GC turnins/leves/quest items, otherwise yeah haha
halcyon glen
there's like 4 that matter at endgame
raw solstice
lot of recipes just don't see any use
simple shore
and those can be highly relevant
agile laurel
yeah basically all have the same value, except for (heh) flavour
left moth
most of the cul recipies are relics of their expansion
simple shore
But other than that, yeah, 95% of CUL recipes are useless at any given time
jolly sorrel
Most other crafts at least see their stuff used for leveling jobs
twilit arch
for the most part, cul's relevant recipes are their current end-game related ones
halcyon glen
is that to say cul is basically useless for 79 levels? ...yeah can feel like it sometimes

How do I select my dance partner with a dancer?
halcyon glen
use dance partner
zinc orbitBOT

I guess the only alternative SE would have is to have the food actually be relevant. Which makes it near mandatory to level and they'll swim in gil
halcyon glen
oh yeah it is called Closed Position oops im a good dancer i swear
lavish vortex
i just leveled botanist and miner to lvl 50: 1, what gear should i get now? 2. Whats the best way to fast lvl to lvl 80?
left moth
target them and use Closed Position
halcyon glen
must be in a 60+ duty btw
so if you're doing synced coils or whatever you ain't gonna have a dance partner
Or, more commonly, Syrcus Tower
twilit arch
you can get the forager hat and main hand from grand company seals, but generally its easier to push to 51 and get the archaeoskin sets from the ishgard vendor. you can do leves if you have allowances, but generally diadem can last you to 80
agile laurel
dancer DP and rdm raise are the two things people forget they don't have when they get synced low
twilit arch
make sure you're running food and a survival manual while in there
especially if you're going to be leveling crafters via restoration
halcyon glen
@agile laurel and WHM literally any of their useful buttons
agile laurel
halcyon glen
yes I can totally use Medica II in Aurum Vale. Thanks for asking why I'm not using it, TANK.
plucky meadow
primal or aether? new player and not into rp :D
left moth
Agustin: levequests and ishgard restoration are the easiest way to powerlevel (the former will want "Benevolence" type leves or "Piety" leves since they can give a bonus on top of doing them fast)
lavish vortex
@left moth thanks!! what aboiut gear? should i update it?
left moth
primal is pretty ok if you don't mind famfrit's best export (rmt bots) or being generally difficult to create a character in due to said bots
would go with vendor gear until 60 when can get really good scrip gear
twilit arch
lv 60 scrip gear is tbh more hassle than its worth, barring accessories
given its job specific
70 on the other hand
halcyon glen
@plucky meadow We're in an unfortunate state where those same servers have been preferred for 6 months
left moth
if have moogle tribe available can get some equipment from them but the selection is rather limited
radiant summit
what are the differences between the servers
plucky meadow
just wanted to know if there were any worlds / dcs that have a prescence in all stages of the game (early-end) since thats where im gonna be
ah dang
radiant summit
other than people not crossing over
lavish vortex
thanks guys!
faint flare
There isnt any difference really
stable hinge
what farmable drops sell for a lot of gil?
left moth
arma: there used to be differences in terms of tihngs like raid servers, crafting, hunt focus but since world visit is a thing the only difference is server only things (fc's)
stable hinge
I been farming nothing but shin today and yesterday I got zero scales
thats why im trying to find something else
halcyon glen
yeah it be like that sometimes
twilit arch
with duty finder being cross server and world visit being a thing, servers aren't that important. Unless there's a specific free company you want to join or your friends are on a specific world
radiant summit
ok I'll just join primal because I have a friend in primal
halcyon glen
DC, on the other hand, is a thing that matters sometimes
valid pecan
How long does it take to get second job from 60 to 80?

@valid pecan Depends, I was not on Road to 70 and had both WHM and DNC (job that started at 60) at 80 as I finished the first 80 MSQ
left moth
detox: I want to say 10 days plus minus depending on how much grinding you're willing to do versus just using daily roulettes and challenge log
valid pecan
Sounds good ^^, thanks
I just changed from summoner to dancer
At lvl 60, my first char
tidal yarrow
it really depends on how much u play everyday imo
halcyon glen

valid pecan
And I am wondering how long it will take to lvl my summy once I am done with MSQ
radiant summit
thanks
twilit arch
alt jobs generally go a lot quicker than your main for the most part
halcyon glen
Welcome to DNC, I hope you like RNG procs š
tidal yarrow
I loved dnc from how it looked but then I started hating the rng abilities
I have her at 68 I think rn and I got told that at 80 things don't really change
halcyon glen
The big change for me was 72 iirc
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
halcyon glen
At 72 you get once per minute to forcibly acquire every proc at once
tidal yarrow
that's nice
halcyon glen
And since by that time you also have Tech Step and Devilment
You have a really great feeling burst phase
tidal yarrow
just reading this makes we wanna grind her again ahah
quasi spire
can you check market prices while the sell window is open?
twilit arch
for the item you're posting, there's a sale history button
halcyon glen
Tech Step + Devilment -> Saber Dance + Flourish + FD3 -> spam ALL the glowy buttons
tidal yarrow
yeah there a button that tells you the other prices of that item
what is devilment?
simple shore
!action Devilment
zinc orbitBOT

halcyon glen
I'd throw Flourish in the Tech Step GCD as well but you actually can't safely double weave after dances
valid pecan
Thanks @halcyon glen
halcyon glen
as it's a short 1s weave window
tidal yarrow
can you bring more than 1 job on savage content? like 2 summoner? or there is single pick limit
simple shore
You can, but its not optimal
tidal yarrow
then why don't ppl go 4 sam?
valid pecan
Also does dancer have cooler looking weapons on higher lvls? I mean do they glow šš
simple shore
because 4 sam would be bad
tidal yarrow
and annihilat boss
halcyon glen
uhhhhh, so about that
faint flare
Because you fuck over your LB generation
halcyon glen
DNC has solidly the worst weapon glams in the game
simple shore
Dupe jobs = less LB. Also, 4 sam arent getting buffs from anyone - so they'd actually probably do worse DPS than a proper group.
valid pecan
Oh I am sad to hear that
twilit arch
@quasi spire the little button next to "compare prices" brings up the prices of what's currently being sold for the item you're wanting to put up.
halcyon glen
The Padjali from PotD are moderately glowy
tidal yarrow
I see..
simple shore
On top of that, running quad melee in any savage fight sounds like fucking torture.
halcyon glen
The crafted Shinryu chakrams are also solidly glowy
valid pecan
Do you have a pic?
halcyon glen
But they also are like 1.5m gil so
tidal yarrow
sounds cool to me that using different jobs is better. feels like every job has its usage

damn they're cool looking
faint flare
Or advertise selling phastmagoria
twilit arch
either check the marketboard on which one sell well or can just buy like 10 of each
valid pecan
Oh cool
halcyon glen
Most of the rest are frankly metal circles
simple shore
Hah
halcyon glen
Augmented Scaevan aren't awful because dyes exist, Deepshadow is solid, the Yo-Kai event glam is gonna be one of my favorites
simple shore
Probably Yokai then
halcyon glen
and as plain metal circles go, the PvP Nue Chakrams are my favorites

there's the web model viewer but its a bit jank. https://ffxiv.dlunch.net/model.html otherwise can use sites like gamerescape or https://www.ffxivcollection.com/ to find items you like the look of @coarse lily

Is the bomb palanquin a two-seater or does it only just look like one?
magic beacon
on your character sheet?
underneath the main stats is a list of all the rest you have
jade quartz
Bomb palanquin is single-seat
white ether
No you know how matera gives you 9+ in crit hit rate and it goes up to 31?
magic beacon
sure
white ether
Do I have to go to a matera melder to check my stats?
jade quartz
Do you mean the stat caps?
magic beacon
no, your stats are on your character sheet
white ether
Not that
elfin edge
@jade quartz thanks!
white ether
Sorry itās hard to describe
magic beacon
if you mean "how much stats can this piece of gear take in total" then yeah you have to look at the melding menu
jade quartz
If you can meld yourself then you can just right click a piece of gear > meld and see the stat caps at bottom of screen
signal garnet
How do I get the items for skybuilders cloth? I spent an hour in the diadem and I didn't come across a single thing I could use to make it

you can do it yourself if you have a crafter but otherwise then you have to go to a melder NPC

You approve the mats at the npc next to the diadem entrance
magic beacon
you use those to make crafts
jade quartz
Used in every craft
white ether
Oh ok
white ether
Also I unlocked the aether compass but how does it work exactly
magic beacon
its a key item, you use it in the field like a potion and it tells you in what direction the nearest aether current lies
faint flare
You use it and a message tells you how far the closest aether current is
white ether
Thereās an aether current out of reach any tips?
magic beacon
theres always a way around
theyre meant to be reached by foot so theres always a way to walk to it
white ether
Alright Iāll figure it out thanks
cloud lake
So I am no means a computer nerd. If I uncheck my fps for ffxiv will it do any damage to my pc at all or should I just leave it capped at 60?
magic beacon
if you need it there are guides online to find them all
you shouldnt damage your computer for uncapping at 60 fps
itll just run as fast as it can
cloud lake
So it won't stress it at all?
my friend said it might stress the graphics card but he's unsure
magic beacon
it might if you go somewhere with like 1000 people like cities or S rank hunts
itll stress it out but it shouldnt overload your setup unless its running minimum specs
idk your rig but if youre chugging along just recheck it
cloud lake
Alright thank you for clarifing
I have a hp omen i7
not sure what other info you would need
magic beacon
i mean if youre running other, newer games above 60fps then a 10 year old mmo should be fine
cloud lake
I just run this ffxiv for the most part. Other than that not much else
magic beacon
try it out in multiple areas like somewhere dead and then in limsa
see what happens
if your pc starts to scream then maybe just cap it
cloud lake
So it just loads people quicker correct
magic beacon
it means you have a smoother framerate
so visuals are less start-and-stop choppy
and more fluid
cloud lake
alright i'll try it out wish my pc luck

what the flip is this meny for? first time i ever seen it
@onyx kiln new to ShB is a ranking system by area, the more fates you do in a zone the higher your rank which unlocks stuff at the vendors you can buy with those little gemstones
its mostly minions, music, mounts, and monster drops
white ether
Would the aether current quest be in the same area?
magic beacon
its the easiest way to get stuff like skins for leather
Would the aether current quest be in the same area?
@white ether yes, aether current quests unlock currents IN THAT AREA
if you find them all and theres still one or two missing, then you gotta finish your MSQ and come back

I bought heavensward through steam a long time ago and played for a bit and got what seems to be a windows key, but now I bought shadowbringers key but its a steam key and my account won't let me use the key when I try to enter it, is there a way to make a new steam account or?
jovial bronze
sorry if this has been asked a lot previously but is there a difference between buying the game from steam and buying the game from the website?
magic beacon
not in the game, but if you want to upgrade it you have to get it from the same source
so if you buy steam, you have to keep buying steam
strong saddle
Which is better in your opinion steam or from the website?
magic beacon
and the same otherwise, if you buy windows you have to keep buying windows
its the same game
buy it from the SE store and get points for stuff like lanyards and action figures
i have a FF lanyard with my keys on it

from the website imo if you don't have money on your steam wallet
magic beacon
^ that

Is black mage damage like wayy higher then samurai?

thaumaturge/BLM is simple to learn but hard to master
samurai takes a sec to get your bearings but its really easy
Gunbreaker is very very fast, plays like a dps but is a tank
dragoon is fairly simple with a few positonals and a slef buff that needs to stay online the whole fight
you pick what sounds cool or what weapon looks cool
warped nest
Summoner has 2-3 things to juggle in their rotation. The big layer is cycling Dreadwyrm Trance - Bahamut - Firebird stance on a 2 minute cycle. Then within the big layer, you have your Aetherflow, damage over time, Egi Assault + ruin proc to manage

Iām lvl 15 should I keep doing the main quest and the guild Iām in quests?
magic beacon
at 15 you can change classes if you want to
but you cant go to other cities until 20
so i reccomend just doing your MSQ for now
grim pivot
What I did was level everything I found interesting to 10 when I hit 15 and then go from there
gives you some time off too if youre burnt out (although thats quite early to get burnt out)
twilit arch
its level 10 class quest that let's you swap classes
and its the 15 main scenario quest that takes you to the other city states
magic beacon
oh my bad
twilit arch
but yes, priority should be your main scenario quests and class quests
magic beacon
then youre free to pick but its probably more efficient to pick something now and stick with it until 50
grim pivot
Yes you should definitely keep going until you have the airship unlocked

that said, don't feel like its the only things you have to be doing

quite a bit, you can cap it each week easily

for everyone under kai-shirr, its between 107-200~ yellow scrip and 20-40~white scrips (again higher if bonus)

nope
well, fisher also have ocean fishing

I'm new to game, just got a free trial for the moment, will upgrade soon. Just lvl capped a smn 35 amd wondering in there are any crafts I can level up while I wait for upgrade
twilit arch
could pretty much work on all of them as well as the gathering classes
its usually recommended to level them all together anyway since most of the crafters need materials from other crafters
and since you're a trial user, you're not going to have access to the marketboard at the moment
so leveling your gatherers is going to help with getting materials (even with marketboard access still recommended to level gatherers as well so its less costly)

My personal short write-up of the tanks
low swallow
The Hidden Canals of Uznair- how do i unlock this?
jade quartz
Accessed via level 70 gazelleskin treasure maps
When opening the resulting treasure coffer, thereās a roughly 50% chance of spawning a portal to either the Lost Canals or Shifting Altars of Uznair
The Hidden Canals require a second type of map which can only be found from chests in the other two dungeons
Timeworn Thiefās Map is what itās called
low swallow
where do i find the maps?
faint flare
You gather the gazelleskin map (or buy off market)
obsidian patio
Gazelleskin maps come from level 70 gathering nodes
low swallow
im extremely new
faint flare
Thief maps are inside those dungeons like Lyon said at a rare chance
low swallow
so you have to be very detailed with your answers lol
faint flare
Take a miner or botanist to gather them from lv70 nodes
jade quartz
If you have a...level 65 ish or above gatherer then you can gather one map of your own for free once every 18 hours
But you can also buy them off the marketboard and over time youāll generally make a profit from the rewards
Note that all these map dungeons require a party
obsidian patio
Need a gathering class, not a crafter
low swallow
facepalm
jade quartz
Folks often do āmap partiesā where everyone brings several maps
And you all go around together doing a big chain of them and hoping to get dungeon portals to spawn
obsidian patio
But yeah, the tooltip of a map tells you if it wants a party of players or can be done solo
jade quartz
There are level 60 and 80 equivalent to the Uznair map treasure dungeons
Level 60 timeworn dragonskin maps lead to the Aquapolis
jade quartz
And level 80 timeworn zonureskin maps lead to the Dungeons of Lyhe Ghiah
Basically to get to the Hidden Canals of Uznair
Buy timeworn gazelleskin maps and join a party thatās doing map runs together
jade quartz
And hope a timeworn thiefās map drops
Have a level 65 or 66 or above gatherer and you can gather one every 18 hours.
low swallow
ok so lemme make sure i understand this
strong saddle
Is the mentor system even still used today
low swallow
in order to get one every 18hrs i need a gatherer at lvl 65+
faint flare
Yes
low swallow
if not i have to buy the timeworn gazelleskin maps
faint flare
Yes
low swallow
once i do that itll take me to a place where i can use it to trigger an event?
faint flare
You can only hold 1 map per inventory. 1 in key items, 1 in saddlebag, 1 in your bag and 1 per retainer
low swallow
is it like a duty? or
warped nest
You need to find the place yourself
obsidian patio
Yes
warped nest
It is a treasure map after all
obsidian patio
It basically starts a mini-duty that spawns monsters
low swallow
ok if its not a duty how do i get a party?
obsidian patio
Party finder
jade quartz
Finding the right place and using /action dig spawns a treasure chest
Interacting with the treasure chest spawns a few waves of easy monsters
Once theyāre all slain you can open the chest and get some moderate loot
low swallow
ok
jade quartz
Plus a chance that a portal to Uznair will spawn
low swallow
ok i think im understanding it
when i get a gathering class to lvl 65+ where do i get my free map from
obsidian patio
Any level 70 node works
jade quartz
Trees or rocks that can be gathered from
The basic gameplay of gathering classes
Will become immediately clear when you start playing a gathering class
low swallow
so what does grade 70 refer to?
faint flare
A lv70 node
jade quartz
Contains materials between level 66 and 70
This will all become rather self-explanatory when you start playing a gathering class
feral drift
Hey guys, is Weapon's Refrain still super challenging today?
faint flare
Yes
faint flare
It will still take hundreds of hours to clear
jade quartz
Canāt be unsynced
warped nest
Ultimate tier trials cannot be level synced
low swallow
im basically building a Ao dai and i needed the naskin thingies an had no idea how to get them
jade quartz
Buy them tbh
feral drift
oh man, that's scary lol... for the savage raids to unlock it
can we do those unsynced?
jade quartz
Yes
warped nest
Savage yes
faint flare
Ultimates are a whole another beast
warped nest
Ultimate are literally the ultimate in game challenge
jade quartz
But if you havenāt already cleared the current endgame savage fights
Youāre nowhere near ready for ultimate tbh
warped nest
So it is not unusual to have very harsh entry requirements
jade quartz
By that I mean Edenās Verse (Savage)
Ultimate is an order of magnitude more difficult than savage
warped nest
Do the lvl 70 ultimate need specific BiS?
jade quartz
Recommended
dusk zenith
is it possible to obtain two sets of nier 2b gear?
warped nest
Yes
dusk zenith
i want another set to dye with
jade quartz
Yes
obsidian patio
Not really? You can use i470 gear and itāll have enough secondary stats to cap both stats
dusk zenith
i can still roll need on the 2nd chest?
obsidian patio
Yes
leaden ginkgo
is there a way to preview dyes from the glamour plates?
warped nest
You can Need it all
dusk zenith
thanks!
feral drift
Thanks guys!
tulip skiff
Ball mage is hard to master because you have to know the fight like the back of your hand right?
leaden ginkgo
but it only previews the single item, not the whole plate
warped nest
Preview dye, then exit the dye window
jade quartz
Do you mean black mage?
warped nest
Then preview dye more items?
jade quartz
Every job in the game benefits from thorough knowledge of the fight
tulip skiff
Yeah
warped nest
Oh wait, that's on the Try On
zinc orbitBOT
tulip skiff
Yeah but people day black mage hardest
jade quartz
Black mage is an obvious example though with its movement stuff
I wouldnāt say itās the hardest at all
Thatās quite subjective
warped nest
Each jobs are hard on different aspect
obsidian patio
All jobs basically need to know a fight to do good damage
simple shore
It'll consume the moment you save that plate....
simple shore
No, i dont
little swift
you have to consume the dye to reflect it onto the glamour plate
jade quartz
@white sinew sorta kinda scrapped
leaden ginkgo
if my retainer has the dye, and I save the plate, it'll consume it?
low swallow
ty everyone who helped with my question
leaden ginkgo
is there any discord dedicated to gather/crafters?
I want to learn more
or any good resources
zinc orbitBOT
marble drift
and they're your endgame content math wizards.
simple shore
And, conveniently, crafting and gathering is basically just math
leaden ginkgo
ty, im honestly just not sure of even basic things right now. like how to get more of the mainstats for the gatherers
My gear is just all random stuff from quests
im pretty new to this whole thing
magic beacon
just try and get the highest level gear you can, tools included
once you hit 70 and 80 then you can worry about endgame gatherer
leaden ginkgo
should i be buying from market board?
magic beacon
you can, or you can make your own with crafters
faint flare
Vendors. Market board, make it yourself. Scrips when you get high enough
leaden ginkgo
im lvl 47 currently and cant get HQ of any item im grinding
so iassume my stats are bad atm
magic beacon
use leves and grind out levels that way, at 51 you can buy Moogle gear in Zenith and thatll carry you pretty far
faint flare
HQing becomes easier with higher level and more stats in general. Cheap food helps and trying to figure out a good rotation
leaden ginkgo
alright ill try that
I was told that umm, whats it called
the instanced gathering is on par with leves?
right?
magic beacon
GC turn ins also grant major EXP once a day
twilit arch
diadem
leaden ginkgo
Does your stats also give more chances to mine somehting? or is that a static thing
magic beacon
you can buy EXP scrolls from your GC for seals, theyre called Survival Manuals
marble drift
stats
magic beacon
Gathering increases chance to gather an item at all, Perception increases chance to get HQ
marble drift
oh no
magic beacon
some nodes grant extra gather attempts IF you have high stats
marble drift
I thought you meant chance to to collect
leaden ginkgo
oh okay isee what you mean
magic beacon
but those are rarer
leaden ginkgo
yeah for sure. I understand what you meant now
ty :)
ill grind to 51 and pick up the gear you mentioned
I probably wont worry about upgrades till then
white ether
Is there a macro for missions
magic beacon
the Moogle beast tribes in Zenith, in Churnign Mists area
magic beacon
no, save every singe materia you can
leaden ginkgo
alright, thanks for all the help!
simple shore
Materia isnt relevant prior to 80 tbh
magic beacon
you want to start melding them at endgame and youll need all types even low level ones
leaden ginkgo
This channel is a blessing lmao
I'm clueless since the only real skilling ive done in anygame is when i played BDO
marble drift
that only applies to low level gathering and crafting materia
magic beacon
icici
simple shore
Yeah thats just a keybind
marble drift
anything lower than grade 8 or 7 combat materia can be safely sold (or attempted to transmute)
leaden ginkgo
And so just to be certain, diadem can replace leve grinding yeah?
simple shore
Macro implies, you know, actual macro
marble drift
yeah go in with a manual and food buffs
magic beacon
And so just to be certain, diadem can replace leve grinding yeah?
@leaden ginkgo yeah if you want. you might wanna use a leve or two just to be efficient with them
twilit arch
ye you can
marble drift
and just smack rocks, chop trees, fish the fish
leaden ginkgo
Any specific food buff?
faint flare
Any
magic beacon
depends, if its hard to get items get a Gathering food
if its easy to get them but you want HQ more, Perception
simple shore
Dont bother with trying to get correct stats on food while levelling
marble drift
its for the 3% xp buff
magic beacon
and spend GC seals to buy stacks and stacks of Cordial
marble drift
not the stats
simple shore
The cheapest possible vendor food gives you the same exp buff as the most expensive\
leaden ginkgo
That works for me, Alright im gonna get back to grinding now. Thanks for all the help everyone!
marble drift
they're low level Solar. they're not going to be able to gather anything bar the base stuff probably
rugged flicker
Okay, so my window for catching a particular fish just closed but I still have the "Fisher's Intuition" buff. As far as I can tell, no other legendary fish are in this fishing hole. What's this mean?
magic beacon
yeah but the info is still solid
faint flare
You dont get the buff
neat agate
damn it
faint flare
Its only for newly created characters
neat agate
guess I'm going to gilg
rugged flicker
Guess my questions' not gonna be answered before this buff drops, ah well.
spiral hazel
Does upgrading with a complete edition for trial give 30 days?
or does the account need to not be trial
at all
magic beacon
Okay, so my window for catching a particular fish just closed but I still have the "Fisher's Intuition" buff. As far as I can tell, no other legendary fish are in this fishing hole. What's this mean?
@rugged flicker if you have the buff it means you meet minimum requirements, but if the window isnt up you wont catch it
rugged flicker
But that buff isn't always up though.
faint flare
Regardless of age of the account
rugged flicker
In fact I've caught many legendaries without it being up.
magic beacon
then youve caught it in a window that is as of now unknown
rugged flicker
The buff pops up randomly though, and, as the description says, is supposed to mean a legendary is nearby.
So why would it pop up when the window just clsoed?
magic beacon
you can get the buff any time, you just have to have the right stats at the right hole
conditions are right, stats are right, location is right
fish away and pray
rugged flicker
It just seems like a completely pointless buff.
rugged flicker
Like most of the legendaries I caught were when it wasn't up, and it comes up when the window is gone?
Yeah, pretty fucking useless.
magic beacon
okay well good luck have fun
patent citrus
Anyone knows if this score is accurate?
latent prism
is there anyway to quickly pad my IL at level 50 if i don't have poetics
faint flare
Buy of market...maybe the gear in ishgard could work but i forget if thats 50 or 51 minimum
patent citrus
I wonder how to convert this setting to my ingame setting? š¤
and get the same score
torpid juniper
I dont plan on starting this game until the new update releases but I'm interested in making my character. Should I wait? Or does it not matter?

spiral hazel
Ok im annoyed, I bought the game for my friend and its giving him error i2501
when trying to register it
faint flare
Thats a generic connection error. Try a different browser, mobile or vpn
Stuff like that
jolly ingot
hi! Anyone else here use Expresso Glow? I'm trying to uninstall my current version so I can install a new version, but the uninstaller is telling her that it doesn't detect itself within my FFXIV folder (the steam directoy).
Is there typically a place Espresso wants you to install it?

Which healer has the highest personal damage? (Single target) SCH/WHM?
spiral hazel
We tried using a VPN and a new browser
and everything
:/ but still same error but the support desk is down
so what do we do?
mossy tartan
Tried the almighty connection restart?
It could miraculously work, works for me a lot
zinc orbitBOT
spiral hazel
I dont know, he's tried everything.
I live in a different country to him but we both use NA accounts so i got him the game dlc code as a present
but now it wont register it
dry prairie
what can i do if i accidently sent an mostation item to the wrong character? D:
mogstation
mossy tartan
donāt think I can help much with that, my apologies
Lots of mentors are from NA in here. Expect some replies a couple minutes from now @spiral hazel
dry prairie
i jsut bought a costume set and dyes and i sent them to the wrong character T.T
mossy tartan
@dry prairie donāt know if it works, but try sending the items to a friend of yours, and have that friend send the items back to your main character
faint flare
White mage has higher personal dps
mossy tartan
Never really used the mail system except receiving mogstation items, could be wrong
dry prairie
is in a different data center
faint flare
To make up for lack of raid buffs
spiral hazel
We dont know what to do, we've been trying for 3 days now
and no matter what we do, t gives him the error
and I made sure to buy the NA account
umbral surge
Is there a WoW Rogue like job in FFXIV? Something stealthy?
faint flare
I guess you could try to send a ticket into support and see what they say about it @dry prairie. Dont just any of the items and explain clearly and ask if its possible to send it to your other character
Ninja has Hide
faint flare
But stealth isn't a big mechanic
white pike
It's really not.
faint flare
Other than to reset some cooldowns
dry prairie
i will try tyty
white pike
And really it's only useful in solo play and on rare occasion.
umbral surge
@white pike Can they stealth tho?
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI

Awks
faint flare
Gottem
white pike
They can. But it's useful with only two cooldown moves. Really not worth it.
leaden ginkgo
Hey I think I missed something in the conversation earlier. How do I spend/obtain GC? Someone said I can turn them in for guidebooks that give more xp
violet star
@torpid juniper The only benefit of making a character right now is so that you don't have to worry about servers getting too full and you can't make a character when the patch drops
When there are too many people online in a server, you aren't able to make a new character in the world
As a new player, you probably want to pick a preferred server for the exp boost
mossy tartan
Was louisoix a new world in Europe? Or was it there since the beginning?
simple shore
Huh
mossy tartan
Its population is surprisingly low in contrast to other chaos worlds
faint flare
I think its on the newer end
simple shore
Oh server, jesus
mossy tartan
Sorry I donāt know the naming of it correctly (the subdivision of a data center)
faint flare
In (ff1 villian)
simple shore
Yes.
torpid juniper
@violet star so nothing wrong with making one now? Wasnt sure if I'd mess up something
violet star
nah the only complication is that we dont have any confirmation if current trial accounts are getting upgraded
we assume so
elfin edge
there's a LOT of cameos of characters (names) from previous FFs
violet star
if i were in your shoes, i would make a character
so you dont have to worry about it later
when the patch drops, all the preferred worlds are going to be pack all the time
willow cipher
Hi. I have a friend that wants to try out the game but is unsure if they'll get all the benefits of the Aug 12 update if they start their free trial now
So will they receive all the changes of the upcoming patch if they start the free trial now? Or does the changes only applies for those who start it after the patch had gone live?
violet star
they haven't confirmed it yet. we assume that existing free trial accounts will be upgraded and have all the new benefits
willow cipher
(Reduced post ARR questline, viera, HW, lv 60 cap etc)
violet star
last time they upgraded the trial, all existing trial accounts got upgraded
halcyon grail
Can the Barbarians Bardiche be bought from a vendor, or is it only player crafted?
halcyon grail
Thats what I thought, wanted to confirm.
zinc kelp
does anyone have a site or a guide on how to get elemental armor set and weapon? the glowing armor and weapon thingy? I prefer something that is made for a complete idiot like me ( like starting from basics of basics. I didnt read stuff when i was questing and basically rushed myself to end game by buying crafted gear set) so yeah, a guide that's made for an idiot like me who basically dont know anything lol
frank ridge
You can google for Eureka guide
Elemental stuffs happen in the last segments of Eureka
magic beacon
You have to have all the Pyros Logos actions unlocked
then you can buy Elemental Armor with pyros crystals
upgrade them in Hydatos with Hydotos crystals and all logos unlocked
then upgrade them again with BA tokens
leaden ginkgo
Is there multiple novice networks? I notice it saying it has max number but like made me wonder, do mentore have mult channels? Or are mentors placed randomly into one as they fill up?
rugged flicker
I'm, wearing level 52+ gear and I still fail to catch Nepto Dragon every fucking time ><
magic beacon
youl have better luck with Patience II
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
jade quartz
@leaden ginkgo there is one Novice Network per server
There is a limit on how many mentors and how many novices/returners can be in it
If itās full, you have to wait for there to be space
violet star
you can turn in gear for seals
or do the turn ins
some roulettes give seals too i think
magic beacon
theres a little drop box that lets you Hide items in your Gear Sets
so you wont accidentally sell anything any of your classes are equiped with
leaden ginkgo
Where can you do the gear turn-ins?
magic beacon
at the GC table, on the right side if youre facing them
theres a Quartermaster NPC who sells you things
and the other NPC who accepts gear and items
leaden ginkgo
Personnel officer?
magic beacon
Personnel officer?
@leaden ginkgo Provisioning Officer
leaden ginkgo
is there any channels here where i can ask people to help me for signing my fc petition?
simple shore
No, its Personnel
leaden ginkgo
They dont actually offer that for me
simple shore
You need to be a sufficient rank to do Expert Delivery (which is turn in gear for seals)
leaden ginkgo
Im flame private first class atm
simple shore
2nd Sgt if i recall
leaden ginkgo

magic beacon
how do i get all logos unlocked?
@zinc kelp break open logograms you get from bunny fates and NM

So apply for a promotion. Same NPC.

then you combine them to create logos actions at the magia board

Can anyone help with quick e8s before reset (chests dont matter)
blazing crest
Hello everyone, new to discord server and new to ffxiv, level 70 Paladin and in need of help, how do i unlock the scaevan gear? I went to the place where to exchange the tomestones but the NPCs arent there. Any info would help.
simple shore
Scaeven Gear will only be available after completing the MSQ named "Stormblood"
twilit arch
you need to complete the main scenario quest "Stormblood" first before you can see the npcs
blazing crest
Oh. Thank you so much. I am assuming the quest level is somewhere around 69? I am still at quest level 65.
oak ice
It's 70
remote lintel
expansions are always 10 level ranges and end with the expansion name
oak ice
The first couple quests right at 70
remote lintel
so stormblood is 60-70
ashen galleon
Can anyone help with quick e8s before reset (chests dont matter)
torpid juniper
Is your square enix ID your characters name? Or something else? Dont want to make it something dumb for in game.
remote lintel
its just your username to log in to mogstation and the game
torpid juniper
Ok. Thanks.
blazing crest
Thank you for all the help, guess i have to stick with shire gear for 5 more quests levels. Haha
simple shore
@ashen galleon This isnt the channel for asking for that.
oak ice
Oh, no, you will want to upgrade. Gear at 65 has a large uptick in stats
oak ice
But yes, MSQ should keep you supplied
blazing crest
Yeah, that's a mistake that I made. Already skipped the gloves and belt for Materia on quests rewards.
keen fable
why are dragoons made fun of?
remote lintel
materia isn't that useful until max lvl
because they used to have animation locks that would get them killed often
keen fable
i see
oak ice
Slight remnant from bad 2.x balancing, where they had lower magic defense, so they could get 1-shot by raid wides from bosses, plus animation and server latency would often get them killed
keen fable
also, is it normal to lose motivation to play a job after getting the job stone? i keep getting classes to 30 and then losing interest
remote lintel
lol what they got 1 shot from raidwides?
simple shore
No not really
warped nest
Not uncommon
magic beacon
nah but thats prety much the moment they start to become interesting, for most jobs
the 1-30 burn out is real
warped nest
Animation lock means even if you planned and time for boss AOE, someone else could have baited the AOE your way
blazing crest
Would you guys recommend to do materia melding on scaevan gear?
warped nest
Nope
simple shore
Fuck everything about Jump on Exdeath/Neo Exdeath savage
magic beacon
yeah why not
oak ice
You can put leftover grade 6 materia in since it's guaranteed to remove
magic beacon
all you can fit on scaevan gear is Materia 6 and you never use them for 80 gear
oak ice
But delaying MSQ just to farm materia isn't worth it
magic beacon
so fill scaevans up with materia 6
warped nest
What Platt said
blazing crest
Ok, thanks alot.
warped nest
If you have spare 6/5 around, sure, go for it
But don't delay your story progression to gear your Scaeven
remote lintel
you're about to replace your gear tho so 
torpid juniper
Can data center and servers be changed later? I know my brother in law plays but not sure which server. I want to make a character today but wont play with him til next week.
remote lintel
for 18 usd yes
oak ice
You would have to pay
simple shore
Yeah it costs money to change
remote lintel
if he makes a character on the same data center as you you can visit each other for free
torpid juniper
Damn. Going to try to get a hold of him then.
jade quartz
You can visit between different servers on the same data centre freely
oak ice
But you can make characters on multiple servers
remote lintel
^
torpid juniper
Thanks.
halcyon glen
worst case scenario, you make a character today, play 10 levels of content, find out you;re on the wrong DC, and make a new one on the right DC
and you've lost a whopping 2 hours of progress
...That assumes however you own the game
blazing crest
Last question. What materia should i put in my gear? I am playing Paladin. Tenacity, determination or crit?
warped nest
Crit
oak ice
Crit
remote lintel
dont ever meld tenacity

@torpid juniper you can save your character's appearance so you don't have to completely remake them
