#

Because they're obsolete

magic beacon
#

fire 1 has a use

jade quartz
#

Fire 1 remains

marble drift
#

I must've missed it.

magic beacon
#

fire 2 is useless

simple shore
#

Fire is still here through 80

oak ice
#

At 80, it's skill speed until you're at ~2.4 GCD, then crit>DHit>Det

halcyon glen
#

fwiw The Balance says... Yep that

simple shore
#

But Fire 2, Blizz 1, Blizz 2 - all dead spells

marble drift
#

I assume its safe to take F2 B1 and B2 off my bars

magic beacon
#

you use Fire 1 in between your Fire4 spam to refresh astral fire buff

marble drift
#

or well at least shift them into a lower position

jade quartz
#

You will still need them when synced down

torpid juniper
#

@remote lintel that's perfect. Thanks.

marble drift
#

right fair

oak ice
#

If you never do low level content with it again, sure

jade quartz
#

For leveling roulettes and such

simple shore
#

It might be smart to put them on a sidebar so you can swap them in

magic beacon
#

CHB 4

#

out of the way

halcyon glen
#

SkS to your preferred GCD -> crit -> dh -> det for pally @blazing crest

#

2.40 is recommended at level 80

marble drift
#

its a bit sad that F2 and B2 don't just upgrade to 4 respectively

#

with a trait

simple shore
#

Well

keen fable
#

all jobs are good, right?

magic beacon
#

eh, it makes sense

simple shore
#

That wouldnt make any sense really

oak ice
#

4 are single target

simple shore
#

Fire 2 -> Flare would kind of make sense

magic beacon
#

theyre just different spells

remote lintel
#

@keen fable yes

simple shore
#

Blizz 2 -> Freeze would make ALOT of sense

oak ice
#

Yes, all jobs are (mostly) good

keen fable
#

wdym

magic beacon
#

Blizz 2 -> Freeze would make ALOT of sense
@simple shore yeah but they cant do that because B2 is a THM skill and Freeze is a BLM only skill

simple shore
#

I mean, they can

magic beacon
#

thanks, 1.0

oak ice
#

With a trait they could

simple shore
#

They just dont want to code for the trait doing that

marble drift
#

it'll probably happen next xpac

oak ice
#

They did it to Fell Cleave in 5.0

#

Technically

remote lintel
#

SE works in mysterious ways

magic beacon
#

do not look at the devs behind the curtain

torpid juniper
#

Can you customize your character later?

oak ice
#

Yes

#

You can unlock an aesthetician at level ~15, that lets you fix hair, makeup etcetc

torpid juniper
#

Ok. Thanks. Wasnt sure if I'd be locked into the same hairstyle forever lol

#

Thanks for the info

oak ice
#

At level 50, when you beat the climax of 2.0, you get a fantasia that lets you change race and gender

#

Those usually cost $10

#

But the aesthetician is a few gil, if anything

torpid juniper
#

That's cool. I wanted to see the last 3 races but the game wouldn't let me check them out. Why was that?

oak ice
#

You need the expansions installed for those

torpid juniper
#

I bought the copy with all of them. Wonder why it didnt install.

jade quartz
#

2000 gil but that’s a pittance once you’re past like level 25 ish usually

torpid juniper
#

Its PS4 if that matters

jade quartz
#

Sometimes the installations get broken into two for some reason

tulip plover
#

How many quests is post hw?

torpid juniper
#

That's good to hear. I dont mind having the same stuff for awhile.

oak ice
#

About 40

tulip plover
#

Beats 100 any day

jade quartz
#

I wouldn’t be surprised if next time you tried to log in it prompted the expansion download

oak ice
#

But all of them are much more relevant than post ARR

#

You see the effect of them almost immediately

tulip plover
#

Ah ok

jade quartz
#

Yeah post-HW is much better-paced and story-dense, without the filler

#

Shouldn’t feel like a slog

zinc kelp
#

how do you unlock elemental set +2 for the glow effects? do i have to craft +1s first before i get to see the +2 option from artisan in hydatos? i can only see him selling +1 and i want to do the try on options on +2

tulip plover
#

So if i want two different glamours on two different classes i would have to buy a whole new set of gear?

leaden ginkgo
#

Where can i find the moogle beast tribe to buy the gear i was told of? my mining is 51 now

simple shore
#

@tulip plover or save two glamour plates and change them as you change back and forth

jade quartz
#

@tulip plover can simply use the glamour dresser plates

tulip plover
#

What do glamour plates do

jade quartz
#

Save a glamour to apply to your current gear

#

Can attach a plate to a gear set so that switching jobs automatically switches glamour plate

Glamour Dresser FAQ

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"

The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.

"How do I use it?"

In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".

When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

tulip plover
#

Ohhh ok that makes things easier

oak ice
#

@zinc kelp IIRC, you need to unlock all 56 logos actions

leaden ginkgo
#

Where can i find the moogle beast tribe, I'm at The Churning Mists in Zenith like i was told

oak ice
#

And Jakey, the moogle beast tribe requires a long chain of pre-requisite quests

leaden ginkgo
#

ah rip

#

i was told to go here to buy gear for my miner

#

is there any other gear i can get?>

#

at 51

exotic grail
#

Hay guys if I’m a black mage can I become a samurai @50

leaden ginkgo
#

or should i just do the quest chain

jade quartz
#

@zinc kelp +1 and +2 have identical appearances

oak ice
#

You can buy gear in Ishgard

simple shore
#

@leaden ginkgo just buy vendor gear at Jewelled Crozier in Ishgard. Its not worth the effort to do what you're doing

oak ice
#

@exotic grail you can if you have Stormblood installed

#

It only requires a combat job at 50

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it worth it in the long run to do this? I want to become an omnicrafter but im not sure where to start

#

so ive been mining

exotic grail
#

Platt thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

but ty ill buy ishgard gear for now

oak ice
#

Moogles give a ton of exp to crafter jobs, so they're worth doing daily

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright i'll def work on unlocking it then

oak ice
#

It is slower than leves, but not as mind numbing since it's only 3 per day, also not sure how they stack up to Ishgard

leaden ginkgo
#

I was told the gear can carry me for a while

simple shore
#

Gatherers realistically dont need to care about that

#

Buy vendor gear at 51, 61, 71 and that'll get you all the way to 80

leaden ginkgo
#

hmm alright

#

thanks

oak ice
#

And remember to unlock weekly deliveries, they are stupid amounts of exp and gives yellow scrips for basically free gear

leaden ginkgo
#

Where can i find more info on that?

#

is it just called weekly deliveries?

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks for the help

#

ill look into it

mental garnet
#

can i do levequests as a level 80 class then claim the reward on a different class?

simple shore
#

No

mental garnet

dang

mossy tartan

I feel like the item’s quality is increasing super slowly when I try to craft a level 64 item (using level 68-71 gear) Weaver is level 71. What could be wrong? I could never reach 100% HQ without running out of CP

simple shore
#

Probably a wrong rotation

#

What is the item you're trying to craft

#

and what are your current Craftsmanship/Control/CP

mossy tartan
#

Yep, in fact - I’m crafting the kudzu thread just so I can obtain master weaver III in order to progress the current weaver quest

oak ice

Along with the Grani mount and Fran minion

However, if you want to be able to figure this out yourself, in the future - utilize ffxivteamcraft.com

mossy tartan
#

Will learn from it as well, time to improve my crafting skills

white ether

Is level 50-60 heavensward

simple shore
#

Go to the crafting simulator, enter in your stats and the item, and you can figure out how to do it.

oak ice
#

Yes

halcyon glen
#

Indeed

simple shore
#

btw that Tricks in there is purely so that Poor cant land on Byregot's. Dont be alarmed when it says that it failed to execute that specific step.

wise acorn
#

Better question; Is there any effective method for leveling your trade job while preserving what little gil you have?

jade quartz
#

Gather your own materials

halcyon glen
#

HW begins with the level 50 msq “Coming to Ishgard”

wise acorn
#

Makes sense to me

jade quartz
#

There will be a cutscene with enormous text in the screen: HEAVENSWARD

#

Can’t really miss it

white ether
#

Yeah yeah I know

halcyon glen
#

I mean you could skip it but like don’t

white ether
#

If I follow msq would it make it level 60 for stormblood?

halcyon glen
#

Easily

leaden ginkgo
#

especially if preferred server

halcyon glen
#

I had some slight issues with levels in HW due to dividing exp between two classes, not having road to 70, doing the entire expansion in like 4 days, and not having ever unlocked based frontline roulette

solar surge
#

So right now I'm at level 48. Can't do the main story because I need level 50, I've done all of the high level stuff on Mor Dhona and Coerthas.. Is there something else I can do to level up quickly, or do I just have to keep doing levemetes?

halcyon glen
#

Leve... no

vagrant scroll
#

dungeons is how i levelled

leaden ginkgo
#

fate and highest lvl dungeon available maybe

halcyon glen
#

Run Aurum Vale 3 times

#

Be done with it

simple shore
#

@solar surge do your Roulettes. If you did them for the day, queue Aurum Vale

halcyon glen
#

^

solar surge
#

Okay, thank you

#

Where do I get Aurum? Don't see it under my dungeons

rich bay
#

@mossy tartan

Is the quest the level 60 Weaver quest where you are at?

If that is the case, you don't have manipulation yet.

Replace Manipulation in Balmerick's macro with Waste Not 2 in that case.

simple shore
#

If you havent unlocked Aurum Vale, its unlocked at Vesper Bay in Western Thanalan. Quest is named "Going for Gold"

leaden ginkgo
#

i think aurum u have to unlcok

jade quartz
#

Leves are the worst option other than literally just grinding overworld mobs

solar surge
#

I lied I have it

leaden ginkgo
#

good luck in aurum

simple shore
#

Yes, never do leves on a combat class

#

Very bad

solar surge
#

Weird, I thought they were decent. The more you know I guess

leaden ginkgo
#

i hope your teammates like fruit

halcyon glen
#

I was about to ask how you managed to get level walled at 50

jade quartz
#

Do leveling roulette once a day

#

And then highest dungeon

halcyon glen
#

But if you’re doing two classes that’ll happen

solar surge
#

Eh, I'm mostly doing DRG, kinda strayed off of THM at 25

#

But yeah, a lot of my early main quests were THM, so leveled a bit slower on DRG

halcyon glen
#

Probably for the best for now. You can use your time in the patches to catch THM up if you’d like

solar surge
#

True, probably a good idea

#

Thanks for the advice guys

halcyon glen
#

You’re probably gonna wanna do hw on drg

#

For like thematic reasons

#

Just a guess

simple shore
#

Yes, if you're already playing and liking DRG

#

Then staying on it for HW is a good idea

solar surge
#

Yeah, I planned on it. I eventually want to do most of the classes, but DRG/DRK/Summoner stand out. But I'm pretty used to DRG so far, so not gonna go changing to ARC/DRK yet

mental garnet
#

is there a "meta" strategy to train desynth levels cheaply?

simple shore
#

Not really. Just desynth everything you loot that isnt something you're using.

mental garnet
#

hmm aight

simple shore
#

Its not like the old days where powering up desynth skill was particularly important to unlock stuff

#

You can desynth any item in the game from 1 skill

mental garnet
#

yeah that's fair

#
THM/BLM leveling rotations
marble drift
#

ah right missed the first bit

simple shore
#

What about it?

marble drift
#

they all have you open single target with blizzard

simple shore
#

Correct

marble drift
#

couldn't you open with fire?

simple shore
#

Nope

#

The reason you open with B3 is so that when you eventually F3 (after doing whatever you have to do to get there), the F3 basically costs no mana

marble drift
#

oh so you get the most F4's out

simple shore
#

Yes. In fact, if you're at the point where F4 is a thing

marble drift
#

so even on dry openers you open with blizzard

simple shore
#

its even more important because of B4

#

Yes

#

Always

leaden ginkgo
#

how can I increase the amount of ore I can gather with my miner?

#

besides skills

simple shore
#

@leaden ginkgo explain what you mean exactly

marble drift
#

so do I wanna go in completely stack less before a dungeon boss

#

to reopen fully?

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah, a node yields 4-5 ores

simple shore
#

There's no need because you can just B3 and it sets you to 3 stack of Blizzard

leaden ginkgo
#

and if I use some abilities, I can double that

#

I wonder if I can increase the amount of items a node yields with gear

marble drift
#

ohyeah it overwrites. I keep forgetting that

torpid juniper
#

Is pc and PS4 cross compatible? I'd like to play with my friend on PC if possible. I am on PS4.

gritty oracle
#

@leaden ginkgo At later levels you get skills to increase yield temporarily (either for current node or only the next gathering attemp)

#

But they cost GP

halcyon glen
#

@torpid juniper yes

torpid juniper
#

Awesome. Thanks.

leaden ginkgo
#

so GP is what I should aim for then

simple shore
#

@leaden ginkgo kind of. At higher gear levels (and higher class levels), some nodes will have properties that will give you extra attempts or bonus yield.

leaden ginkgo
#

@leaden ginkgo kind of. At higher gear levels (and higher class levels), some nodes will have properties that will give you extra attempts or bonus yield.
@simple shore is there a way to increase the rate at which I find those nodes? or is it completely random?

marble drift
#

I keep forgetting that B3 and F3 respectly don't just take away an opposing stack but wipe them completely and give you stacks of thier element

gritty oracle
#

You should aim for both GP (which allows you to use more skills), gathering (which increases the chance you get ore from your gathering attempts) and perception (which increases chance you'll get HQ ore)

simple shore
#

@leaden ginkgo what level are you on miner?

leaden ginkgo
#

I keep forgetting that B3 and F3 respectly don't just take away an opposing stack but wipe them completely and give you stacks of thier element
@marble drift it doesn't work like that, the skills themselves tell you how many shards they give

#

@leaden ginkgo what level are you on miner?
@simple shore 35

simple shore
#

Okay so you have no control over it at that stage

leaden ginkgo
#

all I have right now is an ability: King's Yield, costs 400 GP and doubles items gathered

simple shore
#

At level 53 (after completing the level 53 quest) you will get a trait called "Stone Whisperer V". This trait allows any node that doesnt already have a condition to randomly have some condition on it. and those bonus conditions scale with your gear

leaden ginkgo
#

oh

#

I should just level up then, I just wanted to be more effective with the time I invest gathering

simple shore
#

i.e. if i go whack some low level nodes on my 80 miner, the "unlabelled nodes" might have "+3 yield" or "+2 attempts" on them after i open them

#

But at your level you have no control over it. The only thing you can do at your level is pick the 3 nodes that are best out of the cluster of four, and use those ones

#

ARR nodes are always in clusters of 4. Two will have conditions, two wont. So you want to make sure you're maximizing ones that help you out

#

Thus, hit the nodes with conditions and ONE of the ones without. Ignore the fourth one.

#

The first node will then respawn

leaden ginkgo
#

how can I tell which ones are the good ones?

simple shore
#

Assuming you've been doing your quests

#

it should literally tell you when you click on the node

leaden ginkgo
#

yes

simple shore
#

Stone Whisperer I-IV unlock the ability to have those conditions

#

i.e. "yield +1" or "HQ rate +15%" or whatever

leaden ginkgo
#

yes

#

I have those

simple shore
#

Yeah so

#

when you click on the node

leaden ginkgo
#

so I just ignore the nodes that give nothing?

simple shore
#

it should literally say that when you target it

#

No no no

#

Re-read what i said

#

4 nodes. 2 with conditions. 2 without. You need to be farming 3 nodes to force respawns.

leaden ginkgo
#

yes, that's why I always end up leaving up one behind, usually the farthest one

simple shore
#

So pick one of the non-condition nodes (ideally make it the one thats far away from the other three) and ignore it

leaden ginkgo
#

ooh

#

I understand now

simple shore
#

This advice only applies until you get out of ARR. HW and onwards, nodes are in 3 clusters of two, and that strategy is a waste of time.

leaden ginkgo
#

thank you very much

torpid juniper
#

I know PS4 and PC are cross compatible but is it easy to go into voice chat?

simple shore
#

There is no in-game voice chat

leaden ginkgo
#

if i transfer to another world(same data center) ill lose my apartment but retain everything that's in storage/inventory right?

torpid juniper
#

Ps4 has a party chat so I was hoping there would be something similar.

simple shore
#

most PC players use Discord for that

torpid juniper
#

Ok. I'll have to do that then. Thanks.

simple shore
#

@leaden ginkgo define "storage"

@mossy tartan did you craft it as a collectible?

#

No, how can I do that?

valid pecan
#

How do I disable unactive hotkeys on my hotbar?

little swift
#

its in character config

#

hotbar > hide unused hotkeys

ebon drum
#

so we lose a full day of subscription then or is that added back as an extra day?

tulip plover
#

And how do you upgrade shirr gear?

simple shore
#

using items purchased from the same vendor and taking them to an NPC south of that building whose name i forget. Selka maybe?

#

Its exactly the same way ironworks functioned though, if you did that

#

Buy gear, buy (upgrade item), take to different NPC

valid pecan
#

@little swift also can I hide those hotbar numbers?

#

Nvm

#

Thanks ^^

Anyone playing on Shiva Server on Light datacenter? I have a bad connections since weeks. I see a red connection issue flag often on my nameplate. I already tried some VPN services and still looking for a good on - any suggestions? Or is the server in general very laggy?

simple shore
#

Server is unlikely to be the issue.

#

Its going to be your internet connection / your connection to that DC

Datacenter IP Addresses

List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter

Aether: 204.2.229.9

Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Chaos: 195.82.50.9

Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158

how do I ping the IP?

Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*

simple shore
#

Use this information to check your connection to the DC. I suggest doing :
ping -n 100 195.82.50.10

#

and report back here what the average MS was as well as loss %

uncut light
#

21ms avg, 0 % loss

simple shore
#

Okay so we know that a more...."normal" connection to the DC isnt an issue at this very moment. I assume you just had issues recently?

uncut light
#

i tested it often. i dont see any package loss usually. for exmaple in go to lower docks its worse. i cant run a macro because everything will fail due to connection issues. also opening the market board will take seconds. other regions like stormblood areas are smooth

simple shore
#

Interesting. If you're having problems based on where you are, then its more likely to be a PC problem rather than a connection problem.

#

Since its not as if those zones are operating in independent servers or anything.

uncut light
#

Also thought about that. but no. yesterday, primetime 10pm a was in a hunt train. 50 ppl- no lag. no issues. 2 hrs before 5 ppl treasure hunt - most of the time connection issues

simple shore
#

Well all i can say is run a test of the type i suggested simultaneous with you experiencing the issue.

#

If the game is choking but pings are coming back fine (make sure you're doing enough of them, the default 4 pings is not sufficient), its not strictly a connection problem most likely.

vagrant scroll
#

if different area loads are funky, aren't those areas he's trying to load heavier data? market, docks is city, stormblood areas a bit more ghosttown for data?

simple shore
#

Yeah, and that could be a factor as well, but its hard to say. In any case, its not the server causing the problem, nor the DC

#

Or you'd see people screaming bloody murder about it

vagrant scroll

might not be packet loss, but that would make sense. could also be other things linked to heavier areas i guess

simple shore
#

VPN wont help if the issue is that your ISP is throttling you, for example

#

Nor will any VPN help if the issue is something you have installed (intentionally or not....) on your PC that's causing it.

vagrant scroll
#

isp throttle wouldn't make much sense, they generally only throttle when it is monetary gain, at least in US regions. VPN would likely only make it worse unless there's a bad hop it helps you dodge. but that would show in packet loss/ping

simple shore
#

Yeah, but he's in EU presumably

#

based on DC

vagrant scroll
#

ah yeah

simple shore
#

So who knows what kind of dodgy internet might be going on there.

vagrant scroll
#

there's a tool for a deeper traceroute iirc, i used it when checking my old (busted) modem, checks packet loss on every hop between client and server. might help illuminate.

#

can't remember what it was called but the log files were great, i'm sure there's a couple tools for it.

simple shore
#

TL;DR - Its not the servers fault or the DC's fault (unless you see mass quantities of people complaining). Its probably not your ISP's fault if you run a ping test simultaneous with experiencing the issue and it looks good.

As RDM, am I supposed to interrupt my combo to rez?

simple shore
#

@leaden ginkgo most of them are character specific, but they will specify on the page. Most of them are level 1 and can be used to glamour any gear.

#

@gritty oracle which combo?

gritty oracle
#

You should check if it's gender restricted though just to be safe

If someone is telling you to interrupt your melee combo to res, tell them to piss off.

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.

hi im new to the game. Is there a way to meld iron works gear puchased from tomes?

warped nest
#

If you are not a crafter yourself

#

You can ask melder NPC to do it for you

leaden ginkgo
#

well tried melder npc but theres no slot on my iron works gear to put materia

simple shore
#

Its generally not worth bothering to meld gear before 80

warped nest
#

If it doesn't have slots at all

#

Then you cannot meld

Hi guys, i am coming into game from WoW and GW2, where i am used to have few skills on tab and be ok with it... So FFXIV is kinda scary for me 😄 Which first DPS class should be better for me, Red Mage or Machinist? I need a class with easy rotation which uses as few buttons as possible.. 😄

warped nest
#

You can't start with either of them

#

Unfortunately

ebon sun
#

i know but which way headed

frank ridge
#

Eh I'd say Dancer

#

DNC has the least buttons

warped nest
#

Dancer is built around RNG procs though, so it might not be up your alley if you don't like to play reactively around random procs and priorities

leaden ginkgo
#

is there an LFG on this discord ?

warped nest
#

You did got very close with your choice on red Mage and machinist

#

Machinist has no randomness at all in its rotation. It is clear and concise.

#

Some of Red Mage attack spell can proc other spells. That said, Red Mage proc is very easy to manage as it revolve around keeping your black and white mana somewhat balanced

frank ridge
#

is there an LFG on this discord ?
@leaden ginkgo There's recruitment channels like #603040697884475393

ebon sun
#

@warped nest sounds good, i guess i pick one from these two based on aestetics 🙂 any of them who has simpler way to level from lvl 1 ?

warped nest
#

You cannot start with either of them

#

And neither of them start at lvl 1

ebon sun
#

i know, i mean simpler pre-job 🙂

warped nest
#

If I have to pick... Based on simple rotation... Tank?

frank ridge
#

BLM? It's pretty easy pre-50s

warped nest
#

Definitely not BLM

#

BLM has simple concept, but annoyingly confusing rotation while leveling

frank ridge
#

Lol

warped nest
#

We have a faq for BLM leveling rotation

#

!faq blmleveling

zinc orbitBOT
#
THM/BLM leveling rotations
warped nest
#

Gladiator/Paladin and Marauder/Warrior have very straight forward combat rotation

#

Paladin have very high button count

#

Warrior is actually one of the lowest in terms of button count

frank ridge
#

MNK & DRG have positionals

#

BRD has... lots of things to keep track of

warped nest
#

From lvl 1-50, BRD imo, is simpler than Monk

gritty oracle
#

Monk has all the positionals, like so many of them
DRG starts having positionals at 50

warped nest
#

Monk is pretty nasty just by doing those positonals

frank ridge
#

It's frustrating until you get to 50 as well

warped nest
#

BRD is rather simple and have low button count from 1-50

gritty oracle
#

BRD is Not hard to play

warped nest
#

All these recommendations of mine are done under the assumption that @ebon sun are swapping to Red Mage and machinist at lvl 50

#

So, I am recommending marauder/Warrior (tank) or archer/Bard (ranged physical Dps)

#

For low button count and simpler combat until you get to rdm and mch

frank ridge
#

I mean WHM has three buttons to do damage as well haha

limpid lantern
#

Theres gonna be 24 hour maintenance for 5.3 ?

frank ridge
#

Yep

limpid lantern
#

Is that always or just for big stuff ?

frank ridge
#

Depends

ebon sun
#

@warped nest thanks for help, i guess i pick warrior for leveling to get used to game 🙂 just last question, is there any penalty for leveling as melee class and then switch to ranged lvl 50 ?

frank ridge
#

Nope

warped nest
#

There is no stat growth from job

little swift
#

Major patches or preexpansion updates usually have longer maintenances

warped nest
#

For example, Playing multiple mages to lvl 60+, won't affect your tank's stat if you decide to become one much later

#

All stats effectively come from your equipment

grim adder
#

Is there a custom delivery that gives more yellow scrips than another or do they all give the same amt

mossy tartan
#

Whenever I try to use the weaver skill “manipulation” it says action not learned?

simple shore

Manipulation is from a level 65 quest

#

Hence why i asked you earlier

#

Did you complete your quests

mossy tartan
#

Hey how do i level alt classes if theres no more MSQ?
@coarse pollen you level them by doing FATEs, hunting logs, running max level dungeon that you can do if the queues are forgiving

simple shore
#

Its unlocked on a per-class basis as well

#

So you need to get through those quest chains on every crafter

mossy tartan
#

Did you complete your quests
@simple shore I just finished HW weaver quests

#

Oh, it’ll be unlocked in stormblood it seems?

warped nest
#

@white ether you can buy them from Marketboard, craft it yourself, or buy from your Grand Company with GC seal (you need to be at a certain rank iirc)

simple shore
#

As said - the level 65 quest

mossy tartan
#

I improvised a rotation that helped me get stuff to max quality fortunately

#

Hey. I was following the main sotry line, but the last person I did a main story line quest for didn't give me another quest once I finished the current quest. What do I do?

shrewd owl
#

uhhh check the top left of ur screen

#

it should tell you which quest is next

viscid aspen
#

Okay.

#

Hm. There os a quest there, but it isn't a main storyline icon quest. Just a normal one.

slate crow
#

Do all@blue quests unlock something?

vocal shell
#

yes bluequest is an indication that quest will atleast unlock something

jade quartz
#

or are a prerequisite to quests that unlock something

viscid aspen
#

Oh. Okay!

slate crow
#

I was doing one in Yanxia, but it didn’t seem to unlock anything.

jade quartz
#

probably a prerequisite for the Namazu beast tribe quests

slate crow
#

Fish people?

#

There was one involving a wolf man.

grave totem
#

How do i get another relic weapon? I dont have the quest from rowena anymore? I want to make one for my whm

jade quartz
#

That'd be a Namazu prerequisite yeah

#

@grave totem level 50 relic? As a white mage, go to Gerolt in Hyrstmill and accept "A Relic Reborn (Thyrus)"

grave totem
#

Anima relic

jade quartz
#

Go to Azys Lla and accept the first quest from Ardashir again as a white mage

vivid wolf
#

When is cure 3 usefull?

#

seems like cure 2 is mostly used

grave totem
#

Okay thanks lyon!

#

You use cure3 on raids when you have to stack as a group and the boss deal aoe dmg

vivid wolf
#

wouldnt medica serve the same purpose then?

grave totem
#

Cure3 heals for more

#

Some raid boss deals a lot of dmg

jade quartz
#

Medica is basically obsolete past level 50

#

Cure 3 is the go-to for close party stack mechanics that deal high damage

#

or raidwide damage that allows the party to be close together.

#

Very small AoE radius but high heal potency.

#

Not all fights have places where it's useful

#

but when it is useful, it's a very powerful tool.

slate crow
#

What’s the wolf man quest line unlock?

vivid wolf
#

A dance i think

#

And some fun sidequests

jade quartz
#

The Namazu beast tribe quests

vivid wolf
#

Oh wait nvm

#

Got confused with that zombie gentleman guy

slate crow
#

Thought that was the fish person side quests that unlocks Namazu. There’s a fish guy and a wolf guy.

jade quartz
#

Yes

#

after you complete each of those sidequest chain there's another sidequest chain that unites those two stories

#

all the Stormblood and Shadowbringers zones have setups like this

slate crow
#

Oooh. Gotcha.

jade quartz
#

and in this case the Yanxia ones are a prerequisite for the Namazu crafter/gatherer beast tribe quests.

slate crow
#

Tempted to skip them now. Beast Tribe are tedious to build up their respective meters.

#

And I don’t do DoH/L

jade quartz
#

Namazu beast tribe quests are honestly excellent

#

but only doable as a crafter or gatherer

#

primary purpose of beast tribe quests is exp

#

they all give good exp for their respective classes

#

leveling up rep and getting access to mounts etc. is a bonus

fringe lotus
#

Best DoH/L for Summoner/Scholar?

viscid aspen
#

How do I sell equipment I don't need anymore?

green grail
#

@fringe lotus doesn't really work like that, it's all or nothing since all crafts require mats/mid-crafts from other crafters, and what crafter can craft/repair sch/smn gear changes with level or raid tier etc

leaden ginkgo
#

generally how much will not being capable of double weaving hold me back in savage content? or is it not that big of a deal/only affects specific jobs?

violet star
#

depends on the job

#

MCH for example needs to double weave or else it feels terrible

#

DRG seems pretty lenient on double weaving

green grail
#

just talk to a vendor, open your armory chest and right click > sell whatever you want @viscid aspen

Hello sorry I'm too lazy to remember or check but how many characters can I create in the same world and total with the entry-level subs?

obsidian patio
#

1 per world, 8 in total with entry subscription
8 per world, 40 in total with standard subscription

jade quartz
#

Wynne got it

#

8 in the same data center only?

obsidian patio
#

8 anywhere

frosty badger
#

Oh really

#

US or JP even?

obsidian patio
#

yes

frosty badger
#

Ok thanks

#

I think I need to switch to standard...

#

For easier sharing items and gil between charas

#

Am I doing it right?

obsidian patio
#

standard is basically required to do that

#

transferring items/gil cross-world between yourself requires another person to hold the items for you.

#

unless you want to use the marketboard to 'trade' the items

frosty badger
#

But for it to be like the entry subs price I need to sub for multiple months right

@leaden ginkgo I can't double weave either, this is my experience.
BRD: Feels pretty bad due to the number of ogcds you gotta use, especially during Mage's ballad.
SCH: Since you can use instant casts on demand, this is actually decent, but you're gonna lose some DPS (80 potency per ruin 2 cast).
DRG: Actually pretty good! Most jumps can't be double weaved anyways, so you're not losing much.
RDM: Also pretty comfy due to the low number of ogcds. Although the first part of the melee combo feels kinda shitty because you can't weave at all during riposte-zwerchhau-redoublement with high ping.
AST: Both pretty good and pretty bad. The opener is hard to pull off without double weaving, so you're gonna miss raid buff window with divination, but outside of that, you're supposed to single weave with malefic anyway, so you lose nothing.
SMN: It can also instant cast on demand, plus you might not even lose that much potency if you juggle egi assaults and trances well.
DNC: Feels pretty bad in tech window :/ I was recommended to only save two feathers for tech to better space FD1 and FD3.

#

TLDR if you accept you're gonna lose some DPS, you're gonna be fine.

#

But there are jobs where you actively have to work around the issue.

#

I don't think there are jobs that become impossible without double weaving (except maybe mch because overheat)

jade quartz
#

MCH is still possible

#

overheat window is just bad feels

When I hit lvl 60, what's my next step when it comes to gear?

#

if you want to view the image in browser, click on it and then click on "open original"

Also make sure to look at your Shire gear before glamouring over it, Shire gear actually looks really good!
Also augment it, need 5 deepEST gobtwine 5 deepEST gobcoat and 1 deepEST gobdip for a full set

frosty badger
#

I need to reenable something?

gritty oracle
#

Augmenting also makes it dyeable

frosty badger
#

What's like the recommended subs term?

#

3 months?

#

Like the most sold option

jade quartz
#

Entry level sub can only be paid for one month at a time

#

if you pay for six months of standard sub at a time then it's same price as entry

frosty badger
#

So it's convenient for most?

obsidian patio
#

entirely depends on you and how often you see yourself playing the game.

jade quartz
#

but that's if you have the financial stability to know that you're fine paying that much in bulk at once

frosty badger
#

I see

#

I play quite a lot and daily

#

But I find entry still the most flexible

#

I never switched to standard

jade quartz
#

there's no reason to switch to standard unless you want multiple alts on the same server

#

or if you're alt-crazy and need more than 8 in total

#

which is

#

very few players

frosty badger
#

Ok noted

#

I mean

#

Free retainers haha

valid pecan
#

I don't see lvl 60 gear for dancer tho

#

Or I am blind

gritty oracle
#

Dancer gets a set of gear when you unlock the class, in a coffer

#

And you can buy aiming ironworks gear for them

obsidian patio
#

shire*

gritty oracle
#

Sorry shire yeah

#

It doesn't have class specific raid etc gear (if that's what you're thinking) because when level 60 was endgame, dancer didn't exist yet

valid pecan
#

Oh okay

#

But I can wear aiming gear?

gritty oracle
#

Dancer was released in Shadowbringers, level 60 was heavenward

#

Yes

#

Aiming gear is for all ranged physical: DNC, BRD and MCH

#

And any other ranged physical jobs released in the future

#

I don't see aiming gear when I come to the npc

#

Btw I don't have a weapon for dancer in shire?

#

And with 0 risk?

gritty oracle
#

You gotta buy 10 tokens (the one with the pale seal) and micro tomestone iirc, then trade it in in the NPC right of her

#

Yep

#

You just can't access FC buffs, linkshells (crossworld LS work just fine) and your retainers when world visiting

#

Is there like achievement rewards for progressing in the ranks of other grand companies?

#

obsidian patio
#

yes each grand company has their own set of achievements for various things

#

So there is a point for switching

obsidian patio
#

for doing turn-ins, GC leves, earning seals

#

I swapped between all three to get the minions and bardings

#

If you buy a house does the plot get made available if you dont sub for a while?

#

DO NOTE, that you can't wear GC items for grand companies that you're not currently apart of.

@mossy kite Normally, if you don't enter your house in 45 days, the house gets taken away from you and put on sale. But now it's paused.

#

@leaden ginkgo I currently main SCH and RDM by the way. They feel pretty comfy even if I can't double weave, although sometimes I get greedy and use engagement during melee combo and clip pretty hard.
Also if you're up to spending a bit, there's VPN services that allegedly reduce ping. I'm stingy with my irl money so I don't know much about them, but there should be plenty info about them on da interweb.

#

What's the kupo command for that?

#

@frosty badger Ishgard housing district will come out at some point, but people say it won't be sooner than 6.0.

#

If you just go msq

faint flare
#

Probably like 10hours or something

limpid lantern
#

That little ?

faint flare
#

People average the entire ARR in lile 60-70hours

obsidian patio
#

depends a lot on reading speed

limpid lantern
#

People were saying it would take very long

#

High reading speed

faint flare
#

Its a slog but its mostly teleporting and running around

#

With occasional instances

limpid lantern
#

Then ill probably do it before patch

#

Since i can play 6-8 hours a day

faint flare
#

You can definitely get it done prior to patch

#

Thats for sure

#

Was contemplating waiting because someone said it would take 100 of hours even to get from arr to hw

#

Only 2 classes i havent tried and am interested in are drk and mch

#

Nah, slight exaggeration

limpid lantern
#

And astro but ill try it after patch

#

Like i said, average time from the start of arr to Heavensward is like 60-70hours

#

Give or take on que times

#

And how distracted you get

limpid lantern
#

First time i did it (i restarted 3 days ago on prefereed server) i was at 120 hours

#

And i was at 2.2ish

#

But in my defense, i helped 3 other people through dungeons and other content a lot

#

So i did some story content 2-3 times.

faint flare
#

Yeah, if you only did story and the bare minimum to get by xp wise (cause weird jumps), probably 70hours on average

do the gc squadron member tactics actually affect what they do in the dungeons

shrewd owl
#

pretty sure the complete edition is the one with the expansions

limpid lantern
#

@strong saddle not sure but i think you need the complete edition on ps4 for all dlc

strong saddle
#

Lemme check just in case

molten kayak
#

got my healer on offensive for the damage boost but i feel like they end up not healing till im almost dead

limpid lantern
#

The one from 27.50 in the ps store i thjnk it was

obsidian patio
#

yeah aggressive for healers make them take bigger risks when healing to maximize damage

#

not sure on how the tactics affect the other roles but it's the most noticeable on healer

raven star
#

Anyone good with gshade/errors?

molten kayak
#

aight makes sense

strong saddle
#

Uhh is screwing up as astrologist the worde thing anyone can do

raven star
#

My friend is stuck with Unable to complete version check after uninstalling gshade

forest laurel
#

wdym exactly tanuki

#

if you fuck up as any healer then someone's gonna die

strong saddle
#

Fair point

#

Is it avaliable for the standard edition

obsidian patio
#

astrologian is an expansion job so you can't get it with only the base game

#

(until 5.3 hits, that is)

forest laurel
#

astrologian? not yet
if you mean starter edition that is

strong saddle
#

True

#

think i messed up

#

my cousin said the complete edition was for $30 and i gor standard

indigo drift
#

why have i stopped gaining exp at level 50?

forest laurel
#

do you have the expansions

faint flare
#

Because you need the expansions

obsidian patio
#

You need the expansions registered to level up past level 50.

indigo drift
#

i dont know?

strong saddle
#

Yel i only bought the standard edition rip. It was 50% off sale

forest laurel
#

if you have the ARR title screen then you only have the base game

indigo drift
#

shit think i did the same xD

obsidian patio
#

@strong saddle not sure if the sale is still active, but I think I heard shadowbringers is on sale on PSN

strong saddle
#

i'll check when they ship it to my house

shrewd owl
#

oh you got the right one

faint flare
#

Complete edition gives you everything

frosty badger
#

well that's A LOT of new content

strong saddle
#

I only bought the standard edition

forest laurel
#

you mean starter?

strong saddle
#

i didnt read it 😦

faint flare
#

Thata complete

shrewd owl
#

wait im confused now

#

tanuki did you get standard or complete

simple shore
#

It literally says complete on wht you just posted

strong saddle
#

No it was standard i bought

forest laurel
#

so starter edition.

#

wait

shrewd owl
#

oh

forest laurel
#

that's for the expansion

patent citrus
#

that's only shadowbringers 🤔

#

not even the starter

simple shore
#

what the hell

forest laurel
#

yeah

simple shore
#

thats.....even more wrong

strong saddle
#

Are u serious..

shrewd owl
#

damn u gotta go get ARR seperately now

strong saddle
#

So i just bought dlc

forest laurel
#

yes

patent citrus
#

yeah, you just bought DLC

strong saddle
#

....

faint flare
#

Yeah its useless until you get starter

forest laurel
#

go get starter edition

frosty badger
#

sorry to hear that my dude 😦

faint flare
#

Its still on sale on se store so

#

Still saving money

strong saddle
#

gtg clock in i'll bbl

#

Uhh can i get a refund if its from the square enjx store?

forest laurel
#

no

strong saddle
#

..

forest laurel
#

don't think you can

#

if you have shadowbringers bought you're still fine, you just need to buy starter edition and THEN use the shadowbringers code

obsidian patio
#

you could try canceling the order since you said it was physical and not digital.

indigo drift
#

i bought starter too lol#

gritty oracle
#

Also when you buy for real, don't forget to get a RAF code!

indigo drift
#

hjkust bought complete edition xD

#

RAF code?

Recruit a friend program

okay#

gritty oracle

Basically you ask someone with an active subscription to send you their code, you redeem it and both of you get free stuff

indigo drift
#

ohhhh i like that

#

gotta do some housework back in 10

indigo drift
#

i jsut bought the complete edition when i had the start edition first, how do i unlock the content?

#

<@&473626701947994134> ^ please help

obsidian patio
#

register it to your mogstation

#

enter the code there

indigo drift
#

O.O i have no idea what that is or how to do it

obsidian patio
#

The mogstation is where you manage your account

faint flare
#

Its the same way you did the starter edition

indigo drift
#

okay ill look

#

I bought it through steam so where do i get the code?

warped nest
#

Look at the XIV page in your steam library

#

Right side

#

There should be a key section you can click

indigo drift
#

okay ill look ty

#

what do you mean key section?

faint flare
#

Right click 14 in your library

#

Show Steam keys

indigo drift
#

okay

faint flare
#

Its that pop up you get whenever you open games that shows keys

indigo drift
#

found it ty

#

thanks for the help everyone 😄

strong saddle
#

Can u make BIS gear for raiding

leaden ginkgo
#

there are BiS sets for every job listed in the balance discord

faint flare
#

The gear you craft (like Neo ishgardian) is the easiest gear you can get outside of Time locks for raiding

obsidian patio
#

If you mean craft the BiS gear, then no.

faint flare
#

Bis gear is pretty much Always a mix of raid gear and upgrade tome gear, save for 1 or 2 anomalies

stray holly
#

Heyy guyss im pretty new to final fantasy 14 soo i wanted to ask u guys wat shud i focus on doing at the start?

#

Im like really lost

heavy mica
#

hi, any reason why my wife cannot create a viera or tigerface? she has all dlcs and free slots

#

!faq viera

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

No tag named viera exists, Kupo!

green grail
#

just follow the main scenario quests msq @stray holly

#

probably didn't add shadowbringers to the account on mogstation @heavy mica

strong saddle
#

Dark knight is heavens ward right?

obsidian patio
#

did they register the expansion while the game was still active?

#

yes

left moth
#

@stray holly msq, learning game terms, and generally taking up the piecemeal approach like use of hall of novice

stray holly
#

Yeaaa learning game terms r proving to be really hard cause im new to the final fantasy world as a whole lol @left moth

grim adder
#

Does anyone happen to know the break points for gathering for the next patch or what i should be aiming for ?

simple shore
#

No

#

Nobody will know that until patch day

#

Anyone claiming to know is, frankly, full of it.

left moth
#

Since itll be to create a new crafting set its likely to not be really up there (if can gather hq neo ish mats now should be able to get new 5.3 mats)

strong saddle
#

Uhh lets say i make my account for the free trial on ps4 would i haveto download it from the website or the ps stre?

left moth
#

Psn handles everything ps4 wise, se store should just give a code for psn

simple shore
#

Yeah. We can make reasonable inferences, of course. But nobody can state with authority what the specifics will be.

#

That said i seem to remember the materials for the SB equivalent being higher.

grim adder
#

Ooo ok is there a baseline i should be aiming for to gather neo ish mats ^^; i want to know before i continue penta melding ;-;

simple shore
#

I wouldnt pentameld at all right now if it was me, but that's another matter.

#

Like, at this point the chances that you'll be wrong are not insignificant, and with it being new crafter/gatherer gear blowing through your entire supply of materia right before you will need a giant pile of it seems unwise.

left moth
#

My rule of thumb for gathering set is 2 overmelds max since that covers most main stats using bis as guide while avoiding too much time grinding for materia to destroy during melding

grim adder
#

Well its too late now 😔✌️i invested a lot

#

Ty for the help !!

fading crystal
#

If i started on steam then change to the mog station version do i get to keep my character? Or do i have to restart?

simple shore
#

"mog station version"?

fading crystal
#

The non steam version

simple shore
#

Both Steam and Non-Steam utilize Mog Station as account management

fading crystal
#

Idk what to call it

#

Ooh?

#

So i get to keep my character?

simple shore
#

Well, maybe maybe not. You need to give more detail on exactly what you've done.

left moth
#

Have to make a new service account for standalone version

fading crystal
#

I did that.

simple shore
#

Well, if you did that, then no, you wont have characters.

left moth
#

SE logic means cant convert one account

simple shore
#

Steam and Non-Steam are completely isolated from each other account-wise.

fading crystal
#

AAAAAAA

strong saddle
#

Gg

fading crystal
#

Damn it. Time to get back to 24

simple shore
#

I only asked because you called it "mog station version" so i assumed perhaps you were confused.

fading crystal
#

I called it mogstation because i didnt realise non steam and steam used mogstation.

nova umbra
#

should I turn off the "face enemy when attacking" setting to maximize dps for the turn away attacks?

raw solstice
#

No. To use any weaponskill/spell, you need to be facing the target

frigid isle
#

Can monsters drop items or mounts/pets in this game?

faint flare
#

Monsters occasionally drop crafting mats in the overworld primarily

#

But never mounts or minions, those are primarily in chests

#

Or brought with various currencies

frigid isle
#

I see ty

nova umbra
left moth
#

Eureka has a small handful of nms that drop minions but thats the exception

nova umbra
#

for the normal versions, will doing higher raids lose rewards for lower ones?

left moth
#

No

twilit arch
#

no

#

thats only a savage thing

nova umbra
#

nice, thanks

strong saddle
#

Is cooking a hassle to level

gritty oracle
#

Kinda, you will use base level ingredients (salt, garlic etc) even in high level recipes

#

At least it doesn't really need mining

#

It's actually fairly self sufficient

#

You want to get to 20 and then use firmament

pseudo ether
#

does someone know some amazing players that would be willing to carry someone for the omega mount xD? having no friends sucks ;D

gritty oracle
#

Omega mount?

#

Where does it drop from?

pseudo ether
#

Alphascape V4.0 (Savage)

gritty oracle
#

Oh

#

Yeah O12S is amazingly hard

pseudo ether
#

Model O mount 😛

gritty oracle
#

You could open party finder for [Practice]

#

Even with coordinated voice chat, we never got past hello world with my old group

pseudo ether
#

I hate party finder :/ everytime i farm a mount with it i get stuck for weeks since people who get it leave and then you have someone new who needs it 😄 and my loot luck is hot garbage ;D

gritty oracle
#

With O12S, you'll have trouble enough actually clearing

unborn light
#

so i'm installing FF14 on my laptop, went to 50ish% and internet stop - now i'm redownloading it ..is there no way to download it in chunks? wifi is slow too ( tech channel is dead rn)

median locust
#

Farming mounts from Savage fights isn't that bad cause it always drops, 100% of the time. Clearing is the issue for O12S lol

strong saddle
#

Whats one think Dak knight lacks?

gritty oracle
#

For me, when I got disconnected from the internet, reconnected and restarted the download, it just resumed the download from where it left off

median locust
#

Is there one?

unborn light
#

Like if there's a slight hiccup with connectivity it will kinda crash and I have to retry from the start.. :/

pseudo ether
#

What Savage runs would you Recommend ? i want some cool mounts 😒 PVP would be amazing too ... but i never get into the group i want to xD which is normally winning on our server 😛

faint flare
#

Unsync O12S is easy

#

You just do hello world 1

unborn light
#

I have to download it from the launcher right? (i'm from PS4 so new to gaming on PC)

faint flare
#

And the charges on M/F and like 1 synergy

median locust
#

all I can think of is that Dark Knight lacks raidwide mitigation when going into old Ultimate raids because it's synced to 70 and gets its raidwide after 70

cobalt narwhal
#

does a fantasia allow for a name change aswell?

median locust
#

no

faint flare
#

No

cobalt narwhal
#

i dont see a name change item on the shop

median locust
#

Name change is a separate 10 dollars, it's a service on mogstation

left moth
#

@unborn light yes launcher downloads the game on pc

twilit arch
#

its under additional services @cobalt narwhal

left moth
#

It should resume at the last successful downloaded patch

unborn light
#

@left moth appreciate it..will just have to try patiently.

cobalt narwhal
#

account wide means every dc right?

faint flare
#

Yes, for every character

#

Past, present and future

left moth
#

Yes every character on an account

pseudo ether
#

how is the Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage) raid ? just as hard as the Omega one 😛 ?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You need to do more of the fight as well since there isnt much more gear above it so you can't roll over it as much as Omega

pseudo ether
#

I guess its time to stop playing xD

median locust
#

Harder probably, we outgear it less so you still have to do most of it

faint flare
#

Unsync Omega isn't that bad

#

A full group mows it down and you kill it doing a few mechanics

pseudo ether
#

Define isnt that bad 😛

faint flare
#

The only big things you look out for is M/F dashes, Patch and Hello world 1

#

Even with deaths you'll never see enrage

#

As long as you know those its not hard

#

You kill it after Hello world 1 depending on deaths

#

Even if you mess up debuff passing during Hello world you can still get through it

pseudo ether
#

hmmm ... might try it then i guess 😮

strong saddle
#

Wait the free trial will eventually have heavens ward included. So u get a real reborn as well?

faint flare
#

Yes, everything up to 60

median locust
#

Yeah you get everything before Stormblood

strong saddle
#

gotcha so i meed stormblood and shadowbringers

median locust
#

Shadowbringers includes all past expansions so

#

only Shadowbringers

#

can't buy just Stormblood anymore

twilit arch
#

mind you, if you're on trial you will still need to buy the starter edition and shadowbringers or the complete edition (which is everything)

faint flare
#

@pseudo ether just look up everything up to M/F charges for m/F and everything up to Hello, world 1 for final omega

twilit arch
#

just because the free trial will allow you to play up to 60 doesn't mean you own it.

pseudo ether
#

i did watch a few vids about the first phase , about the eye in the background , knockback etc hello world 1 i need to watch

strong saddle
#

All i see is the starter edition for pc and mac

gritty oracle
#

Starter edition is arr
you need to buy that and Shadowbringers, or the complete edition, which is basically both

proven bay
#

Is the Black Pegasus a flying mount?

#

And how rare is it to get?

twilit arch
#

all mounts can fly

#

and its decently rare since it comes from gold, iirc, palace of the dead sacks

#

Which means you have to do the challenge floors

#

and also get lucky

proven bay
#

Yeah, it's found at floors 151-200

#

What's the drop rate?

twilit arch
#

couldn't tell you, havent done it myself and no place really with that kind of information

proven bay
#

Huh, that sucks SadG

faint flare
#

Its low

#

🤷‍♂️

proven bay
#

It looks really good though. Might eventually go grind for that mount

#

I am correct in assuming you can just replay floors right?

faint flare
#

Can only start from 51 at the latest

#

And you must be in a premade party

#

You cant instance match it

#

You also cant wipe prior to 101+

twilit arch
#

not for challenge floors

faint flare
#

Wiping means you're locked out of it

twilit arch
#

Tbh you're probably better off biting the gil cost of whatever it is on the mb

#

than investing time into the challenge floors to get it

proven bay
#

What I mean is, once you get to floor 151, do you need to advance to floor 200 and replay the entire dungeon?

#

Wait, you can do that brug
You can buy the mount?

twilit arch
#

yes

simple shore
#

You cant start from 151

faint flare
#

You have to either continue up or start over from 51 for another run

twilit arch
#

its sold on the marketboard

median locust
#

yeah the whistle is marketable

simple shore
#

If you wipe you have to start over from 51

twilit arch
#

but any time you complete 200

#

you have to start from 51 again

median locust
#

Night Pegasus Whistle I think

proven bay
#

Oh, I see now @twilit arch

#

Thanks AYAYA

gritty oracle
#

How many times would I have to run copied to get a full outfit for one role? On average.

median locust
#

I couldn't tell you, but it depends on the role and how many people in your party can Need the gear you want

agile laurel
#

Worth noting for the night pegasus, it's sellable so I'd say it's probably less effort to grind up gil than actually go high PotD

#

aaaaand my chat scrolled

#

nice

#

that was already mentioned
