i thought i was i general

median locust
#

Get a tank or healer friend to queue with you, or don't play DPS, is how you get better queue times

ionic hazel

small atlas
#

so what quest starts the line for nirvana WHM weapon?

vocal shell
#

Nirvana is zodiac

#

It’s the final upgrade

#

iirc

vapid mulch
#

Would anyone know when the patch notes come out?

median locust
#

Nirvana Zeta? That's ARR yeah

#

I think someone said preliminary patch notes were coming out on friday

#

and the full notes during maintenance

vapid mulch
#

Ah okay thank you!

near gorge
#

@median locust guess have to wait longer xD dont have any friends in this game , went over from Terasad

median locust
#

you learn to live with it as a dps main

twilit abyss
#

found it' it's not the praetorium theme as kael claimed it was

median locust
small atlas
#

oh so i still have to grind through this stupid books? for some reason i heard that i could skip some stuff(im at atma)

#

thanks btw

vocal shell
#

yes

small atlas
#

fudge nuggets

median locust
#

you can skip the first step of the lv60 relic with a fully finished lv50 relic

#

but it's not worth the time

#

the first lv60 step takes like an hour

twilit abyss
#

#

Former WoW player since vanilla, any suggestion on what to make for my first character?

median locust
#

Depends what you like to play

small atlas
#

i got happy for a second that i didnt have to do this

#

thanks for all the help anyways

fathom token
#

Prefer melee 🙂

median locust
#

but know that if you hate your class, you can switch whenever you want after level 10 with no downside

#

Lancer or Pugilist are melee

#

you can also pick up Rogue pretty early on after first creating your character

twilit abyss
#

Lancer/Pugilist

median locust
#

and Samurai unlocks at level 50 if you own the expansions

twilit abyss
#

Samurai at 50

#

i'm just gonna stop typing

fathom token
#

Awesome, Lancer sounds good! I'll give that a shot

twilit abyss
#

I'm sort of confused by rogues are they actually melee

cobalt narwhal
#

so does greed only proc if nobody needs

twilit abyss
#

@cobalt narwhal yes

jade quartz
#

Yes

median locust
#

Yes they just happen to have some skills that have range and look magical

jade quartz
#

And rogues are melee

cobalt narwhal
#

ive been passing on everything cause i didnt wanna fuck anyones loot rip

median locust
#

It rolls between everyone that Needed. If NOBODY Needed, then it rolls for Greed.

fathom token
#

Also, any suggestions on a Data Center? Dunno if there's a reddit guild or not

twilit abyss
#

what region?

fathom token
#

East Coast USA

median locust
#

Aether or Primal if you're planning to maybe raid

twilit abyss
#

sorry, can't help. :p

jade quartz
#

Primal or aether if you want to raid, Crystal for roleplay

#

North American datacentres are all in the same location

little swift
#

subreddit does not have a guild that it runs

fathom token
#

Boo, lol

cobalt narwhal
#

wait i joined a rp dc?

jade quartz
#

Not for different time zones or coastal areas

little swift
#

the members of staff are all on different worlds anyways

cobalt narwhal
#

yikes

twilit abyss
#

my condolences

cobalt narwhal
#

how much is a transfer

twilit abyss
#

as long as you're not on Balmung

jade quartz
#

$18 usd

Hello, i was wondering if anyone new a good guide for easy mounts to get with pictures. I'm level 43 and wan't to know if theirs any mounts i can pick up fairly easily. but the guide i could find has every mount. and its a bit of a hassle trying work out which ones are easy to get and which ones are bleh

cobalt narwhal
#

im on mateus, only joined cause there were 3 bonus xp worlds

#

and the other ones were full when i tried

median locust
#

You can still raid on Crystal, it's just not as active of a raid scene

cobalt narwhal
#

😢

twilit abyss
#

full only means you can't create a character during peak hours

vocal shell
twilit abyss
#

(i think)

cobalt narwhal
#

it does but i was waiting for 29 hours

#

checking in regularly

#

got bored

twilit abyss
#

oh wow

cobalt narwhal
#

the next day it wasnt

#

but whatever

median locust
#

I like this vid

How can I tell what server has the 3x bonus exp?

#

the Preferred Servers?

median locust
#

Yes

vocal shell
#

yes

median locust
#

not 3x

little swift
#

preferred servers have 2x

#

not 3x

median locust
#

But 100% increased exp

fathom token
#

2x, sorry, lol

shrewd owl
#

stars on the server name are preferred servers

celest herald
#

is there a guide out there for the most efficient way to meld 75 materia onto this scroll for the zodiac quest T.T

little swift
#

but its from all sources to all jobs/classes under level 70

tawdry onyx
#

Mainly wanted one that diddn't have every mount, just the easy ones

median locust
#

Buy a bunch of tier 1 materias, meld them till you can't. Buy tier 2 materias, meld them till you can't. Etc.

little swift
#

@celest herald its mostly slam whatever you can from g1 until you can't anymore

#

then g2

median locust
#

Sell what you didn't use afterwards

little swift
#

stats don't matter anymore

#

since that one is glam

cobalt narwhal
#

I can only join a FC on my home world right?

little swift
#

yes

vocal shell
#

yes

celest herald
#

so if a meld fails i lose the alexandrite?

short sparrow
#

I'm doing MSQ Aether on Demand.

#

I found 3/4 Inconspicuously Suspicious Items.

#

The fourth one is hiding really well. Hints?

median locust
#

@celest herald You only lose the materia

celest herald
#

ahh okay thx

raw solstice
#

@short sparrow there's one up high

short sparrow
#

Thank you, that's what I thought but still didn't find it yet.

raw solstice
#

if you'd like I could give you a bit more of info, but you can probably find it searching around looking up if you'd prefer

short sparrow
#

I will hunt for a bit, thank you.

raw solstice
#

yup no problem, enjoy and good luck

small atlas
#

sorry if I'm being repetitive but i get anxious about misunderstanding stuff. so for zodiac its atma>animus>novus>nexus>zodiac braves>zodiac zeta. the zodiac braves weapons are just an upgrade to the nexus weapons? not an entirely separate thing.

#

thanks again

median locust
raw solstice
#

yeah it's just an upgrade process through each step/stage of the relic as you've listed

small atlas
#

ok cool. i understand 100% now after 10 years. ty

crimson crystal
#

Which chest in the aery does lesser panda drop from? wanna know if I need to be running the whole dungeon lol

twilit arch
#

final chest

tulip garnet
#

Do you need to do the Zodiac and Anima weapons to get the Resistance ones?

median locust
#

No

twilit arch
#

no

median locust
#

Separate relic chains

tulip garnet
#

Okay

#

Ty

median locust
#

Relics of different levels are completely separate

#

Only exception is you can use a completed lv50 one to skip the first step of the 60 one, but it's not worth it, and you don't have to

short sparrow
#

@raw solstice found it, and wow it's really easy once you catch sight of where it is from a distance.

raw solstice
#

sure is yup haha

fathom token
#

The only world with bonus exp is not accepting new characters -.-

shrewd owl
#

yeah u gotta wait for the server to not be congested to make a new character

median locust
#

Means too many people are online, you can wait till less people are online

#

usually works well in the middle of the night, or early in the morning

crimson crystal
#

@short sparrow thankfully not much of that after arr lol

short sparrow
#

I can almost smell Heavensward! It's in my sights!

#

Other than MSQs is there anything else I should / have to do before moving into the expansion?

median locust
#

Crystal Tower raids

#

They'll be mandatory after 5.3 drops anyway

short sparrow
#

How do I unlock those... I've done one raid so far, I forget which it was called. Not Coil.

median locust
#

Quest Legacy of Allag in Mor Dhona

#

it's a bluequest

ionic elbow
#

Hello , I want to know which Materia to go for as dragoon in order

#

Critical Hit is max limit , should I go for direct hit or dete ?

median locust
#

Critical Hit Rate > Direct Hit Rate > Determination > Skill Speed

#

If not level 80, ignore substats, go for item level

ionic elbow
#

Its the new relic weapon

#

Should I make all 5 slots Direct Hit Rate ?

median locust
#

If you can fit in Crit, go crit

#

If not, go DH

#

If not, go Det

#

that's how it goes

ionic elbow
#

Crit is max limit

#

Okay got it , thanks a lot

short sparrow
#

@median locust Thank you, I will go and find that soon. I've done some bluequest but are there any other specifics you think are important to get done ASAP?

median locust
#

There's a ton of lv50 dungeons you can do but none of them are really mandatory

#

but they're still fun

ionic elbow
#

Should all materia be lv8 or is lv6 alright ? ( lv6 is 40 , lv8 is 60 )

median locust
#

if you don't feel like continuing MSQ, they're a nice break

#

6 is alright, but make sure to have 6's in the last slots

#

Because when you remove materia, you always remove the last one

#

so if you wanna replace them with 8's later, you don't accidentally break the 8's you already have in it

white ether
#

Hey is there a good video or image or gnb rotation

median locust
#

Cause 6's can't break, but 8's have a 60% chance to break when you remove them from gear

ionic elbow
#

I heard all materia breaks if you removed them

median locust
#

Nope

white ether
#

Also the tonberry dungeon is my favorite

median locust
#

Tiers 1 through 6 never break

#

Tier 7's have a 20% chance to break

#

Tier 8's have 60% chance to break

#

!faq gnbguide

zinc orbitBOT
white ether
#

Thanks

#

Are there any hevansward raids?

#

I have 4 out of 5 of the crystals

median locust
#

crystals?

#

Yeah there's twelve 8-man raids

#

and three 24-man raids

#

at level 60

mossy current
#

How rare is the unhidden leather map

white ether
#

Yeah when ||the dragon took them from you in the midgar dungeon||@median locust

short sparrow
#

12 raids sdfasdf

median locust
#

Ah that

#

There's 12 raids per expansion, and a higher difficulty for each one

short sparrow
#

Wait no you said 3 24 man raids too, OMG I will never get most of this stuff done. XD

median locust
#

Except for A Realm Reborn, there's 13 raids and only the higher difficulty

#

and an even higher difficulty for 4 of those

#

ARR was weird

short sparrow
#

Well it was... not the first really, but still kinda the first.

median locust
#

Nobody does the Coils synced though, don't queue for those lol

#

grab a level 80 or two to get carried through them instead if you care about its story

#

Which is pretty good btw

short sparrow
#

My FC have said they might walk me through the coils.

median locust
#

It's pretty important actually

#

Else at one point in the MSQ you'll be like "hey who're you"

white ether
#

So wait do you count the raids against primals as raids?

median locust
#

No

#

There's Trials

#

and there's Raids

white ether
#

So primal are trials?

median locust
#

Trials are a single boss, a lot of the time MSQ related but not all the time

grave totem
#

hello!! anyone know what's the best way to level up my anima weapon? i am on the 2nd to the last step, the one after you do 3 dungeons and submit 15 pneumatics

median locust
#

Raids can be a little more, and it's part of a series

grave totem
#

it says i need to do events with my weapon equipped

median locust
#

@grave totem If you can get a party, do Eyes of the Creator (Savage) (A9S) unsynced with a handful of people over and over

#

You'll be done in like 90 minutes

#

if you're gonna do it solo, do Brayflox' Longstop (Hard)

#

over and over, but it's way slower

grave totem
#

ohh okay thanks!

#

i dont have a party 😦 i dont have many friends lol ! ill do brayflox then 😄 like around how many timeS?

median locust
#

I've never done it that way but I heard it's the most efficient solo way, honestly lol

#

also you can make a party finder to find people

#

There usually are a handful of other people doing the same thing

grave totem
#

i see. does fate events counts towards the aether tho? because im also working on my eureka armor / weapons. i was wondering if i equip my staff doing those i can do 2 birds with 1 stone?

#

or just dungeons?

median locust
#

Lv70 stuff doesn't count

#

It's only lv50 dungeons or Heavensward content

#

so lv60 max

#

I'm not sure if Fates work

grave totem
#

Oh i see :( thanks!

short sparrow
#

So the bluequest Legacy of Allag, I can't see it on my map... or in my completed quests, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

median locust
#

Have you beaten the base game MSQ?

#

not the patches but just the base game

#

like have you beat Praetorium

short sparrow
#

Yes, definitely. I'm in like patch 2.4 or something.

median locust
#

Should be this guy next to the Mor Dhona aetheryte

#

you might have already picked it up though

short sparrow
#

Yeah, which section would it be under if I completed it already, in the sidequest list?

median locust
short sparrow
#

Oh whoops. Thanks for your help but I did that already. 👀

#

Sorry. Terrible memory.

median locust
#

All good, lol

twilit arch
#

Something to note though the crystalline mean quests are shared between crafters/gatherers

#

gsm/bsm/arm, ltw/wvr/crp, cul/alc, bot/min and fish has its own

#

so you're going to have to pick and choose which one you're going to do for each. general recommendations are gsm/wvr/cul for crafters

#

though it largely doesn't matter at this point with restoration.

mossy tartan
#

What is the name of the website that shows you gear that share the same model?

median locust
#

garlandtools

mossy tartan

so you're going to have to pick and choose which one you're going to do for each. general recommendations are gsm/wvr/cul for crafters
@twilit arch it’s fine, I’m only leveling weaver to 80 followed by botanist (for the time being) Ishgard restoration gives so much exp that leveling others wouldn’t be that much of a problem for me

thorny bluff

I've been seeing a lot of people specifically doing level 5 FATE stuff at level 50+, is there a long-term grind that involves doing stuff like that, or is it just for cheevos?

patent trellis
#

Hi i want to download the game before the 11th but the launcher told me to enter a key to be able to download the game, i even tried with a friend account who had not this problem

twilit arch
#

looks like you downloaded the full launcher and not the trial

#

!faq gotrial

zinc orbitBOT
patent trellis
#

but will i have to download the full launcher atfer the 11th ?

twilit arch
#

I guess i should ask, are you on the trial or the full game

patent trellis
#

In july 2019 i use this account to try the game

twilit arch
#

if you haven't bought the game, then just use the link i posted. its the trial launcher

patent trellis
#

Ok

#

I will be okay when the game will extend his "free trial" in 5 days ? Or will i need to download the game once again ?

twilit arch
#

You won't need to download the game again, you'll just need to download the update (like everyone else)

#

you only need to download the launcher again is if you're upgrading from trial to full game, since trial launcher and full game launcher aren't the same

patent trellis
#

Ok that's working, thanks 👍

frank wigeon
#

Hey will bozja be released on the 11th or sometime after?

twilit arch

it'll release later

Can you bind hotbar actions to the PS4 chatpad?

For example, say that I want to save space for the 32+ Cross Hot Bar. Would I be able to assign Mount/ Dismount to Hot Bar 1 Button 1 and assign HB1B1 to lets say "1" and if I press 1 on the chatpad would I mount/ dismount?

nova umbra
#

how do you ping a PF?

delicate stone
#

just started crafters and noticed all the skills so far are exactly the same... are all crafters the same (aside from what they craft)?

sage plaza
#

yuppers

delicate stone
#

ah, that makes things easier! though I kind of wish they all shared the same hotbar then

stiff osprey
#

can the scholar cast spells through eos?

#

my friend was telling me about a rathalos strat where you can circumvent some mechanic by casting adlo via eos

nova umbra
#

anyone?... anyone know how to link a PF in chat?

stiff osprey
#

but i'm a level 60~ scholar and have never seen anything like that

vocal shell
#

@nova umbra there should be an icon beside the pf message

warped nest
#

Your friend has incorrect info

vocal shell
#

something that looks like a chat bubble

#

click that and it should show up in chat as <pfinder>

warped nest
#

Even if Scholar fairy can heal through the ex rathalos debuff

#

There are no way to cast Adlo through a fairy

#

In ex rathalos trial or any other trials/raids/dungeons

ty anna

remote lintel
#

is steam having some lag now?

simple shore
#

If you're talking about in-game lag

stiff osprey
#

@warped nest ty

#

just wanted to make sure i wasn't missing some crucial mechanic this whole time

vocal shell
#

alot of people have been complaining about lag

simple shore
#

I'll copy-paste what i said in another channel

"idk about the other DC's, but ive been seeing widespread reports of connection issues on Primal - though based on what testing i did, its most likely not FF14's fault, some node taking a shit somewhere more likely. I imagine it could be impacting Crystal/Aether too. Might explain some stuff."

violet star
#

ive been lagging pretty badly too

stiff osprey
#

@remote lintel steam servers completely fell over about an hour ago

remote lintel
#

i see

simple shore
#

TL;DR on my scenario

#

18ms average 0 packet loss to google servers, etc.
110ms average 15% packet loss to Primal DC.

Turn on VPN

Fixes everything

#

So somewhere along the pipe something is dying

#

probably impacting alot of people

leaden ginkgo
#

how long are login queues when new patches are released?

simple shore
#

Depends on your server. But its not going to be obnoxious....usually

leaden ginkgo
#

I was thinking about taking a few days off to play, but I remember in other mmo's it's almost impossible to play due to lag or login queues

simple shore
#

Oh, yeah, it doesnt get bad like WoW or anything

leaden ginkgo
#

good

simple shore
#

Usually if its going to be particularly bad (always for expansions) they turn on auto-logoff AFK until things get less congested.

leaden ginkgo
#

@leaden ginkgo Tuesday, July 28 at 1:00 a.m. to Thursday, August 27 at 12:00 a.m. (PDT)

simple shore
#

Like right now the only reason you get logged out of the game is if you manually do it or your connection gets interrupted

#

So you have people AFK for days on end online

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you

#

I don't get how they can afford to stay afk for so long

#

my electricity bill would skyrocket if I were to do that

stiff osprey
#

who do you generally target with synastry?

#

i assume the off-tank in an 8 man

#

but what about a dungeon?

#

tank or melee dps?

twilit arch
#

the tank, because it'll boost the single target heals you do on them

#

unless you absolutely need to heal two targets at once

lime geode
#

Computers aren't that expensive to leave running, and if you don't have FF14 as your active window it limits the framerate and load on your GPU.

stiff osprey
#

@twilit arch ty

simple shore
#

Yeah, computers actually are pretty cheap on electricity usually

leaden ginkgo
#

do melds affect my retainer's performance?

simple shore
#

Only if they increase the stats that matter

#

!faq retainerbp

zinc orbitBOT
#
What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

BTN/MIN: 2083 Gathering.
FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

twilit arch
#

for combat retainers, no

simple shore
#

tl;dr they can help gathering retainer

twilit arch
#

gathering retainers they can help

leaden ginkgo
#

I see

warped nest
#

Unless your computer is a monster rig with 8 screen

leaden ginkgo
#

does it matter if I have a miner or botanist?

warped nest
#

And blast audio through another 10k equipment

simple shore
#

insofar as?

leaden ginkgo
#

as items I can tell it to collect

warped nest
#

Then keeping it on 24/7 is not gonna increase your bill by a massive margin

twilit arch
#

for specific 1hr ventures, yes. what they bring back depends on what they are

simple shore
#

Well yeah

#

Miners bring back stuff that you as a miner could go get

#

Botanists, same

twilit arch
#

you can also only have them gather items you personally have gathered atleast once

tawdry onyx
#

Guys i just gotmyself an item from the moggle store, i close game and reloaded. and my item is still not in my moogle delivary

#

how long does this normally take

leaden ginkgo
#

so, right now I've only leveled one retainer, who has the same class as mine (I haven't upgraded its job though)

warped nest
#

If it is account wide, it will take a short while

leaden ginkgo
#

Guys i just gotmyself an item from the moggle store, i close game and reloaded. and my item is still not in my moogle delivary
@tawdry onyx it can take a few minutes

tawdry onyx
#

Yeah its an account wide

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah, those take longer

lime geode
#

You can upgrade the retainer?

leaden ginkgo
#

yes

warped nest
#

You can get more retainer

lime geode
#

What's it do?

tawdry onyx
#

Like, go watch an episode of anime and come back longer. or like day logner

jade quartz
#

Visit the Postmoogle and select “reward delivery request” (small circular button at the top of the Postmoogle window) to speed up delivery

gray sage
#

i'm guessing the answer to my question is "no"

leaden ginkgo
#

no like

jade quartz
#

@lime geode you can upgrade base combat class retainers to their jobs, or switch them to expansion jobs

leaden ginkgo
#

upgrade from marauder to warrior

#

but I don't know if it does anything for retainers

warped nest
#

It doesn't do anything on the performance end

jade quartz
#

It lets them equip job gear

lime geode
#

Does it help get better stuff?

#

Ah

simple shore
#

Yeah, there's no reason to not upgrade them to jobs

leaden ginkgo
#

helps you waste ventures afaik

simple shore
#

Because you want your retainers to have the same jobs as you do

quaint forge
#

I do have a question for an opinion. Is Intel HD Graphics 520 that bad?

warped nest
#

@gray sage yeah, probably a no

simple shore
#

so you can load them up with free gear

jade quartz
#

For example if you’re a scholar

gray sage
#

darn 😦

jade quartz
#

You’re gonna want to upgrade your arcanist retainer to Scholar

simple shore
#

@quaint forge Yes, its that bad.

lime geode
#

Makes sense.

jade quartz
#

So they can use your outdated healing gear

leaden ginkgo
#

or some job sets that are exclusive

lime geode
#

Mine is only lvl 39 right now so I had not thought about it. Once she hits 50 she can use the poetics gear.

leaden ginkgo
#

like the ones you get from the job quests

quaint forge
#

@simple shore That explains it. In fact, my FPS will be lowered if I go heavy high graphics

simple shore
#

Anytime you see "intel HD Graphics", it's an "integrated GPU", rather than a dedicated card. TL;DR its fine for watching youtube videos or netflix, but it will perform very poorly in gaming.

quaint forge
#

Which is I have to keep it to normal

#

So any Intel HD graphics does not fit for gaming

simple shore
#

Yeah its one of those misnomers that gets marketed to people

leaden ginkgo
#

it fits for gaming, but not for high graphics settings

#

and probably not mmos

quaint forge
#

True. I could get FF14 for PS4, but I don’t own PS4. (Don’t have to worry about computer setup)

simple shore
#

Ehhhhh not really. If you're playing more modern games it will barely run it, if at all.

leaden ginkgo
#

true

simple shore
#

FF14 is a pretty old game at this point

quaint forge
#

I own Window Surface Pro 3, it’s a education purpose, so it would be obvious it won’t run into good gaming graphics

#

Plus, my laptop slowly getting 60-65 degrees for running FFXIV

lime geode
#

It's old but still beat on graphics cards pretty hard. I can't run max settings on my Vega56.

#

And that's a reasonably good card.

leaden ginkgo
#

are base jobs still "playable" if you remove their crystal?

lime geode
#

Though I run on a 2k screen.

You mean with Mouse Mode?

gloomy mortar
#

Yes, keyboard too

simple shore
#

@leaden ginkgo you technically can, but it would be a really bad idea.

#

On top of losing all your job-specific abilities, you also lose a significant amount of stats

quaint forge
#

You right click the chat log @gloomy mortar

#

Then select hide log window

#

Right click one of the chat section(s)

leaden ginkgo
#

On top of losing all your job-specific abilities, you also lose a significant amount of stats
@simple shore hmm I thought they would compensate the loss of abilities with more stats

simple shore
#

Nope

quaint forge
#

About the keyboard, I never looked at it

simple shore
#

Job stones give you bonus stats

#

You can try it for yourself, just take one off and look at your HP plummet

quaint forge
#

Hmm also, I’m curious what was everyone’s graphics they’re running?

leaden ginkgo
#

I run rtx 2080

violet star
#

1070

leaden ginkgo
#

but with rtx, like 30% of the silicon you pay isn't used

quaint forge
#

I heard it’s really expensive to afford it

leaden ginkgo
#

rtx 2080 is like a 1080ti, but I went for the 2080 due to less power consumption and lower temperatures (I live in a hot region)

jade quartz
#

Integrated graphics chipsets will struggle to run RuneScape

quaint forge
#

Plus, with my current 520 HD intel, it didn’t do any good for my Animation courses + major route (But I digress)

#

You use desktop, yes?

leaden ginkgo
#

I used to play on a toshiba laptop 15 years ago

some games glitched, but I still played

Agreed @leaden ginkgo

mental garnet

is there any cheap crit food for leveling?

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah

#

from major city vendors

#

like 3 or 10 gil each

mental garnet
#

mmk

simple shore
#

Dont bother trying to match stats on levelling food

#

Just buy the cheapest

#

Boiled Eggs or Raisins

leaden ginkgo
#

I buy boiled eggs

mental garnet
#

well

#

just wanted to check if it existed

#

since if it did, the extra crit would be nice over time

leaden ginkgo
#

it's just 2 points of crit

jade quartz
#

Virtually meaningless

mental garnet
#

ya meant something more substantial than that

leaden ginkgo
#

you would get .00001 crit rate

mental garnet
#

i'll just check the wiki's meal page

jade quartz

You’re fine sticking to boiled eggs

leaden ginkgo
#

boiled eggs are your best bet

jade quartz
#

There’s nothing actually worth your time and money.

mental garnet
#

kk

jade quartz
#

Recommend completely disregarding stats on leveling food

leaden ginkgo
#

better food is way more expensive for the little benefit you get

quaint forge
#

Hmm hold up: Is NVIDIA GeForce GT 635 runs a good graphic?

leaden ginkgo
#

like 3k each food, gtfo square

remote lintel
#

if someone who cleared a savage floor joins our party and enters the floor but we don't clear it and leave does that permanently mess up our loot?

quaint forge

Doesn’t have to be too extreme

Doesn’t have to be too extreme
@quaint forge depends on what you want

faint flare
#

No, its only when you clear is loot decided

leaden ginkgo
#

do you want better settings? or more fps?

remote lintel
#

thanks vinyl

quaint forge
#

Just a FPS

#

This NVIDIA GeForce GT 635 belongs to my father’s desktop, that’s what I recall. Comparing to my Intel 520 HD

#

Don’t need to think too hard, I guess I better start learning bout the graphic drivers.

I randomly found this "fellowship finder" thing, is this an FC finder, or is it something different?

Ah, I see it. Thanks.

Yeah, can't really say I can't see why it hasn't been used too often.

Seems so strange there's no general/world chat equivalent in this game.

cobalt narwhal

if your companion is on free stance does it use abilities on its own?

whole wasp
#

Yup.

#

@thorny bluff because of the bots sad

strange yarrow
#

does anybody actually know what the points in ffxiv do?

#

i mean, what the stat points equate to

#

Like, is 322 crit, 3.22% crit extra? How to quantify the gains/

whole wasp
#

They are by breakpoints so it depends on your current stat too.

#

There is a spreadsheet with all the stat values mapped to actual combat stats. Gimme a sec to find it.

warped nest

Tldr: a lot more is better, a lil bit more only matter if it push you to the next tier

And stats are definitely not equally worthwhile

copper pasture

Yes

warped nest
#

You can do it all

strange yarrow

Thank you guys a lot

leaden ginkgo
#

what item is best for GC seal to gil rate?

strange yarrow
#

just trying to figure out a easy way to quantify what my gear is doing

warped nest
#

@copper pasture do take note that you need to be an Arcanist to initiate and complete the SMN and SCH job quests

strange yarrow
#

ill just keep it simple and go for biggest numbers lol

whole wasp
#

Oh just to add, it depends on level too.

warped nest
#

So if you become a SMN, you need to remove the soul stone to be an Arcanist again to finish the SCH unlock quest

whole wasp
#

2k crit at lvl 70 and 2k crit at lvl 80 is completely different.

warped nest
#

Or the other way around

copper pasture
#

thanks

strange yarrow
#

oh ok

warped nest
#

Have fun.

strange yarrow
#

wow thanks

copper pasture
#

and once ive done both unlock quests i can switch between them just by equpping soul?

whole wasp
#

Yup

warped nest
#

You save your job gear as Gearset

#

Then you swap gear set to quickly change job

#

Don't manually equip a weapon, armor, soul stone

whole wasp
#

The only weird thing is that they share levels. So a lvl 70 sch is automatically a lvl 70 smn. Thats about it.

warped nest
#

To change to another job

Could ask your NN too.

if there's nothing

you can put one up

paper ravine

is having 8 blu in a group a guarantee for a spell drop or nah

#

and is missile a low drop rate

copper pasture
#

what does PotD mean

paper ravine
#

palace of the dead

lavish vortex
#

hi!, i hear that tank is the easiest role a lot, does that apply to savage raiding as well?

twilit arch
#

8 blu in a group is not guaranteed drop for spells. if the spell comes from a dungeon, doing it sync'd ensures its 100% chance to learn

#

if you do it unsync or the spell is from open world mobs its a %

#

tho im not sure on exact percent

signal garnet
#

This may be a dumb question but why aren't more quest like the hildebrand line? Outside of these quest i haven't seen anyones face change in a unique way like it does here. Is it just difficult to do?

twilit arch
#

hildibrand is, iirc, where they do a lot of silly things that they eventually do use for msq and such

#

if you look at sb/shb, there's a lot more facial animations in it thats not really present in arr/hw

jade quartz
#

It’s a fair bit of cutscene budget to make Hildibrand yes

signal garnet
#

I noticed a bit in shb but its not quite as present as it is in hildebrand.

#

Just something I was curious about because it makes me almost 10* more interested than the static faces they normally have

jade quartz
#

But also a lot of those Hildibrand faces are deliberately pushing the facial rigging to, like, breaking point for comedic effect

#

Doesn’t really gel with other kinds of content

twilit arch
#

hildibrand has a lot more freedom in being able to push the broundries for silliness

signal garnet
#

Shame

umbral surge
#

Hi, I'm here too

signal garnet
#

Hope shb gets a hildebrand still going through it so I dont know if its concluded or not

jade quartz
#

The devs have said that there’s no Hildibrand planned for Shadowbringers

#

As they’re rather tired of it and want to try different things

little swift
#

hi!, i hear that tank is the easiest role a lot, does that apply to savage raiding as well?
@lavish vortex this is debatable, but in general there are also more tank based mechanics in savage as well. As someone who tanks it, i would say once you know the fights, tanking is still probably easiest out of them

#

tank swaps become more prevalent as well and important

#

so tank coordination is important

jade quartz
#

It wasn’t initially going to come back in Heavensward even, but player demand caused them to bring it back and stretch it out

little swift
#

ffxivcollection might have everything you want

#

jade quartz
#

You can check all tradable non-class-restricted glamour items on the marketboard

#

Pick say the chest slot category

#

And scroll through the pages of results until you reach the level 1 stuff

copper pasture
#

can the chocobo companion get all the skills in all 3 stances?

jade quartz
#

Yes

#

But leveling your chocobo companion all the way to rank 20 to get everything is a long grind

#

And also requires feeding one Thavnairian Onion in order to allow your chocobo to level up for every rank past 10

#

Thavnairian Onions usually sell for like 100–200K on server marketboards

twilit arch
#

you can get 2 onions for free from 2 side quests in heavensward

copper pasture
#

thanks

plain python
#

I can change jobs now. I assume Levequests are used to level up jobs?

whole wasp
#

Levequests are very efficient for gatherers and crafters. For combat, its pretty meh.

jade quartz
#

Leves are pretty much the worst option

#

For combat classes yeah

whole wasp
#

@compact citrus yes. Thats called rubberbanding and caused by lag

jade quartz
#

You can get to level 15/16 mostly off just hunting log targets

plain python
#

so pretty much old school kill-monster-to-level-up grind?

jade quartz
#

And then do daily leveling roulette, and then spam your highest-level dungeon repeatedly

#

No absolutely not

#

That’s the actual worst option

#

Dungeons are the go-to

#

If dungeon queue times are too long, can try Palace of the Dead floors 50–60 repeatedly

lavish vortex
#

what gear should i get for gatherers at lvl 60?

plain python
#

where can I found gear for war disciples as free-trial? Wanna mess around with archer/lancer for a bit, but I main a conjurer so my gear is only cloth.

jade quartz
#

During queue times you can try FATEs, or from level 41 or so on daily beast tribe quests

#

Vendors in all the main city market districts sell gear from level 1–50

whole wasp
#

@compact citrus nothing much you can do. Can try those ping services like wtfast but servers seem to be slightly unstable recently. Should get better in time.

#

The market area in the 3 starting cities sells gear up to 45

#

For all classes

plain python
#

I see

#

is crafting is only for end-game? Or I can gear up along the way with leveling up my craft?

jade quartz
#

At level 15 you can also run the Hall of the Novice as a physical dps to get disciple of war gear that will be good until about level 30.

#

You can get into crafting at any point

#

And could potentially make your own gear but it wouldn’t really be more efficient than just buying stuff or getting dungeon drops

whole wasp
#

Crafting is more like a side hobby thing. You dont need to do it if you dont want to.

jade quartz
#

If you want to make your own gear then you realistically need to level all the crafting classes except culinarian

copper pasture
#

is hall of novice gear good for disciples of magic too?

lavish vortex
#

what gear should i get for gatherers at lvl 60?

whole wasp
#

Yup

plain python
#

it is kinda fun though a bit grindy. I help with deforestation as a Botanist 😄

jade quartz
#

Yes if you run it as a disciple of magic

twilit arch
#

@lavish vortex you can get yellow scrip gear, but honestly would just recommend pushing to 61 and getting the bloodhempen set

whole wasp
#

Level to 61 and wear white gear from vendors is what i did.

jade quartz
#

@lavish vortex easiest option would be to hit 61 and get the level 61 vendor gear from Kugane

lavish vortex
#

thanks a lot!@twilit arch @jade quartz

plain python
#

should i keep old gear (like, for some game, I can dismantle them), or should I just sell them to vendor?

simple shore
#

51/61/71 vendor gear is pretty much enough to carry you all the way to 80 tbh

#

Anything else is a waste of effort

plain python
#

okay :d

simple shore
#

Momo if you've unlocked it you can desynth it

#

But at early levels its not worth bothering with that

#

Since the materials themselves are fairly worthless at low levels too

lavish vortex
#

@simple shore this applies to gatherers too?

simple shore
#

the 51/61/71 thing? Yes

lavish vortex
#

yeah, thx

viscid scroll
#

Just started playing the game and went arcanist. are dots just annoying to put on targets till you get bane? always feel awkward when there are like 10 targets in a dungeon and they die by the time i dot all of them w bio

#

should i just Ruin instead

simple shore
#

Arcanist is pretty rough in early levels

#

If you dont have bane available, yeah, its a bit of a waste to bother manually dot'ing everything if its dying fast

whole wasp
#

Bio them if you think they will live for more than half its duration

#

Else just ruin.

simple shore
#

Later on you'll have very good AoE, so its only a temporary problem

Completely inefficient

spare plinth

simple shore
#

Its literally a button of last resort, and the difference it makes is minimal

little swift
#

your lowest potency fire skill is 180 pot before astral fire stages

#

its not worth to cast scathe

simple shore

Like, you could go through your entire black mage career never once having pressed Scathe and still orange parse every fight in the game

little swift
#

even thunder3 initial and 1 tick of the dot is 110pot

spare plinth

so its better to wait it out

simple shore

TL;DR the only time its a gain is if you have no other viable way to get a cast off, AND it will not delay your next cast

and with the tools available to you at 80 - those situations are nearly zero

Is msq the besg way to farm poetics and how do you upgrade shire gear

halcyon glen
#

Augmented shire gear is done by an NPC in Idylshire

#

it needs Shire gear plus a Deepest Gobdip, Tautest Gobtwine, or whatever the last item is. it's another -est word.

#

You can obtain the augment items from the Tomestone vendor for an extra 100 tomestones or from the vendor to the right of her for a token obtained from each of the three HW alliance raids

As far as farming poetics go, honestly theres a lot of ways to do it

Last trash mob of the 61 dungeon is a prime one for interject

#

Actually come to think of it, there's i think 3 things in there you can use it on

#

There's some in the 63 as well

stiff osprey
#

okay, good to know

#

thanks

simple shore
#

Not only is it more common 61+

#

It also makes a bigger difference

#

In the 73 dungeon theres something only interject can stop and its really bad if you let it go off

#

Well

#

Only Interject/Head Graze

oak ice
#

When you were doing the adds in E1S you learned to keep a finger on Interject

halcyon glen
#

i forget what do e1s adds do if you dont interject?

lavish vortex
#

do you have to do a quest to unlock levequests in Kugane?

halcyon glen
#

looks like just level 60 DoH/DoL?

lavish vortex
#

thx!

oak ice
#

They give themselves an attack buff and then one-shot you with the next Mana Burst

halcyon glen
#

oh right you die

#

New player here, just hit lvl 12.

Right now I am doing all the quests I come upon however I can only play like 10h a week. Can I skip most side quests and just do the main story one?

halcyon glen
#

yes

rapid hatch
#

Are there any lvl requirements for the main quest?

halcyon glen
#

msqdo these
bluequest do these when you can

rapid hatch
#

Oh okay!

oak ice
#

It's advisable to only spam MSQ and class quests

halcyon glen
#

yes, but odds are you're literally never going to hit the level wall on MSQ

#

after level, like, 4.

rapid hatch
#

Yeah I am playing on a extra exp server as well.

oak ice
#

And when you accept a main quest it says in the upper right corner what level it is, same for if it's red when you try to accept it

rapid hatch
#

Ok, tack 🙂

halcyon glen
rapid hatch
#

Gotcha!

ocean vessel
#

is there any difference in which grand company i join

shrewd owl
#

not rly its just whatever colour you like more

halcyon glen
#

and whatever place you can tolerate navigating whenever you want to do turn-ins

weak wharf
#

How often do optional mog items come out? Can we expect some at the next patch?

nocturne reef
#

Can anyone tell me which crafter and gatherer gears I should get for level 80

full spear
#

for end game gear i keep seeing conflicting info should we be going for the highest ilvl or overall stats?

twilit arch
#

until you're at Best in Slot ilvl, just focus on getting higher ilvl

#

When you're at best in slot ilvl, then worry about secondaries

mossy kite
#

do you not always win a TT card from the NPC? beat him twice with no reward other than MGP

twilit arch
#

no, its a chance of getting a card

full spear
#

okay thanks and pretty much thats crystarium then move onto edenchoir if im able to do savages

twilit arch
#

could get the card in 2 wins, or 20

mossy kite
#

thanks

twilit arch
#

mhm, BiS is generally a mix of augmented tomestone gear and savage

full spear
#

gonna be a long few weeks then

crimson wind
#

Buy Neo Ishgardian gear

full spear
#

yeah ive been doing by with part neo and some crystarium

mossy tartan
#

twilit arch
#

Doddard in the crystarium

can someone link me to a faq/ guide for weapons? white mage specifically. tks

keen fable
#

is requirement for the samurai any class at 50?

oak ice
#

Any battle class at 50 and Stormblood installed

keen fable
#

but dark knight and the other two require finishing arr right

oak ice
#

Yes, they learned from their mistake of putting the HW jobs inside the expansion area and didn't do it after that

keen fable
#

smeone mentioned theyre changing quests?

#

next tuesday - is that affecting the hw start

shrewd owl
#

no just ARR

keen fable
#

is it shortening it?

shrewd owl
#

ye a bit of a trim

oak ice
#

At the least they're removing 13 quests from the patch quests and a bunch of quest steps. There was something about them increasing the exp in the base game so you don't get "level walls", too

#

They wanted to remove more than 13 quests, but there was a ton of "important for later-stuff in those

keen fable
#

ah okay

#

thats exciting

#

the level walls are annoying

I'm a returning free trial Steam players that just reinstalled the game after my laptop crashed, but i can't log in.

#

I keep getting This service doesn't have valid license

leaden ginkgo
#

on average without preferred server, how may hours does it take to get to heavensward?

little swift
#

are you sure you downloaded the steam trial edition

#

and not the regular trial

random wave
#

I download it from steam

little swift
#

how long ago was your trial

random wave
#

Uhhh i started it in 2017, relog in again just around last year

#

Before my laptop crashed and i stopped again

little swift
#

hmm

#

i was thinking that it maybe that you logged in prior to the 14-day trial change

random wave
#

I have a suspicion that its caused by my country not supported so the steam version is not updated

#

No, i already logged in after 14 day trial change

crimson wind
#

So do we have a WoW refugee !faq? I think it could be pretty helpful considering the games are very different

little swift
#

hmm what country are you from?

random wave
#

Indonesia

little swift
#

i don't think we have that as an faq but there was a wiki page about it on the subreddit wol

olive horizon
#

I'm level 16 and got invited to a FC
What can I do to contribute to the FC rank?

I think I have to be level 20 and in a Grand company

crimson wind
#

We should make a faq about it then

little swift
#

you just have to play the game to contribute to FC

crimson wind
#

I'm level 16 and got invited to a FC
What can I do to contribute to the FC rank?

I think I have to be level 20 and in a Grand company
@olive horizon play the game

random wave
#

I also got password change prompt prior to this error, does that cause the problem?

little swift
#

can you log into the mogstation?

#

maybe resetting your password may fix it

random wave
#

I logged in the website and it still says free trial

keen fable
#

after sergeant 2, do i need to be 44 to rank up again?

little swift
#

sergeant first class just requires 7k seals

keen fable
#

sorry the one afte

#

after that

little swift
#

chief storm sergeant requires lv44 for that dungeon

#

dzemael darkhold

keen fable
#

ah okay

#

makes sense

random wave
#

Actually, the mogstation kinda floppy

keen fable
#

after i hit sergeant 2 i got tons of seals from all my dungeon gear and couldnt rank up and was sad

random wave
#

I did logged in, but any button i pressed hauls me to the login page again

little swift
#

hmmm have you tried another browser?

random wave
#

Uhhh lemme check, im on firefox

#

No i still kicked back to login page on chrome

little swift
#

hmm something might be wrong with your SE account

random wave
#

Oof, i guess restarting from 1 again then, RIP

little swift
#

since you were on the trial you weren't that far thankfully

#

i'm not particularly techy, so if you still want to try recovering it

random wave
#

I only 35'd 5 job i guess

little swift
#

they may have some solutions

clever cave
#

Log in again

random wave
#

I did, and it still kicks me back in mog station

stiff osprey
#

is palace of the dead worth running on new characters?

#

or is exp better grinding fates

little swift
#

new characters would not be able to access potd until lv17

#

alt jobs however

stiff osprey
#

yes, that's what i meant

#

alt job level 1

#

now 7 from potd

little swift
#

it depends on whether you would have quicker queues for potd

#

floors 51-60

#

in some cases dps would have better queues

stiff osprey
#

i'm in a group of 4

little swift
#

but highest level leveling dungeon would always be the best after roulettes

stiff osprey
#

so we have auto queues

#

right, we're sub 15

#

just wondering if fates are better xp/time

little swift
#

you guys can do your hunting logs

#

to top out your exp first

#

if your higher level jobs are high enough

#

you can always do the monotonous grinding thing outside aleport

#

have someone outside the party blow up whatever you pull

stiff osprey
#

are we stuck to base jobs if we haven't unlocked next job?

little swift
#

i don't really recommend this method because its mindless

stiff osprey
#

ie i'm past 30 in potd, but still a conjurer

little swift
#

you'd have to leave and complete the job quests

stiff osprey
#

will i stop getting new skills

little swift
#

and then reset the file

#

you only get conjurer skills afaik

stiff osprey
#

kk

#

thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I find glam on the market board

little swift
#

if you know the name of it

#

you can type it in the search bar

#

otherwise you can always select an equipment type

#

and scroll through

leaden ginkgo
#

I dont know any names of any glam sadly, im trying to see if there's a glam that looks like dnc gear

little swift
#

!iglam thavnairian bustier

zinc orbitBOT
little swift
#

like this?

leaden ginkgo
#

Mhmm

little swift
#

that set is all class

#

lv1

leaden ginkgo
#

My char's a male tho

stiff osprey
#

just as a data point, my base job dps players got a new ability at level 38 in potd

#

so you can still get something

#

just not much of something

little swift
#

unfortunately thats female only

#

your base class will still get abilities

#

but those would be the class abiltiies

#

not job abiltiies

limpid lantern
#

Should i bother with a relic reborn or doesnit give me lvl 50 weapon ?

lime sphinx
#

can i do the "born again anima" with my 80 PLD, cause technically my WHM weapon IS in my inv

warped nest
#

Doesn't work that way

little swift
#

you have to do it on the class you want it done on

lime sphinx
#

okok

warped nest
#

@limpid lantern you have other means to get lvl 50 weapons

little swift
#

ironworks is more accessible woopwoop

warped nest
#

Relic stuff are for glamours

limpid lantern
#

Yeah i have ironworks :)

little swift
#

relics outside of current expansion aren't worth for use

#

just glamour

limpid lantern
#

Alright ^^

#

Yeah im just soing all the blue + quests

#

Like i was told and this is one of them

little swift
#

the ARR relic in particular is a tedious committment

#

takes a long time

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a site w the male glam tho?

little swift
#

ffxivcollection probably has it

#

as well as garland tools

#

and gamerescape

leaden ginkgo
#

Are u able to link it? Its ok if not

little swift
#

a bit outdated but this has a lot of older stuff

#

this one is in japanese but has more updated information

leaden ginkgo

Hm

Here's a random question, when does Maudlin Latool Ja become available to exchange allied seals for stuff? Do I need to level blue mage all the way to 60 and do class quests or something else?

raven sage
#

yes

smoky glade
#

what is eureka? is it something you can do solo?

spare plinth
#

can it take a while for a new player to go through story and level up to 80?

clever cave
#

Its an instanced zone with their own independent leveling, you can solo but you get greater rewards doing the content in a party @smoky glade

smoky glade
#

yes @spare plinth . i'd say take your time leveling up as it's the meat of the game

#

ohh okay thanks @clever cave

spare plinth
#

i only have arr and i got my black mage up to 50, i wanna level up my other doh classes and jobs

#

do most people buy materials from market place for their crafting class

smoky glade
#

it's cheaper to gather or craft the materials yourself while leveling up the other doh/dol classes

#

if you're short on gil i wouldn't recommend using the marketboard to buy materials

gentle osprey
#

Any seasoned players out there who knows how many nutsacks its gonna cost to upgrade i490 gear?

spare plinth
#

im only in the 20s for crafting

delicate ivy
#

Is there a way to install ffxiv without an active subscription? Using the download link and logging into my account just tells me my sub isn't active

spare plinth
#

no you need a subscription

#

if you're looking for free trial, it needs a separate launcher

delicate ivy
#

Isn't the install the same as the free trial?

spare plinth
#

different launcher

delicate ivy
#

Would that mean if I have both launchers I would install the game twice?

spare plinth
#

no, iirc, one is for free trial players, other is standard sub players

#

if you're on free trial you use the trial launcher, once you buy, you use the standard

delicate ivy
#

Yeah but the content is the same isn't it?

#

If I install the game with the free trial

#

Then get a sub

#

I will need to install fully again?

spare plinth
#

for now ft only goes to 35, but next update you go to heavensward

#

if you get the sub, you need to install the standard launcher

delicate ivy
#

Yes but you would still install the entirety even if you don't have access to it wouldn't you?

#

I don't mean the launcher, I mean the game itself

spare plinth
#

i think the game is still there, once you unlock standard sub then you can proceed

delicate ivy
#

And I looking for a work around right now

crimson wind
#

By downloading the game you download everything

delicate ivy
#

Because I want to install the game before I start my sub

crimson wind
#

No work around it

whole wasp
#

only the launcher is different so you dont have to redownload the parts that free trial already downloaded/installed

#

but free trial only has the base game so there might still be some small patches/content

delicate ivy
#

Wouldn't making a "free trial" give me access to the download and then when I use the actual launcher it wouldn't make me reinstall everything?
