like how bahamut coils has 5 turns
#questions-and-help
normal breach
wintry chasm
it has 3 fights
normal breach
is each instance a separate raid?
faint flare
Yes
normal breach
or is it 1 raid with 3 bosses
round crag
The first coil of bahamut is the only 8 man raid series to have 5 fights btw
Every other raid tier has 4
wintry chasm
3 raids by that definition
faint flare
24mans are basically dungeons with 4 bosses
normal breach
do i gotta beat all 3?
round crag
3 raids with 4 bosses each for the 24 mans
faint flare
Yes
wintry chasm
Yes
normal breach
or just the first one
wintry chasm
All
normal breach
kk
faint flare
The entire quest line
solemn delta
Yes but they're quick and very easy now
round crag
It’s a continuous story
wintry chasm
Yeah 24-mans aren't hard
and it's a good story
idk why you wouldn't do it tbh
also it unlocks a good roulette
normal breach
its the "legacy of allag" quest right
solemn delta
Apart from the one savage that can be a pain
wintry chasm
yeah
faint flare
Yes
faint flare
Yes
round crag
Yes
faint flare
24
wintry chasm
coil is 8
faint meadow
Alliance Raid = 24 man
Regular Raid = 8 man
solemn delta
Just opinion but I would focus on msq, roulettes then come back to the binding coil. Unless your really into the story
faint meadow
Up to you, but i'd say msq and roulette first
quick notch
well Crystal Tower will become MSQ in 5 days , mandatory to get in HW 
solemn delta
If your not used to party finder and don't mind being carried your gonna struggle getting a group
faint meadow
The story and dailies are more important for new players tbh
Shouldn't be hard to find CT people but the old raids struggle a bit yea
solemn delta
The one savage one even me and my buddy at 80 wiped a few times 😂
faint meadow
And most parties will do the shit unsynced to make it go quicker with less people
solemn delta
The poetics are nice.
dry prairie
is there a way to contact with a community manager ? o.o
solemn delta
But they aren't a huge deal you won't know what to do with them eventually lol
I don't believe there's any mods on here that work for SE.

hmm, i see, ty :c

curious, the FF14 is on sale, if I buy it but aren't ready to play it yet, can I postpone the start of the 30 day sub that comes with it?
faint flare
Yes, just dont enter the code
quick notch
wait a second
solemn delta
There very fast at replying though so send a question using the site.
I've never waited more than a few hours.
quick notch
why buy the game when the free trial for new account is getting reworked ?
faint flare
For the sale
simple shore
because the complete edition (including all of the expansions) is on sale
so buying it now saves you some money
gray sage
I want to get it while its on sale so that when I do get a better computer or PS4 I can start playing it
solemn delta
It might not be on sale lol?
median locust
also without the starter edition, you'll have a gil limit and you won't be able to use most social features
gray sage
I really think they should raise the gil limit to at least let you buy an apartment, considering you can now level up to 60
faint meadow
Yeaaa, best way to go is buy CE now, play trial to 60 on classes you want then make your character official if we're talking cost effectiveness
leaden ginkgo
i dont think the price for those are static
weak lance
What edition is the go-to?
faint meadow
Complete
solemn delta
Complete
faint meadow
The rest aren't worth looking at if you're serious about playing
solemn delta
And, very much advised, join a preferred server.
If your friends play just make sure you join the same data centre.
limpid lantern
Urths fount is also to be done later right ?
median locust
It'll be harder to get a queue for it since it's not in trials roulette but you can still clear it in DF
can wait or get carried though, it's kinda hard
limpid lantern
Ill wait and do it properly with a group then ^^
I dont like getting carried, i want to pull my weight
quasi widget
queue for it its not that bad
median locust
it's not an extreme trial but it's definitely the hardest normal mode trial in ARR lol
simple shore
Odin's just very unforgiving with specific mechanics
Like getting hit with his point blank AoE is going to kill you, period.

Anyone knows what the current ticket wait time is approximately? I opened one a couple of days and can't continue playing unfortunately until the ticket is solved :/
median locust
And he spams tank busters that deal half your health mitigated, every 30 seconds
simple shore
@ashen lantern what is the nature of the ticket?
twilit arch
@median locust it pretty much is an extreme even though its not put under the extreme section. its definitely not a normal mode trial since its not in trial roulette
gray sage
Does anyone have a good site to find some edo period japanese names for a Raen Au Ra?
quick notch
Mitsurugi Nobunaga should work
gray sage
my current name idea is "Yuri-yanagi Umi-majo (Lily-willow Sea-witch)"
ashen lantern
@simple shore resolving a payment problem 
gray sage
Then again, I could of course make the argument that my name was something I gave myself and was not born with (similar to the fact that I chose my name as a trans woman)
simple shore
@ashen lantern payment issues tend to be slower. I'm guessing that since you "can't continue playing", you did (intentionally or not) a chargeback or something?
ionic elbow
Hello. Are there groups that do treasure maps ?
simple shore
Sure. But finding one is the trick.
There's no one answer i can give to find one. Some FC's do them as FC's, you can watch for them to pop up in PF, you can start your own PF, etc.

But ty
ionic elbow
I will try to find one then
simple shore
As a random piece of advice about maps
Typically they operate under one of two loot rules that the group agrees to. Either FFA (everyone can roll on everything), or Owner Need, Others Greed - meaning that whoevers map it is gets everything they want out of it
Make sure those rules are understood before starting
So there's no drama
simple shore
Both methods carry risks, unfortunately
FFA groups might have freeloaders who dont bring maps and then dip after a few
Owner groups might have someone try to take a particularly valuable item
lavish vortex
Hi! How does this work? My perception is 692 right now, and I’m getting a minimum of 30% increase every time, how do I get more?
simple shore
Its based on your perception vs. the level of the item, essentially
So you need alot more perception to increase the HQ higher than 30% on that item most likely
but if you were to go use it on some level 1 item it would probably go to 100%
zinc orbitBOT
simple shore
make sense?
lavish vortex
Oh, I see! Yeah! Makes sense, so it’s always intended to have a high level or RNG when you are gathering items that are around your level... kind of?
strange yarrow
Okay so it says I finished my lvl 50 black mage realm reborn quests and to advance I'll need heavens word, do I just buy that off steam?
I bought the $20 starter on steam
Currently
simple shore
You would need to buy Shadowbringers (which includes Heavensward and Stormblood as well)
and you would need to buy it from Steam since you are on a Steam account
Alternately
Wait until the 11th when the starter edition includes Heavensward
if you dont want to buy yet
quick notch
(you will need to complete the crystal tower in 5 day, yes i will never get tired of that)
simple shore
Thats not relevant to his specific question
wintry chasm
True but it's something to do if they decide to wait till the 11th or something
vivid wolf
are they removing crystal tower?
twilit arch
no
simple shore
On the contrary, they're making it required
vivid wolf
oh, no big deal
twilit arch
they're making it a requirement to the msq
wintry chasm
For main story
vivid wolf
good raid anyway

So I got a full set of the professional (ilvl 470) gear for DoL, I'm wondering whether a) it's worth it to get the level 80 accessories for the small (20+) gain in GP and b) what materia should I overmeld onto the gear if I'm using it for all three DoL?
agile laurel
well for a start don't overmeld DoH/L gear now
there's new gear coming in 5.3 in under a week
half kraken
Whaaa
copper pasture
im a dps lvl 20 should i solo PoTD
half kraken
I put in so much work to get the professional gear
agile laurel
soloing potd is not intended, and you basically need your aetherpool wep/armor considerably higher level
just queue up
half kraken
Is it confirmed that we'll get stronger DoL gear next patch
simple shore
POTD has its own levels based on what floor you're on more or less
half kraken
And will it be noticeably so
simple shore
@half kraken Yes
half kraken
Maybe it's just augmented professional gear? I hope?
half kraken
I don't want all those white scrips going to waste ugh
simple shore
Just like it was in 4.3
agile laurel
well look at it this way
do the dwarves quests quick
get prepped to make and sell the new gear
make fat stacks
proceed as you were
half kraken
I don't have any doh leveled lol
agile laurel
oops.
strange yarrow
Okay thanks a lot! I love the game so far and going to just buy all the expansions
twilit arch
you can still make money with the legendary nodes
since we're most likely getting new crafting materials
half kraken
Oh yeah now that I got my miner maxed what's the best way to earn gil with it atm
Fishing was a bust gil-wise
strange yarrow
I hit a major power spike at 50 cuz I got a set of 90ilvl gear from the class quest!
half kraken
Check out the ironworks gear at mor dhona too, those are ilvl 120, and fairly easy to get
vivid wolf
full ironworks shouldn't take long, like 2 days or so
lavish vortex
whats a good rotation to get 450 collectible items as a botanist? im having a hard time doing it. my GP is 615
warped nest
Upgrade to i120 Ironworks whenever you earn enough poetics for it
vivid wolf
should give plenty
warped nest
Correction: don't stop doing 
just so you can grind a full set of ironworks
vivid wolf
stopping msq is the worst thing you can do
unless you are really in a job slump and want to try something new
warped nest
i90 is definitely more than sufficient for the time being, definitely shoot for upgrading to i120/130 as you progress through your ARR msq, a full i130 augmented Ironworks will last you way into the Heavensward msq (around lvl 55 dungeon)
vivid wolf
it shouldnt take too long in HW msq to get the ilvl 133 gear
agile laurel
Farming unidentified items with no beast tribes unlocked - alex wing 1 spam or just spam aetherochemical for raw poetics?
vivid wolf
it's like lvl 54 msq
strange yarrow
Okay this is great I'll look at Ironworks. I got lvl 50 in under 2 days so idk how long until 70
If it's worth it to grind it at all. I just progressing in MSQ with food buff, FC xp buff, and road to 70 buff

i reinstalled my game in a ssd yesterday
and it keeps resetting all the changes i make in ganme
already needed to do that 6 times today
when i log in it seems that i never logged into the game before
simple shore
Sounds like the game is unable to write to the folders where the CHR stuff is saved to me
Do this
You need to locate where they are now. Given the problem, i suspect it may not be the default location.
simple shore
and you're certain THAT one is the one its using?
tepid flint
yes because i changed my settings and looked where it changed
tepid flint
it changes, but it makes a new folder in that old fodler
leaden ginkgo
I used a fantasia recenyly and does writing to a gm saying i was unhappy with the changes one time still work
tepid flint
for example if you make a new char it will save in into a new folder right
all the stuff you chosen and that
simple shore
Yes thats accurate
tepid flint
that it what happening to my settings
tepid flint
everytime i log in again it makes a new folder
exotic ridge
roughly how long does it take SQ support to answer an issue?
tepid flint
for new settings
simple shore
Are you logging into the same character?
tepid flint
yes
strange yarrow
man so confusing they need to make it easier to buy stuff, i purchased on steam shadowbringers, got my cd key and everything
client stil just shows i have realm reborn
no idea how to install or get access to shadowbringers
mossy kite
@exotic ridge I waited about 2-3 days earlier this week
simple shore
@tepid flint the folder names are, for lack of a better term, globally unique ID's for characters. It should be absolutely impossible for the same character to generate multiple folders with different names
exotic ridge
Ok ive bough the game but the MOG wont accept the reg code 😦
tepid flint
i have FFXIV CHR that ends with EE0B
faint flare
You need to actually register the code on Mogstation
simple shore
Okay
strange yarrow
where is mog station
tepid flint
another of the same char that ends with EE0C
simple shore
that should not be possible
tepid flint
and another that ends with EE01
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Its where you put the code in for the base game
simple shore
and came back and reinstalled i, months and months later
leaden ginkgo
Did they remove chat support btw?
strange yarrow
is that the ame for even steam
simple shore
and the folder names were the same
simple shore
that value is coming from teh FF14 servers, not local
strange yarrow
it should friggin say that
steam should tell you to go to the main website
it literally just sasy its auto been installed log in
Thank god for discord help 😄
tepid flint
so cant i just make a newe setting and see ehat the latest is and delete the rest?
leaden ginkgo
What is phone support? Just a call?
simple shore
that isnt at all how it should be working
I literally cant figure out your situation because it should be absolutely impossible
If you create a character, it should have the value that looks like FFXIV_CHR004000174AF764F3 (an example) for its entire lifespan, forever
and that value is coming from the FF14 servers, not from your local machine
Either something about your story is leaving something out, or you've found a VERY bizarre bug
simple shore
because a single character should NOT be generating new folders
tepid flint
i can see it i can send a picture of that
simple shore
and have you....deleted and remade it?
median locust
are any of your FFXIV folders in documents\my games set to read only?
gloomy mortar
How did I get an AUGMENTED Shire Glaves from a Retainer Quick Venture?

What you do in the game when you get the max gear? and if you're casual?
solemn delta
Level new jobs or crafts.
gloomy mortar
Is there a button to turn on and off music? Or do you have to go through the menus
strange coral
There's a command, /bgm, and you can make a macro for it
solemn delta
But you can't get max gear as a casual player.
icy quiver
Yeah, I mean the allegory ilvl gear
simple shore
@tepid flint Sorry for getting off track there - so, i admit im still direly curious about your problem (since it shouldnt be possible). The only feasible explanation i can think of still involves a lack of ability to write to that folder due to permissions, but even then the idea of the CHR# changing is baffling to me.
wintry chasm
You can get max ilvl as a casual player. Just in odd patches
icy quiver
I mean, what vet players do, if they have max level all classes and crafting
simple shore
Couldnt really tell you, since i dont play casually, tbh
upper mortar
Anyone know if the comcast connection errors have been resolved yet?
simple shore
chase glamours and cosmetics probably
gloomy mortar
No
strange coral
Gold saucer, farm cosmetics, help other people... or just take a break from the game, play something else
tepid flint
@simple shore i have exactly the same thing, i do not understand why thats happening, or why the game things i never logged in.
Could it be a case of that i changed it from HDD to SSD
simple shore
Well the CHR# shouldnt be able to change is my point. If i uninstall the game, quit for 3 years, and come back, my character will have the same CHR# that it did before
because its a unique identifier to that character coming from the FF14 servers
icy quiver
thanks for answers
tepid flint
its confusing
simple shore
Honestly if it isnt a permissions issue to the folder i cant think of what else it could be, and you might need to contact SE's support for it.
because the situation should be impossible
tepid flint
and if i out all the folders in the real game folder
strange yarrow
I got it figuredo ut thanks a lot guys. Never buyin an MMO through steam again lol
not intuitive...
tepid flint
or will i only be making it worse?
tepid flint
if i gonna put the document folder of tthe FFxiv to the game folder in the ssd folder
The HDD on into the SSD one
simple shore
I cant imagine that moving them is going to do anything, because the game is still going to think thats the target location
Unless.....wait a second.
You "moved it from HDD to SSD"
Exactly what did that entail
gloomy mortar
Is there a list of Fates that are the extra hard ones which drop items? How do you recognize them in game without googling every fate you come across?
tepid flint
what i did
simple shore
How did you go about doing that.
wanton cipher
What is a good healer to start and learn healing with?
median locust
White Mage
simple shore
WHM yeah, easier healer to learn on
tepid flint
it removing the cable of the HDD so it needed to start up on the SSD
wanton cipher
And that is unlocked behind what?
simple shore
wait what
tepid flint
indtalled it there and then put the HDD in work again
wanton cipher
Is it COnjurer 30?
solemn delta
Whm is very simply but very strong so I would go with that to start
faint flare
Conjuerer goes into white mage
median locust
yes
simple shore
Okay well at least you're telling me weird shit now, so the story starts to make more sense.
wanton cipher
ok ty
tepid flint
hahaha lol sorry @simple shore
simple shore
Okay and you're absolutely certain about that
tepid flint
yes
simple shore
Okay, next question
Where is the document folder in which you are seeing these where FFXIV_CHR folder duplicates
tepid flint
i changed it in the BIOS or something or how iuts called
simple shore
which drive
tepid flint
HDD onedrive
simple shore
ooooookay yeah this makes sense now
Final question which i am guessing i already know the answer to
tepid flint
so part of the game is on HDD and the other part is on SDD
simple shore
how did you move the FF14 install
wanton cipher
Where do i go to learn Conjurer O_O
tepid flint
to click C disk what is my SSD instead of E HDD
simple shore
Not what im asking
faint flare
Gridina for conjuerer

To be more specific it's in Old Gridania to the south west

im trying to find shadowbringers MSQ, and went to the rising stones to find tataru, but theyre not there, and in my recommended quests theres no MSQ's. anyone know how to find where i need to be going?
tepid flint
in deleted all the files of my HDD and reinstalled it on my SDD
wintry chasm
Have you reached far enough into main story to reach Shadowbringers?
faint flare
If your main scenario tracker isn't showing anything you've caught ip
simple shore
You manually deleted them?
wintry chasm
Also there is a main story tracker HUD section that tells you where the next quest is
faint flare
Follow your main scenario tracker
simple shore
did you move any manually?
jade zinc
oh that tracker is awesome. thanks!
wanton cipher
Oh man im so lost in this city
tepid flint
nope
simple shore
Okay so, something about this doesnt add up
You're booting to the SSD, and you say thats where you're OS is installed
tepid flint
yes
simple shore
and you say you did a fresh install of FF14
tepid flint
i reinstalled everything new on my SSD
simple shore
and it targetted the other drive
for the user data folders
That shouldnt have happened
Your user data should have gone into a Documents/My Games type folder structure on your SSD
the fact that its writing to the HDD at all tells me something is not correct
low swallow
when people say they want a "static for savages an extremes" what does that mean?

Will it be hard to do the MSQ as a healer?
steep heron
Not at all.

some of them were challenging for me ive done wm and astro but it was too bad if you have your companion

Why would it be hard you can heal yourself always
gloomy mortar
Yes if Castrum Meridian
low swallow
wasnt*
simple shore
That's blatantly false.
whole lagoon
Just start with scholar at least You'll have a dps and healer both
simple shore
There's no reason not to play White Mage.
MSQ is not hard
This isnt WoW where healers do no damage
In fact healers do better damage than tanks on average
steep heron
In certain Savage fights thats correct
simple shore
or when you solo doing MSQ....
gloomy mortar
Difficulty in MSQ depends on the tank. If constantly doing large pulls
steep heron
He means the story not the roulette
steep heron
I left the main channel to avoid the cringe posting
but its here too.
gloomy mortar
Castrum Meridian MSQ the tanks will pull an entire train. Hard for healers
simple shore
You are confusing this guy with incorrect info. Please just stop
whole lagoon
True as a tank realize my mistake when i tried healer
gloomy mortar
I’m correct
steep heron
For the third time. Story instances. Not the Roulette.
strange coral
The question was about the MSQ, not the MSQ roulette
median locust
They're talking about questing, you're talking about a roulette. You're correct but not answering the right question.
simple shore
Which is the same thing as being wrong
Guy wants to know if its hard to level as a healer
The answer is no
whole lagoon
Man this got confusing as heck
wanton cipher
@simple shore That simple lol
simple shore
Yes, that simple.
steep heron
Honestly Im just concerned the guy is getting the wrong answers.

Nothing about the story, be it quests or dungeons are hard

are those Blue quests important?
halcyon glen
Yes
gloomy mortar
Yes
whole lagoon
With plus sign one are
simple shore
For example - unlocking Leves is pretty unimportant and you can skip that
near gorge
oh sheet ... i went to level 50 without doing them ...
halcyon glen
That’s a big problem
steep heron
halcyon glen
Cause you’re missing half your buttons
simple shore
Unlocking optional dungeons is also fairly unimportant
But if you skipped doing your job quests? Thats a problem
halcyon glen
Go do job quests
wintry chasm
Also
near gorge
nono jobquests where the only one i did
whole lagoon
Man but some are super star fun
simple shore
If you did your job quests then you're fine
wintry chasm
Not really
halcyon glen
Are you at level 50 MSQ?
whole lagoon
Remember to do all primal hard quests
simple shore
Yes but when he said that he 'skipped all of them', well

yes i am
simple shore
some are more important than others, heh
wintry chasm
challenge log, raids, job quests, trial series
near gorge
cant progress cause im missing a blue quest
whole lagoon
Or youll get stuck at one msq
wintry chasm
that
halcyon glen
If you’re at 50 MSQ there’s two chains of blue quests that are utterly mandatory as of next patch
And the mount quest
simple shore
i see Needa is still trolling. this is fun.
halcyon glen
The one you’re encountering now is the Hard Primals
gloomy mortar
We told you to stop Bal
whole lagoon
Titan and garuda (hard) quest are mandatory
simple shore
Actually, just you did.
near gorge
yeah i need all 3 of them i guess
halcyon glen
That quest chain begins in the Waking Sands
However
More important imo
Is the Crystal Tower
Which begins in Mor Dhona
whole lagoon
Oh damn i haven't completed that yet level 67 now
simple shore
Yeah, Crystal Tower is going to be mandatory soon
halcyon glen
As of next Tuesday it will be mandatory to begin a level 50 MSQ
simple shore
and really, evne if it wasnt
halcyon glen
As well as a level 80 one
faint flare
Do that now/before Shadowbringers
simple shore
you should complete CT series before ShB
median locust
It's also pretty important for the Shadowbringers story
simple shore
because its.....extremely relevant to story
near gorge
guess im gonna do mostly blue quests for now
just rushing from city to city and unlocking stuff
whole lagoon
Oh i will then
remote lintel
you don't have to unlock the optional dungeons if you really don't want to but at least get the raids

Guy's where do i get more emotes i just have the basic ones
gloomy mortar
Buy them
remote lintel
msq
wintry chasm
Grand Company, mogstation, stuff like Heaven on High, main story, BLUE QUESTS
etc etc
remote lintel
blue quests
wintry chasm
a lot of ways
faint flare
Story, various currencies , beast tribes, etc
simple shore
Yeah, the optional dungeons, particularly in ARR, are largely irrelevant to the larger story. Only a few have any relevance - Tam Tara Hard has some relevance to POTD as probably the largest example.

Is there any website which shows all quest with emotes
halcyon glen
If memory serves the wall for CT in 2.X as of next patch is roughly 4-5 quests after the hard primals wall
simple shore
https://ffxivcollect.com/ is a good source for all things like that
whole lagoon
Oh thx gonna bookmark this
near gorge
it wont hurt doing all blue ones right?
gloomy mortar
No
halcyon glen
Nope
whole lagoon
Guys why dyes are pricey and which craft jobs crafts them
simple shore
Skip doing the "Leves of (Location Name)" ones
That's a total waste of time in ARR zones
wintry chasm
Some dyes aren't crafted
median locust
None of the craftable dyes are expensive
wintry chasm
making it expensive
simple shore
until you are doing crafters/gatherers
whole lagoon
Gunmetal and pearlwhite are craftable ?
simple shore
No
remote lintel
no
gloomy mortar
No
whole lagoon
remote lintel
gunmetal is from ishgard
median locust
Ishgard Restoration reward for Skybuilders Scrips
simple shore
Gunmetal and Pearl are from Ishgardian Restoration
wintry chasm
do the that unlock system stuff like "rising up to the challenge" and "beauty is only scalp deep" just so you've done it ("Rising up the Challenge is important though for leveling) and then generally do all the raids/trial series for an expansion and then move to the next expansion. That's just about my recommendation for blue quests as a baseline. There are a couple other I suggest doing but they are very specific @whole lagoon
remote lintel
oh yeah the trials
remote lintel
AND HILDIBRAMD
halcyon glen
This unlocks the true endgame
remote lintel
do hildy
halcyon glen
Fashion
near gorge
the "true" endgame xD
simple shore
...hildibrand can be done later, heh
halcyon glen
Yes
near gorge
i just want to get to max level for grinding those super hard dungeons
whole lagoon
Yeah i am doing the gentleman questline its funny AF
remote lintel
why put off such glorious content
simple shore
That entire questline is comedy and not particularly tied to the main story in any way
median locust
Basically Blue Quests always unlock something so you should do them if you like playing the game
and having more stuff to do
wintry chasm
Oh and the ability to glamour
Oh God yeah I forgot about that
whole lagoon
Glamour is life in this game
halcyon glen
And don’t fall 10 levels behind on job quests like I just did on SCH
median locust
may unlock an emote, glamour or a minion but it's a lot less common so I'd just recommend coming back later once you know which ones do
wintry chasm
Don't fall below a single level below
median locust
most are useless
remote lintel
or use the content unlock faq
halcyon glen
the most important minion in the game is a blue quest chain anyway
whole lagoon
Oh well what i do is level 50 the job then complete the job quest altogether
halcyon glen
Well two blue quest chains
remote lintel
median locust
it used to be a sidequest chain
halcyon glen
Of course I mean the great serpent
zinc orbitBOT
halcyon glen
Oh did that change to blue quest last patch?
wintry chasm
What change?
wintry chasm
Well the sidequest always started as a but yes
near gorge
is there a decent way to make a bit of gil at level 50 ?
median locust
Started as blue because it's an Aether Current but then it continued as yellow quests
near gorge
as a miner*
simple shore
Not particularly, tbh
median locust
now it's all blue
simple shore
Gold Ore is going to be teh best thing you can get that will sell
because its utilized in level 71+ crafts
gloomy mortar
Sell stuff on the Market Board
simple shore
But other than that, your options are quite limited
remote lintel
do the msq
wintry chasm
Gold Ore is going to be teh best thing you can get that will sell
ehhhhh
remote lintel
tbh
wintry chasm
Gold is super cheap
median locust
Silver ore is also used in a billion things, same for Effervescent Water
wintry chasm
Yes
near gorge
i dont want to make a ton of gil , just a bit so i can focus on other classes and buy a bit stuff out of auction house
wintry chasm
Silver is a decent low level craft and you can make that into high quality ingots for wayyyyyyyy more
than gold ore
halcyon glen
Blue quests also give Gil
near gorge
im happy about earning 100k gil thats more than i have had so far
simple shore
But he's talking purely miner
wintry chasm
also gold ore is limited time
gloomy mortar
MSQ roulette gives a lot of Gil
wintry chasm
so I say it's still bad
darksteel might be better even
but that's still time locked
I just really don't recommend gold
simple shore
Roulettes do not give an appreciable amount of gil
because it is scaled based on level
halcyon glen
Do roulettes on your combat jobs
simple shore
If you're 50, its not going to make you rich
wintry chasm
though you always want to check your market before gathering stuff
median locust
you can get a little gil if you do all your roulettes in a day.. but there's way more efficient ways to get gil yeah
gloomy mortar
Kill gigantoad/aldgoat, mine alumen, make toad leather, make ring, sell ring on mb for 15k
Do roulettes for money
simple shore
.....all of which assumes things he doesnt have unlocked
gloomy mortar
Get extra money from challenge log
simple shore
Challenge log is perhaps the worst source of money in the game.
median locust
1000 gil for 3 dungeons 
gloomy mortar
Challenge log resets every week so you can redo the same challenge for money 💡
simple shore
Still the worst way to make gil that exists.
wanton cipher
Hi im trying to remmeber how i go to POTD
remote lintel
quarrymill
gloomy mortar
Yep, challenge log is a good 50k/week 🍺

Hello, is 2.1 to 2.55 considered a "slump" in story ? Just entered 2.2 and its a bit of a downgrade from arr garuda to ending
simple shore
Among most people, yes
faint flare
Yes
open coral
Yeah
gloomy mortar
Yes
halcyon glen
2.1-2.2 certainly
simple shore
2.3+ gets better
halcyon glen
Less so 2.3-2.56
remote lintel
almost the entire ARR story is considered "ok"
limpid lantern
Ah so basically im at the worst part now
halcyon glen
It’s all uphill from there
limpid lantern
That kind of explains why im constantly drifting off to do side content
near gorge
are relic weapon quest worth starting at 50? just unlocked it
halcyon glen
But at least you get to fight based snek
limpid lantern
Instead of wanting to do msq to know more
near gorge
alright ty ^^
remote lintel
take your time woop
gloomy mortar
Gae Borg
near gorge
this community is so awesome xD
median locust
Old relic weapons are basically just really shiny weapons that take a lot of time to make
gloomy mortar
Thanks
median locust
not worth the time unless you really like how they look lol
wanton cipher
is it suposed to be long to find groups?
remote lintel
if you're dps yes
simple shore
Anything other than the current relic (i.e. the one at level 80 in ShB) is only going to be useful as a glamour.
halcyon glen
Depends on what content tho
limpid lantern
@remote lintel im going at my own pace ^^ but before 2.1 i was actually wanting to go further into msq but now its a bit of and on the msq
wanton cipher
for POTD
simple shore
Since it gets outclassed instantly by weapons from the next expansions content
near gorge
@wanton cipher u can increase ur time by go to dungeons search and change settings to all 4 languages
median locust
For PotD, outside of floors 51-60, that's normal
remote lintel
@limpid lantern it gets better at like 2.3 so you're almost there
limpid lantern
I just started 2.2 though
halcyon glen
Oh yeah PotD 1-50 is awful queues
remote lintel
I believe
simple shore
@near gorge if he's on Primal likes he's tagged as, he should only flag himself as English
halcyon glen
I gave up and threw out a party finder
simple shore
The "all languages" thing is pretty much a EU/JP DC thing
halcyon glen
For a 1-50 party
near gorge
i queued yesterday 55 minutes for a MSQ bossfight which took like 1 minute. then someone told me to change settings and it went down to 5 minutes the next one
simple shore
Well yeah. You're on EU, its different there
tidal yarrow
why doesn't he use true north?
simple shore
Primal is NA DC. No reason to have anything but english.
remote lintel
because he doesn't need to
median locust
Some bosses are omnidirectional
halcyon glen
That boss has no position als
median locust
If the circle is full and has no front arrow, all positionals work regardless of position
remote lintel
if the boss ring is bare all posotionals will hit
tidal yarrow
so every hit gives extra genki?
remote lintel
kenki?
remote lintel
yes
gloomy mortar
Yes
simple shore
Yes, bosses like that consider all attacks to satisfy any position requirements they might have.
remote lintel
usually happens when bosses are too big to fit the arena
tidal yarrow
If the circle is full and has no front arrow, all positionals work regardless of position
ahh, thx
simple shore
or when they're on the edge, such as Neo Exdeath
median locust
All mobs in PotD are like that too
latent prism
will they add crytalline augments to nuts in 5.3?
median locust
Yes, not the weapon one though
limpid lantern
@simple shore is the kraken from the hard satasha i think it was also omni directional then ?
simple shore
@limpid lantern if memory serves correctly, yes, that is omni as well
Been a long time since i did that one
latent prism
also, is the new alliance raid coin weekly capped?
median locust
You can see the front arrow so it's not
simple shore
It will be yes, Alice.
faint flare
Thats the one
simple shore
Home world transfer is the service.
halcyon glen
Transferring home world to one on a different DC moves to that DC
tidal yarrow
how this purple circles mechanic works?
halcyon glen
Teleports you to the other circle after a delay
open coral
point the one on the other end of the line to somewhere safe
median locust
The circle will always move in relation to where your character is facing
tidal yarrow
so they all want to teleport near each other?
median locust
so if it starts to your left, if you turn around, it stays to your left
faint flare
Its the same as normal mode how they work
halcyon glen
In that specific case it depends on tethers and stacks
wintry chasm
They all want to go somewhere specific depending on what bird ball you are tethered to
also what strat you actually use in your party
median locust
In Savage people teleport in a formation that looks like this (depends on the strat your party decides to use)
Depending on the tether they get
tidal yarrow
I've never done it in normal either
faint flare
Then better do normal
remote lintel
normal mode is fun
simple shore
In that case, you might want to figure out Normal first
wintry chasm
^
tidal yarrow
oh I see
wintry chasm
You're learning to run before you can walk
tidal yarrow
and yeye
wintry chasm
normal mode and savage mode will share mechanics a lot
and will help with understanding
open coral
Going into Savage without doing Normal first is... risky
wintry chasm
also impossible Aura xD
remote lintel
yeah
simple shore
Yes, impossible
open coral
^
That is a very good point
In which case I am now very confused how one could be in E7S without having done the same mechanic in E7N
tidal yarrow
yeah I agree, was just watching and I don't really understand everything that's going on
median locust
There are guides out for these kinds of fights if you're curious
Like Mizzteq's guides
remote lintel
mizzteq saves my life
tidal yarrow
I'll keep in mind!
median locust
Just remember that no matter how intimidating something looks, you're only doing 1/8 of that
simple shore
Mizzteq gets meme'd on alot, but they're very good videos for when you know absolutely nothing about the guide.
*fight
remote lintel
I heard mrhappy makes good ones too
median locust
They're longer and he rambles a bit iirc
open coral
MrHappy is like the FatBoss of FFXIV. He talks about a lot of stuff that's totally irrelevant in between talking about mechanics.
wintry chasm
Yeah I do think Mizzteq is easier to understand so I'd go with that
simple shore
Yes. He gives entirely too much exposition.
and uh
tbh i've always had a low opinion of him because of some stuff he did in the past
remote lintel
simple shore
Some of his older guides are just flat out wrong about how to do stuff
But you know, gotta get that content out first
median locust
I also recommend joonbob because his guides are absolutely amazing and extremely well edited. But he doesn't have guides for every fight, just a few
wintry chasm
I just removed that thumbnail because ||suggestive Ryne||
wanton cipher
Btw is there any goodpet class?
low sun
Does my Scholar job level automatically when I level Summoner as a side effect?
median locust
right, sorry, didn't think about that lol
open coral
The one thing I would recommend MrHappy for is if you're specifically looking for an in-depth analysis of anything.
simple shore
Scholar is the "pet class"
remote lintel
@low sun yes
wintry chasm
Summoner is a DPS pet job and Scholar is a healer pet job
wintry chasm
Both share levels so just go arcanist and unlock both
simple shore
ugh i cant type today worth shit i swear
low sun
So I can swap to Scholar fcor story dungeons for quicker invites? Wow thats nice
remote lintel
yes
open coral
Yep
wintry chasm
yes but it will use different gear compared to summoner
so you'd need to gear up twice basically
tidal yarrow
I also recommend joonbob because his guides are absolutely amazing and extremely well edited. But he doesn't have guides for every fight, just a few
thank you, I'm watching them later
simple shore
From 51 onwards you have to have "of Healing" gear for SCH, and "of Casting" gear for SMN
strange coral
And make sure to keep up on job quests for both so you aren't missing spells
low sun
Righto, thx everyone
nova umbra
what is higher than S rank?
remote lintel
@tidal yarrow don't watch that specific video if you haven't done the Eden raids because it has spoilers
open coral
Ehh, the gearing isn't that hard. Just use poetics for SCH, and MSQ gear for SMN.
simple shore
@nova umbra nothing
tidal yarrow
@tidal yarrow don't watch that specific video if you haven't done the Eden raids because it has spoilers
ah.. no I haven't done it yet
median locust
Shadowbringers areas have an SS-rank
simple shore
Oh i guess thats true. idk i never really differentiated them
open coral
The SS ranks are the zone bosses, right?
median locust
When you kill a ShB S-rank it might spawn 4 B-rank minions, that when killed spawn an SS-rank
remote lintel
I remember seeing that for the first time and being so confused
median locust
If by zone bosses you mean like, Formidable or Archaeotania, no, they count as fates
tidal yarrow
the timer starts at 90 minutes in those savage raids?
tidal yarrow
oh wow
remote lintel
there's a whole cutscene in the last Eden raid
median locust
Like E8 savage has its enrage at around 14 minutes into the fight
tidal yarrow
not sure if the one I sent ss before was 90 or 120 but these guys are pretty good and on 20min left rn..
simple shore
That's pretty typical for the final boss of each tier
especially because most of them have multiple phases as seperate fights
open coral
During progression, teams will spend the full 90-120 minutes multiple times before they clear.
open coral
I heard nightmare rumours about Godka
median locust
Oh yeah you can't clear harder Savage fights in one lockout.
tidal yarrow
it really takes practice I see
open coral
Never did the fight myself, though
simple shore
God Kefka was pretty fun back in the day
open coral
Yes, Savage raiding is a commitment
simple shore
More fun than Neo Exdeath. Neo Exdeath was far worse imo
simple shore
in terms of like....just annoying RNG fuckery
remote lintel
if you have more than 3 deaths in a savage fight you're unlikely to clear it at all
open coral
You need to have patience and be willing to commit the time to clearing it. It's not something that you can expect to go in and clear in one or two runs.
median locust
depends on the fight and the amount of gear you have
remote lintel
well yeah
median locust
if you're all in best in slot you could probably kill E5S with 15 deaths
remote lintel
we aren't
simple shore
also, just to comment on that
remote lintel
the point is there's a heavy dps check
median locust
I can see that, lol
tidal yarrow
the point is there's a heavy dps check
I heard of it
how do you know if your team is doing enough?
simple shore
ACT is pretty much the only 'real' way to know
median locust
the boss instantly kills your entire party when you take too long to kill him
median locust
if you wanna know who is underperforming, then yeah, ACT's the only way
unless you see, like, your healers standing around doing nothing instead of DPSing
but it's not always that obvious
tidal yarrow
as of now I'm always focused so much on myself I don't see what others are doing ngl
limpid lantern
I just realised, alphinauds sister didnt came back at all during ARR right ?
median locust
been raiding for years and I'm still like that for the most part
limpid lantern
Or did i miss something
wintry chasm
||She is in coils|| Woop
faint flare
Shes doing something else
wintry chasm
||literally the main character in coils||
limpid lantern
Is the raids ARR content ? Ilvl and gear wise ?
simple shore
Yes
median locust
Yes but they're basically old Savage fights even if they don't say savage
So you should go in there with a level 80 or two to carry you
simple shore
Some of the fights are hard to solo even at 80.
median locust
You'll never find anyone queueing for them
limpid lantern
Ill see if i can find peolle at some time
simple shore
Yes
median locust
you can solo it but like
simple shore
You have to kill the boss before you get hit with 2 iceballs
So basically 40%-Dead in about 3-4 seconds
Around 14-15k DPS. Its not a terrible bar to hit, but if you're not 80 and in like 480-ish ilvl, on a DPS job, you arent solo'ing that
median locust
you have to get her to 48%, wait until she starts casting the second tower, then burst her down before she's done
oblique forum
Is there a compressed archive of "The FINAL FANTASY XIV fan kit" available anywhere?
median locust
if you do that it's not too hard, but you gotta know
ionic elbow
What is the ilevel for 5.3 ? I'm currently at 481
median locust
max is 500 but only if you do savage
simple shore
there isnt really one?
median locust
without savage, 490
simple shore
The ilvl requirement for 24 mans is pretty low usually
median locust
you don't need max for anything though
simple shore
so you should be fine
median locust
480 you can do everything and anything with
halcyon glen
Expected minimum for the story is 450-460
ionic elbow
So I shouldn't farm for 490 ?
wintry chasm
Yeah you should have enough for the 24-man probably not the new trial EX though?
median locust
You should cause why not
wintry chasm
but you'd be close for the EX if you don't meet it
ionic elbow
Well
median locust
doing more damage and being tankier is nice
wintry chasm
^
ionic elbow
The learning parties are low
Currently I have the relic weapon .. so If I will do savage it would be for gear
ionic elbow
So I should try savage then ?
agile laurel
if not 10 or so lower, that sounds reasonable
median locust
If you want to
forest laurel
if you want to then do it
median locust
It's not mandatory
halcyon glen
I plan to 480 my way through for a while
limpid lantern
Is there a lvl 60 version of ironworks ?
halcyon glen
Shire
median locust
Yes, Shire
limpid lantern
When will it be availeble ?
median locust
You can buy it in Idyllshire when you get there in the story
remote lintel
@ionic elbow you can do memoria misera EX to ease yourself into endgame content before savage
limpid lantern
Msq wisr
halcyon glen
Level 58-59 MSQ
remote lintel
like lvl 58
limpid lantern
Thats end HW right
ionic elbow
I heard its easier than savage and hades right ?
halcyon glen
Aye
remote lintel
easier than savage yes Hama
rich bay
@limpid lantern
In the L58 MSQ A Great New Nation

I might give it a try
limpid lantern
Hmm um already 58.5 and im only in 2.2

What ilevel gear does it drop ?
limpid lantern
What ilvl is the shire ?
