Select your reward

silver dome
#

... I'm dumb, thank you. didn't notice.

fallen lotus
#

hmm how often do you use bene in trials? 🤔 from what i see i'm maybe too panic about it and sometimes i just waste it by not using it

#

i mean, sometimes i remember about it when i see that one of tanks is near death but only sometimes

unique oasis
#

often

fallen lotus
#

primarly i use buuble and assize (best spell, prove me wrong) and shield from oGCD

unique oasis
#

you'll be catching most residual dps with aoe heals and regens and spending most of your gcds doing your dps abilities

fallen lotus
#

and little bene that i never remember name but it's okey beacuse short CD

unique oasis
#

so when someone gets hit by a mechanic or a tank drops really low after an unmitigated or vulned buster, you're gonna want it then

#

if you're low level, most of the people you're playing with are synced from higher gear, and know the fights, so they're not making enough mistakes for you to feel like you need it, yet

fallen lotus
#

well mostly time i just use oGCD + lily spells (cure 2 only in emergency and cure 3 in stack mechanic)

unique oasis
#

but as you begin to catch up and do more on-content trials and raids you'll discover the use real soon

west spruce
#

Try pug savage if you want to bene a lot

unique oasis
#

even in static savage you'll still get a bunch of use out of it while progging for example

fallen lotus
#

well yesterday we failed to do normal eden titan, so thanks but not

unique oasis
#

maybe if you're godlike players on farm you wont use it as much but yeah

#

it's one of your best tools

fallen lotus
#

i could save with LB3 but i was blind about it xD (i mean i always see LB as just DPS free estate)

#

xD

unique oasis
#

also if a dark knight basically ever uses living dead

obsidian patio
#

Unless I’m planning to use Benediction to deal with DRK/WAR tank immunity, I generally just treat it as a really big cure 2

fallen lotus
#

well, and from what i see from recording, it's good idea to apply regen to people when doing fight mechanic?

#

most time i just use DoT beacuse i can't focus in targeting members when i try to avoid things

west spruce
#

Medica 2 yes, regen no

elder sinew
#

Is block rate better than block str for tanking?

keen fable
#

can guilds be across worlds?

fallen lotus
#

i mean, medica 2 have cast time

#

and when i avoid mechanic i mean when i'm running from orange zones/lava/toxic/black holes/and other bad floors

unique oasis
#

while you're forced to be moving, yeah, throwing down an instant like regen or solace is fine

#

ideally assize if its gonna hit the boss

#

but yes, better to do that to keep your gcd rolling cause doing anything is better than doing nothing

Regarding my Steam-Mac-question, I've made a discovery that eases my mind a bit: I bought Shadowlands for Mac, it includes everything. I paid 19.99€ for it and 30 days of general game time has been added to my account. So I lost 5€ to play on Mac after all. This is weird, but fine.

limpid rivet
#

Hey, lost all my hotbar setups on controller for my crafting. Any 5.3 ready crafters on controller mind showing me a screenshot of their bar setups? I'm loathe to try to replug everything from memory

obsidian patio
#

@elder sinew doesn’t really matter, shields will eventually have equal amounts of both. Just make sure you’re wearing whatever has a higher item level

fallen lotus
#

anyway in your opinion what is better target to swiftcast rez in situation when : There is Me(healer), One tank, Two DPS and all other party member are dead

#

i rez usually healer beacuse he can rez too

#

but what do you think?

unique oasis
#

yes

#

other healer

(sorry, I've hit Enter too fast. My comment regarding this is 4 messages further) :/

elder sinew
#

Sounds good, thx

fallen lotus
#

(and when there is caster dps i rez him before others dps beacuse he can rez too xD)

young fjord
#

Red mage if you have, otherwise other healer

frosty atlas
#

Now I have to buy SB on steam, but Id need to do this anyway

unique oasis
#

if you're 100% confident you can solo heal for longer and there's a red mage whos willing to chain multiple rezes it could be better to do that as they can res like 2 or 3 more in quick succession if they mp pot and lucid when they get up

#

but thats edge case

#

99% of the time just rez the other healer

#

the other time i dont rez the other healer is if there's no tank alive and that means we're gonna astart dying to auto attacks

#

and in which situation that im confident i can roll solo for longer

#

cause in most cases the other healer can just get the tank after they get up

#

so it's an assessment of how fast you need that

fallen lotus
#

okey, so another question, how to wave bubble? i mean i just need to practice it or use macro to apply in location of target?

#

i always fck GCD when i use it

unique oasis
#

i have no idea what that means

obsidian patio
#

Asylum?

unique oasis
#

oh, weave?

fallen lotus
#

Asylum

unique oasis
#

you have enough time, so just practice

#

macro will always clip gcd

#

never macro any abilities basically ever

obsidian patio
#

Ehh, asylum and other ground based aoes are exceptions for controller players, due to how stuff like that is placed based on camera

unique oasis
#

including rez macros, stop using one. content that you dont use voice chat in isn't hard enough to matter if you accidentally stack rezes with someone. content where it would matter and could cost you is like savages and extremes which you ideally wanna be on voice anyway if you ask me

#

but thats a more controversial opinion

fallen lotus
#

i mean, macro that just use asylum in target location nothing more automatic is bad too?

unique oasis
#

so you know how you can press your next gcd before the current gcd cooldown is over and itll roll smoothly into the next ability?

#

macros break the gcd queueing

obsidian patio
#

An example macro for ground-based target stuff would be this.

/ac "Asylum" <t>
/ac "Asylum"
/micon "Asylum"
/ac "Sacred Soil" <t>
/ac "Sacred Soil"
/micon "Sacred Soil"
unique oasis
#

which means you clip the gcd, a loss of uptime

#

i don't use macros of that sort, personally

obsidian patio
#

And sometimes the time it takes for a player to aim it at a person can take just as long or even longer.

fallen lotus
#

i mean, i break it even when i click (for example) Dia > Asylum(Macro) (in 0.7 after Dia) > Glare?

unique oasis
#

why is assize on a macro?

fallen lotus
#

Tfu, Asylum*

#

xD

unique oasis
#

dia assize shouldnt be a macro

#

oh i get it

#

yeah that macro will probably cause an issue, cause itll prevent glare from rolling over smoothly

keen fable
#

How much are server transfers, and can they transfer across data centers?

unique oasis
#

it'll stutter the gcd between the macro ending and the glare starting, that glare won't be "queued"

#

i'm pretty sure even if the ability is an ogcd

#

it messes with the gcd queueing

fallen lotus
#

so even if macro doesn't havy any <wait> it still blocks gcd for more than 0.7 of normal animation? huh

unique oasis
#

cause for example its common for ast players to want to use card macros and those are all ogcds and they still cause problems

#

and aren't recommended

#

its not that it blocks the gcd necessarily

#

cast 2 cure IIs on yourself right now if you're in game

oak ice
#

@keen fable $18 and yes

unique oasis
#

notice you can press the second Cure II before the global cooldown is done cooling down, and that it will auto cast at the first instant

little swift
#

!faq macrogcd

zinc orbitBOT
unique oasis
#

macros interrupt that functionality

little swift
#

thats what kawa is referring to

fallen lotus
#

if you mean quene of skills well it's not like 0.5 before skill?

keen fable
#

@oak ice ty

little swift
#

that said macros are not the end of the world if you want to use them

#

the idea here is that they do not queue

#

which means they are more likely to misfire

#

and whne the misfire

#

you miss your gcd roll as well

thorny dove
#

Are there no new GNB wep skins from the primals?

unique oasis
#

I will admit that my "absolutely no macros ever ever ever ever ever" mindset might be a liiiiiiiiittle extreme

fallen lotus
#

and when ideally used asylum you have something like (for 2.6 GCD) still 1.2 sec for click next GCD? 🤔 (beacuse subtrack 1.4 for animations of prev GCD + Asylum)

unique oasis
#

it doesn't really matter how much time you have left over

#

its not that the macro takes up more of the time

fallen lotus
#

so in more practical you could waste 0.6 sec after GCD and 0.6 sec before next gcd

unique oasis
#

it's that it literally breaks the queueing

little swift
#

watch the clip in the faq edam

unique oasis
#

so its like the game can't assume you're free to cast at the end of the gcd, but rather instead the server has to wait to make sure your macro is cleared and that means waiting until the gcd ends

#

or something

oak ice
#

@thorny dove no, no dancer or gunbreaker weapons

unique oasis
#

i might have the actual specifics of how it's engineered wrong but the point is that it isn't really about the timer of the cooldown but rather the mechanic of the buffered queueing of gcd abilities

thorny dove
#

QQ

oak ice
#

I'm assuming because they don't have regular weapon drops in those trials

thorny dove
#

They didn't have it in Shinryu either

oak ice
#

Then they must have gotten lazy

fallen lotus
#

oh okey so tl;dr even if you had 10 sec GCD it just works that even one macro oGCD in between GCD disable queueing until GCD regen?

unique oasis
#

yes

fallen lotus
#

oh, so that's bad :/ i thought that it only bugs when you want to use macro

#

not skill after macro

little swift
#

it doesn't disable gcd queuing though

#

its the macros themselves that are incapable of queuing

#

which can cause clipping

#

which is a different thing altogether

unique oasis
#

then why is it still a problem when the macro only contains an ogcd?

#

cause it still messes with it doesn't it?

#

in his question, the ability is only an ogcd

little swift
#

because macros attempt to read the whole thing at once

fallen lotus
#

okey, just to be sure. I want (maybe not but just thinking about it) to macro 1 oGCD skill not GCD

little swift
#

1 line/frame

#

so theoretically if you were doing something else

#

during that time the macro is being executed

#

it could fail

#

meaning the macro doesn't go off and nothing happens

#

and macro ogcds it really depends on what it is

unique oasis
#

ah

little swift
#

for some there's really no point

green grail
#

making a macro for one ogcd is fine, but put 15 lines of it

fallen lotus
#

so it would be like that GCD > Macro(just one oGCD with <t>) > GCD

unique oasis
#

yeah idk i just have a deep distrust of them

#

i had a rez macro for a bit and it often failed and made me waste gcds by pausing to make sure it went off anyway and it just became a thorn in my side so i dropped it

little swift
#

thats the thing though

#

raises are on the GCD

unique oasis
#

i figure if it matters enough, then its savage or extreme or something and im on voice chat and can call out my rezes. otherwise its not hard enough content to care if i overlap my rez with someone else

little swift
#

swiftcast raise is a bad macro

raven crown
#

I've just been doing MSQ and each duty once. I just got to a point where I'm 47.2 and I need to be 49 to get the next MSQ. What do you recommend for quick leveling?

unique oasis
#

swiftcast raise is a bad macro
@little swift agreed, and i think i covered why

little swift
#

@fallen lotus here's an example of a macro i use pretty frequently

#

even in savage raids

quasi widget
#

@raven crown leveling roulette

little swift
#

you attempt to mitigate teh queuing issues it has by making the macro ready all the lines

quasi widget
#

if you've done it, do a couple runs of the previous dungeon

little swift
#

increasing the chance it goes off

raven crown
#

ty

fallen lotus
#

okeeey, so i think that i will change flexible but needed to click Asylum to Asylum <t> and it will be fine

#

i mean, if there is no problem that this is macro it's okey

little swift
#

if you're on kbm

#

i'd encourage manually placement of asylum

unique oasis
#

^^^

little swift
#

but i get lazy with it too sometimes and i get it

raven crown
#

do ineed to concern myself with my right side stuff being low level?

unique oasis
#

same with soil and star

fallen lotus
#

beacuse in fight you always wanna to target someone with it, and maybe in later part of keyboard have manual assylum for special situation?

oak ice
#

Not particularily, they are pretty bad until 50

quasi widget
#

might want to buy accessories at 50

little swift
#

it'll be easier to get accessories once you finish level 50

unique oasis
#

what do you mean you always wanna target someone with it?

#

here's an example of when you don't

fallen lotus
#

for example just use it for place where is tank

unique oasis
#

Eden Fulmination Savage: Fury's Fourteen. Sometimes I place the earthy star (in my case, as AST), on the edge of the arena where we're about to get knocked back to, but I place it while we're all lined up in the middle before the knockback happens

#

basically i'm putting at an imminent, future destination, where nobody is yet

#

I imagine I might do this with soil or asylum maybe, though probably much more last second as i don't want to waste it's duration due to how different it is than star

thorny dove
#

Where to buy new custom delivery turn in mats?

unique oasis
#

maybe not the greatest example for asylum or soil but the point is i can think of situations where you might put it somewhere where yo u're going to be in like the next 1-2 seconds instead of where you are right now, but doing it in advance is worthwhile

raven glen
unique oasis
#

or even placing it ahead of the group while you're all running to a safespot

fallen lotus
#

Gladiator

unique oasis
#

etc

raven glen
#

alright

unique oasis
#

marauder is a tank too

fallen lotus
#

and maruder

little swift
#

my static AST tends to put it after we get knocked

#

since the boss needs to be repositioned anyways

slate arrow
#

@raven crown yes

unique oasis
#

i'm not really optimal or anything

#

so idk

#

thats probably better

sage plaza
#

I've just been doing MSQ and each duty once. I just got to a point where I'm 47.2 and I need to be 49 to get the next MSQ. What do you recommend for quick leveling?
@raven crown wait a day and do a roulette

unique oasis
#

im not really here to discuss if my example was the best way or not i guess i'm just saying there can be situations where its workable to place something where you aren't yet but will be soon

#

and for that reason, manual placement is the best way to go and to be used to using the skill, rather than macro on <t>

little swift
#

placing it on the tank isn't always optimal as well depending on size of boss

#

your party might not be standing there

unique oasis
#

my group tends to stay bunched up a little bit on the edge after the 14 knockbacks before moving back to center

elder sinew
#

How do you go about finding this guy for the quest? Journal isnt helping nor the map

unique oasis
#

and for earthly star which really only has its one moment where it pops, rather than a duration of healing like soil and asylum,

#

it can work in that particular moment

fallen lotus
#

welp, so i will need to just click faster for ground XD from one side you have 2.4~2.6 sec is normal time for reaction, so i need just to git gud

unique oasis
#

put it this way edam

#

if you're unfamiliar with AST, even their main damage skill, with a cast bar, that isn't an instant

#

malefic II

#

has room for 1 weave

little swift
#

remember your mouse doesn't always have to be clicked edam

unique oasis
#

between casts

#

and i regularly place my earthly star, a manually ground target aoe

little swift
#

you can have it hovering the area you want to drop the circle onto

fallen lotus
#

you don't need to click mouse for ground spells?

unique oasis
#

during that window, without clipping my gcd

#

i do click the mouse

little swift
#

you do need to click to drop it

unique oasis
#

i press 3 and click

little swift
#

the point here is that you don't have to always have your mouse in a certain space, it can be free from constant camera control

fallen lotus
#

aaaah i mean i just use Keyboard Button > Hover mouse over area > Click Left button

little swift
#

to line up your ground target placement before you need it

unique oasis
#

when i do this particular weave i put my mouse where im gonna drop the star during the cast bar of the first malefic, and im mashing 3 and clicking and as soon as i see the malefic castbar end i know my star's going down cause its queued, so i'm then mashing "1" again, my button for my next malefic

little swift
#

your mouse can be hovered there before you need it

unique oasis
#

works every time

fallen lotus
#

but most time i non stop hold right button to camera control xD

little swift
#

but most time i non stop hold right button to camera control xD
@fallen lotus thats exactly what i'm telling you you don't need to do

thorny dove
#

Does anyone know where to get the materials for the new custom delivery?

fallen lotus
#

so i need to learn to operate with more static camera, yeah?

unique oasis
#

its almost like pre-aiming a corner when you're moving in an fps. you dont have to "aim" cause your crosshair is already at head level and where the enemy would be, if an enemy is gonna be there

#

same idea, when you know your next weave will be the ground aoe, start moving your cursor well ahead of time, during the prior gcd

little swift
#

only really move the camera when you need to tbh

oak ice
#

For the gathering ones you can right click them and search

little swift
#

the crafting ones you can right click for raw materials list as well

#

lots of them use the same materials as before

oak ice
#

Haven't done the crafter ones, but a merchant close by, I assume

fallen lotus
little swift
#

@oak ice they're literally the same materials you would have used before. the item that you make now is just a specific collectable based thing

oak ice
#

Oh

little swift
#

yeah i checked earlier today, things like rarified syrup is just the materials for cunning craftsmans syrup

#

same ratio too

fallen lotus
#

Anyway you recommend to use F1-F8 to target members?

little swift
#

i use my mmo mouse buttons for that

fallen lotus
#

or clicking them is okey? i mean i use mouse only for ground control, eventually sometimes if i need to read mana cost etc. and member targeting

little swift
#

or again practice less right click camera movement

#

and click the party list

#

that works too

fallen lotus
#

well, for now i click party list but idk. About mouse i eventually will buy something with more buttons but for now i have only standard 3

#

Hmmm, but with more static camera you need to change movement system yeah? i mean for now i have this standard

#

where S is backwalk, and AD is strafe

little swift
#

mmo mouse is optional

#

i use legacy movement but standard is fine

#

just adjust the camera when you need to move

thorny dove
#

I can't find the vendor for the stuff for custom delivery 😐

little swift
#

which custom delivery

#

collectables use regular materials

thorny dove
#

the new one

little swift
#

its down some stairs

#

npc is anna

raven glen
#

do you guys recommend controller or MnK for the game ?

little swift
#

both are fine

#

whatever you like more

fallen lotus
#

either are fine

thorny dove
#

Thank you

raven glen
#

thanks guess i will go controller for convenience

fallen lotus
#

for me keyboard is better but if you play many games with controller i think it will work more fine for you

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey all

#

I'm installing the game to give the free trial a go. I come from Moonguard RP server on WoW. I see the 2 RP servers are completely full on FFXIV (north america). Is there a 3rd best choice, or is anything on Crystal OK?

fallen lotus
#

well you can always

#

just visit other server when you are in same DC

#

you stay on visited server even when you log off

leaden ginkgo
#

Does that impact anything?

fallen lotus
#

if i remember correctly

#

servers are more like instances of overworld

#

you still can do instances with other servers in same DC

white ether
#

Hey whatever happened to alpenunds sister?

#

She just kinda disappeared after a few missions

fallen lotus
#

(and visit them so you know). Oh but guild and markets are limiteded when cross servers if i remember correctly

leaden ginkgo
#

I get that, but what I'm asking is that if I'm on Crystal (where the 2 main RP servers are, apparently) does my choice of server matter?

#

Ah okay

#

Are there any RPers who can comment on 3rd best choice then?

twilit abyss
#

can trial players join an FC?

fallen lotus
#

hmm no? but maybe they changed it

stray holly
#

Is there a way to get better AA, more clear picture on forestation, and perhaps even a filter to make it like different? I love the game but I feel a few background things needs to be a little different

candid raptor
#

@leaden ginkgo you can wait until restriction is lifted, usually latenight /early morning

thorny dove
#

@leaden ginkgo If you want a consistent community of RPers that will have extensive longer term RP, you should try and get on those 2 servers, being in an FC helps loads

leaden ginkgo
#

What's an FC?

candid raptor
#

Free company

fallen lotus
#

free company (guilds)

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah okay

#

So I should wait until I can get on Mateus then?

#

What stats order do I meld my crafting gear?

raven crown
leaden ginkgo
#

Daily Reset

raven crown
#

when's that

leaden ginkgo
#

In 7 hours

raven crown
#

ty

warped nest
#

What stats order do I meld my crafting gear?
@leaden ginkgo craftmanship and control to hit a threshold, then as many Control / CP

remote lintel
#

do the replayable class quests include job quests or just the class quests

candid raptor
#

Class is class

#

Job is different

remote lintel
#

yes

#

does it include the job quests or not

leaden ginkgo
#

is Cure III overall considered better than Medica I ?

candid raptor
#

I mean they're replayable CLASS quests so

raven crown
#

is there a way to set hot bars to only show when cursor is hovering over them?

warped nest
#

@leaden ginkgo cure III has limited range

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok what about Healing gear?

warped nest
#

@raven crown probably no

leaden ginkgo
#

What do I meld?

warped nest
#

@leaden ginkgo it depends on the job

#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
#

AST

warped nest
#

Check here for meld priority

raven crown
#

ty

candid raptor
#

Visit the balance for melds yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

medica feels more of a raid skill

candid raptor
#

? They both are used for raid healing, just different types of

little swift
#

cure 3 has more usage in situations where people are nicely stacked together because it has less range

leaden ginkgo
#

that medica cast time though

little swift
#

the one interesting thing is you don't have to click off the boss to use if your party is stacked close

leaden ginkgo
#

I struggle

warped nest
#

That's not an issue with Medica

little swift
#

medica ii over medica anyways if the regen isn't up

warped nest
#

Medica II: I need to group heal a lot, but I don't need it to happen right now
Medica: group heal right now, and I might need to redo this
Cure III: same deal as above, but my group are nice packed, and I get to heal more

leaden ginkgo
#

what's the overall recommended method to target my allies?

#

mouse over party tiles?

candid raptor
#

The one that is easiest for you

warped nest
#

Whatev floats your boat

little swift
#

F1 to f8 also work

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a way to macro Earth 2 to target my target's target?

candid raptor
#

Tbh the times you're going to single target heal as a whm outside of benediction are next to nonexistent

little swift
#

Earth 2?

candid raptor
#

Stone 2 obvs

leaden ginkgo
#

err

#

Stone II

little swift
#

Just press t to retarget your targets target

#

Don't macro gcds

#

!faq macrogcd

zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
#

it's not a sequence

#

just quality of life so I can keep my ally targetted

candid raptor
#

You don't need to keep any ally targeted

slate crow
#

Can ||Ala Mhigan Quarter|| he reached as soon as you reach that Zone?

little swift
#

There's very little reason you need to permanently keep your ally targeted

#

Set them as a focus target instead

#

Iirc not right away

slate crow
#

I have a friend that flies me around to Aether Currents and might try to get that aetheryte if I can.

little swift
#

You can probably fly over the walls

#

But I cant recall if you can get the aetheryte that way

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a way to link a HUD layout with a job or gear set?

patent swift
#

are unreal trials suppose to be harder than extreme or harder than normal?

little swift
#

You can probably set a macro that puts both commands in

leaden ginkgo
#

sorry for asking so much, I just started with the healing job, the role is completely different from tank or dps

little swift
#
/gs change 6```
#

Or something like thaf

candid raptor
#

Unreals are simply lvl 80 of the old extreme. Not that difficult

leaden ginkgo
#

oh, I'll try that, thank you

little swift
#

Unreals are upscaled

#

No new mechanics

patent swift
#

just wanted to clarify if the mechanics were for normal or extreme

#

thank you :)

little swift
#

sorry for asking so much, I just started with the healing job, the role is completely different from tank or dps
@leaden ginkgo ask away thats the point of this channel. Healer is a bit more micromanagement but you'll be ok

leaden ginkgo
#

the macro you shared works wonders, thanks again!

gloomy mortar

The Patch Notes say that virtually all 'Wolf' items were removed from the recipe list. Does anyone know the reason? Were people just not using or selling it?

heady knot
#

does the patch change much for early levels

quasi widget
#

a good chunk of quests were compressed together or removed

#

and shortened

heady knot
#

ok

obsidian patio
#

@gloomy mortar they were basically useless i50 gear.

#

They used to have a stat specific to PVP but that was removed long ago.

magic light
#

there's no update for ACT yet, right?

gloomy mortar
#

"Collectable Synthesis" was removed according to the patch notes. What was it replaced by?

#

"Armor coffers obtained from level 60 job quests will now yield upgraded gear." I have a few armor coffers that I've never opened, because when I got them, I was already way above Level 60 and I didn't have the inventory space. If I opened them now, would they produce the old or new gear?

candid raptor
#

No idea, probably new

elder sinew
#

Where do you go to start Grand Company quest & the chocobo? Level 33 and havent reached it yet lol

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a limit(per day) on getting Faire Voucher

oak ice
#

It's a level 20 MSQ

#

And no idea

elder sinew
#

So I should've gotten it already

oak ice
#

What is your msq level?

elder sinew
#

Oh nvm, lvl 17 apparently

green grail
#

no @leaden ginkgo

elder sinew
#

Wow, this new lvling is insane

oak ice
#

Road to 70 buff is huge, yes

leaden ginkgo
#

@green grail Thanks

obsidian patio
#

@gloomy mortar nothing. You now craft specific items that automatically become collectables to turn in at the House of Splendors

candid raptor
#

Your character level means fuck all, just focus on msq @elder sinew 99% of stuff is msq locked

obsidian patio
#

They’re the “Rarefied” items in the “collectables” section of the crafting log

elder sinew
#

Oh, I'm trying to unlock all the blue quest stuff also

candid raptor
#

Good habit

obsidian patio
#

As for the treasure coffer, it should give the upgraded stuff, though I can’t tell you for sure.

stuck minnow
#

is the summer event out yet ?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

stuck minnow
#

ty

elder sinew
quasi widget
#

its your threat level

#

red means its targeting you, orange means its close, etc

little swift
#

Red square means its aggroed to you

elder sinew
#

Ah ok

little swift
#

Green circle means its not

elder sinew
#

That's useful, playing a tank lol

stuck minnow
#

where do you go to start the moonlight faire stuff?

leaden ginkgo
#

limsa

quasi widget
#

limsa lominsa

#

aftcastle

slate crow
#

Where can I read about that?

leaden ginkgo
#

friends moonfire quest wont complete when she does the fate, why?

obsidian patio
stuck minnow
#

is the starting quest a fish to far?

leaden ginkgo
#

yep

limpid lantern
#

Is the road to 70 buff finite ?

#

Someone in my fc says it goes away after a month

green grail
#

it stays for 90 days from character creation or as long as the server is preferred

oak ice
#

90 days or server loses preferred status, whichever lasts the longest

limpid lantern
#

So for example if the current server stays for 120 days i will havr it for 120

oak ice
#

Yes

quasi widget
#

until 70

#

hehe

limpid lantern
#

So 90 days minimum

obsidian patio
#

Yes

green grail
#

no, it's active on all jobs under lvl 70

oak ice
#

Yes, every class under 70

gloomy mortar
#

Dark Kight: "Flood of Shadow Duration of effect reducing target's HP recovered by healing actions has been increased from 6 to 10 seconds."
What does that mean? Flood of Shadow is basically an AOE attack. What does healing have to do with it?

quasi widget
#

in pvp it reduces healing

#

iirc

green grail
#

yeah sounds like a pvp change

obsidian patio
#

The PVP version reduces how effective healing spells/potions are on that target

gloomy mortar
#

Ah... cactuar

little swift
#

That's a nerf too

green grail
#

increased from 6 to 10s a nerf? pepethink

little swift
#

Nah the power

#

20% to 10%

green grail
#

fair

pearl wharf
#

uuuuuuuuuuuh

#

i guess i just simply bypassed 1 and 2

oak ice
#

Yes

#

Lots of beast tribes do that

pearl wharf
#

first ive seen it

#

or noticed it

#

also

obsidian patio
#

All the expansion tribes start at 3

pearl wharf
#

also to my question earlier
where would ryne be AFTER 5.3

obsidian patio
#

Only ARR tribes start at 1

quasi widget
#

afaik she's not anywhere. might hang around after the end of 5.4 eden

gloomy mortar
#

How do aquariums work? If you catch a fish, can you put it in an aquarium?

#

New chapters have been added to New Game+.
Disciple of the Hand Quests
Carpenter - Part 1 Carpenter - Part 2 Carpenter - Part 3

#

So does that mean if I already completed the Carpenter quest to completion, I have to do a new game to see the new quests?

oak ice
#

You can put some fish in the aquarium, it will say on the fish description if they're suitable for display and their grade of aquarium

#

And no, if you do new game+ you can redo the crafter quests

obsidian patio
#

Only fish that explicitly state in their tooltip that they can go into an aquarium can be put in it

#

!item copperfish

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Copperfish** **:** Seafood : ilvl 20

*The copperfish's dull orange scales─a hue rare in freshwater wavekin─make this species popular amongst Ul'dahn nobles, who apparently prefer even their fish to be the color of their coin.

[Suitable for display in aquariums tier 1 and higher.]
[Suitable for printing on small canvases.]*

obsidian patio
#

you can see a full list of eligible fish in the aquarium interface, should be accessible by clicking a paper icon button

vestal needle
#

does playing quests in easy mode take away anything?

gloomy mortar
#

So if it says "Suitable for printing on medium canvases" means no aquarium? And what does printing a fish mean?

stuck minnow
#

okay so i got the achievement smile you son of a, does that mean ive done the event ? and where do i go to claim the outfit

oak ice
#

Duties in easy mode does not change anything

#

Same duty, you just get a big buff

stuck minnow
#

okay nvm found the vendor but how do u get more seals ?

oak ice
#

Should be a repeatable quest somewhere there

green grail
#

something like that

leaden ginkgo
#

should I do all of those quests

obsidian patio
#

for the most part yeah

glass cape
#

Are there still limitations on the free trial?

obsidian patio
#

yes

#

!faq freetrial

zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
#

the blue quests that you can safely skip generally are the "Leves of x" ones and the "So you want to be a x" quests for classes that you don't want to unlock.

glass cape
#

@obsidian patio thank you

green grail
#

mostly the social limitations and gil cap, but the content should be the same as starter edition

proven bay
#

A lot of the social limitations are also just to prevent RMT and make it more difficult in general

stray holly
#

I got a message and a tutorial that I got a high quality item now and that The Active Help entry High-quality items has been added under the category items. I can’t find it in inventory or armory. Where else do I look?

quasi widget
#

what was the item

stray holly
#

It didn’t say

#

Are bronze piece considered high quality

#

Maybe it bugged out idk 😦

green grail
#

probably some crappy mob drop, they have a shiny icon like this HQplaydead

#

and hq at the end of the name

stray holly
#

Yes

#

Animal skin

#

Thank you

#

Thought I got gear or something haha

green grail
#

hq gear is a thing too but i thiiink only if it's crafted.. or a quest reward, and yeah it'll have some extra stats

#

while hq materials will increase the starting quality of the craft (which translates into higher chance of the craft being hq too)

gloomy mortar
#

What is a Mammet? A robot?

tulip plover
#

Anyone wanna help me lvl my machinist :)

obsidian patio
#

Basically yeah, admiral

tulip plover
#

Plz.... the dps queues are cold and dark

tidal yarrow
#

do I get 10 allegory every single e8n run?

wet cradle
#

do fates during wait times

quasi widget
#

do I get 10 allegory every single e8n run?
@tidal yarrow yep

tidal yarrow
#

should I bother grab the loot of it?

#

I always press pass not sure what they are for

#

of Shiva)

quasi widget
#

you can exchange them for i480 gear

#

should say how many you need in the description of each

candid raptor
#

The pieces are literally showing what slot they're for

#

And yeh, description says how many

tidal yarrow
#

mm.. I have already 480-490 so I think imma pass

#

unless they look good for glam

tulip plover
#

Fuk how do you solo fate bosses

#

As a dps

quasi widget
#

low level you might not be able to without help

warped nest
#

chocobo companion with some healer skill will work when your character is higher level

#

Take note that some rare FATE boss are significantly harder and they are definitely not soloable

leaden ginkgo
#

Now that you need to do the ARR raids for MSQ, if I skip ARR will I still need to do the raids to access 5.3?

neat stratus
#

Are free trial more lonely then subbing? Theres no chat? Or banter of any sort? No barrens chat in the newbie zones here ? :) Zero player interactions. Played my first 5 hours yesterday and it's quite lonely:p

obsidian patio
#

none

oak ice
#

They're under Ishgard Restoration

obsidian patio
#

it uses different conditions instead of good/excellent

#

@leaden ginkgo looking at the story skip page, it seems that the Crystal Tower series is now included in it.

oak ice
#

Special, high level recipe for lots of crafter score

leaden ginkgo
#

@obsidian patio omg for real? Thats wild

green grail
#

free trial vs starter edition has no differences in content, just the social limits, so yeah you'll be more lonely, as a paid player you can join a free company (guild) or novice network (closest you can get to a general worldwide chat) @neat stratus

obsidian patio
#

These are the different crafting conditions that can occur in expert recipes:
Centered - Increases action success rate by 25%
Sturdy - Reduces loss of durability by 50%
Pliant - Reduces CP cost by 50%

candid raptor
#

@neat stratus there's no map chat in this game outside of /shout

Normally people join FCs for osocial interaction but trials can't dp that so yeah

obsidian patio
#

the crafts are centered around having very high stats

#

They're basically balanced around having melded facet gear with maximum CP.

leaden ginkgo
#

@obsidian patio just checked, I can't see any reference to them on the store page?

obsidian patio
#

I was looking at the page that details all the stuff it includes

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh ty king

obsidian patio
#

The last 3 duties it lists for "Available Duties and Trials" are the CT 24-man duties

rough anchor
#

Is the legacy warrior glam in the moonfire fair vendor shop thing?

obsidian patio
#

nope mogstation

rough anchor
#

Darn, i had hoped

obsidian patio
#

previous year rewards go to the mogstation

rough anchor
#

O well

#

Didn’t the announcement say some rewards would return tho

obsidian patio
#

that mainly just refers to the various firework consumables

#

99% of the time

rough anchor
#

Ah

obsidian patio
#

pat pat

plain python
#

is macro useful in this game?

gloomy mortar
#

"Cure Potency: 500" Does that mean it gives you 500 HP? Or something else

plain python
#

don't think so.

obsidian patio
#

potency is basically a multiplier to tell you how relatively effective an action is for your toolkit

rough anchor
#

Macros are useful, but only for specific actions, as they don’t have an input buffer like normal commands

obsidian patio
#

@plain python for the most part no. Macros are intentionally designed in such a way to not be effective for use in automating combat

green grail
#

macros are useful for crafting, but they're quite jank in combat and should generally not be used

rough anchor
#

Maybe things like a raise macro which is swiftcast + raise + saying in chat who you’re raising

leaden ginkgo
#

One last question regarding the ARR revamp: was the quote regarding ARR having aetheryte tickets that would allow you to instantly teleport to the waking sands a joke or not? I haven't seen anything regarding them in game

obsidian patio
#

Looking at garland tools they're rewards from specific MSQ

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh, huh. No other way of obtaining them?

obsidian patio
#

From what I can tell, no.

leaden ginkgo
#

should I run low level dungeons multiple times or just once for the MSQ?

obsidian patio
#

if you need to level up run the highest level one you can do again, if not then just do the story as it gives a lot of experience

gloomy mortar
#

So how many HP should I expect to get from Second Wind (Cure Potency 500)? More than a Super-Potion that states it gives 4800 HP (I forget the exact amount)

obsidian patio
#

Depends entirely on your gear

neat stratus
#

Is there no voice acting for the entire ARR? When does it become a thing?

obsidian patio
#

also potency isn't directly comparable between jobs due to multipliers and such

#

To use two actions as an example

#

!action cure II

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Cure II** : lvl 30 CNJ WHM (1000 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 700

obsidian patio
#

!action equilibrium

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Equilibrium** : lvl 58 WAR (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Restores own HP.
Cure Potency: 1,200

obsidian patio
#

despite a difference of 500 potency these heal around the same amount assuming the WHM and WAR have equal gear.

green grail
#

base game doesn't have much voice acting unfortunately, no @neat stratus

#

but there's a few voiced scenes

neat stratus
#

@green grail the xpacs do? From heavensward?

obsidian patio
#

more common, but it's not 100%

green grail
#

yeah, even the post base game lvl 50 quests have more iirc

#

and expansion msq is mostly voiced

obsidian patio
#

it's mainly reserved for notable cutscenes

lime geode
#

I just went from Stormblood to Shadowbringers and it was 2-3 hours of voiced cut scenes.

#

There was so much more voiced scenes in the xpacs.

leaden ginkgo
#

2.0 also has a decent amount of voiced scenes, but they're usually limited to important story events

neat stratus
#

Alright. Ty:)

white ether
#

Can I get a link to the patch notes

white ether
#

Gratze

leaden ginkgo
#

Damn that's fast

#

do i need to make HQ items for beast tribes or does it not matter

obsidian patio
#

only if they directly ask for it

#

if they're fine with Normal quality there's no difference

leaden ginkgo
#

o so if the symbol for hq doesn't show in the uh quest objective it doesn't matter

obsidian patio
#

yep

leaden ginkgo
#

tyty

vivid wolf
#

how long would the dragonsong quests take?

#

are they long quests, or is it more like 1-2 steps?

#

got like 1 h left till my job interview so might do a quest or 2 if they arent too long

obsidian patio
#

you mean all the HW patch quests?

vivid wolf
#

i guess all of them would take like 3 days or so

#

atleast

obsidian patio
#

maybe a week at most depending on how much you can play and if you take the time watching cutscenes

vivid wolf
#

but i've noticed some quests post-arr were usually 1-2 steps to complete

#

wondering if it's the same with hw patch quests

obsidian patio
#

the expansion patch quests are more condensed for the most part, usually filled with more cutscenes.

#

Like a patch may only have 6-7 MSQ but those quests can still take a few hours depending on how story-heavy they are.

#

as a semi-extreme example, Patch 5.3 MSQ seems to be taking most players about 3-5 hours or so depending on their speed doing the non-cutscene stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a way to get old moonfaire items? i resubbed for this event specifically but it doesnt seem like

obsidian patio
#

right-click the item you want to meld and choose meld materia

#

you can only overmeld equipment that doesn't have the tag "Advanced Melding Forbidden"

gritty oracle
#

Is there any way to get the fairy-themed summoning bells from Norvrandt?

obsidian patio
#

looks like you didn't do enough quests then

#

@leaden ginkgo old event rewards can only be bought from the mogstation if you didn't participate in the older ones and got the rewards from them.

wintry chasm
#

Yeah go back to Central Thanalan and to the Bonfire

#

You probably did the wrong one?

leaden ginkgo
#

shoot. well.

stray holly
#

Anyone know a cheap graphic card that runs the game well on medium?

gloomy mortar
#

1050ti @stray holly

obsidian patio
#

The specific quest you need to have done is "Melding Materia Muchly"

wintry chasm
#

Or are you trying to use a materia melder NPC Dakaalim?

obsidian patio
#

oh yeah, NPC melders won't do overmelds.

#

only players can do them.

#

yes

strong tide
#

is there a place where i can find people willing to q into duty finders with me? i've been searching for striking tree for 18mins and im the only person lol

obsidian patio
#

Not sure if it still works, but you should be able to just retrieve the materia from the item and then immediately meld it back in and it'll count

warped nest
#

Did you select JEDF for the language setting?

wintry chasm
#

@strong tide striking tree hard?

strong tide
#

yeah striking tree hard

#

i'm only on E though, does that make a huge difference?

wintry chasm
#

Wait isn't it like, in the middle of night in the US?

left cedar
#

So how does limited loot work in the new alliance raid? Does it cover all drops or only the gear pieces?

obsidian patio
#

yeah it's the dead of night

gloomy mortar
#

3am PST

obsidian patio
#

3am-6am for most of NA depending on the time zone

strong tide
#

i'm playing on JP though

wintry chasm
#

Gear only Orion

warped nest
#

Aside from language setting, 18 minutes is not unusual for queue duration, don't forget that it is 3-6am in NA now

strong tide
#

elemental server

left cedar
#

Like if I roll on a minion or orchestrion roll, does that use up my roll for that week?

#

Gear only, okay! Thank you :)

warped nest
#

This is day one for a new patch

obsidian patio
#

oh then make sure to enable the J if you're playing on elemental

wintry chasm
#

^

gloomy mortar
#

^

warped nest
#

So people are probably not queueing for trial roulette either

wintry chasm
#

You ARE playing on a JP server

strong tide
#

ah makes sense, but i didn't want to be inconsiderate if i cant communicate lol, guess i'll just try my luck then

wintry chasm
#

Most people are jp

strong tide
#

especially since it's my first time running the dungeon

warped nest
#

It is just striking tree hard

#

Just watch a guide

green grail
#

1 piece of gear per week

strong tide
#

👍 average wait time is significantly lower hopefully this does help

#

thanks guys!

green grail
#

plus 1 guaranteed coin and 1 materia cluster

#

minions and cards and music are unlimited

gloomy mortar
#

075GNBGunbreaker No Problem!

lime geode
#

what are the coins for? I'm got a bunch of random ones

green grail
#

you buy upgrade items with them for tome gear

#

gets your crystarium to i500

lime geode
#

Is that better than Scaevan gear?

#

ah ic

green grail
#

scaevan is still leveling gear

#

also the un-augmented versions were practically removed with this patch

#

so only really applies for the lvl 80 coins/raids

lime geode
#

I haven't hit 80 yet but have Mhachi, Raqbanastran etc

warped nest
#

So I can overmeld but I cannot go over the stats cap
@finite swift yeah, this is to prevent players from getting too many good stat

lime geode
#

Yeah and of course I have mostly unaugmented! All good though since it won't be useful for much longer.

warped nest
#

Mhachi are for lvl 60 stuff, and Raban are for lvl 70 stuff, but they are obsolete now

candid raptor
#

Welcome to overmelding

warped nest
#

First time with RNG?

#

It can go as low as single digit

lime geode
#

Makes sense since I'm not 80 - just discard them?

warped nest
#

Yeah, pretty much

green grail
#

not even sure if there's any use for the old coins if you can't upgrade anything with them

warped nest
#

Maybe eventually they will find some use for these coins, like let you trade for the alliance gear for glamour

#

But for the time being, they serve no purpose

gritty oracle
#

What does "CW dps mean?" From a PF.
"Anyone wanna test out shadow gwiber drop rates? no salt pls. cheese method and CW dps"

warped nest
#

Clock wise

gritty oracle
#

ah

#

for shadow spread?

warped nest
#

CCW for counter clockwise / anti clockwise

#

I have no idea

#

I have only done some Titania/Innocence EX

#

XD

green grail
#

i guess for the pairs if they have a macro for clock pos

#

TH on inter, dps on cardinals, and dps rotate clockwise for the.. ascian prime whatever the mechanic's called

#

at least that's what i'd assume

When does moon festival start?

obsidian patio

What's the language spread in the two preferred servers in Chaos (Louisoux and Spriggan)? I'm Italian and afaik Ragnarok is the only world to have the reputation of hosting an Italian community.

Any particolar details to know about those two servers as far as gameplay and community focus goes?

acoustic osprey
#

how important is the plot for ARR

#

i skipped all of it so far till the MSQ at lvl 27

#

because ARR is such a drag

obsidian patio
#

very important, as it's setting up the building blocks for the expansions

young fjord
#

Just skip and then watch a recap on youtube just before you go heavensward

#

You should get it in some way atleast

acoustic osprey
#

i only roughly follow the story line, which is you the adventurer start off with helping out important task for adventurer's guilds, found out some shady org is trying to do something bad

#

then got scouted by the scions of fate which is another secret good guy org trying to stop the evil org

#

the rest i dunno yet since im at lvl 27 only

#

i mean the MSQ

oak ice
#

@rich grail haven't heard anything about Ragnarok having a sizeable Italian population, tbh

#

But both Spriggan and Louie are predominantly English

rich grail
#

It's not france/Germany big yeah

wintry chasm
#

i only roughly follow the story line, which is you the adventurer start off with helping out important task for adventurer's guilds, found out some shady org is trying to do something bad
|| Scions of the Seventh Dawn. You skipped out where the big bad empire is gearing up for another invasion of Eorzea. There is also that weird secret society of masked people doing bad things too called Ascians. You have a power called the echo which lets you (unwillingly) look into people's pasts and you got a crystal of light after finishing the starting city-state story. Other than that after you joined the Scions you were tasked to deal with Ifrit, a primal summoned by the Amal'jaa. Long story short you get kidnapped and were about to get tempered (primals can basically force people into being slaves of their will) but you find that your echo prevents that from happening and you kill Ifrit. Minfilia just talks about how important the echo is to stopping the primals for that reason. Other than that you generally missed information regarding the cities, the general state of the realm and all that.|| @acoustic osprey

What vanity reward(s) do the new Nier raid give?

No outfit if that's what you're wondering

elder sinew
#

What does a "Light Party" in a dungeon mean?

warped nest
#

4 player

wintry chasm
#

4 people

#

A full party is 8

warped nest
#

Full party is 8-player

#

Alliance party is 3 full party

elder sinew
#

Early dungeons are all 4man?

wintry chasm
#

The rewards at the end is just...cards, 2 minions (one rare) some music and that's it Chronos

obsidian patio
#

all dungeons are 4-man

wintry chasm
#

All dungeons are 4-man except 2

warped nest
#

Noted, Calisaie, thanks

wintry chasm
#

Trials become 8-man after the first few

green grail
#

the 2 non-4man dungeons are mistakes, not dungeons yoshistare

warped nest
#

Just want to point out that everything becomes more standardized once you hit Heavenswards

#

Dungeons/Raids/trials, rewards/loots, gearing, etc etc

wintry chasm
#

Vis plz

warped nest
#

There are a lot of "stuff, except this and that" in ARR

wintry chasm
#

Not really Chronos. That's more just post base ARR

#

Not so much first expansion

warped nest
#

It is not a complete mess, just not very consistent, that's all

lean temple
#

Question from a new player i just hit 80, but haven’t completed the last 3 or 4 patches (shadowbringers) MSQ..
Is it mandatory to focus on getting this done before doing something else ?

warped nest
#

Yeah

wintry chasm
#

Umm I'd do Eden

gritty oracle
#

I've just unlocked MNK and mapping out my abilities. Is six-sided star and tornado kick worth putting into my hotbars? I've heard they're really bad.

wintry chasm
#

Tornado kick is bad in so far as it's really niche

obsidian patio
#

tornado kick not really, six-sided star kinda

lean temple
#

Thanks

green grail
#

i think SSS is ok if you have to disengage from the enemy for more than a gcd

warped nest
#

Do take note that MNK will be getting a significant update in 5.4 (?)

#

So keep an eye out on that

green grail
#

i don't know anything about mnk tho PaissaLick

wintry chasm
#

Oh if you haven't finished base Shadowbringers story you need to do one role questline or else you'll get stuck so be sure to complete that @lean temple

elder sinew

Hmm, how do you use the Limit Break skill when it's max bar?

warped nest

Open Action and Trait window

If you are on keyboard mouse, you can just drag and drop it in your hotbar

If you are on PS4, press square will open the context menu to assign it to your hotbar

Any tips for targeting, especially in large clusters of monsters?

#

It feels a bit clunky compared to WoW

green grail
#

target any and use aoe attacks

frosty badger
#

how much time would it take to rack up enough faux leaf to get the mount?

#

is 600 a lot?

candid raptor
#

Not much you can do with targeting in clusters. Eventually you get used to it but it still feels clunky

green grail
#

probably depends on your luck in the minigame, i think there's like rare tiles that give you more leaves

candid raptor
#

Also you don't get a set amount of leaves (depends on what you uncover)

rugged shuttle
#

Ok about to start a new character having played in years. Any reccomendations on a preferred server in U.S

frosty badger
#

like is it better than aiming for golden certificate?

#

more luck?

candid raptor
#

Luck is not quantifiable so

#

It's more probable you'll get the high faux leaves reward but you need many of those still to get 600

grave glade
#

can I ask questions regarding the new 5.3 trails here ?

#

or do I have to ask in patch 5.3 spoilers ?

green grail
#

wondrous tails gold certs are super rare since you need 3 lines iirc, which happens like 0 to 1 time in your life, and faux tails you can keep grinding the leaves every week until you get the mount

frosty badger
#

oh nice

green grail
#

if it's normal mode trial mechanic questions then here with spoiler tags should be fine, for extreme you can use #endgame-lounge

jaunty ruin
#

hey all, brand new player here and im stuck on which class to choose. Im being called towards Gladiator or Pugilist. Any help on what I should choose?

elder sinew
#

What's the point of player commendation in a dungeon?

#

Is it shown somewhere?

jaunty ruin
#

idk if I wanna be DPS or Tank, im a very indecisive person xd

green grail
#

character -> reputation @elder sinew

runic bough
#

@jaunty ruin Try both

elder sinew
#

Oh, what can you do with it

runic bough
#

You're the best judge after all

finite walrus
#

@elder sinew achievements, stuff like titles, equipment and its a requirement for getting mentor

jaunty ruin
#

I just dunno what class I should choose xd

green grail
#

you get achievements the more commends you get and the achievements give some exclusive rewards, titles, mounts, glamour

elder sinew
#

Nice

open coral
#

You can see how many comms you've gotten on the second tab of your character sheet

jaunty ruin
#

Gladiator seems like the best bet but Lancer seems pretty fun too

green grail
#

they're all pretty slow and crappy until level 40-50

jaunty ruin
#

Who?

green grail
#

all classes

jaunty ruin
#

oo

#

makes sense tbh

green grail
#

pick one you like the most aesthetically

rugged shuttle
#

I loved Gladiator \ Paladdin one of my favriote tanks until Gunbreaker

jaunty ruin
#

ima go with Glad, polearms make me feel weird xd

rugged shuttle

Warrior is also a tank incase you want a giant axe to swing around

At 80, your biggest priority will probably be getting sufficient gear to do the level 80 instance content like YorHa (Alliance raid) or Eden (Normal raid). Since that's the case, you'll want to do level 80 dungeons to earn tomestones of phantasmagoria and allegory, and use those to purchase gear to allow you to get into those instances.

#

Look for bluequest in the Crystarium and Eulmore

#

Those will unlock the optional (non-MSQ) dungeons which will help fill out your 80/Expert roulette lists, and can be used to earn those tomestones.

#

Once you've obtained sufficient ilevel, you can go into Eden's Gate (E1-4) and Copied Factory to get a feel for what level 80 group content is like and get additional gear without requiring tomestones.

lean temple
#

Many thanks @open coral really appreciated

open coral
#

Keep in mind, this is only one path. If you're not interested in group content, you can simply not focus on gear and instead choose to level another job or pick up a crafting or gathering profession to level.

#

Although ultimately you will need at least some ilevel to proceed through subsequent parts of the MSQ. The 5.3 content released yesterday has a minimum ilevel requirement of 460.

lean temple
#

Will work in that then, its just the MSQ is bugging me not sure if i continue or do what u said, from what i gathered from online resources it seems there is atleast 100 more quests required to finish all MSQ

open coral
#

You can't unlock the additional content until after you've completed at least the 5.0 MSQ. If you have more than 100 quests remaining, you haven't even done that.

#

So your focus then, should be to finish the MSQ.

lean temple
#

And tbh i dont care about story want to get into raid/group content right away

#

Wow player 😅

open coral
#

I'm also a WoW player, and the lack of story in that game annoys me 😄

lean temple
#

Many thanks friend

open coral
#

This game, though. you really do need to complete the MSQ. If you really don't care about the story you can skip the cutscenes, but... you're missing out, imo.

#

Everything is locked behind completion of the MSQ, more or less.

Where's the retainer guy in Ul'dah? trying to look for an icon, but not sure he has one

In the Sapphire Exchange.

#

so the song I was looking for was tomorrow and tomorrow reprise, the piano version

#

the orchestrion roll for that isn't available right ?

proper cipher
#

The msq is really good in this. Especially Shadowbringers. Story wise.

open coral
#

The piano versions are mostly from the Mogstation, have you checked there?

grave glade
#

huh I did not

#

thank you, I'll check it out

pearl wharf
open coral
#

Exactly what it says. You don't have a high enough Craftsmanship rating

#

You need 2480, but only have 2447

pearl wharf
#

well yeah but i have competence 8

#

melded to my gear

#

but i dont know what more i need to do

open coral
#

That rating is with those melds

#

You need better gear, I guess?

green grail
#

or food/pots

open coral
#

^

pearl wharf
#

FOOD

simple shore
#

Yup, you need better gear / better melds / consumes

pearl wharf
#

I have the highest gear available besides the new aesthet gear

signal hollow
#

hello. as a summoner, which of the pets should i have out for questing?

simple shore
#

Yes but is it penta'd? The 3 star requirements are pretty stiff

open coral
#

@signal hollow Each of the pets is situational. Ifrit for single target fights, Garuda for AoE, and Titan if you want to be a little less squishy.

oak ice
#

White scrip gear and relic can't be melded

signal hollow
#

thank you very much! @open coral

elder sinew
#

Does all mounts have the same speed regardless of looks, e.g. the ones you buy in market

open coral
#

Yes

#

And they can all fly too

elder sinew
#

Faster than chocobo then?

open coral
#

Even the chocobo has the same speed

elder sinew
#

Then how do ppl race chocobo

open coral
#

Mount speed is based on zone completion, not on the mount itself

elder sinew
#

Or only diff speed in races

open coral
#

Chocobo racing is a minigame in the Gold Saucer

oak ice
#

Chocobo races are its own thing

elder sinew
#

Oh you dont use your own chocobo

open coral
#

Completely unrelated to actual mounts

elder sinew
#

For that

oak ice
#

Technically you do, but any stats there has no bearing on anything else

elder sinew
#

Gotcha

#

Can you f2p a flying mount then?

oak ice
#

Just how your minions can fight in verminion but not in the field

open coral
#

You use your own "racing chocobo" (which is different from your company chocobo) in races

lavish breach
#

people talking about new gear and glam on 5.3 but im so confused, where can i find those or look at them? o: anyone know what theyre called?

open coral
#

All f2p available mounts can also fly.

oak ice
#

Your chocobo can fly when you beat the base quest

elder sinew
#

Nice

proud willow
#

All mounts can fly, period

oak ice
#

@lavish breach new gear is either from the 24 man raid, which you can't preview unless it drops for you or you see someone wearing them, or use an outside source.
Glam and the crafter gear can be previewed on the marketboard

elder sinew
#

Can you even pug those endgame raids or have to actually join a raiding guild?

oak ice
#

You can pug it

#

Lots of people pug savage

elder sinew
#

What are the raid tiers/difficulty levels?

ocean herald
#

can i join my friends fc after leaving my fc on my current home world? i used world transfer to them, does 24 hours penalty applied?

winter nimbus
#

so i updated act today and still can't get it to work is that normal?

oak ice
#

Normal/story raids, Extreme trials, Savage Raids, Ultimate

lavish breach
#

theres no new gear in marketboard lol

oak ice
#

ACT takes a while after a big patch to start up again and requires an update

simple pine

  • hard in between normal/extreme
lavish breach

anyone know what the gear in heroes gauntlet are called?

#

shadowless something?

oak ice
#

Oh, that gear, you can't preview it unless it drops or see someone wear it

lavish breach
#

oo

#

okay thankies

oak ice

But the patch notes have an image with it

@tame jay can you take a screenshot of what she says?

Yes, that's the dungeon gear

DRG is third from the left

oh i tho this was a prediction pic lmao

#

ionic wadi
#

Got pictures of the Nier gear?

open coral
#

Nobody has those yet. They didn't publish a preview, and nobody will have more than one piece at this point.

lavish breach
#

no coffers?

open coral
#

No coffers

simple pine
#

technically people could just link their piece in chat, and "try out" a full set like that to take an image, right?

lavish breach
#

ah

open coral
#

Not glam coffers like CF had, at least

lavish breach
#

they did publish some of them tho

#

on naokis livestream

plush sierra
#

hey guys which is the right channel to make friends that could teach me the game?

vivid thorn
#

How does one check ping in-game?

lavish breach
#

he showed some art for them

simple pine
#

you cant check ping ingame

#

you need to do stuff outside the game to either check the network connection of the ffxiv process, or ping the correct datacenter

!item scattered cargo

Error!

Item not found, Kupo!

oak ice

#

Do you gather the scattered cargo?

open coral
#

Did you have that quest in your log before yesterday @tame jay ?

#

Hmm, might be a bug related to the update.

simple pine
#

@vivid thorn

Windows Key + R
Type "resmon"
Tab "Network"
Click "FFXIV"
Look under "TCP Connections" and you will see two FFXIV entries showing you the ping.

#

That new tank gear looks nice. Might be able to do my fallen holy warrior Paladin glam with some of that MonkaHmm

open coral
#

The cargo will be in your Key Items tab

simple pine
#

there should be a tab to go to quest items in inventory

neat stratus
#

The Feature Quests, are they only done once? Same as MSQ?

open coral
#

I can only think of two possible solutions. The first would be to drop the quest and redo it.

simple pine
#

yes @neat stratus

raven glen
#

how and when do you unlock dark night job ?

neat stratus
#

@simple pine Ty

open coral
#

The second would be to submit a bug report to SE and wait for a response.

simple pine
#

once you get to heavensward (and are level 50)

#

there is a quest to unlock it

raven glen
#

ah

#

when do you get to switch jobs ?

simple pine
#

level 10

#

need level 15 MSQ to access some of the cities with other jobs

raven glen
#

last question what are the jobs available at that level ?

proven bay
#

Which level?

simple pine
raven glen
#

10

simple pine
#

this has a good overview

opaque basin
#

Hey all, hope you are well. I have a question, How Can I make something like downloading FF14 in an other disk because C: is full and I don't see how i can put it in my other disk

#

sorry for my english

simple pine
#

as well as what the jobs turn into

raven glen
#

thanks

open coral
#

Pre-HW jobs are ROG/ACN/MRD (Limsa), LNC/ARC/CNJ (Gridania), and THM/PUG/GLA (Uldah)

simple pine
#

all of the "starting level 1" will be available as soon as you reach level 10, but as i mentioned earlier you need lvl 15 MSQ to visit some of their starting locations

raven glen
#

alrighty

#

thanks

open coral
#

You have to both reach level 10 and complete the level 10 job quest for your initial class.

raven glen
#

i was going for tank if dark night was an option so i will just switch to lancer for dragoon

#

instead

open coral
#

And the MSQ "Sylph Management" iirc.

simple pine
#

sylph management is for the level 30 job

proven bay
#

If you wanna go tank, and specifically Dark Knight, you should do Gladiator until you reach HW. You'll get accustomed to the type of playstyle you need

open coral
#

@tame jay Submit a bug ticket through the game. Yesterday's patch may have screwed something up.

#

Yeah, just gotta wait then.

#

You've got to remember that all of the work on this patch was done in an unprescedented setting of all of the teams, including the QA teams, working from home. Some bugs this time are to be expected.

#

And this patch included major edits to the ARR MSQ as well

rugged shuttle
#

Isn't that an old quest?

open coral

It is.

mortal ice

did they increase the gil cap for trial players?

open coral

No

Only the level cap.

Eden will have one more wing in 5.4

How do you link a Skill in chat?

mortal ice
#

so what should i spend my gil on? im at cap 300k

open coral
#

As a trial player?

#

Uhh

#

Whatever you want, i guess?

simple shore
#

There's ways to circumvent the cap, too

simple pine
#

the only thing you can really spent on is gear from shops, and then make sure to always pick those money bags from quests

#

and hold onto those

simple shore
#

in terms of....ways you can hold onto more gil in the form of items

elder sinew
#

How do you sell stuff as f2p?

simple shore
#

On the marketboard? You cant

simple pine
#

to link a skill in chat, type the start of it and press TAB

elder sinew
#

Ah nice

simple pine
#

you can also use the TAB to put messages such as "hello" and "pull enemy away" and it will auto translate to people who play on a different language

is there a way to recover GP faster?

Savens either state the actual problem you're having

or go complain somewhere else

They ran into a bug in the ARR MSQ

And they're mad about it.

treat this like a single-player rpg with a story focus
