Look up Dazed Citizen on Garlond DB. It will tell you her outfit and appearance info
warped nest
No

The top is the High House Bustle
simple pine
yes in ARR you need GC to unlock lvl 50 hunts
kind eagle
Ohh
simple pine
and i think you need ARR hunts fow HW hunts as well?
slate arrow
@finite swift yes, you need to unlock ARR hunts, and then each subsequent hunts in order to get to the current expac
simple pine
ARR hunt information is on the poster near your GC house
slate arrow
Your hunt bills are in your key items menu when you accept them
kind eagle
Everything they wear is obtainable right?
fresh lodge
Mostly
tidal yarrow
do you need to redeem xp from hunting log it is it auto? can't remember
fresh lodge
NPCs can ignore class restrictions
slate arrow
However, A and S rank hunts are free for all to do
You DO NOT need a bill to participate in A and S ranks
You will also get rewards based on your PARTY participation
For A and S ranks
simple pine
yes
slate arrow
If you can't access the hunt board, you need to rank up your Grand Company Rank
simple pine
if it doesnt let you do anything, you need to get a certain rank with GC and do a short quest
slate arrow
Once you finish the last hunt unlock quest, go to ishgard to unlock the Heavensward hunts
just until second lieutenant/the one you unlock squadrons at, I think
wispy parcel
Keep in mind outfits of major NPC's usually arent obtainable in game
That have to be bought via mogstation
Like Y'shtolas ShB outfit
lyric magnet
while playing this game, do you have to listen to your character's voice a lot? or is it silent protagonist style in cutscenes
simple pine
silent, besides grunts and stuff in combat
lyric magnet
ah
simple pine
your char never talks in any cutscenes, just nods and emotes
lyric magnet
i ask because GW2 was fully voiced and i despised it
slate arrow
@finite swift just talk with the hunt board manager person to double check you don't have any additional quests to unlock
Then go to foundation and go to the forgotten Knight for HW
then rhalgr/Kugane for Stormblood
simple pine
yeah just follow that wiki :p
slate arrow
Then Crystarium for ShB
simple pine
yes
slate arrow
yes
fortunately, they're only level locked
So if you're 80 you can just plunk down all the unlock quests at once

which is better, the 485 relic with 5 materia, or the 490 crystarium with just 2?

Is there any way to replay the sapphire weapon fight?

(for AST specifially)
vivid wolf
are teleportation fees fixed, or do they scale with level?
vivid wolf
feels like i'm paying more and more for the same location
rough anchor
distance only, and a FC can have a buff to reduce the fees
vivid wolf
oh alright
median locust
@rough anchor For most jobs, Crystarium is slightly better.
rough anchor

Guess i should look for an fc for those reduced fees then

Note: It's not actually live data. It's crowd sourced info from people who run a plugin so it's not going to be 100% accurate
But it should be decent
slate arrow
Basically, it's as up to date as you want it to be
More popular items will always be relative up to date
ember goblet
i see best one around?
median locust
Probably yeah
slate arrow
it's the only one around
The older ones (and other sites) have had their information gathering methods banned since
ember goblet
i still see mogboard still running bbut its so innaccurate
median locust
There used to be one with live data, but it accessed the SE data too much so its accounts got banned

Okay, thanks for the clarification
rugged shuttle
Which crafting class makes Samurai armor?
full storm
why there's so many people whisp you to join their company
fresh lodge
You need Alc to make a lot of the components for SAM armour
median locust
It's usually recommended to level every crafting class at once to save money and inventory space
faint flare
At least they ask instead of invite spamming
median locust
Because all crafting classes need mats from one another
If you don't level all of them, you're going to have to buy materials from other players which will be very expensive in the long run

Hi ! want to buy Final fantasy online whats the diffrence beetween them. There is noway to see it att the shop.
FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online Complete Edition - Collector's Edition
and
FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online Complete Edition

Collector's Edition has a few additional goodies like mounts, minion and weapon skins
that's it
unborn plinth
ok, ty worth the extra money ?

You already get one for free from the story
but yeah that would be an extra one

hey guys i have been able to upgrade my pc and would like to play 14 again in pc instead of ps4. I have vanilla and heavenguard in pc and all the expeansions in ps4. What games i need to buy to play in pc? bloodstorm and shadowbringers?
indigo condor
but i have base+ heavensguard
median locust
ah, misread
indigo condor
in pc vanilla + heavensguard
median locust
Then yeah if you buy Shadowbringers you should be good
Shadowbringers includes Stormblood
rugged shuttle
Also PC Steam \ Square enix versions are different
If you buy Expansions on Square it won't work with steam version
green grail
that's complete, not collector's
median locust
I don't see goodies on that page
rugged shuttle
Ya thats same price of current package for NA
granite swan
Oh, well i dont even see a collectors edition on NA
green grail
you can buy a digital upgrade to collectors on mogstation, and get the same ingame cosmetics
you can even pick and choose between specific expansions instead of buying them all at once
rugged shuttle
ya
granite swan
Just weird EU get it and NA doesn't when its from the same storefront heh

Weird
simple pine
if you queue for "xx in need", and then queue takes so long "xx" is no longer in need, do you still get the bonus?
median locust
Yes
It checks for in need when you queue, and when you clear the duty
If it was in need at either point in time, you get the bonus
ancient kraken
So I am a completely new player. Chose puglist as my starting class. Up to level 19. Are the job quests that I see like blacksmith, fisherman, etc essential early on? Should I wait? I have no idea as this is my first MMO
simple pine
so sometimes even if xx is not in need when you queue, but by the time it is completed, you can get a bonus anyways?
median locust
You can wait before you level crafters, they're far from mandatory
@simple pine Yes
ancient kraken
Thank you. A bit overwhelmed right now by the sheer amount of stuff to do.
simple pine
if you are ever overwhelmed, just focus on the main story quest
and your pugilist (monk) job quest
both are in the top left corner of your screen
median locust
Yup, those are the two most important things to do
But you can branch out and try other stuff too no problem
hallow hatch
Oh my God I feel silly. They're not responding by email, they responded in game 
ancient kraken
Welp, just learned something new. I've been focused on the quest log for every single quest I've picked up. (I pick them all up)
karmic patrol
what're the benefits of choosing a grand company?
dusky nest
Yeah if you do sidequests try to only do 
karmic patrol
or is it all the same?
dusky nest
or is it all the same?
@karmic patrol you have to pick one and the differences are really just glamour and location
simple pine
you can switch later
dusky nest
That's subjective
junior yacht
faint flare
Look at what they're wearing
dusky nest
But maelstrom has a sick coat and boots later and the legion has some neat armors

i think flame is the best location though, right next to the aethertp thingy

nvm flame looks beastly lol
narrow elm
hello so i joined this server bc i need help with something so yesterday I made a free trail account and I downloaded the game on steam but when ever I log on it will ask me for a registration code or it will say f and I do not have the code... What do I do?
simple pine
im not sure if its the same with steam, but outside steam you need a special trial launcher
did you download this?
median locust
I'd recommend starting outside of Steam if you can
wispy parcel
The steam version of XIV comes with a whole bunch of annoyances just get it off the XIV website
median locust
If you buy on Steam you're locked to Steam forever and cannot ever buy expansions outide of steam
Game is 50% off on the SE website but not steam? too bad
patent citrus
yee, only get the steam one if you playing steam markets
simple pine
yeah if you are smart with steam even new expansions will be at least 20% off
and depending on region you can have regional sub prices, using wallet
true citrus
Are golden antiquity blades still once per week
median locust
No
faint flare
Yes
true citrus
Fight
median locust
Pretty sure all the normal mode restrictions were removed, unless that was in fine print
faint flare
Fine print
median locust
- This change does not apply to the Blade of Golden Antiquity obtained in Eden's Verse: Refulgence.
yep
green grail
gear is uncapped, blades are once a week
true citrus
Why do they not want the casuals to get weapons ez in a day bastards
median locust
The number of Blades of Golden Antiquity required to exchange for a Perdurable Tomestone has been reduced from 7 to 4.
Only need 4
narrow elm
hmm ok so i should just download the window 10 version?
wispy parcel
If you have windows 10 then yea
median locust
@true citrus They already do. Go get one of the iLv485 relics.
Crystarium 490 is barely any better
true citrus
Yeaaaahh.. i have all the 485 but the upgraded crystarium is good
narrow elm
ok thank you
median locust
You can't upgrade crystarium weapons without doing savage at the moment
Only the armor and accessories
median locust
They'll add it later but it's not right now
south yarrow
is there any other way to get i500 edenchoir gear outside of savages? cause i know you can get i500 crystarium with new alliance raid and stuff but what about edenchoir?
scarlet arrow
still just savage
faint flare
No
true citrus
At least now I dont have to decide which tank weapon to main first
faint flare
Savage gear never comes outside savage
south yarrow
aight thanks
median locust
The weapon from the new Extreme trial is the best weapon you can get without doing Savage
iLv495
true citrus
Oh snap nice thank you i will check it out
I'm guessing you mean the story extreme not shiva ?
true citrus
Must find music man
median locust
The materials for it drop from the extreme
dusty mesa
hey guys q: I'm level 60 atm, is it worth buying the 130 gear for tombstones or should I save them for higher item level gear in the first expansion
scarlet arrow
pretty sure dudewhereismyspoon already has a music vid up
median locust
yeah he does
as does mekkah dee
@dusty mesa Where are you in the story? At level 58 ish in the story you'll reach Idyllshire where you can buy iLv270 Shire gear which is way better
But it requires you to get there in the first place
simple pine
@narrow elm make sure you download the free trial version, or it wont work either https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com/download/?lng=en-us
median locust
If you've barely started heavensward I would buy some Ironworks
dusty mesa
@dusty mesa Where are you in the story? At level 58 ish in the story you'll reach Idyllshire where you can buy iLv270 Shire gear which is way better
@median locust I just beat The crysallis trial
median locust
Then you're not at Heavensward yet, you can buy Ironworks
It'll last you until level 55 in the story at least
so it's a while
dusty mesa
the 270 gear bought with poetics aswell?
median locust
Yes
wispy parcel
All old endgame gear is bought with poetics
dusty mesa
ah ok, ty!
tidal yarrow
is the damage on msq balanced if you're playing like as a healer or dps?
faint flare
Yes, all can clear
tidal yarrow
i feel like with a dps class you need a lot less time if it's not bsynced to the class
median locust
It's not changed based on your class but it doesn't take that much longer to kill as healer
patent citrus
yeah actually better with dps
but im only lv 43 though
but some fates with one big monster is tougher to do as dps than a tank
wispy parcel
White Mage does almost as much DPS as like a NIN

Havent entered the feast, but, is the only way to join alone or with a full team? Or can i go duo with a friend ?
mossy tartan
I heard neo-ishgardian gear is upgradable now? Where do I go to do so?
strange coral
Eulmore, the gear exchange npc (I forget the name)
mossy tartan
Thank you
median locust
Make sure you have enough Phantasmagoria items in your inventory BEFORE you turn all your gear in
mossy tartan
I only need the ring upgrade
median locust
gotcha
some turn all their gear in before buying the phantasmagoria items and then they realise they don't have enough
so they have an empty equip slot or two
mossy tartan
ouch
Thank you for the heads up though, someone probably read that and it would help
median locust
It's an easy mistake to make so I'm making sure lol

raven glen
is there a way i can keep track of blue+ quests or know when they unlcoked without being near them ?
wispy parcel
If you accepted those quests they should be in your journal
median locust
You lose Road to 70 when both of these conditions are met:
- Your preferred server loses its preferred status
- Your character is 90 days old
stiff osprey
what do you guys do with your unique untradeable items? i've been saving them, but there's only so many healer's boots and brand-new thigh highs i can have
raven glen
ik ,i am talking about the ones that i havent accepted and have unlocked as i leveled up
median locust
You can throw away most things safely
Quests rewards are almost always reobtainable from the Calamity Salvager unless it's useable gear
wispy parcel
There isnt a way that I know of, I just accept them as I see them
median locust
then it's just a matter of reobtaining it with crafting/etc
raven glen
alright
neat stratus
@median locust if my preferred server loses its status before the character is 90 days old ? Do I lose the buff? Can I lose it tomorrow ? xD
raven glen
thanks
vivid wolf
Is that firmament thing in ishgard a limited time event?
median locust
@neat stratus You keep it until your character is 90 days old

Don't really understand it

Firmament is not limited

@median locust ty

Firmament is presumably permanent at least until the end of ShB

Hey helpful people - so I just finished the 5.2 MSQ sat (perfect timing for the patch!) but immediately ran into the ilvl 460 req for the first dungeon in the new MSQ.
I looked up some lists/guides but many seem to be out of date and I’m still kind of finding the hearing progression/#of tokens a bit confusing.... what is my best upgrade path?
median locust
@tidal yarrow Need to get to level 10 and do your starting job's class quests up to 10 to pick up other jobs
tidal yarrow
you can get ilv480 gear pretty easily on market board
median locust
Neo Ishgardian should be cheap, other than that, Phantasmagoria gear is 460, 470 upgraded
faint flare
Gearing hasn't changed too much. Do eden raids for gear tokens and phastmagoria for 460 and nier raid for 460...or buy neo ishgardian
robust jacinth
Phantasmagoria is the tomestones right?
faint flare
Yes
wispy parcel
Ye
median locust
Yes
robust jacinth
I haven’t really had to gear yet I guess as I’ve just been leveling/MSQ for the past year
So first time doing endgame in this game
faint flare

Can someone tell me where to get the Plum Paper Parasol?
Really have no idea where to find it
robust jacinth
So just hit up the DF roulette for tomestones and run raids?
robust jacinth
For Eden/Copied factory how I see people talking about Eden 1-4 - what exactly is that? Do I unlock those as well?
green grail
if it's not on MB yet then it's most likely unobtainable atm
tidal yarrow
thx
faint flare
Eden 1-4 is the first 4 eden fights
robust jacinth
I just unlocked Eden and Copied Factory a few days ago
faint flare
Copiee factory drops 460 gear straight up
tidal yarrow
i highly suggest buying neo ishgardian gear over than grinding for poetics or whatever
median locust
Eden's Gate rewards 450 gear, Eden's Verse rewards 480 gear
robust jacinth
Also are Savage and Extreme referring to trial difficulty?
robust jacinth
Ok so I need to go back and unlock Alexander then I think
faint flare
You dont need to do them
robust jacinth
Are all of those difficulties usually done with statics instead of DF?
faint flare
Party finder

@green grail Never played the game, so trying to avoid spoilers. Where can I find lore mentors? I'd also feel bad pinging them out of the blue unless they're expressly ok w/ it

@median locust ty
robust jacinth
@wispy parcel that’s just fine with me. Not looking for hardcore just a bit more challenging current stuff.

@cyan kettle It gives a mount, 2 minions, easier access to some crafting materials if you get to max reputation with them. Up to you if you think that's worth it

can I share my hotbar skills to my other crafter?

Do 1/2/3 nut hunts refer to B/A/S ranks?
median locust
No
wispy parcel
I believe some of the crafter abilities are cross class
wispy parcel
But most are unique to the job
faint flare
Yes ikea...you can do /hotbar copy JOB 1 JOB 1
strange coral
@wet cradle Yes, there's a command for it. You can also macro it.
/hotbar copy CUL 1 current 1 to copy CUL hotbar to current. You can also replace current with another class.
median locust
A/S don't require a bill to kill and get rewards from them
wet cradle
omg yes thanks!!!
strange coral
Personally I set up my bars on CUL, then made a macro with each line being a different number (1-8). Switch to other class, click macro to do all at one, switch to next,etc.
robust jacinth
So just find a Hunt train through PF for the A/S then? Are the 1/2/3 ones “worth” doing then at this point?
compact marsh
Does PF still use ilya for e8s?
raven glen
how do you get a mount ?
leaden ginkgo
So I'm not getting the exp bonus from the daily roulette for some reason
median locust
The ARR ones not really. HW/SB/ShB 1/2/3 hunts are decent exp if you're at level or want to buy something with centurio seals/nuts
@raven glen Lv20 in the main story
robust jacinth
Ok thanks!!
raven glen
aha
as new player first i should focus solely on main quest right with blue+ side quests?
leaden ginkgo
It says "a bonus of 256,608 experience points have been awarded". And yet I didnt gain that what
median locust
Main Story quest unlocks 99% of the game so completing it should be your overarching goal
will unlock something
So they're always worth doing
You should focus on your class quests whenever you get a new one (every 5 levels until 50) and the main story quests
Which are 
raven glen
👍
leaden ginkgo
Any ideas why?
raven glen
i wanted to shift to dark knight asap and level that job first
elder sinew
If I wanted to level mining, is it better to do regular Levequest or Grand Company Levequest?
median locust
Dark Knight is pretty far into the story
You have to finish the base game's story, which is until level 50
Then do all the post-base game patch story, which is around 70 quests
wispy parcel
DRK AST and MCH are locked behind heavensward
median locust
And then you reach the first expansion, and ONLY THEN you can pick up Dark Knight
wispy parcel
You have to reach ishgard to get to them
median locust
you don't need to do all quests
These give extremely poor exp
and usually nothing else
harsh nebula
how long (in hours) are the post base game story? they are a lil bit boring for me @@
raven glen
yeh i am ignoring those so far just doing the msq and blue +
shitty boring fetch questy stuff in those from what 7 i did
median locust
Don't know exactly how long but it's a while
The other post-expansion stories are shorter
wispy parcel
@harsh nebula couple dozen hours, they are kinda slow but they do introduce you to a lot of important characters
obsidian pewter
Hey, I'm trying to transfer from Chaos:lich to Light:Louisoix but its not giving me the free transfer says i still have to pay 12.80 despite it being congested to a preferred world is there something I'm missing?
harsh nebula
@wispy parcel ah i see thank you :D
median locust
@obsidian pewter There are no congested servers at the moment.
If it's locked to new characters, it's because there are too many people logged in
Not because it's congested
obsidian pewter
shit ok thanks thought locked would mean congested thanks
faint flare
Nope
clear vine
I guess it's due to the amount of new players trying out the game right? Will it loosen as days passes by?
frosty atlas
Hi! If I don't own Shadowbringers, will I get it if I buy the Complete Collector's Edition Upgrade, or does it only add bonus without including the expansion?
median locust
Congested status is something they set manually like Preferred servers
faint flare
Needs congestrf with a Captial C
median locust
@frosty atlas Yes only the bonuses
frosty atlas
Oh ok, thanks!
median locust
But I'm not sure it'll give you SB/ShB bonuses if you don't own those expacs
raven glen
is there like a beginners guide for like equipment etc and stuff,i feel somewhat lost ?
median locust
@clear vine It will, but you can still try to create a character in the middle of the night, or early morning when less people are playing
clear vine
I'm currently playing in twintania. I can notice the lag and delay, so im presuming it's the new people such as myself playing.
faint flare
It holds important information and it evolves over time
median locust
It's essential to play your job
raven glen
it does fill when i activate iron will
median locust
At one point it'll have an Oath Gauge that fills with a resource you can use to mitigate damage
faint flare
It shows how much Oath you have yo activate various abilities
raven glen
guess i will shut brain off and just keep on going as i learn through osmosis
patent citrus
turn it on in dungeon, turn it off while questing :p
raven glen
👍 nah i just thought maybe it was some notificaiton etc
median locust
Or move it to somewhere less intrusive or shrink it down a bit

Every job has their own form of job gauge to hold/show various resources and information

crude marten
Is it still worth it to do the Leveling lvl16 daily if im already 60?
little swift
Yes the reward scales with your level@crude marten
dim smelt
The exp is actually higher if you do the lvl 16 daily than it you do lvl 60
little swift
The level is just the minimum entry requirement
dim smelt
Honestly lvl 50 or lvl 60 quest on daily are the worst . They give the worst exp for time spent. Better of doing 49 or 59 lol
vivid thorn
is Gubal hard actually harder than Gubal normal?
crude marten
I see.. thanks mates
little swift
Not really? Hard mode dungeons are remixed versions
wispy parcel
Level capped dungeons are easier IMO since you have ur full kit
dim smelt
I did a bit of testing they were not designed and ngive high exp since when they came out they were capped out lvl ..don't quote me on it though I can be wrong
Yeah they are easier I meant the exp gain
Lvl 59 for example gives more exp than 60 atleast outside dailies
little swift
Thats intended @dim smelt
Capstone dungeons were endgame dungeons
They didn't give exp back when that was the level cap
But they were adjusted to give something so you dont get nothing for completing them
dim smelt
Yeah sounds right I meant if you are leveling it's better to do lower level dungeons then capped ones
little swift
Yes if you are leveling do the dungeon before the cap
So the 47/59/69/79 dungeons will give more exp than the 50/60/70
desert trail
I'm really new (first MMORPG) and getting information overload from all the things I'm seeing, is there an up to date guide on crafting or honestly just progression in general? I'm on the free trial and a bit confused about conflicting information (like being level 15 to unlock cross-class skills which I don't seem to have). Currently at the Lvl 20 MSQ Dungeon and wanting to get into crafting. Sorry if this is a bit much.
little swift
Cross class skills aren't a thing anymore
For anything
That's outdated info

Alliance Raids are casual content
low sun
ahh ok

And yes you are required to do the crystal tower raids to start Shadowbringers
little swift
You can queue for those using your standard duty finder

Difficult content such as extremes or savage are more typically done with party finder instead

where i can find 430 ilvl?
halcyon glen
430 is dungeon dropped 5.0 gear

@unkempt oasis 430 is the fish town near amaurot

Grenoldt in the tempest has your 430 artifact gear @unkempt oasis
Assuming youve completed your role quests
dim smelt
Doesn't give the guy give class specific lvl 80 gear ?
little swift
Yes that's what artifact gear is
dim smelt
Yeah
little swift
Job specific armor
unkempt oasis
Grenoldt in the tempest has your 430 artifact gear @unkempt oasis
@little swift i need all gear he give me some of them
little swift
Complete role quests
dim smelt
Yeah good looking gear lol
halcyon glen
So grab the artifact gear from Grendolt and accessories from the 80 roulette dungeons
dim smelt
Specially dark knights
little swift
And have the job you want the gear from at 80
halcyon glen
i assume by "all of them" he means "Grendolt doesn't give accessories"
dim smelt
Yup
unkempt oasis
yep
halcyon glen
430 accessories are from the 80 roulette dungeons - ||Amaurot||, Twinning, and Akademia
halcyon glen
Or use Phantasmagoria for 460

460 upgraded to 470*

Got a question about buying the game. If I get the complete edition that's on sale now, will it come with the latest patch that just went out or was that a paid expansion?
halcyon glen
Yes
little swift
Or join hunt trains and use nuts for 440
dim smelt
Alternatively you can buy 480 for about 100k each for weapon and 60-80 for armor and accessories
halcyon glen
except don't buy the weapon, get your relic instead
dim smelt
Upto you . We gave you all the available options feel free to choose

Where can i buy pld gears?
little swift
What level
crude marten
Any way to increase Mount speed?
dim smelt
Msq
little swift
Mount speed is first increased by msq
Second tier is from allied seal tradeins
But not worth anymore
Since you can fly after completion of the ultimate weapon
little swift
Just use msq gear
Or if you're on an alt job
Grab from npc vendors in the cities if you really need it
I wouldn't by from market board as sub50 most stuff is heavily inflated
wispy parcel
You can still buy from NPC vendors

Okay, here's a little bit of a weird one for you guys: Do I have any relevant moneymaking options available at level 30?
I'm going through the MSQ with a friend so I've been leveling my professions/alts when we both cant get on, but I'm running out of money fast. I've been crafting some HQ items to sell on the market, but I'm wondering if there's something better I can be doing
raven glen
uh should i get an all class set? cause i am naked in my underwear when switiching to goldsmith 😛
wispy parcel
Theres usually a person selling on level gear where there are enemies of that level
raven glen
dont think you would need gear for DoH classes ?
dim smelt
@lean yarrow don't buy weapons from 1-49 51-59 61-69 71-79 you get everything from msq and side quests
wispy parcel
@lean yarrow leveling crafters is very expensive dont bother with it until you cap at least 1 job
little swift
@raven glen they have their own gear types
dim smelt
At 50 just use normal gear at 60 get shire at 70 get rakshasa at 80 you will have tons of options
raven glen
should i bother with leveling up DoH rn ?
dim smelt
Oh my bad get scaevan
little swift
And ironworks is at 50
dim smelt
Yeah
little swift
@raven glen its a big investment I'd wait until you finish msq first
wispy parcel
Level Miner and Botinist first before anything as they help getting raw materials you need for the crafters
raven glen
ight
zinc orbitBOT
dim smelt
Doh is just as big as leveling any Dow class I'd say it takes much longer and is much harder lol
raven glen
what do they help with tho ?

Definitely not harder to level

Best lvling for dps from 60 to 80 besides roulettes?
desert trail
Thanks for the help, seems a bit much for now but I'll try to get into it. Just want to follow up on the crafting thing, I'm assuming the rotations are the "steps" for actually crafting the items for each DoH. Is it recommended to focus the jobs that can craft the equipment for each tier or do I just buy the equipment (if I don't have them) as an investment?
little swift
Leveling dungeons

I'd say don't bother trying to be self sufficient early

ehi guys, first time here... is it worth to start playing the game rn? What I'm asking is: I play mostly for the pvp competitive part of games (or pve if there is that kind of competition). But i know that usually starting an mmo while it has been released for a lot of time is usually a bad idea if you want to be "the best"... is this mmo like the others in this sense?^
faint flare
Pvp isn't a big deal here
past blaze
this and wow are the only games with relevant pve

@trim ermine XIV is a heavily story based MMO and PvP isnt very popular here
short sparrow
Does the complete edition have goodies I won't have got from the expansions + all CEs?
wispy parcel
Honestly I dont think the PvP in xiv is good at all
median locust
PvP is far from the focus in this game and most people will say it's... eh. It's only instanced, no overworld PvP. It's just a side activity.
simple pine
no @short sparrow
halcyon glen
@short sparrow You can upgrade your complete edition to the collector's edition later
median locust
There IS a dedicated community and ranked rewards, but it's not very popular
trim ermine
mmmh i see.. so it's a pve game
halcyon glen
still ends up cheaper
median locust
Yes
halcyon glen
especially cause the upgrades are half off atm
simple pine
no the complete CE is just all CEs
wispy parcel
Best way to describle XIV is that its a JRPG first and an MMO 2nd
short sparrow
I just don't wanna miss any extra bling.
little swift
PvP here is fun side content enjoy it for what it is
wispy parcel
The story is the main draw
halcyon glen
Oh no the Complete includes nothing extra
little swift
Not a main focus
trim ermine
and the pve is competitive? can a new player enter in relatively small time or to acquire gear or smth else will take ages now that the game has released for this amount of time and reaching the top is "Impossible" rn?
sleek gyro
So I renewed my sub after a long time an hour ago and I still cant login on the launcher to start updating a game.. how long does this process take normally?I never had an issue with this before

It's competitive in the sense that people wanna be the first / first 10 to beat new Savage raids.
simple pine
and the story to get to 80 takes weeks
short sparrow
Or whatever.
wispy parcel
Yea everyone gears at about the same pace
severe crater
i mean having a reason doesn't make it any less annoying Q_Q well i gotten used to going from lisma, teleport to arcenist guild and the ferry. At least only once and never again o.-
wispy parcel
And yea you have to do the entire story as its required in this game
little swift
Yes world prog races are a thing
short sparrow
There are 100% some people who are "the best" at this game.
wispy parcel
Which depending on how long you play can take weeks to months
little swift
Next one will be in 3 months
trim ermine
i see, thanks for the infos 🙂
halcyon glen
But for most of the time, PvE is about working together to learn the fights and personally being the best you can be inside that context

what jobs can you unlock in the starting town ?

Has anyone else been experiencing this?

There are boosted servers? What is this, faster XP?
short sparrow
Wow, why am I not on one? Hahaha.

Some servers have a start next to them during character creation. New characters created on these servers get some extra xp but it's absolutely not that important

No @paper raptor we have heard nothing

Yes, Kratos, weapon determines Job in this.
raven glen
alright cool i was just wondering if its not some xp split stuff just by unlocking the job
severe crater
is mount like story quest? coz i over level af coz i was too ocd about very single quest on the map at the start lol still no mount at like lvl 34
simple pine
yes its lvl 20 story quest
but used to not be mandatory
so if you played before 5.3 you might have missed it
severe crater
na i played after 5.3 and i just got to the grand company story quest os i guess after that

i should really get a all class set

those are pretty bad usually

Please dont kill me, just a question: If I didnt like the AAR story at all, should I still try the addon stories? I found the characters and overall story in AAR really really... not good, not sure if I should even stay invested in the plot (I really like pretty much everything else ironically)

No ome will kill you

arr isnt that good

Though its widely agreed that the writing gets better

tho the characters remain throughout the game tho

You also don't have to like the story

Patch 2.55 has good story IMO.

People play the game for different reasons
vivid wolf
is that the final few quests?
wispy parcel
But ARR IS important for the later expansions
short sparrow
I too thought a lot of ARR was kinda badly paced.
little swift
Story doesn't have to be the one that you do
vivid wolf
those really caught my attention
wispy parcel
As its all one story
scarlet arrow
ARR's story isn't necessarily bad, it's just rather vanilla
low sun
It was cliché to a comical degree (for me), but if things get a little more ambiguous, thats good
scarlet arrow
there are more twists and turns once you start progressing deeper into the game
wispy parcel
I'd say XIV is like a TV series that didnt get good until season 2 which in this case would be Heavensward

But you still need to watch season 1 to understand season 2

Another browser i see

You will always have the kenki for that past 62
wispy parcel
Yea try a different browser and if thay doesnt work there might be a problem with squares website
little swift
Also use ikishoten in the opener to boost kenki amount
Get off an earlier shinten until you get guren/senei
vivid wolf
so ikishoten as opener to get kenki for higanbana boost?
little swift
Your rotation alone is enough to get you kenki for Kaiten past 62
The ikishoten is more for additional skills for damage
You can weave shinten and stuff in
tidal yarrow
i guess your opener could br hakaze ikishoten finish shifu, hakaze, jinpu, kaiten, higanbana, gekko, meikyo, shifu, yukikaze, kaiten, Midare

Should be using it off cd anyways

remember to apply higanbana as soon as its finish
