Hi guys, I just re-subscribed to the game but I keep getting this preventing me from downloading it.

solemn shard
remote lintel
on what platform
solemn shard
Windows
remote lintel
and what platform did you buy the game on
queen cove
If you bought it on steam, you have to launch it through steam
faint flare
Are you opening from Steam or the launcher
granite swan
Anyone done "King of the Hull" How do i get Mistbeards Coffer? Beat the instance but still no coffer
solemn shard
Oh ok I was using the launcher from their site
twilit arch
You get the coffer upon exiting the instance
granite swan
Ah
solemn shard
Opening the game with steam works 🙂 thanks guys
prime lark
Hello, new here. Which group should I contact to complete the 'Foxy Lady' Fate in Yanxia? Apparently there's a 48 hour timer, no sure how to check that data. Trying to get the Tamamo headgear (fox ears)
granite swan
Woohoo, finally remembered to do my Egi by any other name quest and can make my summons Carbuncles :p
prime lark
Oh awesome 😊 thanks!!
queen cove
If you’re not on aether, ask around for a link shell that deals with hunts etc
solemn shard
Ok now that the game is installing the next big question is does anyone have recommendations for a specific reshade profile? 😄
mossy flower
can you still get the regalia car mount?
faint flare
No
queen cove
No
mossy flower
shit
prime lark
Thanks for the help TayTay
queen cove
If they ever rerun it then maybe, but it happened last year so it wouldn’t be anytime soon
Yeah for sure!
Just make sure you set your role to tamamo
So you can see the ping, should be under Fates
prime lark
Cool.
mossy flower
i was playing during the event but i wasnt 50 pain
granite harness
materia is socket gems i assume?
solar surge
So, my friend bought Shadowbringers awhile back on Steam, w/ the FFXIV starter addition. Mog Station says they never installed it, and that they need to buy it again. They can't buy it as it's already in their library. So they go to the CD Keys for FFXIV, get the code for Shadowbringers, and input it into "Enter Code Item", and submit, but it says that the code is invalid. Is it possible the code expired? And what can they do to get it, since they can't buy it on the Steam library?
(In the Mog Station, it says they have to buy Stormblood/Shadowbringers)
faint flare
Yes yug
proud willow
it shouldn't be possible for the code to expire
warped nest
first of all, buying on steam doesn't automatically register it to mogstation
twilit arch
also "Enter item code" is not the correct place for cd key
solar surge
Okay, thank you. Where do we enter CD key then?
warped nest
it should be register ... something
twilit arch
There should be an "Enter expansion code" option
granite harness
ok so i just finished my lvl 15 class quest there's should grab one of the 3 piece that have socket slots or the chest piece
warped nest
materia / socket doesn't matter until you are max level
solar surge
Thank you, it worked. Much appreciated guys <3
granite harness
will the headgear is lvl 16 req and has to socket slots
faint flare
Look at the item level
warped nest
again... doesn't matter if the gear has slots or no slots
faint flare
Which is just above the level requirement
granite swan
Hm just thought of something, if i use my Fantasia, will it let me change my Face Bone/Tail on Au Ra?!? 🧐
Or do i have to pick another race?
warped nest
what's important is the primary stat
faint flare
Materia is ignorable until cap...below cap it doesn't matter much
proud willow
You can use a Fantasia to change as much or as little as you want
wispy parcel
materia slots dont matter until endgame level shit
granite swan
Well, wasnt sure if it forced a race change or not :p
warped nest
so, get the highest primary stat increase:
strength for gladiator, lancer, marauder, pugilist
intelligence for arcanist, thamaturge
mind for conjurer
dexterity for archer, rogue
twilit arch
think of it less of a race change and more of a character re-edit potion
faint flare
No fantasia just takes you back to character creation
twilit arch
like you can race change if you want, but you don't have to
faint flare
In a short sense
granite harness
yea they both give +2 str and dex
warped nest
it is easier to call it race-change because it is like a carry over term from other MMO
either or tbh
don't over think optimization this early
just pick based on highest item level (which usually give more primary stat)
odd plank
hello I decided to buy the game on steam and it only comes up with this. its been an hour and no progress. Sorry if this is a dumb question but is this normal?
mossy flower
im pretty sure it should download it fast since your only downloading the launcher
odd plank
hmm...
mossy flower
then on the launcher it downloads the actual game
lavish vortex
How many coins can you get per week from the puppets bunker?
wispy parcel
its harder than most DPS at high level
mossy flower
@odd plank
twilit arch
personally, i don't find it hard but it can be a bit overwhelming at first
wispy parcel
cause they have so many oGCD's to keep track of
tender hull
I find its rotation fun
odd plank
i think steam is just down in my area right now

tender hull
Things will just get more complex
odd plank
@twilit arch I did do the free trial
lavish vortex
Hmmm if I have to keep track of too many oGCD, then it’s not for me maybe... there’s too much going on with mechanics already (I’m doing savage content)
odd plank
thank you :]
wispy parcel
Summoner at high level is basically a DoT mage, ur summons do most of the damage while you make sure to keep all ur DoT's on the enemy.
if played well they can do as much DPS as a SAM or BLM
simple pine
how does cross world whisper work
it doesnt work half the time, saying char not found
lavish vortex
I play BLM, but it gets interrupted a lot with mechanics in current savage tier
So I’m doing all the content as dancer
vestal pelican
hello yet again friends. if i'm solely running laps at the diadem is it worth to buy new gear every 10 levels from the vendors?
twilit arch
not really, imo
twilit arch
unless you feel like you're really in dire need of the upgrade
vestal pelican
i mean these are my options at lv20 gathering with lv9 gear lol
should probably google and see if it ever changes
twilit arch
iirc it doesn't really, but its been a while since i stepped into diadem
if nothing else, can just grab sets at like 51/61/71. those should hold you fine
granite swan
So apparently summoner pet can be "Locked out" of boss fights ... i spent half the first boss without my pet cuz he was just chillin outside the gate lmao

You can just resummon them
odd plank
Thank you so much @twilit arch !! That actually worked.
twilit arch
good to hear
granite swan
@proper cipher True, but i just found it hilarious they could get locked out :p
hearty acorn
Is there a way to download the game faster? i normally download at 7.5 mb but the launcher is going at 1mbps
zinc orbitBOT
novel jolt
Sorry for bothering. Anyone can hook my friend and me into a party together? Thanks in advance!
lavish vortex
Whats the easiest and fastest way to get ventures?
twilit arch
grand company seals
lavish vortex
And fastest way to get company seals?
twilit arch
@hearty acorn unfortunately i don't know of any way to speed up the launcher. afaik its always been a bit...finicky for some people.
assuming sergeant second class or higher, turning in old dungeon gear
proper cipher
Sell dungeon gear
lavish vortex
Already done that lol any other way?
twilit arch
go solo something like the aery or the vault unsync
and pick up all the gear, turn in for seals, repeat until you're tired
lavish vortex
Nice, thanks!!!
obsidian patio
I like Sohm Al too for the nice scenery
proper cipher
One of the roullettes gives a bunch as well
obsidian patio
But yeah, any of the level 51-59 dungeons are very easy to solo at 70-80
mossy flower
where to join a free company?
distant palm
Literally first time player, never played before. Downloading the trial as we speak and looking excited to test it out.
What recommendations do you have?
proper cipher
If you see any quests with a 
these unlock more stuff.
So they're always worth picking up.
Farming Mobs for xp isn't a thing in this game Quests and dungeons are where you get the majority of exp from
quasi widget
do the hall of the novice before the first dungeon
warped nest
@distant palm ummmm.... Most of the initial setting like race, deity, etc are just flavors
Ehhh, you can play everything on 1 character
tardy patio
why are a ton of the phantasmagoria crafting materials super expensive right now? Were the new relics datamined to require them?
warped nest
And stats come from gears, not your character. So your character never get any stat growth. This is nice in that:
A you can play mages and tanks and DPS without worry about being suboptimal from your character stats
B no need to worry about optimization on low level
twilit arch
new crafting/gathering gear
warped nest
Read tooltips of your skill
Contents are almost always gated by your story progression, story quests are marked by this 
icon
proper cipher
The game does a pretty good job of explaining most overworld mechanics as longas you read the info that pops up when it first appears.
But yeah.
MSQ gets you a lot of experience and is required completion to unlock more stuff.
formal condor
:/I compleled quest line and <go west,craftsman>but new custom delivery quest doesnt appear
west spruce
@formal condor do all ! in the firmament
warped nest
@distant palm final tips, don't worry about making mistakes, and don't be shy on asking questions.
Oh, the combat class in this game are categorized into three major group : tank, healer, Dps. They all do damage, tank and healer just have more tools to do more stuff. And all of them are beginner friendly, don't be afraid of picking a tank or a healer if you want to try one
formal condor
include that yellow quest:o?
west spruce
yes
vague narwhal
dark knight or gunbreaker?
warped nest
Dark Knight has more cool sword to pick for glamour
west spruce
new gnb relic is pretty cool tho
warped nest
Gunbreaker plays more like a DPS.
Keyword is more
If your eye is set on GNB relic, that's fine too
vague narwhal
do all skills share cooldown?
or is there more skill activating in dark knight playstyle?
warped nest
Weaponskill and Spell shared cooldown
obsidian patio
All actions labelled as Weaponskill and Spells share a cooldown
warped nest
That's why they are also referred as Global Cooldown, GCD
obsidian patio
Abilities have separate recast timers and can be used between GCDs
vague narwhal
oh ok
granite swan
Do summoners get any kind of off-hand? Annoying me i have a empty item slot :p
vague narwhal
and when do i get to pick my job?
static yacht
@granite swan no
zinc orbitBOT
granite swan
Ah, rip
vague narwhal
can i switch from glad to ninja or?
warped nest
@granite swan only PLD, crafter, and gatherer have off hand
Low level mages (Conjurer and Thamarturge) do, but that's a left over from 1.X
static yacht
they don't even give int stats too so they're pretty useless tbh
warped nest
And those are not applicable once your mages are beyond level 50
@vague narwhal rogue become Ninja
Rogue you can unlock in Limsa Lominsa
vague narwhal
oh yeah
warped nest
Bottom floor
vague narwhal
so i can switch from glad to rogue then to ninja?
proper cipher
You can play all classes on one character
zinc orbitBOT
Disciples of War for Mikoto Kamijou
warped nest
ALL of it

Getting to level 30 as rogue will get you a quest that upon completions gives you a soul crystal that turns you to ninja

There are 7 expansion jobs
With different unlock requirements
4 of them are just level
eager pecan
Can you earn mgp by playing mahjong?
tranquil sentinel
Haven’t played in a while but what is the name of the ACT overlay that looks really nice... kind of vague but there was someone making a really good looking overlay
@fiery acorn We'll just go ahead and say it was mine, "Ember." 😏 If you say that's not it, my feelings will be crushed btw.
warped nest
Other 3 need you to be in an expansion region
distant palm
@warped nest I played healer/tank in World Of Warcraft, so how does this game stack up in regards to role requirements?
obsidian patio
@eager pecan only from the challenge log
static yacht
@distant palm for dungeons
obsidian patio
The reasoning was due to gambling laws IIRC
static yacht
2 dps 1 tank 1 healer
for 8 person raids 2 tanks 2 healers 4 dps
for 24 person raids see above x3
warped nest
Side note: since you are from wow, the key difference is, if it isn't mentioned already, there is no spec in this game
warped nest
24 person raid is 3 party, each party is 1 tank 2 healer 5 Dps
static yacht
is to have 1 melee/1ranged/1caster
and that literally only gives you a 5% stat buff
granite swan
What rank do i gotta be to do Maelstrom Hunts?
warped nest
The only really bad thing is to have duplicates (like 2 white Mage for example) , and that's only on the harder content
It is whatev on everything else
distant palm
Side note: since you are from wow, the key difference is, if it isn't mentioned already, there is no spec in this game
@warped nest So I can play the quest/story line type of quests using, say, a caster-type class, and then for dungeons swap to a healer role?
Or say, play story/quest as a rogue-type class, and switch to tank for dungeons?
vague narwhal
i cant find the quest to get the chocobo mount
whats this grand army thing i need to be apart of
solid crypt
what do yall use your poetics on if every class is at 80?
formal condor
to craft anima
distant palm
@distant palm you can play all jobs on one character
@warped nest That's quite confusing 😂 I'm so used to just maining a tank 😆
static yacht
each "job" has a different level
warped nest
That's fine too
static yacht
thats why you can have every job on one character
proper cipher
Each class levels seperately
static yacht
its the same character
granite swan
@vague narwhal part of main story, once u get far enough u have to pick 1 of 3 companies, u get mount quest from whichever one you pick
vague narwhal
oh ok
static yacht
but that's cause you level up the CLASS not the JOB
@dire hawk 3 for shirt i can't remember for skirt
quasi widget
what do yall use your poetics on if every class is at 80?
@solid crypt you can stockpile mats for old relic weapons if you want to quickly dump them. otherwise not much
crimson notch
Hi. i completed the Gladiator lvl 30 job quest, but i cant see the paladin queest from the Gladiator room in Ul'dah? can someone help?
distant palm
Okay so, does the level make your character weaker, or the armour?
faint flare
You need to do more story to pass Slyph management msq @crimson notch
static yacht
both
granite swan
@crimson notch Need to be a certain ways into MSQ
warped nest
Level let your character wear stronger armor
proper cipher
So if you hit level 40 as DPS you can do a level 40 dungeon as a Black Mage for example
But not as a white mage
static yacht
and if you aren't the correct job you cannot equip the armor
certain jobs share armor
crimson notch
ohhh. i see thank you.
static yacht
IE: All the tanks share armor
so if you have a dark knight + warrior they can wear the same armor
only if they are the same level
warped nest
Aside from job exclusive armors, most role generally share armors/accessories
distant palm
Ah right!
So say, I choose a dps role to level to say, level 60 (max trial level I think)
and decide I want to continue the level 60 content as a tank.
Would I have to go back and level to 60 in my new role, or..?
warped nest
Yes
static yacht
yes
craggy leaf
i wanted to ask about that one trail where u fight the moyai 🗿 looking ass boss
static yacht
though
faint flare
Yes, unless its dark knight or Gunbreaker
static yacht
certain jobs don't start at level 1
faint flare
Who starts higher than 1
craggy leaf
whats the strategy exactly other than hitting it until it dies
distant palm
so I could technically level all jobs to max trial rank before continuing?
proper cipher
Yes
faint flare
With Gunbreaker starting at.66
warped nest
Think of Job Level as weapon proficiency, if that analog is more familiar to you
static yacht
you could
proper cipher
You could literally do almost 100%of the content in ARR and HW before upgrading from trial
craggy leaf
yes i think it’s called temple of qaran or so
warped nest
@distant palm take note that you can only access 3 of the 7 expansion jobs
craggy leaf
something*
warped nest
As free trial only includes the Heavensward expansion
The other 4 are in the other two expansion
proper cipher
@distant palm Content in what way?
craggy leaf
really? this one guy was complaining in the chat sayingg we’re doing it wrong lmao
craggy leaf
i thought there was something to do with the platforms
faint flare
Hit the thing, kill heads on platform and kill screws
warped nest
Kill it on the platform
faint flare
Thats it
warped nest
So they stay dead
vivid thorn
is Sohr Khai harder than the Antitower?
warped nest
They are not talking about the mini boss with 2 big hands
obsidian patio
Ehh, dungeons in general usually sit around the same relative difficulty
distant palm
As free trial only includes the Heavensward expansion
@warped nest Not a problem, I've played a lot of FF recently on the PS4, so I know I'm going to upgrade anyway ;)
Is there any references or content in relation to any of the old /recent games?
vivid thorn
for someone that just got started playing it, dungeons may not be as uniform in difficulty
obsidian patio
Though the last boss of Sohr Khai can definitely kill unsuspecting players easier
distant palm
thats fantastic
So XIV is technically in it's own arch/universe?
faint flare
We call this a Theme park mmo for a reason
static yacht
yep
faint flare
Yes
warped nest
Don't forget that FF games always shares stuffs
Like there's Cid
Materia
Etc etc
In different format
obsidian patio
Yes. All references to other FFs are purely references
obsidian patio
Even the big ones like Ivalice/Rabanastre
faint flare
Several references and lots of memes
warped nest
More direct references would be the alliance raids (24 players)
faint flare
Cause god damn it koji
distant palm
That's cool
warped nest
The Stormblood 8 player raid is a big pot of refrences
shut kelp
hey, whats the barding for the floating weapons?
warped nest
We have Kefka, Phantom Train (I think that's the name), Exdeath etc etc
shut kelp
whats it called?
faint flare
The new barding from the New EX
distant palm
This is cool!
Should I focus on just mashing quests then?
warped nest
is your story quest
faint flare
Story and job quests are top priority
distant palm
okay
warped nest
is quests with unlockable
distant palm
they seperate?
faint flare
Yes
warped nest
Yes
distant palm
unlockable as in?
warped nest
Job quest are their own story line
distant palm
like new addition to my account/class/etc?
idle sentinel
Dungeons or other in game things like hunts , hard versions etc
proper cipher
If you want to level quickly yes. But really just do what you find fun.
As above MSQ unlocks the majority of stuff. Or at least the ability to access stuff
warped nest
Unlock other classes, unlock optional dungeons
I don't want to be rude, all of of these makes sense once you start playing
So don't worry about taking down detailed notes
distant palm
I'm gonna jot this on a sticky note, because when I play games I like to unlock... everything. Skipping unlockable content just feels wrong
warped nest
XD
distant palm
😂
distant palm
no problem, I get. It's just downloading atm 😛
warped nest
Not some single player RPG with permanent missable because you forgot to buy a flower from a NPC
proper cipher
The game gives a lot of tooltips and pop up info boxes Which explain things fairly well
idle sentinel
I've literally gone back and unlock stuff I missed 150+h in
distant palm
Not some single player RPG with permanent missable because you forgot to buy a flower from a NPC
@warped nest the pain! 😂
static yacht
tbh I just rushed to 70 (back when the limit was 70) to go back and do old content
it substantially becomes easier to do stuff when you're above the level required
distant palm
so, its more Guildwars2 than wow, is what I'm getting
solar surge
For the friend code bonuses, do I get them or does my friend? The friendship bracelet doesn't do much if I'm already past level 25
warped nest
Can anyone link the Main Scenario Guide UI pic here so Lauriston know what it looks like?
distant palm
Do races give any extra stats/abilities or bonuses?
faint flare
No
proper cipher
Nope
static yacht
@solar surge the person who did not put in the code gets the bonuses
solar surge
Okay, ty
faint flare
Not relevant ones
distant palm
Not relevant ones
@faint flare but thereare some, or are they just cosmetic?
proper cipher
Everything in Character creation is purely aesthetic or flavour
static yacht
the only character race limitations AFAIK atm are
faint flare
There's like 1 or 3 points differences that LITERALLY do nothing
static yacht
- There's a certain house in a certain area that only a certain race can go in
faint flare
Due to stat tiering
wispy parcel
the race stats were calculated, they effect legit 0.0000001% of your stats
static yacht
and inside that house is literally like 1'x1' across
its not very big
- Certain races cannot wear hats
proper cipher
There used to be minor differences for the absolute min-maxers but that was changed I believe
distant palm
the race stats were calculated, they effect legit 0.0000001% of your stats
@wispy parcel noted.
Just, I'm quite a serious endgame type of person
warped nest
Vinyl, can you Google and grab Main Scenario Guide UI and show it to Lauriston
granite harness
can u delete class sets that ive made?
static yacht
@distant palm crit RNG will determine your damage more than stats at the higher high high min-max scale more than race 100% of the time
distant palm
- Certain races cannot wear hats
@static yacht no. I cant deal 😂
faint flare
proper cipher
@granite harness Yes
lofty raptor
any one helping on savage raids for new players?
warped nest

Cities are small chunk of maps
The open world are many different big maps joined together

Thanks @warped nest much appreciated, Ive sent you a friend request because I have to go now.
Ill be back tomorrow, so thanks all for the help!

ok
vague narwhal
how long would it take to get sealss for chocobo insurance?

You go find leves respective for your level, which would be in kugane and do those
Click the company flag in your hunting log

click on your grand company icon in the hunting log menu

They're basically repeatable quests

hey so im just getting into the game again, are there any servers in eu that are recommended for english players?

@leaden ginkgo I would pick a class that shares the same gear/stats, so they can level together and you get to pick which one you like more
neon anvil
ahh ok thanks
leaden ginkgo
:3 i'm already level 22 in conjuring...aaaaah should i have started my second class when i started the game?
low sun
You can do all jobs (classes) on one character, it doesnt really matter
faint flare
Or ignore it entirely
low sun
If you want DPS and Heal both at the same time, you might wanna look into Arcanist, cause it evolves into Summoner (DPS) and Scholar (Heal) who share the same XP progress
But that feature is unique to Arcanist
leaden ginkgo
I like this system, reminds me of FF tactics

@low sun Yeah
leaden ginkgo
make sure you have the latest drivers

@solemn shard if you use nvidia inspector there are a few settings that reduced thew flickering a lot (for me), i'll see if i can find them

if you do, check if your graphics card supports DX11

Are there bosses that specifically target genders? I swear the Stone Vigil Hard boss did nothing but target me lol
faint flare
No
Some bosses may target specific roles like dps or healer on certain mechanics but otherwise its random who they target with stray aoes
low sun
ugh cant find the thread anymore
faint flare
Oh and occasionally based on ranged
granite swan
Ah, cause i was 3rd one in and tank agroed it and the boss was like ... newp imma eat the summoner who hasnt done anything yet lol

Oh third boss in Stone vigil hard LITERALLY has no aggro table
It does whatever it wants
Regardless of aggro
radiant sierra
are there any preferred worlds right now?

The entire point of that boss is pay attention to where its going and avoid its aoes by the tells it does
Yes there is, you can check on the server status page

ok thank you
granite swan
Ah
faint flare
Or use the "!preferred DATA CENTER NAME" in #kupo-bot-spam

@solemn shard if you use nvidia inspector, change the values that are in black to what they say, it reduced the flickering a TON for me https://imgur.com/a/ufB6zpi

@low sun Cool I'll give that a try its 100% an AA issue, FXAA is notorious for this kind of stuff

yes, unfortunately its impossible to force proper AA due to the extremely weird deferred renderer ff14 uses

what do i have to buy to get the whole game
Kinda confusing since everything up to shadowbringers is "trial" now

@eager pecan same thing as always: Starter edition and Shadowbringers

@solemn shard you can also force the game to render the screen in double your resolution and then downscale it (nvidia DSR), but it only works in full screen, which i find too annoying

@low sun That might be pushing the upper limits of my GPU at that point (1070 ti). Once I get an RTX 30 series card I could probably pull that off

Yea true, not sure if the gpu is up for it or how demanding ff14 gets

Its not super demanding but the reshade is
I find the base game is very washed out and desaturated which is very strange
reshade fixes that for me

anyone one of these

if you have restoration unlocked then diadem. if not, collectables if 50+. if neither of those are available, grind on a material that you can sell or need for future quest

gerolt is 430

heya, leveling a WHM rn at lvl 62. I feel like when I do dungeons now the tank always gets low as hell no matter what I spam on him, and then I have to use ogcds just to keep him at a decent health. And if I try and do any of the bigger heals, he ends up losing more health than gained because of the cast time. Is this normal, or am I missing something?
sage plaza
gear up to date? tank gear up to date? you're using cure II? how big are the pulls the tank's doing?
tank using mitigations?
solemn shard
How do I copy my UI settings and keybinds from one character to another?
twilit arch
ogcds should be the first thing you rely on to heal
sage plaza
it's not unheard of for a max pull to require you to essentially chain cast cure II with tetra and benison on cd
proven sparrow
am i missing something or can i seriously not assign capslocks+1-8 for hotbars/party targeting?
is it assigned to something else by default?
twilit arch
@solemn shard assuming you haven't change the default path. C:\Users\yourusernamehere\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn and then find the appropriate FFXIV_CHA## of the ui you want to copy, copy the dat files and then paste them into the FFXIV_CHAR folder of the alt character
They're very good for levelling, though restoration is a bit less painful since you can plop down in one spot

@twilit arch Thanks that worked!
twilit arch
i mean, shouldn't really need to spam heals unless your tank is being dumb and not using cds properly
twilit arch
but yes, you should be weaving your ogcds to heal first then rely on your lily gcds and then finally cure 2 if you absolutely need to gcd heal

Anything that occurs daily in the game resets at the same time every day

Allegory for Crystarium gear yes, these are i490 and can be augmented and reach i500
Phanstamagoria can be used to purchase crafting materials and sold on Marketboard for gils (do your research and see what sells)
Alternatively, Phanstama can be used to buy items to trade for Augmented Neo Ishgardian gear

So I'm pretty much new and wanted to know does, racial stats/attributes/etc. really matter? Like, I plan to start off as Pugilist>Rogue>Ninja and mix it up with NIN & SAM mostly but I'm trying to balance lore friendly, best attributes/racial stats on creating a character here. Just need some help/info so I can finally decide what I'll go with.
rugged nimbus
Does the preferred server status confer any benefits in addition to the increased exp gain? I think I remember it having other benefits years ago
race doesn't matter
warped nest
@frank kestrel doesn't matter at all
There's no stuff like racial bonus
Or stat growth from playing a specific job
If you want to be very lore accurate
You might want to drop by #archived-lore-spoilers
@karmic niche nope

Your gear will get those stat

You don't need to do the run around and figure out what is the best stat for your job
