Limsa is nearest the Aftcastle aether, near the exit to middle la noscea

Use that command in #kupo-bot-spam in the future to find out for yourself
ok
Whats Jumbo Cactpo?
weekly loto ticket
ah
pick four numbers and be disappointed when you dont match
is there a 70-80 alt guide?
Not really but its pretty simple
Do Pixie quests every day
Do daily hunts from the board in Crystarium
Do roulettes
once you're out of all of those, run highest dungeon you can
If for whatever reason your queue for said dungeon would be ~20+ minutes
use Trusts
Felt like i was experiencing some Game of Thrones /peak Suikoden 2 moments in the last parts of ARR to Heavensward.
Will we have more of these going to stormblood/shadowbringers? or is this just a one off? gotta say FFXIV has good story if this keeps up.
pixie quests repeat dungeons and roulettes
Its certainly not the last time that major events happen if that's what you're asking.
Heavensward and Shadowbringers story is amazing
What rank do trusts unlock?
70
In fact, the ARR story is probably the "weakest" of the four. So it only gets better from where you are.
@crude marten imo it just gets better and better so you're in for a treat :D
Ohoho good tidings then
shadowbringers doesnt really have like intricate multiple plot threads and tons of characters at once like GoT, its a bit different
in my opinion heavensward was unbeatable though
ARR msq suck...
Rank 70? Is it not through GC? or is that different?
noo those are grand company squadron things
I love the politics and war, showing the darkness of man. Think its one of the draws of Rpgs and gundam/mecha for me
to unlock those just rank up a gc
Trusts are a ShB feature.
Oh, rip
wait you love the politics too, you're definetly in for a treat haha
To see it in high fantasy is a treat
Yeah you'll like HW for sure then
and stormblood
trusts first instance is the lv71 dungeon
@granite swan youd like this feature which I think you're talking about
is the best thing you can buy (gear wise) with peotics the level 70 gear?
Awesome. To be honest i saw the Heavensward trailer and the Dragoon closing its helmet like a gundam was all it took.
I bought the whole collection LOL
haha, the dragoons are badass
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
Is there any non-localized translation that I can look at? It's killing me how much I'm missing out due to localization
think its just bonus xp tbh
is there a way to auto stack items in my retainer's inventory?
@leaden ginkgo That looks nice, to bad im Trial, so no go for it 😦
Does anyone know roughly when next patch is?
@leaden ginkgo nope. fastest way is to pull them all out and put them back in.
does Aether currently have a preferred server? Not seeing it a star on the list
they're all the same color
I actually had to look on the website for server status to find preferred lol
@rugged nimbus Sargatanas
^
Refer to https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/ for info on this.
np
Early level dragoon is too painful to play
not really too useful
you could slidecast or use firestarter/thundercloud to move
i swear i heard something about a nier flight unit mount
aight
Is shield bash even useful?
With the road to 70 buff, how is it counted? Does it go 90 days from when you started the game, or 90 days after the server was removed from preferred?
not worth wasting the GCD to use shield bash when low blow is a thing
You know its time for bed when you spend 20 min running around Gridania lookin for the Botanist Guild ...
Yikes
Basically not useful
Btw i can't find how to show party debuff on target
It only show my debuff which is not useful at all when in dungeons
with the demi crystal nerf, what else can i spend poetics on?
finished ARR, doin other stuff till im ready for HW
are there indicator that show if iam in rest zone or no
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue in it?'
That's Rested experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
are Poetics only lv 50 gear and Phantasmagria lv 60?
I just created a new character and went through the first quest to see people. i cannot buy a boost/scenario skip for some reason though. it keeps giving me an error and i cant even get the chance to enter my info to buy it. do i need to do more in game to be able to or something wrong?
You see for the 'A Soul Without Life' quest for Anima Weapons, do you have to do a fate as the quest you're going for, ie, you have to grind the fates on DRK or the luminous crystals wont drop, or can you farm them on say, pally?
Aight cool, 'cause I want the DRK weapon, but I also want to level my pally
What's the drop rate roughly?
@simple shore Guess i shoulda asked that before .... almost 60 and buyin lv 50 gear >.<
im not too sure. last time I got pretty lucky and only one took over ten fates
I just buy the weapons
Any good ways to level up a alt job?
okay, this is messed up ... it looks like my char has a slave collar on O.O
You can buy the anima weapons? 🤔
Because it look better
I only care about the appearance
Is your necklace
Or you talking about somethin' else
Ya choker of casting lol
those duties are locked in party finder because you haven't unlocked htem so therefore you cannot join them
I have a nice question
I've read about How to spend Poetics, question is:
I just started Heavensward but I'm already Level 60, I was wondering if I'm close to the L60 Poetics vendor, or if I'm very far from it.
Now be a good lil girl and you wont get ... bzzt ... again.
someone pls help me understand the logic of having a flying mount roulette when all mounts basically fly..
like how it is for Revenants Toll gated so very far from the beginning of the game
the logic is that most mounts used to be unable to fly
hey question am i able to turn of my mount music so i can chill and listen to this dope map music instead?
@frosty badger there is no logic. Its a leftover of when that wasnt a thing that they havent removed yet.
Yes
is it like this for Idyllshire?
@ivory pewter
Idyllshire is inaccessible until you're on the level 58 MSQs
so I can spend my Poetics now for Lvl50 gear if im still very far from the L60 shop
thank you @simple shore this shadow bringer music is killing it out here
is there a weekly limit on edenverse loot?
but i can get only 1 item per clear, right? even if i need on all
i think it's possible to get more than one
hmm guess i had bad luck this time then
Are all two-seat mounts from the store?
Not all of them
these pieces are called tokens
the same tokens drop from each fight, but in different quantities
whats the average time span to get from 70-80 on alt job
actually there are a few tokens that only drop from 3 of the 4 fights. There's a chart you can look up
but they are all tokens for the same 480 gear
yup
Is there any point in keeping lower level weapons if you dont plan to glamour them?
if said weapons are leveling weapons then i dont see a reason to keep
Just noticed my weapon bag is full of mostly books and since that class/job shares level ... :p time to burn some books!
i mean yes armory space for weapon is scarce and always needs to be clean
Is there anyway to have chat bubbles above peoples heads?
Nope
darn
Can people in the free trial use the Duty Finder?
Yes
Okay, thank you
I’m with the twin adder. Is the quartermaster in gridania the only place to spend company seals on?
feels like it queing for leveling DR
is there a recommendation for which edenverse to farm? im in full i445 gear, with some neo
yes
Tks
how do I disengage form a striking dummy?
if you right-click the name, there should be a Reset Enmity option
so after finishing my first moonfaire event I got 5 tokens. yet the next time I joined the fate I got nothing.
is there a specific npc I need to talk to before doing it again?
I think you have to finish the quest before you can get tokens from repeating the Fate
how do I disengage form a striking dummy?
@frozen karma right click the striking dummy and "reset enmity"
I thought I finished it after getting my first 5 tokens O_O

ill check if there is any walkthrough guide
Is there any thing daily I can get or a daily spin for free stuff that day?
Where can I get a two seat?
Where can I get a two seat?
@slate crow theres the draft chocobo from recruit a friend, theres the marriage chocobo from getting married, theres grinding 2000 mentor roulettes, there was the ffxv crossover event like a year ago, theres a mount drop for eden 4 savage
so after finishing my first moonfaire event I got 5 tokens. yet the next time I joined the fate I got nothing.
@hot crane you have to provide more contribution to the fate to get the full reward (15 tokens)
Is there any thing daily I can get or a daily spin for free stuff that day?
@fickle jackal no there isn't any sort of daily spin deal
Whoa, whoa whoa...I get a two seater for getting married? Who wants to get hitched?
That's not actually free
@little swift yeah I think I finished the quest
you have to buy the marriage thing with RL money
by that I think u mean I have to do it right from the beginning of fate
you can do the fate without the quest
But but I subscribe...😔
and I think the upcoming new yokai watch mount might be a two seater
you just need to do more in the fate
The only "truly free" two seaters are the mentor one, the e4s one, and the ffxv crossover one. I highly suggest you forget the mentor one.
but thats like 300hours of grinding fates
ffxv event will come back some day
im at like 400 mentor roulettes. its not that bad actually
How am i suppose to pick up cat girls if I pull up on my company Chocobo..
Go for the cute Dragon Girls 
Hey is it unusually for a phantasia vial to take more than an hour to arrive?
sometimes delivery for paid items can take a bit of time
double check that your payments have gone through in your bank payments (or whatever avenue you've used) as well
after taht
i'm confused as to how to unlock leves - i'm in uldah, could anyone point me in the right direction
Ohh I see, i bought vials before and they usually took around 10. Ive gotten the confirmation email and the right character too
go to your mail and check using the request items button
is there anyway to buy hi-potions and such
Technically yes, but that wouldnt really be a good use of money?
Yep done that a few times as well 😦 Oh well
Healing potions in general (with the exception of the POTD one for solo POTD runs) are pretty meh.
im about halfway into heavensword and my chocobo isnt high enough rank to be a good healer
What job
me?
Yes
summoner
Just use Titan when you're solo if you're having trouble.
do i need to change crystals for taht
No
titan-egi
Summon II pulls out Titan
has a shield
if you then use Egi Assault 1
you'll get a shield for 20% of your max HP
err
30%
So you're....pretty unkillable unless you just pull a bazillion things
im just using ifrit cuz ppl say ifrit is taht best
Yes. But when you're solo Titan has its uses
especially solo if you need to
any mounts that come with digital upgrades other than fat chocobo?
flying nimbus
That's not the question he was asking, i dont think
the collectors upgrades all come with mounts
i'm confused as to how to unlock leves - i'm in uldah, could anyone point me in the right direction
@keen fable depending on your starting city, the levequests prerequisitestarts in the inn space of your relevant starting city. then you go to the first are to complete it
Since I doubt I’ll be doing Ixal beast tribe, what are their mounts?
oh yes collector sorry
ARR is Behemoth, HW is a Griffin, SB is Syldra, and ShB is Grani
question items lvls confuse me i have item lvls of 110 and idk how or when ill ever equip them
If i'm remembering it right
I might be wrong on ARR but i'm 99% sure im right about the other three
@still iris elaborate. what is confusing about it.
there is stuff that is high item lvl i cant equp
ilvl has nothing to do with if you can wear it
^
ah ok that makes sense
if the 3 letter acronyms are red, you cant wear it, basically
on your current job, anyway
So is there no other way to get Syldra? I love FFV
I think that's the only way to get Syldra, yes
afaik its not on the cash shop as a standalone item
it is not
So if I upgraded to collectors, I’d get Grani since I already have ShB?
Collectors is expansion specific
you can upgrade whichever expansion you want to get its collectors package
so if you want Syldra you can just go buy the upgrade to SB
@little swift what if i dont remember the starting city
$20, tho 🤔
@keen fable check the inns for a
that says "Leves of X"
and do that first one
you'll have to do a similar one at every are you go to to unlock new leve level ranges
where do I upgrade crystarium armor piece with the nier raid coins?
k ty
where is camp drybone
Eulmore, Ikea
@still iris Eastern Thanalan
This recent update added the postgame to ShB, right?
it added the last bit of main SHB MSQ
Postgame is what I thought was the colloquial term for the MSQ after the main story since it’s after expansion credits.
Ehhh
I feel like that really only gets used in reference to ARR
for HW/SB/ShB, their "main story" gets wrapped up in the X.3 patch
and then the X.4-X.55 patches are setting up the next expansions
So we don’t get the main story all at once?
@little swift i looked in each inn, i couldn't find any leve quests
Correct. Each major patch adds story to the MSQ
Like, in HW, defeating Nidhogg the first time wasn’t there from the beginning?
should be a bluequest that unlocks leves in your first intro area
Yep
I always thought when the expansion came out, it was start to the end credits. XD
What does squex usually do when there's a game anniversary?
yeah, i can't find any
Well there’s two end credits per expansion
One for beating the leveling story, and one at x.55 for completing the patch story
the rising is game anniversary iirc
Wot?
hmm i'm assuming you're far enough in msq to have leves become available
seasonal event
yeah, i'm at level 40 msq's
and no other areas have a bluequest of any kind?
So is the full leveling story present at the start?
Yes
it wasn't showing up on the map at first
for most seasonal events you do a quest and get stuff like minions, glamour pieces, housing stuff and basically confetti
im trying to find more summoners quest but i cant what do i do
what lvl u at
52
theres a msq indicator
msq?
You can’t do the level 52-60 job quests until you enter heavensward content
are you at ishgard yet
i am in heavensword conent
check old gridania the npc's usually there (?)
then keep doing the MSQ
also what is msq stand for
main story quest
main scenario quest
that
So when the next expansion comes out, we’ll be able to do the 81-90 story straightaway, but the parts after that are added in patches.
Yep
Nice.
Thanks for the clarification.
I thought even the x1-y0 story was fragmented as well at first
Is there some sort of account shared bank?
no there isn't
because there's not really a reason to have alt characters
especially alts on the same server
Well true
My alt is on the same server only because of my FC.
FC?
Oh
man, sargatanas character creation is rough isn't it
Hey can I see all the new NieR Raid glam somewhere ? 
even at 4am it's still closed
Why is it so special?
Hi. short question: With 5.3, is it still required to do collectible stuff to fly everywhere? (Have not unlocked it yet, but was looking forward to fly everywhere at the end of ARR)
So once I can fly, I can do it without bothering about anything anymore? That'd be soo cool
for hw/sb/shb zones to fly you just go around the map and do a few easy quests
for arr they just let you after some part in the msq
Are those simple quests around 1-5 our around 20-40 hours?
Is there a "most profitable" DoH/DoL job? Or are any but Culinarian good for gil?
1-5 for sure
Ok great, thanks! Wouldnt want to repeat that WoW reputation grind

you can just have a friend carry you around if they have flight and a two/four-seater mount
Meh my friends hate the game because ARR (and I cant blame them ^^) so I'm on my own sadly
Hey i need some help, (i'm on free trial) i cannot conect with my character, Farys Mana on the louisoix server, i'm at limsa lominsa and i started the quest about the Housing but i go the Mist at the lower Noscea, but I clicked on the name of a resident to test and now I can no longer connect with my character, the game close by itself
Ah yes, WoW flight unlock. "Fuck off for a year and we might let you have it". FF14 flight unlock will take like.....~15-20 minutes per zone tops outside of the MSQ for that zone.
Assuming you grab stuff as you go past it
@polar depot login again? it happened with me on free trial
Im pretty sure you can find people that would fly you to the aether currents
/shout in limsa works sometimes xd
Either way its a simple process.
and if you're coming from WoW its hardly even worth considering it a "grind"
You get all the aether currents in HW by following the Mainstory anyway
And for SB / ShB you have to "find" them on your own but its not too bad since you can look up the locations online :D
im lv 48, whats teh fastest way to lv 50?
Coming from WoW is a bit of an overstatement. I've started playing with BfA and have not even unlocked flying yet ^^ One of the reasons I fancy with FF14
(not that I hate WoW, I find it pretty fun. But I like trying out stuff)
Have you done your roulettes for the day? if not, do those. If you've done those, queue Aurum Vale
@vestal needle Dailies
It feels like they are missing endgame content and so they make something trivial as flying a hell of a grind (talking about Wow)
Unlocking flying in FFXIV takes 1-2 hours max for each Expansions (SB / ShB)
Thats good to hear, thanks!
wows endgame is m+ and raiding
wow's endgame is hoping for RNG to bless your items otherwise they're useless
FF14 has no such RNG fuckery, thankfully.
very true
Every job has an actual BIS list, and when the item drops, its the item.
But FFXIV's endgame is glam x)
I hope I get to the endgame at some point. Luckily, things start to get interesting now that I've unlocked my Job (Dragoon). Combat feels still like a GCD waiting game. Hope that will change at some point within the next few weeks...
There's only been one time endgame gear has had RNG and that was the eureka weapons
It'll get better once you hit lvl 50-60 as DRG
well the rng is really awful in wow especially with the endgame in BfA until they fixed it but I treally enjoy FF14 with it's drops
@frosty atlas the GCD feels slow on all jobs in the stage of the game you're in. This is enhanced as you get higher and higher and have more oGCD stuff to weave in between your GCD's
what's a better stat for a tank? det or tenacity?
DRG has the slowest GCD of all the melee jobs, doubly so since you don't want SKS in order to not clip your animations
@frosty badger sks to tier > crit > direct hit/det(depending on the job) > everything else, basically
So is there no way to see the new NieR glam except for asking ingame?
Once I've hit Heavensward, I'll also try Machinist, that one looks fun as hell
i was looking at logs
I like dodging and shooting, I guess I can enjoy that one
@polar depot login again? it happened with me on free trial
@finite walrus don't work, i try that many times
and start wondering why monk is still in the game
sks?
Skill speed
Tenacity is so bad that Tank BIS doesnt use a ilvl 500 helm.
Machinist is fun yeah, you can spam a lot since you have 2 OGCD skills
its pretty much like a more complicated and weaker version of SAM
If I want something more interesting till Heavensward, what would you recommend? (I love movement and action instead of standing and animation lock)
has some utility but doesnt justify the dmg difference at all
Monk is the fastest one in A Realm Reborn
are there any monk mains?
Summoner
Hmm
Try out the Summoner @frosty atlas
Ninja is probably your best bet pre-HW if you want mobility
All the other jobs are kinda sorta spagetti due to removed skills and reworks at level 50
but still melee
MNK mobility is a lie beacuse you're actually just doing hardcore positionals
*at level 50 and below
Very mobile high DPS class (once you hit 80 obviously and have all the skills) plus you level two Jobs at the same time (Scholar and Summoner)
Summoner is really interesting, I started playing as an Arcanist, but got really mad because it was so slow. Lancer seemed like a blessing after that.
yeah mnk needs to constantly moving around the boss
Every class is slow up till lvl 50-60 :D
So it seems weird that summoner is that different. But I think I can grind my arcanist to 30 in one day
for like 30 seconds of running around
the damage output is similar to two mederi setsugekko
Its not that different, its slow as well but you're more mobile
pls buff mnk
At least for a mage
all the classes are very slow up until lvl 70 ish
I guess for the sake of pacing, I'll stick to Dragoon and try the Machinist after ARR
Machinist is probably the most mobile job in the game
Don't hype me @simple shore 😄 (Please continue doing so)
He is
especially if you come from action rpgs like blade&soul est
Summoner and Machinist are the most mobile classes
Nah any spark of hope that things get better is good to carry me through ARR, so no problem :p
all the range physical are mobile
The story of heavensward should carry you through ARR x)
for dancers you even have dashes
The story of heavensward should carry you through ARR x)
@quasi mulch That might be the case, but since I don't know the story of Heavensward, that is not a big motivation right now
But all those cool effects and animations and dodgeing in boss fights surely is. Later content looks so damn cool
I mean you should be looking forward to a good story
Thats what got me through ARR
And I played the "pre nerf" (huehue) version of ARR
Yeah, that's where I started too. I'm playing for around 2 weeks now. "Just to get into the game" was my motivation to start before 5.3. I've nearly quit before remembering why I was playing instead of waiting.
Now the EXP gain feels much higher (don't know if placebo?) and more rewarding
if i use focus target on the tank as a healer on controller will my heals go to them if im not targeting a party member or will it still go to me
when is the daily reset?
!daily
@elfin wagon they still default to you.
thx
dang :/
@elfin wagon focus target is just so you keep track of their status
I think this macro works in that it makes you target your focus target
/target <f>
how do I open list of parties?
You can also macro a spell to cast at your focus target, but dont do it unless you know what you're getting yourself into
@frosty atlas The EXP gain is higher because Square revamped ARR with the latest patch
Party Finder...?
yes
What Wynne recommend is fine though
It just target FT
It doesn't do all skill
Open Menu, look around, found Party Finder...?
ill try it out ^^
Personally speaking, (just personal opinion)
A macro just for target your FT is kinda ehhh
If you are on controller
Your party member at most is 4 dpad up or down away, in a 8 player party
I don't think it is worth taking a space off your primary crosshotbar to do this targetting
If you are on keyboard/mouse... Well... If you are clicking a macro anyway... Might as well click select the party member directly
is there anyway to find a lcoation on the map easier with just a name?
i dont mind usin the dpad to target nd stuff it just gets kinda eh after awhile specifically as astro
If it is a quest
You can just click the quest and it should open the map and bring up the location
@elfin wagon have you consider soft targeting?
Again, it is personal opinion
Regarding third party software: Are accessiblity helpers allowed, that do not mess with FF14 game files or memory at all?
I alway like to use AutoHotKey in Tab Targeting MMOs to virtually hold my right mouse button and bind abilities to left and right mouse button (in combination with "target nearest enemy).
Like a semi-action-system. (MMO veterans always hate me for doing so, but I enjoy the games waaay more this way).
Don't want to voilate any rules though...
You are free to make the game experience smooth for yourself
soft targeting ?
AHK is a bit sketchy. I dont think that they can detect you using it, but i wouldnt discuss using it in game (or any other third party modifications/etc.)
because AHK, while not "bad" for what you're describing, is also commonly associated with various varieties of "not okay" things.
wait how come I didn't get any xp on wondrous tails? 
The flow is:
Use skill on enemy
Dpad down to find party member
Press X to lock target
Use another skill
Under soft targeting, you can do:
Use skill on enemy
Dpad down to find party member
Press X to lock
Use another skill
you target back your enemy without doing any input
Think of soft targeting like a peek
For using a single skill on a target (enemy or party member)
oohh yeah thats what ive been doing
ok so i was just checking out new game+ for the first time, and for some reason return to ivalice in chronicles of a new era is missing, even though i cleared that questline
Oh that's nice
Just making sure you are aware of all the options you have at your disposal when playing on controller
@final sandal according to some people you may also need to do the fetch sidequests that want you to give the Dramaturge specific high-quality food
If the /target <ft> macro makes it easy for you, why not
hmm, looks like i have to remember how to get on that ship to check, thanks
go to the airship landing west of the marketplace and there should be an NPC in there
The bacon bread quest?
go carpenter.
what you mean go carpenter
exactly what I said.
Are you a carpenter right now?
you're not carpenter.
is there a delay on macros? when it comes to heals
Yes, macro is very finicky
and the wait function only works in integers, so no stuff like 2.5 or 3.6 or 6.9
only 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.
That's why for combat, we are very reserved on what situations are macros recommended
@warped nest iam carpenter as i understand https://i.imgur.com/x1R9o5c.png
you just have it unlocked
Are you a carpenter right now?
oh dear, it does look like i haven't done "In Bad Taste" yet
you only have it unlocked
you need to equip the mainhand tool.
you need to equip the gear
crafters are their own class entirely with their own stats and gear and actions
You do know that carpenter is not a secondary class
And you can't just use carpeter skill while being a combat job right?
ah i see rip
what a retarded crafting system omg
Seriously?
at least it's better than only ONE race being able to craft everything
It is not what I think so it is retarded?
Crafting also comes with different skills
Gearing
what did you expect it to be like 
to craft something you need to change gear ... only asians in their mmos do shit like that
And even skill rotation
I tried doing a search on here but couldn't find D:
Where can I find my refer a friend code? (sorry if I'm asking in the wrong channel)


Crafting in this game is not one click and stuff get made btw
Just so you don't get mad a few hours later
@lethal ledge click the Recruit-a-friend banner in the mogstation to generate the code
oh my lord
If you wish to learn more about how crafting works
it was up there this whole time
even characters not attached to ground
ty @obsidian patio 
properly
Go to #612757637813239808 and give yourself the dol doh role
And open the leveling guide in #doh-dol-lounge
how does raging slice works?
Are all quests character based? Only completable once? Except the repeatables?
final boss new dungeon attack
@neat stratus yeah
all quests are character based yes
Everything is character based unless otherwise mentioned
@tidal yarrow if that's the one where he charges across the entire arena you need to stand in the holes he makes to dodge it
what expansions are included with the free trial?
nope it's a big sword attack
@tidal yarrow if its the one im thinking of, he just turns in a direction and then shoots it in a line in that direction. So just dont be in front of him.
in a straight line
Heavensward
There's no AoE indicators so just
ah oki
The free trial covers 1-60, which is A Realm Reborn (base game) and Heavensward
Don't stand in front of him
fair enough
how do you get silver scripts
white scrips come from level 78-ish to level 80 collectables
also from custom deliveries when done as a level 80 crafter/gatherer.
Basically, endgame stuff
is there a location where i can find that collectable person to begin the silver script quest?
you don't need to do a quest for white scrips specifically
There is no... Quest
Just to clarify
you keep calling them silver script
which doesnt exist
are you talking about white scrip, or maybe something else?
Okay yes then you mean white scrips
so where the npc i talk to so i can do their collectable quest?
There is no quest
You talk to them
They open a UI
There are stuff you can turn in, and rewards listed there
where can i find one to talk to?
Pretty much any major city has a collectable appraiser
and the endgame hubs
Although in this case, Crystarium/Eulmore would be most sensible for you
Limsa, Ul'Dah, Gridania, Mor Dhona, Idyllshire, Rhalgr's Reach, Eulmore.
given thats where you spend them also

Haven't played in few months like 3-4 months. Was there any big class changes that I should be aware of?
How can i get the bard class?
5.3 was the only major patch in the past 4 months and it didn't have any huge class changes. you can skim the patch notes though
BRD got buffed somewhat. SMN got trivially nerfed. MNK got very slight QoL improvement. WAR became even more smoothbrain than before had Storm's Eye made easier to maintain.
That's the TL;DR on combat job changes
for a link to the class changes in 5.3
Is there anything else I should know about changing GCs? Most searches are several years old
you can't use your squadron until you get back to 2nd lieutenant.
@lone zephyr after you hit 30 and do your level 30 Archer quest, there should be a quest to unlock Bard in the Archer guild (assuming that you've done the story quests up through level 21)
You also have to pay a gil fee for switches past the first one. I think the current cost is like 25k or 50k?
Im just about to name my chocobo if that helps
then it literally doesn't matter to you as you can't switch GCs until you get to 2nd Lieutenant.
Switching GC's is also, functionally, purely a "thematic/cosmetic" thing.
Do I get 3 chocobos across all 3 or something?
you keep it when switching
There's no reason to switch unless you want a glamour from a different one, more or less
you keep the same bird but get different-looking barding for it
So same name, stats, lvl, cosmetic etc.?
yes
Ok, thx!
the chocobo isn't touched at all
Btw, any GC related gears or barding only works if you are still under said GC
So if you swap to immortal, your serpent stuff just stays in your inventory and can't be used
Until you swap back to serpent
Uhh bards can do like, instrument emotes right? Or that's from an event
Glamour still works right?
@foggy viper noooope
How long do you think it will take to level second jobs from 1-70 with the road to 70 buff and the "alt" buff?
how hard can you play?
3-5 days depending on how much per day you can play
if you really want to grind it
Well... It takes around 7 dungeon run ish to get 2 level without big buff
Not really
With Road to 70 and external buffs its not even close to 7
More like 1-2
Dam, should've checked what stuff they had before I picked
I haven't include the buff yet, Bal
Road to 70 itself double every, so 7 run would yield 4 level ish give or take half a level
Plus the occasional rested exp you get and the armory bonus...
Road to 70 doubles those too though
As i said, from 1-70 it will only take 1-2 dungeons per level
@warped nest how many hours then :p ? And not days as that can vary
3 dungeon run, if went smoothly, should be an hour or so total, so 20 mins per dungeon
Ignoring wait time
So if it takes around 80 dungeons to get from lvl 15-70
Uhh bards can do like, instrument emotes right? Or that's from an event
Someone? ; - ;
....your math is still dreadfully wrong
Of very hard dungeon grinding
That's crazy haha :p
15 to 70 is 55 level, you said it is 1-2 run per level
It will be much faster than he is stating
Unless you mean 1 dungeon gives 1-2 level
I mean that early on
you will get multiple levels per dungeon
and later you will get 1 per run
Road to 70 doubles every other bonus also
OK, fine, 8 hours
@lone zephyr that's the performance feature, which is unlocked in Gridania once you have bard unlocked
It was very common for me to be rolling with ~350%-400% bonus
I had like 460% I think on kills below 30
Yup
Below 30 is where its most broken because you can stack the most bonuses at once there
I'm just gonna stick with "over a weekend if you play hard" for my future answers
@obsidian patio Is Archer/Bard pretty decent for early to late game?
all jobs are good.
There's no such thing as a bad job
Well, that’s good to know.

Now is it better to stick to one combat class until 70 or play around in others?
Are you on a preferred server, or not?
I know the story levels you up.
Not yet, I’m waiting on my game to finish.
Downloading*
If you're on preferred, picking up some others is a good idea because you'll outlevel the MSQ like crazy.
But I’ve played before. Been a very long time so I’m trying to refresh.
Yeah, I planned on doing a preferred server.
The biggest downer was not being able to start building a house with my Free Company so after a couple of months we decided to find a low populated server.
I'm not aware of any servers that arent pretty much in zero availability for housing.
So i wouldnt get your hopes up on that aspect

TL;DR SE decided to turn off auto-demolish because of COVID.
Honestly that’s pretty fair.
End result is that there's no housing available anywhere.
Unless you want to go via secondary markets and pay through the nose
In other words, I need to wait it out like everyone else.
I’m not sure which server I’ll join since the other two people I play with will have to transfer.
is there an vsync option in this game?
yo i saw some ppl with a cool looking grimoire for smn, was wondering whats the difference between mimesis lux and mimesis lux replica, and also which i should go for?
mimesis lux has actual stats, but now its still just glamour pieces
replicas are basically stat-free versions that you can easily get after getting the actual version
you'll unlock the replica after unlock that form
!faq anima
oh so i unlock the main one and then i can get replicas for other classes?
no just for that one
you need to upgrade the one you want replicas for
you need to do the 'grind' for each job
but the anima weapons really dont take long nowadays
but whats the point of having more than 1 then
If i buy now the 50% off complete edition, how long can i wait till i activate it in my free account?
@south yarrow I'm not sure if I completely understand what you mean. If you mean having a replica and original of the same thing then you're right there's no point.
Is there any way to get high quality buffalo milk? The vendors only seem to sell normal quality
If i buy now the 50% off complete edition, how long can i wait till i activate it in my free account?
@crimson notch free trial has no time limit, but the max level is 60
But you can only get replicas of previous steps until you complete the whole thing, which would then let you buy a replica of the final step so you can safely toss the final step if you wish.
@opaque maple kill buffalos
Do they drop it?
yeah i meant that, if you're just using them for glamour i dont see the point of replicas
but thanks
Sometimes they can drop HQ milk yes
Ok ty
i didnt get the earring and other stuff
i mean. how long can i wait to use the 50% off code after buying it in the squeenix shop? do i need to use it right away? i want to wait till lvl 60, which may take weeks
i thought the only skin glamour that was so timeconsuming was the yellow bright one with like clocks and stuff, but looks like this one is also haaaaaaaaard to get lol
since i got the relic for 485 weapon pretty easily
the 485 is only easy since that's just the beginning step
for the anima you're looking at the whole thing that was added over the course of the expansion
And even then, Anima is probably the easiest/fastest of the relic series to complete your first time through
(not counting Resistance since it's not done yet)
i dont know how long the code last
game codes don't expire
oh so its the process i see
i see. thank you
until you get to 60
Yeah, so to refer back to the anima guide i linked, the initial steps that were added at the start were the i170, i200, and i210
Hi everyone, newbie question here, sorry if it's been asked a billion times already: download FFXIV on Steam or not? What are your recommendations?
if you know what youre doing you can get the anima relic in like a week ish
really short
no
@orchid bramble either is fine, just be aware that if you buy the game on steam you must launch from steam, along with buying future expansions from steam.
So if you ever get your steam account banned you lose access to your account
Oh geez, yeah I heard about that from some forums online, I'll probably keep it out of the Steam then 👍
If i wanna play all released content . Do i need to buy each expansion up the the newest one ? Or only the newest one + sub ?
Will do, guess I'll go ahead and get the complete version then... thanks for the help!
If i wanna play all released content . Do i need to buy each expansion up the the newest one ? Or only the newest one + sub ?
@lone dawn old expansion are bundled with the newest one, so u only need to get arr/ starter and shadowbringer or the complete edition
how can I increase quality in trial synthesis?
by using quality actions
you dont
that's on step 2

yes, by leveling
ty
make sure u go get ur white mage job stone btw now that ur level 30
augmented neoish wep>resistance wep?
roughly equal
depends on the exact secondary stats.
Resistance has the advantage of +180 more secondary stats through the 3 extra open meld slots
To use WHM as an example, their Resistance weapon is Crit/Det while the unaugmented Crystarium is crit/piety.
so a Resistance weapon for them with 5 DH VIII or 4 DH VIII + 1 Det VIII makes it comparable/slightly better.
@shrewd owl how do i do that?
For a melee like SAM though it has crit and DH on the Neo katana. It would end up being slightly better than the relic right?
you've been doing your class quests right?
class quest giver should have the quest to give you your job
@heady knot
ye
ty
If I’m in my leveling roulette before the reset but finish it after the reset, can I still do it again for the new day?
Where can I buy gatherer masterbooks in Crystarium?
is there a generally agreed upon best third party meter?
ACT
is FFXIV CDN really bad
apparently, they stop throttling the download speeds at random times
idk how that that works
is there a casting bar of fury's bolt?
@stiff osprey haven't had much experience with parsing itself. I'm still just leveling and not. Doing end game content regularly
can someone tell me the name of the quest of which ill get my first mount? I'm currently lvl 25 doing lvl 20 main quests. Just done the first lvl 20 dungeon
I was told it's a lvl 20 main quest
Oh youre right it is
Is it okay to buy armor and weapons from the main city npc?
@jaunty ruin it's a level 20 quest, but you realistically won't get to it till 25~
Level 30 is the quest to actually have your chocobo fight mb
@vestal needle if it has better stats than what you're wearing rn then yea
Though, stuff from the vendors starts getting more expensive the further you get into the game so
Do try to focus on getting as much free gear as you can
@jaunty ruin it's a level 20 quest, but you realistically won't get to it till 25~
@stiff osprey ty c:
Does Neutral Sect affect celestial opposition and intersection?

hey if i transfer a chjaracter from one server to another, can i trasnfer soon after? how long is the wait till i can retransfer
if you transfer to a standard servers its a 3 day cd, if you transfer to a preferred its 90days
Hello, how long does it usually take for accounts to show up on MogStation? I made an account like two hours ago and it still hasn't shown up on that site.
I haven't noticed any new items available in exchange for achievement certificates.. is it only me?
They don’t constantly add things to it
Most recent addition was the headband thing in 5.1 IIRC
in palace of death what happen if someone go to the next floor alone with all his party dead
but this was mentioned in 5.3 notes..
dumb question, but where to check if my account's region is NA or EU?
Oh that’s for a barding headpiece that used to be from a sidequest that got removed.
So technically new addition to the achievement store but not an actual new item
I heard I need to buy the correct Complete Edition for my account's region.
mogstation > square enix account settings > account information > region
oi Kaelwryn, would you still recommend doing the Facet quests as WVR, CUL, GSM post-5.3?
Dunno if the collectables changed
it doesn't matter tbh since restoration is a decent alternative for those
can do the facet quests on whatever you like at this point
is there a website that lists all macros for DOH/DOL for current patch?
Maybe not but I'm also unsure how much yellow scrips I'm in need of to gear up
and is the green gear ilvl490 the bis for now?(I really don't do DOH/DOl stuff since now)
!faq balance
Yes the new crafted set in 5.3 is the new best stuff
can look on teamcraft for macros if the balance hasn't updated
Thanks to both of you!
in palace of death if the whole party die would the next floors be counted or we have to reset?
Pretty sure you just get kicked out
question, for BM at lvl 45 you get the thunder mastery, it says it turns your thunder 1 to thunder 3
then you also learn thunder 3 as a skill at level 45
Yup
after we died should we start from floor 1?
no
it changes whatever button you have thunder 1 on into thunder 3
so instead of having to put two skills on your hotbars, you have 1
and whenever you're level sync'd down below 45, it converts back into thunder 1
It is basically a potency + animation upgrade
Are blades of golden antiquity still capped at 1 per week?
can we farm the books of fulmination (e5s) multiple times per week
yes, agustin
or is it limited of 1 per week?
no, savage is still weekly locked
Thanks!
thanks
okay so if i'm to make a character on Crystal, and am interested in both RP and content clearing
what's my best bet
is there any other NPCs like the scavenger guy in Idyllshire that sells crafting mats?
How do you get the new ephemeral necromancer minion?
from the new dungeon
Rare drop from the dungeon
It’s in chests After defeating final boss? Or necromancer boss?
final boss chest
Final boss
Nice, thanks!
Along with standard music and mat to make the barding/house item
🤙

Are the weapons random drop too?
is there any reason why I can't use crit hit materia on anything? it says +0
I have full neo ilv490
samurai
Every piece of gear has a substat cap
You can see it at the bottom of the meld window
If it already has as much crit as it can hold, any crit materia will give +0
Or using wrong melds
aeolian scimitar only obtainable by crafting?
Then you meld whats next in your priority list
or i can find it in a dungeon?
direct hit is priority after crit
Then meld DH
that's what I did but no crit almost
gotcha
New player here. Are Allaghan Tome of Poetics easy to come by? Should I spend them on Level 115 gear?
Yes they're very plentiful
they're very easy to get honestly if you do your dailies
anyone know how what this is?
i didnt buy it just trial
Then you didn't download the trial launcher
oh o.o theres a different one? haha ok
!faq gotrial
Fek
@karmic niche
Crafting Recipe
Requirement
Level 50* Blacksmith
Ingredients
3 Fire Crystal, 2 Earth Crystal, 1 Blunt Aeolian Scimitar, 1 Darksteel Nugget, 1 Basilisk Whetstone
ew crafting
!faq freetrial
@karmic niche however an identical model drops in Halatali too
By how much percent does a tank’s LB3 reduce damage taken?
oh
wow
ty bty 🙂
titania N vs warring triads 3 bosses hard . Which is harder?
thus the reasoning the only times you really NEED a tank LB3 is for forced mechanics or really weird cheese strats
Eh probably titana very slightly
seeing as warring triad doesn't have a normal diff
so I probably can steamrolled through it then
Yes
i'd say titania just due to it being much easier to get rolled by the incompetency of others
which you only really get on zurvan otherwise
ok thanks
Ultimates
you don't just 'get in'
how do i get a relic reborn: The chimera?
ultimate is the sort of thing you apply to groups and get vetted for
In a static
you need logs, progress, and provable skill
Everything will kill you IMMEDIATELY
@karmic niche it unlocks as part of the ARR relic weapon quest
if you just join a random group of chucklefucks you're doomed to fail instantaneously
lmao
just as a heads up: it's not a good idea to do the ARR relic if you are still only around level 50. There is a MUCH faster way to get a superior weapon
it doesnt show on my trial list lol
assuming ultimate has any telegraphed mechanics whatsoever
i just want to unlock the dungeon lol
no
No
Look under Trial instead of Dungeon
yeah i did
ROOM WIDE aoes will kill you in ultimates
so yeah, ultimate is not just something you get the ilvl for and then go do
that's laughable
You need proper mitigation and healing for everything
Every mechanic is Light rampart but worse
lol is weird haha
can you take a screenshot of the part of the quest that you're on?
Because clearing in an unorganised group of unproven players is frankly not possible
if it's telling you to queue for Chimera, it should be in your Duty Finder list for sure
Ultimates arent something.you just qur for or use party finder
You'll never clear in a million years
if any group is, anecdotally, taking anybody that applies, they're doomed
straight up
i think i am blind
No
