if you're a deal hunter, than yeah
steam doesn't go on sale very often
but you're also likely not going to be making expansion purchases more than once every 2 years
So
yeah stormblood, sorry
if I have my crafters at level 60 then where should I go to level them further?
Steam convenient or not?
I choose to not use it for this game atleast :p
if you're someone who makes use of steam wallet, or likes everything being neatly in one place, steam is a good choice
if I have my crafters at level 60 then where should I go to level them further?
@leaden ginkgo ishgard restoration
ugh really? Do I just hit Ishgard until 80 then?
yes
grumble grumbles "Thank you"
Oh ok, thanks
I'm going to quote Kevin Smith before I go angrily do it....Harry Potter should be president because he's magic
Guess I should check out the official site
ty @twilit arch
@twilit arch Can a lv 50 survive HW? Thinking of saving HW for my other class once it gets up since im almost 60 and all that MSQ xp would goto waste
heavensward was intended to be started at lvl 50
Ah
One last thing
The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate)
k! thanks
Hard to say, the more i hear about this one, theres always something else u can blow your time on if u get bored with one thing or the other
this one is missing a lot of the "you have to do this every week or you permanently fall behind the crowd" stuff
That actually sounds like a good thing
and while there are things you can put on a daily checklist that then feel work-like, it's entirely up to you if you want to play like that or not
@granite swan thanks, I think that would be it
My only qualm about it is once i start paying monthly, i feel i HAVE to play daily lol
Now that collectable turn ins are fixed and thus removed from the in game timers menu, is there an easy in-game way I can check which gathering collectables I can turn in without going to a rowena desk? I'm particularly looking for the ones that are not timed nodes, for when I fancy a mindless grind.
Well, I better try to get some rest - maybe I'll dowload it tomorrow
I feel paying the monthly fee would make me feel kinda obliged to play as much as I can tbh
Ya thats my big thing with upgrading from free trial lol
there are lots of days where i do nothing jadro
nothing people would consider content
No, yeah, I know it is not the same for everyone
like i've spent the last 3 hours making ingots
Ya, but you still login and do something right?
But I think it would be that way personally for me
That I would feel that way I mean
I am just not used to do monthly payments for a game
I mean, the subscription fee is actually kind of trivial when you think about it.
MMO subs are the most cost-efficient entertainment in the world
can't beat free
I have always been about doing an one time payment for games since I was a kid
This would be my first time
The crystaraium augmented weapon is i500 so is there any need to get the EX one of it's i496?
495
crystarium requires savage drop
if you are doing savage and can augment it, no
@leaden ginkgo sale ends the 19th, so you'd have 2 days to play and check it out to see if its worth it
if you aren't, then the i495 is a nice inbetween weapon
@granite swan thanks, I'm still not 100% sure
oh you can't get the upgrade material with the coins?
not yet no
And college keeps me quiet occupied
can always just keep trial, im sure it will go on sale again later
So i gotta take that into consideration
tons of classes to grind to 60 ;p
third tier normal raids after 7 weeks lets you upgrade it right?
7 weeks of getting the 4th fights weapon that is
Thanks, maybe I will do that
If I switch class at 50, does my MSQ continue as if I didn’t switch?
See ya later @granite swan - imma get some rest
Playing on PC with Xbox One controller and the dpad is moving my character instead of the left stick. They seemed to be switched, how can I reconfigure this?
@leaden ginkgo Night
If I switch class at 50, does my MSQ continue as if I didn’t switch?
@turbid crystal yes
@leaden ginkgo Think of it like this. Lets say you're super casual and you only log in 1 hour a day on average. That works out to ~30 hours in the month at $13 a month. 43 cents/hour.
Now lets say you play 5 hours a day on average. That's ~150 hours a month at $13 a month. 8 cents/hour.
Even if you play super casually the sub fee is cheap compared to other gaming/entertainment.
Kind of a bummer not everyone can do the 9.99 one though =/
What’s the best use of Titan-egi? the other 2 seem so much better, dmg-wise at least
Titan-egi is really only useful for solo play or if things are going to shit and you need the shield.
bad healer/tank or ur taking alot of dmg
Like if the healer eats shit and dies, can pull out Titan Egi as you're res'ing them and throw the shield on yourself.
interesting use
Can anybody help me. My camera auto rotates when I move. I don't see option to turn it off.
One sec Alex i'll screencap the option
i usually pop insta cast and then res ... guess i could start popping titan first :p
@simple shore Does it work on controller? Im trying to keep it in legacy
I dont want the camera to rotate with my character at same time because then I can not see my character from the front for example
idk but try adjusting this option.
how do i equip materia on item
how do i equip materia on item
@heady knot either meld materia yourself (requires disciple of hand levelled) or use the materia melder NPC, usually in big city markets
ok
@simple shore wait wait wait ... theres first person? why does your screen look different from mine on M/K O.o
oh wait, the scroll bar is down ;p
press home button for first person
ooh
never use first person though it garbage
^
that will make finding stuff when flying so much easier
@simple shore Problem then is camera and character rotation is the same. You will always see your character's back
Did you try all three options?
Let me check
I assume you're looking for "Never"
Yes but way standard works it seems is camera is centered on the back of my character. If I rotate camera right im actually rotating character right as well. Those settings just change the speed I rotate my character and camera.
Can someone explain to me why my pirectional pad and left stick are swapped and where can I change this to set my left stick to move instead of dpad on my Xbox One controller
@peak gust Do you have legacy control selected? im not sure if thats possible on gamepad or not though
@frank kestrel system config > gamepad settings > one of the calibrations
well i dont really undrstand what you're trying to do but "camera auto adjust" should have nothing to do with "the speed i rotate my character"
@remote lintel Thank you. I'll try that out
@granite swan I put it on legacy now
How do I stop the camera to going back to facing where my character moves in legacy.
Legacy should be moving your character where the camera faces
@remote lintel Thanks again, got it now.
Legacy should be moving your character where the camera faces
@granite swan isnt that standard
legacy is going where you press wasd relative to the cam
Yeah and I wish it wont
@finite walrus Like I want to manually adjust camera myself if anything
@finite walrus maybe, think im confusing myself lol
@peak gust unfortunately, you can't unless it's gpose mode
is there a way to show a certain DoT, debuff or buff larger in scale? without upscaling the whole segment
is there a way to show a certain DoT, debuff or buff larger in scale? without upscaling the whole segment
@long vapor dont think there is
big entire segment or big nothing

damn that sucks
its nice that you can do a lot of customizing at base but yeah I wanna do individual thing like something similar to weak auras for wow
The only way to achieve WA-like functionality is with ACT triggers
act seems like a big hassle to setup even though im always curious how my damage is lol
Not really? For just basic damage display you can set it up in about ~10 minutes?
This link is a pretty good guide to setting it up.
thanks ill take a look
you can set up act and an overlay in like 20 mins
if you install act, when I open an encounter do I need to reopen act or does it auto load?
when you start an encounter?
I mean when I enter an encounter like dungeon or so
No, you dont need to restart it
ACT measure stuff overtime
You just tell it to restart a new measurement
So to speak
This setting tells ACT how long to wait since last combat action to start a new encounter -
you can also click "End Encounter" to manually force a split
pretty sure you can also /e end in the chat box
bought some stuff on ff14 store but am not receiving them, is it normal to take time or it's usually instant?
what did you buy
Nope. But thats mostly because i dont trust xivlauncher
regardless of how many people reply to this and tell me "its legit"
Account wide stuff take a while to go through
dyes and some shorts and 1 emote
Hey should I do "a relic reborn" questline, or shoud I not even bother
how long has it been
20 mins
you need to wait
give or takes
if you want the glamour @spring needle otherwise other weapons are more accessible
It is for ARR relic weapons, and these are for glamour, it is no longer worth grinding for stats
it can take up to a few hours
ah I see
Ah okay. Then I won't bother
I've got a bit of a specific question, I can't seem to unlock sirius hard mode, I did the quests and previous dungeon but I can't find the quest for HM
do you guys mute other players effect sound?
Anyone know how I can play with players from a different world?
world visit
How do I do that?
go to big aetheryte > interact > visit world
anyone have a lv50 guide on item progression?
What do you mean
not sure on how to progress past lv50 equipment
and get to my next item level requirement
What are you having trouble reaching
52 i think for my next main
good king moogle
Did you complete your level 50 job quest yet?
yep
Did you open the coffer?
it should have had a full set of ilvl 90 left side gear for you
Quick question. Why is it so hard to find a plot for sale?
or is that literaelly forlv 70
What is its name
cuz they are all taken
RIP xp capped ...
@kindred oracle auto-destruct is off because of COVID. Normally plots would get forcibly vacated if the owners didnt log in for a month or so
summoner, red mage
Summoner and Red Mage
@simple shore Ooooh that sucks.
@vestal needle whats the name of the coffer in question? The answer is probably yes but idk what you're up to.
is lv 70 weapon coffer
because theres 3 levels
yea thanks man
Because.....there's 3 levels
i didnt realize these coffer were in my inventory
Did i get these coffer from amy job quest?
What is an optimal phantasmagoria grind?
just pay attention and if you see that icon as a quest reward, make sure to go manually open it
@woeful nacelle hunt trains
ah yeah forgot bout those
rip i wanted machinist but i have to prog story to ishgard >.>
i thought you finished ARR msq
theres post ARR quests
Is there a certain place I should sell things for the best profit or does every merchant buy the same price
yeah, i know. I thought maethill already finish that too
Dawn, Doman Restoration NPC (Stormblood stuff) buy stuff in at increased prices, but they have a weekly budget
Yeah, but im 60 now, dont wanna waste MSQ xp :p
nah gonna buy it and save key until i get more classes up near 60
Guess its a good excuse to start on Lancer tomorrow :p
Well.... You can do Archer/Bard, use it to finish story and save up some gear for machinist
what crafting job craft staffs for White Mage? 😮
CRP and GSM
Carpenter i think?
Usually carpenter, occasionally Goldsmith
Are there any circumstances under which a world transfer is ever free?
Take note that crafting job is optional
Yes but basically no
If you go from a congested world to a preferred world, it's free
World Transfer is free from "Congested" worlds to "Preferred" worlds
I'm just a bit sad I made a mistake choosing my world. 😦
but that nearly never occurs that a realm is actually flagged as Congested
And I've invested enough in this character to not wanna start over.
How did you make a mistake?
Take note that crafting job is optional
And it is very costly to level just 1 crafting job. The recommendation is level them all
I can only really think of a couple ways to pick a "wrong server"
Well ... so much for making Glamour Prisms, i now need stuff from non ARR lol
and they both involve being on Crystal
It's Majority FR language, and I just would like if I could communicate more with peeps.
Leveling all crafters at the same time allows them to supply each other with materials, cutting down your cost
Ah, EU DC stuff. That makes sense.
Glamour prism shouldn't need non ARR materials
do I need to do the 5.3 story stuff to unlock dwarf tribe quests?
Yeah... No...
whens a good time to start looking at those crafting jobs?
It's not a problem, there's autotranslate and people can communicate, I just wish I could follow the conversations going on in chat.
currently only lvl 40
@warped nest I have a feeling they forgot Armorer cause it needs lv 30 rivets also ... rofl
Im not sure if it’s supported as a topic here but does anyone have tips on GSHADE? Whenever I use it it’s either super bright I can’t see the ground or it’s too dark when it’s night time. Any tips on how to fix this?
I can assure you that glamour prism doesn't need non ARR materials
Yes
Yup
Road to 70 disappears when the World is not preferred and your character is older than 90 days
It is a buff on your character
@warped nest Where to get Earth Crystals in ARR then? Gather Log shows only those 2
Not on a specific job
Use Garlandtools
It is a website
Your gathering log don't show it all
@warped nest I gotcha, thank you.
@warped nest Thanks ill check it out
Im about to transfer off balmung, but i have an alt on there. If i have a character there, i can make more, right?
wait do DoH only able to do Dwarf quests?
are relic weapons still revelant?
@vocal canyon if your subscription let's you, you can
Older relic weapons are for glamour only
@vocal canyon I think it’s dependent on your subscription.
Dwarves are DoH only
oh RIP
There is no way they will be relevant
There are different types of subscriptions that allow you to have more characters on a single server.
Entry is cheaper: 8 characters max, 1 character per world
Standard is more expensive (but it discounts to the same price as entry if you sub 6 month in one go) : 40 characters, 8 characters max in a world
So what's my gameplan for playing blm in pvp?
damn was hoping I could do more for leveling lol but if its just pixies
Then your ice spell then
Unlike PvE, PvP focuses a lot on doing burst damage
Which is why is it okay to save your ability (like triplecast) for the perfect time to strike
Is it possible for me to move the chat box?
grab the "General" box and move it
Yeah chatbox, afaict, is the only UI you cannot adjust from the HUD layout setting
You gonna do it directly
Can you not do it w/ PS4 touchpad as a mouse or general box not the chat box?
You can activate virtual mouse with L1+R3

that lets you click and drag by holding L2 on stuff
Read the top center to learn additional control for your virtual mouse
Oh wow that’s a thing thnks I moved it
did the fashion report channel go away or am i just not seeing it
hi people, is it important to lvel up my class Ranks?
nope
ok thanks
It's nice exp for a class you're starting out leveling
This is free source of exp though
Plus it is very easy to find these targets on your journey
true that
How do Glamor Plates work?
They're glamour presets. You put them together at an inn room's glam dresser. In any major city, residential area, or hub town you can apply the presets freely with no cost.
It does cost one glamour prism per item you place in the dresser however. It's a one time cost.
Can I put in partial presets? for example my Paladin always uses the same shield and chest piece. will it just overwrite those two?
Yes
hmm. interesting.
can you set it up so that when I switch classes it ato applies one of the presets?
....kind of
You can only apply plates in main cities
You can put them as part of your gearset change macros
but that will only work in a city
In your character window, open your gear set list. Then right click the set you want and there should be an option to link a glam plate to that specific gear set.
but the glamor is permenant until I change it again?
Does Eden's Verse have a weekly limit? (Normal)
Sort of. It's permanent on the specific piece of gear. If you change gear, the preset is not automatically applied.
Is there anything particular I should spend silver feather on?
I would suggest saving them for 50,60, or 70 gear
ok. This should be useful then. I can just apply the preset in town whenever I change armor. if I have anyone sharing armor Ill just have to live with it and hange back and forth
there's some dumb low level gear you can buy with them - dont
hey may someone share tehe bis for paladin?
i am confused if its alexander 2.4 or regular 2.4
!faq pldbis
2.40 is recommended for most players. Slower sets are stronger in a vacuum, but faster sets may line up better with mechanics and gain multiple GCDs in an encounter. Use whichever is personally comfortable and make rotation adjustments for alignment where needed.
2.42 - Sausage and Sauerkraut
2.40 - Sausage and Sauerkraut
2.39 - Sausage and Sauerkraut
!faq Balance
Epic of Alexander BiS is only for that specific duty
ohh!
since it has an item level sync
then what do the 2.40, 2.42 and 2.39 come from if you donty mind sharing? i am confused with them
Thanks for the help
Your GCD
Between 60, and 70 which lvl is harder to grab basic gear on? Since at 45-50 I think you get class armor?
they all perform very equally.
Do you still have access to fc chat when on another server?
i understand thank you @obsidian patio
I saved my feathers for the Scaeven gear at 70. But its up to you. 60 or 70 are both fine choices.
Hello, I'm at the way to unlock the Hunt stuff with an alt char, but I can't accept the quests, because of following error:
[9:33]※ In order to be eligible for the quest “Nuts to You,” you must have met the following requirements:
[9:33]※ You must have completed the sidequest “Elite and Dangerous.”
※ You must have completed the main scenario quest “Travelers of Norvrandt.”
Now I checked all the quests I have done. I have done all sidequests from the Hunt, from ARR to SB, and I'm in the middle of the 5.3 MSQ with this Alt Char. Is there something I didn't look into yet?
at which level i get some retainer to store my trash?
@craggy pivot It's one of the MSQ quests right after you finished the first 3 dungeons, At around LV 18
iam level 20 now, not sure iam there. just follow main quest?
The MSQ quest which unlocks it, is called "Scions of the Seventh Dawn"
@cinder steeple doublecheck if you can grab the weekly hunt bill from Ishgard/Kugane.
thanks ill google it then
so torn between trying al jobs or continueing xD cause im not even at the core rotation yet for summy, 50 atm 😛
Does food increase all exp or just battle?
Is free trial not limited to 1-10 on potd anymore?
No, you can go up to 200 with free Trial now
Odd, I'd write up a bug report then and see if you get a response back.
I found my issue - I forgot that the NPC close to the Pendants is giving the quest, and not the NPC close to the Hunt Board 😄
Yo guys sorry if this is in the wrong place because I'm scared to get spoiled in the lore spoilers but is the calamity and battle for cartaneu the same thing?
Character configuration
Then there is a switch
Top right of the settings I think
Thank you!
Top left even
All good.
Nice

@cinder steeple Just curious, but where did u see we can goto 200? I cant find that anywhere 😦
@granite swan Gimme a moment to find the Lodestone url, but I think it should stay in there for the Announcement of Trial Expansion
Ah
@drifting sail the battle for Carteneau was the battle that was taking place (between Eorzea and the Garleans) right when Bahamut came out and the Calamity happened
you can see it in the ARR opening movie
Ahhhh ok, thanks for clearing that up
@granite swan Maybe it was Liveletter only when it was said, but it definitely was confirmed
I'll have to rewatch it, in my head they were the same thing but they kept referring to both differently so was confused
how do i defeat the wyvern in a story quest, he is invulnerable >.>
which quest specifically?
ignore the wyvern and kill everything else
i think it was bugged xD the dude showed up after like 10 min >.> so it was only the wyvern for a long time nobody to target
but he came eventually
ah
might've killed stuff too fast than what was anticipated
so it was probably going through dialogue or something like that
ah possible ;D
Hi, is there a list of timer when these FATES will come out? I can't find any details online
FATEs are random for the most part
Rip
though you can speed up the fate you want to complete by doing other fates in the area
though i'd just teleport between the three areas til you see the fate you need to do for that area
high chance at least one of them is up
Can you transfer from a preferred world to another preferred world to get the road to 70 buff? Or is it only for newly-created characters? I think my first character was created like a week before my world went preferred. :\
Only newly created.
That's a bummer. Thanks. 🙂
New to FFXIV and trying to make an account but wont work
I wish we could enter PoTD from anywhere instead of having to stay at the npc lol
@scenic temple Would help to elaborate what you mean
uuuh do i get High Legatus Idol every run or is it decide by loot?
Once you have entered the queue for PotD, you can leave the area if you want
@sterile ore 2 every clear
so i go to mog station
any limit? like only get 1 per week or day
nope
then i put in all things i need to make an account
birth date and everything
then i put in the comfirmation code
oki thank you
then it just puts in this error code
error i2501?
yeah

So does "relocation bypasses the hidden timer" mean that if you have a house, and see an empty plot, you can just stroll up and buy it like that, you don't have to spam for hours?
That's usually the main cause of it
@gritty oracle correct
so my best bet at getting a medium is snatching up an empty Goblin small or something and waiting?
Gblet*
yep
if such an empty exists. on most servers they dont.
How long does it take for "Tales of Adventure" purchases to be sent to a character?
if it's like other character specific-purchases from the mogstation then generally a few minutes or so.
Ok, interesting.
if you made the character very recently it might take a little bit longer for the game to recognise it
There should be no other sort of activation after buying it though?
nope, just gotta grab it from the moogle mail and use it
Guess it's time to email Square support then, RIP
been over 24 hours? :\
there is a button you can hit on the mail moogle to refresh your mail
if you haven't hit that yet, give it a try before emailing
It's only been an hour. I have hit the button. I'll wait a few more hours if you think it will help
do you have other mail sitting in the inbox? it won't be sent if it's full of unopened mail
I have some mail in there.
But it's only 6. All previously opened. I feel like that wouldn't be doing anything
open up and claim the items from those and delete the empty letters too, that should help it go through
hmm
No, I definitely sent to the correct character.
I double checked that.
I did purchase Shadowbringers right before. Maybe that's confusing something
what should I do with yellow crafter scrips I get from custom deliveries while leveling crafters? I don't want to waste them
I got the yellow scrip armor/accessories already
ive just finished Shadowbringers, what do I do now to get the highest level armor?
iirc there's some orchestrion rolls and other little goodies
@neat mauve if you're willing to spend gil, there's i480 Neo-Ishgardian gear from the marketboard.
a full set is usually around 500-700k depending on server prices
dang, im a bit broke so thats a no go for now
Then you want to work on spamming the level 80 dungeons for gear from them along with tomestones to spend on i460/i490 gear in Eulmore.
!faq contentunlock
There's also the 8-man (Eden) and 24-man raid (YorHa) series for gear from them.
the highest ilvl is 490?
ive been dreading this moment lol, was a story scrub for the past year but now I gotta start paying attention to stuff like materia and stats lol
500, which is upgraded Allegory gear and Eden Verse Savage stuff

is there a way to get up there (lakeland) without aether currents? im so pissed if im blocked cuz aether currents are too boring to grab
need flying
the way this game works, ilvl500 stuff wont benefit me doing lower content right?
because stats get squished down
in terms of pre-80 stuff, yeah
but for level 80, only the older dungeons have item level syncs in them to stop them from becoming too trivial
for combat classes your main methods are selling the crafting materials bought with Tomestones of Phantasmagoria, loot from Zonureskin treasure map parties, and selling spare grade 7/8 earned from dungeons and Shadowbringers hunts.
Does it take a little bit for purchases through the square sight to process?
Bought a mount but it’s not in the mail yet.
gotta wait.
if it was an account-wide mount those take longer to be delivered
Alright, thanks guys.
account-wide purchases for me usually take around 20-40 minutes.
if it's a account wide mount it can take longer, usually yes but sometimes it can also take a day but it's rly rare that it takes longer as a few hours
Does anyone know how to disable a certain trial from the duty roulettes?
how do u get gear for alt jobs, lvling gear and such
you can't.
i see guess imma just not do trials
The closest thing you can do is purposely lower your item level so you wouldn't be able to get it.
friend of mine just got Fisher to 80, and is wondering if he can use regular vendor gear to fish for scrips for scrip gear
is that possible?
A lot of flowcharts for GNB say thst if you dont have 2 cartridges you do keening edge combo befofe spending a cartridge so you are basically never spending your last cartridge.
Any specific reason to keep 1 cartridge ready that i am overseeing ?
Probably to make sure you always have one to do your Gnashing combo
Mostly so that when Gnashing Fang comes off CD you can use it immedaitely
@hardy abyss The NQ level 80 set should be more than fine to help get the white scrips needed for that stuff.
appreciate you once again Yilmaz ty
they can also do Custom Deliveries as a gatherer
im 48 as bota
need 50
what can i gather to get to 50
anything in the 40 area. check your gathering log
how do fishers figure out how to do big fish in the first place before the data from other fishers come through? just brute force of different combinations?
the area is 50, the level is 46
ah
you can gather fine, you just might not have 100%
oof
can some one tell me how to stop my character from doing shit with I enter groupose??
Eriejar, trial and error
I got scare when it suddenly start doing some skill but it was an animation or something
are there a limited amount of variables that people try out?
once something came through, people jumped on figuring it all out. took a lot of time and a lot of people
oh i see
there's a tonne of variables. if you're interested in fishing I recommend the Fisherman's horizon discord
sec
@cobalt pagoda easy way to 'reset' is to do an emote like /yes
which will overwrite the last action you did for gpose
switching jobs should also reset it
howdy, haven't played in years, is it normal that the launcher downloads at 1/3rd of my usual download speeds?
yes, some files just download slower.
yes

Um, if you reset your save file, and continue on floors 51 onwards for POTD, How does the game keep track of your level?
you choose to go in at 1 or 51 when you start a new thingy
you just gotta get there first to unlock that feature
starting at floor 51 sets your level to 60
Ohh okay
since you're always 60 by that point if you started from floor 1
ok, thanks!
Yes, thank you so much for clarifying that
Perception may be a slight factor but it's hard to test since most gear has a bit of both stats.
can i become a red mage in free trial?\

@vestal needle Im not sure. They are unlocked in Shadowbringers at lvl 50.
way won’t my character stop reapeating the emote?? I just want it to stay still in group pose
@cobalt pagoda You might have a button stuck thats the only thing I think of. Have you logged out to see if it stops?
no you can't become red mage/samurai in the free trial since they require stormblood being registered
no since out of g pose it doesn’t do anything
Is entering a Free Company very important?
not really
they're more of a social thing
@cobalt pagoda try /sit and then stand back up
that should reset all animations
@obsidian patio loging out the in fix it
is there a good place to look at a bar setup for White Mage?
If you use controller this is my set-up
#protips-and-ui message
nah im on mnkb
I respect the hell out of you controller users, but I tried and failed hard with controller xD
Hey guys, I’m a new player and I was wondering to become a dragoon, I only need to be a lvl 30 lancer right?
@obsidian patio hmm the VPN didn't help. tried setting up my own via my VPS in Amsterdam, but it was even slower :/ Any regions I should tunnel to to get better download speeds?
You need a level 30 lancer and 15 marauder dont you? Unless that was like a looong time ago
Lol
No idea, I don't play on PC.
That was a long time ago
ah fair enough
almost 3 years now
You need to do the Sylph Management quest iirc
Yeah I heard it was 15 marauder as well
You no longer need secondary classes to unlock the base game jobs
just the class that becomes the job
thank god
hello wanted to ask what is the best way to farm poetics as as fresh lvl 50 player ?
Run Main Scenario Roulette daily (500 or 600 depending on new player) and start immediately working on the Crystal Tower raid series
Unlocking two 24-man duties unlocks the Alliance Raid roulette which is another great source of daily poetics.
and the raids themselves give 100 poetics, 200 if there's a new player.
Okay thank you very much
what type of sound is the countdown queue sound? it's so unreasonably loud
system, IIRC
Im trying to unlcok the ananta beast tribe quest but i can not finf where to get the quest A New Contender. I have main story complete.
Its not where it should be
is it possibly hiding under another normal quest?
anata needs 2 quests chains to be done in fringe iirc
the quest they're talking about is one of those chains
allrdy checked your journal if u did it allrdy or took it and forgot it
i downloaded FFIV just now and i don't know how to open it
....where did you download that from
there
so i can play the game?
is it on steam?
I mean, yes, but
Yknow the maps you get where it recommends at least 6-8 level 60 players to open the chest? Is that still a thing or can I just whoop it with having high iLVL?
why would you download the mac client
dunno thought it would work
the level 60 party maps have a chance to open a portal to a treasure dungeon
your level is synced in that dungeon, so you wouldn't be able to solo it
if you own the game, anyway
There are dungeons that are accessed outside of MSQ right
but aside from that portal, you can solo the 60 maps no problem
Ah i see. Id just be playing with my whm bf
thanks
with a healer and tank, you could do the portal. It'd be slow and a little risky, but doable
There are dungeons that aren't part of the MSQ, yes
For what reason do you do those dungeons
Story, gear, tomestones, and sometimes they come up in roulettes
there are also some quests that will direct you to run a specific dungeon, like the Grand Company rank up quests, or the relic weapon quests
okay
cape westwind takes so long to que zzz

Do you have your duty finder searching for JP players? that will drastically speed up your queue if your chosen role does mean you're playing on a JP datacenter
Just got some sort of warning logging in but I missed it any one can tell me what it was
Yellow writing
Or square if on controller
woah thnx xD
Just remember melee will generally use the LB until later assuming you're fairly new.
yeah, just wanted to know how, i have seen the lb list, i think mostly tank and healers/melee dps should, im summy and my lb is meh so 😛
Tanks never
So... I've never touched Crafter/Gatherer. I made an alt and took advantage of road to 70 and now all my gatherers are 71-80, but my crafters are still at 50... I'm kinda stalled out, is there somewhere I can go from here to get my gatherers up alone, or do i have to buck up and just grind up all of my crafters before i can finish the non-FSh ones to 80.
Healers is very useful in certain situations
but the tank gives like 50% less dmg taken 😛
They don't need it because they rotate cooldowns
@junior garden You can use the Diadem as a lazy way of leveling up gatherers
i've got miner/botanist to 71/73 respectively and fisher at 80.
but my crafters are underleveled and my gear is trash and I can't get MNR/BOT up because leves don't work the same way
Unless it's really important for you to feel self-sufficient, you can just buy the DoL gear for now
yeah, Gatherers can do just fine with vendor gear while leveling up
I don't have much money. :/
there's also the Fieldking stuff bought for yellow scrips at level 70.
Which is why I'm skittish.
that lasts for pretty much all of 70-80
you basically only need to replace the tools near the end if you want
The yellow scrip gear? I got a few pieces off of ocean fishing.
We can get that kind of mitigation for tank busters easily through abilities.
Healers bringing the entire party back to life can be very useful to avoid wipes in 24 mans mainly or easier trials, 8 man raids etc.
The hardest content of too many die generally it's a fail due to to low uptime and most bosses having enrage
What do I do for 80 progression?
Or is that like
"Get your crafters up or forget it"
if you don't mind not being able to get the super endgame stuff, the white scrip Professional set is good enough
can armory chest size be increased?
nope
How does one acquire white scrips? Sorry if these questions are dumb, but DoH/DoL feels so different, and most information kinda assumes you have basic knowledge of how endgame systems work.
so it’s permanently 35 spaces?
level 78-80 collectables, and from custom deliveries when done as a level 80.
yes
It's very manageable though. With glamour chests, saddlebags and retainer space
make sure to also clear out old equipment that you don't need anymore
the only slot that really struggles is the rings if your classes are all different levels
how do you do 78-80 collectables without 80 gear though/
that's kind of where I'm stuck
gathering retainers also care for item level? or only the gathering stat?
only gathering stat
so it's fine if I just let some slots empty early on?
yeah
sorry that i'm being dumb
You can always try manually grinding to 80 and then rely on custom deliveries for scrip income
I've literally only ever just bumrushed DoW/DoM classes up through to savage and done that, trying to do any other sort of endgame is new to me and I don't quite get it.
Kai-Shirr and the newest Custom Delivery NPC in the Firmament are the current best ones to do for White Scrips
Can you do custom deliveries from Diadem?
no they're separate things
How do I know what's best to craft and how much to sell it for on the market for DoH classes? Just started Goldsmith, my first one, but I have 0 idea how to make gil on it. Does that come later?
to put it bluntly, look stuff up yourself.
each server has a different economy with items selling at different prices
so what's good on one server may not be good on yours.
Huh. That's gonna be confusing, but kinda cool
A general safe bet on things to make are current patch glamour/furniture items
and in terms of the early levels, your best shot is probably making items that would be used as items for leve turn-ins
I really wish there was like a solid staggered DoH/DoL guide that wasn't "spend 200k and do this macro" or "spend 200k and spam this leve."
Okay, thanks, makes sense
it's so hard to find information that doesn't assume you're working from the position of an established player.
And yeah, my biggest struggle has been finding guides that aren't for experienced players.
This is a bit of an odd question but if I wanted to find images of the dark knight armor that the WoL wears, where should i ask? google hasnt been very helpful
Its just the level 80 relic gear
thnak
exact name of the set is "Bale"
do i need to do the healer role quest to advance anything?
i think my W key is failing.. char keeps stopping xd
yo is doing the stuff in the hunting log while leveling still relevant or was that just a thing before any xpacs were out?
since it seems to only give xp and thats a nonissue now ye?
@neat mauve yes. you need to fully complete one of the role quest series to be able to complete the leveling story. They're also how you get your level 80 job set for that role.
did they release orchestrion roll for this yet?

Oh I finished the story with my Black Mage, was just curious if you needed to do the other roles too (healer main)
Whats a level 80 job set?
the job-specific sets
oh like armor?
sad times ty
yo is doing the stuff in the hunting log while leveling still relevant or was that just a thing before any xpacs were out?
since it seems to only give xp and thats a nonissue now ye?
the hunting log is only a thing in the base game, and the experience kinda falls off past 30.
Is there a way to get full tooltips of my spells in game ? Instead of having to go search on google ?
hover over their icon? not sure on what you mean by "full" tooltip
does my forgemaster set lose its HQ property when I upgrade it?
forgemaster doesn't upgrade into anything
The Forgekeep stuff is entirely separate.
oh, it's the forgekeep that augments

guys, I can't sub to the game, it gives me error i2501 what should I do
I'm not using a vpn, i've changed connections, browsers, everything
should i pretty much just extra materia from every low level item then trade them for seals
is there any way to do dungeon with friends?
as a free trial user?
both free trial *
you'll need someone else to make a party for you two
and if they leave, i can still be party leader?
yes
how do you get an invite for 7 days to come back?
I can't sub right now because they blocked my account with their dumb antifraud system
keep getting i2501
Not sure what to say, you could try submitting a support ticket or getting in contact with your bank.
extract materia won't detroy item right? unlike before
I just started fishing, is there a log or something I can use to see the gathering rate/HQ chance?
Also, are there any easy ways to find fishing holes in-game? I've been using gamerescape up until now
@winter nimbus previously it was convert fully spirit bonded gear into materia
Now it is extract spirit bond into materia
@warped nest thanks
@warped nest btw does that mean i can extract materia repeatedly on a single item as long as it's spirit bond?
Yes
Yup
I won't be crafting for a little while, focus is content and all jobs to 80/60 first.
But with new patch will getting crafters to 80 be costing more or less?
I don't particularly care about crafting, maybe I'll buy the gear to make my own food and pots.
Just want them all at 80
@winter nimbus sergeant 2nd class
I'm pretty close to omni 80 jobs. Just DRK 70-80, MNK 65-80 and BRD 60-80
Gil investment for leveling crafts are relatively low with how easy it is using beast tribes and Ishgard restoration
@obsidian patio thx do u know how i can level up gc fast in the early stage?
Yeah. It's all stuff I'll have to look into properly once I have all my jobs done
Do your grand company hunting log and fates if needed
thx
i see so many bards
HAHA, same, doesnt sound appealing to me
Press one button for the entire of your job career while waiting for procs. Sounds fun
how do i go about replaying class quests?
Although BRD may be a good choice for someone new to MMOs. Very simple, can DPS on the move. But I'm getting into discussion here.
What crafting job should i levelup for Samourai ?
you can replay class questlines through New Game+
I'm not sure. Blacksmith is for the katana, but idk if it's weaver or leatherworker that makes Samurai gear @patent trellis

can I share semi-major spoiler pics here (spoiler hidden of course)? I have a screenshot of a character reading a book, and their attire is spoilery, but my Eorzean is abysmal and I can't read the title of the book. Or should I go with that to #retired-patch-6-3-discussion ?
it depends on the gear, but its mostly leatherwork
I can repear my togi with weaver so i guess that's weaver
there will still be the occasional set of pants or robe that require weaver
also Ayeto, I recommend doing all crafters. They all (except culinarian) depend on each other to provide materials from base mats.
ok
plus you can share gear between jobs
Yeah, being an omni-crafter/gatherer is super benefitial
true
But it takes a lot of time to level
Anyone knows how to get your account unblocked from error i2501?
you can ignore fisher/culinarian if you like tho. Those two don't depend on anything and nothing depends on them.
I recommend getting to 20 and then switching to firmament (if you've done the 3.3 msq)
should write this stuff down lol
if you have the money, spamming levequests is the quickest way to level crafter/gatherer, but if you dont have all that gil then isghard restoration is really quick in leveling the classes
@leaden ginkgo wait 24 hours
Alchemist uses some items that fishermen gather, but other than that yeah. They're not that necessary
How does the timer for the road to 70 work? Does it count from the point of character creation, or does it count 90 days after my server stopped being preferred?
90 days from character creation
@leaden ginkgo wait 24 hours
@quasi hawk
25h since the last time I tried or since I got blocked
if you do restoration, you only need mats for quest items and no quest item requires fsh iirc
Oh, quest item
There are some crafting recipes that need mats from fishermen, but no quest item yeah
Tris, if you're not locked out of mogstation, try to get a OTP set up. I used to get locked out all the time (move around a fair bit, so diff IP addresses), no such problem since I got my OTP.
submit a support ticket then i guess 🤷
I've been told you can make money while leveling crafters if you know what you're doing.
Obviously burning gil is the fastest route
basically make multiples of quest items and sell the ones you don't need
especially cul since one craft gives you 3 items, but only need to turn in 1. That's 2 free sellable ones

is scholar fun? I'm summy so it levels with me, faster queue times xD
Pretty complicated to learn at first, but after you learn the ins and outs of all the ogcds you have, playing sch will feel like playing the game on easy mode.
cool cool ;D
artifact glamour is trash though
I cry every time I look at it
plus if you do like satasha or something, you barely even need to heal since fairy covers all
the one thing that feels very bad on sch is dying, since you gotta resummon fairy before doing anything
when i started the game i had a really bad opinion on most classes 1-50, and playing arcanist uber sucked, but scholar became my favourite class to play. it's easy in concept but the idea of being a healer that focused more on preemptive spellcasting rather than reactive spellcasting was really appealing @gritty oracle
hmm, sounds cool, i always liked having pets that can heal
oh wait i pinged wrong person mb
also sch got the yummiest prepull for moderate raidwide damage, recitation adlo deployment means bright sabbath deals like 1-2k damage to yout actual healthbar
hahah xD
just hit synthesize
The screen is from a youtube video btw
ohhhh
I want the same window
next to the "Synthesis" button on your crafting log, you can find the button "Quick Synthesis"
you gotta complete the craft manually at least once tho
and some things can't be quicksynthed
And you need to hit level 10 on a crafter job to unlock the quick synth option
one thing about quicksynth tho: 1. it gives considerably less xp per craft than completing it by hand 2. HQ is very far from guaranteed. Assume all crafts will be NQ.
What really
Kinda
If you're way over the requirement you'll get HQ maybe 1/3rd of the time
Otherwise yeah basically accept it's probably NQ
https://i.gyazo.com/cd1bc7725ae5e587146b80015b9acdb6.mp4 short mp4 showing quick synth
In the video i'm looking the guy is quickly synthising 99 stacks and go afk, this is not the best method then 😮 ?
not for leveling crafting, no
it's not the best method but hey it'll level you while you afk. it's pretty expensive to do that tho since you have to buy a lot of mats, and inefficient since the more you make, the more yoou level,a nd the less worth the exp per craft
you'll also burn through your crystals and you'll have to buy more
I read a pin and it says about 1m gil bonus if you're not in free-trial? 😮
actually it is nice to hear, cuz I won't miss out anything 😛
can i not new game+ the class quests of quests post-ARR?
Not yet
I think it's like, a few days from now
i wanted to redo DRK
Maybe a couple weeks
oh ok
I forget the release schedule
does the location matter when you use the duty finder? as in faster finding groups in cities?
I see thx
96 minutes left, oof
can i transfer my char to another realm\server?
Hi all. What’s the fastest way to level my second class (rogue)?
20-60 I can recommend Squadron 😄
Thanks 🙂
If queue times for dungeons are quick for whatever reason spam highest level leveling dungeon otherwise squadron or Palace of the Dead (with Palace you want to spam floors 51-60)
And that'll take you to about level 60
I'd recommend doing a mix of squadron and Palace since both are really boring
When you grind it anyway
I haven’t gotten palace yet but will look into it
In that case palace might be a bit slow to start with till you hit floor 50 and unlock the checkpoint there
But you should really unlock that at some point
I think I may push main for that then. It’s currently on 38
Where can you trade your sacks of nuts?
Whats the rookery? Lol, Where the market is?
Found it! Thanks!
For my inner peace what is that section of the city called?
lol i see so many who are still gladiator xd
so im trying to get the new ilvl 490 gear on my crafters and gatherers but even though my avg ilvl on all my crafters is around 451 with the skysteel relic on all of them i still cant seem to hit 2480 craftsmanship and now im not sure how to continue?
Umm, tell them to stop Unreal
haha xD
How much over are you in terms of control?
2436 sorry
allrdy used food and syrups?
are all dungeons unlocked by MSQ or also some by other stuff
i guess eating food wld let me hit 2480 but just barely, would i even be able to craft HQ items with a 100% succes rate tho
is there a lfg on discord for ffxiv content?
if you need a different datacentre you'll have to get the corresponding role
if you're looking for a static you might also want to try the europe raiding central discord, a link is in #resources
yea just tried trial synthesis, even with food and syrup i cant seem to get higher than 16% HQ
can somebody tell me on which stats to prioritize on armour for DRG?
At 80, or before 80?
FC aren't required, but would you guys recommend joining one
@proud willow I guess before and after lol

hi everyone! maybe it's a silly question but... when we are synched to a lower level, there is no difference between what kind of gears we have. No? I mean, if i'm 490 or 450 there is no difference in the moment i'm synched to a lowerr ilv right?
What happens once you hit 60 in the free trial?
Is the XP stored away or do you lose it?
Its lost
That fucking sucks
Guess I'm buying the game in like a day or two
is there a guide to finish hunting logs fast? as in with the least running around
How can I visit another world that's not in the list? eg. Faerie to Mana?
You can't world visit worlds on other data centers
Or not a guide, but tips?
@brave loom when you're synced down, youre synced to the highest ilvl of that time period (or a specific ilvl if specified) and your materia is turned off. If the sync is a large sync then there isnt much difference to people wearing cap gear to people wearing gear of that level.
where to unlock new ex trial?
Is this site quite right with timers? Just had the allegedly 0:00-3.55 node disappear before my eyes around 2:00. https://www.ffxivclock.com/nodetype/Ephemeral#/
An in game Clock and Alerts for Final Fantasy XIV World, Eorzea. Helps with gathering nodes for fishing, botany, mining and other game events.
where to unlock new ex trial?
@tidal yarrow minstrelling wanderer, crystarium, as usual
ty
just did The Scions of the Seventh Dawn (Quest). retainer npc said its 0 retainers available for me to hire.
there mentions i need An Ill-conceived Venture (Side Quest).
But i do not see any npc that provide it on map.
that sidequest is to unlock ventures, not retainers
you need a retainer to do it in the first place
'Players can hire Retainers by talking to a Retainer Vocate near the Marketboard of the 3 main cities.'. You dead sure?
oh wait hang on. are you on the trial?
and can trials even have retainers?
free trial players can't hire retainers
is that it, then?
I mean, they do
Every limitation of the trial is listed here, which is linked to at some point during the trial creation process
having trouble finding groups for extreme striking tree, is there lfg for harder content people group up in
Nobody is really going to do that at-level
EX trials are effectively dead content because they don't exist in any roulette (other than Mentor Roulette)
because you can come back at 80 and do it unsync'd and just delete it in seconds
they are also much harder than trials that you do during the MSQ
And yeah, you can either unsync it later or grab a buddy in Party Finder to unsync it. level 50 EXs die in about a minute to a solo level 80
!faq weaving
And yeah, you can either unsync it later or grab a buddy in Party Finder to unsync it. level 50 EXs die in about a minute to a solo level 80
@proud willow ok, been actually finding groups with duty finder, but dont think anyone knows what to do, perhaps better to just skip for now since its not important for unlocking something else
You can't actually murder Ramuh EX. If the dps is too high starts to one shot peeps
Hey guys, I just hit lvl 60 and a. Currently going through HW, I was just wondering how important is materia? Should I be equipping it? I've ignored it up till now
No, they took that out a while ago
Oh TIL
the level 50 EX primals no longer cause a wipe from phase skipping
the moonlight event, is it a daily repeatable?
cause ive received 15 vouchers and nothing more
oh fate gives voucher directly?
Yes
@wanton pecan It's fine to keep ignoring it until you hit level 80. Low level materia doesn't have much of an effect
@proud willow awesome thank you :)
whats the difficulty order for raids? ultimate is the hardest right?
do the tomestones really reset?
