MSQ level matters more than job level for unlocks
You can't unlock a single thing above level 50 without doing MSQ
median locust
yeah
ok sure you CAN unlock Gunbreaker and Dancer at 60 without MSQ
but what even would you run with them
the highest level dungeon you have is 50

the quest that starts the lead up to the battle with Ifrit is "A Wild Rose By Any Other Name", which requires level 17 and is located in The Waking Sands in Vesper Bay in Western Thanalan.
open coral
That's uh... that's a way bit before.
The actual quest to fight Ifrit is called "Lord of Flames" a level 20 quest.
gray sage
I know, but the quest i said starts the storyline that leads up to the battle with Ifrit.

i can't pick up the yokai watch quest, npc isn't there
i think it could be because i might have started it when it last came around years ago
open coral
@unique oasis If you've done it before you don't need to do it again.
median locust
yeah it's not a new quest
unique oasis
I would prefer to do it again so i know what the hecc's going on

Are there new crafteable weapons for DNC and GNB?
gray sage
BTW, speaking of Silver Feathers, when I was still unsure which race I wanted to play as, on one of them I got Silver Feathers even though I was a trial and just started, but on others (including my current one) I got no Silver Feathers.
@gray sage Does this have something to do with servers or something?

no theyre all the same

The counter you go to to turn in stuff is also somewhere else
wispy parcel
No just which one you like the gear for best
median locust
So pick the one with the city you like best
or gear
You can change later if you make a mistake
unique oasis
ul'dah's counter is closest to it's aetheryte
and youre gonna visit frequently to deposit unneeded loot for seals
median locust
but we're talking about GC counters
gray sage
Limsa Lominsa has the quickest way to and from Vesper Bay (where the Waking Sands, the location of a good amount of MSQ in 2.0, is)
median locust
Limsa's GC counter is by far the most "out of the way" one imo
gray sage
Not....really, just take the Aetheryte to the Aftcastle, and its only a short walk away.
median locust
Both other counters don't make you take an aetheryte to a completely different zone
fringe bone
where can i see how the armors look from the differen gc
median locust
Navigation on the left to see Flames and Adders armor
This is all for cosmetic purposes only btw
you can use them as actual gear but it's meh
heady bramble
Am I unable to get the jibanyan mount if I haven't unlocked the stormblood area?
median locust
Either way, you have 3-4 months to get there
open coral
Probably not? Since the mount requires that you get weapons which can only be obtained by doing SB FATEs

yeah it'll be around for what? 3 months?

im staring the game free trial , my question is, my experience to lvl up 60 is SOLO PLAYER EXPERIENCE? or i can join guilds or clans, or do party with other players or speack in the general chat?

During Free Trial most social things are restricted

you can't join guilds or friend other players or invite them to parties
but you can be invited to a party

Hello guys, can anyone tell me if the complete edition go often on sale ? I know the complete edition is on sale right now but i kinda want to wait since i just started the game
median locust
Including everything you mentionned except for the "general chat"
Because there's no general chat lol
gray sage
And you can chat in a party you are in
sacred laurel
@median locust oh so, if i like to speack with other what i need to buy?
median locust
@leaden ginkgo You can buy the game now and save the code for later. Enter it when you're done with the free trial.
Unless you're on PS4
sacred laurel
but you can be invited to a party
@remote lintel oh nice no social skills xd
gray sage
Wait, no general chat? Then whats the chat you type in when you are not in a party?

which fate do i have to do to get yokai medals?
median locust
@sacred laurel Standard Edition will remove all social restrictions, but you will have to pay sub
gray sage
Because I have used the "general chat" before
median locust
/say chat?
halcyon arch
is the nier stuff timed or no 🤔
open coral
@soft bough Depends on which medals you're trying for. There's an infographic pinned in this channel that has all the information.
@halcyon arch No. It's permanent content
halcyon arch
Great!
median locust
I think by General chat they mean a world chat channel, that everyone anywhere in the server can talk in
Which we don't have
remote lintel
unless you count shout kinda
median locust
You don't
open coral
Trials can't /shout
sacred laurel
oh is very starnge there are no general chat in this game lol
median locust
You could count Novice Network, but if you're not new or a mentor, you don't have access to it
Peopl talk to their FCs or Linkshells basically
open coral
Part of that has to do with how zones work in XIV @sacred laurel
median locust
FC = Guild, Linkshells = Private chat channels
remote lintel
the closest thing to "general" chat is /say
open coral
Every zone is its own "instance", rather than a continuous open world.
median locust
by general they mean server wide chat so /say is literally the furthest thing from that lol
sacred laurel
but there are a clan/guild chat true?
median locust
or FCs
wispy parcel
Say: Everyone within a few meters of you can see the message
Yell: A bit further than say
Shout: Everyone in the zone can see it
raven burrow
do i need to have the yokai watch equipped to get the legendary medals? or is the minion all i need?
median locust
Yes you do
simple shore
Actually
open coral
You need both watch and minion AND the correct zone for the legendary medals
raven burrow
kk ty
simple shore
The person who said "General Chat" was likely referring to WoW
the closest equivalent is Shout
since General in WoW is zone-wide
hot eagle
nope only minion is enough for the legendary medals
median locust
ah gotcha
sacred laurel
general chat i say like wow when you are in a city
simple shore
Yeah /shout will go zone-wide
gray sage
Small question, when looking at the artifact armor looks in XIVstyle site, the jobs that weren't added in the expansions have 5 armors event though there has only be 3 expansions (+A Realm Reborn). So, is the anything different in the way you get the second armor over the first armor
remote lintel
ARR jobs have another armor from centurio hunts
simple shore
But cities do not have world-wide channels like Trade in WoW.
gray sage
I thought the level 45 armor is all but the body/ torso, while the level 50 one is the body/ torso
simple shore
There's an ilvl90 recolor of the same set though
open coral
Both 45 and 50 gear is full left side - head, chest, hands, legs, feet.
simple shore
Case in point

You just don't get the 45 chest until level 50

reccomend that you dont bother until you finish the level 50 MSQ though and unlock flying
median locust
And have done the "___ Envoy" main story quest
unborn dock
Ooh, I need two more levels, then.
simple shore
because right now, people who do have flying are doing the event
and they're going to get to teh FATE and finish it before you even get halfway there usually

are the yetis in this game just hairy tusked gobbues?

@honest summit maybe a week or 2 weeks depending on how often and how long you play

you need level 50 for machinist, and to have finished the entirety of ARR
faint flare
Since you need to do ALLLLLLL of arr
faint flare
50hours maybe

when you get it you'll start back at 30 and have to level back to 50 to continue the msq as machinist

@leaden ginkgo Thats crazy but I really want the class lol

@honest summit As a disclaimer, it's not 2 weeks to reach level 30, it's 2 weeks to progress the story to the point where you can unlock Machinist

@static yacht i know the basic idea, but i'm more curious on the opener

ish. I did it in, uh, a week and a half BEFORE the ARR nerfs.

@grizzled gyro are you typing it in properly?
@static yacht I've tried both

you came in at a good time

For the base 2.0 story

Add abit for the rest

thats NOT including ARR patch though
that's just 2.0
There's a guy purposely playing through it really slow that hasn't released a video of the ARR patch story yet

@keen fable Thanks and I dont really have much to fo cause covid-19 so I can probably get the class before my time is up.

so should i meikyou dot buff then build for the 3 sen ability?

By default hotbar 5 is sharee
@faint flare Which ones are not shared?
And where can I change that option?
faint flare
1-3 by default
keen fable
@honest summit you shouldn't. MSQ's keep you well above level for the story after the changes
faint flare
Character config > hotbars > sharing
short sparrow
Character Config has all the hotbar options.
dusk drum
Ooof thanks
keen fable
@static yacht gotcha. so meikyou then damage buff, then dot, then gcd, then proceed with regular combo
static yacht
@keen fable if you have a summoner + ninja + dancer all @ 50 and they actually know what they're doing you want to shift your DoT into the 4th gcd
because @ 4th GCD their raid buffs go off
if they don't know what they're doing just meikyou attack speed buff, damage buff, any combo finisher that isn't the 2 combo finisher into dot
honest summit
@keen fable So Im able to accept the quest anyway even though it says required level and stuff?
faint flare
No
keen fable
no, what i'm saying, is that shouldnt be a problem after you start again
it's possible you started leveling before the changes
and that's why you're not way ahead of the story
honest summit
Ok👍
keen fable
the first time you should hit a roadblock if you do nothing but required content and job classes should be level 46
because the msq jumps from 46 -> 49
other than that, you should be fine

running away won't do anything

so with the expansions, can you play through and experience the stories till Shadowbringers without end-game tier? trying to gauge how hard-core you have to be to experience the story

Surecast and Addle see much more use in Savage/EX raiding

ever since ARR the "end game raids" are not technically part of ARR

bar this one little bit in shadowbringers

for jibanyan legendary medal, I see that there are 3 zones to collect them, so I can collect 3 total for jibanyan?

5 if its the first weapon

Why is doublecasting scatter used on 3+ enemies, but not on two?
faint flare
10 for second
little swift
You need 10 past first one
faint flare
Because Thunder/aero does more and generates more mana
ripe grove
ah ok so I can repeat
keen fable
scatter always does more damage, but doesn't build mana gauge i understand that
little swift
@keen fable potency and mana generation
faint flare
Because then scatter does more potency
little swift
You would veraerothunder 2 and then 1 and swap targets
And alternate
But at3 the potency offset is enough to consider scatter instead
keen fable
wait so on two targets you use the second version of the ability
then the first of the opposite mana?
little swift
Its up to you based on what mana you want to generate

4 to 5 of these in 6to7 seconds is more value than your scatter combo

Hey folks: Lvl 44 on Cactaur server and I’m still in the ARR story. Is it worth it for me to change servers to a preferred so I can level up faster?
marble drift
no
marble drift
Also you're not underleveled. You're at an acceptable level range for the story you are doing
twilit arch
even if you level up faster, doesn't necessarily mean much because you still have to go thru the msq
the only reason why leveling faster would be a boon is if you want to play stormblood or shadowbringers jobs asap
marble drift
but honestly they're not limited time deals or anything
they'll be there when you get there

Gotcha. This really helps, thanks

Are the MSQs at level 50 after completing The Praetorium supposed to give next to zero exp? Its been like this for like 30 MSQs :S
faint flare
You need 5/10 of the weapon medal for the one you want
twilit arch
yeah because they are old max lvl msq
so they original never gave exp
they only give a bit because they're not intended to level you, and you're intended to start the next expac at previous level cap
so HW starts at 50

Hello. I am planning to return to the game after a LONG break, i finished heavenward story. A friend wants to play so I'm thinking of doing a new char to play with him and do the story together.
My questions are: does he need to buy the expansions now? or when he gets there? do you get an exp boost or something if you own the expansions? (I only have heavensward)
Also, what healer role is good to pick now? and tank?
leaden ginkgo
Agustin that gets them to 70- and from 70 to 80 I usually just spam quick exploration
done in a few days because i have no life
lavish vortex
@leaden ginkgo hahaha thanks, better than field exploration?
leaden ginkgo
I've actually leveled all mine through quick exploration
errr, as far as I've been able to tell- quick exploration will offer the same xp for only an hour
quasi hawk
field exploration before you go to bed, quick for when you're playing
lavish vortex
I don’t want to spend money so I’ll do it the free way
leaden ginkgo
the time to xp ratio is similar? but, rewards are different.
if you're farming something then field otherwise get your loot boy
