Stupid Question for Summoner: What happened to Miasma II ? I see a talent that goes from Miasma to Miasma III but theres no II ? Lol
One piece of gear, a stellacluster, and a coin are once a week drops.
You can get one equipment each week
Cards/minions/music don’t have any lockout
miasma 2 was removed awhile ago
@granite swan If it's a talent your ability gets upgraded to it.
OH right, Miasma 2 was scrapped in 5.0 iirc
Ah
miasma 2 stop being a thing for smn in like sb
with it being reworked into art of war for sch
Do Currents in HW and beyond showup on the map at all? or is it entirely dependent on the compass?
compass, or you can use a site like heavenswhere if you're not interested in hunting for them
ooh thanks alot
Purely compass, which can make for some fun incidents.
is there a leveling/spell guide for BLU anywhere?
One of the ones in the Lochs has broken more than one player. 😄
!faq bluguide
I kinda forgot how slow mounts are without flight or speed boosts
thanks
Until you can go fast enough where going "it's too fast!" you're always going to be going too slow. 😛
best heavensward location for yokai farming?
Hey guys, I recently started playing this game and had a quick question
The complete edition is on sale for $39 right now, and it includes a 1 month sub.
so is Ruin IV upgrade to Ruin II?
If I buy this right now, will the 1 month sub automatically activate right now?
Or can I save it and activate it later?
ah k
game codes dont expire
Perfect!
Ugh i had all my hotbars just fine when i was stuck pre 51+ story quests ... now i have to redo the whole thing lol
where can i get the whisper go mount? i need to unlock 13 mounts right? i have 15 atm
ok thank you
its not 13 mounts, its 13 yo kai minions isnt it?
yeah 13 yokai mounts
where do we get the mounts? is it from a vendor?
talk to jonathas in gridania
all achievement rewards are gotten from him
what area in gridania is Jonathas in?
Amphitheatre
Apkallu falls of old gridania
north part, to the left of lancer guild, kinda center of map
Marked by on the map as Achievement exchange
for the legendary medal for the yokai event
do i need 5 of the same minion
5 token minion*
You need 5 medals for the first weapon
For the first one
10 for second onwards
After that it's 10
Yes
oh ok
Yes it will drop the correct ones
i guess i am just gonna collect minions first
At least get 1 then have it out
You can do both at once
So you get both medals
yeah, i know it just region lock
60
Killing mobs
partner with a capped player, tag the mob and have the partner kill it.
And don't be in a party
Otherwise just solo killing.
Hey, I've heard Lancer be called "Floor tank," why do some people call it that?
because we die a lot
If you don't have a higher level friend to partner up with, soloing mobs a few levels higher than you is the fastest for BLU
I've never played lancer at all
Lancer/Dragoon has abilities that lock it in place, causing it to get caught by some heavy attacks more often andying as a result. It became a meme as a result.
It's really DRG more than LNC
But yeah, animation locks mean they end up tanking the floor (aka dead) more often than almost any other class.
dragoons, back in the day, also had lower magic resist than other jobs
so they died pretty easily to raidwide damage
Oof
neither of those things are really true anymore
And jumps had longer animation locks
Ty, now I understand the memes
Like, much longer
drg still has a bit of animation lock but its not nearly as bad as it once was
its a silence
No
!faq interject
It interrupts a spell specifically. Basically if the game says "the enemy is chanting something", Interject can interrupt it (usually)
Is there a way to tell which attacks can be interrupted?
Yes
If they have a flashing cast bar
See the image
As shown in that image above
That was posted
So funny seeing my girl in bikini top and hot pants in snow covered lands and everyone else is shivering :p
The Warrior of Light has natural cold immunity
WoL ain't mortal. Why would we be affected by something as mundane as the elements?
I can eat a Akh morn
quick qn on yokai watch event...1) We need to equip both the watch and the minion when farming FATES right? 2) The medals and legednary medals drop is random? Doesnt mean you do 1 FATE u get 1 medal...etc?
Snow is barely an inconvenience
you only need the watch for minion tokens, and you need the minion for the legendary tokens
Watch is only for the basic medals. You need the minion in the correct zone for the legendaries.
so once you've gotten all the minions, you don't need the watch anymore
why does AST use herring pie as raid food this tier?
In particular you need the minion summoned for the weapons.
!item herring pie
*Chunks of seasoned herring baked into a flaky crust that's been shaped like a fish so as to inform the eater to expect savory instead of sweet.
EXP Bonus: +3% Duration: 30m
(Duration can be extended to 60m by consuming multiple servings)*
8% [134] (10% [168] HQ)
8% [81] (10% [101] HQ)
8% [172] (10% [215] HQ)
have been doing abt 10 FATES, but no medals dropped so i was wondering if im doign aything wrong
I’m guessing to hit a specific spell speed tier
Probably for the SpS and Crit
make sure you're in the right zone for that weapon/
i suppose so
otherwise, its just rng for legendary models
legendary medals is rng, but normal medals should drop per FATE? tks again @twilit arch
i can't do anything with my Phantasmagoria or Allegory until I'm done with ShB MSQ right?
Nope
yeah you need to complete the main scenario quest "Shadowbringers" before you can see the npcs
thought so; thanks!
how do i get ppl to join my treasure map pf? lol
depends on what kind of map it is exactly
zonureskin
What's the best way to level a DoH class from 1-50 if you don't have the collectables system unlocked?
i.e. the first time through
You won't have access to collectables until 50ish anyways
That's... why I'm asking lol
Ixal beast tribe is good.
Got it, thanks
1-15: crafting log is fine
1 to 20 you can do one of everything in your vrafting log and class quests
15+ leves/ixali beast tribe/ restoration if your msq if far enough
In #doh-dol-lounge we have leveling rotation pins as well
Is cane of the white tsar (none-glowing version) dyeable?
yes
What’s the name of the glowing one? I’m being awfully ignorant at the moment
sharpened cane of the white tsar
@mossy tartan If you want to find out if a piece of gear you have is dyable, look for a dot in the upper right of the icon. If there's a dot there it's dyable.
Do sidequests offer significant enough XP that I should save them for other classes or what?
Since all but my main won't get the boost of MSQs.
side quests really arent that amazing of exp, can skip if you want. though they offer decent stories
can classes of same role (like White Mage and Scholar) share the same armor gear?
yes
most gear is shared between roles
its just the job specific gear (also know as artifact gear) that is not, and weapon ofc
is artifact gear raid gear?
Nah
No
If the Job or Disciple group is on the gear, you can equip it.
No idea if this is spoiler or not since it relates to class quests but
||Are there Ascians in all the class quests or just some of them?||
You get handed at set of it at each expansions level cap more or less, but its the worst gear at that level cap
Ah k
@mossy tartan If you want to find out if a piece of gear you have is dyable, look for a dot in the upper right of the icon. If there's a dot there it's dyable.
@plush hound thank you
thats the main one i was curious about heh
some jobs start at lv50-60. When I start them, will I start at lv1 or continue from their starting level?
at their starting level
basically what level they are unlocked is the level they're going to be when you switch to them, the exception to this is the heavensward jobs that require you to be lvl 50 to unlock but they start at lvl 30
How the hell do you find the next job quest
Cant find it anywhere even when i look it up on google
flying mount is given at the end of lv1-50 MSQ? Or in between?
All mounts can fly
@tulip plover if you're still working on the quests between the end of ARR and the start of HW, then you need to progress thru those first before you can do the 50-60 job quests
then the same applies there
you need to progress to stormblood to be able to do the 60-70 job quests
Are there Hunt Logs for classes in HW and beyond?
nope
k
Do certain minions only work in specific zones for the legendary medals for the yo-kai event?
Yes
yup
The yokai compendium/medallion tells you
What does this unlock?
Where can I view it?
Its basically a russian style dance
Okay, thank you
No one has it yet but 1 npc previews it
its from the dwarven beast tribe, and one of the dailies shows it off
is it just me, or do ARR zones with flying have slower movement?
im in Potd city and im slow af
on ground and air
do i need the riding maps?
did i do something thats making me slow walk?
okay Kael wait wait wait, I'm still confused on savage loot. Furthermore, players will be ineligible for rewards from treasure coffers as well as Eden's Verse apocrypha when replaying a duty prior to the weekly reset.
As in, you get one shot a week in each of the four wings for loot
if you dont get loot on your first shot, sucks to be you, wait till next week
sometimes the game can be a bit finicky, i usually find that stopping and flying up again "fixes" the slow flying
If you enter E8S you lose all chances of loot for E5S-E7S that week, including the weekly page
yet if someone has completed it and joins a party- they decrease the treasure drop?
yes
So that experienced players can help newer ones clear, mostly
but it's true that they can't roll? i'm understanding that correctly?
i see.
To prevent hardcore raiders from easily funnelling gear to a single person
well i lucked out and got 2 coffers 
sometimes the game can be a bit finicky, i usually find that stopping and flying up again "fixes" the slow flying
@twilit arch i toggled walk only on accident when messing around with numpad buttons
big facepalm moment
Are the Neir raids tied to MSQ?
wow so people who don't get loot, that's terrible 🤣
No
The only msq requirement for the nier raids is that you need to complete "Shadowbringers", but other than that there's no tie to it
Ah
how do i setup my ACT to look similar to this
I got the moon fairie set in the dresser and make it a glamor plate to check it out. Now, how I change back to my glamor-less gear?
Need glamour dispellers to remove glamours
You dont, you are forever stuck as a Beach Bum! Mwahahaha ... jk
thought DPS add-ons were against ToS, but considered a mod and some people do it anyways
They technically are
anyone experienced getting put on a wait list to buy the complete edition? by the EU sqex store fwiw
but its a "dont ask dont tell" kind of situation. Basically SE cant tell if you're using it - unless you say something in game about it, at which point they can and will ban you for it.
They basically dont care as long as you arent harassing people about their shit numbers
hey is yokai event account wide with rewards?
understood thank you ❤️
Why do the Gnath remind of of something from Kenshi? Lol
Also for the Yokai thing, can you pick which minions you get or is it random?
You pick
ooh nice
Should I transmute all the materias i've got from lv 1?
not sure what to do with them
What type of stuff would a RDM want for accessories? Casting?
Yes, casting
k
@patent citrus Grade 3 materia (combat) can sometimes be pretty disproportionately valuable. Check MB to see if its worth selling on your server
Or transmute them
correct? 🤔
When you transmute, you can sometimes get a higher grade
so like 5 1's could become a 2
But yes, 3 should go on MB
1/2 either transmute or vendor
If I don't loot on puppets bunker can I loot it again this week
is being able to fly account or character based? Like if i make an alt, can i fly without doing MSQ etc?\
or i guess the better question, is there a list of what is account based and what is character based?
character based

i wonder what's account base 🤔 pretty sure all are character based
Almost everything is character based. About the only stuff that is account wide is collector's edition stuff and some mogstation optional items.
ah
mostly mounts are account wide
most, there are a few character ones
Hey im stuck trying to start doing adventurer squadrons .. looked up online guides and stuff but nothing ... i basically started with 3 recruits and i cant start doing quests until one more recruit but there’s no one at the enlistment papers and i have been doing challenge logs since forever .. but i haven’t finished any challenge log this week yet .. any help?
I dunno if i could suffer through 20 lvls of MSQ again on foot >.> lmao
ok pfft ||Bahamut|| as a smn, i want a ||Ravana|| summon
Can someone tell me the datacentre ip's?
!faq datacenterip

so on a preferred server will my character retain road to 70 until patch even next patch is longer than 90 days away, or will it expire at 90 regardless?
Yes, you keep your buff as long as the server stays preferred
which of the three poetics sets have overall better value for alts? ironworks, shire, or scaevan?
I think i can live with 150
I think i can live with 150
@sharp axle the game was designed with latency in mind, that's why the global cooldown is 2.5s
I know
at least you're not playing 4.3 Machinist
Honestly i have not even switched to that job in ages
which of the three poetics sets have overall better value for alts? ironworks, shire, or scaevan?
@leaden ginkgo they're not comparable since they're for different level ranges. each set is good for that range because its easily accessible
@leaden ginkgo They all have worth. Ironworks is best for level 50, Shire is best for level 60, and Scavean is best for level 70.
I guess I'll just get the shire set, I feel like spend more time in that range rather than 70
shadowbringers dungeons drop a lot of loot
IIRC they merged the upgraded sets didnt they?
yes, can only get augmented now
How often should I water the garden ? What's the timer before the plant goes bad ?
Which is why half of my 70 set is higher than the other
@sharp axle They removed the upgrade items. You can buy the Augmented for 100 poetics more.
if i get the 17 yokai minions before i can unlock mounts would i still get the whisper go?
@sharp axle They removed the upgrade items. You can buy the Augmented for 100 poetics more.
@plush hound only scaevan and shire though... sadly
get them at the calamity salvager
@hearty acorn yes, the mounts are Achievement rewards and can be claimed at any time.
I'm stuck with unaugmented ironworks caster set
wanted for my BLU
the NPCs won't accept my carbon materials, so I guess I'll just throw them away
hopefully they change that in the upcoming patch
Pretty much. The upgrade items are worthless now.
yes, I have
then talk to drake
wow, I didn't think of that, I'll go there right now
Can I set up a custom framerate?
My laptop can run the game on 150 - 180 fps max
But the screen jags
turn Vsync on
do you need the specific yokai to get the related legendary yokai medal
does the weapon for yokai level specific?
yes, you need to have the minion out to get its legendary medal
what i mean is that if i exchange my medal for specific weapon will it be level80?
no
they're lvl 30 weapons
Does the game have an auto-navigate thing for quests? Finding myself lost XD.
Man okay, hahah um, how do I get to Lower La Noscea from Limsa Lominsa?
Question i plan on buying the full game. Is it cheaper to buy the complete edition, or buy the starter then the rest?
go to the upper decks of limsa and exit the zone line to the south
unless you can find one or the other on sale, they're going to be roughly the same price @leaden ginkgo
figured theres no other place to get it on sale huh
well just missed the square store sale
so probably going to be awhile before there's any more sales
complete edition
If you're supre sure you're going to buy the whole game, may as well go for complete
yeah just gonna buy complete now then
now if only SE had better dl servers
hmm should be like 10 mins
just got it
or something
when I purchased the game, I waited another week to activate so not sure
can you do anything with triple triad cards you already have or are you just supposed to discard them?
So are there only specific fates you can get Yokai medals from?
Not spefic fates, specific areas
no, any fates within the specific zones for that yokai works
infographic with the various zones is in the pins
When should I be using recitation as a SCH
It buffs your Aldo and succor massively
Primarily used on Excog
Just so I'm understanding right: there is no point in casting bio on the same target twice unless the 30 second timer is up?
What areas are the new ones in? Because I was thinking of using this to level gunbreaker.
And it can be combined with emergency tactic too
Unless all the FATEs are too low level.
Cause free aetherflow, fey gauge and buffs one of your best heals
In which case I can't.
Gnb is all stormblood zones
Same with dancer
@waxen scaffold correct, with Dots you reapply them as late as possible
Ty! I didn't notice anyway to see how long a target has left for the effect, do I just need to keep track of it in my head?
And would my bio stack with another person's bio?
Yes
And you should be able to see them on your current and focus target
ah k, ty!
How do you tell if a certain quest is beginner to beastman questlines?
is there a limit to medals per day?
i was doin good for a while but not getting any now
whats currently the best way to get phantasmagora, after roulettes
make sure you've got the right minion out + in the right zone
@bold mirage hunts are pretty good for phanta or farming anamensis anyder/heroe's gauntlet
thanks!
@twilit arch if I re-do the expert roulette (because both anamensis and heros is on it---I still get the tomestones from thsoe dungeons just not the bonus roulette one right?
ya
sweet thanks

Does carbuncle have health/is able to pull enmity or not?
nope, carbuncle can't be targetted by spells/attacks
so they can't take damage nor tank for you
@twilit arch i was told the kaiyoko infograph was wrong and she had an updated version, just in case anyone else asks
so i did have the wrong minion out lol
whats the proper timing for the castrum meridianum collosus boss skip? i know you want to stun at ~80 hp but when should the stun end, or how long should it last?
rip, well we've got the updated infographic pinned in here
They do take damage, i dont think they have hp or if they do its infinite, ive seen dmg #s pop up over my furball
you might have been mistaking it for something else, but neither smn/sch pets can receive dmg
I'm going through the Alexander raids, and I get Gordian materials afterwards but can't sell them. What can I use them for?
the precision stuff is used for anima relic items, the unidentifiable items. can toss those or hold onto them if you want to do it later
the non precision bolts and whatnot is for exchanging for the non dyeable raid gear
Lv 60 class quest, does it give decent armor?
I got a buddy trying to join my server but can't. Is it worth it to try another time or is it not a big deal to be on different worlds
yeah the lvl 60 quest gives basically entry lvl 60 armour. its good enough until you get the gear from post msq or poetics
@full juniper its not that big of a deal to be on different worlds, so long as you're on the same datacenter. unless you really want to be in the same free company then he needs to be on your server
which in an few hours, should be able to make a character on the server since most of NA should be asleep by then
@twilit arch have you ever noticed a server not being open for long period of time like days on end?
if the server is super popular, its possible that the temporary lock doesn't get lifted for a while
since its based on how many people are logged in currently
No way to find out how long a server has been locked?
nope, as i said the temporary locked is based on how many currently are logged in
Does how much you participated in a fate affect your legendary yokai drop rate?
and that kind of information is not something we have
Thx for the info
no, so long as you're getting silver/gold iirc you should have a chance of getting legendary medal
rng is rng
Bronze gives nothing?
I saw someone with an axe with two balls swirling around it, does anyone know the glamour?
From A12S
!iglam Alexandrian Metal Axe
doesn't really show off the balls but they're there
I don’t see an option in any of the 4 NPCs in western ||eulmore|| to get an augmented neo-ishgardian gear piece
Hillicen is the npc to talk to to augment neo-ish
Thank you
Where do I go to get Scaevan gear augmented? I went to the Calamity Salvager in Limsa but there's no option to trade it in like the patch notes said there should be.
the option is under "deal in spoils"
Can i do gold saucer stuff or however the place is called on free trial?
its unlocked after completing sastasha
yes, you can. the unlock quest for gold saucer is in ul'dah @lone zephyr
yes, party finder is unlocked after sastasha
@twilit arch I just wanted to confirm, I was able to upgrade my ironworks gear with Drake by using the carboncoat/twine materials.
I guess it's now safe to dispose of the leftovers? (I also have Encrypted Tomestones)
reminder that party cannot be created unless you are sub
yeah
!poetics
no reason to keep any extras, nor the tomestone since you can't exchange for the weapon itself anymore
The lack of the ability to get unaugmented Shire and Scaevan Rings is honestly a pretty terrible thing while they're still Unique.
Are those also purchased with Poetics?
yes
i'm trying to launch the game but it tells me i dont have a file called dxgi.dll...what do i do?
Is there a gear progression guide?
So once you get all Yo-kai watch pets, can you throw the Yokai Medals?
You should just grab ironworks gear and itll be the best you can have as a level 50
thanks
Does it matter which area I'm in for the Yokai FATEs?
It's just that you seem to get medals regardless, but there's that image in the pins which associates a given minion with a given area.
if you're getting medals for the minions itself, no it doesn't matter what area you're in
but when you're working on the legendary medals for the weapons you need to be in specific areas with that specific minion out
Ohhh... whoops, I didn't quite grasp that.
so if you're working on getting noko's weapon, you need to have noko out while doing fates in southern thanalan/north shroud/outer la noscea
Is there a way to know what level of fate in each zone?
I mean, ideally I guess I want the right level for what class I'm grinding.
usually you can guess based on what level MSQ went there
generally whatever level the mobs in that area are, are the levels of the fates
or you can base in on msq, yeah
Also that
Where do i go now to get upgrades for 70 scaevan gear?
talk to the calamity salvager in any of the three starting cities
they will augment shire/sceavan gear, its under the "deal in spoils"section
I only had half the full set when the patch hit
So i now need to find the upgrade option for 100 poetics
Anyone able to tell me where i go now?
talk to the calamity salvager in any of the three starting cities.they will augment shire/sceavan gear, its under the "deal in spoils"section
Ahh thanks Vinyl

Thievery success
Huh?
Kael answered your question before you asked it, as of where to go
Can I get help with my keybind
I want to use alt but whenever I move to the left or right it opens up Aliance chat
keybind > chat > temporarily switch chat mode to alliance and either right click to clear it or change it to a different keybind
Gratze
Can someone explain the side portals during unjoined aspect in phase 3 of E7?
Who?
Iconoclasm
for normal mode?
Yeah
Who is Keal?
so basically you want to get hit by the opposite colour what you are
and you need to pay attention to which colour goes into which portal
I’d this collab just for minions and weapons?
How do I get the mount?
Fashion only iLVL 1 or actual weapons?
so if you're black at the start, you need to be hit by white. If white goes into the red portal and black goes into blue you want to get hit by blue because you were switched at the start to white
once you've gotten the achievements for the mounts, talk to jonathas in gridania @slate crow
So it has nothing to do with the fates?
You still need to do the fates to get the medals requires to get the minions/weapons
Level 30 weapons
but once you've done that, the mounts themselves will be gotten from jonathas because they're tied to the achievements
So just fashion
So I have to get all minions? That’ll take a while.
Not really
yeah, its actually decently quick this time tbh

Weapons are 5 medals.
Where do we report Kupo Bot for off-topic in this channel?
The first mount is for all minions (easy), second is for 13 weapons, third for 17 (all) weapons
Fudge.
Oh there's two more mounts?
ye
Are they as lame as the first?
How long is Monster Hunter?
One for minions is whisper mount, 13 weap mount is glowing whisper, all weap mounts is the Jibranyan couch
Monster hunter is perm
13 weapons is way too much of a grind
go grind 17 now
I did 60 fates and got two weapons
doing the monk quest, should I ||help widargelt?||
wow really? lol
I keep getting Please contact the SQUARE ENIX Support Center for additional details.
Error Code: i2501 but i'm not using a VPN or anything anyone know why
Your choices don't really affect the game ever
yeah I've heard that
guess I'm just surprised that's the case for such a binary option
guess I'll see how they spin it one way or the other
When is this option I forgot
level 45 monk quest
try using a different browser or mobile data @leaden ginkgo
if neither of those work, you'll have to contact support, i2501 is a super broad error that sometimes fixes itself. other times have to deal with support
hm ok
there's no one fix for it :\
i'm trying to launch the game but it tells me i dont have a file called dxgi.dll...what do i do?
Is something other than the minion being out required for the legendary event tokens? I've gotten gold on numerous fates in the correct zone and nothing
rng is rng
Anyone done the Mog Trials? Up do i get up top? I cant find a way up
Legendary tokens are rng?
yes
Yes
Gross
Like 20%
I'll just go for the minions then, thanks for the tip
You should get at least two weapons if not three while getting all the minions
Why is that?
Rng evens out
@granite swan there's a ramp on the west...ish side of the area where the mog chief is
Cos you need like 60 regular medals for all minions
@twilit arch Thanks i was looking outside :p
That would mean having to stay in the correct zone though
is there a way to copy a hotbar from a HUD layout to another layout?
Not a major issue
Also a lot are in the same area
Like say you want gnb and dnc weapons, both are in the exact same zones
All you have to do is swap minions
I'm also using it to level my arcanist so the selection is limited
Does anyone know where to get the aether compass after purchasing the stormblood story skip?
i recently downloaded gshade, how the heck do i hide this thing away. sorry not ffxiv really question
nevermind found it
all gibrillont has is a quest titled drinking the pain away and has no option for getting an aether compass
you need to do that side quest before you can get the compass from him
Is there a way to turn off this Brightness/Darkness stuff? Like my screen seems to change dark/bright mid combat and its annoying
About 49 standard medals, I'm guessing?
Would I ask here regarding an installation issue?
My friend’s trying to install the game, however everytime her download reaches 12% it says ‘Unable to download patch files’ and instantly closes
is there a fix?
maybe tech help would be better?
so I have a friend that needs to complete Praetorium and I need to complete MSQ roulette, is there anyway that I can make sure I get Praetorium if we all queue for MSQ roulette?
My first assumption is space or admin priv
There wouldn't happen to be a way to cheese past the rng of the legendary medals would there?
Ah okay I’ll ask her about those and if thats not what’s causing it, i’ll see into tech :) ty
damn, oh well
Dancer seems to do well too
hey question im a max lvl drk and war here i want to do some mount farming trials and end game raids but i dont want to leave my fc who are real chill bros does anyone got a discord i can go to and join for this?
it's the lack of fates that poses the biggest problem
there's 3 zones per weapons (more if you're doing shb/sb jobs)
what do i do when the tank dc and never come back?
kick them and try to find a replacement
I'm bouncing between western and upper la noseca, the fates get knocked out way too quickly and don't regen fast enough
yes, assuming its not a premade group
oh ok
i got dc and the launcher isnt loading for me ._. did servers go down or something
are there no raid or mount farming discords you can join but dont have to join there guild?
does anyone know where ffxiv saves the backup file by default?
does anyone knows where to get a luminous crystals
you need to do fates in heavensward zones
- Azys Lla: luminous fire crystals
- Churning Mists: luminous lightning crystals
- Coerthas western highlands: luminous ice crystals
- Dravanian forelands: luminous earth crystals
- Dravanian hinterlands: luminous water crystals```
any fates in those zones has a chance of giving the appropriate crystal
@twilit arch thank you very much for your help

I hear yokai fate farming is also good for atma farming. I haven't gone far into my first relic weapon yet, how long would it take to get to the atma stage so that I can farm it while also farming yokai weapons? Is it feasible?
Hi does anybody know how to fix the problem in which neither the website or the launcher works? I was doing a dungeon and it seems I lost connection of the game (internet was working fine) and after that I have been unable to log, and I cannot enter neither the mogstation, or the lodestone, or any ffxiv related website
try doing a router hard reset, you might have a ghost connection
or easier thing to do atm, reset your computer
did both of them already
but its weird bc everything works
but FF xiv launcher or websites
odd
worked now again wtf
sadly I was in thel ast boss of my raid so rip 😦
that was 20 min ago D:
Was there an update to crafting recently? I failed a craft, and they gave me my materials back?
What’s a good way to find a raid group for specific raids
I keep looking up information about classes, does choosing my class matter THAT much when it finally comes to raids? I like Machinist so far but I see comments about how some raids just won't let you join if ur not a "meta" class like summoner. I just don't wanna learn the 2 minute rotation, I wanna shooty shooty
Id say it probly depends on your FC and if you plan to do max tier raiding
I'm babi level 50 right now so not anytime soon
Theres always gonna be that elite group that is like ... you need to be xyz and pushing 1892986 dps
I’m just looking for a party to do extreme rathalos
@glacial oasis Id say play what you want to play and find a group of people who are fine with it
@granite swan Okay, thanks 🙂
Could anyone help me when it comes to setting up the multiple rows of keys?
Right now I am doing shift and control for rwos 2 and 3 and kinda hurts my fingers sometimes
I was thinking maybe putting it on my mouse buttons
I have 2 side mouse ones
dont see why not, if you can get your muscle memory to remember it
It just hurts to press control alot lol
It's too much a stretch from Ctrl to the middle numbers, right?
can use the keys around WASD
Or to like slap my palm on it
Ctrl-1, I'm fine, Ctrl-6, I don't love it.
I never thought to try my mouse side button as a function for that, but thats a good idea :p
not like the button is used for anything and my thumb is right there heh
I mean, yeah lol
how many silver medals do i need to get all the yokai minions?
does anyone have the yokai event guide i remember seeing a screen shot that explained everything but i cant find it
pins
ty
So using mouse buttons doesn't work cause for some reason keybinds can't read holding down mouse buttons
hi im new to the game got no clue what im doing, im still lvl5 should i just be doing main quests? and about the gear rewards do i choose gear or this gold thing?
if on free trial, never pick gold, since u will hit gil cap pretty easily
!faq newplayertips
but yes gear to help you through the MSQ is good
when should we expect 5.4? ^^
Hey is there a server I can use to find raids?
image wall of text T_T
probably early december late november
serious?
#recruitment-primal
Oh thanks
so i shouldn't get this allagan bronze piece right?
we're on schedule again so it should be about 3.5 months ish
no get gear for your current class chizu
i think next year
I made an alt on another datacenter, and I feel pretty undergeared. I don't have GC seals unlocked yet, should I just buy vendor gear?
What part of HW has the gear merchants in it again?
jeweled coizer
so which one do i get?
the one for the class your playing
what class are you playing chizu
arcanist
where's the setting to disable to sound that plays when an ability isn't ready?
the one that gives intelligence
got it thanks!
Im lv 54 summoner but i dont see the quest to unlock my skills
Do i have to complete arr
I check the wiki and it starts at 54
Unless this was change recently
Legendary medals are a rare drop, even with the right minion out?
Cause I haven't had one yet.
I would say I got them like 30-40% of the time?
Do i have to complete arr
@vestal needle yes you have to complete ARR and be in heavensward to begin the next set of job quests
Got it. Thabks :)
@violet star could there be a requirement I've missed? Got the watch, got the right minion following me...
But still not one.
@vestal needle Ya its a really long slog before u get access to the 54 skills, but then u can blitz to 58, and then have to wait again forever for 60
can someone help, im seeing the noti for 50% off on complete edition until 27th august, but when i proceed to store, i just cant find it
same
Thats for the Collectors Upgrade part and not the game isnt it?
seems their twitter/facebook are showing the sale ended yesterday

Got my miner to 50, is there any armor to upgrade to? Or just go with my lower level gear?
can probly find a vendor in revenents toll for lv 50ish crafter gear no?
i was looking to purchase the game today, but not at full price
though i had till thursday, august 27 at 12:00 a.m. (PDT)
yeah i saw that too, for me the price is 39,99 down from 79,99
if that price is not the full game already, then what?
the mount/glamour/toys from the Collector Editions
YES, first legendary at last. Hahaha
is there any forums or avenues for LFG for PoTD pref floor 50? Queues are absolutely abyssmal, been waiting for hours
before floor 50*
Not that i ever found, i spent 5 hours tryin to do 41-50 and kept failing ...
Is there anyway to "find my main" I like summoner but the rotation is so long, I am playing machinist but I'm told it's kinda horrible in comparison to other ranged DPS
is there a way to disable the chocobo music when you're on a chocobo? if i have to keep hearing this song i'll going to self cannibalize
I think the biggest thing holding PoTD back now is free trial dont know they can do it past 1-10
Quicc question, sorry for busting in through your discussion, how much content is there compared to 70-80 levelling once I hit 80?
I'm trying to put together an elementalist/green mage/nature glamour for RDM. Any suggestions for a good starting point chest wise?
@brave ravine System config, sounds, uncheck play music when mounted
@glacial oasis people telling you a job is bad are silly all jobs can do all content fine
omg thanks
But the DPS and stuff? @little swift I keep seeing on like tier lists Machinist bad Summoner S tier
@grim pivot you open up a 8 floors of the 8-man raid, 2-floors of the 24-man, like 6 dungeons, several trials and their EX versions
and a bunch more msq
But a patch will shuffle that anyway @glacial oasis
But the DPS and stuff? @little swift I keep seeing on like tier lists Machinist bad Summoner S tier
@glacial oasis tier lists are stupid here
i'm not even joking
Just use the job that has a theme and style you enjoy
statistically the percentage difference in dps is so low
how much more MSQ? Im currently at the point where ||Vaulthry told Crystarium why they attacked with their Sin Eaters||
I like my yeehaw overheat guns
that you could just get good to make up the difference
you're close to the end of 5.0
like 2 dungeons and 2 trials
Thanks, I was worried that I would have to drop it to win raids and stuff when I finally get there
!faq meta
Nice
o
the difference is low
He does mention every minute or so that the difference is marginal and you can play everything
and take it for face value
thats on not everyone then, not on Desperius
but his videos articulate it as something that matters
even if he himself says it doesn't
i respect his ACT setup video
and his glam showcases
but not a lot of his "guides"
There are tierlists of subjective opinions on the hotness of League of Legends champions, you can make a Tierlist of this too no problem
but the difference between the "hotness" topic vs something like dps
is that there's data behind the dps numbers
that said the data also shows that "non-meta" jobs clear on equal terms
Sure but the bigger issue, if we go this route, imo is people constantly saying how tight DPS checks are. If its so tight why can you play machinists and heal on a Paladin for a few seconds
the dps checks are tight because people can't do their rotations correctly
and aren't optimizing uptime
it isn't about the jobs
I just wish BLM was a little more interesting, I like the explosions but it's slooowwwwww
Maybe, but you cant say "DPS checks are horrendously unforgiving" and then complain about a DPS tierlist
Thats not how it works
maybe to the endgame player it does, but not to everyone else
dps checks are tight because of gear and bad rotational uptime
it has nothing to do with job tierlists
Eh even if it's a 0.01% difference some people enjoy that so why hate on it
I know a few people who enjoy finding out which job is best and learning it
Cause meta can cause players like myself to avoid classes they love?
I like watching them, I get to hear an opinion on classes like I would otherwise only find it on a 2 hour podcast
Well this game doesn't need you to avoid the job you love
i'm not saying you can't watch a content creators content
not at all
i just wouldn't consider a lot of it as "guide" worthy
I agree
its more like they have an opinion and thats fine to have
XIV seems to lack good content creators
but some people push their opinions as fact
To me Desperius' videos dont sound like a guide at all, at least the tierlist ones, and I say that as a new player that needs guides for almost everything
and that isn't okay
Ye I agree on that one. Its one of the things that ruined WoW for me
"No you cant play this, you have to play that"
Meanwhile Im above them in HPS
a lot of desperius' old "guides" had some wacky openers that he pushed as really good
which is what soured my opinion of him
otherwise he works hard at his content
Im gonna pretend I didnt read that one. Wtf
Yeah came out pretty harsh
Point is he makes it obvious in his tier lists they aren't necessary
Yes but he even says so multiple times throughout the video
He might push his opinion a bit too much but he makes it clear its an opinion
he didn't before
but people did give him a bit of trouble for it
i'm not hating on him at all i do think a lot of what he has is fine but there are definitely lots of better resources out there for guides and such
is there any additional files i need to download after switching from trial to complete from the launcher?
the whole game is roughly 50gb?
oh no
you should have some of it already
a decent amount
you have ARR and HW
so thats like half of it
plus a good chunk of the data is downloaded because of people's gear and such
After buying the full game on steam my friend can't start the game it gets stuck
@glacial oasis Your friend need to register the game
Is there a way to disable mount music? I want to hear the zone music not the same music over and over :S
hi, how do i check my progress in the last yokai fate train?
buy/farm more unique mounts
Which zone has the highest FATE levels and is able to give the basic medals for the yokai thing?
(Also, why did they not make Eureka NMs drop medals?)
Is there a way to disable mount music? I want to hear the zone music not the same music over and over :S
@solemn shard its under sound settings
under duty > collection > yokai medallium you can check your minions and such
also medals are in your inventory
oh there is new yokai
@warped nest Yeah but he can't even start the game, it just sits on downloading cause he has to demo downloaded
Which zone has the highest level FATEs for yokai medals?
Game is constantly trying to download in C drive even tho the launcher is at D drive(downloaded through steam) no option to change download path ,i only have 17 gb in C,Any help will be appreciated .
I think you go to the launcher settings themselves and change the install location
no i cant find such option
Do mounts drop like regular loot and you roll for them ?

I keep doing MSQ with SMN/SCH, should I play other jobs in order to save up EXP quests, so it won’t waste a capped job lvl? 
WHM is good 😉
Depends how far into story you are. once u beat ARR, all the quests between arr and hw give like 4500 xp, so not a total loss
Post expansions usually give you less XP that point
oh i didnt see 73, ur not free trial capped :p i dunno then
in all honesty, if you have access to duties, those are best way to lvl up classes
anyone knows what is the best way to find parties to do duty roulette level 50 - 70
i just unlocked that
I check the MSQ quest line on web, the conclusion of 68-70 is near for me
Just queue?
Just do queue
just queue up these bad boys and you're set
where can i find stat priority for things
it says i need to gather a party in order to queue
for some reason also saying i didn't meet the requirements
iLv= Item Level
where can i find stat priority for things
@ivory trout The Balance
What does it say ._.
How much iLv requirement
ty
It usually tells you
wwhere is the balance
it just says unable to register, two or more duty requirements unmet
and the requirement is 45
Here
it just says unable to register, two or more duty requirements unmet
@acoustic osprey Have you unlocked any dungeon in the roulette
at ilvl of 61, they should have at least did some of the early MSQ progression dungeons
question, you a free trial user Azure?
nope, do i have to do the ones after that
Yes
By Lv50 dungeons, I mean the ones that you can only go to unlock it after you hit 50
The list is up there
nope, my character is only lvl 64, but I can do some of the dungeons
If you have unlocked at least two of those then you can queue
so i need to unlock ALL level 50 dungeons before i can queue for that
No, at least two
Most of them I remember are 
does the ones from MSQ counts
Accept all the blue quests for expanding the roulette
Snowcloak does IIRC
found out the requirements
access to this Duty Roulette requires unlocking a minimum of 2 of the included dungeons. Players must also have an average item level of 90 or greater.
for the 50/60/70 dungeon roulette
So does The Keeper of the Lake
you should be able to do duty roulette leveling without any issues
but if the lvl 50 dungeons from MSQ doesn't count then i know why
That's why I'm asking you if you have unlocked these dungeons
rn i have 3 lvl 50s unlocked 2 from MSQ
what's the go-to armour set for a fresh lvl80 chara? neo ishgardian or something else?
so if MSQ doesn't count then i know why
full list just fyi of what is put in the roulette
are all Yokai minions 3 coins?
what's the go-to armour set for a fresh lvl80 chara? neo ishgardian or something else?
@frozen karma You can get i430 from Grenoldt in The Tempest for free.
tbh, I unlocked some of these dungeons simply because class quest demanded so
@frank ridge is that post ShB story?
If you progress through MSQ you will unlock the roulette evetually
the system didn't really state clearly that MSQ ones doesn't count as well, but whatever i know that now
@frank ridge is that post ShB story?
@frozen karma No it's just before the final dungeon
that's the job gear right? or something else?
Yes
how far will that take me in terms of what I can do with it for raids and trials?
Are relic weapons one continuous quest?
And what are tomestomes of phantasmagoric used for?
Or you can just buy Neo Ishgardian from Market Board I heard it's cheap now
Any recommended party configuration for running a duo fixed party in PoTD?
And what are tomestomes of phantasmagoric used for?
@slate crow For i460/470 gear and some crafting materials
from floor 1 to 50, adn we're both sprouts
Are relic weapons one continuous quest?
@leaden ginkgo It's a questline so there are multiple quests.
If you're asking if they connect between expansions, no.
yep.
What's stats should I be supplementing with materia for Gunbreaker?
can Tsukuyomi's weapon and suzaku'weapon desynthesis out stuff that glowing version required
@rugged flicker SKS to preferred GCD > Crit > DH > Det. Ignore DH if you also play warrior
I desynthesised out seiryu's scale once.but never have seen feather
Unlike the other tanks GNB is comfortable at varying GCD speeds instead of preferring a certain range
I am still clueless on how to adjust for GCD, it's pretty much a foreign language to me.
You can probably ignore it in Gunbreaker's case, since they don't really have a "required" GCD speed to do their burst
Never done tank before, might as well be telling me how to assemble a particle accelerator from scratch.
Which thing does Ixali need for beast tribe? DoH or DoL?
some quests do want you to be a miner/botanist/fisher for a step of them
but you don't need higher than 15
but in the end they all want a crafter
@rugged flicker pretty much, yeah.
So just put everything on Crit?
wherever it can fit, yes. and where it doesn't fit you put det or DH
Gnb has a preferred range of 2.45 to 2.40 but it plays fine at anything you're comfortable with
Like outfit it as if it was for DPS.
wow i didn't know you can leap off the rock from titan fight
and i just died liek that like an idiot
Yeah you can get knocked off too

And you stay that way too until the fight ends
They fix out of arena deaths later
You'll spawn on the platform dead
