For the lols
i wonder why
Not for old fights but it does get better later
Hello! I'm still quite fresh to the game. I've leveled one DoH+DoL to lv50+ and I'd like to ask if I'm not understanding the gear 'progression' rightly? As I've found it much harder to do my Ishgard class quests, and I'm in a full set of lv50-ish store-bought gear.
The lowest-level-req pieces available from the Ishgard vendor
Hq vs nq also makes a difference
Hi all, are there any unobtainable items with unique stats in this game? I'm talking about things like Atiesh's Staff in WoW, where the stats on an item aren't available on any other item
Left is all il80 except my belt, and right is all il45~49
Youre probably struggling because your accessories aren't quite there yet
Yeah
@jade mortar no weird stat items
@little swift Nothing at all? I know Hermes shoes are unobtainable, but I'm assuming there are other feet items with the same stats out there
how do you increase your iLv at level 53 though, cause i need to increase mine for the hard mode dungeons
or i just ignore these and do MSQ
Did you do your job quests
i read reddit it says trade seals or something
You get am i90 coffer
Then along the MSQ you get better gears
use poetics for ironworks gear
Really there's nothing currently that doesn't use the current stats available
Thanks you two
i120 upgradable to i130
Gear here is either cosmetic or stat sticks
ahh okok
@frank ridge you can't get the 120 stuff anymore its 130 only
Oh yes I forgot
But if you had both you can still upgrade them
i130 will take you to like Lv55-57 dungeon
55 is where I'd draw the line
The defense difference and gear curve is big enough
As a tank/healer youd notice
Having to heal i120 tank in THAT lv57 dungeon is a nightmare of its own...
Its less apparent in shb though
What's the wilt time of allagan melons?
That’s a relief. I thought I’d need DoH/L in the late 40s like the combat ones for Ixali quests
which raids currently have a weekly lockout and which are farmable?
The current tier Savage Raids and Alliance Raid
Puppet Bunker and E5-E8S still have the weekly lockout
that's puppet bunker and eden verse savage right? Everything else I can just farm as much as I want?
They unlocked Eden Verse Normal with 5.3 did they

Yes
If I already did the Yokai Watch quest from last time I don't need to start it again right? I can just go right back to the NPC and get back to it?
I think the next expansiuon should be called ... The Silent Nod
So you need to get regular medals from FATES, then after that you need to call the certain minion whose medal you want then do a FATE to get his medal for the weapons, right?
The fact that the WoL ||nods too much|| is a spoiler so you need to talk about it in #archived-lore-spoilers lol
I have a 60 job I want to level, what areas should I go to? I have all the other weapons so I won't need to go to the older areas
Fringes or Peaks
^
or Azys Lla, not sure about the EXP gain from those fates
Azys Lla could work
Seems I never did get the 4.0 Yokai watch arms.
Are all of those also farmed in fringes and peaks?
HW and SB
All of them?
Not as many people farming this time even though there are new weapons
does you level increase your chance when desynth
Desynth is always 100%
No
Level has nothing to do with desynth
only desynthesis level does
15 min queue for seat of sacrifice is that normal for ffxiv?
also ppl only do normal once and never again with the exception if they get it in roulette
Also 15 minutes isn't that long
yeah that makes sense just figured new content out for less then a week so i figured as a tank queue should be super quick
Desynth level
Thats your desynth skill
It should be quick when there are people online
You increase it by desynthing stuff
If that number is higher than the value of the item you are desynthing then yes it increases chance of rare items.
For gears it's almost always the iLvl
i cant break suzaku weapons
is it because my bsm is low lvl or beacuse bsm cant break those?
Some things just can't be desynthed
should say on the tooltip which crafter is required
the crafting job that can repair it is the one that can desynth it
suzaku weapons are old and can be desynthed tho
I'm level 35 right now, is this yokai watch stuff temporary? I figured that it would be easier to do if I unlock flying first
Itll be here for 3 months @leaden ginkgo
It lasts until 5.4
Since it wont disappear until 5.4 patch
If I server transferred to a different data centre but sent people on my FL stuff via mogmail, will it disappear when I leave the data centre or will it sit in their inbox?
what's the easiest way to get large quantities of field demi 1?
I don't see why stuff in their mailbox should disappear
And buying from the market board or hoard buying something that can be desynthed to them
@gritty oracle desynth brass rings of crafting
can buy those from the accessory vendor in the starting city marketplaces
Oh wait... I need to have the Yokai watch equipped to get the medals don't I? ~.~
Only the minion medals, then you need the right minion out but not the watch for legendaries
Well, guess I gotta lose a stat boost for this <.<
Not necessarily* the watch
thanks Wynne!
Technically 15
But realistically, you'll have a much better time of it if you wait until you complete the 50 MSQ which unlocks flying.
You have almost 3 months so there's no rush on the event
Oh really? I tought it lasted way less time
do you still need to equip the yokai watch for legendary tokens
No, just have the right minion out in the right zone
No, got the warrior weapon without getting any of the lesser medals because my dumb ass accidentally reequipped my max iLVL set for Dancer and didn't realize it.
The watch becomes useless once you have all the minions
So how do I get another watch again? <.<
Threw mine away long ago
Can't see an option to get a new one
calamity salvager iirc
Really? I recall there being an option to get one from the NPC
For field demimat 1, any low level crafting or gathering gear works, correct?
Is server down? or something? I was playing at morning well... after I went off for lunch time and try to go in, I getting this error again and again. How to fix it? please help me.😢
@gritty oracle yeah
@leaden ginkgo Try starting from admin.
Are future content like "seventh era" quests?
@leaden ginkgo Try starting from admin.
@gritty oracle How ?
How Does FATE Contribution work?
@gritty oracle I am running from steam actually
Run steam as admin then maybe?
Ah, next major patch for the end of Youkai Watch event is about 3 month?
@gritty oracle I dont see any admin in steam
when I click play in steam, it will run
have you tried turning your computer off and on again? and as a last resort, reinstall xiv
I did turned off and on again my pc and tried but it was not worked but I didnt try reinstall xiv but in my internet, it will take one day to complete download
oof

hi where can i buy the full game for this?
i tried the mog thing and it wont let me
What exactly do you mean by "won't let me"
What is the required gear level for the latest main story dungeon or trial in Shadowbringers ?
I think the sale ended
What is the required gear level for the latest main story dungeon or trial in Shadowbringers ?
@compact rose 465
sale ended August 19th
Is it 'worth it' to set up ACT as a bard main because I feel like i'm only playing yahtzee/dice with my repertoire procs and can't really improve that :^)
so when is the next sale?
That is a high gear level for the MSQ. Does the main story give you gear that allows you to reach that gear level or do I have to grind the raids?
The new dungeon gives you 475 and Phantasmagoria stuff are already 470
The crafted set is 480 you can buy those as well
@elder pendant sales are completely random, there's no real schedule/rhythm to them
one may happen closer to the december holidays or close to black friday
will i still enjoy this even if f2p?
The deepshadow gear is enough for the main story?
Augmented ones are
For accuracy sake, it has Free Trial
Free Trial is mostly social restrictions
you can play all of the base game and the first expansion
For the Yokai mount, do I have to go see the NPC in Gridania?
cause I got the achievement for it, but i cant find it anywhere?
It's under Quests
ah. so i gotta go to gridania?
yep
alrighties. Thanks
So I will just have to focus on getting the augmented deepshadow gear so I won’t be level gated by the MSQ. Thanks
just a side note, for anyone farming outer la noscea for medals, im not sure, but the drop rate in the tunnel fates (which are respawning non-stop) seem very very low
So I will just have to focus on getting the augmented deepshadow gear so I won’t be level gated by the MSQ. Thanks
@compact rose I mean, you can literally just go buy Neo-Ishgardian set on market board
guys are these relic weapons worth it? lvl 50 weapon? I read i need alchemist lvl 50 or just buy em? but i am free trial still xD
Don't forget the gears from Eden and Nier raid
@weary burrow it is for glamour now
Not worthwhile to grind the weapon to use it in battle
it is like a big upgrade though from my current, but yeah if its like huge work then prolly not worth the time i can put into diff stuff
Just spend your Poetics on Ironworks weapon >_>
i'm new that tells me nothing, but i'll google
Oh okay. So when you reach Lv50 you can go into dungeons that will give you a kind of currency called "Allagan Tomestones of Poetics"
You can spend that for various stuff. But your main objectives are the "Ironworks" gears.
ahh, cool imma do that then
Which are iLv130.
Allagan Tomestone are the endgame PvE currency
And there is a whole river of them, but only 3 are in active use
what do i do weith extra yoikai medal/legendary
Throw them away
Poetic tomestone is the universal tomestone for all lvl 50/60/70 endgame related trading
Throw em
No, the sale still going but its not in the mog station
oh
its in the square enix store
I don't recall the original Yokai having cutscenes when you bought them. 
Do they now, or is this only for the new ones?
nah. all of em hav a cutscene
Don't think they did when they first did the event.
weaps too
A loooooooot of farming
fastest dungeon to run at lvl 50? I did the story dungeons yday but they are reaallly long when people watch cutscnes xd
Gridania achievement guy
Oh there's also the neon version of the mount.
That one requires you get all the weapons, I believe.
HMmh...does SE ever releases the lyrics of songs or is it mostly interpretation?
the Jibanyan couch wants all the weapons
fastest dungeon to run at lvl 50? I did the story dungeons yday but they are reaallly long when people watch cutscnes xd
@weary burrow There is a Roulette for the two 8-man dungeons you did. It rewards 300 poetics on top of the 200 you get from the dungeons themselves
Koji will usually release the lyrics at some point.
And a ton of EXP
Usually at Fanfest.
wow I see! is the tome cap 450 like wiki says?xd per week
That's for Allegory
Other tomes don't have a weekly cap
There's a hardcap at 2000 for all tomes tho
Noob question. Does tinc work on dot skill if I use it after I cast dot skill?
oh and when u start a dungeon eat food so u get the extra xp
Noob question. Does tinc work on dot skill if I use it after I cast dot skill?
@hot crane Nope. DoT snaps the damage when it is applied.
for example
Ty storm
how long is the event going to last till
Which event
5.4
@weary burrow Oh and if you join a FC u also get extra xp
yokai will be till 5.4, we dont know exact date but about 3 months i believe
@leaden ginkgo Uh... I've been playing since early access in 2013 dude <.<
i meant to tag other person
lol
There's another Gato? :O
I mean, there always have been a couple other Gatos in here, but I never see them.
lul

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? Been trying to log in all week, can log in on website and on phone, but cannot log into the game via the client... Characters show up online and only ever had 1 account for FFXIV but no idea whats going on
it HAS sub, but it says its expired?
Take a picture of this part of the mogstation for your account
Where are you launching the game from?
steam?
you don't have a steam license
Same as always, just doesnt work
You need to rebuy the game for Steam
rip
you're on a standard PC license which cannot be played on steam
Ive only ever played through steam though?
🤷♂️
Either way, your account should only be able to play on the non-steam launcher for PC.
So if thats not working how do I play without steam? And do I have to redownload the entire game then? Havent played since stormblood
You might be able to do file shenanigans with moving stuff around to avoid having to redownload everything, but I don't play on PC to know if/how you can do that.
how do I unlock the event mount?
If you already got the amount of needed minions/weapons, go to Jonathas in Old Gridania at Apkallu Falls to obtain achievement item rewards
does anyone know if the collector's edition of FFXIV include any 2-4 player mounts?
ah okay thanks
does sub have regional pricing? what's the lowest possible sub price?
GBP is the cheapest IIRC. But it also depends on your currency
or get the game card
he has a trial of his own
can i queue up the same duty with my friend?
Is there an efficient way of checking if the moon faire fate is up, besides hopping to costa or asking someone?
yes you can, if you have bought the game, you can party up with them
or someone can make party for you and leave
no
wait so a trial player and a sub player can't party?
ah alright
they can
oh
i can put in my code but... EFFICIENCY
the sub player can invite the trial player
just not trial with another trial?
but not the other way around
i see
a sub player can invite 2 trial players, and leave the party
that way the 2 trial players are in a party together
oh ok
zzzz tonights not my night it seems, at least I can log in with this client i guess http://puu.sh/GjRPN/5d546d667a.png
so i heard its best to do ALL crafting jobs? that true? also, what is all? how many? I know there are like 8? xD
yes, they use materials from eachother
so unless you want to buy materials on the market board, its better to level them at the same time
about 5 or so, its very simple, lets say you level armorsmithing, and notice you need "magic thread", but your weaver can't make that yet. its time to level your weaver a bit more
all crafters can also use the same armor
i do like crafting ;D
so leveling at the same time means you only need 1 armor set
hmmm cool
I don't like having blue quests open on the map, however all the ARR/HW hard/extreme/raid blue quests who require me to finish the actual acivity as the last step keep clogging up my journal - and the queue for them never pops, is there any way to solve this conundrum that I'm not thinking of?
Unsync it with your FC or a PF
Oh that works even if the quest says "use duty finder to complete"?
i just queue them while doing other stuff, like MSQ, they eventually pop and it feels more accomplishing doing it synced, the thing that clogged up my journal the most was job quests for jobs im not currently leveling
Hmm I've been in queue for like 5 hours and no poppage yet
theres poetics gear for 50, 60 and 70
you get 60 armor for poetics in idyllshire after finishing HW
actually, you can get it in ishgard now
i just queued for one at a time, good point, i never did anything outside the roulettes, didnt think of that lul, thx
from the npc with blue shop icon
shire is 60, you can get it in idyllshire once you enter it which is around lvl 58 in the msq
or in ishgard once you complete heavensward
also for the extreme trials you want to look up a video so you can give everyone pointers, if you dont they will run in blind 5 times and wipe, and then vote abandon
just party finder
if you have skills you can do damage
better than normal classes at the same level even
Just 200 potency tho?
If the puppet bunkers says rewards received 2/3, is the last part an actual equipment? I didn’t loot any item
yes
some skills do a set amount of damage, or even % health for blu
2/3 means you got the cluster+coin from your first run of the week
Do BLUs benefit from Aug ironworks?
I assume there is no BLU ionwork gear
Ironwork weap*
of melee, only tanks need skillspeed?
no weapon, there are no real weapons for blu (they all have the same damage stats)
But should i kit my BLU in ironworks/shire gear?
yes, the potency skills still benefit from stats, and most skills benefit from speed and such, there is even BiS gear on the balance if you really want to go super into it
if you are just looking to do fates quick, you dont need to go crazy
Nah. I just wanna level my BLU
sam has certain skill speed tiers it wasn't to hit @weary burrow
Im guessing just fate running should be ok.
Can anyone recommend skills for fate train? I've got ram and dragon voice
open world monsters (not fates) are best exp for blu
and monk also has a "sks to comfortable tier"
I got to 60 blu in like an hour with some guy killin stuff in azys lla
if you ask a friend (level 70+) to one shot mobs you tag, it takes 30 minutes to go 1>60 on BLU, i did it yesterday with a friend (on preferred world)
Im tempted to 2birds1stone it and do fate train for yokai as well
Cuz my BLU is 50 currently
auriana doesnt have weapons to trade?
aelina has the weapons
ty, i think i saw the same stuff in uldah, with rowena i belive
yeah there are also splendor vendors in starting cities with the ironworks gear
but its no different than the gear you can buy from auriana and aelina
cool cool 😛
my friend has issues with no system icons showing up
any1 know if there is a way to show the system icons?
something like this
Check hud layout and see if they’re toggled off there
ok

press escape -> character config ->

trythat
if not, you could go to press escape -> hud layout -> right click the relevant parts
if I want the allagan melon minion and the housing item it turns into, do I need to grow two?
I guess so, minions are usually consumed on use
Yes
Though the minion may already be cheap-ish on the marketboard if you don’t want to wait a week for it to grow
so im level 54 atm still finishing up AAR MSQ, then i came across this a relic reborn quest
it needs me to get a level 55 weapon in other to forge the relic
do i just ignore this and live it for later, since it needs me to be a goldsmith of level 50
item level 55, not level 55
but yes, leave it for later, its optional item just for looks at this point
and it can take months to finish it
oh wow okok
Months is definitely an exaggeration with how nerfed the relic is
But it does require a lot of effort and a good amount of Gil if you want to complete the whole thing
someone doing it casually at level 50? (so no unsyncs really), months can definitely be accurate
What part would take months? You can do the light-grinding undersized with something like Tam-Tara normal or Ifrit normal
Though the minion may already be cheap-ish on the marketboard if you don’t want to wait a week for it to grow
@obsidian patio I want to get into gardening for onions anyway but I'm starting totally fresh, lots to learn but I hear its simple enough
you can only get teh scepter via crafting right
Yes, or by buying it from the marketboard
just the books part alone i would say 1 a day is on pace for casual playing
you will also need a few specific materia put into it
Im watching how to grow in a planter bed for crossbreeding but for one-off items like the melons, what do I need besides seeds and potting soil to grow these inside? Do I need a pot?
the materia price is cheap, just not sure whether its worth the investment
like i don't even know what's the meta end game weapon
and is this relic weapon worth
Only for looks
you can glamour it onto your actual endgame weapon, but the weapon you can get from poetics at lvl 50msq is already better
poetics?
@tardy patio yes you’ll need a pot to plant them in
still haven't got there yet
those red/black credit card looking thiniges, in ctrl+c
just clearing up a bunch of blue marker quest
Tomestones of Poetics are earned from level 50/60/70 content
i think you would have some if you are doing the lvl 50 blue marker quests
You already earned some from Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium
will I get atmas as a normal item or key item?
Normal item
normal item
ah that yes those, haven't checked where i spent those poetics at yet
at mor dhona, or any major city (blue vendor icon)
!faq poetics
not worth spending on armor for poetics at lvl 50 right
since end game is like 70 onwards with ShB
I want to change my grand company but i’ve already unlocked squadrons with my current one .. does my rank reset to 0 with the new grand company? How long will it take to unlock squadrons again?
hmm then i will spend when im gonna cap
so just spent poetics on leveling gear
You’ll earn plenty of poetics before hitting 70
It's worth it to buy the 50/60/70 poetics gear for leveling.
And you can easily earn more through daily roulettes
The Main Scenario roulette gives 500/600 a day for little effort
little effort, but 30-45 minutes of your time :p
(It’s a roulette with only Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium in it)
Big picture those 35-45 minutes aren't actually a huge time investment.
I mean, if your time is limited daily, maybe, but mostly it's not
in my eyes a "normal" player plays maybe 2 hours a day

or maybe casual is the better term, not saying people who play more/less are not normal 😄
My "normal" is about 4 hours (on weekdays), making an MSQ roulette equivalent to 1/8-1/5 of my playtime.
So I consider that a baseline.
But I guess it's relative.
i geuss msq roulette is also quite rewarding for your time if you need the exp
Yeah, msq roulette is a really good investment. Good xp + 1/4 poetics cap in rewards.
For those who play NIN, is it okay to take Throwing Dagger off the hotbar?
so for poetics lvl 50, im guessing the no brainer better weapons
are the oenws with higher item level
Yeah, you can if you don't need it.
It's good for soloing if you need to grab a single mob out of a pack, but in instances you're not going to use it a whole lot
take throwing dagger off key yes, but i keep it on hotbar, its super useful for knowing pull distance in case you want to place doton before boss
Well, depending on the boss, it can also sometimes be free damage that you'd otherwise be missing out on
SoS EX has alot of times like that
since the range it becomes available is pretty much aggro range
Yeah @acoustic osprey You'll want the Augmented Ironworks weapon for your class.
where you get forced out of melee range
And all of the Augmented Ironworks gear too.
is there any point keeping green rarity weapons though, like maybe dismantling them for mats
For dismantling if you want the mats, or you can trade them to your GC for seals
Green anything either gets dumped at the GC for seals or desynthed
Unless you want to keep it for glamour
okok so not in the trash bin
No. Almost nothing gets trashed or vendored on priority.
Unless it can't be desynthed or traded for seals
what GC rank do you need to be to dump items for seals?
Basically the only things that get vendored are things specifically designed to be vendored.
Second Lieutenant @gray sage
Such as Clear Demimateria III's
Literally a vendor item
I think that's wrong Aura
Sergeant Third Class should be Expert Delivery
Hi so I play on pc and leveled up some jobs but when I move to ps4 on the same character the hotbar doesn't update and I'm missing a lot of abilities and spells, is there a way to auto put them in or do I have to put them in manually
Are you using the same hotbar format on both systems?
PS4 defaults to WXHB
PC defaults to standard hotbars
Hotbars, including their content, are stored locally
In that case someone needs to update GamerEscape
Balmerick got the sergeant, I got the "second" lol
gamerescape isn't wrong on their grand company rank page
Yes they are
Oh god
nvm
the formatting
who puts the title of a section on the bottom of the section
@leaden ginkgo Between that and the fact that the settings are locally stored, you'll need to set your bars on PS4 manually.
Ah okay makes sense thanks
for a cross platform game they really should make settings like hotbars be stored on the cloud or something, so its easy to switch between PC and PS4 if you happen to own the game on both.
Hello, I am new here and having trouble installing Final Fantasy Online. I keep getting an error code
hmm looks like it may be a routing/porting issue. most of the suggestions i see is using like a vpn to download the patch files
or flushing your DNS cache
How does one do this?
so how does World bosses work? where grinding some fates in Yanxia when someone called out the Fox Lady fate, didn't spot it on the map so i assumed that whoever called it out knew it would pop soon. But by the time i arrived, i could see the boss from the air and as i got closer, the FATE showed up and it had like 1-2 minuts left on the clock.
idk if flushing DNS helps, but to do it you would hit Windows+R, type CMD in the box that pops up and hit enter. When the command prompt opens, you would type :
ipconfig /flushdns
and then hit enter.
are those types of FATES not visable on the map untill you yourself is close enough?
correct, world boss fates do not appear on the map
you have to find them yourself. Their models are super big so they're quite visible from a distance
that said, all of the current world bosses (except for odin because he can literally spawn anywhere in the shroud) have specific spawn points
so can look up old threads on most of them to know where they're spawned
Usually if one spawns and someone finds it, they'll call out the coordinates and wait until the timer reaches ~15m before pulling to let people get there.
that too ^
Hi, Im a returne to the game. I was curious on Palace of the dead. And how to effectively farm it. Also what level to stop. My goal was to reach to level 60 Dark knight and continue the story from HS DLC.
Nitpick - it's Heavensward, and abbreviated as HW.
the floors most people do is 51-60, though if you've not already cleared floor 50 to unlock the check it can be a bit of a pain to get there
My bad.
as people don't queue for the inbetween floors
However, POTD is not ideal for Dark Knight
that said, as a dark knight its not really recommended to do potd
since you have quick dungeon queues
Oh
do daily leveling/alliance/msq roulette and then queue for highest level dungeon
barring 50, do aurum vale or palace of the dead instead
Thanks
Well the flushing DNS didn't work
flushing DNS usually requires a reboot after

tbh i didnt think it would, just detailed the instructions since the other guy didnt

just for the future, is there something like the Duel Arena from OSRS in this game? fighting within certain rules betting gold and who wins takes the platter?
not really
No betting buts there's a dueling area
Well you can bet verbally but whether or not people honor it is 
:[
can I new game+ starter city or when I select one of three Grand Compaines?
not yet
ARR is not in New Game + as of right now, but will be added in 5.35
man pvp betting would be nice but this game doesn't want to implement anything that resembles competitive
:[
but there's ranked PvP with rewards for top 100...?
and there's crafting rankings when ishgard restoration happens where you get a sick title for top 12 and a slightly less sick title for top 100
only a true psychopath persues those titles though
so, only the top 100 get something while if you aren't a complete sweatlord you can't get anything? :v
There's also rankings for deep dungeons for people who play for high scores
hey you said there wasn't anything resembling competitve, here you go
I think you still get some Wolf collars
The top 100 get unique reward like mounts, armors (for glamour) etc
yeah you get wolf collars no matter your placement (how much depends on placement)
100 reward is a special items, mount/armour like lchronos said
Those will not repeat and will never be available again
(well... Kinda sorta won't repeat...)
In my experience its not exactly hard to reach top 100 cause of how few people play PvP in the first place but its still pretty competitive
In total fairness, you're on Crystal. Crystal is somewhat known for being the place to go if you want to top 100
True
You get Wolf collars depending on your ranking each season which can be used to buy excusive weapons
Hi, I’m New and could use some advice
Advice about...?
not as bad as the Crystal vs. Aether/Primal raid split
I did some dungeons because I really liked it, and now I’m level 40 while still doing lvl 24 msq, is this a problem, is it worth starting over for if you want to experience the story line in a fun way?
Being overlevel doesn't make your story easier
You can continue the MSQ as you wish
You'll get synced down for the solo instances in main story and dungeons I wouldn't bother
Don't worry about it
Being overlevelled won't impact your enjoyment of the story
MSQ isnt hard in the first place
you can get another class and get level 24 doing levemetes
If you want to stop being so over leveled you could change to samurai or red mage when you hit level 50 and soak up some quest xp as them if you want
Its not a "problem" but getting that far ahead of the MSQ is also slightly wasteful. You might consider picking up another class/job if you're going to keep doing dungeons/roulettes/etc. regularly so that you dont waste your MSQ exp
assuming you aren't on the free trial anyway
It is only wasteful if you are capped with your level
how long does one get to keep road to 70?
What optional content is still fun/smart to do?
@normal tusk 90 days from date of character creation, or when the server stops being preferred - which ever happens second
I found levemetes boring but I like the hunting log
Road to 70 will be lost to you when the World is not preferred and your character is older than 90 days
Also not sure in what order to do stuff
@leaden ginkgo story quest and job quest are the two most important thing you need to keep up with
Road to 70 works on crafters and gatherers right
Yes
whats the best way to farm seals?
i see
@foggy surge what level are you
Job quest, so the conjurer’s guild in my case?
For now until you unlock White Mage
Which actually
never mind
You should have unlocked White Mage already
If you didn't GET IT NOW
(assuming you did) your job quests are in Camp Tranquil in South Shroud
it sounds like they're at sastasha-copperbell
but they said 24 MSQ
oh right, fair
But yeah if you haven't unlocked White Mage I heavily suggest you do it now
whats the drop table for edens verse savage
The unlock quest is in the conjurer guild once you've done all the class quests
@simple shore 57
yo-kai medal doesn't ave 100% drop?
!faq savageloot
the medals for minions are 100% (if you get silver/gold rating), the legendary medals are not 100%
class quests stop at 30, which you can then pick up your job quest
and job quests are from 30-80
@foggy surge Okay, assuming that you have Expert Delivery unlocked (Second Sergeant with your GC) the best thing to do is to unsync dungeons and turn in everything from them. At 57, if your gear is up-to-date more or less, you ought to be able to solo most any ARR levelling dungeon.
Alright, thanks
Im level 55 now on PAL but I cant get the next paladin quest which is supposed to lvl52 my friend says its because my main quest level is low Lvl 50 Back and Forth is this correct?
Yes
yes you need to be on the heavensward main scenario quest to get the 50-60 job quests
it'll be the same for 60-70, you need to be on stormblood's main scenario quest to do those
Ok guess i had better do some quests then
anyone have an idea when patch 5.4 is
3-3.5 months
how do i win a fight against multiple quest mobs simulataneously? my casts keep getting interrupted, sometimes 5x in a row
What job?
blm
They normally cant interrupt you with auto attacks. Their interrupt usually has an AoE marker
Sleep one. Surecast to cast with out interruption. Swiftcast for an instant cast.
Yea sleep helps a lot
The obvious first question is "what gear are you using vs. what level is the quest"
blm has a sleep ?
Usually having difficulty with quest objectives is a product of letting your gear get really far behind
and im using the gear MSQ provided me
Yes, it's a level 10 spell
That's not an answer though
is chest pieces from puppets bunker more common to drop by the last boss or is it any boss..not done the raid that much so haven't seen them commonly shown up
What level is the quest, and what are you wearing
lvl 10 spell
oof how did i never notice that
average ilvl is enough
lvl 65 ilvl 266
Hmm, that's okay. A bit behind but not by alot.
i guess the sleep will make the difference
i cant believe i overlooked that spell all the time
What about gear btw, will my lvl 36 market gear do for now?
Make sure you're using the right rotation
@hazy flint the final boss chest has a chance of dropping everything but the boots but it drops 4 pieces of gear rather than 2 so yeah i guess chest is more likely
BLM rotation is decidedly VERY non-intuitive in the 60-70 range
ok I got hat and boots...just wondered if they tied chest in to be more on the last boss @twilit arch cheers 😄
@leaden ginkgo since your overleveled you will get gear in MSQ that isnt on level but it will do until you reach level 50
but that said, only 3rd and final boss can drop chest pieces
Cause you cant do anything your level without MSQ
what is visting other server option at the teleport cystal?
first boss is helm/boots, second boss is gloves/pants
ah....
it lets you change to a different world in your data center
how easy is it to get moogle nuts? i noticed i need 3000 for the twine and I wanted to go down this path because I dont think im savage skill line yet
!faq whmlevelling
so if you want to play with friends on a different server or check out the prices of an item on different worlds, you can
please use #kupo-bot-spam if you're testing out commands. that said only blm has a leveling guide @exotic tusk
oh I thought that all classes had, mb
is it a good idea to get to less populated server for FATE grinding?
Only blm has a levelling thing cause it changes dramatically as it goes
Yeah BLM's the only one thats so convoluted to merit its own level guide
Other jobs dont
Are there like guilds in FFXIV?
Free Companies
its up to you, momo. if you're finding it hard to get gold/silver on fates then yeah going to a quieter server could be ideal
or could wait a few days
the yo-kai event isn't going anywhere for 3mos or so, so you've got time to do it
err about the moonfair event, i managed finish the fate but wont let me finish the quest. am i doing something wrong?
did you use skill 1 on the bomb
Did you get gold on the FATE?
if not, you need to do the fate again and use the skill on it
did you use skill 1 on the bomb
problem is i cant use it at all
move in closer
skill 2 to fill bar
skill 1 for ???
skill 1 to fill bar
Skill 1 fills the bar
skill 2 to heal the bomb
ohh i see
Move into melee range > spam 1 on the bomb until it has 2 stacks > wait until its stacks go away > rinse repeat
how would sea players go about buying the game? from what i read it needs a real address from the region that we would choose?
put on the watch @plain python
SEA players play on JP data centers, Tonberry is the biggest english speaking one there
From what i recall of previous talks, people just used a random address from whatever region you were going to use (I think NA was common choice since its cheaper but i might be misremembering)
are the lvl90 gear given after arr not dyeable?
the i90 gear no
aww
the i50 gear can be augmented to be dyeable
cant even glamour too :/
you need crafted items called "<set name> augmentation"
From what i recall of previous talks, people just used a random address from whatever region you were going to use (I think NA was common choice since its cheaper but i might be misremembering)
wouldnt there be like authentications and such that would require said address
so like for the dragoon version, it'd be "drachen armor augmentation"
alright, can I get it even with free trial?
@simple pine what watch?
ok thanks
i believe it was mentioned to keep the address somewhere safe, though not too important since most of the people talking about it were buying digitally
unfortunately, we haven't had a lot of SEA players come thru so i'm not 100% sure about that
could try making a reddit post to get more eyes on this, or in #general-discussion or #video-games-general
might get the SEA players who have gone thru this process to chime in
the yokai watch that you got from the quest, its an equipabble item that you need to have on to get blue coins @plain python
lol lol lol
I completely forget about it
oh well I have 6 komasen coin already. one more for the staff
what class has the big advantage in Fate grinding? my healer cast so slow
BLU
if you don't have blu, you can also do one of the physical ranged jobs
Probably dancer for point blank aoes
So dont need to target
Just sit in spawns and aoe
Yes
esp the power of light + friensship scene with everyone screaming and charging towards the bad guy
that made me cringe so hard

i liked HW story buy people saying it was the best story in gaming kinda overhyped it
so it does get better, but go in with low expectations and it can only pleasantly surprise you
Unity conquers all. Even cringe

ARR is pretty dull
Can you please remind me how you get the Dyable lv 50 SMN horn?
Everyone agrees on that but it is needed as a basis for future events
i don't even wanna comment on how underwhelming the tribuni is
I liked Stormblood more than Heavensward, i don't know how unpopular is that
or gaius
But Dragonsong was great for me
I Wana play DRK and my plan is to unlock it then use that as the first job I max.
What's the best strategy for levelling a DRK if you don't have the MSQ to do??
you need the Evoker's Attire Augmentation item and then talk to kakalan to augment the evoker's gear
Dungeons
dung spaming
and roulettes
Tanks get fast queues so yea spam dungeons
the augmentation is lvl 50 alchemist craft, can also buy from the marketboard
And tribe quests
Ok thanks guys! ❤️
does AoE heal affect non-party player? Someone said use it in Fate
it does not
No it doesnt effect players not in Ur party
no
ideally you want to be in a party for the fates anyway, since its easier to get full credit with one
which is why aoe heals is suggested, since it generates enmity and thats one of the ways credit is determined
whats the difference between say and shout 🤔
Say is close
Shout is zone wide
ah okay
@twilit arch where is kakalan mate
was sligtly confused by that since i am a free trial user (for now)
Yell is slightly larger say
Mor Dhona (22, 6)
ty
cannot shout as free-trial :shy:
Yep
understadable realy
makes the yokai event harder lmao
spam macro for normal chat I guess
if I visit other server, can I move back to Tonberry?
yes the same way you visit another world
Yes
can I get locked out of the server in case it is full like when creating characters?
No
no. i dont know if you might have to queue, but definitely not locked out
No. The same way you aren't locked out from logging in as long as your character already exists on a server
I see
hello, is there a purpose of doing daily the hunt other than the rewards for each kill?
How do I prioritize Kenki usage? I find myself constantly guessing how much kenki I should have left over when kaiten comes off CD, and it messes up when higanbana also comes off of cooldown so I have to double it
whats the difference between say and shout 🤔
Say reaches everything you can target, shout is the entire zone- and there is also /yell which reaches anything visible
@frank wigeon no real reason other than the rewards they offer
They dont give XP or anything
@jolly sorrel between lvl 52-62, just save enough for Kaiten Higanbana
hey just beat 5.3 where do i start my relic weapons at?
Just reached level 63, and that's indeed where my confusion started.
!action Hissatsu Kaiten
@ivory pewter talk to Keiten in Kugane
At lvl 62+
ok will do ty
You should always have enough Kenki to kaiten
Though you need to have beaten the Ivalice alliance raids first
All your iaijutsu skills
i need to do raids to unlock my relic weapons for shadowbringers?
yes
The Ivalice raids from Stormblood
that sucks
so the Moonfire event, there is this doctr viera! were do I get her coat??
they shouldn't be too hard to do at this point
So I should always keep 40 kenki in reserve?
The resistance weapons are directly related to Ivalice
so where do i go to start the raid quests?
Question
Keiten in Kugane
If I glamorize an item from lvl 60 will I be able to wear it as lvl 23?
No
Interesting
Glam has to be on or below your level to wear
and on or below the level of the gear you're glamming it to
So the moonfire Faire, there is this NPC Thracie, can I get her white coat??
Thanks :3
may i ask, what is the use of gil in this game?
buy glamour
T^T I should had knew that coat is for crafters
Also Sam question, do I use Meikyo to start up my buffs, or do I start up my buffs and then meikyo for a double Iai?
@crimson notch There isn't much beyond glam and buying mounts
speaking of the moonfire faire is it currently possible to get the ranger theme orchestrion roll?
Once you become an omni-crafter/gatherer you have no need for money anymore
Housing, glamours, crafting.
Outside of glam and vanity things
even without crafting there isn't really a whole lot to spend gil on
Crafting is a big sink and source of gil
I disagree
If you're not an omni gatherer it is
If you are, then it's a no cost business
i see... thanks then.
Well yes. If you spend time farming your own glamours its also a no-cost business
but thats entirely missing the point
What I mean is farming glam is more time consuming than becoming an omni crafter/gatherer. But yeah, crafting is a big gil sink if you're not a gatherer
Uhh, how do i get the non- glowy mount? I have all minions
do !reset in #kupo-bot-spam @deft quiver
I think the long and short of it is, you use gil when you don't want to farm stuff, and the only things you can use gil on are glams, housing, minions and crafting.
need to have all weapons i think 🤔
But again, at some point you won't have to spend gil on crafting anymore. And then it's really only glam and mounts
thanks
in the website says 13 minions u get access to the non glowy mount and then 13 weapons the glowy version of the mount
And I guess gear as well, every expansion has a crafted variant of endgame gear
@leaden ginkgo Gridania. Gotta talk to the achievement guy i believe
oh sorry i misread
how do i add materia to a weapon?
@deft quiver i went to the achievement guy and i got nothing from it ;W,
meld master near market board in most big cities
or meld skill if you have it unlocked
or u can request meld
No clue then, sorry.
@leaden ginkgo did you actually search through the menus? You have to select the items you want he doesn't just hand them to you
Did you actually use the minions
ye i summoned all the minions
Check the book in the collections tab
Jonahas > the second menu > quests
Every box should be filled in
@exotic ridge You can either find a materia melder as mentioned, or you can use a crafter to attach it yourself. You'll find the blue quest at x23 y13 in Central Thanalan. You need a crafter at level 19 or above
as sam, is it better to use hakaze combos or fuga combos against 2 enemies?
Fuga
are there only ironwork “armors” for the left hand slots?
You get sens faster
Need gold on fate to get yokai medal right?
Yeah got it sorted it didnt do what I thought im doing the Relic Reborn quest bought the weapon from the market added 2 materia to it and it doesnt complete what I need.
^
Gives same amount?
Yes
aah ok thx
are there only ironwork “armors” for the left hand slots?
@honest anvil right side also exists but is in a different menu
I think it's heaven's eye III materia? But don't quote me on it
battledance 3 can I buy them?
Are those still in the same shop?
Should be the same NPC yes
Oh, it's battledance III. You can buy them on the marketboard @exotic ridge
okies thx
Shouldn't be too expensive iirc
lol none listed
you can buy them on mb or there are some side quests that give materia
ill find them nw
Wait they're not listed? 
There might be an aeolian scimitar that already has melded materia. I know there were a few when I bought mine for the Curtana
Is there a way to remove materia? to get rid of the duff ones
Yes. You can remove it with a crafter

oh yes sorry i forgot
you need a crafter to put materia in
I know that. I thought it was the same for removing materia

Asked before so sorry for the repetition - does anyone have droprates for each of the shb ex mounts?
how do i make it so the 6th hotbar emptys when i switch to arcanaist and doesnt keep my bard stuff
Uncheck the shared hotbar option in system settings
Whats the drop rate on Gwibers?
pretty low
Is it worth trying, or should i just wait until next big expansion
Is there something like a lightsaber for glamour ?
im in no rush to get them
I'd say go for it if you can do them!
@proven bay where is it?
I think it's in the system settings tab. In the hotbar section
character config > hotbar
Well there you go
iirc
is there any pvp mode that is actively played? I'm queueing more than 1 hour now
@limpid lantern the weapons from Palace of the Dead and Heaven on High glow
Frontline and rival wings
Is every build/class viable for end game dungeons (and every dungeon in general)?
yes
dungeons are casual content
I am asking because I read that there are classes/builds that normally do not get chosen (for a team) for the hardest dungeons
I see, thanks
!faq meta
For example, like , I read on a post that Black mage is a class that is not "preferable" at the moment of being chosen for a squad for the hardest dungeons
for the very hardest 0.1% of content you might see groups look for specific jobs.
that poster doesn't know what he's talking about
a post from what year??
BLM is great
@proud willow did not check the year tbh
One of the highest dps jobs in the game
I am asking because I am interested in maybe choosing black mage
