magic light
#

not gonna update titan hard though

frank ridge
#

For the lols

magic light
#

i wonder why

little swift
#

Not for old fights but it does get better later

flat hemlock
#

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.

acoustic osprey
#

oh

#

but i got commended

#

xd

frank ridge
#

50 or 50-ish?

#

There's a TON of iLv difference between these

little swift
#

There's a huge stat leap between expansions

#

The lv51 vendor gear is a step up

flat hemlock
#

The lowest-level-req pieces available from the Ishgard vendor

little swift
#

Hq vs nq also makes a difference

frank ridge
#

So 51 NQ

#

?

jade mortar
#

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

flat hemlock
#

Left is all il80 except my belt, and right is all il45~49

little swift
#

Youre probably struggling because your accessories aren't quite there yet

frank ridge
#

Yeah

little swift
#

@jade mortar no weird stat items

jade mortar
#

@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

acoustic osprey
#

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

little swift
#

Did you do your job quests

acoustic osprey
#

i read reddit it says trade seals or something

little swift
#

You get am i90 coffer

frank ridge
#

Then along the MSQ you get better gears

hot eagle
#

use poetics for ironworks gear

frank ridge
#

Like up to i110 or somethin

#

Then there's Ironworks

little swift
#

Really there's nothing currently that doesn't use the current stats available

flat hemlock
#

Thanks you two

frank ridge
#

i120 upgradable to i130

little swift
#

Gear here is either cosmetic or stat sticks

acoustic osprey
#

ahh okok

little swift
#

@frank ridge you can't get the 120 stuff anymore its 130 only

frank ridge
#

Oh yes I forgot

little swift
#

But if you had both you can still upgrade them

frank ridge
#

i130 will take you to like Lv55-57 dungeon

little swift
#

55 is where I'd draw the line

#

The defense difference and gear curve is big enough

#

As a tank/healer youd notice

frank ridge
#

Having to heal i120 tank in THAT lv57 dungeon is a nightmare of its own...

little swift
#

Its less apparent in shb though

gritty oracle
#

What's the wilt time of allagan melons?

slate crow
#

That’s a relief. I thought I’d need DoH/L in the late 40s like the combat ones for Ixali quests

frozen karma
#

which raids currently have a weekly lockout and which are farmable?

frank ridge
#

The current tier Savage Raids and Alliance Raid

fresh lodge
#

Puppet Bunker and E5-E8S still have the weekly lockout

frozen karma
#

that's puppet bunker and eden verse savage right? Everything else I can just farm as much as I want?

frank ridge
#

They unlocked Eden Verse Normal with 5.3 did they

fresh lodge
#

Yes

rugged flicker
#

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?

obsidian patio
#

yep.

#

grab the watch from the calamity salvagers and get to fate farming

granite swan
#

I think the next expansiuon should be called ... The Silent Nod

glad comet
#

I think you're in the wrong place?

#

🤔

rugged flicker
#

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?

glad comet
#

yep

#

There's also RNG for those drops

frank ridge
rugged flicker
#

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

obsidian patio
#

Fringes or Peaks

glad comet
#

^

obsidian patio
#

or Azys Lla, not sure about the EXP gain from those fates

glad comet
#

Azys Lla could work

rugged flicker
#

Seems I never did get the 4.0 Yokai watch arms.

frank ridge
#

There never was until this time

#

SAM/RDM/GNB/DNC are all new

rugged flicker
#

Are all of those also farmed in fringes and peaks?

oak ice
#

HW and SB

frank ridge
#

SAM/RDM are in Heavensward areas

#

GNB/DNC in SB

rugged flicker
#

All of them?

obsidian patio
#

yep

#

no specific zones

rugged flicker
#

Not as many people farming this time even though there are new weapons

dreamy pier
#

does you level increase your chance when desynth

fresh lodge
#

Desynth is always 100%

dreamy pier
#

but say if i want the mat

#

like to make the weapon glow

#

does being a lvl 80 BSM

fresh lodge
#

No

dreamy pier
#

increase my chances

#

nope?

fresh lodge
#

Level has nothing to do with desynth

green grail
#

only desynthesis level does

ivory pewter
#

15 min queue for seat of sacrifice is that normal for ffxiv?

fresh lodge
#

^

#

Its the middle of the night

obsidian patio
#

It's the dead of night for NA

#

2-5AM

hot eagle
#

also ppl only do normal once and never again with the exception if they get it in roulette

fresh lodge
#

Also 15 minutes isn't that long

ivory pewter
#

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

dreamy pier
#

what does 10.30

frank ridge
#

Desynth level

fresh lodge
#

Thats your desynth skill

oak ice
#

It should be quick when there are people online

fresh lodge
#

You increase it by desynthing stuff

frank ridge
#

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

dreamy pier
#

i cant break suzaku weapons

#

is it because my bsm is low lvl or beacuse bsm cant break those?

wary forge
#

Some things just can't be desynthed

green grail
#

should say on the tooltip which crafter is required

left moth
#

the crafting job that can repair it is the one that can desynth it

green grail
#

suzaku weapons are old and can be desynthed tho

leaden ginkgo
#

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

glad comet
#

Itll be here for 3 months @leaden ginkgo

oak ice
#

It lasts until 5.4

glad comet
#

Since it wont disappear until 5.4 patch

severe yarrow
#

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?

gritty oracle
#

what's the easiest way to get large quantities of field demi 1?

oak ice
#

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

obsidian patio
#

@gritty oracle desynth brass rings of crafting

#

can buy those from the accessory vendor in the starting city marketplaces

rugged flicker
#

Oh wait... I need to have the Yokai watch equipped to get the medals don't I? ~.~

obsidian patio
#

the normal medals, yes.

#

but not for the legendary medals

oak ice
#

Only the minion medals, then you need the right minion out but not the watch for legendaries

rugged flicker
#

Well, guess I gotta lose a stat boost for this <.<

oak ice
#

Not necessarily* the watch

gritty oracle
#

thanks Wynne!

cedar compass
#

What level do I need to be to be able to do the yokai event?

#

I'm level 10

simple shore
#

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

cedar compass
#

Oh really? I tought it lasted way less time

simple shore
#

Yokai lasts until the next major patch

#

So ~3 months

vocal shell
#

do you still need to equip the yokai watch for legendary tokens

oak ice
#

No, just have the right minion out in the right zone

wary forge
#

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.

glad comet
#

The watch becomes useless once you have all the minions

rugged flicker
#

So how do I get another watch again? <.<

#

Threw mine away long ago

#

Can't see an option to get a new one

vocal shell
#

calamity salvager iirc

rugged flicker
#

Really? I recall there being an option to get one from the NPC

gritty oracle
#

For field demimat 1, any low level crafting or gathering gear works, correct?

leaden ginkgo
#

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.😢

obsidian patio
#

@gritty oracle yeah

gritty oracle
#

@leaden ginkgo Try starting from admin.

vestal needle
#

Are future content like "seventh era" quests?

leaden ginkgo
#

@leaden ginkgo Try starting from admin.
@gritty oracle How ?

#

How Does FATE Contribution work?

gritty oracle
#

Right click shortcut, then "Run as administrator"

#

I think based on enmity

leaden ginkgo
#

@gritty oracle I am running from steam actually

gritty oracle
#

Run steam as admin then maybe?

blazing stirrup
#

Ah, next major patch for the end of Youkai Watch event is about 3 month?

leaden ginkgo
#

@gritty oracle I dont see any admin in steam

#

when I click play in steam, it will run

gritty oracle
#

I mean exit Steam, then run Steam as admin

#

and then launch game

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh

#

I will try

gritty oracle
#

have you tried turning your computer off and on again? and as a last resort, reinstall xiv

frank ridge
#

The problem can be with the internet also

#

You can try resetting your router

leaden ginkgo
#

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

gritty oracle
#

oof

elder pendant
#

hi where can i buy the full game for this?

#

i tried the mog thing and it wont let me

gritty oracle
#

What exactly do you mean by "won't let me"

vestal needle
#

you dont see the discount?

#

cause thats happening to me right now

compact rose
#

What is the required gear level for the latest main story dungeon or trial in Shadowbringers ?

gritty oracle
#

I think the sale ended

frank ridge
#

What is the required gear level for the latest main story dungeon or trial in Shadowbringers ?
@compact rose 465

mossy kite
#

sale ended August 19th

vague relic
#

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 :^)

elder pendant
#

so when is the next sale?

compact rose
#

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?

frank ridge
#

The new dungeon gives you 475 and Phantasmagoria stuff are already 470

#

The crafted set is 480 you can buy those as well

warped nest
#

Don't forget that you can do Eden raids

#

And Nier alliance raid

obsidian patio
#

@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

elder pendant
#

will i still enjoy this even if f2p?

compact rose
#

The deepshadow gear is enough for the main story?

frank ridge
#

Augmented ones are

warped nest
#

For accuracy sake, it has Free Trial

obsidian patio
#

Free Trial is mostly social restrictions

warped nest
#

The whole game is not f2p

#

What Wynne said

obsidian patio
#

you can play all of the base game and the first expansion

stable herald
#

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?

vocal shell
#

It's under Quests

stable herald
#

ah. so i gotta go to gridania?

vocal shell
#

yep

stable herald
#

alrighties. Thanks

compact rose
#

So I will just have to focus on getting the augmented deepshadow gear so I won’t be level gated by the MSQ. Thanks

stable herald
#

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

frank ridge
#

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

weary burrow
#

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

warped nest
#

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

weary burrow
#

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

frank ridge
#

Just spend your Poetics on Ironworks weapon >_>

weary burrow
#

i'm new that tells me nothing, but i'll google

frank ridge
#

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.

weary burrow
#

ahh, cool imma do that then

frank ridge
#

Which are iLv130.

warped nest
#

Allagan Tomestone are the endgame PvE currency

#

And there is a whole river of them, but only 3 are in active use

karmic niche
#

what do i do weith extra yoikai medal/legendary

frank ridge
#

Throw them away

warped nest
#

Poetic tomestone is the universal tomestone for all lvl 50/60/70 endgame related trading

stable herald
#

Throw em

leaden ginkgo
#

No, the sale still going but its not in the mog station

karmic niche
#

oh

leaden ginkgo
#

its in the square enix store

rugged flicker
#

I don't recall the original Yokai having cutscenes when you bought them. namazuthink

#

Do they now, or is this only for the new ones?

stable herald
#

nah. all of em hav a cutscene

rugged flicker
#

Don't think they did when they first did the event.

stable herald
#

weaps too

karmic niche
#

how the hell i get the mount

#

i got all the yokai minions

rugged flicker
#

A loooooooot of farming

weary burrow
#

fastest dungeon to run at lvl 50? I did the story dungeons yday but they are reaallly long when people watch cutscnes xd

frank ridge
#

Gridania achievement guy

leaden ginkgo
rugged flicker
#

Oh there's also the neon version of the mount.

#

That one requires you get all the weapons, I believe.

obsidian patio
#

non-glowy just wants 13 minions

#

glowy whisper wants 13 weapons

finite topaz
#

HMmh...does SE ever releases the lyrics of songs or is it mostly interpretation?

obsidian patio
#

the Jibanyan couch wants all the weapons

frank ridge
#

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

rugged flicker
#

Koji will usually release the lyrics at some point.

frank ridge
#

And a ton of EXP

rugged flicker
#

Usually at Fanfest.

weary burrow
#

wow I see! is the tome cap 450 like wiki says?xd per week

frank ridge
#

That's for Allegory

#

Other tomes don't have a weekly cap

#

There's a hardcap at 2000 for all tomes tho

leaden ginkgo
hot crane
#

Noob question. Does tinc work on dot skill if I use it after I cast dot skill?

weary burrow
#

leaden ginkgo
#

frank ridge
#

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.

obsidian wedge
#

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?

obsidian patio
obsidian wedge
obsidian patio
#

Where are you launching the game from?

obsidian wedge
#

steam?

obsidian patio
#

you don't have a steam license

obsidian wedge
#

Same as always, just doesnt work

obsidian patio
#

You need to rebuy the game for Steam

karmic niche
#

rip

obsidian patio
#

you're on a standard PC license which cannot be played on steam

obsidian wedge
#

Ive only ever played through steam though?

obsidian patio
#

🤷‍♂️

#

Either way, your account should only be able to play on the non-steam launcher for PC.

obsidian wedge
#

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

obsidian patio
#

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.

junior valley
#

how do I unlock the event mount?

simple pine
#

which one?

#

its all on here

obsidian patio
#

If you already got the amount of needed minions/weapons, go to Jonathas in Old Gridania at Apkallu Falls to obtain achievement item rewards

junior valley
#

oooh so Jonathas

#

thanks!

wraith jay
#

does anyone know if the collector's edition of FFXIV include any 2-4 player mounts?

obsidian patio
#

nope

#

only single-person mounts

wraith jay
#

ah okay thanks

sharp spire
#

does sub have regional pricing? what's the lowest possible sub price?

simple pine
#

not through SE/mogstation

#

it can have through steam if you use steam wallet

frank ridge
#

GBP is the cheapest IIRC. But it also depends on your currency

karmic niche
#

or get the game card

weary burrow
#

im doing this quest about odin, does it lead to his dungeon or

#

xD

obsidian patio
#

he has a trial of his own

thorn mantle
#

can i queue up the same duty with my friend?

gritty oracle
#

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

simple pine
#

or someone can make party for you and leave

weary burrow
#

can i join a guild with free trial

#

xd

simple pine
#

no

karmic niche
#

wait so a trial player and a sub player can't party?

thorn mantle
#

ah alright

simple pine
#

they can

karmic niche
#

oh

weary burrow
#

i can put in my code but... EFFICIENCY

simple pine
#

the sub player can invite the trial player

karmic niche
#

just not trial with another trial?

simple pine
#

but not the other way around

karmic niche
#

i see

simple pine
#

a sub player can invite 2 trial players, and leave the party

#

that way the 2 trial players are in a party together

karmic niche
#

oh ok

obsidian wedge
weary burrow
#

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

simple pine
#

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

weary burrow
#

like lets say, 10 - 10 -10 and so on or really 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-

#

2-2-2--2-2

simple pine
#

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

weary burrow
#

i do like crafting ;D

simple pine
#

so leveling at the same time means you only need 1 armor set

weary burrow
#

hmmm cool

low sun
#

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?

gritty oracle
#

Unsync it with your FC or a PF

low sun
#

Oh that works even if the quest says "use duty finder to complete"?

simple pine
#

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

low sun
#

Hmm I've been in queue for like 5 hours and no poppage yet

simple pine
#

you queue one at a time? i just do 5 different ones i need

#

thats 50

low sun
#

theres poetics gear for 50, 60 and 70

simple pine
#

you get 60 armor for poetics in idyllshire after finishing HW

#

actually, you can get it in ishgard now

low sun
#

i just queued for one at a time, good point, i never did anything outside the roulettes, didnt think of that lul, thx

simple pine
#

from the npc with blue shop icon

twilit arch
#

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

simple pine
#

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

stable herald
#

Is there a duty finder for BLUs?

#

Or just party finder?

simple pine
#

just party finder

stable herald
#

Awww

#

And i assume BLU runs require at least a friend or two to do actual damage?

simple pine
#

if you have skills you can do damage

#

better than normal classes at the same level even

stable herald
#

Just 200 potency tho?

leaden ginkgo
#

If the puppet bunkers says rewards received 2/3, is the last part an actual equipment? I didn’t loot any item

twilit arch
#

yes

simple pine
#

some skills do a set amount of damage, or even % health for blu

twilit arch
#

2/3 means you got the cluster+coin from your first run of the week

stable herald
#

Do BLUs benefit from Aug ironworks?

#

I assume there is no BLU ionwork gear

#

Ironwork weap*

weary burrow
#

of melee, only tanks need skillspeed?

simple pine
#

no weapon, there are no real weapons for blu (they all have the same damage stats)

stable herald
#

But should i kit my BLU in ironworks/shire gear?

simple pine
#

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

stable herald
#

Nah. I just wanna level my BLU

twilit arch
#

sam has certain skill speed tiers it wasn't to hit @weary burrow

stable herald
#

Im guessing just fate running should be ok.

#

Can anyone recommend skills for fate train? I've got ram and dragon voice

simple pine
#

open world monsters (not fates) are best exp for blu

twilit arch
#

and monk also has a "sks to comfortable tier"

leaden ginkgo
#

I got to 60 blu in like an hour with some guy killin stuff in azys lla

simple pine
#

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)

stable herald
#

Im tempted to 2birds1stone it and do fate train for yokai as well

#

Cuz my BLU is 50 currently

weary burrow
#

auriana doesnt have weapons to trade?

twilit arch
#

aelina has the weapons

weary burrow
#

ty, i think i saw the same stuff in uldah, with rowena i belive

#

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

obsidian patio
#

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

acoustic osprey
#

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

simple pine
#

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

acoustic osprey
#

oh wow okok

obsidian patio
#

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

simple pine
#

someone doing it casually at level 50? (so no unsyncs really), months can definitely be accurate

obsidian patio
#

What part would take months? You can do the light-grinding undersized with something like Tam-Tara normal or Ifrit normal

tardy patio
#

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

acoustic osprey
#

you can only get teh scepter via crafting right

obsidian patio
#

Yes, or by buying it from the marketboard

simple pine
#

just the books part alone i would say 1 a day is on pace for casual playing

acoustic osprey
#

hmm then imma see how much the scepter cost

#

oh its 100 k and i have 300k

simple pine
#

you will also need a few specific materia put into it

tardy patio
#

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?

acoustic osprey
#

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

simple pine
#

wether its worth is completely subjective since it is just for looks

#

not for stats

acoustic osprey
#

and is this relic weapon worth

obsidian patio
#

Only for looks

acoustic osprey
#

oh

#

fuck that

#

i thought its some end game stuff

simple pine
#

you can glamour it onto your actual endgame weapon, but the weapon you can get from poetics at lvl 50msq is already better

acoustic osprey
#

poetics?

obsidian patio
#

@tardy patio yes you’ll need a pot to plant them in

acoustic osprey
#

still haven't got there yet

simple pine
#

those red/black credit card looking thiniges, in ctrl+c

acoustic osprey
#

just clearing up a bunch of blue marker quest

obsidian patio
#

Tomestones of Poetics are earned from level 50/60/70 content

simple pine
#

i think you would have some if you are doing the lvl 50 blue marker quests

obsidian patio
#

You already earned some from Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium

gritty oracle
#

will I get atmas as a normal item or key item?

obsidian patio
#

Normal item

simple pine
#

normal item

acoustic osprey
#

ah that yes those, haven't checked where i spent those poetics at yet

simple pine
#

at mor dhona, or any major city (blue vendor icon)

obsidian patio
#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
acoustic osprey
#

not worth spending on armor for poetics at lvl 50 right

#

since end game is like 70 onwards with ShB

simple pine
#

you will cap on poetics

#

you can only carry 2000

honest ocean
#

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?

acoustic osprey
#

hmm then i will spend when im gonna cap

simple pine
#

so just spent poetics on leveling gear

obsidian patio
#

You’ll earn plenty of poetics before hitting 70

open coral
#

It's worth it to buy the 50/60/70 poetics gear for leveling.

obsidian patio
#

And you can easily earn more through daily roulettes

#

The Main Scenario roulette gives 500/600 a day for little effort

simple pine
#

little effort, but 30-45 minutes of your time :p

obsidian patio
#

(It’s a roulette with only Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium in it)

open coral
#

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

simple pine
#

in my eyes a "normal" player plays maybe 2 hours a day

open coral
simple pine
#

or maybe casual is the better term, not saying people who play more/less are not normal 😄

open coral
#

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.

simple pine
#

i geuss msq roulette is also quite rewarding for your time if you need the exp

open coral
#

Yeah, msq roulette is a really good investment. Good xp + 1/4 poetics cap in rewards.

velvet fossil
#

For those who play NIN, is it okay to take Throwing Dagger off the hotbar?

acoustic osprey
#

so for poetics lvl 50, im guessing the no brainer better weapons

#

are the oenws with higher item level

open coral
#

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

simple pine
#

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

simple shore
#

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

simple pine
#

since the range it becomes available is pretty much aggro range

open coral
#

Yeah @acoustic osprey You'll want the Augmented Ironworks weapon for your class.

simple shore
#

where you get forced out of melee range

open coral
#

And all of the Augmented Ironworks gear too.

acoustic osprey
#

is there any point keeping green rarity weapons though, like maybe dismantling them for mats

open coral
#

For dismantling if you want the mats, or you can trade them to your GC for seals

simple shore
#

Green anything either gets dumped at the GC for seals or desynthed

open coral
#

Unless you want to keep it for glamour

acoustic osprey
#

okok so not in the trash bin

open coral
#

No. Almost nothing gets trashed or vendored on priority.

#

Unless it can't be desynthed or traded for seals

gray sage
#

what GC rank do you need to be to dump items for seals?

simple shore
#

Basically the only things that get vendored are things specifically designed to be vendored.

open coral
#

Second Lieutenant @gray sage

simple shore
#

Such as Clear Demimateria III's

#

Literally a vendor item

#

I think that's wrong Aura

#

Sergeant Third Class should be Expert Delivery

leaden ginkgo
#

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

open coral
#

Are you using the same hotbar format on both systems?

#

PS4 defaults to WXHB

#

PC defaults to standard hotbars

simple shore
#

Hotbars, including their content, are stored locally

twilit arch
#

you're both wrong

#

its segerant second class

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah I'm using two different hot bars

#

Thingies

simple shore
#

In that case someone needs to update GamerEscape

open coral
#

Balmerick got the sergeant, I got the "second" lol

twilit arch
#

gamerescape isn't wrong on their grand company rank page

simple shore
#

Yes they are

fresh lodge
#

No they're not

simple shore
#

Oh god

#

nvm

#

the formatting

#

who puts the title of a section on the bottom of the section

open coral
#

@leaden ginkgo Between that and the fact that the settings are locally stored, you'll need to set your bars on PS4 manually.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah okay makes sense thanks

gray sage
#

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.

tulip nova
#

Hello, I am new here and having trouble installing Final Fantasy Online. I keep getting an error code

twilit arch
#

you can back up your settings

#

and download them

#

what's the error code?

tulip nova
twilit arch
#

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

vague relic
#

or flushing your DNS cache

tulip nova
#

How does one do this?

onyx kiln
#

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.

simple shore
#

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.

onyx kiln
#

are those types of FATES not visable on the map untill you yourself is close enough?

twilit arch
#

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

simple shore
#

Most world boss FATE's also have some other indicator

#

Typically weather

twilit arch
#

so can look up old threads on most of them to know where they're spawned

open coral
#

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.

twilit arch
#

that too ^

pallid junco
#

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.

simple shore
#

Nitpick - it's Heavensward, and abbreviated as HW.

twilit arch
#

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

pallid junco
#

My bad.

twilit arch
#

as people don't queue for the inbetween floors

simple shore
#

However, POTD is not ideal for Dark Knight

twilit arch
#

that said, as a dark knight its not really recommended to do potd

#

since you have quick dungeon queues

pallid junco
#

Oh

open coral
#

Just spam your highest level dungeon.

#

Specific queue

twilit arch
#

do daily leveling/alliance/msq roulette and then queue for highest level dungeon

#

barring 50, do aurum vale or palace of the dead instead

pallid junco
#

Thanks

tulip nova
#

Well the flushing DNS didn't work

brave ravine
#

flushing DNS usually requires a reboot after

tulip nova
simple shore
#

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

wispy parcel
#

Deep Dungeon is only useful for leveling DPS

#

Cause of longer queues

tame mirage
#

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?

twilit arch
#

not really

faint flare
#

No betting buts there's a dueling area

twilit arch
#

yeah you can duel in the wolves' den

#

but that's kind of it

faint flare
#

Well you can bet verbally but whether or not people honor it is ChenShrug

tame mirage

:[

plain python
#

can I new game+ starter city or when I select one of three Grand Compaines?

median locust
#

not yet

faint flare
#

Not yet

#

In 5.35 you can

median locust
#

ARR is not in New Game + as of right now, but will be added in 5.35

tame mirage
#

man pvp betting would be nice but this game doesn't want to implement anything that resembles competitive

#

:[

median locust
#

but there's ranked PvP with rewards for top 100...?

faint flare
#

Well there's the feast

#

With actual tournaments they do at fanfests

median locust
#

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

simple shore
#

only a true psychopath persues those titles though

tame mirage
#

so, only the top 100 get something while if you aren't a complete sweatlord you can't get anything? :v

median locust
#

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

faint flare
#

I think you still get some Wolf collars

warped nest
#

The top 100 get unique reward like mounts, armors (for glamour) etc

twilit arch
#

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

warped nest
#

Those will not repeat and will never be available again

#

(well... Kinda sorta won't repeat...)

wispy parcel
#

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

simple shore
#

In total fairness, you're on Crystal. Crystal is somewhat known for being the place to go if you want to top 100

wispy parcel
#

True

fresh lodge
#

You get Wolf collars depending on your ranking each season which can be used to buy excusive weapons

twilit arch
#

even on primal/aether

#

its not "sweaty tryhard" to get top 100

leaden ginkgo
#

Hi, I’m New and could use some advice

simple shore
#

Yeah im not saying its a significant difference

#

Its just a known one

fresh lodge
#

Advice about...?

simple shore
#

not as bad as the Crystal vs. Aether/Primal raid split

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

warped nest
#

Being overlevel doesn't make your story easier

wispy parcel
#

You can continue the MSQ as you wish

wintry chasm
#

You'll get synced down for the solo instances in main story and dungeons I wouldn't bother

warped nest
#

Don't worry about it

fresh lodge
#

Being overlevelled won't impact your enjoyment of the story

wispy parcel
#

MSQ isnt hard in the first place

tame mirage
#

you can get another class and get level 24 doing levemetes

wintry chasm
#

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

simple shore
#

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

wintry chasm
#

assuming you aren't on the free trial anyway

warped nest
#

It is only wasteful if you are capped with your level

normal tusk
#

how long does one get to keep road to 70?

leaden ginkgo
#

What optional content is still fun/smart to do?

simple shore
#

@normal tusk 90 days from date of character creation, or when the server stops being preferred - which ever happens second

leaden ginkgo
#

I found levemetes boring but I like the hunting log

warped nest
#

Road to 70 will be lost to you when the World is not preferred and your character is older than 90 days

normal tusk
#

k

#

Good to know

#

That will make levelling my ALT easier

leaden ginkgo
#

Also not sure in what order to do stuff

warped nest
#

@leaden ginkgo story quest and job quest are the two most important thing you need to keep up with

normal tusk

@foggy surge what level are you

leaden ginkgo
#

Job quest, so the conjurer’s guild in my case?

wintry chasm
#

For now until you unlock White Mage

You should have unlocked White Mage already

oh right, fair

wintry chasm

the medals for minions are 100% (if you get silver/gold rating), the legendary medals are not 100%

When do the class quests end?

The last class quest I did was the lvl 25 one

twilit arch

class quests stop at 30, which you can then pick up your job quest

#

and job quests are from 30-80

simple shore
#

@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.

They normally cant interrupt you with auto attacks. Their interrupt usually has an AoE marker

strange coral
#

Sleep one. Surecast to cast with out interruption. Swiftcast for an instant cast.

wispy parcel

Yea sleep helps a lot

simple shore
#

The obvious first question is "what gear are you using vs. what level is the quest"

sick osprey

blm has a sleep ?

simple shore

Usually having difficulty with quest objectives is a product of letting your gear get really far behind

sick osprey

and im using the gear MSQ provided me

strange coral

Yes, it's a level 10 spell

simple shore
#

That's not an answer though

hazy flint

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

simple shore

Make sure you're using the right rotation

twilit arch
#

@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

simple shore

BLM rotation is decidedly VERY non-intuitive in the 60-70 range

hazy flint
#

ok I got hat and boots...just wondered if they tied chest in to be more on the last boss @twilit arch cheers 😄

wispy parcel

@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

the i50 gear can be augmented to be dyeable

you need crafted items called "<set name> augmentation"

Yes

Lv15 is all thats required for it

#

Quest is in vesper bey

plain python
#

@simple pine what watch?

thorn mantle
#

ok thanks

twilit arch
#

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

#

might get the SEA players who have gone thru this process to chime in

simple pine
#

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

plain python
#

lol lol lol

#

I completely forget about it

#

oh well I have 6 komasen coin already. one more for the staff

simple pine
#

you need 5 for first item

#

10 for following

#

they changed the amounts

plain python
#

what class has the big advantage in Fate grinding? my healer cast so slow

simple pine
#

BLU

twilit arch
#

if you don't have blu, you can also do one of the physical ranged jobs

faint flare
#

Probably dancer for point blank aoes

#

So dont need to target

#

Just sit in spawns and aoe

acoustic osprey
#

is it me or ARR story is pretty cliche

#

does the story gets way better after ARR

faint flare
#

Yes

twilit arch
#

its nothing out of the norm, yea

#

and yes the expansion stories pick up

acoustic osprey
#

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

rugged nimbus

Unity conquers all. Even cringe

acoustic osprey

#

ARR is pretty dull

leaden ginkgo
#

Can you please remind me how you get the Dyable lv 50 SMN horn?

wispy parcel
#

Everyone agrees on that but it is needed as a basis for future events

acoustic osprey
#

i don't even wanna comment on how underwhelming the tribuni is

leaden ginkgo
#

I liked Stormblood more than Heavensward, i don't know how unpopular is that

acoustic osprey
#

or gaius

leaden ginkgo
#

But Dragonsong was great for me

wanton fossil
#

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??

twilit arch
#

you need the Evoker's Attire Augmentation item and then talk to kakalan to augment the evoker's gear

faint flare
#

Dungeons

leaden ginkgo
#

dung spaming

wintry chasm
#

and roulettes

wispy parcel
#

Tanks get fast queues so yea spam dungeons

twilit arch
#

the augmentation is lvl 50 alchemist craft, can also buy from the marketboard

wispy parcel
#

And tribe quests

wanton fossil
#

Ok thanks guys! ❤️

leaden ginkgo
#

oh can i get it from market?

#

thanks

#

will check on hat

plain python
#

does AoE heal affect non-party player? Someone said use it in Fate

proud willow
#

it does not

wispy parcel
#

No it doesnt effect players not in Ur party

twilit arch
#

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

uneven crown
#

whats the difference between say and shout 🤔

faint flare
#

Say is close

twilit arch
#

say is the general area around you

#

shout is zone wide

faint flare
#

Shout is zone wide

uneven crown
#

ah okay

leaden ginkgo
#

@twilit arch where is kakalan mate

uneven crown
#

was sligtly confused by that since i am a free trial user (for now)

faint flare
#

Yell is slightly larger say

twilit arch
#

Mor Dhona (22, 6)

leaden ginkgo
#

ty

plain python
#

cannot shout as free-trial :shy:

uneven crown
#

yell is unavailible for free trial users right?

faint flare
#

Yep

uneven crown
#

understadable realy
makes the yokai event harder lmao

plain python
#

spam macro for normal chat I guess

#

if I visit other server, can I move back to Tonberry?

simple pine
#

yes the same way you visit another world

faint flare
#

Yes

plain python
#

can I get locked out of the server in case it is full like when creating characters?

faint flare
#

No

simple pine
#

no. i dont know if you might have to queue, but definitely not locked out

rugged nimbus
#

No. The same way you aren't locked out from logging in as long as your character already exists on a server

plain python
#

I see

frank wigeon
#

hello, is there a purpose of doing daily the hunt other than the rewards for each kill?

jolly sorrel
#

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

wispy parcel
#

@frank wigeon no real reason other than the rewards they offer

#

They dont give XP or anything

warped nest
#

@jolly sorrel between lvl 52-62, just save enough for Kaiten Higanbana

ivory pewter
#

hey just beat 5.3 where do i start my relic weapons at?

jolly sorrel
#

Just reached level 63, and that's indeed where my confusion started.

warped nest
#

!action Hissatsu Kaiten

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Hissatsu: Kaiten** : lvl 52 SAM (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases potency of next weaponskill by 50%.
Duration: 10s
Kenki Gauge Cost: 20

wispy parcel
#

@ivory pewter talk to Keiten in Kugane

warped nest
#

At lvl 62+

ivory pewter
#

ok will do ty

warped nest
#

You should always have enough Kenki to kaiten

wispy parcel
#

Though you need to have beaten the Ivalice alliance raids first

warped nest
#

All your iaijutsu skills

ivory pewter
#

i need to do raids to unlock my relic weapons for shadowbringers?

scarlet arrow
#

yes

wispy parcel
#

The Ivalice raids from Stormblood

ivory pewter
#

that sucks

cobalt pagoda
#

so the Moonfire event, there is this doctr viera! were do I get her coat??

scarlet arrow
#

they shouldn't be too hard to do at this point

jolly sorrel
#

So I should always keep 40 kenki in reserve?

wispy parcel
#

The resistance weapons are directly related to Ivalice

ivory pewter
#

so where do i go to start the raid quests?

grizzled gyro
#

Question

wispy parcel
#

Keiten in Kugane

grizzled gyro
#

If I glamorize an item from lvl 60 will I be able to wear it as lvl 23?

wispy parcel
#

No

grizzled gyro
#

Interesting

wispy parcel
#

Glam has to be on or below your level to wear

median locust
#

and on or below the level of the gear you're glamming it to

cobalt pagoda
#

So the moonfire Faire, there is this NPC Thracie, can I get her white coat??

wintry chasm
cobalt pagoda
#

Thanks :3

crimson notch
#

may i ask, what is the use of gil in this game?

patent citrus
#

buy glamour

cobalt pagoda
#

T^T I should had knew that coat is for crafters

jolly sorrel
#

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?

proven bay
#

@crimson notch There isn't much beyond glam and buying mounts

scarlet arrow
#

speaking of the moonfire faire is it currently possible to get the ranger theme orchestrion roll?

proven bay
#

Once you become an omni-crafter/gatherer you have no need for money anymore

jolly sorrel
#

Housing, glamours, crafting.

proven bay
#

Outside of glam and vanity things

scarlet arrow
#

even without crafting there isn't really a whole lot to spend gil on

jolly sorrel
#

Crafting is a big sink and source of gil

proven bay
#

I disagree

#

If you're not an omni gatherer it is

#

If you are, then it's a no cost business

crimson notch
#

i see... thanks then.

jolly sorrel
#

Well yes. If you spend time farming your own glamours its also a no-cost business

#

but thats entirely missing the point

deft quiver
#

what time is daily reset at?

#

for roulettes and such

proven bay
#

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

leaden ginkgo
simple pine
#

do !reset in #kupo-bot-spam @deft quiver

jolly sorrel
#

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.

patent citrus
#

need to have all weapons i think 🤔

proven bay
#

But again, at some point you won't have to spend gil on crafting anymore. And then it's really only glam and mounts

deft quiver
#

thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

in the website says 13 minions u get access to the non glowy mount and then 13 weapons the glowy version of the mount

jolly sorrel
#

And I guess gear as well, every expansion has a crafted variant of endgame gear

deft quiver
#

@leaden ginkgo Gridania. Gotta talk to the achievement guy i believe

patent citrus
#

oh sorry i misread

leaden ginkgo
#

@deft quiver oke, thanks

#

@patent citrus dw

exotic ridge
#

how do i add materia to a weapon?

leaden ginkgo
#

@deft quiver i went to the achievement guy and i got nothing from it ;W,

simple pine
#

meld master near market board in most big cities

#

or meld skill if you have it unlocked

leaden ginkgo
#

or u can request meld

deft quiver
#

No clue then, sorry.

raven sage
#

@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

leaden ginkgo
#

yes i di

#

*did

faint flare
#

Did you actually use the minions

leaden ginkgo
#

ye i summoned all the minions

fresh lodge
#

Check the book in the collections tab

faint flare
#

Jonahas > the second menu > quests

fresh lodge
#

Every box should be filled in

proven bay
#

@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

leaden ginkgo
#

imma log in and log off

stiff osprey
#

as sam, is it better to use hakaze combos or fuga combos against 2 enemies?

faint flare
#

Fuga

honest anvil
#

are there only ironwork “armors” for the left hand slots?

faint flare
#

You get sens faster

sly vessel
#

Need gold on fate to get yokai medal right?

exotic ridge
#

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.

faint flare
#

Or silver

#

He asks you to meld specific materia

proven bay
#

^

sly vessel
#

Gives same amount?

faint flare
#

Yes

exotic ridge
#

aah ok thx

dusky nest
#

are there only ironwork “armors” for the left hand slots?
@honest anvil right side also exists but is in a different menu

proven bay
#

I think it's heaven's eye III materia? But don't quote me on it

exotic ridge
#

battledance 3 can I buy them?

honest anvil
#

Are those still in the same shop?

dusky nest
#

Should be the same NPC yes

proven bay
#

Oh, it's battledance III. You can buy them on the marketboard @exotic ridge

exotic ridge
#

okies thx

proven bay
#

Shouldn't be too expensive iirc

exotic ridge
#

lol none listed

crimson crystal
#

you can buy them on mb or there are some side quests that give materia

exotic ridge
#

ill find them nw

proven bay
#

Wait they're not listed? brug

#

There might be an aeolian scimitar that already has melded materia. I know there were a few when I bought mine for the Curtana

exotic ridge
#

Is there a way to remove materia? to get rid of the duff ones

proven bay
#

Yes. You can remove it with a crafter

faint flare
#

Right click

#

And retrieve

#

Dont need crafters

proven bay
exotic ridge
#

oh yes sorry i forgot

proven bay
#

TIL

#

I always thought you had to use a crafter

remote lintel
#

you need a crafter to put materia in

proven bay
#

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?

compact light
#

how do i make it so the 6th hotbar emptys when i switch to arcanaist and doesnt keep my bard stuff

proven bay
#

Uncheck the shared hotbar option in system settings

deft quiver
#

Whats the drop rate on Gwibers?

gritty oracle
#

pretty low

deft quiver
#

Is it worth trying, or should i just wait until next big expansion

limpid lantern
#

Is there something like a lightsaber for glamour ?

deft quiver
#

im in no rush to get them

gritty oracle
#

I'd say go for it if you can do them!

remote lintel
#

there are swords that glow

#

that's the closest you'll get to a light saber

compact light
#

@proven bay where is it?

proven bay
#

I think it's in the system settings tab. In the hotbar section

remote lintel
#

character config > hotbar

proven bay
#

Well there you go

remote lintel
#

iirc

wet cradle
#

is there any pvp mode that is actively played? I'm queueing more than 1 hour now

scarlet arrow
#

@limpid lantern the weapons from Palace of the Dead and Heaven on High glow

remote lintel
#

Frontline and rival wings

leaden ginkgo
#

Is every build/class viable for end game dungeons (and every dungeon in general)?

scarlet arrow
#

yes

remote lintel
#

dungeons are casual content

leaden ginkgo
#

I am asking because I read that there are classes/builds that normally do not get chosen (for a team) for the hardest dungeons

remote lintel
#

no

#

it doesn't matter because dungeons are easy

leaden ginkgo
#

I see, thanks

proven bay

!faq meta

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

pallid cipher
#

Red Mage is the best class

#

Here's my own meta

leaden ginkgo
#

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

scarlet arrow
#

for the very hardest 0.1% of content you might see groups look for specific jobs.

remote lintel
#

that poster doesn't know what he's talking about

proud willow
#

a post from what year??

proven bay
#

BLM is great

leaden ginkgo
#

@proud willow did not check the year tbh

proven bay
#

One of the highest dps jobs in the game

leaden ginkgo
#

I am asking because I am interested in maybe choosing black mage
