[bleak lotus]

oh rip

[north junco]

I have 1200

[halcyon glen]

Spoilers it doesn’t

[north junco]

I'm only level 11

[bleak lotus]

figured

[halcyon glen]

Then yeah you ain’t getting Gil capped anytime soon

[bleak lotus]

well I enjoy the game enough to buy it anyways I was just cursing myself for missing the sale the other day

[faint flare]

Trial only allows lv60

[north junco]

The point is does the free trial block me from getting those items to sell?

[halcyon glen]

Nope!

[north junco]

I didn't get them, nothing in my inventory but the belt from it

[halcyon glen]

Those are designed to be sold to vendors

Which you can always do

[twilit arch]

if you're talking about the allagan pieces, its an option

You don't get all 3 choices

[north junco]

Ohhhhh

[twilit arch]

you select one and you get that item

[north junco]

I knew the armor was a choice

Not the allagan thing too

Now I know

[faint flare]

Its usually gear or the pieces for money

For choices

[halcyon glen]

Usually with quests if none of the armor is useful for ya you take the money

[north junco]

Makes sense

I'm used to WoW that gave you money and then the gear choice lol

[halcyon glen]

You do get some money regardless

[twilit arch]

You do get gil from the quests

[halcyon glen]

The allagan pieces are a bonus

[gusty hare]

where can I find linkshells to join?

[twilit arch]

the allagan pieces are "i dont have need the armour so let me take the last option"

[north junco]

Okay, cool, thanks guys!

[halcyon glen]

@gusty hare what kind of linkshell ya looking for?

[gusty hare]

just casual chatting

[halcyon glen]

Hmmm... that’s not really how most people use linkshells afaik - usually they’re for irl friends or raid static’s or the like. Most of the social structure tends to be free company based

[gusty hare]

ohh i see

[simple shore]

The only really "commonplace" LS usage is Hunt coordination

other than what ddrox mention

[ionic hazel]

how do you make a list to see how much the costs are to craft a set of items on garland tools

[simple shore]

Start by clicking this :

Then in the new group, click on the pink atomos so that its larger and pulsing

[karmic niche]

what do i do with faded copy?

[simple shore]

Then, on the left, enter in the names of the items you want, and click on each one and it will be automatically added to the group

Once you're done, go to the crafting tab of that group

and that should be everything you need

[ionic hazel]

i actually cant find that

wtf

[simple shore]

cant find what?

[ionic hazel]

nvm it was under tools

[simple shore]

Ah, yeah

[hazy shadow]

if you upgrade to the "collector's edition" version, the rewards are automatically available in game, yes?

[proud willow]

Collectors' edition rewards will be mailed to each of your existing characters, and any new characters you create will have the items waiting for them too

[twilit arch]

it can take a bit to receive the mail

[hazy shadow]

Ah, ok, thank you. I logged out thinking there would be a download.

[brave ravine]

what is "tyfp"? thank you what?

[vocal shell]

party

[proud willow]

for party

[brave ravine]

ahh

[tribal mural]

does the story skip for stormblood jsut skip stormblood

or does it skip heavensward and realm reborn with it

[twilit arch]

it skips from a realm reborn up to stormblood

since the main scenario quest is linear

[tribal mural]

so i wouldnt need to get the others

[twilit arch]

with ng+ you could go back and replay thru them, though ARR is currently not available with ng+

its being added to it in 5.35

[tribal mural]

whats ng+

[twilit arch]

new game plus

[tribal mural]

o

alright so i get stormblood skip and skip from realm reborn to sb

[crimson wind]

Dont buy story skips

[tribal mural]

its for an alt

[crimson wind]

Just don't.

[tribal mural]

[crimson wind]

Oh the go for it

[high sapphire]

Is there a fresh 80 guide!

[elder sinew]

Is there a public linkshell that ppl can join for banter/askquestions?

[proud willow]

There is not... all linkshells are invite-only

I think you might be able to join Fellowships without an invite though?

They're such a weird thing, it feels like nobody asked for them and no one uses them or knows how they work

or at least I don't

[delicate solstice]

is it possible to transfer a char from my steam service account to a main site service account?

[twilit arch]

no

[delicate solstice]

damn that sucks

ty though (:

[acoustic osprey]

anyway to skip the scenes in praetium for duty roulette main scenario

[warped nest]

@acoustic osprey no

[acoustic osprey]

[warped nest]

Praetorium and Castrum are the two unique dungeons with a boat load of cutscenes

The decision is made that the cutscene can't be skipped

[acoustic osprey]

i got that as a roulette while my poo is at the doors

much more intense than the dungeon itself

[spare plinth]

what's machinist like?

pew pew?

[proper junco]

what is the fastest fate that appears in stormblood and hw?

asking in the light of yokai eventt

[obtuse glacier]

How do I evolve myself to a summoner? My character is level 30. Do I have to complete job quests to level 30 or what

[twilit arch]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[obtuse glacier]

Oof. Okay. I’m behind. Ty

[deep herald]

anyone know any scholars i wanna meet them

someone in heavensward

[magic light]

sos ex incident again, last phase segment, after wol casted lb 3, meteors, I did lb, but wol hallowed ground

isn't it fine to lb since wol just used lb?

[polar hound]

i've heard its safe to LB while he's casting something already

[faint flare]

^

[polar hound]

otherwise you're toying with RNG moreso

[faint flare]

||He'll Hallowed if he's not casting anything||

[small atlas]

where do you get the scaevan gear before it is augmented? or is there jsut augmented

[faint flare]

Only augmented now

[small atlas]

ok. im lvling up a new class and got confused when looking and the shire and the scaevan gear

thught there was somethign inbetween

[polar hound]

made obsolete as of 5.3, streamlined the gearing process

[twilit arch]

inbetween gear is dungeon/hq crafted

[small atlas]

i c now, when i went through the game the first time it was before 5.3, my brain couldnt handle it

[polar hound]

^^ 5.3 made a buncha stuff a bit easier/QoL adjusts

[honest anvil]

Does the hildibrand questline unlock anything else after gilgamesh?

[faint flare]

Yes

The stormblood hildibrand line unlocks another trial

[honest anvil]

ah i meant Arr

[faint flare]

Which means you need to do the arr and hw hildibrand stuff

Its one continuous quest line

So techincally yes still

[honest anvil]

oh sure, but is gilgamesh the last trial in arr for that quest line?

[faint flare]

Arr hildibrand itself does the 2 trials vs gilgamesh and the fight vs Typhoon and ultros

If they have duty finder penalty, no

[neon aspen]

when you get targeted with an aoe

and the circle is like blinking around you

do you need to spread out enough so your circle doesnt touch a teammate, or so that your circles dont overlap?

[faint flare]

Doesn't touch a team mate

Circles can overlap

Unless mechanics say no

Which only happens a rare few times in higher end content. And like once in 24mans

[neon aspen]

thanks

[lavish vortex]

Hi! Is there any trick to farm for monsters mats? Some way of getting more drops or any form of trick? I’m farming for dhalmel hide specifically

[trail prairie]

when you're collecting the legendary medals do you need to equip the watch or is the minion all you need

[faint flare]

Just minion

[trail prairie]

awesome ty

[faint flare]

And there's no trick for farming monster drops

Other than sending retainers out

[proud willow]

It's up to you, but it's generally not going to be worth your time to farm for materials

[faint flare]

To help get you some every hour

[leaden current]

is there a yokai weapon for DNC?

[faint flare]

Yes

[lavish vortex]

@faint flare thanks!

[proud willow]

Right, I would say send your retainers out to get them, or else just buy them off of the marketboard

[faint flare]

There's one for all jobs

Except blue

[leaden current]

what is the name?

ears of rabbit?

[faint flare]

Glaives of the dark princess

[leaden current]

ah I see

thanks

rip no stormblood yet

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to sort materia on the MB like before 5.3?

it seems they messed the default sorting criteria

[elder sinew]

How does housing prices work? Wiki says "Plot prices will devalue once every 6 hours (Earth time), with the original price falling to half after a period of 30 days. "

Does that mean you have to pay every day or just the one time and keep it forever?

[faint flare]

Its a one time pay

[split viper]

Is it normal to be overleveled for ARR? I am level 25 and have done minimal side quests and mostly just MSQ and Guild Quests

[faint flare]

Devaluation is for when you go to buy the plot itself

The longer a plot remains open, the cheaper it is to buy

[elder sinew]

So you buy the land once with 3mil, then keep it forever on your account?

[faint flare]

Not forever

You have to enter the house once every 45 days otherwise it will be automatically demolished

[elder sinew]

Ah k

[faint flare]

However auto demolish is currently paused

Due to corona

[leaden ginkgo]

can anyone send me a good parser and shader?

[faint flare]

Which is why housing is hard at this point

The only parser we have is ACT (advance combat tracker)

[deft yarrow]

can you get a phial of fantasia from in game quests?

[warped nest]

Yes

Just one

[faint flare]

You get 1

After completing ultimate weapon

[warped nest]

Completing the lvl 50 the Ultimate weapon

[faint flare]

Which is base arr

[warped nest]

The fantasia is in the quest reward

[deft yarrow]

hmm ok, I must have one on my account then

thanks ❤️

[faint flare]

/isearch if you're missing it

[leaden ginkgo]

guys

how do you setup your shader?

[granite swan]

How come ||Mide|| gets to have blue bone/tail and im stuck with white or black?

also wtf insta dps que o.O

[deft yarrow]

is it possible/advised to do msq on high queue time job and do the dungeons/dailies on tank/healer?

[hardy abyss]

what happened to collectable synthesis since patch?

[faint flare]

Collectible synthesis is gone and collectibles are their own receipes

And they no longer rotate out

[hardy abyss]

ohhh

neat ty

[faint flare]

Basically no more forgetting to put collectible synthesis on and wasting mats

[hot crane]

hello is anyone on aether? wanna know how many sos ex pts are on aether pf right now. much thanks!

[twilit hazel]

what is the most populated eu english speaking server?

[worthy crane]

Are there any decent guides that cover the basics of using summoner for a beginner who never used the class before?

[faint flare]

https://www.akhmorning.com/jobs/smn/guide/starting-off/

Something decent

[civic glade]

where can i exchange my lv 70 warrior antiquated boots for a dyeable one?

[elder sinew]

What's the limit to a Linkshell? not on wiki

[fast obsidian]

are there multiple classes that deal increased damage to bosses backs?

[faint flare]

Yes

All melee dps

Every melee dps has positionals

At least 1 flank and at least 1 rear

[zinc orbit]

How to get Dyeable Artifact Gear

A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.

Heavensward i200 set: Bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Ardolain in the 'Exchange Centurio Seals (Advanced)' option.

Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.

Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.

[fast obsidian]

thank you!

[little swift]

@civic glade

The third paragraph is related to your question

[civic glade]

@little swift thanks. Dang, eureka

[fiery turtle]

Hello. What would be a good server to start in as a complete newbie?

[faint flare]

Any preferred server

Otherwise server choice doesn't matter

[elder sinew]

https://ffxivcensus.com/#rat-na
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/

I checked those 2 before I started

[magic light]

sos ex, so, this counted as "not casting anything" ?

[faint flare]

He needs to have a cast bar

A physical cast bar

[magic light]

so, i should've touched lb during the tank buster

[faint flare]

Yes

[magic light]

oh, just in case i do something dumb

the lb bar also needs to be empty, right?

[faint dawn]

I got a query that I posted in the reddit but thought it be frugal to post here as well. Would it be better to post the post link here or the text?

[warped nest]

Just ask the question here

In text

[pine phoenix]

Just got to HW, what's a good way to start learning astrologian?

Cards are confusing and solo target practice doesn't seem useful

[daring turret]

||So the only way to get accessories ilvl 430 is by doing lvl 80 dungeons? Cant start post shb dungeons because i need to be ilvl430, and just my gear is that lvl 😂, my accessories are around 400||

[grizzled mural]

Hey if I want to marry some with platinum do they also have to buy it?

[magic light]

is there a way to check what are collectables?

an easier way

besides going to turn ins

[hazy shadow]

@pine phoenix there is a discord that I personally use to ask questions in, and also has some AST specific guides.

[twilit arch]

did you get your artifact gear from grenodlt? @daring turret

[hazy shadow]

The easiest way to tell what card goes where is that they're color coded

[pine phoenix]

Also looks like there isn't the 3 card thing I read about yet at L30?

[little swift]

Nope that's unlocked at 50 @pine phoenix

[hazy shadow]

You mean horoscope?

[pine phoenix]

Like when I look at guides there's a stack but I don't think I see one

OK that makes sense, so it's a lot simpler until then

[hazy shadow]

Yes

[west root]

I accidentally threw away a main scenario item

[little swift]

Like a piece of glamour?

Or a crafted item?

[hazy shadow]

Just put aspected benefic on tank (it's an instant cast with regen if on diurnal)

And you're golden for the most part.

[pine phoenix]

I figured what's melee/range because balance/spear/arrow are words and bole/ewer/spire are not words

[little swift]

But they're all words

[vague narwhal]

is it worth skipping post ARR msq

[grizzled mural]

Does my friend also have to buy the marriage thing or just me?

[daring turret]

@twilit arch im sure i did, thats the guy that gives for every job right?

[west root]

I threw away 'The Voice of Just'@little swift

[little swift]

You both have to use the same package

[twilit arch]

ya

[grizzled mural]

Yeah but do they have to buy it if I buy it?

[fading zealot]

Hi will achievement progress in firmament skyward points like for titles and stuff be reset when phase 3 comes out? Or is it cumulative?

[little swift]

@west root you can get it back from the calamity salvager iirc

[west root]

@little swift Where can I access that?

[hazy shadow]

@pine phoenix this has class specific guides and channels if you want to look around. https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv

[west root]

I'm sorry I'm new to the game

[leaden ginkgo]

can i reset the skillset of my chocobo?

[little swift]

It depends on which city you're in @west root

[pine phoenix]

@hazy shadow will I have to remap once I get aspected benefic or is it the same button as Benedict?

[west root]

@little swift I'm in 'The Quicksand' right now

So that is in

[hazy shadow]

You will have to map it to a key binding that's comfortable for you.

[little swift]

Yes you can @leaden ginkgo it requires a pepper you feed to your chocobo

[hazy shadow]

I put mine on "9" because I use an mmo mouse and my thumb can reach it easily

[west root]

Ul'dah - Steps of Nald

[little swift]

Its near the goldsmiths guild aetheryte ronin

[leaden ginkgo]

what specific pepper

[pine phoenix]

I'm on controller which is a lil wack sometimes

[west root]

Thank you@little swift

[twilit arch]

Reagen pepper is the name of it

[hazy shadow]

Ah, yeah.

[twilit arch]

its 40 allied seals or 40k grand company eals

[hazy shadow]

I use mouse and keyboard.

[pine phoenix]

Also my first MMO so hotbar/UI stuff gives me a headache but I'm starting to figure it out

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohhh, that's why I can't see it in the MB

Thank you!

[grizzled mural]

Does my friend have to buy the marriage package also or just me

[hazy shadow]

The #protips-and-ui channel might have tips

Or ideas for ui set up.

[twilit arch]

both of you, otherwise it will use the lower tier

so if you want gold marriage, you both need gold braclets

[pine phoenix]

Wait so is aspected Benedict a temporary upgraded Benedict or is it a separate action from benedict

[hazy shadow]

Separate ability

[pine phoenix]

Oh no

[little swift]

Benefic is a different action from aspected benefic

[pine phoenix]

That makes mapping much harder @_@

[little swift]

Aspected applies an effect based on your sect

[grizzled mural]

If I buy plat would they downgrade to gold or just standard?

[hazy shadow]

AST is a more active healer in regards to apm

Will take some. Getting used to on controller, but it's definitely doable.

[twilit arch]

it would downgrade to whatever they have, so if they go with the free marriage it would be the free version

[grizzled mural]

Do you know what the dress is called?

[pine phoenix]

Ye astro's one of the main reasons I got interested in FFXIV so I'm very excited but seems like a lot to figure out at first

[deft yarrow]

if I'm playing on a free trial account would I still get the exp bonus for creating a character on a preferred world?

[hazy shadow]

I saw somewhere someone suggesting a wireless keyboard /mouse combination for Ps4 but I haven't purchased a console in over a decade.

[pine phoenix]

I'm on PC I just play on controller bc I haven't had a working mouse in a bit lol

[analog gate]

if I'm playing on a free trial account would I still get the exp bonus for creating a character on a preferred world?
@deft yarrow yes

[hazy shadow]

Ooh, I see.

[west root]

I bought the item back, thank you so much!@little swift

[deft yarrow]

Ok thanks <3
Is there a resource that could advise me on what world to play on for what data center?

Or that gives insight to the 'atmosphere' of each world?

[proud willow]

Since the bulk of socialization goes on in private channels, I don't think you'll find a big difference between worlds

[vague narwhal]

the quests marked with pluses can unlock duties?

[proud willow]

aside from language-specific servers in EU

[deft yarrow]

when doing roulettes and such you get matches with the whole data center right?

[grizzled mural]

Ye

[deft yarrow]

so worlds doesn't really make that much of a difference?

[proud willow]

yes, any duty unlock quest that isn't MSQ will be a

[little swift]

Preferred world bonus is mostly the thing you'd want

[deft yarrow]

what does world dictate then?

[vague narwhal]

ty

[deft yarrow]

what players I can see in normal zones?

but can't I

'visit' other worlds as well or something?

[proud willow]

Yup, easily

[little swift]

Pretty much what housing is available/what free companies you can join

And how your market for selling is

[deft yarrow]

free companies are also tied to worlds?

[granite swan]

Is the Alexander gear worth tryin to get?

[little swift]

Not really maethil unless you like the glamour

For use its not worth shire is easier to get

[proud willow]

you will only be able to a.) get an apartment/house, b.) join a free company, c.) access your retainers (bank) and sell items, and d.) attend a wedding

on your home server

[granite swan]

so pretty much just enjoy the story :p

[little swift]

Than alex savage stuff

[deft yarrow]

sorry for all the questions and thanks for the info ❤️ ❤️

[proud willow]

you can do absolutely anything else while world visiting

[brave ravine]

i'm about to hit 50, should i start to think about gearing or just continue on MSQ for heavensward?

[deft yarrow]

My choice is between atomos and ramuh

[little swift]

Continue msq

[deft yarrow]

either of those a clear good/bad choice?

[little swift]

Use poetics if you have some but othwrwise msq gear is fine

[granite swan]

after you beat ARR, you got about 15 hours of MSQ before Heavensward and it gives you gear upto item level 110 i think near the end

[brave ravine]

oh i see

[grizzled mural]

If I buy the plat plan and they get standard does my friend also get the mount

[proud willow]

@brave ravine there's a vendor in Mor Dhona and a new vendor in each of the main cities who will give you Augmented Ironworks gear in exchange for a currency that you'll start earning soon. Just be aware that that exists and you'll be fine... no need to explicitly farm up that set

(get the weapon immediately for sure though)

[twilit arch]

You only get the mount from gold/plat plans

[grizzled mural]

Alright thanks

[brave ravine]

is that stuff called allegans or whatever?

[twilit arch]

and if you want the plat version of the outfit

[proud willow]

Allagan Tomestones of Poetics

[twilit arch]

you both need plat

[obtuse glacier]

So, I am now a summoner. I'm assuming I just focus on MSQ now?

[grizzled mural]

Aww damn

[twilit arch]

otherwise it will use the lower verison

[obtuse glacier]

And more job quests too

[proud willow]

MSQ and job quests, yeah

[obtuse glacier]

Dope 😄

[burnt flicker]

I really should farm yokai, but didn't learn how to start it 😦

[proud willow]

advancement in Grand Company ranks can also be important but doesn't need to be your top priority

[little swift]

@burnt flicker quest starts right outside uldah main aetheryte

We have a pin here

With infor about it

[faint dawn]

Wanna Guage what yall think.

Is it doable to form a group dedicated to like minded people forming multiple statics through the week and if so would anyone like to join this?

This is the question I wanted to ask earlier but needed the right wording

[ivory gull]

How do you get the Namazu body suit ?

[proud willow]

I'm not sure what you mean by forming multiple statics

[fading zealot]

Hey does anyone know if skyward points and achievement progress will reset when phase 3 comes out? Or does it stay cumulative throughout phases

[proud willow]

like, a raiding guild where you just raid with whoever is available? those don't work out so well here, because of how the weekly chests work with reclears

Progress for the existing achievements will definitely not reset

[faint dawn]

Aaaaa beans

That makes sense

Any tips how to juggle first comers and subs? Like substitutes?

[little swift]

With subs you have to accept they either have done their weekly clear without you through pugs

And therefor loses you a chest

Or they might have done less prog than you guys and might need catching up

I'd say form a firm group if you do plan on doing that

And work through stuff with them

Anyone else who wasn't part of the initial group can form another if theres enough people

[crude marten]

Any chance we'd have the primals as mounts?

[faint flare]

No

Very small

[little swift]

Ramuh is a mount

That's about it

[faint flare]

Well that

[urban oar]

how long does it take for an alt to receive Tales of [item] from delivery mog? been waiting an hour and havent received it

[faint flare]

Though partly cheating cause its via eden but eh

[proud willow]

purchases that aren't account wide don't usually take an hour, as far as I know

[crude marten]

@little swift wait what?? I have the wind up ramuh, ramuh weapons and my chocobo has ramuh vestments. I've never heard of ramuh as a mount?!

[proud willow]

check again to make sure your mailbox isn't full, I suppose? and then try relogging

[faint flare]

E8S drops the Eden version of Ramuh

As a mount

Get to ride Centuar dad

[crude marten]

Oh wait its the horse one.. not to my liking

i wanted just the lightning beard guy as a mount or a thunder cloud with the old geezer

Oh well..

[urban oar]

relogged a few times and hit the send request a dozen times, even went a grabbed a few levels too

[deft yarrow]

how do you change the ingame language?

[wheat wasp]

how do you skip cutscenes on ps4?

[proud willow]

the only other thing that immediately occurs to me is to check the purchase history and see if there's a possibility that you bought it for the wrong character

[urban oar]

email receipt says its for the intended character

my only guess is that its made a few minutes before the purchase

[gloomy ice]

@wheat wasp Push the Circle button during cutscenes to bring up the skip prompt.

[wheat wasp]

Thanks

[urban oar]

i received my 50+ other account-wide items so idk why its being held up :c

[twilit arch]

mail can be slow sometimes 🤷‍♀️

[neon aspen]

did MUCH better on copied factory tonight

dunno if anyone who was here last night is here now but thanks for your advice

had like 3 deaths maybe? it was double digits last night so big improvement

i made the boss attack bar really big which helped

and also i removed alliance animations

so i can see wtf is going on

my biggest problem with 9s was not being sure where his front was

like i see flank cannons but i cant see his ring cause of all the people

and in the chaos its hard to tell

[brave ravine]

is there a lore reason why nier universe is in this game? or producer just went yolo

[crude marten]

been waiting for 80 mins now, no party built for an Extreme Shiva.. oh well..

[faint flare]

Use party finder

[crude marten]

@brave ravine company greens, i believe

[gloomy ice]

For Extreme trials, it's best to use the party finder.

[faint flare]

No one ques for extremes

[crude marten]

@gloomy ice i see.. i haven't tried that yet.. separate from duty finder huh...

[faint flare]

@brave ravine well its on the ||First||, dont think there is a reason why its here other than ||Dwarves found shit||

[brave ravine]

[faint flare]

Maybe the last tier gives us more reason 🤷‍♂️

[crude marten]

@faint flare hmm is it the raid finder? i don't seem to have Party finder on my Duty menu

[faint flare]

Party menu button > party finder

[crude marten]

I see.. hmm i have to log a request here huh

[faint flare]

Throw up a party finder, advertise unsync and face roll over it

[crisp mural]

Does a persons level matter when you use aetherial mimicry on them or does it not matter

[faint flare]

No

Just role

[green grail]

doesnt matter

[crisp mural]

Ah okay

[crude marten]

Haha duty and party finders cant be used at the same time

[alpine shadow]

You use party finder first, then you use duty finder after you got your party from party finder

[warped nest]

Form party first

[deft yarrow]

not sure if this is the right place, but I'm experiencing stutters/hitching sometimes in game, however, I'm getting over 120fps

[warped nest]

Then queue for duty

[deft yarrow]

is there a known issue/fix for this?

[crude marten]

@warped nest will do,sorry i meant im still queued up for a quest currently for story purposes

[twilit schooner]

level 58 yellow scrip miner gear worth it?

Or just power through what i can to 60

[floral zodiac]

Hey guys i got a question about kupo bot. I like the partyfinder feature but i was wondering if it's possible to use it without role restrictions at all, if i wanna group up for activities outside of ffxiv, so e. g. a partyfinder where just x people can join with a title and description still

[warped nest]

There are additional setting in the party finder to adjust role restrictions

[crude marten]

"Dead" gear sells for so much hahaha, im still here waiting for them to go lower

[warped nest]

free fantasia, yeah, that one way

Otherwise, you gonna pay for it

[floral zodiac]

@warped nest but I don't want any roles, neither dps nor tank nor heal, just open spots for discord users to join

[warped nest]

Wait... You are talking in game party finder right?

[floral zodiac]

No kupo bot i said :P

[warped nest]

Oh, my bad

Apologies

[floral zodiac]

Np xD

This is supposed to also be the support server for the bot right?

[tidal yarrow]

how does swiftcast work?

[pliant wind]

It lets you cast a spell instantly. Like raise or something like that

[twilit arch]

if you're asking about kupo bot, you're better off putting it in #discord-feedback

[warped nest]

It make your next spell cast instant

[floral zodiac]

Ok thanks kael

[scenic orchid]

Is the preferred server bonus xp all new characters, not just new accounts?

[twilit arch]

any character created on the world will receive the buff

[scenic orchid]

Cool, thanks

[gray sage]

Anyway, while obviously I am gonna not half ass it, are you punished less for stuff like lag and less than pitch perfect button pressing in easier difficulties like normal and hard (as opposed to savage and extreme)?

[pearl wharf]

uuuh

i cant jump up there?

and its too far away?

[slate crow]

Is there a way to craft multiple things at once? Like 3 items at once instead of just one.

[twilit arch]

quick synth

but its not that great if you're looking to craft multiple high quality items

[paper torrent]

is the chocbo carriage in the game?

cant find any info on it

[twilit arch]

no, its not

[gray sage]

If you mean a form of fast travel, well, there's Chocobo Porters.

[soft bough]

when will 5.4 come out?

[twilit arch]

3mos or so from now

[soft bough]

so the yokai event will last for another 3 months?

[twilit arch]

give or take, yeah

[paper torrent]

no Im talking about the mount

need a decent 4 seater 😛

[gray sage]

Anyway, while obviously I am gonna not half ass it, are you punished less for stuff like lag and less than pitch perfect button pressing in easier difficulties like normal and hard (as opposed to savage and extreme)?
Because sometimes I can get bad lag (or maybe it just my computer is crap)

[granite swan]

"They have sounded the alarum" oh noes, what of the rum?!? Tis a new drink? ....
Whats with the weird spelling of some words

[twilit arch]

alarum is just an old way of saying alarm

its an intentional choice to use older version of words

[shrewd owl]

stuff like gaol instead of jail

[tidal yarrow]

what's the cooldown of swiftcast? for like healers

[warped nest]

!action Swiftcast

[zinc orbit]

**Swiftcast** : lvl 18 CNJ THM ACN WHM BLM SMN SCH AST RDM BLU (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Next spell is cast immediately.
Duration: 10s

Powered by XIVAPI

[tidal yarrow]

so basically on a trial 2 people can die every minute and all be fine

[warped nest]

In theory yes

In practice, probably no

Too many moving parts to account for

[granite swan]

Is there a way to start duties on Very Easy? failing and having to redo them every time is getting to be completely bs

[warped nest]

No

Which duty is giving you trouble?

[karmic niche]

why hallow ground doesn't work most of the time?

._.

[warped nest]

It takes a sec to activate

[paper torrent]

uhh, whats the etiquette on joining an ex/savage trial or raid via duty finder? should I do it if I haven't beaten the duty?

[karmic niche]

ooft

[warped nest]

@paper torrent check what kind of party it is

[granite swan]

the save the hostage one ... ayremic died while i was tryin to find the no where to be found 6th hostage

[warped nest]

Clear party are for people who have learnt and practiced

[paper torrent]

no not party finder, duty finder

[warped nest]

And they are going for clear

Ohhh, duty

People usually don't do duty finder for ex or savage

For normal/alliance raid, the norm is to watch a video ahead of time

And tell people it is your first time

[twilit arch]

you do not need to watch a video for normal/alliance

[warped nest]

Kael, can you help Maethil on their instanced duty?

How do i unlock the collectable exchange timer?

I've unlocked the idyllshire quest but when i check my timer i still don't have the rowenas house of splendors timer

[granite swan]

ok so i failed cause ther was no 6th to rescue, ffs

[twilit arch]

collectables are no longer in the timers window because they do not change

[twilit schooner]

Ohh ok

[fervent garden]

when does the fashion report start ?

[old crypt]

What is required to unlock duty roulette expert?

[twilit arch]

anamesis anyder and the heroes' gauntlet, both msq dungeons

[warped nest]

A more generic description is the top two latest dungeon

If and when we get a new dungeon in... 5.5, Anamesis will retire and go to the other roulette

[old crypt]

wow that's a lot of quests to work through

[granite swan]

Welcome to Ever ... Quest :p

[desert blade]

what are the red quest things?

[warped nest]

Red color means you didn't meet the requirements to undertake the quest

Usually it means job lvl, gear level, or need a specific job/class

[warped nest]

👍

Better than me typing this out

[leaden ginkgo]

for you know

[desert blade]

i see these at like all the trainers

[leaden ginkgo]

reinforcement

you need to equip the tool mars

it's in your armory, and the quest will most likely become available for ya

[desert blade]

oh

[leaden ginkgo]

if you click on the quest, it will give you details on why it's locked

[hot eagle]

do your jobquests from your starter class till 10 or 15 to unlock class change

[warped nest]

It is 10

[desert blade]

oooh

thats what i get for not reading

[warped nest]

15 is the msq level you need to hit to get to other cities to get the rest of the class

[desert blade]

yeah it said gotta be level 10 i guess

ah

i see

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone know how to get to the gold saucer? im new to the game so i havent done any past quest for this or any of the sort.

x_x

[desert blade]

tytyty 🙂

[waxen scaffold]

Um, how does transpose work / what's it's purpose?

[warped nest]

Transpose, in low level, swap you between your Astral Fire and Umbral Ice form

Astral Fire make fire spell do more damage

[granite swan]

@leaden ginkgo quest in uldah leads you to it

[warped nest]

Umbral Ice massively increase your MP recovery

[waxen scaffold]

Oh so instant-swap

[warped nest]

Yup

[granite swan]

@leaden ginkgo It Could Happen to You

[warped nest]

Its usage is different at higher level, but that's not important for now

[waxen scaffold]

Ah, was wondering why I'd use it if I could just cast the other spell.

ty!

[warped nest]

👌

@waxen scaffold if I may

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

[warped nest]

Thaumarturge/Black Mage is a tad whacky with their rotation

While leveling

Doesn't happen to other class/job

On top on learning new skills, different traits are happening on the background for THM/BLM

Hence the whacky rotation on different levels

[exotic ridge]

Is there a way to block all the team spell visual effects? When I'm tanking its very distracting with all that going off around you?

[exotic ridge]

ok thx

[twilit arch]

no, just need to do the roulette

[exotic ridge]

@obsidian patio Is others classed as the enemy?

[twilit arch]

no, others are players not in your party

[exotic ridge]

for like the 24 man stuff

[twilit arch]

can do those on any job

and yes, like in 24 man the other alliances' player effects fall under "other"

[narrow vale]

So how do you guy goes about leveling your alt? do you max level job then lvl the other through story? I'm currently overleveled my DPS 10 lvl above the story so I'm lvling Conjurer as well as Marauder using the story experience? Is this a good strat to lvl 3 at the same time?

[spring oasis]

Shud i run eden raids for gear

[obsidian patio]

they're a decent source of i480 stuff, yeah.

just have to get lucky on rolls assuming everyone else is also trying to get the loot too.

!faq altlvlguide

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[obsidian patio]

@narrow vale

[spring oasis]

Is crystalium gear better than eden

Ik cap per week for tombs

[obsidian patio]

You can really level up other classes whenever, not too much of a need/reason to wait until you hit level cap

yes

base crystarium is i490 and upgrades to i500

[spring oasis]

Ok, coolio, cause I dont feel like running ingame EX for stuff yet

Like tye 495 weap

EndgameI

Ty dad

[warped nest]

The way this is designed is, you aren't obligated to commit to a job

And do all your MSQ with it

It is very easy to level another job and catch up in level and use that job to progress story

[thorn mantle]

if i got the free trial on steam, will i have to get the full game also on steam?

[obsidian patio]

for the PC license, yes.

[thorn mantle]

hmm ok

another thing, when was the last time it went on sale on steam? XD

[obsidian patio]

I think during the summer sales? I don't really keep up on the timeframe that sales happened

[thorn mantle]

hmm, then i might as well just buy it now

thanks

[deft yarrow]

if I get the free trial on steam I have to buy the full version on steam as well?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[deft yarrow]

there is a free trial on the square site?

[obsidian patio]

https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com/

Do note that you can't be on the trial for multiple platforms at once

[deft yarrow]

so I would have to make a new account?

[obsidian patio]

if you want to not be on steam for PC, then yes

[deft yarrow]

kk, the benefit for buying it on square website is because it goes on sale more regularlly?

[obsidian patio]

ehh, feels pretty equal for the most part. Non-steam gets "more" sales since you can buy from more than one store

like amazon, gamestop, or other major retailers for your region.

[deft yarrow]

kk, I've only been playing for a couple of hours

so I don't mind restarting, but I'm not sure if it is worth it

[urban oar]

do we still need multiple DoH to repair gear or just one?

[obsidian patio]

repairing is still class-specific

[warped nest]

Multiple

[weak lance]

Why is the exp bar different color herE?

[warped nest]

!faq restedexp

[zinc orbit]

Rested Experience FAQ

'Why does my EXP bar have some blue in it?'

That's Rested experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.

'How much of a boost is it?'

The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.

[obsidian patio]

I should edit that to include the not-blue color

[warped nest]

Lol yeah

Blue is when the accumulated rested exp exceed your current level

[paper torrent]

how do loot drops work in ultimate trials? do you get a guaranteed weapon drop?

[alpine shadow]

you get a guaranteed weekly token, which you then redeem for a weapon

[teal tendon]

new player here, what disciple of hand should i be to accompany pugilist?

[alpine shadow]

none?

[obsidian patio]

I wouldn't really worry about leveling up crafting classes to go with your starting class

the story will give you free gear for quite a while

[teal tendon]

oh ok

[crisp mural]

Its only 1 totem to redeem an ultimate weapon right

[teal tendon]

thanks

[obsidian patio]

yes

And either way you basically end up leveling up all of them since crafting materials cross to the other crafters

like how a weapon made with blacksmith might use materials from itself, Carpenter, Leatherworker, and Alchemist.

or a chest piece made by Leatherworker can use stuff from itself, Weaver, Goldsmith, and Alchemist.

[teal tendon]

i see

[warped nest]

Crafting is optional

You don't need to craft your own gear if you don't want to

[teal tendon]

does crafting give you better gear tho?

[obsidian patio]

in terms of endgame not really

It technically is the best gear right at the start of a new raid tier since it's the highest item level stuff that's not behind a weekly loot lockout.

but over time as the patch goes on it eventually becomes the gearset to buy to avoid having to get lower item level gear to be able to do endgame stuff.

[teal tendon]

gotcha

[narrow vale]

Does FFXIV Complete Edition goes on sale frequently? Or at all?

[ionic hazel]

Does the totem of light from seat of sacrifice EX have a weekly cap

[obsidian patio]

@ionic hazel no

extreme trials have no weekly cap of any kind

@narrow vale every now and then, yes.

There's no real schedule to sales so it's mostly a "wait and see"

[narrow vale]

Thanks, I looked it up and apparently it is on sale newegg rn. I assume it just for the client and doesn't work on steam like BDO

[obsidian patio]

correct

[tidal yarrow]

when will be added higher ilv gear?

[glad comet]

this is the highest I think...

[obsidian patio]

in 5.4, which is about 3 and a half months from no assuming no delays like 5.3 had.

[glad comet]

unless you're talking about 5.4

which is the final tier of gear

[tidal yarrow]

ahh oki

[obsidian patio]

If all they did was leave the duty then no

so unless they were also being inflammatory or harassing others before leaving you probably can't report them for it

[tidal yarrow]

if you leave just because you decided that you dont wanna stay in it anymore randomly yes, if you leave you get penalty queue tho

oh i thought on a moral level

not in game harassment

[spiral ridge]

hi - i am trying to collect crystal sands. i am out of leve quests. i am trying to find an alternative way to farm these. internet is saying to exchange blue scrips in and trade those in for crystal sands. do blue scrips even exist in the game still?

[obsidian patio]

blue scrip tokens still exist, yes.

You can buy them with yellow scrips in the level 50 and 58 exchanges from the scrip vendors

[spiral ridge]

where do i use the blue scrips?

[obsidian patio]

you trade them in like you would for the amber vilekins

5 tickets per turn-in

Another option you can try if you have a level 70-80 combat class is to solo farm the extreme ARR trials for the primal material turn-ins

and buy the cheaper materials of the turn-in

[spiral ridge]

oh gotcha

[tidal yarrow]

so basically if i start grinding now all savages for gear i'll be BiS and next day there will be better crafted gear purchasable in 2 seconds on mb?

[spiral ridge]

appreciate it

[thorn mantle]

does redeeming the code for shadowbringers change anything except unlock dlc content?

[obsidian patio]

nope

@tidal yarrow if you mean when 5.4 hits, then yes.

Bozjan front most likely won't be adding anything that compares or beats Eden Verse savage gear.

[tidal yarrow]

gotcha

[plain python]

is there a command for interacting object/npc?

[obsidian patio]

I think 5 or 0 on the numpad does so?

or at least it auto-goes through dialogue

[weak lance]

is Magitek Death Claw flying mount?

[obsidian patio]

all mounts can fly

yes, even the ones that would look silly doing so

like a turtle https://youtu.be/zR3WFH_54Zc

[gloomy mortar]

I have 10 Rowenas Token. Are they worthless? Discard ?

[obsidian patio]

Yes, all the variations of the Rowena Tokens, besides Blue Scrips, are now worthless and can't be used for anything.

[weak lance]

damn that turtle is awesome

[gloomy mortar]

What about those Aetherstone tomestones?

[obsidian patio]

the aetherstones are used in crafting the replica allagan/high allagan/dreadwyrm gear

[limpid tangle]

I've seen that many have asked about referral codes, so please don't hate me lol. Someone gave me a referral code which I used. I now want to recruit friends, but don't see the Recruit A Friend banner on Mogstation

[obsidian patio]

IIRC, you need to have started paying for subscription to be able to generate a code to give to others

[limpid tangle]

IIRC, you need to have started paying for subscription to be able to generate a code to give to others
@obsidian patio Thanks, makes sense! 🙂

[raven burrow]

what does a red or white cross on gear icon mean?

[green grail]

cross is a glam, colour is the dye

[obsidian patio]

red and black cross means the glamour cannot be dyed

[raven burrow]

i see, thanks

how big of a difference does it make to have gear fully slotted with materia? specifically neo ish?

[simple shore]

If you're asking "is it worth it to pentameld the 480 neo-ish"

the answer is no

[raven burrow]

if i knew what pentamelding was

🤣

but i guess ill just leave the gear as is

[obsidian patio]

pentamelding means to overmeld crafting gear to the full potential of 5 melded materia

[tidal yarrow]

do i have to request meld to pentameld?

if my highest crafter is 60

[obsidian patio]

yes

NPC melders don't do overmelds

[tidal yarrow]

noticed

like the % that the meld will be effective decrease every overmeld afaik?

also, can i overmeld augmented crystarium gear

[obsidian patio]

yes

no

with the final overmeld the percentage for success is around 7-8%

and items with the line "Advanced Melding Forbidden" on the tooltip means that you can only meld into the visible slots.

[tidal yarrow]

ahh okay

[obsidian patio]

which is basically all gear but crafted stuff

[weary burrow]

how do i enter a dungeon solo, it wont let me in

[tidal yarrow]

so cant you overmeld savage gear?

[obsidian patio]

Duty finder > Cog at the top of the menu > Toggle "Undersized Party"

correct

[tidal yarrow]

if you're doing msq for the first time you can't really solo dungeons tho

[weary burrow]

cool thnx

[obsidian patio]

do note that doing a dungeon undersized doesn't adjust the difficulty in any way, so if you're trying to do this for the story you'll need to be overleveled by a good amount to make it possible

[fleet star]

hey, new here, not sure if this is the right chat, but anyone know why i'm getting two different prices here for the collectors ed upgrade? I have the free trial rn and saw it was on sale for $40 USD, but when i try to upgrade in the Mog Station it's showing $60 at checkout

[obsidian patio]

You might accidentally be looking at the Complete Collector's Edition instead of the plain Complete Edition.

[fleet star]

here's what i'm seein for options

sale showing this tho

[obsidian patio]

The first thing is not the collector's edition

it's the game licenses, which are the thing that actually let you play the full game.

[weary burrow]

trying to get the mind spell for blue mage, first dungeon solo

[alpine shadow]

it is the upgrade in the mogstation that is on sale

[weary burrow]

hopefully it goes well xd

[fleet star]

OH

thanks lol

[brave ravine]

There's a sword icon above my green hp bar and next to it says "ALL" and sometimes "OTHERS" what does that mean?

[obsidian patio]

Those are target filters which you can adjust in the character configuration

it basically adjusts what targets/entities you pressing tab can target

[elder pendant]

what site is that

with the discounts?

[brave ravine]

[obsidian patio]

the mogstation when you choose to digitally upgrade the licenses to collector's edition in the "Additional Services" Section

@elder pendant

[obsidian patio]

If you have the 1000 needles spell or are willing to get it from the sabotenders near Little Ala Mhigo, that spell trivializes pretty much all of 1-49 leveling

[weary burrow]

ok, cant event do first boss gg

XD

[oak ice]

Which level are you?

[weary burrow]

too low XD

i thought 10 levels above was enough

so 26

[oak ice]

Get Acorn Bomb and 1000 needles

[weary burrow]

have em

[oak ice]

Sleep a group and hit them one by one

Turn on tank stance

[weary burrow]

the boss hit me 2 hard xd

am i not supposed to get like mighty guard? got more than 10 spells

[simple shore]

Mighty Guard and White Wind

[obsidian patio]

definitely have mighty guard active, as it doesn't reduce the power of 1k needles

[simple shore]

Thsoe are the other two key components for 1-49

[obsidian patio]

and make sure your gear is up to date

[weary burrow]

where do i get them? cause for the next job quest i need that mind spell

[simple shore]

Both of those are given based on unlocking a number of spells

[obsidian patio]

10 spells for both

[simple shore]

So just go get more spells from world stuff

[wet cradle]

what can I do with them?

[weary burrow]

uhm, i have 11 spells yet i didnt get em

[oak ice]

Should be in the steps of thal in Ul'Dah

[obsidian patio]

nothing anymore, they're basically fireworks in that they cause a little visual effect

[wet cradle]

oh lol

thanks

[obsidian patio]

@weary burrow One of the Mamool Ja near Martyn should have totems you can 'buy' after hitting milestones/achievements to learn spells from

he should have Mighty Guard and White Wind

[weary burrow]

cool got em ;D

[raven burrow]

if i queue for msq roulette 5mins before daily reset, do i get double or is it overridden?

[simple shore]

It counts for whichever day it is when it finishes

i.e. you get one bonus, not two, and it only counts for the second day - the first days bonus is just lost opportunity.

[weary burrow]

know how much hp i should have to tank final sting? xD

[raven burrow]

so basically make sure to get everything done before daily reset happens

[obsidian patio]

I think Final Sting from the bees does like 90% of your max hp if it uses a fixed amount

[weary burrow]

so just be topped off

[obsidian patio]

if it is influenced by damage reduction abilities then definitely have mighty guard active

[north kernel]

When tired brain made me not see the help channel.

I tried checking the Journal but I could be blind. I went to The Firmament and got the fancy cutscene of it being done, and wanted to show my friend who cant do the Restoration stuff yet.

Anyone have a link or know where specifically to look to get the like 10 seconds of fly by camera? xD

[obsidian patio]

No idea. :X

[leaden ginkgo]

what does the forlorn maiden do in fates when she spawns?/

[obsidian patio]

only thing I could find was from when it was introduced which didn't have what you were looking for.

[north kernel]

She provides an exp buff

[obsidian patio]

@leaden ginkgo killing it boosts the amount of experience you get from the next fate you complete

[leaden ginkgo]

ooh tyty

[north kernel]

Hmm alright, well thanks for checking

[thorn mantle]

how long does mogstation purchases usually take to arrive?

bought a mount and still not here yet :/

[obsidian patio]

character-specific items usually only take a couple of minutes, longest I ever had to wait was 10-15 minutes

account-wide purchases take longer on average though. I usually have to wait 30 minutes to an hour for them

[thorn mantle]

it was an account-wide mount

ah ok

[karmic niche]

how do i get the class mount?

[oak ice]

Class mount?

[obsidian patio]

if you mean the tank achievement mounts you claim them by talking to Jonathas in Old Gridania.

[karmic niche]

is that it?

lol

[obsidian patio]

well you need to complete the relevant achievements for them, but yes.

[oak ice]

You do the achievements listed under Battle for the tanks and then talk to Jonathas

[karmic niche]

oh ok

[oak ice]

For CNJ, not WHM, you get to 30 and do the heal the unicorn quest

But those are the only ones I can think of as being class mounts

[wet cradle]

where can I check my desynthesis level?

[oak ice]

Character window>classes>switch over to DoH/DoL/mouse over the little bar

[weary burrow]

kind of annoying when 1000 needles miss cause of lvl diff xD

[wet cradle]

thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

is it worth buying the crafted gear? cause the item levels higher but all the stats are lower so i dont get how this works

[urban oar]

where do you get the aether compass if you used story boost

[wet cradle]

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/181498-Desynthesis-Endgame-Guide

is this guide still relevant?

[weary burrow]

is bad breath usefull?

[solemn shard]

For social distancing it is lmao

[weary burrow]

XDDD

nice one

[obsidian patio]

@wet cradle in terms of leveling not really anymore

but for demimateria its still pretty accurate

[wet cradle]

any guide for leveling?

[karmic niche]

main or alt?

[obsidian patio]

Slow and free method: desynth level 80 dungeon gear

[wet cradle]

even when I just started?

[karmic niche]

i mean main class or other class

[obsidian patio]

for leveling up desynth, enles

[karmic niche]

ah

wtf

sorry

[obsidian patio]

Yes ikea, there's no bonus to desynthing stuff near your level

[tidal yarrow]

can i do sss while hosting on pf

[obsidian patio]

expensive and fast: buy vendor items to desynth

[wet cradle]

but doesn't it just fail with lvl 80 items? D:

[obsidian patio]

failures don't happen anymore

[wet cradle]

wut?

it changed? lol

thanks!!!!!

[obsidian patio]

yep

you can also have all desynths at max now

[solemn shard]

Guys is blue mage good? I heard you can throw fish at people and I thought it was funny

[wet cradle]

omg for real???

[obsidian patio]

It's side-content, to put it bluntly dedrich

[wet cradle]

hmm yeah

[obsidian patio]

but yeah, for extra desynth points use Tinker's Calm and Bacon Broth for faster desynth leveling

[waxen scaffold]

On the free trial, how/when do you start with the social/multiplayer content? Nobody really talks, or if they are, I can't see it.

[wet cradle]

is this buff food or?

[obsidian patio]

BLU is pretty OP for the content it can do, but it can't do current endgame content (level cap for them is 60) or queue up in the duty finder (must be done undersized or with a full group of people beforehand)

yes, tinker's calm is a potion and bacon broth is a meal

[wet cradle]

thank you very much sensei

[obsidian patio]

@waxen scaffold People really only talk in the main city-state zones or endgame game hubs. So for a new Trial player those would be Limsa Lominsa, Gridania, and Ul'Dah.

The main overworld zones don't see much talking in them for the most part.

As for when you can do dungeons with other players, that's at level 15 in the story.

[tidal yarrow]

how do i lose aggro with a dummy?

feature should have been added in 5.3

[obsidian patio]

right-click them

[waxen scaffold]

Hm, I was doing a lot of fetch quests in Ul'Dah, saw people crafting and stuff but no talking. Tho people have to talk in dungeons hopefully XD, so hope I can meet some people then.

And by no talking I meant, I asked em what they were making and they ignored me.

[simple shore]

That's pretty normal tbh

People who are crafting are generally half-AFK anyway

[potent lava]

So Im looking up Monk macros and there's this apparently this move called "Internal Release". I dont have that; is this a removed skill?

[obsidian patio]

yes

also I don't suggest using macros for combat skills as they're generally very bad

[simple shore]

As someone who uses macros more than they should

There's actually just no need to macro on monk

[weary burrow]

meh, no fun that 1000 needles gets divided by the number of mobs

xD

[tidal yarrow]

how do i start a ready check?

[potent lava]

really? thought at least macroing the boot-strike-punch would be worth

[simple shore]

/readycheck

[obsidian patio]

never

[potent lava]

or the aoes

[obsidian patio]

Macros only work in full seconds, so you're always losing time using them for combat

and macros never queue up the actions so you're losing more time from that

Why You Shouldn't Macro GCDs

https://twitter.com/krk969/status/1128330814339424262?s=21

[obsidian patio]

this tweet shows the macro delay in action

notice how the action on the right never starts/works right when the timer (the circle going around the action) completes

[simple shore]

You can get away with it on some things, but if you do what you were suggesting (putting it on basically every core GCD of your rotation) you're looking at like a 10-15% DPS nerf to yourself.

[tidal yarrow]

/readycheck
@simple shore
doesn't work

[simple shore]

Yes it does

[tidal yarrow]

unavailable at this time

[simple shore]

Are you solo?

[tidal yarrow]

8

[simple shore]

idk then. i do /readycheck all the time.

[tidal yarrow]

one person on the party is offline

[simple shore]

Literally been using it once every ~15 minutes for the last two hours, lol

[tidal yarrow]

why joining a pf and going off

[potent lava]

huh okay then
side tangent, what job is most improved with macros?

[simple shore]

That....depends on perspective

Purists (who are technically right) will tell you no job is improved.

[warped nest]

Tank and healers

[simple shore]

I would tell you that Tanks, DRG, and Healers stand the most to gain from macros - because of skills that target the ground, or skills that you need to quickly be able to put on another player.

[warped nest]

You can use pre-made messages

Over typing stuff you said a thousand times

[tidal yarrow]

how to kick somebody from party?

nvm

i thought there was a vote or something to do

i just kicked directly

[hazy urchin]

is it known how long will the yo kai event last

[obsidian patio]

until patch 5.4, which assuming no delays will be in about 3.5 months

[left moth]

until 5.4 so mid december

[hazy urchin]

ok thats plently of time. Thanks

[obsidian patio]

the grind has been drastically reduced this time around

I think I've spent about 4 or 5 hours of very casual grinding and I already have all 4 of the new weapons

[neat stratus]

Do me and my friend have to play on the same world?

[gritty oracle]

Is it possible to get legendary medals without the yokai watch equipped? I think I just did.

[obsidian patio]

Only the same datacenter

[neat stratus]

Because my world is locked for new character creation

[simple shore]

No, but you do have to be on the same datacenter

[warped nest]

@neat stratus same data center is fine

[obsidian patio]

The watch is only needed for the normal tokens

you don't need it for the legendary tokens

[warped nest]

@neat stratus wait for non peak hours

And try again

[obsidian patio]

So you can unequip it once you have all the minions

[simple shore]

What server Playez?

[neat stratus]

its been locked to the past 5 days non stop even at night

Spriggan

[warped nest]

Night is when people have time to play

[simple shore]

Alright

So Spriggan is EU Datacenter

[warped nest]

You gonna try in hours that will make you go "ugh... Do I have to"

[neat stratus]

They have tried creating characters for 3 days on SPriggan

and they cant so,....

but as someone said

does it matter?

as long as its in same datacenter?

what are the difference?

[simple shore]

For NA Datacenter, i always suggest between 5AM - 7AM EST. For EU, my assumption (but not backed by experience) would be 5AM - 7AM CEST

[warped nest]

@neat stratus if you guys are not in the same world, then you guys cannot form a guild

That's it

Everything else you can do as a group

[neat stratus]

Can we raid together?

[warped nest]

Yes

You can even quest in open world together, one of you just need to world visit

[simple shore]

I dont know the dynamics of EU Datacenters

[obsidian patio]

!faq worldvisit

[zinc orbit]

World Visit System

The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.

More information

[simple shore]

but you should have them make on Louisoix if you made on Spriggan

Its not blocked right now

That way you both have preferred bonus

[obsidian patio]

this has all the restrictions for visiting another world on your datacenter

[raven burrow]

golden blades of antiquity are 1 per week?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[potent lava]

Two free trial accounts cant party up to do overworld stuff without a third paid account right?
But can you technically do stuff together if you coordinate eg. discord call on the same server?

[warped nest]

Sure

[waxen scaffold]

Why do I see lv 80's on flying mounts camping fates of like lv5-12 in the newbie zones?
They like wreck-em and I barely get to join them, which sucks cause they can give a tone of xp.

[simple shore]

Yokai event

and uh

they dont give a ton of exp

[waxen scaffold]

I got like 1000xp from this event where I had to pick up cores

[simple shore]

Are you levelling an alt job?

[waxen scaffold]

Nope, newbie player.

I ate some food

[simple shore]

Then stick to doing and

FATEs are a waste of time on your first class/job

[open coral]

^

[simple shore]

The exp is quite bad, actually

They are generally only run by alt jobs of the DPS role who are waiting in queue for a dungeon (i.e. because there's nothing else to do)

[open coral]

And with the recent changes to the MSQ, you don't even need additional xp from FATEs to keep from hitting a level wall.

[urban oar]

besides 45-49, theres still leveling walls there

[open coral]

There's not

[proven bay]

I'm doing the "Not who they seem" Sylph tribe quest, and the objective is to use truesight bombs with ground targeting mode on some objects to reveal their true form. I've already done two, but when I try to do the last one it keeps saying I'm missing the bomb despite it being directly on them. What am I doing wrong?

[waxen scaffold]

Yeah I double checked my log and I got 1,1120 xp from the event.

Sorry, whoops 1120

[urban oar]

my friends literally went through the leveling wall yesterday

[unreal python]

If i cant get my hands on eden or crystarium gear due to weekly caps, can i use neo-ish gear as a sort of stepping stone?

[proven bay]

Yes

[open coral]

I literally just leveled a character through 2.0 doing only MSQ and hunt logs on a non-preferred server. The only level wall I hit was at 48, and needed to do a single leveling dungeon.

[urban oar]

thats still a leveling wall then. you didnt go through msq completely relying solely on msq

[waxen scaffold]

I'm just doing literally every quest atm

[simple shore]

can be ignored

[waxen scaffold]

I know, but msq has level-cut offs so I might as well just accept everything and do em along the way

[open coral]

don't give enough xp to make a difference one way or another.

[urban oar]

youre better off doing a fate than

[open coral]

Just do , , your job quests, and your class hunt logs, and you'll only need like, one dungeon roulette at some point to keep you ahead.

[simple shore]

Gry we're telling you its not necessary, as players who have actually done it.

[proven bay]

Anyone able to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with the tribe quest?

[waxen scaffold]

Okay, and I'm saying I'm just gonna do em because I have 30 quest slots available.

[weary burrow]

how do i dodge ifrits big aoe

trying to get his skill, solo run

[open coral]

Now, if you want to do all the (which will burn you out really quickly, tbh, which is one of the reasons we're telling you they're a waste of time), that's a different question.

You mean the full arena-wide one @weary burrow ? Kill the nails before he finishes his cast.

All of the nails.

I don't think a BLU can solo it.

[weary burrow]

ah...

hmm

[simple shore]

Apparently they can

[weary burrow]

that seems impossible as he is always close to it, 1000 needles doesnt work well there xd

[simple shore]

But it looks super hard

[open coral]

Yeah, 1000 Needles only does 1000 damage.

The nails have more hp than that.

If you're doing it on EX, Dragon's Voice should cover the entire arena, then you can use some of the high-damage/short-cast time spells to clear out the ones in the middle that Dragon's Voice misses.

[weary burrow]

lowest difficulty xd

[open coral]

You'll need at least a few casts of Dragon's Voice though.

Uh

You can't get the spell from Normal Ifrit?

It's Hard or EX only.
