Extra dialogue

tiny narwhal
#

Trusts take an extra 15mins to clear on average don't they?

halcyon glen
#

Depends

leaden ginkgo
#

fair play, the only problem is I feel like I’m not doing damage because it’s the opposite of flashy lol

tidal yarrow
#

so true lol.

modest gale
#

G'day, new to the game. Question about Provoke. Is there something fundamental about it that I'm missing? 'Cuz people in duties get mad at me when I use it. Am I not supposed to? Or is there some specific timing that I should use it?

agile laurel
#

yeah but in the time you've waited in queue you could've got it done with em

halcyon glen
#

But yes Trust tanks will always single pull

agile laurel
#

think of it like this

tiny narwhal
#

Yeah, single-pull = cancer

faint flare
#

Provoke is primarily used in conjunction with Shirk for tank swaps

halcyon glen
#

Then frankly suck it up

faint flare
#

Its rarely used outside of that other than pulling mobs from further away

tiny narwhal
#

Was just asking for help, wasn't complaining about anything.

agile laurel
#

@modest gale if you are a tank and you are not the main tank, and there is no obvious reason for you to be the main tank, the only reason for you to provoke is 'me tank me main tank brrr' which many people see as a dick move

#

especially if you're unwittingly aiming the boss somewhere damn stupid

faint flare
#

You dont actively spam provoke

leaden ginkgo
#

people like to do that in alliance raids I noticed

halcyon glen
#

or because it’s fun to cleave the party sometimes

faint flare
#

Because they're stupid

modest gale
#

Well, I don't. I use it once, people get mad and then I stop

obsidian wren
#

Either use it for tank swaps or when the maintank dies

winged solar
#

so the ARR content ends with The Ultimate Weapon quest?

halcyon glen
#

Nope

faint flare
#

No. The base story ends

obsidian wren
#

Since OT usually has tank stance turned off

agile laurel
#

@modest gale do you have a specific example?

proud willow
#

Ultimate Weapon is the end of 2.0

faint flare
#

You got 75 quests left

#

Before the true end

halcyon glen
#

That’s 2.0. You still have 80 quests and change before HW

faint flare
#

If you're the only tank, you dont need provoke

modest gale
#

Ah, well in regard to main tanks, what is the unwritten rule that someone is the main tank? The one that has more HP?

halcyon glen
#

Nope

faint flare
#

Whoever has stance on first or whoever pulls

#

Is the MT

wild terrace
#

now i cant change my password cause i dont remember the fkn security question

faint flare
#

Until the swap happens

leaden ginkgo
#

it’s just whoever is chad enough to get it first tbh, I never get communicatied of who will be

wise dock
#

80 quests, 6 trials, 2 dungeons, and three alliance raids

modest gale
#

Okay, so is it safe to assume that I will never start as the MT and just wait and see if the other tank will activate the stance?

agile laurel
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

faint flare
#

If you wanna be MT then be aggressive. Have the stance on and hit that countdown/pull the boss

proud willow
#

Let me show you the dance of my people: the "who is MTing" dance

agile laurel
#

turn stance on, if other person goes me tank me big brrr then either fight them or turn it off

leaden ginkgo
#

that’s when you provoke to assert the dominance

halcyon glen
#

It’s more fun for the tanks to fight over aggro. On the other hand, it’s significantly less fun for the healers.

#

So like

proud willow
#

Some people do actually use their words and ask, it's not all that uncommon

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah it’s pretty fun but people may not like it

#

yeah you could also ask in chat if you can main rank

proud willow
#

but the standard is for one person to silently turn it on, other person has it off, and away we go

modest gale
#

I see, very enlightening. I'll just assume that I'm not then 'cuz it's difficult to communicate using a controller.

#

Thank you for the feedback then 🙇‍♂️

faint flare
#

Again. If you wanna MT then stance up and pull

leaden ginkgo
#

if you want to though, don’t let anyone stop you

simple pine
#

is ornate neo ishgardian gear bad? as in cant be upgraded like normal?

faint flare
#

Its highly not worth it

leaden ginkgo
#

yes it may be outdated now

faint flare
#

Extremely expensive for barely any gain

leaden ginkgo
#

especially for the 5-10m gil price range

faint flare
#

Especially when Memoria gear exists

wild terrace
#

now my password doesnt work, security question unknown fkn trash game noone asked you to add more security i cant even play

graceful rock
#

hi all, i'm playing the free trial in this moment to try the game, i have some questions, what job i have to try at the beginning? in other mmo, like aion i'm main ranger or gladiator. And at the moment of this patch what is the a good dps (not samurai because i can't try it for the free trial i think, and black mage too).

faint flare
#

Play any

#

Every job is good

halcyon glen
#

Gladiator isn’t a DPS

faint flare
#

Meta is non existant here cause balance actually exists

halcyon glen
#

So keep that in mind

leaden ginkgo
#

is pugilist a starting class?

halcyon glen
#

Indeed

faint flare
#

Yes

simple pine
#

you can be both samurai and blackmage in trial

faint flare
#

Not samurai

halcyon glen
#

Incorrect on SAM

faint flare
#

Thats stormblood

halcyon glen
#

still requires SB

leaden ginkgo
#

you could try pugilist it’s like the other samurai

simple pine
#

maybe not for long either

#

isnt isnt it slated for update/small rework soon

faint flare
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

5.4

faint flare
#

Well monk is

simple pine
#

ya i meant monk

faint flare
#

Greased lightning gonna be different

halcyon glen
#

“Soon” = at earliest December

#

So like

faint flare
#

Well November probably

halcyon glen
#

Either way

rich bay
#

112 days after August 11th is December 1st, so not before December yes.

halcyon glen
#

It’s still going to be a melee with lots of positionals

#

And you’re still going to punch things

grim pivot
#

How much time does it take from reaching 80 to getting into the first big raid?

leaden ginkgo
#

you have to complete shb main story line I think for the raids but I could be mistaken

proud willow
#

once you are done with the 5.0 ShB story, you can immediately unlock the alliance raids as well as the Eden raids. the only thing potentially stopping you would be gear requirements

halcyon glen
#

@graceful rock to answer the actual question - our bow class is Archer -> Bard. They are a ranged DPS with a ton of freedom of movement that plays around their damage over time abilities and buffs the party a lot.
If you play gladiator-like classes to hit things with a stick and do damage, consider starting as a Lancer. If you’re not fussed about stick usage, consider a Pugilist. I can explain a bit more about these if you’d like.

grim pivot
#

alright thanks

solemn shard
#

Whats a fast way of getting from 48 to 49 I'm too low level to get the next story quest 😦

leaden ginkgo
#

duty roulette?

granite swan
#

or spam the highest level dungeon most ppl say

leaden ginkgo
#

that also works ^

quiet magnet
#

so when an mount you can buy on lodestone says (account wide) it can be used on multiple accounts like two accunts from crystal to primal?

wispy parcel
#

Account wide means all characters on one account

faint flare
#

Yee, goes to all youe characters on your account, past present and future

quiet magnet
#

time to get Fatter Cat

dull sparrow
#

i got a question: im trying to get the legendary medallions for the weapon. but im not sure which area i can get these in. on the event page it says check the yokai medallium for details, but what is that?

faint flare
#

Duty menu button > collection

#

The yokai medallion is there

#

Or just check the pinned messages here for a infographic

dull sparrow
#

oh thx

#

sry for that stupid question

tropic summit
#

...do you need to be lv80 to be able to turn in the lv80 Ishgard Restoration items?

raven sage
#

Yes

plain python
#

how many seals per hunt mark you get?

tropic summit
#

why are you allowed to craft them before 80 then? GWsetmyxPeepoCry

#

I spent hours gathering all the items for them only to find out I can't turn in a bunch of collectables

raven sage
#

I mean there are plenty of things you're allowed to craft at lower levels

#

It's just that the turn ins work by a block system and you can't go ahead of your current block

tropic summit
#

This feels so dumb

#

Yeah going in blocks makes perfect sense but allowing you to craft them without being able to turn-in is the nonsensical part

dull sparrow
#

how many legendary medallion for a wep?

tropic summit
#

When would you ever want to craft the lv80 collectables and not turn them in?

raven sage
#

Like I said, the crafting part works like every other part of crafting

#

It's the turn in part that's weird

tropic summit
#

Yeah

raven sage
#

Hopefully they change it next phase

#

@dull sparrow it's 5 for your first one and 10 for every weapon after

dull sparrow
#

@raven sage Thx.

vestal needle
#

why is it sometimes when i switch back to my previous job, all my keybinds gets reseted

#

Is there any way to save the icons on the hotbar?

unreal python
#

I completed the moonfire faire FATE, but it didnt count it for some reason :/

wintry chasm
#

Character config -> hotbar settings -> shared and tick what hotbars you want the skills to be shared between all jobs and what hotbars you want to job specific

#

Did you actually take part/use the fate unique actions?

granite swan
#

if you dont use both 1 and 2, it doesnt count

unreal python
#

Oof, at least i know now

wanton fossil
#

Im on spriggan queuing as a tank for dungeons and its taking forever >10min is there no demand for level 30-40 dungeons?

agile laurel
elder sinew
#

How far does matchmaking for dungeons/potd reach? Across NA/EU or restricted to datacenters?

atomic brook
#

stupid question but uh, how do i feed my chocobo the gyashl greens

leaden ginkgo
#

Cross data center only

granite swan
#

put it on your hotbar or use it from inventory

leaden ginkgo
#

So primal and aether can't play together, despite both being NA datacenters

elder sinew
#

So not even all of NA, just specific DC

#

kk

atomic brook
#

nvm

wintry chasm
#

so to be clear - that's pharos sirius?
@agile laurel Yes should be

agile laurel
#

alrighty

atomic brook
#

i was trying to use it while on the chocobo lol

agile laurel
#

just seemed uh. smaller on the inside

wintry chasm
#

Don't ride the chocobo

#

get off

agile laurel
wintry chasm
#

then use the greens

#

just seemed uh. smaller on the inside
Well yes imagine how long it'd take to scale that 1:1 scale

agile laurel
#

Speaking of things looking catastrophically different - is there any logic behind the loading screen illustrations of zones?

#

Cause they barely look similar at all - are they all concept arts?

quasi widget
#

yes

#

atleast most of them are

granite swan
#

Curious about something in the maintenance coming in 2 days ... what exactly does this mean?

  • Any duty recorder data recorded prior to this maintenance can no longer be replayed after this maintenance.
faint meadow
#

What's the min ilvl for the newest nier raid?

proud willow
#

there is an option to record a fight and then play it back, but it's only enabled for certain endgame fights

granite swan
#

Ah

proud willow
#

so if you record a fight today, it will be erased when maintenance happens

twilit arch
#

465 @faint meadow

faint meadow
#

Ah ok

#

Only need like, a piece or two and I can go in

granite swan
#

What rank in gc to sell stuff for seals?

twilit arch
#

granite swan
#

granite swan
#

Whats best way to get seals before sergent 2nd class?

leaden ginkgo
#

I keep hitting my cap on seals by just doing fates from the yokai event

granite swan
#

Ah, do fates give seals? ive not really done any fates yet lol

leaden ginkgo
#

yep I think it was like 200 per fate but they add up pretty quickly with the yokai stuff

granite swan
#

well crap i wish i knew that awhile ago, i been sturgglin for seals rofl

tidal yarrow
#

where could someone on free trial level 50 buy good gear?

remote lintel
#

mor dhona

#

if you beat ARR

tidal yarrow
#

lets say he does not have poetics

#

hes level 40 msq

remote lintel
#

then do msq

sage root
#

I'm Second Storm Lieutenant right now.. I'm not sure how I continue to rank up?

silent notch
#

Okay..i just saved the scion(whats left of them) am i close to getting my second mount?

remote lintel
#

not really

leaden ginkgo
#

@sage root you know the squadron missions thing

remote lintel
#

if you mean at HW

sage root
#

GC says there's no more ranks available

twilit arch
#

you need to unlock and raise up your squadrons to get 1st LT and Captain

sage root
#

I am unaware of the squadron missions thing. I vaguely remember seeing a mission for it I did, but I can't seem to figure out where to start that

leaden ginkgo
#

you have to complete the level 40 crystal recovery mission

twilit arch
#

1st LT requires atleast 1 squadron member at lvl 40, captain requires you to do 5 different dungeons with squadrons

quasi widget
#

you need to enter your squadron room

sage root
#

I think I have squadrons unlocked, just no idea how to get to them

quasi widget
#

should be next to where you can rank up

twilit arch
#

if you've unlocked squadrons already, the barracks room is right next to the gc npcs

faint flare
#

Enter the barracks

sage root
#

Ohh, okay. Thank you! I'll check it out

#

It was right in front of me the whole time 😄

tidal yarrow
#

is there gil limit on free trial

agile laurel
#

yes

limpid lantern
#

Whats the next big thing after shire gear ? Is that at lvl 70 ?

tidal yarrow
#

how much?

agile laurel
#

like 350k ain't it?

#

and @limpid lantern scaevan

faint flare
#

300k

#

Gil limit

agile laurel
#

it's not much but for the trial it's more than enough

leaden ginkgo
#

Scavean gear at level 70 @limpid lantern

limpid lantern
#

Thats also story locked right ?

faint flare
#

Yew

agile laurel
#

yup

faint flare
#

Gotta do base Stormblood before the vendors appear in rhalgars

limpid lantern
#

Any big upgrades before that ?

#

Sincw literally an hour ago i just unlocked the shire vendor xD

faint flare
#

Lv65 dungeon/story starts giving better than shire

tidal yarrow
#

my friend is still in ARR and on 200k, without mb you really cant spend in many things

#

i see tho thanks!

faint flare
#

You'll very easily hit thr gil cap on trial

granite swan
#

Think i missed it but, where do you see which Yokai gives which weapon stuff?

faint flare
#

Duty menu button > collection

#

Or check pins for the infographic

granite swan
#

Yeah its not showing which one gives which wep tho >.> since its blank lol

faint flare
#

When you go to buy weapon, they say...the infographic also has correlation and lists the weapons in the same order as the minions

granite swan
#

Ah i see, it tells you what medal you need :p

elder sinew
#

Hmm, how do you quickly switch an instance of a map?

foggy surge
#

is it worth to get anima weapons?

young fjord
#

If you think it looks cool

#

But in terms of gameplay, no

scree2 hows this mount called

#

elder sinew
#

Oh when it's Cross-world linkshell, is that cross NA/EU or still DC only?

little swift

Its from the qitari beast tribe@raven burrow . Requires gatherers

elder sinew

Ok, so everything's DC mostly

ah cool, thank you

viscid shadow
#

Hey, may I ask some payment question?

leaden ginkgo
#

sure

viscid shadow
#

If I buy an account upgrade (complete collector edition to be specific) but my lvl isn't lvl 60 yet, will my 30 day free trial be activated or until I'm lvl60?

proven bay
#

Do you get recruits for your squadron by completing entries in the challenge log?

proud willow
#

by upgrade, you mean going from the trial to owning the game? if so, your trial will end and your 30 days will start as soon as you apply the code

#

(or if you're on PS4, that happens immediately)

raven sage
#

@proven bay yes

proven bay
#

Is it random what recruits you get, or do you get stronger recruits by completing more difficult challenge logs?

viscid shadow
#

So If I just buy the game but didn't enter the code yet, I can still playing an free trial version right? @proud willow

proud willow
#

If you're not on Playstation, yes, exactly

raven sage
#

Yes it's random but there's an item you can use to get a guaranteed one

proven bay
#

What item is that?

proud willow
#

also you do not need to buy the Collectors' Edition unless you really want the extras that come with it

#

they are just cosmetic

raven sage
#

I think it's called a squadron recruitment manual?

twilit arch
#

that doesn't guarantee it

#

it just increases the chances

raven sage
#

Oh sorry

#

I should've checked first

proud willow
#

There are some recruits that will only show up from Gold Saucer challenge logs if I'm not mistaken

#

but they shouldn't be any stronger or weaker, just... unique looking

viscid shadow
#

Aight, I just saw the sale in the store so I think it's might be a good chance to upgrade.
Thanks for the help ;3

elder sinew
#

Worth it, got the complete edition for $30?

tidal yarrow
#

yes (?)

elfin edge
#

For the math boss in the lighthouse alliance raid, do people just heal through all the mistakes nowadays?

elder sinew
#

I was planning on waiting to get more skills to 60 before upgrading, but once i hit the 60 cap, had to go premium lol

agile laurel
#

@elfin edge it's possible to do yes, that or just sac them all and rez later

#

both are viable

elfin edge
#

Ah, okay; was wondering why there were so many Xs in my run but everyone survived (though there was a lot of frantic healing on my part). Thanks!

#

I guess it's like the skeletons in labyrinth

little swift
#

I dont see a reason not to do it right. It gives a damage up buff

For every one you do correct

blazing crest
#

Quick question. Where can i get eulmoran certificate of novelty?

#

Is this for the augmented neo-ishgardian gear?

If so you trade hq or nq pieces of neo-ish gear for them

viscid shadow
#

Complete Collector Edition Digital Upgrade

twilit arch
#

on the mogstation, under additional services

#

the digital upgrade though requires you to already own the appropriate content

viscid shadow
#

So I must have a character or something first right?

twilit arch
#

you have to own the base game and expansions that you want to get the digital upgrade for

haughty dagger
#

I am once again asking how to make this damn game launch properly... I just freshly installed my OS and subsequently the game and can't launch the game. This always happens but I always forget how to fix it

#

I launch through Steam and the launcher comes up, pretty sure it patched properly last night, I put in my acct name and password, the launcher accepts it and gives me the option to press Play, but then the game doesn't boot and Steam recognizes that the game isn't running after a few seconds

#

any ideas?

Hi! So I checked my missions, and I haven't completed "Treasures and Tribulations". I also haven't started it, because it sin't on my current missions. I went to H'loonh, and she won't give me the mission. What can I do? She doesn't even display the mission que

#

How does the hunt trains find so many monsters back to back like that?
@elder sinew there are online tools to track the availability of spawns and also to collaboratively report and track them

elder sinew
#

Ah

#

Are you using the trial or official version of the game @haughty dagger

nova umbra
#

so I'm working on my 2nd ARR relic wepaon, and I can't seem to find the "Up in Arms" quest to start the fate atma farming

elder sinew
#

I had trouble starting it up when I started too

haughty dagger
#

Official

#

@nova umbra @rain pawn if I had to guess it's because you're missing an obscure prereq somewhere

proven bay
#

Is it possible to toggle off headgear for retainers?

nova umbra
#

I mean, I've already done the quest before..

#

maybe I just need to equip my relic weapon and I can get atma?

proven bay
#

Or do I need to apply a glam to hide it?

gritty oracle

I've got a question about this macro. Will the milliseconds between line executions affect my raising efficiency much? Looking to tidy up my macro tab and condense all my rez macros into one.

/ac Raise
/ac Resurrection
/ac Ascend
/ac Verraise
/party <t>, return to life!
/micon Raise

/ac Raise
/ac Resurrection
/ac Ascend
/ac Verraise
/party <t>, return to life!
/micon Raise

@gritty oracle short answer is always "yes" but as you already pointed out it's milliseconds

simple shore
#

I think the more relevant question here is

#

Why would you need to condense your raise macros

gritty oracle
#

want to tidy up my macros tab. One line for doh, one for dol, one for healers and so on. It's just tidier to have one button instead of 4.

simple shore
#

With 200 macro slots and macros generally being bad to use for combat, i cant imagine actually ever consuming them all

little swift
#

Its going to have a higher chance of failing as well

simple shore
#

and i'm a filthy GCD macro user

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah I feel like that'

#

that's inefficient

little swift
#

Since its trying to cast 4 different things at once

elder sinew
#

I use it for multiple tank roles, just have all the tank enmity skills on 1 macro and slot it

little swift
#

Just keep them as 4 separate ones

#

Why tig? There's not need for that

normal tusk
#

I forget what's the command for copying the cross Hotbar and pasting it to another cross Hotbar

twilit arch
#

/hotbar copy Weaver 1 Carpenter 1

normal tusk
#

i see ty

twilit arch
#

replace wvr/crp with the appropriate job acroynm

#

can also do /hotbar copy ALC 1 current 1

haughty dagger
#

I use it for multiple tank roles, just have all the tank enmity skills on 1 macro and slot it
@elder sinew @little swift is correct in that it really doesn't matter all that much but this is really funny to me because I did this over a decade ago when main tanking in WoW lmao

weak lance
#

Found some antique helm etc in a dungeon, where to bring them?

gritty oracle
#

mor dhona

twilit arch
#

Kakalan in mor dhona

gritty oracle
#

go into house of splendors, take first right turn

elder sinew
#

I put the enmity icon in the unchangeable hotbar, since mostly play tank

gritty oracle
#

I think

weak lance
#

ty

normal tusk
#

I put in that command but it didn't work went through so it was a valid command but it didn't replace my cross hot bar

twilit arch
#

oh cross bar

little swift
#

Or alternatively just put your stance skill on that spot in an unshared bar

twilit arch
#

You need /chotbar instead of /hotbar

little swift
#

That macro is unnecessary

twilit arch
#

sorry my bad, i didn't see crossbar

normal tusk
#

i see ty

#

That's so much better than having to manually put my hotbars together for all my Crafters

elder sinew
#

Just playstyle, it's a one time use key per instance, might as well condense it

little swift
#

Plus stance on off is used a lot in raiding

haughty dagger
#

anyone wanna help me troubleshoot my launch/boot issues?

#

I launch the game through Steam, put in my acct name and password into the launcher, and press Play, and the game just doesn't run. Don't get an error message or anything

little swift
#

They might have a solution

haughty dagger
#

thanks, can do

spiral idol
#

The hotbar is getting overwhelming very quickly

#

Is there any guide in hotbar buttons?

Are you only able to put limit break on the hot bar while in a duty? I can’t seem to find it in my Actions and Abilities

haughty dagger
#

it's in General actions somewhere I'm p sure, it's not like a class based action

graceful rock
#

@halcyon glen sry i read it now, in this moment i’m trying lancer and then dragon job, but i wanted to try something else with the trial, even i think if i’ll start to play with the complete game i’ll pick samurai maybe, one question, like tank, the paladin is the most useful in stuff like raids? Btw ty

haughty dagger
#

also @elder sinew I think you might be overly worried about aggro generation. I think either at launch of this expac or maybe not long after they simplified aggro generation to the point where you more or less just need to ensure you're in tank stance and hitting all available targets. At that point only other tanks are going to be able to pull off of you

@graceful rock all of the tank jobs are main tank viable and pretty much every combination of tanks is workable

#

in terms of advanced raiding they all have small niches about what they're best at and what they might struggle with but you can always work around them

rotund sable
#

PLD is probably the most versatile tank, just don't go around spamming clemency because you're under 90% your healer will slap you

haughty dagger
#

long story short play the tank job you like the most and once you get to the point you can raid it won't matter much which one it is

graceful rock
#

@haughty dagger ty man, but now i started with the lancer, on the same char can i try another job like the paladin or a mage, or i have to create a new char?

haughty dagger
#

you must be very new

rotund sable
#

At level 15 you can

haughty dagger
#

you can level every job on one character and freely switch

tidal osprey
#

does lowering your ilvl for alliance roulettes help?

haughty dagger
#

help in what way?

graceful rock
#

@haughty dagger yeah i’m new, i started to play at the free trial this morning ahaha

tidal osprey
#

getting the lower faster lvl raids

rotund sable
#

There are some ways to get better scaling but it's ally roullete it's not that important

little swift
#

It reduces the pool of available alliance raids

tidal osprey
#

ok

haughty dagger
#

is that dependent on ilvl or Job level?

little swift
#

So if you only want the crystal tower stuff you drop below ilvl130

#

Its ilvl

haughty dagger
#

wow I wish I knew that like 4 years ago

little swift
#

I think this is a stupid tactic because it makes it harder for new players to try other content

haughty dagger
#

it's selfish

little swift
#

But that's largely irrelevant

haughty dagger
#

but sometimes we deserve to be a little selfish

#

@haughty dagger yeah i’m new, i started to play at the free trial this morning ahaha
@graceful rock cool! Enjoy the game, as someone else alluded to if you follow the MSQ you will eventually be shown how to unlock other classes and you'll get a tutorial on how to switch. It's literally as simple as equipping a different main hand weapon

#

even for the Trial version you can level all jobs up to level 60 now I believe

unique socket
#

Hello! Quick question, is there another guide besides Larryzaur to pick a job?

graceful rock
#

@haughty dagger ty for the infos

wintry chasm
#

I'm not aware of another job showcase video really where it talks about how they play @unique socket

#

What's the issue?

haughty dagger
#

Hello! Quick question, is there another guide besides Larryzaur to pick a job?
@unique socket what's your experience level with MMOs/FFXIV? If you're a longtime MMO player then I would recommend looking up in depth class videos on youtube

#

if you're new to MMOs or even just new to FFXIV I recommend not worrying about it and try as many classes as you can until you find one you like

leaden ginkgo
#

larrys guides are pretty nice although memey

unique socket
#

Never been a hardcore mmo player, but it’s not first one

leaden ginkgo
#

if you find one that looked good he has vids on specific classes too

unique socket
#

And to memey for me, that’s the problem

crimson crystal
#

Definitely choose a class that looks fun to you. There isn't really a "meta" in this game

wintry chasm
#

It is memey but it's still a good enough first impressions video

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah every class is viable

agile laurel
#

memes or no, larry's vid tells what it needs to tell

wintry chasm
#

^

leaden ginkgo
#

so at the end of the day whatever you find that sounds fun should suffice

wintry chasm
#

Just about anyway

unique socket
#

Ok, gonna try to stomach it then

#

Thanks!

wintry chasm
#

You get used to Larry

#

And you can always come back here if you have questions afterwards

haughty dagger
#

you can level as many jobs as you like and switch totally freely

#

not to mention (maybe @graceful rock will be interested in this too) every job you level that has a level lower than your highest level job gets a significant XP boost (called Armory Bonus). I think it's 50%

wintry chasm
#

100% up to level 70

#

50% 71-80

twilit arch
#

100% to 69, 50% for 70-80

haughty dagger
#

damn

#

so if you level up a job to cap and go through the story with it and decide precisely at the moment you're done the story that you hate that job and never want to play it again that time was far from wasted

#

not to mention you have access to side content that is good for leveling and other stuff like equipment shops

granite swan
#

How do i sell dungeon loot to my GC? It says talk to Quartermaster, but she immediately opens the buy menu, no option for selling?

leaden ginkgo
#

is there an expert delivery option

granite swan
#

Nevermind, i talk to the officer, not quartermaster apparently

haughty dagger
#

turning in gear is called Expert Delivery and if you don't see it, it's because you need to be a higher rank

granite swan
#

Nah, the help thing just tells you the wrong npc >.<

remote lintel
#

it shouldnt

new to game . any advicce? my launcher keeps failing the download. is this normal

low swallow
#

is there a collectable trader in the crystairum they will give you silver scripts?

#

or only eulmore

oak smelt
#

@leaden ginkgo could be an issue with your internet? afaik the launcher doesnt have a pause option if your connection cuts out even for a bit.

leaden ginkgo
#

interesting

#

what known bugs should i expect of this game

#

the most common ones on top

oak smelt
#

ive been playing for about a month and havent found any so far

leaden ginkgo
#

that's surprising to hear

marble drift
#

well the bee's in FFXIV are fatal because they all seem to know a move called "final sting" which is essentially a kamikaze attack

#

hur hur.

#

"bugs"

faint flare
#

Most bugs are quickly fixed that do appear are usually quickly fixed

leaden ginkgo
#

i take it ur the joker

#

or one of the jokers in this discord

marble drift
#

Happy to be of service.

leaden ginkgo
#

well that's good to hear

#

@faint flare

marble drift
#

but Vinyl is right. Its good big of a team to let bugs get through like that

proven bay
#

Are all tribe daily quests the same?

faint flare
#

Plus patch notes have a "known issues" sections for problems that managed to sneak through

#

Which get patched up over time

oak smelt
#

Should i research the boss fight before going in? Especially as a tank?

Dunno, some folk might consider it spoilers for the fight but on the other hand its more responsible esp. for harder fights so you dont get the party wiped in an essential role like healer or tank.
For reference just had the moogle fight and a few players including myself didnt realise the first time around that youre supposed to kill the little moogles in order first before getting the tank, the dps guys focussed the tank and we got wiped twice before everyone figured it out.

What do you guys do?

faint flare
#

You dont need to look up stuff for normal content

marble drift
#

its a per player thing anyway

leaden ginkgo
#

cev you don't need to but you can

marble drift
#

some people don't care what happens or what others think of them

#

and actively like going in blind

leaden ginkgo
#

most of the time people are new / understanding so you'll all be going in blind

faint flare
#

Normal content is usually quick to figure out majority of time or someone tells you after a wipe

marble drift
#

some are the opposite. others still take half measures

#

I'll go in blind to normals and alliance raids for luls

#

but savage or ex? nah fam. guide first where possible

#

Im too much of a smoothbrain to manually figure out some of these bullshit savage mechanics

leaden ginkgo
#

so this will be a weird question but will there be children npcs in game

proven bay
#

As a tank I do research on bossfights beforehand just so I know how to best cater to my team. Doesn't matter what level of content it is. For any other classes I would argue it's pretty insignificant. You can if you want to, but it's less necessary

remote lintel
#

yes @leaden ginkgo

oak smelt
#

Yeah its just for normal MSQ stuff.
Thats thats good to know. I didnt want to spoil myself but would have checked stuff if it was expected.

marble drift
#

If you asked a question you'll need to repeat it because Kael did some moderator stuff.

winged solar
#

how can I get more of this currency?

marble drift
#

Dungeons

remote lintel
#

doing lvl 50 content

marble drift
#

50+

oak smelt
#

lvl 50+ dungeons

winged solar
#

uhh i need 2335 of it

oak smelt
#

wochu wanna buy

marble drift
#

lemme guess. Anima/Zodiac weapons?

winged solar
#

ironworks set

remote lintel
#

you dont need a full ironworks set

twilit arch
#

if its your first job, you do not need a full set

marble drift
#

Grab a weapon when you can but everything else is optional

twilit arch
#

just buy what pieces you can and use the gear given to you from the main scenario quest

green raft
#

you know ive been wondering, since you can no longer buy unaugmented poetics gear what do you even use for the second ring

faint flare
#

Weapon. Chest and legs are most important, though accessories sre good idea since the game doesn't really give accessories much prior to 50

twilit arch
#

For 50, just kind of have to make due with whatever ya got

marble drift
#

the best dungeon one you can get*?

twilit arch
#

60/70 you can by a second ring from the eikonic or dai-ryumyaku poetic gear sets

faint flare
#

Or just crafted if you wanna sink gil

green raft
#

yeah i guess

#

some jobs i dont rly like so i only do roulettes lol

marble drift
#

honestly at 50 you can just get to ishguard and get some vendor ring for a few levels

#

before you go into the Heavensward leveling dungeons

green raft
#

i still learn how to play but i aint playing it more than those daily roulettes

remote lintel
#

dont buy vendor gear

winged solar
#

i had subtitles after the ultimate weapon quest

#

does it mean im done with arr?

slate arrow
#

yes

winged solar
#

bc some guy there told me

#

that there is

faint flare
#

Only the base story

winged solar
#

70-80 quests after

slate arrow
#

but now you're in the patches so not yet

faint flare
#

Got more to go to get to heavensward

slate arrow
#

You're done with ARR 2.0

marble drift
#

you're on 2.X content

winged solar
#

guess im not gonna worry about the gear just yet

#

before i'm done with arr

marble drift
#

yeah you don't need it for a while.

fringe lotus
#

the reset timer, does that mean my poetics are gonna go to 0 when it ends?

marble drift
#

you'll get some i90 pieces as part of the msq soonish

#

No

remote lintel
#

thats the weekly reset

marble drift
#

that timer is for the Weekly currency you earn at cap

#

not for poetics

faint flare
#

Reset is for allegory to let you get more

marble drift
#

poetics are eternal

fringe lotus
#

ahhh ight

winged solar
#

maybe i should do "+" quests after im done with arr content

#

i've heard that those quests give u nice things

#

you're gonna need soon or sooner

remote lintel
#

they unlock content

winged solar
#

such as?

leaden ginkgo
remote lintel
#

raids, trials, beast tribes

oak smelt
#

could be anything. more dungeons, more content in the game.

#

you should do the + quests

marble drift
#

That looks like a Battle levequests

oak smelt
#

ignore the other side quests if you want. you can use those later for leveling other roles

marble drift
#

and yes they've always been awful @leaden ginkgo

winged solar
#

so what is the last ARR quest's name?

leaden ginkgo
#

oh wtf

marble drift
#

Don't do battle leves

#

they're garbage

leaden ginkgo
#

so how do I level my arcanist from 10-30 o.o

remote lintel
#

the ultimate weapon

#

for base arr

faint flare
#

Hunting logs

#

And dungeons

marble drift
#

palace of the dead/hunting logs/dungeons

faint flare
#

And palace of the dead

#

And fates if you're bored in que

#

If you can make it to any with the event

lyric bear
#

guys sry if this question is dumb, but what does this mean? english is not my main language and i can't find a meaning to that

remote lintel
#

can also be used as a kind of transition word

#

its an old word

lyric bear
#

oh thx

#

i searched it with meaning but on my language it means wings and couldn't find a proper answer

slate arrow
#

Like

"Alas, it's a shame (blah blah blah)"

lyric bear
#

okay thx guys ^^

vivid thorn
#

which one do you recommend to get up to speed for SB/ShB MSQ, Sephirot normal or EX?

marble drift
#

I don't understand the question

#

"get up to speed"?

#

are you trying to level? or catch up on story?

wintry chasm
#

^

marble drift
#

or something entirely different?

remote lintel
#

if youre trying to level, doing trials is not the way to go

slate arrow
#

We've already told you the answer.

#

Please stop asking for what extreme trials to do to "prepare"

empty pecan
#

So i just started the game and i can join crafter guilds now, can i join them all or do i only get to join so many?

slate arrow
#

You should do them all.

faint flare
#

Can do them all

#

And should

#

Crafting and gathering is one big package

empty pecan
#

Okay thank you

slate arrow
#

All crafters except Culinarian make materials for other crafters.

faint flare
#

Unless you wanna buy stuff

wintry chasm
#

Though I wouldn't start it on the free trial

slate arrow
#

Gathering isn't as needed since vendors sell leveling mateirals up to level 70 now

#

but it's still a bit more pricy compared to gathering everything yourself

marble drift
#

Culinarian makes things for crafters however

wintry chasm
#

Issue with crafting on free trial is you can't sell stuff you made for money, you have very limited inventory space, and some other reasons

marble drift
#

as high end crafters use food to increase thier stats for crafts of which of course is made by a culanarian

#

god im trash at spelling

#

.<

empty pecan
#

No down side to joining them on the starter edition tho right?

faint flare
#

Thats not the only thing pepega

marble drift
#

love you too Vinyl

faint flare
#

If you own the game then no downsides

wintry chasm
#

Yeah because then you have all your inventory space and it's all fun

faint flare
#

Can sell the stuff you make

#

And hold the money

ionic anvil
#

Why doesn't sentinel work in Haukke Manor? How am I supposed to pull without it? I keep getting dismissed because of how horrible I am at tanking without it 😕

slate arrow
#

!action sentinel

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Sentinel** : lvl 38 GLA PLD (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces damage taken by 30%.
Duration: 15s

slate arrow
#

because you're synced to under level 38

faint flare
#

You have other defensive cooldowns

#

Like arms length, rampart and reprisal

ionic anvil
#

Okay. Thanks for the help 😊

slate arrow
#

Shelltron should be unlocked at haukke manor

faint flare
#

Aka all thw role action defensives

haughty dagger
#

do you have trouble staying alive during normal pulls? it shouldn't be all that hard to keep you healed in haukke

slate arrow
#

What's your item level?

#

You should be at 30+ by now

remote lintel
#

if you use like 0 defensive cds then yes youll struggle

slate arrow
#

Hopefully closer to 40

ionic anvil
#

I'm at 38

slate arrow
#

Item level?

vivid thorn
#

I have been able to tank Haukke Manor without it, but is the hard version, well, harder?

slate arrow
#

The number on your character portrait in your equip screen

haughty dagger
#

the other damage mitigation cooldowns should be more than enough

marble drift
#

"hard" versions of dungeons

#

just mean "leveled up"

slate arrow
#

no, Haukke manor is closer to a remix of the normal dungeon scaled to level 50

haughty dagger
#

yeah, all the hard dungeons are basically new dungeons

#

different layout and bosses and such

vivid thorn
#

Copperbell Mines hard is almost identical mechanically

haughty dagger
#

but the bosses are definitely different

tidal yarrow
#

where can i repair my gear with low congestion of players? if i try at limsa i dc

vivid thorn
#

it's not like with trials

marble drift
#

teleport to summerford farms instead of limsa

#

its right outside and you'll find a repair merchant there

vivid thorn
#

I expected hard dungeons to be more like the difference between a normal trial and an EX one (maybe somewhat less big)

faint flare
#

Nah

#

The hard tag literally means nothing

#

Just scaled up to that level and different bosses and routes

#

It could literally be called anything else

haughty dagger
#

yeah they're more like just an excuse to go back to that location and have a new little side story

faint flare
#

Its only named similarly cause it takes place in the same location as another dungeon

haughty dagger
#

they're fun

faint flare
#

They could just name change it and it wouldt mean anything

marble drift
#

the tags that mean something are Extreme for trials or Savage for raids (also Ultimate but you're not gonna unlock that on "accident")

agile laurel
#

Copperbell Mines 2 would be a better name than hm

vivid thorn
#

that something else would likely be less misleading

marble drift
#

Copperbell 2, Electric Boogaloo

faint flare
#

Probably but thats the convention they've gone with

haughty dagger
#

for Trials and Raids and such the mechanics are similar for Hard/Extreme or Savage but greatly expanded upon

vivid thorn
#

nowhere is this more misleading than in LCA

haughty dagger
#

LCA?

vivid thorn
#

Lost City of Amdapor

slate arrow
#

:)

haughty dagger
#

oh I can barely remember which one that is so yeah

#

lol

vivid thorn
#

I ran both versions of LCA and the normal is much harder than the hard

elder sinew
#

Or upgrade it

marble drift
#

level up your fisher

wintry chasm
#

Level up in that class

marble drift
#

on your character

elder sinew
#

Ah lol

marble drift
#

retainers can not outlevel you

wintry chasm
#

It's based on your level on that class

leaden ginkgo
#

hi

#

where's the best server for dallas players?

vivid thorn
#

so how hard is Amdapor Keep, Sirius, or Tam-Tara hard?

marble drift
#

anything on the NA datacenters

leaden ginkgo
#

is it just any under north

marble drift
#

they're all located in the same place

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

#

ty

marble drift
#

it makes no difference

#

just don't pick EU or JP 🤷‍♂️

faint flare
#

Not really...they're just dungeons and dont do toooo much damage

#

As long as you heal now and then its fine

vivid thorn
#

to a tank*

#

I may wish to tank these instead

remote lintel
#

role doesnt make anything more difficult

faint flare
#

Rotate cooldowns and they don't really hurt

#

Though pharos sirius first boss is super annoying

vivid thorn
#

I am more concerned about mechanics than damage intake

faint flare
#

Dumb crystal shit

remote lintel
#

then watch a video

versed bridge
#

I'm planning to farm atmas while doing the yokai watch event. Do I have to unlock the atma step for all classes (I want the relic for) and swap classes very time I get an atma (are they class specific)? Or can I farm multiple atmas on one class?

marble drift
#

or go in as not a tank

empty pecan
#

Is the free version any different from the paid version until after heavensward on ps4? I didnt buy the game but i can still use market boards and stuff which as i understand is a p2p thing.

marble drift
#

No Hiball

#

just have a weapon of the correct stage on

#

and you get atmas

faint flare
#

The starter edition just removes trial limitations

marble drift
#

you can farm infinite atmas as long as you have the weapon on

faint flare
#

Otherwise there's no difference

versed bridge
#

Awesome

vivid thorn
#

with i110 I could probably get into it without annoying healers

remote lintel
#

@empty pecan did you receive the base game for free

empty pecan
#

Yeah i think so

remote lintel
#

then youre not a trial account

faint flare
#

Then you're paying

marble drift
#

gw Emu.

empty pecan
#

Okay i get it now thank you. Was just a little confused with all the different versions.

thats not a thing

No you cant.

Yes to whoever is willing to hold my hand every

Single. Step of the way

I appreciate it

gritty oracle
remote lintel
#

nothing on character creation matters except starting class

leaden ginkgo
#

Which do you suggest I pick

remote lintel
#

whichever one you like more

leaden ginkgo
#

W/ regards to getting fast xo lol if it matters early at that point

remote lintel
#

you cant level grind to get to content

#

all content is locked behind doing the story

marble drift
#

even your starting class doesn't matter as you can change after a point

#

and re-level

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmm ok

#

So even patron deity doesn't matter

twilit arch
#

no

simple shore
#

Literally nothing on character creation "matters"

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

twilit arch
#

just rp fluff

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

#

For beginners, which mage class is the most self sustaining

simple shore
#

Like the most mattering thing is race technically? But its so insignificant. Like, the difference of like 80-100 max HP at level 80 (when we're all sporting 100k average and 170k on tanks)

leaden ginkgo
#

I want to be a healer

#

But I'm alone and nobody to heal

remote lintel
#

then be a conjurer

leaden ginkgo
#

I guess I'll just heal this turtle here

simple shore
#

Okay, so, first and foremost in case you have pre-judgement based on other MMO's

#

Healers in FF14 are also DPS

#

they are expected to DPS, and have DPS skills

leaden ginkgo
#

Wow cool

simple shore
#

There is no such thing as a "job that is bad at solo'ing"

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes last ff game I played was ff7 in d playstationz

simple shore
#

at least insofar as basic content

leaden ginkgo
#

Ooh ok

#

Are there vampires in this game

remote lintel
#

no

simple shore
#

Not exactly

#

The subject is broached in the Red Mage questline, actually.

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmmm

simple shore
#

but not in the traditional "vampire" sense

Ok I'm between being an Archer and the conjurer

remote lintel
#

do you want to be a healer or do you want to be a dps

leaden ginkgo
#

Conjurer has long staff I like

#

I want to be healer please

#

With extra Mana on top

faint flare
#

White mage basically has infinite mana

#

With proper use of tools

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I become this person

remote lintel
#

be conjurer

faint flare
#

Conjuerer goes into white mage

leaden ginkgo
#

Ooooo

faint flare
#

Its a advancement

leaden ginkgo
#

Interesting

#

Ok so I'm a huge white elf w/ a huge staff w/ no clothes on for some reason

#

My adventure begins today

#

I hope to run into u guys soon

remote lintel
#

probably not depending on what world you pick

slate arrow
#

ditto

prisma nymph
#

Remember to Dps as healer when in groups

leaden ginkgo
#

How long will it take ideally til I become white mage

faint flare
#

Lv30

remote lintel
#

and need to progress the story

#

and do your class quests

faint flare
#

And story and class questswill naturally get you to 30

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

#

IRL time what r we looking at herr

fleet moth
#

Are the coins from copied factory unlocked now? i know the gear is unlocked but are the coins still one per week?

remote lintel
#

coins have been unlocked for a while

twilit arch
#

coins have been unlocked since 5.2

fleet moth
#

ah oh cool just double checking ^^ thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

Is anyone in Aether

normal nova
#

what raid jobs are most in demand

leaden ginkgo
#

Dunno if I'm saying that right

faint flare
#

People who play their jobs well are in demand

simple shore
#

I would say i see statics recruiting DPS more often than Tanks or Healers lately, but that's purely anecdotal.

marble drift
#

even then. They'll take good players over bad ones given the chance

#

so just excel at what you do and you'll get invites

leaden ginkgo
#

Naturally people lean towards success

thorn mantle
#

what is the best way to obtain the weapons to repair the lvl50 relic weapon?

normal nova
#

well whats the definition of good, DPS metrics, clears, politeness?

faint flare
#

All the above

simple shore
#

Definitely not the last one

#

lol

normal nova
#

ok

faint flare
#

Well good attitude

#

Dont be a dick

simple shore
#

Yeah, but the nice person who greyparses has no chance. The asshole who orange parses does. Not all factors are equal.

prisma nymph
#

ARR relic is crafting or something

#

Buy if off the market board or shout for a crafter

faint flare
#

I think they put the damaged stuff in a vendor somewhere

#

Remember seeing that in patch notes

twilit arch
#

that was only for leveling dungeon stuff

marble drift
#

100% depends on the group Bal

#

I couldn't give 2 fucks if you're the best dps in the world. if you're a dick then go be a dick somewhere else.

thorn mantle
#

Buy if off the market board or shout for a crafter
@prisma nymph alright

#

thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmmm interesting

#

Can conjurer's be DPS too?

true wyvern
#

so how do I rank up my Chocobo?

faint flare
#

They dps when not healing

#

But you are a healer

#

There's no dual roles

#

You are going to have to heal

leaden ginkgo
#

Aww man no fluid class system

true wyvern
#

WHM best class ever

leaden ginkgo
#

Hehe got that from cyberpunk ads

faint flare
#

Well you can be every job in the game

#

But that job is 1 role and all roles dps

true wyvern
#

just use your Chocobo as a fighter when you get one

#

thats how I role

#

roll

prisma nymph
#

Focus on keeping the tank alive and Dps when possible. It helps if you on a mouse bind it so that when you do shift+scroll thru your party

#

That way you can switch between party and enemies easier

faint flare
#

Or use the F keys

short sparrow
#

When levelling solo as a caster, how to avoid being interrupted while casting?

faint flare
#

To target that slot

prisma nymph
#

Surecast

manic sentinel
#

there's no fastest way to obtain Slithersand than farming scrips right?

faint flare
#

You dont get interrupted from attacks often unless its a lot of damage

short sparrow
#

Is that a job ability @prisma nymph

leaden ginkgo
#

daily beast tribes can buy 3 slithersand per day

faint flare
#

Role ability

prisma nymph
#

Role ability, it’s in a diff menu within powers

short sparrow
#

Ahh level 44. I may be a while before I have that. 👀

manic sentinel
#

||the dwarf beast tribes? || @leaden ginkgo

prisma nymph
#

Nah should be there already I think

leaden ginkgo
#

yep friede

#

you can buy 1 slithersand for one of their tokens

manic sentinel
#

ooh purfect, tyvm!

#

500 yellows is a lot of a farm, and I need like 20+

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah the grind becomes alot tbh so it's nice to have the tribe as a side thing

#

and you get 6 on the day you level up your reputation

manic sentinel
#

I do them daily but I recently wanted to move from facet gears to the new ones so :p

short sparrow
#

@prisma nymph it's there, sure, and I can see it, but it won't unlock while my ACN is level 13.

manic sentinel
#

and I need a lot of stuff notlikegoob

prisma nymph
#

Oh yeah some of those don’t until you level up

#

Low level acn should focus on applying dots, let carbuncle some damage and move out of aoes when needed

dire saffron
#

at what level can you visit weddings

twilit arch
#

1 technically

#

start in gridania

dire saffron
#

ok poggers

short sparrow
#

Thank you for the tips.

twilit arch
#

have someone ferry to you the chapel

tidal yarrow
#

when there will be a new patch?

leaden ginkgo
#

4 ish weeks i think

faint flare
#

5.31 in a few weeks, 5.35 in about a month...5.4 in like 3months+

#

Typically

#

If there's no delays

tidal yarrow
plush perch
#

oh so this event is like 4 weeks long?

remote lintel
#

which event

leaden ginkgo
#

the event is like 3 months long

#

the yokai thing

plush perch
#

the yokai one

faint flare
#

No thats until 5.4

remote lintel
#

like 3 months

plush perch
#

oh woops i meant like 4 month

faint flare
#

So 3 months

#

Minimum

obsidian patio
#

Yeah Yokai is going to be here for a while so there’s no need to rush it

#

Just get a couple medals each day

#

I think you need like 1.2 a day at minimum assuming 5.4 releases at no delays?

magic light
#

could my third ta not hold any ongoing combos? or do i need to finish a combo to properly fit 8 gcds into the third ta?

marble drift
#

you must've clipped your weaves between Shadow Fang and Hyosho

#

Assassinate has always been ass

faint flare
#

^

marble drift
#

but really you should take that to the Balance

#

they'd probably know

faint flare
#

Double weave with assassinate basically will clip you

marble drift
#

or at least weaving with it second*

humble maple
#

Can you get the Celestial Kimono Remnant from Tsuku through desynthesis of the weapons? I thought that was standard, but it's at least not listed on gamerscape and a friend of mine says you can't 🤔

marble drift
#

I've personally never heard of them being availble from the weapon

#

Desynthing a crafted one may rarely give you the material back but the regular weapons no?

twilit arch
#

you can

#

its just very low

humble maple
#

i mean, it works for suzaku and hades etc

#

so I wouldn't know why it should be otherwise for tsuku

faint flare
#

Probably not updated on the site

twilit arch
#

Tbh gamerescape isn't always up to date on desynth

sly willow
#

hey lil question. is it possible to transfer a character from one data center to another one?

humble maple
#

yeah i kinda figured 🤔 thanks for confirming!

faint flare
#

Yes izzy

#

Home world transfer

sly willow
#

alright thanks for the answer :3

steep cargo
#

what do I have to do to unlock the option to join the rogue guild?

twilit arch
#

you need to complete your lvl 10 class quest, and if you didn't start in limsa as either marauder or arcanist, you need to get to the lvl 15 main scenario quest where it gives you airship access

steep cargo
#

oh okay gotcha yeah i didnt do the level 10 i kinda rushed for the airship

worldly dove
#

Do you guys have any good home world suggestions for NA(Crystal)? Im currently on Brynhildr, but it doesn't seem all that social. Don't get me wrong there are a TON of people on but most people are just kinda doing their own thing

#

Or should I just join an FC on Bryn?

leaden ginkgo
#

erm balmung is pretty social but also lots of roleplay :/

twilit arch
#

i would suggest joining a free company tbh

#

most social interactions are going to be within a free company, or in linkshells

worldly dove
#

Any Bryn suggestions for FC's then? I joined the Bryn "Hub" discord and no one was there.

#

I looked up the FC's on the SE page, but I have no clue how to actually join them

tired tapir
#

I can't seem to pick up 'Minstrel from Another Mother' quest from the Minstreling Wanderer. I've completed MSQ and done the normal version of the trial. I've searched in completed quests and it doesn't show. I can't see it in my current quests either

vestal shard
#

is anyone online right now to invite me and a friend to a party? we are both on the trial version?

twilit arch
#

its not an actual "quest". its simply talk to the minstrel, that's it. thats why there's no completed quest @tired tapir

marble drift
#

Might wanna specify a server there Colt. People can world transfer but its easier if they don't have to

tired tapir
grim pivot
#

How fast and complicated does the Dancer get at 80?

vestal shard
#

oh, my bad. we are both on ultros

stray bronze
#

Hey guys, new player here. Can anyone suggest me an EU server with a semi causal raiding scene?

twilit arch
#

"High-end duty"

stray bronze
#

Hey guys, new player here. Can anyone suggest me an EU server with a semi causal raiding scene?

twilit arch
#

Look in the High-end duty section

dusty summit
#

select the "high-end duty" tab at the top

marble drift
#

Any EU server Zak

twilit arch
#

since Seat of Sacrifice Extreme is current extreme

marble drift
#

Raid groups are hosted by Data center

#

and they all have a raiding scene basically

tired tapir
#

Oh right, after selecting High-end Duty I needed to also change it to trials instead of raids. Okay thanks

stray bronze
#

Oh cool. Thanks, I'll just pick a random one then.

marble drift
#

if this is your first character I would go with the preferred server

#

for the xp boost

stray bronze
#

Yeah it's my "first" ever char, will do that. Used to be one of the first beta testers for ARR but I never actually played the game lol.

#

Real life hit hard.

marble drift
#

well you came back at a good time. They only this patch trimmed some of the new player experiance down to cut out a bunch of filler

#

Less quantity, more quality

tacit crow
#

Any idea when the "World is not accepting any more new characters" goes away from those Exp bonus worlds

remote lintel
#

when people get off the game

marble drift
#

so different times depending on server

#

for JP servers its right now

stray bronze
#

Oh well that's very nice to hear Silver.

tacit crow
#

goodie, so i dont need to wait for any maintenances

marble drift
#

because its super early in the morning

#

but not for American data centers as its sometime in the afternoon

#

depending on coast

tacit crow
#

imma EU, its 23:30 atm

marble drift
#

I'd give it a few more hours if you're willing to accept the loss of a little sleep

#

and you should get in just fine

remote lintel
#

EU goes to sleep early

tacit crow
#

probably will just go sleep and i usually wake up early

vestal shard
#

can someone on the ultros server invite me to the mentor/new player chat system?

solemn shard
#

Why is the lightning hair style so low res? D:

#

😢

leaden ginkgo
#

if you transfer from a non pref world to pref world and have multiple classes level 80, do you still get the xp boost for classes below 70?

twilit arch
#

no

#

road to 70 is only for newly created characters on a preferred world

leaden ginkgo
#

ohh

#

if that's the case, how should I decide which server to transfer to :o

remote lintel
#

if you have friends there?

faint flare
#

Ones with friends

leaden ginkgo
#

im switching from aether to crystal but I don't have any crystal friends so idk

faint flare
#

Then go wherever

leaden ginkgo
#

true

oblique delta
#

Weird question, is it a bug that the Vierra hairstyles are stiff as hell ? like the hair barely moves

remote lintel
#

no

solid edge
#

hey i'm a new player just asking if i can play as a viera?

remote lintel
#

you need to own shadowbringers

solid edge
#

ohhh

#

if i buy shadowbringers will i still get the free trail?

remote lintel
#

no because its dlc which means you need to the base game

#

can't just buy dlc without a base game

solid edge
#

oh rn i'm just trying to avoid paying subscription but i dont mind buy base game and dlc

remote lintel
#

buying the base game means youll need to pay sub

faint flare
#

Well cant avoid the sub

#

If you buy

#

Once you buy you're on the clock

solid edge
#

alright thanks much for answering!

leaden ginkgo
#

you get a one month free period but yeah like they said

remote lintel
#

you can pick another race on the free trial and get a fantasia for beating the base game

#

and then buy the game and dlc later and fantasia into a viera

leaden ginkgo
#

that's a good idea

Hello guys, newbie here.
Just started to play the game coz heard a lot of positive feedback. Until now Im on trial version.
So have few questions:

  1. Im Eu, so what side and server better to choose? I'd prefer more populated. What is the name of such ones?
  2. I created Pal but for first my dungeon ive waited ~5 mins for a healer. Does this mean that healers are in more deficit than tanks? Who is less popular and more needed?
  3. What drives me crazy is Map. Its awful difficult to understand where to run for a quest if it locates on other continent (i guess?). For example I spent 2 hours to understand where to fly and go by boat for (something) Envoy quest line. (For 1st dungeon). Maybe i missing something and there is better way to navigate? I even hardly can understand in what region were located npcs in first town.
  4. Is it good idea to play on ps4 at all?
  5. Is it possible to move camera lock more away from character? I feel its kinda close and in mass fights (local map events (dont remember how they called, sorry)) i cant understand what happens around me coz can see only 2-3 mobs filled my screen.

Thats all for now, hehe..
Thanks for your attention and good luck :)

solid edge
#

thanks for the idea! really appreciate it

#

how do you bring up job guides again?

leaden ginkgo
#

job guides?

remote lintel
#
  1. doesnt matter
  2. 5 minutes is short and in my experience healers have faster queues than tanks, but both tanks and healers have shorter queues than dps
  3. use your big square map, not compass, and you can click your quest in the quest list to see where to go
  4. platform doesnt matter
  5. scroll out to move camera out (on controller its left bumper + move right stick back)
    @minor oak
wintry chasm
#

You mean like....

#

!faq RDMguide

wheat wasp
#

yes

wintry chasm
#

because that's just !faq <job abbreviation>guide

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah healer deficit most, then its tanks

solemn shard
faint flare
#

Pretty sure that's custom to them

solemn shard
minor oak
#

@remote lintel thank you. But why server doesnt matter? I read that only raids were cross servered, not other stuff

faint flare
#

World visit

#

Changed that

remote lintel
#

because matchmaking is done across the entire data center

#

and you can visit other worlds
