anyone on siren have the chocobo racing helmet? I'd like to use "try on" to see how it looks with a glamour set i have and see if i want to get it
leaden ginkgo
Does nobody know
marble drift
easiest way would be to hit 50 to unlock flying
to catch up to the fate farmers
the yokai event is here for a few months at the least. theres no rush
leaden ginkgo
Got it thanks
karmic niche
DRK start at lvl 30?
little swift
Yes but requires a job at 50+ to unlock since you have to be physically inside the first city of heavensward to unlock
karmic niche
yeah
elder sinew
If just starting to grab lvl 80 gear, piecemeal. Which gear items is best to get Crystarium (490) first vs Deepshadow (ilvl 460)
Assuming chest/legs with 490?
left moth
then would go with chest or leg. if wanting filler fast fill with 460 and farm eden for 480
elder sinew
K, accessories get last?
little swift
Other 490 options include trading neo-ishgardian pieces to augmrnted ones
And thr nier raid second floor
left moth
once left side is fulled and going for accessories it's a matter of replacing whatever is lowest item level when you can
raw solstice
correct
left moth
since it'sa an end hub nope (to encourage being in crystarium or another main city)
raw solstice
they generally make it a point to not have a marketboard in an endgame area where you buy tome stuff from
to ssort of diversify people being in endgame areas a bit
elder sinew
Hmm
raw solstice
been that way all since ARR, probably will continue that trend

I don't know if this is the right place, but i am in StormBlood and just reached|| The Azim Steppe|| but as soon as i entered my screen has been stuck loading. I've restarted my computer and don't really want to reinstall the entire game again. Is there any other work around i can do? Also i am on steam.

@worldly socket verify game with steam maybe?

No option to do so. Steam just launches the launcher

Is there any way to hide player names, UNLESS they are just dead?
granite swan
@worldly socket No, is there not a verify file option in the launcher somewhere?
ebon imp
why is that, that i have just one thing in my duty roulette at level 48? didn't i supposed to have more entrys there?
craggy pivot
@ebon imp no until you unlock pvp and other stuff via blue quests
also game so underdeveloped, i wonder why ppl even pay monthly sub for this thing?

Can someone help me out here, I've gotten 355 points, but I still cant get more than 5 achvement certificates, what's going one, isn't it 50 points to one certificate

about 175 points per certificate

@frosty atlas You sure its Thancred and not Urianger? Isnt that the Ifrit HM?
frosty atlas
@frosty atlas You sure its Thancred and not Urianger? Isnt that the Ifrit HM?
@granite swan Yeah I'm sure, but I just got it. I had to get the quest "A recurring problem" at first
icy jay
How is it 175 per certificate if I already have 5 certificates and only 355 points
frosty atlas
I'm so keen on playing the machinist that I maybe skip too much of the blue quests...
granite swan
Ah

But to fly in ARR zones you need to complete 2.0 story up to a certain point
To fly in any expansion area you need to collect aether currents and do quests there

lime geode
Should I go for the i460 weapon from running e4n 4x? The best weapon on the marketboard is weaker than my i430.
glacial brook
There should be 480's on the MB (upgradeable to 490)
glacial brook
They will be mostly HQ
lime geode
hmm
drifting ruin
Try world visiting to view another servers MB?
lime geode
I'll check again.
glacial brook
Only time you'd see a non-HQ is if someone had bad luck crafting it :P
Or for 1000 poetics you can get a 485 with 5 materia slots from the Bozja place
(or was it 2000?)
lime geode
That'd be nice - i'm at like 1950 poetics
What's the Bozja place? And now I suppose I'm going to have to learn about materia, finally.
glacial brook
It's the first quest of the ShB relic weapons, I forget where it starts but you will need to have completed all the lv70 alliance raids first
obsidian patio
In Kugane at the market area
lime geode
Yeah I've done all the lvl70 raids - was looking to start on the lvl 80 ones soon.
I'll look in Kugane.
thorn mantle
when it says "im now selling items in limsa" does it mean its only available in limsa market board?
young fjord
It means that anyone who buys it from limsa will have to pay a lower tax
thorn mantle
ah, so its still viewable from every marketboard
young fjord
You put up item for sale in limsa, if I buy it from Ul'dha it will be more expensive for me
thorn mantle
ok
young fjord
If I buy from limsa market it will be normal price
lime geode
@obsidian patio Is Hail to the Queen the one I'm looking for? Or is it better just to get the 480 and upgrade?
thorn mantle
thanks
lime geode
In the Kugane markets
obsidian patio
yes that's the quest
lime geode
Thanks
obsidian patio
the relic weapon is roughly equal in power to the augmented neo-ishgard weapons
since it has the advantage of 5 open melding slots compared to the Neo's 2
lime geode
Oh is the one of those take forever/grind things?
obsidian patio
(Augmented neo-ishgardian gear can't be overmelded)
nah
first step is super easy
lime geode
Cool
obsidian patio
You just do a solo instance and get it for free
slate arrow
The grind part won't be added until 5.35
obsidian patio
future resistance relics cost 1k poetics to start
glacial brook
(It's a really cool instance too!)
slate arrow
SkS (to tier) - crit - direct hit (except Warrior) - determination
honest anvil
What’s NQ on certain crafting materials?
slate arrow
Normal Quality
Basically when you don't attempt to add quality
It just means you have less starting quality in a craft which uses the material
glacial brook
Is SkS preferred over crit now? It used to be the other way around.
slate arrow
SkS to tier
lime geode
But it'll change based on your other gear, right?
slate arrow
yes
lime geode
So hard to figure out what to put in while my gear is stil changing quite a bit.
slate arrow
if you don't want to think about it, just stuff the relic with crit or direct hit
lime geode
Can I unstuff it later?
glacial brook
"to tier" means what?
slate arrow
yes, but only at a 40% retrieval rate
@glacial brook to a GCD tier
For example, WARrior and Dark Knight benefit from having a faster GCD
lime geode
And I assume the materia VIII cost a bunch 🙂
slate arrow
nah. If you've been doing Adventurer In Need Roulettes or level 80/Expert Roulette you should have a healthy stash of materia or tokens for t7 and t8 materia
glacial brook
Aaah gotcha, is there anywhere I can look up what SkS would be ideal for my warrior?

warped nest
To be specific
young fjord
iirc WAR and DRK want to have around 2.42 gcd
warped nest
Your warrior and dark knight want a GCD fast enough
young fjord
to get that extra cleave/bloodsplitter in
warped nest
To consistently
slate arrow
2.4 is considered "comfy" unless you have really high latency
warped nest
Yup
obsidian patio
WAR's optimal/comfort zone is 2.38-2.35
warped nest
In theory, 2.49 is enough lol, but in practice, unless you live inside the server room, you want go way faster
obsidian patio
DRK's is 2.43-2.38
obsidian patio
2.49 is no way enough for WAR, you would never get in the 5th cleave during IR
slate arrow
The way the buffs are programmed are slightly different
warped nest
Oh yeah, I forgot the 0.5 thing
obsidian patio
same thing for DRK's 5th GCD during Bloodweapon/Delirium

drifting ruin
so after reaching level 80 and finishing SHB, should I do the post-shb stuff and then worry about gear?
slate arrow
you'll have to do both
warped nest
@drifting ruin those two sorta happen side by side
slate arrow
Dungeons have ilvl limits
slate arrow
410-430-445-450 I think
warped nest
It will slowly increase as you move along
lime geode
I'm right where you are yam - I got pretty exited by eden and 24man. Haven't done anything beyond 5.0.
drifting ruin
I had to buy some ishgardian rings to get my ilvl above 430
young fjord
410
430
440
460
for dungeons
obsidian patio
keep running the dungeons
and spend any tomestones you get on i460/i490 gear in eulmore
lime geode
go for eden - you'll get a bunch of items tradeable for gear
slate arrow
if you want a fast way to 480 do eden
drifting ruin
young fjord
imo memoria misera is faster
dusty mesa
if you want a fast way to 480 do eden
@slate arrow what ilevel do a tank need for eden
slate arrow
Normal or savage
silver ruin
drifting ruin
definitely won't be doing savage I don't think
obsidian patio
425 for the first tier of eden, 455 for the second tier.
young fjord
farming eden is waste of time imo as you need to get lucky with drops, in memoria misera and in dungeons you have role locked loot
slate arrow
but that's extreme trials
Normal trials and raids are faceroll
and hard to fuck up as long as a healer and tank are alive

How does one unlock the High end duty tab in the duty finder?
young fjord
But I know some NA people have trouble with thier ISP from time to time which does not allow them to connect to square enix servers. The work around for that is to launch game via another internet like a mobile one, once in game they can swap back to thier "normal" internet
proven bay
I use ethernet though, so I really can't
@slate arrow You meant restarting my computer, correct?
young fjord
@old crypt You need to unlock duty. Most of the things in that duty tab is unlocked via "The wandering minstrel" NPC
Which require you to complete a normal version of the duty before you can unlock the harder difficulties

not seeing those maintenance times in #lodestone-news-na

are the ivalice raids difficult?
young fjord
There are some insta death mechanics
But nothing to worry about

They're difficult in the sense that you can't just DPS past a majority of the mechanics for the most part.
like you can for Crystal Tower and most of Mhach

obsidian patio
it makes it easier to get some endgame crafting materials

But I don't think any current endgame materials are only from desynthesis.

Complete your level 50 job quest for a set of i90 gear (open the coffer from the quest)

in that case it's a general connection error/failsafe caused by an unstable connection, using a public network, or simply trying too many times

Ive been using the 100% XP buff since I did the ARR campaign before. I was wondering if I should move to a non buffed server for the Heavensward campaign?

you cant move server if you have the road to 70 buff

100% exp buff?
obsidian patio
@crude marten if you’re talking about the comment about Raubahn and Nanamo there’s absolutely no romance involved between them
simple pine
you get a 100% exp buf for starting on a prefered server till level 70
verbal willow
hi @everyone , returning player here for the past week, last time i played was when max lvl was 50 lol EU player on NA server ( why and how i didnt see thast ill never know) Im a WHM and still have no idea what im doing lol, just been doping daily roulettes and my MSQs... friends and advice very much welcomed
obsidian patio
You’d probably crash the server if it did work
verbal willow
appologies
simple pine
it says here "preferred"
but you have to join while its preferred, if you join earlier and then it becomes prefered, you dont get the buff
obsidian patio
You’d also have this buff on your status bar
shut kelp
if i switch to one, will it make a difference with leveling?
simple pine
server swap wont give you the buff either, im pretty sure
if you mean make a new char then yeah, the difference is about 100% exp till 70;)
shut kelp
per class? right?
simple pine
only really useful if you want to level multiple classes yes
your first class has no issue getting max with just MSQ
also note that the exp buff does not work on PoTD which is one of the preferred methods to level dps classes specifically
shut kelp
if i switch to a different world? can I get the buff?
obsidian patio
Yes the buff is on all classes below 70, including crafters and gatherers
No
Road to 70 works on all forms of experience
verbal willow
what EU server is new so i can transfer for free?
simple pine
Road to 70 works on all forms of experience
it definitely does not work on potd, only armoury bonus is applied there
crude marten
is it that much of a grind for 70-80?
wintry chasm
If you want to play on EU you'd have to pay for a transfer or make a new character. In either case I wouldn't not consider just making a new account and using the free trial which is unlimited time to the end of the first expansion @verbal willow
twilit arch
it does work on potd exp, just not the exp you earn for the levels inside
crude marten
never got the % increase of finishing a Daily, is it 20% per run? for a total of 5 runs per level?
twilit arch
it affects the end of exp you get from finish a set of floors
verbal willow
@wintry chasm yeah was thinking that but i love my character, got him to 58 now.. be a shame to start new as willtake a while to get there again wont it?
crude marten
also, does the preferred server/ road to 70 buff ever expire?
simple pine
yes, lasts 90 days, or until your server is no longer prefered, whichever is last
simple pine
so minimum of 90 days
karmic niche
i am bad
crude marten
because it would be a shame if my character hit 70 and my other DoH is lvl 1, WITHOUT the buff anymore
karmic niche
oh
simple pine
when you switch you get the buff
karmic niche
it will turn off when a character is 70
crude marten
neat system then

@wintry chasm yeah was thinking that but i love my character, got him to 58 now.. be a shame to start new as willtake a while to get there again wont it?
@verbal willow this is true but you'd be having to pay for a sub to play on your old account for whatever you do and I doubt you remember the story anyway in the game so redoing it on a new account isn't terrible?
karmic niche
so 70-80 you wont get any buff
crude marten
great, i can play the other classes without worrying about Road to 70 expiring!!
verbal willow
@wintry chasm i paid for the sub a few days ago as it wouldnt let me play it anyway so ive GOT the sub there, will just have to keep on this server for the time being then 😦
wanton fossil
thanks all
crude marten
the story is pretty good, i was in the middle of other RPGs, and FFXIV took me and got me hooked, i'm worried i'll lose track of the story in other RPGs lol

karmic niche
what NG+ for anyway?
obsidian patio
Replaying the story to remember stuff/nostalgia
simple pine
you need to do the level 20 main story quest "sylph management" before you can do the job advancement quest @spiral idol

oh okay

thanks

🤷♂️
crude marten
lol it will mess you up when the next expansion arrives and you're caught in ARR content still
wintry chasm
?
obsidian patio
I recently finished a replaying of HW story to refresh my memory on it and saw lots of little things you don’t really notice the first time around
crude marten
you'd have to clear it up again before you can have the After Shadowbringers expansion, yeah?
twilit arch
that's not how ng+ works
obsidian patio
NG+ progression is entirely separate from normal story progression
wintry chasm
You can exit NG+ whenever you want
obsidian patio
You can pause NG+ at any time and start from many different points
Like you can start right at the beginning of Stormblood patch quests
crude marten
oh, thats weirdly convenient
obsidian patio
Or choose Crystal Tower
crimson crystal
I like replaying story because they do so much foreshadowing that goes over your head initially, but now you can say "I know who that unnamed character is" lol
wintry chasm
That's because getting trapped in hundreds of quests would be a pain in the ass Cian
tidal yarrow
how do i set [duty complete]
zinc orbitBOT
tidal yarrow
there's only duty completion
crude marten
judging from other SE rpgs, new game plus means a clean slate
obsidian patio
If it’s Shiva Unreal you can’t choose duty complete
wispy parcel
Well this isnt entirely like their other RPGs. It is also an MMO after all
crimson crystal
New game+ never really means clean slate. That's the whole point lol
crude marten
clean slate, but with your end game powers lol
strange, it felt like an RPG first, MMO second
and i love it for that
crimson crystal
Yeah kinda is
crude marten
this FFXIV i mean
wispy parcel
60% of the game is story content so yea it is mostly a JRPG
forest laurel
it's an ff game first and an mmo second bc of how story driven ff14 is
crude marten
usually its more of look at the big numbers, pay wall content, and non existent story
this one made me care
forest laurel
yeah the main reason why ppl try out ff14 is the story
crude marten
after you guys finish the story, what do you do?
wispy parcel
Many MMO's have a plotline, its just XIV requires you to do it

Why does a level 50 quest give me a level 70 weapon crate that I can't open >.>

it tells you exactly why you can't open it. the job you are currently doesn't have an ilvl 70 weapon

i did a panic log out of the praetorium quest. when we got to the magitech armor, for some reason it kept on saying i wasn't authorized to access it

twilit arch
before the elevator ride up, there's a interactable
leaden ginkgo
D: everyone kept on moving so fast and the group kind of left me behind once
so i kind of panicked >.<
twilit arch
honestly, if that happens just wait for them to get to the next boss fight and the game should give an option to move immediately to the boss arena

twilit arch
its understandably frustrating since veterans kind of bumrush that instance, and its easy to get lost/turned around
slate shell
Hey guys I am trying to find the collectors edition bundle? Thats on sale for 9.99 and i dont get that option at the mogstation. Instead I get the option to upgrade iduvidually
leaden ginkgo
yeah, i kind of wish there were separate queues for really new players vs. veterans if it were possible to decipher. most duty quests really stress me out since everyone just rushes or gets mad if i take the time to see the cutscenes
rotund sable
there would be no point since MSQ roulette literally just exists to populate the queue so new players dont wait 20 years
vocal star
Any UWU pro here?, is it recommended to use flamethrower at garuda adds?
deft yarrow
is that really the case? with people getting mad for new people watching the cutscenes?
I've never run into that myself
twilit arch
probably have better luck asking in #endgame-lounge Desolater
slate shell
Yeah it was a thing
But can anyone tell me why I can't buy the Digital CE bundle for 9.99?
vocal star
I see
leaden ginkgo
idk its happened to me before. the tank got really mad at me since he rushed in while i was watching a cutscene (for some reason it didn't bubble us in that duty)
deft yarrow
what was he getting mad at you for though?
twilit arch
do you own all of the expansions, phenomenal
leaden ginkgo
@deft yarrow for watching the cutscene. he assumed that everyone would skip in that quest
slate shell
twilit arch
also complete CE is 40$, not 10$
elfin oxide
Hiya. I'm just about to start playing. Happy to be here. : ) I can see that the servers I've been directed to (Kujata/Tonberry) easily get locked down when I go for character creation. Just wondering if there's an ideal time to get up so I can bolt and create a character right away?
deft yarrow
don't let it stress you, let him get mad. You have as much of a right to watch the cutscene if you want to
twilit arch
early morning/late night is usually the time to try and get on to servers @elfin oxide
slate shell
i misread it
they made it sound like it was a bundle
but they jsut reduced the prices on them individually
twilit arch
the complete edition of it is the bundle
elfin oxide
For Australian times? Thanks a bunch. : )

Is the big robot in the lake the next raid i unlock ?

I get two for free every character
for $10 that is the gift that keeps on giving
shut kelp
so no more wind up dalamud or bahamut, huh?
frosty badger
is eurekan potion useful or i can safely discard it?
twilit arch
its useful if you don't have a means of healing in eureka
its only use is for eureka though
signal mist
Is the augmented deep shadow gear better than neo-ishgardian? My little sister accidentally sold my ring so I figured I’d ask before getting a new one.
frosty badger
well i usually play as a healer anyway
twilit arch
no, deepshadow is 470, neo-ish is 480
agile laurel
@slate shell that sounds like Alexander for the heavensward raids, so yes
signal mist
Alright, thanks.
twilit arch
@shut kelp do believe you can still get them with their appropriate soundtracks
dalamud is from before meteor and bahamut is a realm reborn
shut kelp
says on the website for before the fall, that the item code has expired, and the other soundtracks do not say this
twilit arch
they made changes some time ago to those codes, that they should be redeemable
craggy pivot
how level cap divide by addons? on release it was 50? or 60
twilit arch
and if its one of the expired codes, can contact support to exchange for one that works
release max lvl was 50
expansions are +10
so heavensward is 60, stormblood 70, shadowbringers 80
shut kelp
the blu ray version of before meteor and a realm reborn ost dont say anything about a code, on the store
twilit arch
could always ask support about it
shut kelp
Hmm. Will probably end up doing so. Cause if so. Ill buy it lol.
tender merlin
good day everyone, i just signed up for final fantasy 14 trial i got the launcher open but i cant see any play button?
weak lance
Is HW included in trial?
weak lance
good, just did all ARR alliance raids and they were fun
regal shuttle
Is the Bowl of Embers on hard mode and other ARR hard dungeons much more difficult than the first, or just scaled up?
green raft
the trials are more difficult in the sense that there are more mechanics but they aren't actually supposed to be difficult content on the level of an extreme trial
it's just not as easy/noob level as the three 4 man trials
dungeons are just "remixed" essentially
though I suppose they are also a tiny bit harder, as far as dungeon content is 'difficult'
agile laurel
hard trials, although that's a thing that kinda got phased out in later expansions, are a slight bit harder than normal mode
usually due to scaleup/new mechs
rare jetty
Is it worth it unlocking 8-man raids pre-Shadowbringers ??
agile laurel
if you want the rewards from them, yes
if you don't, no need to bother
just like everything else
rare jetty
Perfect
regal shuttle
Oh okay. That is a bit of relief. I was a tad bit nervous so I wanted to check
rare jetty
Saying this cause im unlocking every alliance raid before starting shadowbringers atm*
agile laurel
but yeah hard trials are a bit harder than normal mechanically/scalingly, that is assuming there is a 'normal' to them, and hard dungeons are kinda a bad naming, they're simply different
iirc I think the only mechs different in ifrit hard is the copies charging across and there's more nails to kill
regal shuttle
Oh goodness
agile laurel
also probably the first trial until Stormblood that you get a limit break 3
regal shuttle
Copies? That sounds exciting 😮
agile laurel
it's not that hard assuming you're aware of your surroundings
regal shuttle
I guess Savage is where it really kicks it up then
agile laurel
if you're of the 'oh the boss has gone away, i'll just stand in the middle of the arena and have a drink' mindset
Savage is raids
Not trials
regal shuttle
Wait
agile laurel
you mean extreme, in that context
agile laurel
and ARR extremes are severely outdated now so
faint meadow
Yea EX is the actually hard trials imo
agile laurel
yeah
ex is usually a content level below savage
it's generally the first point of organisation and good play required
agile laurel
ofc old content extremes don't apply to that unless synced
at worst for pre-shadowbringers ex trials unsynced you might need to know how one or two mechanics work
and even then that's generally only the case for stormblood and Sephirot

Is there any good way to manage inventory when crafting a buncha shit to level crafting jobs?

Anything you can reobtain without much trouble, sell it on the marketboard

i want to buy lvl70 poetics gear, apparently there are 3 different sets (ilvl 340 370 400). they all cost the same amount of poetics, so why do the 2 inferior sets even exist ?
is there something im missing ?
hot eagle
they were old sb endgame gear, now they are only glamour
leaden ginkgo
if I had to assume its maybe because back when level 70 was the endgame and they introduced new gear slowly ?

They did

so apart from glamour there is no reason to buy the 340/370 sets right ?

hmm when can i greed and when can i need with loot?
leaden ginkgo
need is only if its your class equipped in the dungeon / raid
median locust
If it's for your current class or for no particular class at all, you can Need
Else, you can only greed
thorn mantle
ah alright, what difference? higher rolls?
leaden ginkgo
if you need and no one else has the same class as yours its guaranteed to be yours
median locust
Need rolls will always win over greed roles
leaden ginkgo
greed - everyone rolls a random number and whoever has the highest will get the item
median locust
Greed rolls only do something if absolutely nobody used Need
thorn mantle
alright

if i type Chests 0-1, people that join are supposed to know the fight and how to clear?
