Is there a use/exchange for materials like Carboncoat, Scaevan twine now?

Or I can just throw them away since they updated the tomestone system

faint flare
#

No more use

toxic jacinth
#

rip my 10 stack of carboncoat ๐Ÿคก

remote lintel
#

@rapid compass yes or buy it on the mb

rapid compass
#

490+ is relatively easy to get just weekly locked

rapid compass
#

I've a full set on DRK, but I'm looking to spot-upgrade a piece or two to bootstrap myself up some IL

remote lintel
#

yorha gear and crystarium/augmented crystarium is pretty easy to get

#

you can also augment neo ish to 490 but its not as good as augmented crystarium

rapid compass
#

does that gear come from a tomestone exchange?

remote lintel
#

crystarium does

rapid compass
#

Sweet!

deft quiver
#

whats the kamuy drop rate on lakshmi?

lavish vortex

Do I have to be a specific class to desynth an item?

lone tree
#

Hey gamers! Slam me with a FAQ if I'm being a clown, but the free trial goes until when, exactly? The end of HW (3.0) or the end of 3.56?

#

Also: you don't have to currently be a crafter class to desynth something! The only requirement is that your crafter class is high enough level <3

lavish vortex
#

Thanks! What level does that class have to be?

woeful nacelle
#

#

There'll be a quest for it

analog gate
#

is there anything i can/should be spending phantas tokens on if i dont want any gear
@lilac flume some of the materials sell quite well on the marketboard

lavish vortex

Do you unlock desynth through a quest? I cans find the option

lilac flume

lone tree

analog gate
#

Hey gamers! Slam me with a FAQ if I'm being a clown, but the free trial goes until when, exactly? The end of HW (3.0) or the end of 3.56?
@lone tree until 3.56, so just before stormblood starts

lone tree
#

Sick, thank you!

strange coral
#

@coral stirrup The Emperor's New gear from Tataroga in Mor Dhona

silent pike

coral stirrup

#

@strange coral is it level restricted?

strange coral
#

No

coral stirrup
#

Thanks mate ๐Ÿ™‚

remote lintel
#

@silent pike not in your inventory at the same time

lavish vortex
#

If I desynthesise a Seiryus Lance, I get a guaranteed Seiryus scale?

remote lintel
#

no

silent pike
#

so i could get one, put in my glamour dresser, then get another one?

remote lintel
#

yes

silent pike
#

lit ty. will that make it so that I can dye it?

lavish vortex
#

@remote lintel is there a way to know the percentage of success I have to get a scale?

karmic niche
#

Isnt maintaince at 10pm gmt?

remote lintel
#

very low

marble drift
#

no @silent pike

remote lintel
#

pt

lavish vortex
#

Haha ok thanks @remote lintel

marble drift
#

To get the dyeable gunbreaker armor you need to complete Memoria Miseria Extreme

umbral lance
#

Is the 2nd Eden wing still only 1 piece of loot per week?

#

per stage, i mean

remote lintel
#

yes

silent pike
#

ah, thank you silver

remote lintel
#

i mean

#

you have 1 chance to loot as much as you want

twilit arch
#

Savage is still weekly locked yes, but normal mode is not

#

except for the blades

umbral lance
#

ah okay

#

remote lintel
#

yes

umbral lance
#

got it, ty

leaden ginkgo
#

hey for Its Probably Pirates i need to do a dungeon? but ive been in queue for almost 10 minutes, anything i should be doing?

marble drift
#

10 minutes is kinda average

#

specially for a dps

#

if you're NOT a dps. then thats a bit strange

leaden ginkgo
#

i am DPS

#

rogue

fringe lotus
#

Im at Volunteer Dragonslayers MSQ rn, y'all think I can reach Heavensward before maintenance?

umbral lance
#

What's the best use of phanta tomestones atm?

polar hound
#

dps is a popular role throughout just about any MMO, hence queue times reflect it..tank/healer wont have long queue times because of demand

#

embrace it now or swap if you cant imo

true wyvern
#

is there a web page that puts all the missions in order, I just beat the first chapter, Chocobo can fly now and Still can not seem to get any further in getting this lily system to work, doesn't show up as a trait i have learned, and no quest poping up. kinda a kick in the pants as of right now.

true wyvern
#

like, where am I in the Grand scope of the game?

#

oh, cool

remote lintel
#

what lvl msq are you at

#

20 im assuming

true wyvern
#

54

polar hound
#

oh a reference, if you go into your actions list Lolosu, at the bottom is the Job Gauge Help or whatever

#

click that...lilys generate every 30s while in combat

true wyvern
#

sorry 57

polar hound
#

have you caught up on your job quests? is there a quest under the one in the top left MSQ tracker?

remote lintel
#

youre on a lvl 50 msq

polar hound
#

oh

#

its a 52 trait

robust crow
#

tonight's maint isn't adding anything new, is it?

#

just hotfixes?

remote lintel
#

yes

true wyvern
robust crow
#

so new ishgard wing is still a few weeks away?

polar hound
#

nope, keep progressing MSQ

true wyvern
#

okay

remote lintel
#

@true wyvern you need to get to heavensward to unlock your lvl 50-60 job quests

polar hound
#

you're fine..just outleveling the msq a little bit which is normal

remote lintel
#

so you don't have a lily

#

i think

polar hound
#

yeah it's a 52 trait

#

!trait secret of the lily

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Secret of the Lily** : lvl 52 WHM

Adds a Lily to your Healing Gauge for every 30 seconds you are engaged in combat, up to a maximum of 3.

polar hound
#

do job quests when they popup and you'll unlock it as you go ๐Ÿ™‚

true wyvern
#

but I have to be at a certain point in the MSQ for it to trigger

#

?

remote lintel
#

yes you need to get to HW

true wyvern
#

okay, that sucks.... but rules are rules

#

off I go!

polar cairn
#

in the ishgardian restoration diadem, leveling a gatherer consists of farming the same plants over and over again, is the leveling process similar to crafters in ishgardian restoration?

spring oasis
#

how do I get achievement mounts when I compelte the achievement

polar cairn
#

old gridania x 10 y 6

remote lintel
#

basicallyt

crude marten
#

Any way we could change our characters' default standing stance?
It feels weird that my character always stands chest out and proud

remote lintel
#

you mass craft the highest lvl item you can and turn them in

polar cairn
#

/pos

#

ok i see

remote lintel
#

no but you can set the idle animation delay to 0 secs so they automatically change pose when they stop moving @crude marten

polar cairn
#

how long do u think it will take to max a leather worker

#

i have an alch at 80

deft quiver
#

How many kamuys/dogs are there?

remote lintel
#

a few hours

deft quiver
#

6 or 7?

polar cairn
#

a few hours?

remote lintel
#

you would level all your crafters together

crude marten
#

@remote lintel okay I'll look for the idle animation toggle

remote lintel
#

less than a day yes

polar cairn
#

uh

remote lintel
#

@crude marten character config > control > character

crude marten
#

Geez I've never seen a character editor better than dragons dogma, and its been years since that!

twilit arch
#

7, not counting the final kamuy @deft quiver

crude marten
#

@remote lintel thanks mate

deft quiver
#

alright thanks

#

whats easiest after lakshmi and susano?

dapper shadow
#

@true wyvern SE later changed it so that you just unlock your abilities without having to do job quests anymore 61+ (except for 70 capstone ability). But for reasons they decide they aren't going to remove the restrictions for HW lvl 51-60 abilities.

stiff osprey
#

do samurais ever weave hagakure for any reason?

warped nest
#

It is how they are designed

#

@stiff osprey yes

stiff osprey
#

or is it just to reset to clean openers in between pulls?

warped nest
#

To realign your sen

#

You do Hagakure once a minute

scarlet arrow
#

SE generally doesn't go back and alter content they've already released

warped nest
#

Short version: you realign your Sen so you have exactly one when you need to refresh your higanbana

scarlet arrow
#

5.3 was really the first time they've committed to going back and changing things

warped nest
#

Long version: check the guide in balance's discord

stiff osprey
#

that makes sense

#

re: higanbana

scarlet arrow
#

does an ARR story skip potion also give you Crystal Tower clearance now?

faint flare
#

Its basically so that you dont get into situations where you Midare but Tsumbae is like 5s from coming back

twilit arch
#

yes baneric

true wyvern
#

@dapper shadow now that answers all thank you!

deft quiver
#

Can i craft something, put in glamour dresser, and sell it? or does it become spiritbound?

twilit arch
#

it will bind to you

deft quiver
#

rip

daring turret
#

is the maintenance in an hoour?

remote lintel
#

yes

lone zephyr
#

Why is post ARR so long

#

Also is there postgame on every expansion? Or just the main story?

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah i'm wondering that too ^

mental garnet
#

do sprouts get paired with sprouts more often? in dungeons, i mean

leaden ginkgo
#

like when does heavensward start exactly?

glad comet
#

yes, there is postgame on every expansion.

twilit arch
#

why: because they had certain number of quests quotas they felt they needed to hit back then, though with 5.3 they've trimmed down ARR msq

glad comet
#

It's a way of tying up loose ends, and preparing for the next expansion

twilit arch
#

and yes, every expansion has post msq, though they are significantly shorter in quest number than ARR

glad comet
#

@mental garnet nope.

#

It's random.

opaque beacon
#

so i can see when HS starts

twilit arch
#

post arr is now 80 quests

dapper shadow
#

and some quests aren't as multi-stepped anymore

slate crow
#

Maintenance in 30?

dapper shadow
#

spam !maint in kupo bot spam to your heart's content

leaden ginkgo
#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ ty for all the help!

slate crow
#

Why is spawning fates in Lower La and West Than so terrible?

elder sinew
#

Does your profile become corrupt if you dont log off before maintenance? Wondering why ppl are cautious and logging off lol

#

Other games, ppl just play until they get booted

twilit arch
#

no

little swift
#

Theres just not a lot of stuff to do before maintenance usually so people log off early

gaunt brook
#

Where would you buy like non market board fish

nova umbra
#

did they remove stun from ninja in pvp?

gaunt brook
#

like theres vendor fish at the Bismarck but is there vendor fish anywhere else?

nova umbra
#

I vaguely remember something like that on ninja o.o;

stiff osprey
#

are there any training dummies where they aren't like

#

jammed into a corner

#

like i go to bentbranch, but you have to be careful about not like

#

falling off a plateau lol

#

if you want to practice your positionals that is

gaunt brook
#

uhh

#

if you look around the housing areas

#

you might eventually find one in someones house

jagged crow
#

||Is puppets bunker the newest nier raid?||

twilit arch
#

yes

jagged crow
#

I just unlocked it and wasn't sure

#

did it just come out in 5.3?

twilit arch
#

yes

jagged crow
#

Dang well I got to it just in time

#

I just unlocked the first one yesterday

fringe lotus
#

will it just log me out at maintnence time?

severe tusk
twilit arch
#

yes you will be forced off once maint starts @fringe lotus

proud willow
#

Complete Edition is the base + expansions for $60

halcyon glen
#

@severe tusk Do you already own the game?

proud willow
#

Collectors' Edition upgrade gives you all the optional items that come with each Collectors' Edition, normally $20 each for a total of $80

#

but you need to own the normal version first in order to make use of the upgrade

halcyon glen
#

The sale is on upgrading an already owned game to the Collector's Edition of the game

severe tusk
#

oooh. so I'd have to get complete + collectors

slate crow
#

What happens if I donโ€™t log out in time?

severe tusk
#

You isekai like in overlord.

proud willow
#

$40 is a decent deal for the Collectors' upgrade but make sure it's something you're actually interested in

twilit arch
#

You're forced out of the game

proud willow
#

as it's basically just cosmetics

twilit arch
#

that's all that happens

restive relic
#

question; if i buy something off the MB to guse for glamour, to i have to keep it or does it add it to my glamour options forever

slate crow
#

Surprised I havenโ€™t been booted yet.

restive relic
#

like does it save everything ive looted into a glamour option

quasi widget
#

no you need to register it to the ingame glamour inventory

twilit arch
#

you have to keep whatever you want to use as glamour

quasi widget
#

its not like wow or gw2

shell walrus
#

Question about the Yokai event, if you have a minion out and are in the right area - do you get a regular AND a legendary medal? Or only one of them? (for the sake of the question, let's assume there's a 100% drop rate)

twilit arch
#

that said you can put items into the glamour dresser to save some space, but its limited to 400 items

restive relic
#

whoa wait whats that lmao

twilit arch
#

if you have the watch on, you will get regular medals. if you don't have the watch on, then you only have a chance at getting legendary medals

slate crow
#

There it goes.

#

JUST barely finished DRK 60 quest

quasi widget
#

you'll get regular medals with the yokai watch item equipped and legendary medals with the minion out

shell walrus
#

thanks Kaelwryn, so I guess it makes sense to try and go for legendary at the same time as regular medals.. I suppose that saves some time

quasi widget
#

as long as the minion is the right zone

twilit arch
#

ya, if you still need regular medals for the minions

shell walrus
#

yeah

#

ok thanks!

twilit arch
#

have the watch on while you're farming fates for the legendary medals, since regular medals are 100% drop rate

shell walrus
#

cool, thanks

#

another question - there's an item needed to turn items into glamour (I think) - where can I get/buy that? I seem to have run out ;p

twilit arch
#

easiest way to get more glamour prisms is to buy them with grand company seals

#

though recommend holding off on doing so if you're not sergeant second class yet with your grand company

shell walrus
#

oooh, that's a great use for grand company seals

twilit arch
#

since once you're that rank or higher, it'll be way easier to get seals by turning in old dungeon gear

shell walrus
#

I uh, redeemed all of my 10k grand company seals RIGHT BEFORE i realized you had to spend seals to rank up

#

lessons were learned

true wyvern
#

F

#

my school of thought is "If I dont know what its for I hold on to it"

pine bluff
#

so about how long is maintenance?

twilit arch
#

5hrs~

pine bluff
#

I must have misread the notice, thought it was at like 2am tomorrow AEST

#

damn

shell walrus
#

@true wyvern I was planning to hold off before I learned about that stuff, but I realized it was capped at 10k and since the yokai event requires fate grinding - figured I'd clear it

#

not really looking to meta this game, just having fun in the world and trying to keep up with the events

true wyvern
#

makes sense to me

twilit arch
#

its definitely not the end of the world, and if you're going to be doing yokai

#

probably easily cap again

shell walrus
#

for sure

twilit arch
#

but for gc, its strongly recommend to prioritize promotions namely for expert delivery

plain python
#

what is capping at 10k D:

shell walrus
#

GC seals

plain python
#

oh, just promote yourself

shell walrus
#

;p

pine bluff
#

#latetotheparty ahah

true wyvern
#

I'm max on the lowest tier, in the GC.... I've been neglecting the GC missions.....

shell walrus
#

(did everyone log out as a good citizen, or wait for the server apocalypse to strike?)

plain python
#

well, you need to hunt monsters wanted by the GC. It gives you seals per entry too, so beware ๐Ÿ˜„

true wyvern
#

i logged, once in FFXI it messed up my file in Beta

plain python
#

in your hunting log, I mean

shell walrus
#

...hunting...log.. <makes notes>

halcyon glen
#

do your gc hunting log

#

please

#

you need it to rank up

shell walrus
#

ah, I will

plain python
#

yeah, I just discover that last night, trying to find a way to spend my 25k seal lol

#

after rank up, seal vanishes

shell walrus
#

yours are capped at 25k? maybe you're at a higher rank

plain python
#

for further rank up lol

#

yeah, you spend seal to promote yourself

#

up to a cap

halcyon glen
#

i have a 40k cap. i need more. i cap it too often.

plain python
#

buy glamor prism or those items that you can sell for 300 gil?

#

or 100 Sultana paintings

shell walrus
#

as a new player it is kind of annoying that high level/skill players go in and trounce a FATE before I have a chance to contribute enough

halcyon glen
#

Ah, see, that's not level or skill

#

That's Blue Mage

plain python
#

yeah, they deal flat damage

shell walrus
#

oh, they are OP?

#

oh!

plain python
#

so while you deal 20 damage on lv5 fate, they hit 300

faint flare
#

They're extremely strong in content they access to

halcyon glen
#

FATEs have level sync, so everyone gets brought down to the FATEs level

faint flare
#

And they keep all skills when synced

shell walrus
#

that introduction quest that unlocks blue mate is.. something

faint flare
#

Opposed to.losing them

shell walrus
#

mage~

halcyon glen
#

thing is, BLU loses none of its OP skills when synced

#

so

faint flare
#

Blue has a number of instant death, flat damage skills and a plethora of aoe skills

#

!action Missile

plain python
#

can they devour? ๐Ÿ˜„

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Missile** : lvl 1 BLU (300 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

Deals damage equal to 50% of target's current HP.
Chance of successful attack is low. Has no effect on enemies whose level is higher than your own.

Blue Magic

A magical imitation of warmachina technology, this technique allows the user to fire a barrage of aetherial missiles. When efficaciousโ”€which, bear in mind, is not guaranteedโ”€it sends a shock through the foe that appears to resonate more the greater their vitality.

Obtained

Enkidu / Battle in the Big Keep

Blue Magic

Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 4

faint flare
#

Like this

#

They can

#

!action Devour

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Devour** : lvl 1 BLU (300 MP) (60.0 second cooldown)(1.0 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 250.
Additional Effect: Increases maximum HP by 20%
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: Restores an amount of own HP equal to damage dealt
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions.

Blue Magic

No longer merely the domain of savage beasts, this technique, when reproduced by the blue mage, involves not the devouring of rent flesh, but rather heals and invigorates its caster through the absorption of aether.

Obtained

Caduceus / The Binding Coil of Bahamut T1
Decaying Gourmand / The Lost City of Amdapor

Blue Magic

Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 1

faint flare
#

Its a skill

shell walrus
#

so I guess it's a popular class

#

..job

halcyon glen
#

Not usually

faint flare
#

No

plain python
#

lol, there should be a Quina race in this game so I can play blue mage with them

faint flare
#

Its a giant meme

#

Its not a full job

#

Its a limited job

halcyon glen
#

There's currently an event going on that requires people to grind FATEs

faint flare
#

Its side content if anything

shell walrus
#

I see.. maybe that's why the quest that introduces it is so weird

#

Seemed like a joke almost

halcyon glen
#

and BLU is, as you've observed, incredibly efficient at grinding FATEs

faint flare
#

Because it kinda is but isn't

#

Blue is EXTREMELY strong at what it does

#

However

#

What it can do is limited

halcyon glen
#

It's basically its own game

plain python
#

blue mage is a skill-stealer, they go around watching monsters' special attack and learn them

faint flare
#

Like blue can clear dungeons in 5mins

plain python
#

i think some attack is in dungeon?

faint flare
#

But they cant que for dungeons and need pre made groups

shell walrus
#

i'd love to mess around with it, seems fun - but there's already so much content

halcyon glen
#

sure is

faint flare
#

Blue is enjoyable, as always wish there was more reason to whip it out

#

And just general interest

heady flare
#

I'd really like them to just add blue mage support in Deep Dungeon and Eureka when we get to that point

mossy kite
#

!maint

faint flare
#

That command only works in #kupo-bot-spam

little swift
#

for obvious reasons

#

we don't use that command here

wraith heart
#

is playing the main quests the fastest way to get to level 30? I find the that I get lost a lot trying to find npcs. I do really enjoy 4 player missions. I want to play as a scholar healer but now have to play as dps arcanist ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

frank wigeon
#

hey where in the discord does it say when maintenance is finished? >:D

shrewd owl
#

do !maint in #kupo-bot-spam

little swift
#

use the !maint command in kupo bot spam

frank wigeon
#

oo thank you

little swift
#

@wraith heart for your first class/job msq is the bulk of your exp. not only that you unlock most content in the game through MSQ anyways. you don't have a choice of skipping them

halcyon glen
#

You need to be level 20 in the MSQ anyway to access Scholar

#

Regardless of your character level

gloomy mortar
#

When you do a Yokai Fate, do you need to do a minimum amount of damage to get a drop? Most times I am not in a party, just following the group

little swift
#

you need at least a silver medal of contribution

#

joining a party will definitely help

halcyon glen
#

You and your party need to contribute a certain amount to the FATE

silver minnow
#

theres a notification on the launcher that says 50% off collectors edition upgrades but its not showing for me

gloomy mortar
#

Can you put the Moonfaire Bomb Balloon into the Armoire? Can you re-buy them from the Calamity Salvager?

woeful nacelle
#

server down?

gloomy mortar
#

Yes

woeful nacelle
#

you think they will do something about the congested zones?

Anyone have a good guide on making mouseover macros?

plain python
#

For Yokai Fate as a free-trial solo, I do it on my healer (well, the only class I have now, lol):
-for quests that escort NPCs, wave of monsters will appear along the way. Just spam heal on the NPCs when they appear, so that you earn a lot of hate. Easy gold.
-for quests that require you kill a number of monsters, what you do need is not killing them. You only need to make sure you hit them once. Throw a fast spell (I use Aero) and change to other target immeditely, let the crowd kill the tagged monsters for you.
-for give-npc-the-loot quest, ignore monsters unless you can AoE. Just scrap whatever on the ground. 10 of them is enough for gold.
-for boss fate, give tank some heal occasionally (don't need to be in your party) while dealing damage.

To unlock samurai, do i need to have or complete all the expansion msq and be level 50?

twilit arch
#

no, you just need to have stormblood on your account and lvl 50

warped nest
#

@timid silo just be 50

twilit arch

no msq required

#

not sure what you mean that question...Do you mean the duty roulette?

@finite swift roulette has daily bonus

squadrons/trusts? no its same exp

squadrons = A.I. teammate?

Same exp, but trust do things slower

in technical term, neither of them are AI

we are not so advanced that we use AI as toys

how do i recruit squadron members

analog gate

every challenge log entry will give you a chance of recruiting someone

so i should be checking everytime i complete 1?

then is it wasted

I need to have the stormblood expansion to unlock samurai right?

you can have multiple members showing up

I've just finished the MSQ, is there an up to date guide on gearing to 500 ilvl?

theres so many items/recipes/currencies in place for gear at this stage it's confusing

not talking about crafted gear btw

quasi widget
#

do normal raids for 480 gear, then ex trials for weapons or relic quest, alliance raid for 490 piece per week, buy crystarium gear for tomestone, do savage raids for 500

tidal yarrow
#

not sure if there is a guide about it, but ilv500 gear is given by tomestones exchanger at eulmore in change of tomestones of allegory (crystarium gear, 490 at first but 500 if augmented) or it's also dropped as weekly loot on savage fights

wanton shadow

right now I'm getting my SB alliance raids done so I can get my relic weapon going

and nier raids

I guess I'm just confused about the tomestone stuff and how time gating works etc

quasi widget

its mostly gated per week

for max ilevel pieces

You can also augment the crystarium pieces with the nier raid coins

Or with nutsacks

so 450 tomestone per week max, and only one loot per savage floor per week

the upgrade sale is for upgrading a standard account to collector's edition, which is under additional services

you can augment one piece of cryst at week right?

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.

if you don't take sidequests along the way, the map should only show you the main quest

You can use your Arcanist there to earn daily bonus exp

!faq mount

zinc orbitBOT
#
Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

what are you finding difficult about finding npcs?

#

if you click on the quest it shows you exactly where the npcs are

warped nest

Well, the map is "hidden" until a new player discover them

So if cheeky is doing new quests

#

It is just confusing for them to know where to go specifically

wraith heart

it shows where they are but not v obvious how to get there

So there is a lot of exploration going on

you may be a bit tight of money in like first 15 level, then you will forget that you have a skill named Return, cuz teleport fee is neglectable.

limsa can be a bit confusing i understand that one ha. but if you use the aetheryte itll help cut down the travel

plain python
#

visit all teleport points in a big city will unlock extra teleports directly to the city's gates

solid sinew
#

I use my discounted teleport locations, my free teleport, my return and if all else fails i use my tickets (something you earn after you unlock hunts though GC ranking up) to get around

wraith heart
#

ok i will! i noticed that airships are a bit cheaper but im not sure it is worth to save a little in game cash for IRL time lol

heady flare
#

nah. as mentioned youll be teleporting around in no time. just need a little but of money first

pine phoenix
#

how long is the mogstation sale going on for and how often do things go on sale?

heady flare

you get enough money thru msq so you can teleport usually

wraith heart

ok hehe im glad that miney isnt an issue in this game

Depends on you time restrictions, if a few extra loading screens will bother you or not also depends on wether or not you havea computer or ps4 with a ssd or not as well

It comes pretty much immediately after you visit all the other cities

I will never go back to playing a hard drive ever again for FFXIV the amount of time a SSD cuts down in both loading from zone to zone and mobs especially a hunt makes it worth the costs ( highly suggested upgrade for anyone)

plain python

you can buy Nanamo paintings

levequests are mostly good for leveling gatherers... or were...

solid sinew
#

The Grand company unlocks the squadrons to do dungeons with the squadron to level alt jobs and also access to a lot items you can buy and the hunt a very nice thing for getting aethertye ticket for free teleports and upgrades for gear mount/minions and so forth

#

Something you should not be overlooking that it also unlocks pvp for leveling as well

theres a couple of feature locked behind grand company leveling, like squadron dungeons and easy access to items, but the best is the pushups/squats/situps emotes

Hmm okay, what are some basic ways to level up GC?

pay them seals

then its locked behind squadron missions

plain python

Before you hit a certain rank to turn in gear you get from dungeon for seal is to do fates in the world or leveling roulette as a adventure in need (usually a tank or healer)

Yes, in sunken temple hard. Get hit by zombie wall 4 times and you're going zombie and attack your teammates. There's also a sort of zombie status on another dungeon where it makes the fight a DPS check iirc

Weeping City is literally called Zombify iirc

Oh k, I thought being Zombify makes you vulnerable to healing

gritty oracle
#

I swear there's a zombification status in a dungeon. Pharos Sirius maybe?

Because in the previous FF installments, Zombify status makes the opposite being healed.

Nothing like that in XIV, Hikari

Such as: Raise can instantly kill you, Cure can damage you

Ah good to know

Also a question about tanking. Say, a fight spawns multiple adds, but they're too far away from each other for eclipse to pick them up, like in sunken temple hard or Shiva ex/unreal. Am I supposed to run around like a headless chicken shield lobbing them individually?

#

Use Lob + Provoke if you dont need provoke soon

namazuthink you shouldn't need to lob/provoke for shiva ex adds though, assuming your team isn't being stupid and spread out

Cure usage in this game is for when you have nothing else

you should only put points into when you've got the other two maxed out

Tank tree's only value is giving passive bonuses to damage stats

can summoner LB have an additional pet out?

HW+ zones will require you to collect Aether Currents from around the zone as well as complete certain sidequests

warm mortar
#

For other expacs, you need to find Aether Currents. 10 are found in each zone in the field, four are from sidequests, and one is from finishing MSQ in that zone.

simple shore

and the MSQ for that specific zone

#

Hi,is worth to play that free trial on ps4 ? And what class should i go for

simple shore
#

Exactly what do you mean by "worth"

warm mortar
#

I mean

#

It's worth it to play the free trial in general tbh

simple shore
#

Its free. that's literally the antithesis of somthing you can label as "worth"

heady orbit
#

If combat and gameplay is good

warped nest
#

We won't know if it suits you

naive kraken
#

the only thing you have to lose is time

warped nest
#

That's why

#

You try

#

The game

#

For free

heady orbit
#

So what class u say?

warm mortar
#

What do you wanna do?

simple shore
#

That's up to you.

warped nest
#

Watch a job trailer on YouTube

#

Pick one that feels cool

simple shore
#

There's literally no such thing as a bad job in FF14

stray lily
#

blue mage?

warm mortar
#

You've got two tanks, a healer, and like... a few DPS classes? (With one available starting at 10 I think since you can't start as it)

#

Is it 10 or 15 before you can take on more classes?

gritty oracle
#

10

warped nest
#

10

heady orbit
#

Brub

#

So there are more classes

warped nest
#

Lvl 15 msq is opening up the other two starter cities

leaden ginkgo
#

omg i have a long ways to go then

warped nest
#

There are 17 combat jobs in total

wanton shadow
#

are all the NA data centers hosted in the same area?

warped nest
#

(I think it is 17)

simple shore
#

Yes

#

All of them are in California

warped nest
#

Yes, California

wanton shadow
#

fuck me that's annoying ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

heady orbit
#

So i have to watch alot of yt videos

wanton shadow
#

feel like they should be central for NA :/

warped nest
#

You don't have to

#

But you choose to do homework before you play

leaden ginkgo
warped nest
#

While you could have just... Play.

Don't worry, the game doesn't punish for making mistakes.

#

You are free to change job

#

Play everything on one character

#

There is no race stat advantage for a certain job

#

No race restrictions on what you job can play

stray lily
#

what are your guys' favorite class to play

warped nest
#

Tank

wanton shadow
#

is there a website that shows server population size?

leaden ginkgo
#

yea that would be a helpful website

warped nest
#

is there a website that shows server population size?
@wanton shadow why would SE let people know population of active player

leaden ginkgo
#

gilgamesh keeps kicking me of the servers

gritty oracle
#

There's a semi recent spreadsheet about each server pop? I think

wanton shadow
#

because it's useful info for picking a server o.o

warped nest
#

We only have a good guess on which world is crowded

warm mortar
#

@heady orbit Well, you can play every class in the game on one character. In the free trial, only four unable to be picked as starting classes/jobs:

  • Rogue, which promotes to Ninja: Requires any ARR starting class to reach Level 10. Your best bet is to pick Marauder or Arcanist, since the Rogue's Guild is in Limsa Lominsa and is the only area you actually can't go to or leave from until 15.

  • Dark Knight, Astrologian, and Machinist: Requires the completion of A Realm Reborn and the Main Scenario Quest "Coming to Ishgard." These jobs start at Level 30.

Samurai, Red Mage, Dancer, and Gunbreaker are unavailable in the Trial, as they require the purchase of Stormblood and/or Shadowbringers to be able to be used.

warped nest
#

We will never know the estimated population size

wanton shadow
#

well I more so mean data center population

warped nest
#

Same thing

#

It is private info

#

Side note: purchasing Shadowbringers automatically includes Stormblood

#

There is no need to buy Stormblood (you can't anyway, unless you try to be a smart ass and buy one from key reseller)

plain python
#

I remember there used to be events that crossover other FF characters like Lightning. Are they similar to Yokai events which only available for a some time?

warped nest
#

Yes

#

Monster Hunter is the only full time permanent collab

warm mortar
#

IIRC the Lightning Strikes event has very little chance of coming back. All the items from it are available on Mog Station.

#

Also, Nier says hi.

warped nest
#

Oh, yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

the variety of job options is quite overwhelming. I believe the trend OG players are taking is to take every brand new job and completing it asap then move on to the successor class

warped nest
#

Brain fart

#

Lol

leaden ginkgo
#

or successive class

warm mortar
#

Well, only the ARR classes have successor jobs.

obsidian patio
#

and you want to upgrade to them right away

warm mortar
#

And that happens at 30

obsidian patio
#

the job shares the experience of the class

#

Jobs are basically the class with a stone on them

warped nest
#

A better way to put it, imo, is classes are neutered Jobs.

obsidian patio
#

So all "Black Mage" Experience is actually Thaumaturge experience.

#

It's why Summoner and Scholar share the same experience/level as they share the base class of Arcanist.

leaden ginkgo
#

hmm interesting

warm mortar
#

Blue Mage

warped nest
#

Ummm... What?

leaden ginkgo
#

i never asked that question

#

disregard

sage stratus
#

Arguably RDM could be as well because they're known for their epic hats

warm mortar
#

Okay but you can just wear the spotted gear.

#

And BLU has a cane.

sage stratus
#

The spotted gear is bottom tier, and canes don't have nothing on rapiers, especially if you can't even have a level 80 cane

warm mortar
#

@leaden ginkgo Question, is this your first MMO?

leaden ginkgo
#

no. but i'm i never let previous experience limit my expectations for an incoming

#

did u see my deleted question

#

is that y u're asking lol

warm mortar
#

Nah.

#

More so I can ask about classes you played there to steer you on a decent starting class.

leaden ginkgo
#

hmm im currently playing THM, right now at lvl 40

warped nest
#

I hope you mean BLM

leaden ginkgo
#

im pretty much a baby in ffxiv world

warped nest
#

Because your THM should become a BLM at lvl 30

leaden ginkgo
#

yes right. BLM

sharp spire
#

uh is ffxiv really more fun than it looks in yt videos?

#

it's a clusterfart of effects and like 2 keyboards of commands

warped nest
#

You don't look at the command when you play

#

At high level

#

You glance at them occasionally to track cooldown time

leaden ginkgo
#

@sharp spire yes. it's the community that makes it so enjoyable. It's what separates them from a lot of mmo games

sharp spire
#

so it's just not watchable

shrewd owl
#

you can just turn off effects so ehhhhh

leaden ginkgo
#

just play the damn game Waals

warped nest
#

we are very aggressive... In feeding new players a lot of info, and clearing misunderstanding

sharp spire
#

no time to play yet

Hello. What was the command for controller huge guide here?

warm mortar

The wha

#

Thank you

leaden ginkgo
#

hey i was reading the ffxiv website on Yokai event, and it says here i can get access to the whisper-go mount

#

but i never got that mount!

twilit arch
#

you need to talk to jonathas once you've gotten all of the minions

#

or once you've collected 13/17 weapons

warm mortar
#

He's in Old Gridania. You can also grab any other achievement rewards from him.

twilit arch
#

but yeah jonathas in gridania is how you get achievement based rewards

potent lava
#

Speaking of
Its says can get a flying mount from the event
Is it usuable even before the normal way you get flying

leaden ginkgo
#

oh ok so, i have already unlocked the BLM stik from Golden Saucer guy. I just need to unlock 12 more?

warm mortar
#

@potent lava Nope, you need to unlock flying in any zone before it can.

twilit arch
#

you won't be able to fly with them until you have unlocked flying

leaden ginkgo
#

can anyone validate @potent lava 's statement back there coz i'm hell-bent on getting my first flying mount

simple shore
#

All mounts are flying mounts.

leaden ginkgo
#

im tired of ruunning

simple shore
#

There's no such thing as a "flying mount" vs. a "not flying mount"

warm mortar
#

Even grounded mount-riding is faster than running

potent lava
#

Ah okay
That part starts in HW Msq territory right

warm mortar
#

Nope!

naive kraken
#

2nd 24 man of ShB, where is the safe spot during || Maneuver: Refraction Cannons || because every time i see it i try to learn where it goes but it never seems to be quite right.

warm mortar
#

As of 5.3, flying can now be unlocked in A Realm Reborn areas!

leaden ginkgo
#

w/ flying u don't have to worry about terrain tho

warm mortar
#

You need to clear the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon" and then you can fly in all ARR zones.

leaden ginkgo
#

oh so they just recently unlocked flying

#

via game patch

warm mortar
#

For Heavensward onwards, though, it's finding Aether Currents.

potent lava
#

Well looks like im still a ways away from that, only just finishedr the Manor
Thanks anyway

Our free company has a small house, but we want too buy a large house. Can only the fc leader buy the large house to move the fc there?

twilit arch
#

anyone with the rank that has permission to buy housing can buy it, so it doesn't necessarily have to be the fc leader

obsidian patio
#

Only people as a rank with the privileges of

no way to delay it, but you can disable it in character config > ui settings > general. untick "display action help." for skill tooltips, "pop-up help" for item tooltips. Can also set it to be in a fixed position rather than at your cursor.

ok that would be awesome thanks

woeful nacelle
#

is book of refulgence once a week drop?

obsidian patio
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

so do i have to collect ALL yokai minions and then unlock 13/17 weps from one of them?

woeful nacelle
#

What about book of icono?

obsidian patio
#

same thing for that and Furor and Fulmination

#

@leaden ginkgo You only need the weapons mount-wise if you want the glowy whisper mount

woeful nacelle
#

ah gotcha

obsidian patio
#

if you're fine with the not-glowy whisper mount then only the minions are needed

heady orbit
#

Btw is crossplay?

dull sparrow
#

should be plenty of time to get all minions and weapons?

proven bay
#

Yeah, crossplay is a thing

obsidian patio
#

yes, Steam, Windows, Mac, and PS4 players all play together

heady orbit
#

Cool

twilit arch
#

yes. there is more than enough time to get all of yokai watch done

#

its going to be around for 3mos give or take

obsidian patio
#

assuming 5.4 doesn't get delayed or come earlier than expected you can get all 17 minions/weapons by only getting a few tokens each day

dull sparrow
#

ive only gotten 1 minion and 1 weapon. but havent gotten flyinng yet, so im w8 for that till i do the rest

#

not sure when i get flying, im lvl 50 atm

obsidian patio
#

dull sparrow

obsidian patio
leaden ginkgo

brave ravine

@brave ravine theres 2 mounts i think

green grail

obsidian patio
#

warm mortar
#

Is the couch two-seater?

obsidian patio
#

nope

warm mortar
#

Or is it just a very big one-seater

green grail
#

more of a jibanyan beanbag

obsidian patio
#

it scales in size according to race, so it's really only big on the bigger races

leaden ginkgo
#

how many medals per successive minion again

#

i have 9 currently owned and 20 medal

#

s

obsidian patio

How to send msg at chat via controller? I understood how to open chat, how to text via virtual keyboard but how to actually send?

obsidian patio
#

@high badge shadowbringers

#

collector's edition only includes a few vanity items and a mount

#

@minor oak pressing X with the chat box targeted should send the message. As a tip I do suggest investing in a USB keyboard to use for typing

dungeon opens at 20 right?

obsidian patio

your first dungeon is at level 15 in the story.

leveling dungeons for the most part are unlocked through the story

oh okay thank you

vestal needle
#

What are important items that are gained from raising gc that arent manuels? Im in middle of raising it right now but, have no idea why im doing it since i dont plan to touch craft or gather

obsidian patio
#

They're an easy source of glamour prisms, either for personal use or selling on the marketboard.

#

and the crafting materials at the higher ranks can sometimes sell well

vestal needle
#

Oh i didnt know they sell glamour orism. Thanks for the info

gritty oracle
#

Also the crafted items for anima.

#

They're 80k seals total for a single anima.

I believe they can get confused on the first boss and break

well, could anyway

do you unlock flying through msq?

balmy hinge

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

agile laurel
#

account wide things like some mounts can take a bit longer

#

wait on it

#

@balmy hinge

obsidian patio
#

24 hours definitely should've been long enough

agile laurel
#

oh yeah i didn't see that

sly vessel
#

hmmm im still far out in arr msq

agile laurel
#

that is true

obsidian patio
#

clear out your mail of any old letters and try the request button one last time. if it doesn't work then I suggest sending in a support ticket through the mogstation

wild trout
#

Hello, I am a fairly new player. I just hit my gatherer to 80 and have been checking the clocks for collectables. There seems to be a few of them that do not spawn in the locations. Do I need to do anything special to view certain nodes or meet certain stat requirements? The node in question contains "Ethereal Cocoon".

leaden ginkgo
#

is the free trial limited to 14 days only?

green grail
#

no, there's no time limit

leaden ginkgo
#

oh they changed it!

#

thanks for clarifying

green grail
#

like 3+ years ago, yeah

#

you need to buy folklore books from scrip vendors, it's kinda like unlocking recipes for crafters, except it's unlocking nodes for gatherers @wild trout

wild trout
#

Thank you so much!

sly vessel
#

if i bought the game using my free trial acc, does in upgrade it or it resets progress?

unborn plinth
#

it upgraded mine

#

also got 15 extra days

tender hull
#

I haven't played PoTD. IS it okay to go through all of it solo? Or is it more of a challenge to do that?

unborn plinth
#

you keep progress

twilit arch
#

the 15 days are from leveling up on a preferred server

#

and its not recommended to do potd solo if you're using it to level

tender hull
#

What if I just want to progress?

twilit arch
#

used matched party

#

applying a starter edition or complete edition code to your account gives you 30 days

brave ravine
#

are there additional inventory slots from some other sources other than chocobo saddlebag + retainers?

warped nest
#

Your armoire can store all achievements gears, and most if not all seasonal event stuff

#

Then your glamour dresser can function as a temporary gear storage if you are that desperate for space

lime geode
#

What are achievement gears?

spiral ridge
#

yo quick question. im soloing born again anima. if im doing the quest as a bard, do i have to do the dungeons with bard? or can i do it on a different class to get the quest done??

sly vessel
#

if i buy the complete edition then resubbed, i should still have access til shb right?

agile laurel
#

iirc, born again anima requires the weapon to be equipped as you exit the duty

twilit arch
#

gear rewarded from achievements

agile laurel
#

so uh, that kinda answers your own question

lime geode
#

Like the full set of gear for hitting 50 on a job, or something else?

honest anvil

Are the crafting materials dropped from basic monsters (those you see on the road) worth keeping? at all?
