Would be a idea to grab accessories since the game doesn't give you good accessories really until 50

#

Equip the soul stone you're given

wraith heart
#

primal relic

MSQ only gave me blue ring so far

#

@wide cave kugane or rhalgr's reach, should be a rowena vendor there

wide cave
#

obsidian patio
#

Talk to Aelina, if it’s the ironworks gear

#

Oh scaevan

#

Still should be the NPC right by them

analog gate
#

better to use the one in kugane imo
the one in rhalgr's use the old UI i think?

wide cave
#

DoW 1 and 2

wispy parcel

I will finish the end of 2.4 and 2.5 tomorrow, i really thought i could reach HeavenSword today but 2.2-2.4 took me 6 hours 😦 And i can't lose my focus for the 2.5

obsidian patio

#

how can I hide my crafting log from other players?

#

I don't want them to see what I'm crafting

remote lintel
#

they have to turn it off

#

from their side

leaden ginkgo
#

so I have to hide

remote lintel
#

I mean sure

#

you can craft in the middle of nowhere

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a radius where I can be sure they wont get notified?

strange coral
#

Or craft in a personal apartment or house where no one else is allowed in

leaden ginkgo
#

at the inn

strange coral
#

That too

dapper oyster
#

do you guys have the guide on how to move a character into another server?

remote lintel
#

you mean transfer or world visit

dapper oyster
#

transfer

remote lintel
wide cave
#

money @dapper oyster

#

18 euros i think

remote lintel
#

18 usd

dapper oyster
#

hm thats quite expensive for me but...

karmic niche
#

:D ye

dapper oyster
#

but my friends are in other server

karmic niche
#

You could make a character there?

dapper oyster
#

i already got 2 maxed class here so...

#

i guess i should save more for now lol

#

well most of the time i visited their world

#

but i believe it would be better if we are in the same free company

karmic niche
#

Oh i see, why not just use cross server chat thingy?

#

Or party up?

plain python
#

I can only carry a single 2-star or 3-star card for my deck?

#

will I be able to carry more?

proud willow
#

You eventually unlock the ability to have 4 3-stars plus 1 5-star

plain python
#

what is the better way to deal with random dungeon gear? Turn them for seals or desynth them?

earnest wigeon
#

does anyone know what "head graze" works on? It always says it doesnt work or something when I use it on a mob

dusk merlin
#

If they're casting a spell/ability with a red glowing bar you can interrupt it

earnest wigeon
#

where about on the screen does that show up

#

cause idk if that color changes when i have colorblind mode on

dusk merlin
#

Next to their health bar, it also has a small little expanding effect to it

wide cave
#

does anybody remember which patch started the SHB storyline?

earnest wigeon
#

hmm, i'll look for it next time. thanks :)

wispy parcel
#

technically the seeds for ShB storyline were planted with the 3.4 patch

dusk merlin
#

What's a good way to take AST for a test drive that isn't potd

wide cave
#

@dusk merlin just go into heavensward dungeons

dusk merlin
#

It's level 30 though

wide cave
#

oh right i forgot

dusk merlin
#

I figure I can read the tooltips real quick and do leveling roulette

wispy parcel
#

low level AST doesnt really play anything like it does later on

dusk merlin
#

Just doing a sanity check on that before I do it though

lime geode
#

I've got my 485 weapon, is the next one I'm aiming for Allergory weapon?

wide cave
#

dont worry too much about it, ast is insanely fun

#

i sometimes feel like getting seizures from earthly star animation but other than that..

signal pond
#

does being in a party affect drops? im working on the yokai events and havent gotten a legendary since i partied up, thats just shite luck yeah?

leaden ginkgo
#

Changing grand companies does not affect squadron status right?

wispy parcel
#

Well the Resistance Weapons will be grindable soon

#

once the big grind for it comes out in 5.35

leaden ginkgo
#

@signal pond If it's anything like the original event, legendaries just sometimes don't wanna drop

#

the yaren't a guarantee like normal medals.

twilit arch
#

rng is rng for legendary medals

lime geode
#

So stick with the 485 with 5 materia for now?

signal pond
#

lmao good thing i got til oct

twilit arch
#

being in a party doesn't affect drop rate

signal pond
#

i knoew it's a 20-30% rate

#

but it just halted for 3 hours once a joined a friend in the same area

dusk merlin
#

@finite swift Custom deliveries is a great way to get scrip if you have the stats for it

wispy parcel
#

If you want to grind for the 490 weapons and above thats your call. Relic weapons are usually lower I-level than the Savage weapons, but better than the tombstone weapons

signal pond
#

ty yall♥

leaden ginkgo
#

Is road to 70 per account

#

Meaning you can only have it once per account

twilit arch
#

no, road to 70 applies whenever you make a new character on a preferred world

leaden ginkgo
#

Thought so

Thank you, Kael

is there any penalty in wanting to switch classes while you're continuing through the story? at the moment, i'm mainly doing fates for the event, but wanted to try and learn about black magic.

deft yarrow
#

I'm having trouble with dragoon and understanding how to unlock nastrond? (I think it's called)

wispy parcel
#

No penalty other than having to level it from level 1

#

but it doesnt take very long

deft yarrow
#

I have to use jump whilst in life of the dragon to unlock mirage dive right?

glad comet
#

You need to use mirage dive twice

deft yarrow
#

and then use mirage dive to open the dragon eye right?

#

cause when I use mirage dive the eye doesn't open

glad comet
#

you then use geshi

#

you have to use mirage twice

deft yarrow
#

I've used it like 10 times in a row lol

glad comet
#

Twice

deft yarrow
#

eye doesn't open

glad comet
#

are you even in

#

blood of the dragon

deft yarrow
#

and I don't drop life of the dragon

unborn dock
#

if i switch to black mage, will my conjurer / white mage levels still remain the same? how do i switch back to that class if i want to take a break from black mage?

#

apologies for so many questions!

deft yarrow
#

yea blood of the dragon

wispy parcel
#

You can make gear sets that switch you back and forth from one job to another

glad comet
#

You use Geirskogul to use nastrond @deft yarrow

deft yarrow
#

The eye don't open

glad comet
#

That's how

wispy parcel
#

and your other jobs will not be effected

deft yarrow
#

I'm using mirage and geri

#

a bunch

glad comet
#

have you been doing your job quest

#

you cannot unlock nastrond without completing lvl 70 job quest

deft yarrow
#

I'll check

glad comet
#

...

#

Do your job quests mate

deft yarrow
#

I haven't played in over a year

#

I'm pretty sure I did

hi guys can someone help me for a holmgang macro mine keeps effin up

marble drift
#

Why do you need to macro it?

warped nest
#

What's your current macro?

#

notify people that holmgang is being used, I guess?

marble drift
#

useless imo

#

if your healers are that inattentive you're dead anyway.

#

cooldowns like that appear on your character as first buff. They should know you're under those effects

anyone know when the new character creation restrictions are usually lifted?

!faq serverlock

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

marble drift
#

It depends on the servers active times

faint flare
#

It changes dramatically throughout the day

warped nest
#

The general recommendation is, try on "God forsaken, why I am up this early" hours

marble drift
#

or "holy shit I should've been in bed many hours ago"

#

whatever works

wispy parcel
#

Gil is one of the most populous servers in the game as well

#

so the down time might be at like 4am

woeful chasm

rough. thanks for the help

fringe lotus
#

So im doing AST rn and I just got Aspected Benefic, do I just dump Benefic and Benefic 2?

faint flare
#

No

#

Its basically white mage regen with a small upfront heal

#

For alot more mana

fringe lotus
#

What about just basic Benefic tho? thinking about just going benefic 2 and aspected

leaden ginkgo
#

if u spam cf/pb do u get the tomes every time or just the first time per week? my friend is wondering if he should spam but i cant tell since im capped on tomes and never bothered to check mewpaissa

marble drift
#

Yeah basic bitch benefic is Cure 1

#

and you don't use Cure 1

faint flare
#

Benefic 1, like with cure 1 Is the lowest priority heal

#

When you're out of everything and mana

deft quiver
#

can i go into jade stoa ext without knowing mechanics, or is there something i need to know?

marble drift

yeah just fuck around

#

its fun times

#

mount farms arn't srs biznes

faint flare
#

Well, if the first phase is dps handled properly, you'll skip torando

#

And that whole stupid thing

marble drift
#

or you could just beat up the giant tiger man

faint flare
#

You dont burn him down constantly, you stop for a moment to let him get into the spinning ball mechanic then you nuke him

marble drift
#

for shits n giggles

#

But then boring tornado

wraith heart
#

at what level can i start joining 8-man raids? i am using the free to play version if that matters

faint flare
#

Lv50

marble drift
#

its not bad Vinyl you big baby

faint flare
#

Bruh i.just /follow and make food

marble drift
#

you can officially join them at 50

#

but no-ones going to do the old coils.

wraith heart
#

thanks @marble drift

remote lintel
#

the lvl 50 8 man raids are bahamut and nobody does those synced

#

they're also really hard

marble drift
#

at 60 you may be able to find some old Alexander raiders.

#

and they're not nearly as hard

#

on normal

#

but if you want to do challenging stuff you're gonna need to buy the game and get to cap

wraith heart
#

i am only level 30 and just unlocked the scholar job. i really enjoy the duty raids but dont like the normal quests where i just find npcs and play fetch

#

is it possible to level to 50 from fighting ifrit and abandon main quests?

marble drift
#

That...roughly stops after a while

thick elm
#

Nobody does old chum FeelsBadMan

marble drift
#

it IS possible to grind to 50

remote lintel
#

everything is locked behind the story

marble drift
#

but you can't experiance the MSQ out of sequence

remote lintel
#

so no

marble drift
#

each one is locked behind another

wraith heart
#

😫 i really enjoy the game and will get the subscription when i reach the level cap of the free-to-play version but the grind to get to the endgame is so long

remote lintel
#

it's not a grind to endgame

#

the entire experience of the game is doing story

#

at purely endgame you're going to run out of things to do

marble drift
#

This is a Final Fantasy game first

#

and an MMO 2nd

#

but they're not split. they are still 1 part

lavish vortex
#

hi!, i wanna desynth some Seiryu Weapons, but i never desynthesized before, i just did the quest to unlock it. What class should i level up the desynthesis with to be able to desynth Seiryu Paladin Shield? and is there some kind of guide to level up desynth?

wraith heart
#

I feel guilty because I always skip the cinematics because there're no VA and there's too much small texts

remote lintel
#

you can make the window bigger

marble drift
#

the class that repairs the weapon is the class that can desynth them. so blacksmith in most cases

#

not every cutscene has voice acting

wraith heart
#

do people usually read through every single dialogue?

marble drift
#

of course

remote lintel
#

yes

faint flare
#

Yes

marble drift
#

its a story

remote lintel
#

do people read every sentence in a book

#

ofc they do

marble drift
#

how ELSE do you read stories?

wraith heart
#

i did that at the start but then when they keep asking me to play fetch i got tired of it lol

remote lintel
#

it gets better

twilit arch
#

@lavish vortex shield is armourer so you need that to desynth it. leveling desynthesis is literally find the highest lvl stuff that you can desynth for that crafter and desynth it

remote lintel
#

if you actually enjoy a good story then read

wraith heart
#

ok I will start reading 🙂 thank you so much @remote lintel and @marble drift

remote lintel
#

it will be worth it

marble drift
#

To be fair. It starts off really slow

#

but at 40ish it gets fast

#

and good

wraith heart
#

I like the beginning when I was on a ship arriving to Limsa

lavish vortex
#

@twilit arch thanks a lot!!! and do i have a better chance to get a Seiryu Scale if my desynth level is higher? or that doesnt change that?

wraith heart
#

I get the fresh off the boat feeling, starting an adventure

remote lintel
#

the story picks up near the end of the base game

#

and into the expansions

twilit arch
#

yes, if your desynth level is equal or higher you have a chance of getting better drops from desynthing it

lavish vortex
#

thanks again!

twilit arch
#

just to mention seiryu's weapons desynth levels are 395

lavish vortex
#

thanks, and where do i check my character's desynth level?

twilit arch
#

in your character info, in the crafter levels

#

there's a second bar underneath, can also click on the crafter level to open up the desynth level window

lavish vortex
#

found it, thanks!

Rested Experience FAQ

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

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

'How much of a boost is it?'

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

solemn halo
#

what do they do?

#

armor/mounts?

marble drift

good xp too.

mounts, minions, furniture, exp

Can you over meld the Neo ishgardian set?

simple shore
#

Yes but you shouldnt

#

because you cannot overmeld Augmented Neo Ishgardian

#

which should be your target

radiant brook
#

how do you get the 490 neo ishgard gear?

simple shore
#

NPC in the center section of Eulmore. It'll cost you a certain number of Undersea Rain's (sold by the same NPC) and then you turn in your gear for certificates, trade those plus the rains for the augmented pieces

patent citrus
#

is gunbreaker require you to do double weave?

simple shore
#

Rains cost Phanta to get

#

@patent citrus its not..."required", but your opener will such if you dont.

blazing crest
#

Will i be able to craft the neo ishgardian set with a level 80 weaver?

simple shore
#

Not the entire set.

#

and the stats required to craft it are quite high

#

so just "being level 80" is insufficient

mental garnet
#

where can i go to find a hunt CWLS?

simple shore
mental garnet
#

ah, thanks

#

i did post a request there for aether, but seems like everything's full for now

patent citrus

@simple shore would you recommend me to start my tank exp as gunbreaker?

#

i have 173 ms

simple shore
#

No, and i wouldnt suggest Dark Knight either at 173.

blazing crest
#

Do Paladin.

clever willow
#

Is there any way i can switch camera movement to right click and self movement to left click?

simple shore
#

I would start out with WAR

sour laurel
#

Is free trial ineligible for OTP, and by extension, free tp?

#

I'm guessing 4th favored tp is also out

blazing crest
#

So to be able to craft the whole neo ishgardian set, i should make all crafters?

simple shore
#

You'll need access to most of them yes. Not CUL, but everything else you'll either end up using to craft an item, or using to craft a component.

#

That answer goes for basically any similar question by the way

marble drift
#

Bal I can safely say that dark knight isn't difficult with that ping

#

im on 130

#

and played DRK just fine

heady orbit
#

Is worth to spend time or reading every msq?

#

On*

marble drift
#

there are SkS tiers for the latency challenged

simple shore
#

A single crafter at max level other than CUL is relatively useless and will cost you more gil than it saves

a 2.40 gcd setup will set you right

leaden ginkgo
#

what is the AST stat priority?

simple shore
#

@marble drift Hah, i'll take your word for it, but at 173 i imagine that the risk of missing 5th hit on Blood Weapon is relatively high.

marble drift
#

rather than the BiS set which has you at 2.43 iirc

#

it is

#

but it has the Warrior effect

#

blood weapon 2/3rds into your gcd

#

or don't hit it

stable herald
#

Does adding materia to your gear really make such a huge difference in damage output?

marble drift

yes

like, could someone give me a %?

blazing crest
#

What end game set would yall recommend for a paladin?

simple shore
#

Enough that you should just do it.

mental garnet
#

what's harder, war or drk? he did say it's his first tank

simple shore
#

WAR is braindead easy

marble drift
#

both are easy

simple shore
#

DRK is much more difficult

mental garnet
#

so he should go with the easier one

marble drift
#

nah fam

simple shore
#

Silver, from a complete noobs perspective

marble drift
#

Yeah no still

simple shore
#

DRK is objectively harder than WAR

stable herald
#

im debating if I should try dabbling into putting materia, but as far as I've seen, there is not, like, an allrounder materia build?

simple shore
#

you cannot argue that

marble drift
#

right but its not "lots harder"

mental garnet
#

i also think there's value in starting at level 1

simple shore
#

Okay whatever, you're wrong, moving on

marble drift
#

its the 2nd easiest

#

and not 30

#

@stable herald pre level 70, just stack as much crit as you can, then direct hit rate

marble drift
#

no Aoi

#

but your gear would be fine for summoner

Thanks

is there anything really important that i cant do in the free trial or should i just wait til i hit the cap to buy the full game

hey so I was following this guide -> https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/221926-Getting-to-30-Getting-Over-the-Triple-Triad-Beginner-s-Hurdle and the NPCs ive tried literally dont talk to me about cards

Getting to 30 - Getting Over the Triple Triad Beginner's Hurdle

"Why 30 cards?", you ask. When you collect 30 different Triple Triad cards, your deck capacity recieves an upgrade. You'll be able to add 2* cards to your hand in any number, meaning only 3*+ cards are restricted. While a similar extension exists at 60 cards (3* becomes unl...

did everything get changed?

simple shore
#

idk if everything got changed, but

#

I hate to ask the obvious here - you did set up decks to use already by going to Character -> Gold Saucer -> Card Decks, right?

unreal sierra
#

yes

#

i'm challenging a bunch of people just those aren't available and they don't have any requirements listed in the wiki

honest anvil
#

is there a way to auto target the member with the lowest hp? to heal

simple shore
#

No

honest anvil
#

ouch playdead

simple shore
#

@unreal sierra what do you mean by

just those arent available

unreal sierra
#

they don't have any option to select challenge to a game or anything

#

only their quest

#

doesn't help 90% of the rest of the NPCs they start you against throw 9/8 three stars at you

simple shore
#

Most NPC's that are questgivers wont play with you until you do their quests

worthy summit
#

@honest anvil the quickest way to do this is by pressing corresponding F1-F8 key to the party list

unreal sierra
#

not sure what the goal is there

faint flare
#

No

unreal sierra
#

i got lucky with nidhogg for example, got the card, then go to play a guy, whoops the rule is order so I literally cannot use nidhogg

totally fair

Wondrous tales is the shortcut for faux hallows

is frontline good for leveling?

It's gonna take a while to get the mount that's for certain unless you get lucky and get the 100 leaf

Its just a extra thing to.work on slowly

starting to wonder if triple triad is even possible to break into without spending like MGP or something

deft quiver

whats the fastest lvl 80 dungeon to run?

faint flare
#

They all kinda melt

simple shore
#

@deft quiver are you asking for a specific reason?

rotund sable
#

Twinning used to be the fastest in my experience

worthy summit
#

@stable hinge Frontline gives a bunch of EXP for the class you queued as. I'd still rate is as worse than Leveling though

deft quiver
#

im just trying to run for allegory and wanna do the fastest one

#

bored and no trains running rn

unreal sierra

yes literally impossible, I just baited this guy into losing, got nidhogg into a spot where I could take 2, and he happens to have an A in the direction nidhogg has an A. So I think it's brokebn

plus i need phantasma

Thanks

faint flare

Do the ones that are in expert

So heroes gauntlet/anamedsis

simple shore

Triple Triad is definitely not broken.

stable hinge
#

is it worse than leveling when you already done your daily reward?

faint flare
#

The other 80 dungeons dont give much

rotund sable
#

Gauntlet is probably faster than anem

#

But newer so higher chance of less efficient pulls

solid oxide
#

ok, so ive started lance story.. can i do lets say conjurerer story at teh same time?

faint flare
#

Yes

solid oxide
#

Oh, thats sick

worthy summit
#

You don't queue for leveling or frontline more than once a day. The bonus is one time @stable hinge

faint flare
#

When you unlock it

#

And you level it

stable hinge
#

fair enough

lone zephyr
#

Can i feed my chocobo in free trial?

glad comet

@solid oxide can interchange between classes seemlessly

ive just been spamming leveling so I can reach lv50 and do the decent roulettes

simple shore

@lone zephyr No

lone zephyr

AAAAA

#

kill me

simple shore
#

I assume you mean for color changing / training

rotund sable

Don't spam roulettes, after doing your daily POTD/highest level dungeon are your friends

lone zephyr
#

Ya

simple shore

and both of these require stables which you cannot access in free trial

lone zephyr

I want pink gae chocobo

stable hinge

Thank you

#

can you solo potd or does it queue you?

solid oxide

wait, what does samurai come from?

ive only done it once with some friends before

You can solo but it's slower

copper arrow

Just help us get a better understanding of the game etc

marble drift
#

well you're welcome to ask specific questions

turbid crystal
#

how do you speak to Raid? (the orange text)

marble drift
#

go out and fumble around for a bit. game pretty much explains all the basics to you already

#

in alliances? its /a

turbid crystal
#

i just finished my first raid (no alliance), and I don't know what's going on, and just cruising along

marble drift
#

thats fine

#

alliance raids arn't meant to be challenging

#

just fun

#

go in and fail a bunch. its literally the norm

turbid crystal
#

i see them talk, but I don't know how to talk back, I can only select Party/Alliance, but I don't belong in an Alliance, and Party is just 8 ppl?

marble drift
#

oh if it wasn't an alliance raid

#

then just party will do

turbid crystal
#

it's quite fun to run along in the raid see ppl talking, it seems like they enjoy running newbies

stable hinge
#

lucky

turbid crystal
#

i see, thanks

stable hinge
#

every alliance raid ive been in theres just drama between other players

copper arrow

Ok I see, I’ll ask a ton of questions so that’s why I asked if anyone on ps4, so they can join our party and help us out

hi!, in teamcraft desynth guide i see this 3 parameters: chances, exp and very common. What are the exact meanings of those? lower or higher chances of what? very common compared to what?

📎 Screen_Shot_2020-08-25_at_11.29.31_PM.jpg
obsidian patio
#

Chances means nothing anymore since success rate is 100% for everything now

#

As for common I assume that means how easy it is to get those items, as those can be bought from a vendor

#

And for EXP you get more desynth points when you desynth stuff at/above your desynth level

lavish vortex
#

niceeee!!

#

thanks man!

halcyon knoll

can I world transfer and get some gil for my house? or do I have to relinquish and lose it for free?

Which job has the best aoe dps

Huh. I'd have to think it would be ninja up there

but not alot of people track that

but so do alot of classes

#

FREE TRIAL LIMITS YOUR GIL?

marble drift
#

yes.

lone zephyr
#

R U KIDDING ME?

marble drift
#

mate

#

if it didn't

#

botters would go rampant

lone zephyr
#

Troo

marble drift
#

If you're at the point where you gil is limited

#

just...buy the game

#

you clearly enjoy it

lone zephyr
#

Is there a bank or something where i can store the 300 k so i can start getting more?

marble drift
#

Not on a trial

finite walrus
#

the only way you can get more is by buying stuff

lone zephyr
#

just...buy the game
Yea and homeless people should just buy a house right?
Lmao

finite walrus
#

the closest thing to a bank is a retainer... and you cant use that :/

marble drift
#

If you can't afford the game

#

then you should take whats offered to you

#

rather than complain

lone zephyr
#

Still what's the point of limiting the gil with the excuse of stopping botters when you can't even trade, mail or do something with it?

They're just baiting the buy and im annoyed at the fact that it's working

rotund sable
#

the reason the free trial is so limited is because if it was more open people with bad intentions would run rampant on infinite accounts

simple shore
#

Limiting the gil is a completely logical action

obsidian patio
#

Letting trial players trade would make RMT much more rampant

elder meteor
#

hmm the wiki seems outdated for some of this stuff. can you get squadron members from completing any challenge log category or does it have to be certain ones?

marble drift
#

any

elder meteor
#

cool. in that case I'll go do some fates. thanks!

marble drift
#

its chance based. increased with the item available from squadrons

simple shore
#

If Gil Cap on Trial didnt exist, botters would bot trial accounts to the actual gil cap (999,999,999) and then sell the account

obsidian patio
#

Pretty much all categories but eureka and I think chocobo companion

marble drift
#

Bal's right

#

they cap out on trial

#

then purchase base game, immediately trade it away to a holding account and delete

#

and go again

elder meteor
#

the chocobo stuff is in the battle section...which is annoying because I can't actually get to anything to fight comparable to my level -.-

marble drift
#

they've just evaded like 3 months of subscription

twilit arch
#

Could just find a fate that has lots of kill x mobs and use that

elder meteor
#

oh 'cause it scales. good call

#

still can't do wondrous tails, whatever that is

#

something in an expansion I haven't gotten to yet

#

main story gated

marble drift
#

well you should probably focus on that Amaria

elder meteor
#

I am. just trying to do the dungeons/raids/etc with my brother

simple shore

MSQ gates basically everything

marble drift
#

ah so you're waiting for him?

yeah

marble drift
#

thats understandable

#

get him to get a move on then

#

lazy bum 😛

elder meteor
#

I'm nearly at the end of the arr stuff. just need to do the 24man raids

lone zephyr
#

They could just make the cap 2M just so it doesn't feel low and also makes the botting idea not worth it

I have no idea about the rates so i might be wrong.

300k is enough to gear you and repair your stuff

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

Collector’s upgrade sale ends 27?

elder meteor

is there anything in-game to show the daily reset (any other timers keyed off it that I can view in-game)?

marble drift
#

there is a command to bring up timers

#

and I believe leve allowance is functionally your daily reset clock

#

default is Ctrl+U iirc?

elder meteor
#

yeah. nothing on there seems to reset at that time

#

for me anyway

#

I'll just try to remember that it's 10am and go from there lol

marble drift
#

good plan

elder meteor
#

just convenient that all the other timers are in timers. was hoping something in there would be keyed off it just for convenience

How do I travel to limsa
I'm at Utah rn
And travelling back costs like 450 gold do I have to pay to travel or is there a airship I can use

There is. Assuming you've reached that point in the MSQ Tahm

I'm lv 20 rn

marble drift

your level doesn't matter. the MSQ you're at matters

vital ruin

Ya I'm supposed to go back to limsa

halcyon knoll

can I world transfer and get some gil for my house? or do I have to relinquish and lose it for free?

vital ruin

I just got that airship minion

marble drift

you'd have to sell your house before Fox

Right Tahm. head back to the airship area you arrived from

#

In Limsa and Uldah its reached via elevator

halcyon knoll

and do I get gil? lol

marble drift

you'd get some iirc.

vital ruin

Where is that elevator btw I'm bad with directions :/

How exactly does uploading to fflogs work? Do i just record gameplay and submit it? Is there something to do with ACT for the parsing side of things?

marble drift

In Uldah? head back to the adventurers guild and it'll be at the end of that big market strip

FFLogs is for the ACT plugin Ace.

If I change race and change back later, do I keep my original appearance?

shrewd owl

if u saved the appearance data ye

slate crow

And I do that on the screen where I select the character?

you would've have to saved data on creation

twilit arch

at the character select screen, you can right click on your character to save appearance

oh. today I learned another thing

I should go do that considering I changed computers and didn't save all my old data

alright this is bad, so to enter amaurot i need at least 410 gear score while mine is 407 and thats the best eq i had atm @@
what should i do?

did you get your class armor?

im using the MSQ armor

u mean class armor from level 70?

is there a channel where i can ask people if anyone wants to run a dungeon :<

solid oxide

but what about the main story and such, i cant do what im at as a level 1 archer

marble drift

there are alternate means to leveling

#

and a bonus for leveling new classes lower level than your highest

solid oxide

levequests and such?

how to get that class armor?

marble drift

levequests are not great for combat classes

simple shore
#

@dapper oyster go to The Tempest ( 34.3 , 25.5 )

where do i get lvl 80 crafting gear from?

😮

nice

dapper oyster

ok i will try

#

@normal breach crafting. or scrips. That's the options.

solid oxide
#

scripts?

normal breach
#

what scrips?

#

the one in crystarium?

simple shore
#

White Crafters Scrips

#

you know, from collectable turnins

#

in Eulmore

normal breach
#

i only get yellow ones

left moth
#

crafting 80 from scratch takes a while so would recommend white scrip set as a start (unless want to pay to not craft your own i.e. facet set)

normal breach
#

o i havent gotten to eulmore yet

simple shore
#

Well then craft things that give you White scrips

#

Oh you're MSQ gated? Then go do that first.

marble drift
#

you have an 80 crafter before you finished Shadowbringers?

go finish Shadowbringers holy heck

oh wow i have 416 gear score now, thanks 😄

just by doing grand company turn ins lmao

#

Items you get from rowena at 60 are better than lvl 60 artifact, right?

normal breach
#

ive been playing game for like 3-4 months and im just now starting shadowbringers today

dapper oyster
#

wait is that mean i have to do the chain class quest for my healer too?

weary burrow
#

should i do coil of bahamut even without a quest for it

marble drift
#

No

simple shore
#

@weary burrow Your question makes no sense?

twilit arch
#

yes, you need to do the appropriate role quests to unlock your lvl 80 job gear

weary burrow
#

i dunno, there was no quest for crystal tower but i heard i had to do that as well xD

#

so i did xD

twilit arch
#

so if you haven't done the healer role quest, then you'll have to do that first before grenoldt will sell the healer lvl 80 gear

marble drift
#

There was a quest

#

there definately was a quest

simple shore
#

I mean, there's absolutely a quest for both of them,so i dont understand your question at all

#

Viper Dusk: augmented shire set? yes it's much better than most of the af2 (i200) sets (with exception to gunbreaker and dancer sets which is less a benefit)

you've probably just skipped all the cutscenes and text

What’s the earliest Stormblood area you can access flying in?

weary burrow
#

kk cool ill just wait then

hollow tree
#

where should i ask if anybody is free to do a quick dungeon with me ;-; i'm at a msq and it's locked me until completion of this dungeon... duty finder seems dead right now too (idk if this is the best place to ask though :<)

twilit arch
#

ruby sea @bold flume

warped nest
#

Ruby Sea

bold flume
#

Thanks because the fringes was looking like a flop

left moth
#

fringes and peaks flying unlocks later in sb msq

simple shore
#

@hollow tree this isnt the place to ask for that.

marble drift
#

fringes is a 2 part. you come back to that later

#

so it gates flying until then

bold flume
#

Ah fair enough

dapper oyster
#

so i clamined summoner's
so if i want to claim BLM's i need to take those quest again for this kind of equipment?

remote lintel
#

no

twilit arch
#

no

left moth
#

yanxia also unlocks later (67) after its dungeon, azim is next flying zone after ruby sea

remote lintel
#

blm falls under magic dps

twilit arch
#

you just need to get lvl 80 on blm

simple shore
#

Just switch to BLM

#

and pick up the gear

remote lintel
#

theres healer, tank, physical dps, magic dps

twilit arch
#

you already completed the appropriate role quest for them

dapper oyster
#

TECHNOLOGY i love it

marble drift
#

There are small sidequests availble for each class

twilit arch
#

no, pack

dapper oyster
#

sadly BLM still 40, just askin :p
my AST is 80 tho but that means i have to do the chain quest first

marble drift
#

give some materia and some backstory

twilit arch
#

yanxia is unlockable when you get there

#

The dungeon isn't required

left moth
#

pretty sure ||doma castle|| is msq required

twilit arch
#

it is

#

but that doesnt' give you the final aether current

dapper oyster
#

but then how good is this equipment compared to the upcoming equipment like phantasmagoria and allegory?

twilit arch
#

the final aether current for yanxia is the msq before you head to azim steppes

remote lintel
#

not as good

simple shore
#

Its trash Kyn. Absolutely the minimum gear to get you started.

marble drift
#

You can look at the ilevel for that kyn

#

the start gear is 430. the upgraded crystarium gear from allegory is 500

left moth
#

kyn: need to complete title drop quest for tomestone equipment (although hunt equipment should be available)

granite swan
#

Whats quickest way to level gathers in ishgard restoration? just do laps or is there some turn ins for super xp like crafters get?

twilit arch
#

do laps around the zone, make sure you have manual + food running

and then once you're done approve em

granite swan
#

Manuals from uh gc?

left moth
#

chase the gaelikitten sofieSmug

simple shore
#

Make sure you're hitting both paths on each island

twilit arch
#

yeah, gc manuals should be good until....60 i think

#

and then the yellow scrip manuals are better

simple shore
#

Doubtful

marble drift
#

I don't see why they would need to?

simple shore
#

UI functions as is, why does it need updated

left moth
#

revised engineering manual (yellow scrip) is good to 80

simple shore
#

Why are you dragging and dropping

#

Thats the worst possible way to do turnins

#

Right click on the spot you are dragging it

granite swan
#

double right click ? :p

simple shore
#

and it will pop up the item list next to that slot

#

and select from that list

granite swan
#

oh, i always just double right click item since first option is always "give item"

simple shore
#

there's no reaon to be manually dragging and dropping

granite swan
#

oh god my eyes, the evil light theme

left moth
#

right click/square to auto select submissions has been a thing for a while

simple shore
#

Its been a thing since day 1 of the game

#

All quest turnins with the "hand over an item" dialogue allow you to right click to quick turnin

#

manual drag is never required, and always a bad idea

remote lintel
#

it does

left moth
#

if can't submit anything to restoration make sure it's enough quality

opal bough
#

Do I really need a full time to do treasure maps?

simple shore
#

a what?

#

try that question again

remote lintel
#

full party?

#

in which case no

left moth
#

like a full party? (only for maps that have dungeons and can usually get away with 4 people for lv 60 and 70 maps. for 80 dungeon maps depends on healer and tank skills)

gentle juniper
#

is it advised to play on a preferred world? and when playing, what is 15 days free play time(2)?
I was only doing trial first so wasn't sure if that even applies to a trial user.

remote lintel
#

you can def do 4 people on a lvl 80 map

left moth
#

yes prefered worlds are prefered (road to 70 buff)

granite swan
#

@gentle juniper If you get Lv 30 on preferred you get bonus 15 days free when you buy/start a sub

#

one time thing tho

left moth
#

i suspect the free play time part hasn't been updated with expanded trial (usually applied to starter edition only since arr in some form gave 30 days time)

gentle juniper
#

Ohh ok so it applies once u buy it. Kk that makes sense.
My only other question was under the NA Data Center. WHy are there 33 regions?

remote lintel
#

what

gentle juniper
#

Does that mean I can't play with ppl from the other 2 like primal and crystal?

remote lintel
#

yes

left moth
#

NA has 3 datacenters, and each datacenter has the indiviual servers

remote lintel
#

you can't play with people on other data centers

left moth
#

can only play within a datacenter

gentle juniper
#

Ohh. I'm in like south / central area, is there one I should play on?

halcyon glen
#

You can play with people from and server on your data center however

#

Any

remote lintel
#

all NA servers are located in the sam eplace

left moth
#

(in sacramento, cal)

remote lintel
#

oh i thought it was sanfran

left moth
#

if question which NA dc is "best" (ignoring prefered server incentives) can ping them and see what is average best

tidal yarrow
#

what's a "Primal"?

remote lintel
#

they explain it

#

in the story

verbal token
#

hello do i need 100% HQ the craft to make Seeing Horde Axe or else it will fail?

twilit arch
#

you don't need to HQ it, just need to complete the progress bar

verbal token
#

awesome ty

left moth
#

in game terms a primal is a (usually) protective creature that is created out of will of its followers in order to do something in their stead

remote lintel
#

not really

left moth
#

I'm not saying the exceptions :p

halcyon glen
#

If ya want lots more primal discussion I’d check #archived-lore-spoilers, I’m sure our friends there can tell you more than you want to know about primals

tidal yarrow
#

:o oh

halcyon willow
#

Where can i go to find a wife?

left moth
remote lintel
#

not here

halcyon glen
#

I’m choosing not to take this out of context

simple shore
#

I'm choosing to take it in context

halcyon willow
#

Hahah
I'm trying to get the big white chocobo and I can't find anyone

simple shore
#

Put up a PF then. And dont ask here.

marble drift
#

or organize with with a friend

crimson notch
#

is there any updated guide for foods?

halcyon glen
#

I don’t think BiS foods changed in 5.3?

marble drift
#

foods as in? yeah individual classes may have swapped BiS lists and thus food

#

but...yeah everythings the same

halcyon glen
#

I mean best for a given stat combo

#

What class ya looking for or are you just deciding what to sell for profit?

left moth
#

the only new foods are new crafting ones. for combat food hasn't changed (stuffed highland cabbage is overall safest choice unless need extra spell speed for blm)

halcyon glen
#

There’s more options than that

marble drift
#

or sks for certain builds

crimson notch
#

uhm. anyone can refer me to a guide actually? only seen ones from 2 years ago

halcyon glen
#

Sausage and sauerkraut, for example, is popular

marble drift
#

Just...tell us what you're playing Xiu

#

and i'll just tell you what to get

halcyon glen
#

Or just head over to The Balance and grab all of the BiS lists for yourself. Works wonderfully as well.

crimson notch
#

doing all classes, tnk, hlr, melee, range magic dps all lvl 63~64 ish same time, now at dragonsong war

halcyon glen
#

Oh then nothing

marble drift
#

then it doesnt matter what food you eat

#

it only matters for endgame raiding

halcyon glen
#

I’m a huge fan of raisins

marble drift
#

orange juice life

left moth
#

at 63 would just use boiled eggs or something cheap from a vendor. it doesn't matter enough

halcyon glen
#

OJ is also good

#

Normies use boiled eggs

crimson notch
#

i see. thanks

halcyon glen
#

The purpose of food at your level is that sweet sweet 3% exp buff

inland talon
#

should I just sell the armor pieces I got from the MSQ after I get the endgame stuff?

marble drift
#

yeh

halcyon glen
#

Expansion MSQ gear is worth keeping

granite swan
#

Unless you like the look of it :p

halcyon glen
#

Also that

marble drift
#

even then, its re-buyable

inland talon
#

yeah I like some of them. is there somewhere else I can store it?

halcyon glen
#

Sure, but not at HQ unless you’re willing to put up with market board extortion

marble drift
#

yes. your armoire

granite swan
#

Glamour uh thingy ... Armoire?

halcyon glen
#

Nope

granite swan
#

or Dresser

halcyon glen
#

If you want to save it for alt jobs, throw it in a retainer inventory

dapper oyster
#

can i rewatch the cutscene that ive skipped?

halcyon glen
#

If you’re saving it for fashion reasons, the glamour dresser at your local inn

marble drift
#

oh I thought he meant job gear

granite swan
#

Yeah in your inn room

#

by the bed

halcyon glen
#

@dapper oyster yes, via the book in your local inn

marble drift
#

yeah sorry the armoire is for class job gear.

dapper oyster
#

oh so better skip everything on the dungeon and trial

marble drift
#

the glamor dresser is for other things

dapper oyster
#

it might be inconvenience to other

marble drift
#

nah

#

watch em

halcyon glen
#

Nah

inland talon
#

ok thanks you guys

marble drift
#

no-one minds

#

the dungeon ones aren't re-watchable

dapper oyster
#

oh no ._.

granite swan
#

Some places even unskippable ones ;p

marble drift
#

well. at least I don't think they are

halcyon glen
#

Most people are nice enough to wait for dungeon scenes anyway

#

And yes they are

dapper oyster
#

hopefully not that long

marble drift
#

if they arn't

#

then they're wankers

#

and you would be right to block em

granite swan
#

If they dont wait for you ... hey free xp for no effort :p

halcyon glen
#

There’s only one dungeon scene I think is way too long and that’s pre-boss in Toto Rak

dapper oyster
#

im going to do the last shadowbringer trial and i dont want to miss it T_T

marble drift
#

they literally cant start the trial

#

until you've watched it

#

and no-one minds

remote lintel
#

you absolutely should not skip trial cutscenes

marble drift
#

the cutscene is SICK

halcyon glen
#

Oh yeah no EVERYONE respects your right to watch cutscenes in SHB trials

#

Most people do in dungeons as well

#

Some people are assholes

tidal yarrow
#

i have a question, in what moment the prism is spent on the dresser? when from there you create a glamour plate?

marble drift
#

they're so fucking good in Shadowbringers holy shiiiiit

#

yes

#

on plate creation

halcyon glen
#

Nope

dapper oyster
#

those people need to get choked by ascian

marble drift
#

well. plate saving

halcyon glen
#

Glamour prism for the dresser is only spent when an item is placed in

remote lintel
#

^

#

not plates

marble drift
#

ohright its dyes Im thinking of

#

derp

#

DERP

tidal yarrow
#

oh wow, i spent 100 prisms whoops

remote lintel
#

you spend a prism each time you put an item in

tidal yarrow
#

they cheap atleastpanicdesu_hc

halcyon glen
#

Oh nooo, you spent a whole 20k company seals

marble drift
#

yeah prisms are not for hoarding

#

spend em!

#

get that fancy dress

tidal yarrow
#

yupyup

#

im always capped on company seals tho

remote lintel
#

buy cordials

halcyon glen
#

Just go run a level 80 dungeon or something and get literally all of them back in custom deliveries

marble drift
#

cordials are ALWAYS handy

tidal yarrow
#

i don't do GC stuff

#

cordials?

remote lintel
#

to sell

marble drift
#

for gatherers

#

they restore GP

#

you can sell em

tidal yarrow
#

oh i see

remote lintel
#

on the mb

#

not to vendors

tidal yarrow
#

yeye

marble drift
#

tidal yarrow
#

i am not that high rank on gc

#

i will check if i can buy

remote lintel
#

do your adventurer squadrons

granite swan
#

Is there a nice guide for squadrons? Ive found one guide but its more an overview

remote lintel
#

what about them

tidal yarrow
#

the lb3 is 5milion dmg?

#

melee

remote lintel
#

no

#

its a set potency

tidal yarrow
#

oh

halcyon glen
#

It’s 9000 potency if memory serves? Or was that caster/ranged

tidal yarrow
#

i thought it was just a number, i see

remote lintel
#

melee is 9k yes

marble drift
#

if it were fixed damage it would be bullshit on low level stufff and obsolete after a few expansions

granite swan
#

@remote lintel Just wondering if theres a quicker way to get them up levels? Mine are only like 19 and the lv training x3 doesnt seem to give much xp anymore

remote lintel
#

send them on missions?

tidal yarrow
#

so the lb3 damage depends also on your gear

little swift
#

!faq squadronguide

zinc orbitBOT
tidal yarrow
#

so if i know i have bad gear in comparison with the other melee i shouldn't use it

marble drift
#

no iirc it depends on the gear of your group?

little swift
#

Its hard to translate potencies directly to damage

granite swan
#

Ya thats the one i was reading, but they've failed every single mission >.>

remote lintel
#

train them to hit the goals

little swift
#

You need to adjust their attributed through training

remote lintel
#

get at least 2/3 of the numbers

twilit arch
#

generally, the melee that's doing the least/loses the less from the gcds spent casting should be using the lb3

#

but in pugs it doesn't really matter

marble drift
#

its a personal dps loss to LB but a group dps gain

gritty oracle
#

Does ilvl and weakness/brink influence lb damage?
