If you play on PC you could join your friends discord if they have any. Or add them to friends while you play.
But in the end, its really up to you - if you think guilds are what you really want then go for it. Its your decision and money. You also get retainers (bank+marketr board) with sub so theres that
wintry chasm
You get a bonus to xp gain and it's mostly just do dungeons a bunch for leveling alts
sour spoke
one raid tier consists of 4 bosses
hazy gorge
What is that? aura astra, the linkshell communities?
hazy gorge
Oh cool
Well, my friends refuse to play this game.
So I was kinda looking to explore the community of this game instead haha.
wintry chasm
Did you tell them there is a free trial that is the base game and first expansion?
unlimited time?
hazy gorge
Yeap.
wintry chasm

"It's an MMORPG, to much time"
Whilst wasting 2-3 thousand hours on the same old "MOBA.
limber crypt
To be more clear: Linkshells can chat between servers. Guilds dont span across servers.
hazy gorge
A waste essentially, but hey.. hobby and entertainment are worth something.
hazy gorge
@limber crypt Why didnt they make guilds cross-server? And the servers here seem really active.. so there should be some big active guilds I recon???
wintry chasm
They probably will one day Tutus, might be something about the code that makes it hard
hot eagle
probably since worldvisit wasn't even planned early on
wispy parcel
Guilds are mostly for socializing anyhow.
hazy gorge
True
sour spoke
They wanted to make all servers into one mega server too but who knows when that will happen
wispy parcel
Yea world visiting is a very recent addition

Sadly FFXIV has SOME systems that are bit odd - some systems that are build on top of older systems. Or just "ok we had this system but we thought this new one is better"
weary burrow
can u do 1 lvling roulette a day?

For a game that is 10 years old
wispy parcel
I mean
hazy gorge
That is fairly recent.
simple shore
The original design of the game was servers that were completely isolated from each other. The barriers between servers within datacenters have gradually been broken down over time.
wispy parcel
In context
median locust
You can do as many levelling roulettes as you want but you only get the exp bonus once a day
latent oracle
well since the virus everything is on hold so its basically new
weary burrow
ah
limber crypt
can u do 1 lvling roulette a day?
@weary burrow as many times as you want, you just get the daily reward once (and adventurer in need bonus is always if you are role it needs)
weary burrow
thnx
limber crypt
Its usually better to directly queue for level-approriet dungeon/duties
open coral
The only reason to do it more than once is if you have a max level in-need job and want the bonus stellaclusters from leveling roulette.
wintry chasm
@weary burrow aka only do it once a day
sour spoke
^
limber crypt
The XP in adventurer in need might seem lot but its really barely anything tbh.
And you get stellacrusters if you are 70+
Edit: Clusters are exchanged to materia that is expensive and needed at end-game. So either make gil that way or save GIL
sour spoke
the xp you gain from low level dungeons does not scale up to your level
or else spamming sastasha would be the fastest way to level

If you want to do EX trials, either join a PF group or make your own. Or for level 50 EX trials, you can simply solo them unsynced.

Is it possible to transfers itens from one character for another. Like I have one in Lamia and one in Behemoth and wants to transfer some itens?
limber crypt

@open coral Thanks. I guess I'll have to look at PF more then - id rather not make pf group as a noob 😛
sour spoke

@still mesa technically yes
You need a second account or another person helping you
patent citrus
EX trials are trials extreme right?
limber crypt
yeah
patent citrus
ah
sour spoke
Yea
patent citrus
I think I only got into ifrit/ramuh/titan extreme by DF
others I needed help from a friend to carry me unsync
it's very hard to get into the queue
patent citrus
like 30mins+ wait lol
sour spoke
Yeah exactly
limber crypt
Shame, everytime I look at PF theres only one group thats like "mount farm, experienced only" - so those arent for me. But I dont really look at PF all the time
still mesa
You need a second account or another person helping you
@sour spoke if I have someone helping me how can I do it?
wispy parcel
Most people arent gonna wanna run old extreme's level synched
sour spoke
They need to be on the server you wanna trade to, then trade them the items, log into the other character and trade them again
patent citrus
so i unlocked the 51-60 potd
wispy parcel
They gonna wanna burn through that shit
sour spoke
If you have a second account you can replace the other person with your 2nd accounts character
patent citrus
when should I start doing it to level my alt?
sour spoke
whenever you want
patent citrus
i have like lv 10 conjurer,
patent citrus
want to level it to the same level as my current main lv 60ish and plan to use them to do duty roulette
i see
limber crypt
Remember that while you might get to lvl 60 in PoTD you dont get soul crystal. So you would be lvl 60 conjurer with.. basically same skills as lvl 30
patent citrus
oh nice point
sour spoke
For the first 15 levels I'd say do hunting log
wispy parcel
Do your job quests as all
hot eagle
probably also faster to get your cnj to 15/16 and run dungeons
patent citrus
any guide on leveling alts? since i can't use msq 
sour spoke
Hunting Log
patent citrus
alt jobs
limber crypt
also dont burnout with PoTD (palace of dead in case someone wonders). You will.. get used to it a lot.
patent citrus
alright
wispy parcel
Like chibi said
median locust
Running dungeons as conjuer WILL be faster because Healers and Tanks get fast queues
PotD is only good if you have garbage queues
wispy parcel
Once you hit level 15 is faster to just run dungeons
patent citrus
that's the thing with potd haha, i can do it while watching movies
sour spoke
Use hunting logs for the first 15 levels after that you can either queue for the dungeon appropiate for your level or do potd
patent citrus
it's so chill
median locust
But you're also not learning your job
patent citrus
true that
sour spoke
that's the thing with potd haha, i can do it while watching movies
@patent citrus you should focus on the thing you queued for
median locust
which is bad for when you'll finally start running dungeons with it
wispy parcel
I learned that the hard way
sour spoke
You don't go to school just to watch videos
open coral
I mean, some content is just braindead
sour spoke
So please focus on the game not something else
limber crypt
How to level decently without PoTD:
-Hunting logs
-Fates (specially now with Yokai event)
-Dungeons, Heists
-Sidequests
-Dailies (50/60/70)
-Hunts (Heavensward ones give XP, ARR does not..)
patent citrus
yeah really nice, give huge chunks of exp

I have a question for the whitemages, would you rather use the relic weapon or the crystarium weapon. (yeah, the eden weapon is the best, but i don't have it yet D:)

sour spoke
I think it was
wispy parcel
Relic is easier to get
sour spoke
eden > upgraded crystarium > relic > crystarium

Plus the grond for it will come out probably the emd of september

No, Crystarium is usually better than relic
green grail

ahh, ok, ty :D
median locust
So it's not worth it for how much easier the Relic is to get
rich bay
wispy parcel
Relic is currently cheap as hell

i saw that the base stats of the crystarium weapon are better, but with materia the relic is better
True, it's cheap
wispy parcel
First is free and everyone after is only 1k poetics
rich bay
@nova wraith
To be more precise 112-119 days.
sour spoke
thats what I tried to say
rich bay
If you do E7S you can get the upgrade for the weapon to i500.
median locust
It depends on job though and if the Crystarium weapon has bad stats and relic weapon has really good stats, then yeah, maybe relic is better
I'd only get Crystarium if you have the means to upgrade it
rich bay
i500 weapon is always better then relic.
I do doubt that the new upgraded relic still has 5 materia slots.

Anybody around who can help with PC & PS4 info
median locust
I'd post your question and see if someone knows the solution
leaden ginkgo
If I have shadowbringers unlocked on PC, and I have just a ARR & Heavensward on PS4. Can I still play past Heavensward content?
What happens when I swap from PC post Heavensward to PS4?
dusty jungle
Not on PC, on PS4 yes
Wait reverse those
You can only access the content you have access to based on the platform you are on.
median locust
You will be capped to level 60 and unable to enter areas past Heavensward on the platform where you don't have SB/ShB
If you log out in a SB/ShB area you won't be able to login at all
Any job above 60 will be unable to gain exp and you won't be able to queue for SB/ShB stuff
leaden ginkgo
That's really confusing
plain python
when you use dark matter to repair, will each piece of gear cost 1 dark matter? Or a dark matter to repair whole?
dusty jungle
1 dark matter per gear repaired
fresh lodge
You also always repair 100%, so no matter when you repair the gear its never wasted
So if the gear is at 99% durability, it'll be put to 199%
And 50% to 150% ect
leaden ginkgo
So for example I can use the same character on PC & PS4.
dusty jungle
Yes
leaden ginkgo
But once I hit 60 I can't level or gain exp on PS4 anymore
dusty jungle
Correct
leaden ginkgo
Gotcha
rugged nimbus
You might not be able to even log in ps4 if you have a class over 60. But im not sure on that
fresh lodge
You also need the base game on PS4, you can't go from PC Shadowbringers to Trial PS4
leaden ginkgo
Yeah I already know that
median locust
Yeah you can login on a class above 60, you just need to not be in a SB/ShB area
leaden ginkgo
But since it will cost me $18 to get ARR & HW and 30 days
dusty jungle
Yeah if you logout in an expansion are you don't have access to on another platform, you can't login to that character on the platform lacking it.
leaden ginkgo
What about if I have a Vieira?

That one admittedly I don't know. I believe it won't let you use the character at all on ps4, but I could be wrong
leaden ginkgo
Okay well I'll find out now I guess then
I'll bite the $18 bullet
Also do I need a separate subscription for game time for PC & PS4?

When training your squadron members, why is it that some training courses reduce one stat while increasing another?
Also, a comprehensive training course says it doesn't increase any specific stat. Does it just increase all three equally?

MSQ and Blu quests 
Blue quests unlock features like glamour, dyes, dungeons, etc
the ones that say "So you want to be a ....." are to unlock new jobs so those you can ignore for now unless you want that job

if I'm doing dailies to farm allegory and phantasmagoria, is there a way to perform my dailies on a low level job but still get those tomestones
static yacht
is there a first time bonus
wanton shadow
I want to level other jobs
static yacht
for doing the eden gate normal raids
@wanton shadow there is not
you can only get allegory / phantasmagoria on a level 80 character

yes takk

first time bonus is there for everything iirc
wanton shadow
rip that sucks
static yacht
do you know if the first time bonus is in allegory / phantasmagoria?
wanton shadow
I wanna level alts 😦
leaden ginkgo
p sure its phantsa
static yacht
and that'll be the most effective way to get phantasmagoria / allegory
it's 20-30 minutes for ~150 allegory
and ... I think 300 phantasmagoria?
wanton shadow
I haven't looked into huints at all

typically what people do is people will coordinate hunt trains

i'dont need to buy a dlc, right? or is required?

you'll want to go to data center selection

and give yourself the crystaltrain

Can you create a male viera?
leaden ginkgo
L1 and right stick opens the virtual mouse for me
twilit arch
no
remote lintel
theres no male viera in the game
twilit arch
male viera are not a possible choice with character creation
same with female hrotghar
lone zephyr
male viera are not a possible choice with character creation
D:
Is there any specific reason?
fallen lotus
hmmm friend is trying to play trial
open coral
Because they don't exist.
faint flare
Because they don't want exist
open coral
Just like female Hrothgar don't exist.
twilit arch
because SE decided to do two races at once
lone zephyr
Because they don't exist.
They do....?
leaden ginkgo
Any UI settings and controller mapping tips for PS4?
twilit arch
And making one race is a ton of work
open coral
They do....?
Not in this game they don't.
twilit arch
so they went with the choice that would appease the player base the most, so that's why its only female viera
terse crystal
@terse crystal did they try using a different web browser
@remote lintel it still gives the same problem
fallen lotus
faint flare
Or at least they're never seen and reside to hide away in the Forests
sour spoke
Any UI settings and controller mapping tips for PS4?
@leaden ginkgo focus on what makes it comfortable to play for you
if something feels off
change it
lone zephyr
so they went with the choice that would appease the player base the most, so that's why its only female viera
Ohh i get it
sour spoke
don't just copy others
lone zephyr
Still if male viera don't exist then how do they reproduce?
twilit arch
male viera do exist
faint flare
Techincally they do exist
lone zephyr
Oh
twilit arch
they just aren't a choice for the player
wispy parcel
They are just heavily secluded
faint flare
But they hide in the Forests and are basically savages
lone zephyr
Aw
faint flare
Only coming out for mating season
wispy parcel
Plus Viera live for a very long period of time
lone zephyr
They are just heavily secluded
Like miqotes?
remote lintel
not all miqotes are secluded

There's lore about them from the wandering dramaturge during the Lv70 24mans
That gives viera lore

you can buy an apartment

by spamming all 100 of your leves

You can stable chocobos in apartment stables

Aww hopefully we get male vieras someday
static yacht
wispy parcel
Apartments are pretty cheap too
split jay
Are you able to get apartments with the housing shortage?
faint flare
Apartments are very readily available
split jay
That’s good
faint flare
There's alot more apartments than houses
And more easily added
Due to being instanced
earnest wigeon
Is there any gameplay enhancing reason to get an apartment?
split jay
I just want a green Chocobo tbh
faint flare
You can grow a few small things
And stable the chocobo to colour it
Otherwise not really
earnest wigeon
is there a better investment than an apartment if you want to do something practical?
faint flare
Eh not really
earnest wigeon
okay
sour spoke
Apartments and housing is a gil sink
So if you dont know what to do with your gil just decorate your house

regal heath
Hey peeps
So Im doing my HW Relic weapon and I need to get Sand, I hear the best way to get Sand is to get Red Scrips from the Diadem
frank wigeon
hey i know the bis for paladin, but i wonder what is the bis before palading? so i can aim to reach it
regal heath
I have no idea what Red Scrips are
twilit arch
red scrips don't exist
and you can't get scrips from diadem anymore.
that said, doing collectables is the easiest way to get crystal sand
gloomy mortar
Don’t Leve turn ins run out? Now all the Leves give me is 3000 Gil and 3000 Exp
twilit arch
either with a crafter or gatherer
regal heath
Whats a collectible and how do I get them?
Bearing in mind I only have Gatherers past 60 atm
remote lintel
the best way to get sand is doing a leve from ishgard
twilit arch
No...
remote lintel
to turn in the amber for sand
twilit arch
ambervile kin are only if you've got no crafter or gatherer leveled
regal heath
I hear thats only the best way if you don't have any gatherer yeah
twilit arch
its subjected to RNG, so its far from the best
regal heath
So how do I go about getting collectibles to get sand?
elder meteor
any idea why it says for pest eradication squadron mission that I'm unable to accept this mission until list is updated next week?
twilit arch
There's a quest in Ishgard called "Inscrutable Tastes" that unlocks it
remote lintel
theyre weekly
elder meteor
oh ok. so for some reason it stays on the list. I just can't do it until next week
regal heath
Right so I just do the collectibles quests and Ill get Sand?
twilit arch
no, you need go out and gather items as collectables, the items worth turning in are timed node items
they need to be a certain collectability so i would suggest talking to the splendors appraiser before you go out and gather stuff to make sure you know the min amount you need
gloomy mortar
How long until unspoiled node regenerates?
twilit arch
Once you've turned in some collectables, you'll get yellow scrips which you can use to exchange for blue scrip tokens
which you use to exchange for the sand
oak jolt
I have only touched MSQ and job quests. However I'm 49 and MAQ is about 35. When I hit 50, will the quests that allow me poetics of tombstone for lvl 50 gear open up or is it part of the MSQ?
twilit arch
part of the msq
remote lintel
you need to beat ARR
sour spoke
How long until unspoiled node regenerates?
@gloomy mortar 30 mins I think
You can use sites like FFXIV teamcraft to see the exact timer
regal heath
So how do I find my Custom Deliveres for the week to get the trade ins?
oak jolt
Right on. Thank you.
twilit arch
have you unlocked a custom delivery npc?
regal heath
Not that i know of no
twilit arch
ok well then after you do the quest i mentioned before, there's another quest you need to do before you can unlock the first custom delivery npcs
regal heath
I can do a Collectibles Exchange for Scrips and theres a big ass list of things I can hand in?
twilit arch
"Go west, craftsman" unlocks the idyllshire house of splendors and zhloe
gloomy mortar
Are the Yokai weapons glamour items or actual weapons?
remote lintel
glams
twilit arch
once you've done that you can do the quest "Arms Wide Open"
regal heath
Ah okay I do have that quest
Can I also do the normal handins for the scrips too or are they not worth?
regal heath
and last question do I need to hand those in after I gather them or can I just buy them?
weary burrow
soooo... I .. accidentally used my fantasia potion in combat cause i was looking for a healing potion.. xD
regal heath
@weary burrow You dont have to change, it will stay on char select until you use it, so its not wasted
stray rivet
Where i can spend allagan tomestones?
regal heath
Neat, thanks
weary burrow
nice thnx ;D i wanted to know that! perfect!
remote lintel
poetics?
regal heath
Okay so, Im back
I went out, gathered the coin for my handin and I can't handin the coin for some reason?
twilit arch
as i said, there's a minimum collectability requirement for collectable turn ins
so make sure you know what it is
regal heath
Well it says collectibility 240, but how do I know if the item has the right collectability?
Its not showing anywhere on the item
strange coral
Does the item have the little box on it?
regal heath
It des not
twilit arch
then you didn't gather it as a collectable, you need to enable collector's glove before you gather an item to turn in for collectables
regal heath
I think I've figure dit out though, I have to use the new skills I got right?
twilit arch
yes
mortal current
How many lorebooks have been released? Just the 2 books a few years ago?

Thanks, Kael.
lavish vortex
can you desynth multiple items at the same time? im on ps4
twilit arch
if its a stack of items, yes there's an option when you open the desynth menu. but if its individual items (i.e weapons/armour) then easiest to just have the desynth window up so you can quickly select the next item you want to desynth
severe tusk
Last day of the collectors sale, should I get it?

Okay last question about collectibles i promise

yes you can

Outside of the weekly collectibles you can do, the normal handins in Mor Dhona, do they get "consumed" or can I farm one item as much as I want?

^ try to reduce your GCD healing in favor of dpsing whenever possible
median locust
you are not a healer, you are a DPS with a side of heals
faint flare
Spam lucid starting at 90% mp
polar hound
using ogcds/fairy to keep hps up primarily
leaden ginkgo
What's ogcg?
polar hound
every job is expected to dps so try to aim for that whenever possible, dont stress about it, but doesnt hurt to have it as the goal
off global cooldown
sour spoke
stuff that does not trigger the gcd
gcd is the little cooldown whenever you use an ability
remote lintel
ogcd is what you weave
leaden ginkgo
So for example an opener for doing the MSQ

say you cast Adlo, you can still press Energy Drain.. Adlo is GCD, ED is OGCD
