questions-and-help

[faint flare]

Thats with just 1 skill on it

Nothing else

[outer plank]

if their was an easier way to do this, we would all probably be doing that to avoid skill board bloat

[tawdry onyx]

so i can't set it up that when i press 1. it uses the skill and changes the keybind for that slot?

[faint flare]

No

[remote lintel]

no

[little swift]

he wants the pvp skill stuff

[faint flare]

Not without being EXTREMELY ineffective at your job

[little swift]

but we don't have that for pve

it just doesn't exist

[remote lintel]

thats what ive been saying

[outer plank]

^

[faint flare]

The pvp skills are impossible to replicate in a fumctional way

[outer plank]

^

unfortunately

[tawdry onyx]

ah oh well, guess i'm stuck with 1 2 3

[faint flare]

You are going to be using 3 hotbars

[wet sigil]

do the mogstation/collector's edition minions count towards the despicable you achievs?

[tawdry onyx]

i have 4 hotbars

[faint flare]

For every job

[remote lintel]

trying to press less buttons only kills your dps

[outer plank]

though i honestly think square should make it more like pvp instead of constantly skill pruning each expansion to make way for new skills

atleast for 123

skills

[faint flare]

They said they'll never do that

[outer plank]

ah

unfortunate

[faint flare]

They only did it for pvp cause fights are hectic and they rather you focus on the combat

[tawdry onyx]

imma send Square and email

[faint flare]

But pve isn't

Pve is static and scripted

[remote lintel]

just learn to press your buttons

[faint flare]

So you can focus on your rotation more

[remote lintel]

or get a job without combos

[tawdry onyx]

currently i have 28 shotcuts, i just wanted to sese if it was possible to narrow this down with this macro stuff, so i guess macro stuff is uselss

never said i was bad at pressing my buttons

[remote lintel]

most jobs have like 32 skills

[faint flare]

Majority of combat macros are

[outer plank]

use to rely a message

[faint flare]

Macors are great for QoL ui stuff and crafting

[outer plank]

or they're targeted aoes under the target like salted earth

[remote lintel]

eh i dont even use the ground targeting macros

except shukuchi on nin

[tawdry onyx]

theirs 2 skilsl i never use on my paladin,

[faint flare]

I dont macro ground targets and im on console

[halcyon glen]

I use ground target macros because I’m bad at the game

[faint flare]

Shits still easy to place and double weave

[halcyon glen]

I use a party list macro for Play/Cover too

[faint flare]

I have the fast fingers

[halcyon glen]

Like I said, I’m bad at the game

[earnest wigeon]

When you're locked on to a target, is there any way to make your movement "normal"? Like being locked on while moving normally?

(I'm a controller player)

[remote lintel]

locking a target means your camera will always face towards them

so not really

[earnest wigeon]

Oh it's a camera mechanics thing

okay

[raw solstice]

you can just have them targetted and not enable lock on

and then you still have them as the target, without that different kind of motion

[earnest wigeon]

When I do that as an archer I just shoot my spells and run away, but then I don't really see them because my camera is facing the opposite direction

Will an archer's kiting be better or worse with target lock on?

[remote lintel]

i never target lock

with or without bard

[raw solstice]

kiting isn't really all that useful a skill, and neither does lock on really help with anything

it used to have more relevance when autos required you to be facing the target

but now they just go off regardless so there's no real need to use the feature

[earnest wigeon]

I just personally like seeing the thing I'm killing at all times

[quiet yew]

I'm trying to make a free company, is there an easy/standard way to find people willing to sign the petition?

[remote lintel]

zoom out all the way?

[faint flare]

Well there will be times you need to look away from the boss

And see the arena

As stuff happens around the arena you'll need to pay attention to

[remote lintel]

if you zoom out you can see like 80% of the arena

[earnest wigeon]

Yeah in dungeons I'm more flexible cause movement is really important

Alright, I'll try fighting without target lock

[lost hollow]

.

[quick ibex]

Have a question for you BLU people

Does syncing a dung for a spell guarantee the spell? such as Haukke manor for Petrify?

[cedar compass]

How can I find a group to do coil unsynched?

[faint flare]

Yes

Syncing makes the spell guaranteed

Regardless of party comp

[quick ibex]

Do I still need to see the spell?

[faint flare]

Yes

[cedar compass]

I mean synched* sorry

[quick ibex]

Ok, thx

[earnest wigeon]

Wait, kiting in this game means moving away from an enemy while shooting arrows at them, right? (using bard/archer as an example)

[faint flare]

Make a party finder for it and look for communities who do old content synced

Think there's a few Min/synced discords linked in resources

[tribal mural]

https://i.imgur.com/xgoJEXm.png is there a way to hide this

[faint flare]

No

[tribal mural]

[faint flare]

Not without hiding your weapon

You're stuck with the lunch box

[raven sage]

I mean you can hide the weapon

[red junco]

i wish they'd change the look of that dumb thing based on your weapon :/

[raven sage]

But that only helps when it's sheathed

[solid estuary]

What do you do with antique stuff?

[faint flare]

You can trade it in at a guy in mor dhona for the i90 gear

[solid estuary]

Ah

[opal bough]

What is the fastest way to farm ishgard scripts? lv 80 gathering or doing the lvl 80 crafting request

[faint flare]

Thats the fastest way

Do the lv80 non expert stuff

[opal bough]

Is gathering not viable?

[faint flare]

It is

[jaunty flare]

is the palace of the dead actually a good way to grind xp? (lancer lvl 46 trying to get to 50 fast, and MSQ is locked untill lvl 49)

[faint flare]

Iirc some guy got like 1k scrips an hour by fishing

Yes palace is if ques for dungeons are long

[tawdry onyx]

can macros identify other macros. Sorry i have an idea in how to do what i want, but not looking for a thats not possible, thing

[faint flare]

Do your daily levelling roulette and spam highest level dungeons

No

They cant

[jaunty flare]

nice, thanks for the help!

[faint flare]

Macros are extremely limited on purpose

[tawdry onyx]

so i can't do something like Macro 1 = Press x button, and move macro 2 into slot 1. where macro 1 was already ?

[faint flare]

No

[tawdry onyx]

stupid square

[faint flare]

Its for very obvious reasons

[tawdry onyx]

anyway thank you

[regal heath]

Any tips for getting Crystal Sand?

Would spamming an Extreme for the handin be worthwhile?

[faint flare]

Leves (amber encased vilekin) and scrips are good for it

There's a few leves you can get and do minimumal movement to check all the chest spawn locations

[regal heath]

Thats trading yellow scrips for blue scrips right?

[glad comet]

Gathering scrips make it quite easy

[faint flare]

Then you do a quick scan for chests, loot it then abandon and repeat

Yes

[regal heath]

Aight another quick question

Can you do the handins for yellow scrips infinitely?

[faint flare]

Yes

[regal heath]

Outside of the weekly I mean

[glad comet]

yes

[faint flare]

Collectibles are unlimited

And they no longer rotate

So make as much as you can hold

[glad comet]

Its set

[regal heath]

Oh so I literally just need to go farm the same material

[glad comet]

no longer weekly swap

[regal heath]

and then trade in the scrips

[glad comet]

yep

[regal heath]

and while Im here any tips for Umbrite?

[glad comet]

poetics only

...good luck

you need about

6000 poetics

[faint flare]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[faint flare]

See 2nd link

For poetics farm

[regal heath]

Oh so thats just going to take me weeks then?

Well a week or so

[faint flare]

Nah, depending how much you can stomach farming the dungeons for poetics

But that step is the longest

For anima

[regal heath]

Really? I thought the Unidentified bit was the longest?

=p

[glad comet]

nope

6000 poetics

[faint flare]

Nah you can farm those

[timid silo]

hi guys, im in Post ARR almost to HW, should i bother doing beast tribe quest rn or just focus on doing MSQ?

[glad comet]

plus farming for crystal sand

[regal heath]

6000 Poetics in a dungeon farm

[faint flare]

Via like Alexander or poetics and beast tribes

[regal heath]

Wouldnt that be like 600 runs?

[faint flare]

Minus the poetics you gey via daily roulettes

Bonus points if you get people with bonus

For extra poetics

[raven sage]

@timid silo You can do them whenever you need a little break or if you queue up for something you can do them while you wait

[timid silo]

oh okay i just found out there are blue quests to enable them at lv 41 so i will pick them up

[regal heath]

Might be a good time to do my BLU then for poetics

[faint flare]

Eureka is also good for poetics...if people are still doing it on chaos

Work on 2 relics at once

[regal heath]

Also a good shout

[faint flare]

Casually brought all ShB relics in like 2 days cause eureka gives alot on fate trains

[regal heath]

ngl though I just really want Aetir

and I havent done any Eureka so Id be hella underleved

[leaden ginkgo]

can i rebuy the yokai wepons if i discard them?

[patent hinge]

if you play on a server with exp boost and you move via aetherite to another server, the bonus still works?

[glad comet]

yes

@patent hinge

[patent hinge]

cool!

[regal heath]

So apparently Great Gubal Library gives 70 per run

So guess Ill just run that 80 times, unless anyone has a betteridea?

[faint flare]

Aetherochemical research facility

[patent hinge]

Just starting, Im lvl 7, should I focus on something or I just level?

[regal heath]

Focus on the main story

[faint flare]

Do story and your class queats

Both are MANDATORY

[remote lintel]

and besides the ones that say leves or that unlock classes

i mean you should do the first leve quest at your starting city

[tulip plover]

Why is honoroit so small

[remote lintel]

because hes a child

[tulip plover]

Oh yeah true

[patent hinge]

cool, I ask because I see so many events, I guess thats for endgame

[tulip plover]

What is he like 10?

[remote lintel]

hes 14

Damn hes small af

[remote lintel]

@patent hinge events can usually be done by lower lvl players

the yokai one is lvl 15 and moonfire is lvl 30

[noble sage]

is there a website where I can check housing availability on my world, or do I have to be in game checking that

[faint flare]

In game

[noble sage]

darn

[regal heath]

Im assuming Unsyncing a dungeoin doesnt give you the completion reward?

[faint flare]

No

No tomes are given via unsync unless there's the first time bonus

[little swift]

if you're after quest completion unsync is fine, but you lose every other reward

besides dungeon drops/first time bonus

[regal heath]

After Tomestones

[little swift]

yeah first time bonus is all you'll get

[regal heath]

Hm

So I could do unsync all the stuff I havent done

For a nice burst of Poetics then?

[patent hinge]

oooh, where I can join Yokai watch one?

[faint flare]

Uldah

[regal heath]

Oh also are old Extremes repeat farmable for Mounts?

[faint flare]

Yes

[patent hinge]

oof, Im on Gridania

[faint flare]

You need to have progressed the story enough to travrl to the other cities anyway

Even if you started in uldah

[true forge]

what materia should i be using for black mage and samurai

[celest jolt]

I started the Ishgard restoration .. I crafter a few Grade 2 skybuilders ingot and gave it to the npc without problems .. but now I crafted a new ones and can't give it?

What I'm doing wrong? Oo

[faint flare]

Your collectiblity is too low

[leaden ginkgo]

can anyone help me with setting up a macro? I'm trying to be corny while I rez but don't know how to go about putting in the commands. I read up a little on it but still v v confused

[faint flare]

It doesn't meet the minimum required collectiblity so it cant be turned in

[celest jolt]

What that means? I'm lost.

[leaden ginkgo]

So im at level 51 now should i just grind for poetics until I have a full set of ironworks armor and weapons ?

[faint flare]

It means raise the quality

[celest jolt]

Ahh so because I made them quickly

[faint flare]

Collectiblity is quality divided by 10

And you need minimum 50 for tier 1 rewards

[quasi widget]

So im at level 51 now should i just grind for poetics until I have a full set of ironworks armor and weapons ?
@leaden ginkgo should just continue the main story until you cant. it should give you gear and you shouldnt need to grind for poetics

[faint flare]

105 for max

[remote lintel]

@true forge for blm spell speed to tier then crit > dh > det and same for samurai but with skill speed

[true forge]

okay cool cool

[celest jolt]

Thanks Vinyl.

[toxic ridge]

Anyone have any idea what body piece and leg armor this is? I didn't even know the examine feature was a thing when I took this sadly

[remote lintel]

2b stockings

[quasi widget]

leg is the 2B

[leaden ginkgo]

@quasi widget thanks but will I eventually have to later on for other classes ?

[remote lintel]

replica sky rat aiming for top iirc

[obsidian patio]

Sky pirate, not sky rat

[remote lintel]

right

[obsidian patio]

It’s either striking or scouting

They share the same model

Note that there are replica sky pirate stuff which is all-class

[quasi widget]

@leaden ginkgo doing max level side dungeons and raids from ARR, HW and SB for the first time give massive amounts of poetics, so for gearing alt classes you shouldnt need to grind for it if thats what you want to do with poetics first.

just unlock and do content for a while

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo
/micon raise
/ac raise <t>
/ac raise <t> <wait.1>
/p text goes here

[leaden ginkgo]

👍

[twilit arch]

micon should be at the bottom

[remote lintel]

does it make it slower if its at the top?

[faint flare]

Yes

Cause remember macros read 1 line at a time

Including the micon

[honest anvil]

Just got into HW, when do i get flying mount back?

[remote lintel]

you can fly when you progress far enough in the msq

[faint flare]

And get all the aether currents

[plain python]

can you go to lv80 with MSQ and vendor gear? Or you will stop and grind for a gear tier for a while before moving on?

[faint flare]

Msq gives you enough gear

Vendor gear stops being good at 50

As story gives you HQ gear

It is a good idea to grab poetic gear at 50/60/70

[plain python]

I have Wanderer's Palace unlocked. Is it good for farming tomes?

[remote lintel]

not for gear

not really

[brittle tree]

Hey guys I wanted to ask your guys opinion on what class I should play. Samurai or Bard? I'm a pretty casual player if that helps...

[remote lintel]

whatever you want

[plain python]

they are both DPSer. The question is whether you want to fight up close or afar.

[brittle tree]

i tried samurai for a bit and i got to around 60 but i found the rotation a bit too simple? I was looking at bard cause I wanted to do more utility dungeons

[remote lintel]

i wouldnt call the sam rotation simple

what do you mean utility dungeons

[brittle tree]

o sorry i meant utility in dungeons*

like do more than just dps

[remote lintel]

almost all classes have utility skills

not just bard

[leaden ginkgo]

If you want more utility, between sam and bard, go bard

you can always go back to samurai if you get tired of bard, it's not going anywhere

[arctic glacier]

Is there a way to unlock the stubble of the WOL in the shadowbringers patch trailer?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[arctic glacier]

[potent lava]

So I noticed that minions have stats and abilities, where are those used

[obsidian patio]

In the lord of verminion mini game at the gold saucer

It’s like a weird RTS game

[regal heath]

Quick question

[solid oxide]

What would you say is more fun, black mage or summoner?

[regal heath]

Im trying to do collectibles with mining and Im noticing a lot of the stuff i need comes from timed nodes

Is that a specific node thats up at a specific time or can you gather multiple nodes during the time period?

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone on primal know the cheapest data center for glams/crafted gear

[obsidian patio]

@regal heath some items share the same node, but they can all have different times

[regal heath]

Cus Im googling the items and Im getting a lot of FFXIV clock links saying its up at specific times in specific areas

[obsidian patio]

You can use this site to track a “timeline” for them http://www.garlandtools.org/bell/

[regal heath]

So basically I goto that zone at the time and the node spawns?

[obsidian patio]

@solid oxide I personally enjoy black mage a lot more, since I never really liked how summoner played in the previous expansions

Yep

[regal heath]

Do you know if theres a way to filter whats spawning based on the collectibles rotation?

Dont mind doing manually but if theres a button id love a button

[obsidian patio]

Just make sure you have Truth of mountains or truth of forests active to see them

For the site? Click the yellow scrip or white scrip icons

[regal heath]

Ah yeah found it

Too bad its going to spam me a bunch of 80 stuff I cant do yet

[obsidian patio]

Filter out the later expansion stuff with the 2.0/3.0/4.0/5.0 buttons

AKA base game/Heavensward/Stormblood/Shadowbringers

[regal heath]

You are actually a hero.

[spiral idol]

do u think I can do wanderer palace with ilevel 62

healer btw

[obsidian patio]

If you mean solo then no

Queueing through the duty finder? Definitely

[spiral idol]

queueing

I dont wanna be a burden

especially as a healer

[queen blade]

So im just getting into ff14 and im wondering if expansions are like a pay to play/pay to win type situation

[leaden ginkgo]

game is pay to play

[queen blade]

like can i achieve end game without expansions

[leaden ginkgo]

in the free trial you have access to level 60 content which is back from 2015-2016

current endgame content (level 80) is locked behind shadowbringers

[queen blade]

how much is that?

[obsidian patio]

$40

[queen blade]

ooooo

[obsidian patio]

The base game costs $20

[regal heath]

Also in terms of "being a burden"

[little swift]

There's no p2w elements

[obsidian patio]

You’ll need both to play in shadowbringers

[regal heath]

The game won't let you do content you shouldnt be able to handle aslong as your gear isnt super far behind

[faint meadow]

Is there anything you spend poetics on anymore at 80? Or do you just hold onto it for your alt jobs at that point?

[obsidian patio]

Poetics aren’t used for any level 80 stuff

[twilit arch]

lvl 80 alt job relics

[obsidian patio]

If you want to make Gil off of your poetics, buy Unid Ores and Shells to trade in at Bertana in Idyllshire for gardening soil

[faint meadow]

Got y a

[deft quiver]

does rdm 100 100 gauge do anything?

other than obviously being full and flashing

[little swift]

Nope you just waste potential gauge gain by continuing to build it up

Its fine for enchanted moulinet spending I suppose

Regular melee combo wants mana values to be uneven

[severe tusk]

Does grand company matter?

[little swift]

Nope

Just cosmetics and location

[deft quiver]

Regular melee combo wants mana values to be uneven
@little swift wdym

[little swift]

!faq grandcompany

[zinc orbit]

Grand Company FAQ

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies

Maelstrom
Twin Adders
Immortal Flames

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.

[deft quiver]

isnt melee combo 80 80

[little swift]

At first yes but you get finishees later that grant verfire or verstone ready if you use them on uneven mana

[obsidian patio]

VerHoly and VerFlare give a guaranteed proc if you use the correct one based on which mana is lower

[deft quiver]

oh ok

im only lvl 52 rn

just picked the class up

so you mentioned moulinet, which i just unlocked. Is it any good?

[little swift]

The other thing you'll want to consider later is manafication alignments

Its aoe its good

[deft quiver]

i see

20 20 for a cone attack

[little swift]

1.5 gcd recast

[deft quiver]

but its only 60 potency

[dim smelt]

Was hw primal mount drop rates buffed like arr ?

[little swift]

!action enchanted moulinet

[zinc orbit]

**Enchanted Moulinet** : lvl 52 RDM (1.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 200 to all enemies in a cone before you.

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

Powered by XIVAPI

[little swift]

200pot

[deft quiver]

oh

the enchanted one

[obsidian patio]

@dim smelt yes

[deft quiver]

yeah only shows regular potency one in hotbar

[dim smelt]

Awesome thanks

[little swift]

You can open your actions menu and scroll to the bottom

[deft quiver]

yup

just checked

[little swift]

Yeah its decent aoe for 1.5 gcd

[deft quiver]

ive been running potd trying to get the hang of the basics, and didnt even notice that action tbh

trying to go into dungeons are dps doesnt ever work out

[little swift]

Melee combo is also 1.5

[deft quiver]

yup

saw that

but with high aetherpool everything gets killed by the 2nd attack

dont even get the full combo in

[little swift]

That's why potd isnt a good representation of the job

But its fine for leveling

[deft quiver]

yeah just trying to level it a bit for now

even the floor 60 boss is ez

with lust and 5 vuln stacks the boss goes down pretty fast

[cedar compass]

What's the discord for doing old content synched?

[dim smelt]

What about hoh

[little swift]

What about it

[timid silo]

Should i try to unlock all the trials lv 50 in ARR excluding Hard and Extreme mode?

[crimson crystal]

Does retainer level affect quick exploration venture rewards?

@timid silo yes, unlock hard and extreme too

[timid silo]

Thank you

[crimson crystal]

Don't have to do extremes yet, but at least unlock them

[deft quiver]

theres really no need to do them yet since you can run all of them solo easily once you hit lvl 70+

[twilit arch]

yes, level affects it to a degree since higher level means bigger pool to draw from with ilvl affecting your chances of getting better stuff

[deft quiver]

at lvl 80 you can run all lvl 50 extremes within 30 secs to 1 min with a dps class

[oak jolt]

Is there a command to see a skill in discord? Saw a ShB lvl 30 rotation and can't find my spirits within for PLD.

[timid silo]

I gotcha i just want to see if i need to unlock them now or just continue with msq to Hw

[regal heath]

I would definitely reccomend keeping on with the MSQ

You can come back to Extremes later and still run them

I would highly reccomend running the Extreme fights legit first time atleast

[timid silo]

I should just gonna unlock the trials that i dont have yet

[regal heath]

The unlock is generally "Go speak to person X, attune to Y"

[timid silo]

Some are from blue quests i havent done haha

[regal heath]

Yeah Blue = Important side quest

[oak jolt]

Nvm on my question. It's bc I'm still GLD and don't see my skill list for PLD yet.

[regal heath]

Usually unlocks a feature or a fight

[timid silo]

Ty guys i will do that. Once i got trial out of the way i will unlock raid one for roulette

[fringe lotus]

Can i play with my character on ps4? MEaning is there cross save?

[leaden ginkgo]

@fringe lotus yes, but you need to buy the game again on that platform

[woeful nacelle]

I've never even even looked into housing in this game even though I been playing since launch. Are there open houses typically or is everything taken?

[little swift]

It depends on your server

But its likely lots to most houses are taken

[regal heath]

You can buy an Apartment though

Which you can decorate the interior of, you just dont get an Exterior to decorate

[woeful nacelle]

Yeah I'm mostly looking to get one for using a dummy.

[regal heath]

Training dummy?

[woeful nacelle]

Yeah

[regal heath]

Just go and use anyones in their housing

They also spawn in the world in certain places

[woeful nacelle]

Yeah I've been just using the Tempest one which I guess is fine

[little swift]

There's level one dummies as well

[chrome trench]

Hi all, does anyone knows if ffxiv celebrate anniversary based on 30sep2010 or 27aug2013?

[celest bison]

Im thinking about purchasing eorzea encyclopedia and i see 2 versions. Does the 2nd one include everything from 1st one with new additions? Do i have to purchase both books?

2010

Cuz SE copyright info says 2010- so

Pls correct me if im wrong^^

[umbral yacht]

Anyone did not get the extra 3 quests from the dwarves beast tribe after sworn reputation? I got the mount after doing 3 quests and connecting quest. Afterwards there was no extra quests. I might double check later.

[glad comet]

@umbral yacht

it has always been like this

[nova umbra]

when a PF says parse run or page run, should you expect not to have 2 chests?

[glad comet]

after you complete sworn, you dont get more for the day

@nova umbra yep, dont expect 2 chests or 1 chest at all

[umbral yacht]

Thank you, did not know that happens @glad comet

[lone zephyr]

How do chests work?

What's the difference between greed and need

[glad comet]

need is for your class

greed is not for your class but you want it

need will put guarantee on you

greed wont

[lone zephyr]

Ooo

And

What happens with glamours?

[nova umbra]

1 need > 99 greed

[warped nest]

What do you mean?

[lone zephyr]

Doesn't the nier raid drop glamours?

[warped nest]

Yeah

The first one do

[lone zephyr]

They're for all classes right?

[warped nest]

The 2B stuff is general purpose yes

[little swift]

you basically just roll need against everyone in the raid

[lone zephyr]

Oh

Is it like a dice thing?

[faint flare]

Yes

Standard loot roll

Out of 24 people

[lone zephyr]

....

[faint flare]

But there's 3 coffers

And most people have it

[lone zephyr]

Oh

[warped nest]

But people can double dip

So if someone decides to be an ass

[leaden ginkgo]

Is the raise macro worth it? I feel like i've missed more than actually done any good while trying to use it idk

[warped nest]

And they got lucky

[lone zephyr]

All the nier costumes can be dropped from the first raid?

[faint flare]

There's only 1

So yes

[lone zephyr]

Oh what

I've seen a lot

[faint flare]

Puppet bunker has no glamour chest

Other looks is just the normal gear

That drops

[warped nest]

All armors can be used as glamour

[lone zephyr]

O

[warped nest]

The 2B coffer drops the 2B design

From Nier Automata

[lone zephyr]

So the other ones are armors?

[faint flare]

Yes

[warped nest]

Other armors are designed on the same theme

[lone zephyr]

Ah i get it now

[warped nest]

But they can be used as glamour too

[faint flare]

!itemglamour Yorha Type-51 body of Fending

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Item not found, Kupo!

[faint flare]

[warped nest]

Lol

[faint flare]

Im mostly right

[somber lintel]

I dont need to buy the starter edition if im buying the compete edition right

[tired glen]

Uh...DNC, SAM, and GNB weapons can't be placed in the armoire?

[warped nest]

Armoire cannot store just any gear

[spiral idol]

anyone knows every time I want to check achievements I get the "Unable to get data" error something

[warped nest]

Armoire store mostly achievement gear and seasonal gears

[chrome trench]

Hi all, does anyone knows if ffxiv celebrate anniversary based on 30sep2010 or 27aug2013?

[lone zephyr]

Does the road to 70 buff end when you reach 70 with any class?

[leaden ginkgo]

nope

[lone zephyr]

O

[leaden ginkgo]

applies to all classes until 70

[lone zephyr]

When does it end?

Ooooo

That's awesome

[faint flare]

It lasts for 90days minimum or longer if server stays preferred

[leaden ginkgo]

and that too

[lone zephyr]

O

[warped nest]

In another world, If you make a new character today, and the server is not preferred tomorrow, it will last until the new character is 90 days old.

Other wise, it will be there as long as

The world stays preferred

[lone zephyr]

How do i know which world is preferred?

[warped nest]

When you finish making a new character

And you are asked to picked a world for this new character

[faint flare]

Server status page and preferred server has a star next to it in character creation

[warped nest]

The world will have a star

[lone zephyr]

In another world, If you make a new character today, and the server is not preferred tomorrow, it will last until the new character is 90 days old.
Like 90 days after creation or 90 days of playtime?

[faint flare]

Creation

[warped nest]

90 days of playtime is ridiculously long

[lone zephyr]

Ok so

If sargatanas isnt a preferred server tomorrow

But next week sargatanas is preferred again

Does the counter refresh?

[warped nest]

Unlikely

[faint flare]

No

[warped nest]

It won't

Plus preferred world stay preferred for very long

[faint flare]

It changes on patches

[warped nest]

If a world does change to preferred the week after you make a new character

You can probably just make a new character

or picked a world in the same data center with preferred status

or wait a week for the patch to observe preferred world changes before you make a new character

Like there are so many ways to do it

[halcyon kite]

if i buy the game on Steam, do i get to transfer all of the data and have the dlc on steam? i’ve been playing on the normal launcher

[warped nest]

No

PC or Steam are locked down permanently

[faint flare]

Unless you're on trial

Trial is the one time you can swap

[burnt flicker]

ah, I guess I'm out for just one minion though right? the one that requires shadowbringer areas

[unborn dock]

is there a strategy on how to complete the guardian tree "heart of the forest" quest? i keep failing it and have tried so many times. i don't want to lower the difficulty. are there any strategies?

[faint flare]

There's no yokai that requires Shadowbringers areas

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[faint flare]

Well done

[simple shore]

!faq glamourdresser

[zinc orbit]

Glamour Dresser FAQ

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"

The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.

"How do I use it?"

In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".

When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

[simple shore]

i'm surprised i didnt get automodded again

[faint flare]

We'll never forgive you for this

[unborn dock]

does anyone have any pointers for the guardian tree quest? it's really difficult and i keep trying to do different things to help my npcs and to keep it alive, but i keep failing.

[sacred laurel]

transmog here call galmour lol

[simple shore]

what is "the guardian tree quest"

whats the exact name

[glad comet]

^specify

[simple shore]

because there's like 3 different quests you might mean i think

[unborn dock]

i'm sorry. "heart of the forest."

[simple shore]

Okay, so the WHM quest

[unborn dock]

whm?

[simple shore]

White Mage

[unborn dock]

oh. i'm sorry.

[simple shore]

all jobs have a 3 letter abbreviation that is commonly used

Anyway

What is the issue you're having with completing it

Like what specifically is occurring when you fail

[unborn dock]

the guardian tree will lose all of its hp before the third wave of enemies.

[simple shore]

Are you keeping Regen on it?

[unborn dock]

yes.

[simple shore]

and healing it with Cure 2 when you arent busy doing other stuff?

[unborn dock]

and i use holy to do damage to enemies nearby, but am always making sure to use cure and regen on it.

[simple shore]

Holy is fine if theres a bunch of enemies, but if there arent alot you may be better off single targetting.

[glad comet]

is your equipment up to date?

[simple shore]

Yes, whats your ilvl

[unborn dock]

yes. i'm level fifty.

[simple shore]

Not level

Item level

[unborn dock]

and wearing the recommended gear, which is the gear they've given me from quests.

[simple shore]

It's this number on your character page :

[unborn dock]

it is 0047.

[simple shore]

Okay 47 is fine for that quest

[tribal sand]

What are the loot limitations on Copied Factory now?

[simple shore]

@tribal sand none. Run as much as you want, loot as much as you want.

@unborn dock Are your NPC allies dying before it fails?

[tribal sand]

Awesome, thanks. Do most folks have the Type 51 they want already or is it still competitive?

[simple shore]

idk i havent been in there since 5.3

[tribal sand]

NP, ty

[spiral idol]

are u using swiftcast/presence of mind whenver its off cooldown?

[unborn dock]

@unborn dock Are your NPC allies dying before it fails?
@simple shore occasionally a-towa(?) will fall, but it's difficult watching out for both him and the tree, as they take on large amounts of damage.

not to mention i get incredibly low on mp near the end of the third wave.

[spiral idol]

if u clear the mobs fast enough u have like 10 sec to just spam heal trees

[simple shore]

Priority order for that quest should pretty much be :
Keep Regen on the tree / Dont let the tree die (Cure 2 spam if its at risk) -> Dont let Raya / A-Ruhn / A-Towa die -> Kill large enemies -> Kill small enemies.

Are you using Lucid Dreaming on cooldown?"

mana shouldnt be a big problem

[unborn dock]

yes.

i think i'm just really bad at the game.

sorry for bothering you all. i appreciate the suggestions.

[spiral idol]

its fine as a healer I feel incompetent alot of times too

kek

[simple shore]

Oh, one other thing

when the wisps come out

Dont stand near the tree

The explode for damage around them when they reach you (watching a video of the quest)

[granite swan]

Anyone know the website where people post alot of their Glamours at ? I found it the other day, but cant for the life of me find it again

[simple shore]

https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/

is the one i always remember seeing

[granite swan]

Yup thats it, thanks alot

[old crypt]

How does someone get the road to 70 on a crowded server?

[somber lintel]

I remember seeing somewhere that Crystal Tower was required to progress to an expansion, is that true?

[faint flare]

Yes

[brave ravine]

yea just queue up and run it blind like i did. LFR-level difficulty

[faint flare]

You're required to do it prior to heavensward

[unreal sierra]

i can't complete level 60 scholar quest because the client crashes in about half the time it takes to complete. and then boots me back out to the beginning

[faint flare]

The post arr quests will as you to do it

[unreal sierra]

what can I do to stop that?

[burnt flicker]

lower graphic settings and check to see if you have memory leaks/corrupted files

[unreal sierra]

is there a file scanner in the launcher?

[burnt flicker]

I think so

[unreal sierra]

i do not see one

[burnt flicker]

or not, I do know that steam can psuedo-check it

[unreal sierra]

will try graphics

installed outside of steam

[burnt flicker]

oof

try the graphic settings and worst case scenario, uninstall the game and re-install it overnight

[spiral idol]

can u not search items in mogstation

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/50f71218576 been trying to find where to get this

[unborn dock]

ah, thank you for the pointers, again! i doubled down on myself and beat the quest!

[glad comet]

@spiral idol It should be a set.

[spiral idol]

ah okay

I was looking at armor

[unreal sierra]

I went to standard graphis

it did this after I first installed, as well, for a while then they patched it to fix it

am I just going to have to wait?...

[burnt flicker]

oof

update/reinstall dx11

or switch from dx11 to dx9

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a place to see the lore behind the city states and GCs etc

[unreal sierra]

@burnt flicker that's not necessarily a DX11 problem. that's just the name of the binary

[burnt flicker]

ah

[unreal sierra]

some people online saying it's a framerate issue, to cap it lower

[bronze narwhal]

Heya guys, I just back and found out that every poetics gear is now replaced with augmented version. I want to ask about rings.

Since you cant use the same unique ring, I used to equip augment and non augment version of the ring, how about now, since everything is already augmented 🤔

[burnt flicker]

you can still get non-augmented versions of shire gear

[bronze narwhal]

Oh, where exactly?

[burnt flicker]

Ilyshire, under DoW/DoM I

the II has augmented versions of shire

[tribal sand]

How demanding is the Copied Factory at 480? Is a quick video guide enough?

[bronze narwhal]

Sadly theres no regular rings there

[twilit arch]

no, you cannot get unaugmented poetic gear anymore

DoW/DoM I is the eikonic gear

@tribal sand copied factory isn't that demanding, could give a guide a watch if you really want to but its fine to go in blind

[burnt flicker]

I couldn't check myself since I'm in horrible unskippable MSQ dungeon of ARR

[tribal sand]

Yeah, just got PMed, sounds like I overestimated it. Thank you very much.

[twilit arch]

i would suggest just buying the eikonic ring to fill in the other slot since you can't buy the unaugmented versions anymore

but really the second ring isn't that important, can just make due with whatever for the most part

[bronze narwhal]

I see, thanks for the suggestion

[granite swan]

So how many fights in this game do you have to lose? So far ive found one and hope its the only one of its kind

[twilit arch]

iirc its only two

[granite swan]

is it against the same foe? or different xpac?

[twilit arch]

same dude

[granite swan]

Well my eagerness for SB just died

[heady orbit]

How can i get better weapon?

Im lancer

Also free trial

[granite swan]

Thats to vague. What level are you? Do dungeons or if 50 or 60 buy one with Poetics

[heady orbit]

Only 21

[warped nest]

At very low level, you probably change gear once every 7-9 levels

[shut kelp]

am i doing something wrong, or is this dino horn, just a really low drop rate??

[warped nest]

Low

[granite swan]

Dungeons are probly your only hope unless you want to level up Blacksmithing

[warped nest]

Not necessary

NPC sell gears

[heady orbit]

Idk how to lvl up backsmith

Black*

[warped nest]

NPC gear + dungeon gear is good enough up to lvl 40-ish

[heady orbit]

I saw some gears in ols gridania from shop

[warped nest]

Another decent source for gear is your Grand Company

[honest anvil]

Do i need to finish HW first to fly in HW zones?

[warped nest]

ARR flying is different from expansion

In expansion maps,

You need to finish a set amount of story in that particular zone

And look for aether currents on the map

[heady orbit]

When u say "flying"u mean on mount or character

[warped nest]

To unlock flying for that zone. HW has 6 zones, so you need to do this 6 times, last HW zone doesn't need aether current, but that's not important here

[honest anvil]

on mount i meant

[granite swan]

Dont forget the quested aether currents

[warped nest]

I dunno why KM think character can fly

But my answer is for mount flying

[granite swan]

Well chocobos can fly ... so a character flying isnt nearly as far fetched >.>

[heady orbit]

Cuz KM iz new to ff14

and he played other mmos that char can fly

Strange thing

I saw the full game is 50% off on square enix

[spiral idol]

I think that's the digital upgrade

that doesnt include the game

[heady orbit]

Ahh

Kinda expensive

60$ i think

[granite swan]

50% off the actual game ended the 19th

[small atlas]

at lvl 40 for black mage.. and maybe later but i dont know yet... should i jsut be using fire 1and ice 1 or should i just fire 3 and ice 3 a lot?

blizzard 3*

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

[proud willow]

You can check this to see your BLM rotation at various levels

but basically, no, you don't want to use Fire 3 over and over. Only use it to switch to fire stance or when you can cast it for free

[rugged flicker]

Did the Groundwork ability used to go by another name?

[proud willow]

Nope, it has been called Groundwork since it was added in 5.2

[honest anvil]

when does shire gears become available in HW? after the last msq?

[proud willow]

as soon as you get to Idyllshire, which is during a level 58 MSQ. So, kinda close to the end

[small atlas]

in 40-59 what is F3p? for the BLM thing

[honest anvil]

tks

[twilit arch]

it means firestarter proc

[proud willow]

yeah, F3 with the proc

[twilit arch]

[small atlas]

gotcha, now to practice and mess the rotation up a million times

actually i should probably use the practice dummy things for once

is there a way to drop aggro on striking dummies when u are doing using them? cant fly anywheere for a while

[granite swan]

i think you right click them and theres an option?

[small atlas]

right click is auto attack. maybe another keybind, i will ahve to look into it

[vocal shell]

Right Click the HP bar

[small atlas]

gotcha

[vocal shell]

It should show a reset enmity option

Having a hard time finding the answer if someone could help me. Are the bridgemoogle and demon box minions from attending gold/platinum weddings account wide?

Have a friend that started playing recently but started on a different server because it's preferred and just realized he wouldn't otherwise be able to attend besides making a character on our server.

[twilit arch]

no, they are not account wide minions

[thick trellis]

Okay. Thank you for the confirmation.

[leaden ginkgo]

So i cleared Nier raid 1 and 2, and unlocked Eden, are there any other raids i need to unlock/other blue quests? I still have Post MSQ to do

[remote lintel]

not for shb

[vague forge]

What's the best way to get gear for a fresh 60? Something similar to augmented ironworks

[patent citrus]

augmented shire in iddlyshire

or if you finished hw credit, there will be representative in foundation

[tacit flame]

Just started the process for a Novus weapon, how the flip flap does one farm out low grade materia these days

[patent citrus]

same system, just higher ilvl

[vague forge]

Any MSQ requirement to get to Idyll? Only just reached Churning Mists (53-54, but WHM now 60)

[patent citrus]

yeah, i experienced the same thing

[twilit arch]

yes, idyllshire is around lvl 58 in the msq

[proud willow]

the MSQ requirement is doing the level 58 MSQ that gives you access to Idyllshire

[patent citrus]

i was lv 64 when i reached iddlyshire i think

[vague forge]

Ah okay so I gotta wait till then, thank you

[sonic pecan]

I just bought Shadowbringers. Do I have to re-install the game or what? O__O

[leaden ginkgo]

you got to patch/update it

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.

[warped nest]

Lvl 20 story + lvl 30 lancer

With completed Lancer quests

[heady orbit]

Thanks

I hope he have aoe skills

[remote lintel]

not until like 40

[granite swan]

you dont get squat for aoe till like 50

oh ya, u get a single one at 40

[warped nest]

In the end, Dragoon do end up with a 3-combo AOE, and two 5-combo single target

Just take a while to get there unfortunately

[sinful cipher]

Which job (probably a tank?) Is the best at "carrying" other people in dugeon/raids/pve in general ?

[burnt flicker]

paladin

[sinful cipher]

It's doing a fair enough amount of damage and it's able to survive relatively well on it's own ?

[burnt flicker]

can't confirm since my main tank is DRK

[warped nest]

Paladin has clemency

A pretty potent healing spell

So if you are in a pinch, Paladin can heal a party member or just themselves

[raven sage]

Not the level 80 ones

[twilit arch]

how all level capped dungeons work

[violet forge]

Is it too late for me to put in a RAF code? Ive been playing for a month or so

[twilit arch]

have you paid for a sub yet or are you still on your 30 days free time?

[violet forge]

i got 60 days free time and i have not paid any sub

[twilit arch]

60 days?

[granite swan]

Kugane is so perty

[violet forge]

yeah i got 60 days free. I bought the game when it was 50% off a month ago

[remote lintel]

the base game gives 30 days

[granite swan]

That should only give 30 + 15 days for hitting lv 30 on pref server?

[twilit arch]

starter/complete edition only comes with 30 days unless you bought it for like both pc and ps4

[hidden lotus]

Does anyone know if the BLU Carnival level syncs down to 50?

[raven sage]

It does

[hidden lotus]

hmm

[violet forge]

I dont know but I still have 26 days left, the only thing i bought was the complete edition then i upgrade to collector's edition a week ago

[hidden lotus]

I still have to finish that final challenge for the totems, and I recall.. not being able to.

[spiral idol]

what does collector edition give you

[heady orbit]

What gives u collector s edition?

[twilit arch]

can you screenshot the "service account status" section of your mogstation?

[violet forge]

mounts

[remote lintel]

collectors edition is just cosmetics

[warped nest]

@spiral idol vanity items

[violet forge]

and toys

[patent citrus]

phantasia 👀

[warped nest]

Like mounts, minion, etc

[spiral idol]

oh

welp not important

[raven sage]

@hidden lotus Level doesn't play much of a factor into that. You need to have the right skills unlocked

[spiral idol]

I know alot of ppl say to just charge through the MSQ till u finish shadowbringer then u can farm dungeons

but I dont think I can do that

without being burnout by the end

[remote lintel]

farm dungeons for what

[spiral idol]

at least have fun playing dungeons

cause I actually like playing in a party this game

[warped nest]

I think you misunderstood what people said

[granite swan]

i burnt through ARR & HW, then spent 3-4 days just doin random crap :p

[twilit arch]

I mean, just because people recommend focusing on msq doesn't mean you have to do that

if you want to grind on dungeons to get certain glamours

go for it

[warped nest]

What Kael said

[hidden lotus]

Bleh. I need a guide for that then.

[warped nest]

The recommendation to do MSQ above all else is, MSQ gate a lot of content

[spiral idol]

yeah I guess

[warped nest]

So whenever you ask "when can I get that"

The answer is probably

"when you finish lvl X msq"

[spiral idol]

that I get panicked like "oh shit I have to do this rlly quickly)

[warped nest]

@spiral idol min maxing doesn't happen until max level

And there is no permanent mistake here

[spiral idol]

yeah thats why

[granite swan]

Should be able to do RAF since it shows inactive sub? but im not 100% sure

[twilit arch]

hmm do you have an "Enter recruitment code" option?

[warped nest]

So don't think too hard about it

[rugged nimbus]

where are the lvl 50 gear vendors

[warped nest]

Just have fun and enjoy the game

[remote lintel]

main cities

[warped nest]

The one in Limsa is north east of the main aetheryte

[crude marten]

Why do the FC bonuses turn on and off?

I thought the group disbanded initially, but it turns out it just went off. So is it a time of day only thing?

[warped nest]

FC bonus last 24 hours

[twilit arch]

fc bonuses only last for 24hrs

[warped nest]

So someone need to use it again

[twilit arch]

have to apply a new one

[warped nest]

FC bonus need to be purchased and used

It is not a passive buff that comes from being in a FC

[tawdry otter]

someone know the DD Discord for FFXIV? I want to know the rotation for some classes

[warped nest]

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[violet forge]

This one?

[twilit arch]

yes

[warped nest]

I don't know what DD is

[twilit arch]

so yeah you can enter a code

[warped nest]

But that discord is the one where people do all the number crunch and analysis

[granite swan]

||Hancock|| like all others of his name ... are crazy mofos O.O

Although the joke about a certain merchant was pretty funny

[rugged nimbus]

I dont see the vendor northeast of the crystal

[granite swan]

Should be a blueish icon with a gil bag on it, if you unlocked it

[violet forge]

Can i just put anyone's RAF code? Or do i have to make a character on the same server as the RAF person

[remote lintel]

any

[granite swan]

@rugged nimbus Have you beat ARR yet? I dont think they show up till then

[rugged nimbus]

gothca

[granite swan]

If you want basic lv 50 gear, maybe Revenents Toll? the other vendor needs poetics

[remote lintel]

main city vendors should sell lvl 50 gear

[patent citrus]

yeah npc gears are good enough to do MSQ

[desert blade]

where do i download the trial? 😦

[twilit arch]

!faq freetrial

[zinc orbit]

Free Trial Limitations

Limitation details
Download

[desert blade]

Thank you 🙂

[rugged nimbus]

so the vendors do show up before ARR completion or not?

[warped nest]

They don't

Even if they do, you won't earn enough of the currency required to buy from them

[crude marten]

Lol i got hit with Hysteria and thought my controller was broken

[warped nest]

Until you finish base ARR

And unlock a boat load of ARR post game contents

[patent citrus]

You can try to buy the ironworks gear in revenant tolls

[crude marten]

@patent citrus yeah bought 4 sets since 50 gear is very useful, also the most aesthetically pleasing

[humble arch]

is there anything i should be spending gil on as a free trial player? im capped right now, =/

[patent citrus]

cause in my case, I can buy the shire gear before I saw the HW credits

in iddlyshire, before the representative appears in foundation

[shut kelp]

how do you change what the right click action does?

im trying to rebind stuff

[rugged nimbus]

if i were to buy stuff off the MB for basic lvl 50 stuff what would be decent prices?

[granite swan]

@humble arch Nothing really expensive you can buy on free trial sadly, you can dump it into leveling crafters tho if you can find some of the right vendors

@rugged nimbus For armor, just do your job quests

[warped nest]

@rugged nimbus I strong recommend against that

[remote lintel]

@shut kelp system > keybind

[warped nest]

You only need to gear to your story, don't worry about gearing to lvl 50 if your story is only like lvl 37

[twilit arch]

honestly, if you haven't finished arr yet, then i would just focus on that. Do you job quests as Maethil said to get lvl 50 armour, and once you've done the final quests of ARR you'll be able to buy a weapon with poetics

[warped nest]

Don't spend gils unnecessarily

[shut kelp]

im trying to lol

[patent citrus]

i forgot when can you earn poetics haha

[shut kelp]

right click clears the commands

i cant find it

[granite swan]

after you beat ARR

[remote lintel]

when you reach lvl 50

[warped nest]

You can earn poetics before finishing ARR base story (but it is super dumb how it is earned)

[autumn oriole]

Selling MSQ gears on the market got me a lot of extra money because poetics gears are better for a few levels

[warped nest]

So the more practical answer is finishing ARR base story

[rugged nimbus]

how do you earn poetics after story

[warped nest]

Post story contents

[remote lintel]

doing lvl 50+ content

[warped nest]

Showers you with it

[autumn oriole]

Roulettes and 50+ duties give lots of poetics

[warped nest]

To be specific, lvl 50/60/70 duties

[granite swan]

MSQ Roulette gives 300 for 45ish min of time and good xp

[warped nest]

Because they were the endgame contents on their respective expansion

[crude marten]

If its not divisible by 10 for level req, sell it to market

[warped nest]

Ehhhhhhhh

[stable herald]

is the max rank for shared fates 3?

[warped nest]

Yes

[stable herald]

good. im starting to get exhausted at rank 2

60 is a bit much..

[tawdry onyx]

Hello, Is the only way to level at 73 fates if i can't continue msq?. i'm queing for stormblood trial. but i doubt thats going pop any time soon, since my server is sleeping.

[stable herald]

how much is rank 3? 120?

[warped nest]

Just max out at 3

[stable herald]

oh phew

@tawdry onyx What server, bud?

[tawdry onyx]

Louisolx

[stable herald]

ah damn

[tawdry onyx]

Yeah they sleeping for a few more hours prob

[remote lintel]

beast tribe

[patent citrus]

even with tank/healer queue? 🤔

still won't pop?

[tawdry onyx]

i am legit been in que for 3 hours and 15 mins, as a tank

[patent citrus]

o_o

alright

[tawdry onyx]

never done beast tribe, does that give decent exp

[warped nest]

Which trial?

[tawdry onyx]

Stormblood

[warped nest]

They are decent exp

[spiral idol]

3 hours?

[tawdry onyx]

THE rOYAL MENAGERIE

[spiral idol]

as a tank

Jesus

[warped nest]

Which boss?

Ahhh

That one

[patent citrus]

I think you should always try to requeue after 60 mins wait time

[warped nest]

Ehhh

[remote lintel]

also make sure your DF language settings are all turned on

[tawdry onyx]

its 7am, in Eu. it normally gets queit around this tiem

[hasty cosmos]

I have a friend who plays on Louisoix and she has told me similar stories of extremely long queues early in the morning

[warped nest]

I think a more fruitful idea would be asking players for help in PF

[twilit arch]

what duty finder languages do you have enable, out of curiosity

[warped nest]

And unsync it

[shut kelp]

Figures it out!!

[patent citrus]

I have a weird experience like after 60 mins, i requeue and 5 mins later it popped

[tawdry onyx]

DF lang?

[patent citrus]

yeah

[warped nest]

On top of your Duty finder

[patent citrus]

look at your top left window

[spiral idol]

I play at 4am in Hyperion time

[warped nest]

There is JEDF

[spiral idol]

lmao

[sturdy glacier]

What should I spend yellow crafter's scrip on from custom deliveries?

[patent citrus]

oh it's top right haha

[tawdry onyx]

oh i only had english enable

[sturdy glacier]

(assuming I don't need the armor)
