questions-and-help

[tidal yarrow]

gotcha

i tried wol ex for first time today and its a loooot easier than savage

[median locust]

wait, third, the one during 2nd thunderstorm?

or the one after

[tidal yarrow]

mm the third, im not sure when it comes

first is move second donut and then third

[median locust]

There's the first before first F14, second after F14 (always donut), the one during 2nd Thunderstorm, and then the fourth one which I don't remember when it is, that last one is random

the other 3 are scripted

always regular - donut - regular

[tidal yarrow]

ah gotcha

yep makes sense

[robust notch]

@verbal token This is going to be a very late answer, but you can type /mcancel in the chat to cancel a macro.

[verbal token]

ty sir o7

[robust notch]

[halcyon kite]

FFXIV is only 6,000 Crysta right?

[wet cradle]

is the crystarium delivery a good source of xp/yellow scrips?

never done it

[wintry chasm]

Amazingly good

[faint flare]

Yes, very good for whatever job you do it on

[wintry chasm]

But it's one time only

[wet cradle]

oh....

[grizzled mural]

Hey I pay directly for my sub instead of steam does it only charge you 1 dollar the first time?

[wintry chasm]

It's not a thing to you can do over and over

[faint flare]

Yes

[halcyon kite]

FFXIV is only 6,000 Crysta right?

[faint flare]

The 1 dollar is a test

To see if the card is real

[wet cradle]

what can I do to level up after that?

[faint flare]

You'll be refunded the dollar

[grizzled mural]

Do I get 30 days subbed?

[wintry chasm]

Ishgard restoration, leves, custom deliveries @wet cradle

[faint flare]

When you buy the game yes

[wet cradle]

thanks!

[grizzled mural]

Que?

[wintry chasm]

Oh also the new beast tribe

[grizzled mural]

It’s my 3rd month

[faint flare]

When you buy the game you get 30days free. After that you're paying

[hollow rain]

is there a list somewhere of which beast tribes are for crafting and which for combat exp

[grizzled mural]

Yeah?

[gritty oracle]

Crafting:Ixal, Namazu, moogle, dwarf
Gathering: qitari maybe
Combat: everything se

[grizzled mural]

So is it going to charge me 14 in a few minutes?

[halcyon kite]

bruh

[gritty oracle]

You have to set up a subscription

[halcyon kite]

the game is $5.999

i wasted a cent

[faint flare]

Yes

[wintry chasm]

Namazu are crafting and gathering otherwise @gritty oracle's list is right

[faint flare]

The 1 dollar is a test to see if the card is real, it will be refunded and proper money taken

[hollow rain]

@gritty oracle tyy

[grizzled mural]

Do I get my 60 day vet reward or no

[faint flare]

When the sub goes through you should

[grizzled mural]

Cool

[gritty oracle]

Only if you get a 60d subscription

Yeah sorry the free days

[grizzled mural]

I know that already

[lavish vortex]

Is there any way to move faster when you go backwards in standard type movement settings?

[grizzled mural]

This would be my 2nd months subbed

[gritty oracle]

You can change to legacy camera so if you try to backtrack, your character (but not the camera) will turn around and run in that direction

Or you could turn 90° and strafe

[lavish vortex]

Yeah, but I want to stay on Standard mode for some mechanics in E7S

Whats strafe?

[lone spruce]

What in the fuck is this

[gritty oracle]

Move sideways

[faint flare]

Moving left and right while facing forward

[lone spruce]

I was on my way to a quest and it turned around and shwacked me and I died immediately 😭

[faint flare]

Thats a hunt mob

Its part of a thing you unlock at 50

[gritty oracle]

Yeah idk why hunt mobs are aggressive I nearly died to one too when I was doing msq. Alert your FC and give the mob a wide berth.

[lone spruce]

FC?

[quasi hawk]

Only A-ranks are aggressive

[gritty oracle]

Free company

[lone spruce]

Idk what that is, I'm just running around doing quests

[lavish vortex]

@faint flare and if I strafe I move at the same speed as when I’m walking/running forward?

[faint flare]

Yes

[gritty oracle]

A-ranks shouldn't spawn in the middle of the road then, change my mind

[halcyon kite]

wait hold up

i didnt pay taxes

[lavish vortex]

Thanks!

[lone spruce]

Bruh and now I gotta pay like 500 gil to teleport 1000 miles away to where I was for my quest

[halcyon kite]

when i bought the game

[lone spruce]

Is there a way in this game to make yourself undetectable by enemies for a short amount of time/

[faint flare]

Only for gatherers and somewhat ninja

[wintry chasm]

^

Just uh

Walk around it

[lone spruce]

Thankfully I had just enough room to squeeze by, it spawned near an out of bounds zone and I'd have to walk all the way around the big-ass rock otherwise

[gritty oracle]

@lone spruce Make sure to utilize airship, ferry and favoured spots to get around cheaper. And get a RAF code for the 99 tickets

[lone spruce]

I usually do, but there was no direct route I could take to where I needed to go, so I was impatient and decided to just teleport

[gritty oracle]

If I were you, I'd put my favoureds in Limsa, Drybone and Mor Dhona

[lone spruce]

Currently I'm New Gridania--keep forgetting to change it back lol

[lavish vortex]

Whats a RAF code?

[gritty oracle]

Recruit a friend

[wintry chasm]

Refer a friend code

[lavish vortex]

Oh!! I see

[gritty oracle]

Mods should really make a RAF faq

[wintry chasm]

There is one

Literally !faq RAF

[frosty badger]

is there an option to auto-sync FATE level?

[leaden ginkgo]

Macro

[median locust]

No but you can macro it

[faint flare]

/Levelsync

[warped nest]

Did Yoshi-P said anything on the next ultimate?

[faint flare]

No

Thats probably 5.55

[warped nest]

Last thing I know for sure is they won't do one for 5.3

[faint flare]

Or whatever

[warped nest]

But nothing is said on when one is coming

Or if it is getting delayed?

[faint flare]

No

[warped nest]

Noted

[faint flare]

Many believe that they're probably just aiming for 2 since they take awhile to make, and do them for X.1 and X.5 so the delay shouldn't have affected it too much probably maybe

[open rivet]

I've not received my chocobo 4p mount since I bought it yesterday,
should I wait a while longer or attempt to redeliver & if it's still not there contact support?

[frosty badger]

not working

[faint flare]

All lowercase

[frosty badger]

ok thanks

[agile laurel]

@open rivet for context mine did take about 7 hours to arrive

[lean yarrow]

For the fashion report, does 100pts get you anything other than the title and store unlocks faster?

[wintry chasm]

It's probably busy since the new items JUST came out

[lean yarrow]

More MGP?

[wintry chasm]

Make sure your mailbox isn't full and just wait a bit longer Vanessa

No Llama

You just need to hit 80 for max mgp

[lean yarrow]

awesome, thank you!

[faint flare]

100 is just the title and store unlocks

[agile laurel]

and for clarification the store unlocks are kinda a stealth-progression

you can't tell your progress on unlocking them

[halcyon kite]

is gun breaker fun?

[faint flare]

Yes

Very active

During its burst

And ammo combo

[halcyon kite]

o o f

[spring cipher]

Does a small sized FC house also have apartments/airship options?

[faint flare]

Yes

[halcyon kite]

wait how do you even buy a house

and how much is it

[faint flare]

Smalls are 3mill on average

[spring cipher]

Thanks, Vinyl.

[wispy parcel]

Issue is housing in XIV is limited. And I dont mean there isnt a lot to do with them, I mean there just aren't enough housing plots for everyone

Housing shortage has always been an issue in XIV

[halcyon kite]

oh jeez

i’m b r o k e

[proven bay]

It's an even bigger issue now though, since the auto demolish timer thing has been removed

[dusky bear]

it's a good thing actually as it means a lot of plots will be bombed at once, and they also talked about releases more wards now. so yeah patience but yup multiple will open at once.

[wispy parcel]

They released more wards back in SB, helped for like, a day

[agile laurel]

tbh they're adding a... quite stupid amount of plots in 5.31

like

it's a good few

[gaunt cove]

does the class you pick affect what job you can do?

[wispy parcel]

Player base is currentlu bigger than ever but yea it might help a bit

[gaunt cove]

im totally new so idk anything

[wintry chasm]

Yes and no

You can unlock and level everything on one character

[wispy parcel]

You can do every job with one character. Your class is just what you start as and you are free to switch at level 10

[gaunt cove]

ok so it doesnt really matter?

just changes where you start off im guessing

[wintry chasm]

Yeah your starting class will become a specific job. If you want to level another job you have to unlock another class and level it up as well

[gaunt cove]

oh alright

so i wanna play samurai what class do i pick

[wintry chasm]

None

[agile laurel]

It's best to not overcomplicate jobs as a concept and just think of them as extensions to classes, OR just other classes

[wintry chasm]

Expansion jobs don't need a class

[agile laurel]

samurai is a job that doesn't have a class

[wispy parcel]

SAM starts at level 50

[gaunt cove]

oh alright thats cool

[agile laurel]

only basegame classes expand into jobs

[wintry chasm]

You just need to be a level 50, own Stormblood and you can get it

[wispy parcel]

Doesnt have a class

[agile laurel]

expansion jobs are just that

[tidal yarrow]

are fcs focused on playing savage or high-end content a thing, or for that a static is the only way

[agile laurel]

yes and no

some FCs have statics within them

but it's not a guaranteed thing to find

not as much as wow for example

[wispy parcel]

FCs can be for all sorts of content

[tidal yarrow]

like, i'd like to be in a group where the main goal is to play high-end content, but not necessarily be on a static with schedules and 8 established players

[wispy parcel]

That might be a bit difficult cause running a savage learning party with different people everytime is a significant disadvantage

[leaden ginkgo]

Can I join a free company so long as we share the same data centre?

[gaunt cove]

is there a specific class that lets me pick black mage immediately?

[wispy parcel]

No you have to be on the same server

[raven sage]

You have to be on the same world

Thaumaturge, Rocky

[gaunt cove]

ty

[wispy parcel]

You become a black mage by beating the level 30 Thaumaturge class quest

word of warning low level black mage sucks ass, doesnt really get fun until level 60. Same with Paladin

[agile laurel]

all ARR classes evolve into jobs at level 30

all not-ARR 'classes'/jobs are simply picked up as a job from the relevant place once the relevant prequisites are met

[dusky bear]

You become a black mage by beating the level 30 Thaumaturge class quest
@wispy parcel this is false and will confuse them
as there are 2x lv 30 class quest.

@gaunt cove you wanna go to ul'dah, join Thaumaturge guild, then do the quests at lv 1,5,10,15,20,25,30 , basically every 5 lvl's you get a new weapon for Thaumaturge. after you beat lv 30, you wanna beat Another lv 30 (which is the black mage job) so there are 2x 30's.

[wispy parcel]

I mean yea. You should do your job quests immediatly after unlocking them

[wintry chasm]

Pre 60 Black Mage is fine

[drifting ruin]

Just farmed eden's verse to get 480 gear, what allegory gear should I buy first? body/legs then rest?

[wintry chasm]

It fundamentally doesn't change much. Just the skills you repeat

[wispy parcel]

I always get accessories first but thats just me

[wintry chasm]

Assuming you got the relic weapon or something and so don't need the weapon the body or leg would be the best

[dusky bear]

Yam that depends entirely on your class/job/build as it's different from class to class since 2ndary stats matters.

if you really care about accurate build paths, i recommend looking up the balance discord for min/max and find the best possible path for your job

[drifting ruin]

yea I got relic

[wintry chasm]

Eh

Do you care about best in slot? (Requires doing savage raiding)

[drifting ruin]

nah not really

that involves finding an FC or something

[wintry chasm]

Then yeah it's not really important

Just go for more ilvl

Also static not FC

[dusky bear]

it's still important to get the right 2ndary stats, as they improve gameplay even if it isn't BiS though. such as, there is a difference between having spell speed, and not having. so savage isn't neccesary

[wintry chasm]

Though the first few aren't that bad with randoms in party finder

@dusky bear not really

Higher ilvl = more main stat >>>>>> sub stats

[spiral idol]

how do you make a separate set of armor for other classes

[wispy parcel]

E1S-E4S are pretty easy now

[spiral idol]

like I change from whm to miner and all of my eq got unequipped

[wintry chasm]

E1-E4S gives outdated gear Sora

[spiral idol]

and when I change back to whm none of my eq is back

[wintry chasm]

Go to the character menu and then above the character portrait there is a button that looks like a piece of paper

[spiral idol]

nvm I found it

its the gear set list

[wintry chasm]

Press that and it opens yeah

[spiral idol]

thanks anyway

[wintry chasm]

You can put those gearsets on the hotbar for easier access

I'd recommend that

[plain python]

I want to make a macro that target my minion and /beckon it. What is the command text for minion? 😮

[wintry chasm]

Can't think of a way to make you automatically target the minion

Then again I'm not a big macro guy

[spiral idol]

oh yeah I should

[stark turret]

So when i upgrade free trial to full like i am soon does the 30 days start the minute of activation

[dusky bear]

yes.

[stark turret]

And how does sub work i dont want it to automatically take 13 bucks a month

Can i do manual

[dusky bear]

depends on your settings

Yes

[stark turret]

Ok cool

[wintry chasm]

Yeah just make sure auto renew is off

[stark turret]

Ok yeah for sure thanks

[dusky bear]

or buy crysta, and pay via crysta

basically acc balance

[stark turret]

Oh shoot i didnt think of payment method i can jusr use my master card

?

[dusky bear]

think so, paypal works too

[stark turret]

Ah yeah im not a super paypal persob

Bank has issues with it

[wispy parcel]

paypal isnt very safe so I wouldnt use it regularly

[dusky bear]

i just buy a hefty crysta sum and then manually charge, this way if i'm busy with work irl, or just go afk, I do not have to deal with any options, and when back can just press charge again.

[stark turret]

I used it 2nd time in years today sending a friend money so he can also buy game then removed my card off

Abd deleted acc

Wel i might do the 77 dollar

For 6 month option

It makes sense financially

[dusky bear]

thats if you play for 6 months.

[hollow pelican]

About the unreal trials and faux hollows... how many leaves you get every time? I want the mount, but it's 600 leaves

[faint flare]

Depends how lucky you get

[hollow pelican]

I see, what is the usual reward?

[faint flare]

You get 5 from the retelling then like 20-30 from finding the chest

100 if you find the 1x1 fox

[fringe lotus]

I saw people saying you can turn in dungeon loot to your grand company, how do you do that?

[hollow pelican]

100 if you find the 1x1 fox
@faint flare How hard is this to do?

[faint flare]

in a week. You probably average around 50 leaves

Hard

He's not always there

[hollow pelican]

I see, so 12 weeks of farming...

3 months, jesus

[spiral idol]

to get into novice network u need to be invited?

[faint flare]

Or get lucky with 3 lines in wondrous tales

[dapper oyster]

eh, deepshadow is worse than neo arcadian?

[faint flare]

Yes

[hollow pelican]

Does the trial even last that long? I know unreal trials are shifter after some time (how much BTW)

[faint flare]

It will last until 5.4

Which is average 3 months inbetween major patches

[dapper oyster]

so what to do with the phantasmagoria tomestone? @@

[faint flare]

Looking at December if no delays

[slate arrow]

buy neo ishgard crafting materials

[faint flare]

The faux hallows rewards might not rotate but we dont know

[hollow pelican]

Not taking the risk, sorry

[dapper oyster]

crafting, by crafting you mean i have to do the weaver thing?

[wintry chasm]

so what to do with the phantasmagoria tomestone? @@
@dapper oyster crafting materials mostly

[slate arrow]

no you can just sell them on the marketboard

[wintry chasm]

Yes for crafting you need to level crafting classes

[faint flare]

You can also buy the mount off market

[dapper oyster]

im going to die

[faint flare]

If you got like 30mil

[median locust]

22mil on Primal Pog

[dapper oyster]

so buy the mats, sell the mats, and use the gil to buy the crafted neo arcadian?

[smoky girder]

whats a good gill making scheme

[faint flare]

Crafting

If no crafters, treasure maps

And selling tomes

[smoky girder]

im still in sormblood >.>

[slate arrow]

Then don't worry about it

It's absurdly hard to make gil when you can't access level 80 content

Doubly so for crafters since

[dapper oyster]

so allegory is better than neo arcadian

[slate arrow]

!action Trained Eye

[zinc orbit]

**Trained Eye** : lvl 80 CRP (250 CP) (0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases quality by 100%.

Available only on the first step. Recipe level must be at least 10 levels below yours.

Powered by XIVAPI

[faint flare]

I mean lv70 maps can make money...

Market depending

[shrewd mirage]

What is the different between a range and caster?

[faint flare]

Caster has cast bars

[slate arrow]

ranged don't have cast bars, casters have cast bars

[faint flare]

Also different role actions

[wintry chasm]

And gear

[faint flare]

And SMN/Rdm can raise

[remote lintel]

and they do different types of damage mostly

[wispy parcel]

And while it isnt universal ranged tend to be more support heavy

[leaden ginkgo]

do you guys have higher ping in ff than other games?

[remote lintel]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

oh

[median locust]

also: the connection display ingame is not ping

[leaden ginkgo]

how would I pick which server to transfer to if I don't care about preferred?

[median locust]

if that's what you're looking at

[leaden ginkgo]

ik I'm checking with resource monitor

[median locust]

kk

[remote lintel]

just pick one

[median locust]

all servers in a region are located in the same physical location

all NA servers are in Sacramento CA

Aether, Primal and Crystal

[leaden ginkgo]

the thing is I'm picking one on eu cereberus and apparently there's unofficial language ones

[median locust]

ahh

Shiva is unofficial German, Moogle is French

[remote lintel]

English is the predominant language in eu

[median locust]

every other server is English mostly

[ancient salmon]

If you can get on Cerb (and want an English server), it's pretty good right now. The sell prices are often 2x higher than the other Chaos servers

[dapper oyster]

alright finished all MSQ and now i dont know what to do first

i opened all the duty roulette

[tidal yarrow]

go do savage

😄

[median locust]

Gear up to iLv480 first at least

[halcyon kite]

does the samurai's DOT do more dmg or midare

[tidal yarrow]

and meld materia on it

you always want to apply the DOT and then you can go midare

when the dot is running out reapply it, on a constant cycle

[faint flare]

Yes, the dot does more damage if left to tick

[median locust]

Apply dot, then spam midare until you have to apply dot again

[faint flare]

Always apply the dot

[tidal yarrow]

on some instances, like savage fights, you may want to use midare first, but i dont think you should care of this rn

[halcyon kite]

oh okay

[dapper oyster]

480 ilevel, so allegory armors?

[tidal yarrow]

480 most accessible gear is neo ishgardian gear, you can either craft it or buy it on mb

make sure it's high quality, and with phantasmagoria you can augment it and get super easily a full 490 ilv gear

[dapper oyster]

we can augment it?!

[median locust]

Crafted 480 gear which is upgradeable to 490
Eden's Verse normal gives 480 gear
Relic weapon is 485 and extremely easy to obtain
Allegory gear is 490, upgradeable to 500, but weekly capped
Puppet's bunker gives one unupgradeable 490 left side piece per week, plus an upgrade for Allegory gear

[dapper oyster]

i bought lot of neo arcadian stuff -.-

[median locust]

Neo-Ishgardian HQ is fine

huge emphasis on HQ

[dapper oyster]

i think 85% of my gear atm is neo ishgardian

[median locust]

non HQ is useless

[zinc orbit]

[dapper oyster]

ah yes, my neo ishgardian has this green F next to their name

i guess thats HQ

[median locust]

[faint flare]

[median locust]

?

[dapper oyster]

yes

its green tho

not white

[median locust]

There's a counter in Eulmore that'll let you turn Neo Ishgardian gear for tokens, then you can trade those tokens + some phantasmagoria items for 490 versions of the Neo Ishgardian gear

Make sure you have enough items BEFORE you turn all your gear in

[shrewd mirage]

Which mark is the white mage?

[median locust]

having empty slots because you don't have enough sucks

1st green one

[tidal yarrow]

they made it such a complicated process, i wish you could do it with like, 2 clicks

[unreal cipher]

Hey guys, I got a question. So, yesterday I got the summoner class, I tried going to a dungeon and I noticed that, due to my higher level, I can't use certain spells or summons inside the dungeon (I went to a lvl 20 one). BUT, i teamed up with another summoner and I noticed that he was able to summon Titan the whole time

how can I do that? I only got Ifrit atm but I'd love to use it

[faint flare]

Once you unlock the egi you keep ot

Even when synced

[median locust]

Titan is a class quest

but you keep it for lower levels

[lucid grove]

can you enter duties through party finder premades if you have penalty from leaving a duty?

[faint flare]

So do your lv35 class quest

[median locust]

No

[faint flare]

No

[lucid grove]

thanks

[tidal yarrow]

can you create a pf and host it while on penalty?

[unreal cipher]

So, I can summon Titan on lower level dungeons but not Ifrit?

[tidal yarrow]

i was wondering it yesterday

[median locust]

You can but then you can't queue for anything

[faint flare]

If you're under 30 you cant sumnon ifirit

[tidal yarrow]

no worries it takes 3 hours to fill anyway

[faint flare]

Cause ifirit is summon 3

And you lose that when syncrd under

Titan is sumnon 2

[median locust]

Yeah Ifrit's spell is summon 3 which is level 30. Titan just replaces your Topaz Carbuncle, and that spell is... I think 15

[faint flare]

Which is lv15

[lucid grove]

put up an e8s prog party and it will take over a hour to fill during this time

[unreal cipher]

OOOh, I didn't know that, I haven't unlocked Titan yet but since I got Ifrit first I assumed that Titan would be a higher lvl summon

thanks! I'll check the quest

[faint flare]

Ifirit is 30, titan is 35 and garuda is 45

[viscid scroll]

is this the place to ask tech support qns for ffxiv?

or is there a better channel

[median locust]

Here is fine, if people here don't know, try #technology-discussion

[dapper oyster]

There's a counter in Eulmore that'll let you turn Neo Ishgardian gear for tokens, then you can trade those tokens + some phantasmagoria items for 490 versions of the Neo Ishgardian gear
@median locust ok so i found the NPC that allows me to purchase augmented neo ishgardian but which one that exchange our neo ishgardian into token?

[faint flare]

Same npc

It takes 3800 tomes for everything so don't trade it all at oncr

[dapper oyster]

OH got it, the option is earn eulmoran certificate

me smart!

[leaden ginkgo]

I need some help regarding the grand company hunts

So far it says there are x3 left to hunt in hatali but I can't fibd them?

[faint flare]

You'll need to run the dungeon multiple times

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh it is actually a dungeon!

What is it called? I can't actually find the same it just says dungeon

[faint flare]

Hatali

[leaden ginkgo]

I must be blind I can't see it

[faint flare]

Unlocks in...vesper bay i think

[viscid scroll]

Doing the dungeon once will finish all 3 entries i believe

[faint flare]

Its a optional one

[viscid scroll]

you fight enough mobs to get all 3 in just 1 run

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks I'll go find it now

[soft sleet]

whats the fastest way to level an astrologian?

[faint flare]

Dungeons

[median locust]

Roulettes, then highest level dungeon you can queue for

over and over

[soft sleet]

cool. like do the bonus xp for each roulette then just hit the highest level roulette I can?

[open coral]

Yes. First daily roulette.

Then highest level specific queue

[median locust]

Roulettes that are worth doing are Levelling, Alliance, MSQ and Trials, others don't give much exp

[open coral]

Don't roulette after your first of each for the day.

[median locust]

Do them once, then dungeons

[scarlet sandal]

msq not much exp huh

unless you don't mean msq roullete

[soft sleet]

oh like just select the single highest dungeon available

[median locust]

I said it's worth doing

[open coral]

MSQ roulette is the highest xp daily.

Leveling and Alliance are next.

Normal Raid, Trials, and 50/60/70 are last, and don't give a ton of xp, but you do get poetics out of Normal Raid and 50/60/70, so they're worth it if you need cap gear before 70.

[median locust]

Trials and Normal Raids don't give that much but they're quick and give you some variety

[remote lintel]

trials are fine for the time they take

[median locust]

so I do them anyway

50/60/70 you just get keeper of the lake or snowcloak 90% of the time, screw that

[scarlet sandal]

snowcloak is the actual best dungeon in the game tho

[median locust]

nope

[halcyon glen]

nope

[median locust]

definitely not lol

[scarlet sandal]

yup

[remote lintel]

snowcloak boring

[wispy parcel]

Keeper of the lake looks cool but every time I run it I run it with assholes

[scarlet sandal]

keepe4 of the lake and sohm al can f off tho

So sick of those

[open coral]

Snowcloak sucks because people always stand in the cold wind before the second boss, kick the snowballs too early on the second boss, pull all five dragons before the last boss, and don't hide for Lunar Cry on the last boss.

The music is nice though

[scarlet sandal]

music is GREAT

i love snowcloak

[dapper oyster]

ugh im so confused

[open coral]

What's got you confused?

[dapper oyster]

i was going to be something like
for now i will use my SMN to get some tomestone for my AST
but then i checked there is this yorha equipment which is drop equipment
meaning i have to build equipment for my AST first, then go to that raid, then roll for it

[sly vessel]

How long does it usually take to finish labyrinth of the ancient

[tawny granite]

Hello, a friend and i are new to this game and were debating on what home world to join, we are on aether. Is there a difference between all these home worlds O_O thanks in advance :D

[median locust]

20 minutes @sly vessel

[remote lintel]

yorha doesn't have a high req

[dapper oyster]

im using neo arcadian on my SMN atm and im using it because i need to have good ilevel to unlock duty roulette at level 80

[sly vessel]

Ok ty ty

[dapper oyster]

my ast is on 423

[remote lintel]

@tawny granite it doesn't matter

[open coral]

@dapper oyster You can just go grab E5-8 Normal gear.

[oak jolt]

Still on MSQ 44 but have two 50s. This ilvl 90 gear will be good enough to finish up to 3.0?

[median locust]

No

[dapper oyster]

gdi so much gear option it irks me lol

[remote lintel]

that's endgame

[steep heron]

@tawny granite pick a world that has a preferred status. Double xp there

[median locust]

iLv90 is good enough until you start heavensward, then it's too low

[agile laurel]

Having some urgent problems - got disconnected instantly, whenever I try to relog it lets me through the queue and then immediately disconnects me. What gives?

[median locust]

Pick up Ironworks gear you can buy with Poetics

[agile laurel]

90002 error

[dapper oyster]

then there is crystarium gear, edenchoir, my god

[open coral]

@oak jolt When you reach level 50 in the MSQ, you'll start earning a type of currency Tomestones of Poetics which can be exchanged for (at level 50) ilevel 130 gear.

[remote lintel]

that's tomes gear and savage

[steep heron]

That's a connection error to the server
Reset router maybe?

[tawny granite]

the preferred world is currently not taking anymore players should we just wait till it repopens?
@steep heron ty btw :D

[remote lintel]

sure if you want

[steep heron]

Yes you shouldve uld wait

[dapper oyster]

what is tomes gear and savage

[oak jolt]

Yeah. I wasn't sure how quick I can get the 130s before diving into HW.

[dapper oyster]

oh wait, they are the hardcore option?

[remote lintel]

allegory tomes

savage is

[open coral]

If you want the Road to 70 buff, then you should wait. But honestly you can easily level even without it.

[steep heron]

Usually later at night.
You guys can make other characters elsewhere to see how they sound like and what not

[proven bay]

@tawny granite It'll be open between 1am and 7am. Servers don't take new characters when a lot of people are online

[open coral]

@oak jolt You'll get 600 poetics - enough to buy a weapon - just from doing the two final 8-man instances in 2.0. After that, there are about 80 quests before you reach 3.0 (HW).

[remote lintel]

@dapper oyster 480 - neo ish, edencall
490 - augmented neo ish, crystarium
500 - augmented crystarium, edenchoir

those are the gear

[open coral]

During which time you'll be able to easily obtain more poetics both from MSQ instances, and from roulettes and optional instances.

[tawny granite]

hmm oki ill try later on tonight then, was hoping to play today but i dont mind waiting for the buffs :D ty @proven bay

[proven bay]

[dapper oyster]

well with allegory limit it might took 2 months just to complete one set of crystarium gear

[remote lintel]

yes

[dapper oyster]

i want to cry

[oak jolt]

Appreciated. Thought it was a little shorter. Time to get to those 8 mans. Thanks.

[remote lintel]

if you're just doing casual comment you don't need it

content

[candid barn]

hello ! i have two screens and watch youtube videos on my first screen while playing FF, but the videos tend to freeze (the sound still goes normally) when i am on FF. I play on windowed fullscreen. Has it happened to anyone ?

[remote lintel]

you can just buy and upgrade neo ish

[dapper oyster]

oh wait there is yorha type 51 which is lower

[remote lintel]

51 sucks

[steep heron]

they are chasing ilevel so it could be good

[open coral]

The type 51 is from Copied Factory.

[dapper oyster]

but what if i use it just to enter the later raid?

[steep heron]

also there is Phantasmagoria gear which is 460

[proven bay]

That's a hardware issue I'd guess @candid barn Most likely your CPU can't handle it

[remote lintel]

53 is 490

[dapper oyster]

oh phantasmagoria is 460?

good

[remote lintel]

also did you get your artifact gear and relic

[candid barn]

@proven bay hmmm weird it doesn't always happen. Oh well, thx for the answer

[proven bay]

I can freely watch videos and play on multiple screens. I also play on windowed borderless

[dapper oyster]

artifact gear?

[remote lintel]

from grenoldt

[dapper oyster]

oh no what are those T_T

OH

[open coral]

@dapper oyster What you're doing is basically an accelerated version of what everyone does at max level to improve their ilevel.

[dapper oyster]

yeah

got one

[steep heron]

like the iconic gear
kinda pointless to get now since its 430

[dapper oyster]

errr 2, for healer and dps

[steep heron]

but the Resistance weapon Relic is great. 485 so that should help quite a bit

[open coral]

Artifact gear refers to the free 430 ilevel left side gear you can get from Gerolt's doppelganger in the Tempest.

[proven bay]

Yes it'd definitely be a hardware issue then. The times it doesn't happen is when your CPU isn't overloaded @candid barn

[dapper oyster]

@dapper oyster What you're doing is basically an accelerated version of what everyone does at max level to improve their ilevel.
@open coral im so lost and confused because to be honest most game ive ever played is kinda linear and doesnt have much option
but this game have option and it kinda confuses me
it used to be simpler with ironworks scaevan but at this level i just dont know

[remote lintel]

ok

there are multiple gear sets that share ilvl

some are gotten through casual content

[faint flare]

The gear is linear, just neo ishgardian is a jump start

[open coral]

@dapper oyster If you'd hit level 80 in the first few weeks after Shadowbringers came out, all of these options wouldn't exist. It's very linear. That's why I said you're experiencing an accelerated version.

[remote lintel]

some are savage

[soft sleet]

probably a question noone has a proper answer to but I'm curious - when would you expect based on the games historical timeline the next expansion to come out?

[faint flare]

!faq gearguide

[zinc orbit]

Gearing up by level

Click on a link below to view the gear guides on consolegamewiki.

Level 50
Level 60
Level 70
Level 80

[remote lintel]

@soft sleet next year, summer

[dapper oyster]

ok how about this, just augment all neo ishgardian on my SMN
and use my SMN to get phantasmagoria and allegory and give them all to my AST

[steep heron]

Might be delayed to fall tho

[faint flare]

In theory the next day expansion is summer next year

Bur covid hit

So

Delays

Probably falll

[soft sleet]

okay, cool. I was wondering how long I had to get to & enjoy shadowbringers before the next exp

[steep heron]

yes kyn that sounds good

[remote lintel]

phanta gear isn't great

[steep heron]

and look up the Resistance weapons
those will help

he doesnt care about stats
he just needs ilevel

outside of savage stats dont matter

[remote lintel]

then run eden verse

[raven sage]

They don't need phanta gear though if they have neo ish

[remote lintel]

^

[raven sage]

Even for ast

[open coral]

@soft sleet With the delays due to quarantine, we're not likely to see the next expansion until next fall since their schedule was pushed back by about three months. So instead of a July expansion we're likely looking at an October expansion.

[soft sleet]

cool, thats even better for me

ages to enjoy all this content

[open coral]

Yep

[remote lintel]

marinate in it

[wispy parcel]

They are still gonna reveal it once 5.4 drops tho

[dapper oyster]

resistance weapon? so for now i have to do this first?

[remote lintel]

if you want

you can also spam Eden verse for 480

[wispy parcel]

Resistance weapons are 485

[open coral]

You don't have to. Resistance weapons are just basically free ilevel

[wispy parcel]

And once the grind comes out for them in 5.35

[dapper oyster]

what is eden verse?

[remote lintel]

the raids

[wispy parcel]

They will probably go up to 495

[open coral]

Normal raid

[dapper oyster]

oh... well i only have alexander

[remote lintel]

unlock it

[faint flare]

Unlocks in Crystarium

[dapper oyster]

i guess i need to unlock eden verse for now then

[open coral]

The raid itself is Eden, with the two segments currently out being Eden's Gate (1-4) and Eden's Verse (5-8).

[faint flare]

In the middle of nowhere

[wispy parcel]

You should probably do the raids. Maybe even go back and do the datascape from stormblood

[open coral]

The quest starts in the Crystarium.

[remote lintel]

yes omega is a good story

as is ivalice

[wispy parcel]

*you have to do ivalice to get the current relic weapons anyhow

[dapper oyster]

so there are like 8 eden raids?

[open coral]

Ivalice is24-man and a prerequisite for the relics

[remote lintel]

I realized that after I typed

[steep heron]

Normal mode versions of raids are very easy. Nothing to be concerned about.

[remote lintel]

yes kyn

[faint flare]

Yes

[open coral]

There are 8 Eden bosses

[faint flare]

Like there are 12 Alexander fights

[steep heron]

THey come in sets of 4
Not all back to back mind you

Its like floors

[open coral]

With 4 more in the next patch

[wispy parcel]

4 more probably coming in 5.4

[remote lintel]

Eden gate is the first 4 and verse the next 4

you just need to do verse

for 480

[open coral]

You have to get through Gate to do Verse though

[remote lintel]

ya but for spamming

[open coral]

Yeah, that's true.

And there's no weekly cap on the gear in either of the Eden raids, so you can just farm them.

[wispy parcel]

I would just recommend getting the resistance weapon as the i-lvl is slightly higher amd the ivalice raids are pretty easy

[open coral]

Not for Normal mode, at least.

[wispy parcel]

Rather than bashing ur head at eden

[open coral]

I mean, you can't get a weapon from Normal Eden anyways

[dapper oyster]

uh ok i think i will rest for now

[open coral]

So it's two different things.

[dapper oyster]

its like 1 AM here anyway

so tomorrow i need to unlock eden raids, all of them

[open coral]

Rest is a good thing. Don't go too hard and burn yourself out.

[remote lintel]

the gear ain't going nowhere

[open coral]

Grabbing Eden gear is a good project for the weekend.

[dapper oyster]

to be honest i dont even know why i even push myself to get those 500 ilevel equipment

[open coral]

Because we're gamers, and we like having the strongest pixels.

For our pixel people

[remote lintel]

you can't without doing savage or waiting a long time

490 is plenty

and easy to get

[granite swan]

Do you have to beat Shadowbringer to do any of the Neir Raids?

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[dapper oyster]

eden gate, grace, call, choir

those gear right?

[remote lintel]

you only need edencall

[leaden ginkgo]

edengate is normal mode gear
edengrace is savage gear

[remote lintel]

choir is savage

[leaden ginkgo]

but that's the older tier

[dapper oyster]

savage is like... hard hard?

[remote lintel]

yes

[open coral]

Grace is E1S-E4S. Choir is E5S-E8S

[dapper oyster]

o f me

[remote lintel]

like I said

[open coral]

You don't have to do savage

It's not a requirement

[remote lintel]

you only need edencall

[open coral]

Ever

[steep heron]

Savage is about the highest difficulty most players will reach.

[dapper oyster]

its alright ill just got with the edencall

[steep heron]

Remember you dont need all this prime endgame stuff unless you are running parse runs in savage or doing Ultimate

[open coral]

Savage and Ultimate is only if you really want to get into the hardest possible content of the game. Most of us stick to Normal and Alliance raids and tomestone gear.

[granite swan]

or want that big shiny beacon of a drk sword :p ... actually do the other classes get a glow stick too?

[remote lintel]

thats the relic

not savage

[open coral]

Every class has shiny, glowy weapons.

[dapper oyster]

glowy thing, oh no i still have to think about those weapon

[granite swan]

the big white ultima wep is relic?

[open coral]

You don't have to

[remote lintel]

oh

[dapper oyster]

they are for fashion purpose right?

[remote lintel]

I thought you meant cronus

[steep heron]

there are many ways to get glowy weps

[remote lintel]

yes kyn

[steep heron]

yeah they are to flex

[open coral]

@dapper oyster Don't stress yourself out about all of this. Just take things one step at a time.

[granite swan]

But are there Ultima weapons for other classes? ive only ever seen DRKs with it so far

[faint flare]

Yes

[dapper oyster]

why people do nier raid again?

[faint flare]

All but Shadowbringers jobs

[granite swan]

2b outfit? :p

[dapper oyster]

i have to unlock it as well right?

[open coral]

Because it's fun?

And yes

[faint flare]

Nier raid gives i490 gear in puppets bunker

[leaden ginkgo]

fun raid and you get some nice looking gear from it

[open coral]

And the music

[faint flare]

And the coins can get allegory upgrade itens

[leaden ginkgo]

it's fun (24 people raids are always fun), glam, minion and armor upgrades

[dapper oyster]

right

[open coral]

Also because Yoko Taro made it. And we're clearly masochists.

[dapper oyster]

alright time for bed, thanks for the advices guys 😄

[leaden ginkgo]

you don't have to unlock it btw, it's optional

[dapper oyster]

well it has good gear, and 490 clearly better than edencall right?
so sooner or later i have to do it

[leaden ginkgo]

yep

well it depends

[dapper oyster]

uh also for fashion purpose, yeap

[leaden ginkgo]

the gearsets depend on the substats which are better, it gets complicated

[open coral]

It's a very fashionable raid

[median locust]

And you can only get one piece from the Puppet's Bunker per week

[steep heron]

for now
Itll get unlocked like Copied Factory eventually

[open coral]

Not until 5.4

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah at 5.4 it'll be when 490 gear is not standard

[open coral]

5.4 because that's when the next Eden raid tier will be out, so that will have the weekly lock.

And 5...10? ilevel gear.

[faint flare]

Yes

[granite swan]

What place has the lv 70 gear in SB?

[faint flare]

Rhalgars

After clearing stormblood base

[granite swan]

ah

[fringe lotus]

What do I do with items in my armory chest that I cant sell or store in armoire?

[lost hollow]

Can I craft pill bugs?

[median locust]

No but vendors sell them for 2 gil

why would you craft them

even if you had the option

[lost hollow]

o kcalm down

just like crafting

why play FFXIV?

¬_¬

[median locust]

I'm not mad or anything, no need to tell me to calm down

there's just 0 reason to craft something you can buy for 2 gil

[north kernel]

So I just found the Faux Commander, is there a sort of prime time for unreal? and how many leafs do we seem to churn out per week?

[lost hollow]

well I didn't klnow it was 2 gil

calm down

thanks though, found them

[median locust]

It's 10-20 leaves depending on what you find, +100 leaves if you find a fox

Prime time is probably the same prime time as other stuff, which is around 8-12pm datacenter time

[north kernel]

fair, just hopped into RF and it gave me +30min for whm. figured I was missing a mark somewhere xD

[manic shoal]

I'm trying to start crafting, but I can't actually figure out how to start the process.

I've gone to my craft log, selected hempen yarn, synthesize and...? There's nothing that says begin crafting, no progress is being made, my choices are calculations and quit.

What am I supposed to do?

[median locust]

Yeah no, don't queue for Unreal/Extreme/Savage

Use Party Finder

[faint flare]

Use the crafting skills you havr

Crafting is a manual process

Use your skills to advance the progress

[little swift]

Crafting is actually a game in this game. You have skillsets and stuff

Its not like other games where it automatically makes things

[proven bay]

^

[faint flare]

Thats quick synth

[wispy parcel]

Also if you beat the 3.0 story you can do ishgardian restoration

Which is the fastest way to level all of them

[little swift]

3.3 story @wispy parcel

Requires completion of quest Litany of Peace

[wispy parcel]

Oh right almost forgot

[little swift]

Its also about as fast as levequests

[median locust]

need to (3.3 spoilers) ||take care of the dragon problem before you can restore ishgard|| :p

[little swift]

Which give more exp but are limited on allowances

Restoration is efficient because you move around less

[thorn mantle]

is there any bonus rewards for level 30 on a normal world?

[remote lintel]

no

[manic shoal]

Okay. I've put the skill basic touch on my hotbar, but using it still doesn't start any process

[remote lintel]

do synthesis

[faint flare]

Basic synthesis

Is progress

[remote lintel]

that

[faint flare]

Basic touch is quality

[little swift]

Synthesis for crafting progress touch for quality

[wispy parcel]

You should probably read what the abilities do

[median locust]

You have skills that increase progress, and skills that increase quality. More Quality = Higher chance to get the item in High Quality. You need 100% progress to finish the craft.

[north kernel]

on topic of craft/gath, what's the tactic for leveling through ishgard? Lamia's Works are done and i've practically havent picked up anything besides fsh in terms of actual understanding and doing (and even fsh is<40)

[remote lintel]

you can still turn in stuff

[pearl dome]

Hi everyone! Small question: was reading into dungeons, and there's something like "roulette" on the side: what is it about? I tried to read but it's not too clear.

[manic shoal]

I MADE YARN!

Thanks for your patience all! 😊

[pearl dome]

(Like, all < 50 lv dungeons have leveling as the roulette)

[remote lintel]

congrats

[median locust]

Roulette puts you in a random dungeon you are elligible for

[north kernel]

^

[remote lintel]

roulettes are dailies

[wispy parcel]

Roulette are random dungeons and trials that you do daily for bonus xp and gil

[median locust]

Levelling Roulette includes all levelling dungeons

Trials roulette includes all non-extreme difficulty trials

[pearl dome]

Oooh, makes sense!

[median locust]

And so on

You get a bonus from doing the roulettes once a day

This is how they keep old content active

[pearl dome]

Nice! Can you also do trials and dungeons in a party freely, without roulettes?

[median locust]

Yes

[pearl dome]

Like, choose what to do?

[tidal yarrow]

can somebody explains me in detail the bahamut tether mechanic during add phase of wol extreme as melee dps?

[remote lintel]

yes

[pearl dome]

Alright, thanks!

[median locust]

Depends on your strat Yuuko

[pearl dome]

Also, are the roles set in the party? Like, the ones I see in the wiki

Are they mandatory?

[tidal yarrow]

mm..

[median locust]

If you're doing DPS towers, then you bait your flare in the corner, then come in the meteor in the middle with the other DPS, then avoid bahamut

A tank/healer will pick it up from you

They'll face them away

@pearl dome Yes, classes can only do one role and are locked to it.

As a healer, your job is to make sure the party doesn't die to unavoidable damage

As a tank, you make sure you're taking the hits and mitigating them

[remote lintel]

classes cannot change roles

[median locust]

As DPS, you make sure stuff doesn't take 5 years to actually die

[remote lintel]

there are no half roles

[tidal yarrow]

A tank/healer will pick it up from you
okay that was the part i wasn't getting

[remote lintel]

like super

support

[pearl dome]

Alright, so let's say we are 4 (3 DPS, 1 tank atm), one of us gotta make sure to change class and become a healer once he gets to lv. 15, right?

[remote lintel]

yes

[tidal yarrow]

so after i done with my tower i stand still waiting for tank/healer to grab tether?

[median locust]

ideally yes

The usual 4-man party is 2 DPS, 1 tank 1 healer

[faint flare]

Yes, while killing the add

[pearl dome]

Alright, good to know! It's nice that at least you're not bound to be a certain class forever with a character

[median locust]

@tidal yarrow Yes, while DPSing the add. Try not moving too much so it's easier to pick it up from you

[pearl dome]

But can change from dungeon to dungeon

[tidal yarrow]

what if the add is a bit at the edge as it happened before

[remote lintel]

you can change classes once you do the lvl 10 class quest

[tidal yarrow]

then it'd be hard to grab the tether

[remote lintel]

but you will need to level it

classes still lvl independently

[north kernel]

Ultimately there's 3 things when queing up a dungeon (/intances in general), you can pug {player ungrouped} to matchmake with others, bring friend(s) to matchmake with you, or, if you have the 4 or 8 people, you can do a run with just your peeps and que instantly and not have to abide by role locks (iirc). Checkout the optional checklist by clicking the gear while in the DF for more schenanigans like unsync or loot rules for pre-formed parties.

[pearl dome]

So once you do the lv.10 quest, you can get a new class and get that to 10 first too, before getting, let's say, a third one?

[faint flare]

The tether isn't hard to grab as they just gotta run through it

[tidal yarrow]

alright thanks a lot

[median locust]

Shouldn't be hard to grab the tether regardless of position, you can grab it from anywhere

[faint flare]

So they can go close to the bahamut and snag it

[remote lintel]

@pearl dome once you do the lvl 10 class quest in any class you can freely switch whenever

[tidal yarrow]

i got to enrage but i couldn't understand anything basically i just got lucky af

[remote lintel]

it just unlocks the ability to change class

[pearl dome]

Oh, alright!

Thanks for all the infos guys!

[north kernel]

[exotic ridge]

Hey, I have saved 2 Gear lists Tank and Deeps. My Tank one has 4 bars and the DPS i have just started at 30. so not many spells atm.
But..
When I swop from Tank it leaves bar 4 skills still on the bar? If I remove them and add a MCH skill for e.g then it leaves that on the bar when I swop to PLD. How do I make the 4th bar swop as well?

[remote lintel]

uncheck the shared hotbar

should be in character config > hotbar

[exotic ridge]

ok never heard of that

[north kernel]

System > Character Config > Hotbar Settings > shared bars

[remote lintel]

that

[pallid cipher]

Does someone have the name of the "stupid theme" that plays regularly when there's Tataru for instance?

[north kernel]

Every class/job will have a saved version of your hotbars and shared bars will stay the same regardless of your active class/job. Once you add/remove a job crystal it'll also get screwy with your bars.

[exotic ridge]

Thx guys lifesaver much appeciated.

[silent pulsar]

hello does anyone have a leatherworker guide

the one im using is so confusing

[scarlet sandal]

It's probably possible on the one-your using is very outdated

Hildibrand is the best part of XIV

No question

[north kernel]

Mine is typically FatChocobo theme, because ofcourse

[remote lintel]

the writers said it's probably the best work they've done in the game

[median locust]

I skipped every Hildy cutscene just to get the trials, I should replay it

[remote lintel]

FISSIE

especially the price of the game lol

[north kernel]

Alright, I think it be time to hit the hay finally. Good day everyone \o

[halcyon kite]

$60+$12 a month

[remote lintel]

it goes on sale

[unreal cipher]

I'm enjoying it a lot 🙂

[remote lintel]

60$ for basically 3 games is a good price

4 games*

[proven bay]

It's a standard AAA game price but you get 3 times as much story content

Not to mention all the side things you can do, which are entire games themselves

[tidal yarrow]

am i supposed to use knockback ability on the ninja summon in wol ex or just go at the edge and wait to get knocked to the other side

[remote lintel]

knockback invuln

[median locust]

Depends on what the others are doing

But usually, you knockback invuln

[tidal yarrow]

okay

ty

[median locust]

You can do either, as long as you do the same thing as your partner

lol

[tidal yarrow]

do we usually decide partner beforehand

or some parties don't

[remote lintel]

yes

[median locust]

same partners as meteor partners

[remote lintel]

its your lb3 parter

[faint flare]

You use your Meteor partner

[tidal yarrow]

oh right the meteor partner

[faint flare]

And most people use the uptime strat and just use antiknockbacks

[tidal yarrow]

it's insane that i didn't know any of these mechanics and we got to enrage the fight is so forgiveable

[waxen girder]

should i change the voice acting to JP

[remote lintel]

i mean deaths in the fight are forgiving but whether youll pass the dps check is another thing

[tidal yarrow]

yes

[wispy parcel]

No

[remote lintel]

no

you'll miss game of thrones actors

[waxen girder]

i've been playing for like 2 weeks and none of the eng voices have grabbed me

[wispy parcel]

A lot of the JP voices really dont fit especially later on

[remote lintel]

they change VAs after ARR

to sound much better

[waxen girder]

does minfilia start sounding like a person

[tidal yarrow]

i changed to Jp in stormblood and honestly i loved it so much more

[remote lintel]

yes

[median locust]

They changed voice acting studios after a realm reborn

[faint flare]

All the VA change in heavensward

[median locust]

Voices get much better

[remote lintel]

except aymeric

[waxen girder]

do the european accents get as good as xenoblade

[remote lintel]

i mean they all sound british except some

[wispy parcel]

@tidal yarrow you missed out on literally the best voice acting in the game with Ardbert and Emet

[remote lintel]

yesss

and the pixies

[wispy parcel]

the Fae are hard

HARD

scottish

[remote lintel]

as it should be

[waxen girder]

mhm ok

i still dunno how far into ARR im at

[oblique delta]

What quests do you need to do to get the resistence weapon with those 4x scalepowders ? I don't remember

[remote lintel]

ivalice

[wispy parcel]

You need to do the 3 ivalice raids

[median locust]

Complete the level 70 Alliance Raids questline

[remote lintel]

and hail to the queen or whatever

[waxen girder]

im doing the uhhhh ala mihgo(?) quests after the sylphs

[median locust]

Then the Relic quest is in Kugane

[remote lintel]

youre like halfway? into ARR

[median locust]

There's quests all the way to level 50

Then around 80 quests at level 50

Then you enter the first expansion

[waxen girder]

oo i see

[remote lintel]

each expansion is 10 levels

50-60 60-70 70-80

[median locust]

basically there's main story all the way until level cap and it continues every major patch

and most people agree that it gets better the further you get into it

[waxen girder]

im on free trial should i just hold off on buying till i finish heavensward or would i benefit from buying early

[remote lintel]

whatever you prefer

[plush heron]

Hi, I haven;t playef ffxiv for years. I believe my account is around level 35, is it possible to play without paying for membership till level 60?

[wispy parcel]

If you already bought the game no

[plush heron]

ahh okay, I guess I'll make another account then.

[waxen girder]

btw how important is housing and FC

[remote lintel]

not

housing is a money sink

[wispy parcel]

Its all optional

Housing in this game is uhh

Hard to get into

[remote lintel]

as of now yes

and its for people who have millions to spend

[median locust]

FC is basically just a social entity, not very useful outside of getting to talk with people. You do get bonus exp and other buffs but you can get them in other ways

[waxen girder]

im bad at socializing lmao

[remote lintel]

fcs can give exp buffs

oh you said that

i mean a lot of fcs do a lot of activities like raids, treasure maps, social events, etc

[tawny rock]

heya all, just came back to the game from a year hiatus, but im having a weird problem whenever i press i(inventory hotkey) it always opens the third tab instead of the first one.. is this some kind of strange bug, or a setting somewhere?

[waxen girder]

i eventually just fade into the void after i join a social space so i dont think that'd be good to do in this game

[tawny rock]

(im using the expanded inventory, and am on pc)

[remote lintel]

is your i key bound to key items?

[silk burrow]

I thought you lose your sprout once you enter shadowbringers. I came across other players who have sprouts. How is this possible?

[tawny rock]

let me check

[remote lintel]

story skipped

[silk burrow]

oh wow

[remote lintel]

or really really speedran the game

you also have to reach a certain amount of hours played to lose the sprout

not just enter shb

[tawny rock]

nope key items doesnt have a keybind for me

[silk burrow]

oh i see

makes sense

thanks for answering my question

[simple pine]

is FFA loot normal in treasure map groups?

or map user need?

[remote lintel]

the inventory leaves off on whatever page you closed it on so

[median locust]

Depends on party

Check with the lead first

[tawny rock]

yeah thats what it used to do cerberus.. but not anymore.. 😛

[simple pine]

but what is more common?

[median locust]

Probably depends on datacenter

On Primal it's owner needs even though FFA is better in everyway

[simple pine]

its the same isnt it? FFA is just more variance

but the odds are equal basically

[median locust]

FFA you always have a chance at loot, Owner Needs you only have a chance once and are bored the rest of the time

there's a clear winner

[simple pine]

thats subjective :p

[median locust]

to me it isn't but that's a discussion for another day/channel

[hasty raptor]

Hello. Is this where I ask for advice on a HUD layout for a newbie tank?

[remote lintel]

you can

[median locust]

Here or #protips-and-ui

[hasty raptor]

I'll ask there. Thanks!

[regal heath]

Theres not much you can do in terms of UI loadout

[median locust]

there's a LOT you can do, wat

[regal heath]

I would say a good idea is to have your major CDs on a large bar, to help you with using them

I mean what can you do as a tank outside of having enlarged Icons?

Because Id love to know

[remote lintel]

move the target bar

[shrewd mirage]

Hi i think i Can Ask it here! I've seen screenshots with the FFXIV (Copyright Logo) but when i take screenshots i dont get that on my pictures any idea how i Can get the logo?

[remote lintel]

sort your skills

[regal heath]

That isn't really much at all

Thats pretty much what you can do on anyone and what you should be doing for every class

The only "tank specific" thing you can really do is adjust the hotbars for CD management imo

[remote lintel]

depending on how you sort your skills/hotbars it can be a lot

but im on controller so

[molten spruce]

im still getting an error while trying to sub, ive checked for sufficient funds and tried different browsers is the mogstation page down or something?

[regal heath]

Not down, whats the error?

[remote lintel]

[molten spruce]

thats when i try to register a card for the purchase

[regal heath]

Looks like part of the mogstation is wack

Try later I guess?

[molten spruce]

i tried yesterday now tried today

[regal heath]

Whats the payment method?

[molten spruce]

can i buy a sub elsewhere?

Whats the payment method?
@regal heath visa card

since paypal is not an option

[remote lintel]

crysta

or a time card
