Magical reads "Deal X potency of Element"
Usually unsapected unless you're black mage
i see, now i just need to know what magical attack look like haha
Basically if they're not hitting you with a physical object of some kind
i see
where do you get yellow crafter scrips?
Custom deliveries and collectibles
whats a collectible? 
They're receipes in the second tab of your crafting log
You increase collectiblity rather thwn quality but thats Literally just a namr change
How you go about it is the same as HQing things
They have no use besides being a turn in item.
More collectiblity = better rewards
Plse correct me to the right channel if this is not the place to ask? but i wanna play FF XIV, i have acces to me square enix account but cant use those credantials to login to the FF XIV page?
you need a mog station account
What's the difference between a blue pickaxe and a yellow pickaxe symbol on the map as a miner
Quarrying vs Mining
Ahh
Different tables
how do you get yellow scrips from collectables? do i just craft and it auto converts? 
Also, what do I do with faded orchestron rolls
Alchemist repairs them
Also of note - you need to hit a minimum level of collectability while crafting it.
you need a mog station account
@remote lintel what is mog station plse?
Dont just craft a bunch of 0 collectability stuff and be like "why cant i turn this in"
example:
0-100 : no reward
100-200: some reward
200-max: max reward
make an account here
you can check with the appraisers and see how much they'd pay
these collectables give a ton of exp wtf
Does the beard work on Viera
you can get as many collectible as you can
@scarlet sandal click into it
it should says whether it works on viera/horthgar or not
so it does
there you go 😄
Is it true that even if you own a small house, you'll get first dibs on new housing (ie: ishgard when it comes out)?
Anyone know if there's a way to make your chocobo tank for you in battles?
You cant own more than one privet house and one FC house
I want to give it a bunch of HP with Tantalplants and then make it tank for me
Right, I mean relocation
@light gull unknown
I mean, wasn't there precedent with Kugane?
Wynne can you help @supple burrow with his mog station question
We probably arent getting a new housing zone in a very long time
post your question again
so answering that is kinda hard
There was people crowding around the house and I was almost tempted to relocate just to see the salt but it was a spot I didn't like
relocation by passses the timer
So having a small house and using relocation should bypass it?
First come first served
And select for free company
How do I increase my skill rating for desynth? Is it just by destroying stuff
ishgard housing is gonna be gone SECONDS
Fcs aren't getting first dibs on this new ward series either
The "fc has first dibs" is something se manually does
It's not first come first serve necessarily, FC's always get first dibs, I just remember there being a way for personal housing to get in at the same time
And there's no news on ishgard in particular
New housing plots are scheduled to be added in Patch 5.35
Each residential district will be expanded with 6 wards (3 standard/3 subdivisions)
Both free company estates and private estates will be immediately available for purchase
I know ishgard is not coming out in awhile, but I just wanted to know for the future
Official housing info for the new wards
where do you get the materials for this collectable crafting?
@remote lintel yes i have truoble making an account
Its not that its not coming out for a while
at this point its probably not happening
We got Kugane housing before Ishgard
Sorry but I’m not an expert on account creation, I had a friend help me with mine
its been 2 Xpacs
Foundation literally looks like a housing district, I'd be more shocked if they didn't eventually open ishgard up for housing in 6.0
(as condesending as that sound, that's how it is done usually)
Will playing stupid bard sounds in limsa get me banned?
This is new stuff lots of speculation but no confirmation
No noir
no, NoirX
i have acces to main square enix acc but on MOG station they ask for square enix acc/ id and that same login doesnt work
So I can just make up my own shit music and play it in limsa all day everyday
we have told you that
Square Enix Store account
IS NOT
mogstation account
you need to make a new one
You need to make a m ogstation account
(yes mogstation account asking for square ID is dumb)
square enix store account let you buy all square enix stuff
this includes Dragon Quest toy (maybe)
or FF7R figurines
or FFXIV
mogstation account is for managing your FFXIV subscriptions
and to make any relate purchases (like buying a mount for XIV character)
Hey, quick question
I'm trying to turn my dragoon retainer into a red mage retainer
You can play whatever song you want until that one a****** comes and reports you for playing a copyrighted song
I have the modern vocation, but "assign a job" isnt' showing up
Usually I just stay safe and don't do it in public
doesn't work that way, it has to be a class
How do I do this?
so you need to reset it
and level it up until you can swap to a Red Mage job
Is it possible to get a certain someones Katana that was just left sitting on a rooftop?
I asked a question above but I don't anyone saw. Is it possible to make your chocobo tank aggro from enemies? I want to give it a bunch of Tantalplants and raise it's HP
They aren't super great at tanking, their ability to hold aggro isn't great
I'm a bard, so what type of chocobo do you think'd work best with me?
I'm. Kissing something: Grand companies: says I have to spend 2k stela's. Bought two weapons. Didn't work. Now seeing that it has to be promotion specific. How do I rank up GC?
Hi everyone! I downloaded the free trail but I can't login because it says it need a one time password
Cause that covers your regen
can anyone help out?
seems i have a mogstation acc but i must have made it at least 5 to 6 years ago dont remember pass nor security questions
You rank up your grand company rank by applying for promotions at the guy next to the quatermaster
@west prairie ignore one time pass word
how?
If you don't have one you can leave it blank
Omg. I just kept hitting cancel. Thanks @faint flare wow
Why DH over Crit as tank?
I'm following a guide for the animus step of relic weapons. I complete the leve, yet it doesn't mark it as complete. What am I missing? Didn't have the weapon equipped -_-
Does it matter much if I don't get HQ stuff for custom deliveries? I can't get HQ animal droppings 
Because tanks have no DH so the first few points are quite valuable
Unless you're warrior
DH is dead on warrior
how do you unlock more people to do custom deliveries for?
Not updated for the new guy which requires you to complete some side quests inside the firmament
can you remove "binding" from a weapon in order to sell it?
no @sharp spire
no @small atlas
Seriously, how do I get good enough stats for gathering collectables in ShB without spending a stupid amount of gil?
can someone explain the wreath of snakes cursekeeper + tankbuster? What's the correct sequence? I'm OT and I'm using provoke during the cast bar but the main tank still gets both the curse + tankbuster
My partner bought a mount for me as a gift, when will it come in the mail? o: (tag me please, im also on my computer)
@sour path can take yp to 24 hours but usually soon
You provoke during Cursekeeper and they shirk you
@drifting ruin craft the gear yourself or work on easier collectibles to buy the level 70 LandKing set which lasts until 80
@scarlet sandal Aw man ;^;
The LandKing set is good enough for 450 collectability?
It usually comes within the next hour or so but it's possible I can take longer
so do I become the main tank?
Yes yam
5.35 September?
Maybe late September/early October
This is the rotation flowchart I use for collectables
Thank you
Hello everyone, I have a question regarding Hunts? I want allied seals very badly so I can get the mount speed increases but I can never find any of the hunts at all.
mount speed increase is just not worth it tbh
There's really no need for Mount speed increases with flying now
The best thing you can probably be buying is teleportation tickets
^
your time are better spend on unlocking flying
I keep getting late to a lot of the FATES for the yokai event
Flying is already at max speed
unlock flying
Mount speed boosts don’t further buff flying
join/make party for yokai watch
Ohhh, okay, I won’t bother with the speed increases then
shakes fist at blue mages They kill the fates so fast
1st advantage: receive teleport with party
2nd: more contribution = better FATE reward
Thank you guys so much btw !
How much is the bonus for HQ items with Crystarium Deliveries?
Double experience and I think double scrips too
If I'm on free trial and i want to upgrade to full do i have to buy the $60 game or is there a subscription i can sign up for?
you have to buy the 60
for hte full
comes with 30 days
after that you gotta payhte sub
You also get a free 15 days getting to level 30 on a preferred server I think
I got that on a alt one day and it was like wait what
No takk, can have them all
Do we need to reclear E5S to practice E6S weekly?
someone has to or you literally cant get ot that floor
just1 is fine
but if you dont reclear e5 before entering e6 you give up your loot for that week
mmk thanks
we have 3 that recleared e6s this week, but we cant even go into e6s at all
then someone hasnt cleared e5 period
recleared e5s my b
The party leader needs to have cleared
@static yacht no you can have multiples
Once you hit 30 how do you change from marauder to warrior?
!faq 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.
Is there a way to delete previously saved character appearances ?
is legacy control not an option anymore?
because they have no normal mode, and they're effectively savage tier raids
some people do make parties to experience these on level
T9 and T13 have ways to murder level 80 parties
how do you enter diadem with a combat class? it only lets me queue as a gatherer

means for people who got in, their avg wait is 16 minute
you are a DPS, 16 minute wait is ... standard
It started with 10m and I don't see anyone joining...
i am fairly sure that if people are match made to you via Duty Roulette
(Sorry I might try #general-discussion next time)
Is DPS wait time typically a lot longer?
manual has a quota
nevermind, I realised it's after X amount of xp lol
yup
new players typically lean toward DPS because they think it is less responsbility compared to tank or healer
reason 2 is there are more DPS jobs than tank/healer job (10 DPS, 3 healer, 4 tanks)
so a experienced player leveling an alt job are more likely to be leveling a DPS
new players typically lean toward DPS because they think it is less responsbility compared to tank or healer
nods timidly
What's the easiest way to learn ram's voice for BLU? cutter's cry or the trial?
typically, anywhere between 10-20 minute way is normal on good hours
it is midnight ish on EU on Fri/Sat
so just do something on the side
whats the difference between direct hit and determination for a healer?
Understood and thank you for your help
can't DH heals
direct hit is the chance to do 25% more damage
(i am not sure about direct hit heal)
det = generic damage+healing buff
dh = better chance for spicy hits
while we are at it, the difference between Direct Hit and Critical Hit is:
- Direct hit buff your chance to do 25% more
- Critical hit buff your chance to do critical hit and how much more the critical hit does
they can stack btw
What's the easiest way to learn ram's voice for BLU? cutter's cry or the trial?
@cedar compass probably the trial, because you don't need to go through a whole dungeon to get to the boss
Komasan
you get medals in western thanalan right?
or do I just have terrible luck
do i need to do it in extreme?
i don't think there is EX chimera
what am i supposed to do with all these Approved X from diadem?
hello there friends where does the quest chain to unlock ehll tou start
How do you unlock the gemstones trader in música universalis?
max out all the shared fates in shb regions
what am i supposed to do with all these Approved X from diadem?
@sharp meteor turn in it for appraisal in group of 10s
What?! Hahaha ok never gonna do it
Where's a good place for a 57 BLU to train up to 60?
@bronze sorrel pretty sure the starting quest is in firmament
its the only level 60 quest in the firmament
hello ! my friend has a problem, she has a mac and the game won't run, only leading to a black screen. is downgrading her OS still the only option, or is there another workaround to it ?
is that all you do with diadem materials? it left a bunch of Approved items in my inventory do I just delete them?
@static yacht komasan isn’t in western thanalan according to the pin
facepalm I misread it
You can also check the yokai journal ingame in the collections menu
So Free trial question, I have an account tried it out for a month and didn't have much time. I now have some time and I heard about the free trial to 60, could I use that same account to play it... I never got to max
AKA lvl 60
getting the full game for free doesn't count as getting a free trial

but if you are sure that it is a free trial that capped you at 35
then yes you can keep playing Free trial
No I got it for free on amazon with a month of game time
hey guys, how to change my layout and control to keyboard?
@bronze sorrel you need to do the quests in the firmament before you can unlock her
op
Damn, thank you for letting me know 😄
thanks kael and takkun
where do I get illuminati gobtwine? ive been looking all over illyshire
you can't get the augment items anymore
gone
O;
you can pay calamity salvager some poetics to upgrade though
if you have unaugmented shire, talk to the calamity salvagers to augment it
Damn, thank you for letting me know 😄
@harsh scaffold you can make a new account to play free trial
but you won't get to use the starter edition you currently own
@manic silo System button on bottom right of screen, there is a keybind menu and hud menu
so you gonna buy again
seeing that you got starter for free anyway....
you don't really lose out on anything
alternatively, you can just start paying subscriptions and play
Yeah, just wanted to be cheap. I might just do that
hello ! my friend has a problem, she has a mac and the game won't run, only leading to a black screen. is downgrading her OS still the only option, or is there another workaround to it ?
@safe citrus i would say you might get a better chance to get answers on reddit
over asking here
wait so is it not possible to get the dyeable of Caller's Armlets anymore?
i dont have a reddit account so it didn't cross my mind ;;;
wait so is it not possible to get the dyeable of Caller's Armlets anymore?
@slate carbon i am told that everything are just replaced by their augmented version on the NPC that trade them
@manic silo System button on bottom right of screen, there is a keybind menu and hud menu
@Alphab3t#0502 I can't seem to figure it out
wrong menu
this is hud layout
yours should be somewhere in character configuration menu
iirc
np
HUD layout is for adjusting position, size, and hide/show, and nothing else
additional behavior/display settings are in character configuration
The mounts on the store that say account-wide, are they literally account-wide? Like, if I had 40 characters, they'd all have it?
yes
does anyone know how to install the game onto ssd instead of hdd
Are all costumes single-character only?
wow so apparently there is a sudden and dramatic ilvl jump required for the last quest in heavensward, where can you get ilvl 150ish items? the previous dungeon was dropping lower stuff I thought
Have you done your job quest
@unreal sierra you can get high ilvl gear in Idyllshire with Poetics
because as usual, it should outfit you with a full set of gear
you know, I did do that, let me check
how do i set act to show rdps instead of regular dps?
yeah that solved the problem instantly. My bad
@deft quiver not possible
Have to upload to FFlogs
alright
ACT cant do the calculations on that live
makes sense
when you switch from maurauder to warrior is it level 30 or whatever level you are?
How do i know i've finished the crystal tower questline to progress with A Time To Every Purpose?
I'm just about to run Syrcus Tower and still cant progress through the MSQ
I saw someone who had a calico cat minion and someone else who had a huge version of that same cat as a mount.
Do some minions become mounts somehow? If so, will the black coeurl from the Golden Saucer grow?
I get this error message when I try to log in to the character lobby “the lobby server has encountered an error” and 2002. I haven’t logged in for a few days and during that time there was a little patch for the PS4 version. I just wanna play my game. Anyone know if this is fixable and how?
@manic shoal fat cat is available in game, fatter cat (the mount) is a cash shop option
Ah, I was reeeeaaaallly hoping for a slick coeurl mount. Thanks for your answer! :D
I think it's more a random choice that something gets supersized (cactar mount from gold saucer) than going after what's popular with players
how to get free mgp with the fashion leader thing?
i heard it has to be on friday to have some kind of info for that
help anyone?
Okay, but a cactuar mount would be neat too! ^_^
What are the predictions for the bojdah weapons ilvl
Hmm is the augmented (ilvl 90 relic gear) boxes only made by crafters?

@dapper oyster fashion repost has phase of figuring out what the hints are (which isn't saying much anymore see kupo bot spam for the fr command) and then a period where you attempt to get submitted to max points (or just don't care and get mgp anyways for trying)
@molten temple yes
@woeful nacelle probably 495 since relic always lags behind current savage until 5.5 when it's matched
@leaden ginkgo you have syrcus tower and world of darkness, then some cutscene
is there a glowy version of the Byakko fist?
can you do trials with ppl from other data centers?

Wtf can’t I log in???!
so, i'm about to hit close to 58 after my main scenario msq. i think it awards around 2 mil xp, anyways.
My question is, how do I get to 60 as fast as possible? I am doing my msq, but I want gunbreaker, and i'm obsurdly close
make sure your connection quality is good (since the hotfix shouldn't have changed anything with logging in)
I still have my leveling roulette and alliance raid roulette, but i'm not sure how much xp those will give

Update your game.

where is prima vista tiring room?
^^^^
@keen fable they are both good
it says in kugane
darkfox: those 3 are the best in percentage basis of xp for dalies.
I keep getting this message
Update your game.
@dusk drum i did
@warped nest what about after all the roulettes, what's the quickest way to get that last 1.5-2 levels?
Only dungeons I have are level 50 ones, and they do jack all for xp
Oh, nvm, you don't have it
once at 59 you can spam Great Gubal Library
Haven't unlocked the HW dungeons
They are way ahead, Pack
I'm 8 levels ahead of the MSQ atm lol
Do you have MSQ roulette?
before that though there's nothing the lv 50 content can do that'll hhelp xp wise outside roulettes
System update? That’s the only thing available
I do - I'm queued for the MSQ roulette right now. I have the MSQ, leveling, trials, and alliance raid roulettes
I'm only like 23% to level 58 though, currently at 57
If you are in HW zone, you can do beast tribe and hunt marks (pick up from Ishgard) for some supplementary exp
Otherwise, your only choice after roulette would be potd
yikes
alright
:v
I'm so close to getting this class, it hurts not to be able to get that last bit
Other sources would be your weekly challenge log
that's a thing?
Some might give you just enough exp to level up to the next level
Time to try logging in again 
that's a thing?
@keen fable yeah, challenge log has weekly bonus to claim
Exp, Gil, seals, MGP, etc
Hey anyone experiencing lag?
if there's lag on primal I'm not noticing it
Yep, noticed really bad lag on Elemental, basically nonresponsive
I'm looking in the challenge log and can't find anything about weekly ones
have you tried the first 5 different solutions that come up from a basic google search of the error number @fringe arch
challenge log itself is weekly
o
They make no sense @green grail I’m on a PS4
im on crystal (Bryn) lag is horrendous
I tried running a connection test and the NAT failed, whatever that means
do i have to get far into the MSQ for HW for beastribes there?
You just have to help the respective tribe for the area as you go through the MSQ @keen fable
Then it unlocks
the first one in HW I believe is in the dravanian forelands
one of my fav areas in the game btw
Which duties drop blade of early antiquity, and are they weekly locked?
only e4 drops it, and no it's not weekly capped as it's for previous tier/cycle of gear
the blade from e8 for the allegory weapon is weekly capped
!faq blmleveling
when ppl say "e6s" in the context of raiding what does it mean?
eden 6 savage
Thanks Vis!
So from what I can find, there is currently no way to use an item through a text command. Is this accurate?
@small atlas using command for yourself should be done in #kupo-bot-spam
Use command here to answer or ask questions
hey guys, i am having trouble finding eidhard, the guy who gives grand company levequests in st. coinach's end
do i have to do something first to get him to appear?
i am in the right location
but he is not there
I'm finding it very hard to believe that they would not include a text command to use items in this game.
Drk only have 1 non resource aoe?
que time for raids is ususally long?
2
2 ha
but the 2nd unlocks in ShB content
I guess early level only 1
Oh
Well this suck
How the hell i am clearing 3 stacks?
@sly vessel depends on your role and what you're queueing for
dps
DPS have the longest queues so 15-20 minutes
possibly over 30 in really active hours
I think ur forgetting pre-HW PLD didnt even have a full rotation
just spam 2 buttons even at lvl 50
Having a tank or healer for quick queues is nice
@warped nest ah thanks for letting me know, didnt realize
just focus more on managing mp for flood of shadow than having an easy 2-step combo to spam
Oki doki
DRK is all about MP management
is it most efficient to level all crafters at the same time to the same level?
Its best to level them all at the same time
but I would focus on Miner and Botinist first
Hi, I have no idea where to start in FFXIV, like what server would be good to join and such.
what area of the world do you live in
NA, so I know it's between Primal, Aether, and Crystal data centers.
I only know I'm probably not going to be a hardcore player.
Then pick literally any preferred server
All 3 Data Centers are located in California so theres no ping difference between the 3.
yea just pick a preffered server for the XP buff
Yes
If that's all that matters to start with then that'll work, thanks.
I'm playing through 2.3 right now and there seem to be a lot more cut scenes with voiceover compared to the build up in ARR.
does that continue through the expansions?
yes-ish
I didn't notice lol
huh, interesting. i'm digging it so far! taking my time on the free trial w/ bard and just doing MSQ
How? They sound completely different
Well, i just got 2 voice cut scene haha
they changed all the english VAs? or who are you talking about
All of them
All of them.
0_0
all but 3
Maybe i need to listen carefully
Its the only big VA shift that happened
the average waiting time was 6 mins... now its 15 mins... why T_T
is there a site with all the emote dances available, saw someone dancing and wants to know which dance it was
Google is your best friend

is frontline just which team can stay as a mob better wins
thanks for the non help, I did actually search online before asking here. maybe I use the wrong search terms but the result are faily limited and most site does not have a sample of the dance moves
winner may as well be random
i couldnt find this Thavnairian Scalepowders on the poetics vendor, do i have to complete the resistance weapon questline first?
@sullen pulsar might be able to help figure out what dance it is if you can describe it
youtube is a better option for this than google really
looks more like dance move out of kpop
is the the hips popping side to side and the person spinning in a circle
yea benn search youtube but have not found a match yet
spinning
looked at all the ones onthe mog station already'
just saying spinning doesnt help much for a desc
well, I guess I'll have to take a short vid of it if I see it again and upload to youtube abd then pose a link here
spinning makes me think of either manderville mambo or far eastern dance
more of a sexy slow turn
that sounds like bees knees possibly yeah
will do thanks
The Bees Knees Dance Emote from the Game Final Fantasy 14 showed by the cute Miqo'te Yuki :3
too much clothes
Name checks out
tep, that's it now I have to find out how to get it for my dance
that's one place I have not spent too much time at, not into gambling ;-P
can get 60k easily from fashion report
with my hard earned gils ;-P
there's no gambling theoretically because you can't lose
mgp is its own currency
since its pretty hard to lose mgp nowadays
i only have the starting fund they gave me on the quest
!faq mgpguide
thanks
how much more xp does prae give than cast in the msq roulette
whats the 60K from Fashion report?
you get 10k mgp from participating and 50k from getting 80points
oh at the MGP
you can only earn mgp while doing events in the gold saucer
I'll look through the guide and give it a try, thanks all
so i should come out of both with relatively the same benefit?
I can say that Prae gives more because it is the longer dungeon
Wait, where the quest to get extreme trial for gaurda, ifrit and titan at lvl 50? I only have ramuh
But Castrum is shorter so you can go and attend to something else sooner
Do i need go to walking sand? Cuz i went through every GC place no quest
what's the max squadron attributes? Is it really 400/400 only?
then the extremes are at the waking sands
Ok
is grinding front line the fastest way to get wolfmarks if dont want to put effort in
People do pvp in this game?
i just want the glams
You can join the Rival Wing discord
and the emote
what's the usual peak time for tonberry?
Why does Balmung's server have legacy next to it? Is it just that you can't make characters on it ever?
except spring bottoms from gold saucer vendor, are there any hot pants for glam?
Hi everyone. Noob here. Do you mind if I ask a few questions
@noble current yes
Search for "pantalettes" ? I believe marketboard has partial search. Otherwise, search in Garlandtools (website) and preview them
Thanks. First question is about weapons/armour. So far I've been sticking to the ones from the guild quests. Should I buy armour in the shops
For low level, no, unless you need armors for other combat jobs
Even then you don't need a lot
Most of your armors should come from completing quests and dungeons
Thanks. I'm lvl 25 rog and mar
Another rarely mentioned source of armor/weapon is your Grand Company, they do look nicer than your low level gear, but they cost GC seals to get
once you get an umbral heart are you supposed to just flare twice and then freeze again?
or do you want to be in astral fire for both flares?
I am told that it depends on your swiftcast/triple cast availability
But I am not sure what is the correct way to do it
!faq balance
Check here for more details
I don't think I can join a company on free trial
Grand Company is the in game military force, which you have to join
Free Company is the player made guild
@wheat wasp for 3 or more enemies go straight to flare, otherwise f3 first
chronos got any other ideas for the pants? cause i am looking more like jeans style, pantalettes look good but mostly not what i am looking for
May I recommend using the #glamour-discussion channel, DaddyZod, the players there will be more useful than I can be
Second question is wrt HUD. Is there any way to have less info displayed. For example everyone's names. It gets a bit overwhelming
If you're looking for jeans, the veteran reward (idk how people get it these days) Tantalus Breeches are pretty close in appearance
cropped summer indigo slops
thx
so what's the generally accepted strat for summoner in SoS?
corner clockwise, or pair positions?
so like if you're SE dps, you'd either go E or SE?
No
since partner is E
Oh
yes
okay
misunderstood what you were saying
If you had earthshaker you'd go E, if you didnt you'd go SE
okay makes sense
How much of CT is required to get into heavensward? I was so excited to finally be getting there only to be slammed with "nah do this first"
are items bought from gold saucer vendor sellable on market placeß
Fuck
the story is good
eh CT ain't that bad
therye super ez anyway
Aight I guess
Yeah i agree
they're faceroll, given you're in Ironworks gear
dumb question, but how you see an item lv?
how to view it on individual pieces?
Hover over it, it should say ITEM LEVEL XXX right below the icon in the tooltip
I see
@white sierra You dont have to do all of it, the final quest u dont need, the archmage one
is potd still considered the best way to lvl alt classes?
You are required to complete CT before you can do the final ARR quest @elfin edge
wait, they added that?
Yes
yes
yes
ah
@wise light for long queue roles, yes
definitely makes sense, lore-wise
since PoTD only requires 4 players, no role restrictions
Even before this, Yoshi-P has strongly recommended players finishing the CT series before getting into Shadowbringers
what is ct..?
Crystal Tower
oh...
ARR's alliance raid series
It plays a role in Shadowbringers
it's a delightful time and honestly i hate running world of darkness
check Rev Toll map :p
one night I got 6 WoDs in a row for alliance roulette
oh yea i definitely didnt do it because i can't even queue for alliance roulette lol
as far as questline goes? it isn't that bad considering ARR has flight
probably a good idea to be doing CT now before everyone finishes it
so heehee quest objectives go brrr
Except when you have to constantly dismount to walk near the tower >.>

Despite it being a mandatory side quest it's essentially msq and is very important
It really shouldn't be seen as any different from any other main story Quest
If you time it just after daily resets, that may speed it up some too
hey guys, i did the materia quest to unlock it but it still greyed out for me. Am i missing something?
does the item your tryin to meld have slots?
yep
Are you a crafter of sufficient level to meld it yourself?
If not, you cannot do it on your own, and will need to rely on Materia Melder NPC's in towns. That said, there is no reason to concern yourself with or waste time on melding prior to 80
Oh, do you have to be a crafter to meld? I thought it unlocked for any once u did the quest?
oh i got it
Ahhh
i went to the melder haha
i have finished sylph's management MSQ and the rematch paladin pre-requisite quest but my paladin change job is still not availalbe?
thank you!

😅
haha my bad big dummy moment
also do your chocobo quest
yess im still missing my 200 seals 😦
the next msq should give you it
you get 200 free seals
you get 300 for the quest right after u can grab it
yes thank you! haha
godspeed
oh you get 300? I stand corrected
it should be 200
you get 300, the issuance is 200
msq gives ypu enough now to get it right away
I don't know if this question even belongs in this channel but why does the limitation on which server you can create a character change so fast? I just finished up the final details and it suddenly said I'd start on one different from the one I chose.
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
anyone know how to fix the windy physics that make my hair and cape go crazy
Is this an active time of day for NA to change in 3 minutes? Cause it was real quick.
get a high position job at sqex and have them change the game engine/code
or just move area since weather effects it
@willow ore i would suggest trying between 5AM - 7AM if you have a specific server in mind, just about every NA server is open in that window
i have 4 friends. we cant queue together. it says ( one of party member doesnt meet req). we literally queued same dungeon 10 mins ago ) e5s
Have to ask the obvious is everyone on the same classes as they were previously
Noted, thanks.
ya were r 4 dps. same class and gear. everything. we couldnt queue all together
if som1 leaves. we can queue 3ppl but not 4ppl
ya
why in the world are you DF'ing savage?
i started pf, we faced the problem for everyone
Take a screenshot of your party and the DF window. Maybe something will jump out at me.
Do I unlock Dark Knight after beating base game story
got it nvm
@simple shore we practice E5S everyday, but we faced this problem like 1hr ago, and couldnt find a solution
Hmm, did someone drop their ilvl below the requirement maybe?
OR did someone complete it for the week?
Did everyone unlock it
yes, we practiced it before
same ilvl, and everything
but now. we cant Queue together. the 4 of us
I suppose the other stupid question to be asked is
have you tried it with various combinations of you
ofc. we tested that
is it any set of four or can you narrow it down to one person
can you move/store housing vendors?
any 3 ppl=ok
4 of us = no
Is it any 3 people
ya. if i leaves. they can Queue.. of some1 leaves. i still can Q
but if we r all in the same party, we cant Q
You're doing this with PF still searching?
can you rebuy yokai weapon in case of misplace without the event?
we can pf,but once 8 ppl inside. we all cant Queue because of the thing
tfw failing 8 rapid synthesis in a row
Something simply isnt adding up about this.
we were doing savage for the past 6 hr practicing together same party and everything.. now we cant for some reason
Stupid question, have you tried disbanding the party entirely
and reforming from scratch
we restarted the client xD
That wasnt what i asked
mmmkay
i can stream it if you want
What's the usual price for a champion lance? How can I check without access to market board? I'm a freetrials player btw
Ash if you're on trial you wont be able to buy it anyway, so whys that matter?
Can check MB via the bot
I can't trade on freetrial?
newp
Correct
50-70k@narrow vale
RMT would be easily exploited with free trials left and right
I guess thanks anyway
the "adventure in need bonus" only applies to the class in question right?
You could always make your own though

when it says dps i need to play dps after roulette completion of the day
unless its 61+
to gain bonus
Zod, the roulette bonus is only available once a day
@simple shore no solution i guess?
the adventurer in need bonus is seperate and not worthwhile
And there is no reason to roulette more than once per day
Adventurer in need bonus for leveling is infinite
The bonus exp from adventurer in need is next to nothing
stella clusters tho
@hoary wigeon At this point it's completely random grasping at straws ideas. Try having the guy who is world visiting go back to his home world maybe.
Or maybe the two afk party members
unless there's a detail you've been leaving out i dont see a logical answer
I have encountered a rare glitch where even though everybody has the duty unlocked it will not go through for some reason it happens once in awhile but I haven't seen it since stormblood
Passing Lead usually fixed it
That or he literally doesn't have it unlocked and he thinks he does but has a IQ of five
What happened to the Road to 70 perk if I reach 70 in one class does it stay when I switch another class that's below 70? Or does it just goes away for all class if one reaches 70?
They said they already did it before
Nah
so thats unlikely
or its not him
Icecl you're coming in on the tail end of this so im assuming you missed details
Anyway
@hoary wigeon I really dont have any other ideas at this stage.
Maybe dis band and reform if you haven't tried that
Either someones ilvl is below what it should be, or you've left out some othr detail, or the game is fucking broken.
What happened to the Road to 70 perk if I reach 70 in one class does it stay when I switch another class that's below 70? Or does it just goes away for all class if one reaches 70?
@narrow vale you can use it on all jobs/classes under lv70 still. it lasts until 90days are up or whenever server stops being preferred
@simple shore same. maybe we will try later
An Atma weapon equipped? Yokai watch?
I mean he said they shuffled out member in various combos so that shouldnt be a thing unless they're all dumb and below ilvl
lol
Which seems unlikely
@narrow vale its whatever is longer
if you are within 90 days but server is still preferred you keep it till thats goen
if server isnt preferred but you are within your 90 days you keep it
do the ranged dps cards for AST also include casters?
Is the road to 70 buff a one and gone thing, or can I move to a preferred server to get it again once it's ran out?
one time thing
items marked with leather are used for leatherworking right?
@simple shore we r all 485+, i told u i can stream everything if you want.. it must be a bug
@mental garnet yes
Is the road to 70 buff a one and gone thing, or can I move to a preferred server to get it again once it's ran out?
@errant bison only new character made in Preferred World gets it
Meh, at least I made good use of it while I had it I guess.
is yoshi p every gonna make floating furniture easier?
Be thankful that he didn't make an effort to remove floating furniture
trying to build a second floor in apartment or even making walled off sections is pain
Can anyone that has done the Wondrous Tales journal ping me? I'm confusd ;^;
@little swift It says you can only do 9 stories. But the rewards go up to 4 lines. Does that mean I have to do 16 stories? That's not possible in the journal o: it says only 9
The rewards arent up to 4 lines
I meant 3 lines sorry!
and the stamps appear on the page
you reroll them to form lines
and try to align them for 3 lines to earn all the rewards
@little swift Ohhh! But when you reroll do the stamps go away?
if you gain 10% for 20s but lose 20% every 4s, you go negative really quick
Dark it buffs YOUR magic damage (which is all damage you do) and everyone in your parties physical damage.
ah.
So could you technically get the whole board full of stamps and get the 3 lines reward like that?
should i save it for the first melee combo then?
5gcd onwards
just play WT for a week then come back and ask questions
k

Think tic tac toe / bingo
But if there's 3 lines, and each line has 4 stamp slots,, and only 9 stamps can be put down, how do you get 3 full lines? That would be 12 stamps you'd need. I'm sure its easier than I'm thinking but I don't understand XD
Over laps
here are all the possible orientations
OHHH
Basically you want to have 7 stamps applied and then start shuffling
OOOO
-O-O
--OO
---O
and get into something that could result in those shapes
9 stamps, 3 lines
@simple shore Why 7? o:
and then pray to RNGesus that your last 2 stamps go in the right place to make 9
because you cant shuffle above 7
because you can only rerolled between 3 and 7 stamps
Cuz that's the restriction they set on WT
OOOO -O-O --OO ---O
@warped nest OHHHH
Wow thank you guys XD sorry I never really got to play bingo
Or tic tac toe
This is all so much more helpful guys! Thank you ^.^
to explain why you can't reroll past 9
1-2 lines are usually pretty easy
only between 3 and 7
Dont waste points on Retry btw
???
@simple shore Oh only shuffle?
Retry is OK, if you cannot do other duties
second chance points come so often
My second chance points are full xD
I guess retry is fine if you literally dont have 9 duties unlocked
I unlocked every available dungeon up to my level but not trials and raids yet ;^;
You get more Second Chance points when you complete any duties with a new player
Does it matter which duty I do? Like, is the last set of things I can do better than the first set?
Ifrit normal queing usually gets me back up
when should I meld determination?
Awesome ^.^ Thank you so much guys ^.^ The category? o:
nvm, what is determination for?
the dungeon (lvl whatever) categories at the top are the most open for your choice
@magic light when the gear has cap on other better secondary stats
determination is a stat that boosts damage and healing
@magic light that question is not answerable without knowing what job you are.
okay, rdm
Iirc, Red Mage stat priority is crit > dh>= det
Determination is your tertiary priority in melding then. Crit > DH > Det
@magic light If that's a trait thing like vitality, you can hover over them on the character screen for explanations:3
yes all your stats are in the stats and attributes screen on your character profile
do i have to use level 80 chara for the allegory or not?
Yes
aka crystal tower
but if i use level 80 chara ill get phantasmagoria and allegory?
yes
So if you unlocked Alexander and Omega, but not Eden, then it will never put you into Eden
if i use lower chara ill get the poetics only?
Yes
alright cool thanks 😄
Because that's what the job is eligible for
aka crystal tower
@scarlet sandal that on alliance roulette
So are Poetics for 50-70 gear and Phantasm is 80?
So are Poetics for 50-70 gear and Phantasm is 80?
@granite swan Poetic is the universal tomestone
Ah k
So, if and when we hit 6.0, all Shadowbringers stuff becomes old expansion, and they all will be traded using poetics
ooh
Anyone know how to use the player search feature? I'm putting a friends name in and like, there's no search results.
@dapper oyster a reminder that roulette consider you for contents you have unlocked
So if you unlock something, but haven't done it
It can still show up on roulette
Hey this is for anyone who has read part 7 of Jojo but is there anything in this game that looks like funny valentine shirt/jacket
attribute explanations and melding makes me conflicted on things
Limit break
@compact citrus limit break bar is a shared resource for your entire party so when you use it you use it all
that depends on whether you hit another tier @magic light
if neither does then it doesn't matter what you meld
hey whats the recommended sound setting?
i recall there was a picture that illustrated a good setting
so
a 2.5s cast time grants me 3k damage in pvp, that seems low (from 2 abilities, one hardcast, one dualcast)
i was playing my rdm in frontline, and i didn't seem to be doing enough damage to hurt anyone
whats a skybuilder ?
