because the leftovers are gatherers
oh so you can't buy it rn?
No
The ability to buy it is usually added 2 patches later
We just got the ability to buy hades mounts
what's the philosophy behind not letting us by mounts with 99 tokens?
oh so right now its only, chance to drop, and if it does 1/8
yeah makes sense
i found it in one of my clears and rolled 2
lol
but i got sam weapon second clear so cant complain
Is there a current list of icon names that can be used in macros? Quick google search seems rather outdated and many don't work any more.
Hi, sorry I just wanted to ask a question.
Does someone know what can I sell on the market board ? I have ideas but I don't really know if there's a better way to make gils.
I thinked about selling lvl 80 Stuffed Cabbage but idk.
Maybe some of you have tips to give, thanks
@errant bison All job actions, all items, all minion and mount icons. Probably more.
hmm can we still get whisper a go go?
yes
Not all minions work, unless I'm getting the command incorrect.
should be
hmm why didn't i get the item....?
Achievement item rewards are never automatically given to you
i thought just getting the achievemt
You have to go to Jonahas
Both /micon and /macroicon with and without quotes don't work for minions.
@errant bison You need to own the minion in the first place
Yep, I do.
/macroicon "Minion name" minion
wait. flare still consumes all mana if i have umbral hearts, for aoe rotation without fire 2. am confusion. head empty no thoughts. in a dungeon and suffering
It's a lv68 trait that does that
I used a retainer fantasia and wut personality should i pick?
My retainer is a miner
Doesn't matter
Simple one /macroicon "wayward hatchling" doesn't work.
I’m new to this discord and I was curious where to ask. I’m looking for a group to farm hells kier with cause I’ve farmed it so much I want to have a dedicated group of people not leaving right after looting
Ahhh that fixed it, thanks.
What is this and how can I collect it?
type /lookout
@leaden ginkgo 90% of them are /lookout but some rare ones will be /sit or /pray or other emotes so you'll have to look it up.
Those are sightseeing logs btw

So what is the best way to level up new classes
Also for MSQ quests could I preform the quest with the main then hand in on an alt?
Hunting Logs, Fate's, spamming the highest level dungeon you can do
I dont think you can, you have to be the same job you started the quest as
Also for MSQ quests could I preform the quest with the main then hand in on an alt?
@leaden ginkgo if the alt is lower level than the quest, then you cant
Thanks for the fast responses
As much as I want to grind MSQ doing it capped feels bad
Like I'm wasting all this exp etc
so I got the pld sword from yokai, but not the shield. Where can I get that?
I mean, do I need to collect more medals?
how do you do, custom deliveries?
found it, looks like i have to be a level 60 hand or land
is the lv. 50 gold saucer weapons (healer staff)worth buying or is it a waste of gold saucer currency and I'll find better weapons during the story immediately afterwards?
at lv 50 you want the ironworks gear which you can buy with tomestones of poetics in mor dhona
yeah sabotender's cane isn't good, you can easily find better weapons
only get it if you want its looks
If i stop download will it restart from the begining or will it resume
Go to higher floors
Yes
cool
HOh gives you a guaranteed upgrade when clearing floor 30 and you can spam 21-30
Is getting my relic weapon worth it for anything nowadays? (lvl 50)
or just for glasmour purposes?
Not as a functional weapon
if there any factor that affects your chance of gathering hidden items like time of day, etc. Nothing exotic, just lvl 25 seeds
Does any one knows what happens if stop the download. Will it resume from where i remain or will it restart?
Shadowbringers question:
||Will I be able to get feo ul as a minion?||
I got all the yokai minions and I can't get the whisper mount
Not yet jacob
ok thanks
Check pins pepper
You do see ||Feo ul|| when you use a summoning bell on the ||First||
eden 1-4 loot is kinda bad right?
Can someone explain how I'm supposed to get my mount
better focus on 5-8?
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Read top half
The next story quest gives you the seals for it
Quartermaster doesn't give me any such option
You're speaking to the wrong one
Not the oic quatermaster
The personal quatermaster
Its the quatermaster on the right
Ok I found it
Not the OIC one
OiC is for free companies
Thanks for the help
God knows why the fucking NPC can't just tell me that
The wiki is not helpful because it doesn't specify that there are two quartermasters nor does it tell where the right quartermaster is
youtube vid is the way to go for this stuff as it shows you who to talk to
is there any way to replay the custom deliveries from the Crystalin Mean?
No
Do you mean the quest dialogue or actually making deliveries?
Afaik
The answer to both is no.
I mean you're not wrong but surely the wiki should have such basic information like where the NPC actually is
the deliveries themselves
I got it thanks @faint flare 👍
sorry, but dumb question. im level 80, 500 ilvl w/ fishing/weaver/armor/mining at 80. but im soo poor. i want to make some gil for the housing plots that are coming out. what is the most efficient way? ><
Check the market board, see whats in demand and get that
There's no real hard answer
Its all the whim of the market
Gotta go do your market research
are there resources for this or just looking at the board and guessing kinda?
Just looking at the board
Generally treasure maps (the item and mats), mats for new thingd and low level stuff goes well cause lazy people
thanks i will have a look then!
dumb question but do you need to equip the yokai watch in order to get legendary medals ?
Nope just the minion
you dont need it equipped
ok, so weird. i have 8 coins, and i am trying to do a custom delivery, it says i have none?
ok thanks
Did you gather it as a collectable and raise the collectability to at least minimum?
what are efficient ways to gain company seals?

@manic flare turn in gear
@remote lintel how?
are you sergeant 2nd class
no
do roulettes and fates and the GC hunt log
what are roulettes?
queues you for random dungeons that you unlocked for an exp boost
First page you see in duty finder
question: on drk on wol ex, as melee can i get both stack marker/blue marker? (after the first marker of the mechanic)
like, on e5s for example, you will always get orange marker on storm cloud, never the purple one
The flare marker is one 1 tank, 1 healet and 1 dps
I have a question about Enna in Rhalgr's Reach, can you not buy the Scaevan Twine etc from her anymore to augment 390 to 400 gear?
no
No those are removed
flare is the blue one with like white arrows?
Yes
If you have unaugmented gear take it to a calamity salvager
Otherwise you can just buy it all augmented
okay so the answer for that is basically, you can get both
Yes, you can get the growing ball aoe and flare
gotcha
Glamour gear and unlocks alliance raid roulette which is really good for xp
And is required for story
The gear from all 3 crystal tower raids is worse than ironworks
You can only receive one token per chapter of Eden's Verse each week.
uh i dont get it
story eh, i did receive a notification regarding it, though im not sure when would i need it
you need to do it before starting 5.3 story content
Crystal Tower raids are highly important to ShB story
Yeh I am wearing 390 (that I forgot I had from another job) and I have just hit 70 on my DNC
edencall has no weapon?
No
Thats the allegory weapon in a sense
That's what the Crystarium weapon is for
Unless yo have the upgrade from E7S, the allegory weapon loses some value
The allegory weapon is a upgrade but only slight if you dont have the upgrade for it
what is E7S?
Savage version of Iconclasm
what is iconclasm? is it like resistance?
Its the name of the 7th eden fight
the 7th Eden fight, with the birds and portals
Vs idol of darkness
oh i just beat the ramuh...
It goes Fulmination, furor, iconclasm and Refulgence
well since savage is quite hard, i think i wont touch it
so i guess resistance should be good for now
Does logging out in the inn on the bed have any difference from logging out while at a sanctuary?
No
No difference other than getting a cutscene when you log back in
You just get an animation of waking up
Oh okay 😅 Thanks!
so i met this weirr db ug in crystal tower 2nd min obss fight
Anything to watch out for in Abania?
as BM i use blizzard 3 and i diddn't trigger umbral ice 3 buff
The only major thing in Abania is the second boss really
He spawns 3 towers which need to be stood in and each gives a specific element
The boss will gain 1 of the 3 elements and if you dont match the element, you'll be countered
Thats the main thing that gets people
The other 2 bosses aren't that bad
was it 2 elements and get the element it doesn't have? I'd think the boss grabs 2 elements
He gets 1 element
And counters the other 2
You can tell what elements he counters as he calls out "My cup spilleth over with X and X"
oh
easy way to figure it is that yeah
watch the chat bubble
stand in what he doesn't call
also the king behemoth just one shot everyone lol
Hide behind a comet
is there a spawn time for nodes?
is there a way to track them?
@acoustic osprey your blizzard might not have worked bc the miniboss was immune if the other party doesnt have 4 ppl on their pad the other side becomes immune
is the rising event going to be relevant to me when ive only started playing recently and am still halfway through heavensward? Does it have any rewards or is it just story/homages?
There's a mini game for the toybox, a minion and housing item
And ability to buy the old rising consumables of the Champagne bolt and fireworks
@lyric warren happening to me too

will there be any story spoilers?
k, thx
Usually means servers are being slow or having issues
it's not letting me
you need to wait, its server thing :<
nono
everyone on chaos are experiencing issues I think
unless someone would like to declare otherwise
Nahh.. I'm stuck in queue for half an hour :/
I'm in Chaos btw :d
i'm super new to the dc server, I just logged in to make sure
Any chance someone could party my friend and I together? We just started our free trial in Phoenix.
Update: I am now able to view my character, but the login queue is 2146
when does drg get positionals?
at 56 and 58 I believe @deft quiver
Chaos thrust, wheeling thrust and Fang and Claw
Chaos thrust is sub 50
So im not only who cannot login
Is Chaos Thrust a positional?
oh yeah
I might be remembering wrong oof
Yes
my queue is 13 but it isnt chaning
chaos is rear
!action Chaos Thrust
but thats lvl 50
Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
140 when executed from a target's rear.
Combo Action: Disembowel
Combo Potency: 290
Rear Combo Potency: 330
Combo Bonus: Damage over time
Potency: 45
Duration: 24s
Combo Bonus: Grants Enhanced Wheeling Thrust if under the effect of
huh
How fast can i level something from 1 to 30?
Doing hunting logs and mainly potd
its all dps classes
uhh
dungeon spam is not really an option
takes me like 8 or so hours to reach 40 I think
been a while tho
and I'm also lazy asf
so i could probably get 2-3 done by tomorrow
Hunting Logs?
im just trying to get job stones for every class, so when i wanna pick up the class i dont have the deal with the annoying 1-30 grind
Just jump straight into potd
hunting logs to 16
logs only get me to about 12
but I found potd faster already at like 10
hey will the houses in 5.35 be bought instantly? or placeholders
Yes the houses will be available instantly
On server going up
Servers will be up exactly on time
That they state
from experience will people be snatching the houses instantly like in the past when they had houses released?
or will there be a few hours before filled
it will be a free for all so first come first served
anything happend to chaos?
It's down
if you want a house I recommend getting up early
They'll be snatched up pretty quick
Since its only 3 wards and sub wards per housing place
what time do servers usually go up at in the morning?
So 180 x 4
yeah ill have to be if i want that plot ive bneen eyeing for the past year
6am EST
do 720 houses get bought that fast?
yeah unfortunately thousands of people play xD
!faq plot
how much do small medium and large cost?
!faq Housing
small is 3 to 4 mil
It's like 5 12 and 40 or so ain't it?
what's this icon mean?
Melding materia I think
also considering that auto demolishing is off because of covid and ppl are waiting for ages allrdy to get a house
ioll get a small since medium and large are great for FC
The best thing I'd advise, is legitimately practice your speedrun route to the plot you want
^
Have back ups, know how to get to where yoy want
And pick your ward/subward randomly
Does exp boost from meals applies to exp gained from quests or does the exp boost just applies to the exp gained from killing mobs?
how do i get gelmorran potsherd pieces from potd 51-60?
ive gotten a few from here b4
Rarely in brown chests
otherwise its guaranteed from potd 50 clear?
Btw for what are houses?
do we know, less or more, what are the chances for the mount to drop on wol?
Assuming it has the same drop rates as past trials
less than 5% is all the info past testing was able to gleam
is the ruby weapon gear better than the resistance weapons?
No
Assuming it has the same drop rates as past trials
less than 5% is all the info past testing was able to gleam
thanks
Do parties disband when you log off or will they persist?
Spriggan still off ?
Parties persist.
its up now 😄
For the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding,
do the partners also get the minions, or would they have to attend another wedding to get them?
I've been wondering... if the 300k gil limit for free trial is still there, is there anything worth spending gil on in trial?
not really.
You get a lot of free gear
The one thing you might end up buying is weapons, but that'd be it as far as I know
As long as you have ~10k or more you'll be able to teleport around freely. That's about the only use you have for money on the free trial
Well, I got 220k right now, and I'm worrying about hitting the cap sometime soon
Wait that wouldn't even be a thing since you don't have access to the MB
The only thing I could think of, would be buying a tone of materials to level doh classes...
Where are you in the MSQ Kami? and do you plan to pick up the game after hitting the MSQ limit on the trial?
Well, after hitting 60, I plan to pick a different class and play the game helping my friends, and if they are into it, we will get the full game + expansions at that point
I'm at lvl 44 MsQ quests
yeah you might cap out your gil by then
I just got into the mor-something area
If you're worried about gil. Go ahead and work a bunch of crafters to level 15
its all vendor materials and mindless autocrafting
what's the going price for 2k phant rn
and being at 15 to unlock stuff like GC deliveries is good
altho there is a possibility I will activate my game code when they start playing so I can make party for us
Thats entirely server based Tak.
So when is it safe to use lb3 for SOS EX?
I mean whenever you can pull it off. generally between mechanics? don't forget to bait it
Is there any guide to level my lv 10 conjurer to become lv 60+ WHM? 
does drg get aoes?
it's just an alt job so want it to be fast
!faq altleveling
I think so at lv 50ish @deft quiver
Yeah they have aoes
I have been told you don't want to use it early because he gets invincibility
!faq leveling
dangit. whats the damn command for alt leveling >:|
drg gets it first aoe at 40
Stone vigil is the first dungeon you can start using aoe for Dragoon
You can LB SoS when he is casting something
i see
Well I've cleared twice but I feel like I need more clean up in phase 3 before I farm some more clear parties it is
What gear is better for end game crafters, the white scripts gear? Or the crafted gear?
crafted by far
Assuming Melded, Aesthete > Facet > White Scrip > Dwarven
white scrip gear is for casual crafters like me who only do weekly deliveries
But it’s almost the same effort to get one set or the other, so I’ll aim for the crafted gear I think
Whats the name of the crafted set?
Fissie named them all
and its not. its MUCH easier to get the white scrip gear than it is the crafted
That’s for head, body, waist legs and foot?
uhm i just read that ppl also sell their housing spots o.o uhm is there a extra trading chat or how does it work 😮
Oh no, it’s from best to lower, I get it @median locust
They generally advertise in party finder

and generally its selling FC housing because it can be transfered wholesale to a new owner by simply giving them control of the Free Company
It is however, risky
as the trade is not sanctioned by SE.
so you can get scammed.
yeah but i want a normal housing spot not a fc one o.o
well, when someone vacates their house,
the house will become available at a random time after
isnt the spot insta free if u manually demolish it?
nope
not impossible. i did it
housing has also been a raw topic in FFXIV
expect a lot of people to kill you for the new housing 
people with too much time and money just buy house after house because they can
i wanna buy a large spot but im kinda confused of ppl output
some say 5mil
then i see the homepage and it says 40mil
someone in novice network mention prepare 55m lol
but not sure where the number coming from
their head*
l
and i assumed its L
something about the same y ^
okay how does it work after the new housing got released are they on max price
or how does it work
right so
🤷♂️
yes, house prices deprecate over time
so logically they will be at max price
however
there are classes of plots, based on location
and that also varies the price
yeh
and then be ready to speedrun to buy
do ppl on EU even have so much money? i just transfered from NA to Eu and NA has shit tons of gil and on EU everything seems so cheap o.o
I mean of course there are people on EU with money
some people in this game main crafter
and their "endgame raids" is just seeing how many retainers they need to keep all their fucking money
okay so i read 720 spots are free on each server how many of them are then L?
All I can say is not many
so 10-30?
Basically you're going to need to keep a hawklike eye on when the new plots go live
log in within like 30 minutes of servers going back up
and already be in the place you want
i assume mist is most wanted
lol no
shiro? 😮
Its absolutely Shirogane first
ah okay
when Ishgard housing goes live
for a time it will be them
because 'new shiny thing omg'
do u think ppl will move their house and their old spots gonna be free?
is the spot then insta free or do u still need to wait till 12pm?
i read that a spot only gets avaible after 12pm if a house got demolished or smh like that
No it gets a timer of a random amount of time applied to it when it gets demolished
same random timer
yep
Yes
I camped my small little nothing plot in Lavender Beds for 4 and a half hours
guess time to take day offs haha
No regrets. I love my house :3
So I was doing a dungeon run yesterday, as DRK
I start off easy, and the healer tells me I can pull more
So I do
Once I pull to his apparent satisfaction, though, we immediately die because I'm just not getting topped up.
So I pull smaller pulls.
i belive u 😮 but i want a mansion cus the yt vids look rly nice
The healer continues to aggro first, and drag us additional pulls.
Am I the asshole?
as long as you have the cash fam
@halcyon grail let them die
Nah Stylus
you are the tank,
you decide the tempo
well im still afraid even if i have the cash haha
It was the 65 one iirc, the warrior of the steppe trial
just be aware unless you're gathering all the furnishings yourself it will be an additonal sum to get it up and running
yeah the healers a fucking goober
Bardam's mettle is notorious for tearing tanks apart
regardless of class or gear
Yeah, I feel like the damage I'm absorbing has taken a spike up in Stormblood
The underwater one felt a bit bloody too
I thought it might have been because we were still in transitory gear or something
Hi guys I'm buged in the mision under the water and I need to talk whit lyse but I can't dismount the fish
ofc
I only drop rotating them in if it looks like they're gonna die halfway through the duration or something
Dark Knight really wants TBN to actually be effective as a tank
currently you're just a budget warrior with less crits
and strictly worse cooldowns in all regards
What time do Squadron things reset?
what squadron things?
being able to send em on training
the weekly squadron mission I guess?
nah the 3x daily thing
oh
same time as daily I would assume
^
it would've reset....a few hours ago?
newp mines 0/3 still
I think?
Ah, its 1pm PDT
!reset
0 Days, 20 Hours, 5 Minutes, 1 Seconds
0 Days, 1 Hours, 5 Minutes, 1 Seconds
2 Days, 13 Hours, 5 Minutes, 1 Seconds
2 Days, 13 Hours, 5 Minutes, 1 Seconds
0 Days, 7 Hours, 5 Minutes, 1 Seconds
0 Days, 0 Hours, 5 Minutes, 1 Seconds
6 Days, 17 Hours, 5 Minutes, 1 Seconds
Does every dungeon give a class-appropriate piece of gear even in trust?
Say I have an account on ps4 and PC, is it possible to play on the same account at the same time, so long as its on the 2 separate platforms?
Hello can i ask a question
No you may not ask a question in the channel called #questions-and-help
also No @regal vapor
guys how can i increase to level 2?
oh true
@marble drift where can i ask for help?
damn im blind sry
I was kidding Gume -.-
You can ask here
He's trolling ask herr
awww
Here
you can get luminous crystals on any class as long as you have the quest active, correct?
dont need permission just ask away 😄
Yeah Vie
does any know how to unlock normal Raids from duty roulette
See? This is why we have a stricter no shitposting rule in here
the normal raids roulette?
yes
Raids in those start at lv60
You'll simply need to unlock some normal raids. I forget how many you need to qualify
The 60 stuff starts in idyllshire iirc
Thank you Silverhand
the level 50 binding coils are not normal raids
Think you just need 2
Once you have 2 raids available you gget the roulette
does it need to be complete all the alexander ?
Yes the alexander raid series is in that roulette
You could also unlock it through the eden or omega raid series as well
But those are lv80 and 70 respectively
Alexander is Heavensward, Omega is Stormblood and Eden is Shadowbringers
Thank You Very Much
i went to search on ffxiv wiki but didnt find so i came here
what are the easy beginner classes for the 4 types they have in this game
Its very subjective
I personally find classes to be easier than others but my opinion is just that.
I can definately recommend warrior as your 'easy tank' however
is there a way to level two or more jobs at the same time?
And tbh I found Paladin an easier tank personally, so it's def entirely subjective depending on what your playstyle is
Or can you only level up one job at a time?
Play Arcanist @thorny lion
Ah that makes sense
its the only one but it technically levels scholar and summoner at the same time
pick the weapon that you like the most 😄
I was wondering cause my friend is a SCH and SMH and he was gaining XP for both
I can tell you right now Kari. End game paladin rotations are a lot trickier than endgame warrior
endgame warrior is get angry
FELL CLEAVE
are gunblade or DRK tricky at max level?
Paladin is like 2 different dps windows and timing to make the use of them and Warrior is just " 😠 "
Both are pretty active
Openers can be a bit tricky to get used to
no trick i think
how do u get 470 DoH gear?
DRK opener is kinda fluid
its basically just trying to line all your oGCDs inside raid buffs
the price of ACN is that you have 2 tricky classes
I wouldn't consider Scholar that tricky
its not even the most active healer class
active as in "high apm"
yeh. By the time you reach max level you'll probably already master the class, lol
but maybe thats just astro being overly active in comparison
look up their relic weapon and glamour and see if you like how they look
really dumb question,
when should I do the Job-Quest to get the respective Soul-Crystal?
I know they're available at 30, but I'm at 50 for a few classes and at this point I'm too afraid to do it.
Immediately
should be lv 30 for basic job/class
Abania: is there some new mechanic introduced there?
@open rivet you are effectively griefing and harming everyone if you dont have your soul crystal post 30. You're missing 20 levels of skills
I hate how no-one actively told you sooner
^
or...maybe they did and you wern't paying attention
idk, do npcs talk to me?
not like those squadron guys would listen, all they do is let me die
There is no reason not to get it
which content are you running? what classes do you play?
parties?
you had to have done dungeons without squadrons
you had to have used the duty finder. its mandatory
there were real people there
yeah, I said I had a few classes, not all my classes
you guys jumping to conclusions :O
I mean leveling past 50 on any class without getting your job crystal is bad
Doesn't matter how many
and then you have an entire chain of quests to do once you get soul crystals
@mossy turret 
what do i do with these? https://i.imgur.com/PfXgV3M.png
Either craft with them or sell them on the market
what do you craft with them?
The ishgard restoration receipes

Does anyone have a recommendation on a server to use for beginners? Myself and 2 friends want to start playing, but I would like us to start on a server that is new user friendly if possible
so i am reading that summoner, astrologist, ninja, and black mage are the hard classes, and everything else is beginner friendly?
play primal
hey anyone down to run alphascape v4 unsync 1 time
preferred worlds give you a double exp buff on all sources for all jobs/classes under level 70
otehrwise worlds matter very little for things other than player guild joining and market
which can't access in the trial anyways
Is there a website or something to track fates in a certain area?
Where am i supposed to get the quest for my lilly? it says be level 52 and im supposed to go accept a quest but when i go no one is there to give the quest
ohh ok thanks
Is there an easy way to discard all my junk equipment that isn't even green?
Does anyone know if the Hrothgar can wear any wizard hats?
does stormblood have a gatherer beast tribe? Like the Qitari?
The namazu
The Namazu is the Crafter beast tribe, I mean like Botanist/Miner
namazu is both crafting and gathering
Fuck, I wanted to play them cause their emotes are awesome but I want wizard hats. Whats like the best race for AST lmao
huh, didn't know you could do namazu as gatherer too
@obsidian patio Thank you!
I mean astethically, right now im a milo and my AST are super flamboyant and I wanna look more mysterious but AST armor doesn't provide that and thought maybe a different race would make it look better
Maybe its just the level 60 gear
how much would a small house be on 5.35?
!faq Housing
See pricing
@obsidian patio namazu isn't gatherer
It is
Yes
I don't believe that

It just asks you to go to a location, get a thing and come back
Like how qitiri function
I really am gonna need to check this out
then again someone in my FC didn't believe that you can get shiva unreal mount from khloe
...
I stand corrected.
I wish there were literally any open houses on midgard
Well you got until 5.35 to save up money and prepare for the housing rush
Is there any news or hints at release date for it?
No
But probably late September / early October
Going by average schedules and assuming no further delays
Alright cool, thanks for the info
Are there any requirements for using someone's two seater mount? I'm trying to fly someone who's on a trial account around but they can't get on, is it bc of the trial acc? 👀
Hm are you both partied
We are, I travelled over from another server though
Nope
They don't see "Ride Pillion" option when they target you and right click on the target bar?
They're playing on PS4, so we probably just haven't found the right button yet... lmao
We'll keep trying, thank you!
@obsidian patio do you know how to bring up the sub menu on target
hey whats the fastest way to level a second class? spam duty roulette: levelling (lv16+)?
!faq altlvlguide
See this
ty
Aaaah it worked, thank you @obsidian patio @twilit arch
Never spam roulettes. Only do them once a day
thanks
I'm kind of at a loss for what to use phatasmagoria tomestone for - I have a mix of 460/480 gear right now - any guides like there are for poetics?
Check the market for what mats are selling and buy those
generally used for the new crafting/gathering gear atm
Alternatively advertise that you're selling tomes directly and have the market come to you
^^^ check party finder, sometimes ppl throw offers there to buy your tomes
Where do you purchase mats with them?
!item megalania skin
stuff like this
Top floor?
Ye
k, thanks, I'll have a look
OH sorry i read "what do you purchase" not "where" :x
Just different menu
Within doubt dried hi ether is generally good if you're blanking/lazy
Since pots need it
Generally sells quickly
ok
new crafter/gather gear requires a lot of mats from those too tho
Ofc market prices depending
i just spent 2k for my buddy last night for his gather gear
(if you can craft the pre-crafts from those items, those will likely sell for slightly more)
What's the point of moving your retainer to different cities, aside from tax rate? If my retainer is in Limsa, it's not selling on the MB of other cities?
So why wouldnt you move it
tax rate
What's the purpose of the city then, there's no discernible reason to not move
Because people are damn lazy to move it and its extra hassle
Okay Masked Carnivale #15 is really pissing me off with the Bestial Node and the Arena Shabti. Does anyone have any tips? I'm throwing myself facefirst into a brick wall at this point
Does it change that often?
Somewhat often
its just...Gil has few uses tbh but some are more frugal than others always
This indicates that just the main cities are normal rate, anywhere else stays reduced. So I'd just park retainer in one of the reduced cities at all times
Seems dumb to have that system if there's no benefits to stay in the main city anyway.
@hidden lotus try this https://astralflamesblog.wordpress.com/aurics-guide-to-the-masked-carnivale/
I'll give it a look-over, thanks!
Np, it wasn't the guide i remember from before but..that was at 50 blu so not sure about it anymore

Do I only need 5 legendary medals for each minion or does the price increase as I buy weapons?
So currently lvl38 BLM, at what point do I stop using Fire 1 and Blizzard 1? Also is it okay if I sell the lvl50 Blue Set they give per class? Or will I need it later for a upgrade on it at higher lvl or something idk.
It increases after you buy the first weapon
5 for the first weapon, 10 for the rest
You never stop using Fire 1 but you stop using Blizzard 1 after getting blizzard 3
You can get the lv50 job gear back via the calamity salvager
alrite i'll switch it out when i get it. oh okay i can feel less scared to sell these off then. thanks
does anyone know what the new crafting set is called?
Aesthete
thanks
Is it possible to get gear from MSQ again somewhere? Not the glamour stuff but the actual gear? Like say from the steppes?
Yes
Can I not use 2 crystarium rings? do they have to be different with no way around it?
All the gear the story gives is just HQ crafted/vendor gear
No because they're unique. You need to augment one to wear 2
Hm ill have to check vendors, i kinda want the steppes outfit for glamour now lol
Ah ok
Thanks
why does it seem like my lvl 460 crafting chest is better than the aesthete 490 chest?
is it melded?
or that ^
And melds ofc
No
How many hunting log levels are there (for class specific hunting logs)?
5
Final Fantasy XIV loading screens is server-side right?
the image? probably not
Do I only need to buy Shadowbringers? And Ill have the full game and everything?
if you're on the trial, no you need to also buy the starter edition
This is probably a really silly question but I haven't been able to figure it out - how exactly do i move the chat window?
drag the chat tab
click on the bottom bar where "general" "event" etc is
and drag it to where you want
are there any glowing body armor pieces in the game other than elemental gear (from eureka) and "Augmented Cashmere Robe of Healing/Casting" (crafted) ?
Ah, never tried dragging the tabs themselves
Anyone know of a good way to remove gear that's not part of a gear set from your armory chest in bulk? I usually let gear my retainers get me accumulate and then mass desynth, but shifting through all my gear and putting them in my inventory one by one is time consuming.
stash your sets, then remove all remaining items
Stash as in put them in an armoire?
Question: Im at the end of HW MSQ (not Dragonsong), and I've got ~1.9k Allagan Tomestones of Poetics, whats the recommendation for them ? Do I buy gear for alts ? Hoard it ?
@sick osprey AFAIK, not really if you don't count using the "flashy" metallic dyes
!faq poetics
Ooh, thanks
shire gear from idyllshire is a good choice
But wont I get better gear from MSQ eventually ?
stash as in putting them somewhere else (your inv, your retainer, whatever) just so they're in a separate location
I don't want to waste it on temp gear
not until stormblood story
then you can simply get rid of everything thats left in your armoury inv
and either way I recommend getting the weapon for a big boost in damage
Ah ok
to make going through the story faster
and idyllshire lets you actually "convert" poetics into gil by trading in the unidentifiable shells/ores into gardening topsoils to sell on the marketboard
Hey guys, I'm trying to advance in the Alchemist quests and I got at a point where the guildmaster asks me to create some HQ potions. Is it possible to get high quality monsters drops after killing a monster? like hq bat fangs and stuff
Yes but its all rng
oh okey, thanks a lot!
How do I make friends?
That doesnt really seem like an FF14 question.
Poetics to gil via idyllshire is such a paltry amount though.
20-30kfor 2k poetics, feels not even worth bothering.
it's better as nothing if u got no other use for it anymore
I used to do demicrystals when they were worth 500 gil vendor price instead of the current 50 gil
since they would sell for 1k each at the doman enclave
so a full 2k poetics would've been worth 80k
Hmm, how do you unlock Manipulation (L65)? I'm crafter lvl 71
jobquests
Feels a bit better - I have 4M just going through the MSQ and haven't really used it for anything. I'm sure there are gil sinks if I look.
level 65 crafter quest for your class unlocks it
if i wanted to catch a princess trout, where would i go and what bait would I use?
almost all freshwater bait or versatile lure at these fishing holes
Versatile lure works for all fish, as a note.

It's much more fun than normal gathering though
Also another question, at what point should I try and complete the Aether Currents for HW ? Or can I just leave it be until Im bored
personally would do them as you're doing msq
most are near msq objectives so I would get them while doin my msq
I usually go for them asap.
since they're generally on the way
and find it easier to go them done now rather than later
just know that Sea of Clouds is split in two, so don't worry about completing that one until the story takes you to the top half
Is there an up to date Shadowbringers food and potion guide for raiding? As I've been looking and can't find anything, and don't particularly fancy just scrolling through the foods on the wiki
alright, thanks
Balance discord typically has foods jobs uses
are there some good videos/guides to leveling crafters and there rotations?
check pins in #doh-dol-lounge
and alternative u can also check the balance doh/dol section
im so confused, im trying to sign into the launcher for the first time, but i need a one-time password
but i cant use the one-time password unless i buy the game
im just trying to play the trial
ignore the one time password section
Its a optional field
This is more of a general question, how does the Gunbreaker class compare to tanking in a different mmo, like wow? I read on the subreddit that everyone's expected to pull more of their weight in terms of DPS?
Gunbreaker is very active as a tank, its burst phase/ammo combo is very rapid and at points it feels like a dps but its still a tank, very fun
It has very good defensive cooldowns as well
And yes, every job is expected to dps
Oooh, that actually sounds p rad
I'm coming over from wow, so tanking in this sounds so much different
Fights in this game is scripted out the ass
Tanking is more planning cooldowns out
And doing tank swaps properly and some positioning
Wdym, scripted? Like, story-wise?
bosses are generally very static
aaaaah, I see
If a boss does a tank buster at say, 2minutes
It will ALWAYS be there
And randomness is coded in and mostly predicted
though for the current patch there's an extreme trial that has a loosely ordered sort of mechanics for the second half of the fight
that...actually sounds kinda nice?
Hey for the Binding Coil of Bahamut Questline can I just skip to the last turn to continue the questline?
yes
Basically once you've seen the enrage of a fight
You can plan out EVERYTHING
Down to movement, skill usage and all
Is there a way to change classes early on? I noticed the Lancer and Galdiator starting zones are in different locations, so I'm guessing I'll need to find a way to get to the gladiator zone to change to one?
Once you do the lv10 class quest for your starting class, you can go pick Up other claases
You'll go to the other main cities at lv15 in the story
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
speaking of changing classes. Can anyone recommend me how to go about setting up hotbars for my second class? Do I just do it in a second hot bar set up in the HUD menu? Or is there a cleverer way? Any tutorials out there?
Your hotbars automatically swap when you change class
oh cool
Provided theyre not set to be shared
well then. thats nice
Which you can change in character config and hotbar settings
which ones would I share... stuff like my chocobo/sprint/teleport hotbar
yes
I share my out of combat stuff
you really only need to unshare like hotbars 1-4
thats great. I was keen to level my tank when waiting for queues etc but put it off becuase I was being hotbar lazy
Does anyone know if there is a discord that exists to help people do older extreme trials synced?
@nova briar I found this one from the balance discord https://discord.gg/AQbZUbg
@nova briar I found this one from the balance discord https://discord.gg/AQbZUbg
@obsidian patio thanks! :)
Heyo guys
I was wondering, is it possible to clear some stormblood EXTREMES with a fully geared paladin and summoner unsynced?
as a level 80 DRK can I solo minstrel's ballad: ultima's bane?
yes
