stable herald
#

Oh

#

by mediating first?

#

meditating*

#

interesting

tawdry otter
#

meditating is uselss and we sam dont use it

#

because its a high dps loss

remote lintel
#

not meditating

#

higanaban + midare + tsubame

stable herald
#

Ah. Out of combat.

#

I see.

slate crow
#

Is there anywhere to buy grade 1 carbonized matter?

#
Q: Meditate and Shoha?
- We no longer use Meditate in our opener and instead use it exclusively for downtime.
- Use Shoha every 3 stacks (sometimes between Midare and Tsubame).
remote lintel
#

that gives you 3 stacks

open rivet
#

@slate crow nope, gotta gather it

stable herald
#

And to get the new upgraded neoishgard gear, we have to get the Aetherstone?

#

There is no reason NOT to use Shoha tho

remote lintel
#

correct

stable herald
#

right. Gotcha.

remote lintel
#

shoha near the end

tawdry otter
#

First Stack: Higanbana
Second Stack: Midare Setsugekka
Third Stack: Kaeshi Setsugekka
Shoha

twilit arch
#

to augment neo-ish, you have to exchange either NQ or HQ (HQ is 1:1 trade) for Eulmoran Certificate of Novelty and Undersea rain (which is bought with phanta)

stable herald
#

Oh.. Damn. hmm.. i guess I can consider crafting it then

sour path
remote lintel
#

because you need a sect first

#

you cant change sect mid battle

willow breach
#

anyone know when maintenance is happening?

sour path
#

@remote lintel What do you mean? Sorry I'm a slow learner cx

granite swan
#

@willow breach in like 20ish hours i think? its tonight i believe anyway

remote lintel
#

@willow breach tonight 11 pm pdt

#

@sour path diurnal sect

willow breach
#

oh ok

#

thanks

remote lintel
#

you need to put diurnal sect on to use aspected benefic

#

you cant change to nocturnal sect in the middle of combat

open rivet
#

@willow breach roughly 24hrs iirc

willow breach
#

ah alright. thanks

#

i m in aus so i m really bad at time zone stuff

sour path
#

@remote lintel So use diurnal first?

#

I didnt know which to use first xD

remote lintel
#

diurnal is something you turn on and leave on

#

like tank stance

sour path
#

Oh! That makes sense!! Thanks!!

remote lintel
#

you need to have it on to use abilities that require it

untold sand
#

Can u refer old players or is there a timelimit? On how many subs and months ur buds have before they are denied refer access?

sour path
#

@remote lintel One more question. Can I and is it worth it to put sect on the whole team? Or just tank?

remote lintel
#

you mean aspected benefic?

sour path
#

@sour path Diurnal sect o:

#

Oh shoot yeah that one XD

#

My bad XD

remote lintel
#

typically put it on a tank before pull

#

if another person needs a regen put it on them

whole wasp
#

RAF limit is that the player you are giving the code must not have purchased their first month of sub, the free first month from buying the game doesnt count

#

idk if there is a limit to number of RAF code you can give out

untold sand
#

Oof

#

Hes and old sub player e_e

sour path
#

@whole wasp When do they put in the referall code? My friend is using free sub but im getting him paid sub soon and want to use my referall

untold sand
#

Thanks @whole wasp

sour path
#

@remote lintel Okay thanks ^.^

whole wasp
#

In Mogstation. Its the giant banner with teh chocobo

remote lintel
#

they put it in during the free 30 day period

whole wasp
remote lintel
#

they cant put it in during trial or after they bought time

sour path
#

@whole wasp OH. Well shoot I don't got much time left to get hik to do it XD

whole wasp
#

you dont have to rush

#

they can wait and not purchase subs

gloomy ice
#

After they purchase the game but before they subscribe for the first time

sour path
#

Okay so I bought him the bundle that gives him 30 days free. So he enters in in these 30 days?

#

Ohhhh

whole wasp
#

as long as he hasnt bought a month of sub, its fine

sour path
#

Yeah i bought him the game for his birthday XD So much money....my wallet...XD

whole wasp
#

if they never sub after, they are always eligible

sour path
#

Okay awesome!@

#

I was told he couldn't until he did sub but maybe they meant until free trial was over

whole wasp
#

oh and they are not allowed to buy subs until the free 30 days are over so they cant accidentally screw themselves either

remote lintel
#

i thought they can?

whole wasp
#

nope. cant purchase subs until free 30 days are over. got alot of people asking why they cant buy subs

sour path
#

Oh good XD good. But it can be during the free subscription? Not trial, but the sub that came with the bundle?

whole wasp
#

some EU law i think

drowsy grove
#

How do i get to the Golden Saucer from Ul'dah? sorry

whole wasp
#

Airship

sour path
#

@drowsy grove Talk to the well heeled youth

remote lintel
#

@sour path yes

sour path
#

Oh never mind XD

#

@remote lintel Sweet ^.^

drowsy grove
#

is that by the Wellhead Lift?

granite swan
#

@whole wasp Does that include the free 15 days if u hit 30 on a pref server? or just the first 30?

remote lintel
#

@drowsy grove if you attuned to every aetheryte you can just teleport to the airship

whole wasp
#

i uhh not sure.

drowsy grove
#

ahh i go by airship then?

#

i dont think i have

sour path
#

Poor smug XD GIVE US ALL THE ANSWERS! Sorry i just thought it was funny xD you're so helpful though!!

granite swan
#

Cause i was gonna go ahead and sub soon for my xp helm >.<

whole wasp
#

you gotta do the unlock quest for golden saucer first. then the airship is unlocked for subsequent travels

#

oh and you gotta do the lvl 15 MSQ to unlock airships in the first place if you havent

untold sand
#

I wonder if RAF reddit is better then, cuz wonder why new players would even bother to select my code

remote lintel
#

to get goodies

whole wasp
#

yea

#

i remember picking an RAF on the reddit

untold sand
#

Most posts ive seen in steam and reddit offer gifts kinda

whole wasp
#

because they gave me 3 million gil to help me start out

#

3 mil aint much in the end but it feels nice

granite swan
#

I asked someone from this channel for theirs :p

untold sand
#

I still only have like 200k ish. And 90% of money atm was cuz my budโ€™s free company lol

remote lintel
#

at what point do you stop getting gold feathers from RAF

untold sand
#

We only like 3 peps

open rivet
#

@remote lintel for recruiting new people it stops at 5, and iirc 180days subbed per person?

whole wasp
#

yea, you get limited number of golden feathers per person iirc

untold sand
#

@granite swan ive asked kinda got told to go to reddit/forums cuz idk if this server is for โ€new playersโ€

granite swan
#

I think ill try subbing tomorrow and see if its the same here in US, or if EU is diff >.> Cause that would suck having to wait another 20 or so days before i can sub lol

remote lintel
#

so you can recruit 5 people and each of those people sub for 180 days and thats the max you can get?

open rivet
#

just checked, 270 days for the amount of subbed days

granite swan
#

@untold sand Well i just figured id help one of the ppl who helped me in return :p

open rivet
#

@remote lintel yes

remote lintel
#

i see

untold sand
#

Idk @whole wasp whats the new member/newbie color here?

remote lintel
#

there is no newbie role

whole wasp
#

there isnt one

open rivet
#

20 feathers max per person + 5 feathers for the first recruit, so 105 Gold feathers total

whole wasp
#

there is an undecided role i guess who are usually newbies

untold sand
#

@granite swan i mean i would if i could. But already used my buds code lol

meager pilot
#

Odd question, does anyone have any recomendations for a jp server where i can find english speaking fcs and people?

remote lintel
#

tonberry and kujata

whole wasp
#

Tonberry is the main Aussie/Oceania server

untold sand
#

Fair

whole wasp
#

Kujata is the designated spillover

#

that said, there are still more japs than english even there

lone zephyr
#

Can you drop mount or minion from the king moogle extreme thing?

untold sand
#

My 2 buds play kinda a lot and i think our free company only has like 500k tops so i cant gift 1mil per player lol

meager pilot
#

Got it. Would have preferred a preferred (haha) world but the aetheryte earing will have to suffice i suppose

gloomy ice
#

Mog Extreme has no mounts or minions.

untold sand
#

Is there a cap for fc members? Dont remember

open rivet
#

yeah, but you realistically won't reach it

untold sand
#

Is it that high? Or just not common?

gloomy ice
#

Uncommon.

whole wasp
#

its 512

untold sand
#

O.O

#

Uuuuh

whole wasp
#

2^9

untold sand
#

Geezus the chats must be hell then

gloomy ice
#

I've been in a large FC such as that before and rarely has there ever been more than 100 on at a time. Chats were relatively easy to keep track of even with a completely full FC. Then again, however, such large FCs are somewhat rare. Usually only one or two on any given server.

drowsy grove
#

@whole wasp @remote lintel Thanks!\

open rivet
#

If I don't turn in Key Items for a collecting FATE, do I get to keep them in my inventory when the FATE ends?

gloomy ice
#

No they disappear

open rivet
#

:C

#

okay, thanks

lone zephyr
#

Can I ask a lore related question?

It's not a spoiler.

gloomy mortar
#

Is there a glowing Dancer weapon?

remote lintel
#

yes to both

gloomy mortar
#

What is it

lone zephyr
#

Why do Moogles have a balloon on their head?

A user on discussion told me that the pom is actually the Moogle itself and the body is a decoy

Looked it up and can't find anything like that

remote lintel
#

they're memeing

#

it's just a pom pom

open rivet
#

I'd say the pom is more for mating,
like a display of sexyness

remote lintel
#

!iglam padjali war quoits

zinc orbitBOT
open rivet
#

they're always talking about who has be best pom,
so it has to be a status symbol, right?

sour path
#

For materia I was told to do crit hit primary for scholar, whats primary for astro?

lone zephyr
#

I'd say the pom is more for mating,
like a display of sexyness
Well on the wiki it said that the color of the pom varies depending on the age of the Moogle or something like that

#

I just wanted to check if what the user was saying was actually true, thank you so much

gloomy mortar
#

How do you acquire the glowing dancer weapon? Palace if the Dead and hope it drops??

remote lintel
#

@sour path you don't need to meld below 80

small pier
#

Hey, are stormblood/heavensward areas story locked or level locked

It says nothing

sour path
#

@remote lintel My scholar is 80 and I'm just wondering for when my astro is

gloomy mortar
#

Is there a craft able glowing Dancer weapon?

granite swan
#

Its not a drop, you convert your Aether Wep into a real one, i think u sacrafice 30/30 points for it or something

remote lintel
#

spell speed to tier > crit > DH > Det unless you want a higher piety build

sour path
#

@remote lintel Spell speed in general or just for astro? What do you mean to tier?

ashen garden
#

is there a popular LS like Novice Network but for Fates/Achievements/World Bosses?

gusty pasture
#

not sure but, are we allowed to ask for help in clearing duties here in this channel?

remote lintel
#

for AST

#

there are tiers to sps

#

you want like 2.38 gcd

#

for the dmg build

sour path
#

@remote lintel Gotcha ^.^ So prioritize spell speed? Or just do a few and the rest crit?

remote lintel
#

prioritize spell speed until you hit the tier

sour path
#

How would I know if I did? o:

remote lintel
#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel

@gloomy mortar Shinryu is the only one for the time being

Potd or hoh do have glowy DNC weapons, but those you have to grind

5.3 AST BiS

Max Standard Set nadecheer
"From Mana With Love"
Etro (2.38, 684)

SpS Sets chenburst
"MonkaW"

"Raid SpellSpeed Legends"
Etro (2.32, 838)
"MonkaWorse" (highest damage ceciuwaa)
Etro (2.32, 684)

SpS sets are higher damage than the standard set, but it is recommended to only play around with them once you are comfortable with a fight, and probably not a good idea for PF weeklies (or PF in general for NA and EU folk, realistically).

Safer MP Set iofime
"2.39 is fine"
Etro (2.39, 1049)

#

Although it's usually smart to double check on The Balance anyway incase the faq is slightly out of date

gusty pasture
#

is there a way to have gae bolg have particle effects?

warped nest
#

Upgrading it?

gusty pasture
#

ohh there's an upgrade? Okay I'll look it up ๐Ÿ˜„

warped nest
#

Specifically, you want to look into Zodiac (the ARR relic series)

#

The later half of the video is the Anima (Heavensward relic series), which has nothing to do with Zodiac

#

@gusty pasture thats a video on How to grind one

gusty pasture
#

oh I did not know it's called a zodiac weapon

#

thank you so much!

slate crow
#

Are clan hunts good for exp?

little needle
#

What is the lowest level one can enter the housing district?

jade quartz
#

Technically level 1; if you are a member of a Free Company that has a house, you can use the teleport list to teleport there regardless of whether you've unlocked access to that district through other means.

#

Otherwise, you must unlock access by doing the level 5 sidequest "Where the Heart Is" which has a separate version for each district

silver lintel
#

when can you use the hookset abilities on fisherman?

jade quartz
#

When Patience or Patience II are active

silver lintel
#

other than that, when?

jade quartz
#

Never

silver lintel
#

meaning like

#

using it cancels what i'm doing

jade quartz
#

They are catch actions

silver lintel
#

only usable when you've hooked something?

jade quartz
#

use in place of atlHookatr

silver lintel
#

ah

stable herald
#

Are ShB dungeons supposed to hit pretty hard for big pulls?

jade quartz
#

Patience increases HQ chance but lowers the chance to catch using Hook

#

by a large amount.

silver lintel
#

indeed

jade quartz
#

So you're supposed to use hookset with them

#

instead of hook

#

And use the appropriate hookset depending on light or medium/heavy tug

silver lintel
#

darn

#

powerful for powerful fish right?

#

precision for small

jade quartz
#

Precision for small, powerful for medium and large.

stable herald
#

To explain a bit

  • im on augmented scaeven
  • running as WHM, I ran out of mana quite quickly, but I USUALLY dont run out of lilies.
  • There are some pulls where the HP keeps tanking like a mofo
little needle
#

Thanks for the response

jade quartz
#

I forget what the text terms are exactly, I'm familiar with identifying the size based on the tug animation and sound effect.

stable herald
#

im just worried about doing big pulls as a AST

silver lintel
#

yeah i think i used it correctly this time but still fell short

stable herald
#

if im already sweating as a WHM, wont AST have a harder time?

silver lintel
#

missed a legendary

#

darn

#

oh god i got it this time

#

thanks

remote lintel
#

@stable herald not necessarily

sage plaza
#

if im already sweating as a WHM, wont AST have a harder time?
@stable herald probably

stable herald
#

I find in big pulls, after shields drop, the tank hp is dropping pretty fast

sage plaza
#

you're liable to blow all your resources too early then get stuck with just benefic II

stable herald
#

But I do see CD usage

remote lintel
#

is their gear bad

stable herald
#

Nah. Aug Scaeven

#

Like ya know in the first dungeon, after.. the first boss

#

that wall to wall?

sage plaza
#

and star being on a delay and is a dps tool makes it hard to rely on

remote lintel
#

pulling wall to wall in holminster is hard

stable herald
#

Loses QUITE a bit of HP in that pull

sage plaza
#

and horoscope is . . . better than nothing

remote lintel
#

i never pull wall to wall in that dungeon

stable herald
#

Thats why I rolled WHM first

#

i wanted to gauge how painful a wall to wall in there was

#

But no one died, and tank survived a 3 stack vuln in the first boss, so I should be doing something correct

remote lintel
#

sure

#

but i wouldnt judge based on that dungeon anyway

stable herald
#

i see. Thanks

untold vessel
#

How long roughly does it take to reach 60 and finish HS? Currently a trial, and I'd like to get the complete edition soonish, but if it takes a few months to finish trial content, I might wait.

remote lintel
#

ast can definitely do big pulls tho

#

if you know what youre doing

#

@untold vessel few weeks

gilded bronze
#

a friend is downloading the game, if he closes it will it continue the download ?

olive herald
#

why is ul'dah so difficult to navigate. trying to find airship landing but map stacks all layers on top of each other so i just cant find it

untold vessel
#

Oh hmm, might just get the complete edition now, really want to start looking for an FC and tired of the whole social locks lol

whole wasp
#

@olive herald the airship landing can only be reached from the elevator iirc

stable herald
#

@remote lintel do teach. WHM has 3 oh shit heals. AST has one

gilded bronze
#

like the game is like 30% if he closes the launcher so he can continue downloading later on will he have to start from 0 the download?

stable herald
#

I doubt I will be doing much dps as AST

#

Vs WHM

remote lintel
#

AST has 2 essential dignities plus synastry plus lightspeed

stable herald
#

Do people usually swap to noct before pulls?

#

For shield?

remote lintel
#

you can swap to noct put shield on tank then swap back to diurnal before pull

stable herald
#

Is that common/beneficial?

#

Well

#

Worth the effort

remote lintel
#

yes

green grail
#

in ex/savage if there's early raidwides sure

#

in dungeons dont bother

jade quartz
#

I wouldn't bother unless in ex/savage

#

yeah

stable herald
#

I see

remote lintel
#

what are the other 2 oh shit heals on whm

#

swapping to whm actually felt slower to me

jade quartz
#

Recommend against thinking of your cooldowns as "oh shit" buttons at all

remote lintel
#

yeah I don't get what they're referring to

jade quartz
#

Essential dignity is on a 40s cooldown and has two charges

#

And you have synastry buff for your GCDs, collective unconscious flash, celestial opposition, celestial intersection

#

and horoscope

warped nest
#

At higher level, you should be using all the tools at your disposal

#

To not get into a "oh shit" situation

jade quartz
#

and earthly star is kinda similar in function to assize

bright badger
#

Is there a way to bind hotbar swapping to mouse buttons like with the expanded controller setup?

verbal tide
#

idk if this is related to the chat but, my friend installed ff14 (launcher) into his G: drive but, when he executes the launcher, the launcher downloads the game and the patches to local disk C

#

has anyone acquired a fix for this?

granite swan
#

How important is the stabby girl in the Trust System? Can i swap her for kittygirl?

marble drift
#

it doesnt matter who you take with Trusts really

little swift
#

Some if them may have some lines sorta related if they happen to be part of the msq at the time

granite swan
#

Oh, thought someone said tankboi lost something without her

remote lintel
#

no

#

he can't use magic abilities without her

twilit arch
#

it really doesn't make that much of a difference

#

it lets him use his cartridge combos, but the dps is not significant

granite swan
#

does catgirl use aoes or is it all single targets?

twilit arch
#

she has a few spells with splash damage, but like all trusts in general

#

doesn't use aoe

granite swan
#

ah

whole wasp
#

trusts aim for a certain clear time

#

if you are slow, they AoE, if you are fast, they do not AoE

twilit arch
#

no

granite swan
#

Wonder what the best combo is then heh

twilit arch
#

they don't aoe, period

whole wasp
#

if you are super slow, they instantly delete mobs by casting death and flare sometimes

remote lintel
#

doesn't matter

whole wasp
#

what really?

twilit arch
#

yes, really

whole wasp
viscid scroll
#

which melee between SAM and DRG is more recommended for a newbie player?

glad comet
#

DRG

viscid scroll
#

Cuz its easier?

granite swan
#

Whats the big diff between the 2 healers?

glad comet
#

DRG because animation lock.

#

learning how to adjust with animation lock.

remote lintel
#

@granite swan not a lot

viscid scroll
#

icic

granite swan
#

I know Uri is an astro i think? not sure what alphi is

glad comet
#

SCH

remote lintel
#

academician

glad comet
#

or rather, an adjusted SCH called Academician

whole wasp
#

alphi has old SCH spells and his own unique carbuncle

#

Uri is just astro and he sometimes cast death

remote lintel
#

what is death

whole wasp
#

uhh its like BLU's lvl 5 death

twilit arch
#

its exactly what its named

#

it kills the target instantly

whole wasp
#

except it kills one mob instantly

remote lintel
#

so he just

#

deletes people

whole wasp
#

yup

remote lintel
#

wish he did that in the story ๐Ÿ˜”

whole wasp
#

Death of the Seventh Dawn is the name of that spell

frank wigeon
#

hey whats the fastest way to level gatheres? and 2nd best. incase the first is levequests and i have 0

whole wasp
#

ishgard restoration

#

go in, smack stuff until you can do class quest, come out do class quest, go back in

frank wigeon
#

ohh hmm im confused

#

is it the same npc for crafters?

whole wasp
#

no, there is an airship captain on the left side when you enter

#

he will ferry you to diadem

frank wigeon
#

ohh

whole wasp
#

which is a special openworld map with gathering nodes

frank wigeon
#

ill google that

#

thank you smug

whole wasp

tidal yarrow
#

whats tomorrow maint about?

green grail
#

ishgard restoration

#

i think

tidal yarrow
#

will ACT be down

green grail
#

ask yoshi p

twilit arch
#

probably

tidal yarrow
#

ugh..

twilit arch
#

because ACT basically breaks on every patch

tidal yarrow
#

why on reset everytime ughhh

untold sand
#

Any decent money making guide or method?

green grail
#

cause maintenances are only on reset pepethink

#

craft and play the marketboard, there's no reliable guides cause if everyone uses the same method, it becomes extremely unlucrative due to overcrowding, undercutting etc @untold sand

untold sand
#

Well then i wonder how some players have several mil

obsidian patio
#

The start of new patches are extremely lucrative

#

I made ~12-14m on the first week of like 4.3 or 4.4 simply by reselling a ton of crafting and combat materia I scrounged up over time.

#

If I actually bothered with endgame crafting on the first week of patches I easily couldโ€™ve doubled that.

#

Furniture also sells very good whenever new housing wards are added

#

Since thereโ€™s a sudden spike in demand

agile laurel
#

that hadn't occured to me

potent lava
#

there a way to easily find all 100% spiritbound items you have?

obsidian patio
#

I swap between all my gearsets and look at the inventory dot UI and see if any have white dots (those mean items at 100%)

#

After that itโ€™s simply a case of remembering to extract whenever they hit 100%

sour slate
#

expert dungeons and raids give a certain % spiritbond per clear right?

obsidian patio
#

Not exactly

#

It also depends on the item level of your gear

sour slate
#

theres no way to buff with the spiritbond potion?

obsidian patio
#

If itโ€™s too high/below the content youโ€™re doing it simply doesnโ€™t bond, unless itโ€™s from 0% to 1% so it binds to you

sour slate
#

ahh

#

im mostly doing lvl 80 stuff

#

its like 5% per nm raid

#

forgot about expert

#

how much it gave

topaz cloud
#

So I still can't installed the game because I can't find a internet explorer version that will download to my Windows 10 operating system. Where can I find this archaic browser?

obsidian patio
#

Though I will say that Crystarium gear definitely bonds notably fast in the new dungeon, 24-man, and extreme trial

sour slate
#

oo

#

since lvl 80 dungeons dont give exp per kill tho, its only a set chunk of spiritbond rewarded at the end isnt it?

#

hmmm i dont think u would need Internet explorer just to dl the gamer

obsidian patio
#

I havenโ€™t done much sciencing on spiritbond since the 5.3 changes

#

Just noting whatโ€™s been bonding my gear

sour slate
#

ah ok

slim jackal
#

What are some Gil cost sinks later on in the game ?

gusty pasture
#

will I get veteran rewards if I play using timecards and not subscriptions?

green grail
#

yes

gusty pasture
#

so it counts towards "days subscribed?

green grail
#

yeah

sour slate
#

housing and glam are the gil sinks

obsidian patio
#

Repairs start to become a bit more expensive over time

sour slate
#

if u raid, raid food and crafted gear too

obsidian patio
#

Not exactly Gil sinks, as they go to other players

#

The tax on the marketboard would be a Gil sink, though

sour slate
#

ahh

gusty pasture
#

okay one last thing, I bought the CE 12 days ago so I still have 18 days of free play. should I sub now or wait til the free play time is over?

slim jackal
#

Ah. Ok. Iโ€™m just interested in raid and prob glam later on. Is the end game weapons obtainable only by looting it only right ?

green grail
#

put in a recruitment code before you add any paid sub to your account since that's the only time when you can get recruited @gusty pasture

sour slate
#

BIS sets can use a mix of tome gear and looted gear

obsidian patio
#

Odd patches add catch-up methods to make it easier to get near-endgame gear

green grail
#

but beyond that the automatic sub won't charge you till your current game time runs out, and game time card days will just get added to the current 18 days

sour slate
#

theres also crafted gear thats slightly lower ilvl but lets u catch up quick

gusty pasture
#

I am recruited by a friend

obsidian patio
#

Like upgrading the crafted gear to be equal in item level to the weekly tomestone gear (not upgraded)

gusty pasture
#

though I dont know where to get my gold feathers

slim jackal
#

Ah I see.

green grail
#

you get them in mail, but only when you sub i think

obsidian patio
#

You donโ€™t get gold feathers for being recruited

#

The recruiter does

green grail
#

oh yeah you get silver

gusty pasture
#

ahhh I see

#

what's silver?

green grail
#

silver feathers for free leveling gear

gusty pasture
#

oh damn I just finished HW I could have used that

green grail
#

i think you can buy up to scaevan gear with them? for level 70

marble drift
#

I think you can yeah

gusty pasture
#

whre do I get the silver feathers?

slim jackal
#

Is any of the gold feather stuff worth it ? Iโ€™m just wondering if I should make an account and buy a game on it to get rewards.

obsidian patio
#

You can get the โ€œrareโ€ dyes with them

silver ruin
#

mounts for 10/15 respectively

obsidian patio
#

Which are normally only from the mogstation or rarely from ventures/marketboard

green grail
#

i doubt it's worth the money though

obsidian patio
#

Do note that the amount of gold feathers you can get is currently limited

green grail
#

unless you're a whale or something

obsidian patio
#

So if you buy too many of the dyes you can lock yourself out of the mounts

#

But ignoring the mounts, pure white and jet black dye are best value for the feathers

#

Since those are usually very expensive on the marketboard. (Easily over 200k for some servers)

shell dagger
#

is it just me or is the level 60 RDM quest battle really difficult

#

failed it three times already. twice at normal difficulty, once at easy

green grail
#

what's your gear and weapon ilvl

analog gate
#

when he applies a debuff on you, did you heal yourself?

shell dagger
#

i know gear is part of it. but i just find it strange that other job quest battles even when you're not at the proper gear, they're still pretty straightforward

#

this one is a struggle

#

and yes, i did heal myself

analog gate
#

to full?

shell dagger
#

90%?

analog gate
#

this one specifically has some mechanics, the NPC told you about it

green grail
#

i mean if you're at like i130 you're gonna have issues with all level 60 job quests

analog gate
#

when the enemy attacks you and applies a debuff, heal yourself to full to avoid the vuln stack

shell dagger
#

i'm not at ilevel130 lol

#

i'm at 196

#

would suggest getting shire equipment (minimum weapon, body, leg)

Does 5.31 going to unlock eden savage?

what's the lowest item level equipment on you? (since that should be more like 260-270 at lv60)

eden savage is already out

For farm

sour slate

oh i see

marble drift

oh you mean remove the restrictions

probably not it's ishgard stuff

marble drift

generally to unlock something means to make it available

left moth
#

DesolaterX: don't know yet although it's likely since 5.3 itself was delayed (otherwise it would have been unlocked [drops wise] in 5.35)

shell dagger
#

the augmented idyllshire gear are between 240-270...

twilit arch
#

its possible, but we don't know for certain

leaden ginkgo
#

if I finish all of the anima weapons up to cronus lux on my DRK, can I start at the last steps for AST or do I need to work thourh all the weapons again?

topaz cloud
#

So I still can't installed the game because I can't find a internet explorer version that will download to my Windows 10 operating system. Where can I find this archaic browser?

twilit arch
#

you have to work thru the stages again on AST

leaden ginkgo
#

Can I pick the appearance to nab, or to I have to do it all consecutively again

#

So, how come it asks me which quest I want to repeat? Will it just not let me unless I have it on AST?

sour slate
#

im sure u dont need internet explorer

vocal star
#

@leaden ginkgo nope, grind its grind and you need to do it everytime again

left moth
#

2b: have to start from scratch for each weapon or its replicas

leaden ginkgo

Oki, thanks, time to buy lots of mats

#

Was capped on poetics and just wanted to know if I should dump it on mats

Don't be shy to drop by and ask more detailed question

ok i finally beat the RDM blond

But I can give you one very important "tip" : don't be afraid of making mistakes

topaz cloud
#

jd: internet explorer is used by the launcher, not as in using it as a browser. you can use edge/chrome/firefox/whatever to get the installer
@left moth but I've been told that the reason both times I've tried install it and it hasn't worked is because I don't have explorer

sour slate
#

what browser did u use?

gusty pasture
warped nest
#

No

twilit arch
#

no, you are always put at the top

topaz cloud
#

chrome first then edge @sour slate

warped nest
#

You will always on top

#

Then the rest is arranged to your preference

gusty pasture
#

ahh damn. It feel awkward since I'm currently trying out DPS and I got used to having my tank at the top

sour slate
#

hmm i just downloaded it fine on my chrome browser

warped nest
#

If you are playing DRG... What happen in the party list... Tbh, is really none of your business, most of the time

quasi vigil
#

@agile laurel thank you โœŒ๏ธ

warped nest
#

Side note, I am told that with default, the DPS are always arranged by melee, Ranged, and then mages.

topaz cloud
#

hmm i just downloaded it fine on my chrome browser
Oh then I must be having a unrelated problem

sour slate
#

is there any error message that pops up?

topaz cloud
#

ya

sour slate
#

whats it say?

topaz cloud
sour slate
#

o.o

topaz cloud
#

That's when installing with chrome

sour slate
#

hmm the window seems to be ffxiv launcher

topaz cloud
#

when I tried installing with edge it worked but when I went to open the launcher it came up with "unable to update patch files 11005"

#

it is the launcher yep

sour slate
#

i think its an issue with the launcher not the browser, but i dont really know whats wrong

#

can try clear cache or something

left moth
#

yeah unless are trying to "start" the installer from a temp folder (I'm lost)

#

Heartpiercer: no, you need access to ishgard (foundation) which is 50 minimum

violet star
#

can you get blue mage abilities from doing trials unsynced? is the chance of getting the spell 100%?

sour slate
#

" try empty out the Internet Explorer's cache - yes the game client uses IE for its web interface irregardless to your preferred browser."

#

wow

twilit arch
#

yes you can get them unsync, and no its not 100% if you do it unsync. Its 100% if you do it sync'd @violet star

sour slate
#

we actually need internet explorer after all?

violet star
#

does the party need to be only blue mages?

#

does it have to be the extreme fights?

twilit arch
#

depends on the spell

#

and no it doesn't have to be a full blue mage party

violet star
#

say whorleater

whole wasp
#

~~all ARR primals need extremes ~~except ifrit iirc

twilit arch
#

iirc can learn that in hard mode

#

no

whole wasp
#

ifrit can be done on normal

twilit arch
#

not all of them are extreme

topaz cloud
#

we actually need internet explorer after all?
I guess so which brings me back to the problem of the fact I can't find a way to install IE

twilit arch
#

mountain buster (titan's) is also in hard mode

#

so is ramuh's

#

only one afaik that's absolutely in ex is shiva's

whole wasp
#

garuda too

#

the rest can be done in hard mode except ifrit that can be done in normal mode

left moth
topaz cloud
#

oh ok hopefully this will won't

#

Thank you so much, I found it

sly vessel
#

how do i keep the bgm of the game on when im tabbed out?

agile laurel
#

top option in sound settings

#

just toggle it on

covert hazel
#

so i have a very old account since the game released on ps3, can i still use that account to convert it to PC? or i miss my chance ehen they allowed that years ago haha

glossy flare
#

afaik playstation and pc licences are seperate

left moth
#

should have been converted to a ps4 copy otherwise have to buy again for windows or mac license

glossy flare
#

yeah, you're probably fine on ps4 but not on pc

covert hazel
#

so i missed my chsnce theb

#

i wanna play on pc

glossy flare
#

well on the bright side, levelling is super fast now ๐Ÿ˜…

covert hazel
#

the o ly thing i am missing is my warruor of light helmet and that awesome lion mount, its the onky reason i bought the collectore back in days

#

are those still avilable to get now a days?

glossy flare
#

I think you still get the warrior of light helmet with the deluxe edition (or whatever it is called)

left moth
#

the veteran rewards have been converted into achievement certaficates, well most of them

covert hazel
#

what vetran rewards

#

as ya all said i missed my chance to convert my account

vital ruin
#

How do I get Erudite's Picatrix of Casting without buying it
Cos it costs over 35k on the market board

obsidian patio
#

Craft it yourself

#

Level 50 alchemist

vital ruin
#

Level 50 MiqoteDepressed

#

Wait

#

I'm 58

#

Don't I need a crafter at 50

obsidian patio
#

I just said that

twilit arch
#

as wynne said, you need to be a lvl 50 alchemist

gusty pasture
#

does fantasia ever go on sale?

vital ruin
#

O right alchemist

twilit arch
#

Yes, Sovereign

glossy flare
#

@covert hazel Yeah I just checked, the collector's edition includes the warrior of light helmet

vital ruin
#

I'll just ignore that quest for now

glossy flare
#

but not the lion mount

twilit arch
#

there was a big mogstation sale like a month or so ago

covert hazel
#

damn

#

is that lion mount gone foreever?

left moth
#

for subscription time (squall jacket and the like). collectors editions can be freely upograded to (although no physical goodies). preorder bonus items can't get

covert hazel
#

also the game dont have monthly sub right, you just buy the gameand the expansions are for frre??

twilit arch
#

not sure what lion mount you're talking about, but the ones i am thinking of are still very much available

#

no you have to buy the expansions

#

they are not free

glossy flare
#

Well there definitely are some lion mounts ingame, yeah

twilit arch
#

and yes the game does have a monthly sub

covert hazel
#

are the game free to try for start? i woukd like to hsve fun aroynd charcster coustmazation

glossy flare
#

yeah you can get a trial account

#

which includes all ARR and Heavensward content

covert hazel
#

cool, i wanna create some of thkse new races and check them out

#

will check tgus trial account on their site and see how it goes

#

hope the game is not big space lol

#

how is the steam version of the game

glossy flare
#

about 50 gb iirc

covert hazel
#

is it recomnded?

glossy flare
#

well apparently the steam trial client and the actual game client are a bit different so you'd have to redownload once you upgrade

twilit arch
#

steam version is no different from the one you get from SE. only thing to note is that if you buy from steam you're locked into steam for any and all future purchases

glossy flare
#

but other than that it's down to your personal preference

left moth
#

steam version usually isn't recommended since less sales on expansions, and are locked to steam as a platform for expansions. the launcher is 100% the same, the service account isn't

covert hazel
#

ooh

#

but either way everything the same and released on same day

left moth
#

there also have been bugs in the past where people would think their accounts are locked when trying to play from a shortcut on desktop and not launching from steam

twilit arch
#

yes, servers aren't seperated by platform

#

steam, non steam pc, and ps4 all play on the same servers

#

everyone goes thru mogstation for account managment

gusty pasture
#

is there crossplay?

#

if they are all on the same servers?

karmic niche
#

yea

whole wasp
#

on the other hand, steam wallet is a thing so people who love steam wallet definitely uses steam

covert hazel
#

do i just click on the download demo version that come with traial versiob on the go in steam

karmic niche
#

you won't notice it haha

covert hazel
#

or i need to do something first

gusty pasture
#

oh really? Cool cool I never did notice haha

whole wasp
#

everybody is on the same server regardless of platform

glossy flare
#

you can even play with a gamepad on pc

#

the client is exactly the same on all platforms

#

random question: what's the GNB mount?

#

do they even have one? ๐Ÿค”

marble drift
#

a lion iirc?

twilit arch
#

a panther

marble drift
#

I thought that was DRK?

glossy flare
#

no, lion is pld and panther is drk

twilit arch
#

er no

#

its sabertooth

glossy flare
#

oh I see

#

I need that.

#

why only tanks get a mount is beyond me but hey

left moth
#

war tiger (second one has questionable fashion armor plating. just like the other tier 2 tank mounts)

glossy flare
#

those are some big teeth

twilit arch
#

armored version

Honestly, that looks way better than the DRK one

like some countries are listed under EU yes, but there are a few weird ones that are put under NA

one last quwstion, as of now is the game simple and strightforward let says...like world of warcraft or its packs way too much stuffs and items

you'll have to create a mogstation account regardless I think
@glossy flare alongside eu square enix one or no need??

plain python

does desynth dungeon gear give you anything nice, or I should just turn them for GC seals?

your mogstation account is something different from your SE account

I can't really comment on the wow comparison so I'm not sure what you mean ๐Ÿค”

left moth
#

iceda: if anything the game defaults to hand holding for a long time assuming it's baby's first mmo. there's a ton of items and content available but nothing is really forced outside msq (cough crystal tower looking at you). most of the issue I've had playing is resisting the urge to pack rat everything

glossy flare
#

There definitely is a lot of content for a lot of target audiences. From casual to hardcore to feeding our glamour addiction

covert hazel
#

i see

#

i asks cause asians mmo tendd to have way to much systems mechanics and tons of items for every single minor thing

#

way too much it should be

as a german/eu starting player in around 1 weeks .. is there a better data center to go in, our both EUs are fine? anyone know? ๐Ÿ˜„

I know I hate the way item storage works in this game, but that may just be personal preference. (I mean retainers and the somewhat weird systems attached to them)

either one is fine but light has a bigger german population due to shiva being the unofficial german server @outer pilot

@outer pilot in terms of latency both are fine, just be sure to pick the one where your friends are

majority of items (for crafting) are expansion contained. food buff wise most people just focus on end game stuff and not worry (unless doing challenge runs)

#

how do i get the trial account code

#

i tried downloading the demo version on steam, but it asks me fkr agame regstration code

#

i need ro nake SE account to get a code?

green grail
#

you need to make a SE account either way

#

but if you register through the trial launcher it should just let you through and flag you as a trial player

#

so it won't be asking for a code

covert hazel
#

that doee not deem the case in steam?

#

i thought the demo version is a one to go package

green grail
#

you need a SE account when playing on steam too, like a lot of steam mmos

#

not all of them have steam accounts integrated into their user databases or whatever

#

your steam account is just connected to your SE account i think, so you're able to pay for sub with steam wallet etc

covert hazel
#

i see

#

imma trying log in in SE site and check if i can get a code

green grail
#

i mean there's no such thing as a "free trial code"

#

if its asking you for a registration code then it means the starter edition code, which is the paid base game

covert hazel
#

some told me tgere is trial account thingu

#

the hoe do i try the game for free for some time now

right

But also I'm not too sure

would go with whatever is the most fun to play (relatively speaking). if it's unlockerd can fool around in palace of the dead or heaven on high (as long as there's an understanding that one does not seriously learn in potd/hoh)

yeah potd doesn't let you do rotations

I was advised in this Discord that if I wanted to do Coil of Bahamut, I should do it unsynced and ask for help in /s in a crowded area (free trial).
Iโ€™ve done some advertising on several occasions over the past few days but havent been able to find someone to help me yet - am I doing it wrong? Should I instead approach people personally?

marble drift
#

Absolutely not. If no-ones willing to do it with you then I'd advise coming back to it once you've hit 80

#

maybe join and FC, make a few friends and take them

simple shore
#

You missed the problem.

#

(free trial)

marble drift
#

I mean I was getting to that

simple shore
#

You shouldnt bother trying to do that stuff at all unless you see a PF up for it

#

Well, i mean, "maybe join and FC" - he cant do that by definition.

marble drift
#

right but he'd then try to figure out how to join an FC and that would require purchase. solving both

fallow juniper
#

I didnt think of keeping an eye out on PF

#

I cant recruit on free trial but can I request to join one though

#

?

simple shore
#

You can join PF's, you just cant create PF's

What can i get in savage eden (other than gear) ? I heard theres a 4seat mount in e4s, anything else?

fallow juniper
#

Right, thanks!

green grail
#

another mount in e8s, plus upgrade mats for tome gear

cedar compass
#

how do yo find elite marks?

marble drift
#

Generally people do Savage modes for the challenge

green grail
#

A ranks respawn on a long timer, S ranks have secret spawn conditions that are different for each zone so groups of devoted hunters usually spawn them when they're available, and B ranks just hang around the zone, they respawn seconds after being killed in another part of the map @cedar compass

#

Is product advertisement allowed in game?

simple shore
#

Elaborate

marble drift
#

For in game products? like amror you've made

#

yes

kind eagle
#

no one doing fulmination

leaden ginkgo
#

Second time I see some serious ads from players

marble drift
#

for anything else? no

green grail
#

RMT is RMT, and RMT is against terms of service

leaden ginkgo
#

For Nvidia cards and cola

simple shore
#

lolwut

marble drift
#

Ok thats a new one

simple shore
#

I've never seen that

marble drift
#

I've not seen that

simple shore
#

You sure you're not just getting trolled?

kind eagle
#

can yall help indentifying the outfit

leaden ginkgo
#

I was running some fates, a guy advertising Nvidia on shout

green grail
leaden ginkgo
#

The cola one was probably just a troll I met in dungeon duty

cedar compass
#

@green grail do i need to check all spawning locations?

green grail
#

probably yeah

#

google a map of the B rank spawns and just fly around

tender merlin
#

would astrologian be okay for a first timer healer?

thorn mantle
#

where do i turn in Rarefied Chirashi-zushi? i cant seem to find it in the collectible appraiser in gridania

twilit arch
#

collectable appraiser in gridania is outside of the markets

thorn mantle
#

nvm, it probably had to update, changed zones and it popped up

tender merlin
#

so im trying to research relic weapons as they look insanely cool and so far from the really old youtube videos and forum posts i've read basically relic weapons are cut into several quest chains per expansion pack?

marble drift
#

well its 1 chain per expansion

tender merlin
#

they're mostly for glamour as their stats are often out-numbered through out the heavensward weapons

#

am i correct?

twilit arch
#

All of the previous relic weapons are just for glamour at this point

glad comet
#

glamour

twilit arch
#

ShB relic is a decent starting weapon, plus its only got one stage right now and its a very easy to get

glad comet
#

be warned, some of the relic weapons take a long time to get your hands on

#

It's recommended to be at level 80 to start getting them

tender merlin
#

unfortunately im a free player, so i think ill focus on ARR/HW relics for now for aesthetic reason

twilit arch
#

i wouldn't recommend bothering with ARR relic as a trial user, tbh

tender merlin
#

is there an equivalent of relic weapons to armors? like glowing armors that look just as cool as relics weapons

twilit arch
#

unless you are gonna level crafters

#

not really

#

There's a crafted set in ARR that has a glowing version and a set in stormblood called the elemental set

tender merlin
#

i understand but i think i just might get a few relic for classes i like, as i really love the aesthetic that relic weapons have even for ARR

twilit arch
#

but in general, glowing armour isn't really a thing

tender merlin
#

sorry just for clarity for my notes, by set you mean armors right?

twilit arch
#

yes

tender merlin
#

may i know the name of these glowing set? plus is there glowing set per class?

twilit arch
#

Augmented Cashmere of Healing/Casting, Augmented heavy/wolfram, Augmented saurian

tender merlin
#

okay so i just researched even further and it seems like the relic weapons from shadow bringers are just further upgraded versions of those of from ARR?

twilit arch
#

no

#

the relics are not connected to each other

tender merlin
#

hmm i need to research more to find out what the relic weapons in ARR look like

twilit arch
#

having a completed zeta (arr relic) lets you skip the first step on the anima (heavensward) but its not worth doing just for that

tender merlin
#

i can't seem to find any pictures, even from those relic posts from 7 years ago

marble drift
#

searching for "zodiac" weaponry may help

tender merlin
#

thank you for helping though, i think i get a gist of it, ill look into the glowy sets you said

#

oh okay thanks silverhand ill look into it

twilit arch
tender merlin
#

thats for level 50 until 80 right?

twilit arch
#

no

#

relic weapons are for lvl 50, and at best can last you til 55 or so

tender merlin
#

im confused what is ilvl is that different from your level

twilit arch
#

ilvl is basically like the "power" of the gear in regards to the gear of that lvl range

tender merlin
#

ohh so for heavensward there is another relic weapon which is named differently but with the same concept as it gets upgraded and gets visually better

twilit arch
#

So both ilvl 80 and ilvl 135 are level 50 weapons

#

the ilvl 80 weapon is weaker than ilvl 135

tender merlin
#

ohhh thank you that actually makes sense

twilit arch
#

yes

#

heavensward's relic is called "Anima"

tender merlin
#

so for level 50 relic, it is known as a zodiac

#

heavens is anima

twilit arch
#

yep

tender merlin
#

what is for the next two expansion?

twilit arch
#

stormblood is eureka

#

and shadowbringers is resistance

tender merlin
#

last question, sorry if its too much, does maxing the zodiac weapon give any advances to the next relic weapon, the anima?

twilit arch
#

It only lets you skip the first step for anima

#

which is not worth making a zeta (final stage of zodiac) for

tender merlin
#

oh that is actually really neat, although i understand that in terms of frustration which can come from completeing the stages, i just cant pass out the aesthetic that the final zodiac weapons have, like my goodness they look so cool

narrow vale
#

How do I get Deathbringer for Dark Knight? I looked it up but doesnโ€™t say much

tender merlin
#

also black mage zeta weapon looks like it can eat my soul

twilit arch
#

Deathbringer is bought with centurio seals in ishgard

#

can also get a version of it from the first few steps of Anima, the lvl 60 relic weapon

tender merlin
#

thanks for the help kaelwyrn, im going to start doing some zodiac quests now, cheers!

narrow vale
#

How do I hunt? I clicked on Hunt board but it doesnโ€™t let me hunt. The Ishgard Centurio member dude doesnโ€™t let me interact with him

twilit arch
#

you need to be 2nd Lieutenant in your grand company, and unlock the ARR hunts first before you can unlock centurio seals

#

quest at your grand company is called "Let the Hunt Begin!"

once you've done that, there should be a quest in ishgard called "Let the Clan Hunt Begin!"

there's a couple more quests to unlock the higher hunt bills, most of them are gonna be in ishgard from the same person with one of them in idyllshire

How does PLD anima work? Do you get the sw+sh as a package at every step?

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm just finishing off ARR before starting Heavenward and I'm getting quests that give me poetic tombstones as rewards. What should I do with them? Save them until I hit 80 or spend them on whatever?

oak ice
#

They'll for the most part be spent on gear st levels 50, 60 and 70

#

In Mor Dhona there are a couple NPCs up the hill you can buy i130 gear from

leaden ginkgo
#

Right so I should actively use them to gear up? Instead of waiting to get upgraded pieces as quest rewards?

oak ice
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Thabks

oak ice
#

The game will vomit poetics at you

#

And they are the best pieces that you can reasonably aquire at old expansion level caps

how much skillspeed should i have as paladin?

Hover over a skill, yes

#

obsidian wren
#

Ah then don't worry about stats too much

#

Just go for ilvl

oak ice
#

Yeah, if you're not 80, just grab the highest gear pieces and suffer

You can change Grand Companies every 15 days once you are Second Lieutenant in that GC. (1st time is free, after that it costs 50.000 gil to transfer)

#

What can i do with GIL in free trial?

glad bobcat
#

Free trial player, just came in a couple of weeks ago. How worth it is to do DOH/DOL, I don't mind the grind but farming crystal shard is too much of a pain. Should I just skip it till im ready to jump in to a subscription?

sharp spire
#

should i be doing guildleves or ignore it as well

glossy flare
#

What can i do with GIL in free trial?
@K.M.โ„ข#8364 buy stuff from vendors

twilit arch
#

you can skip guildleves

wispy parcel
#

there honestly isnt much you can do with gil in the free trial

glossy flare
#

they are nice for really low level jobs to get them to lvl 15 (though the hunting log does most of that better) but after that dungeons just provide more xp

sharp spire
#

do i need to change gears? i don't like how the gears you get from quets are ugly

glossy flare
#

you can glamour your gear to make it look like some equipment you like

past lantern
#

If I want to do Namazu tribe quests... can I just be like lvl 60 miner and do them? or does it require an actual crafting job?

glossy flare
#

but that is unlocked through a quest

sharp spire
#

what level? and does it cost a lot

twilit arch
#

yes, namazu can be done as either crafter or gatherer

past lantern
#

Thank you, Kael.

glossy flare
#

lvl 15 iirc

#

and it costs glamour prisms, which are fairly cheap to come by though

twilit arch
#

its a lvl 15 quest, in vesper bay.

sharp spire
#

what are these bluequest ? should i skip them?

twilit arch
#

glamour prisms are pretty easy to come by, especially if you're atleast sergeant second class in your grand company

#

no, most of those should not be skipped

glossy flare
#

those blue quests unlock new stuff

#

never skip them

twilit arch
#

they unlocked stuff. the main ones you can ignore are "So you want to be X" (these are class unlocks) Or "Levemete of X" (leves generally aren't that great for combat jobs, and can unlock them later anyway)

glossy flare
#

in fact the quest to unlock glamours will be one of those

sharp spire
#

i see

leaden ginkgo
#

around when can i expect aesthete gear price drop?
