Depends where you live
Aether/Primal/Crystal in NA
Chaos/Light in EU
any of the other 3 in JP or Oceania
What is the difference in Chaos and Light?
Nothing really
Not much, Chaos has the majority frenchies and Light has the majority germans
I dont speak any of these 2 languages Q_Q
Pick your poison
Then pick either
Majority is still english
Yes, I should have clarified that, most people you meet still speak English
I want to say 100%, but just like soap, I can only guarantee 99%
π
but it may still be a better fit for me than FF14 has been
What is the best world to join?
Dodge Shiva if you don't speak German, Moogle if you don't speak French, other than that it doesn't matter
Anything but Moogle or Shiva, since those are the unofficial French and German servers
I think Omega had a lot of RP
They tried becoming the official rp server, but that didn't amount to much
@vivid thorn not the same kind of game.
Please just play the game instead of being so apprehensive for now reason
precisely why I harbor some hope FF15 may be a better fit: it's different enough to approach it freshly
Again 15 already exists, its a single player JRPG
Like the majority of FF games
11 and 14 are the only MMOs
I'd never want to touch 11 after my bad experiences of 14
why are you on this server?
11 is a very different game
how is 11 different from 14 then?
Like more traditional MMO
And very old
more traditional and also yes, very old in terms of graphics, game design and well... everything else
Leaving towns without a party in 11 is death
Overworls mobs are very strong amd will end you
youtube is your best friend to compare the games
if you're not a fan or didn't play it back then, you won't like it
Basically eureka but the whole game is eureka
would be like discovering the first Baldur's Gate right now
Except Eureka is fun ... :p
if you happen to like the grind π
But you get super perty shiny armor from it
11 is fantastic but it requires much more patience
11 you just get ... moar grind
And interacting with people
well yes the rewards are great but the way there feels like work
but I am very anti grind so I'm biased
Use them up and toss excess
This is decidedly not really a conversation to be had in this channel
true
That to
But I wouldn't count on it
Ohhh well, didn't know if there was something else to do with the exception of using them π
Thanks guys
Is there a spreadsheet or anything that has most of the item locations in game? I'm trying to put together a wishlist web app so I can track what I can get on a single visit to say the East Shroud
Relic Wep Question: Do you have to do the entire questline every time you want a new one for a diff class?
@warm snow you can use teamcraft to create a list, not sure if that would be what youre looking for
@granite swan yes
k
kinda
was hoping for a resource I could use to develop my own tool
but this definitely helps a lot
@granite swan For the level 80 ones, no.
I mean you do restart from the point they ask for
Well i know 80 one is just 1k poetics, but wasnt sure if you could skip steps for previous ones if you already completed it once
The only skip that exists is using your Zodiac weapon to skip step 1 of your anima
ah
if I have two retainers, can I sell double the amount of items on markets?
if I have two retainers, can I sell double the amount of items on markets?
@quasi spire Yes
whats the minimum stats i need?
each retainer can sell 20 thngs so i guess yes
Each retainer has a cap of 20 items they can sell at once
@ember goblet the non expert recipe difficulty hasn't changed so if has no problems with bulk crafting you're already set for new grade 3's
expert recipes are mean unless you have over/pentamelded 490 set
The expert one is a tad harder now
To compensate it gives more score and more scrips, tho
if i join a party can i still do msq without disbanding?
As long as you don't get to a solo duty
Only overworld stuff. Solo instances need to be entered alone
oki
You know those shiny portals that take you to a random place with enemies?
Yeah, the ones that sync you
a solo instance (story related) whicg usually syncs you down to the level of msq or whatever quest it's on. the npc will have a blue glow on the ground to signal the instance
when was daily reset again? or is level quests on 24h cooldown as u do them?
was using 460 crafted gear xd
Quick general question: the stats in your character screen are those before or after food?
after that i have to ask sommeone again to invite me to a party right?
@warm snow they update if you consume food that increases the stats
stat screen will reflect food
Same with using skills
Okay cool
What is the reason to reset desynth skill?
whats the difference between the home point, free location and favored location?
free is ... free and favored is cheaper
Favoured is half cost
free one also requires OTP i think?
Yes
wait so its free as is or is there a cooldown?
Free as is
so i should prolly use free destrination where my gc is, home destination where im patrolling and any recommended stuff for favored desrination?
Places you go often
Oh nice. Level50 gives you argute full set. I'm assuming they will give more sets every 5-10 levels?
quarrymill it is then
Job quests give you entry level gear each level cap past 50
Ty
Where do you get Approved Grade 3 Skybuilders Umbral Magma Shard in the restoration, I can't find it for the life of me
Green mats are all from random timed nodes
Need fire weather inside the diadem
And is it in random nodes ?
yeah to astral or umbral weather for btn or mining
what do red names in "owner" under the residential aetheryte menu signify?
Means you cant go into their houses as they are locked
is there any site that shows MB prices between worlds?
Green means its open to the public
trying to buy a full set of gear (like 10 items) and seeing if theres a simple way rather than going to all the worlds searching 10 items and figuring out which one is cheapest like that
I use https://mogboard.com/
Final Fantasy XIV Online: Market Boards. Find Prices, track Item History and create Price Alerts. Anywhere, anytime.
can u give ur retainers a crafting class?
That too
Its a third party run site that just compares the market board prices of items per server
Its updated more quickly then the kupo bot cmd
can u give ur retainers a crafting class?
@untold sand no
anyone know how often kupbot updates
anyone know if free trail also lets you play those mqs like a realm awoken and the extra patches
pretty sure it's whenever someone with a certain plugin installed looks at the item you're searching for
Does retainer fantasia persist through logins? I drank one like a few days back, can I still redeem it for a retainer appearance change?
thanks vinyl thats a lot of content
also am i okay if i skip all the text from mqs except when there is a cutscene?
No
is the yo-kai watch event over?
what do i miss
Yo-kai watch event will last until 5.4, so at least another couple of months
Like 70-80% of the story
i was only watching the non voice and voiced cutscenes

can someone give me some ideas of what to do after finishing msq?
Depends on what you're interested in @drifting burrow
Eureka, Relic Weps, Raids, HoH/PoTD ... tons of stuff
but that's only fun with friends 
You can go unlock endgame content (YorHa raid, Eden raid, extra dungeons), farm gear, level alt jobs, do crafting.
Etc, etc.
unsub until the next MSQ update also if you only want story ;p
Also an option, yes.
cmon, 4 more minutes and i can que for Naptime With Cid
^
not when you go in
ah
anyone knowswhats the gil limit for free users?
300k
cant buy a house right?
Correct
Quick synopsis of that quest?
guys how do i turn off the skill visualizations for everyone
i cant see anything in battles
Can anyone help me how to fix error for downloading ffxiv patch files i'm having problem with this errors
any idea how often new crafting gear gets added to the game? or roughly how long before it comes
@trail mulch There's a setting option in... I think Display settings under the General tab to turn off combat effects.
Aethese is the last Crafted gear...white scrip gear is added next patch but wont be better than Aethese
π For 5.3.1, I see Eden Savage loot restrictions have been removed - I don't see any exceptions, but just wanted a sanity check before I updated my Daily/Weekly Checklist Guide.
Ah. You've still got a bit to go @heady orbit Probably... 6 hours of quests + cutscenes?
doing the zodiac weapon quest with the 9 books atm.. I'm being sent to the tam tara deepcroft. is it assumed I need the level 50 version, or will either suffice for the challenge entry?
@heady orbit 42-43 quests till HW
Its all freely farmable
Ty π
Omg my head
It used to be worse.
Why they make so many lvl 50 quest
It used to be so much worse.
No one?
And the quests used to be so much more pointless.
Thats the start is 2.4, you still got 2.5 and 2.55
@trail mulch There's a setting option in... I think Display settings under the General tab to turn off combat effects.
@open coral which do i click to get the display settings
Character config
@trail mulch Character Config -> Control Settings -> Character
@heady orbit 2.1-2.3 they just added quests with reckless abandon cause they had no plan. 2.4 and 2.5 set up the events of HW
@trail mulch Character Config -> Control Settings -> Character
@granite swan got it thanks!
Quick reminder - what is the current loot lockout for Puppets' Bunker? 1 piece of gear, 2 clusters, 1 coin?
Yes
it was getting rly distracting in the bigger party battles where i wouldnt even be able to target properly
Is that new hairstyle male only ?
@trail mulch Also chat command for it
No
Whats the new hairstyle called?
Hair styles are both genders
and how do you get it ?
@trail mulch Also chat command for it
@granite swan whats the cmd for it?
eden savage is off the weekly limit now right?
nier still on limit tho right?
Yes
Thats removed in 5.4
@trail mulch /bfa self simple for example

do u need to do a quest to unlock ironworks armor?
No, just complete Ultimate weapon
so if i wanted for other people, would i need to do sth like bfa others simple
ya i think its Self/Party/Other and None/Simple/All ?
they are making me pay 8 euro for the ironworks engineer armor according to wiki
tf
per piece
oh the glamour stuff?
the only mount i can get from the yokai event for free is the ghost right?
Yes
um this things set i thought it was actual armor
So you cant get the last
Good point
i want the jibayian is that the last one?
oof fair enough
anyone know which ironworks gear that is as similar to the glamour one?
I have 10k company seals. Why should I buy with them? o.o
Promotions
OH ok
This is gonna be a weird question, so I started playing recently and I have a character that has leveled: 67 on dancer, 54 on machinist, and 60 on summoner/scholar. My server just got the road to 70 buff, would it be faster to try and level an alt or stick with what I have?
Thanks for the answer, Iβll stick with what I have then. βΊοΈ
Updated for 5.31 - thanks for the sanity checks @faint flare 
Why does no one ever mention the 15 free days for hitting 30 on pref server >.>
hi all, from 5.31 onwards, does it means if we run multiple times of e5s, every single time it will have 2 coffers, amd it will always drop 1 page for each run ?
No thats gonna be in 5.4 when the next raid tier drops
Isnt is usually the next big patch or am I crazy
@faint flare tks....so the abv points are accurate? 2 coffers + 1 page?
Yes
I think somoene said it was early since 5.3 was delayed
It was this patch sora
ok tks alot!
Ahh yea thats true
Help, I don't understand why the game tells me my character needs to have 90 days played before transfering, I already lost the road to 70 buff because the time ran out, why doesn't it let me transfer?
Losing road to 70 doesnt mean you played for 90 days
It means you hit stormblood and played for a week
You can see your number of days played on the character selection screen.
At the bottom right corner.
Up to a point, at least.
Anybody else having problems with ACT working after the patch?
Losing road to 70 doesnt mean you played for 90 days
@wispy parcel I thought you lost the road to 70 after 90 days...
There's a really old account that's using my email and I have no access to it at all, and I can't access support as that requires me to have an account which I can't make because my email is in use, what do i do?
Anybody else having problems with ACT working after the patch?
@zenith hound That's normal. It should be back up again in probably about 6 or 7 hours.
does Custom Deliveries npc have some type of vendor to buy rewards like the beast tribe?
Road to 70 sticks around for 90 or when the server loses preferred status, whichever is longer
Where is the status effect in a single bar setting?
I've been looking but can't find it
It's split in 3
@wispy parcel so is it 90 days of my playtime or 90 days passed since character creation?
Character creation
That's weird, I created this character around March...
its been 5 months since March so thats more then 90 days
Are the rewards from eden savage weekly?
Not anymore
that means you can grind the fucking shit out of savage if you could?
what is a good server to be on for crystal
Whats the best way to lvl 35 and upwards, making my first alt
!faq altlvlguide
@gusty siren All of them are good, Id just avoid Balmung
Its the RP server
i'm not paying $18 for a transfer if i can do it for free
Theres no free transfers atm i dont think
I see a lot of people going to Byrnhilder
There's some congested servers
Yeah, free transfers would only be from congested worlds to preferred ones.
They added some
or standard
ah
Crap Diabolos lost its pref status Q_Q
so did coeurl
guess its a sign i better start leveling alts before i lose my double xp lol
so the exp boost is on preferred
i dont think you get it with a transfer tho, only new char? but maybe im wrong
i'm still on my first char lmao
Yes
nice
do i need to pay 50 ventures for each retainer to get a class?
Wait does the ARR summoner relic weapon has only one crystal
That's it?
What happened to all the glowy thingies
Relic glows changes depending on the step
Wym
@deft quiver wheeee did u find that note?
There's more than just what you did
im kinda lost on lodestone
So I was planning to get the aug crys pants from allegory this week, but I got the yorha pants. (Wearing normal neo ish rn.) Should I deprioritize pants now until I get everything else to 490/500, or get the aug crys pants anyway?
lol
how is the new hairstyle called?
Huh
Alot more grindier steps
still do i need to pay the retainer item at retainer management once? or per retainer?
I just did like 6-7 dungeons for this shit wym more

Relics arent just 1 quest
Its a long, grindy quest chain
Thus why alot of people say do it at cap
So you can solo it
Does it like get upgraded or something later on
Steps?
Like progressions?
Quest steps
So next relic is in heavensward?

8 entire steps for ARR Relic Wep
considerin i have to pay like 200x50= 10000 seals worth of ventures to the retainer npc to get a class i hope i only have to pay it once
I don't hate myself enough to do fate grinding
You're finished when you've reached the Zodiac
@untold sand once per retainer you want to have a job
so no repay for the retainer if i wanna change?
Grand company
hunt earth elementals
10000 per retainer sound like a ton
I did got none :/
Gather them
Hey guys I been mainly playing with Summoner but as im nearing the end of Heavensward I don't really like the low mobility of it. What's another DPS class that has good mobility, im thinking Mechanist
bard or dancer is OK
Wym low mobily, 70% of your rotation is instant cast
ranged attacks and no cast times
I can't find prisms in Grand company 
I'm storm corporal
higher

you need like the top rank of the 2nd block
i need the third last rank in grand company to even get the bloody apartment?
idk i just feel like the summoner rotation is really complicated compared to my dark knight class and im not as interested in it tbh
you can always buy prisms off market they're pretty cheap
Market board it is then
or craft one with DoH
Gonna buy earth crystals
yeah summoner is a lot of cooldowns to manage
oh i thought Tahmeed was free trial :p
I bought ze game 
ah
How many for 20k tho?
should i go with augmented crystal weapons or 80 relic weapons
Mats for relics tend to be expensive
you'd be set for a very long time lol
I'll buy it
wait
Augmented Allegory is far superior than relics
@lilac flume agumented crystal weapons
20k for prism or crystals?
My 20kk goneee just like that :'(
Crystals
Fuck ya I just made my first glamour prisms :D
grats :p
Is there any for on in game mentor type feature?
How can I load appearance data on retainer fantasia?
@vital ruin could search it on mb to check its price
@vital ruin If you're on trial, I recommend using it or if already possessing, throw it away. Without the additional inventory retainers have, your inventory will get very cluttered very fast.
Uh
oh yeah I assumed you can't check bc you're on trial
Take it that's a no?
What does the scroll even do
unlocks music in the jukebox in your inn room
@leaden ginkgo there is a mentor system in game, no idea about it tho
Which of the two jobs is easier to play, Dancer or Red Mage? For reference, my only DPS experience is Dragoon and I find it really difficult to play and spend most of my time looking at my hotbars due to having to alternate between fang and claw combo and wheeling thrust combo
Dancer
Modgardsormr sits on my shoulderrr omgg
Literally just press the glowy button
I'm also just about to start Stormblood so I don't have access to any 60+ abilities
And dance om cooldown
does having sps on smn fuck up my rotation by chance?
Dancer is mainly support tho
@vital ruin You can check price on MB, no point tryin for 1m if its going for like 2k on there
What's mb
Market Board
I wanted to try out Dancer too. That's why I was asking if there was like a mentor system
That's alright, I want to try a job that isn't focused generally on close quarters. Im new to the game and I've spent all of heavensward as a DRK
okay this game seriously cant math at all o.O
um how much does a basic thavnairian bustier goin for?
got a drop
lol
didnt know it was that rare
lol
I tried a bit of GNB too and I wanted to try something the fights from afar but i dont want to level from 1 so I decided between dancer and Red mage whichever is easier
Dancer
Is it a good idea to build crit and spell speed on BLM?
Yes
It sells for 145 bucks are you kidding meee
Both are liked. Sps moreso
So much for 1 mil 
When i know i reach 2.4 on msq?
why are items like toadskin ring being sold for 13k+ on mb when they cost trivial amounts from regular shopkeeps?
the quest you mentioned earlier was the 1st quest in 2.4
@quasi spire either to scam unsuspecting people,
or to get money over to someone w/o anyone noticing
or they're used in a quest or smth
it's in the leatherworker 32 mission
is it just me or should there be an item to summon retainers anywhere?
would kinda like that
so probably people being lazy and just going to mb instead of shopkeep?
There's summoning bells in all major cities and endgame hubs
can ast skills that require being in diurnal/nocturnal sect still be used during Neutral sect?
would settle for a summoning bell near every aetheryte
during neutral sect you're basically in both
get one for your home
The aspected spells get both benefits
I'm just wary because of wording XD
Too used to playing YGO and such
so all those buffs and such, like collective unconscious, activate both additional affects?
btw I have a bunch of gear coffers I don't need (white oak, which is worse than scaevan), should I just open them and sell on mb?
Yes
no, only aspected helios and aspected benefic, as the neutral sect tooltip says @latent sluice
well, that's what I was asking
like only those two, but is there any real affect if you use celestial opposition, for instance? does it prioritize one over the other?
What's a dps class you would recommend for a new player?
Red Mage and Dancer are definitely the easiest DPS
If you're brand new without another class I'd say Lancer or Archer
Not sure I'd be able to get in a rotation for 2 min like a Summon for example haha
Dancer is basically, do your 1-2 combo, use dances on cooldown, press the glowy button
Red Mage is bring up your black and white mana, then spend it all on a melee burst combo, repeat
if you use opposition or collective unconscious or intersection you get the effect of the sect you have passively on, neutral sect only affects asp helios and asp benefic, like the tooltip tells you @latent sluice
for least amount of mechanics, I would personally say smn or blm
it's mainly just upkeep
if you have diurnal then CO is regen, if you have nocturnal CO is shield
okay. Thanks for the clarification ^^
Neutral Sect doesn't overwrite Diurnal/Nocturnal, just adds on top
BLM has a different rotation every few levels so not sure about that
SMN gets crazy at higher levels but you slowly get more of your kit so you have time to get used to it
is there a way to customize the harp of bards? or is it bow only?
bow only
The one they use during songs? no
You got harp for most things, trumpet for blowing instrumets, and kongos for drums
inb4 music nerd comes and corrects me
bongos* and i'm not a music nerd* but yes
blowing instruments
is the free trial level cap on crafting as well?
how many things can i store in the armoire?
which classes use scouting and aiming gear? and RDM uses casting right?
scouting is ninja
okay tring out both dancer and red mage right now
What is Verfire ready and Verstone ready?
!faq 50rdm
You dont
it's not
You dualcast them
stone and fire are short
You only hardcast Long spells if you have a countdown timer
Remember a good red mage gloats IRL when you turn a Wipe into a Win cause the healers were to busy dpsing to move out of the orange :p
just dont do it in game >.>
When and where do I unlock the next relic quest
Im liking RDM now a lot better than DNC
for which relic
Summoner
so uh, im currently level 50, what rotation would you guys recommend?
which relic
I got the arr relic
what quest are you on
Msq?
Im currently doing jolt-verthunder-verfire-veraero then jolt-veraero-verstone-verthunder
Which lvl relic we meant
I just did the level 50 relic and was wondering whens the next
Lemme start the game
Its priority based
AHHH I see so it needs the gauge to have reds in it alright
@vital ruin if you finished the entire arr relic the lvl 60 one is in idyllshire
You do the one for the lower mana basically
what are some good things to spend company seals on?
He probably only did the first step
so the free trail wants me to put in a registration code, and i don't have one obviously
you can look it up
He did the dungeons for it
also the relic weapons are more than just 1 quest
Are they called anima weapons
best heavensward
Complete heavensward
I dont think Tahmeed finished his Zodiac wep tho
beat
I've the veil of wiyu
I would wait until you're 80
how do i kick someone in a dungeon? theyve been afk for a while..
All of those was 1 step?!
@remote lintel press u
When is the second step
Here's all the steps
Which includes a tutorial on every step as well
to give you an idea of what you've got ahead of you
o oke ty
@soft flicker Press O, right click the person, Kick from party, choose Offline or something as the reason
afk isa a reason
anyone have screenshots of the new hair
Holy goodlord wtf so many quests 
ty β€οΈ
kk I forget what they are
I've been paying for the monthly sub, and I looked into the other rates. I noticed for the **180 days $12.99 ** is cheaper than the **30 days $14.99 ***. I was wondering if I switch from 30 to 180 will I be charged $12.99 if I cancel my sub before my next payment is up? Also, can I cancel the 180 days sub within those 180 days like the 30 days sub? Also why is is it cheaper than the 30 days when you're getting the same thing? https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/product/
if you prepaid for sub I don't think you can cancel it
it should only bill you when your sub is up
you're paying ahead that's why it's cheaper
so i'm paying entry is like Game Time
what
like non sub
I think I'll do relics when I'm lv 80
oh that's much better option
Right click -> Glamour, then Remove
thanks
You need a glamour dispeller
Will I get my prism back
No
cause i don't need more characters

np

Prisms are cheap my dude
does clearing an already up fate help with new fates spawning?

grr stupid game wont let me go Scholar, keeps saying to be an Arcanist but i am lol
^
im arcanist, i have no stone
Is there al line in the marco that'll let me show the tooltip?
Screenshoooot @granite swan
only thing i got is my book
Ah, makes sense. ty
Is there al line in the marco that'll let me show the tooltip?
Wdym?
What is the rising event
Can I do it
yes
@granite swan and screenshot the quest?
How
what quest?
The Scholar one?
The rising event
I assume you want to unlock it?
Idk anything about it
You can do it as lv15
Oh I know your issue @granite swan
Is it worth it
Your book can't be used as a Scholar
no wrapping
hey guys, my friend just got jailed. without him knowing what was the reason why he got jailed, how long is the sentence will last?
no wrapping
ah
We can't fly in Heavensward ?
I don't have any toys 
I'd like one
A gm will speak to him at some point @blazing crest
reeee discord
What's the quest called
@patent trellis need to get the aether currents first
You need to get all the aether currents in the zone @patent trellis
@patent trellis need to get the aether currents first
Thought i had to equip stone before it would let me do the book, maybe i got it backwards lol
does he have to stay online? @faint flare
if i have my retainer as a marauder do i need to buy the class book again to change it into a warrior?
Preferably yes
and wait for a GM?
Yes @untold sand
Preferably yes
Aether currents ?
There it goes, i got the stone on, thanks @wintry chasm
Yeah you should be given a help screen about them once you get the aether compass in MSQ
Basically they are green balls in the area you can go to and interact with and there are some that are from side quest rewards and MSQ and once you get them all in an area you can fly there @patent trellis
@blazing crest better to stay online and see whats up. If they log out,they'll relog back into jail.
Oh ok thanks
ok, thanks guys
What does "βRDM (ξ³469)β equipped, but materia and aetherial attributes could not be restored." mean? Only thing i have melded is my wep
Wdym?
@wintry chasm When I make a macro for an ability, i'd like the tooltip to show the description of the ability. not just the title of tha macro
Ah
Thus its tried to remove the materia but can't
@patent trellis I wouldn't go out of the way to get them until you get the aether compass since it lets you zero in on where they are
I dont think thats possible jin.
^ same
You can have 2 buttons. One macro. One normal if you wanna read thr tooltips
Ah I see. so it'll always just be the title of the macro
And have the macro.
Now the fun time ... figuring out how to play Sch at 80 :p lmao
Yea because macroicon can be many many things
Like item thumbnail
Even emote thumbnails
if i get all jokai minions does that make it easier to get the legend coins?
Those that are not supposed to have tooltips.
My brother-in-law has an FC House with a "junk monger" in it who he claims sells a lot of dyes. Does anybody know if those sell "Ruby Red Dye"?
Ruby Red Dye is from Ishgard Restoration i think
any recommended seal expert delivery items?
Any green or pink gear from dungeons you dont need
Why is my launcher redownloading Final Fantasy XIV?
because there was an update
If you really wanted you can buy gear with tomestones and trade them in for seals although i dont recommend it.
Patch came out today
I knew that there was maintenance early yesterday morning but I did not know that an update was to follow
Maintenances always are for updates
Theres usually maintenace before an update
They never do maintenances just because....unless there's some extreme issues
So there is no other way to get Ruby Red Dye other than from the quest or marketboard?
ishgard restoration
Ishgard Restoration sells it for scrip
but you cant access that until you beat heavensward
"Scrip"?
special currency
The currency used for ishgard restoration
Currency for crafters and gatherers
Because all the other red dyes do not look pure red to me
is there a way to set a default world when i switch data centers in the client?
ruby red is just neon red
What are the ??? In the puppet bunker
dalamud red is pretty red
What are they for
Lore
How do I use it
Oh thanks
does congested status change with a patch
Yes
does crafting classes have accessories?
wow so there cant be any new characters on a congested world until the next patch
For SCH, any diff between Eos and Selene?
no
just cosmetic?
yes
hi I'm new and not sure which server to join. more into raiding. but am casual
Aether and Primal are the same. Crystal is mildly more into RP
Aether has Gilgamesh, which has a slightly higher raiding population, but you can play with anyone in a Data center, so specific world doesn't matter unless you want the "Preferred" one
gilg is congested
i have a question about materia melding
so when you try to meld materia, it shows you a bunch of different things like this
Currently, yes
but then when you try to put something that isnt on there, it shows this
ah ok thanks. I guess the individual servers don't matter
individual servers dont matter because you can visit worlds on your DC
Tenacity is a tank stat
it was just as an example
youre just adding a stat that wasnt there
so you can meld whatever you want but its just showing recommended?
the 4 stats shown are just whats on your gear
No
Its showing how much of each stat
You can meld
Ie crit is capped
If you tried to meld crit
It wouldn't do anything
Cause its capped
Thus result in 0 stats
i think theyre asking why it doesnt show other stats
so i can add something like direct hit if i wanted
like tenacity
Yes
You can yes
you can add whatever stat
You can meld what you want just not past the stat caps
ok
Maaaybe a silly question. Does the new ishgard resto hairstyle work on Viera?
my initial self-answer is, "Well of course not, do you expect them to actually make new content apply to Viera and Hrothgar?" but I have hope..
dont think so
it doesn't
sigh
What is the difference between none and limited on battle effects like is none literally you see not even aoes from your party members?
correct
yeah you don't see things like healer bubbles, provokes/shirks
with limited you do
salted earth, doton, smn garuda aoe thingy
are there new macros for phase 3 ishgardian restoration yet?
How do I dye stuff in the glamour dresser? Do I just dye it before putting it in the glamour dresser?
The non-expert recipes are exactly the same
you can dye it before putting it in the dresser, or you can put it in the dresser and right click the item and click dye
Can you only get 3 rewards a week in the puppets bunker?
yes
Yes, gear piece, coin and materia
You get 1 gear piece. 1 coin and the crackes clusters
What about the pet?
thats not locked
Minions and scrolls are unlimited
Is there any reason why people dont level fishing? seems useful for culinaries
Thats not part of the weeklylock
Alright cool what do I do with the the coin
@frail sapphire produces the least gil of the other gatherers
Because FISHING BLOWS
oh lmao
Trade it with the manufactured coin to buy allegory upgrade items
Coin is used to upgrade Crystarium gear to i500
Very little fish are actually used for recipes
So it's more like its own minigame
okay, so building my first char, do races matter? are there racials?
No
Its all fluff
Only your starting class matters cause that picks starting location
how many submarines can i have? if i have the max number of airships and subs, can i send all of them at a voyage at the same time?
Is side quest worth doing? me and my friend are new to this game
not the yuellow ones
Thank you!
Whatβs an acceptable ilvl to start raiding right now at this point in time?
if you're a ranged/caster then just use it on dungeon trash, it's more value
LBs are best used by melee for the last boss, or any of the dps if no melee. There are some points in dungeons where you can use it halfway through
and there's no melee*
and have another charge at the end
not if theres a melee
Donβt use LB to finish off a boss either, thatβs wasted damage.
480 is "acceptable", but 490 would be preferred as it's basically unlimited, since you can upgrade the crafted gear @opaque pewter
How do you upgrade crafted gear?
As a BLM, feel free to use it during last trash pulls
I seem to be missing something here regarding the Ishgardian Restoration. I did everything up to the point of crafting some alloy but I can't seem to turn it in to Potkin. It says I don't have the items in my bag but I can see them right there
Far better than on bosses as caster LB is far superior than melee on 2+ targets
But dont just hold it for the final boss, you get like 2 Lbs if you use it early
No
you trade 480 neo ishgardian in eulmore for "Eulmoran Certificates of Novelty", and buy Undersea Rain for phantasmagoria, then you trade both of them for a 490 neo ishgardian piece @opaque pewter
the certificates allow some flexibility too, since it's not a direct upgrade like tome gear
like you can trade in a caster chestpiece and get enough certificates for 2 tank rings, or something like that
dont quote me on that math tho
can someone tell me the name of the song that plays at the start of the ShB job overview trailer?

How do i get company seals? I need 200 for the Storm Chocobo Insurance.
I don't want to look through the ShB ost and spoil myself on all the songs/song names ; ;

Anyone else on ps4? Most of the time when thereβs an update it makes me reinstall the entire game? (44gb today) Does this happen to anyone else?
ironworks is 50
crafter and gatherer ironworks is 60
ohhh sorry, misread
and crafted
yeah
Can one buy a housing plot using company credits or do you need to carry it?
For free company
you buy plots with gil only
I mean gil in company chest
Housing land and housing permits are gil only
My english
you need to have it on you yeah
Yeah cant have in fc chest when picking a plot
Whats the 1st icon represent ,I know 2nd is glamour dresser and 3rd is armoire
Frew company crest
ah ok ty
you can talk to one of the npcs in your GC headquarters and add a crest on some pieces
ok ty
I was looking away in "World of Darkness" and it STILL caused instant death! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
So did they add new housing? What's the cheapest?
You're looking back too early
Your character need to keep facing away
Or you used an ability.
Until you see Mortal Gaze Dodged
u must wait until the "dodge" appear
Thanks @green grail
Also even if u get afflicted by the "doom" , look for the shiny floor and step on it
You need to have your character physically looking away from the boss. If you get doom anyway, find the glowy pad on the floor and step on it so you don't die
is there a guide for an optimal one-and-done hunting-log trip?
Doing them all in one go seems more efficient
Mortal gaze in worl of derkness checks for victims when the animation goes off, not when cast bar finishes unlike almost every other gaze attack in the game
So about 1 second delay from cast bar to animation
the safest option would be when the " dodge " appear
Why is it saying "target out of range" when I am right next to the boss?
I've always been taking orb on first horses knockback when ramuh uses furys bolt, but i realized it's useless. i got told i would have taken insane damage from it but it's like 30k
u need to check whats ur current target is
Can you buy expansions individually or do you need to pay 40$ for both of them?
u must be targetting something else
Shadowbringers gives you all dlc
is the boss
what vinyl said
which boss is it
maybe he just goes invuln for a mechanic then
no
no
I was asking if I could. I want to upgrade out of the free trial, but I want to own stormblood, seeing as I finished most of the MSQ for post HW. I was wondering if I can get stormblood for 20$.
Yes
ur also missing out on a lot of gils
and its not recommended for your first char
theres no rush to get to endgame
is duty's that gud for seals?
cuz when i did it doesnt seem like super big gain
π well,its understandable if u wan to skip ARR but skipping until SB is kinda weird for 1st character
Well by the time you spend grinding for levels you could have done the story for those levels
@spare plinth each expac is a story arc
If you're in a 80s map dungeon and get a rainbow door, but choose the other door regardless, do you have the usual 50/50 chance to open or 0%?
No, its 50/50 cause its one or the other door
what do i do with the approved ores in skybuilder?
craft them
how do i hand them in
I must have missed something on the five-headed dragon boss. I had full health and was one shotted but did not see any attack come my way
you can look at your battle log and see what hit you
the name of the move at least
And pay attention to your flying text
oh okay
