Accept achievement rewards > quest
i was playing in free trial a while ago
didn't know that once i activate it, it would also patch the game up
Oh ty so very much I see it now.
i guess, just a minute ago i was able to login without any patches
anyone know if spring water is a drop you can still get from monsters in skybuilders?
should i even bother with perception materia if im in the diadem?
Where do I get the weapons refrain extreme?
There are node bonuses that need perception in the diadem
@fathom finch The only drop Truespring Water now
can you farm rathalos unsynced?
yes
does no one play the triple triad tournaments? been sitting in queue forever
then how is anyone suppose to craft the level 70 items?
Are you in the phase 2 or 3 items
@raven sage phase 3
which recipe?
The item drops might be based on your level then because I haven't come across them but I'll see if there's more information
Where the fuck is the leather-bound tome in the Library dungeon (hard)?
I finished it but cant find the tome
is ACT still down?
@misty blaze usually those items just drop into your inventory upon leaving the dungeon if all other requisites are met.
ok I will try
is ACT still down?
@tidal yarrow yes and no. Beta version of new pathc just got released
Just bought shadow bringers expansion on steam and the new races aren't unlocking for me... Am I missing something? I am very new, fyi.
I don't believe there's a physical item to gather for that, there ARE clickable lore items around the dungeon but those differ
@polar hound omg yes. I got it after I left hte dungeon
Register the code
oh alright
On Mogstation
Ah, Okay. Thanks so much!
that should be the standard for all those types of quests @misty blaze , they rarely block MSQ in such ways 🙂
Where can i find skybuilder's iron ore?
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Skybuilders'_Iron_Ore
You dont find phase 1 dtuff
some MAY require you to have a specific item equipped before leaving the dungeon but yeah
nah, it wasnt a MSQ quest. just the side quest that unlock the Hard version of that dungeon. but thanks anyways
You make phase 3 things
Oh fair
Which is in the diadem
we are currently in phase 3
the others are phased out, per se
you live and learn, at least it wasn't days i suppose.
thanks for the help
hope nobody is tryign to make lvl 70 skybuilders gloves....
since they phased out one of the ingredients
No they're still in the gathering log so they're still around
I just can't find anything that explains whether its level based or I'm just blind
i shot 90% of the monsters there over the past two hours and nothing

What level gatherer are you using?
Because I'm really hoping that's not why
oooh I found a node with it
oh true
That's what I'm trying to see since there's no updated list
I have a major question about housing--- An FC moved in next to us recently, about a week ago, and not even a week later its owned by a single player. Is selling houses possible still?? My entire FC is curious because its become an issue actually
they can relocate a pre-existing plot and sell it that way yes or sell the fc.
odds are that single person had a plot already and relocated to that plot, and the FC that was there relocated otherwhere or demo'd
i see, ty.
what affects dps more, determination stat, or intelligence stat?
int
Main stat
your main stat is far more important than secondaries
so always prioritize int over determination for gear?
Yes
yes
Over all secondarily
evert casting gewar you get shgould have int though correct? as a caster though
Is there easy way to check how many sub days I have left on my account without logging in into Mogstation?
@fathom finch I'm still not 100% sure that any of the enemies don't drop spring water since they're all different/give different things from the previous phase, but the water is at least still gatherable in the nodes
i seem to have a bit of lag when i was running through a dungeon while having discord on
should i get a vpn?
hay guise, random question
do i need to finish shb to purchase stuff from hillicen for phantasmagoria?
sweet, thank ya ^^
if you buy the full game from square enix website, would it be able to connect to steam?
Is there a way to set a single skill on your hud to watch its cooldown on console or do i have to put up with a whole 12 skill long hotbar?
You can turn on normal hotbars via the character config > hotbars then you can drag and drops skills onto it and have it somewhere visible
You can change how the hotbar looks so its not just a long hotbar, can be 6x2 or 3x4
Hmm was hoping to just have single skills on there own but i guess ill make due
What one of the best ways to get gathering scrips besides nodes? If there is any other way?
Custom deliveries too
Isn't that only for crafting
You can have single skills, you put them on their own hotbar
And hide unused slots
And it will look like its on its own
theres 1 category for crafting ,1 for gathering and 1 for fishing
Oh really, okay thanks.
gathering scrip are the most annoying one to get
So nodes it is then
it took me a lot of grinding to get past the initial 'wall'
Where can I find a guild here
Recruitment channels
Wanted to get my last relic for fishing and I needed to get the book to get stuff in SHB but thanks guys for your input
is act updated yet?
@faint flare do I post my stats in that channel or?
does the stormblood story skip stop at the beginning of shb?
yes

Is a free company the same as a guild?
yes
Oh alright then thanks
guild, in game, are referring to the class places rather than player made groups
Also I greeded some armor in the puppet bunker by accident is there a way to re roll or am I fucked for the week
you're sol for the week
if im getting nothing bites, am i doing something wrong?
thanks that did the trick
can i go on heaven on high with someone who has it unlocked (or eureka) without me having it yet?
if i buy the stormblood story skip, will it still give me xp?
no
I've abandoned an ARR relic quest a while back by throwing away the Atma version, any way to reclaim that? Checked the calamity salvager and can only find the base version.
Did you already do the story before? @drifting burrow
is The Heavens' Ward roll for skybuilders scrips the new firmament theme
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my friend's buying shb dlc with story skip
@topaz scarab You'll have to start the quest over
Is there any way to be in diadem solo while i'm in a party?
final fantasy is so doomed for me
ARR fates it is 🙂 🔫
i stopped getting legendary tokens
why?
like i was getting almost sure 1 per fate
now i havent gotten 1 in 10
same area / minion
maybe your watch got unequiped
@drifting burrow skipped story with low level character is not that big of an issue, you just need grind dungeons for experience points
i don't remember the name of the skill but how do you get the buff or whatever that says more or less 'you've overfished a bit here so your chances of catching a rare are higher'
Buying job level boost, but doesn't skip story, is worse, way worse
okok that's all i needed to know, thank you!!
!faq altlvlguide
Here's a guide on how to grind exp
also you can't just jump into the shb story if that's what your friend is thinking
like they wouldn't understand anything
thank you!
There is a lot of build up (weaved into other expansion) that leads to it
Is there a place/Discord for doing time limited events? PF is completely dead in regards to the yo kai event and no one is in the HW areas
you could start a PF and people might come
Most players got the yokai stuff done within the first week, if not the first few days. Best you can probably do is throw up your own PF listing and hope to get some others that still need to do it
I did that when I was grinding fates in Il Mheg
@drifting burrow I recommend doing the story for the lvl 80 class
So it's basically just solo grind fates in the off chance someone will join?
yeah
That’s a gg my man
You can level Blue Mage which complete destroys ARR Fates
Hmm I'll probably pass on the mount then, thanks for the heads up
You can get cooler mounts than whisper ngl
you got like 2-3 months left if you ever do wanna come back
unless it’s a collection thing
I was going for the couch mount
I only have HW left but I'll cut my losses here if it's just going to be a massive time sink
Isn’t the couch something that cost real money?
no
no
How do you get it then
it's when you get all the weapons iirc
get all of the yokai weapons
!faq yokai
There's 3 mounts
that was for the previous event
Fuckkkk for real?
this event added 4 new weapons
See the linked infographic
Nah Aether sadly
Damb
what would be a good choice for the 4th beast tribe i do daily? since there are only 3 ShB beast tribes, leaving 3 quest allowances left over per day
Shadowbringers alliance raids are disconnected from the main game lore right?
Well, it exists in the game and interacts with characters
Nope its technically connected
but its like a filler story on animes
Nothing around here is filler

well then i am very curious to understand how they introduced NIER to this game lore
You'll have to see and read
Anyone know if I need the zodiac atma quest active in order to drop atmas from ARR fates with a zenith weapon equipped? I technically already completed it so can't even pick it up again really + they don't seem to drop.
you just need a zenith
since "Up in Arms" is simply the unlock quest
you don't have any quest to pick up once you've done that
I was warned before but is this monk quest reachable on foot?
just having really bad rng then I guess. and all I could find on it were some reddit threads back from 2015 saying you need the quest.
NieR raids are canon to this game yes
Is there a fishing spreadsheet for the diadem for .35
Stupid questions
How do I send Gil from 1 character to another and also if I wanted to be a beginner Melee which melee is like recommended
I believe you'd have to mail the gil to your other character, also Dragoon is the melee DPS most people start with as its the easiest to learn
No, you need a middleman
Fc chest. Trade with friends. I assume you mean between your characters
Mailing requires friends list
Oh okay
And friends list requires both to be online at once
Monk is getting a full rework towards the end of this year
Eh, best to at least get level 30 on Monk
After that it's up to you
with the rework news
as of right now its okay but it takes a lot more effort to be effective with
I'm just doing it now to get it out of the way personally
So even if rework requires me to relearn
I won't have to level it : )
With the way it plays currently though, SAmurai feels so much better
hoping that changes
Hmm basically I want a Melee
Where I can solo stuff or kick some ass with my bf and my sister
Is the "wind up Ohl Deeh" market prohibited? I see people with them around but none on the market
If it's hard to learn then might be good as a newbie to play it or if it's easy then I'll be fine with it till the higher levels
Hi All - I'm waiting for the next sale to buy the complete edition as I'm still wrapping up the end of 2.55, and want to dig into Heavensward before the monthly sub costs start.
My question is, when i buy the complete edition on the SE website - does that automatically start my subscription?
Or can I "activate" it later?
you're given a code that you can activate later
Nobody can answer me?
It's a beast tribe reward Moltres
What fates do I have to do for the yokai event
And yes it's market prohibited
@calm phoenix its a tribe reward
the only version of the game that activates automatically is the digital ps4 version since ps4 is directly tied to your mogstation account
any fates in the appropriate zones for the minion @midnight slate
infographic in pins has info on that
@granite swan @twilit arch gotcha, thank you. Should have grabbed it on the last sale then lol. I suspect there will be one again soon?
But yeah that's all I wanna know as far as melee classes
Black Friday, maybe?
Can lancer sustain or AoE Damage?
hard to say if there will be a sale anytime soon tbh
Someone mentioned a summoner's grimoire that looks like a dragon's wing when opened but he could not remember the name of it. What could that item be called?
that would be either zodiac or anima relic wep
uhhh
All Melee have good AoE damage, its just what they bring to a party. Like Dragoon has a good party buff and Ninja has Trick Attack
probably Mimesis Lux
Hmm
Nobody knows for sure?
Like, they're not great for soloing stuff at all. that's more caster and healer
What's recommended and what level can I goto another city with said character?
maybe a few tanks?
its hard to say for sure because "has dragon wings" is a couple of different weapons
you can go to other cities starting at level 15 MSQ
I love dragons so whatever is easier to obtain
you can air ship to the other two
They're primarily relics so they're pretty grindy to get
What level?
Mimesis is the last step of the 60 relic
And the Eureka one has some Faded wings at 70
Both relic?
Anybody have any pictures? It would be worth me getting because I LOOOOVE dragons
!iglam Mimesis Lux
Relics need a ton of time, patience, and a few therapy sessions.
But very fancy. And flexy.
the level 60 Lux relics in particular require you to run dungeons that are barely, if ever run anymore
so its best to just unsynch run them at level cap to steam roll
!iglam Lemegeton Anemos
Can I get it if I run the dungeons unsynced with higher level players?
Yes
Unsyncing stuff for relics is very common
Which is why people advise doing them at cap
So you can basically solo majority of it
Well a few level 80s helped me with completing Ultimate Weapon so I am sure I would find people come time to do that quest
Well its not just the completeing of said dungeons for the Lux relics. Thats only for part one
Fetch quests and all that, right?
Nooope
part 2 is the poetics grind
Dungeon grinding, poetic grinding, fate farming, roulette farming
Poetics are easy to come by
You need
Like
10k+
Or something
Of poetics
If you primarily do it viq poetics
reminder you cap at 2K
you need around 13k~
So, five days minimum, more likely longer
could be shorter too
If playing for the avarage of 5-6 hours a day, it can take about 2 weeks to get the final Lux version of the HW relic
Oh, I'll grind all right, if dragons are involved, I will get it. I have gone great lengths to get dragon stuff in other games and in real life. My mother thought that I was crazy when I did a $100 minimum bid on a dragon Christmas ornament on eBay
Dragons are the reason why I like Stone Vigil so much and let's not forget about Vishap whom I cannot wait to face
You'll love Heavensward
^
I am aware
should be renamed to Thar Be Dragons
My wife told me that I should make a character named "Vishap Dragon" or something
a quick question: how to setup myself status : busy?
so if I dont have any user for poetics, can I turn them into gil
in game
I was looking at demicrystals but apparently they got nerfed a ton
Right click yourself and edit search info
or just type /busy
ok ty
Wait if I make a new character in the Legacy Server with the raod buff
do it get the buff also?
or just the first character
All that matters is if the server is preferred
Any character made on preferred server gets it
How do I tell it's preferred
It has a star when picking it in character creation
Or you look at the server status page
I cannot get my summon Ifrit to withdraw! I keep activating the summon and he leaves only to just come back a second later. It says that he withdrew but nothing could be further from the truth! I do NOT want him in the screenshot. Does anybody know what the problem could be? Nothing has aggro
How?
Which is in Action and traits > pet tab
The small pet Carbuncle icon
And the pet actions are there
or you can right click him and Dismiss
That works to
How does the game know when I am about to hit the capture button on my controller? The monster that I am posing by always moves a split second before I press the controller combo to take a screenshot
they're shy
They probly only idle for x seconds and your taking x+1
Cant you freeze mobs in gpose or is that just players and minions
Now the game trolled me and made it night
Now you get to wait till 6am >.>
Where’s the best place to go if I have questions about the story but am only midway through the post Stormblood quests?

You can ask here if you're very careful about using ||spoiler tags||
or ask in lore-spoilers and hope no one drops a bomb while u get a reponse
or you can hopinto #archived-lore-spoilers --we'll try not to spoil you deliberately on anything you haven't seen yet, but you can sometimes come in in the middle of a convo
or people won't realise
How do you use spoilers on here?
||like this||
you can also type out a sentence then highlight>right click it
||Spoiler test ||
||poo||
Spoilers up to 4.2 but it’s really more a question about the world building
||So what’s the order of the Empire? Like who’s the head. I honestly keep forgetting who’s who. Zenos is/was the prince right?||
anyone know if the Baron Helm shows on viera or not?
nope
sigh, of course not
it's a dang helmet, so no
can I do dungeons unsycned for the book step for zodiac weapon
Yes
Where do i set what i want for my idle animation?
/Cpose
There are like 4 helms in the game that actually have viera ears poking through now, so I keep hoping I'll be surprised
thanks

yeahj
the yorha 51 aiming/scouting hoods
a low level cowl
one other I think, can't recall
but your options are limited
@narrow arch The empire is ruled by the emperor, Varis zos Galvus. ||Zenos is his son.||
But yeah, idk. It's fairly random so I have hope sometimes
The empire was founded by Varis' grandfather, Solus. Varis is the second emperor.
||You've already met the emperor, in the Sea of Clouds in mid-Heavensward.||
@jade quartz who were the big bads of the original 2.0? How did they fit into the empire?
Gaius van Baelsar was the legatus of the XIVth Imperial Legion.
basically, a commander
The Garlean Empire has fourteen legions, each commanded by a legatus.
in a sense
So basically he was one of the empire's top generals.
The rest were his senior officers
Damn. Night in Eorzea is longer than day
In descending order of rank: Nero tol Scaeva, Livia sas Junius, Rhitahtyn sas Arvina.
@calm phoenix Night is only 7 or 8 pm to 6am
Ah, ||so pretty much everyone in the empire is still around ||
||The empire is a BIG place man||
Longer real time then
@calm phoenix huh? It's not...
let's not forget about the 4th and 6th
It just got day when I set out for screenshots, that did not last long, and now it seems to hang on night much longer
just your perception then.
it's much more difficult to go resupply the 4th in Dalmasca after 4.4
One Eorzean hour is 2 minutes and 55 seconds realtime
24 hours = 70 minutes realtime.
||So Varis became the main emperor at the start of 2.0 but his grandad Solus is still alive? ||
Is it ok to just level up using MSQs?
If we judge "night" and "day" by when the theme music in cities changes from the day theme to the night theme, it's 6pm and 6am
I took plenty of screenshots at night and now trying to get some with me on Bennu but Bennu does not look good at night in front of a giant corrupted crystal
and Class quests
Yes
||Who was the empire guy who joined us and died in that mission chain about the ascian boy in the mask?||
so 35 minutes each
MSQ and class quests are both mandatory
||Thancred?||
@narrow arch ||Regula van Hydrus, legatus of the VIth Imperial Legion.||
||He was also present during Heavensward MSQ, and was the first boss in the Aetherochemical Research Facility.||
||Ysayle died fighting his giant airship.||
Day did not last 35 minutes at all 20 minutes maybe. It just turned day leaving Limsa and I only went two zones on Bennu
||And this new guy I just met who is meeting with to discuss trading the prisoners with Yotsuyu is?||
||Asahi sas Brutus, Ambassador Plenipotentiary of Garlemald.||
Landed not too far from Swiftperch
||Basically an officer who has been sent on this diplomatic mission and given permission to speak with the emperor's authority.||
Got night before taking anything good
||Asahi is a cool guy||
The time just got away from you then
If you'll proceed w/ the game it will explain who is who
When was DoL facet gear out? 5.2?
An Eorzeon day is 70 minutes and our day is 24 hours. Man I can see some FFXIV player/algebra teacher making an algebra problem out of that
So when should we expect the next set of crafted dol/doh gear, if any?
no
no, next will be 6.0
Aesethe is the last set for 5.x
Well yeah
They add new Endgame crafting gear on patches prior to new raid tiers
So that gear is used to make the new Combat gear
You mean scrip gear?
Hello, new player here. Which server should I picK?
Aethese is 5.3 and will be used to make the new combat gear for 5.4
Which region are you in?
NA
Ok thanks
You can pick either ather, primal and crystal data centre
Is it crystal the last one i forgot
Normally, we recommend new players select a "preferred" status server in order to get a major exp buff for their first 90 days.
Of the three NA datacentres, only Crystal currently has any preferred servers.
Okay got it tyvm
Be aware that Crystal has a smaller endgame raid population and a higher population of roleplaying players.
current preferred servers are
!preferred crystal
ather are the "hardcore" raider, primal bunch of troll and crystal is a rp server.
That what i researcher last time
Im not a hardcore rp player
primal isn't a bunch of trolls
should I just pick aeher instead then?
primal and aether are basically the same
It was an kotaku article lol
cringe
Yeah, haha
you should probably not give that much stock in a kotaku article
I have no where to go for my research either reddit or that
if you are very interested in doing endgame challenge-difficulty raids (savage, ultimate) then Aether and Primal may be better for you long-term
That was like 4 months ago when i start playing this game
but it's still possible to find groups for that stuff on Crystal
anyone down to help me grind for primal horses?
if you're not too fussed and just wanna discover the game and have fun
how rare of a drop is the hairstyle from heaven on high
you'll be fine in Crystal
you can change datacentres at any time by paying some real money
$18 USD
Hey guys, I gor a question. When you disable the option "display headgear" on the Character Configuration window, does it hide the hat for everyone?
Or is it just for me
everyone
as someone that went to crystal but only cares about combat content, dont go to crystal
wait it disables for everyone??
oh I misread
it doesn't hide their helmets :V
it also works with headgear that has a visor option
everyone will see what you set it to
are trial accounts cant create hrothgar charcater??
And you have to disable manually again
you need to make sure you save the gear set
Save gear set to save /displayhead status
can be individually set for each different gearset
i thought trial accounts will be updated to latest expansion regardless
Thanks! It worked!
no
They have heavensward
trial accounts only have access to A realm reborn and heavensward
Not the latest
they do not have stormblood or shadowbringers access
hrothgar need shadowbringers dlc
weird
hrothgar
umm well regradless ya still wont have full acceses ro everuthing
but this seems minior to not including it
they're tied to dlc
Viera and Hrothgar were exclusive Shadowbringers races released with Shadowbringers.
This is a common MMO practice.
They're one of the big selling-point draws of a new expansion
Once you buy the game you must pay a subcription to play, right?
Yes, you get a free 30days when buying
yes
But after that gotta pay
Ow, it'd be cool if you could at least continue playing as a free trial until you renew it or log-in

when first downloading the game
does it also downloads to the katest expansion but ya gotta buy the expansion to unlock the content
@covert hazel no
or ya wiol download that data whej buy th expansion
it wont dl it no
the second part
@covert hazel OK, if you own Starter Only
The launcher will download starter edition related data. additionally, the launcher will grab the data for anything from Stormblood/Shadowbringers that can show up in starting area (gear, weapon, jobs, mounts, VFX, etc). Basically anything lv80 player can bring to starting area.
Once you register your Shadowbringers expansion
Launcher will grab the Shadowbringers/Stormblood's map, quest, boss, models, etc
Around 15-20
The total install size is on the ballpark of 45-50 iirc
My PC install directory reads 47.8GB
i see
as long i am foing to have download less data than what i have its fine
bad internet speed 😅
thx for the help
🐓
Can Gladdy equip a greatsword?
Doesn't work that way Shyira
@leaden ginkgo once you pick a data center in #612757637813239808
You will be able to see recruitment channel(s)
@serene bison greatswords are equipped by dark knights.
Each class is distinguished by the type of weapon it equips.
damn
You cannot mix and match gears
when are the hours that my friend can create a character on my world, he is currently trying to and its not overpopulated either
Or make spec, like making Ninja an evade tank
Character creation opens and closes depending on how many people are currently online on the server
XIV job are strictly defined
your friend should try waiting for a less-busy time of day
mornings or way late at night are usually empty times
The recommendation is to try it on "ungodly hours" like 4-6am locally for the data center
Are housing prices the same even if they are brand new ? trying to figure out how much to save for when the new wards become available and I'm not sure if the prices of vacated housing plots are the same to new ones
depends on the specific plot's grade, and how long it has been vacant
So when the new wards come up, they'll all be at "initial pricing"
What's a good DoH/DoL for a bard/GNB? I'm currently a bard but considering of switching to GNB just because of the queues
Any resources to see the demand of specific items in the market board?
You can view the sale history of any item by clicking on the page icon in the upper-right of any listing
i see
Universalis is an app that records prices when players who have it active access the marketboard, and upload it to their server
but this is pretty infrequent
There's no substitute for looking at the history yourself.
Does changing your race effect your Eternity ring?
no
crap. I lost my ring somehow 😭
do a quick /isearch eternity
So I talked to the Ishgard Restoration guy to accept the new questline but I skipped through and didn't see what it said, it doesn't show in my journal so what do I do now??

you mean literally just the brand-new part?
Does transferring a character to another data center change his lodestone ID/URL?
Yes
It's just the foreman saying "hey we're working on a new district, it's gonna be like a market district, btw there's new stuff at the shop too"
that's it
wtf
What's the most hardcore FC in all the NA servers?
it's like three or four lines of dialogue
quests will probably appear towards the end of progress on the area
I've stopped playing for years and I'm trying to catch up on a Samurai quest...
I can't find the trainer in New Grandania as stated here:
Any idea how I'm suppose to find him lol
is there anything worth to spend ixai oaknot on? 😮
uhh check your last completed samurai quest in your journal
I'm level 56, I own the expansion
The quest on the underside is always your job quest.
Click on it and it will show you the location on the map.
Then go and do it.
No that's a gladiator quest
I know.
I'm just showing him the location of the UI.
And where the job quest is located, on the top left with the main story.
oh right thought that was his screenshot v_v
Is there a guide somewhere that shows progression paths from heavensward up?
Progression paths meaning...?
Well ya that sounded dumb
You just follow the main story, job quests and
quests
Minimap should have a slightly shaded circle. Se likes to place objectives at the edge of the circle for some reason
Like quests at level 52, job quest at level so and so
whats that last quest?
After job quest
Oh lol
Hi, is it still worth crafting skybuilder's collectibles from the past season? (if I'm only after the EXP)
I have a lot of leftover materials
need to join a high ranking FC
Also is grinding time events still recommended? I forgot what they're called. Quick time events?
uhh FATEs aren't what you should be doing as a main leveling method, no
But if you are leveling, of course not.
they're basically if you have nothing else to do or are waiting in queue
QTE is limited to use in a small number of instances (reaction based in alexander, button mash in msq)
Oh ok
FATEs are just there to annoy you during relic-grinding.
RNG messes.
Some FATEs give achievements if you care about that.
Some others, glams.
Like Odin.
Some achievement boss fates can be exploded with blue mage missile (yeti in western highlands a big exception, probably not Odin eithr)

I keep seeing memes involving a tank mount. What is it called and how do you get it?
rolling tankard, and its from rank 7 with the dwarves. You need a lv70 crafter to do the dailies
Thank you, I guess this means I should start leveling crafters now. Do I require a big budget to do that? Somebody once told me that you need to level them all to do crafting.
its generally recommended to level them all ye. since it cuts down on armoury space and most of them need materials from each other. If you want to level a crafter solely for the tank mount though, you could focus on cul or alchemist
what sort of attributes should you be prioritizing as a level 80 tank? determination? skill speed?
tenacity?
and they are the most independent of the lot, cul needing only botanist and miner for materials and alchemist only requiring materials for the smn/sch books (which you can skip during the leveling process for the most part)
oop *dark knight, if that makes a difference
if you've got 60+ combat job, and passed the main scenario quest "Litany of Peace" you can unlock the ishgard restoration which is really easy, lazy way of leveling crafters
@shell dagger
should you not prioritize tenacity?
generally, no
that was for sks^ tenacity isnt really used outside of prog generally
tenacity is useless
Tenacity is an efficient stat for what it is, both increasing damage and mitigation at a nominal rate.
Tenacity is currently regarded as a progression stat, in a similar vein to Vitality melds of old;
Helpful on occasion and can save your life, but not enough to warrant continuous, future use.
The gain of Tenacity is not in reducing healer load. The gain is in the “insurance policy.”
Tenacity could be useful. It could save your life. But you won’t see tangible benefit from Tenacity
until that moment where you almost die.

hmmm ok
Are you allowed to Queue for The Striking Tree (Extreme) alone and find a team? sorry if this is asked a lot, I'm level 57 and item level 119
you would use party finder, but most people will prefer it unsynced
NA doesnt use duty finder for extremes in any form as a heads up, you'll find much better luck tossing it into party finder and ^
ahh, it was telling me I'm not allowed to queue for it
you meet the requirements, should be able to
I found out why lmfao, my friend was still in the party but was logged out on another game lmao
im ashamed of myself
but still try party finder imo, queuing in DF will take a very long time
what is this?
is there a mount to buy with with allied seals?
game needs a high-res texture update for 1440p users
I found this really in depth crafting guide. It says 5.05 though. Should I follow that or look for a different one? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L1aDMxZOjhdmzsilToDvsrwqfcUOs6NKxhsCBa1IwVQ/edit

what is this?
@raven crown if you get a mount or item for a quest specifically and lose it, you can go back there and get it again
beast tribe quests tend to have that a lot, especially crafting ones
is there a similar attribute priority thing for astrologian @twilit arch ?
at 80, i mean
yes
ty ace
How difficult is it to level crafting on a trial account?
not difficult after you finish HW
@shell dagger
You can access ishgard restoration so not hard
ah, i just hit 60, working on MSQ still
anyone have a recommended intro to ishgard restoration or just google it?
the quests introduce it
is this the right place to ask?
I have JP SE acc and i can't buy ffxiv on ps4 (paypal somehow limit me from paying) so I thought maybe I'll get it on PC instead. so can I buy JP version with non-JP card?
kk ty cerb
ok ty, kaelwryn!
Depends on the retailer, I know play asia is liberal payment wise although might have problems with subscription time@oblique geyser
Should off tank close tank stance when doing raids if there are no adds?
not really
Depends on the retailer, I know play asia is liberal payment wise although might have problems with subscription time@oblique geyser
@left moth ah I see, I can't buy it directly from SE?
they should turn it on after a while
Because some guy started annoying me because I told him to open his tank stance
Saying I dont deserve my mentor crown (Even tho I am fking Trade Mentor)
And I should shut up etc etc
lmao
Getting tilted in A1N
i mean you could have died and then he wouldnt have stance on and then the boss starts attacking other people and then by the time he turns it on its a wipe
Yeah that was my idea
@oblique geyser I dont know if se store checks payments by country (as anti fraud). Their credit/debit card processor is famous for being bad
oh, alrighty then. thanks a lot @left moth !
btw as someone who plays free trial until lv30, is it worth it to buy starter pack or it's better to buy complete edition straight?
@leaden ginkgo my feeling when "I'll pop provoke if you get turned into kibble" is too simple an argument 
does SAM Kaiten (50% Potency boost) affect Higanbana (DoT)?
you can play trial much longer now, they just upgraded the trial @oblique geyser
trials gotten alot better btw
I assume its correct
The sam dot should always be boosted but never doubled
quests arent as bad as they used to
you can play trial much longer now, they just upgraded the trial @oblique geyser
@polar hound so i should make use of free trials and then get the whole complete pack when i reach the cap?
30 isnt the lvl cap anymore, you can get to 60 and finish heavensward
since people say starter packs contains base game and heavensward
^^^ if you can afford the sub, theres no reason not to upgrade at the time imo either
If youre tired ofof deleting shit from your inv because you don't have retainers
If you get to the cap in free trial
Does transferring a character to another data center change his lodestone ID/URL?
buying starter pack would be worthless since you already did all the content
Or you feel like you actually want to disciple of the land and hand
As far as I know transfering or renaming does not change character id. Support might be able to change char id in cases of harassment but they are more likely to say report people first
Free Trial: play up to lvl 60, with social/gil/inventory restrictions
Starter Edition: ditto above, but no restrictions. And 30 day sub included.
Shadowbringers: contains Stormblood, covers 60-80 stuff
Complete: Starter + Shadowbringers
DoL and DoH locked behind full game?
every class is correct
It is just highly inconvenient to level doh/l with free trial, because of the gil/inventory restrictions
you also get 3 jobs
cant get sam/rdm i think or gnb/dnc
those are jobs
Btw
Ft can still see shouts and yells right
hmmm, tempting
heavensward is a big expansion? i mean is it as big as the base game?
Yes
heavensward is an amazing expansion
in terms of story it infinitely (imo and many others) trumps anything in ARR
Ok, I guess Carbuncle server is just a really quiet place, because I neverwas noticed one
remember, FFXIV is a Final Fantasy game first, mmo second. so Story is the focus and in HW+ is when it picks up
if you can afford the sub, id advise to just upgrade now and go with it tbh but your call ultimately, poke around on the trial some more theres no rush
oh boi... kind of in a dilemma right now XD
of picking starter or saving a bit more for complete
But is there an indicator between shouts and yells right
I know that tells are pink colored
The default is pink
If I'm starting from Lv 1 crafting, can I start with the ishgard thing?
Orange shout yellow yell
level 20+
ah
btw thanks a lot guys for your insights
now I know better to make decision on the game
np, save up for the complete prolly and play the trial til then
no rush and definitely enjoy the story
yeah, I'm gonna try to solve my paypal jp issue and if it's settled anytime soon, I'll get starter pack right away, if not, I'll just save up and buy complete edition later on
Hi, If I'm transferring worlds from Congested to Preferred, do I need to demolish my house so I can get the 3m gil compensation apart from the housing cost? I'm getting conflicting information and I just want to make sure before I do anything
Does transferring a character to another data center change his lodestone ID/URL?
should i be reparing my non-combat gear (crafting gear and gathering gear?)
Someone said I should be able to buy the lvl 70 tomestone gear from the sundry splendor vendor, but it only is showing up to ilvl 130?
@opaque sandal no, take out all items except one to get housing credit plus extra for "lost decoration". Demoing it gets no gil
@left moth Thank you so much!
Auto demolish gives something like 80% value and interior dumped on housing npc but auto demo is obviously disabled currently and takes 45 days
@hazy jay go to kugane for lv 70 things

@normal breach yes. If they brwak while you are crafting. You are super boned.
@white sinew no (thats a known issue with people who use character id to stalk/harass)
@whole wasp does the item break and go away?
hate to say this but a map has me genuinely stumped
does anyone know where the hell this is at
i just hit 50 on my alt and trying to catch up to my msq, what dungeons do i do at 50? i unlocked a ton of them
@normal breach you lose the stats from the item but you can repair it again normally.
...wait, i have a theory
@soft flicker hard mode dungeons are optional. They dont give good exp either. Do them if you like the story.
oh, are dungeons not good xp anymore after you hit 50?
oooh
that's for the 8 man maps
so a dungeon at like 52 or whatever will be good
oh i didnt see the 1
https://www.dopr.net/ff14playguide/treasurehunt5-1 @red junco its F
@soft flicker anyway. Try sathasha hardmode and see the aftermath of your first dungeon as an adventurer. Have fun~
haha what do you mean? is it hard?
it's all good, this is like a one-time thing for me to worry about
Satasha (Hard) has a notoriously annoying first boss for unprepared healers.
It's also an entirely different dungeon than the original version at level 15.
is there a script turnin in the crystarium or only at eulmore?
i2501, is there a fix for that? D;
Can you have a working message book in your FC room?
satasha hard flashbacks pls no
@soft flicker no. Hardmode dungeons just means the old dungeins but revamped for lvl 50 content.
How long does it take to max all classes?
Its no harder than normal lvl 50 dungeons.
however long you want it to take @heady nimbus
Depends on how much time you want to invest and how hard you want to go @heady nimbus
No messing. Go try it if you wanna.
oh okay haha
Hmm
Does leveling classes become faster/easier after your first one? Or is it the opposite?
Faster after
Faster. You get a bonus to xp for subsequent jobs.
easier after oyu level the first one because you get an exp bonus and have everything unlocked
You get 100% exp bonus to all classes below your highest.
O
50% from 71 to 80
Tam-tara hard and Satasha hard have some decent story in it - continuation on the story.
Unlike in some games, the hard modes change "a bit". different bosses, maybe different route. Not just "same dungeon but scaled+more mechanics"
Assuming you use only hunt logs and daily roulettes after level 16, and do all possible roulettes, it should take you in the neighborhood of about 18-20 days to get a new job from 1-80.
One of the hard mode dungeons have you go through it in reverse too. Cant remember which one.
can anyone hlep me with my ACT?? im not sure why it looks liek this/doesnt work, i just downloaded the update and its still the same
feel likei mighta fucked something up
it would be unwise to speak of things that are against TOS
you can talk about it here
oh im not, ill try that real quick
We don't care about ACT talk here. This isn't an official affiliate.
i just want to see if i'm performing well honestly
i have no idea if im doing well ornot lol
You might have to give it a couple of days before ACT gets back up and running correctly.
oh i thought someone just said it wsa working
Usually not, but it's still third party
again its already working just fine
yeah, i just patched the plugin and it didnt fix it for me, launched in administrator as well
i mustve messed something upo
Delete and redownload?
yeah could do othat
I mean, it's the nuclear option, but "have you tried turning it off and back on again" is tried and true IT.
yeah i did haha
Try the ACT discord. They prob have more detailed instructions
oh okay, ill look that up, thanks!
as a free trial player should i give up on crafting case im running out of shards it's hard to farm
Do the lvl 1 quest if all the crafters they give a generous number of starting shards.
If the plugin was updated go punch something and see if it starts showing anything. If it was an overlay update then need to wait for public release or a plugin beta on act discord @soft flicker
i did that then i went ham in culinary yesterday and got down to 50 lol
õh thanks
Which jobs are available on free trial?
Transferring to another world costs money right? Because i always see many SEA players ask to join Tonberry but problem is that server is always full since i already made my character Atomos should i just stick in Atomos? Thanks
@lone zephyr All others but NOT: Dancer, Gunbreaker, Red mage, Samurai
All except gunbreaker dancer samurai red mage.
Which DoW leads to Ninja?
Is the isghard restoration permanent (like scrip kupo fortunute stuff?
Rogue but you cant start as rogue
rogue @lone zephyr
Rogue but you cant start as rogue
Wat?
Get to lvl 10 in any job that starts in limsa and change jobs.
Marauder arcanist and uhh
just those two who start in limsa
Right 
Aaaa
Are titles the only Ishgard Restoration rewards or is there more
An achievement and title is the rewrd for ranking, scrip things and minigame prizes are the main attraction
Minions and mount are fringe benefit to no lifing the expert recipies
darn so rankings really just for the flex, ty
Yeah and getting multiple rankings (per job) only gives you multiple achiement certificates (read: useless)
Is the Warring Triad questline worth doing does it have anything lorewise to do with future expansion?
@narrow vale who knows
Nothing for the moment
But one of the warring triad has some pretty sweet looking weapons, imo
At the moment the warring triad npc has only been updated dialog wise for current expansion. Hes not likely to be updated after 6.0
what is the recommended ilvl for trying the eden verse savage trials?
The warring triad, iirc, ||was moved to their current location from a now allegedly desolated land, Merca..I dunno how to spell the rest||, for the time being, there is no hint that we will be visiting there, but who knows.
Spent the whole day doing the whole Alexander questline/raid. If Warring Triad has nothing important ima skip. Which of the Chronicles of a New Era is worth doing for the story or is important lorewise in SB and ShB
or like related to the story as a whole. I know Crystal Tower is important in ShB
what is the recommended ilvl for trying the eden verse savage trials?
@brazen dawn what's the ilvl requirement to get in?
Will the kupo and scrip rewards for ishgard remain behind once its canonicaly done?
445 which sounds rather low
Anywhere between 485-495 tbh
Kupo bot won't update the image for my gear when I use the whoami command. Has the right class, but is wearing gear from a different class. I know it refreshes every couple hours, but its been like 8 hours and still hasn't refreshed. Nobody else in my server seems to be having this problem. I verified my character profile and everything.
Was wondering if there's any way to fix it or force it to refresh or something.
ah ok ty
For current even savage 490+ is recommended (more safety room) since augmented crafted is available but anything above 480 (minimum) works as long as youre very comfy with job will be learning in (dps wise and ability to perform mechanics)
@bright monolith the lodestone does the refreshing
kupo bot just pulls from the lodestone which updates at specific times @bright monolith
nothing can do but wait for the site to refresh
The only gurantee i know is at least once per 24 hours
