[manic flare]

or have chocobo also have some attack skills as well?

[obsidian patio]

Up to choco cure is generally enough

Maybe even just choco regen

[leaden ginkgo]

do u have to change the choco's stance for it to use diff moves?

or can we just set it to free stance and do our thing

[remote lintel]

it just it automatiax;ly

[obsidian patio]

Setting it to free let’s it make use of all its use

The specific stances make it only use from that tree

With healing stance making it not attack entirely

[manic flare]

if you are summoner, the most useful DoH is weaver?

[remote lintel]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey there, soon to be new player here, I'm trying to get some general information on the game, is anyone here like willing to help me understand some things?

[remote lintel]

almost all crafters make gear

just ask bez

unless you mean you just want general tips

[leaden ginkgo]

Yea very general stuff, I'm a long time player of WoW so i

i'm kinda looking for differances etc

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh wow that's gonna help for sure 😄

Thanks

[faint flare]

https://reddit.com/r/ffxiv/w/wowrefugee?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app

Also reddit thread

[remote lintel]

main differences from what ive seen are that you can be every class on 1 character, rotations are kinda more complicated, boss fights require you to pay more attention

[faint flare]

Has class comparisons and stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there any classes or something I should avoid etc? Like is there a tier list or something like that?

[remote lintel]

no

there is no meta

[manic flare]

blue mage is hard

[faint flare]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[remote lintel]

we dont talk about blue mage

[faint flare]

Unlike wow, devs care for balance

All jobs can clear all content with no issues

[robust notch]

Samurai DPS though 🤤

[little swift]

any tier lists you see on youtube or whatever are purely a creators opinions

[remote lintel]

also all mechanics in all boss fights are 100% scripted except the rng parts

[little swift]

and the data they provide is basically at the highest level of gameplay

but realistically every job is able to do all content

[robust notch]

And if you're not enjoying your current class, just level a different class on the same character

Easy peasy

[leaden ginkgo]

That's sounds really really nice! I'm probably gonna go for the highest level of gameplay, I know ambitious, but kinda the type of player I'm in MMOs so was just wondering if there are thing like that

[remote lintel]

the equivalent of mythic raids are called ultimates in this game

and they are longer

[faint flare]

There's high end raids

[remote lintel]

like 14-18 mins

[faint flare]

Savage and ultimate

Savage is more somewhat like Mythic, ultimate is mythic jacked in all the steriods

[remote lintel]

i thought people said they were about the same

difficulty

[leaden ginkgo]

That's really cool then something i'm intrested in for sure

[manic flare]

i dont recommend summoner if u are new

[remote lintel]

you can look them up on youtube

"the epic of alexander" is one of them

[leaden ginkgo]

whats the best time to make accounts on congested servers?

[faint flare]

You flat out cant make characters on servers labelled as Congested

[leaden ginkgo]

I heard there are times when they are open

yea @leaden ginkgo cool thing about ff is all content has been cleared with all classes ;D

[manic flare]

i regret picking summoenr for the longest time

[strange cove]

in what level does the early game end in this game

[faint flare]

!faq serverlock

[leaden ginkgo]

Like early mornings

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[faint flare]

Not for congested servers

Thats for the temporary lock

There is a difference

[leaden ginkgo]

oh gotcha

thanks

[remote lintel]

@strange cove what do you mean early game

[glossy flare]

in what level does the early game end in this game
@strange cove you will keep unlocking pretty crucial abilities for your job right up until 80 (ofc for some jobs it's more crucial stuff than others)

[wispy parcel]

I might as well just take titan-egi off my hotbar right

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah unless you're doing solo content

or practising a raid

because for progression it's nice to have the shields

[glossy flare]

I might as well just take titan-egi off my hotbar right
@wispy parcel it's nice for some rare solo content moments

but yeah

[faint flare]

If you're not super optimising aoe burst

Titan has a use in UWU

As egi assault 2 is used to burst down the plumes

As its burst damage vs garudas ground dot

[gilded forge]

If I'm cooking things, is there a way to cook multiples at the same time?

[faint flare]

Only with quick synth but you'll be letting the HQ chance be left to rng

[gilded forge]

ew

[leaden ginkgo]

My only questions is there a possibility of soloing old content in the game, I love doing that in WoW

[faint flare]

You can unsync old content

And solo majority of it

[leaden ginkgo]

yep

[remote lintel]

there's an unsync function in the game

[leaden ginkgo]

it's easy to solo old content

[remote lintel]

which basically removes all restrictions

from a duty

[calm phoenix]

Does anybody think that they will ever add the beastmaster job? I have a thing for monsters and I would fully utilize that job

[remote lintel]

no one knows

[faint flare]

They murmured it

As a potential limited job

Similar to blue mage

So if they did add it. Probably be limited job

No, Mogstation stuff has no stats

All stuff thata purely for glamour has no stats

[manic flare]

what does the RP icon next to a player name mean

[glossy flare]

costumes are just regular piece of gear

[slate arrow]

roleplay

[glossy flare]

means they are a roleplayer

[faint flare]

Or extremely minimal stats

[manic flare]

what does that mean?

[slate arrow]

roleplay.

[glossy flare]

they engage into roleplaying 😄

[slate arrow]

Like LARPing

[glossy flare]

like acting as characters in the world of xiv

yeah, like larping

just online via text

[calm phoenix]

It would be cool if they made it where a beastmaster could purchase a place for their tamed monsters and the monsters could produce items every so often

[slate arrow]

lolno

[faint flare]

They mentioned a Minion farm a few times

[glossy flare]

lemme fight with my minions like pokemons

[slate arrow]

you might like lords of verminion then

[glossy flare]

yeah, it's not the same

I want to point at random people and then have little creatures pummel each other

but this is taking things off topic for this channel 😄

[heady orbit]

Why i feel like i dont have dmg with mch ?

[leaden ginkgo]

don't try dancer if you feel that way

[heady orbit]

Im still only 40

[glossy flare]

I dunno, MCH has the highest dps of all the physical ranged jobs

well then you still have heaps of skills to unlock

does it make you feel better if i tell you that you'll eventually have a mech?

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah you're still pretty early

while crafting, if u increase the quality of an item to full does it guarantee HQ?

[heady orbit]

I think

Thanks

[faint flare]

Yes azim

[vivid thorn]

for Dohn Mheg: how to deal with the puddle boss?

[leaden ginkgo]

if my scholar is lvl 72 and I unlock summoner, will it have the same level?

[faint flare]

Yes

@vivid thorn the geysers active after 3 aoes after they spawn, move to a place with no geyser or a puddle thats not bubbling. Once geyser activates, you can move there

The hitboxes for them are larger than you think

[normal breach]

how do leves rotate? if im trying to get a sepcific large tradecraft leve (the one that cost 10 leves) can i just do any of the single leves and will everything change?

[remote lintel]

@vivid thorn after puddles bubble they erupt

you can stand in the bubbling and then move next time he smash

[obsidian patio]

@normal breach answered you in #doh-dol-lounge

[manic flare]

which trials give u good triple triad cards?

[tulip plover]

Whats the best training regimen for squadron

[faint flare]

Comprehensive for xp, the other ones are for shifting stats

[tulip plover]

Do you need to shift stats?

[faint flare]

You may want to in order to hit mission requirements

[tulip plover]

And is there a best team comp?

[solar surge]

Is the max level for Retainers 23? And if that's the case, how do I unlock ventures above Field Exploration V?

[remote lintel]

no

max is 80

they can't go over your lvl

[tulip plover]

Where do i get contemporary warfare magicks?

[solar surge]

Ohh. They can't go over the level for the class they have equipped I'm guessing?

[remote lintel]

the level of your class yes

[solar surge]

Okay, thank you

What determines overmeld success chance? It says 17% but that percentage just sounds so specific.

so innovation should be wait.3

@lean coral

the determinants are what level materia and what slot

[proven swan]

what are hunt trains?

[remote lintel]

exactly what they sound like

[faint flare]

Like fate trains but they go after Hunt mobs

A and S ranks

[proven swan]

oh

not rly familiar with all that lol

[split jay]

Do you have to do the post expansion msq for every expansion that you beat

[faint flare]

Yes

[remote lintel]

its part of the story

[faint flare]

But they're shorter than post ARR

[split jay]

Omg

[faint flare]

Its all one continuous story

[proven swan]

how do u usually find hunt trains? is there a disc for it

[remote lintel]

https://discord.gg/centurio

[proven swan]

thanks :D

[faint flare]

There's hunt discords in resources

[split jay]

The rr post expac msq is making me miss wow

[remote lintel]

it was shortened

and its important to the story

[little swift]

so basically think of each post expansion msq as 2 things

[split jay]

I’ve really loved this game so far but I’ve been doing this boring quest line for like a week now

[little swift]

an epilogue to that expansions story

and a prologue to the next

they always wrap up the expansion they're tied to as well as lead in to the next one

[remote lintel]

it will get better

just keep doing it

[split jay]

Ok I will

I’m on the 2.5 stuff rn

[remote lintel]

then youre basically done with it

[split jay]

I’ve looked at the wiki and it says I still have like 25 quests left

[remote lintel]

yeah thats not that much

[split jay]

Ok

[faint flare]

And shits about to happen in the story

Big shit

[remote lintel]

yeah

at the very end the game gives you a warning to set aside time to view the cutscenes

because shits about to get wack

Try putting skills in via auto translate

Just to guarantee everything is spell correctly

[lean coral]

whats this auto translate?

[faint flare]

Press tab while tying something

[lean coral]

i dragged the skill from the skill window into the macro so i know its correct

[faint flare]

Its messages that come up with the red and green arrows

[little swift]

Like this

[gloomy mortar]

Does Innovation have to be in quotes?

[faint flare]

Skills in macros do

[obsidian patio]

It’s only one word so no

[faint flare]

Or at least its habit

[gloomy mortar]

Is giving the macro a name and icon required for it to work?

[lean coral]

no

[obsidian patio]

Name might be required

But not an icon

[lean coral]

can i set a hotbar number as a function intead of a skill name?

[gloomy mortar]

Did you select all mats, and hit the use HQ items ?

[sharp meteor]

is diadem good for leveling my crafters/gatherers?

[obsidian patio]

You can put some menus as hotbar actions

when ppl say Light farm in eureka, is it gaining the aether crystal bar for Frosted Protean Crystal?

Primarily pagos since thats mandatory for the relic

Pyros light is optional

is there a way to limit the number of hotbars I can cycle through with the Key: Cycle through hotbars ?

I only want to cycle through hotbars 1 to 4, but it cycles through all existing hotbars, even if I disable them from the HUD layout

@leaden ginkgo what platform

[leaden ginkgo]

Steam

PC keyboard and mouse

[remote lintel]

why dont you just display all hotbars

that you need

[small atlas]

is there any way to make profit out of untradable/binded armor?

[leaden ginkgo]

@remote lintel there's an option to cycle through hotbars, that can only be done in Hotbar 1

[faint flare]

Trade it in for seals and sell grand company mats

[calm phoenix]

Why is Urth's Fount a "more than 30 minutes" wait time?

[faint flare]

Or desynth it and sell the raw materials

[leaden ginkgo]

However, I want to limit the amount of hotbars I can cycle through in there

[faint flare]

Because Urth fount is equilivant to a extreme

And not many people do it

Its a weird one

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo dont think you can

[calm phoenix]

So, I should go in there unsynced?

[faint flare]

Yes

[remote lintel]

i dont think you can solo it

[glossy flare]

the mechanics are not that hard, it's just that you lack some tools to deal with it I think

[remote lintel]

at your level

[glossy flare]

like a proper way to deal with tankbusters as a tank

[faint flare]

Its not toooo bad but the damage can get out of control with bad healers

[glossy flare]

yeah

[faint flare]

And frequent busters

Plus the dps check at the end

Hard to pass with weaknesses

[glossy flare]

when I get it in roulette it's usually mostly sprouts 😄

but it's fine once you point the healers to the name of the busters

they enjoy the challenge

[calm phoenix]

Would one level 80 helper be enough or should I grab a few more for Urth's Fount?

[faint flare]

Yes, 1 is enough for all ARR

[stable hinge]

free trial player here: where can I find someone to invite me and my friend into a party? a reddit post told me to ask in the novice network but I can't seem to find that

You need to ask a mentor to invite you

To novice network

[open ember]

You can ask anyone around you

[faint flare]

People with crowns by their name

Ohh novice network yes

[faint flare]

Go to like limsa and ask

You could just ask anyone in limsa with say or shout or whatever you can do and say "can a mentor add me to Novice network? "

Some mentors will have their crowns off

If I was on aether I would assist you but alas I'm a primal mentor

[vagrant lodge]

someone tried to pm me but I cant pm them back FeelsBadMan again

[static yacht]

if you do

frontline roulettes

does your placing determine how much exp you get

or is it

"lump sum" + placing exp

[obsidian patio]

@keen dagger from what I’ve heard grade 3 gives the same experience as grade 2 stuff

So if it was a calculator for leveling up it should still be accurate

Stormblood Jobs and How to Unlock Them

Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.

Job Unlock Locations:
Red Mage - Distraught Lass at Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (14,12), quest name is "Taking the Red".
Samurai - Ul'dahn Citizen at Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (9,9), quest name is "The Way of the Samurai".

[calm phoenix]

I take it that there is no way to remove a favorite destination when using Aetherytes?

[tulip plover]

Make another location your fav

[obsidian patio]

I don’t know if you can outright remove it, but you can swap between favored spots freely

[delicate ivy]

Have they changed how the brayflox rings drop?

[obsidian patio]

Not that I know of.

[calm phoenix]

Then what am I supposed to do when I have three favorites and I move onto the next expansion? My favorite destinations would be full and I may need to set more. I cannot believe that you cannot remove them and one would be stuck all the way to Shadowbringers with their ARR favorites because they did not know

[obsidian patio]

Again, you can change them freely

Just interact with the Aetheryte you want to make favorited

[calm phoenix]

Does it ask you which one do you want to replace?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[jovial mortar]

How come some people on the auction house have the Crystarium or Kugane symbols next to their names on listings?

[open ember]

Also if you have the companion app it gives you another free favorited destination

[obsidian patio]

That’s where their retainers are deployed to

[calm phoenix]

How to get that app?

[open ember]

App store

[jovial mortar]

Oh so it's not a city state thing, gotcha

Thanks

[obsidian patio]

You can talk to the retainer vocates in those areas to have them be “stationed” there

Same with Ishgard

[open ember]

Just type in "ff14 companion app"

[jovial mortar]

Ah

Ok thanks!

[open ember]

Or Google play store

[calm phoenix]

Is it free and is it on Android or iOS? I have an Android

[open ember]

Yes it's free

For both systems

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.square_enix.android_googleplay.ffxivcomapp_n

[sand stratus]

you have to buy the premium companion app service for the extra favored destination though, don't you?

[obsidian patio]

No

[open ember]

No

[sand stratus]

oh

[obsidian patio]

You simply need to have linked your account to the app

[open ember]

I don't have premium and have an extra destination

[keen dagger]

ooh interesting thanks @obsidian patio

[obsidian patio]

You could immediately uninstall it afterwards if you want

[vestal needle]

how does levequest work for gathering? whenever i go to the guy, i see none there

[calm phoenix]

What do the premium features have that the base app does not? And how much is the premium version?

[obsidian patio]

For ARR Only specific towns have crafter/gatherer leves

[open ember]

that I don't know because I never purchased premium. Sorry T.T

[obsidian patio]

What’s your level currently?

[vestal needle]

37

[obsidian patio]

Premium app lets you do more market/inventory related stuff in the app itself, gives you another retainer, and a second page for the chocobo saddlebag

[vestal needle]

so to see the levequest, ineed to be a certain level?

[honest anvil]

what’s “better” for a new miner to do? leve or Ishgard? better here means you get more gears or stuff or level out of it for the same amount of time ig ..

[obsidian patio]

IMO premium is not worth it unless you really see yourself making use of the app features

Since buying 2 retainers get you more inventory space than premium

[calm phoenix]

Which are?

Buying stuff off the Marketboard while not playing, really

[sleek roost]

Most people, like me, who use the premium companion app only use it for the expanded Chocobo bag space and extra retainer

And even then its usually more economical to buy extra retainers

@honest anvil leve is more exp/time efficient

[obsidian patio]

@vestal needle since you’re 37, Coerthas Central Highlands down again the observatorium would have leves for you

[sleek roost]

I dont even have the app installed if that tells you how useful it is

[calm phoenix]

Is the premium version a one time cost or monthly charge?

[sleek roost]

Monthly

[obsidian patio]

After that it’s whitebrim also in CCH for 40-45, and then Mor Dhona for 45-50

[warped nest]

But leve is limited by leve quota, you have a maximum of 99, and it regenerate 3 every 12 hours iirc

[sleek roost]

I wouldn't even begin to worry about things like extra retainers or the app until you're at level 80. Then if you get into crafting or something and need more than the two free retainers you can think about it then

[faint flare]

@nova umbra dot the aquarous and burn it down with festers. You can use Bahamut akh morns to nuke a eletric then tunnel the WWs into aquarous. Coordinate with your DPS partner so they nuke the othet aquarous

[warped nest]

Meanwhile, you can grind as many Ishgardian restoration as you like, plus restoration is less demanding with your gearing

[elder sinew]

What's the time conversion in Eureka?

[honest anvil]

tks

[obsidian patio]

In terms of what, tig?

[elder sinew]

ingame to IRL

Like 10min eureka to 1min rl?

[obsidian patio]

Every eorzean minute is about 3 seconds

So an eorzean day is about 70 minutes

[elder sinew]

so 20:1 min, k

[vestal needle]

@obsidian patio thanks man

[flat pivot]

its been a while since i played ff14 so i forgot how to do some things. it seems that my hotkeys were reset for some reason. does anyone know how i can summon the mount that i bought on the mogstation?

[fringe scroll]

are we allowed to post ff14 twitch links in the discord some where?

[faint flare]

Character button > mount guide

[leaden ginkgo]

what class should i rush smn or ninja

[vestal needle]

@obsidian patio i actually dont see any levequest right now

do you have any idea why?

im in the regiona nd my level is for that region too

[obsidian patio]

Is there a quest called “Leves of x” nearby?

With x being the name of the place

[outer plank]

hey, for ps4 controller play, is there a way to go to make it keyboard setting but keep the cross bars?

since i use press to talk on discord

[elder sinew]

Oh, is there glowy armor in the game?

[obsidian patio]

If not, check your starting city state’s adventurer’s guild for a different leve quest that will unlock that one

Only one set, really

[outer plank]

@elder sinew yes, not many but yes

[elder sinew]

What's the name/

[obsidian patio]

Which is the Elemental +1 stuff from Eureka

[outer plank]

idk, its like some level 50 armor too if i remember

[obsidian patio]

Which is where you make the stormblood relic weapon

[elder sinew]

Ooh

What color does it glow?

[obsidian patio]

Yeah but those have pretty mediocre glows isiah

@elder sinew https://xivstyle.com/combat/currency/elemental2/

[elder sinew]

Yea quite faint, heavy armor looks nice still

[vestal needle]

@obsidian patio i talked to the guy who had that questname already so now its gone. i went back to my starter adventure guild but, i dont see anything. Do i need to do level 1-15 levequest?

[obsidian patio]

So you have the quest then for unlocking the leves?

[vestal needle]

the leve of X quest is currently not in my quest list

[obsidian patio]

[leaden ginkgo]

rush smn or ninja?

[vestal needle]

thanks for trying. ill try to look for other things thjat it might be

[scenic matrix]

any opinions on waiting until finishing heavensward before buying xpac in order to stop urself from getting to far ahead levelwise?

[obsidian patio]

Completely unnecessary

If anything it’ll help stop you from hitting constant level gates in Shadowbringers

Assuming you’re not on a preferred world

[scenic matrix]

hmmm interesting okay

i'm still on msq lv 51 but just hit 60

[shut kelp]

is there any alternative to the sailor brais, for fashion report?

[obsidian patio]

Moonfire trunks

But if you’re following the info graph to the letter then you just need any dyeable legs

[shut kelp]

but i did have dyeable legs, and i got 94

[manic flare]

does everyone get the triple triad card when u defeat an extreme trial?

[glad comet]

no

[obsidian patio]

Did you meet everything else and have all slots with an item in them?

Like dyeing the items with the right dyes?

[drifting ruin]

Am I able to solo bismarck extreme as a level 80 drk?

[little swift]

The hurdle is the sanuwa add phase

If you can burst one quickly enough its doable

[drifting ruin]

oh dear

what if I have a friend pull the second one

will it make it a lot easier?

[little swift]

2 manning is 100% doable

1 man is really killing the first 1 before they get too close and tether each other

Reducing the damage they both take

[obsidian patio]

It also speeds up the enrage timer for that phase IIRC

Or that’s what it always felt like

But yeah to solo Bismarck you need a big burst class like WAR or SAM

[dusty terrace]

Can I change where the mid-battle text boxes appear, or their size? I can't find that in hud options, and it's pretty dangerous when I play healer and they tend to cover 1st tank hp on team list...

[obsidian patio]

Nope. :/

If you mean the ones in white

[dusty terrace]

Yeah, these ones

can I disable them? Do they appear in chat log?

[obsidian patio]

Pretty sure you can’t disable them, but they generally do appear in the chat log

[dusty terrace]

Ugh... This means I need to rework my whole UI

[crimson wind]

What are the mechanics for Argath?

I've done the fight millions of times

And still don't get the mechs

[obsidian patio]

White mask = do what the debuff wants you to do

[crimson wind]

I'm assuming when he tells you to flee, flee, and when he tells you to look away you dont look away

[obsidian patio]

Black mask = disobey the debuffs

[crimson wind]

white mask?

[obsidian patio]

It’s the mask that flashes on screen

[crimson wind]

ic

well, I'm dumb

[sturdy schooner]

I'm having a hard time trying to get 20K rank points on mining. I always end up 10-12K rank points every 3 hours.

[leaden ginkgo]

wtf is difference between scholar and white mage

[simple pine]

what is the chat dialog for the gratuity emote? (when targeting, and not targeting)

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo they have different skills?

[leaden ginkgo]

that isnt the questions

[remote lintel]

white mage has more regens scholar has more shields

[leaden ginkgo]

what makes them different lmao

they are both healers

[obsidian patio]

Scholar has a healing pet

[leaden ginkgo]

but how are the heals different

[remote lintel]

look at their skills

[faint flare]

White mage is reactive, scholar is more proactive

[granite swan]

WHM is more classic Cleric

[obsidian patio]

You can look at their actions with this website https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/battle/

[unborn bay]

How's palace of the dead, does everyone use that to level up an alt?

[remote lintel]

it caps at 60 and it doesn't give as much exp as spamming dungeons

but it's fine

[leaden ginkgo]

@faint flare how is scholar more proactive

[faint flare]

Whitr mage has strong upfront heals and regen, Scholar had shields and alot of off global heals that cost resources, along with a fairy pet

Because scholar has shields

[leaden ginkgo]

i see

[remote lintel]

because you need to shield

[faint flare]

And mitigation tools

[leaden ginkgo]

so is scholar more off healer?

[faint flare]

No

[remote lintel]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

ooooooooooooo

[faint flare]

Off healer doesn't exist

Healing load is shared between both

Equally

Scholar off globals heals are quite good but need some resource management to make full use

As you only get 3 aetherflow a minute

[calm phoenix]

Why isn't my hunting log giving me credit for some of the monsters that I defeated? I need to fill it in order to rank up in my grand company and it is annoying to not get credit for monsters that I defeated! I defeated one Arbor Buzzard, and when I moved onto my second, a third Arbor Buzzard joined in and I killed both yet the log only credited me with two. Similar story with the sewer mole. I attacked the first one and two joined in and I killed all three yet the log only credited me with two! Does anybody know what the problem could be?

[unborn bay]

@remote lintel so if you don't mind dungeon spamming, might aswell do that?

[leaden ginkgo]

i see ok thank youuu and wtf is off global heals lol?

[faint flare]

Heals that aren't on the global cooldown

[leaden ginkgo]

i see

[unborn bay]

I was asking because on youtube people seem to say Palace of the dead is poggers for leveling

[faint flare]

Aka "they're free healing

[remote lintel]

@calm phoenix are you sure they weren't actually different enemies

@unborn bay yes the highest level dungeon

[little swift]

You have one on ast

[granite swan]

@unborn bay Its awesome for DPS cuz its like 5-10 min que, instead of 20-30m

[little swift]

A bunch actually

[calm phoenix]

I am absolutely sure. They had the hunt icon over them, same name, same exact look

[fossil blade]

I downloaded my backup configurations but it looks like it reset it

[elder sinew]

PotD is good for leveling, after daily roulette dungeon

[fossil blade]

any idea wh

wh

why*

[unborn bay]

@granite swan fair point hahah

[elder sinew]

If you get to PotD 50, that's where ppl spam to lvl, dungeon lvl 51-60

[granite swan]

Ya if your new, 1-50 is a royal pita

[elder sinew]

At level 1 class/job. You get a full 4 levels in 1 run of 51-60

[sharp spire]

when doing msq, am i supposed to go out of my way and do hunting log monsters

[remote lintel]

did you cap on the hunt

no van

[granite swan]

I always get about 10-15 before i touch potd, hunt log is so much faster ;p

[remote lintel]

you don't need to

[leaden ginkgo]

@faint flare kk ty

[remote lintel]

@fossil blade did you not reupload them first with your more recent setup

[calm phoenix]

So that is all I get? Accusatory questioned and when I said that I am absolutely sure, I get absolutely nothing?

[fossil blade]

I did not 😦

[remote lintel]

I asked you a question moltres

and it was not accusatory

[little swift]

Wasn't accusatory at all

[sleek roost]

Chill Moltres

[remote lintel]

did you cap on the hunt log and take a screenshot

it won't count the third if you already filled the log for that monster

@fossil blade then it probably downloaded your old settings

[calm phoenix]

And I told you that I was absolutely sure that it was the same monster. Too late for screenshot now, I already defeated a fourth for both monsters to clear it which I should not have had to do

[remote lintel]

🤷

[granite swan]

Well dont kill them in super quick succession, the server has "Ticks" and it sometimes cant count that fast

[rugged flicker]

So I'm able to use trained eye to 100% grade 3 skybuilders' long boots instantly, yet the first time I did it, when I didn't notice that I could use it, I couldn't get it anywhere near 100%...

[faint flare]

Sounds like major gear upgrades needed or just better rotation

[iron fiber]

Relax

People who answer questions in here are volunteers doing it for the benefit of others in the community

Nobody is entitled to an answer

[fresh lodge]

You really need to chill and not get so hostile in this channel, nobody is perfect and sometimes people get it wrong, you don't need to go off on them constantly

[warped seal]

Not to mention that if the behavior doesn't improve I'll just lock you out and make you Google your problems. I've got more than half a dozen mentors and they've all had something to say. None of it was nice.

[quiet crystal]

nah

oh

discord text scroll is annoying

[granite swan]

I hate doin job quests and the NPCs get all these cool things you never get >.>

[warped seal]

So I'm able to use trained eye to 100% grade 3 skybuilders' long boots instantly, yet the first time I did it, when I didn't notice that I could use it, I couldn't get it anywhere near 100%...the recipe must be designated lvl 70 or below.
@rugged flicker

Fucking quotes. The recipe has to be designated as level 70 or below.

[rugged flicker]

Yeah but it should be much easier to craft than that then.

Not barely even making any progress each time I use my best skills

[warped seal]

Your control may be too low.

[obsidian patio]

Veneration+Groundwork once or twice should be more than enough to cap it

Craftsmanship*, but yeah

[rugged flicker]

It's at 2311

[warped seal]

Uh

[quiet crystal]

Then it must be your rotation problem

[warped seal]

What's your macro looking like

[rugged flicker]

Don't use them, not really a hardcore crafer.

[quiet crystal]

2311 is control?

[warped seal]

crafting large amounts of items by hand is nutty

[quiet crystal]

For that, you can normally get away with reflect > max inner > byregot

I did

600 crafts all manually when I leveled my crafters

[rugged flicker]

Well I don't craft large amount of items so...

[quiet crystal]

Are you utilizing your inner stacks?

[obsidian patio]

This is my universal macro for pretty much everything at/below 70 that I can’t quicksynth:

/ac “Trained Eye” <wait.3>
/ac “Veneration” <wait.2>
/ac “Groundwork” <wait.3>

[rugged flicker]

Gotta be honest, I don't understand most of the mechanics behind crafting, I just put up a few buffs beforehand and try to get the quality as high as I can.

[warped seal]

Just brute forcing a 70 craft usually has reflect > Manip > prudent spam > byregot

[calm phoenix]

Do certain monsters only appear in certain areas at certain times or somethingt? My hunting log claims Coeurl Pup is located in Upper La Noscea in Oakwood but there is no Coeurl Pups anywhere near that area! Does anybody know what the problem could be?

[fringe lotus]

Is there a way that I can get Hancock's shades?

[obsidian patio]

Those should be near the waterfall all the way to the northwest

[remote lintel]

@fringe lotus pince-nez has a similar model

[strange cove]

yo i just bought the game from steam and a lot of ppl in guides im watching are talking about this heavensward thing

what is it

[elder sinew]

how do you get into chocobo racing?

[obsidian patio]

It’s the first expansion

[little swift]

they appear, you're just looking in the wrong place

[calm phoenix]

Going not too far northwest tells me that I am no longer in Oakwood but another area

[strange cove]

it doesnt appear in steam does it come along when you buy it from steam?

[obsidian patio]

The locations suggested can be inaccurate

Yes it’s part of the base game

[strange cove]

oh ok

[remote lintel]

base game is a realm reborn + heavensward

and the story is one continuous thing so you cant just jump in to heavensward

[strange cove]

i chose lancer btw is it a good class?

[faint flare]

Yes

All jobs are

[strange cove]

is there anything urgent i have to do rn other than do my class quests and my main quests?

[faint flare]

Those are your top priority

[strange cove]

or like anything i should understand

[iron fiber]

Helps to do any you find along the way

[faint flare]

There's some blue quests you should do. Like the one for challenge logs in limsa upper and stuff

[iron fiber]

But enjoy things at your own pace

[raw solstice]

for reference if you're ever looking for a hunting log target, you can always google it and click on the first or second link

[calm phoenix]

I went as far north and as far west as I could and no Courel Pup? 😦

[raw solstice]

and it'll give you coordinates for where to find them

that's what I did for this case, it told me (x9,y21)

[vagrant lodge]

im trying to get another friend to play with us but our world says "new characters cannot be made on this world at this time"? can we get around this? is this world just locked now for some reason?

[raw solstice]

are you at those coordinates?

[remote lintel]

@vagrant lodge some worlds are labeled as congested, which means no characters can be created on them until next patch

[obsidian patio]

What world are you trying to play on?

[remote lintel]

and we don't have a date for next patch

[faint flare]

Congested worlds cant be made on or transferred to but you can world visit to them

[vagrant lodge]

so my friend can't play with us?

[faint flare]

World visit

[remote lintel]

he can make a character on the same DC and world visit

but cant join your fc

[vagrant lodge]

can he transfer later?

[faint flare]

When it's not congested

[remote lintel]

after it stops being congetsed

[faint flare]

Yes

Which should be after next patch if SE deems it not worthy of being congested

[granite swan]

No way to remove the buttcape on the lv 60 paladin armor is there? 😦

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[granite swan]

rip

[iron fiber]

Butt capes, shoulder pads and the machinist lunchbox is an unfortunate fact of life in the game

You get used to it

[faint flare]

The buttcape is the most important part

It protects the sensitive area

[granite swan]

Ya but its annoying when walking, it looks wrong somehow lol

ah its cause the feet keep clipping through

[calm phoenix]

Found them! right around a corner at those coordinates. Before I slay them, I want to ask: I have seen people with those as mounts. How do I get a Courel Pup mount?

[obsidian patio]

ARR collector’s edition, IIRC

[faint flare]

There's a courel mount. Dark Knights get a black one after tanking enough instances

[remote lintel]

panther*

important distinction

[obsidian patio]

either that or the ARR preorder which is not obtainable anymore

[faint flare]

Eh close enough

[remote lintel]

[calm phoenix]

Do I need to buy the full collector's version or is the "collector's edition upgrade" enough to get the mounts?

[obsidian patio]

You can just digitally upgrade ARR by itself through the mogstation

In the “additional services” section

[calm phoenix]

That is what I was asking. I did not know if that was enough for the mount

[raw solstice]

it is

upgrading is simply moving from base to collectors. Purchasing the full is moving from nothing to the collectors

they end up at the same place, the collector's edition

[calm phoenix]

Can I upgrade at any time and get the mount or is it some limited time special or something?

[obsidian patio]

No time limit to upgrading

[tulip plover]

When you buy phantasia do i need to log out and back in

Oh nvm

[silent zodiac]

Hey everyone! New to the game and looking to start with my friends. A few questions:

1. Are the steam servers separate from the launcher (out of steam) servers? So, if two of us install on steam, and one of us installs on launcher, can all 3 of us play together?

2. If they are separate, which one does the community consider to be the "main" one, or where would we find the higher population of the two, if applicable?

[faint flare]

No

[warped nest]

Same server

[faint flare]

Everyone plays together

[warped nest]

For PC, steam, and PS4

[stone niche]

Does spiritbonding with ironworks crafting gear make it market prohibited?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[silent zodiac]

Wow, even console is together?

[stone niche]

What can do with it once Im done using the gear?

[faint flare]

The moment you use it to craft something, its bound

[silent zodiac]

So I play with PS4 players?

[warped nest]

Yes

[faint flare]

Desynth or toss at grand company

[silent zodiac]

That's sick

[faint flare]

And all servers are pretty populated

There's no really bad server

[warped nest]

Because this is not a PvP shooting game, console and PC can play together

[faint flare]

Plus everything is cross server within the data centre so

[warped nest]

Some PC players even play using a controller

[silent zodiac]

another question: we come from WoW, where healers, and ESPECIALLY tanks, are pretty scarce, moreso when leveling. Should one of us go tank/heals if low queue times are important to us? Or is this game more balanced and we should all go DPS

[warped nest]

@silent zodiac Dps has slower queue

[faint flare]

Tanks and heals will always be in demand in any game really

[warped nest]

But it won't be the end of the world

[silent zodiac]

significantly? and what is more needed, tanks or heals?

[proud willow]

healers are more scarce than tanks, at least pre-80

[faint flare]

Healers moreso

[remote lintel]

you can only have 2 dps in a dungeon anyway

so if you have more than 2 people you can't queue together

[warped nest]

There are 4 tanks, 3 healers, and 10 Dps jobs

[silent zodiac]

gotcha, last question: how reasonable is it to level up a dps/healer at the same time?

[faint flare]

^

[lavish vortex]

hi!, can you get the glowing elemental armor and the Demi Ozma mount without actually getting and completing a relic weapon?

[faint flare]

Easy

[warped nest]

@silent zodiac you can level it all on one character

[faint flare]

Healers do very respectable dps

[remote lintel]

also if you level arcanist you get a dps and a healer in one

[faint flare]

Plus instant ques make levelling healer easy

[remote lintel]

since they share levels

[rugged flicker]

Wait so can you not gather grade 2 materials anymore?

[faint flare]

No

[silent zodiac]

even if you've never played before? I know you can have it all on one character, but is it reasonable to expect i can keep 2 up at the same time as my friends who are only doing one without holding them back?

[remote lintel]

how would you hold them back

[obsidian patio]

Only the grade 2 artisan materials are still around for the achievements

[remote lintel]

you can level pretty easily

[warped nest]

It is very easy to grind for exp

[rugged flicker]

Oh, it's an artisanal lizard

[faint flare]

You can do 1 Job by story with friend and do dungeons with the oyhet

[warped nest]

Unless you insist that you only play as much as your friends do

[faint flare]

Story is your progress

Your level doesn't mean much

[silent zodiac]

by levelling two classes while they only do one? So they'd have to wait for me to catch up two classes at once

[proud willow]

Yeah that is the biggest culture shock: your level doesn't matter

your progress through the story does

[silent zodiac]

i'm brand new so if that is a stupid question i apologize

[remote lintel]

you can level the other class when theyre not playing

[proud willow]

because everything is locked behind story progress

[remote lintel]

nah ur good

[silent zodiac]

oh wow, so i can just all 10 DPS at the same time while levelling?

[remote lintel]

i mean

[warped nest]

You can do story with a healer, then you grind dungeons you have unlocked with a dps

[remote lintel]

that would take a lot of work

but yes

[proud willow]

okay, I exaggerated... it's not that level doesn't matter

because there is a level requirement for each of the story quests

[faint flare]

Most usually wait until later to level alt jobs when they have unlocked more levelling methods buuuuut yeah

[warped nest]

There is no reason to massively outlevel story, is a better way to put it

The game doesn't punish you if you want to try other jobs

[remote lintel]

also everything is locked behind story

[warped nest]

It is very easy to catch up

[remote lintel]

including leveling methods

[silent zodiac]

So I should get my main job to a healthy level to do story, then if i choose i can hop to a lower level alt job, catch it up untill i hit a level road block, swap back to main, repeat?

[faint flare]

There's no real level blocks

[warped nest]

As unusual as this is, XIV basically let you do what you want

You can play one job all the way to the end, no punishment

[winter nimbus]

what's a good dps class at level 60 cap

[lavish vortex]

hi!, does anyone know if you can get the glowing elemental armor and the Demi Ozma mount from Eureka without actually getting and completing a relic weapon?

[warped nest]

You can juggle 3 jobs, as long as you are willing to spend time to grind

[faint flare]

You need the weapon for the armour

But dont need it for omza

[warped nest]

what's a good dps class at level 60 cap
@winter nimbus whichever one you can play well

[silent zodiac]

Alright, that about covers it

thanks guys!

[faint flare]

The guy won't sell you the base elemental armour until you get a pagos weapon

[lavish vortex]

@faint flare thanks!, and for the armor, do i need one full augmented weapon? or just to a certain point?

[faint flare]

Just to pagos

[winter nimbus]

@winter nimbus whichever one you can play well
@warped nest what if i can play every class well

[rugged flicker]

How exactly can you use reflect to increase your inner quiet stack if it's only available on the first move before you can even use inner quiet?

[lavish vortex]

@faint flare thanks!

[warped nest]

What's the context in picking the best level 60 Dps?

[faint flare]

Fully complete pagos weapon and you'll be able to get the armour

[warped nest]

Are you trying to solo POTD?

[rugged flicker]

Oh I see...

[warped nest]

Also, what do you mean by good? Good as in, can do lvl 60-80 story?

Help out in farming lvl 60 ex?

Solo POTD?

Or just wondering which Dps can do the most output at lvl 60?

[opal vortex]

I got a doud

Palace of death rewards?

[rugged flicker]

In what universe is it even possible to 100% an expert recipe? I can't even get the progress to 100% ~.~

And this was a grade 2!

[tidal remnant]

is there a command that makes you target someone or an NPC with a text command? WoW had something, it was particularly useful for dealing with crowded areas

[warped nest]

You get better gear

[glad comet]

@rugged flicker aesthetic gear, maxed out

overmelded

[faint flare]

Expert receipes are meant for basically BiS fear

[remote lintel]

@tidal remnant 0 on the numpad is the default button to select the closest thingy

that isnt a player

[faint flare]

Grade 2 was made for BiS facet gear

[opal vortex]

There is any list of the rewards i can get in palace of death?

[warped nest]

Try to Google

[faint flare]

Aethese makes the grade 2 easier and mostly macroable

[rugged flicker]

Got HQ aestetic gear, most of it is overmelded by two slots.

[warped nest]

Learn how to craft

[tidal remnant]

@tidal remnant 0 on the numpad is the default button to select the closest thingy
@remote lintel yeah, I am aware of that. but that is not necessarily what I am looking for

[faint flare]

You really need to know how to craft for expert receipes

[rugged flicker]

@warped nest Learn not to be a dick?

[faint flare]

There's a guide for expert receipes somewhere

[warped nest]

You want to tag Vinyl too?

[faint flare]

Probably pinned in #doh-dol-lounge

[warped nest]

High level recipes are meant to be hard

[rugged flicker]

YOU DON'T SAY!

[glad comet]

I'd say experiment with teamcraft

[rugged flicker]

WOW THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSIGHT!

[remote lintel]

chill dude

[faint flare]

You need to make use of the procs

[raven sage]

Gato the answer to your question is exactly what they said

Getting mad won't help you

[warped nest]

XIV has in game crafting simulation now, doesn't it?

[proud willow]

If successfully crafting an expert recipe was something that could be explained in one sentence on discord, it wouldn't be hard

[faint flare]

Lile using manipulation/mend when you got the CP reduce one

[raven sage]

You just need to practice before you go into it

[rugged flicker]

It was mostly Lchronos I was mad at, everyone else is cool.

[faint flare]

Or rapid snyth with the success rate

[proud willow]

It goes beyond "use this proc on this, use that proc on that"

you need to actually know your entire kit really well

Have a read

[rugged flicker]

Also I have been putting off finishing overmelding my gear because I've been trying to save gil by just using yellow scrips to buy the materia.

[granite swan]

How big of an upgrade is Aug Scaevan Armor over the freebie relic gear? i cant find stats on paladin armor >.>

[rugged flicker]

Not quite as fast as just spending gil on it :x

[remote lintel]

very

[faint flare]

Scaevan is i400

[warped nest]

@granite swan Aug Scaeven is the best lvl 70 gear

[faint flare]

Beginner lv70 gear is i290

Sooooooooooo

Yeaaaah

[warped nest]

It will last you into lvl 74-76 story contents

[granite swan]

ah

[faint flare]

110 ilvls

[warped nest]

Emphasis on story contents

[faint flare]

Of difference

[granite swan]

ok thanks

[rugged flicker]

At this rate when do you think we'll get to the four figure range on ilevel? Assuming level 100 is where they stop raising the level cap.

[warped nest]

We are gaining around 130-140 ilvl per expansion

[remote lintel]

if it ever happens it will be a hell of a long time later

[warped nest]

Shadowbringers will cap at 530 ish?

[faint flare]

I think they talked about doing a stat squish at some point

So

So we don't get tooooo ridiculous

[rugged flicker]

Oh, for some reason I thought that it increased exponentially.

[faint flare]

Yeah we'll end shb with 530

[warped nest]

@granite swan upgrade priority is weapon, chest, armors, waist/accessories

When you are buying Aug Scaeven

[faint flare]

Started Shadowbringers with i400, end with 530

So if we dont get a stat/ilvl squish then probably like 3-4 more expansions

[granite swan]

Hm i got some Dai Ryuka from between stories, think that would be enough for trust dungeons?

[warped nest]

At least upgrade your weapon

[faint flare]

370 is like the baseline to enter

[warped nest]

Yes, Dai Ryumyaku stuff will be enough for lvl 71/73 dungeons

[granite swan]

oki

[warped nest]

Lvl 73 dungeons will drop i400 gears

[granite swan]

k

[warped nest]

Matching Augmented Scaeven's ilvl

[olive heath]

do you gather cinnamon from botany?

[warped nest]

I believe so

[olive heath]

thanks :)

[warped nest]

@olive heath use Garlandtools (website) to look up where you can acquire items

[remote lintel]

you can buy it

[proud willow]

yes, though you can also buy it extremely cheap from a vendor

[remote lintel]

from these people

[granite swan]

4 gil per piece

[serene bison]

Is it possible to Dye a Glamour Plate?

[faint flare]

Yes

[olive heath]

thanks guys had to get it for a supply and provisioning mission for my grand company was gonna start doing squadron stuff to find out because I forgot it was a thing I neglected to do the challenge log to get one more recvruit

[serene bison]

How do I do so?

[faint flare]

You put the item on the plate and dye it there

[warped nest]

Open the glamour plate

Right click

Dye

Take note that the dye stays on the glamour plate itself

[faint flare]

And it will only be dyed on that plate without dying the actual item

[serene bison]

onthis window?

[faint flare]

In the dresser

[warped nest]

Glamour dresser

[serene bison]

ooo

[warped nest]

Where you make and manage your plate

[serene bison]

Ok ok that makes sense

sorry still new

[warped nest]

Np

Everyone here was at some point

Game can be very confusing

[remote lintel]

be warned that if you dye it after you put it on the plate, and then remove the item from the plate, the dye will be gone @serene bison

[rugged flicker]

Why the fuck isn't the /read emote a constant animation? <.<

Kind of regretting buying it now...

[faint flare]

🤷‍♂️

[remote lintel]

if youre a sch/smn you can read 24/7

[rugged flicker]

They should patch that.

Yeah but I mean, summoning tomes aren't exactly interesting reading material.

[warped nest]

@serene bison if you don't mind me being long winded

[granite swan]

My book with 2 ipads on it says otherwise :p

[warped nest]

I have a hat dyed with expensive black dye. Now, whenever I make a new plate with the hat

The hat on these plates will automatically come with the expensive black dye.

I can dye the same hat on these plate with any color, but these will never affect the original hat

[serene bison]

ooo

[warped nest]

And if and when I remove these plates, those other colors are forever lost

But my hat stays expensive black

[remote lintel]

which is what i was saying but way more detailed

[warped nest]

I figure a use case is more helpful

[remote lintel]

i didnt want to type

[serene bison]

Ok so I'm in the dress

[warped nest]

XD

[serene bison]

and highlighted an item but dont see dye option unless am blind

[remote lintel]

are you sure the item is dyeable in the first place?

[warped nest]

Screenshot

And what cerberus said

[remote lintel]

dyeable items have a clear circle in the corner

[serene bison]

yea it is

[faint flare]

Did you unlock dyes

In vesper bay

[warped nest]

The first item can be dyed

The second item can't

[serene bison]

[remote lintel]

yes it can chronos

its the rebel coat thing

[warped nest]

My bad

[serene bison]

Let me see this quest

[remote lintel]

probably need to unlock dyes

[serene bison]

ty I was confused

[candid phoenix]

How long does it typically take to find a party for Bowl of Embers? It's my MSQ right now and i've been waiting like 10 mins

[serene bison]

as hell

[remote lintel]

if youre dps 10 mins is nothing

[serene bison]

To the quest hunting area!

[ember bronze]

Does the location you station your retainer at matter for the items that you're selling on the market?

[serene bison]

ty lads

[warped nest]

@serene bison btw, if you dye the gear in dresser after you make a plate, the plate won't have the dye

[faint flare]

Not really

[candid phoenix]

i'm tank

[remote lintel]

just wait it out

[warped nest]

Plate are essentially snapshots

[serene bison]

oh it's already on the gear I'm wearing

the plate is

[calm phoenix]

I need to kill some Ixali Straightbreaks for my hunting log but those monsters are nonexistent! The log states that they are in the North Shroud at Alder Springs but nothing could be further from the truth! I spent the last 15 minutes searching what little area there is to Alder Springs and places around outside of that area and no Ixali Straighbacks! I do not think that I have EVER seen them in the game!! Does anybody know where the real place to find these is?

[candid phoenix]

that's the idea, just curious what the typical wait time is

[serene bison]

unless it doesn't show while equipped

[remote lintel]

about 10 mins for a tank but its kind of late now

@serene bison just make sure you reapply the coat to your plate after you dye it in the dresser

[leaden ginkgo]

If my wife plays in Cactuar, and I play on Adamatoise, can I send her stuff via in-game mail? Like gifts, gil, weps?

[serene bison]

ok!

[faint flare]

No sart

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay, thank you!

[tulip plover]

Whats a good way to get a quick lvl

[remote lintel]

roulette, highest lvl dungeon

[proud willow]

@calm phoenix I know exactly which ones you mean, because they're hard to find

[little swift]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Ixali_Straightbeak

coordinates in this link

[proud willow]

if you leave Fallgourd by the east exit and go south you'll see them

[leaden ginkgo]

How do I unlock savage raids?

[remote lintel]

you have to do all the normal raids

[leaden ginkgo]

Then where do I go to unlock the savage versions?

[faint flare]

Then talk to the respective unlock guy

[remote lintel]

which ones are you trying to get

[obsidian patio]

Eden’s are from Lewrey in mord souq

[leaden ginkgo]

The ones in specific I’m trying to unlock are the -scape ones

[remote lintel]

the machine thing in rhalgrs

[faint flare]

Then what wynne said

[obsidian patio]

Near the tomestone vendors in Rhalgr’s

[faint flare]

Oh delta

Rhalgars

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks

[calm phoenix]

Those are incorrect coordinates. those coordinates are over a border

[daring pier]

Hi, I can't get in to the Castrum Meridianum dungeon and the game told me to raise my item level

But I'm still lost

I was told I should get poetics but idk how to get the currency for that

[faint flare]

Do your job quests

[obsidian patio]

@calm phoenix should be here

[faint flare]

You get a coffer with i90 gear

[daring pier]

I already did them all for arr

[faint flare]

Open the coffer

You were given

[daring pier]

Oh right the coffer

I didn't notice they gave me one, sorry

[calm phoenix]

That looks to be a completely different area than what the hunting log tells me. It says Alder Springs North Shroud in the log but nothing in North Shroud matches the picture

[obsidian patio]

Zoomed out for better reference

And yes, sometimes the suggested spot can be inaccurate due to it not being specific

[calm phoenix]

I do not see that area even in that. Looks like a northwest-bound path in the first picture which is nonexistent in the second picture

[obsidian patio]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[calm phoenix]

I just found the area but no Ixali Straighbeaks anywhere near there

[tulip plover]

Ok whats a quick way to get a lvl when you are dps

This queue

[granite swan]

Palace of the Dead / Heaven on High

[faint flare]

Beast tribes if you haven't done them yet

[calm phoenix]

Found them. Further south

[delicate stone]

So I just hit lvl 80 on my 3 gatherers and I bought the relic weapons. What should I do next and what's the best way to make gil with them? Thanks :3
