primal relic
proud willow
If you just want to run it to 50 to unlock HoH, don't worry about what class you do it on
twilit arch
use spoiler tags
potent lava
You should see itit while doingthe hw msq
little swift
thats fine here use spoiler tags
primal relic
How do you do that?
twilit arch
||like this||
primal relic
||is it working?||
primal relic
||So can Minfilia not fight? Or is she just a charismatic leader?||
granite swan
2nd one
twilit arch
a little of both
she isn't really a fighter. her duties are largely to be an administrator for the scions
round whale
can i have more than a class on a single character?
twilit arch
yes, you can be all jobs on one characters
granite swan
you can have every class on 1 char
round whale
then whats the point for making multiple
twilit arch
playing on different datacenters with friends, hardcore raider getting around weekly lockout or subbing in for a group, hardcore crafters having more space, roleplay
wanting to be different races but too cheap/poor to buy fantasias all the time
primal relic
Oh I see, with this line of work I would assume she had some skill or at least a magical barrier or something.
twilit arch
newp
primal relic
||Who is the mage guy they keep referencing? That taught Urianger and that one girl? Did I miss the explanation early on?||
primal relic
Yeah that was the only one I can think of.
polar hound
Do the binding coil raids for more lore about that one
primal relic
Oh alright I’ll do em later today then.
proud willow
if you're interested, Ethys Asher on Youtube has a half hour video summarizing the entire 1.0 plot
so you have a better idea of the events that led up to the start of this game
remote lintel
louisoix is the guy who taught the scions
basically
he founded the original scions before they were called scions
round whale
is there a data centre that specialises in raids?
primal relic
||So what exactly does the WoL blessing do exactly? From what I could tell, it protects the WoL during certain moments, protect certain individuals, it can also cast a veil/barrier over an area preventing “normal” Ascian from trespassing except for the extremist and one leader(?), and do something w/ the primal crystal?||
twilit arch
aether/primal have a bigger raid scene, but its not like they specialize in raiding no
remote lintel
it varies depending on the person ark
little swift
on top of that, JP data centres have higher clear rates compared to NA and EU as well
remote lintel
the blessing is different for everyone
twilit arch
no
primal relic
How bout for the protagonist?
twilit arch
blessing is basically you've shown you're worthy individual
you're confusing echo with blessing
which is not the same
primal relic
||Why did he point out “oh hey you don’t have the light blessing anymore. Now I can enter and do this and that”||
remote lintel
if you're in na primal or aether
round whale
what about primal or aether?
primal relic
It also zoomed on the WoL so I assume it cuz I recently lost it.
remote lintel
if you're in na pick primal or aether
twilit arch
||when you go to the keeper of the lake, midgardsormr decides to test you to see if you're actually worth of the blessing. So he locked it away, which in turn gave nabrialles the in he needed. since your blessing was protecting the waking sands from him and other sundered ascians||
round whale
but what world shd i select tho
primal relic
Oooh that’s what he meant.
remote lintel
world doesn't matter
oak smelt
is spamming daily frontline the fastest/easiest way to earn wolfmarks?
polar hound
A preferred one if there is one, prolly
remote lintel
doesn't matter
twilit arch
aether and primal are basically on par with each other for amount of savage clears
primal relic
||Also can no else see this dragon? It just popped up during the funeral but the other scion didn’t say anything.||
twilit arch
yeah, basically he only shows up for you
twilit arch
later on when he chooses to show himself
he does
talking specifically about the moment ark's discussing, not stuff that happens later
remote lintel
so it's like a moogle thing where he can make himself invisible to other people
gloomy ice
Despite his current size, he's still an incredibly old and powerful dragon that can do some crazy stuff.
primal relic
||How long does it take for a person to reincarnate in this world? Will I see a reincarnation of Mo later in MSQ?||
Don’t answer 2nd one
MyB
terse sluice
hey i just started and i wonder how long are the queues for healers in dungeon finder? it says thats the average is 5min which is long for a healer but that might be because its the first dungeon correct me if im wrong
twilit arch
reincarnation doesn't work the way i think you think it works
basically when most people die, their soul/aether/whathaveyou is blendered up in the lifestream and then spat back out into the world
remote lintel
@terse sluice it's just the average and also I don't think I've ever seen the queue display less than 5 min so it might be the minimum
twilit arch
so its not really going to be "them" as you knew them
gloomy ice
||Reincarnation can happen but there's no definite on who appears where. If any dead characters have been reincarnated, it's going to be a very long time until we meet them again. On top of that, they won't be the exact same person they were in a previous life.||
primal relic
Ohhhhh I see
terse sluice
oh ok ty
lone zephyr
Is there any way to hide accesories?
Like rings collars and earrings?
primal relic
Trying to think if there’s any story/lore question I might be confuse about before finishing post ARR.
gloomy ice
@lone zephyr There are glamour pieces called Emperor's New ___
remote lintel
post ARR basically wraps up everything
gloomy ice
Glam those on top of the piece you want to be invisible.
terse sluice
yeah it was 1min
twilit arch
you can glamour emperor's new x to hide accessories. Can buy them in vesper bay after you've done the quest "absolutely glamorous" which requires a lvl 15 crafter
or can buy from marketboard, though marketboard can be overpriced for them
primal relic
Yeah there was some stuff I was confuse about like the old guy. I assume it was trailer mage, but didn’t wanna look up in case I got spoiled.
proud willow
it's still possible to find spoilers by accident when you look up anything
so I understand the hesitation
primal relic
Oh, it isnt? They kept referencing him. So I thought it was.
remote lintel
the calamity and louisoix are just 1.0 stuff
shut kelp
is undraw, just useless?
remote lintel
yes
primal relic
I know some of it was for motivation and stuff for our cast.
glossy flare
it's a holdover from an older iteration of the card system
zinc orbitBOT
shut kelp
ahh
primal relic
|| So what was Gaius intention by restoring the ultima weapon? I thought it was for taking down the primal, so that the gods can’t intervene in their world? But he uses it like a nuclear weapon to threaten the other kingdom, but then later he has a line “such destruction..... was NOT my intention.” What did he expect was going to happen?||
slate crow
If I skip the end credits to Stormblood, will I miss the Shadowbringers title?
proud willow
It is safe to skip credits, the cutscene that comes after the credits won't be skipped
for all instances of credits in the whole game
gloomy ice
||It was to be a tool of subjugation but not outright destruction. He wasn't told about the Heart of Sabik or the Ultima spell contained within. He didn't want to crater Eorzea. He wanted to conquer it for the empire.||
slate crow
Hopefully it’s not long.
glossy flare
||Gaius is not above killing to get what he wants, however he has no joy in doing so. He's a pragmatist. So when he says the destruction bit, what he means is that he doesn't want meaningless destruction just to prove a point. If you deserve a nuke, then you get nuked. But that's just something necessary then, not something he wanted.||
slate crow
It’s 4:33am
proud willow
||Gaius wants the Eorzean city-states to be under Garlean control, not nuked.||
twilit arch
||Gaius wanted to take over Eozre, in what was basically a 'save them from themselves' type mindset. The Whole "such devastation was not my intention" was in regards to lalabread using the ultima spell, gaius never intended for that to happen||
primal relic
Oh yeah I forgot he was also doing that. All of it make sense now that you guys put it that way. Thanks, for answer my msq/lore questions. Also can you link the 1.00 story explaination? I don’t want to click the wrong one and get spoiled on upcoming things.
proud willow
primal relic
Thank you, I’ll watch it as I finish up last chapter of post arr.
slate crow
I thought the Shadowbringers title would pop up. But it didn’t.
Just some flavor text which was still cool and ominous
narrow vale
Why is it raining so much? Every important cutscene in game I experience is either at night or raining. The first time I went to the Far East it was raining all the while the narrator is talking about how beautiful the city is and it was just dark and raining. I really hate the rain
Which is ironic because where I live it is on a drought and there's wildfire
twilit arch
just unlucky timing
olive heath
why must this game have so many abilities?
slate arrow
It's a tab targeting MMORPG
It would be super boring if you just mashed one button all the time
It's not an action game where you're looking for specific windows to attack
olive heath
its like trying to play keyboard DDR T_T
slate arrow
For the most part, you're always attacking something, so the rotations are complex as a result
leaden ginkgo
skill bloat... some people think it a game is more complex and better if you got 50 skills on your bar
slate arrow
Believe it or not, it used to be worse.
PLD after the role skill change in Stormblood needed 4 hotbars, or almost 48 slots for all skills
obsidian patio
A lot of melee jobs used to have a random DoT action all by itself not in a combo
olive heath
like I dont mind having 2 hotbars fill up but 3 or 4? screw that fam
crisp ether
just dont pull a blizzard and prune so hard you take the fun out of the classes
slate arrow
No job goes beyond 3 hotbars, fortuntaely
leaden ginkgo
yeah - a lot of the old MMOs were going the skill bloat way
untold sand
someone said theres downtime at 2am pst. aint it that time currently in america?
slate arrow
There's no scheduled downtime currently
deft yarrow
are there exp boosting manuals DoL similar to the DoH ones you can buy from grand companies?
twilit arch
yes
crisp ether
yep
vocal shell
yes
slate arrow
The next major downtime will probably be for the 5.35 patch
deft yarrow
kk thanks ❤️ ❤️
twilit arch
DoL are survival manuals
deft yarrow
and I should use them if I can afford to buy them?
twilit arch
yes
crisp ether
they get reduced effectiveness above certain levels
untold sand
even at 2am theres too many on balmung lol
deft yarrow
also for mining I just want to mine to lvl up?
deft yarrow
do the skills help? or should I just do quick mining?
slate arrow
HQ skills increase exp gained
crisp ether
mine each resource once to get the bonus exp for doign that
sullen pulsar
is 12 the hard limit for weekly custom deliveries no mattle how many contact you unlock
crisp ether
then just mine whatever you need at the time
slate arrow
specifically, HQ gathering gives +300% exp
twilit arch
yes, 12 is the limit
slate arrow
@sullen pulsar yes
sullen pulsar
ah thanks
crisp ether
its a good idea to also level a corrosponding crafting skill to use your resources on
quaint forge
Now I finished ShB MSQs, should I go ahead farm for red and blue tomestones thingie for Lv80 gearing content to iLv430-500?
deft yarrow
kk thanks for the advice ❤️ ❤️
slate arrow
Have you done up until "to be continued"?
young fjord
You get 430 for free
quaint forge
I haven’t reach the “to be continued” yet
deft yarrow
sorry another question, is there a quick way to check if I have mined something before other than the gathering log?
like from the actual mining interface?
quaint forge
Plus, I gotta unlock other blue quests first
crisp ether
if you look on the icon of the item if you haven't mined it, it will have a little icon on the lower left of it with a ? on it
showing you haven't mined it yet
quaint forge
A lot of 
popped up
young fjord
@deft yarrow Yes, it will have a "?" next to the image if you have not mined it before
deft yarrow
ahh ok cool ❤️ ❤️
glossy flare
you should still have a free set of 430 armor from the 5.0 msq, just for the record
(no jewelry tho)
slate arrow
tl;dr
either buy 480 gear off the marketboard
or
get 430 from Grendolt/Final Days/Bonus Dungeons
450 - Eden Raids (Started in the crystarium)
480 - Eden Raids part 2
This is the fastest and cheapest ways to get up to 480
then from 480 you can do the stuff which goes to 490 and 500
(Alliance Raids, Allegory Tomes, Eden Savage)
quaint forge
Mb is usually the one I cannot afford to everything, so I went to Eureka
quaint forge
I heard ppl make profit out of gil
marble drift
with alot of time. its pretty inefficient
slate arrow
Only sometimes. Plus, demand for Eureka items isn't very high.
It exists, but it's not a large unit mover
quaint forge
So I just farming tomes normally?
young fjord
If you want gear, don't go eureka
slate arrow
You farm current tomes via current content
In this case, level 80 dungeons
All current expert dungeons (Allegory/Timed Tomestones) Are MSQ, all level 80 dungeons are MSQ except for two, which are in Crystrarium and the bottom floor of Eulmore respectively
glossy flare
you should have a few in the crystarium that unlock some lvl 80 dungeons
2 more will be unlocked by the 5.x storylines
marble drift
hold on. if you're at "to be continued" in Shadowbringers
slate arrow
They're not
quaint forge
I finished The Twinning, Akadaemia
I’m about to head back to post msq
Doing other stuff later
white sierra
Is there a guide to anima relic weapon? I mostly leave that shit alone, but the dark knight one is too good to ignore
slate arrow
!faq anima
zinc orbitBOT
slate arrow
It's for 5.1, but the requirements haven't changed
glossy flare
@quaint forge If you haven't done so already I'd also recommend catching up on the Stormblood alliance raid series, it will unlock the quest to get the current relic weapons
quaint forge
I already finish stormblood alliance raid series
glossy flare
which is a free ilvl 485 weapon if nothing else
quaint forge
And a scape series as well
glossy flare
then there should be a new for you in Kugane
vocal shell
In the markets
quaint forge
Um really?
vocal shell
yes
quaint forge
Tbh, I haven’t done any extremes from every expansions
Especially most of optional dungeons
glossy flare
that questline doesn't include any extremes
(for now at least)
you do unlock another trial in the process though
slate arrow
You can skip extremes for now
quaint forge
I always leave Savages alone
vocal shell
Hail to the Queen should be the name
slate arrow
Unless you want the achievement or unlocking Ultimate fights they're basically never needed
Savage and Extreme are always optional
zinc orbitBOT
quaint forge
Just for fun challenge whatever
slate arrow
Well, there's a small purpose. Mainly if you want BiS for Ultimate fights
glossy flare
you would need to do extreme and savage content if you are aiming for max gear score or best in slot
slate arrow
(but even then, smart people have mathed out synced BiS gear for ultimates)
glossy flare
but if you don't care about that then there really isn't much point besides for the fun of it
quaint forge
In case I have nothing else to do
slate arrow
psh, there's a shitload of stuff to do
ny current timesink is building submarines for my FC
And before that, that was leveling
and before that, that was grinding sidequests and unlocking everything
crisp ether
ive spent like the past week doing ishgard restoration to train my DoH/DoL from 0
deft yarrow
I've been buying a bunch of umbrite with my poetics because I believe I read somewhere that it is need for the HW relic weapon?
slate arrow
yes, but you have other sinks before you get to that stage
namely, unidentified items
soft flicker
wow, fates definitely aren't worth doing post 50 o.o..
slate arrow
they get better later
past lantern
Is there any way to make the brightness a bit lower in ffxiv? I've been trying to get used to it for over a month but I guess I'm just getting old. Mostly like day time the floor and walls just seem way too bright to a point where it hurts my eyes
quaint forge
I always attend to FCs wedding even our FC alliances, RP party/events, bringing out CUL dishes for our endgame content peeps
slate arrow
Adjust your monitor settings
soft flicker
i just solod a fate and got 20k xp, i have 1.8m xp total lmao
slate arrow
ARR and HW fates are pretty poopy
deft yarrow
this 60-80 umbrite is for 1 weapon, right?
slate arrow
yep
soft flicker
gotcha gotcha
past lantern
I've tried monitor settings, but it makes dark places so dark that you can't even see your own character 😦
slate arrow
adjust your contrast settings then
quaint forge
I’m just getting my gears hands on in case any FC mates or my friends need my call.
slate arrow
Ask your FC mates if they'll make you a set of neo ishgard for cheap and/or free
The materials only take about an hour to get, probably less
Also saves you the hassle of grinding raids for gear as well
quaint forge
Oh, I got some HQ neo Ishgard Set, it’s a temporary safe security iLvl
slate arrow
You're all set tbh
480 is the minimum for current savage content
Anything more is a nice DPS buffer
quaint forge
Rip my gil, but that’s fine.
slate arrow
Shouldn't be more than maybe 600k a set, probably even less
soft flicker
definitely noticed as soon as i got to HW im struggling on mobs again
slate arrow
If you grind Zonureskin maps you could make that back in a week
quaint forge
Some of them are 300K
slate arrow
@quaint forge try server hopping then
quaint forge
Using visit worlds?
slate arrow
@soft flicker are you at or near item level 130?
soft flicker
let me check in one sec
slate arrow
HW scales to 120 and above
quaint forge
Oh welp, that does it. Thanks for the advice.
slate arrow
And even the the stat curve is still extremely harsh
shell dagger
quick question - is it possible to own an apartment and a house at the same time?
slate arrow
yes
soft flicker
im at 106
shell dagger

slate arrow
yep, that would do it
quaint forge
I was taking a day off in Eorzea doing BTN>CUL
slate arrow
Run 50/60/60 roulette/Alliance/MSQ to get more tomes, and spend them on Ironworks gear in Mor Dhona or one of the three city states
soft flicker
PJ O
slate arrow
You'll likely definitely need accessories at minimum
quaint forge
I capped my 2K poetics, so I wasted ironworks for my SAM.
It’s still Lv50 untouched
granite swan
How do you go about friend listing someone from another server? world visit that server?
soft flicker
id say i can pull 2 mobs and kill them but 3 would kill me
slate arrow
@granite swan yep
granite swan
k thx
slate arrow
@soft flicker yeah that sounds about right
soft flicker
should i really go back and get gear instead of going forward?
soft flicker
sorry not trying to argue but why? won't i get higher ilvl just from doing the msq?
slate arrow
not naturally
soft flicker
and is it that big of a deal if im just kinda slow? im not struggling or anything
quaint forge
New Game+ still gives you EXP or no rewards at all?
soft flicker
ic ic 😮
slate arrow
you'll have to repeat dungeons for gear and you only get 1-2 pieces of gear per level
proud willow
uh
granite swan
aww rip i cant add him cause hes still in eureka rofl
slate arrow
And even then most of them are from on sidequests
soft flicker
gotcha gotcha
proud willow
MSQ and sidequests in Foundation give i115 gear
soft flicker
i dont even have a single HW dungeon unlocked yet
proud willow
which is plenty to do the beginning of HW
soft flicker
not in the duty finder atleast
white sierra
Yikes, that's a lot of needed poetics...
slate arrow
I'd recommend just doing the MSQ Until you unlock your first dungeon
soft flicker
kk
slate arrow
The 51 dungeon is via a sidequest so you'll probably not encounter it
just look for a in the central highlands
soft flicker
oh coerthas?
cerulean grove
which lv60 shire poetics accessories for paladin?
proud willow
Fending
slate arrow
@cerulean grove custodian, I think?
cerulean grove
for all?
slate arrow
Shire doesn't follow fending/maiming/striking
proud willow
ah
granite swan
No way to message someone in DF huh?
cerulean grove
do i want determination or direct hit
slate arrow
@cerulean grove yes, but you can buy a strength ring for your second ring
the tank one is determination. No tank accessories come with dhit
slate arrow
I was mistaken, I'm thinking Shadowbringers content oops
cerulean grove
ill ask in tank lounge
soft flicker
whats the currency i was supposed to farm?
granite swan
Can i send a mail to someone cross server?
slate arrow
@soft flicker Tomestones of Poetics
soft flicker
o ok
granite swan
Wow this is lame, i have like 0 ways to talk to this person just because hes in DF >.>
viscid scroll
slate arrow
you'll have to do regular pulls but yeah
As long as you're over the minimum item level requirement you're good
but do let your tank know
since dying mid pull results in a reset over whatever mobs are left over
(Though, there is a chance DF will be rude and kick you for a chance to get a properly geared healer. It happens.)
languid zinc
After what time I'll recive reward if friend activated RaF Code? 
slate arrow
after they pay for a subscription

You also have to apparently wait the entire free days they have

narrow crest
new player here trying to figure out what's the difference between the scavanged items being sold from the scavenger near Memeroon. Only idea I have is they're cheaper/missing stats?
slate arrow
Don't buy gear from vendors
narrow crest
that bad?
glossy flare
it's okay for like the first 40 or so levels
and even after that it is okay, it's just that there are better ways to get better gear just as easily
narrow crest
ahh ic. thanks cypher and industrial!
open rivet
it exists in case you massively overleveled for your MSQ and want lv. 80 gear at the start of HW
narrow crest
lol I think that's what I feared a bit further along Vanessa! still shuffling between different classes and trying to figure which to lean towards more so didn't want to risk being under geared
glossy flare
what level are you?
winter coral
eyh guys, new player looking for access to a FC chocobo stable (chaos/louisoix), can anyone help in that regard ? thanks.

I'm between 20~almost 30 for for lancer/conjurer/archer
primal relic
Which class is the most complex?
untold sand
when a server is restricted to make characters. does that mean the server character creation disabled or just too many characters permanently on?
slate arrow
Depends
Congested is the former, standard is the latter
@primal relic that's a questionable question I can only give an opinionated answer on and that's all of them
Complexity comes from optimization which is a fight per fight basis
zinc orbitBOT
slate arrow
BLM optimization is absurd for 100% uptime, while ranged DPS tend to lean towards reactionary instead
primal relic
Then which class has a lot of buttons? xD
young fjord
Dragoon
slate arrow
samurai
young fjord
Bluemage
slate arrow
Bard
slate arrow
BLM hasn't had any drastic changes to it's leveling
So it's probably the most raw 2.0 job as a result
primal relic
Like fire 1 spam>transpose>blizzard 1> and repeat
young fjord
I found BLM to be one of the stronger jobs at low level dungeons due to astral stacks
primal relic
Till I got fire cracker and blizzard 3
slate arrow
BLM optimization gets crazy because any movement usually equals a DPS loss
So the challenge is how much can you keep casting without dying to death puddles
(you do get movement tools but it's basically optimizing not moving)
(which is actually pretty hard)
primal relic
Sounds fun, I’m just looking for a class to main that won’t make me bored.
slate arrow
they're all rather slow below 50
If it's not at 80, it's not complete
You get a good idea at 70
magic light

young fjord
Sounds fun, I’m just looking for a class to main that won’t make me bored.
That is very subjective tho
magic light
is there a way to turn of those sound effects
slate arrow
60 you can feel the core of the job, most of the time
primal relic
I like most of the healers cuz if I don’t pay attention my party dies.
slate arrow
50 you're missing like half of your kit, and you don't get the fun cross class buttons from back in the day
young fjord
@magic light /soundeffects
oak ice
You have ambient noises in the volume settings @magic light
magic light
like, a /sfx or something to turn off -
untold sand
is there a command to invite kupo bot to my servers?
magic light
thank you carl
primal relic
Well it depends on what do you actually do once you hit 80?
magic light
is there one for ambient noise as well?
primal relic
I assume you grind for gear and then just switch class?
oak ice
Yes, in the volume settings
magic light
as, a command

Healers get a bit of a callout near the start of stormblood, not sure if anything else past that.
And Shadowbringers doesn’t really have any AFAIK
At least, notable ones.
jolly sorrel
Er, sort of thank you. I'm trying to figure out how or why https://i.imgur.com/WKCc7Gv.png is important. I noticed various spells do different damage on different enemies, so all these things have a serious effect. But the guides just linked don't seem to mention any of it
obsidian patio
If that’s challenge 2 it makes note of it by suggesting to bring an attack of every element
Since it in total spawns a slime/pudding of each element
I’m using the 2nd guide as my reference
eager plume
As someone who never played tank before but wants to get started on DRK,Is there some tips I should be aware of?
obsidian patio
!faq tankguide
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
Yep
So the pudding you linked takes low damage from everything but wind, which it gets really hurt by
I think weakness doubles the damage or so?
And being resistant cuts it by half
jolly sorrel
Aha, that explains that my Transfiction spell kept doing 0 damage.
It was in the Strengths list
Is there any meaning to the "completion times" at the top? Do you get stuff for making it that far? Similarly the 'score' at the end?
obsidian patio
Score is fluff
As for completion time, some weekly challenges for the Carnivale want you to complete the duty fast enough
Which use those times as reference

Hi! I just got to level 50 and i think i finished the main story of ARR. I got 600 Allagan Tomestone of Poetics, should i use them to buy something from vendor? And are there any important things i need to know before continuing the story? 🙂
open rivet
If you do your daily roulettes, you'll get enough stones to fully gear yourself in no time
midnight flax
Oh okey so i shouldn't save them?? Thanks alot! I'll buy the weapon first 🙂
open rivet
you're capped at 2000, so it's either spend or lose them
twilit arch
nah, absolutely no reason to hold onto poetics
they're pretty much only used for 50/60/70 gear, and you'll get more than enough to grab the 60/70 sets assuming you do your roulettes
midnight flax
Ohh, awesome!
And i wonder i also have a quest that i think is called Weaponsmith of Legend? Is that something i should start during? And when im in Mor Dhona there is like 10 Blue Plus quests (which i heard u should always do because they unlock stuff) should they be a focus as well or should i only continue the MSQ?
faint flare
Weaponsmith is for thw arr relic
Which is SUPER grindy glamour weapon
Do it at 80
The main 2 quest lines you should do are Legacy of Allag in mor dhona and A Recurring problem in the waking sands
twilit arch
you can skip most of the in mor dhona. Main one you need to do is "legacy of allag" as it'll be required to be done by msq
faint flare
Both are required
twilit arch
Feel free to pick up the other blue quests in mor dhona though, if you wanna unlock more lvl 50 dungeons
if you need a break for msq or just want some variety
midnight flax
@faint flare @twilit arch Thank you so much guys, that's a big help! Is that Legacy of Allag quest the one who takes me to the first raid as well right?
midnight flax
@faint flare Got it!
When i do the curency exchange to trade in poetics for weapons there are no weapons to buy though? :/ Only armor
twilit arch
talk to aelina to buy the weapons

@twilit arch Thank you ❤️

you need to do the msq "Sylph Management" to unlock the job quest

You need to clear slyph management msq for job quests to appear
glossy flare
I think you might be confusing things with an old iteration of the job system. You no longer need main class at 30 and secondary class at 15

Which is roughly lv20

given you've joined a grand company, you're probably like an msq or two away from that

tidal yarrow

not because the quests require it itself

Hi, so I'm new to the game, just wondering if the duty finder are the dungeons?

I mean this in the kindest way possible but is playing ranged dps/ healing easier than playing ninja
agile laurel
yes
split jay
I feel like I just suck at everything
gentle jackal
Is it a mistake to start out as a tank?
split jay
Like I could play bard and it would be easier and people wouldn’t be mean to me
agile laurel
It gave you the option, didn't it
well
sucking at bard is gonna make no difference than sucking at ninja
from what you're saying it seems to me that getting better at ninja would be a better solution for you than attempting to drop it for something easy
split jay
Ok
glossy flare
if people are mean to you then they are assholes
agile laurel
because your issue could be with core gameskill and switching jobs will not help then
zinc orbitBOT
agile laurel
yes, but that doesn't mean just ignore them and more power
that's where this game's bad rap of 'toxically casual' comes from
learn from it if there's something to be learned
glossy flare
true
tidal yarrow
why a tank always wants to stay first spear? shouldn't i be prioritized as sam
robust magnet
what is the best way to seeing if a name is taken before trying to name change?
I looked up names on the lodestone, nothing showed up, but want to make sure that's accurate I guess lol.
twilit arch
if you want to be extra sure, could try making a character with that name if you're on standard sub
robust magnet
I'm on entry or whatever it is for 1 per world, didn't see the benefit of 7 other characters when 1 character can be everything lol. (is there any benefit?)
Also does the payment go through before or after picking a name? I can't remember.
Some games you buy an item to change name, which you can only see the names taken after buying.
jade quartz
Lodestone will be completely accurate, unless a character with the name you want was made minutes ago
robust magnet
ah okay, also to be sure, do retainer names take up character names, or only other retainer names?
jade quartz
only retainers
twilit arch
only other retainer names
potent lava
my glamour plates seem to be overriding each other when I apply different ones to my dark knight and marauder
glossy flare
probably because both use the same gear
potent lava
they're on different plate slots
jade quartz
@potent lava that sounds like it's functioning as intended...
glossy flare
so you are glamouring the same pieces of gear
robust magnet
ah okay.
That was my other worry lol, that no character would show up with a name, but a retainer had it or something.
Alright thanks everyone 
glossy flare
For example if you have a MNK and a SAM, both use striking sets so if you glamour it to look like monk stuff and then switch to samurai it will still look like monk stuff
gotta apply your samurai glamour plate again
potent lava
oh so I just have to get a dupe?
glossy flare
no need, better to just apply the plate again
jade quartz
The glamour system is functioning as intended
letting you have different glamours on two jobs that use the same gear.
Relevant gear at endgame is unique, so you cannot have dupes
glossy flare
you might run into problems when one plate doesn't fill all the slots of the other
jade quartz
nor with dungeon gear

sturdy mason
When tanking in dungeons, is it polite and encouraged to ask the healer if they prefer small or big pulls?
Often times I do big pulls I end up dying, most healers can't handle it, it seems
sturdy mason
Well I'm level 30 PLD, I do Rampart + Reprisal after I pull a big group
I don't know if there's more I can do
leaden ginkgo
in 8 levels you'll get a 30% mitigation to also use
sturdy mason
Do these all stack?
leaden ginkgo
yes but you shouldn't stack them
formal condor
all of them would stack but get nerf
leaden ginkgo
and in 5 levels you also get another mitigation
glossy flare
they stack multiplicatively, so each percentage buff has diminishing returns
dusty jungle
You also get arm's length in 2 levels, but yes don't stack damage reduction mitigation. You'll need to learn to spread out your cooldowns better between pulls
sturdy mason
Ah I see
noble current
im kinda lost, is this questline part of a chainquest? https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/One_Night_in_Amdapor
sturdy mason
Well despite that, is it expected that healers handle big pulls in Haukke Manor?
zinc orbitBOT
sturdy mason
maybe like 6-8 mobs
dusty jungle
Yes
glossy flare
I mean, that is a pretty low lvl dungeon so if your healer is a sprout then don't expect that
dusty jungle
^ well this actually
sturdy mason
ok so if I see sprout healer, do small pulls. No sprout: normal/big pulls
glossy flare
No, just ask the sprout
glossy flare
or that
noble current
maybe first time healer
sturdy mason
I can't examine people in dungeons, I tried
noble current
maybe already 2 healer at max
sturdy mason
no right click option
noble current
you do it at the party window
sturdy mason
yeah I hit O
leaden ginkgo
check their levels
noble current
"view search info"
noble current
then you see how many healers he already did'
thats enough, if he has 0 healer lvled
glossy flare
if it's a party of non sprouts I usually just do big pulls, though even then you sometimes get a newbie healer which is fine of course
noble current
you know he is new
glossy flare
big pulls are the norm, but you'll still encounter plenty of people who will prefer small pulls
noble current
if he has ast+whm at 80 and lvling a third healer he knows how to heal
twilit arch
you can examine people in instances. I do it all the time to check out their glamour
sturdy mason
@twilit arch how so? You can do it in cross world?
strange coral
Examine is from the target hud, not the part list
sturdy mason
so you right click their health bar?
glossy flare
yes
open rivet
if he has ast+whm at 80 and lvling a third healer he knows how to heal
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
I have 3 tanks at 50+ and Paladin maxed, yet I've never been with them in a proper dungeon

glossy flare
neither quest are visible for me nor do i have them unlocked :S
@noble current both of those require ARR story completion
you've done that already?
leaden ginkgo
@noble current you have to complete The Ultimate Weapon to get that unlocked
noble current
i am lvl 80 shb done
sturdy mason
what does <mo> do?
twilit arch
its mouseover
noble current
ok ive checked again normal is lvl 50 (which i have), hard is lvl 60 which i dont have
but quest for hard isnt there
wait do i need a normal completion to unluck it maybe?
glossy flare
yes
noble current
shouldnt be the case right? cause ive done that unsycned with another normal/hard dungeon and hard was available afterwards
glossy flare
you may also need to complete the quest that gives you access to the normal mode, I'm not sure
noble current
but i have the normal version in my duty finder
glossy flare
did you complete the quest too?
glossy flare
I'm serious, you can accept a quest that unlocks a dungeon, then play up to the point where it is unlocked and then abandon the quest
which unlocks the dungeon but the quest is never completed
glossy flare
fair 😄

and I'm lvl51
and I'm mining collectibles?
where do I turn them in?
twilit arch
as 51 miner your only option for collectables are: pyrite, yellow copper ore and dragon obsidian
you turn them in to a collectable appraiser in any of the major cities, mor dhona or idyllshire (assuming you've got access to it)
fierce wadi
are there any servers in JP data center that can create new characters and have English speaking communities?
apparently tonberry is congested
oof
twilit arch
rhaglr's reach, eulmore as well, though they're kind of out of the way for a 51 miner since the nodes you want to be after are in hw areas
Kujata is considered the alternative EN server
deft yarrow
ok, and I can't see that collectable appraiser menu without actually going to the appraiser?
twilit arch
Yea, you can't turn in collectables while out in the open world
you have to go to an appraiser
deft yarrow
I meant moreso to see what rarity I need for what tier
twilit arch
can also just go to the appraiser and make yourself a /e macro with the collectability you need for max rewards
but its pretty unlikely you'll be able to get max collectability, just aim for min
