tired timber
anyone know an area for quickly grinding fates for the yo-kai watch event for someone who's lvl 23?
median locust
Depends, do you have minions yet?
If not, clear any ARR fate, then go buy a minion
Weapon tokens drop depending on which minion you have equipped, and each minion drops tokens in different areas
tired timber
i have a couple but i figured i could quickly grind whichever one would have the best region
then just do that one
median locust
probably the lower level areas like
middle la noscea, central thanalan, central shroud
so you can clear fates fast
open coral
None of them are particularly good until you have flying at level 50.
tired timber
damn
open coral
Once you have flying, Central Thanalan is a good one.
tired timber
wait if i don't have flying yet will i be able to use flying mounts
open coral
All mounts are both ground and flying mounts.
tired timber
oh ok
open coral
You only have to have completed the 
My Little Chocobo following the

median locust
You unlock flying in ARR for every mount at once when you clear the base game's story
(excluding patches)
at level 50

thx for the info, i guess ill do the chocobo thing first so i can get a mount. seems like everything will go much faster then

Wife and I are getting "ID or password incorrect", we have reset our passwords multiple times. Friend was able to login with our information. But we can't login. Anyone know how to fix this? It's almost like our IP address is blocked by them
We were playing just fine, and my wife got disconnected, and then this started. I tried logging in with her information, which worked. But then it wouldn't work a second time, and my account now.
tawdry crag
Gotta wait another 30 min
brave ravine
start by using a VPN to see if you can log in. that should check your ISP routing
tawdry crag
From googling, it seems this has been an issue for years. But I will give the VPN thing a try
Nobody seemed to ever get a fix, or posted a solution.
brave ravine
also try to log into squareenix's mogstation using your phone, that should check if something's up with your comps
tawdry crag
Ah I didn't try on my phone. I'll turn wifi off for that
brave ravine
and it should verify if your accounts have been hacked or not
tawdry crag
VPN didn't work, I was able to login on my phone
So there's something with our IP address being flagged I would assume
Thanks for the phone tip.

yea, so accounts are fine. next you can try to DNS flush your comp then restart

Alright, so a google post talked about how not having the one time password setup is the issue.

Gysahl Greens last for 30 minutes each, and you can stack them up to 60 minutes.
It's irl time though
Or rather, it's "time when your chocobo is actively summoned"
So the timer pauses while you're mounted or in an instanced city.
Or when you're logged out, I guess.

Sometimes you just have to be patient. It's never going to be more than a couple of minutes unless there's hundreds in queue.
And that only really ever happens right after an expansion comes out

I have a task to "use the Duty Finder to confront Nabriales in the Chrysalis" but Chrysalis is NOWHERE in the Duty Finder! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
calm phoenix
Never mind I found it. It was a ways above most everything above a lot of the earlier trials
open coral
If you're having trouble finding it there, you can go into the Solar in the Rising Stones and click on the instance itself.
calm phoenix
It would have been helpful to put it in order. I mean it was above Shiva and everything else
open coral
It is in order.
calm phoenix
except the first five maybe
open coral
iirc it's only listed above the EX trials, which are optional content.
calm phoenix
It is above the hard trials as well
glossy flare
the "hard" tag is kind of obsolete anyway
calm phoenix
I had a hard time falling asleep last night because it was a cliff hanger losing the blessing of the light and all. I spent an extra hour hoping to unravel the situation but at 11 PM, I needed to do that trial and that could have been easily another hour or better. 11 PM is probably not a good time to queue. The game had me in shock. I never expected that turn

Is there a place where I can reset my cooldowns easily?
calm phoenix
I got an average of 17 minutes right now. It does not usually get quick until 5:30 PM/6 PM

won't be able to reset cooldowns, but that's pretty much the best option
open coral
I think Stone, Sky, Sea resets cds when you start a new set
faint flare
Or you can enter a instance unsync and just immediately leave
Faster and doable anywhere

The Midgardsormr fight was by far the most difficult one that I have done as of yet. I was constantly needing to dodge stuff and run around to avoid stuff. I do not understand why when the entire room goes blue, I am the one guy who dies from it. The attack covers the entire battlefield but everybody else survives it. I do not know what I was missing
open coral
You mean... when you have to stand under the Dome of Immunity?
To be immune to the roomwide aoe?
calm phoenix
I never saw a dome. What does it look like?
vital ruin
Can I get the kinna GS only via ded palace
glossy flare
there is an add that spawns a bit before the roomwide aoe
have to kill it and it drops a shield generator
which can then be activated to survive the aoe
open coral
It looks like a sort of shimmery dome
glossy flare
Also a lot of tanks do the dragons wrong, the first one has to be tanked away from the boss, the second one close to the boss. Otherwise they get buffed
It's not a hard fight per se, just can't ignore the mechanics
open coral
Wait, really? I had no idea about the buffs.
strange coral
To be fair, if the shield is on the other side of one of the dragons from your camera view, it can be hard to see. I didn't see it the first time I did that fight.
glossy flare
I mean, with good enough gear the buffs don't matter anymore
calm phoenix
Most "hard" fights are not hard for me anymore
sand stratus
when that happens, just stack up with the rest of the party
glossy flare
but if you have a group full of sprouts it can be hard
elfin edge
I guess you can just hang out with the other party members when that goes off and hope they can see the dome.
open coral
I mean, it's pretty big. Very hard to miss.
I can understand new players not getting under it if they see the add dragon facing it though if they don't understand that it offers immunity to even the add's breath attacks.
glossy flare
most new tanks also just draw the add too close, or draw the dragon on top of the add
open coral
Yeah, true
glossy flare
which makes activating the shield a bit of a hassle
open coral
Basic rule of that fight for dps, though, is "don't be in Narnia"
open coral
I mean, "don't be in Narnia" is a good rule of thumb for all dps at all times.
Did you do your daily leveling roulette today?
If yes, queue up for the highest level dungeon you currently have access to.
Just spam it until you hit 49.
If no, do the roulette first, then afterwards queue up for the highest level dungeon you have access to until you hit 49.
open coral
Make sure to eat food (raisins or eggs are cheap, so they're good for this).
Do it on whatever job you want to get to 49 as
If you feel okay with being SCH, then go for it
That's an "in-need" bonus. They'll pop up for various roles (usually tank or healer).
faint flare
The adventure in need bonus is somewhat negligible
open coral
Any general goods vendor should sell them
gusty storm
is this good
open coral
If you don't feel comfortable as healer, then as Vinyl said, it's not really a big enough deal
remote lintel
all food gives a 3% exp buff
open coral
Yes, that's fine.
remote lintel
just buy the cheapest
open coral
Whatever food you have on hand works just as well. We simply recommend raisins or eggs because they're cheap to buy.
The only reason for food in leveling content is the 3% xp buff.
Just eat the food when you get into the instance

should i spend tomes on ilvl 490 weapon or just wait for the relic weapon quest?
quasi widget
yes
I mean woops
the relic weapon you can get now is more than enough for anything really
but you wont do optimal dps
fathom finch
was gonna use on healer
quasi widget
and in some amount of weeks you'll be able to upgrade it even further

so i should just spend it on gear instead?

@open coral do trials count for leveling
@gusty storm Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda Normal are all in the Leveling Roulette, and do count for the daily completion of it if you are unfortunate enough to get them. In terms of specific queues, however, they do not have the same xp impact as actual leveling dungeons.
wispy parcel
long shot here, do the effects of 2 different survival manuals stack?
open coral
In what sense?
faint flare
No
wispy parcel
shit
open coral
If they have similar effects, then no. If they have different effects then yes.
So for example if you had one that was for crafting xp and one for gathering xp, you could use both of them at the same time
But if they're both for crafting or both for gathering, then as Vinyl said, they'll just overwrite each other.
Specifically the stronger one will overwrite the weaker.

Where can I find a group to do the first couple of story quest dungeons? I've been waiting for ages using the automatic party up thing lol
calm phoenix
I need to recruit adventurers in Revenants Toll for the Volunteer Dragonslayers quest but the fourth adventurer is nonexistent! The map marker is wrong and I already checked both levels and no fourth adventurer! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
Judging by the lack of responses, the fourth adventurer is ONLY nonexistent in MY game and NOBODY ELSE has ever had this problem
granite swan
median locust
Nope you're the only one that's ever had this problem
but more seriously, iirc there's one that's well hidden behind a stone fence up here
like go up to the coerthas entrance then turn around
calm phoenix
Except the answer is wrong. The fourth adventurer is NOT upstairs at 22, 5 when I checked
granite swan
Then i guess you'll have to put in a ticket with support
median locust
It's definitely not bugged, I'd keep looking around before putting in a ticket
they like to put NPCs right at the edge of the red circle for no reason, sometimes
calm phoenix
I checked everywhere upstairs around 22,5. There is nobody. I tried all rooms upstairs and down
median locust
did you try the location on the map I posted
granite swan
Saying the 4th adventurer isnt in a spot doesnt help us if he was the first one you talked to and the 4th one for you is the 2nd one listed ...
calm phoenix
I already got the one there
median locust
kk
granite swan
You got the one by the lightpost? by the fireplace in rowenas?
calm phoenix
I am trying to find this one as marked with main scenario quest marker
granite swan
that looks like the one in rowenas by the fireplace
er not rowenas but the other one,
calm phoenix
And I tried all the rooms upstairs and downstairs
granite swan
should be right through the door there by a fireplace?
glossy flare
I'm kind of getting tired of telling you to calm down and reconsider your attitude
zinc orbitBOT
calm phoenix
Tucked away in a corner I see. They hid her where I turn the camera a little late
calm phoenix
But the post in the link stating that she was upstairs was wrong
granite swan
Theres one upstairs in almost the same spot
glossy flare
I mean, in that screen you posted the quest marker is even telling you that she is below your level
in case you didn't know that you can see that
calm phoenix
How so? What did I miss that said she was below?
granite swan
the lil arrow on the marker
glossy flare
the little downward arrow
granite swan
it shows /\ or V
wispy parcel
There is always an arrow indicating if the objective is above or below you
glossy flare
there will be no arrow if your quest goal is vaguely on your level
otherwise what Maethil said
calm phoenix
It was so small and subtle that I did not notice the little arrow
glossy flare
well you learned something
calm phoenix
Yes

it stays at that %

you can't play divination with only 2/3 spots filled

oh so only play cardss basically if the seals are different huh

no

unless u are lazy and dont care

if you get a seal you dont need either redraw or use lord/lady

oh yeah i forgot about minor kk

for diadem nodes like this, can i just back out and pop a cordial and keep going?

yeah lord/lady have no seal

redraw tho is good

I am fairly sure I know the answer to this, but Im going to ask anyway. Is the fastest way for tanks to level simply doing highest level dungeon? or is there a faster way to level, ive spammed so many dungeons for my jobs im going crazy xD
wispy parcel
Spam highest level dungeons, plus daily roulette, and beast tribe quests
obtuse jacinth
I was afraid of that lol. Are the beast tribes for 50-60 worth doing? ive tried and they dont seem nearly as good as the ShB ones
obtuse jacinth
I thought as much,
faint flare
If you do both combats for previous its about the same/more
obtuse jacinth
I like the way they have beast tribes set up for ShB and hope 6.0 follows
awesome! thanks for the advice! Ill have to jump on it then lol

@glass moat a mentor has to invite you

are there any weaver crafts i can do at 60 to make a decent amount of gil?
calm phoenix
How is it that Shiva's queue popped in under five minutes at this time yesterday but I am being told 18 minutes for Vishap?
glossy flare
sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't
keen fable
because less people are queing for vishap probably
glossy flare
he's talking about normal mode Shiva
so I see no reason why one should have more than the other tbh
calm phoenix
But people do not queue for extremes so why would I be talking about extreme Shiva?
remote lintel
its rng
glossy flare
there is also Shiva unreal
calm phoenix
What is that?
glossy flare
lvl 80 stuff
remote lintel
its shiva extreme but for lvl 80s
tropic wraith
shiva normal is available earlier than vishap, also shiva normal is used to bait 2nd try points for wonderous trails
so you get more people queueing in general
wonderous trails being a stamp book collection thing you get access to later on for various rewards
leaden ginkgo
Can you LoS ranged attacks by mobs or do they go through whatever is in the way?
calm phoenix
But if you are doing wonderous tales, you are to the point where you can solo Shiva? My brother-in-law solos extreme Leviathan
polar hound
you can LOS enemies, yes
remote lintel
theyre talking about second chance points
tropic wraith
you get a 2nd chance point if someone is doing a duty for the first time
so you can queue for quick trials that are part of the MSQ, to fish for them
wispy parcel
its not great
faint flare
Just beat up a giant walking punching bag
tropic wraith
you also get some bonus poetics on top of that when someone is new, so a nice bonus on top

Always have been
sand stratus
ideally, you do one GCD after the other during combat
but if you do an instant cast oGCD between GCDs, and there isn't enough space between the end of the cast and the start of the next GCD
you clip into the next GCD
leaden ginkgo
so u skip the animation or w.e?
leaden ginkgo
i thought it was basically doing a gcd and doing another right after the one u just did
zinc orbitBOT
sand stratus
keeping your GCD windows perfectly aligned is the opposite of clipping
obtuse jacinth
1 instant GCD and 2 oGCDs can be used (with lower ping) without clipping. Anything more clips
polar hound
!faq weaving
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
yeah i read the faq all ready
ready
how is clipping good though????? how does it benefit me
glossy flare
it's not good
sand stratus
it's not a good thing
glossy flare
it's to be avoided
polar hound
anything that delays your next gcd is clipping.
sand stratus
it's something you do only if you absolutely need to
glossy flare
if you weave correctly, then clipping does not occur
sand stratus
delaying your GCDs means less DPS
glossy flare
but it can happen
faint flare
No
polar hound
combust is on your gcd
leaden ginkgo
but it says if i do gcd i can do ogcd
faint flare
However skills labelled ABILITY. Like cards, can be used inbetween the gcd
faint flare
As abilities are ogcds
leaden ginkgo
does astro not have a lot of ogcd?

uhhhhhhh

Their off global heals, cards, divination

Yes star
glossy flare
on ast
faint flare
Any heal thats not Benefic, helios or the aspected versions are off global heals

ast is the busiest healer, lots of weaving involved as youll findout, not all of it or even most of it is going to feel impactful/dps heavy cept like.. star
faint flare
Essential dignity is a off global heal you have early
polar hound
but it is
leaden ginkgo
yeah but i dont really use that unless i have too
calm phoenix
Is Vishap soloable at level 80?
faint flare
Wrong way round
Off global healing is your first line of healing
As ite FREE healing
Allowing you to dps more
glossy flare
you should
faint flare
Well you should
glossy flare
more dmg you deal, less healing you have to do
leaden ginkgo
when i need to i will
leaden ginkgo
uh not lazy
sand stratus
Vishap is a level 50 trial, so yeah you can probably nuke him with a level 80 unsync
leaden ginkgo
in most synced level30-40 dungeons u have to constatly heal ur tank
or he dies
im not letting my party go below 50%
polar hound
every job is expected to dps in ffxiv regardless..its best to try to just get in habit, especially if you plan on doing savage/extremes, of trying to squeeze dps where you can.
faint flare
Essential dignity basically handles your healing early game
sand stratus
you don't need to keep your party topped off all the time
faint flare
You barely need to use benefics

the game is designed this way

doesnt matter

idc if they die 3 seconds faster
glossy flare
well you should dps whenever you can
glossy flare
good
leaden ginkgo
but i dont priotize it
polar hound
when you have two healers, and if you overheal their regens, they will get as upset as you not dpsing
leaden ginkgo
but i dps like 50% of the time
