Can you buy level 1 gathering gear at a shop or is it only made by crafting?

I am not sure if there is any lvl 1 gathering armor or accessories
jade quartz
There is none to speak of really
warped nest
You usually use the main hand tools for a while
jade quartz
You’ll be fine wearing just like the top and turban or whatever from the class quests until level 10
Then there’s like
Amateur’s doublet and so on

At lvl 20-30 or so

Go to the market area of your city

Browse the fieldcraft gear
Yeah the gear that low doesn’t make a significant difference

!action Six Sided Star
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
warped nest
I am told that it is good combo for Limit Break
Six Sided Star for big damage - > max out GL time and all weaponskill now goes into long GCD cooldown - > start casting LB
mild ermine
The > max out GL time and all weaponskill now goes into long GCD cooldown - is actually so awful
I guess this is why people have been asking for monk changes for so long? :/
Honestly I can't even see myself using the move I feel like I would just use Form Shift to reset GL timer.
warped nest
Six Sided Star becomes a very specialized tool from this property
mild ermine
It seems too situational.
warped nest
It makes it good for, what Vis said, in situations where you can't hit the boss for a short while
It is
twilit arch
just going to note that form shit doesn't do dmg
six sided star does
so you're getting a bit of dmg out while saving your stacks
mild ermine
Okay yeah, but if I'm hitting the boss I've never had issues getting my GL back up.
So if I'm within hitting distance of the boss I can just do my rotation no?
warped nest
Yeah
mild ermine
If I can't hit the boss anyway, then form shift works fine during approach, or me being far away
I understand the purpose I just feel like its ... so niche
twilit arch
if you know you're going to be away from the boss for 2-3 gcds
you use six sided star
mild ermine
Like before moving away?
twilit arch
yeah

@gloomy mortar hey late answer but I just don't want you to get stuck on leveling the chocobo. stable exp is super super slow, especially at higher ranks, because it's for when you're not actively doing content where you can have your chocobo out. krakka root is cheaper and gives the same exp. take the chocobo out in the field and then feed him the curiel root, he will get an exp buff (rank 2 if it's his favorite food, which it probably is by now). then just kill a bunch of enemies at your level, good ways to do it are fates (since level sync counts for "close to your level") or treasure map enemies if you like to do maps. for killing 10 and 100 enemies there's a challenge log with more exp, if you just do that weekly it should go by a lot faster

If possible get Poetics gear, then your ilvl will be high enough where you always get synced down. So you can do them in any order

You can get more from the daily roulettes, or by doing those hard dungeons you haven't done yet

Secondary question @open condor - has she picked up a relic weapon? And her artifact gear? And accessories from whatever the highest ilevel dungeon she has access to is?
The 485 from the relic weapon is the biggest ilevel bump you can get fresh off 5.0.
open condor
Highest dungeon she has is ||Amaurot, Twinning and Anyder w.e||
open coral
Those drop accessories.
open coral
Ooh, yeah, she should prioritize clearing the Ivalice raids for the relic then.
halcyon glen
Once you’ve done that, you’ve a few avenues available
open coral
Just getting the relic, assuming she's got the 430 free left side artifact gear should give sufficient ilevel to progress.
Even if all of her accessories are from Mt. Gulg/Malikah's Well, that should still get her over the ilevel requirement.
halcyon glen
The basic options are market board, raids, or alliance raids. I suggest a combination of these options
With their relic, your friend should have access to both Eden’s Gate and the Copied Factory. These both drop i460 gear.
open coral
(But farming the initial three level 80 dungeons for accessories will also net some phantasmagoria and allegory tomes)
open condor
Yeah, I wanted to push her through the level requirement for Copied Factory
She's on her way to Ivalice rn

You can try in whatever city you're already in too. It's just that Limsa tends to be more crowded

Same NPC as you need for the books.

It was HW's equivalent of the E4 and E8 weapons now.
Good at the time, but by the end of the expansion seriously outclassed.

By unlocking clan hunts.
The first one unlocks at your Grand Company with a called something like "The Hunt Begins"
gusty pasture
done with that but the Kugane clan hunt board isn't letting me take hunts
yeah finish that exact quest just now
open coral
Did you do the Ishgard hunt quests?
gusty pasture
no, just finished the grand company one just now
twilit arch
then head to ishgard
open coral
You have to do them sequentially
twilit arch
and do those unlocks
open coral
So Ishgard next
twilit arch
most of them will be in ishgard, with one in idyllshire
gusty pasture
ahh there it is, "Let the Clan Hunt Begin"
open coral
That's the one
gusty pasture
oh my god I cant believe I only discovered this now

So uh when you suddenly vanish from existence and return all of a sudden, should you say something to all the people that you left behind, or continue on your own path?
open coral
What do you mean?
trail mulch
hey guys
low shore
How can I hide chat from a FC or group?
trail mulch
my friend copped starter ed, but then when he tries to login, it takes him to data center selection
potent bridge
not sure how else to ask that question
trail mulch
we dk whats wrong with it, cuz i could login on his account on my launcher
glossy flare
what's wrong with the data center selection?
trail mulch
his character is missing when he logs in on his launcher
glossy flare
even on the world his character is supposed to be?
trail mulch
wdym on the world his character is supposed to be
potent bridge
Like, the people you left likely moved on right? So is contacting them uhhh a good thing to do?
open coral
@potent bridge Did you like, vanish from the game for years without saying something? Or do you mean if you just dc'd in the middle of an instance and came back when your internet came back? Or what?
trail mulch
do you have to change anyth to login
open coral
If you didn't keep in contact with the people you left behind, they probably didn't notice you were gone.
Assuming a long absence
potent bridge
I vanished without saying anything.
trail mulch
he's tryna reinstall but we have no idea wtf is happening
twilit arch
what datacenter is his character on?
trail mulch
elemental
twilit arch
and he selected elemental in the data center menu yes?
open coral
People do that all the time though. This is the internet. Unless you knew them irl, they probably didn't think about it too much @potent bridge
But again, it depends on how long the gap was.
If it was like, a few days, then sure, contact them, whatever.
If it was years, then they probably don't even remember who you are.
twilit arch
because i'm just making sure that he's selected the correct datacenter
gusty pasture
do I need to finish stormblood before unlocking Kugane hunts?
potent bridge
I see, that makes sense
twilit arch
no
open coral
@gusty pasture Not finish, no.
twilit arch
you just need to unlock all of ishgard's hunts
trail mulch
because i'm just making sure that he's selected the correct datacenter
@twilit arch thing is he just relogged back in without changing anything and suddenly everything is gone
potent bridge
thank you for your input @open coral
trail mulch
but when i told him to check in mogstation, he has a character and i could use his character with my launcher
gusty pasture
Hmm unlocked level 2 in Ishgard now
twilit arch
just ask him if he's selected elemental
gusty pasture
what else could be missing?
trail mulch
oof he uninstalled, so when he reinstalls he should just select elemental right
gusty pasture
ahh alright. off to idylshire then
open coral
@gusty pasture They're also locked by your level. So if you're not high enough level you can't unlock the next rank.
twilit arch
yes. he needs to make sure that his data center is set to the correct one, so when he logs in select the data center menu and then select elemental
after that hit start, it may not necessarily set to his world so if its not then he needs to click on the "world" button at the upper right hand corner and then select the world with his character on it
open coral
Once you're on a datacenter where you have a character, it will usually default to that server.
trail mulch
i tried logging in using my launcher again, it becomes even weirder cuz if i switch data centers, it takes me to a server and no characters
twilit arch
usually does, but not always which is why its good to double check that its is
trail mulch
but on his launcher, it just asks him to select data center
trail mulch
both of us only have one character on one data center and one server so its rly weird ><

Only before you pull
As hide makes doton free
You dont actively use doton mid fight
agile laurel
this has the answers for you
faint flare
Hide resets mudras

And you lose nothing
sand stratus
you'll drop doton on the boss, then the tank will think it's an AOE and pull the boss out of it
faint flare
You dont lose anything for doing it

you'll drop doton on the boss, then the tank will think it's an AOE and pull the boss out of it

Yes, people call Ten Chi Jin TCJ for short
glossy flare
Ten Chi Jin
let's you use 3 ninjutsu close together
also once you get your Kassatsu upgrade you actually use Hyoton for once
because it then exceeds Raiton in terms of damage
it augments Hyoton and Katon into stronger versions, yes
Doton is more important for trash packs actually

fierce wadi
is it worth to story skip and level boost if you dont have a lot of time to play ff14?
as a newbie
wispy parcel
Ehh its up to you ultimatly but this is a JRPG first and an MMO second
Story is like 70% of the game
glossy flare
I will say that the story gets a lot better after ARR, yet some things in ARR do lay the foundation for that better story
fierce wadi
but i dont play games for the story
wispy parcel
And this aint like other MMOs where every expansion is a completely different plot. Its all one continuous story
glossy flare
Eh, in this case XIV might not be the game for you
fierce wadi
oof
wispy parcel
XIV has fun endgame raiding but there isnt exactly much of it
4 raids every 3-4 months
fierce wadi
so almost everyone plays ff14 for the story?
wispy parcel
The vast majority do yea

while i'm... pretty sure I know the answer to this, is carve and spit's 450 potency 450 / 3 or 450 x 3?

potd isn't a godtier leveling option
it's simply quicker than dungeon queues for dps, frequently
untold sand
so dungeons is better for levels?

remote lintel
levels your retainer to 70
yes
it only works if you have a lvl 70
in that class
gloomy ice
Retainers can be sent on their own missions to gather items for you. It's great for crafters who need materials but there are also a few other things they can get like minions or special dyes.
glossy flare
2 unless you pay more money
gloomy ice
So having one at a higher level makes it easier, relatively, for them to find the rare stuff.
glossy flare
I think it's 6 retainers max

ah i see

They start at lv1 when you assign them a job
You need to level them up by sending them out

zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
They'll start at lv1 in the class you assign them...then you use the boost and they'll be 70 in that class. If you decide to change them to another class they'll go back to lv1 and their level isn't retained
Yes. Going from class to job keeps levelled, but going from Class/job to a different class reset thems
No
Combat retainers have the same pool of items
The gatherering retainers have their own pool of items
You need to level gatherers

wuts kinda the stuff that i need for the ARR relic, for Lux was mostly crafting + tomestones + GC seals

You need to level gatherers yes
The low level materials can sell well depending on market and is a extra supply of mats for levelling crafters if they're low
But the boost is useless if you're not 70 in that job
