not today atleast
twilit arch
not at this stage of the tier. if its HQ neo-ish, you should just exchange it for the tokens to buy the augmented verison

Pentameld was only needed for savage raiding in the first couple weeks of the tier.

you'll also need phanta to buy the rain to exchange

It does not matter which server you are on rly, datacenter matters more.

Raya O senna isn't giving me my level 55 quest wtf
anyone know why "Taint Misbehaving" the white mage quest isn't showing?
queen cove
Gunbreaker can get very busy so it might be hard to drag boss and maximum uptime. For example in E5S where you need to center boss before a mechanic, you get into Gnashing fang combo(+continuation) so its very difficult for you to move boss around without losing uptime

Can you equip any cane as blue mage or only specific ones

Cane on BLU doesnt really matter outside of meld slots

taint misbehaving is the lvl 50 job quest, not lvl 55

As a tank you have the advantage of a short dungeon queue. You can spam those for easy exp
@gilded forge been doing that for sure lol
gilded forge
Also be sure to eat some food for the exp bonus
oak ice
Buy 99 eggs
fickle spruce
oh yeah i forgot about the food!

i tried going to the hunt board but it says i have to be lvl 50?
oh no the hunting logs right?

where do you guys get the 2nd ring from when using tomestone gear?
twilit abyss
what's the highest grade materia that would fit in scaeven armor?
tulip plover
Why do the people of the far east speak with a european accent
oak ice
I would guess because training a whole slew of new VAs would be both costly and time consuming
Cheapest is in Eureka, fastest is on the market board, but it's not something you have to care overly much for
fickle spruce
that could be
twilit abyss
just kinda want to stretch my gear into level 75 or so
noble sage
is diadem the fastest way to level a gatherer?
oak ice
Leves is faster
noble sage
nice
oak ice
You can stretch the gear into 75 just on item level
Assuming you use i400 now
That's when you want to upgrade anyway, whether or not it's melded

I’ve checked lodestone guide regarding land/house purchasing
My question is, first clicker gets the house?

leaden ginkgo
is there a way to check if something is in your gathering log from this menu?
That i'm just missing
strange coral
If it's not in your gathering log, there's a little bag icon with a ? in it, iirc. Those are all in your log.
faint flare
I believe there's a icon if you haven't gathered it yet
leaden ginkgo
I see, i'll keep an eye out, ty
leaden ginkgo
where does one buy mounts on market?
can you even buy them with gil?
trying to get the pheonix
faint flare
Only a few
Ones that are crafted, which is like a bed and a chair
The phoenix mount isn't brought, you need all 7 bird mounts from heavensward extremes
leaden ginkgo
can you use gil to buy the items you need to buy mounts with tho?
leaden ginkgo
hmmm what would you say is the most valuable asset in the game then? not gil but something else?
faint flare
Skill and just being good. Gil helps you be lazy and buy stuff you need/want
And endgame currency is earned and not tradable
wicked blade
hey guys i know you can use your arrows to nudge HUD elements
but when i do it it just changes camera angle...
slate arrow
Hold shift to grid snap HUD elements
obsidian patio
@leaden ginkgo here’s a list of all tradeable mounts, starting from the Zu Horn to the Incitatus Whistle. (Missing from the list is the new goat mount from Ishgard restoration since this is an old picture)
wicked blade
Hold shift to grid snap HUD elements
@slate arrow i know, i'm talking about the arrows
"You can use CTRL, Shift or your Arrows to move elements with more precision."
leaden ginkgo
@obsidian patio thx
it's just I've seen noobs with motorcycle mounts and I wonder how the hell they got them so early
they're doing the same quests as me so they must be around same level
faint flare
They're alts
Or on alt jobs in general
The motorcycle specifically is a account mount from Mogstation
elder meteor
is there a guide for fishing in the diadem?
faint flare
Buying gear if you're super behind
Raid consumables
Buying stuff for crafting
Like i said, its the lazy man thing
Clearly you misremember
glossy flare
Afaik there never was anything like a reset for crafter/gatherers
faint flare
Levels dont just vanish
manic flare
what equipment suffix should i look for, for machinist class?
glossy flare
If you're sure something is missing just contact support but yeah, you misremembering things is kinda more likely
faint flare
Aiming
manic flare
also what stats are important for machinist?
glossy flare
dex
faint flare
Dex
manic flare
did i make a mistake in going from summoner to machinist/
faint flare
No
manic flare
since conjurer dont gain much dex
faint flare
It doesn't matter
manic flare
should i have raised her as archer?
faint flare
Your stats are seperate
leaden ginkgo
do you get access to paladin through main quests or the gladiator guild quests?
faint flare
Gladiator quests
leaden ginkgo
or both?
glossy flare
the latter
leaden ginkgo
I see, so gonna grind up the gladiator now
glossy flare
You do need to complete the MSQ called "Sylph Management" before you can unlock jobs though
faint flare
You need to complete those and progress far enough through the story then the gladiator quests will offer and turn into paladin quests
glossy flare
but that's only for your first one
leaden ginkgo
how far in the story do I need to be?
faint flare
Slyph management
obsidian patio
20
glossy flare
the MSQ you need is called Sylph Management, which is around lvl 20
steep heron
There's no stat growths to watch. You can level and swap around to any job.
glossy flare
Stats like dex, strength and so on mostly come from your gear anyway
leaden ginkgo
one more question then, you know the halo and wings you can purchase from the store? if you want to keep this on during major raids you have the set be a possible glamour and then you use the glamour item on whatever helmet you want if say you want halo right?
also wondering if there's a halo without the circlet which looks like it's more for women
leaden ginkgo
you do that in your innkeep room right?
faint flare
Or manually
glossy flare
That is a possibility
steep heron
You can try /visor since it changes some helmet appearances but I don't think you can hide that part.
faint flare
The inn room and glamour dresser is for making presets for your glamour
sleek pagoda
hey, can someone explain to me why some items are synced in certain dungeons and some not?
glossy flare
Generally i would recommend putting stuff that you only have for glamouring anyway into the glamour dresser because you only pay the prisms once
Instead of every time you do it manually
leaden ginkgo
everytime you do it manually you use one of those glamour prism things?
obsidian patio
Depends on the item level of the item and the dungeon
glossy flare
everytime you do it manually you use one of those glamour prism things?
@leaden ginkgo yes
leaden ginkgo
you don't lose the item you choose to glamour tho right?
glossy flare
nope
sleek pagoda
ok, for example
faint flare
No
delicate ivy
What's the text to change your job?
glossy flare
text? 🤔
elder meteor
like for a macro?
delicate ivy
Yeah
steep heron
Text command?
You do it by changing the gearset in your equipment screen
elder meteor
/gs change 5
delicate ivy
Gear set?
elder meteor
or whatever gear set you're changing to
yeah you have to save a gear set of whatever class
glossy flare
You can assign a gearset to each job you have and then just drag that set to a hotbar
a macro seems unnecessary to me
elder meteor
then you can drag the gear set out to a hotbar or you can use a macro with a /gs change command
I use macros for some of them
ember bronze
Does the sindri replica you get from resto node look like sindri or sindri lux?
jade quartz
The dungeons with level sync are those which were released earlier during the time when that was the level cap
elder meteor
like my gatherers have a macro to automatically put up the other ones' tracking skills
/gs change 5 <wait.1>
/action "Truth of Mountains" <wait.1>
/action "Truth of Oceans"
steep heron
If it doesn't say lux replica it won't be the lux version
glossy flare
won't save you from tank stance being turned off every time the game syncs you down though but it is something I suppose
jade quartz
As an expansion goes on, higher ilvl gear is released, so the earlier dungeons from that expansion are given a gear sync to prevent gear crushing it
elder meteor
/gs change 3 <wait.1>
/action "Royal Guard"
steep heron
That seems like more effort instead of just clicking the damn tank stance button
quasi hawk
just make it a habit of turning it on when you load in
glossy flare
I mean, it is more effort one time and then less effort every other time
elder meteor
yeah it drops the stance when you load in anyway
glossy flare
I can see the benefit
elder meteor
I use them for my summons on sch and smn also
since those don't drop when I load in
jade quartz
E.g. the Wanderer’s Palace was designed when the max item level was 90
leaden ginkgo
what's the best way to get good gear just raid a lot?
also what's the etiquette on greeding vrs passing for higher level stuff?
faint flare
Stoey gives you enough gear...endgame gear is farming tomes (endgame currency) and normal mode/24man raids until you get confidence for the high end Savage raids
Greed if you want it. Pass otherwise
leaden ginkgo
stoey?
faint flare

I assume you won't be able to get the job quest 50+ before hw right?

how do i equip the yokai watch?
leaden ginkgo

No
You fly in arr

Which is the base ARR story
leaden ginkgo
I see
faint flare
At lv50
leaden ginkgo
thx
random hollow
i got a yokai, how do i summon it?
jade quartz
It’s a minion
Use the item from your inventory and then summon it from the minion guide.
faint flare
Use the item then go to minion guide
random hollow
thx
leaden ginkgo
Oh man wanderers palace is great
first time I did it I was not sober, doing it with friends

I'm only about Lv 32 Bard with 30k gil, by the time 5.35 rolls around with the extra housing plots will I have enough wonga to buy a house 👀
halcyon arch
yes 💀
quasi hawk
probably be gone within an hour
faint flare
You got like a few weeks so probably not
halcyon arch
so 5 mill is endgame money huh
halcyon arch
and apartments?
faint flare
500k
quasi hawk
500k
you should be able to find an apartment now
or if your FC has a house you can just use their apartments, which is 300k
crimson wind
Should i TBN someone for raidwides?
quasi hawk
nah
crimson wind
Or will it not pop this late into the tier?
crimson wind
But what if I'm fishing for dark arts
quasi hawk
if you can do it fast enough go for it
faint flare
tbn is dps neutral
Unless you manage to get the dark arts under raid buffs to get you a "extra" flood
frosty stump
whats currently the best way to farm gil? I want to get a house when more come out aswell but am new to the game only being lvl 70 {I play at least 9 hrs a day every day so I can start it doing it by then no problem id assume}
blissful pine
When downloading the game through the launcher, is it downloading on a patch to patch base? Or if it cancels will it have to start from the beginning again
quasi hawk
selling treasure map drops is good money
manic flare
how long is the cutscene before u go to estinien in the infirmary?
quasi hawk
if you consistently do them
frosty stump
on avg how much every 5 hrs would that get me?
quasi hawk
depends on what you get
frosty stump
just an estimate so I can see my options and pick one
quasi hawk
200k at least I think
blissful pine
Ah okay so when it cancels itself it should resume from where it left off?
That’s good to know
frosty stump
200k every 5 hrs is not good, ive seen a lot of ways that can make at least 500k every hour
faint flare
Because they craft
frosty stump
im fine with crafting, I just need to know what I need to lvl and what to craft
frosty stump
if I did that how much would I get an hour on average would you say?
frosty stump
ok, so do my research on my server, check whats selling at the best cost/time ratio, and then go from there
faint flare
Crafter mains casually log into like 10mil a day or more
manic flare
@faint flare how
quasi hawk
selling HQ aesterete(sp) tools and gear will get you millions, but getting to being able to craft that will cost you millions
faint flare
Crafting
inland zenith
I managed to make 2 mil in 4 days with simple stuff, always looking at the market in between adventures.
frosty stump
also, whats the date more houses are avaible?
inland zenith
But undercuting is a suffering
random hollow
Does using my yokai minion produces a benefit, or it's not required whatsoever?
manic flare
how long does the yokai event last?
faint flare
Until 5.4
You need the yokai minon out in the correct zone to get the medals for the weapons
frosty stump
ok, so ill rush through the msq so I have access to everything then ill do research to find what to lvl then ill start making some gil so that I have enough to buy a decent house. thx for the help
faint flare
Otherwise minions in general don't do anything
delicate ivy
Are the times for the sightseeing logs in ET or ST?
random hollow
ok thx
faint flare
Et
inland zenith
Around lvl 60 is quite good to start making some money.
I've been crafting since heavensward, just finished stormblood.
manic flare
@inland zenith why and how?
frosty stump
I need to make at least like 5 mil a dayish if Im gonna have enough to get a large house
inland zenith
The secret is finding a nice spot to craft items
I just do it in between the adventures
faint flare
Do 👏 your 👏 market 👏 research
random hollow
what is a house good for in this game?
random hollow
mmm i see
faint flare
free companies get access to the workshop for Airships and subs
frosty stump
I just want mine to show off, lol
inland zenith
I sold some gardening stuff I found, but researching the market is the best
too much variation
faint flare
Housing and gardening stuff is gonna shoot up in price with the new plots
inland zenith
totally, I imagine.
One good thing is selling items you get with GC seals. There are days in which their price scale a lot.
quasi hawk
gotta sell dat coke
inland zenith
always!
lavish vortex
Hi! Whenever I log in, I get like 3 windows with messages... is there a way to turn that off? I don’t want to close them every time I log in... I know it takes like seconds, but it’s kind of annoying haha
inland zenith
but it is not the best source of profit, because you need seals, and also undercutting prices...
polar hound
@lavish vortex yeah. either in the options or on the popup themselves sometimes at the bottom is "do not display again"
limber heron
Ok, now what am I doing wrong? Blue mage, letting qirin cast faze, then kill them. No skill learned. I have them targeted so it's not that I was only useing aoe

to turn off the recommendations anyway

Learning is only guaranteed if you're doing a dungeon synced or if its a quest required skill
limber heron
So you have to see it a few times?
frosty stump
real quick, how do I mark something as a spioler?
limber heron
I just got it so I guess that it came eventually

hmmmm whats your current name quest? there is https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests but if you wanna avoid that for reasons ill need a quest name
cinder condor
Depends how much time you devote to playing the game or if you only focus on the story
frosty stump
Ive looked at the quest list, but that doesnt tell me time
and ill only be doing msq
polar hound
well no because it's entirely individual dependant
polar hound
understandable. are you skipping CS? are you not?

There's 15 plates

If you skip all the Cutscenes maybe 3 weeks if you devote 2-3 hours to play the game
frosty stump
lol, I play atleast 9 hrs a day

I rushed SB in like a week, shadowbringers feels longer but is far more worth
quasi hawk
you'll probably get through it in a week

A week

If you skip the cutscenes from 4.5 you wont understand what the beginning of 5.0 is
