Ah nice already upgraded. Will the iLvl be enough for HW content or will I also be grabbing gear from quests?

does yokai watch give a mount reward?

it'll be enough, but you'll want to snag some upgrades from the MSQ and dungeons later on

@gritty oak what is the issue you’re getting?

ar they flying mounts?
slate arrow
all mounts are flying mounts

Ok thanks is there a place for minimum recommended iLvl for all content? I once went into the ant dungeon (cutter cry) underlevelled and I am scarred
slate arrow
all expansion dungeons have a minimum item level
leaden ginkgo
It might show iLvl ingame I haven't found it though
ripe hound
Generally if you can enter the dungeon you are good enough
slate arrow
usually being the item level cap of the previous expansion
*for leveling
if not, somewhere close to it

@obsidian patio umm ive been playing the game with windowed mode (with resolution of 1535* 841) and accidentally switched to fullscreen. after i switchced back to windowed mode again, although the windowed size stayed same, the actual game resolution stayed in 1920*1050 and frame rate dropped down to 13 o<-<
slate arrow
if you're in windowed the game automatically adjusts to the resolution the window is resized to
There's no way to force the render resolution down short of shrinking the game window
or going fullscreen but lowing the render resolution
gritty oak
right um.. bc my hud's size also has been shrunk down as well i was wondering like..
if i would have to just reinstall the game..
slate arrow
If you want to run the game at a lower resolution while still filling the screen, either adjust your Windows resolution manually or run the game at fullscreen but at reduced resolution
You can adjust hud settings in System Settings > Hud Scale
As well as Hud Layout
gritty oak
ok, thank you for the reply!! i'll try those!!

Current BiS recommends to meld two Perception +20 materia to Aesthete's chest correct? For the two guaranteed melds

Would it be a good method if to get Gil is to make nq items and sell it on the market?
I’m trying to level up my doh classes and my Gil is around 260k from using market board because gathering can be time consuming

exotic ridge
Question:
When I do larger content,24 man etc, I get an issue where it seems like i have animation cancelling for e.g. HSS/HSS/HCS combos, I still see the Heated Split Shot and the number for the damage appear but the char doesn't do the animation?
Is it because the 24 man has extra lag because there is more going on? The keys seem sluggish as well in the bigger content.
obsidian patio
As in your animation gets interrupted by another animation or none at all?
@granite swan #general-discussion
exotic ridge
Its just missing he doesnt do the flips and stuff I normally expect
obsidian patio
If you’re using abilities like defensive cooldowns or damaging abilities like spirits within then the animations will interrupt each other
formal oasis
i just got ffxiv today 
pine phoenix
just got 2 lines on wonderous tails, should i grab the certificates or the MGP/
warped nest
I personally lean toward MGP
exotic ridge
In this instance I just use a quick set I have for getting started
obsidian patio
Oh yeah MCH clips the hell out of their animations
slate arrow
^
obsidian patio
Gauss Round and Ricochet being up often means you’ll interrupt animations a lot
slate arrow
fortunately, more than a few attack animations are independent of the character's body
exotic ridge
but there should be an animation between the other two I only ever see the last animation
slate arrow
like all of the heated attacks which have the bullets hover and the homing heat blasts don't get cancelled out
@exotic ridge as long as the numbers pop up, you don't have anything to worry about
damage canceling isn't a thing except for SMN
exotic ridge
ok thats fine then.

Better gear at 51.
granite swan
ok
pine phoenix
are hotbars and crosshotbars completely differnt for assigning skills/actions? like hotbar 8 is not the same as cross hotbar 8?
green grail
yes, they're fully separate
since (afaik) you can't bind controller buttons to normal hotbars and vice versa
granite swan
is the better 51 gear, MB/Vendor/Scrip?
obsidian patio
Vendor/marketboard
vocal star
daily hunts change on the daily reset? like with the roulettes?
granite swan
Would the vendor be in ishgard? i forget where 51 stuff is
hot eagle
yeah 51-60 is in ishgard, 61-70 is kugane but also check mb if u are lucky u get some cheaper parts there
warped nest
Always check MB
People might sell HQ gears they acquired from msq because they have no use for them
acoustic copper
HQ gear is equivalent/slightly better than the next level set you can get
so HQ gear should last you about 5 levels each
acoustic osprey
question for the aether compass, does it track the whole map or only a certain distance
green grail
whole zone im pretty sure
acoustic osprey
okok
shell echo
Hello, I've seem to run in to a game ending bug
I'm in pre heavensward 2.55 MQ in terms of story wise, and I need the crystal towers to proceed. This quest is given by a Outlandish Man and requires you beat the story (Can fly) and be level 50. I'm level 51, and can fly but do not see this man
acoustic copper
crystal tower should be part of MSQ now though?
warped nest
Yes
acoustic copper
just follow your MSQ quest
acoustic copper
that's really weird
warped nest
I can be wrong though
shell echo
"You may not proceed with this quest until you finish the crystal tower quests" (something akin to this)
acoustic copper
huhh
that's odd
maybe you already picked up the sidequest?
check your journal
warped nest
/\
shell echo
I have 3 quests. "Shadows Uncast" "Quake me up" "Relic Reborn Gaebolg"
I also had 2 ladies standing around next to me spending 20 minutes trying to figure this out with me x.x

did u maybe allrdy do a part of it? do u have 1 or 2 of the lvl50 alliance dutys
dreamy flume
If a hair color in Garland tools says 7,2
Which one is it in the character customization?
granite swan
RIP the 50 GC crafter gear is better then 51 lol, i shoulda item compared first

That's a really interesting idea Chibi Shiro, I'll look it up. It's possible I cancelled it years ago to clear up quest journal without knowing it's importance
pine phoenix
Once I lose Road to 70 do I get it back if my server becomes perfered again or do I only get it the 1st time?
granite swan
only once

@shell echo If you've done any of it, it should be the first raids in ARR section
acoustic copper
don't forget your armory bonus too

"your decision to join the expedition to the crystal tower is welcome" I have labrynth of the ancients" and binding of coil 1-5. I must have dropped the quest mid way 6 years ago then forgot

Why does Ishgard still give points if the event is over?

It's not over, consider it more just an off-season

Ah, i didnt think of those

hello! could anyone help me understand what the ability surecast does? I don't really get it. does it allow me to move while casting without interruptions?
apologies if this is not the right channel to ask
analog gate
sometimes when you're casting and you get attacked or hit by avoidable AoEs, your cast can be interrupted
surecast prevents that
cloud dew
ohh, ok! thank you
analog gate
and the second effect is to nullify all knockbacks, which can push you off the edge of the arena sometimes
do levelling roulette if you haven't for the day, then yes spam highest level dungeon
since healer queues should be shorter, and (imo) you also learn the class better that way

well potd is over and over dung too :p atleast you get to feel special keeping some plebs alive in normal dungeons :p

I have a macro question. I'm trying to make a macro that when you click it, un-hides a hotbar, then re-hides it several seconds later. Like a menu kinda thing I guess - I can't find anything like it online to reference tho

/wait 5
/hotbar display 7 off
This is Off the top of my head
Please type the first line in the in game chat and check it to make sure I got the syntax right
warped nest
👌
agile laurel
to verify, drk doesn't actually have any detriment from using bloodspiller/quietus under blood weapon?
warped nest
Nope
obsidian patio
Just make sure you aren’t sitting at/above 60 blood with both blood weapon and quietus activated at the same time
Or you’ll over cap on blood
agile laurel
mhm
just wanted to make sure if had to burn to avoid overcap that wasn't actually a detriment
warped nest
Wynne, I think you meant delirium
agile laurel
idk what they meant but i chose to ignore it
warped nest
Quietes is the AOE
obsidian patio
Oh yeah derp
agile laurel
it's drk, the names are all interchangeable as fuck anyway
warped nest
Under Delirium, your Bloodspiller and Quietus doesn't spend blood gauge
agile laurel
Ah yes ofc
warped nest
So you just want to avoid Blood weapon capping your Blood Gauge during that
That's all
agile laurel
I'm habitually using delirium after blood weapon anyway, makes sense that's why it's advised
drk one of those 'idk why it works but i'll do it' jobs for me
regardless, cheers

@nova umbra it depends, you can or you don't have to
does mean the boss spins 180 sometimes but nothing TN can't handle
for simplicity's sake most PF groups I've been in tend to not
granite swan
Speed leveling gatherer is pretty much just popping a manual and running around diadem?
hot eagle
leves is faster for gathering jobs as diadem, diadem is only usefull if u need the gathered stuff for also leveling your crafter
granite swan
Ah
hot eagle
also daily gc turn-in and jobquests give a lot exp
and 61-70 namazu tribe, 71-80 qitari
wintry chasm
Also diadem gives you Ishgard scrips soooo
That's nice
also daily gc turn-in and jobquests give a lot exp
And custom delivery which is sandwiched between those two

Hey I just started the Slyph beast quests and I've been waiting like an hour for A Wrench in the Works to spawn
wintry chasm
Doing other fates in the area will help spawn it since you'd be cycling potential fates faster
but otherwise you just gotta pray
white sierra
I'm starting my first crafter (weaver lv 17) what's the best way to level?
wintry chasm
Where are you in main story?
white sierra
Just cleared hw
white sierra
Best heavenward but haven't done it's postgame
wintry chasm
Right okay
Well for now
You can do grand company turn ins each day, Ixal beast tribe (the beast tribe I guess isn't the most efficient but it's a story and you do get some rewards from doing it like minions and mounts so I'd do it anyway)
There is a thing you can unlock when you finish the patch 3.3 MSQ that you can do from level 20 that's the most efficient way to level whilst being very easy
Leves might give more xp but it's way more of a headache for materials
So I'd do the grand company and beast tribe stuff now if you want but I'd wait for the patch 3.3 system you've yet to unlock for super high leveling
also in case you aren't aware you really should level them all at the same time
otherwise you'll be spending loads on materials/gear while leveling that you could have just made yourself
white sierra
If I did them all at once I'd just get overwhelmed
warped nest
5 levels at a time
warped nest
All of them have the same skills
wintry chasm
Really you'll get overwhelmed by doing it one at a time
because then you'll have like
15 fucking sets of gear
just cluttering everything
and materials you'll have to buy
and ugh
shudder
warped nest
Speaking as someone who started leveling for the sake of killing time, I have identified very eary on (like lvl 20) that there is no reason for NOT level them all
This is back in 2015
Even then, only took me a month to get every crafter and gatherer lv 60
white sierra
Does that include DoL? Because those really don't interest me
wintry chasm
You should level those
gritty oracle
Honestly I just recommend waiting until you finish 3.3. I know back in y'all's day you did it without firmament, but it's just infinitely less convenient now.
warped nest
With DoL leveled, you can be completely self sufficient
wintry chasm
Which would be....a lot
plain python
I assume it is easier to find group for Ancient Laby raid if I use raid finder?
warped nest
If I may, I'd suggest queueing for dungeons with Dps, then grind DoL while waiting for queue to pop
gritty oracle
Yeah leveling without DoL will bankrupt you in like 20 levels combined
warped nest
Kinda a two bird with one stone thing
gritty oracle
Yes Momo
plain python
or level other class if you're bored of waiting :d
gritty oracle
Everyone and their mother is doing crystal tower now so queues are short
warped nest
For Labyrinth of the Ancient, you can just use duty finder directly
Don't need to use party finder
gritty oracle
Thsey said raid finder, which is in df
warped nest
Unless you are trying some silly stuff, like 24 tanks
white sierra
Do I need fisher/cullinarian?
gritty oracle
For void ark should I queue or am I better off PFing it? Need two pieces for my complete dragoon set.
warped nest
If you have to pick something to skip, those two would be it
wintry chasm
Duty finder Vie
warped nest
Culinarian craft food, they are great for buffing players in raids, and buff doh/l performance
They don't exactly craft materials for other crafters
wintry chasm
Fisher cul are like, nice to do I guess but no they aren't like, interconnected to other crafters like all the others
warped nest
So if you had to skip one doh, this is the one
white sierra
The last thing is I have no idea how I'm gonna manage my inventory/armory with all that shit
shrewd mirage
how can i queue solo for HoH?
wintry chasm
As in queue solo and get matchmaked with others or just go in solo entirely Kiera?

Don't forget that you have two retainer inventory
You can stock your crafting ingredients there
shrewd mirage
just go in solo entirely

obsidian patio
@shrewd mirage choose the fixed party option when not in a party
warped nest
Sure, if you want to use Ishgardian restoration to grind level
I do recommend keeping up with your job quests as much as possible, don't stock them and do them in a batch
They offer good exp and is a good way to take a break from the Ishgardian restoration grind
white sierra
Of course
austere dust
Ways to obtain allied seals? can only think of BLU log and hunts
plain python
when you do the restoration stuff, will you see the progress of the place getting rebuilt? (like the ixali ship)
wintry chasm
kinda
It's server based progression
so right now you will
but if you were to say, get started once everything is built
no
because it's already built
plain python
so I'm too late to see the thing from being built from ground up?
wintry chasm
Things should still be getting built
tidal yarrow
how can i use a retainer fantasia?
obsidian patio
@tidal yarrow talk to the retainer vocate with it in your inventory, IIRC
wintry chasm
^
tidal yarrow
oh i had to use it
wintry chasm
There will be an option to change the appearance
warped nest
your intuition is technically not wrong from a design perspective (I want to change retainer A, so I go to retainer A), but that's not it works
tidal yarrow
is there a way i can save the appearance of my current character?
and then load it on my retainer fantasia customization
gritty oracle
Oh yeah you have to drink the potion if you wanna change th retainer, which is... Less than sound logic tbh
Nope, retainer fantasia doesn't allow loading sets
austere dust
can I still buy alexandrite maps in Mor Dhona for poetics?
gloomy mortar
Can you make your retainers look like Yotsuyu Edda or Yasale?
obsidian patio
Edda is a maybe since she’s a pretty basic side character
Maybe also for Ysayle
Yotsuyu is a definite no
gritty oracle
How come? Iirc her hairstyle is available as a basic
obsidian patio
Assuming you mean Ysayle, her face is somewhat custom
tame plinth
Blue mages can't use the augmented scaevan gear right?
obsidian patio
Correct, it’s level 70
gritty oracle
Blu bis is iirc a mix of A9-12S and shire gear
wintry chasm
Blue mages can't use the augmented scaevan gear right?
Right
Because they can't be level 70

@austere dust yes relic maps are still in mor donut at the tome exchange npc

5.15
austere dust
gritty oracle
I personally don't think they'll upgrade blu to 70 until 6.x
left moth
Guessing 5.45 yeah so we can suffer 8blu omega savage like champs
That said they really tend to drag that out until theres nothing at all to fill content with
tame plinth
they'll upgrade blue when they upgrade all other classes. thats my guess
warped nest
Hard to tell
gloomy mortar
Do you have to finish ShB to get the dwarf beast tribe quest ?
obsidian patio
No explicit MSQ requirement besides being far enough to do the sidequests needed for the quest

Basically the first MSQ or two that takes you to Tomra.
left moth
Since they are side quests need them unlocked so realisticly lv 78-79 combat job

exotic ridge
For trash groups with MCH, should i be using spread shot and bioblaster and flamethrower one after each other?
green grail
flamethrower is kinda whatever, but generally yeah, spread shot spam, bioblaster on cooldown, hypercharge+autocrossbow when available
exotic ridge
I dont use crossbow atm i have hyper with my set of heat blast etc
green grail
well if it's aoe on trash then use autocrossbow
exotic ridge
But I struggle to keep the red bar up enough, so if I have spare red its an option y?
green grail
at 50 heat, same as you use single target hypercharge for heatblasts, if there's 2+ targets then autocrossbow should be used instead of heatblasts
median locust
ACT or Advanced Combat Tracker
tidal yarrow
only 10?
exotic ridge
@green grail should i still be using spread shot as well or fit as many auto crossbows in as I can
tidal yarrow
yes
median locust
28 USD for 3 Fantasias
green grail
only autocrossbow during the hypercharge, and spread shot outside hypercharge to build the heat gauge to 50, so you can hypercharge for more autocrossbow etc @exotic ridge
exotic ridge
do I still include the wildfire /richochet and guass inbetween as normal?
richochet seems aoe based
green grail
ricochet is aoe so you can yeah, but crossbow doesn't refresh the charges so you won't have to spam them like during single target
exotic ridge
aah ok
green grail
and wildfire is free damage but probably better saved for the boss depending on how far from the next boss you are
it's just trash aoe it's not that deep, press aoe buttons 
exotic ridge
ill just put a cple of rcihochet and get the best I can from the loop

how does eorzea handle naming of different races being married
ember goblet
like for example a male suncat being married to a hyur woman

i can't find the option..
jade quartz
different races hardly ever get married
so in those rare cases it's probably up to the individual.
tidal yarrow
there is not the option to redeem gift code

"enter item code" says right there
tidal yarrow
but it's registration code, isn't it a completely different thing
green grail
you're registering an item/gift
brisk gazelle
Does anyone know if item syncing in dungeons syncs every individual item above that number down or if it just syncs your overall ilvl? If my overall ilvl is lower than the sync but my weapon itself is above, will the game still sync that piece of gear despite me not having an overall ilvl exceeding the maximum allowed?
jade quartz
Syncs each piece of gear.
brisk gazelle
Ah, so in that scenario it'll sync that one item down and leave the rest as they are.
Swell. Awesome, thanks for your help 🙂

more hq means a higher chance that next step will require less materials, afaik

I read Minfilia's Wiki entry and found this: "Because walkers of the Path can use the Echo to communicate with the beastmen, they were branded heathens." Is it true that in 1.0 beastmen couldn't speak Common, or Eorzean, or whatever the global language is?
jade quartz
Some could
but generally the language barrier was more of a thing that came up, yeah.
plain python
allience routtle kinda long. Is it good for leveling?
median locust
Yeah it's pretty good
About as good as Levelling Roulette
Also, it's not worth it if you're a tank. You only need 3 tanks per 24 players so tank queues are garbage
proud willow
much like DPS queuing for Leveling roulette, it's still a good use of time to do Alliance Raid Roulette on tank as long as you have something to do while you're in the queue
vocal compass
new player here from wow, are there healing mouse over macros in this game or do you need to target the party member with F1-4 to heal?
proud willow
It is possible to make a mouseover macro
plain python
so it is worth more for DPSer where you can get 15 of them?
jade quartz
but not really recommended
faint flare
Macros are pretty trash in the game and should be avoided if possible
proud willow
However, macros in this game are very unresponsive and you should avoid using them for anything you're going to use in combat on a regular basis, like a cure
faint flare
For combat
vocal compass
ok
jade quartz
just click party list
move it more central in your hud
using F1-F8 isn't that popular
green grail
healing here isn't a reactive whack-a-mole very often, so most of the time you'll be healing the tank or just using aoe heals for the whole party

first time thru is going to be a fair bit slower since you can't pre-stock up on certain materials
median locust
But a neat thing is, Anima mostly just requires a loooooooot of poetics, while doing the Eureka relic gives you a ton of poetics on the side
So making both of them side to side is super efficient

for crafting master tomes, is there anyway getting them outside of self-crafting or market-buying the materials?

do lv50+ crafting quests give you new skills? Or like 1-50 counterpart where it is just story and unlock next quests?

65 quest gives you a pretty vital skill

On every crafting class
So they're pretty much mandatory

If you own the Starter Edition, you just need to buy Shadowbringers
if you're on the trial, you need to buy both (or buy Complete Editions)

Also, you can also play Heavensward while on free trial

Can put it inside the Armoire which takes no space in the dresser instead
leaden ginkgo
Just like you can't put Relic weapons in there either. It's dumb.
dense pier
That's not the point
I want to put it inside for glamour plating
The last subscription set I can toss inside the dresser
but this one no?! wtf
zinc orbitBOT
median locust
You can use stuff from the Armoire in glamour plates
Like while you have the dresser open, there's an Armoire button at the bottom
then you can browse the armoire and pick pieces from there
onyx kiln
is there a way to see what buttons on the keyboard/mouse you just pressed in what order? have had it where i jump into another window on my computer whenever i use a gapcloser which is tied to Alt+Ctrl+3. I can only think i must be hitting another button at the same time by mistake but can't figure out which one?
dense pier
Thank you
glossy flare
Tab, probably?
Alt+tab makes you jump through open windows
Also there is software for that, just Google keylogger or something
onyx kiln
could be, i have my little finger accross that row of buttons by default,
glossy flare
Has nothing to do with xiv though
onyx kiln
not directly no, but figured there could be someone who reconised the issue here more so than in any other chatrooms i am in
glossy flare
No I mean any software that does that has nothing to do with xiv
And might be shady because... keyloggers
slate crow
Scholar or AST, which is easier to adapt to?
glossy flare
What do you mean by adapt? Like learning the job?
sand stratus
if you accidentally press the windows key instead of alt
it launches the corresponding program on your taskbar

win+2 would go to the second
etc
slate crow

AST I would say
leaden ginkgo
how do i make item better for ishgard restoration

better stats and rotation
frosty stump
just out of curiosity for when I get to end game, what are the best looking monks fists glamour item?
leaden ginkgo
?
glossy flare
Which requires more knowledge of the game in general
agile laurel
highly subjective
sand stratus
to get higher collectability, you need to improve the quality
glossy flare
Surprisingly, scholars actually have to be smart
sand stratus
using your touch actions
and how much those touch actions improve quality depend on your stats
so the better stats you have, and the more CP you have to use your skills, the higher your collectability will be
leaden ginkgo
is it hard getting 100
manic tinsel
is there a class that is for lazy people(if that makes sense)
sand stratus
like, max collectability?
oak ice
Crafting is all about getting the gear and then stealing rotations
sand stratus
people have macros for ishgard restoration
oak ice
You just need to know the rotation
little swift
You can use a macro though?
whole wasp
you just gotta type it in
oak ice
Yeah, it just takes a while to set up
leaden ginkgo
what rotation???
bronze narwhal
Macro is ingame not 3rd party software
leaden ginkgo
im talking about turning in items for exp
oak ice
Yes
sand stratus
rotation is the set of skills and the order you use them in to craft something
leaden ginkgo
where can i find the rotation
whole wasp
google it or ask the balance. can ask teamcraft oo
whole wasp
leaden ginkgo
where can i find the macro then?
whole wasp
you can search by item, by stats, by level etc
leaden ginkgo
i cant even do it i dont have half the skills
sand stratus
do the highest level one you can
leaden ginkgo
no way to make grade 3 skybuilder alloy at collectablity of 50+ at level 21
sand stratus
You can definitely make base collectability at level 20
Might just need better gear if you're having trouble

Lamebrix('s?) Dice, Claw of Skoll and Ying-Yang's tissue
they're tradable iirc, but so ultra rare they're defo a couple mil each if i were to guess
and it's not really worth the effort if you just want a weapon/armor/BA mount

are the crafter's delineation used up in trial synthesis?

They can port to it but have to teleport out
@faint flare ah okay thats good

was worried cuz he doesnt have stormblood
leaden ginkgo
so if i wanna level certain class in ishgard do i have that class equiped and give them the item?
faint flare
Each crafter has different items
leaden ginkgo
i dont see items for gathering
faint flare
You approve then
gloomy ice
Gatherers have to level through the Diadem
leaden ginkgo
oh lol is that long?
faint flare
At the guy next ti diadem entrance guy
leaden ginkgo
oh
faint flare
You have 3 hours to gather items to used to make the ishgard crafts
You can leave whenever
gloomy ice
Gather a ton of materials from inside, take them to the guy to get them appraised.
leaden ginkgo
lmao is it even a lot? cuz i felt like it was subpar
faint flare
Its decent with food and manuals and gets 2 birds with 1 stone
As you get the mats for crafters
leaden ginkgo
so ishgard is only good crafting classes
everything else is subpar
It's 14minutes early enough for concerted works?
leaden ginkgo
Diadem is super chill, just stick some music on and vibe
I'm levelling mining and botany to 80 via diadem and keeping all resources to then level my crafters after
ok another thing
why cant i change my retainer class to botany
Diadem is probs the best way to level gatherers tbh
Feels that way anyway
Do quests every 5 levels and diadem in between
faint flare
Did you unlock botany
leaden ginkgo
yes
i have it at like level 12 rn
i try reset her class from miner to botany and it doesnt let me
strange coral
Is she not on a venture? And did you unequip all of her gear?
leaden ginkgo
when she gets back from venture i just took her on ill unequip and try again
gloomy ice
Right if you want them to change from one class to another, you have to reset them to level 1 and start over.
leaden ginkgo
yep tried that and doesnt let me equip any of the botany level 1 gear i have for her
but ill try agian in a hour

How do you get the red blue thing to exchange stuff from the sundry splendor?
ancient halo
im coming from WoW - Gotten sick of waiting years for dungeon queues and generally fed up with the game
leaden ginkgo
All MMOs have similar dungeon queues, it's based on role
If you dps prepare to wait
I main tank and healer and I get instant queues
strange coral
!faq gearguide
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
Something of note is that you can queue as a role, and then swap your class and do something else while you wait
strange coral
@round whale
leaden ginkgo
So eg, you can queue as samurai/dps, then swap to miner and go mining while you wait
amber ingot
just a random question , TGS is coming up , is there a chance that they will announce the new expansion there ? cuz i think its around that time of the year that they should have done it
fading tulip
Samurai dps here. While waiting it is often really easy to just grind some monster, get material, craft or simply sell item.
leaden ginkgo
yeah, queue up, but dont just stand around
I've levelled a lot of DPS but I was always doing something
Like earlier I was doing mining quests while queued as dragoon
fading tulip
I like to stand in front of the market board and shop for materials to craft. Higher lvl crafting gives you better equipments after all.
twilit arch
very unlikely @amber ingot
first fanfest would've been in novemeber, which is when they announce the expac
since the TGS for 14 is just yoshi-p hanging out in-game on various servers answering questions with special guests, its probably not going to have anything super major
amber ingot
the European Fanfest at london tho hasnt been cancelled yet
leaden ginkgo
Ooo
amber ingot
its on february tho , and sounds kinda late
leaden ginkgo
When is that? Is tickets still going
twilit arch
at this points, its safer to assume its not going to happen
leaden ginkgo
😭
twilit arch
either way tho, don't expect much from TGS
halcyon glen
As of last update, they're carefully monitoring the situation and will make a decision
leaden ginkgo
I was supposed to be going to 'A state of trance' in august but it was cancelled
😭
amber ingot
its dangerous i know
but i gotta
know the name of that expac already jesus
at least the name xD
halcyon glen
I wouldn't expect anything until 5.4 at least in Nov/Dec
amber ingot
but they announce it usually at x.3 patches
halcyon glen
Both Stormblood and Shadowbringers afaik were announced during the x.4 cycle
amber ingot
oh
twilit arch
we would've been in 5.4 or close to it by now

at what point do you have to start paying the sub fee if content up to lvl 60 is all free?
agile laurel
when you hit Stormblood content
faint flare
Aka finish heavensward entirely
agile laurel
there is basegame, and 3 expansions. the trial encompasses basegame, and 1 expansion
ancient halo
thats so good wtf
agile laurel
do note if you choose to start paying sub early
faint flare
You do however, still need to buy the starter edition
agile laurel
then you're locked to it
elder storm
hey guys, can someone explain to me the best way to get yellow scripts as a miner in shadowbringers? I'm looking to get the tokens for the folklaw stuff but it seems like some of these might be timed nodes?
agile laurel
and you're out of trial
ancient halo
WoW be like "OH YOU WANNA GO TO LVL 21 THEN PAY MEEEEEEEEEEEE"
faint flare
As you dont own it
agile laurel
@elder storm you might want to consider custom deliveries
gloomy ice
Up to you really. Buying the game unlocks the markets and the remaining social features but, yeah, getting the complete edition before you hit the level cap would ensure you don't lose out on any exp earned post 60.
agile laurel
^^^ the kneecap on social features is the largest detractor
elder storm
@agile laurel yeah im at the collectables exchange in Eulmore, looking at the list for mining but seems like some of them are timed nodes like I said, just wondering if anyone knows if there's some nodes I could grind out that aren't?
ancient halo
Ok I see - Was the starter edition ever free because it says I have it but I never paid for it
faint flare
You'll cap out quick
agile laurel
don't think custom deliveries mean what you think they mean - have you done the quests for Kai-Shirr and Ehll Tou's weeklies? @elder storm
faint flare
Twitch did a give away
wintry chasm
^
faint flare
Which gave it free
If you have it
Then it means you're not on trial
AND HAVE to sub to use that account
faint flare
Then you're trial
ancient halo
what can trial accounts play?
ancient halo
Ok thats sick
zinc orbitBOT
ancient halo
So if I was to buy the starter editon I would just get rid of the gil cap and the other FreeTrial limitations?
gloomy ice
Right. Basically, the only difference between a trial account and the starter edition is the trial's lack of market access, the gil cap, and the semi-limited social features.
Content is identical otherwise.
ancient halo
Pretty sweet that it's not paywalled like most MMO's
wintry chasm
Paywalled?
ancient halo
Most free trials last a few levels and super limited content
ancient halo
That's awesome, would you say the playerbase is 'healthy' size wise?
gloomy ice
18m total registered iirc.

They haven't released a figure on active players but that's still a big number for an MMO

Does Silver-haloed Sack drop every time I complete floors 1-10 and so on till floor 30 or are they random ?
gloomy ice
Hoard drops are random. Also they have to be found before you can get them. They're hidden on random floors. You have to stand on their spawn point for a few seconds before they appear.
prime harbor
Not trying to be a dick but if 13e a month is a problem, than there seems to be much bigger problem than paying for game 🤷♂️

If i level up as an arcanist, does it raise the level of my summoner and my scholar classes?
faint flare
Yes

but if i level up Summoner, Scholar gets left behind?
faint flare
No
sweet leaf
so all three share the same level
faint flare
As you get arcanist experience
gloomy ice
SMN/SCH is the only job pairing so to speak as they're the only two to share a base class.
faint flare
Whenever you get xp on a job, you get the respective class xp
So arcanist xp, not summoner/scholar
Or gladiator xp, not paladin

zinc orbitBOT

gilded forge
Okay maybe I'm an idiot that doesn't understand simple math but how did the bomb placed in the middle capture both the left and bottom middle using "plus" I thought it had to add up?
gloomy ice
If both sums are equal, then Plus takes effect and the card placed wins both.
gilded forge
Both sums of which?
gloomy ice
Chocobo side is 7+3. Bottom is also 7+3. Since both sums are 10, the bomb card wins.
gloomy ice
Right
gilded forge
Got it, thanks

Also a gift card might work? As long as the amount converts to enough, that is.

@twilit arch Well i guess that would explain why i cant find it lol. Thanks
whole wasp
It should be in the settings
delicate forge
yeah but I use the arrows frequently, but I just don't want to drag around the hotbar when I just want to change my hotbar
or osmething
twilit arch
you can turn off the number without disabling the cycle arrows
delicate forge
oh shit really? let me go take a look, I swear you could only disable both together
twilit arch
actually, you also probably want to disable the "enable drag and drop repositioning" option
character config > hotbar settings
bold rain
is there a way i can check my id?
zinc orbitBOT
delicate forge
Unfortunately when I turn off that options I think you can't cycle through the hotbars anymore
but it seems like the ability to drag it around stays with the arrows and not specifically the numbers :/
strange coral
@bold rain Try searching your emails? Most SE emails don't include the id, but I found mine in an old one "[Square Enix Account] Account Registration Completed". However, they may have changed the email over the years
twilit arch
I'm not sure which option you mean disables cycling thru hotbars
because drag and drop repositioning option being enabled IS pretty much your issue
twilit arch
and disabling hotbar numbers isn't going affect cycling thru hotbars
