Adventurer in Need are not the bonus I mentioned
You can queue roulette with a DPS even when the roulette is giving it Adventurer in Need (Healer) bonus
alright then, so I stick to dungeons as anything but DPS.
Please
is the roulette bonus once per class/character/or account?
(i guess that would actually be a reason to have multiple characters with different jobs then?)
Continuation on potd
However, there are two things to take note of for POTD/HOH
- potd/hoh is not as good as dungeons in terms of exp/minute
- wiping in potd/hoh gives no exp at all
These are the risk you need to consider when doing potd/hoh.
That's not it
theres not really a reason to it though @flat ridge cause the reward for all the effort is lesser then just leveling up your doh/l and earning gil that way
Take note that the game give out hidden bonus when you are leveling others combat job in the same character.
Say your highest combat job is a lvl 23 Gladiator, then any other combat job (a lvl 14 Marauder) will gain a exp buff.
If your marauder becomes your highest combat job at lvl 27, now your lvl 23 Gladiator will get exp buff.
No, you don't need to level 2 jobs to keep the bonus active
Also... i made my account on twintania over a year ago... back then i got a bunch of bonuses for my exp (+100% for multiple months.. if i remember correctly...?)
Is it better to continue my level 58/30/30/30/30/30/30 character here, or should i start a new one for a new bonus?
is The Burn really that difficult?
I had a healer die 4 times in which resulted to the group just voting Abandon
@gusty pasture the last boss can be
yeah that last boss
Very easy to snowball into a wipe
i plan on getting all/almost all characters to the max level. So i will be grinding a lot
the healer keeps eating aoe and just wont stop casting when the proximity attack happens
first time I ever had to vote an abandon, and first time I've seen one
at this point I don't ever want to do that dungeon ever again even if it's a big-ass ffiv reference which I really like 😦
what a sour experience
@gusty pasture
Tips:
- tank want to stay very close to a wall to reduce the area covered by the boss breath attack
- Dps and healer should stack or stay close to bait the 8-direction ice blast
- run in opposite circle to find the hidden boss line AOE during the foggy part, and jump up and down near the edge if you found it
How important are the Gatherer Quests to do when just leveling it instead of trying to get things?
@gusty pasture its not, healer is drunk.
how much does projecting clothes cost? can i just do it with every common armor?
actually the burn was slightly more challenging then the typical dungeon for the last boss
but not much if you just open your eyes and do the mechanics
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
I cleared the burn last night and I found it easy just juggling around the aoes
viciouspink is asking about glamour no?
first time I had a group whine and quit
they even attack it when it's on mist form
np
those prisms are probably too expensive to use it on random stuff
they are cheap, they are only 200 gc seals or you can craft em, think they are fairly cheap on Market Board also
thank you very much for all the help guys
I got the achievement dungeon master but can't find the title 
How hard is The Minstrel's Ballad: Ultima's Bane? Can I queue into it via Duty Finder without issues?
@leaden ginkgo you wont find anyone doing it. its very easy
put it in pf
since you wont find anyone actually queueing for it
make sure its unsynced
Ya I had to do it by pf too
why unsynced?
Cos lv 80s can destroy it
is it possible to change server-region eventually? going from EU to JP servers
How exactly does Ishgard Restoration XP work? Turn in said it gave like 230k xp, yet i somehow got 1.8m xp? Even with 100% bonus, that woulda been 460k no?

because people want to zoom through it for whats it called, the zhole journal thing @leaden ginkgo
theres no real reason to actually do it
the equipment is 5 years old after all
vendor gear from ishgard beats it by far
Why do people do ishgardian restoration like what do you get
so level 80s do it just to finish the quest? @outer plank
@vital ruin super quick way to level crafting
@flat ridge Yes, you can play on EU servers and transfer to JP servers. Get it in EU, then your account region is EU, but that’s only for payment and expansions; you can play on any server in any server region.
pretty much. ultima ballad was back from when the cap was lv 50
Ooh I do need to level up Crafters
so any lv 80 can just walk over it alone
Yes
i mean transfering characters from EU to JP
Then I'll just wait until I hit 80
you dont even have to be 80 to steam roll it, just being lv 60 in 270 ilv gear or above is well then enough
You should be able via a character transfer buy
Ultima in particular is hard to solo at low levels, since the orbs colliding, along with the damage over time from the tank swap stacks do a lot of damage
@flat ridge
Orbs touching is like 40-50k damage and the DoT is like 15-16k and basically never wears off
@young fjord yeah, i know you can switch worlds. i just wasnt sure if different server-farm was also fine
To my knowledge nothing is stopping you from transfer between datacentre
Yes, not sure about region price
Should say in checkout
I know it used to be if you transfer from congested world to a prefferd world it would be free
Don't know if they still do that
can i trade dyes bought at the mogstation?
No
The way to trade that would be to apply it to a item, then trade the new color item with someone
But the pot of dye itself you can't trade
If you are thinking about buying Gil, don't do that. You don't need gil for anything and if you go to your local limsa dealer they will send you the stuff while also keylogging you in the process. Also that Gil gets marked so if you have bought gil from a account which got banned for gil selling you are prone to also get banned
Would not recommend

Can you make a mouseover macro for aetherial manipulation?
yes
that what i imagine most people use for aetherial
some just soft target a safe person
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <mo>
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation" <t>
/ac "Aetherial Manipulation <me>
/micon "Aetherial Manipulation"
I think
can you solo longstop normal? The 3rd boss can trap you in the bubble.
Yes
If unsync you will kill boss before he use bubble
Even if you get hit by it, you have so much health that it will expire before even doing 10% of your total health
So if you wear all +2 Elemental gear & Osode/Vermi chest, the only thing worth putting materia on is the Chestpiece since the other +2 gear is above ilvl 300?
can my lv60 i130 WHM solo Vigil Stone normal? Or maybe higher lv items?
you can very easily solo that
alright this is quite weird
iLvl 130 for a lvl 60 is kinda oof tho
Oh i forgot to ask about Dance Partner, which DPS should i partner up with?
assuming you have assize, it should delete most mobs quite easily
im in praetorium atm and still watching curscene, somehow someone managed to defeat nero when im still in cutscene
The one who does the most damage
how @@
well I get stuck with MSQ so XD
I see that they sometimes partner with NIN
If you partner someone, and glance at the aggro meter and he's number 8, switch
And DRG too
if they're partnering with the nin or drg then either they're better geared than the sam
and doing more dmg
or they're friends
Hmm
SAM may be the first choice but that doesn't mean its always the correct choice
yeah i will generally go with the priority for one pack, ascertain whether the 'high priority' dps that I partnered with is eating paste or not
like platt said, you wanna partner with the dps who's doing the most dmg
and then just switch
From my experience as NIN, i often get partnered up all the way from start to end
can give everyone's gear a quick glance to see who's got pretty good gear
So i was wondering about choice of partner
O interesting
dnc wants apm friends at later levels also to get more gauge
Sam, Nin, Mnk all got fast attack speed and uses weaponskills = build meter for the dancer, DRG is lower on list becuase it does not have a attackspeed buff like the others.
What place SAM over the other two with attackspeed is thier damage, as a permament 5% damage to a SAM is more than it is to a monk/nin (asumeing the player is not trash)
Sorry but whats apm again?
actions per minute
Actions per Minute
speed
does the mount drop if you do arr ex unsynced?
it can, yeah
thanks
@dapper oyster they logged out and logged back in

the cutscene is that long that people just do that
because its considerably more faster
people just want there poetics man
is ultima weapon's bane fight hard to do with a synced party?
no
@dapper oyster they logged out and logged back in
@outer plank yeah someone in the party just told me that...
is that ban-able?
technically, yeah it is
they should just fix those duties
They changed it for Stormblood because new people who wanted to watch the literal climax of ARR just got long-ass cutscenes because everyone else skipped and blazed through it
they should of just revamped the dungeon
To compensate, they upped the exp gain and poetics
honestly a cutscene every 5 steps
is really fucking bad
they had the chance to when going over the story to
but regardless
they learned there lesson
for titania ex chain, is it generally dps north ht south or other way around?
not to do that ever again
I completed my first savage raid and someone happened to upload to fflogs. I have purple on my name but I want to know how much percentage it was https://www.fflogs.com/reports/J9pYPNkHAwqvrWfL/
where do i find the percent at?
We always did ht north, but it shouldn't matter much since the boss will still follow the tank
damage done
ok got it thnx 
i tended to do ht northwest d southeast and adjust for growth runes but it makes no difference
@worn scaffold You have purple on your name because you're a dark knight. the number next to your name on the left is the measure of your performance
oof
oh yeah do you have to be slanted from your chained partner to break it?
say... is there a list of general useful tips...? there is a channel #protips-and-ui , should i ask there?
like "mouse-over spells" i heard something about
and "saying things in chat on spells" etc.
but also UI/HUD related things
"tips&trick / pro-tips / life-hacks etc etc." in general
aka. "things that you would not think about, if you don't know they exist"

about "saying things in chat on spells" for the love of god don't put some RP shit on your rez macro
just "rezzing [target]" is enough
I'm pretty sure no one knows exactly how far you have to run to break it, corners just lets you run farther
didn't ask for that 
but thank you anyways
i saw someone say: "I am an American doctor, your bill is 15 million gil" that was funny
alrighty thnx
@forest laurel what seenoc said
#protips-and-ui is more for ui, macros, that kinda stuff yes
i asked for "tips&tricks"... you don't have to double or triple answer with "but don't roleplay in chat" xd
we wouldn't have to say this if it wasn't so obnoxious and prevalent, even the people who think they're being smart by being ironic about it.

you can't come to the idea of doing some "mouse over targeting", without knowing it even exists in the game. is what i mean.
or "changing movement-options to legacy"
i always roleplay when i'm in dun scaith. but thats because my characters name is scathach eilean. and dun scaith is her home
found in extremely fun to see that scathach is in the game
Alright i think this can be dropped, no need to argue more about it
so... there isn't a common list for those things? or things veterans will tell beginners for help?
(like changing movement to legacy, or pulling your different jobs as short-cuts into a hotbar etc.)
well movement to legacy is a personal preference thing, but a lot of those are either things you figure out easily on your own by giving the config a nice browse thru
isn't playing bard with "standard" just a choke?
the character moves like... 0.4 times speed if you press S for backwards movement. you can only walk sideways or forward
wut
you can also adjust each ui element for target so you can make just the boss cast bar very big and put it near the center, i wish i learned this sooner
@twilit arch
either way legacy or standard movement is entirely personal preference
again, you don't back peddle
you strife to the sides if you need to move
Always strafe to side. if you need to run in a line then strafe in a line
Very importent in PvP
Legacy movement imo is trash in PvP, anyone who uses that can't run away and attack on the same time
I mean. ofc you CAN just always walk sideways. but if you are in range of an enemy attack, and need to move backwards, you need to 90 degree shift your camera, and then walk sideways, while legacy you can just... walk backwards
why would you not be able to attack at the same time?
again, its personal preference
you can attack while moving on standard
its not the hard
Legacy movement imo is trash in PvP, anyone who uses that can't run away and attack on the same time
You need to be turned towards your target when you hit the ability
you can just attack while moving on legacy as well.. or what am i missing
It then locked on
the character automatically turns around when you cast an ability, no?
For example, casters need to look on target when they start ability, while it's casting it does not matter if enemy go behind them
However, if they are not looking at target they can't start to cast to begin with
you can do legacy just fine in pvp too
again its personal preference which type of movement you play with
However, if they are not looking at target they can't start to cast to begin with
huh...?
is that accurate? or outdated perhaps?
i am fine with it being preference. but i never heard about that "not casting when looking backwards" thing
It's the same for every job, but "look at target when button is pressed" is on by default
examples?
you have to be facing your target to be able to use abilities
like... i am doing it right now, and my character automatically turns around for casting instantly
because you have the option to face target on
Yes, because that option is on
is ehll tou's custom delivery the best for scrips?
i have a question about the fate chain, breaching the hive and clearing the hive. for breaching you just need to break the gates. then clearing the hive starts which gives the objective "make your way to the heart of the redbelly high and defeat the captain". but when i do that it stays at 50%. is there something else that needs to be done?
If you turn it off you have to manually look at the enemy to cast spells
Ye, Ehll Tou and Kai-Shir since they're the highest, unless another npc has a bonus
Legacy movement imo is trash in PvP, anyone who uses that can't run away and attack on the same time
so.... what...? but automatically facing the enemy is (at least for me) the default on legacy... so...? i don't get this
is there any theoretical disadvantage?
how to know if items are bound or market-able?
if the item is bound to you, you cannot trade it
If you are running away (kite) from someone, and you have that, you will turn around towards them, hence no longer kiteing, This is not a problem while strafeing
an item that you've bound to will say "BINDING" at the top
and will have a number (other than 0) in the Spiritbond field
How do I add materia to something guys?
just noting that you've all got the movement options backward
If you don't, you can "Request meld" from another crafter or go to a city materia melder
If you are running away (kite) from someone, and you have that, you will turn around towards them, hence no longer kiteing, This is not a problem while strafeing
@young fjord
i just checked. mid-movement my character continues running forward with 0MS delay in movement
You need to use an NPC melder if you're not a high enough crafter level
Legacy is the one where you can run backwards
Standard is the one with slow backpedaling.
They'll be the materia icon on the mini map
Everyone seems to mix them up all the time
@young fjord is there a melder in every city?
your character does not stop in order to turn around. he will "glitch-run while continue to move and turn around at the same time" @young fjord
@young fjord what does a materia icon look like? A circle?
Blue gem
or maybe i am just not understanding it...
Its like a cyan oval stone
A cyan oval stone got it
are there spells with "cast time, that you can also move during"?
You can slide cast
No
For most of the cast you have to be standing still
Slide casting can only happen at the end of a cast
How do I do like goldsmithing stuff?
instant spells you continue with full speed on lecacy while running away from your enemy. and casting spells.. you stand still
You have to go to the crafter guild you want to unlock
Anyways, I think this can move to #general-discussion
How do I do like goldsmithing stuff?
@leaden ginkgo Go to the goldsmith guild, unlock the class, equip the hammer, and go to the crafting log
Since its not really answering a question anymore
and you can select what to craft from there
@wintry chasm thanks I think I was trying to do it without going to the guild
(It's in Ul'dah btw)
Thanks man
I saw something about class changing at a specific level did I read that right?
All crafter skills are identical right? So I can make a nice layout on my lvl 80 crafter, then just load that into all my other crafters so the keybinds are identical
yes
Do you have to do something special to get Kupo of Fortune 1 and 5 stuff? Its always greyed out
if you're choosing the option to the far left, then its never going to be 1/5
you need to choose one of the three options to the right
Ah
I saw something about class changing at a specific level did I read that right?
@leaden ginkgo When you've done your level 10 class quest on your starting class you can go unlock all the other classes
anyways now... for those general tips&tricks.... nothing?
i am not sure if #questions-and-help or #protips-and-ui is better for this question. #protips-and-ui is technically not a question-channel
@wintry chasm doesn’t a class sort of evolve or something when you hit a certain level
You should never really macro skills except some skills it can be nice for like "raise" since you could have a message in chat to say who you are ressing so both healers don't end up accidentally spending 5 seconds ressing the same person
@leaden ginkgo into jobs yes. It's a level 30 quest unlock. Gotta do your class quests and there is a MSQ requirement but that requirement isn't to hard to get to.
It's also only for ARR jobs
^
And expasion job is just the job, no "evolution tree"
expansion jobs are just standalone jobs
everyone here seems to know about
just "rez [target]"
as commands etc.
those are definitely not "in the Square-Enix tutorial".If you don't know about it, you can't know about it.
Forgive me but, are class quests the ones you get from guilds?
If you open up the user macro menu Vicious
there is a button that has EVERY command in the game
and explains how to use them
The ones you get from guilds starts/unlock the class, from there you have a new quest every 5 level
Thanks
You'll be doing class/job quests all the way up to 80 pretty much
You always want to be up to date with it
for skills
and gear
and whatnot
Yeah, doing those are some of the best gear for that level
(which does not cost a fortune)
I hope you're up to date
Whats the best way to level a second job from 1?
doesn't have stuff for Shadowbringers but still works for 1-70
Kill random stuff untill lvl 15, then deep dungeon if you are DPS, or highest level dungeon if you are tank/healer
For Shadowbringers just fates and highest level dungeon spam/roulettes
Kill random stuff untill lvl 15, then deep dungeon if you are DPS, or highest level dungeon if you are tank/healer
Nooooo
Don't kill random stuff
Yeesss
Time = exp
I see. I hit 80 on summoner earlier but I just started shadowbringers. I wanna try pal and got gladiator to 25 so far.
Armory bonus, Exp ring, FC buff, Food buff, you will fly past those early levels
On the plus side you have scholar at 80 too
Also if you do have someone to queue with to make queues shorter highest level dungeon spam > PotD for DPS
also no matter the role
do the roulettes each day
Also eating food constantly
Beast tribes can also give a nice chuck
If you need "just that push" to enter a new dungeon
Does hall of the novice give a little xp?
All of these words man it’s like I’m learning a new language
Nothing worth to mention, however you get a ring which gives you 50% exp boot up to lvl 30 @leaden ginkgo
Oh thats where its from? Huh
Hall of the novice is an area in... La noscea (?) Where it teaches you the basics for each class
there's a smith in every adventurer guild in the major cities and next to most of the leveling dungeons
They all function the same, in that they'll queue you for the hall of novice exercises so you don't have to specifically go to the western la noscea location
but that said, the game will literally lead you to the hall of novice in the msq
@young fjord
Hello do free trial players have access to Novice Network? Whats novice network?
Yes, they have access, however they need to be invited by a mentor, a mentor
Someone with this burgerkind crown
Novice Network, NN, is a special Server wide chat in which new players can ask questions
Pretty toxic on NA server tho imo
No experience there
how is it toxic
On NA and some EU servers people just use it to shitpost
On NA and some EU servers people just use it to shitpost
@young fjord waa that sucks
since mentors are suppose to moderate the chat, but not all mentors are very good
Requirement for Mentor is so low currently that pretty much anyone can get in
So its like 1 mentor and many atudents?
since mentors are suppose to moderate the chat, but not all mentors are very good
Yeah it's kind of a roulette on if it's good or bad
in a chat?
100 mentors 512 sprouts (new players)
More like 100 "mentors" who might not actually know or just fucking talk about spoilers or....just...idk shitpost about whatever
Not really

:flex:
Having the chat is the main draw tbh
Im bettee of here than a novice network
You'll actually get an answer here
Yea
You might get one on NN, or you might get shitposting
I should stress that NN can be good
On Lich it's good
It's just ehhh, will it?
Well im on Asia and the chat is probly gon be full on Japanese

And i dont wanna atresss out the japanese mentors
on what stat are the abillities second wind and bloodbath based?
so for DRG, the main stat for both would be str?
str, crit, direct hit, det. thats the priorities for DRG right?
although str, you should get enough of, of the gear itself

i can't find this map anywhere, tried every single known map location in the tempest to no avail, anybody know where it is?
tried them all, couldn't find it
that's for the 8 man maps
Whats the name of the map you have
That map is lankland?
its got more than lakeland
that'll explain why i couldn't find it, thanks for the help all - kaelwryn especially
is the Gridanian ring good? (Im level 19 conjurer)
It's better than nothing
I already have weathered ring and brand new ring and those look way better so idk if im missing something
Brand new ring is king
3+ all stats and 50% exp boost
That +1 Direct hit from gridanian ring you won't even notice
Like it might increese your damage by 0.0001 overall
Again, better than nothing, however resistance is pretty much a dead stat
cause weathered is just +1 version of brand new
what's the purpose of completing sightseeing log aside from the minion and achievements?
sense of pride and acomplishment
lil bit of exp
Paintings
can buy paintings of the vistas as housing furnishings
what's best to level past level 70? someone said PotD is good for DPS lv 1-70, otherwise just dungeons
For DPS, best exp/h is beast tribes at lvl 70+
Then roulettes
Then highest level dungeon
Then FATEs
to get allied rank wuth namanzu for example should i get bloodsworm rank with anatana and kojin?
You can get bloodsworn with everyone, they are all separate
yes, you have to get bloodsworn with all of the stormblood beast tribes and then do the allied beast tribe quest to get allied
@modest gust
You need to max out the Ananta and the Kojin too, that unlocks the final rank. (By completing the SB Allied beast tribe quests.)
home world transfer costs 18 dollar right?
Yes, it is 18 bucks.
The free one is if you transfer to a new world right?
Free is when you transfer from a congested to a prefferd iirc
Yes, or when you go from Congested to preferred
Okay thx guys
Transfer to new world is always free.
there's no new worlds though
Yep, the last 2 new worlds were Spriggian and Twintania a long while back. (When 4.57 was released.)
Yay!
You can think about what job to play while you wait o/
Demi, you are on free trial?
I see the game is downloading HW in that screenshot.
HW is part of the free trial now
so it is fine
yeah, gotta have another job at lvl 50 before you can get into Samurai sadly
Yes, but for Samurai you need to have a subscription @bold rain.
Because samurai is part of Stormblood. (So you need to buy shadowbringers to access it.)
ah right
dammmit
Ninja is part of the free trial though, but you can not start as one
so ill take a thing with a sword or soaring blades
Yep, Rougue is in Limsa.
And becomes Ninja. 
Gladiator/Paladin/Dark Knights are tanks
If you want Ninja asap take a job that starts in Limsa Lominsa and once the game allows you to change jobs (lvl 10) get over to the rogues guild
Yep, Maruader or Arcanist. Those 2 start in Limsa.
Ninja is the only one with double blades
double daggers to be exact, though some of them are rather huge 😄
Yep.
Chef knife as Culinarian
I had a brief moment of confusion
they were changed to soaring blades
here is a video that gives a good beginners overview of all the jobs btw
If this vid helped you pick a job lemme know, I wanna judge you on your choice :)

How to get more ventures
Buy them with GC seals.
Gotta hunt :/
You can get GC seals from FATEs or gear turn-ins...
Gear turn ins especially are much quicker than hunts for accumulating GC seals.
Why do people put things up on marketboard for 1 gil?
absolutely no clue, but probably due to the sale price or sheer volume of things
What sorts of things?
Are GC seals company seals
if you wanna go Ninja take Marauder or Arcanist
o I've like 30k of them
WHAT CLASS TO PICK
Whatever you want. There is a pinned video which kinda goes through how each job plays (albeit a bit memey)
What to pick here
gotta place those to lvl 10, then you can get the quest to become a rogue (which later becomes Ninja)
i am from the europe
Light or Chaos then
Then Light or Chaos
techniclly from the middle east but
Yeah dw we get you
But yeah Light and Chaos are the EU data centers
Not really a difference between the two
there are a lot of people in this thingie ?
Sure?
welp i guess ill go with light
You'll need to be a bit more specific lol
good choice o/
The only thing to note really with the EU servers is uh
Moogle is unofficial French and Shiva is unofficial German
otherwise go wild
^
bottom right?
select it, then go for the confirmation
^
There should be a button
i am a noob
bottom right should have a button to click on after you selected your data center
hi, so i would like to have my friend purchase stormblood expansion pack (na) for me since i live in sea, i would like to know if the codes from the dvd-rom are still usable..
this is the product i am talking about btw

would not recommend buying Stormblood only
Shadowbringers comes with Stormblood for free
Shadowbringers includes it these days
Why would you buy Stormblood?
@wintry chasm i would like to experience the game by expansion.... is that a bad thing?
I didn't even think you could still buy physical copies of Stormblood anymore.
not a bad thing
Yes it is Equeanor
you have to go through stormblood either way
because you can literally buy Shadowbringers, get the Stormblood stuff as well, and just ignore the shadowbringers stuff
and do EVERYTHING Stormblood first
can u trade raegan peppers?
im just curious if the codes are still usable
Probably if it's unopened
they probably are, no guarantees though
But it's a terrible terrible idea
no, they're untradeable @untold sand
ah ok, thanks.. i thought they would be unusable after a certain period.
Better to just buy Shadowbringers, which physical copy codes will definitely still work.
and include Stormblood anyway
You're literally just... throwing away money by buying them separately.
when you rank up a beast tribe rank, more quest will be avaible from quest-givers who you already turned-in before rank-up?
Yes. You get a rank up quest, then three new quests for the day.
on the post HW beast tribes yes the same npc
varies per tribe and sometimes per rank
on the ARR beast tribes you might need a different npc
no
so what is that bullshit
can unreal actually be compared to savage?
that is just your guardian deity
its just rp fluff
now i pick a city right?
starting city is dictated by your starting class
or rather a starting class
ah so thats an another thing
WAIT SO IT IS THE JOB
yes
don't worry about starter city, after level 15 main quest you can go to any of the cities
^
He said earlier that he wants to become Ninja
i took the gladiator thingie
Oh
so going for Limsa might be a good idea
That's Arcanist.
can you start rogue before you have access to airships?
Yup, Arcanist fights with a book
They start in Limsa, so that's fine if you want to be a NIN.
if you start in limsa, yes
^
thats why its strongly recommend if you want to play nin asap, you go marauder or arcanist
so i guess ill take a book
You can take a book, or a giant axes
ahhh nevermind
since you can get those two to lvl 10 quickly, complete the lvl 10 class quest and then switch to nin
or an axe if thats more your speed
Before your first dungeon at level 15 in the
it doesn't really matter what class you've chosen.
Because your role (dps, healer, or tank) doesn't come into play in solo content the same way it does in group content.
wait until you fight the guy
but i bought the game dammit
yeah...you have 30 days free which is the days of play time remaining
those don't count towards your total days subscribed
this is a subscription based mmo
and i can only play for 30 days!?!?!??!
this is a subscription based game, need to pay every month
which means it has a monthly cost
noo...
You have 30 days for free from buying starter/complete edition
after that you will have to pay to play
13~ bucks every month after that
it triggers automaticly?
If you have your sub set to automatic
^
THANK GOD
you can enable automatic payment or buy cards with x days of time
that is techniclly a pay to win game
Pay to win would mean you can only do well if you buy the best gear from the cash shop
so wait a sec if i bought the steam ver that means i have it for like 60 game
The cash shop in this game doesn't have any real gear.
it's pay to play so it doesn't have to become pay to win, like most "free" mmos
you can not buy anything that gives you an advantage with money
so not pay to win
well technically you can buy stuff that levels up your character but that is just a time saver
not like it is actually needed
well
Steam, PC, or PS4 version doesn't matter. You pay the same amount for the game, but you still have to pay a monthly sub.
and buying a job boost doesn't stop you being shite at it
just play for 30 days and see if you like it afterwards, no need to worry about all this now
as most of duty finder it seems can attest
the sad truth
and if you still have questions you will also understand them easier after actually playing the game :p
But that's why... they have a free trial version
Bro...the steam page tells you right above the add to cart that it's a sub game
So people can try out the game for free up to the end of the first expansion with no time limitations.
theres no revive on extreme difficulty?
Yeah, there are a few fights where getting yeeted is permadeath
But otherwise you can still revive
you can't revive yourself in trials or raids, unless the rest of the party dies
Titan, Sophia, Sephirot...
Leviathan
not Sophia
^
Yeah you respawn in sophia
and yeah some older fights, if you get pushed off the arena, you can't get revived no matter what
Also can't res in Rival wings
Just bad design
and the one exception is Rathalos Extreme, you can revive yourself there, but it's because you have a collective 3 lives across the party
Don't do extremes synced
Then your healers made the executive decision not to res
you can fall in striking tree? lol
You can't
btb
There's no falling in Ramuh EX
Yeah that was probably two angry healers
or two healers without Swiftcast because everyone is dying
Or two WHM too obsessed with GLARE
or no swiftcast and something is going on
There is only one raid where you can't revive people in the entire game, and you're nowhere near it
you can't revive in navel, that's super early
wym fissie
I'm talking no revives whatsoever with a corpse on the ground
which raid
Navel's a trial, not a raid.
Baldesion Arsenal
Ooh, Baldesion
if yeah
Does that even count tho?
You can cheese with sacrifice L
well you can with like, yeah cheese, but revive spells don't work
Sacrifice L chaining
(I don't think this is a constructive talk anymore)
^
agreed lol
okay wtheck
2nd time the whole team abandoned striking tree extreme
they didnt even try to communicate
That's kind of expected, Extremes and Minstrel's Ballad duties are endgame high-end fights
or mentor?
Dont queue for extremes
No one queues for Extreme/Minstrel's Ballad except sprouts who don't know any better
Do them unsynced
Use Party Finder if you really wanna do it
me was just trying to finish quest
i think i cant use party findernim just on free trial
Or wait until level 80 to faceroll it and get the loot with no effort

Yeah anything that says Extreme, Minstrel's Ballad, Binding Coils or Savage, don't queue for that
They're generally a lot harder than the rest of the game
Then Id wait to do it
Else you'll never clear it cause no one but new players queues for extremes
Everything high-end is done via party finder
I mean
It's not that you can't do all the 
It's just that
Some of them are harder to finish than others
ofc
well i guess ill just comeback to it later
nobody communicating earlier was just so hhhh
Since you're on free trial, you might need to just like
Find people here who are willing to run it unsync with you who have subs
Yeah once you get to 80 you can unsync that bitch and slap his shit in like 2 minutes
Since free trial can't use PF on their own

Yeah that's pretty much the thing with queuing Extremes. It's going to be a pain if nobody knows the fight and/or if people are not willing to listen to explanations
Mentors should still be doing their job
But they don't and tell people to use PF and quit after 2 pulls, but that's beyond the question lol
with unsyc they can use all skills?
Yes

Most would rather not make the effort sadly
Nobody wants to spend time doing synced EX fights at low level these days since it's easier
Just to unsync
but yea if i ever find people o guess
Nobody wants to spend time doing synced EX fights at low level these days since it's easier
@open coral well fair enough
Will savage next tier get released with the patch or later?
You'd definitely have better luck finding shb ex stuff but. Most people doing old exs want the rewards from them
Next major patch 5.4
Not the encounters
It will be released with 5.4
savages are always released with the patch, barring the expansion release
ok
that is the only time normal and savage is staggered
😳
where is the gladiator guild building?
Other section of Ul'dah
See the arrow with the
symbol?
Go to the Steps of Thal
Go through the dotted gates
k
They'll allow you to teleport to any other crystal inside of the city that you've attuned to
Do this for every city you get to
The big Aetheryte Crystal is also a city-teleport one btw. (Aethernet)
It's nearby
Just look for the quest markers that either have the flame-y symbol around them like 
Or the
"So you want to be a gladiator"
i see
Yoy know Demi, lots of players refuse to ask questions and just do something, so you are smart by asking questions.
That shows you actually want to learn. (We experienced players have seen lots of players that "refuse" it.)
you're zoomed way out on the map so that's why it doesn't have labels
it should be to the left of the map by the circle
Quests with "So you want to be a..." in the title are job starter quests. After level 10 you'll see a whole ton of them appear everywhere. You don't have to pick them all up if you don't want to though. Just do the ones related to the job(s) you're interested in.
sapphire avenue
Two ways to get to the market in Uldah
Either go back out to the main drag and head north(?) on the map
go to the right of your map
Or from the inside, also head north-ish - although you'll have to go through another dotted gate to enter the market.
yes
Yep
Personally I find Ul'dah to be the second most confusing starting city... after Limsa Lominsa
so where is tje giu
Please for the love of God zoom in on your map
^
^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
are bonus windows for ARR light still a thing?

ok ok jeez
Ok so I can be an archer and still do the, “so you wanna be a...” job at the same time right?
yes
Yes that is how you unlock the other classes Captain
I am new, can some1 help me farm MGP ?
!faq mgpguide
he's near one of the market boards
Awesome, thanks so much for answering. I was thinking it was going to change me from archer to whatever the job was and I wasn’t ready to give it up
I would wait for the make it rain event coming soonish
after that really really really long tutorial i can finnaly fight?
because that'll increase MGP gain
Awesome, thanks so much for answering. I was thinking it was going to change me from archer to whatever the job was and I wasn’t ready to give it up
Nah it'll just give you that new class' weapon
and you can just equip it and swap when you want
@bold rain If you...want
oh btw
Go back to the gladiator guild
pick up that class quest
The 
found it
A) it's xp and unlocks the hunting log which is a lot of xp
B) class quests are critical to the game for giving skills and gear
C) story reasons
!unmute @leaden ginkgo
try not spamming in all channels after asking here already
Is there a macro to turn off the animation of a specific spell?
for easy mgp farming do the fashion report & jumbo cactpot weekly, and try doing mini cactpot daily
No
no
You can't do it on a spell by spell basis
Ugh. I ONLY have issues with holy

Or you just
NOW where is the thing because i cant find it
Limit all spell effects.
you can just disable all spell animations from other players
map Demi
I don't wanna tho lol
too bad
I like seeing all the spells
Start to play with sunglasses
I just hate holy
Your map will always show you an arrow pointing you to quests that have an objective in an adjacent zone
got you!
in that journal menu it'll have a button that says "map"
@ashen pendant Personally I set everything to "limited effects" for everyone else and leave it alone for myself
Then it's only my Holy that blinds me 😄
^
That way I can still more or less see what other peoples' spells are doing, but mine are unaffected
Eh
get used to it
I mean, it's not that bad once you get used to it, like Calisaie said
it's the blue light that i have an issue with, idc about the others
If it's the color you might be able to play around with the game's color settings?
Holy is the most spammed spell in the game for WHM so its something youll have to deal with
Or if you're on PC you can try something with the Reshade mod
reshade mode?
Mod which handle saturation, ADOF, amognst other visual things
^
basically you can make the game look different and cool
Can even do stuff like this...if you wanted to
my eyes
Jesus
(slightly deviating but it ran pretty well actually)
wrt applying to fc, if someone is offline can their application be approved
or must they be online
They can get accepted while offline
aight thanks
@wintry chasm wtf is that gshade black magic
meh if anything, i'll just take a break from playing white mage for now lol
or hmmm
Just look away
@wintry chasm wtf is that gshade black magic
Think it was a preset called Johnni comic?
Or turn your effects off
just close your eyes
lol
Yeah, who cares about the tank
Me, the tank
I'm a tank
:c
Technically it is fell cleave that literally goes brrr
technically this is no longer answering anyone's question
therefore doesnt belong in this channel
Sorry o/

salty


Whats the command for the summoner rotation guide? I like the job enough to switch it to my main DPS, I just wanna make sure im doing it right
which one
Level 80
!faq smnguide
assuming you want something a little more indepth than the cycle image
Arigato
what's votekick abuse?
votekicking someone for arbitrary reasons
Like you queue with 3 of your friends but that SAM has a glamour you think is really ugly so you votekick them
what
In mmo culture this is considered a dick move 
oh you mean abusing vote kick
Yeah
blacklist doesn't stop me from being queued with them
it only stops you from seeing their emotes/whispers and being able to join their pfs
