There’s a ferry connecting Limsa and Costa
I was thinking it might be, but I can't remember the last time I used a ferry
Riding Midgardsormr? He is now a mount or something I can summon?

Yes
How close am I to the end of regular Heavensward not including later patches? I know that there is one more dragon that I need to fight right at the end
Very close to the end
The literal next quest you will do is the final quest of 3.0
Just one more dungeon and one more trial to go
The dragon who refused to bear peace?
This is potential spoiler territory anyway
He is a later patch then?
Yes
yes
Hmm
I'm Trying to check on the balance, but I don't find any optimal gears for AST
Is there one? Or do I just take the highest Ilvl I can?
better to ask on the balance than here tbh
ty
Guys.. is that even possible to get rid of the Watermark on Screenshots for PS4 ?
Is there a better way to lvl up SAM other than dungeons?
Did you get my say?
Is there a better way to lvl up SAM other than dungeons?
@heady orbit same as any other job, so no
could try potd if your queue times are really bad
what is the company chest?
Yeah, I was looking at something else 🙂
shared storage for an fc
is it advised to place items in there? can other players take your storage items within the company chest?
Never level 50/60/70 dungeons for leveling
Do the highest level leveling dungeon available
is it advised to place items in there? can other players take your storage items within the company chest?
@unborn dock depends on how each FC is handling things, they may place restrictions based on rank and so on
Atm im lvl 53
do note that it has nothing to do with the Grand Companies, even if these chests are placed there
So my best choice is lvl 50 dungeons
No
your best choice would be Sohm Al
Im lost now
Level 50/60/70 dungeons give almost no xp
which is a lvl 53 dungeon
Oh fk
They’re originally level cap dungeons
so this is more curiosity than anything but how does a full sting combo from BLU deal more damage than a melee LB3? what's the dmg formula behind the combo that makes it so much stronger? is it simply the INT that gets mulitiplied to absurd levels?
more or less
also since Final Sting can be enhanced and buffed by crits and other skills
and you can do it 8 times
And base potency of 2000 so buffs hit it up alot
Final Sting + Whistle + Off Guard is a total of like 3300 potency, I think?
- moon flute for another 50%
Plus condensed libra physical
basically, it breaks a lot of things due to BLU mage shenanigans
hay guys i want to ask something,now im level 33 thaumaturge,already defeat ifrit(from main quest) and want to change my job to blakcmage.i already finish the job quest level 30. npc yayake dont have any quest sign at all?anyone know how to fix this?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
Will skysteel tools get further upgrades like combat relics?
yes
Yes
5.35 is the next upgrade patch
5.35
yes, but not until like 5.5
We dont know
though, the ilevel doesn't really matter, it's the craftsmanship/control/CP stats that do
how much of a hassle are skysteel tools? I currently have handking...
ouch
on top of the material cost which isn't too hard
cheaper than current aesthetes tools which are 100k+ on the MB
the hell costs that much scrips
oooh ok2 thanks man for the info
but those are craftable, right? I keep seeing them when thumbing through "see recipes for this mat"
the scrip item? no
oh
the oddly specific craft? you have to craft it to turn it in
Unless you can crop in the capture gallery
@faint flare i see
As Regen healer in endgame content do you need to keep Medica II up?
Or do you only refresh it when people take damage?
kk
pretty much the only reason to use med2 is if your group's taken AoE dmg and you can let the regen top them off
Same for AST right?
yes
Just Celeste Opp when group take damage as Diur AST
Earthly star as well
Right
that said though, your ogcd aoes should be priority over med2/asp. helios
Endgame healers try to get through fights with using minimal gcd healing
Its free damage and hp
99% of the time, as Noct AST I don't need to Celeste Opp before group takes damage right?
I can just do it after group damage
if you're in noct sect, you generally wanna do it before tho
because noct sect CO is gonna be a shield
Yeah, but it comes with some healing?
yea, but in general if you're shielding you want to do it before the dmg goes out
not after
kk
But yeah, I'm mostly doing wolex PF groups, so I really don't have the courage to run double regen yet
So when co-healer is WHM, I go Noct
Like, I can't really think of any scenario where Noct AST saves lives in Wolex
a big example of when to shield is when WoLEX LB attacks
You mean Wolex LB 123?
I think Wolex LB 4 is set health instead of damage?
shields still work
you do
a mindset to get in when playing as noct ast is that your shields are there to prevent dmg
Is there something besides ventures that I should regularly be buying with gc seals?
Hun? So you still get LB charge when you heal someone when they are really low health?
prisms (to keep or sell) or crafting materials
Materials like Coke
I thought they patched the "quickly unequip and equip and heal to farm LB" thing
so it's best not used to rely on for LB gen
they did
you can't generate LB outside of combat
Right, and you can't unequip in combat?
yep
no you should
To get the sweet sweet LB charge by healing after LB4
it still brings you low enough for some LB charge even with shields
I see
I think I heard that if you mitigate too much you could die from LB4 lol
Any mitigating you do is less healing that needs to be done. Its essentially the same mindset like when you are playing tank
Basically if the game detects you didn't take damage from LB4, it hits you again
Only if you basically have shields to double your HP
Yeah
which isn't possible at level 80
I’d be surprised if you could somehow get 100% hp worth of shielding at 80
Well
But yeah, you pretty much need to do it on purpose
I did saw people on Reddit deliberately recreated the bug though.
You can only kill one person like this though
Is it possible to die from LB4 if you have used Tank LB3?
kk
well, i do still have that gif of half the group dying from lb4
while the other half lives
|| https://gfycat.com/formalthoughtfulleonberger || probably irrelevant, but hey, what harm is there sharing it?
What's CT?
crystal tower

yep
basically
I'm gonna try to tank Wolex for the first time
I mean what's the worst that can happen?
Yeah
and for fuck's sake remember your positioning is not that of a dps
been there
done that
Swap is just one person Provoke one person Shirk right?
Yeah I never cleared Wolex with DPS before lol, only done it with AST
pardon?
Posted in wrong channel probably lol
What's in the high end section of PF?
It's Wolex, E5-8S, what else?
the ultimates
Shiva unreal
Oh
kk
Memory Memory EX is just trail right?
What do you call that trail?
Memory Memory EX?
The Inception one
memoria miseria extreme
Cool
yes its just a trial
It's quite popular because the Glamour is Dyable AF right?
aye
is it possible to gather low level dark matter?
hi guys my previous SSD broke and i had to get a new one... the error of install on 1.2% keeps terrorising me, i have tried everything it still wont work T_T what can i do ?
is there a way to get the items outside of the launcher and the launcher reads em ?
previously it worked just fine...
its steam version of ff14
have you tried verifying game files through steam
i had this issue on my previous laptop and gave up on the game on pc and played on ps4 but now i have a cool pc i dont wanna play on ps4 anymore T_T
yeah
all installing unistalling
on different discs
https://appuals.com/fix-ffxiv-unable-to-download-patch-files/ w.e this thing said i did too
actually cant verify cache on steam cuz game rn is just launcher
got a new tartarus keypad so excited T_T sadness and sorrow bgm
I would uninstall from steam, remove the launcher using windows uninstall/add/remove and then restart my pc
wdym remove installer ? if i unistall from steam aint everything gone ?
I don't know. I don't use steam for this game
I would confirm that the launcher has been removed and not just game filles
aight i will try restarting nothing to lose anymore
result: they claimed it was a bad node inbetween myself and their servers. Resolution: took me 3 days of babysitting and restarting the download for it to finish.
Xivlauncher MAY help? idk but it exists and is really nice.
lookup xivlauncher, idk if it will help buuut even if not, once its downloaded its a nice launcher (autologin, tiered downloading etc)
otherwise yeah sorry, the only thing that worked for me was literally babysitting my ps4 for 3 days and restarting it 🤡
Why is there so many 1HKOs in Cyrus Tower that has never happened before? Did they change something with that in the most recent patch? I usually excel in Cyrus Tower
Nothing was changed in Syrcus Tower.
@limpid copper you could try contacting support if nothing else works
Not hiding from Amon behind ice, not standing on floating platforms for final boss Ancient Quaga
this is gonna sound sad cause it is, how does a noob acquire elm logs?
check your gathering log as a botanist if you have that
They didn't change anything in Syrcus Tower
nothing gg
Either the healers aren't healing or you stood in an aoe on accident
Ok vendors don’t sell the raw elm logs
maybe an end of an aera rip 14 for me T_T
You’ll have to gather them with a level 15+ botanist in Central Shroud, or more simply go to a marketboard and buy from other players (should be very cheap)
where is the market board and do i have access with the free trial?
no you dont
well guess imma join botanist gang thanks for the info
maybe an end of an aera rip 14 for me T_T
@limpid copper dont worry, support should be able to help you out.
are parsers supposed to show data on dummies
Yes, they show it on anything you fight
i need help, what's the highest populated server?
Hm. I'm having trouble setting it up
im new
Ah
Server population doesn't matter
Yeahhh
Datq centre does
and i wan't to play with the most people
Everything is cross server
Well
You can freely visit other servers on the data centre
You're not gonna be able to play on a high populated server
Most of those servers are congested
And not accepting new characters
Server populations are basically balanced
Seeking out the highest population one just means you’ll never be able to own a house tbh
But they fluctuate up and down slightly all the time
except if u fine with company house and private chamberts
Or an apartment. In some cases
Everything is cross-server so it doesn’t matter anyway
Apartments are available on every server
Besides DF and PF is cross world anyways and you can basically live on other worlds, so the only thing that matters with world is housing and MB health
@limpid copper dont worry, support should be able to help you out.
@oak smelt really hope so
Honestly tho, are there even any vacant lots for houses even now? Lol
Barely
The only thing that you'd need to ne on a specific server is if you're joining a specific fc or playing with friends
Anyway don’t worry about it
Unless people transfer off. There wont be much
Server population isn’t something you should be worried about no matter how much you want to play with people
Exactly
It’s basically balanced due to balancing incentives.
Also any and all duties you do you'll be playing with people across that datacenter
So won't matter in the slightest
Just pick a datacenter you like and go
what do the people in the balance community do exactly?
is there any point for a casual player to see what its all about?
are they number crunchers? get down to the nitty gritty of dps etc?
but then why would the community be so large?
Basically they're the theorycrafters and guide makers. And they hold the resources on how to play your job
And can help you improve
the wise sages
definitely worth checking out for rotations if nothing else but yeah plenty to check out
Discords are far easier to update than websites so its easier to just have basically a Hub discord for guides and all opposed to website
*also just to chime in server populations can be important to some people. especially say compare a relatively low pop server to a high pop one. the smaller one will feel far emptier while going about your business. and things get much more empty on off hours.
if someone cares about the "feeling" of activity then lesser populated servers can have a downside. dunno about NA, it seems to be true for EU to some extent comparing say spriggan to one of the bigger servers, and its definitely true for JP.
Isn't spriggian low population cuz it's "new"
you could always use world hop if you want a more "active" feel
^
but even then, like low level zones generally aren't going to be very active feeling on most servers
most people are standing around in the cities or end-game hub
even on a decently populated server, only the cities seem abuzz, i barely remember ever running into anyone outside of town lol
except at like fates or whatnot
tbh doesnt really matter anymore since game aint like WoW that raiding is tied to guild
Server population only fascinates me but thats it
u can be anywehere u want u can do anything on all servers
Regardless like I said you can't join "high population" servers rn because most of them are congested anyway
So even if you wanted to you literally can't
Which role has lower queue times? Tank or Healer?
just select the one with ppl that raid or RP on what u are interested from the 2
i would just say go chaos
since before i moved to AUS it was the only real choice if u wanted to do raiding
prolly tank lower
it changes
Well yeah
I mean in that sense then its both and tank and healer then
leveling is because
Just wondering if healer lower
we are so deep in the expansion
most people that leveled are already kinda max
if its not ur first class i would reccomend deep dungeons
Not that tank queues were lower in the first week of the expac anyway
what with everyone and their mom leveling GNB
and no one leveling healers
SQUALLLLL
How long ago was the expansion released
IM SQUALLLL
hello, my friend just unlocked Eureka (we're in anemos) but tbh i dont remember anything at all from Eureka in general, i remember there were fates? but theres nothing in anemos, and killing stuff doesnt grant him exp, what do we do? how do we get crystals?
July 2019
Wow that was a long time ago
Not really
is there a way to reset the fishing cap timer?
And there's still a long time before the next one
Not even one expansion a year
none was motivated to be a damageless scholar, but then whm samas came out
@fiery urchin If your teamed with him, he wont get xp since hes 1 and your higher probly
well most expas on MMOS are 2 years
Theres a challenge log to get really nice xp
so we are already in half of it
No because our expansions are good and therefore take time to make 😛
leveling stops usually around 3-4 months into the expa
at least from my experience, i started at the end of stormblood
and it was painfull
And there's 5 major content patches between expacs
but deep dungeons was the best
so are we due for another major expansion by the end of the year?
no
Next year
oh wait we're on 5.3 yeah
Summer...or autumn cause of corona pushing shit back
We'll probably get a trailer fourthcoming but not a release
development will prolly get pushed back cuz of how corona impacted some delays
Deep dungeons sound fun, what level can I start those?
The cancelled fanfests were meant to give us teases on the expansion
u can start em from 1
Unlock is lv17
if u have them unlocked
But can enter at lv1
Oh I see
Palace of the Dead is for ARR & HW leveling
Heaven on High is for Stormblood
good for alts
Yeah, I just started.
sorry first job
and trusts are for ShB leveling 😛
OK thanks for all the info. This game is sort of confusing.
Though we're expected to get what is likely our Deep Dungeon equivalent in a week or two
for 71-80
Bojza
great
I just do dunegon runs from 71-80
it won't be a deep dungeon but it will be a way to throw levels at alts
so I can't power level him? @granite swan
It doesn't bother me personally and I almost have the amaro mount
I never liked fate grinding
In any sense
it just sucked for
Which is why I never do it
dps
Yeahhh I feel that
was the reason i kept pushing myself to like tanks and healers
played once was wack slow af
maybe they get stronger
or they were bugged on release
It's always gonna be slow
trusts are programmed to take roughly 30mins
Because they don't want them completely replacing player ran dungeons
g-guys... you arent asking questions anymore..
But 30 minutes in a dungeon vs 20 minutes in DPS queue AND 15 minutes in dungeon?
its a discussion
@fiery urchin You can heal him outside of the group while he kills the mobs, if you hit it, the xp gets a massive penalty
i did deep dungeon kinda analysis to see till when its efficient to do it and how, but on the 70~80 im so clueless
The missing variable there is Bozja Southern Front

Ya but who knows when its coming out :p
we can guess
soon (tm)
^
since unlike its Eurekan predecessor, Bozja is open to any alt job level 70+ and grants exp to help level alts
Oo is it more worths it to buy a fc room or an apartment ?
Fc room is cheaper
you can lose the fc room tho
personally recommend buying an apartment though
because you can't lose it, unlike the fc room with you can if you get removed from the fc
Do the apartments look different depending on which area you get it ?
nope
but if you're comfortable with your FC, it's 200k cheaper for an FC room
Hmm I am pretty comfortable with them but I only joined maybe a little less than a month agos
Oo also how hard are orchestrions to comes by ?
Definitely want one for ether the room or apt
they're not really that hard, just likely to be a bit expensive on most servers depending on how much gil you've got
I have about 1 mil and 600k
since both table and normal have some timed node items
anyone know what the optimal dungeon to run for GC seals is?
Are the fisher life achievements impossible to get once you've level passed their range?
anyone know how to make the game look good?
care to dm? wouldn't mind some help
i cant help much with reshade since i dont use it
Can i share my tabletop food with my friends? I got an apartment and wanted to celebrate it with them, but i can't seem to find a way to make them eat it (bought 3 cakes so it's kinda sad..)
They should be able to see a small white arrow above the cake if they can interact with it
You can't interact with food unless you're the owner/tenant/fc member
Yeah, that would make sense
And you can only be a tenant or fc member at a house unfortunately
I see, thank you all for helping!!
what's auto renewal
In what context?
It just automatically pays your sub when you run out
Can people join in progress after someone is kicked from a low level dungeon?
Yes
how do i turn it off
By ticking the option "join dungeons in progress" and then specifically queueing for that dungeon
Auto renewal should be in your payment options on the mogstation
i used an entry sub

so i used entry sub does that mean i have auto renewal?
if you set it to auto renew yes
i dont know where to find it
mog station
and then what
correct me if i'm wrong, but if you cancel your sub it'll be the same as turning off auto renew, no?
you still get the remaining days you paid for
yikes
Can someone join darkhold in progress, I dunno if it's gunna be an impossibly long wait
On...light
ok so my sub says entry and recurring
As a dancer should I be popping devilment before using tech step or after ?
Nvm, thanks
after @grim adder
!faq balance
for rotation information
what does this mean
Does any know where can I find people to practice fulmination savage?
is there a guide for all gathering/crafting class?
@spare plinth recurring should mean it will auto-renew
oh dear,
i'm honestly not sure how to turn it off, i use game cards
so mine looks different
and then you can start the subscription again anytime after, i believe
oh i guess when my sub ends i can cancel it
you cancel it in mog station
@gritty sand you would put up a party finder saying as much
@spare plinth no no
"Learning party"
if you don't cancel it, it won't ever end
it will stop auto-charging
or i have to click on cancel service
cancel service cancels your entire account
@polar hound I don’t have any markers for the savage so I can’t lead the party
that's why it's a learning party
You dont need to have then
you learn
Just write "bring macro/markers" if you want
I’m playing on ps4 so I have no idea
options>waymarks, its a click or two to save/use
i started ps4 and play on pc with ps4 controller, everything except chatting was pretty accessible
i cant remember the submenu that waymarks are under but it's like 2nd or 3rd from last
where's the quest to unlock tsuyu ex?
is there a way ingame to show items? LIke if I want to see what the old relic weapons look like
@limpid copper what did they say? they cant have said sorry we cant help go away.
dont they have a ticket system?
could also try asking here again later, maybe someone not online atm can help.
Just talk to the wandering minsitral in kugane for tsuki ex
After completing stormblood
markets
At the markets
@shy gull you can right click and "Try On" if you have an item link ingame or can find someone that will link it for you
He unlocks stormblood exs
if you dont have the item in some form though, youll need to find someone that does orrrr conceptmatrix on pc
@limpid copper what did they say? they cant have said sorry we cant help go away.
dont they have a ticket system?could also try asking here again later, maybe someone not online atm can help.
@oak smelt pretty much thats what the ended up saying
they even told me to ask ISP and steam lel
basically told me to get stuffed but ok
they told me it was a bad node between me and their servers too
thanks
just kept trying. and trying.
#technology-discussion may be able to help more im not sure though
is there a retainer guide?
!faq retainers
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
Lovely
so end date for sub is when the sub ends and you cant log in
and estimated date of billing is when the auto renewal will do its thing?
yea
Will the extreme trial mount for 5.4 be trade-able via 100 tokens in 5.5?
should i watch a guide for tsuyu ex if unsynced
@tight kettle should be
or it's pretty doable
Is there an easy way to find someone to help me take down Ramuh Extreme? Just spent 40 mins straight wiping, and I just want the clear
@tidal yarrow yes
tsuyu has doom-like mechanics that will 1hit ko you if not done right
and other stuff so yeah
on normal yes
And how getting 5 stacks of them is bad
that but different
Thanks!
with meteors that need to be dropped with the proper color debuff on the player etc
In EX, you start with 4
You still need to respect the Moon phase basically and do it correctly
@inland beacon You can put up a Party Finder and ask for some help doing it unsync'd. You can usually find someone that's willing to help you out for the less than a minute that would take.
one 80 is all youll need for ramuh ex and people may need him for WT
so the day of the end date is where i should end sub so i dont get auto renew?
You can end early
@tranquil valve Thank you. Do I hit "Undersized Party" for unsync?
^^ you can cancel right now
Yes
I figured out how to do it in DF but not in PF
@inland beacon Correct
Tysm
im a bit nervous about having an auto renew take some money from my debit
Oh I'm on trial so I can't use PF. 🤣
cancel it now, you can resub whenever
@inland beacon I'd help you out myself, but I don't have a Crystal character. Only Aether and Primal.
Thanks anyway
It is what it is chief. I appreciate the willingness to help.
Guess I'll just turn the quest off in the Journal and call it done
best bet is to ask around in chats you can access, for someone to help you with that
is there a way to vote kick someone out of a dungeon?
@drifting burrow Yes, if you open the party menu, there should be a vote dismiss option.
You can only use Say, Party, and Alliance chat on trial afaik, so I can't dm or yell
To Limsa Lominsa. Thanks again
@inland beacon Try a /say in Limsa plaza asking for help unsync'ing.
^^
Should be some kind soul available.
Where is the NPC who sells Turquoise Green Dye? The MB has it listed 5x the shop selling price
@drifting burrow If you're really miffed about it, insults like that can be reported. He'll likely get a warning if it's the first time he's been reported for it.
I usually just let that stuff brush off though
Turquoise green dye is via the Slyph beast tribe
Nearest Aetherite?
"the fish gets away" even with the highest possible gear, is this still RNG?
yes
Slyph are at Hawthorn hut and east
@sharp meteor FSH is the RNG life. Live it. Breath it. Fish it.
The Slyphic vendor
Thanks
its the last crafter/gatherer class I have to level. I hate it 
Name of NPC? I just see a tailor
Slyphic vendor
It's on top of the tower thing
He does not have it 😦
Every time I do a sylph quest they tell me to do a nonexistent fate
they exist
Fates take time to spawn and rng which spawns
they dont exist 24/7
Not to mention the joy of ARR relic quests.
Is HW relic quests better? I really want the HW grimoire
yes and easier at lvl 80
doing it at level would be torture
Like 13k poetics for the whole thing
Well... I suppose Shadowbringers is easiest at the moment lol
I see that I need Sylphic currency for the dye but it says that I have no items to trade but my inventory is 75% full
you get the currency from the dailies
So I cannot get the currency
ARR beast tribes give their currency once yoy rank up high enough
if you havent done them yeah
It says "currency exchange" but will not let me give them items
thats different
I guess I am stuck paying 1500 off the MB. I just need three
Currency exchange is usually to spend that specific currency for that thing
1500 a piece
1500 isn't so bad
it is when "shop selling price" is 300
it's really not, though
Still pocket change
um no lol
err yeah my mistake
Just have to ask yourself if the price difference is worth not having to level up Sylph just for dye. I'd say it is, personally.
but still, 1500 is super inexpensive regardless
@tranquil valve Sorry to bug you again, someone in Limsa said I won't be able to run it unscync'd without have previously completed it. Is this true to your knowledge?
No
@inland beacon That's not true. You only have to have it unlocked in Duty Finder.
the amount of gil you get just from doing MSQ and roulettes already more than eclipses 1500 that you'd spend on buying dyes off of mb
Hmm... I'll try a different city state.
Every extreme that I have completed was unsynced
Limsa is the most populated
Yeah, no one does ARR EX primals sync'd nowadays
I'm well aware after sitting in queue for 1-3 business days, as a healer no less! hahaha
@inland beacon You could always visit another world on Crystal and try their Limsa
Funny I rarely see people in Ul'Dah. Gridiana is second. At least on Ultros
Limsa is popular due to the aetheryte being so close to the market board and summoning bell
So we lazy people go there
whats synch and unsych mean for ex dungeons?
Sync - you get synced down to that level and your gear is brought down
Unsync - go in as you are
Limsa is the easiest to navigate as well
Anyone have a guide to reading every little icon on the item UI tool tip?
ok thanks!
@modest igloo It's essentially a way to blitz through content on EZ mode. If you go into a level 50 duty as a level 80, you're going to one shot everything.
can i get dark knight even though im before ultima weapon quest
interesting
No, dark knight requires you to be in heavensward
oh D:
@wooden ginkgo No. The DRK unlock quest is inside of Ishgard, which is only available once you start the Heavensward expansion.
My brother-in-law at level 80 says that he still has a hard time navigating Ul' Dah
Which is 80 quests after Ultimate weapon
noo im so far lmao
Eh aether shards make uldah not so bad
Then no
That is what I said @faint flare
Because you're trial
D:
what about mch and drk? trial has hw stuff right?
thanks
Can someone help me with what the little icons on items mean? there is no explaination
That is to say, Jobs added by the expansions are unavailable to you.
fire
Other ARR jobs you can still get.
Red mage and samurai unlock at 50 but that requires owning stormblood, aka owning the gamr
daMN
wait i'm dumb
@north lotus which icons
i didn't scroll up lol
Discord stole focus
What do these icons mean?
left is company crest, middle is glamour dresser, right is armoire
Able to apply guild crest, able to put in armoire, able to put in glamour dresser
in the wrong order
other way
Can have FC crest, something and Can be put in armourie
means you have 0
how many you have on your person
you have 0 normal quality of that item and 0 high quality of that item
you have 0 NQ and 0 HQ
@wooden ginkgo If you're enjoying FFXIV during ARR, then you will 100,000,000,000% fall in love with the expansions. Almost everyone agrees the game gets exponentially better.
= high quality
does it count retainers?
oooh ok :D
or just my inv
no you can do /isearch though and it will
ok ty
/isearch itemname
/isearch was a gamechanger when I learned of it
It doesn't have to be the complete item name either
/isearch healer, will show any item with "healer" in it's name
So helpful when I forget if I have something, or where it is, since it also shows you where the item is located.
so it searches my whole account?
Every inventory on your character.
just says name not where its located
but very nice
tyvm
sec lemme try another item
including retainers, glamour dresser, chocobo bag, and armoire.
it shows up in the chat window, then you can right click the name
search item
damn forgot i had a chocobo or that he could hold items
or the like
OH
so it searches every inventory on the character
and if i right click and find item it will show me where its at
that is what they said
big game, lotsa seemingly confusing stuff, nw
There's a lot of small features that are never discussed in-game.
yea the ui is pretty awful and items really arent fun to look at for newbs, hard to bring people in..but I enjoy it a lot.
well its old and they have had to add a lot
For instance, I don't believe the auto-translate is even mentioned in game.
it gets much better as you progress
modularized tf out of it
ARR was hugely an experimental time for them..50+gear starts getting much better to look at
occasionally I see 2 part crafting macros, how do they work?
yea thats good
You just press the second part
press one macro, wait til finish, press next
After the first one is done
usually theres a noise at the end of macros to denote it ends
why wouldnt you just... put them together?
You cany
character limit
because its too big
OH
Max is 15 lines
15 line limit
ARR gear was largely leftover assets from 1.0
still new, my bad ty.
all good
pats u
@severe tusk Never feel bad about being new. Everyone was new at some point.
I've been playing for a month, and I still feel like I dont know anything
And in fact, because of the new free trial limit, there's a lot of new players.
yee
a month is short
you wouldnt even get through the story in a month if you were taking your time
random fact. if you or someone in party gets disconnected mid-duty and your party list goes whack.. just type /psort

TIL
I'm at the start of shadowbringers and hit 80. I've just been no life-ing it cause of covid unemployment
Well, I've been playing since 2.0 beta, and I just learned something new today lol
switch jobs to soak up exp
it's a 10+year old game
It's a 7 year old game, not including 1.0.
I started leveling gatherers and crafters. I'll probably just level gunblade to 71 to finish the story
What does this icon mean next to someone's name?
busy
busy
Gunbreaker is a lot of fun. It's my favorite tank. Probably because it plays like a DPS.
10 years old as of september 30th, 1.0 included.. considering remnants exist from 1.0 idk
we dont talk about 1.0
@sturdy mason They set their status to busy, so they can't be whispered or traded, or invited to parties I believe.
we can talk about it
I don't like the concept of gunbreaker >> but fun is different
be dancer
Drk best tank
like a singing man but dancing man
if youre no-lifing it, any tank/healer will level pretty fast.
best tank is the one you have the most fun playing
play what you enjoy or think you may
Quick Question: Can you reach iLv to 500, before joining Savage trials for the first time? 
Even if you don't no-life it, you can fully level any job within about 2 weeks.
@quaint forge yes
is there a website that shows a list of GATEs that are currently actiive?
Sweet, thanks.
Yeah but it'll take longer
but i wouldnt recommend it
I started leveling paladin, but palace of the dead is kinda boring
you can just spam highest level dungeon
always dungeon grind as healer/tank
oh. queue times?
@quaint forge It would take quite a while, since at that point it's about farming tomes, but it can be done.
Okay, so in order to give a fast process, then you have to go take Savage? 
BiS is a mix of savage+tome gear
It's only recommended for dps with queue times >15m
if you dont savage, you need to spend a Lot more on tome gear for 500 ilvl
you can do savage with i490
Yeah that’s what I heard
yah
The blue tomestone things?
yes
@severe tusk yeah same as any mmo really, tanks/healers are always in demand so their queue times are way lower than dps. usually instant pending the content. the queue time makes potd more efficient for dps for this reason
also theres no point doing savage if you already have all i500 and dont care about bis
highest level dungeon spam (NOT 50/60/70/80 dungeons, those are level-cap-for-their-time dungeons and do not offer much exp as a result)
also palace doesn't really do a good job teaching you how to play your class because everything dies too fast
5.4 will
Decemberish.
In like, two weeks probably
o shit
We don't know 😦
Early October ish
hopefully
#soon
#plzlookforwardtoit
We haven't been given a date, but we can estimate based on previous schedules.
I would HOPE they're showing it off at TGS
so that we'd get it the following week
but irono
which DoH crafting job gives the most gil?
SE's segment this morning was 100% NieR team trolling each other.
so im good with weaver?
irono raiders need pots and foods
what's the cap on allegory tomestones?
@manic flare Most people agree that it's best to level all of the crafting classes at the same time, since most recipes call for materials made by other crafting classes. For instance, a weaver might need materials made by a leatherworker.
2k
sorry, I meant to ask for the weekly cap, which appears to be 450
Best way to sort the Marketplace?
seems like a bit of a mess
not many sort options
or by price or anything
click the categories
@remote lintel what do you mean weaver can make glamour
can you increase the weekly cap of allegory tomestones?
it'll be uncapped when 5.4 drops, but we'll have a new tomestone instead
The intro/menu cutscene. Is that what happened 5 years before the start of the game?
and phanta will be phased out
you can, once it's phased out you can trade it in for allegory
@queen flame if you mean the thing with the meteor and huge dragon yes
@queen flame https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39j5v8jlndM This one?
on a 4 to 1 exchange i think
Yup
Mind
I assume they are picking gear
Mind > Piety > etcv
the bigger ilvl
yea i need some pieces to get into lvl 50 dungeons
ironworks
Higher ilvl usually have higher primary stats and vitality
@tranquil valve It's slightly different, but yea
Primary stats are mind, intelligence, strength, and dexterity
get the bigger ilvl
For healer, they want mind
yes it will
Yeah, it was kinda whacky at low level
unless you're looking at a totally diff class
if I exchange phantasmagoria for allegory, does the conversion counts towards the new tomestone weekly cap?
i wont argue much but im looking at items that dont have mind or piety on them that are bigger ilvl
Where you can get All Classes Accessories
get ironworks
maybe youre right ill check
assuming you beat ARR
But they are obviously not for any classes with their stats
Allegory wont be capped with the new tomes and won't count to thr new tome cap
thats lvl 60 stuff
@leaden ginkgo what happen is when 5.4 is out, a new weekly cap tomestone will be introduced.
So your phanstama (obsolete in 5.4) can trade for Allegory (standard tomestone in 5.4)
Thats crafting
oh my b ty
have you done your level 50 job quest?
it only has crafting and gathering in marketplace
the other stall
do your job quests
You’ll get a set of gear from it
Ironworks DoW/M can't be traded on Marketboard
