how do i stop myself from falling down when fighting titan?
dodge
Dont get hit by landslide
dont stand in the red areas
i moved away from the markers but still got pushed down
you were too slow
could it be high ping issues?
probably
Falling on titan is a rite of passage
also all his aoes come out faster than any other fight up to that point
he’s definitely a step up from previous fights
seems like fire 3 refreshes my astral fire, why is using fire 1 better?
because it doesnt take 5 years to cast
ah ok
tyvm
so hmm, 1 extra second gives me all 3 charges of astral fire so its still not worth it? I believe you im just trying to figure it out thanks.
You use fire/bliz 3 to swap
ah ok i was using transpose
You never cast then in their respective stance, at least without a firestarter prox
1 is cheaper and can proc a free fire 3
!faq blmleveling
if i activate shadowbringers when i'm in-game, will it immidietly log me out, and force to download expansions the next time i login?
it should update next time you log in
i'm mostly worried if it will kick me out of the game
prob not
I'm trying to launch FFXIV, but it keeps giving me a "DirectX End-User runtime" error. I downloaded the required application form the Microsoft site, but it says that an equivalent or newer Direct X is installed. How do I fix this?
is stormblood like heavensward was with dragoons?
where if im a ninja the story is a bit dif?
There's a couple dialogue lines changed if you're a Samurai, Ninja, Red Mage, or any Healer afaik, but the story itself is unchanged
It's just dialogue differences
gotcha
As one of the major HW characters is a player in the Dragoon quests, he will acknowledge your status as a Dragoon
@hollow barn try launching it without dx11 or something
What happens if i join the carpenter guild
you become a carpenter
You get handed a saw.
and that
Does it take me out of the pole arm
Nope
it's an additional class
So i will still be a lancer?
you have all your classes
You can do all classes and jobs on the same character!
Thats awesome
What do the quests with blue and a plus mean
Those are my class quests right
Oh how do i see my class quests
the small thing below your msq bar
@remote lintel Tried launching the game with DirectX 9 and it froze on a black screen. I ran dxdiag.exe and there are no problems as well.
#technology-discussion prob has answers
what does the chest number mean on the eureka chain?
Increased chance of earning crystals
and when I reach chain 30, I get a bigger boost of xp?
is there still not a new step in the Shadowbringers relic this patch?
5.35 will add the next step
Thanks
is there a way to find out the GATE schedule in advance?
Its always every 20mins and it picks 1 of 3 gates randomly
are there websites that hook up to server and displays the currently active GATE?
Aww do i not get bonus quests when i get Sworn with Beast Tribes?
no
they run in a set pattern iirc, the GATEs
rip i wanted more xp >.>
How do i get to the lavender beds
the boat in gridania
For the leatherworker class, is there a way to synthesize more than one of the same material? It's kinda tedious opening the crafting log each time for one synthesis.
quick synthesis
It says the boat is out of service
might have to do the unlock
How do you quick synthesis. I'm currently level 5 for it.
I think it’s in central shroud
At least I don't see the button for it.
quick synth is usually unlocked when you finish a craft of that item at least once
if unlocked, the button is left of the begin synth button
you’ll have to be lv10 or higher
what do they mean by box strat? I'm assuming HW-strat is the dps die thing?
Level 10 for that specific class?
yeah Luc
box strat is with regards to M/F part of the fight, for the numbers + dashes
for box strat you just have the two lanes for dashes and people swap places after their dash completes. For the other strat you just have everyone line up along the wall on either side (and sometimes if you get unlucky or are too far down the bosses can snapshot and kill someone)
has anyone here levelled gold smith?
(or done the quest "Actually, It's Loyalty " )
yeah, what's up?
some guides online recomend leveling up goldcraft using "courier missions" leve-quests
but im not sure what are those
courier leves are basically you pick up the leve in one place and go turn it in at a different location
they give a great amount of exp, but some take a bit of time to reach the destination so it’s up to you if you wanna do em
Question on Crafter/Gather BST in SHB, Will i need a full set of 70 gear for them? or will i be able to squeeze through with lv 60 gear?
from an material efficiency standpoint they're a bit higher up, triple turn-in leves are good for level efficiency. If you can get to HW (if you aren't already), ishgardian restoration is the big thing for crafter leveling nowadays though
a full 70 should get any crafter to 80, especially if its HQ
the recipes aren’t demanding either
Ya but do i need a full 70? I wanna start them, but i cant afford 70s yet heh
is this quest one of them ""Actually, It's Loyalty "" ? and do I have to craft the Aquamarine Bracelet?
just gotta know how the system works
that's an example of a courier leve yeah. You either craft or purchase the item to turn in. You get double exp if it's HQ though, and of course manually crafting it means you also get exp from crafting it
You might be able to do a good portion of the BST recipes with food I think, as long as the 60 set you got is HQ
maybe, in any case there’s test recipes now for any item so it doesn’t hurt to try
3.3
it's actually crazy how good it is for leveling
mmm I see, im still lv 35 whm/Story/Goldsmith so leve will have to be my thing for now :\
I see, thanks everyone
i have just gotten ffxiv, my friends are all in leviathan(congested) ik there is a world visit but he and i are unsure if i should wait for congestion to end or not because he said he doesnt think he can help with items/crafting etc. so does anyone know if he will be able to trade items or just items hes received during the world visit
yes you can
okay thank you
isnt it a $30 fee tho
Noo
18
18 usd
$30 would be too much
oh dang lmfao okay
and world visit allows him to actually play side by side not just in party right? hes worried it's just for raids/dung
Yep
you can party up while world visiting
You can basically do everything with world visit
Yeah u can do everything in world visit except access retainers, buy house, apartment and join FCs
You'll just have the Wanderer tag over your head
To indicate you're not from Leviathan
awesome thank you 😄
C:
I have done Ravana extreme and turned it in but Unukalhai does not have a quest for another extreme. Does anybody know what the problem could be? He said Bismark next but nothing

it's from the book silly
Book?
Aren't the HW raids done in order
Alex is, yeah
nah
ohhhh ex trials, iirc you get a quest for both rav and bis when talking to unukalhai
They gave me Ravana first and when I turned in Ravana he did not give me Bismark even though he said that Bismark was next
there's a book on the desk in the waking sands that iirc is the actual quest giver for ravana/bmark
no
No??
am i misremembering?
do you already have it? 
I read the book and it only talks about the primals. No extremes
check your journal and duty finder
"The Diabolical Bismark"
No extremes in duty finder or journal either
After Gods of Eld he gives 3 quests at the same time. One for Ravana, one for Bismark, and one that starts the Containment Bay line of quests
screenshot your journal
check your key items for a blue crystal thing called the Weeping Eye of the Manukmanai
Yea
you have it
I TOLD you that I am not receiving the quest for Bismark Extrme
Like ARR
You
seriously, just LOOK at things sometimes Moltres. With your eyes.
mate you have it in your journal
just check the box and make it pop on your HUD
Please do pay attention
Do this
Its right there in your journal and tracker
The EX isn't gonna unlock until you finish its requirements
So its not gonna be in your duty finder yet
How many adds do I stop using Barrage Refulgent at
Do I need to have a hunt bill for hunt enemies to count towards the hunt achievements or can I just kill them when I happen to come across one?
yeah Vanessa
and as you progress into later expansions, you’ve gotta do the unlocks for their hunt boards
the exceptions to that are A and S ranks, you’ll get seals and currencies without that progress
Bard's Soul Voice gauge is basically just a CD for Apex Arrow right?
ye
You use Apex when it's filled
Unless you need Apex immediately or something you should fill it right?
yeah generally want to use at 100
My game glitched. I selected the Cid quest but it showed the location of a beast tribe quest so I was stuck doing that. Why did it show location for a different quest than I selected?
kk and although Apex is an AOE, you still use it for Single Target right?
yep
Yes
Cool
you probably clicked on the wrong thing
your five quests on the HUD show map visibility, if the quest isn’t one of those, it’s not visible
Or looking at the wrong area. You can hover over the destinations on the map to see which ones its actually leading you towards
it’s a failsafe they put in so you don’t see the map icons of like thirty sidequests
it also tells you the name of the quest if you hover over the quest marker on your map
I keep wasting money from teleport because the icon for where Cid is keeps changing! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
I would set the other quests to the 🚫 icon
(x:6.4, y:25.8)
Ishgard Restore is relatively the cheapest way to level crafters right?
it’s gonna shut their visibility off
Pay attention and make sure you're looking at the right quest
kk
Does it matter which Grand Company I choose for the Archer?
the flames one looks cool xD outfit wise
yeah GC selection is just
-Do you like their outfits
-Do you mind travel time to the GC office
cuz mael takes a hot minute to get to
2nd one can be aleviated by getting teleport tickets tho
not really if you're already spending a bunch of time at limsa
tru
Twin Adders is like half a sprint away from the aetherite
But yeah, relatively both New Gridania and Uldah have the GC right beside the big tower
What is the drop rate of the bird mounts for HW extremes? I got a bird mount on a Ravana clear
But at least it's really easy to go from Mael's GC to Market board
you also have to roll for it
My sophia bird farm took 56 runs for all 8 people in my party to get
the twin adder final outfit looks nice too hmm
I like the Mael outfit
you can change gc after you get a high rank
But yeah, it costs some but you can change
But doesn't that mean you start from thr beginning of the ranks
you gotta re-level yeah
can you mix and match other gc outfits
Yeah that's the thing that sucks about gcs
no
Mael looks something like this
yes
you can only wear it if it’s your GC
ooo hmm >:
That would be rude if you were a flame lieutenant and you were wearing a serpent attire lol
not literally but in game to npcs lol
I meant the same GC outfits but different rank ones 😮
yes
oh yeah you can do that
Oh that yes
The twin adder one has like big skirts lmao xD
I get 34,975 EXP for discovering a new area in HW. Can this be used to power level a level 1 crafter since I never done anything with crafters?
No
Ishgard Restoration is the best for leveling crafters by FAR
and combat jerbs only, same for sightseeing log
Yeah and discover EXP scales with your level I think
leves are still extremem good for levle
its just restoration lets you be a lot more lazy
Last question. Is it worth making your own equipment? 😮
it can be yeah
not really
for leveling, not really
most stuff nowadays is cheap enough to buy outright while levelling
How do i start doing leatherwork i got in the guild but how fo i ctually craft
or ask a friend or FC mate for help
@silent gorge open your crafting log, select a recipe, use the skills on your hotbar to craft
read your tooltips
so rn you’ll just want to get your gear from a vendor or the marketboard
I am unable to attune to the aetherite! Despite being right up against it, it says "too far away"! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
Is end game gear craftable then o-o
When leveling alt jobs, is it best to run all duty roulettes once a day or are there ones worth skipping?
If not I'll just avoid the classes.
Some are
the i480 stuff is Luc
yes but it's not the best gear in the game
and thats pretty dang close to best gear
Current max level gear is ilv 500, max crafted gear is ilv 490
crafted gear is generally catch up for the most part
Yeah cost a bit Allegory to upgrade
ok ok.
neo-ish lets you basically skip the grind of having to gear up
just get gear from msq and dungeons
Okay i see whats the best way to get these materials
no worries lol, it definitely gets iverwhelming
@silent gorge other crafters or gatherers
your guild shop should have tons of starter materials for sale
at least for the first few levels
Guild shop? Is that the grand company one.
Or like the guild you make with friends.
talking to bungee
nah each crafting guild has a shop npc
that's the way to do it
the mats there should take anyone to at least 15-20 if they do first time completions and stuff
Is there a way i can gather them myself
culinarians the exception cuz their recipes are evil
get a gatherer
Whats a gatherer
Is there a way to find parties for early-game stuff without the party finder? I find solo levelling as CNJ and THM really tedious and I kinda would like a group.
exactly what it sounds like
much like crafters Bungee, there’s gatherer classes
its a class yes
Ohhh okay
yep!
miner, botanist, fisher are gatherers
Got it
you level em and gear them up just like a combat job
also you should be leveling all crafters together
That's what I'm doing rn. I got bored tho. I got carpentry, leatherworker, and botanist to 10.
Now I'm doing the main quest/archer class quests.
Along with doing all the side quests bc i like doing them xD
some of the storylines are really nice, like Alchemists 1-50
It's interesting. They give so much exp so I'm like double the level of the main story quest levels xD
you're going to be over leveled at the beginning
What is this item used for?
consolation prize. use it to buy ravana ex things at idyllshire
You use that to buy the weapons that ravana drops
so totems are a currency added in heavensward and beyond
cumulatively, ofc
ten gets you a weapon of choice, 99 a mount
Or spend 99 of them to get the mount
each trial has a unique totem
(99 for a mount is not available on day 1 of the trial, it usually takes a couple patches after)
Its the pity drop thats given every run
Hey folks, im new to he game and this discord channel, how do i find german fc?
recruitment channel
Okay thx. Do i just give my ingame name or my square id to them?
ingame name and server
Either way, make sure you're n the same server as the FC you mean to join
you can't join fcs on another world
im in heavnsward content and just dropped 500K on an appartment how do i make money quick
msq
So world dont mean data center..so zodiark or phoenix etc
a data center is a group of worlds
Okay thx. Normally i dont ask these dumb questions but ff14 is a little bit overwhelming haha
IS there any reason to do beast tribe quest?
If you want the mounts/items they sell
Plus free experience if you need it
I heard ShB beast tribe is different from previous expansion. Any major difference I should know?
Some glamour
There's only 1 combat, gathering and crafting opposed to 2 combat and 1 crafting (and gathering for namazu)
Pixie is combat, qitiri are gathering and dwarves are crafting
thank you
Is there a list of MGP Rewards somewhere?

@shell echo the gold saucer
Does anyone know if luminous crystal drop rates go down after your first anima weapon? The first time around they dropped after 1-2 fates. I haven't had any after 10 the second time around.
Or you can look at the NPCs on gamerescape
They dont karate
no, its just rng
Thats just rng
Good to know. Thanks!
Is there a shortcut for linkshells like /p?
How do you clear the screen I'm tryna take a pic of myself without everything in the way
can use scroll lock to remove the ui or do /gpose to go into the game's picture mode
Thx
is it possible to get faster the weapon atma-bravura?
My wife wants to know if another gatherer can gather bait for fisher
@gusty storm Craft it, buy it off market board, get it to 15 and do the training quests for it?
Buy vendor gear
Vendors sell gear at major city/states
Don't craft your own gear until 80
If I can craft Bronze Ingot, on quick synthesis..... does the craft-job with higher level have more chance to get HQ on QuickSynthesis?
Yeah, if your stats go up you have a better chance of getting HQ in QuickSynthesis, but its still fairly low
i see, better than micromanaging crafting 99 ingots one by one ^^;
best SAM food?
I guess that means no other gatherer can obtain bait for fisher? My wife is going to have to always buy bait?
when does raid reward reset?
Bait is primarily brought
also what does it mean when an enemy has a blue thing besides their name
@calm phoenix you can craft it but not really gathered
Raids reset on weekly reset on Tuesday
depends on what type of sam you're going for, but basically between sausage &sauerkraut or stuffed highland cabbage @amber ingot
by the time u said "what type of sam" , i realised that i gotta check balance 😐
Hey so I need help with how I get the white mage soul stone
Do your job quests
I’m level 30 already as a conjurer and I can’t do anymore class quests so I am confusion
If you need pass slyph management for the white mage quest to show up
slow sam basically is going to use cabbage, fast/easy sam uses s&s
@dawn shell What level is your MSQ?
Main story quest right?
yeah
OHH it says level 19
Around lv20 story
Whoops
Ah so your really close 😉
I’m doing Amalj’aa wrong places
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/f7ae24669db/ is there another place to get these?
Vesper Bay Aetheryte Ticket
Where can my wife find Nym River? She is at the spot on the map where it says Nym River but when she casts, it says "Summerfold"
will getting my main from lvl 50 to 80 make a whole lot of a difference when leveling an alt?
your alt will get bonus xp to 80 instead of 50
only?
Well depends if you just wanna get the alt to 50 or not
Nobody knows where this place is? She needs a fish from there for the job quest and she is not getting it where the map says Nym river but the game says Summerfold
then id say just stay at 50, no point pushing to 80 just to get another to 50
@calm phoenix Can probly youtube the job quest name and it should show where to go. Ive done that for a few quests
oh ok tysm
is there a recommended order in which to upgrade neo 480 gear to 490?
@calm phoenix this is nym river fishing hole
@simple pine Probly check balance for which ones are bis at a given tier and do those first?
can anyone help me
my ffxiv has no sound coming though my head phone
but then i swap it to speakers it works?
i redownloaded the game and eveything
and my headset is set to default and has not ever been changed
is there a new eureka coming in an upcoiming patch?
is that going to be useful for leveling?
probably yes for 70-80 cause there wasn't a shb deep dungeon
@simple pine Probly check balance for which ones are bis at a given tier and do those first?
@granite swan I dont think 490 is bis anymore for anything
ah.. its a hoh/potd alike?
well it was bis for tier 1 :p atleast 2-3 pieces of jewelry
No its probly gonna be more like Eureka but without alternate leveling
Since people have been saying it should be a good 70-80 zone

is there a recommended order in which to upgrade neo 480 gear to 490?
@simple pine if you need the ilevels to get into pf groups, go with the cheaper pieces first (accs and whatnot), otherwise the big pieces are gonna give the most stats
leves/gc turn ins are pretty good
so the more rain it costs the better? statwise?
Yes the more rain it costs the stat increase is better
but also the stat increase per rain ratio is better?
But if you can only afford the cheaper pieces, it increases your ilv faster
No idea, probably no
so then the cheap stuff is not only better ilvl wise, but also rain wise? 😮
rain/stat increase wise*
Weapons increase your damage the most
Then chest/legs > head/hands/feet > accessories and belt
But yeah, I personally choose to exchange the cheaper stuff first
Since you often need a high enough ilv to enter PF groups or other stuff
And one 480 piece gives exactly enough of those envelopes to get that same piece at 490 right?
Yes
Does anyone know how to get the dwarven gear i really like it and would love to use it on my lala but have 0 clue where to start
Do I need SkS for Bard?
What’s the blue dots on the bottom right mean
How is rest XP amount calculated? Mine has been going into the next level (green) for quite some time now across several levels (since I was 50-something and still green at 65) yet my wife's level progress was 50% and her rest XP was 25% after that. She is lower level
Thats the inventory grid
Do I need SkS for Bard?
@ripe hound no
So don't meld SkS if I'm not using BiS gear and have no idea what I'm doing right?
Also I meld Crit > DH > Det right?
Rested XP is gained by afking/logging off in a sanctuary...you can only get 25% rested xp per day and it caps at 1.5 of a level and shared between all jobs
yep, that's the meld priority
Rested xp is consumed on monster kills
kk
it's all answered in the brd channel on the balance
So I may have been capped for a while now because I always log out in a sanctuary
It would be highly likely you would stay close to cap if you didn't use it all up in one day
Take note that rested exp burns faster on lower level job
if i want to turn in gear for GC seals, do i have to do it at the respective main hub city of the GC or can it be done at any GC?
At your company
Your GC
Other GC don't interact with you
My wife is level 27 and her highest crafter is 20 I believe
How can i tell when I’m ankle to do the yokai quest
when it appears in uldah
Im level 15 but idk if ive done the main quests yet
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/f7ae24669db/ is there another place to get these?
How does "less than 5 minutes" turn into "20 minute" wait time?
Was this dungeon queuing fast and I just so happened to queue when everybody stopped queuing for it?
I dunno, which dungeon?
Neverreap
Remind me, Is it part of the
?
It is 
Yeah... Unfortunately for optional dungeons, you have a relatively lower amount of player to match make with, so the queue time can varied
And I run all optionals so
Nice
Expected wait time is calculated off the time other players have waited before theirs popped
It is just an estimate
So I understand that all neo-ishgard pieces of the same type can be traded in for the same amount of eulmoran certs - does this apply to weapons as well (excluding PLD weap/shield)?
Yep
Thanks.
Question regarding "Big Fish"
What exactly counts as a "Big Fish"
The only noticed some fish having a "Green" background with their icon, may somebody enlighten me on this?
Why can't my mount fly anymore in heavensward?
Do I need a specific "flying mount" or is it quest locked?
You need to unlock Aether Currents in each zone to fly in that zone from HW and beyond
should get a quest pretty early into HW that explains it
https://clips.twitch.tv/LivelyPrettyWasabiDatBoi
Um... can some explain why I (the summoner) was getting auto'd here when the other tank had aggro?
top 2 enmity get auto attacks
oh, throughout the entire fight?
just after adds
After the transition
yeah the dragon spits on the #2 aggro
Concerted works happen 30m after donations hit max right?
is MSG roulette worth doing?
yep it's good xp
but put on youtube or something in the background or else your brain cells will die

which ones are the rare minion drops from the level 80 raids again?
is there a point to doing crafter quests? i havent gotten a skill 1-50
do i get something in the 60-80 crafter quests?
Lv 63/65 are 2 skills you will probly need/want later
i wanna assign some skills on my mouse , (razer deathadder elite) , which keys on keyboard we dont use at all?
Probly numpad keys?
i mean you can just go into setting and adjust your keyboard to remove buttons you dont normally use
also get some crystals, materia, and the exp is pretty respectable from them too
what exactly does skill speed help with?
lowers your GCD, mainly. Also increases damage from auto attacks and a small DoT scaling multiplier
can suzaku ex be solo tanked unsync?
so higher skill speed lowers the recast timer?
that's correct
@analog gate should be able to. You'll likely want to use invuln for the first tankbuster and ideally kill quick enough before you have to worry about another one. Maybe you can mitigate through it hard enough without invuln (or die and get rezzed) but yeah
im trying to duel my friend but i keep getting this message Unable to challenge to duel. You must be a Disciple of War or Magic (limited jobs excluded). im an Arcanist btw
does anyone know what to do
You're not a job
Are these the limit breaks for each class?
yes
Holy shit that is badass
You must be a job, aka Summoner or Scholar
ohhh okay thank you!!!
Usually when I do LB on Drk it just does the regular gladiator one with the walls
how do i change that ?
ya, that video is showing off the 3rd limit break
And story past Slyph management
1/2 are the same for all jobs within a role
Equip the soul stone given
ohhh
Ok
thank youu
Is it better to tank phlegethon in the middle of the room or towards the B pad?
Hey guys I'm brand new to the game and I have this weird overlay over my quest area. It's blocking the text and I would really like to disable it. I took a picture but I don't know if it's appropriate to post it here If anyone could tell me how to disable I would appreciate it. On ps4.
It's become more acceptable for tanks to keep Phlegethon off center so it's easier to tell when he's about to use Ancient Flare.
And as for that icon, it sounds like that would be your job gauge.
Perhaps but I'm unsure. When I talk to characters highlighted in green it disappears.
Does anyone have the render for the LB3 DRK shown in the trailer?
Turning off the job gauge is not recommended but you can change its size and move it around as needed in the HUD Layout screen.
Thank you
Do I use deployment tactics before or after adloquim on target?
Can anybody help me, I should be getting the Eye of the dragon mission with Ywain but he doesnt have it showing
I already did the last level 30 mission for lancer
Deployment is used after Adlo. Using it before does nothing.
what's your current main scenario quest @crude meadow
@gloomy ice my target needs to have galvanize right?
@gloomy ice - thank you I can at least change my duty list to be a little bit lower so it doesn't interfere. Appreciate the tip
Yeah otherwise it doesn't work.
you can move your gauge
Okay I just found it it's the elemental gauge
It's weird how by default it overlays the duty list text so you cannot even read it
You should be able to do it.
hm
Have you been doing all your job quests?
Proof of Might is the last lancer quest you did, right?
are you certain you didn't pick it up alreadyu
if i'm trying to level dancer, should i do leveling dungeons? or duty roulettes? or focus on dancer quests specifically, to try to gain exp and abilities?
Do you need 4 lockouts to get 1 piece of gear in e5s+?
leveling roulette is usually the best choice
Roulettes once a day then highest level dungeon
Alliance roulette is a better choice for DPS because fast queue
Do your job quests when you can as you'll need them to get Techincal step at 70
I'm not sure if LV 50 Dancer functions though
@simple pine Weeklies are no more for eden's verse savage
Never spam roulettes
I mean it should function
They were removed when 5.3 released.
But yeah, roulettes are once a day
give me a sec and ill show u
After that if you still want to grind you can only queue the dungeon with level closest to you
don't queue for level 50/60/70 dungeons though
Exception being if you are at 50, 60, 70, you should do the 49, 59, 69 dungeons
i am currently just at sixty.
Wait 50/60/70 roulette aren't that bad right?
Not really.
It is
Poetics are a thing.
Ah
Its primarily for tomes
Is it even worse than just queuing for dungeons?
But yeah, do Alliances, then Leveling roulette
Once a.day
Once a day
Alliance roulette is good exp yes
In roulettes
Levelling and alliance roulette at least once a day
Trial is quick enough to be mostly worth
MSQ if you wanna boot up netflix
normal raids is also generally quick ish
this is what I have
then you need to equip the dragoon soul stone
Equip the soulstone
equip the Dragoon soulstone.
You have
okay, thank you. apologies for the confusion.
It's in your armoury @crude meadow
In your character window, it's the bottom most slot on the right.
oh so thats where it was
okay I got really confused once I didnt see the item in my normal inventory
thanks a lot, I was being a speedreading dummy xD
Is "An Unexpected Proposal" The start of the relic weapon with dragon wings quest ?
That is the beginning of the Anima relic quests from HW, yeah.
@calm phoenix Heres a walkthrough for it if you want.
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Anima_Weapons/Quest#Soul_Without_Life
How doni get to the golden saucer
how come bard and machinist feel so different from dancer
dancer like goes wooo and flows but machinist and bard feel so sticky
weird
im machinist right now and considering bard v dancer....you are saying bard is similar to machinist?
So how do you get these zodiac weapons that the quest asks for?
that would be the a realm reborn relic weapon @calm phoenix
you can do the fate farm instead to make up for it
Is there like an updated materia guide? I am trying to find the best materia to put on tank classes
@silent gorge
im machinist right now and considering bard v dancer....you are saying bard is similar to machinist?
bard and dancer are more similar than machinist and bard are. bard and dancer are proc based priority jobs, while machinist has a general rotation with some big hitters that come off cooldown consistently
Is there like an updated materia guide? I am trying to find the best materia to put on tank classes
@foggy flame check your job resource channel on the balance
on the 60-70 Crafting Quests, do they provide the materials or do i have to buy/find them somewhere?
So basically i have to walk there
you have to start that quest
https://discordapp.com/channels/277897135515762698/580462372792041502/729448543575605319
@foggy flame from the tank resources channel in the balance
@silent gorge
there's an airship that can take you there from uldah
on the 60-70 Crafting Quests, do they provide the materials or do i have to buy/find them somewhere?
@granite swan you're provided iwth the materials when you reach that point in the quest
@granite swan SB crafting class quests provide materials for you.

hey guys noob here, can you do dungeon quests without players? like npcs or so it’s scaled for solo
ah okay thanks, i couldnt for the life of me find it anywhere lol
@oak goblet not really.
hey guys noob here, can you do dungeon quests without players? like npcs or so it’s scaled for solo
@oak goblet trusts are a thing for shadowbringers, but you can't solo dungeons unless you're overleveled/geared sufficiently. even then you lose the EXP
shame. i’ve been trying to do a dungeon for like an hour and no one will join
u could run dungeons with adventurer squad npcs
@oak goblet get adventurer squad so u can do dungeons with tanky npcs
thats not a quick solution either
fire in the gooom
not something they can unlock before that quest
fire in the gloom is tam-tara right>?
the tam tara depsoite
aether
its in the roulettes
and its prime time
you should be getting it
make sure you language settings are right
if you're a DPS it'll also take a bit longer
no, you cna queue for it directly
it being part of a roulette means that other players will be able to be matched with you
@little swift that link didn't work at all. Where do I go for that channel?
!faq balance
ohhh. i’ve been queued for 6 and no one joined yet
@foggy flame
6 minutes? thats not that bad if you're a DPS
15-20 minutes is more common
be patient 
basically a normie who likes ff
Pretty much
understood guys sorry for the confusion
thanks for the help and have a good day y’all
If you do Dwarf quests every day, how many days would it take to get the mount?
@little swift So I am sorry. I was looking around in the resources and I am confused by it all. I'm not good with the whole materia stuff to begin with and trying to get an overall what I should be using for materia on my gear since they all use the same gear.
you are aiming for a set that would be applicable to all tanks right?
yes
so based on which tank you want to play more of, the melds and items change a bit more
but in general there's a gunbreaker focused meldset and a warrior focused meldset
I cant find my yokai watch:/
Provided you don't miss a day and get every bonus when they appear, all beast tribes take about two weeks to complete. @granite swan
so, looking at the sets from the balance, you'd want a more gunbreaker focused set
i already linked that to them
Where do i go for the yokai fates?
!faq yokai
@gloomy ice Okay, thanks
So you say a Gunbreaker focused one, but what does that mean?
like looking at the resources. It says this "3 DH melds + weapon," but I don't know what that even means
so clicking the link opens up the page with all the items
right
if you click the little gemlike things
on the highlighted green item
that would be your best in slot with the suggested melds to put into that specific item
for example
I'm sorry. Where is the gem thing? I click on the item I have. Augmented Neo-Ishgardian Manatrigger and there is no materia suggested
because that isn't the best in slot item
if you want to meld things that aren't the best available option for your job
you can follow a priority system instead
skilled speed to the preferred GCD > crit > direct hit > determination > tenacity
for gnb, you want to meld for the gcd of 2.42/2.40
those are the ones taht help you align your damage cooldwons to no mercy the most comfortably, but you can experiment and see what you like more
What is the shortest overall level 61+ dungeon?
Where do you see the 2.42/2.40 in the stats?
you see it when you mouseover a weaponskill
you check your actual skillspeed value in character profile
Is 2.38 considered good then?
it's a problem if you want to go into savage/ex level stuff
Really?
So with no materia it's at 2.39
because if your skill speed is too high, it may cause your skills to be out of sync
I'd like to see your current gearing.
If anything, the main focus of GNB is Direct Hit
Followed by Crit.
This is just Gunbreaker though. I use it and DK mostly for just tank
It's the same for DRK & PLD
every job in the game focuses on crit
while WAR's melding is completely different.
2.38 is fine on war
the difference between standard tank melds and warrior ones is that warrior doesn't need any dhit
at all
Well I will be not using Warrior much once I get it to 80 so it's fine
also warrior can play at a much faster gcd
So here is my stats as a Gunbreaker with no materia
first things first, did you get your free ilvl 485 GNB weapon yet?
second, is this all standard neo-ishgardian?
yes, but this is all 490 Augmented gear
work into getting 500 augmented crystarium.
Getting there. Currently working on my Sammy gear for that.
About half done there Since I can only do one piece a week.
Is there a vendor for lv 61+ collectable ingredients? still cant figure out a good way to get em with gathering heh
@foggy flame i would look up a BiS guide first
not all 500 a.crystarium is BiS
unless you have 0 plans to do savage
bis also matters less this tier anyways
yeah but getting a full set of a.crystarium is months worth of allegory
numerous months
^
no reason to meld either then if you're not doing savage
I just finished my set of crysterium for my sammy
I will be doing savage Eden stuff sometime soon.
Working on getting all classes to 80 first though
Very close
Lv 70 Crafting Gear Question: Is the Handking set better then the other lv 70 scrip set?
nah if you liek teh glam 
True i guess, i gotten to liking the ironworks heh
if i eat food for control craftmanship and cp, do they stack?
No
One food overwrites previous food
Food does stack with craftsman’s syrup/tea though
what is that tea
Potions in the level 70s and 80s
ah lol
!item cunning craftsmans syrup
aye, its something ill worry about later on higher lv anyway

they ran out of tea XD
this thing
is cp or control usually more...useful xD?
CP is king
You cant make use of your stats without cp
You only need the minimum amount of control/Craftsmanship the receipe asks for to make the receipe
Provided you have a good rotation and the CP to support it
even for making hq CP >all?
Again, cant make use of your stats without CP
alright
You need the CP to use your good skills

I've been trying to get this for like a couple hours. Did they change how to get this
Aetherial gear has been removed iirc
They removed Aetherical gear except accessories
Awww, is there one that looks like this?
Hard Leather Ringbands can be bought at most low level gear vendors. Check armor sellers in your starting city. Should be under magic gear.
can you unlock rathalos quest to this day?
Yes, it wasn't a limited time thing
Rathalos trial is still present, yes. Unlocks after completing the level 70 story trial in Stormblood.

Man, Manipulation while crafting is opaf
i regret not doing the quests before now lol
Wait rathalos trial? Where?!
where do i unlock blue?
Blue Mage? Limsa by the Aethryte
oh
Blue Mage is unlocked in Limsa after finishing the level 50 quest the Ultimate Weapon.
omg
imagine spending you whole time on ffxiv at limsa plaza and never seeing that quest
Rathalos trial is unlocked in Kugane outside the Bokairo Inn after completing the base Stormblood MSQ
Has normal mode and extreme
Palico minion, poogie minion, Rathalos mount, cookfire furnishing, orchestrion rolls, and a glamour set loosely inspired by MH
will VIII stay highest materia in 5.4?
Yes. Materia grades don't change until expansions.
who's the wandering minstrel that appears in some seasonal events?
Author avatar for producer and director Naoki Yoshida
how do you attach materia anyway?
People say the MSQ gives lots of feels across its entire run, and people say Shiva is part of this.
With materia meld npcs if you dont level crafters
I just killed shiva for the first time, why is she considered a sad fight?
after we kill her?
||Well she's not dead, just the primal version been subdued||
not gunna click that cause i don't wanna get spoiled, but i'll assume i should just strap in for now, lol
thanks
You'll be seeing more of her, at least more of the character who summoned her
Shiva isn’t a traditional primal in terms of the ones you’ve seen so far
how do i buy stuff from kobold vendor?
Unlock the kobold beast tribe at Maelstrom base and do their daily missions
It just occured to me that I should ask here
With one of the recent patches, I thought they made it to where you could have a different load up screen permanetly? I have to where if I select the ARR movie, afterwards it'll switch to that title screen and theme, but if I log out and log back in, it'll be right back to the ShB title screen. Is there no way to change it permanetly?
Nope
is daily leveling roulette not worth doing?
It’s extremely worth doing
hey how many sacks of nuts (lol) does one typically get for a hunt?
looking to grind for the lion
3200 nuts
Every roulette is worth doing, except arguably MSQ and Guildhest
MSQ is one of the most worth doing
Yeah but most people cba
just requires you to be ok with the time investment
I usually do MSQ and just stick on netflix
But I know a lot of people are averse to doing it
There's only so many times you can hear gaius give a speech on the elevator
@leaden ginkgo If you do the normal solo ones, all 3 mark pages, you get 110, as for the big boi ones, no idea 😦
@granite swan how long does a normal solo one take typically?
maybe an hour if you can fly in all the zones?
Hunts give allied seals and (?) nuts?
hmmm might be easier to go for second choice then the free griffin
https://i.imgur.com/7znAzGl.png What's the diff and also, where's the nuts?
Nuts are ShB Hunts
Aaah
Any advice for new tanks? I've been a healer for a long time but want to try out other jobs... Specifically, what's a good way of making big pulls for stuff like roulettes?
I'm only in SB
Tanking is easy, put stance on and spam AoE
Healing is way harder
I'm a tank main
As for big pulls, you'll get a feel for it the more you play
And obviously how competent your healer is
@granite swan can you buy nuts from the marketboard?
with gil?
doubt it
@leaden ginkgo They are an alternate currency so they just get shoved in your "Currency Wallet"
Centurio is HW and SB
Gotcha, thanks
@faint flare You're super helpful, like all the time, you get 1 token redeemable for a headpat
anyone here have the free griffin?
Collectors edition one@?
nah the new one
the hite one
Or is there actually a mount called 'Free Griffin'
white*
Oooo
is it worth using skybuilder's materials from phase 2?
Isn't that a SB beast tribe?
it fits my char's look well
Just do phase 3
