but it's now a temporary buff that you trigger rather than a stance that you always leave on
darkside is a dmg buff now that you refresh using one of two abilities
Ah, bad memory then. I thought if I just had grit on I got a little aura thing
"Last" quesiton. To farm "light" for my Sharpened Guillotine weapon. Can I do any dungeon content or does it have to be certain content?
I see guides on what ppl solo and what is "fastest" but I just wanna know if I can do any dungeon
how easy is bard? somewhat?
needs to either be lvl 50 dungeons or heavensward content for Anima light farming
I'm working my way through eureka and plan on doing BA. if I have full i500, do I even care about the eurekan armor?
@twilit arch level 50 dung or Heavens - got it
fastest is usually a9s farm, or if you can't find/don't want to find a group for it, do something like brayflox hm solo
@sweet crane - I'm doing the armor for the glowy armor
@twilit arch yeah, I saw Brayflox and haukkue
bard's pretty easy, though keeping track of dots and procs can be a bit overwhelming. all in all though its rotation isn't hard at all, since its mostly a priority based rotation
and if I don't care about the glamour, then it's whatever?
if you're doing BA, you do care about elemental armour
okay, thanks! just wanted to make sure I didn't waste my pyros crystals
cos the elemental bonus from the set isn't soemthing to sneeze at
I have a butt ton of questions now thay I'm returning, anyone wanna voice chat for a q and a? š
just ask them here
Is there a site where I can see artifact armor
MSQ so boring
why the fuck do I need to kill rats
I'm a fking adventurer
lmaoooooo
Everyone starts somewhere
I have so many questions I'd be typing forever
Mostly about items in my inventory I never finished quests for etc
Such as the relic, or like raid items, some current antique pieces idk what to do with?
If you hop into voice, I'll try to answer
Ok tyvm
You can discard most of them
I just done the puppet bunker and copied factory, why i can't greed/need the 490 ilvl equipment for my role?
both option grayed out
you can only get one piece of gear for bunker, per week
For items
copied factory is no longer limited
Use Garlandtools, a site
the latest alliance raid has a 1-gear per week lockout
Search item, and check what they are used for, then make a decision
hmmm it's weird
i don't remember rolling need/greed in one of the gear
that was my first time in puppet bunker
do both raid share cooldown?
did you greed anything else? even if it's not your job's gear as long as you get any gear you can't get more for the week
also yeah the timeout probably
CF gear is unlocked anyway
type-51 doesn't matter, only type-53
oh right, i got the one for my bard š¤¦āāļø
dammmmm
what a missed chance
not sure how i got the bard version
i don't remember since i was too focused on the mechanic
What I said
so i probably accidently greed/need these stuffs
If everyone else pass, and you didn't pick any option
By default, it goes into your inventory, afaik
When I change to recommended gear, it chooses a waist with less defense. Why?
Primary stats

If you have say, a healer, then the most important stat is Mind
I think I tunnel visioned since i got rolled into tank in alliance B
A armor with crap defense but 1 point in mind, will be recommended over a 0 mind armor with insane defense
It chooses a waist with DEF 47 str+6 instead of another with DEF 71 str+5
Strength is a primary stat
can give picture of both gear and your class?
maybe you mixed up with tank/melee dps
Happens a lot in ARR, cuz dow/m do a lot of sharing
It become less frequent the higher lvl you go in your story progression
Yes
Because it has more Strength
Is it worth? to have str+6 instead str+5 if that means having DEF 47 instead of DEF 71
Yes
your defense doesn't make that big of a difference
You're a DPS, defence doesn't matter that much
Even if I do solo quests? isn't the change in defense too much in those cases?
thanks for the help
No
Solo quests are designed so that anyone can clear it
So its designed around healer's low defence stat
You need to be hilariously undergeared to be able to fail those, aside from not understanding mechanics
is there a way to predict MP ticks?
or do I just have to wait for the server to tick?
how does it work?
Ticks happen every 3s
Well, I've been used to do quests even without armor and pants because I wanted to see skin all the time, so I guess you're roght.
but is there a way to make it faster than 3s?
no
so I guess I should get less spell speed
Everything ticks on 3s, dots and mp
Ummmm
if a dot has 1s remaining and I reapply the dot which brings it back to 30s duration.. does the tick happen immediately or I have to wait another 3 sec for the tick?
Just refer to balance for these sort of optimization
oh, dots too, interesting
Don't do the math yourself
^
Depends when the dot ticked last
The tick only ever happens every 3 seconds
Respectfully speaking, you'd probably get it wrong
assuming you're at 80 they have gear sets listed
That never changes
Is there anything to heal beside Hi-potions and Second Wind when I'm doing solo?
Everything ticks on the server tickrate
I'll check on balance, thanks
Use your companion chocobo
Summon your chocobo and spec it for healing
Dots tick every 3s but they can tick immediately or have their first tick a few seconds later
And give it some healer skill
Either at 30 > 27 etc or like 28 > 25 etc
Use your companion chocobo
@warped nest IĀæ, lvl 49, Can I do that now? Having chocobo to help me in battle.
Depends on when the dot was applied vs the overall server tick
You can do that since lvl 20-ish iirc
Companion chocobo is like a level 30 quest
is this some sort of snapshotting vs server ticks?
I though at lvl 20 I only could use him for waling faster lol
this is some crazy optimization question lol
Dots are snapshotted on application
I have stormblood on PS4, Can I buy Complete Edition instead of just Shadowbringers?
Just Shadowbringers since you already own the base game
You should buy just Shadowbringers
Yes but you'd be wasting money
Cheaper
Only shadowbringers is more expensive that complete collection
complete edition is $30 right now, shadowbringers is $40
Then yeah, Complete edition is fine
Yeah
And will it download all complete edition as anothernew game?
what's difference between fellowship and free company
Fellowships are essentially message boards
With no proper chat
Free companies are actual guilds with perks like buffs, houses and chat
The buffs from the FC are get automatically?
dam i never knew there's a break chance when retrieving materia for current gear š¤¦āāļø
Should I be focusing on crit or direct hit rate for SAM?
Is there another requirement to extract materia besides spiritrbond to be at 100%? I think I couldn't do it from a item my retainer was storing when I was deciding what to sell in marketboard.
must be in your own inventory
Has to be in your inventory and you're not busy doing something
thxs
When my retainer is selling something, does it still takes a slot in her inventory?
ok
You'll turn around to face the new forward and the portal will spin around
Thought it would seem more challenging
Its not really
You basically position the portal with your camera
Then you can greed it out
And walk at the last moment
I use the legacy movement mode of that changes anything
Thats how legacy does it
ah
If you're going to the outside, hang slightly around the centre so you're not accidently yeeted
ok
You have a second or so to adjust after
What are the pf strats
Usually a mix of Cross T or /||\ (aka normal)
And braindead ofc?
what does a soul of the crafter do
Betwixt world's
Puddles
Lets you become a spec on that crafter
They get bonus stats and exclusive recipes
Also a super strong skill
Betwixt worlds is either Cross t or /||\
are there certain specs better than others
Betwixt is...away with thee?
Cross T is just Charge 1 going to Lane 4 and Charge 4 going to lane 1
The first away with thee
ok
Why some weapons in my armoury chest say BINDING ?
If I've used it, I cant sell it ?
Yes, E7s is the easiest fight
You can sell it to vendors
Once you know portals, the fight just becomes boring
Not on marketboard tho
oh, ok, and why is that? Is there a purpose for that?
Just buy and sell for a higher price 4head
can you change the crafter specializations if you dont like a choice later on
What's the scale drop rates for the SB extremes
okay so i used one
how do i find these recipes and ability?
i'm not seeing anything new
Do we have an idea of when 5.4 patch will hit?
december
The ability is in your skills at the bottom, specialist receipes are at 80
A few current receipes are specialist only
Like the new crafted primal weapons
They dont have their own tab, there's just a tag saying "specialist required" on some
Is there a lot of downtime in 7? Looks like a pretty easy fight to get high uptime in
ic
nice
I can probably clear this in a day, provided I bring along like 1-2 people who've cleared
so if careful observation is a specialist trait, where do i find it in my actions?
Anywhere I can find images of artifact armor?
GNB is an interesting class. Trying it out right now
@keen fable It should be on the bottom of your action list if you unlocked it
Is there a shiny version of the Byakko weapons?
mouseover macros on ogcd's shouldnt be negative in any way right?
because you dont have to do a /wait
they still have the not queuing issues so you might not be able to double weave with them
but they'll work
i'm just thinking about doing one with play
unless that causes issues with ast later on?
nah play macros are something thats used for some controller play too
weaving may be something you'll have to really force hard without clipping
but its 100% doable

Remove the line break and it should work
ah thank you
Is there a limit to how many materia I can have?
Can someone tell me how to unlock the rouge quest line
I am a lvl 27 murduer but the quest for rouge is still red
Can someone tell me how to unlock the rouge quest line
@kind geyser have you done your marauder class quests
you need to do until the lv10 one before you can switch classes
Is there a limit to how many materia I can have?
@wheat plume in your inventory? no. in equipment? depends on what kind it is. tome gear/raid gear is maximum 2 melded. crafted gear can overmeld to 5
@wheat plume in your inventory? no. in equipment? depends on what kind it is. tome gear/raid gear is maximum 2 melded. crafted gear can overmeld to 5
@little swift Thanks
I am on a lvl 20 story line
your class quests
Can I autosort items in inventory?
@little swift what yoy mean lvl 10 what?
uh, you know the MSQ traccker
in the top left corner ot your screen
See where it says first impressions?
yes i know you're level 27
Close your character menu
do what ddrox is suggesting
And then right under that should be the name of another quest
If I had to blindly guess, it's either "Way of the Marauder" or "Axe in the Stone"
you must do them
Whichever it is, go do it and every quest that follows
until you can do no further quests from that NPC
These are your Class Quests. 2/3 of your skills are locked behind them. You're gonna wanna do them.
Is there any worth in keeping unique and untradable weapons that I don't use?
Upon completion of the quest "Wake of Destruction", you'll gain access to the armoury system
and with it, the Rogue class
@wheat plume Glamour or exchanging for Grand Company seals later on
almost everything you have can be easily reobtainable if you wanted it
so if you don't want it you don't have to keep it
@wheat plume Glamour or exchanging for Grand Company seals later on
@halcyon glen When can I sell for Grand Company seals ? I'm in lvl 49 and want to ged rid of extra stuff in my inventory.
Your Grand Company's personnel manager, provided you've ranked up your GC a bunch
if you're already there then you can speak to a GC person and submit stuff under supply/delivery missions
I haven't done anything yet with my GC
How do I rank there?
If you haven't, you can either discard the weapons and waste the seals or throw them on a retainer or in the glamour chest for later use
What is glamour chest?
Talk to the Personnel manager and request a promotion
I think seals will be useful in the future, right?
and what it gives you
IActually wait this is pre-50 weapons i lied don't throw things in the glam chest
yes seals are pretty useful
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Grand_Company_Ranks
@little swift thxs
What's the use of glamour chest and how do I unlock that?
!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.
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
Can I use Glamour to look as I look without any equipment ?
you'll want to glam the "Emperor's New [Whatever]" over your equipment for that
with the emperor's new <insert equipment name here>
do you have a list to every word I can put after "faq" here?
that's the invisible stuff
you can do !faq in #kupo-bot-spam
and it'll give you a menu
to flip through
do it here and 
haha, ok, thanks
Wow, 43 pages. Is there a place to see the complete list in one page? To avoid wasting time
hey how can i fix this? i already restarted pc https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/100463940835762176/761448088773984266/unknown.png
is there any way to block someone in game
yes @lone zephyr 
ye
how
blacklist
how do i use it
hmm when i click on them theres no blacklist option
so how do you deal with people that act like jerks when you're a tak?
What are they doing neetaku
is there like, a better way to get hq materials? for instnace im trying to make hq woolen yarn right now
cause i have a quest to deliver a ton of hq woolen items
you can still get them in duty finder though, no way to avoid that even with blacklist
just an fyi
is there like, a better way to get hq materials? for instnace im trying to make hq woolen yarn right now
@soft flicker you could start crafting them with more hq materials. or you can buy them from the market board
i just want to stop them from sending me tells
dang it all just seems so ridiculously expensive even at level 40...
I was runnng POTD and this dragoon or whatever kept running around f'ing everything up for everybody. i tell him to stop running in the center springing traps, he continues to do it. He also kept pulling tons of mobs and almost got everyone killed. then, when i got to the boss, he deicdes he wants to pull it and ruined everyones timing
hq materials might be a gatehring investment
like a woolen beret to turn in for this quest is 50k T_T
is it bad that in dungeons i use single target rotation instead of aoe as black mage?
on trash pull mobs
Kick them I guess
depends on your level
Depends on level and amount of mobs
i do f4 instead of f2
But generally yes it's bad to not aoe
!faq blmleveling i remember there's a point where you f4 over f2 because it just flat out does more damage
yeah from 60-67
its more worth to do f4 becasue you can cast more of them
before flare
Hi! Can you get Celestial Kimono Remnants from desynth?
does anyone have any tips as to what i should spend my money on in ffxiv before i reach the 300k gil cap? i'm trying to wring as much value from the game as i can before i start subbing
gears and boiled egg
Boiled egg, like any other food, gives a +3 percent exp gain, it is not a lot, but it adds up, no harm in stocking them up
i'm confused as to how to do the fashion report
oh wait.
i cant do it right now, can i?
Hi! Can you get Celestial Kimono Remnants from desynth?
@lavish vortex iirc no, but that might have changed
Evaluation is sometime later today, I believe
yeah kaiyoko hasn't updated it
@tired timber last thing I can think of is buying crafting material from beast tribes but you do need to level up your beast tribe reputation first
he manually updates it
ty for the tips @warped nest
trying to craft fleece into wool and get hq seems pretty much impossible o.o
you dont have enough steps
what are your stats like
At low level, you don't have enough stat or the required skills to consistently HQ
218 craft 172 control
It is pretty much a wild shot tbh
anyone cant log in?
The "shop selling price" is the current price in marketboard?
yeah this quest is just kinda crazy expensive then... to craft all of these things itll cost me like 100k+, and its level 40
No, shop selling price is the price NPC sells it for
how much cp do you have?
thxs
i'm fiddling with some rotations to see if i can make it happen for you
@soft flicker
give me your level and cp as well
Channy, why are you... Spoopy?
40 job quest

oh is my level 45 job quest that i need this for
Oh
Your gear just feels a tad too low, imo, for a crafter trying to do lvl 45 quest turn in
yeah your CP is really your crippling factor
As a SMN should I be using other summon other than IfritEgi?
@narrow vale your Garuda/emerald is good for AOE
garuda if the boss moves a lot and for aoe
Anyone from california having trouble logging in?
@soft flicker care to post what gears you have?
here's a set of leveling rotations and equipment
they all use a higher cp amount than you have
Or follow Channy guide
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/ maybe it's on your end. servers all look fine
oh my rings and stuff are pretty much non existent
It is fine to be a few points behind in stat while leveling, yours is a bit too far if I am honest
looking at the market stuff seems really really expensiv eto get
is that the only place to buy it?
Do you have access to Heavensward city?
yeah i do
You can buy some lvl 51 crafter gear from NPC there iirc
alrighty ill head over there
For future reference, you should strive to supply yourself with your own crafting gear if possible, and get HQ gear
In this case, NQ gear from NPC is good enough to get you unstuck
Yay
ill see if i can afford the left now
the extra bit of cp they get is from food
doing multiple classes worth of crafting job quests
should hit you with enough gear
becasue you get the same rewards at every level
you just choose different options to cover them all
that and because they make the materials for each other
it just seems like so much to level them all together at once haha
It is worth it
you'll save yourself money in the long run
You can try to keep them around 3-5 levels apart
Saves you gear spaces, and they get to make materials/gears for each other
@narrow vale Garuda for 3+ targets, ifirit for 1-2 targets, titan for burst aoe optimisation and survival if needed
is NA down again?
can't seem to login to the NA data centers
giving me 2002 error, but other data centers are alright
When you blacklist someone can they tell you blacklisted them or does it just looks like i never replied?
they won't know
Thanks
is NA down again?
@rare comet Im having the same problem just now, is there a problem? getting error 2002 and now 90002
same
this definitely helped a good bit
it's weird because I have two friends logged into NA data center
but me and another can't
just what
that's odd
i'm logged in as well
the server status page says they're all online. i wonder what the issue is
yeah
As someone who lives in north america, which data centers would be best for me?
depending on where you live
California
is it aether = west coast, primal = mid-west, crystal = east?
Oh, well that helps
JP DC is... Well... In JP
all i know is that people consider crystal to be too casual or something
I'm thinking of gilgamesh but idk the culture on there
do australians tend to play on NA or JP servers
I heard there's one in NA that some of them play on but idk
I think they're somewhat split but leaning more on JP
Tonberry and Kuja are kinda the unofficial English servers on JP
Anyone know if gilgamesh is a good center to join? Idk about the differences between each one
Server choice doesn't really matter
Oh ok
Only data centre really matters since thats the pool of players/worlds you pull from
Game is still down š
nothing we can do about that 
DDoS maybe š
- fc
Where are the other two quests that unlock lvl 80 roulette? I already did Twinning
EU datacentres are in Frankfurt btw.
right click sort khell
@little swift EXCELLENT, thanks you
akaedemia anyder
@little swift whereās that?
Ohh. Thatās the name. Derp.
is there any way to get black dyes as free trial?
Is there a way to tell which direction Sophia is going to tip the arena?
soot black is also available by ranking up the ixal beast tribe a tad
err where?
North Shroud
is the damage from ifrit/garuda fusion aoe magic type?
its a crafting beast tribe
yes it is
there is a nearly black dye at the dyemongers
wha?
@slate crow look at the meteor-things falling onto the scales on either side. In normal mode it's just whatever side has more weights falling onto it. In Extreme there are both small and large weights, and you have to solve for which is heavier.
(though there's a quick way to identify it which I forget details of)
@lone zephyr Charcoal Grey Dye
Fuuudge
yeah
jesus these crafting quests are getting mega expensive
cant even imagine at higher levels
That name...
That player has some issues...
hey everyone I have a work around for those in California/Nevada who can't get in your servers
If you have the service, you can hotspot your computer from your phone and it just might work
does itvolve incense and chanting?
Because it doesn't use the same connection I'm assuming
You can chant while connecting
may help
I'm currently level 78 on my highest job, is it worth buying the neo ishgardian set now for when I hit 80?
if you can afford it, how long til you're at 80 msq wise?
I'm on the lvl 76 quest Rust and Ruin atm, I havent checked the msq list in awhile so I'm not sure how far along I am currently
it's not a terrible idea
if you can wait about 2 months, new gear tier by then :3
you're gonna need gear once you reach 80, and you can upgrade your 480 neo ish to aug neo ish with phantasmagoria
which is 490
then, just start getting pieces from bunker/aug crys/savage stuff to replace stuff that's BiS
so i'd just buy it now, yes
Ooh thats good to know! I probably can't wait that long though @brave ravine š
what do you play?
Thank you @rigid narwhal! I wasn't really sure how the endgame worked as far as gear progression goes, that clears up alot of my confusion š
and red mage
All attacks deal extra damage while used in flank/rear, or only when the action specifies it?
ah, cool
also once you hit 80 you'll have to start melding stuff
so do crit > dh >= det
if it doesn't have crit and isn't maxed, use crit. if it has dh, use crit melds
don't worry about pentamelding or anything rn, money sink for a small gain for a new 80
!rdmbis
š
@wheat plume only when specified
@wheat plume only when specified
@slate arrow thxs
@wheat plume only when specified
@slate arrow I've always tryed to stay in the rear all the time because I tough I deal more damage and get less damage lol

@rigid narwhal crit first? I was told DH first then crit š® thanks for the heads up!
btw, for the ring, do I just buy the same one twice?
gotcha! Thanks again ^.^
are there any limitations for joining a fc thats in a diff world, same server? can i still do all content with them as a guest?
ah ok
But you can only be in an FC on your home world.
o that sucks
of course you can still party with friends crossworld and do all content.
okie thanks
any NIN main in here?
Just go ahead and ask your question
Also server = world, you're thinking of datacentre.
tbf with today's infrastructure & abstraction, it might as well run on the same machine, but on different VMs
You use Doton and Huton prepall, then hide
you mean Hyton or Suiton?
Huton, the haste buff
Yes
I thought you use Suiton to hide in combat and reset your mudras that way
tool tip is a bit confusing for brainlet like me
quest operation crucible down says I must use makeshift bomb but I dont have that item
also, I cant select the objectives when Im next to them
It says the quest fiver was the provider of those bombs
should be in your keyitems
yes, it is, thanks. It's weird not to target the objective with the key item like every other quest with key items
Are there other ways to get fantasia besides paying and finishing arr
Nope
How do I remove a dye from an item that is in the glamour dresser?
Also, if I have an item in the glamour dresser and it's "unique" can I pick up another one?
Is there a hidden piece of clothing for glamour
@leaden ginkgo keep them around for your next visit of the diadem
especially the greens
@scarlet hinge yes, its called emperor's new <item>
how u get
there's a quest if oyu have a level 50 DoH or you can buy em from the market board
it approves in stacks o 5 or 10 i think
because you need stacks of 5/10
grade 3 is 5, grade 2 needs 10
grade 2 probably
are they expensive
generally not too expensive
I thought grade 2 was new nest, and we were on G3 now?
there's Grade 2 Achievements, that's why you can still collect the 80 materials @leaden ginkgo
Gotcha, thanks all
so when buying the game do i have to buy the online starter edition or can i just buy shadowbringers
if you're using a trial account you need to buy the base game
oo okay thanks
so I've grabbed one of those Razer keypads w/ 8-way joystick,
anyone have experience swapping from keyboard to one of those?
so when buying the game do i have to buy the online starter edition or can i just buy shadowbringers
@reef knot If you're playing in PS4, the complete edition, with base game and 3 expansions is half price this week
how do I check how many days of road to 70 have passed?
I don't think there's a way to do so in-game, but you can log into Lodestone and see what date your got your first achievement
and that will most likely be the day you created the character

Which DoH has lots of nice glamour outfits
?
im not sure what you mean
do you mean DoH that can wear nice glamour outfits
or DoH that can craft nice glamour outfits
although the answer will depend on your preference in glamour too :v
nice looking glamour
In the middle of playing my gf and I both got a server connection issue that booted us from the game. When trying to log back in, itāll let us select our characters but it loads super slow and when we try to load in it says connection to lobby lost. All other games and internet are fine. Anyone know whatās up?
how do i make a mark on the ground when im in a dungeon
Ctrl+m
armour, leatherworker, or weaver then
and dragoon
whats the macro for healer's rez with alert and text? WHM
can you try logging in on an alt? or creating one if necessary? there's a slim possibility that your files for the zone you're logging into got corrupted or something
is there a site where i can see the glamours than can be made
actually, if it's happening on two different computers, that's obviously not the case...
garlandtools can let you view how the gears look... somewhat
ah thanks for that guys!
is there a way for ask for help to a quest where I keep diyin?
@thick flume Same issue for me
no, 2 side quests very close to each other, with a fate close too
too much enemies to avoid diying
you know sidequests with
icon are optional for the most part right
yes
well in that case to avoid dying
you're going to ahve to maneuver their line of sight a bit better
or finish the fate
to clear it out
Used your ranged attack to pull individual ones away from the group
someone from novice chat helped me, thxs anyway. Bet even with him (30 levels more than me) killing everything, there were so many enemies I almos died twice.
It was a lvl 48 side quest, are all side quests from now on going to be as hard as this one?
no sidequests are really designed to be difficult...
what was the quest, exact situation, and what class were you?
I'm Dragon 49
don't forget about your chocobo companion, by the way. Its healer skills are helpful in situations like this.
do you have your job gear?
Drachen helm, gloves, legs and boots, plus a weapon and chestpiece that are level 40-45 or over?
Also, are you being careful to pull few mobs at a time and distance yourself from others/sneak around them with line of sight?
plus Second Wind and Arm's Length from your role actions pool
Side quests were both lvl 48, one is The Way the crystals crumble, the other was something cuttroath, one was defeating an enemy, the other using bombs in 3 crates
Bloodbath too
oh yeah bloodbath
But too much enemies, and even If I could kill one by one to advance slowly, there was a fate with more moving enemies at the same time
arm's length is like a baby tank cooldown but you can access it on DPS
I was with chocobo companion
What about the gear?
Yes, I have the dragon armor that was given to me in the job quest lvl 45
oof if there's a fate in range, just back off and wait for the fate timer to run out.
well then avoiding enemies and only engaging as necessary is just a skill to learn
The timer for the fate ended and 1 minut later it started again
The fate being there killed the pace I had while killing enemies 1 by 1
My chocobo companion is for attacking, and I've started to use him just 2 hours ago.
Yeah that's at the area of Western La Noscea with the pirates FATE for Sahagin beast tribe dailies.
There are a lot of mobs there
but by paying attention to their ranges and line of sight, it's very doable.
Also, are you being careful to pull few mobs at a time and distance yourself from others/sneak around them with line of sight?
@jade quartz yes, all that
just takes some getting used to
but by paying attention to their ranges and line of sight, it's very doable.
@jade quartz Yes, everything was easy, just 1 by 1, but fate was horrible in that place
But, if I am in any similar situation, is it easy for ask party for help? I'm kinda noob at the game and don't know everything yet.
yeah people in Novice Network are usually willing to help with that as it's relatively low-effort for them

@jade quartz Yes, there is very nice people there. But are there ways for asking random players not close to me to form party?
Like some party request board menu or something?
Party finder is where you can put up basically a recruitment ad and people can click on it to join your party.
great, thxs
But for something like this I'd expect a faster result just from Nov Net
yes, the grand company seals
centurio seals, obtained from hunts
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
Grand Company hunts are unlocked once you promote to 2nd Lieutenant
And how do I unlock 2nd lieutenant?
You promote to it by talking to the personnel officer
And theyāll tell you what to do and how many seals youāll need to pay
Grand Company Hunts that give grand company seals are the same as the hunts that give centurio seals?
Different hunts
Personnel Officer is the one who gives hunts to earn Company Seals?
actually i was mistaken, the green/white one is allied seal, not centurio
And how can I get allied seals?
still hunts, but only ARR ones iirc
So, we have 3 kind of hunts, the ones that give allied seal, the ones that give company seals and the ones that give centurio seals, right?
where do I buy 270/level 60 weapons? its not with the armour vendor
or am I blind af
Bertana sells the weapons in Idyllshire
You will get a set of Eikonic gear from MSQ iirc, from a coffer
Eikonic itself is for glamour, shire is best stat for lvl 60
can i get the lvl 70 gear with poetics?
yes
is it the highest ilvl?
you can buy level 70 ilvl 400 gear with poetics
thats the highest you can buy with poetics
ok good
ralghr's reach
Or Kugane, but only after finishing the base Stormblood questline
right next to the Aetheryte
What's the difference between gear lvl and gear ilvl ?

Itemlevel shows the relative strength of the equipment
item level is the item's statistical strength basically
currently 500
it goes up each major patch with content added i think
with 505 weapon from Eden savage
wow, that's a lot
It goes up every other major patch
when a new raid tier and capped tomestone is introduced.
Can I get that gear crafting, or only looting raids?
you can buy/craft up to ilvl 480 gear
Not sure if it's the right channel to ask about glamour. Anyone knows gunblade glamour that looks like dreadwyrm weapons?
i500 comes from savage raid and upgrading the current capped tomestone gear
I've seen in one of the guide video but can't identify which one is it
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Gunbreaker_Weapon/Shadowbringers here're images of every gunblade in the game btw
plus three in the "level 1" category
I think i found it, it's called ultimate anarchy ty ty
I don't think any of them really look much like Dreadwyrm but Odune and Ruby Sawback would be closest
the uwu weps look so good but i dont think i'd ever be good enough to do uwu
this one
That's TEA
what's uwu stands for?
not UWU
ultima weapon ultimate
UWU weapon is ARR relic ultima right?
there are no uwu/ucob weps for gnb and dnc
Yes, but that's not an UWU weapon as ^
it's from TEA--The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate)
ah
oh š¤ nice
it looked like an uwu wep
it doesn't
i mean let's be right there's technically no base forms of the weapons for gnb and dnc for TEA, they just model ripped some green weps and applied the TEA glow to them
it's got the gears effect
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
but i digress
i wasnt payin much attention
yeah the base model is some dungeon gunblade
hmm what's the requirement to join these TEA(Ultimate) group š¤
do we have any guide somewhere?
Need to have cleared E4S
To unlock it
and people usually ask for high-ish parses and have finished the current raid tier
From what ive seen
If you aren't even familiar with what it is yet then you're probably not at the level to be joining up
ultimate fights are the hardest content in this game, and clearing one typically takes over 100 hours of progression with a static of capable players.
i see, ty ty
yeah ultimates require absolute perfection on mechanics, very high gameskill and proper coordination in the group
At least TEA doesn't require you to know how to play your job at an old max level
wouldn't mind it ngl
for gearing, just get the recommended one right? like ilvl 500 and the respectful melding
no
since it's sync'd down not sure what should I get
TEA has a lower ilvl sync
you probably need to look this stuff up if you have any serious plans to try
yeah there is TEA-specific BiS
ah alright, i'm still doing all the blue quests after finishing msq hehe
okay i'll look it up
but look
if you can't already farm current savage
you're not gonna be doing ultimate
ok ty ty
so basically get all 475 ilvl gears and put respective materia? (VIII)?
the idea is to avoid get sync'd down so the materia bonus isn't lost
not all 475
because not every 475 piece from heroes gauntlet is something your job would want
no reason to not unlock something
it'll appear in one of your roulettes if its normal/hard content
ex/savage/ultimate won't but it'll be something to work towards if you have interest
there are some dungeons and trials that annoyingly stick around in your Journal until you run them once
but that only matters if it bothers you
do I just spam these to level from 60-61?
no, Gubal Library gives more XP than those
Run gubal normal, the level 59 version
Yes
Ahh alright thanks I didn't know these dungeons didn't give a lot of exp
Those were released when those were the lvl cap so have little exp
aye ty will spam gubal
Those dungeons are designed to give tomestones instead.
sightseeing log unlocked
im keep getting surprised what kind of things in this game lol
Make sure to unlock the Challenge Log if you haven't yet
it's big chunks of free exp every week for doing stuff you'd be doing normally anyway

Daily quests
to increase a reputation rank and unlock story and some items from their shop, including some handy crafting materials that aren't bought from any other vendors, and of course a unique mount for each tribe
sylph
I finished main quest 2-3 days ago
ARR
since that I decided to do only blue quests
cuz I havent done any non MSQ since like 15
pog
so i'm finally getting around to gathering, does gear really matter when i'm just using the diadem for leveling?
cos so far all i can see is lvl 10 gathering nodes
so idk if it matters
about the beast tribe reputation missions...
is it just 30 points a day?
I thought u can do like 12 mission daily
but it stopped giving me after 3
oh 12 mission to max it
ohhh
so you can do three quests for four tribes
five in ARR, three in each expansion
damn
four combat, one crafter tribe in ARR.
HW has two combat and one crafter
SB two combat and one crafter/gatherer
I assume the Sylph one is the crafter
oh ye I should stop only reading MSQ and read stuff like this
rather than a regular combat job
okay unlocked another stuff called palace of the dead
is it something I should do?
I understood what is it, rather question how much is it worth doing?
is potd still a descent option to get from lvl 60 to 61?
I'd recommend doing Library instead
25 minute que here I come
@small rampart potd is a solid alternative for leveling alt jobs when the dungeon queue is too long
Which most likely happens with dps jobs
@tardy bay
If you can access Heaven-on-High, you should do that.
heaven on high is dead content on shiva
Oh? HoH is cross-server content.
I do it quite often on the Light DC.
But yeah, unlocking it requires PotD floor 50 complete
I'd do PotD & HoH anyway, just for the achievements
Isn't HoH 61+ ?
is retainer gearing the same as normal gearing?
pretty much
You can do HoH solo too, floor 1 to 20 are easy.
as a ninja?
as any job really
do all roulettes, and you're looking at like 3hrs of playtime (half of that just MSQ roulette) every day
I have already done them yesterday
so you can do them again today in like 3hrs
and untill then I'm stuck at lvl 60?
You can still do fates or whatever while sitting in queue
it's not like you have to sit on your hands while the queue is going on
Queue Gubal, do FATEs, Beast Tribes while you wait?
I've run out of fates to do during the now 40 minute que
the only thign spawning nowa re boss fights
yes
dps? not potd/hoh?
dps
Well it's mostly because it's in the middle of the day I guess
Nothing you can do about it though
watch some netflix
Yeah, just the wrong time of day.
ohhh not sure about na population midday
It's very early morning NA. But it's early afternoon EU.
oh right, it's EU o_o sorry
yeah same here in JP. Unless it's 15:00 JP time onwards till 24:00, no chance getting potd/hoh going >.>
well, I tried to finish 1-70 in 5-6 days so I can prepare for university again

It's sad when you have so much free time but lack people who also have that time
I feel you D:
^
I have people, but none that play ff14
I'm going to have two whole weeks at the end of the month with nothing to do because WoW got delayed
ala mighan earrings work on dol/h job right
i forgot i had them for awhile
fuck me
WoW 
(I'm kidding. It's fine to play other games too. Prevents burnout. Also it's not that bad a game)
@open coral level crafters
