Hey guys, does this game have a referral program?
Basically usually the advice is just level all crafters
Refer a friend yes
i can not find it, can you point me in the right direction?
oh wow i feel a bit dumb now, thanks 😄
Why am I getting Antitower for a roulette every time now? Five days straight. That does not sound like it is random

That one too? Because funny thing is, when I queued for research facility yesterday. I asked if the others were here for poetic grind, and the other three said relic weapon
All the lvl 60 dungeons
Is the HW relic all the 50 dungeons?
Doesn't matter which one, most people just do anti tower because it's the fastest
Some, and it depends on the step
I had to do three already
This is the ShB relic we are talking about btw
Not the SB one
There will be more steps for the ShB one
That would explain why everything is "less than 5m" as for dungeons and dungeon roulettes
not really a "game question" but are hakamas supposed to be long pleated skirts? I thought they were pants
Skirty pants basically, yes
Some game models have it wrong for the sake of simplicity I guess
Also it depends on how you wear them because without boots they look more like a skirt as compared to if you tuck them into boots
I am more distracted that when running could see my underwear, just gonna glam them some pants then
I mean, traditionally you would go Fundoshi only under them
So naked leg is accurate I guess
I had Dun Scaith three days in a row T - R, are people queuing for that for some reason? Because I had to wait an hour and a half for that when I first did it
No particular reason, no
just started freetrial, am i not supposed to do every single quest i see?
!faq newplayertips
Ignore
basically
^
If you're interested in world building and such
imagine doing every quest
Some people do
has anyone macros bugged out before?
the commands use for the macro is the not same as what is written
Macros for what?
macro for crafting
@glossy flare well thanks for input, I googled hakamas and they are pants. You are right about he model thing
Or you used the wrong macro altogether
I wear them 3 times a week for Kendo practice, I know my shit 😄
Make your buffs wait.3
Buffs need a bit longer to prime
Extend wait on all actions to account for lag as necessary
how come sometimes during my hypercharge window my heatblast goes smooth and sometimes its like super rigid and bad feeling
I need yellow gather scripts, what can I do other than Special Delivery?
I need to do quests to unlock lv 71+ collectables right?
I don't remember needing to do a quest to unlock them after 50. I could be wrong though.
Also crystarium/facet deliveries and custom deliveries reward yellow scrip.
Are you in ShB content yet?
Yeah
They are the replacement for crafter/gather job quests in ShB. You pick up the quests in the Crystarium at the Crystalline Mean.
Is it a good idea to main 2 melee dps
I can not choose between dragoon and samurai
Bought steam version of the game, CD key doesnt work on mogstation, lovely......
I am using the steam client
What did you buy and what do you own
Hi guys, is there anything in particular i should be doing with old gear? it's starting to clutter up my inventory and I'm not sure what to do with all this stuff that I have no intention of using right now. Both my retainers are full so I can't throw anything else in there either 😦
I wanna get rid of it but I don't know if there's a "smart" way of doing it 🤔
Desynth if crafters are 30+, throw at grand company turn ins if you got those unlocked
Otherwise vendoe
Gearing up your retainer is another option
Does any vendor work or should I just toss them on the marketboard?
ok, thank you!
If you want to keep gears for fashion or just want have more space to keep gears
You can put them in glamour dresser too
you'd think I learn how to play this game after hitting level 80 but none of this makes sense and it's kinda overwhelming lol
Should I be undercutting other people by 1 gil on MB?
I heard some people say it doesn't matter? The newest item put up will always be on top?
A lot of these secondary stuff aren't explained
@faint flare
I bought Final fantasy XIV online complete edition from steam
Or if I want my item on top of MB, I need to undercut by a gil?
@ripe hound when the item being sold is 4-6 digit in price, usually people don't care about paying 1 Gil less
I downloaded the game thro steam, open the game thro steam, made an account and it wont let me login
Yeah, but I want to make sure my item is on the top when people search for it
And this game is almost 7 years old by now, undercutting by 1 Gil won't trick any serious buyers
Does it take a lot of effort to scroll down?
Yeah I just meant for random mats
For random mats, sure
No... but there isn't a reason to buy stuff with 1 extra gil right?
The lowest price will always be on top so short answer: yes, undercutting the cheapest seller by 1 gil will take you to the top temporarily (until someone undercuts you too).
1 gil isn't make or break
Yeah
Anyway, the question is, can you undercut people by 0 gil?
Sellers hate people who cut by 1 gil
I heard on Reddit that the item shows up the order people put them up
The newest is always on top
Is this true?
@leaden ginkgo did you try entering it on steam
That's not how it works
I am not really familiar with the steam client
So I am just guessing here
We are not selling Banana in farmers market
No need to know date of manufacturing
Just need to know price and unit
Only the cheapest is on top. Not the newest, not alphabetically, not quality-based.
Doesn't work through steam
anyone here know how to help him
Really just pissing me off how this can still happend with a game big as this T.T
Yeah, I just heard that if the price is the same, it's always the one that started selling the latest
Probably will take 1 week for respond on ticket aswell
Probably just rumors
Affirmative, so take care to read the quantity and total price before purchasing materials.
Take a screenshot of the error, Shady
Are u new to the game shady?
Because the cheapest seller might have like 99 listed and if you don't notice that you'll pay way more than you intended.

Yeah, buying the right quantity is definitely important
@leaden ginkgo do you find the codes from the DLC key section in your steam library's ffxiv page?
(not the store page, your library page)
Yes
Can you take a screenshot of them, obviously hide the actual code
Just need to see which keys you own
Do steam have regional stuff?
Possibly a regional issue, after eliminating other factors
what's the fastest way i can level dark knight from 30 to 50?
Can one make a macros that just says something to the party without tying an action such as resurrection to it? There are some things that I type regularly in certain dungeons and it would be quicker if I can make macros just saying said things
what is leveling roulette?
Yes chat macros are fine
Short version: you get a daily bonus exp but the game get to decide which dungeon you go
This aims to help new players to get their content cleared, while roulette players always get reward worthwhile for their level
Leveling roulette is the one marked as Lv 16 (entry requirements)
thank you
Take note that each roulette offers daily bonus per character
Do leveling roulette once for good bonus exp, then grind the highest level dungeon you can queue for manually
Note:
Leveling roulette can put you into a very low level dungeon, but it will compensate by giving significantly more bonus exp on completion. No matter how high your level is, most of the roulette are worth doing for exp and/or rewards.
Ignore Adventurer in Need bonus, it is like a spoon of reward compared to the bath tub of the daily bonus.
So you actually get less for adventurer in need?I assumed that it was in addition to the daily bonus
It is not less
It is not just worth swapping to other roles to get the adventurer in bonus
You compared a spoon to a bathtub
its like getting icecream for dessert
and adding some sprinkles to it
you won't miss out on not having it
It is in addition to the daily bonus
Not meeting it won't take anything off the daily bonus itself
I worded my response poorly, apologies
How could the hempen gear go from tens to hundreds of thousands to just only hundreds on the market board just in a matter of 48 hours? I wasted my rest XP hoping to score big! I feel that it was not worth my frustration crafting said things. That my friend is why I leave crafting to my wife
Hempen gear marked at 100k is probably just some newbie crafters marking it too high
It cost next to nothing to make hempen gear, anywhere between 1-3k is more realistic
Regarding marketboard, you are selling to other players
I was told the other day that there is typically a huge markup on those because people like it
It is very different from selling to NPC
can't people just buy the hempen stuff from NPC?
Check the sales history before you sell stuff
It is a button to the top right of your pricing UI
It is very different from selling to NPC
Don't make random stuff in bulk and expect people to gobble it up
And always verify and check the trend
yes, you can buy it from npcs but that doesn't mean people know you can
so there are some items that can potentially sell well despite being vendor items
that said, its on you to pay attention to sell history and see if its actually being bought or not
My wife sold something very high yesterday so I made a dozen of them just for the price to go from riches to wrags overnight.
just because something sold well once
well, how many did your wife make?
doesn't mean you should go and sell a dozen of those things
you have to actually pay attention to the market and the sell history
But it went down before I even listed any
not to mention you're likely not the only person who saw things selling well and decided to sell it too
Volatile market
And what Samhain said
just post 1 or 2, not all your stock
it depends on how fast things sell imo
It is not always that direct unfortunately
niche markets work like that
For example, I managed to unload 10 different bundle of processed gemstone during a dungeon lol
Ahh
That's fair
Marketboard is pretty damn close to real world trading in the key parts
On top of understanding supplies and demand, you need to know what amount sells for what kind of buyers
99x processed HQ metal will yield big buck, but almost nobody need that much, so it might take ages to sell
I'm a fan of niche markets, the profit margin is huge
it's what makes crafting in this game relevant
Except crafting is frustrating sometimes because of frequent failed actions
If a rare recipe usually needs just one gemstone, then try not to sell that gemstone in stack
I don't find crafting frustrating at all
I don't really understand what you mean with "failed actions"
Stuff like hasty touch failing 7 times out
!action Hasty Touch
you won't use it as often after you level up your crafter a little bit more
Nvm, I was thinning something else
Hasty Touch helps crafters that don't have enough CP to reach 100% quality
but it adds RNG in exchange
Failing Hasty Touch 7 times in a row is roughly what, around 1 in 100 ish in chance
Bit crap luck wise, but it is still valid RNG
yeah, happens sometimes, but in other crafts you get hella lucky and get Excellent twice
Crafting requires more patience than I was born with. However, my wife loves it and can do it all day
I agree with that, not everyone has patience for it
imagine jewel crafters in real life
Crafting mini game in XIV is surprisingly well made
yeah it's not like I've seen something like that in other games
the one that summons the scissors guy?
yea
they're only in the Inns of main cities within the Source
there are no crystal bells in The First
idk what those things are
hey
whats retainer max lvl
The First is the world in Shadowbringers
you aren't supposed to fish with hasty touch anymore
yes e6s
but yes you should stand with them for the garuda tethers
4 orb you stand above the orb thats going into the bacon strip
if you stand too close to the other one
you die
im d1
Me, if I need something crafted bad enough, I will buy the materials myself and give them to my brother-in-law and have him craft it. All his crafters are level 80. It is still too early to ask my wife to craft. Her crafters are in the upper 20s
do i follow tank
i just try to dodge the orb myself
because we are both opposite each other
use anti knockback
wrong mechanic @leaden ginkgo
is this the one after conflag?
I see
people stick together so the proteans that come out from those tethers don't clip another player
ye i stick with other people
you need to be tight enough in position to not get hit by the other orb either
but not with MT
are those green and red arrows just meant to draw attn? Or do they mean something
oh, that's cool
its auto-translate
you can type somethign and hit tab and teh game will give suggestions
Using the EB ring, what happens if you teleport to someone in a zone you don't have access to due to MSQ progress?
For example: I'm still in the 2.X MSQ, and I try to teleport into Ishgard. Would it let me?
Simply doesn’t work
I saw a friend put a Shishi-odoshi inside their house, how can they do that if it's an outdoor furnishing?
Sounds like a different furniture that looks similar
!iglam indoor oriental garden
This?
Crafted with alchemist at 80
Use sprint, go north
eat the ball/
never follow your teammate xD
When I reach level 60, do I have to pay for subscription to continue leveling up past 60? Or buy the ShB DLC?
is there a map showing off where ivalice, dalmasca and bojza are relative to each other? i'm a little confused
if you run north before the aoe appears, you'll kill your party
@magic wren you have to buy the full game and the ShB expansion
you get a free 30 days
then you have to pay monthly sub
unfortunately, we don't have a world map that shows off exactly where bozja is
!faq worldmap
Wait so the starter edition is not the full game?😦
STarter edition is JUST ARR
Starter Edition is ARR I believe
You need ShB as well
I have HW
that said though, should probably be somewhere to the northwest ish of dalmasca i believe
or you can just get the complete edition
But I still keep my character?
yes
Dang I should’ve bought the complete edition whenever it was on sale...
did you finish HW?
Someone said on here it was a different license. That I wouldn’t be able to use the same character
Starter edition is Arr and heavensward
No I just started it.
you keep your character, regardless of license
is daily MSQ worth doing if I get instant level-appropriate queues?
If you're on trial you keep your character when upgrading
And I’m level 54 so I know I’ll be well over 60 by the end of it
Yes, roulette experience scales to your level
Also the side bonus of tomestones for the roulettes that give them
you could just level to 60, try some classes and hope for a sale before the next expansion hits
also, I bet they'll have a christmas sale too
Yeah true. I have a PLD close to 60 too.
I tried DRK when I entered Ishgard but was highly disappointed lol
I don’t know it didn’t feel right to me. But to each their own.
@leaden ginkgo thanks will do

I will survive every soccer if i run north?
Yeah as long as you don't already have vuln soccer uptime is just a safe strat for more damage and no risk
how do i check my hours played on a character?
/Playtime
thank you
had to reaffirm i had played more on just this character than someone in my friend group
uh.. is there any way to remove this?
nope, best you can do is change it to a lamp that's a little less intrusive/style you like
well darn..
If I complete ARR on a Free Trial account, do I still get a Phantasia?
yes
Is there a benefit to owning a house/apt? Other than just having one
not anymore really
I guess it stores housing items so you can save space but If you don't have any intention of getting one your probably just sell it so eh
It's not that useful, just something some people like
You used to need a house to get to diadem via building your own airship. But now you just go there through Ishgardian Firmament.
no you dont misread
the main "useful" thing about having a house nowadays is largely gardening
but its not necessary at all
Is gardening part of "If you do one crafting class you might as well do them all"?
not really
ok then I'll pass 😄
gardening lets you grow certain crafting materials
or shards if you need those/want to make some fairly passive gil
Rare drop from lockboxes in Bojza Southern Front
Thanks
what's the difference between eorzea and aldenard?
does anyone know of any form of group finder that could get me in a firebird grind party
i want that mount so bad but since its hw nobodys gunning for it
if anyone at all wants to help me with the dungeons let me know
@proven sparrow They're different continents. That's all.
the map i'm looking at just lists eorzea as aldenard
Without looking at your map, I can't say. The wiki I just checked is a bit confusing about it. It says Aldenard is the continent and Eorzea is the "global region" @carmine goblet shepps
@oblique trellis materials for fancier cosmetics are locked behind gardening
But thats mostly just minions and house decor
!faq worldmap
Ty
@proven sparrow Eorzea is more of a region than one continent. It includes Aldenard plus some other areas, such as islands. https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Eorzea
like surrounding islands or other?
cuz isn't that like if japan wasn't part of asia
Sometimes mistakenly referred to as a "continent", Eorzea is more properly a realm, comprised of Aldenard, the westernmost of the Three Great Continents, and its surrounding islands, including most notably, Vylbrand.
we don't really have a real-world counterpart category to compare it to. it's more than a "continent", more like a name for an entire area of one part of the world
Ilsabard is, ofc, garlemald
Ala Mhigo is part of Eorzea
Ilsabard and Othard
"This plot of land is not yet ready for purchase"

how long are the housing timers?
yes
@stable hinge There really isn't a way to know how much time is left on a specific plot. It's random and invisible
Ty
Its why people camp there for hours and hours instead of just coming when the timers almost up
Is it worth buying a small plot just for gardening?
If I'm levelling a second class that is currently around 35, but have already unlocked all of the 1-50 dungeons with my first, when I do a dungeon roulette, is there a chance I may be put in a dungeon higher than my level? I know the below 50s don't have ilvl requirements, but they do have level requirements, yes?
You cant get a dungeon higher level than you no
@rigid pecan no impossible
Good. That's what I thought, but I wanted to be absoluetly sure
but that doesnt mean that you shouldnt check your armor though lvl 51 whm wearing level 20 gear at aurum vale
whats the diference between shop selling price and gil?
my experience XD
I'm slightly fanatical about keeping ilvl on pace, so that shouldn't be an issue.
@stable hinge buy the housing set for it off the market board in exterior items
@haughty spade
Shop Selling Price: if a vendor sells it somewhere and for how much.
Sells for: the Gil you get for selling it to a vendor
ooo okay
How do you get the Deep Essences in Bozja? High level Fragments?
those are from chests inside castrum lacus
Ah, okay. Just chest items then.

whats something I can buy with my allagan tomestones of poetics that I can sell?
There isnt much gil in poetics that I know of
I usually stockpile mats for relic weapons
yea poetic stuff doesnt really sell since its incredibly easy to cap on poetics
ahh okay and how does the music rolls/ faded copies thing work?
You use them in your inventory, then they can be played in an inn or your house
!faq poetics
Does anyone know a glamour I can get that quick and easy to get to wear to a ceremony of eternal bonding?
I believe its a convulted path to get topsoil to sell on MB
buy unidentifiable ore/shell > exchange for topsoil
Go to uldah, buy the bestman/bridesmaid stuff. Shop near aetheryte
I looked at that but it looks kinda weird on Au'ra males
Q: How do cross-world Free Companies work? Is it just a social thing or are meet ups and dungeon runs somehow arranged
they don't
There is no cross world FC
Oh is it just the link shell communication?
Yes CWLS would work
is it a realistic goal to clear the first 2 floors week 1 with pugs
Week 1 pug is a roll of the dice
kk tyty
Should be fine but still depends on the tier
Sigmascape was unbelievably easy for example
And i think one of alexander tiers was super tough
Isn't the last tier supposed to be the hardest?
because i'd bet they'd learn from LR
can I use one of each type of gardening patch or is it limited to one gardening patch in general?
One patch in general for small houses
How do I change the name of a chat log
Should be in log settings of character configuration
is it better to use floating minnow instead of pillbug to catch a HQ harbor herring?
how do i get to the right plot
in the goblet
i'm only able to get to 1-30
and i need 31-60
when you travel to a ward, click on the ward number, then click the 31-60 at the top
then confirm you want to go there
Use the aethernet shard
You have to be a certain rank in your GC
you need to b sergeant second class with your grand company to be able to submit gear for expert delivery
@keen fable the select button at the bottom left
oh, then... you're already there?
no. i'm not
Use the aethernet shard and press the one that says #2
you use the actual aethernet and choose the subdivision version of the aetheryte
subdivision is teh other half 31-60
What channy said
its the same map rotated like 90 degrees
ah
oh i didn't even realize that're where subdivisions go oof
sorry
also nevermind about the harbor herring thing, i got my marlin
i wonder if i should try to catch a regular quality one instead of turning in this HQ one
well that was fast, took 2 bait to get one NQ
whats a good way to make a lot of gil?
Crafting
If you don't like that, Treasure hunting is the way to go, but nets less money.
what job is crafting under?
alot
Crafting is its own separate thing. There are 8 crafting classes. Almost all of which sort of feed into each other for materials and gear. Selling glamour items can be profitable but requires some effort.
and three gathering classes
dang
Anyone else being disconnected a lot tonight?
not once

Just subscribed out of free trial, is there anything I should prioritize getting besides starting Stormblood MSQ?
omg there is so much
Hire retainers.
Go to retainer vocate in the market area of any major city and hire two retainers.
I also just subbed out of free trial 😄
They're your item bank, marketboard access and can be sent on gathering forays to get you items.
you cant have retainers on free trial?
nope
you guys know any fake doors and windows I can put in my house?
where is weaver guild?
Ul'dah, Steps of Thal
How do you send your retainers out to gather things?
Unlock retainer ventures with the quest
An Ill-Conceived Venture which you'll be able to find near the aetheryte in any of the three starting cities.
Ahh, thank you kindly
Anyone new leveling?
is there a way to preview the housing NPCs?
Is there a macro for "focus's target"?
Focus target? In what sense?
I got sick of always having to check what all the NPCs look like before picking one, so I took pictures of all of them so that I (and other people, I guess) will never have to check again!
Journeyman Salvager:
https://i.imgur.com/BEtWyv6.png
Materia Melder:
https://i.i...
There is a keybind for setting a focus target and for targeting a focus target.
thanks Lyon
The placeholder for your current focus target in a macro is <f>
like I dunno
/ac Shirk <f>
I mean, like I want to cast Stone on my focus's target
that would cast tone on my focus tho
oh okay
Assuming you mean focus target and not just
current target
"Focus target" is a specific UI element where you set a focus target to have their health bar big on the side of your screen
If you want to target your currently targeted target's target
then <tt>
I.e. if you're currently targeting a boss
and that boss is targeting the tank
then a macro /ac "Divine Benison" <tt> would cast benison on the tank while you were still tareting the boss with your next attack
I still wouldn't recommend this for many purposes, though.
is there a good fast way to level weaver?
Is getting a card from winning triple triad random?
Levequests. At lvl 20, charity leves. HQ turn-ins double the reward. Takes me about a day to level a crafter to 50 like that. And that's only cuz I gather my own mats. @haughty spade
gathering too
how do I get that friendship bracelet thing to increase exp?
how are the big windows where light passes through and they're so cute and nice called
so perception and gathering
yes
Jewelry is needed for GP increases. I craft mine. You can buy it, too
Friendship bracelets are from friend referrals before you activate your first sub I believe
Is it just me or is the Ramuh Trial dead?
so I just brought my first sub today, can I still get the referral thing?
Don't believe you can, unfortunately
ahhhhhhhh
are you still on your 30 days free from buying the starter/complete edition?
Are there any recommended guides for Bozjan?
Some random reddit or youtube guide
That kind of stuff
I brought the complete editon
it comes with 30 days free, so if you're still on that then yes you can enter a RAF code
on the mogstation, there should be an "enter recruitment code" (assuming you can still do so)
can someone help my friend and me join a party?
I can
cant find you unless im doing it worng
You guys must be on the same datacentre at least.
Might be in a different data center
You shouls be able to see your server on the top right of the screen
Next to the clock iirc
Oh im in Lamia
ill do it
Lamia is in primal so you cant see them.
How do you remember which server is what data center 
r wolf marks easy 2 get
omg! thank you so much

you guys think culinarian is a good money maker?
^
but this is assuming you're endgame obviously
cul and alchemy
so if im new to game then cul is not good money aker?
No crafters are good moneymaker until max level
Even then it depends on patch and luck which crafter got the lucrative recipe.
leveling up a crafter requires a little bit of up-front investment
ALC and CUL probably have the steadiest income beacuae
ALC makes stuff for every other crafter + Potion
CUL makes food
Alc also makes orchestion rolls if you’re into that
those are the songs?
Yes
WVR LTW etc depends on new barding or glamour being released. CRP depends on new furniture etc.
there are some low level glamours
and furniture that can be made at lower levels that people will want
how do i prevent spamming macros? I have the basic raise macro but dunno how to stop it from repeating when i mash the rez
manually raise, and have a macro solely for announcing it
it'll be a lot more responsive that way
have /micon at the bottom
so the macro reads hte dead line last
have more /ac raise lines overall to help alleviate the macro queuing problem
and lastly don't use raise in your macro and have it be a message only
the wait isn't the problem
do i need to use the same class for farming bitter memories for the resistance weapon?
that's great. thanks!
How does further ruin work on the summoner? just got ruin iv
whenever you use an egi assault that deals damage you will be given a stack of further ruin, which replaces ruin 2 with ruin 4
at 62 only egi assault 1 gives further ruin stacks
at 74 egi assault 2 will also give stacks
ahh I see, there wasn't any instructions on the skill so I wasn't too sur about it, thanks for clearing it up
Is there any other way to obtain the bozjan runners secrets without 999 coins? seems real unrealistic with how little castrum spawns and how even fewer participate let alone have knowledge for the last section.
this is bullshit, why is the launcher so slow download speed?
Regular like steam updates give me 10 mb/s but this crappy ff xiv launcher give me max 2.4 mb/s
can I make the shards needed to craft in alc?
Right now I started the FFXIV launchers download ... its on stable 2.4 mb/s.. I also started steam and updated a game there.. it went up to 11 mb/s
The crafter levelling quests to 50 yield a thousand to 2k depending on crafter
is there a function to withdraw all armoury chest eq not linked to gear set to inventory
Anyone have a solution on this?
That was also doing leves roughly one leve per every 5 levels tho. And leves also give shards. Not alot but a few each

mrglad, the launcher is just bad
your route to the servers affects the speeds aswell
I have a question with pressing buttons in ff14
I like to use my mouse a lot when using spells, but the pop up menu for my the spell description keeps popping out
and it gets annoying especially in raids and dungeon run
I saw some YT do the same thing as me, and pop up description action/spell is gone if they hover the mouse on the action
you can make it so that your tooltips are shown in a fixed position, rather than at the mouse
how do I disable that
its in character config
In Character Configuration > UI Settings you can change "action help" to appear in a fixed position on the screen instead of by your mouse.
Thank you so much!
or turn it off altogether but I wouldn't really recommend this
because reading tooltips is important 👀
Under "Display Action Help": Position: drop down menu > fixed
then you can go into System Menu > HUD Layout and move and resize it to exactly where you want it
its in the corner of my screen
Ive got a lore question
Ask away, but use ||spoiler tags|| if it's about story spoilery stuff
Okey
||well I haven't finished all of it but during the dragoon story quest isn't Estinien a rogue Dragoon who was supposed to have stolen the Nidhoggs eye from ishgard who you later, in the level 50 quest fight and then dissapear. Why does he later appear in the mainstory quest when the dragons treat ishgard? And why is he a ally of ishgard who he supposedly betrayed?||
||I could make the case that stories aren't related yet Estinien addresses you as a Dragoon||
||While Estinien did go rogue, he didn't do it to betray Ishgard, he did it to protect it.||
Hey guys..is there a fast way to skip the main q trials..i always costs me 30 min as dd to wait for a squad.
nope. you can throw up a party finder and say "bonus first time unsync" and an 80 or more will most likely join
if you're in EU its early in the morning too
you're not likely to find a match
if you're in NA its middle of the night
Also very few people knew about the exact situation
tank/healer will of course not have that issue
||Then why do you have a fight with Estinien to death in the lvl50 quest?||
you didn't
At the grand company i get an npc squad..cant i use them?^^
not for MSQ stuff like that, no
@polar hound yeah thanks i know..but im too unexpierenced for tank or heal
no worries, everyone starts somewhere.
also because ||he learned that the man he considered an adopted father to him basically allowed his home/family to die even the situation was a little more complicated than that||
Being a tank/healer is no guarantee of an immediate queue. But it's certainly quicker 99% of the time. You can try to find someone to queue with you.
@queen yoke ||he was enthralled by the power of the Eye of Nidhogg, which he had failed to keep under the control of his own willpower.||
||So he was being controlled|?||
80s love bonus tomes so ykno..if you dont care about mechanics/wanna get thru try PF recruiting with "bonus" in the tag
||Yes, although his own feelings made him vulnerable to this happening in the first place.||
@polar hound yeah this will be the fastest way i think..on the server here is no lfg right?
Okay wait makes no sense with datacenter^^
there is recruiting but doubt it'll be very fruitful..try PF ^^
by msq trials i presume you mean stuff like dungeons or actual trials right? like primals
@polar hound im lvl 56 bard.would it help if i reroll to scholar?
absolutely healer will have a muuuuch faster queue time.. but play what's fun to you if you can handle the wait times
@polar hound man i love my mobility as bard..cant give it up😂
are there job level quests for crafters past 70?
fair, you'll have cast times otherwise..try the bonus route and pray some 80 needs some tomes lol
are there job level quests for crafters past 70?
@leaden ginkgo nope you only have the facet/crystalline mean deliveries
which group the crafters into a type of crafting
as well as gatherers
and you do submission for them
thanks, I'll look for the npc
@polar hound do i ned any specific settings for a unsynced trial? Or just choose the trial and write unsynced 1st try in the description?
in your duty finder itself when you go to queue, there's a cog/settings at the top, click that, click undersized party, then queue
when ready..it'll take your current party in
Call me stupid but I have no idea how to get to Mourn
I'm legit lost lmao
Stupid tunnels
go to anyx trine
It looks like I need to fly? I'm too dumb to get this map lol
you're fine. try from the southern entrance into Anyx Trine
The floor vidnofir is sitting on, there's an exit with a bridge that leads into mourn
^^
There's more than one exit?
yes
can you use new game + to go back and do your class quests again
yep
tower has 3 floors
Yeah ik
no class quests aren't included in ng+ afaik
I left from the top floor
You leave from the second floor? oof
Oh well at least I knocked some side quests out of the way
Man tho the Dravanian Highlands is hell
My OCD ass cannot allow myself to not do all the side quests first
WHY DOES EVERYONE HERE HAVE PROBLEMS THEY NEED ME TO SOLVE
@polar hound it takes me instant to the dialogue where it says i can join the dungeon, when i use your described way
yeah like I said, that will drag your current party into the duty
But i need a lvp 80 first😂
it's not PF, that's DF (Duty Finder) for when you have a group from PF (party finder)
as far as PF is concerned, just add the Undersized party tag, write "bonus first time please help" or whatnot, add the duty or w.e you're trying to do and recruit
Ahhh okay..sorry im so confused haha
Everyone start as a confused new player
Don't worry
lotta info in this 10yr+ old game..including1.0
Even without 1.X, we can probably write up a textbook on how to play the game
what can I expend poetics on if I haven't started Heavensward and I've already bought ironworks?
ironworks gear for a next planned job
If you manage to own all Ironworks
yes, I already have all, but Im at max poetics so I cant earn more
Then trade a few Ironworks to your GC for seals, then spend poetics the buy them again
This is off the top of my head
I can't think of anything better atm
or is there a way to get more than max 2000 poetics?
Nope
no 2000 is max
Once you hit cap, Anything you earn will be lost to the void
This applies to gils, crafting crystal, items, and the other currencies too btw
in the case of items, if you inventory is full when you receive one that needs a new slot, they will just puff and gone
Gil is capped at 999,999,999 (or 999.999.999 depending on your region)
thxs
In coil of bahamut 5, whats the best to do when Twintania uses divebomb? everyone at the edge or everyone at the middle? I've seen guides recommend everyone at edge but today we did at middle and we survived a few times
(not ignoring you, I dunno so Im not going to answer)
thxs anyway
there's usually the sweetspot at the right when you spawn in that people prefer
where the terrain goes lower?
you want to avoid it by not being in the middle ideally
because it can yeet you into the wall of death
is it possible for my friend on the server cerebrus transfer his character to spriggan?
!status spriggan
Its not congested so yeah can world transfer to it
he will not lose his items right? it will carry all to the new server
ya, all items on person/retainer will carry over
cool, thx
how to exit a CE?
@tight kettle pretty sure you can't unless you d/c cause clicking that button to enter a CE is basically saying "i'm here till we finish"
probably to discourage people dropping out of a full lobby
can use return to leave a ce so long the fight hasn't started or die and use return at last i was told it works
noted. thanks! was asking because Castrum pops up as soon as CE started xD
chocobo medica worth it?
nah, just go straight dps chocobo
is it true u can get this from any HVW dungeon?
the green on drop from fates too?
where can i get the bitter one?
i know the yellow red and blue drop place, but i dunno the green one
when I feed chocobo orion to unlock rank beyond 10, will I need to farm exp to get to next rank? Or it will unlock immediately?
Bitter does not drop from fates @outer plank @sterile ore
It will rank to 11 momo as in you can level it to 11
Lv60 dungeons are what you're after
Antitower and Arboretum nm have been consebsused as the faster ones
I'm thinking antitower is faster overall though
Not entirely sure
do I need to be at rank 11 to feed it another onion for rank 12?
Yes
You need one onion per level past 10
And you have to earn exp in between
Its not a quick process
is the bozja haircut account wide or character bound when used? can i transfer to another character if so?
man i wanna bring it to my alt on aether
but i dont see how thats possible unless
i char transfer
which i dont see happening
make the gil to buy it from the mb the 🤷♀️
oh, its mb sellable, yeah i guess that makes sense

guys is the only purpose of spiritbond is to extract materia @ 100%, rinse and repeat? no other features like bonus stats if maintained at 100?
does all gear that u equip become binded to u? (including crafters/gatherers)
or can they still be traded after
yes, that's all spiritbond is for. getting materia
only to get materia, also now u don't destroy the gear anymore like it was before
gear only binds to you if you do something that would earn exp while its equipped or use it for glamour
Ohh awesome, so just repeat infinitely lol
once its bound to you, it cannot be traded/sold on the marketboard
gotcha thank you
also i some gears have this odd looking circle on the upper right; others dont. whatsit mean?
it means its dyeable
so your chest/pants are not items that can be dyed
while the weapon/helm/gloves can be and are currently not dyed
ohhhhh ok thanks
Is there any way to know if you already have something in your glamour dresser without having to look insdie?
can right click >search
it'll bring up an item list and glamour dresser is one of the things it checks
though iirc if you're in a dungeon, it won't be able to check that

is there an option in game to appear offline?
iLv 490 crafted tools are still better than fully upgraded skysteel tools?
what are stone sky and sea options
Where do you unlock the ability to put the chocobo in a stable? Google keeps telling me to just buy one.... =.=
Nvm he found the quest lol
@frosty badger when melded, yes.
@gusty pasture what do you mean exactly? Are you trying to find the ones for your level?
where do ineed to click to change appearence
i just used the fantasia thing
feel like im just dumb xD
can you do alex savage with two level 80 ppl nowadays? im trying to farm gordian stuff for glamour
It says so when you use to fantasia @neon flower
@quaint flicker yes
Don’t think I can recall any floors that need more than two people
oh cool, i specifically want the level with the big legs robot
i think thats burden of father
we can no longer commence duty finder during cutscenes?
is there any drawback for me turning in my zodiac relic for the anima skip? like you can still buy the replicas right?
@leaden current I think only voiced cutscenes you get locked out
what does blacklisting someone do?
by denying them to do what.
Ummm I would assume see you in game / interact with you
Wouldn’t be able to queue with you etc
oh so it's also seeing you in game
To my knowledge I could be wrong though
blocks tells and can't join your own party finders
hi! does anyone know why when i try to harvest my crops, it says "You are not authorized to harvest crops." 
Is it on your own house plot or an fc/ friend’s plot
fc
would someone else be able to harvest it for me? or would i have to ask to be ranked higher
Someone with a higher rank with the ability to should be able to harvest for you :0
Hey so I'm a little bit confused as to how the expansion packs work. If I buy the newest one, will I automatically get all the previous ones as well?
So meaning I only have to purchase the newest one?
^
Ah, thanks!!
I don’t think the base game comes with it though
And which one is the newest one? ^^
shadowbringers 
Thank you! ❤️

@gusty pasture what do you mean exactly? Are you trying to find the ones for your level?
@obsidian patio sorry for the late reply, I wasn't paying attention lol.
When I unlock every part of Eden it always says Sky, Stone, and Sea Options have been updated. More of, I have no idea what that means
@gusty pasture sky , stone and sea is the thing you can use to practice fights
Stone Sky Sea, or SSS, is a way to “test” your damage in a fight with dummy that has a set amount of HP
^
basically a 3-minute parse
ahh
It’s set for certain fights like edens and extremes iirc
where can I access this? that's very useful
If you haven’t unlocked SSS before, the quest for it is in Idyllshire. Once you complete that you can unlock the SHB equivalent at the bottom area of Eulmore
You have to have it unlocked before for that "options updated" prompt to even appear
ohh alright I have never unlocked it
You might have missed it in the sea of
that is Idyllshire after base HW 😄
What's the ilvl of the new relic weapon step?
why is it that i cannot accept tradecraft leves? :c
500
500
Level 19 Alchemist
whats the name of the XP bonus jewellery from bozja?
Where you trying to accept leves from? Some NPCs just don't have them
Have you done the level 15 job quest?
Once you've done that, one of the sidequests in your starting city's adventurer's guild will be named, appropriately to the city, Leves of Bentbranch, Leves of Horizon, or Leves of Swiftperch. Do this quest, and you unlock guildleves in general, including all guildleves up to level 10 in (or just outside) all three cities. This will not, however, unlock guildleves for higher level camps.
Once you've finished your original Leves of ____ quest to unlock guildleves in general, you can then unlock guildleves for a specific camp by going to that camp on a combat job high enough level, and doing the Leves of (insert camp name here) quest, such as Leves of Quarrymill or Leves of Costa del Sol. This will unlock all guildleves related to that camp.```

oh : o
did the level 15 quest
ok so i need to check Gridania for levequests
:3
whats the macro command for targetting my current aimed target?
hey guys wc is harder to get -- Kirin or Firebird?
Uhhhh firebird is harder than Kirin
The mounts you need for Kirin are all pretty easy to get
Barely.
i see.. alright thanks
when u make macros can u make the macro wait like 2.47 for the base cooldown? or must it be 3 at minimum?
@untold sand only integer values. Only whole seconds.
This is one of many reasons why macros suck.
oh oki
They're intentionally very limited. You can't automate your rotation.

It says any lvl 60 dungeon
not any lvl 60+ dungeon
So lvl 67 not working is not a bug
Can anyone tell me the name of the XP bonus jewellery from bozja? thanks
Bozjan Earring
ta
someone have a good guide for new players? I mean square enix put so many features and i dont know where i cant find it or unlock it..
!faq newplayertips
That should cover plenty
holy...
well that doesnt help me..
What do you need help with?
that is correct for complete new players but i mean features where square unlock it with some patches like: bozja
There is indeed a lot to unlock so afaik there is no guide that covers it all
For Bozja you need to complete the Stormblood Alliance raids first
Which then allows you to start the Shadowbringers resistance weapon questline
Which will lead into Bozja
It all starts in Kugane
It depends on the duty, time of the day and your role.
Some duties are unpopular. If it's late or too early not many people will be online, and roles have certain demand.
