[slate arrow]

Bozja lockbox drop

you can also buy it off the marketboard for an absurd price

[leaden ginkgo]

That looks like it might be it

[open ember]

Yeah

That's a Bozja mount

Lv80

[ripe hound]

What colored memories does each HW region drops?

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok so just keep grinding till i get it from a dropbox?

[twilit arch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/720757046839869470/766002066774032444/t2jw0qeeg1t51.png @ripe hound

[ripe hound]

Thanks!

[twilit arch]

or get the gil to buy it from mb

[ripe hound]

Also yeah, or just grind Gil and buy it

Or Grind lockbox, then sell the loot and buy it

[open ember]

If you don't wanna spend millions of gil... Yes

[ripe hound]

Because Lockboxes do give some gil worthy loot

[wheat plume]

do I need to be next to a player to invite him to linkshell?

[open ember]

Are they in the same server as you

And they have to be online

You cannot add an offline player to a LS

And if you're adding a player from another server, pls be sure you have selected the Cross World Linkshell option

[wheat plume]

He is from another world, he's in my friend list, I was trying to add him from list in my world and in his, but I cant

How can I sett a linkshell to be crossworld?

[leaden ginkgo]

Gabriel alpha is the mount?

[open ember]

You have to go to the linkshell distributor

And select "cross world linkshell"

[twilit arch]

yes, Gabriel α Identification Key is the name of the item for the mount

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok

[wheat plume]

I can only create, rename and disband linkshjell, is crossworld linkshell something to unlock?

[open ember]

Hmm

The there's not an option for it

Are they online

When you tried to add them

[wheat plume]

I havent found a "crossworld linkshell option" yet, maybe is that?

[little swift]

You can create cwls from the social tab directly iirc

You don't necessarily have to be at a linkshell distributor

[wheat plume]

he's online, in his world, Im in mine, he is in my friend list, but I cant. And yesterday I had the option, I tried with another friend from my same world, I pressed Square at his name in friend list and there was the option to add to linkshell, but now it isnt

[open ember]

Oh I thought you did Channy

Welp I did it the long way

Also that's really werid

[naive torrent]

Should someone who doesnt normal play MMOs give them a shot with this game?

[wheat plume]

Oh, I found it, so its a different kind of linkshell in a different menu. I tough I could modify my normal linkshell to allow players from another world

[open ember]

@naive torrent I hated MMOs until I played this game

So I wouls say yes

[naive torrent]

i just started, got to first combat and.... im reconsidering my choice

[wheat plume]

Should someone who doesnt normal play MMOs give them a shot with this game?
@naive torrent Yeah, this is my first MMO, and Im linkng it, and liking FF helps

[naive torrent]

I dont like FF really. Any of them.

[faint flare]

Wellll

[agile laurel]

the combat starts slow

[faint flare]

Its heavily story driven

Sooo

[agile laurel]

2.5sec gcd feels bad with no off-GCD actions

[open ember]

Honestly you have to remember. It is a FF game

Before an MMO

Everything is locked behind content

[naive torrent]

its just click and press button 3 times

[open ember]

Like Story

[agile laurel]

2.5sec gcd feels bad with no off-GCD actions

everything feels crap at the start

it's just how it is

[open ember]

We've seen alot people complain about the story locked content

But its an FF game

[agile laurel]

can't exactly tell you to stick with it and it gets better, but it does

[open ember]

So you have to expect it

[naive torrent]

ok when does it get better

[open ember]

Heavnsward

Is the general conensus

[agile laurel]

look the dude doesn't care about story

this is about combat

[naive torrent]

i have no idea what that is

[glossy flare]

Around the time you get into the first expansion is what most people say

[open ember]

Oh

[wheat plume]

We've seen alot people complain about the story locked content
@open ember Can you do end-game contents without finishing the story in others MMO ?

[glossy flare]

(which is heavensward)

but

[open ember]

@wheat plume probably idk

[glossy flare]

To understand the story in Heavensward you gottay pay at least some attention in ARR

Sooo... yeah

[open ember]

I say combat gets better in Heavensward

[agile laurel]

this wasn't about story lmao

[open ember]

The dunegons and content are far better

[glossy flare]

oh well

[agile laurel]

Every class starts off with not many buttons. What did you pick?

[naive torrent]

how long to get there from the start. The "it gets better there" information tells me nothing.

[open ember]

I personally hate lv50 and below content

[glossy flare]

But the answer is kinda the same, most classes only really start feeling "good" in the 50s

[open ember]

So you might be the same

[agile laurel]

there is no 'when it gets better' answer

[wheat plume]

look the dude doesn't care about story
@agile laurel I too played the first 35 lvl skipping plot, and I enjoyed the game for 2 months, and it was my 1st MMO

[agile laurel]

it's subjective

[naive torrent]

lvl 50.... that sounds like it will take weeks

[agile laurel]

the best we can do is advise how your class plays in the later levels and you can see if it's a sunk cost or it does get better

[open ember]

You really do have to be patient with ff14

[glossy flare]

It doesn't take too long to get to 50 with your first job really

[naive torrent]

well then i wasted my time installing it

[open ember]

We did say it starts off slow. Regardless

[glossy flare]

You can probably do it in about one or 2 weeks

[faint flare]

You can get to 50 within a week

Story and dungeon xp is plentiful

[agile laurel]

honestly if you don't like FF or MMOs then you are probably onto a loser

[faint flare]

Plus preferred bonus

[agile laurel]

not much more I can say

[open ember]

I rushed ARR when it was still long. Its possible

I did it 4 days

[wheat plume]

you can skip sidequests and level up using roulettes, it can make you advance faster

[naive torrent]

How would the combat change if i picked different class. I picked lancer.

[faint flare]

They play differently

But all jobs start slow

Cause guess what

You have no skills

You lack 99% of your kit

Like any other mmo or rpg

[agile laurel]

Lancer becomes dragoon at later levels, since it's a melee dps it retains the combo actions system

[faint flare]

You dont have skills yet

[agile laurel]

but it has notably more kit

[naive torrent]

i just did the first combat encounter and i dont feel like waiting for others

[agile laurel]

yeah. you probably have 3 buttons now, drg at 80 has more like 3 bars of buttons

[glossy flare]

that's my dragoon bar, to prove a point

[agile laurel]

you could have a read of this to get a sense of context at least https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ua5uewclVNvIaVJ44eX3F3-y3QLKcn2z8R8d9Vvj5B0/edit

despite likely not understanding most of it

[naive torrent]

i just....how do people get into this. I dont get it.

[glossy flare]

patience

[open ember]

They have patience

[glossy flare]

But hey, not everything is for everyone

[agile laurel]

video games start slow

whoop

[open ember]

If you don't have that then this game isn't for you

[glossy flare]

It's fine to not like something

🤷

[agile laurel]

you have no actions cause you're at a very early level, and the story has to do worldbuilding

that's kinda how games of this type work

if it's not for you then it just isn't

no reason to drag yourself through it just cause other people have different tastes

[open ember]

We're just laying down the truth is all. If you don't like it, then hey man more power to you. We're not gonna stop you

[agile laurel]

like I can say it took me a couple of tries to get into the game

[naive torrent]

Thing is. I have played other mmos. For moths at least. But then sudenly my interest completely died.

[agile laurel]

first time I was putting it down after an hour cause i was legitimately too bored to carry on

[glossy flare]

I hated it when I first touched the game

[agile laurel]

but then one time I just decided to push on and it got better i guess

[naive torrent]

meaby it be better with friends, but i dont have those

[wheat plume]

i just....how do people get into this. I dont get it.
@naive torrent If you dont like how the game feels and you dont like FF at all, but you want to experience because a lot of people says its good, maybe you'll like FF16 when it gets released in a few years, Its produced by the same guy who produced FF14, and battle mechanics are made by the guy who did battle in Devil May Cry 5

[open ember]

Nah

Ff16 is very

Story driven

[agile laurel]

ff16 has one fucking trailer cmon lol

[open ember]

If they dont like ff games then ff16 is way off the mark

[agile laurel]

but yeah, end of the day, if you don't get on with MMOs then it is what it is

[naive torrent]

yeah no way man i cant even run....whatever number was the ff with noctis in it there is no way in hell ill have pc that could run that

[agile laurel]

15

[deep prism]

If you can run dungeons and stuff with others it does get fun even at lower levels
Or you could just purchase the thing that lets you insta level, unless you’re doing free trial

[open ember]

@agile laurel yeah but its a story game like every other ff game that isn't ff11 or ff14

[agile laurel]

yeah you don't wanna boost skip if you're not sure

definition of sunk cost

[deep prism]

for me I have almost zero experience with MMOs so I appreciated the slow leveling to get used to all the button mashing and rotations

[naive torrent]

buttonmashing im not a fan of sadly

[agile laurel]

yeah this game isn't buttonmashing for rotations

wow is

[open ember]

I wouls honestly just try out ff14 for a few days and if you don't like it then cool

[agile laurel]

I came from WoW and initially thought the combo based rotations were stupid and easy

[deep prism]

do you prefer like action/fighting games—yeah maybe those

[open ember]

The free trial goes up to lv60

[agile laurel]

And then i realised I have to think a LOT more

about every action

[naive torrent]

And then i realised I have to think a LOT more
@agile laurel you can say that about littelary 99,9% of the games

[deep prism]

(As a newb I panick mashed thru my first few dungeons until someone taught me to chill lolol)

[agile laurel]

idk, we can't tell you if you'll like the game

[naive torrent]

I can get a story driven game. I just want litte more engagement in between. Like not start off sitting in my chair pressing a button. I need just little more. Meaby make me dodge here and there.

[agile laurel]

start of game tends to be easy

it's all a pseudo tutorial

same applies for most things

[manic flare]

in the lord hien quest, are you supposed to deliver half of meat as hien?

am i supposed to get 3 more portions of meat

i dont want to be outdone by some random npc in the cutscenes, if possible

[open ember]

Shark just get maybe to like. Lv40 or 50 which really doesn't take long to get. They'll start to get more challenging as you level up

[glossy flare]

First of all, poor Hien is not some random NPC, he's at least a recurring NPC 😄

[naive torrent]

If not then ill either drop mmos or meaby give tera another shot.

[glossy flare]

Anyway, I don't remember exactly but the dialogue tells you what a good spot is supposed to look like

So if you choose wisely you'll win

[manic flare]

is it possible to redo the quest?

[obsidian patio]

@manic flare I can’t remember which spawn spots you want but I think you can beat him if you kill the spots with lots of monsters

[calm phoenix]

Is there seven extreme fights in Heavensward?

[obsidian patio]

Can’t redo MSQ

[nimble glacier]

Hey guys, i bought a mount on the Ffxiv and redeemed the code on mog station but when i logged out and logged back in on the game there is nothing on the mail.
Is this normal?

[glossy flare]

It takes some time

It's normal

You can go to the delivery moogle and send a request to maybe speed things up

[obsidian patio]

Yes @calm phoenix
Ravana
Bismarck
||Thordan||
Sephirot
||Nidhogg||
Sophia
Zurvan

[glossy flare]

But bottom line is that purchases from mog station are far from immediate delivery

[obsidian patio]

Account-wide items can usually take around an hour to get

Character-specific usually around 15 minutes for me

[manic flare]

@obsidian patio so if i already got 3 sacks of meat it's too late?

[obsidian patio]

If you can’t kill more spots then yeah

Again, I can’t remember if you can get more than three for that quest

[glossy flare]

You can

[obsidian patio]

I know for a later quest with a similar premise you can beat them

[glossy flare]

But losing or winning doesn't really matter afaik

[manic flare]

i know

[glossy flare]

Apart from some difference in dialogue

[manic flare]

but for immersion story purposes, i hate losing to a random npc

[glossy flare]

calling poor Hien random again smh

[manic flare]

fine lol

minor npc

not random

i have just been skipping the cutscenes

[oblique trellis]

What'd be the easiest way to get 2k mgp at the saucer?

[vital bolt]

Fashion show I think

[oblique trellis]

ooh, nm, had it saved up in old cacpot tickets 😄

[young fjord]

Fastest constant MGP you can farm is Tree cutting minigame

Chocovo and vermillion give more per lap/game but take longer time so not as efficient

[oblique trellis]

Tree cutting mini game? Not sure I've seen that

I've seen claw, basketball, hammer game, triad and mahjong

[agile laurel]

it's upstairs in the instanced area

[obsidian patio]

The mining/botany mini game are on the elevator that take you to chocobo racing

[agile laurel]

where verminion is

you can miss it easily ngl

[obsidian patio]

The elevator is near the Cactpot/TT people

[oblique trellis]

Can I get there without a racing Chocobo?

[twilit arch]

just talk to the attendant to take the elevator up

[oblique trellis]

Interesting, I'll go look

ooh that guy has an unfortunate name..I think I'm in the right spot

[leaden ginkgo]

So I have some old beast tribe currency, I think? I have coral armband, necklace, band, a titan mythrilshield, and kafre's tusk. I can't seem to find any way to turn them in

[open rivet]

the coral ones are for the beast tribe quests I think?

[leaden ginkgo]

They're all for beast tribe quests

But I have yet to receive any beast tribe quests requiring them

[open rivet]

yeah you turn them in w/ the specific quests

[leaden ginkgo]

Are these items still used or were they phased out?

[open rivet]

I've had the coral ones quite a few times when upping sahagin

so they're probs all still in use

[leaden ginkgo]

Hmm

Also, while each unique collectable vendor, such as Zhloe, will change their needed item, will the normal vendors ever change what items they take?

[twilit arch]

they're still used

but you have to have the specific daily for them

[leaden ginkgo]

You mean the collectable or beast tribe?

[twilit arch]

the beast tribe stuff

the custom delivery vendors won't change their stock

[leaden ginkgo]

Let me be more specific

If Zhloe wants Duskfall Moss, and I end up with an extra because satisfaction leveled up, will the normal collectable vendor ever change their stock to include duskfall moss?

Or is the list of what items they take static and separate from the unique turnins?

[raven sage]

They're separate

[twilit arch]

custom deliveries and collectables are two different sets of items, that are never going to mix

[leaden ginkgo]

I gotcha

Thanks

Also, at what point do you get ARR beast tribe currency?

[twilit arch]

at friendly

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahh

Cheers then

[halcyon grail]

So I've noticed on The Balance that theres a very definite "optimal" rotation. If I don't keep to this 100% of the time, am I a bad player?

[warped shore]

Best data center for n.y.

?

[rotund sable]

You should aim to keep your rotation up but small mistakes don't suddenly make you a terrible player

It's basically just aiming to do as much as you can

[halcyon grail]

Will I see a huge efficiency loss in, say, Extreme/Savage content?

[rotund sable]

Depends how often you mess up

Fights have mechanics that sometimes force you to adjust, it's trying to do as much damage as you can despite the fight trying to stop you tbh

[harsh moat]

@warped shore playing on crystal rn and my connection is constantly excellent, unless I have an internet issue on my end

[halcyon grail]

I can keep a rotation going most of the time. I don't always keep my buffs in time with my bursts perfectly, though.

[rotund sable]

There are some big things that will hugely affect output and others they are just kinda close

[warped shore]

@harsh moat oh cool, ty, so if I chose a different one to get into this discord does that matter

[twilit arch]

just gonna say all of the NA datacenters are in cali

[rotund sable]

It's something I'd aim to work towards but honestly the basics go further then you think, keep aiming to improve and you will

[twilit arch]

so it doesn't really matter which one you choose, they're all physically in the same location

[warped shore]

Ok cool, ty

[coarse tapir]

Hey so i got cursed by error i2501. Should i wait for square to email me again or should i try and re do the cd key

[gritty oracle]

Is there a decoration discord? I know the housing discord has a decor channel but that's only one :/

[harsh moat]

@warped shore nah, doesn't matter. This discord is for the entire game after all. Just saying that Crystal has great server connection for NY

[calm phoenix]

I was told about a month ago on this very channel that the Nidhogg fight was the last duty in the Heavensward story. So what is this Xelphatol it is asking me to do?

[warped shore]

@harsh moat perfect

[agile laurel]

they were wrong

last duty in HW main story possibly

idr when post starts properly

[calm phoenix]

Nidhogg is the patch story

And I was told that was the last one

[zinc orbit]

[twilit arch]

that

is the last trial msq

for HW

[coarse tapir]

I thought that was wall between ala mhigo and gridania

[twilit arch]

the last dungeon for HW is baelsar's wall, yes

[calm phoenix]

How many more dungeons until I get there if I am on the one that I mentioned?

[agile laurel]

2

wait no, 1 for msq

[twilit arch]

baelsar is the next dungeon after xel'phatol

[calm phoenix]

I assume that leads me into Stormblood area?

[agile laurel]

mhm

[twilit arch]

well...should make a minor correction in that nidhogg's technically not the last trial for hw

[calm phoenix]

say what?

[strange coral]

It's the last for the main HW story I would say, but there's HW patches after that to setup SB and ShB. So that could be what was meant by the last one in HW.

[agile laurel]

yeah, like xelphatol isn't the second to last dungeon in HW if you count non-MSQ stuff

which i didn't

[calm phoenix]

Are these optional?I will do them regardless, but I need to know where to set priorities

[strange coral]

There's a trial betwen Xelph and the final dungeon that's a repeat required for the MSQ. There's a story reason for doing it again though.

[agile laurel]

your msq isn't optional

carry on

[wispy parcel]

the way its structured it like this. X.1-X.3 continue and conclude the main plot of the xpac

[calm phoenix]

The other dungeons you meantioned

Not the MSQ ones

[wispy parcel]

X.4 and X.5 are set up for the next or future xpacs

[last rampart]

are the ARR/Nexus light bonus windows specific to each server? Toto-Rak is up for Behemoth for anyone interested.

[wispy parcel]

Non-MSQ ones are optional of course

[twilit arch]

no, light windows are same for everyone

[last rampart]

sweet, there ya go 🙂

[strange coral]

Refer to this HW link if you want to unlock the optional stuff in HW

[wispy parcel]

but there is plot in the raid storylines that directly is part of the MSQ

[strange coral]

!faq contentunlock

[zinc orbit]

Content Location FAQ

A Realm Reborn Content
Heavensward Content
Stormblood Content
Shadowbringers Content

[wispy parcel]

so it is highly recommended you do them

[calm phoenix]

So I was lied to a couple months ago when I was told that there was no side stuff in Heavensward required for later content

[strange coral]

Side stuff isn't required. It's optional.

[wispy parcel]

Oh there isnt, Im just saying its recommended you do them

cause they do tie into MSQ

[calm phoenix]

So it is not like the Crystal Tower series required for Shadowbringers?

[twilit arch]

no

[wispy parcel]

Nope

[coarse tapir]

Wait i heard the made CT mandatory

[wispy parcel]

They did yes

[vital bolt]

to start hw iirc

[calm phoenix]

Which is it???

[wispy parcel]

cause the CT raids are so pivitol to the plot of Shadowbringers they legit had to

[twilit arch]

Heavensward does not have anything that is like CT that is required for MSQ

[calm phoenix]

Back and forth between two different answers now here

[twilit arch]

Heavensward does not have anything that is like CT that is required for MSQ

[vital bolt]

CT isn't hw content, it's 2.1+

[strange coral]

The discussion was about stuff like that in HW. CT is mandatory, but that's ARR content. But HW's alliance raids aren't currently required for anything other than themselves.

[twilit arch]

all of the optional content in heavensward is optional

[coarse tapir]

CT is required for shb thats all

[wispy parcel]

Yea CT is ARR content

not HW

[calm phoenix]

I just realized CT meant Crystal Tower, my bad

[coarse tapir]

It’s fine

[oak goblet]

is there any process to make waiting for duty’s to quicker? almost an hour to get a party for a first time clear of nidhogg...

[wispy parcel]

Not much Im afraid. You could do other stuff while you wait but its ultimately that other players need to queue for it or get it in roulette

[oak goblet]

i see

thanks

[twilit arch]

can try enabling all languages in the duty finder settings to help speed it up, or ask in novice network for people to do with it

assuming you're in NN

[coarse tapir]

If you have a tank it can be quicker

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i become dark knight

[nova umbra]

what qualifies a house as a "designer home"?

[coarse tapir]

At the start of heavensward you can go dark knight

[leaden ginkgo]

oh

sad

i am going dark knight i guess

[agile laurel]

@nova umbra you putting the tag that says Designer Home on it

nothing more

[calm phoenix]

So I unlocked Firmament. How do I power level crafters? I was told it can be done even with level one crafters

[oblique trellis]

So, I skipped some dialog thinking the quest was just unlocking a hard mode Primal, but it wasn't.... so, was anything interesting said about Urth's Fount? Or doesn't really matter

[strange coral]

Crafters have to be level 20 to participate in Firmament. There's a guide pinned in the #doh-dol-lounge channel

[calm phoenix]

So I was lied to by someone on this channel back in August?

[narrow blade]

How do I use more hotbars?

[oblique trellis]

Go in to HUD Layout, and if they're purple right click on them

[narrow blade]

ok thanks

[oblique trellis]

Assuming you're on PC, if on Console, you have to turn on Cross Hotbars I believe

[hasty musk]

iirc the quests before Urth's Fount is basically just "Hey someone saw Odin, go find him", and then "hey we found Odin, go kill him"

[narrow blade]

PC

[ancient spoke]

I got a question. I'm new to the game, and want to play the free trial version. I'm wanting to play the game with a friend, but they spent the 20$ upfront to get the starter version on steam. I know there is abunch of stuff that I have to do before I can play with people, but if I do end up buying the full game, am I still able to play with people who have the steam version, even though I got it from the website?

[oblique trellis]

Then yeah, just right click on whatever purple ones you wanna use in HUD Layout

@hasty musk Ok thanks, I figured it'd just be Lord of Levin hard mode, but I was wrong 😄

[raven sage]

The game is fully cross platform

[ancient spoke]

ok ty

[quasi spire]

What are the prereqs of starting the shb relic quest?

[strange coral]

You need to do the SB alliance raids

[quasi spire]

ouch, that's gonna take a while just to queue for

what about HW and SB?

[strange coral]

It shouldn't be too bad, it's the weekend and there are still people doing it to catch up and unlock the relic stuff

[quasi spire]

my main problem is that I play somewhat off from most players due to a timezone offset compared to JPN

[strange coral]

HW and SB relic quests don't have any requirements other than MSQ progress iirc

[quasi spire]

cool, what are the major grinds for them?

[dreamy warren]

This is going to sound so dumb... I'm running the relic/atma weapon quests from ARR and I'm at the stage where I have to do the Trial of the Books. I'm waiting for certain FATEs to pop... how long do they normally take?

[strange coral]

HW relic, I haven't done, but I've heard mostly needs poetics. SB requires Eureka, which is instanced stuff similar to Bojza for ShB

[vocal cloak]

HW relic are great to spend capped tomestones when you don't know what to do with them

[little swift]

depends on how many fates are open on that area

[strange coral]

@dreamy warren They're totally random except for the ones that chain (such as finishing one fate to get it's follow up fate). Best you can do is clear out the other fates to make room for new ones to spawn.

[dreamy warren]

HW is farming a lot of tomestones.

[little swift]

and if there are pre-req fates

so clear some of them out to help the one you want spawn

[dreamy warren]

How rare is the nightmare whistle?

[twilit arch]

decently rare, its drop rate has never been increased

[dreamy warren]

Am I gonna be farming Ex's for like, weeks?

[strange coral]

It's just totally random. It took me months to get it. A person in my old FC got it on their second run.

It is more rare than the other whistles I would guess though. It didn't take me long to get those.

[dreamy warren]

Oh. I know what you mean. I got Titan's on my first run. I just spent 15 minutes farming Garuda for hers.

[tulip garnet]

Is there a weekly cap on how many daily beast tribes quests you can do? I've been stuck at 0 quests these past two days

[remote lintel]

you have a quest active from before

[fast hull]

Can you do eden gate without finishing ShB?

[remote lintel]

you cant have quests active the next day

no barber

[hasty musk]

no, you need to finish 5.0 before you can do eden

[tulip garnet]

Thank you, I found out I still had a quest in my journal. Now its at 12!

[calm phoenix]

Why have level 60 dungeons been super quick queue times? And 50/60/70 dungeons too which often results in a level 60 dungeon?

[outer plank]

@fast hull like most raids, they are locked behind completing the base/expansions they were introduced in before being allowed to do it. usually because its partially tied to the msq

[remote lintel]

because people are flooding lvl 60 dungeons im pretty sure

because of the update

[dreamy warren]

People are queueing 60s for the new resistance weapons

[calm phoenix]

I take it that they need to do them all?

[glossy flare]

Doesn't matter which one

[remote lintel]

idk i havent done it yet

[glossy flare]

Just any lvl 60 dungeon will do

But most people do Antitower since it's the fastest

[dreamy warren]

They gotta do 6 of any level 60 dungeon

[calm phoenix]

So I just happened to be doing 60 content for the first time at a good time?

[remote lintel]

yes

[drowsy grail]

hell yea

[scarlet belfry]

are skirmishes random spawns or can we force pop them?

[remote lintel]

they spawn from killing normal enemies iirc

[leaden ginkgo]

what do you guys suggest as the best way to recruit for a new FC? Anything better than posting here and just doing shouts in cities?

[strange coral]

Try the new community finder https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/community_finder/

[leaden ginkgo]

I was thinking that but I need to get my signatures first

I'm like VERY beginning

[dreamy warren]

Also serving some kind of niche and not trying to do it all.

Honestly, to set up my FC I just shouted in all the major hubs "I need 3 people to help sign for an FC. No gil investment, dont have to stay if you dont want to." I got 3 sigs in like 20 minutes.

[leaden ginkgo]

I might try that just to start it, then I'll try the community finder

hey at what level do you get paladin sword and shield? I see a level 64 with it? but I thought the next pld mission is lvl 65?

[strange coral]

I'm not sure what you mean. There are swords and shields besides the ones from the paladin quests

From dungeons, vendors, crafting, etc

[calm phoenix]

Is this weapon quest that requires level 60 dungeons long and grindy? I see that everybody want to rush though the dungeons as quickly as they can and I have seen a number of careless mistakes. I even had to raise a healer

[strange coral]

Yes, they have to do 6 dungeons per weapon I believe. Some players have multiple relics they want to upgrade.

[faint flare]

And they want as fast as possible

[pine phoenix]

do the glowing weapons farmed from extreme trial matts usually come later in the expansion? I noticed the ShB trials don't have them

[remote lintel]

yes

titania and the others probably won't even come until 6.0

[leaden ginkgo]

@strange coral it's the specific pld sword I think

and shield

[pine phoenix]

aw

[leaden ginkgo]

pretty sure it's given from quests for the job

[pine phoenix]

i really like the titania dancer weapon

[leaden ginkgo]

like the bluish sword and the gold cross shield

[pine phoenix]

was hoping to get a glowy one soon but I guess I'll just make sure I know the fight well by the time it drops

[calm phoenix]

How do I properly use spoiler tags? I am almost to Stormblood and I have a question about the story because I think it is leading me into something

[pine phoenix]

start and end what you want to spoiler with ||

[runic totem]

Where can I find the Dig action?

[remote lintel]

actions and traits > general i think?

[calm phoenix]

The key that \uses but with shift?

[pine phoenix]

yup

[runic totem]

Ah yeah Im dumb. Thanks

[remote lintel]

if youre on computer you can just highlight your text and click the eye icon

[pine phoenix]

should look like this

[strange coral]

@leaden ginkgo That sounds like maybe relics. Also the level 65 paladin quest doesn't give any equipment.

At 65, it could be the level 50 or level 60 relic

[calm phoenix]

I know a little bit of Shadowbringers stuff through my brother-in-law, but not much, I just finished Xelphatol and the cut scene talks about ||light annihilating shadow, color,and life|| I am aware that ||the Source was casted into everlasting day, and sin eaters roamed about|| Is this setting up for that story ahead?

[strange coral]

||Yes, it's ShB setup||

[glossy flare]

||not the source, the first||

[hasty musk]

^

[leaden ginkgo]

@strange coral how do I get them?

[glossy flare]

||the source is where we are||

[remote lintel]

shards will be explained

just do the story

[glossy flare]

Yeah

[remote lintel]

and shhh about shards cypher

[calm phoenix]

||I reversed the two||

[twilit arch]

I mean he's past that point if he's at xel'phatol when those are introduced

[strange coral]

Relics take a lot of work and steps. I'll just refer you to this guide: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Relic_Weapons

[glossy flare]

I kinda feel honored to warrant that edit but also confused

😄

[leaden ginkgo]

@strange coral thx

[remote lintel]

they introduce shards but they dont go that much into detail about the specific ones at that point

[twilit arch]

you've also already been to one

by that one

[remote lintel]

wym

[twilit arch]

world of darkness

[remote lintel]

ohh

so thats the ||13th?||

[twilit arch]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

@strange coral just one more question because the wiki doesn't say, I'm assuming when it says trade relic weapon for the second relic one for pld that would be I need to get the first one?

[remote lintel]

that makes sense

[leaden ginkgo]

or can I just skip getting the first

[remote lintel]

you dont need to get the first

[strange coral]

You don't need the ARR relic to get the HW relic if that's what you mean

[remote lintel]

its just an option to trade the zodiac for the first stage of anima

[leaden ginkgo]

@strange coral I see, is there a SB relic weapon as well?

[remote lintel]

theres one for every expac

[oblique trellis]

Do you always go to the same guy for it?

[strange coral]

In the guide I linked you, Zodiac is ARR, Anima is HW, Eurekan is SB, Resistance is ShB

[remote lintel]

@oblique trellis no

[leaden ginkgo]

thx

[oblique trellis]

alright, part 2 of that question - when should I start doing ATMAs? (I think that's what they're called)

[remote lintel]

atma is a stage of the ARR relic

[oblique trellis]

oh guess I should do those before I finish 2.5 then

[remote lintel]

no

you should do them at lvl 80 to save yourself the pain

[oblique trellis]

would I not have to sync to the fate anyway?

[remote lintel]

relics are more than just doing fates

[oblique trellis]

ATMAs are fates tho, from what I understand

[remote lintel]

yes thats one step out of eight

the other 7 arent just doing fates

[strange coral]

The ARR relic requires you to finish the entire relic chain to be able to use any of its stages as glamour. Which means doing a lot of dungeon runs in other stages.

[remote lintel]

^ and you can unsync them easily at 80

also atma isnt an acronym

[hasty musk]

wait you have to make all of them to glamour them? or just finish 1?

[oblique trellis]

heh, haven't talked to that dude in a while, couldn't remember

[leaden ginkgo]

are the zodiac weapons the best for paladins? like if you grind to zeta?

or is it just an aesthetic thing

[strange coral]

You have to finish one relic up to Zodiac Zeta

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo no theyre not

ironworks weapons are better than ARR relics

[strange coral]

Except for ShB's relic they are just for glamour

[leaden ginkgo]

hmm might go for it after I get my permamount

what's the recommended weapons for level 65?

[remote lintel]

shire or msq weapon

[leaden ginkgo]

do people usually od relics after they beat most of the msq?

[remote lintel]

they usually do them at 80

[leaden ginkgo]

ye seems smarter to do it then when you have more gil and the dungeons will be easier

anyways thanks again

[remote lintel]

you can farm poetics easier at 80

[fiery falcon]

does anyone know which face preset this is?

I don't see any markings

or is that something you can pay to change ingame?

[fresh lodge]

Thats a mod

[fiery falcon]

ohhh

that explains it

thanks!

[twilit arch]

the face aint a mod

cos im pretty sure its a seeker which does have a no marking face

[fresh lodge]

A mod was used to remove the markings

Hmm, are you sure?

[twilit arch]

what do you think most limsa thots use?

[faint flare]

[fresh lodge]

You think I pay attention the the inferior subrace?

[faint flare]

[twilit arch]

iirc its face 1

[fresh lodge]

Oh yeah

[strange coral]

It is. I'm looking at it in the character creator

[fresh lodge]

It is face 1

[leaden ginkgo]

What are the most and least profitable crafts on the market?

[fresh lodge]

Depends on the server and depends on the server

[twilit arch]

that's entirely dependent on your server/datacenter market

[leaden ginkgo]

is the aetir weapon not part of the zodiac chain of weapons?

it's a HW relic for pld

[twilit arch]

Zodiac is not HW, its ARR's relic chain

HW is the Anima relic weapon, which aettir is the second to final step.

[glossy flare]

the relic weapons are always per expansion, they are not connected

[leaden ginkgo]

I see, so follow the anima missions to get it?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[calm phoenix]

I need to search for a Kobold in Camp Overlook but this Kobold is nonexistent! I searched the entire orange circle and no Kobold! Does anybody know what the problem could be?

Found him. He was not there the last three times I went by

[spare plinth]

Is it just me or the theme song for the two expansions heavensward and shadowbringers sound similar

[queen yoke]

I dont entirely know how glamour works but if I for example want to use Aettir as a glamour but want to forge Aettir Lux does that mean I have need to forge two weapons? one for use and another one for glamour?

[faint flare]

Buy the replica after getting the lux

You cant redo relics on the same job

So you buy replicas

[queen yoke]

you buy those with gil?

[remote lintel]

@spare plinth the first few notes are the same iirc

[faint flare]

@calm phoenix check the very edges of the circle He's hidden well...first at the edge around the camp entrance by a roxi then like under the wooden stsird

[remote lintel]

he said he found it

@queen yoke yes iirc

[faint flare]

Replicas via gil at reconstruction node

[spare plinth]

and do expansions usually come every two years?

[faint flare]

For anima

Yes

[calm phoenix]

So basically they make me do Titan a second time in Heavensward?

[ashen pendant]

anyone know of any good items to put my grand company seals too? 😮 maybe to make gil or something i will need in the future

[tidal bloom]

Hello, I want to get the free trial for ffxiv but I don't know where I should get it. I need to decide between steam or the website. I understand that if you buy it on one platform you can't use the same account on the other. I am leaning towards getting it on Steam because I like to have all my games in the same place but I have seen numerous complaints about making an account. On steam it also shows that the only expansion is Shadowbringers but on the website there are three other expansions, can anyone please explain this for me?

I appreciate any help thank you.

[remote lintel]

@calm phoenix yes

@ashen pendant cordials, ventures, anima weapon mats

[calm phoenix]

Will it be all the primals?

[remote lintel]

no

@tidal bloom if you start the trial on windows you can upgrade to steam, but if you start the trial on steam you're LOCKED to steam

[tidal bloom]

oh ok

and why does steam have less expansions?

[remote lintel]

it doesnt

shadowbringers includes all expacs

[tidal bloom]

oh

thank you

so I can just start the free trial on the website?

[remote lintel]

yes

!faq freetrial

[zinc orbit]

Free Trial Limitations

Limitation details
Download

[tidal bloom]

thanks I really appreciate the help

[calm phoenix]

Why does it say "more than 30m" for Titan? I did not choose extreme. It told me to choose hard

[remote lintel]

people arent doing trial roulettes probably

[sharp meteor]

how do you get rid of all the player names in bozjan? its too much on my screen

[remote lintel]

hold X

[ashen pendant]

@remote lintel idk all the anima weapon mats lol

[rigid pecan]

Titan HM is necessary to get to HW, isn't it? I think I remember needing to clear it on my last character to progress

[sharp meteor]

is there a nameplate toggle?

[ashen pendant]

and is anima weapons relevent in shadowbringers?

[remote lintel]

character config @sharp meteor

people do relics for glamour

@rigid pecan you do titan hard 2 times iirc

[rigid pecan]

Ah. It's been over a year. I just remembered seeing I had to clear it to get to HW

[remote lintel]

you do it once pre HW and once post HW

[hasty musk]

is there a way to get into the eternal bonding chapel without going to a ceremony

[calm phoenix]

Will it count if I do it unsynced? Is it possible on level 70 with 60 moves and gear?

[remote lintel]

yes it does

[calm phoenix]

Is it possible at my condition?

[remote lintel]

@hasty musk i dont think so

[oblique trellis]

Do extreme Primals drop loot boxes? How do I farm a mount there?

[remote lintel]

yes it should be

they drop treasure coffers which may or may not contain a mount @oblique trellis

[oblique trellis]

How hard are they?

[remote lintel]

can be killed in 1 minute or less at 80

[obsidian patio]

ARR extremes can all easily be solo’d at 70 or above

[oblique trellis]

By DPS? Or would I have to tank

(not that I'm 70 yet)

[rigid pecan]

I healed them solo at 70

[sharp meteor]

does it matter what class i do castrum as?

[rigid pecan]

They're a cakewalk

[calm phoenix]

Well, I did not get very far unsynced

[boreal storm]

The only annoying thing is Titan knockback and Ifrit’s nails imo

[rigid pecan]

Hmmm I farmed them like crazy for the mounts.

Titan hard was the only annoying one to me synced

[obsidian patio]

@sharp meteor you can’t swap once you’re inside, so yes kinda

[calm phoenix]

Obviously I was lied to!! Titan Hard is NOT soloable at level 70 with level 60 gear and moves I can ONLY get him to 75%at the most

[remote lintel]

no you werent

you can do it with full scaevan

[queen yoke]

where do you guys see where and how to get the things you are interested for? like weapons and mounts?

[rigid pecan]

😦 I'm progging through the hards right now on this new character. Just started.

[remote lintel]

@queen yoke lodestone, gamerescape

[queen yoke]

I was checking the consolegameswiki but its not very well made it gets confusing so I was wondering what other people use

[remote lintel]

gamerescape is more up to date than consolegames

[tidal bloom]

Umm I just got this while downloading. Do I need to uninstall/reinstall the launcher?

[queen yoke]

alright

[remote lintel]

update internet explorer

[rigid pecan]

I use the Eorzean Database on lodestone. Never failed me

[remote lintel]

lodestone relies on player screenshots for their images so i dont really use it for armor

[rigid pecan]

The Eorzean Database for locations, not images

[runic totem]

Is there a way to increase GP regen?

[calm phoenix]

I failed six times now. Getting him to 75% was the best I can do! Obviously NOT possible, at least with summoner

[little swift]

its doable

[remote lintel]

if you can solo ARR EXs at 70 then you can definitely solo hards

you're probably just not doing your rotation right

[rigid pecan]

He's using Shire gear, I think.

[little swift]

the hards only have the issue of having to afk in the gaols

[calm phoenix]

Not if 75%is the best that I can get. It is not even half

[remote lintel]

then get better gear

[rigid pecan]

It's ilvl that matters. Not character level

[oblique trellis]

Can I create a separate chat window for Party that only appears during dungeons

[calm phoenix]

I have the shire gear, the best possible I can get for HW

[remote lintel]

then you're practically lvl 60 so no you can't solo it then

[soft flicker]

is 593 perception really not enough to gather a HQ lvl 63 item o.o.... i have basically up to date gear

[rigid pecan]

Yes. Your character level is less important than gear level. And your gear level is not sufficient

[calm phoenix]

Then why did you say that I could? Every time I asked, I specified level 60 gear and moves

[remote lintel]

because you said you were level 70 with lvl 60 moves first

just queue

or get someone else to unsync with you

[rigid pecan]

the level 60 moves should have been the tip-off I suppose.

[calm phoenix]

So there is a huge difference between level 60 gear and level 70 gear?

[rigid pecan]

BIG difference

[faint flare]

Its 130 ilvls

270 vs scaevan 400

[soft flicker]

can someone help me with gathering a tiny bit? i figured my gear was atleast sufficient enough to slowly get the HQ materials i need for my quest, but it's not. 0% chance 😦

[rigid pecan]

level?

[soft flicker]

im level 64, the quest is level 63, i need popoto, 3 hq

[rigid pecan]

You need more perception

[soft flicker]

yeah i have 593, i figured that would be enough O.O

[rigid pecan]

Do you have any materia?

[rigid narwhal]

omg

moltres

put up a party finder

[soft flicker]

i have one haha

[rigid narwhal]

ill do it for you

[soft flicker]

one +4

[rigid pecan]

Well then.

[faint flare]

Is it HQ gear

Or NQ

[soft flicker]

i could buy a new axe but it's 80k T_T

and i dont even know how long that axe would last

[rigid pecan]

You're getting your gear from your quests, I assume.

[soft flicker]

some of it yeah

[gaunt brook]

What does the little like upside down exclamation point mean?

[rigid narwhal]

it's a person

[remote lintel]

its a person

[soft flicker]

im pretty sure i'm up to date as far as the gear given by quests is conerned

but i could be wrong

[rigid pecan]

what's your character name. I want to see what you have on

[gaunt brook]

ahh ok

so its just to differentiate fc and non fc houses

got it

[soft flicker]

its purple plum

from exodus

[calm phoenix]

I feel that I would be laughed at if I used the party finder for a "hard" ARR trial.

[rigid narwhal]

just make it private and give me the number

[soft flicker]

i just got a new scyhe, not sure if it will be updated

scythe*

[rigid narwhal]

we'll just 2 man it, it's just so i can join your party

[rigid pecan]

ugh lodestone shows your ninja gear. What are you wearing

[faint flare]

But the thing

[calm phoenix]

How do I make it private? Are you on Primal Data Center?

[rigid narwhal]

yes i am

and when you click recruit members there's a check box

[soft flicker]

umm do you want me to read out to you each piece? or is there a better way haha

[calm phoenix]

I do not have a private option in the party finder

[rigid narwhal]

just put it up then

just end recruitment when i join

[remote lintel]

@soft flicker screenshot your gear?

[soft flicker]

if that helps

[faint flare]

NQ sucks

No wonder

Looks like accessories are garbage

[soft flicker]

its just gear ive gotten from quests and ishgard 😮

acccesories dont give me perception do they?

[calm phoenix]

I see it now. You said by the recruitment button. It is far from it

[sharp meteor]

if i'm 100% melee uptime on a boss, is brotherhood my only way to get chakra?

[faint flare]

No

Crits do

[calm phoenix]

Just put the code into the chat?

[rigid narwhal]

sure or pm

up to you

[rigid pecan]

You need better gear. Your avg ilvl sucks. You need Gyuki gear

[faint flare]

!trait Deep meditation

[zinc orbit]

**Deep Meditation** : lvl 62 MNK

Grants a 50% chance that a chakra will open upon dealing critical damage with a weaponskill.

Powered by XIVAPI

[faint flare]

@sharp meteor

That trait builds it

[rigid pecan]

At least a couple more pieces

[soft flicker]

is there a way to get that in a less expensive way? if i i bought it all from the market its gonnma be like 200k

[calm phoenix]

0643

[rigid pecan]

Levelling a second gatherer ideally

[faint flare]

And crafting yourself

[rigid pecan]

I level miner and botanist concurrently for that reason

[calm phoenix]

Enne Vi?

[soft flicker]

oh i havbe my miner around the same level

[rigid narwhal]

yes

[soft flicker]

my miner is...

61

and my bot 64

[rigid pecan]

Also, materia goes a long way with gathering and crafting. esp gathering.

[soft flicker]

okay thats good to know

[ripe hound]

Is there a list of all the lost action clusters?

[soft flicker]

i havent messed with materia at all so far

[rigid pecan]

You only need a crafter at minimum level to extract. It's worth it

[soft flicker]

think my highest level crafter is 61

so should be good i think

[rigid pecan]

Ohh yeah

You just need to start extracting your materia and melding it

[soft flicker]

i really enjoy crafting and gathering it's just sooo expensive

[rigid pecan]

expensive?

I see that all the time but I don't understand it

[faint flare]

Just make your own gear

[soft flicker]

well expensive for me at the moment, i dont even have a character to 80

[faint flare]

Its free

[rigid pecan]

I've never spent money on either

[signal rover]

For these things is it just random to get the card? I've played and won like 5+ times now and haven't gotten one.

Is it just unlucky?

[leaden ginkgo]

for collectables exchange, can i just mass craft a bunch of items and farm scrips? or is there a limit

[faint flare]

Cards are always rng

You can mass turn in scrips items

No limits

[leaden ginkgo]

wtff

[boreal storm]

How do you get scrips anyway?

[leaden ginkgo]

its so easy to make

[faint flare]

Collectibles

And custom deliveries

[leaden ginkgo]

u can go to this person

stormblood spoilers? i guess

collectable appraiser

every turn in gives like almost 3-5mill xp

and they're really cheap to make

its crazy

[boreal storm]

Okay it starts with HW, that explains things

[faint flare]

They are good if you're not doing ishgard

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah im already 70+ and i dont like farming in diadem lol

[limpid sorrel]

Hey guys, quick question. I recently subbed and got like 100 tickets that make TP'ing free in the game, I'm about to run out and was wondering where I could buy some more

[remote lintel]

you got the tickets from the RAF code

[twilit arch]

you can exchange them for the i90 AF set

[faint flare]

Aetheryte tickets can be brought with allied seals

[rigid pecan]

Throw it in the glamour dresser

[twilit arch]

so unless you want to trade them for seals or something can just toss the antique items

[rigid pecan]

Or drop it

[calm phoenix]

Why is it so hard to find my favorite monster in Outer La Noscea? Cornu the A Rank Hunt mob. I check periodically and do not see her. I check her common spawn points first because I know several then I scan all of Outer La Noscea next

[faint flare]

Cause she's a Arr hunt mob she's easy to kill

[calm phoenix]

Even at 2, 3 AM when there is hardly anybody on, still cannot find it

[raw solstice]

also a quick/easy kill for when they're up, even solo, at higher levels

[faint flare]

Their cooldown is like a few hours or something

[rigid narwhal]

6-8

[remote lintel]

A ranks respawn in 3.5 to 5 hours

[calm phoenix]

Is Cornu soloable at my level?

[rigid narwhal]

sorry

4-6

[remote lintel]

probably not

[faint flare]

60 gear no, 70 gear yes

[calm phoenix]

But she will not aggro me, right?

[remote lintel]

no she wont if youre 11 levels higher

[calm phoenix]

So, it is 11 levels for even A ranks?

[remote lintel]

yes

[potent lava]

is there a benefit to melding materia own your own like repairs as opposed to just using a melder npc

[raw solstice]

melding yourself is free

and you can overmeld, whereas an NPC cannot

[fast hull]

no

wait sorry that was for party

[oblique trellis]

On attempt 10, I'm not a fan of extreme leviathan 😄

[honest cedar]

for SCH, do pet orders matter?

[remote lintel]

no

only like, place

[honest cedar]

wym

[remote lintel]

to place your fairy

you dont need sic or whatever

[honest cedar]

oh gotcha ty

[faint flare]

Place and heel are needed

Heel to get it back after placing

[ember moth]

Haven't played in awhile worth to start new character? Or should I just try to pickup with my old one?

[hasty musk]

depends on how far you got

[remote lintel]

if you want to do the story again make a new char

[ember moth]

Well put It this way I used to be a hardcore raider, quit before anyone cleared baha turn 9 lol

Sooo... Lol

Used to be in a server first FC but got burnt out

[gusty storm]

what is cuff a cur

[remote lintel]

if you dont remember anything then start a new one

[gusty storm]

how come i am only getting 0

[ember moth]

Yeah I don't remember much. Bits and pieces. Lol

[remote lintel]

cuff a cur is a minigame

Will there be any kind of Halloween / gold saucer event soon? I resubbed October only for that reason lol

[oblique trellis]

There's an event starting on the 21st

not sure if it's a Halloween thing tho'

[remote lintel]

the halloween event was fused with the make it rain gold saucer event

[oblique trellis]

^that's the one

I don't suppose I can unlock Ascian masks for glamor?

[remote lintel]

not the ones you see no

like the red ones

[oblique trellis]

Nah I liked the black one I just saw 😄

[remote lintel]

i dont even remember what those look like but probably not

[oblique trellis]

idk who it was, reattuned to some beast crystal

or primal crystal or something

[remote lintel]

aetheryte

[oblique trellis]

yeah one of those, but a purple one

then an Ascian with a black mask appeared

[bronze narwhal]

Hello, does bard has aoe dot? Like aoe version of windbite and poison

Since theres an aoe attack which has bonus on enemy which has those statuses.

[twilit arch]

no, they don't

[raw solstice]

for shadowbite, it only matters for the DoTs on the primary target

so if you have both DoTs applied to one target and use shadowbite, the target and all enemies around it will take full damage

even if nothing else has DoTs on it

[bronze narwhal]

Oooooooh i didnt know that

Thank you for that

[hollow oriole]

I have a question regarding rotations

When my OGCDs are in cooldown, do I have to wait for all of them to be active again? Or spend them when they pop up?

[faint flare]

Use them on cooldown majority of the time

[raw solstice]

for the most part, you will generally use them on cooldown. Doing so, they'll generally align with various buffs and whatnot

[faint flare]

Holding leads to lost uses in fight

[dreamy warren]

I'm trying to complete the Trials of the Braves but I cant seem to figure out what's going on. It wants me to complete the Grand Company Levequest "One Big Problem Solved" but its not in the leve quest for any of the 3 companies. Do they rotate out?

[hollow oriole]

Ok

[faint flare]

Openers naturally align cooldowns to align with buffs when used on cooldown

Trying to hold a ogcd to fit into a raid buff for a 5% buff its a 100% dps lost, cause you're pretty much gonna lose a use of the ability

Unless its the last use you'll ever get out of it

[rotund sable]

Yeah

An extra use is always more valuable than aligning with buffs, though you can do both with big brain planning

[hollow oriole]

I see

[proper shore]

So i just buy the game , and they told me " Your key is being processed and will be available soon or when the product is released. " is it normal ?

[faint flare]

Yes, cause its making sure the payment actually goes through

[green slate]

so i am in the middle of doing the shadowbringer's msq (at like lvl 73 msq), and my main class is pretty close to hitting lvl 80. for the sake of not wasting msq exp, should i level up another class? i got another class at lvl 70 but idk how hard it is to level up a dps class

[proper shore]

and do u know how many times it takes ?

[calm phoenix]

I cannot channel aether into Alisaie's blade! "invalid target" does anybody know whatthe problem could be?

[faint flare]

There should be a intractable thing infront of her

[calm phoenix]

there is not

[faint flare]

That says Aetherical blade or something

You have to wait briefly until its your own and the npcs tell you

But it spawns infront of her

[raven sage]

@dreamy warren If it isn't currently visible then you have to run another one until it switches to the one you want

[faint flare]

With Aetherical blade as a name

[dreamy warren]

Oof. Thanks @raven sage

[calm phoenix]

Nothing is still there and the dark side is 75%

[faint flare]

Screenshot

Because its there

It can blend in

Can be hard to see

[proper shore]

where do i have to use the " key " ?

[faint flare]

Mogstation

[calm phoenix]

always interrupted

[faint flare]

You kill them off/let the npcs take aggro then interact

[calm phoenix]

that dutyis impossible. It did not show up until it was ALMOST failed and then ALWAYS interrupted

[faint flare]

Its not

You're not paying attention

Which is a nasty trait you have

It spawns right infront of her

Then you kill off the ones on you to interact

Then rinse repeat

[calm phoenix]

NNow I have to do the ENTIRE THING ALL OVER AGAIN Iincluding the first part because the game took FOPEVER to spawn it

[faint flare]

It was there when the npcs said to interact with it

[calm phoenix]

no it was not

[faint flare]

Again. It can blend it

And be hard to see

But it spawns there

Pay attention

[calm phoenix]

the word did not show until way late

[faint flare]

The word is pay attention very closely

It spawns in that location

Every time

When they say its your turn

[oblique trellis]

When someone says to pop CDs... what am I doing for NIN (synced to 50)

[faint flare]

Usually that saying is towards the tank to use defensive cooldowns

[oblique trellis]

Ok thanks

On the subject of tanks, I read somewhere they should know every dungeon/etc... is there somewhere to learn to tank, in that case?

or just play them a bunch and do tank last

[rotund sable]

Only the are dungeons really have routes to know

[faint flare]

They dont nees to know it, dungeons are straight lines after arr

[rotund sable]

The rest are just corridor SIM 2020 edition

[oblique trellis]

It was also implied they should know everything about the bosses in that situation too

[faint flare]

Just rotate cooldowns

On trash and booses

[rotund sable]

Just the name of tankbusters, which is usually BIG SMASHY SMASH CRASH

[proper shore]

okay so i do the mogstation thing but , how do i download the game now ? xd

[rotund sable]

If they're casting something that sounds dangerous throw out your short cd on top of your rolling rotation of cds

It also helps to know what raidwides you should reprisal/aoe mitigate but it's not needed, just nice

[oblique trellis]

Is there an easier tank of the choices to learn on? (I have access up to Gunbreaker)

[hasty musk]

WAR or PLD, probably

[ember moth]

How much is 12m gil these days?

Is that like poor?

[rotund sable]

Warrior is usually considered the easiest

[oblique trellis]

Ok already started GLA so guess I'll just go down that line

[obsidian patio]

12m is good for anyone that doesn’t try to buy brand new stuff

[rotund sable]

Yeah, or a large house

Not that those are ever available

[ember moth]

Well I just logged in for the first time since like Jan 2014 and that's how much I have

I'm guessing I was rich back in the day lol

[pulsar sparrow]

Having trouble with the Ivalice raid quests; I have a complete journal entry for "Desire", no journal entry for "Annihiliation", the Lighthouse is available for me in the duty finder and I've completed a run of it but got no extra cutscenes. Anyone know what I should do / where to go?

Also I checked the airship and there's no one there except the normal npcs

[remote lintel]

[proper shore]

So i use the key on the stationmog , but now i can't figure out how to download the game , can someone help me ?

[warped seal]

Literally just google FFXIV download

[remote lintel]

which key

a steam or windows key

[proper shore]

windows

[fresh lodge]

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/

[proper shore]

i do it yen

[warped seal]

Google FFXIV download. Download the launcher. Put it in your SE account info. Wait 12 hours.

[woeful nacelle]

Are there essential lost actions for Castrum?

[proper shore]

okayn thx

[warped seal]

You should have whatever essense boosts your role's damage active.

[faint flare]

Not for castrum

Just take damage

Death is good for prisoner executioners

[proper shore]

it says 34 min of download time , is there something else to download after this ?

[faint flare]

If you're a healer

[woeful nacelle]

yeah cuz I tried it once and we failed

[remote lintel]

@proper shore no

[sharp meteor]

if castrum says battle underway, i can't join anymore?

[proper shore]

okay

great

thx a lot

[faint flare]

The biggest point of castrum is getting the splits right

And the lyon party not being pepega as fuck

[obsidian patio]

If it’s underway then you can’t join

[woeful nacelle]

We got to the end in castrum and the teleport team kept failing

[obsidian patio]

Yes, trick attack

[remote lintel]

almost all dps have burst phases

[warped seal]

Except BLM, whose entire existence is a burst phase

[remote lintel]

and bard which is basically just spam

[rotund sable]

Bard just cries because no procs

[remote lintel]

bard has tons of procs wym

[rotund sable]

No I mean the player didn't get any

[remote lintel]

oh

[faint flare]

Yes

[rotund sable]

Ye

[hollow oriole]

dodore belt (50/i55, then holy rainbow apron (54/i90)

[warped nest]

Very late to this, but waist doesn't carry as much stat

So if you keep up your tools, chest, and pants, (head, hand, foot are slightly behind in terms of stat increase, waist/accessories are the lowest) you should be with occasionally upgrading waist and accessories

[ripe hound]

How do you farm Bozjan lockboxes?

[wispy parcel]

Doing well in Bozja fates and Critical Engagements

[ripe hound]

kk

[wispy parcel]

You also get 99 if you win the 1v1 engagement

[ripe hound]

I see

[faint flare]

And you can trade excess field notes for one

[ember moth]

God I have two retainers and my char inventory is full and my like armory is full and I have no idea what any of this stuff is lol

[merry finch]

Can I get help joining a party? crystal + Brynhildor "heywink olin" & "avehri biglaedi"

would any mind joining me and my friend into a party?

[jade quartz]

20 second logout cooldown in overworld areas and other combat areas serves to make sure you can’t just log out in a dangerous area to escape being killed

Or something.

[obsidian patio]

@ancient rain not that sound specifically, no

[merry finch]

anyone have a sec to help me join a party with a friend?

[rigid pecan]

what server are you on?

[merry finch]

crystal + Brynhildor

[hasty musk]

hypothetically, how long would it take me to get 1500 wolf marks as someone who's never even touched pvp

[proud willow]

I can help, what character names?

[merry finch]

"heywink olin" & "avehri biglaedi"

[karmic dust]

Aether-Sargatanas just starting out if anyone wants to party up, currently level 5

[remote lintel]

@hasty musk like 1 frontline roulette

[hasty musk]

neat

I was expecting much more effort to be necessary

[remote lintel]

nah considering some pvp stuff costs like 18k marks

[boreal storm]

I pretty much just started pvp and I’m already close to 20k marks

[merry finch]

thank you!

[proud willow]

np!

[boreal storm]

Think I’m at 15-16k currently

[hasty musk]

is there anything important I would need to know about pvp as someone who's never done it before

[remote lintel]

no

[hasty musk]

cool cool

[remote lintel]

do what your alliance says

if you're on a mount and get heavy dismount

[hasty musk]

alright

[twilit arch]

basically follow your team

and try not to go off on your own

and yea be careful mounting infront of the enemy
