That level gear is complete overkill for where you are. Shire will be more than enough through the first half of SB.
I think level 70 crafted sets only go up to 380 as well.
Level 70 ilvl 400 is bought with tomestones but iirc they're unavailable until you clear the level 70 story quest called Stormblood.
warped nest
You only need to gear enough for the story
Don't worry about gearing to your character level
When you are so far ahead
raven sage
Being 80 helps but you can fight A ranks at 50,60, and 70+ as long as you're in a party and the respective A rank is of equal or lesser level than you
So like you shouldn't try to fight a level 70 A rank as a level 50 or something like that
leaden ginkgo
some guy is claiming you can make 360 tomestones every 20-30m?
raven sage
If you do the full train yeah
raven sage
It helps you get full credit to get the tomstones and hunt currency
Typically if the train is being properly organized then you should just be able to hop into someone's no problem
raven sage
I don't remember the exact number but that shouldn't be far off
It's about 40 per A rank if you get full credit
Oh excuse me 30 tomes per
round sierra
Hey so I made a few too many coerthan souvenirs and Zhloe won't accept them anymore since she wants Maelstrom stuff. What can I do with them?
calm phoenix
Can a retainer be a Red Mage or any of the other additional jobs unlocked later?
raven sage
You can either hold onto them until she wants them again or throw them out
brave fern
Ahh okay fe. I was wanting to do some unsynced stuff but i guess i'll just wait till later on
raven sage
Yes they can be any job you just have to level them to the level they start at first
calm phoenix
So level 50 for Red Mage?
raven sage
Yes
calm phoenix
So I assign them a different job then when they get to 50 switch to Red Mage?
warped nest
If you want it to go for a new job, you need to relevel them from Scratch
Yes, Moltres
No
Stay as a class
scarlet hinge
When I report a player what do I put for zone.
calm phoenix
Stay as class to 50, do not assign job until 50?
warped nest
Stay as class to 50, do not assign job until 50?
@calm phoenix yes
scarlet hinge
what if it was a dm?
warped nest
Once a retainer took up a Job, they can't become Another job
raven sage
Probably just put where you were at the time?
warped nest
Unless you reset them to a lvl 1 class again
And relevel
That's how I got my BLM retainer to change to DRK before Shadowbringers release
Took me a month or so to get her to lvl 70 DRK
leaden ginkgo
in order to unlock hail of the queen quest
for relic
u need to finish Dramatis Personae
?
little swift
you need to finish the entire quest chain
which starts with dramatis personae
the last quest is ||the lost city of angels||
jade quartz
Which involves completing three alliance raids
lone spruce
How do I get inside here?
I went all the way around, did I miss the entrance or something?
warped nest
Opening on wall either south or north end
lone spruce
I saw an opening but I couldn't jump up there?
jade quartz
Thereโs a very large entrance yeah
potent shale
Hey guys
I need help
I bought an apartment
but I accidently turn it into an FC house
How do you reverse it
twilit arch
what do you mean you made your apartment into a fc house...
glad comet
there will always be timed ones
twilit arch
yeah there's plenty of normal nodes for all level ranges
twilit arch
the gathering log indicates if an item is on a timed or empheral node with a little icon next to the item
if it doesn't have a little icon next to it, its a normal node
signal pumice
hm , i only see the name + whether there are any stars
twilit arch
the stars just indicate that the item is higher "difficultly" then similar lvl items
so it will have higher stat requirements
signal pumice
ah okay, can you pm me what the little icon is supposed to look like since i only see names? ;-;
tysm!
signal pumice
it'll be at the gathering log yes, with my list of items? ๐ฎ
obsidian patio
Yes
remote lintel
no?
leaden ginkgo
yeah definety not lmao
signal pumice
thank you all for the help, ill try and figure it out later >< i think maybe its because i didnt do my job quests haha
opaque pewter
Is The Measure of His Reach supposed to be Ala Mhigo's national anthem?
remote lintel
gyr abania
limber heron
What do you do when background music and crowd noises are fine, but all other sound effects are gone?
twilit arch
ala mhigo's, yes
since ala mhigo kind of is the city state located in the region of gyr abania
sounds like you may have turned off sound effects in the config menu
naive sapphire
Hello, I'm working to level my mining job atm and I've run across items that have a ??? in my gathering log. How do I discover or gather those items that are unknown to me?
signal pumice
why does my gc gathering manual expire so quickly? ;-;
i thought its like 17h but its gone within like... 30 mins for me :/
twilit arch
because it ends when you've gotten the max bonus points
!item Commercial Survival Manual
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
signal pumice
does that mean ill have to reuse again?
twilit arch
yes
twilit arch
yeah, its basically free bonus exp
signal pumice
ah alright ill just keep stacking more then ^^:;;
thank you so much samhain!
sorry for asking for many questions ;-; gathering is really overwhelming to me
twilit arch
thats what this channel is for ๐
signal pumice
how would you recommend levelling 60-80 for miners/botanists?
remote lintel
diadem for the lazy way
twilit arch
lazy way would be thru diadem if you've got restoration unlocked
leves if you've got allowances
collectables if you don't
with namazu (60-70) and qitari (70-80) thrown in
also weekly custom delivery if you're not already using those for crafters
gc turn ins are also good to do every day
leaden ginkgo
hey when it says 149 hours reset where you have currency, what does this mean? does it mean I can only farm 2000 allagan tomestones tops?
twilit arch
its for the weekly reset of allagan tomestone of allegory, which is lvl 80 tomestone
remote lintel
does castrum always give 26 coins?
why would SE do this to me and make the torso 28 coins 
twilit arch
from quick search, you can get 28 coins
how many prisoners you save after 2nd boss increases how many chests you can get
remote lintel

brazen summit
Hey, anybody have any tips on best way to make good gil?
rotund sable
limsa erp
jokes aside crafting and gathering are your best bets
maps aren't bad
you can get maps from doing wondrous tails
as well as gathering
leaden ginkgo
i am trying to do 24 man raid level 70 to unlock shadow bringer relic but its not even Queuing us
taking forever
any soultion or a skip ?
rotund sable
it's what, 2am server time? the queue's will be a bit dead at this time
if you're queuing as a tank as well that makes queues longer as only 3/24 are tanks
healers have the best queues due to being rare as hell, but a lot of people deliberately try and avoid getting into the 70 raids on their roulettes so doing it at this time might not yield the best results
kind eagle
eulmore had a marketboard right?
rotund sable
nah you have to go to the crystarium
kind eagle
ow
rotund sable
thankfully the gil cost to go there and back isnt too painful but yeah its a bit of a pain
twilit arch
have to unlock that via kai-shirr's custom deliveries tho
glad comet
yeah
deep herald
how do i reduce ping
opaque pewter
Keep your network clear.
deep herald
wym
rotund sable
sometimes using a VPN can help if your network is pepega and travels through a huge amount of points to connect to the server
its not going to fix any issues stemming from just a straight up bad connection, but it can fix routing issues, also dont use free VPN's as they're prone to either high latency or just straight up selling your data
rotund sable
i wouldnt know much about haste
afaik aetherpool upgrades just randomly pick one or the other
sometimes it tilts heavily in one way
hanks the most likely to know about what could work for ping reductions, @tender estuary what do you think?
also sorry for pinging you i just dont want to give bad advice
tender estuary
yeah you would use a VPN or something like wtfast, ping zapper etc. that optimizes route traffic
but that only works so well, if you are trying to play in another region regardless you will have latency issues
rotund sable
thanks hank
tender estuary
@rotund sable thanks Ike
rotund sable
wait what am i being thanked for
abstract pebble
Does releasing a retainer lose all the items that you stored with them?
manic flare
what do i do with clear demimateria?
white tapir
how do I resync my ps4 controller if the usb gets unplugged, I keep having to quit the game completely to fix it
raven sage
@manic flare Sell it
flat aspen
what is a good lost actions loadout for rdm or mch? preferably something that doesnt require super rare actions but still useful for castrum
zinc orbitBOT
manic flare
@raven sage on marketboard?
robust crow
@abstract pebble from what I recall, if you release a retainer they keep their stuff in their inventory
but you can't access their inventory
so if you want it back you have to repurchase the retainer sub
obsidian kite
where's the best place to find people to play with as a new player?
robust crow
or rwait, did you mean like firing the retainer
3n3rgy, if you got invited to your server's novice network
that's a pretty good place to find other new players
other than that, joining a free company (guild) is another good way
obsidian kite
how do u know if ur in a novice network?
robust crow
you probably aren't if you don't know
rotund sable
We have a recruitment channel in this discord to join a FC
robust crow
a mentor has to invite you, but just go to a major city and shout for a novice network invite
rotund sable
Note to join an FC you can't be free trial
robust crow
yeah go to limsa or uldah or something
and just shout for a novice network inv
you'll get one quick
obsidian kite
but i'll try what renaulte said
rotund sable
Then yeah looking in recruitment and finding an FC tends to be a good bet
obsidian kite
thanks for the help
rotund sable
nn can be good but it's a mixed bag, worth giving a shot for sure
robust crow
yeah
be wary of some of the advice that people give out in NN
the requirements to be a mentor are really lax
oblique trellis
can you add friends on other servers?
obsidian kite
I came from WoW so i have a a decent hold on mmo stuff i think
robust crow
if you see anyone saying "healers don't DPS" then ignore them, they're wrong
oblique trellis
I came from WoW too, but haven't played since WotLK
robust crow
it's different than how it is in WoW where healers pretty much only heal
obsidian kite
oh nice
raven sage
@manic flare No just at a vendor. Anything that says "exchangeable for gil" in the tooltip is just for some pocket change
obsidian kite
i stopped mid way through bfa, im a big FF fan so i wanted to try ff14 finally
oblique trellis
Do I have to go to their server to add them? They're not coming up in search
naive sapphire
Hello, I'm working to level my mining job atm and I've run across items that have a ??? in my gathering log. How do I discover or gather those items that are unknown to me?
robust crow
that one is from a node that only spawns at certain times
certain times being eorzea time, not real time
once you gather it once then it should update in your gathering log
naive sapphire
tyvm!
I've been trying to find any answer for a couple days now, google doesn't even know lol
oblique trellis
nope couldn't add them there either, must be on Trial
queen flame
Why is my character always smiling?
naive sapphire

raven sage
Are they currently online Five?
robust crow
you can friend request people on trial
raven sage
And Fireblanket that would just be because of the face you chose
robust crow
they just can't friend request you
queen flame
oh shit
halcyon glen
if I over-donate to the enclave it only counts the weekly cap, yes?
raven sage
yes
leaden ginkgo
From what ive heard dragoon is a pain to level
But near/at 80 it pops off
Meanwhile dancer starts at 60
robust crow
dragoon isn't any worse to level than the other melee
you just don't get your whole 5 part combo until 64
so you're stuck with half your combo up until then
leaden ginkgo
Which makes it a pain
lost grove
Where to farm for lvl 70 poetics?
robust crow
fun is subjective, but right now dancer is a very popular class
leaden ginkgo
Do roulette
robust crow
performance wise, dancers are slightly behind the rest of the DPS and a large part of their damage relies on how good your dance partner is
they are still very good
all DPS are very good
leaden ginkgo
70 gear (assuming you mean scaeven) uses the same poetics as 50 and 60 gear
lost grove
Ok and ye just wanted to know the fastest dg
analog gate
aetherochemical research facility
leaden ginkgo
That one
lone spruce
Just got larimar, is it useful for anything? I'm running out of inventory space
it sure is pretty though
lost grove
Ok
analog gate
do daily roulettes once, then spam highest levelling dungeon you can reach (not including level 60 and 70 ones)
alternatively if queue times are long use heaven on high
remote lintel
beast tribes
limber kindle
If I've maxed out on a beast tribe's reputation, I think I remember that it won't roll over to the next tier until the following day. Should I save my turn ins until then?
analog gate
!faq altlvlguide should still apply i think
zinc orbitBOT
hasty jasper
Thank you ultiga ๐
remote lintel
if you max out reputation then do the rank up quest
limber kindle
oh. I forgot that was a thing. Sorry, been a while since I've done them
fringe whale
Do I get better mats if I desynthesize items with materias or should I extract first
robust crow
pretty sure the materia don't affect the yield at all
only your desynth level does
the game warns you before you try to desynth something with materia in it so you have a chance to pull it back out
because you lose your materia if you desynth an item with it
but tbh i'm so lazy I usually just desynth it anyway
fringe whale
Am I meant to extract one by one or is there a way to mass extract?
remote lintel
one by one
fringe whale
I've been extracting and desynthing every 1-39 crafting/gathering pieces
It's a pain
robust crow
i would recommend not getting rid of your 1-49 crafting/gathering gear unless you are fully done with the low levels
because you'll reuse that gear on another crafter/gatherer
leaden ginkgo
do my eyes deceive me of does it say you need 60-75 umbrite for the reconditioned anima?
why is there a range?
ripe hound
Can I use the Nier Coins for anything else other than gear enchancement mats?
robust crow
you get either 3-6 stat ups
75 is the max possible you can spend to finish your anima
if you're lucky you'll spend less than that
akira, right now no
their only uses are to buy the upgrade mats
leaden ginkgo
@robust crow is it advised to spend as much as you can?
robust crow
you don't get to choose how much you spend
you just have to keep tossing umbrite at the weapon until it's finished
that includes crystal sand
remote lintel
the whole anima quest requires like 10k+ poetics
leaden ginkgo
do you need both crystal sand and umbrite?
glad comet
...good luck
robust crow
yep
glad comet
yes
remote lintel
yes
robust crow
crystal sand is best gained from scrips btw
you can trade the scrips for blue tokens, and the blue tokens for crystal sand
leaden ginkgo
where else can you get it?
glad comet
umbrite is only from poetics
robust crow
there's a myriad of things you can trade to get crystal sand
leaden ginkgo
I don't have any craftling leveled
remote lintel
look at the shopping list
robust crow
scrips are the most convenient
fast hull
is Scathe useful in anyway?
robust crow
but there's numerous things you can trade
remote lintel
@fast hull not really
robust crow
no scathe is bad
the BLM guide explicitly tells you it's better to clip swiftcast and use it on literally anything
leaden ginkgo
@remote lintel wiki says 5000 gc seals?
robust crow
than to use scathe
remote lintel
the whole anima quest requires like 10k+ poetics
leaden ginkgo
been doing aetherial chemical factory over and over lel
robust crow
if you get a crafter to 55
you can start custom deliveries
that's worth like 2.2k scrips every week
for less than 20 minutes worth of work
not poetics
sorry
leaden ginkgo
I don't know anything about crafting lol, is it worth it to level up for the anima finish?
robust crow
i meant scrips
remote lintel
you can get amber vilekin to trade
robust crow
that works too, amber
remote lintel
it gives you a lot but is rng
robust crow
whether it's worth it or not is subjective
leaden ginkgo
@remote lintel where? the wiki doesn't say anything
robust crow
because the only real reason to get the anima weapon is glam
leaden ginkgo
it just says 5000 gcs
robust crow
unless you really really care about being strong at level 60
robust crow
then yeah whether it's worth it or not depends on how much you want that glam
remote lintel
leaden ginkgo
I'm fine grinding for a few days
remote lintel
what do you mean "where"
robust crow
and it's also easy to get numerous relics over time
leaden ginkgo
how do you get this amber stuff and where do I spend it on the items needed?
robust crow
since you can just toss your excess poetics later on toward further anima weapons
remote lintel
watch video
leaden ginkgo
thx
robust crow
i've tossed excess poetics at anima stuff for months
when I wanted the BLM weapon I literally did the whole quest start to finish in under a day
buoyant sorrel
Is it okay to ask to form a party to help get through a dungeon? I'm not sure if there's a way to go about it
robust crow
because I had all the shit already
buoyant sorrel
I mean
robust crow
amoretta, you don't need to ask for help to form a party for most content
the duty finder auto-matches you
although you will likely have faster queue times if you play/have a healer
or tank
buoyant sorrel
The duty finder is giving me a wait time of 30 min ๐ I'm a white mage and can't do this dungeon on my own
remote lintel
which dungeon
buoyant sorrel
The Aetherochemical Research Facility, I'm NZ in the EU servers and most of my guild mates are asleep
robust crow
that's a level cap dungeon isn't it
remote lintel
yes
robust crow
yeah it wouldn't be part of leveling roulette in that case
which would explain the longer queue time
remote lintel
its part of 50/60/70 tho
buoyant sorrel
I'm going through heavensward right now
leaden ginkgo
can you just keep grinding treasure per levequest everytime you abandon it?
so it rolls dice again?
robust crow
no one does 50/60/70 tho 
leaden ginkgo
or do you have tyo od another opne
remote lintel
you're queueing at really off hours
robust crow
*most don't
remote lintel
so thats why
rugged crypt
Anyone here able to answer a question about DRK?
remote lintel
yes
lost grove
How much poetics will I need for a full lvl 70 set
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo you cancel it and redo it
buoyant sorrel
Lol I'll do some side stuff then
robust crow
give or take 500
rugged crypt
Been a while since I played, should I be using The Blackest Night really often?
robust crow
amoretta, try asking your local novice network for people to queue
lost grove
Ok I'm at around 1.1k rn
robust crow
sometimes people will volunteer and help
remote lintel
@rugged crypt when theres a tankbuster on you or the main tank
buoyant sorrel
Novice network?
remote lintel
or if you can't get out of an aoe fast enough
robust crow
it's like a server wide chat channel
rugged crypt
Okay cool, cheers
robust crow
a mentor has to invite you, but if you just /shout in a major city you'll get an invite in no time
buoyant sorrel
Oh cool I'll try it thank you!
leaden ginkgo
@remote lintel the treasure respawns?
remote lintel
its rng whether it spawns or not
leaden ginkgo

Is there somewhere that shows what drops which fragments in bozja?
obsidian kite
dang no luck on finding a newcomer network
obsidian kite
do u have to be a certain level to access free company?
robust crow
no you just need to not be on free trial
obsidian kite
uhhh i shouldnt be on free trial though, i bought the game and i have a subscription
robust crow
then you just need to apply to one or ask around for one
obsidian kite
ok i'll go to limsa
halcyon glen
We do have the Community Search tool now!
some FCs have posts there, apparently
Mine on Sarg doesn't for some reason
lunar raptor
I have a question are there any discords that run the castrum from Bozja?
halcyon glen
Yes!
lunar raptor
Could I have a link plz?
halcyon glen
Sent in DM. The bot tends to get mad when we link discords in here if memory serves.
lunar raptor
Ok thanks!
little swift
bot doesn't get mad
halcyon glen
oh it doesn't? My baaaad.
little swift
we just have commands for some of the discords
queen flame
Can I use buy stuff with poetics in the main cities?
halcyon glen
Upon completion of the requisite main scenario quests, yes!
queen flame
Where are the vendors?
halcyon glen
Level 50 Poetics gear is from a special vendor, marked with a blue shop icon and near the aetherite, in Limsa, Ul'Dah, or Gridania
You'll need to have completed the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon" to access those vendors
remote lintel
they're in the main city for each expac
halcyon glen
Similarly, the level 60 Poetics gear can be purchased in Ishgard upon completion of "Heavensward" and the 70 stuff is in Kugane after completing "Stormblood"
queen flame
Oh okay, I haven't completed the Ultimate Weapon quest yet.
So I guess I have to go to Mor Dahan
halcyon glen
Nope
robust crow
ultimate weapon was praetorium, was it not?
mossy current
Not the one in Mor Dhona
robust crow
did you just finish castrum and not prae
lol
cuz castrum is the first place you get poetics from
mossy current
As soon as you get to Mor Dhona you can buy Poetics gear
queen flame
The one in Mor Dhona works
mossy current
Similar to Idyllshire
halcyon glen
Well, no, Wanderer's Palace gives poes and has no MSQ wall
halcyon glen
buttttt
Either way, you lack the poes to buy the stuff you actually want (read: a weapon) until you've completed Castrum and Prae
zinc orbitBOT
hazy shadow
Quick question regarding the rain: You still need to turn in facet gear to get eulmoran certificates, yes?
mossy current
A different type of certificate, for outdated gear in terms of ilevel
Neo Ishgardian is the more relevant ones
hazy shadow
Do you still go to hillicen?
mossy current
Same person yes, it's a different option under her
hazy shadow
Hm. Ok. I'll look I didn't see an option for neo.
atomic gulch
is there a point in branching out to people in other servers on the same DC?
oblique trellis
Pet Hotbar not showin up with Chocobo out, anyone know why? (it's turned on in HUD layout)
atomic gulch
everyone ive met is on an adjacent server and not the one im on );
mossy current
Pets are stuff like carbuncles, egis and fairies
oblique trellis
it used to pop up, when I originally used the chocobo, I thought
maybe not shrug been about 50 levels+
mossy current
You can find chocobo actions under a tab in actions and trait menu
Being social in other servers may give advantages to marketboard and hunt trains
oblique trellis
Yeah but I don't remember needing to slot them on my own
hazy shadow
Another question: I need to exchange the neo for the certs, and also have the amount of rain correct? In this case x2 for accessories?
mossy current
Yes
silk summit
So I saw at the calamity salvager that you can trade in base shire and scaeven gear to get augmented with a lower tomestone cost, is there anywhere to do that with ironworks?
twilit arch
unfortunately no
silk summit
Rip
hazy shadow
Thank you, Aza!
spare plinth
i unlocked ishgard restoration, but i dunno where to start
hazy shadow
That's what I hoped. Enough to farm best in slot maybe?
mossy current
Yes!
hazy shadow
Yay!! It is definitely going to be a grind to get the tokens though, phew
mossy current
You can go to the firmament from the NPC near the brume exit into the pillars @spare plinth
Just don't go into the pillars haha
The npc to the right of the zone loading area
lone spruce
How the hell do I get to the objective? All I've seen are walls this entire time
lone spruce
I've gone up and down the perimeter of this thing and I can't seem to find a way through (and dodging these Garleans at the same time is a mighty pain)
mossy current
You can access the Diadem from the NPC NW of the the main area, make sure you've done the thinner sidequest markers in the area 
but without the curve
mossy current
iirc this is it?
lone spruce
I already tried going through the castrum
mossy current
It's either that route or even more south
spare plinth
@mossy current the sidequest where you learn about the restoration?
mossy current
Yes they bring you through the NPCs, their location and what they do
The normal thing unlocks a custom Deliveries person too if you're into that
spare plinth
but after that i can unlock the diadem thing for gathering?
polar hound
timestamped to where they ran
mossy current
Yes
inner jackal
Can someone explain collectables to me like I'm 5?
mossy current
Crafting or Gathering
inner jackal
Gathering
mossy current
So you can go out and find certain items that you can turn on the collectable gathering action on for
And start gathering it
lone spruce
Can you get obsidian carbuncle? Or is that just an Alphinaud thing?
mossy current
Using specific actions to increase quality you can try and get it higher and higher before durability runs out
Alphi only
mossy current
Before durability runs out completely, gather it!
lone spruce
I slay gods
remote lintel
well u aint alphinaud
lone spruce
Yet this random pampered teenager gets his own special carbuncle? Bro
mossy current
Fishing is a turn it on and wait sort of thing
Alphi is a young prodigy
Smartest kid
remote lintel
only he knows the secrets of the obsidian carbuncle
lone spruce
I mean isnโt WoL like the prodigy of prodigies lmao
robust crow
i mean
lone spruce
Come on at least let us glam it
remote lintel
we're not big brain enough
robust crow
i don't think anyone else has evoked both ||bahamut and phoenix||
i think wol is special enough
mossy current
WoL has the mind of a hired sword
mossy current
Egi Glam perhaps
inner jackal
So I've got a bunch of Dated Radz-at-Han coins that I'm collectable-gathering. I don't know their use atm though.
lone spruce
Iโm like...low key salty lmao
mossy current
Oh
lone spruce
This hurts my pride
mossy current
Those are for custom Deliveries
inner jackal
Never heard of them
twilit arch
just a reminder, this isn't a channel to vent in
mossy current
Custom Delivery is a system in which certain NPCs ask for a certain collectable and they give more scrips and EXP in return
twilit arch
its basically a weekly collectable turn in
inner jackal
Oh. So I should collect them for these deliveries, and not just because it's something to collect?
mossy current
The first one can be unlocked in Idyllshire, with the Hard Place
twilit arch
pretty much the only reason to gather them is if you need them for that custom delivery for the week
they have no other use than for zhloe turn ins
mossy current
It changes every week
And you can only turn in 6 per week per NPC
With a total of 12 turn ins
inner jackal
Oh, so it's beast tribe quests, but not linked to a beast tribe
quiet cipher
what do the beast tribe quests do anyways?
mossy current
They offer EXP, Beast tribe currency, they can offer Poetics/allegory and sometimes interesting/funny story
twilit arch
mounts
mossy current
Various mounts can be gained as well
twilit arch
minions, crafting materials
quiet cipher
ahh
mossy current
Mounts are a big draw to many
zinc orbitBOT
drowsy lichen
can anyone in Diabolos invite me to the Novice Network chat? if so, please DM me~ thank you!
ripe hound
Is the tomestone gained per time spent significantly worse for Daily Roulettes compared to hunting?
little swift
If they haven't removed the 2 extra Lakeland instances it's 160 tomes in about 30 minutes
ripe hound
Because I really really want to run dungeons and don't want to hunt anymore
little swift
You have 7 days to cap
ripe hound
Yeah
ripe hound

How long?
Syrcus Tower pops often, though it is morning-time in Europe so fewer people are online

So I'm a free trial player and I would like to play with my friend who is also free trial. I understand we can't make parties, and I don't want to be asking random people to make a party for my friend and me. What are my options to get us into a party with each other?

@ripe turtle asking someone to invite you both and then pass lead is the only option.

Was wondering the best way to get commendations. Iโm trying to get to mentor status (have a long way to go) and I mainly heal.
jade quartz
Each โturnโ is a separate instance. These are the gameโs raids. We donโt use the term dungeon to refer to them.
robust crow
number 1 rule of getting commendations is not to ask for them
sour ruin
Ancient wisdom right there
lapis bolt
Lol no I donโt do that
jade quartz
Commendations are arbitrary. People can choose whatever criteria they like.
robust crow
just play your class well, do dps while healing, be friendly
jade quartz
Do your job well, contribute to dungeon runs being super fast, say hello
lapis bolt
I more-so was asking if itโs easier in dungeons or raids. That sort of thing.
robust crow
i mean
sour ruin
dungeons in 24 man its a wild rush nobody thinks about anyone until someone messes up
lapis bolt
Thank you. I was just trying to find the most time-effective way to get them.
oblique trellis
When I lose armor durability, do I take more damage? Or just means it's closer to breaking
robust crow
your armor stops giving you stats when it fully breaks
oblique trellis
but 58% still gives 100% stats
plain python
I think tank and healer get rec often. For tank, healer is always the top of the list. For DPS and healer, tank is the top. Of course they can just choose the last DPS cuz it is closest to the OK button XD
jade quartz
Yep

how to augment neo ishgardian ring

go to eulmore and find the exchange npc and click HQ turn in for certificate of novelty
assuming you have a HQ ring
hillicen is the name of the npc

is it just me, or singing cluster become zero-gil item? I remember seeing them sellable and they are a way to convert poetic to gil directly.

@lapis bolt it just comes naturally
tidal yarrow
antiquated aoidos tights are from mog?
quiet cipher
tanking or healing is your best bet though
twilit arch
no, aoidos tights are bard lvl 60 job gear
tidal yarrow
they're cute
quiet cipher
being helpful to new players also helps
twilit arch
its given from the lv 60 job quest, or from the centurio vendors in ishgard if you toss em

oh you must trade neo ishgardian stuff for certificate of novelty?

is there anything similar non bard?

there's no world maint scheduled @scarlet hinge

@kind eagle yes

don't call people noob and try to talk a little. Being a cute Lalafell and spam emote also help ๐

holiday events don't require a maint to start

they already put the event in the game and they just flip a switch to activate it

the only way to get old event-only outfit are from the store? You cannot even get them when the same event returns?

correct

they usually put old event gear on the mog

generally the only things that come back are consumables like fireworks

What items will be discounted ?
remote lintel
dont know yet
jade quartz
Past Halloween items.
twilit arch
Previous items related to All Saintsโ Wake (certain restrictions apply)
jade quartz
Arbitrarily excluding some of them
scarlet hinge
will there be a npc for the event items
twilit arch
i would assume the restrictions are the newly added ones
jade quartz
For the new ones yes naturally

manic schooner
hey guys is it true that there's a new meta where u can build a ninja as tank?
robust crow
...no
can't tell if you're joking but
tank probably didn't have tank stance on or something
or ninja is pulling things by accident
manic schooner
i see... damn... i was srs and just wud like to confirm with u guys if its legit posible
thanks
robust crow
in addition to that
jobs in ff14 have very little customization
everyone plays their class 90% the same way
and if you don't play that way you're probably playing suboptimal
part of that is due to having no options in class customization, not like wow with talents or path of exile with build paths
none of that in ff14
karmic niche
Kinda suck but is good for casual players
Also the dev have easier time to balance the classes
robust crow
it's like
either you do the same rotation as every other dragoon in the world
or you be okay with doing less damage than every other dragoon in the world
leaden ginkgo
you can tank on nin in castrum

you are assured 90 days with road to 70, which starts from the time the character is created

Hi folks, returning player here, iv been using the squadron system to run dungeons, randomly have to walk away from the keyboard to deal with our 1 year old so while I know it's far from optimal it suits my needs during the day, I know we have trusts for shadowbringers content an squadron for ARR an HW content, is there no version on this for stormblood dungeons or am I just missing something?
twilit arch
nope, currently nothing for stormblood dungeons
manic schooner
hey guys i see multiple DRK skills which says unaspected damage, does this mean it ignores defense? making it too OP"
faint flare
No
robust crow
unaspected just means it has no innate element
faint flare
Unaspectes means its magic damage
robust crow
that as well
faint flare
Its not super relevant
manic schooner
ohhh magic dmg.. so it takes into account enemys magic defense instead of physical def?
faint flare
That doesn't exist
Outside of like Eureka and Bojza
It slightly tiny matters for stuff like Brotherhood and Embolden
robust crow
i was about to say
faint flare
Which only buff physical damage
faint flare
Otherwise it doesn't really matter
manic schooner
i mean like if u go over to the character stats, we hvave both Defense (physical) and Magic Defense, i believe since unaspected is magical as u said, it goes against the latter
obsidian patio
Element itself also only matters for Black Mageโs rotation, with no monsters having specific elemental resistances
faint flare
Enemies don't have that anymore really
At least normal ones outside of Eureka and Bojza
manic schooner
i see.. and here i am getting too excited after seeing too many aspected dmg from DRK lol, ddnt know it was utterly useless outside those xD
anywaythanks!

You literally just go about your day and normal rotation

do you get less exp from mobs/bosses/clear if you queue a dungeon with a high level friend?

No?

or is the vault just trash for exp
glossy flare

glossy flare
well yes
thorn thicket
Then no
thorn thicket
Vault is an annoying dungeon altogether
simple pine
the vault is level 57
thorn thicket
Probably 57 or 58
thorn thicket
Thats average
thorn thicket
Without buffs it takes 2-3 runs per level
glossy flare
but do note that leveling in general will slow down a bit the higher you get
simple pine
isnt it only like 3 runs of hoh to level at 61?
glossy flare
I never did hoh for leveling purposes but if it is anything like potd it should still be slower than dungeon spam
Honestly it's not too bad, 75% of a level per run is still a shit ton of xp if you think about it
leaden ginkgo
if you get the golden saucer arcade game furnishings do u earn mgp from playing them at home?
queen flame
Not even one mount on sale at golden saucy
simple pine
i guess it's just the difference between leveling from 53-57 and now that got me, but I'll just power through ๐
glossy flare
Yeah, as I said it does slow down the higher you get
But personally I never really mind the dungeon spam, you still get the next dungeon before the old one becomes tedious imho
(also I like vault, sue me)
quaint flicker
Is it the campaign attendant?
twilit arch
the campaign attendant
thorn thicket
The items donโt go on sale at the Gold Saucer. The MGP income increases for Make It Rain

is the seasonal shop for this event

Ahh kk
glossy flare
yes, the attendant
leaden ginkgo
can those games award you MGP for playing?

Also is the emote the only reward for the event quest?

Okey

Hi, is it true that MCH is one of the easiest class to learn and has the least amount of skills/buttons?
thorn thicket
I mean, the actually rewards from the event quests typically arenโt much
glossy flare
I mean, "easy" is a subjective term
But yes it has the fewest amount of skills and is rather straight forward
Still high apm though
thorn thicket
Can confirm MCH has the least skill buttons
And luckily they removed RNG from itโs main rotation
glossy flare
Yeah, it is the only physical ranged without the heavy reliance on rng procs
thorn thicket
It could stand to have one or two more things to manage though

Haukke Manor?
twilit arch
you talk to the roe npc near the campaign attendant once you've finished the event quest
thorn thicket
You just talk to the noc by the repeatable quest giver
thorn thicket
Thereโs nothing to really do in there though
twilit arch
its mostly just for messing around as various npcs
thorn thicket
Just switch out your character with story npcs
The actual haunted house was cut this year along with the actual halloween event
thorn thicket
Its just a small side thing
And it keeps people contained, unable to break things, like using a lalafell transformation to get into the dwarf houses in kholusia

How do you get old level 50 gear? I know there's a way but I can't seem to find it on google

the i90 gear is gotten from exchanging antique drops from snowcloak/sastasha hard/qarn hard to kakalan in mor dhona

so in aetherochemical research facility, do you have to stack on the marked target for Harmachais' Ballistic Missile? Because ive seen people do that yet all three of them get fucked
thorn thicket
canโt remember it by name. What does the marker look like?
Large circle with arrows pointing in?
potent lava
the person is bound and a round orange circle on the floor
mystic ruin
I think that stack mechanic was the weird one where only two people need to stack
potent lava
its the one during the anti machina phase
mystic ruin
So only the marked person and one other person stacks
jaunty gorge
Where can I spend my tomestones for relic weapons?
faint owl
Ah I found the NPC for what I was looking for. Thank you!

If I remember correctly, the boss does a two-person stack missile followed by a four-person stack explosion
@potent lava
I did some googling and yeah, ballistic missile is a mechanic where itโs strictly two-stack, not three nor four

@kind eagle after the two-person stack circles resolve, you move out of the way in a clockwise direction while the tanks/healers stay still.

(or they might move further away, depending on where you resolved the circles)

How does the collector appraiser work if collectible synthesis no longer exists
jade quartz
Go to the special recipes tab of your crafting log and scroll down to the Collectables section
collectable items are there now.
Items in that category will always be synthesised as collectables.

gritty oracle
Which is harder, tea or 70 ultimates? I'd assume actually the lv70 ultimates since you're synced and can't use 80 stuff.
gleaming mist
TEA
70 ultimates are just mechanic checks at this point, and you need to intentionally try to see enrage for either of them
and you can just open the config menu on the title screen to stop the cinematic from playing
@gritty oracle
rotund slate
How do I unlock manipulation if my carpenter is 80 but I don't have any class quests
fresh lodge
Due to the way gear scaling works, with current BiS, you're going into the 70 ultimates with the best possible stats
You go do your class quests
gritty oracle
Thanks!
rotund slate
I don't have any for carpenter?
rotund slate
I'm done with msq
fresh lodge
Check your completed quest log
Because manipulation is from the 65 CRP quest
So there is no way to finish all the quests and not have it unlocked
