Yup!
Try changing the password??
I'm no support but if that don't work then contact support
Or try a different ip
How do I upgrade from Arcanist to Summoner? Assuming I have to do the level 30 class quest?
we already tried changing the password so we'll just contact the support and wait, ty!
classes should have 2 quests at level 30, one to conclude the storyline and one to unlock the job stone
I think the summoner one is the npc standing next to the counter
Is there an option that cutscenes still continues even if i alt tab
I don't remember but it'll say when you look at the quest rewards
Jesus I can't SPELL
You can still rematch cutscenes in an inn room
If you accidentally skip them
I mean when I alt tab the cutscenes pause. Is there an option so that if I alt tab it will still continue
are you using fullscreen or borderless
you should be able to press space and toggle autoplay
unless the alt tab is disabling that
How do I buy a House for my FC?
Alright ty guys
ah....
5.35 they added new housing wards
But they all got filled less than the week it was launched
but there is a chance i can get 1 right
At the moment? I don't believe so
Unless they're are plots open
You cannot walk to a empty plot and get it
and you need the FC to be rank.. 5?
You have to click the placard until the invisible timer expires
and have permissions to buy land for the FC
okay @green grail thanks!
And that timer takes maybe up to 24 hours
as in FC-rank permissions
I own the FC so thats fine, i got the rank 5 so i just need to find a free plot
well hunting it alone definitely not a small task..
if you could ask your fc mates, that would make it easier
for an assist when the time comes
so i might just be better of joining an FC instead of owning one then?
I mean for like the housing/buffs/etc
oh, so you made that guild so you can have access to house and buffs?
yeah plus we like the whole building a guild aspect
its just fun especially with housing in the mix
well you def can join one, but you'll lose the sense of building a guild aspect from scratch i guess
it's sure more convenient if you want buff/housing if the guild is already established
Okay so I just gotta be dumb lucky to get a house
Did apartments use to be more expensive? I just had a friend tell me they bought their apartment over a year ago for 1M.
no, apartments have always been 500k
They're always opening for apartments
Unless your on Balmung
Maybe hard to find an apartment there
But like Kael said
500k flat
How would I know what glamour items each GC has
can you see other players in eureka or are you alone in it?
Is there a stat distribution I should be shooting for on my GC Squadron? Looking at the various mission requirements there doesn't seem to be
@bold trout
@tidal yarrow player search tab will be replaced with "adventurerer list" when you go look in the party wind
Should be right most tab
Might be dead rn because Bozja
Eureka can have up to 144 players at one time
I do very much doubt you are alone in Eureka
i see ty
Np
@open ember that's serpent / flame / storm respecttively?
Maelstrom / Serpent / Flame
From left to right
Maelstrom = red
Serpent = yellow
Flame = gold/black
Also, for Maelstrom you can also remove the coat

Dunno about the others GC outfits
It shouldn't be
the picture for maelstrom isn't entirely accurate
its not a full length coat, its a jacket
!iglam storm lieutenants jacket
!iglam Storm Elite's Coat
These are more accurate than the pick I posted. Apologies
storm elite's coat isn't the one that's shown in that picture. its the storm lt jacket
I'm just listing other maelstrom attire
Can you trade Legendary yokai medals with other people?
That's ok
i mean, its not your fault. they just didnt't release the storm lt jacket as shown during that LL
Gotta go for red β€οΈ
@forest hamlet no
and was imply noting it
Thanks @remote lintel
what's the difference between a linkshell and free company?
You can form a linkshell between anyone from any server in your dc or in your server
Free Company is a group of players sharing a house(?), buffs and they usually do activities together
But it depends on fc
Linkshell is just. a chat
FC is not. FC is also tied to home world only
And has more functions than just a chat
And by chat you mean like discord, or like the chat functions in game?
Chat in game
ff14 has no way of officially linking discord
So players do it themselves
So a Linkshell is just for people who wanna chat and not necessarily do things in game
Yes and no
Like there's linkshells for hunts
And there's linkshells for just chatting
I have a linkshell on primal with two people from behemoth but we still wanna chat with them because they cant be in our fc
So linkshell is how we talk to them
Also linkshell has no buffs. Only FC does
I see
So, if you wanted to make a casual group in game that's focused solely on non gaming things, which would be the better choice?
if youre trying to form an actual group that actually does stuff together like activities then fc
linkshell is just the bare bones communication
people usually just use linkshells when they want to be notified of something or for like a group chat
@leaden ginkgo linkshell is probably better for that
I have linkshells cuz i dun wanna leave my fc LOL
The reason i asked is I just went through making an anime discord and was trying to recruit people and such. Figrured since I play FF xiv all day I'd try to get people from there.
So as healer white mage, should I go for ring with +vit, piety, mind or one with +vit, mind, int, direct hit ?
wouldnt you just use the discord
Hi guys I'm having trouble unlocking Gunbreaker class. I'm at the questgiver, have ShB purchased and main a 67 AST. Am I missing something? o.o
@bleak lake the higher ilvl
they got same ilvel :
then doesnt really matter below 80
true, but still... is piety more important over other stats?
@remote lintel I wanted to make something in game too
@pliant monolith is the quest still red?
but INT is just for DPS right
int is for caster dps
I'm a healer.. whiute mage
mind is for healers
@bleak lake i say just use recommended gear button until you have access to 500 ilvl item
The NPC isn't offering any quest ):
So, Piety over INT as healer then
My friend is trying to log in for the first time and gets this any idea? https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/N4ieTwyGm5pOJ4AbcZ6R4CKTjwg6HkIP6eLNuhkm1Gk/https/image.prntscr.com/image/Oj_2pD8iQ46IbswYbGuM3g.png
int doesn't add anything on healer
@bleak lake yes but you said the other ring has mind
both has mind
oh
@pliant monolith can you take a screenshot
Can't advertise other discords on here, so... lol
is they a max amount of people you can have in your apartment at a time
if its related to a linkshell you can
is there an max amount of people allowed in your apartment at a time
No
i tried to pay a sub for the first time after my free 30 days finished, i think i did it right, paid for a month, standard sub, but its like 30 mins now and i still cant log in
If you want to but i doubt that will ever happen Coconut

Let's not answer random things
@gleaming widget did you update internet explorer
@remote lintel Internet explorer?
I am nice. And have been answering as best as I can for everything I see here
sametimes
How do you do that thanks tho
watching an video helps better
I searched couldn't find
coconut, unless you actually have a video that could help please stop
how do I unlock eureka?
you need to look up the error code on youube
saying to google or youtube it is not helpful at all
like this
@remote lintel
the unlock quest for Eureka is in Rhaglr's reach, called "And we shall call it Eureka" @tidal yarrow
@tidal yarrow Rhalgers Reach "We Shall Call it Eureka"
@remote lintel Thanksss
how to fffxiv how to fir error code number
Op two answers
@paper wyvern it doesn't look like you added a sub, did you click "add subscription"
i even got a message from my bank in my phone that they took the money
ikt looks like your sub didnt go though
Nah Yuuko
are you sure you clicked "add subscription" and did it that way?
thanks
U are welcome
yeah i clicked add sub, payed through mastercard, they sent me a code on phone, i put the code, press accept and all done
i even got a message from bank that i paid 13 euro
and the 1 euro test
or i dont know what that is
probably contact support if youre sure you added a sub and they took your money
well it my bank security service, everytime i have to pay online with my mastercard, they send me a one time code
for security
ah
Nice nice
i even go in history but nothing it didnt get through
if the money went through then contact support
ok ty mate
but usually how much time it takes to accept it?
maybe ill wait a little more?
oki
Is eureka worth doing? What's the benefit?
Is there a fate tracker site somewhere? Trying to get my books done, is there a more efficient method of trying to see if a specific fate is up than just visiting the zone?
Eureka makes some bomb ass cash
You also get mounts
If you're lucky
Its just extra content
not really, pretty much go to the zone and see if its up. if not, server hop and see if its up on another world @gritty oracle
Bunny chests give you a bunch of gil
oh ty!
Does it require a certain number of people to do?
its easier if you can find a group, but they added echo to eureka so you can solo it
for the most part
Ok cool. Ty
@remote lintel do i have to register the card first?
maybe

I've only recently started playing and gotten through shadowbringers. The only main side content I've done is Alexander stuff. Is there anything I should or need to do for context before trying to do the Bozjan stuff I keep seeing? Or lore-wise is it fairly stand-alone from other side content?
!faq contentunlock
@remote lintel ok i got it mate, it was just me being stupid. sorry for wasting ur time π
Oh thank you, I'm working on Omega quests right now but I haven't even heard of those other two things
each expansion has 3 24-man raids and 12 8-man raids
the ivalice raids are stormblood's 24 man raids
Rabanastre , Ridorana and Orbonne have to be done
and required to get your shadowbringers relic weapon
Before you can even consider Bozja
Ohhh, wow, okay, good to know, I'll have to look through those links up there (assuming they should help me figure out where to start quests for these things)
For stormblood raids
yes they should
Thank you!
i did my expert like an hour ago and I still can take the daily loot. nani?
daily reset has been at 17 my time for ages now it's 16:47
Daily reset was 51 minutes ago always has been
@shadow sand did you update internet explorer
Update internet explorer
@remote lintel how do i?
@remote lintel didn't work
are you sure windows is up to date
yes
oh wait i have a update
lol
@remote lintel https://prnt.sc/va7w3c still don't work
i would try a vpn
ok
or ask #technology-discussion
make sure youre not using anti virus software or the firewall isnt blocking it
transpose, not really since you get tools later on to switch easily between the two stances/maintain enochian
its a more useful at low levels when you don't have f3/b3 to quickly get max astral/umbral stacks or you need to maintain enochian between pulls
scathe, is generally not used for the most part. Its got a few niche optimizations iirc, but its kind of your last resort for movement/if the boss is about to die and you wouldnt be able to get a full cast off
Blizzard 3/Fire 3 are used to switch
At 76 you use Umbral Soul in astral ice to keep up enochian between pulls
Transpose is still useful in combat after you unlock blizzard3/fire3 until you get the trait that makes them zero mp at the opposite state
After that trait, transpose wonβt be used in combat
But they still have out of combat use just for enochan
Transpose is basically for when you got nothing to hit and are in Fire
Or switching to ice
Itβs commonly used after the last flare
Before the 0 mp trait
The 0 mp trait is unlocked at 72
And flare is at 50
should note that's for AoE, in that transpose stays useful until the 72 trait
and not for single target
only reason to use transpose after 40, for single target, is if you somehow mess up your rotation
For single target, transpose is useless in combat ever since you unlock both fire and blizzard 3
But itβs still useful out of combat even after level 76. To get into Ice and start spamming Umbral soul
Is it possible make a macro where a text would be played on the middle of your screen like example when your retainer sells something there's a text in the middle of your screen. Would help with some cooldowns
no
naw those would fall under a third party callout system
you would need some kind of overlay to handle that || not that I know anything about that
||
is it normal if i'm on borderline lacking mp when i level my whm lv 45ish
i spam lucid (the mp regen skill)
when are you using lucid
then use it at like 80% instead
if it's normal it's ok
but if you're spamming holy during trash pulls
i don't have holy yet
it is kind of normal to run out since you don't have assize or thin air to help
just stone and that green dot skill
holy is 45 tho
ok well, when it comes to holy spam yes its pretty normal. but if its just a matter of running oom with normal healing/dpsing
i see, hmm
then you probably want to use lucid earlier than you are
ok ok
assize and thin air though, go a long way to helping with mp so it'll get easier once you've got those two
maybe later on, when i get to 50 and replaces all these half gray gear it's getting normal
ok
so when should people use lucid usually?
like 100% sp?
or just spam it on cd π
its ok to basically use it on cd
ok ty ty
though keep mind that you don't want to use it basically when you're topped off
yeh, like in the beginning of a fight when im about to use spells hehe
i'll use it

If I want a specific fate to spawn, should I clear other fates in the zone?
it can help since there are only so many fates that can be active on the map at one time
but there's no real way to force the fate you want to spawn
What's the best way to increase item level if I'm 455?
My weakest gear is body at 430
Phanta is the more accessible tomestones for 460 gear
And you can buy 480 crafted gear off the marketboard
Neo-ishgardian
I think I might have to do Eden or phantas
Can I do Eden?
Yes you can
Also there is no weekly limits for edens anymore until next tier
So you could grind a set in a day if you wanted
Oh I think I've already done all the raids
So if I want body which ones do I need to do?
They drop from all floors
Oh lord think they all drop body pieces
Do 5-8
I just started today for the first time in 6 months so which would be the most rusty friendly
Ok thx
I think I only need 1 body I thought I needed more
At the end I can choose all of them now right?
Nice get the rest of the pieces and exchange them at Yahl Yahl or whatever that goblin's name is
yes
Yes
You might get an eden in roulette
More than likely u gonna have to queue for them individually
Roulette raid goes up to 60 it says
It has all normal modes you unlocked
And have access to
The level is just the minimum
Oh right
you can also use augmented neo ish(490), which cost phantasmagoria and gil. Itβs cheaper than buy whole sets of neo ish(480) but needs lots of phantasmagorias.
Bozja gears from Castrum are 495, but it takes time to wait for it to spawn
whats the best way to level around 48? POTD queue's are like 30 mins long for where i am
Roulettes or Aurum Vale
Aurum vale?
A level 47 dungeon
oooh ok

where is the delivery moogle located
Every major city
cities
Marked on the map
Uldah - at Ruby Avenue Exchange
Limsa - in the upper deck, near the blacksmith and armorer guild
Gridania - near the amphitheatre
sapphire avenue exchange
Erm
No its not Sapphire
im at archers guild atm
Amphitheatere
go to the amphitheater
New or old gridania
old
Oo this helps lots ty
Hello guys, new player here, I have noob question xD
Are dragoons jumps just a "dash" with jumping animation? I mean, you are not actually in the air, we can't use that to jump the orbs in the copied factory raid or to jumping the platforms in raid, can we?
Any movement ability moves you across the floor
hmm yea that what i noticed
The items I purchased arent in there?
What did you buy
Wuuut
They take abit of timr
when did you buy it
Usually not long
Mount,minion,book etc
account wide mount?
Account wide stuff takes a while
Um the witch broom mount
Give it 10-20 min
Oh that single character
If it doesn't arrive in 10-20 min then hit "request delivery"
Ingame or on site
In the mAil
Where do I buy Carboncoat?
You dont
Everything comes augmented now
Guess I just sit for 20 min lol
I know that
But I have old IW gear I wanted to augment
Oh
And the guy by Gerolt still augments IW
Cant augment old ironworks for whatever reason
Just trash and get new ones
The vendor still does it
For if you still have the itemd
Absolutely no way to buy any of them even if they can augment it
Trash and get augmented sets. Saves the trouble from the get go
Same goes for all poetics gear
Hello, is there a discord or resource for stuff related to the Bozjan Front?
Eureka explorers have info and links to some bojza discords
That sucks
Seems silly to cut out the item to augment this gear
Just have the nonaugmented gear cost 100 less
Its for qol purposes
It was annoying to buy specific items just to augment every piece
They kept the same system for Deepshadow, no?
I meant that they don't change the system of buying x or y to augment
The only thing that changes is the currency
Where can I find a link to eureka explorers? Is that a website or discord?
you're a fringe case, there's no reason for them to keep those items in-game when they effectively have no use anymore
It's not a fringe case lmao, it's a returning case
@latent raven
https://discord.gg/4wCButq
that's a fringe case, in that not many people are going to necessarily be in your situation
either way tho, it is what it is. no point in venting about it here
Should be Crystal Exploratory Missions or something
Just pointing out the inconsistency of it
it was a recent change because there was no reason to have un augmented and augmented
Okay @open ember thank you so much. I will check it out
You are welcome
just buy the augmented version
Talk about woosh
it was a QoL change for new player because there's no point in making them go thru the augment process while leveling. Again, there is no point in having those items anymore. For whatever reason they decided not to add the ironworks set to the calamity salvager to be augmented if you still had the unaugmented versions
I'm aware of how useful it is as a QoL change
doesn't change the fact that this is still not the channel to vent about it
However, I would ask why they still sell the i370 sets at all
Especially considering they're going to sell the i400 augmented versions
Glamour
Moving on, I just unlocked Faux Hollows
I see that it's basically a weekly bit, but is RF a good resource for that?
Trying to do the dungeon quest "Fire in the Gloom", level 16, but it doesn't look like anyone is queueing up for it. Could anyone help out? I'm on the Elemental data center.
if you're dps, queues tend to take a bit longer. also make sure that in the duty finder settings you have J enabled (can access the duty finder settings by clicking the cogwheel at the top of the window)
If I use grit once in a dungeon do I need to use it again to have its effect? Or does it stay active the entire time?
Its a toggle
Dang okay lol. Iβve been using it a lot lol
I have all languages selected. Hopefully it pops soon lol
I didnβt know that thank you
Yeah no dont
Be aware that every time the game syncs your level to anything you lose all buff effects
(including grit)
Ah I see
Just once for the entire instance
Yes
And enmity doesn't work in the overworld
wha
Royal Guard, Iron Will, Defiance and Grit
what do you mean doesn't work
because you absolutely can pull aggro from someone else while out in the open world
Idk why you would
that's...not the point
like its a false statement to say that it doesn't work in the open world
If it didnβt draw aggro, wouldnβt hunts be much harder
Alright lmao I get it
iirc they do draw aggro in hunts
Quick question: do bloodbath and second wind gain enmity like healers do?
don't think so
Second wind yes
or if they do then it's extremely low
bloodbath, i don't believe so
Bloodbath shouldn't
But definitely second wind generates some enmity
Small
But some
Ok thanks
this might be a dumb question but ive just started playing and um how do you get a minion
Various means
Literally dozens of ways
straight up buy them
Veteran/achivement rewards
Earliest easiest method would be before your first dungeon
Msq has some minions to get you started
There is a couple of sidequests in Aleport that gives minions
Isn't the wind up airship the first one you get?
Yes
That's what I was thinking
oh okay thanks guys 
Can see all minions here
And how to get
Also most dunegons can drop a minion
I don't know if all can
I don't remember every dunegon drop in existence
Aurum Valeβs minion seems to have a high drop rate. Iβve thrown away lots of them already
Since they changed arr chests to not drop trash potions, minion drops rates have increased to basically garanteed with some exceptions (last boss chest)
I spammed Aurum Vale with squadrons and that minion drops like every single time
I donβt think other arr dungeons have such a high drop rate like that
The seedling?
Yes
Pretty sure that's guaranteed if the chest spawns
Which i believe spawns if you kill all the seeds before they hatch
Demon brick from ampador (?) and calamari also are now mostly always drop
The chest shouldnt vary by the number of seedlings hatched
So Raid Finder, good y/n?
Depends what you want to use it for
raid finder is just duty finder
North america generally doesnt use raid finder
What I mean is if it's a dead mechanic or if people actually use it
People use it
Like if people use statics instead or whatnot
So with the fashion challenge today, it says "any white dye" on the boots. Is that any of the white category dyes (including the greys and blacks?) or is it white colored dyes? in which case, does bone white work even if it's a yellow category dye?
Mostly for hard content party finding
If you have a static great, if you don't party finder~
Should I expect the same kinds of people to be in RF then as well?

Or will it be somewhat better
Rf will be only as random as the number of people who use it to queue into content
And their skill and attitudes can and will vary
Queuing with people is just completely random but with party finder you can set actual filters and stuff to like, get you an average improvement to your chances of finding good people
Unreal trials are just like the original ones just scaled up to endgame so you can't unsync cheese the fight
Right
Unreal shiva has tighter dps check but the actual playing it isnt worse than lv 50 version. If can do 50synced can probably do unreal version
Though saying that ARR trials are not as hard as the expansion ones
Based on the way they were presented though, I thought that the term meant it was something insane like the ultimates or whatnot
when placing a consumable food item in my house,
does it disappear after the 10 uses are up, or will it stay but not have any servings?
it stays but the food will be gone
O BOY
using that Main story skip book was a horrible idea
how in dear lord am i gonna level from 13
was prae made harder to skip lately? I used to see people using disconnect to skip cutscenes all the time, but now nobody does it. Were all of the skippers banned or did SE do something to make skipping harder?
(I don't skip, too potato internet)
how in dear lord am i gonna level from 13
Hunting log to 17 then palace of the dead, alternatively level skip potion
o?
story skip is in general a bad idea if you're new to the game.
But it is possible
i never seen a job skip
i just thought buying the 3 storyline skip woulda gimme level LOL
Its Tales of an Adventure items
They are there
Pretty sure it says on the description it doesn't level you
Pfffffft
Did you skip to Shadowbringers
i skipped all the way
O.o....
Story....gear?
yh
the dude in theatre
has story gear in the Buystock
MSQ whichever u wanna call it
In...theatre?
I don't have a clue what that means
oh, that just lets you buy quest reward gear that you skipped or duplicates incase you delete it by accident
Yeah
it is the item reclaim
Yee
Oh the calamity salvager?
Ohhh
They asked earlier
Someone who can easily get into Mogstation link it
This is a job skip
what level that get you to?
I would recommend once you get the job skip you start NewGame+ to do the story if you didn't intended to skip.
70
i mean do i need to do newgame+
I might need to consider that for the lvl 55 SAM quest.....failed it 3 times ;_;
It gets you to 70
i dun really wanna start over LOL
NewGame+ won't start you over, it is a "replay" option
It is highly advised against to boost your very first character
yea but is it needed to do the story again if i technically unlocked it
Because in Shadowbringers you are expected to know mechs
@flint meteor is your gear good enough? That could be why
am I meant to do the relic quest in ARR? Or would it just be replaced as soon as I move on in the msq?
It's great glamour tho
They're extremely not worth it for a functional weapon
alright well i'll go back if i want it for glam, thank you
@little swift i've got ilvl 115-125 gear, 4 pieces of Ironworks. I just can't seem to outlast the last enemy
At 55 thats well under the gear requirement
oof
Yeah you'd want all 130 really
130 gear gets replaced by 136 gear which has more defense by a decent margin
So its reasonable that you're getting slapped
Yes but his gear should be fine if he's rotating properly until late 50s
Including the 55 job quest
....no
It really isn't
It really is
His gear really isn't okay
He said 115, yes?
Yes
The gear curve in hw and sb is steeper than shb
115-125
Same thiiing Ken
Thats like the starter gear for samurai
I'm just looking at mog station so I don't have the actual number
I didn't upgrade from i130 until I could swap to Shire
Which definitely included the job quests
He's under that
130 isn't 115-125
Just because you can doesnt mean you should
Also ^
And you're conflating at 10+ ilvl difference
I can't imagine it would affect it that much for a 55 job quest
Whenever I had trouble with a job quest, it was about rotations and self-healing
Gear was important, to be sure, but it's also about rotations
You also had better gear
well it does lol I get close to winning but there's a move or two that slaps me and I just can't outlast the damage no matter how good I do
Sam, right?
yes
I don't Sam, but they have bloodbath and second wind, right?
Do they have any other self heals
Have you checked a guide to see if that last bit is you doing a mechanic wrong?
Do they have any other self heals
No but at that point IIRC they have third eye?
Merciless eye is not worth talking about either as a self heal
Yeah I wasn't even going to bring it up Channy
It heals literally shit
What's with this play guide pop up every time I enter the game now?
It heals worse than a summoner physick
You can disable it
either way, if I can get better gear I'll just grind for that a bit. I'm jumping back in after a lull and if I couldn't do this quest before taking a break I won't get it done now
Don't discount the mechanics thing
that too
Quite a few job quests will require you to do some inane mechanic or other or get wiped
Just do your roulettes and boom full set of 130 ironworks gear
the ironworks i have is 125
120 you mean?
How close did you get on your best attempt
it's been a few months but I wanna say last enemy to a quarter life? he summons mobs and near the end managing both is getting me killed....IIRC
You should be able to upgrade your 120 gear to 130 through a calamity salvager?
You can't
Yea you can....
I just had this discussion an hour ago
dont know why ironworks was not also added
It absolutely is
Oh not ironworks? Now that's dumb
but it is what it is
I'd say if it's a quarter life that's a bit rough @flint meteor
Though that may be a lack of aoe usage but the gear isn't doing you any favors
You should be able to buy the relevant armor for your level in Foundation though
Don't buy nq vendor gear for combay jobs
For 5 levels?
Its not recommended
NQ gear from ishgard isn't going to be better than ironworks
It's old HW content, depending on his server prices, he could spend 20-30k for a temporary set or 300k
I would compare to see
Its cuz its NQ
You realize that nq gear has gimped stats compared to its given ilvl right?
I didn't think of it as a negative, but the principle remains the same if he's using nonaugmented IW
Its a downgrade
just to compare. unaugmented ironworks is 45 int, 47 vit vs NQ lvl 52 holy rainbow shirt of casting is 43 int, 45 vit
And is that the highest shirt they sell?
NQ is generally not worth buying, as its not capped on main stats
That's not the same as gatherer nq gear right
Because that's how I leveled up gatherers and crafters... With vendor gear
gatherers/crafters can get away with NQ gear because its not as significant
Ok then for combat jobs its ass
54 gear outstats nonaugmented IW
well this answers my other question: after a long time away I was feeling a bit overwhelmed on what I should get back to doing. But the answer is grinding gear and apparently getting the rest of IW and then augmenting it with some Carbontwine apparently?
tbh if you're having issues with sam quest, i would just wait until you get to idyllshire and get shire gear (assuming lvl 60)
and do it then
Does 55 unlock a skill?
no
Ah
not for sam/rdm
You dony augment ironworks anymore
Vendor gear is fine for slapping onto retainers to meet breakpoints
You can't buy carbontwine anymore
He has nonaugmented IW, which is why we were comparing them
Because it checks ilvl and stat numbers
wiki failed me
Its not updated to 5.3
They haven't been updated
You can just do sohm al normal a couple times
For better than unaugmented ironworks
Or the 55 dungeon
I would say just level to 60 and get shire gear and then do that duty
I think I know which duty you're talking about
Is it the Costa del Sol SAM duty?
@flint meteor
yes it is
Yeah that duty is ass
yeah that one can be a bit hard at lvl
It took me 10 tries to do it
Jeez
even if you have appropriate lvl gear for it, honestly just easier to come back to it once you hit 60
and have shire gear
That's what I did
What is higher EXP per hour grinding?
Duty Roulettes or Highest Dungeon available spam?
you're generally not going to want to grind duty roulette
I thought roulettes were solid
you wanna do them once a day for the daily bonus, and then do highest level dungeon
It is
At least for the bonus
Only once daily
You do Duty Roulettes once
Never spammed
ok
Rewards will say "Already Received"
I need to catch up my guildhests too
Guildhests give a smol xp bonus for first completion per class
It doesn't scale well at all past 40 but for the sub-50 classes it's decent xp
How do I level up a DPS job then? o.o
Do I just do my hunting logs/some random quests while in my 30 min queues? o.o
okay so I need to grind to 60, get 60 gear, come back to job quest
Hunting logs, fates, dungeons
Ideally? Yes
Squadrons if you want dungeons
Though I haven't done them so I dunno if the xp is the same
Squadron and potd should be the fastest
If you want to change it up, clear out an area's side quests
You can also join some free companies that might help out
for dps, its usually recommended to do potd <60, hoh for 61-70, and then trusts/beast tribe/bozja for 70-80
Once you get 42, you can do the terrible ARR beast tribes for some xp
Squadrons are better than potd imo. It lets you practice your job in dungeons and are very efficient exp-wise
I started this game with friends and we all played different things so we never had queue trouble
Weird flex
I mean, same, but now I'm stuck in DPS queue limbo cause we don't play together
It's hard to find one with people that are online and willing to do roulettes but I repeat them for clusters most of the time
anyway thanks all, this helped
How do I go into POTD?
Hunt trains are much more efficient for materias than roulette role in need bonus
Potd is in quarrymill but you have to unlock it first
The unlock quest is somewhere in Gridania with that + sign
First quest to unlock is in gridania
At adventurers guild
"The House that Death Built"

Sorry regarding RAF, am a little confused
If I am a returning player, can I not give my code?
I can't find my code goddamn anywhere and when I looked it up I read this
I was unsubscribed for a while but came back ~ 2 months ago
I'm pretty sure thats for people using the code
The banner should be under Your Account section on Mogstation
Right there
Where can I check if I did the preq for POTD? I can't seem to be able to take it o.o
I have a level 80 char and completed the whole MSQ
Journal > complete > side quest > gridina sidequests
If you Have completed it, you go to quarrymill and talk to the wood wailer captain guy to que in
I have a question in regards to buying an expansion to progress beyond HW: what is the difference between the complete edition and getting shadowbringers?
If you're on trial you must get Complete edition or Starter edition + Shadowbringers
Getting just Shadowbringers on trial does nothing
As you own nothing on trial and you cant use dlc for a game you dont own
Oh.
So you need to get the base game and then the expansion. Got it.
Does starter edition include SB?
No
Shadowbringers includes SB
Starter edition is Arr + heavensward
Shadowbringers is SB and ShB
I see.
Is there any advantage to buying starter and expansions seperately over the complete edition?
Right I thought it was regarding the actual accounts redeeming the code but I can't find anything on that page other than this
Regarding RAF
Paladin question: Say that I miss my rotation for reasons. Like we need to scatter to avoid big boss mechanics. I have my damage buff 15s away, but my off globals are ready to fire now. Do I save them so I can sync back up again?
And just save FoF for the next window?
Next window of what
of opportunity
Holding cooldowns is basically never the right choice
Unlesd you know the boss is about to go away very soon
So if I fall off my perfect rotation cycle, just keep jamming?
Just keep rolling...use it rather than losing it
aight
For POTD do I go fixed or matched party?
Why do my Aesthete accessories lose durability much faster than my left side?
is there any orchestrion roll for the song that plays on suzaku extreme?
oh so it's not on market board?
Yes it is
!
The song is sunrise
it's tradeable so you can buy it off the mb, but it's probably expensive
Yes
how so?
With the orchestion
Its usually near the door
ooh I see.. thx
So has anyone here ever completed the Feast of Famine quest?
Yep
how long did it take you? π
In terms of actually trying, about a week or so
But I had the quest for probably a few months of procrastination
Also weather cycles
Okay good to know, I've only been trying for about a day now
please, do you have the link to steam benchmark?
I donβt think there is a steam version of the benchmark
But the benchmark doesnβt care about the licenses you have, anyways
!faq benchmark
How do I leave potd without losing my rewards? Lol
Discard items
This one?
Yes
Its saying "if you have a full inventory you'll lose items"
Thanks ^^
It's just a warning so if you have 140/140 you get nothing
Is there a way to join POTD through duty finder and not by having to talk to the NPC? I was thinking to complete my hunting logs while in queue π€·ββοΈ
Nope
Aww, okay π¦
AST advice, am I good to just unbind Benefic 1 outside of really low level stuff? I never use it and most guides say its better to just use benefic II or an ogcd if a single person's health drops
I'd say you can keep it on some weird inaccessible spot by accident on your bars
For a quick switcheroo
But its fine to take it off otherwise if you want
Is there a way to join POTD through duty finder and not by having to talk to the NPC? I was thinking to complete my hunting logs while in queue π€·ββοΈ
@lethal cape you can however, leave the npc and do whatever once you're in the PotD queue
i still cant get the queue to pop for (ShB)||crown of the immaculate||. been trying since yesterday.
is this excluded from the roulette or something?
No it's in trial roulette
But comparing the relative number of players past the point in shadowbringers to those who've completed a realm reborn it may take a but longer
hmm. i see. didnt consider that.
Try opening a pf and say that it's first time bonus. People love their poetics.
ye i should have done that earlier. now the info thingy for the DF is showing people finally filling in so il wait
i have been playing the non steam free trial for a while and have almost never had any issues with fps lag. i recently bought the game on steam since ive had steam funds sitting there for a while and now i get very frequent fps drops. is this a known issue with steam and if so, is there a fix or anything i should try? sorry if this is the wrong channel
can you take new daily clan hunt bills if you haven't finished the previous day bills? 
can you take new daily clan hunt bills if you haven't finished the previous day bills? :thonk:
@wicked blade yes
you just replace the ones you have currently
the game will usually ask you to confirm it too
@velvet linden quite a weird situation to be experiencing. have you tried updating your drivers and what not? if you have what about rolling them back? also you can try #technology-discussion for more in-depth assistance
oh okie, i was wondering if you could do 2 days concurrently but guess not. thanks so much!!
thanks channy ill check my drivers when i get a chance
oh okie, i was wondering if you could do 2 days concurrently but guess not. thanks so much!!
@wicked blade you can finish one and then grab the next current day's bills
