anyone knows the reason why some custom deliveries aren't locked behind blue quests?
like the quest in firnament? what makes them categorised as sidequest?
Technically it's because they're locked behind a side quest chain
At least for Kurenai
well i was told that there's a story behind the side quest npcs in ishgard and i unknowingly unlocked a custom deliveries npc
Who?
Spoiler tags exist
||Ehll Tou||
I don't remember that one at all
But I haven't unlocked them so maybe I'll remember if I see them
How do I level up both summoner and scholar?
It's automatic
hmm just level arcanist to lv 30 and unlock both blue quest of scholar and summoner
You still have to do the job quests to get the stone & abilities for the one you aren't otherwise doing, which is weird
so i dont have to do scholar's first quest?
Not until you want to get the scholar abilities
Oh so quest is just for the abilities and stone
I think the question you should answer is if you want to level both up at the same time
Correct
As in actively do both
if you just want to level up fast, get scholar for fast queue
bounce back to sum for class quest occasionally or when questing in world map
Oh i'm maining summoner though
yeah, it's ok
However, doing both job quests also means inevitably gearing for two
just make sure you unlocked the scholar blue quest so you can level both at the same time
That's why I stopped doing SMN when I was SCH main
but you can unlock them later on and the level will still sync'd
It'll retroactively apply anyway
yeah, it is fine if you don't want to "cheat" a bit with scholar, just that you will have longer queue.
I mean if they don't want to heal they don't want to
Hmm ok I think I unlocked the quest because I had an option to get it

This is a bit weird. I have 3 zelkova log collectables in my inventory, but I can't turn them in at Rhalgr's Reach
Can I not turn in collectables outside my level range? It doesn't identify that I even have them
Is soloing a FATE that's near to your job level meant to be near-impossible? I know they're meant for groups but I'm antisocial and probably shouldn't be playing an MMO. 😛
It depends on your class, chocobo, and type of fate really
I'm not really antisocial but I do like to do things myself where possible.
I should've trained my chocobo more.
What is giving you so much trouble?
Trying for the Yokai weapons. Dying a lot in HW areas.
What class and level
NB: areas I already beat for the story. I'm a lv 62 MNK.
In full shire?
in general the fates in hw have a lot more hp and syncing down to them makes it a bit poop to solo, particularly the boss fates
No not full shire, haven't earned enough poetics yet. 😓
I figured the HW fates were built a bit differently
nah its just stat inflation more than anything
Fates scale based on population don't they
almost every ARR fate is trivialized now besides some special achievement fates
and yes they do
definitely peek into party finder and see if you can find some groups to join
you don't need to say anything
Can confirm the ARR achievement ones, they're nuts
Ok so I will do that but I kinda find LFG for fates weirdly... intimidating.
Totally irrational.
nah
And then shout asking people to join your PF for yokai farm
yokai and shb relic are making fate farming more common again
we've had a couple waves of fate farm this expansion
more gear will help though for sure
Of course.
I dunno if it's worth still getting shire if you're 62 though
I just came back and played through storm blood but the fetch quests almost made me give up and I had to force myself through the msq. Does it get better in shadow ringers?
Shb fate farming Is still very useful if you're a crafter
It does
Also it has decent exp
Yeah maybe I should just continue the story and come back in a few days when I'm into the next expansion's gear.
You have until December for Yokai anyway
I'm not far off clearing HW.
Oh if you haven't finished HW then finish Shire
the quest objectives overall don't change much @toxic glacier but the quest storyline improves
There's far less monotonous work
And it's made up for with better overworld music and generally things actually happen often
Ok I hated the collect quest from x. Go to y. Return to x. Talk to a b c. Return to x. I thought mmorpgs were past this
mmo questing has never really been more than that
Hopefully a better experience in shadowbringers
quests in games in general are like that
I thought guild wars 2 did it better but too bad the end game sucks
If you're looking for nuance, the role quests are where it's at
oo what's gw2 quest looks like?
GW2 uses a system similar to the FATEs we have here
and it has a bunch quest objectives like that
I see, so it attracts people who prefer to kill than to read? 🤔
on top of exploration and other things as bonus objectives
Some of the Fates have decent micro storylines
it all scales you to the correct level
Are there any BLM spells that can be removed from hotbar?
Is there a reference that lists how much <wait> I should put in a crafting/gathering macro?
If I remember correctly you collect the initial quest from the quest giver. Then after you kill you don't have to hand it in. The quest giver will speak to you over a communicator to lead you to the next quest
I say 2 - 3 secs
So you don't have to return to town to get the next quest
Is there a reference that lists how much <wait> I should put in a crafting/gathering macro?
@fast talon I do know that buffs are 2 and actions are 3 in crafting
Well well
@fast talon I do know that buffs are 2 and actions are 3 in crafting
@leaden ginkgo do you think the same applies for gathering?
you are i had to double check my macros
do people use macro for gathering? 🤔
For collectables at least
@leaden ginkgo do you think the same applies for gathering?
@fast talon Not sure
Can you even macro collectables?
Pretty sure
Isnt it RNG based and you should change?
yeah the only thing i'd take off my hotbar is blizzard 2
there are a lot of procs going on 😂
Why Blizzard 2?
nah you can use a solid rotation
I mean it is rng based
when i gather my collectables
because its an aoe around you
But the range is acceptable
and kinda sucks
Is there an AoE around enemy?
Freeze and Flare
@fast talon heres some examples of macros used in gathering collectables
Less buttons easier to learn since I level skipped to 70
and sleep doesn't have much use in raid
i see, good to know
but thats about it
Awesome, thanks.
Sleep useful anytime?
Pvp
In normal content no
If I dont do Eureka / overworld?
Sleep is cursed in pvp
does.. anyone know the drop rate for Nightmare and Xanthos? garuda ex mounts
Garuda EX mount shouldnt be too hard but Nightmare
what are the chances
Its gonna take some RNG
that i get both
Happens
in my first run
nightmare is like a 1% chance
You got very lucky
grats
I think you just used up your luck for the rest of 2020
but the regular horses are pretty common now
i literally just ran it for wondrous tails
And given how 2020 has been, i'd watch your back
I think you just used up your luck for the rest of 2020
@fast talon think you mispelled the rest of the decade
LMAO
Sleep is almost never ever useful
You can do all
Excellent
Pretty sure you can solo anything in HW / ARR and halfway through SB
you can do them all
Even SB?
Ah
I stopped being able to solo stuff around The Drowned City of Skalla but I was DRG sooo
normal content you can solo everything as a tank
but EX stuff is dicey
definitely undoable as of now
I wouldnt know I didnt touch much SB stuff
things like suzaku birds exploding
Normal SB content or in general for unsync
Only did MSQ, Shisui of Violet Tides, and 24man
definitely soloable
I am 70
Hmm right
Just keep it on your hotbar you don't really touch just in case you get synced down
it has a minimum amount needed
it empties your MP bar, so you are supposed to use it last before changing to ice
For placeable aoes, can you macro it so it places it at your feet automatically?
Empties or 10k because it says 10k
empties the remainder
Alright
@leaden ginkgo use <me> as the argument instead of <t>
yeah, you use
/ac "something" <t>
/ac "something" <t>
add a few more lines for it to fire off 100%
so for example /ac "salted earth" <me>
whoops it is <me>
i'd definitely macro that as me instead of target
Right
can Doton be placed at target?
because bosses off the map will make it so you can't cast it
doton is only placed at your feet
^^
meh
only katon and hellfrog are target aoe for ninja's kit
so for example
/ac "salted earth" <me>
I forgot how to do this
Why several lines for a macro?
to alleviate the queuing issue
you want the macro to fire as many times as possible
so that it casts
macros are designed to be shit so this is the lazyman workaround
But it's instant, so wouldn't it do so as soon as you press it
in the case of crafting/gathering, you don't have to keep a gcd rolling so you can account for that error with waits
animation delays and weave windows are your point of contact
if you happen to hit your macro during a delay
Yeah I've noticed that
your macro fails
I mean it's trivial to copy paste the lines so I guess I'll experiment with sizing
It is /ac "skill" <me> right?
this is what i'd run with
What's the micon?
means macro icon
so it takes 15 frames to execute
I enjoy being able to change the icons, but wouldn't you be fine hitting macro between gcd
fire4 should be more conveniently placed than blizzard 1
@leaden ginkgo take Scathe off of your hotbar
again macros can fail, you can't guarantee that it will weave correctly
@leaden ginkgo take Scathe off of your hotbar
@crimson wind Why tho
It's utter trash
not something you'd use regularly
Well when do I use it?
holding damage in certain fights
cough procs, swift, triplecast
Those basically cover all movement needed
Especially since for whatever reason SE loves movement on 60s windows
is there a Bismark minion ShB? I already got Bismark minion HW

Is the end gear for shb neo Ishgard then crystarium?
Can you mix and match or is there a set buff?
the current best in slot stuff is
edenchoir and augmented crystarium
both of them ilvl500
with the edenchoir weapon being 505
for healers the best weapon is the relic
I heard that neo ish is the starter gear set for savage and then Eden choir and crystarium set
And then there’s the augmented version
Neo ish
At 480 is surgery
Starter
Crystarium and auv neo ish at 490
The end game is 500 aug cryst and eden choir
🦂
yeah neo ishgardian/augmented neo ishgardian is more than comfortable to start on content
this is a catchup patch so the easy to obtain gear is a bit newer than the current endgame content, when 5.4 drops it'll bring new progression
i just saw some old posts from the last yokai event that having a chocobo companion out prevents you from getting legendary medals... is that true again this time?
So I have a WT with
o X o o
X X o X
o X o X
o o o X
At 7/9, with X's being stickers. Thoughts on if I should reroll?
@final sandal thats not true
you're not getting 3 lines off that @leaden ginkgo so its up to you fi you want to reroll to get at least 1 line before you cement the last 2 stamps
ok ty
I know, I guess it's just a shame to be so close to having 3 different lines completed
Yeah 1 is definitely the baseline
but it can be a bit of a hassle
Though this one does have potential for 2
Line rewards suck anyway
Though the omega minions can sell for quite a bit if you get silver
3 lines for the 14mil shiva horse recolour
That the gold cert?
yes
So aim for neo ish when you reach 80?
Like if my three lines are bronze/silver/silver+gold, is that the same for other peeps?
Depends on what you want to do
If you want to, go for it
I’m interested in doing the Eden raids but not savage
Just to clear?
Resets in 2 Days, 23 Hours, 56 Minutes, 3 Seconds
1 Allagan Platinum Piece
500 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics
1 Timeworn Zonureskin Map
1 MGP Gold Card (30k MGP)
1 Khloe's Bronze Certificate of Commendation
50 Allagan Tomestones of Allegory
2 MGP Platinum Card (100k MGP)
Khloe's Silver Certificate of Commendation
500 Allagan Tomestone of Phantasmagoria
20 MGP Platinum Card (1mil MGP)
3 Khloe's Silver Certificate of Commendation
1 Khloe's Gold Certificate of Commendation
I think I am in an fc who do savage Eden and other hardcore endgame
Ah, so it is
if those are your rewards
They are
neo-ishgard is fine to start with now to learn savage
But I’m not interested in savage
It's basically skipping all of the loot inbetween
Hey how do you get rid of the tool tip that appears when hovering over an ability
its under character configuration @coarse tapir its "display action help"
I went straight to Eden E1-4 after msq and gearing up wasn't too onerous but that's a bit of rng with rolls
Like I said, it depends on your longer term goals with the class
I mean guilds are guilds
yes but they can do raids
True
but maybe there's someone out there who use fc to raid
if you're not heavily going into raiding and such, your gear and take a slower pace
They can be for anything from ERP to statics
Oh thanks its gone
next tier will have new gear anyways
that doesn't look like 3
Wondrous Tails are unlocked by speaking to the Unctuous Adventurer for the quest Keeping Up with the Aliapohs in Idyllshire upon reaching level 60 with at least one combat class.
Speaking with Khloe Aliapoh afterwards will give you a journal that has a series of random combat challenges to be completed which award you with a sticker that appears on the right-hand side of the journal. This journal can be accessed from the key items section of your inventory.
Your goal is to try and collect 9 stickers from completing those challenges. The stickers will appear in a random location on the 4x4 grid, but can occasionally align and form a straight line of 4, which can award you with additional rewards. Multiple line orientations are possible, with 3 lines being the most difficult to accomplish. Here is an image that shows how your stickers can be lined up so you can have the highest chance of 3 lines. Use the 'second chance' points you earn from completing content with new players to shuffle your 4x4 board around to try for 3 lines! To view what the possible rewards are for the Wondrous Tails or to see when they reset, use the !wt in #kupo-bot-spam Good luck!
here's all the orienations
I have a question guys
How to level boost in this game? Because my friend just want to play raids and dungeon.
- they would still need to play the shadowbringers story
- they would need to buy a level boost and story boost
unless they want to power level themselves
and those things are on mog station
yeah, literally everything is locked behind story in this game
regarding eureka
on the hydatos step
if I only want the glowing glamour
do I have to completely finish the weapon
can I stop at physeos or physeos +1?
I, can I farm the Nier raid to get gear has i want? Or it's limited?

@shell yew you cant farm puppets bunker
Do you have to do a questline before being able to purchase The Emperor's Set ?
yes
the one that requires a lvl 15 crafter
either absolutely glamorous or submission impossible depending on where you unlocked glams
Hi all
aaah I see alright thanks!
In order to accept a resistance weapon on another job that job needs to be level 80 right?
I bought the starter edition and am very new to MMOs
@placid ridge yes
Also is my resistance rank the same for every job or no?
your resistance rank doesnt matter on which job youre playing
its your level in bozja
And that is account wide
yes
Okie
character wide
it's like elemental level in eureka
is what i mean 
except your strength does not scale on it in the instance
it only unlocks content and increases your mettle gain/loss rate
Is it worth spending Poetics on the Ironworks/Shire gears if you're leveling an alt? Seeing as you'd just breeze past the levels faster than your main job?
sure
Is there anyway to move the icon for fester charges?
does anyone know enough about eureka to answer my question above
You don't have to complete the weapon, just have all the logos
@remote lintel thanks 🙂
there is a sale going for full edition on the jp site and amazon jp
will i be able get it if im using a NA square enix account 😭
no
no
game license is region locked
If I am not going to use Scathe, does that mean I can also remove Sharpcast?
no
no
Probably a dumb question. I'm a white mage and I'm level 51 I havent completed the main story quest and my gear level is 36. My jewelry are all below 30. Where would I find the earrings, neck, bracelet, and rings to bring up my item level
vendors in the big 3 cities
Okie ^-^
or market board ... but you shouldnt need to do so for below 50
Take note that the actual stat increase on accessories are very minor until you get lvl 50 accessories
You should be fine if you up keep your weapon and armors
Yea but the MSQ wont let me progress because my item level is too low
XDX so I gotta get gear
Have you done your lvl 45/50 job quests?
Yea I've done them all up to now
Finishing the lv50 one gives you a coffer of i90 gear
Your next one doesn't show until you reach Heavensward story btw
Look up Poetics gear
Also, what Channy said
Check that you've opened your i90
I saw that @robust notch but I need to beat the MSQ to get it
For future reference, the wiki is usually outdated info..this isnt one of those instances i think, but gamerscape is more up to date.
How would I know my job level for summoner/scholar?
It looks the same as your i45/50 but is better
yeah, at that level you should gear ironworks (assuming you done the msq)
Look at the exp bar?
or you can continue your job quest, they will give you gear set
They are right before the end of 2.0
I don't think I bought accessories until Ironworks, and I made it through the MSQ with that
I just kept my level 1 rings and what not
So all they need to do now is listen to Channy
And open the i90 coffer
From the lvl 50 job quest
so ive seen people using this thing where it shows how my dps they're doing
how do i get this on my screen?
That's a plugin
Nothing i90
@warped nest for summoner or scholar
Called ACT
oh is it not gonna get me banned?
In your inventory, there should be a coffer
@winter frigate check your inventory for an armor coffer.
I did I only had weapons one up to 45
oh is it not gonna get me banned?
@quiet wing if you keep quiet about it

They dont care if you use the parser just dont mention it. Use it for your own knowledge.
I'll just buy some from a vendor I just wanted to complete the story XD my weapons and body are 45+ the highest jewelry piece I have is 29 lmao
Jewelry don't matter
You literally do not need to buy
Fastest way to level a tank: PoTD or dungeons?
Dungeons
Dungeons
Tanks+healers always dungeon spam.
Check your armoury chest to make sure you've not already opened it
Potd is for dps because of the wait times that heal/tank do not have
PotD is only really faster if your dungeon queue times are 15 minutes or longer
There is no Cleric Attire Coffer in your inventory at all?
I did all my stuff besides what I have on is level 1
Have you finish the Heart of the Forest quest?
Hey everyone, saw some people with dyed drachen armor on dragoon but can't dye mine, could someone tell me how to do it please?
No that's the next one I get at 52
ooo yeah, the lv 1 jewelry has a good stats
have you tried the recommended gear button? 🤔
maybe there's something you missing
like you have it but you haven't wore it
Oh no I did that one
ic ic
I'm wearing the gear from that coffer
Can you please just screenshot your character page with your currently equipped gear
All armors from said coffer should be i90
@rich flume either use items to Augment your Drachen armor (not recommended, waste of gils), or get Wyrm gear (same model) from your level 50 Job quest
Use /isearch cleric
That's fine
You have a Cleric's Attire Coffer in your inventory
Where is the chest piece?
You must do
Hover over one
No, you should've gotten a chest piece
But my item level is too low for castrom meridianum
We know
Ok
We are trying to look for your i90 gear
Yes we know and were telling you the game doesnt gate you there
@warped nest thanks, I put the wyrm gear in my armory, the metallic light blue one, but can't dye it in glamour plates?
whm chestpiece is locked behind lv 50 job quest right?
It does
Hover over a piece of blue gear and tell us the name or screencap it
Yes its like that for all the base jobs
Castrum has a minimum iLvl of 42, and he's 37
@rich flume you can dye glamour plate
You got him to press the wrong button
well, body and legs are the most important part
No I didn't
Its the button nexr to it
We know, and i90 armors are more than enough to get them to there
Tthe arrow probably confused him
That's just his cursor being in the way, don't blame me
definitely missed the job 50 quest
I'm sure I'll get it next quest lmao thanks tho
That's not the Cleric gear
Hmm..
Check your inventory
Yeah no that is not the i90 stuff my man
I will ask again
Yeah I give up lol
Have you finish Heart of the Forest quest
If your armoury is full then it won't recommend new gear
oo good to know
Take a screenshot if you are not sure
I can't dye it
I have the MSQ and under I have Taint misbehaving
Type /isearch cleric
that's job 50 job quest 😂
@rich flume I gave made a mistake, only augmented Drachen can be dyed
Thats the next one, heart of forest is the 50
You haven't done the job quest yet
Very sorry about the misinformation
Yeah, heart of the forest rewards benediction and the coffer theyre talking of
@rich flume to augment Drachen, you need to acquire Drachen armor Augmentation (item) then trade Drachen armor and the item to an NPC. For more details, I recommend using Garlandtools (website), search for Drachen armor, click one of the piece, then look at Sources and Uses subsection
i really think it's what spoody said, his inventory is full 😂
I did theres no results
Thanks!
Can I see your inventory
That's a very good site to look up for items btw
or armoury is full
So keep it handy

!item cleric's attire coffer

is thjer eany real use to fishing? money making maybe?
i think the rainbow fish worths millions
ok thats good to know
Does a dyeable version of the level 60 job gears exist?
yes
Where can I find it?
its bought with centurio seals in ishgard
thank you
I realise I'm missing something incredibly obvious, but where do I get the Yokai mounts? Not asking the requirements, just how to get them when I have fulfilled those reqs.
Achievement guy in gridania north of the amphitheatre
Can I safely sell all of these low level questing pots? Do they get used in DoH recipes?
Potions, Hi-Potions, Antidote etc
1: yes
2: I don't think so? You can buy them for cheap from a lot of vendors anyways
You can sell em, i like to keep stuff like spine drops/echo drops for my own sanity when healers refuse to esuna but yea
Eureka vendors sell all of those
Excellent, they're crowding my bags real bad
i just choosed the light role but i forgot what server i am, where do i see that? XD
should be displayed in the top right of the screen in-game, unless you turned it off
yeh, just carry phoenix down, boiled egg and gysahl green for daily need
should be displayed in the top right of the screen in-game, unless you turned it off
@hasty musk how do i turn it on D:
everything should be in char config -> ui settings -> hud
^
Light
thaumaturge, sounds like
yes!
you can always open your character menu to see what class you are currently
lots to learn in this 10+year old game (including 1.0 anyways).. don't feel bad asking what may seem like silly questions. Chances are there is an easier way to do the things.
thanks :D
This game isn't 10 y.o yet 😉
Lich is a good server, I play on it
@young fjord if you want we can lern this game together o3o
1.0 started service September 30th, 2010, which is why i said including that.. 2013 for ARR, iirc
Not online right now, however I suggest that you try to get into the novice network, there are a lot of good people in there to help you
i dont really know anything i just saw a 20€ version with all dlc and 30 days playtime
and bought it
just went for it, huh
you made a good choice sis
i also saw alot people using flying mounts can i fly through the map with it or just a smol area
i started in august and haven’t not played a single day since lol
You can fly, but later on
When you've done quests up until level 50
im lv 25 o3o
You can fly in most non instanced areas, however they require you do complete the main quest to a certain point
you can fly through ARR areas upon reaching the end of the base game
oh
I believe, anyway
In expansion areas you can fly after doing quests in them and collecting what is called aether currents
it unlocks after you finish ARR
that's how you unlock mounts normally
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
well yeah that will tell you everything haha
oh
It being a final fantasy title means it's a story driven game so generally if the question is: how do i unlock X? The answer is usually: do more msq
grand companies
deffo put the compass on your hotbar it has saved my life
he tought i am trolling XD
when you get it that is
That'll unlock mounts, but not flying
basically, you'll be asked to choose a grand company to join at a certain point in the story, and afterwards you'll get a quests to unlock mounts
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
Maelstrom Lieutenant gear looks kinda nice imho
Flames = Military
Maelstorm = Navy
Serpents = Snoop dog
that is just a normal robe iirc
I think the serpents do have that robe
Yeah, it's called "Cotton Cowl"
But the model is used on other gear too
oh
There's a bunch of gear using that model in fact
If you wanna decide your GC based on gear I recommend looking at the first 3 armour sets in the link above
Those are the most distinct
specifically that one is Serpent Private's Cowl
No, plus you can change later
it says gridania privates cowl in the pic
the main ones that are unique to each GC is the first three on that link
so ya
The first 3 are the respective lieutenant gear sets which are the only unique ones, all the others just have different colour schemes

you can always change gc in the future if you want another gcs outfit
Quick question, when should I bother with Palace of the deads?
but you’ll start from the beginning
Whenever you want Gemini
It's not mandatory content, but nice for levelling alt jobs
It's basically an old school dungeon crawl with randomly generated floors
If that sounds like something you would enjoy, do it
Cool, cool
The closest is the /sh
That is for shout
That one is for everyone in the entire zone
use the community finder on the website
/y is yell, that is for everyone in a large proximity around you
to find a fc
Is it worth shuffling if I already got one line?
Novice Network is a world chat for new players and mentors, though people don't generally like FC searching/ads in there
@gentle quarry
Hey if I buy 2x 6 month subscription, does it stack for 1 year?
note free trial players cannot use /shout or /yell chat
When do dailies reset?
!reset
0 Days, 4 Hours, 9 Minutes, 15 Seconds
0 Days, 9 Hours, 9 Minutes, 15 Seconds
2 Days, 21 Hours, 9 Minutes, 15 Seconds
2 Days, 21 Hours, 9 Minutes, 15 Seconds
0 Days, 15 Hours, 9 Minutes, 15 Seconds
0 Days, 8 Hours, 9 Minutes, 15 Seconds
0 Days, 1 Hours, 9 Minutes, 15 Seconds
use !daily instead
@young fjord wher'd you get that pic from?
@leaden ginkgo you can't stack above 6 months of sub time saved up at once
ty
If you already have 6 months of time remaining on your account, it won't let you buy more.
Ah ok thx
are there any guild benefits?
i know you can marry and get a ring where u can tp
Marriage (Eternal Bonding) is completely unrelated to being in a Free Company
food buffs?
FCs can own a FC house, and can put up FC buffs that affect all players in them.
free companies have buffs that they can enable, like reduce tp cost or increase xp gain from combat
like in monster hunter
Two buffs at once.
Eating food gives you an exp buff
with more damage?
of 3%
and also stats depending on the food
different food give different stats
Free company food buff is just "makes food effect last longer"
it does not make the buff stronger.
Most FC use the "More exp buff" and "Cheeper teleport buff"
My experience is that most Free Companies use combat exp buff and either crafter or gatherer exp buff.
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Free_Company_Action here are all the possible free company buffs
a free company may have two FC buffs active at once
they also must actively purchase and refresh the buffs every 18 hours
Pretty much all food in game give the exp buff, so what I have done is just bought a stack of "cheep trash food" from a NPC vendor
That way I pretty much always have a 3% extra exp buff on me
All foods give exp buff.
There are some event foods which does not iirc
yeah my bad, it was the other way around
some event food don't give stats
just exp boost
You have a company symbol which some gear can have on them
My free company symbol look like this
You can add an FC crest to gear but be aware that FCs are primarily social constructs.. you could run content with folks from your FC such as raids, dungeons, dailies etc.
Gear with this symbol can have the company crest to it
free company
aka Guilds
But there isnt any like... Exclusive-to-FC content
ohh
Oh sorry FC is free company which is a guild basically
nah i want a real guild o3o
I mean all the classes in this game have you join their guild when you unlock them
narratively, anyway
Free Company = Guild you create you other players
Grand Company = The Military braches of each city state you get to pick one color of
Class Guilds = What is essentialy training grounds for each respective class
thats too much for my smol brain XD
so only the gc is from the game
and fc and cg are created by other players?
No no the class guild is part of the game and features in the story.
cg is game related, it's where you do quests and learn new abilities
oh
Player "guilds" in this game are called Free Companies = FCs
Grand Companies are the three NPC country factions
The actual word guild in this game refers to the NPC schools that teach you your class and give you class quests.
alright!
e.g. Archers' Guild
yes there is a Marketboard
Like Auction house but no auction jus a straight price
and players can put up items there
where can i check it out o3o
In any major cities in the vendor areas
So Limsa/Gridania/Ull'dah if you just started
Limsa lominsa is the most easily accessible to the aetheryte
Note the marketboard is inaccessible to Free Trial players
Nah she bought it
OKAY THANBKS
ops sorry
i have 2 weird questions XDD
i pressed rightclick somehow and changed it into this
how do i turn it back
and where can i open my skill guilde i accidently deleted my first spell XDD
yes it is!
thanks
and how do i change the second skill back
XD
like the hud thing
what's the difference between sunrise orchestrion or crimson sunrise orchestrion
i want the part where she sings
They're different songs
im looking for suzakus theme
@leaden ginkgo Go to System > Character COnfiguration
@leaden ginkgo I didn't realise that was alterable through the right-click menu? Anyway go to character config (K on keyboard by default)
the Hotbar on the left
^ that's the stuff
yea i dont know either i pressed rightclick on the 1
where you can change the skill bar
If you tick the "Enable Drag & drop reposition" you can drag the bars around
I would also recommend disabling both "Display hotbar numbers" and "Enable hotbar cycling button"
TIL hotbar configurations are toggleable
because there's not really any benefit to either of them and they just end up causing annoyances when you accidentally click them
yes
You probably misclick the options on the right of this section, changes the number of rows
in system config > HUD layout
also like I said above
I would also recommend disabling both "Display hotbar numbers" and "Enable hotbar cycling button"
because there's not really any benefit to either of them and they just end up causing annoyances when you accidentally click them
like what's just happened to you, for example
Press K
if hotbar cycling is disabled then it'll never come up anyway
untick everything except the first one (or two if you prefer)
that's all good yes
looks fine to me 🙂
can also select Hide Unassigned Slots if you wish
makes empty slots invisible for a neater appearance
Oh also click this lock here on your hotbar
The right side
so you don't accidentally drag your spells away
^ Though you will need to unlock it whenever you want to move skills around
I'd strongly recommend you customise your HUD, because the default one is pretty bad
i cant find these symbols
which one?
Oh also click this lock here on your hotbar
@gentle quarry the sword things
yep on your original hotbar on the right
ooooh sorry those are my dragoon spells
you wont have them
Those are not relevant
the fuck is happening now
when i move my fps are at like 5
XD
or when i move my cam
try and lower the graphic setting for a sec anyway in case it's that
what minions are obtainable from retainer ventures? mainly just SB and earlier
i just restart it
dont know how to change the graphic settings
yeah everything normal again
aight i activated the lock

@tidal yarrow 7S books only. 6S books only buy Glaze.
Both twine and ester require 7S books
oh dang
Hi! I have a question on limit break, when I press it there’s nothing going on and it showed me to adjust the R1+L ( I don’t remember exactly) to excute and I saw on the floor an orange circle. During the boss fights it’s was so intense that I never really had time to test it so I ask here.
If you're a magical dps, you need to place the LB when you use it
i.e, Summoner, Red Mage, or Black Mage
LB?
LB = Limit Break
Yes I’m blm
You need to place it on the ground where you want it.
I placed few times and pressed on it nothing happened
Idk then, probably did it wrong
Ooo
I don't play with a controller so I can't help you with that
I point my mouse and left click
Still thanks

Real quick, what's the name of the Shadowbringers boss theme?
I know only “to the edge” one, others can add
Hello! Stupid question: What is the difference between e.g. "General purpose Jet Black dye" and simply "Jet black dye"? Thanks! 🙂
no functional difference
But one is gotten via buying it on mogstation, the other can be a reward for retainer ventures
Also one is tradable, the other isn't
So you can't just buy stuff on mogstation and turn it into gil
The mogstation/RAF reward one isn't tradable yeah
I see, thank you for the quick reply 😄
Bottom line is that both look exactly the same
It doesn't give gear...
However, MSQ roulette gives a massive amount of exp and poetics.
They don't "farm" it
Ummm
er
What?
if by tokens you mean the Poetics currency
then yeah
you can buy a lot of things with that
including gear which is extremely relevant
the best gear for level 50, 60 and 70 characters
Which everyone wants when leveling through those level ranges
and various other stuff purchasable with poetics
so the poetics are a good reason to run MSQ roulette
but even more desired by most people is the massive glut of exp that MSQ roulette gives.
Is it a waste to spend it on 50 gear?
No
No
I assume I should save the tokens for 60 or 70?
It will last you into lvl 55/56 story
ah gotcha
Poetics aren't that hard to come by
Btw, how do we get lvl 50 gathering gear?
and they're a currency, not tokens
I got to lvl 50+ with my botanist
Buy lvl 51 gear from NPC or make it yourself
There is artisan gear available from Grand Company Seal exchanges...but honestly I'd recommend you just hit level 51 and buy level 51 gear
from regular vendors
It is a two step process
Check the NPC next to your current NPC
You trade Allagan Tomestone for Poetics for I-forgot-the-name, then trade 10 of those for weapons
(7 if you are Paladin)
Do l need any special software to play with a PS controller?
ah gotcha
@dawn mountain nope, should be a simple plug in and play
this might be a silly question, but a PS3 controller should be fine right?
should be fine
Wait, so it says I need rowana tokens, after I bought the main weapon for 600 allagans
cool thanks
