[cedar compass]

fastest way to gear up to savage without spending gil after finishing msq?

farm normal raid?

[little swift]

It comes in a full set @leaden ginkgo

Buy neo ishgardian

That's the fastest

[wintry chasm]

Shadowbringers relic questline for weapon, farm tomestones, and raids for other gear and work up from there Reet

[cedar compass]

without spending gil

[little swift]

And get relic

Spamming normal raid is fine

The e5 to8

Normal drop 480 tokens

[cedar compass]

thanks

[wintry chasm]

also you'll want to do the latest 24-man raid fight

[sweet leaf]

I don't know how to do the quest Ninja Bathin'

it says hide, and i use hide, but the enemies still spot me

[faint flare]

Hide as in, go hide behind something

[sweet leaf]

???

oh i see

the bats don't see with their eyes, so i have to around them

but i can't tell how wide their detection is

wow, it's so hard to avoid them

[carmine oyster]

I know that on preferred worlds you get more exp. so it seems beneficial. are there also some disadvantages of playing on a preferred world ?

[sweet leaf]

i would say that getting to level 80 before you even reach Stormblood can be a huge disadvantage for certain thinks like Wondrous Tails

which is what happened to me

[carmine oyster]

ok so it is better to not play on a preferred world?

[sweet leaf]

no, wondrous tails is still doable, you just have to spend more retry points than you'd like

[open ember]

New players are better off on a preferred world

[sweet leaf]

for everything else i can think of, it's a boon to play on a preferred world

[open ember]

Because of road to 70 buff

[carmine oyster]

but will you not outlevel content?

[sweet leaf]

you get synced to everything important anyway

[open ember]

Its not bad to be out leveled

[sweet leaf]

you're only overleveled for mobs and other fights, which makes them a breeze

[open ember]

If you feel like you're being out leveled, play a different class

Like an alt class

[carmine oyster]

ok

then i go with a preferred world

thanks

[open ember]

Np

Here

!preferred Chaos

[zinc orbit]

Information

List of preferred worlds for Chaos:
Louisoix
Spriggan

[open ember]

There you go

[carmine oyster]

thanks

[open ember]

Light doesn't have any preferred servers, so stick to chaos

[carmine oyster]

ok

[faint flare]

Murphys law

Or whatever its called

[patent citrus]

for me it's when i start to complain in novice network

[faint flare]

Just a coincidence not an actual coded thing

[patent citrus]

works multiple times

"queue is over 30 mins, please help" queue popped

[little swift]

Thats confirmation bias

There's no hard coded queue bait trolling

Its confirmation bias

That is all

[faint flare]

And no way to tell when it will actually pop

[manic flare]

what is a healer check?

for boss fights

[wintry chasm]

Usually something along the lines of "Healers need to heal everyone to prevent some sort of wipe"

[faint flare]

When there's massive amount of damage going out rapidly and the healer needs to heal it quickly

Or you die

[wintry chasm]

Like a DPS check but healing instead of damage

[faint flare]

Mechanics that reduce youe health to one abd require full healing, constantly pulsing aoes are types of heal checks

[open ember]

For example:
Thunder God cleansing strike

• need to heal 100% in order to remove doom

This is a heal check

Or if your HP drops cuz of a roomwide aoe healers are responsible for topping you off to safe levels

If you don't heal then you prob wipe

Heal checks depend on the fight

[patent citrus]

just like use all my seraph cd? 😂

will that be enough

[open ember]

Pfffff

[manic flare]

what is a position check?

[wintry chasm]

Mix of DPS queues and also just because wait times are never going to be consistent

[south bloom]

rip DPS Queues

[patent citrus]

time to do those yokai event 😂

perfect opportunity

[manic flare]

or do diadem

[patent citrus]

pretty sure you can't get in

while you queueing for duty

since diadem is a duty itself

[faint flare]

A slight difference maybe but regardless how many jobs each role has, you cant force people to play that role

[manic flare]

what's the ratio of dps to healer to tank in the game population?

[faint flare]

Like when they added new tanks, only a few amount of people actually stuck with it outside of just levelling them all to cap

So the general population of tanks didn't increase much

People prefer to play DPS in general because its seems the easiest role st face value and doesn't have big responsibilities outside of "smack boss dont die"

Also big numbers go brrr

[slate arrow]

people think DPS don't have responsibilities because they're just supposed to slap the boss

[faint flare]

Tis why i said at face value

[slate arrow]

but I expect DPS to be getting more mechanics and responisbilies , especially in the next expansion

[manic flare]

the summoner has responsibility to raise people when they die

so does red mage

[patent citrus]

yeah is it really like that? or is it subjective thing?

like how people think dps has no responsibility

[slate arrow]

subjective

[south bloom]

You still have to do mechanics

[slate arrow]

in mechanic heavy phases especially

for example, TEA

DPS can't just go haha dps go brrrt

if one falls, it's likely a wipe

especially in Codex phase

I think, anyways.

[wintry chasm]

the summoner has responsibility to raise people when they die
so does red mage
Only in specific circumstances like both healers dying

[little swift]

There arent any super big dps checks in normal content

[wintry chasm]

Those are easy checks generally

[faint flare]

The first boss has a soft dps check with the floor filling with void death squares but you never see it all filled unless youe party is literally garbage

Second boss doesn't really

3rd boas has with the adds but those are easy as hell

[little swift]

Alliance raids have very lenient checks

Do your mechanics correctly

[obsidian patio]

If it was the first boss they have instant kill moves

Either being flung off the arena, getting hit by the death circle that pulls you in, not getting the doom debuff cleansed, or standing in the squares when they light up

[little swift]

That is player fault though

Not enough in stack is a player error

Should have just sacced whoever had the marker and raised them

Or brought the stack into the group

You're not absolved of responsibility here

[rigid narwhal]

then if no one else was stacking, you shouldn't have

[little swift]

Youre focusing on the wrong part of my point

Your decision still led to your death

That means you could have done something to change that

It's that simple

[shrewd mirage]

annyone knows the quest that comes after "steeel against steel"? gnb quest

[wintry chasm]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gunblades_of_the_Patriots Kiera

[little swift]

Depends on the situation moltres

[opaque niche]

if its a really old duty or trial or whatever you can probably face tank it and survive if its like current content then yeah i would just do the mechanics

[faint flare]

Depending on group dps you can ignore the gate

[wintry chasm]

People say DPS through it because there is no reason to do the mechanic if you can just kill it before it matters

[obsidian patio]

If you kill the boss fast enough the doors can be entirely ignored

[little swift]

Yah if people hit the boss enough you can kill it before it matters

[obsidian patio]

They’ll only explode once which doesn’t really matter

[little swift]

Just like in labyrinth of the ancients you can kill phlegothon before second ancient flare

Ilvl trivializes a lot of older mechanics

[faint flare]

Its all situational awareness, judging the party and seeing how fast the boss is dying and how many people are really needed for a mechanic

And whether the mechanic matters or not

[wintry chasm]

Look for s in Ruby Sea

[faint flare]

There is

Probably hidden under some yellow quests because the underwater settlements are packed

One is a optional dungeon

Open your map

And zoom in

And look around

[obsidian patio]

Might need to do more of the MSQ. Looks like you’re still stuck in the Ruby Sea story-wise

[faint flare]

I think his one is closer to the end, cause that quest unlocks HoH

Which is towards the end

[signal mist]

Hey, I changed my phone today and when I tried logging in on the security token app for the one time password it won’t let me. Is there a way I could remove that from my account? Otherwise I won’t be able to play.

[obsidian patio]

According to Heavenswhere, the 2nd and 3rd quest currents are in Tamamizu and Onokoro

“The Sword in the Stone” and “Pulling Double Booty”

[signal mist]

Anyone able to answer my question?

[rigid narwhal]

do you have your old phone?

[wintry chasm]

Anyone able to answer my question?
You should have saved the emergency one time password removal code when you first got the one time password system

You can use that to remove the one time password system from your account

otherwise have to go through support

[sour ruin]

Anyone know how to use the item search function without having a copy of that item to right click on? My friend has misplaced an item he got from mog station

[wintry chasm]

/itemsearch XXXXXX

[sour ruin]

thx

[obsidian patio]

Looks like you already accepted it

In your earlier picture

[signal mist]

do you have your old phone?
@rigid narwhal no, I traded it in.

[oblique trellis]

Where does one buy Krakkas? The only thing I'm finding is them as a quest reward

[rigid narwhal]

then you'll have to go through security, if you didn't save the one time removal code

[faint flare]

Yes

Iirc

[obsidian patio]

@oblique trellis you have to grow them in a garden

[faint flare]

Quest sync usually signals beast tribe

[obsidian patio]

Or buy off the marketboard

[oblique trellis]

ok thx

[robust notch]

Anyone know of a look-a-like Seeing Horde weapon for GNB?

[obsidian patio]

With the glow, no

[faint flare]

Like a dark, glowing weapon?

[robust notch]

Ye

[faint flare]

Cause glows are limited

[robust notch]

[obsidian patio]

But somewhat close in style is the deepshadow weapon

[faint flare]

There's like 3 glowing weapons

For gnb

[little swift]

4

[obsidian patio]

!iglam deepshadow manatrigger

[little swift]

Tea 2 crafted potd

[obsidian patio]

Oh yeah the kinna

[robust notch]

Kinna? hmm

Nice glow, but ugly red

[faint flare]

Underneath you

Its in the cave leading to Tamazu

[robust crow]

have you checked below

[faint flare]

Or just port to tamazu and walk out through the cave you come in from

[cold cove]

As a noob maybe this is a dumb question but is the 6% damage buff of the astrologian good? Isn't it low?

[faint flare]

Yes

All damage buffs are good

Its literally free

And stacks ontop of all other buffs

[dawn yarrow]

hey, is it possible to rank higher than captain in your chosen GC?

[faint flare]

No

[dawn yarrow]

may i ask what info is available on that please?

[faint flare]

Squadrons had the last ranks up

No more after that

[dawn yarrow]

gotcha, so presumably there for hypothetical future content

thanks very much!

[faint flare]

There's already other ranks listed

Just inaccessible

[verbal rune]

So what exactly is mimicry?

[silk summit]

Aside from the roulette bonus is pvp still good for leveling

Or would I be better off just doing dungeons

[twilit arch]

mimicry basically like a stance

if you target a player who is currently a tank, you gain aetherial mimicry: tank which increases defense and increases certain blu mage spells

[verbal rune]

And it's another blu spell?

[twilit arch]

etc

[faint flare]

Use sprint to help make the jump

[twilit arch]

yep

[faint flare]

Its a tight jump

But possible

[wintry chasm]

That turtle who is trying to get that sword is right, the jump is literally impossible! I fall just short EVERY time
the pillars in the cave? Frankly this is truly a "get good" moment

There isn't really a trick

[verbal rune]

How do you get it? Can't seem to find it on the guide

[wintry chasm]

though sprint would help

[faint flare]

Its Aetherical mimicary

From Pharos sirus hard first boss

[twilit arch]

its learned from the mob gharh luminary in pharos sirius (hard)

[verbal rune]

Fuck

I run the dungeon and didn't get the spell

[faint flare]

Synced?

[verbal rune]

Yeah

[faint flare]

You need to let tethers resolve

[verbal rune]

Probably didn't let the guy use it

[faint flare]

Because the skill is that tether

So dont nuke the boss immediately

Let the tethers resolve and spawn adds

Then nuke

Walk around the platform, triggers can be weird

Or just do it again

Also again

[wintry chasm]

Or

What does the quest say?

[faint flare]

Be patient

[rigid narwhal]

you need to do another jump

there's another glowing area

did you use a mount to get there?

or sprint?

[vapid scroll]

is there somewhere i can bank my items/gear?

[verbal rune]

Oh, wait

[soft flicker]

is final fantasy having any connection issues?

i keep disconnecting from the server

[verbal rune]

There are 2 pharos sirius dungeons?

[faint flare]

Yes. Normal and hard mode

[rigid narwhal]

i'd go and try to make the jump again

[faint flare]

@vapid scroll retainers are banks

[rigid narwhal]

see if that triggers it

[verbal rune]

Ah

That explains a lot

[dawn yarrow]

@vapid scroll chocobo saddlebags too

[vapid scroll]

ight

thx

[verbal rune]

When do you unlock hard mode?

[faint flare]

Its lv60

And you need to have done normal mode

[verbal rune]

Ah, makes sense

Of course

[rigid narwhal]

i would try relogging

and then doing it again

cos you're not in a sanctuary

[soft flicker]

does anyone know why im continuously losing connection to server? like i cant even get on the game

[proud willow]

I would suggest checking a video of someone doing the quest, as you may be taking the wrong route or something. there should be no jumps in it that are very difficult to make

[rigid narwhal]

you're not doing it right

work it out

[proud willow]

There is not much we can tell you... it's a jump

[sleek roost]

-banid 305836665270960129 We have asked you countless times to mind the demanding way you speak to others.

[steep rune]

🔨 Banned MoltresRider#0334 indefinitely

ok finally i can connect to the game, so strnage how i couldnt for like 20 min o.o

[sleek roost]

There might be some localized pathing issues going on atm, Reddit has been cutting in and out all morning

[soft flicker]

😮 regarding me connecting you mean?

[sleek roost]

Possibly. I haven't seen anyone else talking about it impacting FFXIV though

[soft flicker]

gotcha... yeah its being weird. like even my launcher is slow

[vestal needle]

why does party exp work only hs?

did it take it out in future content

[faint flare]

No, if you're not getting xp in a party then someone is too higher/low of a level

Leviathan, ramuh and shiva are all ||post ARR?||

[twilit arch]

yes

[warm trellis]

What’s a fast way to get Gil

[young yarrow]

Materia selling works well if you can do hunts

[dawn yarrow]

what does 'Static' actually mean please?

it's like a raiding community as i understand it but not actually sure

[wintry chasm]

A group of people who come together to do raids and stuff

[dawn yarrow]

great! and specifically distinct from FCs

[wintry chasm]

Right

some FCs can of course have statics in their FC

but it's not strictly an FC thing

and usually isn't, least not entirely

[dawn yarrow]

very much appreciated, have wondered that for years:)

[wintry chasm]

For example my static is half people from my FC and half others we got in

[wispy parcel]

@warm trellis Most consistant way in the long run is leveling crafters and gatherers. You'll never have to worry about gil again

but short term treasure maps are great for a nice boost

[vale brook]

Issue my sprout friend is having: “welp for some reason i can't so leves above 10 even tho i'm 23 soo 😐 dont matter”

Anyone know why this might be?

[verbal rune]

So quick question

The clothes used by some GC npcs can't be bought?

Like, tor example, the npcs that open FC

[twilit arch]

did they unlock the levemetes for different towns?

because the level of the leves is dictated by the town its situated in

[vale brook]

Oh, right. So he might be asking a settlement levemete. Totally forgot about those, I only used the main cities.

Edit:Thank you.

[shrewd mirage]

is there a way so i can lock my sets so i dont accidently sell anything valuable? or

[wintry chasm]

yes

there should be a drop down menu near the top

and you can select it so it doesn't show items used in gearsets

[shrewd mirage]

where?

[wintry chasm]

So for example here

on expert delivery

you can "hide gear set items"

[shrewd mirage]

OOOOOO

thank youu!

this is so helpful

[wintry chasm]

I learned this mistake when I accidentally sold a ring I used and dropped my ilvl too low so I couldn't do the content that just came out back in HW

[shrewd mirage]

so sorry for you 😦

[verbal rune]

Also is the stuff you can buy with allied seals the same with different GC?

[twilit arch]

there's GC specific gear that can be bought with allied seals

the Storm/Flame/Serpent Elite sets

but outside of that, they're the same

[verbal rune]

But with those, they change the color only, right?

[twilit arch]

no

they are unique outfits

[verbal rune]

Ah

[wintry chasm]

For example

(ignore the bottom right)

[twilit arch]

https://www.ffxivcollection.com/where/allied-seal/

ignore the top 6 sets

the bottom sets are the Elite GC sets

[verbal rune]

(ignore the bottom right)
@wintry chasm i'm aware of those

But yeah, I was referring to the ones Kael posted

[wintry chasm]

Oh

[verbal rune]

Also... is the company tabard a thing or not?

[twilit arch]

yeah its a crafted item

[verbal rune]

So it's the same as the nps ones, but without the GC emblems?

[stable hinge]

If I delete a character does the character name become available again for a new one?

[twilit arch]

uhh

yeah, OIC npcs are wearing company tabards

yes, Hikari

[stable hinge]

Thanks

The Uldah one looks a lot better I might have to switch from limsa/maelstrom or whatever its called

[verbal rune]

I dunno

I prefer limsa lominsa ones

[potent shale]

dumb question , but does choosing between Anogg and Konogg matter?

[twilit arch]

nope

[stable hinge]

the following quest will either be you win or you lose

but the story goes pretty much the same kinda

[twilit arch]

ultimately tho comes out to the same outcome

[faint flare]

"head, i win, tails you lose"

[sharp hound]

is anyone else having issues with the launcher rn?

[vapid scroll]

Can i join my F2P friend's party queue/party? I have the complete ed

[open coral]

They can join yours

You have to invite them to a party, they can't invite you

Unless they're already in an instance, in which case you'll have to play in-progress roulette for that instance.

[weak flume]

If I manage to buy a house how many people can I give access to it? Like, installing a Chocobo stable and having them be able to put their bird in it

[faint flare]

3 tenants

[sudden lintel]

hi guys, how long is PoTD with new people?

the highest i got was fl 20 lol

[open coral]

Depends on the group. Most people just spam run floor 51-60 rather than running 1-whatever.

There are 200 floors in total

[honest anvil]

why are neo ishgardian gears higher ilevel but have lower stats than deep shadow gears?

[open coral]

Because they're the crafted tier that came out after Deepshadow was released.

[honest anvil]

but is deepshadow still better? @@

[open coral]

It's relative

[twilit arch]

if you buy NQ neo-ish, then yes deepshadow would be better

but if you buy HQ neo-ish, then no, its not

NQ gear is not good, for combat jobs

because they're not capped on main stats

[open coral]

Some of the (Augmented) Neo-Ish gear has better stat distributions than Deepshadow, etc. plus the crafted gear can be "overmelded" with up to 5 materia.

[twilit arch]

there's no reason to go with deepshadow if you can afford HQ neo-ishgardian gear

[open coral]

^

[honest anvil]

oh ye forgot crafted gears can be HQ

[flint bay]

that’s the beauty of crafting

[honest anvil]

What’s the general stats increase from NQ to HQ?

[twilit arch]

to continue using neo-ish. The katana's base stats are 502 str, 543 vit, 425 crit and 297 dh. HQ those become 558, 603, 472, 330

[honest anvil]

Tks all ^^

[sudden lintel]

@open coral ahh thank you, I don't think we'll be running through. because it would be their first time

[open coral]

In that case just remember that you'll hit aetherpool arm/armor walls at certain points, and will have to "reset" your run back to the 1st floor to get more aetherpool levels.

[agile night]

I've just started recently, been running through the main quests and noticed I'm quite overleveled for them now. Game scales me down so it works, but find the scaling odd. I've done a couple guild quests too. Does the game intend for me to be changing classes a lot?

[sudden lintel]

ah ok thanks king!

Or

Aura..

XD

[novel mason]

@agile night , I've also found this. I think it is to speed up leveling/burning through the MSQ. I have been trying to keep a second class around the same level as me (picked up Dancer and Gunbreaker once I got to 60 on my Paladin) and once my paladin got a few levels above MSQ I would swap to those until they caught up with Paladin. It's worked okay in that I'm now at the level 80 quests and my paladin is 80 and my dancer is 79. YMMV

[cobalt cliff]

Hello, I'm kinda new to the game I'm only level 55 and this is my first character and I was wondering how to you get/make glams ?

[wintry chasm]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[tired rover]

Hiya!

I have a question on which GC to go with

[wintry chasm]

Whatever you want

!faq grandcompany

[zinc orbit]

Grand Company FAQ

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:

Grand Company Gear

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.

[tired rover]

Is there a spot where I can check out what each GC wears glamour wise

[faint flare]

See the link

ohh

[silk summit]

That Flames tank(?) gear actually looks nice

Whatever the top sets are

[tired rover]

can one change GC later?

[agile night]

Oh right so I know this red symbol means they're aggressive, but they've stopped attacking now. I presume based on level, is it like their level +10 that they stop, or something similar?

[flint bay]

level+10, ya

[slate arrow]

you're right on the money actually

[little swift]

its 11 level difference

thats why things in SHB still attack you if you're 80

@wintry chasm Patch 3.4.

Okay then uh

[distant cradle]

Double checked and yes, thanks !

[short sparrow]

If it's supposed to be confusing at this point, that's fine.

[wintry chasm]

||https://youtu.be/2M8GwIvyrPk|| this is the cutscene you want

[lost grove]

Just wondering if there was one that's more profitable

[wintry chasm]

It is explained already

[short sparrow]

But I admit, I took HUGE breaks in playing the game so I'm kinda messed up on story details sometimes.

Oh that cutscene.

Yes I was a bit sleepy at the time, whoops.

Thank you.

[signal mist]

This question has more to do with the discord. Is the na datacenters channel the only place around here where you can ask for people to play with?

[tired rover]

Im on NA

Ultros

what lvl?

[signal mist]

I’m lvl 80 and I use sch

[crimson wind]

Use party finder

This isn't a great place to ask

[snow pasture]

Does anyone know if theres some kind of discord alert/website for Special FATES?

the ones that give glamour/minions/mount

[obsidian patio]

Centurio hunts discord keeps track of those usually

They’re in the #resources channel

In the encounters section

[snow pasture]

thank you very much

[short sparrow]

Regarding the story of (patch 3.2 spoilers) ||Zodiark and Hydelain|| even after going though that cutscene again I only about 2/3rds understand. 😅

[elfin gale]

does anyone know if FFXIV's battle themes are DMCA free?

[alpine heath]

What's the "/something" to target Duty list in a macro? Like for an hotbar if I want to make her appear/disappear, I do "/hotbar display 6 [on/off]", what's the equivalent of hotbar 6 to duty list?

Nvm found it

[dense hound]

I'm havin a small problem with SMN, mainly being that I'm on controller, and I regularly switch between action set 1 and 2 with the R1 button. However, whenever I have the pet out, the game auto-switches between whatever my thing is and the pet action set. Is there any way to get rid of the pet action bar, or change things so that I can switch between set 1 and 2 without the pet hotbar gettin in the way?

[faint flare]

Character config > hotbar > cross i believe

[honest anvil]

advanced melding forbidden = you cant meld 5 materias right?

[agile laurel]

means you can't overmeld

[faint flare]

Cant meld over the guaranteed slots present

[honest anvil]

so the regular version a neo-ishgardian piece can get overmelded, but the augmented version cant?

[faint flare]

Correct

[honest anvil]

so when i do the upgrade, do i lose the 3 materias i overmelded?

[obsidian patio]

You lose all the materia

[faint flare]

If you didn't retrieve them

[honest anvil]

@@ ...

[obsidian patio]

Your neo-Ishgardian gear essentially gets deleted when you turn it into tokens

[faint flare]

Upgrading/augmenting an item always loses any materia attached

As you're trading in the item for a new one

for Doh job class quests, do you get extra exp if you hand HQ items like you would for levequests?

no

so ultimately, is a pentameld regular neo-ish piece still worse than its augmented version with only 2 materias?

Is there a way to switch GCs? without getting rank of Second Lieutenan

Nope

[tired rover]

how do you go up in rank?

do the quests and hunt logs and get promoted with seals

[tired rover]

ok thought so

[vapid scroll]

i picked the wrong msq coffer for lv60 armor.. i cant do anything about it can i ?

i chose the wrong class but it didnt said what classes each coffer was

the shire gear is better anyway

oh wait

i see the mun

[spare bridge]

hey is the only way to get raid weapons to run the savage version of it?

[hasty musk]

what weapon are you trying to get @spare bridge

[spare bridge]

was looking into the alexander and eden weps and i was wondering if u only get them through running Savage

[hasty musk]

for eden, you can only get the edenchoir weapon from e8 savage, yes

it might be the same for alexander but I don't know for sure

the alexander weapons are from old content and not worth getting regardless

seems to be the same for alexander, yes

[spare bridge]

thx for the info, was just looking to collect'em cuz i like the look of'em ^^;

[hasty musk]

gotcha

[manic flare]

how many beast tribe quests do you guys get per day?

can u do 12 beast tribe quests every day?

[little swift]

12 leve allowances

so 12 quests total is the limit you can do

so plan around that when you do rank ups and such

[manic flare]

do beast tribe quests give good exp for leveling up alternate classes/

i've only been using the ixal one so far

[little swift]

yup they're a pretty good source for how quick they are

[manic flare]

but im wondering if i can use them to level up dps jobs

[faint flare]

Yes

[little swift]

ixal isn't for dps

[manic flare]

right i know

im talking about the others

[little swift]

but yes you can use them to level stuff once they reach the requisite level range

[manic flare]

why is the one item highlighted in orange?

[slate arrow]

it's the starred item

you get bonus rewards for turning it in

very powerful if you HQ turn it in

since it's effectively a 2.5 times bonus compared to normal rewards, I think? not sure the exact %

[faint flare]

Star is double

So 4x with HQ

Something happens when sky turns red and weather says Royal Levin? First time i see it

[rugged flicker]

Okay, what the fuck is going on here? Carbuncle Plushy normally offers the option to narrow down fish by the patch they were introduced in. That feature appears to be gone now.
https://ff14fish.carbuncleplushy.com/

Oh, it's been moved to an options menu popup.

[plain python]

some rewards from wonderous tail can be bought from market?

I wanna collect minions

any tips on overmelding?

Sacrfice lalas

[lost grove]

Are the nier raids easy for ppl new to it?

[faint flare]

24mans are casual content

Dont stand in bad

Dont touch what looks bad

Follow the group

[lost grove]

Ik that I still end up getting myself killed somehow xD

[honest anvil]

well, dying first couple times is to be expected i think ...

[faint flare]

Nier raids do alot with the arena so keep an eye out for surroundings

Follow the group if concerned

[lost grove]

Was farming it for my sam, drk and healers

To get them rdy for next patch

[honest anvil]

but go in blind as dps is probably better for everyone involved

[lost grove]

Oh so my sam?

Or smn

[honest anvil]

just your preference

[lost grove]

Well I mostly play sam as main dps

[honest anvil]

then go in with SAM ^^

[lost grove]

I am since I got his relic weapon in 2nd stg

[honest anvil]

But what Vinny said above is true: dont stand in bad, dont touch what looks bad, follow the group

and dying in your first couple times is normal but learn from it

[agile night]

sorry if this isn't the right place, but anyone aware of a sale on the game anywhere? (pc, non-steam) on the trial now still

[lost grove]

@honest anvil ye just want them strong enough for next tier

How does gear drops even work there

[hasty musk]

in puppet's bunker you can get one piece of gear per week

in copied factory it just works as normal

[lost grove]

What's the copies factory gear lvl?

[hasty musk]

460

puppet's is 490

[leaden ginkgo]

What good mmo mouse to buy

[lost grove]

Oh so I need puppet bunker for 495 gear set

[hasty musk]

no, 495 is from bozja

[lost grove]

Lul ye just realized that

I'm an idiot

Which will be better for now out of those two

[leaden ginkgo]

What's good mmo mousen

[hasty musk]

495 ilvl gear is technically better

[cedar compass]

Is potd still good for exp if you’re only 2 players

[hasty musk]

are you looking to do savage raids or no

[lost grove]

No

[cedar compass]

We play together at very dead eu times

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello??

[faint flare]

Yes

[cedar compass]

So dungeon queue times are bad

[hasty musk]

then 490 should be good enough to start with for the next tier

[faint flare]

With high aetherpool you can murder shit just as.fast

[leaden ginkgo]

What is a good mmo mouse to use for this game

[lost grove]

Ok how long will that take to farm

[little swift]

you don't need an mmo mouse to play this game

[cedar compass]

It helps a lot tho

[hasty musk]

you get one piece per week currently, so you probably won't be able to farm an entire set by next tier

[lost grove]

Oof

[leaden ginkgo]

@little swift it's 19x easier

[cedar compass]

Why do soy need high iLvl if you don’t raid

[hasty musk]

alternatively, if you have the money you can go buy neo-ishgardian gear off the market board and upgrade it

[faint flare]

You'll need minimum 480 ilvl

[leaden ginkgo]

U use logitech 600 that's a mmo mouse

[faint flare]

Probably

[little swift]

it really isn't any easier or harder

i don't use it for my keybinds

[faint flare]

For patch

[leaden ginkgo]

U have the number 1-12 on the side

I'm gonna use them

[lost grove]

@hasty musk have neo ish already

[little swift]

its bound to my party list

[lost grove]

On tanks healer and sam

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah that's op

[hasty musk]

then you're fine for next tier

[leaden ginkgo]

For beer that's broken

Healer*

[analog gate]

you can do bozja to get 495 gear, use augmented neo ish accessories, and relic weapon
all not time limited and should suffice

[leaden ginkgo]

Much easier to click 8 and heal then fking click them

[little swift]

i still manually click the party anyways sometimes

it really doesn't change the game

[faint flare]

Or just use F keys

[little swift]

whatever works for you works for you

[leaden ginkgo]

F keya

[lost grove]

Also wanna get glam for them from nier

[leaden ginkgo]

Are horrible

[faint flare]

Not really

[leaden ginkgo]

And feel uncomfortable

As fuck

[faint flare]

Depends on keyboard

[leaden ginkgo]

Hence I would get mouse that lets me press skills easily

Mmo mouse is broken

[cedar compass]

if you do PoTD

do you get skills from job quests that you havent done?

[faint flare]

Yes, you get all skills up to 60 if you have your job crystal on

[little swift]

but only inside the potd instances

it doesn't affect outside

[leaden ginkgo]

Time to be op

@little swift how many buttons does logitech 600 have

[little swift]

20 and gshift

[leaden ginkgo]

G?shift

[little swift]

its a modifier

for the mouse

lets you hold it

and use different binds for the side buttons

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh uh is that even good?

[little swift]

i use it a lot

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh so whichever u hold it does different inputs?

[little swift]

think of it like using shift ctrl or alt

but one built into your mouse to interact with your mouse

[wheat plume]

i've just received my first wondrous tail, but where can I see it in the menu? I'm searching but cant find it

[glacial isle]

The level 40-45 Miner Leves are in Ishgard the Observatorium right?

[gritty oracle]

key items

I think they are in whitebrim front

[leaden ginkgo]

@little swift yeah so how do h activate the gshift?

[glacial isle]

I think they are in whitebrim front
@gritty oracle where?

[gritty oracle]

Like, directly west of the entrance to ishgard

[little swift]

you press the button? just like you would shift ctrl or alt

[gritty oracle]

in the northwest corner of coe central

[glacial isle]

thx

[leaden ginkgo]

@little swift oh so u can switch it off or on?

[wheat plume]

dungeons and trials for WT can be done unsync?

[little swift]

yes they can khell

[manic flare]

what triggers precise touch exactly?

it is a random proc

[little swift]

no its litearlly like a shift key on your keyboard

[faint flare]

If its a good or excellent proc

Which is random

[little swift]

you hold it if you want it to activate

[wheat plume]

the 16 slots are the same for every player each week?

[faint flare]

No

[little swift]

no not always the same

[manic flare]

@faint flare so precise touch being available is random?

[little swift]

rewards are though

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

So how does it benefit me lmao if it's just a shift

I can hold shift on keyboard

[little swift]

its like a shift key

i never said it was

[leaden ginkgo]

Basically just a aextra macro button

[open coral]

Keyboard shift is different from gshift on your mouse

[leaden ginkgo]

How

[open coral]

Gshift only affects your mouse buttons. Keyboard shift only affects your keyboard.

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh yeah so basically I have to hold gshift and another button on my mouse I can't just tap it on and off

That's kinda weird

[open coral]

Not really?

[wheat plume]

what's the use for certificate of commendation in wt ?

[open coral]

It prevents you from mis-clicking because you accidentally activate your gshift when you don't mean to.

[little swift]

you can buy things with khloe

you can view what she sells in her menus

[obsidian patio]

Ranging from combat/crafting materia, minions, furniture, and a mount

[leaden ginkgo]

@open coral idk makes 0 sense too me I see the option to turn it off or on in the Logitech hub

[cosmic token]

can trial attend a wedding?

[open coral]

Yeah. You can disable the gshift entirely in the hub

So the gshift button on your mouse won't actually do anything but be extra

[leaden ginkgo]

Seems like a useless feature imo

Idek what the gshift button is

[open coral]

Which mouse do you have?

[manic flare]

how do i increase the chances of precise touch becoming enabled?

[open coral]

Which model

[obsidian patio]

@cosmic token yes

[cosmic token]

ty

[wheat plume]

how can i get gold certificate ?

[little swift]

get 3 lines

[leaden ginkgo]

@open coral I'm using logitech 500 or w.e I'm prob get 600

[open coral]

On my G600, it's to the right of the right mouse button, where my ring finger rests naturally on the mouse.

I don't know what the other models look like.

[wheat plume]

for 3 lines it only says 3 silver, but no gold

[leaden ginkgo]

@open coral so why would u use gshift can u give me a situation

Where u use it

[obsidian patio]

You don’t see the third column of rewards until you’re level 80

[wheat plume]

but can i receive them even if i dont see them?

[open coral]

You program the 12 thumb buttons without gshift for 12 abilities, then the 12 thumb buttons with gshift for 12 different abilities.

[obsidian patio]

No, you’ll need a new journal after hitting 80

[wheat plume]

ok, thxs

[open coral]

Which lets you easily access 24 abilities or keybinds with just 12 buttons.

[leaden ginkgo]

@open coral yeah but I have hold the gshift button

That shit is uncomfortable

On fucking 500

500 is a shit mmo mouse

[open coral]

I mean, that's a personal choice.

[leaden ginkgo]

Welp I'm a noob to.mkb

[open coral]

I don't use it at all when I play WoW. But over there I do everything with my keyboard instead, using the keyboard shift button the same way I would use my gshift if I used the mouse.

Basically everything I'd have programmed to gshifts if I used my mouse for keybindings is set to Shift + keybinds

[leaden ginkgo]

I just find the 1-12 mouse much easier and better

Yeah that's what I'm do

After doing shift 1-3 I'm uncomfortable

[open coral]

That only works for me because I don't use the mouse though.

If I used the mouse then I'd have the same things bound with gshifts instead

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm abuse gshift

Thanks

[open coral]

gshift is pretty easy once you get the hang of it

It's just a matter of practice (and having a mouse that fits your hand well)

[wheat plume]

the npc that sells gear for poetics in idyllshire has 2 lists, one of ilv240 and other of ilv 270. Is there any advantage with the 240s, why are they selling both of them?

[leaden ginkgo]

Well I'll have the gshift button right side or w.e and press the numbers on the left

Logitech 500 is clearly made for fps games

[open coral]

That's how you're meant to use it, yes. Hold the gshift button and press the thumb buttons...

[indigo vale]

Are there any horse type mounts? Sorry if this is the wrong channel to ask in

[wintry chasm]

Several

All of the ARR EX's except ||Odin, Ultima Weapon, King Mog|| drop horse mounts

[faint flare]

@wheat plume incase you want thr 240 for glamour

[wintry chasm]

and then there is the unicorn mount you get from a quest when you hit a level 30 conjurer

there is a couple on mogstation

one from Heaven on High

one from Palace of the Dead called Nightmare Pegasus

[wheat plume]

@wheat plume incase you want thr 240 for glamour
@faint flare where they obtained in other way and changed to this npc with a latter patch or something like that?

[wintry chasm]

Then there is a straight up pegasus which you should be able to be obtained by Ishgard restoration

etc etc

[gentle quarry]

The Primals dropped horses too, Ifrit, Ramuh, Levi

[wintry chasm]

Yeah I said that with "ARR EXs"

[gentle quarry]

oh missed that

[faint flare]

Yes, all poetic gear was originally brought with a different type of tomestonr and they rotate each patch

[indigo vale]

EXs?

[gentle quarry]

Extreme

[indigo vale]

Ah

Got quite a grind ahead then, thank y'all

[manic flare]

for the Ixal beast tribe quests that involve fishing, am i supposed to look for a destination marker?

or just fish in the water thats in the orange circle

[wheat plume]

Yes, all poetic gear was originally brought with a different type of tomestonr and they rotate each patch
@faint flare thxs. and the ilvl 270 gear are like ironworks from ARR ? is this what I should buy now? Im in msq 58

[faint flare]

Yes

Get shire

[wheat plume]

who sells shire weapons?

[faint flare]

The 3rd girl

On the right

[indigo vale]

You can buy Shire gear from said third girl on the right in Idyllshire

[leaden ginkgo]

Accidentally hid my FFXIV chat on PC, how do you unhide it?

[faint flare]

Enter

[indigo vale]

And, I believe, from any of Rowena's NPCs in various major cities, could be wrong on that

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh, thats literally it, lmfao

Ty

[faint flare]

Only sundry splendor in ishgard

[indigo vale]

I do know that the Rowena employee in Foundation sells Shire

Ye

[faint flare]

The original main 3 have ironworks

[tired rover]

Is a fc worth having a airship?

[edgy stirrup]

so I'm new to the game and i overpower these alligators by two levels and I still feel like I'm doing nothing is that normal?

[little swift]

whats your gear like

[faint flare]

Level means nothing

Gear matters much more

[edgy stirrup]

ahhh my gear is trash 😄

rockin a bone staff

[faint flare]

Levels only give you a small amount of stats

[little swift]

level just gates what gear your can wear

[indigo vale]

Make sure to buy gear from low level vendors like the guy on the Sapphire Avenue Exchange in Ul'dah

[little swift]

please don't buy gear from npc vendors

[crimson wind]

So turns out I really hate Gnashing Fang during e7s adds phase

[little swift]

for combat jobs

[indigo vale]

Never mind ig lol

[crimson wind]

Which tank handles it the best

[little swift]

the gear as gimped stats

[manic flare]

is it better to get gear from dungeons or from quests

[little swift]

probably paladin or warrior imo for that one wol

pally for easy movement

[silk summit]

I've bought gear before when my stuff is super outdated and I really don't feel like running a dungeon in old equipment

[faint flare]

Past heavensward it doesn't matter

[little swift]

war becausebraindead rotation

[crimson wind]

K

[wheat plume]

is there any npc in idyllshire who can transform antique gear into normal gear? like the guy in mordana

[faint flare]

Cause HQ gear is the same as dungeon gear

[edgy stirrup]

so what should i do

[little swift]

have you done any job quests

[faint flare]

Keep doing story and class quests

They give gear

[edgy stirrup]

im doing ms right now

[faint flare]

Do your class quests

They're just as important as story

[oak smelt]

is burden of the son soloable?
im trying but the orbs attached to me are insta death.
so mechanically speaking is it not possible to do unsynced?

[faint flare]

They give you skills

[edgy stirrup]

what is a class quest

im confuzzled

[faint flare]

Quests from your guild

They're tracked under the main scenario tracker

If you have one available

[silk summit]

...They are?

[faint flare]

They typically show every 5 levels until 50

Yes

[silk summit]

How have I never noticed this

[modest igloo]

small text

[manic flare]

there are many things in this game you won't notice right away unless someone tells you

[wheat plume]

one npc tells me I need approval from House of Splendors, how can I do that?

[manic flare]

for example i didn't even know green was a healer role

[faint flare]

House of splendors is for crafting and gathering

[silk summit]

Wdym, it's just green dps

[potent shale]

what are the best materia for SCH

[manic flare]

blue is color for tank

and red is for dps

someone had to tell me this

[glacial isle]

All colors are support roles for Black Mage :V

[faint flare]

@potent shale

[wheat plume]

House of splendors is for crafting and gathering
@faint flare and how and where can I get their approval?

[faint flare]

Level up to 50 and unlock collectibles with Inscrutable tastes in ishgard

[edgy stirrup]

hey any advice to get crystal sand after I already exhausted levequests?

can you farm mhachi farthing?

[glacial isle]

Do I need to complete some Master Miner quest to mine Darksteel Ore?

or can I just go mine it now at lvl 45?

[raw saddle]

Idk

I don't mine that much

[faint flare]

Thats in a unspoiled node iirc....nodes that say question marks are unspoiled

Which mean they only spawn once every 12 in game hours

[glacial isle]

so lvl 46

[fast talon]

Quick question, to unlock the heavensward allied beast tribe quest what rank do I have to be with each tribe?

[raw saddle]

Shit

[faint flare]

Its one star lv50 meaning its harder than normal

[raw saddle]

idk

[little swift]

gotta be bloodsworn with all of them @fast talon

[faint flare]

So you'll probably not have the stats

[little swift]

which is rank 8

[faint flare]

Or have a low gathering chance

[fast talon]

shit, i thought i just had to be rank 7 (the mount rank). so many missed days not doing them

[raw saddle]

Anyone know how to get a badass dragon mount?

[glacial isle]

I literally just need enough for the nugget

Then comes grinding Blacksmithing

[fast talon]

go to garlandtools.org and see what time darksteel ore spawns and where it spawns. rn it says the next node will spawn in 54 minutes

[raw saddle]

I really want a dragon mount so I need to know I only have a fucking chocobo lmao

[faint flare]

You get one via story

[raw saddle]

Fuck

I havent even finished arr

God damnit

[faint flare]

Story unlocks basically everything

[raw saddle]

Oki

Oh is the yo kai event still fucking going

[fast talon]

yeah

[faint flare]

Yes

Until December

[dense hound]

You get a dragon about 90% of the way through Heavensward's base content

[raw saddle]

Damn

[fast talon]

you got until patch 5.4 which is probably like mid december

[raw saddle]

Oh ok

[faint flare]

Well 99% of the base heavensward

Cause its given literally before rhe last quest

[fast talon]

lol youre not wrong

[faint flare]

Of base heavensward

[fast talon]

depending on your definition of dragon some of hte ARR beast tribes have dragon-like mounts

but the one you get in heavensward is straight up a dragon

[raw saddle]

You get a dragon about 90% of the way through Heavensward's base content
@dense hound fuck me I want to enjoy the story I've been playing for a month and I'm only half way through arr

[leaden ginkgo]

has anyone here done the hw relic? wondering what the best way to get crystal sand is after you've already done the leve method

[dense hound]

It's worth the time, I promise

[faint flare]

Then enjoy the story

[raw saddle]

I am

[dense hound]

The dragon in question is an excellent father.

[faint flare]

Shit aint going anywhere

[raw saddle]

Ik

But damnit I want a diffrent mount

[fast talon]

has anyone here done the hw relic? wondering what the best way to get crystal sand is after you've already done the leve method
@leaden ginkgo https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bsHZM-0sSdaajAwILUPbUSOsMzDiCP7o4DGb3-gQTog/edit?fbclid=IwAR3uoa9_BE-1wtEye_HJ1U4jzSJv22dQrTVR1nlG1Di_hTfPdv0wbVWcbPI#gid=0 this is the guide/cheat sheet i used for HW relic

[leaden ginkgo]

@fast talon thx

[fast talon]

easiest way to get crystal sand is with a gatherer

imo

[glacial isle]

@fast talon so I just need to wait an hour for the thing to spawn

will it disappear if i'm not there the moment it spawns or is it a generous timer?

[fast talon]

@fast talon so I just need to wait an hour for the thing to spawn
@glacial isle yeah pretty much, you can set an alarm in-game with /alarm if you need to

[faint flare]

Its up for 2 in game hours

[fast talon]

i forget how long it lasts but you dont have to be there when it spawns

[glacial isle]

who designed this

[faint flare]

You get 1 gathering session with unspoiled

[fast talon]

though i think with darksteel ore you get 3 per gather by default

[faint flare]

After interacting with the node and then closing it, its gone

[glacial isle]

how does alarm work?

[fast talon]

type /alarm into chat

[glacial isle]

yes

/alarm 49 minutes doesn't work

[fast talon]

no just /alarm

or wait was it /alert give me a second

[boreal storm]

Also you get 3 eorzean hours to mine them once it spawns

[fast talon]

yeah its just /alarm, nothing else

it will open up a window

[glacial isle]

thx

[fast talon]

note that alarms arent saved after you log out

[wheat plume]

When Im buying an gear or item, in the window with the item's details it says Total with the number I have. Is that number only what I'm carrying, or also what I have with my retainers, in glam plates, etc?

[glacial isle]

its in 48 minutes

[leaden ginkgo]

@fast talon would you say if I have never done crafting it's worth it to do the crafting way?

[faint flare]

Total number on you in your inventory khell

[fast talon]

@leaden ginkgo we still talking about crystal sands? you need either gatherer or crafter scrips and crafter scrips are like 10x more tedious/harder to get imo

[glacial isle]

where do you get Chocobo armor and do you need a house to dye them?

[fast talon]

unless youre like in ShB content where i hear its not so bad

[faint flare]

Bardings are primarily crafted and can't be dyed

There's a barding from your grand company

[glacial isle]

Is it in something that isn't Goldsmithing

[faint flare]

Its in various crafters

[boreal storm]

To dye chocobos you need a house

[faint flare]

Access to stables

[fast talon]

just typed barding into my crafting log and got goldsmith, blacksmith, carpenter, and even weaver

sorry not carpenter, leatherworker

[leaden ginkgo]

@fast talon fair enough I think I'm just going to go the poetics route

thx

[glacial isle]

i assume a higher level crafting optoin?

[faint flare]

Yes

Usually in master books as well i believe

[fast talon]

@leaden ginkgo when it comes down to it most of the steps for anima weapon can be boiled down to poetics farming

[boreal storm]

There’s also WOL and Black mage barding that you get from achievement dude

[fast talon]

so have fun doing MSQ roulette i suppose

[glacial isle]

achievement dude?

[faint flare]

Jonahas in old gridina

[glacial isle]

i don't know who that is

[faint flare]

He gives you items that achievements are meant to reward you with

He's marked on the map at Apkallu falls

[boreal storm]

If you’re in old gridania, he’s the trophy icon on the map

[faint flare]

He also has a few mounts and minions for sale with achievement certificates

Which you get 1 per 50 achievement points

[wheat plume]

in the item description, it says Shop Selling Price, is that the price other players are selling in market?

[faint flare]

No

Vendor price

[wheat plume]

is that the money the vendor will give me if I sell him the item? or the price it'll cost me to buy it from him?

[faint flare]

He sells to you for that price

[manic flare]

can you fish in the diadem?

[faint flare]

What you get for it is the "sells for X gil"

Yes

[manic flare]

what kind of bait do u need?

[faint flare]

The guy in the diadem where you spawn sells bait

[wheat plume]

is there a way to know market price if I'm not close to a market board?
