leaden ginkgo
would it be a good idea to alternate between gatherers
fast talon
If you can somehow map out some efficient route go ahead but I know at least with heavensward areas both botanist and Miner have a straight forward loop of...6 mins per node iirc
You can use garland tools to see when they'll spawn
manic flare
does praetorium also give more gil than castrum?
tacit atlas
How is memoria misera compared to the other extremes from this expansion in terms of difficulty?
remote lintel
not that hard
tidal yarrow
can you parse on ps5?
remote lintel
the part near the end where you have to bait Xs and flip the boss around and stuff gets weird but still doable with fuckups
tacit atlas
can you parse on ps5?
Nope
remote lintel
no you cant install mods on PS

what's considered a fast time for prae?
stable hinge
what duty do I need to unlock to get lv80 roulette?
remote lintel
anamnesis and heroes gauntlet
manic flare
is there an ala mhigan revitalization questline like there was for ishgard and doma
frank walrus
isnt heroes gauntlet in expert?
remote lintel
oh lvl 80 roulette
stable hinge
yeah
remote lintel
i thought they meant expert
frank walrus
yes
remote lintel
theyre all level 80 dungeons
stable hinge
Ah
robust path
I'm so mad. I mined a bunch of cobalt ore to sell on the market when it was 300 per 99 stack. A bunch of idiots kept undercutting it by 5 gil and now it's down to 190. How else can I make money?
stable hinge
Im lv80 my party member isnt so zi thought that was it
remote lintel
what level are you @robust path
stable hinge
It still says im midsing dutys though
robust path
Just hit 80 Dark Knight.
little swift
research the market more and don't put all your eggs in one basket
manic flare
@robust path sell in smaller chunks
remote lintel
i meant crafter level
manic flare
people wont buy 99 stacks at once
robust path
50
manic flare
it's too much
remote lintel
get to 80
robust path
50 on everything.
frank walrus
I'm so mad. I mined a bunch of cobalt ore to sell on the market when it was 300 ...
if you ever have too much GC seals, dump them into glamour prisms / cordials / glamour dispellers, usually in smaller stacks
remote lintel
or do treasure maps
manic flare
and u dont even have to be lowest price
if u sell in stacks of 10, they go extremely fast
frank walrus
yeah never sell crafting mats in 99s bc often people need just a few
robust path
Hmm, okay.
frank walrus
so even if ur prices are higher if the total is less its ok
manic flare
often times i dont even try to undercut
robust path
Good point, thanks. I have a bunch of left over cobalt ore to sell so I can do that.
manic flare
because i know people will buy my reaasonable stacks
robust path
Also, what are GC seals?
remote lintel
grand company seals
remote lintel
prisms are ok since people usually just buy them directly from GC anyway
manic flare
@robust path what server are you on?
robust path
Balmung.
little swift
markets are volatile spaces, especially when they're player controlled
manic flare
if u have armorer or blacksmith, i recommend converting cobalt ore into cobalt ingots
little swift
you have to expect nothing
robust path
Really? Hmm.
little swift
converting things into the intermediate mats is a good suggestion too
manic flare
check the marketboard tho
remote lintel
if youre fine with waiting i would also suggest stocking up on phanta mats and getting your crafters to 80 for 5.4
robust path
I'll need to get a bunch of iron ore to do that.
manic flare
@remote lintel what are phanta mats?
manic flare
what is phanta
remote lintel
phantasmagoria tomestones
manic flare
there's people sellling mats for phanta?
remote lintel
no...
you buy materials with phanta tomestones
the new crafted gear in 5.4 will need them
so the price will be very high on launch day
faint flare
There should be new mats
twilit arch
personally would not buy phanta mats right now
and just hold onto what phanta you have, because there's very likely going to be new mats
remote lintel
i thought some new items in 5.4 will need phanta mats
twilit arch
those mats are going to be put on allegory regardless
faint flare
They bring in new mats for new crafted items and you buy them with yhe uncapped tomes
Which will be allegory
twilit arch
so there's no real harm in holding your phanta incase they do bring in new mats
slate arrow
allegory will be the uncapped time
faint flare
So you cap phastmagoria for an extra 500 tomes
remote lintel
isnt phanta going to be deleted
twilit arch
phanta isn't being deleted immediately
faint flare
You wont get more
twilit arch
its just not earnable
robust path
All these tomes are the ones you get from duties, right?
twilit arch
level 80 tomestones, yeah
remote lintel
oh it converts
faint flare
Not automatically, you do it in mor dhona
robust path
I've only ever had poetics.
remote lintel
you need to do lvl 80 duties
robust path
Level 80 duties are phanta?
robust path
Okay.
manic flare
@robust path what point are you in the game?
manic flare
also you dont need to do level 80 duties to get phanta, doing roulettes on a level 80 characters should get you phanta
robust path
In the Greatwood.
twilit arch
then you still have a bit to go before you worry about lvl 80 tomestones and stuff
robust path
I think that's level 74/75 MSQ.
twilit arch
you need to finish msq first before you should be worrying about those tbh
remote lintel
you can't even buy the mats until you beat shb iirc
robust path
Yeah. I was more worried about gil. I can't afford to buy level 80 gear.
twilit arch
yeah, you can't see the vendors until you complete 5.0
remote lintel
you dont need to buy lvl 80 gear
manic flare
im in stormblood and i have tons of cracked planiclusters and stellclusters, where do i go to use them?
remote lintel
you can just farm 480 gear
manic flare
@remote lintel where do you farm the 480 gear?
remote lintel
eden verse
robust path
I mean I know the MSQ and sidequests give you new gear ever 2 levels, I just wanted to speed it up a bit.
twilit arch
focus on msq first, worry about lvl 80 gear later
twilit arch
the npcs to exchange them are in eulmore/crystarium, aka shadowbringers cities so just hold onto them for now @manic flare
leaden ginkgo
was Fantasia on sale recently?
robust path
Yeah, I was going to get another class to around the level of the MSQ and continue it.
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo no
robust path
Then I could use the quest rewards to get gear around that class level.
leaden ginkgo
Hiya. A couple nights ago I just completed ARR's original Questline I think. ||(I beat Gaius, and Lahabrea in Thancred's body, went through the cutscenes, etc)||
Just out of curiosity, how much post-ARR content should I expect before I hit Heavensward content?
remote lintel
80 quests
robust path
It's pretty lengthy.
remote lintel
thats the trimmed version of it lol
robust path
If you want, you can look here to see the questline: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests
storm echo
These numbers were very intimidating to me, in ARR. But i remember how many quests in ARR were quite fast, so I don't feel so scared
leaden ginkgo
If you want, you can look here to see the questline: https://ffxiv.consolegamesw...
Can I look at this while avoiding spoilers?
robust path
Yes.
robust path
It's just quest names.
leaden ginkgo
Mmk, neat
remote lintel
i know theres one spoiler in one quest name
remote lintel
its ||in memory of moenbryda||
storm echo
Looking at the list of stuff to unlock soon earlier would have motivated me a lot more instead of dilly dallying personally
2.2 f2p (50% before yokai plox) omni-crafter against popular advice. tankxiety, started SCH and handling ok, BRD main SMN main 2. question for now is how do i choose which clothes to discard or glam dresser?
remote lintel
is this a question
if you don't like it discard it
if you like it put it in the dresser
also omni crafter is the popular advice
storm echo
omni crafter on f2p is the unpopular advice, wait till ishgard restoration i thought haha
tryon is very slow though. small window doesn't help, but i think i could try resizing just that element perhaps
remote lintel
you don't HAVE to but it does make it infinitely easier
storm echo
i guess i need to ask for inventory management help too. i've discarded most vendorable stuff, am having to micromanage constantly, read the latetothepartyfinder article
but should i discard all crafting trash too?
remote lintel
discard crafting mats you don't need more
obsidian patio
My main tip is to not hold onto materials you’re not planning to use soon
remote lintel
now*
storm echo
yeah that's common advice. but f2p before 50% means gathering though. do i min-max crafting log in f2p or when aesthete's for the materia?
obsidian patio
Aesthete is level 80
storm echo
yeah so fuck crafting log until then hahaha. do crafting one-time log xp count for materia spiritbond? i've also been collecting gold and silver pieces, someone here said it's a quick small boost of gil in p2p. should i sell silver? 3 slots now.
remote lintel
the allagan pieces are just for selling
storm echo
yeah keeping it till p2p would be 500x99=49500 per stack, since i'm regularly gil capped rn. i'm cheap rn, home is gold saucer, and airship + flying mount
sorry if my editing of messages to add more text is annoying, i feel new messages are more annoying idk. i'll look up the crafting log spiritbond xp or ask on reddit, don't worry
remote lintel
it's fine
storm echo
is 49500 worthless in the road to 80? since I can do dailies for tomestones and can do HQ crafted. am i being too cheap with gold rn? am 999 gysahl greens, 6 and 7 dark matter, then it's beast tribes minion gold sink next i think
storm echo
49500 gil sorry. from my 99x500 worth of silver pieces haha.
obsidian patio
The story keeps slowly giving Gil
And if you’re feeling especially greedy you can also sell the gear from it on the mb
storm echo
i actually choose gil pieces in all quests except blue stuff. f2p rn sorry. or is the 5 figure vendor gear worth that much on MB? i could check
obsidian patio
The Gil becomes the worst option later on since the gear gets a lot more base value
And sometimes people will pay a lot for HQ crafted leveling gear
Like 30-40k+, and that’s still on the low end
storm echo
for spiritbond and slight stat boost, yeah. but i thought msq would be regular all the way through, worth less. gold pieces 2.5k could stack for p2p use, though I may go p2p for stormblood fate 2 seat yokai mount
shrewd prawn
Can you change your FC tag? I know you can change the name but I cant find a definite answer on whether you can change the tag or not
obsidian patio
Yes, you change it at the GC your FC was made at.
remote lintel
i actually choose gil pieces in all quests except blue stuff. f2p rn sorry. or i...
if the gear is better than your gear then pick the gear
the gil pieces suck
storm echo
but i have the time to poetics them all
obsidian patio
Poetics don’t carry you the entire way
remote lintel
are you talking about crafter gear or msq
storm echo
msq sorry, just HW for now.
remote lintel
poetics stops being good halfway through an expac
obsidian patio
Levels 55-59 and 65-69 are pretty brutal if you use only poetics and don’t get lucky with dungeon drops
storm echo
oh i'm 60 brd haha sorry
really neglected msq
storm echo
i agree for 65-69 but for now i'm ok because f2p
little swift
Its more noticeable as a tank or healer
Should start replacing poetics stuff with dungeon gear and msq rewards at that time
Regardless of role
obsidian patio
Also DPS if you get hit by avoidable stuff
storm echo
yeah will do at 65
remote lintel
if youre still doing msq at 60 then switch classes
honest anvil
late 60s dungeons force you to upgrade gears to match ilevel anw ... so you’ll know when the time is
storm echo
sorry, i got tanxiety and have war at 50 so i'm using that.
i think the thing is that i'm conscious that roulette are busy people and would rather minimal pulls. i could potd 200 for tank basics in the future
honest anvil
but dungeons, especially old msq ones are always very simple so dont worry too much
storm echo
yeah everyone's cool, or quiet at the most, which doesn't mean anything about how they feel. just my anxiety for working parents
remote lintel
parents are even more patient than all the other players from what ive seen
zinc orbitBOT
honest anvil
What’s the world first record for completion of eden reful savage?
storm echo
that seems so obvious in hindsight cerb hahaha
Mrhappy1227 llauqs?
leaden ginkgo
👋 hello! I have a question about a side quest called Sky pirate in HW, it requires me to fly to proceed but I don’t have enough aether current to fly, so I couldn’t do the side quest is that so?
remote lintel
did you get far enough in the msq to unlock the top half of the sea of clouds?
faint flare
You should be able to fly if you did your diligence
remote lintel
oh right
faint flare
Otherwise you cant do it without getting flight
remote lintel
yeah you need to get the currents
open coral
As long as you've completed the zone, you have access to all of the currents, even if you haven't collected them to be able to fly.
If you're missing only one of the quest-based ones, one of the Sea of Clouds current quests actually starts in Ishgard, so be sure to pick it up.
leaden ginkgo
Ok i will look thanks all!
storm echo
welp i think that's it for me for now! i liked this better than the daily megathread cos i don't wanna ask too many follow up questions, though the advice has always been solid there! tysm cerb, wynne, ynnahC (haha) and llauqs, i really really appreciated this
little swift
Mrhappy was mossy likely not part of the world first for e8s
Seems like it was a JP team
storm echo
sorry, was actually a completely uninformed quick google, mb. idek who that guy is
storm echo
and streamer, figured haha. but beyond that i mean.
i feel like in slice gate in saucer, follow the lalafell with a japanese name is good starter tip
i was from runescape so this is pretty hectic for me, actually. but doing frontlines, following the full kanji japanese leader and miraculously, ending up not dragging team down from first means i got this. ok no more off topic
storm echo
this is my first serious mmo, and i love it
buoyant sorrel
What are some in game pass times while waiting for queue time
remote lintel
fates, triple triad, side quests, beast tribes
admiring the glamour you made for your character
remote lintel
oh and crafting
fast talon
what are the best uses for silver chocobo feathers? my friends have been using them to get scaeven gear early since we're not done with SB yet but have a few lvl 70s, is that the best option right now?
obsidian patio
Any of the level 50/60/70 gear, really
They’re all worth the same amount of poetics so they all have equal value
fast talon
so basically just that, alright
which would you say is better, the weapons or the two pieces of armor
obsidian patio
In terms of pure poetics the chest/legs is better
And can be used for multiple classes depending on the type you get
fast talon
thats true
alright, thanks
shame that my main dps is dragoon lol armor only works for them, maybe i'll get the one for tanks
bronze narwhal
Is this weird faced dog/fox a minion? If so then what is its name?
remote lintel
@bronze narwhal sand fox
bronze narwhal
I see, thank you!
zinc orbitBOT
patent citrus
manic flare
should dragoon wear gear that's also for the tanks
or should dragoon wear gear that's for "disciple of war"
because alot of gear for tanks also says LNC DRG
remote lintel
it only says that for ARR gear
patent citrus
well if it's higher ilvl..
remote lintel
follow the main stat
faint flare
Use whatever has higher ilvl/strength
manic flare
@patent citrus same item level
gloomy ice
That's a relic of old 1.0 design that wasn't completely removed in the transition. Only moved away from as time went on.
Just, yeah, stick to higher str/ilvl
manic flare
like vigil cuffs v vigil vambraces
patent citrus
ooo if there are 2 gears with the same ilvl, why do you choose the tank one?
faint flare
Then use whatever
It doesn't matter
If they're same ilvl/strength
Unless it has tenacity
Dont use that
remote lintel
you cant equip 2 ironworks rings
glacial isle
ah
jovial tide
Is there an incentive for enabling minimum IL in the duty finder besides extra challenge (i.e. higher drop rate?)
remote lintel
no
faint flare
Faded orchestions drop more often but those arent that much value, so no
jovial tide
How exactly would the system work if you had it enabled?
Will matching be limited to just others with minimum IL enabled, or?
I'm unsure how it determines who's the party lead in a random matchup
gloomy ice
It can only be turned on for full premade/party finder runs.
zealous ingot
So I has a question. How is fishing? This will be my second job in land (first being mining) and I wanted to see how it is compared to it.
remote lintel
theyre basically the same at the core
faint flare
Go to some water with bait > cast line > hook when line tugs > repeat forever
remote lintel
use skills to increase your chances of HQ fish and stuff
zealous ingot
Oh ok cool! Thanks 😊!
Also I will see if its open
faint flare
Its up every 2 hours
zealous ingot
Oh thats nice!
glacial isle
it tends to fill up immediately though, so i tend to wait by it if there's like 10 minutes or less till it opens
spring tendon
I'm getting ready to join a Grand Conpany....roughly how far is that into the story? I'm tried looking at a quest thingy but I could make nietherbhead nor tails of it.
remote lintel
so very early
spring tendon
Hmm....halfway early? Before halfway?
proud willow
not even 5%
remote lintel
wym halfway early
faint flare
Tutorial level early
remote lintel
youre very early
bronze narwhal
So sandfox requires to clear super endgame content 
spring tendon
Oh, so I haven't even left the tutorials then?
remote lintel
its not super endgame content
faint flare
The tutorial section basically goes up to 40-50
remote lintel
also its mb sellable
faint flare
Kinda
wintry chasm
I mean
faint flare
World building and all
wintry chasm
Define "tutorial"
bronze narwhal
Its not? I never do savage in my life
bronze narwhal
Or its lower than savage raids
faint flare
Unreal is extreme
bronze narwhal
Oh I see
remote lintel
and its mb sellable
faint flare
And obtainable from Khloes certificates via wonderous tales
If you're lucky
To get those
wintry chasm
Because unless I'm not mistaken you're not really going to be unlocking any new special features in terms of main story and natural level progession of your main job till level 50
Not a massive one anyway
glacial isle
the only requirements for ATMA to drop is do have the Zenith Relic equipped when completing Fates right?
bronze narwhal
twilit arch
and be in the correct zone, yes @glacial isle
buoyant sorrel
I've been buying my gear form the market board and have been letting my tomestones of poetics stack up quite a bit any use for them since the gear that can be bought with them is below my current equipment?
remote lintel
!faq poetics
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Poetics gear is far better
spring tendon
Hmm. Okay. Guess I'm getting antsy cause I'm trying to breeze through the story. So that's why I wanted to know. Doesnt help I want the dark knight job too but the fact that its locked behind the first expansion and the main story
buoyant sorrel
Ty!
leaden ginkgo
Hello! The palace of the dead is to level A job to lv60 right? Will I have the all my abilities up to lv60 after running through the palace?
faint flare
Poetic gear is the strongest gear at 50/60/70
wintry chasm
the fact that its locked behind the first expansion and the main story
FYI that's basically all the same requirement
proud willow
You won't have access to any abilities that unlock via quests
leaden ginkgo
So I will have my abilities after done the palace I mean the regular abilities
faint flare
If you have your job crystal on
proud willow
ah
bronze narwhal
Still have to do class quest though
remote lintel
if you level grinded for like a week using only potd yes @leaden ginkgo
leaden ginkgo
Potd?
remote lintel
potd floors translates to specific exp amounts
spring tendon
Is it? Hmm. What would I miss if I were to pay for progression? Not that I can atm
faint flare
Palace
leaden ginkgo
Oooo lol
spring tendon
I guess story?
remote lintel
story skip doesnt level your class
spring tendon
Cause leveling is pretty easy
faint flare
Story skips put you at the start of respective expansions
remote lintel
and have no idea whats happening
proud willow
the quest to unlock DRK requires a level 50 class, so you wouldn't be able to unlock it without first leveling up
faint flare
So either ar the start of heavensward/stormblood/Shadowbringers
wintry chasm
But as you said yes, leveling is faster
faint flare
With dungeons unlocked, grand company picked and flying unlocked in skipped zones
spring tendon
Okay. So it has that side effect. Hate those. And I thought DKR has a level 30 requirement of any class. Every page I looked at said so. But again, I'm not gonna and I cant.
spring tendon
Ooooh, okay. I see what you're saying
bronze narwhal
You need to level to 50 anyway to unlock ishgard
wintry chasm
You need to level to 50 anyway to unlock ishgard
Unless you story skip which we are talking about
remote lintel
not if you story skip
bronze narwhal
O right
spring tendon
Alright. I have lots of dumb questions lol. Thanks guys. Back to listen to these dumb speeches ugh.
wintry chasm
take that dumb comment back
remote lintel
youve activated the lore goblin
agile night
speaking of dumb questions, what's story skip?
wintry chasm
It's purchaseable on the Mogstation
agile night
okay I gathered that, I guess how/why. ah
slate arrow
do note you do NOT get any rewards from the story if you purchase and use the skip
remote lintel
mainly for alts or people who hate story and fun
proud willow
you do get some rewards
wintry chasm
do note you do NOT get any rewards from the story if you purchase and use the sk...
Well you can buy the items from the calamity salvager but yeah notably the fantasia isn't given to you at all
proud willow
mounts/minions/emotes, things that can't be obtained elsewhere
agile night
I'm enjoying it well enough anyhow.
proud willow
Not the Fantasia though
wintry chasm
Yeah the skips were more designed for if someone makes an alt character and doesn't want to do MSQ all over again
spring tendon
Listen, the grand company remembrance speeches need not be 30 minutes long. EACH. Just say you must remember those who have passed. Why is the history if your country since the dawn of time so important for honoring the dead lol
Anyhow I'm getting off topic here. I'll return if I have another question..thanks everyone!
remote lintel
because it tells you the backstory of the 3 grand companies
agile night
I'm not sure what the benefit of an alt even is at this point
remote lintel
which are important to the story
@agile night rerunning savage when its weekly locked
spring tendon
Okay, fair enough...didnt think of it that way.
wintry chasm
I'm not sure what the benefit of an alt even is at this point
Playing on other data centers
wintry chasm
because it tells you the backstory of the 3 grand companies
and the cities at large
remote lintel
@spring tendon also the "dead" people are the players from 1.0
so its kind of a nod to them
spring tendon
1.0?
wintry chasm
Well the Warriors of Light specifically
faint flare
The original FFXIV
remote lintel
1.0 is ff14 when it first launched
faint flare
Which was a dumpster fire
remote lintel
right now youre playing 2.0 which is a realm reborn
faint flare
The game was rebuilt after the original launch failed
agile night
oh right. as I understand, game was originally released, seen as bad, pulled, and remade. does that sum it up?
wintry chasm
Super quick summary in meme form
remote lintel
not pulled
wintry chasm
spring tendon
....
Wait...hold on. Please explain. You've awaken the info hoarder of me. I need to know what happened
faint flare
Thus the name "a realm boorn"
wintry chasm
....
Wait...hold on. Please explain. You've awaken the info hoarder of me. I nee...
If you want the long version
hang on
remote lintel
basically
wintry chasm
Noclip did a three part documentary about it
faint flare
The first inital cutscene, with the old guy WAS the end of 1.0
remote lintel
when ff14 first launched it was trash and everyone hated it
warped nest
Watch the no clip documentary
remote lintel
so the devs decided to restart
spring tendon
I thrive on useless info. I am a dragon who hoards useless information.
wintry chasm
You'll like the documentary
warped nest
Watch the 3 part documentary
wintry chasm
It goes a lot into the dev side as well
remote lintel
so what the devs decided to do was make an actual calamity in game to restart it
this took the form of the meteor
so the calamity that the npcs talk about in game actually happened
faint flare
Alot of todays issues are still caused by the awkward code remains of 1.0
remote lintel
it was the restart and launched 2.0
faint flare
14 has infamous spaghetti code
remote lintel
and yes the 1.0 players did see the meteor fall from the sky in game
spring tendon
This...is the Great Meteor this galreian guy mentioned? Von Balus or something
wintry chasm
Yes
spring tendon
I'm bad with name so I guess lol
wintry chasm
Oh uh
wintry chasm
Hang on
remote lintel
and revealed bahamut
remote lintel
i liked typing :(
spring tendon
Hmmm. Okay, then what happened to the OG characters in the reboot? Where are they? Or did they just vanish into the aether?
wintry chasm
Depends
faint flare
and theres more info on the meteor project later in the game
remote lintel
the npcs?
wintry chasm
If you are a 1.0 player, you play as them in ARR
spring tendon
No, the PC characters
remote lintel
they started again
they get a tattoo if they played in 1.0
as i said they got their memories wiped
faint flare
Original 1.0 players, the legacy people, get a unique cutscene as they were ported to the future which is now
wintry chasm
If you only started playing with 2.0 then it's not really said what happened to the original warriors of light but you're like, the next generation
remote lintel
and cid realizes who you are
faint flare
Along with being in the giant credits in 2.0
spring tendon
Nice nice..that's heccing cool
remote lintel
do the scions recognize you and be like "oh hey you lived welcome back"?
proud willow
The fact that ARR was such a successful continuation of the story when any other studio would have just flushed it down the toilet is an absolute miracle
wintry chasm
do the scions recognize you and be like "oh hey you lived welcome back"?
||Just Minfilia||
faint flare
I think its only cid and minifilla
spring tendon
Hmm...jobs. if you change one into another are you brought back down to level one?
wintry chasm
Each job levels separately
So if you are a lancer level 10
and you unlock conjurer
and swap to conjurer, you're a level 1 conjurer
warped nest
Think of Job level as weapon proficiency in other games, if that concept is more familiar to you
wintry chasm
if you re-equip your spear to be lancer again you're back to level 10 lancer
wintry chasm
Right Summoner and Scholar jobs share the same level because they both come from the same class arcanist
spring tendon
Okay. What about passives or traits rather, like tank mastery? It seems like they can level up?
remote lintel
when you hit the level you get the trait
wintry chasm
Leveling jobs doesn't benefit others
remote lintel
on that class
faint flare
They're just there and you get them when you level up on that job, for that job
warped nest
Take note that trait doesn't cross into other Jobs
faint flare
And the trait just exists
warped nest
If that's what in your mind
You don't need to grind trait or stat to build character
This is not that kind of game
spring tendon
Nope. I'm not leaving the tank class. No sirree
faint flare
And when you sync down for dungeons/fates, youe skills etc are removed accordingly
agile night
I remember something about being able to unlock the ability to make some actions available for other classes, but I'm not sure which ones or what limitations there are
warped nest
That was cross class action, it is simplified to role action now
warped nest
Kawa was talking stat growth

I know on botanist I was able to add prospect from mining. it's useless to me, but game let me do it
warped nest
And builds like evade tank (not a thing)
spring tendon
Okay...lemme think. Is it smart to invest in a level up thingy?
faint flare
Gear choices are the small builds
remote lintel
@spring tendon what level up thingy
remote lintel
some classes have multiple bis builds
spring tendon
The um...counter part to story progression buyable. Again, not that's something I'd actually invest into unless I no longer had the time and I had the funds
wintry chasm
If you mean a level skip then no not really tbh
wintry chasm
^ That's the only time I've used them
remote lintel
or if youre really lazy
faint flare
Level skip on its own is kinda worthless. Unless its a alt job and you already have stuff unlocked
wintry chasm
Well no
faint flare
Your level means fuck all without story progress
remote lintel
you can level grind
remote lintel
signal mist
MSQ rewards are never faster / better
I agree with this
faint flare
wintry chasm
grinding is always going to be faster than MSQ
MSQ is just great because it's good xp and it's basically mandatory for everything
faint flare
And you level faster than story anyway
spring tendon
So if I unlock Paladin (which i guess I'm 3 levels away from as I'm GLA 27) would it be beneficial to resume doing tje story basically from level 1? Or should i focus on leveling GLA first to 50?
faint flare
Paladin is gladiator
faint flare
Jobs are just advancements
wintry chasm
You'd be a Paladin level 30
manic flare
think of paladin as as specialization of gladdiator
wintry chasm
No reason whatsoever to not swap to Paladin immediately
faint flare
Its more gladiator is a baby paladin
Class and jobs as terminology are basically interchangeable
wintry chasm
If you don't swap to Paladin as soon as you're able to and you get into content level 30+ with others, people won't be best pleased
remote lintel
also when you earn exp as a paladin youll notice it appears as gladiator exp
wintry chasm
Class and jobs as terminology are basically interchangeable
a-almost
spring tendon
Hold on....I'm confused then. So...basically what Paladin is me just protecting enough people, getting hit hard enough to develop thick bones, and fusing into my armour to evolve from a gladiator to a paladin?
faint flare
Thats why i said basically
faint flare
There's like 1 exception with clasd skills in potd
remote lintel
paladin is like a job promotion irl
spring tendon
So...I evolve
faint flare
And get the paladin job crystal
remote lintel
shh its just a metaphor
zinc orbitBOT
spring tendon
Lol. Sorry. I have to rely on things I can use to help me understand.
wintry chasm
The class / job mechanics makes more sense if you've played the classic FF games
faint flare
They explain job crystals somewhat when you get them
spring tendon
Okay. I've never played a classic FF game. I played FFXV. That's it
remote lintel
lore wise for now youre just a gladiator doing gladiator things but your story will develop
wintry chasm
Yeah uh, so long as you get that you want to unlock Paladin as soon as you hit 30 you're good
As for how you become paladin just keep doing the class quests
faint flare
If they could. The devs would completely remove classes cause they're just redundant at this point
spring tendon
But anyhow, thanks again for answering my questions and being paitent. I can be a handful or so I've been told
remote lintel
nah your questions are fine
faint flare
Ok thats a cute Nergi
spring tendon
Oh, one more thing. To unlock a mount I need to join a company amd then do a quest and get the tickets for it....but what if I already have a mount? I have the uh Grani but I cant use it obviously
remote lintel
then you just unlock mounts and use grani instead
and let your chocobo collect dust
spring tendon
Lol. My poor chimcken
faint flare
Or use the mount roulette and let fate decide
wintry chasm
You'll love your chicken at level 30 when you can make it fight with you
remote lintel
oh yeah and it can hold your stuff
faint flare
We need more mount favourite slots
astral berry
I can't recall any mount that requires unlocking by joining a FC?
faint flare
Grand company
astral berry
I misread it, he did not state which or what kind of "company."
chilly briar
can you trrade your neo ish for differtne neo ish gear in eulmore?
remote lintel
augmented neo ish
patent citrus
pretty sure you can
leaden ginkgo
Does this mean theres 24-48 hours left on my account, or literally less than 24 hours?
patent citrus
since your neo ish will be converted into envelope
raven sage
You trade in the gear for tokens not the items themselves
chilly briar
Right right
raven sage
So you just need the right amount of everything
chilly briar
Where is Eulmore is that?
remote lintel
east side iirc
raven sage
yes the npc should be Hilicen
chilly briar
Ok found him now I need to figure out hwo to get the items
remote lintel
you just trade your neo ish in for HQ envelopes
halcyon stag
Guys, can someone please explain what is wrong with Balmung? I was planning to transfer to Aether datacenter, but heard that everyone on Aether is being made to disconnect once per day because of Balmung and it's "overpopulation".
twilit arch
you're looking at very old information
balmung is no longer on the aether datacenter
and the whole thing about balmung crashing aether is cos having two heavily population servers (gilgamesh and balmung) on one data center meant that if one crashed, it basically crashed the data center down with it
manic flare
i thought it was mateus?
twilit arch
both mateus and balmung are unofficial rp servers
halcyon stag
I see...
manic flare
wait i thought one was more ERP
remote lintel
crystal in general has more RPers than the other data centers
twilit arch
people like to overstate the "erp" issue
halcyon stag
Does Balmung crash Crystal, though?
twilit arch
No
remote lintel
the servers are fine
twilit arch
the issue with datacenter crashing was again because you had two super populated servers
on one data center
halcyon stag
Yup, looks like I've indeed been looking at old info.

hellooooo
My FSH is 72 right now, but the yello scrip exchange person only showing 50 equipment in lisa docks
what unlock did i miss?
cedar compass
Does the ishgardian delieverables lose exp as you level up?
because the level 60 ones seem more egfficient than ther 70 ones exp/ material wise
bronze narwhal
Need to unlock other scripts from rhalgr reach and idlyshire first
Iirc the quest name is go west craftsman from mor dhona
worn granite
ah ok
cedar compass
;-; anyone?
I'm wondering if doing the lvl 60 delieverables is better to level up
since they give 1.28m exp and use 5 mats, while the level 70 give 2.25 but use 10 mats
but im not sure if the exp given changes with my level
bronze narwhal
It depends on the collectability amount iirc
Little collectability lv70 item has only bit different from lv60 max collectability iirc
On 70 I went full job quest and beast tribe so I dont really experience that part on ishgard im sorry
worn granite
heh, well i can talk to those scrip vendors now, but still only lvl 50 yellow gatheres

Is wiping weeping city of mhach duty finder -level content these days?
buoyant sorrel
Can i change classes to a DoL/DoH while queueing for a dungeon/trial? What happens if I do?
proud willow
yes, you can
pallid gyro
Awesome thanks
proud willow
when the Duty Finder pops up, it'll show that you need to change back to your original class in order to click Accept
like all alliance raids, Mhach is Duty Finder level content
It may be a long queue because relatively few people have it unlocked (compared to each of the other expansions' raids)
jovial tide
Thanks I'll try my luck at it, just didn't want to get screamed at like trying to duty-finder bahamut extreme
I meant ultima weapon, sorry
faint flare
Coils is savage tier content, 24mans are casual content
And extremes are in the middle
Extreme content are up are done via PF
jovial tide
Yea learned that the hard way
Though ultima extreme wasn't that bad to be honest, probably due to all the overgearing
Still had one dude at the start going on a tirade about queuing for it via DF then leaving right after

Does eternal bonding works with character from different server? (Same datacentee)
faint flare
No
slate arrow
Accessories don't matter of you're a DoL/DoH right?
they do because they give you Crafting/Gathering points
faint flare
@buoyant sorrel accessories give you CP/GP and Perception/Control, they're important
bronze narwhal
Okay thanks
faint flare
But not to retainers

@faint flare ah I haven't got accessories that boost those stats yet, I'm lvl 50 but don't know where to get them besides the MB

remote lintel
fierce cobalt
ah ok thanks, sorry to confirm, nothing in-game thats tailored to what ive currently unlocked?
remote lintel
no afaik
faint flare
Roulettes only put you in to content you can access with your current ilvl and have unlocked
jade quartz
All the items on the list minus those you haven’t unlocked.
Some roulettes, like Expert, require you to have all the applicable duties unlocked before entering.
gritty oracle
Where do I unlock the mhw stuff with the weirdly realistic dragon mounts?
fluid dagger
I just realized I could've been a bard at lvl 30, but im lvl39 now. Did I screw up by not becoming one at 30?
warped nest
No
Once you do the lvl 30 job quest
You will be a lvl 39 Bard
Do the lvl 35 job quest too while you are at it
fluid dagger
ok so it's not like other mmos, where if you do your job quest later levels, you miss out on stats and skill points
leaden ginkgo
Just beat the main msq for stormblood!! Really excited to keep progressing the story and get into shadowbringer 
my question is will I be missing out on anything important if I temporarily pass on the post patch raids and what not and just keep going through the msq?
faint flare
You do your job quests IMMEDIATELY
They're MANDATORY
Otherwise you're griefing and missing like all of your kit
@leaden ginkgo post patch stuff usually aren't too relevant to MSQ so you can ignore them. Exception to Crystal tower cause mandatory
sleek roost
ok so it's not like other mmos, where if you do your job quest later levels, you...
Correct. It just makes your life a bit harder since you're missing out on skills until you unlock it
faint flare
The lv70 24mans are recommended at some point due to it being required for lv80 relic
But not important to do right away
leaden ginkgo
I plan to come back to it on an alternate class and that way I can level it up through new content instead of recycling content I’ve already done and over leveling my main classes
fluid dagger
ok thanks everyone
leaden ginkgo
I did all of arr and hw raids
So I think with ur support I’ll just keep pressing on for now and revisit it another time
remote lintel
the alliance raids are important to be able to get a really good weapon at lvl 80 so

glacial isle
when do you unlock the Binding Coils of Bahamut?
gritty oracle
Lv50, The Ultimate Weapon completed. Starts in Wineport, Eastern La Niscea
remote lintel
after you beat base ARR
glacial isle
...huh
gritty oracle
Does the game only check for mandatory quest progression at specific quests? Say, after 6.0 comes out would I be able to trick the game by buying a ShB msq skip and not do crystal tower? (For the lolz of intentionally creating a time paradox)
glacial isle
this one?
twilit arch
yes
remote lintel
the story skip completes CT
twilit arch
that is the starting quest for coil
twilit arch
no

does Bahamut drop anything cool or is doing just to say you did it

It's very good story
remote lintel
it has lore and the weapons i guess

Voice acted too

but not relevant lore to the msq

I mean I put HW's story off just to grind Stardust Rod so
verbal rune
Also for some reason, urianger quest Mark doesn't show up while you're at vesper bay
hasty musk
it gives context to certain stuff later and adds unique dialogue to certain scenes later if you do it before
remote lintel
if you were to do it you would just get a lvl 80 to carry you anyway and you would jsut watch the cutscenes
gritty oracle
Well it has the majority of Alisaie's character development in ARR
Also the reagents that drop from T5, T9 and T13 can be used to craft amazing armour
verbal rune
Also Ifrit one is called 'Ifrit can bleed, it can be killed"

that describes 80% of the dungeons, all of the Trials except EX, and the Raids
gritty oracle
It doesn't show up because the Waking Sands is instanced away from main Western Than
remote lintel
no
dungeons raids and trials still require a team
this is just you watching cutscenes
glacial isle
Yes
tHose were just me following the higher level people and watching cutscenes
because I'm BLM
gritty oracle
Dungeons, raids and trials can be done through the Duty Finder. Bahamut can't, not really.
remote lintel
"higher level" people would just be like
3 levels higher than you at most
not like 20
verbal rune
Coils of Bahamut also drops dreadwyrm and allegan sets, so there is that
glacial isle
Well I'm telling you what happened every time
hasty musk
you were still required to contribute a meaningful amount in those instances
remote lintel
i highly doubt you just sat back and let the other members do all the damage for you but sure
glacial isle
I ran up, casted a few spells and the boss was already dead
remote lintel
in a trial/raid?
twilit arch
who cares? why are you arguing this point
glacial isle
The early trials and the Crystal Tower basically
remote lintel
thats just cause everyone is OP in ARR

No
agile night
Is there something I need to do to get this to level up, or will it go once it exceeds 150?
faint flare
5.45 and 5.55, there will probably be 2 quests in each patch
For the different stages and increases
proud willow
There is an Ixal quest that will raise you to the next reputation rank
you need to do that before you can go any further
It doesn't count as one of your beast tribe quests for the day, and it will open up a new tier of quests
jade quartz
Quest should be available from either Sezul Totoloc or the Lalafell
agile night
alright cool. ALong with that is it recommended I focus one tribe, or try to get them evenly?
warm anchor
ok i got it, gonna lock in the monthly sub rn
faint flare
You can only do a certain number of quests per tribe per day
jade quartz
Doing them evenly is the best way to rank them all fastest
gritty oracle
I recommend getting 2-3 tribes at once, enough to get 9 allowances down per day. The other 3 are in case you level up.
warm anchor
gonna lock in that 180 day too, hyped af
warm anchor
really?
jade quartz
Yeah
faint flare
Yes
warm anchor
wow
faint flare
You only fill it in if you own thr Otp
gritty oracle
You need to set up your OTP to even be able to use it. It's a big hassle but imo worth it for the free teleport location and SE never locking your account ever again if you log in from a different location

so I'm trying to unlocksack of nuts and it says i need prereqs of msq (done) and elite and dangerous. I'm having a really tough time locating anything down the chain for elite and dangerous.
