thorny knoll
does this refer to normal explorations?
tidal yarrow
to accept a teleport from someone in the party, you gotta be on their same area?
leaden ginkgo
hm, maybe i should just wait for 5.4
yes you should!
gloomy ice
to accept a teleport from someone in the party, you gotta be on their same area?
Yes. If you’re not in the same zone, you won’t get the free teleport offer. Also if they use Return or teleport to their house, you won’t be able to follow.
warm snow
Same applies for fc houses even if you're both in the same fc
manic flare
what is a tankbuster move?
twilit arch
a hard hitting ability that generally only the tank wants to be hit by
little swift
a move that does a lot of damage
twilit arch
since they're likely the only ones who can survive the hit
little swift
tanks typically survive this using a defensive mitigation cooldown
and they clap everyone else (can one-shot)
hybrid bramble
I tried to do this quest to unlock scholar, but it's locked (my SMN is lvl 76 btw due to boosting SMN 2 months ago)
My current lvl for SMN
twilit arch
you need to take off the summoner soulstone
hybrid bramble
oh yeah gotcha
twilit arch
also may want to purchase a low level arcanist book
so that you can swap to scholar since smn book isn't going to work for sch
hybrid bramble
Through mogstation or in-game?
twilit arch
in-game
hybrid bramble
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Books_(Scholar) lvl 30 arcanist book counts? Or any?
timid geyser
As long as it says acn/sch it should be fine
wintry chasm
Honestly just go to the weapon vendor in the Limsa marketplace
buy the level 1 book
EZ
Would also be the cheapest option

mighty hearth
If you buy subscription do you keep your trial character?
remote lintel
yes you can upgrade your trial account to a full account
remote lintel
yes, the story is linear so you have to do each expansion in order
theyre like chapters in a book
remote lintel
yes
mighty hearth
Ok cool
silver ruin
combat sucks below 50 but it gets alot better
mighty hearth
So then my question is how do I manage my hotbar when I have all my moves
silver ruin
most classes take 3hot bars
mighty hearth
Especially since I'm playing dragoon
silver ruin
assign skills in most used to teh easiest to hit keys
remote lintel
put skills where they feel comfortable to you
mighty hearth
Ok can I set the ability to keys
mighty hearth
And you can do like a modified key like ctrl + e?
remote lintel
yes
mighty hearth
Or alt e
mighty hearth
Ok
silver ruin
or combinatiosn of the two like shift + alt
remote lintel
its in system > keybind
remote lintel
this game is basically made for people who dont play mmos lol
mighty hearth
Oh that's nice of them
Because every other mmo I played was kind of boring
But that's just me
remote lintel
this is a final fantasy game first and an mmo second
so its very story heavy but has a great story
mighty hearth
Oh ok but I'm not a fan of the filler quest in the beginning
They kind of boring but the story is cool
remote lintel
it sets up the crazy stuff that happens later
jovial tide
Is urth's fount something that would get people screaming via duty finder?
remote lintel
urth's fount is basically an EX so people dont really queue for it
mighty hearth
Are the filler quest integral to the story I usually skim thru then
remote lintel
usually the most important stuff will be in the voiced cutscenes
spare plinth
What would the keyboard layout look like of someone who runs extreme raids like Eden savage?
Just curious
remote lintel
like their hotbars?
spare plinth
Yea
remote lintel
i think it varies a lot because it depends on what they find comfortable
little swift
Can take a look in #protips-and-ui for some ideas
Doing savage isn't really a reason hotbars would look any different
remote lintel
yeah
i was gonna say they probably just look like normal hotbars but "normal" is different for everyone
little swift
If you look at all of mine you'd think I'd never be able to play
But it works fine for me
remote lintel
controller hotbars basically all look the same 
spare plinth
for some reason i imagine keyboard hotbars for extreme trial players are usually around their left hand or right hand
like 1-5, q, e, r,
remote lintel
not necessarily
they might like having hotbars near the middle so they can see their cooldowns and stuff
gray wolf
Which tank is good to start as?
remote lintel
either one
you can pick marauder (which becomes warrior) or gladiator (which becomes pally)
gray wolf
Okay. Marauder is closer but I need to be level ten to switch
remote lintel
make sure you do your class quests as well
kind eagle
What is burst heal
oblique yew
Should I do only the msq and job quests?
remote lintel
do 
except the ones that say "leves" or unlock classes that you dont want
you dont need to focus on one class
especially if you have the road to 70 exp buff
kind eagle
i didnt lv any cooking class and craft
remote lintel
i was talking about combat classes
you dont have to level crafters or gatherers at all
remote lintel
dnc starts at 60
tropic frigate
or do I have to level it up from 1
remote lintel
you cant start as black mage, you start as thaumaturge
which upgrades to black mage
tropic frigate
kind eagle
I started marauder
tropic frigate
I better ready coffee
kind eagle
Then upgrade to sam

I've reached roughly half of DoHL lv50-ish, should I craft the green gear or skip it and go for lv53 stuff? Using mainly Mythril/Boarskin stuff at the moment for DoL, Linen set for DoH

twilit arch
it'll be a weapon
faint flare
Weapon
ripe hound
Oh, always a weapon now?
faint flare
Only the first trial is accessories
twilit arch
EX trials are almost always weapons, with few exceptions
ripe hound
I see
twilit arch
the first two exs at the start of the expac, one is gonna have accesories
since double weapons would mean that one of those is already obsolete
jade quartz
obsolete

had to double check them since didnt remember which one was the better >.>

does anyone know how to make the sch Embrace a macro icon? also is there like an updated list of possible macro icons

Politics being discussed ingame are fine right? Bit of an odd question but I've known people to be banned for the weirdest stuff in this game

i also tried /micon "Embrace" pet but no dice either
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo as long as youre not like getting into arguments and stuff its probably fine
twilit karma
Politics being discussed ingame are fine right? Bit of an odd question but I've ...
I don't think there's anything in the ToS outright banning that kind of thing. That said there are obviously some parts of politics (esp the current politics) that could walk the line of offensive/hate speech so that kind of thing def could get you in trouble. So probably just ya know, be smart about it and you'll be fine
gleaming mist
does anyone know how to make the sch Embrace a macro icon? also is there like an...
as of 5.0, it's no longer possible to create an embrace macro
silver ruin
not possible
you dont need it anyway since its auto
you can no longer manually cast it so you cant get the icon for it
lyric holly
alright thanks!
ripe hound
Is having low parse numbers somewhat more ok as healers?
As in, if a healer can do everything else perfectly but have green numbers...?
obsidian patio
It really depends on the rest of your team
ripe hound
I noticed that I'm good at not making mistakes and compensating / adjusting for other people's mistakes, but I just always do really bad parses...
obsidian patio
If they struggle staying alive, then you struggle maximizing damage
ripe hound
I see
gleaming mist
if you have a log, input it into xivanalysis and see what it suggests
many times an issue with having a low parse is
little swift
not hitting your buttons/rolling the gcd is a big proponent of lost damage
gleaming mist
not rolling your gcd, or spending too many unnecessary gcds on heals
and it can also be a gear issue if your gear isn't up to par
ripe hound
Yeah
obsidian patio
Yeah most people nowadays are likely 490+
silver ruin
thats almost 20% cast time missing
thats an issue
especially since ast has a 1.5s cast
ripe hound
Yeah, it's e6s... so shouldn't be that much down time
silver ruin
can get close to 100% uptime in e6s
id say analyze the timeline and see where your casting drops
little swift
that comes down to practicing prepositioning and such
ripe hound
On the bright side it's a trail for a new static, and we cleared on first pull while looking like this:
So... maybe it's not so bad?
silver ruin
im...not sure what that time is for
ripe hound
It's deaths
little swift
thats the time of death
silver ruin
oh
little swift
how close to enrage were you
ripe hound
9:36 on e6s... so?
gleaming mist
about a minute off from enrage
ripe hound
Yeah, enrage is about 10:15
little swift
enrage at 10:15
little swift
so not terrible even with deaths
gleaming mist
either way, following those tips is a good starting point to make large improvements
little swift
continue to practice prepositioning and slidecasting because realistically since you yourself didn't die, you shouldn't have as low of an uptime score
silver ruin
!faq hps
zinc orbitBOT
silver ruin
yea you're overhealing but overall thats a garbage thing to base things off of completely
ripe hound
Yeah, I'm impressed by how much I was able to overheal
In my defense I just adjusted from Noct to Diur...?
Still probably shouldn't overheal that much
silver ruin
probably using hots too much then yea
remote lintel
the thing about healing endgame content isnt about adjusting for mistakes/deaths, its about squeezing as much dps as you can while healing just what you need to
ripe hound
Yeah
little swift
if your cohealer was also healing, and not working with you its going to scale up your overheal
silver ruin
the thing about healing endgame content isnt about adjusting for mistakes/deaths...
this, eventually you will start playing chicken with your co healer
little swift
seems like they just weren't familiar with how you played
ripe hound
Yeah
It's a trail for a new static and we cleared on first pull
So no time to learn each other first
remote lintel
basically just practice more and get comfy with your team
ripe hound
Yeah
silver ruin

at this point in the tier, gear isn't your problem

you can save your character's appearance and load it up
inland zenith
I made it!
silver ruin
gilgamesh is probably the most popular yea, idk about second most populated @unique oasis
twilit arch
going by the august luckybancho's census, it'd be adamantoise and siren but they were also preferred during that time so those boost the numbers a fair bit

I think primal also has no preferreds currently
This can all change with 5.4, of course

Is about buying Shadowbringers Complete Edition and how the transfer / upgrade from freetrial works.
I also have some other questions so feel free to DM me

it's a problem for me though, if my tank is either a drk or a paladin I can keep my fairy to heal them through + recit and excog of course. But with GNB, 4-5 art of war they are already at 25% of their health.

you click "transfer to full account" and input the code

It’s a nice job to mess around with.
If you can manage to get in a full BLU 24-man alliance on PF those can be wildly chaotic

Hi everyone. I'm just now getting back into the game for the first time in 4 or 5 years. My character is level 29 and I remember working on becoming a dragoon. Not sure if there's a returning players guide or some resource that can help me get my feet under me again with my character
remote lintel
if you want to play the story again to know whats going on i would suggest just making a new character
lvl 29 is really early in

looking at squadrons now, do the specific members I have matter too much, if I dismiss one can I get them back later?

@junior yacht What are you doing when you encounter Dantalion?
I didn't get Loom that way, just grabbed it from the Northern Thanalan hunt target
little swift
how do i force Dantalion to cast Loom?
try the mob brandon suggested, the b rank "Flame Sergeant Dalvag"
to force it to cast, you gotta be at range from it to bait it to cast. there's no cast bar so watch your battle menu carefully
junior yacht
i was Stunning them and then running away to try and force them to cast it to close the gap
gonna just try the B rank, i guess
manic flare
u can bypass dungeon role restrictions with premade party correct?
i have 3 other friends who want to play this game, but none of them want to do tank

Is doing GC turnins and selling materials from quartermaster more profitable than just selling the old gear you get from dungeons?

Minions are cosmetic, they don't assist in combat or grant any benefits

there is a minion game involving them called lords of verminion, which is why they have stats

when i which everything will be the same right? except i'll have that sub stuff

a lot and depends on the mount
remote lintel
mount speed is per zone
the only different one is the sds fenrir on mog station which comes with the first zone speed upgrade

but when you first get to HW your mount will be at default speed

hello guys. new to the game and was wondering if how can i change my class?
remote lintel
until you get the speed upgrade for HW zones
@ionic sinew do your lvl 10 job quest and then pick up the blue quest at the guild you want
like if you want to be an archer go to the archer guild

worthy basin
what does you tank you pull means?
and is this a NA culture? i have yet to encounter one here in JP at least in elemental.
little swift
Its you pull you tank
Its a self-righteous mentality where if someone other than the tank pulls mobs, the tank doesn't take aggro of them
Its actually not only an na/EU thing
I've seen it in jp too
frozen girder
That sounds like an American thing tho tbh
twilit arch
its absolutely not
plenty of people who think that because they are the tank, that only they should pull
frozen girder
It sounds like the kinda mentality most Americans have XD
bold mica
originated kinda from other mmorpgs where ninjapulling is actually a thing that dps sometimes do but in here it is completely invalid cause you pull all the mobs anyway
slate arrow
is this a question or a discussion
little swift
It sounds like the kinda mentality most Americans have XD
Stereotyping isn't accurate nor appreciated here
frozen girder
A question that turned into a discussion
slate arrow
You're not innocent, glows.
remote lintel
ive never heard of that in NA
frozen girder
I’m an American .-. I should phrase it as “Sounds like the kinda mentality most people I know have”
remote lintel
at least on my DC

most people are willing to accept that as a tank, to just grab the mobs

Is the companion app always really laggy?

Laggy how?
frozen girder
It takes forever to load everything
slate arrow
If you mean takes a long time to load, it's because it's effectively a mobile version of the FFXIV client

just without all the assets and models

worthy basin

worthy basin
but you're going to pay for the extra rertainer
remote lintel
you need to pay if you want more than 2
frozen girder
Is it worth the money
slate arrow
Usually, no.
warped nest
2 is usually sufficient
remote lintel
you have plenty of storage space with 2
the only times i can think of having more than 2 is if youre a crafter or something and really want more selling space
slate arrow
You can safely vendor or junk most materials and mob drops you get
Only reason to have retainers is if you're going for extreme levels of crafting and gathering
zinc orbitBOT
worthy basin
because you are limited to 20 selling inventory per retainer, so more retainers more crafted items that you can sell. (excluding the items that are stackable)
warped nest
I craft semi seriously and 2 is enough
silver ruin
ventures are another reason for more but you really dont need more, 2is fine

you can probably manage a previous tier clear
little swift
thats teh halo
no you don't need to be pointing your camera top down
you won't be able to see her if you have to move out for the mirrors
little swift
for the most part yes you can focus on the aqueous, but if you clear it early you can help with the other stuff
little swift
tank/ranged phys have to silence the stoneskin first
otherwise you need a lot of damage to pop the stoneskin shield
little swift
not really a point to being so one-track mind with it
faint flare
Add phase is all about balancing DPS properly
little swift
tank stun is more valuable than the leg sweep too
kind eagle
so for 2nd aqua my leg sweep is up again
plain python
oh sorry I mistook it for another channel 😮
manic flare
is there a vendor that sells crafting gear in exchange for poetics?
kind eagle
like full burst on phase 1
faint flare
No
kind eagle
then phase 2 i have senei up
faint flare
Poetics is only combat stuff
kind eagle
and other dps come to help
manic flare
which vendor sells the ironworks gear of crafting?
faint flare
None
faint flare
Its crafted
robust crow
also don't buy it from the marketboard
you can get level 50 gear pretty cheap with scrips
ironworks gear isn't worth purchasing
faint flare
Its lv60
robust crow
there's a level 50 set for GC seals
little swift
yuki i recommend you watch some samurai povs
robust crow
which is decent enough
little swift
see how they react to add phase
manic flare
why do people say you can only make money once your crafters hit level 80?
why can't u craft level 70 stuff (like winter sweater) and sell on marketboard?
kind eagle
vinyl so if managing dps i can clear aqua with just 1 tank stun?
manic flare
is there a whole newe world of possibilities that open up at level 80?
faint flare
And what resources people have
kind eagle
oh
faint flare
What you do in add phase will vary from group to group
remote lintel
@manic flare winter sweater is in bozja lockboxes
faint flare
As your partner Changes
Its something you may need to adjust on the fly
You may need something extra for eletrics
You may not
kind eagle
i thought others can kill the rest easily
faint flare
It varies
little swift
it depends on the group and the players
kind eagle
oh
little swift
and some players can be poorer in skill
silver ruin
is there a whole newe world of possibilities that open up at level 80?
80 is the level cap, aka current stuff, so yes
little swift
which means they cannot handle the adds
faint flare
Some groups may discuss what they do in adds briefly
little swift
so you should be flexible
faint flare
Adds aren't hard set so be ready to adjust if extra is required
little swift
that guy in your party chat suggesting you help with the earthen was making a suggestion (albeit a strange one)

Question: How do you use Living Dead and do you need a macro (however those work) to let the healer know you've got it on?
kind eagle
was like
remote lintel
@glacial isle it helps
faint flare
Living dead is youe tank immunity, it prevents you from dying for abit
manic flare
u use living dead when you have less than 10% health and healer already used benediction on u
remote lintel
not necessarily
kind eagle
i doubt we will have time
faint flare
Its use should be planned out or at least have a general idea
Of where you're using it
robust crow
admittedly
faint flare
Macros aren't needed for it because any healer with a brain should see it, however most dont so it can help
robust crow
unless you know the fight ahead of time
living dead is going to end up going to waste a lot
little swift
u use living dead when you have less than 10% health and healer already used ben...
definitely not
glacial isle
Will I ever need to use it outside of some ultra-hard trial (synced for once)?
faint flare
Or just saying "Using Living dead next pull"helps alot
remote lintel
possibly
faint flare
Need? No...is it insanely useful? Yes
little swift
makes it easier for the healers to know
silver ruin
if your healer isnt a whm they'll fucking hate you though
remote lintel
no
robust crow
no they won't
glacial isle
I've seen mostly AST mostly so...
remote lintel
only a bad healer would hate a tank for using invuln
faint flare
Tank invulns like LD are your strongest cooldown
silver ruin
i mean, if they use it at the wrong time with barely any mobs, yea the healers gonna hate you
faint flare
They do the job of "make you not die" the best
silver ruin
but yea giant trash packs aka wall to wall is good
remote lintel
if they use it with barely any mobs then its unlikely to even pop
twilit arch
if there's barely any mobs, then its kind of unlikely that it'll hit walking dead
so...
little swift
and thats poor practice snack
glacial isle
So use it if there's like 6+ mobs and its one of those situations where running in = death
remote lintel
absolutely use superbolide frequently
glacial isle
or on some big super raid boss
remote lintel
not necessarily
faint flare
Using tank invulns properly is the difference between a ok tank to a great tank
silver ruin
if its a raid boss you normally use it on specific things
manic flare
i always worry i will mistime the superbolidie
silver ruin
like huge tank busters that will kill you
remote lintel
in dungeons when you're pulling a lot of mobs and taking a lot of damage you can pop it when youre starting to get low
faint flare
Literally just say "Using tank invuln next pull"
And your life is 100x easier
And they wont bene early
remote lintel
@manic flare that doesnt matter anyway
because theyll just heal you with other ogcds
glacial isle
Literally just say "Using tank invuln next pull"
and i I need to pop it unannounced?
faint flare
^
manic flare
@remote lintel but that's super annoying for the healer, no?
remote lintel
no
little swift
the bolide > bene thing is unfortunate but its not a problem
faint flare
Any healer thats paying any point of attention will see the buff
remote lintel
its never annoying to do your job
brave sky
reading the buffs on your tank is a part of healing
remote lintel
^
if your healer is competent they will know
alternatively you can also use a macro
to yell at them
faint flare
Or announce ahead of time if you know you're going to use it
glacial isle
(which is why I asked how macros work)
(for those times where using it is unplanned)
faint flare
Macros just run down the script you write and execute actions line by line
remote lintel
/ac "living dead"
/p Living dead used.
/micon "living dead"
put a sound effect in there if you want
little swift
if its unplanned its fine
faint flare
Will active living dead and put that message in chat
slate arrow
Recommend putting <wait.1> after /ac "Living Dead" so you don't spam the chat
faint flare
Putting skills in macros does had some delay due to lack of skill queing
So do that ^
When you eventually spam the button
glacial isle
Ok explain step by step how this works cause I don't know this
remote lintel
i couldnt remember where to put the wait so thank you
/ac tells the macro to do the action
/p types in party chat
faint flare
System > macro editor > copy paste what cerb put > press macro
remote lintel
/micon changes the macro icon
glacial isle
/ac "living dead" <wait.1>
/p Living Dead (I assume this is text?)
/micon "living dead'
remote lintel
no
faint flare
Wait 1 on the line of living dead
remote lintel
do /ac "living dead" <wait.1> on the same line
glacial isle
like so?
brave sky
is there a general macro guide somwhere? i don't see one in the pins
faint flare
You can use Auto translate (by pressing tab) to put the skill in that way
glacial isle
little swift
but /merror off at the top if you don't want to see the red error message on your screen
also that RP line doesn't communicate anything useful
faint flare
You can use auto translate for the /ac line as well to guarantee the game recognises the skill
little swift
i'd recommend against use that line
glacial isle
how do you put the :
manic flare
what does /micon do?
little swift
means macroicon
worthy basin
what does /micon do?
icon of the skill
remote lintel
type "livi" and press tab @glacial isle
little swift
gives you an icon for the macro

click it and read what it says
ruby karma
I am out of sub time and am on a tight budget this month with the holidays. I thought you got to play to level 60 for free thought that is why I bought the game?
remote lintel
the free trial goes to lvl 60
ruby karma
Is this not the fact? When I log in it says no game time
leaden ginkgo
on the free trial you can play until 60 but you don't have the free trial if you purchase the game
lyric holly
Oh u didnt need to buy the game to do the free trial
ruby karma
damn
slate arrow
he just ask if the breeches are ready
You don't have the item in your inventory probably
tribal lance
did i craft the wrong thing?
slate arrow
yes
ruby karma
so if I play to level 60 on a free account and level the character I have to buy the game again?
tribal lance
oh
leaden ginkgo
hempen breeches
leaden ginkgo
yes if you want to transfer the character data into a purchased account mr bobby hill
remote lintel
@ruby karma i mean you can switch back to your old account after you played but that character would be whatever level you left it off at
slate arrow
what should i do with them then :l
Sell them or discard them, either or
remote lintel
you would need an entirely new account to do the free trial
tribal lance
okay thank you
kind eagle
zinc orbitBOT

hidden lotus
What's the cooldown for joining a new Grand Company or rejoining your previous one?
remote lintel
15 days
hidden lotus
Shit seriously?? Definitely not worth it for just a portrait then.
patent citrus
oo really? is it that expensive in your region 🤔
hidden lotus
Nah, I'm just really bad at managing my gil :p
It's only about 35k I think, but.. I accidentally bought a quantity of materials I didn't mean to and it took just about all I had left so 
remote lintel
resell them?
hidden lotus
true.
remote lintel
not for the first time but yeah to change back
hidden lotus
I did relist what I bought, but it hasn't been picked up yet.
So I just get to wait
lyric holly
If you have a lot of seals, u can always buy glamour prisms and sell it on the mb
For profit

can I transfer my square enix account to my steam account?
since i started playing the trail first
off steam
remote lintel
if you played the trial on steam then you can upgrade to the full version on steam
hidden lotus
ooh yeah.. I keep getting ventures, but I suppose I could do that
remote lintel
check your market for cordials
lyric garden
whatt 😭
remote lintel
the price might be better
obsidian patio
You can go from windows trial to steam full game
But you can’t do windows trial to steam trial
Since the trial is platform-specific
patent citrus
ok so what's this blue arrow means 😂
obsidian patio
The mission has an affinity boost for either Roegadyn or marauder, which makes the affinity’s thing 100% chance
You can see which races/classes it boost above your squadron list when you look at the mission
patent citrus
i see so it's randomised? depending on the mission?
obsidian patio
Yep, changes every week for each mission
patent citrus
oh you are right.. weird thing i got 3 of the missions having this arrow
the other 3, the arrow changed
ok ty ty
obsidian patio
Again, you can see which missions boost what above the squadron list

Is there a way to turn off the dungeon battle themes? I'd really like to listen to the ost of the dungeons but the regular enemy battle theme just plays 24/7 after about 10 seconds in the dungeon

turn off battle music prob
shell creek
If I Recruit someone with a code and he buys a 90 day sub, would I Get the feathers right away?
remote lintel
i believe it gives you the feathers once the 30 free days runs out and it starts using their sub time
actually that might be for the recruited person
shell creek
So every 30 days?
remote lintel
it gives you gold feathers once your friend inputs the code but im not sure if it sends the rewards right away
shell creek
What I Mean, if my friends now buy the 90 sub will it get to my mail that same week?
gritty oracle
When I load into SoS, why does the game say "Now playing Shadowbringers 5.3 Trailer Theme" instead of "Now playing To The Edge"?
I think so.
remote lintel
@shell creek I think youll get 5 gold feathers immediately when they input the code, but it won't send you the rest until it starts using his paid sub time
shell creek
Oh okay thanks
next steppe
I'm curious, what is the hardest, but possible challenge / goal someone can do in FF without touching any of the story? I mean like, outside of the first quest or two that are needed to leave the starting city state, what is possible at that point? obviously one can level up and get to 50 (before needing to continue MSQ for job quests lv50+), though I doubt relics become available until after ARR MSQ is complete.
gloomy ice
Fates and field map exploration. That’s it. Everything else is still story locked.
next steppe
Dang, though Fates aren't a bad idea for what I'm thinking, depending on the Fates themselves.
next steppe
I was talking with a friend about creating a party of 4 people who create characters that, when die, will be deleted. I was thinking of avoiding the MSQ and the whole WoL thing just to see what would be a possible, but somewhat hard of a goal for a band of mortal characters.
gloomy ice
Also 45 and 50 job quests may require you to leave your staring area. If you’re in La Noscea, you can’t leave without progressing story. If you’re from Ul or Grid, you won’t be able to reach La Noscea/Limsa
next steppe
yeah, that's true too, I knew ul'dah can connect to gridania (with some difficulty at lower levels), but that was it. wasn't sure if the ferry was unavailable
scarlet sandal
i miss the glitch that had arr dungeon themes play over battle music
remote lintel
i mean sure you could try it but it would be pretty boring
next steppe
yeah, I suppose so. eliminating MSQ was just an idea thrown in there, but since I'd never thought about it I thought I'd ask
remote lintel
you literally cant do anything without the msq
next steppe
sadly yeah, seems like. No worries then

leaden ginkgo
Any advice on leveling from 17 to 25? As a thaumaturge?
silver ruin
uh, did you do the msq in those levels already?
leaden ginkgo
Or any other advice on things I should do at level 17?
little swift
Msq and class quests
Those aren't optional
And will comprise the bulk of your exp for your first job
gritty oracle
Does anyone have a 600 gp collectible rotation?
leaden ginkgo
I am behind in my MSQ quests I wont lie, maybe that's why I'm leveling so slow while doing them
leaden ginkgo
Oh I know that
Yeah I'm at Heir Today Gone Tommorow
So 5 levels below my actual level
Anything else though besides just doing the MSQs?
little swift
At your level? Not much you can really do because you haven't unlocked any content
gritty oracle
How long should the wait be on a collectable macro?
gritty oracle
oh I just clicked on the imgur
warped nest
I just want to point out that gatherer collectible is manual work and you need to change your Action based on what procs you get
You can't macro those
little swift
!faq contentunlock
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
You can't macro those
This is untrue you can definitely macro gathering collectables
warped nest
Oh??
little swift
You just play it safe and do an rngless rotation
leaden ginkgo
Damn, wont lie I love this game so far just besides the msq, does it get better from the feeling right now where most of the msqs just feel like walking?
warped nest
Ahhhhh
forest laurel
you can macro collectable gathering yeah
I have 2 macros for no DE proc and DE proc
little swift
If you break down every quest it will feel like that
forest laurel
works like a charm
little swift
Narratively the story improves greatly as you go as well.
You've barely scratched the surface
leaden ginkgo
I guess it also gets faster when I get mounts right?
little swift
Yes but also msq tied
warped nest
In universe, your character is basically a nobody, so you need to work to build your reputation
As a game, the game need to break down a lot of info and pass it onto you bits and bits.
little swift
Make use of chocoboporters and tps for now
gritty oracle
and use your favoured/free spots!
leaden ginkgo
Oh I almost forgot about those
Is it normal to just kinda like rush these early msqs?
fast talon
Just curious before I dive into it too much, are most of the fruits you need to dye a chocobo exclusively from gardening/quests?
worthy basin
I just hit my RDM to 70 and the repetitive gameplay is not for me lol. I'm choosing a DPS, I'm choosing between SAM, MCH, DRG or NIN.

If repetitiveness is your issue I would say probably NIN

isn't everything repetitive tho

I mean, when i level my smn back then. it changes a lot.
green grail
Also I have no idea how I should set up my hot bars
just set them up so they're easy for you to use, more commonly used skills on easier to reach keys like 123qe etc.
worthy basin
Oh woah I just got fire 2 and swift cast, how should I use those?
i setup my hotbar like 1234qerfcxz with shift and alt as modifiers
because the number 5-0 in my keyboard is too far
but ymmv
leaden ginkgo
Oh wait I was saying the skills, you can change the actual keybinding?
