questions-and-help

[twilit arch]

they're the tomestone set coming with 5.4

[patent citrus]

incoming patch

[honest jolt]

so excited then

[verbal rune]

Prepare your tomestone

[remote lintel]

theyre endgame sets

so you need to get to endgame first

[honest jolt]

Oh no I’m still on heavensward

[patent citrus]

😂

[leaden ginkgo]

How can I take these earrings off

I hate

[patent citrus]

buy emperor earring maybe

[remote lintel]

you need to glamour them

which unlocks at lvl 15

[jade quartz]

You'll unlock glamour at level 15 and be able to hide them

until then just wear them

or don't

[leaden ginkgo]

Did I accidentally add them? Or is it a class thing

[jade quartz]

I mean I guess it wouldn't be an enormous loss

[remote lintel]

its part of the starting gear

[jade quartz]

you start with them.

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh okay

Thank you, you guys answer so fast

Life savers

[honest jolt]

Once you unlock glamour plates you can make a plate with the emperor’s new earrings and then make them invisible for free any time you’re in a town

[woven night]

i just harvested my first thavn onion seeds, should i just plant them in an indoor pot?

or can i do something intresting with them

[leaden ginkgo]

This is more of a personal opinion thing but I also would like to know, would you guys, if you had to chose between performance and quality, which would you pick, for example would you rather play 30 FPS with good settings or 60fps with low settings

[remote lintel]

60 fps

[twilit karma]

60fps, in this game if I'm at least that high I might sacrifice some fps for visuals but I'd want that as a minimum

[remote lintel]

its hard to even get 60 fps in some areas in the game

so if you were at 30 it would go even lower

[twilit karma]

Depends on hardware, my average is about 80fps, with ReShade

[remote lintel]

im saying your fps dips in some areas

[patent citrus]

minimum member of critical engagement to join?

if there's <10/48 should i still commence? lol

don't want to get wiped

[remote lintel]

i wouldnt

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

mechanically I'm still lacking, sometimes i got hit -_-

[fast talon]

https://www.ffxivgardening.com/seed-details.php?SeedID=46 i guess if you want to try your hand at crossbreeding though I dont know if these create anything unique/worth a lot

though youd also need a house and not just an indoor pot

[remote lintel]

thavnairians onions are needed to level up your chocobo past 10 so

[woven night]

dosnt look like onions have any interesting crossbreeds

[faint flare]

I mean the CEs can be soloed

So

[woven night]

guess ill just plant them in an indoor planter with potting soil then

[faint flare]

And they scale based on number of people in

[woven night]

wait actually it can give tantalplants seeds...

tho the efficiency dosnt look too great...

[cinder maple]

How hard is it to get the pvp mount?

Anyone here active in the feast? Lol

[slate arrow]

which pvp mount

[cinder maple]

The ranked reward ones

At the end of each feast season? Is that what they’re called?

[twilit arch]

season reward changes each season

its not always a mount

and previous season rewards do not return

[cinder maple]

Oh it’s not?

Okay, so how hard is it to get to a rank in the feast that’ll grant you the seasonal rewards?

[twilit arch]

getting top 100 realistically isn't that hard, but you want to do it at the start of the season

since there's no rank decay

people have no reason to play later into the season

[cinder maple]

Ah

Wait, so losing doesn’t drop rank like in other games?

[twilit arch]

it does, by rank decay i mean that your rank doesn't lower after not playing for a certain amount of time

[cinder maple]

Gotcha gotcha

[twilit arch]

i would suggest heading over to pvpaissa discord

if you wanna get more indepth conversation about pvp

[cinder maple]

Hmmm I’ll have to give it another try. I still have no clue how pvp works. 😅

Okay thanks!

[manic flare]

if i have one retainer as botanist and another as miner, should my next one be fisherman? or is that not really neccessary?

[twilit arch]

not really necssary

[cinder maple]

Think that’s dependent on what kinda rewards you looking to get from their respective explorations

[twilit arch]

fisher retainer is pretty meh

[leaden ginkgo]

How do you know if someone is a GM in /tells?

[twilit arch]

because it'll be sent to every single window

and they will have GM in their name

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahh so like this?

[twilit arch]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Alright, tysvm

[worthy basin]

so what do you do exactly in frontline? i'm literally monkey see monkey do

[lyric holly]

Depends on the map

Usually you just capture a base by standing on it, killing others to get points

[errant magnet]

Something had me a bit confused about todays 5.4 site update "Relive more of your past adventures with newly added chapters for main scenario quests from Patch 5.1 to Patch 5.3, as well as level 80 job quests and role quests." Does this mean we don't get 30-70 Quests yet? Just in case anyone happen to have heard anything regarding this

[lyric holly]

Then you'll either have to break tomestones, capture other points, or do the azim steppe contest thing name eludes me rn

[worthy basin]

there is a new quest iirc at the end of the role quests in norvrandt

but you need to finish the warring triad quesline in hw

[faint flare]

Thats referring to NG+ stuff

Adding 5.1-5.3 to NG+

[worthy basin]

Y "It's a lot this patch, we are done with almost all adjustments and testing, now we're just hoping to have a smooth patch day. I had a lot of things to check and it was really hard. Oh, one more thing. In 5.0 you had to do role quests remember? And when you finished them all, there was one more quest. This patch, there will be one more new quest at the end of that. As prerequirement for this quest, you will have to have the Warring Triad quest line from HW finished as well"
i thought it was this

apologies

[faint flare]

My take is they're adding job quests up to lv80

[errant magnet]

I should have kept it shorter :3

I wish that was the case really want to go though n

ninja

[lyric holly]

Yeah they're going to add job quests since those werent available in NG+

[nimble minnow]

Which crafting job is recommended to level up first for a new player ?

[remote lintel]

all of them

[nimble minnow]

at the same time ?

[errant magnet]

I'd skip fishing and cooking besides that the rest yeah

[nimble minnow]

Interesting , thanks 🙂

[silver ruin]

id do cooking too

cause if you level them at different periods you'll hav emultiple sets of gear

fishing you can do at a later time, its not used for too much

[faint flare]

Crafting and gathering is basically one nig package

[silver ruin]

^

besides fisher maybe

[faint flare]

They more or less use materials other gatherers and crafters get

Fisher goes into the least

Primarily culinary and occasionally alchemist

[manic flare]

are there any two seater mounts i can obtain through the game normally without going t hrough the store?

[twilit arch]

even for cul its not really mandatory

[errant magnet]

Fishing can be leveled fairly easily during the semi hourly fishing trips without any gear to speak of but take your time

[faint flare]

2k mentor roulette mount, refer a friend mount and the 4 seater mount from eden gate sepulchre savage

[finite kindle]

https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/product/452
how would i be able to know if im buying the female or male version of this outfit? it says only the male parts are included but i want the female version

[remote lintel]

it looks different based on the gender wearing it

[robust crow]

there's no "male or female" separate versions

they are the same item

[twilit arch]

if your character's female, it will be the female version

[finite kindle]

oh ok thanks!

[robust crow]

there are very few items in the game that are actually gender locked

[manic flare]

what kind of items wouuld a combat class retainer bring back vs gatherer class?

[robust crow]

monster drops

[finite kindle]

also how do i know if im getting black or red

[robust crow]

like animal skins

[manic flare]

and which one would be more useful overall?

[obsidian patio]

Items on the mogstation will tell you if they’re gender-locked

[finite kindle]

i want the black version

[robust crow]

dulce, that item is dyeable

[finite kindle]

and okay thank you!

ah i see

[robust crow]

you can color it whatever you want

[obsidian patio]

Combat classes get monster drops as their ventures

[robust crow]

provided you can get the dye for the color you want

[finite kindle]

thanks!

[obsidian patio]

So stuff like meats and skins

[robust crow]

some dyes, such as pure black dye, can be very expensive

[finite kindle]

ohh

[robust crow]

but there are close lookalikes that are cheaper

like soot black dye

or one of the dark purple ones

[obsidian patio]

It really depends on what type of materials you need more of or what sells better for your server

[finite kindle]

thanks so much!

[worthy basin]

i start with cooking because coffee biscuits

and i craft raid food sometimes

and sell it to the mb

[fast talon]

the moments im glad that my eyes suck since i cant see a difference between soot black and pure black or snow white and pure white

[remote lintel]

the recommended way is to level them all together

[robust crow]

cooking and alchemy are relatively standalone though

[fast talon]

as someone that recently grinded all my crafters to 70 and am slowly going for 80, doing them together is the best way

[remote lintel]

soot black can appear more greenish and less saturated depending on the texture of the item

[fast talon]

mostly that way you can share gear and upgrade them at the ame time, saves up on inventory space

[robust crow]

a lot of the things from cooking and alchemy don't rely on the other crafting jobs

[fast talon]

this is true

[robust crow]

but leveling them all together is ideal

[fast talon]

you'd also want to level up your gatherers too, at the very least miner and botanist

so you can gather your own raw material

fisher is whatever, i find it relaxing but its not nearly as important

and IIRC the lvl 20 or 25 gatherer class quest for miner and botany are the same thing, so once you get to that point you might as well collect 198 of it to save you some time in the future (you need 99 of...something for each, i can't remember what)

[rocky oxide]

Yo, I saw in a video Savage is coming out next week for Eden's Promise is that true?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

Normal and savage launch at the same time

[rocky oxide]

Was that in the LL?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[rocky oxide]

I have another friend asking for proof XD

[twilit arch]

this is how its worked since hw

the only time savage and normal mode don't release together is with the expansion launch

since they want people to enjoy the story

[obsidian patio]

#translations-and-liveletters message

They are thinking of having a delay of some kind for the next expansion’s raid in response to player feedback

[rocky oxide]

Tysm

[lone spruce]

Real shit how do you lean against a wall like that with your arms crossed

[wintry chasm]

/lean emote

[gritty oracle]

Is it worth to try and overmeld with 8 in the first slot?

[lone spruce]

That’s an emote???

[wintry chasm]

You can buy the emote from Ishgard restoration vendor

[gritty oracle]

1800 sky scrips

Tbh it functions more like /sit than a standard emote. No chat message

[lone spruce]

I wish the read emote didn’t end

[plain python]

is Krille's fox-ear raincoat in-game obtainable?

[lone spruce]

Just have it go until I do something else like pdead or sit

[gloomy ice]

From the cash shop, yeah. It dyes funny though.

[wintry chasm]

also it makes you have her hair

[plain python]

what is it name? 😮

[wintry chasm]

https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/product/584

[plain python]

thanks a bun

[lone spruce]

I wish you could extend emotes without looping them in their entirety

[plain python]

macro it? 😮

[lone spruce]

Yeah but wouldn’t that just loop it from the beginning?

[gloomy ice]

Self repeating macros aren't really possible

[lone spruce]

So if I looped it she’d just pull the book out every like 15 seconds or so

They fr just need to change /read so it’s indefinite

[finite kindle]

how can you get clothes on this game besides buying from the in-game marketplace and using real money?

[nimble sail]

dungeons, crafting, some sidequests etc

[stable hinge]

when is 5.4?

[gloomy ice]

Tuesday

[stable hinge]

thanks

[simple gulch]

There's someone near me attacking stuff while invisible.. is that normal?

I followed the invisible rock attacks for awhile and noticed a player that pops up floating mid air every now and then

Is that a playable class?

[marble drift]

yeah

[wintry chasm]

Yes and no

[marble drift]

its the fastest way to get banned

thats what it is.

[wintry chasm]

That's a bot breaking the game

[marble drift]

those are bots

[wintry chasm]

but that bot is playing as a conjurer

Conjurer throws rocks

the teleporting is just bot doing bot things and breaking the game

[simple gulch]

lmao what a waste of 10min trying to figure out what class they were so I could try it

[wintry chasm]

lol

[simple gulch]

Thanks for the heads up

[manic flare]

what does it mean when someone says owo

[wintry chasm]

A good rule is, if their name is something like disanbdladaf fdbljfblf

They are a bot

[manic flare]

really?

[marble drift]

or a roegadyn

[wintry chasm]

That or they just play as a roe with a loreful name

[marble drift]

heh

[wintry chasm]

Heh

[marble drift]

Im glad you appreciated that one :3

[wintry chasm]

You sweet summer child. that's an internet thing

I'll just let you google that

[manic flare]

im hardly a summer child

im old and dont understand 90% of the internet neologisms

[wintry chasm]

TL:DR OwO is a face

It's not an abbreviation or anything

UwU is another one

You can see the uwu in that carby

[manic flare]

what does this guy mean

[silver ruin]

hes asking about erp, ignore him

[wintry chasm]

You

sweet

summer

child

[marble drift]

oh dear

[manic flare]

i dont understand whats going on here

i dont know the guy

just got random message

[wintry chasm]

^ this

That

[wintry chasm]

or he's simply joking about ERP

Or...something

[verbal rune]

Anyway just ignore

[wintry chasm]

Or fuck with him metaphorically

[manic flare]

i would for maybe for 60k gil

[wintry chasm]

[manic flare]

i need the cash

im broke

[silver ruin]

[manic flare]

is that frowned upon?

[silver ruin]

no

[wintry chasm]

I'm just not going to comment

[silver ruin]

but they normally charge gil for it

not pay gil for it

[manic flare]

i mean whats the worst that can happen

[silver ruin]

if they're pming you

[worthy basin]

r u a cat girl

[wintry chasm]

Crotch rot

Jokes aside nothing?

[manic flare]

oh so they solicitating

[wintry chasm]

Well yes that is what they said if you read

[manic flare]

@worthy basin no im the opposite

a boring hyur

this is my character in game

[ancient solar]

are there anyway to get wolf mark beside routele

[marble drift]

no you need to pvp to get pvp marks

[quaint flicker]

Puppet bunker still has loot lockout?

[open ember]

Until 5.4

[quaint flicker]

Ok

[wintry chasm]

Just doing PvP normally

[fallen niche]

So do we get glowing primal/trial weapons every patch?

[manic flare]

there was a zelda game where zelda is all covered up

in a rogue-like garb

[marble drift]

@fallen niche Not every patch

[gloomy ice]

No not every patch. It's rather unpredictable if/when we get new glowy weapons.

[manic flare]

forget which game that was

she was undercover or something

[leaden ginkgo]

Which of these is the best for healer ? Or does it not matter

[marble drift]

the only "healer" at the beginner is Conjurer

Arcanist splits into either Scholar (healer)

or summoner (dps)

[fallen niche]

Ah, so there's no idea when stuff like the Immaculate Wingblade will be able to be used for other than a decoration and barding?

[marble drift]

nah. generally it'll be a while tho

[wintry chasm]

@manic flare Wrong chat me thinks

[wintry chasm]

To add onto what Silver said, it doesn't matter what healer you end up as anyway

There isn't a horrific meta like other games where some jobs can't be used at endgame

[marble drift]

Right but only Conjurer is a healer for its entire playtime. Arcanists are officially dps.

[verbal rune]

And ast is unlocked only in HW

[wintry chasm]

Yes

Still relevant though

[finite kindle]

where can i find a delivery moogle

[marble drift]

any major city, few minor ones

postboxes infront of player housing

[ancient solar]

which dungeon give me the most wolf mark beside routele

[marble drift]

dungeons don't give wolf marks

[finite kindle]

where could i find one in central thanalan

[marble drift]

Uldah is probably closest

theres one near that big merchant strip near the inn.

[manic flare]

the delivery moogle is marked on your minimap

if you are in a city you should see it on the map

[finite kindle]

what does the symbol look like?

[silver ruin]

a letter with a red seal

[manic flare]

do i have to do the bonus beast tribe quests the same day i unlock them

or would they disappear after the next day reset

[twilit arch]

yes, have to do them the day you rank up

[manic flare]

can i just start them

and not complete them

[twilit arch]

you can pick them up yeah

[ancient solar]

I waited for an hour pvp

[leaden ginkgo]

Do normal linkshells work in dungeons and other duties?

[twilit arch]

ye

[manic flare]

whats the bot command to check market rates?

[leaden ginkgo]

neat

[sly knoll]

Is the 5.4 patch coming 8th of december?

[twilit arch]

yes

[gloomy ice]

Yes this Tuesday

[little swift]

command is !market <server/data center> <item name> @manic flare

[marble drift]

#kupo-bot-spam tho.

[glacial isle]

Is there a difference between the two different Poetic Sets in Idyllshire?

or is it just aesthetics

[manic flare]

the shire gear is marginally stronger

although the hailstorm set looks better

[verbal rune]

As it came later

Just get the set with the higher ilvl

[marble drift]

If you want the other set for glam, get it later when you swimmin in poetics

[warped nest]

Do claim the other ring though for your lvl 60 job. You cannot have two Augmented Shire ring.

So you want to get 1 shire ring and 1 of the other ring

[verbal rune]

Speaking of which

What are the lvl 60 accessories I should get?

[wintry chasm]

What job?

[verbal rune]

Tank and melee dps

[wintry chasm]

Tank you want the shire custodian ones

[gloomy ice]

Custodian for tanks. Pankratiast for melee.

[wintry chasm]

For Melee Dps (not ninja of course) you want shire pank

yeah

I'm glad you can spell it

[verbal rune]

K, thanks

[muted sierra]

Ninja wants conservator iirc

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

because ninja uses dex

not strength

[glacial isle]

Is the Shire stuff the best you can get pre-Stormblood?

[slate arrow]

yes

[warped nest]

Yes

[manic flare]

no

alexandrian weapons are better

[warped nest]

...

[wintry chasm]

That's not exactly true

A) they are basically the same to a completely pointless degree

B) it depends on the job

[warped nest]

Alexander weapons have higher ilvl, but practically speaking, just stick with the tomestone gear

[glacial isle]

Is Alexander something people regularly do on DF/PF

[robust crow]

not for gear

lol

[wintry chasm]

The weapon for Alex is from savage version

honestly don't bother

[glacial isle]

So Shire is better

[wintry chasm]

Yes

[robust crow]

people do alexander for numerous reasons but very seldom do they do it because it's better level 60 gear

[wintry chasm]

100%

It's basically the same strength as alex weaps

but 10000000000000% easier to get

[warped nest]

It is not worth spending the time to learn how to clear A12S to get the weapon that will only last you into lvl 65 story

When augmented shire can do the same job

[glacial isle]

Not like lvl 65 matters

[wintry chasm]

Exactly

Not like it'll take long to get to that point either

[robust crow]

(some people do it to get blu mage gear or synced level 60 gear)

[glacial isle]

well 1st i'd need to buy the game :v

[robust crow]

but uhhh that's a really small niche

[marble drift]

they also do it unsynched for gear

or as a full party of blu's for acheivements

[teal dragon]

what to do if i forgot my birthday input in my account cuz i enter random birthday or will i be okay

[misty aurora]

im done?

[marble drift]

@teal dragon how do you forget your own birthday? o_o

[teal dragon]

i have a habbit of randomly putting birthday and not my own lol

[marble drift]

thats a pretty dumb habit man

just put your own?

[teal dragon]

already did but not the one tho

so am i fucked

[marble drift]

I think if you ever have to verify yourself to support

you are fucked

so....any account mishaps or anything

you're straight screwed

[silver ruin]

should be one more quest

is your weapon glowing

[marble drift]

break that habit my dude. its just gonna cause you problems

[teal dragon]

but to purchase the game i dont need my birthday?

[misty aurora]

yes

[marble drift]

you need a date to verify your account if they ask for it

[teal dragon]

hopefully nothing bad will hapend or else welp

[misty aurora]

i got recollection

[marble drift]

same with any other information

[teal dragon]

...

shoot

[marble drift]

if you're gonna continue at least write it down....

[teal dragon]

how abt

[silver ruin]

you're done then

[marble drift]

or see if you can change it

[misty aurora]

ty

[teal dragon]

damn idk what to do

[marble drift]

Attempt to change it through the Account Settings over on squenix's website

and seriously break that habit its so dumb.

[jovial tide]

Is there a way to make the party list more compact i.e. a 4x2 layout?

[marble drift]

Not to my knowledge. you can adjust in what order roles appear

and change its size. thats about it

[mellow plaza]

Wowie

[jovial tide]

Speaking of which, what is square's official stance on ACT usage for fflogs?

[teal dragon]

WAIT I GOT IT

[jovial tide]

I'd like to have the source if possible

[teal dragon]

THANK FUDGE

[marble drift]

We just have alot of statements on it

[slate arrow]

It's against TOS like how Discord is against TOS

[manic flare]

is discord against TOS?

[slate arrow]

it was explained in a live letter, but I can't remember which one

[marble drift]

third party program.

[worthy basin]

yoshi p has a parse of his blm haha

[slate arrow]

yes, but no in the sense it's a third party program

[marble drift]

Yoshi P was parsed by someone else

[slate arrow]

it's just there so that if you harass someone using a third party program, they have the right to terminate your account

[worthy basin]

they can't flame you for having low dps when they use that

[teal dragon]

damn i was abt to log into squere website when i realize i havent had a username yet so they actually state my inputed birthday there thank god

and yes its actually my birthday but different year @marble drift sorry for being a dumb dumb

[marble drift]

Be smarter.

[ancient solar]

what this mean

[marble drift]

you are not a dum.

Classes that can equip

[worthy basin]

I really want to shorten my macro but the collectability would be lower

[marble drift]

in order

Conjurer, White Mage, Scholar, Astrologian

aka: Healing classes

its item level (power) is also 1 if thats what you were asking too.

[ancient solar]

Thank you

[ripe hound]

In general, assuming we are hitting dummies, reopener should happen about exactly 6min after first wave of raid buff right?

As in, is it worth it to delay the 6 min raid buff sync?

Because people might make mistake when progging and accidentally delayed raid buffs?

[latent prism]

most groups reopen at around 6:30 because certain classes don't use raid buff off cd

e.g. SMN, sometimes AST

[ripe hound]

I see

So it's a viable option to reopen at 6:30?

[latent prism]

depends on group, but generally buffs go out at around 6:10-6:30

[ripe hound]

So for example, the NIN might just want to hold TA and other CDs and wait till reopener?

I see

[latent prism]

yeah

[twilit karma]

Also just depends on the fight. A lot of them are nice and will give you the end of a phase transition at that time or thereabouts so pretty much everyone is ready for reopener once transition is over

[latent prism]

if you join a speed kill party they might specify "final burst window" or something like that

[ripe hound]

kk

[latent prism]

and people hold everything til then

[ripe hound]

Also it's also viable to not use any timers for Reopener right?

As in, I just remember, i.e. reopener is 3 GCD after Shiva Cutscene, etc.?

[livid oasis]

hi guys wanted to ask if its better to use my silver choco feathers early than late. I just hit level 53 and im wondering if i should use them for level 50/60 gear or wait until i can use it for 70

[latent prism]

i mean if you have any kind of dps overlay it should show time elapsed

[ripe hound]

I see

[latent prism]

some fights are obvious though like shiva

[marble drift]

reopen after adds

literally pop the ENTIRE lot.

[ripe hound]

I think it don't really matter.

[marble drift]

pure uptime too.

[twilit karma]

I tend to use mechanics as timers though yeah, since they happen in a predictable manner and time

[ripe hound]

Just use it any time yo uwant

[latent prism]

for shiva most people burst 1st/2nd gcd post adds, and after slide mirror at north when the ice disappears (pre WL2)

[ripe hound]

Right, I mean as AST, I use Div on 3rd GCD after Adds

Since TA and stuff might need a GCD or 2 to come out

[latent prism]

yeah around that is good

[ripe hound]

kk

[marble drift]

Yeah mechanics as timers is good

[twilit karma]

Yeah it's a true reopener so things follow the 3rd or 5th GCD burst like a normal opener. Though a few are bit skewed, like BV is after 5th instead of before 3rd

[marble drift]

if you can get your entire "window" out. hold it

[dim pelican]

Is there a reason the ruby gwiber mount horn thing can't be bought with ruby totems? Or am i missing something

[twilit karma]

The mount horns for purchase are always added in later patches. It'll probably get added this next patch I would think

[dim pelican]

Oh you mean sosex is unique?

oh wait

[twilit karma]

Can you already buy that one? Because yeah it wouldn't be normal to have a current Ex be purchasable with totems the same patch it came out in

[dim pelican]

oh wait i just realized it can't be bought either lol

[marble drift]

Good work Linux

[twilit karma]

Haha yeah that makes more sense

[dim pelican]

makes me so much happier i got it on that 78th run 🤣

[lyric holly]

better than the 99th run at least!

[glad comet]

For Blue Mage log alliance raids, do all 3 parties need to be blue mage?

[quasi steppe]

I have an audio problem. In the cutscenes where characters are talking, it sounds like im having to listento the from across the hallway in a hollow room. All other audio is fine except when they talk

[teal dragon]

How many days can you stack gametime

[marble drift]

assuming you buy 180 days immediately after purchase. 210

or...more if you use those timecards I think? Dunno.

[twilit arch]

nope

180 is max

[gloomy ice]

I believe so, yeah.

[glad comet]

I see

[wispy dove]

were we meant to get the preview patch notes at some point today? i swear i saw that mentioned on reddit earlier

[marble drift]

we generally get them 1-2 days before

[twilit arch]

ye should get it sometime today

[glad comet]

in about 15 minutes

[wispy dove]

2 differing answers

[twilit arch]

prelims are usually dropped on friday

so yes we should get it sometime today

[ancient solar]

Can i buy the shawdown bringer without buying the starter

[marble drift]

yes. you'll need the base game to play however

[twilit arch]

if you don't already own the starter edition, then shadowbringers is useless

[ancient solar]

uhh

so if i want to play the samurai class

how much i need to spent

[open ember]

You need to have stormblood on your account

Registered

And you need a single class at least at lv50

[wintry chasm]

Uhhh

depends really on your currency and where you get it I guess

SE store has it for $60 (it does come with 30 free days)

[open ember]

I would just get the complete edition tbh

[ancient solar]

BUT THATS

too much

[open ember]

Sure but you can't play SB & SHB without upgrading your account from the trial version

Which means you need the starter edition first

[ancient solar]

NOOO

HIUHIUHIU

HIUHIUHIU

my Saving

not enough need to be like 2 more weeks

when will be the next sale

[open ember]

Christmas maybe

[ancient solar]

so like i have to wait for like

a month

lol

[open ember]

Not necessarily

Maybe like 2-3 weeks

Possibly less

[wintry chasm]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ancient solar]

2-3 wekks

OH no

half of month

[wintry chasm]

tbh I thought it was on sale right now but clearly it isn't

[open ember]

They don't announce their sales in advance. So we can't say

[ancient solar]

i was unlucky

my decided buy the game like after sale end

one day

If i buy the game yesterday

that would be 50% off

haha

[open ember]

They'll have a sale sooner than you think

I bought mine around this month for half off last year

Do I remember when exactly? No but I know it was December

[ancient solar]

can it be like next week

[potent shale]

Can you actually marry people so they're in the same Data Centre?

[twilit arch]

has to be same server

[open ember]

I wish I could say "yes" but idk hun. Just gotta be patient

[potent shale]

O h

[open ember]

Yeah marrying and attending wedding only works on same server

[coarse meadow]

Is there a lfg channel on discord?

[open ember]

You seem to be on aether so try #494379215420915712

[leaden ginkgo]

whats the most difficult dps to play?

[coarse meadow]

Thanks! That's typically for raid/ for right? I'll try in a bit.

[leaden ginkgo]

at a high level

[slate arrow]

depends on what you define by hard

though the job with the lowest skill floor is definitely Black Mage since there's so many things you can do to fuck up your DPS

[scarlet sandal]

Wouldn't that technically be Summoner

[remote lintel]

i say both

for diff reasons

[potent shale]

I say the hardest DPS mage is SMN

I struggle to play it now

[hardy coral]

late reply but yes squenix usually has a holiday sale ~2 weeks from now

[potent shale]

I found BLM and RDM are the easier ones

Blue Mage is a joke class, but it's op af

[storm echo]

no lifeing and skipping to SHB for yokai. doing BRD/SMN/SCH. any of them a must just for yokai?

[silver ruin]

tbh any is fine

[gloomy ice]

Not really? They’re all cosmetic. Up to you which ones you want first.

[silver ruin]

only thing that really has an advantage in earlier fates is blue mage with missile

[storm echo]

i main brd for ease

too late for blu i feel

[silver ruin]

yea

just use whatever you want

[storm echo]

i only need hw and shb

[silver ruin]

yea blus not as good in those areas

uh

no yokai stuff is in shadowbringers

are you thinking of stormblood?

[storm echo]

so i wanted to know if the 50-60 class quest is necessary

[silver ruin]

id say yes

they give skills

[storm echo]

if i can handle msq without those skills, just for yokai

i'm happy to fail at yokai goal lol

[silver ruin]

i mean you can but i really really really recommend against skipping job quests

[storm echo]

i;ll just do brd then tyt

ah yes SB. so 60+ lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you not get experience from battling normal monsters when in a party ?

[potent shale]

You get experience and drops

Apparently if you're in a party, even if you don't fight you'll still get drops from encounters regardless

So long one of your team members is fighting

[leaden ginkgo]

So why do I not get exp from being a party with my friend

Could it be that I’m level 8

Is it cuz I’m still at tutorial parts ?

[twilit arch]

what level is your friend

[leaden ginkgo]

23

[twilit arch]

that would be why

[leaden ginkgo]

?

[twilit arch]

if there's more than 10 level difference, you won't get exp

in a party

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahhhthank you so much

[potent shale]

Oh yeah with the Bonding Ceremony plan

You only get the mount if you pay for Gold/Platinum?

[twilit arch]

yes

[potent shale]

Also, you can just buy one plan right?

So you only need to pay for one?

[twilit arch]

both participants need the same plan

or it'll use the lower tier plan

[worthy basin]

speaking of eternal ceremony, i got an invitation for that tomorrow. I do i use it though?

[wintry chasm]

Just go to the wedding on time

[potent shale]

Ye

[wintry chasm]

and talk to the NPC by the gate when it's time

and have the invitation on hand

That's all you have to do really

[potent shale]

Also, do Eternal Bond ceremony ever go on sale?

[wintry chasm]

uhhh

[potent shale]

🤔

[wintry chasm]

I can't think of a single time

[worthy basin]

I just joined because there is a free minion when you attend one.

[silver ruin]

if its the platinum wedding you get 2 minions

[silver ruin]

rarely, they were a few months back though, i bought 2 gold bands for 14 instead of 20

i wouldnt hold your breath though if you really wanna get married

[potent shale]

Oh?

Why is that?

[silver ruin]

they dont announce sales ahead of time and those items arent normally the ones that go on sale

normally its like costumes or fantasia or mounts

[ancient solar]

Guys Can i buy the starter first then shawdow bringer

[twilit arch]

yeah

[silver ruin]

yes

[ancient solar]

CAn i only buy the stormblood

[twilit arch]

no

[ancient solar]

not the shadow bringer

[twilit arch]

not unless you somehow magically find a physical copy of stormblood lingering somewhere

[ancient solar]

is there any different between buy starter and shawdow bringer and buy the complete edition

[twilit arch]

nop, it'll be roughly the same price unless you can find one or the other on sale

[ancient solar]

oh no i cant wait unttil the next sale

CANT WAIT LOL

Is there anyway to wear the different class cloth

[slate arrow]

Can you clarify?

[ancient solar]

like a have a shirt from White mage

but im lancer

[warped nest]

No

If they are exclusive to a job or jobs

[ancient solar]

Can i glamour it

[warped nest]

They cannot be glamour to other jobs

However, their models might be shared with other gears

Use Garlandtools (website) to check

Search a gear, then see if it has a Shared Model subsection

[ancient solar]

thank youu

[warped nest]

This is a maybe

[silver ruin]

soooooo someone pmed me but my pf ended and now icant pm them

what do

i am getting "Unable to send /tell. That party is no longer accepting members"

i tried pming them like normal, same error

[gritty oracle]

type /tell Full Name@World Your message

[silver ruin]

same error

[gritty oracle]

they're probably in a restricted area then

[silver ruin]

thats why i was asking LOL

f

ok thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

What does character and object quantity does ? Like if I select minimum will I not see players ?

[gritty oracle]

you'll see some

just not a lot, and people will fade in and out constantly

[honest anvil]

so there’s this quest in bozja making me travel to an area where too many mobs will aggro and kill me before i can finish interacting, what do i do?

[silver ruin]

should be a lost stealth action you can obtain to use

[honest anvil]

i see, will look for that one

[fierce cobalt]

whats the rule around wondrous tails rewards? this week its all poetics but last week i had the option of lvl 80 tomestones

[silver ruin]

its liike that this way cause they're phasing out phantasmagoria

[fierce cobalt]

ah so its a "this week only" thing?

[silver ruin]

yep

[fierce cobalt]

ok I only started handing in 80 books so i didnt know, thanks

[gritty oracle]

Do phanta mats still sell okay?

[slate arrow]

probably not, since we're right on the edge of a new raid tier

[gritty oracle]

oof

[ancient solar]

is white mage strong

than astro

[zealous flower]

white mage has more pure healing, astro has more utility/buffs i guess?

[gritty oracle]

yeah

white mage is basic, but extremely effective. AST requires a lot of effort to play well, but can really boost your raid's damage

also AST has more ogcds

[ancient solar]

thank you

is conjur

is white mage

[gritty oracle]

I personally prefer AST because WHM is a nightmare to weave with

[zealous flower]

CNJ goes to WHM at lv30 yes

(do your job quests!)

[ancient solar]

thanks

haha

[gloomy mortar]

Is there a mission after Sleeps in Sapphire? Or is it to be continued in the next patch?

[twilit arch]

its going to be continued in 5.4

[crystal ginkgo]

can anyone help me with upgrading to full version?

[wintry chasm]

What's up?

[crystal ginkgo]

i have an activation key but somehow error occured

[wintry chasm]

Where did you get this key and where are you putting it?

[crystal ginkgo]

i bought it from square enix store and was trying to put it at mog station

does it not work like that?

[wintry chasm]

That sounds fine

What part of Mogstation especifically

[crystal ginkgo]

can i send a screenshot?

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

[wintry chasm]

riiight

error code?

So far this all checks out

[crystal ginkgo]

it showed thing like this

[wintry chasm]

ugh

2501 is a super generic error

If I had to guess it's just some connection problem

[gloomy mortar]

Are jobs being extended to 90 or just 89 with 520 gear?

[crystal ginkgo]

eh?

[wintry chasm]

You using a VPN or something?

(my internet is dying)

[wintry chasm]

neither

[crystal ginkgo]

no

[twilit arch]

no discord is

[crystal ginkgo]

however i am not from europe region idk if this affects

[wintry chasm]

Fun

Where did you get the code from? Was it an european version?

[crystal ginkgo]

yes

[wintry chasm]

Aha

[twilit arch]

some suggestions for i2501 fix is: try a different browser, try using mobile data

[wintry chasm]

is...your mogstation account bound to europe or America?

[scarlet sandal]

discord is i general dying not just you

[crystal ginkgo]

and my account is registered under europe region

[twilit arch]

outside that, contact support or try again in a day or two, and hope it fixes itself

[crystal ginkgo]

so this is mainly caused by connection issue

welp

[twilit arch]

basically something is triggering their system

which is why you're getting that error, the fact its a broad/generic error makes it hard to diagnose

sometimes it just fixes itself

[crystal ginkgo]

well ok thanks for answering, hopefully it goes away earlier

[thorny mulch]

Just returned to the game. Haven't played since 2014! Anyway, I just hit Lv. 36 and joined the Immortal Flames. Finished the chocobo mount quest, but there are no delivery quests available for IF. When are those quests usually available?

[wintry chasm]

the provisions things unlock when you unlock crafting and gathering classes

Expert delivery you need to rank up enough in your grand company to unlock

(second lieutenant)

[twilit arch]

sergeant second class

[wintry chasm]

Er

yes

that's the one

(I'm very tired)

[verbal rune]

There are 13 raids per exqnpsionx,right?

[gritty oracle]

12

[thorny mulch]

Guess I need to up the level for my armor crafting. Any other way to get flame seals?

[twilit arch]

Coil is an exception

[gritty oracle]

the bahamut series is an outlier

[twilit arch]

in that its got 13

[verbal rune]

Ok, got it

[gritty oracle]

Leveling roulette, fates, if you're a high enough rank handing in dungeon gear

[twilit arch]

grand company hunting log

[wintry chasm]

Not sure what you mean by the first part but yeah hunting log is the way to go

[twilit arch]

you'll need to get that done for promotions

[wintry chasm]

also it's just a heap of seals

[thorny mulch]

Got it.

[gloomy mortar]

How come Gunbreaker has only 1 glowing weapon for sale, compared to others?

[wintry chasm]

Shadowbringers job

When they came out they were at level 60 so they wouldn't have access to the level 50 primal weaps but on top of that they generally didn't bother making the old glowy weaps for them

[teal dragon]

how do you get the flaming gold weapon

[wintry chasm]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

That sounds like the Unending Coils of Bahamaut weapon but got a pic to confirm?

I can think of one other flaming gold weapon

[halcyon tulip]

HoH weapon is also orange and glowy-ish

[teal dragon]

this one larry uses

[gloomy mortar]

Any updates to DoL gear or retainers in 5.4?

[scarlet sandal]

theres other glowy ones like Shinrryu

[wintry chasm]

Yeah that's the unending coils of Bahamut Katana

Have fun with getting that lol

[teal dragon]

welp nope

nope

[scarlet sandal]

i wouls love to do that like id spends days and hours on it

if it could do it without other real people

but as such its a mmo

[gloomy mortar]

I have ~2500 gathering and perception on a lvl80, but even for lvl 20 nodes, still get the same rate of HQ bonus and gathering attempts bonus. So how does G&P work? Level 80 nodes give bonuses to gathering over 1700 and perception over 900 or so. 2500 unnecessary?

[twilit arch]

HQ caps out at 15%

ignoring any bonus from the node itself

[teal dragon]

as a maschinist which stat should i be focusing on?

[twilit arch]

while leveling, ilvl and dex

[teal dragon]

crit?

[twilit arch]

at max lvl, ilvl/main stat > Crit > DH/Det > SkS.

[teal dragon]

ok

[twilit arch]

while you're leveling, secondaries don't make that much of a difference that you should be worrying about it

[ancient solar]

are there any promote code

[wintry chasm]

No?

[slate arrow]

no.

[willow kayak]

if you unsync castrum/prae do you still need to watch the cutscenes

[twilit arch]

yes

[willow kayak]

[gilded bronze]

if i use partyfinder to let a free trial friend join me. can we still use dutyfinder?

[gritty oracle]

can you join pf as trial?

[twilit arch]

yes

to both questions

[gritty oracle]

also you can use player search to invite your friend

[gilded bronze]

and free trial can recruit members with partyfinder?

[gritty oracle]

don't think so

[gilded bronze]

because im free trial yet and i clicked on recruit member and it didnt show "this is locked for trial"

[gritty oracle]

huh

[twilit arch]

i believe you can, since you can be given party lead

you just can't start a party on your own

[gilded bronze]

ill try later with a friend if we can do that

that could help us a lot while im close to finish hw

[leaden ginkgo]

So how do you guys handle your subscriptions, do you add time (is that even a thing) or do you wait till your sub is over and renew

[scarlet sandal]

i pay 60 days at a time then if i want to ill do another when its low or if not ill wait

[leaden ginkgo]

How much is it for 60 days ?

[scarlet sandal]

$30

[green grail]

i just have entry sub set up and i cancel it when i dont wanna play

[scarlet sandal]

you can do a 30 day for $15

[leaden ginkgo]

But the 60 day one, is it the time card thing ? Or can you actually buy 60 days online

[scarlet sandal]

i pay with prepaid digtial cards from amazon ive heard horror stories about using your card on mogstation itself so me being over dramatic me i play it safe

[low wedge]

is there a cheaper option instead of 15 dollars?

[slate arrow]

12.99 entry

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

[low wedge]

ah cool!

[silver ruin]

i personally pay it monthly cause i have extra retainers and my total sub is $29

[green grail]

its called entry but you can use it whenever you want

bad naming scheme

[low wedge]

also another question

[scarlet sandal]

another answere

[low wedge]

im completely new to this gsme! just started today

but im having trouble understanding how classes work

i chose Gladiator as my first class

[slate arrow]

tl;dr do class quests > get to 30 > unlock job

[low wedge]

can i "evolve" it into something? like earrior?

[slate arrow]

for expansion jobs, you only have to have a class/job at the unlock level

[low wedge]

warrior*

[slate arrow]

yes, but no

gladiator only goes into Paladin

Maurader > Warrior

etc etc etc

[low wedge]

Noooooo shoot!

[little swift]

Classes have a direct upgrade to the equivalent job

[low wedge]

ahhh i see now!

[slate arrow]

You can class change at level 10 once you finish the level 10 class quest

[little swift]

You'd have to switch if you want to play another job

[low wedge]

i ultimately want to be a ninja! but im not sure how i could do that?

[agile night]

I'm kind of surprised they didn't go with marauder to warrior OR dark knight with the expansion, wouldn't be the first with arcanist

or well, something along those lines

[hasty musk]

except the devs hate the job stone system

[slate arrow]

because expansion jobs only require a minimum level

[little swift]

They decided that was God awful

[slate arrow]

they don't have prereqs

[little swift]

And to never do that again, split jobs

[slate arrow]

besides owning the expansion

[agile night]

ah. is that a remnant of 1.0 or something?

[slate arrow]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

and are you able to add time to your sub without a time card?

[slate arrow]

yes, on mogstation

[scarlet sandal]

they work tirelessly to separate smn and sch

[low wedge]

so what would i have to go if i want to play ninja?

[hasty musk]

rogue

[glass oxide]

Ninja starts with rogue

[little swift]

Rogue

[hasty musk]

it starts in Limsa

[low wedge]

oohhh i have no idea how i could get there hahaha

[slate arrow]

You cannot start as a rogue, you need to be level 10 on any other class first

[wintry chasm]

Since it starts in Limsa I'd start as one of the Limsa starting classes

[hasty musk]

the story will take you there

[low wedge]

im in the uldah place

[wintry chasm]

Oh

[slate arrow]

you get access to the other cities at level 15 in the story

[wintry chasm]

Yeah keep doing main story

[leaden ginkgo]

Add Subscription
Add Game Time Card
Steam Payment

is it any of those options

?

[slate arrow]

Add Subscription

You'll get the option of using a credit card or crysta

[low wedge]

ah okay! i will continue the story then

also i am on a trial account, does that mean my game time will expire once i reach level 10?

[wintry chasm]

No

[low wedge]

i heard that someone where not sure if its true

[wintry chasm]

Free trial account is indefinite

[agile night]

trial you can reach 60

[wintry chasm]

You can't go past level 60

and you have the base game and first expansion content to go through at your leisure

[low wedge]

oh my gosh!

that has to be 100s of hours worth right?

[hasty musk]

it can be

if you do all the stuff

[wintry chasm]

Definitely can be yeah

It's super generous

It's literally half the game

[obsidian patio]

Most of the free trial restrictions are social stuff

[agile night]

I've been playing pretty actively for a month or so. and I'm around 50ish, just past arr and into the first expansion now

[leaden ginkgo]

So if i were to buy a sub here, and my current sub is active, it would combine the days?

[low wedge]

i just cant wait till i get to the first xpac

[wintry chasm]

I wouldn't get too excited

[hasty musk]

heavensward good

[wintry chasm]

If you get super excited about the first expansion you might burn yourself trying to get there

[low wedge]

my friends keep talking about how good shadow is but im just a newbie whos trying to learn

[wintry chasm]

Just take your time and appreciate what's in front of you

that's my advice

[robust notch]

@leaden ginkgo Won't it just add a scheduled payment for when your sub is going to expire?

[hasty musk]

what Cal said

[low wedge]

okay! will do @wintry chasm

[wintry chasm]

(I am Cal)

[slate arrow]

only if it's the same sub

if you want to go down a tier, you'll need to have the subscription expire

[leaden ginkgo]

wdym same sub? like same amount of time?

[slate arrow]

Standard vs Entry

[low wedge]

im assuming it takes a long time to get to the dirst xpac right?

[leaden ginkgo]

so if i have the entry and i wanna get the 90 day

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

[silver ruin]

depends on what you do

but generaly yes

[wintry chasm]

it's a lot of main story to get through Spicy

[silver ruin]

^

[slate arrow]

You'll have to let your Entry sub expire

[silver ruin]

ff is story first mmo second

[leaden ginkgo]

gotcha

[low wedge]

ahhh

just wish i could play it with someone haha

[silver ruin]

you'll get dungeons that you can do with people

at like level 15

[low wedge]

i get pretty lonely out there 🥺

[leaden ginkgo]

In subs it says 180 days ($89.94 $77.94 SAVE $12.00!), does anyone know if that discount applies for other money currencies ?

[slate arrow]

it should

[wintry chasm]

Yeah well, you'll unlock dungeons and stuff eventually Spicy

[agile night]

I always enjoyed when I'd find a quest buddy. we didn't usually talk to eachother, but hey it's someone to run around with who's doing the same quests

[low wedge]

im glad! i really enjoy the story but i am a huge fan of raids and dungeons across all the other mmos ive played

not into pvp that much tho

[wintry chasm]

PvP isn't so big in this game anyway

[silver ruin]

pvp is kinda ^

[wintry chasm]

It's got some fun modes though like Rival Wings

[silver ruin]

you'll get a dungeon or an 8 man thing every few levels

[agile night]

dungeons will be a mandatory part of the main story

[wintry chasm]

Shame people don't run PvP so much

[scarlet sandal]

it blew up duirng mog tomes

[low wedge]

i just cant believe this game is free

well ya know what i mean

[scarlet sandal]

its kinda dummy crazy how much is free

[low wedge]

like all that content they offer for free

is what i meant

[hasty musk]

the part you pay for just gets better

[agile night]

yeah there's a lot there. I've bought the game now but still not anywhere near done with the content that was free

[hasty musk]

I have more time in this game after 7 months than any other game I've ever played

[scarlet sandal]

its all a ploy to get you to spend more money evntually buying it

[low wedge]

my only fear is...once i get hooked and get the sub eventually i dont want to spend 100s of hours going through other xpac stories to get to the "endgame"

is that a thing?

[hasty musk]

ehhhh

[silver ruin]

100s of hours no

40 hours? possibly

100s of hours means you took afuck ton of detours and did side content

[tawny quest]

Yeah this was always exciting to me, it’s why I’m excited for the new patch, first time I’m doing new content together with everyone else

[low wedge]

everyone seems to tell me the story takes forreeveer?

[silver ruin]

it does

but not hundreds of hours

maybe 80-100

[low wedge]

the real question is...how long is forvee 😂

[silver ruin]

but hundreds no

[low wedge]

forever*

ah gotcha

[silver ruin]

really depends if you get distracted by stuff tbh, that'll pile on more time it takes to complete

[low wedge]

when you say 80-100, is that total?

or per xpac

[scarlet sandal]

its about 4 games worth long right now of storyline

[silver ruin]

tiotal

total

f

[low wedge]

okay and do the server youre on make a big difference?

[wintry chasm]

Honestly I'm not a fan of answering this kind of question since it depends on so much. Even just how fast you read will add or take off hours

Types of Worlds

Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.

Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.

Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.

New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.

Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.

the only part of server picking that really makes a difference is picking a preferred server or not
