...............does the free sub time apply to extra retainers?
low wedge
i think my server type is called "NA legacy" or something
agile night
Oh, is there anything you can do across different data centers? I started on Aether because that's where a friend was. then I learned another friend plays but they're on Crystal.
silver ruin
Oh, is there anything you can do across different data centers? I started on Aet...
nope
hasty musk
that just means it was one of the 1.0 servers
silver ruin
you can transfer nomeru but only once every 90 days and it'll cost you 18 dollars
scarlet sandal
i think you also get 15 free days one time deal for getting to lv30 on preferred server
silver ruin
^
yep
but my questions is: does that apply to your extra retainers too? or would i still have to pay those :v
low wedge
oh also!
wintry chasm
Yes Spicy?
low wedge
if were to get a sub during my trial
wintry chasm
You won't be on trial
silver ruin
you cant without owning the game
agile night
Ouch. Well that's good to know there's an option I guess.
wintry chasm
and you can't go back
low wedge
can i go back
silver ruin
no
low wedge
dammnnn yall quick
obsidian patio
90 day restriction for transferring is only for transferring as a player who transferred to a preferred world or a new character on a preferred world
Otherwise it’s 3 days
silver ruin
oh
agile night
oh that's not too bad
low wedge
if i get shadow will it include previous expansions as well?
silver ruin
wynne do you know if the 15 days from getting a character to 30 on a preferred server will apply to extra retainers? or do i still gotta shell out for the retainers for those 15 days
silver ruin
if i get shadow will it include previous expansions as well?
yes but you need the base game
wintry chasm
^
silver ruin
so its 60$ total
wintry chasm
Base game is the base game
then Shadowbringers is everything else
base game comes with 30 days btw
warped nest
I am fairly sure that paid retainers are not included
obsidian patio
The 15 days doesn’t apply to extra retainers. It actually “cancels” the retainers once the days happen
low wedge
so i guess i get starter and then shadow?
obsidian patio
You just need to reapply for them once they cancel to fix it
silver ruin
ok thats digusting, thanks guys
silver ruin
so i guess i get starter and then shadow?
yep otherwise theres a complete edition which is both in 1 purchase
wintry chasm
so i guess i get starter and then shadow?
Or complete edition which is both at once
low wedge
ahhhh very cool
i have to say
yall are the most insightful people
ive ever met in any mmo discord
i almost got shadowlands...asked questions in the WoW discord
all i got was crickets
hasty musk
we have to maintain the idea that FFXIV has nice players so people keep coming
silver ruin
people ingame are generally helpful too
theres athing called the novice network...is there a kupo bot command for that
marble drift
And our developers actually know balance
agile night
yeah in a month everyone has been pretty nice. I had one experience where I entered a dungeon for the first time and one guy's response was "oh no a first timer", but then he was very nice and helpful, things went smoothly
low wedge
and i also tried to inv them to a party
wintry chasm
!faq freetrial
zinc orbitBOT
marble drift
Trial prevents that. to stop bots
wintry chasm
Limitations are linked here
low wedge
awww
marble drift
bots and gold sellers are still here.
silver ruin
hey cal is there a novice network kupo bot command
wintry chasm
I dunno
low wedge
they should add an auth system where you confirm youre not a bot
and it should let you 😂
idk i think someone can inv me to one ho
marble drift
well they still want you to buy the game
silver ruin
basically the novice network is an ingame chat that newbies can join to ask questiosn
low wedge
tho*
marble drift
and they give you a ton of content for free.
silver ruin
you can go to one of the cities and ask for an invite
hasty musk
disclaimer: novice network isn't officially moderated
silver ruin
that too
hasty musk
so quality can vary
low wedge
ya thats why i like discord better tbh
agile night
honestly I never used novice network, just came here or asked a friend when I had questions.
low wedge
experienced players and a lot clearer answers
hasty musk
I didn't even know novice network existed until like halfway through heavensward
silver ruin
fair enough, idk what the nn on excal is like
marble drift
Late Heavensward.
patent citrus
i started this April 😂
warped nest
Since late 2013, I have stopped for maybe around 18-20 months here and there
hasty musk
since May
silver ruin
played for about a year back in..........2015? 2016? quit, came back late may this year
agile night
about a month
low wedge
how would guys rate the pace of this game compared to other big titles?
hasty musk
in terms of
warped nest
Story pacing or..?
hasty musk
like general progression?
patent citrus
i don't understand that question 😂
low wedge
level progression, getting to thr "end game" ig
patent citrus
you mean like new raid every 6 months thing?
hasty musk
it's pretty chill
low wedge
yeah ultimately getting to the raid stage
hasty musk
there's no real demand on you to actually get there, so you can go at your own pace
warped nest
Imo, it is best that you treat this as a single player RPG with co op dungeon
So enjoy the game at your own pace
Don't worry about rushing to the end
patent citrus
if it's your own pace, it's subjective i guess 😂
low wedge
okay! thats fair
warped nest
There is always a new endgame to chase
marble drift
FF game first, MMO 2nd
patent citrus
it's not your job, so need to rush it
marble drift
so. Story is good but slow.
low wedge
i assume this game is just as good on controller too?
agile night
I felt bad at first making people sit through cutscenes, everyone said they didn't mind. Then I got to prae, and see people will put up with a lot
marble drift
yes
warped nest
It is very good on controller
hasty musk
controller's fine, yeah
patent citrus
yeh, I think all JP games are good for controller lol
wintry chasm
i assume this game is just as good on controller too?
I prefer it over keyboard
patent citrus
console game market is bigger there
low wedge
you guys plug your controller in on pc too?
marble drift
Honestly mad props if you can raid on a controller. I would be useless without my keyboard
wintry chasm
I do
warped nest
I'm on PS4
marble drift
My raid leader does.
hasty musk
I don't, but I hear good things from pc and ps4 players
marble drift
Laptop to raid with a PS4 controller attached.
wintry chasm
The only thing that I will admit kinda sucks about controller is you can't simply click on other people
low wedge
ahh
silver ruin
gotta scroll dow nthe party list
warped nest
Controller cannot beat mouse, but thankfully mouse is not essential during fast pace section in most cases
silver ruin
controller is totally fine though
marble drift
similar to any controller movement basically
warped nest
Only need at most 4 input to reach any party member in the party list
low wedge
alright cool!
wintry chasm
Controller cannot beat mouse, but thankfully mouse is not essential during fast ...
Eh I hate movement on PC
silver ruin
Only need at most 4 input to reach any party member in the party list
savage 8 person says what
nvm im dumb
yea thats about right
low wedge
so im assuming since im on the trial ill be having to make my own gear and stuff to stay relevant?
silver ruin
you get gear from dungeons
wintry chasm
No
low wedge
cause i cant use the marketplace
halcyon tulip
Story gives plenty of gear
warped nest
Crafting is optional
low wedge
oh okay
wintry chasm
Main story decks you out with the minimum you need at all times
let alone other methods like dungeons and level cap tomestone gear which is easy to get
low wedge
thats really good to hear
wintry chasm
and lasts a fair while
patent citrus
no need, just do roulette once a day and do blue and main story quest 😂
plenty of equipment laying around
agile night
there are provisional quests and trade leves that if you want to do, you'll have to make them, but those are optional
wintry chasm
Don't forget NPC too
Honestly that's a big waste
warped nest
Grand Company (in game NPC alliance) have okay gear too, plus they are probably the earliest things you can get that looks nice
marble drift
these symbols.
low wedge
yeah what do those blue ones with a plus mean again?
wintry chasm
It unlocks something
warped nest
It will unlock something
agile night
they unlock new features
wintry chasm
What it unlocks can be VERY varied
for example one can unlock a raid
one can unlock the hairdresser
warped nest
It is a general icon
wintry chasm
One can give an emote or something
halcyon tulip
You can also play all classes on one character, you can unlock other classes with blue quests too
hasty musk
dungeons, logs, haircuts, glamour, dyeing, jobs, etc
wintry chasm
Where the Heart Is
hasty musk
don't even worry about housing
marble drift
your trial account can be seamless upgraded to real in a jiffy
agile night
oh yeah, I did that one 3 times before I could do anything there
warped nest
The only we will recommend avoiding are the job quests, if you don't want to unlock them
marble drift
and any progress you made with retain
wintry chasm
If you really want to know what something unlocks in advance you can use this
!faq contentunlock
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
Otherwise, just unlock any stuffs you can reach
silver ruin
^ job quests normally start with "so you want to be a...."
hasty musk
always do the job quests for the job you're leveling though
low wedge
ah i see
hasty musk
they are very important
low wedge
very cool guys
silver ruin
what faqs said is right, they unlock your class upgrade and more skills
low wedge
well thats about all the buring wuestions i had for you tonight
wintry chasm
well thats about all the buring wuestions i had for you tonight
See you tomorrow lol
low wedge
you guys are truly awesome!
marble drift
we'll be here if you have any more.
low wedge
thank you so much! i appreciate all yall
warped nest
There is a red UI
hasty musk
hope you have fun with the game
wintry chasm
warped nest
Underneath it, you might see a exclamation mark if you have any pending job quest
low wedge
i am having loads rn
low wedge
always feels really good to discover new things in a mmo
warped nest
Thanks, Show me 5.4
wintry chasm
don't show me 5.4
low wedge
the more i learn the more fun youll have right? 😂
wintry chasm
Sure
To add onto what Chronos said
that little quest underneath the main story quest (in this picture it's "Way of the Lancer") it isn't just job quests
It can also be other really important quests like....the one to be able to get your chocobo to fight with you in combat at level 30 for example
low wedge
do i get my first mount at level 30?
wintry chasm
It doesn't show ALL of the super important quests, but you should always do any that appear anyway
No
low wedge
20?
wintry chasm
You can't just grind to 20 and unlock it because main story
warped nest
Yeah, almost everything is locked behind story level
low wedge
thanks again!
wintry chasm
o/
warped nest
No problem, glad that we can help
gritty oracle
So the level requirement for the ShB roulette map is 80, but the ShB dungeon map doesn't have such a requirement. So if I clear a map with a party member who's not 80, will I automatically get slotted into the dungeon?
zinc orbitBOT
hasty musk
So the level requirement for the ShB roulette map is 80, but the ShB dungeon map...
what exactly are you asking?
gritty oracle
Is it possible to force the Dungeons of Pixie Words with entering a treasure dungeon with someone under level 80?
Since apparently the Shifting Obliques of Pixie Words has a level requirement of 80
I'm not going to attempt to spell the pixie words
marble drift
I assume the lack of requirements was just a patch note oversight. I assume you can't rig the system like that
obsidian patio
They don’t have a strict requirement of 80, if they’re anything like the older treasure dungeons
Since I remember people trying BLU in Uznair/Aquapolis when it came out
gritty oracle
The dungeon definitely doesn't have a requirement. I started doing zonureskins around lv75
robust notch
Are you talking about The Dungeons of Lyhe Ghiah?
Because I'm fairly certain that pops up 100% of the time when you do Zonureskin Maps and you get a portal
gritty oracle
Yeah because the roulette map isn't in the game yet
robust notch
Yeah, it isn't
gritty oracle
Prelim notes just came out and the roulette map apparently has a level requirement of 80
robust notch
According to the wiki, The Dungeons of Lyhe Ghiah also has a requirement of 80
but if you can go in without being 80, then that's alright
Might work for the new map
gritty oracle
Huh
gritty oracle
That's weird. Might have been patched.
robust notch
Could be old information
Gamerescape just says "Disciple of War or Magic" with no level requirement
gritty oracle
Consolegameswiki can be ... Unreliable
robust notch
I'll just assume that you get put into the treasure dungeon you have the requirements for
No way of knowing for sure until the patch is released
And if you have requirements for both, it's probably 50/50
silver ruin
It is manually maintained
isnt the gamerescape wiki manually maintained too?
gritty oracle
I think garland tools datamines
warped nest
That it does
robust notch
The consolegames page was last updated 24th of September 2020, so it was a while ago
gritty oracle
Oh wow
warped nest
I will bet that console still have gears with parry stat
gritty oracle
It's a shame because with bad internet, gamerescape takes forever to load, while consolegameswiki is so much faster
robust notch
I have 250/250 mbps and gamerescape loads slow for me at times as well, so yeah
A bit of a shame
buoyant sorrel
Was there a level 80 training dummy somewhere in SHB? I'm trying to get used to a different set up
gritty oracle
I thiiiiink there's some like somewhere around the Crystarium. Housing disctircts have a bunch as well, just steal someone's yard
buoyant sorrel
Oh I forgot about housing districts ty!
gritty oracle
A bunch of people have dummies in their yards
If you just wanna do your rotation, really any dummy will do
Thanks autocorrect
robust notch
Was there a level 80 training dummy somewhere in SHB? I'm trying to get used to ...
You can use a level 1 dummy at Summerford Farms. Makes no difference.
The lower the level of the dummy, the better.
gritty oracle
The only reason to use 80 ones is calculating dps
robust notch
Oh? They're different?
gritty oracle
Different level dummies have different defense values
And if you're a low level hitting a high level dummy you may miss
That's literally the only difference between the dummies
robust notch
Yes, but you said a level 80 is only used for calculating dps, which made me think it's better for calculating dps than my Oriental Dummy at level 1
I thought the missing was the only difference
gritty oracle
Yeah because the lv1 dummy has a lower defense value so you inherently deal more damage to it
Which may throw off some calculations
But if you just want to iron out your rotation it doesn't matter
Dummies aren't good for calculating dps anyways because they don't throw mechanics at you
its also why I think SSS is useless
outer plank
@robust notch you could just go to stone sea sky testing dummies for one of the current savage raids
robust notch
I have a dummy at my house. Was just curious about the whole defense value thing, as I've never heard of it before.
outer plank
@robust notch its to prevent enemies from having drastically inflated hp pools.
static grotto
does it matter which duty I run, or I get more spirit bond at higher lvls?
obsidian patio
Gear-dependent
gritty oracle
An example: On Byakko unsync, I can hit 92k direct crit stardivers. On SoS ex, highest I've got was like 60k.
buoyant sorrel
I ended up in the first SHB Trial and realized my layout for my WHM was awful (enough to get me through most of the game)
robust notch
I mean defense values on dummies. Figured they had infinite hp, so defense values wouldn't be a thing?
obsidian patio
Gear basically has an invisible item level range that determines what duties effectively spiritbond gear
gritty oracle
I'm assuming defense values on dummies are a thing so you can calculate hypothetical DPS more accurately
obsidian patio
So level 45 gear for example would spiritbond effectively in Aurum Vale and Castrum/Praetorium, as an example.
honest anvil
What content is this?
obsidian patio
Qitana Ravel using the new explore system coming in 5.4
static grotto
yea my gear's ha;f 90 half 38-40, I need t3 materia, so best to run dzemael to aurum then?
cause screw castrum and praetorium movies
obsidian patio
Yep
static grotto
k, thanks!
gritty oracle
Prae gives good xp
static grotto
am I matched with my server only, or is it all servers in Duty Finder?
gritty oracle
All servers within DC
obsidian patio
All servers in your datacenter
static grotto
i know but I already suffered one Praetorium, it's ennough for me XD
gritty oracle
Trust me aurum is worse
gritty oracle
Good for you
static grotto
intense for WHM but oh well
beats spending 10 minutes in queues to level up my thm
gritty oracle
Just wait until you get an undergeared sprout tank who pulls the entire first room
static grotto
how bad does ping make the game, I'm from UK but playing on US server, basically cause friend plays there, and hes there cause one of his friends played there XD
would I benefit much from releveling in a EU side?
gritty oracle
You can't double weave above 170 ping
obsidian patio
The game is playable for the most part up to 200 ping
gritty oracle
Ping sucks so much
obsidian patio
Past that some jobs become wildly unplayable
rigid narwhal
and the higher your ping the more you have the mash the buttons to double weave
obsidian patio
Red Mage for example becomes an absolute nightmare with high ping
static grotto
i heard mch becomes a nightmare with even a bit of ping
gritty oracle
I don't recommend playing on NA as EU at all. I'm in that situation and it sucks
obsidian patio
Because you start casting spells before you get the Dualcast buff, so you have to constantly wait for the buff to apply or interrupt yourself
gritty oracle
Also bard because you constantly have to youbke weave
static grotto
trials only get one character between all DCs though, no?
gritty oracle
Eh you have to have like 250+ ping or bad lag for dualcast not to register
Nooe
Trial can have I think 40 chars
obsidian patio
One per world, with a total maximum of 8
worthy basin
trials only get one character between all DCs though, no?
8 i think
it's like the entry version of sub
static grotto
ah, so I can level in EU whilst keeping my US character?
worthy basin
yes
static grotto
hmmm, tempts me so much
static grotto
this took me a while though XD
worthy basin
I really want to consider moving to NA, but the ping is so high and different timezones 
.
gritty oracle
I'm playing in NA while living in EU and regretting every second of it
lunar lake
this took me a while though XD
this will be done in no time if you just play consistent and do daylies
gritty oracle
Also the timezones suck. Everything happens after 2am EU time on NA
static grotto
yea I got up to high 30s low 40s and then friend's like 'do you do leves or supply missions?'
I was like 'the what now?'
gritty oracle
Neither, do Ishgard instead
worthy basin
supply missions then ishgard
static grotto
I have just finished 2.0 like 2h ago
worthy basin
i mean at the same time
static grotto
I will have to redo the MSQ again in a new DC, right?
worthy basin
yes
static grotto
diff between Chaos and Light?
obsidian patio
!faq worldpick
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
Basically just moogle/shiva
hollow wraith
I really like gc supply missions, they give obnoxious exp for minimal effort
can't power level with them tho
obsidian patio
Chaos has Moogle and Light has Shiva
static grotto
I think i got 2m exp for supplying a pair of underpants
moogle is french mainly, right?
so basically I will get double bonus for 90 days or up to lv70?
in preferred server
static grotto
how"s Spriggan like?
forest lark
Is Twintania good?
I've been thinking now for a while to change worlds, I don't know which one should I go for on Light though
I was thinking either of Odin or Lich
Since Shiva is german and Zodiark italian
hasty musk
why do you want to change worlds
forest lark
Well, msot of my friends are either on Odin or Lich and because of FC
most"
I'm currently on Twintania and I don't really like it there 
hasty musk
I mean if you think being in an FC with your friends is worth the money to transfer, then go right ahead

5.40 is not affecting Ishgard Restoration. Rankings and (likely) new materials are being added at the same time with 5.41.
worthy basin
Can I get a pop up sound when I'm done finishing up my macro in crafting?
I think I can get that pop up sound when queueing though
marble drift
you can play a sound when your crafting macro is finished. but it will not tab you in or play while minimised like dungeon queues iirc
so you'll need to untick the box that prevents sounds while tabbed out and listen for it
worthy basin
so you'll need to untick the box that prevents sounds while tabbed out and liste...
that sound is system sounds or sound effects?
i'm going to mute everything else other than that
marble drift
sound effects I think?
test both. get back to me :3
its just <se.#>
being your number of choice.
worthy basin
it is sound effects 😆
marble drift
thanks 
worthy basin
wait, you need to unmute the system sounds too so you can hear the macro finishing up.
marble drift
yeah. I generally have both unmuted and have FF on my main screen while I browse the web on the 2nd
gloomy ice
LT is local time. ST is GMT I think? And ET is in game time.
warped nest
Did I opened your eye like how the Ancient One did with Steven Strange?
gloomy ice
Anyway yeah there’s a setting you can tick that lets you display any or all combinations up in the time display. I always have local time and Eorzea time displayed.
oblique yew
till when can i hold off the job quests for?
i am currently lvl 41 doing lvl 34 msq, i feel like i am doing well with the current spells and gear i am getting from the msq.
oblique yew
i am asking this because i am playing as paladin, and i am thinking of switching to drk once i reach ishgard
faint flare
You're griefing if you dont do them because you're lacking important skills
night swift
Those skills are really important for tanking the dungeons that lead into ishgard. Not having all your damage resistances puts stress on the healer and group
faint flare
People will kick you very quickly from dungeons when they find out
There's 0 reason to hold off on job quests
Plus the gear from the lv45 and 50 job quests are better than what story gives

hard quartz
anyone know if there is a discord or know someone that will make a full crafted set on day 1 as soon as servers go up on tuesday for a reasonable price?
cursive terrace
You know how the ff8 world map theme plays in the eden starting area?
Is there an orchestrion roll of it?
nvm there is

@hard quartz no. You'd have deal with MB prices or ask a friend to craft it for you
willow kayak
can you not do bozja on a lv 70 class? im trying to go in as BLM but it's not letting me. class is exactly level 70
willow kayak
smh cause if you try to change in the area it says "no classes under level 70" and not "70 or under"
open ember
It says in the explanation you must be lv71 to go into Bozja with that class
wispy parcel
Level 70 is still technically stormblood content
open ember
Any leveling instance for the previous expac is 1 level above its cap
To access HoH its 61
So SHB is 71
Not any different
faint flare
Yes
manic flare
People will kick you very quickly from dungeons when they find out
will people really kick for that reason?
open ember
They'll probably kick you for not having a jobstone either
Its pretty obvious if you're missing skills or not
manic flare
i mean, i am not happy if i see someone with a basic class without a job in stone vigil, but if they play well and use their damage mitigation i will roll with it as a healer
open ember
Its a determinant to the team but its up to the party if the kick is necessary
open ember
Its a dps loss and like 90% of your skills are like. Gone
open ember
Like. Its not even a matter of "they can do it" its a matter of "these skills are necessary and if you dont have it your party is gonna suffer"
gloomy mortar
Can Yokai weapons be put in armoire?
faint flare
Yes
manic flare
what is the armory system?
gloomy ice
That last part is kind of redundant as completing your first level 10 class quest is what unlocks the armory system in the first place. The armory system is the class changing thing.
honest anvil
what’s max rank in bozja?
gloomy ice
15
honest anvil
that’s surprisingly low
open ember
They'll probably raise it later
honest anvil
and fast-ish
open ember
For now, its 15
faint flare
You need 700k mettle to hit it
worthy basin
that's a lot of fates
faint flare
The amount of mettle does increase based on rank
honest anvil
when did bozja come to the game?
open ember
Last patch
open ember
Its fairly new but most people are max rank by now
honest anvil
@@
worthy basin
what would happen if my armor is at 100% spiritbonding?
worthy basin
so my materia wouldn't break if i try to extract some materia?
honest anvil
so i take it next bozja expansion will come with 5.45?
faint flare
Yes
worthy basin
oooooooooh
worthy basin
that is like BA but bozja
open ember
So it won't come out December 8 with the story stuff
worthy basin
nope
open ember
You have plenty of time to get to r10 but keep in mind if you intend to to DR on release you have to clear Castrum Lacus Litore
neat mauve
how do you put materia onto gear
open ember
And Castrum runs are really. Sparse rn
open ember
how do you put materia onto gear
Go to a materia melder or meld it yourself
I can't remember if you need that melder quest cleared or not
honest anvil
also, melding is not needed until endgame endgame fwiw
wispy parcel
Yea it makes zero difference while leveling

oh
my perception is too low to get the ore i need for this level 53 mining quest
so im not sure what to do
i just bought a few pieces off of the market board but my perception is still 100 too low
faint flare
Get better gear. HQ whenever possible
neat mauve
thats what im trying to do
i just bought a few pieces off the market board and im nowhere near close
neat mauve
i mean I can do that but there must also be the option to mine it myself right
and in that sense I imagine there is a logical path forward for the player to get the level of perception needed to do so
honest anvil
make sure you’re buying the right pieces
body, legs, main hand
the accessories dont give much
if at all
neat mauve
okay i bought a hammer and i should be good now
thank you for the help
How do I find HIDDEN items?

leaden ginkgo
Is DNC looked for, when it comes to the current raid tier/probably the next?
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
If you can push buttons and learn/do mechanics you're looked for
neat mauve
one of the best parts of this game imo
If I like something I dont have to google if it will actually be good 80 levels from now
outer plank
@leaden ginkgo every job is good, just depends what people are looking for in a static (generally 2 melees 2 ranged)
patent citrus
yeh and usually no duplicate jobs
neat mauve
you get a buff to the party for no duplicate jobs right
patent citrus
I think so yeah
faint flare
Not exactly
neat mauve
oh ok
patent citrus
ooo really?
faint flare
You get 1% stat buff per role in the party
faint flare
1% for having a tank, healer, melee, physical range and caster
neat mauve
so for min-maxing score pushers it matters i guess
faint flare
Having duplicate jobs reduces LB gain
neat mauve
ahhh
faint flare
Which can affect some strats
neat mauve
ahhh
faint flare
The "common" formation is 2 tanks and healers, 1 melee, 1 physical range and 1 caster, with 4 dps as whatever they want
Having 3 range is mega comfy

What the most efficient way to level from 47-50? Locked out of MSQ til hit 49

Dzaemal darkhold and Aurum vale
patent citrus
although you probably wouldn't unlock that many roulette around that level
worthy basin
What the most efficient way to level from 47-50? Locked out of MSQ til hit 49
frontline
frontline gives a good amount of exp
patent citrus
ah yeh around that level should give like 1-2 levels o_o
worthy basin
and it gives you wolf marks (for glams).
worn bone
Even if I'm booty cheeks at it?
worthy basin
yeah
worn bone
I've never tried it lol
worthy basin
you lose or you win it
we all gain exp
but of course winning the frontline gives a lot more exp

Can you transfer between any worlds / servers?
Ex. Can someone playing on Marboro transfer to Louisoux

Also, what classification is Marboro in terms of population

remote lintel
not really
faint flare
No
remote lintel
just takes time
toxic falcon
well see
faint flare
You just skill the adds that spawn
toxic falcon
ill use my dragoon since its lv 67
manic flare
which ARR ex trial u guys think is the hardest?
remote lintel
none really
fresh lodge
None lol
faint flare
At 67 you'll probably die
little swift
67 might be a tad low you might find it tougher
fresh lodge
They're braindead easy at 80
honest anvil
67 cant solo, can it?
little swift
Especially if you're lacking gear
manic flare
i think u need at least scaevan gear
faint flare
70 with 70 gear will be able to
manic flare
to solo ARR extreme?
little swift
70 is the bare minimum
toxic falcon
scaeven?
remote lintel
the lvl 70 poetics gear

toxic falcon
IN STORMBLOOD?

subtle hazel
random question: i've been leveling botanist and i've got quite a few collectables that are too low of collectability to turn in for xp/scrips, is there anything i can do with them or should i just discard them?
little swift
They don't do anything else you can toss em
subtle hazel
aight thanks
another question, for some reason the rowena's house of splendors menu isn't in my timer's menu and im not sure why because i have inscrutable tastes and go west, craftsman both completed. is there another step i have to do to get that menu in timers?
faint flare
They're not on timers anymore because the list doesn't change
So there's no reason for them to be there
little swift
Granted its not listed anywhere else for gatherers so having to check and memorise isn't fantastic
subtle hazel
ah, is it still available somewhere?
faint flare
At the collectible turn in people
faint flare
Write them down on a notepad or something
subtle hazel
might as well
little swift
You can see the crafter collectibles
In the crafting log
thats what I meant
Gatherers don't have that

Returning player, haven't played since the end of heavenward. Needs me a fun new class.

Thinking more new as in the last two expacs
Rsm dnc etc
Rdm^
I like pretty, flashy moves
subtle hazel
samurai is really fun :3
if you want melee
dancer would be fun and flashy for ranged
remote lintel
white mage for the flashbang
remote lintel
that too
worthy basin
If i extracted a materia from my pentamelded gear, would i lose any materia from that?
gleaming mist
no
extracting materia doesnt relate to the materia slotted into your gear
retrieving materia will remove the materia from your gear, with a chance to break depending on the materia's level
cold wadi
hey! I'm looking for a recommendation on which melee or magic ranged to try next...I'm a fan of ranged DPS but unfortunately hard to find a static that way. I like BRD's procs, and didn't think I'd like MCH, but I do like how MCH has to kind of time their burst windows.
I tend to like mobility as well. Anyone have a recommendation on a class that plays similar to BRD or MCH?
cold wadi
already have dnc - has to be melee or magic 😦
faint flare
Red mage
cold wadi
i was trying to unlock that but i dont meet the requirement for magic/war lv50
lolol XD
faint flare
But you already have that...?
cold wadi
idk o-o
open ember
Are you on free trial?
cold wadi
oh wait i do have rdm i think i did the quest back in 2017 and forgot about it
raven sage
If you have dancer why can't you get rdm?
open ember
Then they should have access to RDM
raven sage
Oh that would do it lol
cold wadi
yeah I do, sorry. turns out i did the quest way back on release and totally forgot
open ember
Ohhh
cold wadi
I was thinkinga bout NIN but I heard it is very clunky. and I like how MCH is pretty flowy
frank pike
I need some help. can anyone tell me what do I need to do to play TT against Midnight Dew ?
thought I just needed to do a quest Over My Dead Gobbie
which I completed but she still has no TT option when I talk to her but on minimap the TT Match icon is there
any ideas what I am missing?
frank pike
nope
faint flare
If you are on a quest from Midnight Dew, eg. the one that unlocks St. Mocianne's Arboretum (Hard), you will only get her quest speech and won't be able to play Triple Triad against her. Finish the quest and she'll be back to her card-playing self. From the comments
Try talking to her and see what she says or something
She also offers Gubal hard mode quest
raven sage
yeah the important part is that it could be any quest she's a part of
frank pike
raven sage
What quests do you currently have active?
frank pike
hmm I am relatively a fresh player of 2 months+ so a lot
sec
thats it
Not sure she is involved in any of them
frank pike
Well i pick some as I go and then complete later on
frank pike
ok thx lets try
raven sage
Ah yeah it's the saint mocienne's quest
frank pike
need to complete it or just drop for now?
raven sage
either or

lost grove
For msq wise is it best I go dps or heal to speed it up a bit
worthy basin
healer
lost grove
Lol
open coral
Healer will always be faster for instance queues than dps.
lost grove
Ik instance but besides them
open coral
But dps will kill things maybe a tiny bit faster when you're soloing.
We're talking like, 4 gcds instead of 5 though.
It's not a major difference, mostly.
lost grove
Besides whm is a bit over lvl for early HW msq

I dont understand either 😦
open coral
Yo i'm new in mmos
Cool! Did you have questions?
broken sparrow
What is dps?
open coral
DPS is short for "damage per second" and refers to any class whose job is primarily to deal damage.
As opposed to tanking (keeping the attention of enemies) or healing (self explanatory)
broken sparrow
Oh ok
timid geyser
basically 80% of the players
manic flare
@open coral do u use your alts as mules?
manic flare
whats the benefit of alts?
open coral
Different datacenters, different friend groups.
Used to be the only way to play through the MSQ again was to make an alt.
open coral
I have a different group of friends (different FCs) on each of the NA datacenters.
open ember
Its a lot of investment tho sooooo
open coral
While my EU and JP characters are solo.
I have one main, one sub-main, and the rest I log into whenever I feel like it.

Is there a way to see how many times you've cleared a specific dungeon?

How do you unlock Alexander Savage and duty roulette?
remote lintel
complete the normal tier of alexander
then you can unlock the savage for that tier
open ember
I think you go to the minstrel to unlock one of the tiers
The other ones are unlocked in Idyllshire
I think
Its been too long
Someone fact check that for me
ripe hound
5.4 will probably not include the last Nier 24 man right?
verbal rune
Yeah, I just completed all Alexander

What about raid roulettes? I unlock it at the same time of Alexander?

So no
Ah, after Alexander and alliance raids there is nothing else aside story in HW, right?

there's the warring triad trial fights but those come after the credits roll i think

there are a few dungeons
st. mocianne arboretum
fractal continuum
pharos sirius (hard)
there's a few more
one of the dungeons gives very nice glamours

What should i do with left over weapons/gear? Do i just sell it or is there any other use to them?

About the ARR hard dungeons? Do I go where they are to find the blue quests? Does the story send me in those locations?
manic flare
the pharos sirius hard one is in limsa lominsa
the hard version of sohm al is in idylshire
the hard version of lost city of amdapor is in gridania?
not sur about hullbreaker isle, but i would think it's in limsa lominsa
verbal rune
the hard version of lost city of amdapor is in gridania?
Also this one was already in ARR
manic flare
the hard version?

Same with the isle

the normal version was

hey guys, so i was doing steps for my ARR relic. it then got into the step where basically i need to do some levequest. now im a paladin with level 77, while these levequests are around level 50. when i do these levequests , it says that my level is too high and that if i continue i will get an exp penalty. thoughts on this?
manic flare
If it bothers you, u can use another class
twilit arch
combat leves don't exist for a reason after lvl 60, they have always been trash for combat jobs
manic flare
Use your secondary class for the leves

Does it seems like 5.4 will add more areas like Bozjan?
Or probably not? Just the new 48 man and quests?
In the Save the Queen questline

New Bozja area is coming in 5.5, Delubrum is the only bozja content coming in 5.4

hey guys, so i was doing steps for my ARR relic. it then got into the step where...
Btw you’re not actually getting your exp deducted. You’re just being given much less than you normally would.

how to get khloe gold recomendation ? is it from 3 lines ?

wintry chasm
Er
twilit arch
what level are you?
mossy trellis
67 still at start of stromblood
wintry chasm
You're also not level 80 so you don't have access to the third column of selectable rewards
twilit arch
that'd be why, third line appears when you're 80
mossy trellis
i see, thx for the answer
spare plinth
How do you unlock the level 80 job quest
twilit arch
complete shadowbringers, and your lvl 80 role quest
spare plinth
Is there like a pop up like it would with other jobs?
open ember
Go to the Pendants in the Crystarium to find the role quest givers
MSQ should've showed you where/what they are
Then the lv80 quests would be unlockable
But they only grant a title

wheat plume
Can I dye gear I have in glamour plate when it's already on me, or can I only do it with original gear before putting it into dresser?
wheat plume
so for using it more times, I need to dye the original gear, right?
faint flare
You need to dye the glamour plate itself or the original item
wheat plume
Why cant I choose a color in Item Dyeing? all colors have X
gritty oracle
Do you have the dyes in your inventory? Choco saddlebag doesn't count
wheat plume
ah, I tough one color could be used for all varieties of that color
where can I buy more dyes?
I suposse marketboard, but any other place?
gritty oracle
Dyemongers in main cities, I think material suppliers in your home, some are craftable
You have to look up the specific dye to see where it's from
gritty oracle
Because it's retainer/cash shop only
Retainer is extremely RNG
And cash shop costs actual money
twilit arch
can't sell cash shop version tho
open ember
Is Ishgard
twilit arch
also brass is yeah
twilit arch
still though
its a supply + demand
people used restoration to level doesn't mean they used their scrips to buy the dyes

Ishgard dyes
These are fairly expensive
Pearl White out here still going for like 100k+ per single pot
