boreal storm
#

It’s just like how Shiva, Leviathan and Ramuh weren’t available until after beating ||ultima weapon||

#

Gotta progress the plot

warped nest
#

Even then you cannot get all three of them right away

#

You need to do more story and you will unlock 4 more Heavensward trial in this order: Sephirot, Nidhogg, Sophia, Zurvan

twilit arch
#

the only warring triad quest that has msq requirements is the one i said

warped nest
#

Nidhogg is part of the msq, while the other three are from warring triad quest line

tired rover
#

so i didnt finish heavens then?

warped nest
#

Oh??

#

My bad then

twilit arch
#

you finished base heavensward

tired rover
#

ok

remote lintel
#

every expac has post quests

#

you need to get far enough in the post quests after HW

warped nest
#

You finished 3.0, base/vanilla Heavensward

tired rover
#

So i need more msq to do the rest then

warped nest
#

Now you need to go through 3.1-3.55, the epilogue of Heavensward

tired rover
#

This whole time i thought i beat heavens

warped nest
#

You did

#

But there are more

twilit arch
#

its just like how after you beat ARR, by completing the praetorium

#

you had 80 quests to go thru before you entered heavensward

warped nest
#

80 quests at Level 50

twilit arch
#

you have 44 quests to do before you get to stormblood

#

you need to do the first set of patch quests

tired rover
#

So i need more msq theb

warped nest
#

These quests are the epilogue for the current expansion and the prologue for the next.

#

Yes

tired rover
#

cuz i am only on another time another place

warped nest
#

Yup, still a bit of quest to go

twilit arch
#

you have 5 quests to go

#

to get to "So Goes Light, So Goes Darkness"

tired rover
#

ok

#

Then these npcs will show the rest of these extremes

warped nest
#

Once you cleared the normal mode, yes

tired rover
#

lol wow

warped nest
#

They will let you get EX

tired rover
#

I feel so dumb now

#

All this googling and its cuz i didnt do msq

warped nest
#

The game doesn't explain this explicitly, don't feel bad about it

tired rover
#

I thought i just had to beat heavens the way i did to do all the bird quests

warped nest
#

EX were not all released in one go

#

They came with a new major patch every 3-4 months

tired rover
#

So I just to do 5 more msq then I will be able to fnish this darn firebird mount thing?

warped nest
#

No

boreal storm
#

No, still gotta fight angry dragon

#

His msq fight is later

warped nest
#

You still have Nidhogg a few msq down the line

#

Warring triad has 3 trials, so 3 birds

#

Nidhogg has 1 bird

#

This will get you the 7 needed to see the Firebird NPC in Idyllshire

tired rover
#

So I just need to keep doing the MSQ, to unlock the rest for firebird mount

warped nest
#

Yeah, good luck and have fun

tired rover
#

ty

agile night
#

when trying things on, is there a way to try on multiple things?

remote lintel
#

click the save outfit icon on the bottom

agile night
#

oh perfect

#

I should have asked sooner, been trying on things one at a time all this time

fossil cypress
#

Is the puppet's bunker coin unlimited now? Or still one per week?

pallid gorge
#

No limit

fossil cypress
#

Thank you!

nova umbra
#

uh, whm question. If a whm pops temperance outside of someone's range, and then walks in, do they get the defense buff?

pallid gorge
#

Yes, but it updates on server tick so it's not instant as if they were already in range

gusty comet
#

Does the 24 hour timer trigger when you disband a free company?

#

Or is it just when you leave a free company

#

nevermind, it does trigger

frigid adder
#

if I have questions about the new treasure dungeon, would it be permissable to ask them here or would that be considered a spoiler?

twilit arch
#

fine to ask here

#

afaik there's nothing really spoilery about the new treasure dungeon

patent citrus
#

yeah, seems just enter and kill

frigid adder
#

Does anyone know what the "Shifting Circles" event does (when roulette hits golden exclamation mark) beyond summoning the gold frog?

twilit arch
#

hmm, assuming it works like uznair it shifts the arcane circles

vestal needle
#

how much tomes do i need to get a mowen tokken?

patent citrus
#

best class for potd? machinist?

twilit arch
#

rdm and mch are the top two

patent citrus
#

hmm rdm

twilit arch
#

rdm is safer/if you're not good at kiting

#

mch if you know how to kite well

patent citrus
#

rdm it is!

#

i like the pirate aesthetic too

#

just max'd all my tank and healer today

#

so choosing dps class to level

twilit arch
#

assuming you want allegory/revelation, its 100 allegory/revelation for 1 token @vestal needle

#

so 1k total for the weapon

delicate ivy
#

Is there somewhere I can check the date for ffxiv? I wanna get an extra day out of my subscription/not lose a day by subbing around reset

obsidian patio
#

Subscription doesn’t revolve around daily reset

#

It’s on its own timer so you can’t get an extra day out of it

delicate ivy
#

If I sub at 16:00 hours it will end at 16:00 hours?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

lone spruce
delicate ivy
#

This is an old reply but it works the way I thought I experienced it in the past

"I actually asked the question recently when I was trying to add a game time card to my account. If you're asking the exact time that your last day will end before you need to resub, it's 12am (midnight) PST. It's not based on your own timezone unfortunately because I'm in Central time and had two wait until 2am my time for the day to tick over."

obsidian patio
#

@lone spruce tradeable on the marketboard. It comes from desynthing very specific fishes

#

No wait I might be thinking of other ones

twilit arch
#

no, you're right

#

its the sea breeze set, its from desynthing gigantshark/octomammoth

obsidian patio
#

Octomammoth too

twilit arch
#

top is shark, bottom i s octo

limber walrus
#

Do you guys know if King's Yield works on collectables?

warped nest
#

No

fierce cobalt
#

If one has full 510 gear, whats the most bang for buck tomestone progression? Chest first? accessories last?

muted sierra
#

Depends on what job it's for

warped nest
#

The collect action on collectible is not your usual gather action

fierce cobalt
#

paladin then?

fresh lodge
#

Chest or legs have the most stats

fierce cobalt
#

yes but they also cost the most right?

warped nest
#

Yup

#

Aside from weapons

#

I dunno if shield is worth getting though

#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

If you want to go for BiS, this discord is currently working on one

fierce cobalt
#

wouldnt that just be 530 gear? skipping over 520 possibilities entirely?

little swift
#

the thing is, tome gear is augmented to 530

fierce cobalt
#

Ill try askt here and see if someone is more specific then

little swift
#

so it doesn't skip it, since you'll need it to get the tome pieces

warped nest
#

BiS for any job is a mix of Savage Eden Promise raid gear and Augmented Revelation tomestone gear

little swift
#

the shield/sword (tome) can't be obtained for another 6 weeks anyways

#

if you don't clear savage

#

and even if you do

#

you can't get it until next week earliest

fierce cobalt
#

does it take long for them to figure it out?

little swift
#

week3 sorry

#

you'll be 50 revelation short

twilit arch
#

well shield is straight buy

warped nest
#

How long will The Balance take to produce a BiS list

#

I believe that's what Incarnater asked

twilit arch
#

🤷‍♀️ when the math nerds are done mathing things out

fierce cobalt
#

One of my many questions yes haha

#

I cant imagine it taking say, more than a month yeah?

warped nest
#

Nah

twilit arch
#

no

#

it'll probably be a few more days if that

warped nest
fierce cobalt
#

Im still learning all this raid tier stuff, so umm

Whats the item needed to trade in 530 edens gear?

#

Is it the book of Litany or a different item?

little swift
#

depends on the piece of gear

twilit arch
#

!faq savageloot

zinc orbitBOT
#
What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

twilit arch
#

generally the floor it drops from is gonna be the floor book that you can buy it with

fierce cobalt
#

Whats Solvent and Glaze?

#

and Twine

remote lintel
#

augmenting items

twilit arch
#

solvent = weapon

#

glaze = accessory/belt augment

#

twine = armour augment

#

though its called dusting for the accessory/belt this tier

#

and ester for weapon

fierce cobalt
#

ah ok

#

so for Savage, its still one drop per boss per week right?

little swift
#

you're guaranteed the book every week

#

the number of chests that spawn is based on the number of people in your party that haven't cleared this week

#

up to 2 chests

#

with teh above faq listed items

#

if you're lucky in pf you can earn it all

fierce cobalt
#

oh so you could potentially "steal" our ppls chances? interesting system

little swift
#

its not stealing in pf

fierce cobalt
#

So a player could clear for one week but miss all chest rewards right? and then they dont qualify as a new clearer?

warped nest
#

It is blind luck, essentially

mint adder
#

Help me find this boss. It was female, i think mostly white, I think she was stationary, there were two rows of pillars in front of her, either 2 or 3 pillars in each row. Definitely in ARR.

#

I just want to find it because i remembered the epic music

fierce cobalt
#

Do you remember 4 people or 8 or more fighting it? any mechanics like hiding behind the pillars?

twilit arch
#

sounds like garuda

mint adder
#

It's been awhile... I knoww it wasnt 8

#

i think i know it wasnt 8. ill check garuda

warped nest
#

What kind of pillars?

twilit arch
#

garuda's like the only female, mostly white character with pillars in the fight that i can think of

mint adder
#

Yes thats it!

#

Thanks so much, been bugging me lTELY

#

lately

ripe hound
#

Does it still mean that I will get a parse percentile later

gilded forge
#

I'm confused about unlocking yellow scrips. The wiki says you need to do both "Inscrutible tastes" and "Go west" but I'm able to get them without having done the later, and my partner isn't able to get any yellows at all.

twilit arch
#

You just need to do inscrutable tastes to unlock collectable system

#

go west, craftsman is to unlock the idyllshire house of splendors

worthy basin
#

is it true that sharing gear of rdm/smn and blm not advisable at all?

warped nest
#

For leveling, just share

#

For endgame optimization, no, they probably don't want to

twilit arch
#

for BiS, there usually is a universal set

#

that the three can share if you intend to play them all, or rdm/smn +blm

warped nest
#

Interesting, I thought only healer and tank can go for universal set

twilit arch
#

but generally, yes the BiS for blm usually clashes a bit

patent citrus
#

oo I thought war has different stats priority

#

tank wise

warped nest
#

They have slightly variations in stat priority

gilded forge
twilit arch
#

any chance she can send a screenshot of the house of splendors appraiser window

agile night
#

sometimes these look pretty out of place. Suppose there's probably no way to improve that?

remote lintel
#

no its part of the top

jovial tide
#

What counts a strike during the trial phase of bardam?

#

Getting hit by anything?

twilit arch
#

yes

jovial tide
#

Also, is item level sync'd gear absolute in terms of stats to one another, or does it just affect relative stat scaling on gear so i.e. sync'd ilvl 450 -> 280 is (however slightly) stronger than true ilvl 280 gear?

solemn karma
#

Hi, im Ink and im new to the game
just looking for some advise or maybe people looking to teach and play the game with

hasty musk
#

@solemn karma looking for the new player faq guide atm, but did you have any specific questions in the meantime

#

!faq newplayertips

zinc orbitBOT
solemn karma
#

Um cant say I do

#

Im just trying to get into the game and was seeing if there were people new or willing to help

hasty musk
#

well this channel's mostly for asking specific questions about how the game works or what you're supposed to be doing and things like that

solemn karma
#

Ok

hasty musk
#

if you're looking for people to play with, generally your best bet is to join a friendly FC

solemn karma
#

FC?

hasty musk
#

Free Company, the guilds of this game

solemn karma
#

Ok

#

I got you

#

Well ill stop posting in this chat unless I have questions 👍

agile night
#

can I get a quick rundown on collectable crafting? Is there something I need to do to make something as a collectable, or is it specific items

obsidian patio
#

@jovial tide technically yes, lemme use another faq as reference

#

!faq ultimate sync

zinc orbitBOT
#
FAQ Listing

ultimatesync

obsidian patio
#

!faq ultimatesync

zinc orbitBOT
#
Syncing Gear for Ultimates

Many pieces of gear are BiS when synced down. The 'low' stat on the higher ilvl gear will reach the stat cap on the lower ilvl gear. This outweighs the melds you lose in some cases, and in others it is few points of stats behind.

UCoB: ilvl 418 and above will have both stats capped
UWU: ilvl 470 and above will have both stats capped
TEA: no available ilvl cap yet, syncing gear will not cap all substats and will ignore melding slots.

See the calculator below (WIP)
https://bit.ly/XIVGearSyncCalc

obsidian patio
#

Ultimate Coil syncs at i345

#

Having gear above i418 maxes out both secondary stats when synced down

little swift
#

Just use the materials listed and craft it like you would any other hq item

#

The higher the quality the better its collectability

agile night
#

ah, okay

honest anvil
#

Does synced stats make bahamut and ultima weap ultimates any easier? like bypass any dps check? or is that not how ultimate works?

obsidian patio
#

It makes it so you don’t need gear right at the sync to take advantage of melds

little swift
#

With the way stats scaling has changed through expansions it can be a tad more lenient to sync down

#

Not mechanics wise but the checks as I have been told feel smoother

obsidian patio
#

You still hold DPS for cleaner phase pushes in some cases anyways

honest anvil
#

can you guys recommend a guide for Alex ultimate?

hardy gull
#

This ones alright , p gud

#

Theres also this if u want a text/visual based one

honest anvil
#

tks fren

leaden ginkgo
#

can i use the "Recruitment Light" Channel to search for a guild or only as a guild to search for member?

little swift
#

It can be for both

#

On top of looking for raid group or raid group.members

#

Or just people to play with

#

Though you might see less luck with the last one

leaden ginkgo
#

okey, thank you very much

tidal yarrow
#

can anyone help me with tiles in e9s

#

there is so much happening all at once

green grail
#
  1. heal/ranged start on cardinals, tanks/melee on intercardinals, stay for heals
  2. when clouds appear the cardinals move out and melee rotate (probably clockwise)
  3. dps the cloud, when the debuff on you expires you have to look away from people to shoot your laser cone into empty spaces
  4. after the cones melee go back to their inter-cardinals, ranged go inside for the donut aoe
  5. everyone waits inside until she shows which side she'll cleave
  6. north+south ranged go outside, safe-side (east or west) ranged goes outside, everyone else shuffle to the safe side
  7. after the cleaves everyone goes back to their starting positions on the inside
  8. stacks/protean
  9. ranged go out so melee can refresh
#

and u win

#

Hi, where to get Riding Maps?

robust crow
#

alright so like

#

is intentionally trying to kill people in raids reportable behavior

#

some tank in e9n purposefully tried to bring all the 1 shot lasers into the group

#

and followed the healers around to intentionally kill them

frank wigeon
#

hey! is Rarefied Lignum Vitae Grinding Wheel  still the best to craft for scrip farm?
silver scrips

oblique yew
#

When do I unlock dancer?

limber walrus
#

@oblique yew level 60 in kinda lominsa

#

Limsa

little swift
#

@robust crow yes its reportable if there is verifiable evidence

#

@frank wigeon depends on your server

robust crow
#

i was not recording

#

well

#

he did troll in chat

little swift
#

Its probably in the battle logs if he managed to kill people

frank wigeon
#

i understand thank you channey

robust crow
#

dude would bring the laser tankbuster to me twice purposefully

#

lmao

#

like he would follow me in the direction i ran

limber walrus
#

Also, I had a question:
How do I get blue crabs? I went to the spot in western kholusia like the wiki says, with ilv 403 and 15 of the correct bait (Squid Strips) and got 15 HQ of OTHER fish ...not even 1 blue crab

potent lava
#

can someone explain the whole bonus quests from the hw beast tribe quests
I thought it meant you got another set after finishing one set

little swift
#

Can always report and include how they were being in chat logs

#

Was that a rank 8 rank up?

#

7 to8 doesn't give bonus for the day

#

You just get bonus exp from it now

#

@limber walrus do you have the legendary tome

limber walrus
#

Legendary tome?

little swift
#

You need the tome of icythologixal folklore bought with yellow scrips

limber walrus
#

Oh.....omg

delicate ivy
#

Are there restrictions on leaving/joining a fc?

limber walrus
#

I could have not wasted 75 white SCRIPS on bait 😩

#

Thanks for letting me know @little swift

#

I will get that tmr morning

little swift
#

For legendary gathered items you need the corresponding books @limber walrus this applies to all expansions besides arr

limber walrus
#

Can I get it from the same box in eulmore?

little swift
#

Costs about 4k yellow scrips

limber walrus
#

Npc not box

little swift
#

Same vendor yes

potent lava
#

oh i see its a one time thing each time you rank up
darn, squandered those too

obsidian patio
limber walrus
#

Wait 4k? But how

#

The cap is 2k isn't it

little swift
#

You buy the tokens needed to exchange it

#

And you need a lot of the tokens

granite spruce
#

As a fresh lvl 80 and have done msq to a point where I need to upgrade my gear, what should be my first point of interest without spending gil?

limber walrus
#

I see

#

Thank you 😌

#

do the level 80 content you have access to, get tomes of allegory for completing it, buy 490 gear with it in eulmore

granite spruce
#

kk thanks

gleaming sparrow
#

is there an automated/easy way to deposit items from inv to a retainer that already has them so that they stack?

honest anvil
#

probably just sort then manually stack

gleaming sparrow
#

right now i have to right click -> search for item on each item to see which retainer has what so that i can stack them manually

#

oh well

@ancient solar don't do it first

Yeah, that's last week

How to get ot Gold Saucer? Is there some Aether connection, flight or somthing?

In UlDah I think there was a dude with a quest, he was human or cat-race with a small boy holding some gifboxes on the street

hasty musk
#

Yeah, that was the unlock quest

#

Go to the airship landing and talk to the npc behind the desk, and you should get an option to fly to Gridania, Limsa, or the Gold Saucer

#

You can also get there from Gridania or Limsa

ok, got it, thanks a lot

#

are there more benefits to eating food before a dungeon/trial start aside from the stats listed?

okay I've spent way too much time now trying to make a pair of pants. Right now this journey has me trying to find an Ephemeral node, I've gone to 3 locations at the correct times and haven't found any, not sure what to do now.

proud willow
#

What's the item you need?

#

It might require a gathering book

agile night
#

I'm trying to make thavnairian sarouels. I already had to go and get the weaver book, next was trying to get dawnborne aethersand. did a quest then went searching for things that turn into it, but can't find anything

proud willow
#

none of the Aethersand items seem to require a tome

#

Which site are you using for timers?

agile night
#

gamerescape

#

Oh. I also need to do a treasure map. I really didn't realize how annoying these pants would be when I started this

slate arrow
#

Should use something like Teamcraft for timers. Everything is Eorzean time unless specified otherwise

robust sail
#

So how do I get bitter memories of dying?

#

I already have Augmented Honourbound and Tenacity

proud willow
#

The locations that I'm seeing on Gamerescape for the first node I looked at are different than on Garlandtools

#

Garlandtools is the site I'd trust

faint flare
#

Heavensward dungeon or bojza mobs

obsidian patio
#

Bitters come from leveling roulette, level 60 dungeons synced, and Bozja in all 3 areas at a lower rate than other memories

robust sail
#

Oh

agile night
#

well that does seem more useful. though it recommends I go right back to where I tried to find bright lightning rocks and furymint before, at the same times.

robust sail
#

So I can't just spam one dungeon unsynced?

faint flare
#

Synced

robust sail
#

Damn

faint flare
#

Small brains spam anti tower

robust sail
#

So big brains spam what? Dusk Vigil?

faint flare
#

Bojza

#

With a group

#

And mass pulling

#

Everyone spread out

#

Yeah its a "low rate" but youre rolling that ratw multiple times in quick succession

#

And you get all 4 memory types

#

Mass pulling mobs solo/low man is easy

robust sail
#

Nvm

#

I just bought a ring and I can do Eden and weapon

potent lava
#

curious question
Is there a reason why there seems to be a larger number of people crafting near skysteel manufactory than anywhere else in ishgard (aside from crozier)
is it just theming?

proud willow
#

That's where the turn-in is for Skysung tools

potent lava
#

ah I see, thanks

worthy basin
#

is the 520 tome armor better than a 510 pentamelded armor?

faint flare
#

Generally yes unless there's "dead" stats on the tome gear

My wife and I have a set of Alts to do the story together and I’m running blm on it, but once we’re done I’m going back to my main

Skipping means you miss out gradually learning the job over the levels

leaden ginkgo
#

But if I already know the job it’s okay?

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Awesome

faint flare
#

Skips are primarily meant for alts

leaden ginkgo
#

Thought so but wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing damage to the alt

#

Tho doesn’t ng+ lemme redo the story too?

steep heron
#

It should. And if you just want cutscenes then the Inn book is there

#

approved grade 3 skybuilders' tea leaves. last week they were cheap and easy to buy. not so much anymore

#

i know i can do diadem to get them, just wondering if someething happened to where they are more needed

proud willow
#

Nothing specific

#

Supply might have been at a relative high point before due to someone overfarming them

mighty orbit
#

thanks 🙂 it was bothering me. thought there was new crafting that really needed it

proud willow
#

Since nearly as many people are doing Restoration, a handful of very active gatherers or crafters can have a big effect on availability

#

just from trying to level up

mighty orbit
#

yeah. trying to get my77cul to 80

#

just need tea leaves, lol

leaden ginkgo
#

Can you trade across worlds?

#

Once I level my gatherer I’m sure I’ll have lots to share AGCattoUwu

def. do Diadem to level up fast

guys i cant find the new role quest from cyella "Safekeeping"

oblique yew
#

how does dancer work? i am coming from samurai and this one deals so little damage

warped nest
#

Are you properly geared?

#

And which skills were you comparing

#

And what makes you said "so little damage"

oblique yew
#

for now, no
i spent all the poetics on samurai because i ddidnt think i would switch to dancer
are most of the skills rng?

warped nest
#

Yes, but you are in control

#

It doesn't just happen on its own, like Bard

#

Dancer skill RNG happens when you use certain skills

#

For example

#

!action Feather Dance III

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

warped nest
#

Oops

faint flare
#

Fan dance

warped nest
#

!action fan dance III

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Fan Dance III** : lvl 66 DNC (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 200 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
Can only be executed while under the effect of Flourishing Fan Dance.

warped nest
#

!action Fan dance II

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Fan Dance II** : lvl 50 DNC (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 100 to all nearby enemies.
Additional Effect: 50% chance of granting Flourishing Fan Dance
Duration: 20s
Can only be executed while in possession of Fourfold Feathers.

warped nest
#

Using Fan Dance II has 50% chance to allow you to use III

#

You don't need to do it right away either, as the opportunity last 20s

steep heron
#

Dnc is a support while Sam is greedy

warped nest
#

For more detailed breakdown, I suggest watching this video

#

But the basis of DNC is to anticipate and use your RNG procs

oblique yew
#

ok, this is what i kinda understand
i first use closed position
then standard step and the 2 sequences and then use the double standard finish
and then in battle i use cascade->fountain
rev cascade->fountianfall if it's available
and then use windmill-> bladeshower for aoe and it's proced version
and when the 4 fan-like guage thing is filled i should use fan dance 2?

inner heath
#

guys i cant find the new role quest from cyella "Safekeeping" I'm at cyella location as lvl 80 drk

warped nest
#

Fan Dance 1 is single target
Fan Dance 2 is AOE
3 can be proc from 1 or 2, and 3 is good for both single target and AOE

oblique yew
#

i am still at lvl 60, so i dont have most of the above abilities

warped nest
#

Watch the video I linked

oblique yew
#

ok

warped nest
#

It does a very good job breaking it down

#

But glancing at what you understand, I'd say You got most of them right

steep heron
warped nest
#

@oblique yew I want to mention that Dancer combo is free form. For example, Cascade combo into Fountain right?

#

But using Cascade gives you a chance to use Reverse Cascade, and using Fountain gives you a chance to use Fountain Fall

#

So, you can do things like

  • Cascade (proc Rev Cascade)
  • Fountain (no proc)
  • Rev Cascade
  • Cascade (...)
    Et cetera
dark dagger
#

from now every time i dont accept the duty i will have a ban? or after a while my penality will be resetted?

warped nest
#

If you keep on abandoning, it will add 30 mins to it, I believe that once you queue in and complete a duty, it reset

oblique yew
#

hmm. thanks.
this rng thing is new territory for me. will need some getting used to.

warped nest
#

It is very fun, imo

#

Have fun with your practice session

#

guys i cant find the new role quest from cyella "Safekeeping" where and how can i get it?

#

Should i bother with beast tribes quests right away? Or keep them for later? If it matters i just finished ARR 2.0 questline, and basically try to do all blue quests i've missed so far and i've unlocked beast tribes, thats why im asking~

faint flare
#

Players must first complete the main scenario quest "Reflections in Crystal," and the role quest "Shadow Walk with Me

honest anvil
#

I’d say wait til after finishing base arr to do beast tribes

#

because you’ll get sth by then that’ll make doing those quests much faster

cold steppe
#

ic mooglethink

honest anvil
#

which is ||flying||

agile night
#

yeah, couple extra levels so everything doesn't agro on you as you try to do them is also handy

sullen lark
#

Wait, are the new Edens book-capped per week?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Current raid tiers are always weeklu locked

#

In all forms

timid geyser
#

New raid stuff is always capped

sullen lark
#

I see

cold steppe
#

as i said, i finished base ARR 2.0 which means i do have the thing you said, lvl 55ish on main combat class currently.

faint flare
#

Its only until later is it unlocked

sullen lark
#

thought it was just the coffers that were locked

timid geyser
inner heath
timid geyser
#

I use them to level crafters from 1 to 20

agile night
#

then yeah, no reason not to. should be able to do them quickly

inner heath
#

i dont have any role quest available

sullen lark
#

So is it just one coffer per week entirely, or per Eden each week?

faint flare
#

One ATTEMPT in savage

honest anvil
#

then start doing beast tribes ye; those take over a month to finish so do them daily too

timid geyser
#

Which means that I have like 1000 rep with the Ixali and 0 with the other tribes lol

faint flare
#

You can get as many gear coffers as you want on your weekly clear in savage

#

But you get 1 attempt

#

If you get nothing then tough luck

#

You're locked out

sullen lark
#

Wow..

#

That actually sucks ass

faint flare
#

On the flip side you can win everything and be hated by your party

timid geyser
#

lol

hard helm
faint flare
#

Should be 70 sam iirc.

#

Going from class to job doesn't reset levels

hard helm
#

I see, thanks !

cold steppe
#

one more question about beast tribes, since i started the best tribe first that gives you exp for ur crafting professions, is there any crafting profession that'd be best to prioritize for lvling there first? Or just go in whatever order i'd want to?

faint flare
#

Any order

#

Order doesn't matter anymore since cross class for them is dead

cold steppe
#

cross class?

proud willow
#

There used to be skills that you would unlock by leveling one crafter, and then you could use it on all your other crafters

#

Those don't exist anymore

agile night
#

game lets me use mining skills on botany for some reason

cold steppe
#

ah ic

agile night
#

I haven't found a use for it, but was it like that?

faint flare
#

Gatherers still have cross class, not that it matters

#

And yes

cold steppe
#

just wondered if any of DoH classes is simply more beneficial in long run to lvl first basically

faint flare
#

If anything it letd you see the other gatherer's nodes when on the other job

#

Incase there's a unspoiled or something up

verbal rune
#

Out of curiosity

#

Once the restoration of Isghard ends

#

We'll get a new Housing district there?

faint flare
#

Its not confirmed

#

And if it does come, it would be 6.0 at the minimum

cold steppe
#

also i can see you have limited amout of beast tribe quests for every tribe each day ON TOP of the daily limit of quests total you can do/

marsh rain
#

Hey. So my pc is buggered so I've moved to playing on the ps4. I could move accounts because there is already one tied to my ps4. So Just to boost a bit I wanted to use the story skip potion thing but it won't let as it says I'm not subscribed which I am. Has anyone came across this before? I subbed yesterday, do you think I might just have a wait or something?

agile night
#

I've been leveling DoH fairly evenly for the most part. Cul has gotten ahead because reasons, but otherwise seems handy to level them together somewhat as they start to gain more dependence on items from the others

cold steppe
#

oh and prolly most stupid question from me, is there any way to see where exactly can i take beast tribe quests? (the ones i unlocked), like i remmeber location of'em somewhat but i wonder if there's a way to actually see where you have to go in-game in case u forget.

agile night
#

click the quest text, it'll show on the map, usually a red circle

cold steppe
#

nono, not the quests you've taken, like in case i'd like to do some bests quests tommorrow, but i'd forget where the tribe was on the map

agile night
#

oooh

#

I just remember I guess

#

or look it up if I have to

cold steppe
#

so there's no in-game thing, fair nuff

#

just mkaing sure i wont go out of my way and do things longer way if there was an option lol

#

thank you!

verbal rune
#

So about the whole isghard restoration affair

#

Is there a way to check how much of it is done?

faint flare
#

Skybuilder board

#

And on the side at the duty list

verbal rune
#

So featherall is just the beginning, right?

faint flare
#

Its the end of stage 3

#

Most are finished at this point

or does it still need more extensive testing before people can judge

What are the top 5 DPS classes?

Hmm.. that's a hard question, but Samurai is definitely still at the top

better question, how do you personally think you can achieve the title of best top dps?

It will vary on fight

How or where do I go to participate in the jumbo cactpot and where do I go for seasonal events?

hot veldt
#

has anyone here changed their real name on their square enix account? i need a name change due to marriage and they need documentation of name change, i'm not sure what to provide for it.

leaden ginkgo
#

Your legal name change form.

#

@hot veldt the court document

hot veldt
#

i have a marriage license but i don't have any court document

leaden ginkgo
#

Marriage license isn’t a legal name change

#

Pretty sure you’d need to go to your local probate court and file that seperatly

#

I know I had to

hot veldt
#

hmm okay, it's been a few years since i got married so my memory is fuzzy but i just remember going to the social security admin and getting a new SSN card issued

leaden ginkgo
#

If the name change was filed automatically, you’ll need to request the form

hot veldt
#

ahh okay.

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean you don’t get a new SSID for being married usually

#

Since that’s often maiden namey

hot veldt
#

sorry for being a bother, do you mean i don't need to bother with changing with SE?

leaden ginkgo
#

I’d contact your local probate court and speak to a clerk or someone with legal experience in your jurisdiction. And no I don’t, I mean if you legally changed your name you’re legally compelled to update legal documents

hot veldt
#

okay. in my state it is all done through the SSA. so i suppose i need to request documentation of the change. thanks.

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah I’d contact them however not all states require you to file@when you marry

#

So your SSA would be the best starting point, should be a local satellite within 50 miles I’d wager

alrighty, thanks again

so if the potd que takes around 93 minutes, my other option is to que for dungeons i guess?

Well as a nee player as well @dull kayak game is amazing and people are nice. Dungeons early levels are popping and the game is fun.

As in EU I do not know servers but I did a google search and found which servers : bundle of servers to play on

@dull kayak both of EU's data centers are fine unless youre looking for a specific language

#

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)

in that order?

remote lintel

not necessarily

kindred minnow
#

ok ty tho :))

twilit arch
#

collectables as well

#

gc turn ins and beast tribes are daily, and usually done within like 10-20minutes so honestly would recommend doing them every day

#

leves/collectables are gonna be better than restoration but restoration lets you be lazy/if you're leveling crafters via it anyway you can stock up on mats

Weird question.... My game crashes instantly when I hover Levin Mint with my mouse. Doesn't crash on other items, though I haven't tried other collectables. Has someone else mentionned something like that? lol

(Hover in my inventory, not in the gathering window)

someone has mentioned something similar

but rather inside a particular instance

#

i expect both are probably some sort of corrupted file situation

it's such a specific bug that I'm more weirded out than anything, lol

Ok, it might be an issue related to a XIVLauncher plugin. I launched the game without it and it doesn't crash anymore

Every job comp can do every content

steep heron
#

twilit arch
#

you need to complete the quests "A pup no longer" and "like civilized men and women", both of which are at your grand company HQ

steep heron
#

based mentors

reef knot
#

oo okay ty

copper fiber
#

@steep heron i only asked because i liked blue mage only to realize its very limited

#

and wanted to compare but since everyone is equal kinda makes it harder to decide who to start with first

faint flare
#

Blue mage is side content

copper fiber
#

yea realized its a preview class

sly willow
#

can someone help me how i can explain a friend that it's important to use all skills in a rotation and not only the skills with high potency bc ''it does around 10% less dmg when i use it than this super high potency skill so i don't use it''

Rolling your gcd matters more than just using big hits

#

You do more damage over the duration of an encounter this way

copper fiber
#

@steep heron also mainly wanted a class for raids

steep heron
copper fiber
#

i like mass huntings

#

ok

had a friend kept telling me dont go red mage go dragoon with no reason why

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

faint flare
#

That's just bias

little swift
#

Your friend is biased

#

It doesn't matter besides filing a comp

copper fiber
#

ok ty

steep heron
little swift
#

1 tank 1 healer 2 dps in light parties is all that matters

#

On some jobs he can't even prime big hits without using his gcds properly

remote lintel
#

^

steep heron
remote lintel
#

usually the "big pot" hits are from combos

#

so he would have to do the smaller pot hits first

sly willow
#

@steep heron I basically did that this afternoon after finally reaching 80. he has ilvl 496 and does 6.5 to 8.8k dps while i sit at 15.2.... it's frustating when i link him rotations and he's '' oh but this skill does more dmg''

faint flare
#

Each skill has a reason to be used

remote lintel
#

what job is he playing

sly willow
#

dragoon

faint flare
#

So he's spamming full thrust then

remote lintel
#

!faq drgguide

zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
#

link him the full guide and the balance

faint flare
#

Tell him how to calculate dot damage

remote lintel
#

and it will explain exactly what he should be doing and why

faint flare
#

Chaos thrust does more damage than full thrust

remote lintel
#

balance has a fuckin 23 page guide on exactly what to do

little swift
#

90%of bad damage is literally being afk

steep heron
#

If he cant tell that doing a third of your damage is a bad thing idk what to tell him

patent citrus
#

maybe he wants to raid with you and want to play redmage himself :p

#

you playing redmage means duplicate jobs

#

and ask you to tether him damage? 😂

lavish vortex
#

Hi! How do I gather water clusters?

leaden ginkgo
#

So any of the armor gotten through leveling un replaceable? As far as glam?

faint flare
#

You can get everything back

leaden ginkgo
#

Realized my armory was insanely full and no idea why I held onto any of it lol, 😮 how if I need it?

steep heron
leaden ginkgo
#

Just worried I sold some irreplaceable something or other

faint flare
#

Story just gives you crafted/vendor gear

#

Everything can be gotten back in some shape or form

leaden ginkgo
#

Ahh, what about stuff like daystar/noct stuff; that seemed unique?

#

Really? Like EVERYTHING? :0

#

Niceu

faint flare
#

Yes...though Mogstation stuff would need to rebought

lavish vortex
leaden ginkgo
#

Haven’t bought any mogstation stuff yet

#

Tho is that even sellable?

faint flare
#

Daylight/noct stuff is like old dungeon gear or something

#

No

wintry chasm
faint flare
#

That

leaden ginkgo
#

@faint flare so I can toss daystar and noct?

wintry chasm
#

Now bought with allied hunt seals

faint flare
#

Yes

steep heron
leaden ginkgo
#

And is that worth holding onto? If so how do I manage better inventory

wintry chasm
#

What I'd do Mama

#

Is I'd go to an innroom

leaden ginkgo
#

No idea what an allied seal is

wintry chasm
#

Go to the armoire

#

and put anything you can in there

leaden ginkgo
#

I tried to and it won’t let me store anything

faint flare
#

No, there's better gear at 50 so not worth keeping

leaden ginkgo
#

Just my veteran reward stuff

wintry chasm
#

Then you have nothing actually unique Mama

leaden ginkgo
#

Not worried bout stats just appearance

steep heron
faint flare
#

As said, yoy can get everything back

remote lintel
#

allied seals are from ARR hunts

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh, so armoire is “unique” stuff for real

#

Nice

remote lintel
#

armoire is for like event items and the first AF gear

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you, and I have no idea what hunts are or seals

#

Or AF gear xD

#

I’m dumb

wintry chasm
#

AF gear is your job gear you get from your job quests

remote lintel
#

AF gear is artifact gear which is the class specific gear

leaden ginkgo
#

Ooo

#

High level stuff?

remote lintel
#

no

#

you get them at 50/60/70/80

steep heron
#

Anything that isnt max level is for fashion purposes via glamour system

wintry chasm
#

If you have anything you like the look of and want to keep for glamour put it in your glamour dresser

#

Otherwise uh

#

Trash anything else you don't want to keep for leveling other jobs/don't need anymore

remote lintel
#

i would note that you can't store dyed items in the armoire so if you want to keep them dyed put it in the glam dresser

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait we can store crap I’m the glam@dresser?

#

How deep is the inventory

wintry chasm
#

Yes

#

Uhh

steep heron
#

400

faint flare
#

400

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

😮

steep heron
#

fills up quick tbh

wintry chasm
#

Says you

leaden ginkgo
#

Well knowing I haven’t accidentally gotten rid of stuff matters the most, thanks

faint flare
#

Need 1 glamour prism per item

wintry chasm
#

Mine is only 50/400

steep heron
#

its not enough to store 1 of everytihng
so only do things you like

leaden ginkgo
#

I was worried I’d like, removed tons of irreplaceable stuff :<

steep heron
#

Anything can be replaced

leaden ginkgo
#

But wasn’t sure since I haven’t even finished the story yet xD

faint flare
#

Only like seasonal stuff is "irreplaceable"...
Even then it goes on Mogstation next year

wintry chasm
#

99.9%

faint flare
#

And often gotten back via calamity salvager

leaden ginkgo
#

Nice~

faint flare
#

I said seasonal

wintry chasm
#

Fine

#

but other events like GARO, unless you got the full set and got the title you can't buy back the gear

#

so in that sense that gear can be irreplaceable

Look in your gathering log for the collectables section

shell hazel
#

So i noticed from 15-50 the dungeon qs have been sub 10 min for a dps is that still the same for higher lvls ? - because so far the Population is nice :0

obsidian patio

All those rarefied items are the new collectables

dark dagger

pine plover
#

Hi, so I'm pretty new to ffxiv and I had a question about the class/job system.

I've read several starter guides, and from what I can tell it's possible to play pretty much any job on a single character if you just swap main weapons

#

Is that right?

remote lintel
#

yes

pine plover
#

Alright, but wouldn't that mean you'd have to keep different gear sets if you want to play different classes on one guy?

#

Like a str focused set or an int focused set

remote lintel
#

yes, you can save individual gear sets and swap to them at any time

pine plover
#

Ooo

remote lintel
#

except in combat and instances obv

pine plover
#

So you don't have to manually sit and swap sets

#

That's pretty great

remote lintel
#

they look like this

pine plover
#

I see

#

So do most people just do that?

#

I kind of like having different characters for different classes so I was considering having an individual character for dps/tanking/ranged magic

#

Would that just be adding on artificial grinding

remote lintel
#

you would have to do over EVERYTHING on each character

pine plover
#

Damn

remote lintel
#

nothing saves

pine plover
#

There's no account wide progression

#

Hm

remote lintel
#

no

#

alt characters cant even interact with each other

#

cant mail each other

#

cant trade, etc

pine plover
#

Damn

#

Cause I'd love to try different races and whatnot

remote lintel
#

you can link different outfits to each gear set but yeah

pine plover
#

So most players just have a single character they use, huh

remote lintel
#

yeah

#

not much reason to have alts

pine plover
#

Yea I suppose not with this system

#

I did read that changing main weaps resets your level too

#

So you have to retrain in your new class

remote lintel
#

yes

#

each class has individual levels

pine plover
#

And there's cross class skills

remote lintel
#

not really

#

there's role skills

shell dagger
#

where can you manage your existing gathering alarms? i set a wrong one by accident and i'd like to edit it

pine plover
#

I read that it's like, if you play archer and level up your bard later then you can use Cure from your bard as an archer

#

Something like that

remote lintel
#

no that system is dead

pine plover
#

Oh

#

Must have been reading an outdated guide

remote lintel
#

also bard IS an archer, just upgraded

pine plover
#

So there's subclasses?

remote lintel
#

its not really a subclass

#

its like a promotion

#

the top is all the skills you would have as an archer, the the bottom is the bard which adds on to that

pine plover
#

So you progress from "base" jobs to advanced

remote lintel
#

yes

pine plover
#

Like mage to summoner

#

Or something like that?

remote lintel
#

yes but summoner is weird

#

arcanist can become both scholar and summoner

pine plover
#

So is there only one tier of progression

#

Like archer into bard

#

Can bard progress further

remote lintel
#

no

pine plover
#

I see

remote lintel
#

only the base game classes are like that

#

the expansion jobs are already "upgraded" versions

pine plover
#

Ah

#

How many upgraded classes are there per base job

faint flare
#

1

remote lintel
pine plover
#

So I could have 1 character with every advanced job

#

If i grinded a lot

remote lintel
#

yes

pine plover
#

Huh
