Hey, I'm just starting stormblood, butt I feel as if I may have missed some important side quests while trying to clear ARR and HW. What would you guys say are the most important sidequests to clear?

how to earn gil with no crafting class
little swift
why would it not?
you gain 19 points of main stat and 27 points of vitality
also 27 defense
kind eagle
usually blue item is better than green
faint flare
No
little swift
thats false info yuki
kind eagle
oh
faint flare
Colours don't relate to strength
little swift
colour of the gear is not representative of the strenght
kind eagle
what color are for
little swift
white crafted gear of a later expansion is better than blue gear of a previous expansion
faint flare
Where its from
little swift
it just indicates what kind of gear it is
blue = tome/raid gear
green = crafted/dungeon
white = crafted/npc vendor
kind eagle
Ohh
kind eagle
lol
little swift
how to earn gil with no crafting class
do maps or find stuff on the market baord to flip
do your roulettes
kind eagle
buy maps and do it alone?
little swift
no do them in a party
8man mans tend to have more value because of portals and such

how do you get to set up a one time password? how does it work?
little swift
log into mogstation
and go to one-time password in account management
then you can set it up/follow the directions
after its set up
you have to use the software token or physical token every time you want to log in

for now, yes

i need to do sos normal but my ilvl is barely behind. i had to buy the exarchic weapon to boost it. should i do eden verse normal to get better gear?
cosmic reef
You have a couple options...
-
Get eden normal gear.
-
Buy crafted of MB
-
Wait until alliance raid
-
Wait until Bozja pt.2
-
Buy tome gear
If you need to get into raids/savage right now...
Crafted is your best bet

I remember receiving ||Thancred's eyepatch (?)|| from one of the post-stormblood MSQs, but can't seem to find it in my inventory or the retainers; what was it called again?

its either the recompense officer or the calamity one but its one of the npcs there

Is there any guide/tips i can look for when playing healer/tank? I lvled summoner/dragoon so far to nearly lvl 60 but before going further with the story, and most importantly redeeming the full game, i'd like to try more classes and see how they play out, however im not exactly sure what to look out for while playing healer/tank, as dps seems more strightforward / needs less attention
remote lintel
!faq tankguide
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
for healing spam as much dmg as possible while healing only what you need
cold steppe
i assume like 50-75ish % hp is the treshold i should start considering to heal?
faint flare
Depends on comfort level and resources available
remote lintel
prioritize ogcd heals first
cold steppe
to deal the most damage i assume
cold steppe
fair
well, all that is left is to play/practice then, i still get overwhealmed by amout of buttons generally but it's not a bad thing, since there's a certain skillfloor to that, which i like
thank you so much
remote lintel
tbh healing is more straightforward than dpsing
jovial tide
@twilit arch Thanks
cold steppe
Is it? It feels to me like i have to look out for more things than just well, dealing damage/positioning
remote lintel
its a lot easier to look out for those things when you just have to spam 1 button most of the time
jovial tide
For shake it off, since it's based on max HP, does it take into account thrill of battle's hp increase?
cold steppe
I suppose thats fair, since you're right that healers dont have combo's/chains
nor positionals
for me it's still kinda overwhealming, but to be fair i dont play for very long as of now, and im basically not used to the gameplay fully yet, it is a blast tho, thanks for the tips~
obsidian patio
For shake it off, since it's based on max HP, does it take into account thrill o...
No, since it consumes the buff before applying the shield
!action shake it off
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
obsidian patio
It eats those buffs to make the shield stronger
cold steppe
oh i meant to ask one more thing i forgot, is there any indicator in game that shows which card is for melee which one for ranged? Or is it basically about remembering which ones are for which?
obsidian patio
While you probably don’t want to have it eat a good buff like Vengeance if you’re in a fight that wants tank swaps or where you’re the MT, you can usually feed it Raw Intuition at very little risk
obsidian patio
Blue/purple being the colored border of the card in the gauge
cold steppe
ah yeah you're right, i wouldnt notice it by myself : o
obsidian patio
So Balance/Arrow/Spear/Lord is melee
And Bole/Ewer/Spire/Lady is ranged
cold steppe
thank you very much

basically all but 1 of the lvl 80 collectables

so what am I looking for there?

in the gathering log, if its a timed node item it has a two little diamonds next to the location

is the glamour item higher level than what you're glamour'ing?
remote lintel
youre trying to glamour something but it doesnt meet a requirement
limpid lynx
it shouldn't be
I'm trying to glamour my exarch healing thingy with my ast class gear
wait
limpid lynx
I mean, the constellation top (glam item) is 70 and the exarch coat is 80
is the problem that the top is ast only gear and the exarch coat is
...healer only
obsidian patio
Nope
remote lintel
are you on your ast?
limpid lynx
I'm not, but it also occurs to me that I have an ast and scholar and plan to use the same coat for both
so that glam wouldn't have been optimal anyway ;_;
remote lintel
if youre not ast then you cant use the constellation top
limpid lynx
even as a glam, makes sense
remote lintel
if you cant wear it you cant use it as a glam
limpid lynx
I'm not allowed to pretend my scholar is in full plate, I demand a refund

So I backed up my client/character settings on my old pc. On the new pc I downloaded them from the server. However when I log in I still have all the default settings. What am I doing wrong?!

For unspoiled nodes, can i only get it once during the timeframe?
gleaming mist
as drk, should i be saving 3000 mana for blackest knight at all times?
if you're familiar with tank buster timings in bosses, then you don't need to save 3k mp at all times, having that mp ideally be spent under raid buffs if any are there, and regenerate mp if you recognize a tank buster will come soon
obsidian patio
For unspoiled nodes, can i only get it once during the timeframe?
Yes
manic flare
well if u get a card say that only benefits melee dps but u have no melee dps
u undraw it
narrow arch
So what’s with all the tribes?
wintry chasm
I assume you mean beast tribe quests but just to be sure can you be more specific?
narrow arch
Yep that’s what I mean sorry
wintry chasm
Those are little groups you can do dailies for and get rewards and stuff
Can get mounts, gear, minions, emotes
narrow arch
Do people typically do all of them?
wintry chasm
Uhhh it's a time commitment to do all of them but honestly given enough time I'm pretty sure most people would do them all
Especially when you start hitting level cap and you have more free time on your hands

spring oasis
for eden
if I dont wanan do savage content, if I wanna collect lost blades I only get 1 per week right
to get the item i wantr
obsidian patio
Yes, if you don’t do savage you won’t get your tomestone weapon until the 7th week
So you want to spend your tomestones accordingly to best make use of them to ensure you got 1000 available on the 7th week
What I do is get the chest, legs, and either head/arms/boots
That leaves me with 1005 tomestones left by the 7th week
spring oasis
ye I gotta get 10 ticket thingys right
I want the crypt weapon cause when you can dye it
remote lintel
yes
spring oasis
it looks good
remote lintel
well to dye it you need to do savage content
obsidian patio
Until 5.5 comes out, yes

if you skip floors then you forfeit all the loot for the previous floors

E10S also drops the weapon token
Which lets you get the weapon as early as the 3rd week
spring oasis
interesting alrite
@obsidian patio so
if I do E11S
I can get what I want, and I only need to learn THAT savage content correct?
obsidian patio
Technically, yes.
faint flare
Techincally yes but you should do them in order since each is a step up...and you're forfeiting loot on previous floors

hey everyone. so im stuck with same glamour-set between WHM/SCH/AST right? (talking about endgame gear, so i really cant have 2 of those things )
remote lintel
no

then?

no you can have multiple glamour sets on the same set of gear by linking glamour plates to the gearset

just make separate plates for each of them?

hey guys i need to gear up my crafters, i was wondering
is there a version of the handking gear that exists for level 60?
so far i've only found class specific gear for each crafter at 60, but something like handking gear (which is for level 70) for level 60 classes would be very extremely helpful
sorry i should add, gear that you buy with yellow crafter scrips
i know u can buy stuff off MB
but i would like to use crafter scrips
manic flare
so how do people gear level 60-70 crafters?
twilit arch
push to 61 and use bloodhempen
manic flare
it would seem very costly to use the class specific gear

or can I do it if I'm in 5.2?

i dont think you can do it in 5.2
limber walrus
is it better than the Crypt lurker stuff? can I save my tomestones of rev?

Next upgrade should put it around 515 probably

Exarchic or Emerald is a good stopgap until Revelation

The new tomestone
onyx kiln
ah
limber walrus
okay
onyx kiln
for some reason i assumed Revelation was the name of the next expansion
limber walrus
that would be SICK
onyx kiln
yeah but i think its far to early for title drops
and we are most likely getting a new set of weapons before that
faint flare
Well
Techincally yes with Diamond weapons from Diamond weapon EX
But no more actual gear, outside of the final nier raid
And upgraded relics
cosmic reef
Yeah. It'll definitely be an easy relic.
[Unless you need to beat the new castrum for the relic.]
Which means you'll have like 5 months to get it done
desert crag
so i am a noob at the game and am playing lancer. atm im just using whatever gear has most defense. i imagine this is okay until i reach max level. but when should i start worrying about my gear? what bonuses should i be looking for and what materia effects?
cosmic reef
Before you're unable to complete it.
remote lintel
just pick whatever gear has the higher ilvl/has more strength until you reach max lvl @desert crag
desert crag
okay. and after?
agile night
you don't need to worry about materia
remote lintel
worry about that when you reach max lvl
agile night
the game also gives you decent gear, and plenty of poetics to buy good gear at 50, 60 I know. I imagine beyond that is similar.
faint flare
Item level is king through and through
remote lintel
there's multiple gear sets and multiple ways of getting them and different bis sets etc

desert crag
two questions. just seen the winter sale on SE store. if i buy DLC from SE store will it work with base game i got from steam? also if its a no to the first question its cheaper to buy the entire game + all DLC than it is to get shadowbringers of steam. if i bought game from SE store would i be able to use my account still?
remote lintel
- no 2. no, they are the same price 3. no
starter edition + shb is the same price as complete
desert crag
complete edition is £17.50 on sale no? whereas shadowbringers is £30
as in £17.50 on SE as opposed to £30 on steam
twilit arch
do you really want to start all over again
desert crag
thats what im asking.... will i have to start again? i can sign into my SE account will that transfer my character?
remote lintel
oh theres a sale on the SE store
twilit arch
You would have to make a new service account
remote lintel
but shb is only slightly cheaper than complete

which means starting all over again

is there a macro for me to "Looking for Party" or "Recruiting Party Members"
wintry chasm
The only relation is that while gathering as a botanist you can gather seeds you can use in gardening
That's it
wet sigil
oh ok, that makes sense, tyvm
spare plinth
i dunno, i feel like iconoclasm is one of those raids where even on normal you need a party finder who knows how it works
or maybe if its better if i ask my fc to do it and have them call out which portal is safe
faint flare
Iconoclasm literally just has portals
And those are extremely easy once you underatand them
spare plinth
yeah, i think the problem is that i cant move as blm

sounds like you need to simply practice the fight more

Collectable Appraisers accept it, assuming it meets the minimum collectability requirement. Collectable Appraisers are found in the market districts of the three starting cities, Revenant's Toll, Idyllshire, Rhalgr's Reach, and Eulmore.

collectables were revamped for gatherers

limber walrus
as someone who has only finished 5.1 and is finishing 5.2 this Saturday, this greatly distresses me
I wanna have the cool endgame shit xd
twilit arch
you wouldn't be able to get the sword immediately anyway
requires either 7 weeks of e12n or 3 weeks if you can clear e11s and win the roll for the tomestone
twilit arch
current tier is initially weekly locked yes, so you can't freely farm it
while normal mode lets you repeat the fight until you win a drop, the blade used to exchange for the tomestone to exchange for the weapon itself is only given once per week
And you need 7 blades of lost antiquity
ergo 7 weeks
limber walrus
man...
I could understand 1 a day, like a daily, but 1 a week
that's crazy
I guess it is worthwhile to just overmeld Exarchic sword for now then

Do beast tribes, and wonderous tails for some nice exp while queuing
wintry chasm
Right so
Beast tribe quests are dailies you can unlock and they aren't bad xp
and you get cool shit from them
emotes and mounts and stuff
honest anvil
SB beast tribes give like 1m exp in 5 min

I'm not sure sayu, but a quick search seems those config files are saved in C:\Users\your name\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn, it wouldn't hurt to backup the files from that folder.

Can also back them up in character select to se servers too
It will delete your settings for sure
weak trail
yeah I did a backup to the server for my character but still wasn't sure
little swift
Back up your configuration to server too
weak trail
how you do that?
the reason I am doing this is because one of my alts file got corrupted
and idk how to fix it so I thought maybe I should reinstall the game
little swift
Its the other little gear button in character select

Yes
weak trail
okie dokie
so I did that and I went to documents > my game files > ffxiv ARR and then find a bunch of folders that say ffxiv_chr00 something something
so I made a backup of those in a new folder

so for the lost city of amdapor, do u guys just mark all the doors then party chat which doors to open?
i'm not sure how to coordinate the door openings
manic flare
it was all noobs
had one samurai that just did one move over and over
not even combos
just one single target move the enitre time....even against mobs
manic flare
i was doing that but i kept running out of time
twilit arch
then say "click on x door (x being the appropriate pair door)", but again unless everyone in the party is doing poorly
you should see 1-2 sets of doors
jovial tide
On WAR, when pulling wall to wall, is it worth performing a single target combo to initialize storm's eye before going into AoE rotation or is it generally better to just go straight into AoE rotation?
twilit arch
the first set of door shouldn't kill you, neither would the 2nd really
jovial tide
Then I suppose there is the small concern of losing aggro during those ~7 seconds of not using an AoE
little swift
On WAR, when pulling wall to wall, is it worth performing a single target combo ...
while pulling use your aoe but when you settle putting up storm's eye is good
muted sierra
I usually do a full aoe combo then do storms eye
little swift
the gain of the damage buff is greater than the 3 gcds lost
jovial tide
Speaking of AoEs, how do you all optimally aim the conal AoE? Some pulls are just so crowded it's impossible to really 'click a mob in the center' to maximize the AoE and I end up only hitting half the pack with overpower
hidden lotus
Uhh, can someone explain to me what this nonsense is?
jovial tide
Cycling feels unreliable at best
The worst pulls are those with 1 or 2 mid/large size mobs that just block click targeting with their huge hitboxes
wintry chasm
Uhh, can someone explain to me what this nonsense is?
memes
hidden lotus
ooookay then~
jovial tide
I've seen some WARs pull exclusively with mythril for reliability and others do the 1-2 combo whenever possible; is there a consensus on this?
crimson wind
mythril spam is stupid
don't do it
just overpower > mythril
overpower isn't hard to use
obsidian patio
Basically the same, pick whatever looks cooler to you
manic flare
they have difference in critical hit, DH and determination
which stat is more important for samurai?
warped nest
Barely noticeable
wintry chasm
Yeah but that's not important whatsoever
agile night
I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm just grabbing anything level 60, will that work out or should I be looking for specific things? in diadem
warped nest
And does not matter in 2 levels
manic flare
critical hit, determination, or DH?
warped nest
Because in 2 levels, you will get a gear with more Strength
manic flare
but i want to know for future which stats for focus
and which type of materia to use
warped nest
Strength
obsidian patio
I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm just grabbing anything level 60, will that...
In terms of experience the highest stuff you can
If you’re crafting skybuilder stuff get the materials used in them
wintry chasm
skill speed to tier > DH = Crit > Det for level 80 Snack
That's the substat priority for gear for SAM

Does anyone know how to get Dafangshi for lv 68 fisher class quest?

If I'm an AST isn't it Ok if I'm diurnal even if my partner is a whm?
agile night
I expect this is something I want, but not sure how to approve it
twilit arch
yes you can do diurnal with a white mage
unless you're in a situation where you really need shields (i.e savage)
digital elm
I was in a prog and they got upset at me for not going noct even tho we weren't dying from lack of shields
warped nest
Prog... Savage or ex?
wintry chasm
I expect this is something I want, but not sure how to approve it
gotta talk to the appraiser next to the NPC you talk to to go into The Diadem
warped nest
Read what Snow said
agile night
alright
twilit arch
ehh, i mean generally if you're progging savage you should ideally be in noct tbh
digital elm
okay
twilit arch
its only week 2, so not a lot of gear
warped nest
Having shield = more "health" for damage to punch through
digital elm
I just usually don't know when to put shields but ig I should practice that
twilit arch
just safer to do noct for now, once we're later in tier and more people have 520/530 then yeah you can switch to diurnal
warped nest
Shield everyone when you are expecting group damages
Either from unavoidable raid wide
Or various stacking mechanics that requires people to soak damages

I'm trying to get the unlocks for other submarine zones as I'm currently stuck on the Midden Pit. I keep running it but I can't get The Open Robe to unlock. Is it a random chance of unlock or is there a certain breakpoint needed? My subs are all ~70 rank
leaden ginkgo
@wise acorn castrum is in the last quest for bozja atm and a lot of the bozja story cutscenes are after you completed castrum
wise acorn
Is it even worth completing

if you care about the bozja story / gear glam then yeah otherwise not necessarily
it may be needed for the next bozja update though

the gear glam is just the weaps right? no armors or nothin?

For the most part though since you have to use HQ materials regardless, unless you're aiming to rank in the Ishgard Rankings next minor patch, don't try to max it out.

I can't find the current ilvl cap but it's like 1637 gathering iirc?
for quick ventures that is

may i ask is the reason why i shouldnt use high tier set on the crafters if i am participating in ishgard rankings is because ishgard needs a certain stats ? id prefer to materia the highest quality
slate arrow
It's fuckin' expensive
gloomy mortar
My retainers’ gathering stats are ~2100
slate arrow
may i ask is the reason why i shouldnt use high tier set on the crafters if i am...
Mainly Cost/benefit for high melds
frank wigeon
i understand that sounds cool to know
slate arrow
You don't need those melds unless you're planning on crafting in large quantities, which Ishgard is all about
since saving time helps in the long run
(or battling on the MB but the cost/profit ratio has be plummeting since the 5.1 rework)
frank wigeon
ill keep that in mind when i materia my gear, youre awesome at explaining complex things in a simple way @slate arrow

What’s the difference between Wish List and Favorites Lust on the MB?
slate arrow
lol wrong indus
frank wigeon
ops!
slate arrow
What’s the difference between Wish List and Favorites Lust on the MB?
One's public, the other is personal
Wish List basically adds 1 to the 'in demand' counter on the MB listing (the star) favorites just adds it to a personal list for you to keep track of
mint adder
Is it best to start crafting early? I'm at lvl 65 and haven't trained any life skills
seems like everything I'd be able to craft would be useless to me for quite a while
mint adder
I thik I'd like to get into it
little swift
it is a time consuming undertaking rather than difficult
how much time you take is sort of inversely proportional to the amount of disposable income you have
if you spend more gil to buy all the materials you need the less time you spend
mint adder
If I buy ingredients from the vendor and craft to higher level things, will I lose money? should I gather everything myself?
patent citrus
@mint adder hand in your gc supply & provision mission once a day hehe
little swift
but you can also level gatherers together and make it cheaper this way
keeping gatherers about 5 levels above your crafters will make it a bit cheaper
remote lintel
most higher level stuff doesnt use ingredients you can buy from vendors
you get it yourself or buy them from the mb
mint adder
Ah that makes sense. Well I'll get the gather+crafting up to 10 or so and see how I feel
remote lintel
if youre going to craft then level all crafters together

might depend on the job and the additional effect granted

If you get Raiden Thrust you know you did them correctly, but sometimes you get it even if you do them wrong : P

if you got raiden thrust, then you hit your positionals
if you didn't hit them, then you wouldn't get it

snapshots when you hit the skill.

You can slide as the skill is happening
