questions-and-help

[patent citrus]

haven't got the time yet hehe

[open ember]

you will eventually haha

[patent citrus]

probably much later on.. i'm still leveling my crafters to 80 this week

[indigo vale]

Is there an aesthetician or something that I can buy facial hair from? Dunno if race is important, but I'm a Highlander Hyur if so

[open ember]

yes

[vale violet]

highly recommend running eureka with friends though, the early content gets real stale real quick

[patent citrus]

yeah highlander hyur has a lot of hairstyle choices

[open ember]

there's a guy that lets you change your hair and facial features and make up

you have unlock him

[patent citrus]

you'll meet him eventually lol, it's one of the blue quests you met early in the game

[open ember]

Beauty Is Only Scalp Deep in upper Decks of Limsa

[indigo vale]

Oh I don't mean Jondelaine or whatever his name is, I mean like the chick in the casino

Where you can buy a hairstyle

[open ember]

OHHH

there's a woman off to the side next to the stairs wear the casino vendors are

[indigo vale]

Asking cause my beard clips through helmets

[twilit arch]

there's no facial hair unlocks

what kind of beard/mustache you can use is based entirely on race/face

[open ember]

isnt tied to your character

and the only way to change it is fantasia

i dont have facial hair on any of my characters

[indigo vale]

So this is the anguish that Emet felt

While I'm here, what do these mean

[patent citrus]

it's auto translator

[oblique trellis]

auto translate

[patent citrus]

so you can speak with people who use different client language

there are 4 languages available en/jp/de/fr the sentence inside that bracket will translate to the player's client language

[little swift]

Not a different client, language

[patent citrus]

oh right 😂

try to type hel and press "tab"

[indigo vale]

Ah, I see, interesting

[wet cradle]

can you deactivate those nmbers?

[oblique trellis]

tries to figure out what those numbers are

[patent citrus]

party number maybe? 🤔

i see L = leader there

[wet cradle]

I think these are group aggro numbers

or rankings

you can see those numbers when you target an enemy

[patent citrus]

hmm weird, i don't see on mine...

[vale violet]

theyre the aggro numbers yeah

[indigo vale]

Enmity sounds right

[raven sage]

You have to all be in combat with the same thing to see it

So yeah it's emnity

[vale violet]

its the order the boss will attack if the tank dies

[wet cradle]

ah

can you deactivate them?

[indigo vale]

Maybe I should pay attention to those when I tank
Totally not a Lv80 PLD or anything

[vale violet]

nope

[open ember]

also "A" instead of a number means they have aggro

[vale violet]

unless you totally remove your party list hud option but thats not a super smart idea imo

[wet cradle]

nah lol

I need it as healer

but thanks 🙂

[gritty oracle]

So if I transpose between pulls to keep eno-chan up, how should I open new fights? UI 1 into Fire 3, AF 1 into Fire 3, or what should I do?

[patent citrus]

oh yeah i see them now

i always paid attention to the bar

[wet cradle]

yeah me too and I want to remove them

so I can see the full bar

[gloomy ice]

Don’t think that’s possible without mods but I’m not sure where a mod like that would exist

[patent citrus]

i don't mind

actually it's easier now..

seeing what these numbers means..

[wet cradle]

oh true

[vale violet]

if its just in between trash, its not super important except for speed, but i just hardcast UI3 or doublecast UI1 to get to full ice then AF3 for the mana cost reduction and cast speed

once you hit 74, you should literally never hit transpose again except to swap to ice after a fight if youre on fire

[gritty oracle]

Why, what happens at 74?

I'm only 59 atm

[vale violet]

you get the skill Umbral Soul that lets you keep eno up forever and add an ice stack so you can immediately go into your rotation

[twilit arch]

you mean 76

[gritty oracle]

ooh

[vale violet]

might be 76, havent played BLM since 5.1

[twilit arch]

74 just gives you the trait that reduces sharpcast's cd

[nocturne bear]

Hey, whats a blue mage?

[vale violet]

the coolest kid in school

[nocturne bear]

I see alot of videos mention it, yet some totally neglect it

[twilit arch]

blue mage is a limit job

its basically fun side content

[nocturne bear]

Limit job?

[vale violet]

its a pretty fun side content thing where you get to essentially customize your moveset

[twilit arch]

can't do main scenario quest with it, can't randomly queue into duty finder or use it in palace of the dead/heaven on high

[vale violet]

but you cant run normal stuff with other classes

[twilit arch]

and currently can only go to lvl 60

[nocturne bear]

I see. So its like a class but not really?

[gritty oracle]

in a couple months it will be able to go to 70!

[vale violet]

you gotta get all your skills yourself by watching monsters do them then beat the monster to learn it

[gritty oracle]

Think of it as a new minigame, like fishing, or crafting, or gathering

[nocturne bear]

Gotcha

[gritty oracle]

You can also get a couple titles and emotes out of it

[vale violet]

and morbol-chan

[gritty oracle]

Morbol is pretty hard to get though. You have to do savage with all blu teams, sync on, echo off

[vale violet]

still trying for it lol

[simple pine]

can i have a /micon for a food or item? so i know what craft it is for?

[gritty oracle]

I think it's /micon "name of item" item

no idea if it can be HQ icon though

[simple pine]

it doesn't seem to work for food/ingredients

[gritty oracle]

that's odd

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/text_command/e6e219e1adc/

[simple pine]

that doesn't even include the /micon "x item" item 🤔

i seem to be able to do it with ingrediants, but not food

[manic flare]

is there a guide on making macros and macro templates?

[simple pine]

usually just take an existing one and modify it, there is no easy way really

[manic flare]

is your username named after the band?

[simple pine]

no it's my irl name

[manic flare]

cool

[gritty oracle]

if I didn't attend previous starlight events, I can't rebuy previous years' sets, right?

[manic flare]

there's different starlight sets?

[raven sage]

The previous sets are in the online store

With the exception of the dream set

Which is also still available in-game but you would either need someone to give it to you or spend an absurd amount of gil on the market board

[manic flare]

u can't craft it?

[raven sage]

They're not crafted items, no

[simple pine]

oh you have to have a normal quality item in your inventory to use it as /micon "itemname" item ??

[patent citrus]

@simple pine what item do you want to put as micon?

[simple pine]

coffee biscuit

i only have hq ones

and /micon "Coffee Biscuit" item

doesnt work

[patent citrus]

hmm i don't see item in the /micon option

maybe it's just for skills

based on the https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/text_command/e6e219e1adc/

you tried on ingredients before?

[simple pine]

/micon "Highland Flour" item
works

[patent citrus]

hmm that one doesn't work for me

[simple pine]

i have those normal quality in my inventory

thats what made me think you need to have it in inventory

[patent citrus]

oh true, i don't have that

maybe try to get coffee biscuit then 😂

[weak escarp]

So im close to unlocking my chocoboco and was thinking of getting the angeletic barding. Thing is I heard u need to unlock the ability to customize. So do I need to unlock something to put on the barding or nah?

[polar hound]

Just need to unlock it as a combat pet/companion too via the quest My Fiesty Little Chocobo in..bentbranch or something

[scarlet arrow]

which is a level 30 quest IIRC

[weak escarp]

Ah okay rip

[manic flare]

does the "other master recipes" contain recipes for master weaver VII?

i had thought i bought the recipe book from the vendor but none of the items show up there

[clever cave]

What item are you looking for?

[manic flare]

dalmascan draped top

it's in master weaver VII

but the list only goes up to 6

[clever cave]

You need to purchase book VII

If you already bought it and it is in your inventory somewhere, it will not let you buy a second

[manic flare]

i used it up

[clever cave]

Its possible you bought the book for a different crafting job

[gloomy ice]

Other Master Recipes contains just glam prisms iirc

There was once even more in that tab but it got trimmed down a while ago

[twilit arch]

no, there's some glamour items in it as well

the demimateria book recipes go in there

reasons that i can think of why 7/8 don't show: you either didn't buy those books or you're not 80 yet

[leaden ginkgo]

hey having problems connecting my controller? I can move my char around with my xbox one controller, but my skills are still in pc mode

it says my controller is connected too in menu

[obsidian patio]

Go to character config and click the controller/keyboard button in the top left

[leaden ginkgo]

hmm let me try one sec

[obsidian patio]

You might also need a macro that hides/shows UI elements for it to “swap” based on what control method you use

[hollow glade]

Can you not buy from Mogstation if you are on Free Trial ?

[remote lintel]

you can

except some things

[hollow glade]

I'm trying to buy the Xmas outfit

Keeps giving me an error

[remote lintel]

what error

[leaden ginkgo]

@obsidian patio thx dood fixed it

[hollow glade]

Error Code: i2501

You cannot use this function

[twilit arch]

unfortunately i2501 is kind of a broad issue error. some general suggestions to fix it are: try a different browser, try using mobile data, or if you're using a vpn, to turn it off

[hollow glade]

Ahh ok thx

[zealous flower]

what's a good place to use yellow crafter scrip? i've been getting it from squadron missions and am nearing the cap, all my crafters are still around 60ish and i haven't actually done any collectible etc. stuff

[obsidian patio]

You can use it for gear upgrades if applicable. If not then spend them on materia to sell for a profit

[rigid dust]

does the Tales of Adventure for jobs also give MSQ progression? or would i still work my way through MSQ as like, a level 70 ninja? lol

[obsidian patio]

Job boost doesn’t touch story at all

You’ll need a story boost in combination with job boost if you want to immediately start Shadowbringers content

[rigid dust]

oh perfect!!! me and a friend are wanting to make alts, but i was also wanting to go back through MSQ and catch all the story details i missed the first time c:

[open ember]

$50 USD for job skip and story skip off sale

Job skips are $17 now

[rigid dust]

sweet!! thanks all c:

[manic flare]

how long is maintenance going to last?

[obsidian patio]

6 hours at most

[leaden ginkgo]

6 hours, starts in 6 and a half

[leaden ginkgo]

I started playing the pc version and was wondering how to put the modifiers like control and shift onto the side mouse buttons? Since I have heard those are a good way to use those buttons, but I cannot find where to bind that to it

[neon trellis]

Hello. New player. While leveling up my first character, is it worth spending any time selling gear? Or is the money so insignificant that it doesn't matter? Also, should I "save" gear for when I start picking up other jobs?

[patent citrus]

you mean from crafting? better focus on MSQ and blue quests first tbh...

[remote lintel]

if youre low level you can sell gear until you rank up high enough at your grand company to turn them in

[neon trellis]

I mean more so that random stuff you pick up over the Main Quest

Not crafting.

[remote lintel]

if its better than your gear you should be using it

[zealous flower]

you get practically no gil selling to NPCs and used gear can't be put on the marketplace

if you have crafters up to lv30 you might want to desynthesis them to level that skill, otherwise probably best to turn into the grand company for seals though that also has a rank requirement

[neon trellis]

Ok

I'm level 26 on first job

Thanks!

[gilded forge]

When a staff says "Delay" is a higher or lower number better?

[remote lintel]

its autoattack delay iirc which doesnt really matter

[gilded forge]

Oh perfect!

[scarlet arrow]

honestly don't worry too much about gil, you get enough to cover expenses through normal gameplay

[leaden ginkgo]

I guess does anyone have a good answer for my question awhile ago? But I am unsure for what to exactly call it. Simply I use shift and control for hotbar 2 and 3 and I've heard that you can put those 2 on the mouse 4 and 5 (I think)

[digital bramble]

Hey, I've been wondering
What are the biggest/longest knives for Ninja ?

[remote lintel]

!iglam dead hive kris

[zinc orbit]

**Dead Hive Kris** **:** Rogue's Arm

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[obsidian patio]

!iglam high allagan cleavers

[zinc orbit]

**High Allagan Cleavers** **:** Rogue's Arm

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[digital bramble]

hmmm

[gilded forge]

You can get some that look like a par of katanas at 70 I'm pree sure

[obsidian patio]

Probably the biggest ones I know

[digital bramble]

alright, thanks !

[gilded forge]

Maybe they're the eureka relics?

[obsidian patio]

That’s something you’d have to check with your mouse settings, not all of them might allow that

[solid lion]

Any advice on how to revive a dead fc

[remote lintel]

recruit

[gilded forge]

Raffles

[chrome salmon]

any tips on getting to the sergeant third class when u finished hunting log 1

like

i got 4000 more to go rip

[gilded forge]

Fates and roulettes

[obsidian patio]

Complete fates. Leveling roulette also gives seals

[chrome salmon]

bet

fates it is

do guildhest do so too or?

[obsidian patio]

I don’t think they give good seals, but they’re pretty fast nonetheless if your queue is good

[gilded forge]

They do but they're SUPER not worth

You get like 90 per?

[obsidian patio]

Yeah fates is better than that

[gilded forge]

And that's only if you're the Adventurer in need

You get 60 if not

[obsidian patio]

If you can get the role in need for leveling roulette that gives a couple thousand

[gilded forge]

^

[obsidian patio]

(Unsure if that scales based on level or GC rank)

[chrome salmon]

hm ok

if anyone knows what fates scale with thatd be nice

[remote lintel]

different zones have different fate levels

[lavish vortex]

Hi! Question: for the emerald weapon extreme fight, do you have a weekly cap on tokens? Or you get one every time you beat the boss?

[faint flare]

Extremes are never weekly capped

[lavish vortex]

Nice, thanks

[chrome salmon]

then what zone would yall suggest i go to if im around 49-50

[remote lintel]

azys lla prob

[little swift]

[remote lintel]

[chrome salmon]

[static yacht]

why are servers gonig down tonight?

new patch?

[twilit karma]

no just "hotfixes"

[patent citrus]

hmm if i send my retainers to 6 hours mission and the patch last for 6 hours

will it be done when the patch is finished? lol

or is it stopped during hotfix?

[slate arrow]

timers don't stop for patches usually

Unless it's a hotfix to patch said timers but that hasn't happened ever

[raw granite]

Hello, I'm level 30, finished all the marauders quests, and yet I don't get the warrior job quest, how do I get it ?

[obsidian patio]

What’s your current story quest name?

[raw granite]

a wild rose by any other name

[obsidian patio]

Need to do more story

[raw granite]

okay !

[obsidian patio]

Once you complete the quest “Sylph Management” at level 20 you can unlock jobs

[raw granite]

makes sense, thank you !

[timid geyser]

random question, how do I unlock the raid to get this beauty ?
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/38722318cb7/#tab2

[patent citrus]

that's definitely from weapon's refrain ultimate i think 🤔

[obsidian patio]

Complete Sigmascape v4.0 Savage to unlock Ultima Weapon Ultimate

[timid geyser]

I like my Curtana Atma but this one looks hot asf

[timid geyser]

is it the Omega Raid series ?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[timid geyser]

aight, rhalgr's reach here I come

[obsidian patio]

I must warn that Ultimate raids require a LOT of practice/progression and not for the light hearted

[timid geyser]

Do you still get the totems by doing it unsync ?

[obsidian patio]

You can’t unsync period.

[timid geyser]

😦

Guess I won't get Curtana Ultima lol

[patent citrus]

yeah, just unsync'd the sigmascape 4.0

[obsidian patio]

Even if you could unsync the fight has a metric ton of mechanics you can’t ignore through brute force

[patent citrus]

for the ultimate raid, you won't be able to finish it unsync'd hehe

[timid geyser]

I can't run very hard content with my curent PC because it lags sometimes

And I have to do every action with a one second delay so it's hardcore lol

[patent citrus]

oh for that, just follow this guidance https://www.logicalincrements.com/games/pc-building-guide-final-fantasy-14-ffxiv

[timid geyser]

I guess it just makes me better cause it means I must learn harder and anticipate everything

[patent citrus]

depends on the quality you are aiming

[timid geyser]

Oh, I don't need that imma get a new computer like

next month

I'll run the game at maximum specs with that computer

[patent citrus]

ah ok maybe you can start raiding now hehe

maybe your static is also interested in finishing the ultima weapon ultimate

[timid geyser]

I'm not in any static lol

I just @ a few friends and they come

[patent citrus]

well then look for one 😂

nice

[timid geyser]

i'll farm rathalos first, I need the mount

There are no Rathalos weapons, right ?

[patent citrus]

not sure myself

[timid geyser]

That's a missed opportunity tbh

[patent citrus]

wasn't here during SB, but i think i saw the armorset

[onyx kiln]

does AST regen stack with WHM regen?

[patent citrus]

yeh

[oblique trellis]

No

[timid geyser]

Yeah and the armorset isn't even from the MH games

[patent citrus]

wait, aspected benefic and regen doesn't stack?

o_o

[unkempt marsh]

If you're in raid when maintenance is approaching, does it kick you out to the overworld (then logoff) the moment it's scheduled to start, or sometime before? Barring that, is there some limit to prevent you from instancing ~an hour before maint? I've got a group that only meets once a week so we'd rather not just delay

[unkempt marsh]

yes; the only conflicts you need to worry about are with shields

[proud willow]

kick usually happens a few minutes after the scheduled start

[unkempt marsh]

sweet, thanks. Never bothered to try and run into the maint before but, well

[timid geyser]

How much time before maint ?

[patent citrus]

5 hours or so i think

[proud willow]

you can type !maint in #kupo-bot-spam

[oblique trellis]

If it does I've been misled

[unkempt marsh]

you've been misled

[timid geyser]

So i have 5 hours to unlock M'Naago deliveries ? ezpz

[oblique trellis]

Oh it doesn't stack with Galvanize, mb...so why go Nocturnal when grouped with WHM think

[cold steppe]

any idea why i cant cast glamour on my dragoon boots despite i try using boots that are also specyfically for lancer/dragoon class?

[unkempt marsh]

gz, now you're up to speed

[patent citrus]

i usually just go diurnal 😂

[proud willow]

Probably item level

[unkempt marsh]

some WHMs hate to see a diurnal AST but there's nothing mechanically wrong with it

[cold steppe]

you cant cast glamour on lower ILVL items?

[proud willow]

you can't overwrite a lower item level item with a higher item level glamour

[cold steppe]

AH

well i guess it makes sense but lol, i didnt noticed those boots had higher Ilvl, i just bought them cuz they looked at bit better with the armor i have currently lol. Thanks.

[exotic zodiac]

I have days left on my 30 day free trial- if I subscribe, do the free days 'upgrade' and become the same as paid ones? Or do they disappear, or what?

[patent citrus]

there's no limit to free trial

[exotic zodiac]

I thought maybe the 30 days had different features than the infinite-until-a-certain-level days

[patent citrus]

the sub date usually starts 30 days after you activate your complete edition product

since it includes 30 days free game time

[hasty musk]

if you bought the game, you're not on the free trial

you get 30 days free, but that's not the same thing

once those days are over, you have to subscribe to play

[exotic zodiac]

oh I get where i was misunderstanding, ok. thank you both!

[atomic cipher]

anybody here have a build of ffxivmon?

[obsidian patio]

Namazu beast tribe, IIRC

[verbal rune]

Both of them?

It's peculiar I guess

Since there is no beast tribe indicator

[obsidian patio]

Yes, they’re precursors that eventually combine into a single questline and lead to the unlock

[bronze narwhal]

Can you trade Allied seals into Centurio or Nuts? Or trading Nuts into Allied/Centurio?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[bronze narwhal]

Rip centurio emote then, I rarely see people doing SB train, mostly ShB

[patent citrus]

oh which data center?

Elemental?

[bronze narwhal]

[patent citrus]

oh train

Hi! I just got an emerald weapon from ex trial for a job that I don’t play and don’t intend to play lol... is there some use to it? Like desynth to get mats or something I can trade it for?

[remote lintel]

sure but you wont get any loot from any other floor

[faint flare]

Normal

Yes

You can do them in any order

Savage you cant skip without forfeiting loot

[gilded brook]

Hey people, I've been playing this game on the free trial for the past few days and have found myself enjoying despite not usually being a fan of MMORPG's. I was just wondering how much content the game actually comes with including expansions and if it's worth buying the complete edition for it as well as how much of it is doable as a solo player as I have no friends who play the game already. Thanks for any help!

[faint flare]

It comes with the rest of the game

The trail is basically half of it

[patent citrus]

well definitely can purchase the game now and enter the code later when you finished Heavensward

since it's currently on 50% sale

[restive grail]

whats the weapon that has the red and blue orbs around it and how do i get them?

[faint flare]

Crafted Zurvan weapons

[gilded brook]

Also what's the best place to find people to play the game with.

[restive grail]

thanks

[patent citrus]

@gilded brook facebook community maybe?

find a person who live around your region

[zinc orbit]

Role Quests FAQ

What are Role Quests?

Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.

At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.

I can't find where I left off!

No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests

[tidal leaf]

I have that page up now but Granson isnt here

The other 3 are

@remote lintel I dont think so? D:

[obsidian patio]

You might’ve done some of the other quests and forgot

Check the tank role quest link for positions of all the quests in the chain

[faint flare]

Check your completed tab in the journal

To see what your last one was

[tidal leaf]

Oh snap I forgot that tab even existed Thank you

[manic flare]

is there an option (keybind) that will let me always select the nearest enemy and never cycle through enemies?

i find that sometimes when i lose selection of enemy and i press "select nearest enemy target" the system has a habit of then going to the next closest enemy (which is actually the furthest enemy)

[obsidian patio]

Yes

The default key bind is F11 and can be changed in the keybind menu

[potent lava]

which will be more used by monk, True North or Riddle of Earth?
need to figure out which goes on one button and alt+button

[obsidian patio]

Riddle of Earth since it’s up a bit more often

Also it has damage mitigation in it that could help

[outer plank]

||6.0 is gonna be ffxiv cataclysm||

[green grail]

that's already 2.0

[agile night]

Right now I've got skills in the 60's, is it worth getting better foods at this point or should I just wait? I've been using antelope steak and stone soup for a while.

[remote lintel]

when youre leveling you only use food for the exp buff

[agile night]

the bonus cp from the stone soup can be nice

[remote lintel]

oh you mean crafting

nvm

[obsidian patio]

If you have access to kugane you can buy Tempura Platter

I think ishgard markets also have a better CP food than stone soup

[agile night]

I should probably finish up post HW quests and make some progress there then

I have tended to focus more on crafting, gathering after getting to the firmament

[cold steppe]

to make sure about positionals cuz im an idiot

rear = behind flank = sides

[obsidian patio]

That’s correct

[agile night]

that's how I understand it but to clear up something I've been wondering about, what differentiates sides from front?

[faint flare]

!faq positional

[zinc orbit]

Visual Example of Positionals

[cold steppe]

my poor brain will explode when trying to keep up rotation while also trying to focus where to position for this but yeah, at least i realized i have a positional attack during heavensward, at least not later. LOL Thanks.

[faint flare]

That

[surreal geyser]

Random question, anyone know with ARR Relics, what the fastest method for light grinding is these days?

[obsidian patio]

There’s no clear indication for when the sides become the font, but I think through testing each positional is about 90 degrees

[obsidian patio]

Tam Tara normal or Ifrit normal

[cold steppe]

which one is which is enough for me, cuz honestly, i usually thought flank is a behind tbh...

[sturdy cloud]

Hello, Does anybody play the instruments on Final Fantasy XIV with a keystation ? All the presets for my MIDI Keyboard on Bome's MIDI translator seems to not work :(

[manic flare]

regarding positionals, so certain dragoon moves in their tooltips say it does more damage from certain position, but should i just assume that all dragoon moves deal more damage from rear/flank than front?

or only the moves that tooltip mention?

[faint flare]

No

Only when tooltips say

[cold steppe]

only the ones that tooltip

[manic flare]

what about samurai

[faint flare]

Same with Samurai

Samurai positionals give them extra Kenki

Which is indirect potency

[twilit karma]

Only monk has all of its GCDs as positionals. The other melee dps it only applies to certain skills

[faint flare]

As more kenki = more usage of kenki skills

[twilit karma]

DRG has 3 (was 4), SAM has 2, and NIN has 3

[manic flare]

which barding is this?

[jade quartz]

Not a barding

That is the ceremony chocobo

[obsidian patio]

You get it from a gold or platinum eternal bonding ceremony

Primal - Exodus

[jade quartz]

!status exodus

Information

Exodus is currently Online
This server is currently: Preferred

If your friend waits until a less busy time of day they should be able to create a character

Because of

[oblique trellis]

[jade quartz]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[oblique trellis]

ah

[rigid dust]

thaaaat makes a lot more sense!! thank you!! c:

[jade quartz]

Ah, star rank mobs. They have 30min respawn timers and drop good lost fragments

[remote lintel]

damn i should have attacked it

[jade quartz]

They’re tough though

[obsidian patio]

They require a full party at the bare minimum

...or being lucky with Lost Death

[jade quartz]

They can be soloed with judicious use of lost actions

But it’s not really worth the trouble

[little swift]

If you have lost death like Wynne mentioned you can sleep/repose it and they try to lost death it. If it fails just run away and try again later

[remote lintel]

oh there were other people attacking it but i didnt

[leaden ginkgo]

whats the best alch guide from 50-80?

i found one that was great for 1-50... but at 50 it just lists leve's... doesnt say which are best

[agile night]

Given I've done the wrong trial before for quests, right now I'm in post HW, quest tasking me with doing The Navel (Hard), only version of it I can find is lv50. is that what I want?

[spare plinth]

apparently before shb sch had abilities from summoner like miasma. how come yoshi p removed them

[leaden ginkgo]

sounds right nomeru

you can just click on the main quest thing in the top left and it will tell you

or on the quest description

[lone spruce]

[spare plinth]

same thing with the role actions?

[faint flare]

When cross class was a thing

[leaden ginkgo]

ohhh. when i tried sch at 40 i was like this is basically smn with like 2 more heals

[spare plinth]

i heard in sb there was this role action thing where i think you can cross class stuff like pick lucid dreaming, cleric stance, protect

[leaden ginkgo]

makes sense they'd divide more later

[spare plinth]

i guess it was to differentiate sum and sch

[faint flare]

Stormblood cross role was like how it is now, except there was a few more skills and yoy could only take 5

But you pretty much always took the same 3-4 skills

With the last one flexing if you need knockback immunity or not

[remote lintel]

tonberry and kujata are the english speaking worlds on jp

[proud veldt]

eyyy thank you

[rigid narwhal]

you'll only be able to join tonberry from 5am melbourne time til like 10am melbourne time

so you'll probs have to go kujata

[proud veldt]

is that cause its so popular?

[rigid narwhal]

pr much

most populous jp server by a mile

[remote lintel]

the worlds close down character creation if theres too many people online

[proud veldt]

ahhh

kujata it is

[remote lintel]

but if you wait for off hours it should be fine

[rigid narwhal]

kujata is still a really good server tho

so dont stress it

[patent citrus]

yeah both are fine

[proud veldt]

i didnt even have to choose the server itself just had to choose the element category

i think thats what it was called

[remote lintel]

data center

[rigid narwhal]

you choose server at the end of creating your character

[proud veldt]

ohhh got it cheers

[remote lintel]

pick elemental for data center

thats where tonberry and kujata are

[patent citrus]

Kujata is preferred right now as well I think

so would recommend rolling on Kujata

[rigid narwhal]

kujata is standard

[versed aspen]

Whats the best server for aussies? D;

[patent citrus]

Kujata/Tonberry

[versed aspen]

thanks!

[weak escarp]

Pog 3 more lvls b4 I get my chocoboco

[patent citrus]

Some AUS found better ping in NA data centers

so you can check your ping first

[versed aspen]

how do i check my ping?

[patent citrus]

!ping 124.150.157.158 -t

that's for JP

[rigid narwhal]

if you're playing in australian active hours, ie after 5pm, you don't want to play on na.

trust me

[patent citrus]

oh right, true that

your active hours is more important

[versed aspen]

Yeahh i'd probs be playing anywhere from 8am to 1am

[rigid narwhal]

choose jp

8am-3pm would be the hours na has any activity for you

[proud veldt]

eyyy youre like me

[patent citrus]

i read that 8 am - 1 pm 😂

[rigid narwhal]

even then it'd be kinda eh

[patent citrus]

sorry

[leaden ginkgo]

what hapens if i buy a 3rd retainer for 30 days and dont buy it again. it keeps the items? or they go?

[versed aspen]

okey dokey! so still kujata for me?

[rigid narwhal]

mmmmhm!

[versed aspen]

thank you guys~

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo the items will remain in your retainer but you wont be able to access them

[leaden ginkgo]

gotcha, thanks

[elfin grove]

do you still have to do that Eureka BS to get the approved grade 3 stuff now

[jade quartz]

There was never any Eureka component?

You gather them in the diadem and get them approved at the NPC

Or buy from market board

[elfin grove]

diadem is just eureka for crafters

[jade quartz]

It’s just a gathering map like any other really

[elfin grove]

and you gotta bazooka mobs and all that annoying crap

[jade quartz]

Alright then

what loot from dragonskin maps is still valuable?

[crimson wind]

If I use Hallowed on e10s second tb, will it be up for the last?

[silver ruin]

idk the exact timing of the fight too well but im thinkin no

no i was wrong

yea it should be up again

roughly 7 min between it and irc hallowed is like 5min cd

you'd be fine

@crimson wind

[crimson wind]

Hallowed is an 8 min cd btw

[silver ruin]

oh

2nd one happens roughly 2 minutes

[crimson wind]

But yeah it'll be up

[silver ruin]

last one is roughly 10

so yea

[crimson wind]

I might have to eat first hit though

Guys. Is there a way to improve ping on ps4?

[raw solstice]

hallowed is 7m, not 8m

[thorn totem]

Lol

[crimson wind]

oh

damn might need to do some more class research

[raw solstice]

not really much you can do, other than if you're on wifi you should try to use a wired connection

but in general, ping will mostly just be a factor of distance between you and the data center you're connecting to (and secondarily, the routing that might be used as well). And on console you can't really use a vpn to try to improve routing like you could potentially do on pc

[crimson wind]

also a wired connection would be pretty good

[versed aspen]

how long does maint normally last?

[crimson wind]

but if you don't have access to that...best answer is basically just get better internet

[twilit arch]

this one will be for 6hrs

can potentially end early

[versed aspen]

Ahh okay

[reef oriole]

Okie :(

Will using a dns have any difference?

DNS

[leaden ginkgo]

whats the difference between repair and condition?

I know that i can fix cond to 100 via npc market but apparently there's this thing called repair too??

[remote lintel]

thats repairing

[reef oriole]

Yea i guess its the holiday season. Connection's been shitty

[crimson wind]

tell me about it

[leaden ginkgo]

wait so I just have to use gil only to fix them?

[reef oriole]

I was using nin and everytiem i use katon/raiton my char always have a fuma shuriken animation first

It was so weird

[remote lintel]

you use gil to repair yes

[leaden ginkgo]

there's this pyramid thing too

I don't have to use that??

[remote lintel]

what pyramid thing

[leaden ginkgo]

I read somewhere about fully repairing.smth which made me kinda confused

theres also this thing called disciple of hand which I do not know

[slate arrow]

You mean overrepairs?

[remote lintel]

those are crafters

if you have a crafter you can repair gear yourself

and it can go over 100% durability

[slate arrow]

Crafters can repair their own gear given you have the relevant crafter at the item's level - 10

[leaden ginkgo]

oh

do i do that only for long intensive content

[slate arrow]

You can ignore it for the most part

You only need a single combat job to do all of the combat content

[leaden ginkgo]

oh ok

[fading marten]

Is there a way to have one armor equipped but have your character model show another one?

[twilit arch]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[fading marten]

Thank you!

Can I glamor something into being invisible? As in, look like I'm not wearing any armor at all?

[twilit arch]

there's invisible glamour pieces yes, called "emperor's new x"

[gilded brook]

As someone who is still in early game (LVL 25 LNC), should the only thing I be focusing on be the MSQ?

[fading marten]

What a beautiful world to live in

[twilit arch]

you can buy them from a vendor in vesper bay, western thanalan or mor dhona, once you've done the quest "absolutely glamourous" which requires a lvl 15 crafter (that is not cul)

[twilit arch]

you should also being doing your class/job quests, they are indicated below the msq tracker whenever you have one available, and its also strongly recommended to do as they unlock things. though you can ignore the ones called "so you want to be x" (class unlocks) or "leves of x" (levemete unlock) but feel free to do them if you want

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named leves exists, Kupo!

[gilded brook]

What are leves?

[gritty oracle]

I never got why cul could literally cook engines, printing supplies or airship linings into existence, but glam prisms are too tall an order

[twilit arch]

leves are basically repeatable quests that you can do, though they're not recommended for combat jobs as they're pretty meh experience

they're much better for crafting/gathering classes

[gritty oracle]

Leves are only good for leveling crafters fast, zetas and cookie money

[gilded brook]

Oh okay, gotcha. Thanks!

[obsidian hornet]

Are there any patch notes or it's just maintenance and nothing is being changed or added?

[twilit arch]

possibly be a lodestone post with what was changed

but this is a hotfix maint so

very unlikely anything is being added, just issues being fixed

Does Kozakura disappear like all the crafting NPC do once you finish the quests?

[oblique yew]

is it possible to upgrade gear?
i completed my lvl 70 samurai job quest and got this cool looking gear but its stats are garbage for a lvl70 gear

[hot eagle]

yes but u would need to do eureka if u want a lil bit better dyeable version, but faster to buy ilvl400 gear with poetics after u finished base stormblood in rhalgrs reach

[oblique yew]

kinda wished they changed the system, so that we could buy whatever gear we wanted whenever we wanted

since the duties will be level synced either way

holy shit. i just checked and i have to do 67 more quests before i can unlock the vendors

[timid geyser]

If you still have 67 quests to do you won't need higher ilv gear lmao

You'll only really need higher ilv when you start ShB and even there, story gives you gear

That means you're like

at half of the expan?

[oblique yew]

i have just landed at yanxia

[gritty oracle]

That's like 6...4?

[oblique yew]

yup

[timid geyser]

At that time I was still at 270 ilv

[oblique yew]

even i am at ilvl 270 i think with the shire gear

[timid geyser]

At the end of the expansion you usually are at 290ilv

[oblique yew]

wtf. that's it? i thought it would be around 400

[timid geyser]

Post stormblood gears you up a bit

[timid geyser]

400 is what you had when you were doing high end content

[full dirge]

Best gear post HW is 270, best gear post SB is 400

[oblique yew]

isnt this around end of ShB? with ilvl 500?

[timid geyser]

High end content for SB

[oblique yew]

oh

ok

[jade quartz]

Best post ShB gear is 530

[timid geyser]

Not getting any higher?

[jade quartz]

No

We’re in the last tier

[timid geyser]

Ah I see

[jade quartz]

530 gear/535 savage weapon

[timid geyser]

So that nice Dark Fantasy gear will be the poetics gear when the next expan drops?

Neat

[jade quartz]

Yep

[amber jewel]

can i pm someone here i have a few questions

[marble drift]

why not just ask here?

[amber jewel]

well

i got tired of the low exp MSQ that come after ARR 2.0 and wanted to get to HW ..........so with about 20 of those MSQ left i bought the story skip

[timid geyser]

You missed some HW setting up there

[marble drift]

yeah you were so close to a big story point

[amber jewel]

and i got killed on one of the early HW msq but most of my accesories are lv110 or 115 and i only have 2 piece of 130 gear from tombs and a 125 weapon am i undergeared ?

[timid geyser]

Those 20 quests are basically where it gets good

[marble drift]

no you're fine

[timid geyser]

No your ilv is fine

[amber jewel]

well

[timid geyser]

I did the first dungeon with 115 ilv

[amber jewel]

i did get killed on that MSQ when i was still in ilv90 AF 2 set

i think my main issue is i didnt know to use my chocobo right away

so its only rank 2 it dont have cure yet

[timid geyser]

🤔

[jade quartz]

You bought the story skip at the worst point imaginable.

[timid geyser]

^

[jade quartz]

Incredibly so

[amber jewel]

why ?

[timid geyser]

Never used my chocobo in msq

[jade quartz]

Holy crap

[timid geyser]

Always forget he exists

[jade quartz]

But what’s done is done

[timid geyser]

Well because you only had 20 quests left

You basically wasted money

[amber jewel]

what did i miss out on besides story ?

[jade quartz]

Story.

[amber jewel]

it was on sale for $11 lol

[opaque wyvern]

so uhh, when that server coming back up?

[timid geyser]

!maint

[jade quartz]

Plus you paid to skip comparatively less

[timid geyser]

:(

[jade quartz]

But the end of ARR has a huge payoff

Basically a movie

[timid geyser]

Those 20 quests is where the game gets good

[jade quartz]

You shot both feet off

With a shotgun

[amber jewel]

i just want to know if i missed out on any good accessories or gear ?

[timid geyser]

It's amazing, all this pain I had to go through was worth it

[jade quartz]

Anyway you’re not that under geared

[timid geyser]

You're not undergeared at all

As I said

I did the first dungeon with 115 ilv

[amber jewel]

was i undergeared when i attempted it in the lv90 ilvl ?

[timid geyser]

[jade quartz]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[timid geyser]

You get an entire set of ilv 115 stuff

Also
To make sure

[jade quartz]

I can’t fully articulate what a mistake it was to buy the skip 😔

[timid geyser]

Ironworks rings and all were considered unique before, right?

[jade quartz]

Yes but no longer

[amber jewel]

i only skipped cause i wanted to hurry up and get to unlock drk

[timid geyser]

Yeah I noticed when I bought my scaeva right side

[timid geyser]

Jokes on you, you'll have to get the class from 30 to 50 in order to do msq as it

[jade quartz]

You would have got there in a day, and it would have been the best story stuff you’d encountered so far by a long shot. Plus you would be better geared and not having these basic problems

[timid geyser]

Well what is done is done lol

Just don't do the same mistake again

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[amber jewel]

lol i can just do dungeons to get from 30 to 50

[timid geyser]

Beginners should not buy skips

Did you play a tank before?

[amber jewel]

i was a marauder on a diff charector years ago

[timid geyser]

Then please take time to re-learn tanking or your teams will hate you lol

[amber jewel]

maybe i'll do sam next since that unlocks at lv50

does it come with any gear when u unlock it or just the job ?

[jade quartz]

115 left side gear

[timid geyser]

It comes with a ilv 115 left side

[amber jewel]

is there a way for me to show u my charector profile ?

[amber jewel]

[jade quartz]

Link your lodestone to your discord with !iam Excalibur Dark Shadowz

[timid geyser]

If you only have 110, 115 and 135 stuff it shouldn't be this low

[dry jolt]

lol, seeing people talk about level skips....i used one on an alt....have almost no aetherytes unlocked...and no mount unlock...sad level 70 running everwhere

[timid geyser]

So the armor we see is the one you're wearing right?

Not a glam

[amber jewel]

yes

[timid geyser]

Story**

[timid geyser]

Then change it

[dry jolt]

working on it

[timid geyser]

Your left side is awful

[little swift]

this is his character if you need more info

[amber jewel]

i dont have enough poetics to get the rest of the 130 set yet

[timid geyser]

Ironworks good

[jade quartz]

You should have gotten weapon first

[little swift]

109 is sufficient going through post ARR

[jade quartz]

But otherwise

You should be fine

[little swift]

its not awful

[timid geyser]

If you didn't skip you'd have an entire 115 left side

[little swift]

msq gear is fine

[jade quartz]

He’s at the start of hw

[little swift]

oh thats not great

[timid geyser]

He skipped post ARR lol

[amber jewel]

i can get a weapon with my silver feathers

[timid geyser]

Get it

[amber jewel]

then i have 5 more

[timid geyser]

Do you have 10 feather?

[amber jewel]

ya

[timid geyser]

Get the armor with the 5 other

[amber jewel]

they dont have hands legs or feet for options

unless i went to the wrong npc

[timid geyser]

You get the pants and top for 5 feathers if my memory is correct

Who cares, that's 2 pieces you can get without spending poetics

[amber jewel]

i didnt know that lol

so i got those first with poetics

[timid geyser]

Use your feathers to increase your ilv

[amber jewel]

how

[timid geyser]

Get the weapon and armor from feathers lol

[amber jewel]

i already have the 2 armors

i can get the weapon

[timid geyser]

Then why is it not equipped

[amber jewel]

i have the head and body

[jade quartz]

Legs.

[timid geyser]

Wait

There's something weird going on my side rn

[jade quartz]

Feathers give legs

[timid geyser]

Then I click and

Didn't notice that before

[amber jewel]

i am 99% sure feathers dont give legs or i would of got them

[timid geyser]

Anyway I'm tired and it's 7:20am

Bye bye

[amber jewel]

its midnight here 😛

[jade quartz]

Feathers give legs

And they do not give the helmet

[fleet moat]

if I buy a mount from the online store, and it says account wide. That means I can use it on all my characters plus new ones if I make another one later right?

[amber jewel]

mounts are expensive

[hazy shadow]

Yes

They're accessible to all

[fleet moat]

alright cool, so Is it just like I get a chocobo mount, then equip the skin onto it or smth?

cause I wanna buy this mount from the store

[dry jolt]

It's not a skin, it's a separate mount

but keep in mind....you still can't ride them until you do the quest in the MSQ that unlocks your battle chicken

[fleet moat]

so I buy it, then when I get into game I can just equip it straight away? or do I need to buy again in game too

oh alright

is that quest far in?

[dry jolt]

it's like level 20

[fleet moat]

oh ok not too bad

[ripe lava]

hey does the starting class matter for characters?

[timid geyser]

Join a grand company, do the chocobo side quest and poof mount

[ripe lava]

(first time playing Ff14)

[hazy shadow]

You can get the item from mog mail and unlock it from your inventory. It'll go into your mounts list which you can favorite for mount roulette or just have an icon of it "if you choose

[honest anvil]

@ripe lava no

[timid geyser]

Basically your starting town depends on your first class

[dry jolt]

It matters and doesn't matter

[ripe lava]

oh wait we are in maintenance mode never mind, cant play 🙂

[timid geyser]

That's the only think it affects

[fleet moat]

oh okay cheers

[timid geyser]

Thing

[stable remnant]

it's mentioned in the story a total of like, once

[timid geyser]

I need to sleep lol

[hazy shadow]

Ye. Also keep in mind

[ripe lava]

what class do you guys recommend for the first character?

[hazy shadow]

You do have to buy mounts to use them.

[ripe lava]

or does it not matter

[stable remnant]

so if you have lore ideas for your character and that'd bother you then keep that in mind, otherwise it doesn't matter

[timid geyser]

And of course your class determines your role

[dry jolt]

at level 10 you can pick another class...but keep in mind it starts at level 1 and you will have to level it up before you can pick up the MSQ again

[hazy shadow]

You get free mounts in game.

[timid geyser]

Since each class has a role

Well

Each class is in one of the 3 roles

Brain not functional rn

I shouldn't answer questions lol

[hazy shadow]

In arr regions you have access to flying upon unlocking mounts but later regions you need to manually unlock.

[timid geyser]

No

You need to finish msq to fly

[hazy shadow]

Oh really? I thought they made it at level 20

[dry jolt]

I was happy to find the mount I really wanted was relatively easy to get for me...

[twilit arch]

you need to complete the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon" to fly in ARR zones

[dry jolt]

https://aywren.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/ffxiv_06072019_212106_255.png?w=840

[hazy shadow]

I finished arr before that patch came out

[dry jolt]

(not my character)

[hazy shadow]

Mbmb

[timid geyser]

Is that the conjurer mount?

[twilit arch]

no

that's the pegasus mount, which you can get from restorations crips

[dry jolt]

Pegasus, from Ishgard restoration

[timid geyser]

I wanna level conjurer to 30 just to get a free mount

Oh ok

[twilit arch]

conjurer mount is the unicorn

[timid geyser]

I only have the Dhalmel from ishgard

[hazy shadow]

I have a whm but didn't get the mount. >|

Wth game

[twilit arch]

its a quest in the conjurer's guild

[hazy shadow]

Wonder if I can do it still

[twilit arch]

you can

[timid geyser]

And you have to be a conjurer

[twilit arch]

just remove the whm soul stone

and you can pick up teh quest

[timid geyser]

So un equip your soul stone

[hazy shadow]

Oooh ez

[timid geyser]

I'm too slow

[hazy shadow]

Okok. Good to know.

[left moth]

(Tried to make a message about tank/healer/dps but mobile phones suck to type on)

[amber jewel]

do we ever get an ilvl job accessory that replaces the lv30 one ??

[timid geyser]

No

It's the soulstone

It doesn't affect your perfs

Never un equip it

Unless you're a whm who forgot their unicorn

[amber jewel]

i remember the first time i played this game u had to lvl 2 classes to get an advanced job or am i thinkin wrong ?

[hazy shadow]

No longer necessary

[left moth]

Soulstone unlocks advanced/job skills and is basically required for all content in later to post arr

[amber jewel]

soooo

[left moth]

Cross class died with stormblood, and died harded with shadowbringers (in crafting and gathering)

[timid geyser]

Yes

[amber jewel]

whats the fastest way to lvl new jobs that are lv1 if we already did the msq

[timid geyser]

It was also like that when I played

In legacy XIV

[hazy shadow]

Dungeons

[leaden ginkgo]

whats samurais rotations after lvl 70 opener

[timid geyser]

Hunting Logs from 1 to 15

Then dungeons

[dry jolt]

yeah, hunting log won't get you there without preferred world status.....I know from recent experience

[amber jewel]

are hunt logs job specific ?

[timid geyser]

Yes

[dry jolt]

yes

[left moth]

If tank or healer, challenge/hunt log and dungeon spam with randoms or gc squad. If dps a coin flip of challenge/hunt to 20 ish then potd or dungeon depending on queue time

[timid geyser]

You have a hunting log for each level 1 job

[dry jolt]

GC squad needs to be level 20 something to do command missions

[timid geyser]

Never forget that Dungeons > potd tho

[amber jewel]

what are fates and levee's good for are they decent exp or they suck ?
