remote lintel
#

potd if youre a dps

vast torrent
#

is that really faster?

#

It feels like a slog for very little

whole wasp
#

potd is slower than dungeons

remote lintel
#

you just grind floor 51-60 over and over

whole wasp
#

but potd queue time might be faster than dungeon queue time

remote lintel
#

they said other than dungeons

whole wasp
vast torrent
#

p a i n

#

the class quest could have atleast given me some gear beyond chest and pants

worthy basin
#

msq praet

#

long run and gives a lot of exp

hasty musk
#

you need to be 50 for prae don't you

worthy basin
#

oh i forgot about that, then frontline dr (especially when you win) and leveling dungeon dr. I really don't like potd because of longer queue times lol

Hey im a new player but all the extra xp servers are full in NA should i join non xp bonus servers ?

twilit arch
#

its not the end of the world to not join a preferred server, but that said if you're willing can wait like an hour or two

#

most should be open

desert ravine
#

what materia 8 sells like hot cakes right now? need some quick buck to buy skins

marble drift
#

its all sever based

slate arrow
#

crafter and gatherer materia is pretty safe, as well as crit materia

crimson wind
#

If I can beat savage can I beat ultimate

twilit arch
#

not necessarily

crimson wind
#

not including time restrictions

twilit arch
#

ultimate requires a bit of a different mindset

jade quartz
#

If you apply yourself uwucarby

twilit arch
#

for one, you really want to have a static for ultimates because pugging while isn't impossible

#

is very unlikely

#

and two, generally requires more endurance than savage does

crimson wind
#

I've no doubt I can find a static for ultimate

hazy shadow
#

I am trying to find an old edens gate savage kill on fflogs that I parsed and uploaded but I have no idea how to navigate the site. Halp please.

crimson wind
#

and I have the endurance, that I'm sure of

jade quartz
#

Ultimate is more difficult in terms of mechanics and incoming damage, and has the endurance tax of getting through a single 15–20 minute fight with no checkpoints

#

But yeah

#

Go for it man

crimson wind
#

all I needed to hear

#

just gotta get savage out of the way

twilit arch
#

on your character's FFLogs page, there's a drop down menu at the top for each content section

hazy shadow
#

this is all I see.

twilit arch
#

oh uh

#

atleast this is how i look at any old logs that are uploaded with me in it

#

but should be under reports, no?

hazy shadow
#

oops

#

one second

#

I think I kept it unlisted.

twilit arch
#

welp, i'm unfortunately unsure of how to go about finding em cos i dont really use fflogs much myself :c so someone smarter than me will hopefully be able to help

hazy shadow
#

Hopefully. It's not a huge deal, I just wanted something to look at comparison wise.

earnest echo
#

Question. We have an upcoming patch in a bit?

crimson wind
#

5.41 should be soon ish

twilit arch
#

yeah

earnest echo
#

Kinda sitting here waiting for a pref server to open up, and I'm not certain if it'd be in a few hours or not. If so, then they usually stay locked

hazy shadow
#

I found it via the link I posted way back when

#

perfect

crimson wind
#

Resourceful

twilit arch
#

character creation locks for preferred/standard worlds are based on how many characters are currently online

#

so yeah, NA servers should be opening up soon ish as more people go to bed

earnest echo
#

Couldn't quite confirm it, but I don't think I've ever had much luck with a patch and pref server coping when near the time. I'll wait it out though

twilit arch
#

keep in mind you're assured 90days with the road to 70 buff

#

so even if the next patch changes the server's status you'll still have road to 70 for awhile if you make it now

earnest echo
#

After patches, I think they change around to other servers. Definitely taking advantage of that buff though, regardless.

#

Ah, Lamia's open. So I guess they will have periods of being up. My point is disproven :p anyway, I'll leave space for the next people

twilit arch
#

yes....

#

as i said

#

character creation lock is based on how many people are currently logged in

crimson wind
#

You say that yet sarg was locked at 6 am

twilit arch
#

The only time the character creation lock doesn't lift is if the server's status is Congested

#

which means it locked to both character creation and world transfer

leaden ginkgo
#

Does the Callback campaign mail expire, as in, specifically the email itself? Could i hold onto it for a few days?

crimson wind
#

Isn't transferring to a pref server free

earnest echo
#

I think that's just new ones

twilit arch
#

if its from a congested server

earnest echo
#

New servers get 1 mil gil bonuses at level 30 at least once too, I believe

twilit arch
#

there's no new servers

earnest echo
#

I know :V

#

There was some in EU I tested with back then though. Was kind of neat to get more benefits there

#

I think it was Spriggan/Twintania

twilit arch
#

that was like a year ago

earnest echo
#

paissaowo yes

potent shale
#

Is it me or is Hades EX super easy now?

#

Like the 1st to 3rd Phase is super easy

#

but then final phase hits

#

Can someone help me how do you survive the Final Phase?

#

ohhh

#

nvm

#

I got the fight done

crimson wind
#

ofc it's easy now

#

we have a what...60 ilvl advantage now?

outer plank
#

do ex still have max ilv syncs?

marble drift
#

not to my knowledge

twilit arch
#

hades ex doesn't have an ilvl sync

#

and no, you can't unsync current expansion content

patent citrus
#

no shb stuff has ilvl sync hehe expect that lv 79 trial

#

or maybe ultimate/dungeon

warm socket
#

BLue mage bomb toss . I get the circle on the ground but I dont understand how to get the spell tp work. I have the dumb

Press l2 or mouse1 by default to place targeted spells

how do i use the imperial smoke signal thing?

slate arrow
#

@languid elbow if you can't use it out right, target the ground sparkles and then use it

leaden ginkgo
#

what to spend poetics on when i have all the gear for main and alt?

slate arrow
#

!faq Poetics

zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
#

is there an allagan for DoL or Doh

slate arrow
#

not really since those use Scrips

leaden ginkgo
#

what are scrips

slate arrow
#

dol/doh tomestones, basically

plain python
#

can I glam a one-hand wand on a two-hand cane for WHM? 😮

slate arrow
#

yes, but you can't glam a wand + a shield on a two hand

leaden ginkgo
#

thank you

plain python
#

battle stance/victory emote still treats your wand like a cane?

slate arrow
#

always

#

two hand stance has always been a 1.0 thing

#

It'll likely never come back unless they get to do a full engine overhaul

neon trellis
#

For my first and primary job, is Augmented Ironworks Magitek Gear the best first upgrade? I have 1200 of the currency (Tombstones?)

slate arrow
#

it's the best stuff at level 50 yes

#

It'll carry you all the way through 2.5 and most of 3.0

plain python
#

best lv50 stuff. If you don't play unique-gear job like Dragon and Ninja, the gear can be shared to some other classes too (like Monk and Sam)

neon trellis
#

And should I try to get the whole set? Or will the quest fill out other armor pieces? My job armor set seems decent

twilit arch
#

you don't really need to go out of your way to get a whole set

#

weapon, chest, pants are more than enough since the msq will provide you gear

slate arrow
#

Job quests will give you a decent set of ilvl90 left side gear so focus on the weapon and accessories

steep heron
#

Prioritize Weapon and large body like Chest and Legs

neon trellis
#

Cool. I didn't realize one downside of Arcanist was that I had to buy the weapons twice, if I wanted to pursue scholar. I haven't practiced it at all, however, yet

slate arrow
#

you can safely ignore the other job if you don't want

#

If you want to gear both, focus on Scholar since you'll probably be taking that into Duty Finder content

neon trellis
#

I'd like to learn to heal, and the ability to do both was enticing for my first job

plain python
#

you can just either play scholar or sum. Don't need to play both of them at the same time.

neon trellis
#

Yeah, it'd be nice to get into duties faster

slate arrow
#

Then yeah, gear up Scholar first and just use the MSQ goodies for summoner, or spare tomestones from Roulettes

plain python
#

if you only desire to gear two classes and do MSQ routtle in daily basis, you have all tome in the world to gear both classes

neon trellis
#

Yeah, I'm feeling like at this point, summoner, scholar, and maybe one tank class down the line would give me a view of the different roles.

#

tank job

plain python
#

or you can tome-gear scholar, and MSQ/quest job gear sum, or the opposite, up to you 😮

slate arrow
#

A poorly geared DPS can still do stuff assuming you're over the ilvl limit, a poorly geared healer will be crying from their lack of mana, assuming the tank isn't already dead

#

The Heavensward stat curve is fucking harsh from 130 to 150

#

It's like a good 30-40% increase last time I checked

neon trellis
#

Yeah, I've been taking gear for a future tank, but am starting to realize that the gear for summoner and scholar are different enough (especially in regards to focus stats)

#

Int vs mind, right?

slate arrow
#

don't worry about the main stat too much after ARR

#

Since the gear gets role locked in HW

#

But yeah Healers want Mind

neon trellis
#

OK, one last question. So, when you level sync, does it just scale down everything proportionally? So really good gear is still good, just in proportion to the temporary level?

slate arrow
#

for the most part yeah

neon trellis
#

That and missing actions

slate arrow
#

So a piece with maximum crit will have max crit at that level

#

The main stats like vitality and strength and etc are always capped out on most pieces of gear so you can just directly tie that to item level for the most part

#

(unless you're using NQ crafted gear but the MSQ almost always rewards High Quality and/or Blue Rarity gear)

#

(both of which should be maxed out, main stat wise at the item level.)

kind eagle
#

can i refund

#

i bought wrong stuff LOl

twilit arch
#

nope

slate arrow
#

no

kind eagle
#

RIPP

slate arrow
#

I did the same mistake as well once

#

It happens.

kind eagle
#

omg

#

i want to cry

#

the boot is my even my bis

gritty oracle
#

I would discard it and write support. I read a post on Reddit once that someone did this and support sent them a coffer. That was savage gear tho, not tome.

kind eagle
#

Helpful people ;-;;

neon trellis
#

Catching up on job quests., and I'm wearing a mortarboard now. I guess that makes sense consider the class is called scholar. I am unreasonably excited about my new head gear.

#

🙂

#

Thanks again for feedback and help in this channel

potent lava
#

by default, is there any other button that brings up chat aside from Enter? I keep getting locked in it during combat but im not sure what im pressing

leaden ginkgo
#

which materia effect should i priotize when choosing my reward for doing the MSQ? i am maining summoner

jaunty crow
#

i need some assistance

analog gate
jaunty crow
#

after only playing for around 2 weeks i was really starting to get the hang of things, now that i took a few months break i feel like i might aswell start over since i feel like i have no idea what i'm doing...

analog gate
jaunty crow
#

i knew my way around but now i'm struggling with lodestones, forgot how to fight (use the abilities), forgot how to quickly change classes, forgot how far along i'm currently in my questline and moving forward is very confusing, no idea what to do with anything in my inventory

#

tl:dr everything

marble drift
#

This is definately the wrong channel

jaunty crow
#

and yes, definitely forgot the story which i was really into

hasty musk
#

I have no idea where you'd want to put this, but yeah, not here

analog gate
#

i personally would recommend starting over tbh
had a similar situation when i began playing and started over to refresh my memory

opaque kayak
#

So guys i reached a point where they ask me to equip lvl 5 gear . . I bought some and im out of gil now ~.~ any way to get gear other than shops

jaunty crow
#

i think so too, just needed that extra push

#

cheers

opaque kayak
#

Im lvl 9 and cant progress story quests

analog gate
#

play some sidequests to get a bit of gil, iirc it's really early in the game

jaunty crow
#

so should i just delete my class or just go ahead and make a new one and come back to it?

hasty musk
#

Iirc that quest is basically just asking you to put on a helmet

opaque kayak
#

Nope they ask me to put lvl 5 gear

#

The beginner gear says lvl 1

hasty musk
#

Have you done your job quest

#

For level 5

opaque kayak
#

Yeah

little swift
#

do you lv5 job quest for the chest piece

opaque kayak
#

The next one is at lvl 10

#

Yes now im only left with waist and legs armor

scarlet sandal
#

So probably very stupid Noob question but how is Trick attack supposed to work I always tried doing it with bosses and it just dissipates whenever I get close

little swift
#

there are some sidequests at the adventurers guild of your city that gives some pieces

analog gate
zinc orbitBOT
#
**Suiton** : lvl 45 NIN (1.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals water damage with a potency of 600.
Additional Effect: Grants Suiton
Duration: 20s
Suiton Effect: Allows execution of actions which require the effect of Hidden, without being under that effect
Mudra Combination: Ten→Chi→Jin or Chi→Ten→Jin
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

scarlet sandal
#

I mean I meant hide using hide as trick with trick attack

opaque kayak
#

Okay thanks guys..

little swift
jaunty crow
scarlet sandal
#

I see people always wait for me until I use hide at the start of a boss so I assume it's necessary

little swift
#

no reason to delete your character

#

can play every thing on one job

scarlet sandal
#

So the tooltip says I probably should read these things

#

Okay though I get it now though since it's not to use trick attack on the boss using the hide though I feel like I was just messing something obvious up with that

little swift
#

it doesn't really serve a practical combat use outside of opener shenanigans

jaunty crow
#

any recommended races or do they have no bearing? forgot that too

scarlet sandal
#

Just whatever you think looks cool

little swift
#

the difference in stats are so miniscule it literally won't make a difference

jaunty crow
#

thanks guys

south roost
#

How do you know when houses go up for sale? Do you just stumble upon them or?

scarlet sandal
#

yup

jaunty crow
#

how long roughly to earn enough to afford one?

south roost
little swift
#

but a small costs at minimum 3.5mil

#

and a large can go for as much as 50mil

jaunty crow
#

oh wow

patent citrus
#

almost reached lv 10 chocobo

#

what should i do next with him

#

hoping i could level the dps tree as ewll

wintry chasm
#

You can but you'll need to feed him thavnairian onions in a chocobo stable to increase his level cap

#

(max level 20)

gritty oracle
#

When the choco reaches level 10, you either stable it and feed it a thav onion, or summon it and just use the item. It will increase its level cap to 11. You have to do it every level. There's two quests that offer thav onions, you can buy it on the MB or garden for it, and some FCs offer it to their members.

#

Also I recommend maxing out the healer tree first, especially if you run map or fate parties.

patent citrus
#

yeh it's healer 10

gritty oracle
#

yeah tank tree is trash, leave it for last

#

Also, how does server transfer work with a house owned? I assume the house will be relinquished automatically, but what will happen to the contents? I have a house with over 100 items in it. And what will happen to my retainers?

twilit arch
#

you cant transfer if you have a house

jaunty crow
#

how about the starting world? any significance or

#

nvm ill go witj the one with an exp bonus lol

gritty oracle
#

!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)
gritty oracle
#

oh ty Kael! But what will happen to my retainers?

jaunty crow
#

thanks

twilit arch
#

nothing, they'll be as they are

gritty oracle
#

oh nice

twilit arch
#

might need to change their names

#

but thats pretty much it

coral elk
#

So I can finally use Holy in dungeons now (the dzamael). How often should I use it? Or rather, how should I balance it between attacking and healing from a distance?

#

Will using it mess up the tank’s aggro?

gritty oracle
#

Heal when the tank is 2 gcds away from dying.

coral elk
#

D:

#

So rather than trying to keep them topped off/halfway?

twilit arch
#

you shouldnt be trying to keep the tank at 100% hp

gritty oracle
#

Any decent tank would have tank stance on and generate enough aggro that there is no way they could break away from them. Enmity generation has been simplified greatly in ShB and should never be an issue anymore.

coral elk
#

Oh

twilit arch
#

you should also think of holy as a defensive cd of sorts

#

the fact that you can stun mobs with it means the tank will be taking no dmg for a several seconds

gritty oracle
#

I prefer to keep the tank around 80% so I don't overheal, but the tank is never in danger of dying. Keep a powerufl ogcd (Lustrate/excog, benediction, ED) in my back pocket just in case.

coral elk
gritty oracle
#

yeah but diminishing returns means the mobs will eventually become immune to the stun

coral elk
#

Then attack with Stone?

twilit arch
#

no

#

there's no need to run back

gritty oracle
#

Always keep your GCD rolling. Ideally you stand in the middle of the pack and spam holy. Obviously dodge aoes if you're in danger of dying as well.

twilit arch
#

just position yourself where you're not going to be hit by the aoes or adjust appropriately

#

but just stand near ish the middle of the mobs and holy away

coral elk
gritty oracle
#

also I'm in favour of the opinion that eating one aoe is not the end of the world if it means the mobs die one gcd faster. Just don't die. You can heal yourself up while the dps are finishing the last of the pull.

coral elk
#

@twilit arch so holy spam instead of stone now?

twilit arch
#

for AoE situations, yes

gritty oracle
#

Holy at 2 or more targets

twilit arch
#

single target, no you're still gonna stone spam

coral elk
#

Thank you both

#

I really appreciate it

gritty oracle
#

again, I play sch that also has a point blank aoe, but no stun and instant cast, so I just weave in and out of aoes

#

like a dancer

#

also iirc Holy also has a 600 mana cost, so make sure to hit lucid at 7k mana

twilit arch
#

you're right tho, that eating one aoe isn't gonna be the end of the world so its ok to take one or two depending on how much dmg it'll do

coral elk
#

I think I saw Gravity for the first time in that same dungeon.

Oh okay got it. I had been doing lucid at 5000 prior

gritty oracle
#

also the stun may interrupt the attack the aoe is telegraphing

twilit arch
#

eventually you'll get thin air

#

which is the best for aoe spam

coral elk
#

One more question - how long until Holy can stun targets again? I don’t see the duration in my action menu

twilit arch
#

4s on the first hit

#

2s for the 2nd because stun has dimishing returns

gritty oracle
#

so basically like 5s total stun

coral elk
#

Oh okay. Thank you

gritty oracle
#

good question though, does resistance wear off over time or does it last until the mob resets or is killed?

twilit arch
#

iirc its overtime

#

but might wanna double check with biscuit/rika

obsidian patio
#

If it’s the same from what I remember, it’s about a minute after immunity starts

gritty oracle
#

"Each time stun is inflicted, the monster gains some resistance to the status effect; the first stun is ranted the full time of stun duration, the second stun is effective for only half of the stun's standard duration, and the third stun for a quarter of the standard duration. As soon as the third stun lands, the monster is immune to all stuns for 45 seconds, at which point the resistances reset. If two players stun a monster in rapid succession, and the second stun lands while the first stun is still in effect, the second stun does not refresh the monster's stun debuff and it does not count towards the monster's resistance."
Found it on the fandom page but it also referenced class specific skills so might be outdated

#

Hello! Total noob here. I'm planning to buy ff14 bundle on steam. I have a couple of questions.
1st - Do I need to buy other expansions? Because I heard that you can't play classes that were in those expansions.
2nd - Can I prolong my subscription with steam? Because I didn't find any in steam store.

twilit arch
#

if you're buying complete on steam, then you don't need to buy anything but future expansions, as complete comes will all current available expacs

#

and subscription is paid for thru the mogstation, not steam itself

echo tinsel

Thank you!

Where’s the next NieR quest after To Make Amends?

twilit arch
#

there is none for now

next set will be in 5.5

#

Oh thank god I can’t sit on this cliffhanger

plain python
#

I have trouble gearing my two combat retainers past lv50. My ironwork gear are all gone, and my alliance seal gear seems only help them up to lv53 in term of total ilv

#

any tip? I don't have any gear lv50-59 anymore

little swift
#

ilvl is the only thing that matters for combat retainers

#

so just grab them some vendor gear

#

from ishgard

twilit arch
#

haven't personally bothered to really look at the new experience numbers, but could also just do quick ventures

#

since they made quick venture exp a flat amount, rather than based on what was brought back

steep vine
#

What’s the best thing to mine, to make Gil at the moment?

lone zephyr
#

how do i get master recipes

agile laurel
#

Varies. Either from scrip vendor, or the masterwork book trader at Mor Dhona

twilit arch
#

1,2 and demimateria are from talan in mor dhona

#

3+ are all from yellow scrips

#

though you need to have unlocked the appropriate house of splendors to buy them. 3+4 = idyllshire, 5+6 = rhaglrs, and 7+8 = eulmore

leaden ginkgo
#

Whats the best tank in this game

#

Also whats the easiest

potent shale
#

Any tank is a good tank

tight ridge
#

Does anyone know what happened to the heavensward ephemeral nodes? They weren't spawning

potent shale
#

but if you want a Tank that you could level very quickly is Gunbreaker

leaden ginkgo
#

Isnt that a real complicated class? Or so i heard

#

Im new

agile laurel
#

nah

potent shale
#

Nah

agile laurel
#

gunbreaker has a lot of buttons but isn't really a difficult concept

potent shale
#

surprisingly GNB is very easy

#

it has many moveset because it starts at level 60

#

where the moves are more or less complete

leaden ginkgo
#

Every advanced class has some sort of systen like thaumaturge or black mage right?

agile laurel
#

gimmick? yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah

agile laurel
#

blm is odd because it gets its gimmick VERY early

potent shale
#

DNC is actually pretty straightforward

leaden ginkgo
#

I started of as thaumaturge and got to lvl 30. But dps queue seems really long and I love doing dungeons and raids...so I thought to maybe roll a tank or a healer

potent shale
#

if you're extremely lazy at levelling

#

its the two in one class

leaden ginkgo
#

I dont even understand how to level up besides main quest and fates

#

Im like very new

little swift
#

Tanks by far are the easiest role

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah i tried arcanist for awhile..not really into summoner things but i liked the heal

little swift
#

Physick isn't something you should use regularly as a summoner

potent shale
#

but once you get to level 30 you can choose between Summoner or Scholar

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah saw that. Just not interested in summoner

#

What I really wanna try out is machinist, gunbreaker, dark knight, red mage and astrologist

little swift
#

All of those are available later

potent shale
leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah seems like lvl 60

potent shale
#

😂

leaden ginkgo
#

Lol kid 30

little swift
#

Machinist and dark knight need msq progress to unlock

potent shale
little swift

!faq expacjobd

Error!

No tag named expacjobd exists, Kupo!

Heck

And yah astro does too

potent shale

but GNB, DNC, SAM and RDM just need their respective levels

#

Rouge can be unlock at level 10 in Limsa

if i simply queue into e10s, do i lose my loot for e9s for the week

potent shale

No

leaden ginkgo

we're just trying to prog e10s

Yes you forfeit your loot roll for the week

but not clear-

!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

Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.

Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.

The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests

potent shale
#

I forgot about that

leaden ginkgo
#

So best way to level up is msq?

little swift
#

You lose your book chance too

halcyon tulip
jaunty crow
#

is there a place on here to meet new players

#

a disc section

leaden ginkgo
#

Also if im a thaumaturge and got to lvl 30 I can become black mage....is there any point in continuing to level up thaumaturge?

little swift
#

You get thm exp while playing black mage

leaden ginkgo
#

Ohh

little swift
#

Black mage is a direct upgrade to thm

#

@jaunty crow not anything specific but you can check out your relevant data center channels and recruitment channels

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay but if I get to lvl 50 with black mage and then go red mage...then what? Black mage stays 50?

little swift
#

Correct as well

#

They're separate jobs

jaunty crow
#

okay

leaden ginkgo
#

But skills from.one job cant be used on other job...or passives?

little swift
#

No cross class actions

#

Just role specific skills

leaden ginkgo
#

So basically only play black mage to 80 if i wanna play that

little swift
#

Yup but leveling alt jobs on the same character is really easy

leaden ginkgo
#

bruh why does loot work like this

#

it literally makes no sense why

little swift
#

Just clear the floor?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah im yet to see this. In just a noob so still leveling my first job

#

we're just trying to prog

#

well one of our healers is MIA

#

so we can't clear

little swift
#

🤷‍♀️

#

Your choice ashe

leaden ginkgo
#

bro i just

#

why doesit work like this tho

#

what were they trying to achieve, genuinely curious

little swift
#

It basically assumes you don't need that floor anymore

#

At least for the week

#

Lockouts are in place to also prevent people from cheesing lootdrops

@leaden ginkgo also, once you get a job to level 80, all other classes get 100% bonus exp

Until level 70, which then becomes 50%

did you progress alot on it? if not, then just make a new one

are mounts attainable after I join a grand company?

halcyon tulip
#

Yes, thats when you get your company chocobo

oak ice
#

You can only get your first mount after you join one

#

!faq mounts

zinc orbitBOT
#
Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

merry umbra
#

thanks

#

once I do that can I use mounts I already have

#

assume it unlocks all of them

oak ice
#

Yep

merry umbra
#

cool

#

and is there a specific company I should join or is it just flavour?

Purely flavour

The Chocobo quest will be in the HQ of whichever one you pick

pearl perch
#

hmmm so at the point where I unlock the "trust" system butI have a question is there any reason besides queue time to favour it over normal matched parties?

twilit arch
#

you also get all of the loot so if there's something you want from that dungeon and you don't want to necessarily fight pugs, then trusts can be decent choice

#

but generally the instant dungeon queue is the main reason

pearl perch
#

gonna of course do the first one with trusts to try the feature but was askinf in case of future groups

#

thanks a ton didn't think of that

faint flare
#

Trusts also more or less do the mechanics correctly

pearl perch
#

oh wait... they drop less loot

gritty oracle
#

You get a neat title for bringing everyone except ||Lyna|| to 80

faint flare
#

So you can watch them and learn

#

The less loot is just going from 2 gear pieces per chest to 1

Since you're getting everything

Although don't bring both Alphinaud and the little girl into Mt Gulg. I heard neither of them can do the tile puzzle mechanic, which is kind of ironic in Alphinaud's case.

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

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.

You'll have whatever spells that job has at whatever level you are on that job

fossil hinge

thx

faint flare
#

Each job is seperate on levels

proud panther
#

Which mat should I be buying with tomestones of allegory to sell?

drowsy stream
#

so if i switch to another job i go back to lvl 1?

#

on same toon

#

so how is that different from just rerolling another toon?

#

just trying to understand

glass oxide
#

It won't go back to one

faint flare
#

You'll already have gear and content already unlocked

#

And not every job starts at lv1

#

Astro starts at 30

#

You'll only get scholar after getting Arcanist to lv30 to which its then lv30

#

Making an alt means you have to do EVERYTHING again

#

All story, all unlocks etc

drowsy stream
#

but would it be easier to do on same character vs creating another one?

crystal bluff
#

Yes

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You also get bonus xp

#

For jobs under your highest level job

drowsy stream
#

oh, so it took me 2 days to get to 26 on conjurer

#

how long would it take me to get this guy to 26 on arcanist

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

I would recommend finishing MSQ before leveling up multiple jobs

nimble charm
#

How can I unlock the chocobo? I got it with my monk yesterday but switched to white mage. Now I am Lv 50 but still can't summon it

faint flare
#

If you already unlocked mounts then you already have it

nimble charm
#

I mean the one to fight in tag team the mate one

#

Can't summon it to fight

faint flare
#

Do the Feisty chocobo quest in Bentbarrow

fresh isle
#

what level do I get retainers?

faint flare
#

Around like 17 story or something

nimble charm
faint flare
#

Central Shroud

drowsy stream
#

is feisty chocobo quest a part of main story? or do i have to finish something in the main story to get it? i'm lvl 26 and still don't have mounts

faint flare
#

Feisty is side

#

Unlocking mounts is also side but ita blue and it should be shown under the main scenario tracker

#

As its a mandatory quest

worthy jewel
#

what do I do with non-rareified collectables? they don't seem to be able to be turned in...

faint flare
#

It's at your grand company HQ

drowsy stream
#

do i get that grand company quest automatically when i finish the progression of main story quests before that?

#

i just finished that dungeon in the desert

faint flare
#

Picking a grand company is part if the story

drowsy stream
#

for main progression

faint flare
#

Its after ifirit

#

Around lv20 story

drowsy stream
#

once u get your mount are there cool mounts you can purchase for real money?

#

just wondering...

wispy parcel
#

Yea

#

faint flare
#

There's a few on Mogstation

wispy parcel
#

Most are still gotten ingame tho

drowsy stream
#

#

just checking, they aren't cheap eh?

#

24 bucks

#

😄

drifting timber
#

I bought the steam version and got an EU code but my account is NA

#

how boned am I?

faint flare
#

You can't use the code boned

drifting timber
#

that's maximum boned

faint flare
#

If you already revealed the code then chances are low for a refund. So best bet is try to find a trafe for a steam NA code

drifting timber
#

yeah, sadly thought so

glass oxide
drifting timber
#

well if someone wants to trade NA / EU codes hmu

#

thanks for the answer

drowsy stream
#

i'm wearing mostly unique items i've gotten in dungeons but when i try to dye it says i have no dyable items. am i doing something wrong?

drowsy stream
#

drowsy stream
#

oh wow, so at 50 white mage i can just learn samurai job?

faint flare
#

Yes

drowsy stream
#

worthy jewel
#

so if I gathered the wrong collectable, its worthless and I should toss it?

green grail
#

you can probably turn it in somewhere, i'd assume

#

but if not then yeah pretty much

worthy jewel
#

the rarified ones can be, but I don't think the non-rarified

twilit arch
#
Players who have gathered these items and still possess them in their inventories may submit them to the collectable dealer in Mor Dhona at Revenant's Toll (X:22.3 Y:6.7).```
#

that said if you recently gathered it, then it wasn't a collectable and either has to be sold on marketboard if its used in a crafted recipe or to a vendor since it likely doesn't have any other use

crystal bluff
#

when does a BLM want to use flare?
I assume its just for dungeon aoe mobbing then you swap back freeze to gain mp back, rinse and repeat?

faint flare
#

Aoe rotation

strong radish
#

had anyone had a good experience with the square support?

digital kraken
#

For the ninjas out there, should I huton-hide before entering the boss arena?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Always

wispy parcel
#

BLMs aoe rotation is
Freeze > Thunder 4 > Flare > Flare> Freeze > Flare >Flare

#

Etc

strong radish
#

genrally how long does it take for them?

worthy jewel
faint flare
#

You can throw a doton down as well before hiding for free damage if the tank pulls the boss into it

#

Items that used to be collectibles are no longer able to be gathered as collectibles

twilit arch
#

before 5.4 several of the items that were gathered as collectables were used for recipes

worthy jewel
#

I did collect this today

twilit arch
#

the new set of rarefied stuff is not, and is only used for collectables

worthy jewel
#

duskfall moss specifically

twilit arch
#

duskfall moss is not a house of splendors collectable, its a custom delivery collectable

#

and turned into zhloe assuming its being requested for the week

worthy jewel
#

ok, I'll toss them as they're not being requested. thanks all!

#

(also SE please explain this in game >:( )

wispy parcel
#

Like most MMOs they do kinda expect people to read the patch notes

worthy jewel
#

I mean, I'm new. How many patch notes am I supposed to read to start playing?

glass oxide
#

Don't recommend if you are not caught up with the story

worthy jewel
#

how many of the same item can I turn in each week with custom deliveries?

twilit arch
#

6 per custom delivery npc, for a total of 12

drowsy stream
#

Is crafting worthwhile in the game? like if i'm an armorer can i make cool armor for my friends that is worth making or are drops still way better?

worthy jewel
#

oh wow, 6 is a lot

#

of the SAME item?

faint flare
#

Crafting gear is a very good stepping stone to help you catch up

#

But its typically not the best

#

HQ crafted gear is the same as other ilvl itens

drowsy stream
#

so what are the advantages of learning to craft

glass oxide
#

Usually you can deliver 3 before you rank up and they change

twilit arch
#

unless you're still ranking them up, yes

wispy parcel
#

Its a commitment

drowsy stream
#

by saying catch up, what do you mean?

twilit arch
#

first rank up requires only 3, with the 2nd+ being 6

drowsy stream
#

sorry im only 2 days into the game

#

lol

faint flare
#

Catching up to current item levels at cap

worthy jewel
#

making money and melding materia are the main reasons to craft I think

drowsy stream
#

im looking for things to do when my kid can't play, she doesn't want me to outlevel her

fresh isle
#

I will level um gathering and then crafting
no idea where I will put the materials tho

worthy jewel
#

oh and repairing gear

faint flare
#

As at 80, you're put at 430 ish but current ilvls is 530

drowsy stream
#

so i'm looking for useful things to do

faint flare
#

Crafted gear will help you catch up and out you at 510

#

Ofc you'll also make money and your own consumables like food and potions

drowsy stream
#

so i'm an mage and she is an archer for us i would assume i would have to be a tailor

faint flare
#

Along with quite of life like self repair and seld mekd

#

You want them all

#

Crafting and gathering is one big package

#

They all use mats and stuff others make

drowsy stream
#

oh, so i can make plate to?

faint flare
#

And gear is spread out acrosd them all

twilit arch
#

gear types for each role isn't really broken down into cloth/leather/plate like in other mmos, for instance wow

#

While weaver is going to make most of the gear that white mage wears, its not going to make all of it

#

some pieces are going to be leatherworker, or armourer

#

it depends on the gear itself as the game leans a bit more towards realism

#

so if the outfit is mostly leather, but for white mage, its gonna be made by leatherworker

#

but the main reason why you generally want to level all crafters is: a, they all share gear so you save on space and b, most of them require intermediate mats from the others

#

i.e weaver will need leather from leatherworker and potions from alchemist, etc

drowsy stream
#

thanks for the info

languid viper
#

hello, I was wondering how to know when a server has the 100% exp boost for new players ?

#

Hi guys! I'm wondering if anyone knows how it works if I have all the CE editions on ps but want to play on ps4 aswell (pc gone T_T)

#

pc*

drowsy stream
#

i notice if i change to another professions weapon it strips me naked, how do i get my guy dressed quickLY?

#

is there a fast way to do it?

#

cause its a little annoying dressing and undressing all the time

#

lol

crystal bluff
#

@drowsy stream you can create gearsers

#

gearsets*

drowsy stream
#

how would i do that?

glass oxide
#

You can cross play but have to buy the game on ps4 again

crystal bluff
#

in your armory screen, there should be a button on the top right

strong bobcat
#

@glass oxide yeah I figured. but do I need to buy all the CE editions again or can I just get the complete edition for ps4 and still have access to my CE stuff on ps4?

crystal bluff
vague plinth
#

New player here, are there any holiday things I should do for limited time mounts/pets? Got the snowman in Gridania already.

glass oxide
twilit arch
#

if you own the CE on pc then you dont need to buy it again on ps4

#

CE is account bound so it only needs to be bought once

strong bobcat
#

Alright, thanks a lot for the info guys

glass oxide
#

If you finished it you get to keep the reward forever

#

There is another one incoming right after this one

crystal bluff
#

whats the one coming up?

twilit arch
#

heavensturn

#

which is basically the new years' event

vague plinth
#

Thanks for the heads up, didn't wanna miss something cool just cause I was overwhelmed with everything else to learn in the game 😅

Hey guys I have a question about housing timers?

#

Basically if I choose to move my house will my old plot have a timer on it? basically im trying to get an FC house while I own a personal estate on Lamia

twilit arch
#

yes

nocturne fulcrum
#

OOF

#

I miss PreCovid when nobody camped houses on Lamia xD

twilit arch
#

any plot that is either relinquished by the house being demolished or relocated will go on the hidden timer

nocturne fulcrum
#

RIP me I guess

marble dome
#

i guess wait until the housing demo timer kicks back in

fresh isle
#

tbh
they should somehow solve the housing

marble dome
#

well, at first it was controlled by price

#

but as more people gain money, over time, its harder to get a house, with a growing playerbase

frosty walrus
#

They said they were going to update Party Finder to handle these 48 man instances right?

marble dome
#

it already has, the duty that requires it is not implemented yet

fresh isle
#

are some houses harder to get than others?

frosty walrus
#

Does it work for Castrum?

marble dome
#

it shouldnt

twilit arch
#

large/medium houses generally are harder to get as there's less of them with bigger demand

marble dome
#

medium houses cost 20 mil

#

large cost 50 mil

twilit arch
#

smalls are arguably easier to get because there's more of them, but when its on the hidden timer they're all kind of equal

marble dome
#

if you have ever been to a small house buying party, its packed

blissful lava
#

Is there a channel here that serves like the PF in FFXIV?

marble dome
#

scroll down to the datacenter channels down at the bottom

#

below that is recruitment

drowsy stream
#

ok another dumb question, once i get my needle and materials how do i actually start crafting clicking on the action tells me it is only available while crafting

blissful lava
#

Thanks @marble dome

azure crane
#

open the crafting log (on keyboard it's n)

marble dome
#

you have to select the item from your crafting log

azure crane
#

and choose the recipe

drowsy stream
#

oh

#

cool

#

thanks

frosty walrus
#

So that party finder update won't apply to Castrum?

azure crane
#

quick question will the snow effect in the cities still be there for Heavensturn?

leaden ginkgo

how do i get the housing stuff for the starlight event
