#

Wands aren't a thing past arr

gritty oracle
#

I remember a Garuda wand lol

little swift
#

Because shields currently serve no purpose for blm

violet meteor
#

They should just remove all wands and just have BLM start with a staff lol

gritty oracle
#

Tbh lowkey wish we got primal crafted wands for roleplay

violet meteor
#

I guess for glam and RP purposes sure

leaden ginkgo
#

Erp?

violet meteor
#

Is anyone here willing to help me on Aether do BLU spell grinding. I've been in PF and in every town trying to find any level 80s to help grind them out for hours now.

gritty oracle
#

#aether-recruitment

violet meteor
#

Wasn't sure if that was for FC and statics only

gritty oracle
#

Also it's New Year's Eve. It's understandable that people wouldn't do parties

#

Nah blu statics are not often a thing

violet meteor
#

I've been trying for a couple days now XD

gritty oracle
#

Oof

violet meteor
#

I just want to 100% it's so frustrating that BLU is essentially disliked by the community and I understand the reasons but damn, I just want to play him cuz I do enjoy it lol

gritty oracle
#

Probably try after the holidays end. It's strange, Crystal always has a bunch of blu parties up

violet meteor
#

Hmm, guess I'm just late / early to the party

little swift
#

Aether usually has some decent pfs too

#

Its definitely a holidays thing

gritty oracle
#

The yokai event really revitalized the interest in blus and hasn't died down

violet meteor
#

I'd assume between that and the grinding fates for relics

frail loom
#

Hiya, just bought the game so I'm new; been having issues with my game code though. Has anyone else experienced code already registered errors?

leaden ginkgo
#

Considering its a new yeats eve the game is packed lol

opal silo
#

plently of us with no lives ;)

little swift
#

Those would be irrelevant to the error

#

Can you tell us more about it @frail loom

frail loom
#

I bought the game a few days ago, went to put in the code where it says under "Add service account" and it keeps saying "The entered code has already been registered". I just call it an error since it's really weird that minutes after buying it it's apparently used 😦

#

This was through the official Square Enix shop too, not third party

#

It's this one: FINAL FANTASY® XIV ONLINE COMPLETE EDITION - COLLECTOR'S EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD]

Which is what I'm trying to register

jolly karma
#

when leveling and doing the MSQ for ARR i am stuck at "A Time to Every Purpose" it say i need to do some quest related to the crystal tower, but when looking up what quest i need to have done, i have already done them.. do i need to do the raids to be able to finish the MSQ for ARR?

jolly karma
#

okey so just follow the quests for the raid and i will get to the MSQ after?

hasty musk
#

No, it's not part of the MSQ questline

#

It just won't let you progress the MSQ until after you finish them

little swift
#

You need to finish the entire quest chain

#

Which includes the raids

jolly karma
#

okey, i am on Syrcus Tower atm so after that i can pick up the MSQ?

little swift
#

@frail loom do you have a screenshot of the error

hasty musk
#

No, you need to do World of Darkness and finish the whole questline

little swift
#

Did you have a service account existing already

jolly karma
hasty musk
#

It's the 3rd ARR alliance raid

#

Labrynth of the Ancients, Syrcus Tower, and World of Darkness

#

And you unlock them all through the Crystal Tower questline

#

You need to do them all to finish the questline to continue doing the MSQ

jolly karma
#

okey, tahnks

frail loom
little swift
#

Hmmm thats strange

#

If you still have all your purchase history and stuff I'd definitely contact their support

frail loom
#

Sure thing I'll send a ticket, just thought I'd ask here first in case anyone was in a similar situation and might know what's up, but thanks for looking anyway! Hope it gets fixed 👍

next pendant
tidal yarrow
#

what happens if i haven't finished arr yet and i buy a hw story skip?

next pendant
#

Then you get to level 50 instantly and start hw

little swift
#

A hw skip will skip you past hw

next pendant
#

Ok then, level 60 and stormblood

little swift
#

But story skips will not level your job

next pendant
#

It brings one job up to the level of the content you're skipping

little swift
#

You will still have to buy a level skip or manual level

pastel star
#

does it matter which class my retainer has?

next pendant
#

He's right, dunno what my friend bought that brought him to 70

little swift
worthy basin
#

at what level you can join an fc?

pastel star
#

but it doesnt matter which?

little swift
#

Just keep in mind your retainers can't outlevel you in the job you assign them as @pastel star

pastel star
#

oh good info

little swift
#

Iirc theres not level requirements to join an fc

fresh isle
#

So I found this in low lvl area, what is it?

#

some kind of special enemy?

little swift
#

B rank mob

#

Only really worth murdering if you have it as a weekly hunt mark

#

B ranks aren't aggressive either so you can just ignore them

fresh isle
#

Ok thanks

limber walrus
#

does double hooking give only 2 fish in the end or can it give more than 2?

#

tryin to catch some blue crabs, but not sure if the strat is to catch one, then Identical Cast -> Double Hook, or if it's simply more worth to Patience II into Precision hookset

frozen girder
#

@fresh isle There are special enemies that have weird symbols next to their names (Like that one)-- these are Hunt mobs. They give you special rewards when you kill them, and there are bounties you can pick up at hunt boards to kill certain ones. There's B, A, and S tier.

cold steppe
#

i assume there are 12 total alexander raid battles? not accounting for the harder mode

faint flare
#

Yes

#

All 8 mans except bahamut has 12 fights

#

4 per tier

#

(though coils turn 3 isnt really a fight but it exists)

cold steppe
#

ic ic

#

uhh and another question, i noticed i cannot store the welkin set from job quest (ast job 60) so i wonder, in case i'd sell it off to my grand company to make a space, how do i even get that back if i'd want it for glamour? mooglethink

#

since it's not considered a set that i can put into armoire for whatever reason

faint flare
#

Centurio seals

cold steppe
#

ah the hunt stuff

modest igloo
#

you can put them in an armoire or glam chest

cold steppe
#

those i cannot, i tried

faint flare
#

Not armourie for the 60 set

patent citrus
#

yeah, just spent some glamour prism and put them in the dresser ^.^

modest igloo
#

ah ok mb

patent citrus
#

you can return it back to normal later when you need it

cold steppe
#

i'll consider it, im kinda stuck without those for now cuz im trying to finish heavensward before i actually redeem my game

#

so im still stuck without marketboard for a while lol

#

for prisms

faint flare
#

Grand company seals

patent citrus
#

people get prisms from gc, not mb usually

faint flare
#

For prisms

cold steppe
#

i just wanted to know in case i'd screw up and threw those i can get them back basically

faint flare
#

Like 200 seals per prism

cold steppe
#

ah ic

#

gochu

#

thanks for the help

dreamy warren
#

Fastest way to level from 79-80 if all dailies are done?

#

Is it Bozja+Mt. Gulg or just Bozja?

faint flare
#

If ques are short do gulg

#

Otherwise bojza

dreamy warren
#

queues say less than 5m but that's often not true

cold steppe
#

oh right, i know there's emperor alexander fight, are those alexander raids prerequisite for that one or is it completly separate thing?

faint flare
#

Like the big winged Alexander?

cold steppe
#

uhh the one that has ultimate

#

lol

faint flare
#

Ultimate Alexander

#

That just requires clearing Eden 4 savage

cold steppe
#

ah ic

#

so completly separate thing then

faint flare
#

Yes ultimates aren't related to their original counterparts

#

Just clear the last savage fight of the tier they were added

cold steppe
#

ic ic

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay so my wife and I are trying to play together..we are on same world spriggan but we cant see eachother

#

Shes on pc and im on ps4

faint flare
#

If she JUST created her character then she's in a solo instance

#

Complete the first few quests and she'll be out

leaden ginkgo
#

Ohh thanks

upper temple
#

@cold steppe On every dungeon grind every equip cause you can give to npc to grand company (1 near another who exchange items fo seals) for make many seals.

#

is fast method

#

And good for make seals for buy Ventures for send your retainer to mission

cold steppe
#

thats what im doing for the most part with gear im not using Zaffira

#

i just didnt noticed you can actually buy prisms from GC

marble dome
#

@limber walrus you can get up to 4 in a cast with double hooking, it depends on what you are farming however, most will only drop 2 at a time

leaden ginkgo
#

If i started a game as thaumaturge , how fast can I change the class?

marble dome
#

level 10

cold steppe
#

realistically lvl 15 MSQ cuz you wont be able to go to other cities before that via story at least

faint flare
#

Well you'll be able to pick up classes in your starting city

marble dome
#

ive done a level 1 trek across the cities, picked up every ARR aetheryte

cold steppe
#

yeah, in starting city, probably not worth the bother from others cuz of the time

marble dome
#

its doable, just not easy

cold steppe
#

you'll get to every city story wise preety early eitherway so if you wanna switch tbh just focus on MSQ

tawny quest
#

Just getting to level 10 won’t do anything

eager abyss
heady knot
#

any server for savage parties

#

try to farm some augmented crystal gear

faint flare
#

You can get crystarium augments from nier coins or hunts

heady knot
#

ah ok

#

may do that then

#

but still want to do savage tho

#

any recommendation for savage?

faint flare
#

People dont do old savages

#

People do the current

heady knot
#

:/ ok

faint flare
#

Eden promise savage

gritty oracle
eager abyss
#

ok ty

gritty oracle
#

Wait no, the lunchbox threw me off

eager abyss
#

Different gloves though

gritty oracle
#

Ah

#

Was going to guess aechaeoskin jacket next

#

The angle and lighting is wonky

eager abyss
#

Actually I think the arms are the same but cause of the position of the camera it hides the empty space on the upper arm

leaden ginkgo
#

does anyone know if I have to start in a prefered server to get the new character exp bonus?

faint flare
#

Yes you do

#

You only get it on character creation

#

Not transfer

leaden ginkgo
#

tragic

bold mirage
#

so with a gathering class and daily maps---are you stuck with whatever map type first shows up, or can you keep trying other nodes till you get a differentn map?

#

I keep finding gliderskins when im looking for zonure--am I wasting my time?

oak ice
#

Bad luck

bold mirage
#

cool, just making sure

oak ice
#

I had to go through 22 nodes once for a zonureskin

leaden ginkgo
#

You kinda have to pretend you dont need them, and suddenly they'll show up

oak ice
#

And you don't have to dig them, just exit out and go to the next

faint flare
#

The daily map is only consumed when you gather iy

limber walrus
#

you can dig something like wind clusters

#

and then mine othernodes while waiting for it to respawn new nodes

faint flare
#

You dont need to dig anything

#

Just cycle around the nodes

bold mirage
#

thats what ive been doin, I just wasnt sure if I wass wasting my time going from node to node or if it was like----rolled before I dug the first time and 'set' for the day

#

good to know

faint flare
#

Nodes in a circle reset after looking at the 4th one

limber walrus
#

oh

leaden ginkgo
#

is exp in dungeons based on enmity/aggro? so like a tank receives more xp than a healer on avg

#

or do all classes gain the same xp

#

as long as they all tag the ads

faint flare
#

All the same

gray mortar
#

If I didnt do the previous ruby weapon etc do I have to do them before emerald ?

#

I assume yes

crystal bluff
#

yes

#

though you dont have to do ruby savage to do emeral savage

gray mortar
#

I have maxed my totems for the week so dont know what to do

#

I am ilvl 498 or something should I just buy some more exartic and give savage eden a try ?

burnt pumice
#

I just bought the expansions on Steam, how do I activate them?

karmic niche
#

gray mortar
#

Might as well give it a go then no point waiting next week for totems

karmic niche
#

well you have 498

#

and you need 500

#

to do the first savage

#

for the current tier

gray mortar
#

correct

#

one more exartic gear will get me over the threshold

karmic niche
#

you could just buy ilvl510 crafted gear

#

they are cheap now

gray mortar
#

true

karmic niche
#

i think

#

last time i saw them they are below 300k

gray mortar
#

rings are fairly expensive still but everything else has gotten cheaper

#

I think the weapon was only 89k

karmic niche
#

because you can get ilvl 500 weapon by completing the relic weapon quest

#

that why the weapon is cheap

jovial tide
#

What gear was I expected to wear at lv 80 anyway?

#

Besides the obvious job gear, didn't look like a substantial improvement so I just ignored it

#

Went in hades with the dwarven set and got my ass handed to me

gritty oracle
#

In general listen to recommended gear

faint flare
#

You're expected to have your job gear for the last trial

#

Any increase is an increase

#

Especially weapon damage and main stat

wispy parcel
#

the level cap gear is always much better then leveling gear

#

and level capped dungeons and trials are balanced with that in mind

proven elm
#

So I’m a bit confused. I am a lvl 43 Dragoon atm. And if I wanted to keep working this class to 80..and take a new job. How do you level the job if you can only go through the MSQ once? My friend said the jobs start from lvl 1 (unless they are level restricted..like the Red Mage is lvl 50) what’s the way you level a new job?

Says 2nd flame Lieutenant

faint flare
#

Thats with your grand company

soft briar
#

It says I have to have class at level 50 but I am a level 58 samurai

#

Do I have to have a class that's level 50 that's not my samurai?

faint flare
#

Its any

soft briar
#

Including samurai?

faint flare
#

Yes its a class

soft briar
#

Thank you

magic light
#

what are the chances of walking through the rotating laser in emex and be perfectly fine are?

slate arrow
#

Slim, but possible.

#

You'll probably take 1-3 ticks of Lazer damage most of the time

faint flare
#

Do you trust server ticks yes or no

little swift
#

Its pretty high tbh at the slimmest point

#

Not practical but something that definitely doable

patent citrus
#

i know it's a bit weird question, but which melee class has the most support skills? 🤔

#

ninja?

slate arrow
#

DRG or MNK

#

Probably DRG

little swift
#

Ninja used to have more

magic light
#

probably DRG

little swift
#

But not anymore

faint flare
#

Dragoon has 2 buffs with litany and eye

#

Other melees only have 1

#

Trick or brotherhood

little swift
#

Monk has mantra and brotherhood

faint flare
#

Wellll damage buffs

#

Mantra is like half

little swift
#

The question was in regards to support skills

faint flare
#

True

patent citrus
#

I see

#

usually the dps that i go to when there's role in need is bard

magic light
patent citrus
#

wondering if there's a melee equivalent with the same amount of support skills

#

but i'm asking too much it seems 😂

slate arrow
#

not really

scarlet sandal
patent citrus
#

both are the same hotbar i think lol

slate arrow
#

seems like you have Hotbar 1 set to Hotbar 2 currently

scarlet sandal
#

I have no idea what I'm doing I just bought a mouse so I'm trying to keyboard mode

patent citrus
#

both says 2 in front of the hotbar

#

ok ty ty for the answers ^.^

polar cairn
#

is white script crafters gear good enough to make grade 4 tinctures of strength?

slate arrow
#

probably not, without HQ materials

chrome salmon
#

wait

#

potd is good with exp leveling bc after ur done it transfers to ur current level in game right or

slate arrow
#

no, you just get a lump EXP dump every 10 floors

#

wait

chrome salmon
#

oh wtf ugh

faint flare
#

Its good because there's no role requirements thus quick ques

slate arrow
#

so you can 4 dps or 2 tanks

#

as long as you get 4 people from the queue

chrome salmon
#

oh ok

jovial tide
#

Do people queue for HoH to the same degree as PotD?

slate arrow
#

kinda sorta, but not as much since you can only queue for HoH at 61-70

#

PoTD is 1-61

jovial tide
#

Regarding multiple shield buffs, in which order are they consumed?

TBN always first. Cataylse always last

jovial tide
#

Thanks and one last question, is there some key you can mash for ATMs instead of click spamming?

#

I've been click spamming and the folks in hades seem to break free in about 1/3rd of the time I do

gloomy ice
#

Mash your keyboard too

#

Any input counts

faint flare
#

Except enter obviously

agile laurel
#

W A D S and both mouse clicks will get you through any mash

faint flare
#

Though if you do accidently hit enter during your button mashing you're legally obliged to paste the chat

what is TBN?

does free company and my grand company matter?
I mean if my Grand one is different from the one of the free company

faint flare
#

No

#

Having just completed mainline shadowbringers, are there any unlockables in the source I should know about, besides job quests?

#

Strictly to 5.0

faint flare
#

Well the relic weapon

gritty oracle
#

The Twinning, Academia Anyder

outer plank
gritty oracle
#

Eden's Gate and Verse

#

Wait the Source

faint flare
#

They said on the Source

gritty oracle
#

Werlyt Sorrows will be unlocked soon

faint flare
#

Which is the relic weapon if you finished the lv70 24mans

#

For a free i485 weapon

faint flare
#

Bojza is 5.1

outer plank
#

ah

faint flare
#

They can at least start the relic line as thats also a requirement for bojza

jovial tide
#

Where's the starting point for that?

faint flare
#

I seem to have a different experience because most people jump for joy in the chat as soon as they see orbonne flash across the screen

gloomy mortar
#

Is there a way to set your emotes so that they don’t broadcast to public, and only show up to the target?

#

Other than manually typing ‘motion’ after typing the emote (no button)

open ember
#

try "display log message"

#

and uncheck it

gray mortar
#

if everyone in Limsa could do that it would be appreciated

gloomy mortar
#

I randomly got into a snowball fight with 3-4 other people in the starlight area. Someone who was not in the holiday spirit said they’re reporting us for emote spam.

#

If a GM gets that report, would it just be quickly tossed or is it actually investigated?

agile laurel
#

tossed. that's not even a thing

leaden ginkgo
#

Confuzzled about Curative magic. The aura seems to symbolize Wind when casting it, but is it Wind or Water? It seems like some Curative Spells are water based yet the actual Cure Spells may be Wind-based?

#

Blue Mages' cure is called White WIND, so I'm really heavily leaning towards Cure Spells being Wind, but I would like confirmation on that. ^^

agile laurel
#

White wind is a misnomer. Healing magic is light aspected

#

if we're being technical

agile laurel
#

at least that's how the wider series classifies it

#

and the visual representation can kinda be taken with a pinch of salt, because that varies heavily from title to title

#

take Holy for instance

limber walrus
#

happy new year EU people!!!

#

Also I was gonna say... I'm really confused (as a paladin main, trying out white mage), I have all exarchic stuff of Fending and I'm somehow healing MORE, even double hp sometimes, with Clemency, than I do with cure II on white mage with all exarchic stuff (minus the staff)

#

is Paladin clemency so broken?

#

the hell

agile laurel
#

clemency scales off mainstat

#

so str

faint flare
#

Clemency itself just has really high potency

agile laurel
#

it's also nuts potency, yes

#

so it makes a meaningful dent in your hp

limber walrus
#

that's SO wild that I can outheal a white mage

agile laurel
#

well

#

it also comes with the payoff that it cripples your dps output if you have to use it

#

so...

faint flare
#

And is a giant resource void

agile laurel
#

yups.

faint flare
#

And usually ending up HP neutral or negative

agile laurel
#

breaks your combos because it's a spell, and fucks your rotation in various ways

leaden ginkgo
#

what are fellowships? i joined one. is there like chat or something

faint flare
#

They're basically message boards

#

No chats, only posts in the fellowship window

#

Message boards

limber walrus
#

what do you mean HP neutral or negative?

agile laurel
#

if you're in a situation requiring you to use clemency, you're likely to have lost more health in the process of casting it than you restored

faint flare
#

It means yeah you healed, but the mobs are now alive longer thus are gonna deal more damage to you

agile laurel
#

if not less

faint flare
#

Thus negating clemency heal

limber walrus
#

no...it always heals more in my experience...especially when using requiscat, which makes it insta cast + increased potency

agile laurel
#

quick paladin tip: avoid clemency at absolutely all costs

faint flare
#

Again

#

Because you healed

agile laurel
#

no, not quite understanding- because you have not used your MP to kill the enemies

faint flare
#

The mobs are now alive longer

limber walrus
#

ohh

leaden ginkgo
#

where can i buy gysahl greens in gridania?

faint flare
#

Thus they're going to have more time to damage you

agile laurel
#

if we're talking potency of MP

#

nonexistent

faint flare
#

Tbus the extra time and damage has negated the clemency

agile laurel
#

@leaden ginkgo i think the black rabbit trader near-ish the aetheryte

leaden ginkgo
#

ill have alook. TA

agile laurel
#

if you have to use clemency at all, make it to save a dps or something

#

avoid at all costs using it otherwise

#

let your healer do the healing

#

'cause you're not doing them any favours by doing it yourself

gloomy mortar
#

What do you get from collecting all those ‘???’ Boxes from the Puppets Bunker? The ones which say ‘Lifeform data collected’

agile laurel
#

nothing, iirc

faint flare
#

They're lore

agile laurel
#

they're just lore snippets

faint flare
#

They go into the collection data thing

limber walrus
#

I see...I have been told a few times to trust the healer...and then died when I did so...I only really use it when I feel like the healer needs a little help, while raising someone...

#

I guess it's just my experience

agile laurel
#

situations to use clemency: when shit has seriously hit the fan

#

any healer would much rather you spend mp on using requiescat properly and speeding up the fight

limber walrus
#

Okay, I will keep that in mind

agile laurel
#

because if you're doing your rotation perfectly, iirc you can afford a single clemency in a pinch

#

any more and you'll disjoint your rotation something horrible

patent citrus
#

well as a tank, you don't have a choice beside trusting the healer tbh..

gleaming mist
#

your rotation already gets disjointed by any clemency casts

agile laurel
#

true, you're a gcd out

gleaming mist
#

it goes from 63s to 66, and so on

patent citrus
#

i'm pretty sure healer also has a learning curve, they need to decide what is their comfort zone..

agile laurel
#

well in short, clemency is a very attractive concept that should be used in absolutely zero situation ever except absolute emergencies

limber walrus
#

I am also trying out scholar as well as white mage

#

and I'm at 74 scholar and can I just say

agile laurel
#

it's a good habit to get into

limber walrus
#

it's super different and hard to get used to

agile laurel
#

scholar benefits from being able to play reactively

feral narwhal
#

If I get my friend the Start Edition and Shadowbringers on Steam, will he have access to HW and SB?

agile laurel
#

it doesn't have a vast amount of stuff to call on to deal with bad unexpected situations

#

yes

#

SB is included with the purchase of ShB

feral narwhal
#

Starter comes with game time too, right?

agile laurel
#

and HW is starter edition anyway

faint flare
#

Starter gives you a month

feral narwhal
#

Ok cool thank you ^_^

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok so Im a bit lost

crystal bluff
#

where can you get tier 6 materia?

leaden ginkgo
#

Ive downloaded the starter online edition I have on Steam and I have my CD key however when promted to put in CD key. It states its already used

#

I am signed in with my square enix account as well that is linked to my steam account

#

any idea what I should do ?

agile laurel
crystal bluff
#

thx

gloomy mortar
#

Tier 6 materia is cheapest on the MB. Otherwise it’s 800 tomes each as I remember

agile laurel
#

at that point it's cheaper to just get clusters from hunts or so

#

but in terms of time investment, check your MB prices

white bronze
#

I got the 490 crafter gear.. Is there anything better to chase?

#

I'm not hitting values for crafting new 510 armor

gloomy mortar
#

I believe you need to pentameld your 490 with max materia to make 510.

white bronze
#

Cool how do I pentameld?

faint flare
#

You need need a crafter levelled

#

Or use request meld on someone who has

gloomy mortar
#

Buy a lot of +Control and +CP level 8 and level 7 materia. About 100 each.

white bronze
#

Sounds expensive 😭

gloomy mortar
#

It is!

white bronze
#

I got about 2.7 million so I'm poor

gloomy mortar
#

I spent about 2million per a melding all crafters

white bronze
#

Fuck sakes

#

I need another way to make money then

#

Need money to make money 😴

gloomy mortar
#

The market on 510 gear has dropped to the point where it’s not worth it

#

150k each for most.

white bronze
#

#

which path for companion is good for a pugilist

#

alright than nvm thanks anyways guys. you all have a good day just not ment to be i guess

gloomy mortar
#

When it was 400k, it was easy money

white bronze
#

I still need an income stream

gloomy mortar
#

It takes about 80k worth of materials to make 510

white bronze
#

Fuuuck

#

My warrior of light should be collecting unemployment at this rate

gloomy mortar
#

I found that selling the gathering materials is more profitable. Harvest the ephemeral botany/mining nodes. Each unit goes for about 1k

frozen girder
gloomy mortar
#

As opposed to crafting the mat, which only sells for 20k and takes 4 units

frozen girder
#

I wanna know where to find the Blue Mage quest dude is

white bronze
#

Idk what the means

gloomy mortar
#

And 20 tomes

white bronze
#

That's kind of the biggest issue I have with youtube Gil making guides is they throw a bunch of terms that I don't know what they mean lol

gloomy mortar
#

For example Dolomite. Sells for 1k each. You can craft an ingot which takes 4 Dolomites and 20 tomes, and sell that I got for 20k. The 510 gear take 4 of those ingots and sells for 150k.

white bronze
#

Pooh

gloomy mortar
#

And those 20 tomes are hard to get

white bronze
#

Ooo

#

Tomes?

gloomy mortar
#

Tomes of Allegory

white bronze
#

I have 1772 of those

gloomy mortar
#

So in short, just harvest the dolomite and sell it. Takes less time and effort

#

You’ll need pentamelded aestete gear to make the ingot

white bronze
#

So I'm back to square one then cuz I'm too poor to pentameld

gloomy mortar
#

Yeah, so your best option is to just constantly harvest and sell the Dolomites, etc

#

For 1k each

#

Each harvest, you should get about 20

@sterile flower For Tomes, Buy stuff to desynth or trade for seals. Or, you can buy unidentifiable ore, trade it for soil, and sell the soil, which gets about 1k each, but sells slowly

obsidian patio

@lunar quartz is that the very first set of GC gear in the first section of the GC vendor?

#

The ones specifically called “grandcompany Soldier’s Cap” and so on?

Achievements like that can be very picky in having the exact gear needed

Why is it telling me I have insufficient space in my armory chest to equip any of my weapons? It looks like I have plenty of open slots

faint flare
#

Your other slots are full

#

When swapping jobs, you unequip everything

#

So make sure every armoury slot had space

#

Especially rings

burnt pumice
#

I have plenty of open slots in every category

raw solstice
#

could you double check? If you have at least one slot available in every category (including offhand) and two in rings, you should be fine

opal silo
#

Part of my fascination with ffxiv is all jobs on one character. At what point does it make some amount of sense to begin going alt wild?

raw solstice
#

for majority of people, never honestly

little swift
#

alts are mostly to play with other friends on different data centers

#

but even then thats a rare case

raw solstice
#

Unless you mean alt jobs, I suppose

opal silo
#

Sorry, bad terminology. I meant alt jobs

little swift
#

many people in that case do level everything

#

its just a matter of when and if you want to do it at top speed or take your time

scarlet arrow
#

if you find yourself vastly outleveling the MSQ quest you are currently on (easy to do on a preferred server, less easy but possible without) it may make "sense" to start a second job

when do i know i made it to heavensward?

Ishgard

jovial stratus
#

?

obsidian patio
#

When you enter the city of ishgard

scarlet arrow
#

when the MSQ lets you enter Ishgard, that's when HW begins

obsidian patio
#

There will also be a cinematic with the words “HEAVENSWARD” right on the screen

scarlet arrow
#

in other words, you'll know 😛

jovial stratus
#

I just beat the ultima weapon. is that endgame or heavensward?

scarlet arrow
#

ultima weapon is the end of 2.0

#

you have to get through all of the 2.1-2.55 MSQ before you get to heavensward

trail mulch

Does anyone have a macro for visors and changing class, like when I utilize the AST welkin hat it default turns the visor on, but I want a macro that allows me change class and turn it off immediately

yes that too

jovial stratus
#

oooh ok so thats how i get all the other trials and stuff right?

scarlet arrow
#

yes

trail mulch

Uh iirc yes

Ultima Weapon also unlocks the Crystal Tower quests too IIRC

can i get the other one later?

Best materials to seek for as a miner for profit ?

There's a handful of castrum discords

Eurekan Explorer discord has links to several of them

Ok ty

I know this probably gets asked a lot but is it worth coming back to try the changes? I stopped back when 50 was the cap and Titan PUGs were the scariest thing to do haha DNC looks intriguing to me as I mained BRD

so uhm

#

Would I be OK as a solo player

versed venture
#

do I spam standard step

#

on DNC

little swift
#

Titan pugs are still scary

#

yes you use standard step every 30s

rigid narwhal
#

use it on cooldown, always

little swift
#

It does damage its good

faint flare
#

Its your second highest damaging hit

#

versed venture
#

ok ty

I just didnt know with delay caused by doing the dance if it was a bit slower

#

appreciate it

little swift
#

Its like a 4s total

rich reef
#

As a new player is there anything I should buy or train that will help?

obsidian patio
#

Nah. Crafting and gathering classes are completely optional. You can do endgame content just fine without ever unlocking them

rich reef
#

So porters are flight paths?

agile laurel
#

yes, essentially

#

if this is a WoW comparison however, porters are quickly overtaken by teleport

#

which is like having a hearthstone to anywhere, only with a bit of a charge

#

the charge becomes irrelevant once you've got your footing however, it's practically pocket change

rich reef
#

Am I missing something or is the recommended gear thing broken?

faint flare
#

It looks at whatever gives you the most main stat

agile laurel
#

Wild guess, but might this be related to an item that takes up multiple slots?

#

some low level chest items do that

rich reef
#

I am wearing a robe, but it's also with pants

agile laurel
#

uhh, yep

#

robes are just chest items

#

they don't tend to overlap legs slot

#

sometimes they overlap the head slot

rich reef
#

yeah it overlaps the helmet though

leaden ginkgo
slate arrow
#

the only multi-piece items are the bulky robes which eat up a headpiece slot and chest slot, and the glam items which do the same. (only pieces which do so are the Snowman and Ghost outfits from old events)

leaden ginkgo
#

can i use this indefinitely?

slate arrow
#

up to 99 times

#

or if you replace it with a new action

faint flare
#

99 uses

jade quartz
#

And the tin can armours

leaden ginkgo

these ones?

Hey I would like the question the best way to level up a DPS from level 70 to 80

slate arrow

those are infinite

oooh

#

If it doesn't have a number of uses, then its unlimited

slate arrow
#

@blazing plover roulettes > dungeons > Bozja

leaden ginkgo
#

but i have 3 and 2 of these

blazing plover
#

@slate arrow ty

faint flare
#

Thats how many of that skill you have

#

And its wait

leaden ginkgo
#

?

leaden ginkgo
#

i can use it 3 times then?

jade quartz
#

No

faint flare
#

"available 99"

#

Is the uses

jade quartz
#

When you use it from the chest

#

It goes into your duty actions

slate arrow
#

the actual item themselves are consumed into your duty actions when used from your holster

#

when it's in your holster, that's how many you're carrying

#

when it's in your duty actions menu, it's then pulling from Available

leaden ginkgo
#

also, how do I get offensive ones?

#

and defensive

slate arrow
#

Level up > grind out the action gems > turn in

#

(well, rank up, in this case)

#

(most of them are behind rank requirements)

leaden ginkgo
#

spellforge vs steelsting?

#

whats even the difference between physical and magic

agile laurel
#

some enemies take more

#

look at the buffs of enemies in bozja

faint flare
#

Different mobs in bojza have a physical or magic vulnerablity

agile laurel
#

many have magical/physical resistance

#

especially relevant in castrum lacus

faint flare
#

Magitek/robot mobs are weak to magix

#

So casters/people with spellforge do more damage to them

#

25% more

leaden ginkgo
#

damn

agile laurel
#

i believe the bosses in castrum lacus have randomised resistances

faint flare
#

There's not too many physical weak mobs in bojza

agile laurel
#

but i may be misremembering

faint flare
#

Nah they're set

agile laurel
#

ah

#

ok

oddly they made it so you could reset enmity on dummies, but took away being able to 'outrun' them

leaden ginkgo
#

huh

agile laurel
#

or at least you can move out of range of combat on them but it's an impractically long way

leaden ginkgo
#

ok in mor dhona

#

oh you exchange phantasmorgia for allegory

#

where do i exchange those?

faint flare
#

You use allegory in eulmore

warped nest
#

For 490 gear or mats

leaden ginkgo

Eulmore is the lv80 hub

lime geode
#

Third times a charm in Bozjan - do you need a team? I tried to go there solo and just got destroyed

faint flare
#

You can solo just dont pull mobs over rank 3 unless you have good actions

#

A bloodsucker warrior can pull everything in sight and live

#

For example

lime geode
#

I'm a PLD and figured it'd be ok but didn't work out at all

onyx kiln
#

do i need to do the triad primals EX trials as well for the void questline?

faint flare
#

Having Bloodsucker on helps stay alive but you'll need cooldowns for rank 3 and offensive actions to help kill them

Craft them (level 50 alchemist) or buy them from the marketboard

leaden ginkgo
#

could someone tell me why sometimes the "need" option is not available for me for loot in dungeons?

raw solstice

the need option is only there if the gear is specifically for the job you're running the dungeon as

leaden ginkgo

ive seen that it is for my job

but the need option still wasnt there

jade quartz

It’s not for your job

If its intended for your job you can need

jade quartz

You might have seen some dragoon gear

leaden ginkgo

yeah i am dragoon

jade quartz

Then

faint flare

Some ARR gear is wack and say dragoon can wear it but its intended for tanks

jade quartz

You can need dragoon gear.

that makes sense vinyl

jade quartz

What was the piece of gear exactly

leaden ginkgo
#

i dont remember, happened multiple times though

faint flare

Some dragoon gear is also equippable by tanks

Just fate and quest

#

whats a good DoH that I can use to just passively make a bit of gil.

Fate gives you tickets to buy itens from the event shop but 1 gold basically gets you everything

jade quartz
#

It’s heavensturn

#

Same as ever

rugged flicker
#

Do you need to do the FATE for the helmets?

jade quartz
#

Yes

faint flare
#

Yes, again you do it for the quest and 1 gold ranking gives you all you need

#

You get 1 helmet from the quest and the othet you buy for 5 ticket. Gold rank gives you 10

#

Housing item is 3

obsidian patio
#

@vast torrent no conclusive answer, as each server’s market is different and there’s lots of small potential pockets of items to make for good profit

#

For most of the crafters you can craft the items that are requested for levequests and sell those on the marketboard for somewhat consistent profit

#

Can I retain Hidden status as NIN to do Trick Attack, even after the Tank has pulled?

jade quartz

Not viably.

do white mages have class specific armor sets or weapons or is it just basically conjurer stuff?

jade quartz
#

Wait for suiton

#

!action suiton

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.

That’s how trick attack is used.

Oh, I'm dumb lol

jade quartz
past sinew
#

NIN starts easy, but it started getting complex the higher my levels went

#

Needless to say, NIN sure as hell requires more skillful play

jade quartz
#

There are job-specific sets at each level cap

#

As a white mage you still gain “conjurer exp” and equip “conjurer‘s arms”

#

Because you are a conjurer with a fancy stone equipped.

#

Just a result of how the job system was originally designed.

hey rather important question, is the FFXIV wiki site destroyed for anyone else? if I go onto it, a bunch of adware/fake firefox updates start popping up

obsidian patio
#

The next Resistance Weapon step is expected to change the model of the weapon into a new one, maybe with a glow too

jade lava
#

but yeah it is

obsidian patio
#

Consolegameswiki is a pretty meh site all around, I recommend Gamerescape for general wiki usage if needed

lavish rivet
#

alright so the site got attacked noted

karmic palm
#

so the consensus is if I won't get to end of Heavensward soon, I should just buy ironworks stuff

lavish rivet
#

i was just trying to check how far into the MSQ i was but then got absolutely assaulted LMAO

obsidian patio
#

Ironworks is still useful for heavensward leveling, as you can’t get shire gear until level 58 in the story

karmic palm

#

I don’t recommend intentionally grinding out entire sets due to the high cost per set, but it’s something you can steadily work towards with the poetics from daily roulettes

thanks wynne, this is driving me crazy

as monk should i be using true strike instead of twin snakes?

#

at level 35

obsidian patio
#

You alternate, as Twin Snakes gives a damage buff

jade quartz
#

Use twin snakes when the timer is going to fall off

manic flare
#

is there a ui for monk positionals that i can toggle in game

#

i can't remember which monk attacks do more damage in rear v flank

#

and i dont want to keep looking at tooltip in middle of battle

jade quartz
#

no

drowsy stream
#

can i pick up samurai job at 50 no matter what class I am now?

jade quartz
#

keep practicing and you will develop muscle memory

#

can help to put all flank abilities on one hotbar row and all rear abilities on another

#

or something like that

obsidian patio
#

Any job can unlock Samurai, yes.

drowsy stream
#

do samurai get class specific armor ? so they can look as a true samurai ? 😄

manic flare
#

yes

drowsy stream
#

cool!

manic flare
#

you get the gear as soon as you unlock the class

#

it's the nameless set

drowsy stream
#

can you get other sets?

manic flare
#

yes

drowsy stream
#

cool!

manic flare
#

as you do more class quests

drowsy stream
#

awesome

manic flare
#

u get another set at level 70

#

and 60 too

#

i think

drowsy stream
#

how bad is the grind 35-50

manic flare
#

samurai starts at level 50

drowsy stream
#

its not been bad at all to 35

manic flare
#

oh i see what u mean

drowsy stream
#

ya

manic flare
#

it's slower than 1-35

drowsy stream
#

meaning does it get much harder to lvl 40 +

manic flare
#

but still pretty quick

#

if u have all the leveling dungeons unlocked

drowsy stream
#

i did 35 lvls in like 3.5 days

manic flare
#

even without the powerful double exp buff, u can do it in one night

drowsy stream
#

how do u get double exp buff?

manic flare
#

create character on preferred server

drowsy stream
#

what's a preferred server and how does that effect your other characters if at all?

what's your datacenter @drowsy stream ?

drowsy stream
#

oh its a server they want you to roll on

#

crystal

manic flare
#

!preferred crystal

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

List of preferred worlds for Crystal:
Brynhildr
Malboro

faint flare
#

Preferred server gives you double exp up to lv70 on all jobs

manic flare
#

if you made ur character on one of these serverse, u get double exp

drowsy stream
#

wellp... i'm on goblin so out of luck

obsidian patio
#

It’s not an overly vital buff in terms of your first class, as the story already gives tons of experience

manic flare
#

again u dont need it, it's still pretty fast leveling 35-50

drowsy stream
#

ya not worried about it... just wondering

manic flare
#

if u do these dungeons in order: sunken temple of qarn -> cutter's cry -> stone vigil -> dzemael darkhold -> aurum vale

#

you can get from 35 to 50 in a few hours

#

without the buff

faint flare
#

The buff basically makes levelling alts less tedious

manic flare
#

im actually grinding out monk right now from 35

drowsy stream
#

few hours ?

#

wow

manic flare
#

yea if u have healer/tank job

drowsy stream
#

well im white mage

manic flare
#

it will take 2-3 hours

drowsy stream
#

lol

#

it just so happens that im a healer

manic flare
#

with dps, it will take twice as long

drowsy stream
#

now if i did do that through dungeons do i need to finish white mage quest or main quest story to get samurai?

manic flare
#

no need to finish

drowsy stream
#

cool

manic flare
#

u can't finish it anyway

#

white mage class quests goes to 80

drowsy stream
#

i may just do that

strong saddle
#

Is crafting worth it these days? (I say as a free trial newb)

manic flare
#

yes

#

i've saved maybe 2 million gil crafting my own stuff

strong saddle
#

I know crafting dungeon gear is ehh

#

I mean for low levels anyway

faint flare
#

You dont craft dungeon gear

#

You craft gear thats on par with it when high quality

twilit arch
#

for a trial user, crafting can be kind of painful

strong saddle
#

U know what i mean yeah that

twilit arch
#

since you won't have access to retainers

strong saddle
#

A what

twilit arch
#

basically your bank/auctionhouse

manic flare
#

retainers are npcs that you customize which give u extra inventory space as well as selling stuff for you

strong saddle
#

Eh i get the auction house thing to prevent spam .

twilit arch
#

so you don't have anywhere to store excess materials or dump off stuff you make

#

also generally recommended to wait to level crafters/gatherers until you're max lvl

manic flare
#

retainers can also gather crafting materials for you

twilit arch
#

since its a lot easier to level them when you're already capped and have a lot of things already unlocked

strong saddle
#

I'm not a pc guy. But i tried on my cousins computer. I'm having trouble using movement and oressing keys at the same time. Making me do some crazy motion to do both plus targeting

#

How u yuys do it

#

guys

faint flare
#

By changing hotkeys to have skills of buttons that are more easily accessible

#

You can also plug a controller in if you want

strong saddle
#

Playing ninja on console

faint flare
#

Is very doable

strong saddle
#

Is the stealth thing kinda pointless in the overworkd

faint flare
#

Basically yes

#

Hide is to reset mudras

#

First and foremost

strong saddle
#

Console brethern. How do u use macros in your gameplay

faint flare
#

You dont

#

Macros are never the option in 99% of situations

#

Combat macros, exception to raise and target macros for skills like Shukichi, are extremely bad

dark hill
#

I was looking to get back into the game. I have the base game but haven't bought any expansion packs. Would it be best to just buy the complete edition on Steam that is on sale currently for 29.98?

strong saddle
#

I mean hey its a sale

faint flare
#

Just buy Shadowbringers

obsidian patio
#

I mostly use macros for placing ground-based skills

faint flare
#

You already have the starter edition

#

And therefore only need Shadowbringers

strong saddle
#

I hate having to manualy click the ground skill

#

So why are the xpansion options a thing

faint flare
#

Plus you cant use complete edition if you already own thr base game

dark hill
#

Do I need Heavensword?

obsidian patio
faint flare
#

Starter edition has heavensward bundled into it

#

So you already have it

obsidian patio
#

You can also have a version that uses <me> instead to have it target yourself

faint flare
#

Shadowbringers will give you stormblood and Shadowbringers

dark hill
#

OK thanks Vinyl!

#

Happy New Year

jovial tide
#

Are 3rd upgrade resistance weapons considered the current best?

faint flare
#

The i500? Not the best weapons

jade quartz
#

That's as far as the Resistance weapons can be upgraded so far, yes

#

They are not the best weapons available in the game.

faint flare
#

They'll get another upgrade in 5.45

#

Which is prooooooobably like February

#

Maybe late January at the earliest

strong saddle
#

How is red mage for a new player? Is it easy to leadn

faint flare
#

Its one of the easier jobs

strong saddle
#

learn

kindred apex
#

Imo RDM are between the easiest jobs in the game, together with WAR, WHM and SAM

faint flare
#

Cast shortcast spells > dualcast the long cast time spells > repeat until you have enough gauge for melee combo and repeat

#

Rdm is the second easiest job in thr game...dancer takes that title

strong saddle
#

I heard there's a spell that makes your vero spells instant cast. Plus an ability called acceleration

lilac dock
#

dualcast, yeah

faint flare
#

Dualcast

jade quartz
lilac dock
#

makes the next spell you cast instant

jade quartz
#

Every second spell you cast is instant

lilac dock
#

lotta fun

faint flare
#

Dualcast lets every other spell instant cast

jade quartz
#

you always have it

faint flare
#

After hardcasting a spell

#

(meaning you cant use swiftcast to proc dualcast)

lilac dock
#

Also do i have to log into my squenix account before logging into my ffxiv account after a reinstall

jade quartz
#

they're the same account

#

and no

lilac dock
#

'cause it really doesnt want to send the pass reset to my email lol

strong saddle
#

Check spam

lilac dock
#

done that

strong saddle
#

Refresh?

lilac dock
#

only options i have are set up account or register free trial

#

or rather, i possess an account

#

or dont

#

but my passwords dont wanna work

balmy lotus
#

lilac dock
#

strong saddle
