xd yep did that
Alreay on the mountain, already emntioned two caves in the area i'd been in : P
I arrive to the location by teleport to Anyx Trine, go to the upper floor, go into a cave with dinosaur, and nagivate from there. It is a long trip, btw
in the mountain
Lol thats why you need flying XD
Second floor of anyx trine
cuz it is faster XD
xD yes i realize -IN- π the mountain - tehre's two caves IN the mountain 've been in that are not the same cave nor entrances to mourn lol
Yes XD i have flying lol
For Blue Mage's spells from dungeons, (Tam-Tara-Normal in this case) is it possible to do it solo before massively overlevelling for it or do I have to wait for a PF?
As said, i'm into Stormblood's patches before Shadowbringers with two other classes.
well, for BLU, you can make a party finder, or ask a carrier
can't make a PF
no matter anyway, cuz learn rate is 100%
You can solo but spell rates are lower when unsynced (except Glower and Mind blast)
ask on NOvice network then
Learn rate is only 100% when synced
you need to really be in the mountain. enter it from the aetheryte
100% for quest-related spell
And those
Mind Blast and Glower are 100% now
....right but you walk through the mountain from teh second flor, i got that
That cave is the mourn
so Ehs Dai whateveri s mourn and 'im just blind π
(which is fair, i'm so used to the other classes that i'm only levelling this one for backup)
Ok i'm IN Ehs Daih now, and every time i navigate it it takes me further away from the Job Quest point, i'm gonna keep exploring in the instances that maybe i missed an entrance.
Ok nope Ehs Daih is not the cave XD i'm on the foothills sorry, i guess i need to be further over to Sohm Ai or whatever π thanks for putting up with me β€οΈ
kieran
enter it from here
you should be in a location that is very red and hell-like
if you are in that location, just fly straight to your quest location
i helped an FC member with this exact quest the other day, except I just flew them there
this is what the entrance looks like
this is the place you should be in

and this is the exact location of the quest
that little altar thing
apologies for screenshot spam
Nah no that's more helpful than reddit XD - i get this is like easy for some but i'm so used to being the other classes, i'd given up my WHM at level 60 after it level locked (it got to that level after doing fates from the yokai thing)
i would fly you there myself if you were on aether
BINGO! got it thank you! I figured it out, i was mistaking the floors like a silly ameican XD (i'm an expat but still lol)
ah oki
Trusts are basically for if your DPS queues are long
Since they take around 25-30 minutes per dungeon, while dungeons done with players can be 15-20 minutes.
Assuming no wipes for either
as a new player, is it recommended for me to stick with one job until i reach a certain level or complete a portion of the MSQ?
how early is early enough to start branching out
branch out as soon as you want
msq + daily roulettes allows you to easily maintain 2-3 classes with the MSQ
How do I unlock "Normal Raids" level 60. I can't seem to be able to google the quest start for them
you need to finish heavensward first
then you need to unlock the first alexander raid
question for the Fashion Report: Do I have to physically wear the items as items or is it just the glamour?
once you've gotten the 2nd raid, normal raid roulette will unlock
okay
you only need to wear the glamour
ok
Either works
does different dyes count or if I wear all Soot Black does that work?
The FR command tells the general dye color and specific color that gives bonus points
no
pick your favorite
all that stuff is just worldbuilding and roleplay
your nameday doesn't matter either
nor does your race
the only thing that matters is what class you pick because you start in a different home city
which isn't a big deal anyway because you travel to the other home cities in like 3 hours of questing
cause I'm looking at the thing and is one robe better than another or do they all count equally?
Is the six sided star move for monk worth including in rotation?
those are all the possible ones you can use for max points
kaiyoko star also includes an "easy" set at the bottom
ok
hi, im trying to do the quest onwards and upwards. talking to the airship ticketer but he says no flights cause of weather. is there a way around that or? am i doing something wrong?
uhh, are you talking to the right airship ticketer
Whats the top called that has a phany pack hanging off your shoulders
it's not available yet
Should I not be using blizzard 2 in my aoe rotation? (as a level 30 blm)
btw, is there group content i can do while i level ? like in wow dungs ?
you learn freeze in a few levels, freeze spam is actually your best AoE up until level 50
yes there will be numerous dungeons and boss fights that you unlock and need to do with a group of people
where can one buy materias from?
I'm only asking because somebody mentioned that I should just blizzard one instead
marketboard, or obtain them in numerous other ways
at level 30 it really doesn't matter whether you blizzard 1 or 2
you have to be close range to use blizzard 2
so it's a pain in the ass to walk up anyway
that's fine, just means I need to have better positioning
you only stay in umbral ice long enough to get MP to cast fire spells
yeah I'm talking about when i'm oom
is it worth to do roulette 50/60/70 for exp? some people say its not, some people say that for the time invested is ok
you're only going to have time to cast like three blizzards before full mana
what are these antique helmets, mail, etc for?
you can give them to an npc to get useful gear, but I think all that gear is not so good now
where can this one find that npc, could exchange for them anyway if they look half decent
Kakalan in Mor Dhona (x22,y5)
thanks for the information!
no, 50/60/70 is poor exp
because the 50/60/70 dungeons reward very little monster kill exp
if you want poetics, 50/60/70 is good, but it's bad for exp
are most things at 46+ from gathering unspoiled? lol
if you really want to go the extra mile, you can use blizzard 2 at that level, but it becomes irrelevant in literally like 4 levels and most level 80 BLMs don't even have blizzard 2 on their bar anymore
blizzard 2 is literally so shit that people don't even have it accessible
(it really should have just upgraded to freeze.)
That feeling when you realize you spent 3k poetics on I 240 gear instead of the 270 lol
f
yeah I just had a negative experience in a dungeon, somebody was upset that I was using blizzard 2 and I was just cross checking the facts here thank you for the help
I didn't argue with him just to be clear
yeah it was so baffling
but whatever
people have bad days
FWIW as a black mage you're going to feel relatively weak compared to other classes until like level 60
I'm SAM, if there is AoE that I couldn't escape from in time, after orange floor disappears, can I use Third Eye to have less damage, or because the orange floor disappeared, its late for Third Eye ?
uhm
unfortunately BLM just suffers a lot from a pretty terrible leveling process
more so than other classes
can you see unspoiled nodes only once as they appear? or do they respawn in the same "timer duration? 
Damage is calculated just before the orange marker disappears/cast bar ends.
Once
Is there a way to know how many seconds orange floor have left ?
appreciate the heads up, but I think the subtle intracacies of the class make it fun (stuff like slide casting, positioning etc)
what does your msq objective say?
Watch the enemyβs cast bar
Once? That'll be annoying to collect all then, thanks. lol
Ah, so orange floor stays as long as cast bar is being filled ?
Yes
great, thxs, that's new for me
sorry, just realized i didn't accept the quest lollll. ty for the help anyways
yeah, i'm way too tired to be doing this rn. i watched through all those cutscenes at the end of a realm reborn so
i was kinda out of it lmao
should i take all quests at once and decide which of them to do or is it better to just take them 1 by 1 ?
the only important quests are the MSQ quests and the blue + quests

for reference
you can safely skip all the ones that look like this

alright, thanks
they give very little rewards and are only worth doing if you really care about worldbuilding or lore
they're not even much exp
some of them may give vanity stuff like minions or emotes
There is a max number of quest that you can begin (32), if you wanna do all side quests for extra exp or plot, take all but finish them

Do dark knights use shields?
No
the only class that uses shields is paladin
Ty^^
Are side quests at the beggining as good (storywise) as the ones in HW?
I skipped all quests and side quests dialogs until MSQ 35, but now in HW I love the lore of the side quests, sometimes even more than the main story.
hard to say
there's fuckin loads of sidequests
only way to know is to go do them
but honestly they're a bit of a distraction from the main story
yes, but I wanna know if its worth to spend hours and hours doing ng+ just for side quests, if they're as good as the ones in HW I'll do it, but I wanna be sure
there are a few notable sidequest chains that i enjoyed though
well you'd have to find someone who's done all the sidequests first
i sure as hell didn't
I've never done new game +, the progress is saved independant from the main game, and I can do ng+, return to normal game, and go back to ng+ whenever I want, right?
Yep
I've heard S-E sells a book with lore, does it have info about EVERY npc of the game? every npc from every side quest (for example name, pic and profile of every moggle from HW)?
regarding astrologians
if I put synastry on the main tank and then heal the main tank
does synastry proc itself
i.e. do they get healed twice
do we have a looking for group channel?
Yes
Synstry is essentially a 40% heal boost to Benefic spamming
Well last ditch effort
I did all the sidequests up to 5.0 ending
It starts to really blur by the time you hit ShB
Anything that isn't a chain quest is very formulaic and I mostly forget them the next day
I thought ARR chainquests were fairly alright, HW was good, StB was peak quality, ShB was questionable, but maybe I just burnt out by the time I hit ShB
It may be a bit of a pickle since I'm about to finish Dragonsong and I have done the bare minimum blue quests as I could
I felt like I was really having to force myself in ShB
Literally forget the quest the next day so I abandon it just to re-read
Made it an utter slog
That's rough.
The ||Il Mheg|| ones were bearable but ||Amh Araeng|| was terrible
first time im seeing someone put stormblood on top and shb on bottom 
I'm doing post-ShB right now and in retrospect I'd praise StB over ShB still
Perhaps newcomers are more likely to pick their own favourite rather than following the crowd tierlist?
pretty sure they are talking about sidequests and not the msq
im not saying theres anything wrong with it
oh yea, i think so
Yea I'm referring to sidequests in mheg/araeng
ah
About the Squadrons, are they capped at lvl 60?
I'm a newcomer, started ~2 months ago, but yes StB is my favorite
Not buying into mainstream opinions
yes
I can see why veterans would like ShB but I personally did not appreciate being forcibly ripped out to do a really long side arc right at the climax of the main story
Because to me this was all contiguous, no 2/3-year expansion wait
I tried the demo once years ago, probably in heavensward or stormblood somewhere, and again around shadowbringers. bought the game in october or november and took a break which lost me my road to 70 buff sadly but it's fine because I've been consistently overlevelled anyways... just disappointed I don't get it for my alt jobs ig
Is there any way to make a glam plate with gear that can't be equipped by my race/gender? The dresser won't let me. It's for my retainer.
if I've been neglecting my blue quests since basically the very beginning, only stopping to do aether current ones and an occasional one here and there, how long do you think it'll take to pick them all up again from the beginning through dragonsong?
Blue quests in general aren't long
Very much depends on the quest. Some of them are one-off, like the wondrous tails one, some will lead to a long-ass questline with raids and such
but there's a lot
Unless its a dungeon or Trial chain
I've missed a lot, so it'll probably be a grind...
You can probably knock the nom dungeon ones out in a day
Its just running and talking to people
kk i think it'll be fine
Dungeon/trial chains will depend on ques
Tbh the only ones that are "mandatory" are alexander, wondrous tails and ivalice. I recommend Omega and Bahamut for their story
i mean to me all of them are mandatory because I wanna get all of it
wondrous tails is just so useful and alex will grant you access to the raid roulette
is it possible to make a character on Leviathan? or is it permalocked
!status Leviathan
so during off times i should be able to make one
Wait until late at night/off times
ty!
are drops from dungeons/raids affected by your current class or the classes in the party?
Can you use kupo bot commands anywhere?
yes
if you want to use a bunch of them at once for yourself #kupo-bot-spam
and if you're talking about personal discord servers
you can invite kupo bot to it
the chest drops are usually rng. on leveling dungeons, you are automatically given something that your class/job can equip directly into the invnetory upon completion
Complementary info: Leveling dungeons refers to dungeons that aren't level 50/60/70/80
I've just watched a youtube guide on Eden's promise eternity savage... I feel like I lost like 90 brain cells and brain is like jelly π
i mean
i'm assuming you've already cleared e11s
if you've downed e11s you can do e12s
This is basically my first savage raid ever
just a matter of patience
uhh, first question, if i were to want to buy a fc house, how much money are they worth normally?
Just cleared all the normals today
and second question, how do i know which house is on sale
Then dont look at Eternity if its your first
start with umbra savage
Thats far in your future
well i have bad news for you
oh no
!faq Housing
a small can cost as little as 3-4m, larges up to 50m
i just want to buy a house for my guild which is literally just me and 3 friends
you'll know if it's on sale if you look at your housing ward interface and a price is listed
My item level rn is 513
and additionally getting the house itself is the hard part
watch a guide on e9s. you are quite literally month(s) away from e12s
Months????
You need to clear the previous floors to attempt e12s
Otherwise you forfeit EVERYTHING from 9-11
not even that
Plus its a ramp in difficulty
What do u mean I forfeit everything
e12s and e9s are significantly different in difficulty
you have to clear e9, e10, and e11 every week before you enter e12
After entering 12 that week
so what you're saying is, join a guild that already has a house
or else you forfeit all your loot
probably your best bet
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
but also. assuming you raid a decent amount
many savage raiders still haven't cleared e12s
does anybody know what the drop rate of the first three memories are in the bozjan front based on enemy killed? It seems like stronger enemies drop it more often
i think a standard casual-midcore static would be working on e11s right now, maybe e12s
hey guys quick question, i just hit 80 on samurai and im still at level 70 msq. i feel bad that all this exp i get from these quests is going to waste, is there anything i can do to make it go towards another job?
Every week, everyone gets a clean slate. So if I go and enter E10S right now, the game lock me out of E9S reward until next week. That's what forfeit means in this context.
@leaden ginkgo you can grab dancer or Gunbreaker
They start at lvl 60, shouldn't take you long to match your MSQ level
i almost want to screenshot that comment @leaden ginkgo considering how many people pop in here and ask "should I focus only on 1 class for msq"
how do people that already finished MSQ level up their other jobs?
!faq altlvlguide
I dont think anyone has bothered to check or test for any anadotal numbers
Doing dungeons etc
My experience raiding so far has just been crystal tower, alexander savage (light farming), copied factory, and puppet's bunker, as well as eden 1-12 normals
Dungeons give you a lot of exp
Im probably gonna just focus on one class or maybe 2
On average, 7 dungeon runs = 2 level
that's essentially 0 raid experience, as all those things are story difficulty
i'm assuming you haven't found a static. you're about to be in for a harsh awakening if e9s is the first "hard" content you've done
its a sin if i use anything but the katana, its a sin if i provide any utility to a party
all of those fights you just mentioned are doable in literally 30 minutes
it's not uncommon to spend upwards of 6 hours to learn e9s and clear it
you might want to start with learning emerald weapon EX and getting its i515 weapon first
or you can jump straight into e9s
either works
If you haven't done any savage before, I personally would recommend EX first
π ty
Just to ease you into the jump in difficulty and mechanical challenges
I think the hardest Content I have done so far is doing eden eternity normal and I've also done Titania ex like 30 times
titania ex is a joke
lol
i actually went into that fight 100% blind and cleared it on the first pull
Well it was definitely easier than what I saw in the e12s guides. I was really surprised
you honestly should just like, forget what you saw in e12s
and focus your attention toward either e9s or emerald ex
Yeah, work your way up
9s is primarily just do Brambles and tiles...and the phasers really
i'm not joking or being facetious when I said you're quite literally over a month away from even seeing e12s assuming you started e9s today
this is especially dependent on how much time you spend on savage
and how lucky you are in PF if you don't have your own group
i like to think my static is above average for a casual-midcore, we do 6 hours per week and we're still on e11s
we've been raiding since the start of tier
my static is super casual, we've spent like 4 hours total as a group and we're at the start of 10s
(which is like 5 weeks ago)
9 and 10 are pretty straightforward and set the stage and expectations of the last 2 fights
11 and 12 is where stuff really starts hurting
Damage this tier is damn high
I see... I would normally have a group to try it out with, but my friends are kinda into crafting and house decorating now (we just finished 5.3) and my girlfriend is taking a month break away from the game.. so I'm tryin to go off and see if I can do stuff in party finder

there are some right now on aether
no one will judge you for dying on a fresh prog
but you probably want to watch a video on e9s first
you should at MINIMUM understand the tiles mechanic and the brambles mechanic
you don't have to know exactly how to do them yet, just understand how those mechanics work
Question, is alexander savage / omega savage PF content now or are there still statics for it?
very few players do that synced but there are still statics for it
you're significantly more likely to find unsynced parties for those
There's a few synced communities...There's a few discords in resources
Alright. I didn't realize that the difficulty would be so much. I figured item lv 530 is not that much higher than 510 or 520 gear that I have. It really feels on another level though
the gear is not the problem
Savage is THE high end raids
513 is fine for up to e11s
(outside of ultimates)
You only unlock ultimates after clearing all savage right?
e9s was doable with i500
No
Only the required savage fight for that ultimate
there's literally 3 newbie friendly parties up for e9s right now
jump in one and get your feet wet
I'll probably need to wait til tomorrow. I'm on a EU server
Oh I think I transferred to light like a year and a half ago. Yeah I'm on twintania
NA is full of memes
Cause na is a meme
Anyway just jump in...read the PF description to see what strars they're using
Read the macro if there's one and pick your spot for mechanics
And prepare to die alot
And bang your head against the PF wall
Yeah I had a lot of deaths even with even Titania ex
I mean a lot....
PF I mean
It was kinda cringe sometimes
Well in savage getting hit by something you shouldnt will basically kill you
^about 70% of the time
Or give you a damage down
If you survive
Which will make you want to kill yourself
That's really wild
Sounds like hardcore raids in my last MMO so I'd fit right in
Savage is about the mechanical dance: do the mechanics or die
I was gonna say that my FC's healers are pretty good but even they can't deal with instant death lol
9s is thankfully a decently/full uptime fight if you're smart with melee stuff
^
and doing a fat load of damage
I'll look for a party finder in a little bit for 9s... Just need to watch a video on it.
And what
yea theres some decent guides on each of the savage fights
healers need to be pulling dps too
the key to being a good savage healer is to avoid overhealing and maximizing your own DPS
the less they have to heal the more they can pull
Which leads to faster kills and less mechanics you see and could fuck up
^
avoiding overhealing goes hand in hand with knowing what mechanics are coming out when, how much damage they do, and how much healing/cooldowns you have to deal with it
Hell people are gonna start/have started skipping the big final mechanic of e10s
some overheal cant be avoided (earthly star sometimes/assize) but you wanna avoid most of it
With good dps from everyone
they already have
my bfs static skipped VG 2
I said that
i think the quickest kill week 1 for 9s was like: 9:30 or something?
good gear/dps cuts down the fight a lot
people can kill 9s at 6:20ish now
jesus
thats right after second brambles
is it possible to get the clothes that the clan centurio members in rhalgr's reach wear?
Me, a paladin main, but still has level 80 white mage
Me rn, also questioning if I have been playing white mage wrong this whole time just topping everyone off 24/7 :edgeypaissa:
People dont need to be topped
if they arent dead on the floor you healed enough
Just healed enough
If they can survive the next hit theyre basically at full health already
Isn't that really risky?
Well I guess that's more efficient in trials than dungeons
No
Damage is scripted as FUCK
In EVERYTHING
Once you see the entire fight, you can plan out literally every gcd
And the fight will play out exactly the same
Any scripted variance like in 11s will happen in the same locations
Only the last HP matters
yknow hows theres the of maiming of aiming sets of armor and stuff, whats for tanks
qhats theirs called
Fending
ty
Is it possible to get both masks for the Heavensturn event?
So i uninstalled FF14
And now i wanna reinstall it
I am finding out that the installation can just 'fail', and can also be abysmally slow?
so am i supposed to just... sit down and try to endure the patching until it clears?
Odd question. Is there a text command to toggle voice language?
A VPN tends to solve those issues most of the time.
did the game crash for anyone else
Is VPN legitimately the only solution aside brute forcing it? .x .
i just finished patch 5.4 what should i do now
No. its just the most common one. find a VPN on a free trial and just use it to reinstall. its what i did when I got a new PC.
Well whatever you wanted to do really.
my game crashed and it wont' log back in and there are 105 people in queue in EUROPE and crashes whenever I get back in the game
weird
i dont know if there is any content i should be trying to complete im just lost as what do now really, idk if theres any raids with high end or just nice gear sets i should go for
yeah, I have the same problem rn. No idea why that is
Well the game is rather open in that regard. You can either work towards clearing the current raid tier (Eden 9 to 12) or get some glams or level some other classes or wait for the Ishgard restoration patch thats around the corner so you can do crafter ranking. the world is your oyster.
@icy ether you can try the eden raids, weapon trials, nier alliance raids, etc
is the game on maintenance? I just got dced like 8 times
hmmmm interesting time to make my character look as cool as possible then just need to find some cool glamer to copy lol
Try googling "eorzea collection"
a site for people to post glams
you can get some ideas there
thank you!

is it feasible at all to get that mount from the feast?
i love the fenrir but it would be nice to mix things up a bit
of course. it would be stupid if it was incapable of getting it
hey i just started a couple days ago im just wondering how the loot system in dungeons works
yes
One person opens it for everyone
i just did my first dungeon and no one bothered to open any chests
people probably don't give a shit about that loot
so if no one opens it
People usually just speed through dungeons to get in and out
you may need to go and open it yourself
no one gets the loot
u should open it urself at that level
most ppl doing those dungeons deadass are just there for dailies or to grind for levels
the chests are usually in boss rooms and in side rooms
also how do you leave a positive impression on people?
the campaign and job quests will give you all the gear you need rn tho
ive got a positive impression from one of my random teammates
dps
Those are commendations
no like
You can commend people at the end of the dungeon
how do i give others
There's a notification at thr bottom right after the last boss dies
at least the playstation version
ah i see
Guys I can't get back in the game for some reason.... It's disconnecting me every time I log in and then there's like. 150 ppl queue that I wait for and get dced again π
thanks
Or wherever you put your notifications
how do i check dps
hm?
You need a third party program for that
like is there a way to know how much damage you did in a dungeon
at the level ur playing rn, i wouldn't worry about optimizing damage lol
whats ur class
job
archer
yeahhh ur good
just curious who did most damage thats all
game don't track that
the other 3 pretty much just carried my ass
is this the place to ask for help regarding culinary quests?
i just followed and spammed aoe
thats sorta ur job as dps
follow the tank, spam AoE on mobs, spam ur target combo on the boss
prolly got commended for doing it right
welc. most jobs don't really open up til level 50
thats when you start unlocking meters and you kinda gotta start making decisions and keeping track of things
yeah im just a f2p rn and trying the game out
the first 50 levels are moreso for like, learning how the game works and boss fight mechanics and the like
well your free trial goes up to 60
sooo
you'll get the chance to try out what your class is really about
if you stick with it
I'm trying to find a HQ item
But I dont know how to get it
tried the wiki
but not help atm
anyone know how to get HQ sour red?
you cant
Even though you get the option in the cooking station
to use a HQ version? yes. the option is universal
thanks though
according to what I could find its only a sold item meaning vendors only meaning no HQ stuff
are you on a EU server?
people saying its ddos
housing is a mysterious beast and those good at it are wizards. Its probably something sunk into the floor and you're only seeing the top or...there could be a myriad of options
Is it true that one year has passed since the end of HW? I heard it somewhere.
Time is...a fickle thing
Found it! It's the manor fireplace
lemme guess. embedded into the floor?
Yep
freakin' wizards
I shall become one as well
I learned how to float trees the other day
It was painful
Also, ||Varis|| directly succeeded Solus zos Galvus, right? Making him the second emperor.
all of that should likely be spoilered
No, there is no canonical passage of time
ty!
Ingame references to time remain on a frozen calendar (five years since the Calamity)
But Iβd recommend taking that as a blank cheque to headcanon your own passage of time
ah, I see
dose anyone know how to remove customer marker on map
the red flag? you can right-click it to remove it
yo ive heard that the sahdowbringers job quests are weird?
like you gotta do some special stuff to unlock them?
you have to complete the role quests of your job
is the Loch the last area of SB? Or there is another area like in HW?
healer quests for healer, dps quest for dps etc
It's a class quest, but for a specific role.
it's like job quests, but for all jobs within a role (healer, tank, caster and physical dps iirc)
no class quest/role quest for crafter/gatherer in SB?
there are crafter/gatherer job quests
role quest = tank/healer/physical dps/magical dps
So, Heals, Tanks, Physical DPS and Magical DPS all share the same questlines with eachother
Lochs is the last area iirc.
yes
where do i get those? started shadowbringers yesterday so can i do those rn or do i gotta do em later
look for blue quests near the pendants in crystarium
you need to have tank/healer/physical dps/magical dps lv 70
yeh ofc
and then check the blue quest around the bar
You do have to progress a tiny bit in the MSQ I believe.
aight
when it appears
i'll look around after i'm done with alisaie tyty
will it appear below my msq bar like my job quests did
or nah
I don't believe so.

very convenient
You do have to complete one chain to continue with the MSQ though.
hm?
So Tank, Healer, one of the DPSs
gotchaa
If you do all four you get more story content though.

yo btwww
the replica relic weapon things for shb
i rly like the crownsblade my friend has it
whats the process for getting that fella as a glamour
no replica yet π€ just put the weapon into the glamour dresser
thought relic weapons can't go into the dresser?
how long is the lv70 relic weapon compared to zodiac/anima?
you can put the relic weapon to the dresser hehe
whaaaat
not sure about previous expansion, but for shb
you can put them in
and take them out
Do all of the invalice raids.
hmm I think you gotta finish the MSQ
complete Shadowbringers, complete the Ivalice raids, then go to Kugane
i love the raids that sounds ok
there'll be a blue quest
it's also a pretty decent weapon at i500
Then go to war-land and do war stuff
oh well thats good too
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Resistance_Weapons/Quest this is for full list
good if you don't want to spend money to buy the 510 crafted
it's also sufficient to do emerald ex for the 515
Or go grind out fates in HW.
yeh, just follow the questline ^.^ easy
Considering the next part in the Relic weapons is coming out, Emerald Weapon might be outclassed.
coming out in like four days* I mean
next relic should be 5.45, the one coming in 4 days is 5.41
he misread probably π
that's what i thought
we're at least a month or two from 5.45
the relic weapon is staying i500 until then
Oh I misread.
wait 5.41 is in 4 days?
yeah
Anyone got a good place to power level BLU with a level 80 friend?
I guess I still have time to level blue mage
wherever
i went to azyss la or however that place is spelled
hit big monster get big xp number
you got this
hey may i ask if its important to get high tier matera for gathering or is it important to get materia to suit ishgard ranking gathering? : D
Get a friend, dun pt, u get the first hit and he finish it off
Lvl60 in 2hrs
U can get sticky tongues also, as it gives 4s stun for yr friend to finish off the mob
Buy with scrips, mostly. Maps sometimes give grade 7 crafting materia.
the fish spell is also good since its instacast
so you can run and slap fish and your friend finishes them off
Yeah. There's a place in the northwest island of Azys La, underground, with clockwork whatevers and sprites. Tag mobs with flying sardine, your friend kills them
by the time you're done with the upper floor, the lower floor respawns
izi pizi. I got 14-60 in under an hour.
ohh im asking if i could use a high tier materia for gathering gear instead of ishgard firmamentranking materia
Is there a ishgard ranking materia?
materia suited for ishgard
hi guys, just got to MSQ 5.3 and was wondering if anyone can help first clear Seat of Sacrifice Normal with me
Our que just needs 1 healer/1dps
tyty
Is there a maintenance today?
just light server down

If I were to start on the pixie beast tribe today, how long would it take to reach the rank where I can purchase the mount?
Hey all I was wondering, around what level should I be when I finish ARR?
Like a month
55? like 5 levels over the quest level
Just do all the quests I can everyday right?
yeah
@iron rock remember that if you rank up your pixie reputation today, and did the story quest for pixie, you get to do 3 more before tomorrow, as a rank up bonus
Saikue, if you do daily roulette and what not, your character level could be even higher before you start Heavensward story
If you own Shadowbringers, you can pick up Samurai or Red Mage (they start at lvl 50) to siphon off some of the exp
Nice nice, also one more thing I might be thinking too much about it lol but I was watching that weskeralbe dude and he kept saying something like use [skill] on cooldown. Does that mean I can use the skill again on cooldown or the thing with all my skills on cooldown
does gunbreaker not have a distance closer ability? like the gnb in the trust dungeons?
And I can't wait for samurai lol
I've searched my abilities page and can't find it
@worthy jewel rough divide?
!action rough divide
ahh! thank you!
"Use skill on cooldown" means, in most of the time, this specific ability should be used whenever it is ready, don't wait
How many friends can I party up with if trying to do a full party duty?
The largest party you can make is an Alliance party: 24 players
Oh. Wow.
And can be used to queue for alliance raid (crystal tower, void ark, Ivalice, Nier)
8 player party is the most common, trials and raids are all 8 players
#archived-lore-spoilers @vast torrent
wrong channel woops
well yes but actually no, @sullen phoenix they introduced a 48 man raid into the Bozjan front in I think it was 5.35
Do yall try to do every raid dungeon trial once?
ofc
not the savage stuff necessarily
Everything but savage
Is savage something you can be carried through or does it need all hands on deck
could anyone help a brother out
savage requires everyone to competent
Why's the game crowded today?
wrong channel
what would be the correct one?
light just had some technical difficulties, so it might just be people flowing in after maintenance
Rules me out then
I don't think that the issue has been fully resolved FAQs, I kept dcing from a duty on light
can't join df :( disconnect every time
I'm not on light so idk for sure
like the whole party was disconnecting every 5s
more of a general warning I don't think it's fixed yet
tbh, if you can do your rotation consistently, you're like 1/3rd of the way there
and some of the older savage content can be farmed unsynced
but you'd still need a halfway decent party
^
and by older savage I mean ARR and HW
you still need to do pretty much all the mechanics for SB savage raids
if you want to try hard content, you should do the most recent extremes and see how you like it
I jumped into savage without any ex trial experience during 5.3, and now im at e12s p1.
While its hard, its doable
we're mostly warning you against attempting that shit on Duty finder
did you enable all your duty finder language?

Oh no dw i know id piss people off if i just randomly tried duty finder a savage raid
I play destiny so ik how irritating it is lol
no one who knows savage content does savage content on duty finder
elemental data center in general
is mostly english speaking right
not specific to tonberry and kujata
elemental is still predominately JP
ok kujata it is then
@patent citrus yeah i eventually got it after 40 mins
Do I have to be in stormblood to unlock i400 gear?
you have to complete the main scenario quest "Stormblood"(lvl70) to be able to buy poetic gear from the vendors in rhaglrs reach/kugane, yes
Does Glamour count on the fashion report?
like, could I just glamour the outfit needed on my gear?
there's !daily to see when the daily reset happens, !weekly for weekly reset and !reset to see a list of week/daily resets
Ty so much Kaewryn
yes you can glamour whatever is need for FR and it'll count towards it
!daily
great
decided to try and get back into the game but the download speed is just HORRENDOUS are there any fixes? Scoured the internet but have yet to find a fix
Try a VPN
oh, also, I heard the free trial now goes up to 60 and was wanting to get a friend into it. That true?
yes
hey guys I got a question about gear if anyone can help?
I mean just go ahead and ask it. it IS the questions and help channel
im leveling up culinarian and some of my gear is really low level
is there a way to get the better sets
or only from the quest rewards
Is there a good place to find presets for characters customizations?
other crafters, vendors and certain different* vendors if you're above 50
I have 10 retainers and having to make all of them is x.x
im level 51 culinarian
does that mean I can buy better gear?
or above level 50 on like way of magic
then get some yellow scrips and see what Rowena's vendors have for you
If you "need" an item does it basically take it from everyone else or is there still a chance for other players to get the item?
if the other players are able to roll need on that item, then there's a chance they can get it as well
for gear, they can only roll need on it if its gear they can use as the job they currently are
Okay so I'm not a bad guy for needing monions?
Minions*
since everyone can roll need on those
Thank you
@leaden ginkgo the currency menu (default keybind is ctrl+c or can click on the gil icon)
if the "other" section is greyed out then yeah you likely dont have any
is riding the yellow cock faster than walking?
since that's what yellow/white scrips are under
yes, riding a mount is 100% faster than walking
oh. fk. SMN's egi scales with size?? lalas bahamut is also tiny????
no
okay maybe I need to unlock them first
bahamut has a special command that can adjust its size, large/medium/small
omggg i might actually play smn then. thanks!
it is by default set to medium, but if you set it to small all players bahamuts will be small for you
oh so its based only on your screen? thanks
mhm
the launcher has always been a bit...finky for some people when it comes to download speed
and afaik there's no real way around it
last time i played i had no issues so i'm wondering what's causing it
so i googled a bit and apparently I have to go a place called foundation
im new to this game so im a bit confused hahah
its called "Inscrutable Tastes"
what exactly are you needing scrips for?
can just use vendor gear tbh
while its not the best, its passable for crafting/gathering
I didnt know that was a thing
Can you marry people cross-servers?
no
Is there a wiki page for vendor gear?

there should be a 1-49 vendor in all three major cities
just head to any main city and look for the vendor which caters to "Disciple of Land and Hand" or any variant of that description
ye
Iron thunder is the npc in limsa that sells it
i'm 99% sure i saw a WoL with Moenbryda's hair, anyone know how to get it?
google is giving me nothing
it's a femroe exclusive hairstyle iirc
should be in base character creator without any unlocks
oh man okay, thank you!
its not femroe exclusive
!!!!!
oh rip
no
do you happen to know what it's called or how to unlock?
it's in the base character creator
its a default hairstyle for all but miqo'te and au ra
DAMN
are we getting a relic upgrade for both dow and dol/doh classes by 5.45?
i'm an au ra lol
and viera but viera's weird exception anyway
yes
that fantasia that's been sitting in my pocket looking real nice......
i'm wondering, is smn as hard to master as people make it out to be
my friend straight up just told me not to even try considering i'm sam LMAO
No, itβs not
Itβs not objectively harder than other jobs
Go for it and see how it feels to you
there's a lot of basics to learn about the 2 minute cycle but once you get your bearing it's about as master-able as any other job
or well it's not "a lot", but it's spread across a longer rotation cycle than most jobs

but like ability wise its not like a ridiculous amount right?
no
Hello I have a question about the call back program
hey guys, i wanted to ask if i can switch my job from lancer to samurai
can i do that as a free trial user?
No
no, it's a stormblood job so you need to own base game and the expansion
Samurai is a stormblood job
You can switch to the base game classes as well as the 3 classes from heavensward
For the call back program I've redeemed it got my 7 free days but am I allowed to sub before it's up and still get rewards for me and my biddy
Buddy*
Basically the classes you can't play are :
Samurai, Red mage, Gunbreaker and Dancer
Does Mantra affect Bloodbath? And also dot healing effects?
!action mantra
It works on hots for sure
If you apply the hot during the buff duration
Bloodbath heals a % of damage done so I'm honestly not sure
Am going to my pc so i could test it
Anyone happen to know about my question
if you sub while you have game time on your account then you won't get charged for the sub until the time runs out
Thank you
both with and without mantra bloodbath heals ~20% of damage done so it's not affected
I see, thanks
same deal with warrior and nascent flash, it's just a fixed percentage
so in case im stupid, since it'll be a while until i'll be able to use post 70 AST abilities..
Horoscope is basically only bonus healing for people around you at the time of first cast? You first buff people, and you have 10s to use either of aoe heals, which will trigger the buff, and allow you to heal for additional amout as OGCD?
yes, though horoscope range is decently far
its 20y radius
so they don't have to be like right on top of you
that said, you don't have to use aoe heals to extend/buff it its a decent heal on its own
yeah i noticed, worth to keep in mind it's shorter than other aoes which are 30.
but i wonder tho, do they still need to be in 20y radius for 2nd activation? or only for buff application?
right
also do note that it will automatically heal when it expires
like earthly star yeah, it seems like it
more ogcd heals always good, tho honestly based on the icon i thought it'd be a buff, like offensive buff rather than a heal lol
anyhow, thanks~
hmm anyone know any good mechanics summary guides for raids and such? like, suppose I sorta just rocked up to some random raid via. roulette and I've forgotten all the mechanics, I could pop open the guide and be caught up at a glance
I don't like how guides tend to be so wordy and lack visuals
youtube has a bunch
common guide maker is Missteq
but there are a myriad of others
I don't want to watch a youtube video before fights though
like, I genuinely have the memory of a goldfish
yep
o_O
well
can someone tell me how to achieve this? I've seen it in an M house
I'm interested in text guides that aren't long
and that's kinda exactly my complaint lol
well if its normal stuff you can just fumble blind
without issue
if its savage/extreme. you really should read a detailed guide
yeah, I haven't touched those yet, so I'll deffs prepare much better than winging it
but yeah, I'm kinda sick of never remembering any mechanics for anything and dying constantly
has links to text and video guides for the end-game stuff

you always have to practice even when you've read the guide 1000 times
saving this to my favourites bar
not aware of anything text related though for dungeons/normal raids/24mans, but like silver said most of those can be done blind for the most part
though i do understand the frustration of dying constantly
its never fun but pattern recognition is a big part of XIV encounters

14 does repeat mechanics a lot
I feel like for certain fights, knowing the mechanics ahead of time can be really advantageous, like I think the first fight of dun scaith?
that one absolutely sucks if you forget to run for the crystal walls for example
or forget the other big pushback
right but 24 man alliance raids are the perfect spot to turn the brain off
they're not made to be overly difficult
fair
yeah, despite my constantly dying (and I guess everyone else constantly dying), the fights still succeed
on one of my alliance raids 2 teams wiped and we still cleared the boss so you know. lol
everything tied to story in some way, basically everything except extreme/savage is more than doable blindly, even if you make mistakes.
hard you wouldnt not knowing what's exactly awaits you.
I still like trying to optimize what I'm doing tho, even in casual content
also don't be too afraid to ask in alliance/party chat for mechanics
but as Kael said, even as new player i can see that ALOT of mechanics are being repeated, and mixed diffrently together, so overally it's not really hard to be somewhat prepered for next dungeons, as it'll mostly be same thing mechanic wise, with 1/2 new things at best sometimes.
people usually are willing to offer up mechanics
yeah, i've met a nice amout of people already who were just typing what's general idea when they see saplings, which is nice
I actually do constantly ask for mechanics refreshes and people have been helpful, yeah
in the end if you want to improve rotation you first need to mesmorize boss pattern
