If you want 1mil then try Tsukuyomi or Shinryu, Tsu's sells for 2 mil minimum, it'll take a while tho, Shinryu's sells kinda faster but is like 300k iirc
warped nest
Treasure Map is an high level activity where you form a party to go around the map opening maps (an item you purchase from market board)
The loot is random ish, but it is worthwhile doing it
halcyon radish
I certainly haven't heard of this or probably gotten far enough to

There's different types of maps, too.

robust crow
duo? on ex?
does that boss not have an enrage
but anyway it's easy on EX, look at your debuff and go to the opposite side
bring your meteor and land it on the small side
when the stage becomes 1 color the meteor you dropped will be the safe zone

hi all, i used the 30 day free trial a couple years ago, but never got a character beyond lvl 30. i'd like to get back into the game and level someone up to 30. do i have to pay to play? (sorry for dumb question)
proud willow
by 30 day free, you mean you own the base game (A Realm Reborn)? If so, you can't play that for free
from the Twitch Prime promotion for example
leaden ginkgo
honestly i'm not sure. in WoW i could play for free until a certain level and i was wondering if thats the same for this game?
proud willow
Nope
there is an unlimited duration trial that caps at level 60, with some social/party restrictions
but you can't revert to the trial after you've bought the game, even if you're still below 60
it's strictly a trial for people who haven't bought the game, not an actual "play for free" kind of thing
leaden ginkgo
thank you for explaining! i really appreciate it
halcyon radish
For me, I had a bug where my account was stuck in the "you've used up your free trial or converted your account to a service account already and therefore are ineligible to play the trial game, please purchase the game" type of state
even though I didn't buy the game or game time ever
so I had to buy it
little swift
the free trial was limited duration a couple years ago
fallen niche
when the stage becomes 1 color the meteor you dropped will be the safe zone
I know about that, I was talking about Bright and Dark blade.
leaden ginkgo
Does anyone know where 510 BLM green gear drops?

Does anyone know where 510 BLM green gear drops?
Nowhere, you gotta craft it or buy it

leaden ginkgo
i see
fallen niche
510 gear can be looted from eden9-12 once a week
that's blue though
robust crow
as if there is much of a difference
robust crow
the sense of quality in ff14 isn't the same as in other mmorpgs
the i510 gear from e9-12 is very nearly the same as the i510 crafted
most players aren't going to overmeld the crafted
cosmic reef
Green is craftes
robust crow
but if you do overmeld it then it's likely better
cosmic reef
Colors are representative of where they come from
Blue is Raid Trials Alliance raids Tomes
robust crow
without overmeld, you'd just want to pick the pieces with your best substats
cosmic reef
Green is Dungeon and Crafted
White is Vendor/Drops
Pink is Garbage Random Stat ARR stuff
And Purple is relic
upper pendant
what is easier to pick up and learn, blm or smn?
cosmic reef
To learn or master?
robust crow
blm is easier at first but harder to optimize
cosmic reef
Like BLM has a simple mechanic.
upper pendant
Learn like- know how to use well
robust crow
summoner
upper pendant
Raidable
upper pendant
I'm guessing blm is very glass cannony right?
cosmic reef
But it stays steady afterward
little swift
people are overstating summoner's difficulty
cosmic reef
Every DPS is glass
robust crow
summoner is easier to play well than black mage
little swift
outside of trance phases its very straightforward
cosmic reef
BLM is hardest because you have VERY long cast times
robust crow
it's difficult to play black mage well
upper pendant
got it
robust crow
also there's nothing like a "glass cannon" in ff14
cosmic reef
So to play it well you need DEEP knowlege on a fight
little swift
And you don't wanna move
this is a disingenuous statement since all jobs should avoid moving if you need to
robust crow
all classes have about the same durability in raids save for tanks
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
it doesn't matter if they're tank healer or dps just try not to move when you don't need to
upper pendant
I'm leaning more towards summoner cos they res too right?
robust crow
black mages are actually "tankier" than red mage or summoner due to having a self-mitigation cooldown
cosmic reef
this is a disingenuous statement since all jobs should avoid moving if you need ...
More than most. Like slidecasting can only get you so far.
And they have CDs that place circles they wanna sit in
patent citrus
can i check my savage waymark on normal? -_-
robust crow
you could use titan on summoner to be "tankier" than black mage but no self-respecting summoner is going to do that unless there's some special circumstance
little swift
no its not the same instance
patent citrus
i can't check it outside the instance and i forgot my waymark that my static use last week
nooooo
ok ty ty
cosmic reef
Like honestly i dislike SMN more than BLM
SMN (at least prebahamut summon) makes you feel like you nees to weave using the petskills
And that's not my play style
I'm fine with weaving
robust crow
i play all 3 casters, black mage is definitely the hardest to me
i have to try a lot harder on BLM to pull more DPS than red mage
robust crow
but if I flex 90% of my brainpower I can definitely outdps my rdm
if I only want to use 10% of my brain then I play rdm
easy to pull high damage with low effort
cosmic reef
Yeah. RDM is for brain off time
Flip the brain switch from the on to the off position
And look at the pretty colors
little swift
this veering into discussion territory
upper pendant
wait rdm is easy?
little swift
rdm has a very low skill floor
quite easy to pick up if you understand how their spells work
it all plays around
!trait dualcast
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
little swift
so you channel the shorter cast spells
robust crow
red mage and dancer are generally considered the easiest classes to perform well on
little swift
and then dualcast the longer cast ones
upper pendant
Oooooooo
little swift
once you charge up your black and white mana bars you burn them on a melee burst combo
little swift
the choice is made easier by the fact that you can play them all
robust crow
black mage suffers from feeling pretty miserable while leveling
upper pendant
that is true i guess
little swift
and that red mage isn't available right away
robust crow
black mage doesn't feel like black mage until level 60
upper pendant
I mean I finished the game storywise so I can try everything
Honestly I think I'll go summoner
robust crow
also summoner doesn't get summon bahamut until like 70
not a big deal but their biggest flashy shit won't come until later
upper pendant
okie, and no mage can self heal right?? don't know if dnc counts as mage
robust crow
red mage can self heal
little swift
red mage has vercure
upper pendant
ok
robust crow
for quite a bit actually
little swift
it scales with intelligence
robust crow
red mage is the only dps with a reasonably good heal
little swift
but its not worth usually because of using gcds to heal
upper pendant
i wouldn't that to have that burden on a raid--
robust crow
summoner has a heal but it's straight up trash
robust crow
red mage also has the best access to raise in the whole game
even better than healers themselves
summoners can rez too but they only get one quick one
they have to hardcast raise if they don't have swift cast
red mage can throw out like 4 raises back to back
robust crow
their dualcast mechanic makes raise instant cast
so they can cast a standard 2.5 second spell and then instant cast verraise
as many times as they have mana

what purpose does getting the disciples of the hand classes serve for drg, I feel like most of the gear that I get I get from doungeons. Will the main source of my gear going forward (im lvl 52 drg) be from crafting them?

very few people craft their own gear ever
the advantages with doh/dol lie in crafting gear for other people and making money

your gear between level 50-70 is largely going to come from poetics, quest rewards, and dungeon drops

Money-making can be done even at semi-low crafting levels
lunar schooner

obsidian patio
You won’t believe the number of sub-level 50 furniture, leve items, and glamour you can make for steady profit
lunar schooner
should i try and keep them at my level?
wheat plume
Money-making can be done even at semi-low crafting levels
Can lvl 60 crafters make millions in days?

my personal suggestion is to get them to 20
then wait until beating heavensward
then you can bum rush all of them to 60, 70 80 whatever through ishgard restoration
lunar schooner
oh sweet
robust crow
aside from that, you can level with leves too

the materials to craft these weapons are worth like 100-200k

it's one of those things that you can't just look up on gamer escape and call it a day since it's like, a month old

it's doable with basically every shb primal weapon too

the top 5 are the extreme primal weapons

No

oh
faint flare
Yhe data centre choice mostly matters
little swift
vortex: garuda
mighty thunder-: ramuh
tremor: titan
inferno: ifrit
m-word mog-:king mog
faint flare
As that determines the pool of servers
robust crow
oh soi this doesnt rly matter too much?
the thing that does matter is being on a preferred server
trim dust
are preferred servers always preferred
marble dome
you get big pp exp boost on preferred servers
robust crow
no, they swap around every so often
trim dust
or does it change here and there
robust crow
generally once per patch cycle or so
marble dome
no they change every major patch
obsidian patio
They change with patch updates
faint flare
The buff you get from them lasts minimum 90days
marble dome
current preferred
faint flare
No
obsidian patio
So the upcoming 5.41 patch may change them around
faint flare
Transferring doesn't give the buff

faint flare
People primarily hang out in Limsa or the current endgame hub
marble dome
4 days
faint flare
We have a minor patch Tuesday
obsidian patio
5.41 is next Tuesday
robust crow
i'm going to mention it one last time
faint flare
The buff isn't necessary, it primarily helps levelling alt jobs
robust crow
i highly highly suggest you go to a preferred server for the double exp boost
because it applies to EVERYTHING
all your crafting classes too
trim dust
but its in 4 days
marble dome
ok just remember you wont get big exp boost
robust crow
you retain the buff for 90 days
faint flare
You keep it for 90days
robust crow
even if the server isn't preferred anymore
marble dome
but if a server becomes preferred, and you already made a character, you dont get buff
trim dust
what happens when the server becomes preferred again
oh ok
ill ggo sargatanas then i guess
obsidian patio
A server becoming preferred again does nothing for people already on it
robust crow

If i have a Critical Hit Materia and an Armor piece, someone else can mend them together?
Is that how it works? "mending"

If i have a Critical Hit Materia and an Armor piece, someone else can mend them ...
if i understand your question right, yes other players can meld materia for you
leaden ginkgo
Oooh okay, thank you
marble dome
melding
leaden ginkgo
Yes, melding haha
marble dome
you can do it at npc too

The current best armor is the 520 armor? and where would I go for that NPC?

How do I unequip a weapon if I don't have another one?

The current best armor is the 520 armor? and where would I go for that NPC?
current BiS is 530

uhhh do clans matter when u pick a race
glacial isle
No
faint flare
Nothing in the character creation, outside of starting class, matters
Its all RP fluff

also minor dialogue can change depends on what race you are in certain quests. But again, it is just fluff.
trim dust
oh ok
bc theres like seekers of the sun and keepers of the moon n im like uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
naive tartan
It's all lorestuffs
The sub-races have different traits like skin colors or features like fangs
plain python
also clans affects some of your appearance customization. Like Au'ra has a clan with light-colored horns, while another with dark-color.
glacial isle
Hyur and their (lack of) facial hair
naive tartan
Sunseekers = Generally tanned skin tones + Cat slit eyes
Moonkeepers = Generally paler skin tones + Fangs
naive tartan
Mooncats have a couple darker tones though
plain python
it is all about if you like slit pupils or not 😛
naive tartan
I am still mad we don't get fangies

iirc sun seeker is the only cat race that has an option without facial tattoos

is that in order @marble dome ?
naive tartan

thx. I never know how good the drops from these maps are

dragonskin, gazelleskin, and zonureskin are the only ones that drop portals
alexandrite maps only give alexandrite
theif's maps can only be looted from gazelleskin, and have a special portal
halcyon radish
how do I find all the blue quests I missed?

Usually 1 solo map and 1 8man map after 50

8man map after 50

yeah
glacial isle
where do dragonskin maps drop from anyway?
faint flare
60 nodes
marble dome
mining/botany
glacial isle
ah
marble dome
or fishing if you have snagging on
faint flare
They all come from their respective level range node
Randomly shows either the solo map or the 8man one
marble dome
both the solo and 8man level 60 maps sell well since they can spawn an s rank in the hinterlands
glacial isle
not that i can sell them
do the chests drop decent stuff?
marble dome
various minions, exclusive crafting items, anima weapon items
faint flare
Occasionally some housing items

What's the minimum MP cost for flare again?

Some of the more rare materials can sell pretty high, albeit rather slowly.

You need to wait for off times/late at night
trim dust
whys that
gloomy ice
It’s still peak hours in some parts of NA
faint flare
Because thats when the lock usually lifts
trim dust
i mean like why is there a lock
faint flare
The character lock is lifted based on number of people online
So servers aren't overwhelmed
gloomy ice
Each server can only hold so many people at once
trim dust
oh ok
gloomy ice
If too many are on, it doesn’t allow new characters to be made to allow the login queue to move faster

What are Sophia's (normal/hard) important mechanics?
faint flare
Dont fall off the edge when she tilts the arra
She drops meteors into the scales outside the area to tip it
The tilt is negateable with arms length/Surecast
Otherwise standard "dont get hit, dont stand infront of what looks bad"
glacial isle
surecast has an actual purpose
faint flare
Surecast uses pops up alot more than people think
glacial isle
in a trial?
open ember
surecast is a knockback mitigation
like arms length but it doesnt work on mobs like arms length
glacial isle
i just assumed it doesn't work on anythimg important, much like how you can't just put the boss to sleep
faint flare
It works on like 99% of knockbacks
open ember
you dont really use it much in ARR and HW stuff
used more in SB and SHB
some fight will literally require it
or else you die
faint flare
Other fights use it to keep uptime and just delete mechanics

Walking makes your jumps go less distance and thats it

Sprinting
Running
Jump from standing
sprint walking
walking
are those all?

peloton + peloton walk, I think

Can I use peloton + sprint to get faster?
slate arrow
no

what happens if I use both?

sprint takes priority

is sprint faster ?

mount is the fastest/furthest jump, and mount walk is in the middle

Only the starting classes + Rogue have hunting logs
Expansion jobs don’t have them since the hunting log is more of a carryover from 1.0

Are tanks or healers usually more in demand?
obsidian patio
Both are pretty equal for the most part
Though sometimes it can depend on the specific endgame content
true marsh
Alright, I guess I'll try out both. I heard tanking is kind of boring in ffxiv though.
obsidian patio
Warrior and Dark Knight have pretty simple rotations, so if you want a more involved/button heavy rotation at endgame there’s Paladin and Gunbreaker
true marsh
Okay, I'll take a look at Paladin and Gunbreaker later on. Thanks for the help.

Hello, I am new to FF XIV and I have played 1-10 the main storyline as an archer and when I got my first instance (killing a big tree with npc companions) I somehow dont see a main story anymore....how do I tell if I have a main story quest still by chance?

By default you should have a UI at the top right of your screen that shows your current or next MSQ quest. Clicking it should show the location of it.

!faq worldpick
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
Individual server population isn’t a big factor due to most activities being cross-world
Also SE doesn’t show off world populations with any real precision, besides labelling worlds with less than average players as Preferred to give incentive to make characters there.

My server is always full..always have to wait in que
Cant believe how populated this game is
Considering it was released in 2013 or smtn

Most straightforward tank
now make sure you know how to tank lol

I’d say that goes towards Warrior or Dark Knight with their simplicity.
Gunbreaker definitely has more of a “DPS” feel with their rotation.

Warrior and Dark Knight have subtilities, Gunbreaker doesnt

You are basically what determines the fate of the pt
Wym false? You are
If you die, dps die
If dps die, you cant kill, healer dies too
Tank dies=everyone dies

Really?

When you die, healer can raise you

Even in savages?

If you don’t need the gear, go to the “other” section and click the button that shows only recently added items
twilit arch
@pearl perch if you don't need the gear, can buy crafting materials to see.
thorn totem
You are indirectly stating that, tanks are pointless as long as you have healers in pt, cuz they can keep everyone alive including dps and each other?
timid geyser
That's not what I said
twilit arch
that's not what they said at all, one tank dying doesn't equal a wipe and tbh even if both tanks die its possible to make a comeback from it
timid geyser
yeah lol
twilit arch
one healer keeping whatever dps is currently got aggro alive while the second one raises the tanks
thorn totem
And if both tank and healer dies? Could you make a comeback from that?
pearl perch
well I would like to get gear but I already got me the ilvl520 items with the stats I want and will just dungeon gear from there until I reach Eden Promise as noted in previous advice here
