[patent citrus]

ty ty, i had the feeling

[remote lintel]

yes @kind eagle

[patent citrus]

that it wasn't useful like other classes 😂

[kind eagle]

So i cant follow sam rotation then

I need pop tincture and 3rd eye

For deepshadow

[remote lintel]

!faq samrotation

[obsidian patio]

Potion is optional and really only used in savage content when you need the extra damage

[zinc orbit]

Samurai Rotation Guide

[kind eagle]

Early cast

[remote lintel]

you shouldnt be double weaving tincture anyway

theres a delay on it

[kind eagle]

I pop tincture then hakaze 3rd eye and dk what the skill called

[kind eagle]

Oh so i just spam it

[remote lintel]

if youre using tincture before you start your rotation there shouldnt be a problem

unless your ping sucks

[empty pecan]

If i abandon the final step of the 80 relic do i keep the Bitter Memories i have in my inventory?

[kind eagle]

People do pop early tincture as sam?

[remote lintel]

its not optimal

[kind eagle]

My ping doesnt suck

But comp suck

[little swift]

yes

[nimble charm]

Are zodiac weapons worth?

[little swift]

for glamour?

[nimble charm]

At all I mean because they don't look Rly strong compared to other Lv 50+ stuff

[faint flare]

They're only for glamour

They're completely not worth it on a functional level

Way too grindy to max out

[nimble charm]

Seems like wasted one more day 😑😂

[little swift]

its a 4fun4 time investment

[faint flare]

They're the best weapons at 50 but completely impractical from a time standpoint

Just get ironworks and be done

[opaque zenith]

i thought we get a bird to ride around level 15-20, i'm 24 and still have not got from main scenerio line.

[patent citrus]

msq level, not job level ^.^

and it's msq level 20

[nimble charm]

Idk what Ironworks means but I'll look for it..
It was boring doing the main scenario all day long (Lv 60 quest now) so I thought tryin to get this weapon but when it's only for glamour I just wasted time 😂

[patent citrus]

Ironworks is a BiS equipment from ARR ^.^ you can access those by talking to an npc in mor dhona

you can buy the equipment with poetics tome that you get from running duty roulette

[tame raven]

Hello everyone! I've been playing for about two weeks on PC. But I keep getting this error over and over after a few hours of gameplay: "Unable to complete version check update (30426) (19900)(2)". I have reinstalled the game twice and it seems to work. But after some time, it pops again. I dont want to reinstall every 2 or 3 days... what could it be?

[opaque zenith]

3rd dungeon. i must have missed something then.

[nimble charm]

Lv 60 gear I bought from market have better stats.. BTW quest progress Lv 60 but I am Lv 71 maybe I just should wait for 70?

[faint flare]

Then buy Shire in Idyllshire/ishgard

With poetics

I270

[finite bronze]

Are potions and ether worth hotbaring

[faint flare]

You get the ability to get a mount after joining a grand company

[finite bronze]

I got 3 free spots on my w hotbar

[faint flare]

No. Healing and ethers aren't worth

[patent citrus]

dmg boost pot? yeah

oo that pot

if you want hehe, not compulsory

[faint flare]

The only real potions used are damage potions that increase main stats

[finite bronze]

What is optimal items for a whm for those 3 spots

Return and etc I can do via options

[faint flare]

Potions that increase Mind if you want a pot

Maybe food

For the xp buff

[patent citrus]

you filled out all 30 hotbars??

[crimson gale]

does anybody have the graph with all class damages?

[finite bronze]

Can I mass buy it off MP?

[patent citrus]

or you only use 3 hotbars?

[faint flare]

Yes

[finite bronze]

Only use 3 for w controller setup

[patent citrus]

ah sorry

[finite bronze]

L2, r2, l2 l2, r2r2, l2 r2 and r2 l2

Would you recommend any particular food @faint flare

For me to mass buy

[faint flare]

While levelling just buy something cheap

[finite bronze]

I see lots of food

[faint flare]

For the xp buff

[finite bronze]

I'm lvl 70 in lvl 18 zones I don't get xp anymore

😂

[faint flare]

Then dont really bother, or just use another job

[finite bronze]

Can't acess higher lvl dungeons without msq i guess then?

[faint flare]

Nope

Your level means shit

[finite bronze]

Thats a lil frustrating

Thanks

[faint flare]

Story locks literally everything

[leaden ginkgo]

Question to PS4 pro players, do you guys have draw quality on or off ?

[finite bronze]

I just got retainers

I'm told their life's gold

😂

[faint flare]

Thats why rushing or jumping levels aren't worth it on the first job

[leaden ginkgo]

Does it having it ON affect performance

[finite bronze]

This is a ten year old game with some visual revamps. I'm sure you won't fry

Especially if u ever ps5

[patent citrus]

ps4 pro should be fine hmm but not sure

[leaden ginkgo]

I just bought my PS4 pro

Lol

It’s my FFXIV machine

[finite bronze]

I'm sure your fine this game works on my i5 laptop

And my i7 laptop

[patent citrus]

huh he's talking about ps4 pro not laptop

i'm confused

[finite bronze]

Laptop are integrated and suck for gaming

If it runs on a i5 it'll work on a pro

[leaden ginkgo]

I’ll ask my question again lol, just in cases So i have a PS4 Pro and it has the option “Draw Quality” On/Off

Does anyone know if having it on ON decrease the performance

Like by a lot lol

[finite bronze]

Turn it on, if it fucks you up and lose fps turn it off.

It shouldn't lol

[leaden ginkgo]

I was watching this video and it got me thinking maybe it isn’t worth it lol

[patent citrus]

I would choose normal hehe, but subjective

[finite bronze]

Maybe I'm blind but the draw from high and normal has no change lol

Just minor color depth

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah I’ll just leave it on OFF

Not worth 10fps lol

[finite bronze]

I play on regular ps4 haven't had issue with 40 lol

Even with high ur better then me 😫

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean it’s still playable I’m sure

[tropic notch]

https://gyazo.com/ca8017ace80d166810aeab5851c703b6

can someone help me

I'm logged in and I see my char on mog but the world isn't showing up

neither is marbolo which is where i'm trying to go

trying to go primal famfrit > crystal marbolo

[patent citrus]

you skipped step 1?

[tropic notch]

the world I want isn't there

[finite bronze]

If buying a mount is a character or account better value

[glacial isle]

is there a stat or buff that buffs drop rate from defeated enemies?

[patent citrus]

I think most mount is account hehe

[tropic notch]

:{

[obsidian patio]

Only one skill, which is mug from ninja

[finite bronze]

Can I use mounts asap or have unlock msq

[obsidian patio]

And even then it’s not that great

[patent citrus]

unlock mail I think

[obsidian patio]

Need to do story for mounts

[finite bronze]

When I get

I'm on lvl 18 thancred

[obsidian patio]

Level 20 in the story

[finite bronze]

Ok thanks

[glacial isle]

huh. at least these sheep drop wool by the bucketload

[obsidian patio]

@tropic notch was your current character made on a preferred world?

[tropic notch]

Idk...

it was primal famfrit

my friend just did the swap today tho 😛

[obsidian patio]

How new is your character?

[tropic notch]

not

probably over a year

[obsidian patio]

Does the world you want to transfer to already have a character on it? And if so are you on the entry subscription?

[tropic notch]

nope this is my only char

https://gyazo.com/160c57a13de3d5504c22cefef3e501a9

[obsidian patio]

Hmm, try choosing a different world as your destination and then selecting famfrit as the home world you’re transferring from.

And then see if the first menu has the world you want to move to.

[tropic notch]

I selected goblin and the 2nd option still has nothing

[raven sage]

Are you logged into the game?

[twilit arch]

you did hit confirm, right?

[tropic notch]

oh that worked

malboro still isn't there I think

OH REFRESHING WORKED!

[novel sonnet]

am i just an idiot.. or is the only way to buy a house is from FC?

[patent citrus]

what to use during ice phase (aoe) -_-

still blizzard?

[warped nest]

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

[patent citrus]

sorry, i'm lv 31

[warped nest]

Blizzard II

[little swift]

fill with blizzard 2 or thunder 2

[patent citrus]

ah right

ok ty ty ^.^

[novel sonnet]

does this just show the best skills to use with each or for most dps?

[patent citrus]

I thought thunder 2 damage is a little

then i hover to fire 2 damage is also small haha

[warped nest]

Thunder II is damage over time

[patent citrus]

i was comparing thunder 2 to fire 1

abd blizzard 1

[warped nest]

But under your Thundercloud Proc, your thunder II is pretty meaty as AOE

Thunder II is AOE

!action thunder II

[zinc orbit]

**Thunder II** : lvl 26 THM BLM (400 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(3.0 second base cast time)

Deals lightning damage with a potency of 30 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Lightning damage over time
Potency: 30
Duration: 12s
Additional Effect: 3% chance after each tick that the next Thunder spell of any grade will add its full damage over time amount to its initial damage, have no cast time, and cost no MP
Duration: 18s
Only one Thunder spell-induced damage over time effect per caster can be inflicted upon a single target.

Powered by XIVAPI

[warped nest]

@novel sonnet yeah, BLM gains different traits at different level, and they slightly affected the practical potency of each skills

Hence a rotation guide for leveling BLM

[novel sonnet]

ahh, im just main Summoner right now, so I was just curious, and it says SMN is DPS magic but i think im lacking in some areas lol

[patent citrus]

yeh np ^.^

just not used to the fact dot being a filler

[novel sonnet]

just started last week and im 57 smn

[warped nest]

Would you like to watch a leveling Summoner rotation guide for budding players?

[glacial isle]

why does the option to turn this in not appear?

[novel sonnet]

@warped nest sure

[nimble rain]

hi, I'm thinking of level armorer to make my own armor (as a tank) when new patch drop, how long would it take to max level and would it be cheaper to do that instead just buy them off the marketboard a month after new patch release?

[warped nest]

https://youtu.be/XzBuQcfUdzU

[patent citrus]

i removed blizzard 2 from my hotbar 😂, is there any occasion where it's useful

[novel sonnet]

@warped nest ty

[obsidian patio]

You’re looking at the wrong crafter

[faint flare]

Also Akhmorning.com for full indepth summoner info

[obsidian patio]

The menu you has wants rope

[warped nest]

Check the image I linked

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

[warped nest]

Please, read the image

[patent citrus]

how big is the aoe, my healer rarely get that close

[glacial isle]

Rope and Cloth are the WVR items

[warped nest]

Regarding leveling crafters, you need to know that crafters are reliant on each other. For example, to craft an armor, you might need fabric from Weaver, leather from leather worker, glue or catalyst from alchemist

[obsidian patio]

I think it’s because you’re too low level then

[faint flare]

Cause you're not lc40 yet

[glacial isle]

ah

[faint flare]

You're only 36

[warped nest]

So if you level just an armorer, you will be spending a lot of gils buying processed materials from other crafters

[nimble rain]

so it cheaper just to buy it off market board for 100k gil then

[warped nest]

Therefore, if you are genuinely interested in committing to crafting, we will recommend leveling them all, so it saves you Gil in the long run

[patent citrus]

i totally missed the fact that the lower part of that image is the AoE section 🤦‍♂️

I thought further down is for lv 80 😂

[warped nest]

A month after the new recipe drop.... Ummm... Yes they will be cheaper, but I don't know if it can be 100k cheap to be honest

[fresh marten]

if i play new game+ do i get to earn the other "optional" reward armor pieces?

or can u only play the story

[warped nest]

That guide is strictly for leveling, it is not endgame rotation

[warped nest]

Most of those came from crafting recipe

Gears in coffers can be obtained too

[obsidian patio]

NG+ is strictly for reliving the story

No items or EXP is given

[warped nest]

There are no permanent missable in XIV

[obsidian patio]

All the gear from the story has alternate sources

[fresh marten]

and if i just wanna get the armor coffers back

when can i get them

without new game +

[nimble rain]

well I just bought the crafted ilv510 gear for around 100k a piece

[obsidian patio]

Do you have any specific gear in mind?

[fresh marten]

the lv 50 set

for summoner

[patent citrus]

you need allied seals for that I think 🤔

[warped nest]

@nimble rain cool

[fresh marten]

what are allied seals?

[warped nest]

The i90 set?

[patent citrus]

oh nvm https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Summoner's_Horn

you must farm the antique gears, you can solo undersized party these dungeon 🤔

[warped nest]

I thought those need the dungeon drop, then traded with NPC in Mor Dhona

Yeah, yeah

And to make them dyeable, you need to craft the augmentation kit thingy (don't remember the full name)

Or buy them from marketboard

[novel sonnet]

Just curious about addle, is it really only useful in PVP battles? since it just would weaken the dmg of a mage/spell caster type enemy

[faint flare]

No

[warped nest]

It is useful for high end raid

[faint flare]

Its very useful

Bosses do magic damage

At timrs

Primarily room wides

[warped nest]

!action Addle

[zinc orbit]

**Addle** : lvl 8 THM ACN BLM SMN RDM BLU (90.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Lowers target's intelligence and mind by 10%.
Duration: 10s

Powered by XIVAPI

[faint flare]

Everything has stats, even mobs

[warped nest]

Basically, anything that's looks like magic, is probably magic

[patent citrus]

can you even use addle for pvp?

[novel sonnet]

^ true true

[faint flare]

It basically reduces all magic damage for the duration

[patent citrus]

i don't remember hmm

[obsidian patio]

Addle doesn’t exist in PVP, or if it does it’s a separate version entirely

PVE and PVP toolkits are completely separate

[novel sonnet]

ahhh i haven't even explored pvp properties of this game yet its heckin MASSIVE

[warped nest]

PvP in XIV is not its strongest appeal

[patent citrus]

hehe teleport yourself to wolve's den and use the pvp action button ^.^

yeah and that ^

useful to level your alts the "daily frontline challenge"

[finite bronze]

When us the next ff mmo starting

Is

[dense hound]

PvP in a game like this scares me.

[patent citrus]

no announcement yet ^.^

[finite bronze]

Is it true healers OP in pvp

[warped nest]

Not OP

Just damn near impossible to 1v1

[obsidian patio]

If it’s 1v1 and the other person doesn’t know how to burst then kinda

But they crumble when you know how to burst and CC

[warped nest]

/\

Like actual fighting game, even if you play single Job for PvP exclusively, you still need to understand what everyone else have for their tool kit

[finite bronze]

So I'm a 1v1 god

Now I can 1v1 me bruv

[faint flare]

And there's barely any 1v1

Its all team based

[obsidian patio]

Again, if the other person knows what they’re doing you can die fast

[potent shale]

can you participate in Ishgard Fate in other servers?

🤔

[faint flare]

No

[patent citrus]

can't enter firnament in another world

[faint flare]

They explicitly made that change after the initial addition of ishgard restoration

Because people were blocking people who lived on that world from joining

[potent shale]

oh wow thank you

just sending a shout in cactuar to let other people know if they have friends in Midgar

[frozen girder]

\

Can I condense that in any way?

I just barely make the requirements

[tropic notch]

between red mage, dark knight, and gunbreaker which one is probably the easiest

[manic flare]

gunbreaker

then dark knight

then red mage

but they are all rather straightforward

[tropic notch]

mmm is tanking in late game stuff particularly hard?

[manic flare]

also note that red mage is not a tank

[tropic notch]

ik

[manic flare]

not really. u just more tools to work with

[tropic notch]

I initally played tank because fast queues but then I saw DK and gunbreaker

[little swift]

reply what are your stats

[frozen girder]

The states are in the pic

At the top

Stats*

[obsidian patio]

I see you using Muscle Memory at the start but not taking advantage of the progress buff

That’s an initial improvement you can do

Also at 72 you have Groundwork, a very powerful progress increaser

[little swift]

do you have manipulation?

[patent citrus]

play what you like ^.^ you can do it

no matter how hard your class is, if you keep improving you'll get good at it

most important thing is you enjoy while playing it

[warped nest]

I would say that all combat jobs aren't difficult to understand

[obsidian patio]

So starting off with something like Muscle Memory > Groundwork can be a big boost

[warped nest]

And their combat rotation are put together with clear logic

[little swift]

mume groundwork finishes her craft actually

[obsidian patio]

Final appraisal then!

Might be a good use of it

[warped nest]

So once you understand their skills and abilities, and how they are put together, you can play any combat job well

[little swift]

i need to know if they have manip

@frozen girder did you do your class quests yet for manipulation?

[frozen girder]

No

[faint flare]

Get on it immediately

Manipulation is extremely strong

[obsidian patio]

This works too, but why was mine dif?

[warped nest]

Level difference

Channy ver is level 77

Yours is lvl 72

[little swift]

oh i see you still have have yourself at 72

yah

it still works at 76 btw

[warped nest]

Even with the same stat, recipe can become easier or harder when you are over, on, or under level

[little swift]

@frozen girder i don't want to ping you every time but you don't read this if we don't

[opaque zenith]

ok, now i definitely know i missed something. level 27, teamed up with Thrancred in Drybone, and I still have not gotten any riding mount. the MSQ is all i have done.

[faint flare]

Its a blue quest

From your grand company

[frozen girder]

You get the mount after you go to a dif city

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

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

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

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

'Can I make my mount faster?'

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

[manic flare]

@opaque zenith did you join a grand company?

[opaque zenith]

because that quest is locked at level 30

how do you earn Skyward Points as a DoH?

need more level means his job level is not enough

I think?

[jovial tide]

Is mustadio's grid attack pattern the same each time?

hand does crafter collectables

land gathers stuff from diadem

[jovial tide]

Some of these people are running to the correct tiles as if on instinct

I take a few seconds to kind of comprehend what the aoes will look like

[glacial isle]

I dont think low level items gice points

[glacial isle]

[faint flare]

Even lv80 non experts give small amount with expert giving the most

yeah, it has to suitable with your level

you can't keep handing in lv 1 stuffs as lv 80 hehe

How can I make my retainer samurai?

[manic flare]

@opaque zenith you msq level is level 19

[faint flare]

So you kbow those spots are never safe

[manic flare]

you aren't progressed far enough into the game

to get a mount yet

[opaque zenith]

i just got retainer ability, yet do not know where that is

[patent citrus]

level any class to lv 50 and change job to samurai @queen yoke

[opaque zenith]

well i can not do this quest because i can not turn it in

[raven sage]

Your msq is locked because you didn't do what it's tell you to do

[patent citrus]

you can choose from gladiator -> samurai too i think

[queen yoke]

Oh i see ty @patent citrus

[finite bronze]

Any tips for retainer

[raven sage]

You need to put on the clothes it gave you and go talk to people

[faint flare]

And the bots on the grond do a large square. So you can look at the tethers and adjust accordingly

[patent citrus]

ah that one, gotta read the quests 😂 @opaque zenith

[frozen girder]

No

What

[patent citrus]

what's the quest objective

[frozen girder]

Retainers can be Samurai?

[jovial tide]

Thanks

[faint flare]

Yes

[forest sage]

they can be anything

[manic flare]

@frozen girder yes

[faint flare]

They cam be any job

[patent citrus]

yeah, it can be anything 😂

[manic flare]

can retainers be crafter jobs?

[frozen girder]

Mine can't tho ._.

[forest sage]

well not crafters I guess

[opaque zenith]

it says to talk to people in clothes

[patent citrus]

better suit your main class, so you can just dump your old equipment to upgrade your retainer

[faint flare]

Equip the clothes they're asking for

[manic flare]

@opaque zenith u need to equip the weathered shepherd slops and the weathered shepherd clothes

[faint flare]

They were given to you

[forest sage]

only gathering(each of them has a different pool of items) or combat classes(all of them are the same, differenc eis just the gear they use)

[faint flare]

Probably in your armoury chest

[frozen girder]

They can be any class

Not job

[little swift]

points are based on turn-in point amounts. with the amount of points based on how valuable the turn in is. lv60 crafts aren't worth much

[patent citrus]

samurai unlocks at lv 50 ^.^

[forest sage]

yeah once you're at the appropriate level, you can get them to be jobs

[manic flare]

did you unlock samurai?

[faint flare]

Level any class to 50

[finite bronze]

Can my retainer be limited class

Blue mage

[faint flare]

Then they can change to it

[faint flare]

No

[frozen girder]

:>

[faint flare]

Its miner

It needs to be combat

[frozen girder]

Whaaat

[faint flare]

You cant go gathering to combat

[frozen girder]

But Miners are basically Samurai

[little swift]

????????

[faint flare]

Without resetting its level

You can swing a pick, you can swing a sword

thats not a logical statement at all

[frozen girder]

Basically the same

[little swift]

its not

[manic flare]

@frozen girder u have to reset your retainer

to change it to a combat class

[opaque zenith]

yea, i just did that, im a moron

[manic flare]

once u beat ifrit

u can join a grand company

then u can get a mount

btw, you are on msq level 19

the next one is level 20

the quest that unlocks chocobo mount is level 20

[frozen girder]

This is the quest you need to finish to get a chocobo

[manic flare]

it depends on which gc he joins

u dont have to join maelstrom

[frozen girder]

-_-

[manic flare]

any gc will give u the mount

[faint flare]

Its the same quest

[frozen girder]

It's the same name do

XD

Just a different ()

[manic flare]

i know, just didn't want him to be confused

think he had to join maelstrom

[nova sphinx]

On a scale of 1-10 how hard are the expert recipes for Skybuilders?

[forest sage]

10 since they're the hardest thing to craft?

[faint flare]

10

They're rng as you NEED the procs

[forest sage]

but the scale would be weird cause everything else is like, 1, since you can just macro it as long as you have the right stats and enough HQ

[faint flare]

And if you dont get them then you need to abandon the crqdt

[nova sphinx]

I’m 80GSM with 2661 craft / 2620 ctrl

[faint flare]

Plus you need BiS

Pentamelded Aesthete or get out

[nova sphinx]

Ah that’s what I was wondering if you needed that insane melded gear

[forest sage]

you can do them semi decently with less than bis, but yeah you need pretty good gear/melds to craf them regularly

[faint flare]

Its meant for people at BiS

[manic flare]

what rewards do u g et from crafting expert recipes?

[faint flare]

Its crafters endgame

[nova sphinx]

Because the minimum crafting level I figured wasn’t an appropriate “bar” for entry

[faint flare]

Experts give you more points for ranking

[forest sage]

only reward is getting more points for the ranking

the ranking rewards titles

[nova sphinx]

Expert gives you a SHITTON more points

[forest sage]

but you can just test it out to see, there's a trial synthesis option that doesn't cost materials

[patent citrus]

what's crafter's level to enter firnament again? -_- was it 15 and gatherer 10?

[nova sphinx]

It’s 63 scrips and 25pts for the highest collectability recipe before expert, the minimum scrips / pts for expert is 66 / 175

I feel the XP they offer is a joke though

As if you’re going to make a single 5800 collectability item below level 80

[little swift]

20

[forest sage]

you can't gain any xp from them I think? cause they're 80 and you can't turn them in on a lower class, or can you?

[obsidian patio]

The crafts are class specific anyways

[little swift]

they have listed exp values for next expansion i expect

[obsidian patio]

So you can’t turn in on another class

[faint flare]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/kvqthy/expert_crafting_guide_updated_for_54/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[nova sphinx]

It lists 4.8 mil XP as a reward so I don’t really get it but I’m guessing they’re assuming level 90 or whatever will be a thing eventually

[faint flare]

You can read this

For an idea

Of experts

[forest sage]

they'll nerf all the crafting xp for 80 and higher as usual though

Out of curiosity, how many Scrips do the higher lvl (80) crafts give for Firmament?

[slate arrow]

30-40, iirc

[obsidian patio]

The base 80 gives 61 or 63 at max credit

[glacial isle]

I can get ~11

and that's for the highest lvl thing I can possibly make

[slate arrow]

and then the expert ones give 60 to like 120 or so depending on the tier

since you're not max level you get EXP as an additional reward

it's their way of getting endgame crafters involved

[glacial isle]

until I run out of lvls

[slate arrow]

once you run out you can then do the 80 crafts

:d

it's a trade-off

[glacial isle]

can't do the 80 crafts

is there a FATE in the Diadem?

[raven sage]

Just in the firmament

The diadem is only for gathering now

[finite bronze]

Are haircuts race locked

I saw roe hairstyle I wanted on my au ri

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

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

[obsidian patio]

@hearty crest

[glacial isle]

what lvl it?

[raven sage]

I honestly don't know if it has a level

[faint flare]

Lv1

[raven sage]

But you wouldn't be blocked from using a lower level crafter

[faint flare]

Well

Lv20

Or 10 for gathering

[little swift]

there aren't level requirements beyond teh minimum

the fates only happen based on server progress

[glacial isle]

does it give Scrips?

[faint flare]

Yes

[little swift]

yes and a whole levels worth of exp

[faint flare]

[glacial isle]

wjat do you do in the FATE?

Ok, thx

[faint flare]

[nova sphinx]

One more q, for Expert is it still one stamp per turn in? Or is it a whole card

not sure if ehl tou is also related to the last season completion

the housing won't be right away though

likely not before 5.55 or something like that

Or before 6.0

[forest sage]

maybe 6.0

how do you limit the amount of objects on screen?

500 players in Firmament is doing wonders to my FPS

are any of the tanks better than others?

in specific situations probably, but otherwise no

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[faint flare]

Balance actually exists

[tropic notch]

pog

dark knight or paladin which one harder ;p that's what i've brought it down to

[forest sage]

they're both fairly easy

[terse grail]

Purely subjective imo

[faint flare]

Paladin has a static as hell rotation

[terse grail]

Tank playstyles are fairly different, it just comes down to what you personally find difficult

[faint flare]

Drk only has 1 combo and a tiny amount of mp management

[forest sage]

yeah DRK is probably easier

[tropic notch]

gotcha

[forest sage]

PLD isn't that complicated though(until you do crazy optimization)

[tropic notch]

DRK is cooler ;]

[patent citrus]

that's it

[forest sage]

but it does have a fair few more buttons to press

[patent citrus]

the right mindset, play what you think is cool

[terse grail]

Drk has a better story also :)

[forest sage]

yeah DRK story is great

[faint flare]

Not in game...game automatically culls players when there's alot nearby

[forest sage]

the only downside of DRK is getting synced under 70 after you've gotten a taste of TBN

[tropic notch]

TBN?

[forest sage]

the class feels terrible when synced down

[patent citrus]

system config -> others -> display limits -> minimum @glacial isle

that's the only thing you can do

how long would it take to get 30>70 on my DRK

if I did the palace thing

[faint flare]

Awhile...dungeons are faster

[patent citrus]

tank/healer better do roullete > highest level dungeon

[faint flare]

Due to short ques

[tropic notch]

roulette is a daily thing right? 😛

[patent citrus]

deep dungeon is mostly for dps who are unlucky enough to get very long queue

yeah once a day

[forest sage]

potd on tank/healer can be quite fun though if you do big pulls unlike the usual run on your own and solo stuff shenanigans

[patent citrus]

for quick synthesis, i have to make sure i can make the item with just 1 basic synthesis right?

to enable it

basically just upgrade my gears

or is it strictly the recipe has no access to quick synthesis?

[glacial isle]

since materia is apparently useless to me should I just get rid of it all or is there some DoH/L quests that specifically need Materia (<lvl 60)

[patent citrus]

just sell to npc?

[glacial isle]

I have enough gil as is

[slate arrow]

keep it and toss it at the materia goblin for transmuting

[tropic notch]

where do I go to get married

[celest inlet]

i think u need to purchase the wedding package on mogstation ,the base one is free

[round moss]

Is the casual outfit from maps or from ishgard restoration?

[raven sage]

The kupo fortune in restoration

[forest sage]

doh/dol materias have a lot of low lvl ones that are worth very good money @glacial isle so you should check market

[glacial isle]

Can't

[forest sage]

oh trial?

[round moss]

Thank you
I hate restoration
Is there an "easy" way to get the kupo fortune or do I need to craft the latest recipes

[glacial isle]

yes

[forest sage]

I'd keep them unless you really need the space for when you buy the game especially if you plan on doing endgame crafting

even old materias are useful for pentamelding

[slate arrow]

@round moss You'll have to craft the highest level stuff(s) in order to get said stamps

no cheesing it with low level crafts

[forest sage]

the easy way to get casual is to buy it off the market, it's that or farming kupo tickets with crafting, and you do need the current stuff to get good scrips

[slate arrow]

fortunately, the regular 80 craft does give stamps

[sullen phoenix]

Are hiring more retainers the only way to increase inventory space?

[slate arrow]

yes

[round moss]

well every crafter is on 80 but if I go for like grade 1 crafts it's gonna work

[slate arrow]

well, that and buying the chocobo saddlebag expansion

[raven sage]

You have to craft things at your level

[slate arrow]

you can't get grade 1 materials anymore

has to be grade 4

[raven sage]

And yeah not grade 1

Nothing old or underleveled will give you stamps

[round moss]

Alright so I suffer later xD

Thanks

[forest sage]

it'll probably drop to an affordable price in a couple of weeks

[round moss]

Ye but sadly I am not the richest in the game

[mental garnet]

do DoTs still do damage when bosses phase out?

[elder hornet]

Is there a way to check which dungeon are giving bonus light for the zodiac relic?

[faint flare]

No because player ran trackers aren't updated

And you can literally just spam stuff like ifirit normal or whatever zodiac does

And be done in a few hours

[jovial tide]

Never really understood why people say paladin endgame rotation is easy

In theory, yea

But most of the complexity is dealing with downtime and how it throws an already tight rotation into chaos

[warped nest]

You have FoF phase, into Requiescat phase, into a short filler, then repeat

Focus on your FoF and Requiescat phases

If you cannot do your filler phase perfectly, then so be it

[jovial tide]

Downtime during FoF is the worst

[kind eagle]

u can get 2 loot

in 1 savage?

[faint flare]

Yes

[warped nest]

Yes, people will be pissed

But yes

[faint flare]

You can get as much as you want when you clear on your first clear

[jovial tide]

I never know how to recover from FoF downtime properly

[kind eagle]

fk i shld left

[faint flare]

You get 1 chance to loot as much or as little

[jovial tide]

I just try to make it to the next goring blade to go into requiescat but that's about it

[faint flare]

Get nothing, tough luck
Get everything: people hate you

[jovial tide]

But it sucks that it's unbuffed

[kind eagle]

yuck

i guess i used all my luck?

[warped nest]

Unfortunately, I cannot give you better advice other than practice/play more to gain experience on bad window for your FoF

[jovial tide]

Is it worth doing an unbuffed goring combo before going into requiescat?

Or should I just go into it immediately?

[warped nest]

I would say yes because goring is a dot

!action Atonement

[zinc orbit]

Oh

Thanks wynne

So... Worth sacrificing 1 Atonement to fit Goring Blade inside FoF, if you can and have no better choice

The cutoff point is 8k MP, which should be fine, but always safe to check this on a striking dummy first

[paper stag]

So me and a friend just hit Lv.30 - we expect to change classes at lv.50. Is it smartest to just run storyquests to 50 or run dungeons to 50 for the first time? I see some dungeons are locked behind story quests but at least half of the dungeons from 30-50 arent - is it worth just farming dungeons and then once we switch classes doing the story - or is it a lot harder ding dungeons for that than just quests?

[novel sonnet]

For sake of argument..

Who generally is a better healer Scholar or Ast

[warped nest]

@paper stag just to be sure, you two planned to play other classes once you two reach lvl 50?

[paper stag]

Yes, and we figured since new classes (im going dark knight) start at 30, that we would save the story quests above 30 for when we switch. but was unsure how viable it was to go 30-50 from just dungeons (not having the story ones unlocked)

[warped nest]

Dark Knight, Machinist, and Astrologian

While start at lvl 30

Are all locked behind lvl 50 Heavensward region

Which you can only reach, by completing the story

[paper stag]

OHHH Okay! so I have to do the story no matter what

Got it XD But then once we switch to dark knight lv.30, whats best way to level it back up to the next story quests? Dungeons?

[warped nest]

Yes, dungeons

[tropic notch]

Ok so I just scheduled my wedding in game .. is there anything we need to know before it happens besides being there on time? Like do we just show up and talk to the guy outside the chapel?

[novel sonnet]

@paper stag im planning on making my 2nd class Dark Knight, figured i'd fly through it..

This is day 2 of story quests + patch updates

[paper stag]

Tbh so excited to play dark knight, and already got a look in mind for it 😄

[warped nest]

@paper stag while it is not exactly relevant, I still think it is good for you to know now. Please take note that dungeons that are exactly level 50, 60, and 70 are horrible for gaining exp. For example, if you are trying to grinding to 51, your best choice are the highest level dungeon that aren't level 50 (that would be the lvl 47 dungeon)

[naive kraken]

set up your desired decorations and music inside the chapel

[paper stag]

okay! so the best dungeons are the in-betweens

[warped nest]

Yes, exactly

[paper stag]

Gotcha, and are dungeons + story quests a solid way to level up to max?

[novel sonnet]

@warped nest does it exp cap at certain parts? Like 41-49 for 30 - 50, then 51 - 59 for 60.. etc?

[warped nest]

Short answer Yes.
Not so short answer: yes, but there are some alternatives that works better for DPS

For very long answer

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[paper stag]

So to my knowledge ill be dark knight (which i assume is tank but ive seen people say it still does good damage) and I believe friend is going a DPS

[warped nest]

Every roles in this game is expected to do good damage

Tank doing damage = stuff die faster = less tanking

Healer doing damage = ditto above

[tropic notch]

Besides that do we just show up, talk to npc and do it?

[naive kraken]

and pass out invitations

but yeah

[warped nest]

@novel sonnet are you referring to the dungeon exp?

[novel sonnet]

Yea.. kinda piggy backing on your conversation lol

[warped nest]

OK, dungeon exp doesn't cap

But they become less and less worthwhile because you start to need more and more exp to level up

For example, When you are at level 54, lvl 53 dungeon is your best choice, lvl 51 dungeon is still decent just a bit less good compared to 53, then level 47 is just not worth it

[paper stag]

(Ty btw and have a great night ❤️ )

[warped nest]

I'm glad that I can help

[novel sonnet]

Let me refraise.. is exp based on damage done + hit marks?.. ahh ^ that makes sence

I read it like if a lvl 45 was in a 50+ dng they would get bad exp since the hits wouldn't connect and damage would be low where in a 46 - 49 they would do more damage + hit more

[tropic notch]

Hell yeah I’m gettin married then

[warped nest]

The exp is scaled based on dungeon level

[faint flare]

Exp is static

[warped nest]

/\

[faint flare]

Mobs give the same amount

Just that the amount of xp lower levels mobs give dont make a dent in the amount you need in higher levels

[warped nest]

On level 30+, exp are scaled in such a way that around 7-8 run of the best dungeon choice will give you 2 levels

[faint flare]

Old level cap dungeons, ie the 50, 60, 70s give worst XP because they Never had xp and it got tacked on

[novel sonnet]

Ahh thanks @warped nest for being a volume of knowledge & @faint flare for clarifying :)

[warped nest]

So to get from lvl 53 to lvl 55, you will run level 53 dungeon for about 7 times, give or take

[novel sonnet]

Lol (don't judge) im used to the runescape exp where your exp depends on hits delt + kills 😂🤣

This is the first mmorpg game other then like diabo i have played but the mechanics are different in a way

[warped nest]

Np, everyone start fresh and clueless

[novel sonnet]

My other less then important question

Since scholar is quicker to unlock, would it be safe to assume that it would be an easier class to learn as opposed to Astro?

[faint flare]

They're different in terms of Difficulty

Scholar is resource management and fairy management

[warped nest]

Expansion Jobs aren't more difficult because they unlocked later

[faint flare]

Astro is busy and needs forward planning with its cooldowns

[novel sonnet]

I meant like skill lines.. complexity of use more or less

[whole wasp]

you mean as in you unlock many skills at once because you start at a higher level?

then yes but this can be alleviated by practising on a training dummy

[warped nest]

Or watching a video guide

[whole wasp]

reading the tooltips

[novel sonnet]

No i mean like.. buffs + skill usage + timing + dodge as opposed to button mash healing

[faint flare]

All healers plan stuff out

So they're not button mash healing and smashing their dps

[whole wasp]

thats something that all healers do so it shouldn't be much of a difference

[warped nest]

If that's what you were thinking, I would say Scholar is a hair more difficult, because you can combine your Ability to gain different enhancement for your heals

[novel sonnet]

Lol ill does more research, haha just figured id ask a community what their opinions weee

[warped nest]

Emphasis on a hair

[whole wasp]

astro might be slightly higher learning curve since you gotta memorize who gets what card

but its pretty simple

[warped nest]

Put a sticky note next to your screen XD

[faint flare]

Like i said, scholar needs good resource management and fairy management... Astro is a busy job and needs forward thinking to fully make use of the kit

[empty pecan]

How far do you have to get into Eureka to gain access to the dyeable 70 job gear? Also if want access to the red mage gear do i need to upgrade the weapon first?

[faint flare]

Just anemos

[warped nest]

No for part 2

[faint flare]

Just get the crystals after unlocking Gerolt in there

[warped nest]

You can go in with other Job

So i'm new. just wondering. is there a difference on picking one of the 3 NA data centers?

[faint flare]

Not on a functional level no

They're physically in the same location

[full latch]

So has nothing to do with time zone?

[faint flare]

Nope

They're all located in Cali

So ping/timezone isn't a difference

Only difference is communities

[leaden ginkgo]

How do you join in on the uhhh, mass sweeping? I’ve never done a concerted work before

[faint flare]

Be a DoL/H

[full latch]

So when I load in the game I would find different people?

[faint flare]

And just go interact with stuff

Yes, because they're different data centres with different servers in them

Each data centre pulls from its list of servers with instance matching

[full latch]

Kk. Can I join any data centers whenever I want?

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok gotcha I will try that

[faint flare]

Yes

[full latch]

Cool! Thanks

What about world's? Lol I just opened up character selection

[faint flare]

!faq worldpick

[full latch]

Same thing? I see one is called legacy

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)

[faint flare]

Legacy means nothing to new people

[leaden ginkgo]

I can’t see any interactables T_T. Are you supposed to fetch the broom from somewhere?

[faint flare]

Look on the map, purple icons is where the things are

You can basically follow the crows

And interact with stuff yoy come across

[full latch]

oh I see. how do I know which world has roleplaying and whatever else there is

[faint flare]

See the Faq

[full latch]

!faq worldtype

[zinc orbit]

Types of Worlds

Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.

Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.

Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.

New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.

Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.

oh I thought those were examples

[faint flare]

No they're literally the only noticeable worlds with any major difference

[full latch]

oh okay!

[faint flare]

Every other are just normal

[full latch]

gotcha! rp it is

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahh I don’t see anything purple on the map... maybe I didn’t do a requirement...

[faint flare]

There's no requirements for the fates other than be there on a dol/h

[stable hinge]

is tbere a reward for ishgard 1st or top 3?

or just top 12 titles

[faint flare]

Top 12

[full latch]

weird that the website says balmug is not available but i'm making a character right now. guess it's outdated?

[faint flare]

Lodestone updates slowly

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohh it’s actually starting now

People were just doing sweep emote

[digital lake]

is there a way to see how many players are on each datacenter (or possibly even each world?)

[full latch]

^

btw thanks for the help. I can't wait to play lmao

[hearty crest]

do you recommend a new player to boost to 70

[faint flare]

No

You learn nothing and your level means nothing without story done

[hearty crest]

ah so you have to complete the story at least once?

[faint flare]

No. We only have unofficial censuses

Story is flat out mandatory

To complete

It locks literally everything

Skips are primarily for alts

[digital lake]

whispers there is story skip but you didnt hear that from me 👀

[hearty crest]

story skip ?????

....

tell me more

[digital lake]

you have to buy it

[plain python]

booster should only be used if you do it normally once, and want to skip it when make a new beginning in other servers

[fresh lodge]

You can pay real money to skip the story

If you really don't care about the story and have the spare cash for a story skip and level boost, it might be worth it

[hearty crest]

would i be inting people if i boost through everything

[digital lake]

you rly should not do it tho cus the story is like 50% of the reason why ppl think ffxiv is great

[faint flare]

You wont know anything

Be it how to play or story

[fresh lodge]

Just do some research on how your job plays

Maybe queue up for some lower level dungeons to get a feel for the job first

[hearty crest]

im coming from WoW and i can say in wow when people say don't skip leveling they are lieing

[fresh lodge]

If you really want to skip then go ahead

[full latch]

I'm coming from destiny. we have skipping levels but they are still forced to play the story

[faint flare]

The story is like 80% of the game

[plain python]

if you choose to boost, try to get familiar with your class kits first with a training dummy. Healer and tanker have simple rotation, while DPS are more button to press.

[fresh lodge]

Its not hard to pick up a job at level 70, just read the tooltips

[hazy shadow]

It is kind of griefy to a degree if you level skip and don't even take the time to at least look up a guide to play your class

[plain python]

don't be that White Mage who Cure I at lv80

[hazy shadow]

^

Plz

[hearty crest]

so as long as i read up on my class and queue for lower dungeons to practice its should be ok ish?

[fresh lodge]

Yes

[hazy shadow]

Yeah

Some classes are easy to pick up

[full latch]

I'm actually having a hard time picking characters clan

[digital lake]

astrologian and gunbreaker would like a word

[hazy shadow]

Others have fixed rotations that need practice

[faint flare]

Pick what you like the look of

[digital lake]

so many buttons

[full latch]

so do clans actually have a difference in looks?

[shrewd owl]

Ye

[faint flare]

Yes

[hazy shadow]

Astro in its basic form is v ez

[hearty crest]

so if i boost a ninja and try to learn it will i have a hard time

[full latch]

I'm picking the cat people and I assumed they're just random looks and I could try my best to copy the other clan version

[hazy shadow]

Uhm.. Yes and no?

[plain python]

depend on how long you learn it before throw yourself into the fray

[hearty crest]

i heard ninja is more simple than most classes?

[digital lake]

ninja is one of the most complicated classes no?

[plain python]

get comfortable first

[hearty crest]

oop nvm

[faint flare]

Its very busy every minute

[shrewd owl]

Really depends on how fast you learn stuff anyway

[faint flare]

For 15s

[plain python]

don't try to figure what buttons do what on the run, and you should be fin

[faint flare]

After that its basic 1 2 3

[shrewd owl]

Hrothgar or Miqo'te?

[hazy shadow]

Sam is probably the easiest melee from what I've read being said

[elfin wagon]

what does high level duty entail when it comes 2 the tank acheivements

[hearty crest]

sam is a proc base class right?

[faint flare]

No

[shrewd owl]

Thats more dancer

[faint flare]

No melee uses procs

[plain python]

Sam is build up combo for a big slash

[faint flare]

Thats a ranged dps thing

[fresh lodge]

SAM had a single proc and thats it

Its not really a thing you have to think about

[hearty crest]

so only rotation

[fresh lodge]

SAM doesn't have a completely rigid rotation, you might have to change things up on a fight to fight basis

[hearty crest]

what class do you play?

[fresh lodge]

Black Mage

[hearty crest]

my friend is planning to play that if we boost

would you rec to new player?

[fresh lodge]

Sure

[hearty crest]

also i heard if we dont like the class we can always switch out right?

[fresh lodge]

Yes

[shrewd owl]

Yeah you can play every class

[fresh lodge]

You can be every job in the game

[shrewd owl]

On one character

[hearty crest]

so a SAM can turn in to a RDM?

[shrewd owl]

Yes

[plain python]

one character, all classes/jobs

no point to play another unless you want a mule/different look

[hearty crest]

would you guys recommend any classes for beginners and not the play what you like?

[full latch]

So I managed to copy both clans to look similar. only difference is the skin is lighter for one clan

[fresh lodge]

Just play whatever looks cool

[shrewd owl]

Which race mike

[full latch]

cat

[shrewd owl]

Miqo?

Or hrothgar

[fresh lodge]

They're probably on the trial so Miqo'te

[full latch]

miqo. I can't see what hrothgar looks like

[shrewd owl]

Ah

Yeah then the two clans will have two distinct differences

[hazy shadow]

It's really preferential what class you choose.

[plain python]

I recommend a healer or a tanker to smooth out your main quest progression

[shrewd owl]

Mooncats have round eyes and fangs
Suncats have slitted eyes and no fangs

[hazy shadow]

Whether you care for the anesthetic /how it plays

[plain python]

though you can play anything you want

[hazy shadow]

Which can be tricky to determine if you don't have any idea

[full latch]

ty

[plain python]

there is also Arcanist that will give you a healer and a DPS at the same time

[hazy shadow]

So sometimes buying a boost without any idea of if you like it or not might financially be a bog.

[plain python]

but both classes from Arcanist are kinda advanced to play

Scholar and Summoner, btw

[shrewd owl]

Suncats also have pretty tan skin while Mooncats have like shades of blue and grey
Both can have human like skin tones tho

[full latch]

oh yeah I see now. yeah mooncats is totally the way i'm going

[digital lake]

mooncat gang

best cat

[plain python]

moon cat has that permanent face marker, btw

[shrewd owl]

Oh yeah the markings are different

Each clan has different choice of facial features too except for the Au Ra

[fresh lodge]

Au Ra definitely have different facial features between clans

[shrewd owl]

Oh
Shit I havent checked in a while

[hearty crest]

what do i buy the collector's edition or complete edition?

[shrewd owl]

Collector's edition is just a bunch of cosmetic stuff right

[fresh lodge]

Complete Edition

Comes with both the base game and Shadowbringers expansion

[hearty crest]

so i just buy a complete edition and job/scenario boost if i want to be 70 and skip story?

[shrewd owl]

Yeah

[hearty crest]

dw one day ill run the story

[shrewd owl]

Well youll have to run through the story of 70-80 still to get to the actual endgame anyway

[digital lake]

whew shadowbringers is gonna make no sense without arr ._.

[nimble charm]

What is the fastest way to farm tons of poetics? 😅

[faint flare]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[faint flare]

See second link

[full latch]

god why did they make one of the faces look like the dude is just glaring at you lol

[shrewd owl]

The standing animation

[full latch]

it's literally a permanent face expression

unless something hit him hard on that spot

[glacial isle]

this is the best crafter gear at lvl 60 right?

[green grail]

no

but it's probably the easiest to get

[glacial isle]

is the better gear in SB?

[warped nest]

Yeah

[glacial isle]

then its the best

[full latch]

am I able to change appearance eventually? like hairstyle?

[glacial isle]

yes
