I just unretired since (5.0? Whatever ShB was) and I'm trying to catch up to craft new gear (490/510). Do I just proceed down MSQ to unlock wherever the new mats are? I keep hearing someone mentioning "Infinite D_something_"

SE has sent out many C&D orders over the years against people violating their "intellectual property" copyrights. You'd have to be more specific.
open coral
someone vagued me and im now anxious
If you're not trying to sell something that falls under SE's copyrights or market their art as your own, you're probably safe.

Hi! until what level is worth doing Hunting Logs?
"Worth" would be about until level 15 for most jobs.
hard quail
Then you could be C&D'd but a def minority. And C&D is literally just a letter than says "Hey, stop doing it." - So stop doing it at that point.
open coral
i made like, earrings that look p much like emet's, as a fan good
Again, as long as you're not trying to sell them, or market them as "Emet-Selch's earrings", you're probably okay.
lavish vortex
"Worth" would be about until level 15 for most jobs.
thanks!
trail mulch
Again, as long as you're not trying to sell them, or market them as "Emet-Selch'...
like, what else do i call them then
open coral
Don't use Emet-Selch's name if you're trying to sell them. You can say "inspired by Emet-Selch from FFXIV" in describing them, but otherwise keep it as generic as you can. Copyright law is intentionally vague in favor of the copyright holder.
hard quail
like, what else do i call them then
As long as your description says "Inspired by XX created by YY" and pays them their rights, you're very unlikely to need to worry about this scenario. Lawyers cost money, C&Ds cost money. They're not trolling Etsy shops sending out 6-digit legalease asking people to stop.
If you're selling, and pushing earring 'you designed' and making no mention of the game, you are much more likely. But that's basic business - SE could care more, or could care less.
trail mulch
i do give credit to the game, and the backing card i've planned isnt a screenshot but my own art
the name might not be "xx inspired by yy" but its fine if i put it in the description right
hard quail
I would worry more if you get a C&D. A C&D is no legal action, it is a recommendation you stop before legal action.
open coral
The important part is that you're crediting the original designer(s) and not marketing the item as "I designed this all on my own".
trail mulch
yeah i do plan to do that and they're just vagueing me so im worried

When closing large distances as a tank, is better to gap close -> resume rotation or ranged attack + gap close -> resume rotation?
'Large' meaning there's still some walking involved
open coral
can i change hair color stuff later? i feel liek im being to picky hahaha
Hair color and makeup can be changed for in-game currency once you unlock that feature. Other changes can only be made with a Fantasia potion.
twilit arch
the aesthetician lets you change hair colour/style and a few small other things. you can unlock it at lvl 15 with the side quest "Beauty is Only Scalp Deep" once you've done the main scenario quest "Call of the Sea"

One lvl80 dps or tank can probably 1v1 the fight in question
Makes it quick, but you do gotta get lucky
also, the ex primals drop horses for mounts
which are dumb.

What's the difference between normal and collector's edition? Is it worth getting it?
devout cape
So needing some clarification or something I recently purchased ff xiv online complete edition on PS4 and I have an account linked to steam didn’t play much but I’m now unable to find a registration code to link the game to my PS4 and from all I’ve gathered I’m required to also now buy the standard edition and expansions? I’m confused as all get out and annoyed
twilit arch
where did you buy the ps4 edition
devout cape
On the PlayStation store digital
twilit arch
and that's applied to your account yes?
devout cape
I’m wondering if I messed up cause I was able to play my toon I had on pc but now without sub I can’t and trying to link my digital game and not finding the code
twilit arch
ps4 digital doesn't have a code
devout cape
Didn’t think so
twilit arch
because you link your psn account directly to your mogstation
so when you buy ps4 digitally, its automatically applied to the account
open coral
I’m wondering if I messed up cause I was able to play my toon I had on pc but no...
Wait, you don't have an active sub?
If you don't have an active sub, that's why you can't play.
Not because the account isn't linked.
devout cape
Is what my account shows and I’m not able to link the PS4 info to it for some reason unless that’s due to not subbing?
Which is confusing cause the online complete edition says I got all expansions included
marble dome
did you actually open the ps4 application when you downloaded
leaden ginkgo
Please how the hell do i mute Crafting noises
devout cape
Yea
leaden ginkgo
From other players
leaden ginkgo
Thank you
marble dome
anyways, i asked because when you launch the game in ps4, it should give you an option to say i have an account or i dont have an account
devout cape
Tbh can’t remember when I open it up now it allows me to login using my psn id then says I don’t have an active sub
So maybe I messed up somehow?
marble dome
somewhere along the path, yes
devout cape
Any advice on correcting it somehow or am I just kinda screwed?
marble dome
refresh mogstation and see if it updated there
open coral
If it's saying you don't have an active sub, then you need to have an active sub.
twilit arch
if they bought the complete edition for ps4 tho
they wouldn't need an active sub, they should be able to log in because they have the 30 days free
devout cape
But it’s saying I haven’t bought any expansions for PS4 even tho I bought the complete edition which says it includes em so idk why it’d matter sub or not
Bought it on steam back in 2018 played a bit then got the online complete edition and maybe messed up somehow but isn’t showing a link between console and mog station

Ok coolp. So, for DRK I understand the openers, but currently at lvl 60 content. I know my 1-2-3, I know my AoE 1-2. But I'm not sure what my oGCD priorities are when I don't have Delerium. Is it:
Edge of Shadow > Salted Earth > Carve and Spit > Plunge?
faint flare
Use them on cooldown
faint flare
Edge of shadow used to keep up your damage buff
oak jolt
Is there a priority? Which order?
simple shore
Edge if you're going to cap mana or lose your damage buff
Carve if you arent going to cap mana by using it
Plunge if you're at 2 charges
Salted Earth
Plunge at 1 charge
faint flare
!faq drkguide
zinc orbitBOT
simple shore
is what i would say is the priority
oak jolt
Ah. So switch the middle two. Thank you.
Thanks Vinyl. That one has been my go to but it's all about openers at 80.
simple shore
Never use your second plunge charge if you can benefit from it as a gap closer though
faint flare
Same rules apply to all levels
Drk literally doesn't change much throughout the levels
oak jolt
Carve and spit where further down the chain but felt it should be sooner at lower levels non-raiding.
simple shore
Yeah the opener is different because you're trying to fit things into specific windows
oak jolt
Oh, being in delirium?
simple shore
what i listed is a more general priority
No not Delirium
Shit like buffs/debuffs from other players
faint flare
Buffs in general should be out by the time you go into delirium however
oak jolt
Nice. I appreciate you both for these answers.

Nothing is irreplaceable

If its gear from a quest you can usually buy it again from the calamity salvager in one of the 3 starter cities
At most it'll be like 1k a piece
Do we have a !faq for that?
terse heath
ok, thanks. that helps ease my mind. i'm a hoarder
faint flare
You may want to keep tome gear just to save tomes in rhe future
Otherwise just rebuy the gear later
terse heath
Got it.
warm snow
Yeah your augmented ironworks, shire and scaevan gear can be useful for levelling other jobs
Unless you're a dragoon
terse heath
it's not good for dragoon?
warm snow
Well even the dragoon accessories are useful
Dragoon armor can only be used by dragoons
simple shore
it's not good for dragoon?
Armor is broken up into types later on. DRG's share with nobody

Dragoon doesn't share gear left side gear

Just the armor though, not the rings necklace, bracelet

lavish vortex
how do you use squadrons in dungeons?> and are they good to use them to level to 50?
as dps alt class
little swift
you need to have unlocked squadron command missions to take them into dungeons
this requires rank 2 with squadrons from completing the first flagged mission
after that you can take them into dungeons that are within their level range
oak ice
They're a good way to level since you have 0 queues, but that depends on if you can stay sane after a few runs
little swift
they are good for leveling if your queues suck
but their ai is bad
however to compensate they made it so the squadrons are beefier and can sorta ignore mechanics
also you get more exp by a little
oak ice
I died so many times because the tank stacked with everyone else on Stone Vigil, so when Isgebind landed it just ice breathed me to death
faint flare
You'll need abit of micro managing with retreat and engage to move stuff
lavish vortex
and the run times are similar to the ones with real players??
whole wasp
No. It will be slightly slower.
The squaddies will also be straight immune to alot of mechanics. Every mechanic landa on you as well.
lavish vortex
ok, ill go unlock them and try a couple of runs to see if its my cup of tea
thanks a lot
so, ive sent my 1st squadron on a mission, they are level 1, i have to level them up to 15 to being able to go to dungeons with them?
warm snow
I haven't tried yet but how do trust companions compare to squadrons?

Does anyone else RP? I want to create a background for my character but I'm not sure where to start. I've never done anything like that so looking for some tips.

Trust is way smarter

swift finch

Thats amazing.
whole wasp
Yes. Love it and caress it.
leaden ginkgo
wat about that one skill
whole wasp
Touch it every 60 seconds
whole wasp
E tactics only werf using if mechanic requiees full hp
Else its a waste of time
Since it doesnt make your heal stronger
timid geyser
It's just like Ninjas and the wind jutsu, make sure to always use it
whole wasp
No. Proper hp is better than shield
But its still not worth the time to press e.tactic just to convert shield to hp
Unless these potaties have to be 100% hp or they die.
little swift
shield usage is mostly for extra HP beyond your full hp bar
whole wasp
Some fight have mechanics like that
leaden ginkgo
ok so the skill overall is just not worth touching for majority of the content lol?
little swift
it has its use
whole wasp
And you somehow need to adlo+adlo again
leaden ginkgo
I thought it was good for a pinch heal imo

Literally press indom and its faster and stronger
little swift
macros are fine for ogcds such as ground placement and certain targeted skills
little swift
but using them in that fashion that you have suggested is terribly inefficient and poor weaving
whole wasp
I thought it was good for a pinch heal imo
You want to use your fairy healing spells first then aetherflow healing spells then adlo/succor
leaden ginkgo
@whole wasp yeah i figured that
solid lion
Wellit stays on macro. Cause I don't give a crap about Ny of that lol. And as I said its only used in emergency. Most the time indom works fine. I only ever used the macro 3 maybe 4 times. Cause a dps messed up
whole wasp
There are dungeons where i never succor or adlo even once
little swift
its bad for the same reasons swift raise macros are a bad sumeo
leaden ginkgo
I feel for most dungeons with the class fairy healing is good enough and aetherflow healing seems pretty good too
little swift
and as a scholar you have better tools for healing anyways
whole wasp
Aetherflow healing is super strong
little swift
that are ogcd
little swift
you have your fairy gauge and seraph too
solid lion
I hardly heal any more so not my problem

Lowest DPS is either sch or whm?
tawny hatch
Out of the dps -_-
whole wasp
Bard
leaden ginkgo
@little swift i meant Deployment Tactics
little swift
you used emergenecy first there did you not?
means you casted adlo and then deployed
dense hound
I thought lowest DPS was AST
solid lion
Well I also use macros cause I'm on controller so I'm limited on what I can and can't use. Besides not everyone is guna be a hard-core raider. So moat dont care about optimization.
If it works it works
little swift
which means you deployed 0 shield
whole wasp
I thought lowest DPS was AST
AST cards help alot in DPS
little swift
controller doesn't inhibit you any more or less so thats why its bad advice
dense hound
Ohhhh.
I must've been thinking personal
whole wasp
You dont need to use macros on controller
little swift
it has nothing to do with being hardcore raider or not
whole wasp
World first healer is a controlelr WHM iirc
You can perform at every level with controller
little swift
i'm not saying you can't use macros
leaden ginkgo
@little swift what im saying is if i do adlo doesnt that activate glav?
or w.e its called
solid lion
None of that matters lol later

death penalty
little swift
<@!159553445232115712> what im saying is if i do adlo doesnt that activate glav?
your emergency eats the galvanize for healing so you have no shield left to deploy
whole wasp
No galvanize = deploy nothing
leaden ginkgo
so its better to use emergency first?
little swift
you'd have to cast another adlo
leaden ginkgo
k i see
i thought if i did emergency then deployment
it would give everyone around me
glav
whole wasp
Nope
leaden ginkgo
Can I glamour out to my highest lvl gear the Eureka Elemental and Eureka Elemental Dyeable - glow - sets respectively?
little swift
Well I also use macros cause I'm on controller so I'm limited on what I can and ...
its not even about optimization. this is a QnH channel btw please provide valid advice thats not detrimental to player development
whole wasp
Can I glamour out to my highest lvl gear the Eureka Elemental and Eureka Element...
Yes but your gear must be stronger than the elemental gear so 70+ gear
leaden ginkgo
and because i activated emergency after adlo then deployment the effect of emergency would trigger but okay lol
whole wasp
Emergency affects your next succor/adlo
leaden ginkgo
Yes but your gear must be stronger than the elemental gear so 70+ gear
That's why I said highest lvl gear, thanks, I thought it was only the standard version.
whole wasp
It does nothing to existing shields
leaden ginkgo
it would make sense cuz deployment basically gives galv to everyone around u
leaden ginkgo
o extends k nvm that seems kinda meh
whole wasp
If you dont have an existing galv. It copies nothing
leaden ginkgo
is there a way to give multiple people galv or no?
whole wasp
Yes adlo one guy
leaden ginkgo
if not the skill went from cool to mid
whole wasp
Deploy him
But it takes so long that the galv prob took damage already
Omly really used before fight starts
little swift
one technique thats not bad in dungeons
whole wasp
Then you can chill for like 30 seconds and not have to heal
little swift
is to adlo the tank
and yourself
so when the shield on them breaks
you deploy another
leaden ginkgo
i usually do that
whole wasp
Once you get excog. Healing the tank becones super comfy
leaden ginkgo
o yeah
that skill seems good af
u dont have worry about healing for good amount of time
its 1 aetherflow too lol
whole wasp
Once you get recitation, its basically free every other cast
Since recitation nullifies resource cost

For all intents and purposes, PS4 and PS5 versions are the same thing right now. If you ONLY own the PC license, then you will need to buy the PS4 version of the full game for your PS5.

Ooh okay so if I get it now and when ps5 version come out it should carry over since they’re the same atm

Yes. If/when they end PS4 support it is likely that, just as they did when they ended PS3 support, they will offer free upgrades to all PS4 license holders.

They use new mats, but they're from the same zones

wheat plume
in labyrint of ancients, whats the deal with yellow and purple panels?
slate arrow
You need to stand on them to make the forcefield for another alliance to turn off
wheat plume
so yellow for 1 allaince, purple for the other?
spark lance
Is this the room with the Atomos or somewhere else?
wheat plume
yeah
simple shore
Its not worth thinking about the colors
spark lance
Having 3 (4?) people on a panel removes the shield on the atomos panel of the same color
slate arrow
Just stand on the panel if there's not 4 people there
simple shore
All you need to know is 4 people from your party stand on the pad at the start of your bridge.
slate arrow
it's not worth trying to coordinate more OTL
spark lance
But the colors dont really matter. All panels in the back need to be stood on or another alliance will be stuck
wheat plume
and the other panel?}

With the atomos on it? It just gets its shield removed. No one needs to stand on those

my friend believes a group of people she pissed off has been constantly reporting her for a while, shes scared to lose her account now as she has been to jail already, what can she do?
little swift
has she done anything expressly harassing to the other parties? if not and they're harassing her in game chat
she should report them for harassing her
thorny knoll
she says she has been doing that
spark lance
If they're reporting her for fabricated reasons, the game's admins have access to chat logs and stuff and can see if the claims are false
Has she been punished in some way from these reports or are these people just saying they're reporting her?
polar hound
"has been to jail already" insinuates she has been punished

thorny knoll

What was the alleged reason?
polar hound
they don't just pull you into the gaol for no reason usually, they can just whisper
forest sage
if it's your first char, you have to do the MSQ @lament basalt it's not optional unless you pay for a skip, if you mean secondary jobs, then whatever dungeon is highest, xp doesn't scale so always the highest dungeon(might be a few exceptions at some lvl range, but not really worth it unless you're doing farming parties that can farm the lower stuff more efficiently vs random queues)

Just make the GMs fully aware that there is a group of people on a witch hunt to get her banned and try to appeal any reports.. they usually are pretty harsh on people who conduct witch hunts ingame.
twilit arch
being mass reported doesn't necessarily mean anything either
oak spindle
whats the best weaver combo at level 69 to get max quality?
twilit arch
because the gms are going to look into the reports themselves
if they get banned again, its because they did something to warrant being banned
and not simply because they were mass reported by a group
manic flare
if you've reported someone before, do you ever get notified about what happens to that player you reported?
forest sage
no
manic flare
because the gms are going to look into the reports themselves
do you know this for a fact, or is that what you think is happening
polar hound
^^^ My advice would be to keep all chat in private channels and blacklist the people she figures are harassing her moving forward. hard to get reported if you leave no trail
manic flare
just curious if you've been a GM before
or if there are any GMs who participate in this discord
polar hound
I've reported people plenty and had conversations with the GMs about the issue before they even investigate personally
manic flare
yea the GM spoke to me regarding the person i reported
polar hound
I used to be a GM, but not for ffxiv lol. Generally there is a petition queue/ticket system and everything is logged.
manic flare
for which game?
spark lance
I could see parser use being the exception, since it's technically agains the TOS but unenforced. Could mass reports persuade the GMs to ban someone for it?
twilit arch
This isn't the place to ask about tbh
but again, GMs aren't just going to ban someone because they're being mass reported
dire prawn
I has a question
forest sage
they wouldn't be able to prove someone's using it, and the rules for parsing are more about harassing people for bad performance, rather than just using
twilit arch
they are going to look into the reports and see if there's something there
forest sage
otherwise big streamers, who also have plenty of people hating them, would get banned all the time
since most of them stream with ACT on
manic flare
do people actually harass other people for not performing well by the use of a parser program?
i've actually never witnessed this in game
forest sage
well since it's bannable, not very often no
manic flare
or it just doesn't happen in my server
polar hound
generally they will just kick and replace those people
spark lance
Jerks exist, so it happens but it's rare
polar hound
without saying anything, because if they DO say something, they can be banned

If I get FFXIV on PS4 does it still require me make a SE account 🤔
forest sage
you'll need a mogstation account regardless yeah
they take you there during the creation process iirc
dire prawn
Looks like I'm getting it on PS4 then cause my laptop is being a little bitch and not letting me create an account for the free trial
forest sage
the trial is surprisingly convoluted to get started, especially with SE's notorious terrible account systems
if you don't mind playing on PS4 though it's a nice enough option
dire prawn
I found that out the hard way last night
forest sage
just you won't be able to switch back and forth without buying the game for both

I forget, do you need to buy expansions for each platform as well or just the base game?

you need expansions as well
forest sage
you need expansions if you want to play expansion content
dire prawn
Coincidentally enough I play on PS4 as my main console 
forest sage
you can technically play ARR(and now HW) with just the starter, but if you log out in say Kugane, you won't be able to login without stormblood on the platform
dire prawn
So if I get the free trial set up on PS4 do I have to buy FFXIV on PC? Or can I download the free trial version and then use the login I created on the PS4 to transfer it to PC
forest sage
the trials are separate, I'm not entirely sure if you can buy the game on PC for a PS4 trial account, maybe
I'd look into finding a guide on how to start a trial properly on PC

Most big ones have a subscription. But you are right, there are free options.

Does the free trial come with HW or do you have to buy HW separate
spark lance
It's a rare model these days. I think only EVE, WoW, and FFXIV are subscription based, but they're probably also the best MMOs out there
twilit arch
HW is part of the free trial
buoyant haven
I don't mind subscription based, I mind subscription based that requires me to pay extra on top of the subscription
twilit arch
But free trial does not give ownership of the game, so you will still need to buy the base game (which comes with hw) + shadowbringers (which has stormblood) or buy complete edition (Which is base + expansions)
buoyant haven
either charge for the expansions or subscribe me but I can't justify the financial strain of both

any way of avoid being eated by atomos or being pushed in 3rd crystal tower raid

eaten is targetted at someone so move to another side(if that someone is you, no way to avoid)
push you can stay on the platform if you're close enough to center

wintry sable
Probably?
twilit arch
likely get trailer cinematic, job trailer (hopefully) and details on what we're gonna be doing in 6.0

if you check old fanfests you can see roughly what to expect, only that all 3 fanfests will be condensed into one
wintry sable
And the gameplay trailers are usually before launch?
wheat plume
will the trailer, maybe, have spoilers? (Im at the start of SB)

Probably
forest sage
quite likely yeah

We're kind of assuming that the announcement sections that were supposed to be in the now canceled Fan Fests are being condensed into this single presentation.

if you want to avoid story spoilers, avoid the trailer(but the rest of the info should be mostly safe, like new areas and classes)

@leaden ginkgo we aren't allowed to share

What do you guys think? Are they going to add a new limited job or not?
leaden ginkgo
Idk and idc
forest sage
maybe once BLU is more caught up, so in 6.x
leaden ginkgo
I want the overlay
kind gale
apps that do overlays are borderline gray territory
in 6.x most probably we're getting a new job
leaden ginkgo
Wat????
wintry sable
But was limited jobs successful to have more or will they just stick with blue mage? I'm hoping for non-limited jobs honestly
wheat plume
so new jobs aren released with expansions, but with patches before expansions?
forest sage
I think the 2nd update of BLU wa spretty successful, more so than the first, lots of people were doing BLU content
no they're release with expansions
the (assumed) 2 new jobs will be released in 6.0 when the expansion launches
wintry sable
Hopefully three new non limited jobs
gloomy ice
NIN and BLU were exceptions and it's been said that it's a lot of work and to not expect it. It's not impossible to add more in content patches instead of expansions, but it's atypical.
forest sage
it is possible they will add a limited job during 6.x later on, after BLU is caught up, if they feel like making another one, that's just speculation though
kind gale
any of you got any idea of what timezone is used on the FFXIV forum?
faint flare
Gmt for eu links
twilit arch
na is usually pst
forest sage
PST for US I'd guess?
leaden ginkgo
Are we not allowed to use dps overlays
forest sage
technically no, but no actions are taken unless you use them to harass other people
leaden ginkgo
I only want the one that shows skills that boss is gonna use
What would the name of that even be?
zinc orbitBOT
silver ruin
What would the name of that even be?
that one is really really frowned upon
more of a black area vs like a dps meter

upbeat jackal
Does desynth have something akin to armory bonus?
slate arrow
No
upbeat jackal
Kk thanks.
slate arrow
You do gain more levels the higher item level the gear piece you're desynthing
twilit arch
there are two food/medicine buffs you can use though to help boost desynth gains
tinker's calm and bacon broth
jade lava
as a monk, should i use perfect balance on cooldown or should i only use it at the end of a combo?
at level 50 btw, not 80
slender warren
hiya all 🙂 does anyone know if it's possible to "respec" your chocobo companion from DPS to Tank?
faint flare
Yes
forest sage
not sure what you mean at the "end of combo", but it should be used on cooldown for more dmg
faint flare
Reagan peppers
jade lava
not sure what you mean at the "end of combo", but it should be used on cooldown ...
i just mean like, after i've used snap punch or demolish
slender warren
thanks Vinyl!
slate arrow
Alternatively, you can use thanvian onions to level up your chocobo more so you can reach rank 20 and just use stances to swap what your chocobo focuses on
forest sage
generally it's best to use it after refreshing demolish, so you can do stuff with it without having to demolish
but you wouldn't want to wait too long either
jade lava
should i try and make sure twin snakes is up or should i not bother if it would waste time
faint flare
Yes
forest sage
oh you do have leaden fist at 50 I was checking
jade lava
so basically, use it after my dragon kick twin snakes demolish combo
forest sage
so basically you use it like you do in endgame
DK > Bootshine spam
and yeah preferably you refresh twin+demolish first
you should keep twin and demolish together for ease of rotation anyway
jade lava
if i have leaden fist already, would it be good to use bootshine and then perfect balance?
forest sage
yes
jade lava
or even if im just already in opo opo form actually
forest sage
assuming you use it after demolish, do the bootshine first then use PB
if you check the MNK guide it's basically pretty much the same
MNK is a weird class were not much changes once you reach 50
and hasn't changed since ARR, besides that one period during stormblood where stuff was wild
past 50 you'll get additional oGCDs and dmg buffs, but nothing really that changes the core part of the rotation

question: cant seem to find the outlandish man in order to complete some of the crystal quest arc to complete a time to every purpose
im in mor dhona at the cordinates ive seen online, but hes no where around
forest sage
doesn't the quest tell you where to go?
cold steppe
when lvling new crafter class, i should do basic crafting things form book up to 15, and then do leves right?
silver ruin
when lvling new crafter class, i should do basic crafting things form book up to...
leves or ishgard restoration at 20
gc turn ins also arent bad but those are once a day
cold steppe
gochu!
forest sage
ishgard resto is basically infinite leves
but depending on the lvl, doing leves might cost less(and you don't really use them for anything usually)
south portal
If you haven't gotten to that point in lvl/msq is it best just to wait to level crafting/gathering?
silver ruin
If you haven't gotten to that point in lvl/msq is it best just to wait to level ...
people normally recommend being done with msq so you arent zone gated for gathering stuff
forest sage
the MSQ won't take you to crafting/gathering, it's a separate optional thing
silver ruin
^
forest sage
you can start crafting/gathering once you reach 10 and do the class quest so you can change classes
silver ruin
ishgard restoration you need to be at a certain point in heavensward to do, but if you arent at shadowbringers/done with the base expansion msq you wont have access to some of the gathering zones which is why people recommend waiting
south portal
But I assume what @silver ruin said applies? I can't do Diadem until I unlock etc...
silver ruin
But I assume what <@!373722657054523393> said applies? I can't do Diadem until I...
yep
forest sage
you don't have to, you can if you want to, but they have their own level, gear, skills and so on
silver ruin
thats heavensward msq tho
south portal
Ok that's what I figured
jade lava
are guildhests daily?
south portal
I just came back after 5 years and I have some crafting quests leveled but only to 15-30
forest sage
they give garbage xp though
jade lava
but the xp reward from the roulette is daily?
vernal urchin
yes
forest sage
yes all roulette bonus is daily
jade lava
cool ty

Very nooby question here, but how do you proced to next level in potd? When I kill all enemies and interact with that orb thing, it says it glows dimly and nothing more. I just can't get to the room in time, because new enemies spawn
faint flare
Kill enough mobs on the floor to fully activate it then everyone needs to be inside the ring for 3 seconds
granite hound
Oh ok didn't know i had to stand in it. Ty!
forest sage
yeah the orb thing is to rez people, the exit is the circle
cold steppe
exp from the item crafted is based on the amout of steps taken and quality of the item, right?
forest sage
just the quality I think?
