I think he's mentioned before do go do your first dungeon
Like "hey here's this thing that you might wanna do"

He gets mentioned at the very start of the game 
He just disappeared after that though until now since I hit 15

ah right, the actual hall of the novice location is in western la noscea, where is also where the first dungeon is
but the reps in the starter cities have the same function

Not sure if talking to the smith is required to unlock it, but you can also access the training exercises in the duty menu
oak ice
They want you to talk to him at 15, and then you unlock the hall of novices right before the first dungeon

Why are moogles in every ff game
elfin edge
because they're cute
little nimbus
And whats there lore ?
obsidian patio
They’re just a staple of the franchise
little nimbus
Like does anyone acknowledge why they seem to be everywhere?
Even in disney movied

Just like chocobos

They’re a natural part of the world.
obsidian patio
They’re recurring, yes.
little nimbus
Space travellers ?
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
No.
frail loom
The FF games in general all share similar things; Cid, Biggs and Wedge, Moogle/Chocos, even classes appear often. It's how they keep on brand
obsidian patio
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, each game is its own universe and doesn’t interact with the others.
Each game does their twist of the common shared stuff and adds onto them
little nimbus
So they have diffrent lore in each game ?
obsidian patio
Yeah
The only real character that’s “shared” between the games is Gilgamesh, who can hop dimensions
frail loom
Also a little bit after the ARR credits, you'll continue and then NPCs will start bringing Moogles into a part of the story, so you learn a bit onwards from there
obsidian patio
Most of the moogles in this game are basically mailmen
And others being residents of the Shroud, AKA Gridania
Later on you meet another tribe of moogles that live in the clouds
frail loom
I'm still pretty new to XIV myself but if you like the mailmen moogles, you'd also like the IX ones since they do the same stuff with post delivery
Yea that is Culinary

which outdoor furnishing allows you to have your retainer stand outside?

Are there any resources that show how much exp you get in all the lvl 70 dungeons assuming you kill every single mob?

which outdoor furnishing allows you to have your retainer stand outside?
Level 70 dungeons are not very good for exp, you're better off doing Castrum Abania
opaque pewter
I know, but I still wa nt to know.
dire prawn
Does Hall of the Novice fully gear my character or how many challenges are there for it
obsidian patio
Full left-side minus belt, and a ring
The stuff is level 15 but it essentially has High-Quality stats, which keeps it good until like level 30
And the ring is good until level 50
obsidian patio
The leveling story, yeah
dire prawn
I'm at the final exercise

Accessories scale super slowly for 1-50 so wearing the level 28-30 stuff is good enough to 50

Its basically never the correct answer to save anything
Because you'll lose uses
And losing uses is 100% lost
CnS prime use is damage anyway
Slotted under 60s raid buffs
terse grail
they both get used around the same time anyway, but theres no reason to even use carve and split during blood weapon, as only GCDs will give you MP under Blood Weapon (C&S is an oGCD)

your only thought process with CnS is use it on cooldown, and make sure you're not going to overcap in the process

I'm a little over halfway to Lv 18 to get Surecast
open coral
What's a reliable strategy for dodging the brooms mechanic in grand cosmos?
Stand opposite one coming from the other side of the room, but not next to a puddle in an adjacent lane. Then as Vinyl said, move as soon as the brooms to your left and right have passed, and make sure you're not next to the puddle for the lane you just left.
jovial tide
Would it be better to start at a wall lane or center lane?
open coral
I usually try to start in one of the two center lanes.
faint flare
If you're a melee stay with one of the melee lanes
You can keep full uptime during it
open coral
I'll pick the lane that has a puddle closest to the broom opposite me.
faint flare
The boss hitbox covers 3 lanes
open coral
Because the brooms stop their forward movement for three seconds while they spin, giving the brooms in the lanes adjacent to me more time to pass so I have a safe space to move to.

I mean, you can do that, but it's not the easiest way. The easiest way is to help dps.
dire prawn
I do that too of course
open coral
It's also not a valid strategy in all MSQ solo instances.
Some of them you'll have to kill enemies on your own because the NPCs will only help with certain ones.
dire prawn
I'm also not liking that my Medica doesn't work on NPCs when I do have them with me in instances
open coral
Yeah. AoE "party" heals don't work on NPCs because they're not in your party.
So things like Medica, Medica 2, Assize, and Afflatus Rapture won't affect them.
dire prawn
It should just be AoE heals 
open coral
Only direct targeted heals.

twilit arch
it'll be at the conjurer's guild, that said though you need to also meet the main scenario quest requirement of having completed "sylph management" (lv20) to pick it up
so if you can't see it, then you probably need to progress your main scenario quest

They do get to use MCH before completing ARR. Thats sometime thats only possible using the skip.

if you start at level 30, just run palace of the dead with some homies

levels 1-30 is really painfully slow and boring
cold crescent
leveling from level 30 ezpz

The game is making me leave Limsa for Ul'dah ;-;

So is it even worth buying any of the class skips since I’m really close to HW and level 55 with my white mage?

Alright, so I’ll just pass on buying one then. I just feel like I’ve been stuck on level 54-55 for two weeks now grinding these last few quests out in Eorza
cold crescent
like i was saying before, the cutscenes are long but imo try and have the patience for them. the game gets so good if you take your time and immerse yourself in the world and whatnot
doing sidequests can also be a fun source of XP
marsh flower
Yeah everyone says it gets really good at HW
cold crescent
well HW is a peak example of long-form storytelling
marsh flower
Side quests is something I’ll for sure be doing with my next class
cold crescent
and HW relies on you paying attention to long and slow cutscenes and giving a shit about whats going on
dire prawn
Sidequests is how I'll level up my 2nd class until I can spam dungeons for more leveling
cold crescent
hell, the HW story arguably begins in the dragoon questline in some respects
so iunno like
going off the beaten path is rewarded here IMO

When you say dragoon questline do you mean the DRG class quests
cold crescent
yes
just
some of the plot points introduced in the DRG class quests
keep em in the back of your head

Nothing much changes
terse grail
It's like 2 lines of diologue which are different
cold crescent
if you do optional stuff like that
zinc orbitBOT
cold crescent
it ends up mattering and the game notices
and there's things like that everywhere
and thats what makes ARR and HW really cool imo
only thing you can miss that i would say might be important is the bahamut raids
because in those you meet a character named alisaie who becomes very important
and i would say the bahamut raids are sort of her introduction in a lot of ways
terse grail
(technically you meet her in the first minute of starting the game but I digress)
Her character gets fleshed out quite a bit if you do coils of bahamut
cold crescent
the bahamut raids aren't available until after you see the credits for the first time tho, and the cahracter of alisaie doesn't become important until the post-heavensward scenario
so its not like, urgent for you rn
just
i would recommend
PROTIP
with old content like old raids and stuff
its helpful if you join an active free company (guild) which will run that stuff with you
or if you just have some friends lol

i said 'timings of the debuffs', i dont think anyone is dumb enough to go 'i don't know what time this mech goes out, i will not look it up and just ask'
dire prawn
But why in the fuck do I have to pay to travel to Limsa when it's part of my MSQ
faint flare
They only gave you 1 ticket
frigid cedar
can every crafter make the crafteable four lord weapons?
twilit arch
cos airship travel is part of the game's gil sink
marble drift
i said 'timings of the debuffs', i dont think anyone is dumb enough to go 'i don...
you're not on this channel much are you? cause thats a repeated question
forest sage
only crafters for the relevant weapons
frigid cedar
or do I need a specific one?
rigid narwhal
oh
forest sage
blacksmith makes a bunch for example
rigid narwhal
god no
forest sage
but culinarian doesn't make weapons
marble drift
Yeah. Yeah it is
rigid narwhal
i only asked cos i legit couldn't find it and i tend to avoid mtq and others
i tried some text guides but they didnt have it
frigid cedar
so.. which one makes the PLD weapons?
marble drift
Exactly. and thats cool
frigid cedar
armorer?
twilit arch
blacksmith
dire prawn
Oh there's an option to seek passage to the Gold Saucer 🤔
marble drift
but people ask stuff here with no prior research all the time. So we have to be specific
rigid narwhal
😦
frigid cedar
oh. I might need to level blacksmith and armorer
whole wasp
Alright alright. They found what they are looking for.
Lets move on.
forest sage
in some very rare cases, GSM, CRP or ALC, but don't think for any of the triad ones
faint flare
You can give the mats to a crafter and have them make it for you
Just tip them abit of gil for the time
forest sage
if you check a weapon on the market or something, the class required to repair it is also the class that crafts it
dire prawn
Why do I have two 
in Limsa's Drowning Wench that don't belong to any guilds
twilit arch
challenge log is probably one of them
dire prawn
One of them gives me a free aesthetician visit
gloomy ice
Yeah, challenge log and aesthetician.
dire prawn
The other one gives me potions
twilit arch
Aesthetician is basically barber
dire prawn
I should do both of these then right
twilit arch
if the other one is called "Rising to the Challenge" that's the challenge log
dire prawn
It is
twilit arch
ye
faint flare
Definitely challenge log
dire prawn
Alright it's time then
twilit arch
no harm in doing aesthetician unlock, but def do challenge log unlock
dire prawn
But after I eat because I'm hungry
forest sage
generally you should do all the blue quests since they unlock stuff, although for example unlocking 50 dungeons isn't that useful if you just want to level up but stuff on the way is mostly useful
worn notch
can DOL retainers not go for clusters?
forest sage
so you don't have to figure out how to unlock x later on
whole wasp
Challenge log is like those sticker books in theme parks. Do something you would do anyway and get some free stuff.
forest sage
I don't think you can get clusters in ventures no, but I haven't checked in forever
dire prawn
The only blue quests I'm not doing right now are all the class/job ones and then the DoL/DoH ones
Cause I'm focusing on leveling my CNJ to get to WHM and then getting to and beating the Lv 50 MSQ at the end of ARR for my flying unicorn
forest sage
yeah that's fine
worn notch
that sucks
forest sage
just do your own class/job obv but yeah don' tneed to unlock these until you want to play them, they're easy to find
dire prawn
Oh that reminds me is Pugilist the class that upgrades into Monk
dire prawn
What do Pugilists/Monks do 🤔
faint flare
And punch really fast
forest sage
they're one of the more active melee DPS yeah
every GCD is a positional and they have a fairly low GCD at max level
whole wasp
They punch people and do spinny kicks
forest sage
so lots of moving and punching
dire prawn
What's a positional 🤔
whole wasp
The more they punch,the faster they punch
Different effects from hitting mobs from thr back or thr side
forest sage
melee DPS have skills that require you're in a certain position for max dmg/bonus effects
dire prawn
oh
forest sage
well mostly dmg nowadays iirc
dire prawn
Oh is that why you guys rage at SAM that stand in front of bosses
forest sage
most melee DPS have only a few positionals, and you go in position for them but the rest of the time is whatever
but MNK is only positionals
so you constantly have to adjust
and no one besides tanks should be standing in front of bosses
unless it's for a specific mechanic
bosses often have cleaves and breaths and stuff
whole wasp
!faq positionals
zinc orbitBOT
forest sage
and anyone standing in front just gets splattered, plus yeah the SAM would miss their positionals too
whole wasp
Melee skills give bonus for hitting mobs from rear or flank like the picture.
dire prawn
Ohh
whole wasp
They like to sit in the ass corner so they can access both flank and rear easily
dire prawn
Now I know what not to do when I start leveling a melee dps class
forest sage
yeah you minimize movement by standing on the edge, or inside the model
whole wasp
Tanks are also very helpful and will turn the mobs away from you if you are melee
dire prawn
So when I do hit 30 and can go do the quest for WHM do I still go to the CNJ guild in Gridania or is the WHM quest somewhere else
whole wasp
The WHM trainer starts at the CNJ guild
faint flare
It moves
forest sage
azll job quests start at the class NPC after you're done
they'll send you to your job trainer
faint flare
After completing the transition
forest sage
and then you just follow that
dire prawn
So back to CNJ guild once I hit 30 and then it'll send me to wherever I need to go for WHM
whole wasp
Yup
faint flare
If you progressed far enough into the story as well yes
forest sage
although you need to have advanced the MSQ enough too
faint flare
It requires story progress as well
dire prawn
It's a Lv 20 MSQ right
faint flare
Up to slyph management, which is around lv20
whole wasp
Requires doing the lvl 20 msq yup
dire prawn
Is the prerequisite
oak ice
Remember the CNJ exclusive mount quest at 30
forest sage

oak ice

manic flare
what's the name of the song that begins with "to all my children...."
forest sage
answers
manic flare
i believe it's one of the main FFXIV songs
whole wasp
Yea its not some miss it.
faint flare
Answers
manic flare
is that an ARR song?
faint flare
Yes
forest sage
yeah
oak ice
Ye
whole wasp
Yup
dire prawn
So can I get it when I'm still CNJ or do I have to get WHM and then go back for my unicorn
manic flare
that's the louisoix song correct?
oak ice
Add phase during T13
whole wasp
Still CNJ is fine
manic flare
also how do you get that orchestion roll?
forest sage
theme song, also played in coil, can get the roll from there
faint flare
It plays ib Coils, specifically during Bahamut
dire prawn
Oh is the Lv 30 CNJ class quest separate from the quest to get WHM?
oak ice
Craft it
whole wasp
also how do you get that orchestion roll?
Marketboard or very annoying craft. Needs like 3 other songs to make it iirc
forest sage
it's crafted with faded rolls from all 3 coil bosses
faint flare
3 pieces
faint flare
From turn 5, 9 and 13
forest sage
you do the 30 CNJ, then you get the WHM job class
manic flare
is miniature aetheryte a level 80 recipe?
faint flare
No
manic flare
i can't find it in my recipes
faint flare
You just buy from grand company
forest sage
it's a GC item
faint flare
For seals
manic flare
my crafting log
twilit arch
its not a craft
dire prawn
When I do get WHM does CNJ disappear from my class/job list?
faint flare
White mage is conjuerer
whole wasp
wat
Doing the lvl 30 cnj quest unlocks the lvl 30 whm quest. Doing the lvl 3p whm quest unlocks whm.
forest sage
it's replaced yeah
dire prawn
Doing the lvl 30 cnj quest unlocks the lvl 30 whm quest. Doing the lvl 3p whm qu...
Ohh
whole wasp
Being whm gives you extra stuff ontop of your cnj stuff
forest sage
you'll still be gaining CNJ xp and you can technically be a CNJ if you want, but on the class/job screen it'll show white mage only
whole wasp
Its a strict upgrade
dire prawn
So I should do the Lv 30 class quest, then the unicorn sidequest and the Lv 30 WHM job quest as soon as I hit 30 then right
faint flare
You can do it after but you'll need to temporarily remove the soul stone
dire prawn
Will it require more running back and forth
faint flare
Yep
oak ice
Yes
dire prawn
I don't have a soul stone 🤔
whole wasp
prob have to run around for the unicorn
you get a soul stone when you become white mage
faint flare
You'll get it when you het white mage
oak ice
You get it from the whm quest
dire prawn
Oh
faint flare
It turns you into it
whole wasp
hold cane > conjurer. hold cane, wear soul stone > white mage
faint flare
Nope
whole wasp
its the quest requirements
oak ice
Nobody knows
whole wasp
¯_(ツ)_/¯
dire prawn
oh
faint flare
Because its classed as conjuerer onlu
fresh lodge
You can just take your job stone off once you become a WHM

My friend just lost a house, bc they havent logged in, if i have rights to the house is there any way i can check what was lost?
twilit arch
there's pretty much nothing you can do as a tenat if the house was auto-demolished
they need to log in to reclaim gil/items

That's a bummer, their account got locked so might as well count everything in there as lost

What weapon should I go for whm and ast
marble drift
their weapons are different. White Mages use canes and Astrologians use globes
dire prawn
I has a probably stupid question
marble drift
we're experts in those. go ahead
dire prawn
But if two new players party up together can they progress through the MSQ together or are there instances where you're forced to do the MSQ solo
faint flare
There's alot of solo instances
twilit arch
you'll have to disband party when you hit the solo duties
faint flare
You can do dungeons and overworld stuff together
twilit arch
but other than that, usually can do msq together

its a pretty decent chunk of exp so its good to unlock when you can
hallow grove
so i cleared umbra savage, and i only received one book from it. is that normal? also what does "chests" mean in PF
manic flare
what does this legacy tag mean?
rugged flicker
How exactly do you atherically reduce something? Is it a command er...
manic flare
and why is it the only world that has it
dire prawn
Legacy tag means that server's been there since the launch of FFXIV
Oldest server on the datacenter, in other words
twilit arch
legacy means that it was a 1.0 world or merged 1.0 worlds. doesn't have much meaning today tbh
forest sage
specifically since 1.0
twilit arch
its largely for 1.0 players since it indicates that their character is likely on one of those worlds
hallow grove
are you only able to obtain one book per week for savage?
lost grove

Tldr: books are basically totems...chests are reduced if someone has cleared this week
lost grove
Which to go for between the two
marble drift
Highest item level.
twilit arch
@rugged flicker assuming the item you gathered as a collectable can be reduce, it should be on the sub command menu
forest sage
relic MIGHT be ok in a few weeks, but for now it's basically worse than crafted weapons
faint flare
Thats jusy party bonus
forest sage
they removed that iirc, you get 1% dmg for each role though
faint flare
Astro
forest sage
everyone had TP before
forest sage
it was only used to sprint for casters though
faint flare
Thats from Heavensward

and it meant TP users couldn't sprint as a result, and also ran out of TP when spamming aoes
lost grove
Ok ty@faint flare

so you'll get a book always, but then there are chests if the whole raid hasn't claimed theirs?

yes which is why if you want chests you join a 2 chest party

Hey how do you find ATMA fates? do they just appear randomly?

Oh
high owl
I'm a paladin so it doesn't matter which fate im in at all then?
twilit arch
nope
faint flare
Do them all
twilit arch
ideally yeah do all of them until you get your drop
high owl
Oh so I have to do all of them
forest sage
atma drop in any fate in the region(but not always)
so you do fates until you get the atma for that area, then move to another
rugged flicker

I have a tupuxuara, Wiki says that it's reduceable but it's not letting me.

twilit arch
yeah

if you're a fisher yeah
