questions-and-help

[cold steppe]

that i understand but why the 0.5sish delay only works when cast is nearly completed?

[dire prawn]

So 0.5s left on a cast time is when I can start moving my WHM around? 🤔

[warped nest]

It is leniency designed to benefit you

[cold steppe]

i see

i thought it was just simply inconsistency

[warped nest]

Intended leniency + delay between you and game server

@dire prawn practice to get a better grasp of the timing

[cold steppe]

i suppose it doesnt work before that to allow you to cast diffrent GCD in case you need to switch faster

in case of emergency

cuz otherway you'd lock yourself for 0.5s without casting anyway

[warped nest]

interrupting cast is not meant for you to swap spell mid cast

[dire prawn]

At least when you interrupt a cast it doesn't drain your mana

[maiden crest]

I have bought EU key for the game instead of NA, is there anyway I can fix this ?

[warped nest]

The 0.5s doesn't make it easier or harder to cast your next spell. The game already has built-in skill/spell queueing, and that has nothing to do with the 0.5s slide

Issa, you can ask around to see if anyone else make the opposite mistake

And offer to trade key

Otherwise, no

[lament basalt]

is there any loot when completing a trial?

[green grail]

depends on the trial

msq trials no, endgame (or old endgame) usually yes

[lament basalt]

i wish there were more trials

[cold steppe]

I see

there's plenty of trials

[warped nest]

Currently, off the top of my head, I count around 30 trials

Not including EX

[lament basalt]

are there any that arent tied to the msq that you can start while leveling?

and are there any more dungeons than just the ones that are unlocked from the guy in vesper bay

[warped nest]

Everything is gated behind msq progression

If it is Eden (normal)

All of them can be done with Duty finder

[warped nest]

Do more

There are a few optional dungeons

One sec

!faq contentunlock

[zinc orbit]

Content Location FAQ

A Realm Reborn Content
Heavensward Content
Stormblood Content
Shadowbringers Content

[warped nest]

I think they are listed here

Only A Realm Reborn have optional dungeons you'd need to look out for yourself

All dungeons (except one, afaik) in Heavensward, Stormblood, and Shadowbringers are non optional

[hot eagle]

shisui in stormblood is optional

[warped nest]

Yup, lvl 63

Regarding the trial question, raid and alliance raid plays the same as trials, more or less. The key differences are their loot and what purpose they serve in the gearing process.

Raid is just boss fight

[leaden ginkgo]

could anyone help with a trial in stormblood

weve been waiting in queue for a while

[warped nest]

Alliance raid is 24 player boss rush, with small amount of walking between bosses. Sometimes with some mini bosses.

Which trial?

[lean summit]

I'm tryna queue for my own trial but it's quiet server hours lol

[warped nest]

It is early morning on the east coast right now

[steady linden]

Hey guys ! Im new here and come back on the game after 2 years (omg) I would love to know how find the fox lady alea for the tamamo ears, im in tears cause i dont get it haha thank you so much in advance ;____;

[obsidian patio]

This discord likes to keep track of when world fates like Foxy Lady is expected to pop, so I recommend checking the chaos channels

https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv

[steady linden]

thanks a lot 😄

[hot eagle]

alternative you can get them also with 2 khloe silver certificates

[steady linden]

yeah i saw that but... well... its pretty hard to have only one line haha

i have a very strong bad luck

[full latch]

Just wondering. Story question. Do hybrid races exist?

[hot eagle]

#archived-lore-spoilers it's probably more a question for there

[obsidian patio]

Yes, though they’re mostly considered a social taboo

[magic light]

what were the 2 sam buff ksills?

[warped nest]

Then there's Hissatsu: Kaiten, but you were probably asking for Shifu and Jinpu

[chilly field]

wheres the rogue starting city?

also if i started as an arcanist how would i level rogue without the quests?

[nova falcon]

Limsa Lominsa

[nova falcon]

Hunting Log

[chilly field]

i read online squad missions how./when do i get those?

[cold steppe]

does it matter what bait i have for ixali quest fish?

[open coral]

Squadron missions are a feature of your Grand Company. Once you raise your rank with your GC to... Second Sergeant? Maybe? I don't remember exactly. You'll gain access to the squadron barracks where you will be able to build a squadron of recruits (who apply as you finish weekly challenges in your challenge log) who can be either sent on missions or brought to specific dungeons with you. @chilly field

[chilly field]

thanks what about palace of the dead i heard u can level side jobs there too

[open coral]

Palace of the Dead is unlocked via the level 17 "The House That Death Built", which starts at the adventurer's guild in New Gridania.

[chilly field]

thank you also do you know what kind of weapons ninjas use?

[open coral]

Daggers.

[chilly field]

nice thanks they look really cool 😄

[obsidian patio]

Squadrons are unlocked at 2nd lieutenant

[mortal root]

can other players see what i rolled on loot?

[marble drift]

after its been handed out yes

[lament basalt]

whats the cooldown on adventurer in need reward?

[green grail]

there isn't one

[green grail]

it's only the roulette daily bonus with bouncing arrows next to an exp symbol that's limited, adventurer in need with specific amounts of exp and gil is unlimited

[lament basalt]

is it worthwile to keep joining those groups?

or is the xp only super good for the first one of the day

[green grail]

only really worth for the daily bonus yeah

[lament basalt]

how much voice acting is there near the endgame main story quests?

[tawny quest]

There’s more voice acting as you continue through msq

[lament basalt]

okay cool so far this has been a button mash simulator to skip dialogue lol

[cold steppe]

you can get crafter/gatherer scribs only in mor dhona?

[obsidian patio]

Any scrip exchange person in the various cities/endgame hubs give scrips

Limsa/Ul’dah/Gridania/Mor Dhona/Idyllshire/Rhalgr’s/Eulmore

[cold steppe]

ah i see

and i assume to which one i go also depends on my gatherer lvl? or all of'em are the same?

[obsidian patio]

All the same

But if you want the current expansion master recipes or white scrip gear you need to go to Eulmore

[cold steppe]

gochu

i primarly wanted scribs to get the exp thingy

[sullen lark]

Is there a way to make the FF icon blink or make a noise when the queue pops?

Because when I'm tabbed out I miss queue pops and I'm actually getting a bit upset

[obsidian patio]

System config > play system sounds when tabbed out

[sullen lark]

Thank you

[obsidian patio]

Or something like that

[sullen lark]

Alright, System Sounds, it's on now

No more missing queue pops

Thanks Wynne

[iron rock]

Hi guys, what's the best way to farm yellow gathering scrips? I've already done my custom deliveries

[cold steppe]

whats the diffrence between collectible cedar log and normal cedar log for example?

[marble drift]

collectables can only be turned in

regular items can be used for other crafts

[cold steppe]

but i mean, how do i know that its a collectible

[marble drift]

it'll have a special symbol for starters

[cold steppe]

there should be the box sign next to them right?

yeah

but i literlly cannot find one with it despite looking at place game told me where i can find those

i found other collectibles which i cant turn in yet on another hand tho

im honestly confused

maybe before i'll look completly like an idiot, whats diffrenc ebetween collectible dealer and appriser?

[timid geyser]

Dealer sells you stuff for scripts

Appriser takes your collectibles for scripts and exp

Unless it's the opposite

Idk I'm French so

[cold steppe]

ugh

[timid geyser]

What

Script gear is basically the cheapest option for level 60 and 70

The cheapest and best option

[cold steppe]

ok i found it, im just stupid

yeah it wasnt the correct npc so i was looking for wrong thing REEE

[manic flare]

what kind of item needs do journeyman salvager and junkmonger fulfill in terms of housing vendor npcs?

[simple shore]

Journeyman Salvager is the same as the Calamity Salvager you can find in cities. Mostly you can buy one-time reward equipment from them in-case you discarded it.

annnd if my memory isnt failing me, junkmongers have some low quality dyes and also Dark Matter for repairs.

[manic flare]

what kind of dark matter does scaevan gear use

[simple shore]

Grade 7

[worthy rain]

Is there a method to skip ARR msq?
Or any tip to make the 100 msq of between ARR and HW?

[scarlet arrow]

you can spend real money if you want to

but, playing through them now, the ability to fly in ARR zones VASTLY decreases the time spend on the post-ARR portion of the MSQ

so while there are still 80 quests between the end of 2.0 and the beginning of 3.0, the grind to get to heavensward isn't nearly as bad as it used to be (IMO)

[cold steppe]

just to make sure, commecrial survival manual works for fisher, correct?

he's still considered a gathering class right

[twilit arch]

yes

[cold steppe]

great, thanks

[dusk crystal]

Been trying for so long, my final spell never drops, and it's a 2 star spell called Level 5 Petrify I saw the mob cast it 5 times in the final boss, and I killed it after I saw it and no drop, what am I doing wrong?

[twilit arch]

are you running the dungeon sync'd

[dusk crystal]

Nope, I tried finding it synced in PF but no one is intrested also my friends recommend me to do it unsync because it's a 2 star

[twilit arch]

Then its RNG

[faint flare]

Always do dungeons synced if possible

Just get anyone

Dont need to be blus

[dusk crystal]

They won't be interested though

[faint flare]

Ask your FC or whatever

Then dip out after you get it

Takes like 5-10mins

[dusk crystal]

I asked my FC and they said: "Can't you get the spell unsync?"

[twilit arch]

then you slap back with yes you can, but it's 100% drop rate if you do it sync

whereas unsync you're hoping rng to favour you

so if they do the run with you sync, its a quick 5-10mins and you get it once the run is done

[dusk crystal]

Okay

But they better watch the adds so they can cast the spell

[faint flare]

Remind them to stop if they dont

[dusk crystal]

Okay then

[quasi thistle]

when i do tanking... for some reason i feel the healer is working extra harder than it should be.... at some duty, the fault for example, some dps died twice...., i wonder if it's a part of my inexperience as a tank ? i always make sure i was on the top on enmity list of every enemies and avoid the AoE, using damage mitigation... but for some reason, the dps is dying a lot....

[faint flare]

If the dps is dying then its typically cause they stood in the bad. If you have aggro on everything then thats the only damage they would ever take

[quasi thistle]

even i on the top of enmity, sometimes the boss still targeting others with some skill.. i wonder if that is a part of boss mechanics ? is there anything i can do about that ? interject skill sometimes doesn't work...

[faint flare]

Thats boss mechanics

Nothing you can do

!faq interrupt

[zinc orbit]

Interrupt

[faint flare]

Interject only works on skills with that kind of cast bar

[quasi thistle]

yes, sometimes when i use it it says "Interject has no effect" or smt

[faint flare]

Because you timed it too late

Its only for PULSATING cast bars

[quasi thistle]

ah.. dang... i need more training.... or need to pay more attention

[twilit arch]

there's a fair number of ARR castbars

that technically can be interjected but just cast too quickly

[faint flare]

Its very clear when you see it

[leaden ginkgo]

I’m going to create a new character in North American server now, there’s many of them to choose, so Aether, Primal or Crystal which one is recommended? Is crystal more focused on crafting? Thanks in advance!

[quasi thistle]

i think all server is equal, just language preference ?

[scarlet arrow]

Crystal is more RP-focused, while Aether has a slightly higher concentration of high-end raiders. Ultimately it doesn't matter particularly much unless you already have friends on NA servers, in which case you'll want to pick the same datacenter that they are on

[proud willow]

yeah, exactly that ^

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok me not that competitive so crystal probably fits better

[scarlet arrow]

again, it really doesn't matter

[leaden ginkgo]

What about Primal?

[rigid narwhal]

if you want to raid, with any regularity, choose primal or aether. crystal isn't bad, it just has much less activity on that front.

[manic flare]

you can often interrupt dungeon minibosses, but not main bosses

[rigid narwhal]

most people i know with crystal alts are ehhh on it

[leaden ginkgo]

I see, thanks!

[worthy rain]

You are refering the change of FR update? That they made faster those 100 quests?

[scarlet arrow]

they trimmed a bunch of them off completely

[simple shore]

"Easier" isnt necessarily the word. They were always easy.

[scarlet arrow]

so the 100 quests are now 80 (although with Crystal Tower now being de-facto MSQ I think the actual number of quests to get to HW didn't change all that much)

[worthy rain]

Did not change?

[faint flare]

It did

20 quests were removed

But crystal tower is now mandatory

[scarlet arrow]

there are fewer actual quests

[worthy rain]

ARR is so slow, just going around and around, and then, 100 or 80 more msq

[strange coral]

CT is only 8 quests

[worthy rain]

Till HW, when it gets well and interesting, what a grind

[twilit arch]

just going to say

that going in with the mindset of "post arr is boring"

is going to make it worse, when the truth is post arr is not that bad and it sets up a lot of points for later on

[scarlet arrow]

^

[twilit arch]

and 2.4-2.55 especially set up for HW

[scarlet arrow]

all of the plot points introduced between 2.0 and 3.0 WILL pay off at some point

[twilit arch]

so they're pretty important, though i will agree that some of the quests themselves are not always interesting

post arr as a whole is quite important

[worthy rain]

Yes of course important, and before post ARR also, but msq are just meaningless travelling to npcs

[scarlet arrow]

which flying makes much faster

[worthy rain]

And then, to another NPCs, so boring

[twilit arch]

hw doesn't change that much

while sure, there's going to be points where you fight things. the msq is largely "go talk to npc"

[proud willow]

All quests are travelling to NPCs when you get right down to it

[scarlet arrow]

you're going to to be going from NPC to NPC and talking a bunch throughout the entire game

[worthy rain]

But somehow people say worst is arr and post ARR, after it, it changes

So that is why I asked how to pass fast the around 280 msq of arr

[twilit arch]

and that's why i am pushing back on that idea

because if you go in with the mindset that it sucks, it makes it worse

instead of just going in with "lets enjoy the ride'

ARR builds up a lot of the stuff that makes the expansions good, in terms of story

its a lot of worldbuilding, which while isn't the most exciting, is very important

[kind burrow]

how do you disable the one time password arrangement

?*

[strange coral]

You have to use mogstation to remove it

[twilit arch]

to remove one time password from your account

oh well that's the physical version's removal but steps are largely the same for software

difference is that 3 will be "Select “Adjust Software Token (Smartphone application) settings” "

[kind burrow]

אישמל טםו הקרט צובי!

oh oops

that was wrong language

thank you very much!

[short loom]

is there a place for like lvl 70 80 crafting yellow scripts?

[true citrus]

When using a controller. can I set it so L1 or R1 act as a hotbar just the same as L2 or R2?

[worthy rain]

There is an option to change buttons, a pad appears on screen, dont know where tho

[true citrus]

i know where that is, but it doesnt allow me (to my knowledge) to change it to such an option @worthy rain

System > Gamepad > button configuration

[worthy rain]

You can change for example jump, but not hotbar? I dont know then

[true citrus]

Sadly it only gives a few options

i really want L1 /R1 to act like, ctrl, alt or shift yknow?

[leaden ginkgo]

A lot of the quests are a bit too difficult right now, should I focus on leveling and side quests for a bit?

I'm level 41

[faint flare]

Holding different triggers. Like L2+R2 already are like modifers

[leaden ginkgo]

I keep getting defeated during monster fights

[faint flare]

Get better gear

[leaden ginkgo]

what gear should I buy

[faint flare]

If you meet the minimum lvl for a quest then you can do it

Keep gear equal to your level

Do your job quests and stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

should I get new weapon too?

[faint flare]

Always

[leaden ginkgo]

I caught up with those

[faint flare]

Weapons are the biggest upgrades

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm a paladin doing the level 40 quests but keep getting defeated

It seems like I'm getting ganged up on

unfair fight tbh

lol

[faint flare]

Use defensive cooldowns and aoe them down

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm using my defense spells 😛

[faint flare]

Have your chocobo out as well for healing

Every job can handle 3 v 1

Especially tanks

[leaden ginkgo]

its like 7 v 1

[faint flare]

Then yeah you're pulling too many

[leaden ginkgo]

pulling too many?

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

It's my job quest

[faint flare]

If there's that many for a job quest then they're generally very weak

[gritty cedar]

i think u kill them too slow so the other ones spawn in and overwhelm u

[elfin hollow]

Hi everyone 🙂 Got a quick question: just bought the complete pack and wanted to play Samurai. For now Ive been playing a Paladin at Level 40~. Its written i have to have a Warrior/ Mage at lvl 50. So would a Paladin not count? :/

[strange coral]

Any combat class counts for the requirement

[slate arrow]

they mean a Disciple of War or Disciple of Magic

Aka a physical or magical job in general

[elfin hollow]

so are tanks considered a combat class as well?

and thanks for the answer btw 🙂

[strange coral]

Yes

They fall under Disciple of War

[elfin hollow]

ah okay thanks guys 🙂

This game seems to have a nice community. Thanks a lot and have a nice day 🙂

[quasi thistle]

after i trying tank class, i feel that they can do as good as dps class, other than generating more enmity

[faint flare]

Tanks are like what, 60% ish of a dps job or something

[left cedar]

How can I start another bozja relic? Do I have to be level 80?

[placid bane]

question, can a scholar wear this?

[faint flare]

Need to be 80 to pick up the quest

No

[placid bane]

ouch.

[left cedar]

Damn, okay. Thanks

I can't go into bozja with my level 70 dragoon, what would happen if I went in with my level 80 white mage and then switched to dragoon?

[gritty cedar]

u can’t

[left cedar]

Ahh okay

What's the level requirement, 71?

[hot eagle]

yeah need to be 71+

[leaden ginkgo]

vinyl tails ily

had to spend a large chunk of my gil on gear but after a bit of a grind in this one quest I completed my level 40 paladin quest

had to use a bunch of hi hp potions to supplement

[open coral]

Why did you spend gil on gear?

[worthy rain]

The most responsability is in healer or tank?

[open coral]

Yes @worthy rain

[worthy rain]

But who more?

[open coral]

There's no clear answer to that. Both the healer and the tank have responsibility in combat. You can't value one over the other.

[little swift]

Every job has equal responsibility

Theres no job better than another

And any mindset that could lead to that is wrong

[worthy rain]

I think dps is lot less responsability than to protect healer from small ones, or another dps

[little swift]

Your role in an instance is always replaceable

[wispy parcel]

Tanks have to keep aggro to stop people from dying.

Healers make sure the tank doesnt die

DPS are mitigation as there is no better mitigation then a dead mob

Its pretty all around

[little swift]

False. If dps don't do their damage you're making everyone's lives harder

[south mesa]

I'm trapped inside a dungeon that has been completed and has 30 minutes left and I cannot leave. Disconnected while in the raid and now its kinda bugged.

Any way to fix?

[open coral]

Dps are responsible for paying attention to mechanics and not getting hit unnecessarily.

[leaden ginkgo]

can you teleport out?

[rigid wolf]

Guys. Im lvl 33 but never got a soul crystal from thaumatuge quest line

[south mesa]

nope, duty finder wont load either

[rigid wolf]

Wat did i do wrong

[open coral]

If it's a dungeon that's completed, you should be able to either leave through the portal in the final boss room or by using the Duty menu.

[faint flare]

!faq job

[worthy rain]

Yes of course, make damage, but I mean apart from that, not like healer or tank imo

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[faint flare]

Continue story

You're behind

[manic flare]

@south mesa which dungeon? btw, you can press U while in the dungeon and just leave

[rigid wolf]

Ok on lord of inferno mql mission

[open coral]

If the dps are getting hit by unnecessary mechanics or aren't doing enough damage, then the burden on the tank and healer become greater.

[wispy parcel]

DPS also have the job of being responsible for the majority of boss mechanics later on

[little swift]

Its not any more or less important. There's no argument here. Dps can also use their role actions to assist tanks and healers and make it easier

They usually have more mechanics to deal with

[south mesa]

Its Titan dungeon and the portal wont work.
as well as U wont bring anything up

[faint flare]

Alot of people aren't capable of doing good damage and fail at the responsibility of a dps

[little swift]

Sure haha press buttons easy but you're still responsible for carrying team damage

[open coral]

Have you tried quitting out of the game and re-entering again @south mesa ?

[little swift]

Dps doing less damage than tanks and healers are liabilities in higher level content

They matter just as.much

[south mesa]

yeah, it just brings me back to the dungeon

[leaden ginkgo]

can my friendd from another server share estate with me?

[open coral]

And it doesn't reset the menu?

[little swift]

No

[open coral]

You said it's Titan, right? Have you tried dying?

[wispy parcel]

Like honestly, its not something you'll notice early on but DPS have to do quite a bit in boss fights mechanics wise

[worthy rain]

The multiplayer modes are: guildhest (duty finder), dungeons, raids, pvp

What more to choose? (Duty finder take some minutes to find)

[south mesa]

thats what started the bug

[little swift]

Does it not respawn you

[wispy parcel]

Those are ur daileys, do all of them

[open coral]

Don't bother with guildhest daily roulette.

That's worthless.

[wispy parcel]

Good xp and gil

[open coral]

But the others are worth the time.

[wispy parcel]

Oh yea guildhests stop at 40 yea

Then there no point in truth for that one

[little swift]

I mean its fine for challenge log

[digital raptor]

This.

EZ gil.

[little swift]

If you want a bit of extra gil for minimal effort

[wispy parcel]

Just dont do them more than once a day

The daily bonus is just that once a day

[south mesa]

okay , just got booted out of the dungeon dead and unable to do anything.
going to close and reopen the game to see what happens

[worthy rain]

What you mean by "daileys"?

I asked because duty finder is fun, and are a lot to choose, but takes some minutes to match

[open coral]

Roulettes have a once-daily reward for doing them.

[little swift]

The bonus reward is reset daily

!daily

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Daily Reset:

0 Days, 22 Hours, 27 Minutes, 9 Seconds

[worthy rain]

Daily ok

[little swift]

Which happened 1.5hours ago

You don't have to do them every day but its nice

[open coral]

You only get the bonus one time per day. Subsequent uses of the roulette system for each roulette offer no additional rewards.

[civic spoke]

My red mage is currently 56, is there a good zone I can quest in, in that level range, to get good xp while I wait for queue pops?

[warm snow]

Do beast tribe quests

Levelling via monsters in the overworld isn't really a thing you do for jobs

[wispy parcel]

Heavensward beat tribes and some leves

[little swift]

Coerthas western Highlands is decent fate space

[open coral]

56 would be Heavensward, so HW beast tribes in the Ruby Sea or The Lochs.

[worthy rain]

Yes roulette gives a few exp and gil, but faster for match

Anyway, other multiplayer modes may be faster to start

[warm snow]

And combat leves stop appearing after lv60

[scarlet arrow]

those are Stormblood zones 😛

[open coral]

gdi

[placid zephyr]

Are there certain jobs that compliment other jobs? Like would a white mage assist a paladin more than a different healer etc

[open coral]

Clearly my brain is non-functional.

[warm snow]

Sea of clouds and drVanian hinterlands

[warm snow]

No

[open coral]

Nope.

[little swift]

Dravanian forelands

[scarlet arrow]

jobs are fully independent of each other

[full trail]

Roulette gives quite a bit of gil. I ran like 5 now I have 30 k

[open coral]

Only your first roulette of the day gives you the bonus.

[quasi thistle]

i got 3 wipes on single duty.... all of them from normal monster... uh...

[little swift]

Not hinter hinter is outside idyllshire

[warm snow]

The closest thing to that is that stacking the same jobs isn't usually a good idea

[digital raptor]

There's a few that stack fine, but generally you want variety.

[open coral]

Then someone in your party is doing something wrong. Or if it's a solo instance, then you're doing something wrong.

[warm snow]

So having 2 astrologians isn't a good idea as their card buffs don't stack

[worthy rain]

High level ones you mean then in the roulette
The guildhest are fun, but take time to start

[quasi thistle]

me the tank... on the dungeon cave that gives goldbreath debuff

[open coral]

Oh. Aurum Vale. Pull small.

[scarlet arrow]

that room is notoriously tricky

[quasi thistle]

the healer got snatched by the big monster, and ended up pulling bunch

[scarlet arrow]

particularly if you don't pay attention to where you are standing

[open coral]

As a tank, the trick to that room is to grab the first mob and pull it back towards the path where you enter the room.

So it's away from where the other mobs patrol.

[ember shadow]

ya u wanna stick to the left most wall

[open coral]

Kill that, then hug the left wall.

Watch the patrols, and keep to single pulls, and you should be okay.

[wispy parcel]

no one likes Aurum Vale, dont worry

[quasi thistle]

the thing i hate the most is when i the one got pulled instead...

[open coral]

That dungeon is notoriously rough because the sync level is just before any of the healers get their really effective AoE healing.

[scarlet arrow]

or, if you're going for maximum xp and want to kill everything, pull one pack at a time and bring them back to where you killed the previous pack

[worthy rain]

Someone said that you can do faster the postARR msq because flying, but are not flying mounts exclusive of HW?

[open coral]

All mounts can fly.

[worthy rain]

I thought fastest method is teleporting all the way

[faint flare]

Everything flies

[scarlet arrow]

as of 5.3 you can fly in ARR zones after defeating Ultima Weapon

[faint flare]

You get flying for arr after turning in ultimate weapon

[wispy parcel]

You have to beat ARR to fly in those zones tho

[worthy rain]

Ok, edit then only for postarr

[open coral]

Teleporting around is only faster when you're moving between remote zones. Within a zone flying is just as efficient - sometimes more efficient.

[wispy parcel]

Heavensward forward youll have to find aether currents in every expansion zone to fly

[open coral]

Aether currents are mostly in the vicinity of MSQ objectives though, so that's not hard to do as you go.

[quasi thistle]

for every wipes, my confidence as tank is greatly diminish

[open coral]

@quasi thistle What kind of healer do you have, and what level is their weapon?

Also what level is your gear?

[wispy parcel]

Yea dont worry Aurum Vale is rough even for vet players

[quasi thistle]

i didn't pay attention to the healer because there is no sprouts icon, so i guess the healer is already 80-ish player

[robust crow]

idk about that lol. vet players should have no problems with AV

[full trail]

Do you get gear from primal fights ? I dont recall getting anything from ifrit

[robust crow]

aurum vale is primarily a noob trap

[open coral]

Nah, lack of sprout icon just means they've finished SB and have a certain number of hours /playtime.

You do not get rewards from Primals, no @full trail

[faint flare]

Only hard mode versions did in arr

Otherwise its fron extremes

[full trail]

Ok

[quasi thistle]

my gear is augmented scavean from boost default

[wispy parcel]

you say that but Ive had tanks that are 80 that cant handel it

[open coral]

Hard and EX versions do drop weapons and... accessories? I think?

But the normal ones don't.

[robust crow]

I wouldn't call them vets then

just cuz they're 80 doesn't mean they're good

they could have just bought the class

[open coral]

As a veteran healer, I struggle in AV if the rest of the party refuses to stay close enough that I can Medica them.

Because that and C3 are the only AoE heals that WHM has at level 49, and it sucks

[robust crow]

you really only need to keep the tank alive lol

if the dps is being dumb then let them die

[south mesa]

Its fixed

[open coral]

\o/

[robust crow]

as long as the tank is alive your party won't wipe

[open coral]

That's false

But also if the dps are dying, I'm probably struggling to keep the tank up too.

[limber swan]

questions

[open coral]

Basically, if the dps are dying it's because I've been focusing the tank, and I'm going oom.

[robust crow]

why would that be the case? it's easier to cure 2 one person than to medica 3 people

[limber swan]

How do i get into joining a static and doing raids and what not?

I wanna test my limits

and be a real gamer

[south mesa]

if you wait 10 minutes without doing anything you will get kicked for inactivity then you will re spawn outside dead and then reload the game. This will spawn you at your home crystal and it works....... @open coral o7

[open coral]

Because MP is a thing, and if I'm spamming C2 on the tank, even Lucid Dreaming isn't going to keep my MP up.

[open coral]

Yeah, that was basically what I was about to suggest when you said the dungeon had kicked you.

[robust crow]

idk man if you and the tank are veterans there shouldn't be any issues with AV ever

[open coral]

You would be surprised.

[robust crow]

multiple times I've healed and tanked the entire first room

no problems

[wispy parcel]

Theres usually Party Finder groups that say looking for static members or something of the sort, or you can find static recruitment online on the offical forums or the Balance discord

Might be hard to find one now tho

[robust crow]

but anyway

[wispy parcel]

Since the current tier is already done to death now

[south mesa]

yeah it was my first port of call when it kicked me haha

[limber swan]

ugh

[robust crow]

you don't need a static to do raids, first of all

[limber swan]

Why cant things be easy for once

i mean

Yeah

I know that.(sort of) but idk i just wanted a team to be apart of

You know?

[robust crow]

literally just go unlock e9s and join a learning party

well, most teams are going to appreciate it if you have even some prior experience

[open coral]

Finding a static is always going to be easier just before or after the beginning of a new raid tier, since that's when teams are most likely to be recruiting.

[limber swan]

I see

So what should i do now?

Cuz im a GNB(soon to be transitioning to a DRK)

[quasi thistle]

just clear it after 3 wipes, all 3 wipes from normal mob, no wipes from boss... i hate Aurum Vale....

[robust crow]

assuming you've unlocked e9s and have the item level requirement, it takes you less than 20 minutes to watch a video on its mechanics and then join a learning party

[open coral]

Do what Renaulte suggested. Unlock the content and find a learning party in PF.

[wispy parcel]

Ur best bet are randos in prog groups

[little swift]

hit the minimum ilvl and join a learning party

[open coral]

It helps if you watch a mechanics video before hand.

[quasi thistle]

i feel boss is easier to tank rather than normal mobs in Aurum Vale

[little swift]

then check #603040697884475393 and other recruitment channels

and see what people are looking for

[limber swan]

Ok

[hallow marsh]

so I just reinstalled the game and it's working now but it won't recoginize some of the keybinds it already has in the system like C for character and I for inventory, what do I do to fix that?

[wispy parcel]

Minimum ilvl is currently 505 for the current raids right?

[little swift]

there are still fresh tier prog groups

500

[robust crow]

also

I assume you already know how to play your class well

[open coral]

You can try rebinding them under "Keybinds" in the Escape menu.

[faint flare]

Dungeon bosses are pathetic, trash mobs in general are the real threat in any dungeon

[open coral]

Just unbind them and rebind them.

[hallow marsh]

gotcha, i'm also logged out, i'm going to see if logging back in would help and then I'll unbind and rebind and see if it works

[robust crow]

probably the most basic expectation for any savage group is that the players know their own class

so if you're i510 you better be able to do 10-11k dps on a dummy as gnb

at minimum

[hallow marsh]

because currently all the keybinds do beyond some of the ones i've personally reset is go straight into the chat box

[limber swan]

yes. Im a master of GNB's rotation

if not a master then I know it pretty well

[robust crow]

good

[open coral]

Yeah, I'd just go in and rebind everything, make sure it's all set the way you want, and make sure the settings are saved before you close the keybinds menu.

[robust crow]

hopefully you are able to maintain that while handling mechanics and mitigations

[little swift]

can always use ACT to check how you do in a vacuum

[cold steppe]

so uhh from 60 onwards for crafters/gatherers you want preety much to get gear from scribs for lvling right?

[limber swan]

ACT?

[little swift]

and then plug stuff in to xivanalysis for some surface level information

!faq act

[zinc orbit]

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

[open coral]

Advanced Combat Tracker. It's a parsing program

[limber swan]

I see

Btw

[little swift]

most players use it as a self-improvement tool

[limber swan]

This is a lot to take in btw

[open coral]

It's a useful tool to gauge your own skill level.

[limber swan]

im not gonna remember all of this

[robust crow]

well, you wanted to become a gamer

[little swift]

people often think they know their job well

[robust crow]

there's not much to remember lol

[limber swan]

🙂 yea you're right

[little swift]

but when their info is plugged into act

[wispy parcel]

It takes a while to internalize

[little swift]

they're doing a lot less than they think

[robust crow]

1. be good at gnb
2. watch a video
3. join a learning party

[open coral]

You expressed interest in trying to do Savage raiding, so this is stuff you'll need to learn.

[robust crow]

all there is to it

[limber swan]

kk

Btw you guys said the min ilvl was 500?....

christ

[robust crow]

uhh

[open coral]

500 isn't hard to get.

[limber swan]

im only 489 atm

Fr?

How can i get it

[robust crow]

okay so like

[limber swan]

I already have my relic so

[wispy parcel]

Yea its not hard to get. The current crafted gear is 510

[robust crow]

you really should reconsider whether you're actually super good at GNB like you say you are, like channy said

[open coral]

Yeah, either buy crafted gear, which is 510, or save up tomestones and get the augmented gear.

[wispy parcel]

And the whole set is pretty cheap on the marketboard

[robust crow]

it sounds like you have a lot to learn

[little swift]

eden's promise normal is i510

[limber swan]

Yeah you're probs right. I should definitely get that ACT

[little swift]

and so is crafted gear HQ

[robust crow]

between eden9-12 dropping 510 gear and purchasing crafted pieces, i500 is a joke to get

[limber swan]

Buy the crafted gear then

Ok

I bet they're expensive

[robust crow]

they are not that expensive

[limber swan]

so ill probs have to grind for my money somehow then

[digital raptor]

I would just get the raid gear tbh.

[limber swan]

Oh really?

[digital raptor]

You'll be replacing 510 quick enough anyway.

[robust crow]

it depends on your server but they are under 100k per piece on mine

[wispy parcel]

About 100K a piece but its not that expensive in retrospect

[digital raptor]

So long as you cap tomes weekly.

[worthy rain]

If someone wanna know, 5.3 update eliminated as mandatory more than 10% of ARR and post ARR msq, 5.3 also added flying in ARR zones after beating arr msq (prepatch msq)

So, until the option to fly and make fast postarr msq, just teleport and talk and repeat, no trick or how speedrunners do it?

[open coral]

I'll also agree that it sounds to me that you're maybe not quite ready to do Savage yet, unless you have experience doing similar content in other games. Savage progression raiding, especially with a static, takes a particular mindset and level of dedication to the game. If you're brand new, you'll want to take your time and learn before you head into that.

[cold steppe]

fastest 510 is craftable yeah, but i wouldnt buy it for more than 1 class personally, especially as begginer without much gil to begin with.

[robust crow]

do you know the GNB opener? and also about lining up all your dots and steroids inside no mercy?

[wispy parcel]

No quick way to do it no

[limber swan]

mhm

[digital raptor]

Do EX before trying Savage.

[cold steppe]

in the end just take your time with those stuff, better start doing savage later than burn out trying to get to other people faster.

[limber swan]

its usually the first two moves no mercy then the combo mixed with the other dots and the light sword thingy

[open coral]

Speedrunners who aren't buying story skips are probably just skipping cutscenes.

[limber swan]

thats what the balance said

[cold steppe]

EX is definitely a something you should look at before savages

[limber swan]

EX?

[cold steppe]

as you can get il515 weapon from there as well

Extremes

[limber swan]

U mean like seat of sacrifice?

[open coral]

Extreme trials.

[little swift]

that depends on the fight

[limber swan]

and mm ext?

[faint flare]

Do emerald

[little swift]

gnb can have slightly different openers

[cold steppe]

they're not as hard as savages but harder than normals

[open coral]

So in this case, the recommendation would be to do the current EX trial - Emerald Weapon

[wispy parcel]

Yea extremes are harder than regular trials but easier than savage

[faint flare]

Not many people do old extremes outside of mount farms

[wispy parcel]

They are a good stepping stone

[little swift]

moving no mercy around for teh purposes of lining it up for that encounter

[limber swan]

Hm

[worthy rain]

In short words: grind and resist, teleport and talk the ARR msq, until postarr

It worhts it

[cold steppe]

let's just say this

if you wont be able to clear extreme

you wont clear savage

[limber swan]

i can clear a extreme

[wispy parcel]

Yup. Its a test of patience

[limber swan]

Extremes are easy

[cold steppe]

and both still take time to learn

[limber swan]

its just that i have to do it over and over again

then it just clicks

along with reading the guides

[open coral]

@worthy rain MSQ is always the answer. You can skip cutscenes to make it faster, but you'll miss a lot of the story and get confused if you actually start paying attention to the story later on.

[faint flare]

Thats

[wispy parcel]

You do need to know everything that happens in ARR tho

[limber swan]

even though i hate reading

[faint flare]

Just progression

Thats literally what progression and learning is

[little swift]

consider looking at some of joonbobs visual video guides

he hasn't done full fight ones this tier

[limber swan]

joonbob?

[little swift]

on youtube

[robust crow]

sadly he hasn't

[limber swan]

He sounds like a hillbilly

[little swift]

he does really nice visual guides

[robust crow]

joonbob's e8s video was the best resource for that fight last tier

[little swift]

don't knock him until you see it

[limber swan]

bet

Alright

[open coral]

There are a bunch of nice video guides out there. Mizzteq also does some pretty good ones.

[little swift]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeVoEBhAM-I

[open coral]

She usually has the full tiers out within a few weeks.

[little swift]

here's an example

[limber swan]

Ill watch it soon. For now ima focus on my schoolwork. Thanks for the answers m8s

[rigid wolf]

Now every main quest is a raid and every raid takes 20 min to join. This is so fun

[robust crow]

rainesama's guides are the best ones imo this tier

[little swift]

mizzteq i would use to see how mechanics work

but not how to solve it

[hallow marsh]

I was just trying to fix the keybinds and then I got a Fatal DirectX error Occured? I didn't catch the code however, is there a fix for this?

[open coral]

@rigid wolf Sounds like you got to either the last two instances of 2.0 or Crystal Tower.

[rigid wolf]

Im in aether

[faint flare]

Mizzteqs 12s part 2 isn't that bad

[little swift]

your data center has nothing to do with it

[wispy parcel]

If you mean Crystal Tower, they made that MSQ for a pretty good reason

[open coral]

Aether is your datacenter.

[worthy rain]

Yes yes, non skip cutscenes, even texts

Well, have to grind teleporting around msq then until postarr

What a competence speedrunners have

[rigid wolf]

I dont understand lol

[little swift]

no one is speedrunning the game jota

what are you queuing for @rigid wolf

[wispy parcel]

I've never heard of anyone speedrunning an MMO

[worthy rain]

Msq 20 mins???

[rigid wolf]

Bowl of embers

[open coral]

That... isn't even a raid.

[rigid wolf]

Ok cool

[dusky charm]

as bluemage am i only able to paly with other blue mages?

[open coral]

That's a Light Party trial.

[wispy parcel]

Thats a trial

[open coral]

Same size as a dungeon.

[rigid wolf]

Ah

[cold steppe]

should i bother getting lvl 70 gathering gear for diadem? There after lvl 60 node there's lvl 80 so im not sure if with lvl 70 gear i can even reach being able to gather those lvl 80 nodes.

[little swift]

you'd be interested to know GDQ has had an all arr dungeon/trial unsync speedrun as well as i've seen an ARR fresh account speedrun

[rigid wolf]

Never played an mmo

Thought tool tip called it a raid

[wispy parcel]

[little swift]

no you can party with other jobs as well. full party bypasses role restrictions

[worthy rain]

Sure there are professionals to have a récord, but just pointing that out

[rigid narwhal]

just get lvl 60 gear so it's 100% to gather the lvl 60 mats

if you're just leveling

[cold steppe]

that i did

[open coral]

A "raid" in this game usually refers to 8-man sequenced instance content @rigid wolf , with a total of 12 single-boss instances in a series.

[little swift]

no one does a speedrun of this game professionally

its not particularly engaging to do

maybe 4fun4 at best

[rigid wolf]

Kk

[rigid narwhal]

then just do that until 80

[cold steppe]

so i take it for gatherers dont upgrade until 80?

gochu

[rigid narwhal]

not rly, if ur leveling in diadem

[cold steppe]

it's fastest anyway i think

[open coral]

Bowl of Embers is what we call a "trial" - it's a single boss fight, no trash, just the boss.

[rigid wolf]

Kk

[open coral]

The Normal mode of it uses a "Light Party", the same as dungeons do - 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps.

[cold steppe]

what lvl 80 gatherer gear i should bother getting after that then? from gathering scribs?

[rigid wolf]

Still takes forever to do

Join

[rigid narwhal]

you can do leves, which are 'faster' but imo it's more boring cos you need to fly around to different zones, go far away, you can't just braindead and watch something/listen to something

[open coral]

You're a dps class, so yes. Your queues in general are going to be longer.

[quasi thistle]

argh, got Aurum Vale again... why ... it's my fifth Aurum Vale today....

[hallow marsh]

Found the issue! Direct Chat was on!

[rigid wolf]

Na i mean just to get in

20 min minimum

[open coral]

@quasi thistle Do you have it specifically selected?

[cold steppe]

true leves can be faster i've heard, but i feel like diadem is less resoucefull/needs less attention lol

[faint flare]

Just stop queing for aurum

[rigid narwhal]

yeah i was of the same opinion

[quasi thistle]

Duty Roulette Leveling

[open coral]

@rigid wolf If you're talking about the "average wait time" listed, that's an estimate. Most likely your wait will not be that long.

[faint flare]

You nevet spam roulettes

Neve

[open coral]

Why are you doing roulettes more than once?

[little swift]

you might have multiple selections potato

[rigid narwhal]

you only do a roulette once

[quasi thistle]

company seals

[little swift]

its 12pm EST on NA you're not even close to prime time.

[rigid narwhal]

you're better off doing >lvl 60 ones then

[worthy rain]

Some msq are trials, 20 mins to join??

[little swift]

at least 6 or 7 hours away

[faint flare]

There's far.better sources even prior to turn ins

[rigid wolf]

Yes

[wispy parcel]

No

Again thats an estimate

[ashen anvil]

@cold steppe if you can afford it buy BiS it's what I'm going to do

[worthy rain]

Lot of time, even more than duty finder

[wispy parcel]

And again thats usually wrong

[open coral]

Typically it will not take 20 minutes, even for dps queues.

[worthy rain]

But difference, is that it is msq

[open coral]

Usually it's about 10-15 minutes maximum for dps.

[wispy parcel]

You only get wait times like that as a dps for actual raids

[rigid wolf]

Bro. Ive done like 4. All took 20 to 30 min tojoin. Others here have similar wait time

[worthy rain]

Are they a few right? Just for learning right? Looool

[open coral]

And again, this is not peak time for NA. It's just barely after noon on the east coast, meaning it's as early as 9am on the opposite end of the country. People are at work or school, mostly.

[manic flare]

is there a vendor that sells trees for estates?

[wispy parcel]

You also need to keep in mind ur playing at noon on a week day. Its nowhere close to peak hours on NA servers

[worthy rain]

Does it worth to change to tank or healer to not have long queue times then, to do those msq trials faster?

[wispy parcel]

Everyone is at work lol

[open coral]

You'll get faster queues if you either queue with a tank or healer, or wait until "prime" time, which will start about 5 or 6 hours from now, when people start getting off work/out of school.

[manic flare]

(from home)

[wispy parcel]

Im not

[open coral]

Just because we're working from home doesn't mean we can just log in and play games.

[strange coral]

Work/school and not everyone gets to work remote, even if they sit at a computer all day (such as myself)

[worthy rain]

I am from europe, not na, I should not have those long times

[full trail]

No but it means you can chat on discord at your leisure :3

[manic flare]

which datacenter are you in?

[worthy rain]

Come on, millions of people play lol

[open coral]

@worthy rain You'll have similar issues if you're play at non-peak times for EU.

[wispy parcel]

No Europe also has this issue. Its just due to the time difference its already peak hours for you

[little swift]

you get better queue times when you play when everyone is around

its not that difficult to understand

if you're on EU you're at peak hours right now

[worthy rain]

Datacenter: light

Server, the prefered one

[little swift]

there's nothing to discuss about this

[full trail]

I mean as long as que is shorter then 20 mins I'm fine :)

[cold steppe]

how do u unlock bigger scrib exchange shop?

scrip

[wispy parcel]

Its rarely ever that long

[little swift]

!faq scripunlock

[zinc orbit]

Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)

[open coral]

You're also a tank @full trail your queues are rarely going to be longer than 2-3 minutes.

[manic flare]

where do i buy trees for housing?

[full trail]

Even for dp

[wispy parcel]

For DPS, msq trials are at max 10 minutes

[little swift]

marketboad usually @manic flare

[wispy parcel]

During peak hours

[cold steppe]

ah so i take it bigger shops will unlock as i unlock more locations then? gochu

[twilit arch]

some of them can be bought from the housing district npcs

[worthy rain]

To make productive those minutes, do job quests or blue ones (unlock ones) during it joins

[open coral]

Or just do what everyone else does and watch Netflix on another screen until your queue pops.

[little swift]

thats usually what people do until they have nothing left

[wispy parcel]

Well job quests take a while and some of them require you to go into a solo instance

[little swift]

not everyone still has stuff to do

[wispy parcel]

So I wouldnt recommend doing that during the wait

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there any way to see my refer a friend code ? i forgot to copy it when i generate a new one and then when i go back it says i have to wait another 3 hours even though no one claim

[full trail]

You cant go into a jobbstamce amd have a que up sadly

[worthy rain]

A solo instance or jobstance, is that cutscene join combat like happens in msq you mean

[little swift]

job instances are solo that you have to do an yes you queue into an area and have to accomplish some objective

[manic flare]

how do people add "mini-floors" and extra horizontal floor partitions in their house?

[little swift]

they use lofts to either glitch the flooring of their choice into the positions they want

or just straight upuse lofts as floorign

[manic flare]

one day i will understand what you just said

[twilit arch]

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/349494-GUIDE-p4.1-Housing-Glitches-Placing-(almost)-everything-(almost)-everywhere!

goes over various housing glitches, there's also plenty of housing glitch videos out there on youtube

[little swift]

a lot of it is just abusing how the server tracks your game interactions

and cancelling out of them as the yhappen so they get stuck a certain way

[cold steppe]

when giving collectibles, do i have to give the npc best collectibles i can? Or can i just give him worse ones that are more easly maxed?

[faint flare]

They need to past the minimum required collectiblity

To be turned in

[cold steppe]

that im aware but like you have collectibles at lvl 60 70+ and so forth

[twilit arch]

ideally you want to turn in the highest lvl collectables you can

as lower lvl collectables generally aren't going to give as good rewards as the ones close to your lvl

[cold steppe]

arent scrib rewards similar across the lvls

[faint flare]

Higher level stuff gives abit more

[cold steppe]

ah ic

thanks!

[manic flare]

does buying the treehouse come with the tree?

https://en.ff14housing.com/itemview.php?id=a73dfb65064

[little swift]

yes the tree is part of the piece

its one item altogether

[full trail]

You cant have a tree house without the tree

🤔

[manic flare]

well i figure maybe it's a requirement to have atree first

then u place the treehouse

but i am no tree expert

or treehouse expert

[rigid wolf]

Waaaaaat

How did i do the wrong dungeon only one available in duty finder

[full trail]

You jave to have atleast 2 available to get wrong dungeon

🤔

[rigid wolf]

No only one available

[full trail]

Impossible

what did you try to do

you probably didin't unlock the one you are supposed to do yet

[rigid wolf]

you can select up to 5

and it will choose in that list

[full trail]

You have another dungeon unlocked before that u prob had it on roulette

[little swift]

so make sure you only have the one you want selected

at the point in the msq you are at

you will have 4 total instances to select from

[civic spoke]

How many times can you run a dungeon in a day to get gear? I’m trying to get the halonic exorcist set

[open coral]

You can run it as many times as you want.

[civic spoke]

Oh nice

[open coral]

There's no limit.

[civic spoke]

Can they be soloed like in WoW?

[open coral]

You can go into Duty Finder settings and select "undersized party" which will allow you to go into any instance as your current level. You'll get no xp, enemy drops, or the free piece at the end (for leveling dungeons), but you can loot all the chests.

[little swift]

!faq unsync

[zinc orbit]

How to do Group Instances by Yourself or Without Enough People

In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.

[civic spoke]

Thanks

[open coral]

Oh we even have an unsync faq

[jovial tide]

Has yoshi dispelled the rumors about the next expansion being called forspoken?

[little swift]

i made it relatively recently

[civic spoke]

Would it be possible to solo the vault at level 72?

[little swift]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes, he was asked and was like "lol no"

[open coral]

Yeah, that should be pretty easy to do.

Since Vault is a HW dungeon.

[tropic frigate]

I cleared Bozjan castrum today at resistance rank 10. Are there more story quests after this?

[open coral]

Not currently.

[wispy parcel]

next tuesday there will be

[tropic frigate]

ahh ok, I was confused because of the patch trailer that made it seem like there was more

[open coral]

Yeah, on Tuesday. When the patch hits.

5.45

[leaden ginkgo]

So i just hit 30 and become a Scholar. is there a difference between Eos and Selene or just cosmetic?

[open coral]

Just cosmetic

There used to be a difference, but not anymore.

[leaden ginkgo]

How does critical engagements work in bozjan? Sometimes its an hour without one or at least almost, sometimes theres one after another

[little swift]

they basically need to be force spawned by completing fates and killing the related mobs, similar to how eurekan NMs work

and depending on how long your instance was up

that instance could have "died"

meaning it isn't able to spawn new CEs

or does so at a reduced rate

[leaden ginkgo]

Idk I never done Eureka its pretty much dead as it can be on my dc so, do I just restart instance for bozjan

[little swift]

try to load into another one if it seems dead

can always shout to get a gauge for how long the one you're in has been up

what happens to your chocobo if your stable is dirty?

how many retainers can i keep out for a house

[twilit arch]

1 if small, 2 if medium, 3 if large

[gritty oracle]

Does Neutral Sect affect ogcds?

[little swift]

no

healing magic

which means spells only

if it affected ogcds it would say

healing actions

[gritty oracle]

ty!

[heady knot]

so what stuff i can get out of bozja

thinking of doing it but seems like a real deep rabbit hole

any guides i can read

[little swift]

at the moment? not really

the whole thing isn't finished yet

but there are some cosmetics and gear you can obtain from within bozja

as well as achievements

[robust crow]

there's not much you'd need a guide for

[heady knot]

so why people grinding it

[robust crow]

one big reason is leveling from 71-80

[faint flare]

Easy levels

[heady knot]

o ok

i guess i can lvl stuff in there then thanms

[robust crow]

it's really just "sign up for skirmishes and do all the fates"

doesn't go much deeper than that

[heady knot]

i unlocked it

ah ok

seems like next patch going to add some new stuff

just wondering whether i should do it

[robust crow]

you'd need to be level 11 or higher in bozja to do the new stuff, most likely

so you may as well get started

[heady knot]

ah ok

does it take long to lvl11

[little swift]

not super long if you join all the CEs and skirmishes you can

its just also doing the story quests

you can't avoid those

[jovial tide]

Is there a way to make /ac exit the macro early if the cast doesn't go through?

[robust crow]

ironworks doesn't really go obsolete like that

it's going to remain the best set for all classes around up to level 55

you can go ahead and purchase ironworks pieces for other classes if you just want a poetics dump

[leaden ginkgo]

are fates worth the time investemnt?

[lone spruce]

Yep and it's also good for your retainer ilevel

[leaden ginkgo]

i notice they give "flame seals"

[lone spruce]

Later on, much later on, you might spend poetics on thavnairian scalepowder for bozja weapons

But that's about it

[scarlet arrow]

all fates give grand company seals upon completion

[robust crow]

other common poetics dumps are grade 3 topsoil if you're a gardener, components for the HW relic weapons, and the assorted orchestrions/minions/other shit that the vendors sell

110 is a step down from the 130 in ironworks

like, a pretty significant step

it's not like you suddenly replace everything at 55

you just start getting gear that's better than ironworks

[lone spruce]

Don't forget the best thing you can get with poetics: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/1b8ea2f752b/

[little swift]

!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

[little swift]

ironworks is still better than your 110set

[lone spruce]

Spend them on Haurchey portrait

[little swift]

it will last until lv55 in heavensward MSQ

[lone spruce]

With maxed out tomestones you can get 20 copies :3

[robust crow]

you should absolutely be purchasing a full ironworks set for every class that hits 50

there is no reason not to

[little swift]

there's no reason to grind for it though

its sufficient to not do so on your first job

[robust crow]

poetics are plentiful and that gear carries you for a good amount of time

[little swift]

msq gear is fine if you keep up

i would say shore up the accessories

those always lag behind from msq

and grab the weapon

thats always the biggest upgrade

but armor is usually fine for your first job

[lone spruce]

You'll constantly be up to your waist in poetics tbh no need to grind them

[umbral hollow]

I have a question I just focused myself on leveling my first job im now at level 60 and I have my bags full of gathering materials that I have not a clue of how to use it should I sell that low level materials or save it? they are goin to be any useful later?

[little swift]

vendor it if you don't need it right now

almost all the stuff you have is easily reobtainable

the low level materia might fetch a decent price on the market board though

[leaden ginkgo]

i can't create free trial account i get an error i250

[heady knot]

im lvling my dancer from 60

what are the good ways of lvling to 80

[leaden ginkgo]

msq

[heady knot]

i done msq

[leaden ginkgo]

dungeon

[heady knot]

ok

[leaden ginkgo]

daily roulette aswell give a big boost of xp

[umbral hollow]

other question i only have a chocobo as mount at level 60 is that ok or I miss something other player with my same level have other mounts maybe I miss something?

[leaden ginkgo]

Nah chocobo is enough for all your leveling process

once you get 80 with some gear

i would suggest you to do old raid for mount

if you don't know which one there is a website https://ffxivcollect.com/mounts for location, and drop rates.

[strange coral]

At 60 you should have a few more mounts, unless you haven't finished the ARR MSQ yet.

[umbral hollow]

yes im still doing arr msq

[strange coral]

But they're cosmetic, you can get by just fine using only the chocobo.

[umbral hollow]

is it a bit awfull

i never goin to do my same level msq

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone can make free trial account recently?

or is it closed ?

[open coral]

You should be able to make a free trial account at any time.

[umbral hollow]

but if you are a trial and delete the game you need other account with another e-mail

[leaden ginkgo]

https://prnt.sc/xrqxz1

ffs

[umbral hollow]

dont know why

[leaden ginkgo]

tried to make 5 accounts so far

all this error

[open coral]

Have you tried using a different browser?

[leaden ginkgo]

nope

i will try

[open coral]

Some browsers don't play nice with the Lodestone and Mogstation.

[leaden ginkgo]

ah wtf

used another browser worked fine

-_-

[umbral hollow]

do you guys think that is a good idea to buy potions for skip the last part of arr?

[open coral]

Like I said. Some browsers just don't play nice with the Lodestone and Mogstation.

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks my friend ^^

[sage cape]

guys, if I have questions regarding end game, like what to do once you reach 80, is this the correct channel?

[leaden ginkgo]

@umbral hollow nope ARR not great, but after that trust me it's so good

[robust crow]

yes you can ask here

[sage cape]

oh nice!

[open coral]

Personally I'd say no. Lore is important in this game, and you get a lot of the lead-in stuff for Heavensward in post-ARR.

[leaden ginkgo]

i play since 2013, but lost all my account, so i am starting new one fresh, do you guys suggest any server, I'm from EAST COAST NA.

[sage cape]

so, I'm a new player in FFXIV, came from wow, so I wanted to know how's the end game once you reach max lvl, what is there to be done? WoW is kinda strict on what you should do, dunno if it's the same with FF

[leaden ginkgo]

@sage cape i play wow since 2004 why you want to play FF14 😛

[open coral]

Any server is fine @leaden ginkgo We'll generally recommend a Preferred server for people making new accounts/characters since you get an XP buff for all jobs under level 70 on those servers, but other than that it's pretty open.

[robust crow]

i'm not sure what you mean by "wow being strict" on your endgame

it's a standard mmorpg endgame

[leaden ginkgo]

can i get free transfer server once everything maxed?

[lilac flume]

can people on different data centers raid together? i.e. primal raid with aether

[robust crow]

you can do high end raids, mount chasing, level other classes, work on reputation/achievements, hunt glamour

crafting/gathering, sidequests and minigames (blue mage, chocobo racing, etc)

like, ff14 is a game that's got like a decade worth of content, there's no lack of it at 80

[open coral]

Endgame in XIV is similar to WoW in some ways, and different in others. From a content standpoint, just as there are mythic raid teams in WoW, there are "statics" who do progression on high-end content in XIV.

[twilit arch]

no, data centers do not interact with each other

[lilac flume]

ok ty

[robust crow]

in my experience, most people that complain about lack of content at endgame have either done ALL of it or haven't done any of it

[sage cape]

I haven't reached that yet

[robust crow]

if you haven't yet reached ff14 endgame then you should have no worries about content after max level

[open coral]

It's both easier and harder to break into the Savage raiding scene here. Easier in that you can generally find learning parties in the Party Finder for Savage content, even late in the tier, but harder in that there are higher expectations of people joining Savage raid runs the later you get in the tier - and with groups capping at 8 players (2/2/4 setup rather than flex or 20-man cap) there are smaller windows for people to join.

[robust crow]

ff14's endgame doesn't start at max level like wow's does

you need to finish the entire MSQ

which could potentially mean having numerous 80s

before you can start the current tier's endgame content

[sage cape]

was just curious tbh in WoW this expac I feel like you are "forced" to play the game they want, if you wanna do anything. Prolly personal feeling

[sage cape]

oh I see

[open coral]

You're not really "forced" into raiding in XIV.

There are ways to get nearly comparable gear without ever stepping foot in a max-level raid.

If you want to devote your endgame to glamour farming or chasing achievements, that's a perfectly reasonable option.

Crafting is one, but the big one is actually with Tomestones.

[robust crow]

well "comparable gear" is misleading

[open coral]

Tomestone gear, when augmented, is only about 5 or 10 ilevels lower than the gear you can get from Savage.

[sage cape]

I dont mind raiding, I raided in WoW this expac. Just meant, that in wow your weekly routine is pretty much established if you want gear and do something end game related

[robust crow]

if you want "comparable gear" then you have to wait until late into the tier when square enix lifts their restrictions on getting i530 gear

[open coral]

So yes, it's "comparable"

The fact is, you can get it without ever touching Savage.

[robust crow]

and even so, a full set of i520/i530 in this manner will take months because of the artificial timegate

[open coral]

Which is the point I was making.

[robust crow]

there is a weekly routine in ff14 as well

but it's not as boring as wow's, imo

[open coral]

I mean, sure. You're going to grind something weekly if you want endgame gear too. However there's less of it. The game is actually designed with the idea of not spending your entire life in the game.

[sage cape]

yes, this is what I meant
