[dire prawn]

What can I get from them

[marble drift]

a title, mount and other stuff

"Brother/Sister of Ash"

and a Cavalry Drake

[dire prawn]

Cavalry Drake?

[marble drift]

mount

[dire prawn]

Oh

Is it the same thing the cat girl with like basically nothing on rides

[marble drift]

yeh

[leaden ginkgo]

Any tips for infusing materias for novus weapon?

I seem to fail a lit lol

Ill never get to 75 this pace

[obsidian patio]

Basically just luck

Best to do multiple stats instead of just two, since the lower grade materia keep a higher success rate and are typically cheaper on the MB

[raw gyro]

Is that on the top or bottoms of your screen?

[faint flare]

Bottom by default

[raw gyro]

Oh okay

I’ll check it out when I get back on

[little swift]

mine is only at the top because i moved it

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh ok I guess that makes sense

Ill go with other materias since its obly for the glam

But materia 1 are even more expensive

Ppl probably overprice it cause they know its for the quest and ppl need them

[obsidian patio]

Hop to other worlds on your datacenter

Might find cheap ones

[left cedar]

Do gatherers get exp in firmament fates?

[twilit arch]

yes

[glacial isle]

A whole level's worth IIRc

[jovial tide]

How do you tell which side the lasers will blast first in amaurot?

[faint flare]

You dony

Just be quick to adjust

[dire prawn]

What does the Trauma Queen unlock

I'm Lv 49 and this quest is Lv 50 but it says I can do it 🤔

[shell dagger]

where do you rewatch the cutscenes from the bozja quests? i wasn't pay attention and now i can't find them in my journal

[twilit arch]

it unlocks wanderer's palace

which is a lvl 50 dungeon

[dire prawn]

So do it then

Oh God is this the start of the explosion

[remote lintel]

you always get a bunch of after finishing an expac

because you can unlock all the side content then

[mental garnet]

is there a stone sky sea for ultimates?

[obsidian patio]

Pretty sure not

Not like it’d be helpful anyways

Ultimates are much more mechanic focused than DPS focused

[mental garnet]

hmm got it

i can probably just use the SB version of stone sky sea to practice my 70 rotation right?

[little swift]

no it doesn't sync you

[mental garnet]

dang

[warped nest]

Unless your Job get a trait between 70-80 that fundamentally change how you use a pre-70 skill/ability

Like Warrior's Infuriate, or Summoner's Firebird

Otherwise you can just practice without the lvl 72+ skills

[shell dagger]

someone marked me as 2 and now i can't remove it

how do i remove it lol

[warped nest]

Right click yourself

[little swift]

open the signs menu

and select yourself

and then click the sign the marked you with

[shell dagger]

i can't

i'm not in a party

[warped nest]

Click your character

[little swift]

can still select yourself

[shell dagger]

i can't click on my character

oh. F1

there you go

[little swift]

make sure this setting is enabled to click on yourself

or in future use whatever key is keybinded to target yourself

f1-f8 are you defaults

[potent lava]

What is actually confirmed for february 5, if anything at all other than "big announcement"

[remote lintel]

the livestream

which is the announcement

[echo finch]

Hit 35 as a Thaumaturge. I want to go Red Mage. Should i pursue Black Mage in the meantime?

[remote lintel]

yes you should

[faint flare]

There's no reason to stay a class

[remote lintel]

you should have been black mage at 30

if you were keeping up with msq

[faint flare]

You're griefing yourself and others otherwise

Black mage is thaumatugre

[echo finch]

I JUST hit the msq trial by turtle

Will do bm

Ty

[worthy rain]

What do you mean? And why not keep a class?

[remote lintel]

because youre limiting yourself to your class skills

which is like nothing

[echo finch]

Actually yes i would like clarification

Ahhh

[worthy rain]

Limit the gameplay styles of the classes you mean

[remote lintel]

what

no you literally limit your skills

a thaumaturge cannot use black mage skills

[little swift]

by not completing the necessary class quests, you do not receive class rewards

which include vital skills of a job's kit

this isn't up for debate

not having them is literally being a liability

[remote lintel]

you would be limited to only these

[worthy rain]

Yes, and if someone wants to stick till level 80 with that?

I mean something happens if you switch casses, with their respectives quests made also?

Why not keep a class until level 80?

[faint flare]

You'll literally be missing 90% of your kiy

[worthy rain]

kiy?

[faint flare]

You WILL be kicked

Kit

Your skills

You'll be missing ALOT of them

[remote lintel]

because you would be doing lvl 80 content with only up to lvl 50 skills which would severely reduce your damage and effectiveness

[worthy rain]

There are some shares actions between clases?

[remote lintel]

yes

black mage can use both black mage and thaumaturge skills

[worthy rain]

Awesome

[faint flare]

Jobs ARE their respective class

[remote lintel]

thaumaturge can only use thaumaturge skills

[faint flare]

Black mage is thaumatugre

[twilit arch]

there is absolutely no reason to remain as the class when you can get your job

you are hindering yourself for no reason

[worthy rain]

Ok yes of course

[twilit arch]

jobs are stronger stats and more skills

[worthy rain]

It was a missunderstanding

[remote lintel]

basically a job is an upgrade and you still keep all your base class skills

[little swift]

not only do you hinder yourself

you can slow down the experience of other players playing with you

[echo finch]

So if and when i go red mage can i do BM quests at the same time?

[faint flare]

You'll swap job

[remote lintel]

you will need to level black mage and red mage separately

[echo finch]

Im just new bare with me

Ah okay

[faint flare]

Jobs are seperate from each other

[echo finch]

So im always leveling thaum and a job

[worthy rain]

Yes, I understood keep a class (then obviously convert to job) the entire time

Ok of course if someone can upgrade, do it

[worthy rain]

No

[faint flare]

You get the respective class xp when you're its job

[remote lintel]

technically black mage is thaumaturge

as a black mage you still get thaumaturge exp

[echo finch]

Ohhh

Ok cool

Ty'

[worthy rain]

Why difference that?

I mean, once BLM, never THM anynore

Why get "THM exp"?

[open coral]

It's a system artifact.

[remote lintel]

technically a black mage is a thaumaturge with a shiny badge

also it lets scholar and summoner share exp

since they're both arcanist at base

[worthy rain]

THM is for more than BLM you mean?

And by using BLM, there is sort of "THM exp"

[open coral]

No. THM is only BLM

But ACN becomes either SMN or SCH.

[remote lintel]

arcanist is the only class with 2 jobs

[open coral]

It's the only class that branches into two jobs like that.

[remote lintel]

pretty sure its just leftover from an old system

[open coral]

Like I said, it's a system artifact.

[remote lintel]

and they never bothered to change it

[open coral]

Yoshi P has said that he doesn't like the job stone system.

[worthy rain]

So what do you mean by getting "THM exp" after upgrade to its (THM) solo job (BLM)?

[open coral]

The system still reads experience earned as a BLM as "THM experience"

[remote lintel]

you still get base class exp even when you upgraded to a job

[open coral]

Because of how the system works.

[worthy rain]

Ok

Just the system name you mean

[twilit arch]

you never stop being the class when you become the job so you're still earning thm experience even though you've gotten your soul stone for that job and have become blm

[worthy rain]

Ok, the system lol ok

[remote lintel]

it just be like that

[worthy rain]

Talking about jobs, are jobs quests expanding? Or they hit an end?

Cause in this server I read " lvl 70 or 60 (job) quest"
He meant one of the latest jobs?

(The latest start at those levels)

[open coral]

In what context did you read that?

[remote lintel]

technically job quests end at 70 for now

[twilit arch]

i mean

[remote lintel]

70+ uses role quests for lore reasons

[twilit arch]

no they technically end at 80

since there's a quest at 80 for them all

[remote lintel]

i guess

[worthy rain]

Someone talking about if he or she did "lvl 60 or 70 (job quest"

Pretty long lol

[open coral]

Yes. All jobs have quests at the level cap for each expansion.

[twilit arch]

all jobs have a series of quests they need to complete. 60/70 being the major "checkpoint" since the job quests generally start and end at previous lvl cap levels

[worthy rain]

But well, when new expansion, new ones I mean, like msq

[remote lintel]

yes there will be new job quests for each new expac

[worthy rain]

And always unlocking something?

[remote lintel]

it gives you job specific armor

[twilit arch]

not always, but usually

[open coral]

Until level 70, every job has quests specific to that job throughout the expansion which unlock abilities. From 70-80 they changed the system into "role" quests instead, covering tanks, healers, physical dps, and caster dps.

[worthy rain]

I dont do them that is why I ask, I know I dont get some actions, and of course they are so less than msq ones, but just in case (y)

[open coral]

Then each of the classes again has a quest unique to them at level 80 which is basically just a little bit of story with some materia rewards.

[remote lintel]

theyre mandatory

you should do them

[worthy rain]

For progress no

[open coral]

Always assume that job and role quests are mandatory.

Yes.

[twilit arch]

you should not be ignoring your job quests

[remote lintel]

for being good at your class yes

[open coral]

For progress.

[faint flare]

They're mandatory

[worthy rain]

??

[faint flare]

They give you skills

Do them

[twilit arch]

As 1-70 job quests generally have skills locked behind them

[worthy rain]

I can not get to HW without the job quests?

[remote lintel]

you can but youll suck at your class

[open coral]

You need the skills that the 1-70 job quests give to function as your class.

[twilit arch]

you can, but you're hindering yourself significantly

some of the strongest skills for each job is locked behind the job quests

[worthy rain]

Ok useful info (y)

[faint flare]

They also give you starting gear for level caps

[open coral]

Also the level 70-80 role quests you must complete at least one of them in order to finish the 5.0 MSQ.

And I'm pretty sure you can't pick up your role quest unless you've completed a corresponding series of job quests.

[worthy rain]

This is more of mandatory hahaha

Ok yes they have to be done (y)

[leaden ginkgo]

is Gazelle Hide hard to get

[twilit arch]

no, the role quests don't require lvl 70 job quest to be completed to do

[open coral]

Really?!?

[worthy rain]

I dont know still role quest what are

[remote lintel]

youll see when you get there

the game will tell you

@leaden ginkgo no

[open coral]

Well, I guess that's in the same vein as dungeons not requiring you to have a job stone equipped to enter dungeons over level 30...

[twilit arch]

they're not hard but farming gazelles for them is pretty meh

[remote lintel]

can just send your retainer to get them

[twilit arch]

easier to have combat retainer farm them for you while you do other things (assuming 70+ retainer)

[leaden ginkgo]

@remote lintel best way?

[remote lintel]

use your retainer?

[leaden ginkgo]

okay

get myretainer

to level 70

and i will

[remote lintel]

or kill gazelles yourself

[leaden ginkgo]

nah

im just buy retainer level 70

and get a battle retainer and ezpz

[remote lintel]

what level is your highest combat class

[leaden ginkgo]

70

so im good

ez

and all my doh/dol are 80

[gritty oracle]

What's the name of the achievement doggo?

[twilit arch]

Kamuy Of The Nine Tails

[leaden ginkgo]

does Gazelle Hide drop common

from th dungeons

[twilit arch]

assuming you mean the one for collecting all sb dogs

[remote lintel]

its rng

[leaden ginkgo]

so its useless to do it

and ofc game sellGazelle leather

4k each

fucking dumb

[twilit arch]

not the game's fault

[leaden ginkgo]

100%

90% of mats i can gather/mine

which i have 0 problem doing

[gritty oracle]

ty!

[twilit arch]

player ran market, my dude. can always use world visit to see if other markets are cheaper

[leaden ginkgo]

no

the shops

in the game

its 4k

4K???

no player fucking sells it cuz u can buy from npc

its 0 profit

[twilit arch]

totally forgot they added leather to npc

either way tho you can just use retainer or look at mb to try and find it cheaper

[leaden ginkgo]

nah mb scams lol im just retainer it

rn im continue to grind 999 of all the other mats

ezpz

[celest hearth]

Howdy, all... Am returning after a hiatus and wondering where I could begin on finding an RP FC? Seems many in the recruitment channel might be everything but? (Forgive me, I'm getting a bit tired, so I hope I didn't miss a huge, eye-catching sign.)

[dire prawn]

Balmung and Mateus

[twilit arch]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/community_finder/

would recommend giving the new community finder a look thru

[remote lintel]

crystal tends to have more RPers

[leaden ginkgo]

where are gazales at

[remote lintel]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Gazelle

[leaden ginkgo]

peering stones???

[remote lintel]

thats the closest aetheryte

[leaden ginkgo]

wow

no one told m eishgard

has materia

as scribs

wtf

[primal robin]

is chaos down or is it just me?

[marble drift]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/

go there if you're curious

[vital flax]

Seems to be down for me,I can select my character but can't load into world

[forest sage]

I'm still ingame, so might be a login server issue

[primal robin]

yea same

i tried Light and it works

[vital flax]

It booted me when I loading into a new zone originally so god knows

[frozen girder]

Would it cost money to transfer from Malboro to Louisoix?

[frank wigeon]

if you are transferring your character to any world, data centre, or server, it will cost you real life money

however travelling through worlds using aetheryte is free

[raven sage]

Well if it's congested to preferred or new worlds it's free

But that's not the case here

[vital flax]

Not if you're transferring from a conjested world to a preferred world it's free

[marble drift]

and Malboro is not congested

[raven sage]

Malboro is preferred

[frozen girder]

Aw

Rip

[vital flax]

"Creation of new characters unavailable" is that not conjested?

[raven sage]

temporary lock based on people online

Not the same thing

[vital flax]

Ah fair

[frank wigeon]

hey may we know how many weeks till the limit of tomes are lifted plkease?

[faint flare]

Never

The cap is never removed, it will only get doubled late in 5.5

[bronze narwhal]

how do I obtain ronkan weapons for glam nowadays? I dont see it on tomestone exchange anymore just like deepshadows

[faint flare]

Sacks of nuts

Same with deepshadow

[bronze narwhal]

ah geeezz alright. thanks

[faint flare]

When the tomes disappear the gear is shoved to hunts

[bronze narwhal]

I seee, thanks for the info

[dire prawn]

How powerful is the Healer's gear that I'll get from my Lv 50 WHM job quest in regards to gear I can get from the Lv 50 dungeons or that I can buy with poetics?

[faint flare]

Its entry level gear

Job quests give you entry level gear for that cap

Poetic gear is the best you can get for that era

[zinc orbit]

[dire prawn]

Oh

So the Healer's items would be ilvl 90 then?

[faint flare]

Yes

[dire prawn]

And poetic gear i130?

[faint flare]

Yes

[dire prawn]

ohh

Where can I go to trade poetics for i130 gear 🤔

[faint flare]

Mor dhona

Or the 3 main cities at sundry splendors

[dire prawn]

Is there a limit to how many poetics I can have at a time

[faint flare]

2k

Seen in currency tab

[dire prawn]

Oh

Is there a limit to how many poetics I can earn in a day or week?

[faint flare]

Nope

[dire prawn]

uwu

[faint flare]

Only cap is for current endgame tomes

[dire prawn]

How many pieces of i130 gear can I buy with 2k poetics 🤔

Or would it be 2k poetics each

[faint flare]

Alot of pieces

They aren't that expensive

[dire prawn]

Oh

So my main focus would be my weapon first right

[warm snow]

Not all of them though

[faint flare]

Yes

[warm snow]

Weapon first

Then probably accessories as you won't really get any good ones during the arr story

[dire prawn]

Yeah my accessories are gigatrash

[faint flare]

The post arr starts giving you basic accessories

[dire prawn]

I didn't get a better necklace than my weathered one from like the start of the game until Stone Vigil

[halcyon radish]

can I get a dyable version of this?

[marble drift]

go to garlandtools.org

and check

[halcyon radish]

i think you upgrade the 45/60 ones right

[marble drift]

its an FFXIV database

punch the name of that coat into its database and look for "shared models"

[halcyon radish]

[twilit arch]

the 70 version is upgrade thru eureka

[lilac flume]

this will come off as a silly question, but why do people do hunts so consistently? the rewards seem to be really mediocre looking at nut exchange vendors

[twilit arch]

easy way of capping allegory/revelations

plus easy way of keeping a decent stock of t8 materia

[lilac flume]

fair, i guess i just always have a bunch of those crystals from doing roulettes so i never had materia availability problems

[little swift]

In the time it takes to do 1 roulette (15-20min) for 1 set of clusters

You get 120 revelation

240 allegory

480 nutes

And between 6 to 12 clusters of both kinds

In a time to reward comparison if you can handle the load times and monotony its more payout

[lilac flume]

hm i didnt know it also gave allegory, might have to start doing them to gear out other classes

speaking of, are roulettes still the best way for poetics?

[gloomy ice]

Main Scenario and Alliance roulettes give the most if I remember correctly.

[icy kiln]

what's the quickest way to get my item level up for Meridianum? I'm sitting at 41, need 42 and it looks like it's all these rings and wrist stuff sitting at level one holding me down

[shrewd owl]

Your job quests give item level 90 gear

[faint flare]

Do your job quests

Equip the i90 gear from the coffer

Thats all you needed

[icy kiln]

I did all available to me for a paladin, unless there's others besides Jenlyns

[faint flare]

Open the coffer that was given to you

You have a chest in your bags

It has gear

[icy kiln]

oh hell, I didn't even notice those

much appreciated

[faint flare]

That alone gets you the ilvl

[icy kiln]

damn, I had a bunch of coffers

oops

lol

[little swift]

I also forgot about the poetics too woops 480 of those as well

[lilac flume]

oh neat

[icy kiln]

holy shit, jumped up to item level 60 lol

[frank wigeon]

hey is there a recommended blue spell list needed for next patch to help level and do eureka?

im assuming we can do baldesion arsenal when blue mage is 70

[faint flare]

I highly doubt Blu will be able to do anything eureka

It can't even do Potd

To level just get power levelles at lv69 mobs

[signal shore]

as a SMN how do I place actions from my pet hotbar bar (sic, place, heel etc.) onto my skill hotbar?

[slate arrow]

Egi assault 1 and 2

They automatically swap to the relevant pet actions when said pet is deployed

[little swift]

Read the question again

[signal shore]

that's not my question, but I appreciate the hel

help*

[little swift]

Should be able to drag them from the actions tab

OH I SEE

my bad

[little swift]

wrong item

[leaden ginkgo]

is the relic main hand the skysung gear?

[silver ruin]

yes

the i500 relic

[dire prawn]

Is it hard to farm poetics or is it pretty easy to hit the 2k cap

[faint flare]

Nah

Poetics grow on trees

[remote lintel]

if youre lvl 80 you can rake in thousands a day

[faint flare]

Especially when you're clearing a level cap instance for the first time, as you'll receive new player bonus

[dire prawn]

I'm Lv 50

Literally just hit 50

[remote lintel]

do your roulettes

[dire prawn]

I only have leveling roulette >.>

[remote lintel]

how far are you in the msq

[faint flare]

You'll get more roulettes as you do lv50 side content

[obsidian patio]

Do the story, you’re going to get 2 semi-special dungeons that give a lot of them

[dire prawn]

The last MSQ I just did was the one that immediately follows Camp Westwind

[faint flare]

Like trials, alliance raids and 50/60 etx

[obsidian patio]

And those two dungeons are also a roulette that gives a lot of poetics

[dire prawn]

And my next MSQ required 50

[remote lintel]

you dont really need poetics now anyway

youll need them in like

5 minutes but eh

[faint flare]

You'll get alot of them after Ultimate weapon

And unlock all the 50 side content

[dire prawn]

So the easiest way to farm poetics then is MSQ roulette and the Lv 50 dungeon roulette?

[remote lintel]

at your level basically

[faint flare]

You do them once a day

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

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

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[faint flare]

Then you can do unlock the side dungeons and stuff for first time bonus poetics

And unlock alliance raids and stuff for more roulettes

[dire prawn]

Aren't the only two raids I have in ARR/Post-ARR the Crystal Tower and Coils of Bahamut?

[obsidian patio]

Yes but they’re multiple instances

[remote lintel]

the crystal tower is 3 raids

of 24 people

[obsidian patio]

Which means multiple first time bonuses

[remote lintel]

dont do coils

coils doesnt show up in roulette anyway

[obsidian patio]

TL;DR: Coil was balanced for what is currently savage difficulty

So getting random people to complete it on duty finder, even if it pops, can be frustrating

[icy kiln]

I think I'm at Praetorium.. How long is it typically?

[remote lintel]

like 40 mins

[obsidian patio]

40-ish minutes

[icy kiln]

oof, so I need to save it for tomorrow

[dire prawn]

Praetorium is one of the unskippable dungeons right

[icy kiln]

yeah, I think so

[dire prawn]

You have to sit there and watch all the cutscenes

[icy kiln]

considering the one I just did couldn't skip cutscenes

[remote lintel]

yes

[dire prawn]

You're right in front of me in MSQ

[remote lintel]

castrum meridianum and praetorium are the unskippable dungeons

I wish my copy would get here sooner so we could team up on these @dire prawn

[remote lintel]

yea

[dire prawn]

true

I think my next MSQ is actually Castrum Meridianum

[icy kiln]

Yeah

I had a really cool and informative party, so I learned more of what's expected of a tank in an instance like that

[dire prawn]

noice

[remote lintel]

if you need a tank guide we have those

[dire prawn]

I'll need one in a few MSQs when I do the last quest in ARR

[icy kiln]

I've been reading it as I play. I'm definitely a hands on kind of learner

[dire prawn]

Cause as soon as I do the last MSQ in ARR and finish 2.0 I'm gonna switch to MRD

Augh that really sucks :< I really want that bridesmoogle

[leaden ginkgo]

this quest is asking for the material for skysteel tools +1 right?

[little swift]

nope

asking for the first 2 steps to completion

[obsidian patio]

The first two steps have you directly upgrade the tool yourself with token exchanges

[icy kiln]

thats a great quest name

[frozen girder]

Go inside the building

There's a person who will trade the Skysteel tools

[plain python]

@forest sage is it the same retainers that we use to sell things in marketplace?

[frozen girder]

I spent a while trying to figure that out too @leaden ginkgo

[icy kiln]

So for tanks, are AoE's preferable over using the other single target attacks when pulling in a dungeon?

[little swift]

aoe attacks when there are 3 or more targets generally speaking

spam aoe until they're dead

[slate arrow]

the DPS certainly will be spamming AOE so it's generally better to also tank AoE so they don't rip off aggro

[leaden ginkgo]

i mean i am suppose to get the +1 version first to trade with the guy inside?

[frozen girder]

1 sec

[slate arrow]

the guy does both augments

[frozen girder]

Lemme get screenshots

[forest sage]

@plain python yeah pretty sure, never tested the system though, it's entirely pointless imo

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont see the +1 though

[icy kiln]

Ah okay. I was feeling like I wasn't doing enough when I would spam AoE's because it looked like it doesn't deal as much damage, but I need to keep aggro over damage and let DPS handle the hurt, correct?

[slate arrow]

Scroll down more

[leaden ginkgo]

oh ok thanks

[frozen girder]

This dude

[forest sage]

@icy kiln aoes do more dmg when there's enough targets, for tanks it's quite often a 2 targets. threat is not an issue regardless, they made it irrelevant in ShB, tanks generate so much threat you could hit something 3times and go afk and probably still have aggro a couple of minutes later

[leaden ginkgo]

What level does BLU get the suicide skill at?

[forest sage]

1

[slate arrow]

technically, level 1 if you can find a mob in the open world who uses it

there's a few I think

[forest sage]

they have mobs specifically for it and they're low lvl

[little swift]

basically its to stop you from abusing self destruct

and respawning to explode again immediately

[dire prawn]

oh

[leaden ginkgo]

Sooo.. I just kill those mobs to unlock it?

After unlocking BLU

Nothing else required?

[remote lintel]

you need to witness them use it

[little swift]

so basically you have to see the mob cast it

[remote lintel]

and then kill them

and not die

[little swift]

and then you have a chance to learn it when they die if they're an overworld mob

[dire prawn]

BLU = spell stealer

[leaden ginkgo]

BLU starts at level 1 though so I assume

Imma have to level it a bit first

To kill said mobs

[little swift]

its hard to kill the mob if you're underleveled

but self-destruct kills the mob itself

so you can go aggro it with water cannon

and then watch it boom itself if you can survive the autos long enough

[remote lintel]

or get a high lvl player

[little swift]

yes having a friend power level you is the fast way

[frozen girder]

Blue Mage can be leveled super easily if you can get a friend to follow you around and kill enemies after you pull them

[little swift]

and tehn you can go grab spells after

[frozen girder]

You can't be in the same party tho

Just note that in like 1.5 days the BLU level cap is going up by 10

And there's gonna be more spells

[little swift]

i recommend you go to eastern la noscea costa del sol to grab flying sardine as an aggro tool

and use that to pull if you are doing the power level strat

since its an instant cast and you can run while you pull

I believe it was the 5.4 update? I don't remember offhand

[violet ibex]

trying to find the lodestone post or a date, but thanks this helps!

[obsidian patio]

Generally not until the tail end of the next major patch

So the Eden’s Promise Savage raids probably won’t be unlocked until like 5.55

[pastel star]

oh ok so i got some time

[leaden ginkgo]

what is the average gil gain from lvl 80 treasure map? i have not done any are they also hard?

[robust crow]

they're piss easy

average gain I'd say maybe 30-50k?

ehh probably more

it could be way more if you get a drop or if you get to the very end

[leaden ginkgo]

oh do i need a full 8 player party? i just finished shadowbringer

[robust crow]

nope

[leaden ginkgo]

not sure if my gear is up to ilevel

[robust crow]

if everyone has decent gear (i500 or higher) you could do it with 3 people

most people tend to have between 4-6

but 8 is fine too

[leaden ginkgo]

oh i am only 470 average

[robust crow]

that's enough to do the map

especially if you have like 6 people

if your chamber goes to the final room you get like 100k guaranteed

[remote lintel]

average gil gain is like 100k-200k if you get all the way to the end

[robust crow]

drops can be worth 500k-1m or more depending on loot drop

[stuck kayak]

The upcoming patch is likely going to have another relic step with the Bozja update correct?

[robust crow]

it is going to have another step

it's been confirmed

[stuck kayak]

Related Question, if I start getting memories and abandon the quest, I don’t lose the memories right?

Because I’m trying to get all 4 tank relics maxed and I only have WAR left

[elfin edge]

you can just farm out all the memories at once

[glass oxide]

No you don't

[slate arrow]

The items go into your regular inventory so they stay regardless of quest state

[stuck kayak]

Cool, thank you. So if the patch drops and I’m not done with the War relic I’ll get the three other weapons new upgrade and then finish up on the axe.

[forest sage]

you can keep the quest on WAR though since there will be another quest for the new relic

like you can have the various steps on different classes active, atm I have MNK on 2nd step and DNC on 1st step active at the same time

which also lets me get all the memories at the same time

[upper escarp]

Hello. I recently started playing the game, and I want to build towards machinist. As far as I understand, I have to finish some part of the game in order to unlock the machinist job. I'm curious, when leveling, do I pick up side quests and try to finish them or should I only focus on job quests and msq?

[obsidian patio]

Story and job quests is enough experience a majority of the time

Any time you’re short on experience, running your highest level dungeon (that’s not level 50/60/70) is much better than plain sidequests

[upper escarp]

I understand, thank you! Are there any other tips I should know when leveling fresh?

[obsidian patio]

Since you’re on an EU datacenter, you can speed up your queue times a bit by enabling all 4 Languages in the duty finder

Done through the cog at the top of the duty finder menu

[upper escarp]

That's useful, thanks a lot!

[swift pasture]

are all grand company chocobos male?

the ones you get from my little chocobo

[timid geyser]

That's not important tbh

but yes

[leaden ginkgo]

I will be starting my first treasure map, which is a level 80 one. How do I initiate it? And is it instanced? (As in, do I navigate to a specific menu to start it?)

[robust crow]

the map itself tells you whether it's for 1 player or 8 players

zonureskin is the one that's up to 8 players

the map itself is piss easy, you can do it with 3 people that have decent gear

you initiate it by using the "dig" command near the location indicated on the map

once you clear all the monsters, there is a chance an instance spawns, but it doesn't always spawn

[limber kindle]

Hrm. Just a little scared here, maybe someone can help me out: So one of my FC-mates bought the deluxe starlight wallpaper for our FC house, and now I'm looking to take it down, but I got a warning that I could lose some items like those purchased on the mogstation -- does that FCmate have to remove the wallpaper or can I do it without destroying it?

[obsidian patio]

You also need to complete the quest “Trials and Tribulations” in Eastern La Noscea to use treasure maps if you haven’t.

[leaden ginkgo]

Very well, thank you

[obsidian patio]

If the wallpaper was attached to a “blank partition” then I don’t think you get the wallpaper back, but I’d have to double check.

[limber kindle]

it's just in the... whatchamacallit

the remodel interior menu

[leaden ginkgo]

The Gil gained from there is obtained by the monsters, or the instance? I don’t want to pay 50k Gil/map for a low chance of occurance, as my gatherers are still low

[obsidian patio]

The instance

[limber kindle]

you get a chest after you defeat them all and you get some gil and some loot from it, but the instance gives more if it spawns

[robust crow]

first of all

don't buy maps

that's a giant waste of money in my eyes

you're allowed one map gathered per day and no one's running maps every single day

[obsidian patio]

I think I remember them updating so that set of wallpaper/flooring don’t delete themselves, but best to double check with cheaper ones first, like that cellar wallpaper

[robust crow]

most people stockpile like 10 maps and dump them all in one night with their FC or their friends or whatever

second of all, the money you make from maps is heavily RNG

the map itself awards a good amount of money, especially if you are lucky enough to get far into the instance

[limber kindle]

x.x Oof, that's not reassuring. I don't want to cost that person any money

[leaden ginkgo]

if i made a character on a world when it was preferred but its no longer preferred anymore, does my character still keep its bonuses?

[robust crow]

but the real money is going to come from the unique drops

[leaden ginkgo]

Well, that sucks

Thank you for warning me

[robust crow]

like the paint emote or calf leather, which is worth like 1m/500k on my server

i want to clarify

you can gather one map per day

you can run as many as you want

assuming you have the maps

[obsidian patio]

Assuming your character isn’t older than 90 days, then yes you keep the benefits until 90 days pass from character creation

[limber kindle]

@leaden ginkgo yes, you keep the bonuses until you would normally lose them via leveling or I think a set time after the world loses preferred status.

[robust crow]

even though the game says you can only have 1 map at a time

it's wrong

[leaden ginkgo]

its been like half a year since i made the cahracter

so i definitely lost the bonus by now i guess

[limber kindle]

well you can only have one map of any given type on your person at a time, and only one map of any kind active at a time

it's not wrong, just vague

[robust crow]

you can have one map in your inventory, each retainer, and in your saddlebag, and also up to 20 in your mailbox

if your friends run maps regularly your mailbox starts to look like this

[swift pasture]

sorry, I was just curious. I thought it would match your gender 😄

[robust crow]

yes, those are all maps

[leaden ginkgo]

wow

Seems like something you do when you’re free. Since it’s inconsistent to say the least

[limber kindle]

it's not really as long as you do it with a group

[robust crow]

many FCs will schedule a map night once ever week or so

[limber kindle]

my friends and I will do it and make money every time

[robust crow]

and then just blow through like 3 hours worth of maps

[leaden ginkgo]

Even casual FCs do it?

[limber kindle]

yep

[robust crow]

any FC can do it lol

[limber kindle]

well some do.

[robust crow]

maps are easy as fuck

[leaden ginkgo]

Can you only get one lvl 80 map a day? or One of each variation of the map

[robust crow]

they require no skill

[limber kindle]

one map every... 18 hours?

[robust crow]

only one map period

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah, fair enough

[robust crow]

regardless of which map you get

[limber kindle]

it's also worth noting that, unless it's changed, only certain lv. 60, 70, and 80 maps give you a chance at a portal

Dragonskin, Gazelleskin, and Zonureskin respectively

also if you are gathering to find a map and (unless it's fishing) you see a map you don't want, as long as you don't gather it, your 'daily map' isn't considered gathered, so you can keep tapping nodes until the one you want shows up

[leaden ginkgo]

does anyone know if the valentine gear from last year will be on the online store anytime soon?

[green grail]

probably, they usually get added around the next year's "edition" of the event

if I got a necklace chest from E9S yesterday does it mean I can't roll on any E9S drops till weekly reset, ye? but what about the book of umbra, can i get multiple ones by doing multiple clears a week?

[obsidian patio]

!faq savageloot

[zinc orbit]

What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.

Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.

The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests

[green grail]

one book per week too

[obsidian patio]

You only get a chance to loot the coffers on your first run of each instance per week

[leaden ginkgo]

Oof, I see. Thank you!

But then why would anyone join a clear PF if they already cleared it that week, there's no loot for them - except for the fun and adrenaline I guess 😄

[obsidian patio]

Make sure they get the page at minimum

Or just fun

[robust crow]

people do that to help their friends or FC members

or to try for a higher parse

[robust crow]

in ff14 there isn't a good comparison to warrior DPS

what warrior DPS specifically?

arms? fury?

in ff14, every class is a DPS at heart, if you liked warrior DPS you would probably enjoy ff14 warrior

ff14 warrior is very similar to WoW warrior

[cold steppe]

tank is basically a dps with extra steps

[slate arrow]

like even as a tank you still have to DPS

[robust crow]

every single class optimizes for DPS

even healers

[slate arrow]

Aggro management got changed with 5.0 since before then aggro management fell to everyone but the tanks and it got in the way at times

but there's a lot more tank mechanics in raids I think compared to previous expansions

[cold steppe]

when i started the game i didnt understood that meme when every class was coloured red but yeah, every class is essentially a dps, but dps just do more dps without doing other stuff, for the most part lol

i mean as in healing/taking agrro, stuff like that

[leaden ginkgo]

How do I rank up higher than second lieutenant?

[slate arrow]

Squadrons

[robust crow]

you need to get into squadrons

[leaden ginkgo]

My squadron members are level 43 each atm, what should I do specifically?

[slate arrow]

you need to do specific flagged missions with specific criteria

[robust crow]

there are specific missions you have to complete

[leaden ginkgo]

Command, or squadron?

[slate arrow]

I think you need to do ~5 unique command missions (dungeon ones) to access the captain tier

[leaden ginkgo]

Got it. Do they pop up randomly? (Flagged missions) or do I work my way by clearing each and every command mission until aurum vale?

[slate arrow]

they appear whenever you fulfil the requirements

And also require all 3 stats over the bonus value or it's a 100% fail rate

[leaden ginkgo]

Ouch. More often than not I get 1 stat below the recommend value

[slate arrow]

fwiw I didn't tackle the captain rank until I had 4-5 of them at 60

[robust crow]

if you played arms warrior

[slate arrow]

The easiest way to break it is to just out level it

[robust crow]

ff14 warrior is pretty faithful to arms warrior

[slate arrow]

It also helps with the dungeon runs since the AI scale synced is wack

For reference when you're at the level with 2k player HP I think the tank had like 15-20k HP with balanced or defensive

Basically just run them on missions daily and you'll eventually get there

[leaden ginkgo]

Got it. Thank you

we're on Gridania if that helps

or there abouts - I am a total newb 😄

[green grail]

you can't see other players until after you progress the first story quest by a bit, so that might be why

[robust crow]

also, the game doesn't do well with party play

it's primarily a single player experience

for the story at least

it will force you to drop party for instanced events

Is there a way to enter dungeons without 4 people? im at the lvl 15 dungeon(Sastasha?) and joined the queue thing and no one is showing up(probably cause it's an early game dungeon)

my son just told me he already did it and sees other players 😄

I did no know this

[robust crow]

if you are DPS then that's normal benksu

[edgy dune]

yeah im dps

[robust crow]

queue times are going to be long, like 15 minutes

you have no choice but to suck it up and wait

[edgy dune]

okay ty

i saw there is a queue w/ ai option, is that only post lvl 50?

[robust crow]

that's level 70+ only

[edgy dune]

ah

[robust crow]

because they have only designed those dungeons for shb

[edgy dune]

makes sense

ooh queue popped

only 12 min haha

[robust crow]

I suggest playing a healer or tank

if you want those queues to be instant

you'll easily be able to maintain two or three classes's levels with your msq level

hey guys me and my gf are trying to go through the main story questline together but i wanna be able to progress and unlock something on my own. are there any non doh/dol ways to unlock and progress things outside of main story questline?

[obsidian wren]

there's beast tribes which you start unlocking in your low 40s

[jade epoch]

hmm hopefully we hit there soon then 🥲

[hot eagle]

play a race without a tail then

[jade epoch]

lol. helpful

[quasi spire]

most don't

[dense hound]

...there’s two?

Out of the eightish?

[jade epoch]

20%

25%

[timid geyser]

yeah so most don't

[dense hound]

You got options still

[timid geyser]

yeah so 67% without a tail

so most don't

[jade epoch]

how do you access palace of the dead? i was told its a level 18 unlock but i havent found it yet

[dense hound]

Unless you want to half ass being a catboy in which case suffer with tail

[faint flare]

Blue quest in Gridina

House that death built

[warped nest]

Play Hyur?

[jade epoch]

@faint flare ty

[timid geyser]

Anyway

The question was "is there a way to remove the tail"

the answer is no

there's no reasons to debate this longer

[warped nest]

What you see is what you get

Yes

But to play Viera

[hot eagle]

you get 1 for free

[faint flare]

You get one fantasia free

[warped nest]

You need to own Shadowbringers

[faint flare]

On completion of arr

[warped nest]

Yeah

Then save the free fantasia from completing the lvl 50 story

[timid geyser]

Then you'll get an item to change your race upon completing the base game's story

[warped nest]

And use it when you are ready

[dense hound]

What price is a fantasia, usually?

[warped nest]

Genuinely no clue

[jade epoch]

10$

[timid geyser]

aion p2w

[jade epoch]

Aion was some crazy fun pvp

[agile laurel]

Fantasias go on sale relatively frequently

If you're considering buying one in the distant future, hold out for one

[leaden ginkgo]

How much points is gentle light?

[tidal yarrow]

hello, 2 questions:
can i prioritize my buffs over other party members buff on me? as of now, they all random and i think ordered by time remaining of the buff.
can i hide the big SMN's dragon with some setting? it really is big.

[faint flare]

Cant order buffs
/Bahamutsize small

[tidal yarrow]

thank you

level50 msq? i think

[hot eagle]

after you did the first lvl 50 msq iirc

[faint flare]

After Ultimate weapon

[solid crypt]

On controller, how do i make it so that "R1" doesn't cycle between the other crosshotbars?

[obsidian patio]

Character Config > Hotbar Settings > Custom

You can decide which sets you cycle through, both with your weapon sheathed and unsheathed.

[dusky rain]

I’m confused; online the recommended materia meld for a whm crit>det>dh but the balance says the exact opposite which is to meld piety.

[obsidian patio]

Piety is a comfort stat in terms of priority

Meld it until you feel like you have enough for comfortable healing, and then you do crit > det/DH

[dusky rain]

Until I feel like I have enough? Idk what enough means tho. Lol.

[solid crypt]

thank

[obsidian patio]

Basically if you feel like you’re constantly at low MP even though people aren’t dying, then you meld more.

[dusky rain]

Ohhh I see. Otherwise stick to crit>det/dh

So if mp isn’t an issue for me I can just skip that altogether

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[dusky rain]

With thin air and Lucid dreaming we hardly need more piety IMO.

Ok thank you that helps me decide

[obsidian patio]

The savage fights this tier are pretty healing-intensive, so you might feel a bit of MP struggle there

But most of the time, for me, the natural piety on my gear is good enough

[dusky rain]

Sounds good, thanks again

[stable hinge]

is the cassie earring just a gold reward with low rate or is there something else I need to do to get it like with bozja fates

[dusky rain]

Gold reward with low rate

Just rng

[worthy rain]

Is it recommended to put a retainer, the sooner the best?

[obsidian patio]

They’re your item banks of the game, so yeah you want to hire the 2 free ones ASAP

[worthy rain]

I have lots of g, just use it for travelling

A retainer gets you more, ok there are 2 free great

[lament citrus]

is The Puppets' Bunker still on weekly limit ?

[dusky rain]

Wynne, would you recommend DH over DET?

[glass oxide]

Weekly limit was removed with 5.4

[gritty oracle]

On a tank or DPS, I recommend dh. On a healer it's whichever you prefer, I usually meld dh.

[twilit arch]

only weekly thing with puppet's bunker is the cracked clusters you get at the end of your first run for the week @lament citrus

[leaden ginkgo]

sb somebody show me their blm hot bar on ps4 ? level 80. i’m only 40 but i wanna get in the habit now

[raw solstice]

there's at least one controller example on here

!faq blmui

[zinc orbit]

How should I set my hotbars and UI up on KB/M or controller?

UIs and hotbars are usually something very personal. Put actions that you use a lot (like F4) on easy to reach buttons. We have here some examples from the community.

[inland zenith]

Is there a resource to help tracking the completion of the gathering log?

[proper lotus]

Hello so I just bought the collectors edition. I guess it doesn't include the base game.
Do I just need to buy the starter edition then I can have all the DLC because of the collectors edition including shadowbringers?

[strange coral]

If you bought the ShB Collector's edition, then yes, you need to buy the starter as well.

[proper lotus]

Ahh thank god.

I guess ShB includes Stormblood?

[strange coral]

Yes

[proper lotus]

Thank you so much!

[native pollen]

how do i start carpentry?

[twilit arch]

you need to equip the main hand that was given to you when you did the quest "So you want to be a carpenterr"

[native pollen]

ah thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

How do I get an Allagan melon

Grow it

Or buy off market

[leaden ginkgo]

What do I have to do after I acquire Thyrus Nexus... In one of the guides says to acceot 4 quests.3 in Mor dhona and 1 in mutagenix place, but I dont see any quests there

And nothing tells me what to do after

[hot eagle]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Zodiac_Braves_Weapons/Quest

should be the next step

[vernal creek]

hi do any of you guys play from Iran or any other country that is not supported by square enix? i used a vpn to register but I'm not able to get into the game itself.

[hot eagle]

you probably will need a vpn to play also because of the embargo

[leaden ginkgo]

WHAT is in the new patch

[vernal creek]

yeah i tried using a vpn for the game too but i got error i2501.

[halcyon radish]

I'm having trouble with Discord not wanting to recognise that i'm playing ff14

it recognises most other things I boot up but not ff14 so i think maybe it's a ff14 problem?

[leaden ginkgo]

Will 5.45 include the next part of the relic?

Yeah I found my answer on google already ty

how the fk do i find aethercurrents

Weirdly, the detailed guide didnt have such ibfo lol

The way to zeta 4.5 one

[strange coral]

Did you try adding the game in discord's game activity settings?

[hot eagle]

yes for the resistance weapon/relic also the next step for the crafter and gatherer relic also

[leaden ginkgo]

how to find aethercurrent?

With Aether compass

Oh my, I gotta get caught up! Thank you :) @hot eagle

how do u get that

Hmm it was a long time ago for me, but I think u get it during msq at some point

[halcyon radish]

@strange coral adding stuff manually doesn't work very well for me usually but i'll try this once

[hot eagle]

should be in your keyitems if you didnt buy a story skip

[leaden ginkgo]

nah i have it

idk where it is

though

LOL

yeah i threw it away

[hot eagle]

try to talk to gaufrid in rhalgr's reach

should give you a new one

or gibrillont in the forgotten knight

[leaden ginkgo]

i got my fc to carry me and get them but i will get after ty

is there a list to which side quest give yellow aether currents?

[obsidian wren]

they are all

so they're pretty easy to find

sometimes the quests can be in nearby cities too

[leaden ginkgo]

ahh i see okay

do i have to kill shit in them

or just get current?

[obsidian wren]

most of the quests are pretty basic

theres a couple that have a dungeon tho

[leaden ginkgo]

is the road to 70 buff too good to pass on, in your opinion guys?

[obsidian wren]

unless you want to be in the same world with friends i'd go for the buff

the xp boost is a huge help in leveling alt jobs

[faint flare]

It helps levelling alts

[obsidian wren]

also works on crafters & gatherers 😌

[gloomy ice]

It’s almost broken in how effective it is at helping out alt jobs. Since it doubles all exp including bonuses.

[leaden ginkgo]

ah fair

bloody Midgar ;-;

HOW TO TURN CHOCBO MUSIC OFF?

also are the side quest for yellow currents in that same area?

cant decide between Monk and dragoon

can anyone help?

pro and cons?

[wispy parcel]

Monk can be a bit more difficult to play as almost all of its moves are positionals

Dragoon is a lot more beginner friendly with only 2 positionals

[wispy parcel]

no real cons to either job tho

[leaden ginkgo]

they do the same DPS?

[faint flare]

The difference is negligible

[scarlet kindle]

Hello, I'm near to finishing ARR and I read somewhere that finishing the DRG questline before HW would give result to more dialogue. Is that right and if so should I just level DRG now?

[faint flare]

Yes and the dialogue is literally like one line
