I'm trying out SAM and I'm confused when I should use enpi or if I should even use it at all
You use enpi when for whatever reason you can't get close to the boss
Except you also don't want to do it if it'll break your combo or if you can get back into melee within a gcd
So for example if there was some sort of mechnic in a raid fight that meant I couldn't be near the boss for several seconds I'd probably spam enpi at it
stack mechanics out of melee/standing away from the boss to dodge aoes and stuff
How do I fish collectable fish? Nvm, I see Fisher still has Collect action unlike the other two DoL..
Ty sm
it bothers me that a few characters' hairstyles are very pixely and gross looking and most of the rest aren't
is there a way to fix this?
i forgot to add the question

Outside of maybe mods no
yikes, poor alphinaud and alisae
How do ai check my latest achievemnt?
I got one for clearing new assault but it went away quicjly
And yeah I am aware I can see it in chat, but its not there xd i realized too late
open achievements and one of the top tabs should be 5 most recent ones
Do I have to do Crystal Tower/Critical Engagements as the Relic class`?
Does something like a Bladed Steel Jig get used up when you catch a fish? If it's 'realistic' it shouldn't because it's a lure and not a bait, right?
for the mechanical lures, they dont get used up when you catch a fish, but if you fail to catch there's a chance of losing it
Awesome, thank you โค๏ธ
Is it possible to float two partitions at once? Trying to do a white rectangular partition and a Riviera half partition clipped together and am getting nowhere.

Do relics lose their melds when you upgrade them? (combat relics)
yes, theyโre considered completely different items
how do i take a picture?
print screen
alright thx
no i want to add lights and stuff
do /gpose
thanks
I know people can tend to plants in your garden, but can they tend plants inside your house too?
Just a thought, but maybe we shouldn't put patch 5-45 spoliers right above question and help change to avoid missclicks?
#discord-feedback , though new/temporary channels like that are usually above, mostly so people who have 5.45 questions go there instead of here, and it's easier to notice if it's in question-and-help's original position
What's the name of a new hairstyle?
Has anyone came across the new TT cards outside of the guy in uldah?
is there an app or 3rd party tool that let's you type chat with your fc? i'm on ps4 and chatting is really hard lol
Just use a usb keyboard?
i don't have one :/
You should totally invest in one
would any usb keyboard work with a ps4 though?
Yes
worth it 100% to get a keyboard for ps4
being able to chat efficiently in game improves your gameplay experience immensely
Can i have 2 datacenter roles? Or only one?
Bluetooth keyboards work too
You can have multiple
You can have as many datacenter roles as you want.
But if Aether is one of them, your name will be green.
Thank you. I have selected the 3 datacenters i play on.
must we do the crystal tower synced?
when does the duty roulette reset?
for memories
I mean, you don't have to, but you do need at least 3 players (15 for LotA because of mechanics at one point), so there's not reason not to do CT synced @humble osprey
just reset @final steeple
they just did?
yes
ok thank you
@civic spoke its a bit tedious (get a usb keyboard) but you can also download the Playstation app and use the virtual keyboard on your phone to type ingame also.
The reason it's tedious is because you have to be ready to type in game before you can use the ps app kb. I used that til i got a usb keyboard on ps
is there a specific time for castrum lacus litore to spawn? or is it completely random
CLL spawns ~50 minutes after the instance starts, and every hour after that.
Why is the critical damage stat valued over anything else? Shouldnโt we aim for consistency? Or do the benefits for the chance of its occurrence far outweigh the other secondary stat(s)? (Determination, etc)
Because Crit increases both crit chance and crit damage, which nets to a higher value overall.
When playing Triple Triad. Getting a card as reward is totally random? Or there must be any kind of condition ?
Oh, crit chance. That makes more sense
Completely random, other than you obviously need to win before the game will decide if it wants to give you one or not
what's the reason for this?

Were there more people queued than could fit?
If you don't have priority up you have a chance of not getting picked to go in
If there's too many people in the critical engagement, then it won't register a full party
we had actually
whats the best way to power level blu?
It prioritizes solo players before full party
1-60 have a friend kill mobs you tag (while not in a party) in Azys Lla.
thanks
Correction
Not sure where the new leveling zone recommendation is.
why the beach?
Nvm solved it.
Greetings, so i was wondering since i've arrived to idylleshire in my msq, should i buy the full augmented shire set lvl 270 armor and accessories or would it be a waste and i should save for later?
i would recommend buying atleast the weapon
Khlosuia beach can run a line and tag kolbolds and goubbles pretty easy
That i did
can buy it from bertana
Tons of mobs on the beach
but you don't need to go out of you way to buy the full set
grab chest/pants after that if you've got spare poetics
and whatever else you feel like with any left over
Poetics are too easily obtainable to worry about wasting them tbh ...
msq gives you decent enough gear when you get to post msq
but ultimately, yeah, dont need to feel like you should save poetics
is there going to be an event this month?
should be valentine's day event
Thanks 
but given that hasnt been announced and that's usually at the start of feb, its a bit debatable atm
What's a good glamour item that looks similar with the Paladin's "crown" from its Job gear that works for other classes?
does the first 48 man in bozja gate the new relic stuff?
Is PotD worth going to to level up low level characters?
if youre dps maybe
if can stand the soul killing of grinding potd over queue roulette for dps it works
is there an lfg channel here? or is that also the recruitment channel?
Recruitment
Is new hair seriously a drop from delubrum?
garlean synthetic fabric what is it used for?
Relics
what to cast with Triple Cast for BLM?
Fire 4s or Despairs primarily

How do I get the new 5.45 hair?
possible drop from last boss of the new bozja raid thing
Bozja 
No way
anyone know if there's a discord for doing bozja?
But that hair was revealed back at that NieR raid
that doesn't mean anything
either way tho, its tradeable so can be bought off the marketboard
does retainer gear affect retainer quick explos?
Hi! What are the benefits/ rewards for completing the new raid in Bozjan Southern Front? Both normal and Savage? (Besides the relic weapon)
Yes. Affects the size of the pool of items available to draw from
doing the savage version atleast one gives you the cerberus mount
and exp?
It gives exp to sub 80 classes?
Exp is scale to level now afaik, and not whats brought back
not sure if DR gives exp, but if i had to guess based on CLL, it doesn't
So, mount and exp?
Patch notes say level 80 is required
Dr also gives item for relic
hiya all ๐ since today's update, do i have to update ACT fot it to work? it does not seem to be working for me today
ACT always breaks with every patch
so basically just gotta wait for the dev to update it, should be soon ish
ah ok thanks ๐
what is this feast event?
Just ranking season
help. im rank 9 but i cant pass here. i dotn have any quests i need to do either.
You've definitely missed a quest if you can't get past there at R9
but i dont see anything in bozja or outside
maybe you have one in your journal already
oh u right. tyty
im guessing the best way to level blue now is like last time?
level 70 zone with another person?
You can try with a party at Lochs . It takes around 1 and a half hour to max
Does anyone know at what point in the ShB msq the Tome of Revelation trader unlocks?
you need to complete the main scenario quest "Shadowbringers" (so the final quest of 5.0)
possible drop from the last boss of delubrum reginae
tradeable so can also buy from mb
what's the name again?
Modern Aesthetics - Early to Rise

what happens if youre in a level sync area, say down to 20, but your class's minimum level is above that, like if im about to unlock dragoon/samurai later
there's no minimum level of a job for level sync
they still have skills of different levels, you just get them all at once
ahh, that makes sense, ty
so when you sign up for samurai, you just get all of the skills up to lvl 50?
yeah
makes sense
does every new relic step require you to be on the job it's for?
When i become a dragoon, do i have to level that separate from lancer? I've been told its an upgrade for the job but also that it's a separate job. Should i continue to level up lancer or just go for dragoon levels until 50?(Assuming they are levelled separate)
no
Dragoon is lancer
the person who said it was simply an upgrade was correct
Whenever you're a job, you get that classes Xp
it's a confusing terminology for simply 'when lancer hits 30 and does its job quests, it becomes dragoon'
ahhh ok
lancer stops getting skills past 30
well, it sort of doesn't, but
it stops getting meaningful upgrades when it should've been dragoon
yeah the drg soul stone unlocks further lancer progress (skills)
I hit the gil cap on my free trial.. What should I be spending money on at Level 55?
(don't ask me why chaos thrust unlocks at level 50 lancer, of all things)
Not a whole lot you can spend it on, usually I recommend doing beast tribe quests asap since you can spend a lot of Gil on worthwhile things for it
I've got a standard Scaevan Choker of Casting; there's no way to convert it to Augmented anymore, is there?
I guess you can unlock them now and buy some decent materials for crafting
you could always buy some more expensive dyes if you're able, if you just want to liquidise it for later if you intend on buying the game
salvager npcs should be able to trade in old unaugmented tome equipment
yeah
o7
sry for so many questions, but im waiting on a dungeon queue haha. Ive been told it is beneficial to level other classes as well as your main one while waiting for queues etc. I wanna play dps, would it better to level a thaumaturge so i can play a black mage later as well as samurai or would it be better to work on a healer/tank
up to you really. tanks and healers have the benefit of shorter queue times
kk
Playing black mage has no bearing on whether you can play samurai
Those two jobs are mutually exclusive
Eh unfortunately, the salvager does not have the trade-in, it seems.
wait I'm dumb, I found it
potd isn't generally recommended for tank leveling, since they have quick queues
For future reference; it's found in the [Deal in Spoils] section
do your daily roulettes and then do highest level dungeon spam (ignoring 50/60/70 dungeons since they dont give good exp)
what is the best way to level a secondary class. Should i just do sidequests that i can find of the appropriate level?
does that count ignoring Prae and Castrum?
you generally don't queue specifically for prae/castrum so yes
should do msq roulette tho
yeah, I just did that. I've gotten Prae everytime
when i say ignore 50/60/70 i mean when you're manually queueing for dungeons, not doing a roulette. tho 50-70 roulette is also not recommended for exp since its pretty meh
How do I start a party I formed with PF?
You queue up the same as if you were doing so solo.
about how long would it take grinding bozja to catch up with whats needed for the new stuff?
if you get a group together, not terribly long? solo it might be a while though
How do I get the healer in squadron missions to heal me as tank >_>
is frontline roulette really worth for levelling?
if you queue in prime time yeah
it's pretty good
Wouldn't the 50/60/70 roulette be super good if you're within 1 level of those numbers?
not really
no
50/60/70 dungeons, nor the roulette, gives very good exp
level cap dungeons don't give as much exp
weird the roulette doesn't compensate for that
How do I get the healer in squadron missions to heal me as tank >_>
I'm legit pulling 1 enemy at a time
And they can't heal me
They heal me a tiny bit at a time
Like every 15 seconds
when I got the next main scenario rulette? im 66 and always imperial crap
There is none
there is no other dungeons in msq roulette
Only those 2
its just prae and castrum
XD
its meant to be able to get newbies through the final MSQs of ARR
Honestly if they added 1 or 2 MSQ like dungeons at the end of each expansion, and added them to the roulette that would be much better
no
Why not?
that's what 50/60/70/80 and expert are for
I mean
People hate doing them a second time
The first time people do them it's not so bad, because you actually read the story
this isn't the channel for this discussion
Whoops
yes my first was why people speed run so much but now I understand
is delebrum savage really hard
is there any good web page where you can see a list of the unlockable hairstyles in the game and preview them?
Apparently
damn :(
if its anything like BA, the difficulty mainly comes from the small room for error. mechanically it shouldnt be anymore difficult than an EX trial at MOST
most of the fights i found in BA were about normal raid difficulty
with ozma being similar to an EX trial
one more question is ultimate difficulty for the average player or only for crazy good player I mean on wow forum ultimate had reputation for been harder than wow mythic raiding and even so a very few people can clear all mythic on current tier, so if is harder that means is for elite players only?
Top 1%
ugh PFs can't do extremes half the time so good luck
yes, a very low amount of people end up actually clearing ultimate raids. with that being said, i believe anyone can play at an ultimate level with enough time and effort
question about the need/greed system. I know need is like if it is a direct upgrade and greed is if you just want it as extra, so i usually pass or greed on most stuff, but the one time i saw something that was lancer and was an upgrade to the current chestplate i had, it wouldnt let me select need. any ideas why?
so ARR was a bit wonky time period
once guides and stuff come out for DR, the main difficulty is going to be finding a group lol. in that case i recommend joining your data center's Eureka/Bozja discord to find a group. normally someone thats very good at callouts can basically carry the entire thing (that was the case with BA anyway, i expect DR to operate very similarly)
in that they kind of wanted lnc/drg to be like a sudo tank of sorts
so there's some pieces of gear in ARR that have lnc/drg as jobs that can wear it, but they aren't actually intended to be for lnc/drg
they're tank pieces, they're intended for tanks and thats why you can't roll need on them
ohhhhhhh
thanks, i was realy confused since it was the first piece of gear i found in a dungeon that would actually seem to work for me lmfao
need is for when the gear is your class

its an understandable confusion with those ARR tank pieces
I am currently on Stormblood, but I really like the new hairstyle. How much of this Bozja content will be required as a prerequisite before you can do Delebrum? I'm also worried it will be dead by the time I get there.
eureka has been around for like 3 years and people still do it
bozja won't be dead
What about the 24 man instance though?
the prices will probably go down in a few months right?
though right now it's likely to be fairly expensive but there's a good chance it'll decrease in price in a few months
pretty sure you need to do the dungeons to advance the relic weapon
if that's the case then they shouldn't be dead either
you do need both castrum and delebrum to progress relic, yes
well that's good, thank you
is worh to do the inspector quest chains?
hildebrand?
yes
yes
Is crafting lvl 80 gear worth it?
if it's exarchic yes
k
This is late, but as a fellow free trial player I've been doing the supply and provision stuff at the Grand companies to level up the crafting and gathering stuff. At the lower levels, almost everything is buyable from whatever npc market stall, maybe needing to teleport to a crafting places specific store, like goldsmith for mining stuff. Much better then wasted gil from hitting the cap. It works until like the 20 for most thing s, and up to like 40 for anything that makes weapons or armor.
Can I create a character on a * server get the bonus and then transfer to Balmung after Im done leveling?
How do I change the color of my house?
Thank you
should note tho there's a 90 day cd on world transfer if you start on a preferred server
how do people usually form groups for 48-man duties? are there discords or something for it
i cant imagine getting that many people just through party finder
PF will probably work while the content is still popular. I already see the Primal BA discord is adjusting for the new raid as well.
what is the best way to level up a secondary class? do you just do side quests or is there something else you can do to lvl up faster
!faq altlvlguide
ty
Is there some place to form groups for Bozja castrum on the light datacenter?
Hey, with the relic upgrade out today, anyone know what ilvl they can reach now at max?
515
ah, kk thanks!
is it possible to macro all my buffs on one button so i can activate them all at once?
something like
/ac Bloodbath
/ac "Lance Charge"
/ac "Second Wind"
/ac "Life Surge"
since they dont have the like 2.5 second cooldown like most things?
well
first of all
don't do that
all skills in the game have an internal cooldown
that's why you can only double weave
so it wont activate all of them if i do that?
no
ah
every skill has an internal cooldown of something like .6 seconds or whatever
Only one /ac can fire at a time. Just like if you hit all 4 keys at the same time only one will activate.
it makes it so that a maximum of 2 skills can be weaved between GCDs
oh thats what double weave means okay was just about to ask that
dragoon is special in that their jumps have a longer delay
so you can't double weave with a jump
was just thinking about making a "panic button macro" with all my lifesteal and heal stuff but unfortunately wont work lol
every jump has to be single weaved
ok so i can use 2 of anything unless 1 is a jump in between the GCD skills
pretty much
makes sense, ty
and no, you can't do 3
doing 3 will clip
even at the slowest skill speed, it'll clip
anyone have any info on the cerberus mount and new hair? ๐
DR savage and DR normal respectively
For both?!
Oh! Sweet thank you! ๐ญ
day 1 prices are exorbitant though
unless you're rich enough to buy a large house, best bet is to try and get it yourself
is the chocobo the best mount to use for my first time going through MSQ? im lvl 31 DRG rn, wondering if there is another i should try to get
For the most part, they all function the same. Exceptions are the ones with 2 or 4 seats.
The company chocobo is fine
okie, just makin sure i wasnt missing somethin large ty
to clarify
they all run at your fastest unlocked mount speed
so in the end it doesn't matter what mount you use

And you NEED your chocobo quest done to use ANY mount
you unlock more mounts later in the story, other sources of mounts include achievements, mogstation, some bosses, sidequests, etc.
The only exception is the ff7 cloud bike you can buy on Mogstation, but even then you'll get the first speed upgrades for all mounts from the story so it has limited use
that bike costs like $35, fyi
Hello there's something I don't understand, I want to change the world except that when I want to do it I'm told that I have a piece of land and so I can't but on the site it says not to give up your land to be reimbursed, so what do I have to do?
how long do Online Store items usually take to deliver?
usually not too long, but account bound items can often take longer to be delivered. Also if the system is backed up, can also make it take a bit. Can hit the "request delivery" button when talking to mail moogle, but ultimately just have to be patient
@quaint sequoia the bonus is only if you want to go from congested to preferred servers iirc
bet, thank you. i hit that purchase request button twice so now i guess i just wait lol. i spent 30 on the bike so i want my bike now 
I'm currently on Spriggan and I want to go on Shiva so it's not possible? ๐ฆ
!status spriggan
Definitely not lol
And Lich? ๐ฆ
you have to relinquish it since you're not moving from congested to preferred
There is also written in the rules "It is possible to benefit from a change of World of origin without proceeding to the transfer of your property ONLY IF you go to a new World" so concretely they say that you can be reimbursed with a change of world but on the other hand they say that it is not possible I really have trouble understanding :/
what ilvl are the relics?
** IF your character is transferring to a New World, or transferring from a Congested World to a Preferred World.**
515
therefore you are not able to benefit from the reimbursement
"New World" refers to a status, like Preferred, not the new world you're moving to
its not talking about transferring to a different world in general, but actual newly released worlds
Spriggan was a New world up until 5.3 or so
uh...no
Whoops
spriggan was removed from new world status around like 5.1
Ah, gotcha. It's been a while haha
Oh yes, because when they say "New world" I think it was a change for a new world that we chose and not a new world created by Square Enix im dumb xDD
Yeah it gets confusing at times don't worry about it
They could have written "New World Recently Created" rather than "New World" lol
What vertion 8.80 did?
what should my Grand Company seals be saved for/spent on?
Weird, there was a patch
This post has a few tips on what to spend seals on
Since you can get quite a few from poetic gear trade ins
yes, the patch was for 5.45
8.80 of 5.45 it says
PS4 version uses 8.x internally for whatever reason
Most people are still going to refer to it as 5.45 though since that's what's in the patch notes and lodestone and such
Cool, does promoting offer anything except for a larger seal cap?
Yes
access to more items you can buy
Question. I am considering coming back but saw something about a returner campaign or something? Is that still going on?
no
I don't think so?
callback campaign ended in january
specifically the 26th
and probably won't see another of it or the free login campaign for a while
awww. Ok. I just didn't want to miss out on free gametime
Does anyone know what the new step for the relic weapon is?
"change of arms" is the quest for the next step
Do I need to be a specific rank in bozja to get that quest?
You need have completed Castrum Lacus Litore, which requires rank 10
to progress the bozja story to get to that point
As with parties, can a fc be made of members from different servers?
do bitter memories have to be gotten unsynced?
no
f
you have to run the dungeons sync'd
Ok (y), it would make sense that fc are not cross server, if not what differences with parties?
fcs have houses ? >.>;
free companies CAN have houses
Can anyone help me with the level 52 Alchemist quest "Magic Marks The Spot". I need 3 Enchanted Mythrite Inks which are High Quality and I lack the HQ Materials to make it
you can just buy it off marketboard
or upgrade your gear and craft it, you shouldn't need HQ mats
Can you still obtain memories of the dying after you completed the quest
There is only one problem to that. I don't have enough gil to my name to buy it
marketboard is very likely overpriced
if you hop servers you may find a much better deal
or again, craft it yourself, assuming your gear is up to date you shouldn't have any problems crafting it without HQ mats
or gather NQ mats and play around with trial synthesis until you HQ it, it should be doable with all NQ mats
or just come back and do the quest later
you can sit on crafting quests all the way until level 66
that's the only time they give you anything important
I know this update just came out but what do you guys think is the best place to level up Blu from 60 to 70 so far?
Thank you!
@robust crow is that a stormblood location? I cant seem to find it on my teleport list
that's a shadowbringers location
Ohh damn... I just finished stormblood... still have a ways to gp for shadowbringers
tbh if you aren't caught up with MSQ (or at least finished shadowbringers) i wouldn't really be worrying about BLU mage at all
is there any reason to keep old weapons and armor or should I just sell them off?
but that's just me
@robust crow i love the class to much to just stop lol plus my bro and I are planning on doing some blu mage quest tonight
I just came back recently and wanted to do the new weapon relics/DD but I have to do the Ivalice raid. I'm on the 2nd step to unlock it but been in queue for over 4 hours and still only 1/2/1. Is there a way to find a group for it easier?
try queuing at a busier hour
@icy kiln sorta, for later jobs, but otherwise yeah just sell
right now is dead hour for NA servers
Any reco? This is my 3rd time trying.
It'll get busy in an hour or two
Okay will keep waiting.
but rn you should fine a queue just fine
@slate arrow is there a way to store them or is that just for unique items?
@icy kiln retainers
also queue as a DPS
oh god, I completely forgot about retainers
If you're on free trial you're out of luck though
you're more likely to find a spot in an alliance raid as DPS
welp
Once I hit 60, I'll be upping to full sub, though. I'm at 55 right now, so not much longer
Also most players are currently playing ShB content or crafting since Bozja and relics came out
well on that same vein
there's probably a higher-than-usual number of players trying to do the ivalice raids
since they're required to even get into bozja
Thanks - Yea. I've tried as healer and DPS. Tried Fri night and Sunday morning but I'll just keep on waiting. NO alternative it seems.
Mmmmm if they wanted to do relics they would've done it within the .2 or .3 patch
Can you pay to skip all of this โcontentโ?
which content
All of it
You can only skip leveling and story
To get to end game
I wanna do relics, but I didn't play in .2/.3 - Only unretired for 5.45 to catch up and prep for potential expansion
Be finished with โquestsโ
@hard quail you'll have to wait for roulletes then
@rigid wolf you can't skip the last 10 levels and the expansion story
most people in here are going to recommend heavily against skipping any content on your first playthrough
Ok
otherwise you have a very high chance of being one of "those" players at level 80 who are playing incredibly poorly
Bro i promise these endless garbage fetch quests are not improving my game
also "why can't I do nothing" because the story naturally leads you to where most of the unlocks and side content are
if you're still sub-level 50 then all i can tell you is that it gets better significantly
Yea I don't agree with that logic at all - MSQ doesn't make you a better player, but if you're wanting to skip 'to be done with quests' I also think you might be in the wrong MMO.
MSQ does make you a better player, it's designed to be a slow progression
Final Fantasy game first and MMO second
Im really just not interested in the story or searching open world for 20 min etc
Because in this case, this final fantasy starts you off as a no name adventurer
someone who has paid to skip story is also likely missing hundreds of hours of practice on their class
Of course you're going to have to do fetch quests, nobody knows who you are outside the adventurers guild
Not much to the classes rotation. Its learning movement and mech
lol
I've done full MSQ on 2 accounts and I personally can attest, 3 shotting quest mobs don't help me parse at all. The only long fights you're usually playing as a memory of another character.
If you're in ARR/HW I would recommend a story skip if you hate it. If you're past HW, it isn't that bad.
Then you're also missing like all your job abilities it seems
if you're 68 and there's "not much to the class's rotation"I can almost certainly promise you you're playing your class suboptimally
Are u srsly telling me hundreds of hours of slog fetch quests are going to help me improve tho
Fetch quests drop off at around level 30 in the MSQ
You're absurdly overleveled assuming you've stalled out on MSQ and have been just slapping Roulettes
Weird cuz im in lvl 50 missions and they are pretty brainless
!wl @hard quail
I thought the level 50 story was pretty rad. A lot of worldbuilding with the ascians and garleans and stuff
Oh, and crystal Tower was pretty rad
all the primal fights at level 50 are pretty fun
(until I had to run it for the 50th time because roulette cheese)
Just ready to sweat. Min max etc. dont have time really to grind story
idk man you sound like the kind of person who's going to quit in a week
I personally enjoy the story also. If you were in ARR/HW I would say skip it. If you're almost to StB and you wanna skip it, you're going to have this issue every major patch. The end game doesn't really have enough PvE content to only do it.
Yea but you can do all that without the filler if u skip right?
nope
Oh im def gonna play it just wana skip the filler/story
The MSQ Skip also doesn't unlock all dungeons for older content either.
Cool yea ill do that
This isn't filler, it's story
the filler is the literal sidequests that look like this

everything with the MSQ icon is not filler

Yes yes ok thank you very much
It may feel like filler but every character has their reasons for making you run around, on top of the Warrior's of Light natural inclination to help anyone who says help
hey man don't let us veterans tell you how to play the game
but I sure hope you can play your class well when you hit 80
idc if you skip story personally but for the love of god don't be a 0dps healer or a gray-parse DPS
No parsing
lol
Wow
I'ma bow out but it is very condescending and EXTREMELY asinine to think "if you skip MSQ you can't POSSIBLY figure out your rotation." Literal target dummies to learn that, in 30 minutes. I -love- the MSQ but it didn't teach me how to play. Dungeons did.

you're missing the point teo
Yall are kinda ๐ฌ
it's not "msq teaches you how to play", it's "msq forces you to learn your class at a reasonable pace"
skipping MSQ means you skip dozens of hours worth of boss fights and dungeons
personally ik i dont have much input, im only lvl 33, but im loving the MSQ so far, i think it's a little slow-paced but it's helping me learn, and the pace is supposed to pick up at 50 anyways
Id like to learn that stuff from people i know that know it really well as opposed to having the game teach me at ridiculous pace
Is all
!faq balance
here you go then
Couldnt find on mog. Kept being redirected
You can't skip to the end
Right
it sets you up to learn multiple different classes by the time you complete MSQ
I know
It's recommended but not required
I can get help for end
I saw they added a new hairstyle as well... how do we unlock it?
for the learning multiple classes thing, im 33 DRG and nothing else, would i have to grind another class just as high to participate?
And Im sure Bozja is unlocked after MSQ huh? @robust crow
if your main class is ahead of your MSQ, you only need to level a second or third or subsequent class up to the MSQ level to continue it
if you have the road to 70 bonus leveling up a second job goes very quickly
Yep, 5.0 and completed stormblood alliance raids
between roulettes and other leveling sources, catching up a class is pretty quick
the worst part of leveling is 1-15 before you can enter a dungeon
alternatively I think you could buy it off the marketboard but good luck currently
Prices are still in the millions
Thank you guys!!!!
are all the ARR mount farming places(I think they're called ex trials) level 50?
yes
But nobody does them synced
Everyone does them solo unsync level 80
You could get a party finder going though
hey, i am lv 61 with my bard and played only healer before. i try to find a group but it is really a pain. what content you recommend for me? fates im also alone and this skytower thing, also looking allready 20min for a group
Level 61 dungeon or heaven on high
but i wait always over 20min this is crazy
that's normal for DPS
my queue times are usually 15-20
a 20 min queue is just normal dps queue lmao
yeah, that's the downside of DPS
i recommend joining an FC or having friends to give you healer/tank queues
i was really confused why they do not release more tank and healer jobs to balance this
beast tribes and roulette
yeah!
Can someone confirm new hair drops in delubrum, so I'm not like idiot replaying it if ita not?
give us atleast 2 new healer and 2 new tanks to balance this
I was tild its in last chest
at best we get 1 tank OR 1 healer per expansion
okay and which map is good to fate grind? is there maybe also a "fate" guide. if i use google i get weird answers from gaming websites
yoshi-p and his team busted ass to get DRK + AST out in HW
that may never happen again
They tried with Heavensward, role populations didn't change muchb
fates arent great for leveling at 61
What happens most of the time is healers play healers, DPS play DPS, and Tanks play Tanks
True I'm hoping for either new tank or healer at least
Sure you might temporarily get higher role populations on expansion release but more often than not most players fall back into their preferred role or job quite easily
If i'm playing with the windows launcher free edition, can i buy the game on steam and use my same account?
yes
youll be locked to steam when you do
"locked to steam" does that just mean whenever i wanna play i have to go through steam?
ok thats fine
youll have to buy all future expacs on steam
Theyre always released at the same time
im fine with paying full price, i just usually use steam for games so figured it'd be more convenient to use steam so long as im not waiting longer for the expansions
The only difference is discount times
kk
anyone know what the fastest crystal tower raid is?
Probably the labrynth of the ancients or crystal Tower
my vote leans toward lota
you're probably least likely to wipe on syrcus tower
if you wipe then it could take longer
It's not needed. Some people recommend it if you're on a preferred server, or running daily roulettes regularly, so that exp doesn't go to waste.
Anyone know of any other clan recruitment sites/tools outside of CF and r/ffxivrecruitment?
It only goes to waste if not have reached 80
What about this?
Before "completing" and earn the rewards of a msq
Switch to a lesser job you want to level up
You can, but the lesser job has to meet the level requirement of that quest
Are free companies restricted to a particular server or are they data center based?
Server restricted
That's very annoying ๐ฆ
Can not complete if lesser level?
For what data center?
Aether/Siren
If not, they are not so much different from parties (apart from houses)
If the MSQ is a level 70 quest, and you switch to a level 30 character, you will not be allowed to turn it in
I'm really just looking for founding members, then I can use CF
No, unfortunately. The job you complete the quest on must at least meet the level requirement for the quest.
Quest icon will turn red, and when you talk to the NPC, it will display the requirement
Ok thanks (y)
Looking, one moment
Thank you
Then is it so grinding to lvl up from 30 to 50?
Anyone who has switced to a HW job, knows how much farming dungeons is?
roulettes, beast tribes, spam highest lvl dungeon
!faq altlvlguide
Yes, I mean, how much time
depends how long you grind
Also can depend on which HW job since AST and DRK will generally have shorter queue time
Only really reliable other places would be #494379215420915712 here or the Aether DC discord from what I can find https://discord.gg/qyYzHKC
Thanks, didn't know the recruitment channel here was divorced from the sub, I just thought it pushed those posts out
Good luck!
guys, i got my btn at 80 geared up but i dont know how to make money
level your crafters?
weaver at 80 too
all of them
Is paladin the โbestโ tank in game meta wise Iโve read a lot of things that all say differently
Is there really a meta? Best job?
No
all jobs are good
!faq meta
Jobs are the most you like, I think there are no better jobs
(If yes, pvp spamming them then)
Ohhh I see thank you!
Are Astrologians just as good at healing as WHM?
Raw healing numbers? No
Still able to heal everything that needs healing? Yes
What is easier to get? The glowing sky steel tools or the glowing Blessed tools? Currently Iโm about 150 recipes away for blessed in each category
Havenโt started sky steel
If i was kicked from NN for no valid reason could i report the kicker as player harassment?
And what are the possible penalties?
How do you know who kicked?
It says literally in the chat
If you think it was for an unjust reason then yes you can report for harassment.
Someone just kicked me for a non-offensive joke i said about myself and claimed it misinfo and discouraging players from reading guides
Mentors can have the punishment of losing their mentorship
Doesnโt just say โYou have been dismissed from the dungeonโ?
Like is that even a thing?
What was the joke
If i said "I don't need guides even for raids i didn't do since months" would that count as misinfo? ._.
Now focus on the word I
Can the uh, resistance rank icon for bozja be moved? Unless im blind I dont think I see it in HUD layout
Spoke about myself
just report them for harassment and let the GMs deal with it
I can see how that can be construed as saying "and you don't need them either", though
Gonna do it
Then gonna be back and kick the guy in middle of chat when he does one
Gonna let him remember the lesson
Brb gonna look for misinformations i could use as a bait
I mean, you shouldn't try to provoke a harrassment report
When you report someone for spamming RMT websites, ican it be anonymous ?
All reports are anonymous
That's why looking for baits to be valid reason ^__^
So if he reports for harassment, itโs anonymous?
Intentionally baiting someone for a report can just make things worse for you...
Yes, the only one who will know is the GM who responds
Like the UI that shows your mettle? Iโm not sure if itโs in HUD Layout but you definitely can move it around by dragging the top part of it
Responds to the reporter?
And adjusting size by right-clicking the top.
Or the report in general, only GMs have all the logs
responds to the report, not necessarily the reporter
like I think for RMT they just ban the RMT person if they think it's an RMT and they won't reply to the person reporting the RMT person
Im on console. I guess you can just move it around at will with a mouse? And yes I mean the UI that shows your rank and mettle.
Hello! So, I've started farming Bozja for the next relic step and now I have to do castrum for the next step ๐
Is it just another critical engagement that eventually spawns, or should I do something specific to queue for it? Thanks!
It's a large scale instance that's available every now and then inside Bozja
Why is "distance for survey" red? Will I get reduced loot?
@shrewd nimbus turn on virtual mouse with L1+R3, that lets you emulate a mouse with the control stick and L2/R2
Will make dragging stuff around much easier compared to using the touch pad
Where can i see current relic stage stats?
-_-
is it ilvl 520?
525
no info anywhere
lol
Can you glamour the lvl50 Best Gown Ever to Kuranai?
It goes up to 515
515? That's pretty low indeed ๐ฆ
It will only be best in slot at the very tail end of the expansion
Its expected
where is the lv80 gear shop?
If you mean the tomestone gear then in Eulmore.
If you mean the job-specific gear thatโs from Grenoldt in the Tempest
what if i meant the entry gear which you used to get at the armorers eg in kugane and stuff?
there's no lvl 80 vendor gear for combat jobs
lvl 79 gear can be bought in kholusia from Tholl Junkmonger but that's not going to be better than the job specific gear from grenodlt
SHB patch quest story doesnโt give gear
Exarchic gear isn't particularily expensive
!faq gearguide
See 80
The gear is added into the patch quests when the next expansion hits
welp
is there aftercredits in main content ending?
Each leveling story and patch story ends with credits
When the text starts scrolling it's safe to skip
Yeah you wonโt lose out on cutscenes by skipping credits
How do we get the new set of armor?
DR?
Itโs the new bozjan content
Oh the new raid?
Delubrum Reginae
Is it lv 15 require?
No
I think normal mode only needs 10
10 cause you need castrum cleared
People are doing it now
Cause the slackers are doing it
Would anyone be willing to help a blue mage get some spells from Alex content?

what resistance rank i need to enter delubrum?
are we able to do the crystal tower raids and get memories on classes other than the one we accepted Change of Arms on?
yes
You just need to have the quest active
10 for normal 15 to unlock savage
ty. its on duty finder yeah? no need to wait for it to pop like castrum?
Thinking of making an alt character. Any recommendations for eu servers ?
theyre all the same except language
If you speak English you can pick whichever
Gathering question. where should I spend yellow scrips if I'm about to cap them
I'm almost 80
what is a claimed enemy
id guess spend them on the legendary node books
which are what and where do I get them
i havent touched gathering at all until this week
Get the Shadowbringers ones first
Eulmore scrip exchange, something something tokens
You need 4000 scrips total for each book iirc
cool! will do
why do healers hate paladins using clemency ?
i figured theyd like having one less thing to worry about healing for a moment
Because the mana they spend doing healing loses them a lot of damage compared to a healer using their healing
i see
well
good healers hate paladins using clemency
bad healers probably wouldn't know why it's bad
How to start next relic step?
im not at that part yeat im usually a healer main in wel everything so it didnt really make sense to me
got the spell. :D
Whats so bad about clemency? Does it lower amitity?
Its a waste of resources
You're not gaining HP cause rhe mobs live longer and the extra damage counters the heal
It's a bit more complicated than this, but basically, this game's culture revolves around DPSing non-stop, using only oGCDs to do things like heal and mitigate. Using your GCDs to do anything that isn't damage is considered wasteful.
What lost actions should I bring to lacus litore (healer)?
Roatation for gladiator prob gets better when it transforms into paladin and at like 60?
So far its gather mobs spam soaring sky or whatever the aoe was called. Maybe toss a shield lob here and there
should I sell items or extract materia?

if you can extract materia then do it
extracting no longer destroys the item
ty for the answers
Is there an incentive to go beyond r10 besides savage?
how do you trade extra field notes from bozja for more lockboxes? irc tha twas a thing
thanks
what level you have to be to server hop, and can free trial players do it?
I can't find answers anywhere
Access to better lost actions and bigger holster

@delicate forge any level and yes
Anyone can do it at any level
are there any discords specifically for The Battle of Castrum Lacus Litore? the que for it is very small in the instances Ive visited
realized I posted in the wrong channel
Garlean synthetic fabric any special places for it drop?
I'm sure there's a dozen different answers for this depending on people's playstyle, but how far should I push the main story quest with my primary job before going off on a secondary job tangent? Like, is there a particularly sweet spot in terms of content and rewards as to when to slow down a bit or keep pushing forwards?
I'm currently a level 55 Scholar/Summoner so I have access to two roles, and I'm on a level 49 main quest so it looks I'm right near the end of the initial release story before the patch quests that led up to the first expansion.
whenever you feel like it
if you have the full game theres multiple opportunities for you to switch
red mage/samurai start at lvl 50
dancer/gunbreaker start at 60
@remote lintel ty!
No specific milestones or access to particular quest content or locations that might be worth aiming for?
Which NA world's best for getting into hardcore raiding as a returning player
aether or primal
I would say the level 20 MSQ is a milestone purely because it's very convenient to have access to a mount asap
also level 30 for the combat chocobo
Beyond that, nothing really comes to mind
Evening, can you not have different hotbars for the same class? Like I want a hotbar each for BLU tank/heal/dps/. I would have assumed, it would work through different gearsets.
Right, so I was wondering if I should push further on the main story quest to any specific point. I'd feel really silly stopping at like the first level 50 quest if the next level 50 quest opened a brand new zone type deal.
does world matter as much?
no
What are the differences between housing vendors? Like what does junkmonger, mender etc sell?
@mystic forge like i said, some classes start at lvl 50 so you can just switch and still do the story
and zones dont really matter
There's also some content that unlocks pretty late (in the level 60 MSQ) that makes leveling up a crafter/gatherer class faster and easier, but it doesn't apply to combat classes
Great, thank you so much! I didn't realise those classes started higher, I thought they just unlocked then but would require leveling up from 1.
ARR jobs start at lvl 1
That's also good to know about level 60 for the non combat classes. Thank you folks!
I already checked the site but it doesn't say what they sell
click the npc you want to look at
junkmongers basically sell similar items to guild vendors (i.e low level crafting materials and dark matter), menders repair your gear, salvagers are just like the calamity salvager in any of the 3 starting cities (sell quest specific rewards, etc), materia melder can meld your gear (visible slots only), steward sells furnishings that are on most of the npc housing district vendors
any idea when i can create new characters on gilgamesh?
wait for off hours
@twilit arch ty so much and sorry @remote lintel, I clicked the wrong one
so like the AM?
ye
early morning hours are your best bet
especially since a patch just dropped today
so everyone is playing
also just to note that the differences between like mender a-2/3 is their appearance https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/288965-Housing-NPC-Images if you wanna see what all they look liked @dusk prism
yeah I saw that, ty very much !
is this for real? am about to get my first Zodiac weapon and this bomb just dropped
It's a joke
Even if you say no to the dialogue box, it goes ahead anyway. There's no chance of losing it.
fully intended to give you a heart attack
that is just fucking mean
i remember hearing people say they thought the grinding for the new relics was to easy and after going through all this even before seeing that i thought people where nuts
yeah devs were pretty mean with that quest, since they knew people were pretty unhappy with materia melding stage :d
Help theres a character i didnt create listed on my account
Dc Lontop on moogle server
but i only have Sawako Kuronuma (my main) Yutika Tsuki, Minsuh Tsuki on twintania and Lance Tsukasa on Odin
i never created Dc Lontop and its name isnt lighting up blue like the others
does the MNK zodiac weapon share its model with some other weapon?
@onyx kiln no, relic weapons are unique
well....
depends on which stage we're talking about
not talking about ultimate weapons
Can I get the memories for the latest relic step on any job or do I have to do it on the job I accepted the quest on?
nightsteel/black willow crafted weapons (lvl70) share models with the zodiac brave stage (aka the 2nd to last step) they just have no glow/different colour scheme
I was not aware of that
Since I am not sure which Zodiac you are thinking about, @onyx kiln ,you can look up the weapon on Garlandtools (website)
And check it's Shared Model subsection
looking at the quest dialogue it looks like you need to be the job you accepted the quest @fervent vale
its just that stage that shares model with a non-ultimate weapon
that's what the very first step said and yet I can get the memories on any job
I have yet to get any memories from CEs so far but apparently that's not a guaranteed drop so I am not sure whether it's bad luck
no
Is there a website with predefined character appearance we can just copy ? I kinda suck at this
or just go with the default
it's possible to copy someones character appearance but you would need the .dat file
a random person gave me 2m gil after friending me out of nowhere. im worried about SE thinking i paid for it. what do i do?
I was thinking something like "select type 4 Jaw, type 3 eyes shape, etc" but yeah I'll just try to copy something on eorzea collection haha
so can you only do delubrum reginae once a week?
fairly certain you can run it multiple times, its just there's a weekly quest attached to it
fate drops for the i51x relics are 100% right?
ohh so weekly for the mettle bonus?
@native pollen theres no way SE will think you paid for it
2 million Gil is next to nothing
new emote is bozja clusters
yikes
Where do we spend the silver coins again?
Gangos
bozja is .... rough. I cant work up the motivation to go back in right now

i just did some researhc and it turns out my account got hacked so square enix suspended it. im just really mad that i didnt get an email or anything explaining how or why this happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR7bhxVDvJU&ab_channel=Lucron i got a similar whisper as you see 45 secs into this video from a person i didnt know, its the second time this happened and i clicked on the name to see if i could block them somehow cuz it was getting annoying but it said i lost connection to the server. i tried restarting ffxiv and it said error 2002 cant connect to the server, then i restarted my pc and it said that the account doesnt exist or something along those lines so i got really scared and imidietly went into mogstation and it said my account was suspended.
