its making me cringe too hard i want out
post-ARR will last a long time
damn
so the 5x3 looked like it would yield more but asking on the general diffrerence
Is there a Blu Mage Discord to help find parties for Spelling and other Blu stuff?
Party Finder has never failed me the last 2 days
Ok so just use Party Finder?...
you'd be surprised by how quickly the party fills up + willing to do more things
For the most part, my bro and I were able to do a lot by ourselves... we have all the level 60 spells except the Burden of the Son and some of the level 70 spells but the reat we might need 1 or more members
chance is you'll run for something someone in the party doesn't havealready
i guess the 4x4 is easier for beginners to figure out
i wonder how much time ive spent loading in and out of minfilias solar, if not for this i think she coulda been a cool character
it doesn't look like it's any better than the 5x3 either
i've only ever done 5x3 so i wouldn't know
Cool, thank you @pearl perch
do i have to do ALL of the post-ARR msq to move on? i got a notification awhile ago when i hit 52 that i had some quest available but someone said i needed to be in heavensward
yes.
also the Crystal Tower quests
if it helps you out, 3.0 builds a bit on what happens in post 2.0
and the post-2.0 quests start to get better (in the opinions of many) the closer you get to 3.0
Oh, I was checking that but it shows 0, could I miss any prereq quests?
right now the 2.0 is just a button mash simulator as far as story goes for me, way too many cutscenes and way too much zoning in and out of minfilias room :'[
i just want to play
cutscenes and zoning in and out of places to talk to people are going to be a thing throughout the course of the game. If that doesn't appeal to you, then perhaps this is not the game for you tbh
well i made it to level 53 so far and while i knew that was a common thing already up to this point, i
im not too bothered by the loading in and out except for minfilia
minfilia will...well you'll see
if it helps, the game is self-aware of this issue 😛
i held out hope because everyone said it gets better after the leveling MSQs but i didn't think they meant that the cutscenes become super abundant without any voiceacting
^ HW is a significant step up in the quality of both the story and the storytelling
or the fight's going to be over before rook/queen is done

reeeee minfilia ||departed vesper bay and went to the Rising Stones so i got excited but she still requires you to go through 2 load screens to see her... no spoilers please but personally i think she is a villain and must be felled||
Need people for Alexander Soul of the creator Savage for glammour Farm, anybody got time? Light Datacenter
Seeing that BLU has their cap increased to 70, and not all of them have done Alexander savage for their BLU, maybe you can make a BLU party for it?
This might get your party filled faster than recruiting standard Jobs
Just a suggestion, I do not know how it will work out for you
Best way to farm Loathsome memory of dying
I heard Labyrinth
But I did 2 runs and got none
Am I doing something wrong
can someone explain me little bit what "leavequest" is
is it just the game will auto do the quest for you? u just sit and wait?
If you level summoner you level the healer class at the same time?
yes
so whats the diff. between leavequest and fate ......
Leves are basically mini duties that are repeatable...they're essentially the repeatable quests in the game
Shit for combats, great for crafters/gatherers
also Grand Company leves are ok if you need company seals but haven't unlocked Expert Delivery yet
Hello anyone knows an easy collectable crafting recipe to farm yellow scraps? I'm leaving up all crafting classes now and I want to get their tools
What does the number 6 on the top left corner of the item related lost actions icons mean?
Its weight
whatever lvl 78 recipe has the cheapest materials for you to buy/gather @lavish prism
Each action has a weight which counts towards your Holster limjt
And you have a weight limit of what you can carry to the raid?
I see, thanks
It caps at 70, upgradeable to 80 via the fibers
And I I take an essence, it lasts the entire raid even if I die?
Nice, thanks
No
The hp increase ones
Ohh yeah right my bad it disappeared cause I left and entered another instance
you can't buy any 515 weapons right?
right ok i thought i saw something else about it
how can I start doing stuff at bozja?
i am in the instance
but i can't do anything
:(
i have none :o
Should be one in the base camp to pick up
no blue quests on bozja southern front
i talked with someone once
it was blue quest
that's it
Then you have it accepted, zoom in on your map
yeah that's what im doing. map opened but no quests .
The blue quests guide you around and gets you to talk to people
Check your journal as well
"where eagles nest" quest has to do anything with it?
Yes, thats the quest to get you in
Yes.
do I need to join a party?
You don't have to, but it helps.

after i did a one of those fights ive read i have to go collect a reward from someone or am I wrong?
You'll get rewards at the end automatically, just like fates
Some of which can be spent/traded at the camp
is there any point to doing non ShB beast tribe quests if i have all jobs (sans BLU) to 80?
if you want the rewards you can get from them
like is there a way to get lower rank materia from SB beast quests?
like mounts, minions, orchestrion rolls
hmm yea i suppose that counts too
Story as well, if you care about it
and yes i think you can get lower ranked materia from them too
awesome
Im new to the game. How do I unlock Gangos ( I have doman enclave unlocked) But no airship unlocked
What questline do I need to do
did you do the stormblood 24 man raids @leaden ginkgo
The royal city of rabanastre?
that's the first one, yeah
I havent done it but its in my duty finder
all 3 of them
Nope 😄
do them
so you need to continue that questline then before you can unlock gangos
ty
once you do the raid you should able to pick up "Uninvited"
can anyone point me in the right direction of house decorators am looking to hire someone on the crystal couerl server ;w;
final quest for the raid series is "The City of Lost Angels" then "Hail to the Queen" will be available in kugane to start the shb relic
tyty
how many loathsome memories of dying can you get from a raid?
1 memory per raid
do you know what the chance of getting them is in bozja
piss poor
i spent 6 hours in bozja yesterday and got 3 from over 20 CEs
so whats the quickest crystal tower raid lol
uhh whats skill visual effects under in settings?
how does one get gold rewards from ixion?
Like any fate, get enough contribution...aka do damage...join parties as it helps
Are there any fates like ixion and odin in shadowbringers?
My friend plays on Cactuar but I can't create a character on it, if I wait till a less busy day/time will it be possible or is congested just a permanent thing?
!status Cactuar
Do they also give mount rewards?
Working on the Moogle Delivery quest and the the quest giver is no longer here after doing the last quest. Does he show up at certain times of day?
Nope
He should always be there
No wait, you mean moogle beast tribe dailies or the moogle mail quests?
If it’s the latter you might be missing some small sidequests to go further in the chain
moogle mail I did everything right before Death of Mailman which is what i'm trying to get
Garland tools is being annoying at showing the quest chain. Can you take a picture of the completed quests in your journal? They’re in the Side Story section.
I figure it out. I guess there was some other side quest that needed to be done before they he showed back up. Lodestone didn't say but found an old reddit post saying had to do some quest from a different npc
is the memory drop from debureum reginae or whatever 100%?
Is there a general guide on how to best use each status on expert crafts? I've read the word doc and that goes through the opener and explains the process but I feel I need a bit more guidance for the skysteel tool final step
Reading between the lines, waste not 2 is a trap and I try and aim for 2 byregots per craft?
Does the transmog in this game let me have a plate piece that looks like cloth
called glamour, and yes
Thanks
Gear doesn't have plate, cloth, mail, leather classifications like in wow. Instead restrictions come from level, job, and gender for some.
So did they nerf the blue mage power leveling? I'm helping someone level blue mage and they're not getting experience after I one shot when they start the fight
you in a party with them?
yeah
can't do that, gotta be outside a party to get xp
ah, that did it, thanks!
np
@forest lark for what level
70
5.4 Buffs: Jolt II, Enchanted Riposte, Verfire, and Verstone all increased by 10 potency.
New? Got too many skills? Have no idea what anything does because you start at 50? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Red Mages how to Red Mage properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and...
Thx I'll check it out, it's about time I got rdm to 80 xd
what's the best way to get the loathsome memories? and if its crystal tower which one
Anyone know anyone in the FC K Project??
Are any of the 24 man Crystal Tower raids mandatory for MSQs?
I just got to where I'm introduced to them
Yes, the quest line is required to progress the MSQ
the idea of jumping into one intimidates me lol Been playing less than two weeks
They are a faceroll, like the MSQ roulette
you dont even need to know the mechanics because people will just kill bosses in like a minute
so I shouldn't be too worried about being a new player learning tank?
Just dont provoke the boss
There will be 2 other tanks. One will most likely take charge. Sometimes will you have to split up but someone usually throws down ABC markers for those.
does CLL give job exp?
CLL?
castrum
i dont think ive gotten exp from it
I wonder how long world transfers take.
a few minutes from what ive heard
Ah alright

Decided to join my friend on aether since my primal friends stopped playing.
do 24 man raids give good EXP?
no
raids by themselves dont give good exp because theyre level cap duties
Ah, okay
same goes for other level cap duties
Will completing one unlock the roulette or do I need to do all three?
you need at least 2 unlocked
Idk i forget
Where should I farm Oddly Delicate Raw Jade for my pickaxe?
is there any orchestiron rolls for DR or nah
because i love that last boss theme
ah nvrm i found it
ah ok another question then
the standard boss theme for all the other bosses in DR
is there a roll for that?
uhh might be one of the other two orchestrions from DR, not sure
hm i guess i gotta find it then. ty!
better to ask #technology-discussion although they dont speak japanese
From what I'v been told its something like "your trial is over "but I renewed my subb
Translation tells me it's a generic "an error has occured" message
bojza is lv71-80 or 70-80?
71
is the level fixed like in Eureka?
update: i found it and its exists ~
how fast it is compared to spamming dungeon runs for leveling alts
in my experience (ignoring queue times) not as quick but decently close
has the benefit of killing two birds with one stone so that's also the upside to it
mhm you're right 🤔
is it not possible to obtain eastern cherry tree anymore?
you'll have to buy them from the mogstation
oo okay i didnt know thank you !
they were an old event reward, so those all go onto the mogstation a year after the event (when the event comes around again basically)
Is there a site where I can look at weapon/armour models for glamour purposes?
https://www.ffxivcollection.com/ or you can use gamerescape's image galleries
Thank you.
ffxiv collection only has armour by the by
is there a discord for people who are buying/selling ffxiv items? using gil
like a marketboard discord
deleted some fodler and its running now
do i need to be level 80 before entering dr?
i think so
Hey! Anyone wanna help me (EXCAL DRK 48) Run arum vale?
Anyone know why Marsuk might not be spawning in Gangos? I can't pick up the quest for the new 24 man.
did you do the rest of the questline
Can i transfer my free trail from ps4 to pc?
no
:'(

Why suddenly in a duty in a msq I could not cast a spell? F3, I am overleveled, can only use it outside solo duties?
if you're higher than the solo duty, you will be sync'd down
Or even can not use it in multi instances?
and if you're sync'd down below the lvl of the spell then you can't use said spell
barding on your chocobo? glamour basically
Is the Proto-Ultima accessories (ring in this case) significantly worse than the Shire ones?
They’re the same item level so roughly equal
Just depends on what secondary stats you like
does Skill Speed matter for a MCH?
Not really
substats dont really matter when leveling anyway
is it a bad idea for BLM to build spell speed? 😮
They like absurd amounts of it
Most of it because they don’t really weave in damage oGCDs
And being faster lets them do better openers
what about red mage?
no rdm has dualcast
so traditional Critical Hit/Direct Hit build?
the meld priority is crit > dh > det yes
Does it worth it doing GC missions for purchasing something in the store?
New mounts for example?
Only one, the msq mount one then
Ok promotions at least
Also some mats and stuff
at sergeant second class you can just turn in gear for seals
Exchange not usable gear for seals, great
It seems GC store is better than buy on a normal shop
I just use the gils for teletransport
GC store sells some mats you can't get anywhere else unless its on the MB
And materials are for strengthen the gear? Lol I never use or search materials
some quests (usually relics) need 'em
Ok, but if you change that strenghtened gear, was it worth it for selling it?
Relics at this point (dunno about the newest one) are for glamours
because they're shiny
I mean regarding gear:
Extract materia
Or
Materials
So, either way you strengh that gear, if you dont use it in a future, just for selling it?
you don't strengthen gear?
No, because I change gear whenever is better other gear
Yes
Then why bother?
strengthening gear isnt a thing
You get gear so you're strong enough to get better gear, and sell it for cash
or trade it for seals
You sell the lesser one
But the lesser one, not the better one
the mats from the gc headquarters are only if you craft or do the relic weapon
^^
is there a way to preview bardings?
(tbh i just google search the bardings)
Apart from ascension and mats, what is best to invest the seals? Weapons?
@manic flare no
u talking about GC seals?
glamour prisms, glamour dispellers, cordials
venture tokens
I suggest keep some prism, dispellers and cordinals for your own use too :3
@worthy rain
!market light borax
Ok thanks 👍
Sell GC stuff in the public market for gils you mean
Dont want to be annoying, but as I do not buy anything with gils, what for?
buy stuff for gil on MB
buy 500 pets
Ok thanks for the information 👍
It would be like this:
MB > GC > normal shop in the map
GC stuff to sell in MB, then those gils spent in MB
And then repeat hahaha
basically
Hey so I've never exchanged scrips in Crystarium, where in the nine hells is the NPC? Nvm. The quest is ridiculously located in Eulmore. o/

Talking about what to buy, where are mounts to buy? Are they all the same speed?
How do you beat the Refurbisher in Alexander: Eyes of the Creator?
mount speed is based on zone
Yes I know, msq increases it, but are all mounts the same speed based? No differences?
All mounts are the same except for how they look
yes theyre the same speed
and some can carry multiple people but they're special
except the motorcycle on mog station comes with the first speed upgrade
How do you beat the Refurbisher in Alexander: Eyes of the Creator?
with a team of 7 players?
I assume based on your previous questions and ideas that you're trying to solo it or something
the quest "Let me Holster that for you" when you finish that, how many extra holster slots does it give you?
no, full party
What are Bozjan Field Note?
so it's just to collect them?
i think this is our 5th run
ah thanks 😄
would the moogle cap for the event work in viera?
For Alexander: Eyes of the Creator, what's the mechanics for Faust?
we keep wiping when he shows up
There are probably some youtube guides that'll be a lot more reliable than us
yes
on whm how glare and dia interact with each other do they increase the dot tick-rate or something else
oh ok
Im curious as to the reasoning why you thought glare increased the dot tick rate
cause I saw the dmg go a bit faster lol
the dot and glare probably hit at the same time
still learning each job so I'm dumb dumb
What Cerb said
thanks
Quick question, what are the rewards for Delubrum savage?
like 20 silver coins and an rng item from the last boss chest
can be new hair, new gabriel mount, upgrade box, etc
OH
Where is "Hail to the queen" I just finished the 3rd raid in the questline and finished it all up
thank you
i thought you said normal
Is it in kugane?
oh, that's for normal?
yeah
i dont think people know the rewards for DR savage yet because they havent beat it?
I didn't get an RNG item at the end of normal, lame, lol
@leaden ginkgo kugane from the same guy who gave you the ivalice quests
Didn't MrHappy stream it all day? I figured that meant he was grinding it, not trying to clear it
last i heard they still havent cleared it
Alright everyone, SE decided that I've played too long to be considered a Novice, but I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm 80 and almost caught up.
So I have no one to ask questions of, or chat with in game.
ask here
But would love to start gearing up so I can do Savage content.
Not sure how to go about finding an FC or a group for it.
people dont usually do raids with their FCs
the recruitment channel has static recruitment posts
is it possible to clear the lv60 blue mage carnival quest with the lvl 50 (i130) gear, or do you pretty much need shire gear to get through it
@orchid ibex also are you geared and know your rotation
I believe so. I haven't installed ACT. But everyone I've asked in groups have said "You're really good" but I'm just doing my assumed rotation.
I'm not fully geared. Still doing the story.
I bought some 510 gear from the MB, but didnt buy all of it as I wasnt sure if it was worth it.
I'm 3/4 through 5.4
!faq gearguide
this has all the rotations/bis/guides
Yeah, That's how I found the gear to buy
you need at least 510 to do all the eden savage raids
right, which is available from MB
I had 1.5m gil from leveling, but I felt like I'd miss out on a lot of the game if I just bought my way to 510
so I've been farming the rotations and such
is it against the ToS to buy dye from the mogstation and then sell it on the MB for gil?
its untradeable
Is PotD efficient for leveling? I've heard that it is, but from what ive read, you start at level 1, is there an xp bonus or is it just worth the grind to get up to your current level to get xp?
its good if youre a dps with long queues
it gives a set amoutn of exp for each set of floors you clear
the pure white and jet black can be sold on the MB
for around 100k gil
which u can buy from mogstation
okay, I was doing exactly the rotation according to The Balance 😂
ah gotcha
Hey all, REALLY stupid question.... but
I'm looking at low level "collectible" Crafting guides/macro's to help build my yellow scripts
anyways my question is, everyone talks about "crafting rotations", is that just a way of saying a macro that works for all crafters? i understand the concept of using a macro, just never implemented it since im not too sure on what skills i want to use
crafting rotation is a rotation for crafters
all crafters basically have the same skills
so I.E -> Leather -> Weaver -> Arm = HQ finished product
oops. misread what you said lol
it's stuff like basic touch, basic synthesis, byregot's blessing, inner quiet, etc
basically to make HQ items, u want to start with inner quiet most of the time
you can use teamcraft to help you make a macro according to your craftsmanship/control/etc
Muscle Memory can be better depending on your stats and the item
use muscle memory if u can't finish the craft in one go
ah i was just about to comment on that. you are too quick
How do you get Amber Vilekin again? From chests in Foundation Levequests?
yes
A tip for those is to look for the level 58 levequest "Dance, Magic, Dance"
And then abandon and reactivate the leve
and then do what Wynne is suggesting
i usually use
inner quiet + WN 2 -> basic -> standard -> etc .. (precise/tricks depending) on where my dura is at & cp remaining then usually basic touch @ 20 to see how close i get to finishing
to farm them. warning. it tears through your leves very quickly
so if you had another use for them well... 
don't we have a 100 of them/week?
you want to use innovation and great strides
to make your item HQ
another quick question does food & those manuals stack?
ill look at what those do again lol, im just used to auto synth haha
also use byregot's blessing at the end, since it's more effective with more stacks of inner quiet you have
yea i pretty much base my HQ around that forgot to add

ah...well since i finished my ARR Relic that needed Leves not like i'vem uch else to use them for
thanks for the advice!!
also if you aren't mass crafting items, it's better not to use macros. since macros dont take into account of the procs you can get
which is important to make HQ items
for example, sometimes having a precise touch available is the difference between victory and defeat
yea was just looking into it for low level 50 - 56 collectibles lol
are you acheivement hunting or leveling?
cause if you're leveling. theres an ishgard restoration guide out on the web thats easy enough to find
which has macros already available and tells you how to get your crafter to 80 through Ishgard easily
its pinned down in #doh-dol-lounge
theres one in #doh-dol-lounge
ah thats probably the one Im referring too. excellent
im just using it for getting scripts (yellow/blue) do get rowenas stuff haha
and why do you want the scrips?
have you unlocked custom deliveries?
they are a great way of getting scrips
especially for crafter
i did last night before log off so haven't looked much into it
to get masterwork books and DOH/DOL gear
basically custom deliveries has you craft items with all the crafting mats that are easily sold by nearby npcs (and they are very cheap to buy). you get a ton of crafter exp and scrips from them
awesome!! ill look into that rn! thank you all so much for the help and advice!
did they change the spawn conditions for the chest in Dance, Magic Dance
cause either i'm blind of the chest hasn't spawned
chests are a chance to spawn
its not 100%
You’ve made many friends in Eorzea through your feats as a battleworn adventurer, but some of these same allies are in need of your craftier talents as well. If you’re a Disciple of the Hand or Land, you can take on several side stories which have you delivering goods to your clients in return for […]
so if you don't see a chest in the leve circle, just quit and retry
this gives u all the quests you need to do to unlock each custom delivery person
they are very quick to unlock
i assume this bit about gatherers is outdated?
where do you get the gatherer's glove
its given as part of the collectables unlock
is there a way to get it again
no
if u accidentally got rid of it
where, how, and why is there a tank mount
do you mean the tank role mounts for each tank jobs, or the tank vehicle
if you mean the mount that is a tank, its from the lvl 80 crafting beast tribe
this one thx
Need to get to max max rank in order to buy one with frogments
50, 60, and 70 dungeons give poetics on first time completion
as for why HW dungeons, I don't know
buy it on steam
and make a new account
slower lb generation
I leveled to the mid-20s as a fighter or smth but now I wanna play white mage. What’s the fastest way to get caught back up to the MSQ as a new job?
hunt log, challenge log, fates, highest lvl dungeon

quick question. is ARR final mission ||The Ultimate Weapon|| ? and do I need to finish the patch missions?
or are they optional
How do I get into a dungeon?
Ah everything’s locked in there but guildhests
Patch
are the epilogues of ARR
Hunt log it is
Then you will transition into the prologue for Heavensward
so is it required to progress to heavensworth?
So, no skip, you have to do them
thats the game yes
My recommendation is go and grab the Crystal Tower alliance raid quest line from Mor Dhona, go at that until you can queue for the first raid
Then go back and do more
while you wait for queue
slower lb generation
Completion of the Crystal Tower quest line is required for MSQ anyway you might as well get it going early
and for some dps classes, buff overlap
Is there a percentage value to how much slower the LB bar generates?
can DRG jumps and leaps actually avoid AOEs?
your character just has to not be in the aoe circle at the time the enemy skill is cast
so if you are standing in an aoe while boss is casting, and then cast a jump, and then you are outside of the aoe when skill casts
then yes youve used a jump to avoid the aoe o.o
what about Spineshatter? if im in the air does that count?
no
the aoe circle is not only for people touching the ground
its like an entire vertical column
i know a dude who thought that he could dodge aoe's just by jumping at the right time
like the regular jump everyone has
cause he thought it just meant the literal floor was being damaged
but alas thats not the case
also I learned the hard way that jump/high jump does not dodge aoes
alright, this is more just cause im curious but is there like a Quarterstaff glamour for the DRG? cause i'd love to have that as an asthetic im working on
for the most part the game doesn't care about jump states, you're always considered "on the ground" for AoEs
@cloud palm no
yeah like a polearm. there isn;t? lame
whatss the command to show glams in this channel
!iglam Eastern Journey Battle Staff
theres this
that can't be obtained anymore iirc
hmm
!iglam Tsukuyomi's Moonlit Chokuto
Isn't that stick from a set off the Mogstation
it says preorder bonus on gamerescape and nothing about mog station so
ive never thought about it before but now im kind of surprised
that there arent more pole-arm like weapons as glams
like if monk can have tonfas why can't drgs have polearms :<
polearm is a broad term
:>
Does anyone know how far you need to go in PotD to get the Timeworn Artifacts?
Hello this may be a stupid question but can you still do tradecraft if you're on a Free Trial?
yes you can craft and gather @static violet
youll be capped at 60 like with combat classes

Does Duty Roulette: Leveling include lvl 50/60/70/80 dungeons or are those exclusively in their own Roulettes?
there is a 50/60/70 roulette
and a separate one for 80
and a separate one for the most recent lvl 80 ones
I achieved rank 40 with my chocobo. Its my first so is pedigree 1. His father and mother both have all stats with 2 stars. What would be the next step?
I thought my first chocobo would have at least 2 stats maxed from father and mother
Yeah, but does that mean those dungeons are not in the pool of Leveling?
yes, separate roulettes are separate pools
leveling is specifically non level cap dungeons
Alright thanks. I was asking 'cause some trials are in Leveling but now that you mention it I just realized the only trials in leveling are the story (non-hard) ones while the ones in the DR Trials are Hard at minimum.
yeah the normal ARR trials are in leveling for whatever reason
@remote lintel Thank you for responding!
yes
So fairly newish whm main here, I've been playing for about an month now and I'm kind self conscious of how much dps I'm doing since I want to contribute as much dp as possible w/o dropping the tank. Is there any way to check my dmg out put in the game?
I've just been kinda coasting with panic buttons rn.
yes
Are you on PC or PS4?
what "panic buttons"
Ps4
there's no way to check your dps output yourself
none of your healing skills are "panic buttons"
you should be prioritizing ogcd heals over gcd heals
Then there wouldn't be directly, but no. you can kinda with something called Stone Sky Sea or else a PC player would just have to parse for you while playing with them
Ah ok thanks @carmine goblet
I’m looking through a video showcasing GNB weapons and notice that some of them come from dungeons, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a weapon drop in a dungeon before, am I cray?
Yes
They can drop from dungeons
Like every job has a dungeon weapon?
Yes. What dungeon are you at?
Ah yeah I get you, I already try to do that
I’m not doing anything specifically but I have done 500 dungeons in my short time playing and don’t ever remember seeing a weapon drop from any of them
yes they do
old dungeons dont drop weapons for gnb fwiw
Says the level 60+ ones do drop GNB stuff
Could someone tell me where did ||Gaia ||first shows up before 5.2? I'm at where pick up the quest showing ||Trancred carries two luggage for her||. Before this quest, I have no recollection who ||she was or where she came from, she said he has no memories in the past.||
she first appeared after e2
the normal e2?
If it helps, weapons usually drop from the last chest before the final boss or after the dungeon is cleared
||ye, you fight her. Then she was unconscious||
spoiler
Thanks, I was just curious is all because I really cannot remember seeing a weapon drop from a dungeon ever
Mind blown

your resolution might be off?
they're still gigantic
o
that UI scale thing
didn't realize it resized the lements, thought it just added more pixels in the same area
thx XD
yeah so running 2560x1440 but UI scale at 100% looks good ty
its annoying that ui size doesn't scale the chat log buttons though fr
how do i get to the void? im in the empty but theres no person to teleport me?
the 300% definitely adds more pixels + default UI size at 60% looks sharper but then it doesn't fix the chat log buttons wtf
oh well, SE gonna SE
@leaden ginkgo theres a teleporter
in the empty or?
yes in the empty
to go ||inside eden||?
its an aetheryte
why are people paying upwards of 50m on marketboard for starlight barding when it's 5$ on mogstation
@leaden ginkgo did you check your completed quests
ya

finished ||where i belong||
but talked to guy and he didnt unlock them
damnit
you talked to lewrey in mord souq?
ya

I completed a main quest and it says my mount speed has increased, is there a place to see what speed level my mount has or something? I thought the speed was always the same.
anyone know or do I just give up
Hi, is it normal for a RDM to take a lot of Enmity? I had a strange dungeon run where I really struggled to hold aggro even though I had tank stance and did my full aoe rotations. As soon I hit the first pack started to run for the second I lost enmity to our RDM.
what tank job? (I'm thinking warrior cone didn't hit everything i the first pack)
usually dps getting special attention shouldn't happen with shb tank stance unless they are focus firing on one mob
ive never seen it be a problem
you didnt forget tank stance?
if you're hitting all the mobs and don't have gear that makes you hit like a wet noodle
then that near cannot happen
ya
its normal that youll lose enmity when pulling, bc ranged dps are hitting the mobs as you are running. its their job to bring the mobs to you. if you cant hold aggro AFTER that then idk
they said stance was on (which got me thinking wasn't connecting the aoe to the moops for some reason)
i dunno rdm that much, but like a tri cast huge aoe on mobs pulling them off maybe?
nah
id assume tank gets them back easily tho
it can take threat if they've just shield lob > aoe'd
but not if they've done a full aoe rotation
if it was around a lvl50/60 dungeon it can happen with rdm they do a lot burst dmg for these levels in comparison with other jobs
Can you glam the crafter locked glam on the aesthete gear?
yes although it'll revert to aesthete gear appearance outside the job the glam is locked to
lame
Hi yup tank stance was on it. It was lvl 50/60 dungeon roulette. I was GNB so I was doing D-Slice to D-Slaughter. Once i had aggro, and went to run to the second mob I would lose aggro on the first mob causing me to have to run back to reget aggro. Im not sure if there's something I should be doing to help this? 😦
I achieved rank 40 with my chocobo. Its my first so is pedigree 1. His father and mother both have all stats with 2 stars. What would be the next step?
I thought my first chocobo would have at least 2 stats maxed from father and mother.
Is there a good guide for breeding? I searched but all I find says that the first one should have 2 maxed stats for father and mother and I am a little confused.
@short prairie were you spamming aoe multiple times on the enemies
I would normally just use aoe 1 + aoe 2 then run to the second mob. Not sure if thats what I should be doing as GNB?
Sorry I meant aoe on 2+ targets
are you spamming aoe
Yup as long as there's more 2+ I spam my aoe combo

Hey all, I'm a newish player and a bit confused. I got my 500 ilvl weapon (the 2nd upgrade), where and how do I get my new upgrade? I heard that I need to get resistance rank 10? Not sure what to do after that
do castrum and delubrum
Are those instances?
Gotcha. I'm guessing I'll unlock them with higher rank? I"m only rank 7 almost 8
yes
Rank 10 will unlock Castrum Lacus
You do them at rank 10
and delubrum
Sweet
except almost no one queues for castrum anymore so https://discord.gg/8kEdfyde
people organize runs there
Castrum isn't quite as hard to get into as it was a week ago
It doesn't hurt to have the discord as a backup plan though
When people use the term "alt" do they mean a completely different character or just the jobs they don't particularly use/main
Makes sense. Unrelated question, if I'm just playing with friends is Neo-Ish decent enough to do savage raids and extreme trials? Probably won't be touching Ultimate though.
No.
You’ll want at the bare minimum Augmented Crystarium or Exarchic.
Crystarium being enough for Emerald and E9S/E10S, and Exarchic being good enough for the whole tier

Didn't even know about Crystarium. Alright, good to know, thanks.
Will Exarchic be the last crafted set before the new expac or will there be more added in 5.5. Is there even a 5.5 I'm not up to date with the MSQ yet (just finished ShB last night).
Hey all, I have a question about trading between alts. I played 2 years ago on PC and got to about level 50 or so.
Now I bought the game on Playstation and I want to start a new character. Can you tell me if these are my options to trade between my old character and my potential new character?:
option 1: create a new service account for the new character and trade directly between both characters. CON: have to pay for 2 subs
option 2: use the same service account and create a FC in which I can use the chest for trading between characters.
Is that correct and are those the only ways to trade with oneself?
you can also just get a friend to help you transfer items
I don't know anyone in this game
But for the most part the MSQ gives you everything you'll need even on new characters
Most unique items are trade locked anyways
I achieved rank 40 with my chocobo. Its my first so is pedigree 1. His father and mother both have all stats with 2 stars. What would be the next step?
I thought my first chocobo would have at least 2 stats maxed from father and mother.
Is there a good guide for breeding? I searched but all I find says that the first one should have 2 maxed stats for father and mother and I am a little confused.
I am following this guide:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/6etbvz/chocobo_breeding_guide/
So as it says, my chocobo that is male has his father and mother both all stats with 2 stars. So the child will always have a father with 2 stars. So how could I increase those 2 stars?
@graceful vault you should aim to get 4 stars in every catagory, and you can't really change stars outside of breeding
Once the stars are set they're set
If you want more stars you'll have to start breed looping and spin the RNG hoping you get 4 stars in every catagory
The only thing that matters with chocobo breeding are the star values because the offspring will be rolling a 50/50 chance of getting those stars as their stat weights
Ok, my main reason for that would have been for the gil. But another question:
I had the collectors edition for ARR, Heavensward and Stormblood on PC.
Now on Playstation I bought the Complete edition (incl. Shadowbringers), but without collectors edition items.
If I use the same service account, how will that work exactly?
it's the same service account so you'll be getting collectors edition items on the new character
As collectors is registered to your service account
You don't need to rebuy collectors for every platform thankfully
Yeah, Collector's edition doesn't care which platform you got it on. You get the items on every new character regardless
But the Shadowbringers content would only be available to the PS version of the game? Or to the PC version too? How do they restrict that if it's the same service account?
Oh, you'll have to buy a version of starter for PSN
Since you don't own the base game
he got the Complete
but since you do
it just means if you're in Shadowbringers zones you can't sign in on PC
since the content is literally not downloaded to your PC client
I undestand. But if my male chocobo has his own parents with all 2 stars. It doesnt matter if the female has everything with 4 stars. The father will always have 2 stars in every stat.
You should still be able to access the jobs though but this issue is oddly specific so most of us don't know the exact restrictions
@graceful vault yes, that's correct. The offspring will have a 50/50 chance of getting 4 stars or 2 stars per stat
ok, thanks!
what are the random letters floating around in the Cloud of Darkness fight and why do they spell Dicbag lol
player markers
The markers are actually d 1 c b a 4
shhhh
Ok, I'm gonna use the same service account in that case. One last question though: Can I trade gil with my second character through the FC chest or/and is selling through the marketplace (or whatever it was called in ffxiv) the only way to trade gil between my characters?
yes and yes
There's no inter character trade thing
As everything is character based in this game
you would need to get another person to invite your character to the fc
Ok thanks everyone, especially @slate arrow !👍
in HW's MSQ, what difference does picking over the wall or onwards and upwards over the other? I checked on gamerescape and both leads to a long chain quest different to each other
This is the start of heavensward yeah?
You have to do both chains
Doesn't really matter which is first
Theyll converge back into 1 chain after
ahhh I see. thank you!
so what server is really populated rn and joinable?
yes
there's no really "unpopulated" servers unless you mean which one is peak time currently in which case I think it's the JP data center currently
How could I know what chocobo Grade I have to buy for my retired chocobo? If my retired chocobo is Grade 1, should I buy Grade 1?
Or higher grades have more stars or something ?
You'll buy the same grade chocobo as the retired chocobo
The offspring will always be the lower grade chocobo + 1
so even if you buy a grade 9 one you can't cheese and skip to rank 9
Does anyone know how much exp Frontline roulette gives? I'm wondering if it's even worth it at 77.
Around 50% of your EXP bar
I know, but what I mean is that if I buy a Grade 9, will it have better chances to get more 4 stars ?
nope
Alright, the wait is worth it then.
It's also 3 am on a weekday so the queue likely won't pop for an hour or two on NA data centers
It late as shit
shit.
How many relic mats do i get per crystal tower runs?
1 memory per run
I just dinged 80 but my iLv is not high enough for the final MSQ raid. Should I spend Gil on exarchic gear in the trading post? What's your advice for me here
did you get your gear from the guy you showed the role quest crystal to
He very explicitly says "hey I made gear for you with the leftover inspiration I had"
Uh, I don't remember anything about this, is this the guy ||in the Tempest/workbench||?
yes
OK. I will keep that in mind. Will I be wanting to buy Exarchic gear once MSQ is done anyway? Or are there better uses for my Gil and other (better) ways of getting that high item level gear?
Exarchic is really only if you wanna skip straight to the current raid tier
Is there any real good reason not to do that?
You don't care for savage raiding and can wait out the lockouts for normal raid gear

IS Eden's Verse fulmination savage pretty easy?
depends on who you're asking and who you bring in
Hi, is there any harm if I don't store my gil in a retainer or any reason why it would be beneficial to store it away?
The only benefit is you can't fat finger and bought something expensive off the MB by accident
psychologically, probably less likely to splurge on expensive things, but in general there's no interest or anything
That too
is there any hair you can get from deluberum normal?
ye
@iron helm DPS is easy, healers are okay as long as you have the gear and tanks is the hardest
What's the fast as way to lvl your Chocobo companion?
Weekly challenge log and make sure to feed it any chocobo feed that’s not for dyeing in the stables every 2 hours
After that just kill tons of overworld monsters near your level
which shadow of mache raid takes the least amount of time?
Probably Void Ark or Mhach, definitely not Dun Scaith due to the final boss being split in two + mini-cutscene
I'd say Void Ark personally. You can faceroll it a lot more than Weeping City

How do I get the 50k score for gathering/crafting in the air for the minions?
On the bottom right, I have accumulated score of 35247 and 19721 which is more than 50k.
So the 50k achievement has to be a single class and 500k can be total from all classes?
The wording sucks.
It’s needs to be a single class for the minions, at least
Not sure about the 500k one
same
otherwise you'd get every achievement at the same time which would make very little sense
I know it's only been a couple of days but is there an early consensus on the quickest way for these latest relic steps, the raids or chancing drops in Critical Engagements?
Figures. Thank you
but unlike previous memories, you can't farm them in split groups on normal mobs, so it's even worse in bozja than usual
Just as well i enjoy a good raid haha. Back to it I guess. Thanks for the help
what does it mean to have this glowing symbol on the corner of the gear?
how do i achieve that?
while crafting you need to make the quality gauge rise through actions before completing the craft via progress
ahhh
so the ones bought from merchants you wont be able to high quality those then i suppose
no. you can only make something high quality in the crafting stages
once its done. its done
i see, thx
however, rewards from msq tend to be high quality

Castrum Lacus Litore spawns every hour in an instance correct?
If the timer didn’t change with 5.45, yes.
i haven't played much in the last few months, where do you go to access the skybuilder stuff again?
why is mith brambles called "mith"
what does mith mean
it's the name of the player or static that released the strat
it doesn't have to mean anything
ahh okay
Am teaching a newbie and idk why mith is called mith I thought it meant something
Kachim, ilya, jp, happy and now mith
person who made it is named mith math
most strats simply come down to that
ilya is called ilya, mrhappy is called mrhappy, jp is 'a strat they use in jp'
generally not worth overthinking them
I only started playing in 5.3 so I got so used to "BR Circle" or "Uptime Soccer"or "Braindead Cross T"
foundation aetheryte should take you to firmament if you've already unlocked it
Now all I see are content creators' names
if not, there's a blue quest somewhat near it
yeah i just found that finally lol, google was surprisingly lacking in that
Announcement is 6th for UK/EU..?
Only Americans have it on the 5th..right
6.0 Showcaae
@unborn light it is just past midnight on your end
yeah it's 1h30AM GMT, the website/launcher tell you the right time
GMT being UK time obv
Thanks@forest sage @warped nest
Might need an afternoon nap!😌
they sent out an email with a countdown too 
actually, can you fish in diadem?
yeah
nice
where can i read the patch again x_x
Hiya all! am i able to ask some advice on gardening on here? or must i ask somewhere else?
ty ty
Ask away
Oops
are grade 3 skybuilder materials obsolete now?
Yes
do they have any use other than just being deleted?
You can still turn in the grade 3 crafts for experience
Is there a point to repairing unless my armor is at 0?
1-100/199 is the same
probably better to repair it when it's low than letting it break in a dungeon though
It's good to get into the habit of repairing your gear regularly.
While it can't break in a dungeon anymore, it will break immediately upon leaving the dungeon, and it's easy to forget to fix it if you're not already in the habit of doing so.

Well cant break in a dungeon unless you die*
Yeah, dying still causes it to break mid-dungeon
People die in dungeons? 
Yeah, baddies
At what point should I start caring about switching from trial to buying the game? I saw the cap is pretty generous and I'm someone who has to stretch their money.
After you cap on trial
You should buy the game when you're ready to.
Or get super annoyed at limitations
To the end of HW is a good chunk of the game as it is, and there's plenty of content you can do, even without buying the game and sub time.
Yeah I figured I'd do something like that. I was just wondering if there was some point where people start really feeling the limitations
The limitations are primarily social stuff
