robust crow
#

you're into post-ARR now

#

you are not at the heavensward expansion yet

lament basalt
#

its making me cringe too hard i want out

robust crow
#

post-ARR will last a long time

lament basalt
#

damn

pearl perch
#

so the 5x3 looked like it would yield more but asking on the general diffrerence

crisp quartz
#

Is there a Blu Mage Discord to help find parties for Spelling and other Blu stuff?

pearl perch
#

Party Finder has never failed me the last 2 days

crisp quartz
#

Ok so just use Party Finder?...

pearl perch
#

you'd be surprised by how quickly the party fills up + willing to do more things

crisp quartz
#

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

pearl perch
#

chance is you'll run for something someone in the party doesn't havealready

robust crow
#

i guess the 4x4 is easier for beginners to figure out

lament basalt
#

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

robust crow
#

it doesn't look like it's any better than the 5x3 either

#

i've only ever done 5x3 so i wouldn't know

crisp quartz
#

Cool, thank you @pearl perch

lament basalt
#

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

modest igloo
#

yes.

scarlet arrow
modest igloo
#

if it helps you out, 3.0 builds a bit on what happens in post 2.0

scarlet arrow
#

and the post-2.0 quests start to get better (in the opinions of many) the closer you get to 3.0

buoyant lintel
#

Oh, I was checking that but it shows 0, could I miss any prereq quests?

agile laurel
#

doubt

#

there's just no pfs up atm

#

they fill up fast

lament basalt
#

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

remote lintel
#

i mean

#

the story is 70% of the game

agile laurel
#

the story is the game

#

you're playing

scarlet arrow
#

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

lament basalt
#

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

scarlet arrow
#

minfilia will...well you'll see

lament basalt
#

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

remote lintel
#

no they meant it gets better in HW

#

and post ARR is extremely important anyway

scarlet arrow
#

^ HW is a significant step up in the quality of both the story and the storytelling

faint flare
#

Correct

#

Unless the boss is about to jump

#

Then you use it

#

To get the damage

twilit arch
#

or the fight's going to be over before rook/queen is done

lament basalt
#

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||

pseudo heath
#

Need people for Alexander Soul of the creator Savage for glammour Farm, anybody got time? Light Datacenter

warped nest
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Best way to farm Loathsome memory of dying

#

I heard Labyrinth

#

But I did 2 runs and got none

#

Am I doing something wrong

small kettle
#

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?

remote lintel
#

no

#

its a repeatable quest

leaden ginkgo
#

If you level summoner you level the healer class at the same time?

remote lintel
#

yes

small kettle
#

so whats the diff. between leavequest and fate ......

faint flare
#

Leves are basically mini duties that are repeatable...they're essentially the repeatable quests in the game

#

Shit for combats, great for crafters/gatherers

scarlet arrow
#

also Grand Company leves are ok if you need company seals but haven't unlocked Expert Delivery yet

lavish prism
#

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

lavish vortex
#

What does the number 6 on the top left corner of the item related lost actions icons mean?

faint flare
#

Its weight

twilit arch
#

whatever lvl 78 recipe has the cheapest materials for you to buy/gather @lavish prism

faint flare
#

Each action has a weight which counts towards your Holster limjt

lavish vortex
#

And you have a weight limit of what you can carry to the raid?

faint flare
#

At any time

#

In your holster

lavish vortex
#

I see, thanks

faint flare
#

It caps at 70, upgradeable to 80 via the fibers

lavish vortex
#

And I I take an essence, it lasts the entire raid even if I die?

faint flare
#

Essenses last the entire instance

#

Or until you use another or swap jobs

lavish vortex
#

Nice, thanks

forest lark
#

Or

#

Until u die

#

Im pretty sure, no?

faint flare
#

No

forest lark
#

The hp increase ones

faint flare
#

No

#

All essenses persist through death

forest lark
#

Ohh yeah right my bad it disappeared cause I left and entered another instance

modest igloo
#

you can't buy any 515 weapons right?

faint flare
#

Only via Emerald totems

#

But not with gil

modest igloo
#

right ok i thought i saw something else about it

tidal yarrow
#

how can I start doing stuff at bozja?

#

i am in the instance

#

but i can't do anything

#

:(

faint flare
#

Follow the blue quests

#

They guide you around

tidal yarrow
#

i have none :o

faint flare
#

Should be one in the base camp to pick up

tidal yarrow
#

no blue quests on bozja southern front

#

i talked with someone once

#

it was blue quest

#

that's it

faint flare
#

Then you have it accepted, zoom in on your map

tidal yarrow
#

yeah that's what im doing. map opened but no quests .

faint flare
#

The blue quests guide you around and gets you to talk to people

#

Check your journal as well

tidal yarrow
#

"where eagles nest" quest has to do anything with it?

faint flare
#

Yes, thats the quest to get you in

tidal yarrow
#

aight thanks

#

should I join "critical engagements"?

#

even if I just started

obsidian patio
#

Yes.

tidal yarrow
#

do I need to join a party?

strange coral
#

You don't have to, but it helps.

tidal yarrow
#

after i did a one of those fights ive read i have to go collect a reward from someone or am I wrong?

strange coral
#

You'll get rewards at the end automatically, just like fates

#

Some of which can be spent/traded at the camp

mental garnet
#

is there any point to doing non ShB beast tribe quests if i have all jobs (sans BLU) to 80?

vernal urchin
#

if you want the rewards you can get from them

mental garnet
#

like is there a way to get lower rank materia from SB beast quests?

vernal urchin
#

like mounts, minions, orchestrion rolls

mental garnet
#

hmm yea i suppose that counts too

strange coral
#

Story as well, if you care about it

vernal urchin
#

and yes i think you can get lower ranked materia from them too

mental garnet
#

awesome

leaden ginkgo
#

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

remote lintel
#

did you do the stormblood 24 man raids @leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo
#

The royal city of rabanastre?

twilit arch
#

that's the first one, yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

I havent done it but its in my duty finder

remote lintel
#

all 3 of them

leaden ginkgo
#

Nope 😄

remote lintel
#

do them

twilit arch
#

so you need to continue that questline then before you can unlock gangos

leaden ginkgo
#

How to unlock the other 2

#

Gotcha

remote lintel
#

do the raid

#

continue the quest

leaden ginkgo
#

ty

twilit arch
#

once you do the raid you should able to pick up "Uninvited"

solid kraken
#

can anyone point me in the right direction of house decorators am looking to hire someone on the crystal couerl server ;w;

twilit arch
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

tyty

polar cairn
#

how many loathsome memories of dying can you get from a raid?

open ember
#

CT raid?

#

1

polar cairn
#

yes

#

hmm

open ember
#

1 memory per raid

polar cairn
#

do you know what the chance of getting them is in bozja

open ember
#

Same for Castrum Lacus Litore

#

Random in Bozja

#

Not guaranteed

silver ruin
#

i spent 6 hours in bozja yesterday and got 3 from over 20 CEs

polar cairn
#

so whats the quickest crystal tower raid lol

terse grail
#

Syrcus tower

#

esp if you got blu mages in there

silver ruin
#

uhh whats skill visual effects under in settings?

leaden ginkgo
#

how does one get gold rewards from ixion?

faint flare
#

Like any fate, get enough contribution...aka do damage...join parties as it helps

leaden ginkgo
#

Are there any fates like ixion and odin in shadowbringers?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

There's 2, like all expansions iirc

somber lantern
#

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?

faint flare
#

!status Cactuar

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

Cactuar is currently Online
This server is currently: Standard
Creation of New Characters Unavailable

faint flare
#

Wait until later

#

Its under the temporary character lock

leaden ginkgo
#

Do they also give mount rewards?

faint flare
#

Formidable has the iron frog mount

#

Archaotania is the frog glamour iirc

modern sail
#

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?

obsidian patio
#

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

modern sail
#

moogle mail I did everything right before Death of Mailman which is what i'm trying to get

obsidian patio
#

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.

modern sail
#

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

silver ruin
#

is the memory drop from debureum reginae or whatever 100%?

fierce cobalt
#

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?

forest lark
#

Any good guides for rdm like rotations etc

#

Preferably for reqding

bleak tendon
#

Does the transmog in this game let me have a plate piece that looks like cloth

bleak tendon
#

Thanks

strange coral
#

Gear doesn't have plate, cloth, mail, leather classifications like in wow. Instead restrictions come from level, job, and gender for some.

willow sedge
#

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

willow sedge
modest igloo
willow sedge
modest igloo
#

np

remote lintel
#

@forest lark for what level

forest lark
#

70

remote lintel
forest lark
#

Thx I'll check it out, it's about time I got rdm to 80 xd

upper pendant
#

what's the best way to get the loathsome memories? and if its crystal tower which one

celest birch
#

Anyone know anyone in the FC K Project??

icy kiln
#

Are any of the 24 man Crystal Tower raids mandatory for MSQs?

#

I just got to where I'm introduced to them

strange coral
#

Yes, the quest line is required to progress the MSQ

icy kiln
#

the idea of jumping into one intimidates me lol Been playing less than two weeks

pallid ginkgo
#

Theyre easy and fun

#

Just follow where your white named people are going

strange coral
#

They are a faceroll, like the MSQ roulette

remote lintel
#

24 man raids are casual content

#

especially ARR ones

pallid ginkgo
#

Sometimes some get wacky

#

If theres enough new players

remote lintel
#

you dont even need to know the mechanics because people will just kill bosses in like a minute

icy kiln
#

so I shouldn't be too worried about being a new player learning tank?

pallid ginkgo
#

Just dont provoke the boss

remote lintel
#

sometimes there will be 3 bosses

#

go to your assigned boss

#

and tank it

pallid ginkgo
#

Ye youll be separated based off parties

#

But theyre not hard.

strange coral
#

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.

scarlet arrow
#

does CLL give job exp?

pallid ginkgo
#

CLL?

remote lintel
#

hardly

#

oh

#

no

scarlet arrow
#

castrum

pallid ginkgo
#

Oh

#

Idk yet to do it

remote lintel
#

i dont think ive gotten exp from it

pallid ginkgo
#

I wonder how long world transfers take.

remote lintel
#

a few minutes from what ive heard

pallid ginkgo
#

Ah alright

pallid ginkgo
#

Decided to join my friend on aether since my primal friends stopped playing.

icy kiln
#

do 24 man raids give good EXP?

remote lintel
#

no

pallid ginkgo
#

As themselves no

#

In the roulette yes

remote lintel
#

raids by themselves dont give good exp because theyre level cap duties

pallid ginkgo
#

The roulette xp bonus is pretty chunky

#

^

icy kiln
#

Ah, okay

remote lintel
#

same goes for other level cap duties

pallid ginkgo
#

Same goes for dungeons

#

Ye

icy kiln
#

Will completing one unlock the roulette or do I need to do all three?

remote lintel
#

you need at least 2 unlocked

pallid ginkgo
#

Idk i forget

frozen girder
#

Where should I farm Oddly Delicate Raw Jade for my pickaxe?

open ember
#

is there any orchestiron rolls for DR or nah

#

because i love that last boss theme

#

ah nvrm i found it

twilit arch
#

ye

#

The Queen Awakens

open ember
#

ah ok another question then

#

the standard boss theme for all the other bosses in DR

#

is there a roll for that?

twilit arch
#

uhh might be one of the other two orchestrions from DR, not sure

open ember
#

hm i guess i gotta find it then. ty!

rich jacinth
#

I have an issue when starting the game

remote lintel
rich jacinth
#

From what I'v been told its something like "your trial is over "but I renewed my subb

strange coral
#

Translation tells me it's a generic "an error has occured" message

plain python
#

bojza is lv71-80 or 70-80?

remote lintel
#

71

plain python
#

is the level fixed like in Eureka?

twilit arch
#

yes

#

you're scaled up to 80

#

if you are under it

open ember
#

update: i found it and its exists ~

plain python
#

how fast it is compared to spamming dungeon runs for leveling alts

twilit arch
#

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

plain python
#

mhm you're right 🤔

reef knot
#

is it not possible to obtain eastern cherry tree anymore?

twilit arch
#

you'll have to buy them from the mogstation

reef knot
#

oo okay i didnt know thank you !

twilit arch
#

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)

robust path
#

Is there a site where I can look at weapon/armour models for glamour purposes?

twilit arch
rich jacinth
#

God dman

#

I wanna play ff sadge

robust path
#

Thank you.

twilit arch
#

ffxiv collection only has armour by the by

manic flare
#

is there a discord for people who are buying/selling ffxiv items? using gil

#

like a marketboard discord

rich jacinth
worthy basin
#

do i need to be level 80 before entering dr?

remote lintel
#

i think so

odd ravine
#

Hey! Anyone wanna help me (EXCAL DRK 48) Run arum vale?

queen cape
#

Anyone know why Marsuk might not be spawning in Gangos? I can't pick up the quest for the new 24 man.

remote lintel
#

did you do the rest of the questline

turbid kelp
#

Can i transfer my free trail from ps4 to pc?

worthy rain
#

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?

twilit arch
#

if you're higher than the solo duty, you will be sync'd down

worthy rain
#

Or even can not use it in multi instances?

twilit arch
#

and if you're sync'd down below the lvl of the spell then you can't use said spell

worthy rain
#

Ok 👍

#

What is the purpose of armor in a mount? Just because style?

twilit arch
#

barding on your chocobo? glamour basically

glacial isle
#

Is the Proto-Ultima accessories (ring in this case) significantly worse than the Shire ones?

remote lintel
#

yes

#

well

#

shire is just way easier to get

obsidian patio
#

They’re the same item level so roughly equal

#

Just depends on what secondary stats you like

glacial isle
#

does Skill Speed matter for a MCH?

obsidian patio
#

Not really

remote lintel
#

substats dont really matter when leveling anyway

obsidian patio
#

Ranged DPS as a whole don’t really like Skill Speed

#

(Bard/Machinist/Dancer)

plain python
#

is it a bad idea for BLM to build spell speed? 😮

remote lintel
#

no

#

one of the bis sets melds a lot of sps

obsidian patio
#

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

plain python
#

what about red mage?

remote lintel
#

no rdm has dualcast

plain python
#

so traditional Critical Hit/Direct Hit build?

remote lintel
#

the meld priority is crit > dh > det yes

worthy rain
#

Does it worth it doing GC missions for purchasing something in the store?

#

New mounts for example?

remote lintel
#

the gc headquarters dont sell mounts

#

use seals to get promotions

worthy rain
glacial isle
#

Also some mats and stuff

remote lintel
#

at sergeant second class you can just turn in gear for seals

worthy rain
#

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

glacial isle
#

GC store sells some mats you can't get anywhere else unless its on the MB

worthy rain
#

And materials are for strengthen the gear? Lol I never use or search materials

glacial isle
#

some quests (usually relics) need 'em

worthy rain
#

Ok, but if you change that strenghtened gear, was it worth it for selling it?

glacial isle
#

Relics at this point (dunno about the newest one) are for glamours

#

because they're shiny

worthy rain
#

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?

glacial isle
#

you don't strengthen gear?

worthy rain
#

No, because I change gear whenever is better other gear

glacial isle
#

Yes

worthy rain
#

Then why bother?

remote lintel
#

strengthening gear isnt a thing

glacial isle
#

You get gear so you're strong enough to get better gear, and sell it for cash

remote lintel
#

or trade it for seals

worthy rain
#

But the lesser one, not the better one

glacial isle
#

Yes, or keep it if you're levelling multiple classes and it needs it

#

Yes

remote lintel
#

the mats from the gc headquarters are only if you craft or do the relic weapon

glacial isle
#

^^

manic flare
#

is there a way to preview bardings?

glacial isle
#

(tbh i just google search the bardings)

worthy rain
#

Apart from ascension and mats, what is best to invest the seals? Weapons?

remote lintel
#

@manic flare no

manic flare
remote lintel
#

glamour prisms, glamour dispellers, cordials

twilit arch
#

venture tokens

remote lintel
#

check your market for what sells best

#

and that

manic flare
#

sometimes borax sells REALLY well

#

u can buy borax for 250 GC seals i think

plain python
#

I suggest keep some prism, dispellers and cordinals for your own use too :3

manic flare
#

@worthy rain
!market light borax

worthy rain
#

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?

remote lintel
#

teleporting

#

buying fashion

glacial isle
#

buy stuff for gil on MB

remote lintel
#

buy 500 pets

worthy rain
#

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

remote lintel
#

basically

limber kindle
#

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/

worthy rain
#

Talking about what to buy, where are mounts to buy? Are they all the same speed?

glacial isle
#

How do you beat the Refurbisher in Alexander: Eyes of the Creator?

remote lintel
#

mount speed is based on zone

worthy rain
glacial isle
#

All mounts are the same except for how they look

remote lintel
#

yes theyre the same speed

glacial isle
#

and some can carry multiple people but they're special

remote lintel
#

except the motorcycle on mog station comes with the first speed upgrade

glacial isle
#

How do you beat the Refurbisher in Alexander: Eyes of the Creator?

marble drift
#

with a team of 7 players?

#

I assume based on your previous questions and ideas that you're trying to solo it or something

worthy basin
#

the quest "Let me Holster that for you" when you finish that, how many extra holster slots does it give you?

glacial isle
#

no, full party

viscid fossil
#

What are Bozjan Field Note?

remote lintel
#

lore

#

@worthy basin 10 iirc

viscid fossil
#

so it's just to collect them?

glacial isle
#

i think this is our 5th run

remote lintel
#

yes

#

and trade the extras for lockboxes

viscid fossil
#

ah thanks 😄

terse crystal
#

would the moogle cap for the event work in viera?

glacial isle
#

For Alexander: Eyes of the Creator, what's the mechanics for Faust?

#

we keep wiping when he shows up

marble drift
#

There are probably some youtube guides that'll be a lot more reliable than us

analog gate
#

faust is the solo add?

#

if he touch lava while still alive, you'll wipe

glacial isle
#

ah

#

but we still kill him on a platform that will turn to lava yes?

analog gate
#

yes

abstract vapor
#

on whm how glare and dia interact with each other do they increase the dot tick-rate or something else

remote lintel
#

no?

#

dots tick like once every 3s

abstract vapor
#

oh ok

marble drift
#

Im curious as to the reasoning why you thought glare increased the dot tick rate

abstract vapor
#

cause I saw the dmg go a bit faster lol

Quick question, what are the rewards for Delubrum savage?

remote lintel
#

like 20 silver coins and an rng item from the last boss chest

#

can be new hair, new gabriel mount, upgrade box, etc

haughty flicker
#

rng item? and only 20 coins? delubrum normal gives that many, lol

#

ahh

remote lintel
#

OH

Where is "Hail to the queen" I just finished the 3rd raid in the questline and finished it all up

i thought you said normal

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it in kugane?

haughty flicker
#

oh, that's for normal?

remote lintel
#

yeah

#

i dont think people know the rewards for DR savage yet because they havent beat it?

haughty flicker
#

I didn't get an RNG item at the end of normal, lame, lol

remote lintel
#

@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

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.

remote lintel
#

ask here

orchid ibex
#

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.

remote lintel
#

people dont usually do raids with their FCs

#

the recruitment channel has static recruitment posts

tardy patio
#

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

remote lintel
#

@orchid ibex also are you geared and know your rotation

orchid ibex
#

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

remote lintel
#

!faq gearguide

zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
#

lists all the sets and their ilvls

#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
#

this has all the rotations/bis/guides

orchid ibex
#

Yeah, That's how I found the gear to buy

remote lintel
#

you need at least 510 to do all the eden savage raids

orchid ibex
#

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

manic flare
#

is it against the ToS to buy dye from the mogstation and then sell it on the MB for gil?

remote lintel
#

its untradeable

edgy dune
#

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?

remote lintel
#

its good if youre a dps with long queues

#

it gives a set amoutn of exp for each set of floors you clear

manic flare
#

for around 100k gil

#

which u can buy from mogstation

remote lintel
#

no

#

only dyes that say "general purpose" are tradeable

orchid ibex
#

okay, I was doing exactly the rotation according to The Balance 😂

manic flare
#

ah gotcha

novel sonnet
#

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

remote lintel
#

crafting rotation is a rotation for crafters

marble drift
#

all crafters basically have the same skills

novel sonnet
#

so I.E -> Leather -> Weaver -> Arm = HQ finished product

remote lintel
#

what

#

those are jobs not skills

novel sonnet
#

oops. misread what you said lol

manic flare
#

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

remote lintel
#

you can use teamcraft to help you make a macro according to your craftsmanship/control/etc

obsidian patio
#

Muscle Memory can be better depending on your stats and the item

manic flare
#

use muscle memory if u can't finish the craft in one go

manic flare
glacial isle
#

How do you get Amber Vilekin again? From chests in Foundation Levequests?

remote lintel
#

yes

obsidian patio
#

Yep

#

Don’t need to do the fate at all, just search for a coffer

marble drift
#

A tip for those is to look for the level 58 levequest "Dance, Magic, Dance"

obsidian patio
#

And then abandon and reactivate the leve

marble drift
#

and then do what Wynne is suggesting

novel sonnet
#

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

marble drift
#

to farm them. warning. it tears through your leves very quickly

#

so if you had another use for them well... oof

glacial isle
#

don't we have a 100 of them/week?

manic flare
#

to make your item HQ

novel sonnet
#

another quick question does food & those manuals stack?

novel sonnet
manic flare
#

also use byregot's blessing at the end, since it's more effective with more stacks of inner quiet you have

remote lintel
#

@glacial isle you get 3 every 12 hours iirc

#

100 is the cap

are you acheivement hunting or leveling?

did they change the spawn conditions for the chest in Dance, Magic Dance

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

#

quick question. is ARR final mission ||The Ultimate Weapon|| ? and do I need to finish the patch missions?

#

or are they optional

terse sequoia
#

How do I get into a dungeon?

red apex
#

you gotta use duty finder

#

if kbm press U and it opens the menu

terse sequoia
#

Ah everything’s locked in there but guildhests

warped nest
#

Patch msq are the epilogues of ARR

terse sequoia
#

Hunt log it is

warped nest
#

Then you will transition into the prologue for Heavensward

red apex
warped nest
#

So, no skip, you have to do them

red apex
#

aww okay

#

that's that much more missions to complete! -_-

remote lintel
#

thats the game yes

warped nest
#

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 msq while you wait for queue

silver ruin
warped nest
#

Completion of the Crystal Tower quest line is required for MSQ anyway you might as well get it going early

silver ruin
#

and for some dps classes, buff overlap

opaque pewter
#

Is there a percentage value to how much slower the LB bar generates?

cloud palm
#

can DRG jumps and leaps actually avoid AOEs?

small marsh
#

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

cloud palm
#

what about Spineshatter? if im in the air does that count?

remote lintel
#

no

cloud palm
#

damn

#

thats lame

small marsh
#

the aoe circle is not only for people touching the ground

remote lintel
#

it doesn't count vertical axis

#

only horizontal

small marsh
#

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

remote lintel
#

also I learned the hard way that jump/high jump does not dodge aoes

cloud palm
#

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

slate arrow
#

for the most part the game doesn't care about jump states, you're always considered "on the ground" for AoEs

remote lintel
#

@cloud palm no

small marsh
#

like the FF12 polearms?

#

ponder

cloud palm
#

yeah like a polearm. there isn;t? lame

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

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?

leveling is specifically non level cap dungeons

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?

there's no way to check your dps output yourself

Ah that makes me a little sad

remote lintel

none of your healing skills are "panic buttons"

you should be prioritizing ogcd heals over gcd heals

your resolution might be off?

they're still gigantic

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

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.

left moth
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

ive never seen it be a problem

rigid narwhal
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

ya

terse grail
#

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

left moth
#

they said stance was on (which got me thinking wasn't connecting the aoe to the moops for some reason)

leaden ginkgo
#

i dunno rdm that much, but like a tri cast huge aoe on mobs pulling them off maybe?

rigid narwhal
#

nah

leaden ginkgo
#

id assume tank gets them back easily tho

rigid narwhal
#

it can take threat if they've just shield lob > aoe'd

#

but not if they've done a full aoe rotation

hot eagle
#

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

short prairie
#

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? 😦

#

@short prairie were you spamming aoe multiple times on the enemies

short prairie

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?

what

#

youre using aoe on a single mob?

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

remote lintel

do castrum and delubrum

#

Are those instances?

#

the quest makes you do them

Gotcha. I'm guessing I'll unlock them with higher rank? I"m only rank 7 almost 8

Rank 10 will unlock Castrum Lacus

You do them at rank 10

and delubrum

Except Delurbum Savage

#

You need rank 15 for that

remote lintel
#

people organize runs there

proud willow
#

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

fast talon
#

When people use the term "alt" do they mean a completely different character or just the jobs they don't particularly use/main

proud willow
#

It can mean either

#

so you kind of have to tell from context

fast talon
#

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.

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?

slate arrow
#

you can also just get a friend to help you transfer items

vale kayak
#

I don't know anyone in this game

slate arrow
#

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?

slate arrow
#

@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

vale kayak
#

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?

slate arrow
#

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

proud willow
#

Yeah, Collector's edition doesn't care which platform you got it on. You get the items on every new character regardless

vale kayak
#

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?

slate arrow
#

Oh, you'll have to buy a version of starter for PSN

#

Since you don't own the base game

proud willow
#

he got the Complete

slate arrow
#

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

graceful vault
slate arrow
#

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

graceful vault
#

ok, thanks!

icy kiln
#

what are the random letters floating around in the Cloud of Darkness fight and why do they spell Dicbag lol

remote lintel
#

player markers

little swift
#

The markers are actually d 1 c b a 4

remote lintel
#

shhhh

vale kayak
#

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?

slate arrow
#

yes and yes

#

There's no inter character trade thing

#

As everything is character based in this game

remote lintel
#

you would need to get another person to invite your character to the fc

vale kayak
#

Ok thanks everyone, especially @slate arrow !👍

swift pasture
#

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

little swift
#

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

swift pasture
#

ahhh I see. thank you!

split path
#

so what server is really populated rn and joinable?

slate arrow
#

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

graceful vault
#

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 ?

slate arrow
#

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

sick coral
#

Does anyone know how much exp Frontline roulette gives? I'm wondering if it's even worth it at 77.

slate arrow
#

Around 50% of your EXP bar

graceful vault
#

I know, but what I mean is that if I buy a Grade 9, will it have better chances to get more 4 stars ?

slate arrow
#

nope

sick coral
#

Alright, the wait is worth it then.

slate arrow
#

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

sick coral
#

shit.

inner heath
#

How many relic mats do i get per crystal tower runs?

green grail
#

1 memory per run

leaden ginkgo
#

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

slate arrow
#

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"

leaden ginkgo
#

Uh, I don't remember anything about this, is this the guy ||in the Tempest/workbench||?

slate arrow
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

slate arrow
#

Exarchic is really only if you wanna skip straight to the current raid tier

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there any real good reason not to do that?

slate arrow
#

You don't care for savage raiding and can wait out the lockouts for normal raid gear

iron helm
#

IS Eden's Verse fulmination savage pretty easy?

slate arrow
#

depends on who you're asking and who you bring in

short prairie
#

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?

warped nest
#

The only benefit is you can't fat finger and bought something expensive off the MB by accident

green grail
#

psychologically, probably less likely to splurge on expensive things, but in general there's no interest or anything

warped nest
#

That too

vocal star
#

is there any hair you can get from deluberum normal?

vestal needle
#

@iron helm DPS is easy, healers are okay as long as you have the gear and tanks is the hardest

ashen anvil
#

What's the fast as way to lvl your Chocobo companion?

obsidian patio
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

which shadow of mache raid takes the least amount of time?

obsidian patio
#

Probably Void Ark or Mhach, definitely not Dun Scaith due to the final boss being split in two + mini-cutscene

carmine goblet
#

I'd say Void Ark personally. You can faceroll it a lot more than Weeping City

obsidian hornet
#

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.

obsidian patio
#

It’s needs to be a single class for the minions, at least

#

Not sure about the 500k one

forest sage
#

same

#

otherwise you'd get every achievement at the same time which would make very little sense

jovial verge
#

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?

forest sage
#

raid

#

as usual the droprate in bozja is garbage, while raids are guaranteed

jovial verge
#

Figures. Thank you

forest sage
#

but unlike previous memories, you can't farm them in split groups on normal mobs, so it's even worse in bozja than usual

jovial verge
#

Just as well i enjoy a good raid haha. Back to it I guess. Thanks for the help

fresh marten
#

what does it mean to have this glowing symbol on the corner of the gear?

marble drift
#

high quality

fresh marten
#

how do i achieve that?

marble drift
#

while crafting you need to make the quality gauge rise through actions before completing the craft via progress

fresh marten
#

ahhh

#

so the ones bought from merchants you wont be able to high quality those then i suppose

marble drift
#

no. you can only make something high quality in the crafting stages

#

once its done. its done

fresh marten
#

i see, thx

agile laurel
#

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.

silver lintel
#

i haven't played much in the last few months, where do you go to access the skybuilder stuff again?

gusty pasture
#

why is mith brambles called "mith"

forest sage
#

probably because of the player or static

#

same as happy brambles

gusty pasture
#

what does mith mean

forest sage
#

it's the name of the player or static that released the strat

#

it doesn't have to mean anything

gusty pasture
#

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

agile laurel
#

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

gusty pasture
#

I only started playing in 5.3 so I got so used to "BR Circle" or "Uptime Soccer"or "Braindead Cross T"

agile laurel
gusty pasture
#

Now all I see are content creators' names

agile laurel
#

if not, there's a blue quest somewhat near it

silver lintel
#

yeah i just found that finally lol, google was surprisingly lacking in that

unborn light
#

Announcement is 6th for UK/EU..?

#

Only Americans have it on the 5th..right

#

6.0 Showcaae

warped nest
#

@unborn light it is just past midnight on your end

forest sage
#

yeah it's 1h30AM GMT, the website/launcher tell you the right time

#

GMT being UK time obv

unborn light
#

Thanks@forest sage @warped nest
Might need an afternoon nap!😌

Oops

silver lintel
#

are grade 3 skybuilder materials obsolete now?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

silver lintel
#

do they have any use other than just being deleted?

obsidian patio
#

You can still turn in the grade 3 crafts for experience

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a point to repairing unless my armor is at 0?

obsidian patio
#

1-100/199 is the same

silver lintel
#

probably better to repair it when it's low than letting it break in a dungeon though

open coral
#

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.

faint flare

Well cant break in a dungeon unless you die*

obsidian patio
#

Yeah, dying still causes it to break mid-dungeon

open coral
#

People die in dungeons? Thinking

faint flare
#

Yeah, baddies

celest shuttle
#

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.

faint flare
#

After you cap on trial

open coral
#

You should buy the game when you're ready to.

faint flare
#

Or get super annoyed at limitations

open coral
#

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.

celest shuttle
#

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

faint flare
#

The limitations are primarily social stuff
