Nope

remote lintel

You have to get the one from the extreme trial

thanks

modest igloo
#

which trial is that?

#

I forgot but it is thr 480 one. Is the one you fight the father of SB villan

Or get luck with a coffer of that particular piece

modest igloo
#

i have to do MM ex for those? fuckin hell

open ember
#

Its not that bad

#

With the current ilvl he's easier to kill

modest igloo
#

yeah true

#

meh, i can live without the glam

placid girder
#

Is there any dps classes that dont have a like set rotation? I usually play tanks and healers and i think part of the reason why is that you have the freedom to pick and choose from your skill options, where dps looks (to me) like single target rotation or aoe rotation. Not much in the way of creative or reactive skill useage.

little swift
#

there really isn't that much of that in tanks/healers either

#

paladin has such a strict rotation

#

but you'd probably be more interested in dancer/bard/red mage

#

as they're proc based jobs and don't always have teh same procs come up as you'd want them every fight

placid girder
#

Perfect gives me a direction to loook in at least

tropic frigate
#

Do people use relic weapons as glams, considering their item level?

faint flare
#

Yes

little swift
#

the most recent step upgrades to 515

bright wharf
#

is there a discord for finding a castrum group in aether datacenter?

faint flare
#

Relic weapons are glamour until the end of the expansion where they're the best weapon

little swift
#

which is more than sufficient for everything normal content

#

try the aether BA/Bozja discord in #resources @bright wharf

tropic frigate
#

oh ok

leaden ginkgo
#

I can use the chat menu and mouse features no problem

#

Wasd and other keyboard commands to play have an issue though

#

I’m playing on my iPad over Remote Desktop which I know isn’t technically supported but would be nice as I can play over remote desktop with keyboard controls on my laptop just fine

forest lark
#

Hiw long fantasia lasts from the moment u use it?

#

I used it but dont wanna change yet

#

Change of mind

#

Can it expire?

carmine goblet
#

@forest lark It won't expire. The ability to change your appearance on the character select screen will stay until you actually change

forest lark
#

Ohhh thats nice I thought Id have to change, not eorth using it for minor change

carmine goblet
#

You can also just hold onto it for as long as you want on your character until you decide to use it

#

either way it doesn't expire

forest lark
#

Alright thx

Whats better the augmented scaevan caster or mirage gear

warped nest
#

I dunno what's mirage

strange coral
#

Probably a mix. BLU BiS sometimes depends on what role you're doing

#

It's the new level 70 stuff for BLU

warped nest
#

(ahh, BLU)

strange coral
mental garnet
#

how long does it take to cap rested xp?

twilit arch
#

roughly 3 days

mental garnet
#

gotcha

#

thanks

floral willow
#

Does anyone know why Staelhundr NPC in Kugane wont show me his wares?

#

The relic vendor

twilit arch
#

have you gotten any of the stormblood relics?

floral willow
#

i'm not sure if it's a relic but i've got amyur and ingrimm

twilit arch
#

ingrimm is shadowbringers relic

#

and while amyur is the starting relic for the stormblood relic, it by itself doesn't have a replica since its not a end step for that stage

#

you need to progress amyur to anemos stage to see a replica of it on staelhundr (and it'll be the only thing you see because you've only progress to the anemos stage)

floral willow
#

i gotcha. thank you

coral sequoia
#

I haven't played in like a year and a half .. (outside of keeping my account open to stop house demolition) can you not sell housing items that have been placed on market board? I could swear if you were done with most (not all) housing items and wanted to resell it you could?

little swift

#

I tried in both keyboard and controller mode so idk if it’s an issue with how iPads send keystrokes

cyan kelp
#

You can sell your housing items to a player if you join their house and place it for them

leaden ginkgo
#

Not sure if anyone here has tried this so figured I’d ask

sour breach
#

hi there, got a friend that plays on Light I play on Chaos, just wanna know what carries over on different data centers. Do my pets and mounts that I obtained on Light work on my Chaos character?

slate arrow
#

No

#

Nothing works across characters

sour breach
#

i see

#

Is there a fee to transfer from Light to Chaos or isi t free?

slate arrow
#

Depends on the world status

sour breach
#

hmm ok

slate arrow
#

Free transfers only exist from Congested to Preferred worlds

sour breach
#

Probs just gonna make a new character in that case

#

thanks dude

dusky forum
#

what is the lv cap?

#

agile laurel
#

blu should also, by the general definition, not really be considered a playable job

placid ridge
#

If someone sends me an in game message while I’m offline will it deliver the msg to me?

agile laurel
#

no

placid ridge
#

When I get back

remote lintel
#

no

placid ridge
#

No? Really?

agile laurel
#

do you mean a tell, or mail?

twilit arch
#

do you mean message as in a tell or by mail

placid ridge
#

I guess a tell

agile laurel
#

no, then

#

basically no mmo does that iirc

twilit arch
#

tell no, because you can only send tells to characters online

placid ridge
#

I’ve been putting recruitment posts for an FC I started everywhere

#

Telling them to msg me in game, I’ve been online a good amount but probably offline for longer

remote lintel
#

tell them to msg you on discord

Does blacklisting someone prevent them from seeing your PFs?

yes

Alright, thanks

Shit well thanks for the info

fringe talon
#

Is it possible to turn off the aura that shows up when I have beast points on WAR?

gusty hare
#

I just began Shadowbringers. Is it possible to level 2 classes from 70 to 80 doing only the MSQs?

fringe talon
#

I like to go in first person when Im not in battle and now Ive got this swirly orange tornado surrounding me wherever I go

#

This is terrible lol

remote lintel
#

@gusty hare unlikely

twilit arch
#

if you don't want to bother going to the balance

little swift
#

Balance links to these anyways

narrow arch
#

So what is the bojza southern front?

#

I’m finally all the way caught up but haven’t seen anything about it

#

I ended up skipping the raids of Stormblood and Shadowbringers so I’m working on those now

remote lintel
#

its from a side quest

#

and the stormblood 24 man raids are required to access it

#

its an instanced area like eureka

narrow arch
#

Ah that’s probably why I haven’t seen it

#

What’s eureka? I haven’t seen that too

remote lintel
#

because theyre from side quests

#

its an instanced area that has a separate leveling system

gloomy ice
#

It's a huge exploration zone with a separate leveling system with a bunch of quirks that can potentially make you overpowered as hell.

#

Only in the same zone, of course. Can't bring the stuff outside aside from loot.

narrow arch
#

I’ve typically been doing the large majority of the side quests. I’ve been saving the main 8 player/24 player raids since I wanted to be caught up for the main story for tomorrow

#

So I’m currently working on the Stormblood raids and something about Ruby weapon

remote lintel
#

yellow quests arent important

#

blue quests unlock things

narrow arch
#

Oh yeah I’ve been skipping all of those since I’ve started the game

#

If it doesn’t have a plus symbol I disregard it

#

Other than things like class unlocks which I purposely skip for later

wheat plume
#

Should I use potions if I'm DPS coil turn 9? or the recovered HP is not so much?

plain python
#

when I have a house, I can just relocate to an empty lot regarding of its availability state?

twilit arch
#

yes

obsidian patio
wheat plume
#

is ther a web site to see how my stats are at lvl 50?

plain python
#

lodestone?

#

or u mean one where you can choose gear and see how stat goes?

obsidian patio
#

Just queue into a level 50 dungeon undersized with level sync on

inland zenith
#

It seems there has been an increase in the number of bots, is there a reason for it?

wheat plume
#

I wanna see how much HP do I have with each of my jobs

#

at lvl 50

remote lintel
#

just switch to them?

wheat plume
#

I dont have them at lvl 50, and I dont wanna enter a dungeon everytime I want to watch the stats

plain python
#

Maybe SE does ban waves instead of nuking individual bots so they are alive for now? 😮

remote lintel
#

SE does weekly ban waves

wheat plume
slate arrow
#

no

plain python
#

well, not really. lodestone only shows your stat with current gear

inland zenith
#

I thought they were increasing in numbers, usually I don't notice them so much. Only in the field, gathering.

slate arrow
#

you'll have to sync down

plain python
#

you will need another site

slate arrow
wheat plume
#

or any website with stats calculator or something like that anyone could recommend me?

inland zenith
velvet gorge
#

is the new 24man raid required to unlock the new relic stage?

#

the one you unlock after Castrum

strange coral
#

Yes

pearl perch
#

yes

velvet gorge
#

how is it compared to Castrum?

#

Castrum was painful with clueless randoms

gaunt sandal
#

does anyone know of a discord for castrum lol? I'm trying to clear this crap to access the relic quest but there's always just 10 people joining the instance gosh

leaden ginkgo
#

Where can I exchange my silver bozjan coins?

remote lintel
#

in gangos

#

@velvet gorge it will take at least an hour and has 6 bosses

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you

hallow grove
#

where can i find people who are looking to do castrum lacus litore?

remote lintel
manic flare
remote lintel
#

your number on the aggro list iirc

marble drift
#

Also comes with a bar. if that Ninja had more aggro you'd see it rise

#

only measures 1st vs 2nd (helpful for tanks in certain fights)

wind haven
#

best way to level up alts?

remote lintel
#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
wind haven
#

<3

manic flare
#

how real of an issue is this?

rain wing
#

why cant i see adamantoise as an option for character transfer even though on loadstone its not congested?

obsidian patio
#

Do you have a character on there?

rain wing
#

i did but i deleted it like an hoiur ago

#

wud that be the issue?

obsidian patio
#

Might be, it can sometimes take a bit to recognize deleted characters

#

It can be something small like retainers selling stuff

rain wing
#

ah good point, ill do that thx 😄

fast talon
#

How do you select between NPCs when using a controller? When using the dpad it also goes through any nearby players.

remote lintel
#

face them and press A

#

or the equivalent

mystic wolf
#

Is there any particular method to get through thr msq quickly? Or is it just grind it out?

fast talon
#

Is there no way to select between ones that are next to each other without doing so?

remote lintel
#

if there is then i dont know it

#

@mystic wolf i mean the msq is 75% of the game

fast talon
#

What do you mean by quickly? Just do the quests one after the other I guess. Or pay for a skip but I wouldn't recommend that.

#

If you're still in pre-Shadowbringers you should also do your job quests whenever a new one pops up.

mystic wolf
#

Id never pay for a skip. The story is good just there is a ton of quests, way too much needless to here do that that is meaningless to the story.

remote lintel
#

are you in post ARR

mystic wolf
#

Ya

remote lintel
#

it gets better and post ARR is very important

mystic wolf
#

Im i think about to start the last zone od stormblood

#

Of*

fast talon
#

Oh so youre already in SB

remote lintel
#

then youre in stormblood

#

not post ARR

fast talon
#

I guess technically they are in post ARR if we're being pedantic lol

#

But anyway, yeah, no other way to do it than to just take each quest one at a time.

mystic wolf
#

K

remote lintel
#

stormblood was kinda meh for most people

fast talon
#

Yeah ngl it wasn't as good as HW, still better than most of ARR though.

remote lintel
#

i just went through it at a speedwalking pace

mystic wolf
#

I think the story is ok but hasnt really pulled me in a ton yet. Heavensward was better to me.

fast talon
#

SB does introduce a really compelling villain though in the form of Zenos

#

I do like that

remote lintel
#

i will say that post SB was good

#

has one of my fave trials

mystic wolf
#

Nice

fast talon
#

But yeah, if ever you feel its too much maybe take a break, do some side stuff or something, trying to bumrush the MSQ could lead to burnout

mystic wolf
#

Indeed

jovial tide
#

I know this must have been asked a thousand times before, but how can you obtain the new hairstyle?

faint flare
#

Rare drop in Delerum normal

#

Final boss chests

soft tundra
#

Or more realistically (for now, at least), with ~30mil on the market boards

fast talon
#

If all my crafters/gatherers are already 80, is there any reason to do the facet quests outside of story? Do they have any good rewards or anything?

raven sage
#

Easy scrips

strange coral
#

The Multifaceted title

fast talon
#

Both good reasons, alright, guess I'll try to do that this weekend

undone matrix
#

how do i ask for a raise?

marble drift
#

If you ever make alt. Know that the facet quests give a ton of XP for nothing and you should've done em while leveling

jovial tide
#

/shout it

undone matrix
#

How do i get the cordinates?

jovial tide
#

Right click the minimap

remote lintel
#

type <pos>

jovial tide
#

Ctrl + right click I mean

fast talon
#

is there a quick way to clear a hotbar or do i have to, like, copy an empty hotbar macro

marble drift
#

Just use Cerb's method. it generates a clickable thing in the chat that puts a flag on the map for anyone curious

remote lintel
#

just drag the actions off?

marble drift
#

yeah its only maximum 12 buttons

remote lintel
#

or replace them

fast talon
#

well im basically making blu related macros considering how often i swap spells in and out, especially for the carnival, wanted to macro quickly emptying them out

#

outside of just copying an empty hotbar at least

leaden ginkgo
#

hey guys, my friends and I are unable to go into POTD together even though all of us have empty slots

#

do you guys know why?

#

keeps saying "one of your party members doesnt meet requirements"

remote lintel
#

you can keep some hotbars on a class like gladiator and just copy those over @fast talon

marble drift
#

are you all located in Quarrymill when attempting?

leaden ginkgo
#

yep

marble drift
#

and you're not trying to use a blue mage are you?

strange coral
fast talon
#

sweet, thanks

terse sequoia
#

How bad would it be to skip just ARR? This page says it’s 100 hours and I don’t know if I can stomach that much before I get to the “real” game.

cloud palm
#

do both people have to purchase the wristlet for the marriage thing to work or does only one person have to buy?

terse sequoia
#

100 hours is like the length of DQXI and I’ve been playing that for over a year and I havent finished.

remote lintel
#

both people

cloud palm
#

heard

terse sequoia
#

😦

remote lintel
#

what page

#

ARR is not 100 hours

fast talon
#

100 hours seems a bit of an over exageration

undone matrix
#

play arr with no mount

marble drift
#

lol pcgamer

fast talon
#

if you focus on only the MSQ, maybe one or two jobs and do their job quests when it pops up, it shouldnt be 100 hours

terse sequoia
#

I do have a chocobo

remote lintel
#

also dont know what you mean by the "real game" since the game is 75% story

#

you can clear ARR in a few days

terse sequoia
#

Well when the story improves and my class starts openjng up

marble drift
#

ARR story is fine. What are you on about?

remote lintel
#

its generally agreed upon that the story picks up at the very end of ARR/at the first expansion

#

also its subjective

#

since i enjoyed the game from start to end

silver lintel
#

is there anything more to crossbreeding than just putting one crop type on the corners of the plot and the other crop type in the inner edges of it?

terse sequoia
#

Well it’s not awful but it’s not keeping my attention. 🤷‍♂️ The Shadowbringers menu movie looked neat though.

remote lintel
#

its a slow burn

fast talon
#

I won't lie that there are some hiccups in ARR's story (Titan imo is the biggest offender) but overall it's not bad. It shouldn't take you 100 hours though unless you're like playing every job or something.

terse sequoia
#

Kaykay

#

I’m having fun regardless

remote lintel
#

also i would get rid of the mentality of "i HAVE to get to THIS point in the game for it to be fun"

#

because the story is only good because of what ARR sets up

terse sequoia
#

Well good luck because that’s what five years of WoW teaches you

remote lintel
#

this aint wow haha

#

this game is actually good

terse sequoia
#

Thanks I thought they were the exact same

marble drift
#

yeah immediately forget anything WoW related.

terse sequoia
#

Different names for the exact same game for no reason.

little swift
#

Its similar to other mmos in the sense that you have to make your own fun sometimes too

marble drift
#

you should be flabbergasted how many freshies come into this channel

#

with 1:1 WoW comparisons

little swift
#

I've set a pretty ludicrous goal for myself and I'm enjoying it

terse sequoia
#

Well if thats your frame of reference it’s hard not to

cloud palm
#

or you can play catch up for 4 years 😄

#

that is in my case at least

remote lintel
#

this is a final fantasy game first and an mmo second

fast talon
#

i never played wow, but something i've heard about wow's story is that it doesn't treat you as an important person despite what you do. in ffxiv you are usually the most important person in the story and characters treat you as such

terse sequoia
#

It’s weird.

#

You’re the “champion of Azeroth” and you apparently single-handedly save the planet from everything even if you did it in a group with nineteen other people.

marble drift
#

oh theres lines of dialogue that poke fun at that exact fact

little swift
terse sequoia
#

But you’re also kind of a side character who bends the knee to whoever the leader if your faction is

#

But anyway.

fast talon
#

yeah back to the original question, it shouldnt take you 100 hours unless youre intentionally slow or doing stuff on the side

#

if ever you start to feel burnout though you should try some of the side activities or maybe level new jobs, especially if you have road to 70 you will very qiuckly outlevel the main story if you only use one job

terse sequoia
#

Oh I’ve been clearing my logs too

little swift
#

Its about a full size game per expansion

#

About 40-50 hours including post patch quests

#

Per expac

#

So it will take some time to catch up

#

If you're paying attention to cutscenes and such

fast talon
#

yeah you gotta remember youre playing through...8 years i think of content

#

and each xpac received patches for about 2 years after their release?

little swift
#

Doing all the sidequest is wild though

#

thats not really worth

#

Unless you obsess over lore/world building

terse sequoia
#

It’s different in WoW though since you can just go to the next expac when you outlevel the current one.

vernal urchin
#

this game is a lot more story focused

terse sequoia
#

I was doing side quests on my first job because of that unfortunately

remote lintel
#

everything in this game is story locked

#

locations, dungeons, boss fights, even getting a mount

fast talon
#

yeah ffxiv puts a lot of focus on story, i think the director said its a final fantasy game first, mmo second

#

i know some people that literally only play it for the story

remote lintel
#

yes it is a numbered FF game

terse sequoia
#

I just wanna heal.

#

But story is cool too

remote lintel
#

well

fast talon
#

well being a healer has the upside of very fast queues the times you do have to play with other people lol

remote lintel
#

healing in this game is like 80% dpsing

terse sequoia
#

Which is fine

marble drift
#

fights in this game are a sharp left turn from other MMOs too

#

alot of other MMOs do reactionary things

#

FFXIV is heavily scripted.

#

Fights are a memorization dance

#

rather than a knee-jerk thing

simple shore
#

They have gotten better about having mechanics be at least some degree of random

terse sequoia
#

In WoW a lot of healers have to multi-job because Bliz gimps healer damage so doing story and stuff as a healer is really slow and crappy. So I’m looking forward to playing a healer that feels like a full character.

simple shore
#

i.e. You know you're going to get X mechanic next, but you dont know which format its going to have

remote lintel
#

this game is balanced

simple shore
#

"Balance" is by far the biggest thing that distinguishes this game from other MMO's. It gets nowhere near enough credit for it.

#

There is no such thing as a bad class/job in FF14

#

Like....ever

remote lintel
#

unless youre blue mage

simple shore
#

Unlike WoW for example where if you went into the current expansion as a Warrior you pretty much were hosed

marble drift
#

wow...I haven't been on wow in ages. Good to know they buttfucked my favorite class

fast talon
#

so question, and I don't even know if this is public info, but does the duty roulette snapshot your item level when you queue? so say i purposely unequip gear to drop my item level, it will make me illegible to enter high level duties when using the roulette?

twilit arch
#

if you are below the ilvl of the dungeon when you queue, then you cannot get that dungeon in the roulette

worthy rain
#

What is <flag> for?

twilit arch
#

doesn't take your ilvl into account when you accept queue

remote lintel
#

marking a position on the map

simple shore
fast talon
#

but once the queue has started, i can re-equip my gear?

twilit arch
#

ye

terse sequoia
worthy rain
remote lintel
#

yes it enters the coordinates into the chat

#

which people can click on

#

and it marks it on their map

worthy rain
#

Oook thanks 👍

fast talon
#

It does

twilit arch
#

it does, if you meet ilvl requirement

remote lintel
#

you just need to have a duty unlocked

worthy rain
#

Next to a name, sometimes there is a blue icon, and then a name, for example:

Player name, blue icon: Shiva

fast talon
#

Yeah, has happened to me and a friend of mine before, hence why I take precaution now.

remote lintel
#

thats their home world

crystal bluff
#

thats what world they are from

remote lintel
#

the flower means theyre from a different world

#

and shiva is the world

worthy rain
#

Ok thanks 👍

jovial tide
#

What exactly happens if you don't interrupt the blue frogs in dhon mheg?

twilit arch
#

they buff their targetr

marble drift
#

B E E G tree

jovial tide
#

I always do it as a tank but now that I'm a healer I don't really know what it does when the tank fails

marble drift
#

tree smash

jovial tide
#

So everything just hurts more?

marble drift
#

yeah its just a damage buff iirc

jovial tide
#

So that's why their damn HP kept dropping so hard

#

I knew it didn't feel right

#

With CDs on even

yes

trusts is just slightly slower than player ran dungeon

since it'll be 1 loot per boss chest rather than 2

But it's guaranteed to go to you, so there's that.

yep

whats the max IL?

I think 530 right now?

530(?)

currently 535 weapon, 530 everything else

yeah so it should be 530 average ilvl

I'm a returning player and was wondering what should I do.. my highest ilvl is ~460 and my MSQ is at 'in the name of the light'

Because I genuinely don't know

No, you just need to see them cast it

whew, cool.

@normal oasis do msq

fast talon
#

@dense hound Also if youre a fresh BLU, overworld monsters only have a % chance to learn the spell, though its odds are pretty good these days. When in a duty (dungeon/trial/raid) it's a guaranteed chance to learn if you are level synced. If you aren't level synced, it's a % chance again.

normal oasis

@remote lintel ok, and as for the tank 'meta' right now, if I want to raid/static, which would you say is best fitted for it?

whichever one looks coolest

but they all look cool ;_;

then roll a die

or get all of them 4head

@dense hound Oh I think there are actually two dungeon spells that are guaranteed to learn if youre undersized just because it's required to push the blue job quests: mind blast and glower

drk is warrior

with more oGCDs

What's the Fastest way to rank up your race chocobo for gold saucer?

#

It seems impossible to google because they used the same terms for both companion chocobos and race chocobos even though they mean two entirely different things :/

just do races

#

There's really no fast way outside of spamming races

south roost
#

Right now it's taking 2 races per rank and I'm only 17/40. Are you really expected to race over 100 times per chocobo as you rank up?

twilit arch
#

yes, you're expect to...play chocobo racing in order to level your racing bo

errant pasture
#

stormblood is completed, but i dont see the starting quests for the raids. Dramatis Personae quest giver keiten is not where the wiki says they are

south roost
#

There is a difference between playing chocobo races and burning 15-20hrs of play time in one piece of content per chocobo prestige. Assuming you dashed to level 9 that's like 200hrs of just chocobo racing

remote lintel
#

@errant pasture can you screenshot

twilit arch
#

it takes a couple of hours to get a chocobo to 40

#

it really doesn't take that long anymore

screenshot what?

where youre looking

Then I'm clearly doing something wrong because I'm not leveling my chocobo remotely that fast

You should be able to teach them a trait that boosts EXP last time I checked

@errant pasture open your journal, go to completed quests and look for “Chronicles of a New Era - Ivalice”

#
Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

So RDM question: Why would I ever use Engagement vs Corpse a corpse?

wintry chasm
#

You mean displacement and not corps-a-corps right?

#

That'd be because of movement

#

displacement sends you back a fair distance and depending on the arena or mechanics that movement could just straight up kill you so...having an option that doesn't move you is very nice

slate arrow
#

you don't want to ver-yeet yourself off the edge but you still want the extra damage

wintry chasm
#

raiding as Red Mage back in Stormblood was a pain when you didn't have engagement and you'd keep yeeting yourself off

you can also go in with less than a full party and still sync

what are the blue quests with a downward arrow in the name ?

marble drift
#

bluequest ?

obsidian patio
#

One of these?

#

No wait I know the one you mean

#

That’s means it’s a quest that syncs to your level

#

Shadowbringers sidequests and the Expansion Beast Tribe quests use those

#

They sync up to the maximum level for their expansion, so a HW beast tribe quest syncs up to level 60.

#

It’s a way of scaling the experience given so they’re relevant at any level in their expansion

raw granite
#

Wait so if I do a HW beast tribe quest and I'm level 65, it syncs me down to 60 ? Or does the quests sync down to my level ?

green grail
#

the quest will sync to 60, the exp reward too

#

if you do it at 51 then it'll sync to 51

#

but since it's HW, it only syncs between 50 and 60

Which of HW alliance raids is the shortest ?

green grail
#

void ark

obsidian patio
leaden ginkgo
#

What happens if you blacklist someone & they try to add you? Does it even let them or what?

obsidian patio
#

Because the paintings need to be put inside frames.

#

!item Grade 3 Picture Frame

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Grade 3 Picture Frame** **:** Wall-mounted : ilvl 210

A frame suitable for holding large paintings or illustrations.

obsidian patio
#

Grade 1 and 2 work the same, but are smaller in size.

obsidian patio
leaden ginkgo
#

Ahh okay, ty

obsidian patio
#

You can also attach paintings to this furniture

#

There's no way to change the target of a cast mid-cast is there?

obsidian patio
#

Nope, you’ll need to cancel your cast.

(leveling first time, still on msq, level 54ish): im capped on allagan tomestone of poetics. what should i spend them on and where do i spend them?

violet ibex
#

#

What error does it give you?

#

how can I see my chocobo (mount) rank and skills ?=

obsidian patio
#

Menu list > Character > Companion

#

healer left mid dungeon are we just fucked?

green grail
#

no, party leader gets a pop-up for a "fill queue", if they click yes then you should see something similar to a normal queue in the quest/objective tracker

#

and people who have "join party in progress" enabled in duty finder will be able to join, and a bunch of people do since it allows for a faster roulette clear etc if you get lucky

#

filling for kicked players/leavers

placid girder
#

thanks, just feels bad after a 30 min queue

#

any suggestions on what to blow GC seals on when capped?

obsidian patio
#

Promotions if you can still do those

placid girder
#

says i cant promote any further

obsidian patio
#

What’s your rank currently?

placid girder
#

second storm lieutenant

obsidian patio
#

Ah then you’re fine on the promotion side of things for the most part.

#

The easy/quick choice for seal spending is Glamour Prisms or Cordials

#

Both see good demand and generally have a stable price

placid girder
#

okies i bought like 50 glamour prisms cause i didnt wanna run out, ill stock up on cordials then thanks

obsidian patio
#

If you want to go deeper into market research then definitely check the materials for how they sell on a per seal basis.

#

This is the list I like to look at for my top choices

#
Glamour Prisms
Glamour Dispellers
Arachne Web
Borax
Wootz Ore
Aqueous Whetstones (sets of 9)
Peacock Ore (sets of 9)
Petrified Log
Scheelite
Smoked Bacon

#

converting seals to gil seems like a waste of time, but i guess once you have nothing left to buy, that is all that's left

obsidian patio
#

Ventures is an option too if you think you don’t need more Gil

placid girder
#

what are they, they have no tooltips

obsidian patio
#

It’s a currency used to send retainers out on trips for items

placid girder
#

oooo my gathering skill is level 10 doesnt seem worth it

obsidian patio
#

They can be combat classes

placid girder
#

but ill be levelling it soon so ill grab a stack of those to start

#

gathering was the way to go from what i understood

obsidian patio
#

Sometimes monster materials can sell for a lot

#

And there’s always the “gambling” option of quick ventures

#

Which have a MASSIVE loot pool of potential drops

placid girder
#

what do you mean? i'm really not familiar with any of the retainer things

obsidian patio
#

It basically has every item in the game not from a savage raid, seasonal/limited time stuff, and current endgame gear.

#

Retainers can be sent out on missions of varying types.

placid girder
#

so like do you choose mission length for them or something

open coral
#

Yes and no.

placid girder
#

and spamming quick ones in hopes of a jackpot?

obsidian patio
#

There are two types of shorter missions you can send them on.

Hunting/gathering are 40 minutes to an hour long and let you pick specific items for them to gather, with their stats deciding how much they get back and how long it takes.

Quick venture is the aforementioned one I mentioned with a giant loot pool.

#

The longer option are exploration ventures which take 16 hours and can have semi-exclusive items in them, like minions and furniture materials.

#

!minion fat cat

Fat Cat

Born in an unmarked alley in an unnamed town, this poor creature had to hunt the mean streets just to stay alive...until learning that following retainers and feeding off the slaughter left in their wakes was a safer, easier way to a full belly.

Like this chonky lad

placid girder
#

hmm neat, well im gonna stop grilling you for info, i'm sure i can find a video or something that can explain the rest of this to me

#

i need it, i bought the fatter cat mount, i need the full set lol

open coral
#

Which reminds me that I really should send my retainers out on ventures again.

bronze narwhal
#

Does eternal bond wristlet ever have a discount? And when usually if it does?

obsidian patio
#

I don’t think it’s ever had a discount since it got added, so I wouldn’t count on it.

bronze narwhal
#

Oho thanks for the info

final steeple
#

how do i get approved iron sand?

obsidian patio
#

Assuming you just mined the stuff and exited the diadem, Talk to the guy near the NPC that takes you into the diadem

#

Note that he can’t approve all items at once so you may need to approve multiple times

obsidian patio
#

You get the approved materials by gathering them in the diadem and then approving them

#

Note that if it’s grade 1, 2, or 3, they’re outdated and can’t be gathered anymore

final steeple
#

i want grade 4

velvet idol
#

stopped playing after finishing shadowbringers.

is it ok now to go back?

pure story player

obsidian patio
#

@velvet idol yes.

#

Then go to the diadem to gather it.

velvet idol
#

when I play story mode is there lots of content? want to make sure before subscribing again hehe

obsidian patio
#

The story itself doesn’t have much battle content in it besides dungeons and story trials.

clever crag
#

can anyone confirm if you need to do 36 3.0/4.0 alliance raid for EVERY relic?

obsidian patio
#

Based on the text/dialogue in the quest, it not upgrading your weapon, and the fact it’s from Gerolt instead of his assistant, it’s likely a one-time quest

clever crag
#

hoping.. thank you

fast talon
#

when using a controller, is there still a way to access hotbars on my screen?

obsidian patio
#

PC hot bars, not directly

#

You’ll need to “click” the actions with virtual mouse

#

Or disable direct chat and use a USB keyboard

fast talon
#

I was worried that would be the case, tho if I'm close enough to my actual mouse that would be quicker.

#

I'm actually on PC, but trying out controller just to get a feel for it

tidal yarrow
#

what was the point of getting rank 10-15 in bozja before this last update?

simple shore
#

You need higher ranks to open the better fragments

#

So like the ones that give the pink potions

#

the Deep ones

#

or other similarly overpowered stuff

tidal yarrow
#

ooh okay

#

should I watch a guide before queuing for castrum?

#

or is it straightforward

faint flare
#

Its pretty easy

tidal yarrow
#

like ngl, i often die in the critical instances as well

faint flare
#

Castrum is just a large 24man

tidal yarrow
#

i see

simple shore
#

Gonna have to disagree here

simple shore
#

Watching a short guide beforehand is advisable

#

if only so that you dont do a few things that can just actively hurt the group

tidal yarrow
#

yeah sounds fair

#

ima take a look

simple shore
#

looking at you first timers who jump up to Lyon when there's already a team

faint flare
#

Thats the only thing really

tidal yarrow
#

and maybe ill watch a guide for the Red chocobo too to not die 3x everytime

simple shore
#

The red choco, honestly

#

There's only one "trick" to it that people dont understand

#

Well, two

#

First : When its the cross-AoE section with the rotating red circles

#

stand in the center until the cross AoE goes up, but pay attention to where the red circles are. when the cross AoE goes up, two of the four 'safe spots' will have a red circle in it at that time. move to THOSE safe spots.

#

Second : when its the rotating meteor markers, position yourself against the wall halfway between the first two, and then ignore what anyone else is doing and dont get baited by the extra markers. wait for the first set to come down, then rotate along the wall to match the next set.

#

Especially on Red Choco dont follow other people because people like to use Reflect on it to be immune to the attacks

tidal yarrow
#

oh i see.. it's a bit hard to visualize since i did it only twice yet, im only rank 10.
what's reflect?

simple shore
#

lost action

faint flare
#

!action Lost Reflect

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Lost Reflect** : lvl 0 PLD MNK WAR DRG BRD WHM BLM SMN SCH NIN MCH DRK AST SAM RDM GNB DNC (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

tidal yarrow
#

so you can invuln that whole mechanic?

simple shore
#

Yes

faint flare
#

Yes

tidal yarrow
#

pog

#

time to buy

faint flare
#

You'll still get vuln stacks

#

But

#

You'll take no damage

tidal yarrow
#

yeah sounds pretty cool

#

i haven't spent any fragment or books yet

wispy parcel
#

forest lark
#

Why cant I take treasured mother quest from brangwine

#

I compmeted ponze, labor of love, method in his malice

#

But treasured mother is not showing up

#

There is npc brangwine, but no quests from him

green grail
#

forest lark
#

Hmmm i did do one treasure hunt for relic quest for alexandrites

left cedar
#

Can you still get memories for the new relic in bozja even if you don't have your relic equipped?

forest lark
#

Ohhh

#

There is one man trqsh

#

But i thought it wasnt important so I avoided it thx

#

Wow

#

They werent kidding when they said this step is called "wtf where did my money go"

obsidian patio
#

400k Gil :)))

#

And however much the 8 HQ token items are

elder locust
#

I recruited a friend, can anyone tell me what that gives him on his new character? I can't remember if that gives him an EXP boosting item, and if it does ill need to tell him to equip it.

green grail
simple shore
#

I can confirm this is true

#

I have been farming Bozja/CLL on MCH and getting WAR memories.

open coral
#

People have been farming alliance raids for them as BLU, so yeah.

ocean acorn
#

Hiya guys, i haven't played the game since Stormblood but recently i've been getting a craving of playing it again after i got bored of wow community. I already have shadowbringers since i prerdered it. The last time i played i was doing the yotsuyu questline i think. The question i have is, how much stuff do i need to do to catchup with current content ?

open coral
#

About... half of the post-Stormblood quests, I think? Yotsuyu was more or less the middle of that content.

simple shore
#

That was patch 4.3 yes.

#

so you have 4.4/4.5 to do before reaching ShB

open coral
#

So you're looking at maybe 15-20 quests, depending on how far you got

ocean acorn
#

The content is not gated by anything right ?

simple shore
#

No

#

Well

open coral
#

ilvl

simple shore
#

Yeah thats basically it

open coral
#

For the instances

ocean acorn
#

Okay nice. Thanks for the help

open coral
#

But you can easily exceed that with Scaevan gear, which you can buy with poetics

scarlet arrow
#

if you have the augmented scaevan gear you're set (and you can buy with poetics if you don't)

tidal yarrow
#

how often does castrum spawn?

strange coral
#

Every hour

tidal yarrow
#

okay thanks

you get eurekan fragments from chests for getting elemental bonus onto the eureka gear and the demi-ozma mount from the achievement for clearing it
