or right click the item and "search for item"

if you have one and are looking for more

#

hey im a bit confused. lvl 70 whitemage confession, how exactly does that stuff work? it says it grants a stack of confession which triggers additional healing, but then on the internet there people saying it actually uses up confession stacks?

raven sage
#

It's just a buff for a few seconds

green grail
#

it's just a healing potency buff

raven sage
#

There might have been stacks before? But not since shb for sure

green grail
#

confession stacks were stormblood crap

dusky nest
#

ah ok so basically: use it then heal and you heal more

raven sage
#

Yeah

small marsh
#

SHB came out July 2019 anything before that might not be up to date

green grail
#

the stormblood version was like horoscope that upgraded 3 times or something gigabrain like that

small marsh

In terms of guides you read online etc

@scarlet arrow so if i decide to do crafting can i get better gear from that then from leveling dungeons and from story?

surreal rapids
#

I hadn't read the spell after the change, so I was using confession all wrong for a while...

scarlet arrow
devout karma
#

@scarlet arrow i kinda wanna know if its rewarding enough to put my time in cos i played some mmos and i have done crafting but it wasnt worth the time most of the things i could buy off auction house or it just didnt bring any upgrade to my gear/power

scarlet arrow
#

actual crafted gear is basically only relevant at the level cap

#

crafting housing items/glamour gear/minions is where the real money is made

devout karma
#

or atleast if it gives any glamours that you can obtain thru crafting?

#

Thanks for help ❤️

scarlet arrow
#

also keep in mind that crafting in FFXIV is not something you do on the side, it has its own classes, skills, quests, endgame content, etc.

I’m lv 66 (I already have a lv 80 job) what should I be doing in between dungeons. I feel like I’m wasting time just standing waiting to queue.

oak ice
#

You can do FATEs or sidequests or even consider leveling crafters

magic wren
#

Okay thanks

strange coral
#

Kojin and Ananta beast tribes if you haven't already done them for the day

edgy dune
#

Why do people grind out relic weapons when you can craft and buy a higher item level weapon for debatably less grind?

little swift
#

Shiny weapon

#

Also it surpasses crafted later into the expansion

hot eagle
#

ppl do a lot for glamour, be it eureka or bozja, arr/hw relics also if you are waiting for new content and don't have much left to do

little swift
#

Crafted will never be bis

#

And since many players won't do savage

robust crow
#

crafted gear is mainly a catch-up/starting set of gear to enter savage

little swift
#

Relic is a fine alternative choice

robust crow
#

truthfully i500 is enough to do e9s, which is this tier's first boss

#

i510 is overkill

#

but some players need that overkill

nova umbra
#

can you switch grand companies immediately, or is there a cooldown after doing it?

little swift
#

500 will be enough for the normal content left this expansion

#

15 day cooldown @nova umbra

hello, i'm new to ffxiv, and from south-east asian. is there any fellow SEA player here? which datacenter should i choose?

little swift
#

Lots of sea players

#

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
little swift
#

Typically sea players pick the Japanese server

kind finch
#

who tf thought making a a white mage throw rocks for 80 levels was a good idea

edgy dune
#

Huh?

little swift
#

Tonberry/kujata are the English speaking servers

If you don't have any actual question

Hello all, I’m a ninja and I want the elemental gloves and boots. How do I get them? I know it’s eureka. But what do I need to do to get them? I want them to glow also

robust crow
#

buckle up

#

you need to do all of level 1-60 in eureka

worthy basin
#

sea player here, and yeah kujata/tonberry is your best bet.

robust crow
#

in the level 35-50 zone in eureka, you get crystals with every fate you complete

#

you need hundreds of these crystals to craft the elemental armor +0

#

you need to get it to +1 before it will glow

#

to get it to +1, you need to do lots and lots of fates in the 50-60 eureka zone

#

in addition to all this, you need to discover almost all of the eureka skills starting from the 35 zone

#

which may cost potentially a few hundred thousand gil

tired trellis
#

Do HQ items for Levequests also give double the exp?

faint flare
#

Yes

robust crow
#

bear in mind level 1-60 in eureka can potentially take a month or longer depending on your pace

#

CAn you private message me these. So I can look back for future reference please

static steeple
#

Should I be maining one job until I beat the msq or running one of each type? Does it really matter? Right now I got a lancer at 34 and a tank at 25 but no healer

little swift
#

It doesn't matter

torn canopy
#

wait, i've seen this in the website, so we can change our data center anytime, as long as it is in the same country? am i get this right?

#

Question, can you buy a dark knight's journey for a brand new character who hasn't done the MSQ yet? or do you have to buy the adventure and the dark knights journey?

stiff crystal
#

What’s the best stat allocation for the new PLD relics?

small marsh
#

The MSQ gives you enough exp that if you also do your leveling roulette everyday but not grind outside of that, you can basically raise 3 jobs simultaneously

leaden ginkgo
#

Is squadron dungeons worth it to level up alt jobs?

little swift
#

Play what you want but the msq usually funds enough exp to level a couple of jobs for a while

small marsh
#

If you level 1 job only you will be like 15 levels over leveled

#

The game is basically designed to have fast leveling as to encourage multiple jobs

static steeple
little swift
little swift
small marsh
#

I recommend leveling 3 jobs, mostly even, with 1 job at least 1 level ahead of the others at any given time. Do your 1 leveling roulette per day. Then prioritize MSQ

#

I let my weaker jobs soak up the passive MSQ rewards

halcyon radish
#

That sounds like it would've been a good idea had I known that two or three months ago

#

small marsh

Weaker as in less geared

candid girder
#

how do the purple quest markers differ from the regular ones?

halcyon radish
#

the blue quests?

nova umbra
#

so... weird question... since it's pretty hard to find someone to recruit and none of my friends are interested in playing mmorpgs, is the only way to get the 3 recruit-a-friend mounts by having a second account?

small marsh
#

Blue? The blue ones mean they unlock content

candid girder
#

@halcyon radish yes

#

got cha

small marsh
#

Dungeons, trials, raids, or something cosmetic like emotes, glamour items,

halcyon radish
leaden ginkgo
#

@little swift If I just wanted to unlock squadrons & jump straight into trying to level with them, would that be possible? Or would I have to do a bunch of stuff beforehand like level them, etc?

#

Kinda sick of PoTD/HoH for DPS so... Hoping to find something else temporarily to level with

nova umbra
#

do people actually go there though? 👀

little swift
#

You have to complete the first flagged mission to advance the squadron to rank 2 before command missions become available @leaden ginkgo

#

Thats not intended to be a quick process

leaden ginkgo
#

How long should that take?

#

Ahhh... Fuck

small marsh
#

It takes 18 hours to do the flagged mission

little swift
#

Its been a while since I touched squadrons

small marsh
#

But it will take several days or a couple weeks

little swift
#

Regular missions are 18 hours too

small marsh
#

To level them them lv1 to 40

#

The first flagged mission is lv40

#

Honestly squadrons in dungeons suck

little swift
#

You only need them to be lv20 to do first flagged

#

40 is for the second one iirc

small marsh
#

I would rather just queue up for leveling dungeons with people

#

And find stuff to do during your queue times

#

Beast tribes, crafting, gathering, etc

stiff crystal
#

Anyone able to help with stat allocation on new relic?

little swift
#

What job

stiff crystal
#

PLD

faint flare
#

Follow your melding priority

little swift
#

If you plan on using the relic its fine to cap out 2 stats like crit/det and then funnel a bit into the third

#

Crit > dhit > det for paladin

#

If you skill speed already good

stiff crystal
#

Ty

gray saffron
stiff crystal
#

Should I go speed over tenacity?

faint flare
#

If you need it yes

#

You can drop speed elsewhere in your gear if you have too much

shadow sedge
shadow sedge
#

They don't even try to disguise lol

stiff crystal
#

DH isn’t an option, so I’ve maxed crit and det, then I can pop the remainder in speed

small marsh

Nice names

Thanks guys

#

do you know the best place to get gashyl greens?

remote lintel
#

brugaire consortium is the one I remember

fresh wing
#

im resistance rank 10 in bozja but i had no idea what lost action are lol, anyone can reccomend which one do i need for dps or samurai in general

remote lintel
#

in main cities

mild lark
#

okay cheers

left moth
#

an action like Bloodsucker isn't available yet otherwise would want it more since extra dps and self sustain

fresh wing
#

@left moth probably extra dmg

scarlet arrow
#

alternatively if you're worried about dying run Platebearer essence

left moth
#

lost focus and slash are a good dps pair (of duty action-actions)

#

platebearer like effects are good for learning although wont do much than protect from death to an extra hit in an aoe

azure frost
#

So I recently finished stormblood and I was told that one of the sidequests gives you access to this zone called Eureka, which is supposed to be like an alternate progression, mmo within an mmo kind of thing. My question is, as someone who enjoys collecting things like mounts/minions and engaging in harder content close to the way it was originally intended, would it be worth bothering sith Eureka? Because I know that in Shadowbringers they added another zone that's supposedly like Eureka, so I'm unsure if I'm just going to waste time.

remote lintel
#

I don't think people do baldesion so

twilit arch
#

people do still run BA

#

atleast on NA they do

left moth
#

eureka is 5.x relic weapon and optional. it still has a lot of grinding even with echo but also has exclusive minions/mounts so it's a matter of if really want it

remote lintel
#

also I wouldn't call eureka hard

#

just very grindy

gritty oracle
#

If I diamondback phantom flurry, will I survive the big final hit? Devour+Dragon Force+Chelonian and dodging the big hit still brings me below like 25% HP and I feel bad for my healer.

azure frost
#

I mentioned the harder content thing just give more of a perspective to what kind of player I am, so I wouldn't just be asking if it was worth doing with no context, bit thanks for clearing that up. Much appreciated

gritty oracle
left moth
fresh wing
#

oh do i need to keep apraising forgotten fragment to reuse the skill?

gritty oracle
#

diamondback nullifies "most" knockbacks

fresh wing

or i just need to get them once

Does the balance have bis BLU yet?

#

Or does anyone here know

sour ruin
#

What would be some fun Valentines inspired gifts for my fc? There aren't many in it so a slightly higher budget would be fine

twilit patrol
#

how do i increase the level for daily duty roulettes like leveling and guildhest?

#

and should unlock all optional dungeons like halatali ?

honest anvil
#

you mean leveling? It’s always 16 psure

twilit patrol
#

yeah that

#

thanks

twilit arch
#

the level indicated in the menu is not the lvl of the dungeon you'll get when you queue for the roulette

#

its the min lvl you have to be to queue up for that roulette

#

and yes, no reason to not unlock the side dungeons seeing as it'll give you more options for the roulettes

twilit patrol
#

got it 🙂

honest anvil
#

unlocking all dungeons anw too; for both fun and faster queue time

twilit patrol
#

also is it me or gearing up warriors is much easier than casters?

#

i main summoner and my glad 24 glad is mych better geared that lvl 40 summoner thanks to dungeons 😄

twilit arch
#

Not really

open ember
#

You probably got lucky with caster gear

#

Compared to tank gear

twilit arch
#

dungeon drops are rng, though you're assured a gear from the end of the dungeon (if its a leveling dungeon)

im considering buying 14 on my pc. If I buy it on steam, do I just log into my main account and add it onto my service account which my ps4 version has it tied to

#

also my sub would pay for both platforms its not 2 subs is it?

remote lintel
#

yes you log into the same account on steam

#

and yes it's 1 sub

hazy flint

ah sweet thank you, I am on the move so I thought I would get it on pc

so I have both

wheat pulsar
#

How do I know when I've completed the Level 10 quest? I am Level 14 right now, and just been doing main quests, but I still can't learn any crafting
]

twilit arch
#

if you've just been doing the main scenario quests, then you probably haven't done your lvl 10 class quests

#

below the main scenario quest tracker, there should be a second quest name

wheat pulsar
#

would that be the gladiator guiild quest line?

twilit arch
#

like this

wheat pulsar
#

ahhh ok

limpid lynx
#

hrm, I did a 1-50 potd run it seems that my aetherpool weapon is +12, which is right below the 51-60 cutoff of +13. Since it seems that silver chests no longer do anything to my weapon in question, is there any way for me to like, actually get myself to the cutoff other than to run 1-50 all over again and hope I get more silver chests this time?

left moth
#

In that example way of the lancer is the class/job quest available

limpid lynx
#

the most irritating thing is that my aetherpool armor's at like +18 or something

wheat pulsar
#

oh, yeah just checked the journal for the quest in my UI

#

seems to be Level 10

little swift
wheat pulsar
#

yeah, i've been trying to make sure i dont skip the guilds or crafting early on

but man is there a lot of stuff happening lol

left moth
lusty jungle
#

will the post shadowbringers stuff be added to new game plus before 6.0?

left moth
#

Likely in 5.5

twilit arch
#

just to let you know, crafting/gathering is entirely optional

lusty jungle
#

also is the story pretty much done until 6.0?

little swift
#

Nope

twilit arch
#

you don't have to worry about it at all if you don't want to. tbh its also recommended to level them when you're 80 as it'll be a lot easier

little swift
#

2 more story patches to lead in to 6.0

#

5.5 and 5.55

left moth
#

We're in transition mode msq wise for 6.0 story

lusty jungle
#

okay nice so if it gets added in 5.5 i can just get caught up before i do that msq?

#

i skipped everything and regret it big time i wanna know how we get to the moon

left moth
#

We dont know that yet in game

lusty jungle
#

right i just wanna be caught up for when 6.0 drops

#

but was worried post 5.0 stuff wouldnt be added ot ng+ by then

left moth
#

5.5 msq will probably hint it more otherwise the moon stuff is trailer material only

lusty jungle
#

nice ty!

unreal folio
#

so i heard about the Bozja instance areas and just wondering if thats the most efficient ways of leveling nowadays from 70 to 80?

twilit arch
#

dungeons are still going to be better

crystal bluff
#

if youre a dps and dont want to wait for queues its alright

twilit arch
#

but if your queue times are 15+minutes, then bozja is gonna be pretty decent

oak ice
#

It's less effective than trusts, yeah. But then again, fuck trusts

faint flare
#

Bojza is pretty damn good for levelling however

crystal bluff
#

also allows you to earn mettle for later

faint flare
#

And the rare occasional memory for relic

unreal folio
#

sounds good. Thanks!

#

i just need to just kill 2 birds with one stone on this one then

before bozja instances die down >.>

got to level 50 not its aleast 1 million exp per level? thats like 25 main quests for me right now FML

wintry chasm
#

The patch quests don't give a lot of XP on purpose

crystal bluff
#

once you hit HW quests it catches up

#

if youre overleveled consider levelling a 2nd class

oak ice
#

You're in the patch quests that didn't use to give any exp, since they're level cap quests

wintry chasm
#

You're not meant to get a lot of XP from those quests, as Bro said the HW quests will give a lot more

Never trust in-game messages with links. Ever.

support can help, after that's done I'd highly recommend using the 2 factor app they offer.

could the wifi be it?

vernal tangle

unlikely. contact support.

If you went to a link that was posted in-game and this happened shortly afterwards, you are probably compromised. Only SE can help you now.

jade lava

oh no

where do i contact?

vernal tangle
#

under the login restriction section.

little swift

Just gotta change your password and get otp

is there any easy way to make a loft in an apartment?

twilit patrol

is it hard to get lieutenant rank in gc?

faint flare

No

#

Ranking is easy

twilit patrol
#

whats the best way of getting it?

faint flare
#

Just seals and do your hunting log for the company

little swift
twilit patrol
#

just hunting log is enough ?

#

seals are easy

faint flare
#

You'll need more seals

twilit patrol
#

i need like 15k for outfit

faint flare
#

Each rank requires some

surreal rapids
#

@little swift ah, so otherwise it'd be an empty floor, then?

faint flare
#

Plus ranking up unlocks expert delivery to let you turn in dungeon drops

twilit patrol
#

omg.

little swift
#

Yes lofts mount onto walls pretty easily

twilit patrol
#

so seals = exp for rank

#

damn i neglected my roulette leveling

#

for past 2 days

scarlet arrow

you need to spend that many seals

faint flare
#

Yes you buy the rank

twilit patrol

thanks

Do you get gil back for releasing an apartment?

there's also a decent first-time poetics reward for doing a 50/60/70 dungeon for the first time

manic flare
#

i dont think poetics are required to do rank up

#

but i could be misremembering

little swift
#

Braneric is saying you could use poetics to trade in gear to trade for seals

gritty oracle

Can anyone point me to "the Skysteel workshop"? I'm trying to do my skysteel final step, but the quest is bugged. The hand-in location is not marked on the minimap or when I open the map, and when I click on the quest to see, it points me roughly to the Congregation of Knights. Then when I click on the Foundation map, the marker disappears.

Head to your equivalent of C:\Users\Vie\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn. Then, you'll see a bunch of files named something like "FFXIV_CHR004000174BAC365E". Cut and paste it to your desktop. The game should try and succeed to make a new one. Mind that unless you back it up to the cloud and download after, your hotbars will all be lost.

do we still have to do secondary job levels

If it fails, you can still put the old config file back, but if you succeed, just yeet it to the trash bin.

quick question, if I wanted to opt out of crafting can we still make money from weird mods like palace, tower, and eureka?

#

or did they not add some viable form of money making?

remote lintel
#

not those but yes

#

treasure maps

signal aspen
#

is that content doable through party finder or duo?

remote lintel
#

signal aspen
#

thank ya

signal aspen
#

so lemme confirm, to do crafters to the full extent, you can have 1 or 2 assigned as the primary and leveled if you wanted to main a specific craft? or would leveling all them give you a passive

Does the road to 70 buff end precisely 90 days (like, exactly 2,160 hours after you create the character provided the buff period is over) or is there anything that extends it (other than the buff period still being active--for instance, maintenance?)

#

I have the exact day it would end if it's precisely 90 days but I am wondering if there is anything that might extend it. If it works, for instance, like house demolition in that it's only counting time the servers are up?

#

Sorry I know this is a vague question that few people will think or ask about. But I'm curious!

green grail
#

it stays active for as long as the server is preferred > or at least 90 days from chacter creation

hasty pagoda
#

So it's exactly 90 days?

#

The buff period is over so that won't extend it for me

green grail
#

or as long as the server has the preferred status

elfin edge
#

For E9S Happy Brambles, for the towers (2nd forest) phase, is it always Tanks/Healers North and DPS South?

green grail
#

since they only change with maintenance, if you have road to 70 on a preferred server it'll stay till most likely april 13th and 5.5

hasty pagoda
#

Also it is exactly 2x experience for all sources isn't it? Provided you are under level 70

hasty pagoda
#

Oh so it only changes on maintenance?

#

What do you mean?

#

Like it ends with a major patch?

elfin edge
# faint flare Yes

awesome, thanks; I got confused because there's no tethers so I wasn't sure if everyone just agreed to a particular orientation

hasty pagoda
#

90 days from character creation for me is February 19thish

#

So that buff will stay active for that alt for a while after that exact day potentially?

twilit arch
#

basically when a patch/maint happens, there's a chance that server status can change

faint flare
#

Server status changes on maintenance

hasty pagoda
#

Oh.

#

No the server status has been over a while

faint flare
#

You lose the buff if the server loses preferred status

hasty pagoda
#

My server is Mateus and it was a fluke it was ever preferred to begin with

twilit arch
hasty pagoda
#

The buff is still active because it's within 90 days

twilit arch
#

i mean, if SE decided it needed to be preferred status then it wasn't a fluke

hasty pagoda
#

I'm being tongue in cheek ^^;

twilit arch
#

but regardless, if the server status has changed before your 90 days are up

#

then at the 90 day mark, it'll go poof

hasty pagoda
#

So it's exactly 90 days, nothing extends it like things do with housing demolition?

twilit arch
#

nothing extends it

hasty pagoda
#

Thank you then that's what I expected

#

I can live without it, it's just an alt... but I want to make sure I get as much out of it as I can

#

I can at least powerlevel my crafting and gathering

tight abyss
#

@gritty oracle imma ask for ur help tommorow again cuz is installing

hasty pagoda
#

Also, I'm stating the obvious but that road to 70 is a flat 200% experience boost to all sources isn't it?

#

I mean that in the sense that, every source of experience is doubled multiplicative not additive

#

It's hard to find information on how it works but that seems to be it

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

remote lintel
#

oh

#

road to 70

#

its +100%

hasty pagoda
#

I mean a +100% boost

#

Not a +200%, 200% total

#

As if it would be triple, that's crazy o.o

scarlet arrow
#

'just' double

hasty pagoda
#

It stacks with the armoury bonus though

#

It stacks with everything I think...

elfin edge
#

I think armoury exp bonus is only for kills/crafts/gathers, right? (basically anything that can be affected by food 3% boost?)

hasty pagoda
#

I don't think armoury works for crafters?

twilit arch
#

armoury doesnt apply to crafters/gatherers

hasty pagoda
#

I mean they don't really need it thanks for restoration

elfin edge
#

I guess just kills then?

hasty pagoda
#

Virtually everything is just kills

#

I don't think anything increases quest turn ins and the like except for this road to 70 thing

elfin edge
#

oh road to 70 increases quest exp?

hasty pagoda
#

That and roulettes of course

#

Yes it increases everything

augmented shire is highly recommended unless you're good with the msq handout equipment

Its ironworks of lv60

(even then there's a lot of missing equipment since sidequests are what gives accessories and the like)

and if you are a tank, you should sport full shire gear immediately

less important for dps and healer

vagrant moat

ooo alright

yeah im just a dps but will def get the gear then

left moth

(for reference the lv65 dungeon is where physical def ramps up for no reason so will want to replace equipment around then)

manic flare

well people going into the lvl 65 dungeon will be sporting at maximum ilevel 270 gear (which is shire gear), since the previous dungeon (shisui) gives ilevel 270 gear

It may not get 60 FPS at maximum graphics settings but it will probably be very good

#

The only thing I might say is that... ram is funny. 8 GB might not be enough 100% of the time ^^;

#

But it also might

#

I doubt it will impact you much

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait does this game have Monthly subscription required to play.

#

?

remote lintel
#

yes

twilit arch
#

yes

hasty pagoda
#

Also, having this game on an SSD instead of an HDD will dramatically improve load times in such a way that can't be expressed well enough

#

So if you have that option, I recommend it

#

I totally reinstalled my game for that and the difference was night and day for me

hasty pagoda
#

To access the full game, a subscription is required but they have multiple options. I think there is still one to play just one character at $10 a month? Or was it 12... either way this game is designed to be played entirely on one character so you can at least save money if you need to

#

($15 is required for 8 characters per server)

elfin edge
#

I think it's $12.99 per month for the cheaper subscription plan, but it's also average $12.99 per month on the more expensive plan if you buy 6 months at a time.

rough fossil
#

Ok I’ll give that a try!

hasty pagoda
#

Oh um, I never really thought about this before and it's a minor thing but... does taking both Choco Slash and Choco Drop result in a damage increase? Or do they share a cooldown or something else I am not thinking of?

twilit arch
#

so long as your chocobo is in free stance, it'll use all of the skills its learned

hasty pagoda
#

Will taking both abilities result in more damage than if you didn't?

twilit arch
#

yea, more damage skills means more damage done

hasty pagoda
#

I just ask because I've heard odd things about chocobos in the past

#

For instance I heard that taking choco medica will make the chocobo worse at healing for you specifically

twilit arch
#

that was fixed quite some time ago

hasty pagoda
#

Oh good!

#

So then there's no downside except for extra enmity?

twilit arch
#

ayep

hasty pagoda
#

Does this also mean free stance will always result in higher damage than aggressive stance if you have all abilities?

twilit arch
#

chocobo's not really going to be able to pull aggro from you tho

hasty pagoda
#

Oh I know

#

It's not really a downside, even if it did somehow work ^^;

twilit arch
#

realistically there's no reason to put them in a specific stance, outside of healer stance if you just want them to focus on healing and not get hit tho in healer stance they put themselves right next to you so...

#

basically just keep them in free stance

hasty pagoda
#

Good to know!

#

I do know that healer stance can get them out of harm's way

#

I actually have a rank 20 chocobo on Mimia Mia, but I never thought much about it. So now that I'm playing with an alt I'm looking at things differently ^^;

#

I haven't played much since 5.4... so I haven't really looked into things in detail. How exactly has the change of the greased lightning mechanic affected specific monk abilities?

#

What has been removed or fundamentally changed?

obsidian patio
#

They basically play the same now, but they’re always at max stacks

faint flare
#

Tk is just damage

obsidian patio
#

A few abilities got changed to reflect the removal of GL

hasty pagoda
#

I am not being elaborate so I apologize

#

I mean to say that there were a lot of mechanics specifically designed to help with greased lightning stacking and maintaining and with that mechanic gone, these abilities have also changed

#

For instance perfect balance, even though it's the same as it was mechanically, I am sure is used differently to some extent now

faint flare
#

PB is your burst phase

obsidian patio
#

Perfect Balance has a longer duration but only works on 6 GCDs, meaning you no longer need to be a specific GCD to squeeze out an extra one.
Form Shift is basically Perfect Balance but only for one GCD
Anatman preserves Twin Snake’s timer now

hasty pagoda
#

Wait does form shift have a cooldown now?

obsidian patio
#

Nah it can still be spammed as desired

hasty pagoda
#

And does seven sided strike still exist?

obsidian patio
#

You just no longer need to use it multiple times to be in the right form

hasty pagoda
#

or whatever it was...

obsidian patio
#

Yes, it boosts Movement speed now

hasty pagoda
#

Oh!

#

One form shift fits all?

For instance, there is a quest where you bought lentels and chestnuts for an npc, and you /soothe them instead now.

obsidian patio
hasty pagoda
#

I mean that one isn't in 2.1 but there are little things like that too

obsidian patio
#

I’m pretty sure most if not all of the filler quests went poof entirely.

hasty pagoda
#

It's not just cut quests but also the quests themselves that are easier

#

Less tedious

scarlet arrow
#

you aren't missing anything

obsidian patio
#

But the majority of removed quests had very little actual movement of the plot

signal aspen
#

is the overall leveling a new character experience faster because of this

obsidian patio
#

Yep

hasty pagoda
#

A lot faster

obsidian patio
#

New players also get a bunch of teleport tickets to go directly to the waking sands

signal aspen
#

I kinda love this, because I played during the release of the beta of arr, and did a lot of alts between all the expansions and the ARR is what always got to me.

hasty pagoda
#

The post patch content of ARR is notorious for being long winded and slow. It probably still is, but it will be less painful

obsidian patio
#

And Flying in ARR zones speeds up story progress

scarlet arrow
#

^

#

being able to fly makes 2.1-2.55 SO MUCH FASTER

hasty pagoda
#

The story will still be as strong as it used to be. If anything it's stronger because there are less distractions from the plot, I'd argue ^^

hot eagle
#

also arr got flying, you get some teleport tickets to vespa bay so yeah makes it a lot easier

hasty pagoda
#

The teleport tickets are a godsend

#

They are useful for more than just the MSQ too.

#

... actually is there a way to get more of them?

manic flare
#

if your home base is limsa lominsa, there's also a ferry that takes u directly to vesper bay

not sure if this was recently added or not

obsidian patio
#

They’re only given through the story so no

hasty pagoda
#

That's how you used to have to get there the "quick" way

#

And it's for all cities

#

It's not a Limsa Lominsa perk ^^;

warm snow
obsidian patio
manic flare
hasty pagoda
#

No

#

But you don't have to be from Limsa to use it

manic flare
#

to vesper bay i mean

#

sorry

obsidian patio
#

If you have short times then that route is better. If you have long times then teleporting to horizon is faster

hasty pagoda
#

I don't think there are any perks that require you to belong to a city to use actually

signal aspen
#

do you remember how overtuned the story quest were when ARR was in the beta

#

I kinda liked them

hasty pagoda
#

Your loading time would have to be rather slow to make teleporting to Horizon faster, but it wouldn't require much for it to be similar

#

That said!

#

Now that we have flying that may no longer be true

#

So this is antiquated advice, sorry ^^;

manic flare
#

couldn't have been that long

hasty pagoda
#

It's just a question of how long it takes to teleport to Limsa Lominsa which depends heavily on how many players are there

#

Also if there is a significant delay teleporting to the arcanist guild I suppose!

manic flare
hasty pagoda
#

Yes

#

If it takes you 30 seconds to load up Limsa Lominsa it could quite easily be longer than just riding there from Horizon

twilit arch
#

its been tested before

manic flare
#

tbh, the only reason i have limsa as my home base is because of that ferry

twilit arch
#

that unless your loading times are very good, that taking the ferry to vesper bay and teleporting to horizon and running are basically the same

hasty pagoda
#

Limsa is also the only city with it's main Aetheryte right next to the market board

obsidian patio
#

Yeah it takes a minute and 20 seconds for me to teleport to Limsa next do the stuff to take the boat

manic flare
#

yea that's another good reason too

hasty pagoda
#

You didn't think it's so popular just because people like pirates, did you? ^^;

manic flare
#

i thought it's because ppl wanted to rp there

hasty pagoda
#

Ul'dah is the RP hub for the most part

manic flare
#

at least in crystal

hasty pagoda
#

Quicksand in particular

manic flare
#

not sure how much goes RP stuff igoes on the other NA datacenterss

hasty pagoda
#

I have not seen much RP in Limsa at all... but lots of people performing!

scarlet arrow
#

the limsa aetheryte is good for people-watching on any datacenter

hot eagle
#

limsa is liked because of the mb near the aetheryte

hasty pagoda
#

It really is, which is why so many people perform there

fossil owl
#

Yeah Limsa for MB

hasty pagoda
#

It's also a gorgeous city state although I still prefer Ul'dah's architecture.

signal aspen
#

Ul'dah best ARR

twilit arch
#

this is starting to become more discussion-y than answering a question

hasty pagoda
#

Sorry.

lusty jungle
#

no fun allowed in questions 😠

manic flare
carmine goblet
hasty pagoda
#

Yes

manic flare
#

or are you restricted to the datacenter of your original chracter

signal aspen
hasty pagoda
#

I think you can play on any datacenter, even the Japanese and European ones

halcyon radish
#

yup

twilit arch
#

there's no restrictions on where you can make a character

#

the only character restrictions is how many you can have per server (and total)

hasty pagoda
#

Do they still have the subscription option where you only have 1 character you can play per server?

manic flare
#

i hope they make data center visits a thing in 5.5

hasty pagoda
#

They said that they are, we'll see

twilit arch
#

its something they have been wanting to do for some time

#

but personally doubt it'll be in 5.5

hasty pagoda
#

It will be more likely 6.0+

#

I could easily see that as a feature they cut from the initial expansion if time constraints occur or there are problems with it

#

And that strikes me as a feature where that could easily happen

manic flare
#

so i am on the chimera stage in my ARR relic weapon, how much farther does the questline go before i get a relic weapon

hasty pagoda
#

Let me look up a guide for you

manic flare
#

im thinking of canceling it

#

but i feel like i ve gone too far

halcyon radish
#

will this outfit continue to be available after the event is over now that it's on the store?

twilit arch
#

yes

halcyon radish
#

cool

hasty pagoda
#

You have a dungeon, beastman hunting, another trial, and then a run through all 3 hard mode primal trials from the 2.0 story

#

So that should give you a vague idea of how long it might take

#

(The beastman hunting part should not take long, and the trials are mainly about how long the queues take)

#

Wait can you still get that outfit from the event?

hot eagle
#

It's on mogstation now

twilit arch
#

can't get it from the event, have to buy from mogstation now if you want it

hasty pagoda
#

Oh

#

I misread the question

#

Typically seasonal rewards are put on the mog station one year after the event ends (when the event returns) and made available permanently

#

For how cute that outfit was, it is quite cheap. Does it have different default color options too or just the one? Not that it would matter but I am curious ^^;

polar hound
#

it's dyeable

hasty pagoda
#

Of course

polar hound
#

there was a blue/yellow/red variant offered during the event

hasty pagoda
#

I just mean that the original had 3 different outfits I imagine they didn't bother with that for the mog station since dying has the same effect

hot eagle
#

also all defaults versions are on mogstation

hasty pagoda
#

So they have all 3 versions even though it's a bit redundant?

halcyon radish
hasty pagoda
#

Interesting, thank you!

halcyon radish
#

ope didn't backread

leaden ginkgo
#

just unlocked dark knight and the lv 30 quest is wrecking me. im confused if im supposed to run into the fires but the fireball that spawns 1 shots me even on very easy mode.

little swift
#

the quest text tells you not to eat too many of them at once

leaden ginkgo
#

how many are you supposd to get then?

warped nest
#

You eat them to get buff

#

But too much will kill you

#

Your goal there is to... Iirc kill something

#

So focus on that

hasty pagoda
#

I don't remember but I think that the idea is to not get too many at once

#

I think you can ignore them entirely

#

I don't remember having issues on it

#

Sorry 😦

leaden ginkgo
#

was dying in the last room because taking too much samage then the fires kill me or a fireball kills me

Hello everyone, Can someone who's been playing since ARR tell me how relic weapons final state scale to endgame gear? Are savage weapons always BiS or is that only preference? Most people's opinion are very split on that topic.

hasty pagoda
#

Relic weapons probably will not surpass savage raid weapons from x12

#

In fact I'm certain they won't

modest igloo
#

i was hearing some people predict that the relic final stage with be BiS

#

at like 535

hasty pagoda
#

For everything else, they should be quite strong and pretty comparable though I think.

modest igloo
#

but im kinda sus of that

hasty pagoda
#

I guess we'll just have to wait and see

#

I think that's wishful thinking and I don't think that's ever been the case

#

I might be mistaken though...

modest igloo
#

some relics were BiS in 5.35

hasty pagoda
#

That was before 5.4 though, which had the actual best Shadowbringers endgame gear

#

And a big reason is because the relics had 5 materia slots 🙂

sly willow
#

I've seen some comments from back in ARR that the final zenith weapons have been better than T9 weapons? (though i dunno how stats and stuff compared back then especially since i joined past HW)

hasty pagoda
#

Zenith wasn't the final relic weapon

#

It was actually only the second relic weapon

sly willow
#

I dunno the exact names of the stage >< just the generall relic weapons back then

hasty pagoda
#

it may have been comparable to 2.0's endgame raid weapons but the final ARR relic did not surpass the best raid weapon I don't think... but I can't remember. That was before savage raids even really existed I think

fallow cave
sly willow
#

Well i guess it's really coming down to see what 5.5 will bring us. But 535 will be the final item lv for this expansion right?

slate arrow
#

530 + 535 weapon yes

hasty pagoda
#

Whatever the savage raid ||Eden|| weapons have are the best in the game

twilit arch
#

t9 would've been novus

hasty pagoda
#

I doubt relic weapons will reach 535

#

I really, really doubt it

twilit arch
#

which yeah, probably would've been better than t9 weapon since you could choose your stats

obsidian patio
#

They will in like 5.55

hasty pagoda
#

Is that confirmed?

twilit arch
#

also final step will likely be same ilvl as savage

#

generally are

hasty pagoda
#

Maybe things will change then

#

They are a lot of work to level up and I don't see a problem with it personally 🙂

slate arrow
#

Its always been this way yes

twilit arch
#

zeta was i135, lux 275, eureka 405

hasty pagoda
#

I don't recall them being better but maybe were on par after all?

#

I certainly am not a savage raider

twilit arch
#

by the time relic is same ilvl as savage gear, savage raids have already had months to get BiS

#

there's basically no reason for the relics to not be same ilvl

hasty pagoda
#

Well relic weapons have 5 materia slots too

slate arrow
#

not always

hasty pagoda
#

If the Savage raid weapons only have two it would make relic weapons better wouldn't they?

#

Not in the past, but it would be the case this time at least

twilit arch
#

definitely not always the case

obsidian patio
#

Those slots go away with the current step to give full customization of stats plus extra inherent stats

hasty pagoda
#

Oh okay

#

In that case it would not be better

sly willow
#

it's basically coming down to stat preference by then?

obsidian patio
#

The extra stats give them more than weapons of equal item level

sly willow
#

bc not everyone is a savage raider

obsidian patio
#

And not all edenmorn weapons have BIS stats

hasty pagoda
#

Stat preference makes things best in slot, it's more that it's an option that doesn't require you completing extremely hard content

twilit arch
#

the substats definitely will be the make or break difference between savage weapon and relic

solar surge
#

Which class uses the least amount of abilities? I know they all use a lot, but is there one that uses less than the others?

hasty pagoda
#

It's also something fun and cool to work towards 🙂

remote lintel
#

machinist

obsidian patio
#

Dancer probably

slate arrow
#

no, definitely machinist if we're going by total skill count

hasty pagoda
#

RDM has the smallest amount of abilities on their action bar if you are asking that

#

Samurai has the most

remote lintel
#

no machinist has less

hasty pagoda
#

Really? I'd have to check that

remote lintel
#

machinist has like 27 skills

modest igloo
#

i can fit everything and them some on 2 hotbars

#

everything important. heavy shot isnt

remote lintel
#

25 skills if you count rook/queen as the same thing since they upgrade

slate arrow
#

what

hasty pagoda
#

You're right actually

slate arrow
#

heavy shot isn't important

hasty pagoda
#

RDM has 27 vs Machinist's 25

slate arrow
solar surge
#

Alright, thank you

hasty pagoda
#

Most classes are easy to play though, there are only a few that are really confusing and difficult

#

at least relative to the others

#

Dancer is by far the easiest class to play regardless of how many abilities it has to press

#

This is simply because it has an ability to help you move quickly, this makes dodging 10x easier than any other class

remote lintel
#

a lot of classes have movement abilities

hasty pagoda
#

Not like dancer does

remote lintel
#

dancer just has a dashx3
