Hi so Im having trouble with creating a free trial square enix account for FFXIV on the Square enix website coming with the error code i2051 (Trust me ive tried everything even had a family member in america try ot make an NA account) If i use the steam app to purchase the FFXIV is it possible I wont have the error?

signal aspen
# remote lintel no

remote lintel
#

no

crisp prawn
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

and youve disabled any vpns and tried your phone browser and tried using your phone wifi hotspot

crisp prawn
#

Also for some reason Japan isnt a region option on the signup page? Nor is Taiwan

#

Ive tried my phone browser however never heard of using the hotspot

#

And yes ive disabled any vpns

Is BLU the kind of content that you can do at anytime or will it die down after the current amount of people doing it for the new abilities? I'm waiting to catch up on all the expansions before trying it

2051 is a very general error so its kinda hard to figure out

crisp prawn

do they have actual SE staff on there

?

remote lintel

no

#

just people more knowledgeable with tech

#

i guess not much people playing ff atm, im using AST and 9 mins queueing in level 80 dungeons

does anyone know where to get this furnishing?

twilit arch
#

mogstation, dreadwyrm miniture

leaden ginkgo
#

you can trade it via FC points

#

at this point retainers also get this from quick ventures so they get price warred on the MB anyway

twilit arch
#

its not tradeable

leaden ginkgo
#

oh oops i was thinking of the sculpture/bust

#

but the miniature should be obtained via FC points, the same place where you do your GC turn-ins and stuff like that

#

unless eorzea database is wrong

#

also, an actual question: for the newest resistance weapon quests, do you actually have to do the 15 runs of CT/void ark/ivalice raids for EACH weapon or do you do it only once?

worthy basin
#

can i upload my gear sets/hotbars from windows to playstation?

twilit arch
#

only once

#

for voidark/ivalice portion

the step with CEs or CT is repeated

should i buy exarchic?

robust crow

out of curiosity

#

does anyone happen to know off the top of their head

#

about how much DPS samurai loses if they miss every single positional

#

vs hitting all of them

robust crow
dapper oyster
#

also what is the golden yellow RP next to someone's name? or was it title?

remote lintel
#

@dapper oyster if you really dont want to farm

#

its their status

#

means theyre rping

robust crow
#

do you plan on going into savage raiding? may be advisable to get exarchic

#

are you going to stay a casual player? no need

remote lintel

@robust crow a lot

dapper oyster

rping? ._.
uh i read that very differently

dapper oyster
#

OH

robust crow
#

cerb do you happen to know approximately how much

#

like 10%?

remote lintel
#

no idea

robust crow
#

iirc dragoon loses like 5% ish

dapper oyster
#

i have 4 million gil and i wonder if i should get exarchic, each part of them is like... 50k?

robust crow
#

yeah maybe balance will be better

#

i'll check with the sweaty sams there

dapper oyster
#

but im pretty much casual...

robust crow
#

kyn, again, what do you plan on doing with it

remote lintel
#

if you really dont want to farm

robust crow
#

you can get full 510 gear from eden normals for virtually free

#

up to 4 pieces per week

remote lintel
#

plus a i510 piece from DR every week

robust crow
#

520 gear (better than exarchic) is purchaseable for revelation tomes but are limited weekly as well

#

if you are never going to do savage content then it's a waste of money

dapper oyster
#

my eden is 480, weird .-.

robust crow
#

i500 is enough for pretty much everything that isn't savage

raven lantern
#

are these unable to be inspected? i can't drag them in and auto submit won't detect.. or does it need to have a minimum stack?

eden 9-12 is 510

#

eden 5-8 is 480

Because Mor Dhona is the level 50 endgame area

So, if you don't nail your positionals for samurai at all, you are losing 5 kenki for Kasha and Gekko

yeah i went to the balance already

it's around 64 potency per missed positional

so around 2-3% DPS over a fight

What's the situation with mouse and keyboard software that let's you set up macros?

#

Is it allowed, within reason? Is it enforceable?
My logitech mouse software let's me set up a macro with timed key presses. I was think I could just buy a bunch of firmament mats, and just set a macro on my mouse to craft 40x something with an in game macro.

#

It's against ToS and if you get caught doing it, you'll likely get a suspension at minimum.

#

ah ok, that's good to know

#

i thought about this cuz yesterday i was camping a house for a little bit, and someone commented that everyone else was using bots

#

we tried to talk to them, but they never interacted
i kinda wanted to report them, but i could only report people for RMT or being rude
so i wasnt sure if this was allowed or not

simple shore
#

Anything that automates/emulates button presses or inputs is not allowed. That's not to say that people dont do it, but if you get caught doing it, the consequences tend to be severe.

Alright

#

I gots a question

#

I just hit Lv 30 on my Marauder, but I'm still a ways away from getting to Sylph Management, am I able to accept the Lv 30 MRD quest but not the Lv 30 WAR quest or do I need to do Sylph Management to be able to do either quest

simple shore
#

You should be able to do the level 30 MRD quest, but not the level 30 WAR quest, if i recall

dire prawn
#

So class quest will be blue but the job unlock quest will be red

simple shore
#

Should be, yes

#

Also Road to 70 is stupid exp gains

#

My Marauder and Rogue both are now at 30

If you manage it properly, its pretty easy to hit 70 on all jobs (DoH/DoL included) before Road to 70 expires

The Smith quest, that seem to be stages of showing off Tank Gladiator, does they give a big reward, or are just for people not grasping the games mechanics?

#

Also the other classes and crafting in cities that are not Ul'Dah, can I get to them early on, or do I just have to wait until I reach that point?

#

And finally...when switching classes between gladiator, and say a crafting class, can I save what I'm wearing? I keep ending up nude lol

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.

green ibex
#

so if it overcaps do i do it and put it and then go to the next. or do i not over cap and just go to the next one?

hi new here and can someone explains to me the fashion thing?

You should almost never overcap because its wasted stats

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

Basically you get points for matching items or dyes to some predefined list of things each week, and MGP based on how much matching you did.

There's generally a reddit post and a bot spam post that you can just follow rather than trying to figure it out for yourself

when do you get access to your mount? I just joined the flame order

simple shore

#
Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

hello, returning player playing RDM, i just finished Stormblood and I had some questions about gear, what should I take from now? I have a mix about trash gear (i273/285) and Rakshasa ones (ilv 380)

Should I look for Scaevan stuff using Allagan tombstones?

weak copper
#

70

dire prawn
#

Scaevan gear

simple shore
#

Yeah, Scaeven is the best you can get for now

inland scarab
#

any guide for 5.45 relic & skytools btw?

weak copper
#

Okay, thanks guys!

simple shore
#

No. You must beat all three attributes.

last tartan
#

they're all lv 70

#

i need clothes lv60 im still in trial

simple shore
#

sigh

#

Its in the post.

last tartan
#

ur gonna sigh again after i tell u this lol... i dont have 30,000 mgp

simple shore
#

You can buy the claws for 30k MGP, dye any chestpiece Chestnut Brown, and get back 60k MGP

#

Well, then your options are limited.

last tartan
#

but i think i can get it in one day

surreal rapids
#

Sorry to repeat my question:
Is there a confirmed minimum time before a plot can be bought?

last tartan
#

and im planning on getting them so its a win win

#

so wear anything and dye it but what about the earings and rings anything too?

simple shore
mild lark
#

why do we have to do the MSQ? 🛌

surreal rapids
#

you can always buy the conveniently priced skip :v

simple shore
last tartan
#

thnx

mild lark
#

how can you apreciate beingf end game in an mmo if you didnt work for it

surreal rapids
#

no, ts not

#

i was joking that the MSQ is nice to sell those skips

forest lark
#

5.5 is in april?

simple shore
#

5.5 is in April, yes.

forest lark
#

Oh my

#

Thats a long way to go

tawny quest
#

April 13

forest lark
#

Its nit even march

simple shore
# mild lark lol how much is that? also not a good idea tbh

Buying an MSQ skip is generally a pretty terrible idea when the game is so heavily based on the story. Plus you'd need to buy a job skip as well potentially to get high enough level to advance into ShB. People who do this on their first character generally have extremely bad experiences.

#

Because the net result tends to be someone who has no idea how to play their job being dumped into content that assumes you spent the last 70 levels learning how to play your job.

#

and other players tend to....not be particularly appreciative of that.

flat sail
#

yeah and holminster will NOT be kind to you

forest sage
#

to be fair though, if you put even minimal effort into learning your class, you really don't need 70 levels of mostly casual content where literally pressing one button will get you through first

#

you can easily be more competent at a class by just spending 10-15mins looking into it that you would playing it for the 120hours or whatever leading up to ShB(or well I guess you might get stuck on one of the solo instance near the end of SB that a lot of people complained about back when, not sure if they nerfed these)

slate arrow
#

The more experienced players and mentors of this reddit discord near universally all agree that buying skips are a terrible idea

#

Take that as you will.

simple shore
#

I disagree if its someone completely new to FF14, or more particularly, completely new to MMO's. There's basic knowledge that you gain along the way that you're just not gonna have. Someone with no context cannot just "look at a guide" and "get it".

nova umbra
#

what's the point of doing the ishgard fates?

forest sage
#

the fact you see people who have no clue about the game in ShB dungeons, even though they didn't skip, shows that the MSQ really doesn't teach you a whole lot, you're very very rarely forced to learn anything

#

because most of the content will either be overgeared, or someone else will cover for you

#

I'm not saying it's a good thing to skip

#

just that skipping doesn't necessarily make you a worse player

warm snow
slate arrow
#

@nova umbra basically just a big burst of Doh or Dol exp and scrips every now and then

simple shore
mild lark
#

since level 50 its been such a drag I swear 1-50 is the same time for me as 50-55

devout cargo
#

are the restoration fates permanent

simple shore
#

Nah. Each one is a one-time event as the restoration progresses on your particular server.

#

Once your server completely finishes restoration, it's gone for good

slate arrow
#

the celebration FATES are though

#

At least, as far as I'm aware

warm snow
devout cargo
#

Ah, I see. Thanks

warm snow
#

Once you actually start HW the exp gains will shoot back up

stable herald
#

Are tome gears automatically better than crafted stuff?

#

e.g. Cryptlurker > Exarchic

slate arrow
#

Always

stable herald
#

this assumes both are unmelded

#

Hrm. doesn't that mean that eventually, everyone starts the new raid (assuming no new crafted gear) with Tome gear?

slate arrow
#

since Shadowbringers there's no point to crafted gear once you can get tome and raid gear and yes

stable herald
#

Ah. Hrm. Bother.

#

I was hoping to find an excuse to craft Exarchic Casting gear, but im all kitted out in Tome gear

slate arrow
#

(back in stormblood, Bard used a few crafted pieces to max out Crit since repitoire proced on crit rather than 40% per DoT)

faint flare
#

Its money

slate arrow
#

Sell it

#

People buy crafted to skip straight to raids

mild lark
#

does magic damage scale with your main weapon?

faint flare
#

Weapon damage affects all form of damage

stable herald
#

Ye.. i just wanna craft it for glam

#

Cuz its pretty

faint flare
#

And your job main stat as well

slate arrow
#

Scales based on both your weapon damage, main stat depending on healer or caster, and some other stats

#

@stable herald then just do it

stable herald
#

but the process of gathering -> crafting JUST for glam aint worthit

#

for me, that is

slate arrow
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

stable herald
#

erm, current NM raid gear is also > crafted, right?

slate arrow
#

It's your glam

surreal rapids
#

@simple shore I GOT THE PLOT!!

slate arrow
#

It's better

#

Barely, since overmelds

simple shore
stable herald
#

I REALLY gotta find a website to easily compare stats

#

instead of tabbing back and forth

surreal rapids
#

faint flare
#

slate arrow
#

To clarify, crafted is 'better' than normal

#

But only with melds

faint flare

Or whatever that new site is

can i teleport to my plot the same way i can teleport to my apartment?

slate arrow

Just need a mini aetheryte

slate arrow

you'll need to buy a mini aetheryte for your plot

surreal rapids
#

ah ok

faint flare
#

Buy with seals

slate arrow
#

Either off the MB or with company seals

surreal rapids
#

im always capped on GC seals anyway xD

#

i never know what to do with the seals

slate arrow
#

And it'll permanently take up an outdoor housing slot which is annoying but the TP cost is always 50% off

fleet coral
#

hi. can you get memories from fates if you are below 80? e.g BLU?

hot eagle
#

yes

flat yew
#

how far can you quest on a trial account? I thought it only contains ARR but iirc I just finished that (got a credit roll and everything) but I still have more MSQs

fleet coral
#

i've finished 10 fates in a row and not one dropped

slate arrow
#

@flat yew All the way through the first expansion right up to the beginning of the second expansion

hot eagle
flat yew
#

are there some connecting quests between the two expansions then or are they after-credit ARR?

slate arrow
#

yes

onyx kiln
#

been thinking of redoing my house but what is a good way to start with that? got no space left from my retainers to hold items, the storage space in my house is almost if not full already and i cant sell of items of the MB once i have placed them down.

slate arrow
#

and by some, it's close to 80 quests and that's if you don't include the alliance raids which are required before you start Heavensward

#

@onyx kiln looks like you'll have to discard or vendor the stuff you don't want unless you want to buy another retainer

onyx kiln
#

what is the price for them again?

flat yew
#

oh damn, I thought I was close to finishing the trial haha

slate arrow
#

2 dollars every 30 days iirc

#

based on your current sub cycle

#

So it's only 1 dollar if you have 15 days left

surreal rapids
#

are there one 3 types of small estate?
i only see wood, stone and composite

#

are there more to unlock?

onyx kiln
#

if you mean the outward appearance of them then yes, there are more

slate arrow
#

You have to craft them either from regular synthetics or using an FC workshop

#

The latter of which requires a lot of materials

lilac flume
#

Is eureka synced to 70?

slate arrow
#

yes

faint flare
#

Yes

sorry again, any new guides for 5.45 relic & skysteels yet?

forest lark
#

What would you say is the MOST played job?

#

I se a lot of red mages

simple shore
#

That's largely dependent on the context of where you're asking

forest lark
#

Generally whole idk

#

Most played ffxiv job

simple shore
#

For example - i could point to FFlogs and say "Samurai has more parses logged than any other job"

#

for the current tier

#

Since everyone can be all jobs on the same character, i think this is the best way to measure it

forest lark
#

Yeah thqt makes sense

lethal forge
#

Hey guys, is it safe to buy the game while it's on sale and activate the code later when i hit lvl60, or will the subscription time start immediately ?

simple shore
#

Sub time only activates once code is applied

lethal forge

@simple shore ok thanks

for the emotes can I do halatali 10 times or does it have to be different missions?

marble drift

so you can match or undercut lowest

mild lark

is there an online resource for the prices?

marble drift

Just look it up in game, its easy. read the buttons

simple shore
#

Its better to check the price when you're in game

#

as it shifts rapidly all the time

marble drift

online resources are a step behind as they ask that people use 3rd party stuff to record the data

Do u really need to install a VPN to play this ?? What an unnecessary hassle

Yo! Free trialer here. Got my first class to 60 while in early HW, so I thought I would level a second one to not let that MSQ XP go to waste. I'm doing ARC, currently at lv15, however I'm unsure of what best methods I have to get through classes. Knowing I'm gonna be doing this over and over again, I wanted to ask how can I maximize my EXP income, when I've done all Sidequests I have access to and PotD queues are slow.

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

simple shore
#

A "less active time of day" tends to be between 5-7AM local time to that datacenter, just as a note.

winged pond
#

oh ok i understand

river summit

Yeah, I knew what I was getting into by playing this early today. Got my first go at PotD yesterday and it didn't even take 5 seconds to get a party.

Just thought I'd get something else to do for levels until then; hunting log is complete, MSQ's too high on level requirement, I cleaned the map from sidequests on my way through the story...

simple shore
inland scarab
#

my initial question is asking for both DoW/DoM & DoH/DoL tho

simple shore
#

They're two unrelated questions. Are you current on the combat relic, or have you not started it at all?

inland scarab
#

i want to do both

simple shore
#

Not an answer.

inland scarab
#

just guides for both, please, if any

left moth
#

do you have a recollection/500 weapon?

inland scarab
#

yes, both

#

updated as of pre 5.45

simple shore
#

Then you dont really need a guide. Just go to Gangos and do what the quest says to do.

#

You cant "farm anything ahead of time"

inland scarab
#

u can for DoH at least, the part where it need scrips, if any

simple shore
#

Okay, but as i stated, those are completely unrelated. There are zero similarities or crossovers between combat job relics and the crafter/gatherer skysteel tools

inland scarab
#

i always do weekly custom deliveries. would be waste if scrips can be used for them & i didnt prep beforehand

#

huh?

#

i'm asking for guides, not comparison

left moth
#

then for 515 combat you need to complete CLL/DR norm, spam labby/ST/WOD 15 times (or non existant drops in bozja), a one time quest where you do HW and SB alliance 18 times each (or bad fate rng), and then finally spam dr norm or potd to allocate stats

#

that's it. there is no guide

simple shore
#

Yeah that's my point. For DoW/DoM just....go to Gangos and follow what the quest tells you to do.

#

You dont need a guide to do that.

#

and i have no idea if a guide even exists for the skysteel stuff yet.

inland scarab
#

what about best way to farm?

#

i saw alot of syrcus/VA/rabanastre PF for example, but not others

simple shore
#

The new skysteel tools, for lack of a better way of saying it, are largely pointless and only for completionism.

inland scarab
#

achievements

left moth
#

I've made a macro for 5.45 relic crafts but since it's expert recipes that's usually a bad idea unless want to farm the diadem materials then shut off your brain

inland scarab
#

i do achievements

#

no scrips buying this time?

left moth
#

edit: yes at the npc. to use alc recipie as example

5     Approved Grade 4 Artisanal Skybuilders' Spring Water
5     Approved Grade 4 Artisanal Skybuilders' Raspberry```
simple shore
#

idk. im not bothering with it yet because it serves no purpose beyond looking nice.

inland scarab
#

i just found this on google, & seems like for DoH, there's still scrips spending, but it wasn't really clear how many u can prep in advance:

#

ok... i'm guessing there's no definitive guide yet, or ppl who can answers these completely not online yet. i'll ask later. thx tho

left moth
#

once the npc is unlocked then can gather mats in advance for multiple jobs but the recipies are quest locked iirc

#

I'll need to check if I can look at the recipies for jobs not named carpenter (for relic)

simple shore
#

It comes down to, because these tools were largely made "not relevant" once we knew the thresholds for the 5.4 crafts, and we know thats the last real recipes we'll get until 6.0, there's not going to be as many resources working on it.

so no reason to do it multiple times

The best way to level up HW jobs (30 to 50) is spamming dungeons around your level right?

for healers and tanks, yes

worthy rain

(The same applies to SBL and SHB jobs)

worthy rain
manic flare
#

potd

proud willow
#

Palace of the Dead

manic flare
#

also only leveling dungeons are good for exp

proud willow
#

repeating floors 51-60 and deleting your save after each run

manic flare
#

the level capped dungeons (level 50, level 60, and level 70 dungeons) are terrible for exp

worthy rain
#

Curious, why PotD doesnt apply also to tank and healer?

manic flare
#

because dungeons give more exp per run, and are more time efficient

#

but the dps queue times kill the efficiency

faint flare
#

Because tank/healer has quicker que times for dungeons

worthy rain
#

Ok!

mild lark
#

but you need to do the smq anyways though but that is so slow for leveling I played 5 hours day and got from 52 to 54

worthy rain
#

You mean there are within dungeons, distinctions?

manic flare
# worthy rain Ok!

so for HW, they are:

dusk vigil (level 51)
sohm al (level 53)
the aery (level 55)
the vault (level 57)
great gubal library (normal) (level 59)

any "max level" dungeon for a given expansion is shit xp

like 50, 60, 70

anything inbetween is fine

Big dumb question from someone who has paid absolutely no attention to Isgardian Restoration until a few days ago. After if finishes, what will go away? Will items like emotes that cost Skybuilders' Scrips be gone or will you still be able to earn them?

open coral
#

Everything that is currently in place for the Ishgardian Restoration will remain.

#

The only thing that went away were the leaderboard rankings.

mild lark
#

if im doing level 50 msq then does that mean i can move ontot he 1st expansion soon?

manic flare
#

it depends on which level 50 msq you are on

gritty oracle
#

If someone uploads their log and I'm in their group, do I also get the log on my account or do I have to upload it myself, separately?

manic flare
#

there's around 50-100 level 50 quests

gritty oracle
mild lark
#

the ultimate weapon?

proud willow
#

I think it's 80 after the squish

#

that's the final quest of 2.0

manic flare
proud willow
#

there are six patches of level 50 quests after that

gritty oracle
manic flare
#

to get to heavensward

mild lark
#

what the F?

#

for realz 😄

manic flare
#

dont worry it's all setting up for heavensard

proud willow
#

along with a ton of optional content, if you were looking for more to do

manic flare
#

the story gets quite good

gritty oracle
# mild lark ??? 80 ?

Just put an audiobook on, mute the background music and slog through it. Most of it is pretty uninteresting, but it gets better, I swear. And the other post-expansions are more interesting and short.

mild lark
#

so am I going though the end game content for the vanilla base game

proud willow
#

the 2.X patch content has been trimmed down

open coral
# mild lark ??? 80 ?

Basically, you're playing through the "post expansion" patch content from 2.1-2.55, which originally was released in pieces over the course of two years.

open coral
#

Every expansion has a similar setting.

proud willow
#

yeah, these are the quests that were added in the 2 years between release of the base game and release of Heavensward

#

often called "2.X"

mild lark
#

oh okay 🙂

open coral
#

For reference, we're currently in patch 5.4 of Shadowbringers.

proud willow
#

yeah, each of the expansions works the same way

#

they add more quests over the course of 2 years

mild lark
#

what happens when you finnish the smq you can do endgame stuff?

agile laurel
#

essentially, yes

#

you do side-content and gearing up

manic flare
open coral
#

No

agile laurel
#

that's... not true

#

there's so much more content after the msq besides that

open coral
#

There's more than just Savage/Ultimate when you finish the MSQ

obsidian panther
#

Leveling DRG - should I just vendor all my old gear...or should I keep if i Ievel a future job?

warped nest
#

Keep your level 70+ armors

forest sage
#

well future job isn't confirmed for maiming, and it'd start at 70, so eh

manic flare
forest sage
#

I'd maybe keep like malika well set or something and rebuy augmented scaevan

manic flare
#

unless you are absolutely sure you won't give your retainer a lancer job

warped nest
#

Pre level 50, you can keep a few Disciple of War armor

#

Afterward, only accessories are worth keeping because samurai and monk uses Strength accessories too

manic flare
#

but not dragoon?

warped nest
#

They are leveling dragoon

#

And is considering what to keep

#

So, they can keep Strength accessories for samurai/monk if they want to

#

And disciple of War armors for pugilist/monk or rogue/ninja

mild lark
#

what happens if you level without the SMQ

forest sage
#

you just can't do most content

winged pond
#

hi i am new and i have a green question mark in the middle of my screen is their a way to move it ?

forest sage
#

click on it to open it and it'll go away after

obsidian panther
#

thank you @manic flare and @warped nest

winged pond
#

i know that but i dont want it to pop up randomly

#

and be annoyingly in the middle of the screen

warped nest
#

It shows up when you discover a new gameplay mechanic

#

Like unlocking a mount

twilit patrol
#

can i use a weapon that has high level reqs for glamour and keep using it on new obtained weapons?

warped nest
#

Is the new weapon higher equip level or lower equip level?

twilit patrol
#

higher equip level

#

i am like 45 and the weapon has lvl 60 reqs

#

ah sorry , didn't read properly , probably will be lower

#

for a while

warped nest
#

You cannot make weaker weapons look stronger

#

This is determined by the Equip requirements (not item level)

obsidian panther
#

I also have a weird question on the "Best in slot" button on your specific class..

twilit patrol
#

i want to use the skin of the weapon

warped nest
#

Ask away, Tiger

obsidian panther
#

becasue it has 4 sets of stats and Stats > Armor?

faint flare
#

The top has higher main stat

warped nest
#

That button pick gear by prioritizing primary stat

left moth
faint flare
#

Recommend gear gocused main stat

obsidian panther
#

ah ok cool - thanks guys

warped nest
#

It is not by item level, it is by stat

#

Even if it appears to derp

obsidian panther
#

ok - thanks!

gritty oracle
# obsidian panther ok - thanks!

I say until you reach max level, listen to the "recommended gear" button. Even if it's slightly wrong, the difference won't be life and death. And most of the time it will be right.

mild lark
#

whats the recome3nded gear?

#

does that equip you best stuff for you?

manic flare
#

not always

mild lark
#

is that the idea though?

#

is that in the character screen?

oak ice
#

It targets main stat, not item level

#

It was asked as like the last question lol

mild lark
#

got it cheers

#

doe sit work for gathering proregression's too?

manic flare
#

yes

mild lark
#

thanks

manic flare
#

how do you get the fashion accessory to show up in battle?

little swift
#

You don't

gloomy ice
#

That’s the cash shop costume version. It’s attached to the chest piece

Trying to use the community finder to get new recruits for the FC I’m in, but says that I’m not allowed....really to make any community search posts. Any idea what I need to do to start

raven sage
#

You need recruiter status for your FC

#

I think it only defaults to leader so if you aren't that then you need to have the leader make you a recruiter from your FC page on the lodestone

cobalt pagoda
#

how hard it is to do EX trials as an healer? compare to Tank and DPS.

the reason I wanna go for EX as an healer is cuz I haven’t learn an proper rotation on Tank and DPS, I’m a lazy bun don’t hit >.<

final steeple
#

where is the seasonal store?

left moth
#

depends on if content just hits harder or has special mechanics that target healers specifically

cobalt pagoda
#

oh so just mechanics?

gritty oracle
#

As sch, am I supposed to be able to solo the cloud in E9S?

manic flare
#

also depends on if you're doing the EX as part of a static or with random people

left moth
# cobalt pagoda oh so just mechanics?

yeah ||good example is tsukumi ex meteors. by default one targets each role so the generally accepted strat is healers adjust to place their metero away in the fat side of the "moon"||

cobalt pagoda
manic flare
#

hard

#

ShB EX are quiite difficult

faint flare
#

Nah

manic flare
#

people actually do practice runs on PF

faint flare
#

Only Hades is challenging cause its long and there's more than 2 mechanics in thr whole fight

manic flare
#

is emerald weapon part of the ShB mounts?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Everything except Memoria is

manic flare
#

how long does hades take?

#

and is there an enrage/dps check?

faint flare
#

There's forced cutscenes and 4 phases so like what, 8-10mins+ a pull

#

There's enrages in every ex

manic flare
#

even in the ARR, HW ones?

faint flare
#

Yes

cobalt pagoda
#

so to get that dragon mecha do I need to get all the 7 mounts thst drop in the 7 shb ex??

manic flare
#

yes

faint flare
#

Yes

faint flare
#

Titania, innocence, ruby, hades, emerald and diamond and SoS ex

manic flare
#

is the drop rate for mounts higher in the ShB trials than in the ARR/HW ones?

cobalt pagoda
#

oh god SoS

manic flare
#

cuz the ARR/HW ones are abysmally low

faint flare
#

Titania, innocence, ruby and emerald are snooze fests

#

All but emerald and SoS have had their drop rates buffed

#

Throughout all EXs

manic flare
cobalt pagoda
#

?

#

or I got it wrong?

manic flare
#

i've only heard that about titania

faint flare
#

There's actual mechanics in SoS

cobalt pagoda
#

aha

twilit arch
#

ShB drop rates are roughly the same (for the ones that got their boost) as HW drop rates

#

ARR is iirc roughly higher since there's no totems to fall back on

cobalt pagoda
#

how many runs do you need to get the mount?

manic flare
#

50 i think

faint flare
#

Anywhere from 1 to 99

cobalt pagoda
#

on 1 EX??

faint flare
#

Depends how lucky you are

manic flare
#

yes

cobalt pagoda
#

T^T

manic flare
#

50 runs per ex trial

twilit arch
#

99 is if your luck is very shit

faint flare
#

On it dropping and winning the roll

twilit arch
#

and have to use totems to buy it

cobalt pagoda
twilit arch
#

danHmm where are you getting 50 runs per ex trial

manic flare
#

i've heard it's like 1 in 50

#

chance

#

of it showing up

cobalt pagoda
#

wait you can by the mounts?

twilit arch
#

for expansions extreme trials, yes

manic flare
#

if your luck is bad, you get totems

twilit arch
#

they eventually get added to the totems

manic flare
#

you purchase the mount with totems

#

but it requires 99 totems i believe

#

and u only get 1 totem per run

cobalt pagoda
#

oh

#

wow

#

so no wander you guys said 1 to 99 chance

twilit arch
#

which is why i said 99 runs is if your luck is super shit

cobalt pagoda
#

welp

faint flare
#

And 1 if you use up all your luck for 5 years

manic flare
#

i've seen a guy get a mount on his very first run

cobalt pagoda
#

I will have to do that to 7 trials to get one bloody mount >.> oh the sweat and nerves ruined to get that mecha dragon

faint flare
#

Thankfully only SoS and hades are the only ones remotely challenging cause you can't really skip their key mechanics

#

Others are just snooze fests

#

Ruby and emerald are fucking jokes

cobalt pagoda
#

ok so how hard are they if I do this as an healer?

faint flare
#

Just do the mechanics

manic flare
#

it depends on how good your party is

faint flare
#

And its fine

#

The unavoidable damage isn't bad

#

People have solo healed them

cobalt pagoda
#

.>

#

ok at least an good thing

manic flare
#

are you in a raid heavy datacenter?

#

otherwise you will get it pretty easily i think

cobalt pagoda
#

is ragnarok good for raiding?

faint flare
#

Chaos is fine

manic flare
#

my datacenter lacks a lot of endgame raiders

cobalt pagoda
#

ok

manic flare
#

so it's hard to get a PF going

#

for mounts

#

people just want to chill in limsa

cobalt pagoda
#

how does PF for mounts work?

faint flare
#

You just run

#

If you win the mount gg

#

There's no special rules or anything

cobalt pagoda
#

ok so how are EX unlocked? after I finish the trial then can I do the ex right after?

faint flare
#

Yes, after talking to the respective unlock guy

#

After doing normal mode

candid girder
#

As a low level is there anything big i should unlock that may not unlock during msq?

cobalt pagoda
#

good, cuz once I finish the normal mode I will get right to farming the mounts :3 and if bored I take an break or continue Shb

faint flare
#

Your mount

candid girder
#

around what level should i head there? I'm 15 currently just restarted yesterday

manic flare
#

main story quest level 20

faint flare
#

You'll be travelling soon

#

Msq 15 to travel to other cities

candid girder
#

kk

faint flare
#

If it shows under the main scenario tracker, do it

stable herald
#

Hmm... i saw a couple of people, floating, holding a glowing spear. Diff jobs. Any idea what those are?

twilit arch
#

probably owners of the omega statue

faint flare
#

Omega emote

twilit arch
#

using the emote that comes with

manic flare
#

is that emote available already?

stable herald
#

Oh

hot eagle
#

comes with the statue no otherway to get

stable herald
#

Dang

#

Ah well

hot eagle
#

same as shiva emote

stable herald
#

Sure is cool looking

faint flare
#

And thats why its 200$ :)

final steeple
#

cobalt pagoda
#

how hard is Thordans reing ex synced compared to shb ex ?
