agile laurel
#

and yes, there's a sort of collection of mechanic markers that mean something very specific

remote lintel
#

like a stack marker

warm snow
#

Of these, 3 start at level 30, 2 start at level 50, 2 start at lv60 and the rest start at level 1

finite topaz
agile laurel
#

like stack, earthshaker, 'stand with someone else with this marker', etc

finite topaz
#

tethers, the gaze thingy etc

worthy rain
#

Ok, well, Im gonna read the wikia for Titan and Ramuh to understand hahaha

buoyant lava
agile laurel
#

once you recognise most of those then you can at least give many instances of the marker being reused a good attempt

warm snow
#

Oh yeah

finite topaz
#

if its normal you can just faceroll it tbh lol its not that hard

buoyant lava
#

Is it useful to do that?

warm snow
#

Current level cap is 80

worthy rain
buoyant lava
#

Or are there any benefits like a cape or a special item?

agile laurel
#

no, that's just the name of the cast

#

usually recurring mechanic markers are what's projected above players

warm snow
#

If you level cap all combat jobs there's a special mount

simple shore
#

This is my favorite guide for "what indicators do what"

finite topaz
#

the marker tells you what you need to do to avoid/mitigate

simple shore
warm snow
#

There's also special titles for hitting the level caps on certain groupings, like all casters etc

agile laurel
#

a lot of mechanic markers imho are learned by seeing it once or twice and associating it with a certain mechanic

warm snow
#

One of the titles is "God of War" if you're a Sony fan

agile laurel
#

like instead of 'stack on other people with this marker to resolve', i just think 'oh, gilgamesh tiny song'

buoyant lava
#

Do you get it next to your name or smth

manic flare
#

how useful are the revelations tomestones? compared to the allegory ones

warm snow
#

Yup

agile laurel
#

revalation buys current gear

#

allegory buys last tier's

buoyant lava
#

What about a cape with some perks

warm snow
#

No perk gear

#

There's some glamour for old achievements

manic flare
#

what's the gear you buy with revelations called?

buoyant lava
#

Damn but you will basically be able to do anything in the game right

warm snow
#

Yeah

finite topaz
#

yes

#

even majong

remote lintel
#

@manic flare cryptlurker

warm snow
manic flare
#

and allegory?

buoyant lava
#

How do you get xp in skills do you get like combat xp every cast or every dungeon

remote lintel
#

crystarium

warm snow
#

Crystarium

worthy rain
#

Ok, a symbol that appears above the members name, never saw it, gonna check the guide then
For example when Ramuh stopped some members, in the chat they said: collect the orbs
But, when or how did they know to do that?

warm snow
#

2 specific jobs share exp but they're an exception to the rule

buoyant lava
#

I meant job exp

agile laurel
buoyant lava
#

How do you get more experience

remote lintel
#

doing dungeons, quests, etc

warm snow
#

Quests, fighting in dungeons etc

remote lintel
#

you get it from a lot of places

warm snow
#

Crafting/gathering for those jobs

buoyant lava
#

Are the most legendary items in this game trade able or they’re rare and you have to have high crafting levels to craft them

warm snow
#

Not tradeable

simple shore
# buoyant lava How do you get more experience

Since you're coming from Runescape, its worth clarifying - at no point is it ever optimal to go out and just mindlessly grind overworld mobs - except for Blue Mage and its the exception to most every rule in this game so i wouldnt think too much on that/

remote lintel
#

only crafted gear are tradeable and crafted armor is never the best at endgame

warm snow
#

The best combat gear is usually locked behind raids

buoyant lava
remote lintel
#

there is for alt jobs

buoyant lava
#

Yeah i read that

remote lintel
#

but its not grinding mobs

simple shore
#

But its the same advice for all of htem

warm snow
#

The fastest way to level outright is just doing main scenario quests

simple shore
#

Rather than "this job should do this, that job should do that"

warm snow
#

For other jobs it's pretty much the highest level dungeon you currently have access to

buoyant lava
#

Are there many players with maxed jobs or people mostly just dont do it because its not really essential

simple shore
#

There's alot of people who max everything

#

But its by no means everyone

warm snow
#

Starting in shadowbringers there's a fairly tangible benefit to having a max level job in each 'class'

#

Tank, melee dps, caster, healer

remote lintel
#

role

buoyant lava
#

A class is a job but a job isnt a class?

remote lintel
#

technically

warm snow
#

Sorry role

remote lintel
#

a class upgrades into a job

#

but theyre mostly used interchangeably

warm snow
#

And that's only in arr because arr is fucking awkward

remote lintel
#

like lancer is the class, dragoon is the job

shrewd owl
#

expansion jobs dont have prereq classes tho

buoyant lava
#

Alright thanks guys im hella buying this game as soon as it goes on another sale it has jobs pvming pvping

warm snow
#

Do the trial

#

It's super generous

Hope you enjoy yourself

remote lintel
#

pvp is kinda

#

eh

warm snow
#

Oh yeah that

remote lintel
#

i wouldnt get your hopes up about pvp

buoyant lava
#

Yeah i know but still the important thing is it has all the concepts with no micro transat

#

Transactions

remote lintel
#

lol

#

it has mtx

buoyant lava
#

Isnt it against the game rules

#

If you buy items

remote lintel
#

oh you mean like

#

between players

buoyant lava
#

Yea

remote lintel
#

yeah thats against ToS

warm snow
#

You can't buy gil from squenix but people do sell it unfortunately

worthy rain
#

As a dps, in a trial, you have to wipe out the adds right? I mean, I for example targetted Leviathan's tail and one sahagan, not all the entire trial Just on Leviathan

remote lintel
#

take out the sahagin first

warm snow
#

For leviathan the tail and head share a health pool

worthy rain
#

Yes, the adss

warm snow
#

But focus the adds

remote lintel
#

and you target the head or tail based on what kind of dmg you do

warm snow
#

The head and tail deflect different types of damage

#

One deflects melee the other magic iirc

#

Can't remember the specifics

buoyant lava
#

B

worthy rain
#

Yes, it is an example, Ramuh was crazy, I took out the adds, but almost died...

warm snow
twilit arch
#

head reflects physical ranged, tail reflects magic damage

warm snow
#

You can also pay to skip story content and level certain jobs

twilit arch
#

technically melee can do head but its not safe

#

also wont hit positionals on head either so

buoyant lava
warm snow
#

Yeah

agile laurel
#

iirc msq skip doesn't level your jobs, and job skip doesn't level your msq

#

so it's not a be-all-end-all

remote lintel
#

its not grinding

#

its just playing the game

hoary kayak
#

also don't do it or you're cursed for life 🙂

pine veldt
#

anyone on Coeurl server?

agile laurel
#

ff14 has an extremely major amount of focus into its story

#

it is a final fantasy game after all

meager heath
#

Are there any limiting systems in this game or if I play 24/7 I can earn XP all day everyday etc?

agile laurel
#

you can just play as long as you want yeah

remote lintel
#

the only limiting things are that endgame gear is timegated

#

but thats endgame

buoyant lava
#

As a player who only buys expansions and subs can you get on with playing it and getting to endgame content without paying an extra penny on mtx?

agile laurel
#

yes

remote lintel
#

by mtx do you mean the cash shop?

twilit arch
#

the cash shop is entirely optional stuff

agile laurel
#

there is no meaningful skip mtx that is punishing to not

twilit arch
#

mostly glamour

hoary kayak
#

my man got scarred by korean f2p mmos

remote lintel
#

cash shop stuff is mostly just cosmetics

#

theres nothing on there that will give you an advantage

#

not even the skips

warm snow
#

Fast passing a job while honestly make you a liability since you won't have learned how to use your job

agile laurel
#

to say you get an 'advantage' from skipping is wildly off

obsidian patio
#

Closest P2W thing is extra retainers for more inventory storage, room for selling more items on the marketboard, and greater ability to farm for items from ventures

buoyant lava
obsidian patio
#

And even then the 2 free retainers the game gives you is more than enough for most people.

buoyant lava
remote lintel
#

no

#

extra retainers cost real money

#

it gets added to your sub

warm snow
#

You get 2 retainers with 175 inventory slots each that can sell up to 20 items each on the market board to other players

#

If you want more than that you'll have to add an extra buck or two to your sub

buoyant lava
#

Does this affect your gameplay

remote lintel
#

no

warm snow
#

No

remote lintel
#

it only gives the hardcore crafters more room to sell more stuff

warm snow
#

Youre limited to an extra 350 slots for storage that you honestly shouldn't need, and you can sell less shit on the market board to make gil

agile laurel
#

retainers are essentially banks

#

and little 'send me off for a time and i bring back An Item Of Some Kind'

#

(that is otherwise obtainable)

remote lintel
#

well

#

not the fat cat minion

agile laurel
#

ah

#

yes

remote lintel
#

which is very important

buoyant lava
#

Anyone of you guys never paid for mounts / cosmetics and shit like this and got it endgame without having a more difficult experience than an oil pribce

#

Prince*

remote lintel
#

the cash shop cosmetics arent obtainable in game

warm snow
#

I started in June, already at endgame

#

I was really enjoying myself so I bought the special edition version of shadowbringers

#

That's about the most 'extra' I've spent

remote lintel
#

ive bought too many cosmetics and fantasias

agile laurel
#

cash shop cosmetics are either exclusive to cash shop, or from dated seasonal events

buoyant lava
#

Ok guys thanks guess ill just try the game and see if its my type

agile laurel
#

prices also tend to reflect any practical gain like the fucking choco carriage holy shit

remote lintel
#

inb4 the 8 man whale is 40$

oak ice
#

It's probably gonna be really fucking expensive, yes

agile laurel
#

wouldn't surprise me

obsidian patio
remote lintel
worthy rain
#

Ey there, may this is not a long question, but people could not help at all with this, maybe someone here can?

How important is to get best gear (50:130,60:270, and so and so, ironworks gear), if when you join an instance, for example Titan Hard, your character level and also the items are gonna be downleveled?

halcyon stag
#

So, how does RDM's Embolden work, exactly?

tawny quest
#

Can't imagine how it's not like $60+

#

The whale I mean

agile laurel
warm snow
#

!skill embolden

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Embolden** : lvl 58 RDM (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases own magic damage dealt by 10% and physical damage dealt by nearby party members by 10%. Both effects are reduced by 20% every 4s.
Duration: 20s

remote lintel
#

@halcyon stag boosts your dmg and party members' dmg and gets weaker over time

raven sage
#

@tawny quest That whale mount is a 2 seater

twilit arch
#

its not important to have the best ilvl gear for that content. basically if you meet min ilvl to queue, you're fine. having higher ilvl just means it'll probably be a easier to complete @worthy rain

warm snow
#

10% increase to all in range for 4s, then 8% for 4s, 6% for 4s...

obsidian patio
#

I think Xita is talking about the 8-person Lunar Whale mount.

remote lintel
#

yes

tawny quest
#

Yeah I am

remote lintel
#

the 4 seater is the chocobo carriage

cosmic reef
halcyon stag
cosmic reef
#

Half are limited times returning.

Half are unique

remote lintel
#

it says "both effects"

halcyon stag
#

Shit, I need to read more carefully...

warm snow
#

Your magic dmg increase and the party physical dmg increase

halcyon stag
#

Thanks

Q: ilvl 530 blue gears can only be acquire from Savage runs (books)

warm snow
#

Ish

twilit arch
#

because titan hard was intended to be done at ilv 57

warm snow
#

The current tome gear ilvl 520 and can be augmented to 53

twilit arch
#

and 130 is significantly higher ilvl, therefore more stats/more dmg

obsidian patio
#

Your ilvl 130 gear is at full strength in level 50 content that doesn’t have an upper item level sync.

viscid fossil
#

Aug to 530 needs savage ?

obsidian patio
#

Which is a couple of the early level 50 dungeons

#

Until 5.5, yes.

remote lintel
#

@viscid fossil yes

warm snow
#

The augment can currently only be gotten through savage content at present but will also be buyable from materials from the alliance raid in 5.5

viscid fossil
#

aw thanks

twilit arch
#

titan hard also doesn't have a hard ilvl sync to it, so you'll get the full effect of 130 gear (since when sync'd with no hard ilvl, your gear is put at the highest ilvl for that content)

viscid fossil
#

I just don't have a static group

remote lintel
#

you can pug

warm snow
#

And you can also try find one

worthy rain
twilit arch
#

they do

warm snow
#

There a European Raiding discord where people recruit, probably are other ones for other continents

remote lintel
#

you get synced to 130 max because thats the max ilvl of ARR

worthy rain
#

And @obsidian patio

forest sage
#

can definitely PF although it takes a while, but yeah eventually you can upgrade armor/acc once a week with 5.5 nier raid, then later on you can upgrade with nuts from hunts in 5.55 or so maybe even later, and at some point you can upgrade weapon too(5.55+ too)

twilit arch
#

but not all instance have a hard ilvl sync, aka a specific item level they will sync down to

#

so if the instance is a lvl 50 content that only has a level sync, not an ilvl sync, then you will be sync'd down to the highest item level for that content

#

which is 130

#

for ARR

obsidian patio
#

Level 60 content would be i270, 70 would be 400, and 80 content once Endwalker comes out would be 530

twilit arch
#

Example of a "hard ilvl sync" is like Amdapor Keep. Which syncs you gear down to i110

scarlet arrow
#

is Delibrum Reginae loot locked in any way?

obsidian patio
#

Nope

warm snow
#

No

scarlet arrow
#

cool

warm snow
#

It's just fucking looooong

remote lintel
#

its not that long

twilit arch
#

so you would not have the full stats of 130, but it would still be pretty easy because the dungeon's min ilvl is 45 and the stat jump between 45 and 110 is pretty significant

forest sage
#

there isn't really much loot so to say, mostly just coins and a really low chance at the hair(and mount I think?)

warm snow
#

Feels like it after 15.runs but that's for #rants

scarlet arrow
#

took about as long as an average alliance raid tbh

#

well judge armor isn't going to buy itself for me 😛

viscid fossil
#

I'm on... urg.... 4th run lvl60 raid

warm snow
#

This is what you get for not levelling blu

#

Smh my head

twilit arch
#

this isn't rants

viscid fossil
#

I have to put music with YouTube breakout overlay video while running it. xD

grizzled rover
remote lintel
#

whichever one has more dex

grizzled rover
#

they al dont have dex xd

forest sage
#

the one that gives stats you can use, so dex for BRD

scarlet arrow
#

aiming or take the cash

forest sage
#

then they don't matter

twilit arch
#

Then either throw a dart at one, or take the gil

forest sage
#

you'll get dex in the next quest

grizzled rover
#

ok thanks

forest sage
#

well usually they just alternate

grizzled rover
#

im not high enough level i am so sad

warm snow
#

And eventually they just give you a coffer

viscid fossil
#

Memory of the Dying did not drop for me after the 4th run. Void Ark ? 😮

worthy rain
#

In other words, you can character level sync, but not ítem one? I though I saw the items in yellow... Then I thought something like (for what then all this top gear? I could have saved the Tomes)

remote lintel
#

no

twilit arch
#

There are TWO syncs

remote lintel
#

the duty tells you the level sync

twilit arch
#

Character level sync

#

and Item Level sync

#

not every dungeon has both

remote lintel
#

if there is a yellow square that means theres a specific item level sync

#

if theres no yellow square you get synced to the max ilvl of the expac if youre above it

twilit arch
#

if a dungeon has both, it is noted in the duty finder information

warm snow
#

I mean the top level gear of each expansion is also better than the buyable/dungeon gear at lv x4/x5 of the next expansion

twilit arch
#

with this "Item Level Sync: X"

lunar kernel
#

GUYS ANYONE KNOW IF WE GET TJE TIMEWRON PIECE WITH ANOTHER CLASS?

warm snow
#

First

#

Turn of caps lock

lunar kernel
#

Doing Delubrum I mean

twilit arch
#

if it doesn't have the tag "item level sync:" then it will sync to the highest item level for that level range

lunar kernel
#

Sorry

warm snow
#

You can get time worn as any class

#

It doesn't matter

#

The quest just has to be active

forest sage
#

none of the current relic stuff requires you to be on a specific class, just need the quest

atomic jewel
#

how do i check with what date i registered for ff14, because ff14 won't accept my ID or my password for some reason

remote lintel
#

are you sure youre inputting your MOG STATION login and NOT the square enix store login

oak ice
#

Checking the earliest achievement on the lodestone can give you a rough idea

remote lintel
#

they are different accounts

oak ice
#

Oh, right

urban pike
#

Good afternoon!

#

Is there a way to scale down the size of these names?

#

When a lot of NPCs it becomes kind of a mess.

remote lintel
#

system config?

#

and scale down the ui prob

slim fossil
#

Random question, have played before up to mid-Stormblood and want to return soon-ish. I tried coming back before and got burned because I couldn't play. Is anyone aware if the issue stemming from certain AMD GPU chipsets that made the game unplayable (crashes immediately at launch) ever got fixed?

thorny sinew
#

Name size is Character Config, Display Name Settings, General for Size options. But it starts at standard, and only scales up

urban pike
#

Yeah UI scaling doesn't affect it, and Standard is the smallest.

#

That's a shame. It's quite large to me.

raven sage
#

You could always turn them off

remote lintel
forest sage
#

looks fine to me and there's not that many places with crowded NPCs(that have names)

thorny sinew
#

It's probably to help people see through crowds, since you can click on names to interact with NPCs. But yeah, you'll probably have to turn them off.

urban pike
#

I could, but then I can't see the names.

forest sage
#

I do hide player names though

slim fossil
#

True. Thanks @remote lintel

raven sage
#

Set them to hide unless targeted?

#

It doesn't affect quest markers so it's viable

forest sage
#

if you hide the names I assume you can see quest markers though

urban pike
#

No, I just want smaller names. Guess not. Thanks for the help though!

forest sage
#

so shouldn't matter too much

icy finch
#

how does one get their chocobo to fight?

rotund wave
#

this game is quite frustrating to start out on

warm snow
#

Use gysahl greens to get it to come out for half an hour

twilit arch
#

do the quest "My Feisty Chocobo" in south shroud, and then use gysahl greens to summon it

warm snow
#

Or until it dies

#

Whichever comes first

rotund wave
#

had to disable firewall and restart the client about a dozen times to get it to install. Now at character creation I'm getting this

remote lintel
#

did you disable vpns?

rotund wave

nova umbra

static steeple
#

This is a noob question so sorry in advance:

Who dictates what mob to focus in dungeons? Anyone specific or is everyone supposed to know beforehand who to attack when?

faint flare
#

You dont focus mobs down

#

You aoe them

#

With your aoe skills

static steeple
#

Ok but what about for a mini boss with two mobs?

faint flare
#

Still aoe

#

With the adds together

#

Always aoe at 3+

thorny sinew
#

For the most part you'll aoe everything. You'll learn to focus something if there's a mob with an annoying spell or some crazy heal etc. But those are few and far between. You only need to focus burn if there is a mechanic that requires it etc.

static steeple
#

Ahh ok

thorny sinew
#

I think the "example" part of that during the MSQ is Ifrit with his nail

static steeple
#

That's good to know. I just felt confused I dont play a lot of mmos

thorny sinew
#

For the most part, if you ask about something in a dungeon group, they'll answer ya

static steeple
#

No one answered me lol

#

I think everyone was new as well. They all had the sprouts

thorny sinew
#

Ah, yeah. Then no one would know 😛

static steeple
#

It's all good. I just figure as a tank I should try and know this stuff

thorny sinew
#

Potencies are set up so that 3+ mobs is the break point to just spam aoe

Drg only get theirs at 40

static steeple

Ah ok

warm snow
#

All tanks get an aoe early enough on

thorny sinew
#

As the tank, so long as you're gathering up the mobs and holding aoe aggro, you're golden for the vast majority of content

#

as far as target order I mean

static steeple
#

Alright cool. I find tank a lot easier to learn then the healer and dps so far. It helps that you get into dungeons instantly haha

thorny sinew
#

If you're super running into issues, just say "First time tanking this" at the start of a run. Provided you aren't all sprouts, someone will usually give a heads up if there's some crazy out there mechanic etc

this is for main story quest 'a still tide'

#

How do i buy crystarium weapons?

#

Nope, I wait until it has a permanent bubble

remote lintel
#

@rigid wolf with allegory tomes and the token

clever bough
#

You need to do the corresponding Eden Bossfight 7 times and then trade for a tomestone to buy the weapon

remote lintel
#

not 7

rigid wolf
#

Where do i buy?

remote lintel
#

it costs 4 weapon tokens

#

#

What is the name of tomb exchange person?

remote lintel
#

fathard?

#

i think hes the au ra

clever bough
#

Just checked ... Tigerskin (Level 65) Gathering gear gives a miniscule amount of more gathering ... doesn't look like going for anything but Level 70 gear is really worthwhile (as when I am Level 68 for the next tier I just need two levels for the better upgrade)

timid geyser
#

Well yeah

#

It's better to go for the next tier directly

#

Make sure to pick the highest ilv gear too

Leader of my former fc is threatening me of reporting me for harassement.
The fc was created 1 month ago and the leader is a new account (with just 1 job with a payed lvl up), and was asking members to donate gil and items, and gave them tasks (obtain some exact items to put in fc chest, recruit a number of new members, etc) with the reward to have a better rank.
Today I got out of my fc after saying in the fc chat that what the leader does seems like a scam. And she has told me she's going to report me for harassment.
What should I do?

faint flare
#

Lol

#

Blacklist and move on

#

Gms wont do anything

thorny sinew

#

That's all kinds of special though. You've nothing to worry about at all.

faint flare
#

There's no legitimate harassment cause

So they'll wave it off

theres a video on the jobs in the pins

faint flare
#

Also the larryzaur video

lunar saffron
#

oh ok didnt see that thanks

faint flare
#

In pins

#

For the job overview

thorny sinew
#

As for class to play on one character, just remember that one character can be all the jobs here

#

So you're not locked into anything

lunar saffron
#

Thanks, thought that was for expansion since it had the shadowbringer

faint flare
#

Its updated for Shadowbringers

remote lintel
#

it just means its updated

wheat plume
faint flare
#

Even still it doesn't matter if you're trial or not

wheat plume
lunar saffron
#

Thanks much appreciated.

faint flare
#

Yeah there's no harassment case here

thorny sinew
#

Yep, not harassment. You're fine.

wheat plume
#

Just want to be sure I dont have anything to worry about, I was thinking of asking in S-E forums what to do, or ask in support desk

faint flare
#

Gms wont do anything

#

Harassment is repeated abuse

remote lintel
#

dont do anything

faint flare
#

Or just abuse in general

remote lintel
#

because they fc leader cant do anything

lunar saffron
#

Also even though I bought the game, should I subcribe now or near to the end of my trial sub

faint flare
#

Wait

remote lintel
#

up to you

faint flare
#

Once you input the code you're immediately locked out of the trial

#

And have to pay the sub after the 30days free time is up

lunar saffron
#

Glad to know that. I'lll wait then. Since I haven't even launched the game

#

I'll look at these guides you guys showed. Thanks for the help again

scarlet cape
#

Just hit 80 on my gun breaker today and need to get through the patches from 5.0 but when can I start the relic quest for gnb?

modest igloo
warm snow
scarlet cape
#

@modest igloo thanks. And you think it's worth buying 480 gear if it's cheap or just work my way up

thorny sinew
#

Remember to have finished Ivalice raids to unlock Bozja

modest igloo
#

otherwise allegory gear will do

warm snow
#

Otherwise the 490 gear you can buy with allegory tomes should be able to tide you over

scarlet cape
#

For ivalice is that pretty easy to find groups for?

warm snow
#

Atm easy enough,

thorny sinew
#

As a tank farming allegory will be quick if you want to save the gil (need to save the gil, etc)

#

Yeah, they're all quick queues right now because of the relic

warm snow
#

Just unlock them and queue for them while you do the patch content and you'll be done before you know it

young lintel
#

Why do some people have different crafting station design thingies. Like, when I use Culi It is a pan over a fire. But this guy next to me have a stove o.o

scarlet cape
#

And allegory are from shb dungeons, right? Didn't look too deep before logging

thorny sinew
#

If you've got a 70 dps, you can queue on that for a faster timer.

thorny sinew
forest lark
#

Any tups farming red memory of dying

#

Dravanian hibterland is always empty

thorny sinew
modest igloo
obsidian patio
forest lark
#

I can farm red memories in azys la too?

young lintel
#

Ooh, that makes sense. Ty

agile laurel
#

azys lla will have more population because everyone can fly

modest igloo
#

there's two areas for each memory

warm snow
#

That's the ultimate pro tip

forest lark
#

Hmm i yried with blu but its even harder lol

#

Maybe I dont have the right abilities for fates

warm snow
#

Just get rams voice from cutters cry

faint flare
#

Get the standard BLU dps spells

thorny sinew
#

Rams Voice, Ultravibration, and Choco Meteor will carry you through almost all of them

warm snow
#

Dragons voice from the same dungeon can be useful for multiple enemy ones

agile laurel
#

you can also get ram+dragon from relic reborn chimaera btw

#

could be quicker

warm snow
#

It admittedly usually dies too quick there

faint flare
#

For boss fates just use normal BLU ST rotation

#

Tingle whistle trident, bristle mantra, nightbloom etc

agile laurel
#

you could be a gigachad and do proper level 70 moon flute opener, but it doesn't really matter so long as you've got plenty of good buttons and you're pressing them

faint flare
#

Blow all the Primal spells

#

And stuff

forest lark
#

Hmm i dont think I have any of those skills yet rip

#

I have obly ram voice actually

agile laurel
#

that'll do, honestly

#

hard CC can be useful

raven burrow
#

hey , anyone care to enlighten me where/how to get the most recent gear ? im i488 and havent played since september (5.3?). doing the msq right now. and whats this bozjan front about?

thorny sinew
#

Grab Choco Meteor and use your Chocobo. You'll have a spamy 300 potency aoe

agile laurel
#

because deep freeze isn't broken by anything besides dragon's

warm snow
#

Grab choco meteors from the red chocos outside tailfeather

agile laurel
#

and current tomes are Revelation

clever bough
#

Spear Fishin question: Do more spots get unlocked with level? Cause I can't seem to find any fishes around the sunken junk in yanxia

raven burrow
#

what can i find in this BSF ? special gear like eureka ?

agile laurel
#

i believe so

#

Sort of. It's for developing the relic

#

Or, one method of doing it

#

and kinda its own standalone content i guess, there's some stuff to be got and it also functions as a 71-80 not-quite-a-deep-dungeon leveling method

raven burrow
#

wdym , ive read that the fastest way to get the 20 memories is by doing fates in HW regions

agile laurel
#

yes, that's true

#

because squenix make very questionable decisions

raven burrow
#

so basically its just irrelevant content

agile laurel
#

no, not really

modest igloo
#

for the first three steps, you dont need BSF

#

you do need rank 10 for 4-6

agile laurel
#

yeah, you can do SOME of the relic without stepping foot there

open ember
#

Its technically FASTER to do Bozja for that step

#

If you have a cluster party that can seperate into different regions

#

But its optional

agile laurel
#

however most recent step requires rank 10 and completion of Lacus Litore, which is sort of baldesion arsenal but not

raven burrow
#

hm i see

agile laurel
#

rank 10 in BSF is like, under a week's work depending on your playtime

#

there's no challenge logs, and the fates are a lot more commonly spawning

raven burrow
#

im already 6 , so ye it doesnt seem too slow

agile laurel
#

about as much as actual fates, really

open ember
#

Yeah no you absolutely need to do Bozja for the recent relic weapon step. Its not an option

#

Because the relic is locked behind your first run of Delubrum Reginae

agile laurel
#

yeah, just regard the hordes of people pissed off that they didn't know that and are also playing catchup lol

raven burrow
#

is this delubrum a special fate like event ?

#

like that 3 headed dog

agile laurel
#

Delubrum Reginae isn't

faint flare
#

No

agile laurel
#

you just queue it

faint flare
#

Its queable

open ember
#

Its a special alliance-ish raid

faint flare
#

No role restrictions

agile laurel
#

Castrum Lacus Litore has a spawn timer however

#

and is instance-based

raven burrow
#

how do i unlock those ?

agile laurel
#

CLL, be rank 10

thorny sinew
#

Castrum hotfix was mentioned as something that will happen. A hotfix is happening on Tuesday, so hopefully they are one in the same

open ember
#

Castrum is a special Critical Engagement. Spawns every hour

faint flare
#

Continue the Bojza story line

agile laurel
#

DR, continue the story line

raven burrow
#

oh so basically just grind bsf

#

alright

agile laurel
#

mhm

faint flare
#

Castrum at rank 10 story, Dr after it

agile laurel
#

you'll need to hit rank 10 whatever you do

#

so keep on it

open ember
#

When you get to rank 10, it'll unlock Castrum. When you finish Castrum, you go do Delubrum

raven burrow
#

im catching up on msq right now , but good to know nonetheless

#

what about gear progression ? still the eden raids ?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Progression hasn't changed

open ember
#

Edens or Cryptlurker gear

faint flare
#

Just new tier of stuff

raven burrow
#

cryptlurker ?

faint flare
#

New tomes

agile laurel
#

e9-12, revelation cryptlurker gear

raven burrow
#

ah

faint flare
#

Gear from relevations

raven burrow
#

kk

agile laurel
#

there's no 3rd nier raid yet

faint flare
#

Its basically allegory last patch

raven burrow
#

alright, thanks for the info guys. appreciate

faint flare
#

How you progress is the same, just new tier od it...new names and all

viscid fossil
#

Where can I find the Bozjan earrings that gives exp to lvl 80?

twilit arch
#

talk to jonathas to claim them once you have gotten the achievement

faint flare
#

Its an achievement

#

1k fragments appraised

viscid fossil
#

oh

faint flare
#

Then go pick up from ^

viscid fossil
#

Do you know the name of the achivement?

twilit arch

I wish there is a search function in that Achievement panel :c

faint flare
#

Its under Battle

Field explorations i think

gusty hare
#

I remember once reading someone saying to leave DoH/DoL class quests for high levels because they would give more experience. Is this true?

open ember
#

Uh no

#

Always do your class quests

gusty hare
#

aight

viscid fossil
open ember
#

Esp if you intend to do expert crafting cuz manipulation

viscid fossil
#

Ok found it, not sure what is the forgotten fragments I have been collecting.

open ember
#

Its only obtainable in Stormblood class quests

vivid swallow
#

how do i unlock the bozjan front

#

for relics

#

do i have to go through the ivalice raids

open ember
#

Did you do the Stormblood alliance raids?

#

Yes

#

You do

vivid swallow
#

ew

faint flare
open ember
#

They are a part of the bozja story

#

looks like I have to farm more after my relic :c

dire hawk
#

uh, how do you switch performance mode hud from keyboard to controller hud version

#

i clicked everything and it didnt do anything lol

faint flare
#

The switch in character config

#

To turn on controller mode

open ember
#

Its like a light switch

#

Kinda hard to miss

dire hawk
#

im in gamepad mode

open ember
#

Oh

#

You didn't turn on cross hotbar

#

You have to enable cross hotbar in the hotbar settings

raven burrow
#

do i need a specific lvl to enter bsf ? i heard its good to lvl alts

open ember
#

71

raven burrow
#

meh , ok

open ember
#

You'll be synced to 80 in Bozja however you will gain exp for the class you're trying to level regardless

raven burrow
#

wait , do i need 71 to unlock bsf ? can i go with a lv 52 when ive got it ?

open ember
#

No

gray oxide
#

Whats the best way to find a static group? My buddies and I are trying to find one to do clears

raven burrow
open ember
#

You can't even enter the instance unless you're 71

raven burrow
#

alright ty

open ember
#

For 1 - 60 : Palace of the Dead
61 - 70 : Heaven on High
71 - 80 : Bozja

#

For leveling

dire prawn
#

Alright

#

I gots a question

#

So that I don't get flamed to hell and back if I ever need to use them and don't use them

#

What's the Limit Break meter in trials for

twilit arch
#

to use the limit break ability

#

generally, in trials melee dps should use it since their limit break is single target dmg

#

if you don't have one, then one of the dps should use it for dmg

#

that said, healer lb3 can potentially save a wipe as its a party raise

thorny sinew
#

Just two things to keep note of about LB: Tank LB3 is needed for a select few and far between mechanics or it's a wipe. Healer LB3 is a full party raise with no sickness and full HP/MP

dire prawn
#

Isn't Healer LB3 also a full hp raise unlike Raise or Verraise which raises you with like no hp and 0 mana

#

Oh so it is

twilit arch
#

ye

dire prawn
#

What does LB/LB2/LB3 do for each role

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, it's a full on second chance button. Heals the people alive too.

twilit arch
#

so melee dps: single target dmg

#

physical ranged: line aoe dmg

#

caster: circle aoe dmg

#

tanks: party defense

thorny sinew
#

The 1/2/3 just makes them more powerful with each bar.

twilit arch
#

healer: mp/hp heal

#

with lb3 as stated being full hp/mp party raise

obsidian patio
#

!faq limitbreak

zinc orbitBOT
#
How does Limit Break work?

See here

obsidian patio
#

The bottom of this guide details the LBs, using the LB1 as the scale for how much damage they do

open ember
#

Also healer lb is very situational

#

Tank lb is required for some fights

#

But also situational

#

Most of the time, it'll be dps lb

#

Lb3 animations are unique for every class too

thorny sinew
#

RDM LB3 has the added perk of blinding the entire raid during mechanics. 😉

full latch
#

so I'm a bit confused about potions in this game. why do stronger potions say it restores a less percentage of hp than the weaker ones

little swift
#

I've died in titan unreal because of rdm lb3

thorny sinew
little swift
#

Walked straight off the edge because I couldn't see the limit

thorny sinew
#

IE: HQ Potion and HQ Hi Potion both do 40%, but the Potion will heal a max of 200 points, while Hi Potion does 440.

full latch
#

which is the strongest potion? max potion?

thorny sinew
#

Pretty much just means you need to use the potion in your level range, and not suck down a stack of Super potions at level 5 to live forever

red vortex
#

I finally got the game working, and played for a bit with a fresh character. Wasn't sure how the UI worked and expected to see my old character in the list but didn't realize til after that I have to change data center to see them. How do world transfers work exactly? Do they always cost money even for returning players/players coming from other platforms?

thorny sinew
red vortex
#

I'm getting confused by how segregated the websites feel. Going between lodestone, mogstation, the SE page... I can see my old character but not the one I just made.

mighty flame
#

currently which beast tribe can be used to lv up gatherer? and does spamming leves still work well like before?

twilit arch
#

if you just made it then it will take the system a bit to update

#

spamming leves still works

#

namazu (60-70) and qitari (70-80) can be used to level gathering jobs

red vortex
mighty flame
#

👍

twilit arch
#

tonberry and kujata are both unofficial SEA/Aussie servers

#

not sure what you mean by merge tho...do you mean you want to transfer them to tonberry?

red vortex
#

I made a new character on Tonberry. I want to bring my old one over to Tonberry too.

jagged crow
#

do aetherial wheels have a timer on them

red vortex
#

My old character from the PS3 days lol.

rugged flicker
#

When does the quest to expand your holster size with those fabrics become available?

wet cradle
#

what type of NPC's can we put in our houses?

#

I know mender and material supplier

twilit arch
#

you can use the world transfer service on mogstation

dire prawn
#

Kaelwryn

#

How does Armoury EXP bonus work

twilit arch
#

Salvager, melder, and steward/hokonin(basically sells a variety of little things) @wet cradle

#

whenever you're on a job that's below your current highest you get a bonus to xp

wet cradle
#

oh you can have melder too?

#

what is a steward/hokonin?

jagged crow
#

do aetherial wheels have a timer on them or do they last till you remove em

twilit arch
#

iirc they basically sell stuff similar to the housing vendors

dire prawn
#

Is there a point in level difference where the bonus kicks in or will it apply all the way until your class reaches your other class' levels

twilit arch
#

the latter

dire prawn
twilit arch
#

@jagged crow afaik once the wheel is primed, it stays there until you remove it

Can i get both zonureskin and gliderskin maps on a day?

Why is iLv important? I'm comparing an item that has 480 iLv but Crit and Skill speed vs another that has none of those but 510 iLv

#

as a Sam

faint flare

Main stat

#

And weapon damage

#

Are worth FAAAAAAAAAR more than substats

thorny sinew
faint flare
#

Substats affect your dps by sub 1%

frail fulcrum
#

@thorny sinew ah ok thanks

faint flare
#

Weapon damage and main stat affect your damage alot more

#

Dont overvalue substats

dire prawn
#

What differences are there between Titan (Hard) and Titan (EX)?

thorny sinew
#

Like, mechanically?

dire prawn
#

Yeah like does he have new mechanics that his Normal and Hard forms don't have

red vortex
#

Any Australians had experience with transferring home worlds? I'm getting an error when trying to finalize the payment.

thorny sinew
#

Yes

dire prawn
#

It's my next blue quest in the trials chain

wet cradle
dire prawn
#

Already did Garuda EX

thorny sinew
#

You can get table flip (Mountain buster) from hard if you want.

twilit arch
#

Independent Sutler in the housing district/apartment merchant in the apartment buildings

faint flare
#

And the area is much Much smaller

leaden ginkgo
#

I see.. but still though, Crystarium coat has 1 more Strenght than Exarchic while Exarchic has 510 iLv but 55 less Defense and worse sub stats

thorny sinew
#

For extreme, landslide has multiple lines instead of one. After the heart phase, he'll summon two adds that drop a debuff on the ground and you'll want to murder them.

leaden ginkgo
#

in that case, isnt Crystarium coat betteR?

faint flare
#

And the strength gain is worth alot more

#

Also

thorny sinew
#

I think the bomb rock phase has a new formation too, but it's been so long since I've done hard that I'm not sure 100% on that.

faint flare
#

Dony look at NQ Exarchic

#

You want HQ Exarchic

#

NQ Exarchic is a trap

leaden ginkgo
#

oh shoooot

dire prawn
#

Nobody told me Titan (Hard) drops bombs

leaden ginkgo
#

thats a lot of strenght

dire prawn
#

And I got exploded

thorny sinew
#

They're easy. Watch where the first one drops, stand near the last one, and once the first ones blow up, head towards where it was.

#

That mechanic is repeated in one form or another in a ton of content.

dire prawn
#

They don't all drop and explode at once?

faint flare
#

1 set does in extreme

thorny sinew
#

Nope, they come out in order, and explode in that order

faint flare
#

If you see it

#

But otherwise they drop in an order and explode in the same order

dire prawn
#

My solution since I didn't know about the bomb rocks was to stand next to my tank

thorny sinew
#

Don't stand with the tank on Titan, or pretty much any boss

little swift
#

Standing with the tank is bad

thorny sinew
#

Table Flip is a frontal cleave

#

You'll be smacked with it.

little swift
#

Mountain buster is a cleave that applies phys vuln

jagged crow
#

I can't find a definitive answer anywhere. how long does a Primed Grade 3 Wheel of Confrontation last?

little swift
#

2 stacks and tanks need to swap

faint flare
#

All FC buffs are 24 hours

thorny sinew
#

If you're lost during a fight and not melee, you're usually safe to follow a healer that knows the fight.

#

If you are melee, get used to staring at butts.

jagged crow
#

oh...

leaden ginkgo
dire prawn
thorny sinew
#

You can also ask, for trials etc, if someone is willing to mark themselves for you to follow. There are a lot of us out there that will happily toss a symbol on our head so you can see us in the arena and fall into step

dire prawn
#

I'm not even kidding

wet cradle
#

can you change the appearance of NPC's that you place in your house?

dire prawn
#

When I did Castrum Meridianum and The Praetorium I was literally following her even though she was a healer LUL

wheat plume
#

if I know the name of a fc, how can I join?

gritty oracle
#

You could look it up on the Community Finder, to see if they have contacts listed. Otherwise, if it's a large FC, keep an eye out for people with the tag. Iirc through targeting them, you can apply directly.

wheat plume
#

how can I access the Community Finder?

glacial isle
#

For Glower (Aurum Vale Blue Spell) can you unsync it or does it need to be synced?

gritty oracle
#

Just google it. It's online and free to access.

gritty oracle
flat yew
#

is there any reason to use arbor call I over II once you get it?

obsidian patio
#

Arbor Call 1 detects closest, which can be different from Arbor Call 2, which detects highest level

flat yew
#

ohh

gritty oracle
obsidian patio
#

So it depends on what you’re searching for

glacial isle
obsidian patio
#

Not quite.

#

If it’s a dungeon spell needed for BLU quests it’s always 100% learn rate

gritty oracle
#

Oh really?

flat yew
#

guess I had some major dirt in my eyes because even after reading the tooltips thrice I didn't spot that difference haha

obsidian patio
#

Regardless of if you do unsync

flat yew
#

thanks

meager heath
#

Im level 7, how do you earn gil besides quests? Do monsters ever drop gil?

obsidian patio
#

At that low of a level, quests is basically your only option

flat yew
#

early on just do the MSQ (after finishing the main ARR ones I was at about 200k gil)

gritty oracle
wheat plume
#

Community Finder isnt working, or is there a spacial place to put the name?

#

I put the name in the search words part and says 0 results XD

gritty oracle
wheat plume
#

yep, in that one

gritty oracle
#

Adjust for DC/server

#

It might just not be listed in the CF

wheat plume
gritty oracle
#

In that case, try to track down a member of that FC. Ask NN.

wheat plume
gritty oracle
#

Nope, only if the leader chooses to advertise

meager heath
#

So is it even possible to level up all tradeskill while leveling my character or will I run out of gil or something?

wheat plume
#

I found it in lodestone, any place to click there to join?

gritty oracle
gritty oracle
meager heath
#

WEll I cant craft until level 10, I was going to work on all the tradeskills while leveling. Im in no rush.

gritty oracle
#

Then yeah, the only long-term sustainable option to level crafters is also leveling gatherers.

obsidian patio
#

Leveling up crafters while at low levels will drain your Gil unless you entirely self-sustain yourself

meager heath
#

Is it worth doing FATES solo at level 7?

gritty oracle
#

Iirc there should be a comment section. You could post your discord and/or in game name and hope Senpai notices. Apologies, I've only used the CF for a brief while.

obsidian patio
#

Not particularly, but it’s one of the few methods of exp/Gil you have at this low of a level

gritty oracle
#

Not really. Fates are kind of useless unless you need it for a specific reason, like atmas or beast tribes.

#

unless it's Odin. Don't go near Odin and report it to the NN.

meager heath
#

Ok last question, I noticed there is crafting gear, gathering gear, magic gear, and war gear..... Is it easy to manage all this or will it become an inventory clutter nightmare (I plan on playing multiple classes AND craft/gather)

remote lintel
#

roles share gear

#

all healers share the same gear, all casters share the same gear, etc

obsidian patio
#

If you level up all crafters equally then it won’t be as bad.

gritty oracle
#

Crafters share gear, gatherers share a gear, and there's quite a few jobs that also share gear. It can become a clutter if you don't clean out old gear often.

dense hound
#

^^^

meager heath
#

Is there a big bank and also is there an auction house?

remote lintel
#

retainers are the bank

#

the market board is the auction house

gritty oracle
#

Auction house, yes, but it's not really worth buying off it unless you're rich and lazy.

remote lintel
#

you cant use either if youre on free trial

gritty oracle
#

Free trial has some rather draconian restrictions to help curb bots.

late ingot
#

I have a ring which gives plus +1 to determination. whats that do?

remote lintel
#

open character window and hover over the stats

gritty oracle
#

Determination increases damage dealt and healing dished out.

dense hound
#

determination is a very small boost to attack, defense, and healing

#

and I mean very small

late ingot
#

oh

dense hound
#

in increments of .01% I think?

obsidian patio
#

Depends on stat tiers

#

!faq stats

zinc orbitBOT
dense hound
#

Right that

obsidian patio
#

(Only accurate for level 80)

gritty oracle
#

In general unless you're level 80, listen to the "recommended gearŰ" button

dense hound
#

^^^^^^^^

#

Oh, question from me:

The free trial, does it have a time limit at all?

gritty oracle

Cool, good.

#

Maybe I can entice a friend into playing.

gritty oracle

You can stay trial as long as you like. I've met someone on NN who wanted to get all classes to 60 and make relics before upgrading. Ugh.

#

whats with the random level 50 monsters showing up near low level areas?

remote lintel
#

those are hunt marks iirc

#

like monsters with a bounty on them

gritty oracle
#

Those are B-ranks. Basically weak "bosses" that you need a special hunt bill for to get rewards for

does smn want direct hit or det?

Specifically the blue icon ones are passive, they will not attack you. Red icons are aggressive, so don't poke around them.

remote lintel
#

smn uses either one

I love it when I'm trying to get around on foot on alts and an A-rank is spawned in the middle of the road so I have to go around and aggro half the zone anyways :)

is there a guide for Blu or is it a special case (the hotbar specifically)

Thousand Needles are situationally good, like with stage 2 carnivale or swifting it at low levels

thorny sinew
gritty oracle
#

a spell that really is useless is toad oil. Most stuff that can kill you has 100% accuracy anyways

#

unless you want to self destruct

thorny sinew
#

Toad Oil is great when solo farming fates and using Hydro Pull so it's easier to get Ram's Voice off

glacial isle
#

So what spells should I use for this one?

#

cause i really need to trim down that hotbar

thorny sinew
#

I suggest trying them out on your own by simply looking at the info on the page. If you don't feel like that, there's a page on the wiki/reddit with all the stages and how to do them.

#

Look at the page itself and you'll see the monsters. Mouse over them and they'll give you some info, like weakness and what status effects are useful against them.

late ingot
#

so i heard bards are pretty weak in this game. is it true or is all classes fairly well balanced

remote lintel
#

false

#

all classes are good

wheat plume
#

in community finder, when it says active members and recruiting members, is that online and total members?

faint flare
#

!faq bluguide @glacial isle

"active" is all members

and recruiting?

what's the first thing you should try to learn as a Blu mage?

remote lintel
#

self destruct

signal aspen
#

was that a real response

remote lintel
#

kind of

#

it is lvl 1

signal aspen
#

doesn't that also kill you?

remote lintel
#

yeah

signal aspen
#

what's the point of that one

remote lintel
#

for fun

oak ice
#

It deals a lot of damage to trash packs, but it's been obsoletised since the update

signal aspen
#

so from level 1 to 10, just go about with water cannon?

faint flare
#

You can grab other low level spells

oak ice
#

If you have a buddy to help, you can get thousand stinger

faint flare
#

(and power level you to 70)

signal aspen
#

where would you get thousand stinger, a dungeon?

faint flare
#

Cactuars

#

There's some near little ala mhigo

#

Or you can get it in a dungeon like cutters cry or something

#

There's Multiple locations for various skills

thorny sinew
#

For point of reference, all Blue spells are level 1. If you can get to the mob, see it cast it, and survive til it dies, you have a chance of learning it even at level 1.

signal aspen
#

I'll check out a thousand needles

#

does that matter if the friend agros it?

thorny sinew
#

So long as its your tagged mob (Or in a party with them etc) nope. Just be in combat with them and see the cast

meager heath
#

Is there a drop penalty for killing lower level mobs?

faint flare
#

No

raven sage
#

no

primal relic
#

Why am I being charged an extra dollar to renew my services? And should I still be charged even though the payment keep getting error? Also how come I’m getting an error?

faint flare
#

The 1 dollar thing usually is a test on the card to see if its real

thorny sinew
#

If you're seeing 12.99 and 1.00 as charges, the 1.00 is usually a test and it goes away

faint flare
#

it should be refunded eventually

primal relic
#

Mmmm okay, is there a maintenance or something I can’t seem to renew?

remote lintel
#

whats the error

red vortex
#

@primal relic got a screenshot of it? I was getting an error on mogstation when trying to do a world transfer earlier.

primal relic
#

I don’t know it’s in Japanese(I’m assuming).

#

No screenie

#

I’ll take a screenie when I try again, after the system refund my $2.

signal aspen
#

how do blue mages get their canes?

thorny sinew
#

Job Quests unlock them all through Carnivale or a Vendor

faint flare
#

Job quests

#

Their canes dont affect their damage much

#

So they're primarily glamour. Outside the few that can be melded

thorny sinew
#

All BLU damage scales on Int though, not the cane. The only thing the canes are good for is slotting stronger materia

faint flare
#

There's like 7? Or 8 now

thorny sinew
#

Six I think

glacial isle
#

does the Blue Mage role set thing people in PFs keep asking for unlocked via the Blue Mage quests or?

thorny sinew
#

Pharos Sirius Hard

faint flare
#

First boss specifically

obsidian patio
#

Level 60 dungeon

faint flare
#

Aetherical Mimicry

thorny sinew
#

That and Basic Instinct are two of the best spells we have.

faint flare
#

For soloing stuff yeah

glacial isle
#

Ah, just going down the Blue spell list and doing Carnivale now that I’ve unlocked it

thorny sinew
#

If you're soloing dungeons for your spells vs grouping for them, grab Basic Instinct out of order. You'll want it. Get Aetherial Mimicry asap as well, since it augments you even as a dps.

open coral
#

Aetherial Mimicry is the best non-attack spell BLU gets.

#

Hands down.

thorny sinew
#

Yep

faint flare
#

Its basically mandatory in anything

bronze wave
#

is there any prerequest to use the seasonal shop? I turned up to the NPC and there is no item in all options...

Complete the seasonal quest generally

I finished the Valentine event just now and was looking for the valentine shop but it is empty too facepalm

Let me tell you

It doesn't end with 2.0

#

No

i hope the story gets more interesting at least then, i liked the ifrit thing but the bit with sylphs had me falling asleep at my keyboard

remote lintel
#

yes it does

#

ARR is a slow burn but it sets up literally everything else that happens in the story

ARR?

but when I hit the 2.55 patch, hoooooo shit

dire prawn
#

So I just did the long chain of Primal fights from Urianger and the Scions (Unlocking the Hard and EX versions of the trials) and got three Rowena's Tokens, and now her assistant has a recurring blue quest with more Rowena Tokens

Where do I go to use these

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.

I just deleted a character to remake them and now I cant rip

If you're trying to get on Famfrit have fun waiting until probably 5 AM EST before it opens

Where do you get Basic Instinct and Aetherial Mimcry? They aren't in the Blue spell lists
