what level is your MSQ?
49
I am 48
I didnt know there were other dungeons that you have to unlock seperetly
Thanks for the headsup
so most pertinent for you right now is Aurum Vale, which can be unlocked with a quest in Vesper Bay called Going for Gold
yeah I looked up but I cant see any quest named like that
Ill do the blue quest and maybe it comes next
I have GNB pretty high level and I am fairly used to and able for its rotation I'm keen on trying DRK knight now too, is it harder than GNB rotation and how easy would it be to get used to it?

gnb has the most complex rotation so the other tanks should be pretty easy to learn
gnb has a lot of buttons
drk only has one combo so you spam 123 most of the time, gauge "management" for bloodspiller and living shadow, mp management aka keeping 3k mp for TBN and using the rest for damage, and pressing some other buttons on cooldown sometimes
probably the easiest tank, imo at least
Nice, the transition from gnb to drk will be pretty good then
does the free campaign allow ppl to continue the msq up to 5.4?
If you own Shadowbringers yes
how long is the free campaign?
4 days
Or rather, you can play for 4 days, but the offer is available until March 31
hi
for that 4 days
do they need to be on my friendlist?
or do they just download the game and pray?
play
It has nothing to do with friend lists. They have to own the game and have not been active the last 30 days.
ok nice!
last time they it was 90 days and they had to be in friendlist
idk why its different this taime
That was the callback campaign I think
Pls i need help
How can i play with a friend ? We have both the free Trial
how to unlock brooding mother side quest?
that unlocks the beast tribe?
You'll have to get someone who is not on the trial to create a party for you.
oh i dont have someone
Ask in a populated area, like Limsa. Go to the aetherite and just use chat
That page includes the unlock quests, despite the title
you can't on trial
Then how someone invite me?
you can be invited to a party without friending
Just got to the Futures Rewritten patch. Absolutely loved the story up to here. Just 1 question. After i finish the story how should i go about endgame ? What should i do first etc? I come from wow and have no idea how endgame here works (Only played the story from ARR-STORMBLOOD and didnt do the endgame in those expansions)
?
you do eden raids on normal then do savage
What is eden ?
the shadowbringers raid teir
Oh okay
get all your normals done to progress story
then do the current raid teir which is Eden's Promise on Savage
Is there a questline or something to unlock the raids ?
There is
Could someone please explain how end game gear progression works? Do trials get you prepared for raids? Are raids played one at a time until a tier gear set is achieved to move into the next one? Do trials and raids mix? Etc?
But i assume i need to finish the whole futures rewritten story right ?
nope. you can start it right after 5.0 story done
its a linear progression
Oh okay, thanks for the info @brisk scroll
are tomestone of poetics completely uesless once you get gear higher than ilevel 130?
@brisk scroll linear meaning one trial at a time followed by One raid at a time?
The entire teir can be comleted in full crafted fully melded gear. The Trial is like a side grade that can help with a bit of extra power. Trials are not married to raids. Tomes help you get BiS or a little extra oomph to help you clear
no, you can also spend them on i270 gear (at level 60) and i390 gear (at level 70)
poetics are used currently in then new relic step. 400 will let you realocate stats
and BLU BiS
@scarlet arrow im in the pillars/foundation, is that where i can get new gear using it?
there is also a vendor near the ishgard aetheryte for 60 gear
oh are both of those in HW?
Ildleshire is HW
Rhalgars Reach is SB
Stormbutt
I dont know what content you're doing
im by the aetherite but dont see a vendor ๐ฆ
IT appears when you comeplete 3.0 msq
neither of those two sell me anything
I think
if it's accessible to you it will have a blue symbol on your minimap
I think you need 3.0 msq completed though
but yes you likely need to complete the 3.0 MSQ
all right ill keep progressing msq
you need to complete the 3.0 msq to see the ishgard poetics vendor
thx
idyllshire poetic vendor opens earlier
since it just requires you to enter idyllshire to access it
can i get there from pillars/foundation?
no
or need to quest or something
you'll get there through the MSQ
Idlyshire is blocked by story
You get there via msq
level 58-ish
im capped on poetics.. ๐ฆ
!faq poetics
Say, is there a list of the bot's commands for looking up stuff like this?
it do be like that
Hello. I have unlocked my first relic weapon and have the quest to collect atma by participating in FATE events. Is it worth doing now or should i focus on post ARR MSQ and work my way towards HW content?
can just do !faq in #kupo-bot-spam to get a list of all available faqs
Oh, okay. Thanks.
Well, okay, did that, but man, there's, like, 40 pages, and you have to go through them one at a time. Any type of spreadsheet listed somewhere, does anyone know?
what is the point in getting all crafts level 5
If you mean crafters, there's nothing special about level 5 that I can remember
I think you misunderstood the advice given to you @grizzled rover. I'm pretty sure it was told.to you that you should keep all your crafters leveled together. And leveling them in increments of 5
Getting all of them to 5. Then all to 10. Then all to 15. Etc
Administrative website for the Final Fantasy XIV Discord Bot
And keeping gatherers 5 levels above all your crafters for self sufficiencu
You level them equally
Leveling them equally means you can make all the materials you need for a given craft
Yourself
Saving yourself money
bcause some of the crafters needed the mats of other crafters
Again, all of them
And at the same time none, since you're never obligated to do crafting
If I've only leveled Miner and Goldsmith, how can I earn Yellow Scrips? (I'm broke, and nothing i've put on the market has sold, so i can't just buy ingredients.) I'm looking for something I can craft using only ingredients i've gathered as a miner
For miner, gather collectibles for the scrip exchange and custom delivery npcs. Goldsmith is a little harder because you need to craft collectibles, which will very likely require materials crafted by other crafting classes.

Hey, so I had a question: Is it against the rules to buy/sell Free Companies for in-game currency? And does it make a difference if you are buying one for the house or not?
So like not any real money, but purely for gil. Is that against the rules or is it allowed?
ah i see
thanks
can we post questions about payments here too? :o
Yes
It shouldn't be since there's no real money involved.
It would be like trading gil for a crafter to make you something
As long as both parties consented
another question: How can I gear my miner up (level 71 with level 62 gear currently) with no scrips and no gil?
Ah okay, so it should be okay then. I am mostly wondering because getting a house is such a pain, that I am considering just paying for a higher value to buy a FC with a house if possible. I don't have enough gil yet probably so not really an option yet, but I wanted to know if it is even an option to consider
Thanks!
@cinder patio it might be just prudent to be patient for 6.1 ishgard housing
How long does it take to build a house? Is there a way to tell if a plot was relocated versus someone bought and built immediately?
People will move to it and old plots will open up
Collectables give exp
Yeah maybe. Just tired of Free Companies falling apart due to weird drama, so I kind of just wanted my own so I can be without a FC but still get dem buffs and garden
I don't need EXP. I need Gear.
Houses can be built immediately upon purchase of the plot.
Scrips can be used for gear
Do your custom deliveries
I don't have scrips.
Start getting some
Get gil through whatever means and buy the level 71 gear from ShB vendors
Aight thanks
nope
No, it stops at 70 currently
I can't craft anything without ingredients obtained from other crafters, and my mining gear is outdated. I have no reason to believe I can gather anything that can be used to obtain scrips... this is my dilemma.
You can gather lower level stuff for a lower scrip payout
And custom deliveries are a thing as well which reward a hefty scrip amount
Those are separated by level range so you can always do a lower level npc delivery
For scrips
!faq scrips
Anyone on excal happen to know when the next firmament concerted works begins?
Ie do level 60 collectables/ deliveries until you have enough to gear to 70
!faq scripunlock @delicate field
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
!faq dolcollect @hidden agate
Should get you started
Here are timers for HW and SB mining nodes that give collectibles for yellow scrip. If you don't think you can handle SB collectibles with your current gear, you can do HW instead.
SB: https://www.ffxiv-gathering.com/40.php
HW: https://www.ffxiv-gathering.com/30.php
Its not as big of a problem as you think it is loki
(click the mining tab)
Just needs a bit of time
can you make a good incoming with just gathering or crafting is really where it's at?
Both are fine but crafting has the added advantage of making glamour that sells well
is this a glamour item?
it dropped in a dungeon but no idea what to do with it lol
Not exactly. It's an armor token, you can trade them for armor which at the point is really only used for glamour.
Item level 90 job gear specifically
oh i see it on the wiki, thx ill go exchange it
(Which you get from the level 50 job quests anyway)
do i need to clear crystal tower in order to get raid alliance roulette?
I am not quite sure what has happened. I have 2 days left and after subscribing for 30 days I used the cancel sub option so it wouldn't renew on it's own. Now I used the card one to buy 30 days, it said i have two left and this email came :o
You need to unlock at least 2 alliance raids, so yes. Once you unlock Syrcus Tower, you should have the roulette unlocked.
Well I canceled it later anyway and now I am not sure if the website remembered my past card info or sth broke xD
just unlock or clear it as well?
Initially yes
The game forces you to do it
Unlock, but you need to clear it to progress the MSQ anyway
crystal tower is not mandatory tho
Can't really skip it like the old days
It is
It is
So is the hard mode primals, MSQ still makes you do them
i mean i galdly would do the 24 main raid but nobody is doing them at this point...
Everyone does them, because they are required and the easiest alliance raids. They are the most unlocked alliance raids.
Well you're a tank of course it takes the longest
Because there are only 3 tank spots total.
so does FC generate gil? or if someone deposited gil will it show in activity ?
wait what? ๐
Healer and dps queues are significantly shorter
Not for alliance raids
๐
That's the only time queues arent instant for tanks
You have 3 tanks, 6 healers & 15 dps
In an alliance raid
FCs do not passively generate gil. I believe it does show in a log when someone deposits gil. I haven't been in a FC in a while though, so I don't remember exactly.
Itll be shown in the fc chest history
hmmm okay
omfg thank you @little swift
im joining another server and someone put 5mil in the company chest . I want to make sure they get it back lol
also thank you for responding @strange coral lol
Honestly, i kinda feel like I just keep running into walls as a crafter/gatherer... I have no income, and hoped that crafting and gathering would change that but it's just made it worse.
You needed to level all of them together
is DR a weekly kind of thing ? and is there loot ?
Dr is spammable
But there's a weekly quest that awards gold coins and 12k mettle
what about goodies ?
You get primarily silver coins but it can rarely drop a mount, hair and barding
All of which go for ALOT
ah okay
Hindsight is 20/20. Nobody told me that when i started.
The hair alone is like 20mil
does it reward mettle per clear too ?
No
No
Nope
Everytime YOU die in DR you lose mettle
lul k
But thats easy to get
They're adding a new zone later so it may increase the rank cap
someone here told me to do custom deliveries but... i literally cannot. I have none of the ingredients needed to craft them, nor any idea how to obtain them, but i highly doubt they can be obtained through mining.
Buy them
You get from the salavger next to the scrip exchange
From vendors
Do some roulettes
Thats enough
You get money back when you turn them in too
Is there a website that allows you to preview the paintings so I don't have to buy like 50 of them to see them? XD
ty
does your mount regain flight at some point in HW?
You have to grab aether currents in each map from hw on to be able to fly
If I use crafting/gathering to make profit, as opposed to gear/feed myself, would it be more profitable to sell raw materials, or crafted armor/weapons/food?
AKA: Sell the copper ore, or the copper ingot
depends on the market
ah right
generally, the crafted items will sell more
but as said, depends on the market
just have to do your research, look at the sell history
raw materials may sell for less than the crafted item but sell more often
Logged in for the first time since November and my character is gone? I'm on ps5 when I last played it was on ps4. Any chance this has something to do with it? Really don't want to start over
Make sure you're on the right data centre and server
Make sure you have the right datacenter and server selected
What level does ARR end?
Supposed to be 50, but you'll likely be over that by the time you reach HW
50
Right, and the overarching story of it, how is it? I've heard ARR is just a slug to get through, before you reach what people consider to be the best part of the game
Is it normal that I've just reached 80 and I barely started Stormblood haha
hey what is the difference ? :o
Okay that worked! Glad it was that simple, thanks! Had just completed arr in nov, was taking a break before heavensward.
Im stuck on a ARR MSQ -Factual Folklore. As as NIN I do good damage but this beast well over dps me. any suggestions?
Yes, especially with exp boosts (road to 70 for example).
PC download is digital version. PC is probably a retail box.
Im planning on just grinding levels until im way higher
how good is your ilvl? do you have a chocobo?
Are you using the item you're supposed to on the enemy
LOL
because people usually miss that
what about your gear? and i meant combat chocobo
I would say it starts slow but gets going towards the end of ARR, slows down again for a bit then picks back up again through to heavensward
NEVERMIND im a dumbass
ow ty !
Thanks ๐ Guess I'll keep track with it lol
Does Teamcraft, when you enter a modified ship part into your list, include the mats for an original ship part? Say, you want to make a C+ bridge, does it include the mats for a C bridge?
is there a good way to level a dps class from 70-80?
Bozjan Southern Front is decent from 71-80
Bozja
any estimation on how long it might take?
Just pixies for combat
beast tribes give exp? from the daily?
i've never done bozja though
Yes beast tribes give quests every day which give exp
Bozja leveling is going around doing every skirmish and ce you can get yourself to
is there a FAQ on all daily stuff we can do?

Complete the lv70 24mans then the quest line is in kugane
Got a question about crafting/professions. How do I actually choose one? Iโm level 12 so far and my bag is full of mats
so any ideas?
Quests aren't shared unless you're on the exact same quest step
Then kills count for each other provided you in range
Whats the difference between crossworld linkshell and fc?
can you get a relic for every class you have level or can you only choose one/a certain number of them?
FCs aren't crossworld, but have extra functionality, such as housing stuff, buffs, company chest, etc.
Can crossworlds have housing?
No, linkshells are basically just chatrooms
msq roulette feels like a punishment...
FC are player guilds
ohhhh ok, interesting. I appreciate it. I am VERY new to ffxiv. Sounds like Im looking for a FC then.
is there a limit to changing retainer appearances? I changed one up and now the option to change retainer appearance/nickname is gone from the vocate menu. I wanted to do all of them at once.
What are sprouts?
newbies
on their name
Ohhh, I see
You need a fantasia for every change. Otherwise it's unlimited.
When does it turn to that weird flower?
Is the ceiling on Coerthan Central Highlands high enough that I can fly over the mountains in the middle?
I have 33 in my inventory
flowers are returners
is for returners, people that haven't played in a while and then came back
Need to drink 'em.
oh jeez, thanks a lot
don't ask me of the logics of you drinking a potion that changes your retainer's appearance
lmfao I thought about it
definitely fixed, thanks a ton
first time I've bothered fixing up my retainers in 5 years
how do you have 33? aren't they 10 bucks each?
the retainer fantasias are like 3k gil
oh its a different one than for players, gotcha
Ohh, I assume the sprout disappears after a set amount of time then?
7 days of playtime and getting to shadowbringers
after you finish post SB or played 168 hours, whichever comes later
is it possible to retain the i500 shb relic qith glow as a replica ? i only have one without glow
I don't think they're available yet, but replicas should become available for all completed stages at the beginning of next expansion? Maybe? I'm not sure of the exact timing.
yikes
Regana sells replicas of the i500 relics I thought
yeah she does , but no glow
Ah
just the basic model
The default setting is for gear to go to your armory. If you didn't change that setting, then it's likely that the section for whatever gear is going to your inventory is full.
Character settings
Should be under the icon that looks like a bag.
I forget what the category is.
anyone know how marketboard tax works now? didn't they change it to a global %?
ty
what is the purpose of the other two tomestones
do they give gear
any useful items
old tomes? yes
gear for lv 50/60/70, glamour, soil for gardening/selling
old relic materials
there are like 3 tomestnes
poetics and 2 other ones
allegory or w.e its called
and the other one
Poetics are the ones for buying leveling gear (50/60/70). Allegory are the second most recent and can be used to buy Crystarium gear - useful since they don't have a weekly cap limit.
Revelation is the current endgame gear.
what level is revelation gear
its worth getting?
sure
its mostly for doing savage
Yeah, it's the highest ilevel you can get outside of Savage.
if youre not doing savage you dont need it
Eulmore
eulmore
its the endgame hub
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ

@little swift so if I wanted to make 50 rarified lemonade for a full set of 400 gear I can just.... Do it?
No @tacit jungle
I ... Don't know why that edited my message. Weird
There's a limit on how many scrips you can hold. So you might have to spend them as you go.
But yes, you can just spam lemonade for scrips (that's what I did)
Yah just go nuts
How can I tell when the concerted works in the firmament will start without being in the game
I dont want to rush home only to see it already happened
Why did I waste money on 490 gear again? Lol
joining centurio discord and getting the ishgard fate role
@tacit jungle aesthere gear is better than scrip gear if you meld it
Depends on the server as well. Many are already completely finished.
Oh true. Pentameld makes it a bit better
Scrip gear has the problem of not having enough cp economy to work with
Excal. The bar is filled but doesn't say when work begins
Excalibur just finished the baths stage 1. Stage 2 is in about 7.5 hours
Most recent was just under an hour ago. There are two more before Excal finishes.
It says spring stage 1 bar is filled, does that mean the bar has already reset
All right so I already missed the concerted work?
No springs stage 1 was completed almost an hour ago
You guys are on the last set of fates
First of three yes. The next two happen without the progress bar. They come in succession.
Yes you missed the fate. Lol
Shame. They keep happening while I'm at work
I guess this means I can grab lunch then
Oh cool thank you
What are good duties to grind out Tankless Job Achievements? Can I solo some duties?
old ARR EXs
Seriously? I just do those over and over?
you can
garuda EX is like 30 secs if you have 510 gear
Well, I'll start with PLD first. Level 80 and almost BiS on fending, so yeah
to get the second stage you need level 61+ duties
Self heals would also be nice, you wouldn't believe how low old EX's can reduce your HP to.
i barely take any dmg as MCH
hey , if i use a glam on an item , then cast glam on a new item and use the previously glammed item , will the new item retain the original glam or the added glam for the item used ?
original
ugh

shame that i cant keep my ninja relic glow if i want to progress the relic
the current last step for shb ninja relic looks awful
well you could probably buy a replica
the replica has no glow

can't you just put the relic on one of your glam plates?
then you can re-apply it whenever
then i cant progress the quest
really ?
yes

Just save the plate and don't touch it until the replica you want comes out
thats exactly what i need , thanks :D
How many professions can I have... like weaving and botany etc
all of them
tell me if it works out, i need to check that again
All of them????
Yep you can be everything
Which ones should I focus on as a white mage
all of them tbh
Yeah one isn't really better than the others
And it's less of a pain to level them all together
Should I start working on them early or wait till late game
you either do all , or none
you also don't need to pursue any crafting classes at all

it's completely optional
Okay that makes me feel better
you will be able to stay geared without touching a single crafiting class
I will probably wait till late game to mess with them then
weird question but is there a way to know market board placement in new ishgard plot? do they place a placeholder or some sort in?
that's likely the easiest solution
Iโm on jenova. Is anyone in a fc I can join?
I've been reading some guides, says for summoner you can stack bio 2 and bio 1 at the same time. is that something that was patched out?
yes
does tri disaster obsolete the casting of bio/miasma?
no
No, because it has a cooldown
you need to manually cast bio/miasma when its on cd
When I switch to borderless. does it affect my games resolution at all?
oh 50 seconds, that's long
borderless just makes it your monitor's native resolution
bio automatically upgrades to bio ii and bio iii
@delicate field it's shorter than it seems since dreadwyrm trance resets the CD
So you can use it 3 times every 2 minutes assuming your CDs line up
Anyone has a great 507 CP crafting rotation :s ?
Anyone doing lvl 32 MSQs and wanna party up? I play tank
BLU question: what can I use instead of Matra Magic in the Flute opener? (i havent unlocked it yet)
should i use i530 axe or emerald for prog?
530
do you plan on clearing the tier cheems
if I clear e9 and e10 this week does going back into e9 affect loot for e11?
or am I good to go?
because I doubt that the difference between clearing and not clearing is going to be your axe
I remember something about needing to clear in order
no you're fine
going back doesnt affect further floors
Thanks
but you wont get loot
i plan on clearing the tier, yes
for e9s
then you don't need the tome axe
even with 1 chest?
i mean the most other people can get is 1 chest, but YOU wont get anything
that's 1k revelation you could have spent for another class
Damn
whats/wheres bozjian silver n gold coins used for ?
why am I here then xD
aight, ty for the advice 
@raven burrow for the law order gear in gangos
ofc the augmented tome is better but it's very unlikely to be exactly the difference between clearing and not clearing
Just saw that certain ShB cutscenes have the "reflect quest progression" option. Is there any dialogue for people who've completed certain Job quests?
@remote lintel need specific rank ?
It's for the role quests mainly
a
no
i dont see the gear anywhere
Does anyone know of some "guide" to understand the dancer class? I picked it up because it looked interesting but even after reading the tooltips it seems to make little to no sense to me
its to the left of the island
For example the tank role quest is relevant during the 5.1 post dungeon cutsceneb
@flat yew
!faq dncguide
dancer uses procs
you do the red skill firs tthen the blue skill
they have a chance to proc the yellow and greeen ones
and you use your dance on cd
which is just dance dance revolution
finally, years of academy training not wasted
@remote lintel im blind , whats the npcs name ?
Resistance Supplier
Does Samurai have any quest requirements to unlock
no
lvl 50 combat class and have stormblood
huh , i only see gear for normal coins
Just need to complete your level 10 class quest to unlock job swapping
Tyty
Silver coins are exchanged for gold coins at the bottom of the menu
100 silver for one gold.

sec
Super quick relic question because googling never gives you a straight answer. How many timeworn artifacts do you get from DR? Trying to decide if I want to do that or PoTD
1
wait that's it? For how long that takes? ew
DR is likely to be faster than POTD grinding since people are starting to be better and better at it.
Cleave the discord mod here managed to get a twelve minute clear of DR

@obsidian patio
POTD pub runs always have a decent chance of failing but with DR you just need a few people.coordinating to just make the boss go brrrrt dead
I fully expect people to be able to clear DR in less than 30 minutes if they make use of essences and lost actions
not in bozja
pretty much just have to either take the guaranteed 1 drop every so often or roll the RNG dice
love it
hmm okay thanks, ill go check in a few
And to be quite honest the Resistance Relic is likely the easiest or pretty close to Anima in difficulty.
Thankfully thatโs a one time quest
indeed
for the FC submarine, where do you find the Company Workshop to get started?
Is choosing a grand company based on how attractive the leaders are a good idea?
Good as any, I chose maelstrom because HQ is in Limsa, where everyone else goes.
Set home point in Limsa, see ppl RP, run to HQ
yeah i chose them too, f*ck the home turf (ul'dah)
Mhmm, Gridania/Uldah seems dead to me
merlwyb is the best leader
Hey all. Anyone know if there's a way to hide minion names following players around? I have all name displays for pets and things off, but I can't find a way to disable minion names.
character config > display names > npc
Ah, thank you so much!
Itโs the door in the FC house that lets you enter the private rooms
If I change my grand company, will I be able to use the equips of the old GC as glam still?

is shadow flare no longer in the game or something?
Correct.
lol weird
I'm using a trial account and I was wondering if I buy the starter pack will I be able to level past level 60 or will I need to buy Shadowbringers?
Ah, thanks
Oh ok, no FC house yet. I wish housing wasn't such a pain in this game. Make it instanced housing =(
I have a question about the samurai DoT ability higanbana, if I apply higanbana and then I get a damage buff from party members or if I apply jinpu (self damage buff) to myself does the DoT that is already applied benefit from these damage bonuses or do I need to reapply the DoT?
You'd need to reapply the dot
buffs are snapshotted
I see thank you
Where is a good spot to level 22 healer?
Halatali (dungeon)
How do I delete all the saved char creation presets on ps4
I dont see an option ti delete when right clicking
I have tons and its confusing
is it possible to remove materia from gear without destroying the materia?
oh and failure destroys it?
destroys the materia yeah
anything under 6 is guaranteed, over it'll sometimes fail, but materias aren't too expensive if you're not overmelding
when you're reporting a player, what is RMT?
real money trading
I got a bunch of level 3 and 4 from the msq, I guess i'll put them on and take them out when i get new gear
oh....
bots that spam gold selling ads and stuff
Real Money Trading - exchanging irl money for in game goods or services
i was trying to report someone in the raid finder but that was the only option available to me
you have to open the support menu then open a ticket
you can't easily like right click someone and report them sadly
oh :/
they should just add a quick option for people who are toxic/bad mouthing
hated that crap so much in LoL and wow
well you can still report them, just takes a bit more effort
i really don't feel like going through the whole chat log on ps4 just to report one or two people lol
Do you think mch or dnc is easier to play? I've been leveling both along with a warrior, all three are pretty easy right now in the 50-60 range, but I know classes tend to open up a lot later on and I have zero experience with any of them end-game
DNC
theyre both easy
going through multiple questlines can get a bit tedioius lol
and i like that they add story and context, but at the same time, they can kind of drag on at times
raids are 1 questline
well it's like everything in this game, they really want people to do the stories, but the actual unlocks are easy, just yeah can take a while
especially if you're going through the entire thing at once(like if you were to unlock current eden, it's a fair while since you have to clear the previous 2 tiers with all the quests inbetween)
it's definitely not a bad thing, but i'm weighing in the negative side to it as well

Salutes, was any event finished days ago?
I have asked why Complete Edition now appears in amazon for 20$, and some told me cause maybe an event?
No?
Now is not of course
the complete edition was on sale
for trust
I mean, a local retainer has it also at 20$, amazing, but why?
how do i get healer thats astro????
Complete all of ARR through 2.55 and enter the first city of Heavensward.
They told me square enix knows the date periodo of that offer
for trusts
im talking about for the trust system
Oh
if its on msq then he needs to be one of the characters there
is it random who is there?
cuz i only have whm and fking scholar
about whos with you at the time
There's no WHM for trust?
what jobs would you consider the most difficult in terms of decision making and optimisation (they tend to be the most satisfying to play imo) rather than pure execution (muscle memory)?
Yes
theyre all the same ai
blm is kinda easy though
if youre good at using all its movement skills yeah
ley lines, fire 4, fire 4, fire 4, (foul), transpose, thunder 4, blizzard four, tranpose, rinse and repeat
i wasnt talking about the rotation
yeah but I'm not talking about rotation
ohhh
yeah, blm movement is a little hard unless you have your two movement abilities
blm is a turret caster in fights where you need to move like every 3-4 secs
one that transports you to your ley lines and another to a party member
you can get like 6 GCDs of free movement if you plan it out
also if you slidecast you can move a fair amount of distance if you have enough time
how about the melee classes
for example repositionning for an upcoming mechanic during a lull/raidwide/tank mechanic
I feel like monk and ninja arent really that hard in the decision making avenue
samurai is giving me the most problems though
Samurai has some weirdness with their rotations
sam?
saying melees have no decision making isn't quite accurate
i wouldn't say that either their entire rotations are based around melee range and positional use
I'd melee is often more about timings, knowing how to roll your GCD and how long you can greed before having to get out of aoes and such
being able tomove correctly is just a fundamental of play
rather than specific to casters
positionals are just scooting left and right?
like if you look at a good melee doing savage versus an average one, you'll see there's a ton of optimization with good knowledge of the fight(due to most aoes being unmarked)
not necessarily just scooting left and right
E9S is a good example with wide/anti air optimization
also knowing when to be max melee
how much gcd time you can give up
how to shift rotation to fit fight
you are speaking about melee generally and not a specific class here right?
another example of this, for ninja in particular would be titan unreal in the opener
if you use assassinate too early in your first trick window
it'll be during the first weight of the land
and you'll kill yourself to it
being animation locked
BLM doesn't have too much decision making either btw, it's more about planning your movement in advance, you're not gonna decide randomly "oh now I'm gonna change my rotation", the rotation is fairly strict and you are mostly sticking to it, while floating a xeno for forced random movement or whatever
you do have to plan around the longer movements, see how you can line up swift and triple for them
i really would like to play a healer in a raid, but that gives me so much anxiety lol
decision making doesnt necessarily mean a sudden decision
when i said decision making i was including planning
and if you need to sharp a thunder and keep it or whatever, but that's planning, not so much decision making, fights follow the same pattern so you can more or less plan for it all
no one is saying that cerb
i can heal in dungeons and trials, but raid healing kind of scares me
well everyone has to plan their fights
yeah this game isn't about reaction decisions as much, I heard
melees don't have the luxury of hitting the boss from wherever the hell they want
you also have to plan your true north usage, since it's somewhat limited
so they have to know exactly how much they do before backing out, how much to give up etc
that's planning, not so much decision making
planning is included in the decision making process during prog though
has anyone healed in raids?
healing is also a bunch of planning
how is it compared to caster dps?
wym
in fact when it's fully planned out, healing is mostly DPSing
and we're not disagreeing in that statement then, but saying melees have less of it to do is just not correct
well, i'm a bit nervous to heal in a raid. caster dps is pretty simple in just standing there and dishing it out lol
thats basically healing
like you can do E9S without casting a single heal(as in a GCD heal)
you spam your dmg button until you need to heal
and when you do it repeatedly you predict the dmg
Do you need to play during busy hours to do bozja efficiently, first timer or no
What's the difference between regular gear and augmented gear?
augmented is 10ilvl higher and can be dyed
well for most gear like poetics and stuff
when you guys say bojza are you talking about this? https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Bozjan_Southern_Front
yes
72 ppl instance sounds like fun
this isn't the first iteration of large scale instance
Stormblood did Eureka
which was 4 different zones of it
oh sweet. is there one for HW?
no
So as BLM if I get the proc for thunder for insta cast should I use that as soon as I can or wait for the DOT to almost end?
if its AoE
use teh aoe proc as you get it
if its for single target you can hold for either the dot or proc buff falling off
or use it to move
If I purchase clothing from the online store, do you only get one copy of it? Letโs say you accidentally toss it in-game, would you have to buy another? Or could you redownload it?
Only one
a GM could replace it most likely
Oh wow. Thank you @faint flare & @forest sage
keep in mind this is a one-time restoration
and shouldn't be abused
but a cash shop item is definitely something you'd want to use this for
Got it. I was just curious since Iโm another MMO I play cash items can be downloaded as many times as a player likes. But is restricted only to them, so no giving them to other players, selling them, etc.
I was curious if 14 was the same, before I make a purchase should I decide to
mog station items are untradeable except the dream outfit
it varies per item, more expensive, bigger stuff, like.. 20$+ mounts? etc are usually account-wide, sent to every alt upon creation
but stuff like emotes or old event stuff is character-specific
Ah so those 3.50 outfits are character specific?
probably yeah
clothing is per character
if its account wide it should state in the name of the item on the store page i think

what's the usual skill rotation for summoner at about ~50 - 80?
What was the price of the physical collector edition for Shadowbringers and Stormblood already? It's out of stock everywhere so I can't find the price
$200
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzBuQcfUdzU @silver lintel
5.3 Patch note: Tri-disaster has been nerfed to 150 potency. This kinda... doesn't change anything.
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Summoners how to Summoner properly, without getting too deep into optimiza...
My wallet is going to suffer ๐ ty!
thanks
Oh and I forgot to ask, did they reveal the price of the digital fanfest tickets for the mount?
No
what rank do we need in bojza to unlock the raids>
Yes
gotcha. then what about for relic? ive done up to sign of whats to come but cant seem to access that yet?
i did and he doesnt seem to have anything else for me only 3 quests
Quests from Zlatan does the relic
right and ive done those 3 so far
need to run delubrum once for the relic quests to go on
gotcha
Yes

i mean you could test it but i dont think they'll be able to since they cant make a party in hte first place
making them leader would mostly be for things like having them queue for the dungeons tehy need
If everyone goes offline no
What does preferred mean when looking at different servers?
Double xp servers
Does that also mean low population server?
Only on the day it was designated
SE decides whats preferred and we dont know whats "low pop" for them
Take note that match making are done in between Worlds inside the same Data Center
So world population shouldn't affect your progression
I was curious because wanted to transfer servers today to one that I'd actually have a chance to get a small plot. I didn't know if that ment low population
Every server is basically gonna have every plot taken
any good leveling exp to grind my NIN from 34-50 ?
Oh you poor summer child you. Looking for an open plot. comforts
!faq altlvlguide
its hard to spam highest dung with dps tho. i did the spam method with my drk with ease
Then potd
only try potd if your dungeon que takes longer as 10/15min, alternatively if you have your gc squad leveled you can do dungeons with them
oh boy, oh boy, free login??? Nice!
Do I need to do anything crazy in requirements to login ?
It's been like a year since I played.
So before getting a sub or buying any of the edition should I finish the trial first? Currently lvl 16
If you want yes
what the avg price for small house trying to start saving for new housing in 6.0 (never bought a house)

anybody got any tips for powering though the MSQ im getting burned out.. not really enjoying it that much as i don't really read it so currently its just running/teleporting spending gil. and skipping text. I love all the games other content but the MSQ is really killing it for me. and because none of its really voiced i am not really able to pay attention or get myself into it. I enjoyed the guild storys some what when leveling archer and lancer but now i am over leveled for MSQ so the small mobs don't really pose a challenge and i just press the 4 button like 2 or 3 times and bam. more text i skip.
I just know some stuff is lock in the trial edition so Iโm trying to figure out if I should get it now. Because Iโm liking the game . 13 hours the past two days
Get it if the limitations annoy you
do it with friend or do 2-3 hours msq and take a break I just finished 5.2 after so much time playing other stuff in game xD
i have no friends to play final fantasy with all my friends hate mmo's.
and i have done a lot of other stuff i put the MSQ so much
I'm like you xD no friends in any mmo
my MSQ was at level 13... while my lancer was at level 30 and archer at level 30 and leathering at level 20 along with level 10 Wood cutting. just got my MSQ done to level 19 T~T.
but dont rush all the way take it as you can
I am confused, the notes say that you are able to play for 4 days, but the page says this
Is it just the duration but only 4 days for each player?
Thats the length of the campaign
oh
Login in this time period
The lodestone here in discord says play up to 4 days
I'll be surprised if they made it a week.
That would be too good.
what is best way to get combat materia
7 days is the callback campaign, free login was 4 days
at what level does the MSQ of running and teleporting to this location talking and then completing end?
80
oh god is it the same the entire way though?
So if I got the starter edition would I be able to get the 30 day game time from it even with the trial being on the account?
ARR MSQ is pain, it gets better after ARR
Few dungeons and solo instance
ARR?
what is best way to get combat materia
You get the 30days anytime you register the game
Shadowbringers hunts
How long will it take me to power though the MSQ?
A realm reborn, base game campaig
A Realm Reborn - ARR
i have like no care for the Main story and love everything else but feel like i hvae a lot of stuff locked though teh MSQ
@quaint birch hunts like dungeons??????
Heavensward was so much better and better paced
HW story got skipped fast btw
You kind of have to just power through ARR
The quality was def lower probably because the lack of funding from the reboot?
do the newer expansions have voice actors? or is the same as the rest where like a paragraph is voiced then its just READ PLEASE.
yeah but like i said
Usually in important cutscenes
what are hunts
itsone paragraph then it switches back to text.
Thats throughout the game
ShB has a good chunk of VA
Hunts are basically rare spawns of monsters you can kill
Thereโs also daily/weekly bills you can grab to hunt specific monsters
If you donโt want to spend Gil, yes.
honestly i have 3 issues with the game.. no speech bubbles. so i miss a lot of messages.
MSQ and main storys just not voice acted so its just logs and logs of text.
thirdly i forget.

game makes a lot of money
There's 5 languages
They need to do
And a fucking lot of text
If you want to oay a 50$ sub then sure
i mean most FF games are just text
When the first dungeon do able?
Msq lv15
can peopel not in your fc enter your fcs workshop??
cuz there was some random sprout in my fcs workshop but not in my fc @_@
They can
Iโm going to imagine the story will take eme there eventually
oh okay
game is a big company. and a lot of smaller companies can get multi language voice actors.
along with that this game is sub so the game continues to make money unlike other games that are one time purchase. Also i would be happy to have the game in Voiced just in Japanese and read subtitles rather then music only awkward pauses for suspense as if it was meant to have voices and walls of text.
It literally requires you to do three dungeons in a row when the MSQs merge
ARR is from fucking 2014 when they re-released it after the game absolutely bombed in 2010
true, he wasnt in my party either so i wasnt sure what the requirements were
They didn't have shit for a VA budget
Bear in mind that ARR had a year and a half and a minuscule budget to turn things around from the disastrous launch of 1.0.
5 different languages, the short dev cycle and the development team themselves dont get that much money
Additional VA just further increases cost needed and development time
Thus longer patches
When you reach the quest that comes before 'Before the Dawn' which is the end of A Realm Reborn in its entirety the voice acting picks up
And they likely see it as too much of an money/time sink to fully VA all the story
And then it's more prevalent through the rest of the story because ARR 2.0 was, surprisingly, very successful
Didn't at start but i am sure they do now. they have 20 million players.. lets say only 10 million play with sub. thats a lot of money.
Which they dont get all of it
That's why everything else has more voice acting
Thatโs not 10m concurrent players. I doubt even WoW has that much anymore
Hell, I donโt think WoW has reached that number in like a decade
Random question but whats the biggest hat you can possibly get as a BLM?
i wonder what statistics ff14 uses as players
jesus
being as there are wait ques in final fantasy they have a lot. SE has announced they have 20 million registered players . and i imagine the active palyers playing are about 1.2 million. Plus there will always be those still paying but not playing.
Hmmm, I was thinking big in terms of brim. Think Big Hat Logan from dark souls
!iglam Goetia Tricorne
This has a curl to it
Anyone not playing is basically guaranteed to not be paying
but on PS4 alone the last check was done in November there were 1.6-2.3 million players playing.
There's people here who let their subs expire and aren't renewing them because they're waiting for 6.0
Again..the 3 main issues
-
Shits fucking expensive to do 5 languages
-
Increased development time thus longer content droughts which leads to lose of sub money
-
The dev team doesn't get 100% of the sub money
i know
what exactly does this have to do with #questions-and-help
it went on a tangant
because at this point it seems more like a discussion
and therefore no longer appropriate for this channel
i was replying to the wynne
ARR MSQ lacked quality because of relaunch, but theres def a lot more cutscenes and VA later on.
Hey funny question before I blow up my party in DR, what effect does the Gambler Essence have on Dynamis Dice?
Do I risk it, do I do it for the meme
Always meme
It's true
Thata DR
Let's do it
Always dice or always Irregular run
I have been told there is a MSQ potion skip? what exactly does it do?
