thorny sinew
#

But for real though, you'll be swimming in Materia just from doing your Expert Roulettes etc. May as well stick 'em in

cloud palm
#

i mean ive never been endgame so it seemed like a waste of time to slot in for gear i'd replace in a level or two

thorny sinew
#

Ahhh, yeah. I can understand that. But do remember that you can right click -> retrieve materia too

cloud palm
#

oh

#

can't remember what i never knew

#

what number is the highest materia?

thorny sinew
#

And since gear doesn't poof when you extract it anymore, you can feel free to extract everything that turns white.

#

Currently? VIII

#

With VII's being used for overmelding

cloud palm
#

oh, well i have a bunch of that

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, if you're just using it to pop two sets of 60 into your gear, it really does add up. With base slots on gear, you're looking at 1140 in substats, split whatever which way

cloud palm
#

What should I focus on as PLD? I know there's specifics and numbers but just generally. Vit?

thorny sinew
#

Vit is like Strength, it'll just scale with the item level of the gear anyhow, so you don't need to worry about that so long as you're always going to a higher ilvl.

#

I believe Paladin is SkS to somewhere around 2.41s (I think) and then Crit?

cloud palm
#

SkS?

thorny sinew
#

Skill Speed

cloud palm
#

Oh gotcha

remote lintel
#

2.42s

thorny sinew
#

There ya go, 2.42s

cloud palm
#

huh, a whole .8 seconds

#

neat

warped nest
#

Ninja, Monk, and maybe Samurai will feel faster

#

Everyone else should feel roughly the same

#

Astrologian might feel faster because their cast time is 1.5s

#

Makes it easier for them to use cards

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, if you want a "fast" class, it's usually just a job that weaves a ton of oGCDs on the norm

cloud palm
#

Hm? No I'm quite happy with my Tunky boi PLD

thorny sinew
#

Dancer with a full feather gauge and lucky Fan Dance III procs, MCH during Hypercharge windows with Gauss/Richo etc

cloud palm
#

.8 just doesn't seem like a whole lot but i guess in the long run it matters

remote lintel
#

its almost an entire second off your gcd

#

wait

#

i cant math

#

it does give you more gcds overall tho

warped nest
#

It is 0.08

remote lintel
#

which is more dmg

cloud palm
#

my b

#

but yeah it just seems like such a small thing

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, if you've somehow got enough SkS stacked to get down to 1.70s that's uh... a lot 😛

cloud palm
#

now that'd be lovely

remote lintel
#

.08 on every gcd adds up

thorny sinew
#

It is, but it really adds up over a fight

#

Ten moves in and you've saved that .8s

warped nest
#

Some jobs need you to squeeze a lot of skill in a tight 10-15s window

#

Hitting the correct speed tier

#

Will make it easy for you to pull it off

thorny sinew
#

Plus, for Paladin that 2.42s is what perfectly fits your burst window

#

Yup

cloud palm
#

i mean i have my rotations and all that but i never do content that i'd say truly warrants perfection

dire prawn
#

Question

#

What does Ten do

remote lintel
#

its not perfection

thorny sinew
#

Whereas Dancer on the otherhand, you get a bunch of SkS and suddenly none of your dances line up. And you just fall down and hate yourself

cloud palm
#

again you're talking to the guy who's never done a savage

dire prawn
#

I'm at the NIN job unlock quest and that's my reward along with Soul of the Ninja

remote lintel
#

its a mudra

thorny sinew
#

Alone? It'll let you use Fuma Shuriken

remote lintel
#

you press it and it changes the ninjutsu

dire prawn
#

Does it do anything at 30

remote lintel
#

like the samurai iaijutsu

#

yes

#

you do the shuriken

thorny sinew
#

Yes it does. Press the button and Mudra will become Fuma Shuriken

dire prawn
#

Oh

remote lintel
#

eventually you get 3 mudras and the order you press them in changes the ninjutsu you execute

warped nest
#

!action Raiton

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Raiton** : lvl 35 NIN (1.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals lightning damage with a potency of 800.
Mudra Combination: Ten→Chi or Jin→Chi
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

thorny sinew
#

Press it twice and then hit Ninjutsu to have the best friend a ninja could ever ask for show up.

warped nest
#

See Mudra Combination

cloud palm
#

I should get to NIN. but he just seems like a one TRICK pony

dire prawn
#

I'm at NIN

warped nest
#

Sir

remote lintel
dire prawn
#

I just gotta do this quest and I'll have the job stone

warped nest
#

This is a question and help channel

#

Have fun, Babeh

thorny sinew
remote lintel
#

you can iirc

#

actions and traits lists everything

thorny sinew
#

Not til you have your job stone on

remote lintel
#

oh right

thorny sinew
cloud palm
#

So now that I have my ley lines as BLM I am to never leave them under any circumstances, right? That's the BLM way?

remote lintel
warped nest
#

Leyline is a utility tool

#

In that it baits AOE

cloud palm
#

And then you pop Manaward and tank that shit

#

BLM is best tank

thorny sinew
#

Mmmm... old Drain hijinks as a BLM

dire prawn
#

I'm gonna pick up THM/BLM as my fourth class/job if Road to 70 ends up being broken enough for me to level three jobs at once and still outlevel MSQ by a horrendous amount

raven burrow
#

hey , is it worth it to spend my revelation tomes for gear if i have a full crafted 510 set ? can be augmented soon ?

cloud palm
#

BLM is fun. Explosions go brr and once you hit 50 you get some fun AOE stuff to melt trash pulls only to get a tank who does 3 enemies at a time and you cry

remote lintel
#

yes

remote lintel
#

theyre augmented via savage righ tnow

raven burrow
#

@remote lintel the crafted gear ?

silver ruin
#

no

#

the tome gear

remote lintel
#

revelation

raven burrow
silver ruin
#

520>530 via savage

remote lintel
#

if you dont plan on doing savage you dont need revelation anyway

#

unless you can afford it then why not

raven burrow
#

when will the crafted be augmentable ?

silver ruin
#

5.5

#

but only to 520

raven burrow
#

anytime soon ? im sitting on 1.7k tomes

silver ruin
#

april 13th

remote lintel
#

just buy tomes gear

raven burrow
#

buy tomes with tomes , gotchu

#

xD

#

okay thanks

remote lintel
#

tomes gear will be augmentable via the 3rd nier raid

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, don't sit capped on your Rev's, that would be a sad day.

raven burrow
#

oh cool

silver ruin
#

besides the weapons

raven burrow
#

think im gonna go for jewelry , thanks :)

silver ruin
#

it'll also be locked to once a week via nier raids, but hunt trains has no limit, but again no weapon upgrade

raven burrow
#

using the emerald rn and waiting for crypt weapon

dire prawn
#

Why in God's name is my DoT on a 70 second cooldown

#

And rolls with my GCD

remote lintel
#

to use under trick attack

dire prawn
#

What is this fuckery

#

Why does it roll with my gcd though

#

If it's on a 70s cd

thorny sinew
#

Because you don't have Huton yet

dire prawn
#

wut

green grail
#

it's just a standalone GCD skill

warped nest
#

What's the name of the skill again

thorny sinew
#

And when you're under Huton, it'll be 15% off that.

green grail
#

shadow fang

remote lintel
#

shadow fang

warped nest
#

!action Shadow Fang

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Shadow Fang** : lvl 30 ROG NIN (70.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 200.
Additional Effect: Damage over time
Potency: 90
Duration: 30s Additional Effect: Increases Ninki Gauge by This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions.

thorny sinew
#

Once you have Huton, you'll always have Huton running. So like it was said, it's made to roll with Trick Attack windows

warped nest
#

Yeah, Shadow Fang

#

Is one of the few long cooldown weaponskill

#

Another example would be, Gunbreaker Gnashing Fang

#

!action Gnashing Fang

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Gnashing Fang** : lvl 60 GNB (30.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 450. Additional Effect: Grants Ready to Rip
Duration: 10s
Cartridge Cost: 1
This weaponskill does not share a recast timer with any other actions.

dire prawn
#

Why doesn't it mention that it rolls with your GCD

raven burrow
#

if dots are used while TA is up , do they get the increased dmg for full duration or just while TA is running ?

dire prawn
#

That's something that would be very fucking nice to know

warped nest
#

Does it say Weaponskill?

remote lintel
#

its a weaponskill

thorny sinew
#

It's a weaponskill, not an ability

warped nest
#

Weaponskill and spell always roll your GCD

thorny sinew
#

^

warped nest
#

If an Ability rolls your GCD, then it will be mentioned in the tooltip

remote lintel
#

if it follows all the other rules then the buff is snapshotted

raven burrow
#

hmm ok

warped nest
#

The buff is set on stone when the skill is used

#

Paladin, for example, apply dot twice in their buff window

#

The second dot is applied right after the first is done, and right before the buff window is closed

raven burrow
#

makes sense , i always was wondering why id blast off all cds during TA even if their duration goes beyond it

rigid wolf
#

How rare is wind up edda?

dire prawn
#

better question

#

How do I get a Wind-up Moogle

remote lintel
#

collectors edition for ARR

thorny sinew
#

Wind-Up Moogle is 2.0 CE

dire prawn
#

Damn

#

So I can't get it ;_;

remote lintel
#

yes you can

thorny sinew
#

Sure you can

remote lintel
#

you can get all the digital collectors edition on mog station

thorny sinew
#

Yep. It's right on the account page iirc, should be a button

#

As to Edda, I'm not sure. She comes from one of the bags in PotD. Iron I think?

cloud palm
#

The real question is how many of my friends do I have to fuggin' get into this game before one of them finally decides to play a Tank or Healer. ALL OF THEM CHOSE A DPS

#

I need someone to carry me through these awful queues

dire prawn
#

Chaka

#

I'm a tank

#

It's literally in my name

cloud palm
#

Yeah but where the fudge you be homie I'll find you rn

hot eagle
#

cloud palm
#

#

dire prawn
#

I'm in Upper La Noscea right now doing the NIN job quest

cloud palm

dire prawn
#

#

Is there any notification if someone trained my choco while i'm offline?

green grail
#

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, FC Activity, Chocobo Log

fallow sonnet
#

Delubrum or POTD for the relic quest?

dire prawn
#

Does Ninjutsu become Fuma Shuriken when I use Ten

thorny sinew
#

Yes

dire prawn
#

Does Ninjutsu also change like Iajutsu does when I combine the different mudra

thorny sinew
#

Yep

dire prawn
#

ohh

thorny sinew
#

Buuuuut, if you muck it up....

dire prawn
#

Bunny?

thorny sinew
#

#

Mmhmm

dire prawn

#

Hi everyone. Iam waiting for an hour already to find a group for Westwind.. :(

remote lintel
#

its morning in EU

scarlet bough
#

I just started the game should I rush to lvl 80 and worry about other stuff after or is there other things I should do?

remote lintel
#

there is literally no reason to rush to endgame and everything is story locked anyway

#

you would have to rush the story

vernal urchin
#

Enjoy the story!

remote lintel
#

this isnt a game where you can level grind

leaden ginkgo
#

How far into the game could I get with JUST the starter edition and the expacs that come with it?

remote lintel
#

lvl 60

zenith plaza
#

Good morning! For the corresponding relic step, how good/bad is the drop rate from Gyr Abania / othard FATEs compared to running the raids? Is it worth doing outdoor FATEs? Thanks in advance! ^^

open ember
#

is the haunting and vexatious memory step only once or

leaden ginkgo
#

How much are the other expacs that you don't get with the starter edition?

remote lintel
#

lvl 80

green grail
#

you only need shadowbringers so like 40$

remote lintel
#

is the cap with expacs

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean like how much do they cost lol

remote lintel
#

its 60$ for the complete edition which includes everything

shrewd owl
#

then what vis said

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright, ty.

zenith plaza
#

Yes, I bought the complete edition for 40€ last June and I don't believe it was on sale

remote lintel
#

well the default price is 60$ so

zenith plaza
#

I meant 40€, oops

dire prawn
#

And doesn't have the limitations of the Free Trial

vernal urchin
zenith plaza
vernal urchin
#

Then it's probably still mediocre

zenith plaza
#

Got it, thank you ^^

leaden ginkgo
cloud palm
#

good option

leaden ginkgo
#

Yea, I probably would've just given up if I didnt tell one of my friends about it and they bought it immediately without knowing anything about it lol.

cloud palm
#

I have a friend like that except he bought literally everything. Game was on sale and he yolo'd so that was cool

#

not even sure if he likes the game

dire prawn
#

That was me

leaden ginkgo
#

lol

dire prawn
#

I started out with free trial and then the game went on sale after the announcement back on the 5th

#

Bought the Complete Edition on PC soon as I found out

leaden ginkgo
#

I was kinda just talking about it in VC and he was like "ok I got it" so another friend and I bought it

obsidian patio
#

@zenith plaza @vernal urchin rates feel greatly improved. Besides a streak of bad luck I had I was getting a memory every 2-3 fates or so.

zenith plaza
#

Well, I guess I'll be preparing my BLU for the FATEs 🙂

#

Thank you!

leaden ginkgo
#

Also, does anyone have any idea why I kept getting an error when I was using ethernet? When I stopped using ethernet the game's downloading fine so far.

Is it frowned upon for the melee DPS to pull and utilize their arm's length for the tank to mop up right after?

obsidian patio
#

Melee pulling instead of the tank just for arm’s length is generally not a thing.

#

Most pulls, when done with an adequate group, die fast enough that having 2 Arm’s Length wouldn’t really matter

#

It also puts extra strain on the healer as DPS are squishier than tanks.

green grail
#

tanks have arm's length too so they can slow mobs on their own, plus more cooldowns and higher hp/defense, so a dps pulling a whole pack is just a loss on all.. fronts

flat yew
#

do you have to enable the armoury bonus somehow (is it a buff like road to 70) or is it just "there"?

green grail
#

it's just there, without any buff icons or anything

leaden ginkgo
#

Anyone know how to fix this?

green grail
#

if you're on a job that isn't currently your highest level, it's active

flat yew
#

ah, okay, thanks

versed delta
#

Can someone help pls ?

obsidian patio
#

@versed delta

versed delta
#

So where can I do that?

leaden ginkgo
#

Top right of chrome, the 3 dots, settings, Cookies and other site data

versed delta
#

I see

#

Can I do that on my phone?

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm not 100% sure.

versed delta
#

I see

#

Thank you for the help

proud hatch
#

so after reading up on the new hotfix alot people say that fate farming is better now for the hw/sb step is that true?

leaden ginkgo
#

Has anyone else had this issue? If so how did they fix it?

quaint birch
#

are you running the game though steam?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yea.

quaint birch
#

if so verify the file integrity in steam.

leaden ginkgo
#

Already tried that.

quaint birch
#

using a file wall?

leaden ginkgo
#

Also I read not to while looking up solutions for this code lol.

quaint birch
#

or antivirus

leaden ginkgo
quaint birch
#

new updates normally get blocked by antiviruses

leaden ginkgo
#

Just windows, but I shut it off earlier.

#

I haven't installed the game yet, this is what's stopping me every time.

quaint birch
#

i would do a full unistall

#

and download it again.

round parcel
#

1,5 hours and still no group for Westwind 😩

quaint birch
#

if not contact support via ticket they may have a fix to walk you though.

dire prawn
#

Else

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh, I see now, every time it's crashed it's subtracting how much of the game I actually need to download, this is just stopping me from leaving it overnight.

#

It went from around 42 to 27 after about the 4th attempt of this.

flat yew
#

how do you most quickly level a second class? do you just go to a level-appropriate area and kill wild mobs until you can do the next class quest or is there more to it?

cold oriole
#

Hello I need your help could you tell me where we buy the final fantasy 14 ps4 subscription (I bought the full version on ps4 with the 30 days free but I can not find the subscription) simple without anything else please help me.

thorny sinew
#

Same way you did your first class, just not with the MSQ. Side quests, PotD, Roulettes, Dungeons, Etc, etc.

shrewd owl
#

well leveling roulette

flat yew
#

ah, okay. I mean all I want is to get archer to 30 so I can annoy a friend with some sick bard tunes anyway haha

thorny sinew
#

Each job gets a bonus to the first time they do a Guildhest too, and those start at 10. So do those for some free exp

flat yew
#

thanks for the tips

cold oriole
#

if you can give me the link to purchase the simple subscription therefore without extension (for ps4) and the procedure to follow I will thank you for it ^^

dire prawn
#

Have you tried logging onto Mog Station

obsidian patio
cold oriole
#

yes check this

proud hatch
#

okay thanks

cold oriole
#

i don't know

#

this is a mog station but

proud hatch
#

it was just when i did void and raba yesterday it took ages to get a group where it was normally instant and it was no experienced players doing it

cold oriole
#

I don't see where the subscription

obsidian patio
#

What are those top 3 buttons for?

cold oriole
#

but this is for a paiement of the extension no ? sorry really for the disturbance

obsidian patio
#

See if there’s also a link to click in the “Subscription” box of the Service Account Status section

proud hatch
#

the only way to buy a subscription without extension is gametime cards

#

if i am not wrong

obsidian patio
#

Using Crysta to buy it also avoids auto renewal

proud hatch
#

ahh okay

cold oriole
#

AH

#

buy a game time with a paysafe card is that ?

#

'^^

silent oriole
#

If I add the pc version to my account that has a PS4 expansion. Will I be able to swap between consoles

obsidian patio
#

I’m not EU so I don’t know what a paysafe card is. Though based on the name it sounds like a prepaid card

dire prawn
#

If not then no

#

They're separate licenses

#

Padjali weapons are bought from the padjali kid near the entrance for 3 aetherpool grips

rigid wolf
#

Ah restore?

#

Yea

#

I had already bought

#

Used as glam

#

So left inventory

#

But i restored

obsidian patio
#

@patent citrus if you mean Essences, then Martialist is your main DPS option

rigid wolf
#

So i guess back in inventory and good aye

shadow valve
#

So somewhat a noob here for stuff like doing mining and leather working etc? Do you do these things for specific classes such as let’s say you Mine materials then make armor for your paladin etc?

obsidian patio
#

If you have a very competent healer and are willing to use mitigation for basicallyall damage you take then Irregular is stronger but vastly riskier

cold oriole
#

a last question how much does playing time cost and how much maximum can we buy playing time and finally can we pay a yearly subscription like 60 € and that it is not to pay per month but well per year?

proud hatch
#

@cold oriole paysafe is a card hardly anyone uses, its a card you can buy at stores with money on, like an itunes card or psn card

obsidian patio
#

Max is 180 days at once

Grand Company FAQ

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:

Grand Company Gear

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.

Finally

quaint birch
#

what is that?

scarlet bough
#

is there a certain disciple of the land i should pick first?

obsidian patio
#

Immortal flames

obsidian patio
#

Fisher is notably less useful since most fish only exist to sell to NPCs or for leve quests, with some being used for Culinarian recipes and a few alchemist ones

quaint birch
#

i take it these are the only gear sets for them?

scarlet bough
#

okay thanks

quaint birch
#

pirate. cool thing and gross yellow?

obsidian patio
#

There’s multiple sets that each one has, but yes that’s their general color schemes

#

The 4th set in that picture (artisan) available from all 3

obsidian patio
quaint birch
#

this immortal flame as well?

shadow valve
#

Ok thank you but my question is if I mainly play tanks which crafter should I invest my time into?

obsidian patio
patent citrus
#

all, so you can repair your own gear

obsidian patio
#

You want to level up all crafters, besides maybe Culinarian, since they share crafting materials and gear with each other

quaint birch
#

i can't decide between immortal flames or maelstorm

obsidian patio
#

A tank chest piece made by Armorer, for example, can require materials from Goldsmith, Leatherworker, Weaver, and Alchemist

shadow valve
#

Ok thank you I’ve been confused at where to start for awhile now just staring the crafting aspect of this game today

quaint birch
#

which one is closer too vespa bay?

#

actually which one is the best for healer in terms of location?

patent citrus
#

all are nice

honest anvil
#

you can just set horizon (iirc) as a fav aetheryte if closeness to vesper bay is of concern

patent citrus
#

why need to be close to vesper bay????

obsidian patio
#

No real notable difference/preference for location

green grail
#

limsa is the closest to vesper bay, you can take a ferry from the arcanist guild to waking sands

#

but it doesnt have anything to do with classes or grand company HQ

quaint birch
#

Arcanist is in the maelstorm right?

patent citrus
#

yeh

quaint birch
#

maelstorm also has my dancing class i want to play?

nova umbra
#

what elemental sprites spawn in fog in pagos?

obsidian patio
#

I don’t think any

quaint birch
#

i also think that its a really pretty area so i will go with maelstorm which is storm officer right?

obsidian patio
#

Yep

patent citrus
#

yeah 😮

dire prawn
#

Storm Officer is Maelstrom yes

patent citrus
#

it's all glamour, so choose what you prefer aesthetically

#

all have up and down

#

i chose immortal since I love sultana and raubahn

dire prawn
#

Marauder and Arcanist both start out in Limsa, and Rogue is available to pick up as well

#

Limsa also has the advantage of the Market Board being right next to the Aetheryte

quaint birch
#

oh yeah i don't fully enjoy the transmog system in final fantasy its probably because i don't fully understand it nor have i had a chance to play with it much.

patent citrus
#

what's transmog again

thorny sinew
#

Glamour

patent citrus
#

ah ok

dire prawn
#

Immortal Flames on the other hand has its GC next to the Aetheryte, while Maelstrom is right next to The Aftcastle Aethernet Shard

patent citrus
#

yeah, if you don't like it, no need to get it 😂

quaint birch
#

i think i like the idea, but find it akward becuase you have to hold onto old equipment you want to use for glamour rifhgt

patent citrus
#

really? o.O

thorny sinew
#

You can put it in your glamour dresser in your inn room.

quaint birch
#

right.. or once you use a glamour shard does it turn that piece of equipment in glamour you can store? or do you have to turn it into permant glamour another way?

patent citrus
#

I don't think so, just put them into glamour dresser hehe

quaint birch
#

i might save glamour for later into teh game and just remember not to sell my sprout gear i like.

shrewd owl
#

Glamour dresser is a thing yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

What do you need to unlock summoner, or do you get it off the start?

thorny sinew
#

If you like something, just repair it and then go toss it in your dresser. You have 400 slots to work with.

#

Arcanist

leaden ginkgo
#

What level arcanist?

thorny sinew
#

30

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright, ty.

patent citrus
#

how does essence works? just use once per DR? 🤔

thorny sinew
#

All jobs that have a base class are 30

patent citrus
#

so I got martialist, ordained and irregular

#

not sure which one to use 😂

quaint birch
#

oh at what level do i get to play music as an archer?

patent citrus
#

oh nvm i was told to use martialist o_o

quaint birch
#

after that i want to switch to arcanist/ dancer

shrewd owl
#

30

patent citrus
#

30

#

dancer is lv 60

shrewd owl
#

When you get bard

quaint birch
#

oh im level 33? do i have to do a quest to get the bard?

thorny sinew
#

Archer becomes bard at 30

shrewd owl
#

Yes

patent citrus
#

yeah, you'll need bard lv 30

thorny sinew
#

Yep, do your archer class quests and then do the bard unlock

quaint birch
#

bard in the archers guild?

patent citrus
#

it's another blue quest in mia khati aetheryte

#

i forgot the name of the aetheryte... mia something in gridania

shrewd owl
#

Mih khetto

patent citrus
#

yeah that >.<

warped nest
#

It's right outside of archer guild iirc

patent citrus
#

what do you think of irregular essence for DR? too extreme?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

patent citrus
#

ok ty ty, ill use martialist

obsidian patio
#

You basically need to be babysit by healers and use mitigation for raidwide damage to survive

#

And getting hit by any unintended damage will usually one-shot you

patent citrus
#

nice ^.^

#

ty for the detailed explanation

quaint birch
#

hairdresser dude is cool. when do i get a hairdresser class to style on my enemies~ mooglethink

gritty cedar
leaden ginkgo
#

Can I use the stormblood classes if I dont buy stormblood and just buy shadowbringer?

quaint birch
#

oh wait

green grail
#

you get stormblood by buying shadowbringers

#

so yes

quaint birch
#

my lancer is also 30

#

does that mean my lancer gets upgraded too?

green grail
#

yes, do your class quests and you'll be a dragoon

patent citrus
#

I see, yeah my DRK isn't geared unfortunately

#

no weapon >.>

#

beside i'm practicing GNB so i'll use martilist hehe

quaint birch
#

can't find the bard quest?

patent citrus
#

check out the quest under your MSQ banner

#

click it

#

you are an archer, not a bard 😂

quaint birch
#

i know

#

but how do i become a bard

#

when my archer is 30

patent citrus
#

you've done the job quest?

quaint birch
#

i was told at 30 as an archer you can unlock and become a bard

patent citrus
#

if yes, wear your job stone

quaint birch
#

i have done all my archer and spear quests

#

what is a job stone?

patent citrus
#

the quest dialogue should tell you to wear jobstone

#

bottom right of your equipment, click it

green grail
#

most archer/bard quests are in i think central shroud

shrewd owl
#

You literally have a quest notification on the top left

quaint birch
#

don't have one

#

No i don't

warped nest
#

!faq job

zinc orbitBOT
#
How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

shrewd owl
#

Oh

#

You’re too early in the msq

patent citrus
#

ohhhhhhh make sense yeah

warped nest
#

Have you reach the level 20 msq

patent citrus
#

you need to proceed the MSQ first, everything is unlocked behind the story

quaint birch
#

Thank you Fiddler!

patent citrus
#

yep

shrewd owl
#

ye ye

patent citrus
#

please continue the MSQ, it's very important since everything is locked behind it

quaint birch
#

i am

#

its just the main story quest is not as fun as the rest of the game

dire prawn
#

Well the rest of the game is locked behind the MSQ

patent citrus
#

wah RIP, the game is story based 😂 if you don't like reading

dire prawn
#

Also, you're only like two quests away from the one that unlocks job quests

quaint birch
#

whats wrong with enjoying the rest of hte games quest

thorny sinew
#

To be fair, where you are in the MSQ is... look it gets better

#

Like, it improves a lot

quaint birch
#

That's like saying your not allowed to enjoy Mcdonalds fries if you don't like the burger and you must buy a burger to be allowed the fries Vielen..

patent citrus
#

nothing ^.^

dire prawn
#

I mean

#

That's how this game works

#

If you want to do other stuff you have to do the MSQ

patent citrus
#

and bad anology, everything is unlocked behind it you can't enjoy the rest of the stuffs if you havne't finished the story

gilded palm
#

soo, im a returning player from when Free Trial was from 1-35 and haven't played for 2 years, tried playing it again last day and basically i got overwhelmed and forgot most of my stuff and got uncomfortable playing, like joining an ongoing DnD campaign where you have no clue how to play and you're a level 10 wizard soo question is if i should delete my character and start over because im super wanting to do that as i forgot a lot.

dire prawn
#

I would start over if you haven't played in two years

thorny sinew
#

I mean, one way to go about it is just switch to a different class and go from there. But 35 is nothing in the long run, and if you don't have anything special on them and want to start over, there is zero harm in that

#

Starting fresh will let the game teach you, well, the game. You'll get to cover all the things you forgot

gilded palm
#

yeah, other than a july event thing i don't have a lot of stuff.

#

just cosmetics

#

like a fox mask

thorny sinew
#

So yeah, if you're on the single character sub, you can delete and start fresh. If you pay a standard sub though, you can just create a new character with no worries

gilded palm
#

im in single character sub

shrewd owl
#

What level is your character

wintry chasm
#

I wouldn't even bother deleting that character

#

Yeah what level are you?

leaden ginkgo
#

What's single character sub?

wintry chasm
#

!faq subprice

zinc orbitBOT
#
Subscription Prices
wintry chasm
#

The entry sub

thorny sinew
#

Basic sub costs uh... 11.99 a month... there ya go

wintry chasm
#

where it's 1 character per world 8 characters max

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah so it's 2$ cheaper?

#

3*

thorny sinew
#

Yep. I replace the offset cost with an extra retainer slot.

wintry chasm
gilded palm
#

35 on Black Mage, Summoner, White Mage and Ninja, level 29 on Paladin and level 13 on Dragoon and level 6 on Pugilist

wintry chasm
#

Ah yeah that's not that bad

leaden ginkgo
#

When you buy the actual game for the first time, what version of a sub do you get?

thorny sinew
#

The free period is standard.

shrewd owl
#

oh thats quite a bit of progression

wintry chasm
#

You can start over if you want, and if you, do should ABSOLUTELY join a preferred server, you'd be able to get that progression back easy and then some

shrewd owl
#

true

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, honestly it's not much progression at all. Especially if you're staring blankly and already want to restart.

#

Especially on a preferred server like Cal said

wintry chasm
#

It's a notable amount of progression if you don't join a preferred server I'd say

leaden ginkgo
#

What's a preferred server?

gilded palm
#

okay, im currently on Brynhildr

agile laurel
#

!preferred aether

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

List of preferred worlds for Aether:
Midgardsormr

agile laurel
#

those

#

or that, rather

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah so the server my friend told me to join.

shrewd owl
#

!preferred crystal

gilded palm
#

Brynhildr because my friends are there

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

List of preferred worlds for Crystal:
Coeurl
Diabolos
Goblin
Malboro
Zalera

gilded palm
#

soo, on those servers on Crystal, i can create a character there and be fine

agile laurel
#

well you can create a character anywhere

#

it's just only those will give you the road to 70 bonus

leaden ginkgo
#

What's the difference besides normal and preferred worlds?

thorny sinew
#

Yeah, if your friends are on Byrn, you can still play with them if you have a character on the preferred Crystal servers there

leaden ginkgo
#

What's the road to 70 bonus?

wintry chasm
#

preferred gives the road to 70 buff which doubles ALL sources of xp gain levels up to level 70

agile laurel
#

kind of what it sounds like, boosted xp fro-

#

yes

thorny sinew
#

The only thing you wouldn't be able to do is uh... join their FC

wintry chasm
#

and lasts 90 days usually

gilded palm
#

i see

wintry chasm
#

also if it's your first time leveling on a preferred server you get 15 days game time when hitting level...30?

gilded palm
#

tbh, i would ask where most my friends play on

agile laurel
#

also works on alt jobs under 70 incidentally

wintry chasm
thorny sinew
#

Any server on the same data center can play together.

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Only thing you wouldn't be able to do if you aren't on the same server is be in the same Free Company

gilded palm
#

yeah

#

i know 2 of my friends are from Brynhildr

leaden ginkgo
#

Is a free company like a guild?

thorny sinew
#

And again, you don't have to start over. I assure you that you will be able to get back into the swing with your current character. But you're also not super invested in that character yet, especially if you hit up a preferred. Basically, just pick whichever one you're more comfortable with, and it'll all work out.

#

Yes

wintry chasm
wintry chasm
gilded palm
wintry chasm
#

relearning the plot so far less so but even then at this point it's largely worldbuilding

thorny sinew
#

Well, do remember that there's a bunch of jobs you haven't even unlocked yet

#

So you do have the option of just going and grabbing one of them, which would start you at 1

quaint birch
thorny sinew
#

And give you a chance to learn from scratch

shrewd owl
#

Some spells could’ve been rendered irrelevant depending on what expac you stopped on

thorny sinew
#

Another option you have is using your current job and heading into Palace of the Dead.

#

You start there at level 1, and level up quickly as you progress. Which would give you a natural introduction to what your skills use.

gilded palm
#

true, this is hard to decide, i have a hard time with myself when it comes to MMORPGs or RPGs in general

wintry chasm
thorny sinew
#

And there is the Hall of the Novice as well, to help you with the roles themselves.

wintry chasm
#

thing is PotD leveling is pretty fast so it might not give time to really sink stuff in

thorny sinew
#

Still one skill at a time to get reacquainted with them

thorny sinew
gilded palm
thorny sinew
#

Hey, if it's overwhelming and you'd be more comfortable starting over, at least you get to play around with the character creator!

gilded palm
#

true

#

i'd just end up being human tbh XD

#

dunno why i play as the standard human character in MMOs

shrewd owl
#

thats perfectly fine

#

too many lizard girls and catgirls in this game anyway

gilded palm
#

probably to be 'generic man'

leaden ginkgo
#

Do certain races have special abilities/buffs?

shrewd owl
#

Nope

leaden ginkgo
#

So they're purely cosmetic?

shrewd owl
#

no it just means you can level another class

#

yes chawtle

gilded palm
#

i'd be a ninja wearing rogue clothes.

shrewd owl
#

Where are you reading this

warped nest
#

It should mean the player uses White Mage to do story, and play Scholar for fun on the side

#

Otherwise, it is just plain gibberish

#

How old is that?

thorny sinew
#

Ooooooold

obsidian patio
#

At least 6-7 years

warped nest
#

Anything older than 1 year is consider obsolete

shrewd owl
#

That is very outdated

Whenever you read anything about XIV, check the date

obsidian patio
#

Secondary class requirement got removed with stormblood

warped nest
#

I thought it is Heavensward?

quaint birch
#

how do i get seals?

obsidian patio
#

Grand company hunting log, fates, and duty roulettes

#

If you’re trying to get the chocobo mount do the next story quest

quaint birch
#

when i first start? i can't do hunting till 50 right?

obsidian patio
#

Different type of hunting

quaint birch
#

oh okay do next sotry

#

story

obsidian patio
#

The hunting log is a 1-50 thing for ARR classes and the grand company which works as a checklist of things to kill for experience and grand company seals.

#

Grand Company/Clan Hunts is the system at the level caps where you grab bills for daily/weekly hunt targets, along with rare spawns, and kill them for hunt-specific currency

If you want to be lazy and not worry about catching specific fish, just use the Versatile Lure as it works at all levels for all types of fishing holes.

ive been trying that for the past few times

yes im on pc

dusty jungle

It does not

leaden ginkgo
#

Unfortunate.

dusty jungle
#

Are you using dx11?

frosty hemlock
#

yes

dusty jungle
#

Go to where you have the game installed: FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\game\sqpack and delete ex2 That'll remove Stormblood and force the launcher to redownload those assets without redownloading the entire game.

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a way to speedup the download? Its been over 3 hours and I've only done like 20 GB

#

I was using ethernet and it brought my speed up by .15 mbs

#

Usually it brings be from maybe 4-5 mbs to 30+

forest sage
#

their servers might be slowed down due to the free campaign, not sure, although 20gb/s is decently fast already, it's just a big client, that's why I never uninstall the game, worst case I just move it on an old HDD

quaint birch
#

20 Gigabites a second is a little more then fast.

leaden ginkgo
#

oops

#

I meant gigabytes

#

LOL

#

like in total*

im downloading it at 2-3MB/s wearycarby

thats more normal

leaden ginkgo

ive got 2 atm

quaint birch

when you download shit you tend to get throttled.. when i have 200 download per second i tend to only down 80mb/ps. a lot of the time a lot less

#

yeah 1.82 MB/s looks better.

frosty hemlock
#

im jealous of people who have amazing download speed

quaint birch
#

looks like it will take about 3ish more hours

#

ehhh

I usually have amazing damage but idk what's up with it atm

quaint birch

i have high download but im with virgin media s

despite opening my ports and doing everything on my side i can to improve the connection to the server

#

all i can do now is buy a VPN. which i don't really want to do.

frosty hemlock

i had a friend who had that error every 10 minutes

#

i felt bad for him

quaint birch
#

well

#

since i started playing

which was about 4 days ago

#

i get it

#

about 5 times a day.

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh I figured out what was causing the 30437 error

quaint birch
#

and it always happens while i am waiting in a que for a dungeon that takes 10 mintues to find.

#

oh what was it?

leaden ginkgo
#

When I went like AFK or didnt move my mouse for some time

#

It would assume I just wasn't there and stop the download

quaint birch
#

oh wow

#

thats surreal

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah

#

Thank god I moved my laptop back into my bedroom instead of my backroom wired in

#

I only lose .40 mbs for download

#

without using ethernet

quaint birch
#

that's like when the Youtube say's im going to pause the 4 hour video you put on becuase "i don't think your there you haven't moved the mouse yet "

leaden ginkgo
#

lol

quaint birch
#

i would say try getting a CAT6 cable.. but i doubt it will help depending on your router and ISP.

#

CAT6 is same speed as a cat5 ehternet cable but has a larger bandwidth so it can ddownload more at once pretty much.

You need to actually unlock materia melding, which is Waking the Spirit over at mutamix

What’s the best channels to ask for help creating an FC? Just need two people to leave their fc and make mine real quick but I asked in middle of limsa and nobody wanted to know. Offering 1 mil gil to anyone who can help (is that not a lot of gil anymore? Been away from game over a year so maybe I’m just not offering enough money lol).
Also I’m on Omega.

forest sage
#

if you're offering 1m in limsa it shouldn't be so bad, although it's somewhat the middle of the day

#

you can try Bozjan entrance, Gridania, Uldah, Ishgard, Crystarium and such too

rigid ingot
#

Well yeah there were hundreds of people in limsa as usual so assumed at least two would want some free money but no lol. Might ask around some different places then, just didn’t want to mess people around dragging them to Limsa but then for a mill gil it’s not like I’m asking a lot.

lets say i currently have enough mettle to enter castrum, if i somehow die to it will I be unable to re-enter until I reach a certain mettle threshold?

There's no mettle thresholds

white eagle

After ranking hp

#

ok

#

Mettle is fucking useless after you finish ranking

Also even if you die you get like 17k for completing it

Outside the 72k weekly

#

ok

You get more based on your rank

i havent cleared it yet so im kinda anxious abt entering it l,mao

Its piss easy

Its not that bad

Dont stand in bad stupid

#

And you're good

#

Use dps essenses

#

And roll over stuff

#

And follow your party

#

This is the most important tip
As long as you follow your party you should be fine

#

ok

#

what if my party doesnt know what theyre doing

faint flare
#

Someone will

white eagle
#

Death then

wintry chasm
#

and if they somehow don't then hey fun times working it out

faint flare
#

Someone should call out where each party goes

thorny sinew
#

Then I guess, I dunno, you use 80 levels of experience to see mechanics and uh, do them?

vivid swallow
#

oh uh

#

i dont know them though

#

oops

green grail
#

first boss needs 3 parties top and 3 bottom, after that each party needs to call out one of the 6 direction/corridors, clear the trash, open the rooms, save the prisoner, stand on the button, thats it

vivid swallow
#

My "80 levels of experience" wont tell me what specific mechanics the bosses might have, oh no

faint flare
#

Mechanics are very telegraphed

#

Bosses show off their mechanics

#

Before mixing them with others

#

👏 pay 👏 attention

white eagle
#

@vivid swallow do you wanna go blind or go with knowledge

thorny sinew
#

Except that they actually will. If you can't see a bad circle and not stand in it well... And specifically for this dungeon, the bosses show you what to do on their first use. It teaches you as you go along

Is there a way to make sure my pc can actually run this game? I completely forgot about that before I bought it lol

faint flare
#

Alot of 14 bosses show off their mechanics

!faq benchmark

thorny sinew
white eagle
leaden ginkgo
#

I tried that, all it was, was cinematics

vivid swallow
#

ty

thorny sinew
green grail
#

thats what a benchmark is

leaden ginkgo
#

ah

open coral
leaden ginkgo
#

how many cinematics were there?

faint flare
#

It uses your computer to run them

thorny sinew
#

Basically, if you finished the benchmark and the cast at the end wasn't booing you, you're probably fine.

leaden ginkgo
#

I kinda just assumed that my pc could run if because the cinematics were extremely smoothe

white eagle
#

As long as your PC isnt a potato with wires you should be able to Run this game

green grail
#

it runs a scenario in the game engine with a lot of effects and character models showing at once to see how it will run

#

at the end you get a result and a meaningless number score

#

but it'll say like "very high" or "not enough" or whatever

#

its like 5-10 mins long

white eagle
#

My old laptop only had an i5 4200u gt820m 1 GB and 4 gigs of RAM and i ran the game really well on low

#

Only in main cities would i have fps drop bellow 60

leaden ginkgo
#

ok yea i can definitely run it lol

white eagle
#

Yeeee

#

If anything just dont have discord Open on the background cuz it takes alot of resources

leaden ginkgo
#

ah maybe that's why wow would lag so badly sometimes

#

most games I'm fine with discord open

#

but if I have chrome open my pc melts

white eagle
#

Discord can make me lose 5-10 fps

#

Wich isnt much on my new PC but on the old it made a big difference

#

And yes Chrome bad

#

For new browser i recomend opera gaming or firefox

leaden ginkgo
#

I actually tried out the opera GX thing

#

I kinda didnt hate it but I didnt really like it

white eagle
#

Fair

leaden ginkgo
#

tbh I like firefox but i'm too lazy to go download it lol

white eagle
#

The good part about it is that you can lower how much resources it uses from your pc

leaden ginkgo
#

Yea I saw that

#

that's the main reason I downloaded it

white eagle
#

If anything Microsoft Edge isnt garbage anymore só you can also try that

leaden ginkgo
#

I dont use microsoft edge because when I was like 13 some dude pulled my ip and was like "why're you using internet explorer"

#

So I kinda just moved to chrome and haven't really touched it

white eagle
#

Thats fair yeah

open rivet
#

is a .8% det damage loss acceptable for gaining 1.2% crit chance & crit damage?

forest sage
#

well is that an actual det tier? generally I'd say yes but even more so if you're using averages and not considering det tiers instead, that said it won't make a big difference either way

open rivet
#

👍

ocean acorn
#

I just finished Future's rewritten. Kind of lost what to unlock now. Are there any guides on what raids to unlock etc ?

which is the best wiki? theres seems to be so many

faint flare
#

Gamer escape usually

split thunder
#

ah ok thanks

fast talon
#

does castrum trigger at the same time within a data center? like if i notice its already on going is there any chance I can find an instance of bozja where it hasnt started yet.

strange coral
#

The timing is based on the southern front instance. Not the server or datacenter.

#

I think it was 50 minutes after instance is created and every hour after that, provided that there are enough players in the instance that qualify for it.

fast talon
#

so hopping trying to go in and out of bozja looking for different instances could lead me to finding one where its not ongoing then?

strange coral
#

Potentially yes, if there is more than one instance running

fast talon
#

Thanks

delicate field
#

how do you use limit break

faint flare
#

Actions and traits > general > limit break

delicate field
#

nice thx

#

is it just me or does the UI take some getting used to?

strange coral
#

If you're coming from another game with a different UI, then yea maybe

tropic frigate
#

The game keeps crashing for me all of sudden. Anyone else having the same issue?

strange coral
#

I know coming from wow, I was annoyed that I couldn't get the UI laid out exactly like I had it in wow, but I got used to it and found something that worked for me.

tidal yarrow
#

to upgrade waist you need e10s books?

#

or e9s'

faint flare
#

10s as that buys the accessory upgrade

leaden ginkgo
#

why am i unable to be a 6'4 bunny girl.

#

unlocks around lvl58 msq and it's ilvl270

raw tusk
#

Quick question, how can I get onto the Tonberry server? Whenever I look its locked

faint flare
#

Wait until late at night

raw tusk
#

It somewhat is, almost midnight

twilit patrol
#

I am 15 minutes in Q for Thornmarch (Hard) as a tank, maybe i should Q up as a dps or a healer?

faint flare
#

Late at night /early morning is usually the time

raw tusk
#

So more like 3am?

faint flare
#

Just about

twilit patrol
#

finding people for old raids is a pain 😦

raw tusk
#

Woulda thought with all the changes they made this woulda been a big one, especially with no aussie servers and just one aussie world

#

if I buy a transfer do I need to wait for a server to open or does it bypass it

faint flare
#

Transferring bypasses the temporary lock

#

You can just make on Kuja and world visit

raw tusk
#

World Visit?

faint flare
#

Yes

raw tusk
#

aren't guilds and stuff per world tho?

faint flare
#

Guilds yes

#

But those are primarily social

#

Kuja is kinda a backup Tonberry

raw tusk
#

Kinda XD no harm joining and doing a guild search at least

leaden ginkgo
#

Transferring character from one world to another will this action transfer all my retainers?

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

O nice

faint flare
#

Everything comes with you

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you!!!

raw tusk
#

Is the quickest levelling crap still just like, house of the undead or whatever

faint flare
#

Until 60 for dps

open coral
#

And that's only if you have queue times greater than 15 minutes.

raw tusk
#

god I cant remember shit XD does the valentines event have anything good or like, can I transfer some old gold or items like phantasias/outfits to a new character?

faint flare
#

It has a hat

open coral
#

It's a moogle hat with a heart-shaped pom

raw tusk
#

tfw you realise ur 20 set outfits are all on NA ;-;

#

sorry for all the questions XD can I skip the main/hw story set if I level past them? dont wanna do those again

faint flare
#

Buying a skip

open coral
#

You will still need to do certain content unlocks even if you buy the skip though.

raw tusk
#

coolsies, is there an account storage/can I mail gold n stuff to my new char?

faint flare
#

No

raw tusk
#

oh, like what Aura?

open coral
#

Crystal Tower

raw tusk

Oh guess I need shadowbreakers if I wanna do any proper group/endgame stuff and make a bunny right

faint flare
#

Yes

nova umbra
#

will they ever let us glamour outside of cities you think?

faint flare
#

Maybe

#

With plates

nova umbra
#

my gathering glamours cry

raw tusk
#

is shadowbreakers the only "big" patch since stormblood, if I wanna see the major changes n stuff since I last played

faint flare
#

Its the expansion after

#

With currently 4 story parties after the expansion levelling story

raw tusk
#

60 and a sub, ouchy XD

nova umbra
#

when do challenge logs for eureka start slowing down?

#

as in, become less worth to do

faint flare
#

Never really

#

They scale

nova umbra
#

um... this is more of a discord question... how do I mute a server for a while so that I don't see the notification numbers popping up? Muting only blocks the notification sound, but I still see the number (asking because of hunt discords)

#

or is it even possible

strange coral
#

Server notification settings and select Nothing should stop all pings

ocean fractal
#

Is it normal for new player not to find anyone for instances ?

nova umbra
#

depends on what you're queuing up for

strange coral
#

Or it might be the Suppress all role mentions settings

ocean fractal
#

Sastasha ....part of campaign quest

nova umbra
#

stuff like extreme trials you will basically never find for duty finder

faint flare
#

Just a matter of patience

#

Everything for the story is in roulettes

#

So it pops EVENTUALLY

nova umbra
#

queuing up for dungeons, totally dependent on your role

faint flare
#

Just be patient

nova umbra
#

if you're dps, it'll take way longer than healer/tank

ocean fractal
#

Ok tyvm

leaden ginkgo
#

how did someone just

get on a pig

#

Anyone know of any FC that accept new players ?

#

Basically alot of them

When do I get my first mount?

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

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

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

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

'Can I make my mount faster?'

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

or look in the recruitment text channels in this discord

#

you should see them I think if you chose your data center

dense hound
#

Besides overworld mobbing, what's the best way to level Blue Mage? Is it to put out a PF lookin for other BLU's and go through dungeons?

warm snow
#

Yeah but odds are you'll level up fast through mobbing while you wait

#

Also beast tribes

strange coral
#

Just overworld mobs. Don't do dungeons for leveling, do them for learning spells and the BLU log.

dense hound
#

I should probably look into beast tribes, but my BLU is only 17.

faint flare
#

Overworld mobs give far more xp

#

Nothing else does

#

Or at least barely as much

#

If you have a 80 friend, just tag mobs over at khlosuia beach

#

Be 70 in a few hourd

dense hound
#

I'll ask my FC. By "tag", you mean have me shoot a water spout or something at an enemy and then have them pick it up and kill it?

faint flare
#

Yep

#

Grab flying Sardine

#

For a insta cast spell

#

For tagging

#

You tag them, 80 kills it for you
