Its a story dungeon that gives no gear
150 poetics per run
So itngives more poetics instead
Eureka nm trains are good too
I just got eureka quest
Though Syrcus Tower is a decent substitute if queues for ARF are long
Since people are running the various 24-mans due to the new relic steps
also doin hunt trains
Nice I can get i400 gear for my lv 70 classes instead of dumping them for the relic mats
also if not yet done could unsync coils and alex for the first time bonus
also uh
Done with them :/
wonderous trails is a weekly 500
Sources of poetics are plentiful
Tru
@little swift thank u!
How do I become a summoner once I've finished all the quests and hit level 30?
All of the arcanist quests*
is there a HoH for the current expansion?
kinda
It's not a deep dungeon Cyan but it is a method for leveling 70-80 and it's part of the relic questline
impossible to miss?
Talk to the guild master and take the quest
Are you passed the msq sylph management @leaden ginkgo
If not you need to do more msq
I'm like 10 quests away then.
I dont think so.
What's the name of the MSQ you're on rn
A proper burial
it's the southern front of bozja, unlock the gangos hub area in rhalgr's reach, then do blue quests in there
Are you on Midgardsormr?
yes.
That explains it
havent actually started the current expansion yet, grabbing a tank class and then I guess gotta level it to 60 before starting it
is there a list of dailies/weeklies or is it just roulettes
If you're on A Proper Burial you're a bit away from Sylph-management
'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.
Literally the quest after you choose a GC
with blu update, does it provide source for "easy" centurio seals? or we can only earn allied seal via blu?
For the wolf mounts is it easier to go in with lv80 unsync
Yeah
Someone here who might be able to tell me why the FC im in only has 3 airships and 1 submarine ? when i checked in google it says we can have 4 of each, but i cant register any new ones đŽ
Kill faster = farm faster
Ravana, Bismarck, Sophia, and maybe Sephirot should be OK to solo farm
Unsure about Thordan, Nidhogg, and Zurvan. They have been soloed, but it is probably not gonna be comfy for you
Yeah, assuming level 80
Regarding wolves, Lakshmi can be soloed, but it is not gonna be comfy. I don't think the rest can be soloed.
I c
At least one of the Stormblood trials are mechanically not possible to be soloed afaict
Susano has a phase transition
Yeah, no soloing Phoenix.
Where someone need to tank a sword attack, and everyone else need to break swords
Others are "you need lvl 90 stat to solo"
Hmm, I didn't even think about good ol' Sus. Has someone done Phoenix? I thought DDR pretty much stopped solo attempts?
Huh, I stand corrected. Looks like DDR goes off the headcount, so you can do it alone. Interesting....
If you mean phoenix from the binding coils, easy enough to solo
Or do you mean suzaku?
No, Suzaku. Talking about the SB
ok, i think im gonna start this game with the least known class for me, Warrior
As warrior, this fight is possible at 0% echo but it is extremely tight on healing in the 2nd phase, I struggle at 10%. At this gear level this fight is a marathon, not a sprint so it is best to play it safe.
Recently learned that I should use upheaval much more frequently as it is the most efficient way to spend beast gauge.
shrugs at you
The part that staved me off from trying was the assumption that all 8 arrows would come at her during DDR. Doesn't seem to be the case
Ok, imma go Marauder, go to another context of level 1 to 15, not gonna be on Ul'dah even if I like that battle theme more than the one in Linsa Lominsa
Where do i obtain loathsome memories of the dying, and if i queue up that raid as a tank (even though my relic weap prog is for a dps), will I still be able to obtain the memory?
So long as you have the active quest for that step, you'll get memories on any job, yes.
oki
Dying is Crystal Tower and Castrum in Bozja
Well, I dunno, I'm between Paladin and Warrior for start
Wanna begin as a tank this time
Wrong, loathsome memories come from ct, Crit engagements and castrum
that's normal mode
they're all memories of dying
i thought you guys were talking about mount farm?
Yeah, I put the wrong part of it. It's still what he asked for.
Or, I dunno, Summoner? I began the game as a black mage first time, I could go back as a summoner
crystal tower being Syrcus, Ancients, and WoD?
Yup
is there a particular one that ppl r running?
Scyrus specifically is fastest of the 3
thats faster
Ahh, it is normal. I honestly only checked for the DDR mechanic.
ok
Yeah, I think I wanna start with doing magic instead of being good at fighting.
So just got to heavensward can anyone recommend any of the new classes and which is better or pros and cons of said classes?
When I reach Heavensword I'm gonna immediately head for Machinist
I thought the same but man dark knight the edgy is calling me xD
Dark Knight has a good story
I mean, not really a better to be had there. They're three different roles. But storywise, yeah, Dark knocks it out of the park.
Oh yeah I also wanna do Dark Knight
And Astrologist
Because my luck-based builds are tingling me
Is Astrologist like luck-based? Because cards?
No
No
Oh ok, I guess its the internal Ecaflip from Wakfu that is calling for me to play as Astrologist then
Honestly, play Astrologian for no other reason than their Melee Animation.
There is a lot of classes im gonna go back to
But yeah, I might start with Arcanist
Then build my way up to other classes
Beautiful thing about the game, you can play all of them. No having to pick and choose.
Good. Enjoy it!
Just don't want headgear, the horn part is just, bleeh
There's a button at the bottom of your character sheet that looks like a little hat. It toggles your helm display. You can hide it
Good
Also might try Dragoon
And Marauder
And others
... I'm gonna have a field day with these.
I started a PotD save as pugilist; any way to convert it to monk?
Oh yeah, question, how many Bahamuts are in this game total?
I'm not sure how I'd quantify that but in terms of lore ||3||
lore-wise like, ||2 on screen and one off screen||
^
But there is also Summoner Bahamut
||normal Bahamut|| ||primal Bahamut|| ||Lunar Bahamut||
encounter-wise probably like a dozen or so, if you count every possible iteration
Okay I guess that counts, ||4||
If you put the eureka weapon, in my case the caladbolg, for glamour, can you remove it from glamour and have it back as a weapon? - Asking in case Pyros' ending needs me to have the weapon to make it glow to progress to Hydatos.
And how many forms the summoner bahamut can take?
yes, you can take things out of the dresser whenever you want
Okay, thanks!
...1 
From the dresser? You put replicas in the glamour dresser, not the actual reclis
Im trying to make the joke from FFVII Machinabridged
||I'd say saying there are 4 is a spoiler itself|| Wolfy
you can put normal relics in the dresser too, i took out my dnc one yesterday to continue bozja
Oh
may be different for older expansion ones i guess
Soo i spoiled myself XD
Technically but is it really that bad? Probably not for you
Nah
Everyone knows that every Final Fantasy game has a Bahamut
Im still a newbie to the FF series too, I still need to finish FFIX
can someone tell me what skin color scheme looks good on miqotes in cutscenes? I've already spent quite some money on fantasia and i can't seem to nail the skin color. Depending on the lightning, especially if it's dim, my character literally looks terrible, like a kid drawing. I don't know if it happens to everyone or just me
Can you not just use the character creator to try out the skin colours in different lighting?
Would save blowing money on fantasias
try the benchmark, it has some scenes of a character you can make in the creator in different light
Yeah, looks like it. I just checked, I can put any of the relics from Bozja in there, but my old stuff just doesn't show up as an option. Strange.

im looking to transfer to aether, is gilgamesh a good choice?
how low is the droprate in fates for the second to last shb relic step ? the one where u have to do HW/SB raids
sometimes I see people calling out letters in bozja whats that about
hey, is there a EXP List for Palace of Dead? i try to find out what is smarter to do with lv 41 - sometimes the lv 1-10 runs take a lot longer with the wrong teammates
ppl spam floors 51-60 for exp in potd
51-60 has shortest queues and higher exp than previous floors so yeah ^
i heard 20-25%
hmm okay thanks
Potd_exp(with good formulas)
Level,Exp to Level Up,Exp Gained
Floors 1 - 10,Exp Gained
Floors 11 - 20,Exp Gained
Floors 21 - 30,Exp Gained
Floors 31 - 40,Exp Gained
Floors 41 - 50,Exp Gained
Floors 51 - 60,Exp Gained
Floors 61 - 70,Exp Gained
Floors 71 - 80,Exp Gained
Floors 81 - 90,Exp Gained
...
probably calling the directions of corridors in castrum, since each group has to save a prisoner in one of the 6 directions
okay. as a monk i focused before on fates in mor dhona and the highest dungeon. maybe i should do palace
thanks for the list
for floors 1-50 if you never did it you are better to make a pf since these floors are often dead and arent done a lot, so you unlock floors 51-60
Is there an emote you can get like the character creation emote your char does when inspecting itself?
think it's just /examineself, a default emote
Why can't I locate any unspoiled mining points
they spawn at specific eorzean time hours
are you in the level range to see it?
Truth of the Forests/Mountains turned on?
I got a timeworn relic from floor 1 - 10 of PotD, was this a bug or just because I'd never done it before? e.e
they can drop from any floor probably
i dunno why im looking online on player behavior in the FFXIV servers
i think im looking online for a good world to create a character with a playerbase that would be fun to play in.
Is there somewhere I can look to see the BiS melds for crafters gear
What's the best thing to do for last relic quest between Delubrum and Palace?
I distinctly remember there were pugilist knuckles that were invisible but had fire insignias above the hands when unsheathed
Does anyone know where you can obtain these?
Garo weapons. They're gone now.
the ones with one of the Twelve's symbols?
I looked it up but the insignia doesn't look quite right
yeah the 70 artifact gear is probably the closest thing you can get now, but they're not invisible
Best in Slot for DoH/DoL arenât really a thing since they entirely depend on what youâre looking to craft and how comfortable/fast you want your crafting to be.
!faq balance
The balance discord has a few sample sets in their resource channel if you want to look there.
that's the ones from the garo crossover that ended
@obsidian patio thanks for the help
(they're more red in a non-endless-void-of-blue-light area)
!itemglam Antiquated Sudarshana Chakra
Hi all
Struggling to match with anyone to complete the Temple of Qarn on hard!
Is there anyway to encourage more people to join me?
Can you get script for submitting dragon obisian
Only rarefied items can be turned in at the scrip appraisers for scrips
got 303 bozja coin
what to do with it o_o silver
trade to field note -> lock box -> open?
Plain bozja coins are used to buy the i495 Bozja gear, which can be augmented to give haste in Bozja/Delubrum. Each point of Haste reduces your GCD by 0.01
Silver coins are exchanged for Gold coins at a 100:1 ratio, with the gold coins being used to buy the i510 Lawâs Order gear.
the phantom boss in DR is considered an undead enemy, right? so i can use the lost banish on it
Yes
yes works on it but dosent stack so you cant have more as 1 banish active
Need some help with materia meld
I for some reason cant meld this iron spear
The materia needs to be grade 1.
but my carpenter level is already more than the meld level requirement
materia has a mininum ilvl
Nope, grade 2 needs a minimum of ilvl 30 equipment to fit into
if the ilvl of the gear is too low you can't meld the materia in
Thanks yall
is there any repercussion if i reach 0 mettle once im rank 15 ?
seems kinda counter intuitive to have people lose mettle upon death but having DR savage require a certain amount
oh well , lets hope i wont burn through 700k mettle on my first DR savage
Its only on the unlock
Oh, no. It actually is 700k for Savage.
Wait, is it only for the unlock?
I thought it was that you needed that much consistently.
You can go in at 0
Mettle is fucking useless after unlocking savage
Outside the weekly
Which needs 72k
oh thats cool then , so mettle really useless after rank 15
Oh, well there you go then.
You need about as much mettle as you can get from doing a CLL run at R15.
Hi
I'm really new
like
i bought the game yesterday
wanted to make a character on Twintania to play with a good friend of mine
Server doesn't let new people in atm
Is that permanent or will it eventually be open again?
!status Twintaina
Temporary
Wait until late at nighr
Ok
thank you
Yeah, it's like 1pm for EU right now? So give it 12 hours or so.
Then another question
Is it possible to transfer your character to other worlds?
Yes. You can either do a paid transfer (permanent), or "world visit" to other servers on your datacenter (temporary - restricts certain functions)
Is there any macro for dol gathering
Time to wait then
Generally speaking if you have a friend playing that you want to play with, join their FC (guild), etc. it's best to simply start on the same server.
5.4
until 6.0 in like 7-8 months, do we know what other high-end content we're getting?
3rd YoRHa raid
Diamond weapon extreme
Maybe another MSQ trial
April 13 and end of may especially
gotcha! thanks
Best way to get crystal sand?
I've only lv 51 dol so Yellow scripts will take forever
Level doh
Every other way is super slow otherwise
Doh (+ gil) is simply the fastest way
Level 70-80 battle classes can solo undersize the ARR extreme trials for their materials for that trade in option
You simply buy out the cheap materials and manually farm the expensive ones
how forgiving e4s becomes with new gear? im tryna unlock TEA but i wouldn't want to spend hours in e4s
You basically donât do the last phase at all (Small Titan + Big Titan)
You'll skip the last phase at least
Depending on damage and deaths you should kill around or before the 2nd upheaval thing (where he lifts up two corners of the arena)
you still gotta perform correctly the mechanics tho i believe?
Yes.
Lots of Titanâs mechanics will one-shot if done wrong or you get hit by multiple things
Hello new player on free trial here.
Playin an arcanist. Im not sure about job guilds which should I take ?
Whichever ones you want. You can play all jobs on one character.
Thereâs no direct advantage or disadvantage to having multiple jobs unlocked.
Not as in class but weaver blacksmith etc
I mean I understand that but what should I focus on ?
So your telling me
Idk why people say anima is the easiest relic quest
At my level it's almost impossible to complete
take everything
All 8 crafters share gear and crafting materials for the most part so if you want to save Gil and time you do all of them.
i would focus more on a fighting class like your arcanist rather than crafters/gatherers at the beginning. but it's completely up to you
So I should get my summoner to 80 asap?
Im just chilling on lvl 17
Compared to Zodiac and Eureka, itâs pretty tame. It also helps that you can stockpile materials for future weapons for whenever you have spare poetics.
Zodiac requires a lot of pure Gil (400k at the bare minimum) and Eureka has an entirely separate level system attached to it.
if you want to do crafting, gathering. it's best to do all gathering and crafting jobs together since they have things in common.
keep going with the main scenario quests, you can use your arcanist or switch to any job if you don't enjoy anymore arcanist
Ill stay with Arcanist going for a summoner maybe black knight later on, I was talking about the crafting/gathering Jobs.
i don't think there is any better crafter/gatherer if that is your question. you can find weavers guild at ul dah as crafter or botanist at new gridania as gatherer. i'd recommend any of the 2 i guess
I mean even anima requires gil
Those unidentified items
Gil or other one I forgot
It goes by pretty fast if you choose a good compact leve like Dance Magic Dance
Which lets you search out the leve area in a matter of seconds
So you can probably âdoâ a leve every 10-15 seconds or so
30-40 total, since each exchange gives 2 sands.
And from when I did the leve route, I got around 20-30 on average from 100 leves
I don't understand the purpose of Titan or Leviathan here
Honestly Titan dies super fast at 80
You probably wonât see much mechanics if any
While leviathan you definitely still deal with the spumes and adds that spawn.
And the 2 ultimates he does
I have a question. Im a new player doing the free trial. i have got to level 10 on my first class and really enjoying the game. do i keep playing until i have to purchase the game or do i dive right in and buy it now? Many thanks and sorry if im in the wrong channel
did they ever add an option to expand the wardrobe or is several extra retainers the only solution if you wanna collect alot of glam gear for several classes ?
There's no bottomless box in this game for glam stuff? rough
Where you want to buy kinda depends on you, the main points I'd say is when the gil cap of 300k gil gets on your nerves, when you hit level cap on your first job, or if you are kind of a madman and decided to and leveled up EVERY job to level cap
Oh that and if you really want to play an expansion job or something ASAP
The glamour dresser can hold 400 items
@dire bear isay no rysh, buy when u finish. When i was in ur shoe, i bought the moment i hit cap level for trial
thank you very much, ill keep going as i am for now and sink money into it when i feel the time is right
Hi, I'm currently playing the trial version, and have one or two questions regarding later content.
First, will the world always be divided into zones or will it be bigger but less zones later on? I don't mind either way, but am curious to see what changes there are after ARR is finished.
Second, where can I learn to write macros. It seems useful but I don't know where to start for a true "beginner's guide" type of thing rather than just copy-paste examples to make stuff work.
Third, how does the unlocking of dungeons (and raids) work? I'm currently 7 seven levels ahead of the last batch of dungeons and I don't know how to make new one's with higher levels appear.
Fourth, is it possible to play with a friend if we started on different servers. I know you can visit, but I don't know how far that extends.
And fifth, are certain servers more populated by certain languages than others, and if so, where can I see which one is which.
Sorry for the silly questions and thank you in advance.
thank you. i will go on as i am for now and get it when i feel im ready to commit to it
What do you get from doing potd past floor 50 compared to HoH ?
a really good way to level dps
Is it better than HoH ?
- Expansions have bigger zones
- not sure about any guides but the user macros menu has a list of all the commands and how to write them which is pretty good
- really depends, some are MSQ, all the raids and some optional dungeons and trials are
in the world - the only main thing you can't do with that friend is simply be in the same FC but that doesn't stop you from doing stuff together
- generally for EU Shiva is unofficial German, Moogle unofficial French and that's about it
51-60 is commonly spammed
No idea but PotD can be accessed early in the game.
Going back to question 3 though if you want to know if you're going to miss a dungeon or something that is optional you can look at uhh
!faq contentunlock
Has all the cool shit by level (do unlock the challenge log when you can btw)
And yeah people run 51-60 to level lower classes. Until around 41-43ish its a level per run
Alright. Thanks a lot!
Will do!
are the crystal tower quests we need to complete for 5.2 the level 50 crystal tower quests in mor dhona?
yes, iirc.
yes
ok ty
you have to do all 3 crystal tower 24-man raids
for 5.2?
yes
okay, i have most of them completed so far, i think
still need to complete world of darkness though
hopefully the healer raid queue time isn't too long
i've only done it as dps to level my blm and smn
everybody working on resistance weapons is doing 24-mans so you shouldn't have to wait too long
How do you level a second job?
!faq altlvlguide
ty
Does DR now reward mettle or only CLL?
When you switch to a new class you start at level 1, so how do you find appropriate level quests to level up? I started as gladiator but I feel like it takes a long time to kill things so I'd rather switch to a dps class but will I not be able to continue the story until I grind back up to my current level?
See above #questions-and-help message
Side quests don't give much exp and aren't recommended for leveling
And yes, you need to catch back up to whatever level your current MSQ quest is to continue.
only cll, delubrum didn't get any changes
Is there a point to doing 61-70 and keeping on going or should I just spam 51-60 ?
@pastel hinge i'd do Hunting Logs for the first 12-13 levels, then mix POTD floors 51-60 and roulettes whenever they reset
Also dungeons with the Aetheryte Earrings are pretty good if u run healer/tank for the short queue
DR weekly is the only mettle source from it
what time is daily reset ?
in 27/26min is daily reset
cheers
Is solo a real slog leveling tank classes? Kinda picked gladiator without putting much thought into it. I only play solo for story and probably won't do any endgame stuff but I'm wondering if I should switch to dps now (lvl 18) cuz boss fights are just sitting there pressing two buttons for ages, my damage sucks.
dungeons are always going to be the most efficient places to level for tanks/healers
tank roulette queue is OP
and frankly all classes are going to feel a bit slow in the early going
What do you mean you play solo?
Yeah
you're going to have to group up during the MSQ
Why play solo though?
You don't have to wait for queues.
And the Trust NPCs can (mostly) be trusted to do mechanics correctly.
Well i don't have friends who play. It's not like I'm against playing with other people just wanna do things at my own pace
The dungeon finder matchmaking system means you won't have to worry about whether you have people to play with or not.
It will find people for you.
Just queue the duty
don't need friends
might want to join an FC as well
i mean, its an MMO, playing with others is the core of it
Joining an FC is a personal social choice.
Yeah i know. Just for the sake of getting through the story painlessly though I'm wondering if I should switch to a dps class now or even just restart since i'm not far in
You can play perfectly fine without ever joining one.
DPS queues will take much longer for even the story-required instances.
Where do I get rogue?
If you don't mind being the tank, and are enjoying MRD for now, there's no reason to switch or start over.
Limsa Lominsa near the Fisherman's Guild.
ty
you can do the story with every job you want to play
For context, almost every character I've made, I've started as Conjurer (healer). It's in many ways more painless than the times that I've started as a dps because I can heal myself as I go.
And my queue times are short, so I can get in and out of most instances fairly quickly.
I'm gladiator. It's just kinda boring and takes a long time to kill stuff.
shouldn't be that slow killing mobs
Pretty much every job is like that early on. I guarantee that it won't be any different even if you switch to a dps class.
did you check your gear?
Most jobs don't get the majority of their kits until 60.
i find being a gladiator makes things quicker for me to kill
Ok maybe it's just the pace of the combat then. I'm just using whatever gear i get from quest rewards.
if you go dps or tank dosent change much probably, tank kill mobs slower but get almost instant que for dungeons, dps kill the mobs faster but need to wait 15-30min or longer to get in a dungeon
Also, side question; have you been doing your class quests every 5 levels?
Yeah i have
you speedrunning or something lmao
Things will get slightly more interesting when you get to level 30 and can go from the base class (GLD) to the full job (PLD), since you'll start getting more abilities at that point.
and before lvl 50/60 all jobs feel slow since they don't have their skills
Pre-30 is always just 1-2-3 rotations for tanks and dps, and "dot, spam" for casters.
Ok well I guess I'll just stick with gladiator then
i wonder, since you said you play solo, are you talking about mobs in the map or dungeons?
Haven't even done any dungeons yet
You've been doing
, right?
Yeah. You'll be fine then. Make sure to do the Hall of the Novice training to get your free four pieces of dungeon-quality left side gear (chest, hands, legs, and feet) and your bonus ring (+30% xp gains under level 30)
did someone say solo
Can you trade or transfer between characters items that have been reverted back into items from being glamour? I know yoy can't sell them on the market board but didn't know about trade ?
No. They're bound to you.
Even alts?
They're bound to the specific character.
Darn, got a moonlight whm I wanted on an alt aha never mind
There's no such thing as an account-level bind for items in this game. Even account-wide mounts from the shop are sent individually to each character on your account.
Estimated , how many hours do you think the storm blood post content is before shadow bringers ?
What should i dump my allegory tomestones in?? I dont need 490 gears
Depends on whether you're watching cutscenes or not, but probably about 5-6 hours?
So if I brought a account wide mount months ago and make a new alt character tomorrow will it also get it?
Yes
Cool, good to know thanks!
Likewise every character you create will receive RAF rewards.
@open coral ohh ok thanks for response
Raf?
Recruit A Friend.
The person doing the recruiting gets gold chocobo feathers and an emote. The person being recruited gets silver chocobo feathers and the same emote.
That's an estimate without cs, btw. With it's probably twice that.
Didn't realise making an alt counts as raf tbh aha
Also assuming you're not doing the
unlocks for stuff like Omega and Ivalice.
It doesn't. You get the rewards on all of your character created on the account that you used to recruit someone.
Real quick, by level 50 should I already be making it a habit to not use Cure 1 as WHM?
Not for making an alt.
Yes.
heard
You should've started making that a habit when you got C2 at level 30.
When does Cure 3 come into play?
What should i dump my allegory tomestones in?? I dont need 490 gears
Rarely. C3 is mostly only good for when your party is stacked up and you need to heal off damage. And even then you've got better tools in your kit.
You can use it to buy materials to sell on the MB.
From the same guy in eulmore?
Do i need to buy a sub through steam or can i do it on mogstation

@leaden ginkgo i did ask for auto renewal on mogstation, do i need to put âŹ12,99 in my wallet to activate or do they ask for it when sub is done?
prob
otherwise it'll give error
i do advice to not use auto renewal and do it manually every month though...
How do i change it
how do i put an another hotbar in ps4? so i can see my buff cds?
You can activate the standard hotbars in the HUD settings by clicking on the one you want to activate.
@mossy chasm just turn off autorenewal or remove the payment method if thazt's not a thing I don't remember, then it won't take money since there's nowhere to take money from
Ah, gotcha gotcha!
on leveling roulette you can get materia crystal things but usually it's a very small reward
Why did I randomly go from 28 days to 43? (Sub time)
you got your preferred server bonus
Oh?
15 free play days for getting a character to level 30

Hey does anyone know if I need to farm the ranks again for a grand company if I swap back to one I have been in previously?
You don't.
It'd be convenient for me to go back to flames, I'm in serpents atm and used to be in flames
Ranks are saved when you swap.
Sweet, I'll probably spend my serpent seals and do that then. ^^
Thanks for the speedy response!

Is there a screenshot mode where it hides the UI?
/gpose does.
You can also press Screen Lock if you don't want to have to enter gpose, or can't. But gpose is typically better for taking screen shots
explain like im 5 but what are server ticks
i was saying imma eat "oliebollen" which is a food in the industrial revolutions!
Regular interval that the server uses to calculate changes.
interesting
Basically, to reduce network strain, online games send information back to the game servers at set intervals rather than being a constant flow.
Each time they do that, it's a "tick"
I've been trying to get the new hairstyle for a while now and got nothing is it just bad luck or is there something I'm missing here xd
Getting any of the cosmetic rewards from DR is rng.
Oki ty just wondered if I was missing something c:
there's a few different ticks but the most important 'ticks' are the GCD and the DoT ticks, which are determined by your GCD and every 3 seconds respectively
(Damage Over Time skills do get increased damage per DoT tick with increased skill/spell speed)
so like being a thau if i cast thunder it'll do more damage each tick?
I did over 40 runs of delubrum and didn't saw it drop so I got it from the mb, so yeah drop rate is rly low for it
Thunder's damage per tick will be calculated with your weapon + main stat + spell speed in this case, yes
And each tick has a chance to crit based on your crit stat.
There's a lot of math that goes into calculating damage numbers
And math is fun!
generally though bigger numbers = bigger damage

I have some questions on ilevel gears. I know like some people love to have ilvl530 all over regardless the gear stats but for me I look at the gears stats and materia melds slot for customization. I don't care what ilvl 495/510 vs 530. So I think stats building is more important than just ilvl itself. Am I looking at this correctly? You can have ilvl 530 with pointless stats like Spell Speed for RDM =/= not optimize build.
how long is a castrum run these days
There's a balance between ilevel vs stats. The Balance discord does a lot of the math, and often "BiS" sets for classes end up being a combination of gear from different sets. ilevel is still important, so a 530 piece with mediocre stats is still generally going to be better than a 495 piece with amazing stats, though.
Generally what you're going for, though, will be hitting specific stat goals for your playstyle.
is there a guide for the new relic steps?
35 item levels worth of mainstat and weapon damage/defense isn't something you can ignore
can someone help me , is it "normal" this little sticker on my shield ? it's ugly as fuck đŚ (poetics gear lvl 50)
Yes
Maximizing substats, while nice isn't going to overtake that
Some crafted gears can have 5 materia slots made up for the diff with +60 x5 without having a spell speed take up stats
It's part of the appearance
i510 crafted gear is not going to beat i530 gear
Again, those 35 ilevels of mainstat are going to make more of a difference than 5 materia slots.
ok
Mainstat is always going to be king.
Thanks for the website, really cool!
The way substats work in this game is you need x amount of it to increase its effectiveness by y%
All of your damage and healing base power off your mainstat.
Whereas mainstats will increase your effectiveness no matter how little you increase by
Since its multipliers are applied in weapon damage calculations
And its multiplied by substats
Potency x mainstat + substat%
So having a fair amount of mainstat increase per piece is going to be more valuable than the 0.03% crit you.might gain
Bizarre question..... is thre a reason that my CRP has 4775 HP and my CUL and ALC have 3650?
They have slightly different mainstat scaling
Sort of helps fill the immersion perspective
so no functional reason, just fluff
Carpenters having more vitality because they use a lot of energy to physically shape wood
So the crafted gears are just upgrade gap but never meant to be end gears even combine. The dungeon gears always end gears?
hey I just hit level 80 as a gunbreaker. How do I get the better equipment in eulmore ?
savage raid gear is always the top
Dungeon gear is also catch up. Tome gear and savage gear are bis
Savage raid gear > Tome gear > pentamelded crafted > dungeon
Have you finished shadowbringers 5.0 msq? If not you have to do that first
I did and im in post msq content now
Tome gear is part of the bis
And dungeon gear depends on the dungeon
Only once it can be enhanced. like in 5.5
@lone violet there should be tomestone vendors, a row of 4 of them that you can interact with
Can be enhanced now
You have to do level 80 instances for tomestones (allegory and revelation), which can be exchanged for gear. Or do the Eden raids or YorHa raids.
OH. so it can. lol
They're not gating bis from finishing before 5.5
You just need to do savage to enhance it
10+ years ago WoW days, craft is competing with raid gears. a lot of people mix gears for the best builds setup. Looks like ffxiv is pretty linear. Always go for the highest ilvl.
Yes. XIV gearing is quite linear.
Not always always. There are edge cases where you would choose a lower ilvl piece
Wat the best way to disengage a striking dummy.. I untargeted..ran away and still says im in combat..
right click the dummy
There's some mix-and-matching with the highest tiers, but generally you're going for ilevel over everything else.
Right click reset enmity
you can turn off combat
How is today new relic vs savage weapon? I have 510 now atm both WHM and RDM. still working on it as I go.
I believe the EmEX weapon is BiS for most classes right now?
Still less good than 535 weapon
savage weapon is still BiS
But better than emerald ex for some jobs
relic won't really be comparable until the 5.5 stage
Oh, right, the Savage weapon is higher ilevel.
1167 points of substats is pretty fat
ok so high end always be first available on update just very hard to get. Then sub update for farming/grind gears are alternative way for me like "casual" to get.
For casual you can just go with tomestone gear, mostly.
You don't really need Savage BiS.
yeah, just getting capped weekly
Pretty much.
I guess people getting 530 is just fame and achievement?
because what else 530 for? next update?
haha
so what can I do with my 2k tomestone of poetics ?
Fully upgraded tomestone gear will carry you about halfway to max level in the next expansion.
!faq poetics
as a new level 80 gunbreaker
So getting the revelation gear now and upgrading it before the end of the tier will be pretty good.
Ah ok maybe the next savage too
Yeah, it always has a region tag. @frozen girder
It's always that luxury buyer up there xD
I wonder if Eureka/Bozjan are test structure to help revive some world maps? To be honest is grinding but a lot of engagement in MMO aspect where like everyone come and fight like GW2.
GW2 has world event just like Bozjan but outside not instanced.
Nope. They're just side content.
so how do I get better gear to increase my item level as a new 80 gunbreaker
same was as all other jobs
Get what you can and work your way up the ilevels until you can start working on BiS
In HW, you start to get rewarded gear of ilevel which one?
I mean, does it worth to spend poetics, if the msq or job quests of HW are gonna reward you gear of ilevel 130 and more?
Poetics gear at 50/60/70 is worth getting. because you can get what WAS the best in slot gear at the end of that expansion
Around level 54 in the MSQ you start getting i133 gear. So Ironworks lasts all of post-ARR and about halfway through 3.0.
The level 60 job quest does offer higher ilvl gear, but by then you might also have access to Idlyshire and Shire gear which is even better.
how much are Exarchic gear on the trading post?
is a million gilenough to gear up with it?
depends on your server/datacenter's marketboard
You'll have to check your DC's market boards. It's not going to be the same on all servers.
hey can someone from Phoenix add my friend and I to a party? we're trying the game in free trial and want to play together
would be appreciated
sure
@wintry chasm ign: Emperor Moshu, thanks I appreciate it
just give me a min to log in
thanks tyt
anyone here who wants to farm some primal mounts?
so I should do the role quest as new tank to get the better gear
can't I just keep doing the post msq story to get better gear ?
post msq doesn't give gear when its current
You can, but doing the role quests should be fairly quick since you're already 80 and the gear is free once it's done.
got it
you are going to need to gear from grenoldt, unless you skip gearing by getting exarchic from marketboard or craft it yourself
can anyone help with Unable to complete version check [30410][30607][20457][404]
So you need 18 clears of Heavensward/Stormblood alliance raids each for the finalish steps for the Resistance relics, right?

How do I go on about opening a ward if I make my own fc
Like a housing ward? Only SE can create new wards.
what's the range on the aether compass? is it map wide?
if you want a house for your fc you need to buy a empty plot
aether compass is map wide, yes
yes tells you if no more are on it
oh sweet so if it says it doesn't detect any, then they're all from quests eh?
Also how much does jt cost to open a fc
but some currents are from msq or sidequests
if its giving you no directions, then you've found all of the open world aether currents
you can see how many open/quest currents you still need in the travel > aether currents menu
but generally its 10 open world currents, 5 quest
15000 gil and get 3 signatures from other players
And if I ever want to have house for my fc
How do I get one and cost? I wouldnt want to be houseless fc
!faq Housing
I've seen ppl spam in Lomsa saying they'll tip 10k gil for someone to join the FC and sign, then leave
of course. I was one of those 3 lol
Hey guys, need some help getting back into it. I started on the PS4 and have a character on Zodiark. Thing is, I only got the first 1 or 2 expansions. Now I'm gonna try and snipe the others when they get discounted (I know I just missed a discount >_>) but wondering something: I read this game is cross platform with PC as well. Could I buy the PC version and play with my PS4 character and vice versa? What if I buy all the expansions on PC, how does that correlate to me just having the first 2 on PS4? Gonna try and buy all expansions on both platforms (PC and PS4) so I can switch around but unsure if it's even possible. Thanks for any help.
Edit: Only have Heavensward on PS4, missing the last 2.
you can play on both platforms so long as you have the appropriate licenses for both
so if you want to play shadowbringers content on ps4, you need shadowbringers on ps4. same for pc
if ps4 only has HW, and PC has shadowbringers, and you log out in a shadowbringers zone on pc
and try to log in on ps4, you won't be able to
because you dont have the appropriate license, and therefore files on that platform
Ah so the DLC are basically areas, not story "progression" so to speak? So as long as I log out in an area that is the most basic, I can login anywhere, yes?
Ok now for the tricky part: How will this affect trophies on the PS system if I "advance" past a certain point. Anyone who has played both can chime in if they unlock on logging on to the PS4/PS5?
what you guys prefer sub or game time card? is one cheaper than other?
entry sub would be cheaper than a game time card
Ăve got a question about AST
Do Cards only give me a stack for the big 120 Sec CD of which I dont know the english name if I use them in fight?
the monthly sub is cheaper if you choose the entry-level option, but I can see game time cards being attractive if your ability to support a monthly fee fluctuates
yes, you only get seals for divination if you're in combat
Thanks!
and there is no way of playing for free on game like wow tokens?
only on trial
Okay so burned all 100 leves and got 42 crystal sands

What Can I do to make 1m Gil at lvl 70?
do roulettes
and treasure maps
you can easily get 1m gil / week
I see, Treasure maps ? Where to get that ?
buy off the mb or gather them
Can buy them from marketboard or gather them yourself
Okey I will take a look, ty
did they change map rates? portal maps are super rare for me now
Nope
Rng is rng
Rng being rng
what are the best areas for memories of dying fate farm ? i went to loch and azim but they seem kinda dead
mmk
Sacrifice more race of your choice to the rng gods
Those maps are so expensive, possible to make the Gil back if I buy a lvl 70 one ?
see if it's cheaper on other worlds
If you're lucky and the market has demand for the mats
is the trading post server based or dc based?
server
Hey guys! I just started doing Squadrons, and I'm a little bit intimidated trying to figure out what recruits to accept/refuse. I currently have 2 Conjurers, an Archer, a Marauder, a Rogue, a Lancer, and 2 Pugilists. My questions are, is this fine for someone who is just getting into it? And, if I just keep leveling these guys, will I be fine? Or do I need to minmax the recruits?
doesn't really matter their class since you can change that lettter
mainly once you've got a full roster, you can recruit people you like
Cool, I won't stress it too much for now. When you say that I can recruit people I "like", is that just a preference thing? Or will I have to dump people for better stats later?
what stats they have is based entirely on the class they are
which, as i said, you can change later with manuals you can buy with gc seals
if you do a 8 players map, does everyone get loot or you have to need/greed stuff?
the contemporary warfare: defense/offense/magicks
@delicate field you roll
I see! Thanks a lot!
some items are dropped directly into your inventory like materia
How do you get 3 people to build a FC... I shout in every zone and nobody offers to help, and I don't wwnt to be annoying and randonly whisper players
Is attaching gil reward gonna help?
yes, someone was doing what you're doing and tipping 10k each
shout in limsa
he got his fc in 5 minutes
Cause its suspicious no one helping out of all zones I visited
Where can I get vendor jewelry for level 40 range?
and mostly hang out in limsa
limsa only has up to level 30
or already in an fc
Yeah, its just pm me, acceot invite, once fc is up u can leave the
That doesnt seem so hard
3 finger clicks
And thats it haha
What the hell does "W22 P36 MIST" mean ?
ward 22 plot 36 in the mist
Oof, I mean even that shouldn't be an issue if they are already fc-less
It wouldnt take me more than 10 minutes
đ
If ppl actually wanted to help
pretty much 40-49 accessories is crafted, or from dungeons @halcyon radish
22 I mean
Is it okay to ask for 3 ppl in novice chat?
yes
How in the world do ppl make like hundreds of millions of gil tho
crafting
that's fine, ty
@twilit arch A followup: My squadron's "Current Attributes" (when choosing a squadron mission) says that they have 249 Mental, but when I add up that particular squadron's Mental stats they only have 169. What else is in this calculation?

It says I do one these two, but it doesn't say what they are?
Also consider your base starting stats
You have some starting statd even if you assign no one
OH, that's what the 60/80/60 is? I didn't realize.
I'll give this a look, thanks!
Are all potential squadron members the same? I also got a hyur conjurer by Cecily and a lala archer by Nanasomi.
I got level 60 before hitting HW, is there a way to buy level 60 shire gear lmao
cecily nanasomi and the roe are the 3 starting squadrons everyone gets
Nope. But augmented ironworks will serve you until midway through HW. Everything you couldn't beat with that is locked behind MSQ.
okie just checking because yea would be funny if you could do HW with shire equiped
You could technically buy lv60 crafted gear on MB but that's a huge waste of money
I'm guessing that its expensive
Shouldn't be too expensive
if you're working on post ARR/starting HW then its pretty much unneeded
Yeah, and as said, your current gear is perfectly good for anything you can access
I bought a bunch of gear off the MB, level 60 ish. I'd only buy them if they were about 15k a piece
and when you finish 2.55, you'll get access to your 50-60 class quests. If you got the requisite zones, you can just blitz through them and get higher level gear
some classes barely even take you out to HW zones
Question, if I use shout in Horizon, is message going to be visible in all areas of uldah, like black station, uldah etc
Or its just visible at Horizon
Ah alright
Also using shout in the cities will only appear in the zone you're in, not both.
/say is a small area, /yell is a larger area, /shout is the entire zone you're in
Oh, ok so if I shout in eastern la noscea it wont be visible in for example main, limsa lominsa
is full set augmented bozjan+ 1 haste better than 530 gear inside bozjan and delubrum?
If your job likes speed/needs a lower gcd Yes
Like Tanks and black mage primarily
And speedstro
BLM can get below 2s Fire 4s it's insane
If I am in bozja party, if I leave and come back will i be in the same instance
what if we made the party b4 we went in
Only if everyone else leaves
I dont think you can reque if people are still inside
As they're bound by duty
oh
You would be in a party when you go outside, so you'd have to leave that one and then it depends on if the instance is full/closed
Hello, im a new playter in trial with a free acc. I wanted to ask if i can select the rogue job before lvl 20
Yes, by going to the Rogue's guild in Limsa Lominsa
After beating the level 10 class quest on your starter class
Otherwise you need to progress the story to lv15 to travel ther
im lvl 15 started in gardinia i belive is called
and did all my class quests untill now
plus story
Story level 15
Then when the story takes you to the other cities you can unlock it
is there a bozjan guide? I don't know what to choose from
Continue to story to Gridina envoy
For lost actions?
yeah
mhmm i see ty all
lost dervish if you are generous and rank 15
Still DPS stuff
essence of the aetherweaver afaik
You dont really need extra healing or defensive stuff
Unless its savage
But at that point your actions are assigned to you

I was reading online that the "Master Blacksmith III" Would give me recipes for some of the primal weapons like the "Inferno Katana" and the like, but I bought and used one, and I can't seem to find it.

in fact, Master III doesn't have any primal crafted weapons in it for blacksmith
Hi, so I'm a new player and I got the free trial and enjoyed it enough to purchase it but got myself into a sort of predicament and was wondering if I would be allowed to try and conduct a game code trade in the server? I looked at your rules but the most I saw about it was for giveaways only.
TL;DR I bought a code on sale from the SE store but it's for windows only and I have the steam ver. Already opened the code so I can't return it đŚ went through this for 2 weeks so trying to just find a swap for the code for a steam ver. Based on what I've read too, the most I can do about it is offer to try and find a trade for it.
Talan in Mor Dhona exchanges for Master 1/2 and Demimateria
you need 1xFieldcraft Demimateria 1 and 1x Battlecrafter demimateria 1 for demimateria book
Snap, so I bought the wrong book?
what do people do with capped poetics nowadays ?
!faq poetics
ye if you wanted the inferno katana
This was the page I referenced, and it said master 3
Is there a better wiki I should be referencing?
am I posting my question in the wrong channel?
sorry just wanted to make sure
Yes, but tbf to consolewiki it actually doesn't list the book needed to buy
can anyone help me with these?
bought a Starter Pack on Steam right now, and loggen into my old SquareEnix Account.
after entering my GameKey i got this
that recipe is a 3s blacksmith recipe but that doesn't mean its from the master blacksmith 3 book
but garlandtools or gamerescape are better choices for looking this kind of info up, as they are generally more up to date
Excellent, I'll have a look at them. Thanks a bunch
Any Healers on Chaos fancy helping our group get our first E12S clear? we're at enrage.
#603040858782040095 or PF
Posted already and PF is up. Healers don't exist.
You might have more luck later in the evening, or during the weekend.
I've barely cleared E9S yesterday, so I can't help
also likely not to get much response in this channel
since the bulk of people in here are going to be new players/people not at e12s
I'm asking everywhere, because I'm honestly losing the will to persist with this. Recruitment channels, Reddit, Private Discords, PFs, Friends through friends - There just isn't 1 healer around (Was the same on Wednesday evening too)
Thats the joy of trying to clear later in the week
how can you swap lost actions?
Monk Mains, how do you guys achieve that 11 GCD RoF?
healer is the toughest job, I can see why there's a shortage
Later in the week, Wednesday?
Opener your holster and click it
how do you do it? đŽ
Meet skill speed tier, activate at the end of GCD window, don't clip
i'm already at 1.96
maybe the don't clip part

Most likely, clipping once can fuck it up
gcd window is the gcd animation or is that different?
The gcd timer
The cooldown, if you activate buffs at the start you lose possible GCDs during the buff
You want to weave it as late as possible as you wait for the gcd timer
Same concept as weaving in Inner release and stuff
aight thanks
