[leaden ginkgo]

and only one is gather/craft?

[wet cradle]

what is the easiest recipe for yellow crafter scrips?

[wintry chasm]

uhhh

lemme count that Knight

5 ARR beast tribes off the top of my head

4 combat, 1 crafting

[leaden ginkgo]

wow I still got such a long way to go

[wintry chasm]

(you can see gathering has been historically fucked over)

[leaden ginkgo]

guess I will max out ARR first

i don't do crafting or gathering

[wintry chasm]

yeah each ARR tribe takes less time than expansion ones, it just takes longer collectively since there are 5 of them

[leaden ginkgo]

Is gathering or crafting fun?

[wintry chasm]

Crafting yes it's very fun

gathering...I just put Netflix on while I do it/treat it as means to an end to do fun crafting

[leaden ginkgo]

What to spend GC seals on?

[quiet nova]

Hello guys, if there is an older and experienced player can you help me with a lvling tip? I switched to rogue job, now i have to lvl up back to 20 to go on with main quest, my job quest is at 10 ( im 6) and all quests that i took in order to complete them i need lvl 10

Is there someone who know which quests to take from the main city in order to lvl up ?

[wintry chasm]

first tip

Don't do for leveling, they give very shit xp

second tip: do your hunting log

hunting log is great for those early levels

and then when you can obviously do leveling roulette and whatnot

you should also do the https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Rising_to_the_Challenge assuming you haven't done it already since you basically get free xp from it and it's a decent amount

[quiet nova]

Thank you for tips, im looking into hunting logs rn 🙂

[forest lark]

Is there any way to see how many times I ran DR, I did run it 60+ times earlier for the hair farm, then I ran it 30 more times for 2 relic weapons

I'm pretty sure I'm close, if not to 100 runs

Also how do people sit at the edge of idk box or crate as if theyre sitting on the bench

I've seen someone doing that at limsa

Theyre doing usual sit instead of groundsit

[lime spruce]

Hai I have a quick question... Is it ok to be a part of a less serious static and a more serious static on one char?

[shut panther]

I mean you'd have to ask the members of said statics that

theoretically outside of patch drops there's probably not a big deal, but a serious static is going to want to push when a patch drops which might conflict

so what do people think is faster? 50-100 potd grinding or dr grinding?

for relics*

[lime spruce]

Isn't dr 5 memories per run

[shut panther]

no, you're thinking the CLL step

[lime spruce]

O

I dunno den

[shut panther]

DR is 100% @ 1, PotD is ?%/10 levels

[hoary kayak]

DR is the way to go

[twilit patrol]

guys when i q up for daily roulette the adventurer in need was tank and i q up as one, 4 minutes later while being in q it became a healer, will i retain the bonus for q up as tank?

[desert prawn]

are there still like, 100 post-msq patch quests for arr

[wintry chasm]

80

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a way to dye my hair?

[desert prawn]

my friends are just getting into tha game and I dread them arriving there

dear god

[leaden ginkgo]

Pink just doesn't fit a summoner lol

[wintry chasm]

TO BE FAIR

[desert prawn]

thats going to be hell 4 them

[wintry chasm]

TO BE FAIR CHADIMIR

It is way better story

so if they are at least okay with 2.0

They'll enjoy 2.X

and if they don't like 2.0 they might still enjoy 2.X

[hoary kayak]

i never minded the quests 🤷‍♂️

[wintry chasm]

2.X does bring a lot of plot

[desert prawn]

alright bro I'll fuckin hope they can sit through it bro 😩

[wintry chasm]

and it is pretty packed minus the first patch

[desert prawn]

i just wont tell them haha

[wintry chasm]

first patch is boring, 2.2+ is good

I just hope you haven't been hyping up the expansions to your friends since that might make them super impatient

[desert prawn]

nah

[glass oxide]

You will still get the bonus

[desert prawn]

I just said Heavensward was my favorite

maybe that is hyping up actually 👀

[wintry chasm]

Well I'd just advice them not to really uh, think about "oh my god I have to get to the expansions since I hear that's the really good part of the game"

because that'll just encourage some weird burn out

You could also tell them that 2.X is literally the most important part of the story in the game since it sets up literally every expansion in some way lol

[wind needle]

Any consolation I'm a new player and loving everything.

[manic flare]

you will love the game 100x more once you finish the base game

finish the main story quest in a realm reborn as quick as possible

[hoary kayak]

no, enjoy everything

[wintry chasm]

Boy over there proving my point but I don't really want to lead to a discussion in this channel

[desert prawn]

to be fair

i got shadowbringers hyped tf up for me and I enjoyed tf out of tha story up to ShB

[twilit arch]

trying to rush thru ARR to get to HW often leads to burn out for a lot of people

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

[twilit arch]

if you just let the game be the game, its generally a lot more enjoyable

[wintry chasm]

especially when they end up literally just skipping it for getting to HW faster and literally don't engage with the content/story

so they just spend hours of nothing

[manic flare]

while this is definitely true. it's extremely hard to care for the story or its characters in ARR

[twilit arch]

that's your opinion

and honestly, isn't helpful

[desert prawn]

big fan of ||minfillia|| myself

[twilit arch]

people should make their own opinion on the story, and there have been plenty of people who've mentioned that constantly hearing how ARR was bad and to rush it to get to HW lead to themselves burning out

when if they had just let themselves enjoy ARR for what it is, it wouldn't have been so bad

[thin flicker]

i’m a sprout currently on ARR myself, at the point where i’m going to the speeches for the grand companies and i’m getting genuinely enjoying the game so far. still quite a bit of filler after apparently having it streamlined and some B plots i could do without but there are some really dope moments. i think it’s best everyone just go thru it at their own speed and get to know the characters and whatnot for the expansions. finding more motivation to play thru it as i actually read thru the dialogue/story

[half kraken]

Where do I trade bozjan coins?

[strange coral]

Resistance Supplier in the southern front

Unless you mean the gold and silver ones. Those go to the supplier in Gangos

[half kraken]

I see, thanks

I talk to resistance suppliers and they just give me dialogue

Oh wait now it works

[strange coral]

You needed to finish one of the quests you had in progress I think (was just looking it up and barely found someone else with the same problem on reddit)

[crude nacelle]

is castrum not worth doing in terms of exp? everytime I do it on daily, more than half the squad leaves

[faint flare]

Praetorium is more xp

Out of the two

[crude nacelle]

yeah I know that, but is it worth quitting out of the duty and eating the time penalty over just doing castrum?

is castrum that bad?

[faint flare]

Well for the one guy who abandons probably not but everyone else yeah

[twilit arch]

no, castrum isn't bad for exp

[crude nacelle]

it's not one guy

[twilit arch]

its still very good exp for the time

[crude nacelle]

it's always 4+ people instant quitting

[twilit arch]

people would rather be lazy

and prae is a lot less work than castrum

[crude nacelle]

I see

[twilit arch]

plus they see the bigger number, and it feels better

even if realistically castrum is compareable when you're looking at xp/time

[gritty oracle]

Castrum is faster though and you still get the 500+ poetics and half a level.

I also feel like quitting a roulette just because you didn't get the instance you like is childish

[twilit arch]

personally, don't think its worth eating the penalty+queue time

[wintry chasm]

Yeah people who leave Castrum runs are asshats but it is what it is

[twilit arch]

esp if you're leveling dps, cos you're more than likely to be done with castrum and close/leveled by the time your penalty+queue+run is over

[quasi spire]

Can someone link the SAM flowchart?

Also, how would I go about augmenting old ironworks gear now?

[slate arrow]

you don't

Ironworks is augmented by default

[twilit arch]

you talk to drake to augment it

you need 100 poetics per piece

[quasi spire]

Yeah I have gear from before the upgrade

Drake is in mor dhona?

[twilit arch]

no

north shroud, hyrstmill

[quasi spire]

Cheers

Also, how do I access that SAM flowchart?

[twilit arch]

https://i.imgur.com/N52Dliz.png?1613715612

[quasi spire]

Thanks

Also, random question - why does Recommended Gear want me to equip fending accessories instead of slaying on SAM?

[slate arrow]

higher main stat

In this case, strength

If they have the same main stat it probably looks alphabetically? Idk

[quasi spire]

Both have 23 strength so prob alphabetically

irritating

[eager widget]

it’s the Vitality that causes that at times

[twilit arch]

whats the secondary tats

[oak ice]

It doesn't matter that much

[quasi spire]

Both have 27 vitality

[twilit arch]

but that said tho yeah at ironworks, its really not that big of a deal

[oak ice]

Before the rings were unflagged from being unique you'd equip both i130 fending and slaying

[quasi spire]

slaying has 15 crit, 22 dhit. fending has 15 dhit, 22 tenacity

[twilit arch]

hm weird

[faint flare]

Tenacity doesn't do anything for non tanks

[twilit arch]

either way, just throw on the slaying

no biggie

[quasi spire]

Yeah I just found it strange

[quasi spire]

this happened for earrings

[pastel hinge]

it says glamour plates can only be used in cities? does that mean as soon as i leave the city my clothes will go back to being ugly?

[twilit arch]

no

you just can't apply the plate while outside of one

[oak ice]

No, but you can't swap with plates outside

[wintry wyvern]

Where do i start doing anima relic for PLD

[twilit arch]

if you've unlocked the anima series, then azys lla

[wintry wyvern]

I have already completed drk anima but that was ages ago sp idk where to start

[faint flare]

If you haven't done any anima then rowena at Idyllshire

[twilit arch]

azys lla for you then

[faint flare]

Then go azya la

Near the aetheryte

[oak ice]

Just southwest of the teleport crystal

[wintry wyvern]

Ty

[pastel hinge]

how do glam plates work when switching gear sets?

[wintry wyvern]

Gear sets?

[twilit arch]

you can link a plate to a gear set, yes

[slate arrow]

it just automatically apply the glam plate when you apply the gearset

[twilit arch]

so it'll apply when you switch

but the same rules apply to that

in that you need to be in a city for it to do so

[leaden ginkgo]

You can't put old relic weapons into armory?

[twilit arch]

no, relics can't go into the dresser

only replicas

[slate arrow]

very few can

but all of them with 'unique' stats cannot

[twilit arch]

like the first 2 steps of anima

can go into it

[agile laurel]

shadowbringers' can iirc

unless i'm misremembering

[slate arrow]

not the laws order ones

[slate arrow]

since those have custom stat allotication

[twilit arch]

and i think ye, the first few steps of shb

but everything else no

[agile laurel]

recollection can, yeah

just checked

[leaden ginkgo]

Which expanions relic weapons do you guys think look the best?

[agile laurel]

subjective

anima is often nice, if a bit flashy

[slate arrow]

personally, I'm a sucker for the ShB Gunbreaker and Dark Knight current weapons

[agile laurel]

a lot of the anima weps fall under 'absolutely ridiculous' category like the brd one

but some of the anima weps i'll say are the best glams hands down for the job, like ast's

[pastel hinge]

so if i switch to miner while im in the field the glamour will go away, but then if i switch back to my main class it won't reapply?

[agile laurel]

the glamours will be left as they were when you exited the city

you 'applied' them to the job you were in in the city

and when you leave, it's just unable to change them

so they will remain set to whatever you set them to inside

[pastel hinge]

ok i see. so they're tied to my job gear. cool ty

[leaden ginkgo]

what relic stage is shadowbringers on?

and is the grind shorter now compared to arr and hw?

[faint flare]

The second "stage"/patch for it

There's one more patch for it in 5.55

In total, there's 5 steps, 6 the first time around

[leaden ginkgo]

when is patch 5.55 dropping?

[faint flare]

And first Shadowbringers relic you kinda skip the first step as you get it free

May

[storm sapphire]

what's the difference between savage/extreme/unreal/ultimate?

[twilit patrol]

is it possible to upgrade standard version of sb to deluxe from steam? I want the grani horse 😦

[green grail]

difficulty, basically

[storm sapphire]

what's the order of difficulty?

[green grail]

unreal is old extremes upscaled to current level cap, extreme would be the easiest, then savage, then ultimate

extreme only really applies to trials and savage to 8man raids

[storm sapphire]

same exact battles just more damage?

[twilit arch]

there's a digital upgrade option on mogstation, under additional services @twilit patrol

[twilit patrol]

ty

[faint flare]

And more mechanics

[green grail]

unreal to extreme yeah

[storm sapphire]

ah

[green grail]

but extreme has more mechanics than normal/hard mode

same with savage as a harder version of 8man raids

and ultimate is the hardest content created only for challenge for the most hardcore gamers

[faint flare]

Unreal is identical to ARR extremes just scalrd to 80

Extreme and savage have more mechanics, less telegraphs, stuff happens faster and sometimes new phases entirely over their counterparts

Ultimate basically mashes a bunch of bosses together and throws 8 mechanics all at once in rapid succession with little breaks

[storm sapphire]

ah thanks!

[quasi spire]

Are the prismatic hearts and stuffed kupka kupp the only thing available for purchase for valentione's?

referring to this bit from the event announcement

"Certain items available during previous iterations of these events can be obtained via the Seasonal Shop."

[twilit arch]

the prismatic hearts are the previous items

pretty much that message is almost always for the fireworks things

[agile laurel]

second umbral orbs - how do you avoid two orbs not going into one 'group'?

just lining up seems inadequate

[little swift]

I assume you're talking about the chariot orbs bit

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/731729520423469097/803098327846486024/IMG_20210124_220553.jpg

Everyone has to be pretty on the nose with where they're standing

And hope shitty netcode doesn't fuck them over

[faint flare]

Sprint over for safety and make sure everyone is on the same "line" as well

Like no one further forward than others etc

[agile laurel]

So it isn't related to being any closer or further?

[faint flare]

Just for more safety

They go to the closest person

[agile laurel]

So what, hug the dog line?

[faint flare]

Line up directly infront of your orb and make sure no one is further than others

[little swift]

Hug slightly behind the line because you can still be clipped by the wave that comes out

Vinyls point about lining up good is something everyone needs to watch out for

Make sure everyone identifies which side to go to correctly

And fast enough

[twilit patrol]

weird question but is there a good spot where lots of crafters gather in 1 place? 😄

[remote lintel]

the firmament

[little swift]

Typically what has worked for me is you stand on the tether that attaches to the shadow and just go left or right once the dogs stop hopping

[twilit patrol]

ah ishgard 😦

[forest sage]

while being a bit closer to the line can fuck things up, generally it's more lining up issues and people being too right or left that causes issues, as long as you're not standing at the edge of the platform

this mechanic fucking sucks though

[little swift]

^that tbh. Not in terms of difficulty but in how the game can screw you over by snapping it stupid

[storm patrol]

So ehm, I'm a new player

What's the best way to even buy the game?

TO get all the content

[forest sage]

complete edition

[storm patrol]

it seems kind of confusing

[storm patrol]

Is that the per month or??

[forest sage]

there's basically 2 parts, starter edition, which is the trial content but without restrictions and 1 month free(1-60) and shadowbringers which includes stormblood too(60-80) and complete edition is both

that's the game

there's a sub on top

buying the starter(or complete since it includes starter) gives a "free" month, after which you have to pay a sub each month, which if you only play one char is like 11euros(13$ iirc?)

you can also play the trial for free for a while, there's social restrictions(can't whisper ppl, can't make parties but you can join parties, can't use the market board which is where you buy and sell items) but it contains a lot of content and is free to play until you buy the game

[crude nacelle]

is there a way to end battle with a striking dummy? jeez they made the range on this thing insane

[storm patrol]

So it's 40eur for the Complete Edition, after that 12eur a month? @forest sage

[crude nacelle]

can't summon mount or teleport

[forest sage]

right click the dummy and select reset threat

or just run away

[crude nacelle]

ty

[forest sage]

@storm patrol if the complete edition isn't on sale yeah 40euros baseline, and then 11euros per month for entry sub, 13euros for standard sub

entry sub only lets you play one character per server and up to 8 characters total(on other servers), while standard is 8/24?

[forest sage]

but since you can be every class on one character, one slot is generally enough for most people, so you can save a bit of money like that

they also have sometimes like 4 days free for people who haven't been subbed for at least 30days, so every now and then you can play for free for a few days to play new content since the last time you played and such, but it's for limited periods of time

[leaden ginkgo]

just hit level 30 on gladiator, where do I find the paladin quest?

[forest sage]

do the 30GLA quest then it'll be right next to the NPC

[faint flare]

If you're not seeing it already you need more MSQ progress

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

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.

[leaden ginkgo]

oh got it, i still have the lvl 30 glad quest left

[storm patrol]

Does complete include the DLC ?

[faint flare]

Yes

Complete has everything

[forest sage]

yes as I explained, complete is both starter+shadowbringers

[storm patrol]

And if a new expansion releases itr is included or would be seperate?

[faint flare]

It will be included with new complete editions

[wispy falcon]

Does anyone have any guesses as to how this "oven" is hacked together? It appears to be interactable, fwiw

[faint flare]

If you buy it now, you would have to individually buy the new expansion on its own

[versed star]

I been trying to do striking tree extreme with randoms and it seems like bashing my head against a wall, so anyone know if later on I will find a way to do it more easily or should just give up on it?

[faint flare]

Party finder and unsync it

Only insane people que for extremes and savages

[versed star]

How do I unsync?

[faint flare]

Duty finder settings (cog at the top) > Undersized party

You enter as you are

Lv80s can roll over it

[remote lintel]

EXs are endgame content so ofc they're hard

when synced

[icy finch]

how do you use LB3

[forest sage]

if you do want to do it synced, a PF is still the best choice to try to find like-minded people, but realistically most people don't want to do super old fights they can solo and have to learn the mechanics for virtually no reward

[remote lintel]

put lb on your hotbar

[faint flare]

Action and traits > general > limit break

[versed star]

Well when ppl know the mechanics it aint too bad

[faint flare]

Its pugs

People dont

[versed star]

Just that with striking tree dps keep dying

Even when they know the mechanics

[open ember]

It's still not recommended to use duty finder for older EXs

[lament basalt]

what do i do with all my materia marbles ive collected?

[versed star]

As we explain them

[remote lintel]

don't need to know mechs if you're lvl 80

[faint flare]

Dont expect anything from randoms on DF

[remote lintel]

@lament basalt if you don't need them sell them on mb

[forest sage]

Ramuh EX especially is only going to be queued by new players and by mentors

and a solid half of mentors don't actually know the fights either

[versed star]

And how do I use party finder then?

[remote lintel]

party > party finder

[versed star]

Or you just meant to just join like normal

[faint flare]

Make a listing, advertise its unsync

[remote lintel]

but rarely anyone does old EXs synced

[faint flare]

Then wait

[forest sage]

yeah if you advertise it as unsync maybe someone will kill it for you quickly

BLU can kill it in about 8seconds

[open ember]

Or wait till you're lv70 or 80 then unsync and kill it yourself

[versed star]

Well I kinda have the quest asking me to use duty finder

[remote lintel]

doesn't matter

it just means do it

[versed star]

It still counts?

[forest sage]

old quest text

[faint flare]

You always enter the instance with duty finder

[remote lintel]

yes

[versed star]

Aaah ok

[lament basalt]

you have to use duty finder to get in

[forest sage]

also EX are optional

[faint flare]

Regardless if you have a party or not

[open ember]

Can be duty finder or party finder. As long as you complete it it doesn't matter

Even if its just one player or 2

[faint flare]

Just get 1 lv80 to unsync it with you and kill it in 30s

Goes for any old extreme

[versed star]

Hmm well alright I will try

[leaden ginkgo]

Are old savage mounts guranteed?

Drop

[remote lintel]

no

[open ember]

Uh yea they are

[remote lintel]

huh

[open ember]

For o4s

I've seen that snake drop everytime

Same for Alexander

[remote lintel]

[open ember]

Its always 100% fixed drop rate

Even for current savages

Its just one chest

[remote lintel]

no wonder I see everyone riding ramuh

[leaden ginkgo]

Can I solo old savage?

[remote lintel]

depends on the savage

[open ember]

!item alte roite prism

[zinc orbit]

**Alte Roite Prism** **:** Other : ilvl 1 [Unique]

[open ember]

Uhh solo?

Hmmm probably not

[forest sage]

some alexander can be soloed

like A12S can

[open ember]

Yeah it'll take you a while

[forest sage]

but stormblood ones can't, at least not the ones with mounts

[open ember]

You might as well just do it with a full group instead

Actually

Lemme clarify on current savage drop rate for mounts

For current savage, its 100% drop ONLY IF its at least a 2 chest run

All older savages is 100% drop rate

[quasi spire]

to start off the stormblood tier for gatherers, is NQ Serpentskin set okay, or do I need to spring for HQ?

[leaden ginkgo]

does bahamut give good glamour?

[faint flare]

HQ whenever possible otherwise its just worst stats than older gear

[open ember]

Never go for NQ under any circumstance unless its for a glam

[twilit arch]

for crafting/gathering you can get away with NQ

[quasi spire]

hmm, HQ was out of stock on my server. gotta world hop

[twilit arch]

ideally want to go for HQ, but its ultimately not the end of the world unless you're lvl capped

And are buying lvl 80 gear

[forest sage]

worth noting if you get to 61 you get much better gear than serpent(which I assume is dragon?)skin

[open ember]

I got away with vendor gear when I leveled gatherers but by the time I was in SHB (71) I used HQ gear

[twilit arch]

bloodhempen is 61 set

[open ember]

Because I replaced it anyway

[quasi spire]

Yeah I'm jumping straight to gaganskin gear

[oak ice]

You can search for "Replica Dreadwyrm" on the marketboard, they look the same, just dyeable

[twilit arch]

well gaganskin for gathering

[leaden ginkgo]

where do I go to exchange the gear?

for the allagan tomestone?

[open ember]

Its crafted

[forest sage]

there's bloodhempen pieces too but yeah that tier

[leaden ginkgo]

allagan aetherone?

[forest sage]

if you're doing the 61 gear, NQ is fine for lvling yeah, it won' tbe great but it's cheaper

[open ember]

It drops from the raids but its used as a crafting item

For replica Dreadwyrm

[forest sage]

if you can't afford HQ cause it's too expensive, NQ will do the job for lvling, just don't buy NQ at cap that's a waste of money

@leaden ginkgo aetherstones are just material for crafting, you don't exchange it for gear, the raid themselves drop the original versions but if you want the dyable replicas you have to get a bunch of materials+aetherstones that drop from the raids(or buy the pieces if they're on sale, sometimes it's a lot cheaper cause you can get them from potd)

[quasi spire]

gaganaskin was actually pretty cheap at HQ, I got away with a full set of it + gyuki leather accs for 150k

[open ember]

I will assume JP servers have cheap options compared to here

[quasi spire]

nope it was 1 person dumping that tier

ironworks was 3x the price

[open ember]

Oh okay

[leaden ginkgo]

OMG LOL

turn 3 bahamut is a joke

i can't believe someone designed this lmao

[austere agate]

Is heaven or high better for leveling than potd floor 51-60?

[twilit arch]

for lvls 61-70 yes

[austere agate]

for level previous to 61?

[twilit arch]

then potd is the choice

potd is for 1-60, hoh 61-70

bozja 71-80 basically

[open ember]

Basically you can't enter HoH as lv51 so like Kael said. Lv61

For HoH

[jagged jungle]

are these a chance drop in potd?

[open ember]

Yes

[jagged jungle]

thx!

[open ember]

Only DR runs are guaranteed

And yw

[lyric warren]

what clan sells gobbiebag brown dye?

[twilit arch]

kobolds

[lyric warren]

tyty

[leaden ginkgo]

Do I have to complete ALL of them of 9 of them to get the tomestones?

or*

I click unsync and undersized party to run old trials solo right?

yes

[silver ruin]

yes, any 9 of them

[leaden ginkgo]

So, I don't have to finish all of them, right?

Nice.

[silver ruin]

you can refresh specific (any of them) ones you want for 1 second chance point each if you find something thats quick

no, just 9 of em

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay that's perfect!

tyty

[open ember]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it possile to solo turn 5?

[little swift]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

how come twintanis is one shotting me lol

[forest sage]

not synced

well maybe as BLU but not as any other class

[leaden ginkgo]

huh

[forest sage]

unsynced everyone can solo it easily at 70+

[leaden ginkgo]

https://gyazo.com/bc39ac0d4e34e63c67c4fb6a7cac76aa

[forest sage]

you have level sync on

[leaden ginkgo]

are those the right settings?

[forest sage]

you need that off

undersized, no level sync

[leaden ginkgo]

oh

[little swift]

Lvlsync sets you to lv50

Which would explain why you're dying

[strange garnet]

hi i'm new in the community in this game but i have been playing since the last two months and i have been in search for people who can play with any tips ?????

[remote lintel]

join novice network or a guild

or both

[strange garnet]

ok thanks

[gilded forge]

If I swap my grand company, do I keep my allied seals? I'm only moving because I want the minion from Immortal Flames.

[faint flare]

They stay in the old company

For when you swap back

They dont come with you

[gilded forge]

Even the hunt seals?

[faint flare]

Allied seals aren't tied to the company

[formal agate]

Is there anything that you have to do to be able to see the gathering spots in the diadem? Since the complete restoration, I don't see anything up for gathering now.

[outer gulch]

I want to start FFXIV, is it a one purchase only or is it subscription based

[forest sage]

ît's sub based

[remote lintel]

both

you pay for the game and pay sub

the free trial lets you play the base game and the first expansion with social resrtictions

[outer gulch]

How much is a sub

[remote lintel]

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

[remote lintel]

[faint flare]

No...use your node location skill to find them

[leaden ginkgo]

Guys, is Skoll's claw still important?

People are selling it for 6 mill , is that accurate?

[faint flare]

For people who want an extra magicite

[leaden ginkgo]

I put mine for 6,5 mil, compared to the others who are selling it close to 7 mil

oh...

so, not really a chance someone might buy it, huh

[faint flare]

There could be

[formal agate]

I used triangulate and truth of forests and nothing appeared still.

[faint flare]

Use arbour call

It points you to the nearest node

Truth of the X shows the special nodes when the weather changes inside the diadem

[leaden ginkgo]

@outer gulch Imo it's def worth the sub price I really only play xiv and nothing else

[outer gulch]

@remote lintel can you please explain the 180 days option, do you pay 13$ every 180 days or every month

[faint flare]

180 days

[remote lintel]

you pay for 180 days up front but it amounts to 13$ a month

[leaden ginkgo]

Vinyl, I suppose I can't buy stuff from market such as "atherite oil" and "umbrite" right?

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

^for anima weapon quest

[little swift]

no you can't

[leaden ginkgo]

oh...

[little swift]

its poetics

[leaden ginkgo]

bummer lol

at least i can kinda "buy" and save some extra time the unidentified

poetics + seals + market will help me to finish this up fast.

So, I assume, the hardest/biggest grinding is the umbrite part with the others, right?

[remote lintel]

its one of them

[leaden ginkgo]

I heard in a video I need at least 70 of that?

[remote lintel]

minimum yes

[leaden ginkgo]

minimum? oh man...

how much do i actually need?

[remote lintel]

its rng

[leaden ginkgo]

the upgrade is rng?

[remote lintel]

youll need at least 70

no

when you process the sand

[leaden ginkgo]

ohhh

[remote lintel]

theres a change to get more

[leaden ginkgo]

I have a feeling this will give me some very tough and questionable moments lol

But, the weapon looks so cool.

And I basically am almost done with the first stage.

Might as well try to finish it. Got nothing else to do.

[heavy bloom]

Hello there,ive been playing the free trial to the point where i feel that i want to purchase the game to add friends and add people to party but i am on a low budget currently. Is it worth getting the starter pack 1st or should i wait and purchase the complete ed?

[remote lintel]

its going to be the same price no matter which you do

if youre close to finishing the free trial then getting the complete will probably be better

[gilded forge]

If you're short on cash, buy the starter one now, then buy the expacs as you progress I'd say

[heavy bloom]

is it possible to buy the complete ed even if i own the starter?

[faint flare]

No

[remote lintel]

if you own the starter no

[faint flare]

You just buy Shadowbringers

[muted coyote]

I feel like you should just wait till the end of the free trail . Other people can still add you and form parties with you but YOU cant

[storm patrol]

What'd be the best class to go if I want to be a main DPS and preferably look cool

Currently lvl14

[modest igloo]

any, really

all of them have cool shit

[storm patrol]

what are the options?

[modest igloo]

look at the classes/jobs section in character profile

[remote lintel]

there's a video in the pins about the classes

[fresh wing]

can we still get noctis outfit

[remote lintel]

no

[fresh wing]

boo

[twilit arch]

the 15 cross over event is going to be rerun

so you will be able to get it, just have to wait for them to announce when they'll do it

[mint moss]

Hi guys which should I choose flame serpent or storm?

[gilded forge]

Does Gunbreaker ever get more than two shells?

[faint flare]

No

[remote lintel]

whichever one you like more

[mint moss]

It doesn’t matter?

[shrewd owl]

Nope

It’s just colour

[mint moss]

Oh ight thx

[silver dagger]

Is there a recommended ui config I could download from somewhere?

Im starting to get alot of abilities and I dont know which keybinds are the best

Im starting to manualy left click abilities lol

[gilded forge]

You can also bind other hotbars to be shift or alt + number

[faint flare]

Its whatever you're comfortable witu

[mint sparrow]

When leveling, does your companion still take a portion of your exp?

[twilit arch]

no

it was not a thing

[gilded forge]

Your chocobo gets a potion of the exp you earn, but you don't lose any by having him out

[mint sparrow]

Thanks all!

[storm patrol]

I'm so confused at the classes stuff even after watching the vid

[shell wave]

Hey guys Im really confused, I have the spell ruin is that my autoattack or just a spell?

[twilit arch]

that is a spell

[shell wave]

How do i autoattack?

[viscid fossil]

Can this be readjust later?

[twilit arch]

yes that can be

@shell wave as a caster you don't really need to worry about auto attacks

[viscid fossil]

What is required to readjust after setting one up

[twilit arch]

you need to buy aetherial sealant with poetics

[viscid fossil]

Oh ok

like how many of those?

[fervent oar]

Hey all. So, as a healer, I accidentally bought a ton of dried plums (good spell speed but direct hit as the second bene). Since direct hit isn't all that needed for me, I'm wondering if it's still worth keeping them, or should I sell them and concentrate on food that's more for me (e.g., piety)?

[open coral]

For what level?

If it's just leveling, it doesn't matter.

[fervent oar]

Oh, I'm low level right now (AAR)

[open coral]

Until 80, food stats don't matter at all.

[fervent oar]

Wow, okay. That's what I needed to know. Thanks!

[silver ruin]

and at 80, you want direct hit as a healer

[open coral]

Also, most healers don't use piety food anyways.

[silver ruin]

^

[open coral]

We use Crit/DH food

[fervent oar]

See, that goes against what everyone's been telling me! Piety is more important than direct hit!

[silver ruin]

the balance discord has 80 endgame sets/food etc but food doesnt really matter unless you're savage raiding

[twilit arch]

piety is a to comfort stat

[silver ruin]

you need enough piety so you dont run out, but generally you shouldnt run out at 80 unless you have a bunch of people dying

what kael said

[twilit arch]

but its not necessarily more important

[craggy ore]

Anyone know where I can find a discord/group for Eureka Anemos NM farms?

[silver ruin]

you normally get it from gear, not food

[fervent oar]

That's so weird. You'd think food would be needed all the time.

[silver ruin]

nope

it gives a3% exp boost for levelling

[open coral]

Piety is a "to comfort" stat for healers. It only affects MP regen, and by the time you're max level, you'll have a ton of stuff that will help you maintain your MP in other ways, so Piety becomes less important.

[silver ruin]

beyond that though you dont need it unless you're raiding (food)

[fervent oar]

I see now. Okay, thanks guys!

[storm patrol]

Can i become rogue as gladiator

[fervent oar]

Yeah, I really want to get into crafting more than high-end game stuff.

[remote lintel]

you can have all classes

[silver ruin]

you start at level 1

once you swap classes to a rogue

but yes

[storm patrol]

I have a hard time finding where and how to change into a Rogue

[silver ruin]

depending on your data center there's normally seperate discords for that

[storm patrol]

i'm lvl14

[remote lintel]

limsa lominsa

[storm patrol]

yea i went there

idk what npc tho

[silver ruin]

rogue guild

[remote lintel]

did you do your lvl 10 class quest

[open coral]

Near the Fisherman's Guild.

[storm patrol]

can i see somehow if i did it

short term memory go brrr

[remote lintel]

under your msq bar

the small !

[open coral]

Go to your guild and see if you have a would be the other option.

[storm patrol]

dis?

@remote lintel

[remote lintel]

no

[open coral]

No

[remote lintel]

your msq bar

in the top right

[open coral]

Top left

[remote lintel]

the little (!) beneath it

oh

[storm patrol]

there is one ye

[remote lintel]

click it

[silver ruin]

go do it

[open coral]

You have to complete that before you can be other jobs.

[raven burrow]

is there an idiot proof way on stocking up lost skills or bsf ?

[obsidian patio]

Buy them from the marketboard.

[raven burrow]

how do i know which ones i need

[obsidian patio]

The fragments tell you what skills they have in them.

[viscid fossil]

So there is no meld materia for ilvl 515 relic from 510

[raven burrow]

oh what

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a way to stop this game from filling my inventory with garbage?

[obsidian patio]

You get to customize the weapon, and it has more overall stats than an Emerald weapon with melds

[remote lintel]

no

sell them

[willow lake]

is there by any chance a healer thats even slightly better? onlyu asking because i cant choose which one to try well try first

[remote lintel]

no

[viscid fossil]

Donate to the Doman Enclave help rebuild the town

[remote lintel]

pick whichever ones gameplay you like better

[open coral]

Objectively, a healer that you enjoy the playstyle of will be better than others.

[leaden ginkgo]

How to sell things to npc?

[remote lintel]

white mage is straightforward and the easiest, scholar is a proactive healer that shields, ast is the busiest and weaves a bunch of cards

go to a vendor

[willow lake]

ohh i see

[remote lintel]

right click the item

[willow lake]

thank you! that makes it easier to choose

[leaden ginkgo]

I tried right clicking no option to sell

which npc's can buy?

[sweet leaf]

does an item become bound if you glamour it?

[remote lintel]

the npcs that sell things

[twilit arch]

yes @sweet leaf

[viscid fossil]

whm lack of mobility which makes it hard for fast moving boss fight

[sweet leaf]

ty

[open coral]

That is... not really true.

[remote lintel]

whm doesnt have a lack of mobility

[open coral]

WHM have plenty of mobility

[remote lintel]

it has a ton of instant casts

and PoM

[viscid fossil]

I maybe stuck in the old days 2.0

xD

[open coral]

Yeah...

[raven burrow]

any recommended lost skills as a melee dps(NIN) in bsf/DR ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Any reason to keep old glamour prisms such as goldsmith around?

[twilit arch]

no, go talk to a calamity salvager to convert them into the new prism

[sweet leaf]

you can also go to your retainer and right click the item > have retainer sell items and it gives you the same amount of gil as a vendor would

[wintry sable]

Where i can find a working macro for crafting neo-ish? So far every macro in google didn't work as intended despite having full 500ilvl gear equipped

[obsidian patio]

Having an essence equipped whenever you can afford it helps a lot, since they’re a lot of defense/hp/damage depending on the ones you pick.
For soloing stuff in BSF cure 2 is nice.
For DR and CLL having damage boosting ones like Banner of Honoured Ends is nice, but requires planning so you don’t accidentally die from using it.

[remote lintel]

teamcraft

[obsidian patio]

(Essences are like stances)

[raven burrow]

@obsidian patio how does an essence work ? i havent used one before

oh

[obsidian patio]

They stay active until you swap jobs or leave the instance

[raven burrow]

are they consumables too ?

[twilit wasp]

hi can someone explain how to access the hall of novice

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Any use for Miachi matter?

[twilit arch]

nope

[obsidian patio]

Duty menu > hall of the novice

[twilit wasp]

its greyed out for me

😦

[leaden ginkgo]

how about brass sky spoils?

[obsidian patio]

Then you’ll need to talk to a Smith at one of the adventurers guild.

You can get a few tidbits with those, though I can’t say if they still hold any value

You can exchange them in the housing districts from the sky pirate vendors, or near the AST guild

[wintry sable]

Yeah there is a reason why i'm looking for a ready macro instead of trying to create one

[leaden ginkgo]

Where to turn in promissory note

[remote lintel]

well it changes based on your crafting and control stats and gear and food and melds

[wintry sable]

Yeah but then i have to click on steps and depending on luck see how long before i get the right macro

[remote lintel]

better to ask in #doh-dol-lounge

or check pins there

[twilit arch]

you can look at other people's crafting rotations on teamcraft

[obsidian patio]

Calamity salvagers

[wintry sable]

Thanks! Found a potential one

[twilit patrol]

anyone can recommend me a good up to date crafting guide please?

[zinc orbit]

[silver ruin]

really really depends what you're trying to craft honestly, like theres one for ishgard restoration with macros, macros for endgame stuff etc but i dont think theres an actual "basics" of crafting guide

thats up to date

theres a gearing guide but that also starts at 80

[twilit patrol]

wanna level up all jobs to 80 so i can craft for myself

[silver ruin]

well how do you wanna level them, ishgard restoration? leve quests? collectables?

[twilit patrol]

stuff that are on mb are ridiculously overpriced

i dont know really

i dont wanna drop 10 mil gil for sure

just to make it asap

[silver ruin]

theres a levequest guide that tells you the most efficient way to level using leves but like, it doesnt give you macros to craft the stuff

well in that case if you dont wanna drop money you're gonna need to level botanist and miner as well

[remote lintel]

levequests are the expensive way

[silver ruin]

so you can get materials yourself

ya, theres ishgard restoration as well

[remote lintel]

you can power level them in the firmament

[silver ruin]

but if you dont wanna drop money you gotta get the mats yourself

aka leveling gatherers as well

[twilit patrol]

ok so the plan is , level up the miner and botanjst first

and then the rest right?

[remote lintel]

you can just keep gatherers ahead of crafters

[silver ruin]

^

[twilit patrol]

mhm

[silver ruin]

its also recommended to level all crafters at once cause they share gear besides the tools

mainhand/offhand

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vgtU7HFtG87TrJ9U47vnzkFMhSl5HKz7bjJhRXbxaas/edit# is the ishgard restoration guide with macros for leveling crafters

[twilit patrol]

https://youtu.be/XEg0Hy77yuo is this a good guide if u know?

[silver ruin]

uhhh idont really keep up to date with youtube guides so i cant really comment on that

[twilit patrol]

he gives macros and stuff

[remote lintel]

if youre going to do ishgard check the #doh-dol-lounge pins

[twilit patrol]

yeah i guess i gonna stick with ishgard

[silver ruin]

think the guid ei linked is the one pinned in that channel

[remote lintel]

i wouldnt trust desperius

[silver ruin]

for ishgard restoration

[twilit patrol]

yeah i heard that somewhere

to not trust him

[silver ruin]

generally though people dont really recommend youtube guides cause a lot can change between when they were uploaded and the current patch

[twilit patrol]

thats why i asked

[silver ruin]

unless its like, a guide for a specific duty

[twilit patrol]

man crafting is so complex 😄

i feel like i am gonna be loosing money at first

[silver ruin]

good possibility

not if you make everything including gear yourself though

[manic flare]

you will be losing a lot of money until you get your crafters to 80

it's an expensive investment with a long-term payoff

[obsidian patio]

It’s very possible to make money leveling up if you know where to look

[silver ruin]

^

[obsidian patio]

Like selling items that are used for leve quests

Or selling glamour/furniture

[silver ruin]

in that aspect however: dont let those profits you can get from leveling actually slow down your leveling

[twilit patrol]

yeah glamour is selling really good

[manic flare]

most of the glamours in the master recipes sell very well

[obsidian patio]

Yeah you’d be surprised at how much HQ leveling gear can sometimes sell for

[twilit patrol]

i saw that

220-250 rings sell for 50-60k

i asked a guy yesterday to craft some for me

it cost me 1k each

[silver ruin]

you also gotta keep in mind how fast they're selling though

[twilit patrol]

ye that too

[manic flare]

keep in mind that the turnover for some of these items are very slow

so it might be on your retainer sell list for quite some time

[twilit patrol]

i plan to sell them cheaper to see profits

50-60k is plain greediness

[silver ruin]

basically though the ishgard restoration guide i linked/is the same one in the doh/dol lounge here and will give you the info you need for ishgard restoration

[silver ruin]

supply and demand my dude, like when new stuff drops its normally hella high, and goes down from there

its just economics

[manic flare]

also depending on your world (alot of the pre level 80 crafted items gets undercut by bot sellers)

i've heard this is a notorious problem on certain servers

[silver ruin]

its a probelm on almost every server

you just cant prove they're bots

[twilit patrol]

thats 220 ilvl gear lol

[flat yew]

do we know exactly how long an ingame hour is or does it fluctuate?

[twilit patrol]

and demand isnt even high

i dont understand those prices

[silver ruin]

generally though food/pots for raid gear are solid things to sell thoguh

[twilit arch]

2mins 55s @flat yew

[twilit patrol]

barely even buys the, at that price

[obsidian patio]

It’s because it’s old level cap gear

[silver ruin]

nobodys selling lower so they can set it how they want it

[obsidian patio]

So it’s ignored for the most part

[twilit arch]

a day is 70 minutes IRL

[obsidian patio]

Most people generally just buy that stuff for glamour

[twilit patrol]

yeap

dead hive stuff sell solid

costs like 20k mats

[manic flare]

i would focus on selling glam items...as the movement for them are much higher than the battle gear accessories

[silver ruin]

really depends what specific items you're comparing

[twilit patrol]

yeah i plan to sell glamour stuff

they are low risk investment

[manic flare]

alot of peoeple wont buy the level 60, 70 crafted gear because it's just easier and cheaper to use poetics to buy tomestone gear

so the movement on those items (even though they look expensive) is very slow

[twilit patrol]

i buy 60-70 xd cuz i need poetics for relic

but i asked people to craft for me

but ye 60-70 wont be sold that well

i havent seen how well exarchic gear sells

[flat yew]

awesome, thanks

[twilit patrol]

but 1 part is like 40-50k worth of mats

[manic flare]

exarchic gear sells for average 100k

[twilit patrol]

yeah

[manic flare]

at least on crystal

[twilit patrol]

130-150 body

[manic flare]

not sure if that's the case in your datacenter

[twilit patrol]

depends on a class i guess

casters stuff is expensive

melee not so much

at least it was like that 3-4 days ago

[manic flare]

i've been able to grab tank and cast set with each piece 100k or less

but i world hop to find the lowest price

[twilit patrol]

same

do u jse universalis?

[manic flare]

no

is universalis updated in real time?

[twilit patrol]

if u contribute

[manic flare]

i assume it's a marketboard plugin

[twilit patrol]

yeah

if u contribute via plugin it updates

[twilit arch]

none of the mb sites are going to be perfectly update

[manic flare]

does the "!market" command use the same API as universalis?

[twilit arch]

yes

its pulling from universalis

[manic flare]

if that's thse case, i only find the "!market" command useful for low-volume, low-movement items

stuff that sells multiple times daily aren't usually well reflected by the API

[twilit patrol]

normally when i look for gear sets , i just make a spreadsheet for servers and hop between lol

tiring but what can i do

[twilit arch]

that said tho, this is getting a bit more discussion-y

[manic flare]

i think a very underutilized method of gil is farming level 51-60 dungeons unsync'ed and turning them in to GC for seals

you can finish, for example "the aery" in 5-6 minutes and get all the gear (around 10-15k worth of GC)

[storm patrol]

I did my lvl10 class quest

how do i become rogue

[twilit arch]

you need to hjead to limsa

[remote lintel]

go to the fishermans guild

go next to it

[storm patrol]

oo okay

[remote lintel]

talk to man

[sly willow]

weekly restriction for lost blades aren't lifted yet right?

[wintry sable]

I got full ilvl500 gear today and following a rotation by someone else. It says i need around 530cp to craft neo-ishgard and i only have 500cp so there is at least around 30cp missing. The rotation says no need to be specialist nor need to food and drinks and even buff which made me curious. How's that possible? Did i miss something?

[remote lintel]

melds?

[wintry sable]

Oh right...

Totally forget they exist

[twilit arch]

correct, won't be lifted until 5.5 @sly willow

[wintry sable]

Ty

[storm patrol]

where exactly is the person @remote lintel

[twilit patrol]

and what do u buy with gc seals?

[manic flare]

glamour prisms

and glamour dispellers

on crystla glamour prisms sell for 300-400 each

[twilit arch]

that's not limsa

[manic flare]

and they move extremely fast

glamour prisms for me takes around anywhere from 1-15 minutes to sell

[twilit patrol]

should i bother leveling my gc? i can turn in gear for gc

[manic flare]

up to you

[storm patrol]

wtf how do i get there

[twilit patrol]

expert delivery id called i think

[remote lintel]

its in limsa

[open coral]

Take an airship.

Or teleport.

[twilit arch]

higher ranks mean bigger seal cap

[open coral]

Actually, you can take a ferry from where you are - Vesper Bay to Limsa.

[twilit arch]

at most, you should atleast get to 2nd LT

[storm patrol]

Sorry i have no clue how to get there today is my first day playing

[sly willow]

argh dammit... ok thanks for the anwer o/

[proper magnet]

I'm currently going through the Eden:Verse questlines. How do the loot rules work? I can get 1 piece of loot from each fight, right?

[twilit arch]

1st LT/Cpt are entirely up to you

[storm patrol]

Ferry is suspended for now it says :p

[remote lintel]

what level is your msq

[twilit arch]

Eden Verse has no weekly lockout on it

[faint flare]

Continue the MSQ

[twilit arch]

its the Eden Promise fights that do

[faint flare]

you go to the other cities at lv15 story

[proper magnet]

Oh, there is even more after these 4?

[open coral]

Have you done the MSQ titled "The Ul'dahn Envoy" yet?

[twilit arch]

yes

[proper magnet]

I didn't know, thanks

[pure bough]

How do I deal with getting an error-code when trying to pay for a subscription?

[remote lintel]

[storm patrol]

I'm at this

i guess i do main story

[open coral]

You haven't. Do your MSQ

MSQ is almost always going to be the answer to "how do I do X"

[remote lintel]

you need to get to msq lvl 15

to travel to other cities

[storm patrol]

Sorry FFXIV is very confusing to me early game

[open coral]

The big thing to remember is that character level is different from MSQ level.

[hoary kayak]

cute emote

[twilit patrol]

@manic flare 250 on my server but they sell in huge batches, maybe sell it for 300-350 but in batches of 4-5?

[open coral]

You can have a higher character level than your MSQ level..

[remote lintel]

everything is story locked

[storm patrol]

had the sameissue with my last MMO xd but after late game I will understand the game

[manic flare]

sell in batches of 30-50

[flat yew]

are leve quests the best xp source for botanist/miner or can I do something else to get them higher? I'm sitting at about 70 for both of them and it feels like a drag now

[open coral]

Generally when we say "you need X level" we're talking about MSQ level rather than character level.

[storm patrol]

[twilit patrol]

ok, thanks

[remote lintel]

gc turn ins, ishgard, etc

[manic flare]

you can get away with higher price if you sell in lower batches

[flat yew]

ishard?

[remote lintel]

ishgard restoration

[faint flare]

Leves are very good for gatherers yes. Beast tribes like qitiri for 70+

[flat yew]

is restoration also for gatherers? I thought it was only crafters

[faint flare]

Yes

[mint sparrow]

So, as a Lancer/Dragoon can you use jump to avoid mechanics? Like if you jump at the last instant?

[faint flare]

You gather in the diadem

[faint flare]

Only if the jump moves you out

You're still on the ground

You cant jump over things

[flat yew]

huh, I've never heard of the diadem before. Guess I'll look that up on the wiki. thanks for the suggestion!

[mint sparrow]

Shoot, ok thanks @faint flare

[remote lintel]

jump/high jump doesnt move you

[flat yew]

oh, bummer, looks like I have to do more MSQs to unlock diadem gathering

[knotty night]

Is there a way to sort your crafting into armor for a specific class

I'm trying to make some level 20 lancer armor for myself

but I have no idea which professions have that stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

Do I have to beat Shadowbringers to get level 80 gear?

[remote lintel]

a lot of them

[remote lintel]

yes

[oak ice]

Not from the market board but otherwise

[remote lintel]

^

the crafter depends on what the armor is made out of

[manic flare]

i would imagine armorer and leatherworker for level 20 lancer gear

[remote lintel]

leather, cloth, metal, etc

[oak ice]

Your absolute last level 79 quest unlocks free i430 gear

[manic flare]

and lancer spears generally are crafted by carpenters

for some odd reason

[pure bough]

How do I deal with getting this error-code when trying to pay for a subscription?

[oak ice]

Long wood shafts with small pointy bits

[remote lintel]

relogging, using a different browser, using your phone browser, disabling vpns/ad/popup blockers, using phone hotspot wifi

[wispy falcon]

Are deluxe garden patches the only ones worth bothering with?

[leaden ginkgo]

Can you join FCs on other servers? (but same datacenter)

[obsidian patio]

@pure bough

Try this

[obsidian patio]

No.

[obsidian patio]

Pretty much

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you 🙂

[full latch]

can people win loot with greed over someone with need? is that possible?

[twilit arch]

no

[full latch]

good

[twilit arch]

need always trumps greed

[pure bough]

ty, it seems it may have been the VPN in my case.

[pure bough]

VPN for me, or so it seems.

[manic flare]

does high latency affect solo instances as much as partied duties?

[strange coral]

I would think so. Mob positioning, server ticks and such are still controlled by the server

[alpine shadow]

Depends on how high latency you have. Imo, i don't think it should affect much if you can clear the solo instance or not.

Since they are all easy enough on mechanics.

[delicate field]

where does one farm Mugwort? the wiki says "south of the Raincatcher Gully Docks X:20.9 Y:29.3" but i can't find it? there's nothing there

[gritty oracle]

I'm a lv70 mch and in mostly scaevan. My Drill and Reassemble are way off sync. I use Reassemble-Drill, Drill, then when Drill comes back up, my Reassemble is 15-12s off cd. Should I use it anyway and let Reassemble wait, or just not use it and instead sit on Drill until Reassemble is ready?

[strange coral]

Everything I'm reading says the same thing. That area is a little big, so make sure you check the whole area.

[delicate field]

is it possible that patches don't appear if you are below a certain level?

[obsidian patio]

Yes.

Mugwort needs you to be at least level 36 to gather it

[delicate field]

ah could be why. I am level 32

but i dont see patches having it either

[strange coral]

The nodes themselves are level 40, so you need to be at least 36 to see them

[twilit arch]

no

35

its every 5 levels

[still pike]

so when you get to ishgard and want to level one of the classes there and use it for heavensward, what is the best way to get one of those classes up to speed, i'm currently just grinding guildhests and dungeons

[remote lintel]

not guildhests

[open coral]

!altlvlguide

[remote lintel]

roulettes, beast tribes, highest lvl dungeon

[open coral]

Dammit got the command wrong again.

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[open coral]

@still pike

[still pike]

aren't beast tribe quests level 40ish?

[remote lintel]

yes

[open coral]

Ishgard jobs start at 30

[remote lintel]

when you get to lvl 40s

[still pike]

so for now just do stuff like haukke manor?

[open coral]

Honestly highest-level dungeon spam is going to be your best option regardless.

Beast tribes have a limit to how many you can do per day.

But you can spam dungeons.

[manic flare]

for healer/tank: highest level dungeon
for dps: palace of the dead floors 51-60

[open coral]

PotD is only recommended if your dps queue times are greater than 15 minutes.

[remote lintel]

potd is for dps with long queues

[open coral]

Otherwise it's still dungeons over PotD

[still pike]

sounds like a plan to me

[manic flare]

when is your dps queues not under 15 minutes

[gloomy mortar]

Check your Challenge Log. You get Exp for doing things like 5 Fates, 10 Fates, 3 guild heists, 10 different challenges, etc @still pike

[open coral]

My dps queues during peak times are in the 10 minute range.

Even solo queueing

[manic flare]

your server has a good amount of healers/tanks then

[still pike]

welp i can get 2 levels from doing 3 more guildhests

so not wasted timee

[manic flare]

i find that during peak range the dps queues are even longer

early morning ie 8-9 am for me is when the dps queues are shortest

[still pike]

I run tank personally

[manic flare]

so do the highest leveling dungeon

[open coral]

Yeah, for a tank the question is irrelevant.

Dungeon spam is going to be your go-to.

Make sure to do your daily roulettes too.

[austere agate]

How can i contact square enix support outside the us?

[still pike]

i already did my roulettes available currently

[open coral]

Use the .eu or .jp portal.

[manic flare]

also not all roulettes are good for leveling........i think only the msq, leveling, alliance raid, and frontline roulettes are worth the time for exp

[open coral]

They're all worth it.

[austere agate]

I live in america but the fee to call a us number are expensive

[open coral]

Uh

What

[austere agate]

(America the continent)

[open coral]

Yeah, but support from a country that your account isn't on won't do you any good.

Support is localized.

So contacting EU or JP support for your NA account won't be useful.

And would probably be even more expensive to call.

But why are you calling support? Just use a web ticket.

[leaden ginkgo]

If I'm tanking a low level dungeon. E.g level 41 . Is pulling 5-6 mobs a big pull ?

[open coral]

5-6 mobs is a normal pull. That's like, 2 packs.

[leaden ginkgo]

Knew i wasn't crazy 😂

[austere agate]

Web ticket?

[leaden ginkgo]

Healer telling me it was a big pull. I know i'm used to level 80 tanking but come on
