plain python
#

I only need to have 858 GP to get all bonus yield/attempt from Diadem node, right?

silver ruin
#

you can check your specific server though

plain python

ancient whale

@leaden ginkgo word of advice not to be following desperius guides to much. there are some which contain misinformation or don't give you all the information you need.

Got u thank you buddy

#

Wondering if you can grow crops in an apartment?

proud willow
#

You cannot have a garden but you can plant seeds in a flowerpot in an apartment

#

however, since you can't crossbreed, you'd be losing most of the value of growing a cash crop

How often should I craft gear for gatherera

#

Like are there certain lvls I should switch out gear

#

I want to craft everything now so I dont have to do it later

can you macro /visor so there won't be a need to type /visor in chat again?

yes

do new players have any advantages or special statuses/ programs?

@fervent silo @remote lintel thank you!

remote lintel
#

@bleak cobalt novice network

obsidian patio
#

Retainers are character specific

#

If you mean the option of paying for extra retainers, then you don’t pay extra for having multiple characters and each character gets the extra retainer slot(s)

remote lintel
#

you have to wait

#

like 24 hours max

bleak cobalt
#

can you check the date your character was created?

remote lintel
#

no

wintry chasm
#

Well kinda

#

You can look at your achievements on lodestone and filter to oldest first

#

Since you SHOULD get your first achievement that same day

#

Unless you somehow played for less than a minute or something

lethal mist
#

I had the first expansion on PS4 and just now bought the complete edition instead, but I wanna buy it for PC too. Anyone have a cheap version for PC? Like cdkeys or something? Not sure if I can ask for this here but I'm asking for legit keys/games here to pay for, just not 60 euros.

dim ridge
#

goes on sale a lot

bleak cobalt
#

do i still have to level every class for class skills?

#

i only wanna touch a few classes

#

and ignore the ones i dont like

silver ruin
storm lynx
#

i cannot logi into my square enix acc on the game so i cant play it
what do i do

lethal mist
#

@silver ruin Even if they're legit versions that are registered on MogStation?

silver ruin
obsidian patio
wintry chasm
#

Well

#

You don't have to level OTHER classes for their skills to put on other jobs

#

cross class skills are gone

#

If that's what you meant

bleak cobalt
#

yeah i meant cross class

storm lynx
silver ruin
bleak cobalt
#

so theres no difference between a white mage that only has white mage at 80 and every other class at 0 and a white mage that has every class at lvl 80?

silver ruin
#

just wait for a sale.

bleak cobalt
#

wow nice

obsidian patio
#

Cross class doesn’t exist anymore

sour beacon
#

anybody online on Chaos who could help me with Crystal Tower dutys?

lethal mist
#

What sites other than steam are not "shady sellers" where I can check if they got sales?

obsidian patio
#

Amazon, GameStop, most major retailers

silver ruin
#

^

storm lynx
silver ruin
#

sites like cdkeys etc you dont know where the keys come from, if fraud happened to obtain the keys etc

silver ruin
obsidian patio
#

Yeah if the person that the key’s from ever asks for a chargeback your account can easily get banned

bleak cobalt
#

is there a ranking of class difficulty?

wintry chasm
bleak cobalt
#

are bard / machinist hard?

silver ruin
#

that being said, to play decently yes, but if you wanna play good you're gonna have to look into stuff beyond basic stuff

lethal mist
#

Thanks guys

silver ruin
#

machinist is mostly a rigid rotation

#

bard is...proc based? and they have to juggle songs

obsidian patio
#

I always found Summoner/Ninja/Gunbreaker hard, but that’s more me not really liking the flow of their rotations.

bleak cobalt
#

whats the best all round class between machinist / bard/ ninja?

lethal mist
#

For some reason I get "Access Denied" when I try to go to gamestop.com. Anyone else?

worthy basin
#

Bard is DOT management and songs combo

#

and machinist is ping dependent, i think bard too.

obsidian patio
#

@lethal mist works just fine for me. Are you using a VPN?

lethal mist
#

@obsidian patio Nope, everything stock. All other sites work normally. So weird... Could you just check the price of the FFXIV Complete Edition there?

obsidian patio
#

Normal price of 60

lethal mist
#

Ok thank you. Will look into why I can't access the site at a later time tho, weird...

bleak cobalt
#

wait

#

is green gear the bis gear?

wintry chasm
#

No

#

Green gear is basically just...rarity

#

It's mainly used for dungeon and crafted gear

obsidian patio
#

White = glamour gear + crafted gear not at level cap
Green = level cap crafted gear + dungeon gear
Blue = Tomestone/Trial/Raid/Scrip gear
Purple = Relic weapons

#

With a few exceptions here and there

#

Also there’s pink for Aetherial accessories but those stop existing at and past level 50

midnight lion
#

iirc aetherial got removed completely last patch

#

when they did the dungeon gear rework

obsidian patio
#

Aetherial accessories still exist, but the rest of the Aetherial stuff got removed

#

Okay so I got demon lanner
What do I do with these demon tokens

wintry chasm
#

Either throw them away or you can trade them for the Zurvan weaps

vital ruin
#

Ig I'll get zurvan weaps and disassemble them

green grail
#

if you have armorer desynth leveled then buy shields, you can get like 3 times as much since they're only 3 totems > 3x chance for the rare material > profit

#

Is there a way for me to practice moving the boss around? I noticed that me not being able to smoothly and properly move the boss causes dps lost for both me and my raid

#

How long does it usually take you guys to get from 70-80 as a tank job ?

#

Leveling my 2nd alt job and was wondering if i should just spam dungeons as DRK ?

left moth
warm snow
#

Yeah 70-80 will drag a bit as your alt class bonus is halved. From 71 on bozja is the best exp iirc

#

But that can also be dependent on how busy an instance is

midnight lion
#

I have a dumb question about training others' chocobos

#

does it matter what fruit I shove down their gullets?

left moth
#

if just wat to train for achivo prog it shuldn't

midnight lion
#

like, just general leveling

spark cradle
#

anyway to edit the render distance (if i think that's the issue here), didnt use to look this bad

warm snow

It's foggy

#

Like literally foggy weather

#

This happens a lot in mor dhona

spark cradle
#

wait that's a fog?

#

I got my Final Fantasy 14 subscription on a recurring subscription so if I were to say add 2 months with a Game Time card right when my reoccurring subscription time comes up will it use that game time before it charges me for my recurring subscription again?

warm snow
#

See the little icon in the top right of your minimap, hover over it to see the current weather

left moth
spark cradle
#

yeah just looks rather scuffed for a fog

potent shale
#

I have a question with leves

#

which one is better to do when you trying to level up between 60 - 70

#

the Kugane Leves or Ishgard Large Leves?

green grail
#

kugane

plain python
green grail
#

they sum up at the bottom

#

you have to click the row to select it, it gets highlighted

obsidian patio
devout lichen
#

why cant I need sometimes when I need the item

obsidian patio
#

Need is only available if your current class can use the equipment

devout lichen
#

what about rings, cant need those either

obsidian patio
#

Accessories are finicky for pre-61 since they’re designed for specific roles but aren’t role-locked

devout lichen
#

oh, is that why some accessories are pink

#

or what is pink

obsidian patio
#

Pink means it has randomized secondary stats

devout lichen
#

oh, so there is the normal rarity of the item, white green probably blue idk, then it can also be pink on top?

obsidian patio
#

Nah. Pink is a separate rarity that stops appearing past 49

#

But to give a quick key for what accessories are for what classes for pre-50:
White = Casters
Purple = Ranged + Ninja
Blue/Green = Healers
Red/yellow = Melee DPS + Tanks

#

Yellow and red might still be further restricted, Yellow being for tanks and red being for melee DPS

devout lichen
#

is that the same for armor too

obsidian patio
#

This is only for accessories

#

Tanks = ones that list tank classes
Lancer/Dragoon = stuff that lists them or “Disciple of War”
Every other melee/ranged DPS = “Disciple of War”
Casters/healers = “All Classes” with intelligence/mind

#

Once you hit level 50 content and onwards gear becomes locked to specific roles

#

Fending = Tanks
Healing = healers
Casting = casters
Aiming = ranged DPS
Striking = Samurai/Monk. Accessories are Slaying.
Maiming = Dragoon. Accessories are Slaying.
Scouting = Ninja. Accessories are Aiming.

devout lichen
#

oh alright, thanks

#

what are all these dyes for that I get from quests

deep gyro
#

you can use them to dye items in this game, your gear for the most part

#

if you can dye something usually there is a small empty circle in the top right corner of the item icon and when you right click it there should be an option to dye

#

once you dye something the small circle in the corner of the icon is filled with the colour that you have dyed it with

devout lichen
#

think I see it but it doesnt have the option to dye

honest anvil
#

There’s a quest to unlock dyeing iirc

#

In vesper bay(?) called “color your world”

devout lichen
#

oh

wintry chasm
#

Same NPC unlocks glamour

#

so you should do that too

devout lichen
#

I do have 2 glamour prisms from quests so far

#

but good idea, thanks

#

also should I buy shadowbringers as soon as I get to 60 cuz someone said there is a bunch more quests between 60 and when stormblood starts and I'm wondering if you can continue leveling with those quests

warm snow
#

If you're fully invested in the game definitely, if you want to play samurai, dancer, gunbreaker or red mage before then you'll also have to buy shadowbringers

terse grail
wintry chasm
#

yeah

#

the main issue is just you're going to hit level 60 much earlier than that point

#

so it's more than just losing xp from those quests

terse grail
#

in the end, up to you. if your invested in the game i would pick up ShB the moment you hit 60 so that any extra exp you gain doesn't go down the drain

devout lichen
#

guess I will buy it then, at this rate I will get to 60 before the end of the week

warm snow
#

It also gets you stormblood, have fun

honest anvil
#

There’s a specific levequest in ShB for gil making purpose

flat yew
#

ah, ShB... still have to work my way there haha

honest anvil
#

not sure about early, past expac leves

flat yew
#

just finished main stormblood

warm snow

Said leve quest is specifically for culinarian

#

So get cooking

flat yew
#

ah that's nice. I got my CUL to 80 already

devout lichen
#

when do those special meters for classes unlock

green grail

#

Why isnt it offeeing me single world from Light DC?

#

When I try to transfer

#

Twintania is preferred rn so i don't understand

green grail
#

do you have characters on light?

forest lark
#

No currently on Chaos Louisoix

#

I want to go to Light Twintania or any of Light worlds

#

Maybe I have to change DC i. Game?

#

Hmm doesnt work :/

gentle leaf
#

do we have numbers on castrum exp gain from bozja?

forest lark
#

Figured it out

marsh vessel
#

would this be the place to ask for party members for an E6N clear? if not whcih channel, if any u.u

open coral
#

You're better off either just queueing that in the DF, or (if you're having trouble finding a group since it's way off peak hours for NA right now), starting a group for it in PF.

forest lark
#

Ok, so why it wont let me choose Light DC to transfer. I literally have no characters there

#

It allows me every DC and world

#

Except Light

#

I'd like to mention that I alreqdy transfered from Light to Chaos somewhere in January and it wasnt preferred world

wintry chasm
#

can you screenshot?

forest lark
#

Could it be that

#

Baaically it lists all dc where ai can transfer except Light and its worlds

open coral
#

I just checked the EU server statuses, and only Twintania should be restricted to character creation/transfer right now.

forest lark
#

Yeah, it doesnt offer any other Light world either

open coral
#

Can you screenshot like Cal asked?

forest lark
#

I'll try

#

That's gonna take few seconds I need to swotch to PC the list is long, literally can transfer to Na dc, Japan Dc, other Chaos worlds, except Light worlds

#

Ok it works now Im so dumb, turns out I had characters on every world except twintania and since entry sub allows 1 thats why and twintania is preferred so cant there

#

It all works now, sorry for trouble haha

#

How long preferred status lasts, I kind of want twintania my friends are there and I'd lovr to join their fc ultimately

open coral
#

Until they change it - at least until 5.5 for current preferred servers.

#

Also, it's not locked to new character creation because it's preferred, it's locked temporarily locked to new character creation because there are too many people online.

forest lark
#

Oh so I can transfer to preferred still, should I try later then

open coral
#

Yes

forest lark
#

Uh, yay ok thx

Hey, am I able to ask a question mkd-related on here?

#

Mod-related*

gleaming mist
#

can ask if you want

silver lintel
#

i have a question about an early ShB spoiler, would it be fine to put it here in a spoiler tag or should it go in the #archived-lore-spoilers chat instead? i guess the question is more about a mechanic or bug

green grail
#

is it the fog in il mheg

silver lintel
#

not exactly

#

uhhh, okay i have an idea

green grail
#

just spoiler it here

silver lintel
#

yeah okay

green grail
#

with || on each end

silver lintel
#

(don't open unless in ShB)
||the 2 people you can search for at the very start, i took up both and left yesterday in the middle of one, got back on and alisaie's is gone||

#

not sure what i'm missing

green grail
#

if you have any msq active then just do what you have, you'll do both zones/questlines anyways

#

and if you don't have any active then pick up/do the one displayed in the msq tracker ui element thing

silver lintel
#

rip

umbral moat
#

Is there a way to check the timer for your house to see how many days you have left before its demolished?

plain python
agile laurel
dapper oyster
#

this is going to sound really dumb... but i have no other place to ask...

...
how you change class?

#

not advancing, like from WHM to samurai

strange coral
#

Equip the weapon for that class

umbral moat
dapper oyster
strange coral
#

Because the base classes don't have job stones

#

Also, make use of gearsets. They make changing easier.

wintry chasm
#

besides the game already has a help menu that explains swapping classes by swapping weapon

supple burrow
#

Hey guys, I'm on the Free Trial at level 26, and I was just wondering when mounts become available?

faint flare
#

!faq mounts

zinc orbitBOT
#
Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

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

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

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

'Can I make my mount faster?'

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

faint flare
#

Read top half

supple burrow
#

Oh thank you @faint flare I didn't realise I could use an FAQ command here. That's really helpful.

vital ruin
#

Okay so this dood on yt sold a bunch of Zurvanite Carapace Fragment for a lot of gils I'm talking mils(cos 400k on his server) and said it's like 50/50 drop rate. I ran zurvan extreme 10 or more times and haven't seen it drop once

wintry chasm
vital ruin
#

Hell his mount dropped twice but not the mat

slate arrow
vital ruin
#

He said 50/50 :/

slate arrow
#

This is also ffxiv

#

50/50 could mean you get a drop 5 times in a row before going 5 times without

#

also, we don't know the exact extreme drop rate but

#

The material definitely isn't 50/50

vital ruin
#

Ugh I just can't make good gils

#

Ig I'll just spend an eternity in the diadems

raven burrow
#

which healer class has shared lvl with a dps class ? was it scholar/summoner ?

strange coral
#

Yes

raven burrow
#

so if i lvl it , both of the classes retain the lvl at the same time ?

strange coral
#

Yes

#

When you earn exp as one, it will earn "arcanist experience" which applies to both

raven burrow
#

does this also work when buying the lvl skip to 70 ?

strange coral
#

Yes

raven burrow
#

or is it mandatory to start from 1

#

ah cool

strange coral
#

Although you will need to unlock the other job separately. When you do, it will automatically be the same level.

warm snow
#

So you'll have a lv70 summoner but no scholar level at all until you unlock it. And you'll have to do all the scholar job quests

#

Or vice versa

raven burrow
#

even if i did it with the lvl skip which usually skips the quests ?

warm snow
#

Summoner and scholar are separate jobs

#

With their own separate job quests

strange coral
#

It skips the quests of the job you pick to skip, but not the other

warm snow
#

So you'd technically have to buy the skips for both

raven burrow
#

yeah ok makes sense

warm snow
#

Also the job quests are fun and I wouldn't recommend skipping them

#

But eh, you do you

raven burrow
#

ive lvled all melees , ranged and tanks to 80 by hand , i really am not looking forward to it again unless its a new class

fervent prawn
#

For the Relic Reborn quests does it matter what weapon you use as a host for what Gerolt asks you to do?

warm snow
#

Host?

winged fossil
#

SCH/SMN is great as a two for one

warm snow
#

Tf are you on about?

#

Hell ask you to craft a specific weapon and meld it as part of the quest

fervent prawn
#

Ah, it sounded like it was being spoken of in generic terms.

warm snow
#

And hell give you an incomplete relic that you need to have equipped for a few parts of the quest

#

These parts will say so in the quest description

fervent prawn
#

Thanks, that's the clarification I needed.

warm snow
#

Do XXX while equipped with incomplete relic

#

And bring gerolt a XXX with two lv3 XXX materia

fervent prawn
#

Yeah, I got asked for the xxx with two lvl3 materia, I just didn't realize it was in fact a specific item

#

Considering those usually get capitalized and this wasn't.

raven burrow
#

sch and smn still have class locked gear , right ?

warm snow
#

Yes

strange coral
#

Yes, and role locked gear. They don't share gear

warm snow
#

Sch is a healer after all

#

You can reuse books from level 1-30

#

But you really shouldn't

raven burrow
#

hmm okay thanks for the info

warm snow
#

I mean even if they did it would suck, healers need wisdom, casters need intelligence etc etc

raven burrow
#

its mostly for glam tbh

#

ive seen a cosplay of male yuna , but its locked to SMN which saddens me

#

it looks sooooo good

#

makes sense tho i guess , since yuna is a summoner after all

drifting parcel

can I roll for unique stuff that I have in my glamour chest?

Is the ivalice storyline in NG+?

wintry chasm

Yes

#

But you got to do all the sidequests first to unlock it

Like the bacon bread one

The sidequests on the prima vista and stuff

Check under the system tab for those keys that it names

forest sage
#

seems like you need to assign keys to these commands

#

can be any key, just something

#

probably to prevent ppl without a mouse to not be able to interact with anything

clever ether
#

I assigned keys as in choosing g18 for target self

forest sage
#

it unassugned these commands in the process

#

so just go through the list and assign keys to them

#

it's the 4 first ones in the System tab in keybindings

clever ether
#

Okay after some help from you guys I could narrow it down to only getting this error when trying to change binds in "Targetting".

#

Will see those tips you gave me! THanks alot for the help!

#

Ah its "Confirm" which are bound to NUM0 causing this issue.

leaden ginkgo
#

When making a fresh character, can you just story skip + go right to using leve kits to level a crafter alt up to 80?

#

Or do you also need a battle job leveled?

raven sage
#

Technically no in that case but you would if you wanted things from shadowbringers

#

And didn't want to buy it all

clever ether
#

Sorry for another newbie question but "Confirm" and "Cancel" does what exactly ingame?

leaden ginkgo
#

I'd just like to skip a few alts to abuse the coffee biscuit leve

raven sage

strange coral
leaden ginkgo
#

I know, I'm looking more into

#

Lazy gil making

deep gyro
#

i meant the effort that you have to go into as well

leaden ginkgo
#

Buy all the stuff off MB, make 750k-1mil profit by clicking buttons while watching a movie

deep gyro
#

could make you even more money

#

by getting new alts etc

#

you can craft potions

#

with 1 or 2 buttons

#

with a geared level 80 alchemist

#

and do the same thing

#

press 2 buttons over and over while watching a movie

gritty oracle
#

In DR normal, is it considered griefing not to wear essences? I prefer to skip it since it's gonna be lost after the 40m run.

deep gyro
#

i use it because i want my run to be faster but i would say people who dont use it are griefing no

raven sage
#

It's not griefing but you are helping make it a 40+ minute run

deep gyro
#

the people making it a 40m run are the ones that are dead on the ground for half of it

#

not the people not using essences imo

raven sage
#

I think it's both

#

But either way it's not helping is the point

hoary kayak
#

i wouldnt say its griefing tbh but you should

deep gyro
#

but it's duty finder

gritty oracle
#

tbh I'm mostly running DR for artifacts and grinding for the rezt achievement on rdm

raven sage
#

You're just not outright hindering in this case

deep gyro
#

i literally don't expect anything from it

#

haha

gleaming mist
#

you get essences for free by breathing in bozja

#

what else are you gonna use them for

raven sage
#

Yeah if you don't want to run them then don't but really please do

faint flare
#

^

gleaming mist
#

might as well make the run shorter

leaden ginkgo
#

help, when you buy the game from steam where is the registration key?

deep gyro
#

if you want a smooth run you gotta organise it, expecting people to play perfectly in duty finder is just setting yourself up for disappointment

gritty oracle
#

I don't go to bozja anymore, and in DR I only get white essences which I need rank 15 to decipher

faint flare
#

Especially pures, those are piss easy to get with cluster farns

faint flare
raven sage
#

If you don't have them you don't have them

#

If anyone calls you out on it they're just being rude

deep gyro
#

but they are right, essences are pretty easy to get in bozja

#

you can get a couple awakenings easily by doing fates in the top third of the map

#

and they give you skirmishers

hoary kayak
#

maybe check MB too if you're rich

Im trying to find if there is a no "snapback camera" option

zealous flower
#

are there weapons you can get directly for tomestones (allegory/revelation) in ShB or do they all need the tokens and some other item? i looked around eulmore but got a little confused

deep gyro
#

you need another item

#

you need to do 7 weeks of edens promise eternity

#

or it drops from 2nd floor of savage

#

or you can buy with 4 weeks of 2nd floor savage books

strange coral
faint flare
#

Buy 10 tokens of rowena via tomes and trade 7 blades from eden for the tomestone

zealous flower
#

so just buying the crafted 510 or whatever ones on MB is probably better to get started if i have the money

deep gyro
#

yes

#

or castrum marium extreme

#

especially if you're looking to start savage i wouldn't go lower than 510

#

makes your life and your party members' lives harder

#

you can also farm resistance weapons (max level is currently 515) but that takes a significant amount of time and effort

leaden ginkgo
#

Do you mean tinctures?

deep gyro
#

grade 4 tincture of whatever

#

they sell for around 4k a pop on my server

#

prices and # of sales spike on tuesday evenings due to the weekly reset

deep gyro
#

if you go to balance discord they have a guide on how to level up and gear your crafters to be able to use their level 80 4 star macros without spending a fortune

#

these are like 22-30 step macros but it just means you literally press 2 buttons and afk and your craft is done

dark copper
deep gyro
#

most people don't plan ahead like that :p

#

you would think they would and they should

#

but most of the time raiders just log in 5 min before raid

#

are like ah crap im outta pots

#

buys 99 from marketboard

dark copper
#

do people make a lot of money from endgame raids?

deep gyro
#

raiding doesn't give you money

#

it gives you the best items in the game

#

what they call best in slot

#

you can buy it with tomestones

#

at the same ilvl

#

but the substats won't be ideal

#

and you can't even upgrade to 530 until the raid tier is like

#

months old

dark copper
#

BiS is edenmete, correct?

deep gyro
#

no

#

its a mix of augmented cryptlurker and edenmorn

#

edenmete is only ilvl 510

#

what class do you play?

dark copper
#

i have smn, pld, war at 80

deep gyro
#

ok just as an example i'll find the link to current smn bis

#

usually theres like 1 or 2 or 3 different sets based on personal preferences

#

generally you can't even get max ilvl pieces outside of savage raiding for the first few months

#

unaugmented tomestone gear is always 10 levels below the max

#

once the new 24 man alliance raid comes out you can exchange weekly tokens from there to upgrade your tomestone gear

#

you will probably also need tokens from the two other alliance raids in this expansion to get the upgrade token since we're currently on the third and final raid tier of the expansion

hoary kayak
#

is relic gonna be BiS with the next step 🤔

deep gyro
#

yes

hoary kayak
#

pog

deep gyro
#

think patch 5.5 is coming out april 13th?

scarlet arrow
#

yes

deep gyro
#

i think there will be multiple steps

#

before they can transform your 515 piece to 535 :p

hoary kayak
#

i hope the brd relic gets a nicer glow wawaMad

deep gyro
#

probably 2 steps at minimum

#

i hope 5.5 ultimate weapon gets a nice glow

#

oh wait

oblique yew
#

at what point can i start farming relic weapons?

faint flare
#

When you complete the story of that expansion you can get the relic weapon of that era

#

Though best do it at 80 to make the grind abit faster due to soloing old content

oblique yew
#

i am currently in patch 4.4

deep gyro
#

i think you need to complete the return to ivalice questline too

scarlet arrow
#

for the ShB relic, yes

faint flare
#

Then you can do Arr, heavensward and stormblood relic if you want

deep gyro
#

i just wanted to mention that since it's not part of msq afaik

scarlet arrow
#

right

oblique yew
#

just want them for glamour

deep gyro
#

i think it's the fastest to farm hw relics atm

oblique yew
#

ahh. i forgot to mention that i wanted dancer relics

deep gyro
#

oh

#

yeah you're gonna need to do shadowbringers then

faint flare
#

Then there's only Shadowbringers

oblique yew
#

oofff

#

long way to go

deep gyro
#

or you can buy old ex trial weapons

#

or forge some palace of the dead weapons

#

those are the only glams i can think of that glow

#

"glow"

#

that aren't from shb

scarlet arrow
#

new jobs are not given old relics

deep gyro
#

oh yeah true

#

yeah it's super unlucky thern

#

*then

#

just palace weapons i guess :(

warm snow
#

There's shinryu weapons

#

But they ugly

oblique yew
#

and how's the story related to them?

warm snow
#

To what?

oblique yew
#

the relic questline? or is it just one dungeon?

warm snow
#

Lol you fucking wish

faint flare
#

Its a long grindy quest line

warm snow
#

Relics are always a whole grind quest line

deep gyro
#

you need to do all the quests from stormblood for the 3 alliance raids called return to ivalice

#

then you can start relic grind for shb

warm snow
#

Arr is definitely the worst, hw aren't too bad just expensive in tomes, no idea about sb and ShB isn't too bad so far

clever ether
#

This game is so beatiful

warm snow
#

Wait til you hit sb and ShB and they didn't have to work around the ps3

dark copper
oblique yew
#

ngl, SB was just yellow and brown to me

#

like how HW was just white and grey

warm snow
#

Sb was better in the far East

hoary kayak
#

yeah the far east part is gorgeous

High end duty tab

ahhh

faint flare
#

They're not in the regular duty finder

dark geyser
#

ty

faint flare
#

All current extremes, savages and ultimates go in there

#

And unreal

forest sage
#

queueing for them isn't going to do much good if you're not on a JP datacenter, use PF to find parties

dark geyser

faint flare
tame mortar
#

ty ty

devout lichen
#

where exactly is the bank because I haven't seen anything that resembles an obvious bank

faint flare
#

Retainers

#

Aka summoning bells

#

You need to hire retainers first after passing Scions of the seventh drawn msq quest

wheat plume
#

When are released the poetics gear (for example, was shire released when SB released?), I'd like to know when ShB poetics gear will be released, to wait until EW instead of farming the gear

dark copper
#

you can hold all the gil you have

faint flare
devout lichen
#

yeah im talking about holding items not gil

faint flare
#

Dont spread false info

wintry chasm
faint flare
#

Retainers hold your items and gil

forest lark
#

I managed to transfer to Twintania perfectly fine now

faint flare
#

Hire retainers at retainer voketes in main cities

#

Then access via summoning bells

wheat plume
wintry chasm
#

With EW release

#

early access really

wheat plume
#

only gear, or weapon too?

devout lichen
#

can you only rent inns to access that or there is player housing

wintry chasm
faint flare
#

Both

#

There's inn rooms for free, apartments and housing

wintry chasm
devout lichen
#

oh they arent?

wintry chasm
#

No

inner breach
#

what ff game is black mage from because that the next one ima play

devout lichen
#

I remember the game mentioning something about retainers when I rented an inn

faint flare
#

There's summoning bells in any city

wintry chasm
inner breach
#

what one is the best thats hes in

wintry chasm
#

It's one of the most common jobs

devout lichen
#

oh yeah that was it, clicked the bell in the inn and it told me stuff about retainers so I thought it was connected

wintry chasm
#

With Vivi

faint flare
#

Thats how you access them

wintry chasm
faint flare
#

You need to hire them

#

At retainee vokes in cities

wintry chasm
inner breach
#

what black mage sprite is this from

dark copper
#

FFIX

forest sage
#

FF1 black mage uses that sprite too

dark copper
#

also FFI

wintry chasm
#

(Vivi from FF9 is based on the FF1 black mage art for reference)

forest sage
#

that's basically the generic black mage, FF9 used it as a main character

devout lichen
#

right, I will go and find one then, cheers

#

I assume player housing costs a lot

faint flare
#

They're marked on maps

#

3mil for a small

#

House

vast temple
#

FF9 is a really great game and Vivi is one of my favorite characters in the series, fwiw

devout lichen
#

yeah thats a bit over my 80k budget

faint flare
#

Apartments are cheaper at 500k

inner breach
#

gregest everytime i see your pfp i think of villager

faint flare
#

Fc rooms are 300k

dark copper
faint flare
#

They stil are banks

devout lichen
#

offtopic but its a drawing off me

#

I found one

#

retainer

scarlet arrow
#

you can hire two for free (well for no additional fee other than your monthly sub)

devout lichen
#

retainers cost real money past 2?

scarlet arrow
#

yes

devout lichen
#

what do they even do that you would need more than 2

scarlet arrow
#

however unless you're a compulsive hoarder or you go all-in on crafting and need the space for mats you are unlikely to need more than 2

devout lichen
#

oh yeah they hold your items

dark copper
scarlet arrow
#

per retainer past 2

dark copper
#

note that you can't be on the free trial

devout lichen
#

yeah I messed up so im not on free trial so no worries with that

void vigil
#

Played a warrior in FFXIV from levels 1-70 back during the storm blood expansion but I quit shortly after hitting 70. I found that I burnt myself out from grinding out those levels as fast as I could. I see a new expansion was announced recently, so I’m thinking of giving the game another chance now that it’s been a while since I’ve played. I am a big endgame PvE fan (I’ve been in many raiding guilds throughout the lifecycle of World of Warcraft and enjoyed that style of endgame PvE content). I also really enjoy smaller scale PvE content like dungeons. I don’t care much for collecting things or doing “cosmetic” type activities in games, I’m really just interested in the actual combat, looting, and progression of MMOs. Can anyone share their honest opinion of FFXIV endgame PvE? Is there a lot of content and is it fun/challenging enough to keep me interested for a while? (Edit: while I enjoyed WoW tanking I found FFXIV warrior class very slow and boring - any fun class recs?)

devout lichen
#

is sprout for a certain playtime or progress in the story or what

dark copper
devout lichen
#

168 hours? that seems very specific

little swift
#

Thats 7 days

dark copper

damn you have the powers of math in you

#

never thought about that

oh

No its just a common question so I know it instinctively now

devout lichen
#

168 hours played?

warm snow

The power of math compels you

#

Yeah

#

Keep in mind if you pass 168 and aren't done 4.55 stormblood you'll still be a sprout

#

In terms of actual difficult non-outgeared content anyways

#

Stop shitposting slap

dark copper
#

related note, does anyone know how long returning player status lasts?

devout lichen
#

do you eventually get a speedup in every zone by doing quests or some needs to be done on the s ide

dark copper
#

after ARR, you unlock flying in each zone by achieving certain objectives in that zone

devout lichen
#

and do you go into that certain dungeon during story

dark copper
#

futhermore, before you unlock flying, doing main story quests will increase your mount speed

modest igloo
#

Yes

devout lichen
#

yeah that's what I meant by speedup

#

the mount speed increase you get

dark copper
#

are all unlocked through story

#

there's' a second mount speed upgrade, but that's not neccessary anymore

dark copper
#

it's not a general mount speed increase

devout lichen
#

yeah I know

modest igloo
#

Unlocking flying for a zone is max speed tho

#

So you don’t have to worry about it

#
Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

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

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

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

'Can I make my mount faster?'

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

crisp flax
#

sweet, thank you!

scenic jungle
#

In party finder, what do the different colours mean in the description? I've seen the [Duty Complete] tag in white, blue and yellow. Is there a difference?

strange coral
#

"Completion" means they are looking to complete the duty.
"Complete" means they are only accepting players that have previously completed it.

#

One color is objective, the other is requirement

#

Actually I might be wrong about the colors

#

Yea, the color is determined by the objective from what I'm reading. Loot (yellow), Completion (blue), Practice (green), and grey/white if none are set. Duty Complete as a requirement will take whatever the color already is.

scenic jungle
#

ah, that last part makes sense. thanks!

So, my wife, brother-in-law, and his husband all started the free trial 🌱. We want to play together but we're all not ready to take the plunge into the sub. Could we have one account pay the sub then group up?

wintry chasm
#

You'd want your own separate accounts, as for partying, you could try all being on the free trial and just trying to queue into the same dungeon at the same time or whatever but if you want to actually party up properly just one of you would need to be off the free trial and you can invite the rest to the party

Another question: If a lvl 20 is grouped with a lvl 1 in a party, will the lvl 20 just one shot all of the early quests or does it balance the level so they can play together?

you can ask someone to make a PF

past dome
#

Thank you for all your answers.

rocky zenith
#

no like

#

you can't look at the Party Finder on free trial

#

at least i'd assume so

remote lintel
#

you can ask someone to make a party and then put up a PF

faint flare
#

Its possible, just in a roundabout way

dark copper
#

but you need friends

#

or just use /say in limsa

faint flare
#

Or people from the Synced discords

#

If you're gonna do them synced

Can you remove the profanity filter on chat?

strange coral
#

Yes

#

Character config, chat section

#

Or the gear button on the chat window

#

Anyone know where to find this weeks fashion contest details?

faint flare
#

Wait until Friday

#

Judging doesn't open until then

#

So no solutions until then

I noticed that my gunbreaker teacher has a quest for me even though I am level 80 gunbreaker. its not a blue quest but just wanted to know if its worth doing

faint flare
#

Its a wrap up quest

#

It gives you some materia and title

#

Basically catching up with them since job quests were replaced with role quests

#

Is The Great Hunt EX do-able with 2 80s unsync?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Its been soloed

azure ivy
#

Does it need to be a tank class specifically?

#

I read that it can't be tanked

lone violet
#

am I missing something here

faint flare
#

I think MCH soloed but Tanks make it braindead as fuck

azure ivy
#

Or does it make you play like it's actually from the game lol

faint flare
#

As they can solo stacks

#

Its like Monster hunter

lone violet
#

I noticed that marketbord sells better equipment than what the tomes are getting you

faint flare
#

It runs about doing whatever it wants

lone violet
#

whenever I am item level low I just get the next best thing

azure ivy
#

Ok cool

dark copper
azure ivy
#

Was looking to do it with a MCH and SCH

faint flare
#

Exarchic is only better than Allegory

#

Not Revelation

#

Revelation gear is better

lone violet
#

so revelation gear is better in the long run

#

ok

faint flare
#

Its 520

remote lintel
#

it's better than crafted period

faint flare
#

Vs 510

lone violet
#

ahhh ok

faint flare
#

And you can upgrade it to 530

#

Via savage drops

#

Or upgrade coins from nier in 5.5

lone violet
#

and allegory is just to catch up

remote lintel
#

yes

lone violet
#

so should I just spend my gil on the marketboard instead ?

faint flare
#

If you want to skip the grinding

#

And get into current extremes and savages now

lone violet
#

so what exactly are they selling in the marketboard

#

drops ?

robust crow
#

crafted gear

faint flare
#

Crafted gear

robust crow
#

exarchic gear requires having a fully pentamelded crafted set to craft in HQ

#

your average player isn't going to be able to craft it

#

they won't even come close

#

standard gearing strategy is either buying exarchic OR supplementing with eden 9-12 normal gear, then purchasing your revelation BiS gear first

#

if you are aiming to do savage then you replace the 510 gear with 530 as you clear bosses

#

i510 is pretty much the "standard" ilevel

#

any player can reasonably get a full set of i510 with very little effort

lone violet
#

yeah my ilevl is 391 right now

faint flare
#

Thats

robust crow
#

you're not even in shadowbringers

faint flare
#

Really low

remote lintel
#

thats like stormblood level

faint flare
#

^

#

If youre not in Shadowbringers thats finr

lone violet
#

0_O

#

oh my bad

faint flare
#

At 80 you finish Shadowbringers at 430

lone violet
#

I mean 0491

#

mistyped lol

robust crow
#

491 is very low by today's standards

lone violet
#

sorry about that 😅

robust crow
#

like i was saying, i510 is very very easy to get

remote lintel
#

if you dont want to do savage then 510 is fine

faint flare
#

Thats entry these days

lone violet
#

so what should I do ?

remote lintel
#

if you dont want to do savage then 510 is fine

modest igloo
#

buy 510 gear on the MB

faint flare
#

Eden promise for tokens for 510 gear weekly if you dony want to spend gil

remote lintel
#

if you want to do savage then make sure youre capping revelation tomes weekly and check your bis via the balance and buy the revelation gear that is your bis

robust crow
#

note that, due to substat distribution, the gear from e9-12 may be slightly better than the 510 gear you buy on marketboard

short jasper
#

Bear in mind, for a few jobs, there are exceptions where the crafted gear, pentamelded is actually better than tomestone gear. As well, Bozja has Law's Order gear which needs factored in. This goes a bit beyond basic advice, however. Main stat is usually king, but there are exceptions.

robust crow
#

doesn't seem like anyone has mentioned it yet but

#

if you do end up buying exarchic gear from the marketboard

#

make absolutely sure you're buying HQ

#

NQ gear is trash and not worth any gil

short jasper
#

There is always a better, cheaper, easier alternative.

dark copper
#

can you pentameld revelations gear and edenmorn gear?

robust crow
#

no

faint flare
#

No

#

Only crafted gear

robust crow
#

the only gear you can pentameld is the i510 exarchic

dark copper
#

how does pentamelded exarchic compare to revelation gear

robust crow
#

also at this point in the game pentamelding really is unnecessary

#

revelation gear is almost always better due to higher ilevel

dark copper
remote lintel
#

no

modest igloo
#

thats a different story

remote lintel
#

we're talking about combat

robust crow
#

doh/dol gear is an entirely different setup

#

if you want to be able to craft exarchic/raid food and pots on your own, pentamelding a full set is required

modest igloo
#

i pentamelded yesterday, cost me like 4 mil for 2 classes

robust crow
#

did you pentameld combat gear or crafter gear lol

modest igloo
#

crafter

robust crow
#

sounds about right

hoary kayak
#

huh really thought id pay more, ill do that maybe

modest igloo
#

i did get decently lucky, only two melds that cost me more than 25

hoary kayak
#

which set/guide did you use, the diadem one from the balance?

dark copper
#

which glamour, if any, resembles, for a lack of better word, cowboy boots?

remote lintel
#

anemos boots

strange coral
#

Gaganaskin Boots

remote lintel
#

!iglam anemos boots

zinc orbitBOT
strange coral
#

Same model actually

dark copper
#

is anemos boots dyable

remote lintel
#

yes

lone violet
#

sorry was in a middle of a trial

#

whats a good flow I can follow to better gear myself

robust crow
#

it's not that difficult to understand, pepper

#

do eden 9-12
spend gil buy exarchic
get revelation

#

that's literally it

remote lintel
#

exarchic is the impatient way

robust crow
#

if you intend on savage raiding, put more emphasis on the revelation part

lone violet
#

whats exarchic armor ?

robust crow
#

marketboard armor

lone violet
#

ah ok

dark copper
#

the exarchic set

#

it's the best available crafted armor

#

and buyable armor

lone violet
#

whats does doing eden 9-12 mean ? like getting armor drops ?

dark copper
#

weapon

faint flare
#

Eden promise

remote lintel
#

the floors on eden promise

#

floor 9 to 12

lone violet
#

ah yeah I am doing the eden raids

vernal urchin
#

you get chances to roll on armor tokens to turn in for 510 armor

robust crow
#

take note that the gear from eden 1-8 is worthless now

#

it's just for glam or gc seals or desynth at this point

#

and for catch-up too i guess, if you don't have the ilevel to enter e9-12

silver ruin
#

still partially worthless even in that case, 11-12 require 510

lone violet
#

but can't I do the savage raids with my current armor ?

#

or is a disadvantage

modest igloo
#

i dont think they do, i did it lower the first day

silver ruin
#

you can do 9 at i500

silver ruin
little swift
#

Minimum required ilvl for 9s is 500

modest igloo
#

i did it solo

little swift
#

But its a lot easier to have the padding

silver ruin

#

Pfs are considered premade

modest igloo

no normal

dark copper
#

can you unsync The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)

remote lintel
#

no

silver ruin
#

lmao we're talking savage here, normal is like

little swift
#

Normal minimum is i480

remote lintel
#

ultimate raids cant be unsynced

silver ruin
#

less than i500 requirement

modest igloo
#

fuck he did say savage i missed that

#

mb

little swift
#

Which is what last tier normal dropped

dark copper
#

what is more difficult, the The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate) or the e9-e12s raids

remote lintel
#

ultimate

twilit arch
