or is there a way to do this, trying to enlarge a hotbar for dancer with specific hotkey buttons
but without messing up the bar for the healer
no, there's no way to have multiple keybinds
Would it be possible to use a fantasia item and then not actually go change your appearance, and just leave your character eligible for appearance change?
or will it expire?
Cool, I have one from buying the deluxe upgrade but just wanted to look at something with it rather than using it up but I dont want it to expire or something...
You can just create a new character and save the design without using the Fantasia
They should really change it so you just have to take any gender or race specific armour off rather than stripping completely, so I can see my character with an outfit...
or make a retainer
Is it fine if I throw a more minor question in here?
yep

What jewelry can possibly show up in glamour? It just hit me wearing a non-helmet headpiece that I can actually see my earrings
Yes I know but I was thinking it was something I may have tweaked after loading a preset and then didnt save to the preset again... its probably not tho so I'll just check my appearance data first
@fossil reef all of it unless you're wearing a piece that covers it up
mhm pretty much every slot, but belts, can show up
cant wait for belts to go away
are these the main skills that will light up for procs on dancer?
for accessories, basically need to be wearing something that doesn't cover it up
if only they had done a UI for this lol
ACT, just don't discuss it in game
all the red ones can proc
thank you
I'm in early game is being frugal with your money even worth it or should I just teleport everywhere to optimize the time it takes to finish a quest?
Teleport away
the game throws money at you
if you want to be frugal in terms of teleport, you can use the free teleport tickets
You get more than enough to pay for essentials like gear
sounds good. I was walking back and forth to save money but thought the money I was saving probably is insignificant in the long run
Do you have to unlock a raid to join it ... I mean if my friend unlocked it can I join them on my other character and do it without the need to do the quest etc...
you need to have the raid
no, you have to unlock the raid
max ilv of skysteel tool is 515 or 510 at the current patch?
500
they're done having stages added
is there a setting like the auto-afk timer to make it actually log me off after a certain amount of time?
mainly to lower the amount of AFK time I'm stacking on my character lol
no
ff doesnt boot you for afking
damn that was fast
You only get booted if you're afking in the firmament
^
and the afk kick is also turned on during expac release
kk ty
Can I buy a MSQ skip for an alt & be able to go basically anywhere aside from ShB
Or do I have to also level
yes
wow im making my char but wow this game looks confusing
Also, a bit of a loaded question
so many spells
raid finder is automatic
You unlock skills slowly and introduced to them
you dont unlock it
loaded question away, Rank these in order from shortest to longest for me (ignoring the gunbreaker job quest)
I'd like to do all the short ones first
yes
char config > character
is warrior dps or a tank?
tank
i think i want to make a warrior as a new player is that a good choice?
sure. play whatever you like
what are tomestones of allegory and revalations
and what can i use them for
How do you get to the airship for the Ivalice raids? I've finished Dramatis Personae and need to pick up A City Fallen.
Endgame gearing
You can only earn 450 Revelation per week
go up the stairs at the pier. the nearest aethernet is the market
ooh how good are we talking
But they can be used to buy item level 520 gears
the revelation gear is upgraded to bis gear
i would buy this stuff from house of splendors or?
Thank you.
535 weapon and 530 gears are the max ilvl for Shadowbringers
Omega is going to be long by virtue of queue times, eureka is a time sink, and weeping city does what ot says on the tin. If want to nail them off completion wise would go with coeurl (dungeon), striking (dummies in fringes), truth/ooze, and weeping city (alliance)
The NPC in Eulmore
Wind-up Sasquatch @wet wave
can purchase it from E-una-kotor in quarrymill for 3 gelmorran potsherds, which you can get from doing palace of the dead
Does quick exploration still use only gathering stats, with the same breakpoint?
@left moth ty
yes gathering. breakpoint idk
and i know one of those quests I have is the alexander raid series too so I was going to do that when my brother has the time to unlock the stuff along side me
is pandemonium going to take place of savage, or are savage and pandemonium going to coexist
or do we not know enough
oh nvm i thought it was a different difficulty
will be normal and savage versions
my bad lol
Is there any trick for retainers to bring back more minions? like, some stats manipulation?
Retainers just have a pool of stuff they can possibly bring you, I'm pretty sure
besides meeting the minimum item level/gathering stat, nope
from comments on the subreddit, its possible that the minions were removed from the quick venture pool
to get the cryptlurker weapon I need 10 mowen's tokens for 1000 revelations, and one token from the normal raid, correct?
7 for now
which you then trade in for 1 token
how long has expert dungeon been a thing? Do SQEX plan to change the way it works?
ghul gul in amh araeng or yhal yal in eulmore
expert has existed since like HW
since Heavensward, and no
or if they are, we haven't heard anything
so no
https://i.redd.it/sc13fi62ag941.png @oblique yew
this one?
ty
yes
thanks a lot!
Regarding expert dungeon
I believe the only change is Shadowbringers split some of the level 80 dungeons into lvl 80 roulette
And only the two latest lvl 80 dungeons are in expert roulette
weapon is the first piece of gear I should be replacing, right?
My current weapon is the ilvl 500 resistance weapon from last patch
that's how it worked before, tho
there was two max lvl roulettes. expert and lvl x roulette
I just hate how expert dungeon is only 2 dungeons
Huh, i see
there used to be more but they diverted dungeon resources away to other stuff like Ishgard and Bozja
for right now, ilv500 is fine. unless you're intending to try and hop straight into savage @fickle tree
So I want to start tanking but I'm a bit unsure if I should wait till I finish the msq so I've seen everthing atleast or just yolo it and continue with lvling DRK which I started last time I subbed (pre Shadowbringers. Would you guys say going in blind from around lvl 50 and up is going to be a problem as a tank?
expert has pretty much worked the same as it does in shb in hw/sb
@fickle tree if you mean revelation tome gears, the weapon takes 2 3 weeks of tomes so there’s an argument that it has lower priority
Yes, I wanna jump into savage, I'm trying to catch up with my friends, they're on the third fight of the new tier
@dull ingot start whenever, just look at a video for proper etiquetticy
easiest way to get a new weapon would be buying exarchic gear
I have 1800 tomes right now
It's not likely but, i remmber my friend's first experience was extremely toxic
as a tank anyway
exarchic will be enough ilvl to enter all of the savage floors
so would it be better if I get chest and legs with my 1800 tomes?
and just get the exarchic weapon?
Do check your recommended bis and starter sets
The weapon needs 7 blades from e12n too
@slate arrow thanks! The overall roulette system is nice. I just really don't like Expert's design. Maybe they can make it a bit harder by adding RNG elements into the dungeon.
Can skip that if you clear 10s
I did, bis is the cryptlurker weapon augmented
assuming chest/legs are BiS for your job then yeah i would buy those first
with your revelations
and use exarchic for now as a weapon
since you either need to clear e10s like channy said
or do 7 weeks of e12n
can also get emerald weapon instead
if your friends are willingly to help you with that
wait there’s a job whose bis’ weap is not the e12s one?
well, I checked on the balance, and BLM sps build uses the augmented cryptlurker weapon
you still need the drops from e12s to augment anyways
Don't forget that Relic weapons will be able to reach 535
if you want hard content, do Extreme or Savage
Roulettes have always been meant to be 'easy'
is that coming up next patch?
Yeah
hmm, perhaps I should wait then
have they revealed the stats of the new relic weapons?
It really doesn't matter in the long run
wut? I thought 535 relic isnt coming til 5.555 or sth?
Your BiS will be pointless this time next year
well, it was pointless 3 month ago for me, so...
I'm usually 2-3 months behind raid progression
is there some kind of settings for the shadows? they seem to be running at 10fps for some reason
@slate arrow oh what i want is diversity. Running the same 2 dungeons everyday is extremely boring. I understand I dont have to do it but, the design is really bad
IMO ofc
that's not changing any time soon
Adding something like +Mob levels and also increase exp gain by 30% could make the run more intriguing
its literally been a 2 dungeon roulette since heavensward
maybe add a random boss fight in middle of nowhere

they don't do random elements very well, and you don't need EXP in expert roulette anyways
thats true
if you still have
, thats the fastest way
!faq altlvlguide
ah then do your highest dungeon and duty roulette. i assume its the lvl 46-ish gap?
in that case, do roulettes, run Aurum Vale a couple times
if you dont like AV, can do Darkhold too
Hey everyone, want to ask. Is changing data center is doable ? Because i'm from NA data center want to go to JP data center and is there a good ultimate guide for beginner especially in disciple of the land and disciple of the hand ? Thanks b4.
it is, its gonna cost you $18 for transfer
okayy thank you @whole wasp
first time playing ffxiv, whats the most populated world*?
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
Noted ~
So another dumbass question, do you absolutely have to use the garlean armor for Fool Me Twice?
theres also not really an "ultimate" guide for crafting, theres guides that cover certain things for crafting but not really a beginner guide as far as i know
if the quest objective says "while equipped with _____" you can't complete that step of the quest unless you have it equipped
got it
I see, because i'm recently playing FFXIV and on lvl 50 Paladin. Still figuring out things especially for crafting, everyone said that you must take all of it. I just want to know which one is more efficient to take on early to mid game 🙂
How do I know if someone removed me from their friends’ list?
you dot
dont
they're right, all of them
ok
crafting and gathering is a side thing all by itself. you can start it anytime like reaching max level first is fine
7/8 use stuff from other crafting classes and like, they all share gear besides tools
so its better to level em all at once
i see
well, still have a long way to go. To infinity and beyond lol
i will max my main paladin by quest after that i will try doing other things. Is that okay ?
Whatever floats your boat

Hello, this is a question about the art contest submission. It says that the subject should be a moment in the game but do they mean story moment or a moment as in when you're playing the game? Personal moment of your character or strictly story wise moment?
Where do I get memories of the dying?
probably any moment, but i havent read the rules so maybe get a second opinion
@modest igloo Thanks. I hope more people answer the question as well. I'll wait. If it's personal, it'll be a lot easier.
they can drop from bozja, doing lvl 60 dungeons sync or leveling roulette @steel wedge
in the website for the Valentione event, it says "Certain items available during previous iterations of these events can be obtained via the Seasonal Shop". That seasonal shop is ingame or in mogstation?
there was a textbox about it, but you can get them from HW fates. Red is azys lla, blue is from churning mists/forelands, yellow is corthas highlands
mogstation
actually wait, which memories of dying @steel wedge
and that Seasonal shop, will be available in mogstation forever, or only during the duration of the event?
its just talking about fireworks by the by
Those are pretty much the only items that repeat every seasonal event
previous seasonal event items like clothes and stuff are put on mog station
mb i forgot its a sale not the shop
so clothes and stuff from previous events are in mogstation forever, and fireworks are in the seasonal shop in game during the Valentione event, right?
yes
thxs
heyo im on a starter account and i just hit 50, how do i get the required ilevel (42) to do castle merandium? im currently ilevel 32
I got a second opinion. "Memorable moments in FFXIV" could mean personal or story wise.
I finished the event but I only got the mog hat, but didn't get the Stuffed Kupka Kupp, Do I need to do anything else to get it?
go to the seasonal shop
^
at mih khetto
You get free gear from finishing your level 50 job quest
it costs a small amount of gil
thxs
Anything after that you can buy in a major city
is blm supposed to be on top in aoe trash pulls?
dont buy vendor gear
compared to other dps? yes
Also the main scenario quest will give you gear that's more than enough
That’s assuming they have poetics
so there's no reason to buy gear from vendors or the marketboard
castrum and prae should give poetics
got it. thanks everyone
you have to click the button to accept it being handed over
theres a hand over window
there's another small box
mb
right click fufucha and see if it helps
main city vendors for leveling food
thanks

Hi. Would anyone be kind enough to dm me a link to a raid discord channel for Aether? Thanks in advance
Are the hunting log quests important for progression or are they better saved for bringing up a second job?
each class has its own hunting log
but they're not super important to complete anyway, exp is really only good for like the first 15 levels or so
the grand company hunting log tho, should do
as you'll need it for promotions, plus its free seals which you'll also need for promotions
got it. thanks!
How do I add a mailbox to my estate?
yes
ucob
all are hard, but TEA is lvl 80
tea has a harder dps check
are they harder than savage eden lol
yes
either craft or buy moogle letter box or regal letter box @dark copper
What is the fastest way to make Gil in ffxiv?
crafting
Speaking of ultimates, do they have the the ultimate BGM versions as orchestrions?
Crafting? like selling stuff on market? Doesnt leveling take time though 
yea it does, but other sources such as roulettes give small amounts, maps can be okish money if you get a big enough party
really depends how much gil you want
you can potentially make decent money with ventures
possibly^ but the good stuff is rng
quick ventures are a gamble, can look at the specific hunting/gathering ventures
see if any of those sell decently
Ok. I am greedy enough to make the time investment. Are all crafts profitable or only specific ones?
should be leveling them all at once
its strongly recommend to level them all
What??? 
since it'll save on inventory space, and you'll need materials from other crafters
Sounds like it will take forever 
also if you're lvl 80, selling allegory mats can be decently profitable
Any guilds recuriting?
What are allegory mats?
Do I need to turn in Hunting Log quests somewhere or is it just auto-rewarded when the conditions are met?
stuff like spirit extract/ the stuff that cost 20 each thats used in crafted gear
in the (Other) section for allegory, you can buy crafting materials
the 20 allegory materials are the newest ones and most likely to still sell decently
auto rewarded @hollow violet
Oh. Recipe mats I see.
yea bascally
Alright. I think I have a general idea where to start now. Thanks
@silver ruin @twilit arch
good luck friendo
If you have your FC on one server and invite a character from another server, can the other character have access to the FC chest?
you can't join a free company that's not on the same server as you
Ah
you could level your gatherers and sell the mats in the mb because some lazy person (like me) buy that mats from you..
im trying to meet up with my friend, ive started as an arcanist and hes a thaumaturge how do i like friend him and party up with him?
well you can use player search to find him to add him to your friend's list, its in the social menu
to actually meet up though, you'll need to progress the main scenario quest to lvl 15 where you unlock airship travel and are able to travel between the three major starting cities
since limsa is an island and you can't get off of it until you get to that point in the story
ive been trying but it wont work
he is
because you're in like your own little bubble of sorts
ok so when he's actually done that first quest, he'll be in the "real" world so to speak so just tell him to progress the main scenario quest
Question: My wife's birthday is tomorrow and I wanna get her shadow bringers expansion. She only has the standard version right now and we just started playing. Is there any reason to upgrade now or should she wait until she needs to progress the story?
Only reason to really put in the shadowbringers code is if she wants to change to hrothgar or viera, otherwise can wait until she hits lvl cap for starter edition @past dome
theres no reason not to just get shadowbringers
what does the starting quest mean? the tutorial?
basically "close to home" is the first initial quest
the very first quest puts you in a solo instance
once you've done that, you're put into the full game
but while you're still on that quest, you're in your own little instance
Is there any sort of reward for finishing all 5 crystalline mean questlines/deliveries?
If I'm playing free trial (steam version) right now, is there anything special I need to do when updating to standard or Shadowbringers in a few weeks or months?
thank you i really appreciate your help
they give yellow scrips, a hefty chunk of exp, and there is a 'wrap up quest' at 80 that's pretty cute and gives achhievement/title @tacit jungle
just make sure you're buying from steam
can you sprint?
@twilit arch title for finishing all 5 delivery chains to 80?
yes, the lvl 80 wrap up quest i mentioned gives the title "The Multifaceted"
neat 🙂
sprint is on your hotbar by default
I have wvr/arm/gsm/ltw all at 73-74 so I might as well cap off the 3 I dont have done
Thanks! Do you know if buying the expansion will give a month of game time?
what do you mean? im on playstation and i dont see it
Not sure how different the PS UI is - but sprint is the far right, = sign for me
(the one showing a 48 second cooldown)
i dont see that
can you screenshot your hotbar
on controller it looks diferent
its still on controller hotbars by default
press right bumper to cycle hotbars
I cycled to all of them still no sprint
then go to actions and traits > general
So I feel like a dumbass asks but where's the field generators to kill the vanguards in the second wave on Escape from Castrum Centri? I've checked the entire area and I still can't find it

its still not letting me find him

are you on the same world and city
not the same city but the same world and server
are you trying to use player search
yes
are either of you in an instanced area
Can anyone suggest a good stat distribution for MCH and DRK's ShB relic?
im in the arcanist city and hes in the thaumaturge city
were both in crystal balmung
im in the arcanist city and hes in the thaumaturge city
were both in crystal balmung
hm
thats not the exact location but i dont think either of you are in the inn anyway
you should be able to find him if he's out of the starting instance
maybe player search just being shitty
how do i fix it?
he is online right
yes
just do the story and meet up
i need to be lvl 15 right?
msq lvl 15

hey kill could we talk in casual vc 1 i had some more questions if your able
not really a fan of voice chat
oh ok
can just ask em here
I’ve done 3 HW fates so far and found nothing
which quest is it called?
It doesn’t say yet just get memories of dying
you need to have the quest active
I got a message while doing other things that I now qualified for my next job quest (thaumaturge). I went to the guild but no one there has a quest for me. Where should I be looking?
In want of a memory
For Want of a Memory
Heya, can I get confirmation wheter the lvl 70 fate farm is one time only or not please ?
if you look at the top left of your screen. there should be a ! just below your msq tracker. click that and it tells you where your next job quest is
Okidokey, thanks, and then it just skips for the other weapons ?
hmmm.. you've gone into bozja right?
thank you
ye don't have to repeat that step at all for later relics
The southern frunt?
yes
I’m rank 3 I believe
you do have the quest active, yes?
But I was told I could get them in HW fates
wtf is this sht
the eruka level 3 quest says go to area
i go there
nothing happens
I did but didn’t see any yet
can you screenshot your inventory
did you look for a sparkly thing on the ground, should be called "Confluence" @leaden ginkgo
yeah, we're just running through all the things to make sure you havent missed something
i did the whole quest yesterday night
the lvl 3 quest isn't in a tunnel. its in a house
"Early Natural History Society Observatory" is the PoI where the lvl 3 confluence is
Cool 😎
Connecting the data center
Waiting in Q
where is the house
where can i find the NPCs in Ul dah that can sell me ilvl 50 armour and accessories
literally where the red pin is @leaden ginkgo
@modest igloo
ok, lemee see the whole screen
So I'm putting a macro for my cover for reasons and I was wondering. Is there a way to have it set so the macro says the name of the person I've covered?
That is the whole screen
ok you have the quest up, thats good, and let me see the rest of the inventory
Any?
yep
Do I have to be level synced? I was for the others too but wondering if I have to be 80 for them to show up
syncing or not is irrelevant, what matters is if you get gold on the fate
cant do a fate if you arent synced
literally wont let you attack the mobs otherwise
if you're too high
wesk alber on YT
Just in case you're not aware, you can expand the inventory to show all 4 pages at once in the options menu
Ah that might be the the issue I just got a red memory
nice!
Is it worth getting an apartment? I don't have much gil but I don't have much to spend it on for now I think.
its up to you
Could anyone come help me if they are not busy?
So, should I learn as many classes as possible or just focus on one?
depends on what you wanna do
Would suggest focus on one then move on but completely up to you
I say get a class in each group after you’re comfortable with your first one
Tbf I got no clue. I'm just gonna play the game and wander aimlessly from quest to quest probrobly.
its fine to focus on one class if that's easier for you
there's no pressure to get more than one job
but if you wanna try out other classes, you're also free to do that as well
tbf im like 1,200 hours into this game and i just learned about astro today
Best way to get demi mog demimateria? It's expensive af on the mb
It's a rare mat right
shouldn't be too rare, assuming you're same lvl desynth or higher than the gear
What lvl desynth should I have
So I need to get 20 of each memory?
75 for the weapons/100 for the necklaces
yep
yes, you do
75 memories?
no, that was another convo
does anyone have a samurai BiS they can share
!faq balance
!faq balance
lol
jinx
Could you help me get the memories quickly?
nope, im doing other stuff rn
Kk no worries
you get a set of i90 gear from your level 50 job quest
Should be a box in your inventory
Then you haven't done the quest lol
Oh yeah that's the SAM 50 set
That should give you a full set of i115 gear

ok so that's going to make things a bit more painful.
you should have msq roulette unlocked at the very least
i would recommend doing that since that should net you a couple of hundred poetics and use that to buy accessories
from auriana in mor dhona
go buy your ironworks acce in one of the main cities
since i guess, you skipped msq and you unlocked the sundrys representatitve on one of the cities
or can buy it from the splendor vendors in the 3 main cities, should be near the main aetherytes
yes
ironwork accessories, buy the slaying ones
belt first
then doesn't really matter what other accessory you buy
since they are all the same priority
yes, striking is going to be the armour pieces but for now i would prioritize the accessories
since nameless gear you got is fine for now
white gear you can either vendor or desynth if you've got crafters level
pink/green/blue gear you can turn in to grand company for grand company seals assuming you're sergeant second class or higher
yea just vendor, you can keep it for alt jobs if you wanna
is there an emote that says "pets the shit outta"
but that's up to you since its probably low lvl gear and those dont give much seals anyway
lol
most likely someone's custom emote
sounds like a custom emote yup
as in custom text with a preexisting animation
should I use shift+wasd for anything, or would that mess me up a bunch?
for movement
Personally I would avoid hotkeys that are the same as your movement keys
that might make movement uncomfortable
ok, good to know
you might accidentally use a skill instead of moving
If you have to move and cast a skill you'll stop moving if you were holding down that direction I believe
If you dont accept or withdraw before going into the instance then none
if you miss 3 times, you get locked out from queueing for 30minutes
Actually question about that, when does the penalty period time out, like if I was on 2 how long would it take to skip another one without penalty?
Wouldnt do it obviously just curious
it resets daily
So I assume if you kepted doing it after the 30min timeout the punishment gets worse?
afaik its just another 30minute lock out
successfully completely another duty also completely clears all previous penalties
Ah that's interesting to know ty
Whats the most important substat sthat I should use for materia?
Depends on class
gunbreaker
crit>dh=det
sks to comfort
2.42 or 2.4 the recommended alignments for gnb
is ninja ping dependent?
How do I change my battle chocobo’s stance? (Focusing on their respective role more)
Press the button on your companion UI
You can drag or assign those buttons to your hotbar
That said the norm is just let them free stance

is there a macro line to turn emote log message on/off?
its /emotelog
ouo oh hey channy, ty! ❤️
😏 can ask me questions here or in the other discord
is there a way to use "Active Help" icon as micon? I tried /micon "Active Help" general but no dice :c
Is there a way to dye the proto ultima mesh like augmenting it or can it not be dyed
is bozja the most efficient way to level from 71-80?
@fallen niche you cant
DPS wise I think so, Tank and healers I think Dgs are still faster
as far as i know there isn't a way to micon general actions
for the first area yes @leaden ginkgo
I think you might use Anemos crystals for something but I can't remember
but they drop the same
correct?
if i transfer world but on the same dc do I need to re-add friends? 
no
ah kk thanks

Pretty new to ff14, do I just msq to max level? Going healer role
you can for the most part
doing these quests also unlocks neat stuff
you can ignore these quests for the most part since they usually just give a tiny amount of xp and gil as the reward
Similar mounts like Bomb Palanquin in FFXIV?
I like how soothing, calm and cute they are.
Thank you @vernal urchin
👍
@leaden ginkgo theres a lot of "cute" mounts
you can dig some icelight seeds and grow in your apartment/FC room/house
50 shards per plot per day, or 100 if you use Shroud tier 3 soil
or if you have access to Firmament, you can gather stuffs to level up your gatherer, and use the cannon to shoot down Sprite for shards/crystals/clusters
another way is doing the first few quests of crafter in ARR. They give a bunch of shards
Are the relic weapons from ARR worth grinding?
it is painful long, the ARR one
how do people who use legacy controls look around while moving/being mounted? you char just turns around non stop
Compared to the Heavensward one how bad?
a lot worse
Autorun you can look around
ARR is arguably the worst of the relics
Damn I thought the HW one was a nightmare
Anima is largely a poetic grind
eureka a general mob/item grind
and shb's a mix of fates/dungeon grind
Left click and drag turns camera but not you. Right click steers
thanks but what cannon?
ARR requires you to either have gil or crafters leveled, to deal with leves and fate spawns, and rng dungeon drops
Aether cannon @wet cradle in diadem
You shoot sprites and get random clusters/crystals
never saw that O.o
while the drop rates are significantly better than release, its still lot more tedious than the other relics imo

How does one get gil capp fast without use of crafting
Really need at least 600mil ....I'm only at 120mil or close to
Ty
Do whatever you did to get 120 mil
Are there farm guides for ARR relic weapon crafting parts? I'm a free trial player, so I can't really buy the weapons for this stage of the quest https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Relic_Weapons/Quest#Part_2:_Class_Weapon
That’s more than what hard core 24/7 crafters make
I can see the chest coordinates on gamerescape, but feels like I'll have to otherwise point at dungeon chest locations myself.
It took me a long time to get to 120 ... I should probably start doing cluster farming in bozjan or bunny fates get gil
Thanks
For the upcoming Moogle Treasure Trove event, are there any items aside from the earrings that you can't get anywhere else?
No
Good, then I won't have to stress about it. Thanks!
Some things like the nightmare whistle are heavy rng so you might consider grabbing that as well
Oh. Does anyone have a link for that?
and yeah nightmare is a pos, if they're offering that that's a good one to grab
Luckily I already got that, so I'm good!
Related to that upcoming event, when is 5.5 launch?
Halfway through April I believe
Thanks!
april 13th, to be specific
Can you get memories for your relic even if you're not the class you're doing the relic for?
Badass, that means I can sprite farm tons of memories for my various relics
Is there a orchestrion roll for the new Ishgard restoration theme?
Is it normal to net lose money when leveling a crafting job btw? 
Sounds actual amazing
Depends on how you level, but if you buy materials, yes
If you gather all materials yourself, no
Oh. I see.
only now I'm learning of treasure trove
wonder if it's within realistic expectation to be able to get all those mounts
depends what you spam and how much time you spend spamming
you dont get tomes for unsyncing
blue mages (fully skilled/mostly skilled) + AV spam are the way to do it
to get the blue justice title you can do the raids unsynced now?
It's definitely possible, but you'll have to dedicate some time to it
guess from the 15th until april i'll be a full time XIV player then
You have about a month, so should be plenty of time
okay lemme make maths to prepare for it lel
wanderer's palace sounds fast enough
and I need the bloody weapon parts from there anyways
wanderer's palace is a trap because bots haunt there

I kinda want my younger brother to play, and my account have both ps4 and PC license, can i play on my pc while he's playing on the ps4 at the same time?
no
seems like there's no mounts exclusive to this event, it's just an easier way to get them
hmm
hell yeah I'm gonna get burnout for this
assuming everything's available for free trialers, a lot of stuff I couldn't get otherwise too
Is using Arm's Length on ONE enemy/boss - when there are no other enemies around - a bad idea?
^I know about using it in groups to be effective, just wondering if it will have any difference with single enemies/bosses, too.
@river summit moogle trove events don't have exclusive mounts afaik
Thanks, Vegeta. God, I want to see more DB Super..
yeah it's what I'm gathering
then it's just a matter of things I can get while limited to HW
Blissful Kamuy is an SB mount for instance
do you need any dlc or sub to become a samurai at level 50?
oh and uh, from different characters from different data center
1 account can't be logged on from 2 places at the same time
You need the next expansion which you can only get by buying the latest expansion:shadowbringers
SB has so much expensive glam and stuff it is surreal.
It's harder to unsync farm sb content atm
O3 is the current tank farm instance of choice but if mean dogs in general it depends on if theres anything special (65% byakko) or if something just dies faster ( seiryu)
Will we be getting new crafted gear in 5.5? Stuff that replaces exarchic crafted gear
No
It'll be augmented
but there will be augmented exarchic
you dont craft those but exchange exarchic for tokens to upgrade
How do u augment these gears? Sorry, just started near the end of 5.3 so not really sure how they work
ah
So u replace current exarchic gear + some other currency to get augment exarchic?
Like how u augment crystarium/cryptlurker gear
The tokens are obtaines with tomes (not the weekly capped ones)
Oh, so with allegory? Do we know how much we need for each augment?
The full process is turning in current 510 gear for one token (hq for hq) and then get rain (5 for body, 3 for head/hand/feet, 2 for accessories)
Or whatever the tome token will be named
Of it stays the same formula 100 tomes each rain
but you should start getting cryptlurker gears
since augmented exarchic will be the same strength as those
At 5.5 will be able to augment 520 tome pretty easy yeah (hunt nuts and alliance coins)
I'm mostly asking from a crafter's PoV, cause I'm saving up money by crafting to get a mansion in ishgard if I can, so was just wondering if i should be prepared to craft better gear or something
But from what I understand, looks like there will still be a market for the gear for people to buy as it'll still be relevant while not being BiS, thanks.
Since ishgard housing ward is post 6.0 will need new equipmemt anyways both combat and craft/gather
510 combat will still be useful for leveling new msq and as glam
I see, I just mostly want enough gil to be prepared to get ishgard housing when it launches, there should be enough gil to be made before then
But the profit margin is going to be meh after the initial 5.5 augmentation rush
There has been alot of bots from what i've noticed, yet SE hasn't done anything about it....
SE bans bots in waves
There's a few bots on our server that has apparently been around for a few months now according to people I've been talking to
Botting is one of those topics its hard to tell if se cares about because of the cost of human gm review compared to the craptacular anticheat used for ban waves
It just feels like they don't care enough to do something about it, as it's pretty apparent that they're bots since they're only 24/7 and updates prices every few mins, but this isn't the place to discuss those things so I'll just leave it at that.
STF is about as transparent on how they operate as a cardboard box with a picture of a window on it
(special task force)
IS there a way to be able to use gil on alts while playing another char? Its not shared in the ui?
Each character is independent unless can do an arrangement like a fc chest or trusted person to transfer something to the alt (assuming both are on same datacenter)
So I cant mail to myself from alts+
where do i look for a free company? i forgot lol

No since the friend yourself bug/feature was fixed a ways back
Is there a "book vendor" for Bahamut raids where I can try on the outfits?
Community Finder, shout in limsa
hey , is it possible to combine or autocast a 2 part crafting macro ?
there was also a website online i used for last time but iforgot what it was lol
You could, with a friend's help, set up a shell FC and pass stuff via the FC chest.
Not without the Xlauncher plugin.
ah well rip console players , so i just do the 2nd part manually as soon as part 1 finishes ?
Yep
hm kk thanks
Make sure to account for animation delay not to overwrite actions by accident

How reasonable is it for the DR step of the relic weapon to get nerfed before the next expansion?
Really want to finish four relics but already tired of it after finishing two
unlikely, since it's not like you have to do it all at once
Unfortunately I don't have time for it during the week, so I can only do it on the weekend
If theres a dr spam nerf it'll probably be in 5.57
how do you unlock bozja?
(basically 2 months before 6.0)
ive done ivalice but i dont see bozja incident
Complete ivalice alliance raids, then npc in kugane. If that doesnt work then might not have done shadowbringers title drop quest
Did you finish every last quest in the chain?
Also, do squadron chemistries affect command missions in any way?
squadron chemistry?
Bonuses (?) for certain gc squad setups (like playing with certain races or classes)
Not sure if chemistry affects command missions to any significant degree
hmm
what is the best and fastest way to level a class from level 1?
if it's your first class? msq
otherwise? spam potd and fates until level 15, and then spam dungeons and roulettes and fates in between
solo potd? and what is roulettes?
Roulette is basically a daily random dungeon with increased rewards
thanks
what can i do w the excess gear i have in my inventory from alliance raids, etc
turn in it to your grand company
ah ok ty
if gridania*
Is it possible for a high level blacksmith and weaponsmith, to craft end game gear such as eden armors/cryptlurkers?
im maelstorm
eden/cryptlurkers*
nope
you can only craft exarchic
cryptlurkers you buy that using revelations
Alright, thanks.
and eden is farmed in savage raids
If are on the fence about savage nothing wrong with crafted+bozja as a starting set for tome gear. It'll get you to 6.0 either way
Is it possible for a Warrior to one shot Karlabos in Pyros with this setup? - : Holmgang, Inner Release, Bloodbath, Catastrophe L - and, of course, full exarchic gear with materias and full offensive the logos.
Someone just did it
Do endgame bosses have modifiers or stats that make them take more of a specific type of damage?
no
No difference between ranged magic and physical other than their name?
I mean there's a couple exceptions here and there like leviathan head/tail in arr but that's not really a mechanic in ff14
Outside special stuff like bozja that is not a thing
Yeahh there's a few things in bozja that have slight weaknesses but it's not really common at all
So no specific need to level a magic and physical job for endgame if I don't feel like it then?
nah
Yeah
Elemental modifiers were removed an expansion ago. Theres no difference between physical/magic, and slashing/blunt (outsize bozja southern front content) either
But I'd encourage you to at least try every role
Ok so I did this with BLM, did I get anything or?
Alright, that's good to hear
(tank, caster, healer, melee, ranged)
, BLU
Take your time, levelling amd msq roulette will make for excellent passive levelling on alt jobs
I didn't do any ShB content on my ninja to get it to 80 lol
No its just a rough estimate if are capable of dpsing that content. Not a very good indicator either compared to faust (the alex door boss)
The dungeon roulette is actually super fun while leveling paladin
If doing the dummies, no. Thats why they are useless at telling if can do old savage simce will easily meet dps check but that's mot teaching key mechanics will still need to know
oh thanks
(can probably burn a4s unsynced no problem, will want to know more for a8s and 12s, especially the aoe status efx in 12)
Probably a dumb question to ask but...
Is there a macro command that changes the HUD when in a dungeon? Since I have different rotations for different levels I might end up with, I hate having a cluttered HUD with skills I wont be able to use. And using a macro to change HUD would certainly help
I know there's a command to copy the contents of a hotbar to another. You might be able to use that.
You'd just have to make a few template hotbars on bars that you don't use
For example on the hotbars for non-job classes (lancer etc have their own bars)

I see. Since I play BLM I noticed that there's quite some rotation changes every 10 levels and since I got to 70 it started to get cluttered with skills I cant use when I queue for MSQ dungeon or leveling dungeons etc
For example, if you create a macro with "/hotbar copy LNC 1 current 1", it'll copy the contents of the first lancer hotbar to your current hotbar
So if you fill the lancer hotbar with your level 50 rotation, it'll copy that
Interesting... gotta do that
Can i queue in duty roulette with a freind in a group?
Guys, i'm a new player whos at the beginning of stormblood, I'm playing on a preferred world and reached lv70 with my 1st job, should I switch jobs to make benefit of the 100% exp or should I keep on the 1st job until 80?
If you want to be efficient, you'll switch job. But leveling is easy anyway so do what is most fun
And yes you can queue for a roulette with friends
How can you change fast and easy logo grams while in fight with a controller?
Feels impossible to do, unless I do it with the mouse but takes time to get and swap between them. I can activate with R2+R3 but no idea how to switch to another logogram as active.
Other than virtual mouse not sure. Are you talking pyros content since should also have l2+l3
if im writing a macro for a skill with a 1 and 2 version , do i use numerals or capital is ? like for waste not 2 is it 2 or II
Can drag and drop (and place in quote marks) or use autotranslate and it should do the same thing (waste not is two i's)
Pyros, yes, but I got only one unless I did it wrong.
Feels like you can get 2 but I think only in Hydatos I had tht.
that
alright thank you
But then again, I could craft two things in Pyros, too.
Maybe I did it wrong and I can go back and craft another one lol
To get 2 need to load the wheel differently. Treat them as 2 seperate spaces for actions with the chance of failure increasing with more complex dual actions
If dont see something like that then need to progress in pyros
Yeah, you're right, I ignored it and forgot about it when crafter them
crafted them
huge dum dum mode
Ty, now I can try to one shot Karlabos, too, properly.
I wonder if living dead is the only way as DRK to do that.
Want to try BN and other mitigations but I doubt they gonna keep me alive/protect me from the 999k dmg
So I finally finished the base game story, and got my character to level 52, close to 53 as a Summoner. I've been told by my friends that I should try out other classes, as I'm at a point where I can do so. So I know that Summoner is a magic DPS class, and Scholar is a healer class, so I got those down. So I was wondering what other classes should I take now and level alongside my main class, should I try Machinist?
If dont care about the detour from msq anything not locked to expansion is on the table. Mch will take you back to lv30 so have to keep that in mind if want to try heavensward msq with it
Otherwise would suggest continuing msq unless smn or sch fun drops off a cliff
Since that takes so long to get to current
I mean, I like playing as a Summoner, so I have no problems with it. However, I've been told that just focusing on it would be a waste of exp.
Not necessarily, I think they mean the quest Exp will be so little it won't really individually move the needle much, which is true. But it adds up over time
I do recommend trying other things out because FFXIV's class system in and of itself is so friendly to experimenting. And there will come a day when you're out of exp for your main class (currently 80) so by then you want to have another class at least around 50 so you can do several of the roulettes for exp without waste.
Aha
So I should at least give Machinist a shot.
I want to at least try one of each class
If that makes sense
I think so, it's a fun one. That's currently tied for my favorite non-tank class
But don't wait on MSQ to level it is what I'd say. Just do what you feel for that day.
Right, will do. Thanks for the advice fam.
Eventually as you start doing other stuff, you might have multiple classes going. Awhile back it wasn't unusual for me to log in, do 80 Roulettes for the current expansion tomestones, then do Leveling/50's roulettes with my classes that were around the 50's/60's, then doing Relic FATE's with my 70's classes just to get some exp. So you get to a point you've got a bunch of classes at differnet points.

anyone got any idea why my 3. combo attack (Aeolian Edge) does not work anymore? it did work fine once initially obtained it at lvl 26 but now its broken and wont work anymore ..
Can anyone explain to me how gear works when synced? Does it lose all of its value or some of it?
Did you get synced down in a dungeon
Hey all just started ff14 on Twintania, been sticking to MSQ and class quests, currently 33 Arcanist as i think i need to do some more MSQ quests to unlock the quest to become a Summoner, my question is about player guilds, how do you join one? It seems the game has no social channels for discussion outside of cities, which are mainly flooded channels with gold sellers lol
When you're synced, you're synced to the highest ilvl of that time. All your stats go down to a certain point and materia is turned off
No i can't use it anymore at all regardless where im at or what position i have to the mob
Take screenshot
Are you synced in a fate
no sir, its been an issue for a while now, like an entire level id say
What content in the game does not mess with your stats?
Take screenshot
Unsynced content and current content that has no sync yet
Tysm!
mind screenshotting your hotbars?
upgrading to ninja AFAIK would have messed around with your bars so potentially you could've missed something there
Even if you park rogue or ninja skill in shared hotbar
They will still works
As long as you are rogue or ninja
also im not yet 30, still lvl 27 rogue, ill try to screenshot during combat to relay the issue
Well what's the error that appears when pressing it
Is there any list of what items you can transfer between characters ie. I got a gear on C-A and want to move it to C-B or it’s just limited to money and food
oh okay it has to be not “market prohibited”
there is no error, after using 2. comboattack it should become active but it doesn't anymore, it just won't ever let me use it but like i said, when i initially received it at lvl 26 it was working just fine for like a level or so
Just to eliminate all external factor
Teleport to Summerford Farm
Walk south, and hit the striking dummy there
i fixed it, i deleted the icon from the bar and redragged it onto from the skillbook
i assume because i did synced dungeons it deactivated it and never re-enabled it after 😦
Question, I was reading some guides and it seems like people tend to have a whole different bis set for Ultimates (Low level ilvl) aside from their savage gear which is basically the highest level savage gears (ilevel 510-530)
is this plausible? I wanna make sure im reading things right. Seems like people tend to go for the ilvls closer to the sync level for synced ults?
Yes because for ultimates you want as much stats as you can get
For lv70s it doesn't matter too much
As synced 80 gear will have both stats capped when synced
weird spot can't seem to locate again or remember anything about but I have a really weird mental picture of it
anyone recognize this I know there's MIN somewhat in the cliffside too
78? 80? gathering location
I feel like it isn't near an aetheryte and terrain is mountain/sand
But mainly for TEA, id you use current BIS, one of your substats wont be capped when synced down
So melded gear will have more stats
how does Bacon broth work? does it give you +20 desynth while you have it on OR does it make each desynth you do be a +20 increase permanently?
Which eu world is most populated ?
Llauqs, it ups your skill while you have it in terms of the calculation on what materials you get, AND it increases the rate at which you get skill ups.
