apparently they did a 40% off sale last year around this time.
there are some other ways to get a discount but those are against tos 
Along with all other gemstone items
maybe I'll wait for that.
There has been a sale decently recently and i thing newegg or something just had one
I just want to make sure this is the right product. Complete Edition and all.
Comes with 30 days sub time?
woot
I just want to complete the shadowless casting set 
Me and another person were able to 2-man the first coil of bahamut super easily, how much more difficult would the second (and presumably third) coil be?
not that much honestly
id maybe geta 3rd person so its faster but all of em can be done with 2 people at 80
Cool, ty!
Nier automata raid, Can i go blind as a cleric or do i waste everyone time?
Anything without extreme, savage, ultimate, minsitral ballad or binding coils in the name is doable blind
you wont waste anyones time going in blind if u dont want spoilers
Dont touch the bad and follow the group as usual
you might add an extra 60 seconds onto their total clear time but if anyone complains about that they are an asshole
Needa equip your crystal
Equip your soul stone
how do i do that
Below your rings
thanks, glad to hear that
Last slot on the right
save your gear set
Save your gear sets
yall talking to me?

refresh button
oh, i found it
Allows for easy job swapping
And so you dont forget the soul stone
And lose all your kit

@faint flare make sense, thank you
What's the limit on the free trial?
grand company seals mostly come from fates right? I already did the hunting log that I could

All the way until level 60
You can continue to play after 60, you're just capped out at 60
I notice some quests have been labelled as unavailable because I don't own Shadowbringers. Once I purchase, will those be immediately available or do I have to hit 60 before I can take them?
depends on the quest
i assume you mean the class change quests so you need to be either lvl 50 or 60 for those
Those are for stormblood and Shadowbringers jobs
ahhh okay ty
gear can end up like this
thats from eureka right?
Yes
yeah though his weapon is emerald
just showing for bunny what to expect later potentially
Does infusing with mnemes still work on a Hydatos Weapon?
Just statrted playing again for the first time since vanilla essentially(i think i played heavensward for like a week) i have no idea what im doing, nothing in my quest log. no idea what to do or where to go. i would like to change my class but i think astrologian is locked at first or something i was reading. anyone have any tips/advice
There should be an element in your HUD showing what MSQ quest you last left off
hmm okay, it was just showeing "???"s so i didnt think i had it ready to do
sounds good, ty guys
It says that to avoid spoiler names
cool
lets hope i can remember how to monk until i can start the new class, im sure its ridiculously different
Not really
awesome
So I can't get to the third expansion 👀
The removal/change of greased lightning made it easiee
yeah i saw that its passive now
An npc in Mor dhonas field somewhere should take you to Scryrus trench to go back
Thank god I'll check now
Its literally same way you got there the first time
Hmm can't find it 😂
Its over where the shoreline is, somewhere along there
Are p on official ffziv reddit that have _ in names or something like Lady_VG staff or...?
Offical staff have SqEN in their name or something
Do they put like trademark on their replies or something
No, you can just tell by their names that they're related to square
See #dev-tracker for example
Ah ok I will
is that dark knight?
Tanks in general
the class is dark knight
All tanks can use that
i really wanna try dark knight so badly
dark knight weapon but its armour for all tanks
they look fun
But yes the job is drk
there's very few armour sets tied to a job
drk= dark knight?
pisses me off that welkin hat is one
Yes
yeah
there's very few armour sets tied to a job
wait explain like im 5 pls
Job gear
job like warrior?
Majority of gear is shared within a role
most gear is "of fending" or "of healing" or whatever role it is
ohhhhh all the tank classes share most armor except weapons am I right?
There's some job specific gear only that gear can wear
yes
Yes
o.
most gear is tied to a role so e.g. heavy armour looking sets are tied to tanks, though there's a few gear sets which are tied to a very specific job
You can see who can equip it in the tooltip
Specifically artifact gear afaik
can u dye ur armor in this game like guildwars 2/
Yes
depends
If its dyeable yes
Not all armor but there is a dye system
if its dyeable it has a circle in the corner of the icon
if you see a dot (forgot where on it) on a icon for the gear means its dyeable
most of the job specific armour sets are tied to the job quest lines, though shadowbringers they were given after a certain point in main story for that one
LOL New Egg is telling me it takes 1 to 2 business days to "process" purchase of a digital game key.
wtf
To make sure cards are real and all
That's complete bullshit.
And get a code from SE
WAIT
I've purchased keys from Steam, GMG and G2A and they've always been instant.
That's why it's better to go straight through SE or Steam.
I don't buy the "make sure cards are real" nonsense.
what exansion am I on? Im level 19 just on a trial what expansions am I missing yet
youre on ARR
free trial comes with up to heavensward expansion
OH
ARR > HW > SB > ShB in order
Well if your card ends up being fake or charged back you're basically royaly fucked
so i need to buy SB/SHB yeah?
if youre on trial you need to buy the base game and shadowbringers
when you want to start doing the content yes
which is like 40 something?
You need either Starter edition + Shadowbringers
Or complete edition
For everything
o
Just Shadowbringers on its own does nothing
DO NOT BUY stormblood
Cause you can't use dlc for a game you dont own
I don't think that was the topic. G2A aside, GMG and Steam can all give keys instantly.
There is no reason New Egg needs 2 days to process a digital key.
because shadowbringers should include stormblood
Is there anything I should be doing while waiting for instance queues as a new player? (level 22) I've been just running across the map to tag new aether points but I suspect the story will take me to most of them anyway
fates, crafting
Getting aetherytes are rule 1 of a new zone
as mr "can i not do shadowbringers" aboved showed
what benefit do fates give? I was assuming any gear or xp tey provide would be quickly irrelevant as I level up so quickly at this stage
Xp
exp
FATEs are basically a quick way to get a little bit of XP as well as GC seals if you're waiting for a dungeon queue.
And some gil.
Gotcha. And for crafting - I'm super interested in it but haven't looked into it much yet - don't you have to change jobs for gathering crafting? And doesn't that mess up your queue?
it doenst mess up your queue
you switch to a crafting class and when the queue pops you switch back
You have like 45 to swap back
@faint flare yo should buying shb anywhere give you access to sb, making sure for bunny with that keys site they're on
Yes
thanks all. Any good guides on crafting I can read through for the time being? I enjoy it a lot in other MMO's but haven't even begun to look into it here
shadowbringers comes with sb
Stormblood is rolled in by default
making sure i'm not giving them wrong info
yeah i was wondering since its a weird keys site that is still selling stormblood
and told them starter edition
I found a store selling Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning about a month ago. Those servers have been shut down for years 🙂
lol
god i remember my friend making me watch him play that for 4 hours on free trial as i dozed off
Will going afk mess up DF queue? eg do I need to wiggle my mouse once in a while?
No
No
But you can miss your queue
no you will just automatically afk out of the queue
You won't afk out of the queue
after 50 seconds
If you miss the pop
There's no timer on it aside from the queue popping.
Thanks.
Thats just failing to ready up
does square enix have a number I can call? after going through an internet outage and a dram error on my pc I was finally able to get through all that just to be met with a suspended account for a reason I can't even fathom.
If your account got suspended, you should have gotten an email saying why.
is it recommended to do extreme trials unsynched?
Yes
Yeah
thanks <3
Unsync whenever possible
to do that i just enable undersized party right?
lemme rephrase
not solo it by myself
like i dont have a group
i just wanna queue solo i mean
You dont Matchmake unsynced
Hello, I have a question about the mog station shop, are the items you can buy on it changed regularly?
no
New things are added fairly regularly.
oh ok, there's a couple things I want to get, but would rather wait a bit before paying
I was worried they might dissapear in a few days
haha
Wait long enough and they might go on sale.
hey friends, started yesterday, free trial, lancer, what job would you recommend i get first? 🤔
I don't recommend New Egg chat support. Online chat said 1-2 business days for a digital code. I called and they said "yeah that's crazy, it's 3 hours at most".
Lancer is a fine job.
You already picked a job, lancer goes to dragoon
I mean stuff like carpenter or whatever, sorry, not 100% familiar with the terms yet
Those are professions.
Deep
if youre going to level crafters then you level all of them together
This isn't WoW. You can be all professions and all combat classes on a single character.
and which one would you recommend to a newer player? based on fun, uhhh, perks or something, or just personal opinion? 🤔
If you're planning to level crafters/gatherers, you do them all at the same time.
They're all the same, just makr different stuff
They all feed into each other.
And gather different things
if youre going to level crafters then you level all of them together
aigh, thanks lads
I don't remember if I asked this here before, but if I use accidently use Fantasia and don't wanna change. Can it like expire if I don't use re edit in time or its gonna stay there until I decide to switch
It doesn't expire
Ih good
I need assistance please someone I dont know what I'm doing ;-;
Okay
just ask the question
We can't help you without knowing what the problem is.
Is there a way to see what abilities are unique to a particular job?
Press P
Anything not under Role skills
then go to actions
Are unique
for a combat job its basically all of them
In action and traits
ahh okay ty
Ffxiv lodestone has a class by class overview
For more in-depth class skills, Wesk Alber has very good video guides
ty
https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1DJPJ
going for max yield, don't care about hq
good?
Is Bard the closest thing to a Ranger or Archer archetype in other games?
bard literally upgrades from archer

Bard literally starts from archer
My first time trying to install the game actually and I got the launcher from steam and now it just wont install certain patches
did you disable vpns
So, it's fair to say that when a job is an "upgrade" from another job, there are many similarities between them?
an archer is a baby bard
More or less, it keeps its class stuff
it just adds more skills
When a job is an upgrade from a class, it's literally the same class, but with more stuff.
and gimmicks
Ahh I see.
how does the dancer's rotation generally work at 60?
push glowing button
Same at 80 bur without the skills you dont have
Standard Step > push shiny buttons until Standard Step is back up
Literally the same
I can't remember what MMO it was that had a similar class/job progression but sometimes the "advanced" version of the basic class was wildly different than its "base".
press standard step as much as you can
Keen, ty
are blade shower and windmill aoes?
Ye
I'm guessing they're long and short range?
They have their own glowing button procs too
Both are around you
But they combo into Blood Shower and Rising Windmill respectively
oh
Only Saber dance is an aoe not around you
the aoes proc just like the single target skills
I read you can make your Bahamut bigger. Can I increase the sizes of Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda Egis as well?
No
Awww
you dont make bahamut bigger?
Ty
you can make it smaller
you can make it bigger
Only bahamut cause he was getting in the way
there's 3 sizes
huh
^
why would you make it large
because you're a madman
Trust in the force luke
So you can flex on your party for 20 seconds
bahamutsize is client side
So, here's a question. I just bought the Complete Edition. Is there any reason for me to activate it before I hit 60?
your party can't see it
Wouldn't I get more game time by playing it on trial until 60?
Everyone can control how big or small they view it as.
if you want the restrictions lifted
It doesn't really add anything for you, outside of lifting restrictions
Unless you really want viera/Hrothgar
Or get annoyed at the trial limitations
Is there an orchestrion roll for the Feast Culling Time music?
Does purple dye exist? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/226353385706618880/818655421799464960/unknown.png
Yes
theres multiple purple dyes
Various shades of purple including metallic.
What shade of purple would go best with the relic weapon?
metallic purple
You can preview without even having the dyes on hand
!mb crystal metallic purple
its !market
And in #kupo-bot-spam
Need full name of the item
If I upgrade my elem armor after I dye it purple, does it overwrite?
youre trading in the gear so yes
Yes
i did it for you
Thank you
is there a way to check jumbo cactpot numbers if your sub died? lol
Does anyone know what happens in ps4 if you change PSN account and then execute FF XIV?
(They are linked)
PSN to XIV account is 1:1
Your XIV account would be linked to your previous account.
So you wouldn't be able to log in.
Hello, stupid question incoming 🙂 How do i tell what expansions i have activated on my account from mogstation? 🙂
the Os
This means i have all expansions?
Yes
Yes. On PC
Sorry, bought it long ago and cant remember haha
Always played WoW but got tired of it now
Gonna give this a shot 🙂
Hey uh...I've been working on that map trying to figure it out and uh...it's really driving me mad
what map
THE map, like, regular map
What's confusing about it?
The thing is it never tells me where to go until I'm at that specific area?
Yes.
Or I'm too dumb to understand?
It will have a flag if you need to go to a connecting area.
If your quest is in another area then the quest name is at the zone transition
But it won't show objectives in different zones otherwise.
click on the quest objective to open it on the map
I did, but how do I know where I am in regards to the objective?
you are the blue pin
I mean how do I know which area I'm in and where should I go to reach my destination
Is this like morrowind type of deal?
zoom in?
look which zone the destination is and click the top arrow in the top left of your map to see all the zones
go out to the region map if you're not entirely sure where zones link to each other
thats what this channel is here for
thats what the channel is for
Fair point...I just get too self-conscious
mmmm that handwriting
ooooh! Thanks @open coral
But you get the idea of what you'll see.
That’s just me all the time with my main hand
The player is that blue pin at the right. My objective in another zone is indicated by the flag and gold pin at the left.
say someone undercuts you by like half price on an item that sells very slowly. Would you undercut back or just wait it out?
So I'm planning to be an ice mage and I picked conjurer...but apparently I'm given healing and rock magic...
CNJ is a healer.
ice mage = black mage
there is no ice mage
There's no ice mage
There is no ice mage
black mage uses fire and ice
So I messed up?
you should have picked thaumaturge if you wanted to be a black mage
THM/BLM uses ice, but if you only use ice you're doing it wrong.
And people will get mad.
So I should restart
blue mage has a ton of ice skills though XD
I see, healing may come in handy after all, seeing that a giant three insta ko'ed me
if you wanted to be specifically an ice mage though.. you're going to be very disappointed >_<
Of note, you cannot use other classes' abilities when you swap jobs.
if you got instant killed then either the mob was way above your level or your gear sucks ass
Make sure you equip new stuff
THM/BLM is a dps. You can't heal.
Said tree might’ve also been like 10 levels above you
^
How come?
because black mage spams fire
If you’re in the starting zones that’s the forest
ice is used less than fire
Because you're using 20% of black mages kit
2% is generous
That barely does any damage
ice is only used to regenerate mana for black mage, and does very little damage
Black Mage is about maximizing your damage/time in fire and only going into ice to regenerate mana and setting up a buff or two
the core of black mage is expending mana using high dmg fire skills and then building mana back up using less dmg ice spells
You're in Ice stance for the briefest moments to regen mana
if you want to roleplay as an ice mage, then maybe playing as a blue mage with only ice skills would be the way to go
2-3 spells usually
Blue mage huh?
you cant do the story as blue mage
Blue mage can't do story however
its just side content
And you have to go hunt down the spells manually
And it doesn't have that many ice spells
You don't learn them by leveling like other jobs.
There's like Rams voice, Ice spikes and Blaze
And Glass dance i think
As ice spells
Northerlies
Ok 1 more
and well, UV doesn't really count but it synergizes xD
I'm recruiting a friend, where do they type in the recruitment code?
mog station
Well, shame...thanks guys
I'm slightly confused..why does it say that I've had logins from a game console when I strictly play from PC? Has this happened to anyone else? :v
Like I know I bought the game on the ps4 waaayy back when but I haven't touched that in years.
Your account may have been hacked then.
that explains why my account was suspended then x.x
That would be why
Mhm. They'll suspend accounts for "suspicious activity" if you get a login from a previously unused platform.
I just hope this issue gets resolved quickly. I legit don't work til friday and it's gonna be pretty reeee if I can't even play the whole time.
You can put in a customer service ticket (if you haven't already) to recover your account. It's also recommended to enable one-time passwords.
See like I dont get why it keeps saying game console
Even have one from germany apparently today
Yep. You got hacked.
Time to change your info
Oh yeah
Already changed the password to some super convulted shit I'mma have a hard time remembering but I wrote it down so theres that.
Should I change the email associated with it as well? And is there anything else I should change?
Just super confused as to how it happened when I even have the 2FA set up and everything
Did you like, enter your username/password on a scam site or something?
Although, to be fair, I've had someone trying to authenticate my Nintendo account email for the past couple of weeks, but it keep failing because it always sends a code to me that I just don't do anything with.
the oddest thing I can think off today was that there was someone throwing a raffle in Limsa and they were throwing a link to a ffxiv forum thingy
Yep
son of a bitch
if you clicked any link that wasnt a purple message in game then youre at risk
Basically any forum links will be phishing links really
They even have like an Xyz thing in the link
Which gives it away
If you look closely at the link
fok man
happens cuz of me being a dum dum I guess
poor ass sproutling
needing some money and a brain apparently
trust me after this I'm never clicking a link from in game for as long as I live
just contact support
oh I did
and already did the stuffs to get it escalated
just a waiting game now
praying to god it's quick tho
dont even wanna click it again and investigate it since it already fokt me but this is the link
is that like not the typical ffxiv forum or
gotcha
does ranged dps need to worry about flanking?
should I send this info over the square enix as well ?
Couldn't hurt
no, ranged dps do not have positionals @junior crow
Moreso google or whatever so they can take it down
Thanks!
Though dont stand infront of the boss and get smacked by cleaves
You should be on the bosses ass
Safest place to be
ye
please dont be that one dps standing right where the tank is
dont make the healer yoink you
in general don't stand in front of the boss unless you're tanking it
Or do so i can have something to giggle at
Ok pulled in Kugane Castle, popped Holm, was active for like 3-4 secs but still died, anything that would have caused that?

If I have a 2-seater mount, can I give my passenger the controls?
no
did the mob you chain onto die
How long does it take for mounts to show up in mail? I bought mine around 5 and it’s now 9.
iirc killing a mob you chained yourself onto with holmgang will deactivate it
Go to the delivery moogle and click the “request reward delivery” button at the top of the mail window to speed up
Shouldn’t take hours
Thank you! I shall try that.
theyve taken a few hours for me before
Account-wide items do take longer though
It was the fat cat Mount that I got!
I have a question here. I'm on Crystal, and I'm looking to join a static for raiding. How do people usually go about doing that?
recruitment channel
Advertising via party finder, r/FFXIVrecruitment, discord channels etc
Here in this server we have #recruitment-crystal
patch 5.5 will drop on April 13?
Yes
Anyone have any suggestions on next crafting job I should level? I have Culinarian and Disciples of the land max level.
level all of them together
apparently one or two have important cross skills thats worth focusing on first
can you trade with trial account players?
cross class skills are no longer a thing for DoH
and they're pretty whatever for DoL
no, can't trade with trial players @hollow violet
No
Unfortunately you cannot fund a trial player's ludicrous spending habits.
does alchemist make money on the market
Yes alchemy pots sell very well
Tinctures are usually decent
grade 4 tincture
and leatherworker things that sell on the market are just glamour clothes right?
armor
weaver is generally glamour crafting class
although leatherworker does craft some glams as well
not really
ok im prob just gonna level alc cul and wvr then thanks
leatherworker does make a fair number of glamour armour as well, but then you've got the primal weapons which are gonna crp/bsm/gsm
if youre going to level crafters then you should level them all together
i dont have enough money to do ishgard for all of them
he was asking about clothes
not doing all of them would be more expensive
while cul is pretty self sufficient, and alch is mostly self sufficient, wvr will often require leather and other stuff to craft things
So I figure he would be more interested in the weaver/leatherworker
does techincal step override standard step DPS buff?
but yea every crafting class has glams
ideally want to get a standard step within tech step window
so can turn both of them at once?
Yes
tech dance is a temporary raid buff
how would not doing all of them work out to be more expensive?
Because you use 0 gil
because you would have to buy the materials
Making stuff yourself
instead of just crafting them
standard is more or less a permanent buff(assuming you don't forget to dance for an extended period of time which you really shouldn't)
the crafters all make materials that the others use
Doing them 1 by 1 is more expensive cause you're buying mats you can't make
oh you mean after im done leveling with ishgard itll cost a lot to make stuff?
you use standard pre pull so that you can use it again during tech's window in the opener
should I be selling most of my inventory while leveling up oir are there certain things I need to hang on to?
or what, cause the stuff that costs money from ishgard is the stuff you get from gathering
generally speaking anything you can sell you can buy for roughly the same amount later on if you do actually need it
some ishgard recipes use mats that other crafters make iirc
the lv70/80 wvr recipes require leather from ltw
oh
I mean if you sell on the market, if you mean vendoring, well anything not worth a good amount on the market you can just vendor yeah
for ishgard turn ins
ltw lvl 70/80 turns need cloth, etc
leveling all DoH and DoL (can ignore fisher for the most part)
means that it will generally be less expensive, but bit more time consuming
cool
so what if i level them all to 60 then start doing them at the same time? cause only 70 80s require stuff from other
you would still be spending money and using up inventory space for gear
if youre not leveling them at the same time
hm how exactly would i level them at the same time then, that doesnt exactly make sense to me..
Do like 5 or 10 levels
switch to the other
Then switch
what are popular mats ppl use combat retainers for
Rinse repeat
ok cool

what's the currency required for lvl 80 gear?
im kind of worried about running out of money, do the dyes that cost skybuilder scrips sell well?

You're making your own things
Gathering your own stuff
Dont buy things
Do it yourself
Thats the entire point of levelling crafters and gatherers together
and do each gear piece cost the same as it did with the poetics ( 240-600)
Gil is for being lazy
I buy everything almost, gathering sucks
One message removed from a suspended account.
hm ok
One message removed from a suspended account.
One message removed from a suspended account.
i will spend gil until i am at 200k
Gather and craft your own things
Dont be lazy
You'll save alot of gil
Then you wont ever complain about low gil
If it's cheap I'll buy it, if not and its easy enough to get I'll gather it
Gathering is so boring
you don't really "save" gil by gathering, mostly the AH fees, and assuming crafting generates more money in the same amount of time than gathering(which it does), you usually lose potential money by gathering your own stuff
i litereally just bought my way through iut
A lot of the cheap stuff a few roulettes can easily make the money back
wait true
having all crafters max level makes it much easier to make money faster in a short period of time
when you use /echo, only your party hear it?
only you
is there an in-game weapon/armor search function, even for gear that's not in my inventory?
yup /isearch
<se.1> and alike make the party hear it?
may i post a video here got a question
isearch only searches for items in your inventory
<se.1> in party chat will make the party hear it
he says i can dungeon level so what does he mean by that? i just que for dungeons and get xp? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkj8YvVE3l8
Due to the fact, that my leveling videos are a bit outdated already,
here is a heavily compressed "Battle plan" to manage those level ranges in the best way.
Still, for in-detail tips and information, check out the following videos:
Level 1 - 21: https://youtu.be/0hhzXgbZDVE
Levels 21 - 26: https://youtu.be/R6t_ebUUkhg
Levels 36 - 50: https://y...
same with raid chat?
no, isearch will even find things on your retainers, glamour dresser, etc.
@proven magnet dont follow desperius
o
are you trying to level your first job
should i delete?
its fine
i'm looking for a general search function that searches for all the weapons/armor in the game
oh yeah im offline but im just wondering if u could level by doing dungeons and yes its my first char should I only do main story quests?
@dark copper there is none in game, look in the #glamour-discussion pin
oh I see, I thought you meant things that you owned somewhere
o i keep doing side quests
there's no way to do a search like that in game. The best you could do is search the Market Board, but that will only cover items that can be sold
dont they give lots of xp like in WoW?
No
no
omg
garlandtools.org/db is a good place to search if you want to browse everything available in the game
you can ignore the blue quests that say "leves of" and the ones that unlock classes you dont want
how many are there, 10?
oh wow holy crap
Well every 5 levels until 50
Then every two until 60
Then 63, 65, 68 and 70
They're mandatory to do
Then there's the role quests for 70+ which basically replace job quests which are every 2
Have to ask, does the same guy do voices for Bathier (FFXII) and Urianger from this one?
sounds very similar
in ARR, yes its same as balthier
ARR, the first time you meet the.. uh... scions?
ah a shame. Thanks! Glad to hear a familiar voice for a short time at any rate
they switched it for game of thrones actors 
is all sanctuary xp the same? Any difference between logging out in the city vs in an inn?
Same
where do u pick up the hunt board quest? there's an S rank Nandi in upper la noscea and i dont even know which expac it belong to and where the board might be
S/A ranks don't require hunt bills
you still get the rewards if you kill it
S ranks have no bills
oh ty
if its in la noscea then its ARR
Wow. Guy did voices for FFXIV, multiple WoW expansions, W*, ESO, SW:TOR, TERA. Seems he likes voicing for MMO's 🙂 Anyways, good night all. Thanks for all of the help
How do you hand in custom deliveries exactly? I'm trying to do fishers and turn in Thavnairian Leaf but can't? Is collectible a different entity that I have a chance of getting?
fisher has its own collectable
hi
oh wait are leaves fishes
Yeah that's a fish
oh I know, you didn't use collector gloves
to make them a collectable
FSH still uses collector gloves
Returners or Avalanche?
collector gloves? where/how to get these?
it's a skill you should have
since you can't get custom deliveries without it
just open your skills and find it, should be... 52?
Oh I think I see it, it's called Collect?
It's just a buff you use first before you start fishing?
yes
you should also check the min collectability required
have to put it on then collectable fishes will be fished as collectables, for some reason they haven't updated fishing with the new system yet
to turn in the fish
ty, I was so confused... was wondering why these fish were useless
and yeah use Patience
to get "HQ" so the collectability rating is high enough to turn in
you can just fish until you get enough but it'll be slow without patience(preferably patience II for the higher HQ chance)
tbh, i dont think fishing would work with the new collectable system for bot/min
easier to just keep it as a collector's glove buff
since the collectability rating for fish is based entirely off of the size of the fish
and you can manipulated that to a degree by using patience to catch HQ which are usually bigger in size
I leveled botanist first and I was kinda looking forward to a fishing minigame for collectibles. Lol
Get enough as in hitting the rating? You can turn in up to your allowance?
all collectables have a minimum collectability rating to be turned in
as an example, you need 50 collectability to turn in the item
for max rewards you need 100
What gear should I have at level 80 DRK?
Minimum, medium, maximum rewards. Always 3 tiers
Anything I should buy?
I see ty
@tender ice gear from tomes of allegory to get a start. Then you can do bozja for some 495 gear (and 510 gear after you're rank 10)
You can get 510 gear from the latest Eden raids
can skip all of that and buy exarchic if you have the gil
I'm a fresh level 80, where do I buy that tome of allegory stuff?
Eulmore
Also what am I looking for off the MB?
Ill take a look, cheers
The items at the top of the MB are the highest ilvl when you're looking at armor
And weapons
Is it a Splendor in Eulmore?
There's a desk with a bunch of dudes by the aetherite. One is a tomestone vendor
guys plz
i need the big assist
my game is having an error and wont let me update or launch the game
Is it better to go for that, or should I just buy Exarchic off the MB? I have the gil
Exarchic is MUCH better than allegory gear
I see, thanks
But the gear you get from the latest tomes is a step up from that
Allegory is just sorta "catch up" stuff. Or good for crafting mats
Tomestones of Revelation are the "good" ones. They give 520 gear that can upgrade to 530
How would I get Exarchic without buying it?
Crafting
can anybody tell me if i need to be level 80 for ARR relic? or is it 60 because it was a older one?
Someone explain relics to me
yeah i know about time lol but then just need to be level50?
They are weapons right
grindy shiny weapons @tender ice
basically just glamour
Can someone give me a ride for heavens word I'm trying to get up some where but it's confusing there's like a bunch of spots bit I can't find the entrance to get to my main senorio quest
for older relics, they're just glamour
How do you go about getting it
Very very very very very long questlines
The grind is long. Not the number of quests
for the current expansion one its a decent alterative weapon if you don't want to spend gil, revelations or aren't doing savage
I just need one spot to get too
so just level 50 then for ARR relic? just making sure before i start it lol
yes
thank you!
you only need to be lvl 50 for the ARR relic
its just easier to do it at 80
since you can easily mow thru things unsync
Does every class have a relic?
The LvL 80 relic is by far the fastest one to get so far, at its current rank
i mean im level 70, just wondering
yes, but not every job has a relic for each lvl range
Any class that existed in said expansion had a relic
its for my pally, cuz ive done 2 HW relics for my healers, dont really wanna do it again lol
relics and artifact gear are not retroactive
and i dont want Zeta, just cortana nexus 😛
so if the job wasn't released until after that lvl cap, they aren't going to have a relic/af set for that lvl range
There are relics at 50, 60, 70, 80. All seperate.
i.e none of the expansion jobs have arr relic
Also what kill said

Do you do it as a crafter?
well
Oh
they do for lvl 80
relics...weren't really a thing for crafters/gatherers previously
Technically there’s the lv 50 main tool from class quest but not really
if i wanted to find a good Free company where would i ask that in here? i'm guessing this is where i would ask?
The ARR relics are at least a couple weeks of work to get. HW is a little better. SB is a hell of a slog but you can do it in a week. A very rough, long week
probably check in #recruitment-aether
thanks Nemie
And the latest one.... Isn't bad! Except the latest step
HW aint bad, just tedious the stupid crystal sands
tho if u have a crafters at 80, easy peasy yellow scrips for blue
ARR ones look good but yeah as mister said, slow, very slow lol
plus you depend on queues i believe
not really
can u unsync em?
yes
How long will Exarchic last me?
i mean if you wanted to, you could just stop at exarchic
currently the highest ilvl required is 510
Gotcha
ty
I've nearly completed Shadowbringers, just gotta do post pretty much. What would you recommend I do afterwards?
Just whatever I want?
pretty much
best way to level BLU solo?
The highest ilvl gear going into the next expansion should be 530. So exarchic at 510 is.... Quite good
Take note that the starter gear given away in Endwalker will be HQ i515
Killing things 5-9 levels higher than you. Literally just killing mobs
How do I get it to 510?
So being at HQ i510
Appreciate it!
Or is all of it together 510?
Exarchic is 510 when you buy it
Or having 520/530 tomestone gears will be fine
alright thanks
It's not exciting but it's pretty fast. You can get a few levels an hour just killing things
Blue mage gets 10x exp when solo
Fates are completely useless for leveling Blu though
on the exp bar
Can you start the ShB relic quests after the Shadowbringers MSQ
So i dont have to do post?
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
@twin delta ^
oooo gotchu, thanks man
Iirc someone said I cant farm them off enemies above 70. I'm currently lv67 since a friend helped me level earlier, can I move on to enemies that are 70+ or do I keep grinding level 69 mobs
70 mobs work fine
@tender ice you can start it but later steps require post shb
gotcha
only up to 70, past that it won't work
not much of a difference between 69 and 70 iirc, and 70 you need someone to kill them for you
Many people power levelled blue with the 70 mobs on khlosuia beach
Or outside Amh arangs gates
does every xpac have a relic
Yes
For combat
Zodiac for arr, anima for heavensward eureka for stormblood and resistance for Shadowbringers
What do RP players do in FFXIV? I am kinda on a burnout and wanna see if that avenue interests me
the enemies on kholusia beach are resistant to missile 
Roleplay their character
they do whatever they want to do
missile can only work on enemies equal or lower than you
Build a backstory and all
Be the hor-knee
you can't use missiles to farm higher mobs
regardless
that's why I said if you're solo you should stick to 69 mobs
70 is a slight bump in xp but it's not something you do solo, only for powerlving with a friend
I probably should have read the ability effects. All I remembered was press it and things die
every death effects works this way to prevent shenanigans
Appreciate the tips
But like how do they roleplay their character?
However they want?
Mix between say and /em chat
Do they just chat or something
Is ARR relic hard or is it just long asf
Or do they do like quests and stuff
Primarily talk
talking to other people
chat and emote
Sometimes do things while talking
making up scenarios
Should I be logging out in a certain place or does it matter?
so long as you're in sanctuary (indicated by a crescent moon near your xp bar), you're fine
ty!
They're usually by aetherytes
did you check this
you need to use /rally
All foR fen-YLL RALLY Below the Leatherworker's Guild in Old Gridania
Does DRK not have a ARR relic?
no because drk didnt exist in ARR
Alright cool
relics aren't retroactive yeah, so only the expansion the classes were added+later ones have relics
Gotcha
as i said earlier, none of the expansion jobs will have an ARR relic
because none of them existed in ARR
@tender ice https://youtu.be/yM7nhUph6QQ
Every form of the Dark Knight relic weapon, from the i170 Animated Deathbringer to the i275 Cronus Lux.
Mister Salty of Exodus with Kloefia Darkstar.
If you are on Exodus and would like to help out finishing all the other relic weapons (excluding Bard, Dragoon and Astrologian) then please get in touch with Mister Salty in game. Thanks!
Here's all the HW dark knight steps and what they look like
Ah so it’s animated on first stage
I already have Deathbringer that I got from the Forgotten Knight
Do any of y'all know cool FCS on Midgard... so far I haven't been able to find any that are good
that version isn't connected to the hw relic
Yeah
look on community finder or the recruitment channel
Wait theres a recruit channel
So are all relic quests grindy?
to some degree, yes
relic weapons are meant to be grindy
Some more than others? And is it consistent? Like, is the quest format the same on every xpac relic or do they switch up how you do it
theyre different
that are steps that are similarish
but how bad the grind is, is going to vary
like anima relic is mostly a poetic grind
since most of the steps are going to require poetics in some form or fashion
And what if I complete the quests on DRK and want a relic on another class?
then you do everything again
with the luxury of being able to prebuy certain things
Gotcha, so the quests are replayable?
yes
Well I don’t mind grinding, I’ll probably get into that once I’ve completed MSQ - which would you say is the easiest to grind and hardest?
easiest is HW
Anima is hard for the first time, but very easy for your subsequent grind



because they unlock stuff
