Gotcha
With all prep work done, I once manage to get a maxed Anima relic in less than two weeks, playing casually during that two weeks
So the weapon upgrades on each quest line? And they add more via patches up until the end of the xpac?
yes
What's the critical hit multiplier?
!faq stats
is it possible to get the fat cat mount in-game or do we have to pay irl money for it
as a new player not sure if I want to drop $24 haha
its irl only
Anyone else dcing?
there is a minion that looks like it tho
yes
yep
Okay
So I can progress the ranged dps level 70 class quest using dancer in the crystarium then
Or is that magical dps only?
Yup
melee and physical ranged share a role quest
its physical/magical spilt
Can you dye relic weapons?
some of them, yes
Tank, healer, physical melee/range, mage
ARR relic can't be dyed at all
and certain steps of anima aren't dyeable
Does it change the effect colours?
I see
The ones with significant effects usually are not dyeable
HW is Anima right?
yes
Yes
What are the other xpacs called?
Visual effects cannot be dyed
For the relics
ARR= Zodiac, Sb= Eureka, Shb = Resistance
Thank you
this really isn't all that accurate
if i start a new job what level does it starT?
since realistically the only relic that's not dyeable at all is ARR
most of the steps for anima/eureka/resistance are dyeable
Yeah I guess that are huh...
Depending on the job.
Jobs that came with expansions start higher
ahh ok ty
!faq expacjobs
Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (Tank), Astrologian (Healer), and Machinist (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require completion of the level 50 main scenario quest 'Before the Dawn'.
Quest Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Pillars(13,8).
Astrologian - Pillars(15,10).
Machinist - Foundation(8,10).
Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.
Quest Unlock Locations:
Red Mage - Ul'dah(14,17).
Samurai - Ul'dah(9,9).
Shadowbringers Expansion Jobs: Gunbreaker (Tank) and Dancer (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 60 and require ownership of the Shadowbringers Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 60.
Quest Unlock Locations:
Gunbreaker - New Gridania (11,11).
Dancer - Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (9,12).
all others start at 1 when you unlock them
So when I equipt glamour plates I don't need glamour prisms but when I've to take off the plate I need to use dispellers? Can I take plate off without using them
You can't restore the armor's original look without using dispellers
So I can't just take off plate right
Plates works like a loadout of glamors
Need to use dispellers per piece
It still follows glamour rule and behavior
Applying a plate is a one-and-done thing, it doesn't "stay equipped" so to speak
If you have three tank who share gears, two of them have plates and the third doesn't
so there is no method for "taking it back off"
The third tank's shared tank gear will look like last time you use one of the other two tank
do u need +3 chain for NM to spawn in eureka
I assume bootshine's guaranteed crit still bases the dmg increase % on your crit stat?
Exp Chain in Eureka doesn't affect the spawning of NMs
@jovial tide yes
Crit stat does two things
Chances to crit
And damage multiplier when crit
when the blue mage log says full party, does it have to be all blue mages?
yes for blu log it needs to be a full blu party
oof
4 people in the same party that have pvp unlocked
in theory if you have others that queue at the same time they can be in a different party in your alliance
can 1v1 at wolves den pier
dont think so
are there any good sites for tracking ffxiv crafting projects kinda like trello but maybe better geared toward ffxiv?
Okay so I put a weapon on mb for 120k but it sold for 114k why is that
Taxes
I thought they need to pay extra smh
does level matter in pvp or gear
Neither
good
I think Garland Tools does that but not sure if it's what you're looking for
wasn't sure if something similar-ish to trello existed as far as like
pick an item, list all the stuff needed to craft it, then let people knock out the items on the list
Teamcraft has more crafting resources
i think that's the one i wasd trying to remember the name of
in theory if you get 2 teams of 4 you could compete against each other queuing at the same time when feast is dead. can only partner with one other person though
buyer and seller pays taxes on mb purchases
more seller's total revenue is reduced. it doesn't actually tax your money directly like guild wars 2 where you lose money listing on the boards, needing non-refundable money up front for the tax instead of revenue lowered from the sale total.
Is there a way to upgrade from standard to shb complete edition
So that I get the mount and whatnot
Or do I have to pay a new 60$ for that on steam
you can upgrade to the collectors edition any time on mog station
once you have shadowbringers
How much does that cost
Since I already have Stormblood Collectors Edition
Does it cost another 40$
20$
Ah
theyre all 20
are the teams random? but if u go to wolves den u can 1v1 friends right?
you can only be paired with one other person unless you go custom route
These are the classes I currently have, I just want to know what would be best next
Should I do another miner or botanist?
Can a fisher make money?
you'd have to get two groups of four and queue into custom feast
4v4 only
so there is no 2v2/3v3 in pvp?
What to spend tomestomes on? I have all 2000 of them and am a few quests from HW
kk thanks lol kinda wack
Which beast tribes are the crafting/gathering focused ones?
!faq poetics
ixal, moogles, namazu, dwarves/qitari
Anyone? I just need to know what retainer has the highest chance to make gil at max level
what class*
if you already have a miner and botanist then make a fisher
Can a fisher make gil?
yes
sweet
you dont really need that many combat classes
I realized that after looking into how retainers work
I made most of these a long while ago
Is it faster to do Bozja or Trusts to level DPS-es?
bozja
hello i dont know where to put this but hoping to find a group in elemental to do a duty
as we cannot progress with story without it
queue
we are in q have been for two hours
which duty
leviathan hard
so just try later i suppose
If you're about to reach lvl 50,60 or 70 on any of your classes I would recommend keeping some so you can gear up instantly
From 50 yes but it excludes 80 as that uses another type of tombstone
They unlock new skills
up through 70 they give you better skills
Always do them
yes
Hey guys, new player here, Sadly i just bought the whale mount for 30USD after just seeing the lunar whale mount coming out, Do we know how much its gonna be? I really would rather have that over this one, I'm guessing ffxiv doesnt do refunds either huh
any tips on how to level quickly with the road to 70 buff? just keep doing story quests?
Story and leveling roulette
Also dont think they've announced the price of the new lunar whale mount yet
Shouldnt be more then 50 usd though right?
Gonna be expensive though
the price hasnt been confirmed
Why am i level capped if i own SHB? I got it on steam, rebooted my game and logged on, and it still wont let me lvl past 60
Luckily for me I dont have 7 friends
i just want it cause it looks cool
@cobalt mauve did the launcher download shadowbringers
It didn't download anything
You needa link it to your acc for steam
It just said play when i turned it on
did you apply the code to mog station
you bought shadowbringers on steam?
yes
on the ff14 page in your library
log in to mog
wait i think i found it
how much do yall think the lunar whale will be
¯_(ツ)_/¯
since the other one is 30 usd
Mannn i feel like i messed up buying this one after seeing the lunar whale
cuz for some reason its not working for the free trial
i have it on ps5
the trial
but i wanted to try the pc version and its not letting me use the same account
you cant use the trial on multiple platforms
oohh okay
so if im playing the game on free trial ps5
if i decide to buy the game later on pc
it'll work on the same account?
i wont lose anything
gotcha
I'm watching some old (2014-2015) videos of FFXIV. What's that thing over the (full?) party tracker with the six stats? They look like buttons?
(STR DEX VIT INT MND PIE)
main stat bonuses
they're now located in the party window (O on keyboard by default)
they're no longer main stat bonuses either
having one of each role in your party ensures than you get all the bonuses.
Now it's 1% of every stat for every additional role
oh yeah
to discourage stacking roles in a premade party, or what
exactly
Tanks and Healer, Ranged, Melee, and Casting
When I try to increase the size of my enfeeblements bar, why does it increase the size of my buff bar instead?
Because it's the same bar
make sure you're selecting the right UI element
but you can split them in the options for that HUD element in HUD layout.
you increased enhancements
No I have enfeeblements selected
status bar doesn't work based on selection, they're all considered the same "element" in settings
Do you think this is a big enough bar for scouting for accel bombs?
Full picture
enfeeble bar is the same size as enhancement bar
personally would make the buff window a square and put it closer to the logos actions but it looks fine
on the moogle tomestone
the pvp says 3 or 5 moogle tomestones
is one certain pvp only worth 3?
Yeah dgs are good however if you're dps you're gonna be waiting awhile most of the time
Have you done all the MSQ?
Good exp and unlocks new content, it's a win-win
Could also do Deep Dungeons which is the best exp for DPS I believe
no
its only recommended for dps with long queues
leveling dungeons still give more exp
So if we're talking 10-15min queues leveling dgs are still better?
yes
can i glamour myself or do i have to put it on a armor piece? while leveling i'd like to have a certain glamour on but dont wanna have to change it everytime i change gear
Oh thank god I really didnt wanna do deep dgs for dps leveling
@tender dirge make a glamour plate
I'll look up a video, i dont wanna annoy y'all with dumb questions haha
idk what that is

HUGE Thanks to my Patreon Sponsors, who make this ...
I am trying to keep two jobs leveled as I do MSQ: DRK and RDM. Is this feasible if I switch when one gets a level above? Would it be smarter to do RDM and catch up DRK with tank queues? I'm in Stormblood MSQ
do either one with msq and the other with roulettes
2 questions:
-
Who here can help me with using Macros?
-
Who here can help pick what tank I should main and play? (For all that's good and holy, do not say "What ever flies your boat". Those answers annoy the hell out of me. Pardon me.)
It really does but alright I'll give this a shot are you new to tanking?
Looking for something intensive or easy to grasp?
but Im trying to finish the msq and level up my sam full
All I care about is a class that feels strong and fun
So long as I don't get bored, or makes me feel like Im doing something, I don't care what it is.
Samurai taught me that the hard way
DRK might be a go. Not overly complex, feels fun to play and has some really cool looking animations
Might be a bit bias too since I main it but that's besides the point
What about Gunbreaker?
theres a video in the pins with an overview of each job
Just asking
Complex rotation that might be a bit much but once again you gotta pick what you think you'll like, all of them perform very well endgame
its not any more complex than dps
Well if you're new you have to worry about rotation and damage mitigation
Also utility seems weaker than some of the other option in my opinion
i would watch the video in the pins because each tank feels "strong and fun"
and if you still cant decide roll a die
Tbh I play all of them and think they're all fun in their own way
I like dps
all tanks do equal dps
If you do pick GNB just a heads up, the speed of the class doesnt pick up to 70 then it goes into overdrive
want to ask, is there any list of the difference between free trial and complete version ? Thanks
!faq trial
!faq freetrial
That'll give you the list of trial limitations
at least, that's the difference between being on the trial, and owning Starter Edition
the Complete Edition is everything from the Starter Edition plus the Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansions
which means the level cap increases to 80, 4 new jobs are available to pick up, and you have 2 more race options
ah thank you sir
As someone who's played both DRK and GNB, I find GNB to be quite a bit easier. DRK, you have to manage your MP, the Bloodgauge, and keep your Darkside up. GNB, the only extra gauge to keep track of is your Cartridges :P
Superbolide is also really useful. If you use Living Dead as DRK and you don't have a white mage, chances are your healers will just let you die XD
That and now trying to learn openers my god DRK has a lot of stuff to fit into it
GNB is the same burst window every minute and a small one at the 30 second mark
Brutal Shell is really handy too
GNB feels pretty simple to me, honestly
Plus it doesn't take as long to level, since it starts at lv 60
DRK starts at lv 30 which means you have to do ARR dungeons ..which is a slog
Only thing is in terms of reducing damage TBN is so good, makes the class
drk opener is short
Gave me time to learn how to tank when I started though if I did the same for GNB I would have made a lot of people angry
or im just used to double weaving as healer
Ah, yeah, I started the game as a PLD so I was already used to tanking when I picked up GNB
Im at like 150ping so I can double weave but not everything
then do the high ping opener
So I can play drk well but gonna be honest my rotation is just how I learnt to play since I never do savage
It's close but not optimal, like I think I blood weapon after the first GCD which is better than when I used to do it on the 3rd
you use blood weapon prepull
Ik that now but kinda hard to get outta the habit
Question about that actually is it really worth the mana loss if I dont use TBN?
wym mana loss
tbn is dps neutral if it breaks
Well if TBN doesnt break or you dont need to use it
if you don't need to use it then dont
use it on tank busters generally
knowing when to use it kind of just comes with experience
But thats what I mean you lose the mana gain from blood weapon if you use it prepull right?
Since you're already at max
Unless you just edge of shadows immediately
blood weapon will build your mp back up
you use edge of shadow after the first gcd
that tbn is there in a savage scenario if you pull the boss
it breaks to boss autos quite easily
and this is so you don't overcap mana from the first gcd
Yeah but thats what I'm saying if you cast blood weapon prepull and dont use TBN and just use a GCD isn't that a DPS loss or is it just worth it to get living shadow out faster to lose that mp?
Im probably explaining this poorly tbh mb
at that point
just take the 600mp loss because living shadow has to take like 6 seconds to spawn
its better that it goes out on time
That is true, guess I'll try that out next time I play DRK
the 600mp isn't really a huge deal in casual content
optimizing 600mp, while nice won't kill you
Yeah but neither is proper rotation which is why I never bothered but practice in case I ever do savage one day
the proper rotation thing is so you're respecting other players efforts/time
a proper rotation is a huge step tho
don't play like a shitbag if you don't want others to play like one
Like dont get me wrong it's like 95% but just never looked at min/maxing that hard
lead by example/efforts and make the instance a good time
to be fair if you're doing dungeons, you're unlikely to even be able to do a proper opener anyway
for normal trials and stuff I guess it's a thing
I just kinda use a simplified definitely not optimal opener on my DRK, mostly cause I just use it to do like E12N and Unreal Titan and expert roulettes and nothing else, so I just open with the jump which is definitely not dmg optimal
Only thing I do massively wrong is the blood weapon part I think, ogcds come out asap, dilirium after blood weapon wears off etc
lead by example/efforts
Yeha from what I gather just don’t use TBN at that point, use edge or smth seeing as it’s same cost
screams in wanting to strangle every black mage

you can't weave that correctly without forcibly delaying your first blood weapon'd GCD
Then ouch
which means you don't get 5 gcds in in it
Probably just deal with the MP loss then if it doesn’t break
sorry not mp loss jsut * loss in general
I. II Ii I_
Idk if you can recommend this to me in here or not but saw something that recorded every skill used then gave a breakdown on where they could improve, what combos they dropped etc, anyone know the name of it? if it cant be suggested in here all good
Ah ty
what act overlays do you guys use? I just saw that the newer installation has more than kagerou
is horizverlay any good?
its preference
i use horizon
but used to use kagerou
kagerou just had more information than i wanted immediately on my screen
all teh overlays are fine
good stuff, surprised we even have more than kagerou and all in an installation at that
they simplified the overall ACT installation a while back and made it easier to pick an overlay out
hey guys, i just hit lvl 50 on some crafting jobs and i basically hit a wall, i can't craft any mythrite stuff, the requirment is 450+ craftsmanship 😐 what gear should i get? i can't even craft gear for myself
How while back are we talking?
idk the last time i did a fresh re-install almost a year ago it was like this
I haven't played since a year and halfish or release of shadowbringers first patch after msq
so might've been around there
I'd just get to level 51 and pick up the normal quality level 51 gear and then from there make HQ versions
I use ember, I haven't actually looked at the others though, I just remembered a reddit post where it looked alright and when I tested it I liked some of the functionality(collapse, auto hide when no activity, can make it clean without all the mostly useless stats like dhit% and all the other stuff)
Can yall help me? What happened to msq queues , only 8 players?
Nothing changed? not sure what you need help with
There are two and they are both/have been 8mans
Oh its been a long time, my ass tht it was 16 by default
So if the log gets recorded by ACT I can save it and send it to FFLogs is that how this works?
ohh no.. I dont think they ever were 16 tbh ^^ 8 man is the limit for a full party.. 24man alliance raids consist of 3 groups of 8
but MSQ is only 8
The two duties in MSQ roulette are and always have been 8-man. There has never been a 16-man single-player duty in FFXIV.
To be fair, for the longest time I thought one of the MSQ duties was 24 man. Might be because it is so chaotic the first time you do it that it seems like there are more players
You use fflogsuploader to upload jt
Alright so this should work then ty
what should be my first purchase on revelation tomes
with a scholar?
I have the crafted weapon book
is it still something along the lines of chest/pants?
or perhaps a ring?

If you're not venturing into savage
Standard gear priority is fine
is it me or leveling WAR is harder that leveling DRK? maybe I have poor armor or not spamming the 123 combo?
would I be able to get progress done on PFs for savage if I didn't wanna opt into a static, or do people not do that anymore?
absolutely
Oh leveling my alt,my HP is usually low even when I use rampart and thrill of battle
Does anyone know how much crysta a name change is, or does the price depend on the currency used to buy said crysta?
I mean are you dying though?
I combo it with minor cooldowns such as reprisal and arms length
jsut once
in brayfox, level 28 gear is ok right?
That's fine
You're fine probably
ok gonn a que qarn, is lvl 31 gear alright?
Brayfox is one of the harder dungeon
healer policy is the only hp that matters is 1 hp so.. as long as you're not 1 hp ..
Hold on is it tank gear though?
definitely there's a section where you can really get caught out on LMAO
my armor is usually past dungeons
Does your armor say disciple of War
yes
Or list all the tank
Yeah but you can wear dps gear since it doesnt separate it from class at that lvl
Okay so idk where I kept my deathbringer awoken
How do I search it
I mean at that level recommended gear should be pretty effective right
I am a cheapo person to buy stuff
you dno't have to equip it but it should help you check
my problem is accesories though, should I cave and buy level 30 ones?
uh.. they shouldn't matter too much right at that level? As long as you're at recommended gear level for the dungeon you should be able to run it just fine??? unless there isn't one
Nah I remember Brayfox suggested me non-tank gear at those lvls over lower ilvl tank ones
Sorry for dumb question. Where exactly in mogstation does it say when my sub/game time expires? I bought the game approx a month ago and bought a sub on the weekend, and am yet to receive the refer a friend rewards, and I cannot for the life of me see when my initial game time ends/what day my sub begins/began on (to tell if I should have my rewards yet as they've def not arrive in the moogle mail.
I mean yeah, why you should prpolly check before equipping recommended gear
That would be because it saw a strength increase
Yeah but at the time I didnt know any better so I wore it
Accessories sub50 are going to be quite scuffed @fast hull
I mean it won't do anything that bad ngl
Just make sure your defense is on level
DoW gear is inherently weaker in defense compared to tank gear
Yes, Idris
Oh I am level 35, queing for qarn
Should show number of days left on the main page at login
oh yeah LMAO pulling in that is pretty fun and healers almost always say to be careful
My mogstation squareenix account tells me when if I scroll down?
do people generally raid in 510 gear on their alts?
510 is veryy much expected if you mean savage raid
Thanks, yes that's where it looks like it should be but displays differently. I assume it will tick over whenever it does start the sub.
oh you mean you just subbed? check your credit card. my first sub is a hassle took them a day to fix it -_- you are steam?
I just clicked 'cancel sub' and there (and only there!) did it tell me 'you have two days left after which you can't play if you cancel this sub' so theres my answer and i will keep an eye on it that it updates. They remind you bloody early to subscribe. I though I had like one day to go but turns out there was a week to go of my initial time.
i just subbed and it hasn't ticked over into the first sub yet from the initial 30 days of game you get with purchase.
also I never "subbed", I pay a 30 day thing XD
anyway borrrrring for everyone else, my sub date. thanks for your help so much,
usually I make 1 time payments maybe others can help you on how to "sub" properly
oh yeah, this is recurring. who knows if i will still be playing in 1, 2, 3 months.
I can't find my relic weapon
Do I have to do the questline all over again?
Ummm
? sorry I dont know how to loose a relic weappn
What do you mean by you can't find it
have you tried /isearch
Ya
I search said you have 0?
It's saying no matches found
are you sure you searched for the correct name?
are you sure it's awoken or smth?
which relic?
deathbringer
/isearch death shows no result?
I finished summoner and restoration node is giving me summoner relics
Idk how to change it
I'll search death
Are you certain you didn't upgrade it further? the step above is named Nothung
go to mogstation and input your acconut
should be option to upgrade to complete ver or something
click it and it'll take you to squeenix store so you can buy the game, or at least that's waht it did for me
1 match found! Thanks :D

Had a minor heart attack
lmao
got an error message :((
?? are you on the your account page? I'm not too sure about it then
someone else take this case off my hands
Im' sure someone around here knows dw
are you absolutely sure you're signed in on the ID that you normally play on? did you create two accounts while trying to sign up for the trial?
what's the command to access which sidequest to do on #kupo-bot-spam ?
I forgot how to access it -_-
not sure which command you mean
like list of important sidequests hmm
i've seen it before but forgot how to access it

that's the one
ha nice ty ty
do mobs not drop crystals in hydros eureka
wow god I'm dumb... 8 months in this game. I just realized that they call themselves scions of the 7th dawn not because they are like 7 of them but of the umbral era
uhhh no, you roll
I think it's who gets the highest number?
and if you roll need then uh
If you roll need, then you roll a number from 1-99 against everyone else who also needed.
it means it works for your current class but if other people roll need you also have to hope to come out on top??
If no one rolls need, then it falls to the greed rolls.
oh yeah
available when in a PvP area (the Wolves' Den)
Pvp profile
im there
Under character
correct
oh yikes, so in alliance raids you have to get real lucky
@leaden ginkgo um you have your jobstone?
yes
the machine part things are tokens that can be exchanged for gear when you have a certain number. You can feel free to ignore them unless you want the glamour.
have you completed the quest unlocking a PvP mode?
1v1 duel quest?
ah sorry did you unlock the GC company quest thing that enables you to pvp
I'm not sure if the duel quest will do it.
stupid quest in GC
i see now thanks
Do I still get poetics when I run a dungeon unsynced?
You get the first time bonus if someone is there for the first time, but you don't get the regular completion reward

Just started playing and I know it’s an easy question but I’m around level 11 after about 5 hours, does the leveling slow down eventually?
Yes, especially after level 50
heeey i need help ... i dont know how to get this big boy's attention
Leveling slows down when you hit the level cap story for each expansion and picks back up when you hit the next expansion
Target them and type /me
Basically the game is wanting you to use an emote
omg thx i'm sitting here like 10 min.
maneee bought the wrong poetics armor ;-;
you don't
this stupid fking class can heal evey second and regen heals them full hp
is it even fucking possible????
PvP is broken lmao
People do pvp ?😂

PVP isn’t balanced around duels
It’s balanced for working as a team in feast (4v4), rival wings (24v24), and frontlines (24v24v24)
So there is no way to get the strife hairstyle huh... That sucks 🙄
Only from contests whenever it’s offered as a prize choice
are lv80 job gear dyeable?
Yes
You can get the dyeable version from the Memoria Misera extreme fight unlocked as part of the SHB relic quest line
The weapons still don’t have a dyeable version though ;-;
hey all couple of questions, Free COmpanys, are these the same as a guild in same WoW or EQ etc? also there are no chat channels in the open world right?
Yeah free companies are pretty much guilds also there aren't chat channels but pretty sure using shout lets you send a message across the area that you're in so kinda the same thing
How do you join a free company then of people cannot advertise them in chat?
People sometimes list their free companies here for recruitment. Just be sure to pick your world and look at the listing to see how to contact the player
Ah cool many thanks
someone link the leveling guide pls
hi, im trying to get gears from the custom delivery turn in scrips but there's only option for lv50
is that because i've only done the one from Idlyshire?
Is there an alliance raid series in heavensward?
no i need the guide lol
Watch a YouTube video
Yeah Heavensward does have an alliance raid
Ugh it's a faq on here I just don't know the code
All expansions do
can the <wait> modifier be applied to any command or only actions?
Any
msq if its your first class to 80, everything is locked behind it
otherwise for alts
!faq altlevelguide
Each map of eureka has their own crystals
For Anemos you get the big ones from fates and small ones from breaking down the big ones or semi-commonly from killing enemies near your level
Pagos+Pyros have the big ones from fates and small ones from filling up bars of light, mainly from completing fates, to convert into the small ones
Hydatos only has the big ones from fates
Thank you!
Can you hand in a completed Wonderous Trails as a lvl-1 job and get the ~7 million Exp for your lvl 1 player?
@obsidian patio but the small ones you can get from mobs?
It’s not consistent, but yeah
You generally have to kill things right at or a bit above your level
Yep
No, it's basically around 50% of what you need to level up for whatever job accepts the reward
Is there supposed to be maintenance today? Just came back to the game from a long break and I forgot when and what time they usually do it
k last thing for NM to spawn how many of the mobs do u usually need to kill?
No it scales to level (not even sure can turn in as lv1)
Usually maintenance is scheduled for monday night before weekly reset
Which log setting displays what track plays in duties and open world zones? I remember I used to have it on. I have "display current orchestrion track" on, but that only displays songs played through the orchestrion.
40-80. Some nms are really awful to spawn even if the mob grinder is set to high speed
Some nms have weather conditions also
@left moth how am i supposed to know which nm has been killed in instance though
literally killed like 90+ of 1 enemey and none spawn
Normally someone has a tracker running in the instance which has what bosses have been killed and their respawn timer
Also have to be killing the correct mob for a given nm
i was killing right ob
mob
but this instance=dead af and the people here dont talk
at all
Then was probably an issue with lack of communication of whats on cooldown
Best to get get a different instance
Usually the patch with a new alliance raid is the catch up patch. Crafting wise things alternate between new crafting and mew combat crafted (the latter at the same time as new 8 person raid tier). The next catch up is in 5.5 next month with augmented crafted and easier to augment tome stuff
Also 5.5 will add the i520 gear from the final 24-man raid for SHB on a weekly lockout
Since 5.5 is also the last major patch for shadowbringers some other stuff will probably change for filler content (80 relic nerf)
And 5.5 dungeon gear is expected to be i505
Is there new crafting/gathering gear and materia in 5.5?
Generally yes (savage + aug tome)
Nope, crafters and gatherers have the last expected gearsets until 6.0 hits
5.5 will probably get final scrip set, not new crafted set
I doubt we’ll be getting another scrip set since the current one somewhat competes with unmelted Aesthete, which is typical for scrip vs crafted crafter gear.
Yeah more an alternate way to get end expansion (not best) set
Have to ask people in the instance if they have one set up.
Nope, cap of 450 Revelations will still be there
In like 5.55 or 5.58 or so they’ll temporarily raise the cap to 900 to help people prepare for 6.0
There is like one aether current side quest in the sea of clouds and I just can’t find it
Believe one of those starts around the Ishgard airship landing so check there
At the very least it's The Pillars
Why is it there lol
Because
Don’t answer
At least it's somewhere where you'd see it quite often
I think I already asked this once but I forgot 😅 I can do the palace of the dead memories with another job, right? Because in the quest it says "Cannot proceed with a job that is different" - but I'm guessing this refers to turning in the quest?
right, thanks
what floor of potd does relic drop @twilit arch
potd drops relic weapons?
no
it drops an item required for a stage
where am I supposed to store all the various armors for glamours? since I cant put them in the armoir
glamour dresser
my quest lvl is 78. will people of the First realm learn that i am the WoD?
oh you can store things in there too? 400 is more than enough
and can you glamour that item anytime you want without needing a prism or you still need it after that
you can make a glamour plate with that item and using the plate doesn't cost any prisms
just have to be in a city, or safe area like housing district/end-game hub (i.e idyllshire/rhaglr's reach)
the only catch is you need to physically go to a glamour dresser to apply the glamour or to make a plate
you can also manually glamour an item with something in the dresser, but you have to be at the dresser to do so
I'm used to not being able to transmog anywhere I want so it's fine, cheers

isn't there a channel for fashion report?
I can't find it
or is that in another discord 
The !fr command can be used in #kupo-bot-spam
ty 
Do note that it’s a new week so it’s outdated unless Kaiyoko already updated it with this week’s preview
Yeah I figured, I just wanted to know for later because I was googling it before lol
it was posted on the sub already https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/m15uuz/fashion_report_for_week_of_20210309/
can the dungeons for wonderous tails be done unsynced?
I know the trials can but idk about the dungeons
ty
do i have to finish role quests in ShB in order to progress MSQ?
Yes
You have to finish one set of role quests, yes.
and those can be done right before ShB quest right? the lvl 80 one
You need to reach a certain point in the MSQ to unlock them, and be able to access certain parts of each zone, but otherwise as long as you're 80 you can finish them.
ok. ty
Like the healer one requires access to the upper part of Kholusia, which you don't get until the level 78 MSQ
Well, you get access to that before then, just not the aetheryte
is it normal to see people go afk in big man Dg?
You don't. You literally can't get to the top half until after you do the level 78 MSQ "The View From Above".
Unless you have someone physically fly you up with a two person mount.
is there an lfg specifically for your data center somewhere on discord? lol trying to get a group in game for blu spells in trials is a pain

#494379215420915712 , i guess
use the in-game party finder
it's dc-wide
Should be just the ilvl 90 gear yeah
That's just the old way to obtain that gear because the job quests didn't used to give them to you for free.
For minions that have
"Waterside Exploration XXII
Quick Exploration" as their acquisition, can they only be collected by fishers for quick ventures?
Either quick or waterside exploration
Yeah, but does the quick venture have to be on fisher?
Yes
With the changes to quick ventures its possible that minions are no longer available from it. Hard to say given that the pool is so big and ppl maybe just be unlucky
Is there a bozja-way i can get vexatious and haunted memories?
is diadem worth doing 1-50?
yes
but you can't start leveling there until... level 16 or smth iirc?
but don't do fsh there, level fsh thru ocean fishing
you unlock it in limsa lower decks, X 7.8 Y 14.5
thank you ❤️
ocean fishing cruises go every 2 hrs on odd hours, with different routes, and you can buy all the baits right next to the dock where you join the boat
this site will tell you what routes are coming up next and what baits to use https://ffxiv.pf-n.co/ocean-fishing
Schedule for upcoming ocean fishing voyages with information on blue fish, achievements, and more.
aand here's a text guide for it https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/f95w2o/a_detailed_definitive_guide_to_ocean_fishing/
851 votes and 105 comments so far on Reddit
are open tournaments every 2 hours like ocean fishing?
it's a bit complex to understand at first but doing abt 3-4 cruises a day allowed me to max fsh in like 3 days
It used to be even better with double-dipping. You could hop out at :14 and re-queue, basically getting 5 zones. You can't requeue anymore though
is there a level you have to be for ocean fishing?
fsh level 1
well, ideally you want access to Limsa so like 15 if you're from another city-state
is it just me or is my chocobo literally worse at healing since I got more skills for it?
like it just takes FOREVER to use cure
Iirc unless you set it to healer stance, it'll only heal you below 50%
yeah I set it to healer stance
and I almost died
tbh I was fighting a mob 8 levels higher, but it's literally just standing there looking at me
just want the hunting log thing to get thm to 15
Is it useful to do duty roulette on a lv 80 character?
Setting
Setting it to healer stance doesn't override the "use cure below 50%" command. It will just do no dps skills at all
I only really set it to heal stance when doing soothe leves, so it doesn't oneshot the mobs.
I select all 3 ivalice raids for faster queue time but end up getting the monastery every damn time. Like why would people keep doing the longest one???
Where is a good place to farm collectables? I just need a large amount for the "I collected that" achievements". It's the last one I need for mentor
people who need the unlock for bozja outweights people doing the 18relic step and not farming FATEs for it, probably
Because a lot of people queue for the first raid only, so people who queue for orbonne "suck in" those who queue through roulette.
@gritty oracle Godo to know, thanks
any blue mages know if you can get trial spells like eruption through normal or does it have to be hard or ex?
All of them can be got from NM except glass dance and feather rain. Those are ex only
I believe the Titan spell can only be gotten through Hard and Extreme as well. I don't think he uses the ability on normal
iirc Eruption and Mountain Buster can even be got from the 4-man version
according to google Serial is correct
Eruption is definitely possible though
you can get tomestones and stuff to buy materia so yes

only eruption
Is it true that you only get credit for rezzing people if they accepted your rez and nobody else's?
titan normal doesn't do the table flip
I believe so yeah, basically if they res at your spot, you'll get the credit
For a UK player, which worlds on either Light or Chaos would be good to join?
Any thats not Moogle or Shiva
As moogle is unofficially french and shiva is unofficially German
Otherwise any is fine
Gotcha, thank you 🙂
Question on glamor if someone can help. I hate the look of my current gear but it's significantly better.
I loved my earlier game gear look. I know you can use a glamor or something to change it in your room but is it a 1 time thing? If I use that look on a level 30 item, will I have to find another to use it again on a level 50?
Im getting full inventory from low level stuff and no idea what to save / sell.
some are crafting materials some are reagents
Nothing is consumed when you glamour stuff
Outside the prism used for it
You can reuse items multiple times over, alternatively put the glamour item onto a glamour plate and link it to your gear set so it automatically glamours you when you swap to the job in a city
what is the point of these custom deliveries?
are they per city or is it one pool ?
Each person has a different list of items
You have 12 turn ins spread across all 6 people
6 items per person max
Shadowbringers people have slightly higher than stormblood people and zhloe but those are mainly aimed at 70+ people
these refresh weekly ?
On weekly reset yes
alright , thanks
they have different rewards, mostly cosmetic
the one in firmament gives a mount tho

How do I get Rowena's Tokens (Poetics)? I'm unable to see them in Auriana, is there something I'm supposed to do?
It’s a basic general purpose bait best used for ocean fishing voyages
I believe those have been devalued/made unavailable after the somewhat recent changes to poetics gear acquisition.

how many allegory tomestone do i need for a full build?
You don't need them anymore because you just buy the weapons outright
With what currency 
poetics
poetics
Thank you 
Aelina has them
oof thavnairian onions are expensive
uh huh
they're A. a bitch to grow B. a bitch to grow assuming you actually hit the RNG to grow some C. you can't grow that many and D. you need a house
what does the PLD ability sheltron actually do?
!action sheltron
Makes your block rate 100%
it- wow that tooltip sucks ass
For the duration
yes, raises your block chance to 100%
exactly, i just bought 1 to see how much XP my chocobo gets
which mitigates incoming damage by a calculated amount
no
or the whole duration
For the duration
for the duration
okidoke
Its 100% block rate for 6s
important to not confuse with Intervention which is a simple mitigator
The onions are expensive because they don’t give exp directly. Instead they raise your chocobo’s level cap by one if they’re at level 10 or higher. Up to a max of 20.
oh nice so i'd need 10 onions, which is like 1.5kk on my server
Only thing arms length assumes is that you have knowledge of the difference between slow and heavy in this game
Tbh you just have to remember paladins have a passive block chance
Then its not so bad
you can get xp by feeding it food right, would it be wise to do that or just fight mobs
Vegetables roots and stuff give exp. Fruits are for changing the color of their feathers. Onions are for level cap. Feeding your chocobo while they’re stabled is a nice passive way to do it if you’re not actively doing fates or whatever. Either way works fine.
gotcha thanks
later on you get a trait that increases Sheltron's duration to 9s
also PLD used to have an attack that was procced by a block but that was removed
Shelltron starts at 4 and the trait goes up to 6 sec
oh nvm then
Anyone else been having the same issue sometimes with the lighting on the hair? It happens and I don't remember it being there, sometimes it appears when I am going in shadow areas, some other times it doesn't appear. I haven't noticed it in other games, what do you think?
For those who don't understand the issue, notice the hair in the edges, it is glowing.
That just looks like aliasing to me
Could be, yeah, since, I decreased it a couple of days ago, thanks.
does it happen with dark hair?
Does Waist gear not actually show on your character?
It does not
Thanks for clarification
@leaden ginkgo what's the coat in that picture anyway?

How does one obtain the Lost Allagan gearsets?
the hunt seals in rhalgrs
or kugane
White mage question- should i spam cure 1 and only using cure 2 when freecure procs? It seems like it happens so rarely
lol ok
Freecure is a noob trap
^
You want GCD efficiency
it does seem kinda useless
Once you have C2, you'll rarely, if ever, use C1 outside of low-synced content.
I mean, when you first get C2 you don't have infinite mana
But once you get Lucid Dreaming you're fine.
ok cool I thought it was supposed to be like BLM firestarter but it's clearly not
just think of it as, why would you cast C1 twice when you can cast C2 once
Or cast 2 cure 2s in the same time it takes
I basically only ever use C1 if I need to get a heal off on a tank to keep them alive long enough for one of my ogcds to come up.
And 2.5s is going to be too long.
No
Different uses, but you're also not going to use Medica a whole lot because it has limited range and you'll have better options later on.
!action Cure 3
!action Cure III
gd kupo bot being all technical about ability names...
Ah ok I do have cure 3. I wasn't sure when to use it but it makes sense I could stay back and still heal multiple ppl
!action afflatus rapture
You shouldn't be in narina
The safest place to be in a boss fight is on the bosses ass
Honestly, nobody should ever be in Narnia, especially not the healer.
always be on the boss's ass
As a healer, your best location is somewhere central to the group's formation.
The ass is safe

Just so i'm always in range?
yeah
healing everyone is your priority, but healing the tank is your top priority
When they're dropped under people
And "central" also typically means "not in front of the boss getting yeeted by tankbuster cleaves"
Ok. Healer is hard lol
Being on the bosses ass means:
You're in range to heal everyone
You're in range for buffs
You help keep baited aoes in one location
Stack mechanics are centralised
Cool thanks
Best way to level fishing?
Around what point do the first new set of jobs unlock? I've been playing Thaumaturge, level 25 right now and am a little bored with the rotation of it. I'd like to at least push towards the first unlock before starting over and leveling a new job
Is diadem an option?
You can swap classes are doing your lv10 class quests
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
Is the sole purpose of NG+ to get the dialogues and cutscenes ? No experience or gear or anything ?
Correct
Correct
diadem is an option, but tbh ocean fishing is generally going to be more productive even though the boat only runs every 2 hours @tawny hatch
The trial is supposed to have all content up through heavensward I believe. I'll try to push to 50 before changing
You just need to do MSQ and your job quests to be able to pick up other jobs. You don't have to get to 50 or anything.
I wanted to try it but I don't see myself going through it all for nothing
The point is just so you can play the story again
I want to NG+ the Ivalice story at some point because I skipped quite a few cutscenes, I was in a hurry.
NG+ is basically like, if you wanted to play specific quests through with a friend without making a new character to play with them, you can do NG+
You don't get rewards, but you'll be able to do the same quests with them.
You guys have friends ?
Or just redoing a solo instance you like
Or getting back to a spot you can't re enter
Yeah. They all live in Canada for some reason though.
Can I just do diadem in the downtime between ships?
Is that the best option?
leves and collectables would honestly be better
^
especially for fsh
you could also just go through your fishing log and work on filling it
diadem is not bad exp, but the bulk of the exp is coming from fishing up fish, which generally that exp is not amazing
collectables and leves you are sort of double dipping, in that you're getting the exp from fishing itself and turning in the collectable/leve
and the turn in exp is going to better than what you get from fishing itself
does any one knows an website similar to xivstyle? that website is no longer so I need an replacement
eorzea collection
#glamour-discussion pins
they imported the xivstyle gallery
I don’t think they inported everything
they imported most of it
