Just plug a keyboard in
Or git gud with ps4 typing
But yeah, if everyone knows that the group exists to learn and improve then there's hardly any communication necessary. But a keyboard should still be within reach
They come cheap these days after all

Hmm
The only person stopping you is you
Right.
Just do it.jpg
The leader doesn't always have to teach, sometimes you get people who already done it
Coming to help you
Cause god knows raiders have nothing else to do
We say late into the tier but realistically you've got 6 months to learn still
Before 6.0
If anything this community has a rep to be pretty new player friendly. Which is of course an exaggeration because people do have expectations and people can be assholes but in general they are nicer than elsewhere on the internet
Yeah. Still a Looong way to go before endwalker
I’ll muster up the courage to start a static. Not now though. Tests going on
cypher really said ‘everyone has good in them except this one bastard ‘ lmao
it was me
No need to start a group but you can start by adding people you liked playing with into a cross world linkshell
That's how most statics start tbh
Just people who like playing together and eventually you happen to have 8 of them
Baby steps
Hi everyone, im a level 37 toon, level 10 carpenter, level 3 fisher, and now i wanna do Culinary. Says im level 1, so i have talked to the guildmaster at some point before, but when i click on the chef to get "My First Skillet" its red, and says "this quest not available, Need class job CUL. what do i do ? the guildmaster receptionist isnt talking to me anymore
if they already gave you the skillet you need to equip it
its not in my inventory, i must ave sold it
How do I disable pressing L1 to follow (I think)? It’s been a nuisance for a long time and I want to put a stop to it
and the guild supplier arent selling any unfortunately
east hawkers alley?
Thank you! 😄
There are a lot of "guilds" I can join. Any downside to joining them all? Can I even join them all? I assume they're mini-grinds of their own, like fishing, cooking, etc?
Does any of it transfer between your characters like how main story can be skipped on a newly made one?
What’s some good unsynced content I can solo through for mounts and some good looking armour
Main story can't be "skipped" on subsequent characters
These guilds are just other jobs you can play on one character
arr/hw ex trials for mounts
Where do I unlock them
Also is there a wiki list for these mounts that are unlockable
!faq contentunlock
Content unlock
Mount stuff
@little swift Is there a benefit playing other jobs on one character? I assume going for trophies and achievements it's easier to amass everything on one?
There's no reason not to level everything if that's what you're interested in.
I might want to play as a white mage or something later, or tank, etc. Just curious how you'd divide the side-questing among each new character. All guild stuff on main and just level the new one to have diversification?
Not sure what RP is, sorry.
Oh
So basically, I can do EVERYTHING, including change jobs on one single character?
Yes
Ye
Yee
Holy shit that's smart...
Eureka question! Well, relic question..... Are the Pagos relics purchaseable as a replica for glam if I finish it all the way to hydatos
Yes, you get the replica after upgrading it to pyros
gooooood. because the hydatos weapons are fugly 😛
I can’t solo SB stuff?
The
sidequests aren't really worth it for xp. Only MSQ really has value from that standpoint.
Sidequests aren't good for leveling anthrax
Replica guy is on the port in kugane, near the lockpicker guy
I need to carry 1 relic through this god forsaken content so I can get the final armor sets that I really want, but I don't want any of the hydatos weapons. lol
People pick up additional jobs to try a different role or playstyle, or just because they're bored and want to do something different for awhile.
BUT.... that pyros SMN book....
Your sanity (and time) or your cool relic. You can only choose one. 😄
It all starts with one job. And you finish the msq, and learn the endgame flow, and get geared, then you're like.... Man I want to be a samurai. So you do that. Then you're like, hey let's try out crafting.... And some gathering to support it.
Then before you know it your character looks like this
the amazing part that I think sets the game apart from wow and other mmo's, there's so much content you CAN do if you feel like you want to, there's very very little you NEED to do
outside of keeping up with the msq
Bottom floor of the adventurer's guild, where Mother Miounne and the Innkeeper are.
One of the NPCs will let you in to the airship area iirc
If I have the game on ps4 with all the expansions and get just the base game on pc, what happens?
you wont be able to access anything beyond the base game on pc
and if you logged out in an expansion area on ps4 and try to log in on pc you will not be able to
Ok I've only played up to hw so that won't be a problem but will I be level capped again and what happens to the expansions jobs I have?
As in would I now only be able to level my jobs up to 60?
Is anyone else having weird fps drops every now and then ?

@raw granite once per session mine dips down to 20 for about 2 minutes , no idea why but it's not a big deal for me
it's way more often than that for me and it's a bit of a pain in the ass, yeah
CPU gpu bottleneck?
I did the rank-up quest for the sylphs to Trusted, but I only got two extra quests. I have enough allowances, no other sylph quests active etc. Is it a design thing?
is this item rare or something? i got it from castle and it sells for 1mil+ on MB O_O
The second to last rank does not give bonus dailies like before.
Try turn your fans on to full speed. While keeping "recommended power setting" for the pc. That keeps my FPS stabilised @raw granite
not super rare, just in demand and ppl are lazy
Which is strange because I did get bonus dailies. It's just two.
That's very strange then I have no idea 😅
@low lark downstairs, at the reception area u should be able to be granted to leave
If you are on that quest that is
What's the name of the quest?
Im currently still in ARR, apart from the following, are the stuff that j should be doing daily?
- hunts
- beast tribe
- cactpot
Dungeons are good xp maker @upper cove
Depends on what kind of content you want
There's grand company deliveries but once your crafters/gatherers go past level 50 they'll be impossible til heavensward
Im trying to avoid farming too much exp for now! My first jib is 60, (on free trial cap), and my next 2 are 56 and 52. I want to avoid levelling a 4th class to do the msq so I don't waste exp
Well stay clear of roulettes then 😄
That being said, I do use the roulette to get some tombs
Ah yes GC turn ins, some of them are really though to crank out HQ though
Tough*
And what's your current objective for that quest?
I havent been diligent on my GC turn in but I havent gotten A HQ yet
But tbh wasted xp is not that much of an issue. Leveling an alt is dang fast in this game and your first job gets all it needs via msq
Then just que for Howling eye
I agree! My MSQ has been moving at a snails pace because of side stuff.
Then do that. You don't need to go to the landing. Just open duty finder to queue for it. It will put you where you need to be after you finish it.
I just can't stand knowing I'm wasting a lot of good exp 😅
@low lark there you have it.
Fair enough 😄
Besides its really fun trying out different jobs
You never have to
Patch msq turn ins should be low enough that your alt jobs will stay below 60 probably so just power through msq to hw would be my recommendation
@low lark 
The "entrance" just opens the duty finder. You can open it from almost anywhere.
Doing that right now as soon as I clear the 'dailies'. Really want the beast tribe mounts
Tbh only the kobold have a nice mount but fair enough
I would recommend completing ARR msq then so you can start HW and get access to Ishgard. You can pick up 3 new jobs there (DRK, MCH and AST) which all start at lvl 30
So you can dump your xp there
Noted!
Arr is long expansion, I'm enjoying it, but I really want to see what the other expansions are like. So many quests, go here, go there, talk to him and return. I wish I could ave started at HW expac instead ;)
It's a bit annoying because these are the only 3 expansions jobs that require you to actually start the coresponding expansion msq to get
If you really really like the game you could buy the full version + expansions to unlock red mage and Samurai starting at 50 and dancer and gunbreaker starting at 60,also moving the level cap to 80
I spend all my money on teleports. Most important time saver. Without those I don't know if I could cope
ARR beast tribes don't give bonus dailies, they only give a new npc with 3 new quests. why its giving you only 2 is weird
Yeah first expansion syndrome
Sage has been confirmed to start in limsa iirc
Everyone would lose their shit if they suddenly require you advance to that point in the msq again. Especially since it's now a few more expansions in 😄
Putting an ew job in a hw area would be reasonable imho considering the lv70 req
Still unnecessarily annoying
How long does it take to complete ARR ? I have two weeks off now, I'm level 37. Happy to play maybe 8 hours a day, mainly MSq.
You'll be done in that length of time probably
Depends how much time you spend on side content
I'll skip it all, most of it
Lmao what the hell is happening in this hildibrand side quest
I can always return to do em later ?
Yup
If you ignore side content you'll be done in less than a week
Good
A lot. I will say no more.
You just cannot ignore class quests so
Hildi brand is just comedy side content where the developers see how much wild shit they can pull off in engine
Especially considering the first 2 still had ps3 restrictions
I hope Hildi comes back for Endwalker
Launch him at the moon just like back in 1.0
Exactly
I wonder if we'll get alternate edgy catboi for the beast tribe alliance in 5.55(i think)
Something I've been thinking, why do most MMOs charge 15 bucks per month, why not 20, or 5 ? Why is 15 the magic number?
How do you put a price on in game time
Sweet spot of not too much but still profitable?
Probably because market research has shown that that's the number people are comfortable with for the longest amount of time
How’d they reuse the same exact model for that conjurer girl again in this hildibrand side quest
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/531350323567132673/819955890999263272/unknown.png
Does anyone know which bow glamor this is?
That's the final step of the ARR relic
Thanks
Would not recommend doing it yourself
Arr relics are fucking PAINFUL
Even with the "nerfs"
You d have to be insane to do them
Not really
On an unrelated note I only have 8 books left to have done all 10
How long to make them
really i didnt think it was that bad
I mean if you have the time (and braincells) to spare then go for it
while they're tedious, you don't have to "be insane" to do them
Its a long grind but not impossible
It's not hard it's just fucking draining
It's just pretty monotonous
That doesn't mean someone is insane for doing
Hehehe
I did that one at around level 70. Took about a week of casual play I think.
Do most people do them
Keep in mind it was the only relic to do back in ARR
No
Most people do not do them I would say
All relics are grindy regardless of expac
The stats were good back in 2.0 but they're pure glamour items now
I certainly won't, I'd rather shoot myself in the leg
Are they necessary to be OP in upcoming expansions ?
No
Not at all
Each expansion gets its own relic
Absolutely outdated gear
Ok
Only reason to do them now is for glamour
ShB relic will be best by 5.55
And then completely obsolete once 6.0 drops
You'll often see people using the hw relics for glamour, the other ones less so
won't be immediately obsolete with 6.0
like every other expansion, it last until 84/85~
Probably 86/87 considering relic will be 535
It will be obsolete in terms of BiS but yeah, you will get your leveling mileage
no
One question, coming from wow, I could always keep adding the best weapon or ring or whatever I could find to make sure my ilvl was at its highest, yet, at the same time thanks to transmog I could keep the costume I preferred for visual reasons. Do we have that here? I love my toon with her glasses. Yet I keep getting higher "head gear" with better stats. But they look ugly, I want my glasses. Any solution ?
the scaling on EW will probably be similar to shb, but its still 84/85
That's called glamour
Its usually halfway through the story dunegons in 6.0
You didn't change gear in SHB until lv75
Blue bubble quest
Can't remember the name
Or maybe I've just repressed that area mentally
It's a bit more convenient than WoW's transmog system because you don't need an NPC to glam yourself. You can just do it yourself
Hey there o/
I want to buy Shadowbringers but in the shop they only sell the complete edition or Heavensward+ Stormblood+ Shadowbringers. No way to just get shadow ?
@warm snow so, if I glamour my glasses do they become my visual appearance yet my "head" slot in could have "iron hockey helmet" as example. Is that correct
Question: I'm gonna make my first character and I LOVE the heavy armor the "Gladiator" wears when you check the jobs. But since I never fancied tanking is there any other job that wears similar heavy looking armor?
Base game includes heavensward and shadowbringers includes stormblood
All tanks wear the same armour
Shadowbringers isn't sold by itself
Aside from a few job specific sets
Its always in a set with Stormblood
And since its a linear story you need to beat heavensward to get into stormblood and so on and so forth
You couldn't just buy Shadowbringers anyway anymore
Dragoon can have some reasonably heavy looking armor, but I dunno if it'll be the kind you are looking for like the tanks have
if you're not a big fan of tanking, could go with dragoon. they have "tankier" looking armour for dps @prisma summit
dragoon often has similar models to the tank gear
@warm snow do you have to beat ARr to do Hw ?
Yes
I have already have Heavensward and stormblood
Yeah, dragoon sets often look like slightly lighter tank sets
Oh! Thanks! I'm gonna give that a try then. ❤️
Hey guys, I'm going through the Resistance weapon quest, as an AST, I just got iLVL 500 weapon "Solstice Recollection". Just makijg sure, is this the furthest I can go at the moment?
Thanks! 🙂
Why can't we choose from which expansion to start?
Arr is Good but Fuck me it's long
I'm assuming you bought sb a while back in which case you'll have to buy shb
because the game is linear
Because its a ff game and the story is linear
Because its all one story
Because the main story ties together and they want you to experience it in the right order
I bought it in 2018
Things wouldn't make sense if you did that
@glossy flare ok
No, there's more after that
Arr is the 1-50 content, hw is the 51-60, sb 61-70 etc
Thank you, can you advise me on what the quest name is and where to pick it up?
You need to hit rank 10 in the bozja southern front and beat castrum lacus litore in those side quests
I’m leveling an alt and I can’t get the Bird in Hand quest to show up. I am lvl. 32 and have completed My Feisty Little Chocobo. FC house w/ stables and everything. What do I do?
Oh... Welp, time to start on Bozjan.
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Thank you guys kindly
I think you'll need to have caught up on msq, see above
Free trial is great, but I miss being able to chat to people. After all it's an MMO. Yet, at lvl37 it would be a waste not to keep using free trial to lvl 60 right? But yeah, it's a single player game right now for me
Not necessarily
@open ember elaborate plz
Depends on how much the restrictions bother you and if you REALLY love the game
But I have done all that
Estelle is the name of a Swedish Princess btw
Honestly, a lot of XIV is a single player game. Which is by design
Enough to buy it before lv60
@rough fossil did you talk to luquelot himself? he offers another side quest so the one you want may not be showing on the map due to that
Wait no my mistake, sorry
I mean you can still talk on trial
@glossy flare ok
Oh aha that's cute
Yeah Luq isn’t giving any quests
@remote lintel no you can't ?
You don't have to pay sub while you're on trial
Except partys
hm sure you haven't done it already?
you can use /say
You can talk on free trial just only use say chat
@remote lintel is that proximity or zone or map ?
proximity
Yeah I try to stable my chocobo and it says I’m not trained in chocobo raising
Zone is shout
Thank you kindly
you need to do the quest which starts at camp tranquil, afaik 'my feisty little chocobo'
any chance it might be in your journal and you forgot you picked itup?
Looked it up and need Bird in Hand > Chocobo Raising
I have completed My Feisty Little Chocobo
The music that plays when you ride the chocobo.
proper Japanese humour , I loved it, but had to turn it off for mental reason
Are you sure you're not confusing it for "My Little Chocobo" ?
Ah well have to run now. I’ll stew on this more later. Thanks for trying, though
And yes, it’s in my completed quests list and he can fight and everything
It's the chocobo theme of every FF game there is. if they would have gone with anything different there would have been riots
@glossy flare it's adorable. But can be immersion breaking depending on situation. Haha it's a full blown party
Hysterical even
The mounts that drop from extreme trials all play the boss music
Which can be uhh... funky
other mounts from the mogstation have their own themes as well
So, is the chocobo an ostrich ?
ostrich inspired at least but it's its own bird
Ok
Funfact: 1.0 had no Chocobo riding which was often cited as a con to the game
Tells you how much FF fans love their chocobos
Indeed ☺️
I mean that was one of many problems with 1.0
Yeah, not the biggest offender. 😄
Is there a deeper lore behind chocobo ? Or just preferred vessel of transportation. Like, in ff universe, was chocobo its own game or anything ?
It's the FF equivalent of a horse essentially
kinda
sort of
Ok
horses also exist
they're just big birds
So no lore attached?
It's just a beast of burden. Easy to domesticate and good for hauling things and people.
Besides being a FF thing, not really
They're iconic ff creatures
Ok
Well, and bentbranch being the major breeding hub for all things chocobo
square enix just thinks it would be fun to ride birds
They know bird is indeed the word
Ah, so it's a gimmick basically. No serious history or lore attached. They have always been there and always will that pretty much it
They look nice
wouldn't call it a major breeding hub per se
basically kintobe
its on the track to being one, but most of the chocobo breeding is done in ishgard
@remote lintel gotcha
This applies to a lot of the recurring creatures in the FF series.
They just exist. Don't worry about it.
No lore ?@strange coral
*major breeding hub after the calamity for the main 3 city states after ishgard closed off its borders again
This line of questioning is just like "Why are dragons big lizards?"
There is no factual reason, it's just how it is
Ok
Ain't a FF game without chocobros
there are certain things that are staples to the franchise, like chocobos, characters named Cid, NPCs named after star wars characters, etc.
they're just the substitute for horses
Just curious and fascinated of this ff universe
Airships named enterprise
there's a LOT of references to other FF games in XIV
They just do these recurring things so fans turn into that one Leo meme
theres a lot of music references as quest names
You can even tell when one of the writers has had a certain phase
that actually made me smile and laugh cuz i like that movie
Like with all the Hamilton references in Stormblood
Are there any hero characters that have been in every ff game. As a red thread sort of speak. Or is it, as I understand , each game is its own unique toons ?
the warrior of light
Moggle :)))))
The summons
most FF games are separate universes
The summons to an extent, though they are technically their own character in each game
@scarlet arrow ok
They just share names and traits
Also a lot of FF games have a guy named Cid who is an engineer
not the same guy every time though, just the engineer of the game who is named Cid
More like fan service
not really
There really is no overarching plot between FF games
Ok
Biggs and Wedge is a shout-out from star wars which just kinda ended up in every subsequent games
later in the series they started introducing games that were direct sequels
Yeah, sometimes you have a few games that share a world and/or storyline
But they also tend to share numerals
Like Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2
there is no Final Fantasy X-2 <.< -.-
the numbered final fantasy games are part of the "mainline" games iirc
amen
there are also some games that are designed to be compilations, like the Dissidia series and Final Fantasy Record Keeper
Bottom line: There are a lot of games, yo
^
is DRG hard to play?
no
seems like a lot of animations and positions
no
is it a pretty fun class?
DRG has a rather static rotation
or is it boring
I think it's fun
fun is subjective
the animations are smooth
so i just got miner to lvl 80 what's the endgame right now?
sure
I mean I like it but that's no guarantee you will
I like jumping around and poking people with a spear so I say it's fun
Just my opinion though, I know people who hate drg
I want a class that has a lot of mobility, and is able to weave a lot of skills between the GCD - is that DRG?
and would SMN be better for that?
dragoon doesn't double weave a lot iirc
the jumps are single weave
because their animations are longer
Get HQ Aesthete's or White Scrip gear, if Aesthete's you want to meld up to the minimum stats needed for certain breakpoints
not double-weaving but they have a fair number of oGCD attacks
Could try NIN if you are partial to melee dps
They have mobility and are generally fast paced during trick attack
smn has a lot of double weaving I guess
forgot NIN was a thing lol
cool cool, do you get white scrips from the collectible turn ins? like the yellow scrips?
NIN is fun as long as you don't mind being Naruto
the thing that sucks about FFXIV is that you can't trial classes at max level to see if youd like it. The leveling experience is so slow that you would have to put in days of play time before seeing a class's true potential
NIN is pretty chill until Trick Attack comes up. Then you try to fit as many skills as you can into that one window. Then it gets chill again until the next TA window
Basically.
Sounds like you might like that to me
DRG armor looks so cool tho which is a big reason i wanna try lol
I'd try to find videos online that show class mechanics
then play it
I mean, again, I think DRG is fun
It has longer combos than the other melee jobs which I like
alright let me check it out, might switch to fishing since im getting tired of hitting rocks though. thanks @slate arrow
@copper warren fishing and being a cook goes hand in hand (I think) I'm on that path

if you're going to level crafters you should level them all together
there really aren't that many fish related dishes in cul's recipe list
@little swift why not ?
it just so happens though that this expansion's crafter food as a decent amount of seafood
Fsh is also used for a few alchemist recipes
why? because they designed the recipes that way
Ok
fish aren't the only meat ingredient in the world
there's other meats and stuff still
what do people mean when they criticize AST for hardcasting helios?
depends on the situation
why is red mage so popular?
you shouldnt really need to except for horoscope or something
AST ISN'T DPSING, OPTING TO HARDCAST HELIOS AND ASPECTED HELIOS TO KEEP ME FULL. 90% HP? ESSENTIAL DIGNITY, KEEP THAT SHIT ON CD. FINE, WHATEVER. I MOSTLY PLAY HEALER SO I WANT TO GIVE HER SOME TIPS BUT KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT BECAUSE MAYBE SHE'S PANICKING, I DON'T KNOW.
I understand why the rest is bad
they're aoe healing in a single target situation
don't understand the hardcasting helios part
Easy to play caster with great dmg, utility and aesthetics
they're also not using their free ogcd tools first
i see ty
this is from the reddit f-you fridays isn't it
Yes
I like to read it because it has great tips
on not what to do
yes so basically the OP is pointing out how the AST in their post isn't using ogcds to heal them
i'm assuming this is a dungeon situation and they're not properly making use of their ogcd tools
electing to use gcds as their go-to
Yeah I'd also assume this is a dungeon
not only that, they're using aoe gcd instead of the single target
to likely only heal 1 person
huge mana waste
cuz noct aspected helios is good to keep up otherwise
it is not
It's from Amaurot dungeon. Apparently that dungeon is infamous for whatever reason
Had a whm spamming cure 1 in the 77 dungeon. When I said it was bad he said he was an ast main
100% uptime on shields is never necessary
or rather, it can be tough
Does the final boss have an enrage?
yes it does
it does technically have an enrage yes
but everyone has to have their thumbs up their bums to reach it
amaurot is pretty tricky if you have a bad group
highst item level is 510 rn?
Can you do it with trusts?
yes you can
pass the enrage with trust
Amaurot second boss has an enrage, final boss has a soft enrage
Do you have to be dps to pass the enrage with trusts?
not really no
just bumping this because this isn't good advice
trusts are designed to complete the dungeon in like 30mins
its never necessary to upkeep asp helios
you'd need to have both dps on the floor to hit enrage on the last boss
but don't trusts do very low damage
Trusts also have unique skills that their equivalent jobs don't have
no
they do just enough damage
They do singlet target dmg
if a boss of a dungeon have enrage, shouldn't you be one of the dps in a trust
to complete everything
that doesn't mean its low
Thancread can shukuchi, urianger has an instant death etc.
if you force them to pull a lot theyll just start deleting enemies
trusts are designed to be able to complete all of the shb dungeons that you can use them for just fine
just because they are slower than player ran dungeons doesn't mean their dps is shit
its because they use single target dmg in aoe situations
so you can pull wall to wall with trusts?
Will the Valentione attire be on the store permanently?
No, cuz they single target trash pulls and won't sprint with you
I wouldn't, AI isn't super good for that
You can do multiple groups okay ish but wall to walling will probably get you killed
people have done wall to wall with trusts
Can and should
its not exactly fun because again they do single target dmg
Just because you can doesn't mean you should
dyeing the valentione tights changes the red to whatever you dye it, right?
not the black I hope
correct
although the black part isnt an exact match with the black dyes
What's the point of applying for a promotion in the twin adders? I didn't know it'd spend my seals.
It raises your seal cap and gives you access to more items
to be able to buy better stuff and unlock more systems?
gotta hit lieutenant to get housing
glamour prisms, ventures, cordials or coke depending on your market
or was it FC room XD
I think cordial market saturation is still around from last sky builder season but I haven't checked this week
Will also depend on your server
It's all housing
How long should I wait for tonberry to open for character creation
Iirc gc is also the only place you can buy aetheryte points for your house
What's the fastest way to get company seals? FATE quests?
leveling roulette
Is there an in game calender that shows in game events? I don't wanna miss out, also I have ffxiv on Twitter but still.
Get to second class corporal and turn green/blue gear into seals
@upbeat saffron when you log on the purple text will say if theres any ongoing events
but otherwise no
do your grand company hunting log
Events will be in your launcher when you're logging in if they're coming up
@remote lintel allright cool
Where do you turn into seals?
you'll need first two ranks completed anyway for later promotions
@warm snow thank you
They also announce maintenance in the launcher and purple text usually a few days before the actual patch, we already have a date for 5.5 but I can't remember it
april 13
Is this hanging planter obtainable?
i dont think theres furniture that hangs from the ceiling
nier remake on the 23rd
but theres a wall planter
@warm snow at least it max lvl. I won't be experiencing the thrill or joy of a new expansion with all the others for a foreseeable future, that is, if more expacs will come 😩
-it +ur
you have plenty of time to finish shadowbringers before endwalker releases
^
I'm lvl 37 doing arr
EW isn't releasing till probably like, october/november
U really think so
endwalker isnt dropping for at least 6+ months
We don't even have a date for end walker yet and I only started playing last july
Ok, bit more reassured now
I was finished ShB around September October iirc
And I was rushing
So play at your own pace
Ok
Anything that's time locked only really needs level 15 ish
Don't wanna be cheeky, but, any takes when next expansion sales hit ?
who knows
2022
Ok
Minimum
Great....
Depending on how late end walker releases
is the correct term positional or directional
Fall could arguably be as late as Octobe
I wanna commit, but I want 50% off all expansions, preferably 70% if can be
Positional if you mean for melee attacks with position based effecrs
ye okay, I guess I looked a bit silly when I asked the tank to move so I could do directionals but he understood
thanks
I know, my point was that I wouldn't see end walker going on sale only 2 months after release
But then again I'm not hugely experienced with mmo sales that's just my best guess
I thought he was asking when end walker would go on sale
I'll just wait and see then
It'll also depend on where you bought the game
@warm snow nah when the ones before go on sale
Cuz squenix sales are separate to steam sales
I got it from their webpage, not steam
Iirc
Preorder bonuses like the aetheryte earring from ShB, were these released with ShB or before it?
Doing hunts currently. As far as I know there's no real way to spawn FATES corredt?
some fates have prerequsites
There's a few fates in certain areas that are linked but 99% of them are just rng
I'll check them out
I think all the ones for hunts are random though
@pseudo quartz Both random and timed, iirc, so for example the Tempest Fates for the 2nd SHadowbringers World Boss FATEs I've done them many many times through the cycle, got to the 2nd to last one, and then it just starts over without spawning the big boy. But if it was recently killed, there's also a reset time.
the boss fate itself has its own internal CD
but the fates that are part of the chain can and will spawn of their own accord, regardless of whether the final fate can spawn
Ah yeah, makes sense.
As an archer which of these materia is better? Direct Hit Rate +4 or Critical Hit +4?
Also Determination +3
what are the requirements to unlock lvl 80 dungeon roulette?
Beat shadowbringers
done
Then unlock the two post shadowbringers dungeons from 5.0
Beat ShB and have at least two level 80 dungeons unlocked
Nope, akademia is mandatory for example
@torpid juniper it doesnt matter when leveling
You'll need to do blue bubble quests in eulmore and crystarium to unlock them
i have completed ShB, done twinning, done akademia
Oh that's right. Max level roulettes require you have all of the qualifying dungeons unlocked.
So you actually need to complete the MSQ through patch 5.3
awww
Wait, no, 5.2
Yeah, I accidentally unlocked expert before 80 back in 5.3
You mean it doesn't matter early in game? I just get to pick one as a prize
Because the 5.3 and 5.4 dungeons are the ones that are required for Ex roulette.
They're not in 80 roulette.
It won't matter til the endgame
Take whatever is higher ilvl
Almost every job wants more crit if you have to pick between those
Materia are just extra stats, but you replace gear so quickly as you level, there's no reason to focus on anything other than the ones for endgame - the level VII and VIII materia which you can't get until you're into endgame.
Well, ShB.
Because you can get VII in the level 80 MSQ.
This is more of a technical question but.... I have two game windows up. Usually they're fine but sometimes one of the windows will start having very long load times and very low FPS while the other window with the same display settings is still running at 70+ fps. Only way I can get it to resolve is by restarting the client.
Any ideas?
There's a system setting to reduce frame rate when you're not focused on the game window
This is when the game is in focus.
Outside that #technology-discussion will proabbyl know
Is it just me or is the bozja gear extremely mediocre? Getting small haste buffs seems like a really shitty reward for doing stuff like Castrum or DR, let alone DR savage. Am I missing something?
Haste makes spells go brrr
a full set is a significant amount of haste
Even so it doesn’t seem worth the hassle considering haste is only bozja and the ilvl is like what, 495?
yes its 495
thats relevant for basically all casual content
and its fine in bozja since ilvl sync is 430
Although the augmented 510 gear is admittedly a huge pain
And the only way to buff damage via gear
Idk I hope they build upon it in the future because as of now it seems really crap. Like MAYBE if the haste applied outside of bozja but as it stands it seems like a waste of time
That's never happening
they could balance the game around haste being a thing
I want a class that's just for buffing

It's before my time but ast used to be able to do that
I guess I can just do stuff for the challenge for now because the rewards are absolutely mediocre
Remember you need rank 10 minimum to progress your relic

The haste is more a "If you're going to be doing the content THIS much it helps a lot". You don't seem to need it to do a relic or two. But if you're doing a ton of them, it definitely makes a different.
Having done... lessee... all classes to recollection, 2 to Augmented Law's Order, and 6 more to regular Law's Order, I can tell you by pure feel it's definitely an impact. Particularly whne using Bloodsucker or beast.
I think I saw somewhere, maybe a sidequest NPC which looked like a fairskin highlander with short white hair and aggressive look I have finished shb idk where she is, any clue?
She is maybe a boss or something idk
Do Trusts give Tomes of Allegory?
when running lvl 80 dungeons, yes
Thank you!
How do I unlock the ability to spend my Tomes of Allegory and Revelation?
complete the main scenario quest "Shadowbringers"
thanks!
how do peoiple make $$ late game
crafting
roulettes give 120k/day
and maps sell for 40-70k on MB
so you can realistically make 150-200k gil per day
i just got the trial on pc and it is taking forever to load in the tutorial, anyone else having this issue? I've reduced graphics but even accepting quests isn't so easy
also if you sell the crafting mats you desynth from dungeon gear, that's another 10-20k / day
best class to solo some dg
any dps job
alright I want to turn in the "Ever Skyward" quest for my BSM crafter relic
but how do I unequip it to turn the item in?
it doesn't allow me
Get a random other weapon
get a cheap lv1 hammer
To equip

hey guys, my alchemist is level 15, i did all the class quests till level 15. I can't find any leves for alchemist in limsa for some reason though. I have leves for my culinarian and all. Could someone please tell me how i can unlock leves for alchemist?
wtf?
level 15 levequests are in aleport
i belive the levequests in limsa are 20 or 25
how would one go about playing on PS4/5 (with audio) and voice chatting on Discord at the same time?
okay I guess
alchemist 1-15 leves are going to be in ul'dah
use mic, maybe?
i want 15+ leves
Use a phone or something
but if I use a phone, how will I hear the game sound?
Anyone want free Shadowbringer code for EU MogStation? (Only works if you got the game from mog station are are from EU) I accidentally bought the wrong thing -_-
Turn the game up on your tv? I hear mine fine with my headphones when I'm using phone
If they're in range they'll be in gpose
Like standing next to them
Otherwise gotta mod it
unless you have the npc physically with you in your gpose
Does square enix allow modding like that ^?
no
oh well then rip
i dont have alchemist levequests available in Limsa and aleport.
shet i mean i still cant find any
Is XIV down for anyone else atm? Was in the middle of a DR run and DCed and now can't get back in
Where can I find some training dummies? Just set up hotbar for a new job and wanted to try it out. I know I've seen them a dozen times but now that I'm looking I can't find any 🙂
summerford farms, bentbranch meadows
Summerford farms
most FC's have one at the FC house too
^ @leaden ginkgo
@twilit arch where are the 15-20 ones :3
Thanks! Haven't found summerford farms but Ihave a aetheryte link at bentbranch
15 is i n ul'dah as i said before
im currently level 48 and confused how do i proceed?
what does the quest say
there are some dummies in the little settlement just north of bentcranch too
Click on it and it says why
you need to be level 49
ahHhhh im so close too ;_;
also, where would I get my first flying mount? I just unlocked the ability to use them but so far all I have is the ground-bound chocobo
do some fates
tyvm youre a god.
Just do some fates or something
@hollow violet all mounts fly
I think for the mount question, dont you need to finish the heavensward main quest?
you can fly in ARR zones upon completion of the 2.0 MSQ
Oh.. awesome thanks! It said 'movement: terrestrial' so I didn't even consider it
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
but yes all mounts fly, regardless of whether or not they look like they should 😛
It was changed in 5.3 to be after beating 2.0
Oooh so tahts the quest im working on too!
would queing up for a duty dungeon be enough to level me up to 49?
Definitely
I could get a instant que as scholar
yes
ill do taht then!
Or just do some fates
if its close to your level yes
although you probably dont need to take that long of a time
FATEs in northern thanalan will be fastest
Just chain some fates or something
i just did a duty que
I got into a dungeon in like .05 seconds healer ques are scary fast it almost makes me not want to play summoner anymore ^^;;
on that note im 49 now! 😄
That's just healers vs dps ques in general
I heard tanks get in even faster
But as dps i had to wait like a min of if im lucky, 11 minutes, and unlucky 14
Alright so I am trying to craft stuff for my Anima, does the Adamanite Francesca have to be HQ?
i think i may level up a tank job too
I get a whopping 2000 serpent seals from the daily roulette
you need 4
What tank spec is the best currently?
ah gotcha
wym spec
sorry job
all of them
WoW player still getting used to ff
idk where i'd be without this channel im genuinely so blind and dumb lol
play whatever
Maruders are the base tank job currently right?
no
my WHM is 59 about to hit 60 and still wearing ironworks gear. is augmented shire the set i want to get at 60?
all jobs in each role are about equivalent to each other
there is no meta job/class in ffxiv
@celest hollow yes
Sorry when i meant "Base" I mean, where do I go to become at ank xD
it's random
because i heard to be a summoner you had to be arcanist so Im going through the same reasoning here
Msq required may have more possibilitites
because most people get into duties through roulettes
syrcus tower is a good instance to run to try and grab first timer bonus
queues are quick, instance itself is quick, good chance of new players
whichever one they think looks cooler
After doing roulette and the sticker book, what are the best ways of farming poetics?
paladin has a magic dps phase later and warrior stays unga bunga axe spam
spam the ARR trials (HM)
HM?
Hard mode (HM
So is warrior more begginer frienndly?
they give good poetics?
theyre both beginner friendly
no, but first time bonus does
tanks are easy
can confirm
the arr primal trials take 2 minute to complete
im bad at games and tanks been pretty fun
really?
I thought tanking was on eof the most challanging specs in the game and requires knowing alot of mechanics
which one is the titan one? is it legit called that
Poétics there is a dungeon in HW that gives 150, and its Not long
it really doesnt
if you make a mistake as a tank and get hit you probably wont die because tank privilege
the navel
it only gives 150 first time though right?
queue for navel
No, always
alright, making a tank it is!
I think ill go dark knight it looks cool
But its in HW, so no t yet for you
aetherochemical research facility
I have done all MSQ
is the dungeon that gives 150 poetics per run
you know the name?
Its a msq one with high poetics
^
^
tanks and healers are easier roles than dps
im new and tanking just fine can confirm lol
it might be faster to do arr trials for the poetics, if that's all you're interested in
im lvl 16 Lancer in Limsa Lominsa and i did the prerequisite quest to Talk to the Rogue guild guy but his quest is still Red.
u get 80 poetics with the navel if u get first t imer bonus
which is quite frequent since it's an msq trial
If you get first timer bonus for sure
Spam PostARR trials its also a good choice
@compact prism did you do your lvl 10 class quest
@remote lintel i have no idea i thought that was part of the main quest
no
no
job quests are separate
welp
they appear under your msq tracker in the top left

you MUST do them because they give you essential skills
job quests are arguably a higher priority than your MSQ
^
But dont do them early cause some has spoilers (one of DRK has at least)
they dont have spoilers
Does it mean anything when enemies have purple names?
did you get your poetics yet?
alliance raids are fine
Im still foggy on something
What’s parse mod ? Is it safe to use ?
can you unsync arf for poetics?
you will get the reward if someone else in your duty party is first timer
it doesn't matter who is first timer
Only 20?
no, it just means you've completed that instance
everyone in the party gets first timer bonus
For that one
that's all the checkmark indicates
as long as there is a first timer
@modest igloo only first time bonus
So I will always get 20 for completing Ala Mhigo for example?
ah
Yes
minimum, likely more
And is the first time bonus always the same?
because you will have first timers in your party
Every instance gets the baseline minimum. First time bonus varies by instance type and level.
Alright thanks
You won't always have a first timer in the instance thats just not true
So what was a good one to grind for Poetics? ARR trials?
Aetherochemical Research Facility
^
Because it gives no loot
Is that a dungeon?
Yes
Only poetics
What expac
An optional dungeon
Yes lv60 dungeo. Hw
what are ways to make money in this game without crafting?
Do you get it via MSQ or elsewhere
arf isn't optional.
It's a 
its the first lvl 60 msq dungeon you do
Gotcha, nice one
This doesn't cement it as fact snack
treasure maps, selling stuff gotten from ways other than crafting
arf doesn't have a hard mode
Then what one am I thinking of?
you're most likely think of fractal
Oh
Oh I have it. nice
Yes
You'd be thinking of fractal continuum
never said it was guaranteed, i literally said minimujm 20 poetics, likely more
That would make much more sense.
Could I solo it at level 80?
And everytime I will get that reward?
because you will have first timers in your party
if you wanting poetics tho, soloing isn't going to do you any good as you don't get the dungeon's poetics unsync
Yeah I know about the first timer bonus
you only get first timer bonus
