remote lintel
#

oh you mean actual in game guilds

oblique yew
#

are FC usually made with random people from the game?

#

or from people they know irl?

remote lintel
#

they can be made with random people or by people who know each other

slate arrow
#

They're made with whoever. Random friends, random people, random invitees,

delicate field
#

People recruit in public chat

covert berry
#

nvm me

oblique yew
#

can i join FC of other worlds?

slate arrow
#

no

#

your FC 'slot' is taken up by the <Wanderer> status when you world visit

#

no matter it's state

delicate field
#

@oblique yew guilds/FC in games is basically like belonging to a group of like minded friends that hang out together, chat and enjoy the games content

oblique yew
#

idk why, but in my 275hrs of playtime i have hardly seen these FC recruitments

slate arrow
#

Japan is... very different when it comes to these sorts of things

delicate field
#

They spam it in Limsa once in a while

slate arrow
#

We're talking from a mostly NA perspective

oblique yew
#

oh

#

yeah

#

makes sense

#

i dont even know why i picked japan man

delicate field
#

Lol do yoy speak japanese??

oblique yew
#

I am from India, so i thought japan would have less ping issues for me

#

nope

slate arrow

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

#

LOL that sounds challenging

toxic glen

Depends on how your internet is routed because I thought the same thing but nope

Why the ff14 dx11.exe file getting detected as a virus....first time this happened to me ever lol

oblique yew

fml

europe, 128ms
jp, 260ms

remote lintel

did you let it through your firewall

safe birch

I never had to before but I guess I’ll do that

you're basically just south of europe lol

oblique yew

there's no datacenter transfer of characters right?

its just home world transfer

remote lintel
#

there is

frosty falcon
#

so i have a friend who just started and has less free time to play than i do. we ran sastasha together today for the first time, it was great. now she's a 21 CNJ. I want to be able to keep playing with her as she levels and advances msq. obviously for dungeons i can just bring a higher level job and get scaled down, but what about when she's just doing stuff in the world? at first i thought i would just keep up with her on a new job of my own, but she levels much much faster than i do and i have to constantly try to catch up on my own time. is there an easier or better solution that i'm missing?

delicate field
#

You gotta pay real cash

slate arrow
#

18 dollars, and you can't transfer to congested servers

slate arrow
safe birch
remote lintel
#

just play on the higher level job?

frosty falcon
#

and one-shot everything?

slate arrow
#

I mean, most of what happens in the overworld is set to be character only, Solo Instance, or dungeons

#

I think, anyways.

#

the MSQ is mostly solo outside of dungeons anyways

covert berry
#

so many blues quests at lvl50 to do ahhhhhhhhhhh

At least your up early starting the grind, 🙂

@leaden ginkgo the quest "precious reclamation" in the doman enclave

Awesome thanks~~

covert berry
#

what is a cross-world linkshell?

#

a random guy invited me

remote lintel
#

a private chat

covert berry
#

is it ok to accept?

worthy pumice
#

@twilit arch Do you know what the bench is will all the little pieces in the bottom left hand corner of the housing image that Jonathan sent?

remote lintel
#

depends what the chat is for

#

its up to you

twilit arch
#

looks like a woodworking bench clipped thru something else

#

but not sure what its clipped thru

#

probably a blank partition dyed black if i had to guess

worthy pumice
#

Does Anyone know how to get the Elemental Armor of Fending as well as the Deep Gold Wings of Fending?

twilit arch
#

elemental armour requires you to do eureka

remote lintel
#

deepgold is from merchant in il mheg

twilit arch
#

deep gold wings of fending are crafted item, and can be bought from vendors in il mheg

worthy pumice
#

Bro how do you know all this shit

#

:o

quasi flame
#

what's the longest you've had to wait for a data center transfer? can I still play my character while I wait?

remote lintel
#

usually takes a few minutes and no

quasi flame
#

I have to wait 90 days wtf

obsidian patio
#

Because you started on a preferred world

#

The wait is 90 days so you can’t abuse the EXP buff

quasi flame
#

rip

#

there should be an option to relinquish your buff if you want to transfer from a preferred world lol

#

if that's the only reason

sullen lark
#

I'm in the Bozjan front, went to the area for Third Time's the Charm, and I just get hit for 35% of my health by one of the mobs there

#

How am I supposed to do this quest?

#

Am I supposed to sneak around to avoid aggro?

silver ruin
#

yes

#

like, walk(unverified personally if this works but ive heard this from a few people) or use lost stealth

sullen lark
#

Guessing Ninja hide doesn't work?

silver ruin
#

not sure, i dont have ninja levelled

twilit arch
#

where is that one exactly?

#

is that the middle section of bozja to the far right?

sullen lark
twilit arch
#

ok

sullen lark
#

It's up here

twilit arch
#

then you can either walk or wait for day time

#

because those mobs only spawn at night

sullen lark
#

Oh okay, thanks

#

I'll just walk in there then

#

I didn't even have walk bind to any key lol

#

Always thought it was just for RP purposes

twilit arch
#

doesn't happen very often but there are mobs that aggro based on sound

#

so walking near them means you're less likely to aggro them

scarlet sandal
#

This is probably going to sound stupid but do you have to do a euerka relic to do BA at all

honest tusk
#

Does buying shadowbringers provide any huge exp bonuses when leveling your first character?

oblique yew
#

what is this palace of the dead?

little swift
#

buying the game does not provide any exp bonuses

mellow rover
#

where can i get good staffs for thm around level 35?

honest tusk
#

thanks @little swift

little swift
#

palace of the dead is a roguelite dungeon crawler that is used as an alternate means to level dps jobs but also as a challenge for some people

#

keep playing msq and use what you can get

#

leveling dungeons give you a piece of gear that is suitable for your role when you complete it so you could theoretically do the lv34 dungeon for a piece of gear

steep vine
#

Hello, how do I get my GNB relic weapon?

obsidian patio
#

Complete the stormblood alliance raid storyline and then start the quest “hail to the queen” in Kugane

shut panther
#

Like the best way to level, which you need to do to get to the cap to do ba, is also the best way to generate relic progress

scarlet sandal
#

Im lv 29 paogs quest havent started any relic stuff yet

shut panther
#

You probably have a bunch of the currency that relics need

#

Unless you've been strictly doing the challenge log to level

scarlet sandal
#

Yeah pretty much

toxic glen
#

For MCH is the goal to use Gauss rounds as much as possible or not to ever cap either Gauss and Ricochet?

shut panther
#

Ah, well if you're doing it that way I guess you wouldn't

scarlet sandal
#

Or I can just get to the very end and then work on a relic

shut panther
#

But yeah, it's not necessary at all to do BA

scarlet sandal
#

I just want ozma

shut panther
#

If anything I'd recommend buying the Eureka chest from mb if you've got Gil

#

Makes the entire leveling process a bit less painful

scarlet sandal
#

What's it called

shut panther
#

Uhh

#

There's a vendor near the npc that brings you into eureka

proud willow
#

the Vermillion Cloak?

shut panther
#

He trades Vermillion cloak and kirins osode

#

Buy the material you need to trade from mb

#

Based on your class

#

You can also buy them directly but that's usually much more expensive for reasons I don't completely understand

scarlet sandal
#

Remind me when the tsukiyomi glamour came out

#

The materials are way more expensive than just buying the weapon

shut panther
#

The glowy versions?

#

5.3

scarlet sandal
#

Yeah

#

Is there any other pieces to this or is it just a body

shut panther
#

There's a ring and belt you can get on market but they're horribly expensive and absolutely negligible compared to the body

#

Search Cassie and speed belt if you're curious

obsidian patio
#

Earring, not ring. But yeah they tend to be extremely expensive.

scarlet sandal
#

A leg would be nice for matching glam

shut panther
#

Oh right.

crimson gale
#

hey guys, back again with ARR relic lol, so i completed the sword scroll with the 53 nfused materia, now i need another one for the sword? or just one more for the shield? then do same step as sword scroll and give them in?

obsidian patio
#

Yes the shield has its own scroll

crimson gale
#

yeah but i only need 1 completed scroll for the weapon?

obsidian patio
#

You need both to upgrade it to the next step

crimson gale
#

okay thanks :3

#

i just thought sword had like 2 scrolls to complete

#

not just one

fathom ruin
#

Even though I’m in England and my PS4 is set to UK region, my in-game region is coming up defaulted as J with a forced move to E by me. Does anyone know what triggers the region to set in game?

oblique yew
#

the items that are on market board

#

those all can be crafted right?

worthy basin
#

nah some are dropped from dungeons

worthy basin
#

does anyone have a checklist for anima weapon?

obsidian patio
#

!faq anima

zinc orbitBOT
ebon lagoon
#

I have one in Chinese

obsidian patio
#

Continue on the road to that isolated tree in the background

#

That one with green-white leaves by the map

leaden ginkgo
#

how full does this need to be?

toxic glen
#

Completely I think

sullen lark
#

I heard that you no longer have to run 15 Crystal Towers etc for the 515 weapon?

leaden ginkgo
#

how do i know how full it is

obsidian patio
#

All 10 runes glowing brightly

#

The text will also basically say it’s complete/full

leaden ginkgo
#

so fastest way solo?

#

pre shb

obsidian patio
#

Brayflox longstop hard mode

toxic glen
#

Oh yeah you can do castrum lacus litore instead, much faster

#

Get 5 per run instead of Crystal Towers 1

obsidian patio
#

The only one-time step for the newest steps of the relic weapon is the 18 HW/SB 24-mans or SB fates

leaden ginkgo
#

so how many brayflox hard modes will i have to do?

sullen lark
#

Alright, will do once I unlock it

obsidian patio
#

I never kept track of the exact amount but it’ll take a few hours depending on bonus windows

sullen lark
#

it's the res. rank 10 24 man right?

leaden ginkgo
#

Does anyone know what this item is called?

obsidian patio
#

Giant Beaver Burger Set

toxic glen
#

Yeah its a lot I rotated between brayflox and Manor so I wouldnt get so bored

leaden ginkgo
#

so would it be faster to do crystal tower?

obsidian patio
#

Maybe, depends on queue time

leaden ginkgo
#

im going as tank

#

so

#

Thank you!

obsidian patio
#

Fastest group method is doing A9S (Eyes of the Creator - Savage) undersized

#

That only takes an hour or two depending on bonus

toxic glen
#

If you have a dps I would recommend, can clear even faster but its still done fast with tanks

#

Oh wait no you needa be the class that you're weapons for nvm

oblique yew
#

you could also talk to the lift attendant over ther

timid geyser
#

You need to go take the plane to Limsa

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it better to do Doman or ishgardian restoration?

#

ishgard pre 70

#

doman after 70

#

I’m 80 now so

#

Doman?

timid geyser
#

Doman resto gives exp?

leaden ginkgo
#

Lol

#

Fell for your typo

timid geyser
#

lol

#

They are right one next to the other

leaden ginkgo
#

Does it give exp though

#

And what do I get in general for donating my items

agile laurel
#

doman restoration isn't a source of xp

#

it advances its own storyline

#

and unlocks various more items from the vendor, nothing specific

leaden ginkgo
#

So I don’t get anything worthwhile

agile laurel
#

unless you're actively going for something from it, eh?

hoary kayak
#

you get more gil than with vendors though, if you sell/donate your trash

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh

#

Right

timid geyser
#

Like the piss demi materias

left moth
leaden ginkgo
#

Can I sell directly from my retainer or my choco saddlebag?

#

Or should it be in my armoury chest

agile laurel
#

i believe there's also the set that the Kugane samurai guards wear, among others

obsidian patio
#

The items need to be in your inventory to give to the enclave

#

!iglam Yanxian’s Merchant Haori

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

Item not found, Kupo!

agile laurel
#

tl;dr, while doman reconstruction and ishgard restoration vaguely share a name, they absolutely do not share a purpose/method

obsidian patio
#

!iglam Yanxian Merchant’s Haori

zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
#

Dyeable too

leaden ginkgo
#

Nice

#

I just want to get rid of my retainers vault space

#

Lots of unnecessary stuff there

#

I’ll go with Doman then

thin comet
#

halp.. how do i enter potd solo?

#

i've already went with a pt till lv41 but we wiped.. so i was gonna gear up a bit

obsidian patio
#

Choose the fixed party option when setting up a save.

thin comet
obsidian patio
#

Basically start a file as if you were going to enter and you’ll see it

thin comet
#

i've got 2 slots. i need to delete 1?

obsidian patio
#

Delete the floor 1 save and put it over that

thin comet
#

ok got it now

#

phew

#

is it wise to gear up before attempting f50 again?

left moth
#

can probably get carried with some 99's but would suggest getting to 20/20

thin comet
#

all right. thanks!

worn belfry
#

okay so... theres no way this dye is really worth this much?? how much should i actually price it for since i got nothing to go off of apparently???

oak ice
#

Goobbue Gray is super easy to get

worn belfry
#

so like 2 gil?

forest sage
#

@thin comet just make sure you get silver chests and keept Steel poms for bosses and it should be very doable with this setup, however I'd recommend a healer/rdm/tank for first clear if you don't have potshers to buy sustaining potions

oak ice
#

It can be bought from an npc for 40 gil

worn belfry
#

2 gil it is

forest sage
#

might as well vendor it at that price, since pretty sure the tax will make it 1g anyway

worn belfry
#

eh i dont mind, i try to make the stuff i sell cheap as hell anyways. i pretty much already have everything i want or need so i dont really need to make money anyways

torpid juniper
#

What order should I spend company seals on? Go for promotions first, then ventures, then glamour prisms? Should I go for promotions between ventures?

glossy flare
#

I'd recommend going for promotions until you unlock your squadron, just because that's another thing you can do besides whatever you are actually doing. After that just spend them on whatever you need/want tbh

#

There really is no shortage on GC seals at some point

torpid juniper
#

What level is the squadron? I've only promoted myself once

glossy flare
#

Second Lieutenant

torpid juniper
#

Ok. What are silver chocobo feathers for?

#

Sorting my inventory and found those. Don't know how I got them.

glossy flare
#

There's a trader for them in each of the hub cities. You can spend them on a variety of "nice to have" items

#

Nothing too fancy though but do take a look

torpid juniper
#

Anything you'd recommend? I'm an archer if it matters.

obsidian patio
#

The level 50/60/70 aiming gear

glossy flare
#

Once you hit lvl 50 you can spend them on gear for that level cap

obsidian patio
#

The level 20-ish stuff is absolutely NOT worth the feathers

torpid juniper
#

Ok. So hold them til 50+?

glossy flare
#

Yeah

#

Nothing the trader has is exclusive mind you, it's just another way to obtain those items

torpid juniper
#

Ok. I'll just put them away. Thanks.

glossy flare
#

Otherwise you would spend poetics for the level cap gear

torpid juniper
#

What are poetics?

obsidian patio
#

As for my recommendation on GC seals, I recommend focusing promotions until Sergeant 2nd Class at minimum, as that’s when you’re able to turn in dungeon/raid/tomestone gear for seals

#

Which is a massive boost in seal income

#

Poetics are a level cap currency earned from level 50/60/70 content

#

Tomestones of poetics, being the full name.

glossy flare
#

Tomestones of Poetics. They are a currency you will unlock at some point. You can spend them on a variety of items that are mostly for catchup mechanics or old content

obsidian patio
#

They’re used to buy the best gear for each of those level caps

torpid juniper
#

Ah ok. I'll definitely do that then. I just hear people saying that ventures are great. So I started doing some but are out of the venture currency. Anyway to obtain them elsewhere?

obsidian patio
#

Not much options early on

#

Basically just GC seals and the various beast tribes

cloud night
#

hey guys, what class did you recommend for beginner ? 😄

obsidian patio
#

And then the clan hunt system at 60/70/80

torpid juniper
#

Thanks for the help

#

@cloud night what do you like in other games?

cloud night
#

I often play melee but I like magician too

glossy flare
obsidian patio
torpid juniper
#

Would you prefer DPS or Support?

cloud night
#

and it seem summoner is something hard to play

warm loom
#

U need big brain

cloud night
#

@glossy flare damage

obsidian patio
#

Summoner is definitely a class that feels easier when you level up with it

cloud night
#

I have a big brain don't worry @warm loom bigbrain

warm loom
#

Lol good

glossy flare
#

Summoner does a pretty good job of introducing your kit over the leveling process. It might seem daunting to just see the whole deal but when you went through it then it all makes perfect sense

#

It's not that complicated actually, just a long rotation (by comparison)

warm loom
#

I like summoner too mines is lvl 70

torpid juniper
#

Thaumaturge is pretty awesome Magic class. Messed with it yesterday for a half hour or so and the damage output is really good for early game.

cloud night
#

and will switch samurai lvl 50 I think

#

my road map is arcanist -> summoner -> samurai

glossy flare
#

In that case I would recommend going with Lancer/Dragoon before switching

#

Just to get into that melee dps mindset

warm loom
#

I fell in love with the aoe potential of the red mage tho

#

Even tho it makes me rage when I mess up lol

glossy flare
#

Bear in mind that Samurai starts at lvl 50 so it might seem confusing to you if you never played a melee dps before

#

Since you start with a lot of skills unlocked already

shrewd owl
#

summoner has a whole lot of stuff for its rotation but they all fit very nicely in it
and i say this as someone who uh
boosted summoner haHAA

warm loom
#

I play on ps4

I started out as a paladin got him to 80

I'm still a bit confused on materia. Can I find an npc to equip it for me or do I need to find a player if I'm not leveled enough?

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

And what about Garlean Synthetic Fabric? I’m doing fates in the southern front but it’s never dropping

obsidian patio
#

Just a rare drop. /shrug

#

It is tradeable, though

steel wedge
#

Do I need gold to get it or something?

#

Oh really?

obsidian patio
#

Gold rating is needed for a chance, yeah

torpid juniper
#

Thank you. Is it easy to switch out materia to better gear?

obsidian patio
#

You can freely retrieve materia that’s below grade 7 on gear

steel wedge
obsidian patio
#

But in all honesty, it’s not worth melding your leveling gear since you go through it so fast

steel wedge
#

^

torpid juniper
#

So I shouldn't even worry about materia?

steel wedge
obsidian patio
#

Not until level 80, for the most part.

steel wedge
#

^

torpid juniper
#

I'm level 38 atm

#

Really? Well I don't mind that. One less thing to worry about.

steel wedge
#

Exactly so just keep doing MSQ

torpid juniper
#

So basically anything I'd get from Spirit bonding low level items isn't worth my time?

whole wasp
#

Its free but theres no need to sweat or optimize it

steel wedge
obsidian patio
#

Yes

torpid juniper
#

Thanks for the help

steel wedge
#

Oh that would save me time then :3

#

Can your trade in southern front?

obsidian patio
#

Nope

Ok so ask FC and NN ty 😁

midnight halo
#

whats the most cost efficient way to acquire all cd keys required up until current expansion(currently still on free trial)? should i just buy separate keys from best offers on allkeyshop or is there a better way?

obsidian patio
#

Don’t use third-party key resellers, as they always carry the risk of a fraudulent key.

#

Also the only versions worth considering are the starter edition (base game + first expansion), shadowbringers (2nd+3rd expansion), and complete edition (base game + all expansions)

midnight halo
#

complete edition k got it tyvm

#

Hi, what's the fastest way to Farm poetics? 5.52 is the latest patch?

obsidian patio
#

5.45 is the current patch

#

Daily roulettes. mainly Main Scenario, 50/60/70, and Alliance Raid give the most of them

#

After that it’s basically spamming dungeons and doing whatever level 50/60/70 content you haven’t done yet for the first time bonus of poetics

#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
blissful lava
#

Bonus.. hmm would be nice to find those

obsidian patio
#

There’s a LOT of optional level 50/60 dungeons that are easy to do at level 80 solo

#

I have a question once once i am done with my trial version and buy the game thereafter will i be able to transfer my character to European datacenter from japan for free ?

obsidian patio
#

No.

#

You can only freely transfer your home world if you’re on a Congested World and move to a Preferred World

twilit patrol
#

isn’t castrum meridinium a good poetics farm after u done e with your roulettes? its also will net event coins too

#

once the event start ofc

obsidian patio
#

You have to take the cutscenes into consideration

#

Poetics wise it’s not that good

twilit patrol
#

yeah 20 min

#

not as bad as praetorium

#

god i hate it

obsidian patio
#

To put that in comparison, Crystal Tower raids, like syrcus tower, can be done in 12-15 minutes with a decent group

#

I’ve always found Castrum to take closer to 30 minutes or so

#

Depends on how cid behaves after the first boss and how well the red magitek colossus goes

twilit patrol
#

its like 100 poetics per raid?

#

the crystal tower

#

unless there is a first timer

obsidian patio
#

Yep

blissful lava
#

Oh yeah the event

#

ppl will be doing Syrcus tower a lot

obsidian patio
#

ARR raids aren’t part of the rotation this time around

blissful lava
#

Eehhhh

#

😭

obsidian patio
#

The 24-man series giving out the tokens will be Ivalice

Oh well..

Oh

leaden ginkgo
#

Where can I accept the scholar quests? And where can I accept the summoner quests?

toxic glen
#

Both start off at the arcanists guild

#

Wait sorry SMN Gridania I think

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay so to level up the scholar and summoner at the same time, I would get all the quests from the arcanist's guild?

oak ice
#

Scholar is in the marauder guild in Limsa and SMN is in the waterfall basin in Gridania

obsidian patio
#

Scholar quests are mostly at the Marauder’s Guild and Camp Bronze Lake

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay thank you so much! So if I have my scholar gear equipped, would I have to manually go to Gridania to get the next Summoner quest?

#

How does it work, I am a bit confused.

#

Because I am trying to level up both of them at the same time!

obsidian patio
#

You’d need to swap to summoner to do summoner quests

oak ice
#

You can set up gear sets to instantly swap between the two

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay and then the quest should pop up for me?

oak ice
#

As soon as you swap to SMN or vice versa it will show up under your MSQ header

toxic glen
#

When you get a new SMN or SCH quest it should pop up under MSQ

whole wasp
#

yup. look for the ! in the top left corner of the screen below the msq tracker

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay thank you guys! That makes a lot more sense.

whole wasp
#

that shows you your currently avaliable job quest for whatever job you are on currently

toxic glen
#

If you get one you'll get the other at the same time you'll just need to switch class

Got it, thank you so much! fatcat

Any place better than sephirot

I just told myself that boot doesn't exist :/

when i try at mogstation your account page

Have you had issues in the past or is this the first time trying to purchase something?

this is kinda ... 3rd time i guess

3rd time purchases*

drifting ruin

Are you using a VPN or something? that's known to cause issues buying stuff

short marten

nope

#

i even try incognito

cuz it will disable all add on browser

drifting ruin

the service could just be having issues

I remember I had to wait like 2 days to be able to buy something

try again in a few hours shrugR

short marten

should have put the odin stead in cart with all the costume i bought ==

from mail

Yeah sometimes it can be that long, not much you can do

short marten

Fresh 80 here, is it worth buying Exarchic Gear from the MB while I farm for the tomestone gear?

drifting ruin
#

Only if it helps you get the ilvl required to access higher content

#

otherwise it's kinda pointless

#

(imo)

scarlet kindle
#

Hmm I guess I'll put it off for now. Just curious if it mattered cause in unsynced I noticed the max level characters had like 3-4 times my health lol

#

Thanks

drifting ruin
#

what's your ilvl right now?

scarlet kindle
#

405, still wearing mostly Scaevan with some stuff from dungeons as I leveled

drifting ruin
#

Continue the MSQ, there's some dungeons that'll help you get more gear

honest anvil
#

You can buy neo-ish gears as temps if you want. They are fairly cheap now.

earnest wraith
#

or put exarchic into your wishlist and look for tanked price

scarlet kindle
#

I'll check those out thanks everyone 🙂

drifting ruin
#

and you'll get tomes for upgrades while you do that, and you'll also be able to do the eden raids for 450/480/510 armour (depending on tier)

Another question, I read somewhere that if you do all role quests before the final ShB there's an additional tidbit in the ending cutscenes? Just wanted to verify if that's true. Right now I only finished DPS/Healer due to Arcanist.

true

Ahh I didn't think of that. I've been putting it off so I was levelling my PLD and MNK lol. Thanks again

bronze crater
#

So is there “end game” gear when you reach lvl 50. I understand that obviously the game now caps at lvl 80 with much better gear but what about what was end game gear when arr ended all those years ago? .... hope that makes sense lol😫

honest anvil
#

there was

#

but current lv50 “endgame” is ironworks

bronze crater
#

And I get those tomestones from farming the raids that open up at the end of arr, right?

vital ruin
#

Aye exactly what I wanted to hear :D

honest anvil
#

yes, you get poetics starting from castrum iirc

#

but keep doing msq to unlock more dungeons

#

later dungeons give poetics and decent gears too

bronze crater
#

Just did that haunted mansion but also unlocked that temple in the desert and cleared that prior

#

Are there other hidden/unlockable dungeons

honest anvil
#

look for blue quests

#

at your level they are mostly in mor dona

#

but ye, there are lots of optional dungeons

This may sound dumb. I’m trying to level a second job so I’m trying to do some guildlevs but when I go to the green circle on the map there is nothing?

#

What am I doing wrong

#

You need to start the levequest

drifting ruin
#

if I'm on a character below SHB levels, do I get nerfed XP from uncovering the maps?

warm snow
#

Go into the quest itself and click initiate

Thanks

amber frigate
#

Hey I'm new to the game and using the free trail for now what's a good way to level a job from 1 to 60 that I can access

toxic glen
#

Done the MSQ?

amber frigate
#

I'm still working on it but I wanted to start leveling lancer and conjurer since I just got to the point to were I can travel to the other city's since I started Gladiator.

toxic glen
#

From 1-15 I would recommend Hunting log, not much you can do for fast exp early game then the rest is running dgs

#

Can also do PoTD if you dont want long queue times as DPS or a change

amber frigate
#

how do I unlock PoTD

toxic glen
#

Needa do the quest "The house that death built"

#

Unlocks after you done one of the lvl 17 MSQ, should be in Gridania

strong saddle
#

How do I set my gear so I dont have to manually equip it everytime

amber frigate
#

thank you

toxic glen
#

Go to your character profile and above your level should be 3 icons, wanna click the one on the Right

#

Should open up another menu and there should be a plus on the top left corner, click that and it should add it to the list which you can change back to

gloomy mortar
#

How do you get your housing orchestrion to play a song on a loop when you’re inside the house? It seems like it only plays when you access the orchestrion, and when you leave the orchestrion interface, it goes back to game music

gleaming mist
#

so just click whatever song twice and it'll allow you to set it to play for the estate

#

after that you want to hit the repeat playback mode so you can loop it

Hey guys so I bought the starter edition on steam, and going through the free trial period thing, and I want to buy a sub right now to get the recruitment benefits, I tried to buy a real sub but it hasn't charged me, do I have to wait until the free trial 30 day sub wears out?

upper cove
# drifting ruin Are the ARR beast tribe dailies good xp?

I'm doing them daily, for combat classes the exp is pretty meh. Works for crsfters since you can use a high lvl crafter to build the quest item, and turn in using a lower level crafter. That being said, the grand company grants much more edp

nova shard
#

so does crit hit give me base damage/healing potency as well as increased crit chance/crit damage?

upper cove
#

I'm personally doing the beast tribes for completions sake, and also because I want to get their mounts and minions

drifting ruin
#

good to know, thanks

#

some of the mounts are coming with the moogle event next week

gleaming mist
#

determination will give a small increase to base damage/healing

as well as the main stat for your job (str, int, mnd, dex)

ok got it

How do i know when I'm at the required msq level to obtain my first mount

You can gotta buy the full game

worthy harbor
#

what

strong saddle
#

Waitbwhat u mean

#

You mean u dont wanna see it?

worthy harbor
#

No, to lose the icon displaying to others

#

you cant meet those conditions

Peeps, coming back to the game. Havent played in donkeys.

#

Is cross class skills still a thing?

#

like is it worth a paladin having conjurer to a set level?

gleaming mist
#

cross class skills are gone

#

so you don't need to level conjurer if you aren't interested in playing it

waxen glacier
#

ah ok cool. makes things more streamlined i guess!

gleaming mist
#

yea

tender ice
#

Once you've rolled on loot can you leave?

no, you gotta wait for the items to be given out

leaving the instance counts as passing on them

what's it called exactly?

#

YoRHa Type-53 Coat of Fending

#

It's just a random drop from the bosses I think

What like you just get it or you have to check the coffers

drifting ruin
#

Ah, it's a drop from the 3rd boss

#

well, everyone rolls on it

#

it's in the coffers, yeah

torn lichen
#

nier loot is still in the game? its not event-tied?

tender ice
#

Gotcha, didn't see it on this run

So I guess it doesn't always spawn

NieR is permanent content

drifting ruin
#

that's 1/14 potential drops from the the third boss

#

last boss can drop it too

#

gotcha

#

ill run it again

Does it drop in the copied factory?

Big ripp

dull ingot
#

I like playing classes that fit the aesthetics of the expansion I'm playing. In HW I found basicly any "knight" like class worked. I now the second part of Stormblood samurai fits but according to the trailers I've seen the first part is more of a monk thing, is that true?

vital ruin
#

I just want late allagan sets :/

glossy flare
#

On a more serious note though, it's not really popular content so finding resources like that might be difficult

vital ruin

Gotta do it for the drip

#

And it's like 14k per set
Gotta win somehow

glossy flare
#

Storywise it has almost nothing to do with the monks, it's just their home country

#

But neither are Samurai important to the story, just their home country as well

#

But you also have an area that is more mongolian sooo....

vital ruin
#

U forgot ninja

Well those are from the same country the Samurai are from

#

#

Yeah but Yugiri is from Doma not from Hingashi

vital ruin
#

Doma right

dull ingot
#

Is the Ala Mhigo part going to have alot of monks running around and stuff?

leaden ginkgo
#

Also monks are from ala mhigo which is eorzea lol

dull ingot
#

or like cutscenes that work better as mnk

vital ruin
#

Nope

#

Play which ever you like

glossy flare
#

Which has nothing to do with monkish things

#

But the same is true for the parts of the story that take place in the far east. Sure Samurai are there and do stuff but nothing of the story revolves around Samurai things per se

vital ruin
#

If you wanna match aesthetics
I'd say play paladin or gunbreaker

#

Ninja or monk

#

A lot of paladins in ala mhigo front lines
Gunbreaker for imperials

glossy flare
#

I will say that one of the major story NPCs for stormblood is a monk or at least fights like one. So there is that. But you also have a major Samurai NPC 🤷

vital ruin
#

Major ninja npc aswell

#

Can you teleport to your house?

glossy flare
#

Nah, Garlean gunblades are different from the Gunbreaker ones

vital ruin
#

Red mage npc aswell

#

Tru

gleaming mist
#

you can buy it for seals from your grand company quartermaster or buy one off of the market board

dull ingot
#

ah ok thanks! Maybe I'll just start it first and then see what I think of it. Seems like the ala mighan stuff does not really have a certain theme that fits best then

leaden ginkgo
#

Still looking for chocobo racing advice since I'm obviously doing something wrong

dull ingot
#

Also I'd have to level a monk to 1-60 otherwise and that seems like alot of effort if it is not really a perfect fit for the story

drifting ruin
#

Will this automatically go to "Trusted" once I get more rep?

hot eagle
#

do the blue quest

#

to rank up

leaden ginkgo
drifting ruin
#

@hot eagle thanks

glossy flare
#

I think the most consistent callouts are for the Dragoon in HW but other than that I don't see much of a difference between jobs

drifting ruin
#

I didn't keep track of it much

#

only been doing dailies for ~3 days now

pseudo quartz
#

The game warns you if you're about to waste Rep (or tomestone) with a popup, so probably not?

drifting ruin
#

Alright cool

#

yeah I got the tomestone ones but I ignored it cause I don't want any tomestones anyway

#

lol

toxic glen
#

If I dont turn in the timeworn artifacts for the last part of relic quest can I just keep collecting them via DR?

faint flare
#

Yes

toxic glen
#

Cheers, guess that's the plan then

#

Also is there a way you can check how many times you've done an instance?

gleaming mist
#

nope

#

you'll need to keep a personal record through ACT logs or something

honest anvil
#

Does somber dance in e12s 2 hit two highest enmities or two furthests?

gleaming mist
#

the same player can't be targeted twice

#

unless like all 7 other people are dead?? i guess

honest anvil
#

so if someone stacking mid gets hit, the st is doing sth wrong?

gleaming mist
#

maybe

#

you want the ot to go to the opposite side to bait the 2nd hit

#

if theyre slow, it can snapshot people towards the center in it

#

it's a pretty large aoe

#

can also have the other people in the party take a small step back after the 1st bait so they're less likely to get hit if the OT is slow

#

oh yeah another thing

#

if the MT baits the 1st hit across the arena, then that's also pretty bad

the 18/18 step is a one time step

so you never do this one again

rest is the same

well besides having to buy the poetic stuff to get started I guess, but that's actually worse rather than better(but also kinda irrelevant it's just 1000poetics)

i will also have to hunt for those later on

Relic weapons are always grindy

glossy flare
clever ether
# glossy flare Make what easier?

The leveling progress. For example, in gw2 there is a shared currency making it easier to buy items, in wow there is heirloom items etc. Just wondering as im a altoholic and I like creating/playing different races/classes.

Alt characters are completely separate

glossy flare
#

No real need to make alt characters either though, you can have all classes on just one character

Fair enough, though that is actually a bit of a bother because everything in this game is tied to msq progression

warm snow
#

Shards are basically only for arr crafts

glossy flare
#

While alt jobs would not require that

#

Those you could just level via dungeons, PotD/HoH or whatever you want

drifting ruin
#

You get a free race change after ARR's MSQ, so

clever ether
#

Another question.

warm snow
#

Unless you want to start a new character as a rogue, a ninja, dark Knight, astrologian, machinist, dancer, samurai or gunbreaker

#

Lol

clever ether
#

Can you delete FFXIV_CHR0040002E932F7070 maps?

#

I wanna clear some as im trying to find the main saved ones?

warm snow
#

Tf is that

clever ether
#

Its char settings

#

Keybind ui layout

warm snow
#

Character settings are per character afaik

clever ether
#

Yes im aware. But you can copy settings. Tho I have 5 maps and no idea which one is the "right" one.

#

And I dont wanna accidently get rid of the "right" setting one by overwritting it from a old one.

warm snow
#

Backup your most important one then restore it and compare modified dates

#

There's an in game backup for character settings when you log in and choose a character

#

The person with a gear next to your character name

pulsar escarp
#

snowcloak ice sprites suck, what are you meant to do as tank at that blizzard section? pull less?

deep gyro
#

dont stand in aoe

#

like every other dungeon

pulsar escarp
#

yeah

#

but even not in aoe hp melts

#

even with mitigation

#

yoink them out of blizzard?

deep gyro
#

are you in the blizzard?

#

that's the aoe

pulsar escarp
#

usually I try and run past blizzard to the quiet section

#

yeah

deep gyro
#

thats how the mechanic is resolved

pulsar escarp
#

aha ic that makes sense

deep gyro
#

you're standing in the aoe taking extra dmg lol

pulsar escarp
#

they dont' seem too happy to leave the blizzard though which is annoying

deep gyro
#

they have ranged attack

pulsar escarp
#

gotta run to almost the edge of the other blizzard right

#

?

deep gyro
#

run wall to wall

pulsar escarp
#

oh.

#

just run past all the blizzards.

deep gyro
#

dungeon mobs dont drop aggro

#

so yeh

pulsar escarp
#

well. I guess that's a solution

deep gyro
#

thats what most people will tell you to do

pulsar escarp
#

just worried about how low my hp might go running through blizzards if healer can't keep up

deep gyro
#

for every dungeon

#

dont stay in the blizzard

#

use cooldowns

#

same as every other wall to wall pull

pulsar escarp
#

so standard but the answer is just get the blizzard over with in one fell swoop then

#

gotcha

deep gyro
#

just pull everything and use cooldowns

#

dont stand in areas that deal damage to you

pulsar escarp
#

really just worried my healer couldn't keep up there

deep gyro
#

they dont have sprint or?

pulsar escarp
#

oh I mean heal wise

#

I popped cds and everything but maybe I was accidentally in blizzard or smth

#

I said it was mb anyway

deep gyro
#

there is a debuff

#

if you stand in it

#

maybe your buff and debuff bar needs to be larger in a more prominent position

gusty hare
#

any way to copy chat text on ps4/5?

pulsar escarp
deep gyro
#

but you said you didn't know if you were in the blizzard

#

if you keep and eye on the debuff bar you will see if you are taking damage or not

#

animations in this game are a rough approximation for a visual cue of the mechanic, you need to look at buffs, debuffs and cast bar to know for sure

pulsar escarp
#

ngl it's me trying to explain to myself, I'm pretty sure I yoinked them out anyway

deep gyro
#

in that case maybe u can get better gear

#

if you did everything right and still took too much dmg

#

maybe your gear is too low for the dungeon

drifting ruin
#

Do wall to wall because if you die, you just tone it back a bit

#

if you don't do wall to wall, you're potentially wasting a lot of time

pulsar escarp
#

I mean it's snowcloak and I was in shire custodian

#

and I don't want to blame the healer either so maybe I registered I was doing things wrong and just blacked out

drifting ruin
#

It was probably the healer if you were using mitigations and not standing in fire

pulsar escarp
#

it's nice you guys told me to do w2w, I didn't even register it was an option to just w2w that part of snowcloak

little swift
#

Its good to recognize how you can improve but also be watchful of the healers actions

#

Cure spamming no holy

pulsar escarp
#

I mean it was a scholar

drifting ruin
#

ARR and HW dungeons can be sketchy to w2w if you're around the intended ilvl tbh

little swift
#

Dps not aoe

#

Adlo spam bad

pulsar escarp
#

they just seemed to let me get low a lot but they usually did get me up again before I died

#

and I'm pretty sure that's just standard healer behaviour

warm snow
#

Define low

pulsar escarp
#

around 20 percent and sometimes a bit less

drifting ruin
#

Only thing that matters is that you don't die

pulsar escarp
#

yeah

#

only hp that matters is last hp

warm snow
#

That's reasonable, 10% is getting a little reckless but manageable

drifting ruin
#

eventually you learn to not panic when at 10% hp

pulsar escarp
#

yeah it was probably just the sprites which hit a bit hard took us a bit by surprise or smth

drifting ruin
#

Tanking in this game is actually so easy that in normal content it's very rarely YOUR fault that you died

#

unless you did something blatantly wrong

warm snow
#

My general rule of thumb is not to w2w with sprint

drifting ruin
#

oh god

pulsar escarp
#

even if I did pop sprint I check behind for how far healer is

#

also by the way, in keeper of the lake with the boss with the bombs, how do those actually work? I asked and no one told me. ever. is it partially tank responsibility to knock them aside? is it aoe or raidwide?

warm snow
#

If they get hit with flamethrower they become time bombs

#

So aoe knock them away from the boss

little swift
#

Just aoe them

#

Doesn't matter who

pulsar escarp
#

I see

little swift
#

Someone just do it

warm snow
#

It's arguably everyone's responsibility but since tank dps is less important you should take the initiative regardless

little swift
#

Tank dps isn't less important

pulsar escarp
#

So when boss yoinks them all together just aoe it and then it should be okay

#

?

warm snow
#

Probably

pulsar escarp
#

It seems kinda important to tell a sprout this ngl

little swift
#

Yes make sure to get them away

#

Not really its definitely something to figure out

warm snow
#

Arr dungeons are super brain dead due to power creep so a lot of people never had to learn them

pulsar escarp
#

I figured the explosion

#

Not the flamethrower

little swift
#

Dungeons are designed to be cleared blind

wispy flare
#

Does logging out in an inn room do anything?

pulsar escarp
#

But yeah I guess we’ve never wiped to it

#

Only got us real low when it fucked up

#

And sometimes we cheese past fights but I never figure out exactly what the mechanic was

drifting ruin
#

that's pretty standard for older content

pulsar escarp
#

‘Gee what nearly killed us’ ‘lol no clue we’re past it so who cares’ is a standard ngl haha

deep gyro
#

its the same as logging out in any other sanctuary

twilit arch
#

no

#

inn room has always been same exp as sanctuary, afaik for 2.0 atleast

#

you just get a cute animation when logging in/out if you do so in an inn room

deep gyro
#

i like the cute animation

pale vessel
#

Is there anything to do before starting Stormblood ? I think I'm in the last patch before it. Also, is there any relic weapon that's worth getting or should I ignore relics until I reach ShB?

glossy flare
#

Anything but the current relic weapons are purely for glamour at this point

#

Also it's just good practice to unlock all dungeons and raids I guess, but if you have no interest in that kind of content then don't

#

(On the topic of the ShB relic weapons though: Those require completion of the Stormblood alliance raid questline)

pale vessel
#

Ok thank you

raven burrow
#

do sch and smn use the same relic ?

glossy flare
#

Nope, there are always 2 different books

#

Technically they don't even use the same weapon type

raven burrow
#

is it different glam wise ?

#

bozja relic i mean

snow yoke
glossy flare
#

Yes, that's what i said 😄

#

Always 2 different books

bright badger
#

How much harder are ultimates compared to savage?

raven burrow
#

ppl always only show sch book

jovial mortar
#

can some one help me get SMN relic weapon from heavensward

sacred sphinx
#

So I've hit lv 55 in the free trial ed. and want to play the full game, I see the $60 pack has shadow bringers but I see it comes with ARR, do I need to purchase content I've already completed to access this?

modest igloo
bright badger
#

Oof

little swift
#

Group skill dependent

#

And what kinds of resources you use

bright badger
#

I suck so it could take me a while lol

modest igloo
#

Yeah channy has it more right

little swift
#

Blind prog makes things more slow

#

But there are guides out

#

Like on average the first couple floors of a tier take maybe 3 to 4 hours for most players to get through

#

If you're not totally sure you're capable of it yet

bright badger
#

I want the cool glowy weapons

little swift
#

Try clearing the current tier first

modest igloo
little swift
#

Ultimates are an endurance test

#

not only for how long you commit to the fight

glossy flare
bright badger
#

But how long you're willing to prog

little swift
#

But also how much focus you put into continuous mechanical execution

#

Easily 15 to 18 minutes where you have 0 checkpoints and can make nearly no mistakes

open ember
#

It requires everyone to be on one page

#

And to be consistent

sacred sphinx
bright badger
#

Ultimates sound pretty cruel, sounds good to me

open ember
#

Little to no deaths and little room for error

sacred sphinx
#

what

little swift
modest igloo
#

I need to word my answers better

little swift
#

Free trial isn't owning the game @sacred sphinx

bright badger
#

Yeah, I've got UCOB and Weapons Refrain unlocked

little swift
#

You're level and ilvl synced to those fights

#

Theres no easy way out

toxic glen
#

Ok question for people who have done an ultimate, how much salt was there while trying to complete it? I imagine it would be pretty tense

little swift
#

Finding a group will be tough too if you have no savage experience for them to see

open ember
#

Before going into ultimate, I would recommend you clear an entire savage tier before even attempting

deep gyro
#

my friends did it for me and there was salt there KEKW

#

ppl getting frustrated that people with the clear were making mistakes lmao

#

other groups might just disband

short marten
#

im looking for help in Cape westwind for my quest newbie here queue using parter finder already 50min

deep gyro
#

i'd find a casual group to start out with if you dont want salt

bright badger
#

Would owning mounts and gear from savage tiers be proof of experience

#

On ps4 its wqhat i got

deep gyro
#

no its not

little swift
#

No it really wouldn't since you can unsync old fights

deep gyro
#

only if u did it while it's current

#

so if you dont have savage logs as proof its gonna be hard to find a group

open ember
#

For example my static is gonna do ultimate when we clear e12s

little swift
snow yoke
short marten
#

50min queue m8

open ember
#

But not as we stand as we just got to e11s

little swift
#

And do you have the correct other language settings on

short marten
#

did i need to wait 1h for just that -_-

twilit arch
#

danHmm what server are you on because 50mins for cape westwind is very sus

deep gyro
#

u said party finder

short marten
#

how to on other language

deep gyro
#

not duty finder

short marten
#

chocobo

sacred sphinx
deep gyro
#

they are different

twilit arch
#

The cogwheel at the top of the duty finder window opens the duty finder settings. make sure you enable J

open ember
#

If you only out E in the language settings you're not gonna find anyone

#

Put it on J

short marten
#

shit nvm my word there is kinda not complete

#

sorry2

open ember
#

I don't believe Chocobo is on Elemental

little swift
short marten
#

hmm mana if im not wrong?

twilit arch
#

ye mana

open ember
#

Yeah put JP

#

J I Mean

little swift
#

Yes chocobo on mana

open ember
#

that is a pure JP dc

#

Almost pure

twilit arch
#

Even if it was elemental, should have J on regardless

open ember
#

Yeah

deep gyro
#

i thought the default had it all

open ember
#

I would enable every language

twilit arch
#

no

#

duty finder defaults to your language settings

#

so if you only have E, it only stats with E

deep gyro
#

i dont remember changing it but maybe i did, it was many years ago

little swift
#

Its by default your basic language setting

twilit arch
#

roulettes default ot all language

#

but specific queues are still duty finder language

short marten
#

oh and then just let queue?

#

without anything to change?

little swift
#

you want to match with Japanese players as well

short marten
#

im ok with it

little swift
#

Or you'll be stuck in queue looking for English only players

#

Its also 2am JST though to be fair

short marten
#

since my class is a tank should be fine >>

little swift
#

Please change your language settings in your duty finder

short marten
#

done

#

wow

#

insta party

deep gyro
little swift
#

Yes because you're not only struggling to find the 6.7 people also only english

#

I play on mana too
