[leaden ginkgo]

What can't I do if I world visit

Is like, story progression tied to the home world

[remote lintel]

sell on that world, attend weddings, join fcs on that world, etc

no

[slate arrow]

Join free companies, buy housing, access retainers

[frozen salmon]

How long does it typically take to get to max level? I'm required to quarantine for 3 weeks so I have some spare time on my hands.

[remote lintel]

however long it takes you to do the story

[slate arrow]

First job or subsequent ones?

[frozen salmon]

🤔

First job

Level 35 rn

[slate arrow]

However long it takes to do the stroy

[leaden ginkgo]

Tempted to go Adamantoise but Balmug is the biggest server wise right

[remote lintel]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm looking up stuff but since this is an MMO, it might be outdated

[remote lintel]

theyre all populated

[robust crow]

idk where everyone is getting the "balmung is the biggest"

[remote lintel]

individual world doesnt matter because again, you can world visit

[robust crow]

that's like the 3rd person I've seen mention that

[remote lintel]

and matchmaking is done across the data center

[robust crow]

balmung isn't the biggest

[alpine lance]

Make sure you do your dailies, it will give you more EXP when you do them once a day. That will help you with leveling up your class

[leaden ginkgo]

Then which is

[robust crow]

all servers are populated

[remote lintel]

theyre all populated

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay, okay

[robust crow]

balmung is on crystal, which is generally less populated than aether or primal

[leaden ginkgo]

So I should go Aether, Adamantoise, then see which one I like

[remote lintel]

you wont notice any difference in population between the 3 data centers

[robust crow]

if you want to be on aether you should join the preferred server

[remote lintel]

thats how populated they are

[robust crow]

which is currently midgardsormr

[leaden ginkgo]

Why

[robust crow]

unless you have friends or something on adamantoise

[remote lintel]

preferred worlds give an exp bonus

[robust crow]

because you get double exp for 90 days on a preferred server

up to level 70 for any class

[alpine lance]

I was on Midgardsormr, but one cross world linkshell group I was in got me to switch from Midgardsormr to Faerie and I love the FC I joined there too

[robust crow]

the idea is that you spend your 90 days cashing in the exp bonus

then you can server transfer later

[leaden ginkgo]

Alright

But what if I don't want to pay money

[robust crow]

if you do that you can think of it like paying $20 for 90 days of double xp

[leaden ginkgo]

I know it's an MMO

And spending money is good but

[remote lintel]

like

you dont want to buy the game?

[robust crow]

well, ff14 is subscription based so you're fucked either way if you want to get past the free trial

[leaden ginkgo]

I bought the complete edition

[remote lintel]

then you cant log in if you dont sub

[robust crow]

then you're already fucked

[leaden ginkgo]

Fine, I'll only pay if I have to

[robust crow]

owning the game means you can't play without a sub

[icy finch]

so im lvl 75 but i need gear 300 to do a dungeon. best place to farm gear?

[remote lintel]

you should have gotten scaevan gear at 70

[slate arrow]

Use Poetics to buy Scaevan gear

[robust crow]

you can make the account and apply the key for the complete edition later I guess

[icy finch]

poetics and scaevan gea?

[remote lintel]

poetics are the currency

[leaden ginkgo]

Any gunbreaker main here?

[remote lintel]

to buy scaevan

[slate arrow]

what's up

[leaden ginkgo]

Can you send me a pic of your stats. SS crit and DT all that

[robust crow]

(why is that necessary?)

[remote lintel]

[robust crow]

gnb aims to get comfortable skill speed and then just dumps into crit and DH

[leaden ginkgo]

I already used the key for my complete edition so

So that I could adjust the values closer to his. Because he will set the correct SS for rotation to be perfect

[robust crow]

...?

[icy finch]

where can i buy scaevan

[remote lintel]

its on the balance?

[robust crow]

you are meant to test the skill speeds yourself

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks

[remote lintel]

@icy finch rhalgrs reach

[robust crow]

to find out which you are comfortable with

[icy finch]

❤️

[slate arrow]

oops wrong person

[leaden ginkgo]

Forget about SS. IdK what the value for a good DT is

[robust crow]

if you wanted "highest possible damage" then balance tells you to aim for 2.41

[leaden ginkgo]

Like how much is good

[slate arrow]

see the meld priority

[robust crow]

there isn't an amount that is good

you want maximum crit and DH

whatever is left can be det

[slate arrow]

basically as much as you can with whatever isn't already melded with crit

As tank pieces don't usually come with direct hit

[robust crow]

DH is strong on tank healer gear for that reason

all of it has to come from melds

[leaden ginkgo]

I have the augmented laws order after going through 7 hells. Should I fill all of em with DT?

[robust crow]

no, see the meld priority

[remote lintel]

follow the meld priority

[robust crow]

the answer to all of your questions is probably going to be "just get crit and DH and if you max the other 2 then get det"

[leaden ginkgo]

Isn’t tank crit rate like 14%

[remote lintel]

depends on your crit stat

[leaden ginkgo]

It s around 14-17 no matter how good

I saw absolute values converted to percentages and tanks have the lowest crit in the game

So why focus on that?

[faint flare]

It increases damage as well

• crit buffs

[robust crow]

partly because of the substat distribution this tier

[leaden ginkgo]

Does the voice acting for the player character matter

[remote lintel]

no

your character doesnt have voice acting

only combat grunts and some emotes

[robust crow]

I heard warrior even melds tenacity

idk if true but tenacity is

[leaden ginkgo]

Currently my SS is 2.35 with no materia melded at all

[robust crow]

that's too fast

I think the fastest bis set is 2.38 for tanks

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh wait I did meld a little bit

I’ll remove them then

[robust crow]

for the 20th time, your meld priority is SKS to tier > crit > DH = det

[slate arrow]

please read

[leaden ginkgo]

I did . I’m just want to know if my crit is already good enough

[faint flare]

Can you get more?

[leaden ginkgo]

Like my SS is 2.35 and I can see that. But my crit rate I don’t know

[remote lintel]

there is no specific number youre supposed to hit

[faint flare]

Cause then the answer is not

[robust crow]

the answer is "it's not good enough"

you want as much crit as possible

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay then

[robust crow]

literally if you can do everything crit, you would

but you can't

[leaden ginkgo]

So there’s no ceiling for these values?

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

No

[lethal mist]

Hey where do I get any food? I just want that exp bonus active so I figured anything goes? I also have a bunch of random items in my invetory I have no idea how to deal with... Skins, vouchers, unsellable stuff, meats, etc.... I'm so lost on what to keep, sell, or just throw away. (heck, some things might even be quest related...)

[leaden ginkgo]

Understood

[faint flare]

Only speed

[robust crow]

friend, just pull up one of those bis sets

[leaden ginkgo]

Got it

[robust crow]

you will see exactly how much crit it has

[leaden ginkgo]

where can I do that

here I screenshotted the 2.41 set

[remote lintel]

also quest related items will be in the key items inventory

not your main inventory

@slate arrow So anything that says it's from a mob, I simply sell? Same with "Allagan Gold" and such items? I guess it's easier to ask, what do I NOT sell and if those items say "unsellable" anyway I guess whatever I sell is fine?

[remote lintel]

crafting materials you dont need can be sold

the allagan pieces are trash items meant to be sold for gil

you can get rid of potions unless youre doing a lot of overworld stuff i guess

I want to play right now cause I don't want to waste my 30 days

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[remote lintel]

then pick a different world

[leaden ginkgo]

Gilgamesh then

I guess

Unless the people there aren't friendly to newcomers (doubt it)

You guys seem nice so idk

[remote lintel]

all worlds have friendly people

there is no difference between worlds

[lethal mist]

I have quite a few materia, like Heaven's Eye Materia I. I assume these lower tier do fuckall anyway, but should I sell or can they be "synthesized" or something into something else? Any reason to keep them?

[remote lintel]

you can sell them on the mb if youre not on trial

[leaden ginkgo]

I just randomized my name and got a GOT sounding one

[lethal mist]

I see, I'll keep them for now then

[pine shale]

Hey, Im new to FFXIV and Im noticing that the Weathered Jewellery your character starts with seems to be better than anything Im getting from quests (~ Lvl 12)

Is that to be expected or am I missing something?

[slate arrow]

no, that's normal

[lethal mist]

Jandelain's Token, Gold Saucer Ticket, Cascadier Uniform Voucher x2, MGP Voucher x2. These are all items that aren't too rare I take it? might as well use them/discard?

[twilit arch]

no, accessories in ARR are pretty meh

[slate arrow]

The starting jewelry was added after 2.0

[twilit arch]

so you're probably not going to replace those for a bit

[spark cradle]

jewelery in most of 2.0 ARR is pretty crap

[remote lintel]

@lethal mist if you mouse over them they tell you what theyre for, although if you dont want a swimsuit outfit you can discard the cascadier ones

use the mgp ones

[slate arrow]

2000 gil per aesthetican use, MGP bonus, glamour exchange, +MGP

[remote lintel]

literally teleport to the aftcastle

and look at your map

[pine shale]

Ah okay so until I get further in / finish ARR the starting jewellery is pretty good? Is it worth just selecting the money rewards for these quests then or can I disenchant / disassemble stuff?

[remote lintel]

no

if the gear is better then take the gear

[pine shale]

Otherwise just take the money?

[lethal mist]

I also have Yo-Kai Medals and Legendary Shogunyan Medal. I vaguely recall there was an event a good while ago when I last played. Guessing it's old event stuff?

[slate arrow]

Main Aetheryte > Aethernet

@leaden ginkgo interact with the blue crystals, if you dont have the aftcastle then take the lift from the bulwark hall to the drowning wench

[slate arrow]

Unless you haven't attuned to all Aethernet places, in which case find an upstairs zone transition

[slate arrow]

Yes, Yokai is no longer running at the moment

You can keep them for the rerun or just discard

[lethal mist]

It's just 2 slots, I'll keep them in case it does come back then, thank you

[remote lintel]

are you on trial?

[pine shale]

What should you do with gear you've out-leveled?

Sell, Desynth, or turn in for Company Seals

(alternatively, keep them for your other jobs you want to level)

[pine shale]

Thanks!

No

Costume sets are gear, they're meant to be used with Glamours

[remote lintel]

you glamour them over your gear

[slate arrow]

You don't unlock Glamours until level 15 minimum as the quest unlock is level 15

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[hoary edge]

If GNB is more about dealing damage, and DRK is more about leeching health off your enemies, what's PLD and WAR about?

[remote lintel]

theyre not?

[slate arrow]

every job has regen as a part of their skillset

GNB has the least life leach of all 4

[remote lintel]

if youre asking about gimmicks gnb is about using their magic cartridges, drk is about maintaining blood gauge and mp, pld has a physical dps phase and a magic dps phase, and war has lots of self sustain and goes unga bunga axe

[hoary edge]

I thought that was what differentiated them

[remote lintel]

no

all tanks have a self heal

[slate arrow]

Tanks are more built around their DPS kits rather than their tanking kits nowdays

The only job which uses it's job gauge for actual defensive actions is PLD nowdays

[glossy flare]

People only say GNb is a dps in disguise because it kinda plays like a melee dps

With all the dmg weaving for your cartridge combo

[sacred widget]

does buying the stormblood jump potion/story skip thing also unlock the alliance raids? i bought the arr skip a while back on an alt, and the crystal tower stuff was unlocked, but idk if that is because it's neccessary for the mq now

[faint flare]

No, it only does crystal tower cause its required for story

[sacred widget]

ok, thank you

[slate arrow]

(It does Crystal Tower? I'm fairly sure it doesn't do CT)

[leaden ginkgo]

When do I get access to the online stuff? I'm in the prologue opening thing

[slate arrow]

you're already online

If you mean social, that's after you go into the inn

You're in a personal instance so you don't get lost in the player crowd

[sacred widget]

maybe it didnt use to unlock crystal tower earlier, but it does now

[remote lintel]

story skip does crystal tower yeah

[wheat nova]

Does anyone know if you could earn memories on alt job while grinding fates or doing alliance raids?

[faint flare]

Awesome thank you Vinyl much appreciated!

[blissful lava]

I need help with Alphascape V1.0 Savage, PF up on Light DC

[flat yew]

so always unlock something, right?

[slate arrow]

Good luck, but wrong chat, probably

[faint flare]

Yes

[slate arrow]

Yes

[flat yew]

but what does this one unlock. the wiki article isn't really making it clear (I doubt the food you get is an "unlock"). Is it just to get the follow-up quest? https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Precious_Reclamation

[faint flare]

Doman reconstruction

[blissful lava]

I posted on Recruitment here but I don't think ppl view it much 😥 @slate arrow

[flat yew]

ohhh

[faint flare]

Its a quest chain

[flat yew]

that makes a lot of sense

is that like ishgardian reconstruction?

[wintry chasm]

Yes and no

[faint flare]

You sell items to them

For money

[wintry chasm]

It's similar so far as you can make meaningful change to an area based on your contributions

but it's based on your player and not the server and it's donation system is different

it's basically just "dump items in to the donation box and get gil in return"

[flat yew]

so you can't use it to level?

[wintry chasm]

No

[faint flare]

No

[wintry chasm]

Just gil

[faint flare]

But is free gil

[flat yew]

is it at all worth doing for the gil tho?

[faint flare]

Its 40k free gil weekly

[slate arrow]

I mean, you also get cosmetic items

[faint flare]

At the end

[flat yew]

oh that's nice

[faint flare]

They give more gil than what other vendors would

If you sold them.stuff

[flat yew]

so you can sell them anything?

[faint flare]

Anything you can that you would to a vendor

[flat yew]

and then also get bonuses for doing so a lot?

[faint flare]

They're basically vendors

[mellow viper]

anyone know where to get the spring bottoms?

[faint flare]

That give you more money

For items

[flat yew]

that's quite nice

[wintry chasm]

you basically get value back based on it's shop selling price, for example at the start it's 120% of it's value IIRC but by the end it's something like 200%

So yeah it's just nice to sell allagan pieces to for free gil since people usually sell it on the MB for cheaper than you can give in for money

[flat yew]

do you just gather/loot trash from nodes/mobs then and sell that?

[faint flare]

Anything really

It uses the shop selling price

[wintry chasm]

gotta do fashion report then talk to the Au Ra NPC for it

[faint flare]

That vendors give you

[wintry chasm]

^

Really though Pako allagan pieces are the way to go

since it's something you can always buy for profit and it's just made for selling to vendors

[faint flare]

Or anything else that has high vendor prices

[wintry chasm]

^

Moonstones

[flat yew]

those were the things you get from quests that sell for "lots" of gil, no?

[wintry chasm]

Yes

[flat yew]

didn't know they could go on the MP

one more new thing learned today haha

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[leaden ginkgo]

I just got NIN to 60 in a week. I just do my highest level dungeon and you can do command missions if you don't wanna wait for a queue, also the frontline pvp daily roulette is basically a second leveling roulette for the huge amount of exp it gives. It only takes like 10 minutes a match for huge gains. Also eat food before each dungeon.

I am on primal and DPS queues are really not that bad unless it's a weird time of day

[cobalt mauve]

Wait frontline gives massive EXP?

[remote lintel]

frontline roulette

[leaden ginkgo]

The frontline roulette does

[cobalt mauve]

How to get frontline roulette

[leaden ginkgo]

I would highly recommend it if you wanna level faster

Just unlock frontline and it should be in the duty finder roulette section

There should be a quest or an NPC at your GC headquarters for this

[cobalt mauve]

is it called daily roulette: frontline

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah that's it'

[cobalt mauve]

or daily challenge: frontline

[leaden ginkgo]

the first one

[cobalt mauve]

cause i only have daily challenge frontline

[leaden ginkgo]

ok that's it

[leaden ginkgo]

it's the only pvp roulette under leveling/trials/etc

yes that one

[slate arrow]

Frontline is just the catch all term for the 72 player pvp modes

[leaden ginkgo]

I would go the wolves den just to familarize yourself with the pvp skills for a few minutes, frontline is basically a variation of capture the flag type modes where good teams know how to group up and burst people down

[lethal mist]

I have a quest that says "Warning. You will not be a ble to receive all the following: Company Seals." It's the "Ifrit" quest. Just curious as to what I've missed?

[slate arrow]

Your company seals.

You're capped on them

Go to your grand company HQ and go to the vendor to spend them

[lethal mist]

Oh I see. Now to remember who/where that is >_>

[hollow violet]

Is there a lore reason why the primals don't just temper anyone who opposes them instead of bothering with fighting and mass destruction? Outside of special individuals of course

(if this is explained in HW or later please just say so and avoid spoiling me)

Obv there's a huge reason regarding gameplay, but curious if there's a lore one as well

[remote lintel]

because the people have to actually be near the primal?

as in like

the same room at least

[weary dagger]

does gold saucer VIP card impact MGP earned from fashion report?

[leaden ginkgo]

Does anyone know how to use teamcraft for this? It has a lot of features

You press this, add a new list, add the item you want to make to it, then it lists out the items you need

[raw solstice]

when you're looking at BiS, you use the high speed BiS for BLM, and the RDM/SMN BiS for those jobs. The only shared piece between them (the tome ring) has the same melds

[faint flare]

So is BiS gear, they just use different pieces

[raw solstice]

this only applies for BiS

short of BiS, there's not really a comparable compatible set, since you don't have the same flexibility on pieces

[leaden ginkgo]

Sorry one more question about teamcraft: I put in a recipe i've already crafted before as a test and some mats I remember having to use are now listed as "can skip entirely", are there different ways to craft certain recipes?

[raven sage]

Some items are available at vendors fully crafted now, so the items you need can be skipped if you just buy those

[leaden ginkgo]

So those skippable items are mats for the items you can just buy now?

[raven sage]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

thank you 🙏

Materia melders npcs

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

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.

[faint flare]

Black brush station

[oak ice]

Just north of Ul'Dah

[faint flare]

For the teleport

Thats transmutation

You need materia melders npcs

They're marked on maps

In cities

That lets you meld if your crafters are equal level of the gear

Only if you want to meld without npcs

Otherwise npcs are fine

[lavish prism]

So I have a question regarding crafting gear

I have bought the i500 crafting gear with white scrips

[fresh wing]

zzz playing ninja is kinda annoying

sometimes theres delay on the handsign

[lavish prism]

Is that the best gear for my crafters?

[faint flare]

No

Aesthete fully melded is far superior

[fresh wing]

or sometimes i press 1 handsign and it does the same twice

[wispy flare]

did this person glitch through the floor?

[lavish prism]

I see. Cause I managed to craft the 2 star gear and it was worse

[faint flare]

You're probably lagging

[faint flare]

Cause they're bots

[heavy wadi]

it's a bot

[faint flare]

Scrip gear has significantly less CP which is the biggest downside

[lavish prism]

Would I be able to craft that gear using the i500 level gear that I currently have?

[faint flare]

Right click > retrieve

[slate arrow]

Assuming you meet the minimum stats, yes

#doh-dol-lounge has a guide on how to get to Aesthete's

tl;dr all HQ materials + food and a very optimized macro

[lavish prism]

Thanks a lot

[azure ivy]

how do 8men treasure maps work? do you need to find a premade party or is there a queue?

[remote lintel]

premade\

[faint flare]

Premade

[remote lintel]

you cant form a party after the portal spawns

[faint flare]

1 tank and 1 healer minimum

[azure ivy]

Is this normally found through party finder type of thing ?

[faint flare]

Yes

Just throw up a map party

[faint flare]

Say if its free for all loot or Map owner needs

[pulsar escarp]

at what point does mch and ping become an issue?

[faint flare]

With heat blast and weaving gauss/richochet

[pulsar escarp]

because apparently it's okay for lower level stuff but like.. we talking ex problems?

[faint flare]

Its a dps lost for anything if you can't properly weave Gauss and Richochet at any point, just that There's no dps checks in lower content and they onlt show up EX and up

[pulsar escarp]

ahhh I getcha

[slate arrow]

you can get 5 heat blasts off without needing to weave, but you must have at most 0 charges of Gauss and Ricochet and at 10 seconds or less for both

[pulsar escarp]

so unless it's a real tight dps check it should generally be alright but it's just gonna hurt your numbers

[cobalt mauve]

Is it normal to feel empty playing this game randomly?

[slate arrow]

yes

Not too much happens in the standard field zones, in all honesty

[remote lintel]

people dont hang in the starting zones except the cities

[slate arrow]

If you're looking for group content there's still a few things though

Hunt Trains, Fate Trains, mainly

If you're gathering there's quite a few people who chase the timed nodes for current materials

[fresh wing]

sorry how much skillspeed is ideal for ninja at 510 item level

[faint flare]

0

[fresh wing]

ok

[worldly stag]

Hello guys, how can I overmeld so that I can increase my slots

[faint flare]

Only crafted gear can be overmelded

[remote lintel]

only some gear can be overmelded

[faint flare]

And you need to level crafters or have someone who has meld for you

[worldly stag]

Yeah but how. Do I need a crafter. Or there is another way

[worldly stag]

.

[faint flare]

.

[worldly stag]

😂

[random oxide]

If I want to relinquish a plot of land, do I have to empty the storeroom or can I put all my furniture in there and relinquish after that?

[faint flare]

You need to take everything out

The storeroom is part of the house

[random oxide]

thanks

[viscid fossil]

Is it me or the moon is getting bigger?

[modest igloo]

looks the same to me

keep an eye on it for 5.5 tho

[cobalt mauve]

@remote lintel @slate arrow No like empty playing it as in I don't feel any emotion playing it, it feels mindless

[remote lintel]

sounds more like a you problem than a game problem

[little swift]

souonds like oyu're not having fun

maybe you need a break

[remote lintel]

or join an fc

or do player events

[worldly cove]

Anyone know where this is?

[remote lintel]

looks like churning mists

[worldly cove]

Thought so too, but I can't find the location

[twilit arch]

fairly certain thats the solo duty for bozja

[narrow verge]

Is there any difference on doing anima weapons a second time?
Like skipping or saving some time on certent steps?

[remote lintel]

you can buy mats in advance

[worldly cove]

sadly no

[covert berry]

is there a way to know the specific dungeon from roulette?

[crystal bluff]

wdym

[covert berry]

daily roulette let u make a random dungeon

if u can know the dungeon before joining

[strange coral]

No

[crystal bluff]

no

[covert berry]

oof i got 300k gil

what can I do?

[glacial isle]

on trial?

[covert berry]

yep

[slate arrow]

buy vendor materials

[glacial isle]

are you at Idyllshire?

[covert berry]

im at dungeon

ah

[glacial isle]

then you'll lose out on like...1k gil tops?

[covert berry]

meh

[glacial isle]

What I do when I'm at cap is just buymaterials for crafting collectables at Idyllshire

grind Blue Crafter's scrip

[covert berry]

can i store gil?

[remote lintel]

no

[slate arrow]

As you're on the free trial, nope

[covert berry]

if i buy the game, i can store gil?

[slate arrow]

You can indirectly store it with vendor stuff if you want to get into crafting

[remote lintel]

yes

[slate arrow]

You won't need to store it as your gil cap will go to (9?)99mil

[covert berry]

i like crafting

where is idyllshire?

[remote lintel]

you get there from the story

[glacial isle]

Heavensward story to be exact

[covert berry]

lvl?

[faint flare]

58 minimum

[covert berry]

oh

any other thing i could spend my gil on?

[remote lintel]

gear for other classes

[warm snow]

glamour

it'll eat up your gil super fast

[covert berry]

hm

[lilac flume]

do bozja critical engagements scale?

to number of combatants*

[slate arrow]

yes-ish

[covert berry]

@warm snow where could I find glamour with gil?

[lilac flume]

ish?

[slate arrow]

Like, they don't scale far enough for just one person but generally you'll be fine as long as you have and tank and a healer

[remote lintel]

cant really get glamour with gil on trial

[covert berry]

D:

I guess i could buy from random materials

[viscid fossil]

How do you guys manage end game gears, if these piece is unique and shared more than one job but some job - spec diff materias.

[faint flare]

Most jobs are similar melds, except lile BLM/other casters

[alpine shadow]

Usually we stick with one job, but other than that we try to share stats so both classes won't be worse.

[faint flare]

Then you just meld blm specific stuff into blm pieces

[alpine shadow]

For example, rdm + blm is a bad combi

rdm hates spellspeed

but blm loves it

[warm snow]

oh wait trial

[covert berry]

do u guys recommend buy any material that is good and available till lvl50?

[warm snow]

nvm

[alpine shadow]

No materia

[covert berry]

i may buy the game but at lvl60 ah

[alpine shadow]

that is the best way to not buy it.

[warm snow]

you don't need materia til endgame

and even then only for the endgame raids

[viscid fossil]

@alpine shadow ok I see looks like we dont' have a solution on that.. either I stick to one dps job and ... derp another job spec

[alpine shadow]

well, there is a way, iirc, you could put your gear in a retainer, and you could still swap to the good gear

[worthy rain]

People say that farming PotD is best to lvl up a dps (after done daily bonues roulettes)

But what about spam highest dungeon in squadron, than do PotD?

You have to train your squadron or something?

[viscid fossil]

ya that is just inconvenience

[remote lintel]

just do regular dungeons

[covert berry]

@warm snow i want to spend my gil, im at cap

[proven magnet]

ive asked this before but idk if it was answered but how does someone whos level 80 make $$

[remote lintel]

crafting

[proven magnet]

doing dungeons good $?

[remote lintel]

no

[proven magnet]

oh crafting? dont i need to level that up?

[remote lintel]

yes

[proven magnet]

omg

[obsidian patio]

I really only recommend squadrons for people that already leveled them up, due to how long it takes to get them dungeon-ready

[proven magnet]

why cant everything be done on the same char why cant i do mining on my 80 paladin or Dark knight

[obsidian patio]

You can

[remote lintel]

??

[proven magnet]

but cerberus said i need to level that up

[remote lintel]

you pick up all classes on one character?

yes

pick up the crafters

[proven magnet]

that means i need to make a 80 miner?

[faint flare]

You pick up at the guild

[remote lintel]

pick up the mining job

level it to 80

[faint flare]

With your character

[proven magnet]

and miner has its own skills it uses to attack mobs?

[faint flare]

Its like levelling any combat job on your character

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

No

[remote lintel]

it has skills to mine

[faint flare]

You gather stuff for xp

[remote lintel]

not combat skills

[proven magnet]

and the stuff i mine does it sell for ok $$?

[faint flare]

And do gathering quests

[remote lintel]

and if youre going to level crafters then level them all together

[obsidian patio]

Some stuff, yeah

[faint flare]

It can

Depending what it is

[signal aspen]

so I finally got missle on my blue mage, what do I have to do to get shock strike unsync'd? does hard mode work, and it's the tank buster right?

[proven magnet]

u know what ima just get my first char to level 80 then worry about that stuff

[faint flare]

Just let the spell cast and kill it

[obsidian patio]

Yes and yes.

[faint flare]

Unsync has really low chance so have fun

[signal aspen]

so it's better with a blue mage only party?

[faint flare]

Doesn't matter

[obsidian patio]

Just synced in general

[faint flare]

Only matter is that its synced

[obsidian patio]

It doesn’t need to be all blue mages

[signal aspen]

is the drop rate so bad that it's better to setup a pf?

[faint flare]

Sync makes it guaranteed

Vs the like what

[obsidian patio]

Unsynced primal spells felt around 5-10% learn rate

[faint flare]

5% or whatever

People spent like 80 runs learning one spell back in the old days

Sync whenever possible

[warm snow]

the shiva spell for example you're better off unsyncing though

[obsidian patio]

Ehh, if everyone has good spells extreme synced can go by fast.

But yeah Garuda/Shiva are the only primals where you need to do the extreme instead of the hard mode

[worthy rain]

This the inconvenient then, so PotD is best

[little swift]

not necessarily

if dps queues don't blow ass its dungeons are better

[cobalt mauve]

@remote lintel Back; anyways whenever I try to join a FC it is either super endgame or dead, and I am only post HW, which is one of the issues of me not having fun anymore

It's a like 200H grind... to have fun 🤔

[wheat plume]

What's this arrow icon?

[obsidian patio]

It’s a quest that scales in level/experience to a range

Stormblood beast tribe quests scale from 60 to 70

[wheat plume]

ko, thxs

[worthy rain]

Yes for sure dungeons are better, but if you have to grind squadron first, PotD directly may be best(?)

[little swift]

no i'm saying you can queue dungeons directly

[worthy rain]

Ok yes, but queue times still hahah

Or maybe it worth it you mean?

[little swift]

if queue times are about 5-10 minutes its still not bad

[languid raven]

Hey all, giant noob here. Ive been trying out the free trial for a couple days now, im most likely going to look into buying the game. If i purchased just the starter edition, how much content after lvl 80 is there? Should i just buy shadowbringers or can i wait for a sale?

[obsidian patio]

Can also take the queue as time to do other things, like leveling up crafters/gatherers

!faq contentunlock

[zinc orbit]

Content Location FAQ

A Realm Reborn Content
Heavensward Content
Stormblood Content
Shadowbringers Content

[wheat plume]

Can I do the stuff to send code to friend to invite him to play and I get the 2-seat mount if he is already playing in free trial?

[obsidian patio]

This has a majority of the content that you can do at level 80

They have to buy the game first to use a RAF code

They have from buying the game to before the free subscription runs out to use the code

[languid raven]

Thanks! 🙂

[remote lintel]

you cant get to lvl 80 on the starter edition

[wheat plume]

oh, so they buy the game, then I send him code and he uses it during his free 30 days, and it even works if he already has played more than 100 hours in free trial, right?

[remote lintel]

yes

[wheat plume]

RAF site says this: "The recruitment code cannot be entered after a subscription has been established. Please be sure that the recruitment code is entered before then."

So, subscription establishement is when a player pays for his 2nd month?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[remote lintel]

if they buy time they cant use other peoples codes

[wheat plume]

so even if he's during his free month, if he buys time , it'll be impossible to enter my RAF code

[spiral ridge]

Is there anything that unlocks after completing all role quests lvl 80 (the 4 apostles)?

[slate arrow]

the only way to buy time early is with a time card

[glossy flare]

Yup, another extra quest

[slate arrow]

Otherwise, he's still in the free time period

[spiral ridge]

Do you know where it starts ?

[faint flare]

At the walking stairs, same place as the role quests

Something like In Shadows we walk

Its yellow iirc

[slate arrow]

It's offered by the bartender or barmaid iirc

[spiral ridge]

Aah it's a regular quest symbol, got it ! Thanks ! (i'm so happy i've finally lvl up each role ! Wouhou !)

[remote lintel]

@spiral ridge did you beat post shadowbringers already?

theres a special dialogue option and cutscene change in one of the post quests

[wheat plume]

Can I pay the monthly subscription of a friend? I play in PS4, he plays in windows. Are there options like gift a month or something like that?

[faint flare]

Buy him time cards and give him the code

[bright badger]

Whats the drop rate on Stormblood raid orchestrions

[atomic forge]

I know I asked this before but who is a good streamer/background youtube videos for FFXIV? For analogy, for WOW I liked listening to Preach and Hazelnutty. Sometimes Taliesin and Evitel.

[remote lintel]

meoni makes videos where he just talks about the game for like an hour

[faint flare]

Depends what type of content

Handful of podcasts out there

[atomic forge]

I'll try Meoni

[faint flare]

Like State of the realm, mogtalk etc

[remote lintel]

i would be wary of listening to youtubers/streamers though since most of them are in endgame content and thus might talk about spoilers

[atomic forge]

Ya, spoilers don't bother me ty for the warning though

[spiral ridge]

Yeah it's just that I played DPS for a year and a half before trying healer and tank

[remote lintel]

you can go back to the inn and watch the cutscene for the quest ||"echoes of a fallen star" because there's a dialogue change during the inn room scene||

after you do the 5th role quest

[spiral ridge]

Cool, thanks for the tip ! I'll do that after the quest !

[wheat plume]

What's the cost of the windows (no steam) version of the game? Just the base game (arr+hw). Square site says it's $60 but I think there is a mistake in that price for the game without ShB.
That's info for a friend, I only play in PS4, so I dont know anything about playing in PC.

[strange coral]

The normal price for starter edition is $20 usd

$40 for ShB, $60 total or for complete edition

[wheat plume]

Yeah, I supposed so because that's the PS4 and steam price, but in https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/product/ says it's $59.99 for the windows Standard Edition

[strange coral]

That says Complete Edition

"Standard" isn't base/starter. It's compared to Collector's which has extra cosmetic stuff

[wheat plume]

oh, ok, why do they use simillar names lol?

thxs

[silver lintel]

are there any alternate chocobo color calculators? i guess ffxivchocobo is dated now

[wheat plume]

Some friends say steam is worse than windows edition, is that true? 2 friends play in steam and they're ok with it, but other friends say steam is baaad

[remote lintel]

its not dated

[silver lintel]

i haven't had a problem with steam here

also weird then

[remote lintel]

@wheat plume steam has less frequent sales on the game but let you use steam wallet

[wheat plume]

is that the only issue? nothing else that makes steam worse than windows?

[vernal urchin]

If you do family sharing on steam as well, having ffxiv open constantly will also cut into that

[twilit arch]

chocobo colouring is not an exact science

[lime crane]

isnt the payment of the game bound to the account? independent if I purchase it from a website or steam?

[remote lintel]

@wheat plume yes

[twilit arch]

ffxivchocobo gives you best estimate to get to the colour you want, there's still rng involved

[remote lintel]

your pc platform is locked yes

[silver lintel]

tbh i would've gone with that the first couple failures, i'm mostly stumped as to this one's where literally no change happened

[wheat plume]

That's when u make other steam user use ur games as long as ur log-out from steam, right?

[twilit arch]

the feeds give you a random +/- within a lvl range

so if you're not getting a colour change, feed like 1-2 more

[wheat plume]

so when u start paying, if ur in steam or in windows, u can't never change to the another?

[remote lintel]

correct

[wheat plume]

and why would anyone wanna change from windows to steam or from steam to windows? if both are in pc?

[faint flare]

Sales

[remote lintel]

because steam people see an SE sale and inevitably ask if they can participate

[wheat plume]

but the sales are only for buying expansions, right? or for anything else?

[remote lintel]

yes its for buying the game/expacs

[lime crane]

@remote lintel I am getting confused now 😄 I just donwloaded the game from the normal website and I created a test account. I am about to start the first character. Will I be locked to the website-Purchase now and can not go to steam?

[remote lintel]

no

you can go from the windows free trial to the steam full version

[lime crane]

From other games I know that Steam just redirects to the game launcher

[remote lintel]

theyre different licenses

you can't go from the steam trial to windows full though

[worthy rain]

PotD (in case you dont spam highest dungeon) can be made solo or party, like a dungeon, but when people mean to do it for lvl up dps, its always solo (if you dont have a static) right?

[lime crane]

the "windows version" is the one I download from the official page, right?

[remote lintel]

yes

windows is directly from SE

steam is from steam

[lime crane]

ok so getting the windows version for testing is the most flexible start then

[remote lintel]

correct

[lime crane]

you can follow with purchases for steam or stay within windows version

got it

[wheat plume]

so the only time u can change between platfrorms is from windows trial to steam buyed?

[remote lintel]

yep

yes khell

[lime crane]

the licensing is valid for both, the initial purchase as well as the monthly payment I guess

[wheat plume]

can u change from windows trial to steam trial ?

[remote lintel]

no

steam is its own thing

[wintry chasm]

You can go from Windows trial to Steam full game though

[wheat plume]

if I buy the game in more than 1 platform (steam, PS4, Windows) can I use my same account/character in all of them?

[wintry chasm]

but once you upgrade to the full game there is no other chance to change

[lime crane]

from what I read earlier the windows version is cheaper (because it has discounts more often) - is that correct?

[remote lintel]

i said that cal lol

[wintry chasm]

Yes but windows/steam not compatible

just remember that

[remote lintel]

you can't have windows and steam at the same time

if you bought the game on one then you need a new account for the other

[wintry chasm]

Yeah that's generally true

[lime crane]

wow crazy, I did not expect that 😄 good that Khell asked

[wheat plume]

so only PS4 + Steam or PS4 + Win

[remote lintel]

yes

[wheat plume]

I only play in PS4, If I wished to buy one in PC to play there too, which one would u recommend, win or steam? I'd wait until there is a sale without a hurry, so the sales are not a factor.

[warped nest]

Whichever one is more convenient for you

[remote lintel]

if you care about steam wallet then steam

if you dont care then i would say windows

[wheat plume]

I dont care about steam wallet

and I dont find anyone more convenient than the other if the only difference is sales.

[wheat plume]

Why?

[remote lintel]

for sales lol

[wheat plume]

using steam uses extra resources?

[remote lintel]

no

if you dont care about sales then it doesnt matter

[warped nest]

Just flip a coin

And stick with the decision

[unique geyser]

I just bought a friend the ARR skip so he wouldn't have to do patch content. He used the code and it teleported his character to coerthas, but it didn't progress his quests at all. does anyone know if he did something wrong?

[wheat plume]

haha, nice choice

[remote lintel]

what does his msq tracker say

[warped nest]

@unique geyser he should be right at the beginning of Heavensward

[unique geyser]

it has his current quest on it, which is a 2.3 quest

yeah I know he should be, but hes not which is why I'm asking lol

[remote lintel]

did he relog

[unique geyser]

twice

[wintry chasm]

What did you buy him?

[unique geyser]

he's on the quest "When the Cold Sets In" which is the same quest he was on before and after he redeemed it

[unique geyser]

... the ARR skip

[remote lintel]

what is the name of the product on the receipt

[wintry chasm]

you sure?

What Cerb said

[unique geyser]

yes

Product Contents: Tales of Adventure: A Realm Reborn

it is supposed to drop him off at the end of the 2.55 patch content

[wintry chasm]

and he definitely used his item from the inventory?

[unique geyser]

does it give an item? I dont know if he knew that

I'll check

[remote lintel]

it sends you a book in the mail

[wintry chasm]

moogle mail -> grab book -> use it

[remote lintel]

and you use the book

also the skip drops him off at 3.0 not 2.55

[unique geyser]

he checked his mail, didnt get anything

[wintry chasm]

When did you buy it for him?

[warped nest]

In game moggle mail?

[remote lintel]

did he clear his mailbox and click request delivery

[unique geyser]

about 15 minutes ago, yes in-game

[wintry chasm]

Okay then what Cerb said

[remote lintel]

you might have to wait a bit more

[wintry chasm]

and also get him to check his inventory

just in case he did get it already and did not pay a single bit of attention

[unique geyser]

his inventory is pretty empty, its not in there. I just had him use request and nothing appeared either

[faint flare]

It takes time

[remote lintel]

then wait a bit

he would get a mail notification if it comes

[unique geyser]

I've never had a shop item take more than 2 minutes to appear, how long does it usually take?

[remote lintel]

not long

[frosty falcon]

i bought something that took like 20 mins the other day

[sleek roost]

There's always been a fair bit of variance. Sometimes you'll be waiting 2 minutes, sometimes up to a couple hours

So long as there's room in their mailbox it will show up sooner or later

[winged oyster]

whats the fastest way to lvl @ 61rdm? other than MSQ

[little swift]

great gubal library

roulettes

potd

[trim acorn]

I purchased the game on PS5, I only purchased the Shadowbringers without having purchased the starter edition and it still wont let me launch the game. Im assuming i screwed up and also need too buy the starter edition?

[remote lintel]

yes

you bought the dlc without the base game

[trim acorn]

ripo

[winged oyster]

how far does POTD take you?

[trim acorn]

I already had the starter edition from pc

potd is for dps with long queues

heaven on high is the 61-70 option

[warped nest]

You can do hoh between 61-70

More information

[winged oyster]

How do you check if you've done 50. I think I full cleared it before. But it was years ago

[warm snow]

Can you exchange for weapons?

Cuz that's unlocked from level 50

[drifting ruin]

is it possible to make it so you can switch targets while casting?

blm kinda frustrating

[warm snow]

You can switch targets while casting but whatever you're casting will still be aimed at the initial target

[drifting ruin]

yeah that's what I want to change

[warm snow]

No cuz you already started casting at that target

You can move to interrupt the cast

[drifting ruin]

It's so annoying how in a lot of content blm is effectively useless on trash packs because all the mobs will die before you even get a second cast off

which is kinda required for any kind of significant aoe dps

at least in early content

[slate arrow]

thats when you just get good at targeting and go for the highest health mob

alternatively, use triplecast and swift as much as you can

[drifting ruin]

I understand to select the highest health mob, but even that seems to rarely work out

I'll get maybe 1 cast off

meanwhile the melee dps have been slapping them up with instant skills

[deep gyro]

what determines whether you get a glass pumpkin or firecrest at the end of potd?

[glossy flare]

Only play with people who suck at the game then I guess 😄

[glossy flare]

Completely random afaik

[deep gyro]

ah i see ty

[leaden ginkgo]

Does POTD give good EXP for leveling even if you are *level 58. I’ve never done it before so I’d be starting on the first floor

[glossy flare]

It's good until lvl 60, not from the first floor though

Would at least need 50 for it to be efficient

[leaden ginkgo]

How long would it take to get past 50?

I’m sure it might take longer than dungeon spamming but at least I’m trying new content

[deep gyro]

its always worth buliding up some aetherpool and unlocking floor 50

for when you want to level other classes from level 1 in the future

[leaden ginkgo]

Good point

[deep gyro]

unless you plan to boost all the rest of your classes

but i already unlocked palace floor 50 when i made that decision so

[leaden ginkgo]

Probably won’t be worth it just to get to 59 and unlock the library though from what you’re saying, I’ll just do it for fun later

[lilac flume]

is 2 the max number of lost actions for bozja always or can you upgrade it eventually?

[faint flare]

That you can use at one time yes

You can hold many in your holster

[lilac flume]

dont the ones yo ureplace eget deleted though?

[faint flare]

Yes

[lilac flume]

rip

[faint flare]

But they're easy to get

[fallen niche]

Does Feint stacked with Reprisal?

[faint flare]

Yes

[tender ice]

How much Umbrite and Crystal Sand do I actually need for the Anima relic quest?

[twilit arch]

between 60-80

80 if you're super unlucky on the second half, and don't proc any bonus (which is unlikely)

[tender ice]

Howcome it doesn't say that anywhere?

This mission has me a bit confused

[little swift]

its a bit of math involved

so you need to allocate 240 stat points total to your weapon

[split fern]

Is there a class pros/cons list somewhere?

[little swift]

the first 120 points have no rng

and you'll get 3 sands per umbrite/crystal sand combination

the last 120 points you can get between 3-6 sands per combo

so thats where teh rng comes from

@split fern check the pins for a video but all jobs are fine for all content

[split fern]

Ok

[delicate field]

to learn a blue mage spell from a dungeon, do you have to finish the dungeon or just kill the one who has it?

[warped nest]

Kill the one

[faint flare]

Kill the target who has it

Can leave after

[delicate field]

oh good thx guys

[warm snow]

You also have to see the enemy cast the spell

[delicate field]

I ended up getting owned by the first trash mob while trying to solo aurum vale at level 50, so that's not gonna happen lol

[gusty hare]

what is the easiest way to get ilv 430 to begin 5.1 msq?

[faint flare]

Easiest is to buy Exarchic HQ on market board

[gusty hare]

hmmm okay

[remote lintel]

i mean easiest is getting your AF gear

from grenoldt

for free

[faint flare]

You need accessories

[delicate field]

they're ilevel 510 so you'd only need a few pieces to get 430 ilevel

[faint flare]

Ontop of that

[gusty hare]

its ilv 420 only

oh no sorry its 430

mb

[remote lintel]

can do eden raids and get accessories

[gusty hare]

i can do eden with only 5.0?

[remote lintel]

the first 2 tiers yes

[gusty hare]

nice

[delicate field]

@remote lintel what is AF gear

[remote lintel]

the job gear

[faint flare]

Artifact gear

[delicate field]

oh so artifact quest?

[remote lintel]

no

[delicate field]

oh wait its not legendary is it

[remote lintel]

the job gear

from your job quests

[azure ivy]

what's the ratio for crafters so you know how many stats you need to hit for the item difficulty?

[silver ruin]

what

you need to meet the minimum stats atleast thats listed

[drifting ruin]

Anyone know why this is happening when trying to queue for the normal raids roulette?

blm, 193 ilvl

[slate arrow]

you only have one normal raid duty unlocked

[leaden ginkgo]

Do chocobos gain XP while stabled?

[slate arrow]

from food, yes

[drifting ruin]

but

[faint flare]

One/none normal mode raid that you're eligible for

Aka you need more Alexander raids unlocked

[drifting ruin]

sigh

[slate arrow]

your item level could also be too low to qualify for the other normal raids

we don't know

[drifting ruin]

is there a list of the raids involved in this roulette?

[faint flare]

At 193 thats only Alexander stuff

[slate arrow]

at 60 it's only alexander

[faint flare]

Alexander normals, omega normals and eden normals

Aka all but coils

[leaden ginkgo]

So there’s no point in just leaving them there I guess

[drifting ruin]

yeah that'll be it, I never did alexander

[faint flare]

Thats why then

You have no raids you're eligible for
