okay, thank you
Is there a reason to buy starter edition before i reach heavensward? Or should i enjoy free trial until then and decide later?
if you dont want restrictions
No, unless you really hate the restrictions
!faq freetrial
Basically, they kneecap all social interactions on the free trial
Also limited item storage due to not having access to retainers
where to get replica anima weapons? o: i'm at sharpened in regular quest. can replicas only be obtained after u finish all?
the restoration node in azys lla sells the replicas for the anima weapon
what is more worth: Paying for more retainers? Paying for more characters per server so that I can have more retainers? Or play a character in another server for retainers and somehow pump collected materials to the main? 🤔
if you make another character then you have to level them up and do the story and find a 3rd person to transfer materials to your main
if i were to solo bahamut t13 are there any mechanics i should look out for
like i mean i'll watch a guide but is there any instant death wacky shit
don't want a repeat of t9
Ahk Morn will do a LOT of damage when it hits you
even unsynced??
For an easy way to deal with the divebombs in the intermission, stand in the center until both markers go out and then go right to the front of bahamut. Done right you should never get launched into the wall
quick question about market board, if I sold something in Gridania will it only show on the Gridania board?
All market boards show it
ah gotcha, ty
ah so it doesn't matter where I set it up
Some city-states get a reduced sales tax for a period of time, which you can check by talking to the retainer vocates
It’s free to move retainers between cities so it’s not a major commitment
ah ok got it, still fairly new tryin out all these stuff
oh so to get those cheap tax I need to move retainers?
Yep
What’s the best raid food for AST right now?
depends which bis set youre going for
anyone know the best way to get flame seals when i just started with my grand company, need to rank up so i can turn in gear for seals
Leveling roulette and hunting logs
Grand company hunting log, fates, and leveling roulette’s adventurer in need bonus
Spell speed x
I'm stuck on the MSQ Shadow Bringers cause my ilvl isn't 410, but I can't spend allegory tombstones for some reason
Is there a reason why?
@leaden ginkgo twilight popotoe salad
because you need to beat shb to unlock the tome vendors
Thank you very much 💙
Dang
Did you get the free i430 from Grenolt? It should be the boost you need. Otherwise HQ i510 is cheap
I didn't see anything he gave me
Talk to him and he should have a listing of gear
Where is grenolt sorry
in the tempest
does HoT stay active when you're like, stunned due to mechanics? like during e12s' relativities' debuff resolving times?
Yes
does fairy still heal?
yes
Mann, it's my first day of Ast and it's hard to please, but the mechanics seem easier than scholar
Got the gear, thanks for looking out
People are always mad but everyone was silent when I was WHM
sch is less of a reactive healer than the other 2
wait there is free i430?
the job gear is i430
oh I thought it is 440
did the opposite, went from ast to sch because I find it more enjoyable :p
i hated sch but i started playing it when i got bored of whm and ast so i could fill the void
to each us own, I start as WHM and back to be WHM
Whm extremely simple, so you get bored with the class.
which is fine for people who like it simple but effective. For me, I like to see monsters fail to do anything for 8s cuz holy spam.
Assize is the most badass looking skill anyone could have
Just wait for earthly star
I wished Ast did that but with a card
Personally the opposite as I find AST extremely boring even though I like the aesthetics of the class
yeah same, aesthetics are nice but it isn't super interesting, lots of timed-heal abilities at max too
Healer that I enjoyed the most was def Scholar
Pre 5.0
Post 5.0 It's White Mage but I still do like Scholar even now
Besides 5.0 at launch of course, Scholar was something else during those times

sch is pretty decent now
at least, in 8 mans
i don't think i'd do dungeons as sch lol
Scholar's current state is balanced
All 3 healers are currently viable and well-off for midcore/hardcore content
sch feels good when complimenting a whm or ast, but on its own... eh
emergency tactics is handy
I mean usually in this case for midcore/hardcore you're going to want to have 2 differing healers
So in that course it would be fine
In the case of casual content which is alot more unpredictable
Scholar is significantly more weird to play depending on the circumstances
yeah no i've realized that
Which is why I usually opt for White Mage in most forms of content currently but that'll probably change with the release of Sage depending on how I feel about the class at launch
it's... clunky, but I enjoy it more than whm or ast
How do I unlock masked carnival level 26-30?
Complete the level 60 BLU quest
And then 70 BLU gives the 31st level for ||Gogo||
Ah, you got it from steam then
Steam's kinda weird with the whole launcher setup afaik
100 hours left to download 



Don’t worry, most of the time it’s only a few files that go slow
if i bought on steam, can I launch through the launcher on the web using the same account?
Have to launch through steam

Any will do
Thanalan is an option if you want to crossbreed it with another seed
Grade 3 Thanalan Topsoil for crossbreeding, yeah
but anything else for just growing an onion
Shroud topsoil is useless because you can't get more than 1 crop yield per thav onion seed
And La Noscean topsoil is also useless because you can't get HQ onions
It's recommended that you always be crossbreeding something
mmmk. thank you both! 🙂
Are you able to augment the role quest gear you get at lvl 80?
no
then just use it as glam
wym
what
it wont let me
do you have glamour prisms in your inventory
Are you trying to glam it onto a lower level staff
how do i farm for memory of dying??
oops xD i forgot i dont have exarch staff on
You can get dyable versions of lv80 gear but the weapon isn't dyable
how do i farm for memory of dying??
What "Unique Rewards" do you get from Squadron Dungeons and can you farm Moogle Tomestones from them?
which ones, they're all called that
red yellow
Yes afaik
!faq memoryfates
You can get moggle tomestones from them
these are 1 per fate @oblique yew
Thx
Rewards are usually potions/items/company tonics/aetheryte tickets etc
so not unique at all
Unless i'm missing something since I usually don't delve into squadron dungeons you'd primarily want to do it for the moggle tomestones
i am not getting them
do you have the quest active
its like very random
Are you actually contributing enough to the fate
it shouldn't be random at all
i am getting once every 3 fates
you have to get enough rating from the fates
gold contribution
if there are a lot of people and you're not in a party it becomes a tad harder
The only unique things are the rewards from sending them out on missions, not taking them with you in dungeons
well there is a few unique emotes you can get from running dungeons with them, but that's from an achievement for running 10 dungeons
@little swift do you know which region fates the different types of memories? like HW seems to give me yellow

Why ppl leave so fast in dungeons and I can't give commendations 
if it is like the alex raids, i can understand that. no one likes the garbo drops from the normal raids.
Hey I saw that monks got a few changes recently, are they any fun to play rn?
yeah most people think its good rn
Biggest change is that you no longer have to upkeep greased lightning--now it's simply a passive trait that you always have on, meaning monks just have a fast GCD inherently.
so it's more consistent and gets punished way less by downtime in fights
Also you get to use tornado kick all the time now
The basic rotation is still the same
does pick clean work on bamboo sticks?
Yes provided your HQ% chance on bamboo sticks is not 0%
yeah that's fine
i just wanted to make sure before i used it, i need quantity is all and it doesn't work on some of the things in unspoiled nodes
like dark matter clusters
i guess it also has to be something that has a HQ version so it can fit both parts of the buff
But my healer she/he was good and guided me thru the dungeons. Worst part I couldn't whisper thank you
it did indeed work, thanks
Who my chocobo sometimes runs faster and sometimes slower?
in the bottom right corner, those red buttons, i think it's the center one should be travel
then click on mount speed
you have different mount speeds for each area
What is the best way to get all comms needed for mentor?
flying is separate and always max speed but newer areas typically have a slow speed, then you increase it with quests, and you can increase it further with maps which are now obsolete, now the best way is via flying
Probably play a healer
Play healer and DPs effectively in my experience
I main healer, but whats the best stuff to run?
tank seems to get the second most, sometimes dps
the dungeon seldom matters as much as the performance and such
I find I get 3comm almost every expert or leveling run on WHM
maybe try something people aren't trying to speedrun like roulettes
Coolio, ty!!! I need like 300 more
a lot of people hop out of roulettes as fast as they can and ignore comms
though if i had to pick, i'd say the best are just dungeons
Ive been playing for about a year but u dont play super often
trials and raids have double the classes
standard dungeon runs tend to get good comms though yeah
tbh it's just gonna take a lot of time though
i've played for like a year and a half and only have 500 comms and i main healer
Yeah, a year so far
i used to get tons when i did roulettes though which i don't do much anymore
I got about 1200 rn
if i were to start farming roulettes again as well as maybe dungeons for event tomestones i think i'd start getting a decent amount
It takes so much time
I find for whatever reason tanking is more reliable comms wise in trials and raids.
Healing for dungeons.
When i tank alliance raids i get good comms
Hello there! I'm still pretty new to the game and I've just started fishing, got a few levels in (am fisher lvl15 now). So I was wondering if I should just use the last baits available as in highest level ones all the time? or does it not work depending of places where you fish?
hey when i'm too low at 51 to do higher level MSQ and did dailie 50-60-70 roulette dungeons, how else can i level quicker? 50+
leveling roulette, alliance, and frontline
dont do the 50/60/70 roulette
50/60/70 dungeons dont give good xp
do the other roulettes and spam dusk vigil
Different fish need different baits. For quests they usually tell you what to use. For everything else you can guess or it look it up online. Although I believe versatile lure works for most fish while leveling.
Alright thank you! I was confused since I was not sure if I was cluttering my inventory for nothing or not! 
kind of a stupid question whats the difference between 1 chest and 2 chest in eden savage
1 chest only gives you one of the chests, and its random which one
8 people havent cleared for that week = 2 chests
less than 4 cleared = 1 chest
more than 4 cleared = 0 chest
also that
not sure what happens when exactly 4 cleared though?
depends which chest you get
like for 12s for instance
you could get the chest with the mount
or the chest with the weapon coffer
but not both if its one chest
you cant pick what chest will appear
so you might be double screwed on loot
ah ok
@modest igloo thank you.
well then it does not matter i have not get both before ghen
so one chest still good
gotcha now
still gotta roll against everyone else who hasnt cleared for the week
yea
but those who have cleared for the week cant roll again
yea

Hi everyone I’m new here to the discord and brand new to the game
I play on PS4
The controls are really weird and difficult to remember and to learn at least for me they are
And I have severe ADHD and severe learning disabilities so I don’t learn easily or very well
I could always use a lot of help
It’s nice to meet you all
I’m a lvl 6 pugilist
if you find the controls weird then maybe play something other than pugilist
since every gcd is a positional
@remote lintel
What’s that mean?
I mean basic controls are weird how to click on something with the big arrow above there head
And how the navigation is
And how to go to each thing on the hud things like that
I’m only lvl 6
skills that require you to hit the side or rear of the boss are positionals
ninja and dragoon have 3, samurai has 2, and monk has 6
And right now I’m only doing the free trial to try out the game so I can’t join nothing for help
GCD Global Cooldown. Basically each skill you hit. Monk (Pugilist) has a ton of skills that do extra damage based on where you are in relation to the mob
you can join the novice network
@remote lintel
What’s a novice network
As for controls... Just play more. It's like any game, you need to get used to it.
an in game chat channel thats like this channel but less moderated
its not each skill that you hit
I'm aware. It was a tl:dr for the new person who probably doesn't recognize terminology.
I meaan, if you’re level 6, just keep playing to get more used to UI and game environment; then do personalisation later
@thorny sinew
Yeah thanks
I played MMO’s a lot
Eso, black desert, bless unleashed
And eso is way to hard for me it’s way to overwhelming so I’m trying this one
Didn’t care for bless and black desert was confusing and hard for me to learn so I figure I’ll try this game
And I’m brand new to ps4
I just got it a few days ago I came from Xbox one
its not accurate
GCDs are labeled as "weaponskill" in the tooltip
oGCDs are "ability"
also i recommend you use a usb keyboard or something so you can type
What did I obtain from buying the game for 20$ on steam
sounds like the starter edition
@remote lintel
How can I play with a keyboard on PS4
What does it include?\
you dont play with the keyboard, you just use it to type in chat
@inland crystal a realm reborn and heavensward
Right now I’m using the free trial to see if I like the game that’s weird that the free trial let’s you rank up to lvl 60
Ain’t lvl 70 max lvl for the game?
So what would be worth it to buy the game and pay subscription
lvl 80 is the cap
Hello, asking about ARR relic. Lets say im halfway completing the FIRST book for atma lance, yet I am going to abandon it and gonna work at atma paladin instead.
Do I need to throw away the book first, or can just continue with the same book?
and the free trial stops after the first expansion
so you wouldnt be able to finish the story
@remote lintel
Ok well that’s weird that free trial let’s you play to almost max lvl what’s the point in buying the game and paying a subscription just to game 20 more lvls
80 is the current cap. You have access to a giant part of the game on the free trial. It's one of the best "free" sections out of any paid MMO on the market.
If you fall in love with the game at any point during the trial, you can of course buy the expansion.
@dire rose because like i said, you can only play half the game
Because it's not just 20 more levels. Expansions are huge and full of content.
Yeah good point
Why is it that tier VII materia's stat buff is lower than tier VI?
I like the game so far
I have played 3 classes can’t figure out which one I like the best
I tried 2 of the magic based, pugilist, and the sword class
@rugged flicker because theyre not direct upgrades
tier 7 isnt meant to be an "upgrade" to tier 6
VIIs are for Overmelding, VIs (and VIIIs) are basic meld slots
VIs go on the slots you see when you hover over an item.
But they've never done that with anybody other material before then.
But one thing I don’t like about the game is how slow combat is
You do 1 attack and you have to wait a cool down and your vulnerable during that time
I’m used to fast combat like in eso and black desert
VIIs go over those slots if Advanced Melding is allowed for that gear
Its usually done for crafted gear
@dire rose eso and black desert arent traditional mmos and also at lvl 6 you literally have like 5% of your skills
Cooldowns are like 2 seconds
I mean, during the 4.0 patch couldn't they have just given VII VI's buffs and lowered VI's buffs to make it consistent?
Enemies are limited by the GCD too. They have their own attack speed and aren't just going to constantly pepper you with 200 extra attacks during the 2.5s cooldown period. You also only have a fraction of your kit at level 6. This is a traditional MMO, that's how combat works.
because its Square Enix, they'd much rather have to add 2 materia tiers every expansion rather than rework old ones
To be honest
They'd still have 2 new tiers
meanwhile at lvl 80 I'm constantly moving and hitting buttons
The materia thing is likely to just make it so you can't sit on a stockpile of materia going into a new level cap.
@remote lintel
@thorny sinew
Yeah thanks I’m not used to it that’s all I’m sure I’ll get used to it at some point
I’m low lvl cause I keep starting over with a new class cause it’s hard to decide what class I wanna main
you can main them all
you can have all classes on 1 character
one on character
you dont need to make new characters
Oh
Yeah, stick with one character and around the level 10 (15? It's been ages) Main Quest, you'll get the ability to unlock others.
@thorny sinew
Oh that’s cool
For the moogle event, which items are unobtainable outside of the event? Which ones should I be aiming for? 😮
Falcon mount
the falcon mount
Falcon Ship
Falcon
and the earring
When do I get to go out in the world and explore??
I been doing NPC quests
I’m in Ul dah
I just don’t wanna go out in open world if I’m too low of lvl
do msq
Okay!! Thank you 😊
Just follow the Main Quest
you can ignore 
They'd just be consistent.
Do story and you’ll be overleveled in no time
Late addition forgot to hit send before. ><
This is a very story based MMO. You must follow the MSQ or you won't unlock anything.
@thorny sinew
@boreal storm
Which quest marker is the main quest marker?


That’s what it looks like
you should also do your job quests which appear under the msq tracker in the top left of your screen
Also the Next quest banner in the top left corner
If the default UI has the tracker on your screen, you'll see it listed there as well.
There ya go, top left it seems.
@remote lintel
@boreal storm
Yeah I been doing them too
Is there websites that have good info on them for help also?
also do
(except the ones that say "leves of" or that unlock classes you dont want) because they unlock content
what kind of info
I don’t know like help with lvling
Getting mounts
Making friends to play with
Info on quests
Help on quests
Help with navigation
Things like that
That give more info on abilities
!faq newplayertips
you can read the ability tooltips in actions and traits
@remote lintel
Oh that’s cool
PS4 is a lot harder than pc is
With pc you have a mouse and jus click on everything
PS4 has confusing controls to do stuff
No it isn't. It's just different.
pretty sure you can connect a bluetooth mouse to ps4
You can plug in a mouse and keyboard on PS4
yeah
And that ^
also a controller tip that helps immensely: left/right on dpad cycles enemies, up/down cycles teammates
LT/RT+LB/RB cycles through enemies by distance
Left/Right cycles through everything actually
im talking about in combat
Ah
navigating menus easier
i use controller on pc but most of the time i just use my mouse to click menus
@remote lintel
Oh ok what happens on PS4 gif on the controls choose screen if I pick keyboard and mouse instead of a controller
then your hotbars change to pc hotbars and it plays like a regular mmo
are all relic hunting this bad?
So I can play the game on PS4 with pc controls instead of controller controls?
if you wanted to yes
You've been told that a few times now.
yes, if you dont know how to farm them yet
You can also plug a controller into a pc and play it there with a gamepad. It's just a matter of preference.
@remote lintel
Dang cool hmmm that would probably be a lot easier for me than on controller
@thorny sinew
I don’t have a pc that can handle games I just use it for social media and surfing the web
Alright?
I have a $150 dollar laptop it’s all I can afford
So I’m a console gamer
I have never played a pc game before so it would be really new to me
it might be more difficult when you get more skills
people usually use 12345, ctrl+12345, qert, f, zxcv keys etc.
It really comes down to what you're most comfortable with. If you've always played games with a controller, stick with it and you'll figure it out. There is no content that you are barred from clearing based on your input preference.
Yeah, my mates basic 1-2-3 combo is 1-3-F for whatever wonky reason.
@remote lintel
Don’t you just have to click on the skill you want to use with the mouse and keep doing that?
Clicking is waaaaay slower, and you'll have a much harder time moving without mouse control helping you.
Oh ok
Couldn’t I just put my abilities on the number keys or is there more than 10 abilities that you get
average class has like 30 abilities
pc players usually need 3 hotbars for each class
Dang that’s a lot
My Astro layout
controller only needs like 2 since their hotbars have more slots
You can keybind every single skill if you wish.
Dang that’s crazy maybe controller would be easier for me than
I just watch a lot of twitch streams and gaming looks so cool and so much easier with a mouse and keyboard with them just clicking on everything with the mouse
It's not easier. It's just different.
looks can be deceiving
theyre both easy when you get used to them
There's not a chance in hell that I could pick up a controller with this game and succeed, but that's just because I've been a kb+m player for over 20 years. It's reflex.
@thorny sinew
Dang that’s really cool
same, and I've seen many raiders play with PS4 controller and dominate
But I've also watched people trounce content on a controller like they were sleeping through it.
But I’m also kind of against pc gaming
I consider mods cheating cause it changes the way the game is played and shown
That’s my opinion
there are no mods that affect gameplay
That's a very different conversation anyhow.
Just keep playing the game. We all promise that you'll be using the controller to do things without even realizing it before long.
^
I mean with games that have mods like eso, gta online, games like that it’s a unfair advantage cause console players don’t have mods
Well we do for Skyrim and FO4
This isn't those games
theres no mods that give pc players an advantage over ps4
So
Different conversation and not really for this channel.
Tbh there are some that provide slight advantages but nothing groundbreaking but thats a whole another topic (well, except one mod)
the only "advantage" would be a damage parser but those arent required to do well at all
Yeah I’m sure I’ll be kicking major butt in the game in no time
It just takes time and practice
Another thing I don’t understand is the subscription prices and how long they last
!faq subprice
Yeah I don’t understand the way they are said
entry subscription is cheaper but only allows a max of 8 characters and you can only have 1 character per server
standard lets you buy more days upfront
So I get 180 days for $12.99
no
Monthly price*
See that kind of stuff I don’t understand about the subs pricing
well, just pick entry
Its a breakdown to show that bulk buying is cheaper
What’s the entry do
normal player doesn't req standard price
entry subscription is cheaper but only allows a max of 8 characters and you can only have 1 character per server
for the 180 days option, that is 6 months, so you are paying for 6 months and it costs 12.99 per month
so you would be paying like 77$ up front
I would advocate against the 180$ month
Coming from personal experience
Since there’s factors within your life that could take time away from the game or purely because burnout can happen
30 days and to an extent 90 days are pretty reasonable
I would probably only do 30 days for the first couple months cause I don’t wanna spend a lot for a multiple month sub if I get bored with the game or come to a hard point in game and quit or whatever
Yeah exactly
Friend of mine payed for 6 months and was inactive for half of that time
I wouldn't do a 6 month right now because there's a giant content lull not that far into the future.
You mean there isnt already
I know only 2 type of player who willing to pay 6 months upfront.
- take advantage of retainer services.
- want veteran reward
even if you own a house, you can just stick with 30 days entry and skip a month if you burn out.
Yeah good point so I’ll probably only do 30 days cause I have ADHD and learning disabilities so I don’t learn very easily or understand easily and I get bored with games easily I always switch games that I’m playing for awhile
Just do trial to start
i suggest using crysta to pay for sub so that you can just refill the crysta whenever you want more time
Dang you can get houses in the game? Like eso?
I can’t wait til I get a flying mount that will be so super cool
all mounts fly
Yes and every mount flies
you have to unlock flying
Flying is a per zone bases
Housing system is pretty weird
Our FC leader went up to a plot surrounded by several people and just knabbed it
What’s a crysta?
its just a way to pay for stuff on mog station
Ok what’s mog station
14s account management
the ff14 account website
I am currently on the free trial
you made a mog station account when you made your free trial account
How do you use the crysta?
And how do you add time to it
Oh so I can use mog station now?
Even on free trial?
you just pay for crysta and choose it as a subscription payment
then when your sub runs out it will take the crysta if you have enough
i use it so it doesnt automatically charge my credit card
@remote lintel
That’s cool
What server are you all on so I can get help in game from you all if your ok with it
im on the primal data center
@remote lintel
That’s cool
I’m on aether
And I’m on satanan or something like that
people on different data centers cant play together sadly
That sucks
So, what about mods and add ons for the game. I know that officially FFXIV rejects parsers but only if you talk about the data in the logs right? How about other add ons like a healing mod etc. I remember there being a bunch in wow that made healing easier and other things like that. Do you recommend any?
Thanks everyone for your help
I need to get some sleep
Goodnight everyone
Talk to you all tomorrow
Healing mods as in?
like overlays
yeah ive never heard of those before
None like that
I'm sorry I don't know the specific name for them
Though there is one that makes mouseover actions instant
I think it was called curse fire or something on WoW
mouseover macros?
Oh ok. I didn't know
Yea theres a plugin that makes certain mouseover actions be able to queue
huh
What about Parsers are those flat out rejected or can we use them to look at our DPS?
They are fine, but don't use it to bully
Parsers are don't talk about them ingame or to harass someone
I got it. Thanks.
Parsers are flat out, 100%, not allowed. But so long as you don't mention them, they're pretty much ignored.
And know that SE always have the right to do something, even if it is highly unlikely
"dont talk as in 'hey your dps is lower than the tank can you do better'"
^
I say that because parse runs straight up admit they're using parsers
Once you played the game long enough
You can kinda eyeball if people are pulling their weight
No worries
I'm a free2play account
I'm just remembering things I did in SWTOR and WoW
You have the same rules everyone else does, free trial or not.
It creates some funny moments where everyone knows one guy isn't pulling their weight to meet the rdps check but no one can say anything
, but I didn't wanna break any rules here.
Just hope they do better the next pull
Most of the rules boil down to "Don't be a dick" and "Don't bot"
the only add-ons that are allowed are shader mods such as reshade/gshade
Ok. I won't add anything. I'm having tons of fun and I won't play around with any of that stuff.
Thanks for your help

Question - I'm trying to aim for one of the gcd tiers for SAM, 2.07, but I'm uncertain if this number includes the food buff or not.
It includes shifu
I know it includes shifu, thats not what I asked.
Typically sam use smoked chicken
This one uses fettucine
ok
Since food is about 1 tier of sks
I was off by one gcd to hit a perfect loop, didnt know if that was me or not...
Having a slightly off gcd tier can do that
Would either have to adjust sks or use a different filler
Yeah, I'm at the target, just havent used that food

Never done Eureka, how long does it take to get to where you unlock BA?
are poetic tombstomes use @ 80? or just 70 gear?
only until 70, the current 80 gear use the other two tomestones
when endwalker comes out 80 gear would be buyable with poetics
Poetics is the universal tomestone for older endgame contents
So, like what ultiga said, once we reach Endwalker
All the Shadowbringers gears that are traded with Revelation and Allegory will swap over to using Poetics instead
whatever your lowest ilvl is
I get the cyrstarium gear right? the 490?
Yeah, gaining ilvl is the most important thing at first
yes
Yeah
if you've got the gil you can get the 510 crafted gear (edit, ty)
its 510
I personally don't really recommend it
fatfingered, sorry
Unless you want to make them yourself
also, I hope they drop the "unique" requirement for the 80 rings when EW drops
They probably will
there are a handful of optional dungeons, but yeah, you need to complete at least part of the MSQ to get the quests for these unlocked
!faq contentunlock
I believe most of the optional dungeons are in ARR and HW
Stormblood lvl 63 dungeon should be the last non
dungeon
2 of the lv80 dungeons are optional
In terms of non-level cap, yeah
do you need to complete Return to Ivalice to start getting the ShB relic?
are the relic weapon quest worth doing ?
yes
Oh yeah, those two are 
zodiac (50), anima (60), and eureka (70) weapons are mostly only for glamour now
resistance (80) weapons are quite good if you don't do savage
Yes
do I need to do the previous weapon quests in order to do the resistance quest ?
No
The relic stands alone
You don't need to carry a weapon through Zodiac, Anima, and eureka to get it into resistance
That's ridiculous
Yeah
you need the sb 24 man raids to do the shb relic
Go get em
can you do them with randoms?
The 8 man Omega raid outside Rhaglr reach is a different thing than the 24 man Return to Ivalice alliance raid
Yes, Lex
ok I was asking because I heard of this bozjan thing and it sounded fun
is bojzan unlocked thru the ShB relic quest line?
do I need to do the relic quest to get to it
no, and no
@lone violet it is also a decent way to level other combat jobs from lvl 71 to 80
other way around
at lvl22, should I level via duties or hunting logs?
you need to unlock bozja first before doing relics
neither
Dungeons
PotD
@covert berry hunting logs are one off
Daily Leveling Roulette
they provide a modest amount of exp, so don't neglect them
Hunting log is decent, but it is a one time thing
but I wouldn't go out of my way to do the hunting logs either
so dungeons only?
hunting logs are for 15 and below
Roulette you can do each of them once per day
:p
potd if youre a dps with 15min+ queues
!faq altlvlguide
For more detailed information
guess dungeons
Friendly reminder: there is no need to out level your 
I don't see the The bozja incident in rhalgr's reach
its an alt
Because you outlevel it anyways
Ahhh, fair
@delicate field also: Bozja is unlocked before you can start the relic quest as it starts inside the "lobby" zone for Bozja - but it's very quick to get it kicked off (you go to Kugane)
note: you also have to have completed Shadowbringers 5.0 in addition to Return to Ivalice
@lone violet you need to finish the ivalice raid before it shows up
@lone violet did you do hail to the queen
is potd better than dungeons?
Hail to the Queen can be unlocked in Kugane
no
Out of curiosity what's the name of the DRG unlock quest
ok
for DPS it's more efficient time-wise, but current-level dungeons should always be preferred
no
"eye of the dragoon"
I assume I have to do my stormblood raids unlocked first in order to get to bojzan
thats what we said
Is there any way to preview cash shop clothes on specific races/genders?
FFXIV Web Model Viewer
and I was saying - get to completing them if you haven't already - now is the perfect time
everyone's farming them for mogtomes
or gamerescape pictures
thanks
Are people still spamming Syrcus Tower
yes, but now that people are spamming the RtI raids for mogtomes, it's become a bit more balanced (also the HW raids have been popping up more often too)
bigly th anks
is there a list of the dungeons, raids, and trials I can reference to make sure I unlock everything ?
lodestone database
thank you
its a good idea to unlock everything in the duty finder right ? even if its older content ?
do we make more dmg hitting behind?
it depends
Yes, and it shouldnt be that difficult other than doing some quests to unlock all duty stuff.
depends?
!faq positionals
You do more damage behind if the skill has a positional requirement of being behind
any class?
you dont see this in your skill description until a certain level
only melee
only melee dps
only melee
dragoon has positionals in lower levels iirc
only samurai has 50+ positionals
ah i see
lies
but just keep an eye out because skills might suddenly have positional bonuses at a certain level
wym
*existing skills
mnk seems to have a positional on lvl1
flank zone means something?
yeah but you're also getting kenki if you hit those positionals
I would like to introduce you to Kenki Mastery II
Unless I'm misremembering what it does
the positionals grant extra kenki
so... only melee does more dmg behind, the rest of the classes can hit any part of the boss
all skills grant kenki with Kenki Mastery II, but you get more by hitting positionals, as Cerb said
you need to hit certain skills from either rear or flank
its not the same as your blanket statement
you need to read the tooltips
individually
you cant afk behind the boss
but yes all classes aside from melee DPS (drg/nin/sam/mnk) can hit any part of the boss
that said, ideally you should be behind the boss anyway - so you don't get hit by cleaves
keep in mind, some bosses have no arrow which means all positional skills are free
ideally you should not be in the cleave zone*
also there is a directional parry mechanic that pops up sometimes in end game content (not often) which will knock all classes back and deal damage if you hit from the wrong directions, but there will be a very obvious visual indicator for that
it pops up in lower levels
i wasnt talking abt eden
mila is talking about the shields
i said very rarely didnt i? :p
varis had directional parry
delubrum has the mechanic too
ravana was old end game content
i think?
extreme version anyway
this is where you can only attack a specific side, yeah?
but if there are lower level directional parries i must have forgotten
otherwise 0 and knockback
i think there is one in kugane castle
its been so long
i cant remember all of them in the game lol
sophia has one (on one of the adds, iirc)
its in ravana normal
ah i see

hi
Hello
how to do the free trial for this game
Is Eden's 3rd verse still populated?
normal yes, savage no
Normal still populated? Nice
theres zero reason for people to do savage for last tier at this point except boredom
I've been waiting for almost 30 minutes for the last 2nd verse
populated enough to get queue to pop at some point
you will be waiting a while for most of them
it will not be fast
I don't think I'll be able to finish weapon trial before my free login campaign ends
so someone asked my friend if they had "fastcast rez"
saying that he should "fast cast and then rez"
anyone know what they were referrring to?
yeah swiftcast
oh ok thanks
unless the guy is an idiot and doesnt know which healers have which skills
What if you're me and have only played the one healer so you don't know what the others do
scholar is the only healer without a skill that decreases cast speed
except swiftcast
Hi, is this the channel to get some help about the account?
Is that a yes?
Well not realy but it is account related yes
generally in these channels you post the question and if someone has an answer they will answer it and if not usually someone will direct you somewhere that you might be able to solve it
This is the right place to ask questions here in the discord yes. Go ahead and just ask and we can tell you if we can help or not.
If we can't help we can direct you to a place that can
The thing is ive created account on square enix store, bought the game have the key received, now downloaded the game launcher, aand launcher asking my id to log in
Where is that id held?
its your square enix id
Well then its not working
i think you need one to make a purchase on the se website
Yes i did thats how i bought the game
The thing is the ID on store account doesnt work
Im abit lost where i did something wrong
i think the store account
is different to a square enix account
confusing i know
try to go to square enix website in your region
and create an account
@little swift come here
because it seems like square enix store account can be separate from a square enix account
Well tbh i tried yesterday to create the account on square enix aswell and then it said the ID is not available,
maybe someone else took it
Now i have to wait 24h to try again with the same email to create account
because when i try to create a square enix store account it says i can link it to my square enix account which leads me to believe they are separate accounts
But can i lets say create new email adress and with that new account on square enix and still be able to use the game key?
yeah i think you just need to create a square enix account first before you can log into the client
or play any square enix online games
Okay thank you very much😋
i think you can change your email afterwards as long as its not already registered to another account
Well the game itself seems to be only bought i havent even redeem the key
make sure to put your real date of birth
Why real?
Aaah i wont forget no no
you might lose your account if you forget your login
@deep gyro surprisingly, I got Ruby party 
yeah i told you it just takes some time :),
Great ty
Just need 2 healers and 2 dps for Eden
100% agree with this, you'll need to mess with square enix support if you forget your birthday and that's a huge pain
can you stop a macro in progress when crafting?
SE support is bad?
so make an 'Observe' macro and use as a stop button?
I personally haven't had any issues, but I'm not a fan of customer support in general
They resolved my password and security token issue nbd
How do you line up housing items flush/straight line? Is there a mouse/keyboard function to rotate left/right? Currently I have to feather touch the controller button triggers
in one ingredient, sometimes i craft one that has a symbol of a moon
what does it means?

High Quality
theres a snap to grid function iirc
no, that symbol means high quality
hq has different implications for different items

not sure if im doing ok but im leveling the jobs (hand) by doing easy recipes, not for the gil but for the exp
Hey I'm wondering are Skystool tools for crafting better than the 3 star tools for crafting?
check here for best in slot
wait a minute. There are 4 star crafting tools?
wait
nvm
im stupid
sorry
is 3 star aetheste
if so yeh 3 star is bis
sorry im sleep deprived
yeah so far its only 3 star for crafting tools
my bad yeh
aesthete set is bis when fully melded
but having "best in slot" right now for crafters is different than bis for combat classes
for crafters you just need to hit certain thresholds for whatever macro you're using
having better melds just helps you use less HQ mats and/or use macros with less steps
and any extra stats above that is for future proofing
what would be the lvl to make gil with culinarian, for example? i assume its high lvls like 70 80, thats why im doing easy exp synthesis repetitive but not sure if im doing ok
so you have an easier time crafting the next set that comes out
if you wanna make gil you gotta level all crafters and gatherers to 80
and also invest time in studying the marketboard to see what sells well and how often
can i obtain all 6 bitter memories on the same day?
yes
antitower spam
kill bozja mobs with cluster party
reflect farm in bozja
those are your three options
*three best
@deep gyro im currently leveling some jobs to 60 as im free trial
so i assume "rushing"
your gil is capped at 300k so
buying tones of material and quick synthesis them all for rush lvl
leve for disciples of hand?
what 😮
tradecraft leves i believe they are called
you need to do class quests else you wont get all your skills
isnt rush x99 quick synthesis not better?
this goes for all classes
im putting them like lvl25 or 30 then doing class quests
its not efficient
why
the exp you get at lvl 25 for doing lvl 5 quest is shit
where as at level 5 you could have leveled lets say half a level or something
i mean... lvl5 to 6 is in less than one minute
surr
i get what u are saying
sure but at higher levels you shouldnt skip class quests
i wont skip
its just for leveling ahah
yes i know
and when im afk at classroom (example)
also quick synthesis will eat a lot shards/crystals and with no acces to the mb will be a sin to gather
that happens when you use your quick synthesis method
doesnt happen usually
what did you expect with "quick"? haha
crystals/shards are get from mining only?
if you die 99 times in 99 seconds your combat gear will drop to 0 durability fast too
does the duty finder peep up during the day or night 😅
Hello all so my alarm goes off 1 hour or 2 hours before the actual time I just set up an alarm for a node that spawns at 8pm ET time but my alarm just went off at 6pm ET time
Is there any way to fix this
show us your alarm
theres a number before the rp for repeat at the end
thats how many irl minutes earlier the alarm goes off
change your macro
there is a 5 in your macro
a 5 by itself
change it to however many irl minutes earlier you want the alarm to go off
Do I change any thing here
reminder is the field you want to change
alarm goes off 3 irl minutes before the ET you set
delete it if you want it to go off exactly at that time
Okay I will try that for the 10 clock spawn and see if it works thanks so much
also idk for your server but ethereal cocoon goes for like 20 gil each on the marketboard for mine
I was just using at as an example 🙂
oh ok np
does Square enix have live chat?
Yes they do
someone I know got hit by one of those lodestone links
would they even need to remember their birthdate?
because they know everything outside that on that account
It doesn’t matter they ask you to take a picture of your ID and place it next to your log in screen
That was long time ago I forgot almost all my detail and they asked my to go take a picture of an ID such as driving license and place it next to your Login screen
I’m at level 20 BLU now and my arm is only level1
Can’t I get another arm?
Nothing in markets
ya they have all the details they're just missing one
@leaden ginkgo blue mage weapons are basically glamour until you get to 60/70 where they have materia slots. They scale their damage much more highly from the intelligence stat
Yeah but health is the problem .
You need better gear in general
@signal aspen best thing is to contact them they will definitely help
So I just need to wear gear for all classes right
Wish there were blue specific gear
Stuff with intelligence, on it, yeah

So for the SCH 58 quest I need to get onto a frozen boat, but there's literally no way up onto the boat
Any ideas?
I googled it, apparently you NEED to unlock flying here to do this quest
surprised you haven't unlocked flying in coerthas west
I'm rushing through msq on an alt so I didn't do currents
Gating a job quest behind an optional artificial form of progression is a really fucking stupid idea
What is the best way to get the moogle tomestones?
AV as part of a party of blue mages
or you can ask someone nicely to fly you there
everyone and their grandma has a multi seater mount now
4+
Okay! Thank you 👍
How do you do bahamut synced in 2021
Most people don’t really do old extreme/savage content synced. You’ll need to use party finder or discords dedicated to that kind of stuff
I think this is the one for Light https://discord.gg/AQbZUbg
Ok
Easiest way would be 3 BLUs with Ultravibration and Missile, and one tank - coordinate UV to oneshot all mobs before the first boss, missile first boss, blast morbol rooms with regular skills, UV all mobs before boss 2, missile second, UV the next 2 pulls at once, blast the last morbol room, UV (the first person will be off cooldown now) the last pull. Dps the last boss normally.
having one regular tank just makes bosses and trash pulls a bit more comfortable
You can pull everything into the last Morbol room and explode everything

So I changed my password and now I'm getting this:
"Based upon recent suspicious activity, we have identified that your account may potentially be at risk. For your protection, we have temporarily suspended login access to this account.
Instructions for lifting this restriction have been sent to the email address registered to your Square Enix Account.

- However, I'm not receiving an email at all. Does anyone know how long I have to wait before they lift the suspension?
follow the link, instructions are there
I cannot figure out a way to get the download to go faster than 0.05 mb/s
at this rate, it would take thousands of minutes
i have done everything
i download at 20 mb/s normally.
Yes but it says that "Instructions to remove the login restriction will be emailed to the registered email on the account." and as I said, I'm not getting an email from them at all 😦
you dont need the email to remove login restriction
you just need to follow the link and it has a link to remove your restriction
this has happened to me like 10 times
just follow the link in the message and reset your password there
Just changed to a vpn, what would be the best region?
