elfin stag
is anyone else having connection problems to FF servers? I keep lagging and losing connection, never happened before
slate arrow
probably a bad node
elfin stag
meaning? anything I can do to fix?
slate arrow
tl;dr something happened between you and the servers, you could use a VPN to force an alternate route
otherwise, just wait
jade quartz
Meaning an issue on the route which your Internet service provider routes your connection through.

jade quartz
Probably most of us

What do you keybind ur mouse thumb button too?
elfin stag
alright i see i guess ill just wait it out, thanks
jade quartz
I haven’t got one of those
tough viper
The buttons on the side of the mouse if you have them
slate arrow
I don't use anything on my mouse outside the defaults
jade quartz
But you can use them as hotbar slots, or as a modifier like shift or ctrl for your hotbar

Only accessible during a quest. Do you have a quest objective telling you to go there?

Simply follow the MSQ
You can’t unlock things out of order

fickle bane
I just started the game and see that you can do a mentor thing for exp boosts, anyone wanna be my mentor c: currently in Midgardsormr i think thats how its spelled
faint flare
The xp boost is meaningless
It only works overworld and lv20 and under
Majority od people dont know it even exists
jade quartz
Yeah, not really worth your time
faint flare
Your level doesn't mean anything anyway
jade quartz
Not like you need an exp boost anyway
fickle bane
oh jesus
jade quartz
Most players end up outleveling the story as a matter of course
fickle bane
should i literally just spam the story then and do other stuff available to me?
jade quartz
Just from doing the story
boreal storm
Pretty much
faint flare
Story and job quests are top priority
hallow sparrow
Ofcrs level means alot, its whole story
faint flare
There's no point in overlevelling
jade quartz
Prioritise the main story, class/job quests, and blue quests 
which unlock features and content
jade quartz
Ofcrs level means alot, its whole story
In the sense that there’s no point leveling beyond story progression
Level isn’t something new players should be concerned about
And it’s near-impossible to be under-leveled for story these days
fickle bane
gotcha! I am honestly just trying to catcch up with my friend who is somehow lvl 31 in less than 24 hours
jade quartz
If he’s not ahead of you in story progress then that doesn’t matter
The only meaningful progression as a new player is story progression

are guildleves important? Should I do the introductory quest for them or move on with other campaign quests?
jade quartz
If you don’t do the story then you can hit level 80 and congrats, you literally can’t do anything with it
jade quartz
are guildleves important? Should I do the introductory quest for them or move on...
Not important. They’re good for leveling crafters and gatherers
faint flare
are guildleves important? Should I do the introductory quest for them or move on...
They're extremely outdated tutorials

Virtually useless for combat jobs
faint flare
Inn rooms arent something you "do"
delicate field
Lyon guild levés are those roulette thibgs
jade quartz
what about inn rooms? isthat something I should do?
Inn rooms aren’t something you have to “do”
faint flare
You have it
wind dragon
Ok I'll ignore guildleves for now then
jade quartz
Lyon guild levés are those roulette thibgs
No those are hests
delicate field
Oh right, guild levés are just low level right?
jade quartz
Leves exist through the whole game
Although they stop making combat ones after level 60 and make them only for crafting and gathering
Because those are the only ones that ever mattered anyway
delicate field
Are guild levés and levés the same?
jade quartz
Yes
Leves is short for guildleves
Also called levequests in some places
But it’s all just
Leves
delicate field
Lol ok, odd
jade quartz
Pronounced “leaves” btw
wind dragon
ok so an inn room is basically just rented player housing? a place to get rested xp when you log out?
Is that right?
delicate field
Yeah i don't know why it keeps adding that é in there
slate arrow
not even 'housing'
wind dragon
by housing I just meant an instanced space
jade quartz
Inn rooms aren’t something you have to “do”
To finish what I was gonna say here, the inn room contains some features that are useful too you like the aesthetician (hairdresser) and the glamour dresser
slate arrow
it's just a personal room you can use for flavour, glamour, and retainer management
delicate field
Inn is where you go to make glam plates lol
slate arrow
can't customize them or anything
wind dragon
right ok
jade quartz
It’s not “rented”, it’s free and you always have it accessible in every major city
pseudo quartz
Any place with an Aetherytes gives you rested exp, just look for that moon symbol by your exp bar.
jade quartz
You don’t need to go there for rested exp yeah
delicate field
Oh do you have to log out in a safe zone to get rested xp?
pseudo quartz
Pretty much
jade quartz
Though if you log out in an inn room you do get a cute cutscene of your character going to sleep in bed
pseudo quartz
The game gives you an extra log out prompt if you're not in a safe zone
jade quartz
But it doesn’t have any extra effect
pseudo quartz
To make sure you're really sure.
jade quartz
Once upon a time you had to be in an inn room to receive rested exp, but that was a pain so they just made it any sanctuary (aetheryte settlement)

basically if you're doing that amount of crafting, very recommended to have something to watch/do while running a macro
pseudo quartz
This is a very minor question that probably doesn't have a correct answer so feel free to ignore, but for squadrons, would you take a 40% boost to activation rates (80 with synergy) or 20% chance for gathering scrips (100 with synergy) ?
pseudo quartz
Er their chemistry bonus
pseudo quartz
Like' 20% chance to come back with crystal clusters if you bring an archer'
Or something like that
slate arrow
20% for gathering scrips is like, one extra rotation for my scrip gathering route fwiw
i'd go with chemistry for something potentially better

are collectables the only way to get gathering scrips or is there a more efficient method?

Feel like google search is better for your question

afaik no
just have to keep in mind that the launcher IS a third party program so use at your own risk
jade quartz
Don’t discuss it ingame and you shouldn’t be at any risk
delicate field
I scoured their disc and various forums and didn't see that SE was against it
leaden ginkgo
If someone reports you then they will look into it
remote lintel
3rd party programs by default are a gray zone
jade quartz
All third party software that interacts with the game is against the terms of service
But several such programs are widely used as a matter of course
delicate field
Good point, enforcement is a different story
leaden ginkgo
Why use it though.
delicate field
GatherBuddy
twilit arch
it has a lot of extra features that are really nice
plus it can fix some of the issues people have with the launcher itself
Default launcher can be...temperamental for some people
delicate field
You type /gather <item name> and it changes your class and puts a flag on the map where to gather it
remote lintel
people get random errors on the regular launcher
jade quartz
The regular launcher is just made of cardboard and paper clips.
delicate field
Launcher hooks into the game and provides many QoL changes and addons
leaden ginkgo
I play on controller so UI changes aren’t too big for me and I play on PS4 so launcher is not that problem. So I never considered it
fading helm

main suggestions to fix are: try a different browser, try mobile data, turn off vpn if you use one

then try turning off ad/popup blockers as well
leaden ginkgo
oh god yep it was ublock screwing things up lmao
Thanks for the help, I guess when I get a response from the support team I'll have to tell them I figured out the issue
Also is there a way to check my support tickets? Every game I've played has had a thing that lets you view a list of your tickets and their status, etc.

Double check that the quest is active (on the quest list on the side of your screen) by opening the journal, but sometimes instead of quest markers they'll put red circles indicating where an objective might be, but it can be hard to see if your map is too zoomed out.

Or you get one crafting item by "breaking" the equipment?

That's the crafting class and level required to repair it yourself

but without using the dye
leaden ginkgo
Go to any armor piece > dye > select the option to view all your armor equipped > there's like a paint can thing below your character to see how it would all look with the same dye
The moonfire faire was in August last year, so I'd guess it's always around that time
zinc orbitBOT
arctic orbit
oh cool thanks
leaden ginkgo
As for dance partner, they get the buff from standard step and devilment
arctic orbit
is there a way to have the same armour with different dyes in 2 different gllamour plates
like if i wanted the exact same set but in one plate its red
and in another plate its black
leaden ginkgo
Yup, just make the same set but dye it differently in each plate
arctic orbit
so when you dye a piece of armour in glamour plate does it only dye it for that plate
or how does that work so that it doesnt overwrite it
leaden ginkgo
As for dance partner, they get the buff from standard step and devilment
so does the dance partner get a 5% damage buff pretty much the whole fight?
arctic orbit
once its saved is it a screenshot of how the armour used to be?
leaden ginkgo
Yes it does. So you can have the same armor set in all colors of the rainbow as long as it's on a different plate
arctic orbit
ok cool
leaden ginkgo
so does the dance partner get a 5% damage buff pretty much the whole fight?
As long as you have it, it does

Standard step can be a dps loss during aoe pulls. If there's 3+ mobs it's better to just refresh it when it's about to drop off

@fading helm here's your answer
plain python
only has one set of MSQ gear in ShB. Should I give it to healer or tank role?
the gear chests
leaden ginkgo
Whichever you play more, or see yourself playing more. So whatever role would get the most use out of it
plain python
would ilv400 sustain me until I get to lv80?
dire prawn
i400 is Scaevan right?
In which case the Lv 75 dungeon in ShB is where you'll see gear for the first time that outperforms it
leaden ginkgo
Scaevan is roughly an equivalent to gear dropping in holminster switch. It'd be better to keep upgrading after that.
dire prawn
Momo what level are you

Dohn Mheg gear is ilv400 btw

if i dump all my dyes on my retainer can i still use them in glamour plates

leaden ginkgo
They need to be in your inventory to be used
plain python
just entering greatwood now
dire prawn
I'd just take whatever upgrades you get for gear until you hit 80 then pick up a full set of Exarchic gear off MB or have somebody craft it for you
Unless the difficulty spike in ShB past where Scaevan starts becoming outdated gear is a big one
karmic niche
After lvl 75 dungeon you should wear a new gear that drop in the dungeons but it really doesn't lvl 70 scaven gears can carry you to 80

And then Exarchic gear at 80 (i510 crafted gear) is like, maybe 35k at most on MB

MSQs have their own level assigned to them
obsidian patio
class level is entirely separate from the story
languid folio
i have no idea what you just said im new to the game
what is a MSQ

and HW
warm snow
Main story quest
White mage
Heavensward
In that order
Or main scenario quest for the first one
dire prawn
I'm in the first expansion following ARR which is where you're at
warm snow
If you look at your exp bar you'll see 3 letters denoting your current class
THM for thaumaturgist PUG for Pugilist ARC for arcanist etc.
warm snow
The main expansions are shortened to ARR for A Realm Reborn, HW Heavensward, SB Stormblood, ShB Shadowbringers
Oops, shows how much attention I paid to that one
languid folio
so im lvl 31GLA and i have no idea how to track MSQ level but id assume its the current level of my current main quest
dire prawn
Yes
languid folio
and level 50 is when you get to HW?
dire prawn
Main Scenario Quest (MSQ)
You'll be past Lv 50 by the time you make it to HW but yes it starts at 50
warm snow
Lv50 is the end of ARR but the patch content (basically from the end of 2.0 to the start of 3.0) is all level 50 content
Your exp gain from msq will be scaled down during this content
dire prawn
By scaled down
You go from several tens of thousands of exp
To 4k
In Heavensward I went from over 150k exp per MSQ to 16k
jade quartz
This is because these quests were formerly quests done at the level cap. The exp was added to them as an afterthought when the level cap was increased. You’re supposed to just do all those quests while remaining about level 50.
(Though you will most likely get overleveled anyway)
warm snow
It'll get screwier in 6.0 with the stats squish
dire prawn
You don't get overleveled too hard unless you do leveling roulette every day
Unless you're on a preferred world
languid folio
im not going to pretend i know what any of these really means seeing as im not close to HW or level 50 yet

ok well ive got 30 minutes now
next question say i want to swap jobs how would i go about doing that and is it even worth doing as i would have to level it back up to 30 or so to contine MSQ
dire prawn
You'd have to level it to 20
Lord of the Inferno is a Lv 20 MSQ
And your next handful of quests are also 20
But anyways
Have you been doing your job quests

You can just use steam as a launcher for the non-steam launcher if you really want it in your steam library
But you can’t switch over to using steam wallet for sub and stuff
