Sweet, thanks. Any reccomendations on my first class?
ff14 has good class balance
play whatever you want
you're encouraged to play numerous classes since sticking to one will cause you to severely outlevel your story quests
find 2-3 you like and jump into it
pick a preferred server for a 2x exp bonus for 90 days
but the exp bonus is not necessary

What is the most efficient way of getting Crystal Sands?
I farmed it with those Amber things from the Levequests, but I've ran out of Allowances
open ember
Do you have a gatherer leveled up
open ember
Well crystal sand is obtainable from Blue Gatherer's Scrip Tokens
But collectables are unlocked at lv50
Which is why I asked
robust crow
getting it from scrips through gatherers/crafters is by far the most efficient method tbh
you get like 2000 scrips for virtually free every week from custom deliveries
tender ice
I have no idea how any of that works
robust crow
it'd only take like 2 weeks worth of scrips to finish the whole step
slate arrow
Crafters is the most efficient if you have the time or gil to just buy the collectible materials
tl;Dr make HQ crafts, turn in for crafter tomes, use crafter tomes to buy blue crafter/gatherer scrip tokens, trade tokens for sand
tender ice
ah so you buy it with those tokens?
slate arrow
in a nutshell, yes
I'm sitting on a pile of 535 of them after going crazy grinding scrips
tender ice
Apparently I need Yellow scrips to buy them
slate arrow
Yellow scrips is used for most of previous expansion scrip stuff
It's basically poetics for crafters

just reset your password I guess, or set up the One Time Password
open ember
Perhaps I should've worded it better but yea it maybe better to just level a crafter or gatherer to 50/60 and then do collectables

I don't think you unlock your first custom delivery until like

A realm reborn weapon exchange, I think. You can just discard em since they're not better than ironworks
twilit arch
no
the weapons those buy have no augment verison
so if you want them for glamour you need to use the token to purchase them

Ohhhh
Wait those the weapons from the quest "Primal Focus"
I got them mixed with the poetics tokens
twilit arch
yes

Is there an easiest crafter/gather to level?
delicate field
culinarian is pretty easy
tender ice
I read on Reddit Alchemist is the easiest, but it's from a year ago so idk
delicate field
it doesnt use things made by other classes
alchemy also doesnt use things from other crafters so its also nice
tender ice

a password change worked, im wonder why it didnt work on my other account

how does decorating an apartment work, do you gotta buy decorations like lego pieces or what

Does desnyth on trial shield give the same chance as other items/weapons to get the rare item?

I am asking because the shield is cheaper to buy
oak ice
No one knows the exact rates for desynth, but even if the chance is lower, the base chance is low enough that 3 times as many desynths would help more

high grail
Which is better feather rain or eruption
vernal urchin
feather rain is technically better iirc, does a tiny bit more potency
good for groups, too
for single target it's only good if the dot gets to go through it's full duration
slate arrow
Feather rain also scales of SpS since it's a DOT so it really depends on your current stats
vernal urchin
ah is that so
high grail
Thx o/
slate arrow
So if you have a high SpS build it'll do more damage total assuming every tick hits

I've looked at all the guides i could find, have no furniture in my apartment, and still it says I can't transfer BECAUSE I have an apartment xD I'm at a loss
ebon sphinx
Oh. I thought that was the opposite of what the SE guide said?
twilit arch
the only time you can have housing when you transfer is if you're transferring from congested > preferred
as you'll get refunded

open ember
There are currently no congested worlds at this time

You'd still need to follow transfer restrictions/rules even if its within the DC

ARR, easily
twilit arch
ARR 100%
faint flare
Arr has books
robust crow
arguably stormblood's relic takes longer since you have to do all of eureka
faint flare
Enough said
lilac thicket
good to know, I'm just about done with Gae Bolg (Zeta Longinus) and it was literal hell on earth
robust crow
but ARR's is by far the worst and most tedious
twilit arch
stormblood's relics only take longer first time thru tbh
Because you have to level up, after that its really not that bad
robust crow
eureka is actually somewhat fun sometimes
most times it's not
but i'd redo eureka any day than do fucking books again
twilit arch
for ARR, doing multiple relics isn't going remain fairly tedious
vernal urchin
only bad part about eureka is having to spend a while in pagos :V
twilit arch
even if you prefarm several of the mats, the books still going to be the most annoying step
gritty oracle
yeah but for Eureka, just do it and after a while, the relic will drop in your lap, while ARR is BS RNG upon RNG upon random ass stuff you have to do
robust crow
an insane person could probably grind out the entirety of the ARR relic in a week, but
faint flare
"those books, those damn books"
vernal urchin
wouldn't say the ARR relic is that rng based outside of atmas
twilit arch
dont need to do final zone bosses for anemos/pagos/pyros
robust crow
sure you don't
lilac thicket
why do you do this to yourself @slate arrow
lilac thicket
its taking me about a month or so and I feel sick... doing it in 4 days? madness
slate arrow
because i really wanted the PLD relic okay
robust crow
on the flip side, heavensward relic is by far the easiest
you can actively work toward it just by dumping spare poetics and scrips into it
have enough shit pre-farmed and you can do the entire relic in 1 day from scratch

olive falcon
hey i'm new to the game, would you say i should farm grand company seals in order to get better gear i can get from the quartermaster? or will i get some better stuff from mcq/dungeons later
i'm level 30
twilit arch
msq/dungeons will generally keep you decently geared
olive falcon
the thing is i look like a hobo and all the grand company gear items for lvl 27 are much better in terms of def/dmg from what i have
wheat plume
the big robot in Castrum Meridianum that needs to be stun , when is his shield? 80,60,35 ???
olive falcon
so i should just do msq, ok thanks, i was wondering because before i got the best gear from the hall of novice, there's such a thing for a gear step up at lvl 30?
remote lintel
hall of the novice just gives you good gear at low level
delicate field
is it worth maxing out shared fate? it seems lengthy
remote lintel
it lets you buy things like furniture and minions

do you need to understand the story?
the game is 75% story so
the quests tell you where to go and what to do yes
you dont do it yourself

alphi’s plan will get referred to constantly from that point til the end of arr so it’s worth paying attention to the details imo
jade quartz
Skipping won’t hinder your gameplay
To answer your question
Skip if you really wanna
remote lintel
you need to pay attention to npc dialogue during instances
jade quartz
Watch the dialogues during the actual fight instance
That stuff is pointed out if you watch those
But story cutscenes aren’t vital to understanding what to do.
Objectives will pop up too
On screen, in chat box and on the quest list
Yeah that’ll screw you
remote lintel
they literally tell you what to do
jade quartz
You don’t need cutscenes but you do need to pay attention to that stuff during fights

meta don't exist

When queuing for automatic matchmaking, it’s just looking for any class to fit the role (tank/healer/dps)
heavy wadi
all classes are balanced
tropic bear
Alright then, what role is in highest demand
heavy wadi
they are of equal viability in all levels of content
jade quartz
You’re in the same queue with other healers
heavy wadi
it's just a matter of preference
jade quartz
Alright then, what role is in highest demand
In duty finder auto matchmaking, definitely healers
glossy flare
Alright then, what role is in highest demand
Healer with tanks coming in a close second place
shrewd owl
Tanks and Healers get really fast queue times
remote lintel
in endgame content? you have set group compositions so theyre all in demand

Healers a bit moreso
jade quartz
Then tanks then power gap then dps
tropic bear
I played wow for like two months and had queue times of 45-90 minutes as Monk and don't want that again
shrewd owl
the woes of a dps
remote lintel
dps queues are around like 15-20 mins
glossy flare
Then do not play dps and you should be (mostly) fine
mighty cairn
So queue times are just like wows lmao
remote lintel
you do endgame content to GET good gear so
jade quartz
Depends what the context is and what you mean by good gear
glossy flare
Well yeah, not the game's fault if way more people play dps than tanks or healers really
mighty cairn
Which its typical though. most people like hitting more than healing or getting hit
jade quartz
Have gear appropriate for the content you’re doing
glossy flare
Which its typical though. most people like hitting more than healing or getting ...
Who says tanks or healers are not about hitting stuff 
glossy flare
I'm serious, everyone is about the dmg
remote lintel
you dont queue for endgame content and secondly i already said

especially not ultimates

That was 5.3 ish. not. 4
jade quartz
Like specifically that you have a good build for your job
faint flare
Or something
glossy flare
Oh right that was 5.35 iirc
wintry chasm
That was 5.3 ish. not. 4
something like that, it was just adding new wards to existing places
jade quartz
So that you’re not a tank with full tenacity build for example

faint flare
More wards
jade quartz
Basically be competent
glossy flare

it was just adding new wards to existing places

rough fossil
Oh. How many were there before?
slate arrow
Ishgard housing won't be until 6.01
heavy wadi
6.1
slate arrow
that
rough fossil
That must have been exciting
faint flare
It was another bloodbath
wintry chasm
Oh yeah so how are they doing Ishgard housing anyway? Are they doing that "FCs and relocation get first pick again"?
heavy wadi
dunno yet
rough fossil
Would they post stuff about that on the patch website? I am assuming we won’t be getting anything for 5.5 or they would have said something
faint flare
They tell us in advance
glossy flare
They will mention it at some point, yeah
jade quartz
Yes it will be detailed in advance
wintry chasm
Well the patch site is still getting updated afaik but yeah they would mention it before release
jade quartz
No there is no additional housing coming in 5.5
twilit arch
we would've known by now if there was, basically they give atleast a month or so of advanced notice if new wards are being added
but given they already said that 6.1 is going to bring Ishgard housing
there's not going to be any new wards until then
rough fossil
I’m saving for the chance of moving into a M or L when 6.1 hits but it would kill me if they dropped some new wards in the meantime and I didn’t have the money
rough fossil
Finally nabbed a PS5 so at least I have a sporting chance now

Thats a fine substat spread
As long as they adjust for the increased sks they get from this weapon in their other gear
Otherwise the can dump into tenacity i suppose
manic flare
i thought tenacity was the least important substat for tank weapons?
faint flare
You got nothing else to put the points into
You already cap on crit and det in the weapon
So its either extra skill speed, meaning you can change some other gear to get yourself back down to your normal gcd or tenacity for basically poor mans determination

hi, i just got the game a few days ago, and i'm wondering how jobs work. the website seems to show different jobs than you can select at the beginning?
remote lintel
jobs are upgrades of classes
loud flicker
ah okay
faint flare
The job guode shows all the jobs in the game
remote lintel
archer is the class, bard is the job
loud flicker
so do classes lead to multiple different jobs?
faint flare
Only arcanist
shrewd owl
except arcanist
loud flicker
oh well thats the one i picked lol
remote lintel
arcanist becomes scholar or summoner
loud flicker
also, how do you get the job?
remote lintel
!faq job
zinc orbitBOT
loud flicker
okay thanks!!
remote lintel
also if you unlock both scholar and summoner, they will share exp. so if you level up on summoner you will level up on scholar automatically
loud flicker
i know you can change your class by changing weapons, can you change your job?
loud flicker
oh okay
shut panther
basically in the initial release classes and jobs were distinctly different things
But now classes are just the form of certain jobs <clvl 30
loud flicker
alright cool
remote lintel
the devs didnt really want scholar and summoner to be tied together but its too late to change it so
¯_(ツ)_/¯
shut panther
The terms are basically interchangeable at this point. The only thing you need to know is what class leads to the job you want, where applicable

i have a question about the free trial sign up
i thought it'd be a simple series of typing and clicking, i'd never wanted to play the game till now but this is ridiculous
i signed up to try it out, got the code, entered it, and it locked me out for 24 hours
i come back today and tried to retrieve a password, or something, anything, and it says there's no email associated to the account
what is this 😭
i have about 3 accounts for this now, and only the 3rd one allows me to login to square equinox, but not get into the trial

You need to make a mogstation account
The square enix website account isn't what you use to log into the game

@pliant fjord it really sounds like you're trying to log into Mogstation with a Square Enix Store account, or vice versa. That is usually the case when someone said "I just made this account but now it's saying it doesn't exist"

There's a quest called "My Little Chocobo"

Even if you buy one off the cash shop, you need to do that quest to unlocks mounts
So you're basically without mounts for at least 20 levels

Neither is better, just means you’re locked into one or the other

But biggest difference is that Steam locks you to it in terms of buying the game/expansions

i think i need to learn the cc icon more , so when i play healer i can know which one is cc to clear

Outside of those its free reign
