[wintry chasm]

TL:DR glamour plates are glamour outfits you can make and then connect that to gearsets so when you swap job it swaps glam instantly and makes glamming new gear easy

[faint flare]

Theyre basically templates

You can make

In short

[remote lintel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQxIuKtfrAk

explains everything

[edgy mantle]

whats the main thing to do after reaching max level ?

[shut panther]

depends what you're in to

[jade quartz]

There is a large variety of content.

[edgy mantle]

im coming from WoW mythic content/m+

[shut panther]

the one thing you really can't do before max level that is available at max is difficult content, I guess

which are savage raids and ultimate

s

[stark sleet]

Depends on what you're after. If you want to get into end game content like Extremes and Savages, probably catch up on MSQ to unlock the most recent dungeons, do experts roulette/run those dungeons to get Tomestones for gear, and that gear can carry you into Extremes and Savages

[jade quartz]

Savage raids and Ultimates

[scarlet arrow]

finish the MSQ, unlock end-game content (Eden and YorHA raids, Weapon trials), work on other jobs, try gathering/crafting, etc.

[edgy mantle]

thanks

[shut panther]

basically, not much really changes at level 80

[scarlet arrow]

be aware that there is no M+ equivalent in FFXIV

[shut panther]

just as any level before, you unlock more content

[edgy mantle]

so the best equipment drops in savage raids?

[shut panther]

correct

[faint flare]

Combination of savage gear and augmented tome gear, and augments come from savage first and foremost

[little swift]

best in slot is a mix of savage gear and augmetned tome gear

its never a full set of either

[jade quartz]

There aren't high-difficulty dungeons yeah

endgame fights are an instance that's just a boss fight

[shut panther]

I mean, right now the augment materials only come from savage raids anyway.

[jade quartz]

no trash clearing in high-difficulty content either

[edgy mantle]

how long does a savage raid take?

[faint flare]

A fight is average 10mins

To enrage

[scarlet arrow]

depends on the fight and when the enrage timer hits

[jade quartz]

a savage raid tier is four fights of 8-10 mins each

[faint flare]

Shorter if you actually have good dps to kill faster than enrage

[jade quartz]

Ultimates are single fights 15-20 minutes long, much higher difficulty than savage

but there are only three so far

[shut panther]

with a fourth coming next patch xd

[jade quartz]

a savage raid tier drops every ~six months

There is not a fourth coming next patch

[edgy mantle]

and ultimates / savage raids are only 1 boss each? or a full raid like in wow?

[faint flare]

Savage is 1 boss per floor typically

[shut panther]

each savage tier is four bosses

[faint flare]

Ultimates however

[desert prawn]

is there a way to make one of my characters eyes always closed

[jade quartz]

One tier is four separate instances that are 1 boss each

[faint flare]

Are multiple bosses all in a row with no breaks

For ultimates

[heavy wadi]

ultimates are like, boss gauntlets

[shut panther]

ultimates are one boss, with several phases and no break

[faint flare]

No checkpoints

[scarlet arrow]

FFXIV raids in general (not ultimates) are single encounters

[desert prawn]

like with /wink but like, never ending lol

[jade quartz]

no

[edgy mantle]

and are they pugable?

[jade quartz]

savage is puggable

[heavy wadi]

no

[faint flare]

Savage Yes

[jade quartz]

Ultimate

[faint flare]

Ultimates HELL NO

[heavy wadi]

savage yes, ultimate no

[desert prawn]

pain

[jade quartz]

not realistically

[heavy wadi]

ultimate takes months to prog

[little swift]

there are pug discords for ultimates and it is doable, just not easily

[faint flare]

Ultimates take over hundreds of hours to clear in a static

[jade quartz]

Rule of thumb for Ultimates is that they take about 100 hours of prog with a static

[little swift]

we're not going to pretend pug ultimate doesn't exist but its not normally feasible

[faint flare]

Far longer if you attempt randos

[shut panther]

tbh I think once you've brought discord into the mix you're scarcely "pugging"

[heavy wadi]

the guide for the most recent ulti is uhh 69 pages long, if that gives you some perspective on it

[little swift]

its pugging in teh same sense as pf ropter

[jade quartz]

if it's not a static, it's pugging

[little swift]

you're just using a different medium to bring together your "pick up group"

[scarlet arrow]

it's worth mentioning that the gear requirement for savage raiding isn't particularly difficult to reach

[jade quartz]

yeah catchup is p easy

[shut panther]

click marketboard, apply gil directly to the exarchic buttons

[little swift]

you never have to spend money to gear though

there are non gil related options

[gritty oracle]

What is this thing?

[faint flare]

Random environment decoration

Giant floating sprite to make the place look pretty

[scarlet arrow]

I know in WoW it can be frustrating to gear up due to random loot drops, but because gear is mostly tomestone-based in FFXIV you can calculate how long it will take you to catch up on a spreadsheet

[gritty oracle]

ah ty!

[shut panther]

I think there's actually some reason given for those things in eureka, but I don't remember what it was

[faint flare]

Something something aether wack probably

[shut panther]

it's either aether or ascians.

ideally being said by the aliens guy

[hollow mist]

Do I need to buy the base game + all the expansions?

I heard somewhere I should buy the game before passing lvl 30

[shut panther]

that's old information

you can complete up to level 60 and the end of heavensward without paying a dime

then you need to buy either: the starter edition + shadowbringers or "complete edition"

[hollow mist]

Oh, I see. The lvl 30 thing was to get 1mil gold or something like that

Not sure if that still applies

[shut panther]

tbh, unless the restrictions of the free trial bother you, that's what I'd recommend -- once you've attached a paid product, you have to deal with the monthly fee

if the free trial restrictions aren't a bother, get your mileage of the free version and determine whether you think it's worth paying for

[desert prawn]

is there a way to issue commands without opening chat box

[shut panther]

you can make a macro and put it on a hotbar

[remote lintel]

the 1 mil gil is only for new worlds

[desert prawn]

really wish you could loop macros

[hollow mist]

Yeah, I'm playing on a new world. Do I need to buy the game before hitting 30, or can play until 60 and whenever I buy the game, I get the gil?

[remote lintel]

there are no new worlds

[twilit arch]

there are no new worlds

[shut panther]

maybe you mean you're playing on a preferred world?

[strange coral]

"new world" in this case is a status determined by SE, not a world that is new to you

[remote lintel]

if you get to lvl 30 on a preferred world you get 15 free days of sub

but that doesnt apply to trial accounts

[jade quartz]

Preferred worlds do not grant the 1mil gil

[hollow mist]

Oooooh okay, I thought that new was the same as preferred. My bad. Thanks

[shut panther]

I think you might get the 15 days retroactively once you register the account

I might be wrong though

register a paid game, rather

[hollow mist]

I see. Thank you all 🙂

[rough fossil]

Can you put housing NPCs in your private room in a FC house in addition to the ones in the main house? Are the limits separate?

[faint flare]

They're separate

[rough fossil]

Cool. Can you use the NPCs in other people’s rooms or just your own?

[faint flare]

Your own iirc

[rough fossil]

Thanks

[winged fossil]

Hi experts!
I had two questions:

1. edible items in my FC room - can I make those consumable for guests as well or just me (otherwise I’ve gotta eat fifty oranges and you can’t put them in your inventory I think to eat later)
2. since I began playing I’ve kept every piece of dungeon loot and now most of my characters are way beyond the bulk of what I have. It’s all stored in retainers. Given that there’s a lot of it, and I better off just getting retainers to seek for their NPC value, or turning it in to GV for ventures (to then send my retainers out to catch stuff - I have five who can do do ventures). If I turn stuff in to GC will it only look at my inventory or can it include saddlebags/retainer inventories too? Thanks!

[jade quartz]

1. just you
2. NPC sell value is basically nothing, so turning it into the GC is worth it if you can be bothered. GC will only look at your inventory/armoury chest so you'll have to take it all out of your retainers/saddlebag

[rough fossil]

You can also store gear in your glamour dresser, though it’ll cost a prism

[frank goblet]

It’s only showing number of days subscribed and number of days till next veteran reward

[faint flare]

Then no

Gotta check via Mogstation

[little swift]

If you're on recurring payments it won't show the days left in character select

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh

Only want to know because I’m on recurring payment but also shifted to PC and that gives me an extra 30 days on top. So I want to know when I will be billed

[little swift]

Probably take your card off for the next while then

The hard lines are zone connectors

i'd narrow that down to 'la noscea is kinda confusing'

because it really is

[neat ermine]

i thought the dots were flying points xD

[faint flare]

The dots are ferries

No, don't

[desert prawn]

is it illegal to use an external auto macro to loop a specific emote macro i made in game

[jade quartz]

that would technically be against the TOS yes

would anything happen to you? unlikely

but use at your own risk etc.

[desert prawn]

like mods?

[remote lintel]

any 3rd party program is automatically a gray area

but i highly doubt they would do anything if you only used it to loop an emote

unless youre like spamming chat

[frosty falcon]

do the crystal tower raids require you to know mechanics in advance or can you go into them blind without a problem?

[remote lintel]

theyre casual content

all casual content can be done blind

[frosty falcon]

ok thanks

[azure bay]

Why on my Standard acc i can't play as trial character ? ...

[open coral]

There are a few mechanics that will murder you if you don't do them correctly, but as long as they don't result in a TPK, nobody will care if you mess up.

[open coral]

Because a sub version of the game is completely different from a trial version?

Once you've subbed, you're no longer eligible to play the trial version.

Or rather, once you've registered a full version of the game to your account, you're no longer eligible to play the trial version on that account.

[remote lintel]

you cant go back to the trial version

[azure bay]

So WoW has better way to this ...

[open coral]

You should be able to use the character you leveled, but you'll need to maintain subscription time.

WoW also doesn't have any kinds of in-game restrictions on their trial, whereas FFXIV has a number of them in place to discourage RMT.

You still can't play a WoW character that's over the maximum level for their trial though.

[azure bay]

In WoW, if my subscription ends i can still play on trial

and in FF it is impossible

[open coral]

Not on a level 60 character you can't. WoW also isn't story-based the way that XIV is.

WoW is literally "you can go anywhere you want after you leave the starting zone, in any expansion".

[azure bay]

Yup, but i can still log in to my acc and play another, new, character

[open coral]

XIV doesn't have that kind of sandbox play.

Yes, I'm aware of how WoW does things. I played it alongside XIV until about three months ago.

Good Afternoon everyone! My brother bought the MSQ Boost and his Bard is currently level 63, we would like to try and get him to 70 by today and start on MSQ's by tomorrow. What's the most efficient way to grind out XP from 63-70?

Keep in mind too, that the number of characters you can create per server and per account are tied to your subscription in XIV, not to your account.

[neat ermine]

im a rogue when can i equip double daggers? xD

[faint flare]

You always are

Your weapons are double daggers

[neat ermine]

ohhh i see haha

i want to buy some cosmetics but someone told me to be careful

[robust crow]

why would you need to be careful

the only thing you could possibly mess up is overpaying gil for it or buying it for the wrong character or class

[faint flare]

Or being addicted

[neat ermine]

what do rogues wear? xD

[faint flare]

Anything they can equip

[neat ermine]

dis of war.

[robust crow]

for the purposes of cosmetics it doesn't matter what they can wear

any cosmetic item can be glamoured over any appearance

the only exceptions are racial cosmetics or gender locked cosmetics

or hats if you're a viera

[faint flare]

And other jobs gear

[robust crow]

or level restricted items

[neat ermine]

wheres daggers

[slate arrow]

there aren't any

[faint flare]

None on cash shop anyway

[nova umbra]

question... does anyone actually use the ff14 app for anything besides to get the emote?

like, is it actually useful?..

[robust crow]

you can sell marketboard stuff on there

but tbh no the app is ass

[neat ermine]

how many cosmetic rings can i wear?

[slate arrow]

Because it's effectively a full client it's kinda weirdly designed

[slate arrow]

two

[neat ermine]

I'm at the moogle and there's nothing for me 😦

[gritty oracle]

In E11S, it works out that Biolysis falls off shortly before the boss disappears for 30s+ like three times. Should I bother reapplying Biolysis or nah?

[scarlet arrow]

it takes a little while for mogstation items to show up in your mail

[faint flare]

Only reapply if the dot will tick...4 times iirc

Which would be 12s

[gritty oracle]

ah ty! (Wish dots ticked on bosses while away)

[cursive abyss]

Is there a good reason for why job/role quests that are normally optional are required to see the last bit of ShB?

[gritty oracle]

sec

[mystic lily]

Yes

[neat ermine]

i bought the wrong set lmao

[mystic lily]

But to say why would be a massive spoiler

[neat ermine]

its giving me magic lmao and im a rogue lol

[mystic lily]

So yes, there's a very good reason to why

[neat ermine]

or does that even matter?

[cursive abyss]

Oh ok. ||I've just killed Vauthry and am taking the time to do them before I step into the Tempest||, so thats like perfect timing

[little swift]

They're never optional you miss fundamental parts of your kit without them

[remote lintel]

the npcs from the role quests are important

[slate arrow]

They're technically not optional if you don't want your job to feel like ass due to at least one to two skills behind behind at least the capstone quests

That, and before crafted gear came out, you had to get your job gear to participate in endgame activities

[mystic lily]

Those quests do not unlock any capstone skills in shadowbringers

He's talking about the "role quests"

he/she

[slate arrow]

the same applies to role quests

[faint flare]

They said job/role

Which includes job quests

[slate arrow]

You need your job gear to begin participating in endgame assuming you play on expansion launch

[heavy wadi]

and to get that gear you need to do your role quests

[slate arrow]

Of course, with 5.4 out you can just buy Exarchic and jump straight in

[cursive abyss]

I was mainly talking about ShB's my bad, since ShB is the first expansion where doing a blue quest is required

[mystic lily]

Yeah, it serves an important story purpose

[spare plinth]

how does matched party in potd work?

it's still useful to level up jobs is it?

[slate arrow]

It's always been required, just patch quests add in alternate gearing methods which let you skip the gear grind in one way or another

[twilit arch]

same as duty finder, it throws you together with random people

[faint flare]

Just like duty finder, shoves you with 3 random people

[mystic lily]

I think so yes

[twilit arch]

just no role restrictions in potd

[faint flare]

Pomanders are lost per floor set

[mystic lily]

Easy 15-50 in potd

[spare plinth]

and you have to enter with the same job if you want to continue?

[faint flare]

Yes

[mystic lily]

Yes

[faint flare]

For that save file

[mystic lily]

But, on the upside, pretty sure gear + carries over

Regardless of job

[faint flare]

Yes

Aetherpool is shared

[spare plinth]

is it good for leveling up jobs or is it only for certain level range

[faint flare]

15-60

[mystic lily]

15-60 yeah

[faint flare]

If your ques are 15mins+

[twilit arch]

you can enter it at lvl 1 though

[mystic lily]

Do floor 51-60

And reset

[twilit arch]

but 1-15 generally can be covered by hunting log

[mystic lily]

1-15 is more efficient tho doing hunting log yeah

51-60, reset rinse and repeat

Bit dull maybe, but it's fast

HoH is 60-70?

[twilit arch]

61-70

[neat ermine]

so did i buy the wrong set? 😐

[slate arrow]

wdym wrong set

[mystic lily]

Oh, is it 61-70?

[glossy flare]

any set you can buy on mogstation is just cosmetic

[mystic lily]

Cheers for correcting me

[glossy flare]

stats don't matter

[slate arrow]

You don't buy in game content on Mogstation, Mogstation is for non-standard cosmetics and previous event items

Besides level and job skips, everything on Mogstation is cosmetic as far as I'm aware

[neat ermine]

you mean https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/ ?

[cursive abyss]

err that

[open coral]

Yes, Flacko.

That's the Mogstation.

[faint flare]

Mogstation/optional store

More or less the same

[mystic lily]

Mogstation has pretty much everything that is no longer accessible in game iirc

[slate arrow]

Yes, FFXIV Online Store used to be a subpage on Mogstation. It's just an old term for it mb

[mystic lily]

Aside from maybe the most exclusive items, tho i think even those are accessible via mogstation

[open coral]

Nothing on that store has any practical effect on gameplay (except for level/story skips).

[mystic lily]

Do feel free to correct me tho

[slate arrow]

So if you're trying to get rogue/ninja daggers, you should buy a pair with gil from a vendor or off the marketboard

[cursive abyss]

Do I need to do all 4 role quests to progress ShB story or just my role?

[obsidian patio]

Only one

[open coral]

The only way you can buy a "wrong" set off the Mogstation is if you buy something that's gender-locked to the opposite gender of your character.

[obsidian patio]

But doing all 4 unlocks a small side quest series with a bunch of lore stuff

[slate arrow]

(to be fair, the only gender locked stuff are the Chinese and Korean cosmetic sets, iirc. But yeah, what Aura said.)

[twilit arch]

there are some past seasonal items that are gender locked as well

[neat ermine]

Yeah so I bought the Dirndl Set and when i equip it, it gives me all this magic stats and my defense is red.

[open coral]

There's a bunch of cosmetic sets that are still gender locked.

[slate arrow]

that's a cosmetic set

[faint flare]

You dont equip cosmetics

[open coral]

That's because it's cosmetic gear, not gear you're meant to equip and use.

[faint flare]

You glamour it

Aka transmog

Or whatever

[slate arrow]

You should just put it in your armoire or glamour dresser to put over your actual gear

[open coral]

Gear for actual use is only found in game

[neat ermine]

How do i do that lollolol

!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.

then i go to shadowbringers?

[cursive abyss]

Just to clear this up for them, EW DOES NOT include ShB and Stormblood, so if they were to preorder EW, they would not get both ShB and SB?

[remote lintel]

yes

[glossy flare]

Any content beyond lvl 60 is Stormblood

[faint flare]

They will

[slate arrow]

EW does include shadowbringers and stormblood

[glossy flare]

And any content beyond lvl 70 is Shadowbringers

[neat ermine]

nice this game is pretty fun lmao

[remote lintel]

@cursive abyss endwalker will at least include shb

[faint flare]

They always bundle old expansions into the new o e

[neat ermine]

im trying to figure out the cosmetic thing right now, i guess i gotta go to Vesper Bay

[cursive abyss]

Oh ok, cause I've had multiple people tell me no and multiple people tell me yes

[faint flare]

Preordering expansions wont get you the old ones until launch typically

[slate arrow]

if you haven't unlock airships, don't bother

[neat ermine]

man i feel like i am annoying but hey! this game kinda hard xD

[open coral]

The MSQ will take you there.

[slate arrow]

just keep doing your story quests

these

[open coral]

Just do the quests with icons.

[remote lintel]

if your question is "how do i unlock this" then the answer is most likely "just do the story"

[open coral]

It will unlock the vast majority of content.

[neat ermine]

im level 16 though xD

[remote lintel]

in the story?

or your character?

[neat ermine]

Feint and Strike

level 14 quest

[faint flare]

Your level means nothing

[cursive abyss]

If you have the patience, you can wait until Fall 2021 and get EW to get 3 expansions for the price of one.

[remote lintel]

then you dont have airships unlocked

[neat ermine]

ahhhh

gotchaaa

[slate arrow]

for all intents and purposes, your character level doesn't matter until you can't do the current MSQ quest

[faint flare]

Story progress is everything

[remote lintel]

airships unlock at lvl 15 msq

[neat ermine]

X_X

[remote lintel]

the story locks literally evrything

[open coral]

When we refer to a level, it's almost always going to mean MSQ level, not character level.

[cursive abyss]

Thats why some people call FF14 an MMOJRPG instead of an MMORPG

[slate arrow]

Naw, it's a Final fantasy first and MMO second ;p

[open coral]

The exception is for things like your job quests, which you should be doing every 5 character levels.

[neat ermine]

hey guys i used to play maplestory for 14 years lmao

[cursive abyss]

exactly

[remote lintel]

sure but this is a final fantasy game

the devs treat it like one

[neat ermine]

i want to join a guild

[remote lintel]

then look in #603040697884475393 and the community finder

[open coral]

They're Free Companies here, and there are many.

[remote lintel]

you can only join guilds on your home world

[neat ermine]

is being in a guild necessary?

[slate arrow]

no

[faint flare]

They're primarily social

[neat ermine]

what about dungeons ? does main quest take me to them? XD

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[tender ice]

Is it true Bozjan is good for leveling from 71 to 80?

[open coral]

Yes

[slate arrow]

yes

yes

[neat ermine]

no way??????

[remote lintel]

@tender ice yes

[tender ice]

tyty

[remote lintel]

dungeons and boss fights are part of the story

[neat ermine]

why is this game so goodXXXXXXX

[open coral]

The vast majority of dungeons are tied into the MSQ

[cursive abyss]

No, but it does help when making static parties for doing the harder endgame content

[faint flare]

The story takes you to like 90% of dungeons

[remote lintel]

no, most fcs dont raid together

[open coral]

And the instance level sync and roulette systems mean that you won't have to worry about finding other people to run the instances with - just queue for them and the game will find people.

[remote lintel]

fcs are purely for social things

[faint flare]

Primarily

[pseudo quartz]

FCs really depend on the FC itself for what you get out of it.

[neat ermine]

Guys I forgot to do this quest, is it important? It's level 1.

[cursive abyss]

There are some dungeons in ARR that are completely optional and you have to do a quest chain for them but they stop doing that during the MSQ after a while. That stuff is usually patch quest stuff

[open coral]

That's a quest to pick up a new job.

[slate arrow]

no, thats just a class unlock quest

[faint flare]

I said 90%

[open coral]

So no, not important unless you want to unlock that class.

[neat ermine]

So you want to be a Maraudur

[open coral]

That's how you become a Marauder - a tanking class.

[faint flare]

That unlocks that job

[tender ice]

How long will it take on avg to go from 71 to 80 in Bozjan

[remote lintel]

thats for unlocking the marauder class

[neat ermine]

so its different from a rogue right? xD

[open coral]

Yes

[neat ermine]

and i'll start at level 1?

[open coral]

Yes

[neat ermine]

no thanks

haha good thing i asked

[faint flare]

You can just swap back

[remote lintel]

you dont need to do the that say "leves" or unlock classes

[glossy flare]

you can switch classes at any time so there really is no harm in unlocking them

but no benefit if you don't wanna play as that class right now either

[open coral]

Basically, you can play every single job in the entire game on one character, but each job will start from its base level - 1 for ARR jobs, 30 for HW jobs, 50 for SB jobs, 60 for ShB jobs, and 70 for the upcoming EW jobs.

[neat ermine]

but whats the point if it takes me to level 1

[slate arrow]

!whoclasses

[open coral]

You can be everything.

[remote lintel]

because all classes have their own level?

[zinc orbit]

Command Error!

[faint flare]

so you cant just unlock all classes at lvl 80

[modest igloo]

different classes have different playstyles

[remote lintel]

you have to level them individually

[neat ermine]

yeah but then i have to redo the same quest?

[remote lintel]

no

[open coral]

No

[faint flare]

Not story

[remote lintel]

you do the msq 1 time

[faint flare]

That's one time only

[open coral]

You can only do MSQ once.

Quests are all one-time things.

[remote lintel]

you level other classes with things like dungeons

[open coral]

For alt jobs you take different leveling routes.

!faq altlevelguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[neat ermine]

ohhh

is that fun?!

[pseudo quartz]

Think of jobs more as a skill system if it helps

[open coral]

It can be

[neat ermine]

sounds stressful

[open coral]

You get to play different roles, and there's a storyline for each job.

You're not required to level more than one job if you don't want to.

[neat ermine]

like the 5,10,15,20,25 storyline?

[open coral]

Most people do because they don't like the job they're playing or because they're bored.

[remote lintel]

they have different job quests yes

[open coral]

Yes. Every class has a storyline that follows it all the way to 70 - at which point they changed to a role-quest system so there are only four role storylines.

[neat ermine]

man i just hit cut scene -.-

[open coral]

There will be a lot of those, yes.

This is, after all, a Final Fantasy game.

[neat ermine]

it makes me cringe sometimes lol

[modest igloo]

one of several hundred

[remote lintel]

the voice acting gets much better in heavensward

when they change VA agencies

[open coral]

This is a proper JRPG with story. That also means lots of cutscenes to help tell that story.

[remote lintel]

for now yes you have to suffer ARR minfilia

[neat ermine]

one thing i hate is the falling.

theres like a invisble wall at all time

[open coral]

Or switch to JP voices, which don't change, but are superior 😄

[remote lintel]

ew using jp voices in shadowbringers

[magic light]

What heals through banner of noble ends, i assume the no hp restore thing

I recall being a whm with profane using it and being healed by a war using flash

[faint flare]

Lifesteal/bloodbath effects

[magic light]

ooh

so i could use noble ends as war i guess

[faint flare]

So nascent, Essense of beast/bloodsucker etc

You can and should

Or Sacrifice

[magic light]

i've been using sacrifice

[faint flare]

Sacrifice + slash is the typical build

[magic light]

but i've got an excessive amount of noble ends so i wanna spend them

[civic mantle]

Does someone know what are free company relations ?

[neat ermine]

and best way to get gear is by main quest line also?

[obsidian patio]

I think it just decides what things you can buy with free company seals

[naive kraken]

did we ever get chocobo feet to go along with the suit?

[open coral]

Yes

The MSQ will give you free gear, your job quests will give you free gear, and when you get to dungeons, you'll always get at least one piece of gear from every dungeon.

[neat ermine]

is there a dungeon quest finder or do i have to walk to them?

[open coral]

There's a quest finder

[remote lintel]

the story literally takes you to them

and you queue for them

in duty finder

[open coral]

But the story will take you to each of them.

[neat ermine]

yeah but after i finish the storyline

[open coral]

There's a dungeon finder.

[neat ermine]

if i want to redo it

[remote lintel]

duty finder

[neat ermine]

ty

[manic flare]

is it worth the trouble to do khloe's diary every week

[civic mantle]

@obsidian patio Is it possible to up the 3 relations ?

[manic flare]

how many of u guys actually do it

[faint flare]

Its alot of free xp

Half a level

[manic flare]

but so is a frontlines roulette

[remote lintel]

more exp

[modest igloo]

every week

i hate dungeon spamming so its great for me

[neat ermine]

i cant wait for my first dungeon it better be fun

[spare plinth]

is there like this sort of meme race war between lalafells and miqote?

[remote lintel]

no?

[clever ether]

I know this is not a question. But im so amazed by how beatiful this game is.

[manic flare]

does it cost the same to migrate to another world but same datacenter vs another world on a different datacenter

[faint flare]

Yes

[remote lintel]

the price to transfer is static

no matter where

[manic flare]

so what's the point of migrating to another world on the same datacenter?

[remote lintel]

fcs

[faint flare]

Fc or housing

[manic flare]

do ppl really migrate for housing reasons?

[remote lintel]

i guess so

[lost sinew]

have you ever tried buying a house lol

[manic flare]

yes i have one on coeurl, but i thought it sucked everywhere

[lost sinew]

probably varies by a bit

[manic flare]

im guessing housing is more limited on crystal since alot of people like to have their own RP club

and crystal people don't raid as much so they might spend more time on housing

[neat ermine]

How do i do this quest ?

[faint flare]

Take the elevator down

[cursive abyss]

What's the point of getting the gemstones for mount speed if you do the ACs and can have max movement speed while flying anyway?

[manic flare]

there is no point

getting the second mount speed upgrade is still slower than flying

[arctic orbit]

How often does tank lb3 get used in end game raids

I know its used for alexander

Any other mechanics use it?

[faint flare]

This expansion ao far its been used in Alexander ultimate and SoS (normal and extreme)

[cursive abyss]

I mean, if the boss is nearly dead and no one's used LB and its not required to do LB to finish the boss off, you can Tank LB as a shitpost

[shrewd owl]

One story trial requires it

Uhhh

[faint flare]

Sos

[faint flare]

.

[shrewd owl]

One of the alex raids requires it

Yeah

Alex ultimate

[neat ermine]

damn they charging 400 now to teleport 😛

[faint flare]

It caps at 999

[glossy flare]

the amount you pay depends on the distance you port btw

so it's not always the same

though I think it's a minimum of 100

[cursive abyss]

Eventually you'll have so much Gil that teleporting fees wont matter anymore

[gloomy mortar]

Can/How can you message someone who is online but not on your friends list? I told someone to contact a Hunt Train manager to invite them to the linkshell. Doesn't know how to do it

[faint flare]

Player search them

[open coral]

Nah, you can get fees under 100.

[glossy flare]

Via favourits I assume?

Because I checked after I wrote that and was looking at the aetheryte I was standing right next to

Which was 100

[pseudo quartz]

Some places are also always discounted, like Gold Saucer and houses iirc

And of course, FC buffs and the Aetheryte discount ticket from your GC

[glossy flare]

Yeah you're right

I still assume 100 is the baseline before any discounts are applied though

[wispy peak]

why is this magitek invunerable?

[faint flare]

Listen to the npcs

They told you to do something

[wispy peak]

what if I didnt listen

could you inform me of what they said?

[faint flare]

Check the chat log

[neat ermine]

Should I reque im at 6mins

nvm

^_^

[strange coral]

No

[cursive abyss]

How do I stop Taldric from casting Sanctified Dark and causing me to wipe?

[strange coral]

A long queue time is normal for DPS players. And pretty common for the early dungeons

[cursive abyss]

I get to that part in the duty then I wipe because sanctified dark causes a duty failed

[strange coral]

What duty/quest?

[cursive abyss]

@strange coral Tank Role Quest Level 78

ShB

[gritty oracle]

what's direct hit in french?

[strange coral]

Sanctified Dark is interruptable

[wispy peak]

ok so the main story quests go from level 46 straight to 49. damn

[mystic lily]

yup, but if you do the MSQ you should be 50 at that point

[wispy peak]

nope :/

[mystic lily]

If not, toss in a couple of roulettes now and then

[wispy peak]

roulettes?

[mystic lily]

Yeah, if you go into duty finder

[wispy peak]

oh right

got it

[mystic lily]

Duty roulette, gives a daily xp bonus on completion

[delicate field]

does alliance/daily raid roulette give decent xp?

[mystic lily]

Yep

[faint flare]

Alliance yes

[mystic lily]

Raid sorta depends on what you get

[faint flare]

Alliance, levelling and msq give the most out of all

[mystic lily]

But if you're looking to maximize xp it's good to do most roulettes each day

On top of the gil you get doing them, while not alot

This discord doesn’t really have a housing discussion channel

If you want to ask questions about housing here is fine

oh damnit, queued for allience raid and got orbonne monastery. rip

[sturdy heart]

Ahh okie

Is there any like, short tables that are good for coffee tables or is there actual coffee tables?

[mystic lily]

There's a website for that

https://en.ff14housing.com/

[copper haven]

hey, is it possible for 2 new players to sent each other the friendcode so both get both rewards when they buy gametime?

[sturdy heart]

Oh ty

[mystic lily]

You can find all the furniture there

[obsidian patio]

You can also use the preview furniture option in the housing menu

[mystic lily]

yup, i prefer ff14 housing tho for a more comprehensive list

[obsidian patio]

!iglam Oasis Table

ok thanks

[cursive abyss]

Why is Brilliant Conviction Dispellable? I accidently clicked on it and it got dispelled, smh

[obsidian patio]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Most buffs in general can be dispelled by yourself

[cursive abyss]

Where can I start working on my lvl 80 Tomestone gear? I'm just about to go start ||The Tempest|| now that I've finished my role quests.

[remote lintel]

you cant buy tome gear until you finish the expansion

[pulsar venture]

Hey uhh this is kinda weird but I need someone's help contacting a player in game. I'm on free trial so I can't pm them and I don't know how else to reach them

[cursive abyss]

Tbh the social restrictions on the free trial are dumb

[pseudo quartz]

Yeah, you are very limited. Pretty much the easiest chat option would be if you can friend them and they open a party, but that of course depend on them

[pulsar venture]

I can't find them on this discord either

[mystic lily]

Also if you're 80 and not to concerned about gil, i'd look for people massively undercutting on exarchic gear

[pseudo quartz]

I think you have like... Say and Party/Alliance chat?

And that's it.

[pulsar venture]

yeah

can someone pm them for me?

is that possible

[cursive abyss]

Is Exarchic better than tomestone?

[mystic lily]

If you're lucky, you can find a 510 piece that normally would go for 180k+ for 60-70

Baseline yes

100%

[remote lintel]

no

not cryptlurker

[mystic lily]

The farmable tomestone gear is something like 480

[remote lintel]

490

[mystic lily]

Ye, exarch is 510

That said the other tomestone gear is probably better, but that caps at 450 a week

[remote lintel]

it is better

[cursive abyss]

I guess I'll be putting that Eureka gil to good use either

[scarlet arrow]

capped tomestone gear is 520

[mystic lily]

So you will only be able to buy a piece every week or every second week depending on piece

[scarlet arrow]

augmented via savage eden or the upcoming final NieR raid to 530

[little swift]

You shouldn't be exclusively trying to gear through cryptlurker anyways

[mystic lily]

So in all honesty, if gil is not a concern, kit yourself out in exarch gear if you intend to play that role

[remote lintel]

exarchic is just the impatient way to gear

[mystic lily]

And then upgrade piece by piece as you need

I don't disagree with that either cerberus, mostly comes down to where you plan to spend your gil

[little swift]

Exarchic will see a small spike in pricing in 2 weeks

So get it now if you're planning to

[cursive abyss]

@little swift @mystic lily Thank you both

Now that I have done my Role Quests, there is nothing stopping me from completing ShB 5.0 MSQ?

[modest igloo]

nope

[cursive abyss]

Excellent!

[cursive abyss]

Was a tiny bit of a pacebreaker, but could have been worse

[flint plover]

why is chatbar settings not saved with the ui settings?

[modest igloo]

yeah like doing eureka after SB

[flint plover]

is there a way to do that without having to resize it every time i swap between PC and PS4?

[remote lintel]

chat is part of character settings

[cursive abyss]

...which is what I did. Immediately after I beat SB. I quit enjoyed it actually @modest igloo

[modest igloo]

i know damn well you did and im still a little salty about that. but that's me being mean lol

if you had fun what do i care

[flint plover]

yeah, but UI settings have slots. which doesnt save different chat settings.

[mystic lily]

@cursive abyss don't forget to meld it

[flint plover]

I have my PC UI on slot 1, PS4 on slot 2

[cursive abyss]

Meld?

[mystic lily]

Materia

[flint plover]

but the chat settings there is no option to save those to each slot

[cursive abyss]

OH

[little swift]

You don't have to pentameld it but slotting some materia in is nice

[cursive abyss]

That thing where everyone was like PFFFTTTTTT you dont need to worry about Materia until like 200-300 hours in, just sell any materia you get.

[little swift]

Pentamelding is not worth its cost this late into the tier

[mystic lily]

Ye, fill the guaranteed slots

[little swift]

I wouldn't even meld it now

Since in 2 weeks you can upgrade it to 490

[obsidian patio]

520*

[little swift]

520

Brainfart

[mystic lily]

Upgrading exarch to 520?

[cursive abyss]

What happens in 2 weeks?

[modest igloo]

channy out here in 5.2 lol

[obsidian patio]

I’d just use grade 6 for the 100% retrieval rate

[little swift]

5.5 comes out

[mystic lily]

Ah

[little swift]

crafted becomes augmentable

using augment item bought with uncapped tomestone

[mystic lily]

Will ishgard houses also be with 5.5 or is that later?

[obsidian patio]

You use a bunch of Allegory to buy tokens and exchange Exarchic with other tokens and exchange those two sets for augmented versions

[twilit arch]

6.1

[little swift]

And traded in to hillicent in this case

[twilit arch]

for ishgard housing

[mystic lily]

Cheers

Is that confirmed kaelwryn?

[twilit arch]

yes

[obsidian patio]

Yes it was confirmed with the first EW fanfest

[mystic lily]

Cheers, it's not that i don't trust you, just want to be sure

[cursive abyss]

I suppose now I can continue MSQ

[mystic lily]

That does alleviate one of my issues then since i want to get a house in ishgard when it comes out

So feels good to have plenty of time to prepare

[cursive abyss]

And since I have Eureka fully done with on my main character, getting Gil for that housing plot in Ishgard will not be a funds issue.

[mystic lily]

And yeah what @obsidian patio said @cursive abyss toss some grade 6 materia on the gear for 100% retrieval

[cursive abyss]

Just any old materia for now?

[obsidian patio]

Grade 6, ideally

[mystic lily]

Yeah

[remote lintel]

follow meld priority

[final niche]

what do i do with antique items, i think im supposed to look for someone called kakalan?

[obsidian patio]

Should be cheap as hell on the marketboard

[obsidian patio]

You can trade it in for the i90 job gear from the level 50 quests with him in Mor Dhona

He’s on the bottom floor of the giant building north of the aetheryte

[cursive abyss]

Maybe it wasnt such a good idea for people to tell me to just completely ignore the materia system for 200+ hours lol

[remote lintel]

you dont need to meld while leveling

[faint flare]

Cause it literally does nothing until cap

Cause sync turns it off

And you're synced like all the time in story

[obsidian patio]

It’s also a gil drain that’s easily avoidable

Not much point buying a bunch of grade 1-5 materia to only use for a couple of levels each

[mystic lily]

Also, since you're 80 just hop on a fate train or hunt train and get those clusters

[empty pecan]

Trying to find a Orchestrion Roll, it sounds like a remix of Shuffle or Boogie the triple triad theme but i cant find it.

[obsidian patio]

Like a remix of the FF14 version?

[mystic lily]

Also, if you're tank, there's several roulettes that should also give you clusters you can trade for materia if you need

[empty pecan]

Yeah or at least similar. Also reminds me of ff7 but couldnt say which track.

[obsidian patio]

Maybe Doman Distractions? It’s from ranking up high enough in Mahjong.

[cursive abyss]

Does exarchic gear also have accessories?

[obsidian patio]

Yes.

[mystic lily]

Yep

It's a full kit of gear essentially

[unborn light]

Wait..no 5.5 Trailer..still..?! 😅

[faint flare]

That will come in the live letter

Since thats in a few days

[unborn light]

Fairs.

I'm sure it'll be hype

[gloomy ice]

Patch trailer always hits with the second preview Live Letter. Which means, yeah, we'll have that by this Friday.

[cursive abyss]

MUCH better, thank you

[faint flare]

Did you get a NQ weapon

[cursive abyss]

NQ?

[faint flare]

[civic mantle]

what's the max ilvl ?

[faint flare]

Normal quality

Not shiny

[gloomy ice]

If it doesn't have that symbol ^

Its stats are kind of garbage

[modest igloo]

530 for armor, 535 for weapon

[faint flare]

Cause non HQ Exarchic is a large downgrade

[civic mantle]

thanks

[devout lichen]

do I just buy gear from vendors if I need it when leveling up low level jobs?

[obsidian patio]

For pre-50, yeah

[modest igloo]

keep in mind you need to be able to clear current savage floors to do this. Most people just use 510 gear since it's just gil

[obsidian patio]

I usually just float on by with a mix of dungeon gear and tomestone stuff for the most part past 50.

And any cheap HQ crafted gear

[mystic lily]

There's another option that doesn't require buying gear to, but it gets tedious

Deep dungeon

[civic mantle]

just wanted to know, i'm 230ilvl atm :x

[cursive abyss]

Ty now I'm at 510

[mystic lily]

So it sorta depends on how much you value your sanity

[devout lichen]

is it not worth keeping quest gear for other classes?

[modest igloo]

yeah, if your in HW then thats decent. I'm talking about ShB stuff

[faint flare]

510 gets you into all current content

And all 5.5 content

I played tru the msq of the first game and got a toon to lv60. Then I had to stop playing for a while. Id like to get back to the game again but Im debating starting from scratch to get preferred world exp or keep going without it on my existing toon. Any advice?

[mystic lily]

Keep going

[civic mantle]

okok

[mystic lily]

And preferred world xp won't be an issue if you do a few roulettes and keep doing the MSQ

[shut pumice]

Hi
my account on steam is an Argentina Store
and I have a Europe Square Enix Account
so if I Buy "FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition" on my Argentian store will the code work on my Europe account?

[mystic lily]

That said, i cannot remember if stormblood had gaps in xp where you would end up underleveled for the MSQ

[modest igloo]

nope

only the 46 to 49 jump

[glacial holly]

Hello,anyone has a rotation for Rarefied Stonegold Orrery? im a lvl 74 goldsmith with 1326 craftmanship,1182 control and 355 CP.

[neat stratus]

Missing out on the exp buff for alt Jobs is big tho. No?

[mystic lily]

Nah

Not really, there's a million ways to level alt jobs now

[obsidian patio]

Try inputting your stats and level onto teamcraft and use that to easily figure out a rotation

[neat stratus]

And those millions of ways would be twice as good/fast with the buff? 😆

[mystic lily]

Keep in mind, you'd have to either A. Buy a skip or B. Slog through the MSQ again

[obsidian patio]

Log onto your square enix account and see what region it classifies you as there

[mystic lily]

Which keep in mind, ARR MSQ isn't exactly short, even after the reduction in filler quests

[obsidian patio]

Steam generally gets you the type you need

[neat stratus]

How would buying a skip work? Will I end up with having MSQ for a realm reborn completed but a character at level 1 ?

[modest igloo]

yes

[mystic lily]

But imho , you don't need preferred world to level alt jobs

[shut pumice]

it's a Europe Region

[neat stratus]

Not saying I need. But it sure would be nice. It's like playing 1 hour but getting 2 hours of progress.

[mystic lily]

Yeah, but preferred worlds rotate don't they

[neat stratus]

From my understanding you get it for 90 days

[faint flare]

They change on patches

[mystic lily]

Yeah

So one day that preferred world might no longer be one

[faint flare]

On april 13th

[mystic lily]

And you still might have some jobs left

[neat stratus]

No u get it for 90 days

If u create on a preferred server

No matter what

[faint flare]

90days minimum, longer if server stays preferred

[mystic lily]

90 days tho to go through all expansions, then get alt jobs up, it's abit of a strech if i am to be honest. Doable probably

[neat stratus]

Really..u can get it longer?

[mystic lily]

But you're still gonna be pushing it if you only rely on those 90 days alone

[obsidian patio]

90 days to reach endgame content is not a stretch at all

[mystic lily]

That's not what's in question tho

[obsidian patio]

It really depends on how many jobs you level up at once and how efficient you are

[modest igloo]

the main issue is that, since MSQ is how you unlock stuff, it isn't doubled, and you'd spend a lot of time doing that instead of doing dungeons and such

[neat stratus]

As a noob I'm ffxiv I'm guessing efficiency is low

[obsidian patio]

Or just reaching 70, since that’s when the buff ends

[mystic lily]

70 is simple enough yeah

[modest igloo]

with my armoury bonus for having a lvl 80 i always have double xp for lvl 69 and below classes

[mystic lily]

But that does raise the question, if it ends at 70, is a preferred world really worth it then for the long term?

[obsidian patio]

It’s super nice if you see yourself leveling up crafters and gatherers

[faint flare]

Cuts down how long the boring low level stuff takes

[obsidian patio]

Since you save a lot of Gil/time

[mystic lily]

True, but for crafters you also have diadem now which is extremely high crafting xp

[obsidian patio]

That still saves a lot of time since you only need half the materials

[neat stratus]

You can level all jobs to 70 with it tho ?

[mystic lily]

Yeah, i forgot about that fact

[obsidian patio]

And skybuilder crafts are very resource intensive compared to normal crafts

And yes

[mystic lily]

I did my crafters 70-80 with maybe abot 20 hours spent in diadem

part of that tho was putting some materials on MB i shouldn't have

[neat ermine]

At what level do you go to Vesper Bay with MSQ

[modest igloo]

i spent the same amount of time doing them from 20-60

[modest igloo]

15

wait

[obsidian patio]

Closer to like 18 or so

[modest igloo]

lemee double check

[obsidian patio]

It’s after the 3 dungeons

[mystic lily]

The crafting part took me maybe 10 hours all in all?

[neat ermine]

im on Copperbell Mines

AHH!

[normal plank]

so im trying to beat the quest "the trickster of the toll"
and there's this kurrea kinda blocking it (im only level 50), what should i do?

[modest igloo]

oh its after mb

[neat ermine]

this is my 3rd

[normal plank]

can anyone help me kill it or something

[mystic lily]

So all in all, 70-80 via ishgard took me 30 hours which wasn't all that bad

And yeah, 15-48ish is kinda eh, aurum vale while a horrible instance, very good for xp

[cunning raptor]

Is there any guide out there what BLU Rotations look like for clearing FATE's fast or just a list of spells that excel at stuff like that?

I was hoping to speed up the memory farming with BLU but im somewhat lost what spells I should be aiming for

[modest igloo]

check the blu acadamy in #resources , they're a discord for everything about BLU

[cunning raptor]

much appreciated o/

[obsidian patio]

General AoE spam spell for over world is Choco Meteor for damage and Ram’s Voice for freeze

[faint flare]

Hydro pull is nice for gathering mobs

[obsidian patio]

Requires 70 though ;-;

[cunning raptor]

I am level 70, so level is not an issue 😄

added both the spells to my list, thanks o/

[faint flare]

Other than that its just your standard primal spells...consider taking Both ends and Nightbloom..
Both ends for normal mob fates and Nightbloom for boss fates

[tender ice]

How exactly do I level in Bozjan? Do I need to start my Resistance Weapon to get in there?

[obsidian patio]

Just make sure to have your Chocobo out to make choco meteor good

[faint flare]

Fates and Ces

[cunning raptor]

Yup, Choco is one of the first spells I got. (Didnt evne know it was good I just wanted the meteor)

[tender ice]

How do I get in? It says speak to Sjeros online, but nothing happens when I speak to him

[modest igloo]

aren't both ends and nightbloom on the same CD?

[faint flare]

They are

But both ends is superior if mobs die quick

[obsidian patio]

Both Ends is good for mobs that don’t live long

[faint flare]

With normal fate mobs wi

Does like half their hp

[obsidian patio]

It also doesn’t have AoE falloff

[tender ice]

Do I need to start my resistance weapon to enter to Bozjan?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[faint flare]

Then you Nightbloom the boss/solo mobs fates

[modest igloo]

nightbloom has falloff?

[faint flare]

Yes

[modest igloo]

wtf TIL

[obsidian patio]

50% for mobs past the first one

[modest igloo]

ohhh that

[obsidian patio]

Most BLU aoes are like that

[faint flare]

Well you need to continue the Bojza/gangos story to get in, and past 5.1

[modest igloo]

i thought it was like a distance thing lol

[tender ice]

Well I am here right now @faint flare

This dude giving my resistance quests

[faint flare]

There's a blue quest south of you

[tender ice]

this?

[obsidian patio]

Yep you just need to do the first freebie weapon

That’s not for relic

[faint flare]

Oh thats memoria

[tender ice]

I'm doing the resistance weapon now then, Fire in the Forge

Then I go go into the southern front?

[modest igloo]

the first three steps dont require bozja, but the second three do

[obsidian patio]

You still need to make the first weapon to unlock bozja

[tender ice]

I wanted to use Bozja to level up from 71 to 80, not for resistance

But if I gotta do that then thats fine

[rose oak]

anyone losing audio

[tender ice]

I have the freebie weapon, how do I get into the Bozja now?

[delicate field]

@tender ice you must first complete the main scenario quest Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty, as well as the quests The Bozja Incident and Fire in the Forge.

[tender ice]

All MSQ done

All of what you said is done

Just done Fire in the Forge

[delicate field]

a dude in Gangos should give yo uwhere earlges nest

where eagles nest

[tender ice]

Nothing happens when I speak to Sjeros

Just says the resistance is counting on me

[delicate field]

you need to pick up Where Eagles Nest inside Gangos for Sjeros to take you there

[tender ice]

Ah okay

thanks

Ah there you go, he has a now

my ISP crashed and reset today while i was in-game, could it have triggered an automated ban and if so, whats the wait time on this sort of thing being investigated/resolved?
