when holding left or right trigger, you can use the shoulder buttons to cycle through enemies
Okay thx
Cuz I've done it on console. Think I did pretty good..though I mostly just focused on healing than dps
It takes practice
for a more in-depth targeting experience, Character Configuration -> Control Settings -> Filters has a way to determine what/who gets targeted
That's all
Is aggroing enemies a good filter?
For?
yes, because if you're a healer you can just use dpad+up/down to select your party members anyway
Go there to the big building in the middle. One vendor sells Shire weapons and the other sells armour. 2000 poetics won't be enough for everything, so I recommend getting the sword and shield, then chest and legs armor, and then whatever else you can afford after that.
i would personally go with all enemies just for consistency
@strange coral alright thanks for the advice
obviously it should go without saying that you should have different settings for weapon sheathed/unsheated or else you'll have annoyance later on when you try to interact with the market board in limsa lol
Did it on pc (using controller) did the healing trials had a bit of trouble. But I completed it none the less lol
the great thing about ffxiv is that there are a million customization ui/ux settings
@strange coral when i go for the armor theres 2 menus which one do i go for the gear?
which one has the best
because theres poetics 1 and 2
if you're having trouble there's probably something or another to switch up to make your life easier
Highest ilvl
you want 2
DoW II
okok thanks a lot
You're looking for Augmented Shire Custodian's stuff. Although I don't know what it'll say in French
Item level 270
yeah its 270
i just went from 180k to 213k hp
feels like ive been playing with a debuff on myself since the start :p
Since the 490 book also requires eden raid for the other items, it's simpler to buy the exarch weapon right?
Yes
Shire gear was heavensward end-game gear, so it's got lots of stats for level 60 and will last for a while
Or get the relic
Oh yeah, i need to look into the relic
is there better gear i can unlock at level 70?
Yes
Scaeven
i dont want to miss out on them like these
At 70 you can go to i400
In Rhaglr reach
Augmented Scaeven is the best for SB
so augmented scaeven in rhaglr reach?
Yep
You have to finish 4.0 before you can buy it
but scaevan is literally end of base stormblood
I need to look up on how to start relics in shadowbringers
so it’ll be a while fyi
For reference, augmented shire is lvl 60 i270, and the level 63 dungeons in Stormblood drops a different series which is i270 in stats too
tldr do the stormblood alliance raids, then do the following quests afterwards
And 200k HP? I'm in pretty much full 520 gear and only at 182kish, is that with food?
Beat the SB alliance raids and start it in Kugane
Yeah, googling it now
That's nier raids right?
Not eden
Ivalice
I think they were misreading. Their earlier screenshot shows 18k
Nier is ShB alliance raids
Oh, i've done all of the SB alliance raids
OHHH, that makes more sense then. I was about to say WTF am I doing wrong then 😛
stormblood is still a long way to go back to grinding the msq
Yes
thanks for all the help
Ta!
really grateful
If this is still helpful, the best gear you can have besides scaevanpoétics gear (ilvl 400), is MB craftable gear of ilvl 385
Yes mistook, edit
It goes to 390
@worthy rain i think im gonna go straight to scaevan
scaevan is much easier to get so don't waste your money on crafted
what does MB stand for
Marketboard
If you are past lv65 msq you should be replacing your gear with dungeon and msq gear anyways
since i heard that house and stuff cost a lot
Or at least using your lv70 job gear until you can spend your poetics
still lvl 60 msq
Then don't worry al about gear

Salutes, does anyone know about this?
Always after a x.5 patch, there is after a few weeks a x.55 right?
And then no more msq until new expansion? Cause I read somewhere about x.56, but that does not mean new msq(?)
Im gonna match the sub with a little after 5.55 releases, that is why I ask if after x.55 there is more msq before new expansion
The poétics gear of HW lasts you until 64 level
yep, that's correct. x.56 is usually a content/bug fix patch
65 really
and yeah MSQ 5.5 and 5.55, that's it
then 6.0 for more MSQ
.56 is an hotfix/savage unlock patch
Ok thanks 👍
Yes, but duty syncs allows to overpass xDD
Ok important information
Yeah
Shieldnif your hp bar is full
Any possibility the live letter of tomorrow confirms this? (About PostSHB)
so it's just from scholar spells?
even nocturnal sect gives u shield bar?
Include divine benison from whm, nocturnal spells from aat
Solo potd
Its for solo stuff
oh i see
And people that don't trust their healers
I may or may not have resorted to titan egi during some particularly bad world of darkness runs
Overpass? And 65 is the correct answer anyways thats when the stat comparison of dungeon gear and crafted surpassed fully augmented poetics
If you have fewer pieces you would get the weaker ones replaced earlier than that
You shouldn't need to use titan egi ever in party content
why do people say shire gear is undergeared for bardam, when the previous dungeon before bardam gives the same exact ilevel gear?
is shisui gear better than shire?
Its objectively undergeared
Because during msq you'll get better gear around then
And the dungeon gear is also better

Can doesn't mean user and healer are capable but yes
This is my first character, I just ran my first castrum meridianum and I realized I had the least health as a paladin, Under here is my character. Every single person including the healers had at least 5500 health give or take. Now I have a feeling I'm missing something important. The tank in the party had almost 10 000 health
Was me and my friend transferring to a high pop server Balmung a bad idea if we wanted to both have a player home
your right side
is undergeared
You're using the i90 job gear
Thats not the ilvl cap of arr
Which is 130
Huge jump in stats
Finish praetorium as well
no there is housing shortage everywhere in crystal server
And then spend poetics
Once you beat prae you can buy ilevel 130 gear
Hes not undergeared snack he has what he can get for that point in msq
Yeah, level 50 is weird coming into it from before you finish ARR because the i levels go from 50-130. Don't worry too much as long as you can hit 50 for Praetorium, then poetics are your best friend
there might be more housing availability in aether or primal, since crystal server is known for people RP'ing, which occurs in a lot of private housing
how do I get rings and that stuff? because I've been doing quests and not gotten a lot of gear for that side of the character
you can buy it off marketboard, but better way is to spend your poetics to buy ironworks gear

thank you
Or yeah just wait until after praetorium and buy ironworks
when is praetorium?
The game is very lax on free accessories until after ARR, where the post game msq will start giving you some
Its the next msq @granite zephyr
Someone told me about Apartments which are bsically almost like a house, so that's pretty cool
Praetorium is the last story dungeon for 2. 0, your next msq
Its like
Immediately after meridianum
I would love apartment's just if I could have a space to try the fancy gardening
ah yes thank you
But I also don't want to bother with searching for a house
is gardening really that fun tho? apartment is cheap and gives almost everything except farming lol
I mean of course I'll camp a house spot at next dlc lol, but it works in the meantime
So if I want a house on crystal what do I do?
pray
just play the lottery instead, you have more chances
The housing market is the hardest ultimate content in the game
Does anyone have a resource on what to spend Poetic Tomes on? Everything I find online is several years old usually.
!faq poetics
awesome! thank you kindly
I realize it's probably preference, but is there any practical point to try getting relic weapons at 60 and 70 (for their respective expansions) or would you recommend just putting the effort in at 80 for the resistance weapons? Which I assume means skipping anima or whatever
The 60/70 relics would just be for glam at this point
are the previous relics Shiny at least?
They're good if you like glowy stuff
they're all shiny 🙂
And they are not required to do the current expansion relic
ok, thank you
afaik there are shiny and non shiny versions of every step
so you can use whatever you prefer
are all relic weapons from all expansions about as grindy to get or some dlc have it easier?
all are a grind
they're all fairly grindy in their own wayt
some are just grindy in different ways
I still need to do a zodiac weapon, I should look up pictures of them one day so I can decide on what job to pick to drag through it
I'm starting on ShB relic, looks like I'm gonna do Bozja for weeks on end lol
Anima is fine to do slowly if you're high on poetics and GC seals all the time and don't mind the occasional unsynced dungeon/trial run
@delicate field the only part of them that requires bozja is the DR clears for the final step
You can still run potd instead for that step
What's the least played class? White mage?
It's not any more required than previous steps outside of needing DR finished
@crystal bluff isn't it good to grind Memories from FATEs there?
White mage is the most played class lol
@hybrid monolith https://ffxivcensus.com/
I figured support wouldnt be popular lol
least played is probably the tanks
just for the record, this census website is only semi representative
@delicate field you can just do them in heavensward/stormblood areas
It used to be faster than bozja, idk about after the hotfix
still nice to look at though
just going to say that ffxivcensus is not a good website
especially for things like active servers or what is least/most played class
for the former, its because their metric is super poor
Yeah, if you go by their statistics dancer and gunbreaker are the least played jobs
and for the latter its because you can be all jobs on one character
which is definitely not true
Do you have any better suggestions?
trying to pinpoint "most/least played" is pretty hard
not really, it's impossible to get those numbers sadly
you can sort of get an idea of it from FFlogs but even that's not the best way
unless SE gives them to us
FFlogs is also not the best way because one not every raids and two, not everyone who raids parses and uploads it
I'm trying to do guildhests as a dps and it takes years 
XIV Census crawls Lodestone which is official data
doesn't mean its accurate in anyway
because as I said, their activity metric is absolute shit
And two you have have all jobs leveled
doesn't necessarily mean you actively play that job
i like using fflogs parse data for popular classes in savage raiding though
white mage is the most popular class in savage
Yeah but that's exactly the problem with statistics from fflogs
it only tells you about that part of the population that bothers to upload logs
Am I going to be at a major disadvantage if I spread out my endgame tome usage over multiple armor types?
if you're planning on going into savage, then yes
au contraire, whm is likely the most parsed healer
I would do the level 10 Guildhests when you're between 10-15 because of the lack on dungeons to do things
Ah, well I don't so there's that
because its players are typically the more hungry for numbers
But other then that, yeah, not great
the cap for tomes will unlock later anyways
Right, right
tbh just going from what I personally see I would have trouble telling anyone what the most popular job is
it'll unlock when they're poetics :d
I guess I just don't want to be dragged through dungeons on my alts zzz
@leaden ginkgo you'll get more poetics than you know what to do with it over your ff14 carreer
yet you never have enough when you actually need them
lol true, cause it caps out at 2000 and that's like 2-3 pieces of armor
Ah yeah I'm referring to endgame tomes, I'm not new at all it was just a question that never occurred to me
how much gil can u bring with u in a world transfer?
gil cap
so as much as you can hold
and whatever you can jam on to retainers as well
so no limit then?
what does this mean
how does everyone but me have a key
Everyone touched the console but you
it's on the right, when the door opens
It was right before the elevator you took up
don't worry everyone misses it the first time lol
by healing people
go back down the elevator
Yeah that's pretty much how people run it now
there's mobs
Nothing is in the room with the elevator downstairs
the mobs don't get you if you use the teleports
so everyone just sprints to the teleporters on the first half
@tropic bear praetorium is a special beast. ppl run it very weirdly. you gotta get used to it
do you have to watch the cutscenes each time you do this?
yep
yes
mother of god
yep
get your popcorn
cutscenes are entirely unskippable in prae
is there a list somewhere of items that i can buy/stock up on during the free trial to prepare for when i buy the full game?
there is nothing to need to stock up on
does the game ever explain the garleans
in what regards
what about the them
cool, ill just get gyashl greens and materials so i dont hit the gil cap
well, I thought the thing 5 years ago was the dragon or whatever, was it actually the garlic breads?
oh
i am very sure you won't hit the gil cap at 60

and that was the 7th umbral calamity
and the damage was so great that it completely changed some environments and caused all armies to go into a standstill as they repaired
I've seen a few people with swirling orbs around them. What is this?
3 golden orbs in a circle.
Gatherers
a gathering thing
They are invisible to enemies 4 levels above them
Ah, thanks. Looked cool
its the stealth ability
Well not invisible, but they cannot be aggroed
It used to be an activated ability before
does the player character ever talk
with voice acting no
Technically yes, voiced no
lore wise yes
I only respond with shrugs and gestures in ARR
We're primarily a person of few words
there are scenes where you talk to people
We do talk more in later expansions
Basically silent protagonist more or less
you also have some very minor dialogue options later on
Va wise
there is a way to skip the cutscenes, but it's not recommended
not that they change anything
the player character gets invited to a private dinner date later on in the game. it would be a very boring date if the PC couldn't talk
do the villains get more interesting
yeah, fair
I'll be honest, ARR has been a struggle
why would my character just keep letting villains walk away
is the "storms of the horizon" the main quest or "The threat of Superiority"
the top one
storms on the horizon is msq
the smaller quest is your current job quest
because you're a nice person
your charracter believes in reform
@tropic bear if he k illed them too early, the game would be too short
threat of superiority is your class/job quest
and that people can change
gaius literally said he believes people are insects and is now walking to activate his WMD
Are these the only abilities I get? or do I get different kinds when i become a black mage? also how do i become a black mage? (sorry im very new to this game)
you politely let him show you his big evil machine that he worked hard on
Those are class abilities
But he's electrolysis man, you don't kill people who can eletrolyse their armor on the fly before they reveal their mecha
you become black mage at level 30
to be fair, we didn't know there was a big machine there
so short answer: yes, a lot more
What are jobs in this?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
jobs are like advanced classes
they're upgrades to class
for all we know gaius could have been walking to the bathroom
right now you are a thaumaturge but later you will be a black mage
so thaumaturge is a class, black mage is the job
So im stuck with this abilities until 30 then i can get others?
yes
yup
read above
level 30 and completion of the lvl 20 main story quest
so do your story quests
But all job abilities start at lvl 30 anyway so it's not like you are missing out or anything
It's just one fluid progression
Ive been doing any quest ive seen around thats given me decent exp
That might get exhausting in the long run
Keep doing the blue quest
Story quests (the ones show in the top left) lock basically every worthwhile piece of content
You'll hit level 80 WAY before the end of the game
is the hildebrand sidequest yellow or blue icon?
blue
when you say blue quest you mean this ?
Yellow outline with blue filling means important content quest
yes
it's
because Hildy unlocks some trials
Well "important"
What are these? Main?
theyre locked
Locked blue
those are
you don't meet some requirement for
if you talk to them they will tell you what the requirement is
usually

Is main story
Also shown top left
Quests under that is your current job quests and any other important stuff
another quick question.. Im getting really tired of running from one part of the area to another.. is there a way to unlock like "waypoints" more than just 1?
you get a mount at lvl 20 msq
oh okay

avoid shitposting too much in this channel thanks 🙃
alright, is there a chat for newer players that is less strict?
no new player specific chat other than this one and the role lounges
but general chat is #general-discussion
We ideally want to avoid this becoming like the novice network in game yeah
what is owo wuts?
its normally called #ffxiv-discussion
I've played the game back in 2014... now me and 2 friends decided to go back to it... the character i had is basically useless so i am planning to start a in a new server...
Could anyone help me and my friends to choose which server to go?
We are playing on NA.
One of us is totally a casual player as for me and the 3rd we are daily players(3-4h), we probably would get into raiding but not hardcore
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
Tldr server choice doesn't matter
Everything is cross server within the data centre these days
Outside of fcs and housing which aren't that important
So for the SB relic weapons, if i am working on summoner, do i need to go in as summoner?
Right, so the journal only refers to that part for fates
ic, thanks!
Wait, so how does housing work? I want to build a lair full of gold coin piles and furniture but there’s few houses on Crystal. But there’s apartments that aren’t houses?
I dont know how to get here...
click on the map to make it clearer
go to chamber of rule, its very close
So is there a place where I can have a player home that is cheap and available?
Are apartments limited?
Housing is a scarce rescource
there's 99 apartments per wards
not as limited as houses
But wait until 6.1
You an own a house and an apartment at the same time, right?
So apartments are limited too but no really?
yes you can
Houses will be avilable then, and they range in price from
3-3.8 million for a small house, 16-20 million for a medium sized , 30-50 million for a large plot
Is there a place to report hackers?
yeah, technically apartments are limited but there is a lot more of them available naturally
that aren't doing rmt
30 wards per map, times 100, that's 3000 apartments per map
so its harder for them to run out
The different price refers to their "tier"
worse case you have to check the higher number wards for an apartment
support desk > contact us @jagged crow
Apartments are only 500k so it's not bad. I'll just wait for 6.1 to get the house, it'll be months away
Mkay I just saw multiple accounts from famfrit on exodus all level up to 27 at the exact same time then fly through the map
So after 6.1 houses will be permanently more available or only making more space temporary?
just going to note that you're going to have to put all of the names
Probably just a multiboxer
Yeah I have em all
Vygsncdq CakgjprsFamfrit attains level 27!
Jpqpcciw VhkosbjmFamfrit attains level 27!
Qhgpvvmp OeqaulutFamfrit attains level 27!
Ryqpefcg TuqqlresFamfrit attains level 27!
Hgkwnowq WmiidelqFamfrit attains level 27!
Xwvnlqac OeiqfulaFamfrit attains level 27!
Qbxhfxbb SgdswocxFamfrit attains level 25!
Bcpwkvtt VspjfdipFamfrit attains level 25!
I don't think that's against TOS
Those are 100% bots
Yep, with those names for sure
so yeah they are lol. but that said those bots generally get caught in the ban wave
@leaden ginkgo they will add housing to the new expansion so all brand new houses. be there on day 1 or they all gone
I recorded them flying too
Oh that’s disappointing
Hello everyone. I've recently started using the Diadem to level up my gathering skills. But for some reason I cannot gather on the special nodes that change with the weather. Is it a level requirement or am I missing something?
Those are basically lv80 nodes
All those bots are getting ready to snatch up ishgard housing

Hello so Im losing my mind with a spearfishing spot I cant find, its the loch seld deep sea bed. I guess you can only trigger it with something else, but I dont find anything on the internet. Can someone help?
eh i hear brand new alphano mog item have some hair bug?
catgothungry @keen marsh
SE only mention tail bug
An excellent fishing website
ive been there I dont really understand what it says 😒
how does Ten Chi Jin work in simple?
Is there a way to glitch non-tabletop furniture into tabletops without slowly and painstakingly lofting them, and then putting a table under?
with each input, it executes a mudra without needing to press Ninjutsu
What are you trying to fish?
It lets you chain cast Ninjutsu. And it remembers what Mudras you pressed
@gritty oracle I just want to complete the spots xD
So you go either Fuma > Raiton > Suiton on single target
and now im stuck
So with reference to your inputs, you should do Ten (and get Fuma) Chi (and get Raiton) Jin (and get Suiton)
Or fuma > katon > doton for aoe
but when I do it all i can do is shuriken raton and the ice one in order
Its based on the Mudras you pressed
They change to the ninjutsu to show what you'll get when you use that mudra
Are you using Fathom and Truth of the Oceans?
There's only 2 proper combos you do with TCJ
you need to gather 10x mercenary crabs for it
sec
mmh.. i see
Fuma raiton suiton, or fuma katon doton
yes @gritty oracle
So Fathom is up, and you still don't see the nodes?
Maybe I have to catch those 10 crabs for the trigger?
Oh is that it? So its a secret node?
I see the other nodes just not that one, also that might explain why I dont get any coordinates anywhere
for spearfishing there are hidden nodes that only appear when you've caught x amount of a specific fish
Is there a way to glitch non-tabletop furniture into tabletops without slowly and painstakingly lofting them, and then putting a table under?
looking for more
statics are raid groups
and static is just a group of people that consistently get together to do content with each other
Statics are a set group of people to do content
usually savage/extreme
Oooo that sounds neat. I should get a static
it is a commitment
Having a static is only guaranteed to fix one problem: people trying to go separate ways during content
am i missing something or are the DoL Dragonsung weapons actually lower stats than Landsaint?
They're lower ilvl
so it's glam only then?
Skybuilder is higher ilvl
They're like relics, you keep upgrading them
oh i see it on the wiki, it's badly documented
Stupid question, my friend wants the PVP hair, however I told them that they wouldn't be able to obtain it because free trial restrictions PVP. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't giving her false information.
And by pvp hair its Styled For Hire
So basically you can't obtain anything PVP related on free trial right?
mhm
Those aren't tradeable either
If its the wikia one it's poor
Yeah okay just wanted confirmation. Thank you

with endgame trials what's the order of difficulty? hard, unreal, extreme, savage, ultimate?
unreal = extremes. they're just ARR EXs scaled to 80. but ye roughly unreal = extreme > savage >>>> ultimates
what's the closest place with striking dummies near the crystarium?
So, when I hit level 20 with fisher, do I go to the diadem like BTN and MIN or somewhere else
so titan unreal is basically how people back in arr fought titan in extreme but instead of being level 50 it's 80
amh araeng and kholusia both have striking dummies
it doesn't really matter imo. you can just fish wherever you like but I suggest doing all the class quests (which usually carry you through leveling mostly) to unlock all the different kinds of fishing
How to do mount actions
When I mount say the laurel goobbue
The mount action isn't available
On PS4
Or which hotbar it's connected to
honestly diadem's really not that great for fisher
While having The Resistance Remembers quest active, can I take Change of Arms at the same time?
ocean fishing (runs every 2hrs) and doing leves/collectables are going to be better for fisher
yea leves for fisher are great
yes @weak copper
you don't gain anything from fishing at diadem because you don't need the fish for any crafters
nice to know, ty
you can desynth the fish for mats
i can't get to the isles of umbra via the very (says access prohibited)
what am I missing?
But desnything mats rather than gathering materials straight up isn't that big of a yield
where are you in the main scenario quest @normal plank
If you're efficient enough as miner or botanist you can net 300+ of each material you choose to focus on, vs fishing where you will net 60-70ish
yes that's true
@twilit arch at the utmost care
my reason for mentioning it was largely because fish do gain you something
Yeah, fish also can net you alot of skybuilder tokens
But that sorta depends on if you can get the right fish
iirc you need to progress msq, you're pretty close to when you can unlock the isle
my friend is past the msq needed for guildleves, how can she unlock it?

i assume she started in gridania?
yup
needs to do "leves of bentbranch" which starts in gridania at the adventurer's guild
got it thanks!
do u guys use mini cactpot solver?
most of the time there is no solution
usually no, just make a Y pattern
i go for the diagonal Y pattern
y pattern?
xox
oxo
xoo
with the X representing the Y
doesn't have to be that exactly that. can put the bottom x on middle or far right
but usually covers most of the possible combos to see if you have a potential winning line
The Xs are the revealed numbers
you reveal two top corner
Then middle, then bottom corner
Think of it as tic tac toe
but how can i make a y if lets say the number it gives when it starts
is not in the y shape
it doesnt matter?
you can always make the Y shape
Oooo nice tip
y method isn't perfect
It's still very RNG
as sometimes you just dont have a good ticket
y just gives a good potentially at seeing 1-2-3, 7-8-9
oh
yeah all mine were duds then
i have a question
do the halloween items return for the events each year
for example that little ghost minion
ah
The old ones go onto the mogstation shop after a year.
yeah the ghost is $5
There are two of them.
You don't have to buy cosmetics.
yeah but like one furniture item ins $15
And you can always wait for them to go on sale.
a mount is like $30
They're free if you play during the event. If you miss them, the cosmetic items go on the shop the next year. You don't need any of them.
^
I always wait for sales when it comes to mogstation items.
how often are sales
And like Astra said, most everything winds up on sale at one point or another.
They usually have at least a few big sales per year.
There's almost always one around Black Friday in November.
I just did the || Pyramid puzzle quest where Y'shtola falls retreiving the antidote and then I wanted to look up the video of when Emet-Selch actually comes in cause I missed exactly that. || I just can't find these quests in my log?
Shadowbringers is on the second MSQ tab.
Oh lol, there were two tabs. My bad thanks!
Yeah, that throws a lot of people off. 😄
No
oh
That one has never been free. It wasn't an event mount.
how many hours it takes to finish the main quest?
been getting some mixed answers. some say 40, some say 200
From the beginning of ARR all the way to the current end of 5.4?
I guess. from lvl 1 to end game
closer to the 200 hour mark yeah
christ
If you assume ~60 hours for just the X.0 parts, and an additional 20-30 for the post-expansion content, you're probably looking at something in the 200-300 hour range.
It's literal years worth of content.
It's basically three whole games.
In a heavily story based game
all unskippable?
If you skip the cutscenes, you miss out on basically all of the reasons why you're doing what you're doing.
well i watch the cutscenes themselves the voiced ones
there is a story and level skip, but itll run you an extra $40 USD
but not the ones you have to read all the dialouge
Who all the characters are. How everything relates to everything else. And so on.
If you're going to skip everything anyhow, you may as well shell out for the skip potions.
Even if you do ignore every single skippable cutscene, you're still looking at 100-150 hours of gameplay.
Just for the MSQ
how long does the quest chain in between sophia and zurvan take?

Do people still do behemoth fate?
Im going to level up white mage and another class that could be useful to duo with my friend
whih one do your recommend, objectively
any tank, i guess
if i want poetics quickly, which dungeon has the best poetics/time spent ratio to grind?
pls don't say aurum vale :(
for moogle event?
no, i need them for HW relic (the 10x 150 poetics glue & shit)
aurum doesn't give poetics
Aetheriochemical
only 50/60/70 content does
Do your MSQ roulette for the day for the metric ton of tomes you get for it, then just spam Aether since it gives a nice chunk of tomes.
What's the way to chat in cwls without moving over to the tab? like how shout is /sh
So what's the best way to level FSH?
/cwl#
it's /cwl#
thank
ocean fishing + leves @fallen niche
he is already a tank
ocean fishing runs every 2 hrs, then do leves in the downtime
what is faster, wanderer's palace or amdapor keep
assuming the party keeps to the most efficient route
does anyone know the song playing in the beginning of this video?
(before the cutscene)
I think that one is Stone and Steel
thx
hey guys, with my samurai. I can't see that sword-guage when I'm doing a duty? am i doing something wrong?
It only appears above lv52
ohhhhh that makes sense gotcha
As you can't generate kenki until then
yup yup
Which is easier, cross or line lions in E12S?
Bard, i guess
it's a support dps
Dancer is better in that, but i assume you're leveling lvl 1 jobs
Ohh I see
I am leveling lvl 1
apparently bard used to have this skill called foe's requiem. what was it anyway?
Increased damage taken by enemies, but drained bard MP
Increased the damage enemies take but slowly drained their mana...and at one point also lowered their own damage slightly
huh
no
foe requiem never reduced bard's dmg
that was something a lot of people assumed because the other two songs did
Hi I'm pretty much a casual novice when it comes to the game but I've been doing a ton of crafting and I was thinking about selling ingots on the market board. Is there any like unspoken rules or things I shouldn't do when it comes to pricing and quantity? like I'm assuming undercutting is frowned upon but I was wondering if there was anything else that's not okay.
Put up for whatever price you want
undercutting is just something that happens

@remote lintel @faint flare I appreciate the advice! thank you!
where am i supposed to get some orange juice for swyrgeim lol
How do I melt materia into this? https://i.imgur.com/4kgONEz.png
there is no button
Materia has a minimum ilvl it needs to accept go onto gear
oh so my materia is too low
oh where do I get lower materia?
Low tier materia like tier 1s are primarily through spiritbond of low level gear...or just buy off market board and save alot of headache
can't do that in trial D:
I wouldn't bother melding anything below lv80
just want to complete the blacksmith quest
Npcs dont really have classes
heyy, idk if this is a good question, but what's the funnest tank class?
They use animations from various different jobs and all
he's a zweihander wielder, but not drk
all of them are fun. GNB has a very DPS-like rotation, PLD has a physical and magical rotation, DRK uses the power of edge to deal more damage, and warrior is all about big dick fell cleave burst phases
do they all have the same utility?
I hear PLD has pretty good utility right?
They're all tanks
They all have utility. In the middle of raiding atm
Vinyl can probably explain them better
alright. im just going to check youtube
They all have a generic party mitigation tool and a cooldown they can put in others
Pugilist
would you say is eden's gate: descent (e2n i guess you'd call it?) painful with randos
not really
reading about it and it has the spell in waiting stuff with stacks and gazes
How come the 3rd quest didn't complete? I melded materia into it https://i.imgur.com/qZo6Gyy.jpg
its only annoying if people dont understand that the spells go off in order
and panic when they see big aoe
That's an initiate's hammer, not an iron one
oh
hey, how do i get lv60 yellow scrip gatherer gear please? i'm a lv65 botanist with all HW botanist quests complete but the scrip exchange still shows only lv50 gear
Go to Idyllshire
that vendor also shows only the lv50 stuff!
!faq scrips
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
How do you get the Regalia car
Can’t currently
hmm i did Go West Craftsman too
Wait for the 15 event to come back
The event is over :(?
who knows
eventually
@dawn yarrow try talking to the Rowena representative in Ishgard
that was it! thank you very much! really couldn't figure that one out:)
so how i know what sidequest have dungeons and trials?
unlock content as a whole
so all blue quest have a dungeon
These show what quests unlock what
They usually have an image of it
How hard is extreme compared to savage?
i have been doing that im doing stormblood stuff but i just happen to pick a blue quest and in that list it doesn't say it has a dungeon and trial
Extremes are usually around the first fight or two of a savage tier
Crystarium and eulmore slums
Some blue mark quests are part of a quest chain requires to unlock some beast tribes.
There's the list, scroll down in the 80 dungeon roulette window and you'll see yours
ohh ok
It’s twinning and Akadaemia as those are the only optional level 80 dungeons
yeah i miss memeing and akademia
well i have 4 day weekend so im just gonna catch up , ty

Any advice for a beginner? I just started on the free trial. Ive been playing WoW all my life and figured its finally time to jump into FF
!faq newplayertips
Based on prevoius expansions, r we gonna get a new crafting set in 5.5 or do we already have the highest right now?
How many players (minimum) do I need to clear ||lakshmi|| EX when going Unsync?
So where might i find the training hall to get the exp ring. I am a lancer and am the Dragonkin race. Idk their actual name
follow the MSQ. The location is near Aleport in La Noscea, but MSQ will take you by it
The smiths
mainly cause it's on the way from there to your first dungeon
oh, can you queue for duty training from any smith?
i thought you had to do it from the building
Yes
Aesthete's is the best, and the skybuilders tool is equal to an Aesthete's penta melded tool
Forgive me I only played 5.0 then stoped
I can see Aesthete gear on the AH, where do I get skybuilders tool?
Crafting/gathering bis is always added in 5.3
It’s hard to get all storm blood primal mounts? Should I buy them from itinerant moogle?
No, its not hard
i mean buying them does guarantee them
Just rng
It's the crafter relic tool grind
Lot of people says is kinda hard
Once you unlock the firmament, go to the Machinist guild
there are some things you need to know but theyre not hard
ARR is different
@slate arrow Ah yes I see the quest chain on the wiki wesbite
Does this work like a battle relic, where u finish the chain, then start again to get another crafter tool?
Basically, you can work on all 3 gathering tools as you go on
Same rule of can't be on the same step with different jobs
basically, yeah
it's a scrip and crafting grind so
be prepared to grind
and if you don't know how to expert craft uh
good luck?
Its macroable but you would need to submit many many more to complete the expert craft step
From what you said I am thinking of just buying Aesthete and penta melds
Can I get exact stats with melds?
i want to configure my gvpn, could anyone tell me where the na servers are located at ?

Doing the Anima Weapon quests. I need to "complete certain activities" to raise aetheric density levels, but Im unsure what certain activities would be. Does anyone know?
Level 50-60 content as a whole
Best solo method is to do level 50 dungeons, like Brayflox Longstop Hardmode
For group method most people do Eyes of the Creator Savage from Alexander
While it’s a savage fight, having a full party of level 80 people let you skip all mechanics
we queued for a leveling roulette but the game decided to not give us an healer
Just curious: Is Shadowbringers locked if you haven't completed Crystal Tower?
should we just wait?
worth noting A9S is OBNOXIOUSLY better
yes
Has it always been?
DF doesn't just not give you a healer, the healer obviously joined, and instantly left
no, it hasn't
5.3 made it so
That's good. Yeah 5.3's story really couldn't have been the same without it.
If you made it past ARR before 5.3 without doing CT, but hadn't hit ShB before 5.3, it would stop you before ShB
However, if you started later, it will stop you shortly before doing Castrum/Prae and make you do CT
Wait really?
You can't finish 2.0 without doing it?
could someone answer me please?
i did
Was gonna say, I'm not sure they'd be ready for that yet. :x
party leader should requeue you to find a replacement
well as soon as my ps4 loaded we were 3 people
ps4 load times
yeah, the healer probably dropped
and now no one joining
I'm in one life one world as a mission and in the middle of the fight it says give a person the aether what does that mean what do I give them?
before you finished loading
healer queued in, saw the instance, and left
if that's what i think it is, there should be a click prompt in front of Alisaie
there's a interactable in front of alisaie, you need to click on it
Oh let me check I gotta redo it
I have a brand new Samsung SSD. My load times are fast, but nowhere near as fast as in that PS5 demo.
respectfully i believe the PS5 demo times shown a few months ago were a bit fixed
show me loading from bronze lake into limsa and I'll be impressed
whats the mentor crown that guy has? mine is trade but his is just the crown
it means they have both trade and combat mentor
that means he's earned both trade and combat
ahhh okay
when do loot restrictions lift for Sav raids?
a lot sooner than that
Probably like 5.55 or 5.58
So i cant play samuri as F2P?
Correct
oh
does the game come with all the stuff for $20 or do i need to get a bunch of dlc?
Base game and expansion is all you need
^ is 60
for the complete edition
for base + expansion
think its on sale rn?
or the sale ends today
yea its on sale 1 more day

okay important question I have just bought complete version can i change my existing characters race or nah its too late or would that cost $
theres a bunch of gameplay presets that come with gshade
@tardy shadow if you beat the ultimate weapon you should have a fantasia in your inventory
otherwise cash
? lmao im level 10 idk what that means
Level 50 story quest
it's a lvl 50 quest
okay cool ty
but at lvl 10 there is no real harm in creating a new character either if it really bugs you
that's fairly fast to catch up to
it doesnt bug me i like my character ill just wait
no reason to restart when i can just do it at level 50
does anyone know the point of dredge? It seems to be worse unearth
Thank you for the assistance everyone
is that an MTG question or is this a FF thing? @shadow oyster
Its gathering skills
ahh okay
MTG?
nvm nvm
