You're a lifesaver, thanks. That was annoying me a ton and there's so many menus I would have been lost in them for days haha
I had to do the same for the red mage and white mage/astro ones
You can also use the settings on the gauge to simplify it, making it smaller and more compact
pretty sure people are outright modding doing this
How do you rank up in ur GC again? Its been ages since I've done it
talk to your grand company personnel officer assuming you're 2nd LT or under
1st LT and Capt are thru squadrons. 1st LT require you to get squadron to lvl 40 to unlock the flagged mission, capt requires you to run 5 dungeons with your squadron to unlock the flagged mission
please tell me I can get a broomsy minion
!item magic broom
*For safety reasons, do not fall asleep while it is at work.
Use item to acquire the magic broom minion.*

Removes all effects from all enemies and allies within range.
yes
It requires a glazenut like most crafted minions, so hopefully you’re not a trial player
wait do minions have abilities?
oh right
Does anyone know where I can find lyrics to the final boss fight in Heavensward?
[Choir noises]
What's the best way to get the Sorrowful, Harrowful and tortured memories?
sry it's me again. Is there a way to see someone glamour and dye settings for a character online on a forum or something if i want to get tips and ideas?
But they gotta be saying something! 😭😭😭
This is the best I can find https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/7o0xse/song_lyrics_in_eorzean_symphony_ultima_calamity/

you can explore the nightmare hellscape that is fashionxiv.com
is pvp the only way to get wolf marks?
cool ty
!faq memoryfates
One per fate
Yeah, but what are the best areas to get them?
Going in to bozja and cluster farming is the alternative
But rng
I used sea of clouds, dravanian forelands, and dravanian hinterlands
I asked some random guy when I was doing msq roulettes, he said Western Highlands, mists, and Azys
it doesnt really matter
Cwh churning mists and azys have lower fate density by a tad
And boss fates are more tedious to solo
Alright
But it overall has very little difference
which mount is this?
Just swap if the map empties out
twintania
So i'm trying to focus on quantity
Twintabia
Twintaina
You get it from the invite a friend event
twintania
Twintania
you get twintania from 15 gold choco feathers at the calamity salvager. gold choco feathers is from recruit a friend, 5 per anytime they pay their sub
you also get 5 just from them registering the recruitment code
But that'll be when the event is active
RAF isn't an event
the event is effectively permanently active
its always there
if they do decide to end it, it'll be announced like, a year ahead of time
Oh-
its an incentive for people to get their friends playing
is there a list of all the differnt currencies in the game and what they do/where they can be used?
there seems to be loads lol
As a new player im finding the beginning to be incredibly boring, I love the game and fighting mechanics but yea..do you recommend purchasing levels and going straight to lvl 70?
you still have to do the MSQ
You'll still get synced down for Solo instances so
I wouldn't recommend it for your first job.
think he means the skip potion
if you wanna skip the story you need a Story Skip
Oh okay cool is it worth it?
but tht doesn't level you
story gets fine after ARR
you'd need story skip + level skip
I'm fine with doing that lol
It isn't worth it for a NQq player, you have no idea what you're doing or what's going on
Can't really just skip 4 seasons of a netflix series
You don't get tto skip straight to the end
Yeah I fee like that, im playing a with a friend who just brought that skip potion and lvl thing and now I feel behind lol
Only to the start of the latest expansion
Yes Arr is slow but its necessary for world building and setting the stage
Even the smallest things come back
If you don't care about the story its fine
I guess it depends if you want to care about the story
if you expect the game to suddenly become amazingly fun after ARR if you don't like ARR, might not be what you expect it to be
stuff becomes alot cooler after ARR
also do consider that ARR was made in about half the development cycle compared to your typical FF game today
Okay maybe I'll keep my head down and keep going lol
it really all depends what your ultimate goal is
They reduced the amount of quests that it takes to get to heavensward, so it won't take as long as it used to
And heavensward has a pretty good plotline, but it only really pays off if you're invested
how hard is it to get the firebird?
Okay I see, I just feel like I'm missing out on things haha
The Jumbo Cactpot, does it adjust according to daylight savings?
So it's always 10pm est?
So nothing changes, your time changes
Wait, so the lottery time is the same, but the time for me to do it differs according to DST? is that what you meant?
can I unlock e1s after doing e4 or only after e12?
E4
thx
It unlocks in Tiers
so the actual lore of the raid is in doing the normal version, and not the savage, right?
And server time is UTC?
Savage has no lore
I mean
Other than it being a simulation or exaggeration of events
fantastic
Yeah
it has lore so far as it's explained to..not be real
and just in your head or whatnot
There's lore to explain there's no lore
Basically the only Extreme/savages that are “real” are the ARR primals besides Ultima and Ravana/Bismarck
yeah, I just wanted to know if I was missing something significant by ignoring savage :P but it must be like extreme trials from HW then
thank you for answers :)
The rest are simulations/dreams/hallucinations/songs from the minstrel
Arr extreme primal lore is just "oh no they're summoning them again
To be fair the first two extreme trials of HW do actually have proper lore
but yeah it's like the rest
@hearty mango Thank you for letting me know, most mmorpg games I've played i have skipped the story to get more into the pvp pve group instances etc competitive playing
I was playing earlier when my internet went out. Now im suspended, is there a quick fix or do i have to wait for a real person at SE to fix this?

how to quit the leap of faith gold saucer thing?
Can you click on the duty on the right and press abandon duty?
Np
Lorewise what Job is the most selfish and beholden to no-one?
At what level can you start crafting DoH Collectables?
50
thx
Selfish in terms of what?
Most likely to be self-centered in it's goals
Like a NIN starts as a Rogue who is like a thief who looks out for themself?
I wouldn't really say any class really has like a set personality, but I feel like in terms of "selfish" AST speaks to mind
Since its ishgardian and they're generally very isolationist and withhold information
could pretty much make an argument for all of the jobs
This tbh
like you're a free paladin, you're not beholden to the sultansworn
bard you have no official ties to gridania, and can do as you please
like...pretty much all of them, you're free to do whatever. you're not specifically tied to any real group
Yeah you could just come up with an excuse instead of it being tied to a specific job
Question: I just got the free trial, and I have a physical unopened copy of Stormblood
do I wait until I’m ready to purchase the full game to redeem stormblood? Or can I redeem it now and still use the free trial until I purchase?
You can't use expansion codes like stormblood without buying the game
After you purchase the game you can no longer access the free trial
I know
I know this too
But
Can I redeem it now so I don’t have to later?
Or will it revoke my free trial until I buy the full game
You PHYSICALLY can't redeem it now
Ohhhhhh ok
Gotcha
Lmao
When I do purchase which version of the game should I get? Starter or something else
Again its this
Starter edition if you want to use stormblood code
Okay, thank you
whats the best way to earn MGP in the gold saucer? I pretty much have nothing from there so I need to save up a lot of it
daily mini cactpot tickets, weekly cactpot tickets
alright, thanks
if you're very bored you can get MGP from the moogle tomestone event too
I can? how?
5000 mpg for 30 tomestone i think
there's also the weekly fashion report, which can give you 80k a week, but some of the items it requires may be pricey
Does it matter which world or data center I choose
no
60k
Cool
all of them are pretty populated
you get 10 tomestone for running pratorium, and if you get it thru MSQ roulette you get a ton of xp too
Jenova it is then because ff7 the 🐐
if you're good at them, the botanist/miner mini games up by the chocobo racing are decent
and if you're willing to invest time into chocobo racing, higher ratings give pretty good payouts
yeah thats what a friend recommended but its pretty hard and I need some practice at it lol
but thanks for the tips guys
I appreciate it

uh sort of? its basically how 1.0 botanist/miner worked
been while since i bothered with them but its like you have to hit the right spot
ah I see it on the wiki, Out on a Limb and The Finer Miner. I'll go check them out thx
Are the Physical/Mental/Tactical attributes on Squad missions the same every week or do they get randomized every reset?
Hmm okay. Then I guess I should update this wiki because the values here are not what I see in game.
Interesting. Two different wikis are wrong. I wonder if they recently adjusted the attributes or something
ok i double checked and i was right initially. it does change every week
Ah okay. Good to know. Just gives me a reason to train every week to meet the attributes then.
the only ones i believe don't change are flagged missions
Custom Deliveries are once a week or once a day?
once a week
Oh ok good
are any of the ShB raids puggable?
Eden or trials?
all of the raids are
pretty much the only content that's pretty iffy when pugging is ultimates
Mechanically, yes? But depends on your DC whether if they want to do pugging 
that said, you likely aren't going to find many groups to do the first two tiers of eden
but they are in the dungeon finder tho?
cool ill unlock them this weekend and try Eden normal out
doing savage blind is doable? @@
yes
hmmm, perhaps if you have your own 8 man group to figure things out with you
plenty of people pug the tier at release
having a strat will make it easier
but you can do it blind
which SB ex trial has the smallest party requirement to reliably farm?

If I put a Cuff-a-Cur machine in my private FC room, will others be able to play it or just me?
Other players should be able to use it, but not 100% sure. You can try it tho.
Okay. I haven’t bought it yet, otherwise I would have just tried it out myself. Thanks!
Ah alas
Any crafters that can help me with this Zodiac Brave step?
recruitment channel
how does one get the "brink of death" status effect as opposed to "weakness" in a duty?
when you die once then get raised, you get weakness. If you die again before weakness falls off and get raised, you get brink of death
and if you die with brink of death and get raised, the debuff timer on brink of death will be refreshed to max again
though to note, healer LB3 doesn't incur weakness/brink of death
If you die with weakness/brink of death though, you'll be rezzed with it with healer LB3.
yeah, it doesn't cleanse the debuff or anything, it just doesn't apply/reapply it

how would black mage's rotation generally work in PvP?
would it be something in the lines of F1 > Phantom dart > Thunder > shift cast F4 spam until xeno?
Hi guys
You want to chuck a Thunder on them as well
Can you teleport to a friend's house in Shirogane if you aren't even in SB story?
I assume if you're free trial or don't own SB you can't cuz the data is locked.
yes
you just won't be able to leave shirogane into kugane
you'll have to teleport back out to a zone you can access when you want to leave
Shirogane is open to everyone as long as you have a means of teleporting there
I see. And they need to be on the friends list to teleport?
Or can you just be in a party and accept the teleport there?
They have to be friends
gotcha.
They need friends or FC there to teleport to Shirogane
Also are there any websites to get ffxiv housing ideas from?
similar to Eorzea Collections for Glamour
https://housingsnap.com/ is the only one i know of for housing "glamour site"
its in jp but assuming the person links the items used, they go to lodestone so easy enough to change the jp in the url to na to see english version of lodestone
What are the materia I should meld onto my Samurai gear?
Can someone help me understand what is Extract vs Retrieve?
Retrieve as far I know takes out the materia in the slot
when you have 100% spiritbond you can extract materia from the item
wow I wish I knew this earlier
whereas retrieve is pulling the materia you melded off of the item
So the Spiritbond is the sole purpose for Materia extraction?
as well as binding an item to you
What were the old requirements for being a battle mentor?
what is the purpose of binding item?
once an item is bound to you, you can't sell it (assuming ofc it could be sold to others in the first place)
aye ok lol
the original requirements were 1000 instances completed, 300 commendations and a lvl capped healer/tank/dps
how do i sell itens on market? and how to get retainer?
You have to go to a retainer vocate in one of the city states
normally by the marketplace
retainer vocate?
and then you hire a retainer, customize its appearance, and after that I believe there's an option to have one sell items on the marketboard
hawkers alley
I only know that it's like right by all the shops in gridania
are you on free trial?
no
cause free trial users cant sell
i just dont see the optiopn
it's not on the marketboard itself, it's just by all the shops
Retainer vocate is past the marketboard, in between NPC vendors
They are always around the marketboard, regardless of the city state
So how to deal with getting blamed for for not LB as a healer in a Trial? My I didn't have lb on my hotbar since I never had to use it.
in gridania it's right where the 'shaded bowser' is at the bottom right
Just ignore it, but next time, have LB on your hotbar anyway
People get mad for stupid reasons
Thok normal?
Also, if you fall off the edge in Ravana normal, you can't raise
And healer lb3 doesn't save the party
No, like they they died in center
Well then that's their problem
I could revive them. I popped a swift cast+ raise+ dignity and they still died
Well, the whm
Oh well, it happens
Just ignore the complaints tbh. People find dumb reasons to blame others for dying.
For their own mistakes lol
It was even worse when I had to tell a Ast a run before to had Nocturnal because she wasn't in a stance for half of the trial. She went diurnal as I did.
my healer was running through and pulling mobs earlier ... I'm the tank xDD
Lmaooo!
some damn leeroy jenkins stuff right there
ty guys found the retainer vocate
that legitimately could have been a force of habit
like, me and frens got all tripped up by random single pull tanks
okay well I have a question; what are the main differences between Warrior and Paladin? Just started playing recently
can i change my retainer appareance anytime? and race?
Running lvl25 on the Marauder atm
You must buy a retainer fantasia. Can be purchased off the marketboard
Yes
ok ty
Differences in terms of what specifically
playstyle and party usefulness, I suppose
I'm not usually a tank in MMOs
Warrior is more self healing and Paladin is your typical "shield and defend" kind of class
If I'm gonna put it very simply
Warrior has many self healing abilities in its rotation. Can be a bit squishy tho
Paladin has more defensive tools that allow it to be more "comfy"
What is neutral sect?
so Warrior essentially can survive a little better if healer is dookie
Is it better that both Diurnal and Nocturnal?
You use properties of shields and regens at the same time
lv80 ast skills
no no
neutral sect is basically when you need a strong healing cd, its not a stance like diurnal or nocturnal
since neutral sect gives you the benefits of diurnal and nocturnal for aspected helios/benefic
I'll just have to level both classes and see how they feel ig xD
and increase healing potency

you have to play tanks in savage and higher to appreciate their differences imo
All jobs have different tools to fulfill the same responsibilities
in dungeons, especially higher end, you dont really tank tank ¯_(ツ)_/¯
describe "tank tank"
Even if a job is under performing, it will get adjustment
like, there’s no need for tank swap (shirk, provoke) or proper cooldowms for busters
no need to properly use invuls
What?
You still need cooldowns for tankbusters, no matter the level or content
And invulns are useful esp in dunegons when need be
idk, it feels less strict in dungeon
is the marriage quest compulsory to get the eternal devotion set?
you still have pop them coolies ofc but room for errors are sooo comfy
Some tankbusters truly DO HURT without proper mitigation. For example, red chocobo in bozja. That tank buster just hurts. Like hell
How many food do you need to give chocobo before it becomes it's favorite?
10
I don't really necessarily believe savage tanking will make someone truly "appreciate" the differences between tanks. Even so savage is only a slight increase in skill level even with tanking. So in normal content, it truly depends on the duty and the party you are dealing with
Just be at lv80 and there is a clear and solid differences between the tanks
ye that’s a fair take on it ^^
is the marriage quest compulsory to get the eternal devotion set?
Is it possible to buy only stormblood without shadowbringers? I cant afford shadowbringers rn
Oh... k
yeah I think so
also
just remember that there's a difference between selling an item and selling it on the marketboard
I just came back for Endwalker after leaving after Stormblood ended. Do I have a chance of experiencing everything in Shadowbringers or just focusing on finishing story content and get to 80 and unlock everything then wait?
Raids and such, didnt know if it would be too late in the cycle or not
ah, ok
current tier is still fairly populated
ShB’s raid is called Eden with 12 fights
fight 1 to 8 properly need to to form a premade group cause they are “old”
9 til 12 are the current tier and doable with pf ^^
Awesome alright, so there's still still time. Thanks!
Yeah, the only thing you missed, are progging these raids when they are fresh
hi, can you change your loadestone ID? I read that even if you change your in-game name people can still find you by the Loadstone ID :/
Is reset time same in all servers across all time zones?
Yes, assuming you mean weekly reset
What does it matter , daily or weekly
So it’s early morning for US folks , evening from brits

ye those weekly daily reset times are the same
i just didnt want to say all reset times are the same cause there might be some weird thigs idk about xD
you must be in 5.4 to do e9 and up right
Hey guys, I'm finally on shadowbringers gathering tier (70-80) what should I be farming for this final stretch?
Keeping a good balance between gil and xp
Can I get ||FF1 WoL ||armor in this game?
Don’t think so. You can get his head gear though
you must be in 5.4 to do e9 and up right
@leaden ginkgo just 5.3
The closest you can get so far is the tank set from Labyrinth of the Ancients.
But it's not, like, 1:1.
I'm currently doing leves
That's....dissapointing. They have the armor fully modeled from ||that cutscene too||
and facets
Hey guys, I'm finally on shadowbringers gathering tier (70-80) what should I be farming for this final stretch?
@worthy radish coffee bean, garden beet, upland wheat, amber clove, lemonete, dwarven mythril ore, sandteak log, underground spring water
Ty
Can you get his helmet like I heard someone else say? https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Light_Set
Yeah it's from the Collector's Edition of ARR, which you can still purchase through Mogstaion.
Is crafted gear BiS?
Since I already have the complete edition, how much extra do I have to pay?
For combat classes no, it's an introductory step. For crafting and gathering classes, yes, but it requires overmelding. Which can get quite expensive.
oh ok
$20 for each respective CE for base game/each expansion. $80 for all four as a bundle.
If you want just the ARR CE items, just $20.
I thought it was 60?
cause I know you can download the complete edition for 60$
oh wait
I didn't read
A mix of all of them but generally Weaver and Leatherworker, yeah. Tools are crafted by different classes depending on which kind of tool. Carpenter or Blacksmith, usually.
ok
for The Resistance Remembers, in the current relic, the one with 18 of two memory types etc. Is the most efficient/fast way just running 18 of each of the raids it mentions? or is the droprate from fates decent?
Drop rate from fates has been buffed. It's faster by a degree but quite monotonous.
Erm, if you own all the expacs on ps4 and then just have the starter edition on pc, are you able to run content or would you have to rebuy the dlc as well?
A friend of mine broke his ps4 while moving and is kinda confused on the licenses
You'll have to rebuy the expansions.
But just the expansions if you already own the starter edition. @plain junco
what's the bot command for memories of dying?

Bozja is best if there's a cluster farm party in the instance
So, I've been lvling Fishing and I got into the Diadam just to speed it up. I've hit 60 in there, gone and updated my gear, but I'm still only getting the lv10 fish. Is there a certain Lure I need for in there to get the lv60 fish?
but i find it difficult to get a gold star there
i get the memories once every 3-4 fates
not from the skirmishes, but from the regular mobs
if you're talking about the memories shaped like squares
if you mean the loathsome memories then Castrum Lacus Litore is your main source for them in bozja
how do i get exarchic weapons?
buy them off the MB
Or craft them yourself
what is top priority with tomes of allegory
gear if you need it.
im in full exarchic doing the relic steps right now
Then buy the tomestone materials above and including Spirit Extract and sell those on the marketboard
aye

what are the main spells that i need with blue mage to farm fates for memories of the dying??
Ram's Voice and Choco Meteor are your most vital spells. Ram is used for aoe-stun with a long duration and Choco Meteor for damage
Dragon's Voice is also nice to have for the large AoE size which makes it easy to hit lots of mobs, since you don't need a target to cast it
After that it's as many damage oGCDs as you can bother going for, like the primal spells
sweet thank you!
may I recommend adding that to the faq listing for memoryfates (as well as their counts)?
Diadem isn't the best way to speed up FSH leveling, since the majority of fish there are skyfish and they are level like. 80. People recommend doing Ocean Fishing as an equivalent for FSH
Someone else already DM'd me about the ocean fishing. Thanks anyway 😄
just hadn't seen a response so i wanted to make SURE you saw haha, np!
👍
Is there a fast way to toggle off hotbars while not in combat
Ah, thank you very much!
You can use a macro to toggle their visibility
something like
/hotbar display 1
this toggles the visibility of hotbar 1
Just add extra lines for each hotbar set that you want to hide, changing the number to match the hotbar
What about job specific gauges like this for DNC? @obsidian patio
no macro command to hide those, AFAIK
what makes you lose your sprout icon?
Open your journal to hide those
Yes, but I'd like a macro to do it
/hud DutyList
this shows all possible UI elements you can hide with that command
Is there anything you can use besides popping an essence of the skirmisher as a phys ranged for increased damage in delubrum?
168 hours of playtime, and completion of MSQ through stormblood, including all of the quests in the patches leading up to shadowbringers
just the deep essence that's for your job
you can pop Beast for the HP leech which is very helpful
I'm getting these rewards even if I already did it right? since I'm a tank https://i.imgur.com/feUxJ97.png
I could use some seals
Got healer to 70 and can’t enter bozja. Says that requirements not met
What am I missing
bozja is 71+, not 70
need to be 71
Oh
So I've been told 50/60/70 roulette and Normal Raid roulette isn't worth it for exp- what is it for instead?
tomestones
Poetic tomes. Used for level 50, 60, or 70 gear.
50/60/70 is great for poetics and normal raid is great for level 80 tomes
Aha, so when I get to those levels they're a prime way to gear up

Second Lieutenant, yeah. Unlocks hunts, which can be useful.
To unlock the ability to trade dungeon gear for GC seals
Finding these materials or someone who can make them is proving difficult to say the least
how can I avoid falling in Slice? I get out of aoe but it still pushes me
what instance?
yojimbo
the aoe are basically instant, you can't really dodge them for the split second they appear
you have to identify what type of aoe it's going to be by how the bamboo splits apart
yeah, but I'm not in the aoe, and I still get pushed,
or is the area beyond the aoe?
it shouldn't be, ideally
if you think it's larger than what they seem to be you can submit a bug report
the slice in bamboo happened, then aoe was to the side, not the big line, and i was outside of it and still got pushed
So a long time pet peeve, if I'm in a cutscene and am on a different job than I queued for
Is there any way to cancel the cutscene and join the duty?
I can only seem to -skip-, which is opposite of what I want
nope :\
what's worth getting with esoterics?

I think "worth getting" is a bit of a weird question to answer
uh.. mounts are neat, I guess
yeah i guess i mean like if anything is exclusive to this event, some of the stuff looks like stuff i can get elsewhere
That's the idea of the event 🙂 to give you a quick and easy way to get otherwise harder to get items.
The namazu earrings are exclusive
The falcon too
IMO I'd also get the Magiteck mount as well since its annoying to get otherwise
yeah that was what i was gonna ask next, like what's the best "savings" in terms of effort here
but yeah thanks
Tyrannosaurus is also kinda grindy to get normally, as it's from eureka
Ultima Horns come from the rare boss fate in Azys Lla which spawns every 24-48 hours or so
Blissful Kamuy is Lakshmi Extreme, which is a super easy fight to farm with multiple level 80's since you ideally see no mechanics but aoe damage
Drake/Goobbue/Elbst/Bomb/Direwolf are the ARR Beast Tribe mounts and each take like 3 weeks to grind for normally through dailies
Gullfaxi is Titan Extreme mount which is easy to solo at 80, same for Markab as Ramuh's mount.
Nightmare is a somewhat rare alternate mount drop from Ifrit/Titan/Garuda Extreme
i got a lot of the pony collection on like my first solo runs of those i was doing for the stamp book
in terms of time saved the beast tribe mounts are the big ones here, along with maybe the t-rex

yeah that's really helpful thanks
the rest of the items don't really have much note to them, Decisions can sell high on the marketboard if you're looking for gil
there's so much stuff in this game that's like half obsolete/deprecated so it's weird to dig up info on later because the guides will have been written in the time the content was new so they're like kind of wrong for the current game too
can people in your guild or even out of your guild craft things for you?
Yes, most crafted items are tradable.
nothing against it except i guess maybe free trial accounts have some limitations?
yeah free trial people can't trade
but otherwise there's nothing stopping you or someone else from trading stuff
i make orchestrion rolls for my friends all the time
ugh im entering serious problems then cuz i want to get the anima and then the stormbringer relic but anima cuz it looks the best and i wanted to get it in like 1 hour
!faq poetics
If i buy the lvl70 black mage skip item before getting thaumaturge will it unlock thaumaturge AND level it to 70 AND give me the class quest item to switch into black mage?
Or do i need to at least unlock thaumaturge
I'm pretty sure it unlocks it
So does it give the black mage soul too?
I cleared Aurum Vale cause I needed a spell, but I didn't get the Tomestones you usually get with it? What are the conditions to get the Tomestones?
I think so
Did you undersize the dungeon?
Yes, went in solo
undersized dungeons don't give mog tomes
You have to go in level synced with a party of 4
Just rushed it for the spell, but thought I'd ask for conditions for future runs too
I see, ok thanks
Yeah I gathered as much, thanks. I'm leveling it for that purpose and this particular quest had me go in there to get a spell so I thought the whole party finder thing was for speed only. TIL
Yeah, level synced is the only requirement for moogle tomes. Let's just say I did darkhold solo and level synced recently because of reasons
I mean, leveling is done (70) but I need spells and to do job quests so I get a better weapon than the startign one 😂
Blu weapons don't have stats so you don't really need to worry about that too much
You do remember that BLU barely has any too important weapon stats. We only get the weapon because of meld slots
Though the higher level ones let you put materia on them
Spells and gear is probably your higher priority
Especially with how stupid some spells get
Ah I see, I just noticed the lvl 50 BLU weapon was basically zero upgrade. haha
Just hit em with da chocobo meteor 😎
I had some gear saved from before (I did MSQ on DRG) so I just opened those level 70 coffers I could with BLU.
I'm more of a hydro pull and ram's breath guy here. Though important thing is adapting spells to one's circumstances
I used Water Cannon till I got Ram's Breath. I thought "finalyl an AoE at least!". Been chasing spells otherwise by going down a list but then abandoned the idea cause i only need a few particular ones. Speaking of, I don't think I've done the Hildibrand quest that unlocks Battle in the Keep so gotta do that too >_>
Missile is one of the more important spells as against bosses that can instantly die, you'll be spamming missile to chunk their health down
Btw, does BLU not actually go higher than 70? O.o I stopped leveling cause I didn't get much exp but didn't realize it actually is limited.
All other classes go to 80 tho?
It's literally called a "Limited Job" for that reason :3
haha Isee
It's much stronger, but not allowed to level high or participate in a lot of duties.
Thought limitation was dungeon entries and spells
Yeah, that's what the limited is for. BLU excels in synced content but never matches up to the other jobs
Oh well, I wanted it for completion ofc but also tomestone farming. Not sure if anything in that moogle shop is missable but rather not risk it.
Also, because of how stupid BLU can get, BLU is forbidden from participating in ultimate
You can pvp for tomestones too. Rate is pretty similar and pvp can open a few new interesting doors
I'm not much for pvp in any game really. I prefer adventure, story, etc. Glad this game has minimal focus on the former.
I do realize I need to do some pvp for completion, but I'll just use it for that later.
There's a lot of missable stuff in this game in general, but SE does a pretty decent job of pulling old stuff back in
Knock yourself out. This game has been compared to an amusement park where you don't have to do everything. Just do the things you enjoy
Also story, because why else would you buy a final fantasy game
i'm probably like 15 hours into the game and one thing I have realized is people should think of this game as RPG first and mmo second
i think that's why most people say not to rush story
quests*
also send help i've been listening to ff13 music all day it's so addicting

What's the respawn timer for mobs in general?
does anyone know what the augmented law's order weapon quest is? I'm trying to get my second weapon to augmented but I'm not sure what the quest is
30s to a minute
It should be on gerolts assistant as usual
I realise I need some form of healing. I have the list of skills to learn for BLU but I dunno which are heals. Can you name any I can get so I got something?
lol which one is it then
A new path of resistance?
ah, so it is
I think your options are:
White Wind, Pom Cure, Stotram, Angel's Snack and Exuviation.
@jolly sorrel Many thanks I'll look at those!
Apart from white wind, you'll need aetherial mimicry to effectively use any of the other heals
Oh, how so?
!action pom cure
Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 100
Cure potency is increased to 500 when you are under the effect of Aetherial Mimicry: Healer.
This spell seems fundamentally no different from those used by the conjurers of Stillglade Fane, though upon inquiry as to its detailed workings, an anonymous moogle provided the following words of advice: “Stuff your pom with magic─you know, the sparkly kind─then go 'bwaaa'!”
Furryfoot Kupli Kipp / Thornmarch (Hard)
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 3
They're very low potency when not in healer mimicry
See: cure potency increased to 500
Or do other stuff entirely, like Strotam being a damage aoe without healer mimicry
Healer Mimicry itself also boosts healing
Still does damage in healer mimicry doesn't it?
nope, becomes a pure heal
I just wanna heal myself during stuff so I don't die, like this Carnival thing.
Yeah you definitely need aetherial mimicry for carnivale
Healer Mimicry and Pom Cure are all you need for that
Exuviation is necessary also
White Wind seems enough but it says I get it from a "Whalaqee Totem". Not sure what that is
depends on the exact duty for exuviation
!action white wind
Certain number of spells learnt
basically just a spellbook completion reward
Restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members by an amount equal to your current HP.
White Wind imbues a localized current of air with purified aether, distributing its curative effects throughout the vicinity. Though powerful for such a simple spell, the purification of sufficient aether requires significant magical exertion on the part of the caster, and thus should be used sparingly.
Learn 10 spells.
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 3
It says 10 spells
When you get 10 spells talk to the guy on the far right
talk to the mamool jal near Azuro in Ul'dah
Ah
Totems should be an option from his menu
Had 5 totems to get lol
Off-guard, Mighty Guard, White Wind, Transfusion and Angel's Snack. Is Mighty Guard as good as in other FF games?
Mighty Guard is your tank stance, basically.
it nerfs your damage by a lot but makes you tanky
And uninterruptable, to boot!
I don't recommend it for the carnivale
Wow nice for clutch
what does mighty guard do in other FF games?
It is different but usually Shell, Protect, etc. Most of the positive stuff.
!action diamondback
Reduces damage taken by 90% and nullifies most knockback and draw-in effects.
Unable to move or take action for the duration of this effect.
Duration: 10s
If used when Waxing Nocturne is active, its effect will transition immediately to Waning Nocturne.
The effect of this action cannot be ended manually.
Diamondback weaves earth-aspected aether into a hard mineral shield, mimicking what many describe as the “maddening” effect of shelled dragons' carapaces. Alas, though its defensive properties are superlative, its weight makes it impossible for the caster to move while under its aegis.
Cuca Fera / The Stone Vigil (Hard)
Horde Armored Dragon / The Steps of Faith
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 4
yeah it was basically a bunch of defensive buffs applied at once, sometimes to the whole party
... yeah, mighty guard is basically just mighty guard with a damage penalty
Yeah so a bit gimped here but still useful.
Btw, does Bristle help with White Wind and such?
only damage spells
Ah. 1000 Needle then? Or is that fixed regardless?
always fixed
Ok
also in terms of potency per GCD, Bristle and Whistle isn't worth on using your main GCD filler spells
yep
AKA the thing when you use a spell or weaponskills and you have to wait for a short timer to finish to use another one
Ah I see
Btw, I did part 2 of the Masked Carnivale, but I couldn't use Ultravibration on the second part. How come? I don't see restrictions written? I thought maybe the spell I killed things with in the first part wasn't accessible or something in the second?
The details on the right side of the carnivale menu list what things each specific enemy are immune to for each duty/act
Ultravibration counts as a "Death/instant kill" spell in terms of those resistances
for the most part, instant death spells don't work on boss type enemies
Ah!
your typical spell loadout for masked carnival usually consists of primal spells, a filler (usually the element one the target is weak to) and special actions that may be required
There's guides for recommended loadouts for each one though some are just straight boss fights with gimmicks
Like being inflicted with a heavy debuff and needing a spell to teleport you out of danger
I should also note some Carnivale bosses will only take damage to a particular type depending on the debuff, like magic only or physical only
Its okay to not pass Carnivale on the first try, it encourages you to bring different loadouts all the time to try new things until you clear it
does someone has a alchemist makro for the lv55 class quest?
What's the best way to earn yellow crafter scrips at level 50? Is it custom deliveries? I tried to craft collectibles but the materials for those can only be bought on NPCs and are also pretty costly.
Generally, you dont
the leveling materials from the vendors are merely a source of convenience.
you can still gather and craft them the normal way
they're just a "laziness/marketboard is too expensive" option
Oh right I see it now, must've remembered wrong
if you want the short answer, the best way to earn yellow scrips is to get up to 80, and then farm the materials for the espresso pan crema or something along those lines
Yeah, I got confused by your answer, but I saw the Post Mortem guide and it doesn't require yellow scrip gear early on

hey @obsidian patio if I'm not wrong, you can also get Loathsome Memory of the Dying (Gray Crystal) from the Crystal Tower raids in the FAQ
Yes. I only wanted to list the zones and not instances.
oh I see!
with Bozja being an exception due to castrum giving more
I assume if I make a black mage or some other caster, I could use the same gear as my BLU at least up to 70, no? I mean, it is just Intelligence that's important for casters unless I missed something
Not just intelligence but that is the most important stat
and yes, blu would be fine with that
in terms of 'stat that makes the job work' yes, int is the one
in terms of itemisation, blu DEVOURS crit so you want as much of that as possible if you care about substats
a little bit of sps is also nice
can i stop chat auto scroll?
whenver i scroll up and click something else on chat
it just scrolls back down
it's annoying
unrelated: what's the best source of timeworn artifacts? unsure how the droprate in potd functions
The droprate in potd is shit until you get down below floor 100, then it's slightly less shit
best to do DR for timeworns
Unless you can get a group together as a Dr run usually takes 45 mins and with a good group you can run 51-200 in 4ish hours
So DR unless organised. Sure
On your own Dr is unfortunately the best way to go. Maybe you'll get lucky and grab some resell able stuff in the process
Golden gabe keys still go for around 4 mill
can someone help me do the Great Hunt trial? maybe as undersized
oh sry
Best to put up your own pf for that one
I went to learn Level 5 Death from Page 64 but it just kept casting that Death Ray. Is that it and I was just unlucky or is it actually called "Level 5 Death"?
That's it, it's weird about it tho
Oh so it IS the death ray?
I had to kill Demon Wall to get to the first Page 64's. How many are there in total in the dungeon?
Correct enemy
Different spell
Iirc it only casts it if there's only one enemy
Or something like that
I can't fully remember
Well I'm alone...
i usually see it cast it if you put some distance away from it
Then wait
Ah I see
Crap killed 3 so far. Hope ther are more of them. Kinda meh to solo bosses in here
Sweet, distance helped! Thanks!
can i just sell the weapons to any merchant?
doesn't doman enclave give you more gil per item?
yeah

What're good single target dps spells? I'm still using whater cannon on BLU >_>.
any 220 potency spell
Really? So water cannon being 200 isn't even that far off?
basically pick whatever has your preferred form of aoe/targeting
I have a few AoE choices but they're also 200-220
I thougth there were higher ones, like 300 400...
Ah
In terms of general overworld content the best overall spell is Choco Meteor, which has 300 potency when you have your chocobo out.
Saintly Beam does 500 potency, but that's only on undead targets and requires being level 70 to unlock
On White Mage when should you use cure II instend of cure I
I heard someone saying you should replace cure I with cure II except if you're low on mana
But i also heard you need to use cure I except if your tank is low on health
basically always use cure 2 over cure 1 if your mana isn't too low
Eventually WHM's mana efficiency is so good that cure 1 becomes a waste to ever cast
When should you use cure III?
That's for AoE healing where everyone is clumped up.
the ideal scenario is for stack markers
or heavy raidwide damage and everyone is sticking close.
Ok
just to double clarify - whoever said that you need to use cure 1 unless the tank is low, is a straight moron
that is never correct
yes, cure 2 should be treated as an upgrade to cure 1
Without spoiling too much: Does Battle on the Keep unlock by further doing Hildibrand quests? I've passed the Bridge one a while back just curious about the next one.
yes
Ty
wonderous tales?
do shards expire? They look pretty and I'm wondering if I can keep them for decor
Cactpot mini?
fashion report once a week gives a decent amount
@cosmic fern Fashion Report
and is super easy
and honestly, playing mini cactpot doesnt hurt much
can only really win
Ive won 10k MGP a day from cactpot mini and ive only had the golden saucer unlocked for 4 days...
with those 2 + fashion report you should get whatever you want from the gold saucer in okay time
not like they have tons of things people want anyway
I got the adamantoise
true, but fashion report alone is a minimum of 80k a week
Whats a good way to lvl up if i dont wanna rush thru the story? Queueing for leveling dungeons isnt helping cause i keep getting into the ifrit fight
sure it'll take some time but it also takes almost no effort and can just be done on the side
!faq altlvlguide
Queue to highest dungeon
Yeah, dont queue for leveling roulette over and over
it's only worth it once a day for the bonus
Only once a day
Oh ok
can i just build full augmented cryptlurker set for dancer?
Can we trust the Recommended Gear system?
Not always
If you mean "craft" then no, you gotta do savage to augment the cryptlurker pieces
no
Once it reccomented me ring with +1 inteligence instend of the one with better stats
token echange or something
Like +9 crit
once a plant is finished growing it can stay there forever until you harvest it
This! Exactly why I asked haha
You can get the regular cryptlurker via tomestones but you only get the item you need to exchange it for the augmented version via savage
Eh, +1 int is probably better than +9 crit
the recommended gear system actually works pretty well for the most part
Yes but int is a main stat which have a way bigger impact on performance than substats
For most but not all
Well, you can also buy a cheap ring with +21 inteligence for 20k propably
Sorry I meant 60k, but the point still stands. It takes little effort for a decent chunk of MGP
One more question. Where can I get a better staff as a free trail BLM? Currently I have Keep of Saints (Green lvl43). I also have a Ivory staff (normal lvl49). The former one has an additional bonus of +12 skill speed. The latter has better Mgk DMG (+3). Both since they're both not blue, I believe I could get something better
Also, for now, which of the two is better?
For which lvl?
I'm currently lvl55
what is your current story quest?
But lvl49 msq
use the one with more magic damage
pretty sure you have access to mor dhona at that point
Need to do Castrum Meridianum
and yeah more damage is better
that is worth a lot more than the spell speed
Just do a tiny bit more msq and you will unlock the ironworks gear
Ah! Thanks
I see, thanks
Weapon Damage/Magic Damage >>>>> Main stats (STR/DEX/INT/VIT/MND) >>>>> Secondary stats
this works like 99.99% of the time
Just have to buy the gear for poetics
There's a full set, including armour and accessories and it will be the best you can get until you start the first expansion
or rather are in the middle of it
I see
is macro necessary late game?
No, in fact most macros are bad
If a macro involves a GCD or more than one oGCD it's probably a bad macro.
just making sure, there are no arr relic weapons for machinist right?

Hey guys. Just re-subbed after a 2 year break and feel very lost. Would it make sense to create a new character or start a new class on my old character? Basically just looking to understand where I should pick up 🙂
There's no real answer to that. Personally I'd use my old character and abuse the heck out of the NN for help
What's the name of the BGM that plays against some of Carnivale and some of the non-specific Omegascape bosses?
whats "NN"? 🙂
Deltascape bosses besides ExDeath use "Omega^2" as their boss theme, Sigmascape besides Kefka's later phases use "A Battle Decisively"
Novice Network, basically a new player global chat channel
I was doing the trial on the official launcher version, and just bought the full game on Steam, can I have it somehow detect the game files so I don't have to download the whole game again or are they completely separate?
If you're a Returning Player, you get an invite to the NN automatically. If you are a sprout, you gotta find a mentor on your service to invite you
Probably just shout in your starting city and someone will respond
how do you enable dps meter?
DPS meter does not exist in-game. There are third party tools, but they're sorta hush hush so that's something you'll have to Google yourself.
oh ok

What’s the item name of the lv80 striking dummy? I bought one without knowing the level and it’s a lv50. 🧐
how do yall get good info on the market? universalis only has history for this month and mogboard only has history up to december 2019 wtf xd
tbh I just scan it myself, look at things like maybe ores or ingots/nuggets and see what selling a lot
but i want to see price history over like a few months
there's really no reason to go that far back
if prices are down from back then, they probably won't be going back up to that point again
crystarium
i want to see the price of mariner cotton cloth and moonfire clothing items from before the current moogle event
mogboard only has history up to december 2019
To be fair december 2019 would be before the event started IIRC
sure but its a whole year and then soem ago lol
I’ll just tell you that the cloth is annoying to get the normal way so stockpiling on it may not be a bad idea if you’re looking in the long term
Also take a look at the things you can craft it into
And like that I’m going to sleep now
Ehm, can I solo Battle in the Big Keep as BLU 70 to get the ability? Else I guess I gotta make a Party?
You can but it's not a guaranteed drop
If you solo it unsynced, the chance of learning the spell will be less than 100%
Well how do I get in with 100%+
Go in a party of full BLUs or just synced in a full party
Synced in a full party, yeah
So Party Finder but keep it synced, enough?
Ok cool, thanks!
well, you don't even need a full party
if it's synced I reccon it helps

I heard there's an issue with E12S that a platform change forces the fairy to heel. Is that in P1 or P2?
Role restrictions aren't needed right, just being synced is enough to guarantee to get the spell from the battle?
Anyone playing on a 3440x1440 monitor? The UI resolution on 200% (WQHD) settings looks just weird and way to big. What are you playing the ones on higher res?
should prob ask the balance or an actual hardcore focus server
4k was too much for my video card
It's almost impossible to find people who need this cleared. What's the % chance to get Missile if I clear Battle on the Keep unsynced?
Is it like 60%? Cause worth doing that a couple of times instead of waiting for a full party it seems
I got it by waiting for more active times on the server.
Got a full blue party and ran a crapton of fights in a row for everyone
For stat allocation for a dark knight for the resistance weapon what should i be putting those 1k points in?
Oh I see, that's smart. I assume the roles can be all random then.
I'm on a 3440x1440 with 100%. Didn't wanna go bigger. I have however enlarged some windows by rightclicking on the top and selecting "Scale Window".
what does it offer u
tenacity determination crit and sks
crit>det>sks probably
unless the sks is gonna fuck with a stat tier
but u should be fine
is tenacity just useless?
tenacity is better described than in practice (it requires excessive amounts to act as passive mitigation and the healing buff effect is for self healing, not from a healer. det is a little more useful as a pure damage stat)
I wouldn't avoid it but wouldn't meld it either
how long does it take to complete story up to 5.4
From where?
the start
Probably around 300 hours
Plus minus something, depending on how you play or if you rush
Just take your time, next expansion is months away
What do you suggest melding materias for healer? I added all as critical rate and direct hit rate, I should add determination too right?
Is there any benefit to having Shadowbringers before I'm at the required level/quest completion? I'm not even at 20 yet lol
Only if you want the special edition stuff
If you really want to play the expansion races or jobs early, that's literally it
Where can I get Items to equip to my head body etc....
vendors? what do you mean specifically?
trying to complete present your self to Warin
There are situations where you would actually use it, for example WAR does not generally meld any dhit, which makes tnc an option to meld on equipment that has crit/det capped and you're already at the sks tier you want to be
Head to any of the 3 major city aetherytes, world visit, select your world

Hi. I’ve completed msq. Now I learned that there are side quests going back as far as ARR that are relevant to the main story. How do I access them after completing msq?
Just do them tbh, they start wherever they start and work just like any other quest
Which quests are you talking about? Could point you in the right direction

You want the ARR 8-man raid then

Go to the Waking Sands
Talk to Urianger
Problem is I am already post-5.0 in msq
Doesn't matter
