so i dont have to farm for revelations and eden save tokens like a madman everyweek?
Nier raid will be weekly locked
fml
also Eden Normal tokens, besides the weapon token, will not be weekly locked
and if you have the gil to spare, you can buy exarchic and upgrade it to i520 by exchanging it and Allegory tomestones for tokens to get the i520 stuff
Oh will the weapon token still be locked?
yes, but you'll only need 4 instead of 7
exarchic are so weak tho
Hello, is 520 worth to farm ?
how to unlock pvp roulette?
depends on your raid need

520 from upcoming new nier, aug exarchic will be so easy to get so idk, get them anw ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Better gear is always better gear
I mean if you want to optimise it's worth looking into
Should I focus it ?
where do i unlock wolves den pier?
I'm 510 for the moment
For example on a red mage you forgo all spell speed since you don't need it so you'd want to avoid using tome or exarchic pieces that have it
if you dont do savage, 510 is already excessive
Didn't even unlock it
Well thanks
Is there anything funny you'd recommend to a new player to focus on ?
Sorry I meant raids
i think im doing something wrong
There's the full option raid series, omega, ivalice, Alexander, the hw alliance who's name I can't remember
Funny? Seek out the Hildibrand quests.
Im in the lochs and i did 10+ fates and no memory dropped
"The resistance remembers"
Rng is rng
I mean since the time you last asked in here I had 2 raid runs so 2 memories
So I'd still recommend just queueing for them while doing fates

At least this step is a once off
Has SE assigned a community manager to this discord? Just saw they did it for dragon quest tact
Yeah already done that one, vert en enjoyable
Yeah but what about second hildi brand?
are mining/botany nodes the only thing exclusive to the circle map that cant be seen on the big M map?
Is there something that can sell relatively well in the GC materials with seals ?
or do I just stock on bombard cores
ummm at the very least in importance yeah?
Different servers different marketboards, you'd really have to check that yourself
just wondering if i can just delete the circle map on my main hud layout
I'd guess raziqsand might be okay
then use a second one just for mining and botany with the circle
and not miss out on anything else through that
Special fates only appear on your minimap
Hey guys, quick question - Lue-Reeq hasn't spawned in the Crystarium for me. I'm currently on The Light of Inspiration MSQ so have got the necessary progression, so am wondering what I've missed?
You can always make the minimap transparent Locke?
all the other role quest givers have spawned, but not Physical Ranged
Did you maybe already start it?
Check your journal
and also the completed quests section
as in like id rather lock my M map to the corner and have a big one i can see rather than the teensy one
in fact shouldn't the role quests appear under the MSQ tracker? @wide hill
Yeah, but theres nothing there and no evidence that i've started it by mistake and forgotten in my journal
im sure im doing something stupid, i just cant work out what
Have a minimap in corner and...have a bigger minimap elsewhere?
You can change the size of your minima on the hud as well as its magnification
like replace the compass minimap with the map basically just to be able to zoom out enough to see a whole zone and have that operate as the minimap
can you just humour me and screenshot your screen so I can see the MSQ tracker and this part of the journal just so I can see you haven't started it already?
i've done as many of those as I can do, up to the level 70 one
the level 80 one doesnt unlock until i finish this section of the MSQ
Ye
Like, the only other thing I can think of is just a screenshot of the Crystarium bar map
To see what quests are there
please tell me im stupid
what are the other locked
there?
Did you start the lue reeq quest already?
magic dps and ranged physical is the same questline
Lue-Reeq should be here, supposedly
Have you checked your active quests?
magic and ranged get diff questlines
^ okay that's the last thing I can think of
there is no specific ranged physical questline
One last picture of your current quests
Cuz it won't show up in the menu calisaie asked for if you haven't finished the first one
F
it's fine 😄
im so stupid, thank you 😢
Okay I assume you've found it
in all fairness it is weird
I assume I was correct...
and EW will have a dedicated physical ranged role questline
It happens
sooo...
yeah, its there - thank you guys
you're not wrong for assuming there'd be one I guess
In all fairness being weird has nothing to do with this
Lol

Hey im a returning player... how do i download the game? I had all the dlcs content before i left and i dont see a download location on mog station
why is there so much controversy in-game regarding AST sects
i've had WHM tell me as AST to go noct sect
but i prefer diurnal, so
¯_(ツ)_/¯
the general rule of thumb is that if your co healer has big heals you'll go noct
though in the end it's not a big deal
Your regens won't stack with whm regens
only if your cohealer is a scholar should you really not go noct
And your shields won't stack with sch shields
Shields + regen is also a lot more effective
It's recommended to go diurnal with sch and nocturnal with whm
in EW it won't matter at all anymore btw because ast will lose shields ¯_(ツ)_/¯
So basically your diurnal sect basically doesn't work with white mages and your nocturnal sect doesn't work with scholars
aspected helios doesn't stack with regen?
Not the regen version
That's why people tell you to go noct/diurnal
Should have explained but yeah now you know
was not explained
why dont people in this game just explain things instead of telling u what to do

"use noct, please" is shorter than "use noct because regen doesn't stack despite that WHM regen stack with WHM regen"?

I'm just jesting
I mean, it's true though.
Another possibility is the WHM is on PS4
autotranslate can also just be quicker too
Easier for us if we keep it short and sweet
Regardless, I do want to commend you for dropping by to ask questions
Instead of getting mad and just dismiss what the WHM said
So 6.0 will make unsync harder due to less scaling right? Or am I dumb?
it will make unsync easier if you're level 90
the stat squish is between 50 to 80
so it will be harder to unsync stuff at 80
But if the scaling is lower
It should still be harder to unsync stuff at 90 than it is right now?
no becauase from 80-90 there is going to be normal scaling as before
the stat squish is just between 50 to 80
They said unsync will be slightly harder because of the squish - what that means exactly we don't know.
likely means they're planning to fuck up the scaling relative to old content. Happens in other MMOs all the time.
They're just covering their bases
so even level 80-90 is getting squished?
It's not a "squish" if we don't have it yet, lol
It is easier to say some might get slightly harder
it is incredibly likely that we will suffer a loss of player power when the squish goes in place
because this will not be perfect
But 81-90 wont be squished, it just will still be weaker than current 80
it's likely square are covering their bases
Than to say "everything will be absolutely exactly the same"
you know what i mean tho
Not really
I dont either
Imma cut to the chase: you are worrying for nothing
Nah I am sure it will be much harder than current unsync
i meant the if stats scaling progression from level 80-90 is going to be smaller than the current scaling
I need to do calculations but I am lazy
If ur worried things will be harder to unsync, get a group together and farm old stuff before 6.0
I'm gonna push my fc to do it too lol
Is there a spreadsheet for like what drops e9n-e12n drop in different quantities
i meant the if stats scaling progression from level 80-90 is going to be smaller than the current scaling
for example, will level 80-90 follow the same scaling progression as 50-80 in 6.0
How can i tell if istill have the full game? With dlcs? It just says standard mode :< i wanna make sure i have the game before i play it ya know?
But it wont
They are squishing because of the great numbers
Why would they make the big jump again
Check mogstation. Your account page will show what you own.
Log into mogstation and it'll have a table there saying
yeah we're not gonna see a massive jump
I'll give you mine as an example
!faq edenloot
@leaden ginkgo
i thought yoshida said they would preserve the current scaling for 80-90 in his reveal video a month ago
Thank you king/queen
only scaling for 50-80 will be decreased
that'd be a kinda ridiculous leap in power
Oh! So i do have it
Ok awesome thanks
I assume that the power scaling will be linear so I assume 81-90 will be the same scaling ratio of 41-50? Is that right?
Enemies will also have reduced stats due to the stats squish but again we don't know the full deal until end walker releases
No
Can't know what doesn't exist
Enemies have reduced stats but we still arent much higher stats to unsync it fast
Whats the most played server nowadays? Im thinking of making another character on a diffrent area maybe nit ather? Idk is ather even good? Ive been gone since july 2nd
It will be harder, we just dont know how harder
do i need to have the relic equiped or the job
for the last step
the vexatious crystals
Unknown
so do you guys recommend getting the EX farms done now rather than after 6.0?
I can't remember
@leaden ginkgo I'd say take the closest server for ping, if you decide to raid you will thank me because high ping prevents doing shit that increases DPS
only if you're concerned about it, otherwise I don't know how different it'll be
Interesting
Server pop doesn't matter at all really. Content is done across the data center and also preferred servers give a MASSIVE XP bonus for newly made characters and even if they might be smaller that is where all the new players get funneled into so it'll probably feel way more alive and busy than normal
post 5.55 maybe focus on farming shb ones, since they'll be harder to unsync later
Hey, I'm trying to use the mogstation name change thing but it goes straight to the service details page now
why is that
when before it gave me a sheet to input whatever name change I actually want
so I'm kinda worried it saved the last form that I hadn't actually fully completed?
and what's the purpose of unsync ShB EX's? aren't they all at level 80?
Thanks
Because they're the most recent content and thus harder to unsync in EW, and 5.55 brings the last relic steps so you'll be the highest ilvl possible for this expansion.
@leaden ginkgo Basically double weaving is throwing 2 inbetweeners between the abilities, so high ping would only allow for 1 inbetweener, which is actually still playable and you can still raid well with acceptable DPS, but if you tryhard about raiding I suggest going closest Datacenter, and whatever server is preffered
Im going to be very blunt and say that worrying about stat squish making unsync harder is a futile effort
Also one more thing it says for subscriptions using credit card there will be a extra fee of 1$? For some reason???
Pretty sure its jsut a 1$ transaction test
That will return after
You are not going to be relatively weaker at lvl 90
Hi, will Endwalker introduce a new playable race?
No
Oh ok
@knotty spindle Playable race? Idk, tribe race? Yes
The most we can ever possibly get for a "new race" would be male Viera and female Hrothgar but even that is highly debatable if that'll happen and as far as we know as not been talked about
No new playable races after ShB. We may get fem hrothgar and male viera but it's unknown.
is that a given?
we won't get lupin at all?
Im pretty sure we wont
Yes - they said viera and hroth were the last races to be added, because they take a lot of time are difficult to impliment.
Of course, that could change in the future, but I doubt it would be different in EW.
I was wondering if they'd add a half human half elf race
Like that character from heavensward
probably not, since halfbreeds are rare
How do i equip DRK job?
Easier to implement though
and mixing is fairly looked down upon, if not banned
equip any drk weapon
Equip greatsword
And have you unlocked it?
i remember someone said here that interracial mixing is fairly discouraged by pretty much every race in eorzea, especially elezen
Buying DRK weapon off MB doesn't count as unlocking it btw
That's odd
How do you unlock it?
!faq hwjobs
Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (DRK, Tank), Astrologian (AST, Healer), and Machinist (MCH, Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Since the 5.3 update DRK, AST, and MCH are now included in the free trial/Starter edition of the game, though the unlock requirements are still the same.
Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".
Machinist - Stephanivien at Foundation (8,10), quest name is "Savior of Skysteel".
Well, that's disappointing then
Ty
It would be cool to have that option
Short version: you need to reach the Heavensward starting city
well just play as a short elezen with human-ish ears
I mean, I think Snack makes it sound worse than it is but yeah they wouldn't do that anyway because it would just mean basically a new race effectively
or a tall highlander hyur
They just don't look human to me at all
how to do this quest
Go to Ul'dah
Oh wait
Yeah I see
go to Ul'dah
and go to the airship landing
and get on airship
uldah which one
Either should do IIRC but Steps of Nald has an entrance to the landing
there should be an option to teleport to the airship landing from the main aetheryte crystal in uldah
Im thinking of switching from black mage to paladin any thoughts?
You might be less confused if you just opened up the map a bit more so you can see more detail Taha instead of being SUPER zoomed out
just. do. it.
Whatever floats your boats
Hard to give thoughts since both are completely different
Both are fun
I also never tanked before
No such thing
Im worried ima suck
None of the classes are bad
That can be a thing
do it. paladin is good tank. verry good survivability
but you'll be fiiiine
i love tanking with paladin
Hard part about tanks is just the actual tanking part
Im just tired of playing mmo rpgs and being the squishy run away character ya know?
it's one of the few classes that lets you run through dungeons with a not-so-up-to-par healers
the class specific stuff is easy
!faq tankguide
See that green icon there?
if you play paladin, you won't need to rely on the healer as much, or, another way of saying, if you have bad healer in the party, it's not a dealbreaker for the dungeon
Man i missed this community allways so helpful hahaha
so i strongly recommend paladin
Talk to that NPC and he'll let you into the airship landing
tanking is much easier than playing black mage
it's the only class i'll never touch given so many horror stories i've heard about it
every job is hard
except dancer and scholar
black mage is not that hard
Tanking is hard for me so far as I get anxiety since it's so easy to tell when you fuck up tanking
It's understandable if you find it hard to do
playing well with it requires a bit a brain power
How do i get to ishgardian, where do i teleport to?
Foundation
Assuming you've gotten to HW and whatnot yeah the "foundation" aetheryte
Ty
it's hard to fuck up tanking tho, unless you're talking about savage content where you have to do tank swaps?
and E11 TB takes like 80-85% of your HP even on normal mode if you don't mitigate.
can you invuln your way through it?
what should i buy?
Limsa
Limsa
limsa lominsa
As the quest tells you
for some reason i pictured you as very angry when you typed that
I've been crafting a lot (Ishgardian Restoration) and I'm starting to run low on gil. Any tips for making gil?
@faint flare whats crazy is i remember you from when i played back in july lol your pfp is the same pretty much
I guess i completed the ishgardian citizen quest because i dont see him anymore
do roulettes
and the adventure in need bonus is repeatable
are you on free trial? if not then I'd say check the mb for what's in demand, gather a bunch and sell it
Do i need a lvl 30 drk weapon?
meaning that a level 80 class can spam leveling roulette (make 30k on the first run, and then ~10k on each subsequent run)
You get given one
If you're spending money on mats. Gather them yourself and sell what you don't use.
Playing the MB, cookie leves if you're willing to gather
what are cookie leves?
a lv78 CUL levequest
Coffee biscuits
is that the most profitable levequest?
coffee biscuits are pretty easy to make (only require three materials to craft) and it gives around 15-18k gil per leve allowance
100 allowances is 1.8M gil
I'm spending a lot of money for GC turn-ins and new crafting gear, which is why I'm down to 80k 😦
How many people can you have in a GC squadron?
craft the GC turn-in gear
8
how do you kick people
I'll try and be better at the market board and do more roulettes lolol
when you get a new person and your squad is full, you can choose the new person to replace a person of your choosing
When you go to recruit a new person, it'll offer you to kick someone to make place for them
which expac are you in?
I'm just about to start stormblood
Also make sure to check the prices on all worlds via the !market command
Whm has more personal dps cause astro gives raid buffs
thanks
Whats a one time password?
is holy also higher potency than gravity?
holy is pretty good for farming fates right?
oh man, did not know that, that's huge
it's not always accurate
http://www.square-enix.com/na/account/otp/index.html @leaden ginkgo
basically, if you don't have a 2 factor authentication tied to your account, basically ignore that line
especially for low-volume items
also yeah, the !market command is not always up to date because the website it draws from isn't
due to the fact that its only updated when someone who has the plugin looks at those items
still, better than nothing. I'm def overspending due to laziness
are you world-visiting?
but I got all my crafters and gathers to 43-47 today so I'm happy
sometimes prices between worlds can be dramatically different
this might be overkill but i what i did in stormblood was
i researched the prices of all the quest item rewards beforehand
and always picked the reward that had the highest MB price
sometimes the differences between caster clothing and healer clothing would vary as much as 50k
handy tips, thanks!
first time player I usually tank in mmos what is the most useful class/job for raids
all of them
!faq meta
Game is balanced enough
There really is no bad class in this game, everyone can make a worthwhile contribution
You can play what interests you
If you want to play a tank right from lvl 1 though your choice is either Gladiator or Marauder
how to go there
ye ye
I played monk the most in wow so if there is a tank that has similar mechanics that would be cool
i teleport to the first thing
? Taha
Never played wow, if you can summarize it shortly I may be able to point you to the closest tank
@gilded summit No. Stagger is a very specific gimmick
Well none of the tanks in FF14 have the stagger mechanic
welp, nvm 😄
hm ty u yall are like super nice and helpful lmao
I think GNB would be the closest in terms of type, since GNB is more of an avoidance type tank.
Tanks in short are
Warrior -> Big hits and self heals
Paladin -> Straight forward, lots of mitigation, some magic dmg
Gunbreaker -> Plays somewhat like a dps, very fast
Dark Knight -> Has a big shield on a low cooldown and all the edge in the world
Still not quite the same as BrM, but as close as you can get here, I think.
🙂
Do note that you can't start as Gunbreaker or Dark Knight
you like pick them as questline at like lev40 or smth rightr
No
well you do pick them as a questline later, yes
DRK is available once you reach the first main city of the Heavensward expansion. GNB is available once you own Shadowbringers and have at least one other job at level 60.
point is you can have all the classes on one character here and can switch freely
so some are unlocked later
i need party 😦
Use the duty finder.
Can i get a drk ps4 hotbar set up?
@leaden ginkgo I'd recommend doing Hall of the Novice after this like the game recommends because it gives an xp boosting ring
That water pool north east of the village
dive there
@wintry chasm where is it?
Just speak to the NPC with the sprout in a house icon in front of you.
Tell them you want to undergo training.
No

^
oh
Yes. That's the physical location.
Either
You're not going up
Down is the pool
this?
Yes
Do the whole series of those @leaden ginkgo
the pool you need to dive into is here
You'll get a set of four left side gear pieces and a ring.
The gear will be as good as anything you can get from the first three dungeons.
@open coral they give good geaar
Yes
finish one
You'll get chest, hands, legs, and feet, as well as a ring for completing all of them.
@tender estuary hello how u get that overlay?
ffxiv discord?
So I just started Shb
Should I get sdf fenrir
I heard it makes exploring easier in Shb zones
The Fenrir is nice when you don't have flying, since it's automatically 1* mount speed.
It's not a requirement though.
Up to you if you want to drop the irl cash on that though.
You need to do your class quests.
Back at your guild.
You should be doing those every time they're available (every 5 levels).
They give you new abilities that you'll need.
Job quests > MSQ
I'll show you after this game 😄
If you don't do your job quests, you won't have 90% of your class kit.
@tender estuary sure ty
Which is crippling.
Job quests are MANDATORY
Always do your job quests.
They're higher priority than story
You can't use shield lob
Because you haven't done job quests
you absolutely, 100% have to do your job quests
You must.
otherwise you make the jobs of other players more difficult
You have 50 levells until you can even get samurai
So you're griefing people for 50 levels
When you get to level 30+ dungeons and you are still a gladiator... people will know
oh ok
Job quests are much much higher priority than story
Otherwise have fun not using any skills
At all
Honestly when your hp just vanishes in dungeons people will know.
How do i see my ping on a data server
Are job quests the exclamation mark with blue background and a '+' sign?
Do I have access to the fenrir mount speed even if I don't have mount speed unlocked in that zone
or it is called guild guests?
Not sure if this is the right place to talk about this but I've been playing this game for ~4months and just finished the SB story. I wanna reach end game to do newly released content but slowly losing motivation cause the game has been just solo for the most part. Many of the matchmaking instances are one and done and you never really get to connect. I know ShB is really good but it's starting to feel like a single player game. Any tips or suggestions?
Job quests do have the
marker, yes, but not all
are your job quests.
They're shown under the main scenario tracker
The story is Single player, final fantasy game first, mmo second
so how to differentiate between job quests and other quests with the same sign? Thanks!
One thing we often tell people is that this is a Final Fantasy game first, and an MMO second. Most of the matchmade content is going to be "one and done". That's just the nature of it. If you want to connect with people, I would recommend finding a good, social Free Company to join.
Wohoo! Caught up 🙂
They're shown under the main scenario tracker
Way of the Lancer is a job quest for example. Although a few other important quests (that are not job quests) will appear in that spot too
Job quests will (at least until level 30) only be from your class trainer in your guild.
ya I find them now, thanks a lot
It says excellent on connection does that mean its a good ping?
do healers autos matter?
not more or less than any other job
yeah i completely understand, my FC are all progressed and doing end game content. I found it hard to do meaningful content with them. All the suggestions have been to complete the MSQ, but it's be a long ride.
what matters is the gcd spell dmg
!faq checkping
- Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
- Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
- Press enter
PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/
so staying in melee range all the time isn't really of any influence?
I mean it's usually no harm
No but you should
But it's often better to be outside of potential cleave range
What are the numbers to the right of level, in the boxes?
To heal everyone
When I say a "social" FC, I mean one where the people in it are willing to do MSQ content with you. If your current FC is telling you to finish the MSQ before they'll play with you, you might want to look for a different one since you seem to want more of a social experience from the game.
The minimum character level required to enter that content.
Number of party finders there are for tuat
Autos only go off on casters when you're not channeling a cast
How many party finders are up
Oh, yeah
Honestly pointless
To the right
Since roulette pfs are garbage selling links
Oh it's PF, thanks
So for casters the benefit of staying melee is just to be near healers/buffs/mitigation
selling clears blahblahblah
Yeah I noticed there's just a message of selling stuff on some.
makes sense
how do I get my launcher to complete the version check ;-;
umm guys, why can't i open this coffer? https://prnt.sc/116lsiy
its the only i received tho
switch to another class and open it that way
didnt work
Fabled Belt of Casting
ty it was the belt
This will probably repeat at 70, you have been warned
So about data centers i was told crystal is more for rp, and aether was more serious gamers right?
Aether/primal are nothing really special

Thats me ^
Ok
Gilgamesh seems to be the most popular data center server
where do I see if I have an active subscription? I think they charged my steam account and I got no sub time
What's the deal with Tonberry
Is it filled with tryhards
I heard a lot of people mention it's filled with tryhards but idk
I need a jobs weapon to become that job, and I think I've lost my white mage staff or whatever (conjurer item?). Can I get a new one? Is it the Conjureres Guild in Old Gridania? I wanna start leveling White Mage
Can go to the Gridania market and talk to the arms vendor
Or really any arms vendor
Oh they sell them?
Yes
Just to make sure, it is the level 1 Conjurer whatever right?
how do i trust fflogs? do i look at the report or my profile itself? the report it said i got 47 and at the profile i got like 37~.
They sell at various levels but yeah level 1 included
My friend put a random birthdate in the trial and now he bought the full game.. now he is having problems because of it
what can he do?
If he needs to contact support he needs to contact support
Not sure what else to say?
Or start over on a new account if it hasn't been registered yet
Curious: If you change your name, does your EB partner’s ring (and old invitations) update to reflect the new one or will they always be the name at the time?
he will lose all the progress right?
Ye
rip
Yes, so try support first
I want to say yes?
Wonder if anyone has actually done that. Hm
iirc, fflogs shows varying figures betwen recent and historical - it should say
I think I lost the ring that gives me the 30% bonus exp. Any way to get that back?
And is there any other gear that helps with leveling?
Do that bit of hall of the novice again
It's the training people (Smith at the city inns) with the
icon
looking at the report, it'll compare logs that were uploaded within the last 2 weeks which is where your 47 came from. when you look at your profile, it'll show the historical numbers, comparing that to everyone's best log from when rankings opened. with less (skilled) people in general doing content, your parse inside the log is expected to be better than your historical
Question, if i pick a data center is the market linked to the other data servers that wre all in the one?
Like will adamatoise market be linked to other aether seerver cluster
but you can visit each world on a data center and buy stuff off their markets
Right
I could buy cheep and go to another server and sell higher???? Lol
No
Oh?
You could go to another server
buy cheap
sell on your server high
you can only sell on your home server
no selling on others
Woah
Intresting
Quick question about dungeon instances can i connect with other servers from primal and aether to find a match?
No
Ok

Is there a limit to how many people a area can load? Like will it make a second instance if there are over 100?
There is a hard limit to how many people can be in a single zone but we're unlikely to see it on most days. If the dev team believes there's a chance that a zone could realistically hit that limit, they'll add additional zone instances.
The game doesn't spontaneously generate additional instances.
Yeah if they have to do that, it'll come in a patch. It's not some active switch they can flip.
Like Eton said, those are something manually added (usually for a limited period of time) by the devs when they know that the servers are going to take a hit in a certain zone.
They started doing that after the absolute spectacular mess that was the solo instance "Raubahn Savage" in the Stormblood pre-release.
the one in ishgard?
No
It's the first solo instance of Stormblood, in Gyr Abania. It was coined that way because of the NPC you speak to.
But it caused a bottleneck for players trying to progress when the game decided it simply could not handle the sheer volume of players attempting to access it.
gnb release, the instance was also filled
Question about switching grand companies. Are there any penalties or is there a certain amount of time required before I can switch back?
I assume my squadron is only valid for my current company
No penalties, but you do start from the bottom again with your new company.
isnt the 1st solo instance in sb the one where our fren with the katana fought us?
No
That's like, the third or fourth.
Because that doesn't happen until after you've done the two introductory zones, which is after.
There is a 15 day cooldown before you can switch again. The only real penalty is you'll have to start from Private rank again. Your squad will follow you but you'll have to reach 2nd Lt again to access the Barracks.
do i need to keep the gear in my bag if i want to glamour or will it keep its appearance
No
Once the glamour is applied, you can do whatever you want with the gear.
You only need to keep it if you want to glamour other stuf
Simplier way is just toss into the dresser and make glamour plates
ah so its that kind of transmog system
Sort of. The figures are estimations at best and likely outdated.
please do not use ffxiv census. their metrics for active are absolutely trash
Can i dye my mount?
luckybancho is somewhat alright but none of the websites that track activity/population are going to be very accurate
they're basically guesswork using lodestone, the only people with accurate numbers are SE and they don't release those numbers
Company Chocobo, yes. All others no. Dyeing your bird requires a stable for your chocobo and a ton of fruit. This should help determine which fruits you need to change to the color you want. https://ffxivchocobo.com/en
more importantly server pop really isn't that important given that duty finder is cross server, you can visit other worlds to buy from. The main things that are still server based are free companies and housing
Oh i thought someone said duty finder wasnt like dungeons and such
Duty finder is how you queue for dungeons, trials, and raids
You can within your datacenter
Ok
I guess ill just stick to my current character
Since hes passed the main story
But select a new job i guess
That's the way to do it.
But id be missing out on those prefered server boosts...
Which aren't really a big deal.
Ok
Like, yes, they're nice to have, but they're not make or break.
What emote do I use here
As good as that buff is, starting over from scratch just for that bonus is not worth it. The normal armory bonus is good for secondary jobs.
As BLM, does everyone get a slightly delayed Firestarter proc like i do and just cancel Fire II midcast to use the proc?
/pray
Ah thanks
It's almost always going to be either /lookout or /pray
Fire, i mean
A question about the PF. What do the different colours here mean? I know what Duty Complete/Completion, etc mean, but it's just the colors throwing me off.
It's not a copy paste either.
Uh pray isn't working
Returners bounty?....
If you've tried both /lookout and /pray and they aren't working, just go through the entire list of emotes.
Be directly on top of the sightseeing log spot
Make sure you're on the log spot too, yeah.
You're next to it in the picture
the colors just correspond to the option you choose in your pf
loot is orange, duty completion blue
Yea
I see
I'll use all the emotes ig
Thank you!
If the chat log says "You have strayed too far from the vista" then you need to be closer to it.
It was rally!
most times i feel like i can respond to a firestarter proc showing up towards the end of my gcd, but you shouldn't cancel your cast to use it
If you look at your buffs rather than the floating text you might be able to react earlier as well
Gladiator = Paladin
Because it starts as gladiator
Ohhhh
it will turn into paladin once you advance the class to the job
Ok i gotta figure out how to unlock gladiator
Go to the Gladiator's guild in Ul'dah
how do i get general-purpose dyes?
Im at world map what zone is it in?
It's in Ul'dah
Ul'dah Steps of Thal specifically
general purpose dyes are from quick ventures @steep monolith
you have black mage at 64, the same city you started that one
Imdont remember alot of this game tbh lol
the desert city 😄
Interact with the aetheryte Oserium
How do i lvl up without story then? Just do dungeons?
Just checking have you attuned to all the aether shards
Gladiator guild has a fast travel thing
!faq altlvlguide
that command should really be expanded to add Bozja or something
It will when all the information regarding boxja is available
fair enough, it's not complete yet
bug Wynne about everything
so i stopped ffxiv a year ago. Bought a new laptop to start back.
Do i need to re-buy the game to play?
If you already own Shadowbringers you're good
(not like you need to own that to play)
true
aaah okay. thanks 🙂
Is it normal that im starting off a new job naked? Lolol
Yes because you don't have any gear they can wear
Can go buy your race starting gear or something if you threw it out
That's the NPC that sells it in Ul'dah
Hmm
Also is there a way so that i only have to click right click one and i dont have to hold it to turn my head?
I recall you can. I think it's under character settings > control?

I cant seem to find it heck
Legacy camera, I think?
not sure unfortunately
anyone know how to unlock 'memoria misera (Extreme)'
i looked up on google but it only say 1 quest which i know is not right pretty sure it's alot more but i cant seem to find an actual list of the stuff i have to do..
you need to do the shb relic questline
always look how to unlock the normal versions first
Unlock the relic quest first, and then go to the bluequest in grangos
the first quest is in kugane, and then just continue those quests
Memoria is unique in that there's no normal listing in duty finder
extreme/savage is always optional
The normal mode is a solo instance you do for the job relic quests
wait so do i need to complete the shb relic?
in shinryu ex we why we sometimes wipe in the add phase (the phase with the dragon adds and proximity markers)?
Start it.
well yes, but memoria is the way to get dyable level 80 artifact gear
only start ok
It's unlockable shortly after the first step
^
You're dropping all the proximity markers too close to each other snack
you have to do a solo instance and then you can unlock the ex version
okay thanks so pretty much i go talk to bozja in kugane ? XD
yeah, the npc should be in the markets iirc, look for a level 80 
Which needs the lv70 24mans done
mhm idk if i did that one
whbats the name of the lvl 70 24mans
yeah i didnt do it i only have rr unlocked F
Dramatis praetorian or whatever
It's in roughly the same place, just look for a different blue quest
Its in kugane as well
o ok
why is it that sometimes i still wipe in the tidal wave even with surecast/arm's length enabled?
Used it too late
it's on cooldown
you probs still used it too late
You used it too late
there is an animation before it actually activate
Used it too late doesn't mean you didn't use it
And missed the snapshot
You got snapshotted
It just means you didn't use it at the right time
well the weird part is that one of the times, i didn't get swept off the edge, but got one-shotted
by the tidal wave
what's the fastest way to farm moogle tomestones currently?
Blue mage aurum vale
Rival wings or aurum value with Blu Mages
do the rewards stay constant year to year with the moogle event?
then you just died shrug
The mouse settings have nithing related to my issue and i cant tell where its at in character cus idk what its called lol
why can't I put my chocobo in the stable? says I'm yet to be trained chocobo raising
but the quest is done
I already did that one quest for chocobos
The one which unlocks the combat companion?
did you do the quest "Bird in Hand"?
Ill ask later :>
you can't afaik
oh yeah didnt do that one yet, only did up to feisty chocobo
Should I worry about doing squadron stuff while I'm leveling up/going through msq? I'm just about to start Heavensward
if you want to rank up in your gc yeah
do the Stormblood EX trials have lower mount drop rates than HW ones?
No
Should I be worrying about that at this point?
hmm...
Maybe not on your main, it may be worth doing on alt jobs though since it's good to level with
it's just nice to have if you want it
Thank you
Is there anything I should be concerning myself with doing while doing msq?
blue quests
So i have to hold left click to look around allways? I cant let go ever?
and job quests
^
Heck
excellent
MOUNTS CAN FLY IN REGULAR AREA NOW WHAT?? 0.0
mounts can fly almost everywhere once you have unlocked it for that specific area
once you get the aether currents post-ARR zones
i can't cast a lvl 9 glamour on a lvl 6 item, right?
Correct
aight, ty
need to get to lvl 10 to finally glamour my set xd
which is pretty sweet because next quest is at 10
what's botanist?
A gatherer
huh, that sounds boring
If you dont want to be spending thousands and thousands of gil on crafters, gatherers are needed
Also there’s a bunch of material that you can’t obtain without a gatherer
hey all, I currently have a non-steam account with ARR+HW but I'd like to buy the complete edition on steam and switch over, can this be done or am I stuck with the non-steam version?
Am I correct in reading that Dia is a whopping 720 potency spell and way stronger than any other WHM spell?
Misery says hello
you would have to start over if you want to switch to steam
900 potency, hot damn.
Misery is aoe
ok thanks
are healer the only role that can have special interaction during MSQ cutscenes? Like offer healing in SB
i think so
Can a low level doh say lv 30 culinarian do coffee biscuits leves
If I get the biscuits from mb
Are there any resources that anybody knows of for e9s raid traing?
No
78
Damn it
Do we have a server population site or something
@steep monolith look into the raids section of saltedxiv.com

Is Aurum Vale the most efficient way to farm irregular tomes?
With blues yes
What if I don't have blue mage leveled yet?
hey can I level other jobs like I leveled BLU where I lure and someone kills?
Do RWs
Join as a tank. Still best with 3 BLU 1 tank I think
what happens to xp after reaching 80
Goes away
Some duties that usually offer xp offer something else instead then
Like tomestones or clusters for materia

which is the tallest race?
I use Nightbloom on my BLU, what other spells that are "big damage" don't share cooldown? I've not yet tried but don't all Primal spells share cooldown?
can you change the pose or is it default forever?
/cpose
Primal spells share a cooldown with 1 other spell each
Nightbloom shares with Both ends
Eruption shares with Feather rain
Glass dance shares with Veil of whorl
Etc
The primal spells blues typically take are
Eruption/feather rain, Shock strike/Mountain buster, Glass dance, Nightbloom, J-kick/Quaser, Suparaka, Phantom Flurry
Tingle and whistle stacks right?
Only gcds
I c
I c
Off guard is nice
Can I still get revelation from E9S-E11S if I've already cleared them for the week
Don't have libra :/
I just want that friar rush
When should you do a non crit final sting on gogo
20%?
Also song on torment has 50 potency per tick
Does bristle buff that potency
yes
And always should be bristled
if you have whistle, that will increase final sting's damage
more than bristle would
Did not know that
Because bristle is for magic
Whistle is for physical
Sting is physical
Which is why you can go whistle into Tingle
And whistle isn't consumed
What's the point keeping bristle
What magic gcds do blues even use except maybe sonic boom
Song of Torment alone is the reason
is there a quick way to drop items from your inventory to the GC provisioner guy?
Ahh
With whistle and tingle when should I use sting on gogo
At what hp
Don't think I'll have enough time for off guard
Off guard is off global
So you can whistle + swift > tingle + off guard > final sting
I was saving swift for sting 
It allows for no clipping
Also I don't see a lot of people sting in ACT 1
Why not?
aren't those for quests?
no?
how do people put those tags under their names
Those are titles
is that not on trial version
Doesn't final sting kill you
how do i put it?
Character page > second tab
Yeah but you can go to ACT 2 after using sting on ACT 1
what about for expert delivery?
You even get full mp
I see
oh ok thanks
expert delivery just spam 0 on keypad
I mean it did on a carnival quest
you can do this for anything that requires hand over lol
i can't get the same screen to show up
