okay thank you
yea i will lol
5.5x is expected to be the last patch of Shadowbringers.
The x being probably 5.56 or 5.58
Wanting to buy the maps from Moogle as well, can I see somewhere which I already have?
Scrolls was Ctrl + O, maybe maps is similar?
It won't let you finish buying ones you already have
I see, but there's no list I can check through?
I know I've opened it before but I can't recall. Thanks for the name tho. There were like, stars and stuff on there. Gonna check.
Found it. Travel -> Mount Speed
Basically all looks like this:
I assume I'm missing ALL the maps then?
As they only add the second speed, right?
Maps add the second star, yes
Cool, time to save up tomestones then!
I know it's just ground speed, and useless, but I want to have them all regardless.
It's roughly the same speed as flying, so it can take an extra step out while farming with bot and min. So it's not a complete waste
you should look into anima weapons
But given that you can just fly...
And flying is less restricted by terrain and pathway
if you have spare poetics, that’ll be a much better use for them ...
Also, not sure if I missed it, but the ARR zones need GC tokens like the ones from the hunt board
Anima Weapons? They aren't in here lol
Anima are the HW relic weapons
Btw, as for leveling. I know BLU is the big one for luring mobs and such, but other jobs can still be leveled this way to some extent, no? Do other jobs go to highest level areas or is it like BLU where 70+ doesn't give more exp?
blu gains a special amount of exp vs killing mobs
other jobs gain close to 0
blu gets like, 20068897
But it must be something at least?
it gets special treatment because it'll always be below the current expansion's level cap, and it's a limited job
Any good level 80 area with no distance hitting mobs?
Uhh
you'd be better lvling in dungeons
it’s literally nothing ...
Huh, just wanted to test it really.
So for acquiring spells as BLU do they tell u what mob has it?
If you open spellbook and hover over the ??? spells I think there's a hint?
It gives you locations, but not the specific mob
He was in ARR
not in the actual job with bow arrows and song sense
Ah
thancred plays music? thats news to me
Given how the leveling guide on reddit people link says to get a friend, I thought it worked to some extent, like maybe to level 30 then it's just crap exp.
but he writes song and sings and all that bard-dy stuff
ask a friend to tag killing for you is for that < lv 10 bit
Well, there's the job we have as a bard. Then there's the traditional sense

which idk, no one stays in that range for longer than 15 min
on a similar topic, can you get thancreds asymmetrical sword n dagger that he has in heavensward?
The scions’ weaps post arr arent obtainable
the twelves know how disappointed i was unable to get ysh’s staff
Alisaie’s RDM weapon is a recolor/reskin of the i240 tomestone weapon in Idyllshire
And IIRC Y’shtola’s SHB weapon is in the mogstation with her outfit.
Does Race/Clan matter for my class I choose?
I see each clan has different starting attributes
It's just purely appearance
Class does in terms of starting city
I'm between Highlander and Midlander
The starting stats basically become a obsolete at max level. Unless you're a hardcore min/maxer ~.^
Wait, I did that Novice thing but I didn't get the 30% EXP ring back
How exactly do I get that again?
Oh nvm, multiple stages.
do the normal critical engagements drop loathsome memories or is it just the CLL?
Quick question on airships -- a friend gave me a Bronco Sail for mine, but it won't let me add it. Is there something I'm overlooking?
I have FFXIV Free Trial version so if I buy FFXIV Complete Edition physical game. Redeem code but what if I don't want put disc in PS4 so able free trial change to full game without disc?
A reason I just want collection physical disc but I just want use code but I don't want use disc.
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
When I click checkout for PC download it still says "ship to"
will I get this to my house?
No. PC download gives you a code to use.
ok
The Ishgard Restoration project is complete, right? What happens to that content now, will it stay available indefinitely?
Blue outline = melee + tanks
Purple outline = ranged + healers
the instance will remain open
in fact, there's some new events coming with the new patch
thanks
Okay, so all the stuff like leveling there, getting achievements, moogle tickets etc will just stay around regardless
yep
not all achievements, but yes
it's permanent content. the only thing you missed out on were titles related to the "seasonal" rankings done at the start of phases 2/3/4
Aha, and those are limited to just a handful of people anyway.
yeah
Awesome, thanks.
12/100 people per class per server, respectively
times three
though a bit less than 36/300 since you could get the same title multiple times
(AKA me getting top 100 3 times just by going for the new stuff they add)
How to get the Amh Araeng orchestrion roll?
I need it
Probably bicolor gems
Both day theme and night theme are bought with Bicolor Gemstones from Halden in Amh Araeng
You'll need rank 3 in the zone to buy both, IIRC
Get to the fate farm
My paypal order got cancelled 3 times for some reason.. now it's not letting me use paypal. Is there a cooldown?
I just arrived in amh araeng and I already hear fates 
is there a way to look up who those 12 people are?
which 12 people?
Blu still op in sbh fates?
Probably only for the lower level fates
those who rank 1st to 12th in ishgard thing
Oof
go too high and you'll start missing your attacks
at some point, yeah
I personally don't expect BLU getting a cap of 80 until like early-mid EW patches
just fiddle with the settings and dropdowns to look at each season/server/job
I hope it gets a new cap
yeah the earliest I expect level 80 BLU is like patch 6.1 or 6.2
Is reset in 4 or 5 hours
!reset
0 Days, 4 Hours, 39 Minutes, 57 Seconds
0 Days, 9 Hours, 39 Minutes, 57 Seconds
4 Days, 21 Hours, 39 Minutes, 57 Seconds
0 Days, 21 Hours, 39 Minutes, 57 Seconds
2 Days, 15 Hours, 39 Minutes, 57 Seconds
2 Days, 9 Hours, 39 Minutes, 57 Seconds
2 Days, 2 Hours, 39 Minutes, 57 Seconds
3 Days, 22 Hours, 39 Minutes, 57 Seconds
4 Days, 14 Hours, 39 Minutes, 57 Seconds
thankyeh
no
6.0
o
jobs do not release on mid-expac patches
o
with 6.0 teaser stuff
Where can I find a gemstone merchant
I c
oh but the one is the crystarium is special
you need to grind 70(?) fates in each shb zone to unlock that
do you guys think to unlock the new nier, we need to complete 5.5?
The crystarium/Eulmore vendors unlock after getting each zone to rank 3, and basically act as all 6 vendors plus some extras
5.5 story? extremely unlikely
yeah 5.5 story
All of YorHa story is on the first, so at worst you'd likely only need 5.3
unless some dimension crossing stuff happens
How do I rank up in zones
but so far YorHa only requires completing the leveling story.
Complete fates in that zone and get a gold ranking
Where do I check my rank
Travel > Shared FATEs
I don't think so, if you mean the music that plays during a fate
Actually, the FATE music orchestrion roll (Engage) is available from voyages
wait, not Engage
but it's definitely available
Only if I knew what's it called 
Hard To Miss, that's the name
Ohh thanks :)
(Engage is Diadem)
Aye it's cheap
I'm not buying anything related to diadem
Except cosmetics
Uh hard to miss wasn't the amh areng fate music 
Afaik all fates but achievement fates use hard to miss. You sure you didn't catch an achievement fate by accident?
and not 100% on achie fates having their own music
or you mean the general AA battle music, which is Rencounter (idk which version is AA, Rencounter has five versions)

do all food give 3% exp?
For the Law Order relic weapon stage, I don't see any new quest in Gangos, do I lack main scenario ? I'm puzzled by what's on wiki, on one page it says I need to do Delubrum Reginae (so patch 5.45, when I'm only finishing 5.3) but on the other page it says I need to finish the last quest of 5.1
Delubrum Reginae only requires patch 5.1 MSQ to unlock
Yes, and it's written on them
It's part of the bozja story and is unlocked after completing Castrum Lacus Litore at least once
That's your next goal then, reach rank 10 in BSF and complete the Castrum
ranks aren't too hard to get, as the mettle you get from skirmishes and CEs scale with your rank.
As long as you make sure to rank up ASAP each rank takes around the same relative time for up to rank 10
I should have done this during the previous steps instead of doing fates/dungeons
I feel dumb
well, time to level up my ast then
Anyone knows the battle music in amh araeng
Like every time I aggro a monster it plays
That's Rencounter then, as the general overworld battle theme for SHB zones
instance might be closed, check the player search menu and see if people have recently joined
like if their time left is in the 170's
how is anima going to be in xiv? do things like this get used as just easter egg style references or is spira's anima literally in the world of the game?
if not then you'll need to leave the instance and rejoin to get in a new one.
Anima will be a trial fight in the story.
That's all we know
Anything past that is pure speculation in terms of how she fits in the story
has that happened to other bosses?
I mean the "weapons" in ShB are based design wise on the ff7 weapons
like shiva is in ffx also
The ARR primals, besides mog, are all classics from the series as a whole
But the weapons have in universe origins
ok makes sense
I'd love a sin battle
As for anima we only know we're getting something based on him and with the same designer
Well technically ||her||
like not even a single CE also
most of them are in 170s
did you leave and join a new instance?
no
then do that
silly question, but you're rank 10, right? The Critical Engagement window and maybe map don't show skirmishes and CEs in the sections you can't reach yet.
ah I didn't think of that
also you need to do quests to get castrum unlocked when you get to rank 10

yes, 11
all this shit for just 5 loathsome memories
could have just done
normal raids
again, have you done the quests? do you have the third area unlocked?
Hi, so I tried logging in and I get this error. I already paid my sub a week ago, does anyone know whats going on?
How does this part of the mogstation look for you?
take a screenshot of just the stuff in this image and put it here
here
Are you launching the game on steam or through the native launcher?
native launcher. I dont have ff14 on steam
Your account is a Steam version of the PC license
You can tell by the "Standard (Steam)" at the top of your image.
but I beene playing earlier without opening steam?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
oh wait I bought the collector's edition earlier, does that have to do with this too?
are the maps from irregular tomestone useless if youve unlocked flying already?
yes
yeah they're basically pointless to buy
since flying in general is easy to unlock
ayt sad for a moment i thought i could boost flying and go zoooom across
yeah those maps are only for ground speed
an hour or so after the timer concludes
wht's the castrum timer? 60mins?
the timer of the actual mini-instance
you can see the time left by hovering over the castle fate icon on the map
and through the critical engagement window
that timer has to be gone for the 1 hour respawn timer to start
They are reducing the Castrum timer in 5.5 I believe
even with all the waiting 3 times CLL should still be faster than 15 times crystal tower... I think
"make it more accessible"
best case scenario is that CLL becomes something like DR where you just queue into it directly at any time
At least you can cluster farm for other memories while you wait
worst case is respawn timer reduction
apparently:
- CLL will spawn an hour after a new instance is created
- then 90 minutes after each entry into castrum
I'd expect condition #2 to have some variation
That would be an even longer wait than the current timer
that's the current timer (I'd expect it to be buffed later)
so worst case scenario, it doesn't pop until you've been in bozja for about an hour+
sucks when it pops as you come in and you can't join 
I'm pretty sure it's 60 minutes, not 90 minutes
If I'm on Phoenix and a friend of mine is on Odin, can I add them to my friend's list and play with them or do we need to be on the same server?
you can add them to your friends list if you're from the same DC
but you have to do it face-to-face afaik
oh, does that mean I can go meet them in the world or in a city as long as we're in the same DC?
you can world visit and play together, yeah
yeah
instanced content like dungeons always is cross DC anyway
so you can jump across to odin (via the aetheryte in Limsa, Gridania or Ul'dah) and party up with them
I'm not entirely sure but that's what I've heard. happy to be corrected though.
I think it's either 60 after it finishes or 90 after it starts
Which is approximately the same amount of time
I'm pretty sure because that's aproximately how long I waited in the same instance after doing it once
yeah, if CLL takes about 25-30 mins, it (roughly) lines up with what I said:
- then 90 minutes after each entry into castrum
ohhhh now I get what you mean
yeah, I's 60 minutes after it finishes
so plus how long it takes
Yeah, I just mean to say that's probably the reason for confusion.
it was 😄
So I’m new. level 25. does the MSQ lead to getting a mount or should I be looking up how to start a quest line?
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Tldr: it opens after joining a grand company at lv20 stort
Shows under the main scenario tracker
Do everything that shows under the main scenario tracker
Cool, thanks!
Could someone give me a quick breakdown of the shb relic steps so far? Or just link a guide or stuff
Want to know what I'm getting myself into
When someone says "You can buy the mount from WoL" what do they mean?
context?
1st step: Story Instance for first weapon, 1000 poetics for extra weapons (4 Thavnairian Scalepowder).
2nd step: total of 60 HW fates spread out through the zones or farming the 3 sections of the Bozjan Southern Front.
3rd step: 6 level 60 dungeons synced/leveling roulettes, or more grinding in the Bozjan Southern Front
4th step: 15 ARR 24-mans or CE farming in BSF or 3 Castrum Lacus Litores
5th step:** only done once.** 18 HW and 18 SB 24-man raids and/or farming SB FATEs.
6th step: 15 Delubrum Reginaes or farming POTD
For reference, they way it's used in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/mmn0zi/patch_55death_unto_dawn_special_site_update/gtsfkw7/
That seems very doable, thank you very much.
Champions from beyond the rift, my girlfriend is finishing Shadowbringers and waiting on the Hades trial queue for almost an hour, anyone could help? (EU-Light data center, need 1 healer 2 tanks atm)
are you caught up in the story? if not then don't worry about it
I am
After obtaining all 7 Gwibers from the SHB Extreme Trials, you can do a quest to get the mech one
ah, they mean you can buy the SoSex mount for 99 totems
oh yeah that
Where do people find that out from Wynne?
It generally stays the same between expacs, is why
it'll be in the patch notes
So how do you already know
because of previous expansion trends
oh that's how they've done it before?
everything releases on a pattern, yeah
and they already stated as such for this one, just not what NPC we might get it from
they did?
this time it's a bigger mystery since the extremes are split between the First and the Source
When did they say that stuff?
oh so it wasn't like in any of the bullet points then
you had to read the translation
Most likely and extremely dumb question but this means that i don't have those dlc's right? it says buy under playstation and x box and stuff so i'm a bit confused ( I play on pc)
it's just an as-given due to how it's always worked
it means you do have those
oh owo nice so i have shadow bringers and all those dlc's?
dang
on windows, specifically
i don't remember purchasing them though owo
or i think i have or not but awesome lmfao
Emu I still have you blocked because you're an awful person so just stop responding
it's a public chat, people can respond if they wish

probably not the right place to talk about this
Be civil.
if you have an issue with someone, just ignore them.
^
unless you're a mod you can't tell other users how they can and cannot engage here.
If you're going to block someone, don't complain about them when they talk.
^ that too.
hello, sorry to disturb, just want a clarification, can you transfer characters between data centers?
yes you can't really stop someone from talking lol dm's are different from a server anyone is allowed to use
Yes, you can.
no
wait oyu can
You can. Server transfer allows it.
ah dang, all this time i remade my EU character on na thinking i couldn't transfer
is the transfer complicated?
Not especially.
You pay for the server transfer. Pick the server you want. Then you wait.
it can sometimes be a bit annoying to find the minor issues that might block the transfer
^
like your retainer having items for sale
Leave fc, take all your shit off the market, pay 5 bucks. Take a 20 minute nap and profit
Usually
At least there isn't a gil cap anymore.
not my problem boss, block me or don't. as I said however, the mount will likely become available next patch based on previous trends of ex mounts becoming purchasable
Shit can ofc go wrong but it's easy enough
wait is it just 5 bucks?
$18.
"My money" is one of the reasons that I have at least one character on all but three datacenters.
I'm too cheap to pay for a server transfer. 😄
Mm. I'm holding out for data center visiting
yeaaaah i might as well stick with this character
Assuming it isn't going to be the epitome of useless
it's almost level 30 anyway
If you hurry, you can make it back to level 30 on another character in no time
Yeah, deciding whether to transfer servers or not can have a lot to do with how invested you are into the character you're playing. If you're still in ARR, it tends to be easier to just start over.
A lot of the beginning of the game on your first character is reading and getting lost
I recently cleared 2.0-2.55 in about 30 hours of played time, so it's really not that bad.
Skipping dialogues and cutscenes, of course.

thanks guys, think i'll stay with this character and not bother spending $18 for a transfer xDDD
How often is Cover used on pld?
almost never outside of savage content
generally never
It's pretty damn niche
it has no inherent mitigation of it's own
i'm only a returing player after i used the free 12 day trial or so my only fear is the game dying after a year or so lol i know it's a big game and all but it's a bit scary investing your money if it won't last long
you can use it as a panic button to save someone if they messed up
We have an expansion coming in Fall and there's been no signs of the game slowing down besides a small hiccup due to adjusting to COVID
They said they have another 10 years worth of content in the making, 5 of whicb is already planned out
ahh makes sense that's perfect owo

I mean once you finish your level 10job quest you can be almost any job
there's a video in the pins that might help with that
Aside from jobs with higher level requirements for obvious reasons
ouuu thank you :P
And from expansionsyou don't have
it's a bit meme-y but still informative
Will there be cross data center travel in the future
Yes
yes, with the next expansion
Its planned for 6.0
But we don't know what restrictions there will be in place
I wonder how that'll effect the market board
We know it's coming
my only wish is that dark knight was a dps class but it's a tank and i have never played tank in any mmo lol
I've a feeling it'll be hard to sell stuff but let's see
Most people tend to agree that tanking may actually be the easiest role in the game, at least how it is right now
why cant my party member enter the diadem? it says he does not meet the requirements
It's only hard if you get into super endgame content
Is he a gatherer?
Also I think you just enter solo anyways
a fisher
Have they done the starting quests in Firmament where they explain how it all works which you have to do before you can Diadem?
yep he has
oh yeah do you have to invest into crafting skills at all or can i skip them if i want to? I've played eso before and like ik you'd want to level your crafting and unlock traits which takes ages lol
You don't have to get into it, no
Crafting doesn't really have an impact to stuff like combat and stuff so yeah you can pass if you want
It is extremely useful as it can make you a ton of gil and save gil at the same time
perfect
But not required in any way
I will say though that this game probably has the most interesting crafting system I've seen so far
Crafting is the best way to make gil
where the jobs actually feel like distinct classes
But it can be ignored entirely
is leveling crafting a pain and long and boring, or is it like somewhat enjoyable and fun?
in eso you have to either craft a shit load of gear or deconstruct gear that has been dropped or other player crafted gear
It sort of depends on whether you like that sort of thing
to level it
Crafting in general I find fun, they also made it super easy to level in this expansion by giving massive xp buffs and stuff
noice
tbh it feels a little too fast that people don't really uh, learn anything while doing it
Especially with ishgard restoration
welp thanks for the help i have to go now i'm gonna buy the subscription later today :P
Level a while crafter in a day or two
I'd say that it is much easier to level up crafters/gatherers if you wait until you've hit max level on a combat class, BUT if you enjoy crafting/gathering, it is not a flat-out mistake to level them as you go along
Mind you due to the amount of crafters and stuff it'll still take a while but compared to a normal job leveling crafters is really fast
It takes a bit of time, but the investment is definitely worth it
Makr sure to fetch a RAF code!
raf code?
ohh okies it can still be used even if i bought the game / used the free trial sub?
You have until you buy your first month of sub
to get shb hunts you have to unlock all previous hunts ?
ohh nice
So now that I'm somewhat catch up, can I do hunts without going to the board and still get nuts
so yeah i could most likely use it
Also can I level gathering in a day
how do i unlock shb hunts
Yes
ARR hunts are unlocked when you reach the rank of 2nd Lieutenant.
ty, never did them b4 and need xp
for For Want of a Memory where do I put my resistance weapon?
And HW hunts require ARR hunts
What damage type is Circle of Scorn and Spirits Within?
Physical
An attack is magical if it specifies an element or says “unaspected”
Armoury and inventory
can it be equipped?
If that’s for upgrading to the next step, no.
Yeah, you need to unequip it to complete the quest
However you must still be a gunbreaker, so you need a backup weapon to wield while you do the turn-in.
^
how am I meant to gather the memories?
Read the description
They tell you
It claims they drop as the southern front, but they arent dropping
Its rng from mobs
Did you read the rest?
in the southern front it's random while from the HW fates it is guaranteed if you get a gold rating
so most people do HW fates
Is there an option to turn off these numbers beside the hotbars
Character config > hotbars > hide hotbar numbers or whatever its called
Thanks
is there an online page to compare prices of stuff on mb?
What about the lock?
only way to 'hide' the lock is to put it behind another ui element
No
k thx

This data comes from Universalis which gathers its data from people who have ACT running and access the markets to look at that item

Am I missing a ground targeted aoe?
- Sacred Soil
- Earthly Star
- Asylum
- Salted Earth
3pm server time if you have that visible
Healer bubbles + soil
Place pet
That too i guess
Caster lb
I macro pet placement differently, and I don't macro LB. So not missing any, ty!
Anything that might show up in 6.0
(Due to an unfortunate glitch, I lost all my macros)
🇫
(and hotbars. And character settings. And my entire HUD.)
Backup your character configs from the character login in the future
Will do, sadly it's once per day only
I macro Shukuchi to <t>
Lotta people macro shuku
2 binds, one for macro one for not
Do old expac extremes have higher drop rates for mounts?
If there's no target shukuchi acts like normal
The devs do buff the drop rate, according to the patches? No definitely confirmed numbers, though.
I'll always be an advocate to not macro it. Learn to pre position the mouse
What do trials do again?
They're just a single boss fight
Any good rewards or nah?
oh
Getting more gets redundant
how to i get gear while leveling?
Saw a guide where they said crit/Det set is half a percent better than sps/det
What do you even get for clearing Delubrum savage?
Cerberus mount
Items to augment law order gear
Guaranteed minion at the end
Which is tradeable
Where does the law order gear come from?
Lorewise, why are summoners ||able to summon Phoenix and Bahamut? Is it assumed the WoL ran through the coils, even if they didn't? Are summons entirely unrelated to primals?||
||They don't summon the same entities, they channel their aether into something called egis||
||How would they know what shape their aether has to take if they have never encountered phoenix nor bahamut?||
¯_(ツ)_/¯
both of their aether doused the land
For ||Bahamut, its the constant tapping into the Dreadwyrm trance allows the Summoner to channel their aether||
The 60/70 job quests go over it
Well the 50-60 quest series
that's all you need to be able to summon egis/demi. its having "bathed" in the aether (which is why the garuda/titan/ifrit fights are required for smn quests)
I'm gonna be real is this worth playing
Phoenix is never really explained iirc because at that point there are no more job quests
One solo instance is all about DWT
heck yeah
phoenix is essentially the same reason as baha
I see, so it is assumed that their aether is just... "around" because of how prominent they are.
makes you wonder if they will get any new summon for EW though
i mean...their aether is around because of 7th calamity
Well not the prominence of them, their aether is literally in the earth so to speak
Alright, I see. I've my answers, thank you all
are there any quickly accessible 2 person mounts?
there's one on mogstation I think
Mogstation, refer a friend
marriage chocobo
alright thanks
I once again come to you for help, is there a way to change from hotbar 1 to 2 and bind this to alt ?
keeping alt pressed fucks with my brain
are FCs cross server? can people join an FC from another server if its in the same data centre ?
ah that's a shame D: thanks
what about hotbar scrolling?

Is the next patch going to be the final step of resistance weapons? assuming yes
No.
Final step will be 5.55
Soooo in about two patches, if you count 5.51 and 5.55 as seperate ones
ohhh yeah sorry meant 5.55!!
Is there any way to increase glamour dresser?
hi everyone
i just started playing today
and wonder what starter class i should pick
that goes well with samurai
are there any instances where the V keybind is particularly useful? (look backward) like for mechanics and etc?
i heard this game is very balanced
@raven haven its one of the best right now in terms of damage
but every job is viable
it's the best melee dps right now
Samurai is black mage of melee
nah i'd unbind it for a hotbar ability
also hi other locke
hey locke
thank you so much!
Damage is samurai utility 😂
yeah damage utility is overrated
neat, i haven't used it at all so far so was thinking of getting rid of it
!faq meta
samurais are the best in terms of raid damage because of the sheer amount of damage they do
How long does it take to do ARR beast tribes if you do it everyday ?
i have nowhere enough fingers for the amount of skills aaa
Yeah sometimes its difficult. Especially using shift + skills or that other stuff
I just use controller
2 buttons for 1 action is tough but its the only way it seems
are there any combat skills that never ever ever get used?
Especially combining ogcd
like undraw
@manic flare i guess its for battles within quests for some reason
unless undraw gets used for some reason
Astrologian? Don't have much knowledge. Considering I never play it due to it being complicated imo
for any class
you use pretty much everything on it
i just used undraw as an example cause
Aint scathe one for BLM
i cant think of when itd be used ig
Or Psyxic for rdm
i honestly can't think of a reason why you'd undraw either
rdm vercure is nice actually, at least in solo content
at level 50 if oyu get a card you don't want or a card that'd mess up your seals you could just minor arcana it
not like smn physick which is useless because it doesn't scale
Of course ideally you do not need to heal on rdm, same for pld
Still, it's nice to have it I guess
Fluid aura, undraw, smn physick and shield bash are basically the only real basically never used skilla
i always assumed those were soloing skills
cause seems like rdm is advertised as a jack of all trades type
I mean yes and no? If those are soloing skills it begs the question why not every job has them
But yes, they are primarily used in solo content
Physick scales on wisdom. You don't get wisdom from any of your gear
Yeah it's only remotely useful in super low level fates
also you mean mind
if I'm half-way through the ARR MSQ and I start a Samurai job can I continue the ARR MSQ and still gain exp with a lvl 50 Samurai?
Yes
Sure
cool ty
which melee dps is fun?
subjective
all of them, depending on your taste
Subjective
I'd go with the aesthetic you like first over utility
What tastes better salt or sugar?
All the jobs are competitive fortunately
When half of samurai is robes
Like positionals? Go Monk.
Like big hit dps? Go Samurai.
Like jumpy skills? Go Dragoon.
Like fast burst phases? Go Ninja.
salt
Yes
they all do
I usually associate salt with weebs so go play sam
Monk just has the most
nvm
Dont u hate it when the tank keeps moving the boss 
Hell were getting a new melee dps in 6.0
i will just wait for ew
We just don't know what it is yet
Monk has the most conditional positionals
sure its melee dps? not magic dps?
Confirmed melee
its a melee confirmed
yes we are certain its melee
They flat said it
It's been confirmed in interviews
it was confirmed at the announcement stream
Sadge, i wanted another magician
Unless it's melee but deals magic dmg. Bamboozled
Dont we all
PLD would like a word
But they also said it'll use maiming gear
is beastmaster be similar to a summoner?
Melee dps confirmed, sharing gear with DRG
so nvm I guess
There is no beastmaster
There is not a beastmaster class.
beastmaster is just one of the guesses people make about the new EW job
what if the next job will be a beastmaster
but it's not confirmed
it's probably not
maiming is what? DRG?
I doubt a beast master would be melee
yea
As a whip would be my first association
How Can i do this heart emote?
why not?
Buy the /dote emote off Mogstation
mogstation, /dote
You don't do shit if you don't exist
or a scratch
is this a question
We don't have beastmaster, and we probably won't since they weren't super big fans of implementing it, iirc.
And they mentioned it would probably be a limited job
And you want another pet job with THIS shitty pet ai? 
it's best if it's not a pet job
what class should i play since i’m planning on switching to samurai once i’m level 50
i mean SMN still has it's moments where shit doesn't go off
before getting sumaria^
whichever you want
You really have to stop maining smn for your mental health
Does anyone have one of those meme diagrams on what class to play?
!faq meta
Just play whatever job you want
But I love the pain
Where do you buy your glamour prisms cheap ?
If you want to try something new do that
ohh okies thanks :P
if you want a similar playstyle try Dragoon or Monk (or Ninja but you can't start as Ninja even if it is technically a lvl 1 job)
machinist is also unlocked at 50 right?
yes
yep
Well yes but actually no
also needs ARR story completion
ohh okies
which means you will likely be above 50 by then
its unlocked when you get to heavensward
MCH starts at 30, but requires 50 to unlock (and to get to the first city in heavensward)
i want them to do something with bard :( i dunno what exactly but something
you don't get it by just being 50
It's "unlocked" when you finish arr patchgc content as you get it in the hw city
does mch also have rng skills?
No
not really anymore, no
Good news, they will do something with every job for EW
At least not now
mch has 0 rng as of now... afaik
technically you could buy a job skip for it but most people wouldn't recommend that
Do glamour prisms stack 99+ ?
dnc is super pretty but super frustrating as well
jobs skips basically waste the money you spent on the base game lul while wasting money on the skip also
You also skip the learning process
Iirc allagan pieces stack to 99 but they're the only thing I know that does
is the pure white dye and the general purpose white dye the same color?
Color is the same, difference is the tradeability, that's it.
ah okay thank you
if i wanna play samurai
should i go for seekers of the sun
or keeping of the moon
both are fine
ok :)
race has absolutely no impact on performance
just go with whatever you think looks cool

Any way to turn on "the clock" in chat? So I can see the time somethnig happened or was said?
like for chat?
What's this yellow symbol on top of the FATE? I havent encountered that before
Character config > chat > second tab
Double xp
thanks
Stormblood improved fates slightly by adding double xp fates and forlorn maids, which rarely spawn and give yoy double xp on the next fate in the zone, which stacks with the innate double xp
if my retainer is a combat class, what ventures should I be putting them on? exploration or hunting?
i believe its quick for exp if you can do it over and over
field for if you're logging off
depends what you need or want
the point of hunting ventures is so you can farm shit that you want, i.e skins or whatever
if you have nothing you want then you may as well run quick explo for chance at dyes
and pets
Can you buy a certain number of items from the market instead of a whole stack?
psure quicks dont give minions anymore
Hey guys, I am new to this game what is a good class to start with?
Any
there isn't a meta or anything
Pick what job you like the look of
and if you want to see how they play at later levels
https://youtu.be/k_vH-1WZQ3A this video is good albeit memey
If this vid helped you pick a job lemme know, I wanna judge you on your choice :)

No
You can buy a stack of what they are selling and then try to resell what you don't want though
oh ok
you have to sell higher to not be a net loss btw
Yeah due to taxes but not like those taxes actually really cost anything
are you able to parse old fights if you disable echo/enable item level sync
and actually get scored with a number
like getting raider.io score for old raids essentially or does it not work like that
Can you get The Griffin's armor to drop? or is it custom for NPC only

isn't this all because when people did the raids in their time periods certain balancing was enabled
will 5.5 make the current tier unable to be scored?
and debloat didn't exist?
@stuck ingot it wont. but if they add echo or there's class nerfs or something they might split the logs
pre 5.5 and post 5.5
understandable
is there such thing as resistance armor?
how does one obtain such armor?
They're 495 and 510 respectively
For the the first set you need to run Castrum, for the second one you need to run Delubrum
both drop currencies you then exchange for pieces of the set
one run of castrum will get you the full set of a class for the first set
if you loot all the chest
do I need to progress in the bozja to do castrum
Which requires people saving all the prisoners
which is not that hard but people be people
ya you do @wispy peak
got it thanks
Well, technically you don't need to run Castrum for the first set of armor, you can do it with coins.
You do
You need to run it once
Clearing castrum and the quest lets the coins to drop
Hi all. Finally dinged 80 and just beat the main SB questline. Now mostly interested in gear (stats not glamour), dungeon runs, and PvP. Any advice on important things to unlock or focus on at this point?
So you have to do it at least onxe
and castrum kinda is the most efficient way to get them
but fair, you don't need to do it
Castrum gives 50 now
castrum gave a total of 100 if all objectives are done
Ohh it absolutely is the most efficient way, yeah, grinding out the coins via pure Skirms/CE's would be ... challenging.
If you want to upgrade your gear you will want to get into savage raids
the questline for that starts in the Crystarium
Tarik - Start with the Eden Raids, normal will get you some upgrades, Savage is the current top tier, I'd also suggest the Nier Alliance Raids. The latter questline starts in Kholusia.
what're the epic orbs around them...?
Also keep going with the MSQ you'll unlock more dungeons and those will have some upgrades as well. The raids will have more/better stuff, but the dungeon can supplmenet.
@onyx anchor they're in stealth
It just means they are using the stealth action
I wish I could turn those orbs off :(
Noted, thanks!
stealth action?
Was worried I'd be undergeared for it, but OK then
thank you
gatherers can stealth so they dont get destroyed by hostile mobs
If you are undergeared you won't be able to enter
The gathering classes have Stealth so you can gather in relative peace when you're in a leval appropriate area or lower.
most stuff has minimum ilvl
oh cool
Every gatherer always has those orbs around them, if you so much as cross a zoneline the orbs are turned on automatically.
Ah ok, cool then, thank you
so, wait, is it like Rogue's Hide but you can interact with stuff?
kind of? mobs up to a certain level just ignore you
it's relative to your own level
Its stealth that ACTUALLY works
yeah, getting too close doesnt cancel the effect
that's what Hide does too, up to 10 levels iirc
just cancels upon initiating combat/interacting I think
Honestly, I wouldn't know
Like most people I only use hide to reset mudra charges 😄
The augmented scaevan gear and plain scaevan gear where is the plain gear? can u not get it anymore ?
No
I just want to pair my augmented ring with something else because you can't equip 2 augmented rings
of the same name
You can
Yo can't equip two UNIQUE rings
They're not unique anymore
So you can wear two augmented scaevan
How do i know whats UNIQUE ?
The icons you mean in the top right corner ?
No
No it will say actual word Unique. Lemme get you a screenie
It literally says the word UNIQUE
The poetics rings were made dual equippable in a minor patch after they removed the unaugmented versions.
TIL
did not notice that...
Because people, myself included, were like "Uhh... you're taking away the unagumented and normally we wear one augmented, one unaugmented for best ilvl (for people who don't do Extremes/Savages)
Not that recent.
It was a minor patch update, not a major one that made them no longer unique
Well recent in terms of patch numberd
This is why..... i got confused i remember i coudnt equip 2 rings that i bought with poetics
They were still unique when the change went live in... 5.3? But then a few weeks later they were updated.
I remember that too, and had the same question yesterday. This answers that!
wow so much better, this info is huge
Yeah, it's very useful.
???
You can sort your retainer order
But if you mean retainer inventory sort it uses the same sort as your own inventory
is it better to dye the glamour item itself instead of dying the equipment im wearing?
If i glamour a dyed item does the dye also glamour over?
Yes
oh okay thank you
Hey I'm having this weird problem where the cutscene voice acting gets cut off towards the end of every block of dialog. Is there a setting I can change or is that something most likely on my end?
auto advance never cuts voices though
It's not meant to anyway, guess you could test it though
It's turned off. Hmmm
I feel dumb but could someone explain how ping affects rotations and oGCDs and such?
Higher ping artificially extends the animation lock on singles, as it takes longer for the client to tell/receive the confirmation that things have gone out and been done
Which makes double weaving harder
Ah okay. I had assumed the animations were on my end. Second question: what exactly is double weaving?
using 2 ogcd abilities between gcd skills
using 2 ogcds
!faq weaving
that does say Gunblade right? i'm not reading it wrong?
Yeah
