forest lark

Looks like I qccidently got rid of augmented resistance staff, how do i get it back so I can proceed with next resistance quest to make it into law

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh i was like man ive done 6 now

worthy venture
#

I was lookin to see if I was able to unlock Astro, I'm not sure if I'm far in the quest line to do so, can someone fact check for me if I'm right or wrong? :X

faint flare
#

You have access to ishgard

#

So

#

You can get it

worthy venture
#

Weird, cause it wasn't letting me TP to Ishgard

faint flare
#

You didn't attune

worthy venture
#

Oh lawd

warped nest
#

Did you attune?

faint flare
#

You forgot to

worthy venture
#

I thought I did ;_;

warped nest
#

Top "floor" of Ishgard, east side, have fun

worthy venture
#

Hmm how would I run there if I don't have the TPs? All of this is beyond my memory

warm snow
#

Coerthas central

boreal storm
#

warp to whatever is nearest

warm snow
#

Then go west to the bridge

worthy venture
#

Makes sense because I'm in the middle of buttfuck Coerthas right now

#

Ok lemme head to central

warped nest
#

Or just walk into ishgard

dry mulch
#

I’m a BLM and I learned about LBing about a hour ago.

When is a good time for my class to use it? Or is there a wiki I can read on stuff that pertains to it.

warped nest
#

From dragon head camp

faint flare
#

Casters should ideally use it in large trash pulls

warped nest
#

In dungeon, you can do it on large group of mobs

worthy venture
#

Back when Dragon Head was poppin with people wanting to do the Fates for the dragon...memories

faint flare
#

As its a gain on 2+ targets

dry mulch
#

Okay thanks

warped nest
#

In trials or raid, you probably don't use LB3

faint flare
#

Unless there's a specific mechanic and people are using it for a strat

#

Or the dumb melees forget and the boss is like 2% so yolo

warm snow
#

There's gonna be a lot of lb3 in trial roulette for the next week...

royal basin
#

How long away is this emergency update?

warm snow
#

3 hours ish

faint flare
#

Lodestone says 3 hours

warm snow
#

Maybe 4

#

They said 5am gmt iirc

faint flare
#

Always read the Lodestone

#

Ahhh okay, thank you for the tip! Have fun 👍

heavenswhere is also very good for treasuremaps

leaden ginkgo
#

For levels 50-60 (DPS) running PoTD is the most optimal way of leveling?

jade quartz
#

If you have long regular dungeon queues and short PotD queues then yes

#

Still do daily roulettes first of course

leaden ginkgo
#

Sure. Any specific floors?

twilit arch
#

51-60

wintry chasm
#

^ there is a checkpoint at floor 50

leaden ginkgo

Thanks

#

Sorry for the past 5 minutes I am trying to navigate on how to use the resource. I just want a link to the hunt discord if its there?

#

thank you

trail sandal
#

Can Byakko manes come from desynth?

coral sequoia
#

So I went to the Firmament area but it was an info dump .. where are / how do I participate in fetes?

twilit arch
#

upper left hand corner (or wherever your duty list info is) indicates when the next fete is going to happen

#

they'll be in the firmament itself, you need to be a dol/doh

coral sequoia
#

hmm Duty list? Do you mean duty finder?

twilit arch
#

The HUD element that shows all of your quests

#

its called the duty list in the HUD layout, since it also has instance information displayed when you'r in an instance

coral sequoia
#

ah, it doesn't show anything except the quests I was on, maybe I missed something

twilit arch
#

Are you inside of the firmament right now?

coral sequoia
#

Ya

boreal storm
#

Fetes start in an hour i believe

coral sequoia
#

but I realize there is a blue quest that I didn't do after

twilit arch
coral sequoia
#

ah definitely don't have that yet

#

Does it matter what level my gathering job is? I've got a lvl 75 miner, but if that isn't enough I can use my 80 BTN, but figured this might give some gather exp

obsidian patio
#

Not known for sure

coral sequoia
#

So this is soemthing new with 5.5? I came back like day before 5.5 and haven't really played since like 5.0

twilit arch
#

pretty sure lvl doesn't matter

obsidian patio
#

Yeah these fetes are new things

fading aurora
#

How long do server xp boosts last?

coral sequoia
#

There we go, now it shows me the fete timer, there was another quest I could do that I missed

honest anvil
#

How long do server xp boosts last?
@fading aurora server’s preferred status stays until at least next major patch iirc

twilit arch
#

you're assured 90 days with the buff. if the server remains preferred past that, you will have it until the server stops being preferred

nocturne void
#

I'm first time through MSQ with lvl 54 Summ, if I switch to gunbreaker or a diff lvl 60 job for variety, will that hinder my progression or should I level summ first?

wintry chasm
#

No it wouldn't hinder you at all

#

You'd need to pick up accessories for them really but that's easy enough

honest anvil
#

you cant unlock gnb without getting another lv60 anw

leaden ginkgo
#

i got the 500 relic what’s the next step

honest anvil
#

Do bozja story

#

= do all blue, and ! Quests in gangos and inside bozja

What is the best way to get into Savage content? I haven't done Savage since ARR Extremes. My schedule doesn't really allow for a 2-3 night a week static atm.

sullen lark

Party Finder

nocturne void
#

I'm a new player and willing to spend time learning a harder class, iyo whats better DK or GB for my first tank class?

obsidian patio
#

Dark Knight (DRK) goes pretty into resource management and juggling your oGCDs

remote lintel
#

tanks arent really hard in the first place

honest anvil
#

Gnb can be overwhelming to start with cause you get a lot of skills at once though

#

drk starts lower so might be easier to learn tank 101 with it

worthy venture
#

Thank you gang, I was able to become Astro and be Yu Gi Oh

manic rune
signal aspen
#

what's the song that's being used in the easter event area?

#

can I get it ingame somehow?

manic rune
#

@placid hull if you haven’t done harder content since arr, it may be worth going through and clearing the current shb extreme fights since they’re not quite at savage level difficulty but still a step up from msq/normal mode

twilit arch
#

was an old event reward so thats why its on mogstation now

signal aspen
#

awwwww

#

alright

placid hull
obsidian patio
#

The new Diamond extreme is a good starting step since everyone is new

jade quartz
#

Current extreme, then 9S

#

don't go do content that's not current

copper plume
#

so im just starting off in ff14 and i was wondering...should i stick to main quest for now or should i worry bout side quest

jade quartz
#

Previous savage tiers aren't really run any more, and non-level-80 stuff is just unsynced so won't actually give you experience of what it's like.

obsidian patio
manic rune
#

diamond learning/practice parties are good since you’ll probably be learning it for the first time with other players

obsidian patio
#

The blue quests unlock content like dungeons, features such as dyeing and glamour/transmog, other classes, or actions for your classes

copper plume
#

thats good to know...thanks for that info

signal aspen

#

whats the name of the new glamour from maps?

twilit arch
#

#

frontier?

#

okay

deep gyro
#

what's the fastest way to level from 60-61 on an alt class after doing all the daily roulettes?

#

hoh?

#

or is that 61+?

slate arrow
#

61+

honest anvil
#

run a dungeon

slate arrow
#

just do the gubal library level 59 dungeon

deep gyro
#

hmm okay

#

i assume it gives more than the level 60 ones

honest anvil
#

yes

jade quartz
#

It does. 60 dungeons give tomestones in lieu of good exp.

deep gyro
#

awesome thanks

honest anvil
#

Lv cap dungeons give close to no exp ...

deep gyro
#

yeah that's what i thought

sacred orbit
#

can anyone help me finish a bunch of dungeons unsynced?

deep gyro
#

recruit on party finder

sacred orbit
#

no one joining

deep gyro
#

also i believe you're on the wrong channel

#

there's a recruitment channel in this discord iirc

leaden ginkgo
#

When can i do dungeons with my squadron?

fading helm
#

why when i click exit game

#

it sometimes counts down from 20

celest inlet
#

when will they start selling the whale that carrys 8 people?

leaden ginkgo
#

Task manager-close game

jade quartz
fading helm
#

oh really

jade quartz
fading helm
#

so is it bad if i exit there

jade quartz
#

no it's fine

#

just means you can't log out to avoid combat basically

#

note you don't accrue rested exp while logged out when not in a sanctuary, though

leaden ginkgo
#

Lima bean 0-0 when can i do dungeons with squadron

jade quartz
#

When your squadron gets to rank 2

leaden ginkgo
#

How do i check?

jade quartz
#

When you get there, the squadron sergeant will have a new explanation of it for you.

#

It's when you have access to the second set of missions.

leaden ginkgo
#

It dont say dungeons guide

jade quartz
#

when you get there

leaden ginkgo
#

Ima cry

jade quartz
#

Level up your squadron until you can do a priority mission

#

that will bring you to rank 2.

#

Taking squadrons into dungeons is called "command missions"

wind dragon
#

I unlocked bowl of embers hard by doing Ifrit bleeds we can kill it quest... do I actually need to do bowl of embers to unlock the Garuda one? Like is it mandatory to actually do the dungeon hard mode to progress the MSQ, or is unlocking it all I needed to do?

#

I checked my journal but I don't see the next step

jade quartz
wind dragon
#

ok cool thanks!

what is this hairstyle?

wait you serious? i've never seen it before

hushed garnet
#

Hi, I'm new to FF14 and was wondering if anyone was around to help me out purchasing the game properly. I've read that you can get a lot of content for free at the moment, including all the way up to heavensward.

Is the complete edition the proper purchase to play fully?

jade quartz
#

If you want to play for free, ^

manic flare
#

you get the base game plus the first expansion which is like 50 hours of content

#

and you can play the free trial indefinitely

jade quartz
#

Complete Edition is the full game if you want to buy.

manic flare
#

once you buy the game, you have to sub though

jade quartz
#

Once you've bought it you have to pay monthly subscription.

copper plume
#

sorry i have another question

#

how do i go about lvl up my blacksmith? i have the hammer but idk what to do with iy

hushed garnet
#

I want to try the game in its fullest and don't mind risking buying it over playing on a trial that will limits part of the game. Just wanted to make sure that I wasn't wasting money when I could do something to save $.

jade quartz
#

Equip the hammer and you become a blacksmith. As you level up you'll need to get crafting gear to equip.

hushed garnet
#

I was kind of under the impression I got up to Heavensward free and I'd only need to purchase the most recent expansion

deep gyro
#

there won't be many things that will limit you at least in the first day of playing the free trial

jade quartz
#

To start out, open your crafting log with N on keyboard by default

deep gyro
#

just sign up for the trial, play it, and once you feel limited you can buy the game

jade quartz
#

select a recipe and see what materials you need

deep gyro
#

then at least you save one day of sub ;)

jade quartz
#

procure those materials (most materials needed for early level stuff are buyable from merchants right there in the class guild)

#

and synthesise.

hushed garnet
#

Wouldn't I feel limited instantly by having race creation limitations? PepoThink

deep gyro
#

true

#

but you get a free fantasia

jade quartz
#

Then you use your blacksmith hotbar skills to complete the craft.

slate arrow
#

you get a free fantasia assuming you don't buy a story skip ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

deep gyro
#

so u can change it after you buy the full game

#

i think my alts have fantasias

#

from story skip

jade quartz
#

Crafting every item in your crafting log gives you bonus exp which is worth doing up until like level 15 or 20

#

then you can start doing leves and/or ishgard restoration.

nova umbra
#

I see the word "tps" in PF a lot, what does that mean

jade quartz
#

You don't get MSQ fantasia if you story skip.

twilit arch
deep gyro
nova umbra
#

does it mean something?

deep gyro
#

it's the name of the group who cleared it first and it means they want to use their strat

#

probably for advanced relativity

jade quartz
#

The Viera and Hrothgar races are from later expansions so they're not included.

left quail
#

ah

hushed garnet
#

Ah I'd be playing with my girlfriend so that would complicate things in general, right?

jade quartz
#

It could

#

But it's workable

left quail
#

according to my ingame research you also can't send tells as a free player, is this correct?

hushed garnet
#

In general though, like I said, I'm cool with paying to play it over the free trial to skip headaches.

copper plume
#

@jade quartz thank you

manic flare
jade quartz
#

If you buy Starter Edition, that's still just the base game and Heavensward, but with the limitations removed

#

probably not worth it just for that

#

Complete Edition is the full game with all expansions.

left quail
#

also, how much are the monthly subscription costs?

manic flare
jade quartz
#

!faq subprice

zinc orbitBOT
#
Subscription Prices
manic flare
#

then activate the gaame after you finiished free trial

left quail
#

oh $13/month minimum

hushed garnet
#

Paying $60 USD is not much to me, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't throwing $30 away by not signing up in a particular manner

left quail
#

i'm probably going to stay as a free player until i get a summer job

#

if i get a summer job

burnt crown
#

Can we change/fix in-game daytime? It's too dark during night for me even with light and color adjustment...

left quail
#

weird, ingame night is perfectly fine for me, maybe it's a graphics quality thing

hushed garnet
#

Next noob question - I saw in a video there are double exp servers. Are these a huge trap that I'd regret going to quickly due to it being dead?

manic flare
twilit arch
#

preferred worlds aren't dead

jade quartz
manic flare
#

you can't trade or initiate parties, and have very limited chat functionality in free trial

twilit arch
#

they're just not at the population level that SE wants them to be.

jade quartz
#

You could try reshade/gshade, a third-party post-processing software

left quail
hardy phoenix
bold flume
#

So do we have any idea how the maintenance is gonna affect the fetes?

hushed garnet
twilit arch
#

correct, instance content is cross server anyway

hardy phoenix
#

Ah I see thanks that makes sense

twilit arch
#

so its not like its hard to find people to play with

jade quartz
#

You can buy Starter Edition and Shadowbringers Standard edition separately

Or you can buy it all together as Complete Edition

left quail
#

oh does instanced stuff search thru everyone on your datacenter?

raven sage
#

yes

left quail
#

ah i seee

#

if i travel to an underpopulated world do i get the xp bonus while there or does the character have to be created there?

jade quartz
#

The character must be created there.

left quail
#

good 2 know

deep gyro
#

i swear i remember seeing a fantasia in my new alt that i msq skipped

#

maybe it's a new thing

#

i can log into it and double check

jade quartz
#

You don't get the fantasia if you MSQ skip.

deep gyro
#

this was literally last week

jade quartz
#

Do you own HW collectors' edition?

deep gyro
#

nope

jade quartz
#

That has a fantasia in it

deep gyro
#

oh wait

twilit arch
#

or old veteran rewards

deep gyro
#

lemme check

#

hmmm

#

true

#

lemme check

twilit arch
#

if you earned the fantasia from that, you still receive it even though its been shuffled to msq for new players

deep gyro
#

ahhh i see

#

makes sense!

quasi tendon
#

how to deal with undercutting as a crafter

deep gyro

it's a free market so that's the only thing you can do

#

Hi! Newbie playing looking to try the free trial. Aiming to join the Chaos server as I am in the UK. Rough research seems to suggest Louisoix is best for casual and English-speaking players. Is this still the case?

deep gyro
#

any of them are fine

#

i haven't found louisoix a standout server for anything in particular

#

except for certain cheap items once in a while

errant swan
#

Thank you Mila.

deep gyro
#

dungeons and raid content is cross server

#

so you can play with anyone in chaos

#

you can only join an fc (like a guild) on your server and buy housing on your server

mental lava
#

anyone free to do the sirensong sea?

deep gyro
#

and you can even visit other servers in your data centre

olive totem
#

Um, is the last HW quest Heavensward?

cursive abyss
#

How close can you get to a Shantotto cosplay in this game? I have the staff.

olive totem
#

Or is it another name?

obsidian patio
#

That’s the last quest for the leveling story

jade quartz
#

Heavensward is the last quest in base Heavensward

deep gyro
#

is shantotto a frog? there's a frog glam haha

olive totem
#

Oh -_-

#

I gotta deal with more dlcs?

#

I just wanna get the dungeons

jade quartz
#

then there are 40-ish Heavensward patch quests

#

There are dungeons

olive totem
#

Yay!

#

:'D

#

Like Ex dungeons?

#

I want hard dungeons that help me work on mechanics

hoary iris
#

how do you equip chocobo barding?

deep gyro
#

most dungeons aren't that hard

slate arrow
#

there's no such thing as EX dungeons

deep gyro
#

if you wanna practice mechanics you need to do raids or extreme trials

jade quartz
#

Dungeons are casual content by their nature.

slate arrow
#

if you want mechanics, you have to play extreme, savage, or ultimate content

obsidian patio
olive totem
#

Yeah, are there extreme dungeons in HW?

slate arrow
#

no

olive totem
#

._.

slate arrow
#

there are no such thing as extreme dungeons

jade quartz
#

There are no extreme dungeons.

#

There are extreme trials in every expansion.

upper cove
#

Any idea why this is happening? DRK lvl 60 coffer

olive totem
#

Then why did he say "extreme, savage, or ultimate"?

deep gyro
#

you already ahve something from the coffer

olive totem
#

If there is no extreme?

upper cove
#

I dont have any chaos armor as far as I know

deep gyro
#

extreme trials

obsidian patio
#

Junk the accessories and belt from the other tank sets

olive totem
#

Oh

obsidian patio
#

Those are shared between the level 60 tank coffers

olive totem
#

Trials!

obsidian patio
#

The ardent/fabled stuff

deep gyro
#

all hard content are 8 man

jade quartz
#

Extreme trials
Savage raids

olive totem
#

I share the term dungeon and trials loosely

#

Sorry

#

I forget those are completely different

potent lava
#

Are limit breaks affected by fiddling with battle effects

slate arrow
#

no

upper cove
#

Oh nvm it's the belt

deep gyro
#

in this game there's a big difference between dungeons and trials

upper cove
#

@obsidian patio yy

deep gyro
#

if you stick with your terminology it's gonna confuse a lot of people

olive totem
#

@deep gyro I did the minstrel ballad trial and it was pretty easy

deep gyro
#

it's because it is like 10 years old

olive totem
#

Oh

deep gyro
#

ok not 10 but

slate arrow
#

you also sync to 135 for all ARR content by default so

olive totem
#

Oh

slate arrow
#

you just cheese the hell out of ARR stuff by sheer item level alone

jade quartz
#

You probably did it unsynced I assume

hoary iris
#

nvm i figured it out....

olive totem
#

Is there such a thing as unsynced?

slate arrow
#

yes

#

!faq unsync

How to do Group Instances by Yourself or Without Enough People

In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.

olive totem
#

There was a tank that had less hp than I did

deep gyro
#

that irrelevant to level syncing

#

everyone else probably had 10x more hp and stats

olive totem
#

Oh

deep gyro
#

in fact you can do it solo

jade quartz
#

Unsyncing means goin in to old content at current level cap.

deep gyro
#

and 1 tap everything in arr

#

lol

jade quartz
#

ARR stuff dies in seconds.

left quail
#

what's a good way to level gathering 10-20 and 20-30?

deep gyro
#

im exaggerating but

#

not by a lot

slate arrow
#

If you want to do it like it was originally, you'll need to do Minimum Item Level

olive totem
#

Well 🤢 we still wiped because there were a few who didn't know what to do. I ran it a couple of times and most of the times dps or under geared tanks always died within the first minute

#

Like to ahem KILL THE ORBS

obsidian patio
left quail
#

what's that thing you mentioned?

obsidian patio
#

It’s a thing you can unlock during the heavensward patch story, the first expansion

left quail
#

ah

#

i'm still not even halfway thru arr

rough wedge
#

is there a difference between which na server i choose?

obsidian patio
#

Then just grind on nodes near/at your level and do leves at Quarrymill for 20-30

twilit arch
rough wedge
#

is there like any major benefits between which race i choose to play as?

manic flare
#

pick the race you find most attractive or you find to be the coolest

#

most people will pick lalafell

shrewd owl
#

Huh

twilit arch
nocturne void
#

Is there a benefit to farming lvl 50 raids for new player?

obsidian patio
#

Gear-wise, no.

nocturne void
#

Seems like gear it unlocks isn't as good as Ironworks? Or am I mistaken?

#

Ahh ok

obsidian patio
#

Ironworks is the best gear for level 50 content

deep gyro
#

some are better than ironworks but even then it gets replaced super fast

#

so its not worth your time

manic flare
deep gyro
#

i think if u finish it you get a louisoix minion

obsidian patio
#

Even then most of the ARR raid gear has dyeable alternatives

deep gyro
#

which is cool if you're into that

obsidian patio
#

Like crafted replica gear for coil, or crafted stuff for world of darkness

manic flare
deep gyro
#

you can craft gear that shares the model of the gear from wod

#

which are also dyeable

manic flare
#

oh really? like the demon robe of casting/healing?

obsidian patio
#

It’s the i320 or i350 crafted sets at level 70

question about nier 3rd raid
my rewards say already received 3/3
i wanna get the new hairstyle, but does this mean i cant get it cuz its 3/3?

nocturne void
#

What level/currency/set is the next progression after Iron works gear at level 50?

languid hollow
#

what level do you have to be to do the nier raids and what dlcs are required

remote lintel
#

@nocturne void 60

#

poetics gear is old endgame gear

remote lintel
#

theyre the alliance raids for shadowbringers

twilit arch
#

need to have also completed shadowbringers to be able to unlock and do them

languid hollow
#

gotcha, so if someone was to upgrade from trial version what do you suggest they buy?

remote lintel
#

complete edition

languid hollow
#

thank u

unreal folio
#

so quick question, lvling up my BTN from lvl 50 to 80 and was just wondering if i should just ignore the BTN quests in the meantime and concentrate on leveling via leves and gear when I reach 70?

#

or what do you guys suggest

rose oak
#

Quest gave me a good boost

#

Open diadem. I learn about that place too late

unreal folio
#

diadem?

crystal bluff
#

ishgard restoration/firmament

unreal folio
#

ah

whole wasp
#

Diadem is a map full of non-hostile monsters and lots of gathering spots. You enter it from the firmament. Ishgard resotration thingy.

#

Also do your quest

rose oak
#

From 70 to 80 I did a mix of leaves,gathering and btn quest

#

Took me 3 days

unreal folio
#

how bout gear wise?

rose oak
#

From 1 to 80

#

Gear from the vendor

halcyon radish
#

I just got to the point in MSQ where I can now do the WEAPON quests to fight ruby/sapphire/emerald/diamond
Should I stop and do as much of that as I can or finish MSQ first?

#

story-wise

whole wasp
#

!trait enhanced gp restoration

#

!trait enhanced gp regeneration

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Enhanced GP Regeneration** : lvl 70 MIN

Raises base GP regeneration rate by one.

whole wasp
#

@unreal folio do your quests

twilit arch
unreal folio
#

got it, thanks for the advice guys!

rose oak
#

Make sure if u buy gear u don't need to buy or upgrade constant

#

And when u buy make sure u buy the perception/gathering one

#

And in 10 levels I would say you probably upgrade twice at the start and end

#

But is how I did it

halcyon radish
twilit arch
#

yeah doing it later is more than fine

halcyon radish
#

Cool

twilit arch
#

weapon story doesn't really make or break so to speak if you don't do in proper order with msq

#

its fairly self contained, compared to eden which is much more closely tied to the msq

rose oak
#

The red tomes drop rate is too low and they have a cap that should be rwmoved

halcyon radish
#

That's all I wanted to hear, I know it's one of the best parts but I just wanna catch up on MSQ tbh.

#

so that I'm free to do what i please

#

and plus I'm more invested in the MSQ right now and don't want to be wrenched away on another side project

cursive abyss
#

Is there really going to be a Cruise Chaser mount?

leaden ginkgo
#

What are the requirements to be able to sell/buy items from MB on a new character? Clear Sastasha right?

twilit arch
#

buy from the marketboard doesn't have any requirements

#

so long as you've got the gil and aren't on free trial, once you're out of the initial solo instance you can use the marketboard. selling on the other hand, requires you to join the scions which is lvl 17 msq

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmm I see, tysvm

manic flare
boreal storm
signal aspen
#

any recommendations on what I can use to cover this up?

#

the roof piece

jade pollen
#

As RDM, what is Engagement good for? It looks like a worse Displacement.

twilit arch
#

basically if you know displacement will kill you, use engagement

analog gate
#

engagement is used when you can't used displacement, either because you don't have enough weave space (eg in the opener, displacement would take two weave slots) or displacement will kill you

twilit arch
#

that way you're still getting some dmg

jade pollen
#

so it's literally a nerfed displacement that allows you to not hug the floor

#

I see, thanks

wispy falcon
#

Is it realistic to start doing the first Eden fight at ilvl510? If not, what am I looking for to start there?

remote lintel
#

normal or savage

wispy falcon
#

I guess normal

remote lintel
#

as long as you meet the min ilvl its fine

finite topaz
#

Normal is fine at even 500

#

Heck, Savage too is fine at 500

#

As long as you...y'know... are gud

signal aspen
#

emergency maint?

twilit arch
#

ye to hopefully fix the issue with world visit

signal aspen
#

is this npc still around?

#

I don't see them around 10-9 in ul'dah

twilit arch
#

no

#

that's from past hatchingtide events

signal aspen
twilit arch
#

the npc that sells those is in gridania

honest anvil
#

does anyone have macro for hades? please give me

twilit arch
#

near the quest giver

signal aspen
#

how come it said certain items are obtainable again?

twilit arch
#

just talking about the fireworks

signal aspen
#

ooooooh

#

so we can't get the furniture pieces?

twilit arch
#

the hatching tide confections and archon egg pouch are available yes

#

since that's this years rewards

#

but previous years', no those are all on mogstation

signal aspen
#

how do you obtain them, kinda just got given a chicken costume and got lost because no new quest

twilit arch
#

the dreamer that's near the quest npc

signal aspen
#

thank ya

#

the npc kinda tells me to come back later

twilit arch
#

hm

signal aspen
#

this one right?

twilit arch
#

oh you haven't completed the event quests then. Are you certain there's no quest called "A Poultry Sum" near by/that you picked up?

signal aspen
#

the quest gives this right?

slate arrow
#

its not a bluequest

twilit arch
#

no, its the quest after you get the chicken suit

#

"Fowl demands" gives the suit, then there should be another quest called "A poultry sum"

signal aspen
#

do ya remember the coordinates for the npc

#

that gives ya the chicken suit by chance

twilit arch
#

Nonotta should be the one who gives the 2nd quest

#

she's at botanist guild i believe

signal aspen
#

o

obsidian patio
#

X10.2, y9.4 and x5.0, y8.2 are the main coordinates for the event

boreal storm
#

Go to Old gridania amphitheater and you get funneled through everything

signal aspen
#

thank you they had the second quest

#

lol they're a lalafell npc

torpid juniper
#

Where do you get them? I can't recall ever getting a riding map but I know my chocobo moves faster in some regions better than others. Still in ARR

twilit arch
#

the first tier of movement speed is tied to msq

#

so once you complete certain story quests, you'll get the first tier in specific zones

torpid juniper
#

Gotcha

twilit arch
#

Can check which zones you've gotten them in, in the Travel > Mount Speed menu

torpid juniper
#

Ok thanks. Is the 2nd star the one you get from riding maps?

twilit arch
#

yep

torpid juniper
#

Ok. Thanks for the info.

deep gyro
#

do you only get the bonuses on preferred worlds if you create a character on them or if you transfer to them WHILE they are preferred? i.e. if you create/transfer a character before they were a preferred world, you would not receive any of the benefits?

remote lintel
#

only created

deep gyro
#

bf has an alt on exodus he created 2 weeks ago, with the new patch they changed exodus from a standard to a preferred world so i guess he misses out on the bonuses

remote lintel
#

it has to be created while preferred

deep gyro
#

ah bad timing

trim niche
#

What are some ways I can make gil to level up my crafters and gatherers?

#

and buy some armor for fashion 🙂

earnest wraith
#

Eureka

trim niche
#

Oh?

#

Can you explain more pls?

earnest wraith
#

you can farm treasure from bunnies / sell items

#

or do bozja

open ember
#

that requires progression beyond Anemos

#

which could take a while

#

just do your roulettes as an "in need" for gil

fading aurora
#

When I play full screen mode and I tab out my game goes black screen for a few seconds anyone know how to fix it? When I play window it's fine

trim niche
#

I recently just got to the second area in Eureka

open ember
#

i mean pagos gives money but its not really the best way to get gil

#

tbh

trim niche
#

ahh

#

Which area do I need to get to?

open ember
#

hydatos preferably

#

maybe pyros

trim niche
#

I'm trying to raise 800k asap

remote lintel
#

do treasure maps

earnest wraith
#

if you are have crafter, gatherer. there are plenty way to reach that.

finite topaz
#

I recommend getting friends and doing treasure maps

trim niche
#

nope im not high enough to do the crafter/gatherer ways

finite topaz
#

It's one of the least invasive ways of making money

open ember
#

they said "leveling up" crafters and gatherers

#

i would do treasure maps yeah

harsh torrent
#

Whats the best rotation for SAM at level 55?

remote lintel
#

!faq samrotation

zinc orbitBOT
#
Samurai Rotation Guide
remote lintel
#

doing as much of this as possible

harsh torrent
#

Ooh, thanks

earnest ivy
#

do you have to be over level 50 to marry someone

signal aspen
#

did this patch introduce a flat screen furniture?

hushed garnet
#

Are there no preferred worlds or am I just having issues seeing them on the list? PepoThink Are there any on Aether?

remote lintel
#

@earnest ivy you need to be 50

raven sage
#

There's none on Aether no

earnest ivy
#

aw

remote lintel
#

and you need to have done the scions of the 7th dawn msq

earnest ivy
#

i did that

torpid juniper
#

More important for a bard: Crit hit or Direct hit rate?

hushed garnet
#

Ah ok found the resource for the lists. So I suppose only option I have for the non-rp worlds would be Exodus.

remote lintel
#

crit > dh > det

warped nest
#

@harsh torrent before you unlock a trait at lvl 62 that massively boost your kenki generation

remote lintel
#

@hushed garnet the only "rp world" is balmung

torpid juniper
#

Thanks a lot. Had an option between 2 very similar earrings but one has more crit and the other direct hit

warped nest
#

You want to prioritize spending kenki on Higanbana over Midare Setsugekka in single target situation

#

As Higanbana is more potent, in total

harsh torrent
#

100%

#

Higabana has been just beastly

#

With kenki

warped nest
#

👌

oblique yew
#

is world transfer available?

harsh torrent
#

Im doing CT rn also, and the damage indicators have been pretty confusing, its probably my only barrier playing DPS atm

#

Like I wasnt aware which are safe zones and which were attack ones

warped nest
#

@torpid juniper substat comparison happens when you have two gears with the same ilvl and same primary stat

#

If one of those ring has more Dexterity (the primary stat for Bard)

#

Pick that one

remote lintel
#

theres a resource for dmg indicators

#

but i cant remember what it is

harsh torrent
#

I died twice to Xende

#

Iirc thats his name

remote lintel
#

think it was this one

#

generally if its a brightly colored area you probably shouldnt stand there

torpid juniper
#

Any reason the, "recommended gear" button is picking the Aetherial Brass Ear Cuffs over the Darklight Earrings?

warped nest
#

Dexterity

#

Dexterity stat is what your Bard uses

#

Strength does nothing for a Bard

torpid juniper
#

Is the +2 dex worth giving up everything else?

remote lintel
#

strength does nothing for brd

#

darklight has no dex

harsh torrent
#

Whats the main SAM stats

gritty wraith
#

Auto isn’t always correct

warped nest
#

Strength

azure hound
#

Does it matter what company I join?

harsh torrent
#

Does he do crit?

warped nest
#

Nope, Bik

remote lintel
warped nest
#

@harsh torrent crit is substat

torpid juniper
#

@gritty wraith I've heard that it's generally pretty good until end game gear. So I've been using it most of the time. This one caught me off guard.

remote lintel
#

recommended button will pick your main stat over ilvl

warped nest
#

It is technically not wrong, in that it does pick the piece with your primary stat

torpid juniper
#

So should I stick with what was recommended?

warped nest
#

Take note that once you move pass i120, this will be a lot less confusing

remote lintel
#

just get better earrings with dex

warped nest
#

I would just buy ironwork earring

torpid juniper
#

@warped nest on the market place?

remote lintel
#

no

warped nest
#

Poetics

remote lintel
#

ironworks is in mor dhona

warped nest
#

Allagan Tomestone of Poetics

torpid juniper
#

I'll look into it. Thanks. Still going through ARR so just been using what I find or am given in quests.

warped nest
#

You use them to buy powerful level 50/60/70 gears, amongst other things

slate arrow
#

*max item level obtainable for the expansion

remote lintel
#

if you havent beaten the ultimate weapon then you cant buy ironworks

warped nest
#

They have darklight earring though

#

Aren't darklight stuff dropped in the later lvl 50 dungeons?

#

Like snowcloak

remote lintel
#

i dont remember where darklight is haha

warped nest
#

Lol

torpid juniper
#

@remote lintel I have not. Think I may be close. Got the scions together and am doing the plan they made to fight instead of surrendering.

remote lintel
#

sounds close

warped nest
#

If you have finished your lvl 50 BRD quest

#

You should get a coffer with some i90 gears

#

That should be enough for the time being

#

Don't worry about your earring for now

torpid juniper
#

@warped nest I did. Got lots of great gear.

remote lintel
#

ARR doesnt really give you accessories so just beat the ultimate weapon first

torpid juniper
#

Well great compared to what I had lol

signal aspen
#

what's the name of the t.v screen that changes images?

#

from 5.5

warped nest
#

You can still use the darklight earring if you need to keep your average ilvl high to queue for dungeons

signal aspen
obsidian patio
#

It doesn’t change images, they’re preset to the furnishing

warped nest
#

But definitely consider going for ironwork when they are available

obsidian patio
#

But that one can be bought from furniture vendors at the housing districts

#

In the (other/miscellaneous) category

signal aspen
#

oh, how about the windows are those player made?

torpid juniper
#

@warped nest I will. Said I need some tombstones as currency to buy gear? Or am I mistaken? Also is that the currency you get from PvP?

obsidian patio
#

That specific one is crafted by CRP at 80

warped nest
#

PvP currency is wolf seal

#

Allagan Tomestone of Poetics, or Poetics for short, comes from lvl 50/60/70 contents

remote lintel
#

you start earning poetics once you hit 50

#

theyre for buying old endgame gear from each expac

#

which ironworks is the old ARR endgame gear

warped nest
#

In the current endgame, you have two Tomestone (not poetics) you can earn to buy gear

#

Once they become obsolete as we got into new expansion

#

Poetics becomes the tomestone you use for the same gear

torpid juniper
#

Ok. Thanks for clarification.

remote lintel
#

thats way ahead tho

warped nest
#

Open your currency Ui

torpid juniper
#

@remote lintel got nothing else I'm looking forward to anytime soon so that's fine lol

warped nest
#

And you should be able to inspect how many Poetics you have

vast sphinx
#

I have a question if anyone could help- I am starting on 5.4's raid tier for the first time catching up (returner here) and I want to reread the story so far. Does anyone know of a good place I can refresh my memory that's not the book at the inn? A wiki, video series, etc?

remote lintel
#

i mean you could look up the cutscenes on youtube

torpid juniper
#

Got zero poetics. I'll get there soon. Thanks for the help

remote lintel
#

or i could give you a tldr

vast sphinx
warped nest
#

Good luck and have fun, Ex

remote lintel
#

there isnt any that i know of

#

you could read the journal logs at the inn?

vast sphinx
#

those are not complete, they leave out a lot of dialogue. anyway, I just found it. here it is if anyone is curious/needs it

remote lintel
#

that looks fine but i would be weary of that wiki because it doesnt always have accurate information

#

also spoiler it

#

and it contains the story of the last tier of raids so be careful

fading helm
#

so there is these firepots i have to destroy

gritty falcon
#

Hi, I'm looking at this site and wondering why when you scroll down, it starts to say "recommended level...." and uses numbers higher than 80. I thought level cap was 80.....?

fading helm
#

but how do i do that

fading helm
#

like i cant click it

remote lintel
#

@gritty falcon its ilvl not character level

#

@fading helm do you need to use a key item?

gritty falcon
#

ohh

fading helm
#

yeahhh

remote lintel
#

then use the key item from your inventory

gritty falcon
#

How often does the game go on sale (both the base and complete editions)?

cursive abyss
#

Is the Blue HUD Color a reference to this?

remote lintel
#

yes the classic ff games use a blue ui

#

@gritty falcon every few months maybe

gritty falcon
#

Is there a guide for inventory management if you're trying to squeeze the most out of the free trial? I have the one for avoiding gil cap saved

cursive abyss
remote lintel
#

sell any crafting mats and potions you dont need

#

use the useable stuff like triple triad cards etc

gritty falcon
#

I guess the problem here is that I haven't touched any non-battle content basically so I don't exactly know what items I need or don't need

#

I only just started fishing today lol

remote lintel
#

if you dont need the crafting mats then sell them

#

and use your chocobo saddlebag

@finite topaz I have 4 monitors and it messes with it if u go windowed borderless

That's why I need fullscreen fixe dbut idk what's causing it

Hey I just started doing dungeons and I have no clue what to do as a tank ???

The one after that

finite topaz

Step 1:
Activate tank stance if it isnt
Step 2:
Hit monsters with your attacks(AoEs, to hit as many as you can, also dmg on AoEs adds up and its easier to keep aggro)
Step 3:
Use your defensive buffs

literally any dps

go to class/esjobs

are you familiar with mmo roles?

It'll say melee dps, physical range dps, magical range dps

signal aspen
#

is there anyway to get items on these fake second floors in apartments without glitching?

#

or an item that gives you a platform?

finite topaz
#

As for jobs that are "DPS", the red icons are the DPS jobs

Blue icons are tank jobs, green icons are healer jobs, if you wanna stop being a punching bag, pick any of the red ones that suits yer fancy

slate arrow
potent shale
#

Has Mogstation mounts ever go on sale

fading aurora
#

@finite topaz when u said borderless fullscreen did you mean borderless windowed?

slate arrow
finite topaz
#

So i was referring to whichever setting makes it so your game occupies a fullscreen, without it being traditional fullscreen

fading aurora
#

There is no borderless fullscreen option

finite topaz
#

well game is in maint so i cant check right now, but i guess it would be the other one

fading aurora
#

But when I set the game to borderless windowed game goes to like 1280x720

potent shale
finite topaz
#

cuz that's the one im using

fading aurora
#

Nope

#

There is windowed, borderless windowed and fullscreen

#

Only 3 options

finite topaz
#

and change the resolution like this

fading aurora
#

When I put it in borderless windowed it auto locks to 1280x720

#

And can't change it

#

780*

vernal bramble
#

there's maintenance? even though the servers are online?

fading aurora
#

They are going down

Can I install ff14 without steam? Or since I bought it through steam. I have to always open the game through steam?

finite topaz

Only open with steam, yup

finite topaz

#

What's the point of having fullscreen mode if it does that glitch

#

Never seen that in a game ever

finite topaz
#

paissaowo It's not a glitch

fading helm
#

nooo right when i was about to get my black mage barding

finite topaz
#

every game that's fullscreen does that

fading aurora
#

Nope

#

Never ever seen that in any game

#

And I play a shit ton of games

#

Including like 3 other mmorpgs

finite topaz
#

paissaowo Well this aint the place for me to argue about yer technical issues, but since game is in maint, cant really test any solutions yet

I've tried to look thru game folder settings aswell to fix it but can't find anything to do with it

vocal shell
#

without needing to launch steam

finite topaz
#

It says there that the game automatically locks to your screen resolution...but since it locks to a smaller one for you, i'd guess you having 4 screens probably has something to do with it

fading aurora
#

@finite topaz it says it auto locks the resolution to desktop my desktop monitor is not a 1280x780 it's 1920x1080

#

Makes no sense

finite topaz
#

Are you using some kind of virtual resolution?

fading aurora
#

No

finite topaz
#

try this next time game is up

#

Fullscreen>Set resolution>Borderless windowed

If that doesnt works, do Windowed>Set resolution>Borderless windowed

fading aurora
#

If u set the resolution to 1920x1080 and go borderless it auto switches to the locked 1280x780

#

I've already tried

#

I guess I'll just try another thing tomorrow ty for trying

vocal shell
#

its a third party one

#

when will the maintenance end?

finite topaz
final steeple
#

thx

fading aurora
#

@finite topaz I set the compatability o that hopefully it will work

#

Sadly can't check till tomorrow

finite topaz
#

Let us hope bro

#

Listen tho, if the number in the resolution part changes, it doesnt matters at all

#

it's just set there as a placeholder at 720p by default, but it is rendering at yer monitor's res

I know the servers are down, but what actually do you in fetes (new ishgard thing)

fading aurora
#

@finite topaz this problem wasent so much about the black screen but after a few tabs my monitor goes into error mode because of the game and I have to replug it in

#

It was starting to get annoying

finite topaz
#

I attribute this to some older games and stuff like that, where you were kinda expected to just focus solely on the game when in full-screen

#

FFXIV is an old game, after all

#

But as always, it depends on the coding and the engine

fading aurora
#

Hopefully they fix it, I've seen others complain on reddit

#

Borderless also reduces fps compared to full screen so playing fullscreen is more ideal

How long is the maintenance?

Sorry I can't help I just started like 3 motnhs ago

obsidian patio
#

Try pinging both the NA datacenters and Elemental and use that to compare

warm snow
#

Someone asked the other day and iirc elemental is the unofficial Oceania data center

obsidian patio
#

^

mental dawn
#

ohh thanks guys

#

always a bit confusing when there isn't a set OCE server

obsidian patio
#

basically if you have much better ping to Elemental consider that instead of the NA datacenters

#

and the unofficial English-speaking servers for Elemental being Tonberry and Kujata

finite topaz
mental dawn
#

I managed to pick maintenance time to come back to the game so plenty of time to check ping and try to make a decision while I wait lol, thanks for the help

obsidian patio
#

Somehow we always get a couple of new players join right when maintenance happens.

warm snow
#

To be fair this is an emergency - ish maintenance

#

So largely not your fault

shut panther
fierce cobalt
#

so no actual crafting, just bringing mats and stuff?

little swift
#

5 fetes total for 30 minutes of stuff

shut panther
#

No actual crafting yeah

little swift
#

500 skybuilders scrips

#

Some gil

#

And some exp

#

And 10 fete boxes

shut panther
#

Just a series of "interact with a series of objects"

fierce cobalt
#

one box = 1 token?

little swift
#

Not always

shut panther
#

Boxes are random drops

little swift
#

The boxes can have other items

obsidian patio
#

they can have the things you buy with the tokens, like a mount and glamour coffer

#

or other things like furniture and dye

shut panther
#

Tokens are the most common, but they seem to pull from a massive loot table

glass oyster
obsidian patio
#

my first set of 10 coffers gave 8 tokens, dark green dye, and one of the Fete furnishings

#

meanwhile my FC mate got 2 mounts and a coffer

#

😡

#

I'm in the process of unlocking most content, however I've yet to find anything Nier related? I must be blind.

shut panther
#

Tbh the Mount drop rate seems high enough that its value will crater rapidly anyway

#

Are you 80?

lethal mist
#

Yes 80 on main job

little swift
#

Yeah I've been to all 3 fete sessions so far and I got 2 coffers 1 mount, skybuilders pants, 4 housing items and rest tokens

obsidian patio
#

it's already cratered on gilgamesh, at 100k and will continue to drop

#

what's your current story quest?

warm snow
#

Have you finished base ShB?

lethal mist
#

To be continued...

#

I'll just backtrack

Yeah kholusia

Start it on Kholusia, one of the blue quests

Thanks a lot all!

#

The very first quest for YorHa is "Rumor in Komra" or "A Scandal in Komra", both by the Tomra Aetheryte.

lethal mist
#

Guess I'll just wait 10h until game is online again 🙂

warm snow
#

Hope you have flight

lethal mist
#

First thing I did was unlock flight everywhere. Such a severe handicap not to ahve it. Especially if you had it after MSQ ARR and then it got "suddenly taken away" going into HW+ content lol

#

Who doesn't unlock flight? Doesn't take much and it is immensely useful. Like a core feature I don't see how you live without. Even with flight I sometimes get a bit "meh" cause it's not fast enough 😂

little swift
#

Some people just don't

#

Its not important contrnt to them/ they might have friends

warm snow
#

people who do msq as tank and healer

lethal mist
#

Why is MSQ as tank/healer any different?

finite topaz
warm snow
#

Most dps need something to do while queueing for dungeons. Perfect time to hunt down aether currents

lethal mist
#

Firt thing I did was have maps up of all the aetheryte points and soon as I got close enough I simply went for them asap. And as soon as quests popped up that gave me those I did those asap. It's kinda "on the way" regardless. And I powered through MSQ in a matter of a few weeks at most. Heck I think I did all 3 expansions in under 1,5 weeks. I did skip SOME dialogue but I watched cutscenes and listened to important pointers.

#

To each their own tho.

Hello! I'm looking at playing with some friends and noticed my account is apparently based in Europe? Will this make a difference if we all play on (or plan to play on) Tonberry?
