Does dancer start with base level 60?

remote lintel
#

yes

fading aurora
#

Okay Thanx again

warm snow
#

Hw jobs start at 30
Sb jobs start at 50
Shb at 60
Endwalker jobs are confirmed to start at 70

azure hound
#

Are fishing maps hard? I've level 53 for reference

delicate field
#

are you trying to max out fishing to 80?

azure hound
#

No I just want a map

#

And I'm already level 50

twilit arch
#

getting treasure maps from fishing is just rng

delicate field
#

oh like you catch a fish, and next time around it could be a map?

twilit arch
#

honestly easier to get maps with bot/miner since its a lot less rng involved

boreal storm
#

Pick a node, is there a map? No, try a different one

warm snow
#

It's easier to get maps with botanist or miner

fossil bloom
#

Question for RPers, I made this post on the sub just now.

modest igloo
#

I dont know too much about the rp scene, but you'd probably be fine doing that

jolly sorrel
#

It depends on the people you hang with. Some are really strict, some are just in it for the fun of it.

#

Gotta ask the specific FC for their interpretation

boreal storm
#

Hey, there’s no way you’re the first person to do that. So I don’t think there’s gonna be any problem

robust crow
#

is there currently any way to get a crypt ester other than clearing e11s?

faint flare
#

Nope

robust crow
#

i don't think nut sacks buy them

#

that's what i thought thanks

warm snow
#

Nut sacks can't even buy ester form the previous tier

dense quiver
#

When playing this game and using abilities, they feel delayed? not the attack animation. but when it deals damage. is this normal?

warm snow
#

So they'll never be able to buy them

warm snow
faint flare
#

Damage is dealt when your gcd startd rolling

#

The flying damage text isn't tied to it

dense quiver
#

im pretty sure its not my ping

#

since in other games my ping is fine

#

and when i click an ability, the animation isnt delayed. just the damage

faint flare
#

Again

#

Damage is dealt when the gcd starts rolling

#

The flying text isn't related

#

The flying text always comes later

dense quiver
#

alright thanks

robust crow
#

this is also relevant for when you dodge shit

#

your location is snapshot at the end of the boss's cast

#

the animation the boss does to actually attack you is completely irrelevant

#

"why did I get hit I was out of that circle" you weren't out of that circle when the cast bar finished, basically

hasty sand
#

Is there a way to see how many FATEs you've done

For the trophy

#

Need to do 1000 of them :')

warm snow
#

If you check the achievement they'll usually have a counter

obsidian patio
#

Achievements > battle

hasty sand
#

Ohhh

#

That is so helpful.

#

Thank you all rynepat

warm snow
#

You can watch it so it shows up in your watchlist

hasty sand
#

Thats even better.

I need 1000 Levequests and 1000 FATEs done.

#

Thankfully. I can just grab the Tradecraft ones for fishing. Tends to be like 5 or so.

Turn those in every day.

noble pollen
#

Where can i get cheap lvl 66 RDM gear?

manic flare
#

i forget, do the fishing leves provide you with the lures to catch the required fish?

manic flare
twilit arch
#

no

onyx anchor
#

With RDM should I use Jolt, Veraero, Verthunder, Verstone and Verfire until both Mana is at 80-90 and then use Enchanted Riposte, Enchanted Zwercchau and Enchanted Redoublement?

faint flare
#

Yes, build guide to 80+ then melee.combo

For slightly more detail, go to YouTube

#

Look for WeskAlber

onyx anchor
faint flare
#

Its your priorities

warped nest
#

Your basic rotation

#

If single target

#

Do stuff in this box

#

Hardcast means you cast the spell normally

tacit mesa
#

is there a guide for sage? >_<

faint flare
#

No cause it doesn't exist uet

warped nest
#

The job doesn't exist yet

onyx anchor
#

Oh and also, this is unrelated, when's a good time to Limit Break in Dungeons?

manic flare
faint flare
#

In trash pulls

#

As a caster

tacit mesa
#

dang

faint flare
#

Large trash pulls

robust crow
#

best time to limit burst is as a caster or ranged DPS on large trash pulls

runic turret
#

ok so I am level 80 paladin, but every time I equip a sword to make a gear set it changes my class to gladiator. wtf. How do I change that/fix that?

warm snow

I need 250 rdm gear, where can i get some for cheap? I dont want to use the market board

#

While there are no guide for sage, healer knowledge are easily transferable

#

You can play other healers

To prepare yourself for sage

faint flare

onyx anchor
#

Would using Limit Break as Melee DPS be worth it?

faint flare
#

On bosses

warm snow
#

On the final boss

#

Specifically

runic turret
slate arrow
#

yes if your healers are not going to use it

boreal storm
#

Melee LB is single target

slate arrow
#

but that's only if it's lb3

#

If it's 1 or 2 DPS should always use it

warped nest
#

You should refresh your existing gearset whenever possible to avoid mistake like that

onyx anchor
#

There's more than 1 Limit Break?

boreal storm
#

LB bars go to 3

faint flare
#

Its based on number od bars filled

little swift
#

!faq limitbreak

zinc orbitBOT
#
How does Limit Break work?

See here

manic flare
#

does tank LB do any daamage?

warped nest
#

Equip Paladin gearset
Put on new sword
Refresh gearset

faint flare
#

No

#

Only mitigation

warped nest
#

Tank LB is for soaking damage

boreal storm
#

Pure defense

manic flare
warped nest
#

No

boreal storm
#

No it saves the party from dying

faint flare
#

Only when its needed

manic flare
#

well there are times where i'm the only person left standing in a fight and the LB3 bar is full, and i wonder if i should use it, as a tank

noble pollen
#

Where can i farm for lvl 66 rdm gear?

warped nest
#

Some content strictly requires a tank LB

onyx anchor
#

What 'bar'?

warped nest
#

Either level 65 dungeon, or buy HQ gear from MB

faint flare
#

Top left

faint flare
#

In a dungeon/party

onyx anchor
#

There's no bar

warped nest
#

LB bar don't show if you are alone

manic flare
twilit arch
#

limit break only shows when you're in a party of 4 or more

warped nest
#

No

#

It doesn't

manic flare
#

so you want to get the gear from bardam's mettle if at all possible

onyx anchor
slate arrow
#

Snack, please stop.

twilit arch

There's no bar

hey, i need help with a Revive macro. Anybody really good with macros here and could send me a dm?

onyx anchor
#

Unless I'm blind

slate arrow
#

So if people show up as ??? On the party list, that doesn't count

remote lintel
#

@pseudo crescent what are you trying to do

robust crow
#

this one is fine

warped nest
#

Open your HUD layout setting, look for Limit Break, remember where it is placed

#

Next time when you are in a dungeon look at that spot

twilit arch
#

micon should be at the bottom

remote lintel
#

you dont need <t>

stiff skiff
#

I asked the same question before but I'm asking again since someone said they don't think it's possible. Is it possible to buy a mount from the mogstation with a free trial.

onyx anchor
#

Anyway um, back to RDM, is there any faster way to fill the Mana? It goes so slow for a 3 move combo at the end...

robust crow
faint flare
#

Use swiftcast to instant cast thunder/aero and skip a jolt/fire/stone

leaden ginkgo
#

Eh im at gerolt with my DRK for relic weapons

delicate field
#

@onyx anchor Veraero/verthunder raises it by more

slate arrow
#

manaification and acceleration are your primary Mana boosting skills

faint flare
#

Manafaction boosts yoy up

leaden ginkgo
#

But he says its only avaible for other classes

robust crow
#

at level 70 and 80 you get an extension to the melee combo such that it becomes a 5 hit combo

leaden ginkgo
#

i can't start anything

robust crow
#

and not a 3 hit

slate arrow
warped nest
#

Have you done the role quest for tank

leaden ginkgo
#

What?

#

are there more than 1?

pseudo crescent
#

@remote lintel i have a macro which raises <t> first and says into the party chat the name of the player for the other healer to know. BUT if i don't have anyone targetted, it just goes down the party list and raises whoever is first dead. i want to know if there is any method of changing the /p message to the player whoi's getting raised without having him in target

faint flare
#

Yew

#

DRK doesn't have a 50 relic

onyx anchor
#

Oh um

faint flare
#

Only 60 onwards

delicate field
#

@pseudo crescent no

leaden ginkgo
#

so wheres

#

the gerolt

onyx anchor
#

Forgot to mention I'm only Level 50 RDM

slate arrow
#

The ARR one, the HW one, the Stormblood one, and the Shadowbringers one

leaden ginkgo
#

The real one

#

crap

faint flare
#

Ayzla, Eureka or Gangos for Shadowbringers

leaden ginkgo
#

Fkn gerolt

remote lintel
#

that doesnt sound like a good raise macro

warped nest
pseudo crescent
#

@delicate field @twilit arch ok thank you, tried for the past hour lol

rugged flicker
#

Is the minimum requirement for Bozjan 70 or 71?

slate arrow
#

71

twilit arch
#

71

rugged flicker
#

Ah fuck me.

#

Was really anxious to start on this job.

warped nest

The video is made specifically for new players picking up rdm for the first time

#

i just started a rogue and its level 1 and i have no armor, i can't buy any lv1 armor can i?

warped nest
#

You can

slate arrow
#

level 1 armor has effectively no stats

fossil bloom
#

I did that

warped nest
#

From NPC

pseudo crescent
#

@remote lintel btw what is that /merror ?

remote lintel
#

you dont need lvl 1 armor for lvl 1 enemies

#

turns off the error message

pseudo crescent
#

oh i see! thanks alot

slate arrow
fossil bloom
#

I got a question - is it true that most helmets are hidden in lions?

warped nest
#

Yeah

remote lintel
#

if you mean hrothgar yes

warped nest
#

And rabbit gals

slate arrow
#

The ones that completely replace the head model can be toggled visible though

pseudo crescent
#

@remote lintel sorry another question to your macro, why is it so many of the same line and not 1?

slate arrow
#

Because macros don't queue normally

warped nest
#

Macro are dumb

remote lintel
#

to make sure the command goes through

slate arrow
#

!faq macrogcd

warped nest
#

They don't work like button presses

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

remote lintel
#

macros are inherently badly designed

slate arrow
#

Basically you don't get an input buffer with macros

pseudo crescent
#

i seee, thanks alot ppl!

delicate field
#

so a raise macro is ok as long as you dont also macro swiftcast?

remote lintel
#

its unecessary but theyre ok

warped nest
#

Personally, I use a macro with just the /p part so people know what I'm doing

remote lintel
#

like the very border of ok

delicate field
#

like maybe add a few milliseconds extra in the end?

last brook
#

This is my first time in Diadem. My Compressed Aether bar is about to max out. Should I have used it before it reached that point? Also, what should monsters should I target?

faint flare
#

It takes 1 bar per shot

remote lintel
#

@delicate field more than that, if your macro even goes off in the first place

faint flare
#

Maximum 5 shots

slate arrow
#

Depends on what loot you're going for

crystal bluff
#

As long as the bar isn't completely full you haven't wasted any

boreal storm
#

Use aether cannon before it maxes, because max = basically wasted bar

delicate field
last brook
#

Thank you

twilit arch
#

that list isnt up to date

warm snow
#

Drops also scale to your current gatherer level

#

So you won't get lv80 drops from mobs if you're only level 30

faint flare
#

!faq diademmap

zinc orbitBOT
#
Gatherer’s map of the Diadem
faint flare
#

This is updated

twilit arch
#

the problem is also that for one most of the lists are going to be for 80

#

so if you're under that, the list wont be of benefit

#

but the map vinyl linked is up to date for the current 80 diadem mats

last brook
#

Is Diadem meant to be soloed? Or is it a party thing?

faint flare
#

Soloed

#

Parties do nothing

last brook
#

I remember way back when it came out, I thought it was a party place.

faint flare
#

Its just a gathering zone

#

The OG diadem was a combat thing

last brook
#

oh

fading aurora
#

I'm on this quest but what am I supposed to do?

#

How do I unlock them

faint flare
#

A Recurring problem

#

In the waking sands

#

That quest chain

fading aurora
#

How do I fix it

leaden ginkgo
#

Btw, can I buy an ishgard solder armor in the game?

fading aurora
#

I Wana continue my msq

faint flare
#

Go do the quest chain

#

A Recurring problem

#

In the waking sands

#

To unlock them

fading aurora
#

Oh the way u said it I thought it was a bug

modest igloo
#

you should also be doing the crystal tower raids for later story stuff

patent shuttle
#

Can you change your name in this game?

faint flare
#

For money

remote lintel
#

for 10 usd

#

@leaden ginkgo yes

#

theres a bunch of models

Ah man! Machinist cannot wear them. 😟

remote lintel
#

theyre all for tanks and dragoon

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

No

#

Can't cross role glamour

boreal storm
#

If you’re a tank or dragoon

leaden ginkgo
#

Doh! 👎🏿

#

I miss 1.0 for that.

modest igloo
#

i dont lol

leaden ginkgo
#

I just hit lvl 70. To reach lvl 80, I need to get shadowbringers?

manic flare
#

you can perfectly r each level 80 without ShB

faint flare
#

If you dont own it

manic flare
#

oh nvm

faint flare
#

If you dont own Shadowbringers you'll be xp capped

manic flare
#

i thought you meant be in ShB

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks

frozen wind
#

This isnt techically a ingame question but

#

Are ysthola and runnar

#

dating

remote lintel
#

no

frozen wind
#

or at the very least heavily implied to be dating or a thing or at least runnar really likes her

remote lintel
#

runar has a crush on her

frozen wind
#

I KNEW IT

modest igloo
remote lintel
#

its not really that deep

#

and they tell you in the msq

frozen wind
#

They blatently did?

faint flare
#

And kinda obvious

frozen wind
#

I thought it was an implcation thing

remote lintel
#

yes, during 5.3

frozen wind
#

wait during which MSQ

#

im at the one where I just unlocked the twinning

remote lintel
#

the twinning is a side quest

modest igloo
#

well yeah, do more story and you'll see

remote lintel
#

finish 5.3

fading aurora
#

@faint flare do I need all 3 of the dungeons done?

#

Or just q

#

1#

modest igloo
#

all 3 trials yeah

fading aurora
#

Are all 3 quests in the same place?

faint flare
#

Its a chain

#

They lead to the next

fading aurora
#

I did the bowl of embers one

#

And nothing else was given

faint flare
#

You need to actually do Ifirit hard and garuda hard to get to the next

#

Like go into the duty and do it

fading aurora
#

I'm in que for it

nocturne void
#

What is the optimal "dance partner" for Dancers to choose? Tank, melee dps?

manic flare
faint flare
#

Once the duty is complete the next appears

fading aurora
#

@nocturne void the highest dps

fading aurora
#

Because it gives them 5% damage buff

twilit arch
faint flare
#

Preferably the highest dps/most geared

frozen wind
#

I think ill avoid it to avoid spoilers

#

since i found out im getting more context to ysthola and runars relationship

manic flare
modest igloo
twilit arch
#

@nocturne void

#

except in this situation there really isn't anything more to it

nocturne void
nocturne void
modest igloo
#

the balance is where that is

sage mist
#

Hello everyone 🙂

#

I've recently cleared 5.0 and want to know whats the best way to start running extremes w/o pissing off party members while learning?

modest igloo
#

put practice in the title

faint flare
#

Watch guides and do learning parties

remote lintel
#

get better gear, watch a guide beforehand, join parties specifically for learning the fight

faint flare
#

And know your job

remote lintel
#

and know your opener and rotation yeah

sage mist
#

Ahhhh ok... I play WHM and I can create PF and just put 'Learning' in the title

faint flare
#

Yes. Say what point you're at

#

Like learning from start

#

Or phase X

sage mist
#

Thats cool. I've wanna run the Eden extremes. But is their content I should be good in beforehand?

remote lintel
#

those arent extreme

#

those are savage

sage mist
#

Oh... are they easier?

modest igloo
#

nope

remote lintel
#

no, they are harder

faint flare
#

Harder

sage mist
#

LMAO

#

FAK

#

lol

modest igloo
#

harder, esp on content

faint flare
#

Normal > extreme > savage >>>>> ultimates

sage mist
warm snow
#

Way harder

remote lintel
#

just do EX first if youre unsure of your abilities

#

diamond is pretty easy i heard

modest igloo
#

you should also get 510 gear from the MB

warm snow
#

The 5.3 extreme would be a light savage

#

Imho

faint flare
#

All the weapons have been very easy

sage mist
#

I have Exarchic gear now

remote lintel
#

you can join a static if you want a more consistent group of people to prog with

modest igloo
#

nice, you can also upgrade to 520 in eulmore with it and allegory

remote lintel
#

instead of relying on randos

warm snow
#

Most people aren't doing the the first 8 Eden savages. Most are doing the last 4. And you can't unlock those until you've finished the msq up to 5.3

sage mist
void cargo
#

So what do you use gil for? You use other currencies to get high level gear and the gil just sits there in my pocket...

remote lintel
#

look in the recruitment channel

warm snow
remote lintel
#

although most statics do savage

warm snow
#

Or the 2 fuck off expensive mounts they just added

#

25 million and 50 million gil per

sage mist
hollow briar
#

I'll ask here finally because I plan on actually starting the open beta tonight

#

Why would you potentially play Monk over Ninja and vice versa?

remote lintel
#

because you like monk

faint flare
#

Because you enjoy it

warm snow
#

You can't start as rogue/ninja

faint flare
#

And are better at it

hollow briar
warm snow
#

I'm saying that as a reason why

remote lintel
#

you like to do punchy punchy instead of stabby stabby

hollow briar
#

But if I choose one I'd like to commit instead of flip flopping alot

sage mist
#

From my understanding Monk has more positional abilities right?

remote lintel
#

correct

modest igloo
#

way more

hollow briar
remote lintel
#

but its simpler than ninja imo

warm snow
#

Monk is 90% positionals

modest igloo
#

NIN has 2, MNK has like 7?

faint flare
#

6

warm snow
#

Ninja is only 50%

faint flare
#

Ninja has 2, 3 every 60s

hollow briar
#

What's played more?

warm snow
#

Ninja

#

I think

modest igloo
#

not that it matters that much

twilit arch
#

there's no way to tell that accurately

warm snow
#

!faq meta

zinc orbitBOT
#
How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

modest igloo
#

mnk and nin do the same amount of damage at endgame

sage mist
#

Ninja is probably an easier character. But Monk takes a bit different skills. Really it just depends on how you wanna play

hollow briar
#

I keep forgetting that this game is like...super balanced which is so weird and new to me

warm snow
#

It doesn't matter what job you play cuz meta command

hollow briar
#

Because I always have a problem of wanting to take the lower tier things and competing with them and showing some sort of potential with them

remote lintel
#

just play them both 4head

void cargo
warm snow
hollow briar
#

I mean I very well might in the future. I'd just rather prefer to commit to one why I learn and start to understand the game

remote lintel
#

actually

#

if youre going to start on an exp boosted server you could level them both up at the same time by doing msq

#

because youll get tons of exp, way more than what 1 class needs

hollow briar
#

Wuts msq

faint flare
#

Story

remote lintel
#

main story quest

warm snow
#

Main scenario quests

faint flare
#

Which is mandatory

modest igloo
#

the main thing you'll be doing for like 120 hours

warm snow
#

This is a final fantasy game first, mmo second

modest igloo
#

its required to raid

hollow briar
#

120 hours? Pftt. I'll cut that to 90

#

Probably not

warm snow
#

So EVERYTHING is locked behind progressing msq

hollow briar
#

But 😂

modest igloo
#

no, 120 is the bottom limit

remote lintel
#

youll have enough exp to level both classes just by doing story

modest igloo
#

most people take 200

hollow briar
#

LMFAO JESUS

sage mist
#

You can buy the story skip

faint flare
#

Its 4 games worth

#

So

remote lintel
#

story skip isnt recommended for your first character

sage mist
#

But the story is really good

hollow briar
#

My buddy made me aware of some tower thing? I forget wtf it's called but he said it's another way to level at least after you finish the story

remote lintel
#

probably talking about heaven on high

#

its just an alternate leveling method

#

because its like an endless dungeon

hollow briar
#

Yea he said it's like level based or something

#

Or complete a floor, move to the next

faint flare
#

61-70 required

remote lintel
#

yes

faint flare
#

100 floors

#

Get xp every 10

remote lintel
#

people use it for alt classes

hollow briar
#

Well I'm probably gonna be trying the game tonight so we'll see

#

If I end up not liking either but get high enough I may end up going for Dark Knight 😂

modest igloo
#

hoh won't be available for a while for ya

hollow briar
#

Assumed

remote lintel
#

yes join the dark knight army

modest igloo
#

MCH gang

hollow briar
#

I will eventually anyways

#

Considering I'm a sucker for both Dark and Holy classes

remote lintel
#

then you gotta get paladin too

hollow briar
#

Oh I probably will be 😂

remote lintel
#

get all the classes

hollow briar
#

Usually I play support classes

vernal urchin
#

You can start as paladin and then switch to dark knight when you get to the area you unlock it

hollow briar
#

Whether it be tank or just dps with support aspects

remote lintel
#

bard and dancer are both dps with supporting abilities

#

although dancer requires you to own the dlc

hollow briar
#

I was considering Bard originally but I'm also not big into archery classes

#

When I think Bard

#

I'm thinking like EQ Bard or Guild Wars Bard

#

And meh

undone matrix
#

Stats for black mage?

vernal urchin
#

Paladin has some decent support abilities as well

hollow briar
#

Lots of defense utilities and a heal 😛

#

I'll be playing it in the future

leaden ginkgo
#

Man I want that Ishgard armor....I will have to lvl up dragoon. I could do warrior but I dont like tanking unless they have the trust system for lower levers.

remote lintel
#

you dont use the heal

faint flare
#

A heal which isn't used

remote lintel
#

in group content at least

hollow briar
#

Just rather not start on tank when I start the game

#

I'd rather not be responsible for group wipes 😂

faint flare
#

Unless people are trash

warm snow
remote lintel
#

tanking is really easy in this game

faint flare
#

Tanking is one of the easiest roles in the game

manic flare
remote lintel
#

its unlikely youll cause an entire wipe in casual content

warm snow
#

I admittedly use the pld heal in diamond ex during the phae change

modest igloo
#

dungeons are not hard in this game

warm snow
#

Mostly cuz I have a ton of downtime

manic flare
#

there is very little punishment for wiping in this game

manic flare
remote lintel
#

anyone could cause a wipe in casual content

undone matrix
#

@warm snow I heard rotations depend on the spell speed of black mage? I'm just look for which stats I should put in for black mage

faint flare

!faq Balance

zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
#

Go here

remote lintel
#

most of the time its actually the dps that are supposed to prevent a wipe

warm snow
#

Yeah

remote lintel
#

because they need to hit a dps check

#

or else everyone dies

hollow briar
#

Ima wonder why I'm getting hit for all my health

#

"Oh thats a tank buster"

#

Or whatever tf it's called

faint flare
#

thinking busters hurt

remote lintel
#

just use defensives

faint flare
#

Lol

manic flare
#

what's difference between a cleave and a tank buster?

vernal urchin
#

You don't see tank busters until much later in the game anyway

hollow briar
#

😳

faint flare
#

Cleaves are AoE

modest igloo
#

when do tank busters even show up? lvl 50?

faint flare
#

There's some under 50

#

Just instant cast

remote lintel
#

cleaves are an aoe directed at the main tank, tank busters are usually single target

warm snow
#

Tank busters aren't a danger outside of higher end content like extremes and savages

hollow briar
#

I mean I've heard in a vid that healers are usually the most important in a group

#

If they're trash than you're doomed

remote lintel
#

thats not true

#

every role is equally responsible in high end content

#

every role is required to do something to prevent wipes

#

whatever that something is depends on the role

warm snow
#

In casual content a bad healer won't usually wipe you but it can make it excruciating

manic flare
#

why are new players so touchy when i try to pull off wall to wall pulls?

remote lintel
#

because theyre new?

hollow briar
#

When you choose a server does it specify say it's xp boosted?

warm snow
#

No

warped nest
#

It will have a star

faint flare
#

Its starred

#

If it is

remote lintel
#

in character creation the preferred worlds are starred

warm snow
#

!faq preferredworlds

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

No tag named preferredworlds exists, Kupo!

hollow briar
#

Can you switch later?

#

Assuming no?

remote lintel
#

no

hollow briar
#

Or $$$

faint flare
#

With money

warm snow
#

For the exp boost no

hollow briar
#

Of course 😂

warped nest
#

You can switch, but you don't get boost

warm snow
#

In general for $$$

hollow briar
#

Well yea I ment for starting though

#

Because I do have buddies I'll end up playing with

warm snow
#

But if you're just starting out you can just as easily create a new character on that server

warped nest
#

You can make new characters on different world, yes

vernal urchin
#

If you have friends playing already, get on their server ideally

hollow briar
#

I say this...But I'm not sure if I'm even going to buy the game 😂

remote lintel
#

you should all just try to get on the same world

#

and do it on off hours

hollow briar
#

Uh

warped nest
#

Unless you and you friend plan to make a guild

#

Playing in the same data center (collection of World) will work too

hollow briar
#

We probably would or end up joining the same

warped nest
#

Fair

remote lintel
#

just note that if you do buy the game and want to be in the same guild as your friends, you must all have started on the same world

hollow briar
#

We've known eachother for like...3 years at least

leaden hedge
#

Is it possible to get the ocean fishing boat shark mount at 55 fishing? 😄

hollow briar
#

remote lintel
#

@leaden hedge yes

faint flare
#

But yes

#

Need to use those bonuses

twilit arch
#

if you get really lucky with rainbows, yeah

leaden hedge
#

Awwww dam haha, what level would you say is more decent?

remote lintel
#

80

faint flare
#

Double hook hekps

twilit arch
#

65 at the very least

#

because you'll get double hook

hollow briar
#

Sounds good. I'll probably just start on the same server he's on

faint flare
#

Then 80 so you can double hook 3 times per spectral

manic flare
#

is double hook a class quest locked skill?

twilit arch
#

yes

manic flare
#

damn. i was able to level my min/btn and 4 of my crafters to 80 without doing any quests

#

guess i can't avoid it forever

#

Oh! Gunbrealer can w wear that ishgard armor! I just be a gunbreaker and lvl up solo with the trust system! Muhahahah!

remote lintel

I'm level 54 Warrior but only level 34 MSQ should I keep playing the MSQ with my Warrior or level up another class?

i would recommend leveling another one

I am lvl 70

manic flare
remote lintel
#

unless you meant you have a lvl 70 gnb

#

@manic flare the ones that the npcs in ishgard wear

manic flare
#

u mean the templar armor?

#

or the knight commander armor

leaden ginkgo
#

templar.

manic flare
#

oh that's from stone vigil

remote lintel
#

theres multiple models but yes

#

they didnt have a tank or drg to wear it

manic flare
#

yea, also aurum vale has a variant, and i think dzemael has a variant too

#

and some level 50 dungeons have it, under the name vermillion armor

#

not sure which variant is the dyable version

#

if you want the palette that has the ishgardian military colors, then t he variant from dzemael darkhold dungeon is the one you want

warped nest
#

For future reference, you can look up for armors in Garlandtools (website)

#

And if they share model with different armor, they will have a subsection informing you about other armors

#

You might just find what you needed

ok im literally sad and pissed right now , i bought all pecific crafter job gear put it in the dresser but all my crafters have the same gear equiped so when i switch jobs it resets the look to the original look of the gear -.-

remote lintel
#

did you link them to glamour plates

solid fog
#

yes

#

i have every crafter to each plate

remote lintel
#

and when you switch classes it's not applying the plate?

solid fog
#

so i quip my carpenter then i click on the glamour dresser i dress him then i switch jobs and it resets T_T

remote lintel
#

when you switch classes it should automatically apply the plate

raven sage
#

Did you link the plates or just make them?

limber parcel
#

Hope this is the right channel, I'm on the Light data center, just wondering which server i should go for?

remote lintel
#

you dont need the dresser

solid fog
#

it shows me this triangle red icon

from what i could find via google, Phoenix is the highest pop one, but Lich and Zodiark are offering an Exp bonus for new players

!faq worldpick

Which world should I pick?

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)

hi I just reached level 80 while my MSQ is still level 76. my other two classes are SAM and BRD at lv 70, yall think it's worth leveling one of those to 76 or should i just finish the MSQ? is the MSQ xp worth it?

remote lintel
#

if you linked your glamour plates then you dont need to click apply

#

screenshot your gearsets

raven sage
#

it doesn't sound like he linked them

slate arrow
#

sounds like you're using a BSM exclusive gearset for glam

raven sage
#

Yes that's the point

twilit arch
#

if you linked the plates it would look like this in the gearset menu

remote lintel
#

theyre trying to use specific sets for each glam

raven sage
#

He bought class specific gears

slate arrow
#

then yeah, you need to use gearsets

solid fog
#

wait what is that

#

how do i do that O_O

remote lintel
#

ok so you didnt link them

#

open your gear sets and make a gear set for each crafter

#

then right click each gear set and click link to glamour plate and link the glamour you want

#

for each set

How accurate is this?

Zodiark is light ?

theyre both populated

Its untrue that one data center is less popular

at r15 its closer to 70k

I see

#

Nah

#

I'm a healer

little swift
#

do your daily roulettes and do maps

ripe hound
#

Right I mean if you are combat

olive totem
#

Maps?

remote lintel
#

treasure maps

olive totem
#

I do the roulettes

little swift
#

8-man treasure maps have rare materials

#

that can be sold

olive totem
#

Ah

little swift
#

also maps give money for completing them

#

there's not really a use for gil though so no need to be hankering for gil

And a bunch of rando mats and materia

#

For extra cash

ripe hound
#

Yeah, if you don’t need money don’t farm money

#

For someone brand new to PotD, I probably can’t find people to party with cause I’m free trial. But what kind of exp earned can I be expecting while starting out?

I want those glamors in the market that's worth millions

Right now, I'm about 200-400k fluctuating

If I often afk for longer than 3 month, I should not get into housing right?

or you can ask to be a tenant in someone’s house

Hunting logs

fallen axle

I know I use those too but even then

remote lintel
#

fates

faint flare
#

They pretty much take you all the way there

#

With a few fates to cap off

#

Potd xp isn't great until post 15 cause the time investment

robust crow
#

get a friend to powerlevel you

#

preferably a scholar

#

same way you powerlevel a blue mage

#

works great till 15

strong saddle
#

Why scholar

faint flare
#

Shields

robust crow
#

because their shield is easy and their ruin 2 is instant cast

#

it works with ast too but it's way shittier

#

because ast can only cast while moving for like 15 seconds

fallen axle
#

I’ve been running fates

livid oriole
#

i made my character way too tall with the fantasia from 2.0 msq lmao

#

no way to change it without spending 10 buckers?

faint flare
#

Nope

livid oriole
#

sad

robust crow
#

the rule of fantasia

#

make an alt first

#

and save your preset

polar hound
#

^ lesson learned

robust crow
#

apply it to your alt

#

and fuckle about for 15 minutes so you don't run into something like that

open ember
#

Or do it on a retainer

#

Retainer fantasia is real cheap

remote lintel
#

i made like 5 alts to test out voices to make sure i would pick a good one

ripe hound
#

Yeah but you can’t fuck around with retainers

#

And yeah voices

#

I’m thinking about Fantasia now simply because my catgirl sounds weird

thats just how catgirls be

It shouldnt unless you swapped gear

I go back to a city i change job and the glam works fine, but when im outside and i change ajob the glam resets to teh og look

Because the new plate can't apply

So ff14’s end game content is also fashion? lol

remote lintel

because you have class specific gear that isnt compatible

so it cant show it

Any game with a good appearance system and good skins will end up as an endgame focus.

faint flare
#

If you're outside a city, you can't apply a glamour plate so the glamour fails

remote lintel

because you have class specific gear that isnt compatible so it cant show it
@solid fog

And uses what the gear was glamoured before

crafting and gathering have different sets

You can do a lot with the glamour system here, but it has limits.

dont use class specific gear if you dont want that problem

Do things I can Glamour only Glamour into armor i have picked up or only armor that is currently in my inventory?

no i want everyone to look unique

you can have different glamours without using class specific gear

Also how do I unsummon chocobo

omg even when i go outside as a gatherer and change to another gatherer job it resets the look

thats how class specific gear is

just make glamour plates work outside boom

#

The gear itself is having it's Mesh changed, it's not an image

#

Alot of basic things we can't have are cause of really ancieny shitty spaghetti code

So when you swap to another job, the look goes with it

#

I'm having trouble wording it lol

at least changing crafter to crafter or atherer to crafter outside is not that common so.....

#

But i will sometime change from gatherer to gatherer

manic flare
slate arrow
#

we didn't say the connection was shitty

#

just the servers

#

those are not mutually tied toegther

solid fog
#

the only option is to buy the same gear i have on my gatherer x3 times

slate arrow
faint flare
#

The servers are stuck together with normal tape and pritstick

You can also link Glamour Plates to each Gear Set so Jobs that use the same items can have different looks, but again, that'll only work if you change jobs in a Capitol.

that is my biggest pet peeve

Just link plates and live with it not working in the overworld. That’s the only solution.

the underlying infrastructure is stable, but flawed

due to the rush job of 2.0

@nocturne void the dresser is the glamour storage, the plates are for applying many glamours at once

I'll take stable but flawed over that hack job that Fo76 turned out to be.

tl;dr instead of going "but what if I could put in this feature" yoship kept them to a strict schedule and told them "no crunching for improvements, just make sure it passes QA and doesn't cause major errors, and it'll be fine"

how does stability of FFXIv compare to WoW and other mmos?

slate arrow
#

dunno, I don't play WoW

of its servers or players?

servers are good though now

i load in like an instant

like WoW probably wouldn't have talked about the Resplendent tool glitch that was patched up last maintenence

#

they are p decent as far as i could tell

Our expansion and patch launches are more stable than WoW’s in general.

FFXIV devs "hey, we fucked up" literally asap once it was found

All in Japan.

Really, damb

jade quartz
#

Overseas offices are just community team people.

and/or localization people

jade quartz

Even localisation happens in Japan, in-office.

did they remove the tools for the ppl who did it ?

slate arrow

no, because it was their fuck up
