from lv 17 onwards, what's the best way to level up a 2ndary job?

strong saddle
#

Okay

obsidian patio

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
vital ruin
#

Still not working :/

#

Is it wrong

slate arrow
#

oh, reflect needs a wait.3

#

as it's an action and not a buff

vital ruin
#

But it reads reflect

#

Only waste not doesn't execute

slate arrow
#

reflect does an animation

obsidian patio
#

yes that's the issue

slate arrow
#

reflect's animation is wait.3

#

you're getting animation locked

vital ruin
#

So when do I wait.3 and wait.2

slate arrow
#

wait.3 usually when your character does something on the workbench

#

wait.2 is when your character raises the item for a buff

vital ruin
#

Ohh

obsidian patio
#

main exception is Observe

#

which needs a wait 3

vital ruin
#

I c I c thanks

vital ruin

It worked :D

slate arrow
#

๐ŸŽ‰

candid ruin
#

leveling up crafting disciplines on free trial will take long? U will only be able to use ingredients you can gather by yourself right?

slate arrow
#

not too badly assuming you also level gatherers and use the ishgard resto

candid ruin
#

ishgard resto is an npc?

obsidian patio
#

it's content as with it's own crafting and gathering materials

#

it's a self-contained area that makes it easy to get materials for the recipes near your level

candid ruin
#

ohh great thanks, i will check it out

wanton lintel
#

How do I add a hat to my chocobo mount

agile laurel
#

once you've completed a certain point of post-heavensward MSQ, a blue quest will appear near the main aetheryte in Foundation

agile laurel
obsidian patio
agile laurel
#

btw you do need to acquire bardings

obsidian patio
#

you can get more bardings by crafting them or by buying them from the marketboard

wanton lintel
#

Barding ?

obsidian patio
#

it's what chocobos wear

wanton lintel
#

I see

slate arrow
#

By default, you only have the default chocobo saddle, and your Grand Company's initial barding to pick as an outfit.

#

You unlock more via Grand Companies, crafting, or other side content most of the time.

agile laurel
#

there's a barding styled after like 95% of the trial battles in the game

#

various others related to leveling your chocobo's skills

#

some from other varied sources

#

worth checking the market board

#

and then inquiring off of that

wanton lintel
#

Ok

#

Thanks

agile laurel
#

bardings are also comprised of 3 parts, so you can mix and match.

obsidian patio
#

my chocobo, as an example

final salmon
#

hi guys, sorry i'm new to housing, and trying to get some ideas here and there, i cant find this kind of furnishing that allows to add more table tops on it, anyone knows the name?

wanton lintel
#

Cool

final salmon
#

ah crap it's something u have to buy with real money :/ tyvm Wynne

agile laurel
#

if you're not too kept on the style, you can likely just construct something similar with other items

#

it'll impact your item limit but you can definitely use other blocks to construct some tiered shelving

shrewd mirage
#

Can people send friend requests to me even if iโ€™m not online/ingame? and i Can accept it later or

slate arrow
#

no

shrewd mirage
#

awww thx for answerin

final salmon
candid ruin
#

can i play 3.0 patches on free trial?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

3.0 is heavensward

candid ruin
#

i mean 3.1 3.2 3.3

faint flare
#

Yee

#

It's still a part of heavensward

proud willow
#

we usually call those 3.X, and they are included with the trial

candid ruin
#

ohh okay, great

#

thx

flint kernel
#

is it harder to upgrade zodiac weapons compare to anima weapons ?

slate arrow
#

yes

jade quartz
#

Zodiac weapons have some very annoying steps, chiefly the atma > animus books

high otter
#

||Is Y'Shtola blind after aether travel? So she's like Daredevil now โ€” sees the world via aether, but not with her own eyes?||

jade quartz
#

Anima weapons are mostly just poetics grind which is pretty low effort

Is there a cheat-sheet with images that explains what the icons next to monsters are?

agile laurel

#

How do I earn Crafting Scripts?

wintry chasm
#

Custom deliveries and collectable turn ins

pearl mesa
#

Turn in collectible items. You'll need a crafter class at least level 50, and then there's a small quest in Revenant's Toll that explains it.

crystal bluff
#

Custom deliveries and collectables

green grail
rich bay
next dove
#

how to get Rebel Coat?

faint flare
#

Craft it from mats from zonureskin maps

pearl mesa
#

It's a high-level Weaver craft.

#

Buy it or get a weaver at lv 80 and craft it yourself.

rich bay
#

Yep, the level 80 maps for materials.

Rebel Coat is an M7 WVR craft.

next dove
#

fastest way to get the materials required?

#

there are lot of them

faint flare
#

Spend alot of money on the market board

#

Or just straight buy the coat

#

Otherwise just go do maps

#

They're fun and you get a good amount of money out of it

lilac flume
#

you can die as many times as you want in DR normal right?

#

just dr savage with restrictions

slate arrow
#

yep

glossy flare
#

Assuming you clear eventually before the timer runs out, yes

pearl mesa
#

It still drops your mettle, but you can be revived and all.

lilac flume
#

does dr savage have any story associated or is it just "hey heres this crystal with MODIFIED MEMORIES" like other savages

slate arrow
#

The latter, except it's you going over the script with the editor

pearl mesa
#

...script?

#

Are they making a play?

leaden ginkgo
#

Hello, I plan to buy a weapon skin~ Is the skin appliable indefinitely, like if I change my weapon at some point, can I reapply the skin WITHOUT buying the skin again ? Or will I have to buy the skin again to apply it ?

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

yoo, im new and from New Zealand, wondering which servers most AU/NZ people play on apart from japan because alot of the NA ones have big queues

slate arrow
#

tonberry and Kujaka

#

oh you mean on NA

#

well they're all in the same place in california so

#

ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah - JP ping is nuts

glossy flare
#

JP ping should be way better than NA for you

leaden ginkgo
#

i ping it with cmd and it was 300ms but NA was 150ms, ty for helping tho

fiery ginkgo
#

How does "Further Ruination" work?

#

I do egi assault1/2 but sometimes it doesn't give me a further ruin stack. (i'm pretty sure I witnessed Ifrit doing the command)

glossy flare
#

What level are you?

fiery ginkgo
#

62

#

I HAVE casted ruin IV. Just it some reason doesn't give me stacks.

glossy flare
#

then only egi assault I will grant further ruin stacks for now

faint flare
#

Are you being synced down

glossy flare
#

you'll get further ruin stacks for egi assault 2 at 74

fiery ginkgo
#

Oh, do I need to be a higher level to get stacks from egi 2?

glossy flare
#

yes

fiery ginkgo
#

wack. Thanks for the help

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You only have Ea1 until 74

#

Makes 70 smn wack

fiery ginkgo
#

it seems so far but I'm enjoying the story of heavensward. I can wait

glossy flare
#

not like you'd have any content where you can be 62 anyway then

vital ruin
#

Okay so I unlocked the first stage of resistance weapon
How do I progress questline

glossy flare
#

at which quest are you?

faint flare
#

Do bojza in the southern front

vital ruin
#

How

faint flare
#

Which requires 5.1 done

vital ruin
#

Oh

glossy flare
#

^

fiery ginkgo
#

Yeah, figured I'd pool all my MSQ exp into SMN because faster i get it to 80 the easier it'll be to level off classes.

#

"The Wyrm's lair" . Heavensward Spoilers ahead: ||Iceheart realized she's not actually Shiva and Hresvaelgr basically shattered her faith||

hollow briar
#

How does SMN play? Complicated at all?

vital ruin
#

Lul

fiery ginkgo
#

I've heard it's the easiest class in the game.

vital ruin
#

Lmao

fiery ginkgo
#

seems pretty simple so far at 62

faint flare
#

It's alot to juggle

glossy flare
#

It's one of the more complex, yet strangely easy job at the same time?

#

Very long rotation

faint flare
#

It's not the easiest job, no one says that

vital ruin
#

It's one of the most complex jobs

heavy wadi
#

smn is more complex than most jobs, lol

fiery ginkgo
#

Drop AIDS. Spread AIDS. Juggle OCDs and GCDs. Manage charges and your summon's position.

glossy flare
#

Long rotation but it all fits together nicely so I'd say above average in terms of complexity?

heavy wadi

The two minute cycle by Edyis Darkbane and Elevation Xx (Faerie)
faint flare
#

Gotta memorise all that

upper cove
#

Question as a ps4 free trial player. If I purchase the game but don't download it, can I continue playing the free trial?

hollow briar
#

I remember when I looked into FFXIV before Shadowbringers it was supposedly insanely complex and at the time it was the only job that appealed to me so because of that I never got into the game lol

glossy flare
#

It's definitely fun to summon big pets to make things explode

fiery ginkgo
#

I'm a sucker for any summoner-based class in any game i play so kinda fit naturally

hollow briar
#

It just limits you

worthy basin
#

what's the best goodies to bring inside bozja while grinding there?

upper cove
#

@hollow briar dang ok got it. Thought there was some workaround since it seems like a different client

faint flare
#

Relic memories, clusters to buy stuff like mounts, emote and hair, lockboxes have glamour and a mount in

fiery ginkgo
#

enhanced bane looks..silly.

#

but lv 78 seems so far away lol

faint flare
#

Makes aoe slightly less ass

fiery ginkgo
#

I should stop looking at the later traits

vital ruin
#

SMN is like a high effort high reward job

faint flare
#

Just bane chain dots

fiery ginkgo
#

with bane+ doesn't this mean i no longer cast miasma + bio?

hollow briar
faint flare
#

No

#

You still need to apply them

hollow briar
#

So having the full game just unlocks access to other things. Full game is already downloaded

faint flare
#

It just you don't really have to constantly apply them in trash pulls

#

Since you can just bane off a different target to refresh other dots

fiery ginkgo
#

OH right it doesn't reset the timer for the original target

#

Honest mistake

vital ruin
#

On a scale of 1-10 how difficult is memoria misera ex
I wanna farm the mats

faint flare
#

Eh like a 6

hollow briar
#

I mean I'm not scared of complexity as long as the complexity is worth it

vital ruin
#

Ooh a 6

faint flare
#

Has more mechanics than the weapons together

upper cove
#

@hollow briar yep totally understood. Thabks for your clarification.

vital ruin
#

Damn the normal was very simple

hollow briar
#

I was attracted to NIN and BRD because of their "complexity" but really NIN seems easy once Ninjustu's are learned and BRD's complexity seems just from high APM and keeping track of multiple oGCD's

faint flare
#

Extreme is mostly Normal mode but remove the aoe markers

vital ruin
#

So like dragoon lv 80 job has 5 pieces
Do I have to do memoria 5 times?

faint flare
#

It drops 3 coffers and gives 2 totems

#

And it's like 5 totems max to buy a piece

vital ruin
#

Ohh

#

What do I do with the coffer

faint flare
#

You open it

#

On the job you want

vital ruin
#

I'm confused

pine onyx
#

Isn't bard pretty easy?

faint flare
#

It's like any gear offer you got for the story

#

It gives you gear for the job you open it on

worthy basin
vital ruin
#

Do I get the idealist set via the totems or coffer

faint flare
#

Both

vital ruin
#

I c

faint flare
#

The totems buy the coffers

vital ruin
#

Oh

faint flare
#

If you fail at winning rolls

#

Totems are pity system in extreme

vital ruin
#

Goddamnit rolls again MiqoteDepressed

hollow briar
#

What is DoT clipping?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say....reapplying dots when time is still left?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You clipped your dots

fiery ginkgo
#

3s for bio/miasma and 1s for tri-disaster right

hollow briar
#

Gotcha ok. Went to The Balance discord to look at stuff about SMN

faint flare
#

As late as possible but yes

#

Unless you're doing the 110s cycle then you intentionally clip at one point

agile laurel
#

Dot clipping causes issues because you lose time on dots before your next reset. Also, dots applied under buffs deal bonus damage throughout, so canceling them early is bad

old ivy
#

Anyone with some nice UI layout ๐Ÿ™‚ that wants to share ๐Ÿ™‚ looking for some nice ideas

agile laurel
#

Plus, clipping early likely messes up your timings with tridis.

old ivy
#

sorry

#

๐Ÿ™‚

#

thanks

hollow briar
#

Ok another thing because I keep seeing references about it. Do dots you have applied not get amplified by buffs you get after dot cast?

agile laurel
#

No

#

Only buffs at the time of application

faint flare
#

Everything snapshots in the game

#

It snapshots at the end of the abilities cast

hollow briar
#

So that's why people recommend to Iron Jaws BRD's dots after you Raging >_>

faint flare
#

Yes

agile laurel
#

Yep

primal ermine
#

When do you refresh dia as a whm?

hollow briar
#

Good to know.

hollow briar
agile laurel
faint flare
agile laurel
#

Refreshing healer dots too early takes a toll on your MP and is overall just a badly used gcd

faint flare
#

Snapshot takes a picture of everything in that moment...all buffs and debuffs and applies the appropriate damage

rose oak
#

whats the command for the quest in shadowbringer to see if im missing something

hollow briar
agile laurel
#

at that, just overwrite

fiery ginkgo
#

Miasma has a 2.5s Cast time anyway

agile laurel
#

It's only at large measures where clipping is a massive loss

fiery ginkgo
#

so casting at 3s won't lose you DPS

agile laurel
#

Well, tridisaster doesn't.

hollow briar
#

Well I'm talking from Bards standpoint currently

#

But more so just DoTs in general

agile laurel
#

Overall, it's best to overwrite by a second or so than to lose ticks of damage

#

But it's an admittedly small thing

hollow briar
#

But Bard is also blessed to be able to reapply both at the same time

fiery ginkgo
agile laurel
#

Just make sure you're also not losing usages of tridisaster

fiery ginkgo
#

or is my MP better spent elsewhere?

hollow briar
#

But hell. If SMN is DoT heavy I might have to consider getting into it. I always have loved DoT heavy classes

agile laurel
#

Smn isn't really dot heavy, it's just... have the dots

fiery ginkgo
agile laurel
#

removing the dots doesn't really affect it much, besides making you bad

hollow briar
#

Ah.

fiery ginkgo
#

Fester's dummy good to not use dots for

hollow briar
#

I was assuming 3-4+

agile laurel
#

Nope. Just 2.

fiery ginkgo
#

(fester has 100 + 100 potency per bio+miasma you inflict and it does NOT trigger GCD)

hollow briar
#

Same as Bard ๐Ÿ˜ญ

fiery ginkgo
#

not to mention like i said, you won't put much thought into it

#

you drop miasma and bio immediately in the fight and then not think about it again. add bane if tank has a big pull

zinc orbitBOT
rose oak
agile laurel
#

Miasma III and such is a slightly deceiving name for newer players, because it upgrades from II, it's not an individual skill

fiery ginkgo
#

ruin II deceived me for a good while till i realized it has a lower potency than ruin 1

hollow briar
#

I just realized Burst Shot replaces Heavy Shot >_>

fiery ginkgo
#

seeing sprout arcanists spamming ruin 2 made me feel a bit better about it

agile laurel
#

If an ability reads as identical to another except better

glossy flare
#

yea, it's more of a movement tool

agile laurel
#

It probably is

glossy flare
#

and for Ruin IV ofc

fiery ginkgo
#

i rarely cast ruin 2 unless Egis are on CD

#

or i need sudden burst damage to finish something off

glossy flare
#

ideally you never cast ruin 2

#

but yea

faint flare
#

Youll end up never casting it later

agile laurel
#

R2 is a movement tool and should be avoided casting at all costs

faint flare
#

Unless you fucked up

fiery ginkgo
agile laurel
#

The only movement tool smn should afford to use is ruin 4 if you're going to overcap, or the egi assaults

#

Or bio I suppose

glossy flare
#

pre Bahamut smn is a bit weird, yea

fiery ginkgo
#

I spam Egi assaults when possible. if it's not charging, i'm losing DPS

half kraken
#

What's the recommended race chocobo feed/training manual

faint flare
#

Generally best to keep at least 1 charge of each egi

fiery ginkgo
#

^yeah that

agile laurel
#

Keeping one egi assault is OK, keeping them off cooldown is bad

fiery ginkgo
#

How do i check what I need still to enable flight in a given area?

#

Aether compass doesn't read anything.

agile laurel
#

Because yes keeping them capped fucks with your timings

fiery ginkgo
#

and i don't see shiny blue markers

glossy flare
#

travel -> aether currents

#

can check all currents you still need there

fiery ginkgo
#

thanks

#

RIP i'm 1 short

glossy flare
#

the top row is always via quests

#

bottom row is collected in the overworld

fiery ginkgo
#

got it. wonder what quest i'm short of. I don't see any shiny blue markers

glossy flare
#

one is always via msq

agile laurel
#

Could be MSQ.

glossy flare
#

usually the last quest in a given zone

fiery ginkgo
#

probably is MSQ

pearl mesa
#

Is it the last one listed on the row? If it's that, it's probably the last story quest for the zone.

glossy flare
#

so the earliest point you can unlock flight for a zone is when the MSQ is done with that zone

pearl mesa
#

I think the only one that doesn't work that way is Lakeland in Shadowbringers, and it's not long before the end of the quest chain that you unlock flight.

upper cove
#

Azys la also unlocks very shortly before you finish it

devout lichen
#

when do people use mantra on monk cuz it seems very situational

faint flare
#

On raid wides to help the healers

slate arrow
#

usually right before big raidwides

#

or earlier if you want shields up

leaden ginkgo
#

if i leveled up in aether in adamantoise can i transfer to leviathan or something later?

faint flare
#

With money yes

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks

faint flare
#

18 dollars for a full transfer

uneven kernel
#

When I do a quest and unlock an Aether Current does my regular ground mount speed increase?

glossy flare
#

no

#

and you need all aether currents for a given zone to unlock flying

#

Which is always at max speed however

uneven kernel
#

gotcha ๐Ÿ™‚ thanks cypher!

#

I am level 55 currently, and have no access to HW yet.

wintry chasm
#

Well...I'd wait for access to HW

#

The HW gear is a MASSIVE step up from the ARR stuff

slate arrow
#

Before Heavenward it's just kinda a hassle to gear up

wintry chasm
#

If you must you can get the artisan gear from the Grand Company vendors but...that's the best you'll get

slate arrow
#

It's why everyone says just buy vendor gear because ARR you're supposed to craft and gather everything

I see. I guess time to grind those MSQ

honest igloo
#

I am a returning player, and i could vaguely remember that i needed to upgrade my account through the mogstation but i am not quite sure, is there a way to double check? (i login through steam)

alpine shadow
#

If you are going to add an expansion yes, and to upgrade from free trial.

slate arrow
#

if you're on steam you'll have to do it via Steam for starter and expansions

#

unless you're a standalone player who plays through steam

#

Yes, they're different things.

honest igloo
#

Well the thing is i remember buying HS through steam

#

And the code didn't work back then

slate arrow
#

Check your Mogstation.

#

It should say full game or full game (steam) under account type

gritty oracle
#

Rested XP can't be used and/or depleted in Eureka, Bozja, POTD and HoH, right?

honest igloo
#

It tells me Standard

slate arrow
#

Then you're standalone

honest igloo
#

So i buy the regular pc versions am i correct?

slate arrow
#

yes

honest igloo
#

Thank you very much for the big help โค๏ธ

#

Should i buy Shadowbringers right away? or level my way up to 70 first? (i am around 57/58)

slate arrow
#

up to you

honest igloo
#

Are there any benefits of me buying it?

slate arrow
#

assuming you're buying off the SE store, they usually need around a day or two for ScaleSlowFast to deliver the payment, usually

wintry chasm
#

pre-70 you'd get access to Gunbreaker and Dancer at level 60 and....access to the Shadowbringers races

#

that's it

gritty oracle
#

At what level is it wise to enter pyros?

twilit arch
#

its fine to enter pyros when you are able to

#

pagos is pretty much the only one that's recommended to enter later, since its pretty much the main one that's super annoying

hollow violet
#

How do you know when light gathering is complete here? I see the glowy-ness of the runes has has been changing and I think the arrow has moved but I don't have any real idea of my overall progress

faint flare
#

All the runes are filled

#

And the thing says it's ready

hollow violet
#

Do they stop pulsing when one is filled?

faint flare
#

The black runes fully glow when one is filled

hollow violet
#

gotcha, so I'm still under 10% there. Thanks!

twilit arch
#

that's basically an almost completed image

hollow violet
#

Going to be a lot of runs lol. I think I've done 5-6 now xD

Light grinding is one of the longer steps

People often party finder the 9th Alexander savage raid as its cheesable unsynced to farm anima light

hollow violet
#

Yeah I've been working on unlocking that - just cleared normal version of alexander's core so I think there.. 3ish more instances and then whatever I have to do to unlock the next difficutly

that bad?

#

when will 5.5 part to release?

#

any news?

slate arrow
#

with 5.55, late-ish may

glossy flare
#

late may/early june

faint flare
#

Next patch is late may

glossy flare
#

something like that

faint flare
#

So like 25th

slate arrow
#

after fanfest definitely

glossy flare
#

yeah

#

which is in 2 weeks btw

faint flare
#

dancecat fun times soon

hollow violet
#

Should I be rolling on all these pieces dropping from alexander instances or are they worthless now?

slate arrow
#

more or less worthless

faint flare
#

Outdated gear

#

Just for glamour if you want some undyeable stuff

hollow violet
#

gotcha, thanks

#

If I have fan dance 3 do I need fan dance 2 or 1?

question about chocobo coloring, hopefully i'm in the right channel, i have a list of foods he needs to change, do i keep feeding, or wait until the color changes to feed again? i did get the message that he's changing colors in 6hrs

what NPCs you recommend for an apartment?

#

they can hold 4 right?

twilit arch
#

yes, but what you put in there is going to largely depend on what you want.

slate arrow
#

melder, vendor, repairman, and wildcard

twilit arch
#

tbh wouldn't recommend a mender or melder unless you're not actively going to major cities

rancid gull

does wildcard mean a random one

yes

hi guys, is there any significant advantage if I upgrade from free trial? currently i'm almost at the end of ARR MSQ and only play solo

agile laurel

market board access.

you likely actually have the level required to unlock samurai and red mage

Dumb question but how do you see what armor you have equipped?

Was it my attitude to arr or DK story 30-60 is much more entertaining?

faint flare
#

The drk job quests are considered the best

slate arrow
#

30-50 is has a lot of lampshade hanging moments calling back to your formative quests back in ARR

faint flare
#

And the same writer did shadowbringers story

primal ermine

They're also writing for the new expac

the writer of dk job quests wrote shadowbringers as well?

yup

Reaaal beginner question sorry do i purchase the game on steam or through their client? Not sure if it even matters

slate arrow
#

both are identical but lock you into the respective client

#

if you want to buy on steam, you must buy all future expansions on steam

remote lintel
#

if you started the trial on steam you have to buy it on steam

slate arrow

if you want to buy on standalone, you can buy all future expasnions on standalone/other storefronts

that too

hello can some one help me I'm trying to buy the game but honestly summoning cthulhu is less confusing

slate arrow
#

1: what platform 2: what free trial are you on currently

royal oasis
#

PC
There is more than 1 free trial?

slate arrow
#

Standalone and Steam

#

PC is too vague.

royal oasis
#

Standalone PC

slate arrow
#

You can buy off Mogstation, the SE Store, basically any third party store that isn't steam

#

If you want to play on Steam, you need to buy off the Steam store

royal oasis
#

I just bought shadow bringers collectors edition for a good chunk of money

faint flare
#

You need starter edition as well

royal oasis
#

but It wont acsept my code

slate arrow
#

that doesn't work, as you don't own starter

faint flare
#

Just shadowbringers doesn't work

twilit arch
#

thats because you don't own the starter edition, trial does not give you ownership

faint flare
#

Cause you own nothing

slate arrow
#

tl;dr You can't redeem the expansion on a game you don't own.

royal oasis
#

ok so how do I get starter?

slate arrow
#

You buy it.

faint flare
#

Buy it

slate arrow
#

Make sure it's not the Complete edition, but yes.

royal oasis
#

ok thank you

oh, you can't buy them from merchants

#

Craft

Do dungeons with trust

heavy wadi
#

vendors and dungeons, but if you have full scaevan it should last you for a while

faint flare
#

Vendor gear is fucking GARBAGE

#

Like lv79 vendor gear is like a tiny improvement over scaevan

timber fossil
#

i got scaven on left side, but complete crap on right side.

faint flare
#

Vs actual proper gear

timber fossil
#

was thinking at least getting something not too crap for my right side before i head into the dungeons

faint flare
#

Market board if you're buying stuff

#

And make sure it's high quality

#

Normal quality stuff is trash

#

Or just go get more tomes to finish scaevan

vital ruin
#

Farm tomes get all scavian

timber fossil
#

anything is better than what i have right now tbh. right side is a mix among lv60-lv68

slate arrow
#

do you have any poetics

vital ruin
#

Wasting gil on shitty gear isn't the smartest choice imo

timber fossil

yeah, but wanna save them for ironworks for my other jobs lol

please just buy scaevan

#

Free trial goes to level 60 right? I'm getting close, lvl 50 warrior ATM but I'm doing lvl 37 MSQ story quests. My goal was to get to Samurai but I think I'll hit 60 before that. Should I grind up another job to keep going at the MSQ if I have to wait to sub?

faint flare
#

Yes and you can't get samurai on trial

#

You should definitely do another job cause you're drastically overlevelled

indigo bluff
#

Yeah I want a DPS and I read Samurai was one of the easier/selfish ones. I'm unkillable in the overworld but things take a little too long to die for my liking. Just got infuriate and things are dying much faster now. I'll try a mage then Ty

For alts should I just run around and grab every side quest I skipped + fates, and dungeons when I can for levelling?

Hey guys, was wondering which healer job you think is most interesting? I want to try being a healer, and so far iโ€™ve only tried whm

wintry chasm
#

AST has the most amount of shit going on with it but I personally prefer Scholar

faint flare
#

Scholar cause it rewards proper resource management

modest igloo
indigo bluff
faint flare
#

Even tanks do very respectable damage

#

Most of warriors damage is centres around its burst with Berserk/Inner release

indigo bluff
#

Do heals put out decent DPS? If so I'll probably level a healer

faint flare
#

Yes

#

And they're expected to

#

Otherwise you'll be afk for like 80% of the dungeon

indigo bluff
#

๐Ÿคฃ okay awesome, white mage it is

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright guess ill try ast when i get to hw, cards look sick

manic flare
#

isn't it somethnhing like tanks do 1.5 x damage of healers, and dps do 1.5x damage of tanks?

leaden ginkgo
#

Sounds about right, at least where i am all i do is aero and loop stone 2, not a bunch of damage but its something

steel hornet

Yeah all healers only have like 2 or 3 DPS skills until endgame really

modest igloo

Do you know where the merchant that sells greens (to summon chocobo) is in Limsa? I haven't been using it, gonna level him with the WHM class and hope he carries me DPS wise lol

faint flare

General merchants

#

The bird is only really good for healing

#

So you can dps more

wintry chasm

It's that one Lalafell near the main aetheryte. I forget his name

faint flare

You'll do alot more damage than the bird, which is why it's a shit tank

Okie, thanks.

With rdps calculations and such healers are practically on par to tank damage

did they updated all the peotics gears into augmented version? i didn't remember they were augmented before.

Theres no exact ratio @manic flare

faint flare

They did

I've confirmed it's not a hardware issue.

no...?

Could you be more specific?

I was in the middle of Praetorium and the game audio just stopped existing.

#

I can still hear things from other non-XIV applications, so it's not a problem with my headset.

#

And my sound settings in game haven't changed.

slate arrow
#

Sounds like FFXIV's audio driver just had a fit. Check if a restart fixes it :d

open coral
#

Yeah, that's my next step once the instance ends.

#

I was just curious whether this was a common "known issue" or if it's a rare, yet annoying bug.

slate arrow
#

It's a rarely common bug because the audio driver is made with duct tape and wishes

i assume you're getting to 2nd phase with her

cos you need to burst her at like 45%

austere dust

well that's not indicitive for them to be physical, since their AOEs are magical

The tether is supposed to hit everyone in the party and is an instant kill if it hits someone twice while they still have the debuff

viscid fossil

I heard people said stop at 47% wait for 2nd tower...

But it's hard to control that

austere dust
#

Well, it's just a showerthought based on lore and all. Since they are darkness charged attacks but whatever, I guess.

Either do meteors and have all your burst ready, or skip meteors and click buttons harder than normal

they're both physical looking at fflogs

if it says does "unaspected dmg"

Is there supposed to be an easier way to target lock when tanking? Some guy wanted me to tank something on the right, but usually when I try and aggro something other than the first monster, it just faces back to that one.

oak ice
#

Which fight?

faint flare
#

Sounds like you got soft targetting on

austere dust
#

Oh, I'm aware but I was wondering since they are astrally charged they shoudl technically be magical in nature. But it doesn't matter from a gameplay perspective.

faint flare
#

Under character configuration in general, check "change target circle to target select"

#

So your target doesn't auto change back

austere dust
#

blue magic is very on point in telling what is and isn't physical or magical

oak ice
#

Yeah, but BLU needs the distinction for carneval

#

A bunch of fights reflect damage, or have target requirements to use magical or physical

slate arrow
#

with normal content, everything that is important scales off your main stat anyways

#
Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

Are tomestones of allegory used for anything important other than upgrading 510 gear?

#

Wanna make sure before I spend them

modest igloo
#

you can get mats for raid food and 490gear

wispy shell
#

seems like I'm alright to spend them on the crystalline rain upgrades then

#

how important are positionals on dragoon? just wanted to know

modest igloo
#

very

open coral
#

If a class has positionals, they're important.

faint flare
#

"how important is it to do damage as a dps"

#

Yes

#

What's the cheapest way to level crafting? Diadem gathering and then crafting for the firmament?

slate arrow
#

more or less

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Do stuff yourself

#

Don't buy stuff

bright bane
#

Sounds good. I just want to get all my crafts to 80 before EW

When sparning formidable, is it normal, that I do Foes, I do Family, and then the Finale just... doesn't spawn? I swear this is the third time I'm doing the chain.

it might be on CD

yeah

formidable has its own cd

does this usually mean that someone found a S rank or a NM in this server?

twilit arch

not necessarily

oh it was much higher before

#

some servers simply have a queue still to login too

#

lamia for instance i have a queue almost daily still, world visit cant just skip those

glass bobcat
#

just returned to game, gathered some random stuff to fill out gather logs. These collectibles that don't seem to have a turn in at custom deliveries, collectible appraiser, or reductions, do I just lower the quality and vendor?

polar hound
#

i dont see the point to lowering the quality before selling

glass bobcat
#

can't vendor them as collectibles

polar hound
#

ah well i mean sure but it's prolly more time efficient to just destroy and keep leveling

#

doubt those sell for anything worth anything to a vendor

#

i could also suggest you just focus on leveling/job quests instead of filling the log now.. simply because higher levels will give you more abilities and access to otherwise hard-to-get items also

narrow coral
#

does dlc packs come with gametime?

twilit arch
#

no

narrow coral
#

oof

#

i really wanna get back into this game but its quite a bit of money to hop into rn. do dlcs ever go on sale?

twilit arch
#

yeah

Question about ilvl syncing. Does it sync the overall ilvl, or does it sync each item down individually? for example, if a duty sync to ilvl 410, and I have a 510 ilvl piece and other slots using sub-410, would my overall ilvl after sync be 410 or sub-410?

twilit arch
#

there was a sale back in like febuary

obsidian patio
#

Individual

modern horizon
#

Ty

narrow coral
#

so is it impossible to log in as f2p if ive had a subscription before?

polar hound
#

yep

narrow coral
#

i never bought a sub but i got one when i got the game for free one time and it seems like i cant log in

polar hound
#

free to try not free to play

narrow coral
#

oof thats kinda annoying

polar hound
#

once you enter the game code you cannot access trial

#

because you own the game

modern horizon
#

How far did you get before? Might just be worth starting a new account

narrow coral
#

i got fairly far i was up to heavensward and had started it

polar hound
#

^ that is an option but you would need to rebuy the complete game again also

#

well..once you were ready to move on from the trial

modern horizon
#

Ah, yeah

narrow coral
#

its annoying that you can still play sub level 60 content

#

cant*

polar hound
#

trial includes the entirety of HW so technically you could still pass where you were with time

narrow coral
#

ye but idk i spent alot of time on my account and got alot of event stuff and things like that

polar hound
#

its free to try not free to play, once you enter a product key, you own it

narrow coral
#

i would hate to lose all that

polar hound
#

people buy keys and wait to enter them for these reasons

narrow coral
#

ah ye i wasnt aware of this back then

#

i had got the game free from twitch prime or something

polar hound
#

i mean... idk it doesnt seem you couldve spent all that much time on the other toon, starting over might alleviate your woes currently but without $ your current one is kinda at a stalemate

modest igloo
#

or, you could play a new account up to the start of HW, and then switch over

narrow coral
#

it felt like alot of time. it was like a month and a half of playing everyday

polar hound
#

yeah.. base game is really long because it is considered a full 'base' game and other reasons.. sounds about accurate

narrow coral
#

plus my old account is bound to my email and all that stuff. idk it would suck to lose it lmao

#

especially cause at thetime i worked hard to get some event mounts and stuff

modest igloo
#

there's also NG+

modern horizon
#

Yeah I'd just buy a sub at that point. ARR is a lot. Also grab a Raf code before you sub if you want, can't enter them after

polar hound
#

you can contact SE and have them unlink your email if you really wanted.

narrow coral
#

raf?

polar hound
#

refer a friend

narrow coral
#

i technically had a sub

modern horizon
#

You get some stuff

obsidian patio
#

You canโ€™t use RAF code after the free sub expires

narrow coral
#

it was free 30 days from base game, and then there was 14 days or something they gave me as a new player

polar hound
#

yep

twilit arch
#

if all you did was play on free time

#

then you're still technically eligible for RAF

obsidian patio
twilit arch
#

free time doesn't count as paying for a subscription

narrow coral
#

well it must have

#

cause i cant access free trial stuff

twilit arch
#

that's not what i am saying

narrow coral
#

well i assumed it counts the same for both things

faint flare
#

Buying the game disqualifies you for trial

narrow coral
#

free trial and raf

twilit arch
#

Not

#

free trial is not the same thing as the qualifications for RAF

narrow coral
#

hmm

twilit arch
#

they are two different htings

narrow coral
#

idk ima think about it

twilit arch
#

because you can't be a trial player to use RAF

narrow coral
#

i really want to play this game but idk if i want to start over again atm

polar hound
#

if i were you, with all questions considered, you are at the start of HW.. just buy 1 month sub if possible and ride thru hw, by then maybe you'll have enough for expansions/a sale happening

modern horizon
#

I mean if you were in heavensward you're looking at maybe 20-30 hrs before you'd have to pay anyway

what piece of cryptlurker gear should I upgrade to 530 first? I'm going to be starting e9s next week and move on to 12s eventually and be getting 530 gear as well

polar hound
#

replace your lowest ilvl pieces

#

then replace the shitty stat pieces

faint flare
#

Whatever is part of your Bis or lowest ilvl

polar hound
#

and make sure to do your nier raids weekly.. 1 of each coin= an upgrade item for cryptlurker gear

hoary kayak
#

or do hunt trains for like a week

narrow vale
#

well all my gear is 520 with the exception to 1 ring. What I meant to say is which piece of gear is the hardest able to get last to get in eden savage in addition to the fact that I will be starting and probably clearing 1. I want to know what piece of edenmorn gear I get last so I can upgrade the cryptlurker gear I have from 520 to 530 right now

What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.

Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.

The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests

balance discord is an optimization discord with all Best in slot resources etc.

remote lintel
#

rings are from 1st floor

polar hound
#

We can tell you that the chest piece/weapon are hardest to get because you need to clear e12s, but that doesnt mean those items are best in slot for your job

#

Best in slot always consists of a mix of Tomestone gear+Savage gear

slate arrow
#

not always, but usually for the weapon as it's 535 and that much weapon damage makes a decent difference

thank you

#

can u buy in the mogstation more glamour slots?

modest igloo
#

nope

#

Is there a way i can not make my characther turna direction?

#

Sometimes when im trying to dps on the move while running away from the aoe, when I use something like egi assault, it pivots my characther toward the boss and make me move back which is something that would sometimes get me killed

#

unless im like holding the right or left mouse it keeps happening and im wondering is ther ea setting i can use to stop that?

modest igloo
#

have you tried the legacy movement option?

frozen wind
#

what does that do excatly?

remote lintel
#

makes you not strafe

#

standard controls will turn your character towards your target when you do an attack, which means if youre moving, your character will start running towards the target

#

legacy controls separate the camera from your character movement

frozen wind
#

So if i turn on legacy movement i can run away and still use skills without it piviting me back

remote lintel
#

yes

frozen wind
#

thank god I hope so im going to test it out now on a tranning dummy this will help me out in raid and my parse a lot

remote lintel
#

its under character config > control btw

what's the best gathering set in the game or at least the sets that can push you to 2600 gathering / perception and about 850 gp for the bonuses in diadem?

#

the landsaint's set doesn't quite get there

faint flare
#

Overmelded aesthete

silver lintel
#

darn

faint flare
#

Scrip gear is a stepping stone

silver lintel
#

yeah i'm at a sort of impass

#

i'm trying to max crafting and get all the master books which means i need to farm a lot of diadem but to get all the gathering bonuses i need better gear lol

faint flare
#

You don't need the bonuses

lilac ether
modest igloo
#

i just did customer deliveries for my master books. unless there's some in ishgard resto

silver lintel
#

indeed, but being able to farm double or triple the resources helps speed it up is all

faint flare
#

Well cough up the cash or take the extra time

silver lintel
#

oh nah, i'm doing restoration for the levels to max crafters since i still have a few at about 70

#

also yeah ffxiv textools is mostly the only one afaik, i used it to help pull my character meshes for modding

remote lintel
#

@lilac ether yes its working

lilac ether
#

Thank you ^^

silver lintel
#

is king's yield 2 still the best way to increase gathering quantities then?

naive kraken
silver lintel
#

they all have the same integrity in diadem without 2600 stats

naive kraken
#

look at the yield per gp, typically 4-6 hit nodes the individual boost one that gives up to +3 gets you the most per GP

silver lintel
#

outside of it i agree, i try to use it on nodes with a boost to integrity

#

also idk what you mean

#

none of the diadem nodes have any boosts unless you have the absolute best gear pretty much
