@finite topaz ah so like doing class ones but for the company one
Alrighty
Gotcha
Thank you
What other options are there apart from dungeons and msq to gain xp?
Yep
And yeah, extremes really are easy once you know them, so don't sweat it feeling hard at first.
Deep dungeons
!faq altlvlguide
@jade quartz which hunt log do I do for the massive xp
There’s one hunt log per class.
It’s only really worth it up to about level 20.
Press H by default to open your hunting log
Hunt logs are worth it cuz you dont have access to dungeons before lvl 15
how to i unlock the mentor roulette? i finally got NN enabled but dont see it in my duty
After lvl 15, hunt logs lose value
Are you a combat mentor?
trade mentor
thats homophobic lol T_T

getting 1500 comms is impossible lol
And if all else fails, beg
Don’t do that.
Likely to have the completely opposite effect.
i main healer and i still dont have even 1k comms 
Naw, just takes time and patience. People will com anything if it isn't annoying.
Got all mine dpsing
perhaps i should actually wait for the newbies to finish their cutscenes before leaving
actually sound advice
i always forget lmao
Despite their in game reputation
Mentors are supposed to help people
It is not something you get to lord over other players
Anyone using 4k resolution here? Did the FPS become worst after last week maintenance for you guys?
Seems fine to me on PS5
Is Eureka a good way to grind 60-70 like I've heard Bozja is a good way to grind 70-80?
No, Eureka does not give any outside experience.
No
Okay. FATEs for various memories it is, probably.
The equivalent for 61–70 is Heaven-on-High, Stormblood‘s Deep Dungeon
Further clarification
I never unlocked it because I couldn't get far enough in Palace of the Dead.
Dungeons will always be the best choice for grinding levels
Just that Dps don't have good queue time
If you are a tank/healer, or has a friend who is one
I'm playing tank, I just get bored running dungeons over and over.
I do roulette, though.
The parts that are available at LV60.
The good exp roulettes are leveling, Alliance raid, main scenario and frontline
And trials since it’s so short
Yeah, but the rest of them often have the "adventurer in need" bonus so I do them too.
Raid and trial are okay for exp, I do them when I needed just a bit more to level up
Adventurer in need bonus isn’t really very good exp
I have no other real use for those roulette sections, so if they have the need bonus I do them too. I figure it can't hurt anything.
That's fine

i want to leave my fc and static but im worried ppl will freak out, just dont think i vibe with them or feel like i belong. what should i do
hi guys, any recommendations can you make for the Gunblade relic weapon?
hello guys any idea howw to make ACT cactbot make any sound during raids because it worked before for me
Max crit and det and dump the rest into sks
no need for tenacity at this point?
Not really, no, the stat gains from it is so minimal
Tenacity doesn’t scale good
Got it. Thanks for the advice ^^
So I’m lvl 50 and I just wanted to start levelling the cnj but it starts off at lvl 1, what’s the fastest way to lvl them
Hunting log until level 15, then spam dungeons
Any good websites to see msq progression?
can you make the minimap bigger?
System > hud layout
^
Ty
Sectioned off by levels and patches
Spamming them until I get to Heavensward
At these lil bs tedious ones
That give like...4800xp
63 msq's until Heavensward. Hiyahhhh
50 was the lvl cap which is why they give so little xp
can other people enter guild house personal room
Tedius.
yeah
as long as the room is set to open

is there a "home-like" place for free trial players?
I'd say the INN
where's that?
They’re found in the city-states and marked on the map with a bed icon
is it normal to wait more than 20min as a healer for grand cosmos ?
Not really, but i'd guess it's the time, in NA it's past midnight
Do I need to complete ARR MSQ for the warrior Fell cleve skill quest?
I am level 56 already
I only got up to the skill infuriate
Yes
It should come from job quests
post 50 job quests are unlocked after completing ARR
I see. Thank you.
Here is the thing tho, dont sweat it, because in any content in ARR you would get synced down and not have Fell Cleave anyway
I see. Thx
what are those dots in the lower right corner
Picture?
Inventory??
if it's the little blue and green dots, that's your inventory grid
Hey I just completed the main quests for the first part ( f2p i can fly now ) how comes the new main quests give barely any xp?
because level 51 didnt exist at that time
youre working through old content
so there was no reason to give exp since 50 was the cap
Ahhhhhh that makes sense, its a shame they havent changed it
time to grind levels the old fashioned way
Hello! Im playing Dragoon. Which accesories are best for me from Shire set? Custodian, pankratiast or conservator?
each expansion has a pattern of adding 10 levels > bunch of patch quests at level cap > next expansion adds 10 more levels > bunch of patch quests > etc
the ones with strength that isn't custodian
since more than a few of them have tenacity which is useless on a dragoon
Do you only get 1 free fantasia potion throughout the questing?
only from completing The Ultimate Weapon but yes
As an f2p im capped at 60 right?
yes
Custodian(str+vit+critical+direct hit) , pankratiast (str+vit+critical+ determination)
So pankratiast is best?
Ty for all the help : )
@slate arrow having to spend 10$ to change your height kinda sucks lol
They need to make them tradable

semi-interchangable, just makes sure you don't buy the one with tenaicty
I already used the fantasia ages ago to change race and thought I wanted to be really tall but now I Wana be short
F
Thanks!
can anyone help I already reinstalled ACT for the reason the sounds doesn't work after reinstalling still the same problem

if you have an alt, can you copy your UI layout easily to the alt from a main? or do you have to do it manually
you can copy the Hud Files in your documents
There's also plugins on XIVLauncher which can automate this for you
Hey. Is it possible to do maps with a person in cross-world party on another world?
I know cross-world parties have some weird things considering nut hunt trains. Apparently your emnity is not being added to the people you're partied with and you end up getting the lowest amount of nuts? So I was wondering if it has any restrictions for maps.
You can just have everyone come to the same world and make a regular party
Me and my friend on different worlds, would regular party work?
If I come to his world
anyone know why i can't find my lvl 52 job quest? im a WHM and its not showing anywhere
its supposed to be called, A journey of purification
Have u finishes msq?
i finished all the ARR ones
you need to get to HW to unlock the 50-60 job quests
you specifically need to enter ishgard
ohhhh
before you can unlock the 50-60
okay ty guys (:
job quests are tied to expansions
entering ishgard is the very start of HW
makes more sense now lol, was losing my mind
Where can you learn to be astrologist class thingy
When you get to ishgard
Will the main quests get me there
ya u just gotta do the post-ARR questline to get to ishgard
Oh ok cool thanks
Are there any ways to get a black or white carbuncle? Or are they only for NPCs in story
No way
I wonder if they are hints to future summoner pets
More egi glamours are high on the list of many smn players' wishes
Is there a way to make view distance longer? So bushes don't pop in randomly
I have that disabled and it makes no difference
damn

Have we gotten a rough ETA for 5.55 by chance?
late may
Like did they say it would be out by the fanfest or after?
after, most likely
Ah, thanks
since fanfest is smack dab in the middle of may
Yep, just under 2 weeks 😄
Why's there queue time in world visit
If I buy the starter edition on PS4 how much would it cost to upgrade to Shadowbringers collector’s?
Because there’s a high volume or people using the system to that world.
Missed the mark cos of the queue 
@leaden ginkgo I cant seem to see the price of shadowbringers in psn
Its $40 on the PSN but that’s not collectors
answered your own question, large volume of people transferring to that world then
Ya
The Collector’s edition is $60 but that’s with everything not just an upgrade
Can you get EB glams,without doing one?
it's not more or less complicated than some other jobs
ninja is kind of a piano once a minute, and very simple outside of that
just gotta remember the mudra combinations, which are easy once you have it down
but once learned, it's not very difficult to replicate
execution is another matter but that's the case for every job
so out of pld whm and mnk who should i do the main quest with ( for exp) who has the worst time leveling
If you want fast queue times for the mandatory dungeons, pld or whm
im levleing them all at the same time anyway
dps in general have the "worst" time leveling
Is mogststion under maintenance currently? Couldn't find the news about it
because technically the fastest way is via dungeons but their queue times suck
I can access it no problem
kk thx
It shows the maintenance notice when I'm trying to checkout my item @glossy flare
Sorry this is my first time trying to buy something
odd, there really was no announcement for something like that
Thats what I thought too, just wanted to confirm there's nothing wrong from my end
I was logged in already, and when I was about to select payment method; j was told to log in again and it showed this
Yea I figured. Been getting different errors at different steps. Thanks!
aside from lower exp/shorter time duration, is there more difference to field exploration and quick exploration? like which one gives more rare items, higher quality items etc

guys, can you tell me what raid i havent unlock?
not sure what to search for on google
i see lock stuff in party raider finder
the whole Eden's promise series
ok i am a quest where i see the black girl introduced in patch 5.3/5.4
can you get a wardrobe in your house?
should be on the right path. thanks!
Why do I see some people standard/technical finish before engaging boss
Isn't that like a huge dps loss
not a functional one no
the only place to setup glamours is in an inn?
the other way would be to put a glamour dresser in your house/apartment
there is no glamour dresser furniture.
only places with the dresser are inn rooms and the GC squadron rooms
do u need anima relic equipped while farming light,or can u swtich before the end
you need it equipped for the last boss of the instance iirc
I don't recommend it, though. You'll just end up forgetting to do it more than once
plus the best farm method is to do something like A9S unsynced, which doesn't offer you an opportunity to swap.
Anyone know how the butterfingers promotion works? I know it starts in 6 hours but do you just buy it off the shelves or fro the site?
can u get light from hw extremes
Yes, but as I said do A9S
that's the go-to
Anima light is obtained from basically all level 50-60 content
it's a faceroll unsynced, there are no mechanics to do
Get a light farm party going on the PF
You'll finish your light farming step in under two hours
There's a "Buy online" button for the promo site so online purchases through there should be fine
but we won't know for sure until then
Ok thanks!
How exactly does switching relics mid-book step work? Can I finish my current DRG book, and then put the whole thing on the backburner to do my sch books?
IIRC, you need to finish a book completely and then talk to the NPC again as the other job with the relic equipped
ah ty!

can you obtain any of the makai stuff anymore?
like the scholar book?
I know they updated the casino for the invisible shield on PLD
but, if you missed the promotion for the PvP event, is there anyway to obtain any of these things again?
nope, i dont think so
trying to find a scholar book that looks military or tech like
they all look like the same dribble you've been reading for years in pre school
If you think you can clear O12S, the Omega Codex looks pretty techy.
the Scaevan book looks kinda techy and is fairly easy to get
Also the Law's Order codex looks pretty unique and military-y. And there's a glowy version.
there's Lost Allagan
is law and order a relic step?
yes
yes, current level 80 relic
it's the current last step until 5.55
How do I start a duty once I get all the party members I need/want with the party finder?
close the pf ad and queue normally via duty finder
if you turn on the undersized party option in the duty finder settings, yes
little cogwheel icon in the top left of the duty finder
Or you can queue with the incomplete party you have and use the duty finder matchmaking
to fill the rest
How does stunning the magitek colossus in Meri work? I stunned it at 85%, it was stunned from 85-70%, and still got the vuln down.
meri?
Meridianum
There's nothing you have to stun in there
oh right there is a skip strat
or there was
I thought that was long patched out
I swear I saw it happen just a couple weeks ago. But I can never do it right.
Oh no it was that people used stuns indiscriminately because they were attached to damage
so it always became stun immune and then you couldn't do it
so it must still exist
the window is very small though
I heard that if it's stunned at 80%, it won't vuln down. But I just tried it and no bueno.
You can do it right as the adds appear, like frame-perfect
I'm seeing people on reddit say 82-83%
and about 65% for the second time
Alright used the party finder and a bunch of level 80 joined
They unsynchronized the fight or something and the boss was down in 2 secs
Glad to be done with that
I can confirm the stun still works, but there's no tell for it I think.
If the Colossus is stunned while the purple 'link' lines appear, the invulnerability buff isn't applied.
d'you need an upgraded anemos weapon to continue with that weapon into the next step?
or is that just for armour
Anemos is one of the first steps into the relic, so yes, you need to go further for upgrades. That being said, you can just do Eureka without ever touching your relic.
right. debated going for an elemental weapon but if I have to start at scratch then i'll probably find something better to do

Anemos passes away pretty quick
Anemos weapons are also pretty easy to get
Pagos however....
How long will it take me to get 2.5 mil gil with a small house gardening? (to cover the cost of the house)
still at heavensward expansion
Ehh idk but to make some decent gil you'd need to
Unlock diadem
Do firmament crafts
Do fetes
Buy stuffs from different servers for cheap and sell for more in your server
Level up crafter's and gatherers
I don't think you have good gil making opportunities in heaven'sward
Collect and sell effervescent water
And silver ore
They are used even in lvl 60+ recipes
Oh and last but not least get lucky
I think I got an orchestron scroll in HW that sold for 800k
Don't remember which it was tho
Fetes might be one of the fastest method for you rn
Since with the fete rewards you can buy dyes which sell quite well
And you can also get rare items like general purpose dyes which sell for like 240k+
I recommend growing jute/glazenut, those always go very well. Thav onion maybe, but it might be a hassle.If you have access to a second garden (f.e a friend tenants you), consider starting a two-patch RGB.
Hi all, does anyone know if the subscription can be paid through steam, or does it have to be done through SE's site?
You can use your steam wallet for sub payments, yes
assuming you also own the game via steam
I'm on the standalone trial, but because I'm in Japan, I couldn't get it to work with a NA/EU account
I think I can buy the game on steam, and use my standalone trial account through steam, and pay the subscriptions with steam wallet? Is that right?
If you're still on the trial you can use any platform, but buying the game anywhere locks you permanently to that platform
So once on steam, always on steam for example
Gotta buy all future expansion on steam as well
Where do I find crafter specialist actions?
Best way of farming tomestones of revelation?
What's the potency difference between melee and ranged LB?
9k vs 6150
Don't remember the exact numbers, but caster is a bit stronger than ranged, and both win over melee in damage if you hit 2 targets
Does anyone know when the last bit of 5.5 is being released?
Mid may
okie dokie, thank you 🙂
Ah, it says I cannot use my steam product key with my existing SE account because the region is different
You get a "soul of the crafter" for yellow scrips and get another specialist item from an npc near the Ishgard airship area
Am I going to have to remake my character etc just to change the language from Japanese to English?
Expert roulette and hunt trains
No, you do not
I see now you need to equip it like a job soul. Thanks
Those numbers are not accurate
Do hunt trains as well for revelations
To clarify, the client is in English, but all the account management stuff (including payments) is in Japanese
afaik we don't know exact potencies of LBs
There's no language options on the site to change it from JP to EN
since they follow their own rules
Okay so hunts trains I can't do on the PS4
Expert roulettes I didn't unlock
So I don't think I can get cryptlurker set
So do I just get augmented exhalchic
So, tried the retainer trick to get housing bots to buy my items but it seems they targeted my retainer but didn't purchase anything, even though I had it where others could see what was for sale on them
Is there anything I'm missing to make this work?
we don't have potency numbers on them, any people say or you see on the internet are from ARR days and not accurate
if you're interested in the break down of the limit break damage should read thru https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JK9BKbW49Kye5V60jD16rvzmliurLE1Ngq6Z7-WubKI/edit#
Thanks
Kinda weird that it doesn't allow me to buy another ring..is it a bug? I can get 2 shire rings no problem https://i.imgur.com/nSL38z6.png
- Why can't you do hunt trains on PS4?
- You should unlock EX roulette, it's not that hard, just do the MSQ and make sure you've also unlocked The Twinning and Akadaemia Anyder.
- You can get the Cryptlurker set without either of those things, it's just more of a grind because you have to go for significantly lesser volumes of tomestones by doing Eden, NieR, and specifically queued level 80 dungeons.
- You can, but why?
Those rings are still unique. Poetics rings are not.
oh..yea I mean they shouldn't be.. I can't have 2 of those now
2 proto ultima rings
Poetics rings were made non-unique because the unaugmented versions no longer exist. The ring you're trying to buy is not the same.
Why would you want two?
also to help smooth out the gearing process while at 50/60/70
there's a chance they may change that ring later, but for now...there's not much reason to
because generally people aren't going to be going out of their way to get it
because they have crit instead of determination
that's a moot point
Considering that that's old gear, it's really not relevant what their secondary stats are.
secondary stats aren't significant enough to warrant you caring that much about them, esp while leveling
those sorts of stats don't super matter since it's old cap gear
true
Secondary stats don't really matter until max level.
for leveling it's just upgrading ilvl, you don't worry abt it until current content.
had a question about the relic weapons, are they worth going for right at level 50?
No.
can you get the fashion report prize twice? as in if i were to get 80 points first then 100 points could i get an additional 60k ?
When ever I join a hunt train,
- the monster is already dead
- The party finder party has gear stat requirement 999
- Invisible target
- If it's a crossword train lol I wish I could join
- I'm in JP server most of the times I shout I don't get invites
- People delete monster the moment it spawns doesn't wait for anyone
If I'm very lucky I'll get invites and people might wait like 30 seconds before they delete the monster
So I'm left with augmented exhalchic
Is aug exhalchic good? How much revelation do you get from expert?
Old relic weapons are just work-intensive glamour.
@open coral
thanks for the advice, i thought it might just be older content

but I thought "maybe you can upgrade it to higher ilvl as you go on"
you can, but as soon as you enter a new expansion it will be outclassed
relics are, fully upgraded, always the best weapon of a given expansion
makes sense, i'll probably just do it one day for the completionist aspect
wait so there are multiple relic weapons?
each expansion has its relics, yes
for example Shadowbringers gets the last relic steps in just a few weeks
only fully upgraded
which doesn't happen until the very end of an expansion
before the last step is released it is always slightly worse than the actual best weapons
can you get the fashion report prize twice? as in if i were to get 80 points first then 100 points could i get an additional 60k ?
which usually come from savage raids
I see I see
only once per week
oh right I was also wondering, do raids work like they do in WoW? where you can only do the "real" raids in premade groups?
okt hx
should i get a team before doing the magicked blade?
Pretty much, yes
the more challenging difficulty, savage, is best attempted with a premade group
i mean you could duty finder savage
alliance raids however are casual content, as are normal mode raids
no one is on it tho
no one does duty finder savage
@vital ruin Augmented exarchic isn't bad, it's just that the tomestone gear is better. You currently get 40 revelation tomestones from your first Expert roulette per day, plus whatever the instance reward is. You can, if you do all roulettes including Expert and 80 roulette (but not 50/60/70 or guildhest) with a level 80 job, get 240 roulette bonus tomestones of revelation per day, with a weekly cap of 450.
outside of JP true
thanks for the info
raids are 8man, alliance raids 24man
fun game so far.. I'm glad I got back into it after they reduced the grind to heavensward
Without those two roulettes, subtract 55 from the daily bonus.
Hi hi ! I just bought an outfit for my character on the web ffxiv shop. I still have not received it, how much time does it usually takes ?
if it was an accountwide item it may take up to an hour
Depends on how busy the servers are, but anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours is normal.
what does that mean, lol
Lmao I'll pass on aug crypt and get aug exhalchic
Should I get all accessories first or gear
it means that depending on speed of the dps you could push phases out entirely
Gear
I you want to spend your gil that way, that's your choice. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Oh
and skip certain mechanics during the fight
the fight isnt on a predetermined script
its a conditional one
Exarchic is pretty cheap
ohhh
it's always breast/legs -> gloves/feet -> belt -> accessories
Because of the stats.
Thanks alot @glossy flare and @open coral
Ohh
I'll get the gear first so I'll have that over all the job and get weapon later ig
belt has same stat weight as accessories
tbh im glad theyre removing belts next expansion
they serve literally no purpose
Is eden the raids for Shb
yup
How long is it no spoilers
the 8 man raid yea
12 parts, as always
its 12 fights
4 per series
well, 13
I c
13th boss is savage locked
I c
it's just 12 bosses. final boss of each set of 4 has a separate phase in savage.
shame its not on normal cos its a really cool fight
I unlocked twinning
Is it among the expert dungeons
it's in lvl 80 roulette
Twinning is in 80 roulette.
e12s is legit 2 bosses
but not in expert roulette
theres a checkpoint
I c
unlike e4 and e8
expert is relict and paglthan currently
Expert has only 2 options
(or however you spell that)
E12S is one boss.
nope
its literally two different bosses
not the place to argue about it
even fflogs has it as two seperate fights
Fair, Kael
its 12 floors per raid series, with coil being the exception
yea 12 instances
It's the same instance, but because there's a checkpoint FFLogs logs it as a seperate fight
And no sane person tries to clear it on the first go anyways
Can I convert Poetics/allegory> revelation
no
No

just do your roulettes weekly, a run of pagl or two and you'll make cap
But without trains it's way too grindy for me 
5 days of expert is all u need
You literally only have to do two days of roulettes.
I c
It's really not hard to cap weekly tomestones.
Does JP not have a hunt discord?
they probably do
Will the next Relic Weapon steps come out in 5.51 or 5.55? I can't remember
Oh okay 😮
5.51 was for when Dragonsong Ultimate was going to come out before the delays fwiw
Oh I see
I haven't been paying attention much the past few months since I took a break
So I think I missed the last 1 or 2 liveletters
But thank you!
Will the relic be bis for this expac?
yes
Relics always end up as the BiS weapons for their expansion due to customized stats and having more overall stats in comparison to normal weapons of the same item level
They just don't become BiS until the very end when their item level finally catches up
Everything about the end of a expac and going into a new one is new to me
what can I do to get enough item level for amaurot
I need 410 and I'm only like 398
Grab your class gear from Grenolt in the Tempest.
does that take long
It's literally free
It takes like 5 seconds.
The game tells you this
oh
Literally just talk to him and he'll give it to you.
Have you done your role quests?
they already have at this point
yeah, I think I didn't read the text fully

If getting your class gear doesn't give you enough ilevel, you can always buy some accessories off the MB to replace your lowest level ones.
nah it's fine it got me to 413
where is this seemingly random meteor in amaurot coming because I must be blind
are the crystal tower quests required before heavensward?
Yes, because their story is relevant later on
It's the only mandatory 24 man raid series
oh i should probably get that out of the way then

nevermind I really was just blind
Which torso armor is this?
from one of the nier raids, looks like the 53 fending set?
yorha type 53 fending I think, from puppet's bunker
53 maining, actually.
oh right the sleeves
The fending set has the long sleeves
thx bro
Quick question, is it possible right now to invite other people from different data centers for duties and stuff or to friend people from different data centers?
no
Darn.
normal mode will pop eventually, maybe wait for daily reset
to start with Bozja you need the 5.1 story done
everything else is not tied to msq at all
I c
most of it is just progressing through the Bozja storyline
which happens naturally if you just keep increasing your resistance rank
I meant this
Oh you mean lvl 80 roulette
Yep
(DR usually refers to Delubrum Reginae, just fyi)
Ohh
Anyway, except for Twinning and Akademia Anyder all of the dungeons in it are msq dungeons
yeah you'll unlock the last required dungeon in 5.3
akademia anyder is unlocked in eulmore, down in the slums
Oh
Are there any face bandanas like the ones some characters have over their eyes but on their mouth?
Bandit style bandana

Question for ppl that are in excalibur if anything, is that server casual or am I looking at the wrong place?
People here have been really helpful
So casual players are definitely welcome
On that note, does queuing for multiple duties mean you'll play one randomly picked once you have a party?
All servers are functionally the same
With everything being cross server, there isn't really many specific server types
Just the data centre type...which are practically the same
It will make a queue for every instance you queue for, and then put you in the first one that fills up
The reason I ask is because I have been looking in pf for maps, and mount runs and I don't see anything.
!iglam scarf of wondrous wit
And I feel my fc don't do much
People usually do maps in like linkshells generally as far as I've seen
But finding a worthy fc is like pulling teeth
Party finder is across the whole data center
Yeah I have grouped with different ppl for dif servers
Just wondering. Since the fc tool in the website is per server and not per datacenters. And I would like a fc that do stuff inhouse and is active. Most I have see are way casual for my taste.
Fcs just primarily social stuff
I guess I have to take the time and go server by server
Nothing wrong with Excalibur as a server. It's perfectly active and functional.
I mean I'm sure there are fc that do stuff in house like raid maps etc
Maps are extremely casual content, so you can probably convince a couple FC members to join
Does pazuzu’s fate show up on mini map?
I will try and get something going. Ty
Anything i can do to spawn it?
It has the requirement that you kill the ghosts just outside that alcove
And it can only spawn at night while the weather is gales
is “gales” the actual name? or are showers or typhoon(?, not sure if this is a thing..) gales too?
and does it have a cooldown period? >.>
The weather is called gales.
It doesn't have to be night for Pazuzu to actually spawn
I believe 3 for gold?
3 for gold rating yeah
Can ast get gold ez enough? Spamming malefic from start to finish?
just be in a party
Oh, right, I'm dumb, the ghosts spawn at night, Pazuzu only needs the weather
Do daily roulettes trigger off the start or end time? Eg. It's 10 minutes until daily reset, if I get into an MSQ roulette now will it count for the current daily or the one that's about to roll in
When it ends
I dont suppose there’s a way to know when “gales” gonna happen? ....
FFXIV Eureka NM pop time tracker
Or talk to the Birdwatcher in the base camp
Or whatever the NPC checking the weather is called
Should I go for crypt accessories
oh weather is the same for all eureka instances?
yes
Thank you all ^^
Should I go for cryptlurker accessories for summoner
I have a lore question from Heavensward. ||I don't understand basics of the universe. After preventing Warriors of Darkness to summon and kill Garuda, they tell that from the beginning there was no light and dark, but when they were created — they also created 10 and 3 shards? What does it mean? 13 shards? Shard is a planet? And whatever planet wins in dark vs light battle, gets consumed by the winner? So they want the darkness to win in our world, because?.. He said something like "It's gonna save our world at the cost of yours", but how? If the darkness simply turns our world into void — how will it save their home?||
You can answer in DM, if you like
@high otter did you finish the warriors of darkness arc
for e12s lions
given this channel you're about to be swamped with answers - but if not dm me in a few minutes lol
when do u use knockback
Much of this can be answered without giving you any further spoilers.
after a few sec when the arrow appear?
what do i do with dupe t rex horns? >.>
Trash them
Not yet, I just finished the said quest. Xelphatol dungeon
Keep doing it, it explains it more in depth a little at the end
This level 50 mob named Unktehi will aggro if I get to close right? It has a what looks like a red/yellow explosion icon next to its name.
Keep going abit more
after 1st breathe is safe to pop knock back prevention
Hmm, okay. I just wanted to figure out now, in case my misunderstanding will ruin the walkthrough
Yep
||The thirteen shards are parallel dimensions which contain versions of this planet. Our own dimension is the Source, making a total of fourteen worlds. Hydaelyn split the shards to protect them from Zodiark--that's as much info as you currently know. Hydaelyn wants to protect the shards, but the Ascians are followers of Zodiark and want to re-join the shards. They do this using Calamities. A Calamity causes so much damage to the dimensional barrier that a shard is destroyed and consumed into our own world, the Source.||
What can you use company seals for exactly?
Promotions and buying stuff
Promotions?
thx
And more access to stuff
||However there's another possibility that can happen to a shard: if Light and Darkness become extremely unbalanced in a shard, they can cause a Flood of Darkness or Flood of Light. Neither Hydaelyn nor Zodiark nor the Ascians want this to happen, it basically means a shard is lost and can't be used for rejoining. This is what happened to the Thirteenth shard: a Glood of Darkness caused it to become the Void, where voidsent (demons) come from.||
I see
*glood
What do people usually buy in companies then?
I love me a good glood
Ventures, cordials, glamour prisms, etc etc list goes on Nyubola
||correction: the 13th became useless because there was no corresponding calamity in the source, so the aether was stuck in the 13th rather than coming back to the source||
That's ShB lore 👀
Good thing I didn't open the spoiler xd
Also that doesn't contradict what Lima said
but that's just additional to what I said
fair

By the way, can I summon other mounts into battle, other than chocobo?
Only birb
Shame, I wanted a dragon to fight my battles
Anyway, ||the Warriors of Darkness want to cause a Calamity to rejoin their world with the Source; otherwise it will become a Light version of the Void. Their world will be destroyed and everyone will die, but that means at least everyone goes back to the Lifestream and their souls eventually get reincarnated. In their view, that's at least better than their world becoming a void. They've also been manipulated by Ascians along this path.||
There's your complete spoiler-free explanation @high otter
Is there a retainer vocate in eulmore
Which crafter should I give the soul? I already gave 1 to blacksmith
oh ok
after the big lion first breath u pop knockback?
You can watch the castbar from the boss
oh
Thanks. ||All other 12 worlds are basically identical to ours? And some of them are destroyed by either dark or light already?||
yes, more or less
||Only one has been destroyed by Darkness. I must stress again that being destroyed by Light or Darkness is not a normal state of affairs.||

||But another seven have been rejoined to the Source, by the seven calamities.||
||There will be differences of course because they have lived separately for thousands and thousands of years but they are mirror worlds sure||
About glamour, are the items gone once you use them as a skin on another piece of gear?
||Well, yes but actually no. They were created a long time ago. Any calamities that has happened has been 1 shard that has been rejoined..and there has been 7 so far||
No
||None have been destroyed by Light, but the Warriors of Darkness's world is on the brink of it.||
Glamour dresser
||And what is source exactly? And by that logic rejoining is good? And we are in fact bad guys, who will lead our world to the light victory and by that destroying it?||
||our world is the source. Rejoining help them summon Zodiark, which is the bad God||
||yeah if you wanna count the worlds, ||
||1 turned to void||
||7 rejoined||
||1 almost getting turned into a void||
||Excluding those that leaves 4 perfectly || ||healthy worlds that we know of||
||rejoining BAD. You are killing billions, everyone on that shard gets murdered when you rejoin it and because a calamity is needed to that's extra casualties || ||As for the second bit well...Ascians are bad and are killing millions and stuff but that is an entertaining question and one you should hold on to||
||It's called the Source because it's like the "original" world in a sense, and the rest are copies that split off from it.||
We are the cool kids
OG kids? 
||all those worlds rejoin to us||
finally I understand this part
||There are a total of 14 worlds... because this is Final Fantasy 14. The Source and 13 Shards. Minus all those that have been destroyed of course||
||So bad guys want to destroy the source, and how it will help them exactly?|| Or it will be explained later
Yes
Explained later
Shadowbringers goes into depth about that
But for now you know ||that it empowers their god, Zodiark, somehow||
uh wait
to be precise
No, ||they don't want to destroy the Source.||
||They want to rejoin all the 13 shards to the Source so the world will be one again.||
||Zodiark = bad, he's the dark God, opposite to Crystal mom||
||This does involve causing Calamities though, which are huge disasters that kill lots of people on the Source.||
||As well as the entire population of the planet in the Shard that gets rejoined by the particular Calamity.||
||Yes, they mention something like "everyone will die in the process, but at least reborn later". Which again raises a question: isn't it the best thing to do? Because otherwise under our leadership light will destroy the darkness and the source will be turned into Light Void, or whatever it is. Or the source can't be destroyed this way?|| Or, again, there is an answer for that in the game, but later
||It...kinda gets talked about????????||
||Y'know it's still not 100% clear if the Source could be threatened by a Flood...||
But yeah you'll get into those themes.
I see. So basically we still wait for the story to go on in that case
Well at the point in the story where we're at now we've kinda passed the point where that's something we're talking about anymore
At risk of this turning into a discussion, and Drac don't read this, ||Elidibus seems to suggest it's possible with what he says in 5.3 as to why you met you in 2.1 so I'm going to say yes. It's just clearly much harder because the lack of pre-existing tendancies like The First||
Again, a very large chunk of meta level stuff gets revealed or corrected in shadowbringers
But that's enough said
Well, thank you all very much, now I more or less understand the basics of the universe
Are the servers down?
https://i.imgur.com/6A0TX41.jpg what does it mean 3/3? 🤔
3 rewards per week
i assume this is paradigm's reach
1 is the armor
1 is the stellaclusters
and 1 is the coin
What is the level requirement for mastercrafter III - V
just running and completing it means you get the stellaclusters and coin
so i assume you passed on all the armor
Well 3/3 means they got their armour
^
oh sorry
2/3 hasnt
yeah i thought it said 2/3 for some reason
IV is lv 60?
Yes, there's 2 master books per level cap
Oh
1 and 2 for 50, 3 and 4 for 60 and so on
Ah I c
Does anyone have a SAM macro where I use a Iaijutsu and then it will become the Tsubame-gaeshi action and when that is executed it will go back to Iaijutsu?
yeah that's just not something you'd want to do anyway
macroing your gcds is bad news because macros can't queue and therefore have a slight delay
Once you put a skill into a macro it becomes 80x worst to use
which adds up significantly over the course of a fight
no, just have tsubame-gaeshi right next to it on the hotbar. for example i have iaijutsu on G and tsubame on ctrl+G
^
and also misaligns your buffs
this works fine for me
comfy
but its all subjective, do whatever works for your fingers
just dont use macros
I use a controller so macros help in some situations
No it doesn't
yes but not in this case
I fit everything on controller for all jobs fine
You got more space than keyboard lol
Each hotbar fits 16 skills...while keyboard fits like 12
controller isn't really a valid reason to use gcd macros, its not an inferior control implement in this game
I have my iajutsu on L2 + right and tsumbae on L2 + r2 + right
Controller users don't need to use any more macros than keyboard users.
Just have to press the additional trigger
They may get more use out of ground target macros
but that's niche and samurai has none of those
even on controller I find placing ground aoes easier without
How much craftsmanship/CP/control should I have to craft HQ byakkos weapons
They don't need to be Hq really cause they're just glamour weapons
just be lv80 and use trained eye and meet minimum craft requirements
How do you unlock more slots on exarchic gear?
I've i355 lv 80 smith I can craft NQ byakkos weapons?
you don't, aug exarchic can't be pentamelded
But people said you can penta every crafted gear
for normal exarchic gear the slots aren't "unlocked"
you get a crafter to overmeld it for you
Augmented Exarchic isn't crafted.
its not like there are slots you unlock oyu just jam more materia into it
Normal exarchic can be overmelded, not that you would want to at this point
augmented exarchic isn't considered crafted since its traded for from an npc
Regular exarchic, yeah you shouldn't be bothering overmelding.
You overmeld combat gear within the first weeks of raid tier
After that it rapidly falls off in value
if you meet 1320 craftsmanship and have the specialist you can make it
there's no real point to crafting hq when it's just for glamour
Doesn't HQ ad more stats to gear?
people just craft HQ bc they can, its just 1 extra button press for them
But if there's an item on sale say 100k and both are HQ/NQ which would you pick
Not for glamour really
the byakko weaps are just for glamour, stats don't matter
the stats don't matter, it's a glamour
How do I know who to trust with gear , because me losing 1mil gil as a new player would suck
Whatever is cheaper
If I trade them it
I'll undercut by idk 5k then
what do you mean? buy it on the mb
Can you craft HQ with handking
Or do u need aesthete
the byakko weapon?
You just use trained eye
handking is fine yeah
To Hq it
Just trained eye is guranteed HQ?
!action Trained Eye
you can't share gear with anyone if that's what you're asking.
There is zero point in getting pentamelded exarhic this late into the tier
100% is guranteed HQ?
Yes
Does it completely fill the meter
The instant you use gear in combat (or to craft/gather something) it becomes bound to you
It fills the bar 100%
Wait
if you use gear as glamour it also becomes bound to you
Isnt that broken
no?
and you can no longer trade it.
Hardly. Read
It's just one button
No cause you're guaranteed to Hq low level recepies anyway
True
hq recipes 10 lvls or below are easy as hell to hq even without that skill
Well this gives me a lotta confidence to craft them
I mean when I trade it to people to penta meld ot
Is there any skill that refills durability
You don't trade it
yeah you can't do that
and again, as others have said it's pretty pointless this late into the content

Pentamelding exarchic now is saying "yes I want to waste 5mil for a tiny boost opposed to actually getting gear or using tomes to augment it"
So I grind for other gear wearing my exarchic how it is?
yes
Yes
Ok
Again, you only pentameld exarchic within the first weeks of a new raid tier
even non melded exarchic is fine for most content
Where people don't have access to gear
what is one of the best sites to use for gathering nodes? I used to use ffxiv clock but it doesn't really work anymore
I spent like 2 hrs going on servers and comparing prices to get the best ones, why are some servers selling items at 5x the price?
garlandtools bell or teamcraft
fun
all the lower priced ones on that server got bought.
that's another possibility
With the butterfinger promotion, does it matter if the receipt says 'candy'?
heya quick question, do I keep my starter race stats when I fantasia or no?
like if I started as an Au Ra Xaela but then I fantasia'd into a lalafell
would i still be able to have my Xaela stats? I didn't see the stats on the race screen or maybe i'm just blind
race stats are more roleplay flavour than they are anything that affects gameplay
how long does it take to get stuff from the delivery moogle? i bought some glamour armor 10 minutes ago but before when i got my last set it came immediately
i even logged out
just depends
Varies
all you can do is wait
Just be patient
ahh okies, i did get the confirmation email though
Interact with the delivery moogle and click the "reward delivery request" little button at the top of the window
lets the system know "hey I'm online right now please prioritise me over people who aren't"
yes i did that and it wasn’t in there
Then Just wait
it's still not gonna be instant
Still gotta go through systems
ahh okies ill wait and hope it arrives soon
@forest bronze I've had 1 set of gear take 2 minutes another 15 and a mount was instant
It's all random
I think it depends on how server processes the payment and delivery
havent played ina while, i have gladiator to lvl 31 but i cannot find the quest for paladin any tips (Doesnt show up in gladiator guild)
Maybe u have it accepted already
have you completed the MSQ past the quest "Sylph Management"
only 2 chest?
oh
extreme trial mounts are pretty easy to get given the existence of unsync.
Old extreme trials as they're Easy to solo/unsync, beast tribe mounts
Crafted mounts
@jade quartz what conjurer quest
achievement token mounts from Jonathas
a quest available from the conjurer's guild as a level 30 conjurer
white mages can't accept it
it's weird
Unicorn power
Ah so I have to take whm stone of to see it?
Ok cool
It's yellow
@jade quartz I have all the msq mounts
But only like 1 seems appealing
I want a ground mount with no wings
Like a wolf
there's a wolf from the Ixal beast tribe but it's....uhhhhhh..... 😰
yeah unsynced stormblood extremes
here's the Ixal wolf.
@jade quartz that's no wolf that's a chupacabra
Ye that wolf looks awesome
I can't wait to get one
Lakshami Is the easiest to unsync
there are magical elemental horses from the ARR extreme primals, and glowy falcons from the heavensward ones.
Just press the button and win
which ones?
some hw extremes are soloable, sb ones aren't, arr ones are super easy nowadays
so they're facerolls
