[faint flare]

And only 1 combat tribe to make up for it

[austere agate]

1 million exp is still good at 79

[remote lintel]

if youre also doing crafting then beast tribes are definitely worth it

[manic flare]

i strongly recommend beast tribe if you are leveling crafters

[ocean tartan]

Thanks for the response guys

[manic flare]

90% of my DoH leveling has been through beast tribes

[austere agate]

Do i need preparation for savage?

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

Food, melds, watch guides, know your job

[austere agate]

meld?

[faint flare]

Yes meld your gear

[remote lintel]

put materia in your gear

[austere agate]

But if i have weaker gear and want to replace it with a better one after?

[faint flare]

Just use tier 6s then

[remote lintel]

doesnt really matter

materia is piss easy to get

[faint flare]

Or you know, remember materia is fucking piss easy to get

[remote lintel]

i would just throw 8s in

[austere agate]

ok

[faint flare]

Plus you know

Just retrieve it

Or attempt to anyway

[austere agate]

what's the best materia for dragoon?

[rose oak]

omg , ty guys, sam is fun

[faint flare]

Crit > dh > det

[austere agate]

what should i put on my law's order spear?

[faint flare]

Same thing

It's your stat priority

[obsidian patio]

Max out crit and DH, rest into det

[austere agate]

it has max det already

[leaden ginkgo]

Man thats a bummer I can't make my toon until tonight

[remote lintel]

or pick a different world

[ocean tartan]

Preorder for the next expansion come in may right?

[rose oak]

i hope, i have never been in this game for an expansion and i keep hearing good things so im pumped

[leaden ginkgo]

@remote lintel but my cousin is on lamia >.<

[ocean tartan]

Im waiting for the earing to level up classes.

[crystal bluff]

Same

Missed the crystarium earring feelsbadman

[lyric kelp]

Greetings all, Noob here. Trying to make the game full screen and not having any success. Any ideas? Thanks

[remote lintel]

wym its not working

[warped nest]

Very likely. Based on previous expansions and fanfest, they should talk about collector edition and preorder bonus in the upcoming fanfest (like less than 2 weeks from now). Then preorder should open up afterward

[austere agate]

Is exarchic set good for savage raid?

[warped nest]

Yes

Pentameld HQ Exarchic (i510) is what people used to clear in the first week. This is no longer worth it.

HQ Augmented Exarchic (i520) should be fine

you should get gears with your Revelation tomestone (i520, but can be upgraded to i530). Alternatively, the third Nier raid offers i520 armors

The latest EX trial offers i525 weapons, try to get this if possible

[rapid compass]

For the ||Born Again Anima|| questline, do I need to be ilvl synced for the dungeons as well as being the right class?

[warped nest]

Synced no, right class yes

[rapid compass]

Bless; ty

[warped nest]

You need to finish the dungeon with the relic, ie kill the last boss, for it to count

You can use a different weapon before the last boss

Do this only if you are struggling

Otherwise, just use the relic weapon. Swapping back and forth can become very tedious, and very mistake prone.

[hard elm]

Are there any jobs that have passive traits that increase material drop rates from monsters?

[patent citrus]

what essence do DPS use in CLL/DR?

[faint flare]

Skirmisher

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[leaden ginkgo]

can you transfer servers?

[faint flare]

You can visit servers on your data centre or fully transfer to any for 18$

[austere agate]

How does loot works in savage?

[faint flare]

!faq savageloot

[zinc orbit]

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

[cloud wren]

I just started farming memories of the dying for resistance relic, can I keep farming more than 20 if I don't hand it in?

[faint flare]

Yes

As long as it's active you can keep farming any step

[forest bronze]

how do end game statics work? do they 100% go with meta or based on the skill of the player?

[faint flare]

Skill of the player on the job they like

Meta is non existant

[cloud wren]

does that mean I can do multiple relics at the same time? Like abandon the quest and pick it up on another job

[forest bronze]

Ouu noice, thanks! :P

[faint flare]

You can

Or just farm in advance

[cloud wren]

ah, thanks

[austere agate]

is stone sky sea good for practice?

[faint flare]

Not really

!faq sss

[zinc orbit]

Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS

1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk

[faint flare]

Just use any dummy in the overworld

[sage geyser]

helloooo

just wondering,

can i buy butterfingers via amazon for the event?

[little swift]

Lemme clarify vinyls point. Sss is terrible for extended rotation practice, but good for opener practice because it rests cds fully

[little swift]

The official website has an order online version but has specified retailers

[shy kindle]

If I want to buy all 50 logograms from the marketboard which ones do I buy? I just want to skip farming

[solemn plume]

do I have to beat the quest "the gift of the archmagus" to access heavensward?

[raven sage]

no

[solemn plume]

thanks, I didn't think so but I wasn't sure since all the other crystal tower stuff was required

[raven sage]

Yeah "A Light of Hope" is the last required one

[faint flare]

You'll need all of them. You use the logos they give to create actions by mixing them together

[short jasper]

You need a little of everything.

[faint flare]

The logos tracker on the eureka tracker site lists receipes

[plain python]

what is the max level of HoH gear?

[pale jungle]

One question, for the new chocoprokkur mount, not available in canada region right?

Can’t register

[obsidian patio]

The weapons you get from the grips? They’re i365

[plain python]

I mean the pool level

[obsidian patio]

99/99

[plain python]

same as PoTD?

[twilit arch]

yes

but they dont share pools

[hollow briar]

Best to log out and log back in if I buy from mogstation?

The ARR collectors

Or can I get my shit while logged in? 😂

[vernal urchin]

It will come in the mail, so after like 10 or so minutes just hit the refresh at a mail moogle

[hollow briar]

It keeps saying error >_>

Once I select card type and next

[vernal urchin]

Are you free trial?

[hollow briar]

No

[remote lintel]

did you try it on desktop

[hollow briar]

I don't have a desktop to try it on lmfaoo

[remote lintel]

uh

try it on a diff browser

[short jasper]

Error code 2501 when making a payment means that there's some sort of error or irregularity in the information that you've provided that has caused your financial to reject payment.

[remote lintel]

2501 is pretty general

[short jasper]

It is, but that's the specific meaning of that code. But there's many possible causes--using a VPN causing you to appear to be in a different country, or just being in a different country... attempting too many payments in the same day locking your card out for 24h-30d, incorrect information in the form, using an incognito tab, etc.

So it's not SE rejecting it--it's the bank for some reason.

[jade quartz]

2501 can also just mean the lodestone’s anti fraud system thinks your network is suspicious.

[leaden ginkgo]

also getting 2501 right now. I think it's on them.

[jade quartz]

It’s often solved just by using a different device or network

A common solution is to use your mobile data hotspot.

[short jasper]

Yep, that is also possible, Lima

[jade quartz]

Or turn off VPN if you’re using one

[fading aurora]

Guys when I try the scion travelers mask nothing appears on my fave

Face*

Is it a bug

[hollow briar]

I got it.

Google Chrome

[hollow briar]

No card info was entered yet

It when you choose what type of card/payment is when I got the error

But I switched to google chrome and it worked fine

[remote lintel]

@fading aurora do you have helmets enabled

[fading aurora]

Yes

[remote lintel]

below the character window

[short jasper]

Ah yeah, then it's something the system sees as hinky that's fair

[heavy wadi]

are you a viera?

[remote lintel]

are you playing a viera or hrothgar

[fading aurora]

I'm viera

[short jasper]

(se's payment system does wierd stuff)

[heavy wadi]

viera can't wear helmets

[remote lintel]

viera cant wear it

[heavy wadi]

or at least, it doesn't show up on them

[fading aurora]

But it says its a all class bandana

[remote lintel]

yes

but most helmets dont show up on viera

because of their ears

[heavy wadi]

^

[remote lintel]

they can physically equip it but it wont show up

[heavy wadi]

it does not appear on viera. that's just a limitation with them and hroth

[solemn plume]

if a quest has a "dungeon requirement"

does that mean I need to have it unlocked or beat the dungeon

[remote lintel]

you need to beat it

[jade quartz]

Which quest?

[fading aurora]

Wtf is going on it keeps saying I'm getting banned from server every 2 seconds when I type in here

[solemn plume]

that makes sense lol

[fading aurora]

Discord going crazy

[remote lintel]

its just discord

[solemn plume]

@jade quartz good intentions

[jade quartz]

Discord is breaking

[heavy wadi]

discord is having technical problems

not super uncommon

[fading aurora]

Discord broke before but never seen this banned bug before

I was like wtf why did I get banned

[short jasper]

It does sometimes.

One of the servers must be on the mend, no big

My connection was blinkering there too, nothing to get excited over.

[jade quartz]

You need to go do the quests for Ifrit, Titan and Garuda hard mode, and complete the trials

Quest line starts with “A Recurring Problem” in the waking sands

[boreal storm]

You get them from urianger in west thanlan

[jade quartz]

You also need to complete the crystal tower series

[leaden ginkgo]

At what level does rogue become able to be a ninja?

[jade quartz]

30

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you.

[remote lintel]

same as every other class

[leaden ginkgo]

It’s just the DLC stuff that’s higher levels right?

[short jasper]

Just make sure you completed the rogue class quests and you're golden, that quest chain will take you straight to ninja.

[glad comet]

does the nidhogg triple triad card drop on the ex trial? If so, I can just spam the trial instead of the aery

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo yes because they start as jobs

[fading helm]

i wish i could get that butterfinger promotion mount

but of course they dont let free trial people do it

[fading aurora]

In the achievement market where u buy mounts and stuff why is the weapon one empty?

Do they not have any skins yet

[short jasper]

Yeah, there's no cheivo weapons

[remote lintel]

theres no weapons tied to achievements

or achievement rewards

[fading aurora]

What's the point of the slots to buy weapons then lol

If they're empty

[glad comet]

they do that for every vendor

[twilit arch]

there are achievements that reward main hands

[jade quartz]

It’s just the default shop vendor window layout

[twilit arch]

its predominately gathering ones tho

[short jasper]

Yeah, lots of vendors have empty tabs, because of the default

[glad comet]

devs don't need to waste time making another one

when they can just use the same one for every other vendor

[short jasper]

oh yeah, stand corrected

[jade quartz]

Yeah but none purchasable from the achievement token shop

Which I think is what the question was about

[glad comet]

they haven't updated the token shop in a while, have they?

[twilit arch]

ribbon was the last thing added ye

which was 5.0

[short jasper]

I thought they tossed a song on there too

[twilit arch]

beyond redemption was 4.5

[short jasper]

Hrm. Man they need to toss more things on there

[thin patio]

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a good day
If anyone is able to join the Ridorana light house from the duty finder i would really appreciate it,
I have all languages selected, yet the wait is taking so long

I have been waiting for almost 3 days, even in peak times

Still no luck..

[remote lintel]

[thin patio]

[hollow briar]

Flying Coeurl ftw

or a dps

[thin patio]

Alright, will try w healer

Thank you very much, i really appreciate it

But also, guys if anyone could spare some time and join it too i would really appreciate it

[pearl lion]

I havent played since Oct.12, 2013 and was looking at playing again. I currnelty have characters on Mateus, Hades, Titan, and Zeromus. (main is Mateus). I have a few questions. I currently have A realm Reborn(comes with heavensword for free)` is there a way to upgrade and get stormblood & shadowbringers? there is a complete edition for 59.99 but I already own half of it.. and seperate, I only see shadowbringers for 39.99, which doesnt say it includes stormblood. I am also curious as to the servers (mateus) population.. is it well populated? And, I am also able to use a recruit code with my account since its been inactive for so long...

[manic flare]

if you buy shadowbringers, it will get you all the expansions that came before

[remote lintel]

stormblood comes with shadowbringers

it says on the product page

and all servers are populated

and no you cant use a RAF code

[pearl lion]

so I would essentially be paying over $110 in total vs the 59.99

[remote lintel]

wym

shadowbringers is 40$

[pearl lion]

I paid 79.99 for the real reborn

[manic flare]

you only have to purchase shadowbringers

[pearl lion]

ok, ill hold off on that for now, as it probably isnt that big od a deal at 21

[slate arrow]

A realm reborn is 20 dollars, my guy

[pearl lion]

i bought it in 2013

[remote lintel]

well

[delicate field]

@pearl lion did you completely restart the game from scratch on a new character?

[manic flare]

keep in mind Endwallker (the next expansion) is coming out soon (Sept or Oct)

[remote lintel]

at least you get discounted sub

[manic flare]

if you buy shadowbringers now, you have shell out another 30 for endwallker most likely

[remote lintel]

it will be 40

[manic flare]

why is his sub discounted?

[pearl lion]

as for RAF, it says a recruitment code may be redeemed using this service account

[remote lintel]

1.0 players get discounted sub

[slate arrow]

2013 was 2.0

1.0 was 2010-2011

[pearl lion]

ive had the game since is released

[remote lintel]

oh

i keep forgetting how old the game is

[pearl lion]

my last sub was 2013

[remote lintel]

RAF codes cant be redeemed if you dont have sub

[pearl lion]

sub prices, are currently 14.99 - 30 days

77.94 for 180 days

[gaunt isle]

I am getting close to finished with the free trial, does the complete edition ever go on sale?

[remote lintel]

yes

[delicate field]

Every 3-4 months?

[manic flare]

same. hard to believe this game is a decade old

[pearl lion]

I havent subed again, but there is an option to enter the code prior to subing

[manic flare]

feels like this game came out like 2 years ago

[remote lintel]

well if you can then sure you could ask someone for a code

[pearl lion]

"If you wish to redeem a recruitment code, it must be entered before purchase of a subscription or Game Time Card. Bonus items cannot be obtained if a subscription has been purchased prior to use of a recruitment code."

[manic flare]

yes, very regularly

check all the different online game stores

[modest igloo]

i mean ShB almost has

[pearl lion]

for the exp bonus bracelet, do i need to play with the person who recruited me?

[remote lintel]

no

its not a bracelet

[manic flare]

are you talking about the aetheryte earring?

[pearl lion]

circlet*

[manic flare]

if so, that's a pre-order bonus

[remote lintel]

the feather headpiece

from RAF rewards

[elfin wagon]

wht do i do with bozjan coins nd the fabric

[gaunt isle]

If I buy the game as a steam code and then redeem do I still get the 30 days of game time?

[pearl lion]

so, in another game, there were people paying others to use their RAF code. is that a thing in this game as well?

[remote lintel]

coins are traded for gear and garlean fabric is used for the quest

@gaunt isle yes

[pallid bluff]

what level does the multiplayer part of this game really start to kick in? bc at level 15 ish it’s basically all singleplayer

[remote lintel]

@pearl lion not really

[gaunt isle]

Alright, thank you!

[remote lintel]

lvl 15 is the first dungeon

[pearl lion]

and by pay, i mean in game currency

[pallid bluff]

and dungeons are recommended to be played in multi?

[remote lintel]

no theres a subreddit where people post their recruitment codes

@pallid bluff theyre required to be played with multiple people

1 tank 1 healer 2 dps

[pallid bluff]

ah

[twilit arch]

some people do offer gil when using their RAF Code but its not always done

[pallid bluff]

better start leveling up healer maybe

[pearl lion]

ah

[remote lintel]

you dont need to

[pallid bluff]

i heard healer kinda sucks on controller

[remote lintel]

no it doesnt

i play all healers on controller

in endgame content

[pearl lion]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/4521109?_ga=2.8075186.1297313968.1620096236-514230492.1618103850

[remote lintel]

its fine

[pallid bluff]

oh okay

[boreal storm]

Just play your class until you feel like changing

[pearl lion]

this is my main toon'

if it allows you to see them

I dont know if im a healer or not?

[slow isle]

Is there a difference in size between an fc’s private chambers and an apartment?

[remote lintel]

no

[slow isle]

Man, and they still charge a 200k difference.

[pearl lion]

does anyone here play on mateus?

[boreal storm]

It says you’re a conjurer, conjurer is green therefore a healer

[pearl lion]

ok thank you

just need to find someone who plays on mateus, whose willing to help me out along the way, and get their raf code

[remote lintel]

look on the RAF subreddit

i think its like /FFXIVRAF or something

[pearl lion]

yes, i found it

[leaden ginkgo]

Where can i buy the chocolate mount?, if i live , in a non promotion zone

[pearl lion]

what is the term im looking for? playing on Mateus

for example, i see elemental DC ( not sure what that means)

[remote lintel]

elemental is a data center

mateus is a world on the crystal data center

[solemn pine]

hey guys, I only have 1 day left and I've registered my payment method. Does it only charge after I've ran out of play days right ?

[remote lintel]

yes

[pearl lion]

so, would mine be Mateus CR ?

[remote lintel]

yes

[pearl lion]

or Crystal DC

[remote lintel]

on what

[slow isle]

Can I have both an fc’s private chambers and an apartment? Or like those 2 and a house, if one ever opens up on my server?

[pearl lion]

on reddit

[slate arrow]

Either A: wait for the EU version of the event, which may or may not come or B: find a US friend who will buy you 5 dollars worth of butterfinger

[pearl lion]

does the butterfinger thing work in Canada?

[remote lintel]

@pearl lion you just copy someones code and paste it into mog station

no

the promotion is US only

[slow isle]

It’s probably easier to be roommates than buy a house.

[pearl lion]

@remote lintel I know how that works, just seeing if i can find someone on mateus who is paying gil

[remote lintel]

then you would have to ask in game

[pearl lion]

just trying to properly identify tags to find someone

[solemn pine]

ty, is there any benefit of buying playtime card over recurring subscription ?

[remote lintel]

if you specifically want 60 days i guess

but theres no point in having a standard sub

[solemn pine]

does recurring sub activate my friend recruitment code ?

[short jasper]

Sometimes Amazon has a thing where doing Amazon purchases gets you ingame stuff, that's a time when buying the card through the 'zon is worth.

[slow isle]

So how does the digital upgrades work? I want the $80 one, but I’d rather like work my way up. Is that possible?

[remote lintel]

@solemn pine it means you applied someone elses code to your account beforehand

@slow isle the 80$ collectors is if you want to buy all collectors at once

if you buy 1 expac's collectors then you cant buy the 80$ bundle

you would have to buy them individually at that point

[solemn pine]

I mean to ask that do they get the reward if I use recurring sub instead of buying playtime card. I didn't read the whole thing when I enter my friend code

[remote lintel]

they get the reward in both instances

[solemn pine]

ty

that's all the questions I have. Thank you

[slow isle]

You’d still have to wait x amount of days with recruitment codes

[queen yoke]

how can I copy my character settings from one to another?

hud and stuff

[remote lintel]

documents > my games > ff14 > find your CHR folder > copy the stuff in that folder to the character folder you want

[queen yoke]

how do I know which is which? I have 3

[remote lintel]

the date modified is the date they were created

or you can open the folder and see the date modified of the contents which is when that character was last logged in

[queen yoke]

I see

[unreal folio]

quick questin, do relic weapons tend to reach the same ilvl as the savage raid weapons? for example Savage eden weapons are at ilvl535, do the Resistance weapons reach that on later patches?

[green fossil]

Hello, I got to level 19 and i need to get to 20 to get the next guild or main quest
I can't find any side quests and the remaining hunt log mobs are VERY hard
What can i do?

[remote lintel]

theyre higher at the very end @unreal folio

than savage weapons

@green fossil do the msq

oh wait

do fates

[boreal storm]

Redo a dungeon for exp

[unreal folio]

awesome, thnx for the info ^^

[green fossil]

Are they doable solo?

Never did one

[remote lintel]

if your msq is lvl 20 you definitely have done dungeons

since the first one is at 15

[green fossil]

Lol
Idk i'll try to go to one now

thanks

[native pollen]

can i obtain both anemos and physeos version of the same weapon?

is it a direct upgrade or are they seperate weapons?

[remote lintel]

whats the name of the msq @green fossil

@native pollen both

[native pollen]

bet

thank you

time to never sleep

[remote lintel]

the upgrade turns it into a new weapon

thats how relics work

[paper raptor]

Am i correct to assume gear doesn't matter in Bozja?

[native pollen]

wait

[green fossil]

Renewing the covenant

[native pollen]

so if i upgrade, i cant go back?

[twilit arch]

you can get replica of previous stages

so if you like the look of the anemos weapon, you can get a replica of it for glamour purposes

[remote lintel]

@green fossil thats lvl 14

[native pollen]

ah okay, because the physeos version of rdm will not fit the outfit i designed around the anemos version

[broken star]

Hi guys, I've been having difficulty finding a straight answer from just googling this - I want to know how best to renew my subscription from Australia. I tried to use my mastercard but got a 601 error, internet suggested crysta but I'm not sure if that works for Australia, does anyone know?

[green fossil]

ok I'm confused

[remote lintel]

is the quest red or something?

[boreal storm]

Character level and msq level are different

[green fossil]

Yeah it's red

[pearl lion]

what is a legacy server

[remote lintel]

then click it and read it

[little swift]

legacy are servers leftover from 1.0, and house characters from then

[native pollen]

i personally only use crysta to buy sub because there are horror stories of people's cards being declined and having their accounts banned

[little swift]

those characters are denoted by a special back tattoo

not really a relevant bit of information to new players

[pearl lion]

im returning

[remote lintel]

@broken star assuming your account is the correct region then either buy an EU game time card, or use crysta which should work for aus

[broken star]

To buy a game time card though do I use credit card? Because mog station won't accept my credit card

[remote lintel]

yes and you dont buy cards from mog station

you but them from retailers

[green fossil]

Ok never mind i'm an idiot
I was looking at another one

[broken star]

Okay, I haven't been able to find an Australian retailer for time cards

[boreal storm]

The quest says to put on the Monoa mask, that’s probably why it’s red

[broken star]

Are u in australia too? To buy crysta?

Does anyone know of an Australian retailer that sells time cards? Or at least once that accepts PayPal from Australia ir something?

[remote lintel]

amazon

[broken star]

Thank you, I just checked amazon, seems to be a physical card that comes from america and is only for a realm reborn :/

My sub expires tomorrow haha

I might just try and buy some crysta and risk it not working...

[remote lintel]

you can buy crysta with paypal

[torn lichen]

i figured it out

[pearl lion]

are servers within a data center, merged or something?

[random girder]

worlds within a data center can play with each other as in they can queue into the same duty

[pearl lion]

and can trade between eachother/>

[random girder]

you can also travel to other worlds in your data center to look at their market boards and such

kinda

[pearl lion]

currency?

[random girder]

well, buying something with gil on another server would be giving that gil to the player who sold the item

so technically

[pearl lion]

how about p2p

[random girder]

p2p?

[pearl lion]

player to player

[random girder]

should be able to trade tradeable items on other worlds

[pearl lion]

so, if someone from say, brynhildr traded someone gil thats on mateus

[patent citrus]

what's the tradeoff of exp if i use lv 80 and farm at bozjan?

allegory and revelation?

[random girder]

yeah that works

[fading aurora]

what does the text in chat mean? the guy has been spamming it non stop every 10 seconds

[remote lintel]

garland bell should work

[wooden schooner]

Question: is there maintenance every week at the same time, or just when they have an update/hotfix?

[patent citrus]

update/hotfix

[random girder]

only when theres an update/hotfix unless theres an emergency maintenance for whatever reason

[wooden schooner]

How much do you think I’d have to spend to outright buy all the pyros logograms?

[spark flower]

Hey guys, new player here. Quick question about the way the game can be played. Given that it’s an MMO, If I wanted to just play the game for the story and treat it as a single player experience, how much of the games content would I be missing?

I honestly don’t want to go through the whole endgame grind experience or grind in general. I would just like to play out the story.

[honest anvil]

well, you have to play with others for a lot of content

but those are very casual; the game does a good job finding others for you so i wouldnt worry

endgame raiding so far gives fairly optional lore so if you dont want to do those, i dont think you miss out too much

[fading aurora]

how good are npcs in dungeon? i got to a dung and it says i can use them injstead of players

[honest anvil]

They can get the dungeon done well enough ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[warped nest]

They will be slower

[honest anvil]

but there’s some weird scaling that makes running with them slower

[warped nest]

But you don't need to wait for queue

It is not weird

It is balancing

[honest anvil]

^ or that

[fading aurora]

how much slower

[warped nest]

Additional balancing with trust is you get less loot from the dungeon

[twilit arch]

trusts on average take around 30mins

[warped nest]

Like 25-30 minutes for the dungeon?

Normal party is around 15-20 ish

[fading aurora]

im on holminster switch

[warped nest]

Yup

We know

Same answer

Trust don't pull wall to wall

[fading aurora]

oh the npcs are called trusts i thought the dung u guys were talking about was called that

[warped nest]

In the future, if you want to do holminster with trust, you actually need to use the Trust UI

Not the Duty Finder UI

[fading aurora]

im in q for the player one i cant be bothered with npcs

[warped nest]

That's fine too

Trust is just an alternative

That's all

Have fun

[manic rune]

does anyone know what these checked cube furnishings are called?

[twilit arch]

Palace Pedestal

they're from bronze trimmed sacks from potd

[hallow grove]

they haven't been a thing for almost 1.5 years now

crafters got their skills homogenized in 5.18

[vital ruin]

Okay so to aug the crypt set you need the 3 mats from the nier raids
So copied factory puppets bunker and the new raid?

[undone copper]

oh man, i guess i dont need to rush certain crafters like it was recommended then

[little swift]

Now its recommended to level them simultaneously

For self sufficiency

[little swift]

Yes or sacks of nuts

Or savage books/winning rolls

[vital ruin]

Which sav books

[honest anvil]

e10 books for dusting

e11 books for twine and ester iirc

[vital ruin]

How many books

[honest anvil]

4

[vital ruin]

Do I need to be in 5.5 to access the last nier raid

[honest anvil]

psure no

a fren who didnt even do 5.4 did it first day

[vital ruin]

Oh

[honest anvil]

well, he did the dungeon of 5.4; didnt complete actual 5.4 to be precise

[vital ruin]

But he did the raid?

[steep drift]

hey i have an issue and i need help. hopefully someone knows bc i cannot find it anywhere online. i purchased a level skip to 70 for myu bard and upon hitting 80 i got a quest called The light of inspiration. but to finish the quest i must first finish the lvl 80 bard quest but non of the bard quests appear anywhere but i have all the bard skills. what do i do

[honest anvil]

ye, i dont think there’s any story reason to lock last nier raid in 5.5

[vital ruin]

I c

[heady schooner]

i have an old account that i stopped paying sub with the main story complete up to just after shadowbringers, would i be able to play as a free account like how its up to level 60/heavensward or whatever it is now or no?

[proud willow]

The Light of Inspiration requires you to finish one set of role quests

the role quests start in the Crystarium

[little swift]

!faq rolequest

[zinc orbit]

Role Quests FAQ

What are Role Quests?

Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.

At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.

I can't find where I left off!

No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests

[steep drift]

i finished all the role quests there up to lvl 76 and after beating the giant leapard deer thing, the bard guy never came back to the crystarium after completing to show me the next quest

[proud willow]

sorry, there's no F2P option for an account that owns the game

the level 78 quest might not necessarily start in the Crystarium

the next quest will always pick up where the last quest left off

[honest anvil]

link above says it starts in kholusia

[jade quartz]

It starts in Kholusia, in Gatetown outside the entrance to Eulmore.

Same place the last quest left off.

[steep drift]

ill try. just a thought tho, there is absolutely no way i would have found that without help, that should be fixed XD

[silk summit]

If I'm specifically trying to farm a ton of grand company seals, what's the most efficient way to go about it? Just running unsynched dungeons?

[honest anvil]

do highest level dungeons then turn in gears is one way

the 80 ones give close to 2k per piece

[silk summit]

Hrm, was wanting to do it solo, but I guess with healer pass the queus wouldn't be bad

[jade quartz]

You could 1) remember or 2) look at your last quest's journal to see where it left off.

[honest anvil]

soloable dungeons’ gears give less than 600 seals per piece iirc so up to you

[undone copper]

uhhh which crafter is easiest to get to 30 so i can start desynthesizing? i am so so full on armor

[jade quartz]

all the same

[undone copper]

[warped roost]

I found Esmond in Little Ala Mhigo, but he won't give me levequests. What am I missing?

Should I pick 2 archers for my squadron?

I have a thaumaturge and archer rn

[robust crow]

if you intend to do squadron dungeons

the only 2 DPS that are good are archers and arcanist

everyone else is too fucking stupid

if you don't intend to do squadron dungeons

it doesn't matter

[turbid pilot]

@warped roost are you a DoW/DoM?

You can't do the test as a DoH/DoL

[warped roost]

Yeah, PLD. But I never unlocked Levequests from the town I started in, so I fixed it

This is very informative, good thing I've been running nanasomi

[jade quartz]

you can change everyone in your squadron's class easily later on.

For the time being just pick the ones you like.

[midnight tinsel]

when healing on controller is there a fast way of switching between tank and boss ?

[jade quartz]

left/right on dpad to cycle enemies, up/down to cycle party list

[robust crow]

as stated above you can reclass anyone freely

just pick retainers you like the most

[upper cove]

I've ran out of seals to buy the books 🤣 the ones I've gotten from drops are only for tham. I just hit captain and I'm planning to switch GC soon so that'll take awhile

Anima took all my GC seals

[robust crow]

just greed all the drops you get from doing roulettes

[upper cove]

Few days ago didn't even have enough seals to send my squad out for missions

Yea I do

But i also spend a lot on glamour prisms

[robust crow]

everyone passes on them and it's literally just free seals

[upper cove]

Its getting better

[robust crow]

100 prisms are like 20k seals

I literally make like 100k seals every few days

[upper cove]

Yea nw. I know what to do 👍

[robust crow]

there's no way you spent enough glamour prisms to run out of seals lol

[upper cove]

I spent 80k on my anima before this

Thats how I ran out totally

[robust crow]

but anyway

just keep doing that

i have so many seals that I just dump them into whatever

I bought like 200 of the teleport tickets

I'm at over 1000 g7 dark matter

like 2000 ventures

hundreds of cordials

[honest anvil]

does the grind for 2nd and so on eurekan weaps get any shorter? i’m only at pagos but just wondering

[upper cove]

👍

[robust crow]

significantly shorter

the worst part of the first weapon is the level grind to 60

[jade quartz]

The only part of the weapon process that you don't have to redo (apart from Eureka progress and leveling separate from the weapon itself) is unlocking all the Logos actions in Pyros and Hydatos.

Apart from that, you have to redo all the actual weapon steps.

[whole fractal]

Does anyone know how long it takes for your receipt to be accepted and given a code for the Butterfingers promo? Assuming someone has done it here...

[robust crow]

which isn't nearly as bad

[honest anvil]

oh? elemental level is shared between all jobs?

[robust crow]

yes

[honest anvil]

lol 😂 idk where i got it that it’s separate

[slow isle]

Does the butterfingers promo have to be a receipt? Can you buy it online?

[whole fractal]

I believe you can, but I already bought mine from a store in person :c I don't want more candy...if I can help it

[left moth]

Ive heard of some codes going out but i haven't gotten mine yet (walmart physical receipt)

[slow isle]

Delivery’s freaking 35 bucks. Screw that.

[muted vapor]

So...Odin...is his queue that long, even for a tank, because he is a lot more challenging than the others isn’t it?(note: Im a new player in lv54 and I just unlock him)

[left moth]

Odin is considered an ex trial so people dont usually queue into it (compared to getting titan ex in mentor roulette)

[whole fractal]

Thanks Pack, that helps knowing codes are going out (although slowly?). Was worried I did something wrong ' ^'

[left moth]

A pf or just soloing it (lv70+) is easier if just want tje clear and not tje full experience

[rugged flicker]

Is this new Nestle promotion only with Butterfinger or can you also get it from a Crunch bar too, like with FFVII Remake?

[leaden ginkgo]

ah

[jade quartz]

ok Lamia just has too many people logged in right now.

Try again at a dead hour of the night or morning.

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[left moth]

Probably bots being onery so player count is high

[leaden ginkgo]

its 3am :X

[jade quartz]

On the West Coast it's not 1 yet

that's still fairly active time

[left moth]

Theres one mixed assortment that qualifies but generally speaking its to push butterfinger brand

[rugged flicker]

One mixed assortment?

[left moth]

'''Variety Bag of Minis Butterfinger, Crunch, & Baby Ruth Bars (90 Count), 35.9 oz.

Variety Pack of Full Size Butterfinger, Crunch, Baby Ruth & 100 Grand Bars (20 Count)'''

[dusty jungle]

It definitely wouldn't be any Nestle product as they do not own the butterfinger brand anymore. You should stick to only the butterfinger brand products.

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi guys idk if buy or no final fantasy, it's possible find a companys for play if im new in the game?

[silver lintel]

where do you get thavnairian alumen?

also i'm not entirely sure what you mean but you can't join an fc on trial

[jade quartz]

You should try the free trial if you haven't yet, it has no time limit and you can play through the entire base game and first expansion.

Unfortunately you can't be in a Free Company (player guild) while on the free trial

but you can be in the Novice Network which is a chat channel for new players and "mentors" who have been around a long time

Hi all, new here and just got back to FF after a long time away. Started new char and wanted to go summoner, last time I played smn was around 2016 so im a bit confused with rotations now. Am I best still casting DoTs at the start or should I be opening with Egi Assault etc?

[robust notch]

DoTs always go out first

What level are you?

[pine onyx]

I've seen people saying to use lvl 50 MSQ xp rewards to level alt jobs

Is it something I should do if I'm rushing to level 60 to get dancer as main job?

[fiery ginkgo]

62 sum here.
but.

pre tri:
Miasma -> Bio -> Bane (if multiple enemies) -> energy drain -> 1 ea egis (weave in fester) -> ruin...
recast miasma bio at 3 seconds. Egis best used when you need to move and attack at the same time.

things to note is that in priority: energy drain should never be off cooldown. Try to keep bio and miasma on your target at all times. Egi assaults should always be charging. you should never have them at 2 charges

[glossy flare]

It can be beneficial to keep one charge around though, both as a movement and weaving tool

[fiery ginkgo]

cant weave in egi assaults as they trigger gcd

[glossy flare]

that's... exactly the point though

they are instant gcds

so you can weave ogcds

[fiery ginkgo]

my bad im dumb

[glossy flare]

[fiery ginkgo]

No wonder people ask me "what are you doing" when I just...stand there dropping all my egis and my character just stands there.

but in my defence energy drain was on CD and I had no aether

[glossy flare]

Yeah, there are more ogcds later

But it's good to get into the habit of only weaving after instant casts

[fiery ginkgo]

Hm. Seems a long way for me atm.

Then again Im kinda stuck on my job quests till much later in heavensward(?)

(Next unlock is dreadflare)

[glossy flare]

SMN really clicks at lvl 70 or 72, however you want to view it

Oh yeah, I see

It can be a bit annoying that all skills from 52-60 come from job quests, especially on preferred worlds

[fiery ginkgo]

i dont mind the job quests. I just wish they didnt let me accept the quest until...I could actually access the area.

[glossy flare]

well Stormblood has jobquests too, they just don't reward skills

except for the lvl 70 one

so you don't feel as gimped

[fiery ginkgo]

i know this wont happen till I start throwing money at squenix...but where does my xp go if I continue playing smn at 80?

does it just disappear into the void

[glossy flare]

into the void

[fiery ginkgo]

rip

[glossy flare]

For that reason lvl 80 duties usually offer alternative rewards

Like tomes

[fading helm]

does the trial have a MGP limit like the gil cap?

[glossy flare]

I don't think so

wouldn't make much sense to me anyway, MGP rewards are pretty specific

[robust notch]

If you want to rush to get Dancer as a main job, you should focus exp on one job to get it to 60 asap

Instead of spreading the exp out between jobs

[pine onyx]

I thought so

Thanks

[robust notch]

[heavy wadi]

it's from diadem

[leaden ginkgo]

i tried but there's only grade 4, i just want the base stuff

trying to make this

[heavy wadi]

you can't get it anymore

[honest anvil]

You have to attune to all aether currents in that area to start flying

[green grail]

you have to collect aether currents in each zone, there's around 10 or so laying around the zone and 5 are unlocked through and msq

[high otter]

Thanks

[shut panther]

You only want to make grade 4 stuff now, the earlier stuff is pointless

[high otter]

I thought aether currents is just another type of quick travel, after you unlock them all

[shut panther]

No, they're how you earn flying

[pearl mesa]

How long does it take Frontline Roulette to just give up on collecting 72 people and start a run? Or am I misremembering that it does that?

Because I seem to remember seeing that it'll start with fewer people if it takes too long to get the full 72, but I can't remember how long.

[slow isle]

Can you buy the butterfingers on Amazon? It’s way cheaper

[vital ruin]

Is the tower at paradigms breach the recent alliance raid

[pearl mesa]

Paradigm's Breach is the most recent alliance raid, yes.

[vital ruin]

Ah so MSQ progression doesnt matter
I'm at 5.0 and I unlocked it

[pearl mesa]

You need at least a $5 minimum, but other than that, I think it should work.

[left moth]

Yes although will be spending 5 bucks or more no matter where you buy it from

[vital ruin]

How does the weekly reward limit work exactly

Do I only need/greed what I want or all the loot

[pearl mesa]

Only need/greed what you really want, because you can only get one item per week.

I have a list of what IL all my gear for my main alt classes is at, so I can tell what's an improvement.

Non-equipment loot is free game, you can need/greed that however you want.

Stuff like minions and orchestrion rolls.

You also only get the "breach coin", which is required to upgrade the best tomestone gear, once per week.

[warped nest]

To clarify, you need three coin, one from each alliance raid

But the breach coin, as mentioned

Is a once per week reward

[vital ruin]

Ya ik
If I need for the hairstyles will I get it guranteed

[warped nest]

Nope

[pearl mesa]

No, because other people may also Need it.

[warm snow]

Afaik hairstyles aren't included in the weekly limit

[warped nest]

You are competing with other players

[pearl mesa]

But you can keep trying, those aren't limited to once a week.

[vital ruin]

Ohh

[warm snow]

Neither are orchestrion rolls or the minions

[vital ruin]

So only the gear?

[pearl mesa]

Yes.

[warm snow]

Yeah

[warped nest]

Yeah, people grind the hell out of the glamour coffer on the first alliance raid when it was fresh

[vital ruin]

Coins doesn't have limits right?

[warm snow]

Coin is one a week

[primal ermine]

1 per week

[warped nest]

No weekly limit for the first two Nier raid

[warm snow]

But only the breach coin

[vital ruin]

So I can aug crypt only once a week?

[pearl mesa]

The first two are used to upgrade the less good tomestone gear.

Which still isn't exactly bad.

[vital ruin]

But don't u need all 3 to aug the crypt

[warped nest]

The first two alone can be used to upgrade the Allegory gear

[pearl mesa]

Yes. You can run the earlier ones as many times a week as you want, the coins are unlimited drop.

[vital ruin]

Revelation

[warped nest]

But it is not really worth the effort

All three coin is used for Revelation gear

[vital ruin]

Revelation gear
Don't u need 3 coins

Bruh

[warped nest]

But the third coin is weekly limited

I know what I said

[vital ruin]

So I can just aug the revelation gear once a week?

[warped nest]

You didn't read what I said

The upgrade via the coin is once per week

[vital ruin]

Fuuck

[void cargo]

so, I have an rtx 3080, and I've maxed out all the graphics settings in the game, and the textures on certain things like clothes or armor pattern still look like they came from a ps2 game, is this just how the game looks or are there other methods to make it look better?

[warped nest]

But you can get the upgrade mats from other sources

Savage raid, and hunts

[pearl mesa]

Crystarium gear can be upgraded as often as you want; it only needs the first two coins, or the nutsacks. Cryptlurker gear can only be upgraded once a week, because you need all three coins and you can only get the Breach coin once per week.

[vital ruin]

So there are 11 pieces so I need 11 weeks to get i530?!

[warped nest]

Welcome to endgame gearing

[glossy flare]

The game is, at its core at least, about 8 years old at this point

[vital ruin]

Bruh what

[glossy flare]

So yes, just how it looks

[vital ruin]

Idk what to say

If you rely solely on nier raid then ye, 11 weeks

[vital ruin]

And that's just for one job type

I can't do trains on PS4

[void cargo]

bummer

[vital ruin]

So only raids

[glossy flare]

You can also upgrade cryptlurker via nuts

[warped nest]

There is no real need for i530

Unless you just want to hit i530

[vital ruin]

You can't do trains on the PS4

[vital ruin]

Savage?

BiS?

[honest anvil]

People cleared savage with i510 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[pearl mesa]

I'm currently at IL 509 for my main class (with some Augmented Crypt gear and some other stuff) and have done everything except the current Savage content.

[vital ruin]

Oh

[glossy flare]

Savage would be another way to upgrade cryptlurker btw

[warped nest]

What Llauqs said

[vital ruin]

Oh right right

I forgot about books

[glossy flare]

the "slow" process is only for people who do not interact with savage

[warped nest]

What I mean is i530 is a goal, but it is not absolute necessity

[honest anvil]

Higher i510 makes savage a lot easier but not a must-have

[warped nest]

Don't forget that to get BiS, you don't go for full augmented crypt

[vital ruin]

All left side aug crypt right?

[honest anvil]

No

[vital ruin]

Oh

[glossy flare]

the individual pieces of your BiS depend on your job

[warped nest]

Both savage gear and augmented crypt are i530

[honest anvil]

Bis for all jobs is a mix of both crypt and savage gears

[glossy flare]

but it's usually a good mix between cryptlurker and savage drops

[warped nest]

You pick the one with the beneficial secondary stat

[vital ruin]

Damn now idk which piece I should spend revelation on

[warped nest]

Because they both have the same primary stat

[glossy flare]

!faq balance

[warped nest]

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

The Balance

Discord

[warped nest]

Jinx?

[glossy flare]

check there for your job

[vital ruin]

Alrighty thanks :)

[honest anvil]

Lol

[glossy flare]

[warped nest]

Then again, BiS is just a goal, not a necessity

Don't break your back trying to BiS all your jobs

[vital ruin]

So do I just buy the battle ready hairstyle and if I win in a roll later on I can sell it?

[warped nest]

Anywhere around 520+ is more than good enough for Endwalker

[vital ruin]

Ah

[glossy flare]

even 510 should be fine

not like playing through the story is challenging content

[warped nest]

Tbf, it is not difficult to get to i520

[honest anvil]

Dont get too hung up on “i must have good good gears” to do savage. Gears help for sure but doing mechanics and rotation help more

[glossy flare]

true

[vital ruin]

Nah cos I wanna do savage later so I thought aug crypt is mandatory cos I see a lot of raiders having BiS

[warped nest]

If it is mandatory

Then savage raid would become a catch 22 scenario

[glossy flare]

I mean it definitely helps and is worth working towards

But no need to force yourself so hard

[vital ruin]

I c

[warped nest]

Catch 22: You need good gear to clear savage, but the only way to get good gear is to clear savage

[vital ruin]

Lul

[warped nest]

Savage can be cleared without the best gear, better gear just make it easier and comfier to clear

[vital ruin]

I c

[warped nest]

If you aren't familiar with savage raid

I strongly recommend doing the most current EX trial

It drops 525 weapon

[vital ruin]

Diamond?

[warped nest]

Yup

[vital ruin]

I'm at 5.0 patch

[warped nest]

Progress your msq

[vital ruin]

Alrighty

[honest anvil]

Current savage tier is locked behind 5.2 at least

so get to at least that

[warped nest]

/\

[vital ruin]

Is ruby weapon in 5.2 or 5.3

[open ember]

5.2

Just finish the story completely at this point

You're practically almost there

[vital ruin]

I c

[leaden ginkgo]

How and What is Beast Tribe Daily? And What are thier rewards?

[obsidian patio]

They're basically daily quests from friendly representatives of various beast tribes of the game

in terms of common rewards they all have their own mount and a minion or two.

[left moth]

Each expansion and arr have different tribes ( arr a little more grindy)

[obsidian patio]

Some have more unique stuff like housing furniture, glamour items, emotes, or crafting materials

[high otter]

Is there a reason why ||Lyse looks like she was born in Ishgard, and not in Ala Gannha? Everyone there is dark-skinned dark-haired, why she looks like a blonde Snow White||

[warm snow]

That's racist

[high otter]

and it's racist because?..

[warm snow]

And there's plenty of ||pale skinned people in ala mhigo||

[glossy flare]

Ala Mhigans are pretty mixed tbh

I wouldn't pin them on anything specific

[warm snow]

One of the more important characters in stormblood is ||also white||

[high otter]

Maybe later I'll see mixed, but so far it looks like they all are from Middle East. Also their culture gives a hint for that

[glossy flare]

Their culture definitely is middle eastern inspired for the most part, yes

throw some India in there maybe for good measure

Doesn't really work to find 1:1 real world equivalents for the cultures in this game anyway

[high otter]

Yes, that's why she seems completely out of context

[glossy flare]

Why though?

[heavy wadi]

not really

[high otter]

because I already explained above why

[glossy flare]

Yes but this is a fantasy world

A culture can be inspired by some real world equivalent yet the people may look completely different

[high otter]

Yet they all share common look, cept of her

[pulsar escarp]

it could possibly be something similar to the situation with?? some south africans?

I'm pretty sure her father was darker skinned though so who knows what's going on

[glossy flare]

Not really tbh, again there are plenty of fair skinned Ala Mhigans

pretty important NPCs too

[obsidian patio]

Something that I must note is that highlander females, which is what Lyse is, didn't exist back in 1.0

[green grail]

||she grew up away from ala mhigo or something, so maybe she didnt get as tan|| either way #archived-lore-spoilers territory

[slate arrow]

why is there lore discussion in my QnA channel

[vital ruin]

If I roll greed on an item and someone else rolls need
He will win the roll no matter how low his need is right?

[pulsar escarp]

question was asked lol we tried to answer despite not being it

[glossy flare]

Yes

[pulsar escarp]

yep

[slate arrow]

Correct

[vital ruin]

I c

[warm snow]

You can only roll need on stuff that matches your job

So a tank can only roll need on fending gear etc

[warped nest]

Any items that aren't job equipments can be need by everyone

This includes mounts, minion, triple triad cards, furniture, etc

[vital ruin]

Certain items that cannon be sold on the mb
Can only be gotten via need/greed only once right?

[warped nest]

Nope

[warm snow]

Yes

[warped nest]

Oh, certain

OK, yeah, certain items

[vital ruin]

I c

[warm snow]

Stuff like minions

And mounts

[vital ruin]

Coffers?

[warm snow]

Not really

Some coffers are unique

[vital ruin]

I c

[warm snow]

And you can't roll for them again if you have one in your inventory

[slate arrow]

Stuff like the 2B coffer is not sellable iirc

[vital ruin]

Ah

[warped nest]

Can't be sold on MB and can only be acquired once are not fully overlap

[vital ruin]

So aslong as 2B coffer is not in your inv you can roll for it again?

[warped nest]

Yeah

[warm snow]

Iirc 2b coffer isn't even unique

[slate arrow]

Yes, which is why rolling for it was so busted back before they added more to the loot pool

[vital ruin]

Even after you used it?

[slate arrow]

Since once you opened it you no longer had a 2B coffer

[vital ruin]

Dam

[slate arrow]

And so you could roll again

[vital ruin]

Is it tradeable

[warm snow]

Ni

2b coffer is so old almost no one rolls for it now anyways

You'll be fine if that's what you want

[vital ruin]

Nah already got it
So no point in rolling again
Can't sell/trade

[warm snow]

Yeah, just pass/discard it if you got a duplicate

It's stupid easy to get so no one would want it even if you could sell it

[warped nest]

Or you can set out

[grand kelp]

Hi, did anyone try to use the Butterfinger promo code for Chocorpokkur mount on an EU data center? Does it work?

[slate arrow]

As it's a Mogstation code, it's redeemable across all regions

It's just actually acquiring one that's the hard part

[grand kelp]

I'll try, thank you! 🙂

[vital ruin]

If I lose on the rolls on the tower of paradigms breach
I can roll again on next run right? Or will I reach weekly cap even if I lose

[glossy flare]

only loot you actually get counts towards the weekly cap

so if you lose you can just run it again to roll again

[vital ruin]

Ah I c

[leaden ginkgo]

marauder or lancher?

[robust notch]

What?

[heavy wadi]

they're two entirely different roles

[leaden ginkgo]

which its better for person like combat and take kill

[glossy flare]

Marauder is a tank, Lancer is a melee dps

if that helps

both are good

[leaden ginkgo]

if i want ever combat and do high damage which its better?

[robust notch]

Lancer

[glossy flare]

well lancer will do higher dmg

[robust notch]

Marauder isn't a dps, it's a tank

[glossy flare]

just by being a dmg dealer

[leaden ginkgo]

i hope to dont find the supp i find in rank on league or i insta died

xd

i like the fight for this i ask i dont want wrong choose and cry for all demo

[primal ferry]

um hey guys I'm new here and new to the game and I think I'm having a bug with my menu? and I haven't found any info about it anywhere and I thought I'd try here

[glossy flare]

There are no wrong choices

All classes are good

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.

[vital ruin]

What ilvl is the recent nier raid gear

[obsidian patio]

520

[vital ruin]

Ooh

[primal ferry]

I'm in the game on ps4, been playing for a few hours today, but suddenly my options menu overlay isn't responding? Like it will bring up the menu and the cursor is on Character but if I try to navigate, it acts like the menu isn't up

just targets whoever if I press the dpad

[vital ruin]

Does it have better stats than crypt

[leaden ginkgo]

i hope i want go in and be high damage

[vital ruin]

Or aug exhalchic

[primal ferry]

Tried mouse mode and everything no dice

[robust notch]

It's 520

Cryptlurker is 520

Augmented Exarchic is 520

[vital ruin]

Crypt is also 520

[robust notch]

Which is better depends in the substats per class

You'll have to look that up yourself

[vital ruin]

I c

[primal ferry]

not too sure if I hard reset the game if I'll lose any progress, thought I'd ask y'all

[glossy flare]

losing progress is pretty much impossible due to this being an MMO

[viscid fossil]

Game save on your character not your local client

[glossy flare]

so might as well try a restart

[primal ferry]

okay, wasn't sure about when it saves to the server or whatever and I did a million msq today

[viscid fossil]

Also MMO like Cypher, impossible unless you delete the character off the server.

[robust notch]

It saves for every step you take basically

[primal ferry]

Cool cool ok I'll try a reset

thanks guys
