Well i get it now. But this seems kinda complicated for a visual system
Long story short, keep gear dont sell or throw it away if you want to glamour it
The glamour dresser let's you make templates with the gear for easier mass glamour
Keep in mind though, you have a cap
Although you'll either need to be at a glamour dresser or have retrieved the piece if you want to glamour something with it in the field.
and if you can, always look to put the pieces into the armiore if possible
It's almost identical to how WoW xmog used to work before they added the wardrobe system.
the reason why we dont call it transmog is because they are two different systems
Whats armior
Its a cabinent that you can store seasonal and other gear thats applicable
Stores event gear and lv50 job gear
Which of them? I'm Trusted with sylphs and still can't get it, with gil or leaves.
Its right next to the glamour dresser
A place for achievement/event gear basically
By job gear you mean like goldsmith and stuff not classes right?
WoW's is easier now. Prior to the addition of the wardrobe system, however, you had to have the item physically in your possession in order to use it for xmog. Just like you do currently in XIV.
i mean i got some from the amajaa for doing the rank 3 beast quests
Job gear is gear only that job can wear
Oh
oh, so I have to actually do the quests?
And it comes from their job quests
good to know, ty
they are rewards yeah
So if i habe gear that i dont need, and i dont want to keep it for glamour. Should i just sell it all? Or is there some disassembly mechanic i should be doing
Desynth but you need Lv30 crafters for that
You can exchange green and blue quality gear for GC seals with sufficient rank in your grand company as well.
This may sound a little assholey though but when you're doing dungeons and roullettes, roll on EVERYTHING unless you're doing raids that are actually meant to gear people up
GC is a great way to make gil and money, and alot of people are lazy enough to buy glamour seals and cordials off the bulk
*prisms
If not, they're just a good way to earn glamour prisms without having to buy them
I was prepared to be very confused for a minute there because you said DR and that doesn't mean what you seem to think it does.
DR is Delubrium Reginae which does not have need/greed looting.
btw DR means delubrum reginae just a heads up
DR is not really associated with duty roulette
DR i meant daily roulette
And no one says that
Just say roulette
DR refers to a specific piece of content.
Ah ill have it changed then so i dont cause any misunderstandings but my point stands
But otherwise yes. It's standard practice to roll on anything in dungeons to exchange for GC seals or desynth
Hey if they didn't roll, they didn't roll
Its not really being an asshole
Its free loot for you
The real assholes are the ones that dont roll at all and make you wait for the loot timer to run out before you finally get the piece of gear
usually at the end of the dungeons, so if you dont want gear or seals just pass it its good manners to not make the other person wait
You are given a substantial amount of time to roll on a piece of gear you need
So they cannot complain if they did not roll
But I agree with your statement. I too roll on everything to turn into seals or desynth

Its free money so theres really no reason not to and its fair enough since everyone gets a chance
anyone else get this bug where they are looking at the ground and can't do anything? after logging in or teleporting
that aside i think we answered his question
Have you tried relogging?
Did you try relogging?
yeah but it keeps happening
You might want to put in a ticket for that.
I usually just wait to see if it fixes itself, if not I relog after a bit
every second teleport or login :/ I will send a ticket
That's the sort of thing the dev team needs to know about so they can fix it. Because if it's happening to you, it's probably happening to other people too, and that means there's a problem.
mhm
It happens when the game loads faster than your hard drive
all you can do is wait until your character is loaded in
It happened before, but the loading screen covered it up
so could I say my hard drive is too good for the game
Whats the best way to level 30-55 without main story?

A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.
Heavensward i210 set: Dyeable upon opening up the coffer received from completion of your level 60 job quest. Should you have disposed of any particular pieces, they can also be bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Ardolain in the 'Exchange Centurio Seals (Advanced)' option.
Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.
Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.

how much time do you get for beating bosses in CLL
20mins I think? Or 30
are there any settings that I should change that arent like that by default? like usually there are settings in like targeting or smthn that people say is a requirement
@cosmic parrot it's all preference
do you prefer target type cone or ignore depth
I think I'm using cone
is there a way to make camera follow targeted enemies?
yes but it sucks
Yeahh that isn't rly a super useful setting

What causes Ruin 4 stacks to build?
using egi assaults
Egi assaults
except for titan shield
Egi assaults 1 under 74...assault 2 post 74
Aha, that makes sense now. Thanks.
Entirely unrelated question, are there any jobs particularly good at FATEs? (aside blu)
Don't think so but checking
i usually go with mch or brd when i fate farm
tanks if you're going to do boss fates
but like anything works really
do u get increased xp for all things including quest rewards when u eat a food item that gives +3 percent bonus xp or is it only on monster kills
A kiting job then. DNC?
machinist is possibly a better choice in heavy mob situations since mobbing too many is hard to sustain through as a phys ranged
you can more easily burst them one by one if you need to with machinist
only mob kills @minor saffron
DNC has iffy damage in comparison with mch but it could probably do it
if you can survive the large amounts of mobs dancer isn't a bad choice
Fair. I was thinking DNC gets a free heal, but their dps solo is probably lower
tyvm
If you're farming for memories then there's probably no issue :p
using chocobo helps
Preplanning farming all the Shared FATEs
ahh
I may suggest WAR if you're soloing fates, then, its self heals make it pretty invincible in overworld content
Not weird, I might do that instead yes.
are free companies/guilds a story unlock as well
i see
How do I dive underwater?
if you have the ability unlocked. it is ctrl+space by default on keyboard
i wish we could do more than 9 custom deliveries
You mean 12
yes
On my macro should waste not II be before innovation
Isn't that wasting 1 step of waste not II
wait you can do 12 ???
Yes?
yes?
12 max, 6 per person
Yes...innovation is more important buff and waste not lasts for alot of steps already
ohhh mb yeah 12. i wish we could do more than 12, there are so many classes
True
so minions arent for utility right? just for looks
bet, can I rename it?
no
There's a mini game in the gold saucer which uses them for an Rts game
Is the Amaro the only mount we get for leveling all classes (to 80) or was there one at 50 for ARR, 60 for HW, and 70 for Storm?
so SB was the first to have a mount associated, ok
Shadowbringers is the only
Sb is stormblood
Crown glams too
Heya, I purchased the standard edition (the payment has posted on my bank account) but the game still says Free Trial. How long does it take to update?

can i join a guild from another server when iam on pheonix ?
Statics are a set group of 8 people to do high end content together
And the people don't need to be in the same Fc
Is it possible to setup your combo buttons like on the pvp place
No
not without mods
I feel like camera is to zoomed in on me when in raid, is there a way to zoom it out a bit?
Scroll in

whats the fastest way to do bossom buddies I + II?
@faint flare https://i.imgur.com/9TJXbfK.png
iirc that one is pretty much just dodge telegraphed aoes and interrupt the one interruptable cast
Now I can actually see them boss lol
Anyone know anyplace I can go to quickly kill and grind exp with my chocobo for bossom buddies?
I tried to interrupt with ice and electric but he is immune
You use flying sardine
For interrupts
That's blue interrpt
Not rams
Rams doesn't interrupt
oh
Interrupt and stun are different things
Or freeze rather, since that's what Ram's does
can you trade elemental shards with other players?
Yes
Any mentors able to answer my question?
Also I think my minions are glitch, everytime I teleport or do a dungeon or raid the minion I pick leaves and it keeps putting the same damn minion everytime
How I fix that?
The I bufallow calf keeps coming back
Anywhere that has enemies your level
your minion doesnt appear in duties
every now and then i get this message out of nowhere, any thoughts or ideas on if i should pay it any attention or not
if you want to switch your minion then pick a different one
I know, i mean the place where i can most efficently kill adds quickly to get my choco count
Yes I pick a different minion
@onyx kiln upload your settings to the cloud again in character select
outside of fates @strange coral
doesn't really matter where you go. easiest would just be find some place with active fates
and do those
But when I go into a duty and come back out the Buffalo minion comes back
since lvl sync will complete the challenge log
I guess ill do it as blue mage then
It keeps switching it without me eating to switch to that minion
There's no guild finder in game
@tulip skiff even if you put away your minion?
oh ok
Yeah I tried everything putting minion away. Putting favorites. No matter what I do the damn Buffalo keeps coming out

Idk how to fix
did you try dismissing it?
are you sure youre actually switching the minion through minion guide and not switching something else
are you hitting the buffalo icon on your hotbar and hitting that?
Yeah it’s pretty simple

Hi, I'm assuming people are tired of hearing questions like this, but I'd like to play Astrologist to learn the game rather than leveling a character first then swapping (Currently level 26 White Mage). Am I able to buy a boost of some sort on White Mage, then unlock Astrologist at the starting level to begin playing it? (This way I'll still take time to learn the class).
Teleport or go on a dungeon the damn thing is back
did you try relogging
@ebon escarp no, astrologian requires you to do story
you cant boost white mage for it
log out and log back in @tulip skiff
Am I able to buy the story completion on White Mage to unlock it? Or would I need to buy both the level boost and the story skip?
Today it just decided to try and fix it
can try submitting a bug report
You would need both
So it says I need to progress further in the main scenario to unlock ciompanies, im trying to get a chocobo. which quest will I need to finish to be able to join a company?
@ebon escarp i mean you learn how to play your class by doing the story and doing duties with it
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Top half
so buying a story boost would defeat the purpose
What's so special about the dragonsung tools
tysm ❤️
I don't want to learn anything about White Mage, just Astrologist, if that makes sense?
Learning white mage will teach you the basics of healing
and if you skip the story
then you might as well just skip the entire story
because you wouldnt understand anything in the story at that point
Ohh, so the story is a 1 time thing, not per character.
correct
er per Job*
It's one and done
and white mage is fine for learning healing as vinyl said
if you buy a job boost itll skip job quests and boost it to 70, msq boost doesnt do anything
Oo! So POTENTIALLY I could boost an AST job then complete the story as it to learn.
Without it being unlocked?
Do Unreal trials have new mechanics or are they the same as Ex's but with higher stats?
yes but it would be a waste of exp since you would be so overleveled
You don't need to unlock the job to use the boost
Unreal is just the ex at 80
Is there a place to see what locations offer what Levemetes?
Yush
If I used the boost, does that force the job to unlock and be playable early? I just dont like the feeling of playing 1 job that I will be switching from as soon as I can.
yes you will have astrologian at lvl 70
Hmm, ok thank you both for all of the information!
you could level a dps or tank while you go through msq for astro
so that way if you need to switch you play a different class for other content or whatnot
One caveat--you'll be paying money to level a job you might not know you'll enjoy
Oh intersting
aka 5 months
interesting*
On the other hand, AST is probably the best healer to learn ogcd prioritization in old content
boosting a job isnt recommended for your first class
^
but you sound like youre going to do it anyway so
there is ultimately very little reason to have a level 70 job if you're doing the story from the beginning
That said, the ability to not have to wait until Ishgard to practice AST is a plus
So there's advantages and disadvantages.
yeah but it would basically make all exp from ARR and HW moot
just deleted exp basically that you wont get back
I have completed "Kurobana Vs Gyorin". The first part of the Namazu Beast Tribe Unlocking Quest starts in The Azim Steppe in Othard. But I have no clue where the NPC named "Floundering Namasu" is.
17, 37 in Azim Steppe
Wondering if a compromise would suffice, boost through A realm reborn + a level boost on another job, then play AST through the other MSQs
if you story skip ARR you wont understand the rest of the expansions
the story is linear
You wont like my response to that
well if you dont care about the story then just buy the full story skip
I'd like to play AST rather than another job first. Feels a bit daunting if I have no interest in another job.
That may be the best option, waste exp but at least I can learn the job!
Are the dragonsung tools the relics
if AST is literally the only job you're interested in, then sure
Yes
Does it glow
Yes
So you just craft the oddly stuffs and you get a glowy relic?
Once it's fully done
What ilvl is it
Materia slots?
None

Practicing other jobs too much and hurt the muscle memory on my main job is not really a thing right?
Like I shouldn't worry too much about practicing other job making my performance on my main job worse?
Depends how well you are at retaining information
Personally I do get a little bit rusty after some time. But it's usually a matter of hours to get back into it

How do you guys dress your newly leveled job to 80?
You mean gear or Glamour?
however i want
Gear ilvl
!faq gearguide
If you have money you can grab a set of crafted gear on Market Board
not the augmented version
only the non augmented version is crafted
need tomes to augment it
Right, Augmented needs Allegory
I tried farming eden , but no luck cuz everyone is rollin
Yeah, you can just farm Eden to get some random pieces, then fill the rest of the slots with crafted
Also Weekly Nier gives a piece (520)
And Bozja's DR also give pieces on left side (510)
sprint macro is solid and very recommended. You can't macro item use unfortunately, so no macro for using pots
Sad
very much so

How does one deal with the two adds in thordan ex without a tank? they don't seem to respond to dps enmity
can i use fantasia to just try out different stuff like customizing but then not save if i actually dont want to change
Yes
oh really?
Don't confirm the changes and it won't be consumed
fantasia isn't consumed until you confirm changes
do i just use it from my inventory
oh i have to remove all my gear?
Just keep in mind that when you're in the character creation, you can't have your gear on and you won't have access to hairstyles unlocked by modern aesthetics items.
Since some gear is gender or race locked, yes.
ok how do i edit now im on the character selection screen
re-edit character?
Yes
ye
When you create characters you can save appearance data, to reuse for other characters or retainers and such
If you don't want to use an appearance you saved before, you can skip it
Yes
Highlanders are hyurs
So question. Is there anyway to do MSQ dungeons without having to use the rigid template?
wym
Template?
Like only two dps, two tank, etc.
if you have a full premade party then role restrictions are removed
If you make your own party you can do whatever you want
Oh very good to know
I usually play rpgs without healers because they kinda make it so you don’t need to learn about the bosses >~<
i can change my beard on highlander ? I dont see option on hairstyle

but i feel like i will regret it lol
Wished we had better beards, tried to make the cinematic WoL but the closest thing was a retired science teacher cosplaying as paladin
lollll
dungeons in generally are more efficient, but if your queue times are 15mins+ potd is going to be more efficient
so in general, tank/healers should do dungeons. dps potd/hoh
Yeah :/ I'm dps
ultimately tho, do what you enjoy more
I get insta queue as healer
Or queue at 1 AM for na
personally i dont like potd, so i bear the dungeon queues 🤷♀️

Hey guys, quick question. Been playing wow for a long time, I'm kinda over with it and looking into getting into FF XIV. This is question for former wow players since I know there is alot of you guys. I don't have much time but would still love to progress through game normally, what's the state in FF XIV with quests like wow had "Daily/Weekly and repgrinds". Does it require as much time as wow or is it more casual friendly?
you can be gone for months and gear in a few hours for all content at endgame
there is 0 rush to do anything

hi guys, how do i unlock eden promise? i did the worlds apart quest i believe but i didnt get the continuation, and i dont see any blue quests in amh araeng
did you complete 5.3/
ah i didnt, ill check which msq is the requirement ty!
so for the diadem, the materials that you get aren't related to any recipes right
they are related to the ishgard restoration recipes
like it's not more efficient to level your crafters first for some reason

!faq rolequests
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

Theres this guy thats been killing all the wild boars im trying to learn bristle from on my BLU
only in wolves den
and he's been laugh emoting me for 5 minutes and i dont know what to do
I tried but he's been following me
I ended up just logging off teh game because of how frustrated im feeling
then report him
You can world visit to another server
I dont get it
^
because they have nothing else to do
I literally
have said NOTHING to this guy
except "Hey can you not kill that boar? im trying to learn spell for blu"
If they are harassing you and not just doing their own quest or mat farming or whatever, report it.
you can also just visit another world to get away from him
and learn it on a different server
Yeah, that's clear harassment - interfering with another player's ability to play the game.
Especially with the emoting at you.
This is awesome. I have completed all of the Namasu Beast Tribe Daily Quests. And I checked all the gear that the vendors had. They want anywhere from 14k gil to 23k gil
That's like... nothing.
But the quests to unlock said beast tribe was well worth it
14-23k is super cheap.
I think I rather make them myself.
If i has to take me months to farm all of the materials. I will gladly do it.
Or. If I can gather the materials. I can get someone in my FC to make the gear.

the weekly eureka challanges you have, they go after your current synced level right?
Got it
Me and friends are on a free trials for a month and was wondering if we buy the expansions do we have to pay for the sub? Or does it still count as a free trail
Fates can drop them but it's fucking terrible
Once you buy the game you're permanently off the trial and have to sub to keep playing after the 30 free days
And clusters came from Magitek, right? Are higher rank mobs better for farming?>
Magitek yes
So say I’m 4 days in and I buy a expansion does it make me pay for the sub?
And remove the remaining days?
how about through steam?
well you have to own the game first if your on the trial
Once you buy and register the Base game you're given 30 days free sub
Trial has no time limit

why are they so creepy looking tough
It's their design

do i need amourant and the dying gasp to enter the copied factory?
Probably?

Anyone remember the price of the shadowbringers collectors edition when it came out? Any currency is fine
physical or digital
Phys, with the statue
200 USD
ty!!
https://i.imgur.com/hDBHk1o.jpg that's a lot of ??? What did I miss?
looks like the HW and SHB trials/extremes
also 10 rev for those? bruh
take a look and match yourself to those lists
the rev isn't the reason you do the roulette anyways
2000 mentor gets you a 2 seater
Mentor roulette is for the achievement rewards and helping others
And that's it
mentor roulette is for achievement
and for help, the tomes are merely a small incentive
and its on parity with stuff like trial roulette
new player here how do i get a wave wand shield and mirror

No
so i have caught up the msq to 5.5, i have done 0 side content that wasnt needed to progress the story. any ideas where i should start as far as side content/stuff i have unlocked?
!faq contentunlock
Just unlocked retainers what’s most optimal to have them do
one dom/dow, and one gatherer
assuming you plan on just having the two free retainers
if you plan on purchasing a third retainer or more, you can have more diversity (such as having a fisher, a miner, a botanist, and then any dom/dow one)
keep in mind that adding more retainers just increases your sub cost, so not everyone does it
does leviathan extreme get people at this point
you can put up a PF for it and unsynch the clears
Guys for the butterfinger promotion does it have to be a separate receipt of just BF or can it be in a receipt with other items ?
what is a pf and unsync
Party finder
Party finder, and unsync turns off syncing
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
So you enter with your current gear and level
glam is something you do more at endgame
unless you have some friends who will help you farm
The augmented ironworks gear is better than pretty anything else you can get in arr
One handed wands also stop being a thing once you hit havensward
It can be with other items
since blurum vale isn't an option for this moogle tome event, is the best farm probably hades ex?
I wonder if it's possible to solo nid ex with blu.
Hades will definitely be popular since the crafted weapons made the material very valuable
additionally, 8 days since submitting for butterfinger mount - worth giving up?
Basic instinct
Contact the customer support
you still need to unsync to get into it by yourself
You can undersized with level sync
whose?
Butterfingers I guess
!faq unsync

huh. i forgot that worked. still prolly slower than 8 blus
does that actually have precedent? i'm not wasting mine and their time
No one here really knows anything if you're having issues ask the guys running the campaign
That's all we can really suggest
what would be the most efficient duty for the moogle tomestones?
what would be the duty if u didnt have access to SB?
If you're on the hunt for current end game gear you can consider multiple runs of puppets bunker and copied factory
they are uncapped yeah
To stock up on coins, so that's efficiency from another angle
does anyone know if there are any sprites in bozja during snow time?
so im looking at this, but i don't get why ten chi jin is counted as a gcd? when its not? does it just mean its gonna clip?
You can't move while it's active.
yes
And the mudras are on gcd
but ten chi jin is not on gcd
every other oGCD is like tiny and on top of the GCD
but that one is big like the other GCDs so i assume theyre counting it as a GCD and i don't get why
did it use to be on gcd?
All the mudra casts during ten chi jin trigger the gcd
So it might as well be a gcd since you can't do anything else
The other gcds are also weaves
its telling you the order to do ten chi jin
Ten-Chi-Jin is not a weave
i don't understand what you mean by that
^
!faq weaving
i don't think we're on the same wavelength at all
i mean sure they could have put ten chi jin at the top like all the other ogcds
whats your point
for those eye attacks, do i just turn my character around or my character and my camera?
well thats the question
Character
character
i was wondering why they didn't do that
¯_(ツ)_/¯
cuz i thought maybe it used to be on gcd and it wasn't updated
Go ask the makers
take it up with the balance
okay so other question why is there a bunshin at the start
so your burst is under bunshin
from mug
Mug
oh
!action Mug
Delivers an attack with a potency of 150.
Additional Effect: Increases the chance of additional items being dropped by target if Mug is dealt before, or as, the finishing blow
Additional Effect: Increases Ninki Gauge by 40
40 ninia
40
no i know i was just doing it backwards
But still
because im not using a potion
the pot is only for progging savage
Do you get access to chocobo training with an apartment? Does it give a lot of exp compared to challenge log?
no
yes, you get access to stable with apartment
If I have an apartment and I move worlds, am I out of luck for furnishings that can't be put back into invent once placed?
Yes
Dang OK, thanks all
is this the place to ask account related questions?
sure
I had cancelled my account due to covid ruining my finances, back to work and would like to reinstate my account. is that possible? or would it be easier to just create a new one?
And can I use the same purchased game with just a different account?
You cannot reinstate an account that has been cancelled.
However if you actually only cancelled your sub, you can continue using the same account.
if you canceled your service account instead of your subscription then your account is gone

Wait so if I buy the MSQ Skip - Tales of Adventure: Heavensward: am I still like low lvl?
Yes
Yes
yes
It doesn't level you
Story skip only skips story
So how are you supposed to lvl up lol
By doing dungeons and stuff
!faq altlvlguide
Levelling is the easy part
Lol gotcha. Ok Ty for the quick answers
Does anyone know if the wooden deck float glitch still works in current patch? I for the life of me cannot get it to float and Ive watched numerous videos.😭
they fixed a lot of floating furniture tricks in 5.5
Of course they did. And i didnt know about it before patch where i could have had it set up and never move it again. Ugh 😭😭. Thank you!
Should I only use Mirage Dive outside of Life of Dragoon?
So is it just WAY faster to not do MSQ while lvling? Or for your first class should you do MSQ
Pretty much EVERYTHING in the game is locked behind msq anyways
mirage dive gets boosted by life of the dragon iirc
MSQ can lift one class. Two if you have Road to 70 buff that x2 exp
Dungeons, areas, actual jobs
Always use mirage dive when it's available. You still build eyes under life
It's free damage
K i wont story skip then. I'll do 2 classes at once
Doing story skip without level skip is really shooting yourself in the foot
Especially since your first class doesn’t get the armoury exp bonus, so it will level at half the rate from non-MSQ exp sources.
how do i start the dragoon quest?
!faq j9b
its under your msq tracker where all the other job quests are
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
Tldr story and finish your class quests
"To unlock this job you must posess level 15 in the Marauder class and have completed the Level 30 Lancer quest " " is this still accurate?
No
lol no
No longer need marauder
oh good i was gonna cry, i just finished my 30 class quest, guess i need to finish story then
thanks
:3
Needing 15 in another class is like, 2 expansions out of date
xD it was from 2013 thats why i asked
Ignore anything over a year old
umm how do I actually get to the diadem lol
Guy in the firmament will take you
Speak to Aurvael in the stall in front of you to the left when you enter Firmament
Left of the skybuilder board
thanks!
Is there only 1 tank buster in Diamond EX dog phase?
No
Happens like 3 times I think
If I invuln do I still get the debuff?
Iirc yes
I see
But it might also depend
Just invuln and swap
I guess a tank swap is mandatory then
As is that tank buster an AOE?
I mean it looks like one
do you need more material to make the PLD relics from Eureka compared to other relics or are they the same?
It's a circle aoe
Got it
Same
thanks
Just less for each part but cumulatively the same
@onyx kiln should be the same total
Since it works that way for tomestone gear and such
is it just me, or is there an actual tendency to get early arr trials in leveling roulette when it's super late at night server time?
yeah, that is what i am used to but didnt wanna assume
hey guys quick question, im level 27 and the quests and story is getting repetitive and boring but all i have heard is the end game is really good so i wondering how many hours would i have to put into the game for it to start getting good?
No idea, depends on Data Center
@native spindle subjective
ARR done (2.5) should be around 30 hours?
You're level 27 or you're at level 27 in the main story quest?
As those are 2 very different things
I'd say around 2.3 was when things really started to pick up from my pov, so i'd say another 30-40 hours to get to that point in the msq. yes this is long
im at level 20 main story
you're basically still at the start of the story, thats the main draw of this game and it does take a bit to ramp up since a bulk of ARR is worldbuilding
that said, if you're not enjoying the story you still gotta play through it unless you buy story skips
which are not exactly advised
i would much rather sit through early game then buy a skip
You are close to getting a full job though
Yeah, just do it slowly
we here at ff14 discord admit that the earlygame is slow, but the game shines the best with those initial stories and foundations
It's basically season 1 of a Netflix show
The game does improve pacing after 2.3
ARR is just... season 1 of a netflix show, all worldbuilding and- hey
this doesn't mean you won't be able to enjoy later expansions without them, it just means you can further enjoy it if the story intrigues you to any extent
It's slow, sets up stuff and people don't like it much but it sets stuff up and let's later story focus
Level 20 msq is also pretty early on and you're only just after your first trial
ok dope il try and stick throught it! oh one last question what makes the good content good? like is it the story or is it the boss mechanics or is it everything?
all of the above
short answer? yes
And the music
different people enjoy different bits
story, ambience, musical orchestration, the combat, the fight mechanics
the side stuff which are practically full games on their own
endgame raiding is great, story is 10/10 imo, music is top notch, devs are good, theres a lot of different things to do even at endgame
Evening all, what is the best resource for learning rotations for your class? Currently lv72 gnb and pretty much have got away with mashing my way along to some degree and need to get a handle on it
!faq gnbguide
Weskalber has levelling rotations
for your level 80stuff damn
Balance discord has 80 stuff
but weskalber for leveling for sure
i use Weskabler on youtube for 1-80 rotations for the basics
For new players we'd generally recommend weskalber videos
and the balance for the high end stuff
The balance for endgame Raiding optimization
i guess the guides are under extra maintenance
though by 70 you have your full rotation except for bloodfest windows
provided you're doing your job quests
But gunbreaker is basically just "Use things on Cooldown, fit ammo combo and your 60s stuff and danger zone under no mercy, spam 1 2 3 and don't overcap gauge\
just to link you to where the guides are kept
Okay awesome, I've done all my job quests to my knowledge so I'll take a peak
Thanks all ✌
the only sort of interesting thing is how you delay gnashing fang combo by 1 gcd every minute to fit it properly into no mercy and raidbuffs depending on your gcd
Do you have the fancy full ammo combo, cuz that's what you get/want from the job quests
I just read about that funny enough, I've been using the no mercy buff way earlier than I should be lol .. and yeah I've got continuation with the 6 step break, pretty nice!
So yeah you basically have your full kit now. Everything from 72-80 is extra enhancements to your main combos
What are ACT triggers?
They let Act say something when a ability is casted
Text to speech basically
Nice
If I’m just casually raiding with a static, it’s also somewhat viable to not use it right?
It doesn't matter really
Completely optional
Yeah, our raid lead is super good at calling out mechanics
I don't use it and I savage raid. I think one person uses something similar but /shrug
ACT is mostly used for early in tier prog or ultimates and such
basically hardcore players
I’m just thinking about talking with him, to move the pot window from 4m30 to 6m
act triggers are pretty optional
yeah dook can give you most of the answers you really need if you're struggling
Because I notice I pretty much have no burst as MCH at 4m30
ACT isn't actually available for super early tier prog so its not just for hardcore
act breaks on new patches
right forgot about that
Only tool id recommend is the orchestrion plug-in on the quicklanuncher as you can get sick of the same music for hours
Yeah, and I think most jobs function with a 6m pot right?
its fight specific
But yeah, I do use ACT a lot, just never played with triggers yet
Sometimes it's more efficient to hold pots and line up for a large group burst
can i equip same exact ring on both slots?
for 11s of this tier for example, you pot off cd because you can get an extra pot use out of the fight
Only if the ring isn't unique
If its not unique yes
https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/category/7/1 so at this point im thinking of picking this up. i mostly started playing because i really wanted to play blue mage and just found out that i cannot even start it until the main quest is done. i have the spare cash for the game but is there anything of value for slogging through the msq of arr?
same exact ring? no. duplicates yes
if its not unique
bruh
Arr is mostly setup/world building for the rest of the world and story so you'll be missing out on quite a bit
blu mage is also a limited job and exclusively side content
yes, you need to be lvl 50 and own stormblood to play blue mage, as well as beat the base game
admittedly i kinda have already did the lore dive four months before playing the game
in order to unlock all blue mage content you'd need to do the msq for all of those raids and trails
you don't need stormblood to play blue mage
i dont think i see the word "unique" on description anywhere on the ring. it's lvl50 (ilvl130) augmented ironworks ring of slaying
you're good then, get another one
Those aren't
alrighty
You'll be fine then but you'll still need to buy 2
It will say it next to Untradeable if it was unique
do you still need to play through those raids if you pay to skip msq?
i recall it did when i looked a few months ago
its a SB class
ah i see
it does not
Raids are technically side content so yeah
from the lodestone guide itself
it was released with stormblood patch but it does not require ownership of it
ugh
trial users can play blue mage if they want
Limited job introduced in stormblood is not the same as stormblood job
do i need to do all of the dungeons or just that one?
ugh they mist have changed that or something. i swear i read that it wasn't on free trail or somethin
What raids?
Im asking about to unlock the blue mage
all msq related ones yeah
does dying effect gear's durability for repair?
so all 120 ish 1-50 msq quests
Theres a store thing that says that itll skip the msq
that won't level you
when im using stone spell on conjurer theres a lot of times where i channel the full spell and during it someone else kills it and basically for that whole 2.5 seconds is wasted since im not targeting a unit. is there a way to get to the next one while channeling the spell?
you'll still be lvl 1
Free trial used to cap at like level 30 so you couldn't even finish arr
ive tried to tab over but it doesnt owrk
Im level 70
Move to cancel the cast
trial account level is capped at 60 right?
yes
ok
Cast target is locked once you start casting
eh, faulty memory i guess
so just to confirm, even though im level 70, if i buy this https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/category/7/1, ill still have to play through all of the dungeons?
What is this even for then?
@buoyant flame no, it autocompletes everything
You skip though the main story, which is a lot of click click
