Not too many! the accessories from e9s are only 4 books, and I think the belt is 5-6
It's All 4
Yeah I'm joining the 'Waiting on Whale' team.
Just afk around this mail moogle with like 4 other people lol
What is the flag icon means again?
PVP mentor
And a very rare creature
how do you even get pvp mentor?
Probably just do enough matches
I think its just... get regular one then flag it for pvp, right?
You become a regular battle mentor, then just change your search info to pvp.
no, its just be combat mentor
ah
I still have my petition in to change it away from a crown.
Either to a bag of poop, or a watering can.
Both thematically make more sense for mentoring a sprout.
ok is there a way to quicksell to vendor?
theres right click and sell
what's the best mogtome/time duty this time around?
pvp, hades EX, blu nidhogg ex
I should finally clear hades EX, thanks for the tip
p1 and p4 are pretty easy for DPS
I went on one of my siblings account,and log off after helping him on e12s ,can he upload the fflogs, or does it have to be me uploading it?
if you uploaded from ACT he can check fflogs on his own
but since account sharing is against TOS maybe not
but i did;nt, can it still be uploaded and i'm a bit new to parsing and stuff,and don't have ACT installed
i came from ps4
then no
So u need act to upload logs?
ic
one more question,can u check food buffs in logs?
not quite sure

Just looked it up to be sure @faint flare belts are 6 books of umbra I remember getting screwed by that earlier in 5.4 lol
is the lunar whale mount up for a limited time? or is it staying on mog?
ah okay, thank you!
Any reason to not extract materia when you reach 100% spiritbond?
I can't believe I've never done this
No, it's free materia
Level 63 and 12.5 days played and I've never extracted materia....
Usually cause you swap gear too fast for it to build
Is the materia type influenced by the type of gear it comes from?
No - i've had a ton of gear sitting at 100% for a while.
at what level should physick no longer be used
More or.less after getting lustrate
Prior to that it's "fine" to alternate adlo and physick if adlo shield isn't breaking before the next cast ends
!action lustrate
Fathard has 4 Gweiber trumpets
Where's the rest
Ohh
mor dhona, girl on the right
Cause the weapons take place on the source
i need like 70k exp to progress to next quest and i have done all sidequest at my lvl and dailie dungeon, what should i do
Ruby is tradeable right
Highest level dungeon run or just do some fates
Deep dungeons
I keep dying in this dungeon the healer is just spamming adlo and physick
Level?
Communicate
46
34
Eh kinda a rough patch
pull slow i guess
I am
i;m watching a streamer clear TEA,( planning to go into it next week), and was wondering how she has a bot to say out the boss skills.
Act triggers
sadge, looks like i need to install it then, looks useful
You set them up inside Act and it uses text to speech for it
which category do the relic quests show up for in the completed quest log?
I"m trying to see if I started it or where I"ve completed in the chain becaues the main NPC in Vesper Bay doesn't have it for me
is there name change where i can change both name and surname and how much does it cost if u know
yes, 10$ on the mogstation
its 10$ on mogstation yeah
under additional services
I think it depends on the relic
Especially since some quests are just the accept and done type
Think I found where I left off "A Relic Reborn" In North Shroud from Gerolt.
so relics are just weapon/shield then, right?
for old content yeah
for 5.55 it will be BiS for all classes for the resistance weapons
yes they are all weapons mb
Ok so there's only 1 relic right now, and that's in ARR. But we will get new relics in 5.55..?
Right on ok
so basicalyl goal would be to get relic and then stash it in my dresser for glamour
I suppose anyway
for those you have to get the replica version
relics can't be stored in glam dressers
for both name change ok thanks
Ugh. This game has so many confusing things... 😦
its an mmo
relics change over the course of the quest, with the last few steps letting you select your own substats
thats part of the reason why they can't go in dresser
ok so it's the same relic and then it's essentially upgraded then?
ye
replicas are the same model as the relic, just without any stats
i guess i need to google for relic replicas then
you can only buy the replicas once you've gotten to certain points in the relic stage
so replicas would allow me to glamour any of the 4 relics while still keeping the latest relic for stats
for ARR relic, you have to make a completed zeta
they are usually sold right next to the main quest giver
zeta?
the others are usually after you've finished the appropriate step
zeta being the final step of the arr relic
don't do the ARR relic until you have a ton of gil and a lvl 80
its a really long grind
crap ok
I'm only missing the 20th masked carnivale.. Is flying sardine and diamondback all I need to complete it?
Is the ARR relic a long grind because of teh materia requirement?
no
thats easy
its the book step
"hey go do some random fates that have no set timer, just wait and pray"
"oh and do levequests and dungeons on top of that"
there are 9 books that you must do one at a time
this is 1 out of like 7 steps for each weapon
which step?
im trying to buy fire shards from a vendor...should I give up and start mining or can this actually be done?
buy of off the marketboard
they are pretty cheap their
cant on a trial account
there's no vendor that sells fire shards
then time to grind them out
I just got the broken weapon from the coffer in Zahar'ak
the cok does in the cook guild place
cook

which weapon do you want? the first and 2nd step is pretty easy
Uhh, I dunno. I didn't realize I had an option.
how to get
Survival Halfslops
other than market and crafting
I just saw there was a quest starting with "The Weaponsmith of Legend" and I followed it and it told me to talk with this Gerolt dude.
i meant the PLD weapon you're aiming for
theres multiple ones
get lucky with palace of the dead sacks @leaden ginkgo
Hell, I dunno. This quest reward says Curtana (weapon) and Holy Shield
Where are my choices?
Do you still use Raw Intuition at all after unlocking Nascent Flash? For tank busters maybe?
look them up online
thank you
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Relic_Weapons/Quest#A_Relic_Reborn this is the page I'm at
Is there more than 1 quest chain or what?
ok so it always starts with this base Curtana and Holy Shield, right?
desperius on YT has a video for all the models and glows
Relic –> Zenith –> Atma –> Animus –> Novus –> Nexus–> Zodiac –> Zeta
@robust notch raw intuition is if you just need damage mitigation and not healing
these are all of the steps for the ARR relic
Ok great - but I just want to at least get the first one. From there I can unlock each remaining and keep the glamours via the replicas, correct? I'm honestly not trying to over complicate this.
Relic to nexus is a change in glow, but not model. zodiac is a different model from the others, with zeta adding a glow
no, zodiac requires you to finish the relic in its entirety to buy replicas
ok that's fine... so basically I can't glamour through dresser but can through the old school prism way with the base relic as long as it's in my inventory if I'm not allowed to stash in dresser?
which the final step of it is zeta
its not just ARR
Any reason why I'm not getting spiritbond on the gear I'm wearing?
relics cant be put in the dresser because of custom stats which the dresser isnt programmed to keep
you need to do on level content to gain more spiritbond
You need to be doing content closer to the items level requirements
Running sastasha in level 80 gear ain't gonna give you spiritbond
Ok thanks makes sense
i'm wasting my time doing bullshit I think haha i'm still level 63
but just trying to have fun along the way
part of why we strongly recommend holding off on doing relics until you're max level
its a lengthy process that is somewhat easier when you're max lvl
I can stop it for now and just keep it in my quest log
I guess I should just hold onto all the materia for now, eh?
not really
Nothing wrong with doing it kinda 'passively' in the background though
I'm going to get the first relic done so I can at least glamour something decent looking while I"m doing other stuff
Can you get pagentry from Nidhogg ex with BLUs in your party?
yes, if you undersize and level sync
will SHB be on sale during or after fanfest?
🤷♀️
if you have a friend at 80 ask them to help out for some of the trials
they've made no announcement on that front
howmuch do i need to fly?
all
all of it
No friends 😢 the ol' single player MMO experience! haha
me to
free companies are the way to go to find new people
the few i been in were all kinda ded
So I'm planning on getting the starter pack and the shadowbringers expansion. But I don't see anything about stormblood on the steam page. Is that another thing I have to get separately?
no, its part of shadowbringers
its included in shadowbringers
when u get the latest expansion u get all the other ones aswell
no just SB and ShB
Ooh! Okay, thank you! 😄
you need starter and ShB to get all expansions
fair enough
I think at some point or other I got told that Trusts are a good way to level- but at best I'm getting a level per 1.5~2 hours of grinding. Am I doing something wrong, or is Bozja/Roulettes just -that- significantly much better?
they are a good way to level if bozja is dead and roulettes are slow
real people are better
talking like 15 mins a queue
trusts are slower than just running dungeons regularly
So one level per 1.5~2 hours is the going rate and I'm not doing anything wrong? Just checking my expectations
Trusts are designed to be slower than running dungeons with others in queue. If you're in this position, do pixie tribe quests and then hunt marks while waiting for the queue and you'll exceed anything you could do in a trust.
well ive gotten 5 levels from several hours of bozja so 1 level per 1.5 hours sounds about right
Alright, thank you.

Is it possible to completeall 60-70 ninja quest on Very Easy in full shire?
probably
Pretty sure I did not long ago
the 70 duty was kinda tough iirc but i also didnt know the rotation at all, was freestyling hard lmao
but you should be fine if you can play the job
At 70 you can throw on Scaevan anyway if you're going to keep leveling past that
^
that's the holster cost
does the amaro mount have any equivalents from previous expansions?
nope
how should i prioritize getting items from the irregular tomestone exchange?
i'd say mounts from extremes first, like the doggos
then just whatever emotes and mount's you're missing
If you want the ring, I say go for it first
I'd recommend the ring and earrings if you ever want them as they're not likely to come back any time soon
gotcha
i mean im still gonna try and shoot for everything save the furniture (free trial)
Ring is brand new and the earrings are from old art contests iirc
ooh i see
The kamuys are from stormblood extremes so they'd probably be high enough priority too
At least if you're not planning on upgrading to full game + shadowbringers any time soon
I can confirm I've done this
nice
It took a LOT of dodging
But
It was. Hard
I did it with the samurai quest too
I don't recommend it but is it possible? Yes
Is it possible to have someone else meld materia for you?
I didn't realize it requires level 50 DoH to meld 😦
Yes, but there are also npcs in the cities that can do it for you, just not overmelding/pentamelding.
Do you get moogle tickets if you do dungeons/trials unsync?
No
Moogle tomes have never been obtainable as unsync
blue is the preferred method of cheesing
Unless this is your first moogle tome event then I understand
Uh
There's no aurum vale
In this round of moogle tomes
oh i meant relatively
Maybe
If you can can get full parties
Ive heard of people wanting to do blu runs of Ivalice but idk how fast that is
you can prob cheese nidhogg ex with 8 blus
I ran nidhogg EX half an hour ago with all BLU, pretty fast
Then I guess that's the way to go
Probably murderize nidhogg
But has to be synced obv
yeah that's fine, you still get all the SB spells
you mean burninate nidhogg? 
Does anyone know what coat it is that the woman is wearing in this screenshot? Also the emotes needed to get this pose as its really cute. I'd like to take similar pic like this with my S/O but I can't figure out what emote causes the Miqo'te to pose like this. I only saw eureka and furious as emotes that will cause the tail to go up so I think I might be missing an emote cause I am missing a few lol.
https://fanfest.finalfantasyxiv.com/2021/na/activity/fan-art-contest/ssa/4#497
left looks like /blowkiss to me
Which picture am I looking at
It doesn't cause the tail to go up though
The one by Ennrael
https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/fac2021/jbprIQZ13g/30079.png There's a direct link to the entry
I've never seen that top
Has anyone ordered the lunar whale and haven't recieved it yet?
mail is really behind it took a few hours for me to get the orch rolls just wait a bit
can I buy the wedding plan from the mogstation just to get the glams?
without having a wedding..?
nope
You would still need another person
You can technically not hold the ceremony ever but you need to get to the quest step for the clothes
Is that lunar whale going be permanent or just only during fanfest?
permanent to the shop, discount is only til the 10th of june
Thank god. It would be crazy if it’s only temporary. My FOMO is gonna be on drug
They did changed Castrum timer? We had a success run and it pops again under 30min
When was that?
and the more fates or CEs done makes it pop faster
5.5
Ah
It takes maybe 20-30 min now
But not many people does it anyway
im in castrum right now lmao
Hmmm last time I actively tried to farm it we only have like 23 people consistently and 4 out 5 we would fail
Every instance is different
I was leading with 17 people last run
Doesn't mean nobody ever joins
Maybe I should try again lol
Like we did it with 17 people + echo
What does a Magicked Prism do? It is one of the things you can purchase with irregular tomestones.
you cnat equip two unique rings of the same kind right? i.e. no two augmented crypt rings
@west parrot you use it and it makes like a firework above your head
oh lol
i thought i tried wearing two of the same ring once but it wouldnt let me
maybe i did something different?
It got changed somewhat recently
Hello! Trial sprout here, few hours into the game. I am a little confused about how do I get in contact with other people or groups.
I would love to do something with other players, but there are not many people around starting areas, I can't really whisper them, and it seems like I can't join any guilds. The quest / story content seems to be focused on solo play, and I mostly see player during rushed fate events.
Where can I find people to play with? Is there a certain story progress / level requirements before any group content is unlocked? Do I need to finish hall of novice first?
cool, guess ill make two aug crypt rings then
You can't they're unique
You unlock the first 4 person dungeon at like msq level 15
Hey! I live in Canada and I found Butterfingers in a store close to my place, but I saw that the website ask for a US address, is it not possible for canadians to get the mount ?
oh so you cant?
the changes to rings was for poetics/centurio/allied rings
current end-game rings are still unique
You can for old poetic rings
No the old tome ring are changed to not unique
so you can only have one augmented cryptlurker and one non augmented cryptlurker
oh yeah im talking about augmented crypt
The current ones are not given the same treatment

Its possible, but you would need someone to purchase on your behalf
Them uploading the receipt with their address would also be advisable
Eh, that's annoying
are all maps only once every 18h or only the high level / value ones?
The trial is very limited in social aspects yes. Do try and get yourself a novice network invite so you can have a semblance of world chat. Do the hall of the novice stuff since it gives good gear that you can use.
All maps.
darn
also, yeah, maybe do a /shout in limsa lower decks asking for an invite from a mentor
tons of mentors don't even bother joining the chat
plus there's only a limit of 100 anyway
is there at any point some kind of rage mode from our main character? In story of course
the only closest thing i can think of are the meters classes have or the party meter (Limit Break)
Thoughts on dancer for a beginner? Videos and posts ive seen say it is kind of a shitty dps that has some buffs and relies on RNG to do damage (weird mechanic) or you need like a good dps to be your dance partner for it to be worth it
its good
how do u start the next step of the resistance weapon after u get the glowey one done
So, they won't accept a canuck receipt, and if the website detects you're from a canadian IP it will pop up a thing requiring an american address.
What I did was I had an american with a sweet tooth send a picture of their receipt, and let me use their address. That worked fine, I got my mount.
which glowy one
beat CLL and DR, which are after you hit rank 10. follow the story in there
pain
Relics do be like that.
wait, what i mean writing rage mode is some point when our character gets super angry etc
in the dark knight questline yes
DRK's story touches on this a bit.
WAR does too
thanks ;D
but thats not msq
Anyone have 5.5 starter set for gunbreaker gear?
drk questline is basically "arent you tired of being nice all the time? dont you just wanna go APESHIT"
on what pieces you wanna aim for
510 crafted gear from MB
you can farm edenmete gear
Ah alright so any 510 or 520 works well on them ok
ye
substats only matter at like savage
Was told that spell speed on summoner was bad since their primary damage is fixed cooldowns
smn doesnt need sps
yeah, but any SPS you get doesn't matter until high end savage stuff
*doesn't matter unless you wanna top parse
What does .48 gain?
its for alignment
fits a little better into raid buff alignment
I've got a roundabout question regarding fanfest
Does my race stat really matter?
no
no
How long does it usualy take to get the registration code of an xpac purchase? I bought Shadowbringers but nothing has come in yet...
Can you change name?
with money
10$?
yes
I see
@short blaze check your junk/spam folder or if your purchase is still pending
So uh, last fanfest, they had a few store pages up where you could preorder certain physical merchandise and then you could pick it up in person.
This time around, fanfest is online, but I'm wondering if they're still selling physical merch exclusive for fanfest. Does anyone know?
the physical merch is on the SE store
Ah, there ARE still fanfest exclusive things
I thought they only had their usual catalogue
Thanks!
they might be permanent to the store
Yea that's what was bugging me lol
I wasnt sure if they were opening up a sales page for like
48 hours max
nope, just a normal listed item on the SE store
👍
shadows uncast
Hey - are the minions released today for the Fanfest celebration time-limited?
is there any place to buy coeurl yellow dye
Thanks! I'll just get the whale and rolls for now then
dyemonger in every main city by their vender area
its not there i checked
are they getting rid of belt next expansion or patch? lol
Are there any good compendiums for pretty loot? 
6.0, will be gone in 6.1
ff14 glamour has a decent way to find good glams
Eorzea collection is what you're thinking of iirc
u rite its the first thing that comes up if you search ff14 glamour
so, when can I get a listen to truely adaptive music?
you mean dynamic?
yes!
bozja at endgame has some
Trials generally have their own music for that primals theme
soken doesn't really use a lot of dynamic music
The math bot in Bozja, what does it calculate? Like when it asks for a prime number, does it add hp and the mark? Or..
Exactly the same as it did in ridorna
I have no idea what it did in Ridorana, I'm afraid.
The number it looks at is your HP
What’s the red and black symbol next to some trials and raids in seeing?
The circles add that number to your HP
Okay, so its addition. And then it has to match his question
So you set your HP to a value which is correct
moogle event
Alright, thanks.
And no, 1 isn't a prime number here
Ohh you mean the ones that sell stuff in every major city?
those yeah
Oh cute hopefully they selling the little wolf mounts
They're selling 3 of then
the first 3 sb extremes doggos
Lakshami, susanoo and shinyru
Along with other stuff, like eureka emotes
The list is quite large this time
how come the amaljaa vendor is telling me i need to join the brotherhood
i wanna buy dye from him
Oh nice!!
how do i do thgat
he only sells it if you do the beast tribe quests, rank 2 i believe
do they take a long time?
from rank 1 to rank 4 took me about 3 weeks
theyre in ulduh at the flame company place?
iirc yes
is it called peace for thanalan
the quest from flame commander
or is that somethin else
that is the one
Yes
is there any perks to lvling up MRD past 30 once acquiring WAR?
MRD is warrior
im on msq lvl 17 i think
!faq job
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.
ahhh i see ty
but i dont have WAR yet and im lvl 34 MRD
so wondering what happens if i dont do WAR quest and just keep lvling MRD
you'll be kicked from dungeons aboe level 35
And you'll be basically kicked from any party
You get marauder xp as warrior
As it has marauder as base
There's no "job" xp
so how do i get steel amaljok
what's the highest skill potency?
do i have to complete these quests?
yep
why can't i talk about using mods in game if they can't check whether im using them or not
i think nightbloom is vibin around 1500?
ohhhh, i see. thanks for that. Just got curious lol
because you can't harass others in game, thats why its banned
they would suspend accounts with no proof?
The proof is you told them lol
talking about it is proof enough.
"ah yeah I robbed a store but no one saw me so I'm fine lol"
theres some lost actions and skills in bozja that are higher than that if you combo them
so if i dont actually use it but say i do, they would suspend me?
guess ill go fishing until i get this whole account/buying shards figured out
i can accuse myself for a suspension?
It would definitely launch a investigation to see if there's any Irregularities
@faint flare yes thats what i was thinking but i read somewhere that they are not legally allowed to check or ask
they just really dont want players using ACT to harrass others
Because modifying the game or third party programms are against Tos
Like with pretty much most mmos games
they don't mind mods at all, hell they like dps checkers since its less work for them
it takes 1 of the amajljaa steel to get courel dye will that take a long time to get
but they have to take a stance against them to protect players from being mean
should i be worried if i am to stream my game with mods?
As long as you're not using them to cheat or get an advantage
You're generally fine
People use ACT and shaders and post molded screenshot everywhere
alright
Don't do illegal shit, don't be a dick and don't cheat
And don't bring attention to yourself
Fight club rules
suppose im not cheating, not being a dick or anything
would i seriously get banned over saying that im using mods in game regardless of the statement being true or not since they can't check?
yes, if you're reported for it
again, if you talk about it using in game channels they will probably take action, but otherwise no
Maybe have a invisible gm watching you
i just completed these 3 quests @modest igloo do u know what i do now?
like if you said "SAM you fuckin idiot why are you at 6.7k dps wtf" then that would be a ban
wait until tomorrow!
its a daily
If they feel like they have sufficient evidence they'll take action
so there are these enemy aoes I see sometimes in trials that have this weird pillar in the middle and I never really knew what to do there, is that like a mini stack marker except you just need to stand in them?
@faint flare thanks, thats exactly what i was thinking
how many of these quests to get 1 steel?
Tower aoes need at least 1 person in them or they blow up
Again it's the point of bringing attention to yourself
Also remember that if a DM ask you, don’t say you are using mods
Cause modifications are against tos
the first rank doesnt give any, i think the second set of 3 at rank 2 will give you one a piece
If you say you are, the DM have to ban you even if they don’t really want or care
hm ok
whats DM? like gm?
5 ish days
ok thanks
Yes
yep
oh cool how do i get these tomestones
Duties with the symbol
or free trial player can not participate?
they can
is there a specific place that has these duties
?
like u said duties that have that marking on them
they are on the duty finder
ohhh my bad i keep mixing up duties with quests
Is this a lore question channel as well?
You can but spoiler tag if you're far
bruhh only the praetorium and castrum meridianium gives it LOL
Guess I just ask in #archived-lore-spoilers thanks!
It's primarily the raid content
All 24mans and the first tier of each 8man (except coils)
raid content thats in like shadowbringers
No
no, in all expansions
even in ARR there is 24 man raids?
how do i do it
An oddly garbed man visiting Revenant's Toll has some information which might be of interest to an experienced adventurer.

Where are we going to be able to watch the fanfest?
Twitch and YouTube
thanks
The "Game Better with Butterfinger®" thing isn't available in Canada, really...?
nope
Wow, that's pretty lame 😐
it'll come
Are FATEs on higher floors of bozja also better?
Long as better 🙂
I'm leveling a Paladin right now and I'm just about to start Heavensward content. Should I focus on getting through the MSQ to the final expansion or should is there side content worth doing while leveling to max?
Story
MSQ is always the focus
Level isn't important
are usually worth doing because they unlock additional content.
thats how you level
It means nothing
When is digital fan fest
!event
That long
Where will it be streamed
Twitch, Youtube, and NicoNico
Wtf is Nico nico
JP streaming
Basically Japanese Youtube
Do they give anything away during that event?
@faint flare is that quest u sent for me? for the 24 man raid
yes
ok thanks
When you hit max level, does the game offer a tutorial on how to use your skills? Skills at base game make the class feel completely different then skills from the expansions.
You literally can’t access HW without doing the ARR 24man
Also unlocks a new roulette
@faint flare was that answer for me or griz
No cause that's what levelling is meant to teach yoy
The mogstation one
Yes
nope, most people use Weskabler on YT for 1-80 guides
You get new skills slowly as yoy level
And they're added onto your rotation
Only black mage really changes drastically as it levels
How we know that though?
Right, but they only give you 1 or 2 fights to use them. I'ts obvious then, but it's not so obvious when I need to use damage mitigation in dungeons, especially when it's your first time.
when I'm crafting at low levels, do I have to I have to click synthesize every time?
Weird Castrum hasn't pop for 70mins now.
Is there a list of new mogstation items?
it was in JP first
then in US
it will come around in time
just go to mog station and click new items @fading aurora
You use mitigation on trash pulls
say I'm doing weaver, and I'm processing hempen yarn, can I do my whole stack of grass at once?
Dung bosses are pathetic
@potent shoal once you do the craft once you can use quick synthesis but you still can only craft 1 at a time
@remote lintel didn't notice that section before
I understand that as a concept, but aren't trash pulls different for each dungeon? Which means I need to learn what's trash and what's not first.
trash is whats not the boss
not in ff14
how do I do it quick?
Everything outside a boss room is trash
Quick synthesis is for bulk crafting that you don’t care if it’s HQ or not
@potent shoal literally a button at the bottom that says quick synthesis
99% of all trash pulls in ff14 is literally just "dodge their one telegraphed mechanic"
have to be like lvl 10 or something to unlock it
oh, okay. Sounds simple enough. Hopefully people are patient enough.
It’s also bad experience, so not recommended for actual leveling
there's one trash pack I can think of where some of the mobs tether to random party members
When leveling, should I try and figure out Materia or should just wait till max level?
but that's it
max lvl
Materia is endgame
materia doesnt matter until max level
materia beforehand is pretty useless
It literally does nothing while levelling
Just unlocked the bozja Castrum, is there anything I need to do to prepare? Lost Actions and whatnot?
thanks
also the game gives you your skills slowly so max level only adds like 1 skill
if any
Or can I join naively
@jolly sorrel doesnt matter
When you hit max level, what tools are available to help level other classes? DPS has a 14 minute dungeon wait /cry
Use A essence and dodge obvious bad
what you see in actions and traits is what you get
!faq altlvlguide
@covert swan a buff
Just use an essence and dps actions
And you're automatically better than 99% Of people in bojza
Ahahaha
Thanks! This is great. I love healers and tanks, but I'd prefer to get at least 1 magic range and one melee DPS to max at some point.
Seems solid.
Also, the other day I got linked where memories from overworld FATEs drop, could someone link me that image once more?
good for you, later one theres a questline that requires all 4 to fully complete

- make sure you unlock all the dungeons! helps to speed up queue time.
- you have an armory buff that gives you 50-100% bonus XP on jobs that aren't your highest level: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Experience#Armoury_Bonus
- there are many items you can unlock throughout the game that, when equipped, give you a %XP buff, usually within a certain level range.
From a return on investment standpoint, is there a reason to max retainer levels? I find it's taking a good chunk of gil to gear them up every ilevel change as they progress, and I'm not sure I understand the benefit on the back end.
better retainer stats means they can bring back better stuff
well i completed that quest?
you can use scrips and poetics to gear them out
do i have to do sanding it down as well
better retainer stats are only achievable by maxing them
it didnt unlock a 24 raid for me
it shouldn't cost you any gil to gear retainers
all of them in that questline
ahhhh
all 3 24 man raids
all i got for completing the efirst one was like dark grade matter
i didnt get any duty
What’s the max ilv I need for a combat retainer?
you can gear retainers sufficiently entirely with your own leftover gear in addition to poetics and scrips
Around 500?
!faq retainerbp
Cool that’s lower than I thought lol
they haven't updated it in a long time
Just gear retainers in hand me down gear
Probably won’t until 6.0 either
poetics are only applicable at 50, 60, 70 i thought? I've had to buy a new set every few levels and am only 37 haha. and what are scripts?
Also a lv 78 Miner Retainer probably can’t bring back a lot of good stuff right?
I really need to lv my miner to 80...
Thanks! There's just so much to track that it's a bit overwhelming. I'll have to use that collection website or w/e
what's requiring you to gear a retainer every few levels
you can just spam quick explo to level
@civic flare idk what youre doing but there are no poetic gear sets below 50
he said 50/60/70
but every tiem i get to a new explo tier, it has a new ilevel requirement
oh for retainers
like i just hit level 35 expo and ilevel mix went up to 25 i think
quick explo, not hunt explo
Yeah I think spamming quick exploration also works
the 1 hour 1
use quick exploration for low levels
they changed it a few patches ago to make leveling easier
you can use poetics and job gear
yeah you can just use your old gear from roulettes and stuff
like when you do expert just need on caster gear
yeah....thats all given away for seals because i'm an inventory stickler
boom easier high ilvl stuff for lvl 80
so 1 hour explos dont have ilevel requirement?
correct
wow thanks
honestly, i wouldnt worry too much about it. just run around and have a good time, you'll have your jobs caught up before you know it if you're having fun and not trying to grind it out c:
that solves my problem
it's what i lurk for
ive just been doing 18 hours ones and buying a new gear set every 3 days or so for both retainers lol
For a lv 78 miner retainer can I spam quick expo for exp?
ye
Noice
i haven't really played in a month or two, is the last quest for the resistance weapons out yet? o:
not yet
But soon(tm)
We will probably get the release date of 5.55 during Fanfest right?
The very least Preorder date
Maybe a narrower release window
Since we're still pretty far away
I mean it will be kinda weird to get the release date of 6.0, but 5.55 is ツ
Yes
hows Memoria Misera extreme compare to every other extreme? lol
heavily powercrept
Make sense, since weeklies are also on Tuesday
So people don't/can't abuse weekly resets
mechanics wise, MM EX has a few tough ones but the difficulty is largely removed since we're like 50 item levels above what it was designed for
If you grab a static and do it blind can it be done like in an hour or two?
Yeah
Cool
It wasn't hard on release
a decent group can clear shortly after phase 2 starts
It was just Fortious was ass
I see
But you can probably /definitely skip that now
doing it blind with no guide might be rough
There isn’t ilv sync for all Extreme and Savage content at lv 80 right?
No
I helped a fresh prog group a few weeks ago and they crawled their way to a clear on the 2nd pull
why did i start with 45 days in my account when i bought ffxiv, when the steam page says only 30?
Best way to farm tomes as a <70 toon?
I see, I might just watch a guide and PF it
Preferred server 15 day bonus
pvp
90% of the fight is pretty much just stack immediate south of the boss and face north, then dodge all the shit
thank you
And yeah... since it’s an extreme 50 ilv down... I guess you can Rez the whole way though and still not reach enrage
there's a clock position mechanic and a group 1/2 mechanic
I see
but they're so crept now that you can fuck it up and still live
lol
a really good group can probably clear before phase 2 I bet
how does recruitment work
For what
the recruit a friend thing
if i do my 5 squad missions before hitting level 50, will i have to repeat them to unlock the last flagged mission to get max gc rank?
Yeah, I guess Ex are just a lot simpler than Savage in general.
For Diamond, you can almost always survive a Diamond boom boom with 5 people on a side
i want to buy more play time but it says i should enter a code for rewards
im at 48 and dont want to do 10 of them lol
You give them the code and they put it in before they buy their first month sub
Or you get a code and put it in for stuff
if i get someones code right now what do i get
im afraid i wont be able to find people to seriously raid for the later raids at least, can i do the earlier ones with randoms cause its easier or does the power scale to each update
diamond's the newest EX and largely not a good indicator since its mechanics are very easy even compared to the other EX, but the damage is scaled up to our current item level
You can do it with randoms in party finder
coils are really hard to do normally
For high end raids
the other raids have a normal mode that can be done in the DF
the hardest EX fights this expansion would probably have to be hades EX on release or SoS EX on release
@faint flare if i entered your code for example before i subbed again what kind of reward would i get? it only shows what others would get
I think the biggest difference I noticed for ex and savage, is that EX fights usually becomes easier with dead people. Where savage becomes much harder with dead people.
Like, a clock spot spread will just shoot less beams on EX, where on Savage it will still shoot all 8 beams, and some people will get 2 beams...
Sos is still pretty nasty
Scroll to rewards for friends
@faint flareim looking at that right now but it only shows rewards for the recruitee not the person whos being recruited
Yeah, SOSEX is my first Ex I done after coming back for Shadowbringers.
It really felt like “insurmountable odds” when I first started.
It was a really fun experience though.
what is digital fanfest...
"rewards for friends
E3 for ff14
Event for expansion info
I personally would say SoS EX is harder than e5s, but more forgiving
if i do my 5 squad missions before hitting level 50, will i have to repeat them to unlock the last flagged mission to get max gc rank?
A fan festival being held digitally because <CURRENT YEAR>
is it only if yoy have shadowbringers
No
It's being streamed
The devd are giving us information about the coming expansion
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Wouldn't recommend if you haven't beaten shadowbringers as its teasing the new expansion and by extension BIG SPOILERS
Like new jobs and trailer and all
probably yes, mine didn't get done until they were like lvl 59
Yeah, I think SOSEX is basically an easy savage fight.
I have to say, the feeling of “insurmountable odds” SOSEX gave me was significantly more intense even compared to e8s. Probably because I was much better at this game when doing 8s.
But yeah, I think SOSEX don’t really have that much repetitive mechanics. And since phase 2’s order is random, it makes it feel much more harder.

woah there i wouldn't compare sos ex to e8s
The other name is a spoiler.
e8s was a significant step up from the rest of that tier
Also this is probably too discussion-y for this channel
Like, even e8s is just, learn a mechanic, do it, learn the next one, do it next.
But for SOSEX it feels like I need to learn 4 mechanic at once.
I see, sorry about that
I’m about to make a PF in hopes of people joining to help me collect all 60 memories for my resistance weapon since there really no one doing that at the moment no matter where I go, what category should I put it under?
fates
right now its pvp, hades EX , and blue mage nidhogg EX
i have another question
ive recently finished the first part of the msq in arr, and am at level 55 but since ive gotten to level 50 ive mostlyjust been going around to unlock all the dungeons i can
is there something else i should be doing instead? where should i go from here?
MSQ
i kind of wanted to build on my character and practice my skills before i continue
keep doing that until you reach lvl 80
Can you send a friend recruitment code to someone if you've been recruited yourself in the past? I can't seem to find my link anywhere
That's what the stort is meant to do
you'll do that by doing lvl 50 dungeons
is there a macro to quick swap house lighting?
@leaden ginkgo most classes change play style at 70+ from what people have been saying
PLD changes massivly from lvl 50 to 70
You just need to have active days (either paid or the free 30 days) and have the starter edition registered
@modest igloo @faint flare ohh okay! so should i just do the quests to unlock other dungeons just as i go and not focus too much on them?
Are people getting excited for the digital event later? Is that a big thing for the expansion?
They're old side content
Yes cause it's info on the expansions
yep, since you get more doing MSQ
@gleaming finchnew class and stuff are supposed to be shown so yes
Check and check, where am I supposed to see my referral code?
ohhh i see hahah
ive been doing too many then lol
its okay, i needed a break from msq
msq is casual content so dont worry too much if you mess up
i think most only do old dungs for glamour
Your Account page iirc, scroll down to recruit a friend banner, which is a link
Oh for some reason I kept looking over that banner
you'll also notice that you're missing skills at 55 bc you can't get into ishgard yet. that's intentional
I DID notice that loool
yep, since you can't do dungeons that are higher than 50 until you beat the post ARR patches
also, do take a look at the crystal tower alliance raids, they are required for MSQ
what else are achievment tokens used for if u buy all the stuff
nothing
when is echo coming for this savage tier?
6.0?
5.58, still a while away
anyone else not getting the whale mount in their mailbox after 3 hours?
From what I understand the achievement shop gets new things when more GC ranks are added, so until that occurs...
@fathom finch might be delayed because there are so many peopl;e buying it
site might have problems
what is that?
24-man raids
@boreal storm i want more mounts
woah....
@leaden ginkgothey are very fun
Is it possible to get a skip item that takes me just past ARR to where I can play the Ishgard locked jobs?
you're gonna like them
yes, but we recommend against it
oh i actually have started that quest!!
MSQ skip i guess, but that's not really reccomended
since an msq skip would not give you any experience
or just boost the job you want but thats also not recommended
so you'd lose the time gained by having to level
also the story, one of heavenswards biggest selling points, would not make as much sense
@remote lintel ive seen this happen in every game , where people buy a boost they are lost , dont know the skills get bored and leave the game forever
how do world restrictions work again? got a guy who wants to play on my world but its shut and im not sure if i should tell them to make a char on a different world or wait
its a stupid mistake to make
!faq serverlock
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.
@rotund sableis he getting error that server is full?
I'm in a bit of a weird spot is all. I watched a friend stream an MSQ playthrough till when he got to dark knight, now i'm slogging through it myself. I'll keep going.
yeah its just closed for character creation rn, im not sure how often they change it
msq is 800+ quests i think lol
keep working through it man, its worth it
@rotund sable what i did when i started was i spammed the create button till it let me in, the xp boosted servers have a que of like 20 people normally to get in and if u keep spamming it u will eventually be let in
its faster than waiting
in my opinion
oh you can just spam the button? neat
alright i'll let them know, cheers
😄
you can still use glamour on a free trial right
How important is crafting/gathering? I was doing a bit of it and then started ignoring it to mainline the msq
Yes
Completely optional. It's basically another game
Oh good
how do u get the shark mount do u need to do fishing?
little bit more of a pain in the ass to get glamour prisms though
since you can't buy from marketboard
10K points on a ocean fishing trip
I get all mine from grand company seals
I don't recall if there's NPCs that sell prisms otherwise
@boreal storm is it hard to get 10k
