Pvp is not a major focus

#

A tertiary focus

astral cobalt
#

not sure if this is the place for that, but that "lahee" song performed by soken during the last fest is a real ffxiv song or just something for this event ?

faint flare
#

Real

#

It's rak'tias day theme

leaden ginkgo
#

Asking for a friend, she did the initial chocobo quest but her mount is grayed out

strange coral
#

It's the background song for one of the shadowbringers zones

night oxide
astral cobalt
#

thanks guys I'll search it, didn't reach SB yet

faint flare
leaden ginkgo
#

She’s in an open world

faint flare
#

Did she use the whistle

leaden ginkgo
#

She did

faint flare
#

Not in combat/occupied?

leaden ginkgo
#

No

night oxide
#

also when do the d ungeons like increase in difficulty? im enjoying the gamebut the dungeons are quite lackluster. im around the believe in your sylph main quest

faint flare
faint flare
#

/ Try summoning from There

night oxide
#

so is combat just boring before endgame raids?

faint flare
#

You get more skills so it's not boring

#

You have 3 buttons atm

leaden ginkgo
#

which book let’s me make crafted byakko for lancer

faint flare
#

The mechanics slowly get more interesting but at the end of the day dungeons are "don't stand in bad stupid"

night oxide
#

okie dokie, thanks for the info, ill just play the hell out of this free trial

tulip skiff
#

When you reach rank 15 in frontline can you still lose points after that?

#

Once u max?

faint flare
#

You can lose mettle yes

#

Not that it matters at all

#

Until 25th

tulip skiff
#

25th?

#

What does that mean?

strange coral
#

May 25th, when 5.55 comes out

#

The max rank will be 25

tulip skiff
#

Ugh😩

faint flare
#

Not that mettle is hard to farm

tulip skiff
#

it took forever to get to 15

strange coral
#

The new zone will probably give more mettle

faint flare
#

And duels give alot of mettle if you're actually prepared for it

oblique topaz
#

Why do i see chairs next to peoples names? i know the sprout means new but i cant tell what a chair is supposed to mean

faint flare
#

Afk

oblique topaz
#

Ohhhhhh ok

#

i thought it was like they are willing to sit down and explain things or sumn im fucking dead

leaden ginkgo
#

@faint flare

faint flare
#

If she can't open the mount guide she hasn't used the whistle

strange coral
#

That looks like Gridania

#

Which you can't mount in

faint flare
#

Still able to open the mount guide

#

In cities

#

Which, they can't cause no mounts are registered

short jasper
faint flare
#

Thus they haven't used the whistle

open ember
#

You have to go to inventory and click on the whistle. If it doesn't say "you can now summon the chocobo mount"

#

Then it isn't available

leaden ginkgo
#

Letting her know now

#

hi guys i have the level 6 crafter tomes but i don’t see the crafted weapons

short jasper
#

It's called a Flame/Serpent/Storm Chocobo Issuance, and it's a scroll, not a whistle.

leaden ginkgo
#

am i tripping ?

faint flare
#

The issuance is the turn in item for the quest

short jasper
#

Oh right, it is a whistle. Looks like a birb

#

Derp

twilit arch
strange coral
twilit arch
#

don't need the soul to see them

leaden ginkgo
twilit arch
#

and which crafter are you looking under?

leaden ginkgo
#

for the drg i’m under carpenter

twilit arch
#

are you absolutely certain you have 6?

short jasper
#

Do a search in the crafting log for 'Shinryu'

leaden ginkgo
#

6 is blue right

short jasper
#

If it doesn't show up there, check to see if you've used the book in your inventory

#

If the book is not in your inventory, try repurchasing the book, it won't let you if you already have it or used it.

short jasper
leaden ginkgo
#

Ok she forgot to use the whistle. All is good. TY

open ember
#

Shinryu and Byakko weapons are under lv70 receipes in master receipes

leaden ginkgo
#

would it be under master recipes (6) ?

twilit arch
#

Yes

thick sapphire
#

Can I run Syrcus Tower Unsync'd?

faint flare
#

Yes, need 1 person minimum for each alliance

open ember
#

You usually do in PF

#

For unsync alliance raids

thick sapphire
#

so how many people do I need in my party to succeed if I use PF?

open ember
#

1 in Alliance A
1 in Alliance B
1 in Alliance C

faint flare
#

With 80s i5 should be easily do with 3, cause there's no mechanic that needs multiple people

thick sapphire
#

Thanks - is there a bonus for this for first time so I can entice some 80s?

short jasper
#

If you're not one of the three 80s, you're honestly better off not doing so.

thick sapphire
#

so just use duty finder then I guess?

twilit arch
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Can u all help me. I cant find the options to have skills annoyingly pop up their skill name when i press them

twilit arch
#

there's no reason to use pf for ST

faint flare
#

24mans are casual content

thick sapphire
#

ok thanks 🙂

short jasper
#

While you're free to do whatever you like, and I can't and won't stop you, there is a bit of a dislike in the community for players who use unsynched to get carried through content they can easily do themselves synched.

little swift
ripe hound
#

But yeah Syrus Tower is really easy content, just queue is fine

scarlet arrow
#

#

the Crystal Tower raids haven't really been difficult since 2.0

fringe bone

crystal bluff

Hi, new player just got the free trial, after like 2h of gameplay i saw i was in the wrong intended World, is there any way I can migrate a character from one world to another, whithin the same data center?
I tried looking up on the official site, but i only found world transfer from one data center to another
For additional context, im in Couerl and would like to move my character to Brynhildr

crystal bluff
#

Without paying? Nope

#

But if its only 2 hours of gameplay I'd just make a new character

strange coral
#

Home world transfers works for any world. It can be in the same datacenter if you want, but it's not free.

#

But yea, for only 2 hours I would also recommend just making a new character

halcyon geode
#

And for players that have a subscription?

#

just to know for the feature

crystal bluff
#

Same thing

strange coral
#

They still have to pay

halcyon geode
#

Beans

#

oh well

#

thanks for the help

strange coral
#

There is free world visit, but has some limitations

halcyon geode
#

guess ill just remake the char

obsidian knot
#

im on the free trial and just hit 300k at lvl 50... any recommendations on how to best utilize the money?

scarlet arrow
#

tbh there's really not a whole lot you need to spend gil on

leaden ginkgo
#

Someone looked at me but wasn't targeting me, how do I do that? Is it an emote?

terse kindle
#

whats the connection between nier raids and the nier game?

faint flare
#

Loose

strange coral
obsidian knot
leaden ginkgo
#

Any black mages around?

faint flare
#

Several

strange coral
scarlet arrow
leaden ginkgo
#

So I'm new to the realm and just wondering about skills ill use regularly. Once I obtain fire III, does that replace fire I?

obsidian knot
#

i see, so ill just ignore that im capped on gil then i guess

crystal bluff
#

No

obsidian patio
#

Fire 3’s main purpose is to swap from ice to fire

crystal bluff
#

Fire 3 gets used when it procs off fire 1, and to switch to fire mode from ice mode

fringe bone
#

how do i get black mage?

crystal bluff
#

Level up thaumaturge

fringe bone
#

where do u become a thaumaturge

crystal bluff
#

Uldah

fringe bone
#

any requirments?

crystal bluff
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

so fire 3 will swap from ice to fire?

fringe bone
#

ty

leaden ginkgo
#

guess ill have to play around with it

crystal bluff
#

Yes
And vice versa

scarlet arrow
#

other than the ability to change jobs in the first palce, no

leaden ginkgo
#

trying to manage my quickbar lol

crystal bluff
#

Don't get too used to your hotbar setup

leaden ginkgo
#

is thunder 1 used once thunder 2 is aquired?

scarlet arrow
#

yes

faint flare
#

Thunder 2 is aoe

crystal bluff
#

Blm changes pretty significantly every 10 levels or so

faint flare
#

Thunder 1 is single target

#

They're different spells

scarlet arrow
#

black mage numbered skills aren't upgrades

#

so fire 1, fire 2, fire 3 and fire 4 are all different spells with different uses

unkempt oasis
#

what best way to farm bitter memories?

leaden ginkgo
#

aaahh what about scathe.. does anyone really use scathe?

faint flare
#

No

#

It's the lowest of the lowest low priority

halcyon geode
#

Alright sorry for the question, is there any like way to know when a world is gona start accepting new characters? Trying to get to brynhildr to play with friends but it says its full and not accepting new chars atm

hasty musk
#

check the server status

crystal bluff
#

Wait until off peak hours

faint flare
#

Late at night/early morning

crystal bluff
#

Usually late at night

faint flare
#

Off peak hours

scarlet arrow
#

acceptance of new characters is based on current server population, which is why people are suggesting off-peak hours

leaden ginkgo
#

ok ok and i just started blackmage quests.. yet im 35 and the 35 quest wont start for me?

unkempt oasis
#

what best way to farm bitter memories?

modest igloo
#

did you remember to re-equip your jobstone

modest igloo
leaden ginkgo
#

@modest igloo How can i do that

strange coral
#

Open your equipment window, check the bottom-right slot, under rings and such

leaden ginkgo
#

Nevermind

vestal escarp
leaden ginkgo
#

figured it out

modest igloo
#

does it work for ya now?

leaden ginkgo
#

aye thank you

modest igloo
#

nice

#

remember to save you gear with the jobstone on

fringe bone
#

any requirement to get a class journey? for example do you have the finish heavensward etc.

leaden ginkgo
#

@modest iglooWhy's that?

waxen karma
#

Do skybuilder/ishgardian restoration turn-ins count towards number of collectables crafted?

modest igloo
heavy wadi
modest igloo
leaden ginkgo
#

As this is me first character, is that necessary at the moment, or is that ususally saved once multiple jobs come into play?

#

my*}

fringe bone
scarlet arrow
#

if you have a gear set for THM you want to save over it as BLM

twilit arch
#

the job skips don't require you to meet any requirement beyond owning the correct expansion

fringe bone
#

Alrighty

#

ty

modest igloo
leaden ginkgo
#

@modest igloo Awesome, thank you!

modest igloo
#

i have my most played jobs on the side that i switch to at any time. 1 press and done

leaden ginkgo
#

what order did the ultimates come out

faint flare
#

Bahamut, Ultima and Alexander

#

In that ordee

fading aurora
#

is there anything u can farm like boar leather that can bring in lots of gil?

modest igloo
#

look on the MB

leaden ginkgo
#

@modest igloo Oh gnarly. Is that a hotbar settup?

faint flare
#

Yes

modest igloo
#

its my 5th hotbar thats shared so all classes have it

fading aurora
#

@modest iglooim not good at looking for how stuff sells or what is profitable

faint flare
#

You kinda did

modest igloo
#

look for what sells at a decent amount of gil and farm it

fading aurora
#

i did not i found the boar leather thing on yt and thats from like 9 months ago

modest igloo
#

i do maps once a day and its enough for me to get by

fading aurora
#

prices have dropped 70

#

%

remote lintel
#

if its farmable chances are it wont bring in lots of gil

faint flare
#

Surprise. Markets change and old guides aren't useful

modest igloo
#

market research is important if you wanna make gil

faint flare
#

Who would have guessed

#

You need to see what you can farm then compare it's current prices

leaden ginkgo
#

Man all I need now is to start looking cool

faint flare
#

There's no be all answee

strange coral
#

Even recent guides don't always apply to your server's economy.

fading aurora
#

vin please dont answer my questions if you're gonna be sarcastic and disrespectful for no reason

#

thanx

agile laurel
#

they're not

modest igloo
#

he's not

agile laurel
#

it's basic common sense that if there's a yt video saying 'omg easy gil from farming this 1mil gil an hour' shite, then even if it ever was worth anything it isn't going to be now

fading aurora
#

im talking before he typed what he just typed

faint flare
#

It's called basic common sense

fading aurora
#

this fucking game has server hops how tf am i supposed to know what each market goes up or down in prices

faint flare
#

By looking

remote lintel
#

by looking at your mb

#

you can only sell on your own mb

agile laurel
#

what on earth do you think anyone else does?

faint flare
#

We all do it

modest igloo
#

i mean i dont but i dont make a lot of gil

faint flare
#

We all check the market board when we're selling stuff for prices

neat hearth
#

when does the story of the main campaign end?

fading aurora
#

not everyone has been playing for years to know right away how to look for whats selling on the mb and whats not

modest igloo
neat hearth
#

msq?

arctic steeple
#

how do people get this look?

remote lintel
#

the answer to "how do i get lots of gil" is: finding a niche item, crafting, learning patch cycles, or if you have no doh/dol then do the rng methods like treasure maps and pray

modest igloo
crystal bluff
#

Its a drop from the first nier raid @arctic steeple

faint flare
twilit arch
fading aurora
#

im gonna end this convo peace out

neat hearth
#

awwww i see

arctic steeple
#

is it still possible to get such looks?

crystal bluff
#

Yes

wintry chasm
#

It's permanent content

arctic steeple
#

ooh ok

agile laurel
#

quite easily because they're A. unique-owned and B. not sellable

arctic steeple
#

thanks for the quick reponse

agile laurel
#

so people generally only need 1 ever

faint flare
#

And 2 drop per party

agile laurel
#

3, ain't it?

faint flare
#

They changed it

agile laurel
#

ah. ok

faint flare
#

It's in each of the parties chest

hot eagle
#

2 for each party now

faint flare
#

Instead of the shared end one

crystal bluff
#

Didn't they also make the rare minion a guaranteed drop for the first 2

strange coral
#

Yes

crystal bluff
#

I need to go back and do PB then
Need that 2B

faint flare
#

Yeah, the black pod and 2b are guaranteed

leaden ginkgo
#

man i need an nvidia card so bad.. this pixel flicker is horrible with amd

blazing peak
#

Hello there can I know if there anyone from USA loves Butterfingers products and want me to send for him 2 backgs of butter bars?!

blazing peak
#

For free of course

twilit arch
#

not the channel to be asking for that

blazing peak
#

Which one then please

tulip skiff
#

I bought a level boost for warrior but I don’t see it in delivery moogle

#

How long I have to wait for it?

agile laurel
#

it varies

neat hearth
#

...

agile laurel
#

moogle mail system may still be somewhat overloaded due to endwalker preorders

tulip skiff

slate lava
#

Thinking about re-rolling to PS5 from PC. How do I link my Mog account to my PS5 account ?

faint flare
#

Buy the game on console and log in with your account

jolly sorrel
#

Just unlocked Phoenix-Egi, not entirely sure what it.. does?

faint flare
#

Its bahamut for Phoenix Trance

#

Works the same...with one extra stupid part added

jolly sorrel
#

Enkindle Bahamut doesn't seem to work though, makes sense considering its not Bahamut

slate lava
#

Oh, it's that easy, nice! Thanks Vinyl Tails !

faint flare
#

It turns into Revelation/Enkindle Phoenix

#

When phoenix is out

undone matrix
#

What should i bring to delubrum reginae?

jolly sorrel
#

Oh, I see Ruin III combos into Outburst while in Phoenix Trance.

faint flare
#

please bring dps essences

agile laurel
obsidian patio
#

Due to how mechanics work in DR, defensive essences are useless in there

undone matrix
#

dps essences?

faint flare
#

Yes

undone matrix
#

What is that?

faint flare
#

Like skirmisher, Martialist, Profone/aetherweavee

#

Essences that increase your damage

obsidian patio
#

Skirmisher for DPS, Aetherweaver for healer, Martialist for Tanks

undone matrix
#

Where is it located?

faint flare
#

In your cache

jolly sorrel
#

Ohh, wait, no I get it. Most of the Phoenix abilities don't unlock until level 80. That's why I was missing so much.

faint flare
#

At the bottom

jolly sorrel
#

Just having unlocked it, all it does is change Ruin III and Outburst

remote lintel
#

essences are basically pots

obsidian patio
#

Essences last until you exit the instance or swap jobs

#

So they’re like stances

faint flare
#

Those pots at the bottom that say "Essence of X"

obsidian patio
#

Defensive Essences in DR are useless, Since getting hit by stuff gives you a stacking debuff that dooms you.

tacit jungle
leaden ginkgo
#

hey, what is best for crafting : melded 490 or i500 white scrip gear ?

agile laurel
#

only meaningful difference at 80 is bahamut rules apply - can't use egi actions while phoenix is out

faint flare
#

Overmelded 490

leaden ginkgo
#

ok thx

fringe bone
#

how do u get ultima horns?

remote lintel
#

doing a world boss fate

fringe bone
#

whats a world boss fate?

remote lintel
#

a world boss

crystal bluff
#

Fates that only spawn like every 36 hours

faint flare
#

Special fates with a long respawn and don't show on the map

fringe bone
#

So where does the ultima horn mob spawn so i can do it for the horns?

faint flare
#

Azya lla

#

It's the proto Ultima super fate

fringe bone
#

Can i get there ? im only at heavensward

faint flare
#

It's the final heavensward area

remote lintel
#

it's the last hw area

fringe bone
#

Which is azya lla

#

i cant get there

faint flare
#

You go there for the story

#

At the end

remote lintel
#

pretty sure you need to fly to the area it's in anyway

terse kindle
#

we get a free race change later on the game right?

fringe bone
#

i cant fly there

crystal bluff
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
dawn glen
#

How do fresh level 80s jump into a dailies and not be useless? I don't know most dungeons that well. I've been feeling pretty anxious about this so I don't do them.

crystal bluff
#

You get a fantasia at the end of 2.0 quests @terse kindle

remote lintel
#

just dont stand in aoes @dawn glen

terse kindle
remote lintel
#

and do your rotation

#

yes jeffren

fringe bone
#

you cant fly there without having all the aether thingys right?

remote lintel
#

@fringe bone you unlock flying there by doing the story

#

theres no currents iirc

terse kindle
#

is Shiva a german realm???

faint flare
#

Unofficially

remote lintel
#

its the unofficial german world

terse kindle
#

oh... really?

#

i was leveling here

#

without knowing it

faint flare
#

There's still English people there

#

There's just a good amount of Germans as well

terse kindle
#

can i change wold?

#

world*

remote lintel
#

not without paying

faint flare
#

You can world visit to another

#

Full proper transfers are paid

#

It doesn't really matter in the end

#

Everything is cross server

terse kindle
#

i want a guild but i only see germans applying on the recruitment here

#

how much does it cost?

faint flare
#

18$

terse kindle
#

JEESUS

faint flare
#

There's still English ones out there

open ember
#

Well you are paying to move ALL of your singular character data to a different server

terse kindle
#

what about lich?

tacit jungle
#

$18 is a lot?

terse kindle
#

i have a lvl 7 character there

tacit jungle
#

blizzard charges like, $40 for server and faction change

faint flare
#

Lich is fine, nothing special

terse kindle
#

i mean 18$ would give me 1 month of playtime

open ember
#

If you're lv7, then its not worth to pay $18 to move servers

tacit jungle
#

yeah but it's not a service you're going to use more than once, maaaaybe twice if you're unlucky

terse kindle
#

no

#

im level 26

#

i know its not a lot

#

but the german thing kind of turned me off ngl

#

how about lich?

faint flare
#

Shiva is unofficially German, moogle is unofficially French

#

And that's it for Eu stuff

tacit jungle
#

Honestly even lvl 26.... that's pretty fast to catch back up

faint flare
#

All other servers are standard, run of the mill

terse kindle
#

so im fine on lich?

frozen wind
#

Im level 51 now

faint flare
#

You're fine anywhere

#

It doesn't really matter

frozen wind
#

what command mission or dungeon should I do on my machinist for max exp?

modest igloo
#

dusk vigil

modest igloo
#

again, highest non-cap lvl dungeon

errant radish
#

kind of a dumb question, but what are the lvl 80 giant mob-bosses for? i saw a giant mob of ppl come fly in and kill a lvl 80 cactus guy

modest igloo
#

hunts

faint flare
#

Tomes, hunt currency

modest igloo
#

they give tomes and nuts for 520/530 gear

faint flare
#

Upgrade items*

errant radish
#

ah and i assume they're just drops and not quest rewards?

crystal bluff
#

Yes

errant radish
#

ah ok, ty

frozen wind
#

Weird

#

for some reason dusk vigil isnt on my avaliabe command missions

open ember
#

Its an optional dungeon

faint flare
#

Not every dungeon is in them

open ember
#

Its required to do it for aether current

sly sorrel
#

Okay so random question about the Chocorpokkur mount; does anyone know if you can send in a screenshot of a digital receipt or does it have to be physical?

remote lintel
#

they accept digital

open ember
#

You can but it has to have a UPC code

#

At least

frozen wind
#

Theres no option for dusk vigil

modest igloo
#

its not in the list

#

you can't do it with squads

frozen wind
#

should I do wanderes palace instead then?

modest igloo
#

no

faint flare
#

No

modest igloo
#

que for dusk vigil in DF

faint flare
#

Giant waste of time for nothing

sly sorrel
#

oh gotcha thx, i was gonna just order a bag off amazon but idk if that has a upc code so maybe i'll actually go to the store then lol

frozen wind
#

Im mainly doing squadrons for the emote

#

Levleing up my machanist is a bonus tbh, so i was hoping for alterantives for faster clears

static yacht
#

Japanese servers have the cheapest market board costs, right?

#

In terms of cost its EU > NA > JP?

#

especially for food / pots?

modest igloo
#

not really?

#

each server is different regardless of region

static yacht
#

yeah but in general

#

I know tonberry has like ridiculously cheap pots / food

frozen wind
#

If I cant que for vigil and just want fast 10 clears

static yacht
#

cause the competition is stupid

frozen wind
#

what dungeon should I que for to finish rapidly? And should I use a level 80 characther with 520 gear

modest igloo
frozen wind
#

Should I que as tank if it might make things faster?

modest igloo
frozen wind
#

I do have a paladin

static yacht
modest igloo
remote lintel
#

no

faint flare
#

No

modest igloo
leaden ginkgo
#

If I make a new character on another server will I get the
preorder earing mailed to me again?

frozen wind
#

I can make them go defense

#

You know what

#

ill go paladin and see if that works

leaden ginkgo
#

awesome ty

modest igloo
frozen wind
#

Which dungeon did you spam?

modest igloo
#

halatali was the best for me but i did Aurum vale for the xp

frozen wind
#

hatalia hard or normal?

modest igloo
#

normal

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

viral merlin
# gleaming finch any recommended third party tool

That's a very broad question, and one that's difficult to answer as third-party programs are straight up against the ToS; that said, SE has taken a 'don't ask; don't tell' or more appropriately, 'don';t cause problems for people' stance on third-party applications,.

#

Plus, if you're not looking to raid, ACT is virtually useless; it's a parsing meter, and little more than that.

#

i used crysta to upgrade from a free trial to the complete game but I figure the system's a bit different when it comes to buying an xpac

marble dome

you should be able to buy off of the square enix website for regular pc version

not on the SE store

so i had to use fake address and all that

neat hearth
#

for me to fly a mount do i have to do the black choccobo quest?

fast talon
#

depends where you are in the story, for ARR zones you just have to finish the MSQ. For expansions you need to get all the aether currents in an area (and i think the black chocobo quest is mandatory? i cant remember.)

neat hearth
#

u know how long aar is?

fast talon
#

i suppose if you just beeline the main story quests and one job (while doing its job quests) maybe a full day's worth?

short jasper
# neat hearth u know how long aar is?

Look at the level of the quests you are completing. If you're doing MSQ quests that are lower than level 50, you're not there yet. You'll start getting a few quests that are level 50 around the obvious 'oh this is getting to the end of this story' parts, leading to a quest 'The Ultimate Weapon.' After that quest, you'll have flying in ARR.

frail fulcrum
#

I tried again the ARR, it's significantly faster than the last time

fast talon
#

they did trim a bit of the fat

#

theres still quite a lot of fat but less so

frail fulcrum
#

Yeah

short jasper
#

After The Ultimate Weapon, you're going to do six patches worth of story to lead into Heavensward, with one unique trial in MSQ per patch. Once you're done the sixth trial, you'll notice the story is ramping up towards something. Once you see a warning that you're gonna watch a long cutscene, you're at the end, and it's Heavensward right after that.

Question

#

can you unlock all the level 50 trials right at level 50, without finishing ARR's story?

#

or do you need to finish ARR's story to unlock all the trials

for ARR, you need to do the story

so if I'm trying to get bitter memories of the dying for my dnc relic do I have to run the dungeons as my dancer or can I just queue it as healer/tank to get them way faster? :v

and iirc Antitower is the fastest lvl 60 dungeon

royal steeple
#

so I dont remember if I can run trials cause

short jasper
#

To add to what Kael said though--the fastest way to do bitter memories is to aoe grind mobs in Bozja.

royal steeple
#

i have a friend who loves trials

#

but isnt a fan of the msq

short jasper
#

With friends also aoe grinding other mobs

royal steeple
#

and i would run trials with her all the time lol

stable hinge
#

How do I turn off alliance effects?

short jasper
#

You also will need to do Bozja up to Castrum Lacum Lictore in order to start the next step anyways, so there's that.

how do i remove the lock icon near on the hotbar again?

last patio
#

oh wait wot

last patio
#

I need to push bojza?

#

shit

#

just been farming fates lmfao

short jasper
karmic niche
#

wait... i thought i hide it nvm

fast talon
#

the resistance weapons quests are tied to bozja

#

one step will require you to finish Castrum

twilit arch
#

the best you can do is hide the lock behind another hud element

short jasper
#

You only need to get to mettle rank 10 there to progress though, but yeah--you cannot avoid Bozja and get your relic completed.

fast talon
#

5.55 will add more content to bozja so it should be pretty active then

short jasper
#

That said, you can make some good gil working bozja so it's not a waste of your time. And you can grind mobs between CEs, and mob grinding is a good way to get Bitters.

gritty oracle
#

Will 5.55 be i535 relic?

fast talon
#

and if you still have jobs that arent lvl 80 the skirmishes give good xp

last patio
#

might just do some bojza then for the bitters instead

faint flare
last patio
#

havent touched bojza like aty all

fast talon
#

its pretty neat when theres a lot of people but i feel like its been dying down lately at least from what ive seen in my server

#

again 5.55 should reinvigorate it

gritty oracle
short jasper
#

It scales to people in it though so that's like... not a major problem

fast talon
#

Isnt that kinda new though

#

The scaling thing

short jasper
gritty oracle
#

Eh, it's okay if you're mostly there for the XP.

short jasper
#

Antitower is bad for XP for level 71-80 jobs though.

gritty oracle
#

Antitower is bad xp period since it's a cap dungeon, but it's like 12 minutes to clear and you only have to do it 6 times

fast talon
#

so ive never done the mob grind way for memories since im on a JP server and i dont speak JP, do you just party up with people and each take an area and just aoe mobs to death?

gritty oracle
#

Getting CEs to spawn is a pain

manic heath
#

looking into what class to play, I've never played before

short jasper
#

You can grind bitters in less time chain aoeing the mobs that drop fragments in Bozja solo, than you can doing chain antitower runs. And if you have three people doing it in three spots, it's even faster still. This has been tested, and verified, repeadedly.

Be patient, it's streaky.

I was thinking arcanist/summoner v archer v black mage

what's the use of magicked prism(indigo star)?

give yourself a pretty hat

they're just little fireworks

I love making decisions based on memes its ok

Black mage is not versatile at all. You sit on your rear and rotate between ice and fire spells. You don't give any buffs to the party, you can't move much, you just stand there and cast.

fast talon
#

i guess the most versatile i can think of is red mage just by virtue that they can become a healer (read: resurrecting the actual healers) if things go to shit

twilit arch
#

blm is plenty able to move danHmm

gritty oracle
#

Not at low levels

twilit arch
#

You didn't say anything about low levels with that statement

short jasper
#

At levels when blm 'can't move' they don't have leylines tying them to one spot either.

#

By the time you do have leylines, you have swiftcast, aethierial manipulation, thundercloud, and firestarter. You get sharpcast soon after. The only tools remaining at higher levels are triplecast and xenoglossy.

manic heath
#

I actually wanna be red mage eventually

#

but at the beginning something else I'll pick

#

gonna watch the meme job video

oblique yew
#

how much of a difference do the stats make in endgame content? i know that mechanics are the top priority

modest igloo
#

not as much as other mmos

#

it still helps to get better ilvl

#

but even with min ilvl you still have a bit of room

oblique yew
#

for eg, if i have a chest piece with strength 600 and another of 630, does it mean i deal more dmg?

modest igloo
#

yes

fast talon
#

for specific jobs the only stats that make a significant difference would probably be skill speed for optimization and timings, maybe piety for healers

oblique yew
#

hmm ok

short jasper
fast talon
#

the other stats just inflate damage so its only important if youre trying to parse good or whatever

modest igloo
#

almost all classes prefer main stat over everything else

#

if its a higher ilvl equip it asap

whole wasp
#

higher main stat as well as higher vitality

fast talon
#

ah thats true

oblique yew
#

when do i start melding materia?

fast talon
#

helps to have a tank that doesnt die in seconds

modest igloo
#

lvl 80

fast talon
#

you really dont have to worry about materia until lvl 80

whole wasp
oblique yew
#

is there a person for that? or do i have to do it myself?

fast talon
#

both

oblique yew
#

nice

twilit arch
#

npc melders exist in the major cities

fast talon
#

you can do it yourself but you need a crafter leveled

short jasper
#

If there are exceptions, it's generally in cases where a given substat is really bad for a job, either by making them play worse, or by not actually giving them throughput benefits.

whole wasp
#

if you have a crafter, you can do it yourself. else you can use and NPC yup

fast talon
#

the NPC costs money

whole wasp
#

its cheap. DW

fast talon
#

the you costs...time i suppose to level a crafter

oblique yew
#

and can i get back the melded materias if i want to use it on another gear?

fast talon
#

the highest level materia has a % chance to get it back

#

like 40% chance

short jasper
#

But at high levels, melding materia is a very meaningful change to damage, anywhere between 5-8% of your total, depending.

modest igloo
#

materia is pretty cheap these too buy as well

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm having a odd time right now

modest igloo
#

since hunts gave them out like candy

oblique yew
#

you can buy materia? from? mb?

whole wasp
#

yes

modest igloo
#

ye

fast talon
#

yes

oblique yew
#

oh wow

whole wasp
#

combat materias at least

modest igloo
#

and various other sources

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey is something going on with square's store

short jasper
# oblique yew you can buy materia? from? mb?

That's one way. You also get a currency called stelliclusters and planiclusters. Stellaclusters give you the top end level 80 materia for most gear, and you can just get these doing stuff you'd do anyways.

oblique yew

granted i didnt try to buy anything i was just browsing

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

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

How can I get my gear melded?

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

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

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

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

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

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