nice thanks!

when do you lose the sprout icon?

strange coral

168 hours of playtime and stormblood completed (Including post patches)

huh, can I check my playtime somewhere?

You can also disable it manually whenever you log in.

#

Where are you able to find your Square Enix ID, cause im having trouble logging in

junior crow
#

what's the general opinion on level 80 crafter/gatherer gear of asthetes vs white scrip?

strange coral
#

Mogstation has a Forgot your ID link

faint flare
#

Overmelded aesthete is BiS

heavy wadi
#

^

flat yew
#

BiS right now

faint flare
#

Scrip gear is always catch up

heavy wadi
#

But with all white scrip you can craft pretty much anything, save for maybe current experts

flat yew
#

I would only go for pentameld if you want to go for endgame crafts now. with endwalker and the cap raise there'll be new gear most likely

runic verge
#

Ok, next question, how long does that sort of email take to send usually?

junior crow
#

the scrip gear is better than non-penta asthetes, right?

flat yew
#

yep

strange coral
faint flare
#

Even lightly melded Aesthete is better

#

Scrip gear has so little CP

runic verge
junior crow
#

how expensive is melding for that? im not familiar with the process

heavy wadi
#

can't meld white scrip

strange coral
runic verge
heavy wadi
#

but for aesthetite it can be pretty pricey to pentameld, especially since the 5th meld has only a 10% chance of succeeding

flat yew
#

emails can take up to 20 minutes to arrive

runic verge
#

Definitely taken longer than that xD

tawdry otter
#

!gil

strange coral
#

Are you sure you entered the right email?

heavy wadi
#

it's been 4 minutes since you asked, unless you requested it a while ago

junior crow
#

i may just get scrip and go to asthetes if i see i need it, does that make sense?

runic verge
#

Yeah, i've checked it many times

runic verge
#

Guess im just unlucky? lol I'll just be patient

high otter
#

which stats do you suggest to pick for 515 relic spear? full crit or 50/50 crit/direct hit rate

strange coral
#

Follow your meld priority

warm snow
#

You can change it with poetics

#

So don't worry too much

high otter
#

good to know, thanks

flat yew
#

is there some way to check the age of my account?

warm snow
#

/ptime

#

For your playtime

runic verge
#

It says the join date in the account settings if that is what you mean

warm snow
#

That's about the best I can do for you

well not the playtime

#

yeah I was looking for the join date, thanks

does potd have a daily exp bonus ?

strange coral
#

No

sweet hedge
#

New player here lvling up rge was thinking of trying out samurai when 60 but read somewhere that its considered a selfish class to play any thoughts?

strange coral
#

Selfish just means it doesn't have any party buffs/utility. It's pure dps.

warm snow
#

Samurai has no party buffs

remote lintel
#

samurai starts at 50

warm snow
#

But excellent solo dps

#

You will however need the full game + shadowbringers to play

unreal folio
#

whats currently the highest ilvl for an armor set?

remote lintel
#

530

warm snow
#

530

sweet hedge
#

Gotcha i thought it meant something else. Yeah i plan to get the full game when im getting closer to finishing levling.

#

thanks you all

strange coral
#

It doesn't mean you're selfish for playing it. It's just a descriptor used for the job.

warm snow
#

Will be highest level gear til Endwalker

unreal folio
#

im assuming thats from the eden raids savage right?

remote lintel
#

and augmented tome gear

warm snow
#

And augmented revelations tome gear

unreal folio
#

ah nice!

warm snow
#

And finished relic weapons in a a little over a week

ill have to abandon the nier gears eventually kek

kind tree
#

just unlocked dancer. is the first job quest supposed to be super hard?

warm snow
#

Not really

faint flare
#

Equip your geae

#

In every slot

warm snow
#

It's expecting item level 270+ though

faint flare
#

You aren't given accessories

#

So you need to get some

kind tree
#

i have stuff equipped but i do no damage

faint flare
#

Because your accessories are shit

warm snow
#

What level are your accessories and belt?

faint flare
#

Go get some

kind tree
#

only 147 rn

heavy wadi
#

get some level 60 tomestone accessories

faint flare
#

Yeah

#

They're shit

#

So go get better accessories

warm snow
#

*Southern drawl

Well there's yer problem

kind tree
#

should i buy them from the MB?

faint flare
#

Poetics in idyllshire

#

For 270

kind tree
#

okay, whata fast way to get poetics is it only through stuff through duty finder?

remote lintel
#

yes

manic thistle
#

can't play the game due to error 6d, yet can't make a forum post due to not being able to play the game

You can open a support ticket

heady carbon
#

I am very undecided as to what to do next

#

I have a lvl61 BRD and finished ARR - I don't know if I should continue doing MSQ stuff or start a second class

remote lintel
#

whatever you want

green grail
#

flip a coin

hybrid mango
#

going for DNC relic which stats should i prioritize?

remote lintel
#

dex

faint flare
#

Follow your stat priority

green grail
#

crit > dh > det

faint flare
#

Crit dh det

hybrid mango
#

alright thank you

open coral
#

^ this is the stat priority for almost every class in the game.

remote lintel
#

I completely skipped over "relic"

hybrid mango
#

for healers too? or do i prioritize DET over DH when it comes to healers?

faint flare
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

it's preference

faint flare
#

Dh is more damage ordinated, det is less damage but slightly more healing

#

Healer relics can't have dh on then anyway so

remote lintel
#

oh

hybrid mango
#

thank you guys!

heady carbon
#

What's the most straightforward / accessible tank class?

#

I never played tank so I want to learn the role

remote lintel
#

any

heady carbon
#

same for healer

unreal folio
#

all tank clases are viable

faint flare
#

Tbh all of them, with gunbreaker being the more complex/active

remote lintel
#

whm for healer

faint flare
#

All tanks are very simple rotation wise

heady carbon
#

great, thanks

#

even Dark Knight?

remote lintel
#

yes

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Drk literally only has 1 combo

#

Rest is just smack shit on Cooldown

#

And very very slight mana management which is just "keep 3k mana for Tbn and don't overcap"

heady carbon
#

how much of the non-tomestone gear is craftable?

faint flare
#

All of it...if it's not dungeon/raid drops or tomes (or Hunts) then it's crafted

heady carbon
#

how do I recognize that?

faint flare
#

Blue is Tome/raid....Green is dungeons and some crafted.

White is crafted

fresh wing
#

gunbreaker does more dps than warrior/paladin right?

slim mango
#

What level should I start doing POTD daily? Any point if I'm still getting through Post-Heavensward?

faint flare
#

Very slight yes

remote lintel
#

you dont do potd daily?

slim mango
twilit arch
#

blue isn't always tome/raid though. basically if it can be sold on the marketboard, its probably crafted since like less than 1% of the gear that can be sold on it is dungeon gear

warm snow
#

The only consistent color assignment is purple for relics

heady carbon
#

I'm clearing my inventory/armoury chest and I don't know what I can safely sell

fresh wing
#

cant decide to play redmage or blackmage ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

#

who here played both and which do u prefer lol

heady carbon
#

I have a bunch of green stuff but I don't even like how it looks

remote lintel
#

if you dont need it then sell it

open coral
remote lintel
#

@fresh wing black mage has a much higher skill ceiling but is more rewarding

#

red mage has the least movement of the casters but is the easiest

twilit arch
#

right click it and select try on to see how it looks then?

fresh wing
#

red mage still does decent dmg right

open coral
#

Yes

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

clever cave

#

Riviera Stone Wall I think

twilit arch
#

ye it is riviera stone wall

clever cave
#

ah yes thank you

south kestrel
#

creating my first character, what are the main differences between picking thaumaturge and arcanist?

faint flare
#

Arcanist is the pet/dot job...Thaumaturge is Big booms and the turret caster

remote lintel
#

thamauturge becomes black mage and arcanist becomes summoner or scholar

unreal folio
#

Thaumaturge = meguminexplode

remote lintel
#

arcanist is the only class that gives you 2 jobs

unreal folio
#

lvling an ACN also lvls a SCH and SMN

#

so ur killin 2 stones with 1 bird :v

leaden ginkgo
#

Are there any resources or sites for chocobo racing and breeding?

weary dagger
#

What is the usual pug strat for e10s, where you drop the clone at shadowkeeper? (after dualspell)

oblique yew
#

what's the droprate of timeworn artifact from DR?

weary dagger
#

DR clear guarantees 1 artifact

clever cave
oblique yew
#

and other than the silver coins, what are the rewards?

twilit arch
#

chance to get hair, mount, orchestrion, barding, and a few housing pieces

#

dark doesn't get a set of gear at unlock. just chest, pants and weapon and that's it. chest and pants are generic nq lvl 30 gar

weary dagger
oblique yew
#

what's the next step after augmented bozja weapons?

#

patch 5.55?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Aka next week

oblique yew
#

how come it jumps from ilvl 515 to 535?

upper cove
#

Hi guys! Looking tondo my anima and need crystal sand. Whats the best way to go about farming them? I've googled but I was afraid they might be outdated.

faint flare
#

Because that's how relics go

#

This one went 485 > 500 > 515 > 535

twilit arch
#

if you have crafters/gatherers leveled, yellow scrips is best

upper cove
#

I dont really have any idea how to go about farming scrips yet

twilit arch
#

exchange them for blue scrip tokens

faint flare
#

Relics are always the best at the end of the expansions

oblique yew
#

unless there's some crazy ass grind behind

upper cove
#

Ah

#

Is that from collectibles?

twilit arch
#

yes

faint flare
#

Last steps generally aren't bad

twilit arch
#

also the custom deliveries

oblique yew
upper cove
#

Aight ill look into it. Havent done them at all

faint flare
#

There generally isn't armour connected to relics

#

Bojza has been special

#

And in part Eureka with elemental gear

oblique yew
#

will the armor also have increased ilvl in 5.55?

faint flare
#

There will probably be new ones, with proper Save the Queen Bonuses that aren't just haste

oblique yew
#

grinding for the relic wont weekly capped/locked right?

faint flare
#

Relics are basically never have any locks on it

#

At least without an alternative as well

oblique yew
#

nice nice

runic prawn
#

does mantra work on second wind and bloobath?

faint flare
#

!action Mantra

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Mantra** : lvl 42 PGL MNK (90.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases HP recovery via healing actions by 10% for self and nearby party members.
Duration: 15s

faint flare
#

Bloodbath no

#

Second wind I think?

#

Basically a healing action/spell needs to have a potency on it

runic prawn
#

i feel like mnk has a bunch of useless skills. like, what is six sided star and form shift even for now that GL isnt a thing?

hardy basalt
#

Any difference between chaos and light if im an european player?

azure kraken
#

Can anyone help me farm fates for resistance weapons.

faint flare
#

Form shift is for downtime, allowing you to open with dragon kick

#

Six sided star is for short downtime like point blank aoes

broken musk
agile laurel
#

granted, 6ss does win the prize for 'most whelming level 80 skill'

#

but it's not useless

runic prawn
#

i bet MNk is gonna get reworked again

pulsar escarp
#

poor mnks

#

I was gonna pick it up but I'll prolly wait till ew

#

haha if it might change

faint flare
#

Pretty sure the rework they did was a small band-aid for the expansion

runic prawn
#

ok so what is anatman for if you can just formshift into twin snakes and get the buff anyway?

faint flare
#

Anatman can retain your buffs so you don't have to

short jasper
#

If you anatman you don't have to.

faint flare
#

And immediately stuff with a buffed dragon kick

#

You always start fights/downtime with dragon kick for leaden fist

runic prawn
#

oh makes sense

#

still seems like underwhelming skill but i guess

faint flare
#

Being able to retain twin snakes when possible allows you to have that dragon kick buffed and potentially skip using twin snakes in favour of True strike

#

Depending on its timer

runic prawn
#

anatman could at least slowly give chakra like that one channel samurai skill that gives kenki or something

short jasper
#

A lot of microoptimization feels underwhelming

faint flare
#

Monk already has meditation for that

#

To generate chakra in downtime

runic prawn
#

oh u right

faint flare
#

Anatman did indeed take a hit in usefulness due to the rework, but everyone hated the anatman opener

short jasper
clever cave
#

another housing question -- the eastern cherry tree that people are listing on the mb, is from an event? not the mogstation one right?

faint flare
#

Yes...which won't come back cause it's on the mogstation

clever cave
#

ok

lunar shale
#

ok ive tried this lvl 52 class quest for RDM like 5 times " a rewarding struggle" i keep getting murdered by the last assassin lol am i supposed to wait to do this quest or something

faint flare
#

What's your gear

#

Cause your gear is probably shit

hardy basalt
#

Which classes can become dark knight, and are there any classes that are race locked?

lunar shale
#

mostly my fresh rdm gear from unlocking the class at 50

faint flare
hardy basalt
#

So i can tank as one of these small thingies?

lunar shale
#

how can the gap between 50 and 52 be that huge

faint flare
#

The starter gear is the BARE MINIMUM to start and should be replaced asap

#

The 53 dungeon drops 130 gear

#

So 115 is very low

faint flare
modest igloo
#

A min height lala does the same as a big roegdyn on drk

lunar shale
#

idk how to replace gear, im still on the main quest line but they are like lvl 40 quests and i just have to take the gil as a reward every time

faint flare
#

You're massively behind the story

#

You're expected to be in heavensward or at least finished ARR

lunar shale
#

i mean ive ONLY done the story and class quests lol so idk how thats possible

faint flare
#

It's not hard to be overlevelled

#

Story gives alot of xp, especially with dungeons first time clear bonus

#

More so with preferred server xp buff

lunar shale
#

i havent even done a dungeon that wasnt necessary to progress story

#

that might be it i guess, the 100% xp

faint flare
#

Yes, that doubles ALL

#

Xp

#

Including quest

#

You can very easily keep 3 jobs up to date with it

modest igloo
#

RDM came out in SB

#

So everyone had poetic gear to buy

rigid dove
#

Does someone know when the last sale on steam was for shadowbringers?

lunar shale
#

so i just have to wait to do this class quest until im caught up in story and gear i guess

faint flare
#

At least finished ARR

#

For poetic gear

solid fog
#

How do i know which world is congested ?

strange coral
#

None have Congested status. It would be in place of Standard or Preferred. The character creation thing is a temporary lock.

little swift
#

The word congested would be on the screen

#

If any world was congested

solid fog
#

well from all DC's none of the worlds are congested

faint flare
#

Yep

little swift
#

Thats correcr

#

What you're seeing is temporary server lock based on current online population

#

!faq serverlock

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why can't I enter this server?

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

This doesn't affect already created characters, just the creation of new ones

Hi all, really stupid question I guess. I'm on the trial mode, level 51 black mage. Just unequipped my weapon to try out some alchemy, now I can't seem to re-equip my BLM gear. Any ideas if I've missed something really obvious. Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

proud willow
#

Equipping the weapon made you a THM. You have to put on your soul crystal too

remote lintel
#

did you equip your blm weapon and soul stone

nocturne umbra
#

It was the soul crystal. Thanks so much. I'm super new to all this :/

proud willow
#

For best results, save a gearset so you can re-equip all your stuff with one click

nocturne umbra

Yeah just did that :p thanks very much.

you can update the gearset in one click too, by clicking the two arrows in a circle

another DNC question, i use devilment right after flourish correct? i saw in a video that said its optimized to use flourishing windmill outside of devilment
the rotation guide says to use it before devilement as well so im guessing thats the way to go 0:

Devilment should line up with Technical Step.

torn lichen
#

oh yes im talking about using it right after technical

open coral
#

Then yes.

It can also vary slightly on your partner but generally after technical is the go to

leaden ginkgo
#

Anyone know if I can make a macro to hide just the Kenki Gauge and Sen Gauge? Or just any class hud stuff

twilit arch
#

can't disable the job gauges

open coral
#

You can permanently hide them, but you can't turn them on and off without going through the HUD editor.

leaden ginkgo
#

that's rough

open coral
#

You can turn them on simple mode if you don't like the graphic versions though.

#

Those take up less space, if that's your concern.

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah i already have that on actually lol

twilit arch
#

best you can do is put them on simple mode and hide them behind other hud elements

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean i'm new so I need them for sure. Just wish I could hide em when not in combat or with a macro. Oh well. Thx

open coral

Everyone needs them. New or not.

They're integral to class play.

but you implied it was possible to make them appear at specific times, i.e in battle

#

when its not

short jasper
#

No fair enough, I admit I was wrong about that, but yeah, they can just use /hudlayout x to switch between layouts based on need, and in one layout, have them in the corner, and the other have it where they need it.

Thanks!

The only thing that matters even slightly is your job choice, since that's the class you'll be locked to for your first 10 levels. After that, you can swap jobs freely.

What is the best 5 minute recap of ARR/Heaevnsward? (text or vid)

static grotto
#

i second the question, skipped ARR cutscenes completely XD

muted vapor
#

So... for to make a Animated Weapon I need a Zeta weapon... and the zeta weapon is a bite of a grind is it? (which is even worse since I can't trade with other players or use the market board since i'm in the free trial)

obsidian patio
#

No you donโ€™t.

faint flare
#

You don't need a zeta to make Anima weapons

#

That's just to skip some easy fate grinding

obsidian patio
#

The zeta option is just there for players who already had one before HW relics got added

muted vapor
#

ooh

obsidian patio
#

It is absolutely not worth doing the zeta just to skip a small fate grind

muted vapor
#

I see... but to reach the end of the quest line for the Lux weapon Iโ€™m going to suffer a little because I canโ€™t exchange items right?

faint flare
#

Not exchanging them early so you can't prefarm much

#

Yeah youโ€™ll need 2nd Lieutenant in your GC to do the anima weapon to get the necessary items without crafting

Am I reading about Rested EXP right that it's more effective at higher levels because it's purely a percentage based bar that doesn't scale up or down with level?

jolly sorrel

Rested exp is so plentiful, I'd advise against maximizing it

Rested xp just gives you a flat 100% bonus to xp gained until it runs out.

How good are ARR beast tribes for combat exp? And what level can I start doing them?

#

Also, Menphina's earring is BiS for <80 right?

twilit arch
#

ARR tribes are ok for exp. the downside to them is that they don't scale within the content's level range

#

first tribe you can unlock is at 41

#

which is kobolds

#

I already unlocked them all, this is alt jobs

basically kobolds can be started at 41, sylphs at 42, amal'jaa at 43, sahagin at 44

I want to get samurai, but i also wanna try ninja, i'm a lvl 27 rogue right now, if i do the mission or idk what to do for Ninja does it reset my level to 1? or does it stay 30 and if i get to 50 with ninja can i get the samurai job with that?

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.

Mounts FAQ

'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.

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

Glamour Dresser FAQ

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"

The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.

"How do I use it?"

In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".

When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

@plucky trellis its only good if your dungeon queues are long

So I'm just waiting for forever because people are farming 51-60 then?

you'll be waiting longer than you'd wait for a 51-60 queue, certainly. Not forever though

once you beat floor 50, you permanently unlock the ability to start new saves on floor 51

#

dunno

#

If you need a Hydatos Crystal, you need a Hydatos Crystal. just like the previous Eureka zones

#

I'm pretty sure their drop rate increases if you chain, and may even be guaranteed at 30

high otter
#

wdym previous, it's the first one

proud willow
#

you're in Anemos?

high otter
#

I don't see any chain going, despite killing mobs one after another

runic prawn
#

does anyone know where UI and HUD is backed up? mine reset after reinstall

proud willow
#

there is a chain bonus when killing anything that is the same Elemental Level or higher

high otter
#

wdym same elemental level? I guess I didn't get how this elemental wheel works

proud willow
#

Elemental level is your level in Eureka

high otter
#

in that case I'm lvl 3 rn

#

so I should kill 30 enemies of lvl 3 in succession to get the crystal? that's a stupid system, ngl

proud willow
#

You're probably going to want an actual Eureka guide

faint flare
#

Eureka is a giant love letter to ff11

#

And old school mmos

proud willow
#

It's content that is deliberately invoking an older MMO playstyle

high otter
#

Bozja seems far more simple and less annoying than that

proud willow
#

Bozja was their response when people had complaints about Eureka

#

you're not necessarily going to like Eureka, but there it is

high otter
#

I ALREADY don't like it ๐Ÿคฃ But I must get the armor

faint flare
#

That's normal

proud willow
#

at the very least, you will tend to find the most cooperative people in Eureka

#

Bozja took out a lot of the cooperative elements

high otter
#

honestly I saw no people there, except for hunt trains, who just clear the map and exit

proud willow
#

that is the primary mode of making progress

#

both back then and now

#

The cooperation comes from the fact that people will work together to spawn the NMs efficiently and then wait for people to cross the map to get there before they pull

high otter
#

I understand, but it doesn't help to level up

remote lintel
#

it does a bit

faint flare
#

It gives xp

high otter
#

let alone getting that crystal by smashing as many mobs as fast as possible

runic prawn
#

swiftcast is useless on red mage right?

remote lintel
#

no

proud willow
#

Understand, you're doing it after ShB. It's been nerfed

remote lintel
#

swiftcast is used frequently

faint flare
#

no its a dps gain

proud willow
#

you would not ordinarily be able to blow through mobs that are the same EL as you

faint flare
#

Swiftcast thunder/aero and fish for a proc to avoid jolt

cerulean basalt
#

Noob question, but how does one find friends in this game?

proud willow
#

people would get full parties to chain mobs that were 2 or 3 levels over them

remote lintel
#

the same way you find friends irl

runic prawn
#

huh i thought swiftcast doesnt proc dualcast. is that new change?

remote lintel
#

no it doesnt

high otter
proud willow
#

There are some. and if there aren't, then just solo

#

you're incredibly late for the "I have something negative to say about Eureka train", that left the station years ago

fresh torrent
cerulean basalt
proud willow
#

hence why I said "you're not necessarily going to like Eureka, but there it is"

faint flare
warped nest
proud willow
#

Unlinking the old account and making a new one sounds like it should be an option, yeah

high otter
runic prawn
#

ah i see

proud willow
#

that's still something you have to go through support for, I think

remote lintel
#

@high otter you join the hunt trains

high otter
faint flare
#

It still gets you some xp

remote lintel
#

you join a party for them

fresh torrent
#

At least they couldnt unlink the beta from my account so its probably the only option

#

but ty

high otter
#

when I tried to join the party for hunt I was told that I won't get anything from it, because I'm too low level

remote lintel
#

you get a tiny bit of exp

faint flare
#

You get a reduce amount but it's still worth

proud willow
#

He also needs an Anemos crystal to finish the first quest

high otter
#

also enemies few levels above me just one-shot me, which makes traveling through the instance impossible

proud willow
#

so he should go solo and get that out of the way

remote lintel
#

stick to the middle of the train

faint flare
#

Enemies have different aggro.typed

#

Sight, sound, magic and blood

#

You can avoid al9t

proud willow
#

Enemies with sight aggro (which is most of them) have a very very small cone of vision.

high otter
remote lintel
#

in eureka

proud willow
#

in Eureka

faint flare
#

Mainly eur3ka

high otter
#

well, anyway, first of all I must do the quest

twilit arch
#

it does also apply outside of it

high otter
#

which means get the crystal

runic prawn
#

is reprise used only when you fuck up your mana balance?

twilit arch
#
As it is a ranged ability, Enchanted Reprise should mainly be used to maintain GCD uptime during movement heavy mechanics. It can also be utilized in a few other areas, including using it to weave oGCDs as they come off cooldown and using it to get an extra GCD before a boss becomes untargetable. It can also be used to dump mana before your Manafication, however with current potencies, this should not be seen as something that "must" be done each cycle.```
runic prawn
#

feels redundant since rdm already has dualcast to help with moving, but oh well

twilit arch
#

dualcast works for slight movement

#

as noted in the comment i posted its for "movement heavy"

faint flare
#

Youre not always gonna be able to cast for it

twilit arch
#

aka you're not able to stop and cast to set up a dualcast

verbal swallow
#

How would you rank each expansion in terms of the quality/enjoyment of the story/world? Starting with ARR until present.

runic prawn
#

in a perfect rdm play, i assume youd never use it?

faint flare
#

You.will use it

#

Depending on the fight

#

For those movement heavy phases

#

If you can't sneak out a spell to trigger dualcast, then you need reprise to keep your gcd rolling

#

Otherwise you're losing dps

runic prawn
#

i guess i thought it was like SMN ruin 2 where you dont wanna use it if possible

faint flare
#

Summoner can completely avoid using Ruin 2

#

Red mage can't if mechanics deem it

warm snow
#

Summoner has ruin 4 and egis for insta cast movement rdm only has enchanted reprise

true verge
#

how do i change my characters name?

faint flare
#

Red mage only have Swiftcast to move during heavy movement phases if we ignore Reprise

#

Which isn't enough

warm snow
#

For example: emerald weapons blender attack

twilit arch
#

on mogstation, under additional services. its 10$ to change name @true verge

warm snow
#

You ain't dual casting around that or you're dead

honest nexus
#

do you think its possible to make a custom hotbar 2x3? I have a G604 mouse

faint flare
#

just server tick through the attack 5head

magic light
faint flare
#

Just walk through it with perfect server timing :)

warm snow
#

How the fuck?

faint flare
#

Aren't server ticks fun

little swift
#

just tick timing lining well

#

you can do that through the middle as well

magic light
#

rdm can probably do what i did with ease

#

blm, not sure

#

but probably yes

#

as i've seen whms do it

runic prawn
#

does BLU have lb3? or even 1/2?

proud willow
#

Nope

leaden ginkgo
#

if im not playing on a preferred server, will i still outlevel the MSQ ?

runic prawn
#

ty

leaden ginkgo
#

or will i need to sprinkle in other quests to keep up

twilit arch
#

a lower levels, pretty easy to stay ahead of msq

#

but generally if you're doing msq, job quests and daily leveling roulette

proud willow
#

You'll outlevel it at first but it'll probably catch up to you by the mid 40s if you don't sprinkle in other things

twilit arch
#

you should be able to keep similar in level to it

proud willow
#

roulettes, really. No need to do quests for XP, that's kind of a waste of time

leaden ginkgo
#

Cause i cant make a toon on Lamia atm >.< but i have a bunch of free time i dont want to lose waiting to get in

potent lava
#

im curious
during bardams first boss, is it possible to position it so that the roar only angers one pack of mobs, or is 2+ just guaranteed

shrewd kiln
#

Is there a box or something for putting triple triad cards in? They're eating a lot of inventory space. I haven't played but I want to start at some point.

strange coral
#

Use them to add them to your collection

#

Just like mounts, minions, etc

hot eagle
#

and cards you already own you can sell for some mgp in the gold saucer

boreal storm
#

When selling cards, thankfully it will say which ones you own already

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok so I did pre-order endwalker were we supposed to get the email for it or what

#

Maybe itโ€™s where I preordered is the problem

shrewd kiln
leaden ginkgo
#

Am I right is there a code to get the items now...like that ear ring itโ€™s gonna be a big help

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

I preordered from steam so Iโ€™m kinda lost

faint flare
#

Right click game > steam keys

#

Right there

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

lusty timber
#

Very possibly a stupid question, but what is Reprise for? Does it fulfill basically the same function as Scathe for BLMs, except more effectively (just a source of DPS when you need to move and don't have an instant cast available), or is there specific utility for it?

leaden ginkgo
#

I will do it after I deal ||with the wod for the moment||

lusty timber
#

Thanks boss

#

Didn't think to Ctrl+F; sorry about that.

leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

But itโ€™s hard to consistently do from my experience

potent lava
#

yeah, it seems like everytime i do it i just end up hitting three groups

timid vigil
#

Whats the difference between pc and pc download on the square enix shop? Im trying to buy shadowbringers but idk which to pick.

remote lintel
#

physical vs digital

twilit arch
#

pc download is digital, pc is physical

Thank u

#

What is "play time"?

crystal bluff
#

if you mean the 30 days play time you get when buying the game, it means you have 30 calendar days before you have to pay your sub

minor saffron
#

are all dungeons basically 8 man after like lvl 50 in msq? Seems like it went from 4 to always 8 now

faint flare
#

No

remote lintel
#

no

#

only 2 dungeons are 8 man

faint flare
#

Castrum and praeotirum are special

minor saffron
#

theres a couple after those too that are 8

faint flare
#

Dungeons are 4man, trials and raids are 8mans

remote lintel
#

no there isnt

minor saffron
#

idk if theyre actually "dungeon"

faint flare
#

Alliance raids are 24man

#

Things vs 1 boss are trials

minor saffron
#

#

timid vigil
remote lintel

#

Hey, i'm sure this has been asked over and over, but I preordered the game and I'm not seeing the area to get the preorder code like with Shadowbringers.

leaden ginkgo
#

Are there any unlockable hairstyles for viera?

remote lintel
#

@leaden ginkgo no

gritty oracle
clear shoal
#

didn't get the code

gritty oracle
#

you'll get an email with a link in it

twilit arch
#

where did you buy it from

clear shoal
#

Okay, cool. With shadow bringers it showed up in my purchase history and I clicked "unlock key" or something, so I was confused when I didn't see that
