Thaumaturge will upgrade to black mage at level 30, provided you've been keeping up with msq and after finishing your level 10 job quest you'll be able to stsrt other jobs

Basically none

Europe has enough players that we need 2 data centers that's pretty much it

Chaos has Moogle which has more French people, and Light has Shiva which has more German people

chaos has more streamers iirc if you are into that sort of thing.
grim bolt
When does the FFXV event begin and end? Just wondering how long I'll have to grind the like, 2 million plus MGP I need to get everything
obsidian patio
We donât know the duration of it, but from past reruns it lasted like a month and a half or two months
You can get a head start on the MGP now by doing the weekly Fashion reports
whole wasp
at the very least, do the fashion report every week to accumulate MGP
grim bolt
How do the fashion reports work? My small brain can't comprehend the tutorial
obsidian patio
Also you only need like, 400k MGP or so assuming nothing new is added
thin island
is it possible to check what will be available nw?
versed bison
Balmung & Mateus are NA servers ?
obsidian patio
Basically you talk to an NPC wearing an outfit/glamour set and they judge it and give you a score.
Get under 80 and you get a consolation prize of 10k for the week. Get 80 or more and you get an extra 50k MGP.
warm snow
is it possible to check what will be available nw?
What what will be available?
thin island
the make it rain
warm snow
Make it Rain is largely just a golden saucer promo event
thin island
thanks!
warm snow
Mgp from games is doubled
thin island
no new stuffs added to be bought using mgp?
obsidian patio
We donât know
thin island
ahh got it
obsidian patio
MGP from basically all sources get doubled but items that give MGP, like the cards you use for MGP or turning in duplicate TT cards
warm snow
But that was my first make it Rain so idk if that's new or not
versed bison
So Balmung & Mateus and Tonberry & Kujata are north american worlds ?
obsidian patio
Last yearâs event was pretty scuffed due to COVID
warm snow

What data center are they on?
obsidian patio
Tonberry/Kujata are JP worlds on Elemental.
Balmung/Mateus are NA worlds on Crystal.

what do they mean by roleplaying worlds ?

Just like every other beast tribe past arr(with small but unimportant exceptions)
craggy dragon

Those worlds have high populations of role players
versed bison
You know what role playing is?
so they act in character right ?

craggy dragon
could someone explain what second chance points are for retry? (1 point)
im kind of unclear (wondrous tails)
versed bison
I wish it was easy to change worlds and datacenters lol, but I guess it's a hassle for the backend guys
warm snow
You can transfer between worlds and data centers but it costs a tenner
warm snow
could someone explain what second chance points are for retry? (1 point)
Reset one of the squares for wondrous tails so you can reclear it to add another stamp

oh dear.. so the world and datacenter I have to choose should be a wise one đŚ
craggy dragon
how can i aquire more points?
obsidian patio
Complete duties with a first timer
slow isle
What kind of furniture do you need to craft dyes?
craggy dragon
so theyre relatively easy to aquire then?
warm snow
I used to play on a us server cuz a friend told me the EU servers were dead. Ping was awful so I moved
obsidian patio
None. All crafters make dyes at level 30.
Thereâs no distinction between which ones can make what so you just need any at level 30.
obsidian patio
so theyre relatively easy to aquire then?
If you do a few daily roulettes every day you basically never run out of them.
slow isle
Is it a thing you click on to mix? Like getting a pigment and a Crystal together? Cause I donât see it in the log.
obsidian patio
Itâs in the starred section of the log
slow isle
Oh wait, you said level 30.
warm snow
Dye crafts are in a separate section
Above the levels(1-5 etc) there's a button to switch to a separate list of crafts
slow isle
So what about colors like Ash Grey? Are those only bought from merchants?
versed bison
Are the EU servers actually dead ?
obsidian patio
No.
leaden ginkgo
Some are bought, some made by crafters, others are from beast tribes
obsidian patio
So what about colors like Ash Grey? Are those only bought from merchants?
For the ones that donât say ârestrictedâ in their shop selling price, that means the dye vendors in the main city states have it.
The ones with (restricted) generally being only from ARR beast tribes, except for a few
versed bison
I really have to make a permanent decision as to which server to pick lol
obsidian patio
Itâs not really permanent, you can move basically anytime for $18
versed bison
I see. So I'll use an eu server for now. But I hope there are English speakers in the EU region lol
obsidian patio
Of course.
naive horizon
Just pick whatever name you like the look of
There are English speakers everywhere
obsidian patio
Only 2 servers really specialize in French (Moogle)/German (Shiva), and even then itâs not like theyâre an extreme majority

Okay so I've tanked bunker as OT and I've to say it's pretty easy
What's the difference between a MT and OT tanking the first boss
The mechanics are the same

First boss of bunker kinda doesnât use main tanks? All 3 tanks technically have aggro

So grit on or off
obsidian patio
As long as theyâre alive theyâre the main tank for their party
vital ruin
And hbt the third boss
obsidian patio
Regular boss
obsidian patio
Yep

You change servers if you have issues with it
Just costs money
@versed bison
Since you're in India go to JP so you don't have timezone issues
Once you're in Canada change servers

agile laurel
Am I right in remembering for some reason that there were a couple of VAs untouched by the ARR purge?
polar hound
sorry, i meant to quote
whole wasp
np
polar hound
basically means the servers are populated/at capacity with online players.. you can keep trying repeatedly but generally people have better luck when it's not prime time for the server they're trying
versed bison
I see
polar hound
so you can hope a few people logoff and you get a chance or..try later kinda deal..congested means creation is just flat out closed until further notice.
versed bison
I just wanted to find a good English speaking server with minimal ping/latency issues

those are good ones

thats why they're pretty heavily populated imo heh

if you dont wanna use the client, you can go #kupo-bot-spam and keep trying !status yea

You can also keep refreshing that page

im choosing a server for the first time ever aka hella new too the game and ive heard that crystal is generally very casual and rp focused and not easy to find groups on, honestly just clueless generally

what to prioritize for dancer?
A good starting pointing is maxing CRIT and DH and putting the rest in DET. You can min/max your relic for your needs by plugging your gear into https://etro.gg/ and watching for wasted secondary stats.
agile laurel
im choosing a server for the first time ever aka hella new too the game and ive ...
frankly, whoever says crystal is full of casuals is a moron. It has a comparatively smaller raiding population than the other 2, but that doesn't mean it's small
crystal has a rap for being 'the RP datacenter' but in practicality that affects nothing
wicked depot
so realistically you can do endgame stuff on all servers and the stigma doesn't really matter or affect your ability to do that?
agile laurel
yep
the stigma, you'll find, is primarily from people with little first hand experience
it is factually accurate the raiding population is smaller than aether and primal
it is not factually accurate that the raiding population is small
wicked depot
so smaller comparitively but still large in the grand scheme of things
agile laurel
large enough. yep.
in practice it's really just the difference between waiting 5 minutes or 10 minutes for your groups to fill
and a hell of a lot of confirmation bias
glossy flare
I mean that is only natural, the game offers many kinds of content and not everyone does engage in raiding. By comparison each dedicated community for whatever kind of content could be considered "small"
Realistically everyone can engage with whatever kind of content they want
(except maybe pvp, that really is kinda dead)
agile laurel
i started out on crystal and with regards to pursuing endgame content, I literally could not have done any better for myself
So options are plenty available
tl;dr crystal is a meme but not a factual one

If you are expecting large scale battles, you can do PvP. Or the 24-player PvE content at lvl 50
Aside from those, your dungeon experience are usually very brief and limited because it is done by match making
Alternatively, you can join player guild (known in game as FC, free company)
And do dungeons with your FC mated

what item do i need to reset my chocobo skills? and is it one item one skill or the whole thing?
what grand company should i join?
agile laurel

whichever you like the aesthetic of the most
it makes no difference otherwise

is there a list of what glow weapons that we can get like Seeing Horde and relic...
There's a guy on youtube who does videos of crafted weapons, and someone on reddit has one-pic galleries of hw/sb relics

Does the pvp map change with the daily reset?
Yes

leaden ginkgo
it makes no difference otherwise
oh thought i do more quests in the region i choose but when it is just the aesthetics i probably choose limsa
agile laurel
fair enough then
vital ruin
Go flames or twin adder unless you have a good spec platform @leaden ginkgo
midnight tinsel
Spec platform ?
vital ruin
PC or console
agile laurel
what?
agile laurel
...the limsa GC isn't even in the same loading zone as the plaza
that's stupid advice
vital ruin
How tf is that stupid bruh
agile laurel
literally a non-issue
vital ruin
You take a lot time to get to limsa then another lod times to the limsa GC
That's too much load times
If you have shit specs
agile laurel
By like a second? Don't mislead people into thinking that's actually worth determining your choice
vital ruin
Wtf
Go watch the PS4 load times on youtube
Literally having no knowledge on PS4 load times and trying to argue
grim bolt
I play PS4, I get pretty normal frames in Limsa
grim bolt
I don't have an SSD either, I still get normal frames there.
vital ruin
I get shit frames idk about you then
obsidian patio
Either way, the choice becomes meaningless if you use the teleport tickets that take you directly to your GC base.
fading aurora
Ssd shouldnt affect your fps much it should only affect your load times
vital ruin
Wait I meant lag
vital ruin
Idk man a lot of PS4 users in farming parties have had the same issue
Everyone was like lemme leave limsa real quick

gnb has the highest unlock level of any tank

modest igloo
They have a gear calculator on there @fading aurora

Which dc are australian players in atm
agile laurel
at a higher level however, you'll probably just find unorganised gnbs not using defensives because they have no space to due to doubleweaves

i liked drk starting at 30, I'd of sucked had I jumped in a lvl50

i did not like drk starting at 30 if only because i feel like drk leveling sucks, but thats just me
warm snow
i liked drk starting at 30, I'd of sucked had I jumped in a lvl50
They try keep them closer to new level cap so that the older players don't get out off by a long grind
ember vault
some bias to be fair Drk was the first tank class i played with properly
warm snow
Hw is 30 cuz arr was 1-50
vital ruin
I had a hard time levelling DRK but that's cos I had no knowledge of deep dungeons beast tribes and pvp

your distance to your DC still impacts connection quality, no matter how fast your internet is
your role says JP but I will assume you are not actually over there
so that is probably it
ember vault
if its wireless go for direct connection, how i sorted out my inital issues
vital ruin
Nope I'm on PS4 nothing else is running
I c
So I'll just have to wait for the Oceana dc
glossy flare
if the Oceana dc would be closer to you, that would probably improve things, yes
vital ruin
It's connected directly
glossy flare
guess you're an aussie?
ember vault
ok you have direct connection, is there anything else running on other devices when you are connected
glossy flare
similar issue then
aussie connections are known to be so so when connecting to the jp dc
ember vault
oh
glossy flare
so if you're close that is probably it
vital ruin
I mean there's so many electronics at home and they're connected but internet is good
The issue is most probably location
glossy flare
yeah, it's just your physical distance to the dc
vital ruin
I'll wait for Oceana
glossy flare
not your fault
vital ruin
But the raid lags bro 
modest igloo
at least a solution is coming
vital ruin
True
ember vault
I'm on an EU server so I lack the know how of JPN's servers
versed bison
I'm confused between seelcting a hyun character or an au ra character
fading aurora
There is a solution but it will probs cost u like 10$ a month
vital ruin
Huh
glossy flare
I'm on an EU server so I lack the know how of JPN's servers
the issue is that for people from new zealand or australia for example the closest DC would be the JP one
but that's still quite a distance
vital ruin
10 bucks a month?
ember vault
seby dont say vpn
glossy flare
I once heard connections are even worse in Indonesia, no idea if that's true though
fading aurora
If you use noping it will reduce ping lag if you play on servers from another country
glossy flare
yes
open coral
Itâs a vpn service
vital ruin
Bro I'm on PS4
fading aurora
Its a program that reduces ping for games located in another part of the world
vital ruin
I can't run anything else on my background
glossy flare
fair enough
but for the record: You could reroute the traffic of your ps4 over your pc which is then using a vpn
fading aurora
U cant really notice noping ive used it before and load times were the same
vital ruin
I already have the battle effects at a minimum I just want good ping
glossy flare
so your ps4 would be using a vpn by extension
junior elm
hey anyone with INSANE lore knowledge i can ask some questions?

Is an au Ra's tail hidden when they wear an armor ?
it's not
tail is always visible
sometimes the tail even has its own armor

Oh ... Hmm they both are kinda good (hyun and au ra)

Is au ra male the tallest at 7 feet?

no that goes to the male viera, they look damn tall
vital ruin
Went from derplander to catboi

That's all.

ok thanks
crimson crystal
Also keep in mind they'll keep dropping as long as you have the quest (doesn't stop at 20) so you can farm for as long as you want and get head start on next weapon
