Leves are pretty good for leveling crafters, you can usually buy the stuff and if you pick up HQ ones you get double the rewards

obsidian patio
#

Not all shoulder/head minions do it upon command

twilit arch
#

it doesn't

sand grove
#

He's independent lol

twilit arch
#

he sits on the shoulder/head of his own accord

obsidian patio
#

The Morpho butterfly also does it on their own

bitter fulcrum
#

is there a way to open specific ui windows with macros? specifically the mount guide and housing menu

I know about the "drag to hotbar" but I was hoping it was macroable

obsidian patio
#

And in contrast, the Koala Joey tries to do it immediately upon being summoned

#

Most of those windows are macro lines

#

Go to the macro menu and open up the list to see if it’s there

twilit arch
#

generally if its an obedient minion, it'll respond to slash commands

bitter fulcrum
#

oh my god

twilit arch
#

if its independent, it won't

#

or atleast requires like the mammeter title for them to do so

bitter fulcrum
#

i had literally no idea that macro command list existed

#

#

Hey, guys, I'm not sure this is the right place for this? But I've seen people place waymarks on the other platform in Diamond Weapon Extreme? How do you do that with the platform not being there?

faint flare
#

Saved waymarks

#

They have them saved as a preset

glossy flare
#

gotta save the layout after you placed them during the fight

wind zinc
#

Well we're trying to place them, and you can't place during combat

faint flare
#

If no one has them saved then you place them down after you killed it

#

Then save it

warm snow
wind zinc
#

Ah! That makes sense

#

Thank you!

warm snow
#

Don't really need markers for diamond once you know the fight

wind zinc
#

Yeah, we're still in the process of learning, and markers would have been really helpful.

faint flare
#

Yeaaah you could really do it without them but PF is braindead

wind zinc
#

This is a static group ^^; We're just trying to make things easier on us.

ripe hound
#

Or join a random PF party, then save their markers

#

Is UWU harder than UCOB?

#

Not really?

faint flare
#

Ehhhhhh it's a different type of fight I would say

ripe hound
#

I'm thinking about doing UWU as my first Ultimate because I like the glamour

#

I see

faint flare
#

Ucob is longer and more endurance training

ripe hound
#

I see

noble pollen
#

Is it bad to use too much aoe?

faint flare
#

Uwu is seen as the easiest ultimate, as it's difficulty was the hidden puzzle

faint flare
sand grove
#

Is there anything 61 or higher that can be cleared solo that's relatively time efficient?

ripe hound
ripe hound
faint flare
#

Doing Titans Gaols are kinda ass then it's just do Ultimate mechanic dances

faint flare
#

More or less...need to get the consistency down

ripe hound
#

Finding an Ultimate static is no different from a Savage Static right?

#

Just get ready to head bumb the fight enough times?

faint flare
#

You go about it the same way

#

Just make sure the people you get are ready for alot of wiping and generally consistent

ripe hound
#

I see, I'm planning to try UWU like, sometimes before 6.0, or after 6.0 just release

#

I see

#

Wait, 6.0 release is really close to 8 man savage release right?

#

I think Savage release like... around 6.05?

#

Is there even x.05?

faint flare
#

Two weeks delay for normal

#

Then another two weeks for savage

ripe hound
#

I see, is it a patch?

#

.05 patch?

faint flare
#

Yes

ripe hound
#

Nice

faint flare
#

Basically like 6.01

ripe hound
#

lol

#

Have there ever been balance changes on a x.01 patch?

#

Like, "Oh shit this job was not balanced for savage" kind of moments?

faint flare
#

Normal release I don't think so? But savage release yeah

twilit arch
#

yes

ripe hound
#

I see

twilit arch
#

were the 5.01 changes

#

obviously not anythin super major

#

but there are balances in .01 patches

faint flare
#

With normal mode release and extreme modes already out, Devs are getting feedback about things

ripe hound
twilit arch
#

.05 will also most likely come with balance changes

warm snow
#

Job quests

ripe hound
warm snow
#

Calamity salvager

twilit arch
#

then buy it from calamity salvagers in the three m ajor cities @wanton ingot

ripe hound
twilit arch
#

savage is the major thing

faint flare
#

Yes

lunar shale
#

why doesnt the sundry splendor vendor not have anything for DNC?

faint flare
#

Near the blue dps people

ripe hound
#

I see

faint flare
#

Cause there's no gear for them under lv60

#

Since they start at 60

twilit arch
faint flare
#

Outside of normal aiming gear

ripe hound
#

There is a lv 60 poetics weapon for DNC right?

lunar shale
#

oh i didnt know it wouldnt show unless you were that level lol

ripe hound
#

So no reason to make DNC weapons for lv 50 poetics lol

warm snow
lunar shale
#

yea im lvl 59 was just looking for gear when i tried out dancer

twilit arch
#

sundry vendors only have gear appropriate for that expansion's content. so the sundry vendors in the 3 starting cities only have lvl 50 stuff

warm snow
#

So while it can equip old bard gear there are no weapons below 60

lunar shale
#

but i guess thats why im not seeing anything for it

twilit arch
#

the sundry vendor in ishgard has 60, etc

ripe hound
lunar shale
#

i just have 2k poetics and wanted to spend some but i guess ill wait

faint flare
#

If you have idyllshire access you can buy shire there

#

With your tomes

lunar shale
#

i dont think that i do lol ty tho

ripe hound
#

Do you need to unlock Idyllshrine to unlock lv 60 sundry vendor?

faint flare
#

Naturally

ripe hound
#

Or you just need lv 60 job

faint flare
#

Cause ishgard sundry splendor unlocks after heavensward completion

ripe hound
#

Like if you are lv 62, which MSQ at lv 55

#

I see, MSQ is still mandatory

faint flare
#

All sundry splendors unlock after their respective story completion

twilit arch
#

you need to complete the main scenario quest "Heavensward" to unlock the ishgard sundry splendor

lunar shale
#

ye im lvl 59 and not to heavensward yet

ripe hound
#

You don’t need to complete HW MSQ for DNC right?

faint flare
#

No

twilit arch
#

no

ripe hound
#

Cool

faint flare
#

Only heavensward jobs had story required

ripe hound
#

Yeah DNC do give you some job gear once you unlock it

#

Should be good enough gear to complete MSQ

faint flare
#

All but accessories

#

And belt

ripe hound
#

Right, belt

lunar shale
#

what can i do for xp if im stuck on the no xp quests before heavensward and ive done my duty roulettes for today? i need like 3.2mil xp blaah i want to get dancer already lol

faint flare
#

Only roulettes really

#

Daily

ripe hound
lunar shale
#

not sure i know what msq means

faint flare
#

Story

boreal storm
#

The plot

lunar shale
#

ah thats what i thought but story level threw me off

ripe hound
lunar shale
#

i just finished The Striking Tree trial

faint flare
#

Post arr stuff

lunar shale
#

yea the no xp quests lol 4800 per quest bleh

faint flare
#

It's so you don't overlevel for the expansion

ripe hound
#

Oh my... then, uh, try POTD?

lunar shale
#

why dont they just cap you at 60 until you start the expansion smh

faint flare
#

I mean, those quests didn't give any experience

#

Originally

urban temple
#

where do i find the remaining 5 aether currents?

twilit arch
#

they're bluequest

faint flare
#

Blue questd

twilit arch
#

last one is generally going to be msq however

faint flare
#

Top line is blue quest currents

#

With story

urban temple
#

ok thank youu

lunar shale
#

do the duty roulettes reset at a specific time or is it like 24 hours from when you completed them? i havent kept track

faint flare
#

!daily

twilit arch
#

!daily

zinc orbitBOT
#
Tick, Tock, Kupo!
Time Until Daily Reset:

15 hours, 1 minute, 22 seconds

faint flare
#

They reset in that time

boreal storm
#

The last msq quest in that zone usually gives the current

lunar shale
#

ooohk

leaden ginkgo
#

if i prepurchase the steam upgrade for endwalker now, i get the earring/minion to use immediately right?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

After registering the preorder code naturally

leaden ginkgo
#

secondary question: i used to live in the eu so my ffxiv acc is eu based, but i moved back to na and my steam acc is na

onyx anchor
#

At level 50 WAR, do you use Heavy Swing -> Maim -> Storm's Eye and then repeat Heavy Swing -> Maim -> Storm's Path?

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

if i ,,,, preorder, wont i get the na registration code? i dont remember how i bought the shadowbringers expac

#

;_;

onyx anchor
#

Aight ty

faint flare
#

You would... So need someway to get steam to swap back to Eu briefly or something

leaden ginkgo
#

ripe hound
#

leaden ginkgo
#

remote lintel
#

leaden ginkgo
#

remote lintel
#

no

shut panther
lunar shale
#

faint flare
#

It's just a roguelike dungeon

#

Go smack stuff. Open silver chestd

remote lintel
#

can you rename an fc

lunar shale
#

weiird

#

twilit arch
remote lintel
#

soloing it is a challenge

#

ty

twilit arch
#

tho keep in mind its a 30 day cd between name changes

remote lintel
#

and can you have multiple co leaders?

boreal storm
#

Solo Potd is a challenge, you really only do it for the achievement

twilit arch
#

no

fast stream
#

how come when i complete a trial i dont seem to get the tomestone?

#

faint flare

remote lintel

are you doing it on a lvl 50 and are they lvl 50 trials

fast stream
#

yup

obsidian patio
#

Are you talking about the seasonal tomestones?

#

The Pageantry?

fast stream
#

yess

remote lintel
#

those are only from nidhogg ex and hades ex

obsidian patio
#

They only come from the duties with the Fanfest logo by the name

obsidian patio
fast stream
#

ohh i see

boreal storm
#

Unless they’re marked they won’t give those

faint flare
#

For trials

fast stream
#

oke oke ty

remote lintel
#

what other trials?

oblique hinge
#

So, curiously, is there a reason that I am unable to set to my hotbar/execute Heat Blast and Autocrossbow for pvp? PvP profile lists them as abilities, but I can't do anything with them.

obsidian patio
#

Oh trials specifically.

faint flare
#

Hades and nidhogg are the only trials

faint flare
obsidian patio
#

Heated Combo turns into Heat Blast, Spread Shot turns into Autocrossbow

leaden ginkgo
#

how can i get to the left side of the map as fast as possible? ^_^

remote lintel
#

the boat

oblique hinge
#

oh big thanks guys!!!

timber gale
#

how much xp do you get per fate at max resistance in Bozja?

remote lintel
leaden ginkgo
#

thanks, didnt see that 😄

faint flare
#

Rank had no effect on xp

timber gale
#

sweet thank you

faint flare
#

Outside of getting to higher zones

vapid spoke
#

Is there a way to make your mini map bigger?

faint flare
#

Increase it in the hud editor

surreal flare
#

does anyone know where people farm vexatious memories

#

besides the raids

obsidian patio
#

Vexatious Memories also come from Othard FATEs

#

So Ruby Sea, Yanxia, and Azim Steppe

surreal flare
#

yeah but which ones do people usually run

#

which area i mean

obsidian patio
#

Most people like the Azim Steppe

uncut void
#

Lovely ppl I'm thinking about playing again ffxiv but I'm not sure if it's worthy to save some quids buying the complete ed for mog station instead of steam. what do you think?

obsidian patio
#

If it’s not a brand new account you need to buy the one for the platform your account is on

uncut void
#

I just played a realm reborn at the release so I don't really care that

obsidian patio
#

It still matters as you can’t go cross-license for PC

#

What does this part of the mogstation look like for you?

leaden ginkgo
#

anyone updated there windows,and ffxiv gets deleted?

uncut void
#

I don't have a mog account yet, i played it on ps4 and moved to pc the year after the release, 2013 aprox so I need a new account

#

mog station working fine then or better If I buy it for steam?

obsidian patio
#

In that case Mogstation/SE store is fine, unless you want to also pay for subscription using steam wallet as an option

ripe hound
#

Since Steam is just an extra layer of DRM in this situation

lilac bloom
#

Quality doesn't matter in Beast Tribes unless it specifically asks, right? For exp.

obsidian patio
#

Correct

lilac bloom
#

thanks

ripe hound
#

You can slide cast as SAM right?

foggy marlin
#

why does it say lv 15 i unlock something but im past lv 15 now and it wont let me learn it

ripe hound
#

Like, SAM is the only physical “caster” I think lol

foggy marlin
#

but it says the affinity

obsidian patio
foggy marlin
#

im confused prez_cry

obsidian patio
#

Affinity? Can you take a screenshot?

foggy marlin
obsidian patio
#

Have you been keeping up on your class quests?

uncut void
#

Thanks a lot @obsidian patio @ripe hound , I'll go for it then.. cheeers 💜💜

remote lintel
#

scathe is from a class quest

foggy marlin
#

where do i find those

remote lintel
#

under your msq tracker

#

you need to do them

foggy marlin
#

is it this

remote lintel
#

yes

foggy marlin
#

im going insane

#

ok thank u

modest igloo
#

thats a class quest

ripe hound
leaden ginkgo
#

If i uninstall the updates,will my game come back?

short jasper
#

It's thequest after that, but yeah. Class/job quests unlock abilities--especially in the 30-60 range.

remote lintel
short jasper
#

Also, when you look at Thaumaturge, a lot of your kit is not there to see yet. Once you get your job stone, and become a Black Mage, then you'll see the kit is a LOT deeper than first appears.

urban temple
#

anyone knows what quest this is

#

the last remaining aether current

remote lintel
#

did you get all the aether quests?

urban temple
#

I couldent seem to find the last quest giver aha

#

oop nvm, ill cross check on the wiki

urban temple
#

yea that one, thanks!

remote lintel
#

theyre all msq

#

oh wait

short jasper
#

It's probably For All the Nights to Come, check the CWH map for blue quests

#

Have you completed Dusk Vigil?

remote lintel
#

^

#

one of them requires a dungeon

urban temple
#

apparently not 😮

remote lintel
#

its caps sensitive

twilit arch
#

Also not the name of the quest

urban temple
#

oh crap really?

twilit arch
#

the quest you're looking for is "For All the Nights to Come"

obsidian patio
#

Look at these coordinates and see if there’s a blue quest at any of them

urban temple
#

yea ill type in every quest to see

ripe hound
#

How do you describe the window between 2 GCDs that you can insert 2 oGCDs?
Like, GCD window? oGCD window?
Between PLD’s Fast Blade and Riot Blade, is there 1 oGCD window or 2?
Or just call it “a single double weave window”?

short jasper
#

Oh then it's probably Purple FLame, then

remote lintel
#

@ripe hound its just the gcd

strange coral
#

The one you're missing is probably Protecting What's Important. That NPC gives some normal quests too, so those icons might be overriding them

remote lintel
#

because you fit 2 ogcds within 1 gcd

ripe hound
#

Like, how do I say “Ninja have a double weave window after every weapon skill, but only a single weave window after a Ninjitsu.”

#

I guess I just say this lol

remote lintel
#

the gcd on ninjutsu is faster

ripe hound
#

Yeah

urban temple
#

oh lol, found out its "Bridge over Frozen Water"

#

silly me, thanks guys

ripe hound
#

I was like: “why was I clipping? Oh Ninjitsu is 1.5s GCD”

remote lintel
#

yeah so

#

youve said it

ripe hound
#

Yay!

wispy basalt
#

are serrver close ?

urban temple
#

not in japan 😮

wispy basalt
#

it keep saying lobby connection

potent lava
#

so during the anima relic step where you put in umbrite and sand and what not
if I cancel that for another weapon, am I refunded of any used sand and umbrite at all?

upper cove
#

Hihi, does anyone have any experience chasing after this particular FATE

faint flare
#

No

upper cove
#

I've been lurking around Central coerthas for 2 days, on and off at times when I go about doing my stuff

#

Are the server time spawns in the page accurate?

#

If so then I'm pretty much gonna say good bye to it

#

Those are times which are hard for me to play

#

Tried clearing FATEs around the map to spawn it as well

solid fog
#

ff14 gearset collection for dungeon sets are still not appearing -.-

solid fog
proud willow
#

If there are Fates that spawn at a specific server time, I've never heard of that

remote lintel
#

they havent added everything

#

use ffxiv armoury collection

twilit arch
#

yeah, same. i would take that "tip/trick" with a grain of salt

solid fog
#

i dont understand japanese though

remote lintel
#

chrome translate

twilit arch
#

you don't need to understand japanese, the site links to lodestone

#

and you can easily switch lodestone from jp to na by either changing the url or using the language setting at the top

solid fog
#

i dont see any button to link

twilit arch
solid fog
#

i dont see that icon

twilit arch
#

its on the individual pieces when you scroll down after clicking on a set

leaden ginkgo
#

anyone know how fix this?

pine onyx
#

Is there a place where you can easily check raid/dungeons rewards like minion and mounts?

solid fog
#

Clicking the lodestone icon takes you to the lodestone and then you just change the lodestones language but thats doesnt do anything to the ff14 armoury site

twilit arch
#

it gives you the information on where that piece of gear drops...

#

since you can't read japanese, it means you can use armoury collect as an easy to browse website for gear sets and then be directed to lodestone to figure out where you can get the items

solid fog
#

Also since its japanese , itakes ages to load

twilit arch
#

it doesn't take long to load for me

upper cove
#

@proud willow yea honestly its the first time I've seen it as well. Granted I'm still on the free trial

twilit arch
upper cove
#

A quick search from a reddit post 3 years ago, days the FATE spawns literally once every 3-8 hours based on different accounts of people

solid fog
#

I miss the site where it showed every piece individually also had every gearset from every content you could imagine

hollow saddle
#

If I'm playing a thaumaturge, should I only cycle between fire and blizzard? If not, when do I use like thunder or scathe or addle etc?

proud willow
#

MP management on THM/BLM is different than what you might expect from a class with MP

#

you should continue using Fire until you can't cast it anymore

#

then Transpose to use Blizzard a few times until your MP is full again

lapis lagoon
#

ideally anything not fire in ice phase

proud willow
#

Thunder can be cast once during ice phase

hollow saddle
#

Ah right, thanks! That's what I do but I just never found a use for these other spells, lol.

#

I have to do this sastasha dungeon first time now, so I need to learn to play properly 🤣

leaden ginkgo
#

is hoh good for 60-70

lapis lagoon
#

addle is only needed at very high end content to reduce boss magic damage

hollow saddle
#

Okay, thanks! I tried to do sastasha myself but died like 7 times killing the first 2 groups of enemies 😄

boreal storm
#

Hoh is the deep dungeon for 60-70 so yes

twilit arch
lapis lagoon
#

my mount music volume keeps increasing and decreasing randomly. what gives?

twilit arch
#

the volume decreases whenever you stop moving

#

And when you start moving again, raises up appropriately

lapis lagoon
#

huh you're right. weird design

errant swan
#

There's a mission called "A Lone Wolf Rides Again" (I've not unlocked it yet), but online guides are saying I use a bunch of Kamuy fifes to unlock a special 6 tailed fox mount.

Do I need to have those items in the inventory, and un-used for making a mount?

remote lintel
#

no

#

you use them

#

to get the mounts

boreal storm
#

You need the mounts in your collection

errant swan
#

Oh I see!

#

Thank you both. Well I'm certainly buying at least one of the mounts with my Irregular tombstones then

void cargo
#

for collecting the bitter memories for the third tier resistance weapon, can you get them by running solo lv 60 dungeons or do they have to be synced with 4 party members?

twilit arch
#

has to be sync'd

potent lava
#

is there a way to sort of simulate being able to attack while turned away like you can in standard movement with legacy controls?

mild ermine
#

Is there a optimal way to complete The Resistance Remembers quest?

#

I'm just returning to the game after a while of not playing, and the quest admittedly seems kind of daunting ..

random girder
#

you only have to do the step once, so if you want more than 1 relic do not fear lol

#

but other than that basically just do fates while queueing for either void ark or royal city

#

those are the fastest, by a lot (like 10 mins faster than the other raids)

modest igloo
#

took me around 150 fates

#

but blue mage made it fun

fervent vale
#

Is there a recommended npc to grind out the triple triad roulette matches? Need to win 300 matches

solid fog
#

what time is 5.55 coming out

leaden ginkgo
#

which floor is the one they repeat in HOH

twilit arch
twilit arch
wispy shell
#

What does the star mean?

boreal storm
#

Those require more stats than regular 60s I’m pretty sure, it’s similar with crafters

twilit arch
#

they basically indicator higher difficulty compared to other same level craft/gathered items

leaden ginkgo
# twilit arch 21-30

the Q time rn at least to even start HOH at floor one is trash. is it hard to solo the first 20 floors ?

twilit arch
#

hmm without no aetherpool isn't not going to be a walk in the park

leaden ginkgo
#

even on ninja or blm ? or pld/gnb?

twilit arch
#

your aetherpool is effectively your gear for potd/hoh, so little to no aetherpool means you're not very strong. and going in solo means you to be cautious since a wipe means you're out and don't progress

boreal storm
#

You could make a party for hoh and tell people you need progress

twilit arch
#

can certainly trying soloing it yourself if you want, but i'd personally just wait the queue time or try and make a party finder for it

leaden ginkgo
#

I have a free account and am trying to unlock Halatai. I am on level 20 of the MSQ, but the NPCs in front of the Dungeon won't let me in. What am I doing wrong?

remote lintel
#

did you do the quest hello halatali

twilit arch
#

did you do the quest "hello halatali"?

leaden ginkgo
#

The website said that you get that from the NPC at the entrance, but it is not offered.

twilit arch
#

no

remote lintel
#

its from nedrick in vesper bay

twilit arch
#

Hello Halatali is from nedrick in western thanalan

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh, wow. That explains it. Thanks!

#

Website lied.

twilit arch
#

which website?

sage escarp
#

Did anyone face some werid issues with SE store after doing purchases for pre order?

#

I had friends who ordered the box set, then received OOS emails after though their orders were done before others

empty kestrel
#

This might be a dumb question- But, can you make Gil at the casino? Not just MGP? I went int here when i was lower level with like 3K. and when I left a few hours later i had like 17K and I dont know where it came from, lol

obsidian patio
#

You can’t

sage escarp
#

Also received confirmation emails, but when checking the SE online store, the item wasn't reflected

#

@empty kestrel you can, from challenge logs

obsidian patio
#

Did you do dungeons/roulettes while in the gold saucer? Mobs in dungeons give Gil

sage escarp
#

If u complete challenges from challenge logs, you are awarded gil

But it's from doing the log and not from the actual mini games

If u play mini games, and do a few rounds of triple triad

You can checknthe list from your challenge log

the gold saucer challenge logs don't reward gil

they reward mgp

im not too sure where I got all the money then. But, what i do know is the triple triad master's card should be 100% drop chance. Or she should stop explaining the game after you've already played it lmao

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.

Spell speed is useless for them

It’s only for caster and healer classes

for dps role is it normal being on q for 20m ?

So you'd need two tanks there to soak up damages

then DRG

then the rest

warped nest

Ninja

leaden ginkgo
#

from what i know its nin and bard

#

what else

remote lintel
#

dnc and bard are similar

modest igloo
#

DNC has less party buffs but stronger pocket buffs

warped nest
#

BRD songs has natural buff, but it is very tiny

modest igloo
#

a SAM or BLM with a pocket is nasty for DPS

warped nest
#

But BRD should have full song uptime

#

Therefore, it is essentially a permanent buff

level them all and see what vibes with ya

Personally speaking, I find DRG animation quite satisfying

i will level every job eventally but it takes time since all of them are Dps role

NIN is too

i like drg because of his mobility skills

Is there a command for dropping a flag at X,Y directly (like a reverse <flag>)? For instance, I can use /echo <pos> to link my coordinates to chat and then I can click the coordinates to drop the flag, but navigating to the chat log and selecting the message can be clunky on a controller, particularly if on the move chat is moving fast. Is there a way to pull this off in a macro?

Hi does anyone know how to get dolphin and gull minion?

I went fishing and encountered the flock and pod but didn’t get the buff toward achievement

So I’m wondering if I missed something

basically just have to keep ocean fishing whenever its up

the flock/pods appearing don't necessarily mean you'll get the buff though

The gull and dolphin buff actually has to activate

its rng ultimately

How do you know if it activates? The captain did a shoutout and I saw the animals go by so I figured that was it

you'll get a buff on your bar

pick a class you think has a cool aesthetic

you get to play as both dps and healer

Is strafing faster than running foward?

Okay. Your Steam ID is already identified with an account, so you won't be able to use Steam to grab a registration code again--it'll just give you the old code you first had and of course, you already used that. So you're going to need to use a different method.

Imo it is best to start out as a healer or tank lvl it to up pretty high so you can lvl up your other classes with the 50% exp boost

all first jobs level at the same rate since youre going to be doing msq @tribal anvil

#

how do i join an fc?

remote lintel
#

check the recruitment channel or community finder

short jasper
# slender pier and get the username back

I don't know. Honestly creating and destroying and creating and destroying accounts repeatedly might lead to problems down the pipe, so I wouldn't recommend this, especially because user names are not player-facing in game anyways.

jade quartz

!faq communityfinder

zinc orbitBOT
slender pier
#

you cant see the usernames in game?

#

@short jasper

remote lintel
#

your square enix ID is not your in game username

slender pier
#

oh

short jasper
#

Yeah, the only 'user name' that shows in game is PSN ids for PSN players.

jade quartz
#

You can ask for an invite through a community finder recruitment page or by messaging someone ingame. You can also right-click on someone ingame, view their company's profile, and then select the "apply" button there if they have applications available.

#

what pops up above my head then

viscid fossil
#

Your character name.

remote lintel
#

your characters first and last name

short jasper
slender pier
#

so i download the game from the website now

#

instead of steam

remote lintel
#

yes

short jasper
#

Feel free to delete character names (so long as they're on your account.) If you had a name you liked, if you create that character on a different world server, you'll be able to use that name again if no one else has.

also that link from before looked like the british link

Hello.
Where can I ask questions regarding Beast Quests? Light spoilers.

remote lintel
#

here

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you.

Wanted to know, why are we being asses to Kobolds during the Kobold beast quests?

jade quartz
#

What do you mean, exactly?

twilit arch
#

cos they're lazy dumbasses who would have zero motivation if we weren't kicking them in the ass

jade quartz
#

The 789th are a bunch of layabouts and we're kicking their butts into gear

slender pier
#

this game seems designed to work poorly when it comes to download and account support

jade quartz
#

And making them stand up for themselves

leaden ginkgo
#

Im now recognized, and all quests so far have been:

  1. Steal Lunch.
  2. Destroy evidence of laziness by harming/killing other kobolds.
  3. Stealing others ore.
  4. Insult other kobolds till they want to kill you, then kill them.

How is doing all this getting them motivated?

the que times for garuda ex is just unbearable is there like a tip to get in to the trial alot quicker

Seems more like im making permanent enemies instead.

open ember

Or at all

fast stream

open ember
#

Unsync it

remote lintel
#

if youre lvl 70+ then do it solo

#

fast stream
#

jade quartz
#

The other kobolds are already pretty permanent enemies.

How to do Group Instances by Yourself or Without Enough People

In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.

What is different about the rewards from savage fights as opposed to normal fights? Better gear?

remote lintel
#

savage has the the best gear at the time

#

although they drop tokens, not straight up gear (except in the last floor)

jade quartz
#

Much better gear and gear upgrade materials

tribal anvil
#

@remote lintel has all the answers. Haha

jade quartz
#

There's also a unique mount that drops from the final floor of each savage tier.

open ember
#

Except a8s

jade quartz
#

Also the raid weapon.

open ember
#

For some reason

leaden ginkgo
#

So our scion isnt working to reconcile with them, at all. Just further spread the hate. Makes no sense to me.

Why make enemies of ALL kobolds just to get along with one lazy ass group?

jade quartz
#

The Scions aren't involved.

#

And first off, it's mostly comic relief so don't take it too seriously.

leaden ginkgo
#

So its not canon? Or somewhat canon?

jade quartz
#

It's completely canon

#

Basically you're doing it because you feel bad for them.

#

And because the other kobolds who you're fighting against are horrible and abusive, plus already sworn enemies of mankind, and would happily see the 789th all die of starvation.

leaden ginkgo
#

Umm, I get the starvation bit, but where do we learn 'horrible and abusive'?

#

Or did i miss it?

jade quartz
#

Zo Ga in one of the first quests comes down and says they should all die.

short jasper
#

Basically, the kobolds number the tribes based on worth. There are 789 tribes. That should give an idea of what that beast tribe ranks.

leaden ginkgo
#

Only Zo Ga, not everyone else. The rest seem as much victim of Zo Ta + societal structure.

jade quartz
#

The 789th are a faction willing to cooperate with mankind and they're sympathetic although not without their vices like laziness--mostly due to depression and unwillingness to believe they can change their lot.

#

Zo Ga has influence and power, and many underlings.

#

He is of the 13th order, very high up in kobold society.

leaden ginkgo
#

That much I understand. What I dont get is being told to kill/ sabotage others for something everyone is a victim of: their society.

#

Zo Ga excepted

jade quartz
#

Many others think like Zo Ga.

#

Moreover, we're probably not killing anyone.

#

Though it should be noted that koboldkind is effectively at war with Limsa Lominsa, so they are enemy combatants.

leaden ginkgo
#

Because of Limsa Lominsa themselves. They have every right.

So tl:dr, near all kobolds are an ass to 789th, so we are being as ass back.

jade quartz
#

It's a centuries-old conflict which the kobolds started, it's a bit more complicated than that.

#

But yeah that tl;dr is basically what's going on

leaden ginkgo
#

Last question please?

undone bronze
#

Hi, a very specific question to ask. I'm getting married in the game, and my friend and I think it'd be funny if we fantasia'd while in the dressing room and come out looking completely different. Would anyone know if we can fantasia/log out at that point in the wedding?

remote lintel
#

it might kick you outside of the sanctum when you log back in since its an instance

#

but probably

fallen niche
#

Is the lunar bahamut triple triad card obtained from the latest dungeon?>

remote lintel
#

yes

jade quartz
leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you!

In the ARR titan quest, Yashtola said Limsa Lominsa attacked first officially, though small fights for ore happened before that.

So who drew first blood? Limsa, or the Kobolds?

short jasper
#

And both are right. And wrong.

void cargo
#

does the vendor for law's order armor only unlocks when you have done delubrum?

fallen niche
#

Cause you need delubrum coins for it

potent lava
#

whats the cheapest non crafting trade in for anima weapon crystal sand? is it thav mist+ink?

remote lintel

amber vilekin

leaden ginkgo
#

So no one knows. Got it.

Thank you so much!

jade quartz
#

Nah we know quite a bit

#

it's just a complicated situation

potent lava
#

i see thanks

fallen niche
#

Also, is the Shinryu TT card like incredibly rare or something? I've done his duty a ton unsynced before but I don't think I ever saw anyone get the card

#

Does it only drop when you've truly unlocked TT?

potent lava
#

also i didnt get a direct answer from this earlier, but how do you turn while attacking/casting with legacy controls?

jade quartz
#

The conflict between man and kobold began about 700 years ago, when refugee settlers from Aerslaent arrived on Vylbrand, a landmass which appeared completely uninhabited. They built a few villages on shore but after a few years were suddenly attacked without warning and massacred by the kobolds, who by all accounts they had not known were there.

remote lintel
#

@potent lava you cant

jade quartz
#

This began a long history of animosity.

potent lava
#

aw, dang

jade quartz
#

60 years ago, mankind and kobolds made a pact: "to the kobolds go the bounty of the land, to man goes the bounty of the sea". This wording was very vague and differences of interpretation would cause future problems

fast talon
#

sounds to me like eorzea needs lawyers

jade quartz
#

Limsa needed more land to sustain itself--land which the kobolds held sacred, but apparently weren't actually using for much of anything

#

so they built some farms

#

Limsa was also facing war for survival against the Sahagin at the time so they were pretty desperate.

#

The kobolds viewed this as a violation of the treaty and hostilities resumed

#

And have basically continued ever since.

leaden ginkgo
#

@jade quartz ooooh, okay. I see. Thank you for explaining so much!

And Sorry for asking again, but is there a site I can learn all this lore?

fast talon
#

So did the kobolds ever live outside of the mountain? Did Limsa push them into there or was that where they've always been?

jade quartz
#

They flared up especially bad when they first summoned their primal, Titan, 15 years ago.

remote lintel
#

there are sites with lore compilations but they contain a lot of spoilers as well

jade quartz
#

Neither side of the conflict is righteous, and neither is evil either.

#

They're both at fault but also both have their reasons.

fast talon
#

is this all like 1.0 stuff

jade quartz
fast talon
#

or external media like books

leaden ginkgo
#

@jade quartz Ooooooh, I see.

Thank you so much!

jade quartz
#

They gather together loads of relevant bits of dialogue, lorebook entries, dev statements etc. to do with various different lore topics, to get a more complete picture.

leaden ginkgo
#

O.O

#

Hugs the sites

#

Thank you!!!!!

remote lintel
#

yeah i usually use sounsyy's tumblr to look up lore

jade quartz
#

There are two official lorebooks which you can buy from the SE store, though you'll usually have to wait for the occasional times they come back into stock

#

Encyclopaedia Eorzea, volumes I and II
