Okay. I am still stuck on the level 63 weaver quest "The Butterfly Effect" and the only way that I can complete it is to level it all the way to 80. Members of my FC said that it would be easier. I wish there was an alternative, but i don't have a choice.

Not really no, you go to the other cities pretty early on through the main story

shrewd kiln
do you get less tomestones for doing hunts on other servers?
twilit arch
no
modest igloo
same as home world
true sandal
sooo new player, every preferred world is closed, will I suffer if I start in a normal server and want to lvl up several/all classes during the free trial?
modest igloo
nah, you'll be doing MSQ for your first class anyways
you only need one class to do most things
getting everything up to cap is gonna be a grind no matter what even with the boosts
shrewd kiln
is there anything else hunt rewards depend on?
true sandal
i know i WILL level up every class eventually in a game that lets me level every class in 1 character, so I'd rather do it on free time during the trial than later while my sub is ticking xD
modest igloo
thats fair
modest igloo
is there anything else hunt rewards depend on?
just gotta dps on DPS, heal on healers, or get aggro as a tank, thats about it
being in a party helps a LOT for getting full credit

theres no level skip for dol/doh

Oh.

yeah sounds like a massive waste
getting my PLD and NIN with skips was nice tho
just vibed in BSF to level them
rustic flare
And @modest igloo how long did it take you to get all of your crafters to 80 using the method that you described?
modest igloo
going the fast way? about a month on and off grinding
if you have the cash to burn on leves just buying stuff off the MB its pretty damn fasy

you can power level all doh to 80 in 1 day in the firmament

One more question. The Complete Edition comes with all expansions + a free 30 days sub. If I pre-order the Endwalker expansion will it also come with all expansions and a free 30 days sub?
rustic flare
And of course. I already have the firmament unlocked to take advantage of it
modest igloo
One more question. The Complete Edition comes with all expansions + a free 30 da...
nope
remote lintel
yes but you only get the expansions on endwalker launch
i mean
not the 30 day sub
just the expacs
twilit arch
expansions do not give game time
lapis sorrel
Ah, then it's better to buy the complete edition
remote lintel
you need the base game to register endwalker anyway
lapis sorrel
Makes sense lmao
modest igloo
And of course. I already have the firmament unlocked to take advantage of it
i would recommend making new recipes until 20, ishgard resto until 60, and leves/job quests to 80, using scrips to buy gear after 50
that's more or less what i did
lavish fjord
What is spiritbond?
ripe hound
Also I just got my Miner to 80, what gear should I buy?
The highest ilv gear with white scripts?
modest igloo
scrip gear is fine for gatherers
twilit arch
depends on what your aim game goal for it is. if you just want gear to cover the basics then white scrip is fine
if you want to be more serious about it, aesthete is the way to go
ripe hound
Yeah, just to begin learning the systems of endgame gathering
Also is there a really really cheap or free lv 80 set for gatherer?
Just to replace my current lv70 set lol
remote lintel
@lavish fjord a gauge that when it reaches 100% you get a free materia from
modest igloo
What is spiritbond?
its an old thing would sorta bounds the gear to you, get it to 00% and you can extract materia with a crafter for free substats you can add to the gear
not very worth tho
you can ignore it
remote lintel
you dont need a crafter to extract
modest igloo
huh. read that on an old guide i guess
lavish fjord
Dotn know what materia is either haha
twilit arch
you've never need a crafter to extract
remote lintel
materia adds substats to gear
lavish fjord
is that what goes in the green circles i see on gear sometimes?
true sandal
How does server congestion work? Will Lamia allow me to create a character in a few hours or will it be locked for days?
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
congested with a capital C means that the server accepts no new character at all until the status gets changed next patch
lavish fjord
I see, and adding materia to early level gear is kinda pointless i guess?
lavish fjord
Gotcha
open ember
Your gear is constantly changing before lv80 so you're gonna be wasting resources on materia
lavish fjord
Yeah i figured
modest igloo
Is there anywhere I can get some cheap lv 80 Dwarven Gear?
literally not worth the gil
humble epoch
are there any good sites to see all of the avail glamour pieces?
and draft a char etc
true sandal
and how do I know if any of those is congested instead of locked? would it say "congested" instead of standard or preferred?
ripe hound
literally not worth the gil
I see, what should I equip at lv 80 then?
Just keep using my lv 70 gear?
remote lintel
all gear in the game is glamour
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
@true sandal yes it will directly say congested
deft raven
and how do I know if any of those is congested instead of locked? would it say "...
red means you cant make a character. server queues take like 1 min max even with 50+ people in them
ripe hound
I'm a lv 80 miner using Lv 70 Landking now lol
modest igloo
I see, what should I equip at lv 80 then?
Just keep using my lv 70 gear?
correct, the weekly collectables and delvory quests give you white scrips to use
ripe hound
correct, the weekly collectables and delvory quests give you white scrips to use
I see, just keep using Landking gear, then replace it with Landsaint's Gear slowly?
modest igloo
as well as crystarium quests
true sandal
ah cool, so none of them are congested, i'll refresh every few min 'til I see it open. I started yesterday on Cactuar but I wanna level up several jobs and everyone says it'll be SO much faster on preferred.
modest igloo
yep thats what i did worked out fine
obsidian patio
Correct
ripe hound
yep thats what i did worked out fine
Thank you so much!
modest igloo
if you need extra stats untl the the 490 is technically BiS
since you can meld them
ripe hound
Yeah, I'm gonna grab a Saints series first, just to get familiar with how Crafting and Gathering works
modest igloo
and those are worth the gil assuming you have it lying around
yeah thats also a good idea
i pentamelded mine and i barely craft
ripe hound
Yeah, a Crafting friend recommended me to go slower, learn how crafting works first
modest igloo
just like MCH and any other class
ripe hound
I had the bad habit of leveling my Gather and Crafter to max level every expansion, buy the most expensive gear off MB, then never craft another day in life lol
Which is... yeah
Like, I have no idea how I even got my classes to max level. I'm still not familiar with out collectibles system works
lavish fjord
What does the control stat do? Have it on a gathering outfit
agile laurel
control does nothing for gatherers
twilit arch
increases quality for crafters, does nothing for gatherers
ripe hound
What does the control stat do? Have it on a gathering outfit
It's a Crafting stat, early game gather and crafter share gear
twilit arch
there are a few weird pieces of arr gear that have both crafting/gathering stats on it
lavish fjord
Ah i see thanks
ripe hound
Yeah, like really early game
Wait.. I think maybe lv 51-59 gear were also like that...?
Can't remember lol
ripe hound
I see
lavish fjord
So if im looking for animal sinew to craft some gear, do i just go out and kill random enemies or do i need to kill specific ones?

For 1.0 people to get their items back
modest igloo
ohhhhh
twilit arch
so meant people started at lv50, had all of their gil and items etc
their economy was a bit wack compared to new 2.0 servers since everyone on the new ones would be starting with a clean slate

I hope this is the right section for this, but I need character creation help. I'm familiar with RPGs, and I was looking for a race in FFXIV that's most similar to the Aasimar race in Dungeons and Dragons ,if anyone's familiar with them. I assume it's the Au Ra, but I could be wrong.

alrighty thanks alot

The "touched by divinity" aspect is... difficult for lore reasons
Dragonborn are also a close favorite of mine, so I'll go with that. Thanks. Lastly, how much patience do people have for new tanks? I've done more research than gameplay to make sure I don't ruin any runs.

hey. im new to the game, me and some friends want to play, we all downloaded the game, but by time one of us joined, the world the other made their character on was full, can we play together or do we have to make characters in synergy?

As a new player you'll be denoted by a 
icon. And people are generally very forgiving to sprouts, usually explaining stuff to them if needed. Just be polite and maybe mention when you run something for the first time
remote lintel
it means when theres too many people online then worlds will lock themselves to new characters
temporarily
warm snow
You'll be able to create characters on the same world when less people are online. So later tonight or during the week
leaden ginkgo
so whats the solution then? just wait for a bit?
agile laurel
tanking in this game is also somewhat easier than some others
remote lintel
they need to wait until off hours and try to make a character on your world
warm snow
Wait a bit if you all want to play together
But you won't really be able to fully play together til around level 15
leaden ginkgo
ok thanks
warm snow
And you can't create parties when on free trial if you're using that
oblique glacier
can i sort equipment by level?

@remote lintel Thanks alot !!

Tanking is super easy in casual content
glossy flare
Tank is arguably the easiest role
lavish tinsel
<@!111589922548260864> they need to buy game time
Thank you for the guides!
remote lintel
yeah
warm snow
Probably job quest
warm snow
Or sold/discarded
remote lintel
yolaine sells the dyeable chaos set
warm snow
Same currency as the sb hunts so 2 b ranks is an easy 200 seals
remote lintel
yes because its automatically augmented
due to the update that SE did to old gear

the HW relic weapon
warm snow
Heavensward relic weapon
Anima relics are some of the best glam options in the game
Eventually
remote lintel
thats a step in the relic
warm snow
That's the second step
glossy flare
yes, that's a step of the relic
it has mutliple steps with different appearances and animations
zinc orbitBOT

glossy flare
the glowy "ice" version of that is the 4th step btw
remote lintel
an ultimate weapon

ultimate weapons are something else entirely

What is the most complicated job in the game?
remote lintel
subjective
oblique glacier
rotation wise
warm snow
What the dog with a bunny pfp says
remote lintel
still subjective
oblique glacier
are there rng rotations?
faint flare
Longest rotation is Summoner
remote lintel
yes
remote lintel
brd and dnc work on priority instead of a strict rotation
because of rng
i wouldnt say nin is complicated
agile laurel
as i said, apm
oblique glacier
I am looking for a job that needs to press buttons all the time with lots of skills off gcd

Very high apm
oblique glacier
Very high apm
is it dps ?
remote lintel
yes
warm snow
Actions per minute
oblique glacier
ye i know what's apm xD

oblique glacier
like, do you unlock skills at the expansions?
warm snow
Straight shot looks basic af til it upgrades to regulgent arrow
wintry chasm
like, do you unlock skills at the expansions?
Well yeah
faint flare
Yes, from job quests
onyx kiln
how many wolf marks do you get from PvP again?
wintry chasm
It's part of your leveling process
remote lintel
you unlock skills by leveling up and doing job quests which are tied to expansions
@onyx kiln depends on the mode and which place you ended up in
faint flare
You need to be in that expansion story to do that job quest series
wintry chasm
^
warm snow
Every expansion increases the level cap by 10 and by stormblood and shadowbringers I mean your level 61-70 and 71-80 skills
oblique glacier
You need to be in that expansion story to do that job quest series
so would it be smarter for me to create a new character or just switch to archer?
remote lintel
just pick up archer
faint flare
Just switch
wintry chasm
^
faint flare
Alts aren't needed
remote lintel
if you start a new character you start over everything
oblique glacier

Grinding out dungeons is wayyyyyyyyy less boring than doing MSQ for the literal 17th time
also wayyyyyy faster
oblique glacier
alrightzzzzzz sorry for the bother 😄
i have only 3 dungeons unlocked i reached only to lvl 30
don't mind grinding dungeons i love it actually
warm snow
You do your hunting log and class quests to get to level 15
Then spam the highest level dungeon you can access
oblique glacier
ill just read the guide tytytytytyty
inland lagoon
Hate to bother, what does it mean if the HQ symbol is by your name in chat?
remote lintel
its a custom emote
oblique glacier
"If you don’t like using the duty finder, you can run many of these dungeons with your Grand Company squadron and just do full clears****
what is gc squadron, does it replace players?
inland lagoon
its a custom emote
Is it something you just do by accident? It appeared next to my name recently, I was confused about it.
faint flare
Squadrons is a group of npcs you unlock after ranking high enough in the grand company
oblique glacier
very sorry for so many annoying questions but google isn't very helpful
little swift
the gc squadron can't take the place of players, their ai is really bad and you need to do a small extent of micromanaging to do well with them
remote lintel
@inland lagoon do you have a screenshot
inland lagoon
Ye, hold on rq
oblique glacier
this guide is very confusing i don't understand half of it 😦
remote lintel
i mean the whole thing
inland lagoon
that's all i've got, sorry

thats a custom emote that the other player put in

recollection, its one of the shadowbringers relics
dire prawn
Oh it's a relic weapon?
twilit arch
yes
dire prawn
Is it separate from the Resistance relic weapons everyone is running around with
faint flare
Those are the resistance weapons
zinc orbitBOT
dire prawn
faint flare
Shadowbringers relics are the resistance weapons
That's the name of the series
Like how heavensward relics are the Anima series
dire prawn
I thought the Resistance weapons was the Law's Order stuff
faint flare
That's the second step/stage
twilit arch
laws order is one of the stages
dire prawn
Oh

Is there a way to gift FFXIV to a friend from the Square enix store?
Like the software and everything
viscid fossil
the game? you can pass the key to your friend
fallen niche
would the key allow them to download the software as well?
wintry chasm
For non-steam? You can just download the game key or no key
Or rather launcher yeah
sinful holly
is there some site i can use to find out what quests are in an area? like to find out if i did everything in Central Shroud?
viscid fossil
@fallen niche the game is free to download and play up to lvl60. The key is to unlock expansion and onward. It's all tie to the account. You don't buy the game as 'copy' because it is not an offline game.
viscid fossil
would the key allow them to download the software as well?

You really can't get better than just opening the map and looking I think unless you want to open up garlandtools and go through EVERY Gridania quest and find the ones that say central shroud

You're meant to use a key item on it to make it weaker

As long as you aren't using ACT (which is what they're referring to) to shit-talk people about how bad they're playing you'll be fine
People use it all the time to figure out what they're doing wrong and improve

Just use it for self-improvement, if anything

Gotta pay attention to them dialogues and I think the quest description mentions...
thx, ill retry one more time

Especially in current tier EXs or Savage raids

just don't talk about it in game at all

Yeah thats what I primarily want to use it. And shit talk my friends, but not randoms. 😄

Hello I'm quite new into the game
(Trial account for now)
Looking for someone to anwser some basic newbie questions for me in dms or here. Want to switch to ff from wow
faint flare
!faq newplayertips
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Then ask
hard night
About machinist, if i understand it correctly i need to buy the game first. Do some quests to unlock it ... then create it right?
faint flare
It's available in the trial
hard night
Is it?
faint flare
But it does require story progress
hard night
Oh i see
faint flare
Heavensward is in the trial now
hard night
Which class right now would u say is the best for leveling and story progression. I tried archer but skills and stuff look rly boring
boreal storm
Whichever one you like most
hard night
Its rly hard to decide because i come from wow with completely different class system
honest frigate
whats a good way to earn gil? Im trying to level up alchemist and im struggling lol
faint flare
whats a good way to earn gil? Im trying to level up alchemist and im struggling ...
Sell stuff you make on the market board
hard night
I was thinking between thaumaturg and arcanist
But idk which one focuses more on casting spells
frigid path
Take advantage of market boarding pricing
hard night
And staying away from trouble
hard night
So what is the core difference?
frigid path
The more gil you have, The more freedom to take advantage of it
honest frigate
Sell stuff you make on the market board
is there any way to find out what are good things to craft to sell? or is it a "figure it out" lmao
frigid path
Look at the mats that you have and look what they can be created into
faint flare
Well summoner dots are more a formality
frigid path
Then look at the MB and look at the average item pricing
faint flare
But you work to keep them up
hard night
Got ya
honest frigate
Well summoner dots are more a formality
lmao thats a good way to put it
modest igloo
is there any way to find out what are good things to craft to sell? or is it a "...
its a figure it out kinda thing
faint flare
And reapply every 30s
honest frigate
its a figure it out kinda thing
i appreciate! thanks
frigid path
A simple item to make that i'm going to assume can be decently profitable on other servers would be Bronze Alembics which i've been selling for 20k
faint flare
They're more focused on their pets and trances
hard night
Last question for now
faint flare
Black mage want to plant their feet and spam explosions
modest igloo
i appreciate! thanks
plus, if you find a good market, you dont have to say anything to anyone else hahaha
hard night
What is the difference between light and chaos servers
potent lava
is rdm scatter a useless spell?
I cant find a reason to use unless I want that extra 20 potency
is it worth it to dualcast when its impact later?
faint flare
Nonr
hard night
So just name?
honest frigate
plus, if you find a good market, you dont have to say anything to anyone else ha...
lmfao, good to know XD

Scatter upgrades to impact

faint flare
So just name?
Yes...same physical location as each other

@faint flare sounds like black mage will be better for me
faint flare
Do note if you're in fucking Africa as a Caster/range dps, healers are allowed to let you die
hard night
No I'm Eu
modest igloo
i prefer SMN to BLM but thats just peferance
potent lava
yeah but verthunder/aero II are a thing right?
is it worth using scatter/impact when you have those
faint flare
Not the place, but as in half way across the fucking arena
modest igloo
try both and see how it rolls for ya @hard night
faint flare
yeah but verthunder/aero II are a thing right?
is it worth using scatter/impact ...
Scatter/impact is your dualcast aoe spell, thunder/aero are your short for aoe
modest igloo
ye
hard night
Yeah definitely will
faint flare
And continue where you left off
hard night
I rly like the machinist style
modest igloo
trial is free forever
modest igloo
I rly like the machinist style
and a fuckin MECH!
faint flare
And bob
primal ermine
Gets a robot which is sweet
modest igloo
i love MCH
faint flare
It's a ranged dps
faint flare
Every job has a burst phase
hard night
@faint flare by burst i more or less refer to pvp
faint flare
Pvp is COMPLETELY different
hard night
Where some classes can burst you in a instance
faint flare
Than pve
modest igloo
pvp and pve are different
primal ermine
The golden rule for combat is always cast
faint flare
They're basically two different games
modest igloo
pvp is... there
faint flare
Skills work far differently in pvp and you have a different kit
hard night
No worries
sand grove
Is there a good way to save/share screenshots as a console player?
modest igloo
pvp and pve being different is good since balance is separate
oh yeah its great for leveling
hard night
Yeah because whole point of mmo rpg
Is for players to get fun toys
To use on enemies
Its not fun when u are vs your friend
Who has better toys than you
faint flare
Pvp is equalised across the board
hard night
@modest igloo was more or less referring the skills
faint flare
It's more focus on skill
modest igloo
oh i guess
hard night
With certain classes
modest igloo
i never played WoW
faint flare
Healers are a pain in the ass to kill in pvp without proper burst
modest igloo
that game sounds pretty bad
hard night
@modest igloo its classic version
modest igloo
no wonder less people are playing it
hard night
Basically 2004 old school
Back when 50s stunlock in pvp
Was considered "part of the game"
modest igloo
at any rate, getting more #not-ffxiv-discussion here
modest igloo
yeah mogstation
faint flare
Yeah but not accessible in game
hard night
Can u mog your gear normally?
faint flare
Just has primarily cosmetics
hard night
Aka if i find a cool looking sword that is useless
modest igloo
yep
hard night
Can i apply its looks to my meta sword
hard night
I see
modest igloo
a lot of old raids get ran for the cool equipment
faint flare
No
hard night
Or does it scale
faint flare
Even lv50 raids unsync takes a few hits to kill
hard night
Got ya
faint flare
Like soloing Coils takes time
modest igloo
o12s from last expansion is kinda hard for new players
faint flare
Even at 80
modest igloo
no
faint flare
Story is linear
hard night
Thank god
modest igloo
dlc is linear
faint flare
And mandatory
faint flare
If you want to access the expansions you do the story t9 get there
hard night
@faint flare i meant
If the new dlc comes out
Do all the gear suddenly becomes useless
Like in wow?
elder veldt
So I heard that you can place striking dummies in explorer mode, can you choose what level they are or is it based on the level of the dungeon
remote lintel
@elder veldt the level doesnt matter
faint flare
Into levelling
modest igloo
Do all the gear suddenly becomes useless
not useless, BiS gear is used to prog early savage
hard night
And dlc is paid
faint flare
Yes
hard night
Got ya
faint flare
Always 40$
modest igloo
so like e9 an e10 could be done in old raid gear until they got new crafted stuff
faint flare
No more no less, outside of sales
hard night
Cheeky wankers
modest igloo
still less tahn pokemon snap
hard night
So.. how far our we into "current dlc"
modest igloo
way more content
faint flare
At the very end
remote lintel
the current is 95% done
modest igloo
we are at the end of 5.0
faint flare
1 content patch
modest igloo
tuesday is the last big update til 6.0
hard night
So it would be unwise for me to buy the game now
faint flare
Expansion is November
remote lintel
i mean unless you want to wait 6 months for the next expansion
modest igloo
theres a ton of time to catch up
spiral inlet
is fighting at the southern front
modest igloo
im progging the current tier
spiral inlet
better to do
modest igloo
and it came out 6 months ago
spiral inlet
than doing the roulette/dungeons
