Then you.have access to Ironworks in mor Dhona /main cities sundry splendors with poetics if you haven't got it already

[wild swan]

Hello I have a question

If I buy the Complete edition of FFXIV will I be able to keep my trial character?

[twilit arch]

yes

[wild swan]

Okay thank you

[bitter patrol]

Oh your talking about ironworks, shire and Scavean?

[faint flare]

Yes

[bitter patrol]

Where do I get them from, and I know they all cost Allagan of poetics so how do I get those too

[dusky forum]

should i keep on doing the the aurum vale dunegon until lv50 or lv49?

[scarlet arrow]

if you really want to you can buy gear from npc vendors to keep your gear score up but between job quests and dungeon drops (and you get one guaranteed drop for leveling dungeons) you should be fine

[twilit arch]

50 is either mor dhona, or from the sundry vendors in the 3 starting cities. 60 is idyllshire or ishgard. 70 is in rhaglrs' or kugane

the sundry vendors in the cities are indicated by blue bags

[boreal storm]

You have to beat certain msq for the sundry vendors to show up, in their respective areas

[scarlet arrow]

if you're at the stage where the next MSQ quest is level 50 but you're only level 47-ish, that and/or Dzamael Darkhold

[bitter patrol]

Ok I took a screen shot

[dusky forum]

im lv49 rn and the next question i should be lv49

[scarlet arrow]

then do MSQ until you can't

[dusky forum]

gotchu

[scarlet arrow]

and don't forget to do your job quest at level 50, you'll get your last piece of lvl 50 job gear and a full set of ilvl 90 gear to replace it with immediately

[dusky forum]

also would the game tell me that im doing heavensward msq?

[crystal bluff]

Yes

[scarlet arrow]

you will definitely know when you've reached Heavensward

[boreal storm]

You’ll know

[dusky forum]

gotchu

wait hold up so i get my lv50 gear and then i automatically get the lv90 gear when endwalker comes out?

[scarlet arrow]

not job level 90

item level 90

[dusky forum]

ohh ok

[bitter patrol]

Hahaha

[scarlet arrow]

item levels 50-130 are all level 50 gear

[dusky forum]

would samurai get the gear right away?

[boreal storm]

Not accessories

But yes

[pure zenith]

For red mage and samurai the starting quests give you a set of gear

[dusky forum]

okok

[scarlet arrow]

you get a set of ilvl 125 left side gear

or 115

[dusky forum]

is there a drippy smaurai gear that i can buy? xd

[scarlet arrow]

drippy?

[dusky forum]

looks nice

[crystal bluff]

Depends on personal preference

[boreal storm]

I’m sure there’s stylish Sam gear

[pure zenith]

Honestly the set you get to start with for samurai looks nice

[scarlet arrow]

[remote lintel]

there arent a lot of fashion choices at low level

[boreal storm]

Whether you personally like it is another thing

[solid fog]

"Red Moon Parasol Quest The Rising 2021" how do i get this ?

[boreal storm]

The rising hasn’t happened yet

But when it does

[dusky forum]

are there cosmetics? for character would overlap the looks?

like how bdo does it

[remote lintel]

anything you can equip can be used for fashion

[modest igloo]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

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.

[dusky forum]

ok last question is gilgamesh aether?

[remote lintel]

yes

[bitter patrol]

ARR thru Stormblood is 585 quest with the updates

[modest igloo]

you mean ShB?

[bitter patrol]

Do I have to do the updated missions before continuing the story too?

No shadowbringer isn’t updated with the quest general for some reason

[boreal storm]

All msq is mandatory to reach later things

[bitter patrol]

I think it’s like 100 quest so pushing almost 700

[patent fog]

is thre a way to fix the wierd fps cap without using msi afterburner?

[bitter patrol]

2.1-2.5 too?

Etc...

[patent fog]

it does cap it it just caps it wrong

[remote lintel]

those are patch quests

theyre part of the msq

[bitter patrol]

[magic oyster]

I keep getting "of the X parties currently recruiting, all match your search conditions" when im not looking for any, can i turn that off?

[magic oyster]

how do i get to log filters xd

[remote lintel]

click the chat tab you want

[leaden ginkgo]

Heyo

How many of these 8 man raids should I play for all the copies

Regarding the relic

[dusky forum]

is there any other way to change my name other then spend 10 dollars😭

[remote lintel]

no

[dusky forum]

i dont want to put 10 dollars for a name change

:/

[heavy wadi]

Have to pay for a name change.

[leaden ginkgo]

Then don’t

[heavy wadi]

^

[dusky forum]

i dont like my name lmfao

[modest igloo]

I'd first try to get to 25 in Zadnor, then from there finish the relic. double dip xp and items

[sweet leaf]

that's like saying I don't want a blue car but i don't wanna pay to get a new paintjob

[modest igloo]

eh, some people make a funny name and then play HW

happened to me

[silver lintel]

forgot to do a separate receipt for the butterfinger stuff, will it still work fine?

[bitter patrol]

What do you put for the character data for the I am verify

Server, first, last name?

[remote lintel]

yes

[bitter patrol]

Ok

[remote lintel]

thats what it says in the instructions

[bitter patrol]

Did it auto rotate as well

Update

Auto correct

[remote lintel]

wym

[bitter patrol]

When I lv up did the system update it automatically

[remote lintel]

yes its tied to the lodestone

[boreal storm]

It goes through lodestone so yes

[bitter patrol]

Ok kool

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it better to spam DR till level 25?

[heavy wadi]

god no

just level thru zadnor skirmishes/CEs

so you can get components for the new relic step

[modest igloo]

unless you're on the repeatable step for your relic then no @leaden ginkgo

[heavy wadi]

the mettle gains from zadnor skirmishes/CEs is absolutely insane so it would be immensely slower to farm mettle through any other means

[sonic fractal]

do you still get raw emotions when running daladria on a different class?

[heavy wadi]

yes

[sonic fractal]

nice thanks

[heavy wadi]

doesn't matter what class you're playing for any of the relic steps

[leaden ginkgo]

UGH man i want a new outfit lol.. need to get out of these ARR black mage robes lol

#general-discussion

[upper pendant]

How do I make it so it shows how long an instance took? Like Syrcus Tower: 10:12

[manic flare]

actually what does that message even mean

[boreal storm]

Got answered already

[leaden ginkgo]

lol sorry..

[sonic fractal]

I see coz I thought you have to use the class that accepted the quest... This makes it easier to grind xp for my alts while doing daladria

[magic light]

i can lost reflect this, right?

[mental oracle]

What are the top 3 hardest jobs?

[modest igloo]

depends on what you mean by hard

[pure zenith]

depends on who you ask

[remote lintel]

its subjective

[boreal storm]

Very subjective

[mental oracle]

in your opinions then

[pure zenith]

people say ninja is hard because of mudras, and then other people realize mudras are fairly easy to memorize

[remote lintel]

summoner because i just dont understand it

[manic flare]

i find summoner, black mage, and monk to be hard

[ripe hound]

SMN I guess, no idea how it functions

[bitter patrol]

@remote lintel I keep putting the code they gave me for my lodestone but it keeps saying that it’s not correct

Do I put kupo- code

Or just the code

[pure zenith]

smn is just dots and then burst phases galore

[remote lintel]

just type !iam world firstname lastname

[manic flare]

basically you try to get 4 stacks of ruin IVs before you go into the bahamut phase, then weave as much egi-assults then do the phoenix phase, then rinse and repeat

[modest igloo]

BLM for inflexibility, MNK for positionals, DRK for all the damn double weaving

[bitter patrol]

I already did that

I’m at the code part to verify

[remote lintel]

@manic flare yes but you have to do each skill in a specific order

[scarlet arrow]

if you don't find moving to hit positionals difficult then none of the melee jobs will seem hard to you

[manic flare]

oh yea that's jsut a very basic gist of it

[pure zenith]

you dont need to

[remote lintel]

@bitter patrol did you put the code into your character description on your lodestone profile?

[bitter patrol]

Yes I did it says it’s not correct

[cunning moon]

If i make a marauder and a friend makes a conjurer can we level together or do the quests lead us other ways entirely?

[fading stream]

Am I able to save custom graphics settings?

[remote lintel]

type !whoami in #kupo-bot-spam @bitter patrol

[fading stream]

It seems they disappear after I click a preset.

[pure zenith]

youll be stuck in your home city until about level 15 main story quest

but then the story becomes basically the same

[cunning moon]

So we just quest to about level 15 alone and than we can do main quest together?

then*

[pure zenith]

nono you do the main story quest that belongs to level 15 that has you unlock the other cities

[magic light]

didn't work, did learn that people just lost death it

[pure zenith]

you basically just do story quest till you can meet up

[upper pendant]

How do I make it so it shows how long an instance took in chat? Like Syrcus Tower: 10:12

[modest igloo]

well MSQ is solo outside of dungeons so even when you group up you'd still be doing your thing solo

[twilit arch]

its only shown when you unsync a dungeon

[cunning moon]

Aight, cheers for answering. Again!

[manic flare]

you dont get tomestones if you do alliance raids unsynced right?

for the event

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

am I faster on my chocobo mount, or sprint with ninja passive?

[manic flare]

i know alliance raids aren't efficient for the tomestone events, but if you had to do them, which one is best/most efficient for event tomestones?

[faint flare]

Mount

[slate arrow]

Chocobo

[faint flare]

Sprint overwrites all movement skills

[slate arrow]

Movement speed is not additive

[faint flare]

So you're not faster on Ninja with sprint than other jobs

[boreal storm]

Sprint is only there for when you can’t use mount

[slate arrow]

Hades extreme

Compared to all the other alliance raids, Hades is just outright better

[sweet pasture]

Does anyone happen to know if Mateus transfers are available on early weekday mornings? I remember many years ago rolling on congested servers was possible if enough people were logged out.

[manic flare]

i dont have access to that and i dont have blue

[slate arrow]

You can't bring BLU into Hades anyways it's 80 content

You're the one kneecapping yourself

[fading stream]

What does this Icon mean? The blue + means unlockable, but how could a quest that unlocks content be repeatable?

[faint flare]

Repeatable

[wind osprey]

what do materia do you use for warrior gear i'm told you avoid direct hit because of two abilities that guarentee them but wouldn't that also make crit worthless?

[slate arrow]

Crit boosts both rate and damage

[boreal storm]

That’s a Repeatable quest

[faint flare]

Crit increases rate AND damage

[slate arrow]

Direct is only rate

[faint flare]

Which is why it's so strong

[fading stream]

@boreal stormI get that it's repeatable, but why not just be a repeatable side quest icon or something? Why is it a + icon if the nature of that type of quest means that I'll unlock a new duty or class or something

[wind osprey]

also is there any way to increase the amount of melding slots on gear if not why is there upwards of 400 point available if you can never even get close to reaching it

[faint flare]

Cause you can actually cap 1 stat

[modest igloo]

i think its for the ARR relic weapon, thats why

[faint flare]

One of the two substats on gear is near the stat cap while the other stat is far from it

Only crafted gear like exarchic can have more materia than slots shown

[sage mirage]

When going from the free trial to the full game, do I need to redownload the launcher? I don't see a place to use my activation key

[faint flare]

!faq mogstation

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Mog Station

FFXIV Mog Station link

[faint flare]

Codes go in here

[pure zenith]

nah, when you log in to the launcher it just auto updates itself

[sage mirage]

I logged in and it doesn't seem like anything different happened

I'll see if my in-game restrictions are lifted

[clever moat]

hey may i know the english speaking servers for japanese data centres

[pure zenith]

did you put the code in on mogstation

[strange coral]

Tonberry and Kujata

[clever moat]

thanks, any difference?

[vernal bramble]

u can't mail ppl from other worlds?

[strange coral]

Not that I know of. I don't play on them though.

[sage mirage]

Alright, looks like the account upgrade worked

now I just gotta sit through the download

[fading helm]

i didnt know dps wait times were this bad oml

[sage mirage]

Yeah, as soon as I unlocked Scholar and switched to healer my wait times became nonexistant

[sweet leaf]

so i know that synced duties and trials give 100% blu learn rate, but what is the rate on unsynced? like if i did Titan Hard with only 1 friend who's level 80

[modest igloo]

the harder the fight, the lower the chance

it took me 18 tries for Shiva EX spell

[stable plaza]

So I just bought the game, got 3 months of subscription, but I can't find/message my friend? We are both on Aether, but he's on a different world

[scarlet arrow]

you can world visit from a major city aetheryte and then invite your friend to a cross-world linkshell

[stable plaza]

Yea, but I should be able to friend search or tell him right?

[sage mirage]

If you want to be in the same Free Company though, you'll need to make a new character in his world, or vice versa

[scarlet arrow]

if you're on the same world (even temporarily)

[faint flare]

You immediately start in a solo instance so progress slightly to be put into the normal world

And yeah world visit

[remote lintel]

you both need to be on the same world and not in an instance for player search

[stable plaza]

Yea I was in a normal world, saw others running around and doing fates

[magic light]

lost reflect doesnt reflect ally spells right?

like healing?...

[solid fog]

"Field Notes on Lyon ★★★★★ CE - Beast of Man (1x1)" What does the 1x1 mean ? 1v1 ?

[faint flare]

Yes

His notes can also drop in Castrum

[solid fog]

Then its a typo cuz in the reddit post the 1v1 are written as "(1v1)"

[faint flare]

They're just guaranteed in the duel

[scarlet hinge]

is scathe any good for blm?

[remote lintel]

its very very niche

[scarlet hinge]

it seems garbage

[remote lintel]

its borderline garbage

[junior tide]

Is there a guide or smth on how to grind 80lvl relic in the least painful way?

[faint flare]

It's the extreme last resort

[opaque fiber]

Is there a difference if I choose to do turn ins to Zhloe or another npc?

[faint flare]

Yes

Higher level npcs give more rewards

[modest igloo]

not quite yet, give us a bit of time and we'll find some stuff

[opaque fiber]

Which one are the best as lvl 70 then?

[junior tide]

Uh I dont mean the current one, but the previous steps

Memories of the dying and 15 DR runs that is

[faint flare]

Charlemont and ehil tou

[modest igloo]

3 CLL runs and Potd with a group respectively

[remote lintel]

@junior tide https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Augmented_Resistance_Weapons/Quest

[junior tide]

Thanks a lot!

[opaque fiber]

Thanks, and since I already did mnaago, which one of this is better?

[faint flare]

Mnaago is lv60 ish

[opaque fiber]

Hmm my armorer is level 70 with iLvl 190, not the best

[crystal ingot]

Is the "aetherial sealant" you can purchase from Hismena the same as a timeworn artifact that you get from clearing Delubrum?

[faint flare]

No

It's for readjusting your custom stats

[cunning moon]

Can i, as a level 50 character, run along my new friend in the main quest and he will level just fine or will he get a xp penalty?

[solid fog]

At what level can you enter potd?

[faint flare]

They won't get overworld xp

[faint flare]

1

[cunning moon]

What does overworld xp mean exactly?

[faint flare]

Xp from mob kills

[cunning moon]

Will this make a significant difference and he will turn out underleveled?

[faint flare]

Not that much

[cunning moon]

Alright, we'll try. thanks

[dusky forum]

where do i buy the name changer?

[scarlet arrow]

be aware that you'll be forced to ungroup whenever there's a solo instance for the MSQ

[pure zenith]

There’s also the option to party up meet up disband party and just still play together without penalties in over world

[cunning moon]

oh good idea

[twilit arch]

on the mogstation, under additional services

[spark jacinth]

Currently have free trial on pc. Can I download the free trial on PS4 and login to use the same free trial character I created on pc?

[twilit arch]

no

No. Trial is 1 device

Hello Guys i have a problem i need help. Let me explain: I bought the collector's pack via my PS4 until then nothing abnormal then I connect via the games so with my code and everything and everything and I therefore link the pack purchased to my FF14 account the problem is that since I linked this pack to my account is that when I connect it gives me the following message: the FF14 account has not yet been registered and they tell me to go to the Mog Station and select a account service except that this account is already linked and that it is already selected and currently its done 1-2 hours that I can not solve this problem.

[magic light]

war's gapcloser's a 10 second cd

[faint flare]

Yes

It's under 18s

[magic light]

it resets each 18 seconds of using it?

[faint flare]

Yes

[magic light]

oh

[faint flare]

Other tanks cant really fully stack it without resetting Cooldowns via font of skill

[wise wedge]

So just a question , what are the most popular servers ? preferably on primal , i'd like to get into activities around the world and was wondering where to start

[orchid python]

where and how to get the book for CUL with smoked chicken on it

[faint flare]

Any, they're evenly populated

And stuff is cross server

[wise wedge]

oh are they ? i heard gilgamesh is most populated

[faint flare]

That's old

[shrewd cradle]

there's no way to transfer free trial from steam to mog right?

[faint flare]

Everything except guilds and housing is cross server within the data centre

[mild ermine]

Can someone explain to me how Feast rewards work? The ranking, and how to check what the current rewards are.

[twilit arch]

we're currently in a preseason so there's no rewards right now

but basically when a current season is active, when you play ranked when you win you get points to increase your rating, losing decreases them

and however many points you end at the end of a season decides your rank

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/ranking/thefeast/ usually has links to the rewards

[summer iris]

Can someone help with this I've downloaded final fantasy and this keeps popping up I deleted my acounnt thinking it's gonna start fresh but it's still there?

[leaden ginkgo]

when does the next feast season start because i wanna get into it

and also if i’m at floor 100 of potd, how hard will it be to find others who also are on floor 100?

[dusky forum]

ok so i bought the name changer how do i apply it?

[wispy shell]

I didn't get one of these from a fate in yanxia?

[faint flare]

Rng

[wispy shell]

It's not even guarantee drops for these memories...?

[faint flare]

Nope

[twilit arch]

you'll be prompted to change name when you try to log into the character

[dusky forum]

it didnt do it

[leaden ginkgo]

after green mems what’s next

[exotic flume]

What should i do now that i have max scrolls from the crystal tower and the like? I don't remember the name and i can't seem to find them on the inventory.

[jovial tide]

[umbral nest]

ty

[exotic flume]

Yes, i think

[random girder]

you can buy ironworks gear with those at auriana in mor dhona

best gear for lv50

[modest igloo]

its about a 20% drop, took me about 100 fates

[modest igloo]

that would be the 15 loathsome memories, which drop 1 from crystal tower raids and 5 from Castrum Lacus Latori

[random girder]

and rarely 1 from critical engagements

[civic spoke]

is it quicker to farm fates to get memories or to do bozja?

[random girder]

basically cluster farming and doing engagements until cll pops is fastest for loathsome

[modest igloo]

depends on the step

[civic spoke]

because i'm barely getting anything from bozja events

[random girder]

depends which step

[faint flare]

Bojza with a group

[civic spoke]

i'm just on the second step

[faint flare]

You don't do fates in bojza

For relic

You farm mobs

[civic spoke]

oh...

i thought i had to do the ces and other things

[modest igloo]

some steps are fates, some are mobs

[faint flare]

The first 4 memories drop from mobs

[leaden ginkgo]

is doing routl trials is the fastest farm potiocs

[solid fog]

Can you do floor 100+ as level 1 ?

[civic spoke]

is the drop rate high?

[modest igloo]

depends on the step

[faint flare]

Spread out around the map, preferably packs of 2 and aoe farm

[wispy shell]

So would doing the raids be better? How much do those give?

[modest igloo]

1 per clear

pick your poisen

[fresh torrent]

any idea why this macro isn't working?
/targetenemy
/ac "Fire"
/wait 2.5

[random girder]

dont use macros

for combat

[faint flare]

Because combat macros are shit

Stop that

[pseudo pulsar]

For a new player he wants to takes his time (leveling an alt when i want, no PL by others ect) and then rush MSQ if i want to do endgame content.
Is it better to up like some crafting job and then wait lvl max for others, or try to up as much crafting job as i can before getting bored ?

[random girder]

are you baiting pls stop

[modest igloo]

crafting is best done at endgame, since thats when it opens up the most imo

[faint flare]

At least after 3.3 for ishgard restoration

[random girder]

^ leveling crafting without ishgard restoration is kinda pain

[fresh torrent]

I just need it for solo stuff

[pseudo pulsar]

Ok, i was leveling goldsmith, but maybe i should wait then

[random girder]

like what
solo stuff is so braindead easy especially from 1-50 there is n oreason to do that

[faint flare]

If you want to afk then afk

[pseudo pulsar]

What is "ishgard restoration" ?

[fresh torrent]

saving time, what else xD

[modest igloo]

crafting area

[random girder]

macros make things take more time

!faq macros

[zinc orbit]

Why are lines repeated in macros?

Macros execute one line for each frame in-game. This means that the repeated lines in macros are executed over the course of 12~15 frames, making them more reliable than the single-line macros which often require mashing the button in order to work.

[random girder]

what is it again

[modest igloo]

used to power level and had its own ranking system

[random girder]

!faq battlemacro

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named battlemacro exists, Kupo!

[faint flare]

!faq macrogcd

[zinc orbit]

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[random girder]

yes that one

[fresh torrent]

lol I'm lvl 10 couldnt care less about efficiency xD

[random girder]

you just said you wanted to save time by using macros

it saves time to not use them

[pseudo pulsar]

And with ishgard restauration, i'll still have the little story of crafting jobs ? Or it will just be fast ?

[fresh torrent]

no it saves me from fighting mobs

[random girder]

job quests open up every few levels regardless

[random girder]

you can just.. run from them..

[civic spoke]

i've been farming a few mobs, but i haven't gotten any memories, only fragrments

[pure zenith]

Honestly just don’t it’s not worth the effort to macro

[fresh torrent]

I'm not playing this 10 year old game like a pleb

when theres macros

[modest igloo]

which. step. are. you. on

[random girder]

??

ok youre trolling

disregard

[civic spoke]

for want of a memory

[fresh torrent]

no I'm serious

[modest igloo]

the 20/20/20 step?

[civic spoke]

yeah

[faint flare]

Macros are purposely designed so you CANT afk and bot

[fresh torrent]

I just want a macro that casts 5 spells in succession

[modest igloo]

HW fates drop the memory 100% of the time

[pure zenith]

Unwant it, you’ll get through stuff faster that way

[leaden ginkgo]

please short

[fresh torrent]

no

I need to do other stuff

[civic spoke]

running certain dungeons after roulettes. some level 50, 70, and I think 80 dungeosn reward 100 poetics per run

[agile laurel]

if you're trying to bot the game then just stop playing. why bother.

[leaden ginkgo]

dungeon takes a lot of time

[civic spoke]

i guess i'll do that, but then i'll have to farm more bozja events to get to rank 10

[leaden ginkgo]

trials takes 10m for 60

[civic spoke]

unless you're a healer lol

[fresh torrent]

cuz I'm short on time obviously, you guys are funny

but useless

[modest igloo]

damn i hoped they buffed BSF fates, i guess not

[random girder]

if you dont have the time to press 1 button 5 times then why play the game in the first place

[agile laurel]

saves you literally no time lmao. bye felicia

[random girder]

play a game that is afkable

[leaden ginkgo]

😄

[opaque fiber]

Is exarchic gear an expert recipe?

[whole vale]

guys, do quests get better throughout the recent expansions? I'm almost finishing the quests after you kill the Ultima weapon and almost getting into Heavensward, and it feels pretty slow with all the cut scenes

[agile laurel]

tbh, considering you've just done praetorium, you're probably on cutscene burnout. that shit sucks

[modest igloo]

yes. oh my god yes

[fresh torrent]

I macro every game you plebs aint stopping me

[modest igloo]

post ARR is a bit of a slog

[random girder]

ok have fun then

[modest igloo]

but trust us

it gets better

[agile laurel]

plus, basically nobody will call ARR 'particularly good'

[pure zenith]

If you wanna gimp yourself go ahead, by the time your done setting it up you could have prolly hit the end of a storyline or 2

[pseudo pulsar]

I'm watching "ishgard restauration", and it seems that's it's a way to powerleveling all crafting jobs. So that makes you lvl 80 faster, but you still need to do the quests (brings 100 item X) ect ?

[little swift]

excuse me what is going on?

[fresh torrent]

nah man this game isnt fun enough to play it manually

[random girder]

post praetorium is probably the most chill portion of the game, just had the big climax so it needs to slow down a bit for a little

[strange coral]

Yes, some of the class quests unlock valuable actions

[random girder]

you are level 10

[opaque fiber]

Anyone knows?

[little swift]

no its master book 8

[agile laurel]

bait. ignore them

[opaque fiber]

Oh master recipe, my bad

ty

Umm I need the master book for each DoH?

[pseudo pulsar]

@strange coral But what's the point of using Ishgard ?
I'm on a preferred server, when i finish a crafting quest, i unlock the next one

[little swift]

if you want to macro the gameplay, you are free to, but know that it doesn't work well when you do thatand you're actively hindering yourself and people you will be playing with

[exotic flume]

So, it's only 2.0 content, right?

[stuck ingot]

hey, I bought a trackball mouse
I can't seem to mimic the ability a normal mouse has when you click left and right click and are able to move mouse to change direction running
what is pressed or done here?

[little swift]

yes you will need the masterbooks for each crafter

[opaque fiber]

Wow that sucks oof

1.2k yellow scrips each

[modest igloo]

2.0-2.56 content

[little swift]

yes its a big investment over time

[exotic flume]

Meant 2.x, my bad

[little swift]

also

[opaque fiber]

And I thought I'll be able to craft it myself

lol

[modest igloo]

when it takes 37 mil to level from 79-80...

[strange coral]

It doesn't stay like that when you start needing millions of exp to level

[little swift]

!mute 523224916729004066 1h

[zinc orbit]

Success!

@fresh torrent has been muted by @little swift for 1 hour!

[little swift]

please do not be rude to the people on this discord for trying to help you

refusing to take advice is fine

but not egging on and baiting them

thank you

[random girder]

for now, but there is 60 and 70 gear to get with poetics as well. when endwalker drops current bis (augmented cryptlurker) will become poetics as well

[pseudo pulsar]

Oh then it can be good to level up all crafting jobs till ishgard ? And then use ishgard when i need to farm them too much ?

[random girder]

if you like crafting, you can do it now, but ishgard restoration is by far the fastest method to level them

[modest igloo]

not really, its even easier to powerlevel IN ishgard resto

1-20 is super easy to do, but after 50 the game expects you to be in 3.0 MSQ

i did 1-20 with just making random stuff, 20-60 in ishgard, and 60-80 doing levequests

[random girder]

^ same here

still not done with alc though, gear is expensive

[modest igloo]

the mats for my leves were ultra cheap on Bryn, but that's me still spending 5 mil on making out crafters

then 4.5 mil on pentamelding

dont powerlevel without ishgard kids

[opaque fiber]

If I intend to get all master book 8 for all DoH, is it worth trying to grind the yellow scrips by doing collectible turn in? Or just passive grind with weekly custom deliveries?

[pseudo pulsar]

Crafting jobs are fun, but it's a lot of grinding. And doing this for all jobs will maybe bored me

It's maybe better to wait ishgard then

[twilit arch]

doesn't really matter. if you are ok with getting them a bit slowly then just doing it with weekly custom deliveries is fine

[little swift]

depends on how fast you want all the books. don't forget about the crystarium deliveries as well as a decent 1-time supply of scrips

i was able to get most of teh books i wanted that way

[stuck ingot]

what do I need to bind to my mouse to be able to move forward when it doesn't do it by default

I thought it was left/right combined and it isn't

neither is it pressing W and moving cursor

[opaque fiber]

I'm still mid Shb MSQ, I have no clue what's the thing you just said sorry. My plan is to get all crafters & gatherers to 80 after I finish the MSQ and unlock all master 8 books asap for the gear

[twilit arch]

the crystalline mean quests in the crystarium are basically like your 70-80 job quests

for crafting/gathering

[little swift]

yes soif you go to the crystalline mean in the crystarium you can do whats essentially the role quests for crafters/gatherers

[modest igloo]

that would prolly cost more than buying exarchic outright @opaque fiber

[twilit arch]

they give extremely good exp as well as yellow scrips

[opaque fiber]

Any chance they are this?

I just picked up 2 near the leves

[twilit arch]

yes

[opaque fiber]

Alrighty time to get this scrips

[little swift]

are you sure you haven't turned on controller mode

[stuck ingot]

yes

[little swift]

and direct chat isn't on?

[opaque fiber]

Wait how many scrips are those?

[stuck ingot]

yes

[little swift]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Crystarium_Deliveries#Facets

[rigid dove]

Whats the potd for lvl 60-70? And is it worth it for leveling purposes?

[opaque fiber]

ty

[little swift]

bolded/in brackets are the reward you get turning in HQ

[modest igloo]

white scrips dont give good lvl 80 crafting gear, its more of a stepping stone set

[little swift]

so keep in mind this is 3.1k per facet

so 9.3k crafter 6.2k gatherer

[tender hull]

ik there's leveling guides for levelling up alts, but can anyone give an estimate as to how long it would take to level from 1-50? I want to at least be able to level all of that up in a day or so--

is there a list of things I could do to increase my exp+% rate?

[modest igloo]

heaven on high, and its about the same as PotD

[stuck ingot]

legacy movement if it means anything

[opaque fiber]

Is white scrips gear enough for HQ exarchic?

[rigid dove]

Hmm ok

[little swift]

legacy vs standard shouldn't change if your mouse is letting you auto run by holding both buttons

[little swift]

no

[opaque fiber]

Ahhh crap, what is then?

[little swift]

you lack a lot of CP

[stuck ingot]

it's not an auto run though, I tried that in keybinds; that's a toggle and this is very precise

[pine onyx]

Do you get a coin from the tower paradigm even if you already got the weekly loot?

[modest igloo]

the ilvl490 set can be pentamelded, thats BiS for crafters. still expensive tho

[twilit arch]

you always get a coin from your first run of paradigm

[opaque fiber]

How expensive are we talking about?

[pine onyx]

only the first?

I did it yesterday

[modest igloo]

for the set, about 1 mil, for pentacrafting, took as much as 4.5 mil with my luck

[opaque fiber]

What's pentacrafting?

[twilit arch]

yes, only on the first run as paradigm is still weekly capped

[little swift]

and you've already set everything to default on your control settings?

pentamelding*

[modest igloo]

i meant pentamelding mb

[stuck ingot]

yes

[pine onyx]

Damn, that means I can't upgrade my gear yet

[dusky forum]

what is the alliance list?

[pine onyx]

since i can't get the last coin until last week

[opaque fiber]

still dunno whats that

[little swift]

hmmm and you've restarted the game and the kb/m are functional on other programs/devices? not unplugged

[stuck ingot]

yes

[modest igloo]

it took me about a week to get a class from 1-50 playing 8 hours a day

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

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

How can I get my gear melded?

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

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

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

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

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

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

[opaque fiber]

ohh penta as in x5?

[modest igloo]

basically you stuff extra materia into crafted gear

its a low% chance

[dusky forum]

where did u put this for your hud?

[opaque fiber]

oof, is there no cheaper way?

I really don't wanna use more than 500k

[twilit arch]

near my hotbars

[modest igloo]

buy your first exarchic set on the MB tbh, then keep doing roulettes and other content for the gil you need

[twilit arch]

usually play healer in alliance raids so having them close ish to easily click on is ideal if i need to raise other party

[modest igloo]

getting full ilvl510 unlocks all content

[twilit arch]

but if you're like a tank or dps main, then they can kind of be wherever is most convenient for you

[opaque fiber]

Ik but there's a bit of time until I'll get to Shb content that requires exarchic gear, so I thought I could get my crafters high enough to craft it myself

[modest igloo]

welcome to crafting!

[opaque fiber]

I'm trying to save gil for something tho that's the main reason I want the cheaper stuff

[delicate venture]

any recommendation on what to do with all the extra allagan tomestones ive been collecting from doing ARR quests and trials? not sure what to save for or prioritize with them

thats a personal time investment, its up to you if oyu want to invest that time into making the gear to make the gear

so making the hud should i make it in a line for it?

[little swift]

i mean its cheaper from a gil perspective but not from a time perspective

[novel verge]

Is there a recommended data center to join per region or does it not make any difference

[little swift]

and with how late we are into the tier, its probably a bit cheaper to purchase still

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)
  ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

[novel verge]

I see, thank you

[modest igloo]

you'd still be a bit low, and outta cash

[opaque fiber]

Oof

[little swift]

you could most definitely expand and separate the status bars and make them a bit bigger, a lot of those are important tidbits of information

do take a peek in to #protips-and-ui and see what you can find about people's uis

[opaque fiber]

And you said it's arond 4.5M gil to get the full set penta melded, right?

[modest igloo]

it could be more or less depending on your luck

[opaque fiber]

I see

[modest igloo]

i broke 50 materia once on a single meld

[opaque fiber]

Might try my luck again for eldthurs, im saving gil for him since a week of grinding didnt get me that mount lol

[little swift]

its a lot chance to get the last meld through

but it can be cheaper if you built up your own materia stockpile over time

[golden field]

Titles dont seem to be unlocking for me, im level 50 and finished ARR msq but only have 3 titles available. Is that normal?

titles start flowing a bit more doing more endgame stuff like raids/other side content

[novel verge]

!faq worldtype

[zinc orbit]

Types of Worlds

Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.

Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.

Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.

New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.

Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.

You can copy the hotbar using /hotbar copy ARC 1 BRD 1

Do i need to keep low level gear for alts or to recycle them ?

[sage mirage]

Depends if you plan on picking up a new class anytime soon

If you're starting from lvl 1, having some gear on hand could be helpful

[warm snow]

I'd only recommend holding on to the brand new ring, class quests will give you gear from 1-30

After that you'll want to pickup dungeon gear as it shows up

[sage mirage]

If you're doing DoH, it's definitely worth it to keep your gear

[warm snow]

Your rotation is switching between ice and fire phases

[meager scarab]

Yeah but only the ice one is good

[warm snow]

While you have fire orbs up your fire spells do extra damage

While you have ice orbs up your mp regenerates way faster

[glossy flare]

That's really it for the most part

There are also ultimates

which don't offer any meaningful rewards except for shiny weapons and bragging rights

They are a challenge for the sake of a challenge

Of course there are other activities like alliance raids, hunts or Bozja (which is too complex to explain in a sentence)

[fading aurora]

Final fantasy has pvp aswell but its not as good as other mmos

So thats not really an end thing

[glossy flare]

Also relic grinds

if you want shiny weapons

[fading aurora]

You’ll also be gearing all classes i guess since u can switch between all of them at any tine out of combat on one character

No alts needed

[versed field]

What about transmog, collectibles, professions, etc? End game stuff not centered on combat

[glossy flare]

crafters and gatherers are their own content basically

[fading aurora]

There is transmogs but its called glamour in this game

[glossy flare]

They are classes of their own with their own skills and therefore rotations and whatnot

[halcyon radish]

Where do I take Allagan Aetherstones? (they drop from the coils..)

[glossy flare]

they also have exclusive content

[halcyon radish]

i have too many and wanted to see if i could get armour I can turn in for more GC seals for them or something

[twilit arch]

the aetherstone are crafting materials. so if you don't have crafters leveled to make use of them, can either vendor/marketboard them

[halcyon radish]

Cool

[glossy flare]

Transmog would be glamour in this game but it is pretty similar. And of course you can sink tons of time into assembling the perfect outfit

[twilit arch]

or find someone who does have crafters leveled to make them

[halcyon radish]

i'll just mb them

[true verge]

why cant i desynth all my equipment

[twilit arch]

what are you trying to desynth

[fading aurora]

Some equipment require different professiona

[true verge]

wym?

weapons and armor

[faint flare]

no im lvl 30

[fading aurora]

[faint flare]

And they need to be the correct crafter for that gear

[glossy flare]

not every weapon or piece of armour requires bsm

[faint flare]

You can see it in their item description

Next to crafting and repairs

That'd the job that desynth it

[fading aurora]

The gear description icon will show u which one u need leveled to desynth it

[true verge]

oohhhhh

[faint flare]

You basically need all crafters Lv30 to desynth everything

[true verge]

dam okay

[leaden ginkgo]

what is Dark Knight’s playstyle compared to Paladin? they both look cool to me in videos so I’m split on what I want to play as my tank.

[glossy flare]

pld centers around 2 continuous buff windows you keep running

[faint flare]

More off globals than paladin

[glossy flare]

drk has more weaving and works on a 60s buff cycle

[faint flare]

Slight mana management

[glossy flare]

very slight

[fading aurora]

Why not play both and then decide which u like lol

U will eventually level all classes to 80

Might aswell

[exotic flume]

When do people usually need to start learning to use the market?

[faint flare]

Never really

You don't need the market board

It's the lazy way to get thinga

[fading aurora]

Unless you are cheap like me and like to server hop to check every miniscule price difference on items

[halcyon radish]

I definitely do that.

[fading aurora]

I made a spread sheet and wrote all the prices on every server to get the best prices for all my items

Took me a while

But worth it

Instead of buying the gear for 1.3m i got it for 800k

Which is a win in my book

[exotic flume]

Depends on how long it takes you to get 0.5M i guess

[true verge]

i dont see where it tells me what class i need

[fading aurora]

Where it says crafting and repairs

The icon matches the class

Or the job

[exotic flume]

Is grinding for it the non-lazy one?

[fading aurora]

Of the respective crafter that u need to desynth

[faint flare]

Yes it is

You can get everything yourself

[exotic flume]

Is it the only one?

[faint flare]

If you put in the time

[fading aurora]

Sometimes grinding is too much rng in the end u will probably buy it unless its 100% unsellable

[faint flare]

You only need gil if you're lazy

[exotic flume]

As in, you either get it from dungeon drops or from market?

[faint flare]

Dungeon gear is equal to the same ilvl of high quality crafted gear

[fading aurora]

If u have the time to grind go for it but some have work so buying gear is much faster i guess

Some items cant be sold so you’ll have to grind for it anyways

[exotic flume]

Heheh. So are retainers the only way to put stuff on the board?

[fading aurora]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[fading aurora]

U can get 2 for free and then u can rent more i think its up to 10 of them

But the rest cost money like an extra sub every month to keep

[remote lintel]

you dont need more than 2 retainers unless youre a really hardcore crafter

[exotic flume]

How would more than 2 help the crafters?

[faint flare]

More storage

And more selling listings

[fading aurora]

^

[faint flare]

As each retainer can only list 20 different things

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah that’s true just wanted to know which one to do first lol since I want to do 1 of each type before doing doubles

[fading aurora]

Paladin is probably easier and many people prefer it over any other tank

Its really good at surviving by itself

[remote lintel]

its only preferred for soloing some things

[crystal bluff]

^
Paladin or marauder are probably the easier of the tanks

[remote lintel]

i never liked generic holy paladin class so

i main dark knight

[crystal bluff]

I like it
Since its the only class that actually uses just a regular sword

[fading aurora]

Just do what i did and pretend it uses darkness instead of light as its power @remote lintel lol i made my transmog look like a dark knight

[leaden ginkgo]

I’ll start with that then

[remote lintel]

you might be onto something

[true verge]

okay besides msq and daily roulette whats the best way to make money?

[remote lintel]

crafting

[leaden ginkgo]

Trial mat farms

[fading aurora]

Cerberus outyping me

Or if you are lazy do what i do and farm lvl 70 exs for mats and if you are luck and roll on one u can make 500-1.5m per mat

Depends on what u farm

Lucky*

[heavy wadi]

That's... not fully true, there's no one universal best way to make gil

[remote lintel]

can do bozja while leveling 71-80 and do CLL like 10 times and sell the bozja augment mats

[heavy wadi]

It's entirely server dependent

[true verge]

wait so i just spam trials?

[fading aurora]

Yes and home u get mat rolls

Hope*

[remote lintel]

you need a party for lvl 70+ trials

[fading aurora]

If you have a good team jade stoa is a fast one , if your team is decent they can do 1 min 30 sec cleara

Clears*

1 tank full dps

The mat sold for up to 1.7m on my server before 5.55

But now it went down in price

Dunno how it is on other servers

[true verge]

dam

okay so which ones should i queue for?

[fading aurora]

Id still say jade stoa

Byukkos mane still sells pretty good

[pine onyx]

Resistance weapons are the best relic weapons right?

[fading aurora]

Look on market to see how much it sells on your servers

[remote lintel]

yes

[sonic fractal]

depending on what kind of best are you partaining to

[true verge]

are these the mat names or trial names?

[fading aurora]

The trail is called jade stoa

[pine onyx]

As in highest stats

[sonic fractal]

then yes

[fading aurora]

The mat is called byakkos mane

[remote lintel]

highest stats are edenmorn weapons and resistance weapons

[fading aurora]

There should be groups doing it in party finder if u have it unlocked

I think its locked behind a quest chain

Before u can access it

[true verge]

i didnt find the mat on the market board

[fading aurora]

Just type mane

And it should be at the bottom

White and blue icon

I dont know how to spell the name of the guy that drops it lol

[true verge]

yeah bro im spamming this

are there other items i should try farming for?

[remote lintel]

do treasure maps

[true verge]

how i do that?

[faint flare]

Gather/buy Time-worn maps, ones that are for 8 players and run them in groups

The lv80 one is zonureskin

[fading aurora]

If you have a job that can desynth u can roll on weps and have a chance to get a mane from them too @true verge

[indigo vale]

I can't recall if I've asked before, but is there a way I can get one of my Retainers to stand around in my Private Chambers?

[true verge]

ight

[remote lintel]

@indigo vale no

[indigo vale]

Tragic
What are the nameless NPCs I see in or outside other folks' homes then?

[remote lintel]

you can put vendors and retainers outside your house

you can only put vendors inside your house

[late lintel]

Guys could someone point me in the right direction to gear my LW? I have just been doing the ishgard to 60 then handed in leves till 70 and ive skint myself down to 25 gold but my gear is horrendous im currently at 254/254/301 for my gear and dont know how to improve it with no cash

[remote lintel]

you should be leveling all crafters at the same time

[late lintel]

Yeah i have but they sharing the same horrendous bit of gear

[remote lintel]

craft your own gear?

[twilit arch]

well you can get lvl 70 yellow scrip gear for your ltw

[robust crow]

google custom deliveries

do them and get like 2000 yellow scrips or more per week

[late lintel]

Ok thnx

[robust crow]

spend the yellow scrips on virtually free level 55-70 gear

shouldn't need to spend any money at all

[late lintel]

I only have skybuilders scrips atm new to the game n a bit lost

[robust crow]

sky scrips are separate

[late lintel]

Ok tyvm

[leaden ginkgo]

how do I go to an entirely different region?

I have this msq

[faint flare]

Airships. The npcs should have told yoy

[leaden ginkgo]

that needs me to go to a region that I cant fly to and I have no aetherites there

it doesn't let me fly there thoguh

[wintry chasm]

What region is this?

[faint flare]

If the Msq is asking you to go to another region then you should have airship travel

[leaden ginkgo]

I need to go to Coerthas

for the quest Cold Reception

[random girder]

walk

[wintry chasm]

Go there from Gridania

North Shroud

[faint flare]

You walk from North shroud

North West exit

[delicate venture]

i just unlocked The Binding Coil of Bahamut parts 1-5 quests, should I do those? can I do them unsynced?

[faint flare]

Unsync them

[wintry chasm]

yes and yes

Coils has a nice story

[leaden ginkgo]

alright I'll walk there

[static yacht]

Does anyone have a link to that skit where some gay mexican guy is recruiting for his static and its all scholars and dancers?

[remote lintel]

glenn angel?

[static yacht]

That name is familiar let me youtube him

[hoary kayak]

lmao what

[static yacht]

Yesss thats it!

Thank you!

[feral nebula]

Is it possible to send message/tell cross servers?

Was doing A9S with someone from phoenix, but the person got dc or idk what, and we cant reach to inv back

[faint flare]

Only if they're a friend or they're hosting a PF

It's wack

[atomic jewel]

Is there a class that uses a lance like monster hunter? Ik dragoon uses a polearm but I kinda was thinking something with a cool shield and a big lance.

[faint flare]

Dragoon but no shield

Only shield job is paladin with a sword and shield

[feral nebula]

Does divination+seal stack the dmg buff?

[faint flare]

Yes

[feral nebula]

ah ok nice, ty

[dusky forum]

what is the difference between trails and the other stuff?

[faint flare]

Trials are just their own thing against a single boss

[warm snow]

No mh style lancers. Just SnS GS or lbg

Oh and weebsword

[hallow hare]

Hello. I’m donwloading the demo on ps4 anyone willing to share some insight ?

Mentor me lol

[warm snow]

Trials are boss fights

[dusky forum]

heard heard and when should i start doing raids?

[warm snow]

Theres 2 types of raids

24 man alliance raids

[atomic jewel]

Ah dang, ig ill just keep usin dark knight

[warm snow]

The arr 24 man series is mandatory for story reasons

[native pollen]

where do i go to unlock zadnor lockboxes?

[warm snow]

8 man raids are called normal raids, they come in normal and savage difficulty with savage raids being the endgame Raiding of a given expansion

Arr raids were the first ff14 raids and are all the equivalent of savage difficulty they are not in any roulettes so they're basically impossible to do on df. Normal raids starting in heavensward are all doable through duty finder just like dungeons

All raids are at the level cap of a given expansion

[warm snow]

Same place as other bozja lockboxes

[faint flare]

Same npc as the bojzan ones, the locksmiths

[warm snow]

Kinda threw a text wall at you but there's the guts of ff14 raiding

[atomic jewel]

Is there a good survey I could fill out out to find which job would be best for me?

[pseudo pulsar]

Hey i don't know the name in english : but what is the purpose of the big box around the line of spells in ATH ?

[exotic flume]

More like a text hedge.

[heavy wadi]

pardon?

[remote lintel]

in what

[warm snow]

Ath?

[pseudo pulsar]

Ah that's not the name in english too :/

[exotic flume]

He means the cross hotkey

[pseudo pulsar]

Exactly

[exotic flume]

Almost certain

[remote lintel]

to see them better

[warm snow]

All jobs are viable, pick what you think looks/sounds cool

[pseudo pulsar]

To see them better ?

[remote lintel]

so they dont blend in with stuff on your screen

[tidal yarrow]

how can I unlock the NPC that sells the delubrum haircut?

[pseudo pulsar]

They can't be hidden by something else ? Ok thx. The interface is strange, i'll check on net, but they don't say what means the box. Like special hotkey bar

[atomic jewel]

Gotcha, tho I really love tanking so far, what does the warrior do?

[remote lintel]

its to highlight your skills

so they are easier to see

[warm snow]

Gets angry and wails on enemies with a big axe

[exotic flume]

Switch axe with sword and get a drk?

[ivory gull]

For airship and sub crafting, Does materials quality matter ?

[pseudo pulsar]

@remote lintel Even if i put them away from the cross hotkey, i still see them. But np i'll check a guide on net, thx for answers

[remote lintel]

@exotic flume not really

dark knight uses magic

warrior doesnt

[raven sage]

Complete the Dalriada quest

[faint flare]

Finish the bojzan story fully with Dalriada

[heavy wadi]

finish the questline, it unlocks after you do so

[warm snow]

Paladin uses holy magic and sword and shield combos, warrior is too angry to die, dark Knight uses great sword attacks and weird black magic

[tidal yarrow]

in every instance of zadnor i join there is already a dalriada on going

should I leave and re join till i find a better instance?

[warm snow]

Up to you

[heavy wadi]

do whatever you want

you won't get penalized for looking for an instance with a dalriada you can join

[hallow hare]

Is there a newbie channel or something

I read the community is very good and helpful. Which channel is that? Or is not in discord

[remote lintel]

this one

[faint flare]

Yeah #questions-and-help

Nice guys in there

[remote lintel]

^

[hallow hare]

Ok. So how hard is this game?

[faint flare]

Barely

[hallow hare]

Any good builder for absolute beginners?

[faint flare]

Until you get to the high end raids which are entirely optional

There's no builds

In a traditional Sense
