ah, so i have to actually upgrade it, great
well, that means i need like 1k more of the first island's tokens then
hey so I got the early access to ff14 endwalker and I redeemed the early access code on the mogstation. but I puchased it as a collectors edition and now I cant claim the collectors edition code. Did I screw up and have to call square enix or is it because the expansion hasn't come out yet?
thank you thats a relief.
whats the fastest way to get amenos crystals?
fates
thought so
lol is there a discord for blue mage skills
why do skirmishes in zadnor have +50% xp and is that just a temporary thing?
No, and not for mettle, for xp
What rank do positionals unlock on Samurai?
52
ty
so the cutscene ||and thus did dawn break on a realm reborn|| means that in in heavensward now?
Coming to Ishgard is the first heavensward quest
Before the Dawn is the last arr quest
nope, you're in post arr which is about 80 quests
sheesh
@uneven sapphire https://discord.gg/eeF5mdk
once you see credits a second time you'll be in heavensward.
hey guys, i am on free trial and currently on 293k gil
i wanted to dump the gil into one or several important crafter materials
by chance does this remind you of any materials that are quite essential for crafters? (i plan to level all of them at some point)
Does the Endwalker ear ring increase all XP by 30% or just XP earned in battle? Like will it increase Roulette XP and stuff
Does "Nouveau Riche" change at all if you don't do "Enemy Mine?" Do the two other guys still come help if you don't do the yellow quest in-between? (It's the one where you find out ||the one Wood Wailer was selling out to the Imperials||)
I am pretty sure it doesn't increase roulette XP.
Pretty sure it's just combat xp
It does boost XP rewards for whatever the roulette makes you fight, which can be almost as good depending on your dungeon.
None really, unless you’re already in heavensward content.
i am currently at the fair beginning of heavensward content qwq
i have black chocobo mount at the moment (in case it gives a brief idea on the progress)
what does target rear means
you attack the backside of the enemy
!faq positionals
Why is heavensward content still giving me Poetics?
I am new and I just unlocked samurai with some decent equipment should I focus on this instead of dragoon?
If you want to, sure.
Did you like it more?
its cooler to me and I want more DPS
Enjoy :3
Poetics is the defacto Tomestone for all the old level caps.
play what you like, in the end youll do as much dps as you put in the efort to learn the class so obvi something you like is better
Sounds dumb but I just like swords more but another question I just finished the ultimate weapon msq and how long till heavensward starts
Do the new hairstyles sell well? i got the "both ways"
you still got the entire post ARR stuff
Currently 1.4m on my server
In that case, some things I might suggest are these from Pasdevillet, Mestonnaux, and Frine in the Ishgard marketplace:
Rubber (appears often in boot recipes of all levels)
Tallow Candle (semi-common in furniture)
Beef Stew and Dzemael Gratin (cheap and fairly decent gathering food)
All four orchestrion rolls (some people don’t realize that orchestrion rolls on the MB can be bought for vendors and will pay extra for them. But be careful and don’t buy too many in case people catch on)
The advice about the orchestrion rolls can also be said for the ones found in the starting city-states, along with maybe the minions
i will have this saved, thank you so much \qwq/

After submitting 100003092 coffee biscuits, its come to mind.... with the Leve prompt of Submitting additional items, is that actually a better option than Accept>Turn in> Complete ONLY this batch>Repeat?
I would say maybe 90 quests, post arr is ~80 quests and you have to do the crystal tower which I think is about 10 quests.
Why not both?
Did SE already patch the Zadnor duel cheese? I noticed a buffed to hell RDM not doing nearly as much damage to Lyon as I'd think
Yes? additional lets you triple thar leve rewards essentially
Oh gotcha, i thought i may have been losing out on rewards
are you able to favorite presets on gshade?
Sadly not, but you can make a folder in the gshade preset files to copy over your favorites!
oh ok, thanks!
if ranged dps do the least damage why are they brought
i thought dancer did good rdps but its still below the other classes
I always thought it's cause they don't have to stop doing damage for mechs
So is there any point in leveling up my gathering skills before completing the MSQ "Before the Dawn?"
Because it seems like every skill that I get to 50, it says I can't go further in the skill until I beat that 2.55 MSQ.
like casters will have to stop if they ever need to move and melee dps can't do damage if they're not next to the boss
There's a bonus to stats if you have one of each role
Not to mention, that people enjoy playing what they want and most people respect that
how do i get down there?
how to set up positional target rings ?
i remember there is a path somewhere but you'd need to find it, it slowly brings you down in a long path
iirc
im confused, i see people talk about being bards and such, is it a class? i dont see it anywhere in my character jobs or classes or anything
Bard comes from Archer
so doing zadnor stuff and just wondering what are the conditions of making a critical engagement appear on a particular zone? Zone 3 for some reason doesnt pop crit engagements often compared to zone 2 and zone 1?
is it like a profession? or is it an actual class
Bard is a Job, and jobs are progressed from Classes
oh ok
Should I be playing as a summoner between dungeon runs rather than scholar to get through MSQ faster?
Certain Skirmishes/mob killings spawn CEs
Whatever you prefer, but most people do that I've seen
!faq
most skills from 30-max are locked behind the job
Bravely, you can reference the bozja discord for you DC for more info I assume. A link can be found in #resources
so you cant switch your class after 30?
Does being in a party give more XP or something? Why does everything LFG in Bozja?
Easier to be rezed/party wide buffs
gotcha
you can, but you shouldn't be switching from your job to class
If you leave an FC does a message go in the FC text chat appears or just in the FC activities tab…
but you can still switch to like lancer or something
what does hunt train means
oh ok, so i just realized that jobs and classes are two very different things
It's in FC activities tab
so jobs are much better than classes
yep
Ok ty
alright gotchu
you'll get a job stone from your 30 class quest which turns you into a job
Hunts are overworld enemies that are cap level for the expansion of the area they are in. Providing a special currency once defeated
Hunt train is when a bunch of people get together and do a bunch of hunts in the world, usually big beasties
like a world boss ?
awesome, thnx for the info as usual!
If you ever got murdered by some wildly strong thing in an area that didn't justify it, you found a hunt target
With the currency you can buy gear upgrades, mounts, and some glam!
And yes it's similar to a world boss
Kinda like secret bosses in the older FF games? But not as bad as like Ruby or Emerald Weapon
But the world bosses you might know are limited to special FATES
If im a level 35 paladin (originally gladiator) do i have to start from a lvl 1 maurader in order to be a warrior?
yup
ok thanks
It's in limsa Lominsa upper decks
But if you still have your lower-level gear, there's a lot of overlap
is there a group or channel for doing fates together
im kinda truggle doing fates alone
Usually in the recruiting channel for your DC
It's a role you can pick in #612757637813239808
ok thanks
whats the difference between a levequest and other normal quests?
Levequests are basically fates that you can trigger whenever you want
oh ok
Leves are often used to level crafter's/gatherers
always one until later in the game
Which is like... 100 hours from the beginning of the game, probably so don't stress it
they grow back over time, and you can have up to 100 allowances at once
so then whats this?
that's how many you have to use
but you can only have 16 at a time, as it says just to the left
so you spend allowances to take out leves
you complete it, return to the guy you got it from, get rewards
ah ok
wash, rinse, repeat
They're a great source of XP for second, third, and onward jobs. First jobs get plenty of xp from MSQ
!faq steam
- Steam launcher integration update
- Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
- Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
- You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.
What's the purpose of Focus Target? Like I get it shows me the person's HP bar, but I can see that on the side anyway (in dungeons, at any rate)
I'm on the Free Trial version right now, and I just finished the MSQ for ARR, what should I be doing now? Before starting the post patch 2.0 MSQ, that is. Or should I just start on the post patch 2.0 MSQ?
Just start it, it's kinda long lmao
Go to Rowena and buy the Augmented Ironworks weapon for your class
When was provoke's range nerfed to 25y from 30y?
I'm a THM/BLM, so would my weapon be the Ironworks Magitek Rod?
fairly certain its always been 25y? but its kind of hard to find older tooltip info. its been 25y since stormblood at the very least
What is this duty I am missing?
so, afaik, if i am on trial, i cannot buy the game from square? i have to buy it from steam or start over correct?
i started trial on steam
Savage raids, ultimates, the latest ex?
if you started on trial on steam, then yes you need to purchase the full game from steam
Probably E9S.
ic seeds/ br sounds like umbra savage
Judging by the description
@twilit arch ok, thanks
r there any option to show my skill aoe ? like enemy's aoe (red cone, red circle)
Is DR repeatable for mettle grinding?
Yes. You can do it as many times as you want.
(If you're trying for that, I'd suggest getting a relic weapon to one of the stages that requires DR runs before you start grinding mettle that way.)
is it easy to solo 2.0 ex trials and what job should I use if so
If you want mettle, I'd recommend using Zadnor
Any job works at 71+ or so
hey guys im a returning player and was wondering if i should start a fresh character or use my old one which is almost up to SB content
i dont really remember anything from the story aside from the fact that ARR + HW took me months to complete
uh why is bojzan barding selling for 1 gil
is it that common of a drop

is the MSQ more streamlined now than it was before?
ARR was streamlined a bit in 5.3 yes
Its fairly common yes
yea its like i want to actually see the story again but not sure how i feel about taking months to do so
If you want to replay story, they added a new game + mode to re-experience the quests
You can unlock it in vesper bay
so like I have a question about upgrading
the complete edition is on sale on the square enix store, if I'm a free trial account can i just buy that so that I can be upgraded?
Are you on steam?
i c
I'm free trial pc
You can buy it, yes! Complete edition comes with all expansions and base game
You can even save the code for a little while until you feel like you're ready to upgrade
But the code expires eventually, so be careful
do you know how long before it expires
oh speaking of which since i have a free trial account, what do i buy in order to play the full ffxiv? theres a starter edition, complete edition, and a subscription, but what do i do first?
complete edition = starter + shadowbringers
you want either
and then once your free month is up you pay sub
so since endwalkers coming out soon, will shadowbringers be part of that starter edition?
No
shadow bringers will be part of endwalker
oh ok
starter is basically the free trial but unlocked
but if you preorder endwalker then you have to wait for endwalker release to get shadowbringers and stormblood
Endwalker is 6 months away, and once you preorder on SE store it doesn't charge until it comes out
so better honestly to just get the complete on sale
where is the complete edition on sale?
However there is an option to debit now
on steam ?
im not using steam just making sure
?
complete is like 24$ rn and you dont have to use the code until your ready
wrong location
go to square enixs actual store page
YEAH
o ok
alright thanks yall
here right
I was struggling to figure this out because I wanted to get the exp earrings for endwalker
yup
how long is this on sale for
if by some eldritch reason you are playing on mac do know thhat that is separate
how do I get the exp earring from preordering??
you get an email
wait
and you ask square to bill you immediately basically by revealing the code
does the complete edition just have the expansions and nothing else?
It has base game
when levelling my chocobo past rank 10, I feed it thavnarian onion first then have it battle with me right?
dang
Yes star
so maybe it's better just to buy standard edition like a couple days before endwalker then preorder
save 4 dollars
thank you!
I mean another way to see it is that you pay 4 dollars to be able to play past heavensward before endwalker
are (eden) raids the best source of revelation tomestones?
Dungeons are
Spam the 2 newest dungeons
If you need them that bad
After roulettes of course
sorry for the question again but how long is the complete edition on sale?
How do you check what bozjan notes you're missing?
you are right, thank you. imma get complete edition then pre order like a week after I redeem code
Sale duration is on the site's front page
Is there any decent way to make money before the 2.55 point in the game where you unlock past 50 for skills?
thanks
what volume setting is for cutscene voice
can anyone help me with the tam tara deepcroft dungeon pls
what class are you
lancer
And that would be why you're stuck in queue
Give me like fifteen minutes to run Sastasha with this ACN dude and then we can join you for Tam-Tara if you're still in queue
just a question, im planning on running the praetorium soon for the first time as part of MSQ but im not sure how much time i should set aside to watch the cutscenes and play through the dungeon so i dont get like an uber eats or something in the middle
Forty-five minutes or so.
cool thank you :D im completely new so im still trying to get the hang of things
should i prep popcorn?
Wouldn't be a bad idea.
There's people that literally watch a movie during Prae
One guy on here said somebody was dead-ass sewing during it
lmao
is there a way to buy certain glamor clothing from normal vendors because most of the marketplace board costs are in the millions
And if your loading times suck you can get cutscene comboed in Prae
marketboard is the normal vendor for glamour
I'm trying to force the fate All pets are off for a field report. Any idea how it spawns?
the first few room, when people rush, rush
dont attack enemies
people often skip the fight and go teleport to next point, newbies usually get trapped there and die ..then get confused
so might as well just follow them rushing the first few room

im kinda overwhelmed, so are there like 3 sites to manage your ffxiv purchases or subs, or? Because square enix store has its own ffxiv expansions for sale, then on the lodestone website they have their own tab for buying the starter and complete editions, then the mog station? sorta confused
can you solo hw trials
Yes
@dire prawn i got a party!!
The only two in HW that might give you difficulty solo are Bismarck and Thordan EX
isnt zurvan ex hard to solo without tank
All hw exs have been soloed by war and pld
What job lvl do i get Desynth at?
But the level needed when actually desynthing, is on an item by item basis
No no it's 30 minimum across all crafting classes.
And crafter by crafter basis
I tried on a 15 crafter the other day 😅
You can desynth any item regardless of desynth level but you won't get any bonus if the item level of the item is too high
Wait that’s probably repairing I’m thinking of
Yeah lol
@mossy current well i just tryed to desynth low lvl items i have and it was greyed out
What level is the crafter the item is attached to?
Make sure that job unlocked too
compare the number/position of the notes that you're missing to this google doc https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/122CszAaiUanOdRhEOcjUkjkzxoo229e_LIdKg-btfs0/edit?usp=drivesdk
for Desynth do you need to eb alteas = lvl to the item your breaking down?
no, only level 30 is needed.
Don't forget to pick up the quest for it
my AS on the other hand is 20 lvls away
The quest is in the uldah markets, big roe guy
What macro works for Earthly Star placement?
same as any other ground-placement skill, being either of these:
/micon "Earthly Star"```
```/ac "Earthly Star" <me>
/micon "Earthly Star"```
just repeat the first line of those macros to fill up the rest of the alloted lines to the full limit of 15.
do i need to have 25 mil mettle always on-hand everytime i wanna enter dalraida?
no, you can enter with any amount of mettle
(thought you asked for turning it into honors)
o
what volume setting is for cutscene voice
so for these fates for curtana atma, do you really have to just sit here and wait for these to pop?
Yes.
p a i n
Yeah, even with all the nerfs to the book, they're still one of, if not, the most annoying step of the relic
(Books used to need 10 of each enemy listed, and fate respawn timers used to be much longer)
that sounds horrid
omg
hmmm, guess its time to sit in east shroud and watch netflix
one of the mobs only spawns in groups of 3 with a medium-length respawn timer and if anyone was doing it other than you and didn't want to wait in a party it was terrible. But FATE spawns were worse still haha
Oh, if you're waiting for the fate im thinking of, being "The Enmity of my Enemy", that's part of a chain with 1-2 other fates that spawn very close by with a similar name.
How limited is the Nier coins? Like how many can you get per day or week?
Or can I get as many as I want?
Copied/Puppet: Unlimited
Paradigm: one per week

ty
are these fates those hidden types where i have to be at the particular spawn point?
If you mean you need to talk to the person to spawn them, a couple are.
The one I mentioned is one of them.
who sells materials for custom delivery for Adkiragh?
I found this old reddit thread which has imgur albums showing the approximate location of fates along with other things. It notes if you need to talk to a person to start the fate https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/bi81w9/reliczodiac_weapon_books_visual_guide/
When does Leveling Roullete become bad for leveling (without daily boost)
you only really wanna use the roulette with the daily bonus
Leveling roulette is always relevant unless you're capped. Even then you still get a handful of tomes for it.
ty! @obsidian patio
Oh without bonus. Yeah best to queue directly for dungeons.
without the bonus you just want to use the highest available leveling dungeon
Then what's the best way to level from 50-70?
Leveling roulette without the bonus is basically only good at the super low levels where you only have a handful of dungeons.
Just queue highest?
yep
just not level capped dungeons (level 50, 60, or 70)
And I assume Bozja is till best for 71 onwards
For 50, you want to queue for Aurum Vale, the 47 dungeon. For 60 and 70, you want the 59 and 69 dungeons respectively.
what so dont do dungeons are are exactly 50 60 or 70? why?
They're level cap dungeons
for leveling, they give less exp
They give shit for exp
They're not tuned for EXP. Only for tomes.
ah i see
they're meant for tomes, not exp
So after doing 2.0 MSQ, where should I progress gear wise?
Is there a way to drag this to a custom spot on the screen?
HUD>duty
story will keep giving you gear, so that will keep you good for the most part.
which ones are level capped dungeons?
A friend of mine recommended buying poetics, but that seems like a bit of a hassle?
What time do daily roulettes reset?
well you can't buy poetics, they're earned from level 50/60/70 content
Sorry, I mean buying poetics gear.
if they meant buy poetics gear you can easily do so at the vendors marked with a blue bag in the starting cities
get ironworks if you are about to cap on poetics, but dont actively grind for them
the i130 Ironworks weapon will be a massive and immediate boost in damage.
^
Right.
Wow.
Fat ilvel boost from 60something to 81.
What about accessories? Will I get more of those from 2.X?
yes, but one of the rings will fall a bit behind since they don't give you double to neatly cover both ring slots
all the gweibers can be brought with the totems except diamond right?
yep.
Diamond will probably become buyable in 5.57/5.58 which are slated for June/July and July/August
WoL one is in Eulmore by the tomestone people
o
if i buy a code how long will it last?
i just got into 5.4 msq
how far is ruby weapon
and which one is earlier ruby or emerald
So all in all, no need to buy or grind for poetics to buy ironworks, just get them as they come along?
And just play through like normal?
yep
Gotcha.
How long are the 3.x patches until stormblood starts?
Yeah, the gear grind just kinda seems overwhelming.
if you want to get both poetics and a lot of experience, then the Main Scenario roulette is excellent for both. It has the Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium duty which are pretty easy to do
gives at least 500 poetics if no one is new and a metric ton of experience for 30-40 minutes of easy effort
Is there any way to disable the tool tips on the hotbar when my mouse hover over them?
about 40 quests in total, but the quests themselves are much more compact in cutscenes in dialogue, so it greatly depends on how fast you are at reading.
you can probably do it in a day or two with good queue times for the story dungeons/trials.
or hitting esc->yes ^
what precisely does the Dynamis Dice do in bozja?
Dynamis Dice Effects:
High Wire (+30% DMG, -30% ???, 1 min)
HP & MP Up (30%, 3 min)
Healer LB 3
Doom (10s cannot esuna)
Minimum (15s)
Pyretic (10s)
Poison (15s)
Toad (15s)```
oof
out of the 20 or so times I've used the dice, I've only had a negative effect happen one or two times
ah ok
Might just be me being lucky, or chance of negative rate is fairly low.
I'm guessing that's a no?
Where can I trade that please ?
I can't remember. If it would be anywhere it'd be in hotbar settings or ui settings
you can at least move them to a corner of your screen
idk about disable, but probably
go to the tomestone trader, Auriana, in Mor Dhona to convert them into Allegory
@obsidian patioThank you
What's the fastest way to lvl up crafters 70 to 80 besides custom deliveries?, I'm mid ShB, and levequests don't seem to give too much exp (best one gives 3 million exp, in HQ will be 6 mill, but I need 22 million for next lvl)
Leves are actually pretty fast if you do the triple turn-ins that don't want basic materials like ingots and cloth
do you need a high ixal reputation for the vendor to sell dyes?
I think only rank 4 or 5 for the dyes.
ohh
What was the icon in the plate drawing for the triple turn-ins? Just to differentiate them
nice, thxs
didn't know those changed between expansions
u have a link with all of those and which one are they?
it's only different for SHB since it's a different world entirely
for ARR/HW/SB triple leves use this icon https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/287679207432257538/838296547133227069/image0.png
What's an efficient way to complete these last sets of relic quests? The one you need 180 items for?
i activated limited leveling roulette with me and a friend who are 70+ and got placed into a level 46 dungeon
why
A fond memory, tell me a story, and spare parts?
I personally recommend doing it initially through Zadnor as you complete the story and rank up
Yeah I hit 25, but I'm in a bit of a slump for the memories.
I only have a few left for the parts, and the books.
But the memories are coming up a bit dry.
Alexander 1 for Axles, Alexander 3 or 4 for Springs, Omega Deltascape 1/3 for books, Eden 1/3 for memories
Alexander and Omega are sped up a lot if you have blue mages in the party.
And all of those duties should be doable with one tank, one healer, and 6 DPS
Can I do them unsynced or?
Even if you just queue up for them in duty roulette it shouldn't take too long either, if you don't want to make a dedicated party.
Soo, I know most answers would be "Play however you're most comfortable" but, I'd like to ask... Would you play with this setup? If not, why? What would you do in order to improve it?
My goal is to play Dancer properly in order to help my group as much as possible, I already learnt most things about rotation and stuff from a Dancer friend, but I am now working on my HUD
Note: the gap below gil/inventory grid is the place where I keep ACT to know who to use dance partner on
I personally don't think having the skills right next to the character is a good idea since it blocks the center of your screen which is where most important stuff happens
Limited Leveling Roulette only works if you bring 4 people
Otherwise, it would become more difficult for players queuing for low level dungeons to get a party, which is counter to the goal of the roulette system
Oh, I see 😮
I was thinking to also raise the camera angle so it's easier to see things, I just thought it might be useful to be able to look at my character's positioning and skill procs at the same time + have the raid buffs in big icons to make sure I do not forget to use them and mess up some burst windows
are the job quests actually worth paying attention too or is it fine to speed run them?
Dark Knight has a nice story attached to them, the rest are pretty average for the most part.
ah ok thanks 🙂
You can probablh have one transparent hotbar containing long cd procs a bit higher up
But most other abilities youll get used to throwing out from muscle memory
"Transparent hotbar"? What is that 😮
im doing the rouge one and it was pretty boring so i skipped most of it just making sure i didn't piss anything important lol
You can adjust a hotbars transparency in hud layout
Oh you mean this?
Ye
Oh, I'll turn it down to 50% so it's easier to see things, I only really care to see about the procs, thanks 😮
Now I can see both skills and surroundings, thank you so much! ^^
Replica Sky Rat Harness of Striking this is a leather working pattern right?
the ninja questline is pretty fun though, speaking as someone who did it as their first msq job. the 80 capstone quest is also pretty good
for actual emotional impact yeah drk beats everything, sam is pretty good too
Yes.
The replica Sky Pirate crafts are unlocked when you unlock the Firmament.
they're in the Ishgard Restoration section of the log
I personally did the raptors right outside of the outer la noscea aetheryte.
The ones north/north-east of Wineport might drop them too
so any raptors in there 30s?
I don't remember their levels :\

How hard are the shadowbringer primal mount raids
moderately, but it varies
ex is the first tier of high end content so with some practice in party finder it is pretty accessible
once you get to farming them for mounts theyre basically muscle memory
so start or join a prog/practice party in party finder, then start or join a farm one once youre comfortable with the fight
what are these raids called
one of them is a harder version of a solo instance boss. but normally EXs are always the harder version of a normal trial you've already done
yeah but i dont think that one has a mount
whats the recommended item level
true
depends, but try to always be highest possible, so 530 gear 535 weapon is the highest right now
but that takes a while
varies from fight to fight, but the most recent one has a minimum required item level of 510
i have 510 gear rn
buying 510 exarchic gear off market board is the quickest way to get decent gear
you can also augment that at hismena(?) in eulmore
to 520
510 is enough to meet the minimum to enter any of the EXs, though some will be smoother if you can get better gear
yeah should be
which do u guys think is the best PLD relic weapon?
for the most part, they are not gear checks
if people do the fight with minimal mistakes, you're definitely going to clear
entirely subjective. for stats? newest. for aesthetic? whatever one you like most
im in the process of getting my second one, the curtana but damn these books are gonna kill me haha
@random girder what tome do I need to uprade it
allegory, the one that caps at 2000
the other one that caps at 2k
not poetics
ok I have 2k
you basically exchange the gear for hq certificates
and then buy crystalline rain
as much as you can
You said eulmore has the upgrades right
yeah
which npc
gear exchange, i think their name is hismena but i could be forgetting
ok I will check it out
near the aetheryte
ah yeah hismena is in mor dhona lol misremembered
you want the certificates of import, i think
hq
whichever one exchanges exarchic gear
and the crystalline rain
yeah its not import then
one of the other ones
definitely hq though, or itll give you nq augmented gear which is worse
so what does the certificate do
allows you to buy augmented gear, along with the rain
She also sells it?
yes
1 piece of normal gear worth of certificates + some rain = same piece of augmented
rain?
crystalline rain
she also sells that
you get that for tomestones, just buy as much as possible
2k should be enough for most of your gear
dont exchange all of it yet in case it isnt
so you dont lose gear lol
I got my wep chest pants and helm
Is there a way to check if you can get gear from the current nier raid
how do I turn my UI back on
scroll left click??
nah, ScrLk key on your keyboard
check the icon of the duty and see if the "rewards earned" says 2/3 or nothing
np (:
if it's 2/3 then you've only gotten the materia token and tomestone upgrade token
if it's 3/3 then you got the above stuff and a piece of gear.
should be right below the picture
then you haven't run it this week
?
do exp potions exist
does loot drop in savage take in which jobs are there?
leveling second jobs is so boring
so the green checkmark does not mean anything
Like if there is no Machinist will machinist gear drop
it just shows you completed the duty at all
oh
savage gear drops as coffers, which adjust to your job when you open them
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
Only the 4th fight of a tier drops actual gear, being a random weapon with no consideration for your party make-up
So when you open the chest
only for crafters and gatherers in the form of Manuals which boost EXP when crafting or gathering items
the gear adjusts to youjr team
to your current class.
yep
that people are rolling for
thats alot different
than before right
@obsidian patio ?
didn't it just drop random belts
and acceosries
for liek the first floor
for example
yes, before it was direct gear with no regards for class.
Does any sort of bonus exp effects (food, preorder earrings etc.) apply to bozja/zadnor? for the big chunk of exp gotten from the "fates" there
yep, they apply to all exp gained
but not mettle gained?
the only thing that boosts mettle gain is the buff from witnessing a duel be completed.
Did they release the final steps for the resistance weapons this patch?
yes.
Starting to see people with i535 Resistance weapons
This is a set of 3 quests which only need to be done once.
how is it that people do such crazy dps? Im talking like 30-40k consistently?
After that is the step that actually upgrades the weapon to i535, being 15 "Raw Emotions" which are earned from Delibrum Reginae, the Dalriada in Zadnor, any level 70 dungeon done synced, and heaven on high with RNG
30-40k isn't possible.
Sorry, forgot to add that im in bozja
healers and tanks have super strong essences that nerf them heavily
!action Deep Essence of the Profane
!action Deep Essence of the Irregular
irregular's a fun one

What do i need to buy to get another 485 relic? And where?
There's also a large amount of various damage buffs spread throughout the different actions
4 thavnairian scale powders from the mor dhona or idyllshire poetics vendor, for a total of 1k poetics.
Thanks
Irregular basically requires you as a tank to be at full HP and mitigate all damage you take or it will very likely one-shot you.
i did a couple DR with an irregular essence, you have you use 2 mitigation skills every single time a room-wide happens
or you die
it was kinda fun
but yeah, with good play and strong essences, tanks and healers can easily outperform DPS
...And then there's the Caster Cheese combination that's mainly done with duels, which is basically stacking a ton of damage buffs to use on Lost Flare Star, making it do 300k+ damage every 3 seconds.
jesus
So after months of trying to get into the game I'm finally starting, any recommendations as to what would be a good starter job or whatnot?
All of them
depends on what kinda playstyle you wanna do
just to make sure
current patch is Save the Queens fourth chapter, and we are likely not to see a continuation until or after Endwalker?
yep
Well I mostly think I'll be playing solo for a while
i came from an action game background so i picked archer/bard when i started since it let me run around freely while i shoot my arrows
you are forced to do group content by msq
it queues you in with randoms, so dont worry about getting people together
but theres no job thats inherently better for doing solo stuff in story
and yeah you'll have to matchmake for dungeons to progress story at some point, so you'll have to pick a role
all the solo instances are balanced to work as any job
tanks lead the charge and keep the enemy's attention, dps bring the pain, healer keeps everyone from dying horribly
So I saw a NIN with like....water weapons. How do you get those?
(but also all jobs bring the pain, everyone is a dps first and their role second)
I see the HoH fire weapons but
There's like ten different way to get weapons
there are various water weapons
Dungeons, Trials, Raids, Deep Dungeons, Crafting to name a few ways
but you probably saw one of the crafted primal weapons on the market board
available from materials from ex trials
Water weapons specifically make me think of Leviathan EX or Bismarck EX
either leviathan or seiryu
Well
or bismarck maybe
Not even Bismarck
Idk. All I know is there were blue curved pointed daggers and had a bubble effect
yeah either bismarck or seiryu then
can buy those off market board for.. varying prices
bismarck is expanse weapons, seiryu is seiryus sanctified
And by varying prices he means over 1 million gil
for some
usually between 10k and 1-2mil
but older ones are cheaper
they shoudl both go for like a few hundred k by now
Shinryu's Ephemeral weapons on the MB are somewhere between 1 and 1.5 mil
should i stop using res macros
i see a lot of the times the text executes but not the spell
its generally more consistent to just swiftcast raise manually

i guess so
a lot of the times only the text executes but not the spell so ive to literally use the macro twice also spamming the message
i think I'll stop using res macro
What's the quest to unlock Cutter's Cry and where is it
"Dishonor Before Death" in the Ul'dah marketplace
should be near the marketboards
/ac "Raise" <t>
/wait 1
/p Raising <t>!
This way if you spam the macro, it will not spam party chat.
Admittedly, macros are still shenanigans due to them not triggering if you activate them too soon.
I'll send you ss see if my macro is okay or i over did it
It's going to go wrong regardless of how good you make the macro. There's just some small things you can do to make it less terrible.
Hey, can someone explain levequests to me? When I open the quest from the journal I don't see a mark on the map
Separating Swiftcast from the Raise macro is a good idea, for starters.
i manually swift and raise
don't like both in a macro
👍
this
When you select the leve there should be an "Initiate" option or something along those lines at the bottom of the quest journal menu
I don't know how to use macros but I use Swiftcast on Holy a lot during dungeons so that sounds like a terrible idea
If this is "leves of XXX" that is just a quest that tells you to do a leve, not the leve itself. Go to the bottom of the journal to find the list of leves
macro looks fine to me
it doesn't execute sometimes
Like I said, just assume that it'll go wrong at times.
onky the text does
Oh I see it now, thanks
ive to spam macro twice just for the spell to activate also spamming the message twice
If you spam the macro, it'll keep restarting the macro. Because of the <wait.1>, it will not spam the message twice if you keep clicking it within a second.
end of the day, macros won't work if they queue into the gcd
that's why they're so unreliable
you need to consciously give them 'space' if you wish to use them
If you click the macro while your GCD is still up, it'll go wro.. ^ that.
wym
put it like this
it's damn near impossible to doubleweave macros
because while abilities will register 'i have been pressed, so I will activate when i can'
macros cannot
they will simply fail
so once i finish my 123 onky then i can use it?
no, it's not like that
just if you are in ANY KIND of animation lock, GCD lock, anything that in that instant prevents you from using an action, the macro will not function
Do you know about the 'action queue', Wolf? Its where you can click any ability within the last 0.5 seconds of the GCD cooldown, and the game will be like "okay sure, I'll fire that next"
that's the reason many macros spam the same line over and over like for salted earth or dragon sight, because that increases the time span the macro has to execute
but i swift cast then use macro
swiftcast gcd does have animation
but idk if its animation lock
wait swift isnt hcd
gcd
just you try pressing swiftcast and raise and then tell me why you can't press raise the instant after swift
A macro cannot be queued, it will simply go horribly wrong. So you have to consciously wait until you're sure the GCD has rolled over before pressing a macro for it to work consistently.
ohh
anyone tried coordinate macro? 🤔 is it possible?
so you need to wait a tiny bit after pressing swiftcast to use the macro.
Actions normally have an input buffer of around ~.7 seconds
Macro action do not have that input buffer
ah in that case I'll stop using the raise macro
that's why macros are impractical, because you often have to consciously work around them
yeah
that'd be best
like <pos> but specific coordinate, i wonder how the hunt use it
What's the name of the AST card with a tree as its icon
Increases damage dealt by a party member or self by 6% if target is ranged DPS or healer, or 3% for all other roles.
Duration: 15s Additional Effect: Grants a Solar Seal when used in combat
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
A raise macro is fine, but you have to understand how it works and work around it. If you just assume it to work, it'll go wrong.
Oh I was right
Macros cannot put flags on custom coordinates
ok ty ty for confirming
they must be attached to a person/monster
yesh working around raise is tough ao I'll take the less risky path
oh wait, so it can. How to put macro on my coordinate?
through <pos>
You -could- make a macro with just the line /p Raising <t> and press that when you're about to swiftraise someone.
oh wait, i'm really slow ty 🤦♂️ -_-
just ask
So i my laptop crashed and im thinking if getting a new one
may be better suited for #technology-discussion potentially.
On my steam account i downloaed ffxiv using the free trial
If i redownload steam on my new pc
isn't that still similar to my raise macro except the text
with the whole input buffer issue
if you want a smooth one, make own seperate raise text macro and put it beside your raise hotbar...
so a macro raise and a normal raise?
and press that seperate macro right after you press your raise hotbar
yeah
assuming macro raise is? 🤔
dont think you need to macro raise
So i my laptop crashed and im thinking if getting a new one On my steam account i downloaed ffxiv using the free trial If i redownload steam on my new pc Do i go to free trial or download from the normal ffxiv
this is the macro
im trying to get rid of raise macros cos i didn't know about it not having the input buffer
free trial and just log back into your old account
it is saved to your account, not your pc
is there any turbo button for console?
Ok thanks
turbo button?
tf is a turbo button
standard controllers don't come with a turbo button. Dunno if PS4/PS5 has it as an option in accessibility controls.
is there a way to remove the 5 seconds black screen when alt tabbing while in fullscreen mod? or atleast make it shorter
use borderless window
Use borderless window

like if you press that button it will press the button repeatedly 😂
no
Due to how fullscreen works on windows, you'll always get the black screen
there are macros, but they are not recommended for combat
does turbo effect action time maneuver
the intense inputs you've to do
which is very difficult on a controller
especially with a bad ping
Yes, probably. Here's a secret though; besides start, all face buttons are fair game for quick time events
Any ideas what affordable gaming laptop to buy for mmorpg games prefferable below £700
So just roll your thumbs over all the face buttons and dpad
wait fr?
yep
i only press x and i think i almos broke my controller during shinryu dog farm
so i just press all the buttons instead of just x?
yeah
wish i knew that earlier
If you're on a DS4 you can just spin the dpad and do 360 motion inputs all day
Like some sort of fighting game grappler

Roll the thumb up right down left up right down left
unless you're one of those weirdos who plays fighters with the analog stick smh /s
ohh on the dpad not analogs gotcha
Are we allowed to do the ARR treasure maps like goatskin in a party?
The ffxiv input buffer is really generous and you don't actually have to stain yourself
Yes but there's not really a point without portal dungeons
Do the chest loot gets split up?
i felt like i was gonna lose my thumb during wol normal
thank god i dont have to press x anymore
Just want to bring my lower level friends for a few low level maps o have
yes
Oh. Its still fine I guess
The bar in wol normal drains really fast until the last ~30%, where pressing it 2-3 times a second is enough since you get a boost to the bar to 30% if you're below 30%
Thanks @obsidian patio @slate arrow !

After 4 years i've completely forgot how to play any of my jobs and i'm completely lost story wise, quest wise and job progression wise. Anyone have tips for a returner?
i saw wol normal guide on yt amd the dood was barely having issues during that input he was using controller whereas my thumb was going numb
i think he was using the dpad instead
what is your msq quest level, job guides can be found on the channel linked above
does anyone know what category of auto translate {raising} is from ?
i'm trying to find the jp equivalent of it
hey if i apply a glamour plate on a gear that is already glamoured will it change?
or do i need to dispell it
the other day i saw a sheath macro where my weapon glow can appear sheated
can anyone tell me what it is? is it the /bm and /sit one?
hey it seems like most players in zadnor are faster than i am, did i miss something? can i increase it somehow?
visit quater master and buy the riding map
vielen dank ;P
!action essence of the breathtaker
Increases poison resistance and movement speed, including mount speed, and increases evasion by 10%.
Effect ends upon reuse.
Cannot be used with other Essence or Deep Essence actions.
this also works on mount speed
nice ty
How does an idiot like myself send a retainer on a venture?
in the gold saucer how do you get the tickets/points
!faq mgpguide
bit outdated for a few values, but accurate for the most part.
Gates are basically fates for the gold saucer that occur every 20 minutes.
!faq retainer
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
assign them a class once you've completed the quest and then you can send them out for ventures
What kinds of items can retainers bring back from ventures
Hunting ventures: based on the class. Combat classes bring back monster drops like skins and meat, while gathering classes bring back stuff that they'd get.
16 hour Expedition ventures: mostly just allagan coins with a chance of rare venture-exclusive (usually) loot from the higher level ones
Quick Ventures: Pretty much everything that's not from savage content, extreme trials, or current endgame tier gear
can we get replica relics for 5.55 yet? and if so where
yes
how do i go about levelling from 46 to 49? MSQ requires me to get to 49
if you don't have the aurum vale dungeon, it's unlocked in vesper bay
More specifically, Nedrick Ironheart is the NPC with the unlock for AV
thanks!
Dzemael Darkhold's unlock quest is 'Fort of Fear' iirc and I believe is found by the Observatory in the Coerthas Central Highlands
on a scale of 1-10 how difficult is wol ex
compared to other shb ex? like 7 or 8
in general? uhh 6-7
its on the tougher side
but not super bad
does Darkhold have a lower level requirement than aurum or higher?
ruby is ezpz
probably the easiest/second easiest SHB EX
lower, level 44
why is wol ex more difficult
positioning?
mechs don't look that difficult
Waaaaay more mechs
Dzemael Darkhold is 44 - 46 while Aurum Vale is 47 - 49
they're also random in the order they'll appear
And longer
i'll go run that first to get me to 47 then
only if you do it while the boss is casting something
if not then he uses hallowed ground
but lb animation is long
the cast just needs to start during his casting
ohh
also i don't get how sometimes i get xp but there's a percentage right beside it, what does it mean?
im on the msq on rough seas
how far is ruby weapon
no spoilers
Means you would have gotten 100 exp normally and you have a 150% multiplier
ruby is unlocked after 5.1 or 5.2 msq i think
lol you start it in ala mhigan quarter i think
If me and a friend play on the same data center, but different worlds, does that affect us too much...? I am tempted to create a new character on his world because character transfer is not an option due to financial reasons, but I'd like to first know what the restrictions would be and if it's worth spending another few hundred hours doing MSQ and leaving my old glamours/mounts/progress 😄
oh
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
this shows all the main restrictions for being on separate worlds
big ones being that you can't share housing, can't be in the same FC, and can't mail items to each other
you can make a crossworld linkshell that lets you have a permanent chatroom together and it makes for easy communication if you want to just party up and do things together
I see, so it seems like if I wanted to play with him I'd have to really just quit my old char and make a new one
Damn, okay, thanks
well, define "play"
you can run all content crossworld
and you can hop over temporarily to do stuff on the open world
Run content as FC such as maps/fool around in houses and other social activities
maps can be done cross world
social activities can also be cross-world, see: people advertising clubs and other events in party finder
Hm, I'll give it a try and see how it goes, thank you very much 😄
whats best way to farm allegory nowdays
run roulettes as lvl 80
Expert, Level 80, Main Scenario, Alliance Raid, and Normal Raid should give decent amounts of Allegory in terms of roulettes
less emphasis on main scenario due to length
lvl 50/60/70 dungeon roulette actually gives the most allegory iirc? it gives 120 tomes
PotD is also an option if you need more after roulettes are done
whats the requirement of going to bozja?
participating in hunt trains also gets you a lot
ahh
you'll also need to finish the stormblood alliance raid series
You can go in on a class that is 71+, but you need to finish ShB to unlock it
and complete the shb relic weapon quest prerequisites
relic questline only unlocks after completing both 5.1 msq and the SB ivalice raids
just focus on msq for now and you should be good
finishing 5.0 unlocks a lot of new content
Hey im having an issue with one of my MSQ
are you having trouble completing a quest?
my money's on Agaric Fly Swarm 
i cant accept it im lvl 51 quest is lvl 50 but says quest isnt available dungeon requirement bowl of embers hard navel hard and howling eye hard but i dont have those
go do those quests at urianger
Go back to the Waking Sands in Vesper Bay
look for the quest A Recurring Problem in the Waking Sands, from Minfilia
oh ok thank you 🙂
if we can be all classes on one charecter why is there even an option to make more then one?
Some people like having alts, some people want to play on different data centers
Not every1 will want to have everything
nothing im missing out on by not having alts?
not really
Nope, purely ur choice
If u don't wanna fantasia, wanna have 2 statics, etc
a lot of people have alts for raiding ^
but no, you’re not missing out if you just have 1 character and stick to it
oh good
also come endwalker will i be better off leveling reaper whilst everybody else is doing it during early access or do i wait till ive done 6.0 story as somthing else?
Depends on what u wanna do. If u wanna main reaper, then do that
Get to 71 and spam bozja

if you want to be reaper through the 6.0 msq, then level it first
if you want to avoid spoilers and get the story done asap, do msq first
im talking about if i wait till ive done 6.0 msq will getting a grp after tht be harder
no
dps queues are more or less always stable
reaper isn’t limited time content after all
what rarity is pink
It won't be harder, just the usual DPS q times more or less
ah ic
oh i was wrong, green dungeon drops are higher
Do note that, assuming equal item level, different rarity/color doesn't matter if the item is
if crafted.
And the pink Aetherial items phase out pretty early on
I think you stop seeing them by the time you get to Brayflox
Aurum Vale is the last dungeon to have them
Wait AV has pink items?
yeah
Yep
pink accessories
Jesus so they're in every ARR leveling dungeon then
They used to have pink gear until they made dungeon gear for it
so far every dungeon ive been on has had pink accessories
so pink gear is lower than green?
more or less
A friend gifted me the steam version of shadowbringers but I play on the PC version can I redeem the key even though I play on non-steam?
Nope
The Steam version is separate from the SE version
Steam keys won't work with the SE version and SE keys won't work with the Steam version
what is the best method to get timeworn artifacts for the last Law and order stage of my relic?
So do I have to create a new square account to claim it on steam?
I just got to lvl 80 with my first crafter, and already learned 8 master books, are there more recipes to learn? I'm still mid ShB
@twilit arch do you know
Either do Delubrum Reginae 15 times or run floors 51-100 of POTD and hope you get lucky
You can add a new service account to your SE account. It's basically a new account, but lets you log into the game with your current info
I see that would let me log in on steam
Thanks guys
Can you examine other peoples gear when crafting? Or right click tell people?
you'll have to exit crafting to target people
how long heart like on housing to be refreshed?
Any data on the drop rate of the Byakko Mane from the trial or the drop rate from desynth of weapons? Lately I’ve been seeing several bulk sales of the mane, i.e. 50 byakko manes for 500k each (25mil total)
wow
does the relic weapon go beyond blades?

No, i535 is the final step
For HoH is it like every 10 floors you get a silver sac?
on an item in your inventory, what does the little blue X mean on the bottom left ?
that its not for your current job
hmm, first time i nopticed it .. thanks.
Hi all new player here, what's the difference between quest givers with a blue ! and others with ! and the + sign
