[short jasper]

Bear in mind, fastest is relative. Doing HW dungeons for a relic can be faster than doing 6 bitters in 40 minutes in Bozja, but it won't be faster than getting 6 bitters for free while doing 20/20/20 in bozja.

[hoary veldt]

So roughly how long would it take before i can create a character on one of the preferred servers?

[glossy flare]

less of a question of "how long" and more of "when"

[onyx anchor]

how do you get skyworker's singlet?

[glossy flare]

it usually works during off hours

1-4 am

[hoary veldt]

Ah.

[glossy flare]

bear in mind that the xp buff on a preferred server is nice but in no way required

if you don't want to wait

[turbid parrot]

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/

You can see status here

[robust light]

Can you unsubscribe then resubscribe again?

[turbid parrot]

Sure

[glossy flare]

bought via skybuilder's scrips or as a reward from fetes

[final steeple]

hello is there a way for me to have the lagacy movement but the standard character direction control with right click?

[hoary veldt]

I'm not waiting for the exp tbh i just want to be in a populated server

[turbid parrot]

Just like any other service that offers subscription

[glossy flare]

all of them are populated

[onyx anchor]

what're skybuilder's scrips?

[robust light]

If u unsubscribe, do u lose any progress?

[turbid parrot]

No

You just lose access to it

[glossy flare]

currency gained via fetes

[turbid parrot]

until you subscribe again

[onyx anchor]

i've never got them

how do you unlock the vendor for it?

[glossy flare]

the whole thing is tied to ishgard restoration

so go there, do stuff

get scrips

[turbid parrot]

@hoary veldt Just play on Light and join Lich if you don't want to wait :^)

[onyx anchor]

...?

[glossy flare]

or get it as a reward directly

Ishgard Restoration is a crafter and gatherer activity

you gather stuff or craft specific things and turn them in, then you get rewards

that's the gist of it

[onyx anchor]

oh

[coarse meadow]

If I pre order on pc can I get the items on playstation? I'm playing on ps right now but will switch to pc before the expansion

[onyx anchor]

crafter/gatherer

that explains it

[boreal storm]

It’s also a post 3.3 thing, so if you haven’t reached that

[turbid parrot]

I think PS and PC versions are different no?

[onyx anchor]

...ah

[glossy flare]

The licenses are different but the characters can be shared

So i assume if you preorder now and get the ps5 license later then yeah, you would have the rewards

[turbid parrot]

I mean they want to preorder on PC and play on PS now with those preorder items

and then switch to PC again before expansion

[glossy flare]

It might still work tbh

[coarse meadow]

The items get mailed right?

[dry vine]

How big is the drop rate of a given armor in a Dungeon? I've been running Swallows Compas to get the healer boots for a glam about 10 times by now and did not get the drop yet. How often do you need to run a dungeon on average to get a desired piece of gear?

[glossy flare]

hard to say for certain though

[little swift]

rng is rng

[turbid parrot]

It's hard to say for certain because Sony LOL

[pure pecan]

whatre you guys' go to reshade presets?

[little swift]

especially because its not a leveling dungeon

[coarse meadow]

I guess I'll find out lol

[turbid parrot]

If I had to guess I'd say that you will be able to access them

If you pick them up on PC

[rigid dove]

When grinding for exp in bozja, fates and the occational critical is all there is to it right? Im noz missing something?

[turbid parrot]

But who knows

[glossy flare]

nope, that's it

[rigid dove]

Good

[glossy flare]

you'll unlock more activities as your rank increases

but the principle stays pretty much the same

[rigid dove]

It is faster than the current dungeon even as tank right?

[glossy flare]

I think dungeon spam is still faster for leveling, assuming you have fast queue times

So often Bozja can be faster for dps jobs

[rigid dove]

They are slow af rn even as tank

[glossy flare]

well there you go, do Bozja then

[short jasper]

Each chest drops from a specific list, and has to cover 7 different classes of equipment. If you assume a given chest has 2 drops, and each can have one of two slots, that's two 1/14 shots at your gear. If that gear is chest, generally there's two chests that drop it for a total of 4 throws at the die. Each throw has a 13/14 chance to NOT get your gear, so 13/14 ^4 chance, or about 74%. 1-74% = 26% chance of getting a specific piece per run. So, chances are, it'll take a while.

That assumes every role has the same probability, and every slot has the same probability, no weapons in the mix, etc. Adjust math accordingly.

[ripe hound]

Crafting is like one of the activities that cost a surprising amount of teleportation fee right?
As in, "I can buy this item from a random vendor in Limsa", "This item is sold only by NPC in Eulmore", "Let me gather some stuff rq", "Hop back to Limsa to world travel and find a better price", etc.

[pseudo pulsar]

Does big races, like Au Ra males feel weird when you play squishy jobs. Like 2.10m tall ninja ?

[ripe hound]

Not really, Ninja isn't too particularly Squishy

[little swift]

its only weird if you make it weird zenko

[ripe hound]

Most squishy is like... RDM or SMN or something

[frail fulcrum]

What if I accidentally discarded a Bozja note from a quest? Should I close my account?

[ripe hound]

But I do feel like a 2.10m Dancer looks a bit intimidating

[turbid parrot]

Fabulous*

[little swift]

please only be in this channel commenting if you're helping or asking a question

silly comments do not constitute as such

[ripe hound]

Almost all crafter skills are useful right?

[ripe hound]

Are there any particular useless crafter skills?

[little swift]

arguably the name/brand of the elements skills become much less valuable later on

[dry vine]

Thank you. Back into the Temple I go .__.

[ripe hound]

Oh right, forgot about it lol

[little swift]

and hasty touch is only really for fishing quality if you hve nothing else

but for the most part everything else is pretty useful

hasty touch included in expert recipes to some degree

[ripe hound]

But even Waste Not can be useful if you use it with the 20 durability actions right?

I see

[little swift]

yah waste not can be a cheaper alternative to wn2

[karmic lagoon]

Is POD useful for getting severely OP?

[ripe hound]

Yeah, Hasty touch is like, super helpful early game I guess

I'm currently mostly using Manipulation

[little swift]

and i guess final appraisal kinda meh now unless you're severely overgeared for the craft

[little swift]

no, finishing your msq is

[ripe hound]

Since it felt cheaper than Waste Not II in most cases

[ripe hound]

What's POD? POTD?

[karmic lagoon]

@ripe hound Correct

[glossy flare]

If you mean potd then no

[karmic lagoon]

Typo

[glossy flare]

potd is nice for leveling but nothing in the rewards is anything beyond cosmetic

[ripe hound]

oh lol,
Also Trained Eye is basically the ultimate "I Win" button right?

[little swift]

trained eye only works on crafts 70 and under atm

[pseudo pulsar]

@little swift It's more about the armor/skin. For example i wouldn't play a Roegadyn ninja, or a Norn assassin in Gw2 ^^

[little swift]

again thats what you make of it zenko

if you hate it than it impacts how you feel about it

[twilit arch]

trained eye is more like "i don't want to spend several steps to HQ an item that's 10 levels below me"

[little swift]

suspension of disbelief tbh, you play what you want to play

its personal choice in the end

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I feel a bit weird having this skill... but I guess it make sense, since you almost can't mess up any recipe 10 levels below you

[little swift]

its nice to have

[twilit arch]

its basically a qol skill

[little swift]

saves you the effort

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[cyan grove]

Anyone on the steam version get their playing status to stick?

[ripe hound]

If I want to make money as End game Crafter, it's generally just about finding supply holes on the Market Board, and fill them in if you can right?

[little swift]

or flipping the MB

[ripe hound]

As in, for high demand high supply items, the margin of profit seems really thin?

[little swift]

its dependent on how the materials for those items are obtained

if you're buying them then ofc the profit margin is smaller

[worthy basin]

find an obscure market but sells well, then build your market there.

[ripe hound]

What does Flipping the MB mean? Buy out all supply and sell high?

[little swift]

buying thigns at a low price

and selling higher

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I guess making money wise, skills in playing the MB is more important than skills in Crafting and Gathering

[wispy basalt]

do dyes takes long to deliver via moogle ?
or instant after purchase in mogstation

[ripe hound]

Still, they are two heavily entwined skills

tbh I guess I do have enough money to buy out a small niche market on the MB now... it just feels a bit too risky

[smoky quest]

hi friends! how rare is it to get a medium house for a free company during this time where you are just hoping for a plot to be listed for sale??? My FC is really excited about getting a house!! Im just trying to learn everything i can about housing so our fc can have one :3

[little swift]

can take up to a bit of time

[modest igloo]

those tend to be kinda rare and take time

[little swift]

make sure to use the request delivery button as you can

[wispy basalt]

Thank you

[modest igloo]

we call it "housing: savage" for a reason

[manic rune]

it’s gonna be near impossible until 6.1 new housing unless you get super lucky

medium and large houses are ridiculously in demand

[smoky quest]

LOL I figured x((( thank you though :3 we have everything ready for it, just need the plot T°T

[manic rune]

bc they’re so limited

[jovial quarry]

Mmmmmmmmm at the moment it might be difficult. As the wind down until next expansion continues however, some houses may become available due to lapsing players relinquishing houses.

[smoky quest]

good to know!!! thank you!!!

[leaden ginkgo]

if i dyed a chest and then put it inside glamour storage it will save as dyed or normal ?

[smoky quest]

6.1 is the new expansion? right?

[atomic jewel]

how do I hear my characters voice?

[jovial quarry]

It’ll retain its dye

[atomic jewel]

is there an emote I can do to hear it

[modest igloo]

if anyone in your FC is living in diverse timezones that may help

[manic rune]

6.0 is new expac, 6.1 is the first major patch after it

[leaden ginkgo]

so it will stay right ?

[modest igloo]

camping out for those plots help

[ripe hound]

6.0 is the new expansion, 6.1 is abour 2-3 month after it

[manic rune]

we are currently in patch 5.55

[smoky quest]

is it worth it to try and start with a small house? we have like 20 people in the FC :0 thank you guys for all the help you are wonderful!!

[modest igloo]

that might be a good idea

[manic rune]

yes, small house is more achievable. also you can relocate to new plots instantly

[modest igloo]

bc once you get a house you can transfer to a mieduim or large

[manic rune]

that’s how most people get to medium or large houses

[modest igloo]

and relocate without any hassle

[manic rune]

bc you bypass the rng timer

[leaden ginkgo]

pff

[smoky quest]

omg thats awesome!!! that is helpful thank you!!!!!

[manic rune]

otherwise you’ll be sitting there clicking a placard for hours just to see someone else relocate in

if there’s a small plot available, i recommend you guys get it so you can get started on fc workshop and other stuff w airships and subs

also, if you relocate, fc rooms get moved as they are while the furnishings in the main fc house get taken down

so keep that in mind

[smoky quest]

awesome thank you!!!! i will start hunting for small houses :)

[smoky quest]

thank you so much!!!!!!

[coarse meadow]

After I purchase an expansion on playstation, does anyone know where to get that registration code?

[faint flare]

Ps4 automatically does the code stuff for you when you open/log in

Just sign in with your mogstation account

[jovial quarry]

Yeah if it’s dyed before you put it in the chest, the dye will stay.

[umbral nest]

question: only healers can revive?

[faint flare]

Summoner and red mage can

No one else in regular content

[umbral nest]

so how can you bring back your healer if they die

[ripe hound]

Hope you have a SMN or RDM

[umbral nest]

ah

[manic rune]

if not you’re likely going to wipe

it happens

[coarse meadow]

Thanks

[ripe hound]

In 4 man content it’s just that

Or PLD be like “Look at me, I am the healer now”

[frail fulcrum]

What if I accidentally discarded a Bozja note from a quest? Will I get it again or should I close my account?

[faint flare]

Contact support probably

[manic rune]

they can get back a discarded item for you, but only once, ever

think about if that’s worth it to you

[modern arrow]

Are leve allowances account wide???

[twilit arch]

no

[jovial quarry]

They’re character specific

[modern arrow]

Why does my alt that i made at the beginning of the week only have 89 then hmm

[jovial quarry]

They start at 0 and get I think 12(?) every day.

[modern arrow]

ooo

[twilit arch]

6 every day

[modern arrow]

6 every 12 hrs actually

[faint flare]

3 per 12 hours

[modern arrow]

oh yeah has to be if im at 89

[round tiger]

any idea how much % dmg boost per stack?

[modest igloo]

we estimate around 5%

[faint flare]

3-5% people are saying

[round tiger]

i try to kill rank 3 enemy with 2 and 8 , i cant feel the different

[patent citrus]

what's the cost of adjusting relic stats?

[gritty oracle]

400 poetics. Have to buy 4 aetherial sealant

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty...

[lusty quartz]

are there any addons that help with mechanics? in WoW there is DBM, is their an equivalent in FF14?

[wispy parcel]

There probably is

[somber bobcat]

silly question but is there a discord list channel? I'm trying to find a good place to find a party to run Dalriada

[wispy parcel]

but you'll have to look for it since the only addon thats commonly used is ACT for DPS

[teal isle]

anyone know which CE spawns the zadnor lyon duel?

[round tiger]

ACT is the name

[wispy parcel]

just remember addons are against ToS in XIV so dont talk about it in game

[lusty quartz]

ok I will look into it thank you!

will do! >.<

[faint flare]

Hypertuned Havoc chain

!faq act

[zinc orbit]

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

[faint flare]

Above

[leaden ginkgo]

guess imma try diadem once again
Is there a route for nodes i need to follow
Or just gotta wait til item that i actually want spawn?

[lusty quartz]

@faint flare Thank you!!!

[azure ivy]

are certain levequests locked behind other leve for ARR relic books?

[twilit arch]

the ARR levemetes have more leves available than what are shown

[leaden ginkgo]

does this mean i can change to a lvl 50 job? or do i still need to "finish" the main story line

[twilit arch]

so sometimes you need to pick up a leve and complete it to get the levemete to shuffle

[azure ivy]

Ok thanks, these books are hell

[jovial quarry]

No but the pool for each levemete is one or two larger than they can display. Meaning you may need to clean the list and repopulate it

[leaden ginkgo]

Isn't ACT just a parser? Is there a plugin for it that acts as a combat timer/tracker?

[faint flare]

Just means a new job quest is available from your trainer

Same with the other times its appeared

The job quests you SHOULD be doing

[serene widget]

how can i find people to do shinryu extreme?

[faint flare]

Party finder

[leaden ginkgo]

welp that sucks, gonna be 70 by the time im done with the story

[boreal storm]

You could obtain the stormblood jobs the second you hit 50

[serene widget]

for me it shows all the parties are locked

[faint flare]

Make your own

[leaden ginkgo]

i am, was doing lvl 50

[faint flare]

You can swap jobs if you want to suck up exp

Stop doing roulettes

To let story catch up

[leaden ginkgo]

i just wanna go dark knight, but gotta get the story to lvl 50

and im at 40

[hearty mango]

you'd have to do post arr too after reaching the level 50 story

[faint flare]

You need story to Ishgard

[boreal storm]

You gotta beat all of ARR

[faint flare]

Which is 80 quests after Ultimate weapon

[leaden ginkgo]

whats arr

[hearty mango]

a realm reborn

[faint flare]

The start of the game

Everything before heavensward

[leaden ginkgo]

yep gonna be lvl 70 by the time im done

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't think there's a true combat tracker like DBM was. ACT is a parser like recount or skada. As far as I know there isn't an equivalent to DBM or bigwigs for 14

[hearty mango]

dark knight is a heavensward job

[faint flare]

You're not

Post arr stuff doesn't give any zp

[hearty mango]

no you're most likely gonna be like level 54 or so

[faint flare]

Or extremely minimumal

[hearty mango]

at least that's what I was at at the end of post arr

[leaden ginkgo]

im already 52 and quest is lvl 41

[faint flare]

The post arr quests give you 4k xp

[leaden ginkgo]

xp server

[hearty mango]

maybe 56-57 or so

[boreal storm]

Level an alt?

[faint flare]

Well preferred server will naturally overlevel you

[little swift]

there's cactbot plugin that can help tell you when mechanics are coming and when cooldowns are aligning

this is obviously on top of the parsing portion of ACT

and you can set up various triggers as well based on what you need

[lusty quartz]

darn

[leaden ginkgo]

Tell that to the guy who asked for one then.

[hearty mango]

more often than not when we say you need x level for something, we mean the msq level

[little swift]

read above

[hearty mango]

but you can get rdm and sam at level 50

those don't have msq requirements

[boreal storm]

Then DNC and GNB at 60, same non-requirements

[lusty quartz]

where is the cactbot located?

[rose oak]

how do you check if you are in a busy zone ? cant deal with this groups that cant do a CE

[little swift]

its an additional plug in you can implement to your act

[jovial quarry]

In Eureka/Bozja? Open the Player Search window. It’ll show you the players in your instance.

[rose oak]

how long can i leave a key unactivated if i buy one now?

oh i c! @little swift

[modest igloo]

[leaden ginkgo]

what do i need to put an armor into glamour storage

[manic rune]

glam prisms

[stable hinge]

Thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

and where is that

[manic rune]

you can buy them from your grand company

for gc seals

[leaden ginkgo]

cheap ?

[manic rune]

or get them from the marketboard

200 seals each iirc

[jovial quarry]

Glamour prisms can be bought from your GC, the market board, or crafted yourself.

[leaden ginkgo]

About what time do i get flying?

ok thanks

[modest igloo]

!faq flying

[zinc orbit]

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

Does ff14 still have a recruit a friend feature? I can't find it in the Mog station

[true verge]

im trying to start deep dungeon and im level 80 but when i went to new gridania i dont see the quest line for it

[manic rune]

there is and it’s still in there

it’s a banner called recruit a friend

easily missable bc it looks like an ad

[sacred gate]

pffft

right in my freaken face, I was ignoring it because like you said, it looked like an ad

thank you

Is there a way to turn off other players effects like healing numbers or when the use their abilities

[faint flare]

Turn off pop up text in character configuration

[hoary breach]

New player in eu here, what's the best server for newcomers that has a friendly and active community? And how does the eu servers compare to the American ones?

[faint flare]

Any and they're the same

[heavy wadi]

[manic rune]

more non english speakers in eu servers

[faint flare]

!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

[manic rune]

generally pick a server closer to your geographical location for better ping/lower latency but it doesn’t matter too much

if you don’t already have friends on a specific server, any is fine

[hoary breach]

I heard that the NA servers have a more active market community

[heavy wadi]

not true

[manic rune]

markets are volatile and every item will be sold differently on different datacenters

[faint flare]

All markets are active

[manic rune]

it’s not really something that should affect picking a world

[hoary breach]

Ah I see

[manic rune]

and yeah, the player economy in the game is very solid and active

[hoary breach]

Also, is it true that when endwalker releases anyone can go to different data centers?

[heavy wadi]

yes but we don't really know what it'll entail

[manic rune]

yes, temporarily. we don’t have more specifics at this point though

[hoary breach]

With the same character

Ah okay

Thanks guys

you might’ve forgotten about it since it’s a very early unlockable quest

[jolly sorrel]

Is there any way to make smaller or otherwise disable SMN bahamut-egis? They're so.. in the way.

im still new to a lot in the game, got my first lvl80 recently and mostly done with post-game shadowbringers, I know of Relic weapons but I'm not sure where I start

[jolly sorrel]

→Changes your Demi-Bahamut display settings. These settings will not apply to other players.
I misphrased my question, sorry. other peoples Bahamuts are in my way

[faint flare]

You need to do the lv70 24mans

Yes

It applies.to others

[manic rune]

the sizes are client-side

it applies to all smn bahamuts on your screen

[true verge]

which do i check under?

[faint flare]

All Bahamuts you see will be that size

[jolly sorrel]

Oh, huh. In that case, "will not apply to other players" is a weird phrasing to me. Glad it works though, thanks.

[manic rune]

search for the title “the house that death built” in your journal

[true verge]

okay it says i did complete it

[manic rune]

then talk to the wood wailer expeditionary captain in quarrymill (?) iirc

[brave dawn]

How does someone join the novice network? I have a friend that's new to the game but doesn't have access to it

ask in a crowded city

ah gotcha, ty 👍

Holy cow, 3rd time playing ARR, and just noticed that they now give you 12 letters to teleport for free to Vesper Bay (the waking sands)

[faint flare]

Added in 5.3

[rigid dove]

What do you guys think is the most requested class rn, like in statics

[faint flare]

Ones played well

[manic rune]

subjective and depends on the static

the skill of the player matters more than their job

[rigid dove]

Wait maybe requested is the wrong word.

"sought after" maybe?

[manic rune]

played? in general?

there are stats on fflogs

[faint flare]

Same answer

[rigid dove]

....

[manic rune]

all jobs have a place in savage

there’s no meta like wow

There's a number of statics out there with different slots that need to be filled

I know it's a nebulous non-answer but it's true. There is no single end all be all job. What you bring to the table matters far more.

[faint flare]

Some that need tanks, some need healers, some need dps

[swift palm]

can smb tell me how i get to lower la noscea? heres no ship at the docks

[little swift]

the most sought after is competence

job is less important since another group will always be looking for what you play

[manic rune]

play a job well and you won’t have trouble finding a static

[little swift]

use the available recruitment channels here and in whatever DC you have

and communityfinder

or reddit

[proud willow]

There is an exit to Lower La Noscea from Upper Limsa Lominsa

or by attuning to every shard in the city, you get access to teleport out to Middle or Lower from any shard

[sacred gate]

I know paladins get a healing spell, but how useful is it? If I'm playing with a friend, will it come in handy? And at what level would I get it?

[faint flare]

Only useful solo

You don't actually use it in group Content. Healing isn't your job

[little swift]

it has quite the opportunity cost of wasting a damage gcd and potentially breaking a damage combo

not really used in regular play

only in soloing/all tank runs or when things are literally going to shit

[faint flare]

Great solo/full tank runs...shit everywhere else

[sacred gate]

Bummerino

[manic rune]

clemency might end up saving you from a wipe but that’s very rare and you shouldn’t be regularly using clemency to heal up when you have a competent healer

[swift palm]

how do u guys like the rogue? like is it easy to play

[sacred gate]

So if I like healing, I should just stick to a healer? There's no hybrid roles?

[faint flare]

Clemency is always Hp neutral or Hp negative in dungeons

[manic rune]

you can use clemency to proc divine veil but apart from that...

[quaint brook]

Nope

No hybridd

[faint flare]

Cause you delayed the kill of the enemy, which means they have done more damage

[manic rune]

stick to a healer if you like healing, but keep in mind healers will all be dpsing too

and healers can do very good damage

[heavy wadi]

^

Healer dps is vital

[fiery pagoda]

should i be doing "gift of the archmagus" repeatable quest multiple times?

[quaint brook]

There's only the versatility of switching roles whenever you want

[manic rune]

a white mage bursting damage in lvl 80 dungeons can outdps the rest of the party easily

[faint flare]

Only if you're doing heavensward relics

[quaint brook]

If you r doing heavenward relic yes

[faint flare]

Ignore it otherwise

[fiery pagoda]

i dont know what relic is

[faint flare]

Grindy, shiny glamour

[fiery pagoda]

oooo

shiny glamour is it

[hearty mango]

glowy weapons that require a lot of grinding

they have different stages to them that each look different

[manic rune]

very shiny, lots of effort

[heavy wadi]

Here's the final gnb one, for example

[manic rune]

probably a bad example to show how shiny they can be

!iglam sharpened rod of the black khan

[zinc orbit]

**Sharpened Rod of the Black Khan** **:** Two–handed Thaumaturge's Arm

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[manic rune]

relic weapons used to be good as actual gear but not anymore apart from current expac relics

[manic rune]

so the old ones are just for glamour

[jovial quarry]

Rogue turns into Ninja. It has a lot of off GCD skills and has one of the best utility skills in the game in Trick Attack. It also gets some fancy high damaging skills in the upper 70s. It's a relatively easy job to learn but you'll be pressing a lot of buttons later on.

[hearty mango]

you may want to look up the stages for your class' relic weapons because there is a ton of grinding involved and they don't always look great

at least imo

[sacred gate]

Oh no, I like dpsing as a healer, it's just I've already done whm/sch on a different character, and now my friend wants to start blm and I'm trying to avoid leveling sch again. I feel like I should try something else, but I play MMOs to be a healer. So I'm conflicted. I liked paladin when I played it, and if the heal were actually useful ala holding threat in FF11 or as self-sustain like in WoW, I would love it.

[heavy wadi]

If you want a more self sustaining tank, go for warrior

[final quarry]

is 5.56 going to remove the lockouts on edens promise?

[manic rune]

we don’t know

[sacred gate]

but then I can't heal others

[faint flare]

You can

[sacred gate]

what wait

[faint flare]

With nascent flash

!action Nascent flash

it would be kinda rude if they didnt remove the lockouts before 6.0 😦

[sacred gate]

....?!

[manic rune]

have you tried astrologian?

[sacred gate]

I haven't

[faint flare]

You give the target a buff that heals them for half the damage you do

And 10% mitigation

Combined with gauge spenders nascent can basically be a full heal for no damage lost

[heavy wadi]

WAR at endgame is pretty much unkillable if you play it right, has a lot of self heals

[true verge]

does deep dungeon exp affect my normal exp

[faint flare]

Gunbreaker can also put a regen on others every minute

[sacred gate]

But Clemency isn't used...

[manic rune]

yes you can level up from potd

[faint flare]

Clemency is shit cause it's a gcd

[true verge]

wats potd?

[manic rune]

in fact it’s one of the best ways to level up to 50

[sacred gate]

[faint flare]

Nascent and aurora aren't GCDs

They're free

Clemency has a cost

A heavy cost

[modest igloo]

clemency isnt damage, nascent flash is on top of damage

[manic rune]

palace of the dead is a deep dungeon

[hoary veldt]

Damn spriggan was up for 5 seconds to make a char before it went down again :/

[manic rune]

there are two in the game rn

[heavy wadi]

Palace of the Dead, and Heaven-on-High

[jovial quarry]

Palace of the Dead is one of two Deep Dungeons. Randomly generated rogue-lite dungeons that are decent for getting around DPS queues.

[true verge]

should i wait to im highwe level to do the other one?

[faint flare]

Potd is for 1-60 levelling

Hoh is for 61-70 levelling

[manic rune]

you have to complete potd up to floor 50 to unlock hoh

[faint flare]

They're completely separate

[true verge]

oooooh ok

[faint flare]

Functionality

[manic rune]

and hoh has msq progression requirement up to stormblood

[sacred gate]

Would you recommend astrologian? How does it solo?

[manic rune]

all classes can solo content that’s designed to be done solo

if you’re talking abt overworld content then you’ll benefit from a dps chocobo

[sacred gate]

But is it fun to solo?

[manic rune]

but being a healer there’s usually no issue with being killed by random mobs unless you’re severely underleveled for the area you’re in

uhhh

[leaden hedge]

So if you need to beat patch 2.55 to be able to progress to 50-60 quests for skills, how far into the MSQ do you need to get for 60-80?

[manic rune]

this game doesnt really have a lot of solo content tbf

[faint flare]

Enter stormblood for the lv70 skill

Rest are automatically given to you

By levrl

After lv60 only the 70 skill is quest locked

[sacred gate]

Okay, better question, how fun are they to dps? Spamming Holy was pretty fun, ngl

[manic rune]

all healers kinda play similarly when it comes to dps skills

you have your gcd damage, a dot, and an aoe skill

[sacred gate]

ah

[dire prawn]

AST's Gravity casts at the target instead of around you so you don't need to be in melee range, but it doesn't stun

[jovial quarry]

AST's equivalent of Holy is interesting in that it isn't centered on you. It's based on your target's location.

[quaint brook]

But it looks amazing

[sacred gate]

Are the cards actually useful or just a gimmick?

[manic rune]

useful

it’s a damage buff

[quaint brook]

Useful, give DPS buff

[dire prawn]

AST's Malefic and Combust also deal less damage than WHM's Stone/Glare and Aero/Dia

[leaden hedge]

@faint flare Gotcha, so in order to unlock the level 80 fishing skill I'm going to need to beat stormblood?

[dire prawn]

And the cards are beyond useful

[faint flare]

That's automatic

[dire prawn]

6% damage boost if used on the right target

[leaden hedge]

Oh for the level 70 skill quest then?

I need to beat stormblood?

[quaint brook]

Yes

[faint flare]

The last quest locked skill is lv70

[manic rune]

ast deals less damage bc they have higher party utility and allows other players to dps more

[dire prawn]

8% once you reach 50 and unlock Minor Arcana and gain access to the Lord and Lady of Crowns

[faint flare]

Which requires stormblood story access

[sacred gate]

so hard to choose

[quaint brook]

Not beat, just ur job quests done

[leaden hedge]

Fuhhhhhhhhhhhh- I still have so much longer to go lol.

[quaint brook]

And also if the quest takes u to a area u don't have ud need that aswell

[dire prawn]

WHM starts at Lv 1 CNJ while AST starts at 30 :^)

[quaint brook]

Sage starts at 70

Stabby healing beams, can't wait

[sacred gate]

Oh, that actually makes a diff, thanks

[shrewd mirage]

Will i get subscription if i pre order endwalker or? Do i have to do that separat ?

[quaint brook]

Separate i believe

[faint flare]

You don't get gametime with expansions

[quaint brook]

Whoops mt

[faint flare]

But you need to own the game to use the preorder code

[shrewd mirage]

Thanks

Can i preorder the game on my phone or do i need to do it on my computer?

[faint flare]

You can...you just put the code into your mogstation

When you receive it

[shrewd mirage]

Awesome Thank you

[umbral nest]

how do i use shirk without wanting to fuck someone over

[fading helm]

does anybody know how you get the dust bunny hat thing?

[clear shoal]

Hi, i'm trying to switch over to using a controller, but I'm seeing this thing in videos that my game isn't doing. When tapping (not holding) the right bumper, it shows it cycle through the specific hotbars chosen in the options. Or, if you hold the right bumper, you can manually select a hotbar. Mine doesn't do the quick cycling thing from just tapping that button.

[quaint brook]

From old treasure maps, i believe peisteskin

[fading helm]

how do u get that?

[rough fossil]

How do you log in to multiple characters at the same time? Is it enough just to have two different systems?

[manic rune]

you need multiple service accounts

[quaint brook]

U either gather it yourself or marketboard

[manic rune]

logging into the same account on 1 computer logs you out of the other one

[rough fossil]

Got it, thought that might be the case

[manic rune]

people who afk in big cities with multiple characters are paying multiple subs

[quaint brook]

Idk how they can spend so much unless they r whales

[manic rune]

they can clearly afford to do it, so not really my place to judge

[fading helm]

i searched up peisteskin on the marketboard, only armor pieces come up

[quaint brook]

Search timeworn

[fading helm]

oh and then i get teimworn peisteskin map?

[quaint brook]

Yea

[fading helm]

what is this like aquest or something?

[obsidian patio]

In character config for hotbar settings, you should be able to select what crossbars you cycle through with your weapon out.

[fading helm]

ive never done these

[quaint brook]

But it'd rng on what u get ofc

[rough fossil]

I don’t mind at all - the only person it really affects is the person paying for the convenience of multiple accounts. Makes no difference to other players or the game really

[quaint brook]

First u need to do a quest to unlock the skill dig

[obsidian patio]

!faq treasuremaps

[zinc orbit]

What are Treasure Maps?

Treasure Maps are a party activity where players are required to find the location in the overworld and clear waves of mobs in order to reap the rewards. Maps can be gathered once per 18 hours by a gatherer of the appropriate level and are unique, thus only one map can be held at a time.

Deciphering the map.

In order to actually use the timeworn map you've acquired, you must first complete the quest Treasures and Tribulations which will allow you to convert the timeworn map into a usable map.

What maps do people usually gather?

Timeworn Dragonskin Map (Level 60, Heavensward)
Timeworn Gazelleskin Map (Level 70, Stormblood)
Timeworn Zonureskin Map (Level 80, Shadowbringers)

Map Dungeons

Each of the three treasure maps mentioned have a 50% chance to create a portal which will take the party to a special dungeon full of treasure and riches, but only if you pass the game of chance.

Hi! quick question, I am having problems with GFX. My game during the day in like forst areas looks just horibly contrasted and bright.. any way to fix this?

[outer plank]

whats the fatest way to do "the resistance remembers" the one where i need to get 18 dying and 18 vexious dying memories

[sacred gate]

looks like distance fog?

[urban echo]

If I have the trial downloaded and I purchase the game

Will I have to download

Again

[wind gale]

its not the fog, look at the grass and trees

[jovial quarry]

Arguably fates in SB zones. One kind comes from Gyr Abania zones, the other from Othard.

[outer plank]

ughhhh fate farming, ew

ok fine

[sacred gate]

I think that's just the way the game looks. It's a bright game.

[outer plank]

any prefer zones

[manic rune]

the lochs

[jovial quarry]

The Lochs and the Steppe since they're highest levels.

[empty kestrel]

so i know after you complete the story theres a ton of quests you gotta do until you unlock ishgard. How many is it exactly?

[wind gale]

like look at this

[manic rune]

around 80 or so

[short jasper]

I recommend Lochs and Azim Steppes--Lochs has Fates you don't need to synch for as a level 70 BLU, and Azim's got a few like that as well

[faint flare]

80 after Ultimate weapon

[modest igloo]

[sacred gate]

Are you standing in a shadow?

[clear shoal]

Thanks. I had that turned on but it still wasn't working. I think I have it figured out though. I had emptied all my bars as I figured this thing out and was just watching the set number at the bottom to test these things. Turns out it won't quick switch to empty bars. I put a skill on each bar and now it's cycling through them fine.

[sacred gate]

it can affect textures

[wind gale]

i dont find that in cities just forests with grass and small detailed ambient stuff

[gilded forge]

It's 50 logram actions for the Eurka armor right?

[wind gale]

[faint flare]

Yes

[agile laurel]

potentially just try reshade

[wind gale]

• i have brightness to the min

I tried, it doesn't help 😭

[manic rune]

turn down your game gamma?

[wind gale]

its at 0 xD

[fading helm]

are there any cheap pants that look like jeans ish

or just like regular pants

[hearty mango]

It's not exactly completing the story cause the extra quests are also part of the story, but once you beat base arr you'll still have about 80 msq quests plus crystal tower which I think is about 10 or so quests

[short jasper]

Bearing in mind, 'number of quests' isn't indicative of actual length of time.

An ARR MSQ quest is nowhere near the length of time as a ShB MSQ quest. Cutscenes yo

[empty kestrel]

i mean i skip 100% of the scutscenes so.

[dire prawn]

This is 100% the wrong answer

[agile laurel]

this's an ff game before an mmo. dunno what you're rushing to but it'll likely hurt the experience.

[pure zenith]

300%

[dire prawn]

They're new to the game so they're rushing to an early ending since they won't know what's going on :^)

[heavy wadi]

There's absolutely no reason to rush, especially since we're now in the content lull before EW.

[empty kestrel]

I paid attention a bit at first but the story just doesnt seem good to me, so I dont really care lol.

[pure zenith]

yeah but without it you wont understand all the good stuff later

[heavy wadi]

Not only is there not really much "new" content to do, people won't be doing higher difficulty content either because it's no longer relevant.

[agile laurel]

nobody'll say ARR is 'good'. you have a LOT to get through

[empty kestrel]

Plus most of the cutscenes I saw are dragged on way too long of just looking at.. Nothing. The camera just sitting there for no reason

[agile laurel]

you may as well understand wtf's happening so you don't go sunk cost

[empty kestrel]

If I get to where I wanna know whats going on, ill find a youtuber that does big story stuff, or compiles it together. Such as like Nobbel does for WoW

[pure zenith]

I dont know if FFXIV has a nobbel equivalent

[dire prawn]

You're only hurting yourself by skipping cutscenes

[empty kestrel]

I also just wanna rush to unlock dark knight since thats what i wanna play, plus black mage is really boring for me atm.

[timber fossil]

just let him play how he wanted lol

[agile laurel]

ff doesn't have a nobbel equivalent

you'd be on text guides, there's some in #archived-lore-spoilers

[hexed zephyr]

Hi everyone, I'm not really a "pro" at FFXIV, but I do try, my question is, I kind of need to find the right gear for Mining level 60 or plus, but on the internet I get a lot of different choices... Someone mentioned that it would be a good idea to get someone to make the gear ( blacksmith? )

So question is, is there maybe someone that could create these things for me that's suitable? I know it's not going to be for free, so, I would also like to know how expensive it would be 🙂 Thank you

[agile laurel]

common sense to advise someone not to throw away the majority of this whole game

[timber fossil]

@empty kestrel Comicstorian on youtube does a great job on summarizing

[empty kestrel]

Thanks

[timber fossil]

yeah, advise is good. but he already expressed several times that's not how he want to play. just let him be at this point.

[empty kestrel]

I also like to think im pretty good at following the story to a decent level jsut by what i am doing quest wise.

[timber fossil]

good for you.

i used the Comicstorian summary to remind me of the past story lines from
a long break. the difference with Comicstorian is that he's actually good at reading stuff. with tones ups and downs. not just reading in a mono tone like some of the other small youtubers.

if i get a additional retainer. will it take some time before i can add it in the game?

was i suppose to enter the pre purchase code or the collectors edition code?

[faint flare]

Only preordee

[strange coral]

Leonhart

[onyx kiln]

thx

[modest igloo]

just instead of aiming at enemies its at your hotbar

[rigid dove]

Hmm, gonna play around with that for a bit and see how that feels

[stray carbon]

whats the common courtesy of joining an extreme trial you've never done before?
do you just join the party, or ask the leader if you can join if its your first time?

[modest igloo]

look for a party that has practice on it, or "fresh prog"

[stray carbon]

alrighty

[dire prawn]

How many songs can I have active at one time as BRD?

[green grail]

one

[feral nebula]

Is the binding coil of bahamut in the 'normal raids' duty roulete?

[twilit arch]

no

it doesn't really have a normal mode, and at the time of their release they were effectively savage difficulty

so thats why its not in the normal raid roulette

[feral nebula]

err ok, wanted to clear it once for the bonus poetics, dont think will happen through duty finder

[twilit arch]

very unlikely, ye

can make a party finder to try and find people who are willing to go thru it with you

[thick agate]

after ARR i should just continue the msq through shadowbringers, huh?

[dire prawn]

You could ask somebody to solo Binding Coils for you for the poetics if you're in a FC

[dire prawn]

MSQ is life

[faint flare]

Yes you have to

The story is completely linear

[thick agate]

sweet

i dont need to worry about gear, the quests will help me right?

[feral nebula]

is it hard to do as a lvl 80 on unsync?

[faint flare]

No

[feral nebula]

i mean, i have healers on lvl 80, idk if i can solo

[faint flare]

It's all soloable

[dire prawn]

If you're 80 on a healer you can 100% solo it

Just play WHM and drop Afflatus Misery

[faint flare]

Turn 9 can be slightly ass but otherwise all can solo

[feral nebula]

will try

so far i only have up to turn 5

[dire prawn]

Though you'll probably kill them with Glare and Dia before you get to use Afflatus Misery

Yeah you'll get 6 - 9 then 10 - 13 after you do 1 - 5

[feral nebula]

ah ok

[dire prawn]

The First Coil, The Second Coil and The Final Coil

[feral nebula]

will try then

ty ty for the help

[humble epoch]

what materia do i want as astrologian?

also what do all the stats do?

[chrome relic]

wait so do i get the mount right away or when the dlc releses?

[faint flare]

Mount is collectors

So you get it at launch

[agile laurel]

mouse over them on your character page

[agile laurel]

and crit > dh > det

[turbid pilot]

I'm getting tilted trying to get a silver shark

I'm using lugworms in places where I can get a merlthor goby to mooch for the shark but it keeps telling me the bait can't catch anything there

and it looks like the main fishing resource I was using is dead, or on my end it its

[heavy wadi]

use this: https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Silver_Shark

[sacred gate]

Is there a button to "teleport to friend" instead of manually finding the zone and clicking it?

[leaden ginkgo]

A friend of mine is trying ffxiv for the first time. For the free trial. Do you need to sign up for mogstation?

[glossy flare]

yes

[remote lintel]

@sacred gate no

[glossy flare]

every account goes through mogstation, even trial ones

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok thanks

Also. If they end up liking the game should they wait for endwalker or just buy thr complete edition on sale?

[glossy flare]

depends on them, really

the trial goes up to the end of Heavensward, so that's quite a bit of content

[remote lintel]

do they want to wait 6 months?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hmm

[glossy flare]

Though I'd say it's unlikely to spend 6 months on it unless they go really slow

Still, may be worth waiting a while

[leaden ginkgo]

They probably only play once a day per week. They've been meaning to get into it

I don't want to rush them

[glossy flare]

If they can live with the free trial restrictions then it's definitely worth waiting for as long as possible

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok got it

[glossy flare]

it's free after all

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah I saw the restrictions

[barren granite]

is there a way to grab 1 item off a stack ?

[heavy wadi]

right click > split

[leaden ginkgo]

It's their first mmo so I hope they have a good time with it.

[barren granite]

sweet ty

[leaden ginkgo]

Have you any if you tried the free trial version? How is it?

[hearty mango]

Long as fuck

[modest igloo]

it was great

[hearty mango]

Great though

[modest igloo]

like 200 hours of free content

[remote lintel]

i played it to like level 8 then i just bought it

[boreal storm]

It’s fine, not locked out of most events so that’s cool

[leaden ginkgo]

Sweet

[digital thicket]

guys

what does this do?

[remote lintel]

thats aetherflow

your job gauge

[leaden ginkgo]

Aetherflow

Gives you access to some of your abilities

[glossy flare]

using energy drain will fill the 2 crystals

[leaden ginkgo]

Like energy drain

[glossy flare]

and you can then spend them via fester

[pearl mesa]

If I did LV60 Roulette already today but didn't get a Bitter Memory because I didn't have the quest yet, can I do it again and get one, or does it become part of the "daily rewards" that I already got?

[remote lintel]

the tutorial explained it to you

[leaden ginkgo]

What level are you?

[digital thicket]

i skipped a lot of stuff since i am stupid lol

20

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok

[glossy flare]

not tied to the roulette so you can still get one

it's just any lvl 60 dungeon

[pearl mesa]

Leveling roulette, sorry.

[leaden ginkgo]

Have you decided what job you want between smn and sch? You can level them both up at the same tine

[pearl mesa]

The journal says I can get one per day for doing leveling roulette, which I already did today but didn't get a memory.

[remote lintel]

go to actions and traits and click the question mark button at the bottom that says job gauge help @digital thicket

[leaden ginkgo]

Summoner is dps and Scholar is a healer

[glossy flare]

then no idea, but I'd say no

[pearl mesa]

Cool. Thanks.

[thick agate]

ive never used my materia gems

should i use them or save them

lol

[leaden ginkgo]

So they don't have access to retainers in the free trial right? Does the quest not pop up during free trial then?

[faint flare]

Materia is an endgame thing

[thick agate]

gotcha

[faint flare]

Retainers unlock in the story, they just can't hire any

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh

I have a free company house and they won't be able to access it right? Because they can't join an fc?

[remote lintel]

they can go in

[leaden ginkgo]

It's in shirogane so probably not.

[light lion]

Can I use red mage for dungeons lower than lvl 50?

[faint flare]

They can

[faint flare]

Yes

[remote lintel]

they cant then

[leaden ginkgo]

@remote lintel Yeah I thought so. Thanks for clarifying

[remote lintel]

they have no way to access shirogane

[faint flare]

Estate teleport via friend list...unless that's not trial

[boreal storm]

They can teleport through you, I’m pretty sure

[remote lintel]

you cant friend people on trial

[leaden ginkgo]

But we can add them but they can't add us

[boreal storm]

You can get friended, you just can’t initiate

[leaden ginkgo]

Oof

[modest igloo]

the free trial is more or less supposed to be for solo players to bait old-school FF players into the game

like me

[leaden ginkgo]

@modest igloo Got it.

I never tried the free trial. And don't want to create a new psn for it.

[modest igloo]

that's understandable

[leaden ginkgo]

I've been playing for a long time and most of my irl friends don't play mmos.

They saw reaper and was interested lmao

[modest igloo]

get them interested with reaper then tell them the best way to level is doing heavensward story

[leaden ginkgo]

@modest igloo pretty much yeah

[modest igloo]

then they;ll never leave, like me!

[leaden ginkgo]

@modest igloo Sweet

Well thanks for the help guys. Appreciate it. Have a good day/night!

[modest igloo]

np, if you have anymore questions just let us know!

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks again!

[feral nebula]

The only way of dealing with the conflagration in the turn 5 bahamut is to hav someone kill it or it fades after a while?

[modest igloo]

i think kill it, but i normally do the trial by unsynching it

[dim ridge]

I have a friend from South America who's seen a lot of laggy play more recently. Is there a way to see if it's his computer or if it's just lag? Because he's from South America he's not sure himself lol

[celest coral]

The heck. Some bug caused my left d-pad on my 360 controller to become the navigation one and vicer versa

[mild ermine]

Fastest way to farm Raw Emotions?

[modest igloo]

dalriada, and hells lid/the burn with BLU

[short jasper]

IF you're working on a different weapon's Timeworn step, it's faster in the long term to do that weapon's Timeworn step first, then walk out with both weapon's worth of Raw Emotions.

If you're NOT working on another weapon, then probably Dalriada and Hell's Lid/The Burn

[hallow hare]

Hello

I just finished the first dungeon. I’m level 27 atm. Should I run it more times to level get loot and learn to tank or just keep questing

[modest igloo]

msq gives you the loot you need

[boreal storm]

Keep progressing

[modest igloo]

you dont ever need to farm dungeons

[hallow hare]

Ok

I ah e a hard time doing msq o ou cause I don’t understand the map@so I just do everything available

It’s kind taking forever lol

[random girder]

are useless, just fyi

[faint flare]

Ignore yellow quests

[hallow hare]

I heard I was so pose to get dungeon at 15

Ingot it at 26

[crystal bluff]

msq level 15

[random girder]

yeah

[boreal storm]

Don’t forget to get those teleports

[faint flare]

Your level is meaningless

[random girder]

if anything, being overleveled just causes annoyance when you lose skills by being synced down

[true verge]

how do i unlock the great hunt on extreme

[faint flare]

In kugane where yoy unlocked the normal mode iirc

[celest coral]

How the heck do I re-set my controller so that the left D-pad is no longer for moving my toon

[rigid dust]

do i need mettle for anything besides Delubrum access, or am i free to spend it all on proofs of mettle?

[faint flare]

Nope

Just spend it all

[rigid dust]

nice~ tysm!

[faint flare]

Not like it's hard to get back or anything

[rigid dust]

fair enough!! cx

[brisk plaza]

Does anyone know a good way to lvl up?? I have to faint 3lvls 46-49 to do the next story quest and I’m not really sure what to do

[modest igloo]

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[faint flare]

Daily roulettes then highest level dungeon

[brisk plaza]

Ty

[feral nebula]

is there a way to see all mob around me without having to actually hit them (or get them through healing the tank)?

[glossy flare]

Aside from looking around yourself? no

Your target list consists of mobs you have some amount off aggro on

So to get them on there you need any amount of aggro

Via dmg or healing

[azure ivy]

are there ways to force fate spawns for the ARR book's fate step?

[modest igloo]

i think just keep doing fates tbh

there's no concrete way

[strange galleon]

starting off the game whats recommended to do first ?

[glossy flare]

Main story

[modest igloo]

MSQ

[glossy flare]

Always main story

[strange galleon]

is there anything that i get from it that i should not get rid of ?

[modest igloo]

main story is around 150 hours and unlocks most other content including raids

[short jasper]

MSQ and Class/Job quests. If it shows up in the red tracker bar at the top of your screen, or just under it, it's important to do.

[boreal storm]

Plot unlocks like 80% of content

[glossy flare]

There are no absolutely essential rewards from the msq, no

But you NEED to do it to unlock more content

[strange galleon]

k

[stable hinge]

what are the quickest alexander raids?

[modest igloo]

A1/A4 for relic

[short jasper]

For relic? A1n, A4n

[stable hinge]

Thanks

[last patio]

so decided to finally undertake the dumbo grind (or so I've heard) that is eureka elemental armor. is there a guide or some such out there with advice on how to go about it without wasting a ton of time? D:

[glossy flare]

a1n and a4n you mean

no need to do savage

[short jasper]

I caught it

[feral nebula]

Is there a % said somewhere of the chance of getting the 128 density for light farming?

[gusty storm]

is the scanning for style hair male only

[short jasper]

There's two ways you get it. The random chance (too slim to bank on) and windows. If a given instance is in a window, then that instance will give the bonus consistantly for about an hour or two.

[glossy flare]

no

[feral nebula]

in a window?what exactly does that mean

[gusty storm]

nice

[feral nebula]

there is a specific time to farm the dungeons and be guaranteed to get the bonus?

[glossy flare]

no hairstyle is genderlocked afaik

[dusky forum]

is it worth to put on the exp ear ring?

[glossy flare]

sure, no reason not to

[remote lintel]

there are gender locked hairstyles

[glossy flare]

Sad

[celest snow]

Hi! Just a quick question. When you've finished ARR and reached lvl 50 is there a lot you can do besides continuing the MSQ or is it advised to complete the entire MSQ including Shadow Bringers? I'm feeling a bit burned out from doing only MSQ for the past week trying to level up from 32 - 50.

[remote lintel]

do the crystal tower raids

[boreal storm]

Hard mode Primals

[strange galleon]

if i choose a particular data center can i change the servers in that data center or no ?

[glossy flare]

There are a few things you can unlock at 50, including the crystal tower raids which you need to do sooner or later to progress

!faq contentunlock

[zinc orbit]

Content Location FAQ

A Realm Reborn Content
Heavensward Content
Stormblood Content
Shadowbringers Content

[glossy flare]

check there for stuff that interests you

[modest igloo]

still costs money

[celest snow]

Oh, thank you all so much for the help!

[glossy flare]

You can however world visit to any world on your DC

and instanced content is also always cross world within a dc

[short jasper]

There's an entire 2 years of endgame from A Realm Reborn you could wet your teeth with at 50. It won't help you progress, but if you want a break or cleanser after a grind, why not just enjoy it for a bit?

[glossy flare]

like dungeon matchmaking for example

[modest igloo]

post ARR is a bit of a slog, but get through that and things pick up a LOT

trust us

[glossy flare]

Only some things are restricted to your home world. Like your FC and the market board

[short jasper]

And the story for ARR starts really getting decent around 2.3-2.4ish

[celest snow]

Yeah, I initially thought that Heavensward was up next for me but then i realized that I had another 100 or so MSQs which made me feel a bit burned out all of a sudden

[short jasper]

Number of quests do not matter.

[remote lintel]

its 80 quests

[hearty mango]

Do whatever you want. The msq isn’t meant to be taken all at once. You’ll get extremely burnt out that way

[feral nebula]

Any way i can know when are the windows exactly?

Or is random
