Can just abuse the weekly challenge log until you hit reflect farm levels if you absolutely hate it

wispy basalt
#

@whole waspjust incase can you give me a picture of it

whole wasp
#

!iglam eikon leather armguards of maiming

zinc orbitBOT
wispy basalt
#

better

outer mural
#

for armor it's kind of annoying:
you need 50 different 'logos actions' which are basically additional skills you get to use in eureka only

wispy basalt
#

thanks

outer mural
#

then you need to invest in materials for those in pyros

#

then in hydatos

whole wasp
#

the others i found are caster gear. :/

wispy basalt
#

👍

woven token
#

Do you want them for the markings or just to clip sleeves?

drifting atlas
#

Too much lel. Ill just get my weapon and see if the tank set is worth it

plain python
#

does magitek in FATE drop cluster too?

outer mural
#

realistically it's not that bad

#

but it is a handful

#

i do not think so momo

#

else i'd have a fuckton more

woven token
#

The tank set is the most worth it :p gorgeous

drifting atlas
#

From what i saw so far i just kill mobs/fates for those crystals and use them to exchange for better Eureka weapon?

outer mural
#

yes

#

and the pagos step i mentioned

terse nexus
#

out of curiosity can someone help me with a tech issue

outer mural
#

besides that it's the same for all 4

#

shoot asila

drifting atlas
#

I got some chests from fates, do those give Eureka related resources?

terse nexus
#

been getting code 90002 for the past 30 min

#

no clue whats wrong, pc working perfectly fine

obsidian patio
#

that just a general disconnect error

woven token
#

There are some housing items/glams/materia/junk/mounts in those chests. Nothing for relic progress though

outer mural
#

yeah general disconnect. if it is not your PC, ensure your connection is stable

whole wasp
outer mural
#

they don't actually

obsidian patio
#

an overactive virus protector might be triggering it too, if so then whitelist FFXIV

outer mural
#

they just give cosmetics

terse nexus
#

well considering im able to anything wifi based still and my roomates still able to play im pretty sure the connections stabe

outer mural
#

none of the chests give direct resources that contribute to the relicq uest

terse nexus
#

ffxiv is already whitelisted

woven token
#

Best "boost" in those chests is the mats to craft the exp boost potion.

whole wasp
#

huh

#

i thought it dropped crystals, guess not

drifting atlas
#

It didnt fir me

outer mural
#

well given the general nature of the warning i can't really point to specific solutions

#

try restarting

#

if not check anti-virus

#

restarting PC*

drifting atlas
#

They gave me a song and a mount tho pog

whole wasp
#

it sometimes gives eurekan potion but thats not very valuable

outer mural
#

yeah after going through like 5k boxes for a dino i can ensure you that zero crystals drop from it

#

you get demimaterial though

vital ruin
#

tea vs uwu vs ultima
which is more difficult

outer mural
#

tea

whole wasp
#

tea yea.

vital ruin
#

why

outer mural
#

apparently uwu and bahamhut DPS checks are really chill out

vital ruin
#

oh

outer mural
#

and the mechanics are not as hard regardless

vital ruin
#

tea has hard enrage?

outer mural
#

this is second hand from ult players in the balance who generally agree it's easier

#

they all have hard enrages

whole wasp
#

all ultimates have hard enrages

vital ruin
#

oof

little swift
#

the checks do still exists, the thing is scaling and stuff being adjusted at 70 has made it easier to accomplish

outer mural
#

TEA just has the tightest check just becuase of numbers alone

whole wasp
#

and all their hard enrages kill people one by one

vital ruin
#

i c

little swift
#

and you can't over sync past TEA's ilvl

outer mural
#

in addition to generally being agreed to just having hardest mechanics

#

including stillness

whole wasp
#

tea was designed for current toolkit too

outer mural
#

yeah

whole wasp
#

stillness haha

vital ruin
#

do people do ultimates via a vpn

outer mural
#

some classes are just dogshit feeling at 70

#

while others are just fucking busted

#

GNB does literally near full DPS levels of output at 70

woven token
#

Ninja without suiton is just sadge.

outer mural
#

do u mean meisui

woven token
#

I did yes lol

outer mural
little swift
#

is that a question?

woven token
#

My brain went the skill before

outer mural
#

yeah it does feel bad without it

little swift
vital ruin
#

people do ultimates with vpn?
does people with bad ping do ultimates?

outer mural
#

Sadge i was just trying to inform them of additional reasons why 70 toolkits make ults easier

#

ninja / red mage / summoner are pretty nutty there

#

machinist also up there iirc

little swift
#

you can do ultimates with or without vpn

outer mural
#

it's just imbalanced toolkits that also contribute to 70 ults being a bit easier

little swift
#

the vpn isn't what would make it harder

vital ruin
#

bad ping?

outer mural
#

i am sure people with bad ping do ultimates

vital ruin
#

ohh

outer mural
#

with additional difficulty because bad ping is, well, bad

#

VPNs don't factor into difficulty, it's just if you run one you might have better ping

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey how do I update Kupo bot’s !me command?

outer mural
#

which is the issue

scarlet sandal
#

I have like very little knowledge of how this works but wouldn't a VPN not doing nothing because you're ping is based on physical location

outer mural
#

log out of the game i think

#

it updates whenever i log off from what 've noticed

#

VPNs help route packets

manic rune
outer mural
#

they can and might directly lower lag

#

machinists in the balance literally recommend grabbing a VPN to play it

#

mudfish my beloved

leaden ginkgo
woven token
#

VPN can help with quite a few things without actually changing much. Slide casting for example is a lot more reliable on a VPN if your ping is on the high end.

manic rune
#

lodestone saves free trial characters too, it's automatic

#

you can't force a lodestone update

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh ok neat

#

By hourly do you mean like on the hour or halfway through or

outer mural
#

but yeah grab a VPN if you feel like your ping is ass

#

i recommend mudfish

#

my friend dook says it's worked wonders with his poopy florida net

scarlet sandal
#

I don't even know if i have bad or good ping

outer mural
#

you can check with xlplugins, there is a ping one

scarlet sandal
#

Does that require a pc in anyway

outer mural
#

but you would definitely notice if you have shit ping if you clip

#

oh you're not on PC, i see

#

yes it does sadly

scarlet sandal
#

Game is always felt fine to me but for all I know it's not

manic rune
outer mural
#

if it feels fine then yeah no VPN needed

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah ok

outer mural
#

actually this was not even directed at you

#

it ws the other dude asking about VPNs lmao

twilit arch
#

basically at the end of the day, there's no way to force the !me command to update since its entirely upon the lodestone updating

#

it updates when it updates :\

outer mural
#

log out and hope for the best basically

#

just always log out in a cute outfit though worrySleep

terse nexus
#

tried restarting still doesnt work

leaden ginkgo
#

I uhh, neglected the level 5 MSQ and now my starter class is 13, my first crafter class is 13, and both my other classes are level 8

outer mural
#

that's fine

leaden ginkgo
#

This is what happens when you try to do every sidequests

foggy viper
#

Am I bad if I think cure 1 is better for the lvl 30 dungeons?

outer mural
#

christ

#

yeah don't do it

leaden ginkgo
#

I’ve become addicted to sidequests

#

I can’t stop

celest coral
outer mural
#

not necessarily, mp economy can be ass and cure is technically more efficient
though shit really is hitting the fan if you need to spam cure 1 over using cure 2 becuase of either of those issues though

woven token
#

(Feel free to pretend any quest that isn't MSQ or marked with a plus icon doesn't exist)

terse nexus
#

anyone know anything else I can try

dreamy mauve
#

If anyone can help, what do I do with my fish after voyages and where do I buy bait?

foggy viper
#

Specifically, Brayflox/Qarn/Cutter's Cry

twilit arch
foggy viper
#

Ah I see

twilit arch
#

can also buy bait while on the boat

outer mural
leaden ginkgo
#

I will complete, all the sidequests

dreamy mauve
twilit arch
#

higher lvl baits are going to be at various vendors, can use garlandtools or gamerescape to look up the specific vendors

#

yes any vendor works

outer mural
#

which is common if you have an issue with pulls and stuff

#

otherwise cure 2 is what you should be using in optimal situations since you spend less GCDs healing and more attacking and thus it is more efficent that way

#

and that is generally always better unless ur running out of mana which is not good in the first place

whole wasp
#

cure 1 is mana efficient but if you are forced to be mana efficient in a lvl 30 dungeon. theres another problem you are facing

#

considering lucid dreaming exists.

outer mural
#

tank mitigation, gearing issue, pull size, maybe even DPS taking too long to kill shit

#

plenty of things that can go wrong

mild ermine
#

is castrum spawn time sped up through doing fates, or is it always a fixed 50 mins

outer mural
#

it is sped up

#

it has a max time of like an hour or something?

#

generally it never tkaes that long regardless provided your instance is somewhat active

leaden ginkgo
#

Do I need to equip the Law’s Order weapon for the memories to drop? (from FATEs)

open ember
open ember
#

Can be 30 min to an hour

#

Or less I've seen 15 min spawns for Castrum

#

Its no longer a fixed "hour" anymore

celest coral
#

Does this game have something that enables perma sprint in towns?

twilit arch
#

not really, closest to perma sprint there is its peloton from physical ranged jobs

#

since its cd is lower than its buff duration

leaden ginkgo
#

Would ninja be hard for someone new to pick up?

outer mural
#

useless fact: there's boots you get from a rare fate in eureka that doubles sprint durations in towns

#

but it's a pita to put no so it sees virtually zero use over peloton

twilit arch
leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

outer mural
twilit arch
#

you're not really dumped with all information right on your head so its something you'll learn over the course of leveling

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah my friend is new

outer mural
#

it has the highest skill floor but the lowest skill roof due to mudra and the speed in it is played

leaden ginkgo
#

To mmos

outer mural
#

along with shoving all ur shit under ur debuff window

#

i would tell them to pick it up regardless

#

it's a fun class and they'll just have to get used to it

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh ok

outer mural
#

ninja is one of my favorites, difficulty shouldn't be a factor as long as it's fun

#

except levelling BLM

#

that just sucks

leaden ginkgo
#

I don't play nin just healers and tanks

#

I couldn't really say

outer mural
#

i highly recommended ninja if it looks fun to them

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah

outer mural
#

tell them to join and ask questions, i'd be glad to help

leaden ginkgo
#

They only play once a week so they are worried

whole wasp
#

ninja mudras are like fighting game combinations but its only for the ninja "spells"

#

like the lightning bolt and firefloor

outer mural
#

if they're really playing once a week then it's whatever with what class they play since i do not think they're gonna worry about how to play a class suepr optimally

#

mudra aren't that bad with a minor time investment to learning their muscle memory

leaden ginkgo
#

Good point

#

I've been playing for years now and theh were just curious

mans never played ninja for years

leaden ginkgo
#

I didnt level them up all the way

#

They still had kiss of viper on my hotbar lmao

whole wasp
patent citrus
#

for anima relic last step, you need to wear the weapon when you kill the boss?

#

the lux part

#

or you just change weapon when you get out of the instance

whole wasp
#

if you mean the dungeons and trials. you have to defeat the final boss using the weapon

#

for trials, you have no choice but dungeons you have to equip it before fighting the final boss of the dungeon

leaden ginkgo
#

do phoenix downs work, in DRS?

chilly shuttle
#

Is the Cassie earring really that valuable? I got if from Cassie the first time I beat it and some said to me that is incredible expensive in all servers

shut panther
#

Look at your market

jovial quarry
# leaden ginkgo do phoenix downs work, in DRS?

Phoenix downs specifically don’t work while in combat. They probably work? But you’d have to be out of combat and that’s steep. There is however a lost action version of it that works in combat and without a cast time.

shut panther
#

But yes, typically millions of Gil

chilly shuttle
#

Also do I really need that sixth magicite for hydratos?

shut panther
#

Back when i did Eureka, 10m wasn't unheard of

#

You don't need any of it, I've completed BA plenty with nothing but kirins osode

whole wasp
celest coral
#

Between tanks and healers, which one has lower queue times lately?

whole wasp
#

healers

chilly shuttle
#

What about the relic weapon? I just want the elemental fending +1

leaden ginkgo
#

is there special color hair ?

chilly shuttle
#

I already got the armor in pyros

whole wasp
potent lava
#

if ffxiv tries to resub you and fails because theres not enough money in your debit card, will it only that once
aka if i top up i wont suddenly have another sub under my belt like next month
(ive had a similar situtation with yt premium)

ancient flint
#

moving across from a WoW background here and reading mixed opinions of this on Reddit/forum posts, what's the consensus on using mouseover macros for healing to maximise DPS uptime?

whole wasp
#

but check your mogstation

whole wasp
ancient flint
#

ah okay

#

so the norm is just to target party member x, cast spell, then target mobs again?

whole wasp
#

they have extremely specific limitations. you can work with them if you know how to mitigate their limitations

whole wasp
ancient flint
#

ah right

potent lava
#

they're good for non combat things, liker timers and callouts
for actually doing damage? nahhhh

whole wasp
#

but if people mess up and you are forced to do it, yes. you just click them

ancient flint
#

just to clarify, I mean still only casting 1 ability, just casting it at mouseover target if it exists

#

but I think you got that haha

whole wasp
#

the problem with macros in ffxiv is that they do not queue

#

you prob lose way more time trying to macro

#

then just clicking them

ancient flint
#

yeh fair

wispy basalt
#

kinda feel bad for controller users

whole wasp
#

also, you can switch target while you are casting

ancient flint
#

ah true

whole wasp
#

controllers have built in soft target

ancient flint
#

that's all good, just didn't want to learn bad habits out the gate 😄

whole wasp
#

your targeting automatically snaps back to your original target after casting one spell

#

its d-pad up/down iirc

quaint brook
#

The only downside to controller is if u wanna heal alliances

outer mural
#

get used to swapping targets frequently

#

especially if they die while ur still casting

obsidian patio
#

L1+left/right should cycle through alliance

quaint brook
#

But the party is no issue

obsidian patio
#

but if you need to heal the other parties in a 24-man then things have generally already gone for the worst.

quaint brook
#

Yea xD

quaint brook
obsidian patio
#

Another good tip is L1+up/down scrolls through the enemy list

shut panther
#

There's mods that make mouse over healing functional if you're on PC and willing to take that route

quaint brook
obsidian patio
#

scrolling through the enemy list can make it a lot easier to find the highest HP enemy in a big mob pack

trail elk
#

I saw some armor that you can only get from pvp, so I wanted to ask how is the pvp in this game

whole wasp
#

its niche. they are planning a revamp in 6.0 but we got no details yet

#

kinda like battleground with pvp-only abilities but nobody really cares enough to do it. they are different pvp modes too but i have no idea.

#

i never touched pvp before

quaint brook
#

It's bleh

#

In terms of pvp

whole wasp
#

there are people who are dedicated to pvp though so its not completely dead.

quaint brook
#

But the glam is nice

whole wasp
#

its just... niche

west parrot
#

Can I not put my relic weapon in my glamour dressor?

whole wasp
leaden ginkgo
#

... how many poetics do you get per Sycrus Tower run, including roulette if applicable?

west parrot
#

whaaaaaaaat? it's taking up my inventory space...

#

It's an ARR relic, should I trade it in when doing my HW relic?

whole wasp
#

put it in your retainers or saddlebag

trail elk
#

Can you trade pvp items

whole wasp
#

nope

trail elk
#

RIP

#

There was this outfit I really liked

quaint brook
#

Which one?

trail elk
#

Looks like I’m gona have to pvp

whole wasp
#

if you dont mind trying pvp, go ahead!

trail elk
#

It’s for ninja

#

The chest piece

whole wasp
#

they hide some of the coolest mount in pvp too

quaint brook
#

Certain ones u can't get due to it being a ranked season reward

hollow briar
#

So uh...My sub is active? This is so weird lmao

obsidian patio
#

yep

hollow briar
#

Reason I ask

plain python
#

if I buff physical/magical attack in Bojza, will there monsters resist it?

obsidian patio
spring forum
#

Is there any faster way other than level roulette to go from 48 to 50?

obsidian patio
#

...I do think Delubrum Savage makes use of damage types for a mechanic, though.

Deep Dungeon Info

Deep Dungeon Play Guide

Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.

For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.

obsidian patio
#

I recommend spamming your highest level dungeon for experience.

outer mural
#

there's not really anyhting you can do besides deal with queues yeah

#

or unlock frontline roulette and do a match of pvp for it

obsidian patio
#

which if you've only done story would be Stone Vigil.

outer mural
#

it's wide scale so it's not that bad for just getting it done

quaint brook
leaden ginkgo
#

So poetics from Sycrus Tower. How many per run?

quaint brook
#

It says it in the duty finder

obsidian patio
#

assuming no one is new, the amount that it lists.

#

if someone is new, add another 100.

leaden ginkgo
#

And how much is full scaevan right side?

outer mural
#

180 * 5

#

or is it 6

quaint brook
#

5

outer mural
#

it's wrist, neck, bracelet, two rings

obsidian patio
#

280*5

quaint brook
#

U right

obsidian patio
#

so 1400

outer mural
#

280?

#

wiki has LIED to me

obsidian patio
#

probably saw the old scaevan stuff instead of the augmented.

outer mural
#

but yeah 280 * 5 is right

#

yeah no u right i literally just swapped pages

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean you're never really trustworthy yourself so...

outer mural
leaden ginkgo
#

im kinda struggle finding this hair color anyone can help ?

outer mural
#

PES2_Uhm that should just be one of the browns right

leaden ginkgo
#

i feel blind.

outer mural
#

there's no unlockable haircolors or sliders or anything

leaden ginkgo
#

i tried every brown looking but its diffrent

outer mural
#

do you have like

obsidian patio
#

yeah you're probably better off having the photo side-by-side to you in the character creator.

outer mural
#

a higher quality version of that screenshot

#

that might be why it looks different

fallow dove
#

I don't get house buying, it has a 12hr timer yet someone was able to just buy it without the timer going down?

obsidian patio
#

also highlights

outer mural
#

it looks a bit reader

outer mural
obsidian patio
#

Devaluation timer has nothing to with the house being buyable.

outer mural
#

the timer to actually buy the house is invisible and can pop between 2 to 48 hours

obsidian patio
#

they're completely unrelated.

outer mural
#

as wynne said they are independent

fallow dove
#

That's confusing

leaden ginkgo
#

sadly i cant improve the quality

upper pendant
#

in eureka can i use any job or are they all seperate levels

obsidian patio
#

They're two different timers, to put it simply.

fallow dove
#

So I just have to take a gamble and hope I hit the buy button on time?

obsidian patio
runic sage
#

are all tank classes viable for endgame? im playing GNB but ive heard its half dps half tank and i kinda wanted to play main tank in raids, so im worried other tank jobs might be better

obsidian patio
#

so you can't just roll in with a level 30 Paladin and be as strong as any other level 70 paladin

outer mural
#

in addition eureka's progression at later stages will need you to focous on a class for the relic / gear

outer mural
#

people really like inflating GNB's DPS

#

it barely does any more than any other tank and it has a perfectly well-rounded toolkit

runic sage
#

oh

outer mural
#

all tanks are viable and are well-balanced aroound one another

obsidian patio
#

People call GNB a half DPS due to how the rotation plays out, not because of how tanky it is.

outer mural
#

yep

runic sage
#

alright

#

ty so much lol i was worried

outer mural
#

yeah keep rocking on

obsidian patio
#

Tanks are super well balanced in relation to each other, probably the best balancing they've ever had.

plain python
#

does critical engagement scale with number of partipants?

outer mural
#

mhm

#

it scales with number of people in the instance i believe? i do not know if it was changed

obsidian patio
#

Yes, and if you have very low numbers of participants you get a scaling echo.

outer mural
#

castrum / dalriada for sure do

#

oh i see, so it was changed alongside those two

obsidian patio
#

It's how Sfia managed a solo/duo WHM to hit Afflatus Misery for like 6.8m

leaden ginkgo
#

... holy shit.

obsidian patio
#

but yeah, if there's not a lot of people then Echo beefs you up

#

But for bare minimum number of people, I think both CLL and Dalriada both need 6 people at the least

jade willow
#

i was going to pre-order endwalker, but then i read this: "This product also includes Stormblood and Shadowbringers expansion packs, which will only be provided when Endwalker is officially released."

#

so i'd have to buy the other expansions separately to play them before endwalker release??? wow 😒

obsidian patio
#

Yes.

#

The expansions are on sale right now anyways

outer mural
#

dalraida needs at least 2 but i'm just going on a tangent

#

also yes but you have 6 months

leaden ginkgo
#

That's how other MMOs work though, right...?

outer mural
#

so if you want a time to get into the game, now's the time

#

yes

#

i can see why the apprehension regradless since it's around the corner but it's better to grab the game now and get ready for the expansion when there's still a ton of time rather than not imo

#

especially since it's on sale

leaden ginkgo
#

... Just so I'm aware, Endwalker pre-order isn't on sale, right?

outer mural
#

it is not

#

shadowbringers is on sale is what i mean

hazy dove
#

for GC Delivery Missions, can I turn in every single resource as long as I have/get it? Or only one in each category?

outer mural
#

thinkmons can you give an example so i may understand the question better

#

i vaguely get what you're trying to say but am unsure by 'only one in each category'

leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

you can do all of the deliveries

outer mural
#

oh that's what they mean

leaden ginkgo
#

No shit.

outer mural
#

yeah what wynne said, once per day for each

#

Sadge eleos you're so mean

hazy dove
#

oh so literally whatever is on the list i can clear that entire list?

outer mural
#

yes

#

once per day for each

hazy dove
#

do they rotate items? Or can i just stockpile on the same items and turn in daily?

outer mural
#

they rotate, it will not always be the same thing

hazy dove
#

alrighty, thanks

outer mural
#

it's oddly specific stuff too so it's also not exactly predictable

#

yeet o7

obsidian patio
#

they rotate and are also based on your level within a range

#

so there's a ton of different items they can ask for.

#

You can use this link to see all the possible items that they can request.

jade willow
#

anyone not able to receive an sms verification code from SE after making a purchase?

obsidian patio
#

I never used SMS verification so I can't say. :\

#

o3 or o4 is faster for relic books?

obsidian patio
#

I'd say o3 since there's no possible downtime from ExDeath doing his phase transition in becoming a tree

outer mural
#

o3

#

you dumpster halicarnassus before she does her phase transition which is generlaly faster than exdeath

obsidian patio
#

yeah when I did it my groups killed right around when the dragon spawns

outer mural
#

yeah even after dragon you have plenty of time

#

pugs usually just dumpster her even with mediocre DPS

Hey, my country isn't listed on the SE store. Does it matter what I input? Ordering digital edition so I don't need actual shipping. Thanks in advance.

outer mural
#

There's three account types. Japanese, North American, and EU/Others. Get the one that matches your account type.

#

this seems to be the answer

#

specific country does not matter as long as it falls into one of these categories matching ur account

#

which country are you in?

golden sundial
#

Israel, so I'm supposed to go in europe, just not listed.

outer mural
#

sounds right to me

golden sundial
#

I guess it is fine to just input whatever country to get the order done

very odd it would not list israel but at least they aren't sticklers about it

how do you join an FC?

the owner of the fc or someone with rank to do so has to send you an invite thing

#

Question. Would the dungeon in quarrymill a good place to level up jobs to lv80?

shrewd owl
#

for dps ye
also iirc it begins to fall off starting at 60 where at that point you go heaven on high instead

humble orbit
#

Alright then

jovial quarry
#

It has a slight drop off at 50 and an incredibly steep drop at 60. So much so as to be unviable.

humble orbit
#

Even with the exp boost from food items won't do much?

jovial quarry
#

EXP from Palace and HoH is a fixed percentage on completion of each floor set. It’s unaffected by boosts with the exception of the preferred server double boost. But once you take anything higher than 60, the EXP yield drops significantly. I think it’s only 10k or something? Barely a fraction of what it gives up to that point.

humble orbit
#

Yikes. Alright then. Thanks for the info

jovial quarry
#

At which point you’re recommended to go from Palace to Heaven on High. That’s the same general structure but for the 61-70 level range.

random girder
#

and then 71 you can do save the queen content, so bozja/zadnor

#

though dungeons are about as fast when leveling tanks/healers

humble orbit
#

Well. I'm doing a challenge I came up with where I change jobs in each expansion and when I reach shadowbringers I'll be playing as astrologians

random girder
#

if you want to be real cool about it you can even do the posterboy for each expansion lol

#

but yeah on astro just do dungeons from 61-80 honestly

#

on healers you can kinda do dungeons all the time

#

and its about as fast

#

because queues are instant most of the day

humble orbit
wispy basalt
#

how many collabs xiv make

#

only nier ?

humble orbit
#

There was monster hunter

obsidian patio

counting only the ones that have made an appearance in the game, Dragon Quest, FFXI, FFXIII, FFXV, Yokai Watch, Monster Hunter, and Nier.

#

Dragon Quest, FF XI, XIII, and XV, Yokai Watch, Garo, Monster Hunter, and Nier.

obsidian patio
#

oh yeah garo

wispy basalt
#

all of them side quests ?

obsidian patio
#

out of all of those only MH and Nier are permanent content.

#

the rest are/were temporary seasonal events

wispy basalt
#

never return ?

open oriole
#

wasn't Ivalice a crossover too ?

jovial quarry
#

FFXV event will return. The others are unknown.

obsidian patio
#

they've all had a couple reruns or so.

obsidian patio
#

Ivalice had the lead writer/director Matsuno Yasumi

#

from FFXII/tactics, i think

wispy basalt
#

thanks!

open oriole
#

I thought some of the characters were crossed over too, but seems only the writer

jovial quarry
#

He borrowed his own characters and wrote a new story with them in a different setting and continuity.

obsidian patio
#

the characters do exist, but are their own thing/version.

#

Like how Basch ||is an imperial||

open oriole
#

ohh okay that makes sense

jovial quarry
#

They’re unrelated, technically, to their XII/Tactics counterparts.

obsidian patio
#

and Balthier has yet to make an appearance, but his outfit is one of the outfits in the raid series.

#

A lot of the armor sets from Ivalice/Bozja content are from FFT/FFXII or inspired by it.

#

The newest gear in Zadnor, for example, has armor sets that use the looks of Basch, Penelo, and Larsa.

versed bison
#

what's slide casting ?

obsidian patio
#

Basically the last 0.2-0.3 seconds or so of a cast are for latency forgiveness, which let you move during that period of time and not lose the cst.

#

depends on your ping

random girder
#

!faq slidecasting

zinc orbitBOT
#
Slidecast Timing

• Slidecasting is the ability to
move at the end of the cast as the game registers your cast to be complete.
• Mistiming it too early will cause an interruption and moving late will cause your next queued hardcast to get interrupted. (ping relevant)
• Here is a visual (courtesy of Cecilia Atwood) of the estimated time the game snaps the cast to be complete:

My friend is having issues doing the delivery postmoogle questline, she's done with the base quests up to Siblings and sidewhiskers

#

she's missing Sweet Words, Shadowy Dealings, but it doesnt show up...

spice knot
#

Given that I just started the game, should I do all quests or should I focus on the ones that look like on fire only?

polar hound
#

and job quests are your priority.

spice knot
#

looks like its on fire right?

random girder
#

the main story quests, yes

polar hound
#

well..you can see it right there, yes lol

spice knot
#

how bout the ones with the + on them are they not important?

polar hound
#

bluequest are optional but unlock optional/additional content generally but sidequest are mostly lore/flavor and little exp, can be ignored

spice knot
#

damn Xaviell, thank you so much

#

do you have the icon for the job quests?

polar hound
#

I believe it will also be blue, but once you unlock a job quest it will show under your Main Scenario Tracker in the upper left corner

spice knot
#

thank you a lot!

random girder
#

basically if there is a little ! under the msq tracker DO THAT IMMEDIATELY

polar hound
#

always always always prioritize job quests when they appear and then go back to msq

otherwise just do the msq tracker

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

rotund spruce
#

oh ok

manic rune
#

ffxiv is very balanced across jobs

#

Yeah any dps is viable

obsidian patio

Assuming the same skill and gear, damage difference between top and lowest DPS class is only around 10% or so.

ye that’s your problem posting that pf

But for example some feel underwhelming to play

proud willow

Right now they're very balanced. Things could change when the expansion hits in November but for now everything is *chef's kiss*

hard night
#

At least for me

it’s all subjective

Not because of bad dps

are different races better at different classes?

so minor that just play what you want

and by slight he means absolutely not worth it

rotund spruce
#

oh alrighty

jovial quarry
#

While each race does have differing base stats, at higher levels, the differences are completely insignificant.

proud willow
#

Racial stat differences are incredibly small, to the point where I'm not sure why they even have them

rotund spruce
#

alright neat then

polar hound
#

single digit differences when end-game provides those by the thousands

earnest garnet
#

to add some characteristic on them

#

but not limit players to those choice when using certain race

i think its nice to have

manic rune
#

just pick whatever race you think is cool/cute/whatever

rotund spruce
#

👍

manic rune
#

you get a free potion to change your entire appearance (inc. race) after you finish ARR base game

normally you have to purchase those from the shop

polar hound

(you will not get that if you buy a story skip, fwiw)

honest anvil

oh thats pretty generous

some people are just not interested

and they may be playing for raiding only

i guess i can understand that personally i wont be tho

story skips are also popular with people leveling alt characters

earnest garnet
#

i do skip as well

rotund spruce
#

oh ok i can definitely see the appeal for alts

polar hound
#

lots skip the story...surprisingly not everyone has played a FF game prior to xiv and dont realize they are Story Driven games, just want raid.

earnest garnet
#

just to progress faster to unlock everything behind MSQ

honest anvil
#

and ye, finding people to do ruby now will test your patience

you can replay quest in NG+ if you want those story

why make alts when you can level every class on one character tho?

that's when you find out

mogstation has it aswell

flat yew
#

and how is payment for retainers handled? are they charged separately or do you only get a partial month if you decide to get an extra one mid-month and have to renew it together with your sub?

Hey guys, I’m quite new and I’ve been playing MNK which I now have at lvl 52. However I’m getting quite bored of it and wanted to try out a tank such as darkknight. My question is how much slower will solo content such as MSQ be as a tank? Since I probably won’t be doing as much dmg

thanks

obsidian patio
flat yew
#

ah, hrm

#

guess I should wait for my current sub to run out then before I get a third retainer

obsidian patio
#

you don't pay the full amount if you buy it while in the middle of subscription payment

#

it does math and stuff to figure out how many day's worth of retainer you had them for before the payment kicks in

flat yew
#

ohh

#

that's nice

#

thought it just charged you the full price and then recharged on on a resub

#

Hi, are non-healer classes healing ability also based on "mind" stat?

obsidian patio
#

nope

#

Well, just Summoner, but you never use Physick

#

Any other job that has a healing spell in their kit use their main stat for how effective it is

#

so STR for PLD's Clemency + WAR's Equilibrium + GNB's Aurora, and INT for RDM's VerCure

cyan kelp
#

Determination also affects how much you're healed for

flat yew
#

hrm, was trying to find the crysta prices for subs and retainers but it seems like it is all just listed in my local currency instead

cyan kelp
#

Thought it was worth mentioning

#

crysta is basically the same as your currency

flat yew
#

ah so a sub is about 1.3k crysta?

cyan kelp
#

Right nevermind lol

#

I should of asked what your currency is

flat yew
#

euro

cyan kelp
#

Ahh so yeah that sounds about right

#

1299 crysta for your sub

flat yew
#

ah thanks

#

damn crysta is so much better

cyan kelp
#

When you go to by crysta it explains it's pricing

tough plinth
#

Hey, what class do i have to choose if i want to play a white mage?

flat yew
#

mogstation was trying to charge me 1 EUR for a single day of a retainer

cyan kelp
#

It's literally the same, just a fancy way of saying you've money on mogstation

flat yew
#

or 4 crysta

tough plinth
#

Thanks!

cyan kelp
#

When you get a retainer it'll charge you for the remaining days you have on your sub

glad comet
#

Is there a housing item which fences off people?

cyan kelp
#

So if your sub only has 2 weeks left

glad comet
#

like a museum exhibition barrier?

#

🤔

flat yew
#

well my sub has one day left

cyan kelp
#

The retainer will be half the normal price

#

It matches your sub

oak ice
#

You could build something, but they'd have to clip into it

glad comet
#

Something like those

#

What are those called?

#

the lines protecting the walls

#

I may be stupid but I don't remember the name

flat yew
#

that's why I was surprised by the 1 EUR charge they claimed, over the 4 crysta charge I got by switching from CC to crysta

cyan kelp
#

Might of been mispriced

#

Finally

#

thank you

obsidian patio
#

bought from the Eulmore bicolor gem person after you get all shared fate zones for SHB to rank 3

#

it's tradable and can be bought on the marketboard though

glad comet
#

ok i guess i know what im doing then

tough plinth
#

If i play a healer, is levling / solo content a pain in the ass?

flat yew
#

not really

obsidian patio
#

a bit slower for story, but much safer

flat yew
#

at times it can take a bit longer to kill stuff but you basically never die to anything

obsidian patio
#

being able to heal yourself gives you vastly more survivability and room for error.

#

can also heal NPCs in solo duties if needed

flat yew
#

(or you go scholar and your fairy keeps you topped up)

plucky wigeon
#

How do I get gear as Dragoon while levling in ARR, im lvl 40 and I still have lvl 24 gear cause all the quest rewards are either worse than what I have or for tank classes only

jade quartz
#

There are many quest rewards for you.

#

What is your MSQ level and what are you currently wearing

flat yew
#

that NPC healing thing is actually an extremely nice thing. I hate it when some duty fails because an NPC doesn't know how to dodge AOEs

polar hound
#

Healer solo content is slow but it's totally made up for with Instant Dungeon queues and survivability like noted prior.

tough plinth
#

haha fair enough

jade quartz
#

It's not that slow, healers can dps just fine.

flat yew
#

btw how long do you have to wait after buying an extra retainer before being able to employ them?

obsidian patio
#

should be immediately be able to hire them

jade quartz
#

Should be instantaneous

jade quartz
flat yew
#

ohh, I can only do it in one of the main 3 cities

polar hound
#

in comparison to almost any other job it is slower but that's for very (i hope) obvious reasons. not to mention they took away a lot of healer dps abilities with shb but yeah a question asked+answered

jade quartz
#

Open your journal and look at the quest

flat yew
#

was trying to do it in the crystarium

plucky wigeon
#

obsidian patio
#

You should've been given a decent amount of gear for your level.

plucky wigeon
#

I cant wear it.. its worse than what I have or not for my class

flat yew
#

you also get gear from dungeons

jade quartz
#

You must have overlooked the DRG gear you were offered.

obsidian patio
#

You don't get pure LNC/DRG gear until 50. until then you accept "Disciple of War" gear when it appears in place of gear that specifies LNC/DRG

plucky wigeon
#

Thanks

jade quartz
#

There is gear designed for LNC/DRG pre-50 actually

#

Just it's also equippable by tanks.

#

So you'll see "GLD PLD MRD WAR DRK GNB LNC DRG" gear

flat yew
jade quartz
#

That's for dragoons.

polar hound
#

yea...back in the day we'd share accessories and such heh

plucky wigeon
#

The Disciple of War stuff is worse than my lvl 24 gear but whatever, I get through fine

#

Thank you

jade quartz
#

Worse how?

#

If you're looking at the defense stat, don't

#

Prioritise item level, weapon damage and strength.

plucky wigeon
#

What should I look at then

polar hound
#

I would suggest the Brand New set from the hall of the novice..although that is a lvl 15 gear set, it will help your next leveling toons heh

#

as a dps you want to look at mainstat first, always

potent lava
#

there's a small button in the equip menu with circling arrows, it will eqip your current best in slot gear

#

usually

obsidian patio
#

for 1-49 basically just the highest equip level gear most of the time

plucky wigeon
#

So

#

this is

#

better than this?

jade quartz
#

no the altered linen chausses are caster/healer gear....

#

there is no strength on them.

polar hound
#

no, first item is item lvl 36 and 2nd is 23 BUT the first set is a caster set.

jade quartz
#

Pick gear with strength on it.

polar hound
#

so if you were a caster, sure, theyre better.

potent lava
#

if you're looking for gear at around your level, either run some dungeon or buy from any armorer at one of three cities' shopping district

polar hound
#

also Jiku it is worth noting that the recommended button will heavily prefer Defense over anything else, even ilvl, so it isnt always accurate/good.

jade quartz
#

Recommended button should be fine

polar hound
#

heavily noticeable in 2.0 where accessories with 1 def/mdef are favored over real stats.

#

worth noting, not worth arguing.

jade quartz
#

sometimes weird stuff with it prioritising substats

plucky wigeon
#

Fair enough

#

thanks

flat yew
#

assuming I already have a miner and botanist retainer, is a combat or fisher one more preferable?

wintry chasm
#

Fisher items just really aren't used a lot

upper cove
#

Silly question about armoury bonus. Does it activate only when a job is lower than my highest level? Or does lower exp count 😅

polar hound
#

lower level

upper cove

Ajght thanks!
