@whole waspjust incase can you give me a picture of it
!iglam eikon leather armguards of maiming
better
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
thanks
the others i found are caster gear. :/
👍
Do you want them for the markings or just to clip sleeves?
Too much lel. Ill just get my weapon and see if the tank set is worth it
does magitek in FATE drop cluster too?
realistically it's not that bad
but it is a handful
i do not think so momo
else i'd have a fuckton more
The tank set is the most worth it :p gorgeous
From what i saw so far i just kill mobs/fates for those crystals and use them to exchange for better Eureka weapon?
out of curiosity can someone help me with a tech issue
I got some chests from fates, do those give Eureka related resources?
been getting code 90002 for the past 30 min
no clue whats wrong, pc working perfectly fine
that just a general disconnect error
There are some housing items/glams/materia/junk/mounts in those chests. Nothing for relic progress though
yeah general disconnect. if it is not your PC, ensure your connection is stable
for anemos (aka wind island), yes.
they don't actually
an overactive virus protector might be triggering it too, if so then whitelist FFXIV
they just give cosmetics
well considering im able to anything wifi based still and my roomates still able to play im pretty sure the connections stabe
none of the chests give direct resources that contribute to the relicq uest
ffxiv is already whitelisted
Best "boost" in those chests is the mats to craft the exp boost potion.
It didnt fir me
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*
They gave me a song and a mount tho pog
it sometimes gives eurekan potion but thats not very valuable
yeah after going through like 5k boxes for a dino i can ensure you that zero crystals drop from it
you get demimaterial though
tea vs uwu vs ultima
which is more difficult
tea
tea yea.
why
apparently uwu and bahamhut DPS checks are really chill out
oh
and the mechanics are not as hard regardless
tea has hard enrage?
this is second hand from ult players in the balance who generally agree it's easier
they all have hard enrages
all ultimates have hard enrages
oof
the checks do still exists, the thing is scaling and stuff being adjusted at 70 has made it easier to accomplish
TEA just has the tightest check just becuase of numbers alone
and all their hard enrages kill people one by one
i c
and you can't over sync past TEA's ilvl
in addition to generally being agreed to just having hardest mechanics
including stillness
tea was designed for current toolkit too
stillness 
do people do ultimates via a vpn
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
Ninja without suiton is just sadge.
do u mean meisui
I did yes lol

is that a question?
My brain went the skill before
yeah it does feel bad without it
people do ultimates with vpn?
does people with bad ping do ultimates?
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
you can do ultimates with or without vpn
it's just imbalanced toolkits that also contribute to 70 ults being a bit easier
the vpn isn't what would make it harder
bad ping?
i am sure people with bad ping do ultimates
ohh
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
Hey how do I update Kupo bot’s !me command?
which is the issue
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
log out of the game i think
it updates whenever i log off from what 've noticed
VPNs help route packets
it updates from lodestone, which is hourly or so
they can and might directly lower lag
machinists in the balance literally recommend grabbing a VPN to play it
mudfish my beloved
Oh, what if you’re free trial and can’t use loadstone?
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.
lodestone saves free trial characters too, it's automatic
you can't force a lodestone update
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
I don't even know if i have bad or good ping
you can check with xlplugins, there is a ping one
Does that require a pc in anyway
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
Game is always felt fine to me but for all I know it's not
we don't really know but it updates when you log out
if it feels fine then yeah no VPN needed
Ah ok
actually this was not even directed at you
it ws the other dude asking about VPNs lmao
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 :\
tried restarting still doesnt work
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
that's fine
This is what happens when you try to do every sidequests
Am I bad if I think cure 1 is better for the lvl 30 dungeons?
I'm probably gonna be spending a while unlocking as many dungeons/trials as I can too
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
(Feel free to pretend any quest that isn't MSQ or marked with a plus icon doesn't exist)
anyone know anything else I can try
If anyone can help, what do I do with my fish after voyages and where do I buy bait?
Specifically, Brayflox/Qarn/Cutter's Cry
Haha no
sell them, and you can buy bait from the miqo'te npc near the ocean fishing vendors
Ah I see
can also buy bait while on the boat
can't really help with tht general an error and no signs of what can be the issue 
I will complete, all the sidequests
Am I able to sell them to any vendor?
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
Awesome, thankyou!
🥲
cure is objectively more mana efficient if that is the issue you are running into
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
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.
tank mitigation, gearing issue, pull size, maybe even DPS taking too long to kill shit
plenty of things that can go wrong
is castrum spawn time sped up through doing fates, or is it always a fixed 50 mins
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
Do I need to equip the Law’s Order weapon for the memories to drop? (from FATEs)
It depends on the completion of CEs & Skirmishes
no
Can be 30 min to an hour
Or less I've seen 15 min spawns for Castrum
Its no longer a fixed "hour" anymore
Does this game have something that enables perma sprint in towns?
not really, closest to perma sprint there is its peloton from physical ranged jobs
since its cd is lower than its buff duration
Would ninja be hard for someone new to pick up?
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
not really. mudras can be a bit confusing but the game introduces things slowly to you for the most part
Ok
arguably? i would say yes but it's not that bad
you're not really dumped with all information right on your head so its something you'll learn over the course of leveling
Yeah my friend is new
it has the highest skill floor but the lowest skill roof due to mudra and the speed in it is played
To mmos
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
Oh ok
ninja is one of my favorites, difficulty shouldn't be a factor as long as it's fun
except levelling BLM
that just sucks
i highly recommended ninja if it looks fun to them
Yeah
tell them to join and ask questions, i'd be glad to help
They only play once a week so they are worried
ninja mudras are like fighting game combinations but its only for the ninja "spells"
like the lightning bolt and firefloor
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

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
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
do phoenix downs work, in DRS?
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
Look at your market
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.
But yes, typically millions of Gil
Also do I really need that sixth magicite for hydratos?
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
you dont have to.
Between tanks and healers, which one has lower queue times lately?
healers
What about the relic weapon? I just want the elemental fending +1
is there special color hair ?
I already got the armor in pyros
every hair color avaliable, you can see in the character creator. there is no extra hair color you can buy etc.
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)
okay thanks
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?
it should stop. it will not try to resub you afaik.
but check your mogstation
macros in FFXIV are a pile of dung and its not a conincidence, they are designed to be a pile of dung.
ah okay
so the norm is just to target party member x, cast spell, then target mobs again?
they have extremely specific limitations. you can work with them if you know how to mitigate their limitations
yes but eventually, you rarely cast single target heals since AoE heals are so strong
ah right
i cant find this color
they're good for non combat things, liker timers and callouts
for actually doing damage? nahhhh
but if people mess up and you are forced to do it, yes. you just click them
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
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
yeh fair
kinda feel bad for controller users
also, you can switch target while you are casting
ah true
controllers have built in soft target
that's all good, just didn't want to learn bad habits out the gate 😄
your targeting automatically snaps back to your original target after casting one spell
its d-pad up/down iirc
The only downside to controller is if u wanna heal alliances
get used to swapping targets frequently
especially if they die while ur still casting
L1+left/right should cycle through alliance
But the party is no issue
but if you need to heal the other parties in a 24-man then things have generally already gone for the worst.
Yea xD
Gonna have to check that
Another good tip is L1+up/down scrolls through the enemy list
There's mods that make mouse over healing functional if you're on PC and willing to take that route
I can do that holding trigger and r1/L1
scrolling through the enemy list can make it a lot easier to find the highest HP enemy in a big mob pack
I saw some armor that you can only get from pvp, so I wanted to ask how is the pvp in this game
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
there are people who are dedicated to pvp though so its not completely dead.
But the glam is nice
its just... niche
Can I not put my relic weapon in my glamour dressor?
no, only replicas go into dresser
... how many poetics do you get per Sycrus Tower run, including roulette if applicable?
whaaaaaaaat? it's taking up my inventory space...
It's an ARR relic, should I trade it in when doing my HW relic?
put it in your retainers or saddlebag
Can you trade pvp items
nope
Which one?
Looks like I’m gona have to pvp
if you dont mind trying pvp, go ahead!
they hide some of the coolest mount in pvp too
Certain ones u can't get due to it being a ranked season reward
yep
Reason I ask
if I buff physical/magical attack in Bojza, will there monsters resist it?
monsters in bozja are only weaker to one of the two if they are, they don't resist them specifically.
Is there any faster way other than level roulette to go from 48 to 50?
...I do think Delubrum Savage makes use of damage types for a mechanic, though.
U can do Potd
?
Palace of the dead
I pray to god they add neck tats to the game, I wana dress like thancred
what is that?
!faq potd
palace of the dead from scratch for cheddar is not what i would recommend
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.
I recommend spamming your highest level dungeon for experience.
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
which if you've only done story would be Stone Vigil.
it's wide scale so it's not that bad for just getting it done
I didn't know they didn't have it lol
So poetics from Sycrus Tower. How many per run?
It says it in the duty finder
assuming no one is new, the amount that it lists.
if someone is new, add another 100.
And how much is full scaevan right side?
5
it's wrist, neck, bracelet, two rings
280*5
U right
so 1400
probably saw the old scaevan stuff instead of the augmented.
I mean you're never really trustworthy yourself so...

im kinda struggle finding this hair color anyone can help ?
that should just be one of the browns right
i feel blind.
there's no unlockable haircolors or sliders or anything
i tried every brown looking but its diffrent
do you have like
yeah you're probably better off having the photo side-by-side to you in the character creator.
I don't get house buying, it has a 12hr timer yet someone was able to just buy it without the timer going down?
also highlights
it looks a bit reader
the timer is for the price going down a tier
Devaluation timer has nothing to with the house being buyable.
the timer to actually buy the house is invisible and can pop between 2 to 48 hours
they're completely unrelated.
as wynne said they are independent
That's confusing
sadly i cant improve the quality
in eureka can i use any job or are they all seperate levels
They're two different timers, to put it simply.
So I just have to take a gamble and hope I hit the buy button on time?
They all share the same elemental level, but they do need to be level 70 or higher or you'll be weaker inside.
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
so you can't just roll in with a level 30 Paladin and be as strong as any other level 70 paladin
in addition eureka's progression at later stages will need you to focous on a class for the relic / gear
yeah that's a total lie
people really like inflating GNB's DPS
it barely does any more than any other tank and it has a perfectly well-rounded toolkit
oh
all tanks are viable and are well-balanced aroound one another
People call GNB a half DPS due to how the rotation plays out, not because of how tanky it is.
yep
yeah keep rocking on
Tanks are super well balanced in relation to each other, probably the best balancing they've ever had.
does critical engagement scale with number of partipants?
mhm
it scales with number of people in the instance i believe? i do not know if it was changed
Yes, and if you have very low numbers of participants you get a scaling echo.
It's how Sfia managed a solo/duo WHM to hit Afflatus Misery for like 6.8m
... holy shit.
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
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 😒
dalraida needs at least 2 but i'm just going on a tangent
also yes but you have 6 months
That's how other MMOs work though, right...?
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
... Just so I'm aware, Endwalker pre-order isn't on sale, right?
for GC Delivery Missions, can I turn in every single resource as long as I have/get it? Or only one in each category?
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'
Going on gut instinct to say Yes given I've seen many a crafter cap through these deliveries.
you can do all of the deliveries
oh that's what they mean
No shit.
oh so literally whatever is on the list i can clear that entire list?
do they rotate items? Or can i just stockpile on the same items and turn in daily?
they rotate, it will not always be the same thing
alrighty, thanks
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.
anyone not able to receive an sms verification code from SE after making a purchase?
I never used SMS verification so I can't say. :\

o3 or o4 is faster for relic books?
I'd say o3 since there's no possible downtime from ExDeath doing his phase transition in becoming a tree
o3
you dumpster halicarnassus before she does her phase transition which is generlaly faster than exdeath
yeah when I did it my groups killed right around when the dragon spawns
yeah even after dragon you have plenty of time
pugs usually just dumpster her even with mediocre DPS
Do I need the Zadnor notes for Balthier’s bike as well?
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.
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?
Israel, so I'm supposed to go in europe, just not listed.
sounds right to me
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
All is well, thanks for the help, have a great day.
go in peace
just make sure to write down the address you use as a "just in case" if support ever asks for it to know it's you for verification purposes.
assuming this is the duty instance with the ||Warriors of Darkness||, look for an interactable right in front of her
you only have two slot of action duty in bojza?
yes.
this does not increase
If you ever get a new hairstyle, do u have to use a fantasia again?
any upgrades increase the amount of actions you can carry in ur bozja inventory
no
you can just go unlock a sidequest for the haircut guy
is bards animation attack color turns to blue ?
it gets upgraded into a blue shot later on yes
no. the Aesthetician can change your hairstyle in the inn room with the crystal bell
If you haven't unlocked them look for this quest

Where to buy white mage ironworks gear?
starting cities or mor dhona
kk
magical-weak enemies are more common than physical ones in Bojza?
for the most part, yeah,
starting cities at the blue bag npc on your map, mor dhona at uhhh the tomestone people in the market stand lol idk what theyre called
I generally only see melee-weak in skirmishes/CEs
i go to ul'dah usually
teleport to the main aetheryte, exit the spawn, turn to ur left into the corner
there's a representative there with a menu to buy the gear super easily
genuinely cant believe we dealt with usual poetics shops pre 5.3
is the silver dasher minon rare
both lost cure I and III have same potency. So they heal the same amount?
lost cure III is probably either aoe or instant cast
i dont know whichj one
but it will say on the tooltip
III might even have a regen or something
cast time aoe
is I aoe??
then III is aoe
so I wonder if it is stronger
aoe is always automatically better
especially if they have same potency
healing 2 people is better than healing 1
it's a rare drop from submarine ventures, which require an FC house and good enough submarines to access and try to farm
o cool someone just gave me it randomly for free
also the time taken to level up your submarine enough to get to the needed zone
Do people do NG+?
it's purely for the story, there's no reward/achievement of any kind from it.
all the quests of every given story you can ng+
its identical to playing it normally
but way easier bc you are higher level and can fly
so killing mobs is practically instant
what's best way to level 1-20 if i have no friends? ^^
and walking is not a problem at all
hunting log from 1-15
is faster than potd
after that, potd
it only sells for 30k gil tho huh lol thought it would be more
or just /shout in limsa lol
might've been added to lock boxes in bozja or zadnor, those don't show up on garland tools
maybe HoH sacks too
which world in primal is most chat active?

hello, I played the free trial about a year ago through square enix, not steam, but I do want to continue playing my free trial again but through steam and eventually paying my sub with steam but once I log in I get this:
This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired.
does this mean I can't transfer to steam?
people basically never talk in public
Which zone were you in? because most people hang out in Limsa or Eulmore.
you cant play a non steam account on steam
You can't play free trial on two platforms at once.
You have to stick to trial non-steam until you buy the game on steam.
also like 12 hours ago
gotcha thank you i appreciate it !!
I switched to primal someone said it was better
no one talks on any data center
thats normal
people talk to their friends
not in /shout
it's cheap on the mb
or even /say
but yeah it is mildly rare
youll find friends naturally by playing lol
^
I have friends but i like to talk alott in global
/shout somewhere populated and ask for an fc
no such thing as global in this game
really just give it time
ok well area
you can also hop around world servers and hang out there if you care that much
*starts crying in a quirky/cute way *
*but kinda freaky 🤪 * ok well thanks for the advice guys
hopefully certain areas for more active
basically only the main cities
or theres a secret club and cool kidz area 🧐
im confsued
Can someone help me? I was leveling my fisher and went back to my drg but am stuck on lancer? I dont have my drg abilities
isnt there another jobquest for dragoon at lv 35
but im at lancers guild and i dont see the guy there
yes
oh nvm its not there lol
DRG quests are in Coerthas at the Observatory
i forgot u can see ur job quest under the msqw
Is your DRG job stone equipped?
put in your job stone
how do I do that?
I played drg and i broke down crying on the floor but gladiator was better #advice #goodnightguys ^^
its kinda not tanky ngl
Armoury chest > Soul crystal
@outer mural Awesome I got it! Thanks everyone!
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
be invited to one or apply by checking a person's FC in their character window when you right-click them
You can also use this site to browse from people advertising their own FCs

Question. Would the dungeon in quarrymill a good place to level up jobs to lv80?
for dps ye
also iirc it begins to fall off starting at 60 where at that point you go heaven on high instead
Alright then
It has a slight drop off at 50 and an incredibly steep drop at 60. So much so as to be unviable.
Even with the exp boost from food items won't do much?
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.
Yikes. Alright then. Thanks for the info
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.
and then 71 you can do save the queen content, so bozja/zadnor
though dungeons are about as fast when leveling tanks/healers
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
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

There was monster hunter
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.
oh yeah garo
all of them side quests ?
out of all of those only MH and Nier are permanent content.
the rest are/were temporary seasonal events
never return ?
wasn't Ivalice a crossover too ?
FFXV event will return. The others are unknown.
they've all had a couple reruns or so.
no.
Ivalice had the lead writer/director Matsuno Yasumi
from FFXII/tactics, i think
thanks!
I thought some of the characters were crossed over too, but seems only the writer
He borrowed his own characters and wrote a new story with them in a different setting and continuity.
the characters do exist, but are their own thing/version.
Like how Basch ||is an imperial||
ohh okay that makes sense
They’re unrelated, technically, to their XII/Tactics counterparts.
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.
what's slide casting ?
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
!faq slidecasting
• 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
i told her about the two requisite quests at black shroud and she already has them too
yet the moogle doesnt show up at limsa
she's missing Sweet Words, Shadowy Dealings, but it doesnt show up...
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?
looks like its on fire right?
the main story quests, yes
well..you can see it right there, yes lol
how bout the ones with the + on them are they not important?
are optional but unlock optional/additional content generally but
are mostly lore/flavor and little exp, can be ignored
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
thank you a lot!
basically if there is a little ! under the msq tracker DO THAT IMMEDIATELY
always always always prioritize job quests when they appear and then go back to msq
^
otherwise just do the msq tracker
Try this
Central Shroud: Marcette x16 y18, and do all quests from her and near her.
that might be the missing ones to unlock the next quest.
Ohhhh I see
Any mods around? Lol
thanks!
#discord-modmail @ebon needle
Gotcha
Can someone explain what's going on? I got gems, I got books, and I got some tech parts? Do you need 15 of each for the quests?
and am I missing anything else?
30 of each
30 of each
Whoa mama.
Oh...
hmm the game is telling me that i'm "not authorized to participate in this hunt"... what does that mean?
its a one time step, so if you want more than 1 relic you dont have to do it again
you need to be a higher rank in the grand company
The Grand company hunt board needs you to be 2nd Lieutenant.
anyone willing to part with some pieces from the augmented ala mhigan gathering set? im looking for them to add to my collection
not really the channel for it tbh. try the market board..?
yeah the marketboard is much more likely to have it than anyone here.
no market bopard on aether data center has them listed to sell, all cleaned out
unless.. is ther a marketboard chennal????
nope.
okay so I've been trying to get a pf group for cinder drift ex for like 3 days now. no ones joining
do i just transfer to Tonberry and look for an FC and then do it
FC people would join
lemme check
and are you standing in a crowded area where lvl 80s are likely to be hanging out
and being out in limsa/eulmore/gangos helps bc ppl click on you to see what the pf is
o
most people already have what they want from ruby ex anyway
ig ill switch to Tonberry and look for an fc
???
25 minutes is not long enough for a pf for old content to fill lol
This is his thing
also people are just getting off work in japan
He comes in here every day to complain that people don't join his PF
it’s not peak hours yet
LOL
hi uh i just bought the complete edition of the game and couldnt make a viera or a hrothgar so to make sure everything is working properly i restarted
if i face a problem I'm going to ask for a fucking solution here
now its updating, is this normal?
what do you say in your pf?
updates are good
ill send a ss
should be normal, MW
ok ok good
did you enter the code?
mhm on mogstation

ok thanks for the swift responses
dog im talking to you
what's your fucking problem
yep
that should be it
18 of em
@proud willow
@rotund spruce sorry unrelated just one message
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH
good night
no worries ig
Respectufully, someone gave you a proper solution and you just basically ignored it
havent played an mmo in years, hopefully this game will quench my thirst
how did i ignore it
Then proceeded to state your own solution
im literally in limsa atm
hope you enjoy! 
i tped to limsa
i listed to the advice given
ty very much 🙂
I'mma head out b4 it gets heated o7
don't talk shit next time
Calm down. This is not the channel for it.
also @manic rune
What game
oh one more question, just overall how balanced are the dps classes? like if i pick one over another am i gonna have a significantly worse or better experience or is it generally pretty balanced?
!faq meta
ffxiv is very balanced across jobs
Yeah any dps is viable
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
Right now they're very balanced. Things could change when the expansion hits in November but for now everything is *chef's kiss*
At least for me
it’s all subjective
Not because of bad dps
i made a mistake?
try things out, and see what you like
yep, you got plenty of time before the next expansion hits
not a "mistake" but people won't join if you post it like that in my exp
for description, say " フリロ 5周"; then just make sure it says practice, first timer welcome in settings
are different races better at different classes?
no
and by slight he means absolutely not worth it
oh alrighty
While each race does have differing base stats, at higher levels, the differences are completely insignificant.
Racial stat differences are incredibly small, to the point where I'm not sure why they even have them
alright neat then
single digit differences when end-game provides those by the thousands
to add some characteristic on them
but not limit players to those choice when using certain race
i think its nice to have
just pick whatever race you think is cool/cute/whatever
👍
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
(you will not get that if you buy a story skip, fwiw)
also you can find macro on google or wherever; people tend to avoid pf with too inexperience people
oh thats pretty generous
lmao why would anybody skip the story? isnt that like half the appeal of a final fantasy game?
some people are just not interested
520 ilvl for ruby weapon is also really high but im not gonna go into that lol
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
i do skip as well
oh ok i can definitely see the appeal for alts
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.
just to progress faster to unlock everything behind MSQ
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?
roleplay purposes
different data centers
aahhh
or to visit friends on different data centers, yeah
that is changing though, since we're getting cross datacenter travel soon
also Raid loot is weekly locked so like..if you wanna raid a LOT or with multiple groups and not screw them outta loot...
alright well thanks for the quick answers im gonna sleep while this updates because its going rather slow
Will cross data server allow raiding in other data center?
ciao
Or we dont know yet?
we don't know yet
Souka
are you on PC? i could recommend the custom launcher for faster downloads..
custom launcher?
!faq xivlauncher
try the vanilla launcher first, and use that if it's giving you errors
it doesn't happen to everyone
it does structured/tiered downloading so small stuff still downloads while big files are, making things exponentially faster.
alright thanks
don't worry if your download process gets interrupted, the game restarts downloads where it left off
Sooo, does the chocobo companion only gets EXP when its summoned?
yes
open world yes
Ok thanks
oh thanks
Will I know when the plot is available for purchase?
no
you just need to keep clicking the placard
- you either get the house
- or another person clicking gets it
that's when you find out
Ahhhhh
also note that someone relocating their plot automatically bypasses the timer
so there are situations where you might end up losing the plot to someone who wasn't there clicking at all
That's messed up
What level materials can I gain spiritbond in while gathering with a level 80 gathering set?
if it's the Aesthete/scrip sets, then basically only the starred materials from the folklore books.
So I’m lvl 50 and I was told I could get better gear using poetic tomes but I don’t know how to get poetic tomes, none of my duties seem to provide them
did you finish ARR yet?
No
you need to finish the lvl 50 quest The Ultimate Weapon to unlock poetic vendors
I read I could also get them by unlocking a level 50 dungeon
Which you get from a unlock quest
Hey i'm super new to Ninja and was just wondering what hotkeys people use for their ninjutsu (ten,chi,etc)
Finding it hard to find comfortable keys
I'm strictly kb+m
I would have them side by side surely
i have them on ctrl 1-4 for ten chi jin ninjutsu
so huton 321, suiton 123, raiton 12, etc
well, that plus 4
for ninjutsu
main combo is 123(armor crush on 4)
Hello! I am trying to use some triad / achievements type of trackers, and they want me to log in using my discord. Unfortunately, it seems that my discord is not connected to my account / character. How do I connect them? Some kind of bot command?
might be connected to kupo bot, in which case use this command in #kupo-bot-spam
!iam servername firstname lastname
whats this?
So, I've surmised, in order to unlock Bozjah. (Returning player btw), I need to do up to a certain MSQ point, then get a relic weapon from Shadowbringers.
Do I need to do Return to Ivalice first to initiate the relic weapon quest?
Yeah you may want to finish ivalice first
its pre req for relic quest chain
Alright. Are there any other things that I can do? I've brought up all my tank classes to 80, but I'm way behind I am guessing on certain things like relic weapon etc
Yes, the whole return to ivalice quest chain and 5.0 msq needs to be finished
So 5.0 msq, return to ivalice, nothing else?
Correct
Gotcha, thank you very much.
Can you check your remaining sub days on the mogstation website or only on the log-in screen ingame?
mogstation has it aswell
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
it's how you get collectables as a gatherer.
!faq dolcollect
thanks
it's bundled with your subscription payment
ah, hrm
guess I should wait for my current sub to run out then before I get a third retainer
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
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?
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
Determination also affects how much you're healed for
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
ah so a sub is about 1.3k crysta?
euro
When you go to by crysta it explains it's pricing
Hey, what class do i have to choose if i want to play a white mage?
mogstation was trying to charge me 1 EUR for a single day of a retainer
It's literally the same, just a fancy way of saying you've money on mogstation
or 4 crysta
conjurer
Thanks!
When you get a retainer it'll charge you for the remaining days you have on your sub
Is there a housing item which fences off people?
So if your sub only has 2 weeks left
well my sub has one day left
You could build something, but they'd have to clip into it
Something like those
What are those called?
the lines protecting the walls
I may be stupid but I don't remember the name
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
Might of been mispriced
!iglam Rope Stanchion
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
ok i guess i know what im doing then
If i play a healer, is levling / solo content a pain in the ass?
not really
a bit slower for story, but much safer
at times it can take a bit longer to kill stuff but you basically never die to anything
being able to heal yourself gives you vastly more survivability and room for error.
can also heal NPCs in solo duties if needed
(or you go scholar and your fairy keeps you topped up)
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
There are many quest rewards for you.
What is your MSQ level and what are you currently wearing
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
Healer solo content is slow but it's totally made up for with Instant Dungeon queues and survivability like noted prior.
haha fair enough
It's not that slow, healers can dps just fine.
btw how long do you have to wait after buying an extra retainer before being able to employ them?
what
should be immediately be able to hire them
Should be instantaneous
What is the level requirement of your current MSQ
ohh, I can only do it in one of the main 3 cities
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
Open your journal and look at the quest
was trying to do it in the crystarium
36
You should've been given a decent amount of gear for your level.
I cant wear it.. its worse than what I have or not for my class
you also get gear from dungeons
You must have overlooked the DRG gear you were offered.
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
Thanks
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
hrm
That's for dragoons.
yea...back in the day we'd share accessories and such heh
The Disciple of War stuff is worse than my lvl 24 gear but whatever, I get through fine
Thank you
Worse how?
If you're looking at the defense stat, don't
Prioritise item level, weapon damage and strength.
What should I look at then
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
there's a small button in the equip menu with circling arrows, it will eqip your current best in slot gear
usually
for 1-49 basically just the highest equip level gear most of the time
no the altered linen chausses are caster/healer gear....
there is no strength on them.
no, first item is item lvl 36 and 2nd is 23 BUT the first set is a caster set.
Pick gear with strength on it.
so if you were a caster, sure, theyre better.
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
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.
Recommended button should be fine
heavily noticeable in 2.0 where accessories with 1 def/mdef are favored over real stats.
worth noting, not worth arguing.
sometimes weird stuff with it prioritising substats
assuming I already have a miner and botanist retainer, is a combat or fisher one more preferable?
Combat
Fisher items just really aren't used a lot
Silly question about armoury bonus. Does it activate only when a job is lower than my highest level? Or does lower exp count 😅
lower level
Ajght thanks!
