Thereโs 3 gatherers
it is a decent chunk of exp regardless
You only have one unlocked
@outer mural Makes sense, it's a bit weird if a barber was also a skilled surgeon.
i would do it since it's not hard and it's free seals / exp
what about the supply part, what do i need to get missions there?
is that for the crafting skills?
Supply is crafters yes
provisioning also includes crafters
supply i do not remember what it does
let me check
So what's the required level to get the tasks here?
none
you just need to have them unlocked
So just unlock the class
they scale with your character level each daily reset
So in this case, I won't get any tasks until tomorrow, right?
did you find it yet?
ye
ok good
For example I unlock Botanist now, I won't come back to find a botanist task
it was all the way i nthe bottom
correct, Dolphin
actually, it might for the first time you unlock a class
I would check just in case
Shame. Wish I had known this yesterday ๐
Alright I will check and then report back ๐
nah, try it out. unlocking botanist takes 2 seconds
yeah i knew it was there just wasn't any marker, but ya got there in the end
lemme know how it is, wanna learn this myself
brb as well, gonna check what supply does
Also you can check the needed items on the go by pressing crtl U
Think I might actually apply the code soon if I grab all of the gathering/crafting jobs now
I have a feeling inventory space might become a problem
apply the code?
I'm a trial account as of now
oh i see
also, i highly suggest levelling up all crafters nd gatheerers at the same time
what should i spend my poetics tomestones on.. i have no idea but im full
there's a powerleveling area after beating the 3.3 MSQ
it's becuase all gathers and crafters share armor for stats
and thus if you level them up all at the same time, your inventory's fine
Lower altitude
!faq poetics
wdym?
dive into the lake, go into the cave down there
right?
The arrow for the quest marker is pointing down, so youโre above where you need to be
didn't they say "hey we're going into the lake"?
because i had no issues there in my playthrough
i skip
granted i did in other areas tho
that's gonna have you at wit's end in ShB areas lol
so i should not skip cutscenes in sb
kinda but
they can be kinda long but u don't miss out on much on skipping a few of the intermediate cutscenes
though around here i wouldn't skip nearly as much
i'd just click through fast
na i just skip
skimming is fine
to boring
up 2 u then
you wont know whats happening but ok
i dont know whats goin on now XD
This is what i go
got
In ARR it was kill the empire, in Heavensward it was kill dragons and end the war. Right now in Stormblood we are freeing some area's from the Empire son again
thats all i got
not really
@outer mural unlocking the new class gave me a task with the GC
So what do people usually go for with the poetics? I mean I see the options but, Im guessing some things are more important that others?
BASED
does lost banner actions an area of effect?
Have you found out what the supply thing was for?
could u tell me then?
no
Crafters
this was correct
I thought crafters will also be in provisioning?
supply for crafters
Ahh okay, awesome
why :/
gearing main and alt classes first, then relics or whatever strikes your fancy
i just forgot for a sec
because im not going to repeat 40+ hours worth of story when you can just play it
in order of operations:
- armor for classes i am currently playing at 50/60/70
- armor for classes i am going to be playing at 50/60/70
- materials for anima relic (research this and then ask if you care)
- armor for classes i don't really care about but might play in the future
- materials to sell
speaking of gear and inventory
i've read about turning items over to the GC (once you unlock it)
should i just keep everything until then?
also, other than for glamour, are there any weapons/armors i should NOT sell and NOT turn into the GC?
correct, after getting ah igh enough rank you can turn in certain rarities of gear for seals. keep what you have until then as long as you don't clog ur inventory too much
sell / turn-in everything that you aren't using for actual combat or glam, gear being kept is only a priority at higher levels for different pieces of content. by that point you should know what to keep
Got it, thanks ๐
99% of gear in this game can be gotten again
just dont throw away limited time event glam and stuff you bought form mogstation obviously
Any crafters here?
alrighty thank you
are there any limited time events going on or coming up soon?
can i get heavensward raids before finishing the post heavensward stuff
yes there is
i bought shadowbringers but i still cant play samari, did i do something wrong?
yes
yes
@leaden ginkgo are you level 50?
do you have a class at level 50 and beat ARR?
Whatโs better - a penta melded primary tool or a 500 skysteel primary tool?
yes lvl 51 nin
you dont need to beat ARR to play samurai
pentamelded
oh no i havent beat arr yet
im gonna fight the bird lady but i wanted to get samari
does dueling in Bojza contents give you echo? Or the boss has nerfed stat?
i believe i answered this and tagged you earlier but to repeat what I said:
neither is necessarily better, answer is to grab what's cheaper
it's becuase their stats are very similar where one has a slightly higher gain in one area than the other
so pick whatever is more affordable, it entirely depends on the set you're going for
go to uldah and do the quest the way of the samurai
no, duels don't get echo because they're always 1v1
it says stormblood needs to be installed/registered
yes and you bought shadowbringers
swore you did but you know more about it than me so i concede
which includes stormblood
^
unless you just didn't install shadowbringers
was your title screen the purple and yellow shadowbringers one with the loud HOOOOOME
or was it the regular ARR title screen that's blue
It's possible that they kept their client open and haven't downloaded the content.
the tital screen has a purple mist on bottom
XD
no
did you apply the code for shadowbringers to your account on mogstation
you just haven't installed shadowbringers and additionally stormblood
oh ok
also yeah did u apply the code
i havent installed dlc before on steaqm how do i do it lol
open your cd keys and put in the code on mog station
i didnt see a download button only a play now button
it appears u didn't apply the code for shadowbringers
?
follow cerberus's instructions
the code?
yes
ok
yeah you have to apply a code to your account as well in addition to have bought it
where can i see the code now?
i didnt see one when i bought it or i just missed it
Since I'm gonna be unlocking all of the gathers/crafters today, should I also be unlocking the starting classes early on or is there no benefit in that?
!faq steamkey
no benefit, no negative
thanks ๐
really up to you if you just wanna have em ready to go
just got to heavensward content, the crystal tower series capped my Allagan Tomestone of Poetics. What should I spend them on?
!faq poetics
Think I'll skip then, thanks again ๐
ironworks gear
you can find the vendors for them in the city states. the easiest one for me to find is to head to Ul'dah, exit out of the main aetheryte area, then turn to your left
there will be a sundry splendors vendor with a neat menu presenting your options for Ironworks gear
it will be the best level 50 gear you can have your hands on rn
!faq steamkey
what is step 5 it is cut off
click the button to register expansions
Oh, something else I was wondering. Is anyone here a mentor on the light data center and could shoot me an invite to the newbie channel?
Are there any other mount i can buy besides rex from chests in Eureka Anemos?
ok i got shadowbringers now thanks guys ๐
no, and additionally it's not buyable, it's exclusively from the boxes
there is the red mage barding however
I see. Same goes for pagos?
Pagos and onward are (oddly) containing contents that are tradable
It is only Anemos
So you can buy Pagos, Pyros and Hydatos contents off the mb, although they can cost a pretty penny at times
By contents you mean?
Are there any parts i can skip in pagos by any chance?
Just curious
Maybe some resources i can buy to speed the process
I will be doing it all as it should be done still
is HoH ok exp solo?
oh you mean levelling up in Pagos and getting through it
Youโre not going for exp if youโre doing a solo deep dungeon
if you haven't:
- buy harmony potions, this will increase your exp in Eureka for drinking it
- buy a Kirin's Osode for your Disciple of War class, OR buy a Vermillion Cloak for a caster class
the osode/cloak makes you significantly more powerful than without
I got the cloak
Can i improve it?
I was wandering that
I can put materia in i see
besides materia no
cloak by itself is fine
other than that there's not much else you can do
what class btw?
Ohh I see, thank you for letting me know ^^
Question, how is the combat late game in this? And the pace of the game? I don't really mind if it's a slower pace game, but I've just noticed I've played for a solid 10? min and so far walked 
that's because you've played the game for 10 minutes
If i were to add materia, what kind could i?
at lvl 80 most jobs are fast paced
Fair, that being said, not used to so much, hmm, talking I guess, but interesting at least so thats a +.
this is a final fantasy game
its going to be 75% story
this is an ff game first, mmo story
more like 90%
so prepare to click through dialogue
you bought a cloak or an osode?
Ok hooh
meld Crit until you cap or get close to cap (do not meld if it would waste stats)
then Det
Warrior hates Direct Hit so don't touch that
I also got all 5 of them crystals that give buff
very good
I should just save the lockboxes right?
No use opening them for now. I got the rex mount already
And i think you can only open at a time anyway ๐คฃ

at the select residential ward menu, what do red/ green names symbolize?
and s m l is the size of the house?
yes
what does the speech bubble mean?
save or open up, doesn't matter
no benefit saving them
You can have like a little message about your house
ah ok ๐
iirc mousing over the bubble shows the message
and what do the tags mean?
flavor
so when there is no house with a price in tje ward list no house is free to buy?
yes
but there may still be free appartments?
ye
you can tell if an apartment building is full or not buy the icon on the map
iirc there's like a little red x on it
has every ward appartments/ how do I find a ward with appartments?
every ward has an apartment building
yes
im alone.
Itโs on a person basis
basically for the fetes its 6 > 3 > 4 > 4 > 6 for gold
Only your score matters
ill spam fete to get some gil and outfits
so 6 correct emotes on a twist of fete, 3 turn ins for made of softer soft, 4 for shear a yak, 4 for toy hunter and 6 for presents of mind
which way is the fastest for the 30/30/30 relic step?
like would i be better off just spamming the raids, or doing zadnor until i hit 30 of either one for each zone then finishing up with raids so i dont end up with too many of one
i just did most of them in zadnor by ranking up for story
then finished with raids
the skirmish ones are faster in zadnor imo, at least it feels that way
bc you dont have to wait for a party

does ranged DPS has physical damage attack by default in Bojza?
ok thanks! helps me with my valor grind too lol
putting a physical-damage buff won't make me stronger as a Bard against physical-weak enemies?
it will
well
steelsing wont
if thats what you mean
because your skills are already physical
mhm ok
but something like lost rampage will
Everything should really be done in zadnor except the zone 3 CE ones. Those should be done outside imo and runs of e3 take like what, 3,4 minutes if u do all dps and one healer
zadnor for materials from skirmish
CE ones you can just do while still in zadnor but after you're done with skirmish mats, go for raids to clean up the rest
i ran a4, o3, e3 for my raid mats
how can I deny access to my appartment?
Social > Housing > Estate Settings > Apartment > Guest Access Settings
damn ur quick
i was gonna type a question when i saw theirs pop up~ ๐
so when the 2 boxes under guest access settings are checked anybody can enter, and unchecked means only I can enter?
@outer mural thanks ๐
private estate access, unchecked, means only you can have access~ c:
teleportation doesn't apply to apartments - it's for housing, where you can put an aetheryte outside of your house for quick access
genuinely forgot to ask lmao, thank you!!
does anyone know if you need to be on a level 80 job to get Raw Emotions from HoH~?
no
as long as you have the quest you can do it on any class
i have gotten memories from another relic from farming fates as BLU mage for example
i did all of them on blue mage so it's pretty flexible
oh
is it a thing where like, there's only a chance to drop in HoH~? i just did a 21-30 run on my lv61 AST and didn't get anything
the higher the floors the better
ohhhh kk, gotcha. back to dumbum with me it is~ ๐
i found lvl 70 dungeons wayy faster since its 100%
Dalriada drops 3 if you wanna fish for that
level 70 dungeons will be most consistent. Probably quicker too, could knock out 3 in the same time as you'd do Dal or a DR
might just do 70 dungeons now that you mention it <.<
DR is only more efficient if you are doing the timeworn quest for another class
i had like 7 min runs of the burn with blue mage
i mean i am but also, i've had my fill of DR for a while ๐
BLU might be good if i can find a PF. thanks all!! c:
Theres a buncha pfs rn in primetime for it
On crystal anyway
If not make ur own
Hells lid is fastest
GNB insta-queues 
so what is the best item to donate to doman enclave now?
allagan silver pieces
my friend jsut lvl 50 where can she buy gear so has a lot of outdated pieces
you can buy gear with allagan tomestone of poetics
you can buy the level 50 gear for that at any of the three city states or Mor Dhona
Just out of curiosity, but if I were to get a static to clear Savage 1st floor with decent leveled players (cleared multiple extremes but not savage), how many practices do you think we need?
i find it is easiest to go to Ul'dah, exit out of the aetheryte plaza, make an immediate left
you can see a vendor there that sells Ironworks gear called Sundry Splendors
Those do require you to finish the ARR msq first
yeah she just hit 50 first time
Other wise for lvl 50, complete the lvl 50 job quests and you get a decent set of gear
Weapon just use any dungeon drops highest level, or vendor weapon
2 sesses of a few hours or so of prog, i guess. it's a really hard question to answer based on how well your team adapts to strats but if you're fairly decent it doesn't take long
Accessories aren't that important yet, just use any dungeon dropsn
honestly, she should just focus on the msq
The last 2 dungeons of base ARR give decent poetics
just focus on the MSQ instead of holding up on getting a full set of poetics yeah
it'll give you gear soon enough
she'll get better accessories via post msq which will cover her just fine
Do you think around 4 practices with 2 hour each would be enough? I just want to get an approximate amount of time that it would take to clear savage 1st floor, because it would be difficult to leave static after many practices.
2 hours each? sure, 8 hours total sounds like plenty
though you would really have to milk those sessions and get a lot of pulls in
Thanks! For not difficult extremes, I usually join 2-3 practice parties for 1 hour to clear and few more to comfortably clear, so I think it would take around 2-3 times that?
yes
Also, would you suggest static for savage 1?
i would suggest a static for most things if you are looking to clear
Thanks!
consistency is the most important part to getting through a fight
hi all - what's the loot for first time clear of Castrum Meridianum?
so a static would help with that
just poetics
no gear
set #?
yes
how many?
Also, just more thing, but we recently created a static for SoS extreme because it is the most difficult extreme, and wondering how much practices we need. All members have some experience in extreme or savages
14 irregular is from an event
its 200 poetics
unrelated to its normal rewards
100 for first time bonus
The 14 Is for the moogle event
hmm not seeing in my inventory..
honestly, the best thing to do is just to get in and start doing it
prog is practice
Poetics are currency
Thanks!
they're not items that are put into your inventory, they're in the currency menu
They donโt go in inventory

If it's around 10 hours of practice to clear savage 1st, I might start recruiting a static to clear 1st floor. Wondering, but if I would like to go to 2nd, 3rd as well, is it also additional 10 hours each?
On a per minute basis, would a level 34 trial (the navel) give more xp than say a level 32 dungeon?
no
yes
Not at all
Trials give very very low exp
the bulk of exp gains is from dungeon mobs
so no
Trials are only worth doing for exp with a roulette
kk
And they're still worse than a dungeon, just not negligible
So getting a normal trial during leveling roulette is the worst
Eh, in that case you can just do a high level dungeon after and you've come out ahead
Bit of column a, bit of b
leveling roulette scales with the level difference of you and the instance
that is extremely unusual
but either way generally getting normal trials in leveling roulette means its not going to be amazing exp but the upside is its going to be fast
idk why it just doesn't scale off of ur current level but w/e
I mean, it basically does. It adjusts how much exp you'd get to approximately the same % if you'd done it on level.
what was the default function of the F key?
I overwrote it before checking what i overwrote
you're not really being punished tho
its still decent exp from the roulette, you're just...not getting exp from dungeon mobs like you would if you had gotten a normal dungeon rather than a trial
targetting party members @left whale
i see..
fair enough kael
How much mettle do I need for R25?
25m
how do I desynth an item?
Providing you've unlocked it, right click menu
how do I unlock it?
this was the wrong channel
there should be a quest, let me grab it for u
Gone to Pieces, given by Syntgoht at Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (X:14.0, Y:10.0)
be on a disciple of the hand or the land
got it. whats the max desnyth skill level?
510?? thats a lot... thanks ๐
You donโt need that much tho
you don't need to level it at all to get certain mats anymore
i just got to 25 and i need 200 grand company token to get my mount insurance.. whats a quick way to get those ? im new
They give it to you donโt they?
Do the next msq quest
made it to level 9, making my way through the main quest, dont really have a specific question im just feeling a bit... overwhelmed? it's neat, and fun but boy is there a lot of information to take in and a lot of quests to choose from
do you wnt
the extensive and long beginner's guide on how to deal with the excessive information at hand
the answer is: just do the MSQ and focus on nothing else if you are lost/overwhelmed
MSQ will give you exp, unlocks, and gear without much thought, and you need to do it to progress anyway
MSQ being the main story quest of course with this logo 
nod
of ocourse one nuance you should know: there is a guide on your screen that tells you which MSQ quest you need to do next
yeah after a bit i realized the sidequests werent like, necessary or anything so I've been getting back to MSQ - tho im debating how much i want to divert for the Arcanist guild questline
underneath that will be a 'job quest' that you need to do to unlock skills for ur quest
just do that ASAP
it gets you exp, some skills, and some gear as well
only two things you should worry about is that + MSQ
Ugh. Somewhat of a first world problem question - I see a TON of level 50 dungeons. But going into HW, you see dungeons for level 51, 53, and so on/so forth
sup Chris
Is it pointless to do any of the other 50 dungeons?
frankly? yes, it is for completion's sake and side unlocks
as where u are now, there is no real point in doing them
save them for later for fun
a fantastic idea
Newish player here, interested in ranged classes cause I mained hunter/warlock in wow. What out of the disciples of magic classes are the best to play for dps and since you unlock classes as you hit certain levels whats the best to spec into at later levels?
you don't really spec
all of them are viable, and no specs
you just play the class that looks cool
correct
If this isn't the truth ๐
the good thing about FFXIV is that all classes have a place in every raid
any reccomendations
for phys ranged, i'm big on MCH, for caster, i like SMN a lot
between ranged / casters in generla, or just magic/caster classes?
My first class was Archer/Bard which ended up being pretty cool once I unlocked Bard!
Well i do think the red mage looks cool cause they have a rapier but i think i need to level a char to a certain level to unlock it yes?
Not sure if that really counts as caster tho?
correct
they unlock at level 50, and start at level 50
meaning that you can pick them up immediately
its physical ranged ye
okey cool so basically just level a char to 50 or does it need to be specific class
i highly recommend red mage, they have many appealing features such as a self-heal for certain situations, and a battle res
they are also fun yet simple
any class up to level 50
any
you just need a level 50 char to get them
thats awesome really appreciate this help, wanted to get into the game for some time but never had friends to do it with and at the time i had 0 clue discord existed lmao
Red mage has a simple rotation but has to balance where it is since some is ranged and some is melee
Well welcome to the game!
yes welcome!
red mage is simple to pick up and get, but has an decent amount of optimization that can be fun imo
we answer most if not all questions
thank you much @modest igloo for explaining the rotation and the kind words
simply pick what looks fun, and i assure u red mage is super fun
and ye welcome
paragon said what i wa thinking
ty much Jim
I should really try Red Mage again. I didn't really get into it and was just trying to unlock it and get through Stormblood honestly.
gonna summon a mech in the middle of the fight
if only MCH didn't have the most scuffed running animation
i like it, it's kinda military like
The game kind of shits a lot of information that isn't really relevant on you early on, don't worry too much about it
but to each their own
I'm 100% sure people don't run like that in the military ROFL
"here's the group finder, you won't use it until 80 most likely"
Would I have to make a new char entirely once I hit level 50 or can I like change my current character to the Red Mage at level 50?
not sure i asked that or not
The latter
you can be every class on one chracter
Once you're 50, you'll just find the red mage starter quest in uldah
oh wooooooooah thats cap
Or was it 60?
50
i think dancer is 60
and own stormblood
Assuming you're playing the complete edition
okey yeah i own all epacs
yeha GNB and DNC are 60 and own shadowbrigners
then the moment you get to 50 you can try it out!
Changing jobs is just changing weapons
could be worse, could be DRK idle
haven't seen that yet
y'all hatin on the stuff i like lmao
any server rec? i have Faerie Siren or Gilgamesh
!faq serverpick
other 2 are locked for new chars it says
ugh
rip my b
at any rate, every server is fine
err
drk battle rather
idle is based
but the battle stance by default is so bad
since it's cross-DC no server is dead
pick any that are preferred
I'd say Cactuar but it's usually hit or miss if that one is open haha
so quick quesiton in regards to materia melding for tanks. Do any of the tanks have specific materia priorities? or is it universal?
tanks want pretty much the same as DPS
this is because it has so many guaranteed direct hit skills that DH is a direct loss on WAR compared to det
otherwise it's SkS to necessary amount then Crit > DH > Det > Ten
Can you farm Clusters in Bozja?
yes akira
is there a good way to get an approximation of what items are selling regularly on the marketboards besides like.... checking the sale history of every single item?
yep there's a few spots @ripe hound
third-party websites such as Universalsis or XIVMarketboard
i do not know, Akira
it would not hurt to form ur own party though
Yeah, make sense
just do the "cluster farm lfg"
kk
I've seen cluster groups in zadnor
Do I need to look up a guide?
But people usually are doing so to spawn ces
as Bard, I supposed to use voice song attack at 100% of the gauge?
Is there a recommended guide for Zandor Cluster farm?
you usually just pull as many magitek mobs as you can
Rather than for the clusters themselves
If you're Warrior with bloodsucker you can just mass pull alone
Most of the time, yes
No War... only leveled the other 3
NOT BASED
It is an AOE GCD skill
Other tanks can probably do so too, but easiest on Warrior and I've not tried that others
but any tank with bloodsucker is fine
Just manage your cooldowns will
so in otherwords, if im maining a WAR, then i should prioritize SkS
Well
when I AoE a group of monsters in dungeon, is it worth to use the song with Pitch Perfect? I feel like the AoE-reset song and the atk.speed song work better.
No, you should get SKS to tier then prioritize Crit
after you've hit the GCD of 2.43 or 2.37 you dont need anymore SkS
correct
If Iโm maxed out on poetics, what should I use them on aside from gear
pitch perfect should be used after your aoe reset song is on CD
atk speed is still marginally worse than the free poteny from pitch perfect afaik
anima relics are a great way to chew thorugh poetics for fancy glam
and thus should be used last
Buy gear, sell them for gils or trade them for GC seals
Sorry what are anima relics lol
Army song is basically a filler
Heavenward relic
ah ok. Cuz my WAR skill speed is at 2.40 seconds
Anima is a weapon series
i guess ill go for crit next
the issue with 2.40 is the upheaval alignment
crit is the best substat
It is basically a grind fest to get glowing weapons
so always go for it where u can
it'll drift extremely hard in comparison to the listed alternatives
after SkS is set to what u want it as
2.37/2.38/2.43 are the "best" comfy alignments for upheaval such that they don't hard drift out of IR
but its not like its unplayable at other gcds
every expansion has a set of relics named different things
ARR: Zodiac Zeta
Heavensward: Anima
Stormblood: Eureka
Shadowbringers: Resistance
Crit has no diminishing return or tiers
it has tiers
More is simply better
Crit has tiers
Oh
I mean, every stat has tiers
Huh
all substats run on tiers
does the AoE Shadowbite's potency boost work on other monsters inflicted with both DoT around the target? Or only the target?
!faq stats
it's just that it's the only one that scales well in lietrally every scenario
Just not in the same way SKS does
Crit increases chance AND damage
Ahhh
DH is a dead stat on WAR because DH only increases chance, not damage
@plain python just your main target need to be inflicted with both dots
In the case of SKS, you're looking for a specific number to make cooldowns line up neatly
meaning Det is preferred since WAR has guarnateed crit direct hit tools
!action shadowbite
Delivers an attack with a potency of 100 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: If the target is suffering from a Caustic Bite or Stormbite effect inflicted by you, Shadowbite potency is increased to 160 for one effect, or 220 for both
Shares a recast timer with Sidewinder.
as you can see materia can be a little complex lol
In the case of the other stats "tier" just means "point where rate actually increases"
lol its just a pain in the butt since i like playin all the tank roles xD
so favoritism is balanced kek
If you are hitting a group of enemies, just make sure one of them has two dots, and use them to max your shadowbite
yes
Having said that outside of literally attempting to go bis thinking about non SKS tiering is not worth the effort
^
Det is a much smaller loss for the other tanks than DH is for Warrior, so most people who multi tank do Det > DH
the answer is to just just rock DH on warrior if you don't really like it over the other tanks
Crit is never the wrong answer when it's possible
and vice-versa if WAR is your favorite
DH isn't the worst thing to have if you are going to play other tanks too
because it still has value outside of non-IR non-infuriate
is it optimal
ofc not but it won't kill you
no silly
OW
no i'm serious
anyway yeah it depends on your priorities as a tank
i play WAR as my main tank so i run det melds
finna IR poor jimi lmao
Hey, I see that to become a like black mage i have to level up another job is that true because i see conflictngi info
no thats dated info
You start as a thaumaturge
a question about Hydaelyn and zodiark
||They are primals ? or was||
just level thaumaturge to 30 and get to the right msq level
not necessarily true
it's because you start as Thaumaturge and that turns into BLM
they are exactly the same class
just different names
cross classing isn't a thing anymore
Implied yes
hasn't been for years
get to shadowbringers
what's your MSQ at?
Working on my GC tasks for today I'm noticing that changing between the classes for every step of a multi-step project is pretty cumbersome.
Is there any way to streamline the process? I already have gear setups for each on a hotbar
||emet told us about it||
yes, gear-sets
||not even implied. They just straight up are||
||then yes, they are||
wah
ah okay, so what level main quest is it roughly
poggers
not really, other than having gear sets. you still have to close the crafting window
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
So basically it doesn't get any less cumbersome than what I'm doing already, eh? ๐
ah okay thank you
oh that is what u mean
yeah no it sucks
you have to close the menu every time yeah, it is butts
i will get more information about them in shb ?
Crafting is a bit of a UI clusterfuck, yes
is there a discord for treasure map parties
That is indeed butts
no, i was saying that ||emet telling you they are primals straight-up is what answers ur question||
||wait and see||
Yes please look forward to it
the best way is to sort of plan what needs to be made and minimize the switching needed but otherwise not much
ok thanks !
use tools like teamcraft to plan that
This channel is for new or returning players to ask questions about Final Fantasy XIV. As a reminder this channel is a troll free and an off-topic free zone. For general discussion please use #general-discussion. <@&473626701947994134> are available to help in this channel. Thank-You, Kupo!
i also search what i need to make so going back and forth is less of a pita
as the name for the thing is saved in your search log
Is there something like a google sheet or similar where you plug in everything you want to craft and it'll tell you all the required items?
Preferably grouped up by required jobs as well to help minimize the switching ๐
^
Teamcraft like others mentioned earlier iirc
Ah didn't catch that
np
is there a ffxiv discord for treasure map lfg?
aether hunts would probably have something that
teamcraft and garland tools are the big websites people use regularly @gusty island
check in #resources see what we got there
@pastel sparrow
tyy
Bookmarked both of those
typically map parties are done in pf so it might not have a dedicated discord
its impromptu enough and doesn't require much skill
blu can do the 70 ones
i expect you can do the 80 ones on war
but it'll be slow
and if you're unlucky on bonus adds you might suffer
yeah does it still sync you down to 505?
How long does it take for kupo to update my glamour

!me
i do not know then
Iโm in my drg gear on lodestone
when was the last time u logged off

anyone cool to answer extremely basic questions for a new player?
bojza Haunting/Vexatious Memory: i can find fate trains easy in Far East but cant find any parties for Gyr Abania fates. Afew ppl at most and none of them wanna party up
why the disparity? omg help
at this rate im gonna take twice the time for haunting memory
could likely just be the time of day, and that people have already knocked out fates in Gyr Abannia
also probably just different zones, though I imagined u tried all 3
worst comes to worst, slap up a party finder
yes tried all 3. i suppose at off peak hour too
@vestal matrix someone will answer.
oh wells will try tonight again
yeah sorry i missed this, shoot
sweet. basically I am brand new, bought the game from the sale and have never played an mmorpg so bear with me
no problem!
before you enter the code though, would be wise to download the trial first
Im playing with a buddy, we prioritized playing in the same server/world/starting city so we're both thaumaturge
yes: the code can be saved at any point until later since it doesn't expire
yea we signed up only so we could party up

could have gotten someone else to party you guys up but thats fine too
yea but then we have to ask someone every time we play, seemed like a hassle
we played the trial for like a day and knew we were into it lol
based
so I am lvl 20 thaumaturge I think Im going to go red mage cause I keep hearing its a dope class
ok starting class for a new player?
it definitely is... a trip to level
Red mage is easy to pick up
can't really start as red mage because its an expansion job, and does need you to be level50 before you can unlock it
but its fine to play whatever you want
Oh yes thay
!faq newplayertips
it's fine, any class is. thaumaturge i mean but it's definitely not as beginner friendly as other classes due to its constantly changing rotation as it levels up along with certain nuances you must learn
that being said, red mage is very dope. you can rock thaumaturge/black mage until 50 and then directly dive into it
red mage is simple yet very fun. it's straightforward, feels complete at all level ranges past 50
I'm like an intermediate player. Most classes/jobs haven't been too bad. I think ff14 is pretty balanced and friendly from what ive seen.
it's one of my favorite classes, definitely go for it
@vestal matrix not tryna advertise. But as a beginner and even now, weskalber on YouTube has very informative job guides
ok and yea that's right, on my way I wanted to be black mage which I think is lvl 30
^
I might have gone the more Zzzz leveling route as a Conjurer or do they speed up in combat (pve) further down the road?
Wesk ALber is good
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
eh? depends on what you mean by speed
white mage remains the same two-button for single-target, one button for aoe, and another button you hit off CD for damage
but it gets a lot more healing tools and the game gets more complex
if you're looking for a faster feeling rotation, i would say not really. a lot of the fun/gameplan from healers is, well, healing
should I be starting other jobs as well? or just focus on black mage
or is that up to me kinda thing
@vestal matrix its fine if you do either
I personally stuck to levelling one, but unlocked everything I came across
if you wanna spend your time trying out other classes, sure go ahead
what would u guys recommend? right now I did some guardian with my buddy because hes going to be paladin so we have tank/dps
no one will ever force you to level multiple jobs, its up to you what you want to level
Sadly there's not much you can try out lower levels
I personally levelled up classes via msq, and if they outscaled the MSQ, I took a break to look into another I wanted so I could do the MSQ with it
I wasn't really in a rush so
But the beauty of ff14, is you can do anything you want, play what you want
Paladin isn't really dps lol. Im a PLD. Tank everything but its slow
I also had the double exp boost from preferred servers. I do not know if the one you're on has that but
right now im doing MSQ, FATEs, duty, and one other I cant remember where you party up with 4 ppl
dungeons?
no not dungeons. maybe its duties actually?
I would focus MSQ and jobs. Thats all you need
honestly theres so much that was thrown at me the last 2 days its hard to remember lol
dungeons are 4-man stuff
Duties is kinda all encompassing and not all 4-man
semantics though
point being, do what feels right. do you have the Road to 70 buff by making your char on a preferred world?
nono, theres one thing Im doing where it allows me to party with 3 ppl for a quick fight for XP
Is there a way to make the camera not reset to behind you when you let go?
oh trials
Guildhests
you fought that ifrit fellow
No no they mean guildhests
yea thats it
They suck for xp
k im out lol
Lol
and ya we started again in a preferred server. we first did normal
yeah
charcter settings -> legacy camera settings
change it from standard to legacy
At most do it for the challenge log and that's it
but we wanna get to the expansions and started again after level 20 rip
it'll change a few other things but i find it's the better camera control scheme in gneeral
guildhests are sort of tutorial like group duties, they do have interesting challenges to do, assuming you read the instructions
What''s the server ip for srpiggan server?
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
North America
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11

how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
You do get a first time completion bonus, which is ok for the level you unlock that guildhest
ty
are extreme trials possible for pugs? or need static groups for that
ya first one gave me nice xp, not so much after
pf yes df not recommended
varyin difficult but PF possible yes
so MSQ and jobs probably best for leveling right now?
very possible at that
ohh ic thank you
yes
it gives you an additional bonus on completion for the first time for that job
for that specific guildhest
the only thing I DONT like so far is that me and my buddy cant do everything together
frivela which world did u make ur char on
so early levels its a nice sizable chunk
otherwise game is sweet
@elder cedar I wanna say not recommended. But my friend has proven me otherwise. Completed quite a few ex in DF
jp server culture is different
if it makes you feel better he can just come back and do stuff with you
yes I did all ex of arr and hw in pugs
jim Im on crystal / marlboro
oh poggers i'm on crystal too
thanks for responses everyone. appreciate it.
wya ill come add you and i can help out some time
sweet. umm I always forget. its the island to the left on the world map
my acc is the same as my dcord
Is legacy movement different?
not super different but it has a lot of quirks i like more
mainly you can move without needing to swing your camera like a monkey
Is it worth the time to do fates solo at low lvl?
Sorry, I meant is legacy movement different from legacy camera
no, they are one and the asme
you will get legacy movement with legacy camera
oh frivela one more thing
where can I learn good combos for my job/class? have a few diff skills now
Actually..anyone on mateus?
Ah, so I switched to that but while running, left click still changes character direction, and was hoping to rotate around more while running
Especially while autorunning
-
WeskALber has very good videos for every class
-
If you don't mind restarting with what you have, you and your friend can make your characters again on a preferred world like Zalera on Crystal. This will give you 2x Exp and 15 days of sub for levelling up. This is a suggestion I am giving since y'all are still early in the game but up to you
endwalker will introduce cross data center play correct? are there any limitations or more details revealed yet
right click instead
i just got used to it
no, and no
it's getting introduced in 5.57 apparently
oh
as they want to test it before EW drops so they don't have an issue
jim we did prefered server
thats earlier then
marlboro is preferred ya
the main difference between standard and legacy is what happens when you hold the s key or backwards in relation to your camera. on legacy you just run towards that direction, in standard it makes you backpedal
Right click also steers character
we actually started on a non-preferred before but luckily saw on google
if you're on legacy, without movement, holding the clicks will not turn your character, but on standard it does
but you're on Malboro?
i wish i started on a preferred server. preferred xp + mephina earring must be cracked
whats a mephina earing?
that earring u get from endwalker pre order
strnage but w/e
- 30% xp gained
80 and below
!item menphina's earring
Increases EXP earned by 30% when level 80 and below. Attributes and item level vary according to class/job and current level when equipped.

Nevermind, solved it @outer mural if I keep it on standard there's an option lower for auto-camera (always, when I run, and never)
might have to preorder just for that

wrong reply
but good to hear you got what u wanted
ty
to be clear... you have the double exp right?
because Malboro is not preferred rn
Is there a Borja guide out there?
it goes away after 3 months, or whenever the world stops being preferred
whichever lasts longer
when did you make your chars? recently or a while back?
like 3 days ago
preferred xp only works if u started there right
how do I check if im getting the bonus?
not if u transferred / made a char before it was preferred
there should be a buff icon somewhere on your screen that looks like a yellow star with an orange backgorund called road to 70
!buff road to 70
fuck lmao
you scared me
whatever, can't really complain if you have it lmfao
cheers
anyway i'll meet you in a sec to add then i'll get off
ok cool
thx all for the info, gna stay in here if thats cool
maybe we can play sometime
yah if we do move into discussion territory though i will have to ask y'all to take it dms or #general-discussion
OH one more thing I always hear about is roulette?
yeah, it's a daily queue for stuff
you have one for boss fights, dungeons, etc
they give differing currencies and scaling exp rewards
roulettes are just a daily thing you cna do to get bonuses like exp, gil, company seals, tomestones
how do I see what I have avail?
puts you in a random dungeon/instance in the pool for the roulette
you have to unlock more than 1 duty in that roulette to see the roulette
the first ones you can unlock are Guildhest roulette and Leveling roulette





nah will end it here, gotcha tho
