[fallen juniper]

well, i'll check out Wesk see if i like the play style between the 3 recommended

[remote lintel]

if youre trying to look for a simple class then you should just look up what theyre like at 80

[outer mural]

mhm

MCH is definitely just the most simple DPS class at 80

[heavy wadi]

that’s just wrong

[outer mural]

hm?

[remote lintel]

its one of the most simple classes yes

[heavy wadi]

dnc is the simplest, mch requires a lot of clipping and good ping

[outer mural]

clipping...?

[rotund orbit]

are you not able to get a mount on the free trial? or am i missing something?

[open ember]

All classes are simple once you learn them lol

[outer mural]

also good ping =/= related to skill floor

[bronze drift]

I dont think I understand samurai rotation. I looked at the opener + rotation sheet but I still dont get the order I use it in when I see some skills boxed up in blue and red lines on the sheet 😦

[outer mural]

you can, continue mSQ

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[remote lintel]

what dont you get

[outer mural]

i do not understand what you mean by clipping, Enjoyer

[remote lintel]

the phases are labeled

[rotund orbit]

thank you very much!

i was starting to get worried XD

[remote lintel]

@outer mural clipping is delaying gcd

which can happen if you dont weave correctly or have too high ping on mch

[outer mural]

that's not related to how simple it is though

it's terrible with ping for sure though, cannot disagree

[bronze drift]

............ im very new still, I just dont get what the blue lines and red lines in the spreadsheet are boxing some of the skills for in the openers section. and the mini skills on top of the main ones. so im not sure how to set it up in my hotbar @remote lintel I wanna make it as less complicated as possible in my hotbar

[remote lintel]

you have to learn to weave the ogcds fast and correctly to do the burst window

[fallen juniper]

just to be clear what is considered terrible ping in this game 150 +?

[remote lintel]

@bronze drift it's the duration of buffs

[twilit arch]

150 is not amazing ping

[remote lintel]

the skills on top are ogcds

[twilit arch]

but still playable

[modest igloo]

200+ is pretty bad

[bronze drift]

oh okays

[twilit arch]

like 200+ is where it really starts getting painful

[fallen juniper]

i ususally average about 80 but just looking for reference window

[outer mural]

just focus on the skills instead of whatever those lines mean
if you 're learning the rotation then that's the least of ur worries for rn, Gami

[remote lintel]

the skills on top are the ogcds you weave between gcds

[heavy wadi]

^

[bronze drift]

oh okay, its just I seriously dont know how to lay them out in my hotbar

[heavy wadi]

the red box indicates doing that within a pot window, and the other one is that ability that lets you finish all the combos that i’m blanking on

[outer mural]

well

[remote lintel]

i suggest putting all your skills up to 80 on your hotbars so you can get muscle memory

[outer mural]

i would defininitely recommend different buttons

1 to 0 on ur keyboard is not what i would really do

[remote lintel]

and put your 123 combos on 123 instead of those ogcds you have

[heavy wadi]

don’t exclude any skills from your hot bar

[outer mural]

i usel etter keys like F, G, etc

[daring grotto]

hi guys I just purchased ff14 complete edition on psn as long I dont enter the time card wont active right ?

[bronze drift]

what would be considered combos

[outer mural]

literal combo actions

[remote lintel]

the combos that you have?

[outer mural]

such as your kasha, gekko and yukikaze buttons

[twilit arch]

these are my hotbars (they're not amazing by any means)

[remote lintel]

hakaze > jinpu > gekko is a 123 combo

[twilit arch]

but 1-6 are the main combos

[outer mural]

i also just noticed you are literally missing hakaze on ur hotbar

[bronze drift]

oh I thought those were stances XD

[outer mural]

nope

read the tooltips

[remote lintel]

read your tooltips

samurai has 3 combos

[heavy wadi]

read your tool tips

[remote lintel]

and youre missing like half your skills on your hotbars

[modest igloo]

i wonder if this channel would be used if people read stuff

[outer mural]

well, they had valid questions regardless

[bronze drift]

T_T Im sorry that I am stupid and inexperienced :I

[modest igloo]

welp, that's why we are here

[outer mural]

hold on

[modest igloo]

theres also Weskabler on youtube for 1-80 guides

[feral furnace]

Which scape is fastest for green books for relic?

[modest igloo]

o1 and o3

[outer mural]

which one is the green books

[modest igloo]

i think the second ones

[outer mural]

it's one of the two paragon gave
o1 is for the skirmish materials from zadnor
o3 is for the CE materials from zadnor

[feral furnace]

Thank you

O3 is the one I'm looking for

Wait... when you say o3, you mean delta 3, right?

[modest igloo]

yep

just easier to keep track of

[feral furnace]

Thank you.

[leaden ginkgo]

How much of a difference does aetherpool make in PoTD?

[modest igloo]

for level grinding, it helps

for getting to floor 200 its very important

[leaden ginkgo]

Depends, do you wanna be able to solo monsters and not die to poor crit RNG?

[primal urchin]

hello i did all the msq until i needed to level up to lvl 49 i am 47 what should i do ? (i'm on free trial)

[arctic parrot]

i have a rogue retainer level 70 how do i make it to ninja?

[remote lintel]

@primal urchin do the roulettes once and then unlock aurum vale and spam it

[primal urchin]

ok ty

[subtle apex]

Hello everyone. Just jumped into the FF14 world. Another wow transfer. Lol. I was naturally attracted to arcanist since I come from being a warlock in wow. How is summoner at late game. I hear it can be a little complicated

[remote lintel]

it has the longest rotation but all classes are fine at endgame

if you want to play it then play it

[manic rune]

it’s not that complicated if you’ve been learning the class right as you play

[dusk yoke]

is there any mechanic that incentives players to challenge older raiding/trails content? i missed out on all the stormblood raids/trials and pretty much everything in shadowbringers

[manic rune]

old stormblood/heavensward savage raids have mount rewards

[remote lintel]

shadowbringers content isnt really old

if youre talking about savage then yeah people dont really do e1-8s

[outer mural]

people still do it for glam or mounts

e4s / e8s are the most popular because they drop monts

[dusk yoke]

okay ty, i just wanted to experience the fights and only resubbed recently

[remote lintel]

anything older than shb people do unsynced

[midnight tinsel]

@subtle apex well since you came from wow youll also understand that practice makes perfect
also while levleing you can follow this it explains openers and the skills levle by level
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzBuQcfUdzU&t=1356s

one cool thing about summoenr is that you get scholar levels for free

so you have your own secodn healer you dont need to level

[manic rune]

you’ll likely struggle to find people in party finder who want to do those raids level synced, but there are discord communities who run older content on-level as challenges

[warped furnace]

The Garo PvP mounts are unattainable now right?

[twilit arch]

yes

[warped furnace]

Where do I go to get the title? I didn’t see the NPC in the Wolves Den

It says I need to win X matches wearing the Garo title

[twilit arch]

you can't get anything GARO related anymore

[warped furnace]

Ah, dang. Those mounts look sick! Oh well.

[remote lintel]

the garo gear is required to gain a title

[warped furnace]

And I assume Garo gear is no longer available as well?

[remote lintel]

no

[twilit arch]

everything garo related is gone

[topaz kettle]

best way to find a guild? or they might be called free company in this game?

[thick ocean]

can armorers make bronze ingots but not copper ones?

[remote lintel]

@topaz kettle recruitment channel or community finder on the lodestone

[feral furnace]

Am I correct in assuming e3 is the fastest raid for memory of dying?

[outer mural]

e3 yes, especially if you have agroup that can just dumpster it and skip maelstorm

[heavy wadi]

E3 is pretty quick, generally had 2-4 min runs.

[wild sun]

Completely reinstalling the game hasn't fixed my issue...anyone know how long SE email support usually takes?

[spark jacinth]

My PS4 account has up to HW, I played several years ago. If I buy shadowbringers, will I get 30 days free sub?

[modest igloo]

nope

[spark jacinth]

Ok

[twilit arch]

expansions don't give game time

[stuck saffron]

Hey! I'm not sure where to find info on this, so I thought I'd ask here. To play characters like Dark Knight you need to have reached level 50. Is that 'unlock' global, as in I will be able to start a character directly as Dark Knight, or do I have to unlock it separately for each?

[midnight tinsel]

no

[outer mural]

separately for each

[heavy wadi]

it’s separate for each character

[midnight tinsel]

dark knight needs entering heavensward

[faint flare]

Everything is character locked

[midnight tinsel]

which si different

[outer mural]

it's story related, which is character-locked

[midnight tinsel]

from the stomblood and shadowbrigner jobs

[heavy wadi]

there’s no reason to have multiple characters, regardless, since you can play every class on one

[manic rune]

you don’t need to have alt characters for completionist playstyles

[outer mural]

that too

[midnight tinsel]

well there is 1 reason for multiple characters and thats to play the city speciifc msq

[outer mural]

right right but that's not pertinent to jobs

[midnight tinsel]

until msq 15

[outer mural]

anyway, why do you ask semi

[stuck saffron]

Gotcha! Thanks. Takes some time to get used to how FFXIV handles things like that.

[pallid bluff]

why did they add the difference between classes and jobs?

[modest igloo]

old cross-class stuff

[stuck saffron]

I started a character and ventured to lvl 28, but I'm not happy with the world I selected, so I wanted to start somewhere else, and was wondering if it would be worth to lvl to 50 on the character I already have to unlock Dark Knight

[pallid bluff]

examples?

[remote lintel]

in 1.0 you needed 2 classes to unlock a job

[pallid bluff]

damn

[outer mural]

you used to get skills for pally from levelling conjurer

[midnight tinsel]

@stuck saffron whats the problem with the wolrd ?

[heavy wadi]

pay for a world transfer?

[midnight tinsel]

no preferred server ?

[outer mural]

they're level 28, they can restart and speedrun to save themselves the money

anyway yeah what is wrong with the world for you?

[faint flare]

Not like world choices even matter outside of preferred bonus

[midnight tinsel]

bad ping ?

[outer mural]

ping doesn't matter between worlds since they're all on the same data cneter

[modest igloo]

let him answer

[stuck saffron]

It's the server with like the least amount of english speakers, which I found out yesterday. It was definitely noticeable, and I'd prefer to plant myself on a server where I can connect more with what people are saying

[remote lintel]

start over with a new character not on shiva or moogle

[faint flare]

Or world visit off shiva

[midnight tinsel]

usually germans are fine speaking english

[stuck saffron]

Hahah, I guess it's no secret which world I was talking about

[midnight tinsel]

join me on zodiark = D

[modest igloo]

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)
  ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

[modest igloo]

it's listed in a FAQ

[stuck saffron]

Ah! I had the feeling something like that existed. Sorry if this question gets brought up a lot. Thank you!

[modest igloo]

all good, its why we have an FAQ

these are good questions to ask

[open coral]

Just because a question is common doesn’t make it bad

[fiery urchin]

my friend is getting this message and is unable to queue for 50/60/70

[remote lintel]

do they meet the ilvl requirements

[fiery urchin]

ya he's on full lvl 50 tomestone gear

[remote lintel]

do they have lvl 50 dungeons unlocked besides the msq ones

[fiery urchin]

that's his PoV, if he were missing dungeons wouldn't it show them in red

in the 2nd page of the duty finder?

[faint flare]

No, they wouldn't be in the duty finder

Also he's not in full tome gear

[twilit arch]

50-70 roulette doesn't show what you're missing

[faint flare]

If he's ilvl is 79

[twilit arch]

because you don't need all dungeons unlocked to complete it

it would be easier if he showed the dungeon list

[fiery urchin]

oh okay

let me ask him for that screenshot

ty kaelwryn!

[exotic flume]

Guys, how do i recover Gathering points beyond waiting for around 5 seconds per point?

[faint flare]

Use cordials

[exotic flume]

Nice, ty

So, i need either gemstones, seals or weirdo collection stuff for them?

[outer mural]

i buy them with seals

[twilit arch]

the 300 version can be crafted (350 if HQ)

[left cedar]

Is there a way to make it so that when I click R1, it goes to my next hotbar instead of to the pet hotbar?

[twilit arch]

but for the 400 version you need yellow scrips, tho they are also potential rewards from leve quests

[faint flare]

Turn off the pet hotbar in character configuration > hotbar > cross

[polar latch]

hey hey hey, how are you all doing? i am atm in idyllshire as free trial and wonder how do you decide what specific materia stat to give to a gear?

[elder root]

do stats from materia get scaled down too?

[faint flare]

Turned off completely

Wheb you're synced down

[elder root]

wa

jeez

[faint flare]

Which is why materia is unless until endgame

[exotic flume]

Dang, as an alchemist you need a lot of mats to make it cordials, wow.

[modest igloo]

since a lot of gear gets synched down, most people dont even put materia in their until endgame

[south kestrel]

I started the 2nd fisher quest named Bigger Fish to Fry and I am supposed to catch herring. To do so, I should get new bait but sadly I forgot where I should get this and cant find the name of the person I should be going to now. Anyone that might know here?

[stable grail]

what was hullbreaker isle?

[candid crypt]

Hey there, i was wondering if its possible to change race in game?

[exotic flume]

And level 50, i'm needed these things at level 35... T_T

[faint flare]

With fantiasas. You get 1 via story

Rest is paid

[candid crypt]

How much would that be in cash?

[heavy wadi]

10 usd per

[faint flare]

$10

[candid crypt]

fair enough, thanks folks

[modest igloo]

i think it was like a pirate cove or somethin?

[left cedar]

@faint flare Do I not need the pet hotbar?

[faint flare]

No

Cause you can put those buttons on your own hotbar

Ie sic and place and heel

[polar latch]

but for free trial the best gear is the one you can get from idyllshire (itemlevel 270) so best mat is V but cant decide which mat to get for each gear (as a MCH)

[elder root]

is there anyway to remove signatures on belts?

[exotic flume]

Cordials are at a fair enough price on the market o.o

[modest igloo]

go for crit then

[polar latch]

all slots crit?

[modest igloo]

its not really worth the cost but if you wanna thats the stat to focus on

as much as you can

[left cedar]

Ahh okay, thank you!

[thick ocean]

if i'm a miner and i've made it to level 55, but am decidedly behind on the world quests as i wait for my partner to catch up, so i can't get out further than central highlands into western highlands but can reach everything before that, what's the best sort of stuff to farm for money while i wait?

[little swift]

Some of the materials like mythrite ore are still used in higher level items

[cunning loom]

you could maybe search up what's required for job quests

and stockpile those

[little swift]

Do a bit of research on whats used

For example

!recipe Dwarven mythril ingot

[little swift]

Uses mythrite ore

[thick ocean]

i'm poking my way through that and trying to compare it to what i can reach. mythrite appears reachable

[elder root]

anyone know how to remove signatures on crafted items?

[little swift]

You can't you weren't meant to

But if the item is glamoured onto something else the glam won't have the signature in the description

[thick ocean]

ooh, actually, i can only reach hidden mythrite ore drops which appear to be rares in standard locations

at certain times or something

i wonder

[little swift]

No its just a hidden node item

Theres no time involved

Just rng whether it appears

[thick ocean]

looks like western highlands. i believe that's gated off to me right now. but it's an excellent future prospect

[vivid bane]

What would be your guys recommended tank job for someone wanting to start tanking? I've only played healers up until this point and I want to try something new.

[remote lintel]

any

[little swift]

Any of the tanks are fine

Depending on how far you're into the game it'll affect which are accessible though

[boreal storm]

Western highlands is a HW area so you need to reach 3.0

For darksteel ore

Lots of older stuff is still used

[outer mural]

any, WAR is easily the most simple though

[thick ocean]

i get that one! it's at 1am right

[outer mural]

if that plays any factor inyo your decision

[remote lintel]

[modest igloo]

If I remember correctly gunbreaker is in shadowbringers right?

[outer mural]

it can be unlocked outside of shadowbringers

[prime thunder]

This is a super dumb question but I just finished the praetorium quest and the credits rolled by after the cutscenes does that mean I'm now in Heavensward content?

[outer mural]

you just need the expansion

[little swift]

Yes own the game and any other job at 60

[outer mural]

post-arr

[little swift]

@prime thunder not there yet

[outer mural]

transition area between ARR and HW

[boreal storm]

No you’re doing the patch quests now

[modest igloo]

you have 80 more MSQ quests until HW

[outer mural]

after that you will be in HW, and you will know when you're in HW

[little swift]

If you don't see in giant block letters HEAVENSWARD you're not there

[outer mural]

it's looong though

[modest igloo]

oh and add the CT raids and hard primal fights

[prime thunder]

Lol 80 more that seems more than I would have expected

[modest igloo]

think its 106 quests long in total?

[prime thunder]

Good to know tho!

[outer mural]

it's the longest part of the game

[modest igloo]

it was mainly to keep players invested until HW came out

[outer mural]

in terms of game segments at least

mhm

[prime thunder]

Got it okay well I'm going strong thru it then

Trying to finish by endwalker which I'm feeling good about

[modest igloo]

oh yeah you'll get there

took me 2 months and i even skipped some of ARR

[outer mural]

for sure

[modest igloo]

plenty of time!

[outer mural]

pace urself, u got 5 months

post-arr is also fun imo

I am kind a new player I liked heavensword but I find stormblood a bit boring I hope it gets better

[umbral hollow]

yes

[modest igloo]

ruby sea is pretty slow

[outer mural]

not to say much but it does get a good bit better later on

keep it going

[modest igloo]

takes about 6 runs for 1 level?

[gusty storm]

so if they're 71 i cant do

that is not worth

[outer mural]

yeah they're pretty much just used to level up an alt at 71 and go on from there

[modest igloo]

most people dont do trusts anyways since BSF is faster

[outer mural]

trusts are not faster than regular dungeons regardless

and yeah bozja will be faster for exp

[gusty storm]

also how do people farm for earth crystals

or just crystals in general

[modest igloo]

crafting job quests give a ton

[faint flare]

Aetherical reduction for crystals and clusters

[outer mural]

^
levinstrike aethersand gives a shitton

[faint flare]

Get tons

[outer mural]

though because of that it is also incredibly cheap on the marketboard

so it is actually rather lucrative to just buy em

[gusty storm]

hm ok

does aetherical reduction not give the small type

[faint flare]

No

[outer mural]

shards? nay

[twilit arch]

shards can be grown though

either in a garden plot or flower pot (though the garden plot is going to yield more naturally)

[gray adder]

i have alot of useless gear everywhere including old blue job gears from arr up until stormblood that can’t be sold , should I discard everything? Or they have another uses ?

[spice cave]

What's the difference between Edge and Flood of Darkness? Just that it's one for single target one for multiple?

[outer mural]

sell em if yo don't think they look good

yes sencaster

[modest igloo]

yep

[faint flare]

Yes

Ones aoe

One single

[spice cave]

Sick

[outer mural]

flood is better on 2 targets

otherwise use edge

[jovial quarry]

Some can be deposited into the armoire at your inn room for safe keeping. The rest can probably be safely discarded/exchanged at your GC if your rank is high enough.

[outer mural]

you can just buy them back rather easily

[torpid sentinel]

Well I still can't play Triple Triad rip me

[jovial quarry]

You can also use your glamour dresser as a form of storage for gear if you want to hang on to them for later.

[opaque heart]

where do I learn mining as marauder?

[modest igloo]

lvl 15 msq

[faint flare]

Uldah

[daring wind]

Hi, just a small question! I was doing a trial with some other players right now, and I play as tank. When the trial began, the other tank told me "don't provoke boss from me", does that mean the tank wanted to do the main tank job and that I should not raise aggro from the boss? Sorry, English is not my first language. It just confused me because I didn't do tank stance, believing the other tank would, but they didn't at first and a dps got killed until I switched to tank stance. Shortly after, the other tank did too and did main tank for the rest of the trial. I was rather uncertain because I had done that trial for the first time, but according to that message, was it right of me to be off tank or did that mean the other tank wanted me to be main tank?

[ionic linden]

in shadowbringers, u can get aether currents for specific map from lvl 70, but the last aether is like for lvl 77-79, theres reason?

[modest igloo]

you're fine, that tank was bad

[remote lintel]

sounds like they forgot to use tank stance and blamed you for it

[modest igloo]

msq

[ionic linden]

its worth to farm them at lvl 70 and then get the last one on lvl 77, or just keep lvling till lvl 77 and get all of them?

[daring wind]

Okay, that's good to hear! I'm still pretty new, just in the middle of heavensward so I'm happy i wasn't to blame! Thank you!

[remote lintel]

also "provoke" is a skill in the game

msq always gives 1 at the end of the area so wait until then

[remote lintel]

it puts you at the top of the aggro

[ionic linden]

ty

[daring wind]

Oh okay! I play in german, so it got a different name

[upper mortar]

If i pre order endwalker for pc, does it give me acess to shadow bringers? Mained ps4 version, but i want to get shb on pc and hoping preordering works for that

[daring wind]

Thank you all for clearing it up for me!!

[modest igloo]

not until november

[opaque heart]

can I switch at lv20 marauder to lancer?

[modest igloo]

yes, once you beat your lvl 10 class quest and get into gridania

[remote lintel]

if you did your lvl 10 class quest and got to gridania yes

[opaque heart]

is it easier to quest with lancer?

or at this point it doesnt matter?

[faint flare]

It's the same for all jobs

[remote lintel]

its neither easier nor harder

[opaque heart]

lancer is dps so he should do more damage thus faster mob killing

or am I wrong?

[boreal storm]

Ques will be worse

[remote lintel]

slightly faster

[boreal storm]

Because dps

[faint flare]

Not much more

Like you'll kill a few gcds faster

[remote lintel]

youll still have 15-20 min queues for duties

[modest igloo]

the time you would gain in solo instances would be lost in queue times

[faint flare]

Like maybe 2 gcds faster

[modest igloo]

and all solo insatnces are meant for all classes

[ripe hound]

Tanks have more health, so surviving random stuff is easier

[opaque heart]

when can I do a dungeon?

[ripe hound]

DPS do more damage, do solo instance are faster

[remote lintel]

when you unlock the first one at lvl 15

[faint flare]

Lv15 in the story

[ripe hound]

Tank will make you get into dungeons much faster

[opaque heart]

and when do I get a mount?

to walk faster

[modest igloo]

msq level 20

[faint flare]

Lv20 in the story

[ripe hound]

Rarely, as a healer, doing some solo instance can feel boring because you do so little damage

[opaque heart]

uhh my msq is 13 and im 20lv marauder

[ripe hound]

I’m thinking of ||Cidception for unlocking bozja||

[modest igloo]

yes, your MSQ is lvl 13. your character level means nothing

[ripe hound]

No worry, just keep doing MSQ

[vapid spoke]

Does FFXIV release patch notes before the patch drops? im quite new to FFXIV so im not sure how they handles patches and expansions

[gusty storm]

if i dont have a house then how else can i get some

[modest igloo]

yep

[ripe hound]

I would actually recommend doing MSQ as Marauder

It will give much faster dungeon and trail queue times

And as a Tank you get to feel like the main character

[opaque heart]

when I get like 50msq and start a new class, wont mobs be too hard for me?

[ripe hound]

Also it’s somewhat canonically to be a Warrior

[modest igloo]

you will have to re-level the class back up

[jovial quarry]

For larger patches they drop preliminary notes the weekend before and finalized patch notes after maintenance begins. For smaller hotfixes, they usually don't have patch notes but will have a post on the community site telling what has been changed.

[ripe hound]

Yeah, you are gonna need to level the new class with stuff

[opaque heart]

but there will be no quests

anymore

[outer mural]

you do dungeons nad stuff

[ripe hound]

Quests other than MSQ don’t give a lot of exp

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[opaque heart]

hmm

[modest igloo]

job leveling takes you back to old dungeons to level

[ripe hound]

Alt leveling is mostly though daily roulette, Dungeons, POTD, HOH,Bozja, etc.

[modest igloo]

it also helps vets play old dungeons for new players

hence how they keep 8 years of content active

[ripe hound]

Yeah, if you want more combat while doing the story, feel free to level another job together

[summer kayak]

Hey, someone can help me? I’m new to FF franchise and I don’t know where to start with lore, every guide has expired links and non existing video links so I’m here to ask, can someone tell me what videos to watch/what to read to know something about a world and what happens before my character. I want to learn something before my game will download

[ripe hound]

Uh... tbh the story starts slow so you can kinda just start

[modest igloo]

each FF game is separate, and you don't really need to know what happened before you start

that beign said

[ripe hound]

Each FF main title is it’s own world

[modest igloo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs0yQKI7Yw4

this explains why the base game is 2.0 and not 1.0

[jovial quarry]

The pins in the #archived-lore-spoilers channel have a lot about FFXIV's story. But yeah you are not required to have played any other game in the series to understand as each game is its own story in its own world.

[ripe hound]

Yeah, One Point O is a thing

[outer mural]

https://landofodd.net/ffxiv-arr-story-summary/

[ripe hound]

Since ARR is a sequel...

[outer mural]

read ONLY the 1.0 section to get some minor context

that is what i used personally

that is all you need, every other FF isn't related and any references can be treated as an original thing from FFXIV

[summer kayak]

Oh okay, so I will watch that video and read that 1.0 section. Thanks

[torpid sentinel]

Tbh the game does a good job at explaining everything already

[outer mural]

pretty much

[summer kayak]

I thought that I need to know 13teen games lol

[modest igloo]

i mean its something to do while it downloads

[outer mural]

it is just a bit confusing when you get the bahamut cutscene and get no contex for that

[quaint brook]

Any other FF under ur belt will only let u recognize the references

[ripe hound]

Nah you don’t

[torpid sentinel]

God no. Every FF is seperate

[outer mural]

yeah FF never has any interconnected stories with each mainline game

[torpid sentinel]

You can start whatever one you'd like

[outer mural]

1 to 15 are all self-contained

[modest igloo]

thank god, but there are quite a bit of references if you have played those older games

[thick ocean]

all that really happens is that if you play a final fantasy game you'll look at any other final fantasy game and say "oh i've seen some of these things before"

[boreal storm]

The only connected FFs are the ones with the same number/title

[thick ocean]

like chocobos or moogles or consumable names or classes etc

[ripe hound]

Yeah, like 13-2, Lightning return

[outer mural]

mhm

[ripe hound]

Or FF14 1.0, ARR

(Crys in no 1.0)

[urban temple]

Does Astral fire phase impact Foul's damage for BLM?

[torpid sentinel]

No

[urban temple]

or I deal the same damage in Ice

[torpid sentinel]

Foul is completely separate

[urban temple]

okay thanks

[outer mural]

no, it only affects fire spells
foul is unaspected

[ripe hound]

I really wish there are some in game lore to explain what happened in 1.0

Is Flare fire?

[jovial quarry]

Ice and fire stances affect only ice and fire spells.

[outer mural]

flare is fire

[torpid sentinel]

Flare is fire

[ripe hound]

kk

Foul is the single target Flare, but not Fire right?

[outer mural]

no, that is despair

foul is aoe xenoglossy

[ripe hound]

Oh

[urban temple]

both AOE

[ripe hound]

kk

[torpid sentinel]

Despair is single target flare is aoe

[ripe hound]

Is Despair Fire?

[outer mural]

yeah don't get me wrong, i got it ocnfused too
thought foul was fire because it's red

[torpid sentinel]

Yes

[outer mural]

yes

[summer kayak]

So it’s good time to start playing? I came from WoW

[outer mural]

yes r4k3

[torpid sentinel]

Exactly same as Flare but for one enemy

[modest igloo]

now is perfect

[ripe hound]

kk, so use Despair when at fire III mode?

Kk

[outer mural]

the game is on sale rn too

[torpid sentinel]

Yes it's perfect

[modest igloo]

plenty of time to catch up

[boreal storm]

Got a good 5 months until the next story update

[outer mural]

yes
you use it at the end of your fire rotation when you're nearly out of mana and can't use another fire iv

[modest igloo]

Shadowbringers was awesome 10/10 game

[torpid sentinel]

You can use despair when your mp is full you'll have a little chunk of mp left or when you're almost out

[ripe hound]

Also if you like the game consider buying soon because sale is almost over

[faint flare]

Despair uses all your mp

[ripe hound]

kk

[summer kayak]

When is the sale over?

[jovial quarry]

Today iirc

[outer mural]

yeah its damage doesn't change regardless of how much mana u have left so you should try to minimize how much mana u waste

[torpid sentinel]

At a certain level despair and flare only uses 1/3rd of your mp if maxed

[faint flare]

Not.despaie

[outer mural]

just flare

not despair

[ripe hound]

I see

[outer mural]

that trait only exists to make blm aoe what it is

which is flare spam

[torpid sentinel]

Oh shit mb I am always forgetting that one

Whoops

[outer mural]

np

[ripe hound]

BLM AOE is not low right?

I mean damage is not low right?

[outer mural]

wdym?

the damage of it is not low

it's actually praised as being highly powerful

[torpid sentinel]

Most blm moves are pretty big

[faint flare]

It's one of the Kings of aoe

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I just feel like BLM’s AOE damage gets nerfed and nerfed...

[urban temple]

cough summoners

[outer mural]

the only bad thing about BLM aoe is that it's highly inconsistent until it's ballpark of 70+

[torpid sentinel]

It's still very good

[ripe hound]

Maybe it’s just because my brain is still in ARR days where Flare don’t have damage fall off

[faint flare]

Summoners aoe is only goos during demis

And phoenix primarily

Damage is somewhat lacking outside

[torpid sentinel]

I remember freeze spamming

Good times

[ripe hound]

Cry

[urban temple]

Is it okay for me to start practicing rotations seriously at lev 70 as BLM? Or will the new skills at higher lvl change the rotations

[torpid sentinel]

Level 70 is probably the best time to practice it imo

[faint flare]

Your rotation doesn't change after 70

Only adding despair at the end of fire

[urban temple]

Oh nice, good to hear

[outer mural]

your base rotation doesn't change, you get a few different tools

but it's mostly the asme if you're jsut trying to hit a dummy

[urban temple]

Is it wise to invest in a good armour

[faint flare]

Always

[urban temple]

Im running a lev 60 set

[torpid sentinel]

Yes

[outer mural]

yes

[modest igloo]

get ilvl 400 asap

[cunning loom]

just generic scaevan is fine

[urban temple]

any reccomendations

[faint flare]

Scaevan

[outer mural]

augmented scaevan which is bought for tomestones

[cunning loom]

finish stormblood, get scaevan

[torpid sentinel]

Tomestone gear is always good to fall back on

[faint flare]

The 70 version of shire

[outer mural]

unlocks after you beat stormblood

[urban temple]

ok, thanks guys

[outer mural]

else you should be getting gear from the MSQ if u were doing it on BLM

which is fine until u can get ur hands on scaevan

[gusty storm]

if you dont have a house to grow shards how else do you farm them?

[outer mural]

manually

[primal ermine]

Did reprisal always effect multiple mobs?

[faint flare]

Not always

Used to be single target only

[primal ermine]

Ah yeah thought I was going crazy, is it a recent then?

[faint flare]

No

Was like 5.1 or earlier

[gusty storm]

that sucks

[stray mason]

Is tanking harder than DPS? Thinking about picking either Dark Knight or Samurai

[faint flare]

No

[heavy wadi]

it's subjective

dps though, is debatably harder because you have more complex rotations and have more mechanics to do

[torpid sentinel]

Not really

Tanks don't have to do as much as dps

[faint flare]

They do???

The fuck you on

Everyone's job is to do damage

Faster shit dies, less damage tanks take

Less mechanics people see

[outer mural]

tanks have simpler rotations in exchange for having to manage aggro and differen mechanis depending on the fight

it is not that much harder

[faint flare]

Damage is THE BEST mitigation

[outer mural]

also tanks have to do DPS yes

everyone does

[torpid sentinel]

I never said that??

The fuck man

[outer mural]

did you mean "tanks don't do as much"

[torpid sentinel]

I said they're easier

[outer mural]

or "don't have to do as much"

[faint flare]

.

[outer mural]

those mean different things

[heavy wadi]

misunderstood what they said

[opaque heart]

whats the difference between dark knight and marauder?

[faint flare]

Playstyle

[torpid sentinel]

Tanks don't do as much

[outer mural]

different classes
DRK is a solid well-rounded tank that focuses on magic mitigation
Marauder/Warrior is a self-recovery tank with a simple rotation

pick whatever looks cool to you first, figure out playstyle after you know more about the game

else you'll be thinking about it all day

[hasty sand]

I'd recommend DRK.

It's very aestheticly pleasing.

And Frey is a very cool character

I think the writers of his character went on to write ShB Iirc

[faint flare]

Yes the drk story writer wrote shadowbringers and writing endwalker

[gusty storm]

go warrior

trust

[hasty sand]

No spoiling, but Im in agreement that the writing in Shb, and by extension, Frey is very high quality stuff

[opaque heart]

is there no ingame guild finder?

[faint flare]

No

[hasty sand]

People just have to inv. You

[outer mural]

i found mine by just hanging around in city states where people advertised

[hasty sand]

^

It's pretty common to find people advertising in Limsa, Ul'dah, and Gridania

There's also the possibility of just asking in said states and people will invite.

[boreal storm]

Not being in an FC is like a beacon, people will find you

[vapid spoke]

is there a site where i can check what EX/Savage bosses drops?

[torpid sentinel]

The wiki

[obsidian timber]

My hotbar

Is.glitched and I can't replace skills

[torpid sentinel]

Did you click the lock button on accident?

[boreal storm]

Is it locked?

[faint flare]

Did you press the lock button next to hotbar 1

[vivid bane]

what is your guy's opinions on summoner?

[hasty sand]

Hard.

To use effectively

[faint flare]

Good job, jank as all hell

[torpid sentinel]

shrugs prob my least fav magic dps

[outer mural]

it's jank and unintuitive

but it is a good job if you put your time into it

i do not like it but it is a powerful job that can be satisfying to people who vibe with it

[vivid bane]

jank you say

[faint flare]

Pets are completely ass

You can ghost abilities

[hasty sand]

I'm a little. Embarrassed to ask. Seeing as my RDM is at level 78.

But what's the "best" rotation for RDM

[faint flare]

!faq 50rdm

[zinc orbit]

'I just unlocked this' 5.x guide

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/2FTx31t.jpg

[faint flare]

Your basics from this hasn't changed

[hasty sand]

Arigato friend

[vapid spoke]

can you glam gear that are a higher Lv than your currently equipped gear?

[outer mural]

there is no best rotation, you just spend your procs to do your combo

[faint flare]

No

[hasty sand]

I see

[obsidian timber]

@torpid sentinel yes I think I did ty

[outer mural]

while trying to best to manage procs to not overcap and not to waste any

you will eventually run into situations where you're at near max and have two procs and need to dump em

and other weird situations

but there is no best rotation due to the RNG nature of red mage procs, you do the best you can while trying to manage your resources in the most efficient way

i'd check out THe Balance discord and the Red Mage resource channel. It has all the red mage oepenrs, and a lot of information on how to properly and efficiently use all ur procs

[hasty sand]

I've been.

Embolden -> Jolt -> B/W Magic -> Contra Six -> Jolt -> B/W Magic -> repeat Jolt and B/W until both are at 40 mana -> Manfication

Then the 3 hit Melee followed by VerFlare/Verholy

[visual agate]

are succubus horns dyeable?/how can i see if somethin is dyeable or not

[opaque heart]

is there any ingame cash shop?

[faint flare]

Don't embolden first gcd

Giant waste

[hasty sand]

I've always done it In duties when starting a big boss fight. Mostly for my teammates

[boreal storm]

There’s mogstation but nothing ingame

[faint flare]

You embolden either for your melee combo or 5th gcd

[leaden ginkgo]

What mount is this?

[faint flare]

1st gcd is a waste for EVERYONE

[boreal storm]

Kirin

[faint flare]

Kirin, get all arr extreme mounts

[opaque heart]

how to be a bard?

[torpid sentinel]

All 7 horsw mounts from the extreme arr trials

[faint flare]

Archer to 30

[boreal storm]

6, nightmare is a bonus

[hasty sand]

...I'm a clown. I didn't think my Melee Combo counted as Magic

[faint flare]

Enchanted it does

[torpid sentinel]

Whoops lol nightmare tricks me up

[outer mural]

check the openers in The Balance
you typically start off with a hardcast of verthunder or veraero since you don't lose anything for casting it before the right starts

again, the balance has a lot more information

czech it out

[faint flare]

Any raid buffs in the first gcd are a giant waste...which is why Ninjas using trick immediately as their first skill are fucking stupid

[outer mural]

melee combo is counted as magic yeah. it's fine to not tell, people don't know that contre sixte and fleche are physical despite it being said in the tooltip just bc of the particles

err, not said actually. scratch that

[leaden ginkgo]

Can't you unsync these Extreme trials to get the 6 mounts needed to get Kirin?

[quaint brook]

Yes

[crystal bluff]

Yes

[torpid sentinel]

Yes and it's very easy

[boreal storm]

Unsynced Garuda is probably the fastest of them

[stray mason]

Just reached level 50, roughly how much do I have left of ARR before getting into the first expansion?

[hasty sand]

What story quest?

[stray mason]

Rock the Castrum next MSQ

[outer mural]

after beating ARR in Praetorium (like one quest or so after that one), you have like

80? someone said

along with 3 alliance raids in a series to do

it's loooong but it is fun

[hasty sand]

Yeah

It's a bit of a slog, but it's very worth it.

But yeah. Prae is right around the corned

Corner*

[summer kayak]

So i read a bit and it seems Dark knight is my cio of tea, do i have to create a new character after i unlock it or i can Just become one? And if so what class should i choose for better Switchover?

[hasty sand]

Word of advice.

Set aside like an hour of your time. The cutscenes there are unskipable, even on repeat runs.

Its.

Very irritating

[boreal storm]

You can be every job on a single character, if you want a better understanding on Tanks you could try out glad or MRD before hand

[heavy wadi]

you can play every class on one character, so no need to make a new one

[hasty sand]

^

[heavy wadi]

but you have to play the game up until the point you can unlock it

which is a decent ways through the msq

[hasty sand]

Only need is the level requirement

[heavy wadi]

no

drk requires you to get to heavensward in msq

same with ast and mch

[hasty sand]

Like RDM is a stormblood class.

But if you hit Level 50, even if you haven't started SB, you can go grab the class.

That and the area unlocked

[torpid sentinel]

Nope

You just need Stormblood owned and level 50

[boreal storm]

HW jobs are the weirdo of the bunch

[hasty sand]

If you have ShB and all, you can go grab Dancer as soon as you hit level 60.

[boreal storm]

Because of course, ARR jank

[torpid sentinel]

They realized their mistake after HW and fixed it thankfully

[hasty sand]

^

All the classes, As far as I know, besides the out liars are near or in the 3 major city states.

[outer mural]

yep
RDM and SAM are in Ul'dah
Dancer in Limsa
GNB in Gridania

[hasty sand]

RDM and SAM starts in Ul'dah.

Dancer is in--

Beat me to it. Ahaha

[torpid sentinel]

I think I actually finished ARR as a Samurai actually XD

[hasty sand]

Red Mage here

[opaque heart]

how do I apply to a guild

im on the website

[hasty sand]

You get invited

[opaque heart]

but whenever I try to send a private message it fails

[torpid sentinel]

Are they on the same world as you?

[opaque heart]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

This isn't WoW. Your character can be any class you want or all of them.
If its DRK you're looking at, well... hopefully you know how to tank, because umm... hoo boy.

[boreal storm]

You can’t join FCs on free trial if you were wondering

Or send private messages

[opaque heart]

bought the game

[summer kayak]

I tanked a bit in WoW

But i know it’s probably different, I like the style so well, I will learn. @leaden ginkgo, so I don’t need to have alts?

But I need to level the classes from beginning?

[faint flare]

Starts at 30

[summer kayak]

Like if I’m lvl50 I switch I need to level to 50 again?

[boreal storm]

From the job’s beginning level, which is different depending on which expansion it’s from

[summer kayak]

Oh okay, edgelords are starting from 30? So if I hit 30 I can unlock them and just switch without losing much?

[leaden ginkgo]

Good luck getting to Ishgard at 30.

[modest igloo]

you'll still have the lvl 50 at lvl 50

[twilit arch]

no, dark knight starts at 30 but requires you to get to heavensward which is lvl 50 in the main scenario quest

the unlock quest for dark knight also requires lvl 50

[modest igloo]

MSQ locks a LOT of the game

story is king in FFXIV

raiding is super good at endgame tho

300 hours in

[twilit arch]

it would also be great if you actually gave helpful answers.

[summer kayak]

What is ishgard?

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean i'm not wrong.

[twilit arch]

Its also not a helpful response

[leaden ginkgo]

The location the jobs Dark Knight, Astrologian, and Machinist arel ocated, and the startpoint/hub for Heavensward.

[twilit arch]

Ishgard is main city for the first expansion, Heavensward

[open ember]

Ishgard is a Heavensward area. Requires completion of A Realm Reborn

[summer kayak]

Oh okay makes sensie

Sense*

[open ember]

Meaning do main story quests

[summer kayak]

Thanks

[modest igloo]

thankfully for other expac jobs they remove that requirement

[leaden ginkgo]

And if it helps, the three i just listed are the only MSQ-locked jobs.

[stray mason]

so I got to Castrum Meridanum and it says I need ivl 42 but I only have ilvl35 how do I get better gear?

[twilit arch]

do your lvl 50 job quest and open the coffer given to you

[summer kayak]

Thanks, good to know.

[twilit arch]

it'll give you i90 gear which is enough for castrum and praetorium

[stray mason]

oh thanks forgot about the box had already done the quest

[pure zenith]

just in case, but after you bought the game, did you activate the key

[hasty sand]

Yeah. The DLC classes start at the level they would unlock.

I.E RDM and SAM are unlocked at level 50. As such, will start at level 50. (Granted you have the expansion unlocked.)

[buoyant sorrel]

I'm doing e10s and I'm having a hard time finding my position with shadow servant, is there a way to make it easier for me?

[hasty sand]

Also. Where do I apply to become a mentor?

I'd like to help out newer players.

[pure zenith]

for WT what specifically does it want when it say complete ||POTD/HoH like specific floors orrr||

[faint flare]

Any set of 10

[boreal storm]

Just complete a round

[pure zenith]

ah

[obsidian patio]

Talk to the Smiths found at the adventurers guilds in the starting cities.

[hasty sand]

Appreciate it 💖

[obsidian patio]

They’ll show the requirements you need to meet to become a combat or noncombat mentor

Level 80 Role Quests for all 3 types.
1000 duties
1500 commendations

[primal ermine]

Getting crafting mentor is super easy

[opaque heart]

will the game get more challenging later?

[modest igloo]

yes

oh god yes

[opaque heart]

when

[modest igloo]

how hard do you want it?

[opaque heart]

dark souls hard

[modest igloo]

endgame then

ultimate fights are tough as nails

UCOB is 19 mins of no one fucking up, no checkpoint

[opaque heart]

well im used to progress wow mythic raids

[modest igloo]

yeah about that difficulty, maybe even a little harder

Savage raids, esp when new, are a little easier than mythic

but the pacing of the two games are different

FFXIV raiding is shorter but has more going on

[hoary storm]

Do I need a Pyros weapon specifically to buy the armor, I have a Eureka Weapon already and it wont let me speak with the NPC

[faint flare]

You need any pagos relic done and 50 logos actions

[opaque heart]

when will I feel some challenge?

im at 15msq with 23lv

[cunning loom]

not for a while

maybe as a healer/tank going into a dungeon w/ duty finder

[outer mural]

early 50's

[cunning loom]

but true difficulty won't be a thing for most of the game

[outer mural]

still not hard but it's not hee hoo braindead anymore

[cunning loom]

oh if you progged mythic raids then lmao

won't be until savage raids synced

[sonic folio]

Hello, I'm a new player trying the demo. I'm interested in changing my class since I've heard that it was a feature. I went to the city to find the lowest level weapon, but it said I couldn't use it. How do I start leveling up another class?

[obsidian patio]

Go to their class guild and do the blue quest named “So You Want to Be a x”

That will actually unlock the class for you

[sonic folio]

Ah, wonderful. I'll look around for the Dragoon guild

[outer mural]

it's in gridania called the lancer's guild

don't let the name confuse you, dragoon and lancer are one and the same

[crimson crystal]

can I die artifact gear? specifically lv 60 ones

[outer mural]

yes

How to get Dyeable Artifact Gear

A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.

Heavensward i210 set: Dyeable upon opening up the coffer received from completion of your level 60 job quest. Should you have disposed of any particular pieces, they can also be bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Ardolain in the 'Exchange Centurio Seals (Advanced)' option.

Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.

Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.

[crimson crystal]

I mean, how do I dye it if I'm using it as glamour?

[outer mural]

you dye it before using it as a glamour

[sonic folio]

I'm in Limsa Lansa, is that far?

[twilit arch]

you can dye it after you've glamoured it

[crimson crystal]

okay thanks, I'll try that

[outer mural]

you must progress the MSQ

[cunning loom]

i thought you could dye things in your glamour dresser

[twilit arch]

just right click on the gear you've glamoured it to and select dye

[outer mural]

it's a bit deeper

[outer mural]

this is correct

[obsidian patio]

Level 15 in the story is when you can go to Gridania and Ul’dah

[outer mural]

dye it in your dresser and it'll keep that dye until changed

[crimson crystal]

I don't see dye option for it....

[cunning loom]

some items can't be dyed

what item is it

[outer mural]

level 60 artifact gear can be dyed though

as shown in the FAQ above

[cunning loom]

is it specifically augmented

[twilit arch]

Are you certain you're using the augmented version of the lv60 gear?

[cunning loom]

or is it super old

[crimson crystal]

Antiquated Machinist's Shirt

[twilit arch]

That's not the dyeable version

[cunning loom]

uh

[outer mural]

Antiquated is not dye-able oopies

[crimson crystal]

my friend dyed it

[outer mural]

go purcahse the dye-able version in The Forgotten Knight for seals

yes

[twilit arch]

talk to seika in idyllshire to exchange it for the dyeable version

[crimson crystal]

ah okay

[outer mural]

there are two different versions

which is dumb and unintuitive

[twilit arch]

you'll need 100 poetics as well to do so

[outer mural]

oh right, I forgot taht existed. Do what Kael said, much easier

[crimson crystal]

dope, thanks guys. I shall try to find that

[leaden ginkgo]

Do healers have a shorter queue time or do tanks? Is there more demand for one over the other

[heavy wadi]

both tanks and heals have short queue times

[crimson crystal]

as a healer, I have instant queue times for almost everything lol

[heavy wadi]

tanks only really have long queues for alliance raids, because there's only 3 tank slots

[outer mural]

both have lower queue times due to different popularity and amount of classes compared to DPS

healer queues are marginally faster but tank queues are also pretty fast for just about everything besides alliance raids like enjoyer said

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay thanks

I might roll healer

[opaque heart]

is there any way to get to late game faster?

like in wow, buying a character boost or something?

[outer mural]

yes

it's on mogstation, you can buy individual story skips and level skips

[heavy wadi]

Yes, one exists, but it's generally discouraged to do so if you're a beginner

[faint flare]

!faq skips

[zinc orbit]

What does each skip do?

Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.

Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME> Journey This item increases a given job to level 70. It will not skip your story progress to level 70. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 70 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl400 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS

[opaque heart]

why

[outer mural]

go for it if you want to, generally i find it ill-advised since it plunges you into the game without really teaching you anything

[leaden ginkgo]

What levels do my aetherpool need to be to enter PoTD 41-50? I'm at +23 arm/+9 armor atm

[outer mural]

in addition to this game being a story-driven one

[outer mural]

is it your regular armor? never heard of minimum aetherpool reqs

[faint flare]

It's like 13/13

[cunning loom]

ffxiv's story is actually good

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh thats why

[outer mural]

why would it say strength specifically instead of aetherpool if that's the case

oh

[cunning loom]

so skipping it kind of tosses you into the middle of a story without knowing what's happening

[heavy wadi]

Because 1) story is a large part of the content of this game, so if you skip it you'd be missing out on a lot

2. the endgame is pretty different from wow's, lacking mythic dungeons and all that so it's far from being something you can just grind over and over for better loot as there's also a cap on that sort of thing.

[outer mural]

okay so it is aetherpool, my b. weird that it doesn't list aetherpool as the reason tho

[copper vapor]

Jimmy spotted 👀

Anyway dumb question. Is exchanging gil for art allowed (commissions for in-game stuff)?

[heavy wadi]

as far as I know, yes

[copper vapor]

Oo I see. Thanks.

[outer mural]

usage of gil that doesn't involve irl money trading is fair game

[copper vapor]

Nod nod.

[outer mural]

also hi elf

[buoyant sorrel]

Is the relic weapon form bozja the bis right now

[copper vapor]

G’day g’day.

[outer mural]

yes

[heavy wadi]

I've seen streamers do that sort of thing and not get in trouble, that's the extent of my knowledge :p

[outer mural]

it is i535 but has marginally better stats than the savage weapon

[heavy wadi]

The final relic weapons are BiS, yes.

[fierce cobalt]

What's the mechanism kupo bot uses to update market prices?

[heavy wadi]

iirc it's crowdsourced info, so it's not always up to date

[odd radish]

Guys can someone help me, I have my square enix id and its password but once I log in in the square enix webpage instead of moogle station my name changes. I don't know if this is normal or maybe I have two different accounts. Someone help

[outer mural]

your account name changes?

[mental oracle]

How often does weather change?

[odd radish]

@outer mural yes I created my account and in moogle station everything is ok but when I log in square enix it doesnt work

idk

any idea?

[outer mural]

if everything is fine with mogstation, it should work for square enix as they're one and the same?

where are you trying to log in when you say 'square enix'

[twilit arch]

it pulls from universalis which as noted, its a crowdsourced site

requires people to have the ACT plugin to update

[fierce cobalt]

Ah OK, thanks

[odd radish]

@outer mural store.eu.square-enix-games.com

[outer mural]

did you hit this before trying to log in?

[slim mango]

Something weird happened I had like 550 CP with my sest and then suddenly I noticed with the same gear it's like 50 CP under with the same set and buffs

[odd radish]

@outer mural yeah and I clicked in the grey one

[slim mango]

it happened after i got one of my crafting classes to 80

or something

[odd radish]

and I logged in as usual

[heavy wadi]

your gear probably broke

[odd radish]

but then my name is different and in moogle station I have my payment card registered but in here I don't

I just wanna buy the game :C

[slim mango]

I just checked and it's fully repaired - i used self-repair so maybe it has to do with taht?

[obsidian patio]

No. Did you use any food buffs?

[slim mango]

Yeah I used the same ones. Blood Bouleginase

oooh. I think I used another food ni FRONT of it.

so it's using up that food.

woudl that be it

[mental oracle]

How often does weather change?

[obsidian patio]

Yep that would be it

[odd radish]

@outer mural any ideas?

[slim mango]

well I just took off the food buff manually (didn't know u coudl do that) but ugh it's still lower than usual

[obsidian patio]

Every 8 eorzean hours. I think the exact times are midnight, 8am and 6pm

[outer mural]

yeah i figured it out

[mental oracle]

ty

[outer mural]

your account should be correct, it just has a different name because the square enix store account and your mogstation account are different entities but should be linked

[slim mango]

what is the base CP on the character? 200?

[odd radish]

I don't think so because I registered a card to pay the game in moogle station but it isn't registered in square enix

[outer mural]

verify it's connected by going to the Square Enix store

1. click on your name on the top right
2. go to My Account
3. scroll down until you see "linked accounts"
4. go to "manage my linked accounts"

[obsidian patio]

180 or 200, yeah

[odd radish]

ahh because they are different maybe and I have to register it in bouth?

[outer mural]

Verify that your mogstation account is linked to your store account

if it is you can purchase the game safely

[odd radish]

yes it's link

but i guess that I have to register again the card right?

[outer mural]

you can just do it through mogstation still, dunno why this changes anything

you can just buy shadowbringers or EW or whatever and it'd just give you a code anyway

[odd radish]

because of the offerts to buy the game

square enix has 60% off

[outer mural]

i don't understand, do you have a coupon code or whatever? you don't need to use a code or anything for the sale

or do you mean you want to put money into your account with the card?

[odd radish]

nono my credit card

[outer mural]

oh yeah

put it in again

[odd radish]

ok

[outer mural]

they should be separate

[odd radish]

and do I need to buy the collector's edition in order to unlock viera???

[outer mural]

no

[feral nebula]

Since which patch do we get all exp from dungeon mobs at the end of it? :o

[outer mural]

just base shadowbringers

[odd radish]

ok nice ty sm

[outer mural]

we don't, we just get a small marginal lump of exp for finishing

[odd radish]

I was getting so angry and anxious

[outer mural]

the mob exp is still the meat of it from the dungeons

[odd radish]

Seriously thank you so much for your help @outer mural

[outer mural]

np

glad to have helped

[feral nebula]

Ah, a guy just said that since 5.x we get EXP of all mobs at the end of dungeon, when i wanted to pull mobs for exp

[slim mango]

This is weird. Before it appears that the food buff was ignoring the max stat increase provided by food. But once I hit level 80 CUL it somehow started taking that into account

I think it's because there's a food better than HQ Blood Boullibase

[outer mural]

that is incorrect

[twilit arch]

I think they were misremembering the 5.3 changes which made it so that gear durability and spiritbonding is calculated at the end of a run

exp wasn't affected by that change

[tidal yarrow]

do people queue or pf the raids for the relic?

[outer mural]

both are fine, pf will be faster if you can get a party together since people will most likely be competent if they're PFing it

[feral nebula]

mostly pf

[outer mural]

i just queue'd for mine, wasn't that slow

[obsidian patio]

There was a change before that which moved some % of the mob experience to the final boss, to discourage “first room” farm parties of dungeons like Dzemael Darkhold and Doma Castle

[twilit arch]

that was back in stormblood tho ^

[feral nebula]

Ah idk, what should i do then?

because the guy is technically stopping the tank from pulling mobs for exp

saying we get it at the end

[outer mural]

he is wrong

tell him that

[obsidian patio]

You can easily prove it by killing an enemy

[outer mural]

if he refuses to really cooperate, then you're the tank. pull to your capacity, i suppose

[obsidian patio]

And looking at your EXP bar

[outer mural]

it even just says it in chat

[elder root]

yeah as the tank, you have the most power in the group

[twilit arch]

or the chat because you'll get an experience message

[outer mural]

that's why all the exp boosts you get, bar road to 70, affect specifically mobs and nothing else

[feral nebula]

wish i was the tank

[elder root]

assert your dominance

[outer mural]

oh i misinterpretted

[heavy wadi]

not really

[outer mural]

well he is a peepee poopoo head

[elder root]

not with that attitude

[outer mural]

and you should just finish the dungeon and not really argue if he's not gonna budge

but definitely bring it up that he's not right

[elder root]

the tank dictates the pace of the pulls anyway

just run in and they have no choice but to keep up

[outer mural]

i would generally not advise griefing or violation of dungeon ettiquette

[little swift]

also untrue about tank controlling the pace

[outer mural]

but speaking and communicating is the right thing to do beforehand

[little swift]

the pace is set by the capabilities of teh entire group

[outer mural]

and if not, i just advise sucking it up nad not really causing and strife because ofi t

[little swift]

regardless of what sort of big dick energy you thinnk you may have

[outer mural]

also yeah a tank willing to pull fat is only as capable as his healer allows him to be

[little swift]

content is a team effort, you can't pull more than your healer can do, while also being limited by the amount of damage your dps output
