will those sidequests be in the overworld themselves
or they can be in the cities too
they're usually in the settlements
Is there a way to disable shadows completely? I cant stand how amd handles dx11
i think my fave minion is midgardsormr honestly
i like that he flies and goes to ur shoulder
are there any other minions like that
Is it tos buy mog station items from 3rd party
what
lol
Why would you do that
Buy them first party
there's no way it wouldn't be lmao
Cuz you can get them cheaper?
I can get tales of adventure of 9 dollars
Instead of 25
there'd a shadows option, just turn all of it off :D
cool, a 9 dollar account ban
how would they even know
My friend bought all his class quest from.the site
@tropic flame I have and there are still shadows.. and they flicker something unholy
And isn't banned?
that its 3rd party
That is 100% against the tos.
Welp he's not banned lol
doesn't matter.
[yet]
It's been 3 years
is there any way to travel faster? I keep having to go from the corner of the city all the way down to the bottom of a different area and it takes a long time to travel inbetween quests
How would they know if he doesn't tell anyone?
They literally buy the code from.steam and don't use it instead they resell
i dont know how to fix rhat tbh my laptop does it too even on high res :<
use the aethernet
aethernet + teleport is how you'll get through faster until you get a mount + flying
what's aethernet?
the connection in a city between the big aetheryte and the tiny shards
the thing that has a 900 cd?
its the small aetherytes in cities
you can use that anytime for a small fee
don't think I can use that with my 200 gil lol
yeah u just have to walk in the beginning
its annoying
but eventually ull just teleport everywhere once u get some more gil
its part of the sprout experience :D
take in the sights and the music
is there autopathing?
only autorun
a blessing and a curse it seems
i guess technically there are chocobo porters at each major area that'll autopath you between areas for a fee
it's really not worth the cost
I mean I like that it isn't an autopath mmo it's nice but also kinda sucks haha
not... really
wtfff connection to server lost
i was about to win a duty oml
thats soo annoying
i have to start it all over?
@leaden ginkgothx
why cant i increase the rank
talk to the npc at the base
the commander ?
you must obey the dance (resistance) commander
huh ?
they'll be highlighted when you're able to rank up
the npc with
above their head
none.
have you done the quest?
you need to do any quests you see within the instance
do the blue quests
ok thanks
Is there any reason why I shouldn't go max HP for the bonus mettle stuff?
Does praetorium only give good exp during roulette?
Damage so you kill faster

Damage is absolutely the best choice for resistance honours

yes, the exp from the mobs in the instance generally isn't that great especially the higher lvl you are
I see, thanks
how do you turn your character in the fitting room (when you try on an item) on ps5 w/ controller? clicking on the touchpad switches between all the menus on the screen ๐ฆ
As someone who dies a lot in DR, etc would damage still be preferable?
Yes
@solar kernel click the eye icon
Max hp won't save you from doom
omg thank you!! i was going nuts
when you are using a flying mount and you wanna go from one location to another do you have to go through whatever gate separates the zone or just fly in a direction? Do zones open up more after the first part of the main story quests?
You have to go through the gates
You have to go through the zone gate
And no, zones will always be completely detached and seperate
Not sure what you really mean by โopen up moreโ
flying doesnt change anything about the zone
And while you can fly over unpathable terrain, you cannot land
You just get to move faster and be less constrained to paths
whats the point of using raging halone if i have gloring blade
Goring blade doesn't stack with itself
do i have to finish A Fish in Hot Water to be able to catch warmwater trouts with Versatile Lures?
I'm trying to grab the five fish I need for this quest with a Lure because the bait is kind of expensive for me
There isnโt one, itโs weird leveling design
Your default combo should be to spam goring blade for now
Oh, you don't have Royal authority yet. I see.
Until RoH upgrades to Royal Authority at lv.60
lol my next job quest is titled hey soul crystal
no, fishing is just very rng
Alright, I'll just keep at it ๐
If you do an extreme trial unsynced do you still get the same rewards?
Specifically for rathalos extreme do you get the Scales+ still
yes
pog
what should i do to prograss shb relic
Looks like you might need to progress the Bozja storyline
I.e. unlock the southern front
!faq
!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.
About to max reputation the "ARR crafting beasttribe quest". Is it worth going back to for easy experience on sub 50 DoH classes?
does essence of the beast increase damage?
is Critical Engagements spawns random ?
no
Just to double check - For fishing, Gathering and Perception only increase the speed and HQ item chance, right?
There is no invisible minimum threshold I need to catch particular fish?
people use it because lost assassinate gives you permanent uptime on lost font ofp ower
if no how to trigger them
which is really really strong in regular bozja
and okay in DR though pure essences will generally be better bang for ur buck
i see thanks
Are there any videos of the BSF Lyon duel with the flare star cheese? It seems like it would be more difficult to pull off.
no certain fish do have a min gathering requirement
Guys once in a while my M key does not open map instead it opens the signs menu for some reason anyone know how to fix it
gotta search for it seems
Is warmwater trout one of them?
thanks anyways
Means your shift key is being pressed somehow used to happen to me a lot
where are you trying to fish from
You're right idk why it was stuck lmao
fool falls
Think itโs something to do with chat though
iirc it could be fixed instantly by just pressing shift again
i've been searching for this question too but didn't got answers so
looks like you're fine, rng is just being a bitch to ya right now ๐คทโโ๏ธ
do be how it goes sometimes with fishing
:( I'll let you know if I hit 80 FSH before I get my first bite. Thanks for checking
They spawn based on mech deaths
definitely have to take the approach with fishing that things probably aren't going to happen quickly :\
So if you want to spawn ces.. farm clusters.
think i got like 3-4 levels trying to complete the first heavensward fisher quest back in the day
any mech ?
Yeah I'm closing in on the 4th level gained ๐
Of course, each ce has a cooldown and some are based on specific mechs
There's a table somewhere that shows CE > mech connections, but I don't remember where I saw it
Fish encounter rates are affected by time of day as well as weather. Maybe youโre just not doing it at the optimal moment
do mogstation outfits have discounts?
Which roulettes tend to be the most worth it again? Leveling, dungeons, MSQs, and alliance raids?
Where you farm them matters -- zone 1 mechs produce zone 1 ces

They're all worth it for exp except cap dungeons roulette
What's a cap dungeon roueltte
50/60/70
50/60/70
oh
Oh ok
I mean, you were technically correct xd
Finally got my first trout ๐
Currency you can use to buy things at a vendor in bozja
Basically, bozja mobs are divided into two groups, monsters and mechs monsters drop fragments that turn into abilities mechs drop clusters which are currency
;o
Of course.. the most important dr fragments are purchased with clusters.. but I am not Square's design team
So people mostly do dungeons for leveling, right?
On secondary jobs yeah

is monk kinda like ninja where you press buttons every 60 seconds and not much in between
No
monk has more consistent damage, with pretty nice burst
NIN has its own playstyle and rotation
but not as extreme as ninja's in either of those regards
ninja has high bursts and pretty middling output in between
in addition to just different playstyle and emphasis on positionals yeah
NIN has fairly consistent use of mudras woven into their 1-2-3 rotation.
@shut pantherthanks buddy
Dancer is basically press the flashing button
The dances have extremely high potency but it's a bit misleading because they technically take multiple gcds
Who sells the Ironworks gear in Mor Dhona and where are they
yes
weapon is from aelina
And for future reference are the Rowena's Representatives already in the cities as soon as you finish 2.0 MSQ
yes once you complete 2.0 msq, the vendors appear in the starting cities
so on one of the first quests it says to kill snapping shrew
but i cant find them anywhere
been running inside the red circle forever
Look on your minimap and you'll see these little icons on it
Looks like small versions of this
but without the !
yeah but between your flourishes is it really just gcd press or is there something else..?
i dont have those ๐ฆ
@gusty storm thats basically it
unlucky

you know that guy who was translating the japanese to english for fan fest 2021
what about it
is he a band member of the primals? cuz he was singing during the show
yes he is
oh ok i was confused cuz i thought he was just doing the translating lol
why do 2 item level 510 smoked chickens have different %? one has +8% and the other has +10%
i didnt even notice when i bought them,
HQ vs NQ
another victim
anyone know why my account got suspended? I havent anything wrong. Square also hasnt told me why i'm being suspended.
if square didn't tell you then we ourselves certainly don't know
only SE can tell you
@twilit arch Figured I'll tag you for this because you were helping me out with the warmwater trouts.
I just learned about https://en.ff14angler.com/ which helps a lot with fishing, shows which baits to use etc.
Turns out it wasn't so much RNG that screwed me over but my choice of bait as well.
If I'm interpreting the numbers correctly, with my versatile lure I have a 0.6% chance of catching a warmwater trout - and with crow flies I have a considerably higher catch rate at 33.3%.
Now that I've attempted crow fly bait, I also found out that - similar to lures - it does not seem to get used up either.
So yeah I could've saved A LOT of time here ๐
hhmm you would think they would tell what i did before suspending me..
hey what's a levequest ? (I'm leveling up blacksmith)
check your emails or send them a report
levequests are basically repeatable minor quests (like bounties from Destiny 2 if you'e ever played that)
can 1 DPS bait all landmines in TEA?
you fulfill the objective (usually turning in a crafted item for crafted) and get rewards for it
it gives pretty good exp and some decent mats/money if you do it around the level ur at
they are in #resources as well as #doh-dol-lounge pins. The problem with that site is that it often breaks and generally does not work at all on mobile but its a nice resource
do they have like, a different icon or something ?
yeah they should look like a metal playing guard
you get them from levemetes specifically
playing card*
you have a limited amount at a time
you can only hold 100 leve allowances max
you get up to 100, but they recharega at 3 per 12 hours irl time
so you can't spam them infinitely after a certain point
but it is still worth doing them regardless
and they suck for combat classes
I know, I'm trying to learn this complicated-asss crafting system
they are also used at 80 for money making
an I'm following some guides
yeah guides should help, cannot go wrong with doing some levequests
@gusty island i would keep in mind that catbecamehungry's numbers require people to have their app or whatever it is downloaded for those numbers
ok, I think I got it know, thanks a bunch!
and versatile lure is a much newer bait
any advice for someone coming out of free trial version to full game?
not really
not really. if you did fine with the trial, not really much else to say with the full game
but yes there's certain baits that are going to work better for specific fish, versatile lure is also more aimed at when you don't care specifically for what you want/want to be lazy and not carry around 5 billion baits
do you have specific questions that would help?
can you undo glams to items?
yes, use a glamour dispeller
use glamour dispeller
mmm, steamed glams
wait how
the same way you glamoured it
right click > cast glamour > remove glamour
LOL why did i not see that
Whats the diff of using the duty finder Leveling and just picking which dungeon i wanna do ? Of course, this is not including the roulette bonus tho
without the bonus there is no difference
leveling roulette just puts you in a random dungeon
nothing, though it might arguably be harder to get into stuff because levelling queue might have a bunch of people in it too
for 'turn away from boss' mechanics, i have two questions:
-
is it only your character that has to turn away? not your actual screen camera?
-
do you have to untarget the boss? a few reddit posts mention something about targeting an enemy makes your character face them but im not sure how up to date this information is.
this is prob a dumb question but where do i spend Allagan tomestones?
your character has to face away
target doesnt matter
and its a setting that whenever you do an attack your character automatically faces the boss
so dont attack
what level are you? 50 i presume?
58
what level are you in the MSQ?
alrighty, there will be vendors in each of the 3 citystates that sell em
and at mor dhona too buuut
right now only the endwalker pre-order key works right? the collector's edition will work later once endwalker launch?
easiest way to find he vendor is to go to ul'dah, exit out of the main aetheryte plaza, turn to ur left
there's a sundry splendors vendor there that gives u a neat menu to buy tomesotne gear
correct, you can only get the pre-order bonus rn
correct, can only apply the preorder code right now
ok thank you
you want augmented ironworks gear, filation
buy as much as u can, but don't stress it if yo u can't get a full set atm
keep doing content, you will get more
Just learning about extracting Materia, is there any downsides to extracting materia? Should I always be extracting whenever I spirit bond?
no and yes
thank you very much @outer mural @twilit arch !
so i've noticed they also have a recommended level to extract, is that like chance to fail if i'm not that level?
what recommended level
er i guess it's not recommended, but the "Materia Melding: 'x' level"
melding is different
oh so that's different then? Extracting doesn't have any reqs? Just extract away?
yes
yes
oh sweet
it will give materia based on its level range
it will also give different types of materia depending on which class's armor you are extracting from
ie you will get tenacity from tank armor, and piety from healer armor
answer is still just to always extract regardless, literally always a gain to
and is it rng what level of materia? or is that dependent on level of gear?
like lvl 50 gear will have a set range of materia quality?
yes to the rng part
and yes to the second question
level 80 gear will drop 7 and 8s, which is what is used
whereas lower levels such as the 70 range will drop 5 and 6
and so forth
so what do i do with the low level ones? Is there a method to fuse them to upgrade? Or just use and trash later?
there is a method to fuse, you talk to the materia melder goblin in central thanalan and he can fuse 5 into 1
with the potential to upgrade
i use it to turn the materia i do not use into other colors that sell for more
oh it'll randomly upgrade into a random one?
it will also always give you a materia color that isn't one you use to fuse
for example if i use a red, a purple, and a yellow
it will give me a green or a blue, never any of the colors i put in
(of course you can still get the same colors since there are multiple types of the same color)
ah okay, so it gives you some form of control
but it helps your odds
yes
it is worth doing for the potential sales plus it feels really good when u clear ur inventory of trash materia
does a certain color sell more often or is worth more? Or does it change often?
usually blues since crafting is popular and requires materia more extensively than other classes that use materia
so it seems like farming for haunting and vexatious memories by doing fates doesn't 100% guarantee a drop for the memories? Is that correct? Only the raids guarantee a drop at the end?
greens are a close second
yes
correct to all of those questions
it's approximately 25% for fates
sweet, thanks for the info o7
Tbh, extraction at low levels is barely worth the effort of opening the menu
yeah don't really tear your hair out trying to grab as many materia as possible
if you remember, just do it
Though, tbh pt2, even at 80 materia prices have crashed too
you should only really care about it at higher levels around 70 - 80
yeah, not anything like day 1 patches but still decent cash
I'm assuming that's when i need to level up my crafters then right? It's my crafting jobs that meld it on?
Crafting materia are far more important
Basically, you can't meld primary stats, which are the most important for combat classes
Crafter/gatherer don't even have primary stats so
You can meld the 3 relevant stats
And turn level "480" items into "significantly better than 500 without materia"
you dont need a crafter to meld your materia either. crafting is optional
You need a crafter for advanced melding, but that's a story for a much later time
And you can get another person to do it
so the meld saying disciple of hand lvl 'x' can be ignored?
And it's.. not relevant to 90% of the playerbase
If you don't have a crafter that can do it yourself, an NPC can
you can talk to an NPC to meld for you.
For a trivial fee
oh nice, thanks
Again, with the exception of advanced melding, which is only relevant to high level players
I've a silly question. I just realised to complete my card collection I actually need to place first in an open tournament, does it count for any time you rank first during it or by the end of it?
does glamor let me make an axe look like a sword?
No
damn
Weapon glamours are strict on your job's weapon type
Since that's the defining factor of the job
yea i just wish i could be warrior with a sword lmao
It doesn't really flow with the warrior's aesthetic, though you can be a dark knight
warriors use axes period
yea but dark knight is ... dark
You can hide paladins shield
But yeah back to my question, since I wanna prep for the next tournament
Open tournaments are different, those are draft. Only gives gold triad cards and a very rare chance at platinum.
Which kind of enemies do you farm in zadnor to get the lost fragments that gives you potions?
There's more than one type of tournament?
yeah, there's the ones that they hold i think every 2 weeks?
those are the ones you're probably talking about
I thought I had to wait for 2 weeks
yeah those are a different tournament, open tourneys are every 2 hours
Oh thank god
still very rare to get platinum cards though lmao
I just want the phoenix card rofl
ah then yeah that's pretty easy
Also since I just blew 1.4mil MGP to get all the buyable regular cards what's a stress free way to refill my coffers?

weekly challenge list, fashion report
at least that's what I'd assume (I'm only a week into the game myself lol)
i wouldn't really call grinding mgp stressful either way but doing the bare minimum of doing 5 gates + fashion report is fine
the rest of the challenge log is also nice
this fisher 50 quest says to use goby balls on north bloodshore, but when i do it it says my bait is not suited to the area
the most lucrative MGP farm is chocobo racing but it is by no means stress free
i skip mahjong and chocobo race wins per week
The one to catch a titanic sawfish?
^ I doubt i'd ever bother with those
Oh its precursor
It says that when there aren't viable fish in the spot
As things move along things like time of day and weather will affect whether fish will spawn and how frequently
The marlin's a double mooch
Anything that can let you catch a harbor herring works
It's the fisher's bible
Can you only get plate of lights from desynthing the weapons or is there some sort of housing decoration themed around him that can drop the plate
I keep getting an error when I try downloading the game
unable to download patch files 30413 25008 10009
Me and a friend have tried everything from VPN to turning off firewall etc
Nothing seems to work... Are there any other options?
I have played the game in the past, nothing changed with regards to my ISP, I just got a new PC
update internet explorer
update it anyway
It's either dropped or desynthed from the weapons, like every other similar trial
Aight
There is a furnishing, but like all primal furnishings it requires the rare material to craft
Just wondering cause like every stormblood and a few heavensward furnishings that desynth into the mat.
check if you have windows updates
Nothing
The furnishing may desynth back into the mat, no one has tried it because thatโs a completely backwards way to get it
use your phone hotspot wifi
its also very strange that the game downloads so fucking slow
I cant
My PC only uses ethernet
You canโt get the furnishing without already having the mat
On other platforms I download at like 20mbps, on FF 1mbps
I will try ordering a dongle just for this game then
Lets hope that works
Otherwise no FF I suppose 
I mean, Shinryu scales can be gotten from the painting but the site doesn't show that on the main thing
that is valid
better idea would be to consider what Lyon said: if you need to make it with the mat itself, it probably isn't a viable way of getting it unless you already had it lying around
Yeah it isn't widely available to obtain like the stormblood furnishings
They've risen in price dramatically cause I think a lot of people found out you can get the mats from the furnishings that are obtained from Bozja/Zadnor luckboxes
yo can anyone explain how the looting works in dungeons? if i hit need or greed does that take it away from other players or something?
need > greed > pass
you can only need on equipment that your current class can equip
O1 and O3 for SB
SHB idk cause I did zadnor for all of those memories
oh, most likely Rab for SB
so what if i dont hit anything?
Not sure if you can get any memories from SHB alliance raids
then the timer just ticks down
then it automatically rolls greed for you iirc
is need or greed better to do on gear that is meh to u like its ok if u have it or not
depends on if it's an upgrade to your current gear
if the item level is higher, it's most likely better.\
all i need is one more quest realted aether current, i have the 2 from teh settlement , one from msq, and one from the falcons nest
where is the last one anyone know
but im confused on which one i press to just roll normally
Greed
do you want the item?
then need if you cant
if you cant then greed
if you dont want it pass
also, how do i get to drivania?
msq
so need if i want greed for 50 50 and pass for not want
no
youre still rolling against other people
follow the quest markers.
How do I fix this error?
if someone else rolls need with you then youll be rolling against them
if nobody else needs then it automatically goes to you
ok cause i hit greed on one and then it said it added to my invo right away
quest markers?
then it means nobody rolled need and you rolled the highest greed
am i supposed to get there from coerthas western highlands
do msq
i am it says journey into the dravanian forelands
then click the objective and go to the marker
idk how to tho, everything around is unattuned
all of dravania is unattuned for me idk how to get there in general lol
Usually if you canโt get to some place so msq
If I don't need white scrips for gear ,what's the best use for them?
Buy materia or sublime solutions. Check your serverโs market prices to see whatโs the most efficient gil per scrip.
Buy level 80 gear to desynth
Thatโs also a valid choice
Is it still recommended to keep up with guildhests/levequests if Iโm just trying to focus on the MSQ on a preferred server? Or are they basically just for xp and arenโt worth the time with the โRoad to 70โ buff?
Aha, so definitely will keep doing those lol.
can you send mail cross server
Sorry I'm dumbo, I meant white allegory tomestones ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
I only noticed this now
Do you have all 520 gear?
No
Do you have exarchic gear?
Yes
Rain bottles
Very close to finishing upgrading it tho
Well, once you've finished upgrading your exarchic gear to augmented
It's basically just buy the crafting materials and sell them
Ah, ok ty
Or as people stated, buy gear to desynth
But personally I think that one is inefficient
Deep shadow or Crystarium gear to desynth
Deep Shadow is nuts, isn't it?
Hello there
in Bozja, the Dynamis Dice gives the buff "High Wire," which states "Heightened excitement is causing actions to become more erratic"
Does anyone know what exactly this means?
Is there an option to translate a item or skill name from my setted language into another?
so i retired my racing chocobo at lvl 14 and now have no race chocobos how can i get another one?
Shouldn't the item you link automatically translate to whatever client the reader is using, since it's an item code?
It does
Also @leaden ginkgo you breed a new one
Using the retired chocobo as the parent
That's how you gradually get progressively better chocobos
Do I need a certain Item Level before continuing on with the story after AR:R?

Item levels are only really required for duties
It gauges whether you're properly equipped for the encounter
Have you been doing your job quests?
A good recommendation is to grab an ironworks set which only costs poetics from Mor Dhona
will that take long?
Poetics are the easiest tomestones to acquire
You get 1/4 of max by doing msq roulette
But at your level MSQ may give better equipment
how do I do the roullette?
An example: A guide says use 'Temperance'. But I'm playing on german, so the translation for me is 'Linderung'.
In this case I obviously know about it, but is there a quick way (ingame translator for example) to get from the english version to the german one?
Currently I have to use garland tools and switch between languages in order to find out what the translation is, but I'ld like a faster way
Open duty finder, check the duties and queue
Wait Rez, have you reached HW?
I just finished base game MSQ
should I also do these 2 dungeons that also give poetics?
castrum and the praetorium
Only when doing msq roulette
If you don't mind their padding the MSQ roulette is fantastic for exp
how do you get the item level 90 ? me still using the item level 55 and still in level 54 character
I actually forgot
I think the Samurai job quest?
yeah SAM job quest gave 115 pieces
not everything but some
so should I get a full set of ironworks gear before starting HW MSQ?
Not necessary but its nice
https://i.imgur.com/pXSC8YZ.png are the 'n line rewards' cumulative? ex. if you did 3 lines would you get the previous rewards as well?
Just upgrade what you can
Ironworks will carry you til about lvl 55 msq
If you're more impatient buying the HQ stuff from the market is an option
@rancid viper yes
and can I spam MSQ Roulette?
^
So spamming it is less useful
You can do it as many times as you like but the bonus is daily
im just wanting to get the full set of ironworks asap so i can start HW MSQ. I heard thats when the story gets really good
Itโs the same with the other roulettes
The alliance raid can drop some adequate upgrades for the time too
is glamor based on gear i have in my invo or gear ive ever had
Glamour copies the look of gear you own onto another
The glamour sticks if you get rid of the source item, but if you want to reapply it that's another story
I suggest you hold onto the gear you particularly fancy
has three retainers with unique gear
Which is why the glam dresser exists
Which can definitely do with an expansion
do i need to retire my chocobo at rank 40 and buy a one time breeder one to breed them?
Yeah
because i retired mine at lvl 14 accidentally and cant figure out how to get one now
so i cant get a rank 40 one
what do i do to get a new one?
You can buy a fresh breeder certificate of each sex
ah ok but how do i breed them?
because when i talk to the breeder guy he dosent do anything
do i need to do a quest?
From what I'm reading one of the certs needs to be of a retired chocobo
I believe so
This one
ok but can i buy a lvl 1 chocobo?
or am i locked out?
because i currently have none
I don't quite recall, what does it say when you go apply for races?
it says i have no race chocobo
Should I harvest or leave them there till the other plants finish growing? https://i.imgur.com/iuR1wbk.png
I'm crossbreeding
Does anyone have any suggestions on some contents that are difficult than Ex but easier than savage? Looking for something in between to increase my skills without feeling miserable
ok i figured it out
Harder than EX but easier than Savage?
how worth is the musical abilty from bard tbh?
Delubrum Reginae comes to mind
bard performance is just side content
and it takes like 5 secs to unlock
DR normal isnt harder than EX
is there a way to get the glam of the previous relic weapons?
Has there been any info regarding the preorder of endwalker collectors box? Sold out fast and they dont offer a "notify me when restocked"
iunno I just find dealing with pugs harder than a static
Is it official that there wont be any restock?
@leaden zinc you need to get to a certain step of the relic to unlock replicas
Yes, do their questlines
I haven't tried anything related to bozjan, but is it worth a try? I'm think Exs are pretty simple, but I might not have enough skills to challenge savage
You can harvest those and replant them, you don't have to wait
oh ok
Crossbreeding is decided/calculated the moment you plant them
There isn't that big a difference between EX and Savage until you hit the final boss of the tier
@warm root if theres no notifications of restocks then they wont be restocking
and it says no longer available on the site
Thanks! I will give it a try
If you still feel like you need to test your potential, give Stone, Sea, Sky a try
It's a simplified simulation of the encounter to gauge whether your damage is up to par
It does its job for benchmarking
not really
so if i can finish the relic questline, does that mean i can also unlock its previous versions?
!faq sss
- SSS does not account for a jobโs RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
- SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
- Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
- Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
- SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
- 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
- Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
@leaden zinc yes
thanks!
Well then
Huh is ther any reason people keep talking about Professionals set for Scrip gear when we have Handsaint's set? Isn't it better just to get that one?
or am I just reading outdated discussions?
Outdated
Yeah
Outdated indeed, the professional' set was the catch-up equivalent to facet gear
Handsaint is the catch-up gear for aesthetes
If you forget to water Allagan Melons once during the 7 days, does the timer reset, or does it count the next time you water, or do you need to start over?
How many breach coins can you get per week? Only 1, right?
When people post stuff on MB, can we only buy ALL their selling QTY not just 'x' amount of what they're selling?
yes
dang
What does this quest unlock?
Crystal tower...?
Yeah probably the ending for Crystal tower
What timer, the one that decides when itโs done growing?
So the rod I need to turn in can only be made by a level 50 Alchemist, I'm only level 16 and the only ones on market is 100k. Is it worth it buying it from MB to turn in for this quest? Just don't bother with it since it's only a level 50 gear reward?
correct
Wait, is breach the latest raid?
The other ones are unlimited, only the final raid is 1/week
Yes
Itโs just for glamour
But it shouldnโt be that expensive. Try other worldsโ marketboards
Are you looking at ones with the needed materia already on it?
!market primal madmanโs whispering rod

how do you buy from other worlds?
If so look at the price of the materia needed and put it on yourself with the NPC menders
Go to one of the three starting cities, interact with the aetheryte and โvisit another world serverโ
Or some such thing
Then youโll load into another world as a visitor
And can go check the marketboard.
That unlocks the repeatable quest to get tokens that you can turn in for weapons at Aelina
Does that work for selling too? Or only buying?
going to other worlds and checking MB i mean
Only buying
So im almost capped on 300k gil on trial. What can i use them for ?
Actually, scratch that, I am thinking of the repeatable EX primals quest. the CT repeatable gives you items that are essentially worthless now
oh, sad
got one for 17k instead of 100k, thanks o7
But yeah, I think I need to do it to unlock CT in NG+
Honestly? Practically nothing.
I have no memory of the story of CT, so I want to NG+ it again
Not without access to the marketboard.
Well its fine then, ill just leave it be
Yeah thatโs it
Buy mats from NPC to level crafter too
If you put a retainer in the house can you adjust prices of your items without them having to stop selling?

No, they will always stop selling temporarily while you have them summoned at the bell
You canโt make them do stuff by speaking to them posted in your yard.
Itโs still all done via the retainer bell.
oh
Medium
kk
i saw before there was an option to see the recommended quests, where can i see that optionยฟ
So once I do โthe resistance remembersโ I automatically jump from Laws Order to Aug?
no, you still need to do the timeworn artifact quest
Lol I fucking wish
Those sets of 30 springs/books/ etc from zadnor
Do I have to collect them for each weapon?
Oh thank goodness
Do classes level up faster if I have more level 80s?
No
Different sea of clouds
(Yes itโs confusing)
But basically the cliffsides of the part of the Coerthas central highlands facing the city of Ishgard is also called the sea of clouds.
oh
I donโt know if all of the cliff side counts as the fishing spot, but I DO know the area directly north of Whitebrim should count.

I started playing ff 14 5 Days ago and so far so good but i have some questions related to the feel of the classes and the game in general.
i would be very happy if you guys could answer it.
1- I am lvl 55(SAM) and i am not feeling the so called big hits or the class it feels a little bit clunky, probally because i am low level but i want to know if it will get better later on?
2- Where do people level up after 50? i am doing my dailies and main quests but besides from the dailies the main quest are useless
3- Which class do you feel that has the most impact dps related. Like not just big hits but what does feel good to play ?like satisfying.
most definitely gets better at 80 considering youll get the ability to do two midares in a row
what does or doesn't feel good is like the most subjective thing
main quests slow down in terms of xp rewards in the patch phase of a given expansion
which you are in right now
How did you get to 50 in five days? I'm curious
Once you reach Heavensward it'll pick up again
couldve just blazed through the msq
you can get to 50 in 5 days just doing msq
Crackhead level of level up
dailies spamming too ig
i don^t know what msq is
main quests
main story quest
main story quest
oh
what main quest are you up to anyway
but after 50 they only give 4k
yes
i need like 2m
yeah thats normal
see what I wrote above
because lvl 51 didnt exist
anyone have bozja tablet ?
once you get to heavensward xp gain goes up again
and youre supposed to start heavensward at 50
patch quests are low on xp rewards because originally those happened with the lvl cap still being 50
once you reach the next expansion you will get more xp again
You're going to have to continue the MSQ if you plan to do anything substantial
Your level means nothing if you haven't progressed with MSQ
Anything you've learned from other MMOs will have to be unlearned here
ohhh okay so i am between A realm reborn and Heavensward right now , got it
still in ARR
i did all the ARR
MSQ > Powerlevelling
it'll be the same for all the other expansions too
yes
the stretch where the patch msq kicks in is always low on xp
If you're not in Ishgard, you're still in ARR storywise
^
whatever you like

any really
what bozja tablet
table probably
all jobs are good so that's a very subjective question
Jobs do differ in playstyles
i want bozja table for what to kill to trigger fate
i mean like for example proc wise or dps wise or tank wise
what do you guys main for example
and why
still too subjective ๐
every tank
dark knight and astrologian because they just look cool
gun breaker and scholar love their playstyle
RDM, AST & DRK because they're flashy I guess

if u want to be edgy take dark knight
til reaper comes out anyway
but i also like black mage, bard, warrior and ninja
if u want to be dps edgy wait for reaper
Black Mage i was told to be a sentry gun class
its a turret caster yes
I say try a class out then decide if you like it first
thats how casters work yes
Going by the tanks alone (which I main):
feels fairly flexible and has the strongest mitigation ability among the tanks
is the most robust tank and definitely feels hefty
I didn't play much but its rotations are fluid
is subjectively the most durable and the coolest looking followed with 
i mean black mage has the longest casting
i see
which is part of the reason why i find it the most impactful
and satisfying to play
sometimes i play black mage i dont hate it i enjoy playing it
when you get off your combos and long cast times and dodge perfectly and it makes you feel big brain
do FATEs while queuing :3
I had a train going in the steppes a few days back, got 10 vex in an hour
and avoid orbone, and the ozma one
The raids are consistent but so tedious
i hope we can see the job actions in Endwalker in E3
sadge
they hosted their own reveal event less than a month ago
what about summer games ?
6 vs 5 months to go, its still in development, they're not gonna show anything new
have 5 month to level all my jobs to 80 before ew
You're still new, enjoy the ride for the time being
This is the perfect time to catch up
anything time limited you can usually only need level 15
seasonal event
Gold saucer premium
like halloween or valentines
what it has
double payouts from gold saucer for a week
i dont play or use mgp

isnt it gona be like 2 mil
the regalia isnt part of make it rain
it'll have a new minion or mount or a piece of glam like other seasonal events
i have jackshit 
isn't real money ?
oh wha thats not too bad
i think i might have enough
even if you don't make it rain is a good chance to get said mgp
also there's lots of mounts, minions, emotes and hairstyles you can buy with mgp
oh and ofc glamour
as usual wesk alber put out a video on gold saucer stuff
he put it out last make it rain
if moogle trasure endend it will start a new one after it or ?
Is there a progression guide anywhere regarding where to unlock everything?
I'm talking about things like raids and trials + other things that are important which a new player wouldn't normally unlock after running through the MSQ
!faq contentunlock
@wispy basalt no
we don't know, probably not yet
there's usually some time between them
Nice, thank you
and usually more than between this one and the last one
ok thanks
is there any info on what the odds of you getting either of the 2 mounts from the rabbit chests in Eureka?
Hey! I cant seem to find the crysta cost for a month of subscription, is it the same cost if I paid with a credit card?
yes
RNG like that is calculated server side, no way of knowing short of hacking the servers
I am not suggesting anyone hack the servers
Hey guys, I've recently started playing ffxiv and I'm now level 56 with the dragoon, I was wondering if you coukd tell me how long it'll take to reach SB content and if I should do dungeons and stuff from the other expansions
this game is basically 4 JRPGS duct taped together in terms of length
so it depends where you are currently in the MSQ
Because some of my friends are in the endgame content and I'm trying to reach them as fast as possible
I've just helped Minfilia and the others escape
post arr?
Oh okay thanks :)
that's about 2/3 through base ARR
makes sense then
If I want the flame elite's lioncloth do I have to be apart of the immortal flames?
So I was wondering if once I finish the main quest I should farm for the endgame content of each expansion or nah
Because as I said, I'm trying to reach my friends in endgame as fast as possible :,)
yes
is there a way to increase drop rate of monster loots in the wild? (e.g. acidic secretion etc)
!skill mug
Delivers an attack with a potency of 150.
Additional Effect: Increases the chance of additional items being dropped by target if Mug is dealt before, or as, the finishing blow
Additional Effect: Increases Ninki Gauge by 40
Ninja's Mug
that's it
Nothing you should rely on anyway
qwq so i need to raise nin nin, is it worth to?
1% is still an "increase", and we don't know how much it "increases", on top of 2 minute cooldown
ooof

Just grab a ranged job and mass slaughter things
still
30m
fine ill search myself
THANKS
if no one has an answer no one's gonna give one.
Powerlevelling is meaningless if you don't continue the MSQ
Prioritise that above anything else for progression
How do I get my level 80 artifact gear
from grenoldt in the tempest after doing the role quests relevant to your job
where is grendoldt there
yo i sold my THM staff from lvl 1 now i can`t change my class where can i get a new one
The only one I remember offhand is the scorpions in the top zone of BSF spawns the Sautevoir Duel, only because it has a skirmish which can give the Dyunbu Notes.
Check the weapons vendor in the city
thanks
all 3 of these located in their respective city market
Is it worth doing side quests during realm reborn? Trying to do em all In case of them have interesting stories, but so far they're not very interesting
most of them are very plain and don't give much
!faq questicons
if there's any to watch out for, look for if the description of the quest upon grabbing it has a picture of some kind over it.
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
Gotcha, thanks!
idk what duals used to be
saw to many people using duals but didn't know why
Damn theres a queue to get into the server
thats insane
i guess its cause in playing on the xp boosted server
ah okay im in
awesome
Is there no LFG channel in this server or am just blind?
can some one tell me how the bloody hell do I set the ffxiv forums back to mobile format????
Yes and no. Blue sidequests unlock new features such as additional duties or logs, so always do these; Regular sidequests can provide interesting rewards but can be ignored if you don't care for the worldbuilding or gear rewards
also, can i switch my class anytime? im honestly not really feeling archer after knowing ill be a bard later on
im only L4
or do i have to lvl up for that?
Later on to unlock flight a series of sidequests in an area would have to be completed as well
Yes
not really. you can try using the recruitment channels or regional channels for it.
๐ thank you!
just pick your datacenter in #612757637813239808 and you'll get the relevant channels
ohhh right
You just need to reach level 10 and talk with another class's teacher
how do i check my datacenter?
again?
oh
thank you!
whats the melee DPS class?
i know theres a melee tank or two
all tanks are melee
Pugilist and Lancer are the starter melee
The melee dps starting classes are lancer (upgrades to dragoon) and pugilist (upgrades to monk)
There's four tanks, three healers, four physical dps, three ranged dps, and three casters
Two other melee, ninja and samurai, are unlockable later yes
sure is
why i got only 50% in bozja ?
If you love it now, you're going to be blown away
i mean its an FF game
cant wait
ive been loving it sofar
cant wait til i get a mount
its lvl10 right?
That's pretty early too, 20 I believe
and after a short sidequest you can get it to fight with you too

my bad
