@jade quartz @dire prawn I’d go with a preferred server then thanks!

If the latter, just visit the main aetheryte in any of the three starting cities and interact with it > select “visit another world”

[finite flume]

What does visiting actually let you do besides chat

Can you do content ?

[jade quartz]

Yes

[dire prawn]

By default you can do content with anyone and everyone across the entire DC you're on

[finite flume]

Tsuya and Lyon are the best

[fickle tree]

I took a break after E8S

[jade quartz]

Almost everything, primary limitations being not joining FCs, buying a house or selling on the marketboard/ using retainers

[dire prawn]

World Visits are only limited in that you can't join a FC on another world or buy housing

And the retainer thing

[finite flume]

Imagine if you could buy housing

Would be a nightmare

[dire prawn]

Oh

[jade quartz]

You can do quests and participate in open-world content, buy from the marketboard, trade, chat etc

[dire prawn]

You also can't use Delivery Moogles on other Worlds

[jade quartz]

That’s true but I wouldn’t call that a big deal

[finite flume]

Can you make friends in other worlds

[jade quartz]

Ffxiv is really nice

[dire prawn]

They're saved to the cloud on your friend list

Yes it is

[gusty island]

Oh just read about the overleveling.. I'm definitely overleveled a fair bit for MSQ

Maybe I should stop queueing for dungeons so often 😂

[dire prawn]

Definitely keep queueing for dungeons

You can slow down once you hit 50 though

[leaden stirrup]

level a second job

[dire prawn]

Yes

[jade quartz]

If being overleveled/wasting exp bothers you, you could try picking up a second job yeah

[leaden stirrup]

maybe three

[dire prawn]

Don't try to level three on a not preferred world but you can definitely do two at once

[solemn sleet]

What should I be focusing on content wise from 50-60?

[dire prawn]

MSQ

Otherwise, leveling dungeons

[leaden stirrup]

there are some unique role-related quests in Shadow Bringers that are quite fun, so do it eventually do you can experience them.

[nocturne trout]

hi, im new to this game, i just finished ARR and im trying to grind tomestone of poetics for ironworks gear, what is the best way to get it?

[wet grotto]

Planning on soloing the primals ex for the mounts, what ilvl is recommended? I'm BLM if it helps

[gusty island]

I want to get through the MSQ and hit max on a job first
I have a tendency to waste a looooooooooot of time with activities that are kind of pointless (like way overthinking the way I'm gearing my DoH/DoLs instead of playing the game 😂 And the DoHs aren't even level 15 yet), so I'm trying to cut down a little on that sort of stuff at least

[leaden stirrup]

roulette every day, hunts, beast tribe quests

[dire prawn]

MSQ Roulette, Alliance Raid Roulette, 50/60/70 Dungeons Roulette, then farm LotA or Syrcus

[nocturne trout]

i looked at my roulette i only have 2

how do i unlock more

[dire prawn]

ARR EX trials? You can probably do them in i400 Scaevan

[grim plover]

someone said u can hide the shield on gladiator but i cant find it. anyone know?

[dire prawn]

[jade quartz]

There’s an invisible shield item you can use as glamour to achieve this

Do set optional outfit ever go on sale? Like the $18 ones. Liking the Reishi set and School set.

[nocturne trout]

ah okay. once i finsihed them, it will be available as duty roulette?

[dire prawn]

No

[grim plover]

is that applied to a specific shield or the shield slot?

[jade quartz]

They do but we can’t really predict when

[dire prawn]

You have Daily Leveling Roulette and MSQ Roulette right?

[jade quartz]

Specific shield or use the glamour dresser

[primal relic]

Thanks

[grim plover]

whats the dresser?

[nocturne trout]

yea i have the lvl 16 leveling roulette and main scenario roulette

[jade quartz]

Lets you set up “glamour plates” which are preset outfits which you can automatically apply to gear sets

[nocturne trout]

and i've done the main scenario one. does it reset everyday?

!faq glamourdresser

[zinc orbit]

Glamour Dresser FAQ

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"

The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.

"How do I use it?"

In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".

When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

[dire prawn]

Go to Mor Dhona, and next to the Aetheryte is a called 'Legacy of Allag'

[jade quartz]

You can find glamour dressers in inn rooms in any city

[dire prawn]

Do that entire quest chain until you complete 'A Light of Hope'

[nocturne trout]

ah okay

[dire prawn]

You'll have completed one of two requirements to finish ARR, gotten 450 poetics and unlocked Alliance Raid Roulette

By the end

[nocturne trout]

okay, got it

[dire prawn]

Also, return to the Waking Sands and take the 'A Recurring Problem' from Minfilia

This starts the quest chain to unlock the Hard and then Extreme versions of Ifrit, Titan and Garuda

You have to complete the Hard trials to progress the post-ARR MSQ past a certain point

Besides that just pick up any you see as you progress and most of them are going to be Lv 50 Hard dungeon unlocks, which gives more poetics for first time bonus and also unlocks the 50/60/70 Dungeons Roulette, which gives poetics as a bonus reward

[nocturne trout]

ah okay got it

so i should do any bluequests

[dire prawn]

Yes

[nocturne trout]

got it, thanks for the help.

[exotic vessel]

what do i had to do to get my first mount?

[quaint brook]

Join a grand company and a sidequest opens up

[jade quartz]

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

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.

[exotic vessel]

zador sync to ilv430 too?

[void venture]

i just bought 30 more days of sub in mogstation and it still show one day

do i need need to wait abit?

[gusty island]

Is there a simple guide to gear your Land/Hand classes while leveling? (As in, I don't have a max level main/combat job yet either. Still playing through ARR in fact!)

I want to keep up with the GC supplies but I have a really hard time figuring out at what levels to get certain upgrades (that I'll have to craft myself due to being a trial account).
Things are cluttered all over and I'm spending a lot more time trying to make sense of it than playing 😦

[jade quartz]

Do leves

[slim mango]

generally you can just buy equipment from vendors in main hubs

[gusty island]

They give gear? :0

[jade quartz]

Upgrade when recipes start giving you trouble to HQ

Yeah vendor equipment is ok to get by on when leveling crafters

[slim mango]

especially lower levels

[gusty island]

Oh that's awesome! Is there a progression guide or something?

[lime grail]

So do I unlock mounts and glamour along the main quest story line?

i googled it and glamours extremely confusing and i know its possible to get mounts other than the chocobo's but idk how

[jade quartz]

It’s all kinda self explanatory tbh

[gusty island]

there's someone near the waking sands that gives you the quest for glamour stuff

[jade quartz]

You see new gear become available in your crafting log etc.

To level up to 15 or 20 you can just craft each recipe in your log once and get the first time craft exp bonus

[lime grail]

is it like.. in the main story line or do i have to go out of my way to find out how to get there / do it

im lvl 17

[jade quartz]

Then start doing leves

It’s not in the main storyline but it’s right at a main story hub

[gusty island]

have to get out of your way, its one of those quests with a blue exclamation mark and a + sign

[jade quartz]

As a general role just do blue quests you see

[gusty island]

but yeah its close to an area youll go to a fair amount of times

[jade quartz]

They unlock features and content

[lime grail]

like where the heart is (the lavender beds) ?

is that for housing?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[lime grail]

alright. how do i access the glamour quest.

can i do that rn at lvl 17

[jade quartz]

You’ve been told a few times

Pick up the quest in Vesper Bay. MSQ takes you there around your level.

[lime grail]

alright

[jade quartz]

Be sure to keep up to date on MSQ

[slow isle]

So the helmet gaius and crew wears isn’t a player worn item right

[jade quartz]

no

[spiral inlet]

does weakness hinder the power of LBs?

[wraith jay]

Don't think so

[jade quartz]

No

[wraith jay]

The balance recommends people who are weakened to use LB

[jade quartz]

LB damage is determined by average party weapon damage stat

and enemy defense statuses

[celest inlet]

I have an alt steam account where I bought ffxiv on steam it's in my library now and I didn't redeem the code ,am I able to give this to my friend to redeem ? does he still have to buy the game?

[dire prawn]

If you haven't used the code your friend can use it and no he won't because the code activates the license

[gusty island]

Is there a quick way to check if I've done a jobs class quest without actually going there and seeing if one's available?
I know I have one on two crafters but I can't remember which because I was tired and forgot to note it down

[obsidian patio]

Journal > completed quests

And then the section with all the class and job quests

[gusty island]

Oh wow, that's awesome

Thank you

[dire prawn]

Is there a way to obtain the Emperor's gear

[obsidian patio]

Market board or level up a crafting class to 15

[jade quartz]

Buy it from the glamour merchants in Mor Dhona or Vesper Bay after completing the quest that lets you craft glam prisms (requires level 15 crafter)

[obsidian patio]

If you mean the invisible items

[jade quartz]

or just marketboard

[gusty island]

Coming back to this:
What's considered "giving you trouble to HQ"?
That is, what's the minimum % threshold at which I should look for upgrades?

[jade quartz]

when you're having difficulty HQing.

And can't consistently HQ.

[gusty island]

So anything below 100%, really?

[jade quartz]

yes

[gusty island]

Gotcha, thanks

[light lion]

Where do you find the merchant for lvl 60 poetics?

[patent citrus]

either in idyllshire shop area or foundation close to the aetheryte plaza

Idyllshire ( 5.8 , 5.3 ) based on the flag in game

Foundation ( 10.5 , 11.8 )

[light lion]

Weird I’m at foundation plaza rn at those coordinates but no vendor

[patent citrus]

then you haven't finished HW yet

[dire prawn]

Have you made it to Idyllshire?

[patent citrus]

those blue bag vendor only appears when you finished the expansion

[edgy sail]

Do weekly tomes normally get uncapped when savage does?

[light lion]

Oh

[patent citrus]

otherwise, you have to opt for the idyllshire

[dire prawn]

Yeah

Heavensward lets you buy Shire gear at 58 MSQ when you travel to Idyllshire

[light lion]

Ok idyllshire it is

[dire prawn]

And when you finish 3.0 the Rowena's Representative spawns at the bottom of the stairs to the right of the Foundation Aetheryte

[proper bolt]

Can someone give some some endgame gear advice?

Finished all ShB MSQ and now grinding for gear but confused where to start. I’m level 510 atm but I see gears can get to 535. But I don’t have Edens Savage Eternity the last Sav I have is Refulgence

[patent citrus]

which class?

[proper bolt]

WHM

[edgy sail]

Doesn't make a difference for gearing

[patent citrus]

let me grab the reference from the balance discord

[unreal aspen]

is there some sort of bug for the second boss fight for the ala mhigo dungeon?

[edgy sail]

First thing you can do is the exarchic gear augmentation, it's quite cheap and gets you ilvl 520 gear

[unreal aspen]

when the boss casts the ability that knocks you out of your body, my game doesn't seem to work right?

[edgy sail]

Next is with zadnor, you can get ilvl 525 armor from the zadnor dungeon

[patent citrus]

so melding priority is Crit > Det / DH

[unreal aspen]

i get the out of the count debuff (or whatever the thing that stops you from moving is) for the entirety of the mech until i die

like for the past two runs, i cant move more than an inch, because im out of the count basically every time i try moving

and ive run the dungeon a lot in the past and i definitely do not remember it being like this

[patent citrus]

https://etro.gg/gearset/69fe1d37-dd62-4dee-9971-a7a6632d1eb6 use this tool to miss and match your gear

[proper bolt]

you are speaking a whole difference. How do I even start augmenting stuff?

@patent citrus I see you in mentor chat ❤️

[twilit arch]

there's a pinned comment here that goes over how to augmented exarchic

[edgy sail]

Yeah, you need some of the uncapped tomestone, allegory I think, the icon is light blue for the one I mean

Then you just need any exarchic armor to convert into a currency that lets you buy the items

[leaden ginkgo]

whos the fastest job farmer for fates

[patent citrus]

I reckon machinist and blue mage

[leaden ginkgo]

is it worth leveling blue mage for that ?

[patent citrus]

just for fate leveling?

I don't think so..

[leaden ginkgo]

i didn't unlock it yet

[patent citrus]

leveling it is easy if you finished MSQ

grab a partner and level together at the loch and kholusia beach

but I wouldn't recommend it if you just want to level it just to farm FATE

[leaden ginkgo]

👍 thanks buddy

ima go with mch

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[junior tide]

It's not a glam question

It's a graphic settings one 😆

I'm blind and cant find the setting

[quasi mulch]

Hey, how exactly does the aggro system in FFXIV work? Assuming both tanks use the stance, do you get aggro if you deal more damage than the other tank ?

[south kestrel]

Is it possible if I buy bronze/silver/gold triad cards to get duplicates?

[honest anvil]

yes

assuming you both have stances on from the very start though

any later and things won't be as simple

[quasi mulch]

What do you mean by things wont be as simple?

Lets assume no one uses provoke or any other skills that regenerate more aggro.

[honest anvil]

stance gives an insane amount of aggro

so say one tank turns on at start, the other turns on after their opener

[quasi mulch]

Nah both turn it on at the same time and also engage the boss at the same time

[honest anvil]

the one that turns on at start literally has to do no dmg for a gooood while to not be most aggro

[honest anvil]

then ye, it's as simple as whoever does more dmg gets more aggro

[quasi mulch]

And if a Tank has worse gear than you, can I be certain that he uses provoke ?

[slim mango]

Is doindg the level 80Collectibles the only spammable way to get scrips?

[honest anvil]

there's also custom deli

[proud willow]

No, not at all

[honest anvil]

12 times but guud scrips

[quasi mulch]

Because of how the scaling works?

[slim mango]

ah yes but i'm not quite up to that point yet

[proud willow]

You can deal more damage without having better gear

[quasi mulch]

Ahh alrighty, thought it was gear dependant X)

[honest anvil]

are you concerned about tank swapping?

cause counting on randoms in df to know how or when to swap is not a good idea at all

[quasi mulch]

Im just trying to understand why my friend always seem to lose aggro when we play lets say Trials or the MSQ daily.

[proud willow]

If it's not level 80, there's no guarantee that tanks are balanced at that level

they get abilities at different levels

[quasi mulch]

So the other tank is either dealing more damage or uses skills that give him more aggro, yeah?

[proud willow]

yes

In any case, whoever currently does not have aggro is supposed to Shirk or turn their stance off, so that there isn't a fight over top spot

[slim mango]

the white scrip gear III is better htan II right?

why is the II version there?

handsaint's vs professional

[leaden ginkgo]

hello um the last windows update did something to my game

and now it says unable to complete version check

[patent citrus]

hmm you are not suppose to fight for aggro, for daily normal stuff just let one tank have tank stance on

I don't think tank swapping is necessary in those content

[quasi mulch]

Yeah I know, I was just wondering how the system works x)

[hoary wadi]

is it possible to cancel an attack if i hit a gcd and a ogcd too close together/simultaneously

So do I NEED to learn filters as a controller healer? Like I got the basics, left and right on dpad targets enemies while up and down targets party members.... It's hard for me to keep track of literally everything else without focusing on what filter does what, which is why i'm asking. Or can I just cheese it and aoe heal everyone outside of my party?

[devout crystal]

What is the best way to farm ventures? Just buy it with Company seals??

[proper bolt]

I’m a WHM and never used a filter

[shut panther]

Imo, yes. I always have way more company seals than I'll ever use.

[devout crystal]

Ok

[leaden ginkgo]

@proper bolt That's actually what i'm leveling, so aoe heal cheese is real in alliance raids and story instances?

[shut panther]

If you greed items in dungeon, you'll probably too

[proud willow]

you can't AOE heal anyone except party members

[shut panther]

The reality of FFXIV healing is you really don't need to do much

A single AOE heal will cover pretty much every non mechanics failure until Savage content

[leaden ginkgo]

So if I did savage content, i'd NEED to learn filters?

[shut panther]

No, probably not.

Spot healing is incredibly rare beyond the tanks

[proper bolt]

What he said

Which you won’t need to anyways so don’t worry

You only wanna care for your party

[leaden ginkgo]

Good, was just worried i'd have to adapt to something i wasn't really comfortable with, but obviously that doesn't need to be the case

[shut panther]

Basically, 99% of the heals you cast will be AOE or directed at a tank

[proper bolt]

^100%

Medica 2 will be your BFF

[shut panther]

You might need to spot heal mechanics failures

[proper bolt]

I’m a PS5 player and trust me I have dreams/nightmares about that button

[shut panther]

But take heart in the fact if people die as a result of you forgetting how the UI works it's still on them in that case

[proper bolt]

@leaden ginkgo console or PC player?

[leaden ginkgo]

@proper bolt PC, because I like to lay down while playing due to back issues

[patent citrus]

is that the other way around?

[proper bolt]

The party HUD is helpful, just scroll up and down until u find the one that needs healing. Stressful in later game game content when multiple players get high dmg at once but super fun

[patent citrus]

oh nvm you can plug pad to PC as well

[shut panther]

I assume you dropped "with a controller"

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah was confused by what you meant 😛 .

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, but I play with gamepad because of my back. Which is the case with most of my PC games

[proper bolt]

I love controller too. No shame in that at all

[patent citrus]

console market is bigger than PC in JP, so you would expect the controller user is more prioritised hehe

[proper bolt]

Yeah I remember when I was in Japan I rarely saw much PC advertised gaming 90% PS4/5

[shut panther]

Honestly, I think it's getting less true as time goes on

Not because PC gaming is growing here or anything, but because consoles are kind of dying

Ps5 is unlikely to sell what the PS4 did here I feel, and that was already a steady drop

[patent citrus]

you live in Jp? @shut panther

[shut panther]

I do

Should say though, the switch is doing juuuust five

[barren granite]

n intendo is the big dawg in jp ?

[craggy solar]

Noob question, how do I use the mount ability?

[patent citrus]

PS is also Sony, both Nintendo and Sony are JP

[shut panther]

it's ot, so I'll leave it at this, but handheld/mobile > console here

[south kestrel]

you can open up the mount guide by clicking on Character > Mount Guide, and then drag the ability to your hotbar

[craggy solar]

Thank you!

[shut panther]

assuming of course you've done the chocobo quest and used the item you receive

[urban stone]

Hi all, never play FF14 before so have zero knowledge. thinking of trying it and was wondering if there's anything I should make full use of in the free trial before subscribing to the game in the future? Is it that the trial ends once we start our subscription to the game?

[faint flare]

Yes

Once you buy and register the code you're permanently out of the trial

[urban stone]

Ok so I guess min-maxing the free trial is probably a good idea XD

[shut panther]

the free trial has some annoying restrictions, beyond not being the full game, that might make you decide to buy it before you minmax it

but yeah, definitely play a bunch of the trial before you bother spending the money

[leaden ginkgo]

hey, can I show multiple times above my mini map ? I would like to have eorzea time and local time

[faint flare]

Yes, turn them on in character configuration, in ui and hud

[shut panther]

two, I think?

[urban stone]

Ok and another question, I was wondering if I should trial on a "test" account/email before making an actual account that I will actuallyuse, i.e. is there anything in the game that is not reversible or will regret or this isn't really of a concern? (Excluding that free trial part which I already asked heh)

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thx

[faint flare]

All 3 of them

[shut panther]

you definitely do not want to trial on a separate account

you'll want to continue into retail with the same account, 100%

[patent citrus]

just gotta decide which platform do you want to play it on Steam/PC or Console

no need to make "Test" account

depends on where you live, you have to choose the correct region as well

[urban stone]

Hmm ok, so no benefits to trial on seperate account. Got it.

Is there any difference between Playing FF14 with Steam and without Steam(Not sure if that is possible)
I don't have console so that is not a factor.

As for region I kind of read up some info on the reddit already so I have an idea which one to choose 🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

who do i speak to to purchase land in the lavernder beds

[faint flare]

Steam permanently locks you to it in regards of buying expansions

[leaden ginkgo]

or just anywhere in general

[faint flare]

The placard

Of an open plot

[leaden ginkgo]

o okay do u guys recommend an apartment for now?

[faint flare]

Yes cause getting a actual house is a pipe dream

[patent citrus]

yeah definitely so you can chuck those indoor items that you have from event and quests

[leaden ginkgo]

damn u gotta go to a placard of an open plot what does that even show up as lol

[patent citrus]

it frees up your inventory, and it's kinda good way to start your decorating journey

[faint flare]

A hammer on the map

Like an auction gavel

And the price of the plot is shown in the ward list

[urban stone]

Do you mean as in I have to buy the expansion directly(Or in the form of Steam Key) on steam instead of somewhere else(e.g. box copy or direct from the website or something?)

[faint flare]

If you buy on steam you MUST use steam and buy all expansions from steam

[leaden ginkgo]

@patent citrus ty im gonna do that!

[faint flare]

You can't use anyone else

[urban stone]

Ok so it sounds like using steam doesn't have much benefits, considering I have checked there isn't much sales for the game on steam base on the history(From some steam game price history websites I looked)

Somemore if I use another computer i need my steam account on the other computer also

Anyway thank you Vinyl Tails really appreciate all the info and answers! 🙂

Thank you Ropter for your earlier answer too 🙂

[queen topaz]

hello i have a problem, i bought the job skip… and now im a lv73 DRG and hve a big big problem.. i want the dragonlancer armor that you get from a drg job quest coffer. my question is: can i still get the armor smh???? pls

[obsidian patio]

Yes.

[leaden ginkgo]

should i live in shiroganee or lavender beds 👀

[faint flare]

Lv60 job gear is via Centurio seals in the Forgotten Knight

[obsidian patio]

You need to rank up to 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand company and do the quest “Let the Hunt Begin” and then do the follow up quests in Ishgard to unlock clan Centurio hunts to get the currency needed for the set

[barren granite]

job skip ?

[queen topaz]

ahhhh okiii

[obsidian patio]

It’s an item from the mogstation that automatically levels up a given job to level 70, giving you a set of gear, 500k Gil in items, and completing all their job quests for you.

$25 per job, and does not include the newest jobs (Gunbreaker/Dancer)

[leaden ginkgo]

can a murder become a dark knight ?

[faint flare]

Yes

You can be all jobs

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks

[barren granite]

hmm neat

[harsh torrent]

how does potency multiply off my stats?

[faint flare]

Through a long complex forumla

[harsh torrent]

t-tl;dr???

[faint flare]

There is no tldr

It's MATHS

Potency is there for the sole purpose of you not needing to know said forumlas to know how strong a skill is vs another

[harsh torrent]

lmao

thats fair enough

while im at it tho, Berserk seems to be warrios main insane damage buff

[faint flare]

Cause it is

[harsh torrent]

best used before the big damaging attacks right?

[faint flare]

Berserk is weird prior to inner release cause it doesn't reduce gauge costs

[harsh torrent]

ive been following a loose rotation off the miliard of "Level 80 only" rotatiosn floating around

[faint flare]

I think like you want full gauge and 2 Infuriates for it at least

To get 4 Ibs under it

[leaden ginkgo]

btw is it worthed to materia meld scavaneian gear once you finish SB and leveling toward ShB?
or dont use it until i get exarchic ?

[harsh torrent]

mhm

[barren granite]

after augmrented gear, is the tome of poetics used for anything else ?

[verbal forge]

hi hi guys

for the book part from atma weapon

[gusty island]

What kind of food should I prioritize when crafting HQ items?
Control?

[verbal forge]

can i do every dungeon unsync'd?

[faint flare]

Yes

[gusty island]

Is that a yes to both of us?

[faint flare]

Crafter food usually is Cp+ whatever stat you need more of

Without CP you can't use your stats

[proud willow]

Dungeons from the current expansion (Shadowbringers, right now) can't be unsynced

[obsidian patio]

Unsync can be done for all content that is not an ultimate or from the current expansion.

And also Guildhests… for some reason…

[faint flare]

They're unsyncing atma

[leaden ginkgo]

does it matter what ward u live in for housing

[obsidian patio]

No.

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

ok theyre all the same right

[upper flame]

newbie question qwq, is there a way to tab target to nearest?

or a button to select nearest enemy

[obsidian patio]

Exact same, just different neighbors

[leaden ginkgo]

lol i just want an aptment but im wondering if i wanna be on closer to the first pages on the apt list or it doesnt even fkin matter i guess. being in a place with more people is fun

[faint flare]

Doesn't matter

[leaden ginkgo]

❤️ ty

[verbal forge]

Oh what i mean is for Atma weapon book grind can i do the dungeons unsync'd?

[honest anvil]

Yes

[verbal forge]

oh

so books is ez part but long as fuck

they nerfed the count

it went from 10 to 3

so 300 specific monster kills, 30 dungeons , 30 fates

30 guild leves

[honest anvil]

For those reasons, i wouldn’t power grind ....

i just keep the quest active then let roulette take the wheels

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[unkempt hull]

what's an efficient way to level an alt job in the 20-50 range while waiting for dungeon queues?

leves? Beast tribe quests? Hunt?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi guys

Tonberry is full

Can I join tonberry next time

[faint flare]

When people are offline it will be ope

[leaden ginkgo]

Can I join tonberry when I create character in other world

[faint flare]

You can visit tonberry freely if you make on another server within the same Data centre

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok

Is the player customisation limited in free trial

[faint flare]

No

[south kestrel]

I did the sastasha dungeon 2 times now in order to collect the triple triad card on the first page of the collection book, yet I havent gotten it so far. It says the rarity is just common. Am I doing something wrong?

[faint flare]

Rng is rng

[leaden ginkgo]

Elf boys looking like femboys in this game

Also why no vocal when talking

[faint flare]

The players don't really have much of a voicd

[boreal storm]

Voices are for real important scenes

[proper bolt]

Wait Materia… WHM.

Crit-determination-piety?
Crit first? Aka savage aim

[faint flare]

Basically

[obsidian patio]

Piety to comfortable amount > spell speed to preferred GCD > Crit > Determination/Direct Hit

[proud willow]

Many cards that drop from dungeons/trials can also be won from an NPC. You can get that card beating from Baderon and it'll probably be faster than grinding Sastasha

[proper bolt]

Upgrading to augmented exar and forgot all about materia

[woven kite]

Hey, I'm a level 34 Archer and I'm trying to become a Bard? I got to lvl 30 and completed all of the archer guild missions up to my lvl now. What am I missing?

[proper bolt]

I’d argue spell speed = bad. More spells = chewing through mana bad bad bad

[obsidian patio]

full augmented exarchic should already give a ton of piety so that can be ignored.

I think WHM/SCH want around 2.4-ish GCD for opener purposes.

Nah you're a white mage

[faint flare]

Story progress

[obsidian patio]

you got near-infinite MP unless people constantly die

[south kestrel]

Wow, how did you know he gave it? On the page of the card it only tells about sastasha and sastasha hard

[obsidian patio]

it doesn't list all sources

[woven kite]

@faint flare I've gotten through the story mode part to where I should of unlocked the bard stuff now I don't know how to become one lol

[south kestrel]

I meant the wiki page

[obsidian patio]

it still doesn't list all sources.

https://triad.raelys.com/cards

[woven kite]

Like do I have to register somewhere?

[obsidian patio]

this is the most up to date tracker for cards

[faint flare]

If you passed slyph management then your job quest will show under the main scenario tracker

[south kestrel]

Oh I'll be needing that :3 Thank you!

[obsidian patio]

consolegameswiki can be pretty outdated on some pages, so take most of it with a grain of salt

[leaden ginkgo]

When will sales begin again

[obsidian patio]

gamerescape is usually the more up to date one.

@leaden ginkgo unknown

don't expect a non-steam one for at least 2 months IMO

[leaden ginkgo]

Estimated time?

[woven kite]

@faint flare All I'm seeing is "My Little Chocobo (Twin Adder)" under main scenario

[faint flare]

Do it

[obsidian patio]

Again, unknown. I'm just making guesses.

[faint flare]

That's mounts

You kinda want/need that

[woven kite]

Ah, okay thank you!

[warm snow]

See above about unknown. We're not affiliated with squenix or steam how tf are we supposed to know

[leaden ginkgo]

[leaden ginkgo]

[warm snow]

[ionic linden]

all the specials, how do u get them

[warm snow]

Quick ventures

Market board or dolla dolla bills

[ionic linden]

[warm snow]

Some can be bought with sky builder scrips but only like 3

[ionic linden]

ah k tnx!

[obsidian patio]

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks

It's pretty often then

[woven kite]

I'm doing the mission about chocobo's but it says Present a Serpent Chocobo Issuance to Cingur

but idk how to obtain that.

[obsidian patio]

buy it from the grand company quartermaster

[faint flare]

The quartermaster at the HQ

[wispy finch]

hello does anyone know where to buy metallic blue dye or how to make one

[obsidian patio]

marketboard, rarely from quick ventures, or mogstation.

[wispy finch]

im not gonna activate my full game till i reach 60

i just checked the seller in gridania, there isnt any

[obsidian patio]

to note General-Purpose Metallic Blue is the tradable version from the marketboard and given from venture coffers, while the Metallic Blue is the mogstation one.

[warm snow]

!faq mount

[zinc orbit]

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.

[obsidian patio]

Trial players can buy some items from the mogstation, dyes might be one of them

[wispy finch]

okay i see

GP blue is what I need

[woven kite]

Where exactly would the HQ be?😅 😰

Such a newbie

[wispy finch]

which one did u choose

[obsidian patio]

Its where you got the quest

[wispy finch]

serpent, flame or

i forgot the third

serpent is in gridanie

[faint flare]

Adders

Flamrs

And maelstorm

[south kestrel]

@obsidian patio is there a way to see cards based on their card id on that site you linked me?

[obsidian patio]

cingur is new gridania, therefor adders, which is west of the main aetheryte aetheryte.

[obsidian patio]

My Cards > Select Your Cards

That shows all the cards as if you were looking at them in-game

in terms of adding to your collection

[leaden ginkgo]

So I'm trying to finish some old raids but I'm not sure if people do them synced or unsynced. What do most people do for Sigmascape and Eyes of the Father?

[woven kite]

I went went and see the guy who I'm doing the mission for. But hes only renting chocobos and doing something called chocobo porter

[obsidian patio]

as for finding where they come from, the order of the cards is pretty chronological so start at the bottom of the giant list of cards in "My Cards" or "All Cards"

[warm snow]

The savages?

[leaden ginkgo]

normals

[warm snow]

Cuz you can just queue for the normal versions on duty finder

[south kestrel]

Ah yes thanks, this helps me to find their sources besides buying all those random drops at the mgs

[leaden ginkgo]

I just want to get the OMG pet before the Moogle event ends

[warm snow]

Unless it's the binding coils of bahamut or a savage you can just use duty finder

[leaden ginkgo]

cool thanks, but isn't unsynced faster?

[obsidian patio]

Did you find the NPC that sells you the Issuance?

[warm snow]

Well yeah, but they're still easy synced

[woven kite]

Not yet :(

[leaden ginkgo]

oh cool didn't know that

[warm snow]

And you won't get moogle tomes if you unsync

[leaden ginkgo]

thought they were harder synced

I don't care about tomes, the pet is the last thing I want

[obsidian patio]

x10, y11

[warm snow]

Anything that's not a savage, the coils or an extreme is casual content

[leaden ginkgo]

I just need the achievement to get the pet

[warm snow]

Or ultimates but that's a given

[warm snow]

Omg isn't an achievement drop, it drops from alphascape 4.0 normal and savage and you roll for it like normal loot

[leaden ginkgo]

OMG is only available through the moogle event after you get the achievement

[faint flare]

Just get it dropped

In alphascape

[boreal storm]

But you can just farm for it too

[faint flare]

It's not exclusive to tomes

[warm snow]

It's not worth buying with the tomes since it's a guaranteed drop

[leaden ginkgo]

drop vs guaranteed item

[faint flare]

It's guaranteed every run

[warm snow]

Guaranteed drop

[leaden ginkgo]

I cleared alphascape and I never got it

[wispy finch]

Hello, does anyone know how to get/buy/craft glamour prisms. I checked the net and I can't go to Norvandt yet

[leaden ginkgo]

if you have to roll for it then it's not guaranteed

[faint flare]

It always drops from O12

[boreal storm]

Yeah it is

[crystal bluff]

Grand company, marketboard

Cause that's where the achievement is

To.let it appear in the shop

[boreal storm]

Because you can easily reach that point

[warm snow]

I cleared alphascape and I never got it

I'm still on sigma

@Dreamer#7747 pick one

[stable hinge]

Is it necessary to write it out that many times 😓

[leaden ginkgo]

I thought alpha was the first one

[faint flare]

Yes

That's delta

Delta, sigma then alphsa

[stable hinge]

I think I tried that before with 1 line it didnt do shit, thats probably why

[faint flare]

Macros don't que

So writing out multiple times tries to simulate that que

[leaden ginkgo]

why dos it even go in reverse?

it should be alpha, sigma, delta

[boreal storm]

This is why we say O[number] instead of the scapes

Actually I should glamour the dumb looking graduation cap as well before getting rid of the glasses

[leaden ginkgo]

i have the mats but dont know what to make

[astral bolt]

Thanks

[heavy wadi]

Just… make your main job’s weapon? idk what to say, that’s a very subjective question

[leaden ginkgo]

sch book suck

[heavy wadi]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to check the weapon ingame

in their shiny stages

[modest igloo]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

👍 great

[boreal storm]

if someone else has the weapon sure

[patent citrus]

I usually just use badwofly video

he has compilation of relic from ARR->SB

[gritty oracle]

Ask someone to link it, then right click -> try on

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks for the help

[idle spoke]

through youtube videos, there are tons of videos of relic weapons

[patent citrus]

oh i misread, in-game

[grave plover]

!faqmrd

whats the abbreveation for marauder

!faq mrdleveling

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named mrdleveling exists, Kupo!

[leaden ginkgo]

why are eu subs more expensive than NA

[heavy wadi]

they’re not

currency exchange rate

[boreal storm]

because euros

[grave plover]

Whats the marauders rotation

[heavy wadi]

marauder only exists for the first 30 levels so I’m a bit confused as to what you’re asking

[grave plover]

whats after marauder?

[boreal storm]

Warrior

[heavy wadi]

marauder becomes warrior

[grave plover]

and the answer is pretty much always Wesk Alber https://youtu.be/UDUzsguKt-I

[leaden ginkgo]

Yo I'm a level 63 ninja and just started the class quest Ninja bathin redux, it says I have to go to Kugane

how do I get there

[boreal storm]

stormblood

[heavy wadi]

need to progress msq

[leaden ginkgo]

oh, so I can accept the class quest but cant get there yet?

[heavy wadi]

what level is your msq?

[leaden ginkgo]

61

[heavy wadi]

you should get there soonish

[boreal storm]

that's stormblood

[heavy wadi]

it’s like, right after the first dungeon in stormblood

[faint flare]

It's after the dungeon

[leaden ginkgo]

oh alright

kinda strange it lets me accept the class quest if I can't get there yet

[grave plover]

just looking for a rotation lel

[heavy wadi]

and I gave you one

vid goes over your rotation at every level with each new skill

[warm snow]

EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

[west spruce]

which frag give lost protect 2

[heavy wadi]

desperation, from zadnor

[west spruce]

ty

[tiny crag]

Thanks! I'll check the market then. I don't have any Housing to do gardening, way too expensive. lol

[idle spoke]

because some of the european countries are charged with british sterling for a reason, that might be the reason for you too

it makes no sense but it is how it is

so when you go to payment it automatically converts pounds into euro and for example if it was 9 sterlings it goes up to 10.49 euros

[grizzled jetty]

what website has a list of all the FFXIV mounts with pics of each one?

[remote lintel]

with pictures, none

[gritty oracle]

There's a list without pictures (icons only) on ffxivcollect, could Google each individually that catches your eye

[remote lintel]

https://ffxivcollect.com/mounts

that's a long link

[leaden ginkgo]

Highest height Roe male
Any problem in cutscenes?

Cropping

[heavy wadi]

no

angles are generally wide enough

and iirc camera adjusts to your height

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah nice

[gritty oracle]

Some NPCs may break their neck while looking at your face

[heavy wadi]

^

[leaden ginkgo]

how long is too long to be in the queue?

[remote lintel]

for what

[gritty oracle]

I'd give up at an hour plus

[leaden ginkgo]

Sigma 3.0 and Eyes of the Creator

because since I asked last

[remote lintel]

normal? savage?

[leaden ginkgo]

I've only been able to clear Sigma 2.0

normal

[heavy wadi]

it’s 10am

[leaden ginkgo]

and I've been waiting since

and?

[remote lintel]

what vie said

10 am is not peak hours

[heavy wadi]

no one is on

[remote lintel]

west coast is sleeping

[leaden ginkgo]

Uldah is full

[heavy wadi]

doesn’t matter

[leaden ginkgo]

people are on

when are peak hours?

[heavy wadi]

they’re not

[remote lintel]

uldah doesnt represent the entire population

[heavy wadi]

like 3-4pm est

and later

[leaden ginkgo]

for every server?

[heavy wadi]

for crystal.

[remote lintel]

yes

[heavy wadi]

crystal is NA

[remote lintel]

evening/night

[leaden ginkgo]

are peak hours posted somewhere?

[heavy wadi]

no

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

Only balmung do people gather in uldah

[heavy wadi]

it’s not an official thing

[leaden ginkgo]

so how do you know those are the peak hours?

okay so you're making it up

[remote lintel]

because people are off work?

dude

[faint flare]

Cause it's when people finish work

[heavy wadi]

we’re not making it up

it’s just common sense

[remote lintel]

^^^^

[leaden ginkgo]

"common sense"

back it up with data and not common sense

[heavy wadi]

people sleep in on saturday.

[remote lintel]

okay

it's 10 am est

7 am pt

[heavy wadi]

#rants is that way, this is not the place to argue.

[leaden ginkgo]

link to data

[remote lintel]

at these hours people are at work

[gritty oracle]

Peak hours is typically 5-6pm and on at that server's time

[heavy wadi]

We gave you an answer.

[remote lintel]

so people won't be online

at evening

people are off work

so they will be online

you can see the population of cities for yourself at both these times

[faint flare]

And just Google the average work times

Anyone in the working world knows thos

[heavy wadi]

Not to mention omega is old content as well, so there’s just fewer people directly queuing for it even outside of the fact that it’s not peak hours.

[remote lintel]

there's a reason jobs are often called a "9 to 5"

[gritty oracle]

If mechanics or downtime mess with my pld rotation, should I try to stick to my 63s loop by shaving atonement casts off the end, or delay my loop by using all 3 atonements?

[leaden ginkgo]

"Google it" and "It's common sense"....I'll wait for a PM with links to stats or official SE documentation about when peak times are, thanks cheers

[remote lintel]

then keep waiting in queue lmao

SE doesn't release numbers of their servers

[heavy wadi]

keep wasting your time in queue then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

we gave you an answer, whether you like the response you got or not. That’s just how it is.

And yes, it is just common sense.

[lilac thicket]

is there some kind of "do not disturb" or "busy" command i can input in chat to not get whispers?

[heavy wadi]

/busy

it’ll go away when you go into an instance

but just type it again to put it back on

[desert kettle]

I played a long time ago a little and now I'm trying to get back into it but from Steam and I'm getting this. Anyone can help?

[warm snow]

Your sub has expired

!faq mogststion

[desert kettle]

Isn't the game free now?

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named mogststion exists, Kupo!

[heavy wadi]

still need to pay a sub if you’re on steam

[warm snow]

No

[faint flare]

No its not

[heavy wadi]

no it’s not

[untold vine]

Do ninja uss Dex or Str ? It says Dex is for ranged attack and rogue arms tho so im confused

[warm snow]

There's a better free trial

[faint flare]

Dex

[honest anvil]

is there a limit cut simulator out there? >.>

[desert kettle]

ohh I guess I was misinformed

[remote lintel]

ninja uses dex

[warm snow]

But if you had an account previously you can't go back to free trial

[heavy wadi]

There’s an improved free trial, but once you pay for the game you can’t access it.

[faint flare]

There's a VERY important difference between Free to play and a free TRIAL

Extremely important

[desert kettle]

That's... strange

[heavy wadi]

Not really

[faint flare]

You own the game

[heavy wadi]

it’s a trial, not f2p

[remote lintel]

it's pretty common for games

[faint flare]

You're not a trial account

It's very simple

[desert kettle]

Why not do like WoW that you can at least get to character slect but only have limited options?

[remote lintel]

because that's how SE wants it

[faint flare]

Because this isnt wow

And this trial is alot more generous

[midnight tinsel]

Ffxiv system os a whole game

[faint flare]

Like triple the generous

[midnight robin]

on the MSQ - in ul'dah there's all these side quests that i'm over leveled for - do you 'save' them for when you pick up other classes?

[midnight tinsel]

Wows is a joke

[heavy wadi]

not to mention that’d also give a lot more opportunities to rmt sellers and bots.

[remote lintel]

@midnight robin no

[faint flare]

Yellow quests are shit for xp

[remote lintel]

yellow side quests are only for lore

[heavy wadi]

yellow quests are flavor

[midnight tinsel]

@midnight robin just do them if your bored

[gritty oracle]

And for unlocking some triple triad fights

[boreal storm]

like one in 50 yellow quests actually give things

and that's being generous

[desert kettle]

I played before the MSQ overhaul and I found the game extremely boring. IS that marginally better or substantially better now?

[midnight robin]

okay .. thanks .. 🙂

[faint flare]

Arr is shorter

[remote lintel]

whether or not you enjoy it more is subjective

its just a little shorter

[midnight tinsel]

@desert kettle if you dont like story then this is probably the wrong game

In general

[desert kettle]

I don't remember asking

[heavy wadi]

It gets better after arr, if that’s what you’re asking

[midnight robin]

the story is great fun for sure ... i thought maybe it was better to come back when i picked up another class

[heavy wadi]

arr is just all worldbuilding and setup, like s1 of a tv show

[desert kettle]

My question is very simple. did they improve the overall tediousness of early to mid game?

[midnight tinsel]

I greatly enjoyed arr

Define tediousness

[remote lintel]

they made it shorter and cut some filler

[heavy wadi]

^

[remote lintel]

that's it

[gritty oracle]

Very early game, probably not since it's a pretty extended tutorial for people who haven't touched an MMO before

[desert kettle]

I remember being all mindless filler and BS gofor quests

[boreal storm]

It is an RPG

[remote lintel]

that's just how quests work in general

[heavy wadi]

It’s the early game of an mmo

[fresh dagger]

Not sure if I should post this here or in #archived-lore-spoilers but how long until the post shadowbringers story quests get a name like 7th astral or dragonsong? Or is it gonna be called "Post-Shadowbringers Quests" forever?

[faint flare]

Not everything can be constant action

[desert kettle]

There's a fundamental distinction being " not constant action" and drooling on keyboard because one is falling asleep.

[remote lintel]

@fresh dagger you can Google the main story and see the names of the patches

[heavy wadi]

^ that’s probably the best way to organize them

[remote lintel]

well if you're asking whether or not you're going to enjoy the story only you can know that

we can't tell you

[versed geyser]

I like the build up from run of the mill new adventurer to respected veteran

[fresh dagger]

Almost all of the filler is gone, its just a lot of setup. Like they kept the little ala migho questline because liberating ala migho is one of the main goals of stormblood

[midnight robin]

Oh, so have there been changes in the game since say .. 4-5 years ago?

[heavy wadi]

That’s subjective. We can’t tell you the answer to that question.

[remote lintel]

@midnight robin yes many

[boreal storm]

If it ain't your cup of tea, it ain't your cup of tea

[faint flare]

Like two expansions of changes

[desert kettle]

Thank, you rooby. Finally a concise answer.

[midnight robin]

ohhh! I played that long ago .. got super sick and had to put it away, decided to start brand new

[remote lintel]

that's literally what I said 5 mins ago

[versed geyser]

Also this might be a hot take but I feel ARR should be cut some slack due to having to be put out in half the time and with half the budget compared to other MMO's or even the expansions

[midnight robin]

can't even remember how to play my old characters

also played on console and got a new pc .. so playing there too. was really REALLY happy to see the sale!

[desert kettle]

@remote linteltrue I scrolled up and I saw. Thank you too.

[fresh dagger]

Most people reccomend trying to beat the base game (ARR) before trying to pass judgement on it. Thankfully theres a free trial that includes all of ARR and the first expansion, heavansward

[midnight robin]

i thought I noticed some changes, but wsn't srue

sure

[heavy wadi]

Yeah, you could just make a new account to play through the trial, see how you like it.

[midnight robin]

I had gotten to Heavnsward I think

i did that for a bit, but then the sale came .. so was like YUP .. doing that .. I even got 30 days free sub .. so that was an added bonus I didn't expect ❤️

[desert kettle]

I did buy the game a while back along with Heavensward ( or whatever it's called) it's just that by the time I got to my elite class I was bored into oblivion and quit.

[heavy wadi]

that’s only 30 levels in

[midnight robin]

i love the story and lore in this game

[leaden ginkgo]

so guys for a new player all i have to do is do main quests right ?

[boreal storm]

elite class? you mean job

[quick pawn]

Do ff14 has add ons?

[desert kettle]

Yeah 30 levels that felt like walking on splintered glass

[heavy wadi]

and your job quests.

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo do msq and your job quests

[faint flare]

And job quests

[remote lintel]

@quick pawn not legal ones

[leaden ginkgo]

ok ty

[heavy wadi]

Not like wow, no. Furthest it goes are damage meters and even those are technically against the tos.

[quick pawn]

le welp

[heavy wadi]

But most people use them

[leaden ginkgo]

can i change my payment region

[quick pawn]

why against tos

[heavy wadi]

The rule is to not use those statistics to harass people

[faint flare]

Because people are assholes

[remote lintel]

because they mess with game files?

[faint flare]

And it messes with files

[south kestrel]

I would like to get a better weapon for my black mage, is it right that a few quests after completing ultima weapon, the best gear can be purchased using those allagan tomestones of poetics? And if so, what can I buy with it that is worth it?

[midnight robin]

i just wasn't sure about saving the lvl 15s for other classes/jobs .. or if I should grab them now .. for added story ... make the most of xp at level appropriate ...

[heavy wadi]

Because people were using them to abuse and harass poorly performing players.

[faint flare]

Modifying or messing with files are against tos

[remote lintel]

@south kestrel not a few quests after, it's RIGHT after

[faint flare]

Yes after Ultimate weapon buy a poetics weapon

[remote lintel]

buy ironworks

[leaden ginkgo]

in the recommendation tab i dont see any quest related to ''jobs''

[faint flare]

It basically triples your damage

[quick pawn]

oh so they where legal @heavy wadi

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo they appear under the msq bar in the top left

[heavy wadi]

It appears under your msq tracker

[south kestrel]

Oh wow, I should get that than! In revenants toll right?

[remote lintel]

yes

get as much ironworks gear as you can

[faint flare]

Or main cities sundry splendors

[versed geyser]

@quick pawn When it comes to ACT and other add ones the culture is basically "don't ask don't tell". It's against ToS due to modifying game files, but SE isn't going to bonk you for using them unless you harass people in game about it or make it really obvious

[quick pawn]

im so sad that i cant get the regalia mount any more cause im new 💔

[leaden ginkgo]

hi, can i change my payment region from na to eu

[remote lintel]

the regalia mount comes back in september

[faint flare]

It's coming back
