Kill Magitech Deathmachines in zone 2
@obsidian patio I've been doing it for one hour, still nada
Complete all other CEs as they spawn.
If i bought starter edition via steam I can't upgrade it via mog to full version?
Does anyone have a list of crafting macros and stuff? None of my old macros work from last year at all so I have to change them
Only one can exist at a time
Duels have a 1 hour Cooldown
Whattt are the quests in Crystal Tower series? I can't continue MSQ without them?
And that no other CEs can be up for it to spawn
Dang

Correct, you need the expansions on steam
So if I've already bought the full version via mog is there anything i can do? 😩
If you don’t mind starting over then add a new service account on the mogstation
I did not have issues continueing my msqs
You get locked in 2.5
you probably did them a long time ago
Before heavensward
Thanks
today i got to that point and just continued without going to that tower
If I buy the shadowbringers standard edition, will I still have the first 2 expansions even if my account is free trial?
no
free trial does not give you ownership of the game
you still need to buy the starter edition to be able to use shadowbringers/expansion codes
gotcha
If you haven't redeemed the code you could try your luck opening a support ticket for a refund but no guarantees
You're buying a trailer for a car you're taking on a trial drive
i said you WILL, you will be gated at I think Shadowbringers if you haven't done CT
Yeah it says enter the code to add new service account but i don't have any
ah okay, that makes sense, but not right away. theres plenty of msqs to do after right?
They lock at the end of ARR iirc
is there a way to hide HUD?
Correction, end of ARR
Scroll lock
scr lock
ty 🙂
It's a toggle so that'll restore it too
You can't do the last two post-ARR MSQ without CT raids
how much growth do I need for the relic quest "A Dream Fulfilled" before I complete my objective?
^
needed to progress, they didn't wanna make you go back at level 80 of all places

you need to do put in all 240 points
P a i n a n d s u f f e r i n g
Fill the bars
which means you need between 60-80 umbrite and crystal sand
it is truly pain and suffering
What's the best and quickest way to get crystal sand?
it's easiest with crafting for scrips
Anima is POETICS: THE RELIC
blue scrips with a crafter
Crafter scrips
Well it says the entered code has already been registered I'm assuming it expired since alot of months passed
I'll do gathering first then, need the gear anyways
Crafter scrips are easier
Whats the meta for PvP?
there isnt really one
!faq meta
I know about this
And pvp is not popular
but pvpaiassa discord has a decent idea in #resources
You kinda can’t control what happens in PvP
Hm
Job wise
Yeah but there should be a most DPS one
dragoon is regarded as one of the most powerful due to its damage and ranged abilities
i'm also partial to MNK being bursty as shit
you should go ask in the pvpaissa discord
Aight ty
cos honestly most people in here don't play pvp
What does PF mean?
Party finder
party finder
ok thanks
Thank you!
I'm really confused about the Gear Progression guide for Doh 5.4
In the step it tells you to get certain white scrip gear but it only lists the Alchemy stuff?
It doesn't say whether I should be buying ALL white scrip tools or not
Do i need ALl white scrip tools to craft Aesthetites?
Just the relevant ones
different pieces of aesthetes require differnt crafters so you should get the tools for those first
White scrips are super easy to get compared to the materials for aesthetes gear, it's also item level 500 and is aesthetes only beats it when pentamelded
If you cba to craft and meld hq aesthetes the white scrip gear is perfectly fine for most purposes
white scrip will hold you over fine for everything below 5.4 crafting (ie smoked chicken, exarchic, etc)
I have a cosmetic question: does the horns of Au Ra and ears of cats/elezen protrude from helmets?
yes for au ra horns, and sometimes for miqo'te ears/elezen
there is occasional clipping issues with it too, so be forewarned
Thanks! You people are so helpful. I'm glad I asked, since I think that would bother me otherwise!
Become catboi
Is talking about 3rd party macros bannable? Not like, using them, but what keys people use for them, & talking about people that abuse them?
what is a good way to rack up some gil? i've been focusing more on MSQ / black mage stuff but i'm blowing cash teleporting all over the place
can you hide your FC tag?
In in game chat it can potentially get you in trouble
Where do I find Labyrinth of the Ancients for crystatl tower series? I just did A performance for the ages but can't find the next quest?
How do you ask someone to meld materia onto a weapon?
i don't think you can hide your FC tag no
it will possibly implicate you, and i imagine it's frowned upon to give advice about if that is what youj mean
in-game that is
here, it's fine i'd imagine
Raid tab, the orange dungeon one in your duty finder if you've unlocked ut
directly talk to them, though an NPC can just do it for you for a nominal fee in many cities
oh wow didn't know that
They break tos so technically they could use the implication to ban you but idk if they'd be that harsh
yep, should be called materia melder
or, err, they have that tag <<Materia Melder>> below their name
Cool ty!
@warm snow I can't seem to find it

vinyl beat me to it 
hey folks, I played FF XIV a year or two ago and wanted to get back in. But I'm having trouble. I can't logging back because I don't remember my password, and when I try to reset it there's a security question that I also don't remember my answer to. Is my best shot at fixing this a message to SE's support center, or is there something else I should try? Or is it just completely hopeless?
Support centre
Why do people put hard ass questions as their security instead of ones they can remember
Yeah, I was an idiot & said something about it while some guy was salty at me in chat

You can be any class to get raw emotion drops?
Yes
yes, just have the quest
once you have a completed relic weapon how hard of a grind is it to get another one for an alt
yeah Shadowbringers
But for the most part you can prefarm mats
is what I was referring to
Then you get to skip the haunting/vexing step and the 180 step
Everything else you redo
that doesnt seem to terrible
Why would this guide say to not get White Scrip gear for boots and instead get like Dwarven Cotton Trousers and Swallowskin Shoes? I'm so confused lol
If you keep each quest active you can infinitely farm the items
Dwarven cotton stuff is like ilevel 410 or somethinf
White scrip is 500
I guess it might be getting it for a CP boost?
because it can be melded?
zodiac: same as before
anima: same as before, but you can prep
eureka: easier since you're levelled and can prep, but mostly same steps
shadowbringers: you skip two pretty big steps but still have to do a few chunky parts

cp I guess idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I tried to change the color of my chocobo to dalamud red but it turned orchard brown instead
I'm pretty sure I fed him correctly
are the food retroactive?
I was in a fc before and maybe I fed something to it
does that matter?
It's still rng even with a calculator
oh
the calculator mentions that if a food doesn't display "your chocobo plumage will change", the fruit doesn't actually apply
so you'd have to feed it again
that is how i turned my chocobo fucking green one time
ah man I've been in queue for 77 minutes now, is there some kind of discord to find people for certain duties a lot quicker?
which... duty?
If it coils it will never pop
i am trying to do as many the howling eye extremes since i really like the ponies :)
That's why
yeah party find it
It's an extreme
duty finder for extremes is non-existent and highly not recommended
People don't que for extremes
the harder the content the less useful is duty finder
put a post up in party finder and people will see and join if interested
it's like an in-game LFG function

I'm looks for people to join this party for this duty
oh that sounds useful, ill give it a look
Often used to form farming groups
As for arr ponies, most people just unsync them at level 80
Cuz they're a fucking joke to solo at 80
you can also just unsync at 80 yeah, you can demolish garuda and other primals fairly easy
what is unsyncing the ponies do?
unsyncing makes you bypass the level cap
You go in with your current stats and skills
oh what, that sounds overpowered
and that is only possible at max level?
it's for convenience and farming purposes
no, any level
but it is recommended at 80 since u can just poop on em
oh, then ill just save the farming for later
You turn off sync so you enter as yoy currently are

thanks for the heads up
You still need to form groups for most hw and all sb extremes so now you know about party finder for those
if i buy a flying mount via the achievement trader, am i able to fly with it, or do i need to do a prereq. flying quest to unlock flying
Gotta unlock flying
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
Everything flies
Hi
understandable, have day
I have few questions
Ask them
PLD question
Is there any reason to use Rage of Halon if you can use goring blade?
No
No
Is final fantasy online any good?
But rage of halone will be upgraded to a better skill at 60
Prior to royal authority paladin is weird
Ff14 is a good game
I play on Behemoth, which currently does not allow character creation. What is the easiest way I can group up with a newbie friend of mine that rolled their character on a different server?
You ask this in a final fantasy server with people who have played it for years
Got it, so only when I'm level synced should I use Rage of Halon
That is, when I can't use any of the other ones
lol
Well
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
I just thinking about buying it
Do the trial
Try the trial, it's stupid generous
To try it
Ohhh, it opens/closes throughout the day? I thought it was closed for good, so we can just wait for a later time then, thanks!
Does recruit a friend still work? And if so, do I need an active subscription in order to see it in my mog station?
!faq freetrial
So I'm finally going to try the game with some friends and such. I'm doing a lot of research and found something called cross role spells. How does that work. Does that mean you can have a dps off heal?
I’m buy it on play station so
Yes and only for people on the free 30 days from buying the base game
Not a thing any more
They trashed it entirely?
Cross class content was removed 2 expansions ago
Ahah! Ty. ❤️
Role Actions replaced it
Anything older than a year is probably out of date
So my friend can play the trial, then purchase the game after lets say 2 months and I can recruit?
Cross class pre-4.0 sounded nice in theory, but forced you to level up other classes to be good with the class you actually played
Role actions are shared actions for a role so, tank, healer, caster, melee, ranged
Yes
Like all healers NEEDED thaumaturge at 26 for Swiftcast
Oh
So like if your dps all dps get similar spells?
No
Or all melee NEEDED Lancer at 34 for a move that restored their equivalent of MP and a damage buff
They're very basic skills
Thats what I meant
!skill swiftcast
!skill second wind
you can recruit him as long as he buys the game and does not sub
subbing will cancel it
These are two of the role actions
Ah. But its only for that role.
tyty! ❤️
Well healers and casters get swiftcast but yeah pretty much
Mm
Cross class was fucking shit
I mean unless I'm wrong I find it disappointing a bard can't off help unless it can.
Off heal
getting the 515 sam relic, allocating stats, what are the priorities currently?
Auto corrwcnt
Follow your meld priority
Healers have to dps but cannot replace dps
Interesting
Ik btw I come from. Wow where some classes have dps or tanks but can still off heal
healers are the primary sources of healing, any large additional sources of healing from DPS or tanks come at a cost with very few exceptions
This ain't wow
There's no specs here
And healers dps too?
You're that role
yes
healers DPS isntead of spamming heal buttons
Everyone's expected to contribute to killing the boss
Ok that sounds fun
as i've been told many times is what one does in wow
Healers are heavily expected to dps
So I’m guessing final fantasy is different then elder scrolls
yes
As dps is the best healing
Tanks dps to keep aggro, healers dps when they don't need to heal
My favorite spec in wow was disc priest which did damage to heal
There's none of that
There's only one spell that heals and deals damage at the same time
that isn't the same as what healers do but you are expected to damage if you are not healing
So that sounds cool that healers need to also dos
(at least yet, maybe sage Idk)
Dps
Or ast respec
So tanker is the shield ?
Wait 2 spells
the main gameplay loop of healers is trying to use as much as your time doing damage without getting people killed between heals
And melee is is knifes?
Tanker keeps all the enemy aggro so healers and dps arent being killed
yes
Cuz they're very squishy



There's multiple melee jobs with different weapons
I mean at least healer get to ha e fun too
i think they mean the logo
Wow its just spam heals
Oh so swordsman are Melee?
Can Shiva's crafted EX weapons be sold on the MB?
As much fun as spamming 1 button, occasionally 2 all fight is
In ff14 you want to heal as little as possible

some people play healer like this and it's not great 
If it dies faster you have less healing to do
but yeah healer damage 'kits' are very limited where it's 1 spam button and 1 dot
Damage is the best EVERYTHING in this game
Best mitigation, best healing
Shit can't do damage if it's FUCKING DEAD
You get some fun tools eventually but yeah
I'll look into healing specs now too they sound like fun
There are no "specs"
Just rev up that broil machine
Ik
Just jobs
The answer to this is no, and it appears Levi weapons can't be either
I'll learn to say jobs
Oh
ok so i im ... confused im use to wow i guess but if i buy something from the store how long does it normally take to get to the mail box ive been waiting for over an hour
you can have all on one class, might as well abuse it
relog
Varies
Just be patient
if relogging doesn't work yeah, be patient like vinyl says
Is ther duel welding swords?
There's also a manual check button on the mail moogle
No
Darn
ninja dual wields really large daggers but not swords no
Ninja duel wields daggers
There's dual knives on ninja
That'd it
Ok so I know a lot of mmos get this wrong but is gear just a stat stick. Or do we get interesting mechanics on gear or some other system to make charatcer gear more interesting
stat stick
Stats
Stat stick
I thought it be cool
hi, i was wondring if i kill savage boss in practice mode will the kill count as complete
your class is very static, the complexity comes from optimizing your level of play rather than augmenting them for builds
Yes
there is customization with GCD speed but other than that it's just stat stick min-maxxing
The queing tags for savage don't mean much
There is no practice mode it's just a tag for your party finder so people know you're practicing
Ok and what are swords in what role?
Depends on the sword lol
Paladin wields a sword and shield, and that's a tank
DRK wields a biiiig sword and that's also a tank
In the newest expansion is there any other way to increase the way your charatcer plays or in the end everyone has the same gear. Im going to give the game a good shot but I never did like the meta just getting everyone to equip the same gear stats
One handed is used my paladin with a shield, rapier is red mage, great sword is dark knight
Samurai uses a karan
no, still just stat sticks all the way around
Is there a chance I get rid of the shield
Sword and shield paladin tank, great sword dark knight tabk....katana samurai dps
!faq meta
You can glamour to hide the shield
also yeah just play any class you want to
You can buy you'll be a super shitty paladin as a result
most of the game is exploring the classes and playing what you like
To make it not visible
what vinyl said
What you mean shitty?
If you don't have a shield equipped you can't use some skills and your stats are heavily decreased
kat means that if you got rid of the shield from ur equipment, you take a lot of damage and do a lot less damage
But you can glamour to make it invisible
Damn. I was hoping that gear or some other factor would make one person's job different than another but eh most mmos do this.
But it's still a piece of equipment you need to equip
That's what the different jobs are for
No cause that forces a meta which Se svoids
All the jobs play differently
I also was told that pvp isn't the games main point. But im hoping to have fun with pvp
It's not popular
it's not popular, but ifind it fun
It exists.jpg
i vibe with pvp
Wait so
The jobs look very fun. Is pvp popular enough to at least find matches
It's there but it's not mandatory
Tanker is not popular?
Good because unlike wow you can play all jobs on one character
talking about pvp, that wasn't in response to you
Ye
There's much more dps than other roles due to the sheer number of them and dps being seen as "easier"
That was a cool thing too i can just have one charatcee. There isn't race lock classes eight?
No
No
Is there dungeon ai for levels 62 to 70?
We don't do thst herr
Ok so what melee role anyway?
No
You can play everything on one character
Lame. I really like squads
Some races are locked behind having expansions that's about it tho since your race is purely cosmetic and makes no gameplay difference
Ye
Do trusts get as good as squads?
Let me guess using hands to beat the crap out the monster?
Waaaaaaay better
They're better programmed
Pugilist/Monk does this
I'm glad people say race is cosmetic in wow but there is obvious races that give better stats and other advantages in wow
Literally
better programmed and are independent
O.O
but are rendered obsolete by bozja since that bypasses queues and levels you up faster
you just do trusts for doing them now
Squads get the benefit of ignoring mechanics, and they seem to be killing really fast
Trusts do the mechanics but always clear dungeons at a set pace
Ok so a few more questions. Is there some kind of perk or talent system in ff14
Unlike wow, all jobs within a role are largely within a percentage or two of each other at completely optimal play. To the point where player skill is far more important
No
No
Again that forces meta
Fair
all your jobs are static
We avoid that here
I can't seem to get into bojza. Seems so boring
Nah.
Oh
A samurai in a robe with a glowing sword
Job done
what makes the game more interesting is the mechanics alongside the classes
It is neat that skill will most the time hopefully be better than some other dumb reason
like holy fucks some fights are like 16 things happening at once
that's valid, but it is faster than trusts and even regular dungeons was my point. i think it's worth doing it for that alone
Until you do like 100k with Affaltus miisery
that too
I'll look up some bojza guides. But is it mostly fate grinding and group encounters?
Does arm's length work against Titan's knockbacks?
10 Mill excuse you
Yeah tha
Yes for mettle
Should do I think
And mettle is the currency?
Is there another role where I didn’t need shield just a sword
SAM
Samurai or dark knight
SAM
Or DRK
Oh alright
Your weapon determines your job
Sam has long ass blades DRK has massive blades
Ok well is there anything else I should know about how systems work when it comes to rpg mechanics. I mean as far as I know I don't know what would be in the game. I mean is there anything similar to talents or maybe can you enchant your gear idk.
nope
Nothing similar to that
You can meld materia to your gear but that's just more stats
You meld your gear with extra of a stat, that's all customising you get
the gearing and classes are more simplified, the difficultly lies in the mechanics
There was an elemental resistance system but its looooong gone
i'm trying to be polite as i can when i say this: no matter how many times you ask, there is not anything significantly crazy that augments your skills or gives you talent points
or play MNK
And last thing
classes are static
that class is hard af
What are the races ?
you get their kit and there's very little that changes
People, midgets, elves, cats, trolls, furries and bunnies
Skill the major difference between a good player and a shit one
you'd have to get into game to see, they're a bunch of humanoid people
cat people, dwarves, big dudes, etc
Ah. I mean depending on what you want in your class does i t matter what stats you use or does every use the same stats per job
it's better to see for yourself
Fair
Ok
different
My pc is updating so
it depends on what job
Everyone uses the same core 3
there's a lot of nuance to it that i can't explain in a sentence
but it's not all the same, and sets change depending on what you want
one speedy one with crit
Every job wants crit. Det and 99% want direct hit
but yeah it's usually not hard to figure out since THe Balance gives a rundown on what stats u want, and why
Hyur (Human), Elezen (Elf), Lalafell (Short, toddler-looking people), Miqo'te (Catboy/Catgirl), Roegadyn (Very large humans), Hrothgar (Kind of like Tauren in WoW), Viera (Bunny girl)
Healers and tanks have a dedicated stat each, piety and tenacity
Healers and casters use spell speed
Everyone else uses skill speed
Everyone uses crit, direct hit and determination for more damage
Wait I have to ask this becusse it might be going over my head a bit. Can your job be different than your starting class. It says level x class to x level to get the job but does that really mean you can have two differently leveled jobs and get the bonus from them? Idk might be a really dumb question. But jobs seem different than the class
All jobs have individual exp with one exception
what are the stamps on the side? i would love to get my score up to 80+ but as of now it is at 76
You can change jobs once you finish your level 10 job quest
The categories they're looking for on those pieces of gear
How close you are to thr category. The pants are spot on but the rest are mostly off
Currently occupied by garlemald but #archived-lore-spoilers would know better
Ok you can change jobs but gladiator isn't a job but it leads into a job right
Yeah in arr you start as a class that becomes a job at 30
Classes are baby version of their respective job
jobs are upgrades to classes
Gladiator becomes paladin
Lancer becomes dragoon
once you get the job you never look back
how do i check the ip there
it doesnt show anything
What happens when you level a Lancer but then switch to something else. Does it do anything
Level stays at whatever new job starts at 1
Your level goes to Lv 1 for the new class
Every class/job has its own level
So if you're a 35 DRG and switch to say ARC your level resets to 1 as ARC
But when you go back to DRG you're a 35 DRG again
I'm guessing there's no like benfit to having every job at max level than just being able to switch them them when you feel like something else
Yep
You get a mount
You also get a mount
Mounts
I think my questions are done then ty
Same
cant find how to open clan hunt?
Just play Conjurer and get a free unicorn
I'm going to try the game just wanted to get an understanding of rpg stuff
It's a final fantasy game first mmo second so be warned that EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
Ok
Everything
(we're talking about 200 hours of story here)
I guess its my personal gripe with mmos but I just wish more of them had more rpg parts to them and gear mattered.
We're talking more than 200 hours of story if you unlock absolutely everything and never skip cutscenes
Balancing becomes a much bigger issue with that type of shit, especially in an mmo and balance is very important to the ff14 team
gearing does matter, but the devs want you in the fight more than grinding gear
ik its litteraly the worst thing to balance but its fun
there ARE weapons with customizable substats tho
thats something
and they look cool af
is there more of that
Its only on relic weapons which are the grindy best weapons of a given expansion
There's relics for every expansion
ok
Except the eureka weapons which are a whole other pain in the ass
relics are really grindy and aren't needed to clear content
But it's just picking substats so it's slightly differences
so basically what i was looking for. ill take it its something and the one part of mmos that i will do anything for
classes that lead into jobs are basically the same thing
it's just a holdover from the old system where classes turning into jobs is a thing
How long is dal respawn time?
That's about it
treat them like they're one and the same
Stat sticks with stat customization yes
oh and bozja has a ton of really cool customization with items as a bonus
believe it's at max an hour but gets shorter with every skirmish/CE done
yep
"hello i'd like to do 10 mil damage with one attack as a healer please"
"ok get this this and this and have fun"
same for CLL
what kinda of items with cool customiztion
glam. mounts, emotes, hairstyles and minions
!action essence of the profane
!action Essence of the Irregular
What do I do with skybuilders stuff that didn't meet the collectibility minimum?
nothing. destroy
throw it away

What's the flying mount that is the easiest/quickest to obtain?
all mounts can fly
flying is just gated by msq
asking for a friend how many mounts/pets can you earn in game
a lot
Even the chocobo?
easiest/quickest would be to buy one from the ffxiv store, or do the first chocobo quest
yes

does buying a mogstation one actually just let you bypass the quest requirement
that's hilarious
no
you just don't have to do the chocobo quest, that's it
I have around 50 and I’m not even halfway done
no can't use mounts before you get your chocobo from the msq
neither from mounts you get from the store?
Nope
You NEED the chocobo
To use anything
ah, well i guess i was wrong then
is that really all the mounts i mean i know its not as old as other games so its not going to have as much but i mean mounts and pets are the biggest reason my friend will want to play
It will take time to get them if that's the concern
That's a shitton of mounts and will take a lot of time to get all of them.
do people intentionally delay rolling in hopes that people leave
Yes. People are that worthless.
sadly a few do it...
Some don't realize the notifications, some went straight to bathroom for holding too long during raid.
lmao its hella annoying, its happening a lot in low level dungeons for some reason
no but they just sit around after the final boss is killed

yeah those... just being douchy
Wait, the low level dungeons? What-
What does it mean when someone has a crown and sword before their name?
Mentor PVE
Burger king gaurd
Mentor means nothing
burger king maskot
can you apply to join active hunt ls or is it invite only ?
no, adventurer in need always applies
it depends on how it's set up
oh ok
most hunts i know are puiblic and you just hop in when you can
There are tons of hunt discords that shout of hunts/hunt trains, plus sometimes someone will shout out a hunt in a city
If you see a tank solo'ing an A-rank in StB areas, odds are they could use the help.
but doesnt really feel worth over equal levle direct duty finder
you do the adventurer in need for the money if you really care
the exp gain is marginal and not really worth it for the RNG of getting a lower level dungeon
i used to be in the big one on cereberus back in the days but it seems dead now, dont recall how u found one and searchin on the web dosnt seem to indicate how u join them
there are new hunt discords for different data centers
i think #resources might have something, elsei 'd google it
i'd give you a link but i do not know any for ur DC
thanks or the help ^^
correct, generally AiN isn't worth going for specifically. its basically a small bonus
Is there a quick button for the key items menu?
Can someone help me try to figure out what I'm missing. Trying to unlock squadron with immortal flames and I've been trying to figure out what i haven't done for like 30 minutes. Level 63, I'm second Lieutenant, and I've done every quest they have for me here yet I've never gotten the quest to unlock squadron. What am I missing

Supposedly there is a prerequisite to unlock the quest
Rising to the Challenge
You can find that in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks x11.5 y10.9
try to check the journal if you have it done
they're immortal flames, not maelstrom
it's a quest that is common to all grand companies
you have to unlock the challenge log to be able to do squadrons
since you get recruits from the logs
Just finished ARR a few days ago, and I'm 56. I'm going to queue Labyrinth of the Ancients- This is my first MMO Raid, and I don't want to go in with no idea what I'm doing. Are there guides I should read/watch? Any advice or tips are welcome! My class is Dragoon, btw.
you can go in blind
they are very easy
dodge bad, move with your group, thats all you need to know
Smack things
And stab them
Go in blind, shit is easy
More fun for casual content to go in blind imo
Okay cool! I was unsure if it was difficult or I needed to prepare.
nope, have fun!
aaaaa I'm so mad I'm so stupid. The reason I couldn't find rising to the challenge is because it was on the upper deck and I was looking at quest recommendations on the lower deck

So I have a full set of lv70 crafter gear that is at 100% spiritbond and I have no more use for it. Should I desynthesise it since I can no longer sell it? Or just extract materia and do something else?
This is the set I mean.
Extract then desynth
Extract it, you don't lose the gear
They're not mutuality exclusive
Gotcha!
So out of curiosity, I'm at the stage in my resistance weapon questline where I need to farm timeless artifacts, what's the recommended approach?
Dr solo, potd with group
I gave potd the usual pug queue till F100 and only got 1, I figure that's only good with a static then
Potd good if you go floor 200
Cause higher rates post 100 and guaranteed post 150
But takes along time for a full run
Yeah even this run I just did took a lot out of me
does the game run well on ps4?
Yes
kk thx
Do squad recruits match lvl when they join or is it set?
Their level is just around the average/below average of your squadrons levels
Ok cool so I won't even worry about recruiting until 60
oh i just remebered is gold making and AH selling good in this game idk if this game has that but i always loved to make gold in other mmos in the auctio nhouse
Yes, the market board is thr auction house, just minus the auction
I'm torn is there a benefit to joining one company over another
So it's purely just whichever I think is cooler
They're functionally the same
Like which story I like the most
There's no story difference
Yeah I mean like whichever I like better like how ones pirate and ones like sand people and the other is wood peeps
You can swap companies later
Does retainer location matter?

Not really anymore
Where you assign them, a little bit since some areas have lower taxes
Just for the record that's what we called ff11
And that's still online
Oh
We just call it ff14
are irregular tombstone of pegeantry tradable?
no
what about the items you buy with them?
it depends on which
you can check by hovering older and seeing ifthey are market prohibited
for example the hairs are tradable but stuff like the minions / mounts aren't
What are DPS queue's usually like at end-game? If they're at least tolerable, I don't think I would mind. I just don't wanna be shoe-horned into playing a healer unless I actually wanna play one lol
tolerable yeah
it depends on the content but it's unusually not terrible for 80 content
it will slow down for certain stuff like levelling roulette or older less played dungeons
10-15 mins at most usually
but it's not as bad as people say, and worse case is you just wait
10 - 15 is the worst i've had to deal with on average
other times it's 5 at most
Cool, cause i really wanna play monk or njnja=P
Have fun
Anyone that can help me with the Direct X Fatal Error 11000002 ? I keep getting it more and more now
have tried following some tutorials and such but crashes a lot still
If you're trying fixes you should probably go to #technology-discussion
ah okay, that just says none ff14 tho 
It's for all tech
Is there tons of guilds to join
Yes
ok sorry went a bit afk thats cool theres a market, whats the point of gold making other than doing it, is there really expensive items cosmetic or otherwise that you can get with ti
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
Yes it's growing
It for being lazy
And housing
i see thankkss
And those two golden mounts that cost 25m and 50m
do people pay a lot to have housing stuff
Hm.... Monk or ninja guys?
eyyyy so basically its the equivlent of the bruno mount i accecpt the challege to get overpirced items for selling
large hosues cost 50 mill
flip a coin if you can't decide, or ask a qusetion if that helps you pick
ninja's easier imo, if that influences your decision
Is there a limit on how many dungeons you can play per day?
do you have to pay rent i swear to god
no hanka
Which class am I getting higher damage output on?
about the same
Thank you both
No, just enter it once every 45 days
ninja focuses on boosting your teammates' damage and getting value that way
Or it goes bye bye
mnk is more direct
both are basically the same amount of output regardless
most classes are, with very minor marginal differences in output at the higher and lower ends
so wait to buy the house, its 50 mill, then you have to pay more to maintain it every 45 days
thats hillious
i need
You don't pay anything
you don't ahve to pay
Just enter it to reset the timer
vinyl said you just have to enter it
what do you mean
it demolishes itself after 45 days and you get some of the money back
If you don't enter the house once every 45 it's automatically Demolished and freed up
yeah you just enter the inside to ensure that 'hey i am using my house' and it resets the 45 day timer
Aka the inactivity timer
ye
wait is there only so many houses
yes
Yes
kekw
It's actual proper housing
bruh thats funny
which has its pros and cons, but most people really dislike it
can you resell
@leaden ginkgo i personally like ninja alot more
monk feels so weird in the world with everythign being positionals but you can hardly hit them one on one
You can see other people's houses in a ward
not directly
can you be a property owner, and buy up all the cheap housing and sell it to a higher price
Cause of one specific thing they did
im being dumb but]
you have to do a gentleman's agreement to where if this person pays you, you relocate your plot to another area and they get dibs on relocating to the plot
no
No
mostly just a joke
They specifically added stuff to stop that
aw darn
Cause you know, asshole move
You coul;dn't name macros before right
no one likes landlords
the housing system as it is already is pretty competitive and restrictive on how you obtain one in the first place
so having that would make it basically unusable
ok i need to know all the cool things i can do with gold other than houseing and buying high priced mounts, i love gold making
I’ve always been able to name them since I’ve started playing in ARR
there is not much to be done actually
Buy minions and mounts on marketboard
it's all glamour stuff
I'm blind then kek
i mean glamor is cool. as long as there are cool goals i can reach and want to reach with gold ill do it
gil doesn't really have a use for getting suuuuuper high amounts
it makes life easier after a certain point where u can just buy all the materials and stuff you need but you don't need to be super omega rich for that
So I'm lost ive picked my grand company and I'm 30 but still nothing from the arcanist guild regarding picking a job
You get jobs in like
!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.
4 or so quests
Soon
yeah keep going
Sylph Management
i mean i was simping for the bruno mount in wow, i couldnt get it but maybe one day in the Black market AH. so as long as there are things to do with it
Having gil is vip when a new raid tier drops as the new materials and gear that come with it will be stupid expensive for the first week or so
do you have to do pve to do pvp
besides the unlock, not really
Hi everyone
First time here
you need to do pve to unlock the classes ofc
gear in pvp is set
Hows everyone
you just go in as ur class
Gear means nothing in pvp
oh yeah i forgot
please direct urself to #general-discussion for a larger group to introduce urself to
I can read its the question channel lol I have a question just not being rude lol
Hi
Heavily moderated channel
Yes
with all due respect i would prefer you ask directly as opposed to having fluff in here, as that belongs in #general-discussion where people will be more receptive
why is there a preorder
yes we have quite al ong time
kinda crazy hahaha
For the preorder items and early access to endwalker
Money
They don't charge now
i dunno, it's just a pre-order so people can just get their things in. they also give people the earrings early to catch up on levelling
Unless you want them to
how early is the early access =D?
19th
it's not a big deal if they do it now, or do it later
Vs 23rd
What's with the ring 30% exp when pre ordered of patch. Will it be delivered fast same dame when we pre order or wheb the initial launch happens?
it's just rght before release yeah
I can’t get in contact of hopes peck academy
Same day
Day
it's the 30% exp earrings?
I am interested in joining them
It gets delivered the moment yoy put the preorder code in
correct it's the 30% exp earrings
and yes you just get them the same day you pre-order since it gives you a code to get them immediately
early access and actually putting the game into ur account comes later
Awww ok that is all. Hope you guys have a great day
No
No
it's side-content but not actually pertinent to anything
is it useful for leveling or i should keep spamming dungeons
It's not referenced again until 5.55
you don't even need it to participate in the Odin fate with actual cosmetic rewards
trials are never useful for levelling
No trial is good for levelling
dungeons will be the main source for exp for the most part
understood thank you ❤️
And only levelling dungeons
and one last thing
Level cap (50/60/70) dungeons give crap exp
^
the allegan tombstones currency
i bought some lvl 50 gear with it
is it fine or should i hoard them
Spend for ironworks
perfectly mine, they're meant to be spent
You'll be capped by the time you hit 60
spend for augmented ironworks yes
That's the best level 50 gear
never overcap
this is what i did
weapon > chest/legs is the priority
ye just as i thought ty ty
The stuff you buy with poetics is the best gear you could buy when that expansion was current
Trading for accessories gives more ilv
So the best arr/hw/SB gear
Crystal tower cutscenes aren't voice acted right?
Nope
correct
Ah that sounds explains thst
Still don't know how didn't recognize a particular someone without armor/suit lol
Arr and it's patches didnt have a lot of budget after rebuilding the game from scratch
Also side stuff like alliance raids, normal raids and trial series almost never get voice acting
Exceptions being the stormblood trial series but only in the trial and the shadowbringers raid series but only in the raids
Oh wait there's some voice acting inside the stormblood alliance raids
Oh and also the ShB trail in 5.3 had voice
Did 5.0 ShB trail have voice?
Probably not
Yes
Cause ||It's Emet||
