Your friends can find you on the overworld, but msq lvl 15 above is when you can run dungeons

This prompt should appear when you talk to the personnel officer at the GC you want to join.

No.

@jovial quarry i dont have it :CCC
jade quartz
is it better to quest or just do dungeons
Do the main story. It’s not optional.
nocturne hinge
is it worth experiencing the game as is in the free trial or is it better to just try to get 60

ahhh i want to cry
jade quartz
Sidequests however are not good for exp.
nocturne hinge
dungeons not good for exp
jade quartz
Yes they are

If you want to get the most bang for your buck, free trial @nocturne hinge
jovial quarry
Dungeons are the second best source of EXP. Main quests are the best for leveling up.
jade quartz
Dungeons are the primary method of leveling alt classes after main story is complete.
nocturne hinge
i really want to play with my gf durring the game but it seems like thats going to be difficult unless we spam dungeons
frozen wind
But if you want exp increase from FC, making gil on the side for a bit of an edge then just buy the game
leaden ginkgo
True to your name are we Lord of Cringe?
Anyway, regarding your question, I would personally recommend staying Free Trial as long as you can, for the story will take you months to complete.

The only time you would spam dungeons is when you're underleved for a msq , or you are leveling an alt job and are spamming the highest level avaliable dungeon

hearty mango
so we had to have picked the same class to be in the same aera
only until level 15, and not the same class, just classes with the same starting city
like archer and lancer have the same starting city

Can the FC Owner remove someone else's room in the FC House? Or does it have to be the person who owns the room?

I think once a person gets boot from the FC, that room is auto-demo'd. Don't quote me on that though, I've yet to ask my past FC leaders.
jade quartz

Only the room owner can demolish the room... unless of course you are kicked from the FC in which case it gets destroyed.

if you get the boot

blue quest called "So you want to be a marauder" I think
That’s not related to the question at hand
They’re already a level 30 marauder.
frozen wind
ah misread that
boreal storm
That’s to be a marauder, they’re trying to get their job stone
leaden ginkgo
They're half right though. You need to of done the Marauder quests, but also need to of done the MSQ quest Syph Management. Then a quest will come in the Marauder's Guild.

Once you have your job stone you can equip it in the character menu

heavy wadi
Getting d/c'd and latency in instances in bryn a lot, myself, so seems like there's a more widespread issue as of late.
fast hull
is famrit or hyperion down?
lilac bloom
I know this is a technical question (and maybe a dumb one) but the latency we see in Resmon to check ping, is the ping to the actual server right? Nothing inbetween?
I live in Central US and using ExitLag to Montreal server cuts my ping down by like 65% than sending it straight to Cali somehow lmao
glossy flare

you could check with the cmd ping command

it is the actual server
strong sphinx
wasnt there something in the patch notes that stated that the weekly lock is being removed? i am confused
strong sphinx
aaahh okay !
modest igloo
yeah covid made the tier unlocks a bit wonky
so totally understandable if you're confused about it
faint flare
It's normal kinda
strong sphinx
but wasnt it during the previous tier as well? during 5.3 they lifted the weekly lock right?
warm snow
Afaik this is normal, it was the last tier that was different due to covid
Not counting this tier being delayed in coming out to begin with
potent shoal

leaden ginkgo
Why are people memeing the gunbreaker so bad?

Superbolide reduces your health to 1 but makes you invincible for a short amount of time
Which is what people are talking about with gunbreaker

Problem is most people time it wrong
alpine shadow

Oh yeah it's best to use it at low health which is also when a whm normally would use benedict
so sometimes that happens
opaque heart

zinc orbitBOT

there are a limited number of addons supported via an alternative luncher
all of them technically against ToS, just like ACT

i wouldnt
heavy wadi
5.1 specifically
aye, can’t ever remember which :p
outer mural
if they find it fun it shouldn't be that bad
heavy wadi
monk is one of the harder classes in the game to optimize
that’s not a reason to not level a class
outer mural
i find it less tedious to play than samurai because it's not as rigid
heavy wadi
people should play what is fun
twilit arch
You don't need to worry about optimizing anyway
remote lintel
how is it hard to optimize
native pollen
that’s not a reason to not level a class
that's a reason to not level it as your first class
twilit arch
if the concern is unlocking bozja
heavy wadi
optimization is only relevant to raiders
heavy wadi
that's a reason to not level it as your first class
no it’s not. if someone finds it fun don’t discourage them
twilit arch
like....unless they're going to worry about going into savage, its really not a key point
you can do just fine on mnk
so long as you're hitting buttons properly
outer mural
mnk's rotation is also relatively simple (imo) in exchange for its constant worrying about positionals
remote lintel
you barely even need to do your rotation perfectly in bozja if you just 'roid yourself up with essences
outer mural
it's not the end of the world if they can't play perfect
warm snow
Hell mnk is even easier in bozja since there's no positionals
heavy wadi
the super high tier optimization is irrelevant to the majority of players, anyways
outer mural
in addition MNKs in bozja literally do not care about positionals
twilit arch
Not really sure why it was brought up tbh when the conversation wasn't even about raiding

Not really sure why it was brought up tbh when the conversation wasn't even abou...

is it better to go through MSQ as summoner over scholar?
for the exp? doesn't matter
i mean
heavy wadi
either
remote lintel
for queues sch is faster
twilit arch
smn since its dps and going to hit harder generally but ultimately it doesn't matter
because sch isn't going to be that much slower
outer mural
for instances scholar will be marginally faster, for solo instances summoner i guess
but as kat said
not matter bc i imagine the time save is not exactly crazy
heavy wadi
msq progresses at a pretty fixed pace so it doesn’t matter.
full grail
I've been working through MSQ with my scholar, seems fine so far
remote lintel
also you can just switch to either one based on which will be faster for that situation so like
¯_(ツ)_/¯

- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

And are unlocks for things such as jobs spread across all characters or would you have to level up and repeat the unlock quests?

leaden ginkgo
so I am roughly new to FF, and I was wondering should I make seperate characters for multiple jobs or focus on one char? Because I would love to get into a dark knight but I don't want my Hyur to be a dark knight.
remote lintel
dont
native pollen
so I am roughly new to FF, and I was wondering should I make seperate characters...
no
twilit arch
general recommendation is to focus on one character
fading aurora
u can play all on 1
native pollen
you can be everything on one character
twilit arch
since if you make multiple characters, you're going to have to unlock everything again
native pollen
not like wow that forces you to make a new character for every little different thing
remote lintel
i mean if you dont want a hyur dark knight then youll have to redo the story all over again on the other character

and again i say the restriction of 90 days its stupid
at least new players shouldnt have restriction on server transfer of 90 days

you only have 90 day restriction if you make a character on a preferred server

and i didnt took benefit of road to 70 i boosted class and msq

How is Gil management early game (free trial)? Just sitting on 2k so I don’t wanna buy anything just yet until I get an idea on how Gil accruement is
glossy flare
so there you go, get that to the final stage and dye it

the msq throws gil at you
theres no reason to spend it on anything other than teleporting

yeah, with the msq alone you get a decent amount of gil
so for now don't worry about it

to be clear, standard step works on two dancers partnering with one another bc the buff you give urself and the buff u give ur partner is different
that is also why you can't stack two of them on another person, bc the giving partner buff is the same and thus cannot stack

it can cost more depending on your server. however, you don't need the rain set to get the full MGP bonus

As AST, Usually when I pull a card I can’t see what card it is, so I just put it on anyone. Which class should I blindly put it on as default? Specifically in 8-person raids, where you have a lot of choices
remote lintel
you should never blindly put cards on people ever
remote lintel
you can definitely see the border of the card
gloomy mortar
I thought each card is a variation of a 3% buff
remote lintel
no
twilit arch
No
outer mural
@leaden ginkgo #kupo-bot-spam message
remote lintel
its the same buff on every card
twilit arch
ewer, bole, spire are 6% on ranged/healers, or 3% on others. arrow, spear, and balance are 6% on tanks/melee or 3% on others
gloomy mortar
So what does it matter what card it is? If it’s the same buff?
outer mural
it matters what class you give it on because ranged and melee benefit from different cards
twilit arch
it matters because its a bigger buff on correct role
outer mural
^
that being asid
my earlier question: what do you mean you cannot see the cards?
there sohuld be a huge UI element that displays explicitly what card you draw
remote lintel
theyre probably looking at the specific card which doesnt matter
only the border matters and the symbol at the top
gloomy mortar
I can’t quickly identify the cards at a distance
remote lintel
its something you get used to
twilit arch
just look at the border on your job gauge
remote lintel
change your hud layout if you need to
outer mural
yes. like cerberus earlier, the easiest way to tell is to look at the border
twilit arch
blue = melee, purple = ranged

Ok thanks 🍡

the seals mechanic should also be fairly easy to work with later
