[fickle tree]

Hello, I just came back from a break (stopped playing after E8S)
Are people still running the new raid? What would you recommend me to focus on for now if I want to catch up asap?

[tiny crag]

Thanks everyone for all of the help, would have been stuck a few times if not for this discord. xD

[sweet leaf]

i'm seriously missing something. I don't understand how to beat Zu in Pharos Sirius using command squadrons

i kinda just fly by when i'm doing it with other players, so i don't understand what mechanics i'm not grasping

[normal vortex]

how / where do I unlock the dark knight class?
I'm a level 33 marauder and on MSQ level 21

[sweet leaf]

Dark Knight is in Ishgard, after you finish ARR

[normal vortex]

oh ok

what MSQ level does ARR finish?

[sweet leaf]

50

[normal vortex]

o.o

[oak ice]

You will know when you get to Heavensward

[normal vortex]

do I unlock a flying mount in the MSQs?

[sweet leaf]

after ARR as well

[oak ice]

After the 2 first dungeons at level 50 you unlock flying for all mounts

[normal vortex]

cool thanks!

[buoyant sorrel]

Oop I've got 50 tomestones of pagentary left over from the event.. Should I just.. Throw em out?

[twilit arch]

ayep

nothing can do with them

[fading aurora]

@twilit archcant they use them at the next event, the last 2 event tomes were also usable

at this event

[twilit arch]

no

Irregular tomestones of pageantry, and item exchanges will only be available during the event period.

[quick sage]

Hey guys, I’m having trouble convincing friends to play ffxiv

They told me why should they pay sub if they’re already paying for the game

[heavy wadi]

that's not something we can really help with

[quick sage]

What do I tell them

They said it’s a good game and all

They just don’t like the subs

[vestal needle]

I mean the problem is that ff14 isnt good enough to make them believe in subbing

[outer mural]

server costs

[elder root]

then just let them play the free trial

[quick sage]

They just said it’s a great game but don’t wanna pay subs lol because they’re already paying the gme

[heavy wadi]

that's not the point

[elder root]

if the free trial convinces them that a sub is worth it

then all the better

but if not they can just stay with the free trial

[heavy wadi]

The answer is that sub fee is for server costs, and letting the game continue to be funded throughout development

[sweet leaf]

If they payed for the game, they'll be charged for the sub after the first 30 days

[ripe hound]

Hard to say, I think it’s just personal opinion

[stable hinge]

any chance we're getting a glamour dresser expansion in 6.0?

[ripe hound]

As in, some of the “Gamer” audience don’t quite like subscription based services

[dire prawn]

50

[heavy wadi]

^ hence why we can't really help, if someone doesn't like the sub model then it's not easy to convince them

not to mention some people just, may not be able to afford it

[elder root]

well it's true, subs are kind of an older model

[ripe hound]

No matter if it’s MMO type or Game Distribution Platform type

[elder root]

mostly for mmos

[outer mural]

there's really not much one can say, the sub fee is just a thing you have to deal with.
if they don't like the game enough to pay the sub, that's just their own money to content ratio

c'est la vie

[elder root]

zoomers don't get it

[whole wasp]

xiv was also released when sub-based MMOs was common

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I personally really like paying subs no matter if it’s MMO, or subscribing to a big game library

Since I just don’t mind not owning games

[whole wasp]

WoW, runescape etc

[quick sage]

I started searching online

I found this

[heavy wadi]

Sub based games = less obnoxious monetization, like gw2's

[elder root]

not exactly

just look at the currrent state of wow

KEK

[viscid fossil]

subscription helps getting updates and contents into the game.

[elder root]

box price + sub fee + microtransactions

hit them with the triple whammy

[viscid fossil]

Also a month sub = 1 skipped lunch

1 skipped lunch = 30 days of gametime

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I guess it depends on your financial situation

[viscid fossil]

a lunch is more expensive than one month sub today

lol

[ripe hound]

For me the sub fee of the game is basically ignorable... if you calculate it in Gacha Money

[elder root]

ROFL

[heavy wadi]

or in usd, 1 month of game time = a little more than 2 hrs of work at minimum wage

[fading aurora]

cant recruit codes be used cross data center or no?

can*

[ripe hound]

Yea they can

I recruited someone on a different world a while ago

[elder root]

well for me a sub has to make itself worth it to me

[ripe hound]

Yeah, definitely

[elder root]

and well, with how huge ff14 is with it's content

I think it's very worth it

[viscid fossil]

wow is US min wage this low? Here 60min work for it min wage. (anyways off topic)

[fading aurora]

but that still leaves one problem i cant send gil cross data center lol

[elder root]

there's so much shit you can do in the game

[ripe hound]

US Federal Min is 7.5 USD

[elder root]

and there's a lot of attention to detail too

I've only been playing for a few weeks, and it's definitely worth it

[ripe hound]

Oh, maybe not cross data center...?

[heavy wadi]

excluding tipped jobs which is... $2.13 usd per hour

[ripe hound]

Yeah, US problems lol

[devout crystal]

Is summoner hard to play? I know RDM is number 1 choice for a newbie but it doesn’t click me. How is Summoner?

[ripe hound]

ツ

[viscid fossil]

2min rotation

[devout crystal]

Very complicated and long rotation?

[elder root]

short answer, yes

[whole wasp]

complicated not

[devout crystal]

Ouch

[whole wasp]

vvery long rotation yes

[naive ridge]

Personally I prefer BLM

[elder root]

summoner is also a dot class

make of that what you will

I dislike it tho

[viscid fossil]

Summoner = Piano

[naive ridge]

BLM really helps you learn positioning

[viscid fossil]

I suck at piano, so I'm a bad summoner

[ripe hound]

Also I personally still don’t think RDM is the easiest job

[devout crystal]

I heard BLM is the single most difficult job in ff14

[ripe hound]

I still felt RDM is harder than MCH and DNC

[elder root]

yeah I find RDM challenging too

[ripe hound]

BLM is when you do easy content it’s pretty easy
When you do difficult content it makes the content 12 times more difficult

[elder root]

but I don't play casters

so the concepts feel very alien to me

[whole wasp]

most of RDM's challenge comes from the fact that you start at 50

and that can be overwhelming for most players

unlike SMN or BLM which starts at lvl 1

[proud willow]

Job difficulty is very subjective and also very dependent upon whether you're talking about "how hard to run through normal dungeons without falling on your face" and "how hard to parse 95+ on Ultimate"

[ripe hound]

True

[slate arrow]

for what it's worth, the only job I find difficult is healers, but that's because I forget buttons like neutral sect and seraph exist

Everything else is just either fast or remembering to use buttons on cooldown

[ripe hound]

But yeah, jobs like BLM becomes exponentially harder as content gets harder,
Where some other jobs like MCH makes difficult content feel much easier

[naive ridge]

personally feel that BLM is the easiest, but its probably just my mindset, BLM forces you to learn the ins and outs of everyfight in advance

[vestal needle]

Imo healer difficulty depends on party

[plain python]

will lost action more responsive if I keybind them?

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I still don’t think Healer is easy

[ripe hound]

Yeah, probably

[jade quartz]

BLM doesn't force you to learn the fight significantly more than literally any other job.

[ripe hound]

I agree Healer’s rotation might be boring, but progging as healer is still really really energy draining

[jade quartz]

All jobs need to learn the fight to optimise.

[whole wasp]

as a mainly healer player, dps is way harder for me because i tunnel vision into my rotation

while healer just needs me to be awake

and react to my team

[ripe hound]

Maybe, have to admit I’m just repeating hearsay and I’m a lv 34 BLM lol

[naive ridge]

For classes with mobility, it's easier to adjust for minor fuckups.

[hard parrot]

I don’t think BLM is the easiest, but I think it has a higher skill floor. But at high-level optimization (as in, 99-100%), it doesn’t seem to struggle as much.

[naive ridge]

you'd be interrupting more casts as a blm

[ripe hound]

Yeah MCH feels like the easiest in this case, you don’t need to know the fight at all, since in most fights boss don’t leave ranged range

[hazy apex]

so i am trying to make my retainer a gunbreaker and they are level 60 marauder how do i make them into a gunbreaker

[ripe hound]

So it’s just do your rotation repeatedly on autopilot mode

No melee uptime to worry, no cast bars to worry

[hard parrot]

In any case, you can try out all classes and assess difficulty for yourself, tbh. Different folks will have different opinions.

[jade quartz]

All jobs need to know when to use their cooldowns, hold burst etc. This requires knowing the fight well.

[ripe hound]

Not even randomness to worry for MCH

[jade quartz]

For BLM its cooldowns just happen to be movement-related.

BLM isn't a special boy with extra difficulty.

[ripe hound]

yeah, I guess so, holding burst is important sometimes

I’m MCH main so I mainly just hold burst for 6m pot window, and a few extra stuff like e9s clouds

[jade quartz]

I'd posit melee uptime is more of a challenge than BLM positioning.

[ripe hound]

Yeah, that I agree

My brain just don’t work on melee

[hard parrot]

BLM’s suffer more from a cast interruption than other classes do from missing a single GCD. That’s what folks are referring to when they talk about BLM mobility handicap. Of course all classes do better knowing the fight, but the difficulty is there, and there’s no need to pretend it doesn’t exist.

[outer mural]

agree, it's especially apparent on DRG and SAM because they are both fairly rigid jobs in terms of rotation

[naive ridge]

Im not saying its extra difficult, I said it's easier for me personally

[jade quartz]

The difficulty is not significantly more than any other job.

[hard parrot]

Uh.

[twilit arch]

buy a Modern Vocation from the retainer vocate. cost 40 venture tokens @hazy apex

[jade quartz]

That's the issue.

Talking up BLM as being more difficult isn't really helpful or welcoming to players who might want to try it out.

[hard parrot]

Ranged physical literally can move around and maintain uptime through all mechanics. There are differences in skill floors.

[ripe hound]

I personally disagree, but hey, difficulty is subjective lol

[naive ridge]

Im saying it's easier....

[hard parrot]

I’m not trying to dissuade people from playing BLM. Just trying to convey information.

[jade quartz]

And ranged have their own cooldown mechanics to deal with.

[twilit arch]

This also isn't the place to argue about

[jade quartz]

Please keep information objective.

[outer mural]

[ripe hound]

Yeah, this is going off topic

[outer mural]

answer is play whatever

[hard parrot]

You’re... not being objective either. But yes, sorry for arguing. Thanks for the bonk.

[outer mural]

the only thing i've continued arguing for avoiding BLM as a starter class is its changing rotation as one levels up

[elder root]

no all classes are easy and if you find them hard you're just bad

[jade quartz]

That's a fair comment.

[outer mural]

but yes let's move on to discussion

[elder root]

/s

[jade quartz]

Different jobs will be difficult or easy to different people depending on their personal playstyle and preferences.

[elder root]

I think you missed the sarcasm

[ripe hound]

Yeah he was just being sarcastic

[jade quartz]

Not usually because of inherent difficulty.

[outer mural]

I think this isn't the place for it regardless as said previously

[twilit arch]

And it was an unnecessary comment

[jade quartz]

I picked up on the sarcasm which is why I responded in a way that addressed it.

[ripe hound]

Cool

Let’s un... talk about Zandor!

[remote lintel]

this isnt a discussion channel

[ripe hound]

Zandor’s Castrum is unlocked at rank 25 right?

[remote lintel]

iirc yes

[heavy wadi]

Yes

[ripe hound]

Nice

[clear garden]

Could anyone tell me how I could go about joining a "map party"? I have like 5 maps on me

[remote lintel]

party finder

[heavy wadi]

Dalriada is unlocked when you get to r25 and progress the zadnor story

[ripe hound]

kk

Also do I need to complete the Zandor storyline to use extra mettle after R25 to further powerup?

[twilit arch]

yes

[ripe hound]

I see

[heavy wadi]

you need to beat the dalriada once

and finish the story

to unlock the buffs

[ripe hound]

kk

It’s recommended to do Dalriada once even if I’m not ready to do my final Relic step right?

Since I only need to run Dal 5 times for relic

[jade quartz]

First, people only party up if they're the maps that say "eight players recommended", i.e. dragonskin, gazelleskin or zonureskin.
If there's no PF currently up, create your own. Put in the description stuff like how many-ish you intend to do, and whether you want loot rolls to be free-for-all or "map owner need, rest greed".

[ripe hound]

I just got burned so much by the 15 DR run step...

[heavy wadi]

you have to do it to unlock the final relic step, iirc

and dalriada is much more fun anyways

[ripe hound]

Oh

kk thanks

[slate arrow]

@ripe hound fortunately, you only need like, 5 dal runs since it gives 3 per, iirc?

[heavy wadi]

^

DR also drops 2 per run

[ripe hound]

Also is it likely they might nerf the 15 DR run step before Endwalker?

[slate arrow]

no

[ripe hound]

Cries

[heavy wadi]

not before EW, no

[slate arrow]

If they haven't nerfed it now, they certainly won't nerf it before EW

[ripe hound]

I see

Not likely to nerf on 5.57 or 5.58?

[slate arrow]

might do a passthrough like they did with Eureka with a soft nerf either via the echo or boosted mettle gain

But an actual step nerf is unlikely

I still don't even have one relic

[ripe hound]

I see

I want the GNB relic but I really don’t want to run 15 DR again...

[heavy wadi]

you can get all the raw emotions just by doing DR 15 times anyways

[slate arrow]

oh right the one time steps

[sonic folio]

Does the complete edition go on sale often? I just realized that I missed the sale. Was hoping to play something during the wow 9.0 content drought.

[slate arrow]

wheezes, slowly leading into sobbing

[slate arrow]

The next sale will probably be once we're close to EW launch

[heavy wadi]

I mean, the zadnor one time step isn't that bad - most of the stuff you need you get passively while ranking up there

[ripe hound]

Ahhh

Is finding a group to grind high floor POTD viable?

[heavy wadi]

maybe

depends on ur server/time of day

[ripe hound]

Anyone tried?

[heavy wadi]

I haven't, personally hate potd more than DR

[ripe hound]

I’m thinking about finding a semi static

[slate arrow]

I have, got up to like 160 before we had to disband after 2 or so hours

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[ripe hound]

Impressive

[heavy wadi]

DR is easier honestly, you can just turn your brain off.

[outer mural]

same

[slate arrow]

Actually I don't remember the time it took

[ripe hound]

Yeah, it’s just... painful

[heavy wadi]

not really, not anymore

with the buffs it's quicker

[ripe hound]

Hun?

I see

[heavy wadi]

usually sub 30mins

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[outer mural]

DR is also just more consistent

[heavy wadi]

there's plenty of DR speedruns too,

[outer mural]

potd ur luck can just go

[heavy wadi]

can do em under 20mins in those

[ripe hound]

I see

[heavy wadi]

but yeah I

feel the DR pain

i've done it over 70 times

[ripe hound]

Oh my

[brisk rapids]

Do dungeons still give exp when you complete them more than once? Is that also how you lvl different classes?

[remote lintel]

yes

[ripe hound]

Yes

[grim plover]

yo im low level monk but i feel pretty active in buttons vs like ranger or gladiator do other classes become like that or is there a tank that presses lots of shit

[gleaming moon]

any suggestions for leveling 61-70? I dont have HoH unlocked and im a dps (this is alt job)

[slate arrow]

Namely, the final boss is the mob which gives you a crap ton of EXP

[midnight tinsel]

Gunbreaker v

?

[heavy wadi]

unlock hoh?

[slate arrow]

Every job has a lot of buttons, monk just happens to get more of them at a lower level

[remote lintel]

gnb and drk press a lot of shit

[whole wasp]

if you dont have HoH, its just highest dungeon spam

[brisk rapids]

are there classes that you should lvl first before others?

[slate arrow]

no

[whole wasp]

not really

[grim plover]

bard

for music

lol

[brisk rapids]

lol

makes sense

[leaden ginkgo]

where can i start the storm blood side trials?

[slate arrow]

Only one job is required to experience the FFXIV main scenario quest

[whole wasp]

in that case, lvl 30 BRD is enough

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo ruby sea

[midnight tinsel]

A dps for msq imo

[leaden ginkgo]

ty

[remote lintel]

an auspicious encounter

[grim plover]

stopped leveling my pal cause i found out bard only could play music

[midnight tinsel]

Since they are hardest to level through dungeons

[jade quartz]

!quest an auspicious encounter

[zinc orbit]

Images of NPCS by Gamer Escape.

[jade quartz]

gotta do two dungeons as part of the questline too

[heavy wadi]

the dungeons are fun anyways :3

[jade quartz]

Requires MSQ progression to patch 4.2

[brisk rapids]

I just beat leviathan, so how far am i until HW?

[outer mural]

still a fair bit

don't rush urself or else u will end up hating it

[brisk rapids]

i just want to catch up to everyone lol

[remote lintel]

levi is 2.2 iirc

so 3 and a half patches left

[jade quartz]

Take your time, endgame ain't going anywhere

don't wanna burn yourself out

[brisk rapids]

I am enjoying my SMN tho

[heavy wadi]

yeah you have a good uhh

5 months until the next expac

[placid musk]

I have a question just curious, so I boosted the main story quest to Heavensword and i boosted a Dark Knight class to 70. Is the best way to get through the expansion is just focus on the MSQ right?

[remote lintel]

yes

[placid musk]

Alright thanks!

[flat yew]

should you keep your pageantry tomestones or throw them away now that the event is over?

[remote lintel]

theres no reason to keep them

[jovial quarry]

Buy what you want/can afford, throw the rest. It's unlikely that those will be used again.

[twilit arch]

you can't purchase anything with them anymore

pagentry didn't function like the other moogle events, since it was special and for fanfest

[jovial quarry]

Oh even the vendors are gone? Well dang. Yeah throw them out.

[outer mural]

not the channel for that discussion but yes i concur

[heavy wadi]

wrong channel and a bit of a spoiler.

[plain python]

sorry I misclicked the channel 😄

[cinder bolt]

where can i find my mailbox

[outer mural]

if you don't have a house to put one down, then ur only way to get mail is given via post-moogles

one easy tone to find is near the Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre aetheryte in New Gridania

[cinder bolt]

thank u :)

[clear garden]

Are the total deliveries I can make, the limited ones, limited per expansion or limited across the board?

[remote lintel]

across the board

[clear garden]

Fun.

So 6 per character, 12 across the board

If I understood right

[remote lintel]

yes

[slate arrow]

When is the next FFXIV event?

[remote lintel]

in game event?

make it rain in july

[clear garden]

How many total deliveries at max collectibility would it require to to go from start to max, do you reckon? I'm trying to find this info on the wiki but to no avail

[slate arrow]

3/6/6/6/6

so 27

[clear garden]

Ty

so 4.5 weeks for one

So I should be able to get most done by Endwalker, not too bad

[outer mural]

the only one with true tangible rewards is Ehll Tou so if you really care about which to do first, i'd do her

[boreal storm]

Gross

[clear garden]

Alright, ty

Does anyone know the location of this treasure map btw?

Went around all the lakeland treasure map spots but the Dig option isnt revealing anything

[twilit arch]

https://ff14.playguide2.net/1159/#toc_id_2 its B for lakeland map

[clear garden]

Ah, great, thank you

[finite topaz]

Do i have to do PotD from floor 1 to 200 in order to get the achievement, or can i start at 51?

[heavy wadi]

Have to start at floor 1

[halcyon grail]

So the new platinum Bozja coins only drop from Daldriada?

[outer mural]

yes

they drop from zone one CEs as well

and you get 6 for free if you do the weekly for Dalriada + CLL quest

[halcyon grail]

Only zone 1?

[outer mural]

yes

it's very... weird

most certainly bugged

[halcyon grail]

hm

[outer mural]

i might be wrong but when doing day 1 dalriada i, and others, observed it only dropped from a certain zone's CEs

it was 50 mythril coins from zone 1 CEs iirc

someone fact check me

[halcyon grail]

I still need to do zone 1s anyways, so no big deal

[outer mural]

dalriada spam will be oyur best way of getting coins regardless

[gloomy mortar]

How easy is it now to farm Byakko Mane from desynths of Byakko weapons in the trial? They said they increitge drop rate but have seen nobody talk about it

[outer mural]

that's for 6.0 i believe

they're gonna make desynthing the weapons yield one

this is because Byakko and a few other EX trials were supposed to yield a crafting material for the glowy weps on desynth but it was bugged for some reason

they don't do it rn, so it may be a pita to farm

[gloomy mortar]

What about just the drop rate fir byakko mane in the trial?

[outer mural]

i do not know

it is rare as far as i know since you're rolling between everyone else in the instance

in addition to it being not guaranteed every time

[heavy wadi]

The drop rate change came with 5.55

Er well, the desynth fix

[outer mural]

oops

thank u for the correction

[gloomy mortar]

FC is deciding on which trial to do a mount farm, and Byakko is one of them. If the drop rate changed, I may vote for Byakko

[outer mural]

i did not know it already came actually

yeah nevermind needa everything's equally good now since they fixed all the drop rates

pick the one that's good to you, Byakko's a good choice imo

[gloomy mortar]

So any empirical evidence of how easy it is to get now with the desynth fix?

[outer mural]

one weapon desynthed = one mane and they drop every time

so fairly easy if you distribute weapons to everyone

[gloomy mortar]

Ah, thx

[fast talon]

wait is the mane drop guaranteed? i thought it was just increased rate.

or do you mean weapons drop every time.

[outer mural]

there is no increased rate to the mane

[tired rover]

What does a House Placards Devaluation Timer Mean?

[outer mural]

the weapons drop every time

and that means if you get it and desynth it, you get a mane basically

[outer mural]

house plots slowly decrease in value the longer it's been open

they lower down gradually

[tired rover]

So it means nothing in terms of the invisible timer?

[outer mural]

this is INDEPENDENT of when a house will actually be open

yes

[tired rover]

Thought so

had to make sure that didnt change

Thannk!

[outer mural]

yeah

if ur going for a house just spam regardless of plot timer

good luck my friend

[fast talon]

does a higher desynth level give a higher chance to get good stuff?

[tired rover]

I dont need it my friend is doing it

Its been a while since i placard camped and battle auto clickers

battled those with*

32 hours straight and 5 houses, before I got mt first personal

[fast talon]

is buying an FC house different from a personal 'cause i swear my FC bought a house with no waiting around or anything, just an open lot in the middle of the Uldah one. really close to the MB too.

though it was also i think right after they enabled auto-demolish again

[stable herald]

So what's the next best gear for level 80, apart from Tome gear/weap?

and aside from relic

[fast talon]

exarchic

augmented exarchic specifically

and since you didnt mention it, savage gear

and i think Diamond Weapon is the best weapon rn outside of Savage/Tome

[stable herald]

Is diamond weap only available via the Savage diamond weap fight?

how long do you need to get it?

like, how many runs

[boreal storm]

Extreme Diamond weapon, it’s RNG whether your class’s weapon drops or not

[ripe hound]

5 runs

[stable herald]

ohhh

alright..

thanks guys

[twilit arch]

if you're talking about the weapons called "Diamond whatever", those are from o8s

[outer mural]

they mean the Diamond Zeta ones from Diamond Weapon Ex

i think

and yes what Pratai said

[twilit arch]

which is why i'm also clarifying

[outer mural]

excuse me, i see

[twilit arch]

because diamond <wepaon> is not the same weapon as diamond zeta

[outer mural]

there's also the shiva ex ones

[twilit arch]

shiva's got shiva's diamond infront of it so its a little less...confusing

[outer mural]

ye

[stable herald]

I was just thinking about gearing my alt jobs while grinding for relic

Failing that, maybe just something to get for my alts rather than just dungeon gear

[tired rover]

For houseing placard war, has there been a general average going on?

in terms of the invis timer

[outer mural]

it's anywhere between 2 to 24 hours iirc

averages cannot be calculated because it's invisible so we have literally no data to calculate it with

so it is as random and blind as it gets sadly

[tired rover]

When I got my house, the general avg was at least 5 hours in

but I have seen some go in a few hours

and as long as 24+

Just wanted to see if anything changed

[outer mural]

yeah i dunno how one calculates the average there but if u have a valid source then ye

[tired rover]

Just know a whole bunch who got houses and how long the wait was... 🙂

Its not perfect, buts its a start to something no one knows

when msq do i unlock mounts

[remote lintel]

!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.

[grim plover]

what does it mean when my xp bar is green

[remote lintel]

!faq restedexp

[zinc orbit]

Rested Experience FAQ

'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.

[honest anvil]

does "back on your feet" work in savage or ult?

the FC action

[cloud lake]

So just making sure they're not adding any more story till endwalker right?

[junior yacht]

it does, but almost no one uses it

[jovial quarry]

Correct. 5.55 was the last story update until expansion.

[cloud lake]

so if I take a break I should be fine till then right

[heavy wadi]

Yep

[jovial quarry]

Yeah there's nothing major coming until then.

oooh...

no not yet

so it's after ARR

[remote lintel]

yes all relics are after you beat the expansion

[leaden ginkgo]

got it thanks guys

[loud mason]

Hello, myself and a group of friends are returning to ff14. If we wanted to do E1S-E4S for example, does minimum ilvl sync do a good job? Or is it best if we actually grabbed gear around the ilvl from E1S-E4S?

[remote lintel]

dont do minimum ilvl

get the highest ilvl you can

[leaden ginkgo]

dragoons are such edge lords i love it

[loud mason]

Currently we'd be 520 doing E1S that is min ilvl440. Wouldn't that make it very trivial?

Or does iLvl sync kick in?

[remote lintel]

it still wouldnt be trivial because its savage

basically current savage because the next expac hasnt come out yet

but it would be easier

[loud mason]

Got it. I appreciate the answers.

[honest anvil]

but it is with so much extra power, you'll skip so much mechanics though

i520 with 20% echo in e1s

my group skipped the phase transition iirc

[loud mason]

Well you can turn off echo at least. I'm mainly wondering if minimum ilvl does a good job of making it challenging or is it too rough because of the materia not being counted

[remote lintel]

i havent done any of e1-4s at 520 so ill believe you

savage is already challenging so min ilvl would make it moreso yes

[loud mason]

Is it scuffed with materia not counting though? I guess that's my biggest worry

[honest anvil]

there is no ilevel sync psure

[loud mason]

Well, if you enabled min iLvl wouldn't that work the same way ilvl sync does?

[patent jungle]

if i get the shadowbringers collectors edition are the bonus items account wide or one char?

[remote lintel]

account wide

[honest anvil]

min ilevel just makes it so that everyone joining must be at least that ilevel, no? it doesnt force any syncing 🤔

[remote lintel]

min ilvl force syncs you to the min ilvl of the duty

[loud mason]

Yea, ^

[remote lintel]

idk about materia

[loud mason]

I only just read that materia isn't counted

its very confusing

[remote lintel]

@random geyser if you never had a OTP then leave it blank

[little swift]

if you didn't have a one time password you can ignore it

[whole wasp]

leave it blank

[unborn wraith]

where would it be in the msq, im doing the quests at the rising stones

@little swift i cant login or download the game

i cant do anything

when i try to goto my phone to set it up

it askes for a one time password

[fading aurora]

u need to create a token password which gets sent to your email then u link it to the app

[random geyser]

ok so it says this

[fading aurora]

it will ask you to answer a securtiy question

[random geyser]

i have the game

[fading aurora]

but are u curently subbed

[little swift]

and if you don't have it registered you don't need to use it to log in

the token not the game

[random geyser]

im not but i was wanting to download the game not login to the actual game yet

[little swift]

you also need to pay your sub if you want to log in/download

all you can download otherwise is the installer

[random geyser]

ok so when i get to the launcher

[unborn wraith]

uh, i did that one. I just dont know how to get it

[fading aurora]

u wont be able to do much unless u pay the sub

[little swift]

so log in

[unborn wraith]

do you have to go somewhere also?

[little swift]

but don't enter anything for the OTP

[random geyser]

i put my account info and password but i dont have 1 time

[fading aurora]

leave the one time blank

[tired rover]

Whats the keypad numbers you press to do placard signs?

[random geyser]

ffs now its suspended and i have o unlock it

[boreal storm]

Then you probably didn’t use the magitek identification key you got from completing it

[random geyser]

ok so i need a sub to even download the game

seems uh... kinda dumb

[fading aurora]

i mean yeh if u dont havw the game what do u want to download

[fossil cloud]

Is it recommended to do several jobs to be able to fill several roles, or is it normal to just stick with one thing for the leveling process?

[sweet leaf]

whichever suits your taste

[fading aurora]

play what ever u like when ever

[stone spear]

do you need the aesth off hand / main hand in order to craft the highest star stuff

[storm iris]

does healer lb3 reach both ships on the cloud deck extreme?

[fossil cloud]

aah nice, thanks

[little swift]

if you stand on the very edge of the ship

[stone spear]

or can i get away w aesth's crafter gear + handsaints

[fading aurora]

@fossil cloudhealers and tanks will have instant ques almost always , apart from night time when tanks have slow ques but healers are always instant

[little swift]

you lack the CP with handsaints stuff

[fading aurora]

if u want to speed thru stuff

[unborn wraith]

oh thanks, i thought you had to take it somewhere

[storm iris]

but like does it fully cover both ships? or does it barely reach the other one?

[fossil cloud]

Oooh I see, makes sense. Luckily I like to take my time, for now at least 😄

[little swift]

it reachs but not fully, i wanna say like halfway across the other ship

[fading aurora]

during the day ndps ques arent bad ewither so just play what u enjoy

u can switch when ever so pick and choose

[little swift]

but again, circle radius so depending where you stand you can cover more ship

If you need a consistent source of mob materials, use a combat retainer.

the start of the blue mage quests are in Limsa, much later in the story

I have a friend who's in Azim Steppe and keeps dying to the Buduga warriors in the pre Bardam's Mettle quest

Are they in 270 gear minimum

[leaden ginkgo]

is it a gear problem?

[slate arrow]

Yes

They're in NQ gear

[leaden ginkgo]

figures

[slate arrow]

Either buy HQ crafted or Shire gear

[little swift]

270 is already a bit on the low end by like lv63 ish msq

because you get better pieces by then

[slate arrow]

Once they're in 270 HQ or poetics, just make sure to follow the instructions

[little swift]

that doesn't seem to be NQ gear

its looks like HQ msq crafted rewards

@leaden ginkgo which ones are they looking at

They should be going into the main building to the north west of the aetheryte

[leaden ginkgo]

Idyllshire shops

[slate arrow]

there's like, 5

He should be talking to the middle one inside the rowena building in the middle of idyllshire

[pearl wharf]

if they need the 60 gear they can also talk to the blue bag vendor near the ishgard aetheryte

[leaden ginkgo]

since my friend is reaching that dungeon I need to ask

which would be necessary to get depending on what they get in the dungeon?

[pearl wharf]

depends on the class

if theyre healer

get healer gear

[leaden ginkgo]

they're SAM

[pearl wharf]

than they need to get samurai (striking gear)

[leaden ginkgo]

which parts of the striking gear

since like they just need the gear to clear pre Bardam's Mettle quest

[pearl wharf]

upgrade the lowest level items gear first

[pearl wharf]

this doesnt tell me anything

[leaden ginkgo]

sorry

[pearl wharf]

what are the item levels of each individual gear

[worldly ermine]

hover over the items

you'll see the level and stats

[pearl wharf]

shouldnt side quests also have gear?

finish a few side quests and nab yourself level 64 STRIKING gear in The Steppe

[pure zenith]

because egi glamour lets you change them back to carbuncles AND because summon 1 and 2 are shared with arcanist and scholar

!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.

[remote lintel]

@stable herald no

[trail elk]

I was wondering something, so like when the characters have voice acting they call you the warrior of light and refer to you as if you are male aka he/him pronouns for me, does it change if you are a female

[grim plover]

i know what glamor is but doesnt that just change the one specific gear?

[stable herald]

Aite. Thanks!

[jovial quarry]

Yes it does.

[trail elk]

So they voiced every things twice?

[remote lintel]

why would they call you he if you play a female lol

yes

[jovial quarry]

Certain lines, yes.

[trail elk]

No I was wondering with the voice acting

Cause it would be a lot of work

To do everything twice

[remote lintel]

@grim plover you can apply glamour to all your gear

[grim plover]

yea but i mean like if i switch my armor piece will the slot stay the same look

instead of re glamoring

[trail elk]

No

Each piece has its own glamour applied to it

[jovial quarry]

It's by gear piece not by slot. So if you change out, say, your chest piece, the glam goes away too.

[grim plover]

and no way around that?

[trail elk]

Glamour the other piece you have too

If you use a glamour plate you don’t need to keep using glamour crystals

[jovial quarry]

You can make a glamour plate, aka a preset, and reapply it every time you swap out a piece.

[trail elk]

And it’s pretty easy to do so

[grim plover]

does it cost anything

or do i need the gear

[trail elk]

Nope

[vast star]

Wondering if somebody can help me. I play PS4 and am currently playing the starter edition. If I get the Shadow Bringers expansion, does that include the expansion previous to that one? Like Stormblood?

[open coral]

Yes

[jovial quarry]

It costs one glam prism per piece added to the glamour dresser but once the plate is made, they're free and can be used infinitely.

[trail elk]

Once you have a gear and turn it into a glamour plate, it can be applied to any gear at anytime in an inn

[open coral]

The Starter Edition is ARR + HW. Shadowbringers is SB + ShB

[vast star]

Thank you!

[ocean root]

when does sprout icon go away? after a certain amount of hours?

[open coral]

168 hours + complete 4.56

[jovial quarry]

After completing the final quest in the Stormblood patches and 168 total hours of play time.

[boreal storm]

Reach Shadowbringers + have 7 days of playtime

hello i remember there being a button which pins an enemies health no matter who you target but i cant find it

[jovial quarry]

A couple weeks if you shoot straight through?

[dire prawn]

Then

Time to not do post-SB for a couple weeks

[stable herald]

erm, learning SCH as a SMN. Does SCH use Physick?

[shut panther]

Not really beyond when it's the only heal your have available

[stable herald]

what's my bread and butter heal then?

[shut panther]

Your fairy

[stable herald]

But i cant control my fairy, so to speak, right? I see only one or two skills that orders the fairy to directly heal

[shut panther]

Until 30 you use physick if you have to

But that's after going through basically everything else

At 30 you replace physick with adlo in that scenario

[remote lintel]

theres multiple skills that command the fairy

but your bread and butter heals will be the aetherflow ones

until you get like fey blessing at higher levels for aoe

[shut panther]

You might be under the impression you spend most of your time healing, but at low levels your fairy's passive healing will cover almost everything

And then at later levels you get an assortment of instant tools that prevent you from having to hit the gross buttons

[stable herald]

I'm currently level 80 since i got taxi-ed by my SMN

[shut panther]

Then I wouldn't put physick on your bars for anything but sync low level content

[stable herald]

gotcha. thanks

[shut panther]

Basically, the goal of every healer in this game is to spend as little time as possible healing

Mp is mostly a joke if you press lucid, which means efficiency = maximizing healing without using gcds or maximizing the value of gcd heals when forced

Physick is bad at that and adlo isn't much better compared to your other tools

Your other tools have cooldowns so you will occasionally need to use it to get out of a sticky wicket, though

[remote lintel]

physick is garbage

[stable herald]

hmm..

ok, so i'm 80 on the other healers.

Is it possible you guys try to equate SCH heals with that of a WHM?

E.g., I ASSUME, Aetherstack heals are essentially Lilies

[remote lintel]

all healers can perform the same

[stable herald]

but I'm trying to grasp what are the SCH's equivalent to WHM skills, since I'm trying to standardize my keyoard layout

[shut panther]

That's not the worst way of thinking about it, although aetherflow heals are ogcds

[remote lintel]

lustrate, indomitability, excog

emergency tactis + succor

aetherpact, consolation

they have a lot

and sacred soil which is just a better asylum

all healers are almost 1:1 except their class gimmick stuff

[shut panther]

Excog would be roughly used in the same situations as bene although it's a much shorter cooldown, lustrate I would probably hotkey wherever you've got single target Lily

And indom whenever you've got the multi

[leaden ginkgo]

uh how to adjust chatbox again

lmao i cant change the box size i forgot how

[remote lintel]

click and drag the corner

[leaden ginkgo]

ah

thanks i somehow forgot this

[stable herald]

That's the unlock for The Fractal Continuum?

[remote lintel]

yes

[dire prawn]

noice

[scarlet hinge]

Do summoners even use other egis in high end content

[glossy flare]

just garuda and ifrit

[remote lintel]

probably depending on the fight

[glossy flare]

titan is generally... eh

[remote lintel]

garuda for adds

[glossy flare]

good for some solo content

but otherwise

[faint flare]

Burst aoe

In uwu

Titans 1 good use

[grim plover]

yo im lvl 30 gladiator and i did the lvl 30 quest for glad how do i become pld?

[scarlet hinge]

I was in a dungeon and the summoner kep changing his egi and I made a suggestion to just use ifrit since there have not been a lot of mobs

[remote lintel]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my 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.

[grim plover]

wait i need to do a msq

wtf

[cinder bolt]

my friend cant join me in sargantas does anyone know why

[remote lintel]

everything is msq locked

[scarlet hinge]

after that he was flexing his perfect legend title while being an ass

[grim plover]

so dumkb

[outer mural]

sarg might just be full at the time during chracter creation

[faint flare]

Garuda is 3+ mobs

[outer mural]

just keep trying ot try at a later time

[faint flare]

So they're correct

[scarlet hinge]

he pulled out titan

multiple times

[faint flare]

Burst aoe

As I stated

[outer mural]

titan has aoe yeah

[scarlet hinge]

on the boss

[faint flare]

On bosses is bad then

[outer mural]

yeah

but that wasn't part of the mobs conversation right

[scarlet hinge]

I was in sirens dungeon final boss

and he was using it

[faint flare]

Bad use

[outer mural]

yeah he was just not using them right

[leaden ginkgo]

hi guys i got a wyrm set from my msq

[outer mural]

the most optimal use is just ifrit single, garuda at 3+

[leaden ginkgo]

since msq is not repeatable

[outer mural]

to answer ur question

he is noobert

[scarlet hinge]

he was being a dick and the new player was calling him out

[leaden ginkgo]

how can i get the blue armors for other jobs?

[remote lintel]

thats not msq

thats your job quest

[leaden ginkgo]

i got wrym\

[outer mural]

yeah best not to think about it, else it makes you more mad
plus not the place to vent

[leaden ginkgo]

not the drachen

[outer mural]

yes

that is from job quest

[remote lintel]

it shares a model with the lvl 50 job gear

[outer mural]

you get your 45 set then the 50 set

it's weird why they have two sets but it be like that

[leaden ginkgo]

how can i get the 50 set if i already did the msq for one job

how can i get it for the next job

[outer mural]

that is not the msq

that is your job quest

[remote lintel]

you do the job quests for that job

[outer mural]

they are separate

[faint flare]

You do your job quests

[outer mural]

hence the name, job quests

[leaden ginkgo]

it has meteor though....

[faint flare]

The gear is from job questd

[leaden ginkgo]

it has a meteor circle

i got it from a chest

[outer mural]

you are misunderstanding where you got the armor then

[leaden ginkgo]

given by the msq

[remote lintel]

just do the lvl 50 job quest for that job, theyre the same model

[outer mural]

unless i am just

[leaden ginkgo]

it has different effects tho

[outer mural]

also incredibly wrong

[leaden ginkgo]

drachen and wrym

[remote lintel]

what effects

[outer mural]

it doesn't? artifact armor doesn't have particles

[leaden ginkgo]

i meant stats

[remote lintel]

doesnt matter when you should have ironworks at that point anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

im just worried i think ill miss out the blue equip for the other jobs

[faint flare]

And they share the same.visual model

You wont

[remote lintel]

you wont

you just

[faint flare]

Cause it's from JOB quests

[remote lintel]

do job quests

[leaden ginkgo]

here's the wyrm one from msq

[faint flare]

Again

It's not msq

[remote lintel]

and the i90 set can be traded from the antique items

[leaden ginkgo]

here's the one from job quest

[wet grotto]

Do clan marks/hunts disappear?

[faint flare]

They're both from job quests

[outer mural]

this is not MSQ

[faint flare]

The i45 gear is from your lv45 job quests

[outer mural]

double dragoon gives the rest

[faint flare]

The i90 gear is from your 50 job quest

[outer mural]

you are conflating the msq quest with the job quest. as we said earlier, job quest are where you get your class-specific artifact armor

you will get them from doing job quests for other jobs

[leaden ginkgo]

is it? im confused guys. ive only been doing the quests with the meteor icon

[remote lintel]

clearly you havent

[outer mural]

you're probably misremembering then

[faint flare]

You haven't

Because job quests are also extremely mandatory

[outer mural]

are you confused because the job quests are also on the MSQ guide

[remote lintel]

none of the job gear is from msq

[leaden ginkgo]

so it means i can still have the level 50 armour for other jobs?

[remote lintel]

yes

[outer mural]

correct

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

whew

[outer mural]

just do the job quests on other classes

[faint flare]

Nothing is missable

[leaden ginkgo]

i thought i already spent it on the dragoon

thanks guys

[outer mural]

nope

[leaden ginkgo]

this set is so dope u guys

this is giving me ff3 flashbacks

is there any way for me to get high level jewelry as a free trial user?

[faint flare]

Ironworks with poetics

[leaden ginkgo]

my average is low because of the jewelry

[faint flare]

In every slot

[remote lintel]

ironworks is way better than the job gear

[faint flare]

I130

[leaden ginkgo]

noob af here, how does that work?

[faint flare]

Your ilvl will double

[outer mural]

the vendor for it can be found in any of the 3 city states
easiest one imo is the one in ul'dah

[faint flare]

Do lv50 content

[remote lintel]

you earn poetics at lvl 50

[faint flare]

Get poetics

Buy gear

[outer mural]

poetics are a currency you get access to at 50

[remote lintel]

you trade poetics for ironworks

[outer mural]

yeah what they said

[faint flare]

You get enough to buy a weapon after doing castrum and praeotirum

[leaden ginkgo]

i should google and go to ironworks?

[faint flare]

Sundry splendors in main cities

[remote lintel]

you get ironworks from mor dhona

or from main cities

[outer mural]

easiest one is in ul'dah

go to ul'dah, exit main plaza, turn left

person is right there for poetics gear

[leaden ginkgo]

they just straight up sell them?

[outer mural]

for poetics yes

very nice menu

[leaden ginkgo]

ahh i need poetics

those are currencies?

[outer mural]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

oooh

google says i get poetics from daily duties

[vernal urchin]

you get poetics for completing level 50 duties, like dungeons, trials, or the crystal tower alliance raids

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont see it in the prize list?

[vernal urchin]

and you can get them from the duty roulette

[faint flare]

If you already got your daily rewards you won't get it again today

[outer mural]

check your roulettes
you must do it on a level 50 or above class

and yes what vinyl said as well

[faint flare]

Just doing any lv50 content gives them

[leaden ginkgo]

for some reason i only have this one

[faint flare]

Which you'll get access to alot after castrum and praeotirum
