https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:The_Warring_Triad

[leaden ginkgo]

[dire prawn]

Yes

[green grail]

the trial you want is in the quest "A Fiendish Likeness"

so you have to do everything in the chain up to that

[leaden ginkgo]

ok sec

[limber linden]

I brought the game on steam I tried making my account and it gave me a i205 error when trying to enter confirmation code. where do I go to enter that code again? because i try to sign in to enter the code and i cant. try new account and i cant because same email

[dire prawn]

You press F and wait 24 hours for your email to be usable again

[limber linden]

WAIT ACTUALLY

[leaden ginkgo]

are u sure i dont have to beat heaveansward first?

[green grail]

you do

if you open that first quest on the gamerescape page you can see requirements: heavensward

(so the last quest of the base expansion)

[warm snow]

EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

[dire prawn]

[warm snow]

Yes

[warm snow]

So you can play tracks in your house or inn room

[leaden ginkgo]

but thanks for that

damn that scroll expensive to me im noob hi

[fickle tree]

I accidentally bought an item exclusive for male characters in the FFXIV store, but my character is female. Would the support center be able to swap the item for its female counterpart?

[leaden ginkgo]

idk if they would do that but maybe a refund all together

[fickle tree]

are items refundable?

[hot eagle]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

ehhhhh idk i think it strongly depends right

like if u havent used it yet it can be refunded right?

[halcyon tulip]

If its an old event item you might be able to exchange it ingame at calamity salvager iirc

[fickle tree]

It's the Black-feathered Flat Hat

[leaden ginkgo]

this game is so long so many quests..... so far behind....

[stable hinge]

I'm trying to blacklist someone but it says subcommands unavailable

any way around that?

[leaden ginkgo]

[limber linden]

[dire prawn]

[limber linden]

since I got an error and even tho I have the code I cant type it agian

[faint flare]

Hotbar help in character configuration > hotbar > cross

[limber linden]

fuck it

im creating a new email

[dire prawn]

It's going to also fail

[limber linden]

you jest

[barren granite]

GM, QQ. When planting crops, do i need to fertilize trhem once in the beginning and thats it ?

and then tend daily ?

[dire prawn]

I went through five emails in one night and they all failed when I was trying to create a free trial account

[limber linden]

It'll work for me

copium

[opal swan]

Can you start as astrologian? Like when you unlock it later on does it appear on character creation as one of the jobs?

[faint flare]

No

Unlocks are character dependant

[dire prawn]

No

[faint flare]

For everything

Nothing is shared between characters except account mounts

[opal swan]

thx

[proud willow]

Fertilizer is entirely optional

[barren granite]

oo

[limber linden]

is fishing good

[buoyant sorrel]

For e10s the healer/dps groups need to take the orange orbs as a stack or spread? It seems kinda hard to spread when the jumping shadows spawn 🤔

[barren granite]

best

[faint flare]

Orange orbs are 3 people stacks

So 2 sets of 3 people with tanks away taking their own purple orbs

[buoyant sorrel]

and the usual strat is group 1 goes left most and group 2 right?

[faint flare]

It's the smartest...no idea what stupid shit PF does

[buoyant sorrel]

Truu

[oak ice]

Enough mitigation and you can ignore the jumping doggos. Not advisable when pugging

[warm snow]

Even if you survive an orange orb with 2 people they both get a damage down

[barren granite]

how can i choose 1 off a stack of items ?

cntl / alt / Tab - none work

[green grail]

right click and split

[barren granite]

ah thanks

[gloomy mortar]

Is the Menohina earring better than level 520 or 530 ?

[shut panther]

No

It's 430 equivalent

[gloomy mortar]

😮

[shut panther]

It's bis while leveling, but completely eclipsed at 80

[gloomy mortar]

How do the stats work? I presume it isn’t a lvl 430 stats that you can wear on a lvl 1 character

[faint flare]

It scales based on your level

[oak ice]

The stats are automatically synced to your level

[faint flare]

It basically auto syncs itself

[gloomy mortar]

Scale how? Better than green or pink?

[faint flare]

Equal stats to other gear of that level

[oak ice]

If you're, say, level 50, it's gonna sync itself to i130

[gloomy mortar]

What if you’re 30? Just 30?

[oak ice]

Whatever the item sync is at 30, yes

[gloomy mortar]

🍡

[tough wolf]

I'm a returning player. I played through to the end of Shadowbringers and have most DoW max. What I don't know, is which classes (particularly tanks) play well with controller. I stopped playing PC entirely and now have a ps5. I know I can plug in M&K but I don't want to. I want to try using controller; I recognise ALL classes will be playable as the game is built with controller in mind, but to ease back into the game I'm wondering what your recommendations are for the more controller-friendly classes? Thank you.

[dire prawn]

All of them do

[tough wolf]

So all of them are as easy as each other?

[dire prawn]

Dancer is absolutely stupid levels of easy on controller

[gloomy mortar]

I’ve found that at level 80, all tanks have more useful moves than there are buttons on the controller. That said, Dark Knight I’ve found to be the easiest

[dire prawn]

But then again Dancer is stupid levels of easy period

[faint flare]

You can hotkeys everything easily so it doesn't change anything

[dire prawn]

No job has 48 buttons

[faint flare]

Controller isn't a excuse

[tough wolf]

Obviously, I intend to gradually be really comfortable on controller, I just want some direction for the most "pick up and play" class.

Will have a play on dancer

[gloomy mortar]

You have to take your hand off the controller, look down at the keyboard, press the button, then move hand back to controller. In fast action, this is unwieldy.

[faint flare]

No you dont

[gloomy mortar]

Yes you do

[faint flare]

No

[gloomy mortar]

Yes

[faint flare]

Use the controller hotbar

That's what it's there for

For using skills via controller

How do you think console players use skills

[dire prawn]

You don't need to touch a keyboard at all

[gloomy mortar]

Double tapping the right button to cycle through to another hot bar is also unwieldy

[faint flare]

You don't need to hotbar cycle

[dire prawn]

If I can watch somebody play White Mage in The Tower At Paradigm's Breach and do the Eden raids on controller you can do it on controller

There's people who do the Ultimate raids on controller

[faint flare]

You have the extended hotbar (hold both triggers) and the wxhb hotbars (double tap a trigger) for no hotbar swapping

I double weave everything easily on controller

And my ogcds are on another hotbar

So no, get good

[shut panther]

To be fair one could probably play whm at high level with donkey Konga drums

[dire prawn]

Probably true

[gloomy mortar]

Best solution is to get a controller with extra buttons. No need for extra hot bars @tough wolf

[faint flare]

All jobs need 3 hotbars

[warm snow]

I've done both

[dire prawn]

This is a fucking terrible solution

[faint flare]

You can hotkeys everything easily on controller

[dire prawn]

You have access to 48 skills on controller with two buttons

[faint flare]

There is no excuse

[barren granite]

get one of these and make your own controller 🙂

[dire prawn]

Why the fuck would you use more buttons

Actually

The extra buttons wouldn't even work

They wouldn't appear in the controller calibration

[gloomy mortar]

Try Microsoft wireless and Razer make good controllers with extra buttons. @tough wolf 💡

[faint flare]

Stop

Offering bad advice

[dire prawn]

You mean extra buttons that won't work?

[faint flare]

If you don't use controller stop offering advice

[gloomy mortar]

They work, I use it

[warm snow]

Just practice using the double shoulder button hotbars and you can honestly cover 90% of your jobs

[barren granite]

cant you map actions to buttons ?

[gloomy mortar]

Stop swearing

[shut panther]

Why would you need extra buttons the game is literally designed for PlayStation controller

[warm snow]

Ew dualshock...

But yeah, if you don't like the double tap, the l+r hotbars should be enough for most jobs

[dire prawn]

It is

The most individual skills I'm aware of at the moment is 29

[faint flare]

I only slap my role skills on double tap

[warm snow]

I have hotbar 1 for single targets, hotbar 2 for aoe, and hotbar 4 for the l+r hotbars

[shut panther]

What's the alternative, Xbox 360 controller?

[tough galleon]

Hey Guys, i just started the game and wanted to buy the Black Mage Lvl 70 bundle. Has anyone here have any experience with these Bundles on how they are applied etc? Thanks

[faint flare]

You get an item

Use it. You're 70

[warm snow]

I have hotbar 3 on double tap but it's mostly utility stuff like limit break and pots

[shut panther]

You don't really want to do that, you'll have to do msq anyway

[faint flare]

You get some gear mailed to you

[gloomy mortar]

Xbox wireless controller is good

[faint flare]

Your story isn't progressed

[shut panther]

Unless you also buy a story skip, which is.. also not recommended

[faint flare]

So you need to do that while you realised you wasted money

[warm snow]

Wouldn't recommend it tbh as you'll just get dumped at 70 with no idea how to play your job

[tough galleon]

ok fair enough haha

[shut panther]

Not like you get taught how to play a high level black mage while leveling

[tough galleon]

is there anything worth buying in the Online store for beginners then or is it just cosmetics?

[dire prawn]

BLM in particular is probably the worst job to skip

[warm snow]

I use a switch controller on pc, 360 would work too, dualshock 4 just feels flimsy and I don't like the joystick placement

[faint flare]

It's all cosmetic

[dire prawn]

Just cosmetic

[tough galleon]

ok thanks

[dire prawn]

I use Dualshock 4 and it's just fine

[tough galleon]

I saw some BLM videos with the like attack rotations and the compass thinggy but i really struggle with it thus far

[warm snow]

No pay2win here

[shut panther]

I don't understand how people can like offset sticks, but too each their own

[tough galleon]

@warm snow haha i guess its good in a way

[dire prawn]

What isn't fine is one of my controllers having dogshit battery life

[tough galleon]

to get blackmage legit i have to level my thraumaturge to 30 right?

or something like that

[warm snow]

Yes

[faint flare]

That's the whole point of levelling, you learn

[dire prawn]

For some people Xbox's offset joystick layout is actually better and more comfortable than Sony's Dualshock layout

[dire prawn]

Yes

[faint flare]

You're introduced to stuff slowly

[warm snow]

We recommend levelling normally to learn stuff at a decent pace

[dire prawn]

Thaumaturge to 30, MSQ to Lv 20 Sylph-management

[tough galleon]

what is MSQ?

[faint flare]

Story

It's mandatory

[gloomy mortar]

I have both the Xbox wireless and the wired Razer Tournament controller. Both good

[warm snow]

EVERYTHING in this game is locked behind main story progress

[kindred vapor]

Free trial here, should i wait for the next expansion to avoid purchasing shadowbringers? I can wait till noviembre if that's the case

November

[warm snow]

I mean yeah, but you'll also need to buy the base game

[shut panther]

If the game goes on sale again the net cost might be the same

[dire prawn]

This is recommended yes

[shut panther]

Otherwise you can wait to save the money

[tough galleon]

ok thanks for all the help im still kind of overwhelmed with everything, i just bouoght the complete bundle today after playing the free trial for like 4 days on ps5

[faint flare]

If you want to save 40$ you need to wait

[warm snow]

You won't actually get Shadowbringers and stormblood with the preorder since they come with endwalker

So you won't get them til November

[dire prawn]

You won't get them period since the preorder is just Endwalker

[kindred vapor]

Yeah sure, im expecting a full edition version

[warm snow]

Nope

[shut panther]

Theoretically you could pre-order endwalker and get the earring now? But not unlock SB/shb until November

[warm snow]

That's where you're wrong kiddo

Preorder is the same as an Endwalker purchase once its out for real

[faint flare]

Complete edition should be updated when endwalker releases

[shut panther]

Endwalker unlocks SB/shb... Just not until it releases

[warm snow]

Because letting someone own Endwalker without shadowbringers and stormblood would be completely pointless

[kindred vapor]

Im expecting to buy a full edition version when endwalker comes out, i hope it includes 4.0 and 5.0

[warm snow]

Probably can't redeem pre order bonuses on a trial account

[warm snow]

It's all a linear story so it will

[dire prawn]

Complete Edition includes all expansions currently out so it will when Endwalker drops

When Endwalker hits the Complete Edition will be updated to include it

[warm snow]

There's only ever 2 actual purchases you can make: base game and the dlc.

Dlc includes all expansions not included with the base game

Once a new expansion comes out it replaces the old dlc purchase. Preordering the expansion will be the same as purchasing it as dlc so it will include all expansions

[west snow]

Whats the best and easiest class for a beginner?

[warm snow]

Any of them are reasonably accessible

Tanks in particular are very simple

[west snow]

I can choose between Disciples of war and of magic

[astral bolt]

Ah. Gladiator and Marauder are tanks

[warm snow]

Gladiator and marauder have very simple rotations

[west snow]

is Lancer or archer good? i like theyr armor

[warm snow]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[warm snow]

Just get that out of the way

All jobs are good

If you like how the jobs gear looks go with thay

You can always change later

[astral bolt]

Apparently Lancer is very tanky for a DPS class, against physical

[west snow]

so lancer is a good pic?

[warm snow]

They're all equally good

Lancer becomes dragoon

[astral bolt]

You can get every job once you reach lv 10

[warm snow]

Gladiator becomes paladin

[west snow]

U guys have to know i cant decide lol

[warm snow]

Arcanist becomes summoner

Conjurer becomes white mage

[astral bolt]

And lv15 to access the cities

[warm snow]

Marauder becomes warrior

[trail elk]

I’ve seen people have like this super saiyan aura thing in game, how do you get that

[true jolt]

say, do you want a job that have rigid 100% same rotation or a bit flexible with rng?

[agile laurel]

mogstation emote, probably.

[warm snow]

Warrior has it as long as they have gauge

[true jolt]

100% mogstation, i know that emote

[west snow]

1st Im originally from WoW

[agile laurel]

tbh there's any number of things it could be - if you had anything more specific

[astral bolt]

I chose arcanist because it's 2 in 1 deal

[warm snow]

Another one

Do you want to melee, ranged, or magic?

[west snow]

meele or magic

i really dislike range overall

[astral bolt]

Isn't magic ranged technically?

[gloomy mortar]

Yes

[west snow]

kinda lol

but mage sounds cool in FFXIV

[warm snow]

Okay

Do you want to sword and shield
Be angry with an axe
Punch shit
Stab shit
Shoot fire
Sic a carbuncle On your enemies
Or throw rocks

[agile laurel]

well if you go for any ranged physical, i.e. dnc mch or brd, you're in for a BM hunter deal of zero cast times

if you go for a caster you're in for essentially the opposite

some casters are more punished for unnecessary movement than others, but

[west snow]

stab or shoot fire

sounds amazing

[true jolt]

thaumaturge (BLM) for fire or lancer (Dragoon for stab

[agile laurel]

yeah, blm is fun but with the caveat of probably the more painful leveling experience

[astral bolt]

Black mage is the most stationary of them all

[warm snow]

This is just your starting job you can change whenever

[agile laurel]

black mage will require not a lot of movement, and you to frequently analyse your actions for changes in your rotation as you level, to avoid being ass

[true jolt]

black mage change rotation every 10 level to the point i lose my braincell everytime i sent to different expansion dungeon lol

[west snow]

kk is black mage the Thaummaturge?

[agile laurel]

yes

[warm snow]

Yeah

[true jolt]

thaumaturge will become BLM at lvl30

[gloomy mortar]

I find lancer easier than mage because you don’t have to remain stationary. You can attack while moving

[warm snow]

The starter classes upgrade to proper jobs at level 30, provided you have enough main story progress

[west snow]

okok

[astral bolt]

Do you guys have a seperate hotbar to store obsolete skills and swap around during level sync?

[west snow]

u dont have to wear the "Job" armor right?

[true jolt]

like cure !? 😆

[barren granite]

does SAM ever get to use another weapon in offhand ?

[dire prawn]

No

[true jolt]

no, after you unlock glamour system you can go wear anything that is not class restricted

[warm snow]

A warning for the wow refugee.
This is a final fantasy game first mmo second and EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

[astral bolt]

You get them at a lv 45-50 quest

[true jolt]

the only combat job have offhand is paladin

and its pain few patch ago where shield and sword drop separately lol

[astral bolt]

I'm a GW2 refugees. I hate your glamour system

[west snow]

ok ok like in wow u get F*cked all time in the *ss with everything

[trail elk]

You can also be a grasshopper if u choose lancer

[dire prawn]

You'll get job armor at 45 and then better job armor at 50 which you should absolutely wear until you get enough poetics to upgrade to Augmented Ironworks

[barren granite]

paladin ok cool

[trail elk]

I swear it’s fun

[west snow]

ight tyty

to the Glamour system is like Tmog?

[warm snow]

Kinda

[west snow]

Transmog*

[warm snow]

There's restrictions

[true jolt]

worse transmog some people say (which is true :v)

[west snow]

xD

[warm snow]

Youre glamour is still locked to job restrictions and you can't glamour shit above the items level/your level

[astral bolt]

I have no ideas how transmog works

[warm snow]

You can't make shit look better than it is

[trail elk]

Imo dragoon armor looks the coolest

That shit is so iconic

[true jolt]

afaik in wow after you unlock something, its permanently unlocked even after you throw the gear away

meanwhile in ff: WHEN GLAM DRESSER EXPANSION SMH

[astral bolt]

So exactly like GW2 transmutation?

[trail elk]

Cant you already put stuff in the glamour dresser and use it whenever you want

[warm snow]

Lads

#general-discussion

[west snow]

Its like u get a Sword which looks ass but has BiS stats, but u previously unlocked a BIG *ss sword which looks amazing so u can go to a Transmogifier which will put the cool unlocked "skin" on the new wep for some ingame currency

[warm snow]

You can make gear look like other gear yes

[trail elk]

Well the glamours are free atleast

[west snow]

POG

[trail elk]

You can put them on whenever

[astral bolt]

I'm swimming in glamour prism equivalent in GW2, and they don't take up inventory shot

[frosty wave]

As a WAR should you ever be looking to use onslaught as an ogcd source of damage? or is that a DPS loss since you're delaying your fell cleave/decimate?

[trail elk]

Why is inventory space even a thing

Both my retainers are already full

[warm snow]

Because unlimited inventory in an mmo is unfeasible

[trail elk]

I got no space left

Having unlimited inventory will literally not change anything except the motivation to buy extra retainers

[astral bolt]

I just bought the starter version+ shadow bringers, where do I hire a retainer?

[warm snow]

Changes how much data a character takes up

[gloomy mortar]

If you have the ability to make an alt, use the alt to store items @trail elk

[warm snow]

!faq retainer

[zinc orbit]

Retainer Guide

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

[true jolt]

go to starter city, go to their marker area, find "retainer vocate"

[west snow]

What u thing BLM or lancer (Dragoon) whats easier? lol

[warm snow]

Lancer

[west snow]

Lancer it is ty

[trail elk]

BLM

Imo

[gloomy mortar]

You’re Welcome! 🍻

[warm snow]

Lancer is simpler

Have fun

[trail elk]

You rotate between ice and fire

The most simple of the dps mages

[true jolt]

rotation wise blm is simpler but in a fight where you need to adjust position for mechanics it become harder since you need to decide, finish cast or eat that dmg

[trail elk]

Imo

[hard aurora]

Black Mage requires good positioning and moving as little as possible.

[astral bolt]

I find summoner easier than BLM :|

[warm snow]

#general-discussion

[west snow]

imma just try it out lul

[patent citrus]

you guys reckon if you guys given opportunity to register for the dalriada and critical engagement? which one is better for leveling in terms of exp wise?

[west snow]

Thanks guys 🙂

[hard aurora]

Enjoy!

[warm snow]

Dal

[trail elk]

Dragoon just got too much shit to keep track of

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[warm snow]

Dal is 3.3 million mettle for a clear

[trail elk]

There’s literally 2 paragraphs of text for just one move

[warm snow]

Plus all the drops along the way

[hard aurora]

Dragoons can jump really high though

[trail elk]

On one of the dragoon moves

[patent citrus]

I see

yeah, I guess i'll go for the currency

[trail elk]

But early game

Tanks are definitely the easiest

To use

[patent citrus]

anything is easy if you enjoy playing it (in my opinion)

so make sure you enjoy the process, it's all about that

[hard aurora]

Annnd, everything is balanced tbh

so enjoy everything, literally!

[trail elk]

I mean the skill ceiling is gona be different for every job though

Even if you enjoy one more than the other

[patent citrus]

hardest thing is to login and you just forced to play what you don't like just for the sake of efficiency

this is not a job!!

[trail elk]

I can never choose a main

So I just play whatever I feel like playing

And level everything

[hard aurora]

i often switch between black mage, machanist, dark knight, etc lol

its fun

[trail elk]

Cant enjoy healers though

Tried it multiple times

[warm snow]

Lads #general-discussion

[frosty wave]

well technically it is a job. Just a different kind of job

[frosty wave]

anyways since my question got eaten away I wanna bump it

[true jolt]

in rotation i saw at the balance discord, you use it during inner release window but idk if you should use it outside that

[barren granite]

QQ: im using the Alarm command and trying to see if we can bind it to an Action ... like if a Duty Pops up the Alarm will go off... is this possible

[patent citrus]

no

[warm snow]

!skill onslaught

[zinc orbit]

**Onslaught** : lvl 62 WAR (20 Beast Gauge) (10.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Rushes target and delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Beast Gauge Cost: 20
Cannot be executed while bound.

Powered by XIVAPI

[trail elk]

Someone should do a kratos cosplay as a warrior

That would look dope

[warm snow]

Use it during inner release for the dps, but it's not worth the gauge outside of it. Ofc use it when you need a gap closer tho

[true jolt]

guide i found in the balance

[frosty wave]

yeah the gap closer makes sense

[warm snow]

Yeah, war gets the best burst but the worst gap closer

[true jolt]

personally using tank gap closer for maximazing dmg is savage+ content though. i never have problem at extreme. idk at savage level

[frosty wave]

at least it's on a short CD. Meanwhile DRGs gotta cry cuz their gap closer is like 60-90s CD (don't remember which exactly)

[warm snow]

More damage is more damage, good habits are always good to form even for casual content

[trail elk]

GNB got a ton of gap closers

By which I mean 2

[true jolt]

which pld and drk also have two?

[warm snow]

All tanks have 2 charges on the gap closer, except war

[trail elk]

I don’t remember having gap closers as PLD

[celest crest]

Can I turn my marauder into a samurai later in the game?

[true jolt]

lvl74

[frosty wave]

the pld closer is a ShB thing

[trail elk]

Yea that’s far off

[patent citrus]

yeah, you can be anything

@celest crest You may change into literally anything at around msq 10 or smthing

[trail elk]

Basically upon unlock

[warm snow]

If you own the dlc

[frosty wave]

so basically....

[true jolt]

dlc job have level reqiurement though

[frosty wave]

besides WAR every tank has 2 gap closer charges and they don't cost a secondary resource?

[hard aurora]

Yea thats true

[warm snow]

Exactly

[frosty wave]

yikes

at least WAR's gap closer has 10s CD

so you can throw it out whenever and still have it ready when you need it

[dusky nebula]

can you get Resshi Attire in-game? or is it only purchasable from the store

[warm snow]

Store only

[dusky nebula]

also is it class locked

[warm snow]

Cosmetics aren't class locked afaik

[graceful kestrel]

How can I go to there?

I want to change class to Rouge

[patent citrus]

finish lv 10 job quest and msq

[graceful kestrel]

my main job quests?

[warm snow]

I can see that you're behind on your job quests

[graceful kestrel]

like this ?

[warm snow]

They're the ones at the bottom of the msq tracker in your top left

[faint flare]

Yes those

[warm snow]

That's the level 5 one

[patent citrus]

these 2 in circle, finish them both

[faint flare]

Your job quests are also mandatory

[warm snow]

You need to do the level 10 one to unlock job switching

[graceful kestrel]

ok thank you

[warm snow]

Job quests > main story > everything else

[patent citrus]

if you ever get lost*, see your MSQ tracker and make sure both of these are finished

[graceful kestrel]

my msq is at level 11 now

it's On to the Drydocks

but my job quests is at lv 5

[warm snow]

Job quests also give skills so if you skip them you're actively staying weak

[graceful kestrel]

Ok ty

till over job quest to unlock right?

[warm snow]

?

Till?

[graceful kestrel]

Nothing

Thanks

Hello I need help downloading the game after purchase. I seem to not receiving the instructions.

[peak night]

Is there an ETA on datacenter travel?

[faint flare]

Before endwalker

Only thing official said

[strange notch]

"Download and installation instructions" not giving me the link

[peak night]

👌 nice thought it was after endwalker

[faint flare]

But guesstimated with 5.57/5.58 in July/August

[strange notch]

This is all I see when looking at instructions for download: Please note: The registration code included in this version is not compatible with the Steam version of FINAL FANTASY XIV Online. To play on Steam, please buy the Steam version of the game once it becomes available.

[dusky nebula]

so can i press the numbers or keys on the numpad to activate skills? idk it just feels easier

[faint flare]

!faq download

[zinc orbit]

Download FFXIV

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/

[dusky nebula]

@strange notch there are 2 versions the windows and the steam one. you need to buy the game on steam if you bought a key from a third party website it won't work on steam

just to let you know

[strange notch]

NoI brought it from ff14 official website

[patent citrus]

yeah but you have to re-bind it. Type /keybind and see if it's better for you

[faint flare]

They didn't bUy on stean

It goes in here

Login with your account

[strange notch]

What a shitshow this is, no link, no instructions, just the key and that is it....

[dusky nebula]

you should just login and activate it

[strange notch]

I activate it, all I get is a key, nothing else...

[dusky nebula]

so did you buy the game or not i am confused

[faint flare]

When you log into the trial launcher they mean

[hard aurora]

It’s pretty simple in retrospect?

[strange notch]

I did buy it, but I received nothing else except for the key.

[hard aurora]

I just bought it, activated it on mogstation and well

downloaded and played it

[dusky nebula]

as it should be

[strange notch]

I go no link to mogstation

I got no link to client

[faint flare]

It's your account

[hard aurora]

Mogstation is a site - search it up

[faint flare]

Or click the link here

[hard aurora]

You can handle all account stuff from there

[dusky nebula]

mogstation is the ff14 site where you buy the game, expansionns and game time

all your account info is there

[strange notch]

So you buy the game and you have to cyper how to use the key ? Are there any instructions at all?

[dusky nebula]

not sure i bought it on steam and they told me exactly what to do

[strange notch]

Everything that I see...

[dusky nebula]

wait a minute

where did you buy the game

[faint flare]

What did you buy exactly

[hard aurora]

I have no idea where you bought this.

[dusky nebula]

there is only one place where you can buy it

[strange notch]

https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/

[faint flare]

And what exactly did you buy

Exact name

[hard aurora]

^ this is super important

[dusky nebula]

have you even looked at your mail?

[sleek needle]

excuse me, what was that command for shaders?

[faint flare]

Don't think we have one

[sleek needle]

hmm could've sworn i saw one

was 2-3 ones with easy install?

[strange notch]

Well I used this to buy the game https://square-enix-games.com/en_GB/home, I didnt receive any instructions or that I need to go to mogstation to create an account there as well.

[sleek needle]

yea its pretty unclear imo, but you can log into your account on mogstation and add the code there

[strange notch]

I will refund this given the shitshow that the website is and try again later...

[sleek needle]

dont need to make a new account

[strange notch]

This is ALL I got.

nothing else

no further instructions no further links

[hard aurora]

is the instructions button not a link

[faint flare]

And the button doesn't do anything

[strange notch]

This is what button does

[sleek needle]

nah the page is shit when you buy it

[strange notch]

so I have nothing to go off here outside of random links which you guys shared......

[sleek needle]

you have to kinds figure it out yourself

[strange notch]

LOL

[hard aurora]

mogstation / steam wouldve been better, rip

[strange notch]

just use steam everyone.............

[hard aurora]

you have my condolences

[sleek needle]

Well, you add the code to mogstation

but it's very unclear

[strange notch]

it doesn't mention mogstation anywhere, not even once

Feels like im getting scammed

[alpine shadow]

Did you have an account previously?

In FFXIV

or did you just recently buy it?

[strange notch]

I bought it today

with an older account

[dusky nebula]

he just bought it, you ian't getting scammed you can still refund it

you can't refund if you activate it

which we are trying to help you with

[patent citrus]

you can't refund if you open the activationkey which he has

[dusky nebula]

he did?

[strange notch]

LOL

[dusky nebula]

aigt

then just put it in

[alpine shadow]

I am not sure what the original issue is.

[dusky nebula]

and play

[patent citrus]

I don't understand, when i register mine it was pretty straight forward

but you making it sounds hard

[alpine shadow]

Pretty straightforward if you have ever once touched mogstation, but when just starting out you don't touch the mogstation at all.

usually the link to mogstation is also linked in the launcher, but it's not obvious to go when you aren't there.

[sleek needle]

well new players havent touched mogstation

and the instructions doesn't mention it

[strange notch]

So I bough the game and saw this

that is all

[alpine shadow]

and you have the key?

[strange notch]

yea

[alpine shadow]

!faq mogstation

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Mog Station

FFXIV Mog Station link

[alpine shadow]

go there

[strange notch]

yea in there now I guess

[sleek needle]

but we're telling you now, gotta go to mogstation and enter it there

[slim spindle]

Any blu mage in light available to help me get the missile spell?

[strange notch]

as in 'Upgrade' ?

[sleek needle]

your account > enter code

(cant remember what the button was named as i cant see it now but ought to be something like that)

[strange notch]

This is so convoluted for no reason.

[sleek needle]

yea agreed

would've been so easy to just add a link to mogstation and tell people to enter it there

[strange notch]

Well, mogsation and square enix are 2 separate accounts as well

[sleek needle]

oh found this btw, was a pinned post and not a command

mogstation is same one as FF one, which you can use to log onto square enix with

but square enix also has a "general" one which isnt same acc

[strange notch]

Is there a download form mogstation?

[alpine shadow]

No

!faq download

You can find that in the lodestone iirc.

hidden somewhere...

[barren granite]

are there ant items that shrink or change race ?

[proud willow]

There's nothing that does that temporarily

there is an appearance change potion in the cash shop. You get one as a quest reward at level 50 too

[barren granite]

that can change race too ?

or jsut a haircut :>

[proud willow]

Total appearance change, like going through character creation from scratch

(except your name)

[barren granite]

ok that works

ya i did his quest, pretty fun

when he styles his brother i dies laughing

got to give it to the writers of thesxe quests ... thdey good

[drowsy maple]

what buttom for Auto run? ^^

[frosty wave]

what's more optimal for leveling dps jobs? Fates, POTD or dungeon spam?

[faint flare]

Potd if ques are 15mins + for dungeons

[warm snow]

And provided you have potd unlocked past floor 50

[strange notch]

Well either way

That $7 was a waste anyways for the starter pack as free trial gives you everything that starter pack does

[faint flare]

No its not...it's required to use shadowbringers code

[opaque fiber]

Does EW trailer have spoilers for 5.4+?

[graceful kestrel]

Hey, I just unlocked rogue's guild, I used rogue's weapon but I'm without gear

where can I buy gear? 😄

[barren granite]

what lv ?

[warm snow]

Pretty much

[graceful kestrel]

1

[faint flare]

Vendors

[opaque fiber]

Crap, so I should finish everything before watching it?

[barren granite]

heh

[warm snow]

Just equip recommended and go from there you have a recommended gear button

Also make a gear set

[barren granite]

i just leveled quickly to 10 or 15 and then got gear ...you can hit it in like few hours

[halcyon tulip]

Just wear your starter gear if you didn't throw it away

[graceful kestrel]

but I don't have gear, all gears for marder

[inland quarry]

anyone else on zodiark experiencing loading issues in the shaodw bringer early lvling areas

[barren granite]

weapon is good

[celest snow]

in the cinematic trailer for stormblood, is it the samurai or the monk from the beginning that represents the player or is it both?

[barren granite]

hit vendor and grab chest ..then go lvl quickly 🙂

[faint flare]

Monk, then it swaps to samurai for kugane parts

Derplander is our player character

[graceful kestrel]

ok

[celest snow]

is it always the same guy that represents us in all the cinematic trailers?

[faint flare]

Yes

[barren granite]

youll hit lv 15 in few hours then can start getting other peices ..also you get some from quests you run with no fighting needed.

[faint flare]

Derplander is our player character stand in

[inland quarry]

anyone else on zodiark experiencing loading issues in the shaodw bringer early lvling areas

[faint flare]

He's in all trailers to showcase us

[celest snow]

guessing he used a fantasia in the middle of the stormblood cinematic then haha

[faint flare]

He just a trim from he hair guy

[warm snow]

Not to be confused with the warriors from the post hw patches. Although those guys are based on the cinematic characters

[celest snow]

huh?

now i'm confused

[barren granite]

but ya there are some vendors in limsa that you can also gear up from

[celest snow]

you mean WOD?

[warm snow]

Yeah

[faint flare]

People mistake derplander as thr warrior of darkness in the shadowbringers trailer

Cause they look similar

[celest snow]

ah, yeah. just had a chat regarding them in lore-spoilers so i understand them now.

they hella confused me in HW

[faint flare]

Derplander is always us

[celest snow]

thought legit that they were the ones shown in the cinematic trailer for a sec haha

[faint flare]

Your basic bitch hyur

[celest snow]

he is hella cool though haha

sadly a bit plain if you try to make him in game

[faint flare]

That's why he's rhe stand in

Cause he's BASIC

[inland quarry]

anyone else on zodiark experiencing loading issues in the shaodw bringer early lvling areas

[faint flare]

sassy snap

[celest snow]

oh right, i have another question regarding leveling up. so i want to try rogue for a day or two and i'm currently at lvl 15 but since i'm not queuing up as a tank anymore it seems to take ages to find a party for the lvl 15 dungeon. is there a better way to level up than doing dungeons early on?

[warm snow]

For 1-15 hunting log is the fastest

And just fill out more of that while queuing

Hunting log goes all the way to level 50

Dps queues are always long and I'm afraid you just live with that

[celest snow]

did that. have to wait till lvl 20 now to continue on with it

[warm snow]

Craft gather, do fates while you wait

[celest snow]

ok, so basically, be productive haha

[warm snow]

Or wait and grab a drink

[celest snow]

can i lvl up armorer whilst i'm waiting?

[warm snow]

Yeah

[celest snow]

ok nice

[warm snow]

You can freely change jobs qhile queueing but when the queue pops you have to change back to whatever job you initially queued as

[celest snow]

ok, that's good to know. thank you! :D

[arctic epoch]

Can you party quest in this game?

[open rivet]

to add to this, if you queue as a class (e.g. lancer) but then unlock Dragoon between queueing & queue popping,
you'll need to unequip your Jobstone to join.

[pearl mesa]

Are Timeworn Artifacts guaranteed when you finish a floor for the first time in PotD, or have I just gotten absurdly lucky getting them for my first time at 10 and 20?

[warm snow]

Not that I know of

[open rivet]

somewhat.
sidequests that require you to kill enemies, or require you to complete a duty-finder duty, you can do as a group no issue.
otherwise you're limited to being in the same area & doing the quests simultaneously, but don't contribute to each other's quest.

[faint flare]

Potd is rng per set of 10. Only guaranteed 150+

[pearl mesa]

I'm just impossibly lucky, then. At least it was on something worthwhile.

[green grail]

the drop rate is like 30-40% on earlier floors, it's not super bad

[pearl mesa]

Ah. I'd gotten the impression it was, like, floor number percent chance.

[open rivet]

so e.g. completing floor 10 would be 10%? that'd be a funny way to program it xD

[pearl mesa]

Yes, exactly that.

[green grail]

probably not but who knows, it's all feelcrafting with rng

[pearl mesa]

Knowing it's 1/3 to 1/2 makes a lot more sense.

[faint flare]

Basically sub 100 is decently low...101-150 is high. 151+ is guaranteed

[patent citrus]

well it's 50%, you get or don't get it 😂

may i ask about euereka i want to prograss my relic to its final stage

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

i guess

[faint flare]

The healer that rotates properly

[vestal needle]

Whm

[wispy basalt]

whm for single

for aoe ast ?

[faint flare]

Whm lacks raid buffs

[shut panther]

Almost the exact opposite if we're talking overall contribution

[proper shore]

Any idea of when we will be able to create character on spriggan ?

[modest igloo]

WHM and AST do about the same in the long run

[wispy basalt]

i mean for like clearing farms

[vestal needle]

For e9s, can astro solo cloud at ilvl510?

[shut panther]

Whm contributes the most damage in 4mans, the least in (skilled) 8mans

[warm snow]

!faq serverlock

[true jolt]

try to create char on low peak hour like early morning or midnight

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

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.

[vestal needle]

I know whm can with blood lily

[shut panther]

Contributes being personal damage dealt + buff contribution

However the differences are academic to begin with

Tldr play what you want

[modest igloo]

You’d want AST since you’d be farming with as many DPS as possible

And divinity would buff more players

[wispy basalt]

going ast

go brrr

[proper shore]

i mean to me thurday at 2.53 pm is not high peak , but ok thx for the advice x)

[pearl nest]

The highest possible dps on a class you don't like to play and haven't played is still 0

[warm snow]

Yeah but sleeping hours are more off peak especially when most of the world is wfh

[wispy basalt]

my main is a healer i like play all of them

wdym ;/

[pearl nest]

Then play whatever

Rotate

[proper shore]

yeah :c

[pearl nest]

[chilly birch]

How long does it take to complete the main story of shadowbringer all the way up to 5.5

I am the part where || I cut the sky to bring night time ||

[true jolt]

each patch msq (5.1, 5.2 etc) last for about 3-5 hour depending on your speed

for the ShB itself.. iirc i cleared it around 1,5 week by playing 6-8 hour a day

[modest igloo]

I’d say 50-60 hours left

[oblique lintel]

is there a limit to how many times you can transfer servers in a year?

[warm snow]

You're not even finished 5.0

[warm snow]

No but it costs money to transfer

Unless you mean world visit which is completely unlimited

[modest igloo]

There’s a cool down iirc

[oblique lintel]

Well I last played in 2013, when ARR came out. I live in UK but played on NA server. Looking to either migrate or start new character on EU server. But moving to Thailand end of the year so will have to migrate again to Japan server lol.

[warm snow]

Iirc cooldown is for people in preferred servers so you'll probably be fine if you chose to transfer twice

[true jolt]

pvp hotbar and chotbar separate from pve right? so i need to set them all again including hotbar for switching job etc?

[faint flare]

Yes

[modest igloo]

You could just start in tonberry or kujata @oblique lintel

[oblique lintel]

you think its best for me to migrate my character or restart a new one on EU

[warm snow]

Considering British, might be worth holding out on that second transfer as we'll be getting oceania servers with Endwalker and transfer to new servers is free

[oblique lintel]

what's the ping like from UK to Tonberry

[true jolt]

SEA player here, ping to NA is around 300 so should be around that since tonberry is on JP

[tough wolf]

I don't expect people know, but is there any indication when the Complete Edition would be on sale again? I need to re-purchase for console, so would be really happy if I can get it cheaper considering I've already bought it all before.

[oblique lintel]

I'll be moving around the time Endwalker comes out

[warm snow]

0 indication

We are not affiliated with steam, Sony or squenix

We're just a bunch of ass holes choosing to be mildly helpful now and then

[oblique lintel]

Tonberry is Japan datacentre right?

[modest igloo]

Yeah but it has a large EN community

[warm snow]

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)
  ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

But when can I see the||fatman tranform into an angel battle||

thats lvl79 trial.. so you can just guess from it

Ok

I mean without cutscenes how does it actually take gameplay wise

Like solid gear metal snake

From howlongtobeat. Com

[chilly birch]

If possible to skip since I can rewatch it in my inn room right?

[warm snow]

You really don't want to

Shadowbringers is the best story in ff14

[true jolt]

afaik there are some scene you cant watch and also missed you a lot of character dialogue in between cutscene

[warm snow]

And ofc all the cutscenes explain where you are and what you're doing

you are a true hero 🙏 thanks a lot

!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.

[chilly birch]

Ok

[chilly birch]

So this shit is like world of Warcraft inn rest experience bonus stuff right

Idk never touched wow

Well in wow if you rest in inn for a certain amount of time even logging off and logging back in the next day you get 200% experience but the bar will set the limits of killing mobs experience and once past the bar they set in your experience bar your back to 100% of earnings experience killing mobs

[modest igloo]

Yep

[chilly birch]

The experience earn from quest reward doesn’t effect it which can be expoit for a little boost

[modest igloo]

Only mob kills for FF

No boost to quest rewards

[kindred vapor]

Free trial here, if i pre-order endwalker, can i play right now up to shadowbringer?

[faint flare]

No

[chilly birch]

No

[kindred vapor]

Darn then i will have to wait. Thanks !

[faint flare]

1. You don't own the Base game so can't use the preorder
2. You get the expansions in November

[kindred vapor]

For the full edition

[chilly birch]

This is not blizzard for early access

It be released fair for everyone else

Why does blizzard release month early for price/profit then release it to the public a month later for free

[kindred vapor]

Its OK, i just dont want to buy full edition and then endwalker , i will wait for full edition on november. 😋

[chilly birch]

Have you started the ff14 game yet?

[faint flare]

They're trial

[west bridge]

i thought playing as a tank would take you into dungeons pretty much immediately?

[leaden ginkgo]

1 hour ||no answer||

[faint flare]

The ques are significantly shorter than dps

[chilly birch]

90% yes

[west bridge]

[faint flare]

You barely waited

[chilly birch]

Must less dps online at that time

[kindred vapor]

Yeah, currently having fun

[faint flare]

Tank ques are under 5mins usually

[west bridge]

hm okay

[heavy wadi]

the estimate is often off, queue should pop p quick

[west bridge]

ah ok

i thought it was like in eso where you always get in as a tank

[chilly birch]

If your not a big fan of waiting for dungeon go harvesting/craft and once timer pop up change to the tank you have

Well in the time your waiting

[open rivet]

really depends on what's currently low.
if there's less healers than tanks queuing that means even tanks must wait a bit

[chilly birch]

I usually cut trees and smash rocks when I wait for my dungeon timer to pop up

Even fishing

Still a baiter in fishing class

I will soon be a master baiter once I get enough high level

[open rivet]

I just did sidequests, by the time I had all 80s I was done w/ all ARR quests :^)

[strong sphinx]

does anyone know how long it will take to level a charakter from 71 o 80 with Boza?

[open rivet]

not long

[strong sphinx]

estimate time?

[open rivet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

a few hours

if ya have xp boosts it's gonna be quicker than w/o

[chilly birch]

If you daily grind run you will get there in a week or 6 days

1 class at a time buddy

[open rivet]

I prefer just using roulettes for that 1.8 levels for doing nothing a day

[strong sphinx]

sorry meant job/class*

[next willow]

is there a channel where you can find parties for trials and sutffs?

[strong sphinx]

i am able to grind, i just wish to know how long it would take

[vital ruin]

does none of the enemies in potd have positionals?

[open rivet]

yep, tho for some enemies their "view" direction matters for their attacks.

[faint flare]

A full circle means they're omnipositional

[drowsy maple]

Alcemist, you make flask whit that jobb? I guess and you need like another jobb to comind whit that , like pick flowers?

[faint flare]

Yes, the rest of thr crafters and gatherer

Each job needs mats from another one

[flat yew]

are skysteel tools shiny when you upgrade them enough? or is there some other equivalent to those shiny glam weapons for crafters?

[faint flare]

You can't really level 1 crafter on its own unless you want to kill your wallet

[drowsy maple]

okey so like wow then 🙂 so what jobb goes whit Alcemis then ? ^^

[faint flare]

All of them

[drowsy maple]

all of them jesus 😮

[eternal mortar]

ayo, quick question. im about to download/get the game, but im not sure where to get it. The ffxiv website, or steam?

[faint flare]

You do all crafters and gatherers together

[drowsy maple]

steam 😄

[stray mason]

Is there a good place where I can search glamours? I want to find a hood headpiece

[faint flare]

Or none of them

[boreal storm]

There’s only like 8

[faint flare]

Functionality it doesn't matter

[drowsy maple]

only like 8 yeah only xd

[open rivet]

well, except CUL

[boreal storm]

And I guess Cul and Fsh

[faint flare]

On difference is buying expansions. Steam has less sales and locks you to it

Cul has some botany, some mining for salts

[open rivet]

yes but it doesn't give anything back

[faint flare]

Food for buffs

[eternal mortar]

ite, gotcha. i suppose i'll just go through the website in that case

[faint flare]

Also there's some baits cul makes for fisher

[flat yew]

do you have to wear the skysteel tool while crafting the upgrade mats for it to count?

[little swift]

Yes

[flat yew]

oof, thanks

[shrewd cradle]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Daily Reset:

1 hour, 5 minutes, 40 seconds

[leaden ginkgo]

how can i make clock 24h ingame

[boreal storm]

Click it and it changes

[leaden ginkgo]

its 12 format

[halcyon tulip]

Character config - log window settings - time display

[river portal]

Is it possible to make a macro that can automatically pick out a recipe? not sure how people bulk craft with macros

[faint flare]

Not in game

[river portal]

so guessing it would be a third party tool

[shut panther]

legitimate bulk crafting involves macros that do the actual craft but you still need to click to start each

[faint flare]

Outside macros or just use an sound effect to notify the craft is finished

[river portal]

I'm just working on FC airship and I know it ain't necessary to HQ everything but it helps speeds things up and there's so much to make

a

[opaque fiber]

what is the fastest way to level my chocob companion levels?

[leaden ginkgo]

I assume by the deletion of the question, he found the Keybind button.

[river portal]

do your weekly challenge log and stable it and feed it at an apartment or house

[opaque fiber]

Ok ty

[wispy shell]

How bad is the exp decrease in potd when you're level 60?

[glossy flare]

huge

after lvl 60 it's not worth it to use potd for leveling anymore

[shut panther]

I don't think it actually drops, it just stops scaling

[glossy flare]

yeah

[heavy wadi]

no it does drop, I can confirm

[shut panther]

and expansion to expansion exp/level scaling is harsh, so yeah it becomes useless

[wispy shell]

its annoying because theres downtime you need to reach 61 before being able to queue hoh..

[shut panther]

I mean, doing a dungeon isn't going to kill you

[glossy flare]

a few roulettes should be able to take care of one level

[heavy wadi]

it goes from like a couple hundred thousand exp down to like, maybe 20-40k

[wispy shell]

would require me to get gear for ilvl instead of using lvl 1 stuff and go to the class quests to get my skills for the dungeon

[shut panther]

that doesn't seem like an unreasonable ask

[leaden ginkgo]

uhh, please tell me you are taking the time to actually do your class quests.

Atleast at 30 or some shit if you're an ARR job.

[slender sphinx]

hey can i have a tip on something please, how can i level up quickly on another class when my MSQ is for a higher level, like i want to level marauder but my MSQ is for level 20

[wispy shell]

I did them to 30 then just went potd and wanted to go hoh and bozjan to get them 80 before gearing/doing their quests

[shut panther]

I mean, I assume he's implying he wants to not have to exit potd until 80

[wispy shell]

since that would be rather expensive having to gear them

[shut panther]

and then just do them all then

[shut panther]

hunting logs > dungeons

[royal crystal]

Any Au Ra lore experts answer me this: it's said that the Raen of Sui-no-Sato all use "Sui" as their surname. Is it just plainly "Sui", or can it have modifications to it like the Ruby Princess has "Shisui". I'm not asking if they can have that ofc, because that's reserved for the Princess alone, just if the other Raen can have different additions to just "Sui".

[slender sphinx]

ok thank you

[shut panther]

but again, I don't think the implication that you'd have to prepare a single set of gear is that big of an ask for levelling a character

honestly with the duty difficulty slider you might just be able to use the level 30 gear to get through job quests to 60 anyway

[wispy shell]

I'm planning on leveling all my classes to 70 so it wouldnt just be 1

[shut panther]

then you get a gearbox anyway

yeah I still don't think "you have to buy a single gear set per role" is a big ask

[wispy shell]

does class quest give you lvl 60 gear?

[shut panther]

uhh

left side

not right side

[round crag]

the level 60 gear it gives you is doodoo right?

or do they give you something better now

[shut panther]

it is, but if you're really desperate not to buy gear, you could certainly get to 61 in it

msq roulette and a single levelling dungeon would get it done to get you into hoh

[wispy shell]

I mean as long as the lvl 60 gear would allow me to queue the 59 dungeon so I can go to 61 that would be enough?

[shut panther]

this is assuming you could get the class quests done of course

which I suspect you could because the duty difficulty shit is absurd, but am not entirely sure

[west parrot]

can I learn BLU spells in squadron command missions?

[wispy shell]

true.. i doubt i could do the 50 ones with low lvl gear

[shut panther]

you'd assuredly fail on normal

[boreal storm]

You can’t use blu

[west parrot]

noooo

[shut panther]

but the very easy option offered is generally extremely trivial

so it might be doable in 30

I mean or you could just buy some gear

[faint flare]

You probably could just get some vendor gear to barely let you pass

To do job quests

[round crag]

you should really be caught up on gear unless you're 100% avoiding any gruop content

[shut panther]

the idea he was working with was trying to avoid buying gear when potd only levelling

in that 60-61 gap where you can't really potd exp, but also can't get into hoh

[wispy shell]

^ im planning on leveling them in potd, hoh then bozjan since queuing dungeons as dps isnt very efficient

[shut panther]

but yeah, just suck it up and buy some poetics gear would be what I would do personally

[heavy wadi]

imo you should at least try to do alliance raid roul and raid roul while leveling dps 61-71

you should get short queues for those

[wispy shell]

do those alliance raids give good exp then?

when queuing as role in need

[modest igloo]

Only the roulette gives the xp

AiN is worthless

[terse adder]

hey, i just got to level 50, and when i went to the npc to start the Samurai quest line it said i didnt have Stormblood (i think) installed, and that i havent joined something

[dense hound]

Role in need is a neat bonus, but don’t focus on it

[shut panther]

AiN is for gil, not exp. I don't know why they even bother to list exp.

16,800 bonus when the roulette gives 3,000,000 xd

[faint flare]

You can't do samurai on trial

[stray mason]

how to use limit breaks? I dont see any ability for it in actoins and traits

[terse adder]

oh ok, thanks

[dark void]

is the battle chat important? i intend on using it only for party chat...
