[outer mural]

is that correct? i've had friends that couldn't give me a code after subbing but it's been a while so i'll take ur word for it

[twilit arch]

You have to have an active sub to be able to generate a code

being on free time (30 day sub) counts as an active sub

[outer mural]

i definitely misunderstood the restrictions of when you can't generate a code then, heck

[sterile lark]

nod

[leaden ginkgo]

should i trade my field notes for lockboxs or bozja coin

[obsidian patio]

Lock boxes IMO

[jovial quarry]

Coins are used to buy gear but it's mostly for glam at this point.

[obsidian patio]

You get coins from doing skirmishes and CEs, along with CLL

[jovial quarry]

The lockboxes can drop some pretty good stuff though

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks !

i've been stacking lock boxs and its pain to open them one by one

is there a way to open them all

[undone tinsel]

hello! So i was wondering if you can get the dark knight gear back because i think i discarded it and now i need to get it back, including the weapon, any idea where i can get it??

the starting gear*

[jovial quarry]

Has to be one by one sadly.

[leaden ginkgo]

how to i access my account if i lost my authenticator and retrieval pass

[autumn hedge]

I'm currently a bard, but it keeps saying I'm getting archer experience. Am I doing something wrong?

[obsidian patio]

No

Jobs use their base class as their level

[undone tinsel]

hello! So i was wondering if you can get the dark knight staring gear back because i think i discarded it and now i need to get it back, including the weapon, any idea where i can get it??

[jovial quarry]

The gear you're given on unlocking DRK is just standard vendor gear. If it's missing you can just buy another set from the starting cities.

[obsidian patio]

Weapon can be bought back from the vendor at the inn in ishgard

[strong sphinx]

Can I spend any gil in the process of making a Shb relic to speed it up?

[frozen girder]

I lost my character

And no sato

_>

[jovial quarry]

Not really, no. Maybe buying lost fragments from the MB to help in the Delubrum step? That's about it though.

[leaden ginkgo]

when is duty reset for NA servers?

err daily

[jovial quarry]

Hmm. I know there's a gpose setting that can do that when you're taking screenshots. But if you're not in gpose I'm not too sure what's going on. Sorry 😅

!daily

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Daily Reset:

12 hours, 43 minutes, 20 seconds

[frozen girder]

I reloaded the map and it fixed it XD

[jovial quarry]

@leaden ginkgo In just under 13 hours. So 8 am PDT.

[versed geyser]

What do you with excess totems from EX trials you already have the mount for?

[young steppe]

How do I copy+paste my keybinds and settings from my main in Tonberry to my alt in Kujata?

[jovial quarry]

Exhange for weapons for glamour? If you don't have any plans to use it for that purpose, you can safely discard.

[versed geyser]

You can exchange totems for glam weapons? Good to know.

I'm assuming you do that with the same NPC you get the mounts from?

[jovial quarry]

Should be a totem exchange from the same vendor, yeah.

[versed geyser]

I'll look into the weapons to see if I like the look but otherwise I'll toss 'em. Thanks for the help

[obsidian patio]

If you’re leveling up desynth buy shields

They’re the cheapest option to desynth being 3 tokens each

[dusk tide]

Hey I just joined I was wondering why I can't hear anything in the voice channel? everything has a lock symbol on it

[jovial quarry]

Settings are saved to your Documents folder by default. If you know the dates each were created, you can simply copy the .dat files from one character to the other. If not, it'll have to be trial and error. Make sure you back up your settings just in case, if you do use this method. If you're on console, you'll have to reproduce the settings manually as there's no way to copy between characters on console.

[young steppe]

Is it okay for me to delete these?

or rather what are these

[jovial quarry]

Don't delete those. I don't know what they are but it's better to be safe.

Oh wait now I remember lol those are your saved appearance data settings.

Yeah don't delete them

The folders above those are where the hotbar stuff is saved. Each folder is one of your characters settings.

Make sure you back those up before you tinker with them.

[abstract sierra]

If i play using the free trail can me and my friends group up or is it restricted?

[jovial quarry]

You'll need another player to create the party for you

Trial players can't form parties but they can join them.

[whole wasp]

you can group up by asking someone else to invite all your friends to a party then leave the group

asking a non FT*

[autumn hedge]

I'm playing bard right now. How do I unlock being able to actually play an instrument?

[white sierra]

How in the fuck am I supposed to get aether samd for the anima relic reasonably, I leveled a crafter to 50 to do scripts only for me to not be able to get the materials I need and every other way seemingly unaccessable

[obsidian patio]

If you have a combat class at/above 70 solo the ARR extreme primals

Or buy their materials off the marketboard

And solo the ones with the more expensive material

[rough mason]

Is anyone willing to help a lvl 50 dragoon body a trial un-level synced

[whole wasp]

Old Gridania, near the Amphitheatre. Should be a blue quest there.

[jovial quarry]

In Gridania, near Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre, there's an NPC named Simpkin with the quest that unlocks performance mode.

[white sierra]

I'm 70 but have lv 60 armor, over leveled due to relic grind

[autumn hedge]

Thank you!

[obsidian patio]

Try spamming HW leves then. You simply activate the leve, search for a coffer in the green circles, open it if it’s there, and then quit the leve to start it back up again

That gets you the amber vilekin at around 20-30% chance from the coffer if it spawns

I usually manage around 20 vilekin per 100 leve allowances

My preferred leve to spam is “Dance, Magic Dance”

[leaden ginkgo]

So do retainers work to store old equipment?

[hushed comet]

So I havent gotten a mount yet but if I were to just buy one off the mogstation would I get it immediately

[jovial quarry]

Yeah, retainers are your banks, inventory storage, and market board interface.

[jovial quarry]

You would have the mount, yes, but you would still need to unlock access to mounts through the main story quests.

[hushed comet]

So I wouldnt be able to use it

[jovial quarry]

Not until you get the mount license, no.

[hushed comet]

Gotcha

Thank you

Also can you use glamour to have the appearance of armor you cant equip with your current class?

[dire prawn]

No

Glamours are still locked to gear that you can actually wear

[hushed comet]

I see

Okay thank you

[dark copper]

Many of the base armor models are re-used for gear across classes. You can use garlontools to figure which gear for your current class looks like the gear you want to use glamour for

[leaden ginkgo]

What is the best way to get level 140+ item gear?

[dark copper]

Dungeon level 57+ (The vault) and above will give 140+ item level gear

If you have a level 80 character with up to date gear you can unsync those dungeons and solo them

[glacial isle]

Is there anything worth a decent amount of gil on the MB that you can buy for gil in the Trial (either in main towns or Idyllshire)? wondering if its possible to somehow stockpile excess gil between now and buying the game

[white sierra]

This feels impossible

[dire prawn]

I read it wrong at first too

But what I think Cole is asking is if there's anything he can obtain on the free trial that's actually worth money on the MB and likely to be bought so he can stock up on it in preparation for when he finally buys the game and is no longer free to play

[glacial isle]

that yes

[dire prawn]

And can have more than 300k

So he can sell it and have absurd amounts of gil going into Stormblood

[glacial isle]

cause other option is throw money at blue scrips for my Anima

[dire prawn]

Start throwing money

Are you throwing poetics at it too

[glacial isle]

my 4th anima

[glacial isle]

whenever I'm not buying Ironworks/Shire gear yes

[dire prawn]

How many jobs do you not have at 60 after 778 hours free???

[glacial isle]

granted SCH/AST/SMN share gear and just need their Poetic Weapons bought

[dire prawn]

SMN doesn't share gear with SCH and AST

Oh wait

I see what you meant

Never mind

[glacial isle]

ye

[young steppe]

I thought trial account can't pass level 35?

[glacial isle]

have Ironworks/Shire gear for caster

[glacial isle]

goes to lvl 60

[heavy wadi]

trial is to level 60

[dire prawn]

That's been a lie for a while

[young steppe]

Oooh

[dire prawn]

Free Trial goes to Lv 60 and end of post-HW

[heavy wadi]

the cap hasn't been 35 for a number of years

[young steppe]

Sorry, I stopped playing continously since ARR and in between HW and ShB only played like a month or two 😦

[glacial isle]

here to be exact

[dire prawn]

Yep

[rustic girder]

How servers connected? I created a character on Sargatanas. So, is that the only realm I’m able to search for a FC?

[dire prawn]

Yes

[glacial isle]

note it took me roughly 9 days, 21 hours, 17 minutes to get to that point

[dire prawn]

You can't join a FC that's on like, Siren or Gilgamesh or Faerie for example

[rustic girder]

Okay, thank you.

[whole wasp]

FCs/Weddings and selling items(summoning retainers) on marketboard is server-restricted

everything else is datacentre-restricted

[north flame]

For the ARR relic quest for white mage I made a madmans whisper and attatched three quicktongue materia 3 to it but it wont work

[whole wasp]

3? i thought it was just 2

[north flame]

Well it was

but then I checked to see if the quest wasnt red anymore

and then it still was

so Im like if I put three he wouldnt care right

Wait nvm it works

I took the third one off

[lyric kelp]

Noob here, Whats the process to become a warrior for me, im a level 31 marauder. I havent received a quest for it yet in the marauders guild.

[whole wasp]

you have to complete the lvl 20 Sylph Management for the job quests to show up

[lyric kelp]

Thats just thru the main story line??

[dark copper]

Yes

Quests with: are Main Story Quests

[lyric kelp]

Ok cool thanks. Wow refugee fumbling through things

[whole wasp]

no problem

[dark copper]

What happened to Vinyl Tails?

[whole wasp]

probably sleeping

[white sierra]

Can there be more than one blue chest per leve when looking for vilekins or no

[sweet leaf]

I'm having a lot of difficulty finding the Ishgard Restoration Quests

[whole wasp]

iirc, its one of those weird quests where the questgiver is a flyer on the wall

[brisk rapids]

What does PotD mean?

[whole wasp]

PoTD stands for Palace of the Dead

its a 200 floor dungeon which has its own progression system

people often compare it to a roguelite

[brisk rapids]

when can u start that?

[whole wasp]

the unlock quest is in Gridania inside the pub iirc

[brisk rapids]

yeah thats what im doing

[whole wasp]

or for the challenge

[brisk rapids]

lvl 16 atm

[whole wasp]

uhhh... people usually do alt jobs after they maxed one job already but up to you.

Command Error!

An unhandled error has occurred: 'issuer'

If you believe this error to be a bug please report to the Kupo Bot Support Discord: http://discord.gg/4dpPFcWURA

[whole wasp]

yea

[brisk rapids]

technically i did max one job since im on the free trial

[whole wasp]

kupo has a heart attack because the questgiver is not a NPC

[whole wasp]

👍

swap to your lvl 60 to unlock the quest then swap back to your lvl 16

to do PoTD. you can do it at lvl 1 with no gear too

[brisk rapids]

ohh you're right lol

[sweet leaf]

i'm trying to unlock the Durendaire custom deliveries and i backtracked it all the way to this quest

idk why i literally can't find it

[honest anvil]

What’s the floating levitating emote?

[jovial quarry]

It’s on a wall next to the main aetheryte in Ishgard.

[naive kraken]

That's the omega statue emote i believe

[sweet leaf]

i'm at the main aetheryte and i literally don't see it anywhere

[jovial quarry]

I don’t remember what it’s called but it’s a pack in code from the Omega statue

[brisk rapids]

@whole wasp ok so the NPC doesnt have a quest after switching. Guess i did it already, but where do I enter PotD

[whole wasp]

PoTD is in Quarrymill

talk to expedition sargeant i think his name is

and you can queue for PoTD

[jovial quarry]

If it’s not there, you may have unlocked it already? Check the aetheryte. If there’s an option to teleport to the Firmament, then you’ve at least started it.

[sweet leaf]

i know i've done the prerequisite quest Litany of Peace because i have the ||Aymeric|| minion and ||Dragonsong|| Orchestrion

[topaz vine]

seems like the alexander exchange isn't that great?

in idyllshire

[whole wasp]

yea, they are old raid gear.

[sweet leaf]

ok yeah i've been to the firmament many times but i can't find where to continue the questline then

[topaz vine]

rip

[whole wasp]

used to look cool only now.

[topaz vine]

the music is good at least

[topaz vine]

oh so they're important then

🙂

[whole wasp]

yes, very important

gordian weapons are some of the coolest iirc

[sweet leaf]

ok i have made a small bit of headway.
I've discovered that i have the Featherfall Rising achievement, but not the Solid Ground achievement

[fading aurora]

hey guys how do u target someoen on controller to get on their mount

they cant figure it out

[sweet leaf]

ok so none of the quests after May Featherfall Flourish up to and including Smiles Cross the Sky are here anywhere

[remote lintel]

are they in the same party

[fading aurora]

they got it

ye they were

they just didnt know how to use iyt

[sweet leaf]

were these limited quests or something?

[dire prawn]

Hit X while facing them then Square

[ripe hound]

Does anyone have a cheat sheet of all mitigations in the game?

[leaden ginkgo]

so do you have to complete potd to start using Hoh

[dire prawn]

or A and X if you're on xbox controller

[dire prawn]

Complete Floor 50 of PotD to be able to unlock HoH

[leaden ginkgo]

ok cool ty

[sweet leaf]

i'm so incredibly confused, the quests just do not exist for some reason

this is what my firmament map looks like.
Those 2 quests are Shadow Over the Orphanage and A Gathering of Gaelicats

Are the Ishgardian Restoration Quests limited time and I just can never unlock Durendaire custom deliveries now?

[full gust]

hi guys! i have been wanting to finally lvl up all my crafting classes, im lvl 0 at all of them. Is there a dumb downed version of how to lvl the all at once? ive seen videos on youtube but they confuse me more than anything LOL

[jovial quarry]

They're not time locked. Still available. Check the guy near the builder's board at the entrance. They might have one of those narrow ! marks to progress.

[sweet leaf]

i'm crying, it was in my journal this whole time

[shut panther]

[sweet leaf]

i don't like how quests that aren't up at the top five on your log are just invisible on our map

[celest coral]

Am I better off entering my CE code early so that I benefit from all the XP granted for level 60 MSQs? Or should I wait until I'm done done with HW?

[dire prawn]

Just wait

[regal glen]

Can anyone help me in a relic reborn: hydra? The wait time is just way too long. Im in elemental garuda server.

[jovial quarry]

Early crafting leveling is simply making all of your low level recipes for a completion bonus until around level 10.

[dire prawn]

Lv 60 MSQ gives fuck-all for exp anyways

[celest coral]

kk

[flint pollen]

? folks how do i expand 3 and 4 on my inventory ???

[outer mural]

party find it

say that you would like an unsync and they will get first time bonus

doing it unsync will still qualify you for completion for the purposes of the quest

[flint pollen]

btw jim i think i got my issue resolved and thxn you very much

[outer mural]

i am glad rix

just make sure to check ur job stones man

[flint pollen]

well what i have done is refresh on my char screen

so when ever i load my weap it will be auto on it

hopefully he will stay put lmao 😛

[regal glen]

Will trt

[outer mural]

i would recommend put "need relic unsync, first time bonus applied"

should get a hit after a bit, it should be no work for a level 80 char to unsync

[flint pollen]

ok sorry im lost at that pic

[outer mural]

wdym rix

you just hit the setting

that's all u need

[flint pollen]

how do i get that screen ?

[outer mural]

i do not know bc i am not on controller

it's normally esc on PC to open the system menu

[dire prawn]

Hit start

[flint pollen]

ok i think im on that page now

[dire prawn]

Go all the way to the right to your system tab

Click on character config

[flint pollen]

ok not sure maybe but what i meant unlock like i could not put any thing on it

it had a padlock on it

ok i cant add any more since i tested from much chocobo bag

now you see

that was like with padlock on it and shows locked

[regal glen]

Im new to the game and doesnt know what this means

[halcyon gorge]

hey so seemingly out of nowhere I've been getting a lot of dx11 error crashes. It's getting to the point of being unplayable. My drivers are up to date and I'm already running in windowed-borderless so that's not a problem. Any ideas what's causing it?

[flint pollen]

you need directx12

[halcyon gorge]

that's not supported with ff14

it's only dx11

[flint pollen]

let me find and find out what my directX is at

[shut panther]

Have you tried any other games recently?

[halcyon gorge]

yes all my games work fine

it's only become a problem today where i keep getting the error

[shut panther]

Haven't a screenshot of the error by any chance?

[halcyon gorge]

It's this one. Very common apparently but none of the fixes are applicable for me

[mystic blaze]

when's a good time to buy the game if I'm level 42, haven't finished ARR yet, and want to join a party or FC now

[storm kelp]

Relic weapon, the 180 stuff part, Lurid memory refers to Eden's Gate: Inundation and Sepulture right?

[flint pollen]

that is what i have for a long while and im running FF14

[halcyon gorge]

yes but the game runs on dx11. I have dx12 as well.

[indigo vale]

In my opinion, it's for the best that you wait to complete Heavensward before buying the game, and I think your friends who have it can just invite you to their Parties

[regal glen]

Nvm just ask someone that joined and told me how to do it people here are nice and i love it.

[mystic blaze]

cool! I'm not sure I have friends who play ff14

that part will be tricky, hoping I could get this game to make friends

[flint pollen]

yeah

but make sure you establish good friendship before you can what ever

also if you dont have much friend you can get in the free company and hope you can go from there

[mystic blaze]

I love how friendly and inviting this game is compared to WoW.

[dark copper]

what do you mean?

[flint pollen]

yeah but also depends on the world you choose too

[mystic blaze]

it felt really hard to feel a type of connection and find a guild

sending guild invites felt like the equivalent of waiting for your number at the deli counter lmao

plus it felt hard with how the combat felt way more reactive and twitch based compared to what I liked with the spells and loadouts from ff14

I don't think I ever died with my FF14 chraracter yet lmao

[flint pollen]

btw if you dont like the free company you in and you can just leave and join another

[mystic blaze]

that's cool. I hope I find the right free company when I sink more into the game.

and I think they'll definitely be weebs like me lmao

[flint pollen]

that is all you can hope for

[leaden ginkgo]

I have a guy who is afking by an item that I need for the main quest. What do I do?

[dire prawn]

Zoom in and click on it

[flint pollen]

or tab until you hit the npc

idnk about pc tab in the game but i do on the controller

[leaden ginkgo]

It doesn't seem to be working

[flint pollen]

and you will see that circle when you move to one person or npc or mob

[whole wasp]

hold i think x

to disable selecting Player characters

[leaden ginkgo]

Hold what?

[whole wasp]

keyboard x

[jovial quarry]

Turn on num lock and then hit Numpad 0

[flint pollen]

idnk why ppl be on and so close to what you need and makes no sense other than being a big jerk to other players

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm on ps4 so most of that stuff won't work

[flint pollen]

i hate them doing that

ok you know on your controler

[jovial quarry]

Oh weird. Just the X button should auto target what you need then.

[flint pollen]

on the left of the 4 pressable buttons

[leaden ginkgo]

Exactly, it won't select the item no matter how many times I use the dpad

[flint pollen]

on that 4 that is like a clock

[dim ridge]

how fast could u go in bozja if you used the breathtaker essence with a riding map and the motorcycle that goes faster? Or does breathtaker not stack with mounts, and does the motorcycle from mogstation stack on any of it? So is it just bozja map + being on a map that's fastest?

[flint pollen]

hit your 3 o clock and keep hitting till it gets what you need and press the x button

12 3 6 9 and back 12 o clock on that controller that i meant

[leaden ginkgo]

That's what I've been trying to do yet it still won't work

[flint pollen]

clear what ever you have with the circle and then try again

[obsidian patio]

Do you have your weapon out?

[leaden ginkgo]

Nope

[obsidian patio]

Go to the target settings in the control section of the character config and temporarily change them to not target other players

[flint pollen]

not a bad idea Wynne but make sure if you are a healer dont lock out your healing in the party ???

[obsidian patio]

Breathtaker works while mounted and does work with the riding map/SDS Fenrir bike

That’s why I said temporarily

[shut panther]

Riding map and Fenrir don't stack though I think?

[deep patrol]

When doing dungeons with my relic weapon, do I have to have it equiped for the whole dungeon?

[flint pollen]

btw Wynne i have some locked inventory and i cant add any more can you advise me plz

[obsidian patio]

That’s why I put a slash on them since they’re the same thing

Those are the key items, not your regular inventory

[flint pollen]

yeah but what about the other section

[dim ridge]

so would that be the absolute fastest one could go? and how much does the fenrir actually add?

[flint pollen]

they are 3 and 4

[shut panther]

But having had experience with breathtaker and riding map.. zoom zoom.

[obsidian patio]

Yep.
Fenrir bike is the same speed as the riding map, since it acts as if you have the first boost of mount speed for that zone if it has it.

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm having diificulties setting it up, which option is it specifically?

[obsidian patio]

In terms of actual speed boost amount I don’t know.

[dim ridge]

ah, so fenrir is moot if you have the map?

[shut panther]

Correct

[dim ridge]

ty!

[leaden ginkgo]

my foot itch

[obsidian patio]

The menu on the left.

But you can make use of the menu on the right, i personally never liked it.

[flint pollen]

that is a nice help Wynne and i will keep that in mind later

[outer mural]

did you get your question answered

i had to step out to jog

Yes, thanks for the tip.

did you get it done?

[regal glen]

Yes.

[outer mural]

awesome possum

[deep patrol]

Is satasha HM first boss always a 1 hit if I can't remove debuff?

[leaden ginkgo]

Point of interaction I can't get to because someone is afking by it. What do I do?

[jovial quarry]

You're supposed to stun or interrupt the boss while it's casting Tail Screw or its next hit will kill.

[outer mural]

Tail Screw will bring the player to 1% of their HP, but will not kill them; however, the player will die if they have the Slime debuff on them. Tail Screw can be stunned; if possible, the tank should pass Prey to a nearby DPS before being stunned so they are able to stun Tail Screw immediately after.

yes zoro

[deep patrol]

Ah will give it another go, trying to run it solo and kept dying lol

[jovial quarry]

Take a picture of your screen please? Controller players should have no issue targeting around other players.

[flint pollen]

ok for any pld tank and got a ? and i have Constaint and he is red which is above his head and im lvl 55 and i need to be 56 and im like 569,239 to 2,317,600 experience to lvl - so any advice any one ?

[upper cove]

@leaden ginkgo do you need to do an emote?

Being on top of it should work

[leaden ginkgo]

I did the lookout emote in the area but nothing happened

[upper cove]

Thats spot isn't tsrgettable iirc

[flint pollen]

check your quest and it does have objective and it will tell you what you need to do i think

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohhh

[remote lintel]

@stone spear do you meet the requirements to transfer

[leaden ginkgo]

So I had to do the lookout on that spot in particular?

That seems seriously unnecessary

[flint pollen]

yeah and you type this /lookout

and it would do that

[stone spear]

yes. i think ik the prob. i just deleted a charcter off gilg, maybe it needs to register

[dire prawn]

How do I not die to the first boss in Rabanastre

When he does his multiple AoEs that cover the whole damn arena

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks for the help!

[flint pollen]

let me advise you a keyboard with a like a Logitech unifying receiver really can be very very handy to type on the chat and stuff like that

[remote lintel]

whats the name of the boss

oh the water guy

the water spout aoes?

[flint pollen]

yw RKAD

btw RKAD you can do stuff like on your emote like this too /soothe and it will work as well

[dire prawn]

The uhh

No

Fuck

Second boss

[obsidian patio]

If you mean the boss with the giant water jug you should stick close to him for the most part

[flint pollen]

instead of going to the emote and picking from the box

[obsidian patio]

Oh tower guy

[dire prawn]

The dude that summons towers and bathes the middle of the arena in fire twice

[remote lintel]

which aoes

[leaden ginkgo]

Cool, appreciate the tip

[dire prawn]

All of them

[obsidian patio]

Keep your eyes on the west/East for when he pops up and makes one of his hands glowy

[dire prawn]

When the whole arena is nothing but flashing circles

[remote lintel]

he has aoes that follow certain players

just dodge the falling towers and the yellow aoes

and dont stand on the bad side of the arena

kill sand spheres

[dire prawn]

We were able to skip the sand spheres actually

They wiped us the first time

The second time we destroyed his tower before the spheres happened

[flint pollen]

will watching youtube might help ?

[dire prawn]

Why would I do that when this channel exists

[flint pollen]

i use both lol

[dire prawn]

Is there a tell for which way the towers will fall?

[flint pollen]

a lot of time youtube has tons and tons of vid to show you

[remote lintel]

he slices them diagonally and they slide in the direction theyre going to fall

[flint pollen]

sometimes it cant be said here so it can give you a visual

[dire prawn]

Oh

So if they slide east then they'll fall east?

[remote lintel]

they fall in a line aoe where they are pointing

[clear shoal]

I hit a button to toggle my UI off, but the same button isn't bringing it back for some reason. Is there some special way to get it back?

[remote lintel]

scroll lock

[clear shoal]

yeah, it won't come back

that's what i hit to make it go away

i can run around, so the game isn't locked up or anything

[dire prawn]

And now there's cute blonde fishy lizzer lady

[obsidian patio]

is your shift/alt/control key stuck? that might be it

[clear shoal]

Might just kill the game and restart it. Can rebind the key in the menu I think

Oh, i can try that

[remote lintel]

good luck with rofocale

try to figure that one out

[dire prawn]

Wasn't that the second to last boss in Rabanastre?

[remote lintel]

rofocale yes

[dire prawn]

He didn't give me problems

[remote lintel]

oh you beat it

[dire prawn]

I did almost die once to the final boss though

And then I actually did die

I still don't know what I died to

And his stampede thing is bs

It comes out so fast

[remote lintel]

its a figure 8 thats always in the same position

directly in front and directly behind are always safe

[jade quartz]

You have time to react because he goes forward first

As are directly on the sides

[dire prawn]

Oh

[stone spear]

wait so if i leave a world i cant go back ?

[boreal storm]

You mean like with world travel? You can return whenever using the same method

[stone spear]

ok so at first i though gilgamesh wasnt popping up bc of my alt being there. so i deleted the alt, but now its taking a while for gilg to pop up as a destination

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey, can someone who was the DOH jobs leveled help me i have some questions

[lilac bloom]

Like?

[leaden ginkgo]

like leveling it is as boring as leveling the gathering ones ?

[steep heron]

how many GB is the install of XIV+Expacs

[leaden ginkgo]

about 70

[lilac bloom]

I meeeean kinda subjective but you can level however you like. Theres lots of different methods and even an area that is dedicated to crafters with lots of rewards and crazy exp gains.

[leaden ginkgo]

like the diadem ?

[lilac bloom]

If anything crafting endgame is more boring because it's pretty much all macros.

Yeah that same area. Ishgard Restoration.

I speed leveled in there crazy fast.

[leaden ginkgo]

yea im leveling my gatherings in the diadem

but its soo boring omg

[lilac bloom]

I mean leveling crafting you have like rotations and buttons you'll learn how to use. It's not nearly as simple as gathering.

But yeah endgame is usually just press a macro and let the game do the rest for you. But it's very nice being self sufficient and making tons of money if you choose.

[leaden ginkgo]

im trying to level up all my doh and dol jobs before endwalker

im a new player

[lilac bloom]

EXP is the easiest part. Getting gear and unlocking stuff is harder imo.

There are tons of avenues for EXP, and if your gatherers are leveled with semi-okay gear (which is free to get) then it's even easier for your crafters.

[leaden ginkgo]

are you a long time player ?

Heya! I played this game last summer, got to level 51 on a Paladin and sadly left the game due to my friends dropping out of it. I'm now looking to get back into it, but I just logged in and I have nooo clue where to start. I don't recognise anything, I've forgotten it all any advice?

@leaden ginkgodo the msq

[lilac bloom]

Yeah I am.

[dire prawn]

Do the MSQ

[leaden ginkgo]

Alrighty

I think I wanted to go Dark Knight before...do you know when I can do that?

[dire prawn]

When you begin the Heavensward MSQ

[flint pollen]

some where like lvl 50

[stone spear]

how long does it take for a character to leave mogstation after deletion\

[flint pollen]

i think and yes you have to pick of the quest as well

[hoary hawk]

what classes are more "fun" to play?

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok! Thanks so much 😄

[dire prawn]

All of them

[flint pollen]

well you can watch youtube and see how each class works

[hoary hawk]

scholar is pretty boring

[boreal storm]

The ones you like

[flint pollen]

btw you can pick a class and later on i think at some lvl you can work on other class on that same toon

no need to go to char page to switch

[hoary hawk]

i guess a better question would be which classes have an interactive rotation? moreso than clicking 1-2 buttons after set up

[stone spear]

i think drg and sam are the most fun dps, then gnb/drk for tanks. i do not heal or rdps. casters are both good just depends on if u wanna be a dmg god or good damage and help out

[flint pollen]

all you have to do is switch gear and you can try out other classes

[leaden ginkgo]

Sorry to ask another question, but what exactly is this "Returners Bounty" thing? 😅

[dim ridge]

You can't spend mettle to do that prestige-thing in zadnor until you beat dal right?

[flint pollen]

but there are some classes you can pick up and other at higher lvl like gunbreaker is lvl 50 i think

[leaden ginkgo]

Quick question for ivalice raid

This marks one of the main mechanics of the fight. Argath Thadalfus will either wear the divine or the demon face. The divine face is a white face, the demon face a bluish/black face with red eyes. Argath will also have buff icons according to the face. The important point is to do exactly as the command demands if he is wearing the divine and the opposite if he is wearing the demon face.

What does the command means tho
I saw eyes one, easy to do but the sword (1 and 3 swords?)

[hoary hawk]

how is tanking in ffxiv? i only have experience in everquest

[stone spear]

very fun

especially in higher end content

[obsidian patio]

the swords mean move/don't move

[leaden ginkgo]

Which one is move and dont move

[obsidian patio]

move for truth, don't move for lie

[stone spear]

how long does it take a character to remove itself from mog station

[obsidian patio]

usually a few hours at most

[leaden ginkgo]

What is amount of sword means?

[obsidian patio]

basically the same pace as the lodestone

[leaden ginkgo]

is it just how much?

[hoary hawk]

do you have a preference amongst them?

[stone spear]

bruh hours 😦

[leaden ginkgo]

I didnt wipe but i know i had no idea what i was doing

[obsidian patio]

should only be one sword? unless you're talking about the one outside of the mask mechanic

[leaden ginkgo]

I saw three sword thingy command in the command section

[obsidian patio]

hmm, either way there's only look/don't look and move/don't move

all the swords should be the same

[dire prawn]

Oh

I was gonna ask that too

What's the mechanic for final Rabanastre boss' mask/sword deal

Does he physically wear one of the masks or is it a status icon?

[obsidian patio]

it appears on your screen

[dire prawn]

Or is it the spectral pop-up you get before the mechanic appears

[leaden ginkgo]

These three

@obsidian patio

It is different swords it seems?

[tribal apex]

So if I wanted to jump into pvp what should be expecting?

[obsidian patio]

oh it's acting as a count down

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohhhh

whats PoTD hellsward?

[dire prawn]

For pvp to suck

[jade quartz]

Just the next fifty floors of PotD.

[leaden ginkgo]

unnecessary for HoH right?

[jade quartz]

No it’s required.

[leaden ginkgo]

@dire prawn

Demon and angel face

[dire prawn]

So if angel face do what he says

If demon face don't do what he says

[leaden ginkgo]

Ye

[jade quartz]

Yes, demon face = the markers are lying to you

[leaden ginkgo]

@jade quartz Wait, so i have to complete 1-50, then the next 50 to unlock HoH

[jade quartz]

Correct

[leaden ginkgo]

The sword as move indicator was confusing ngl

[dire prawn]

Do the sword icons do anything or just server as a countdown of sorts

[leaden ginkgo]

holy coow lmao

[leaden ginkgo]

Move count down it seems
Or stay count down in demon

[dire prawn]

So move if angel

Don't move if demon?

[jade quartz]

No, watch the subsequent mechanic

[leaden ginkgo]

I am confused ngl

Lmao

[dire prawn]

[jade quartz]

And either do what it says if Angel, or disobey if demon

[leaden ginkgo]

I only saw the eyes

And the swords

I dont get it

[jade quartz]

You get a marker above your head for quite a long time, and a system message mid screen saying “you are commanded to xxxxxx”

[leaden ginkgo]

ohhh

Wtf

I need to turn down my effects

[dire prawn]

So do the sword markers that appear after the masks but before the mechanic happens only server as a timer of sorts then?

[stone spear]

i have played all tanks and in order from my least to favorite i gotta say 4) warrior 3) palladin 2)gun breaker 1) dark knight. warrior in my opinion is just ass the gcd uptime throws me off a lot but the self healing is so good its rivaling palladin. its the best dungeon tank in a way (if you are hard carrying tho) palladin is cool its bread and butter and has a lot of utility but falls off for me at higher levels when it becomes a freaking mage XD in all seriousness its fine but personally in 6.0 it may be meta. gun breaker is the best dps tank and it is really squishy but makes up for it in the damage obviously. people who are good at managing CDs and know how to work with each healer, not against them, will do extremly well. dark knight for me is just goated. the theme is cool but really its the ogcd burst that it has in addition to the level 70 skill tbn. i think it is very strong and the one tank you can bring into 98% of all content blind lol. ppl call it warrior 2.0 or warrior rip off but they are just haters lol,

[jade quartz]

The swords are a countdown.

[leaden ginkgo]

So the move commands are written

I see

[twilit arch]

you only need to clear floor 50 of potd to unlock heaven on high @leaden ginkgo

[jade quartz]

Yes you have both text and an icon indicating what the command is

[hoary hawk]

so dk is a very "grab and go" kind of class?

I can get behind that

[jade quartz]

The command can be either move without stopping / don’t move / look at boss / look away

[dire prawn]

If you don't have the swords on you do you just either look at the boss or not look at the boss

[jade quartz]

Be doing the appropriate action when the swords resolve.

[stone spear]

yes. it starts at 30. ppl say it is not a good starter tank, they are so dumb it literally starts at 30 with all role actions and it eases u through the leveling process

[dire prawn]

Oh wait I'm dumb

So

He has a total of four actions then?

[jade quartz]

Yes

[hoary hawk]

alright, ill give it a shot

[dire prawn]

And commands you to do just one or can he give you two different commands?

[jade quartz]

Two pairs of opposites

Just one

[dire prawn]

Oh

[shut sable]

a friend of mine from Europe bought me a code for the complete edition. as i am an American, would i need to create a European square enix account in order to redeem the code?

[leaden ginkgo]

man thanks for explaining

[jade quartz]

But everyone in the raid will be doing different stuff

[dire prawn]

So it's one of those four and you either do that or don't do that

[jade quartz]

The command is individual to you

[twilit arch]

There's only one set of command, and you either do it as he says or you do the opposite

[dire prawn]

Fuck me that's a confusing mechanic

[hoary hawk]

is there a strat to leveling alt classes?

[jade quartz]

So don’t be alarmed by people doing other things.

[leaden ginkgo]

It is

[hoary hawk]

since no msq

[dire prawn]

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[twilit arch]

so if you get told to keep moving, but have a demon face then you stop

[hoary hawk]

oh, sick. thanks

[twilit arch]

you just pay attention to what face appeared and then the command given

its quite simple tbh

[jade quartz]

Oh it’s only f50 for HoH unlock huh...

[dire prawn]

Yes

F50 of PotD allows you to accept the HoH unlock quest

You actually need to complete F50 though

So don't be me and die on F50

[jade quartz]

The mechanic has three parts: mask (true/false), command (obey/do opposite depending on mask), and countdown to when you have to be doing it.

[grim plover]

am i meant to be a higher level then the msqs?

[dire prawn]

So you need to be doing the mechanic properly when the swords go away

[jade quartz]

It’s normal Nano

[dire prawn]

Yes nano

[twilit arch]

its pretty common to be overleveled, especially on a preferred server

[dire prawn]

There's one spot in ARR at the very end where the MSQ catches you on an unpreferred server but other than that you will always be higher level than your MSQ

[leaden ginkgo]

I wasnt aware the sword was timer

Wrong channel @outer mural

[latent finch]

at what level do you get a mount? im 27 now

[steep heron]

[outer mural]

whoops

apologies

[tribal apex]

Also 40 to 50 is dead palace worth doing? Trying to get to 50 on my dk to start doing msq for hw since white mage is boring

[twilit arch]

level 20 in the main scenario quest, after you've joined a grand company

[outer mural]

It's not exactly great exp especially because you're a tank

I think you should do a dungeon if you're very close to 50

[twilit arch]

general recommendation for tanks is to do dungeon spam

[outer mural]

mhm

[tribal apex]

Damn. Guess spamming dungeons and fates

[twilit arch]

potd is usually recommended for dps since their queues are longer

[lime remnant]

My game crash whenever i que up for neir third raid, Any help? Do I need to reinstall the game?

[latent finch]

hm, my MSQ is level 25 and i havent gotten a mount yet

[twilit arch]

uhhh

can you screenshot your main scenario quest tracker?

[tribal apex]

The msq takes you to get one

Just follow it

[latent finch]

ah i got one main quest thats 16 and one thats 25

the 25 one is maybe my arcanist quest

[boreal storm]

There’s only one main quest, so you might be misreading

[tribal apex]

Trust me when I say this, because I asked this a lot too. Just follow msq. Anything needed will be there.

[twilit arch]

arcanist would be your class quest, not main scenario quest

[latent finch]

it just always shows 2 quests

[twilit arch]

yes the top one is the main scenario quest

[boreal storm]

The top one

[twilit arch]

the one below is your class/jop quests (or very important side quests like your mount quest)

[latent finch]

ah ok ty

[tribal apex]

At some point I will need to do palace

Those weapons look dope

[latent finch]

im like violently overleveld, i think its cuz of the below lvl 70 xp bonus

[tribal apex]

You are

Most likely

Arr curve is stupid

[latent finch]

im just doing the hunter log and main quests

[boreal storm]

Over leveling means nothing when every other duty syncs you

[tribal apex]

Msq alone will be enough to get you to 50

[dire prawn]

Scudy

[latent finch]

should i just skip hunter log?

[dire prawn]

Let me tell you how violently I'm overleveled

[obsidian patio]

Sounds like missing/corrupted files, what error do you get?

[tribal apex]

Maybe

Honestly up to you

[dire prawn]

I'm so horribly overleveling my MSQ that I actually can't complete my 45 BLM quest

[tribal apex]

Now you nuke things

[dire prawn]

I straight up don't have the gear to do it

[lime remnant]

insta crash no error

[latent finch]

black lives matter quest? reeee

[obsidian patio]

[winged cobalt]

[boreal storm]

Oh hi boss

[latent finch]

i hate the fact that you need to dungeon find at some stages of the quest, just kills your flow to afk for 15 min waiting for a group

[dire prawn]

Hi Cleave

[winged cobalt]

don't you have

MSQ to be doing?

[latent finch]

my msq is to do duty finder

[shut panther]

Unfortunate but it actually something they've addressed in the latest expansion for the most part

[obsidian patio]

Yeah that sounds like broken files. I recommend backing up your character/system settings on the character select menu and then reinstalling the game.

[shut panther]

But it's kind of unavoidable part of the second m in mmo

[obsidian patio]

That’ll keep your hud and stuff intact

[latent finch]

i dont mind playing with other players, i mind not being able to continue my extremely easy quests cuz i need a group for one step

[shut panther]

The dungeon is the "meat" on those quests though

[dire prawn]

Actually I'm procrastinating in the middle of unlocking Ivalice raids

I'm in a cutscene at some point between Royal City of Rabanastre and whatever the second raid is called

[cunning loom]

i'm at that exact same spot

the raids don't really interest me that much but i heard it was a nice callback for people who played tactics

[latent finch]

is there a way to skip through quest dialogue and/or cutscenes faster?

[celest coral]

Ok. So alliance and potd is great until lvl 60 lvling? And HOH or whatever it's called iafter?

[cunning loom]

tab for no voice cutscenes

[dire prawn]

Don't forget your leveling roulette

[celest coral]

Right

Still has a dang queue ofc

[obsidian patio]

Alliance raid is always good experience

[shut panther]

Whether it will be a good experience..

[dire prawn]

World of Darkness says hi

[grim plover]

when i become a bard do i instantly get access to playing music?

[outer mural]

at level 30 yes

[dire prawn]

There's a very short quest at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre that unlocks Performance Mode

[outer mural]

you talk to Simpkin near Mih Khitto's Ampithreatre ( very close to the aetheryte) in New Gridania

[dire prawn]

Which is you getting to play instruments

[twilit arch]

Not instantly, no. you do need to unlock it

[mellow palm]

Hello

[dire prawn]

You get a whole big popup about what you can't play while in Performance Mode that everybody ignores

[latent finch]

is pvp still limited to 8 abilities?

[jade quartz]

There are more than that.

[jovial quarry]

It's been expanded to about 12-16 depending on the class but it's still not as large of a kit as pve jobs.

[latent finch]

ah ok

well its a step up at least

[mellow palm]

I stopped playing in 5.0, currently have to do Syrcus tower ... and I have forgotten almost everything prior

[flint pollen]

any one can tell me a map that has lvl 55 fates and not lvl 50s plz

In SB I ran into a boss or two, can't remember, who's tank buster wasn't casted

so just wanted to be safe

[mellow palm]

Bits and pieces yes, not all, I remember everything up to 5.0, I stopped playing at 5.0

[glossy flare]

Susanoo has super heavy hitting autos

[shut panther]

A couple hw dungeons definitely have uncast tbs

[mellow palm]

and I remember about 50% of 5.0

[glossy flare]

Technically not a tank buster tho

[mellow palm]

but Im invested in the lore and dont want spoilers / to continue without knowing

[remote lintel]

just read up to where you stopped

no wait

wrong link

[mellow palm]

I have the link

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1je6Vyv2zhiAt2Rn7eBOMg5fOMk-59U5gd8YBx3zd-zw/edit#heading=h.bjauhnykyzd3

but it doesn't say where 5.0 stops

[remote lintel]

the table of contents are quest names

[flint pollen]

try look in when did 5.1 started

that might give you the idea

[remote lintel]

5.0 end at "jet black villains"

the "shadow walk with me" are the role quests

[mellow palm]

ohh

thank you, I thought that entire toc was all SHB patches

and the crystal tower quests, I can just read the quests ingame and I'll understand right? (Since theres so few of them)

[remote lintel]

you can watch the cutscenes in game from the inn and you should get the gist of it

[mellow palm]

ty, ill get to reading now

[flint pollen]

thx and i see where i need to work on for exp

[storm iris]

god how do I even fish at diadem

[pastel sparrow]

how do i get the dyeable version of wyrm's armor (DRG relic) ?

[remote lintel]

wyrm's armor specifically is undyeable

[pastel sparrow]

is there no augmented version?

[remote lintel]

but you can take the drachen armor you got along with augment items and trade those for dyeable drachen armor

[upper cove]

How do we get said augment items btw

I never found out

[remote lintel]

craft them

with alchemist

or buy on mb

[upper cove]

Got it thabks ill look into it

[crystal tiger]

Any 1 have an idea how i can fix this?

[night sage]

this also happens to me randomly, albeit uncommon. using 5700xt gpu

just sometimes happen with chaotic battle effects going on or just being afk on some spot

[crystal tiger]

Can't start the game currently

[flint pollen]

? folks what are the pally's AoEs ???

[little swift]

Try #technology-discussion and provide your pc specs @crystal tiger

[outer mural]

Total Eclipse and Prominence

[little swift]

Total eclipse > prominence is the standard physical gcd combo

[outer mural]

then later on Holy Circle for magic phase

[little swift]

Circle of scorn for ogcd

Holy circle*4 > confiteor for magic aoe under requiescat

[marble smelt]

Good morning, just changed my password but when i try to log in it say the passw. is wrong, how i can fix? (I'm 100% sure the passw. i put in is correct)

Tried to change passw. few times, but everytime is wrong

[grim plover]

is there a place where u can buy clothes or something for glamor

[robust crow]

are you on free trial?

marketboard is the best option at lower levels

[grim plover]

yea free trial

[robust crow]

there's a clothier in uldah that sells some glamour wedding stuff

can't use marketboard on free trial though

[flint pollen]

take all damage instended for another party member = means what that i will absorb damage instead of others ?

[robust crow]

did they ever implement allowing free trial players to buy outfits from mog station

that'd be your other option

[final phoenix]

I’ve just reached heavensward and I’m getting destroyed by regular mobs. Is there a place I can just buy a full set of decent gear to help me not die?

[robust crow]

are you not wearing full augmented ironworks?

should be beyond fine for early heavensward

[final phoenix]

No

[robust crow]

go get that

lol

what have you been spending poetics on

[final phoenix]

Nothing. I’ve just been trucking through MSQ

[cunning loom]

did you finish your job quests up to level 50

[robust crow]

level 50 job quest gear is pretty shit

[final phoenix]

Yeah I did

[robust crow]

do you know what poetics are?

[final phoenix]

I’m a SMN

[cunning loom]

you wouldn't die immediately from regular mobs at least

[robust crow]

you should have a surplus of them

go to mor dhona dn buy as many augmented ironworks pieces as you can

[cunning loom]

focus on weapon/top/pants first

[robust crow]

start doing some roulettes for exp and more poetics

[final phoenix]

My armor seems okay. It’s my accessories that are awful

[robust crow]

what item level is your shit

[cunning loom]

seems?

[robust crow]

because augmented ironworks is i130

which is a huge upgrade from whatever you're probably currently wearing

[final phoenix]

My armor is ilvl 115

[outer mural]

ironworks accessories are the way to go, the game hardly gives you any accessories until later on

[robust crow]

are you wearing NQ gear?

normal quality gear is really bad

because it's several item lowers lower than what it says it is

but with i115 all HQ gear you shoudl be fine

[final phoenix]

Yeah, I think it’s NQ

[robust crow]

go to Auriana in mor dhon and get ironworks gear

upgrade your weapon first then get accessories or something

weapon is first priority even if your accs are bad

she's where the flag is

[final phoenix]

Sure. Thanks for the help

[robust crow]

do main story roulette once per day if you can stomach it

it's a huge exp bonus

like, 2-3 levels worth of exp at level 50 assuming you get praetorium

[flat yew]

has anyone here done the fishing relic grind? is it a lot more time consuming than a crafting one?

[robust crow]

leveling roulette is worth doing just for exp

50/60/70 roulette is okay for poetics

and try not to level only 1 class, if you are

[final phoenix]

One other question, what’s the fastest way to level DRK that isn’t dungeons. I’ve never tanked before and I’m nervous to tank dungeons with random

[robust crow]

pick up 2 or 3 more and work on them simultaneously

at level 30, with no dungeons, potd or command squadrons if you have them

but you should really do leveling roulette once per day on classes you are leveling

[remote lintel]

best way to learn is to just do it

[pearl mesa]

Are the craftsmanship minimum for the Ishgard restoration items really, really low, or am I just really bad at crafting? I can get them complete at that level, but not at high enough quality to actually turn them in.

[flat yew]

what level are you at?

[robust crow]

you are meant to get as high collectability as possible

before turning them in

[pearl mesa]

This was on 60-70.

I'm able to get them up above 300 collectability now, at level 70, once I could use my Handking gear. I couldn't consistently get above 300 collectability before, which is the minimum to turn them in.

[cobalt glen]

This is more of a lore question, but does the Warrior of Light (ie You and I) legit 1v1 primals? or is it canonical that there are multiple who aid each other

[flat yew]

mind telling me how you craft them?

[robust crow]

if we want to talk about canon

[flat yew]

because it sounds like you're not using the right actions

[robust crow]

in the story you're being helped by your "friends" who also have the echo or something

[midnight tinsel]

@cobalt glen alot of time they say you and your band of adventurers

[robust crow]

which is why they don't get tempered

[midnight tinsel]

At some point they even mention the free companies

[pearl mesa]

Great Strides/Innovation/Basic Touch/Standard Touch.

[cobalt glen]

Okay so your character is the only "warrior of light" but you get help from people

[pearl mesa]

You're kind of pulling in friends from alternate universes, I think.

[cobalt glen]

wack

[obsidian patio]

no

they're other adventurers for the most part.

[midnight tinsel]

Like the companie of heroes probably

[obsidian patio]

^

[midnight tinsel]

Is my headcannon

Like they also didnt have the echo

But it worked out for them

[robust crow]

they can't not have the echo

or else the primals would mind control them

[cobalt glen]

So like when i go into the Eden's Verse raids its supposed to be like.... the other scions who help me? or an unnamed band of adventurers...?

[jovial quarry]

The level 63 trial journal entry literally says you stumble across a group of adventurer friends who just happen to be on a fishing trip nearby.

[cobalt glen]

lmao

[gloomy mortar]

lol

[midnight tinsel]

@robust crow pretty sure we would know if riol had the echo

[pearl mesa]

So should I be using something other than Basic Touch/Standard Touch to get quality up in the level 60/70 range?

[obsidian patio]

prudent touch should be your general go to for that level range

!action prudent touch

[zinc orbit]

**Prudent Touch** : lvl 66 CRP (25 CP) (0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases quality at half the durability cost.
Efficiency: 100%
Success Rate: 100%

Unavailable when Waste Not or Waste Not II is active.

Powered by XIVAPI

[robust crow]

did riol engage in direct combat with a primal in the story? i don't recall

[pearl mesa]

Ah. So you're not really meant to be able to do the level 60 stuff before that unlocks?

[robust crow]

because most people are just like "ok ill just have to fuck off for this fight" and then dip out of the actual battle

[midnight tinsel]

@robust crow in ours no but he was part of the companie of heroes when they fought titan and leviathan

[obsidian patio]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TKBPwAl1JFLXe2v3Po4CydMYF1wqViOmMzWh06HSNyo/edit

[midnight tinsel]

Like if you were right everyone we met during the titan quest would have to have the echo

[hot eagle]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vgtU7HFtG87TrJ9U47vnzkFMhSl5HKz7bjJhRXbxaas/

[pearl mesa]

That would explain the problem. By level 66, I'd kind of assumed it was going to take the Handking gear to get me anywhere with the level 60 Restoration items.

[obsidian patio]

that's nonsensical.

If you need level 70 gear to do the level 60 crafts you're not doing something right.

...unless I'm misremembering which level the king stuff is

(damn se for using consistent naming on stuff)

[midnight tinsel]

@obsidian patio maybe its because of itemlevel ?

And meld

Like how ironworks is better then hw gear until lvl 55

[pearl mesa]

No, it's level 70. I'd been assuming it was a balancing problem somewhere.

[obsidian patio]

2nd tier of the level 60 craft needs around 622 craftsmanship, 643 Control, and 430 CP with the macro in the 2nd link posted above

[grim plover]

at what level should i decide if i like a class or not? 30?

[ripe hound]

How long do people take to clear the MSQ?

About 3-6 month?

[cunning loom]

uhh

[ripe hound]

On average?

[cobalt glen]

Took me over 250 hours

[cunning loom]

there's an extremely wide range for average

[ripe hound]

Make sense

[cunning loom]

i'm at 40 DAYS*playtime and at the end of shadowbringers

[ripe hound]

Hun, that was fast

[pearl mesa]

Daaaamn.

[cunning loom]

nope

not that fast at all

[cobalt glen]

did you read anything??

[cunning loom]

slow as shit

[pearl mesa]

Oh! That makes much more sense!

[cobalt glen]

OH 40 days

[cunning loom]

it's late lmao

[cobalt glen]

i thought you said 40 hours

[ripe hound]

lol

[cunning loom]

although i've been afk for probably 1/3 of that time

and then doing dumb shit like BLU/hand/land for another third

[pearl mesa]

They did, but it was a typo.

[obsidian patio]

wildly depends on the class, some are basically "complete" by the 50-60's, while others need until the 70's to come together

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I guess something more like... 3-18 month?

[obsidian patio]

you definitely don't need a year and a half

unless you're only playing like, 1-2 hours a day

[outer mural]

the minimum i would say is around level 60 when the actual nuances or qol parts of kits start coming in

[cunning loom]

i mean, maybe this might help a little? https://howlongtobeat.com/game?id=12654

[outer mural]

it's most prominent on jobs like ninja and paladin around that range

whereas it's more notable for jobs like RDM and SAM where they get a ew nuances around 60 to 70

[cunning loom]

[DRG doesn't even get aoe until 40]

[tired rover]

Does anyone know of a way to view the last time a FF Character logged in?

I know you can check the FC Member List and it will tell you theirs by day
I know the Friends List does as well..

Does anyone know of other ways? I have not seen it on lodestone.

[outer mural]

it's really a case-by-case scenario and you should watch a video about a class's skills and overview

like WeskAlber's

it won't tell you every nuance but it shows off what the class can do for the most part

[grim plover]

i just dunno how much time i want to sink into one class and end up not liking it

[outer mural]

what class are you on rn? i assume this is the one that's making you question if you wanna switch or not

[grim plover]

I have 30 paladin 30 bard and 15 monk

[tired rover]

Happend to me 🙂

[grim plover]

i was playing paladin then learned that bards can play music so leveled that to 30 for that purpose

[tired rover]

I just picked my Type of char first, then narrowed to the class... I prefer Magic Casting in general - So i ended up with BLM and a AST

[outer mural]

yeah definitely watch vids
paladin blooms around 50 to 60
bard and monk around there as well

[latent finch]

so i am a level 32 arcanist, ive just completed the level 30 arcanist quest and im not getting the quest to become a summoner, google said id get it here, do i need to progress msq aswell? or just the arcanist quests?

[outer mural]

i'll send a link to the PLD vid and you can probably find the other two vids from there

[warm snow]

And they just added a fender electric guitar

[outer mural]

bottom right on your character menu

hit the empty space

[warm snow]

!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.

[outer mural]

soul crystal like the thing says

equip it and ur summoner

[latent finch]

i dont have any soul crystal

[robust crow]

you may need to progress msq
