ctrl +c by default

right i just mute it on my volume settings
i was just curious on if there was a button/command that would be more convenient instead of alt-tabbing and opening that up is all
wheat plume

it isn't

if you have it set to be muted in the background, then Alt+Tab becomes your mute hotkey lmao

If I were to take the quests on ShB as my Paladin that is 44 and do it on my Samurai that is 71, will my Paladin get the exp?
outer mural

glossy flare
You can neither accept nor turn in quests as a job that is too low for that quest
wheat plume
nice, I never entered the Shared fates menu before lol
is that to see which fates I've cleared in each area?
young steppe
Oh
sweet leaf
i don't even know what shared fates are, i haven't unlocked them lmao
young steppe
Cool cool
twilit abyss
this does not happen when using straight shot to trigger it
outer mural
i don't even know what shared fates are, i haven't unlocked them lmao
shadowbringers stuff
do a fate in any shadowbringers zone to get started
gated off by MSQ though i believe
glossy flare
this does not happen when using straight shot to trigger it
no, barrage grants that effect
which you can then use on straight shot
straight shot grants you nothing
young steppe
I understand that side-quests is not imperative to be done, unlike MSQs, but how are the side-quests in ShB in term of story-wise?
twilit abyss
@faint flare
outer mural
all side-quests give some pertinent worldbuilding thing
really subjective
given the context of shadowbringers it give a lot of context to the situation you're in so if you're interested in that, go for it
wheat plume
I understand that side-quests is not imperative to be done, unlike MSQs, but how...
I've done/read every sidequest in HW, SB and ShB up until msq 79, I liked more the ones in HW, but in ShB the role quests are great, the lack in side-quest-quality-as-in-HW is compensated for the good quality of the role quests
young steppe
What are role quests?
faint flare
Your job quest replacement for Shadowbringers
You're Introduced to them after the first dungeon
They're mandatory for story
glossy flare
correct
young steppe
DoH/DoL?
faint flare
Nope in true fashion
young steppe
I see
wheat plume
IIRC only 1 of them is mandatory? I could be wrong because I'm not in endgame yet

They still have job quests, but they’re more of a “where are they now” type of thing

1 set is mandatory for the stort

They're doing role quests again in endwalker

hey can anyone explain how master's recipes work?
so when I purchase a book, can I choose the specific recipe I want to get with that book?

ah I see, any associated with that level?
simple swallow
If that server say legacy those that mean exp bonus
heavy wadi
no

Mm
leaden ginkgo
so when you buy the book from the scrips exchange it just automatically gives you the recipes or do you have to activate it somehow?
heavy wadi

you have to use the item
simple swallow
So what legacy then?
heavy wadi
just DCs that existed in ffxiv's 1.0 version
leaden ginkgo
oh nice, pleasantly surprised the scrips grind is not bad at all
So I have no use for the Phial of Phantasia I just got. Problem is trading these items is strictly prohibited. Another problem is that its taking up space in my inventory.
What would yall recommend?
leaden ginkgo
I mean I’m willing to trade it for gil, but I hear that the mafia will kick your ass for doing so
glossy flare
just use it
heavy wadi
you can't trade fantasia
young steppe
you can't trade fantasia

glossy flare
using it just gives you the ability to edit your character from the login screen
it's not time limited
leaden ginkgo
Ahh
glossy flare
so it would be gone from your inventory and you still have one edit for a rainy day
leaden ginkgo
Good idea
bronze pawn
did they remake the Seventh Astral Era questline, i heard it really long?
bronze pawn
what is it before?
glossy flare
around 150 iirc?
twilit arch
100
glossy flare
ah nvm
bronze pawn
how are those quest line? better than ARR?
glossy flare
I mean... it's subjective
generally it's thought to be the lowest point in the storyline
glossy flare
because it kinda meanders with somewhat weird pacing
outer mural
most people don't like it because it's long and right before heavensward
twilit arch
for a fair number of people it starts out pretty slow/low
glossy flare
still has great bits though
twilit arch
but it gets better as you get further in
outer mural
mhm
twilit arch
kind of like base arr itslf
outer mural
the only advice i can give is pace yourself
glossy flare
the end especially is not only important for setting up Heavensward but also just generally great
bronze pawn
when people said ARR is a drag does it include Seventh Astral Era? because im enjoying ARR so far, Level 44
twilit arch
yes
glossy flare
they usually mean the patch ARR quests too, yeah
so if you enjoy it then great, go have fun
twilit arch
a fair number of people also get told "it gets better in HW"
and kind of go in with the mindset of "I have to get to HW to get to the good stuff"
which kind of hurts them a bit
outer mural
truth be told i feel the status quo of 'arr bad, hw good' is more harmful than anything because it paints the picture that ARR is hot dogwater when it isn't that bad
the pacing is not great no but it's perfectly enjoyable
twilit arch
^ basically ye
outer mural
people generally get too caught up in 'man this is delaying me to heavensward'
glossy flare
we basically have that discussion every 2 or 3 days 😅
twilit arch
that said tho, if you don't enjoy it its fine too. not everyone is going to enjoy it 🤷♂️
bronze pawn
if ARR was an anime so far it a 6.5 for me, how good is heavenward in your opinion?

I'm trying to get my friend to play this game, and even offered to pay sub. But I'm thinking whether or not I should pay for a story skip to Heavensward, since I know he isn't the most patient of people. And I can just summarize the story
obsidian patio
If you’re going to get them a story skip, they basically need a job skip too
The story is the best experience for your first job
dark copper
Is it possible to choose which expansions to skip to? Or do you just skip all of them

vapid sonnet
i chose visit other world on the login screen and now im stuck behind a 3000 player queue when normally it would be at most 40, any way to switch back to my home world?

I just spent like 2M on gear it's insane
and I still don't have enough craftsman and control
lol
manic heath
are the dragonsong post-HW patches including in the trial? like 3.1+, or just up to 3.0
obsidian patio
Yes
manic heath
lord it's like half the game

everything is included up to the first quest of stormblood

Not including 4.0 itself
outer mural
it is literally half the game yeah

the crafted gear isn't "top"
leaden ginkgo
@obsidian patioso how would you recommend to meld one craftsman one control highest level?
robust crow
it's entry level at i510
and also you're going to spend even more than 2m pentamelding this gear
it's not really worth doing this late into the expansion
leaden ginkgo
I have all the aesthete gear
robust crow
yeah the aesthetes gear is like 40% of the actual cost
outer mural
just meld more
robust crow
you're about to dump 2-4 more mil into just materia
outer mural
there's really no avoiding it
leaden ginkgo
but why? don't you only need one?
robust crow
to make a gear set that costs less than 1.5m
obsidian patio
Depends on how well melded you want to be.
robust crow
and is virtually instantly dilapidated by decent higher end gear
obsidian patio
I only have one overmeld in most of my Aesthete gear and can do 4-star stuff
outer mural
you gotta pentameld if you need to raise your craftsmanship besides arguably doing the relic and maybe subbing out pieces of white scrip gear if you haven't melding certain pieces
hollow saddle
Is there any point in doing the quest to get these anima weapons now as I assume they'll just be useless when i get into Stormblood and further on.
obsidian patio
Which is a lot of money saved
leaden ginkgo
what is pentameld
outer mural
overmeld with 5
obsidian patio
Is there any point in doing the quest to get these anima weapons now as I assume...
In terms of a functional weapon, no.
outer mural
which is not always needed
leaden ginkgo
lol what is overmeld
hollow saddle
In terms of a functional weapon, no.
Okie, thanks 😄
obsidian patio
When you meld past the visible slots
robust crow
you meld meld up to 5 materia into 1 piece of aesthetes
leaden ginkgo
I thought you just meld a materia to piece of gear and it increases stas
vapid sonnet
is there any way to cancel a server visit from the login screen because the queue is insane
leaden ginkgo
what am I missing here?
outer mural
yes
robust crow
no lol
outer mural
that is correct
robust crow
you meld up to 5
outer mural
but crafted gear has 5 slots instead of the usual 2
robust crow
any additional meld that's after the default has a significant chance of failure
down to 5% on the final meld
outer mural
the 3 slots above the usual 2 will have an RNG chance to break and not be slotted in
yeah
leaden ginkgo
oh? but even then it's like what 7k for craftsman competence and cunning no? so that's not 2M?
outer mural
the RNG is hot dogwater
robust crow
yeah well when you fail 80 materia melds in a row
faint flare
It breaks
robust crow
on one piece
faint flare
Alot
leaden ginkgo
hmmm how do you raise the chances of meld?
outer mural
you don't
robust crow
it's hard coded
outer mural
it gets lower as you meld more
obsidian patio
It’s meant to be a materia sink
leaden ginkgo
fugg
robust crow
you can probably manually craft exarchic gear if you use all your procs and ignore macros
obsidian patio
But again, you don’t need pentamelded to do 4-star crafts
faint flare
It's based in the materia tier and slot
outer mural
the reason why it's expensive isn't because of the materials, it's because you are at risk of destroying all your materia to get stas on your gear
obsidian patio
You only need the first over meld at most for most slots
outer mural
it's do-able, albeit harder, to just meld at that point yeah
robust crow
and again, this is to craft i510 gear
outer mural
dependso n breakpoints and math but it's do-able
robust crow
which is like, the basic starter gear
leaden ginkgo
I see
robust crow
you can literally just do e9-e12 and get a bunch of i510 gear in under an hour
leaden ginkgo
and how do you get the best gear?
outer mural
really it's only needed at this point if you want to craft 4-star stuff
robust crow
raid savage or revelation tomes
outer mural
which is mainly current food and current crafted armor
leaden ginkgo
@robust crowso I can use revelation tomes to buy crafter higher il gear?
robust crow
no
rustic flare
I have been promoted to Serpent Sergeant about to be promoted to Second Serpent Lieutenant. With that ranking, I will be able to participate in hunts, but just not elite hunts. Am I right?
obsidian patio
Most of my Aesthete gear has these melds
1 Craftsmanship VIII
1 Control VIII
And 1 CP of the highest grade needed to cap the stat
polar flame
time for some tea and late night ffxiv 
obsidian patio
If Control or Craftsmanship are already near the cap, double-up on the other
leaden ginkgo
@obsidian patioI see, and this is all worth it to craft the exarchic right? in the long run anyways?
obsidian patio
Nah
robust crow
also should note that better gear reduces the amount of HQ materials you need
no lmao i keep telling you
it's not worth it
obsidian patio
If you just want to make it for using yourself it’s not worth it.
robust crow
not this late into the tier and especially not if you are only crafting it for yourself
outer mural
I have been promoted to Serpent Sergeant about to be promoted to Second Serpent ...
elite marks should be available along with regualr hunts
the unlock quest that is
obsidian patio
I only recommend melding at this point if you want to make Gil.
leaden ginkgo
nono, I mean for selling to make gil
outer mural
i do not recall needing ah igher rank to unlock the elite marks, just level
robust crow
there's way better ways to make gil that's also less tedious or grindy
obsidian patio
And even then most of my money making is from crafts at and below 70
robust crow
but yeah you can make gil that way
obsidian patio
Or aren’t 4-Star
outer mural
exarchic is oversaturated at the moment, along with foods and stuff
4-stars are overrated for making money especially when it's so competitive
leaden ginkgo
@obsidian patiomaster crafts? exarchic sells like hot cakes tho
obsidian patio
Which means plain Aesthete is all you need for the most part.
Sure but the margins are tight if you don’t gather the materials yourself
outer mural
or the white scrip gear
leaden ginkgo
then again we're getting a lot of new players so ye lvl 70 could also bank
outer mural
it takes a lot of effort and it's super competitive
it sells like hot-cakes until you realize everyone's buying pieces that aren't your's
obsidian patio
I’m making glamour gear that sells for 200k-400k with one selling every day or so
And they only cost like 30k to make
robust crow
glamour gear also takes like minimal effort
obsidian patio
Sure, but the older stuff can be killer
Like replica Allagan/high allagan
Or replica sky pirate
outer mural
i sometimes buy cheap zurvan mats to make demon stuff and those can net me a few 100k's profit
robust crow
byakko weapons are selling for a lot
leaden ginkgo
hmmmm are the requirements to craft those insane tho?
robust crow
like 500k+
obsidian patio
Primal weapons too
robust crow
no lmao
obsidian patio
Replica allagan is level 60 crafts
robust crow
level 70 and under is literally completed with 1 button
and doesn't need any gear at all

Powered by XIVAPI
obsidian patio
Those two skills basically 100% HQ most crafts at and below 70
robust crow
anything 70 and under is a 2 button macro
outer mural
the fact of the matter is that people hyperfocus on the top-end stuff when a lot of money is made from older items
obsidian patio
Maybe a second groundwork is needed for some stuff
robust crow
it doesn't help that i510 gear is farmable in under an hour
and takes 0 skill or effort to get
at least exarchic is upgradeable to 520
which costs allegory though
obsidian patio
Or that Bozja content gives basically free i515 and i525 left-side gear for doing your relic

hey wynne give me the secret on what you do for glam sell

I'm guessing it's a real bitch tho no?
obsidian patio
Eureka is basically a gamble at money
leaden ginkgo
otherwise everyone would do it
outer mural
you sit around and AFK for bunnies
it's just that people don't touch eureka besides the people taht know about it
obsidian patio
It’s a grind to get to the point of grinding it for money.
Since you need to level up and do eureka story
outer mural
the fact that there's a heavy time investment gate makes it lucrative since there is sparse competition on actually farming it
leaden ginkgo
how long does it take to get to the level needed?
outer mural
highly recommended to get up to 50 in pyros
leaden ginkgo
so couple days prob couple hours a day?
outer mural
sounds about right, depending on the pace
leaden ginkgo

I find DF more fun than story. So I kept procrastinating.

No one can help you with that

i ain't your mom but what you have been doing is not at all pragmatic

Yes
outer mural
yes

Do them

skills are good

100%
outer mural
firstly, you should probably do MSQ in order to do higher level content
heavy wadi
there’s absolutely zero, zero reason to not do them.
outer mural
secondly, when you do, your skills will be relevant
dire prawn
If you're in HW you can do all of the 50 - 60 job quests regardless of where you're actually at in HW

Yes so when you get off your ass you actually have skls

thirdly, as people have said, there is no reason to not do them

you will be kicked from 50+ content if you don’t have your skills.
outer mural
it is ridiclous you are still trying to justify not doing them by sticking to that level of content when there is so much more to the game
dire prawn
Which will make HW easier until you make it to Idyllshire where you can get i270 Augmented Shire
primal relic
I was going to do them once I clear HW
dire prawn
Do them before you clear HW so that you have your skills going through HW
outer mural
and would probably help if you did decide to do them in the middle of HW
faint flare
Do them as you get to new dungeons
heavy wadi
and for the record, nn is often… very wrong.
dire prawn
All of your healing tools are 50 - 60
heavy wadi
or have trolls.
primal relic
I don’t play any class that I hit 80 with
heavy wadi
don’t take it as gospel.
outer mural
yeah whoever told you that on novice network have zero idea what they aare talking about
that's fine, it's still important to get them as you progress no matter what class you're on
you're literally missing 3/4th's of the game's content by not continuing on
faint flare
God it must be so boring to level to 80 without proper dungeons to do
primal relic
Yeah I know just feels really boring and cliche doing story
It’s actually pretty fun
outer mural
with all due respect i cannot imagine what justifies having 30 levels of skills to go but still staying at level 50 contentwhen you find the game fun as is
and just refusing to unlock the rest of the game
primal relic
My GNB is my next grind to 80
outer mural
if you find it boring it is probably pragmatic to just skip yeah
if it is really that bad for you
primal relic
Yes but everyone told me that it’s a FF game and it’s all about the story
And that HW has best story out of other expansion
outer mural
that's true, but it's really up to personal preference. literally anything is better than what you're already doing
flint pollen
yes it is but you can skip but your skill is msq and lvl locked quests
twilit arch
If you aren't enjoying the story, then there's no reason to force your self to play thru it
flint pollen
so you have no choice but to do them
twilit arch
plus there's always ng+ if you wanna go back thru it
outer mural
mhm
twilit arch
so buying a skip isnt the end of the world
that said you do still have to do the latest expansion's msq
outer mural
the gameplay also starts ramping up as you go on
it gets much more engaging past level 50
primal relic
No I gotta read thru it. I just been clearing all blue/side quest in ARR and grinding to lv80 w/ lv50 DF for 3-4 subs
is fine
is not fine
faint flare
primal relic
Why does no one like doing side quest? I thought they were fine.
pure zenith
the blue ones are fine

They're trash xp

noet always, if someone wanna enjoy the tiny bits of minor story, doing all sidequests is pretty good
sinful comet
what is a good level to start doing jobs at such as mining, fishing, etc.?

For yellow

If you’ve been at the same point doing the same dungeons for 3-4 months… no wonder you don’t like the story

blue ones unlocks content, yellow is purely minor lore

Do your gathering log
dire prawn
Why does no one like doing side quest? I thought they were fine.
Trash exp, trash gil, 99% of them have no reward like mount or minion or something
They're pretty much entirely for lore purposes
flint pollen
let me advise if it is that boring just mute the game and listen to music and play the game
sinful comet
Do your gathering log
I haven't unlocked that, is it unlocked from a blue quest?
flint pollen
you will pass the times
slate arrow
Do you mean how or when to level?
wheat plume
Why does no one like doing side quest? I thought they were fine.
I love them, but less than 0.1% players do/like/read them
slate arrow
Gathering log is unlocked after you unlock the relevant class
As for when, I'd recommend after 60 and completion of 3.3 Heavensward for ishgard
But you can start whenever
sinful comet
OH okay, thx!
primal relic
Yeah I already clear all of ARR blue/yellow side quest. I probably wait till end of HW to clear this expansion set of sides. And I’ll start doing my job quest when i unlock my first HW dungeon, since it feels fine right now.
dire prawn
Your first HW dungeon in the MSQ is at 53 with Sohm Al
flint pollen
and do your msq too
wheat plume
Yeah I already clear all of ARR blue/yellow side quest. I probably wait till end...
If u wanna enjoy more the story, I reccommend clearing them as soon as they appear, also crafters/gatherer jobs quests, in HW they add A LOT of context, I really enjoyed more the plot in HW in sidequests and job quests than in msq
heavy wadi
Yeah I already clear all of ARR blue/yellow side quest. I probably wait till end...
Do your job quests first, not then.
dire prawn
But if you want to fly you'll unlock the optional 51 dungeon Dusk Vigil
faint flare
Technically 51 side dungeon with dusk vigil
outer mural
the number one thing you should be doing is just doing the msq and not getting sidetracked again
if you want to live in duty finder fine, it just genuinely hurts me to hear you're not trying to reach for what the game fully has to offer

outer mural
you could probably tweak settings for people outside of your party to only show if they're below 100% health

its good if your queue times are 15+minutes

Even at its release

Hunting log is pretty stinky exp after level 20
twilit arch
it was only better than dungeons if your queues were 15+minutes

that + queueing for highest dungeon should be the most efficient one
as long as the dungeon level doesn't end in a 0 it's fine i believe

Agree to disagree on that one 🙂 that was just my experience

well for dps without friends, potd might be more efficient

it depends on the role
remote lintel
subtle lily
What is this palace you speak of?
oak ice
No, it depends on if you have queues longer than 15 minutes
patent citrus
potd is nice too I guess, but the traps just requires focus sometims
dark copper
No, it depends on if you have queues longer than 15 minutes
which is generally the case for dps roles
twilit arch
but not always
heavy wadi
server dependent
oak ice
And even then, squadrons exist, which is better exp since it's dungeons without the queue time
patent citrus
and one day i got queued into random and we all died to trap, received no exp and had to repeat from floor 51

Dungeons also probably give more exp per run anyways

What is this palace you speak of?
randomized set of floors that has its own leveling system inside but gives you exp for your class/job outside of it so its a decent way to level since it doesn't have a strict party composition

for dps jobs, it's easier to find a friend to do fates to power through to level 15. then just always do the highest level dungeon, unless that dungeon level ends in 0 (with the exception of halatali, which gives good exp)
