its fine, being overlevelled is completely normal, another option is to have another alt job that you can receive the msq exp with so you dont overcap so soon

flint pollen
#

not surprised and i hate bots on any game cause all they do when i end up dong things i get cut in and my mobs are dead before i finish the kill or what ever and i lose my progress on that mobs or what ever and i end up have to do more work

simple mulch
#

It didn't take long to get there. I read a guide saying stick with story mode to level your main class

flint pollen
#

ppl are botting so they can be just simply lazy

simple mulch
#

I started a second rogue

#

But stopped working on it because story gives you so much more exp

hard parrot
#

Yeye. If you’re slightly overleveled, that should be fine. I’d stick with the Lv23 and get it to Lv30 for the job, but if you really want to explore other options— go for it. Nothing stopping you.

simple mulch
#

And it couldn't do those quests

#

Im just not sure I'm even playing a tank rifht

leaden ginkgo
#

I'd go more into it, but not the right place to discuss things like this. Or saying something that could get me in trouble. Dunno what will get me smacked with a mute or ban in regards to it

hard parrot
#

You need to get your secondary/tertiary class to the story level if you want to continue the story quests. So you’d have to grind for those levels elsewhere.

Please pardon typos, screen is broken

ff games are the best and a very well invested game compare to others beside games that are more like guns and military which i am not a fan of

simple mulch
#

So basically im not sure how to so anything right in terms of parties

#

Which is what I really want to get into

hard parrot
#

Parties?

simple mulch
#

Having a group I eventually belong to

#

I mean how roles behave

#

I understand the logic and rules

#

But not the practice

plain python
#

in the last boss of Zadnor ship raid, what I'm supposed to do during the countdown when boss is near died to avoid damage?

flint pollen
#

btw before you do a dungeon Aery is to watch videos on youtube will help you a lot like the mechanics

simple mulch
#

I don't think Ive been playing my gladiator as a proper take

simple mulch
tropic flame
green grail
jade quartz
#

There’s no “tanking” to do in solo play.

upper flame
#

is there a way to feed multiple sessions for racing chocobo?

slow isle
#

How come

hard parrot
#

Well, parties are temporary. You can tank for a dungeon, but it’s not going to make you any friends.

If you’re looking for a community beyond a dungeon party, you might want to join a Free Company and see if you fit in. But that’s separate from tanking properly.

green grail
#

yes

simple mulch
jade quartz
#

In parties, you turn on Iron Will and do your damage rotation

tropic flame
jade quartz
#

And press your defensive cooldown abilities.

#

Nothin’ to it

flint pollen
#

well for one thing you are in early part which have got you so far but as you get higher lvls you will need to watch vids to help cause those upper lvl dungeons are very very rough and intense and also it just dont help you in mechanics but also as a party as a whole which makes easier for other players

jade quartz
#

Don’t worry too much

tropic flame
#

its fun to go into a dungeon blind though :3

simple mulch
hard parrot
flint pollen
#

im a tank too

jade quartz
#

All content short of extreme and savage is designed to be doable in one go, blind, by just about anyone

flint pollen
#

are you playing a gld ?

simple mulch
#

Me? Yes

upper flame
#

i'll ask again in a few i guess

jade quartz
#

One at a time.

simple mulch
#

But I thought I may have more fun as a spam mage

upper flame
simple mulch
#

Dps not spam

boreal storm
#

Well I mean...

flint pollen
#

when you go any where make sure your iron will (stance) up and when you get in dungeons it will need to be turn on cause most dungeons i enter i have to turn it on again

#

another thing is hit mobs to aggro them

#

not sure if taunting will do cause im confuse what ppl were explaining to me

tropic flame
#

mostly you wouldnt need provoke during mob pulls in dungeons if thats what you mean

flint pollen
#

sorry lyon

simple mulch
#

Actuallly pulling and keeping mobs attentikn is where I had the most trouble

jade quartz
#

Provoke places you at the top of the enmity table for the targeted enemy, and adds a smallish amount of enmity on top of that.

outer mural
#

provoke only targets one add, which is useful for initiating a pack from range sometimes but doesn't do anything after that if you're doing your job correctly

jade quartz
#

It’s primarily for tank swapping

flint pollen
#

but i will repost the picture and maybe you can tell me if im missing something

#

so use provoke ?

leaden ginkgo
#

Taunting is for two reasons. Grabbing a mob that's either just showed up or got away from you, and tank swapping

outer mural
#

...forget i said anything

#

just hit adds with your aoe

simple mulch
#

There was a quest I had to protect someone in mines or something and despite using my abilities and attack the enemies I didn't seem to really keep there attention

outer mural
#

don't worry about provoke

flint pollen
#

thank you jim

jade quartz
#

Use provoke for tank swapping or grabbing an add that has peeled off you

hard aurora
#

tank stance was off probably @simple mulch

tropic flame
#

or just use your ranged attack owo

flint pollen
hard aurora
#

thats usually your only answer, otherwise, well, theres little other explanation

jade quartz
#

What, an NPC?

simple mulch
#

Wow this is exciting but so much info

jade quartz
#

Sometimes they won’t stop hitting the NPC.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ranged attack isn't a guarantee though, it can take several hits to pull it over

tropic flame
#

doing hall of the novice helps :>

hard aurora
#

we hope u enjoy ur stay aeryndale :3

simple mulch
#

I don't have to worry about PK if I stay on leviathan, right?

jade quartz
#

Quest objectives dint always follow usual aggro rules.

hard aurora
#

PK?

jade quartz
#

There is no open world PvP in this game

#

There is no PKing

hard aurora
#

lOH

outer mural
#

ranged attacks will usually be enough to top aggro on one mob especially with tank stands on

tropic flame
#

you cant attack other people normally

outer mural
#

the issue is that you're not hitting every mob

flint pollen
flint pollen
jade quartz
#

Rix was this in a dungeon with other players

#

Or was this in a quest with NPCs

flint pollen
#

in the dungeon with ppl

jade quartz
#

What dungeon

#

Copperbell Mines last boss?

naive ridge
#

Do BLMs still use mana pots to squeeze out another spell?

outer mural
#

yes actually

jade quartz
#

It will ignore the tank after awhile and focus on destroying the cave wall.

hard aurora
#

i like to think BLM’s chug a pot in one go before chucking another spell out lol

leaden ginkgo
#

I've had ranged attack not work well enough to err on the side of caution on it for pulling a mob away from someone. Get it done fast and not mess around

tropic flame
#

BLM's are alcoholics

jade quartz
outer mural
#

yeah it's still just best to aoe everything once before you move on

jade quartz
#

Yeah ethers are a thing

naive ridge
#

Im taking up blm again but its been a while, i remember at one point it was used to fire off another flare

jade quartz
#

In endgame optimisation

naive ridge
#

any other situations?

leaden ginkgo
#

Queue for Dancing Plague please !

outer mural
#

this would be a better hyerpfocused question in The Balance

#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
naive ridge
#

ok thanks

outer mural
#

plenty of otpimizations and strategies there in the respective BLM channel

#

rix just answer which dungeon you had trouble keeping aggro in most recently

flint pollen
#

hold up im loading a picture lyon

#

and i will show what i go in often

outer mural
#

so yeah ala mhigo

flint pollen
#

duty types for example like lvl 60 dungeon like ummm and also i do in some of them i do lose aggro

simple mulch
#

A lot of these phrases are pretty new to me. I know of the main guide but is there a good beginners guide to MMOs that can teach me roles and terminology? I think I'll keep my glad and work on him but create a second casting dps and try it out to see if it fits me better. Which of the two, Thauma.... Or arcanist is more "fun"? If you had to pick? Summons are what hooked me on FF but I'm not sure they would be what I want in this game (ifrit and such) but I like the idea of healing too. Arcanist is or becomes a black mage which seems like it starts more exitIng but loses its glamour eventually. Any opinions?

outer mural
#

you may just not be hitting every mob man

jade quartz
#

This isn’t really helpful Rix

outer mural
#

idk what else to say, everything points to it at this point

#

can you describe how you pull add packs? do you hit them ALL with an aoe before moving on?

flint pollen
#

sorry idnk what you specific but i cant remember every dungeon

jade quartz
#

If it was the last boss of Copperbell, as I told you he will ignore the tank after a little while and go destroy the cave wall

#

No matter what

outer mural
#

i mean we don't need anything specific, we just wanted to know which specific dungeon to see if it would've been a dungeon specific iusse

#

pictures were unnecessary when you coulda just said the name

#

that being said, can you describe how you pull adds?

outer mural
flint pollen
#

ok there is one i hate the most is that place where the gold swap and looks like some kind of flower big mob and also at the end there was a tree boss that things spams so much like bad breath and stacking something i had to go the thing to get the buff off

outer mural
#

rix

#

that is not relevant to my question or the point

jade quartz
simple mulch
flint pollen
#

dont worry i will figure some how sorry

whole ember
#

is there any way to hide regular quests? ones that arent MSQ/unlocks etc.?

outer mural
#

both are equally capable of being learned

outer mural
#

really, pick whatever looks cooler. if you like the pets, go for it

whole ember
#

rip

outer mural
#

don't need to youtube, what lyon said was straight forward

#

you level them up and then do their job quests

simple mulch
#

Oopa

#

That was wrong reply

outer mural
#

hm?

tropic flame

why do you want to hide em? :O

ye

whole ember
#

just visual clarity, i dont really care to do any of them and i wanted em out of the way

outer mural
#

then watch weskalber's video if you want to see their skills explained

simple mulch
#

I meant to say to Lyon "thank you I got them backwards" and to Jim / pizza I would YouTube what the jobs eventually panned out to be. Pets are eh to me, but depending on what summons I can gain and how they behave it may not be the kind of summoner I want to be.

#

That video is what I was looking for when I said I'd youtube

outer mural
#

for fair warning

naive kraken
outer mural
#

summoner mains usually do not like the pets themselves due to jank reasons

tropic flame
boreal storm
#

They used to aggro enemies on their own

#

Which was really bad for hard content

whole ember
#

ye i just wanted the markers gone in general, nbd i cant but wouldve been nice

outer mural
#

you get access to bahamut and phoenix as special summon pahses later on if that is what yo're into

naive kraken
#

finish them XD

outer mural
#

but the regular pets are generally not looked upon favorably

tropic flame
#

some side quests that arent blue in color have nice rewards like for glam and emotes :D

naive kraken
#

kinda wish there was matching glam, mount, and barding for clearing all of an X.0 - X.XX non-job sidequests

simple mulch
#

Thank you all for your help, I'm sure I'll be back pretty soon. I have a pretty idea of the game basics from the trial but like I said, especially playing on ps5, I'm sure there'll be things I can't figure out plus tips for things like shopping. Also, while I unlocked every crafting class, I didn't work on them at all. I need to do thst

naive kraken
#

or something

flint pollen
#

ok i asked earlier about kugane about getting gears and where you go to get poetic gears and i know some one mentioned it a few hours ago so where again plz ?

jade quartz
#

Rowena’s Representative right next to the Kugane aetheryte.

simple mulch
#

But story is what got me into FF and most MMOs skimp on this and if there is a decent story, it doesn't seem to contribute to overall gameplay like this has.

thx you again

leaden ginkgo

is bard/dancer the only jobs with rngs ?

#

Machinist

jade quartz

Not machinist

#

Astrologian though

You’ve selected DRG for some reason

It automatically goes to the job you’re currently using

Oh but even im sorry I got confused

i mean is Bard And dancer are the only jobs that heavly rngs

is there a guide or something for squadrons?
like should i be looking out for specific classes to hire?

You can change everything about squadron members later

hard parrot
#

Yeah. You might want to recruit for races. They don’t matter too much, but there are slight bonuses here and there.

simple mulch
#

Ok thank you so much everyone. I'll hang around for a bit just in case. My last question is, I usually make a "Human" that resembles myself, but do certain races favor certain classes?

remote lintel
#

no

boreal storm
#

No

#

Race stats stop mattering almost immediately

flint pollen
#

there a market board in kugane ?

hard parrot
#

No.

Race is a cosmetic choice

in the markets

i want to get into it and i have a gladiator that applied, should i just hire him?

reef quiver
#

So why is it my fenrir bike is faster than my other mounts in bonja and zadnor?

twilit arch
#

because fenrir automatically has the first movement speed for a zone, you don't have the riding maps for bozja/zadnor

warm snow
#

Fenrir is special and always has at least level 1 mount speed in all areas

#

Buy the riding maps for bozja Zadnor and all mount will have level 1 mount speed

reef quiver
#

Wow didn't know that

warm snow
#

Afaik level 2 mount speed isn't in zadnor

twilit arch
#

if you buy the riding maps for them, they cost 25 clusters per map, the rest of your mounts will move same speed

#

and yes, there's no 2nd speed for the bozja zones

reef quiver
#

Riding maps right?

warm snow
#

Aye

twilit arch

yes

How does 1 get materia melded to my gear? Seeing conflicting stuff online. Do I need to level a crafter? Was told to take it to a melder NPC myself but they more or less say I'm not worthy

fallen topaz
#

Did you do the "wtf is a materia" bluequest

#

I forget the name, level 15 I think?

proud willow
#

there is an MSQ at level 19 that introduces you to materia

hollow briar
#

Breh

#

I probably have not

proud willow
#

It's also very unnecessary to bother with materia at low levels, due to the way that stats now work

hollow briar
#

Only thing I see online is a quest to introduce me to it if I'm melding stuff myself

Working on my Aug Exarch and Crypt gear xD

And for said quest it says I need a DoH at level 25

naive lotus
#

I asked in beginner lounge but no clear answer. so ill ask here. on Balmung, is there a certain city's housing area that is better for RP then others? like is one of the city's housing areas more of a RP hub?

proud willow
#

yeah I would check NPCs by Central Thanalan 24, 14 to see if you missed a quest there

#

if you have done the quests, a material melder NPC will put materia in your gear no problem

naive lotus
#

anyone have any idea? I am about to choose a grand company, so i want to choose the best one for RP in housing.

green grail
#

grand company doesn't affect housing

proud willow
#

I'm not on Balmung, but probably not? Also your Grand Company won't have an effect on your ability to get a house

naive lotus
#

oh ok

#

well other then the grand company thing, is one housing area better then another citys for RP?

naive ridge
naive lotus
#

i know, i just want to make sure i do the right one to try for in the future

agile laurel
#

gc makes zero difference for housing

#

i doubt anywhere makes any difference

naive lotus
#

i know for the GC. im asking RP wise.

agile laurel
naive ridge
#

It also doesn't really matter where your house is. You'd advertise or host your RP event in a PF or other things.

naive lotus
#

ah ok

agile laurel
#

realistically housing is so scarce it's impossible to localise RP into any area

naive ridge
#

people rarely wander around housing areas unless they live there

#

or their FC is there

agile laurel
naive lotus
#

ah ok.

agile laurel
#

generally you'll just find a lost sprout/gposer or population of the one active fc wandering around

Glamour the item and then equip it to your retainer

The origins of this one stretch far back, to a time even before the Flood. In that bygone age lived a Viis known as Mjrl, who pined for the world beyond the Greatwood. After much contemplation, she finally resolved to leave her home.
On the day of her departure, however, she hesitated, and at this very spot turned back to take in the forest one last time. Knowing that she could never return, Mjrl began to cry.
Her sorrow stirred the spirits of the Greatwood, and from where her tears fell sprung a bubbling stream. In time that stream became a river, now known as Mjrl's Regret.
These azure flowers personify Mjrl. When we set them flowing down the river, we honor the memory of those who have gone and remind them they have not been forgotten.||

how do some ppl walk in this game, i know on controller u can, but how do u do it with keyboard?

glossy flare

I don't remember what the default keybind is because I changed it

but well... you can bind any key to toggle walking

I personally use LMB + RMB to move like you can in WoW

Default walk keybind is numpad slash

if you mean like roleplay slow walk then yeah its one of the slash keys

which is a unique (meaning you can only have one)

Ah, alright thanks Vis. Apparently I have to be GSM level 30 before i can begin desynth as its greyed out now

if it's in the approximate level range then you get more levels per desynth

You only need a set amount of speed to get the required amount of gcds under buffs and inbetween buffs for alignment

More will throw off buff alignment in your overall rotation for no benefit

Basically everything is taken and the tiny few that aren't are camped by the horde

is there even any point in getting a house if youre gonna be clicking for 100+ hours

why is there a plot system anyways

cant there atleast be instanced houses

On all jobs

is it always preferred

Preferred status change on patches

So next change would be 5.58

i chose lich cause of friends being on lich

and thats standard

It's not a super important thing, it helps levelling alts abit by making it abit faster

you can put them in a machine in player housing and it'll play 0.1KB/s music ingame

Too bad they don't get atleast half the exp from my main class or so :C

10% mitigation and then an increase of an rng additional 15% mitigation

!action nebula

zinc orbitBOT

**Nebula** : lvl 38 GNB (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces damage taken by 30%.
Duration: 15s

faint flare
#

All tanks have a 30% mitigation tool

harsh torrent
#

ye

unkempt marsh
# harsh torrent you dont stack tank cooldowns right?

stacking the straight % reduction ones reduces each one's effective power because maths, but there are
a) some cooldowns which are so light you're okay to do that
b) some cooldowns which aren't a % reduction but are something else, which might also be a) and
c) occasionally in raids you'll want to stack big numbers because there's a HUGE single-target hit incoming

jade quartz
#

It has a longer cooldown.

harsh torrent
#

with WAR its a 35% with a parry

faint flare
#

Parry mitigation is the same across all job

jade quartz
#

!action vengeance

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Vengeance** : lvl 38 MRD WAR (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces damage taken by 30% and delivers an attack with a potency of 55 every time you suffer physical damage.
Duration: 15s

jade quartz
#

No parry here, and it’s still 30

faint flare
#

Cooldowns stack multiplicity

jade quartz
#

The hit-back effect isn’t what “parry” refers to

harsh torrent
#

meant literal parry

jade quartz
#

Parry is just chance to mitigate extra.

harsh torrent
#

I know yeahj

faint flare
#

So rampart + 30% makes like a 44% mitigation or whatever

jade quartz

That’s not even what the word parry means so...

Can i find mining nodes even if I dont have pickaxe equipped?

Also, GNB's general rotation seems to be get those cartridges and use that Wicked Talon combo in big payoff mode

with burst strike as an inbetweener when youre just wailing on enemies/the boss

Auction hammer on the map

astral edge
#

what about in ward selection

faint flare
#

It has the price of the plot

#

Opposed to the owners name

glossy flare
#

what you want in your no mercy windows is: A full cartridge combo, Blasting/Danger Zone, Sonic Break, Bow Shock and Bloodfest for some more burst strikes during no mercy

#

but bloodfest won't occure every no mercy window

astral edge
#

is it a certain color?

twilit arch

#

Just standard white

astral edge
#

alright thx

harsh torrent
#

heres a sketchy setup, IDK if its alright

#

if it works for you it's alright

harsh torrent
#

so I bust out no mercy, danger zone and sonic break

#

and then do my combo

astral edge
#

damn looks like theres no houses to buy

glossy flare
faint flare
#

Get the cartridge first

harsh torrent
#

yeah ofc

glossy flare
#

optimal timing for no mercy is after brutal shell btw

#

and then danger zone after solid barrel

harsh torrent
#

the plan seems to be do 123 twice, and then burst strike while saving up one cartridge, when its go time youll at least have one leftrover cartridge

glossy flare

exactly

#

you are always either preparing your no mercy window or executing it

Apologies for the basic questions that a million folks before me have probably asked - I haven't even started the game but I'm already hitting a roadblock deciding how I should be choosing all the region and language stuff as an expat in Japan. Here is what I understand so far:

  1. Play the non-Steam trial before playing through Steam (something about, no going back once you've linked Steam?)
  2. When buying the game on Steam, you need to buy in the same region as your Square Enix account (I assume this means, my Steam marketplace?)
  • This also determines how I get billed once I purchase the game, from what I understand? As in, I need Japanese payment info like a Japanese credit card?
  1. I can also select Language and Region when installing the trial - from googling around, I need to choose "Japan and Japanese" and then in-game I can change to English?

Does that all sound correct? Are there any other caveats I need to be aware of, or things I should do? My main concern is setting it up right so that when I return to the US, it's not going to get complicated. Sounds like from the character side I can do a simple world transfer, not so sure about the billing / buying expansions, etc

20 mil X 10 per stack of 10

@gritty oracle Oh I was thinking of Mage's Ballad, I thought I remembered it only procing the cooldown reset when your DoTs critted for some reason, I guess it's just when the DoTs do damage.

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a way to transfer a character from 1 account to another account?

grizzled marsh

All I know about BRD is it's freakin' impossible to make sure you keep a song up, your DoTs up, keep using your DD abilities AND not miss any boss mechanics all at the same time, lol.

faint flare
#

It not

#

It's called practice

grizzled marsh
#

I don't mean literally impossible, it's just really really really hard. I can't pay attention to that many things at once.

leaden ginkgo
#

See that's extremely fustrating

fervent wasp
# leaden ginkgo Yes everything correct

Thanks for the confirmation - does this mean that billing information can't change countries after initial creation? Since that would mean a SE account in a different region, buying the expansions in a different regino, etc

gritty oracle
#

As someone who's a hobbyist BRD main, I disagree. It's quite fun juggling procs, songs and IJ

leaden ginkgo
#

I would love to be able to play the game for free til 60 even tho I've had an account before

zinc bramble
#

It is fun but it is difficult to split your attention.

faint flare
#

Juggling your class stuff becomes muscle memory at a point

grizzled marsh
#

I mean I -like- BRD, it can just be mentally exhausting trying to deal with it during a hectic boss fight.

gritty oracle
#

Not every class is for everyone. If you find BRD too hard, you may want to switch jobs.

grizzled marsh
#

On the other hand I find DNC (granted I only just picked it up so still 60 and missing many abilities I'm sure) fairly simplistic.

faint flare
#

Cause it is

glossy flare
#

it is often referred to as the easiest job in the game

#

it gets a bit faster at 80 during their burst window

#

but that is really it, press the glowy buttons

grizzled marsh
#

So with DNC... is there any reason NOT to use your feather as soon as you get it? Like the abilities don't seem to do MORE damage if you have 2, 3 or 4 feathers. Is it just so you can hold onto them for more opportune moments?

glossy flare
#

you save them for your burst window later

grizzled marsh
#

Ahhh.

glossy flare

not overcapping of course

that burst window being technical step + devilment btw

Is there a client for NA and EU?>

My original main was PLD actually (because catgirls tanks are best tanks) and I find that rather easy too. Not as easy as ARR PLD was of course... but nothing's that easy, lol.

I just got to Namai and I noticed during one of the cutscnes, what looked like wolf people. They had wolf heads and everything. After the cutscene though, there were no wolf people anywhere in the village. Is this a race that comes back again later, or just a background filler? lol

I can't instantly have a new house

faint flare
#

Well I believe you get compensation of you already have a house

#

Basically get your money back

#

But all the plots should be all open

Including new ishgard plotd

Lupins are kinda here and there

glossy flare
#

They mostly appear in Doma related stuff

faint flare
#

Don't get to interact with them super much

glossy flare
#

no beast tribe with quests though, yeah

faint flare
#

Background npcs

open ember
#

Lupins don't have a beast tribe but they show up in the Namazu Beast Tribe unlock quests

green grail
#

kinda like padjal or whatever

open ember
#

And in the MSQ a bit

heavy wadi
#

lupins are fully integrated into doman society so they aren’t really a “beast tribe”

zinc bramble
#

I guess beastmen is the accurate term then/

#

Sounds weird

faint flare
#

Where's my playable lupins SE /ragethread

empty sluice
#

What should i grow in my housing plot that would give the best gil income?

heavy wadi
#

that’s server dependent

leaden ginkgo
#

What is the benefit of Standard v Entry subscriptions

empty sluice
#

Im completely new to housing as i just got one last week, so i have no idea

faint flare
#

That's it

leaden ginkgo
#

why would I want more than 1?

scarlet venture

leaden ginkgo
#

Market?

faint flare
#

Role-playing, avoiding weekly locks, playing on different data centres

#

Having more things to do juggling both characters

leaden ginkgo
#

I guess that's something for me in future

#

atm it's more getting through theg ame which is my issue

faint flare
#

Most don't have alts

#

Outside of maybe going to go play with others on a different data centre

#

Or the few raid alts

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah that's lost on me

#

the entire appeal was being able to do everything on 1 character

#

unlike wow where I had 1 of each class

faint flare
#

Not needed at all in the slightest

zinc bramble
#

Some people like to make alts for troll glamour purposes.

leaden ginkgo
#

troll glam?

zinc bramble
#

Can be funny but that is a lot of effort for a joke.

faint flare
#

Who needs an alt for that /s

leaden ginkgo
#

btw is there a way to change my name?

faint flare
#

Mogstation

#

Name change service on there for money

leaden ginkgo
#

Well guys I've done it

#

I'm back

#

that was pre-mature

#

netcode to verify

zinc bramble
# leaden ginkgo troll glam?

Name, race, glamour combinations. People will make close copies of certain NPCs or silly parodies of characters from other games/media. I had a dungeon with mario and luigi the other week.

Twintania has a guy named Daddy Godbert

tawdry otter
#

someone have a good squadron list which npc is bis?

cursive wind
#

thats all ive been doing 😦

glossy flare
#

it's at msq lvl 20

zinc bramble
#

It is not dependent on your level. It is just part of the quest line.

glossy flare
#

so compare that with your current msq level and you get an idea

cursive wind
#

oh its msq lvl 17 when i hover the icon

#

damn

zinc bramble
#

You will get there in no time!

glossy flare
#

then you're close, just gotta finish the first 3 dungeons

swift pasture
#

can I farm in bozja at lv 70? or do I need to be at lv 71 to enter

modest igloo
#

71

swift pasture
#

okey, thank you!

cursive wind
#

glossy flare
#

yeah, just keep going

#

why do people meld direct hit on Kirin armor?

zinc bramble
#

Because people love direct hit

#

Is there any mod that shows hunt targets on the map?

zinc bramble
#

Mods are against ToS

green grail
#

probably not since they still have like a limited render range

#

and the game won't log something it didn't load

spiral inlet
#

wait WTF

#

why is

#

Heavens Eye 7

#

less then Heavens eye 6

#

is this too early for me

faint flare
#

Because it's for overmelding

#

It's an upgrade of 5s

#

Not 6s

green grail
#

5 and 6 are the SB equivalents of 7 and 8

spiral inlet
#

Man... I never noticed lol

#

hey guys.. I'm level 30 atm... I've heard there's food that gives exp bonus... how do I get food?

zinc bramble
#

You can buy it off the marketboard or make it as a culinarian.

faint flare
#

All food gives xp bonus

#

So just got buy a ton of eggs from a merchant

leaden ginkgo
#

is there any that gives more EXP?

glossy flare
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

so it's all the same flat bonus

#

that's amazing

#

god this gqame

glossy flare
#

3% to be exact

leaden ginkgo
#

3% IS AMAZING

#

I've had people argue about 1% differences in wow to min/max

#

give me 3% more anything I'm happy

faint flare
#

There was some event cross over food with like papa John's but you can't get that anymore

green grail
#

there was a sweet bun promo item that gave +4% but yeah its kind of a meme

glossy flare
#

what makes food distinct is their stat bonus, but that only matters in an endgame context

leaden ginkgo
#

I think my character was a scholar

#

are they still good as a first char?

faint flare
glossy flare
#

any job is

There was a papa John's promotion

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh I'm not talking about meta

#

I'm more speaking of to play the game / story and progress

#

between gladiator and maruder, what does everyyone think is more of a fun class for a new player?

glossy flare
#

whoops, wrong reply

#

either

#

you wanna be a big axe guy or you wanna be sword and shield guy?

leaden ginkgo
#

whichever said new player thinks is cooler

glossy flare
#

very subjective

swift pasture
#

whats more fun depends on your preference tbh

modest igloo
#

do you want sword and shield or big axe?

leaden ginkgo
#

I picked Marauder because I didn't realize it was not a DPS class

glossy flare
#

it's a tank

faint flare
#

Tank job

glossy flare
#

ah 😄

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah I missed the not part there haha

#

I was like Ohhh marauder sounds awesome

#

smack smack

#

IRC... ti's a tank

zinc bramble
#

All classes are DPS classes :). Some just also tank and heal.

modest igloo
#

Inner Release sure makes me forget im a tank lol

shrewd prism
#

I have this problem of rerolling everytime to a new class.. never get past 20-30 because I get bored of the skills... I need to stick it out... because classes get better later right... -_-

modest igloo
#

yep

#

most start getting good at lvl 50-60

glossy flare
#

all of them are pretty slow until 60 or so

modest igloo
#

then at 80 they all feel great

leaden ginkgo
#

mm some get faster before level 60

#

red mage feels great at the start, machinist does by 40-50ish

#

try those maybe

upper flame
#

are retired chocobo registrations still useful after completed breeding of the next tier?

shrewd prism
#

are any classes ping dependent?

faint flare
#

Machinist is the only real major offender

#

Due to heat blast and higher ping making it impossible to weave during it

zinc bramble
#

The classes with more double weaves and burst windows, yeah.

shrewd prism
#

ninja and monk should be alright?? I have like 200ping from Australia -_-

zinc bramble
#

I have heard some people complain about ninjas. Can't confirm because I haven't played.

limpid glacier
#

are the level 60 idyllshire blue quests all dungeons?

faint flare
#

Those jobs single weave anyway so should be fine

glossy flare
#

there's also the HW raid and the HW relic

robust briar
#

Im lvl 60 for free trial. should i buy the starter edition or complete edition?

modest igloo
#

complete

glossy flare
#

to level up higher you need complete

#

trial and starter edition are identical in content

robust briar
#

ok thanks

plain python
#

do I get anything for completing all lv80 ShB class quest?

faint flare
#

The quests from your trainers? No afaik

#

Doing all role quests gives you an additional quest line for lore

astral edge
#

is it fine to not remember side characters and stuff if youre invested into the story

zinc bramble
#

Side characters have a tendency to return. Not all of them, obviously.

#

But just have fun!

astral edge
#

i basically forgot everything from base ARR other than the main progression of major events

#

which i still dont really remember that well

#

and now im in arr+ not knowing who tf these side characters are

#

"hey anarchy! remember how you saved me from" "no"

zinc bramble
#

You can always review scenes in the inn if you want to review. Otherwise, just do what you find fun.

astral edge
#

i did review some scenes tho i dont wanna go through all the scenes so

#

eh

zinc bramble
#

I don't think you should feel pressured to do it if you don't want to.

#

Story will still be good.

twilit arch
#

i wouldnt worry too much about it

#

if you don't remember them, you don't remember them 🤷‍♂️

zinc bramble
#

I am on my second time through the MSQ and there is a lot I missed the first time. It was still good. The second time has been a treat though.

twilit arch
#

can always ask here "who was so and so" if you really want a refresher

astral edge
#

i had to look up louisioux levelleuir cause they never mentioned them or atleast i dont remember so

This is a long shot but here goes. I originally had finished the quest to get Soul of the Crafter(s) back in HW. Came back way late into ShB, looked at these and had no clue what to do with them and tossed them. Now that I know what they're for, is there a way to get them back?

if you keep applying mnemes then after some upgrades you get more "lines"

Is there a way to activate the game on Steam if I bought it through SE's site?
