[green grail]

honestly its glam at this point so stats are pretty irrelevant

[stoic sandal]

[faint flare]

If you buy on Non steam you can't use steam at all

[spiral inlet]

I want to use it in Eureka tho

D:

[faint flare]

You get Eureka bonuses later

Through baldesion arsenal items

After its fully completed

[spiral inlet]

hmmm ok

[plain python]

is it worth to use L2 in 24-man for all bosses before final boss/

[patent citrus]

my mistake, it's previous savage tier

[stoic sandal]

Also I feel like the game uses my CPU more than my GPU

Because it keeps overheating

[strong lark]

If your CPU is overheating its not the game

[plain python]

add more fans will work in that case?

[green grail]

do you mean LB? a lot of bosses reset the LB bar

when you pull

[strong lark]

You have a problem, you need better flow, a cleaning, re-application of paste, something.

[patent citrus]

I guess it's possible with proper planning, knowing the class and the fights properly. Comparing melee and summoner is a stretch, but smn still "requires" double weave

[misty kestrel]

Would this NPC happen to have a name? Place is huge.

[faint flare]

It's not in Azya lla

[patent citrus]

the one close to aetheryte, there should be a daily quest mark

[faint flare]

For souls

It's by the astro guild

[twilit arch]

soul of crafter is bought with yellow scrips

[faint flare]

Blank souls are sold via scrips

Given to the gear near the astro guild by the docks

[twilit arch]

Alderan is the npc you exchange them to

its in ishgard, not azys lla

[misty kestrel]

Ah, that makes sense. I knew of the guy who wants them, just didn't know how to reaquire them.

[honest anvil]

impressive nonetheless. #respect :3

[patent citrus]

my mistake.. the one in Azys La is "Soul without Life" sorry..

[misty kestrel]

Thank you for the help.

[north viper]

just wanna ask where can i get help here on fixing unable to patch?

[midnight slate]

Is there a Bozja discord?

[pure wedge]

Is there a place around Ul'Dah where I can buy mega potions?

[crimson crystal]

https://discord.gg/Q92V7y4

[midnight slate]

Thank you

Did they make Bozja memory farming easier in 5.5?

[faint flare]

They only changed the artifact step

[heavy wadi]

^

DR now drops 3 timeworns per run

that’s all they changed

[midnight slate]

Still gotta farm heavensward fates ok

[faint flare]

Bojzan is still more efficient

With groups

Always has been

[limpid glacier]

is shadowbite an upgrade to sidewinder?

[green grail]

no, it's an aoe version of it

[limpid glacier]

so two different skills?

[faint flare]

Yes

[green grail]

sidewinder on 1 target, shadowbite on 2 and more

[faint flare]

Only the target needs to be dotted for shadowbites full aoe potency

[north viper]

anyone here can help with unable to patch? I've tried nearly everything on youtube/website nothing works

[high owl]

can anyone help me, for some reason im lv 30 in armorer but desynth is still greyed out

This quest unlocks it

[robust light]

what's citystate BGM?

[patent citrus]

which city? and is it day/night?

[vapid tulip]

Okay, so Arcanist/Summoner is kind of like Warlock from WoW, correct?

in concept

[faint flare]

It's a dot and pet job

[midnight slate]

How?

[faint flare]

Go cluster farm

With a group

You kill hundreds of mobs in seconds

[vapid tulip]

Are pets mandatory or does it give the option of something like Demonic Sacrifice to get a buff from your pet

[faint flare]

Mandatory

They're an extension of you

[high owl]

@faint flare i've already done that quest for another crafting class

[vapid tulip]

I don't mind the pet but I do like having the option of absorbing pet's power and being buffed from it

[zinc bramble]

Scholar can temp sac their pet. But heals.

[high owl]

its still grey out for me @faint flare

[faint flare]

What piece are you trying to desynth

[high owl]

armor that is deysnthable

[faint flare]

Show it

[patent citrus]

you need leatherworker lv 30

[faint flare]

That's not armourer

That's leatherworker

[high owl]

is amourer just for metal made gear then?

[faint flare]

It says what crafter does it at the bottom

[zinc bramble]

Tends to be metal but each piece can be different.

[faint flare]

With the job icon

[leaden ginkgo]

is the fae language a con lang or is it just some language that already exist

[high owl]

oh okay i see it

[fickle ferry]

So I just unlocked Bozja with my WHM 80, but I want to level up my GNB there, but when I switch to GNB which is 72, quest from Zlatan to get the weapon is red

[faint flare]

You need to be 80 for relic weapons

[fickle ferry]

I understand that, but I know that people usually level there, so what do I need to do, to get there with under 80 lvl jobM?

[faint flare]

Go into bojza

You can enter it at 71

[heavy wadi]

just talk to sjeros and go in

[fickle ferry]

oh, so you do not need the weapon to go there

[faint flare]

No

[fickle ferry]

I thought you needed the wep to even enter

ok, thanks

[faint flare]

It's completely ignorable

[leaden ginkgo]

How do I get a different Bozjan weapon? I picked the MCH weapon and now I can't just get another one (for WHM). how do I "restart" this whole thing? I can't abandon quest, it won't let me. thanks!

[faint flare]

Talk to zlatan on the job you want it, needs to be 80. You can't have the same quest active on different jobs

[leaden ginkgo]

Unfortunately both are red. :/

[faint flare]

Talk about weapon forging or something

[faint flare]

You already it active for another job

Need to complete or abandon it

hello kupo

I have a little problem, I'm trying to do the weaver's ishgard restoration crafting, but the hemp needed for the cords are nowhere to be found

I'm trying to put in a RAF from /r/ffxivraf, and I had three that were already used. When I tried the fourth, I get the error "This function is temporarily unavailable. Please wait a few minutes before trying again" How long do I have to wait before trying another recruitment code?

[kindred widget]

I thought you could buy your subscription on steam

[faint flare]

It's an option when selecting payment through mogstation

[glossy flare]

assuming your license is also steam

[sour dust]

Do minions do anything or are they just here to look cute?

[zinc bramble]

Some of them can perch on you!

[glossy flare]

there is a minigame involving them called Lord of Verminion

[faint flare]

Used in Lords of verminiob

[glossy flare]

but otherwise no, they just exist to be cute

[faint flare]

Otherwise just toys

[sour dust]

Is that a game at the Golden Saucer?

[faint flare]

Yes

Lower floor

[sour dust]

Thanks!

[fiery trellis]

Best UK world atm?

[glossy flare]

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

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

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

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

Notable worlds:

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

[glossy flare]

note the very last part

[faint flare]

Any eu

[fiery trellis]

Ty 🙂

[honest anvil]

does HoH have a mount drop?

[glossy flare]

the dodo iirc

[honest anvil]

just that one?

[glossy flare]

and the Juedi but that's not a drop per se

exchanged for empyrean reliquaries

[honest anvil]

ok thank you

[pallid bluff]

if you're playing potd, do you get job quest-only moves if you haven't done the job quest?

[flint bay]

absolutely yes

[glossy flare]

You get all of them, but if your save is as a class you do not get the skills of the respective job

[wispy flare]

is there a guide for these 3?

i remember taking them last night but i logged since then

[dull tree]

is there a discord for organizing DR runs for Aether dc?

or joining them

[warm snow]

Have you considered reading the quests?

[wispy flare]

nope

i just got on

[faint flare]

[warm snow]

Vinyl you can't just tell people to read, you need to get a spoon

[faint flare]

Fuck spoons, sporks are better

[wispy flare]

didnt even know that was pinned there

[ocean helm]

Is leveling tanks second easier/faster? Stuck between deciding glad or lancer to main first.

[wispy flare]

honestly helps more than read the quest

thanks vinyl

[faint flare]

You get basically instant que times for dungeons

[wispy flare]

[mighty epoch]

Hey, I'm on the quest "The Resistance Remembers" and it requires me to gather memories from Gyr Abania FATEs and memories from FATEs in the Far East region.

I was wondering if someone here @remote lintel specifically would like to join / help out to farm these memories

[ocean helm]

Is that the main way to lvl second jobs?

[faint flare]

Yes

Daily roulettes then dungeon spam

[flint sentinel]

So Anyone here pre-ordered endwalker on console. Reason being is it says it's only playable on PS5 and not PS4. Is it safe for me to preorder it on my PS4?

[faint flare]

Yes

It's both

[flint sentinel]

Is it just a bug on ps store

[faint flare]

It reads ps5 and ps4 version for me so

🤷‍♂️

It works

[warm snow]

Who knows, wouldn't put it past Sony to make the PS4 purchase harder to find

[flint sentinel]

Well I wasn't sure because of this

[faint flare]

[ps4 & ps5]

Kinda says right there

[sour dust]

I'm a level 50 paladin now. What gear should I be getting?

[faint flare]

Ironworks gear after you finished castrum and praeotirum

[sour dust]

Thanks!

[warm snow]

That'll be the best gear you can get til you're at the 54/55 quests in heavensward

[scarlet sandal]

What is the reason of why I simply just cannot gather this it's all greyed out

[warm snow]

What level are you? And can you even access ShB areas yet?

[scarlet sandal]

Lv 80 very post game

[warm snow]

And btn level?

[scarlet sandal]

80 but of course I'm in the cutscene at the moment but God damn it I think I get it now is it because I was on a 80 Carpenter when I was looking?

[warm snow]

Might be gray cuz it's not checked off in your gathering log

Could be that either

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[scarlet sandal]

I know you need to read like crafting books to get certain things unlocked for crafting does Gathering have the same stuff

[cunning loom]

they do but that isn't one

[warm snow]

Yeah but gathering book stuff is all level cap

[solid fog]

Um unlocked Fire III and it looks like a waste to use

[faint flare]

It's for swapping stances

Same with blizzard 3

[solid fog]

so it basically replaces

[faint flare]

It gives you full stack of that stance

[solid fog]

transpose?

[cunning loom]

(this is nice as well)

[faint flare]

In combat yes

You still need transpose when you can't hit things

[solid fog]

Yeah i see this is cool so

when my mana is full in astral i can just click fire III get all 3 stacks of umbral and will cost less mana

[faint flare]

3 stacks of Astral while in Umbral

Yes

And it's cast is quicker, allowing 1 weave

[solid fog]

Quicker ?

[faint flare]

Yes

When you have 3 stacks of an element, opposite element spells get castes faster

[scarlet sandal]

Isn't there a command for the Black Mage rotation

[solid fog]

Fire III has bigger cast

Wait what where does it say that

[faint flare]

It's cast time is halved with 3 stacks of ice

!trait Magick and Mend II

[zinc orbit]

**Magick and Mend II** : lvl 40 THM BLM

Increases base action damage and HP restoration by 30% and allows for the stacking of a third Astral Fire or Umbral Ice which reduces cast times for spells of the opposite element by half.

[solid fog]

Im not level 40

[faint flare]

When you get there

[solid fog]

got it

[grizzled palm]

Any clue the difference between the two levels ? 80 and 71

[warm snow]

9

[grizzled palm]

:/

[warm snow]

You can enter bozja zones from level 71+

But to unlock it and actually do any relic stuff you have to be level 80

[warm snow]

I also enjoy being a smartass

[stable grail]

does lightning effect weapon drop from Ramuh for lvl50?

[warm snow]

Nope

Has to be crafted

You'll only get the non glow version from ramuh

[grizzled palm]

just doesnt make sense to me, why have 71 at all?
like for example here:

[warm snow]

Because you can use bozja to level up lower level jobs.

And secondly arr beast tribes are just weird and awkward

[grizzled palm]

okay ty

[boreal storm]

Yeah that’s just how the ixal quests are

[untold path]

hey there, I want to try a free trial via steam, but for some reason when I try to login it says

This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired.

althought on mog station it says "free trial"

[faint flare]

Cause you're not steam free trial

[warm snow]

You had an existing account or you had an old trial account that expired

[boreal storm]

Does it say Free trial(steam) specifically

[faint flare]

It would say Free trial (steam)

[untold path]

and I already did free trial in november through steam

[regal locust]

how do i do a ping test to a ip address in cmd again?

[untold path]

could it change meanwhile?

[faint flare]

!faq checkping

[zinc orbit]

Q: How do i check my ping to the servers?

1. Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
2. Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
3. Press enter
   PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/

[regal locust]

ty

-n 20 doesn't do anything

gives an error

[faint flare]

You need the iPhone afterwards

[regal locust]

and yes i added the ip without brackets

[faint flare]

You didn't add the ping

[regal locust]

i did.

[warm snow]

You didn't ping

[faint flare]

"ping -n

[regal locust]

heh

ohhw

in front of -n i add ping?

oohhh like that aha okk ty

[faint flare]

No

It says it in the faq

[modest igloo]

ping -n 20

[regal locust]

i'm blind haha

[boreal storm]

You are opening the free trial launcher on steam correct

[regal locust]

ty

[regal locust]

awfull ping for fiberglass ngl >.>

[untold path]

20ms is awfull?

[regal locust]

i moved, i used to have 5-7 ping average

[untold path]

do you live right next to data center ?

well 13ms difference is something you will never notice

especially in mmo

[regal locust]

idk sometimes it feels like i can't pop tri-disaster fast enough after using egi assault 1

no matter how quick i tap it

[faint flare]

All skills have a 0.7s animation lock

Even assaults

[regal locust]

so i'm going to the next skill to quick?

[faint flare]

It will be qued regardless

[regal locust]

i ussually ruin, egi and then tri-disaster

[faint flare]

Your next action will be skill qued and done when available

[regal locust]

but sometimes i end up with 2 egi anyways and it fks my rotation, does that mean its the 0.7 animation lock and i move to tri disaster to fast?

[lilac thicket]

If i want to level up my gatherers quick I should go to the diadem from the firmament, right? But does it have to be "active" when they do the collectables from crafting part?

[warm snow]

Tf do you mean?

Active?

[leaden ginkgo]

uh i need help ,-,

[lilac thicket]

there's like a 17h timer now in the Firmament or something.. IDK 1st time in there

[warm snow]

Diadem is an instanced area, like a dungeon where you fly around gathering

[faint flare]

That's for fetes

[leaden ginkgo]

how to reach current 4 in said picture, Tempest

[warm snow]

That's for something else entirelt

[faint flare]

It's under Ondo cups

[warm snow]

Go down through ondo cups

[faint flare]

The on the way to the other place

[lilac thicket]

I'm in front of Aurvael on my lv 50 miner and he won't let me into the Diadem? am i doing something wrong?

[leaden ginkgo]

i tried but i ended up in dead end and cant find way to go down further

[compact pagoda]

Uhm, how come i can't use my rage of halone in dungeons? It's my third combo skill. I use my first, second and the third never lights up so I can't use it

[warm snow]

Keep looking

[warm snow]

Dungeons sync your level

Check if you're at a level where you even have rage of halone

Actions & Traits menu for unlock levels

[compact pagoda]

Oh since it's putting me in a level 18 dungeon and rage of halone is level 26, I can't use it? Do i understand rights?

[faint flare]

Yes

[warm snow]

Exactly

[faint flare]

Since you're no longer 26

[compact pagoda]

Oh okay, cool! That explains alot. Also, can you macro that 3-hit combo into one macro?

[faint flare]

No

[boreal storm]

!faq macrogcd

[zinc orbit]

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[warm snow]

DO NOT EVEN TRY

[cunning loom]

macros are delayed so it's a bad idea

[faint flare]

Not without killing your performance to the point of literally just uninstall the game

[leaden ginkgo]

aight i think i know your issue
the collectible in case of Ishgard restoration is just part of the recipe by default
now regarding gathering, you need to keep doing the quest that was part of Toward Firmament
if you havent get introduced then you havent unlock diadem

it isnt the one that need special thing like other collectible
you just craft the recipe

[compact pagoda]

Oh okay. I'll leave it well alone! I just asked since I heard about macros from a friend and that MMO's usually have the ability to do so and make things easier if you're starting to get alot of buttons

[faint flare]

Macros here are purposely shit

[boreal storm]

Macros are mostly for crafting here

[lilac thicket]

@leaden ginkgo oh OK, i got into the Firmament zone and i thought i could go to the Diadem immediately, but there's more quest to it... I see

[faint flare]

To reduce botting and automatiob

[leaden ginkgo]

by default it is collectible

[compact pagoda]

Ah.. I can understand that though. With amazing macros they'd have a field day i presume

[leaden ginkgo]

and as for the gathering, it is just raw level 4 materials at below 60s

then you approve it in the counter

then you can craft normally

[compact pagoda]

thanks again for all the help! Always so nice to ask here without being judged 🥰

[faint flare]

If macros weren't shit people would automate high end raids

And remove all skill

[boreal storm]

Summoner macros would be something

[leaden ginkgo]

you dont need to complete every quest in that line
it is very long blue quest for world building that split into 4 chain quests
you just need to be introduced to the diadem dude and by the end of that intro quest you should be able to use diadem

dont forget to equip your gatherer
for basic below level 60 item
Grade 4 stuff that is used (grade 1-3 is not in-game anymore so you instantly use the grade 4 recipe) require at least level 21 miner, fisher or botanist to gather

aight found the way down smh finally thanks @faint flare@warm snow

[lilac thicket]

Many thanks I just unlocked it

[sacred oracle]

what does this mean?

[leaden ginkgo]

how to check what is Earth time meaning in game? I thought it is say as Server time but it seem not?

[cunning loom]

ET = eorzea time

so for example ingame it's 8:23pm, in real life it's 1:49 EST

[sleek needle]

Party leader

[sacred oracle]

but 2 people have it

[cunning loom]

flag is member, flag with a box is leader

[sleek needle]

Ah right

[sacred oracle]

ohh

where my spout go then

:C

[cunning loom]

you passed 168hrs playtime and got to shb

[sacred oracle]

it's like

10h max

[faint flare]

It will show again when you're out the party. Only 1 icon can be visible

[sacred oracle]

maybe bugged

ohhh

[sleek needle]

Also disappears when you are registered to a duty, you'll see a book thing

[faint flare]

Ticket

[sleek needle]

Ya that made more sense

[astral sail]

Does my gil will get expire at some point when I entrust my gil to my retainer at xx days?

[leaden ginkgo]

my friend is gonna start playing so im gonna start over with him. but i wonder how do i become a mage?

[leaden ginkgo]

so earth time 5pm mean ET 5 pm too?

[modest igloo]

same way you became a dark night

blue quest "so you wanna be an x"

[leaden ginkgo]

does graphics gets better with expansions or whole game looks like arr?

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

but if i wanna be a black mage. i need to be lvl 50 in a mage Magical Ranged DPS?

[faint flare]

No

[boreal storm]

No

[faint flare]

Thaumaturge is black mage

[boreal storm]

Red mage just needs any lvl 50

[faint flare]

Turns into black mage at lv30

Like any class getting their job

[leaden ginkgo]

how would you guys rate the diffrent mages ?

[modest igloo]

all are great

[faint flare]

They're all fine

[boreal storm]

They playable

[tall wharf]

if my friend plays ffxiv through steam and i play it through retail can i play with him?

[faint flare]

Yes

[warm snow]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

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

[faint flare]

Everything is cross platform

[tall wharf]

alright thanks mr tails

[modest igloo]

how about this?

[warm snow]

Arr and hw still had to run on ps3

[open ember]

The graphics are honestly fine

[warm snow]

But muh 12k 288fps

[ocean helm]

How do I figure out if I want to main Tank or Dps first. Lvl dps+tank and run dungeons with both? :p

[warm snow]

Dps tends to be slower with dungeon queues as opposed to tank

[boreal storm]

Play the one you like more

[warm snow]

But it really doesn't matter since you can play all jobs on one character

There's even a special mount for doing so

[modest igloo]

why not level a tank and DPS while you do the story?

it took me a bit to find my main for savage raids

[ocean helm]

Yeah animation/playstyle wise I'm stuck between lancer and gladiator atm.

[warm snow]

Why not both

[ocean helm]

So Just lvl them evenly untill I get sick of one?

[warm snow]

It's very easy to balance 2 jobs while progressing msq

[modest igloo]

^

[warm snow]

3 or more gets a little more awkward but 2 should be easy

[ocean helm]

Wanted to get one to max lvl first so lvling second Jobs would be way easier( Flying mount,unlimited teleports) but if lvling 2 Jobs through the entire msq is very doable I might just do that ty.

[warm snow]

Do what you want I'm a red mage not a cop

[ocean helm]

xD k ty

[leaden ginkgo]

So I play on PS4 but made a second account on PC to try out the free trial to see if the game can run on my pc before I re-buy it, but I was wondering if it'd be even possible to log out of this account and back onto my "main account" after, since there doesn't seem to be a way to log out of the launcher... What do

[remote lintel]

wym theres no way to log out of the launcher

also theres a benchmark program so you dont need to download the game

[leaden ginkgo]

Like I can't see an option to swap which account I'm about to play on

[remote lintel]

on pc?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah

[remote lintel]

just enter the different login?

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh, right, so just restart the launcher yeah?

...im actually a dumbass

[remote lintel]

you open the launcher and delete the username in the username field and enter the new one

[leaden ginkgo]

For some reason I thought the launcher remembered your account info and auto-logged you in after the first time

[remote lintel]

nah

[faint flare]

That'd only ps4

[compact pagoda]

Is the quest "The holy ground" The quest to become a paladin? Since I'm a gladiator now

[faint flare]

For username

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah yes that's why I thought that, thank you

[boreal storm]

Is it lvl 30?

[faint flare]

If it rewards the soul crystal then yes

[compact pagoda]

It says 25 in the quest log.

[modest igloo]

!faq job

[leaden ginkgo]

Then it's not

[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.

[cloud charm]

hey everyone... ive been trying to make gil and i am not having any luck what so ever ive looked up guides but idk what half that stuff is my main level is 30

[faint flare]

Do more story

[remote lintel]

youre not going to be making much gil until you reach max lvl

[faint flare]

You ain't gonna make too much money early

[leaden ginkgo]

Why do you need to make gil at level 30?...

[cunning tide]

there is a raid i want to do but it says it will take more then 30mins to find a group. is there somewhere i can go to easily get a group

[faint flare]

Not that you need money

[remote lintel]

what raid specifically @cunning tide

[compact pagoda]

I'll focus on my class missions then! Appreciate it ^_^

[obsidian patio]

Your best bet for the early levels is gathering and even then it won’t be great money

[leaden ginkgo]

If its an extreme trial or a savage raid no one queues for those

[faint flare]

If it's bahamut or extremes then party finder and unsync it

[cloud charm]

because id like to have more than 2000 gil in my inventory

[cunning tide]

its the royal city of rabanastre

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh

[remote lintel]

just do msq

@cunning tide did you enable german and french languages in the duty finder settings

[leaden ginkgo]

That's a pretty old raid nowadays so queues outside of peak times will be pretty long

[cunning tide]

im trying to do the quest line so i can start relic weapon

[cloud charm]

great help....

[faint flare]

You don't have access to money makers low level

[remote lintel]

msq is the best way to gain money at low levels

[faint flare]

Story gives you alot of money

Like 3mil+ on its own

[cunning tide]

no i havent does it increase queue times by a lot

[leaden ginkgo]

It decreases queue times

[cunning tide]

ment that

[remote lintel]

@cunning tide yes youre in EU so its mandatory

[faint flare]

It widens the pool of people

So it makes it faster

[cunning tide]

ok

it still says more that 30mins after doing that 😦

[remote lintel]

are you a tank?

[cunning tide]

no dps

[faint flare]

The average times are rarely correct

[remote lintel]

just wait itll prob be shorter

[boreal storm]

Because outliers are bound to exist

[spiral sphinx]

I'm now at the start at Stormwind and my main is lvl 68 ...
should i get another Job to lvl 60 and finish all the quests with it or does it not matter anyways since lvl 60-70 is easy to lvl without quests?

[trail elk]

How is every bard in the game so good at playing music, I just tried and all I could do was play twinkle twinkle little stars and you got people playing anime openings left and right

[remote lintel]

yes to the first one

but not with quests

@trail elk midi players

[trail elk]

What’s midi

[faint flare]

Third party programme

[remote lintel]

a file of the music notes basically

and you can put it into a program that plays it for you

and hook it up to ff14

[trail elk]

Is that even allowed

[spiral sphinx]

@remote lintel "yes to the first one
but not with quests" was that adreest to me, if so i dont quite understand

[remote lintel]

i mean SE cant tell the difference between a midi player and people actually hooking up their instruments to the game

so they might as well just be amazing musicians

[boreal storm]

Get another job to 60 and do stormblood msq

[remote lintel]

@spiral sphinx you dont level alt jobs with sidequests, you level with dungeons

or you can pick up gunbreaker or dancer and automatically start at 60

[spiral sphinx]

ok do i only have to finish the quest with alt or do i have to accept and do it aswell with alt?

[remote lintel]

you can just turn it in with the alt

[left whale]

remember those tomestones of pageantry from way back? well i still have some, do i just toss em now?

[boreal storm]

Toss

[open ember]

Toss

[left whale]

alrighty

[spiral sphinx]

well i m main paladin and i LOVE it .. i tried samu and redmade but they dont suite me .. it hink about blackmage

[left whale]

blackmage is for folks who make the front page of hitboxporn every other day, otherwise, good luck

[remote lintel]

you can try gunbreaker or dancer

gunbreaker is a tank

[faint flare]

And starts at 60

[spiral sphinx]

yes but i thought i should lern another class and of all tanks only paladin looks cool :(

[left whale]

is dark knight not cool?

[boreal storm]

That’s your opinion

[remote lintel]

you can try out a bunch of other classes

[spiral sphinx]

yes but its hard to decide

[boreal storm]

Then don’t

[remote lintel]

play all of them

[spiral sphinx]

and i cant get a feeling with a class lvl 1

[remote lintel]

HW jobs start at 30 and shb jobs start at 60

[spiral sphinx]

maybe i try out dragoon

[boreal storm]

That starts at 1

[spare plinth]

For fashion week, do you have to physically put on the correct gear? Or making a glamour plate counts?

[remote lintel]

either one

[faint flare]

Either

[spiral sphinx]

the problem is ... i lovepaladin and i probably will play him at engame asell as main .. but it seems like a waste to do stormblood with a lvl 68 :(

[remote lintel]

you can just get a shb job and turn in the quest with it

[boreal storm]

You can just use your PLD again once you get to lvl 68 quests

[remote lintel]

just switch right before you turn in the quest

[spiral sphinx]

yes thats what i m thinking but wich is the question :D

[remote lintel]

flip a coin

[left whale]

put all the classes onto a dart board

[remote lintel]

i would try out dancer if you havent yet

[boreal storm]

Pick both, play around with em

[remote lintel]

i found it fun

[boreal storm]

Do the one that clicks with you more

[spiral sphinx]

ok ninja or blackmage it is .....
does blackmage do a lot of standing still?
can i move with najnja a lot?

[remote lintel]

those start at lvl 1

[faint flare]

Black mage gets alot of movement tools later on

But it does like standing still

Ninja is a melee and can move whenever it wants...except with TCJ

[spiral sphinx]

whis is more fun in raid / harder to play in raid?

[boreal storm]

Subjective

[remote lintel]

thats up to you

[spiral sphinx]

wellwellwell

[remote lintel]

you have to get good at using black mage's movement otherwise its hard

so black mage kinda has a higher skill ceiling

if you want that

[spiral sphinx]

blackmage it is

[modest igloo]

and you have to be good at aligning your burst with Trick Attack for nin

[spiral sphinx]

since i have meele allready (pld)

[worn flume]

all jobs need to align their burst with raid buffs, not just NIN

[spiral sphinx]

anyways thanks a lot, thaumatureege is the blackmage start?

[boreal storm]

Yes

[worn flume]

yeah

[spiral sphinx]

thhanks a lot :)

[modest igloo]

not as much as need needs to, they literally put all of their burst in TA, not every class can quite do that

[worn flume]

every job should be using their burst on 60s/120s cooldowns

[little swift]

Or 90s or 80s

[worn flume]

and that

[modest igloo]

or MCH's 20s lol

[little swift]

Depends on your job but yes you dump as much as you can

Mch isn't 20s burst though it just uses drill every 20s

Thats like saying every fell cleave is a burst window

[modest igloo]

yeah you still try, but NIN puts like every single attack in TA

[left yacht]

Does anyone know a way to have my security question answer changed? I have recently got my account date of birth changed by submitting eveidence such as my passsport but when I submitted a request for my q and a answer to be changed I was told my date of birth was incorrect.

Any advice?

[worn flume]

NIN does do that but that doesn't make it special

[modest igloo]

what other class puts literally EVERY ogcd in their buffs

red mage

fuck

[worn flume]

dancer

[modest igloo]

ok thats

[little swift]

Dark knight

Gunbreaker

Its literally not a nin specific thing

[modest igloo]

so NIN is braindead easy got it

[little swift]

Even Dragoon does it

That wasn't the implication but ok

[modest igloo]

well without their burst, since every other class has it, what makes NIN special?

that was the orginial question (wasn;t asked by me)

[little swift]

You're conflating burst window usage with uniqueness

Which is the issue here

[green grail]

define special

[little swift]

Thats not what determines job identity either

[green grail]

mch is spamming 123 then having a burst window too

[modest igloo]

DRG has jumps, with animation lock

[worn flume]

nin has mudras

[little swift]

Ninja has mudra and ease of mobility

And trick

[warm snow]

Trick attack is the only raid buff that's actually a boss debuff iirc

[green grail]

chain strat too

[little swift]

Chain strat

[warm snow]

Oh yeah chain strat

Also trick attack is a lot stronger than chain strat

[worn flume]

raiton is also one of the best ranged abilities of any melee afaik?

[little swift]

Arguably geirskogul/nastrond are ranged too

And aoe

[random girder]

theyre both 15s arent they?

oh stronger

oops

not longer

misread

[warm snow]

[sacred oracle]

how to finish a fate with highest rating possible

just kill as fast as possible? like how fast?

[faint flare]

Get gold ranking

It's based on contribution

Which is gained by doing damage really

And generating aggro

[sacred oracle]

oh i see

does this mean healer has no chance?

[faint flare]

They do

[boreal storm]

Probably Not if there’s BLUs around

[faint flare]

Healers are expected to do damage and healing counts as it generate aggro

[thin raft]

Hey y’all! Quick question about buying FFXIV. I was on free Edition through Square Enix site.

Am I able to take advantage of sales for the full game you see online through GoG and shit. OR do those sales only apply to the steam version??

Everyone said to start on Square Enix but I didn’t realize sales on the Mog Station were super rare. Am I stuck now with needing to always buy on Square Enix Mog Station website??

[boreal storm]

Green man is for the SE version

[faint flare]

Green Man gaming works as a non steam alternative

It's a trusted seller

Unlike shitty2a

[modest igloo]

mogstation goes on sale more often

[thin raft]

Ok so I can purchase from GoG and redeem on MogStation??

[modest igloo]

last steam sale was december and the current one, we've had 3 mogstation sales since decmeber

yep!

[thin raft]

Sweeeeet. Thanks so much !

[sacred oracle]

what sales?

[frosty crater]

Why does NG+ not give XP? Does anyone rly play NG+ just for the story? Why not just create an alt to experience the story again?

[modest igloo]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/39210/view/2516898401226584571

[faint flare]

No and yes

[sacred oracle]

oh i seee

[random girder]

because alts are tedious

[modest igloo]

having flying from the start, unsynch old content instead of waiting for ques, glam what you want

[random girder]

ng+ lets you just. blow through dungeons and trials

solo

[boreal storm]

Making an alt is a waste of time

[candid drift]

Do y'all know if preordering Endwalker will give me the early expansions right away?

[modest igloo]

it will not.

[frosty crater]

I wish NG+ gave XP that'd be dope af

[candid drift]

so you have to wait until endwalker release to get them?

[outer mural]

NG+ doesn't give exp because it would make people play the actual game less

[outer mural]

yes

[candid drift]

Rip, thanks

[frosty crater]

actual game being farming dungeons? lmao

[modest igloo]

you'll need to beat shadowbringers to unlock 90% of EW content

[faint flare]

Yes it'd how you level

[boreal storm]

“Why use leveling dungeons when I can just repeat the msq 17 times”

[outer mural]

yes

[warm snow]

Cuz I enjoy the story

[modest igloo]

"why is no one in this dunegon i need"

[outer mural]

i mean

you literally go "WHY PLAY FOR THE STORY??"

like yeah playing instances with people is the actual game

[rigid dust]

they want the MSQ to be something you can enjoy and experience, not something you grind through for XP

[outer mural]

mhm

it's either they populate instances and force people to engage, or you're skipping cutscenes for exp for every alt

one is clearly a more healthy option for the game

[warm snow]

The actual main story quests give waaaaaaaayyyy too much exp for ng+ to give exp

[rigid dust]

on a similar note, is there a dungeon or trial or something i can spam for tortured/sorrowful/harrowing memories~? or only FATEs and Bozja?

[faint flare]

Only fates or bojzan mobs

[modest igloo]

theres later steps that have dungeons

but for this step, only fates and bozjan stuff

[rigid dust]

yeah this is my fourth weapon 😂 i was just hoping it was something that got updated in the last patch~ guess its a good excuse to farm mettle tho!

[modest igloo]

yep!

[placid sandal]

hello! I'm not entirely sure how to go about this, but my FC is dead and I would like to sell the leftover house to someone. I'm on primal (lamia) and the house is plot 18, 23rd ward, lavender beds (small).

[modest igloo]

can;t be done

[placid sandal]

how can I get rid of the house then?

[modest igloo]

when you vacate a house theres an invisable timer

[faint flare]

You sell the Fc itself

[patent citrus]

is there any way to active hud layout 2 auto when I switched to controller mode?

or has to be manually?

would appreciate if there's a macro for this as well

[rigid comet]

Is there a pinned comment or URL I can check out for MNK macros?

[faint flare]

There is no macros

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[placid sandal]

okay, so I need to play for a while and it will demolish; how long is the timer for it?

[rigid comet]

What were the macros I saw in-game?

Something else?

[faint flare]

UI macros

Or crafting macros

[patent citrus]

45 days

[rigid comet]

Oooohhhh

Disregard - thank you

[placid sandal]

okay, thank you very much!

[faint flare]

Combat macros are unoptimal in all situations

[placid sandal]

could I also just delete the FC?

[patent citrus]

that one I'm not sure..

[placid sandal]

alright, thank you

[oblique glacier]

hi

what do i do with these

[faint flare]

Junk them

They're useless now

[oblique glacier]

oof

[flat ore]

just unlocked all the clan hunts and haven't done any before; can i solo most of these to grind the currency or do i need to find groups for these?

[faint flare]

All the bills from the board are made for solo

They're regular mobs

[candid drift]

If I bought the starter edition on the ffxiv website and then buy the steam shadowbringers expansion, do y'all know if they'll work together?

[faint flare]

No

[flat ore]

are the elites soloable too?

[faint flare]

You can't use steam codes on a non steam account

[candid drift]

okay dang, thanks

[faint flare]

"all bills from the board are solo"

[flat ore]

perfect thanks, just wanted to make sure

[candid drift]

What about this, if my main account I have been playing on is through the web download, and then I buy the same versions of everything on steam, Can I just play the same but login through steam and be on the sam char?

[faint flare]

Only if you are on trial

Trial.is the ONLY time you can swap to steam

Otherwise non steam codes and steam codes can't mix in any way

[candid drift]

So if I was free trial and upgraded to the web download through the website, I can't do anytthing with steam on that account?

[faint flare]

Nope

You're locked to not steam

[candid drift]

damn thanks

[faint flare]

On sale on green Man gaming if you wanted to use the sale

[candid drift]

oh damn

so if i buy it there i can use a code?

[faint flare]

Yes

They do non steam codes

[candid drift]

ojh thats great

[empty sluice]

can i level in eureka from 61-70 like i can with bozja?

[faint flare]

No

[empty sluice]

71-80

feels bad

[ivory pendant]

did we ever come to consensus on preferred server/xp buffs ? I logged onto my character on Famfrit which is preferred listed and only lvl 35, but no buff icon anywhere

[faint flare]

It's only for newly made characters

That were created on that world when it was preferred

[ivory pendant]

I see, so as long as you make it when it's labeled preferred - you'll keep the buff for all jobs below 70?

[rigid dust]

for 90 days

[faint flare]

For 90days minimum

[outer mural]

for up to 90 days or when the server stops being preferred, whichever lasts longer

[faint flare]

!faq whynojobquest

[zinc orbit]

Why am I Past lv50 Without the Abilities of My Job

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in , you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.

[compact pagoda]

Regarding becoming a paladin. Do I need to have done the MSQ to a certain point aswell?

[modest igloo]

!faq job

[faint flare]

Ye

[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.

[compact pagoda]

Oh right, Sylph management.

[modest igloo]

(ftang i sent you that not 30 mins ago lol)

[compact pagoda]

Yeah I recalled when I pressed enter. My bad.

[modest igloo]

all good!

at least you remember, some don't

[compact pagoda]

||Is scions of the seventh dawn far from it? ||

[random girder]

kinda? but its not that much

[modest igloo]

thats level 15?

[oak ice]

Yes and no

It's level 17

[compact pagoda]

I'm going to be such a high level before I become a paladin it seems, haha 😄

[oak ice]

It's in your best interest to just spam main story

[modest igloo]

hence why the msq is lvl 20 but the job starts at 30

[compact pagoda]

How do you aquire mounts by the way? Is it also tied to MSQ?

[faint flare]

Yes

[rustic flare]

Thank goodness that with the help of my FC. I now found another way to make gil. Which is something I had to unlock by expansion in order. That is hunting marks.

[faint flare]

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[oak ice]

Just a couple quests before sylph management you get the ability to unlock mounts

[modest igloo]

you begin to see why MSQ is king in FFXIV

[compact pagoda]

Yeah.. I

I'm amazed so much is tied to it

[modest igloo]

yep, even raiding is

need to beat the current expac and post story to unlock the current tier

[compact pagoda]

Oh I probably won't even try that, since I assume you need to find some sort of "guild" and then sort out a time during the week etc.

[modest igloo]

nope

theres normal raids

which you can do with ANYONE in the dc

[compact pagoda]

Oh.. Does it have matchmaking like the dungeons have?

[modest igloo]

yep!

each raid has story attached to it

[faint flare]

You can que for anything... Just people don't que for the higher end stuff and use party finder for it

[modest igloo]

acutally, you just met some of the characters for the shadowbringers raids in MSQ

[compact pagoda]

Oh okay, cool! I'll check it out in about.. some ages when I get there! 😄

[modest igloo]

you got time, and the raid stories are super fun. I would highly recommend!

plus the bosses you fight have some of the coolest shit in them

[compact pagoda]

Like items I can wear? Because right now I look like a clown.. : |

[modest igloo]

glam and cool mechanics

[compact pagoda]

@modest igloo Amazing 😄 Thanks for the help!!

[modest igloo]

hope you have fun and have a good day! get that cool Paladin skills

[sleek needle]

Early raids you just queue for btw

[lilac thicket]

So I'm level 55 miner now and I can't quite mine level 60 items from nodes in the Diadem. Do you guys suggest I go out and do some leves and hit 60 and then go back into diadem once I got a gear upgrade, or should I tough it out in there gathering level 10 mats until i hit 60 and then go out to upgrade gear?

[sleek needle]

Don't worry about party finder yet

[modest igloo]

i'd say leves

[robust relic]

is cross data center play coming to ff14?

[modest igloo]

yep, later this year

looks to be late summer?

[faint flare]

After September

[modest igloo]

ah

[robust relic]

😮 amazing i have some EU friends and didnt wanna make 2 characters

[faint flare]

When testing starts

We don't know the extent it will be

Other than its coming

[stray dawn]

whats this blue circle for?

[random girder]

sightseeing log

do /lookout or /sit

some also need /pray

[stray dawn]

oh

I missed a lot of them

[cunning loom]

it gives a tiny bit of exp, mainly for completionists

[faint flare]

That's normal unless you specifically go looking for them

[cunning loom]

they streamlined it significantly in the expansions

[stray dawn]

roger, not as bad as I thought then

[cunning loom]

arr vistas a) didn't show a blue orb b) needed specific weather conditions and time of day and c) need to be unlocked through doing prior ones

[faint flare]

If you're not looking for them specifically you'll randomly stumble on them now.and then

[leaden ginkgo]

Does this mount exist

Or is it just concept art

[patent citrus]

collector edition shadowbringer

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah damn

Nice to know

[patent citrus]

name is Grani

[leaden ginkgo]

Does any high level armourer be able to craft me 14 HQ lvl 68 shields. I have all the materials gathered (this is for leves). I will pay 2000 Gil 🙂
I am on Primal - Exodus

[left whale]

so a rando diadem question...where do lvl40 reagents even come from
my only options are to gather lvl10 or lvl60... lvl40s just dont exist as an option

*liek i would like to acquire me some lvl40 goods

[royal steeple]

how does one leave novice network

[leaden ginkgo]

Recipe for ishgard restoration for level 1-40 and 40-60 both use grade 4 materials
Which are obvious the non level 60 and 80 nodes

Which is the same thing you have been gathering by shooting laser to monsters and gathering manually
Usually recipe for 1-40 use X grade 4
Then in 40-60 you use Y grade 4 and Z grade 4

[royal steeple]

like the text channel or whatever

my friend's asking me

but i forgot lol

[faint flare]

/Nastatusoff

Or just press the leaf button by the chat log and leave

[royal steeple]

ah so just typing that will remove you from the novice network chat?

that's pretty neat

[left whale]

cant say i understood a word

[leaden ginkgo]

@left whale
Concrete example is like this
For 1-40
Carpenter need 5 grade 4 skybuilder switch (from diadem) and 1 yew log (from overworld gathering)

For 40-60
Carpenter need 5 Grade 4 mahogany , 5 grade 4 salt (both from diadem), 1 mythril (overworld gathering then craft it)

The 3 items here is in same level node (tho 2 is botanist 1 is miner) so you end up going between nodes

[left whale]

well thats wild, cuz ive yet to find that 1-40 drop if they all come from the same node

[leaden ginkgo]

Keep cycling

Go to large island

Cycle between nodes

Just focus on botanist then kill rock based enemy to get miner stuff

Or do opposite

With plant based enemies

[left whale]

the laser kind of takes awhile to get going..

[leaden ginkgo]

Or just focus on botanist, or focus on miner stuff
Tldr the way it works is you keep going

Well ye

Just wait

It will filled with each time you gather stuff

[boreal storm]

It takes 8 nodes to fill, I think

[leaden ginkgo]

For enemies
The brown golem usually drop ores
The dust stuff is from the blue golem
The wood like enemy drop wood stuff
The other kinds of plant enemy drop the other stuff like hempen

That is my cheat sheet to blast enemy

[boreal storm]

Sprites give crystals,clusters etc if you need some

[left whale]

well i kinda shoot the nearest enemy cuz frankly none of which is giving me lvl appropriate junk anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

Go to the larger island

More enemies

[left whale]

roger roger

[leaden ginkgo]

And once you know the pattern it is faster

As you know where enemy is located

[left whale]

one would really think they'd put the lower lvl stuff closer to the entrance

[ocean helm]

Will the msq introduce me to my first dungeon?

[modest igloo]

yes

[boreal storm]

Yeah

[left whale]

that is the large island right?

i mean its the largest ive seen so far

[ocean helm]

Alright thanks thought I was skipping stuff

[modest igloo]

the MSQ takes you thorugh every major area and city

[leaden ginkgo]

Ignoring the path

[boreal storm]

The quest is called “it’s probably pirates”

[leaden ginkgo]

I usually go south east

That island is near brown golem island

So i can go back and forth

I just stick there and try to clear the island then go back to the other side of island and repeat

Sticking to 1 big island with nearby enemy to blast is pretty fast

[left whale]

i feel like i am no closer to finding the right stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

For me

[leaden ginkgo]

How about this. Screenshot me a node

[left whale]

like that?

[leaden ginkgo]

The top one is the slot that is what you want? Dont have the item you need? Farm this and look for other nodes

Anything below that

Is not relevant

Until level 60+

This apply to all nodes

[left whale]

well no, not even the top one

[leaden ginkgo]

That is what you need to understand

[leaden ginkgo]

That top one is spawning that rn
Farm it
Then move
The node cycles yes

You dont wait in one node

You have entire island

[left whale]

but its not even the right lvl

[leaden ginkgo]

????

What

That level isnt item level

[boreal storm]

You can use it can’t you

[leaden ginkgo]

It is required level to harvest it

[left whale]

well, i could use it but my crafting classes are kinda beyond the lvl to where i care to use that one

[leaden ginkgo]

Just take it for now

Sell it later in market board

Keep going

You just cycle between nodes and keep on going
Plant enemy (wood or the leaf one) will be your guarenteed drop

So think of this as charging beam

[left whale]

https://i.imgur.com/NKwDhwq.png
here, find me this thing or something like it

[leaden ginkgo]

[left whale]

watever is used for lvl40 recipes

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes
I know
It is blue node
Just keep farming

Keep going

will i be able to play with my friend if he plays on the same server, but started in a different world?

Yeti. Trust me

[left whale]

its been like 24 nodes, i am losing faith

[leaden ginkgo]

And that is dropped by leaf based enemy so do try killing some

[leaden ginkgo]

You have your blue botanist node spawn right

That is first slot in blue node of botanist

[orchid lily]

where can i buy jewelry lvl 40-50 ? i can only find lvl <29 in gridania

[left whale]

i feel like you've just revealed rather key information that i am not aware of

[leaden ginkgo]

I think i know why

Do you equip

Sychte yet

[boreal storm]

You need a off hand

[heavy wadi]

Do you have a scythe,

[leaden ginkgo]

You need secondary tool

[left whale]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

will i be able to play with my friend if he plays on the same server, but started in a different world?

[boreal storm]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

If you are in large island and keep farming nodes
A blue one should spawn yeti

You cant keep having yellow one

thx

If you are in the big island

[left whale]

its just gettign real suspicious that i havent seen anything used for lvl40 crafting recipes
it doesnt even have to be the sesame specifically, but absolutely none of it is appearing

[leaden ginkgo]

Lemme see your equipment maybe that helps?

I have no idea how blue node doesnt spawn

[left whale]

?

[plucky totem]

hi guys - i just wanted to ask when can i start doing dungeons , i am level 15 conjurer and want to practice working with others

[leaden ginkgo]

tf then

[left whale]

its not the blue nodes

like i can see the blue nodes, but its only lvl10 or lvl60

:l

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeti

Sesame

Is in level 10 slot

[left whale]

WHAT

[leaden ginkgo]

[left whale]

why is it there

[leaden ginkgo]

I have been trying to tell you

Cause it is non level 60+ drop

[fallen topaz]

Soon, first dungeon is level 15 msq

[left whale]

its real counter intuitive >:l

[leaden ginkgo]

I told you grade 4s share the slot

,-,

For 1-59 crafter stuff

[plucky totem]

thanks qwertycoat - what is msq

[boreal storm]

The story

[fallen topaz]

main scenario quest

[leaden ginkgo]

I just tunnel mind my way to get any first slot in the node

When i was doing my crafter leveling

[plucky totem]

ahh thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

[boreal storm]

I just grabbed whatever I could in diadem because “hey I might use it eventually”

[leaden ginkgo]

Cause the way diadem works you just need to keep get the item anyway

The recipe for level 1-60 sometime is unique in that
The 3 grade 4s item doesnt overlap within a job

You can see the pattern ,-,

You kinda need them all

@left whale so yeah uh good luck and dont forget to shoot enemies with leaf ,-,
I forgot which one give the most one just try them first

[cunning tide]

is there an lfg discord for most things in the game

[left whale]

my problem now is my inventory is too full of 60 stuff to collect lvl40 stuff ._ .

[leaden ginkgo]

,-, you dont have retainer?
Just throw some stuff and store the rest in saddle

[leaden ginkgo]

#resources should list some
For specific contents or hunt, etc

[boreal storm]

Go out, approve them, use up items, repeat

[orchid lily]

where can i buy some lvl 40> jewelry ? i'm lvl 46 still using lvl26 suff

[left whale]

theres vendors in the major cities who sell that accessories if u really want em

[hard parrot]

Whichever region you're in, the closest vendor will generally have high-level accessories. That said, I'd recommend running a dungeon or two instead.

[left whale]

u can tell you're generally in the right area if thers just a row of vendors..

[orchid lily]

the only good jewelry vendor that i found was in gridania, and it doesn't update to my lvl

so i'm quite lost

[mild ermine]

What's the best tank at level 60? Specifically level 60.

[faint flare]

Don't worry about accessories too much under 50, the game doesn't really give you many until 50

[frosty sequoia]

Hi guys, I would like to play the game again but feel that I might be lost with my old character (story, gameplay wise, etc.)

My question is, is there things that will be account wide and available to a new character, if I decide to create one ? (such as mounts, etc.) Or is it a start from scratch ?

[faint flare]

Only account wide mounts you brought on mogstation..
And collector/preorder stuff

You won't be able to use mounts until you get the chocobo

[left whale]

very little things are account wide in this game, and if you're worried
there is new game+ so u can play all that old shit again on your old character

(but get none of the rewards)

[frosty sequoia]

mmh, interesting, I'll try to find the right approach, thanks guys for the quick answer

[orchid lily]

ty, i was finding weird that none of the quests gave me jewelry

[late coyote]

i wanted the 60k for the week and id the 80 points thing with the boots and pants but still i got like a 68? https://external-preview.redd.it/0wiLMjrgMV9DHruBv7dl0RNiQQbzKtxStJi5MRUBiZg.png?auto=webp&s=3cae26be88a036608fb08a1b0104e8b75f8db194

[faint flare]

Did you have something in every slot

[orchid lily]

yes

[faint flare]

Not you

[boreal storm]

Talking about FR guy

[orchid lily]

[late coyote]

[heavy wadi]

[late coyote]

[left whale]

[late coyote]

oh...

[left whale]

yeah here you go buddy

[winged fossil]

Can you buy exarchic from MB when once you've hit 80? How much (roughly) does a full left and right and weapon set cost?

[left whale]

we're on week 179 now

[late coyote]

ahh its the first one i saw on reddit but i did open it on wedensaday so the fashion thingy couldnt be judged

[boreal storm]

Buy the pants with your 10k that’s exactly what I meant...yeah

[cursive terrace]

do you have to fight lyon in castrum lacus litore to get his field record or can anyone get it?
