hw?
yes
ye that was my assumption too
!faq poetics
for things to spend them on
As long as you're not 0 hp you don't need healing
could someone pls link or dm me the locations of where to get get the diffrent atma stones. i looked it up and found multiple lists saying diffrent things
If you just want a quick/easy way to spend them, buy the specified unidentifiable items to exchange for topsoils to sell on the marketboard
drk disagrees
so is the scholar the weak heal ? and but the astrologian
is the one that did several times
all healers are strong healers
Until which step of the Eureka relic do I have to progress so I can get the elemental coat +2
i died a few times
Does anyone know how to tweak the floating combat text? I dont want to see dmg received
the other tank seems to be getting more than i and also i was getting hit by the gaint for than tank was
Can only turn it off completely... And yoy want to see your damage received
do story dungeons give out more exp when leveling than post-expansion dungeons?
Its so distracting and there are like 2 hp bars
It tells you what you took damage from
Knowing that means you know what you're dying to and how to avoid it next time
It's important to know
I just want to clean up some of my screen when in battle
You can move it around and shrink it with hud editor
Is that in game or
Yes
So I see HUD Layout, then 1,2,3,4 and basic/sys/hotbars/duty
Use the drop down menu
I mean that just lets me choose hotbar numbers

Attempted to purchase from GMG Endwalker w/Paypal balance, and got the following message:
"Your order could not be processed. Please contact Customer Services for assistance."
Opened a ticket, hope they can get back to me.
Could anyone help me with reputation from the beast tribes? I'm currently capped, how could I get promoted so I don't waste reputation?
I don’t see the option to use a Friend Recruitment Code, despite not using a subscription yet. Shouldn’t it be there before my first purchase?
Do the new blue quest that popped up
Yes, end game dungeons weren’t designed for you to level since you would already be max level in them.
It becomes available after buying the Base game
To use a referral code
Can you play as one of the cat whales in eulmore?
I'm doing the pixies one, do I have to go inside the dreamkeep?
Do I keep doing “The great hunt” to get the rathlos scale for the mount
Should be outside
the cat what
No, you need to do the extreme version

thicc
yes just lets not call them that 
Wouldn’t that activate my subscription service though? Right now I have Complete Edition ready to be redeemed but for use later, but I’d imagine that’d make me unqualified to use it, according to guides on it?
I couldn't see it because I wasn't using the class I started that quest with, ty! :3
hi brand new to the game coming from WoW, how does tanking in this game compare to wow? is it harder/easier, are there systems like mythic+ where you need to plan routes etc?
You use a referral code after buying the game and before paying for the first month sub
that is a shame
I don't know WoW but you hit stuff to death
Tanking is mostly brain dead and dungeons are straight lines
It's about Cooldown management and doing damage on the boss
Similar experiences. More buttons here. Make sure you use your tank stance. Afaik there are no timed dungeons.
All instanced are timed
Using the Tank Stance to massively multiply your Aggro (called Enmity here) accumulation and doing a few hits, either with AoE or singular target skills
from what I read I can change class/jobs on my character at any time right? so if tank is getting a little boring then I could easily switch to a dps job?
90minutes
Yep
Yes
awesome
After you unlock them
no mythic+. tanking dungeons in ff feels like pre legion (pull everything, pop cds and aoe). It is a damage meta, so AM is not really an active thing you think about, it's baked into your rotation. Positionals far more important than WoW, so it feels a little more oldschool in that respect
if you want a tank with a lot of buttons/more dps like rotation try gunbreaker
Never even realized. The limit is so high. With mythic plus you are racing the clock.
You physically can’t use the class weapon until you do the unlock quest
Unless you’re in the middle of a instance that established your role like a dungeon or something. But yeah you can even hotkey entire loadouts and swap on the fly everywhere else, field, town etc
the only time youll ever see the timer matter is if youre progging hard content for more than the timer
which is most of the time if youre doing savage
so you just requeue
where is the repair mender in foundation plz ?
in the forgotten knight
Does anyone know when the "make it rain" event could start
thx
Also classes have a special scaling so if you have a high level class and you wanna try a new class, exp gain is much higher to get you up to speed
amazing cheers all, will start as paladin 👌
its in pins
PLD is awesome.
Thanks
Enjoy man. That was my first class as well 🙂
Reminder that Gladiator is the initial class btw
when should i worry about making HQ gear for crafting/gathering
Also I'm kind of looking for a list of all the weekly things. I only just discovered khloe and ell thou delivery quests
South east of aetheryte
What are the letters next to enemy mobs sometimes. If they are focused sometimes Ill see an E or U etc
If you Attune yourself to all Aetherite Crystals in a town you also unlock it (as well as other gate exits) in your Aethernet destination list
its just a tagging system that the game has to differentiate mobs from each other. no one really uses it these days
every mob that you get aggro on will have a letter on it
You can get by just fine on NQ gear for both until the upper 40s, I'd say. 50+ you'll almost certainly need HQ gear to do anything.
thank you
@twilit arch okay so it just sounds like an old tagging system maybe
ye
I've one more question btw: Can people on different servers interplay? Because I cannot join the midgardsormr server. It says to be full. won't even allow me to create a character there. But that's where my friend is

Only within the same data centers but yes.
You can visit Midgardsormr
Midgardsormr can play with Jenova for instance but not, say, Ultros.
yeah, click aetheryte plaza on the main cities and choose "visit another world server"
yeah
Just gotta manage with congestion sometimes but you won’t physically be barred
with midgardsormr? yeah they are in the same DC
Oh ok it's fine then thanks
Do I have to buy shadowbringers to play stormblood or can I just get it by itself (on ps4)
Yes
Buy
yes, the story is linear
Stormblood is no longer a standalone expansion
You have to buy ShB and it comes bundled with SB
is there any macro for this setting?
Along with the classes associated with them
want to switch it with a single hotbar button
without having to go to char config everytime
Hello, does it matter which GC a FC is allied to? What are the pros/cons of it having a different GC then me.
it just changes which GC you go to for FC stuff
like buying FC actions, changing the FC crest, and some specific furniture items you can buy with FC credits
(Which are also the same at all 3 GCs)
Having your FC’s standing with your GC up also grants FC members slightly reduced teleport costs to aetherytes in that GC’s region
But it’s nothing major
What kind of quest is like a blue/purple Exclamation with a plus/health sign in it as well
:o?
Thanks for the fast answers 🙂
A quest that unlocks a skill/content of some kind
any reason to rush flight unlock when im done with a zone?
other than if i plan on gathering, of course
unlocks content or game features
So I should def do it?
for the most part yes
Yeah you’ll probably regret it if you don’t
Main exceptions are "Leves of x" if you don't level up a non-combat class, and "So you want to be a x" for classes you don't want to unlock
Later quests and side stories will require fight in zones, as well doing stuff like hunts and treasure maps which you will probably have reason to do at some point.
ohhh right you go back into older zones for quests sometimes!
i totally forgot about that
Is summoner harder than black mage?
that is a good reason to rush it
The best time to unlock flight is simultaneously with MSQ since most aether currents are near the path MSQ takes you on
So it’s most convenient to do it then
easier for me, better try it
If you save it for later it becomes a chore
harder to pick up easier to master
Summoner has a lot of hidden "Jank" to it when you start to optimize it
blm movement is harder than summoner, summoner has instant casts way more than any caster
but also a lot of jank
stuff like ghosting pet actions, big summons not attacking when you move too much, and other small stuff
Okok
blm movement is not hard hard at 80 at all btw
It’s not really
But SMN is the pretty clear leader when it comes to mobility among casters
Levio Sa (5.4 rank 2 global, rank 1 NA) gives us the hottest BLM take of the year.

it isnt hard once you figure it out, its just a bit of brain wrinkling to optimize per fight
it’s still a caster so there’s still the standing still element to it but you have a lot of insta cast tools; up to you to optimise them ..
Though BLM does get teleports
smn is just "dont die lmao"
though play smn … cooler animation imo
Two or three months taking MSQ at a steady pace
It’s not about the levels, it’s about MSQ completion
Is anyone is aether who can craft HQ lvl70-80 mats for wvr? will pay
What is msq
Main story quests
So i just accepted hunts in ishgard, is there any way to review my hunts while in the field?
The story
What is the story skip?
Key item
You got a full mostly single-player story
a mistake
Ok see it, thanks
!faq skips
Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.
Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME> Journey This item increases a given job to level 70. It will not skip your story progress to level 70. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 70 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl400 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.
DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS
Pay money. You’ll also have to buy a level skip in addition
Not recommended to new players generally unless you really really only care about endgame raids
Sorry just another question, can I hunt with one job and turn it in with another?
you get the experience on the job you kill the monsters with
Oh ok
There is no “turn in” with hunts
When the monster is killed the rewards are immediate, and when all the hunt bill objectives are killed the key item just vanishes
Gotcha thanks
what's the best way to farm poetic tomestones?
!faq poetics
thanks
So i managed to enter my steam code onto the mog station website. However I get an error should i refresh the page?
Is it confirmed that reaper job will use maiming gearsets?
yes
Nice thanks
hey do you need labrynth of the ancients for any other content later on?
yes you need to do all 3 arr alliance raids
you cannot do msq unless you do them all
Yes you need to complete the full quest chain
why do I need to do them?
Its story relevant
Cause it's important for Shadowbringers
but do you need it for shadowbringers?
Yes
It wasn’t mandatory for a bit, but then certain plot details were a thing
yeah, but you need to complete the 3 alliance raids, not just 1
the Labyrinth is just one of them

should I buy gear using Allagan Tomestones of Poetics?
currently i have 2k max
so i want to use some of it
or should i buy something else?
!faq poetics
many choices
If you haven’t started on Anima yet, that’s an option
Anima?
is there any sense in upgrading my relic weapon or is it more for glamour at this point?
Katniss what level are you
Heavensward relic
i mean, poetics can buy better ilvl far easier
64
Are you in HW, post-HW or SB?
You're not even at HW 
xD
What gear do you have on 
You do have some ironworks yes
All relic weapons except the level 80 relics are glamour only at this point. They're all big time sinks and they're all very very easily replaced at higher levels.
Day star
does unlocking RDM require beating base ARR?
Daystar set
i'm guessing not
No
Go buy Ironworks
Only level 50 and own the expansion
Just requires you to hit 50
And own Stormblood
ahhh okay
Daystar set is the last thing I can get in MSQ?
And ironworks will carry you until lvl 55 msq
thank you
Daystar is i110 Ironworks is i130
okayyy
so, do msq to get daystar while farming roulettes for ironworks to get back to msq
alright
You don't get the i110 Daystar gear until towards the end of the post-ARR MSQ
waiting for an odd 10 mins, the FATE i want hasn't popped https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Heroes_of_the_2nd
seems no trigger required from the guide, am I missing something?
It's for this book https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Book_of_Skyfire_II
just keep waiting?
i'm in the beginning of post-ARR
Kill other FATEs to make it spawn faster
ok make sense, ty ty
There’s a cap on how many FATEs can be in a zone at once
all the quests requiring a full party take forever to get said party through duty finder
So clearing the queue can help
This is a stupid question but do I need to get the ARR Relics to get the Shadowbringers Relics?
nope
Question for the smart people in here: if I take a player who hasn't done a specific trial/dungeon for the first time yet (The Striking Tree (Hard)), and we do it Unsynced, do they lose out on the first-time bonus for doing that trial/dungeon? Or will it apply when they do it synced for the first time
they get the first time
They still get bonus
first time bonus is still earned for unsync
oh thats radical, thanks
Q: Do you guys find desynth or GC seals more profitable?
Really? @patent citrus for some reason I thought you had to rank up all the way to this new stage... thank you for the info!!
would unsynced count for quest completion?
yes
should be, unless the journal stated otherwise
i feel like party finder would prove faster than duty queue with 2-hour long wait for a single trial
you need to enable all DF language
since you are in EU DC
ohhh
2 hours for a trial that in a roulette is a bit odd
hey everyone, I decided to pick up ff14, I'm at char creation screen and wondering does it matter what class I start out with if I plan to play SAM? I can get the gear easily even if I play a spellcaster before that level?

i did just that
SAM only requires you reach Lv 50 with a DoM/DoW job and own Stormblood
Doesn’t matter at all
all are good
All of them
yeah I got shadowbringers as well
!faq meta
I see
if you want to be the poster job then you can do warrior/marauder for arr
dragoon for hw
monk/samurai for sb
and then dark knight for shb
what I mean like.. maybe certain class has self heals/selfs shields that make it easy to play early
and less stop for healing
Did somebody say
Conjurer?
Also every job has a form of self-healing or shielding
oh I see
Never makes a very significant difference to the solo questing experience
DPS just have them on cooldowns
Solo stuff is very easy
I played Conjurer, then upgrade it to White mage to lv 75, then I swap to SAM lv 50 and its now lv 77
Whats the difference between the starter edition and complete edition? If so which one should i use for the steam version
I just read about SAM description and it said "no utility so hard to stay alive alone" so I thought classes have huge difference in self sustain early
but if it doesn't matter.. all good
Complete Edition has Stormblood and Shadowbringers
Solo quest instance fights have buffs that apply to make classes balance out
It has no utility because it has absolutely dumb levels of damage
!action third eye
so any real difference is endgame raids
Like healers and tanks get big damage up, there’s a hefty regen
and then a counter
It does have that though
yes
and even then everything is equally good
That comment makes no sense
Wait Third Eye is on a 15 second cooldown?
cool
What the fuck
i use it on every piece of unavoidable damage
Why have I not used it more
Sam has the same self sustain as the other melee, and utility usually doesn’t mean anything to do with suitability
Oh I see why I haven't
Cause three second duration
😮
@manic tide if you click here only one mission shows on map
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
So cant you travel to like 3 different stones for free? WHen I hit the travel button in bottom right it brings up a map and it all cost
will the amaro mount need sage and reaper lv 80 come EW?
Favorite locations reduce the cost
Not remove it
You can set a free home point to return to every 15 mins, three half-price destinations, and one free destination if you register a 2fa password
Teleport costs should be a non-issue though
now that you guys/gals answered that class doesnt matter start-wise.. even harder to choose 😄
Every 15
now explore yourself
@round dune
Oh ye
so I have heard its easy to multiclass in this game, can I also get the 1-10 skills of any starter class easily?
I paid for the standard edition yet I cannot play it on steam. What gives?
to test the feeeeels
you just unlock the job and level it independently
theres no requirements
but if it's the starter job
yes
just switch and find a weapons somewhere?
starter jobs are like any other
or whatever class specific thing
@strong saddle I think you have to get the code from steam and apply it on the mog station
you go unlock them at their guilds
It's not multiclass in the sense you're thinking
and switch to the weapon yes
Okay ty
It used to be but they nuked that system a while back
what's the diff now?
Multiclass in XIV's case refers to the game's unique job system
thanks btw @random girder
@strong saddle right click ff14 on steam library > manage > CD keys
Where you just unlock the class/job, switch weapons and bam new class
prob google, they're all in different places to pick their quest up
btw I have, starter edition + shadowbringers, that's the main content atm right?

❤️
Yes
Each job is separate
But you can switch freely between them
They don’t have crossover skills
will having low level in each while progressing main story quest have me grind mobs somewhere to catchup once I find something I like?
from 1-15 basically yeah
you find mobs to kill in hunting log
is it just leveling roulette for subsequent jobs?
Unless you count hunting log which is a one-time thing per class to zoom to level 15 by killing a small amount of certain specified types of mobs
Mob grinding is quite literally the worst source of experience past the very early levels
!faq altlvlguide
I find it worthless past Lv 10
Basically roulettes daily, then highest level dungeon or palace of the Dead
roulettes are so good OuO
idk from class design I like samurai and dragoon, so maybe I'll try leveling with lancer
😮
If you level with Monk it shares gear with Samurai
hmm
is gear that big of a deal at level 50?
like is it worth playing monk if I don't intend to ever play it again
just for gear sharing
how do you get the moogle mask?
Oh you're planning to outright main SAM once you hit 50?
if you mean the tiny painted one that's from the mogstation
yeah if It is as good as I expect it to be
Just play whatever jobs you want, you can just keep the 50 poetics gear in your armory chests if you need them in the future
SAM priority then if it doesn't stick, dragoon/ninja
Gear doesn't really distinguish between the DPS jobs until you hit 50
And then it does
sam is rather fun once you get the hang of it
tytvm
last question before starting, any EU server preference? can I expect all of them not to be dead?
there's crossplay within datacenter anyway
and from what i've heard, visiting between datacenters is coming, too
There's no dead servers
what's visiting?
is there not an option on eorzea collection to not show items from mostation/.
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
fucking obnoxious. i dont waant to spend money every time i see something i like
jesus christ
in mog shop? xD
?
I'm assuming thats where you're spending money to buy somehting you want
That's not what they're asking
I see, forgive my misunderstanding 
Hey! Which class at the beginning do I have to choose to become a Rogue/Ninja later on in the game?
or does it not matter
None of them
doesnt matter
Though Marauder and Arcanist are in the same starter city
Rogue unlocks when you hit level 10 with any class, but you'll need to go to Limsa Lominsa in order to pick it up
if i choose a quest reward out of several options, is it possible to ever get any of those other options again on the same char?
The other options are crafted gear or vendored gear
Or old tome gear for post patch stuff
That's the 240 poetic gear
Oh it's old poetics gear
from the NPCs in the big building in Idyllshire
i just want it for glam
Augmented Shire is i270
Oh
So my home point aetheryte is set but it still costs me 150 to teleport there?
Yeah it's the same place you got Shire gear
tyvm rip didnt even notice
Return is free, teleport isn’t
home point isnt free, its the free points that are, home point is free to return to
Use the return action
Ah crap i dont have that on a hotbar anymore
is the option to get married in stormblood/
Yeah the return action, you can either slot it in from your general abilities or your travel menu
Thanks
you should note that return has a 15 min cooldown
eternal bonding is in the base game, you just can't be a trial player
?!!?!?!WSAT
It's a paid thing unless you do the free plan
the link shows the rewards which plan has
the outfits from the gold/platinum plan are dyeable
does free have the eternal passion gear
ty
Does anyone know how to alter floating combat text size
like the dmg numbers?
Yes and the words etc
Thanks
Is there a way to track where "the hunt" marks are on the minimap ?

fair enough, i'd hoped it would at least give you a rough area in the zone..
It does
Well depends
For regular mob hunts it tells you what the map region is in the hunt bill
Elite marks (b ranks) can spawn in heaps of spots in the zone so you have to search for it.
When you’re nearby you get a message “you detect your mark to the north/northeast/east (etc.)”
Yup, it's why it's called "The Hunt". You have to hunt them down. 🙂
is there a way to turn off the "not ready yet" system messages without a macro
Thanks for the help guys, i've just unlocked the system
is there a content/lvling guide I'm lvl 20 lancer and lost AF
Untick those two error options
Uwu
ik for anima weapons where you need to do fates, they allow you to trade in a zenith one if u already did it. but can i do that for the upgraded zenith weapon if i already did the anima one?
oh zeta. damn thats rough
The Zeta trade-in is the only time they made any kind of link between two relic weapons.
The fates are much easier than making a zeta, its like 6 fates now
when i did it for the anima one it was pretty easy with some people helping out. hopefully its populated still
People are farming HW fates for the ShB Relic as well so it should be decently populated, although 6 fates solo isnt that bad either.
ok nice. i just want the sasuke blades zeta for glam haha
if I got my drachen armor on my armory chest, is there any point on keeping the wyrm armor?
It's mostly for glamour, so just store it in your glamour dresser if you still want them for glamour
Yes it’s much better
stat wise i got the tomestone gear
Just saw a player hovering in Limsa. Is that a spell or piece of gear?
Omega emote
That looks awesome
if anyone wants to be friends and play ff14 just dm me if interested
What world and server are you on?
adamontoise
Corners, so ranged dps can move to the outer tiles
when i login to ff14 it says its adding heavensward and a realm reborn, which means its replacing my free trial right? i dont want my free trial to be gone
hey guys i have a question
As long as you don't buy the game and use the code your free trial won't be gone
so this wont mean my free trial is gone?
It should not
ah ok thanks for the help
i get this when i try to start the red mage quest any ideas?
If there's a specific trigger for the crash, it could be corrupted or damaged files.
Dang
hey im pretty sure this question is asked alot, but can I dm someone some questions? Im trying to get into the game and am extremely new and just wanna know a few things :) If an experienced player can lemme dm them that would be great
Yeah I talk to the character and then I crash and gives me that message
!faq newplayertips
You can dm me 
There's also this guide that may answer some questiong
Just ask here, you're neither the first nor last person to have multiple questions
ty
Also does anyone know if eating food in bozja and zadnor affects stats
would know if there is a fix for it?
I was most concerned if im gonna be super confused story wise since ive only played like 2 final fantasy games
The story is independent
story is separate from other ff titles; nw
You don't need to play the other games to understand the story
No FF has any connection to another unless it's a direct sequel
Adamantoise is Aether.
There's some minor references to other FF titles though
there are lots of easter eggs for people who have played other ff entries but none is needed to understand XIV’s
but everything is explained plot wise
Reinstalling would certainly help, but I don't know what else.
Hey guys why am i recieving 80% exp instead of 100 ?
You mean like "you receive 1233(+80%) xp"?
yes
that's bonus xp
Yes, that's actually a 1.8x modifier
but i was recieving 130 before and i have the earing from the endwalker
er, not bonus, but upscaling to your level, i think
Is it an alt job that reached lv70?
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

Did you do Holminster?
Yeah that's why I hate levelling before 70
Lv70 dungeons give garbage xp
But I usually farm bozja stuff like 2-3 hour everyday
and I get insane gil and xp so if I reach lvl 70 it's prettt much 80 to me lol
Not really
Bozja is just fate farming in a group, sprinkled with hard fates called CEs
The critical engagements can be tho
But it's also kinda broken, there's a lot of collectibles called "lost actions" you can use
Which give you insane skills and stat boosts
(like logos actions if you ever did Eureka)
so the best way to level from 70 to 80 is bozja ?
Atm yes
Bozja or leveling dungeons, depending on queue and how much you want to use trusts
And you can also multitask on other stuff during that levelling like farming for your relic weapons
And remember your roulettes
And earning gil
But yes roulettes are always the best source of exp
Always do dailies first before anything
If you need the exp
Easier than Pixie Beast tribe quests, daily roulette Praetorium and Trusts?😮
Pixies take no time, I'd do them daily, then Bozja or dungeons
Well idk what your guyses definition of hard is
Wonderful tails also give you half a rank Exp per week
Like it's farming fates with broken abilities
If that's hard then maybe?
it depends on how hard you think the fates are
when you say dungeon, should i choose the highest level dungeon avaiable to me or the leveling roulette dungeon ?
But it's not a savage raid lmao
Leveling roulette
Leveling roulette only gives bonus you exp once a day though right?
Yeah
So I'm a bit confused on how leveling other classes work, how would I level up let's say a rogue that starts at level 1 if my marauder just got level 11 sense all the starting quests would have been completed already, same goes for the other classes later on in the game since you can switch at any time, is it just grinding fates and dungeons?
Then it's better to do the lvl. 69 or lvl. 59 dungeons I think
From what I heard the level 60 and 70 levecapped dungeons don't give a lot of exp
im a new player, i finished shadowbringers and am now leveling my dark knight thats why im confused
And it was better to go 1 level below those
Yeah, 60/70 dungeons don’t give a lot of exp
Pretty much, you also gotta do the job quests for the class you switch to
You also get an exp buff if you get a class to level 80 first then level an alt job I think
The class quests?
yeah
yes
@runic parrot The main method of leveling jobs when MSQ experience isn't available is running dungeons, yes, but in your example where the class/job is level 1 and isn't high enough to run a dungeon, you would do the Hunting Log/FATE's/Combat Leve's.
Also if you have a friend, powerlevelling is very powerful for like 1-15
I cannot stand the fate grind from 1-15 lmao
I assume it's the same for crafting classes, or is there another method for that?
Well, the Hunting Log itself will take you almost all of the way to 15
Maybe? I still think it's faster to ask a friend to powerlevel you in the lochs for like 20 mins
I'm never the most efficient with hunting logs tho :p
For crafting, at least post level 20? you can do Ishgard Restoration for massive EXP.
That's assuming you have a job that's reached Heavensward
Alright, that clears up a lot then, ty :)

does quick synthesis give reduced exp
to unlock the astrologist is it just doing the main story quests? i tried tracking what one does it and the prereqs but it just keeps going
im 46 as a white mage right now (first character)
yes, get to heavensward
first quest in hw brings you to where you unlock the jobs there
neat, what level is heavensword around?
50, but there is a long line of 50 quests between the end of arr and start of hw
the quests released during the downtime between expansions
ah
you need to do all the msq for 2.0 and all 80 post 2.0 msq
yes
also crystal tower quests and hard primals
whats the fastest way to farm levinstrike aethersand?
ty
@lusty spear just use food to increase GP and perception, harvest 1000% Levin Mint and Thunder Rock repetitively, follow the timed nodes and use cordials as necessary
It’s still possible to clear Bahamut 1-13 with friends after level sync if you want right?
for sure
you mean after stat squish @ripe hound ?
I was thinking about now
Like grab 7 friends and suffer savage
i mean its definitly possible
Yeah
esp with blue mage
why not do min ilvl for a few and grab a mount too?
oh wait are you doin this for new friends right?
No, just wondering
ah
No reason lol
yeah old content is more apporachable after ilvl cap
Nice
What's the best way to do old savage content? Sitting in a PF right now, but judging by the line of 0's down the raids, this doesn't feel productive.
If you want the "as real as possible" experience, you probably need to organize via a discord
There's a few dedicated to doing old content on sync, none of which I know unfortunately
If you're just wanting rewards, PF labeled "unsync for rewards"
Is there any way to preview hairstyles before I buy them from a vendor?
thx
Nah, I'm not trying to get a 'real' experience. Just trying to clear it to unlock other stuff, lmao.
But I haven't cleared the fight yet, so I can't advertise it as loot.
Ask your FC to help you out?
Man I want to play scholar because no one plays it, but it’s hard and that’s why no one plays it. 🤣
I think I just need more fight knowledge though. :/
does any one know why i can not do my Honor Lost quest for Paladin ??? im lvl 41 and its says Paladin / gladiator under Classes/jobs
can i just afk inside zadnor to wait for dalriada? (or its considered as being an a hole)
Does lvl30 Jobs (White Mage, for example) also require portions of the MSQ be done? I have nothing left for Conjurer and nothing leading to White Mage.

what difference does it cause to wear jewelry with 1 defense as opposed to 0 defense?
is it just impossible to gift the complete version of the game on steam?
!faq jobs
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.
can you still get the endless summer attire
It's on the cash shop now
What do you buy with poetics when you already have all the levelling gear & weapons?
And all the thavnairan scalepowder to start all the resistance relic weapons
wb the joi set
probably unidentified ore to sell thanalan soil for quick gil
Same, on the cash shop. All old event items are added to the cash shop a few days before the event returns for the next year.
You can hoard HW relic mats if you are going for them.
I'm not planning on doing them, any other suggestions?
Like the other guy said make money with soils or buy accessories to trade in for gc seals
Is there a good cheat sheet for dungeon/boss mechanics for roulette purposes?
the list of dungeons in the roulette are...numerous
they will come to you with experience
you might not think you will remember... but you will
Yeah that's why I was asking for a cheat sheet for my second monitor lol. So many, it'd be nice to have kind of a quick rundown available. Something a bit more abbreviated than, say, the wiki
how to get rid of the lock icon and up/down arrows next to my hotbar?
do you need to redo the 3 alliance raids to continue in msq?
Have you already done them once?
Has the friend already done them once?
yall i retired my chocobo for racing and now i can't figure out how to get another one fml
i think you can either get a new low rank one or use the retired one in covering to get a slightly better one
i have a fledgeling chocobo registration for G1-F and G1-M, a retired chocobo registration, and covering permission G5-M
you'd have to either talk to the woman in central shroud where you do that, or the info person in gold saucer
hmm alright
lemme try that
last time she gave me some popup saying i was missing something
It’s easy
i mean, waiting time is kinda stanky
But it’s not like you’d get 24 people in a PF
(also i haven't been in a single raid in any game ever, but that's beside the point)
so there's only unsynced groups for rewards?
Labyrinth of the Ancients populates in DF pretty quickly most of the time. You don't need to unsync it. It's in one of the roulettes and pops frequently.
oh, so it's more about the fact that now almost everyone in the timezone would be sleeping
Yo peeps, how important do you guys consider sidequests (without +) to a noob? Idk if to stick to mainly doing story quests or to branch out and do sidequests as well in gridania
anything I can buy with max poetics to make $$$
question! i have an 80 rdm who has access to bozjan, and i also have a 70 whm, how can i get my whm to enter bozjan? right now it says "class/job requirement" not met
Main quests are the single best source of EXP in the game. Side quest grinding is largely unnecessary. It's world building, mostly. Sometimes free gear. But for the most part it's safe to ignore the yellow side quests.
Minimum level to enter Bozja is 71.
Noted! Ty!
@jovial quarry thanks!!
unless someone else has a better suggestion, my thoughts have always been Unidentifiable Ore
and as i said it, the DF popped 
Unidentified Ore, if you can buy it. I forget where but you can exchange it for the special gardening top soils, which can sell decently well.
@jovial quarry are there any fun side quests? I just started and most of them seem dry
Tbh I haven't done all of the side quests for that same reason 😅
But the Hildibrand quests beginning at level 50 are pretty funny
The ball dance one is pretty good
Hildibrand questline is gold
Nice tyty for the info
it's somewhere near the end of ARR tho, so you might have to wait a bit before it
oof, it was said already
@tulip zephyr yea tbh all I know is the steps of uldah but I’ll figure it out when I get there lmao
afaik, it's given by the guy who welcomes you to ul'dah
Ok ty
Anybody remember the command to change the appearance of egi's on summoner? I miss my carbuncles xD

It's /egiglamour "egi name" "glamour"
So in practice it would look like /egiglamour "Garuda-Egi" "Emerald Carbuncle"
Thank you so much!
So i got the shadowbringers expansion but where do I put in the code it gave me?
Just wondering, is it possible to mail yourself a mount to a new account (Whisper-Go specifically)?
I played FFXIV a few years ago and I'm thinking about starting from the beginning and im pretty sure I would still have access to this other account with said mount.
in Role Quest for crafters in ShB, anything changes if I turn in HQ ?
Do I get more exp or anything?
whats the fastest way to farm slithersand
I'm stuck in jail with no message saying anything, am I supposed to wait here or submit a ticket or what?
whats the best way to level up from 70 to 80 on alt ?
Dungeons
Bozja too
And if queuing for dungeons take too long, doing fates helps a little
Bozja + pixies + highest level dungeon can be done in couple of days or hours
If you're in GM jail, you've been a very naughty human. Just wait it out and you'll get released eventually
bonk
yes, turn in HQ for the facet quests
gives more exp/scrips
is it better to leave crafting for after finishing the msq or to try and level it alongside the battle job
(at least the relevant crafting jobs)
After doing MSQ
general recommendation is to do it after you've finished leveling
And all of the crafters are relevant
as it'll be much easier to level them then
So relevant in fact that you want to level all of them simultaneously
i mean, not all would be relevant to a single battle job, right
and you'll want to do them all anyway, since it'll save on space as they share gear, and you'll need materials from other crafters
you're going to need multiple crafters leveled
one crafter isn't going to make every thing you need for a battle job
Different crafters make different gear slots
like not every piece of white mage gear is made by weaver
there's going be some pieces that are made by leatherworker, or carpenter or even armourer
its based on the materials of the item itself, not who's using that gear
oooh
The SCH quest line actually displays this
that's nice
what grade does materia rewards give in squadron missions?
iirc 4
My name was just misinterpreted as profanity
I got a name change and that's that
What is wondrous tails,,?
Avoided the NPC bc of the description but idk what the reward is
think of it like a weekly challenge checklist
it has a bunch of stuff for you to do and when you clear there are rewards
kinda, but more for duties than enemies
more of a dungeon/trial/raid log
the base reward, and arguably the most useful, is a big chunk of xp
Wondrous Tails is kind of like a more specific version of the Challenge Log that you have to get a new copy of weekly and it comes with all kinds of rewards
like maybe a third/half of your level bar
sounds like something i'd like
it gives half exp for that level for any class that you turn it in with
theres this other system in place, like a stamp system where completing a challenge gets you a randomly placed stamp and creating a line nets more rewards, idk how to properly explain it
but the gist of it is its a series of challenges that when you finish 9 per week you get a bunch of xp
its like if you complete one duty on it, you get a sticker
up to 9
each line you form gives you more prizes
like bingo
this is what it looks like for reference
the placement is random though so theres some rng
tho that pic looks pretty old lol, just got it from google
Thats an older SC though
yeah, but its just mostly the rewards thats different
cool :0
it looks like a sticker book
its pretty intuitive once you have it, so dont be afraid to just pick one up for yourself
can you still use ishgard restoration to level up crafting classes?
i got it :D
if you have level 80s or anything, you can even probably solo some of the easier stuff like ARR trials just to get quick stickers, tho most people do also use PF for the harder stuff
stuck at the lvl60 cap rn
iirc finish the SB MSQ and then there should be a blue quest in Kugane
but i forget where in Kugane
I finished msq ages ago but there are 2 blue ones
then the ones that involve extreme trials might be hard to do unless you can find people to do it with / carry you if they wanna do it unsynced, but theres also a whole row dedicated to just doing dungeons.
"And we shall call it eureka" is the name of it
oh youre right my bad
On my way! There
once you've unlocked it, the npc to enter eureka will be in kugane tho
I havent followed up on the news about the new expansion yet. But have we gotten information about how much stuff we can do with eachother when we are on different data centers?
not yet
How long does it take to get to the stage where u can farm animos boxes?
After getting to eureka
can you join a fc within a data center or is it still with your own server?
server only i think
Within your server
Can't be on Famfrit and join an Exodus FC
wait are the alexander quests trials or raids?
Raids
What’s going on with Spriggan that has it down for emergency maintenance?
24-player raids?
8

oh okay
they're what are called Normal Raids, which are kinda new but also not really. the binding coils of bahamut are also normal raids but they're way harder than the normal raids introduced later on.
oh
and unlocking alexander raids will unlock a new duty roulette for your dailies, but that roulette does not include bahamut
because, again, theyre just really hard
Coils aren’t in raid roulette for a reason
whats the purpose of the hunting log?
early leveling
Pre-10 leveling
free exp
its probably the easiest way to level from 1 - 15 or so
Past Lv 10 it's honestly worthless
before you can unlock dungeons
you get a class ring for completing all of it as well for each class
Those rings go immediately into the armoire
i honestly dont see the point of glamour rings, half the time theyre gonna be covered by your armor. at least earrings are somewhat visible.
Just don't wear gloves, there's plenty of glamours that allow for that
but you will know that you're wearing rings not matching your outfit under those gloves
and it will eat at you
slowly but surely
So im having trouble reinstalling the game
I tried the free trial and had to factory reset my pc and im struggling to reinstall the game itself
Because I seem to get this, and i have no idea what this is
I haven't gotten an email either
did you buy it on steam?
you said trial right? this looks like the installer for the non-trial version of the game
!faq freetrial
Well i dont know how to install the free trial version of the game agaij
click download that kupo bot shared
Well now you do
Thank youu
guys i bought something from the mogstation and i cant find it in the delivery moogle
Have you tried waiting
10min now but i'll wait more
Also, me and a friend are trying out this game with the free trial and it says you cant make a party with a free trial account. Does that mean there is no way we can play together?
You can play together and join parties
You just can’t initiate with a lot of things
hey i have a question i got the fat black chocobo but how do i redeem it ont he web site?
I need a piece of armor from the void arc, would it be possible to run it solo?
"enter item code" button
okay thank you
is it bad to do savage raid with someone who already cleared it for the week?
Yes
should i just repeat register for void arc, or just try to solo it? Are alliance raids even soloable?
alliance raids need 3 parties of at least one people each to undersize
if you're trying to do the bozja step that wants SB fates or HW/SB 24-mans, you can't undersize them
they said they just want a particular piece of armor
if you don't mind paying gil and aren't on the trial, the Void Ark gear has a dyeable version at level 70 as crafted gear.
they're the i350 gear sets
Its the true linen sets
Nightsteel/Slothskin/True Linen
The accents on the dyable ver is a little different but the same model
yeah... the true linen is yellow/green
Imma just do it the slow way and register for void arc as a ranged dps
I just... really like that void arc purple
Hi. Me and my friends are at lvl 70 fully equipped with poetics ilvl 400
Assuming 4 - 5 people, can we easily clear coil bahamut? And do we need to do all from 1-5 to unlock next quest? We just want to play for the story
Our healer is still at lvl 60 though
You could solo that shit at i400
Yeah you can clear it pretty easily even with that healer deficit.
You only need to clear the last floor for each step
You need to have at least one tank
So, no story at all by clearing turn 1-4?
There are a few story cutscenes in a few in between floors
I think T8 or T9 has a tankbuster when you have more than one person in the boss area
I see
But they're mostly front and back loaded
And if you don't have a tank it's going to straight up oneshot you
You'll be fine then
Wat is best way for most amount shield with noct/scholar pre pull
I just got Valor armor set. Do I have to switch between valor and gallant every time I do a dungeon or instance?
no, just wear the valor gear
Is it possible to do cll with 4 ppl?
Thanks. Also, regarding the tomestone it gives you. Should I just get the augmented weapon first. So much better than anything I've had so far.
