[faint flare]

For the game

[brazen pollen]

oh got it thanks

[kind burrow]

My cursor gets stuck on screen every few seconds, does anyone know how one might be able to solve this problem?

[ember vault]

whens that happening

like area, battle or in general

[shrewd prism]

Hey all, I've been told that most classes at low level dont feel real engaging with there rotation.. so at what level would you say most classes start feeling "complete" with there rotation..

[bright wagon]

if i buy the game on steam will it be autoclaimed and my 30day trial begins from that moment? or can i leech free trial for story mode and then activate the game i bought?

[faint flare]

No you get a code

On pc

[shut panther]

expansion classes generally feel 90% complete when you get unlock them

[lyric rapids]

i am new but i started feeling my rotation on my Black Mage around level 40

[shut panther]

base classes often feel weird until 70+

(imo)

sorry I should say, sb/shb expansion classes.

hw classes suffer similarly to arr ones

especially drk..

[bright wagon]

thanks for info so I can buy now while its still on sale and not use the code till i leech the story mode and then use the code and continue my free trial am i right sensei?

[modest igloo]

most of the time around lvl 60, esp for DRG BLM and MCH

[shut panther]

about that.. xd

[ember vault]

level 60 in general is pretty damn good for rotaions

[faint flare]

Yes

[bright wagon]

\o/ good to know thanks for info

[shut panther]

the biggest issue, imo, is the game is very shy about ogcds until 50+

[lyric rapids]

don't laugh i am new xD, but i started to feel some kind of rotation around 40 but of course not the complete rotation

[shut panther]

blm just happens to be the absolute worst class about the rotation doing a 360 kickflip every few levels

[ember vault]

To be fair though level 30 is actually good cause you have a fair bit of acess to skills at that point

[shrewd prism]

thanks for the info all... just gonna keep leveling different classes till i find one that "clicks" with me then, I started with marauder

[ember vault]

Black Mage takes some getting used to

[reef quiver]

Fastest way to farm loathsome memories?

[faint flare]

Do castrum

[reef quiver]

Thanks 👌

[lyric rapids]

what is this number next to my character?

[modest igloo]

item level

[faint flare]

Average item level

[lyric rapids]

oh yeah i see i didn't realize

[shrewd prism]

are you able to see item level on equipment slots?

[modest igloo]

its used for calculating how you get into later content

[modest igloo]

yep, hover over it

[random dune]

its on the grey bar above stats

(item lvl)

[lilac thicket]

Is there a guide somehwere how to level crafters in the Firament quickly and efficently? Like with macros & what to craft specifically & needed breakpoints?

[young steppe]

What is this logo

[ember vault]

Rare Mark

for Hunters

[naive steeple]

The reddit weekly crafting/gathering mentions a channel #doh-dol-lounge... This doesn't actually exist, does it?

[green grail]

#doh-dol-lounge

probably need the role for it from #860652505117753384

[naive steeple]

Ahhhh I am dumb. Thanks!

[brisk token]

hello!

how do I get a harp?

[modest igloo]

like the weapon?

[brisk token]

music

[junior walrus]

ah bard performance

[open rivet]

Level Bard to level 30, go to gridania @ the theater
it's a blue quest

[brisk token]

okay!

thank you

[onyx kiln]

you can't undertake the older relic quests like for want of memory or a new path of resistance with the replica weapons right?

[lilac thicket]

thanks, i just got access to that sub, ill look around

[final oar]

how do i use a mount? i bought an account mount and i made a new character. now what

[modest igloo]

did you get your chocobo?

!faq mount\

[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.

[final oar]

no i bought one online i said

[modest igloo]

then you need to do story

[open rivet]

the ability to use mounts is unlocked by getting the chocobo

[warm snow]

Can't get mount access early

Choco is your mount unlock

[final oar]

oh thats annoying

[warm snow]

No p2w

[final oar]

moving faster is just qof not p2w but gg i guess

[open rivet]

no, if you could buy a mount & get access earlier would be p2w

[glossy flare]

you unlock it after ~3 hours anyway

eh, maybe more depending on queues

[open rivet]

^ literally after 2nd or so dungeon

[glossy flare]

after the first trial

[open rivet]

ye

but ifrit's so quick it's basically right after tam-tara

[young steppe]

So do I need a quest for it or smth

[ember vault]

if you have hunting bills that have them as a target you can go after them

[open rivet]

no, they're open world targets.
you should have "The Hunt" unlocked tho so you can profit w/ tokens

[ember vault]

^^^

[young steppe]

Oh damn

[open rivet]

if it's a rare target (S Rank) expect a few people to arrive shortly after it spawns

[young steppe]

HW is the start of the chain quest for Hunt?

[ember vault]

dont fight S ranks alone they will clap your cheeks if you're at the same level lol

[opaque sparrow]

just started playing cuz I'm sick of playing solo games...best way to find people to play casually with?

[young steppe]

Join FC

[ember vault]

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/community_finder/

[young steppe]

I myself am having trouble finding people to do PotD and HoH 200 with cause soloing is slow for me

[open rivet]

Level 50 in base game, go to your Grand Company -> there's a hunt NPC.

[young steppe]

Ditto

[ember vault]

jesus you masochist lol

[young steppe]

I did 200 with 3 others for PotD, 2 of them were FC-mates and 1 of them was from the #reddit-recruitment-feed

[leaden ginkgo]

does anyone know how long is castrum merid msq if u skip the last cutscene

[young steppe]

45min

[leaden ginkgo]

no way

[young steppe]

Oh wait that's Praetorium

[open rivet]

meridianum is 28m

[ember vault]

20 minutes roughly

[open rivet]

+- a few minutes depending on how good your party is

[ember vault]

25

[young steppe]

Praetorium cutscene is 45mins altogether (saw it in Youtube) unsure about Meridianum

[thick timber]

I’m finding the sheer filler in the MSQ to be really really infuriating, I’m level 30 now, once I hit level 50 just how much of ARR is left

[ember vault]

you've gotten the more streamlined version 😄

[open rivet]

level 50 has like... 80-90 quests

[ember vault]

try doing that stuff pre-HW

[thick timber]

UghhHhHHhH

[modest igloo]

you mean MSQ? character level doesn't mean much

[thick timber]

Fuckit im getting the skip lol

[ember vault]

Titan is the main roadbump in Arr but its not as bad as it used to be trust me

[thick timber]

If I have to deliver one more letter imma scream

[modest igloo]

you still have to do story even if you skip

[ember vault]

noo dont skip

[leaden ginkgo]

this is how it is till the endgame

[modest igloo]

also need to buy a level skip too

[thick timber]

Ya but the dlc seems much more interesting

[young steppe]

But the story is good

[ember vault]

you'll miss out on the unique job armour for one

[pulsar escarp]

do you stop using fire once you get despair?

[young steppe]

Huge waste if you skip but to each their own

[open rivet]

do not skip pre "The Ultimate Weapon".
you get a free fantasia after beating that -> literally $10 free.

[green grail]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

u can buy the job armor

[pulsar escarp]

what are the continued uses?

[leaden ginkgo]

from a salvager i think

[young steppe]

ShB > HW > ARR > StB in terms of story for me

[pulsar escarp]

astral fire refresh?

[green grail]

yep

[ember vault]

I still have my fantasia held with my retainer lol

[young steppe]

I rather you skip StB if you want

[green grail]

F4 F4 F4 f1 F4 F4 F4 despair

[leaden ginkgo]

StB isnt that bad

i enjoyed the zones

[ember vault]

ARR Aplhinaud > ShB Alphinaud ???

[young steppe]

The zones is alright, the story is not really...?

[pulsar escarp]

I guess the no b4 opener just doesn't have it in the opener

[thick timber]

If I did get the skip, would I be able to hit 50 to start HW from doing dungeons

[pulsar escarp]

so why don't they use despair instead? it's slower?

[green grail]

in what scenario

[pulsar escarp]

idk

[green grail]

despair uses all your mp

[pulsar escarp]

aha

that'll be it

[green grail]

so you can't refresh fire with it

[pulsar escarp]

well that explains everything then

[young steppe]

Err no

[trail elk]

Is blackest night something you use on yourself most of the time

[pulsar escarp]

so it's just the single target version of foul

[young steppe]

You still have to unlock the dungeons in HW via MSQ there

[queen gulch]

hey currently i got the full game on steam, i got it working through the library too, but now it says both the main game and trial is installed

[green grail]

single target flare

[queen gulch]

any way i can get rid of the trial in my steam library?

[green grail]

xenoglossy is the ST foul

[pulsar escarp]

*flare yes

I don't remember any blm names

they all sound the same to me

[young steppe]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Heavensward_Main_Scenario_Quests

Your 1st dungeon is here

[green grail]

if you're tanking then yes, if you're the offtank then you use it on the maintank for mitigation=damage

[pulsar escarp]

also yes, absolutely. it's your primary mitigation. since the cooldown is so short though, if you know someone is going to mess up or if you're off tank and a tank buster's coming, feel free to tbn for a free break

[young steppe]

Which is after 37 MSQs lmao

[green grail]

just right click it in the list and hide game, or whatever the option's called

[young steppe]

If there is a skip system, I rather 'skip' all the stupid silly white quests cause it is an eyesore on my map

[crimson crystal]

you don't need to do all those

you can also hide them on the mini map I'm pretty sure. On the left should be filter buttons

[ionic linden]

in shisui of the violet tides, i get item after last boss, i can get the weapon too, i got all the items already, but didnt got weapon, i should run it agian?

[smoky girder]

pyros is dead, but i only need 2 crystals... is there a way to get them without anyone else's help?

[queen gulch]

didnt even know thats a thing, thanks

[storm iris]

Is setting up mogstation orchestrion rolls on personal houses for gil against ToS?

[warm snow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[open coral]

I don’t think you can trade Mogstation orchestrion rolls

[ember vault]

@storm iris thats not doable for a reason

[storm iris]

it is

[crimson crystal]

not worth tbh, you'll get better weapons soon enough

[ember vault]

wait not selling it?

[storm iris]

I set up a mogstation only orchestrion roll at a friend's house

BRO

[ember vault]

like the rolls themselves?

[ionic linden]

just for glamour 😄

[final oar]

how do i play with my friend?

[crimson crystal]

only if they're on the same data center

[final oar]

im a lancer and hes anarchist

[storm iris]

I MEANT IT AS:

They share the house with me

I set up the orchestrion roll

I leave the shared house thing

[open rivet]

you can set your unlocked orchestrions on other people's houses if you got tenant status,
he means doing this as a service

[smoky girder]

oooh you cant play with anarchists

[storm iris]

And that's it.

It works.

[final oar]

why?

[crimson crystal]

he's joking

[smoky girder]

im joking

[final oar]

ok so how do i play with them I:

[crimson crystal]

are you on the same DC?

[smoky girder]

you mean archanist, you two would both start in different towns, are you in the same server?

[final oar]

i know its something about lvl 15 but idk

[open coral]

You both have to progress through the MSQ

[final oar]

yea were in the same server Sargatanas cuz of extra xp

[ember vault]

if you've just started it depends on where you are in the story

[open coral]

Once you get to the quest “It’s probably pirates” you’ll be able to play together

!quest it’s probably pirates

[zinc orbit]

Command Error!

An unhandled error has occurred: 'issuer'

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

[smoky girder]

good, thats a good one.

[ember vault]

have you unlocked airship travel?

[final oar]

would i have to travel to them or something? like once i get that quest?

[worn flume]

no

[smoky girder]

yeah, you just have to push msq. you will go to gridania soon

[open coral]

No, the MSQ merges at that point

[final oar]

no we both just started

[open coral]

So you’ll both be in the same place

[final oar]

so basically just play till i get an airship and pirates quest?

[open coral]

Yep

[ember vault]

airship travel is the first step towards being able to access other places

[final oar]

ok thanks all ❤️ time to paly

play

[ember vault]

np 🙂

[final oar]

and is there anyway to buy gear early on? i cant find an armor person

[open coral]

As long as you’re only getting paid in gil, I don’t see that it would violate TOS in any way

[open coral]

Don’t bother. You’ll get plenty through the MSQ and your job quests

[final oar]

cause i need to get lvl 5 gear for this quest ;-;

and idk how to get gear

[open coral]

Oh, there should be a vendor near the quest giver

[ember vault]

what city did you start in

[final oar]

the elf one

[open coral]

Marked by a bag icon on your mini map

[final oar]

gridania

[ember vault]

Theres a market place next to the leatherworkers guild

[open coral]

No

[open rivet]

make sure to read the quest text right, you only need to buy one item iirc,
all others should already be item level 5 from the previous quests

[open coral]

For that quest there is a merchant right near the quest

[ember vault]

they'll have bag icons on the map

[open coral]

You don’t have to go back to Gridania

[smoky girder]

is there a way to get pyros crystals without other players?

[cunning loom]

pray you're in an instance of eureka without many players

since the strength of NMs scales with # of players inside

then just spawn everything yourself

[keen sinew]

hey guys, quick question: i bought ff14 through steam, but i already had an enix account i used to play the free trial on, will i have to start over from the beggining or can i somehow link these account as to not lose progress?

[open coral]

You can link your Steam version on the mogstation

Then just continue

That’s the only time you can switch versions

You’re locked to Steam going forward once you’ve done that

[keen sinew]

ah, okay, thank you

[honest anvil]

materia sells decently fast

[cunning loom]

if you progress the skybuilder relics you can sell the 90 yellow scrip items for some good money

otherwise i think commanding 7, cunning/commanding 4 are pretty good

since those are common pentameld materia

[smoky girder]

pyros has 2 people in it right now, so you think i could do it?

[cunning loom]

yeah, it's doable depending on the specific monster

not the actual bonus, VII/IV

IV is in the level 50 section

but just check the MB prices first to make sure

[gleaming shadow]

Hi there. I can see that backstepping is slower than walking forward. Is there a similar slowdown for strafing I'm not noticing or is backstepping the only thing that slows you down ?

[open coral]

Only backpedaling is rp walk speed

[gleaming shadow]

So strafing is the same speed as walking forward ?

[open coral]

Yes

[gleaming shadow]

Thanks !

[cunning loom]

there's a spreadsheet you can find online that'll help calculate potential profit

it uses estimated marketboard prices based on what some people have tracked, so it's not exactly reliable

but it's a good tool to point you in the right path

[junior walrus]

how many poetics can i get in one day until the cap?

[cunning loom]

however much you're willing to grind

[trail elk]

Can the warrior of light romance anyone in the main story

[cunning loom]

there's no limit as long as you spend before capping at 2k

[trail elk]

Or is it gona be dull the whole time

[junior walrus]

wouldn't say dull, and probably not romance but your WoL can get attached to some characters imo

[trail elk]

Am I able to do something with yshtola

[amber yarrow]

quick question about this server, is it okay to stream ffxiv as long as you warn about spoilery content?

[cunning loom]

no, you can't romance characters aside from other players

you can form your own headcanon if you want

[amber yarrow]

im only asking because people are unsure whether its okay to do or not, i skimmed over the rules to be safe but i didnt see anything about streams in there

[pallid gust]

Returning player, I stopped somewhere in Stormblood because life got too busy to accommodate my own ocd-ish playstyle. Attempting to giving it another try and just do MSQs exclusively so I can experience the Shadowbringer story hype... It's not how I want to enjoy the game but I don't have much of a choice. How long do you think it would take to rush through Shadowbringer and am I missing out on much by skipping all the sidequests?

[junior walrus]

headcanons are the real deal

[flat yew]

is there ever a reason to go one-hand + shield on WHM?

[crimson crystal]

you're always fine to pass on sidequests tbh. Main ShB msq took me like four days (but I'm slow) plus patches

[pulsar escarp]

obviously do job quests but yeah

[pallid gust]

4 full days or like... Workdays where you play at night or something

[pulsar escarp]

And don’t no life it, if you have a schedule

Set aside some time

It took me a week or so but I was playing quite a lot

[stable tangle]

i have "display achievements nearing completion as login notification" turned off, why does it still open the window every time i login?

[crimson crystal]

I think there's a setting like "keep it minimized" or something

[stable tangle]

this is how it looks to me, i cant find the option you mentioned

[final oar]

what does a blue quest icon mean

[stable tangle]

it unlocks something

some unlock features, some unlock dungeons, some unlock leves

also job quests are blue, and unlock skills and job advancements

[leaden ginkgo]

And they're so important that they show under your MSQ guide.

[final oar]

so should i always do them? or just focus on main quests

[leaden ginkgo]

In other words, do them.

[final oar]

oh ok

[leaden ginkgo]

Do your job quests.

[cunning loom]

do them as soon as you're able to

[leaden ginkgo]

Especially if you're a Tank or Healer.

[stable tangle]

do them, the leves are less important to do right away

[stark hedge]

What is the best way to farm poetics?

[final oar]

if a quest gives me gear or gold which do i take?

[cunning loom]

is the gear better than what you're using

if not, gold

[final oar]

even if its only slightly better?

[leaden ginkgo]

Let me guess, MSQ?

What class are you, anyway?

[final oar]

yes

main quests with slightly better gear or gold so idk which to pick. idk how good gold is

[leaden ginkgo]

What class are you, anyway?

[astral edge]

any ideas/tips of what to do once ive bought the game

im like at patch 2.4 or something

[leaden ginkgo]

Get as far as you're willing to go with the Free Trial, hold the activation code till then.

[astral edge]

do codes ever expire

[stark sleet]

If you are a tank, I would probably take the better gear even if it's only a little better. For the other classes, probably leaning more toward your call, quests don't really give much gil when you choose the money reward, but at the same time you'll probably get another upgrade chance soon enough if you pass this one by now

[astral edge]

specifically if i buy from GMG if that makes any difference

[leaden ginkgo]

I should ask why GMG given the game was on sale for... wait, I assume the SE store sale ended, and buying through Steam was not an option?

But no, codes do not expire.

Just keep it somewhere safe.

[south umbra]

Hey all, I'm playing ffxiv with 7 friends who have recently all hit lvl 80 on their main class, we have a item lvl range from 490 - 520. What would you say are must do's for a party of 8 somewhat new players? (we've done a few treasure maps, and low lvl extremes unsynced so far.)

[final oar]

im lancer @leaden ginkgo

[astral edge]

so just activate code once im at lvl60 ig?

[leaden ginkgo]

Or once you feel like you've had enough of the Free Trial's limitations. Whatever comes first.

[shut panther]

I'd do all the weapon trials together

[stark sleet]

If you're interested in combat content, the level 80 EX trials would be pretty good. With that ilvl range you should be able to pick any one of them

[south umbra]

Is the weapon trials the Emerald Weapon ones? )Just making sure its the right one.

[shut panther]

ruby/emerald/diamond

[pulsar escarp]

Definitely the weapons, yeah

they’d be a lot of fun

Especially blind if you’re up to it for EX LMAO

but maybe not if you’re newly 80

[shut panther]

the ex modes of those would be the first taste of "actually intended to kill you" content, which could tell your group if they want to attempt savage or not

[pulsar escarp]

however the normal eden raids could also be fun to do together

plus there’s story in both

assuming you haven’t done them

[final oar]

should i bother doing fates? whats the point of them besides xp?

[faint flare]

Just xp while waiting on ques

Some gives achievements for minions

[south umbra]

Thanks for that, I didn't even know they existed :P, yeah we're all up for blind content so this will defo serve that purpose.
yeah edens on our radar too.

[pulsar escarp]

o7

[faint flare]

Shadowbringers fates give you currency to buy stuff

[pulsar escarp]

Warning weapon trials might make you all cry

base story wise

[south umbra]

thanks for the heads up.

[pulsar escarp]

Eden’s wholesome

[south umbra]

thank you all 😋

[pulsar escarp]

[chrome pivot]

Does anyone know when the make it rain campaign starts this month?

[faint flare]

No

There will be a news post

When it's almost here

[chrome pivot]

Are there seasonal prizes like the moogle event? Or purely MGP boost?

[broken cairn]

I think prizes

[faint flare]

Primarily mgp boost

[remote mango]

Hello. I bought the game and didn’t use the free trial (had no idea) Has anyone tried contacting support to see if they can utilize the free trial before the playtime expires? Long shot but worth a try asking

[faint flare]

And items are discounted

[stark hedge]

Is eureka fastest way to grind poetics?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey! New player here. I'm from Australia and I was wondering which data center to choose for lower pings and English speaking players.

[faint flare]

!faq datacenterip

[zinc orbit]

Datacenter IP Addresses

List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter

North America
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11

Europe
Chaos: 195.82.50.9
Light: 195.82.50.10

Japan
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158

how do I ping the IP?

Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*

[faint flare]

Check ping via this

Most go Jp data centre... Tonberry and kujata mainly is where they're at

OCE data centre next year

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah thanks! I'll ping the servers and see. Appreciate it.

[bright quartz]

blue marks above NPC is the main quest line yeah?

[trail temple]

anyone know when will the gmg ffxiv sale last?

[faint flare]

No

[cunning loom]

[faint flare]

!faq questicons

[zinc orbit]

What do all these quest icons mean?

- 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.

[bright quartz]

thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

So, the JP servers are way better for me. Which one should I choose? Tonberry or Kujata?

[warm snow]

!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

[warm snow]

[flint sentinel]

What dpi is recommended for playing m+k

[robust crow]

dpi doesn't really matter in this game?

it's not a shooter

just whatever is comfortable for you

if you're really interested in endgame raiding then I generally don't recommend clicking any of your skills anyway

mouse control is probably 90% going to be controlling your camera most of the time

[leaden ginkgo]

what do hildibrand quests unlock?

[flint sentinel]

Gotcha. Wasn't really sure at first. Cuz I'm switching to mouse and keyboard.

[faint flare]

Emotes, glamour, some trials, bardings, minions

[robust crow]

you don't really need any sort of mouse precision at all for ffxiv

you really should not be clicking too many skills to begin with

[leaden ginkgo]

ah ok, do you recommend that I do them?

[faint flare]

It's a funny silly quest line

[robust crow]

setting your keybinds in a comfortable way for you is far more important

[leaden ginkgo]

oh ok

[robust crow]

if you haven't already, unbind "turn camera" off A and D

rebind strafe from Q and E onto A and D

this way you can use Q and E for more skill keybinds

that's prime real estate that a lot of players pass up on

[flint sentinel]

Well I found a keyboard with macros. Is that good.

[robust crow]

err not exactly good for ffxiv

keyboard macros aren't really that helpful in a game where your rotation isn't static

they're meant to help you automate repetitive shit

not to mention it's probably a gray area with concerns of being compared to botting

not helpful for combat at least but it might be helpful for crafting

[flint sentinel]

I'll probably only use macros for crafting

[robust crow]

well, like I was saying

it's either illegal or a gray area

because it's very similar to botting

[flint sentinel]

Okay so I should go with a keyboard with no macros on it?

[robust crow]

i don't think whether or not your keyboard has macro capability should be what you're shopping for

all the high end gamer keyboards have "macro capabilities"

if you're shopping for keyboards, you should be more concerned about the key switch type and whether or not it has keybinding functionality

[flint sentinel]

The keyboard I found does have keybind functionality

[knotty lily]

Might be more important that your mouse has extra capabilities for modifiers (Alt, Shift, Ctrl), and your hotbar keybinds are set up to allow you to hit as many buttons as possible with little space

[robust crow]

that too

an MMO mouse goes a long way in ffxiv

having 12 extra buttons on the mouse is a big deal when your class has like 30 buttons

[flint sentinel]

You guys have any recommendations?

[calm hull]

Look at the G600 its great

[robust crow]

I use the corsair scimitar with the corsair k100

[sleek basin]

Do people still do Return to Ivalice

[knotty lily]

I get by with 2 Mouse buttons for moves, and 2 for modifiers (Alt and Ctrl)
Logi G502, oldie but it works

[robust crow]

i used to use blue switches because I like the clickiness, but I switched to their optical switch and I like that too

[sleek basin]

Same

[robust crow]

any mouse that has 12 buttons like this is fine

the corsair is just the one I use

[knotty lily]

Remember your hotbars can use multiple modifiers
1, Ctrl+1, Alt+1, Ctrl+Alt+1, Shift+1, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+1, etc.
Those alone can be 5 different moves attached to the "same button", feel me?

[robust crow]

i really would not recommend too many modifiers

[spring elk]

I can't see the "Chocobo Feather Exchange" option despite having gold feathers?

[robust crow]

a few is fine but too many gets clunky

[spring elk]

i'm using naga pro, I love it

[knotty lily]

Actually better ex M4, Alt+M4, Ctrl+M4, Alt+Ctrl+M4, since I can hit them all from my mouse alone

[knotty lily]

Same, it can get clunky so gotta find what works best for yourself

[faint flare]

Deal in spoils

[spring elk]

O.o

tysm ❤️

[flint sentinel]

Would this mouse be ok to buy?

[leaden ginkgo]

Looks like a really cheap mouse

[calm hull]

The G600 was a cost effective replacement for my Naga

[tardy tangle]

actually, I have a mouse of a similar model, and I can confirm that this is worth buying if you want to pursue that decision

granted, I have a Razor Naga Classic, but semantics are semantics

[flint sentinel]

Well I have a really tight budget

Sadly

[leaden ginkgo]

You cant go wrong with the g600

[tardy tangle]

what are the stats Intelligence and Mind for?

[faint flare]

Casters and healers respectively

[robust crow]

they're useless to you if you aren't a caster or healer

[young steppe]

Where is the quest to unlock Moogle Beast Tribe? I;ve already done all the white quest thinking it would give me the blue one here in Churning Mists

!faq hwjobs

[zinc orbit]

Heavensward Jobs and How to Unlock Them

Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (DRK, Tank), Astrologian (AST, Healer), and Machinist (MCH, Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Since the 5.3 update DRK, AST, and MCH are now included in the free trial/Starter edition of the game, though the unlock requirements are still the same.

Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".
Machinist - Stephanivien at Foundation (8,10), quest name is "Savior of Skysteel".

[faint flare]

You can be every job

[robust crow]

you will not unlock MCH for a long time

it's also a separate level so your MCH is going to start at 30 regardless of what your archer or any other class is

[naive jacinth]

I am aware of the level. But not sure If i can start as any class and get to MCH after I reach the quest for it 🙂

[young steppe]

Used to be you having to be an ARC to unlock ROG but they scrap that part, also MCH has no affinity to other classes

[warm snow]

You can

[leaden ginkgo]

You can

[faint flare]

It has no requirements

[warm snow]

You just won't be able to get the quest for a while

[faint flare]

Other than get to heavensward

[naive jacinth]

Great! Thanks a lot guys!

[robust crow]

as I said, it does not matter because MCH is not related to any other class

you will need another class to do story with

you have to play something else up until you unlock MCH

then you have to catch MCH up to your story level

[young steppe]

Just do MSQ w/ any of the ranged physical (i.e. BRD) then you can share the gear with your MCH and future DNC

[calm hull]

So here is a pickle, I came back two days ago and started doing MSQ at lvl 50 for Heavensword. I've been doing my dailes and I just dinged lvl 58 but my MSQ's are at 52, when I hit 60 should I keep on the MSQ even though their low level or try another class? I dunno what to do...

[robust crow]

keep on MSQ

[young steppe]

Ideally other class on MSQ

[robust crow]

pick up more classes

[calm hull]

Gotcha

[young steppe]

Cause after Heavensward, there'll be Post-Heavensward

[robust crow]

pick up 1 or 2 other classes and start dumping your roulette EXP into them until they catch up

[idle void]

I get this message every now and then but I'm just standing here crafting

[robust crow]

RDM and SAM both start at 50 so they're good to go right away

GNB and DNC start at 60 so they're even further ahead

[young steppe]

Best if you can juggle the type of classes together since they share items

[final oar]

pets are just cosmetic right? so i shouldnt spend 2400 on it?

[calm hull]

Im on sam now but I was thinking about healer for alt leveling

[young steppe]

Role Quests FAQ

What are Role Quests?

Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.

At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.

I can't find where I left off!

No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.

you can't really do MSQ together though

Ah thank you, the complete edition sale on steam and GMG are the same price so I dont thinks its relevant to me

all you can do is try to be on the same quest and then queue for dungeons and bosses together

any time the MSQ forces you into an instanced fight, you have to drop your party anyway

!faq mount

[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.

[zinc orbit]

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[warm snow]

Acn = smn here

Since sch is a healer

[hasty sand]

Working on making a Macro for RDM, Telling the party who i'm reviving, would this work?

[queen gulch]

does it open up regularly? like would it be worth for my friends to wait untill the server opens up again?

[young steppe]

Aight

[lilac thicket]

for Craftman's Cunning Materia V is it only the marketboard where i can find it, or somewhere else as well?

[warm snow]

See above faq and read it all

[warm snow]

It should

[faint flare]

If you've done the story of the custom delivery person then it changes every week. Their items are static during their story

[autumn hedge]

You can just wait a bit and try again. I had to wait until a more inactive time of day

[hasty sand]

ty

[warm snow]

Feel free to test with echo and jolt on a dummy

[robust crow]

probably put the /ac verraise line first

and maybe add /merror off at the end

and also duplicate the /ac verraise line like 10 times

[autumn hedge]

I guess I'm clueless as to how collectibles work then. I talked to the guy in Ishgard and he was the one that unlocked being able to even get collectibles

[hasty sand]

what does Merror do?

[robust crow]

prevents it from showing you the macro error system message if the macro fails

[leaden ginkgo]

is it poissible to stop the camera from auto-adjusting when running? its driving me nuts

[robust crow]

duplicate the ac line 10 times because macros are fucky and this helps the macro actually fire off the skill

[upbeat saffron]

When I’m looking at eorzea on the map, fully zoomed out, I can’t click on the map to see its various areas. It doesn’t allow click and zoom in. Is this a design flaw or bug? I fail to get a cohesive overview of the world where I can zoom in and zoom out to have a better understanding of the world

[final oar]

do i gain anything for attacking an enemy first or last? cuz i know some other games do that

[hasty sand]

Can I just Copy paste?

[robust crow]

yes

[obtuse laurel]

I'm sorry, second dumb question. I have starter edition and shadowbringers code... do I enter the shadowbringer code at some point?

[warm snow]

No

[robust crow]

so the macro will probably look something like

/ac verraise
/ac verraise
/ac verraise (repeat 7 more times)
/p text here
/merror off
/micon verraise

[leaden ginkgo]

go to mogstation and enter both

[warm snow]

Shadowbringers code after starter edition code

[obtuse laurel]

Gotcha

[hasty sand]

How's this?

[celest crest]

Where can I find revenant hall for better armor? I cannot continue the MSQ atm due to ILVL?

[robust crow]

it's /merror off

not just /merror

see my example macro above

[warm snow]

Do your job quests if item level is ever stopping msq progress

You'll almost always get a set of armor for completing them

[hasty sand]

Removed some of the Verraise things

So Sorry for the picture spam but I don't want to embaress myself in a trial/raid

[celest crest]

Where can I locate them, the paladin guy I did quests for no longer has anything for me?

[languid creek]

Might also want to indicate you're raising too in the macro text, not just a quip/comment

[leaden ginkgo]

can i get a secondary job to 50 from 26 in a day?

[stark sleet]

Yes, I think it should be somewhere in character config > controls.

[warm snow]

Feel free to add <se.5> for sound/extra emparassment change the number to find a noise you like

[hasty sand]

Depends on how many FATEs you can tolerate

[warm snow]

Where are you in msq

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone know the difference between the 3 NA data servers?

[warm snow]

There is none

[celest crest]

Rock the Castrum

[leaden ginkgo]

im guessing fates during queue for roulette?

[warm snow]

There's just 3 cuz there's lots of yanks playing ff14

[hasty sand]

And after

[warm snow]

Check under your msq tracker icon

[robust crow]

no you WANT all the verraise lines

[warm snow]

It should have your latest job quest

[hasty sand]

Remember your food buffs.

[robust crow]

you want as many verraise lines as the macro will let you have

[warm snow]

If you've done them all you should have gotten a coffer with gear

[robust crow]

because that forces the macro to try the command again

[warm snow]

Use it for a bunch of gear

[leaden ginkgo]

wym and after

[feral trail]

Is potd any good for leveling alts?

[hasty sand]

After you're done doing roulettes

[languid creek]

Aether is good if you like raiding, Crystal for rp and crafting. But yea its just pure amount of people warrants it

[celest crest]

Oh thank you never noticed that 🙂

[warm snow]

Yes once you've unlocked past level 50

[leaden ginkgo]

oh yeah thats what i mean

rp and crafting ?

like between roulettes

[warm snow]

In future job quests > msq progress since skill unlocks will be locked behind job quests

Have fun storming the castrum

[leaden ginkgo]

What about primal?

[warm snow]

!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

[languid creek]

There are a lot of text roleplayers and roleplay housing on Crystal DC, and they need people to make housing stuff so increased crafting

[hasty sand]

Looks like I have the Macro working!

Thanks all ❤️

[knotty lily]

Wouldnt even call Aether bad for RP though, I see a TON of stuff in our PF every day. But I dont have the comparison to Crystall I guess so maybe its just even more

[robust crow]

i wager our RP is tame as fuck compared to crystal

[languid creek]

Primal is a midline from my understanding, I don't hear as much good or bad coming out of it

[robust crow]

but yeah PF is flooded with bars and clubs on the weekends

[hasty sand]

I've seen a lot of... adverts for not very family friendly RPs on Aether

[cold river]

what are allagan tomestones for?

[hasty sand]

Gear buying, Relic powder later on

[robust crow]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

[warm snow]

The best gear of previous expansions

[cold river]

thank you guys

[hasty sand]

Gives you the best gear you can get at 50, 60, 70

[warm snow]

You'll be able to use them for lv80 gear once Endwalker drops

[hasty sand]

^

[languid creek]

Is it going to be the cryptlurker probably?

[warm snow]

That's confirmed

Shadowbringers is over content wise

530 is the gear cap

[reef quiver]

Does your achievement currency cap?

[faint flare]

No

[warm snow]

Probably but there's not enough achievements to cap it

[fossil magnet]

Im oce and want to play game, but I heard they are getting OCE servers soon so it might be a waste. If I start playing can I transfer character for free when OCE gets a server?

[faint flare]

You should yes

Since they'll be new servers

And transfer to new servers is free

[hollow violet]

What is my next step for gear progression? I've completed 5.55 and am in a mix of Exarchic and tower at a paradigms breach gear for a 510 ilvl

[robust crow]

check pins

I wrote a gear guide

tldr; cap revelations and buy cryptlurker gear and do savage

it's 900 obtainable per week now though, not 450

[crystal bluff]

Or augment your exarhic

[hollow violet]

Didn't realize they changed the cap, thanks! Saving the guide as well

[main wigeon]

yo guys am lvl 60 and want to go to Idyllshire to spend some Allagan Tomestone of Poetics for armor. But the way there is locked, can anyone please help? 🙂

[robust crow]

the gear guide won't change until EW comes out

other than being 900 instead of 450

[faint flare]

Do story

[chrome island]

Do you get a black chocobo via MSQ? Or at all, for that matter?

[robust crow]

you get one in MSQ yes

but it's not remotely the same as your actual chocobo

it's just a mount and you can't outfit with bardings

i think you can dye your actual chocobo black though no?

[chrome island]

Oh that’s what I was expecting. And yes pretty sure you can

I was just curious since they got mentioned in MSQ a moment ago, so I wondered if I’d have to do extra steps outside of MSQ to get one, but it appears not

[silent raft]

Can I not learn Black Mage on a free trial account?

[faint flare]

You can

It's thaumaturge

[robust crow]

thaumaturge promotes into black mage at level 30 assuming you are caught up with story

[boreal storm]

Sam, red mage, dance, and gunbreaker are the only nontrial jobs

[flat yew]

can a trial character receive mail?

[boreal storm]

No

[heady linden]

What's the fastest way to lvl MIN/BTN these days from 60+?

[silent raft]

Im lvl 30 thaumaturge and Ive done the previous quest Sylph-management

[flat yew]

ah bummer

[boreal storm]

Do your class quests

[barren granite]

hi. in system configuration, what does movement physics do ?

[silent raft]

Ah yeah I just got a class quest
I thought thats just to continue thaumaturge

[barren granite]

Full // Simple // Off.

[robust crow]

levequests are quite fast, along with GC daily turn ins

HQ turn ins if possible

custom deliveries are also a large boost once per week

[heady linden]

kk, doing the GC turn ins, wasn't sure if Diadem, collectibles, custom deliveries, or leves were the best option after that

[robust crow]

diadem is relatively slow but very braindead

custom deliveries should be done every week while you are leveling

leves are the "powerleveling" option i suppose

[cold river]

custom deliveries?

[hazy drift]

anyway i can know which duty i can enter at which level?

[robust crow]

if you're done with deliveries and GC turn ins and you still want fast XP then you're doing leves

[lapis drift]

Does anyone know how to fix the cross bar controller settings. Im unable to place or remove spells from my cross hotbar. However I am able to move spells into my normal crossbar so that is wierd.

[robust crow]

they're a weekly task you can do once you have a level 60 or higher DoH/DoL

[heady linden]

kk, thanks, I'll probably focus on leves and get out of Diadem, not a fan of the mindless running in circles lol

[cold river]

ah okok makes sense that i have not heard of them. Thank you

[random dune]

So im kinda a newbie and really wanna get relic weapon collection going soon, is the quests from Gerolt in the shroud the way you start them all?

[faint flare]

The wxhb refers to a specific hotbar. You assign skills to that and then it shows on there

[random dune]

and should I start doing em early?

[faint flare]

By default it refers to hotbar 2

[alpine shadow]

try removing it whilst you are in the actions menu, the instructions should show there

[mighty sage]

controller ?

[robust crow]

all the relic weapons are different and unrelated

[random dune]

ahhh

[robust crow]

the ARR series is widely regarded as the worst and most grindiest one

[random dune]

so i dont need the gerolt ones before doing others?

[robust crow]

you do not

[random dune]

okay, good to know

[robust crow]

you only need to do the ARR series if you specifically want the ARR appearance

[random dune]

Gotchaaa

[chrome island]

Is the amount of EXP you get from exploring scaled to your current level? I’ve been exploring the same overall area (Coerthas West), but as a lvl 62 PLD I get 53k EXP, but as level 50 SAM I just get 8.6k EXP.

[robust crow]

also, old relics are not usable as weapons

they are glamours only

[random dune]

so in later expacs does that change?

[robust crow]

it does not

[random dune]

okay cool, so can just focus on the skins i want then?

[robust crow]

HW, StB, and ShB have their own relic questlines that do not relate in any way

[random dune]

fab

[robust crow]

if you finish an ARR relic

you can skip the first step of the HW relic

[lapis drift]

Im currently using the xbox controller

[robust crow]

which really isn't worth it FYI

cuz the first step takes like 30 mins to do

[random dune]

okay cool, thank ya Renault! 😄

[robust crow]

additionally

you need to do all the quests all over again

for every relic you want in ARR and HW

[random dune]

ahh okay

[robust crow]

in StB the system is a little different and subsequent relics after the first are much easier

same with ShB

[random dune]

fab, thanks for the info

[lapis drift]

Is there a way to assign the skills to a specific cross hotbar?

[hoary veldt]

how to switch from mar to war?

[little swift]

finish the job quest to unlock warrior @hoary veldt then equip the job stone to that slot in your character page

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[faint flare]

Change the hotbar to that hotbar

[little swift]

for how to get your job stone

[lapis drift]

Even in from the action menu it doenst allow me

[hoary veldt]

where do i get the job quest?

[obtuse laurel]

I'm sorry another dumb question

[little swift]

from your class trainer is where the first job quest comes from @hoary veldt

[obtuse laurel]

I'm buying a 180 day subscription, why does it charge me 0?

[little swift]

assuming you've met the requirements of the faq

[hoary veldt]

kk ty

[alpine shadow]

from a forum one says "Hold L2 or R2 and press select to edit. Then click on the button, that you want to remove, twice to be ask to delete it from your hotbar."

[lapis drift]

I currently have these hotbars setup.

[faint flare]

Change your hotbae

To hotbar 2

By pressing r1

[lapis drift]

Aye sec

oh

hold on

[faint flare]

Same goes for putting skills on the expanded hotbar

You put skills on hotbar 3

[lapis drift]

@faint flare This was the trick

[alpine shadow]

costs none at checkout, it will begin charge when your sub is about to end.

[lapis drift]

Thank you all ❤️

[atomic stump]

Does anyone know if the critically acclaimed MMO FFXIV can be played on Linux?

[obtuse laurel]

I get 180 days for free and then get charged for it at the end?

[alpine shadow]

no

it will charge for 180 days when your sub renews at that date

[little swift]

you currently have an active sub

[alpine shadow]

or free days?

[little swift]

so when your current sub ends, it charges for what you're purchasing in advance

[leaden ginkgo]

https://gyazo.com/496f40845881c86d07b869862ce35150 can someone explain the difference please?

[obtuse laurel]

I just registered... so I'm assuming after the 30 days free trials... it will charge the $77?

[faint flare]

Soft targetting vs hard targetting

[alpine shadow]

it would, yes

i think.

[leaden ginkgo]

what are their properties?

[faint flare]

Soft targetting changes your target back to your original target after using a skill on it. Unless you confirm the selection

Hard targetting doesn't do that

[obtuse laurel]

Thank you!

[leaden ginkgo]

how do u confirm the selection?

[faint flare]

By pressing X on controller... Fuck knows how on keyboard cause its pretty bad

[alpine shadow]

i would honestly just wait till you are finished the 30 days, then sub to be sure

[leaden ginkgo]

i see, thanks

[little swift]

for clarification, the 30 days aren't part of the free trial. you've registered completely for the full version of the game now, and aren't eligible for the trial any more

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[alpine shadow]

that has faster downloads if you want to use that instead

[obtuse laurel]

I'm sorry... I already did... haha

I should have waited but

oh well

[alpine shadow]

youll get an email notification when you are about to get charged

[obtuse laurel]

I just wish it charged me now and not 180 in the future haha

[alpine shadow]

time cards or crysta would be the thing

can you buy crysta with steam wallet?

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i get to the dungeon? xD i have walked the mountain up but i couldnt find a way

[random girder]

go into the cave

should be on.. 2nd floor? 3rd? of the tower

theres an entrance

[leaden ginkgo]

ouhhhh

thanks

[warm snow]

Through the caves

[leaden ginkgo]

thought there was a entrance in the mountains

[warm snow]

I mean there kinda is

[leaden ginkgo]

found it now

[warm snow]

But it's through the dragon settlment

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah there is a entrance on the top and one beneath it i took the wrong one the first time lol

[worn fog]

im stuck at level 46 and the next msq is level 49 what can i do to level fast ?

[mental nebula]

is it possible to buy game time for 30 days?

[chrome island]

Yup

[robust crow]

have you been doing leveling roulette daily?

if not, run that now and try to run it daily from now on, preferably in another class if you start outleveling msq

after leveling roulette you can spam your highest level dungeon or do palace of the dead

[warm snow]

Your job quests

[worn fog]

can i do the same dungeon twice a day or even more ?

[robust crow]

you should only do leveling roulette once per day

the exp bonus only applies one time

after that you spam your highest level dungeon

or do PotD or another leveling method
