I'm trying to level PLD and have read/been told a load of times to just spam the highest level dungeons I can because I should have super fast queues. But this doesn't seem to be the case. I'm currently sat in a 17m queue for Dzemael. Any advice?

Hi so i just did the dancer quest but for some reason it won't allow me to wield the weapon or use the stone, anyone knows what i'm doing wrong?

Has Square E. ever explained why some scrip and tomestone stores don't have some items even if said store is on higher level content?

leaden ginkgo
honest anvil
#

also what time is it where you are?

oak ice
#

Avg wait time=/=estimated wait time

leaden ginkgo
#

But also yes you're on an EU server so if you enable queueing with other languages you will get much faster queues

left whale
#

feels like that ought be a PSA

leaden ginkgo
#

after reaching rank 25 resistence rank how can i get buffs

left whale

Zadnor is needed for the final relic steps

Hi, quick question for those who play on Elemental (JP DC) - is there any known difference between Carbuncle, Unicorn, and Gungnir (Legacy)? These are the only worlds I'm able to create a trial character on rn.

zinc orbitBOT
#
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
zinc orbitBOT
#
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.

Hi all, I'm super confused by the social aspect of the game, is there 'guilds'? So far if I've had a question in game I just go to a crowded area and /yell lol

faint flare
#

Free companies are guilds

warm snow
near sage
#

ok, so don't do linkshells yet?

junior elk
#

There those too

plush hound
#

Linkshells are player created chat channels.

near sage
#

ohh I see

narrow hazel
# warm snow Also

aye, I'm aware of that. I do have a "main" account that's in ShB after all. I just want to make a low-commitment free trial account, and these three are the only ones I could access rn, and I'm curious if there's anything notable to differentiate the three (Carbuncle, Unicorn, Gungnir) that JP DC players here have heard about.

junior elk

Like my usual crowd we all from different FC so we made a LS

verbal rune
#

Without spoilers, shb removes the job quest in place of role quests?

#

And there is one for tank, dps, healer and ranged dps?

warm snow
#

Tank, healer, caster, physical

#

Melee and ranged get separate role quests in endwalker

verbal rune
#

Ah, so dnc won't do for caster?

glossy flare
#

no, dancer will have the physical dps role quest

How is dancer like how much does it buff allies? Is it noticlable? Just trying to decide what to play tbh :c

#

I like the idea of buffing allies as a support and not so much being healy healer, dancer sounds like a blast as a supportive role

at what level will combat begin to feel more fluid roughly? I am 22 but my warrior still feels sorta clunky

hi guys! is there a way to place a waymark on a specific coordinate using text command?

worn flume

bright forge
#

@indigo mural you partner with another player and give the a decent % bonus to damage when you use Standard Finish, and you'll have a party wide boost to damage later on. You also have a party-wide damage mitigation tool and a small aoe heal that triggers underneath you and your dance partner, it's a small amount but can save a healer an AoE heal cast if they're both stacked up when the party does a stack mechanic.

plush hound
#

Yup. Just remember that dancer's buffs really shine when you work with other players.

bright forge
#

You'll also have a 20% crit hit rate buff for you and your partner for 20 sec, but it's on a 2 minute CD.

Dancer has the most raid buffs in the game

I have very important question to ask.

If I buy the Tales of Adventure: One Ninja's Journey II but I have only rogue at low level, will it transform my rogue to the lvl 70 ninja or do I have to grind rogue first to unlock ninja and then use this item?

nope, will take you straight to ninja

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

#

I cant decide I know you can eventually level everythign but im trying to choose between I think Machinist, Black mage and Dancer

#

Is it possible to buy to unlock dark knight but without skiping story? Is it possible get it at low level?

faint flare
#

No

peak gust
#

Whats the lowest lv you can buy it in?

faint flare
#

50 and get to heavensward

lilac mason
#

you have to make it to heavensward, the NPC giving out the quest is in ishgard

peak gust
#

What if I dont want to skip story

#

Can I replay everything lost with new game plus or something?

faint flare
#

You don't skipit

#

You do the story

peak gust
#

Oh so I just get the class and lv.50 and play as normal then?

faint flare
#

Story Is MANDATORY

peak gust
#

Yeah but I thought it skip me to the point where I unlock the class so then I had to go back somehow.

faint flare
#

No

drifting parcel
#

whisper people on other servers not possible right?

faint flare
#

You can't skip story

peak gust
#

But still lv.50 is high that means I'll destroy the early quests?

faint flare
#

Not without paying

peak gust
#

I dont want to skip anything but just unlock the class I like but I also dont want story content trivialized

faint flare
#

Heavensward story starts at 50

bright forge
#

Basically, you play through the MSQ until you hit Heavensward, then you can do the quest to unlock Dark Knight, which you then level up from 30.

faint flare
#

And dark knight starts at 30 after unlocking

#

The story is linear

peak gust
#

If I pay to get dark knight I start at what lv 30?

marsh ferry
#

When can I change my class to real class? Rn i'm Conjurer lv16

zinc orbitBOT
#
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
peak gust
#

Wow

#

Thats too high

faint flare
#

Boosting is for alts

#

Not first timers

peak gust
#

I dont want to be so overleveled

faint flare
#

Then do the story and level normally

peak gust
#

No choice then

modest igloo
#

Then you swap to DRK when you pick it up

#

But leveling other classes is part of the fun

peak gust
#

Yeah but playing with a job you dont like could be like having a job you dont like in real life? How many hours must I work?

modest igloo
#

Itโ€™s about 80 hours of msq until heavensward?

bright forge
#

Plus, you might find you like the other jobs you level and end up not liking Dark Knight when you unlock it. You'll never know until you actually start playing for real.

Also what if you donโ€™t like dark knight

you have to know how to manage aggro/mitigation

Oh so not a big tank

fast talon

and not kill your team

#

there is no big or small tank, a tank is a tank, its a specific role

hard aurora
#

@peak gust every class can dps is what we're saying

#

a tank, is a tank

fast talon
#

say you enter a dungeon, every dungeon will have one tank and a dark knight will fill that role

modest igloo
#

Healers are DPS who have to babysit the party

fast talon
#

you'll be expected to lead the party through the dungeon and make sure the enemies are focused on you

bright forge
#

Basically, every job is expected to be able to do damage (even healers) but the role it fills is that of a Tank.

fast talon
#

case in point, while both tanks and healers still do DPS, its still a far cry from how much damage a real DPS does

peak gust
#

I never been a tank before in mmo. This might turn out bad.

but youre still expected to push your buttons

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

The closest thing to a meta we have, is some groups preferring to have a Red Mage/Summoner for having an extra job that can raise during blind progression for Ultimate and Savage raids, but even that isn't required by most groups since they'd rather you be on a job you know.

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".

Like what vinyl tails mentioned, learn your job rotation, push buttons, ddo the mechs. You're good to go

No. NG+ is for reliving the story, nothing else.

You could just new game plus to replay story

#

But you get no xp

From the quests

What will I be missing? I wont need xp since they giving me high lv anyways

Don't be too fixated on 1 job is my recommendation

#

You're given the freedom to use every job

MCH starts at 30 like drk

Mainly about story I miss and important stuff

Also I would like to not 1 shot everything

Has to have some challenge dont want to do it if I feel like overleveled

faint flare
#

Levels don't mean much

#

Gear matters more

low sun
#

Dungeons and scripted story encounters will scale you down if you are too high level, that said the story stuff isn't really very challenging in general

peak gust
#

Ok so Vinyl I can do new game plus then and I dont miss anything?

faint flare
#

It's hard to one shot stuff unless you're EXTREMELY overlevelled and geared

#

NG+ let's you replay story yes

peak gust
#

Replay I assume it scales?

faint flare
#

No

peak gust
#

So I will destroy everything?

upper cove
#

You're still gonna be overlevelled for overworld stuff if you skip

low sun
#

Skipping story to then play New Game+ seems a bit weird, way better to have the more natural progression

upper cove
#

Dungeons and instances you get level synced

#

@peak gust maybe try out archer first, and switch to mch later if you're into ranged dps

peak gust
#

I guess no choice then

upper cove
#

Its quite a waste of money honestly and your experienced will be skewed i guess

#

If not wanting to be overpowered is your concern

I come from wow and the story here is much better like this feels more like a final fantasy game first and mmo second so I wouldnt buy skip

low sun
#

There are also a lot of unlock-quests for new dungeons, game mechanics etc you get on the way, idk if skipping gives them to you automatically but I feel it's better to get them while doing the story, so you dont get dumped with 500 unlock quests at once

peak gust
#

@gentle arrow Point was I could use new game plus to still get same story

#

But then the overleveled part ruins it so whatever I must be an archer for a week

#

Thanks for all the help

upper cove
#

@peak gust maybe look into other jobs and make a better informed decision

peak gust
#

I seen videos mainly

upper cove
#

It just seems to me that for you a 'wrong' job will give you a bad experience

peak gust
#

But im very picky

upper cove
#

As someone who played through every single job on the free trial to max, every job is fun

solar wyvern
#

i dont know where i can find my main quest, i dont have one active at the moment
is that intentional or am i missing something? (im level 16-18)

upper cove
#

Should be on the top left of your screen

ancient flint
#

quick Q - just did Cape Westwind trial for the first time (WHM) - I play on ~200MS from Australia, it felt impossible to get out of the AoE attack in time?

#

is that normal?

faint flare
#

You need to move out basically the moment you see it

ancient flint
#

ah okay

#

I felt like I did but must have just missed it ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

noticed the second time there was a warning message that he was charging it up and moved as soon as that came up instead seemed to work

#

but idk if that warning message was just a duty finder perk slowing the mechanic down the 2nd run?

solar wyvern
stray carbon
#

question, how fast do blm high sps cast times look like with the high sps build? like how long would i be casting stuff like fire iv and thunder iii, etc

peak gust
#

@faint flare What would be fastest way unlock mch? Just spam main story quests?

upper cove
#

@peak gust same deal as drk and ast

@solar wyvern no worries! It happens

What's the quickest/shortest dungeon to run for loot (to trade into GC seals)? I'm level 50

upper cove
#

@solar wyvern just in case, any available job quests also appears right below the msq on the same tracker

upper cove
#

Remember to do those as you get them

peak gust
#

Dont have to be archer I assume its because its range dps thats recommended?

faint flare
#

Any job

hard aurora
#

just be a combat class

plush hound
faint flare
#

Though archer shares gear with machinist so you'll have gear ready for it through the levels

#

But doesn't have to be

leaden ginkgo
upper cove
#

You'll definitely be at lvl 50 anyways when you reach heavenswaed

What are some of the best settings to turn down to improve benchmark scores specifically in the old sharlayan section. I keep improving my score in the other sections but I can't get that chunk to budge much

ebon yew
#

Best server to be on for a old mmorpg player but new ffxiv?

faint flare
#

Any

#

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT
#
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
faint flare
#

Server doesn't matter

ebon yew
#

Got it! Thanks.

amber yarrow
#

quick question

#

when a server is full

#

how long do you have to wait for the restriction to be lifted?

manic schooner
#

hey guys, how is it that i see some summoners use ifrit pet abilities but the pet thats actually out is carbuncle. is there a pet transmog?

faint flare
#

!faq serverlock

zinc orbitBOT
#
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.

upper cove

@manic schooner yes there is

manic schooner
#

ohh interesting

#

and u also need glam prism for that?

amber yarrow
#

faint flare
#

Nope

manic schooner
#

nothing else?

upper cove

Nope!

faint flare

Just a chat command

The game tells you how to search up the commands too when you unlock the feature

flat ridge
#

so where would be the level 60 version of this? or rather, how/what do i farm for the level 60 and 70 versions later.
the same currency as i was already doing now?>

pulsar escarp
#

do commerical survival manual exp boosts work on leves and stuff?

flat ridge
#

i'd like to do dailies for these, and then just continue the main story quests

pulsar escarp
#

or I guess just gathering

faint flare
flat ridge
#

do i just continue doing the dailies?

ancient flint
#

at what point should I stop using spells like Cure & Medica in favour of their rank II spell as the minimum?

upper cove
#

As soon as you get them

ancient flint
#

assuming at some point it'll just not be worth fishing for the free cure II anymore for example

flat ridge
#

or do i need an alternative currency aside from those black tokens

faint flare
ancient flint
#

oh right

#

been trying to min/max mana by casting lower ones haha

upper cove
#

Ah yes medica is different

flat ridge
#

do i just keep collecting those until level 70?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Poetics are the old Content currency

flat ridge
faint flare
#

Yes

ancient flint
#

so the mana is sustainable still casting just Cure 3s as needed?

faint flare
#

When endwalker hits, our curre t tome gear will be buyable with poetics

flat ridge
#

i see. so i just do dailies etc. thanks

faint flare
#

Cure 3 isn't an upgrade of cure 2

ancient flint
#

sorry, should've said 2

opal swan
#

Do dancers have special dance emotes other than the normal dance?

faint flare
#

But yes, using lucid on Cooldown covers all your mana

raven sage
#

As long as everything is going normally, you can safely use cure 2 without mana worries

ancient flint
#

sweet

faint flare
flat ridge
#

well, not spam cure 2, right?

opal swan
#

:(

ancient flint
#

so essentially when I've got Cure III stop using Medica

faint flare
#

No

raven sage
#

no

faint flare
#

Cure 3 is smaller range and more mana

flat ridge
#

you still preferably use cure 1 i'd assume

faint flare
#

No

#

Cure 1 is garbage

flat ridge
#

though i suppose it does take time

raven sage
#

forget about cure 1 unless you're synced down

faint flare
#

It's trashed the moment you get cure 2

#

And are available to use it

plush hound
#

Medica is a HoT, Cure III is a straight heal.

faint flare
#

Medica 2*

raven sage
#

medica 2 is a hot

faint flare
#

Medica 1 is straight heal

#

Cure 3 is bigger heal, but smaller aoe range

untold path
#

hey guys, when I entered pvp location (quest) I saw that all combo was on 1 hotkey, how do I do that?

faint flare
#

Useful for stack mechanics and Cure bombing the group for heal checks

untold path
#

oh so it's only pvp thing?

flat ridge
#

not sure how you are supposed to not go oom on an heavy-pulling tank on like level 32, when you only have lucid dreaming basically

faint flare
#

Yes

ancient flint
#

yeh I'm talking about Medica vs Cure 3

untold path
#

damn, that looked so usefull, so much free hotkeys

faint flare
#

Medica is bigger range and cost less mana and used more often

gentle arrow
#

is it normal that healers always have insta queue? normally in other games its tanks?

faint flare
#

Since people want to stay in africa

raven sage
#

The only reason you would be going oom is if the tank is taking more damage than they should/dps isn't killing fast enough

ancient flint
#

ahh right

faint flare
raven sage
#

Otherwise you're just overhealing

flat ridge
#

tanks are fastest, healer pretty good too

fierce tendon
#

If I use class boost book thingy, can I still somehow get coffers from class quests that were skipped?

flat ridge
#

level 32 "killing fast enough" is kinda meh

untold path
#

what would you say is easier for new players dps tank or heal ?

flat ridge
#

dps

depends on your mmo experience though

k ty

faint flare
#

Kind of yes, you need to pass slyph management

#

To get your job upgrade

flat ridge
#

as dps early on, you just press damage spells. and you step out of the orange (fairly slow) indicators.
so DPS is as straight forward as it possibly gets @untold path

well i gues im stuck, i cant compelte this alliance raid..

untold path

@untold path tank is a comparatively more advanced.... but still very straight forward.
healer.... well... early on nobody cares if you are a 24/7 heal bot with 0 dps either.

so you are fine with anything. just play what looks cool and fun to you

how do you login to the ffxiv benchmark? and is there a way to make it fullscreen?

@leaden ginkgo ah then you shouldn't have an issue buying the complete edition unless you already own starter or shadowbringer for some reason

so im playing a gladiator atm and its 29. what happens if i dont do the 30 paladin quest and continue to earn xp with glad? will i start the paladin as 1 or the level that i was on my glad? same question goes for the dark knight. what will happen when i do the quest at 50? thanks in advance. cheers!

faint flare

Paladin IS gladiator

gentle arrow
#

are there weapons that are really rare like less than 1% of players have it? or is everything sorta easily obtainable in endgame

faint flare

However dark knight is a different job

As that's the ultra high end of high end content

oak gyro

so my glad job level will carry to paladin level

Yes

#

Gladiator is just a baby paladin

but for dark knight it will go to level 1 like when i equip my pickaxe as miner?

Hi Everyone, I'm another one of the Dirty wow Converts, I'm about level 21, Can i ask, Do i have to do all the quests in each place? or can i just do the main story line quests and Archery quests.

twilit arch

you can focus on the main scenario quest and your class/job quests

rotund shoal
#

Fellow wow refugee
YOu dont have to do every quest in areas

twilit arch
#

bluequest are also strongly recommended to do as they unlock content (barring "So you want to be x" as these are class/job unlocks, and "Leves of X", these are leve unlocks and aren't really good for combat jobs)

sidequest are largely there for lore/world building

#

and don't really give that great of xp

rotund shoal
#

YOu dye them once you apply them to a plate

twilit arch

Dresser does not

plush hound
twilit arch
#

remove dyes

rotund shoal
#

No?

twilit arch
#

armoire does

rotund shoal
#

AHH

#

I mixed them sorry q.p

warm snow
dry leaf
#

so the 30% buff would only make a difference from dungeon mobs? and Levemete/Fate for 2nd job?

twilit arch
#

That said, the earring is really nice for dungeons

dry leaf
#

in reality?

twilit arch
#

since the bulk of your exp in those are coming from mob kills

bright forge
#

bosses give big chunks of exp, so it makes it an even bigger chunk.

#

Hello. Where can i get the Veteran rewards ? How to pick them up in game ?

dry leaf
#

makes sense

twilit arch
#

veteran rewards are mailed to you

#

talk to a mail moogle in any of the major cities

flat yew
#

is it hard to make a character on a world the game currently deems too full?

lyric tulip
#

Alright guys. I know im going to get mixed messages here but should I buy ARR MSQ skip?

bright forge
#

Nah, you just have to wait until after peek hours when most people are either asleep or at work.

#

Thank you

tropic summit
#

This is BLM fire phase rotation I'm looking at. I'm at zero MP after Despair so am I supposed to use Transpose after? Or am I missing something and not supposed to have no MP?

ashen kite
#

So I have the game up to Strom bringer am I allowed to to storm ringer gear raif content after I reach 80 or do I have to do all msq to be able to

#

Cause I really want to get that neir costume

twilit arch
#

you mean shadowbringers, and you can do the nier raids once you finish 5.0 main scenario quest

#

don't need to do post shadowbringers msq

hey everyone, i want to play ff14 again but i forgot my password. i asked to send a mail but then they send me a mail with a link where i have to login again(?!). can someone help me?

dusty terrace
#

assuming...? And if i can't afford to overmeld it, there is something better?

cloud badger
#

Not sure if it's me but I'm playing astrologian and when I draw a card and try to convert it to king or queen of crowns (or w/e they called) but it just doesn't work. I end up with no card to play. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong.

twilit arch
#

if you're not willing/can't overmeld it then you should use handsaint

brittle valve
#

how do i start eden 5 quest? im just done with eden gate sepulture, not sure where to go now

twilit arch
cloud badger
#

I hit the skill to convert it but I wind up with nothing on the play button. It's so weird.

raven sage
#

it's all one button now

cloud badger
#

Level 59 Astro

raven sage
#

You don't convert then play

cloud badger
#

Oh?

twilit arch
#

You don't convert the card, you hit minor arcana to play it

dusty terrace
#

where can i get my hands on handsaint set?

cloud badger
#

OH

twilit arch
#

so ya sounds like you are playing it on yourself

cloud badger
#

lmao!

#

Well that solves that!

Thank you!

i'm fresh lvl 80 crafter, and didn't finish shb yet, so stupid question, but can i get white scrips yet?

twilit arch
#

I think so long as you've unlocked the eulmore house of splendors should be able to

dusty terrace
#

i think i'm too early in the story...

#

oh welp

#

i'm at lvl 73 msq quests

twilit arch
#

should be able to unlock it

#

"The Boutique Always Wins" is the quest name

dusty terrace
#

last time i went to Eulmore we ||pissed off the fat guy|| and i wasn't even able to attune to aetherite...

twilit arch
#

yeah the aetheryte attunement is a lot later

#

but eulmore house of splendors can be unlocked earlier. Just need to complete the msq "City of Final Pleasures"

#

which is lvl 70

#

but you also have to have done the side quest "Go West, Craftsman"

bright quartz
#

how do i access my minions? just got the airship

twilit arch
#

so if you don't see the first quest i mentioned, might wanna check mor dhona for the "go west, craftsman" one

bright quartz
#

but i cant find it?

cunning loom
#

minion guide

twilit arch
#

if you used the item, it'll be in your minion guide

#

character button on bottom right of your screen

#

dusty terrace
#

i think i did Go West already... i guess imma try going to Eulemore again soon

bright quartz
#

ah didnt know i had to use it makes sense now cheers

I unlocked flying in ARR, is flying faster speed than ground? (outside the obvious ability to ignore terrain)

Pretty new to the game, I'm a level 25 Arcanist. Do I need to finish all my class quests to unlock a job?

#

Oh about the story is it ok to skim/skip realm reborn story?

#

I care about all the other expansion since I heard good things about them

#

But realm reborn gameplay seems fun so I kinda keep skipping it

dull valley
#

is there a colored loot rarity heirarchy? If so what is it?

ashen kite
#

Will I still understand heavensward story

Skimming is fine,

cunning loom
#

as long as you get the main context of the story it's fine

#

and once you get invested in the characters it's really nice playing through the expansions and seeing character development

twilit arch
broken cairn
#

do the Angel Wings normally go on discount during the Make It Rain event?

twilit arch
#

angel wings are new so its never been part of make it rain

broken cairn
#

ah, thanks

cunning loom
#

note that angel wings disappear as soon as you enter combat

twilit arch
#

but looking at garland, no they're not going to be discounted this make it rain

clever ether
#

Is it possible to use 1h at max level as WHM?

twilit arch
#

no

clever ether
#

I like the aestethics of 1h/shield over staff

twilit arch
#

1h stop being a thing after 50

clever ether
#

This makes me glam sad ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

And you cant glam staff to 1h?

faint flare
#

Nope

clever ether
#

Im crying so much in glam rn

broken cairn
#

How do i actually put my angel wings on

faint flare

Under fashion accessories

I'm level 65, so can I purchase a lvl 80 piece of gear and turn it into glamour?

#

And then where that piece...or do I need to be same level

rotund shoal
#

Not until that piece of armor is level 80 aswell

boreal storm
#

Yes but you wonโ€™t be able to use it

#

As glam yet

rotund shoal
#

but you can put it in the dresser

Hi all, I'm new to this game. I have watched some videos on which classes are recommended for beginners and so far the gladiator, archer and thaumaturge have been recommended the most and seem fun to me as well. Are these classes indeed good for beginners?

blissful talon
#

i try to play the game again from a big break and wana play mch anyone have a decent hotbar :0

dull valley
#

what does the quest marker with the plus sign mean?

faint flare
#

!faq questicons

zinc orbitBOT
#
What do all these quest icons mean?

msq - These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
bluequest - 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
sidequest - 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
repeatquest - These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

dull valley
#

thanks!

livid basin
#

How do I abandon leve quests? My quest journal is full and I can't accept any new quests because of all these leve quests.

karmic lagoon
#

Thanks all

livid basin
#

there is no abandon button either

#

and they are at the top as well

faint flare
#

You need to fail it

#

That isn't a leve quest

#

Leves of X aren't leves

#

Leves themselves go at the bottom

tardy hollow
#

is it rude to make a party finder asking for people who havent done bahamut to get the newcomer poetic bonus lmao

livid basin
#

I want to get rid of the "Leves of X" quests

tardy tangle
#

so, is repairing equipment recommended if you don't have the skill for it?

faint flare
#

Then just go do it's leve

#

Which is again at the bottom

livid basin
#

I don't even know where cause when you click "map" it always ays unable to open map at this time

faint flare
#

Scroll down

#

To the bottom of your journal

#

That's the leve it's asking you to do

livid basin
#

how do I know which leve at the bottom corresponds to the "leves of x" at the top?

faint flare
#

Click the map on that leve

cunning loom
#

depends on where that leve is located normally

boreal storm
#

Doesnโ€™t the leve also have a lvl listed

dull valley
#

Someone told me last night to get enough poetics for a weapon asap once I finish ARR, is this the right one for warrior?

livid basin
#

there are several leves at the bottom for lvl 30 but only 2 at the top for Leves of X.....

livid basin
#

man this sucks. Just wanted to do some quests...

faint flare
#

Ironworks is what you want

lilac flume
#

do you need to unlock all logos actions to unlock the elemental armor? a reddit thread i found said 50 but i have that and still nothing

faint flare
#

50 actions

#

And 1 pagos relic done

dull valley
#

@faint flare thanks!

lilac flume
#

ah that'd be why

#

ill have to go do that then

upper yew
#

do poetics reset every week ? i see some countdown and i wonder if i need to spend them

boreal storm
#

No

#

Thatโ€™s for the lvl 80 tomestones

south tree
#

do i ultimately need to complete the base game main story line even if i ding 50 long before finishing it?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Story Is MANDATORY

south tree
#

ah okay, i assume it unlocks stuff

faint flare
#

It unlocks The entire game

south tree
#

xD

faint flare
#

Your level means nothing

#

Without story progress

boreal storm
#

Itโ€™s why buying story skip without a lvl skip and vice versa isnโ€™t that smart
