[pearl wharf]

[slate arrow]

no clue! maybe?

[iron mirage]

awwww

I was trying to get an anole egg for this quest, and a fate started where a boss anole spawned and killed me D:

I dunno how to get the egg

I keep aggroing anoles

[celest snow]

so i payed achievement points to a guy in old gridania to get cool chocobo gear and other mounts. are there more guys like him in other expansions that sell other types of chocobo gear or is he the only one?

[heavy jewel]

how do i use one of my equipment for glamour non are showing up in my gear selection in glamour dresser?

[crimson gale]

hey guys, so I think I bought the collectors edition for EW, but im not sure if I did idk why I cant find it anywhere, I see I have the early access but no circle on the collectors, but Im 99% sure i bought collectors, anybody else has this "issue"?

[heavy jewel]

only shows season or artifact selection not my armoury

[fading helm]

is the ||aetherochemical research facility|| a long dungeon?

[knotty lily]

The housing item? I'm gonna go with "No"

[slate arrow]

there's only one achivement point vendor

[celest snow]

:(

[slate arrow]

collectors isn't out yet

[pearl wharf]

damn

[slate arrow]

yes

[celest snow]

too bad. wanted to get some cool chocobo barding

[fading helm]

got it

[celest snow]

guess i'll have to look it up

[fading helm]

the market boardd

has a bunch of cool bardings

[celest snow]

expensive i guess

[fading helm]

nah

a lot are cheap

[celest snow]

oh?

nice

[fading helm]

like 1k-50k gil

[slate arrow]

most of the cool bardings are crafted with a rare drop from extreme trials or bought/randomly obtained from specific content

[celest snow]

gonna look at a video that shows all of them

[fading helm]

do u have access to the market board?

or are u free trial

[celest snow]

a guy gave me the titania barding. how is that made?

[crimson gale]

yeah i know that but what I mean is, it doesnt even appear in my payment options, not even the normal EW but it still says i have the early access, im 100% sure i bought it and i have the preorder items in game just confused as to why its not even appearing in my payment history nor email idk lol

[celest snow]

i have access.

[fading helm]

o ok

yeah if u write barding into the search

a bunch will pop up

[slate arrow]

because you literally haven't been charged for it

[celest snow]

will do! thank you!

[slate arrow]

you won't be charged until the code actually ships

that's what the EA code is for

[fading helm]

if u pre order end walker u dont get charged now?

[slate arrow]

no

[fading helm]

O

i didnt know that lol

[crimson gale]

well thats just weird lol

i got the preorder items but not the payment? huh

[slate arrow]

it's mainly a legacy system so that physical and digital orders have access parity

but since FFXIV is now a digital only purchase it's just this way just because

[fading helm]

i want that exp earring

[crimson gale]

u get it anyways lol

i have all the preorder items but it seems i wasnt charged

[fading helm]

wdym u get it anyways

[crimson gale]

till the day it comes out

[serene dune]

So my friends account has been inactive for a few weeks prior to this free login announcement. But i dont think its been 30 days for him yet. Do you need to have been inactive for 30 days prior to July 9th? Or can you wait until your accounts inactivity reaches 30 days within the login campeign period?

[slate arrow]

pre-ordering automatically grants you the EA code

[slate arrow]

before the login campaign expires

[strong pond]

Anyone else getting "unable to load character data" on adamantoise?

[crimson gale]

i have the earring, preorder items, without being charged lol, i mean i prefer to be charged right away but w.e

[fading helm]

yes a lot of people are getting it

[serene dune]

ooo nice.

[fading helm]

yeah uy get the items now, u dont get charged until it releases

[strong pond]

Something going on today? server queue is crazy full lmao

[random girder]

its been going for a while

[fading helm]

yeah same it was like 400 players for me

[random girder]

game is just really big right now

and servers arent used to it

[strong pond]

I only had like a 14 person queue yesterday xP

[knotty lily]

WoW exodus brings more every day, seems like!

[strong pond]

I mean i'm down for it, WoW exodus was what got me into it

[fading helm]

u get the earrings with any pre order of endwalker right

not just the collectors

[slate arrow]

Correct

It's a pre order bonus

[celest snow]

how come the titania barding goes up for about 900k on the market?

[fading helm]

and u get charged when the early endwalker access comes out right?

[cunning loom]

check other worlds' markets

not right now though

[knotty lily]

Not many people farming Titania these days, its fairly old content. It is easier now, tho

[cunning loom]

i'd assume people still farm her for the mount since the droprate wasn't buffed

[slate arrow]

Because right now Ishgard has made access to previous expansion trial rare drops really easy to obtain

[celest snow]

ok. most expensive barding i've seen so far

[fading helm]

for me most expensive barding ive seen is 50 mil gil

[celest snow]

oh

what's it called?

[fading helm]

let me check

starlight barding

it might jsut be a random dude who put it up for expensive

[atomic jetty]

Is farming mobs or lvl 60 dungeons better for farming bitter memories?

[fading helm]

and hes the only listing lol

because its a pretty lame barding

[celest snow]

looks pretty boring :/

[fading helm]

check out the hive barding

[celest snow]

paramour goes up for 25 mil

[fading helm]

that one looks really cool and is cheap

[cunning loom]

yeah all event exclusive bardings will be unreasonably expensive

[celest snow]

yo, hive barding looks pretty damn cool ngl

[fading helm]

yep

hades barding is awesome too

[leaden ginkgo]

That's the one where you only need 6 right?

[plush hound]

Starlight and paramour were limited ones from the Christmas event and Valentines Event respectively. Hence the cost.

[atomic jetty]

@leaden ginkgo yeah

[fading helm]

Expanse barding looks nice with Paladin and is also cheap

[leaden ginkgo]

Run antitower and you'll have it super fast

[plush hound]

dungeons really. Antitower has been clocked at about 10 mins.

[celest snow]

hades looks pretty cool. looking for the nidhogg barding

[fading helm]

do i pre order endwalker from suqare site

or from mog statin

[celest snow]

is it even worth buying expensive bardings like suzaku barding?

[leaden ginkgo]

Depends, if you put value on what your chocobo looks like then yes it is

[knotty lily]

I mean, its up to you and what you feel like spending your gil on in this game, some people really care about swag and others are into housing/decorations, or buying and melding the best crafter gear. Everybodys gotta have a "Thing", whats your "thing"? 🤣

[celest snow]

guessing it's pretty grindy to level up goldsmith to lvl 80

[open spire]

Hey everyone. I am wearing the lvl 60 Augmented Miners/Botanists equipment you get from the blue scrips in Idyllshire. However my BTN/MIN lvs are now 71-72. Is there a lvl 70 set that you can get somewhere?

[celest snow]

i like most of the things this game has to offer. the only problem is that i get easily overwhelmed by all of it xd

[dull valley]

Is there a direct connection between this game and any of the other FF games or just some cosmetic connections?

[knotty lily]

Rhalgrs Reach would be the place to look and see what they have for Scrips! (BUt also market board, of course)

[celest snow]

well, thanks for the help. now it's time for me to sleep. gn all!

[knotty lily]

Somewhat direct. Bosses and locations from other games (FF2, 4, 5, 6, recently 8... plus all the Primals you know and love)
And some crossover events even. With 11, 13, 15 believe it or not

[plush hound]

Most is just nostalgic eye-candy. There are more direct links to FFT and FFXII though.

[knotty lily]

If you mean any real connection like 13 and 13-2 have though, not so much - its its own universe, it just calls to the other games for the most part

[dull valley]

By direct i mean, an actual in game story connection like sharing the same world in canon or what

[boreal storm]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

All Final Fantasy games stand on their own in general, unless it's directly specified it's a sequel. There are references to other games for the fans to enjoy

[boreal storm]

Eorzea is its own deal

[plush hound]

dunno. IT's the first time since the changes to the trial that the event has come up.

[leaden ginkgo]

can we put glamour on the retainers?

i want my retainer in a bikini

[fast talon]

im fairly sure the armor you give them will be reflected, including if they're glamoured or not

[leaden ginkgo]

cool

thanks!

[knotty lily]

Absolutely you can, and they wont even question it

[fading helm]

where in mog station do i put my endwalker activation code?

for the earrings

[fast talon]

should be in account services? i think

i'll just link it i guess https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&la=1&kid=78779&ret=main

[jade quartz]

Entirely cosmetic/referential, others who answered seem to be under a misapprehension

This game does not share a universe with any other final fantasy game.

There are locations and characters and things which resemble things from other games but they are not literally the same thing. Entirely seperate world.

[leaden ginkgo]

D:<

[jade quartz]

This has been reconfirmed multiple times by devs and is also just obvious upon close inspection.

[slate arrow]

there's some... "questionably" canon stuff, like every single FF crossover event

[leaden ginkgo]

Crossovers seem to be in a bubble where they're not part of the canon

[slate arrow]

but it's just as canon as Dissidia is canon

[jade quartz]

Yeah special limited-time crossover events have happened with FFXI, FFXIII and FFXV

With the explanation invariably being “I fell through an interdimensional portal!” or some such thing

Never impacts the world in a wider way though

[leaden ginkgo]

They're big lipped alligator moments

[slate arrow]

it's just "well, that was an interesting sidestory"

[river wagon]

anybody knows how to get to Mor dhona

?

[halcyon oyster]

Is there a way to turn the 120 Ironworks gear into 130 gear?

[fast talon]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/w/images/thumb/e/e0/Mor_Dhona_cropped.png/790px-Mor_Dhona_cropped.png heres the map for it

it has two entrances, one in north thanalan and ond in coerthas and i dont remember what the game expects you to take

[vestal magnet]

hi guys, does anyone know the cause of the very loud random menu noises when playing the game?

[leaden ginkgo]

As someone that MT's Hades EX for fun, how painful is SoS EX?

[knotty lily]

Yes, Hyrstmill (North Shroud*)- it will take some extra items you buy from the Mor Dhona vendor I think.

[fast talon]

is it still possible to get ironworks gear these days, i thought they all came augmented already

[plush hound]

Corethas

[knotty lily]

They mightve had it from before the vendor change, yeah they do come Aug'd now

[fast talon]

that makes sense

[halcyon oyster]

Yea, I had it from before.

[sage mirage]

Can someone link the alt leveling guide?

[knotty lily]

About the same, I quite like SoS EX its my favourite one to tank. Might be a bit easier if you think that the mechanics rely more on the entire party as a whole and a bit less on just you

ty

[dull tree]

does DRK want the custodian, conservator, or pankratiast's style jewelry from the shire set?

[leaden ginkgo]

Custodian.

[knotty lily]

Custodian, for sure - all pieces

[quick fern]

Quick question: for positionals, is it my position at the start of the animation, when I press the button that matters? Or is it at the end of the animation when my hit lands and there's a floating damage number?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes.

[knotty lily]

Snapshotted, so when you press the button exactly

[dull tree]

may i ask why for future reference?

[quick fern]

Thank you.

[leaden ginkgo]

Look at the stats of Fending armor, then look at the stats of the accessories you're about to buy.

[knotty lily]

DRKs main stat is VIT, full VIT. If you check the chest piece you'll see that Custodian is for tanks, as well.

[plush hound]

IF you look at the gear, it will tell you what jobs can equip it.

[marble dew]

so just started. lvl 15 PUG and i was wondering, i wanna try a Lancer out but am i able to switch classes in a different area?

[dull tree]

it says all classes can equip it

[knotty lily]

Just a note that AFTER Heavensward, they fixed the problem - theres no confusion and only tanks can wear Tank accessories. It was a problem in Heavensward and before.

[fast talon]

if you continue the MSQ you'll eventually travel to the other cities

and from there you can pick up the other starting classes

[plush hound]

Oh right, Jewelry. Sorry.

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh, and some stats are absolutely useless as a tank. Get the right accessories or you might as well be a freestyle SAM.

[dull valley]

where is the crystal tower quests? I did a few but it dropped off my MSQ tracker and now I cant find them again

[rugged flicker]

What exactly is the point of item-related lost finds only being usable by the class that doesn't need them?

[marble dew]

@fast talon so just stick with it til i get to that lancer area? cool. and also is there ever a chance to change race in game or is that only purchasable through mogstation? i made a Au'Ra and ehhh lol

[rugged flicker]

Like healers only being able to use potions that increase damage and DPS and tanks only being able to use potions that increase healing?

[fast talon]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Crystal_Tower_Quests these are the quests if you remember the last one you did

[dull valley]

thanks

[fast talon]

once you finish the base game (ARR) you get one fantasia for free to recreate your character

[marble dew]

sweet

[plush hound]

usually to fill in a weakness or enhance a strength.

[rugged flicker]

Huh?

[dull tree]

i'm confused i'm just trying to figure out why i should buy the custodian jewelry over the pankratiast's over the conservator's. i know that the armor can be equipped only by tanks

[knotty lily]

(After the first one, you have to pay - 10 bucks per. There is a barbershop for changing hairstyle/colour and tattoo ingame tho)

[dull tree]

oh the armor itself says custodian

[marble dew]

ah also good to know. i considered just starting over with the preferred class/race since im not far but Midgardsormr isnt too easy to get a new toon created on rn

[knotty lily]

Yeah a Tanks Damage Scaled off Vitality - the Pakriasts accessory has like Strength or Dexterity or something, and these are useless for DRK.

[fast talon]

admittedly i did not know a tank's damage scaled of vitality, i just figure tanks need vit more than any other job

[desert night]

Are there some content like Duties that are missable?

[plush hound]

Well given the examples you give, Healers have lost buffs that can boost their damage as well as equip lost abilities that do really good damage. And tanks can use for example Lost Cure abilities that are boosted by the items.

[fast talon]

nothing that you'll be locked out of forever, outside of holiday events you can go back and unlock pretty much everything

[desert night]

Okay, good to know.

[knotty lily]

It didnt used to scale off VIT, but it got to be too confusing. So they brought the hammer down and made it VIT-only!
And like I said, later on all gear and accessories will be explicitly for tank, no confusion.

[celest inlet]

Are most of the furnitures made by carpenter in this game?

[knotty lily]

Not at all, each crafting job has some number here and there. Maybe CRP has more but there are still plenty of others shared

[dull tree]

all of the jewelry has the same VIT on it

[shrewd prism]

what's the best way to get enough seals for the flame chocobo Issuance?

[plush hound]

But basically, the Lost items and abilities are meant to allow any job to serve any role in the Bozjan content to a surprisingly high degree.

[celest inlet]

thx

[quick fern]

So, if positionals are snapped at button press, it means that while fighting mob 1v1 I can get to their side and back and snapshot my positional before they can rotate to face me?

[brittle valve]

does edenmorn and cryptlurker armor have the same stats? are they the best armor in the game in terms of stats?

[polar badge]

I'm at the Singing Cluster step for Anima. Since its almost the weekly reset, can I take the quest now and turn it in later then immediately take up a new one or not?

[leaden ginkgo]

Odds are you can sel the gear for more than the gold offered, but its also nice to have a set ready for a class you KNOW you'll wanna level later.

[fast talon]

your call to make, tho gil is hardly an issue down the line

[polar badge]

Edenmorn and Cryptlurker has different substats, BiS will be a combination of both

[barren valve]

I am attempting to unlock leve quests for maelstrom in limsa. This guide says it should be here to start it, but I am not seeing the NPC quest marker for it

[plush hound]

You should be given enough from the previous quest.

[shrewd prism]

@plush hound yeah just noticed LOL

[brittle valve]

@polar badge what's BiS?

[jade quartz]

A tank’s damage scales entirely off STR @knotty lily

Not vitality.

[naive ridge]

Best in Slot

[polar badge]

best in slot, it means the best gear available.

[jade quartz]

Vitality = maximum HP and that is all.

[plush hound]

Don't feel too bad. It was set up to offset from before a change where we had to earn 2k seals for it.

[jade quartz]

There was a period where it scaled off both VIT and STR in tandem, but no longer.

Strength only.

[dull tree]

and all of the jewelry im looking at has the same VIT

[marble dew]

when chatting in game whats the difference in who hears what with say/yell/shout?

[dull tree]

they have different stats like DEX, STR, Skill speed, but i dont know which one is better for DRK

i just wanted to know before i spent the tomes

[jade quartz]

Up until level 60 you can basically use tank jewellery or melee jewellery interchangeably

[jade quartz]

STR

As I was saying, tank damage scales off STR; VIT does not affect it @dull tree

[dull tree]

gotcha

[jade quartz]

Wes was mistaken in his answer earlier

[dull tree]

is DET useless for tanks?

[jade quartz]

No but it is a sub-stat

Also called a secondary attribute

Its effects are minor compared to Main stats, i.e. strength in your case

[hard parrot]

Heyo, how can I get more Allied Seals? I was planning to do the Maelstorm Hunting Log, but it seems like there are only three tiers? :')

Hunting seems inefficient, and I don't have BLU unlocked...

[jade quartz]

Also known as primary attributes

[jade quartz]

Those are the only sources

[hard parrot]

ORZ, that's tragic. Thanks.

[dull tree]

if you can, join a hunt linkshell. it's more efficient that way

[little willow]

is augmented drachen gear good?

[cunning loom]

if it looks good sure

statwise no

[jade quartz]

Not compared to Ironworks gear, which is also easier to obtain

[earnest ginkgo]

Is someone carryign on primals for quest completion?

[jade quartz]

At level 50, the best gear is Augmented Ironworks gear, purchased with Allagan Tomestones of Poetics from either Auriana and Aelina in Mor Dhona, or Rowena’s Representative in any of the three starting cities

This gear is easy to obtain and will remain the best until you reach level 55 MSQ content.

It’s highly recommended.

By comparison, all other level 50 gear is only useful as glamour.

[little willow]

if i transmog with it can it be dyed?

[fast talon]

depends on what gear youre turning it into

if the gear youre using as the basis for glamour can be dyed, then yes

[jade quartz]

Yes

[jade quartz]

That’s exactly what was asked

[fast talon]

maybe i just misunderstood the question, but say he used the artifact gear to glamour over the ironworks, he wouldnt be able to dye that (the ones you get from the quest, not the coffer)

likewise if he transmogged his ironworks to look like anything else that can't be dyed

[jade quartz]

Yes he would

Augmented Drachen armour is dyeable

[fast talon]

if it was specifically augmented drachen then i missed it, my b

[jade quartz]

It was

[fast talon]

but just in case they wanted to use another gear that wasnt innate dyeable

[lapis sorrel]

Any1 knows how to make my MopiMopi like this one

Mine's completely different

[barren valve]

In limsa, starting conjurer path to go white mage, where can I go to get a starting set of gear so im not naked?

[naive ridge]

Limsa houses the arcanist guild, not the conjurers, unless conjurer is your 2nd class

[barren valve]

Oh ok well either way where to get the starting gear

[naive ridge]

but every starting city has a market area

with vendors for beginner gear

[jade quartz]

Starting race gear is ok if you didn’t trash it, otherwise just go to market

[naive ridge]

Limsa's is right beside the main aetheryte

[jade quartz]

Battlecraft vendor/independent armourer/whatever

Or rebuy starting race gear from Bango Zango yeah

[cloud current]

so do you use ice shuriken without trick the first time it comes up after the opener since trick isnt up yet

or are u supposed to save it

seems like awkward timing

[dull valley]

is it possible to do the crystal tower quests in duty finder for the MSQ? watching the video it seems kinda complicated...

[boreal storm]

Yes

It’s easy just follow the group and don’t die

[polar badge]

Crystal Tower is easier than old guides now

[dull valley]

ok thats good news

[leaden ginkgo]

Is this game ever getting a graphical or lighting engine upgrade?

[empty umbra]

do people still queue for howling eye (hard)? been in queue for like an hour as tank just wanna progress in msq

[polar badge]

When they finally drop PS4 support likely yes

just wanna make sure, this means i will create a character in Tonberry server right?

[polar badge]

You pick server at the end of character creation.

[jovial quarry]

It means you have an open slot in Tonberry but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s open for character creation atm. Game has been popping off lately and most servers are character locked until late late nights.

[plain lichen]

ahh i see

maybe i should have checked if it was open before playing lol

[ripe hound]

Is there a way for SMN to gain mana by using a Titan skill?

[jovial quarry]

The list updates automatically every few minutes. You’ll be able to see it when you’re making your character

[ripe hound]

Ok, nvm figure it out, no SMN can’t

[polar badge]

Tonberry is notorious for being congested, even before the WoW boom

If its already red at this time of the day I'm afraid it'll stay this way until late night.

I was watching a guide mentioning Titan can be a 4 times as efficient manaward

I thought they said lucid dreaming lol

whats the questname and whats the problem?

[polar badge]

What quest?

[boreal storm]

What’s the objective say

[oak crag]

keep in mind, i havent played Black Mage since ARR :p

after Heavensward came out i stopped playing pretty much anything that isnt a healer

[leaden ginkgo]

yep, but not many players keep their procs/xenos for movement sadly, extremely rare

[willow rapids]

yo i installed Gshade am i gonna get mobbed my Square Enix

[polar badge]

Gshade is allowed

[leaden ginkgo]

nope

[oak crag]

nah it's allowed

[willow rapids]

Pog

[swift atlas]

I jumped on to the wiki like someone suggested, I will try and figure it out!

[stray dawn]

allowed, just don't leave evidence in ff14

[oak crag]

@plain lichen oh and Rogue -> Ninja, but you unlock that by doing a quest in limsa instead of starting as one

[jade quartz]

SMN is pretty undeniably the most mobile mage, but BLM has extremely good on-demand movement options that in some specific scenarios could be called better than SMN

[stiff fiber]

I just pre-ordered endwalker on steam, how do i get the XP Earrings?

[stray dawn]

moogle mail

[jade quartz]

But in general it’s SMN>BLM>RDM in terms of caster mobility

[polar badge]

Moving too much as Summoner does lead to unwanted ghosting though

But thats more of a problem with the job

[jade quartz]

During Baha or Phoenix yes that’s true

[stiff fiber]

i dont see anything in the mail yet, does it take a while for it to register or did i have to do anything else

[jade quartz]

But those are a minor part of the rotation timewise

[plain lichen]

is there any major difference between kujata and tonberry?

[torn knot]

it took like 5 or 10 minutes for me to get it

[iron mirage]

A mentor added me as a friend, but I can't whisper/tell them or add them to party, is there any way I can contact them again? D:

[jade quartz]

Not major no

[plain lichen]

cant make one in tonberry right now but kujata is available

[polar badge]

Nothing major, Kujata is also predominantly English

[jade quartz]

On the free trial unfortunately you can’t send tells

If they’re in the novice network you could try to ask for them there

[iron mirage]

Dang, they said the novice network would probably be full for a while :c

[leaden ginkgo]

if I buy late for buy retainer for a month, what will happen in game retainer? they are lvl 80...

[polar badge]

They'll stay there but unaccessible

Until you pay

[sterile shore]

iv been stuck in this quest for like an hour... and im tired of walking around i swear i dont know how to get there, i canot go into "The Azim Steppe" so there has to be another way of getting there i just dont even know how to look it up

[polar badge]

There's a lake northwest of Namai

You need to dive in if I recall correctly

[sterile shore]

oh i think i see it

[rich gazelle]

hello, does Gold Saucer VIP card affect rewards from fashion report & jumbo cactpot?

[cunning loom]

yes

[oblique yew]

what's the bot command for savage loot?

[fathom hemlock]

i just hit 20. Where do I get a mount?

[leaden ginkgo]

so will they reset after I pay? like I have to lvl up them?

[polar badge]

No

Everything is retained

[leaden ginkgo]

I see...thx for info...now I feel relax...xD

[tired slate]

Is there a way to not get exp? I want to pvp but don't want to overlevel due to it.

[polar badge]

Mount is at level 20 MSQ

Not Level 20 class itself

[fathom hemlock]

Hmm. Is there a way to see where i'm at in the MSQ?

[polar badge]

Topleft of your screen should be your current MSQ

[tired slate]

There should be a Scenario guide on the top left of your screen

[fathom hemlock]

I'm at "Call of the desert"

[polar badge]

You're at Level 16

[bronze ingot]

is it possible to disable the tooltip popup when hovering a skill

[fathom hemlock]

oh ok, so keep grinding then 🙂

[polar badge]

I believe you can disable Action Help in HUD Layout?

Could be wrong though

You can move it somewhere less intrusive too

[jade quartz]

Yeah you can set it to a fixed point on your screen rather than over the top of your cursor

In HUD settings

Then move that fixed point around in system > HUD layout

I’d recommend at least having it somewhere

Cause reading tooltips is good

For smart brains

[storm sapphire]

do the chocobo companion abilities stack across stances?

[worn monolith]

Excuse me, can anyone add me in Novice Network?

[prisma hill]

I've finished the l 40 squadron mission and was promoted to 1st lieutenant, do I need to complete more squadron stuff to get promoted further?

[graceful hamlet]

why cant i make a character on a server

overpopulated?

[earnest ginkgo]

Yep

[cunning loom]

yes

captain is the highest rank

after finishing the 50 mission

[graceful hamlet]

damn ive been trying for like 30 minutes

[prisma hill]

Damn, thought it was over and would just need seals

[stray dawn]

does it have to be that one server?

[graceful hamlet]

yea ig

[shut panther]

Oh that was two lines

Oops

[cunning loom]

at least at captain rank you can hold 90k gc seals

it's actually really nice

[shut panther]

Yeah lots of servers are overpopulated ATM.

[stray dawn]

big streamers and yt vids created a flood

[earnest ginkgo]

is 12:48 am and theres still que to get into a server

[graceful hamlet]

ive been waiting mad long

[earnest ginkgo]

But ques for extreme are still long

[graceful hamlet]

inpatient asf rn lmao

[outer mural]

you don't queue for extremes

you party find extremes

[earnest ginkgo]

even on hard primals

[outer mural]

you never DF extremes because you dont' wanna be put in with randos that don't have a plan, as it is difficult content

hard mode primals being long yeah fair

but no one queues for EXs

[earnest ginkgo]

i did que for garuda ex early, killed her 3rd try

[cunning loom]

gj

[outer mural]

if it works, i guess, can't complain

[polar badge]

Garuda is the easier ones

[stray dawn]

pick a server that's avail or you want to enter that specific server? xD

[polar badge]

I'd advise against doing it

[earnest ginkgo]

Im just doing the hard primals to unlock the exs so i can party the others later

[polar badge]

Ones like Ramuh and Shiva are significantly harder

[earnest ginkgo]

i want zapdos

[cunning loom]

shiva's arguably the hardest arr ex trial but damn if she isn't fun

[graceful hamlet]

nah i wanna enter my brother's server lol

[oblique yew]

is zadnor better or dungeons better for leveling from 75-80?

[polar badge]

If you're DPS, Zadnor

[graceful hamlet]

i have a character on the server already but i dont like the class i picked

[stray dawn]

ic, guess you gotta try it during off peak hours, like wake up 3am or something

[polar badge]

If you're tank or healer, Zadnor too but you have the option of dungeons.

[earnest ginkgo]

is there a lvl 80 with some time to spare?

[polar badge]

Zadnor does allow you to farm mettle too so its two birds with one stone

[graceful hamlet]

damn ima just keep trying here and there

[outer mural]

are you asking for an unsync

[earnest ginkgo]

yes

[abstract parcel]

hey uhh how do i leave the diadem lol. through the duty finder? will that incur penalty?

[oblique yew]

so i am level 25, is there anything more after that?

[polar badge]

No

[outer mural]

party find it and say it's first time bonus

someone will do it for you

[polar badge]

You've done Dalriada, yes?

[barren valve]

I thought guildhests were a way to get seals for your GC? Maybe its because this is just the first one its not a reward?

[oblique yew]

yes

[polar badge]

You can farm mettle for Valor stacks

[boreal storm]

Guildhests are not worth

Like at all

[polar badge]

Its 20mil mettle for 3 proof of mettle

[abstract parcel]

like no it won't incur penalty or no that's now how i leave sorry

[polar badge]

And you need 30 proofs for a full stack

[boreal storm]

Why would it penalize you

It’s not a combat duty

[polar badge]

90 proofs for The Emblazoned title

[abstract parcel]

i don't know, i've never done it before. i've never done a non-combat duty

thank you though!!! 🙂

[barren valve]

What would you suggest for gc seals? I need to be a certain rank (sergeant) I think before I can turn in extra items for seals

[outer mural]

i unsync old dungeons

otherwise just do your roulettes and turn in gear if you're still levelling

[cunning loom]

greed EVERYTHING

feed all that dungeon junk to the gc

[barren valve]

right but I am not even high enough rank to turn in items and feed them to gc

[graceful hamlet]

YO I GOT IN

[barren valve]

I need like 3 or 4 more ranks

[cunning loom]

before that, do your daily turnins for crafter/gatherers

[boreal storm]

Have you been doing your GC hunting log

[barren valve]

I did like the first page

[plain lichen]

is there a way so that i turn the camera without holding right click?

[timber basin]

Arrow keys

[boreal storm]

Or WASD

[timber basin]

well it depends on your controls tho

like I have it legacy type

[plain lichen]

i mean so that it would be like im always holding rmb

when i move my mouse

[random saffron]

Based on the previous expansions, will the mount from preordering Endwalker collector's editon (Arion) be available to purchase later from the store? or is it exclusive?

[outer mural]

it will be available later likely

they havent' said anything about it being exclusive or an exception to previous collector's editions

[leaden ginkgo]

quick q, do you keep the items you won inside a dungeon if you leave duty?

[jade quartz]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

lets say you solo unsynced a dungeon and leave before the boss

cool nice thanks

[jade quartz]

That’s the whole point of those items

[spiral inlet]

do I have the create the plates

beforehand?

I got items in my glamour dresser\

[manic schooner]

hey guys need some help, im on top of the azeriyt but i cant see it. is there a way to dive underwater?

[tropic flame]

yeah you can make plates and bind them to a gearset

[tropic flame]

yes its underwater

[manic schooner]

holy smokes whats the command to dive?

[tropic flame]

you'll have to look for a circle opening

ctrl + space

[robust crow]

does the shb relic have a 525 step?

or does it go straight from 515 to 535

[tropic flame]

yes

wait

uhh

[manic schooner]

ohh how about in ps4?

[jade quartz]

You can’t yet

[vapid zenith]

circle

[manic schooner]

ok noted thanks

[jade quartz]

Follow your MSQ

[cunning loom]

you need to get the ability to dive from MSQ

[jade quartz]

It will take you there

Like always

[manic schooner]

ahhh i seee

[dim ridge]

its a big island, go around the other side and there's a way down

[manic schooner]

ok thanks guys

[dim ridge]

i got lost in the same damn spot

[manic schooner]

ill go for msq spot first

[vapid zenith]

hey um i've just started the eureka anemos and i'm not sure what this place is? Am i meant to level up by fighting monsters, follow Krile's objectives? Is this place for a relic weapon? I'm confused AF

[tropic flame]

yeah this place is a pain in the ass to travel without your diving skill

[bronze drift]

So I had finally unlocked Tempest in Norvarndt but I kinda died on my way to the aether crystal now I cant get there. Is there a way to get there or can someone take me? 😅

[jade quartz]

Yes, yes, and yes

[tropic flame]

you can try /shout for a res

remember to do <pos> in the shout so people know where you aree

[bronze drift]

I had already got back to steps of uld and now im in lakeland :c

[tropic flame]

ah

[vapid zenith]

oh damn. it's slow grind then. ;_; i came for the fafnir minion. I'm guessing i can't do that FATE as a newbie level 2

[bronze drift]

idk how to get to tempest and i cant just force quit the main story line

[vapid zenith]

i die so much here

[jade quartz]

Go to the docks south of Wright in Kholusia to get back to the Tempest

[dim ridge]

i'm pretty sure you can still go back down, i think it may be in kholusia at the docks

what Lyon said yes!

[vapid zenith]

are we meant to do it as a party? cause i can barely take on 3 enemies at once

[jade quartz]

Can solo if you keep to one enemy

[cunning loom]

NMs in eureka are scaled by how many people exist in the instance

[jade quartz]

But parties are better

[cunning loom]

but normal enemies have to be killed one at a time

[more if you have some source of healthgain like RDM/tanks/healers]

the most important command in eureka is /magiaauto

automatically sets your elemental thing to either make you do more damage/take less damage/toggle off based on how many times you use the command

[vapid zenith]

wait so i can join FATEs with other people and we can all be at different levels?

[cunning loom]

yes

if you're underlevelled, look for a party to join so you can leech

[vapid zenith]

ah, but i seem to die a lot if i try to run past high level enemies so i can't get anywhere

[jade quartz]

Can just type an argument

[cunning loom]

enemies in anemos have a vision cone

walk behind them and you're fine

mind the latency

[jade quartz]

/magiaauto atk /magiaauto def

And set macros for them

[cunning loom]

[sprites aggro based on casting spells so be careful about those]

[vapid zenith]

i'm on console so not sure if those work

[jade quartz]

They do

[cunning loom]

[also in the next eureka area there's a stupid, STUPID mob that you need to RP walk past, not relevant but i just wanted to vent]

also ALWAYS ping your location and ask for a res if you die

most people will walk over to pick you up

[vapid zenith]

really? why?

[cunning loom]

reviving in eureka loses exp

[vapid zenith]

i've just been respawning back at camp

[cunning loom]

you can lose levels from it

[vapid zenith]

oh..

[cunning loom]

yeah

[vapid zenith]

_<;;

[cunning loom]

it's also why i like being RDM in it

[bronze drift]

ty so much

[vapid zenith]

this place is hardcore

[cunning loom]

if you want, you could just finish the challenge log for eureka and call it a day

wait for it to reset in a few hours

it gives a massive amount of elemental exp

[vapid zenith]

at this point i just want a specific minion

does the game only give you 1 magicite at the start?

[cunning loom]

yes

you get more from the quests krile sends you on

the locations are online somewhere

[jade quartz]

[jade quartz]

Go buy it dude

Lol

[cunning loom]

yeah that's cheap as hell

[jade quartz]

63 gil

You don’t need to be grinding eureka if that’s all you want

[vapid zenith]

oh ok

[cunning loom]

eureka's a LARGE time investment

[vapid zenith]

i legit thought it was gonna be quick

_<;;

is it worth doing eventually? i mean it's ultimately for relic weapons right

[cunning loom]

it's for the stormblood relic sure

and elemental armour which looks amazing

[and access to the 56-person raid that drops that cool ball/cube mount]

[jade quartz]

Good gil making stuff in there too

[cunning loom]

also you get loads of poetics from it, and you can get some pretty expensive items too

[spark pollen]

Can I change to cat girl with this potion ?

[cunning loom]

e.g. a t-rex mount

[cunning loom]

yes

[jade quartz]

Yes

[spark pollen]

thanks

[jade quartz]

Trex isn’t tradable

[cunning loom]

oh, huh

[jade quartz]

But all the other lockbox mounts are big dollar bill

[tropic flame]

you'll need to rightclick -> use it first

[vapid zenith]

oooo i see. I will need to eventually do this yes. thank yoU!

so much to do in this game XD

[vestal magnet]

yo guys does this dialogue choice even matter? I kinda think Widargelt's a whiny bitch

[spark pollen]

as a blackmage should I keep using the one with spell speed right?

[boreal storm]

Use the one with the better ilvl

[polar badge]

!faq statmeme

[zinc orbit]

What are the real stat weights?

[polar badge]

Always weapon damage

[simple atlas]

Item level >>> Secondary stats

[polar badge]

Always

[jade quartz]

God no

[spark pollen]

I thought stacking spell speed is the way to go

[fading helm]

what can i do with my tomestone of poetics in heavensward?

where do i go to spend them i mean

[boreal storm]

Idyllshire

[tropic flame]

you can spend them on poetic gear in idyllshire

they're the best gear for lvl 60

[boreal storm]

Or Ishgard once you’ve beat 3.0

[dire prawn]

Lyon

[jade quartz]

Sub stats are irrelevant until you’re level 80 and max ilvl and have gear choices that are the same ilvl.

[dire prawn]

I have done Ivalice raids

Where can I unlock ShB relic and Bozja

[fading helm]

do i have to beat heavensward first

to spend my poetics

[jade quartz]

Ilvl and therefore weapon damage and intelligence are always far more important .

[dire prawn]

No

[spark pollen]

oh okay xD if I see +green I should equipt

[jade quartz]

Kugane

[dire prawn]

You just need to reach Idyllshire

[dire prawn]

For both?

[jade quartz]

If more intelligence, equip

[jade quartz]

They are the same thing

[fading helm]

do u know where in idilhsyire it is

i forgot what their icon looks like

[dire prawn]

Wait what

[boreal storm]

The middle building

[jade quartz]

Hismena and Bertana

[boreal storm]

With the 3 vendors in a row

[jade quartz]

Tomestone exchange

Bertana next to her for the weapons

You want Shire gear.

[remote valve]

I have a free trial service account on the windows version but I heard if I buy the full game on steam it will convert to steam version. Is this true?

[jade quartz]

ShB relic is in Bozja, the first few steps are linked (you literally get your first relic by unlocking Bozja)

[dire prawn]

Oh

[jade quartz]

Then they branch off from each other so doing both is optional

[spark pollen]

Yes it means u need to buy sub and incoming expansions through steam

[dull valley]

is there a good video I can watch that gives a nice short/concise description of how each job plays?

[spark pollen]

if I'm not wrong

[leaden ginkgo]

guys my friend picked my server but he got the wrong server and we didnt know now we cant play together 😢

[tropic flame]

are you guys in the same DC?

[leaden ginkgo]

DC?

[tropic flame]

data center

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah we both light

[tropic flame]

then you still can

[jade quartz]

Very surface-level but here is an overview https://youtu.be/k_vH-1WZQ3A

[tropic flame]

you just need to keep doing the msq to get to the other city states

[dull valley]

@jade quartz thanks!

[tropic flame]

i think at about lvl 15 msq

[leaden ginkgo]

ahh okay

[tropic flame]

wait

yeah

you can go to any main city aetheryte and go to other servers

[jade quartz]

If they’re only a few hours in, might be worth remaking character

If you want to share a free company

[fading helm]

they dont sell weapons? the tomestone exchange

[jade quartz]

Like I said, Bertana next to her for weapons

[fading helm]

oops didnt see that

[jade quartz]

Apart from Free Companies and getting married you can do basically everything together crossworld

[warm yacht]

Why do my retainers never bring back dye?

[tropic flame]

they hate you

[jade quartz]

They hate you

[leaden ginkgo]

They hate you

he said he dont wanna relevel

[rich gazelle]

hello, does Gold Saucer VIP card affect rewards from fashion report & jumbo cactpot?

[jade quartz]

What level is he?

[leaden ginkgo]

what u mean by free company @jade quartz

16

[jade quartz]

This game’s player guilds

[leaden ginkgo]

base class

[jade quartz]

Could zoom there in 2–3 hours

But if not it’s fine

You can still play together and do virtually everything together except be in the same Free Company and get married

Neither of which are a huge deal

[tropic flame]

you can also make a linkshell for the both of you so its easier to communicate without being in the same FC or being in a party all the time

[warm yacht]

So I've just been unlucky literally never once getting dye from 1-72 on one retainer and 1-53 on another?

and they're both wearing the augmented tomestone gear for their ilvl tiers

[tropic flame]

yeah

i get retainer coffers containing dyes once in a blue moon

and just keep resending them on quick ventures

[leaden ginkgo]

so only thing we cant is guild @jade quartz he dont wanna relevel he said

[jade quartz]

Dyes are primarily from quick ventures, are you doing those?

[warm yacht]

mhm, pretty frequently

[jade quartz]

Yeah then tough luck

[warm yacht]

I burn a lot of ventures

ugh

Both SAM

Does higher retainer level / higher ilvl increase chances of getting rarer stuff from quicks, like dyes?

[untold path]

so I heard they are going to rework monk, is there any info on that? Like when and what they are gonna do?

[silver ruin]

they already did that

any other changes would come endwalker release which we have no info on

[untold path]

oh he is already reworked ? When did it happen?

[silver ruin]

greased lighting is a trait instead of a buff you have to keep up

[untold path]

I just was looking job vids and some said he is gonna get reworked soon so info would be outdated so idk what to watch about him

[leaden ginkgo]

How do I check how much Gil I have?

[boreal storm]

The Gil counter

In the corner

[tropic flame]

it should be in the bottom right corner

[leaden ginkgo]

Ty

[honest anvil]

Weskalber on youtube

Your one stop channel for all things about leveling any job :3

[untold path]

thanks

[stray dawn]

is it true that if you set a teleport location in favorite, it gets reduced fee?

[tropic flame]

yep

[stray dawn]

nice, how does one set as fav?

[tropic flame]

you go to the aetheryte itself and right click

it should have that option listed at the bottom of the list

[stray dawn]

roger, is there a limit?

[tropic flame]

i thnk only 2 is the defauly

[stray dawn]

so mainly put fav for big city?

good idea to put for eulmore since i'll be going there often for gears xD

oh, whats this 'free destination', is it perm.?

[warm yacht]

do you discard used field notes?

[river wagon]

any idea how you find your MSQ quests after they're gone from your log?

[boreal storm]

The banner in the top left

[tropic flame]

i put eulmore as my return destination (home point) and crystarium + limsa as my fav

[tropic flame]

press on J and there should be a button to see all your finished quests

[river wagon]

[warm yacht]

no...

[tropic flame]

hehehe

[honest anvil]

It’s ok ... you probably only miss out on a bunch of magick prism anw

[tropic flame]

true

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeesh forget I said anything

[broken fable]

Once you collect all the gwibers, where do you go for the big mount?

[autumn shard]

idk if im on right channel but does anyone know where I can find the 43 questions (translated) from the live letter that yoshi p answered?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi can someone help me boost my Marauder to 15 so i can do dungeons ? I play on Mateus

[jade quartz]

Warmachina Fanatic in the Lochs

[dull valley]

Im assuming I cant get to Idyllshire until I actually get to the HW MSQ?

[tropic flame]

yep

[jade quartz]

Correct

[tropic flame]

you'll need to progress through the HW msq

[jade quartz]

#translations-and-liveletters

[broken fable]

Ty <3

[jade quartz]

Yeah Idyllshire access is like three quarters through HW

[plain lichen]

i cant play ninja as f2p player right?

[jade quartz]

You can

On the free trial yes

[autumn shard]

@jade quartz Thanks!

[plain lichen]

ohhh nice thank you, I thought ARR jobs was not included

[boreal storm]

Wha

[jade quartz]

ARR is the base game

[tropic flame]

only Stormblood and Shadowbringer jobs are not included

[jade quartz]

Free trial includes all of ARR and Heavensward

[austere stag]

why is it so hard to log in

[plain lichen]

ohhh, i read somewhere here arr is not included, or maybe i misread

[leaden ginkgo]

What are you having trouble with?

[austere stag]

i never had a one time password

[boreal storm]

Leave it blank

[jade quartz]

So leave the field blank

It’s optional 2FA

[quick crater]

are hard dungeon cutscenes different?

[austere stag]

how long do i have to wait if it says ive tried too many times?

[plain lichen]

is this a correct list of jobs i cant play as trial player?
red mage/samurai/dancer/gunbreaker

[leaden ginkgo]

Looks right

[fading helm]

can i skip the HW cutscenes

or is there something at the end

i mean credits lol

[jade quartz]

Yes it’s a different dungeon

[leaden ginkgo]

The credits are safe to skip

[jade quartz]

Just happens to be in the same place lorewise

Different layout different enemies different bosses different story

[jovial quarry]

[plain lichen]

just wanna make sure, I can still change to rouge then to ninja even tho I started with a thaumaturge class right?

[jade quartz]

The (hard) naming convention is misleading

[gritty oracle]

Yes

[austere stag]

jesus logging into the game is the hardest part

[jade quartz]

You can play every single job to level cap on one character

[gritty oracle]

But you need to finish your lv10 Thaumaturge Quest and get access to Lims

[plain lichen]

mine was registering lol, damned error i2501

thank you, this is my first MMO with this system

[austere stag]

i didnt remeber my id almost gave up somehow i managed to get into the client now

[plain lichen]

your ID is somewhere in the email u used to register

[austere stag]

no it wasnt i had to get into mog station

[fast talon]

is there a place to re-claim lvl 80 AF gear if you sell it/lose it? is it also the calamity salvager like 50/70 or something weird like the HW ones.

[leaden ginkgo]

You can get it back from the same place you got it the first time in the tempest

[fast talon]

oh really? well that's convenient. thanks.

[leaden ginkgo]

No problem hon

[clear smelt]

I recently came back after a long break from FFXIV, and I was trying to remember if the weapon tokens that would drop in the raids happen even if it isn't the newest one? (like still weekly token on E8N)?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey does anyone know of any night club FCs in leviathan sever?

[leaden ginkgo]

They do still drop, the limit on them is removed now

[fading helm]

i never got the poro roggo minion ): is that in post HW?

[fast talon]

google says yes. i honestly cant remember lol.

[clear smelt]

Neat, so I can try to run E8N a few more times and get the tokens needed to get the 510 weapon?

[outer star]

Yeah it drops each time

[clear smelt]

Thanks so much!

[outer star]

The draught chocobo

[frigid apex]

Am i able to hop around my datacenter

to get my ixion mount done

[outer star]

Yes

[frigid apex]

or can you not do fates on other servers

so i can do fates?

[outer star]

I did that for my robot frog

[fast talon]

draught chobo if you have friends. the FFXV car in a few months when the event comes back.

[frigid apex]

Which channel is for asking about fates

[sharp lily]

I've been trying to get into FFxiv, but having a huge issue- I redeemed the free trial like... a year or two ago, but due to account issues I never got to even log in. But it counted my 14 days as up. I heard the free trial was upgraded to level 60... but I I don't think I can access it. So I'm not to sure what to do...

[fast talon]

best option would be to just make a new account i think

in fact im pretty sure if you were in the old trial you wouldnt be able to access the new trial anyway

[outer star]

Most likely, since that old version of the trial was different

[fast talon]

cuz that happened to one of my old accounts

especially if it was still the 14 day trial cuz that was ages ago

[sharp lily]

But then if I'm interested and upgrade to the full game I have none of my progress...

[fast talon]

im somewhat confused. you said you never logged in the old account, so what progress would you have?

[outer star]

Yeah if we're talking the 14 day free trial, that was a hell of a long time ago

[stray dawn]

why is my Scenario Guide not showing?

[dire prawn]

I'm starting the Bozja/ShB relic questline and I'm in Gangos rn

[sharp lily]

Fair enough. I meant if I wanted to upgrade to the paid version and make a second account, the 2nd account would have all my progress

[dire prawn]

And this music absolutely claps

Where can I get it

[outer star]

Good question

There's an orchestrion for virtually everything for Bozja

[fast talon]

well, yeah that would be the case but at least with the 2nd account you could do the new trial (which no longer has a time limit like the old one)

unless having a second account is a major concern

you could just make the 2nd account the main one and upgrade that one if you should choose to do so

probably not since its not current tier unless they are just mount farming

[wheat hazel]

Hey guys I’m trying to get into end game high end duty and raiding but don’t know where to start any tips?

[fast talon]

sorry, not familiar myself tho im sure there are discords for the different data centers doing LFG and stuff

[little swift]

you use party finder to learn and clear old content

might have to sit in it for a while

[plain lichen]

hello dumb question, where can i see my money? i cant seem to find it in inventory and profile

[little swift]

ctrl+c opens your currencies menu

[jade quartz]

On screen in the lower right, or open the currency menu with ctrl+C

[plain lichen]

ohhh i see it, thank you

wow teleportation is expensive af early game

[tropic flame]

you can join a free company, usually they have reduced teleportation fees going

[plain lichen]

ahhh i cant sadly, ty for tip tho

[tired hinge]

what is this bonus gil from dailies I hear about

[tropic flame]

you can get bonus rewards for being the adventurer in need

[tired hinge]

right

[outer star]

The challenge log rewards some gil too

[tired hinge]

ahh

[sharp lily]

made a new account, and got Error Code: i2501.

[tired hinge]

good to know, I'm a poors

[tired hinge]

use your phone to register

[sharp lily]

sorry for more.. technical issues

Oh?

[tired hinge]

its a hassle but its always worked for me

[sharp lily]

The amount of hoops I need just to get this started feels so draconian but I hope its worth it. Thank you for all the help so far

[tired hinge]

theres a chance you might get other errors with the SE launcher, then you'd need to open your ports

but i2501 is a vpn-ish problem, only fix I've seen work majority of times is just using phone

[sharp lily]

I don't HAVE a VPN

[plain lichen]

i have i2501 too with no vpn

[tired hinge]

yeah neither do I

but I still get it

its probably cookies or apps or something, which is why the phone works

[plain lichen]

it seems to be a common problem when u live outside EU as far as i see

[astral badge]

Is the only way to edit appearance with fantasia? In terms of eye color, head shape, skin color etc?

[plain lichen]

what worked for me is new email address and use mobile data

[astral badge]

Cuz I cant do much with the aesthetic dude

[outer star]

Yep

[astral badge]

Unfortunate

[tired hinge]

you get a free Fantasia after beating the ARR 2.0 MSQ

other than that, have to buy it

[astral badge]

Thats one W for WoW lmao. The only W 😭😂

Oh I already used that

[leaden ginkgo]

How can you create a new service account on PS4 to get the free trial?

[haughty topaz]

so am level 54 yet this skill is locked and i dont have a job quest .. why?

[leaden ginkgo]

are you still in ARR?

That could possibly be it

[haughty topaz]

yeah level 46 quest

[tropic flame]

do your msq

you'll unlock it then

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah so you'll need to finish your MSQ, then job quests

[haughty topaz]

k ty

[low flax]

what would be considered a fast time to kill rathalos ex?

[haughty topaz]

so when this changes i should do it

[tropic flame]

yep

[sharp lily]

Finally... got the icon on my desktop

[tropic flame]

you should probably do that quest too since you unlock the battle buddy

[haughty topaz]

whats that ?

[tropic flame]

you basically get to summon your chocobo to fight with yuou

[sonic wigeon]

Doing that quest lets you use your choco as a battle pet

[tropic flame]

its good for fates

[haughty topaz]

lots of blue quests but am not sure if they r important

[tropic flame]

take your time to unlock them

[tired hinge]

it work? using your phone to upgrade from trial on mogstation is also a thing, in case mogstation gives your a i2501 when you input the reg code

[tropic flame]

but make sure you do

[haughty topaz]

i can do them later ?

[fast talon]

generally speaking blue quests are worth doing

[tropic flame]

yeah but i tend to do them whenever i see one

[haughty topaz]

am going to swap to dps after ARR

[fast talon]

the one exception might be "Leves of [location]"

[low flax]

does anyone know

[sharp lily]

Yup. Updating the launcher now

[haughty topaz]

do they give class xp ?

[fast talon]

well youtube shows world record is less than 2 mins.

[sonic wigeon]

if you have a good party, 2-3 minutes is obtainable.

[low flax]

sounds good then i only have to do a few hours to get it

[sonic wigeon]

I've done runs that last 2.5 minutes or so

[sharp lily]

I had a steam version which kept on saying it wouldn't work, so I downloaded the independent launcher and it just finally woooorrkkkkked!

[fast talon]

sometimes. blue usually means they unlock content of some kind. it could be something for fun like glamour or it could be something important like raids/dungeons

[haughty topaz]

ok ty

[sharp lily]

5 hours until I can finally try this game

[low flax]

[shut panther]

Provided you can make a character xd

[crude nacelle]

do you keep preferred server benefits if you transfer from one preferred server to another?

[shut panther]

I think you'd get the transferring to preferred benefits instead.. which i can't remember the difference

[sonic wigeon]

yes, you should.

don't see a reason why you wouldn't

[crude nacelle]

nvm they couldnt transfer cause the game keeps you hostaged for 90 days

[bold dirge]

When the make it rain event start, will there be the Rainmaker hairstyle avalible?

[leaden ginkgo]

So this is the scenario
I played the game eyars ago but never got into it
now I'm returning and it's not letting me do the free trial
because I got stormblood for free years ago
that account is linked
how do I unlink that account and create a free trial account

[plain lichen]

make new account?

[tired hinge]

use a different email to make a trial account

if its Steam, you're SOL

[leaden ginkgo]

It's on PS4

and PSN is linked

PSN is the current issue

[naive kraken]

would need a new psn account, dunno if it locks to the ps4 hardware

[young steppe]

Stupid question, if my crafter gear is Disciple of the Hand (i.e. Aesthete Gear), but I want the glamour on it being dependant on the job it currently it, how do I make it so?

[sonic wigeon]

Glamour plate is the easiest option

Unfortunately if you're sharing gear across multiple jobs, you will have to reglam everytime you swap jobs

If you want every job to have a unique look

[tired hinge]

use glamour plates by accessing the glamour dresser in an Inn

[wispy finch]

btw, how much does a fully furnished apartment would cost? ik an apartment alone would cost 500k but how about the interiors n stuff

[young steppe]

So I have to keep changing via glamour plates huh, that sucks.

[wispy finch]

i have around 2 mil gil and i dont wanna fall under 1 mil

[young steppe]

The Job Artifact for the DoH and DoL looks pretty neat

[sonic wigeon]

I agree :(

[naive kraken]

depends on what you want to put in and how many items you want to put in

[wispy finch]

do u hab an apartment

[young steppe]

FC apartment is 300k

[wispy finch]

if so how much is it

oh

i have a FC

but we dont have a house coz its hard to buy one rn

[tropic flame]

my fc leader camped for house once

once and never again

[wispy finch]

wait so if u have an FC

u can just go to an FC aparment?

[tropic flame]

yeah you can just buy one in it

[wispy finch]

confused

[tropic flame]

uhh

there's a door in the house that says that it leads to other apartments

[wispy finch]

oh that

we dont have an FC house

:<

[fathom sand]

im stuck on this quest i cant seem to find how to throw it

[tropic flame]

you click on it and you can buy an apartment through the listing

[wispy finch]

u cant throw an msq

oh no

[tropic flame]

why do you want to throw it?

[wispy finch]

ok ok so i buy it i dont get kicked out

[fathom sand]

[tropic flame]
