thanks u
wonder what puts out more dps, hardcast RDM or melee RDM XD
also another question, when you unlock that sightseeing log, you can get a painting for it?
A great idea, but sadly no
was quoting things i've done XD
you enter hoh at lv 60 or 61
61

Still need help with FF14 setup on steam , if someone could help , please PM
hey is there a new list of yellow scrips to farm?
If need to get geared up quickly for whatever reason, then yeah. But otherwise, there's easy ways to get gear. Farm Eden Normal for 510, third nier raid for 520
How can I change my hair style in game?
Aesthetician
Where is the Aesthetician?
At lvl 15 in limsa lominsa there's a sidequest where you unlock the aesthetician. After you unlock it, you can use it on inn rooms
!quest Beauty Is Only Scalp Deep
I did the side quest already
Rumors of a dangerous madman about town have S'dhodjbi ill at ease.

Have you used his token already
Go to any inn room and use the bell
What time is daily reset?
The bell?
Do !daily in #kupo-bot-spam
The summoning bell?
why do players bring a ranged in 8 mans? did they tie them to the ability to get LB3?
Because ranged is good
just like melee is good
I am in an inn room and dont see that
I am talking from my desire to max dps, not about class equalism
you get a stat bonus for having one of each role type in your party
I am aware of the 1% ranged gets
Ty @dire prawn
do they get anything else?
the buffs the job brings (assuming dnc/brd)
.... so if I want to min max I could bring BLM/SAM/ and some combination or NIN/DRG/MNK
No
but generally the party bonus stat is why team comps are 1 melee/1caster/1phys/random
If you wanted to min max you'd actually bring a DNC to partner with the SAM
They bring mitigation, too. It doesn't matter as much now, with the echo, but it's important for prog
But min-maxing isn't a thing because all jobs are equally good and viable
if I wanted to maximize the damage of the entire raid, from my understanding of parses, a 1% loss of stats is more* valuable than the buffs and dps of a dancer
@cedar horizon bAnned from haircuts
Also uh
That's weird. On which inn room are you?
That one might not have the aesthetician, since the character is on the source
^
if youre talking about haircut man
Yeah imma head to the inn at Lisa then
They could've put a double like they did with rowena lol
Minstreling Wanderer
Soft faced bloke
how do i tell if servers are down for maintenance?
im trying to re-sub and the mog station keeps giving error when im paying through steam wallet
Steam goes down around this time for maint.
Try again later if you want to use steam or just do direct payment in Mogstation

is there a ffxiv discord to look for all types of groups/parties seems like most discords are super specific to things like pvp or whatever
cant even log in to play
80% feel useless
ty tho
What's the fastest trial to farm poetics on?
As in, easy to do with a high chance of new player for bonus
Is there a good way to farm Gil efficiently
no
if you have a leveled culinarian https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/juivwe/how_to_make_1800000_gil_in_an_afternoon_with/
530 votes and 107 comments so far on Reddit
I only need about 200k for a apartment
I will level culinary soon ty
Im on the 30/30 30/30 30/30 Relic step, is it faster to farm Zadnor or the normal 8 man raids?
I'd do zadnor
and supplement the rng at the end with raids
oh okay thanks, this is one hell of a grind
i see some pillars with aggro numbers on the ground in streams but i dont have them, what do they do?
at least i assume they are aggro numbers
they might be something else
maybe a dps meter?
You'll want to level up in zadnor anyway if you havent already
Missiles are Doritos of danger I believe
Control M opens the waymark menu
Oh! They're markers that you can put in the ground and everyone in your party can see
Something like that
They're for making positions on the map for mechanics
They're just there as points of reference for mechanics
am in Patch 2.3 (Defenders of Eorzea) level 56 - when should i start doing all blue quests ?
Markers differ based on meaning
do i need to worry about them right now
How does levi wipe mecanic work?
@quiet condor I’d look at the subreddit you see a few posts talking bout their meaning and such
only when you start getting into EX trials
If someone is jumping rapidly they usually want you to follow them from my knowledge
They're only important if you're doing extremes or savage raids
?
you can do them at any time
His wipe mechanic involves a shield that you can get active by killing the orbs that spawn around the ring. If the shield is mistimed in its activation, it causes a wipe
Whenever you want! Although if I were you i'd get the ARR blue quests out of the way before starting heavensward, otherwise it can get overwhelming when you finish your lvl 60 msq and you're hit with a second wave of blue quests
some one has to turn the shield on to prevent his raid wide aoe damage, the one where he circles you, you also have to destroy the bubbles before they drain energy from the shield
what DPS lost actions are useful for MCH especially in delubrum?
is there a website to track them all ? i want to start doing them before the first quest of HS
no, you would need to buy shadowbringers first
pre-order for endwalker you won't get all the previous expansions till release
Generally, when you use it is up to dps in the group. If the dps is high, you use it when he dives across the ship. If it's slow, he'll pop back up for a bit for another round of mechanics
You want the complete edition if you want to buy now for ARR and all expansions until shadowbringers
ty
should I have all language on or just English for duty finder?
So dps high, use it when he jumps across the ship from his normal position. If it's low, he'll slam the ship again, then dive across the length of it. Use it after he does that
all language
yes, you will get it once endwalker releases though.
sometimes he fakes the wipe, how do we predict this?
How do I put something on the market board?
It kind of depends on how much dps the team is doing
I cant really give advice, I do it through feel lol
I gave several replies up above
You have to unlock retainers on one of the major cities. Then you can summon a retainer with one of the summoning bells (They're usually close to the marketboards) and there will be an option to put items for sale
You do it enough and you get a feel of when to turn it on
so ONLY retainers can put things on market?
Yes
yea
no
Sadly, no :(
dang

Maybe one day they'll improve the system
it can be a way to make money
the market board is a bit crap honestly
buy a stack and break it up to sell smaller stacks at higher prices
that's the one thing the GW2 market does better, though they have forced listing tax on top of sales tax to both seller and buyer. this doesn't have listing tax
It does
it does have a tax though
how do i have my chocobo fight with me?
you need to buy an item called gyshal greens
its used to summon your chocobo for combat
for 30 mins
you should be able to buy it from NPC vendors
yeah i have it just dont know how to summon him
Make sure he's not stabled and use the item outside of a Major city or instance
do you have your chocobo yet?
yeah
did you do the quest "My Feisty Little Chocobo" in south shroud? it requires lvl 30
Can someone help me? I missing the 2nd yellow quest diamond for aerocurrent in the lochs, i finished shadowbringers
so ive accumulated all these potions fro mgodknowsfuckingwhere
and did these ever server a purpose?
2400 hp isnt alot now that i have 190k hp
tried finishing the two sidequests?
idk i see them on the map
isnt it suppose to be blue?
HP potions can be tossed
lovely +1 inventory
i think the side quest can lead to a blue quest
ok thnx
these are the quests that needs to be done
but i finished the MSQ
look at the left of the grid
at the column "Quest"
those are the side-quests that you need to do, except for the bottom one that is the MSQ
so, only one of those quests in that grid should be the one you are missing
is it in order
i have no idea, but it could be "If I Were a Fish"
ive screwed myself havent i?
but she not give me quest
if i buy shadowbringers does that mean i get stormblood as well or do i need to buy both individually?
you will get stormblood
can't buy old expansions individually anymore
so i should just wait for the new one to come out and that will give me shadowbringers?
Is there a way to lock the UI buttons (like this lock icon does) with a macro command? Can't find any
Hello
yes, once endwalker releases you get shadowbringers if you have bought it.
Guys im new to this game and i need help, my account is european but at world select i get (NA) why?
you can go to the main menu, and select "Datacenter"
What is this 18Gb update i just got, i can't find anything about it on the reddit or anything
and then choose Chaos / Light
if you added shadowbringers code, then that's why.
Ah yes i bought the game yesterday, thanks!"
how do i get to the houses in la noscea?
perfect makes sense to wai thten
You probably can't right now. They would be sold out
Oh it’s that simple? Lol thanks
@naive ridge so i cant even go there if they are sold out?
you can go there
you can, "Speak to Ahctkoen at the Red Rooster Stead in Lower La Noscea (x31,y20)"
costs an arm and leg to get one atm
They're not asking about buying, they're asking about entering the wards
people not selling for real money atm?
there should be a quest outside the
when the plot goes on sale is random
you'd have to camp outside the house even if they sold it
the only real way to sell one is a transfer of FC ownership
you basically is paying to get a chance to buy it
Does Endwalkers include any previous expansions if I were to pre-purchase?
When it's released
its kind of sucks, i have starter edition but i may complete HW before endwalker release 😦
gotcha, so ill get all the expansions but only once endwalkers out?
i have the base game nad heavensword atm, but i can't play stormbringer until endwalker is out if i pre-order
thats what im doing as well
worst case scenario is that you can get shadowbringers for £11.99
can anybody help me please my tank role quest is not showing up
every npc stands in crystarium except granson
and i cant find any solution whatsoever
did you already start it?
Hi,
if an enemy casts an AoE, is it safe to move back in after the orange circle dissapears? Or do you have to wait until after the spell effect happened?
I see a lot of people moving back in, but then the "bomb" animation or similar happens, are they only getting damage if the orange graphic is still there?
Lvl 70 tank and completed the warrior of darkness quest?
the orange marker is one indicator of when the snapshot happens, so it is safe to do so.
thanks, "snapshot" = the exact moment the damage is dealt?
the damage can be dealt within the animation, but the snapshot is just when it decides if you take the damage or not
he should be here
If the orange indicator disappears while you're inside of it, you're going to take damage from it even if you're not hit by the animation of the attack
ye thats where my screenshot is taken
aah that makes sense. Thanks again! 🙂
Similarly you can "move into an attack" if you move after the orange indicator is gone, even if it looks like you're getting hit, you shouldn't take damage
https://puu.sh/HWeHI/51f98ca195.png according to my questlog i have done 3 of them apparently
but there isnt any npc for the follow up quest still
he will be where you last left him
not at the original area
there
thats the next role quest
how do unlock the second mount speed upgrades
you're an angel tyvm
Various seal vendors
oh gotcha i gotta grind em out
depending on the area/expansion, allied seals, centurio seals etc
you're looking for the riding maps
yeah i remember seeing those thanks
what class should I assign for my first retainer?
do you intend to craft?
i got all the items on the right but not sure what to do now, this is for the Anima weapon quest btw
where am i supposed to get the animated weapon materials exactly
or gather, rather
follow the quest
you will be trading those items
@naive ridge um... not sure yet tbh.. still level 44 haven't touched crafting or gathering.... are they important?
the column 2 and 3 items to an NPC in mordhona
for the items in column one
to give to the NPC in Azys Lla.
aahh okay
not required.
which npc though
You can just set them as a combat class for now.
shes under the stairs
in the building where rowena is
north west
okaaay ty
i recently discovered with my current camera setting, if I walk out of mechanic while using skill holding W key, my character walks back into the monsters, best way to solve that issue?
obviously turning off always face monster is bad, cause i end up turning my back to bosses sometimes
Just set them to combat classes, unless there are specific mats you want to get for crafting. You'll generally be doing quick ventures with them anyway which can be done on any retainer class.
I had the same issue until I switched to legacy movement. No more accidental deaths from the game suddenly moving me in the wrong direction
so legacy is the way i guess?
I just right click to control the camera
i hate how camera rotates so low on legacy
It's preference. I like legacy more
@naive ridge oh will do... thanks 🙂 are you able to change the class later if I have a interest in gathering or crafting in the future?
but gotta choose something
you can but it will delevel it to level 1 again
yes, but you know, wow apes always try to land the last attack while moving out

would it be difficult for someone who has never used controller to start?
combat retainers are versatile, they also gather monster mats, which are more troublesome to gather, the other stuff your MC gatherer can do better generally.
im just used to the standard, i dont think i can switch to legacy
also which tab option is preferred generally? ignore depth/cone i believe
Why not use a keyboard and mouse?
its not that i cant i just have some wrist issues lolol
@naive ridge thanks for your help
So if you were to buy the game, you'd need the base game, then endwalker, and tha'ts all the expansions?
I can't answer this, idr those options from the top of my head :(
what's a quick way to get seals besides turning in old armory chest junk
np
turning in old junk is the only way i get seals
I'd get online and check but i'm out of gametime atm
thats the best way
you can just farm junk and get seal cap super fast
damn
i wish we could select multiple items and turn them in 
i set the turn in window's "yes" to be directly over the first item on the list
so i just keep clicking
i do that too

if you want to min max it
you can save up a bunch and then turn it all in at once with the Seal priority allowance buff from squadrons
why do ppl say to heal tank at low hp? isnt it still efficient if its not overhealing
i think it's more of "don't heal when the tank is full hp"
who says that
im a tank main and i never even get healed B)
idk im reading threads and lots of ppl mention to heal at 30 or even 15%
you can get different buff scrolls, its a nice way to spend seals if you have too many
when they say this it actually means "as long as tank's HP dont go below 1 hp, youre good"
iirc, some healer class benefits of having lower hp for healing
its up to you on when you want your healing threshold to be at
those healers are good enough to know when their party is in danger
if not, they can just let them regen and do dps
mine is personally 40% before i benediction because i often end up in a dungeon of bigpullers and autoattacks can seethe tank's HP real fast
They're also probably know the tank. I wouldn't do that with pugs

oh ok, i wasnt thinking aobut regen
im sprout tank just trying to figure out what everyone is meant to be doing
i agree with this
healer's responsibility is to keep your HP above 1
thats the ideal goal, but most healers just set a threshold where they start healing instead
like 30-40% or so
as long as your are properly spacing out your mitigation you're doing fine
the rest is on the healer
Is there a party finder channel in here?
15-20% is too risky and an unlucky clip with an aoe may very well kill you
it depends on the tank and healer,
but they can usually get a feel of the other after the first mob pull and adjust
if i see a tank being a beast, i can take more risks
yea ive been doing fine so far but im pulling really small, only 1 pack on arr dungeons
the most recent time i pulled 2 we wiped lol i think the healer wasnt paying attention thouguh
if i see a healer not managing well, i can slow down the pulls
unless both are undergeared its generally fine to pull wall to wall
remember, healers may be the one responsible in keeping you alive but you also have your own responsibility to, well, not stand in aoes
Remember that arm's length is also a tank cooldown, since it applies a slow to the enemies' attacks
standing in aoe still happens though when youre pulling a massive group from time to time
New tanks often forget to use that ability
To quote jocat, cuz he's funny
Your responsibility is not to heal, it's to keep the party alive and yes there's a difference
and use your mitigations in big pulls
healers have no idea if you will never stand in aoe or if you will accidentally clip an aoe so they will usually set a healthy healing threshold
like about 30-40% or so
if i just have my msq gear does that count as undergeared compared to sync ilvl? i still feel pretty squishy even tho i rotate cds
if you are using them properly, the healer shouldnt be having too hard of a time
Depends where you are
im 49 rn
you should have your Job gear then except the chest
Your job quests should give you some decent gear for that level
what about WHMs using holy for the stun on big pulls 🤔
alrighty thx
you can hold your mitigations as a tank then until the diminishing returns make them no longer stunned
holy is secretly the best healing spell
ive only had holy spam happen once and that wasnt even long ago
yeah thats what i did
tbh i was caught off guard cuz i dont see a lot of WHMs doing that 
they will at higher levels
the stun was a big life changer for my tanking experience
WHM aoe is the most faceroll thing ever
faceroll?
You say that...
easy - as in its so easy you can do it by rolling your face on the keyboard
ahh
Asked a whm to Holy in 75 levelling dungeon got an actual, you don't pay my sub
they're just making their job harder lol
I have been running more lvl60 dungeons
Yeah you get a lot of endgame players in those you need them for relics
they usually just spam anti tower though
are zadnor and BSF cluster drop rate the same?
whats anti-tower
level 60 dungeon
It's the fastest one to clear if you are spamming lvl 60 dungeons for relic
like for anima or is that different?
ooh
resistance weapons
anima weapons also has a step that rewards you for running the 50/60/70 roulette
id do that more if they didnt always put me in 50s .___.
really?
what are those for
one of the relic steps
I just try to have a quest for each step of the relic on at once, so that im always rewarded with something
i brought the starter edition from steam but i cant upgrade from free trial?
how can i do that
if you start your free trial on SE account you cannot use the starter edition
boot up steam
redownload FFXIV
make new account
play there
ok
you can go from SE trial to full steam
yes
mk
how
its only steam trial that doesn't allow you go go to SE full game
apply the cd key to your mogstation account
i did that but i get a error
whats the error
i2501
When I buy the complete game will it provide me character server transfer or nah?
i2501 is a stupid broad error that can be hard to fix. some general suggestions are: try different browser, try mobile data, turn off vpn if you're using one
you dont get a server transfer for buying the game
I fixed this by turning off vpn and using a different browser IE
sometimes i2501 will resolve itself on its own as well
oof guess I'll stay up late and wait for tonberry to open up
is it fine if i send screen shot?
its one of the most popular servers in that region so it will really get hard
ye sure
!faq serverlock
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.
its also prime time afaik for JP
so not quite the best time to try and make a character on a server like tonberry
might have better luck in the morning, i made my character at around 11 am gmt+10
only about a week ago
After I create a character, no need to wait anymore right like I can log in and play any time?
yeap
i'm still dreaming of servers large enough for it be the sole server for the region 🙏
OCE is gonna be getting its own datacenter sometime after 6.0
So for complete game it'll be 60 usd does that include the latest one?
it includes up to shadowbringers
endwalker won't be included until novemeber when it releases
does free trial include till heavensward?
yes
so what does starter edition give then
its the same as free trial just without restrictions
but that said, the free trial doesn't give you ownership of the game
so you still need the starter edition is some form, whether you're buying it by itself or thru complete edition
free trial has limited features
i see
gotta stock up with some ramen noodles on the dorm then so I can save $60 by the time i finish free trial
It's less that the base game doesn't have a lot and more the free trial is stupid generous
Hello, is there a guide about crafting gear ?I left during 5.2 and only came back yesterday so i'm completely lost on that lol
depends on your goals
Melded crafted will be needed to craft lvl 80 4* receipes
it's most about being independant i guess, like crafting my own food, gathering my own ressources
i'm not a craft specialist but i enjoy doing it
if its just for food and pots, its probably cheaper to just buy it off MB this late into the patch
or bulk order off an omnicrafter
otherwise, you can just get the white scrip gear
and work your way from there
custom deliveries should gear you in a few weeks
do we know if cross-dc trade will be possible?
if you want to spend money, fastest is ofc to just buy the crafted aesthetes and meld
If I started as lancer can I become a drk later on? Or do I need to be gladiator
Any class can become a dark knight, you just need to reach hw and be lvl50 as Timon said
except DRK starts at 30
Your previous job/class stay at the level they are at
yep
@twilit arch @daring stone thank u i made it work
all classes lvls are separate except for summoner/scholar, they share the exp together so they're easier to lvl
So I was watching Asmongold doing Ifrit, and after he killed him and didnt get the mount he went back in and just oneshot him?
In that case is there like character level and class level then?
he went back in unsynced
Ohhhh
there are job level and msq level
So you can just farm mounts that way in old content then? Cool
What is msq?
Main Scenario Quests

the main story quests
ye doing old content the legit synced way is not sth lots of people do when farming
is it possible to solo old content??
yes, plenty of old content can be solo
Asmongold seriously brought in so many new players
Yeah he did lmao
Like myself included
Everyone is so sick of wow 😭
tbh i dled it after watching otv wiped so much on the 6th boss on wow but yea asmon too
Hahaha I only started wow last September and I can’t do it anymore
Oh you poor soul
I only lasted 3 weeks on WoW classic o.o
who's otv :o
Try 2 hours 
Lmaoo. Its funny seeing people say asmon wont get through ARR because its so "hard." Lmao he lived through classic wow, ARR is nothing compared to that pain
My friends tried to get me to play it I just couldn’t
it's a small casual streamer group doing wow raid. can't wait for them to try ff14
ahh i see
Does ARR fr take over 50 hours?
Just grind I suppose?
I made my character on spriggan and there’s an exp boost, I’m lvl 27 rn and the quests I’m doing are like 15-20
Oh you're still in the fun part
At the start I just did every quest I saw because I didn’t realize I should just grind msq
Yeah just do msq and job quests
The game is fun until you get to the filler content before HW
Is that the level 50 quests?
Mhm
its not filter
There’s like 50 or smth of them I think I read
filler*
Well its technically filler. Like its content they released to keep people busy before HW im assuming right?
2.1-2.3 are a bit dull
yes but its still story content
Or else there wouldnt have been a credit scene
the game wouldnt work without it
My biggest complaint rn is how during level sync you can’t use all abilities if you’re higher lvl
filler implies skippable or nothing happens …
It kinda makes sense but still annoying
they cut it down about as much as possible in 5.3
Oh i skipped all of it lmao

it still has important stuff in it that's called back later so its not entirely filler
neither is true for those after arr quests
Post X.0 MSQ are basically a wrap up on that expac story and set up for the next
did you also skip crystal tower
It’s good to know that regardless of whether ff is an mmo or not they all have long ass cutscenes
I had to do crystal tower
yes i know

I literally didnt care, I wanted dark knight and I was so close
like events in those quest are still referring to in the newsr expact ¯_(ツ)_/¯
your loss i guess
Im not too worried, I'll get caught up with asmon
And plus the lore looked pretty boring there
Hol up but can’t I just start an expansion if I get to the level required?
no
Nah
I saw in gridania there was a quest to start shadowbringers
expansions are like seasons in a tv show in this
no
It said req level 50
It was a quest to start a job
that isnt a thing
Actually, If I make an alt do I HAVE to level through EVERY expansion again?
That requires shadowbringer to unlock
yes
Ooooh makes sense
Pain
For me there is lmao
Just level the class no?
Basically, the jobs after HW are placed in the 3 starting areas
Cause you know
Maybe locking them to expansion wasn't such a great idea
I don’t know actually lol
I think my Au Ra would look dumb in the little bard set lmaoo
Ah
I was an alt junkie in wow so
Oh shit true
The content was so bad I ended up leveling around 27 alts to max
Also yeah, some job outfits and whatnot look better on other races
Btw with closed helmets do Au Ra’s horns and shit clip thru?

Yupp
It looks amazing with the warrior level 60 set
*50
Uhh
Oh wait it makes it look better?
Well the dk armor at 50 is this blue looking one so personally it doesnt look good
I see
i would say just keep in mind glamour does exist
Oh well
for some dumb reason my character apearance ain’t bloody saved!!! how the hell do I save my character apearance????? I’m at the esthetician and unfortunatly I can’t save my character data
Its hard to get glamour on free trial
you're not forced to go only with the job quests gear for looks
My friends wanted to play together and to party u gotta pay, so I decided sure I’ll pay $10 why not
character data is only for character creation
I only get a handful of flameseals per roluette
its not used at the aethestican
I proceeded to accidentally purchase the game and all the dlcs
But it’s fine now that I plan to actually play thru it all
I though you could at least save the curent one
once you're sergeant second class in your grand company you can use dungeon gear to turn in for seals
Are there other easier ways to get glamour on free trial?
Damn
Im not even close to that rank
no
but then how do I save my character data then?
And I only get like what? a handful of flame seals per daily roluette
Wait so is glamour hard to unlock?
no
No
Oh
Just give a chick some orange juice
you can right click on your character at log in to save their appearance
Why was asmon so like excited
make sure you're doing your grand company hunting log
0.0
and using those for promotions
ok Thanks for the info XD
It made it sound like it was hard to unlock glamour
and cus he already had a good looking set to glam
Understandable have a good day
So this turning in gear for seals thing
They need to be 100% durability im assuming?
nope
no need
quick question
from the looks of it if an attack has a hitbox
and then animation plays
you can walk into the animation and not take any damage?
that’s usually the case yes
usually yes
the damage is taken when the cast bar ends
im guessing falling attack doesnt work that way?
you can go back in once the cast ends even before the animation takes place
Arr is still kinda janky for some stuff
thats generally the case
yea just watch the ping
there's some persisting aoes too, like some dungeon bosses have a cleave aoe telegraph but then cast a pulsing flamethrower inside that area for like 10 seconds

if you have higher ping just do the mechanics earlier
ah pulsing damage
guess that a given
i finished arr msq
kinda wanna try extreme, dunno if that a good idea
👀 there way other than duty finder?
Party Finder
o
it lets you create custom parties

or you could ask your FC to organize one
im not in one atm
i’d advise to hold off doing old extremes til later … like when you finish ShB …
whats the best thing to spend allagan tomestones on at lvl 80?
doing old extremes synced is pmuch for flex purpose imo … so no rush ¯_(ツ)_/¯
some crafting mats in the Other section of Allegory sells decently fast; check your server’s mb for prices
cool ty
Hi, just unlocked gunbreaker and did the first quest, im up to "Hired Gunblades" quest and am undergeared, I read online that when I unlock GNB that I would receive iLvl 225+ armor and weapon but only got a weapon? Am I missing something please?
whoa, thanks for the speedy reply!

I have been playing for about 6-7 weeks now. I am doing post stormblood quests and approaching shadowbringers. I was curious if anyone knows where I can find linkshells for community events like hunt trains and such. (Jenova is my home world)
Do i still have to do the quest "its probably pirates" to unlock Party Finder ?
i am level 18 and still no PF 😮
does whm eventually get some instant heals? i havent unlocked lily yet, but when i was doing the ultima boss it was so hard to heal because of the blue lasers that i had to avoid 24/7 lol
i had no time to sit and cast
yes
for all things hunt
You don't get access to duty finder til you need it
like i have benediction rn
WHM gets a bunch of instant heals
ok that is good to hear then
that they rarely hardcast heals at higher levels
Don't forget to use swift cast
oh really
thank you
yeah
yeah i forget about swift cast sometimes
cure II is your go to when all your instaheals are down
is there anything in particular i should keep from all the material loot im getting while leveling up? i got 2 full tabs right now of bunch of stuff
you get 3 insta heals + an instashield for single target
It's quest locked iirc
and 2 aoe insta heals
yeah i have that heal its just locked
cuz no lily yet lol
have they increased the drop chance for memories of dying?
which one was that from again?
since my friend cant play on kujata/typhon/tonberry, which one should they choose?
Does anyone know if there a samurai gear set that i would need to do the extreme level bosses after realm reborn and where would I get it? Thanks
You mean HW extremes?
I’m pretty new so it’s the primal ones after realm reborn when you unlock extreme level?
Can someone explain bozja leveling to me? I know I need shadowbringers beat and be 71+, but how does gear and all that work in there?
ye ironworks then
How do I get ironworks mate
you just get mettle for doing fates and CE in bozjan souther front
and you report to the commander when you get enough to level up
gear is synced
with poetics tomes. There are vendors for ironworks next to aetherytes in the big 3 cities

So, any
so long as you have something in your gear slot, you're sync to 430
Did you finish ARR?
Yes mate
You can find people selling them in the 3 starter cities, otherwise the merchant is in mor dhona
What do I need to buy them
(x22,y6)
Tomestone of poetics
If you open currency (ctrl +c on pc) or click gil, you can see how many you have there
Yeah I remember getting them from some later dungeons
Also, while you should get the gearset and weapon, I'd hold off on doing any extreme trials atm, they're purely optional and mostly just farmed for mount
I wanted to try kill all the primal extreme level before I move onto the next expansion
Was just to challenge myself lol
holy, i finished ARR and all of a sudden i got a buttload of blue unlock quests
Mostly people do it unsynced at lv 80
i just took em all but now i have like 15 blue quests to do lol
If you want to do it synced you'll need a pre-made party who knows mechanics
I have all DLC registered in mogstation but have only finished ARR MSQ, I cant level passed 60? is there something I have to do first? sorry for the silly question
Yeah I’ll prob have to join a guild finally lol
And/or is willing to fight until yall figure out mechanics
did you register it while still logged into the game
I registered it yesterday or the day before, just started playing again properly since @twilit arch
hrm
Sounds like you only registered base game not shadowbringers
How many codes did you register?
can you screenshot your mogstation?
sure
Can you take screenshot of mogstation where it says your dlcs?
Shouldn't base game still let you lvl past 60 tho? Thought that was a trial restriction
No
base game is only upto 60
I cant post ss
So I need 5k flame seals for the next rank and I cant do my hunting log anymore. Is there a faster way to get flame seals than getting 470 seals a day from the roulette?
No dlc no increased level cap
you can do fates to get seals
does it matter what level?
make sure "shadowbringers" part is yellow
highest level you can do easily
does an option exist, to change the order of the team-overview? (tank, healer, then dps)
instead of showing up first?
since higher lvl fates give better seals for the most part
all yellow except preorder
and you can't level to above 60?
you mean the party list?
i faintly remember soemthing like that existing...
yeah. so that it is always tank, tank, healer, healer for example
sounds like you logged into the wrong account, or you just registered it
well, you're always 1st
but you can change the order of the rest of the party is sorted in
Show us your in game exp bar
ah, that's sad... makes scroll options a little worse i think, but fine...
I thought the light yellow is xp earned and lower opacity level is rested bonus or somehting?
bar hasent moved at all as far as Im aware
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
yeah, it does say that you have gained 0 exp
what happens if you do a quest?
and when did you redeem shadowbringers?
Where are level 50 fates located?
Or a roulette etc.
I cant seem to find any
I just finished hired gunbreakers quest and got none
i was thinking about doing shift+scroll up / down to scroll through the party-list
!quest hired gunbreakers
was the most xp iv seen a quest give so far
select: part member (up / down)
gunbreaker starts at lvl60
do you think that could work well?
yeah so I should have got xp after the 2 biginning quest right or am I missing something?
well, you got that exp in your job you were on at that time
Im sorry, im confused
Did you hand in hired gunblade?
you weren't in gunbreaker class when you were unlocking gunbreaker
yes
That's fucking weird
I did the second GNB quest as GNB xF
so what happens now if you do any other quest?
ill try that now, just wanted to ask before I do more and miss xp lol
Hi, how to unlock warrior class? Already lvl30 n did all marauder quest
if you done all of them, then you should already have the job stone in your armor inventory
hey guys how can I verify if my friend code has been used or not?
Go to Costa del Sol
Need to do the MSQ "Sylph Management", too
I used my coffer to get an antiquated weapon on dragoon but how can I get another one for samurai?
ah yeah, the soul stone is after their first warrior quest, not last marauder quest
I see
Hey, just cameback after a long break, have around 270 item level but I need 330 to continue msq, do I just queue for lvl70 dungeons?
i got the coffer from a msq iirc
I guess im not there yet for the msq
logged back in and the XP bar has moved, not sure what happend there, maybe my internet was acting up
Just arrive at scion
Thanks for the help!
Then you have a bit left
Ok2 thanks
with some luck, you might have left over poetics to buy ilvl400 gear with
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Where is the vendor for poetics again?
oh yknow, every town has em now, but i still go to idyllshire
Thank you! It’s been a long while!
Shouldn't ilvl 400 be in rhalgars?
...........oh im being a dumbass, ilvl400 lvl70 gear is locked behind stormblood
LMAO

Idllyshire is for 270, 400 is rhalgr/kugane and is locked behind finishing base stormblood
man, who even remembers the rhalgr vendor
No early poetics access from stormblood on
Oh i see thank you!

If you got some silver chocobo feathers from before you can use those
Or buy some cheap ish gear off MB
You're expected to do your level 70 job quest to be geared for the stormblood finale
I am level 18 and i am doing the first dungeon, it says i am a dps, i want to be a healer.. whats up? (it says i am an arcanist)
arcanist is not a healer
arcanist is a dps, but when you get to 30 and can get your job you can become a healer (scholar)
what are the two golden squares to the right of action bar for?
In E10S does the shadow of the boss always face forward of this weird shadow on the ground?
its your job gauge, some skills require them to be used
I see... how do I fill it? basic spells?
by using energy drain
you can fill it by pressing the 4 in your hotbar
!action energy drain
ohh
which is energy drain
Blue arrow being the direction the boss’s shadow is oriented, what then matters is the position they’re in such as a lifted arm/tail etc
you can change class if you want
but yeah The shadow always faces forward
will take lots of time
depends on its hands, head, tail
So basically if the tail is the indicator for the implosion attack, I go further in front of that shadow thing right?
Like, my question is if it's necessary to get close to it to see the boss
in the doodle example, if the tail was up, anything west of the arrow is safe yeah
I usually keep my camera at an intercardinal so I can always see the shadow
hallo, when is the maintenance day?
haven't had an announcement for maint
maintenance for what?
ohhh, ffxiv dont have weekly maintenance?
No
level 20 = I can get a mount??
next maint is gonna be next monday tho
since 5.58 is gonna release on 20th
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
rip
is it gonna be the crossworld travel stuff? :o
hmmm
same lol, i wish they make it so that you can get mounts earlier
so it will come naturally? @glossy flare
I mean it is very early, all things considered
no u have to do a specific quest
it's also a character unlock, so any other lvl 1 job you level with have a mount from the get go
The msq will very clearly point you towards it but the quest itself is a 
which only unlocks after you join a grand company
hmmm

I didnt choose a company yet, so it will come soon I assume
Hey, quick question. Been trying to create a character on one of the two exp boosted worlds of chaos for 3 days straight. Seems to be full at all times. Am I missing something?
help
my MSQ now is "Feint and Strike"
you need to do it after peak times i think
still a bit to go, you're at msq lvl 14
oof
20 is when the mount quest appears
😢
does the level of random recruits depend on my lowest level member in squadron?
How do I go about getting a second job to level 15 without the msq, what are some of my options?
so far
nah, 15 to 20 is very fast
!faq altlvlguide
Been trying that, but guess I'll just have to keep trying. Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something. Thanks!
time will tell
i did hunting log, duty, and FATEs
thanks btw! @glossy flare
is there a way to turn of certain system sounds because i want to be able to use things like <se.5> but the ability error sounds are so annoying
why does this keep happening
i have a naccount to sqaure enix
logged in
but when i log out
it wont accept my creds
any error codes?
do you have idyllshire unlocked?
you can spend them on better poetics gear for lvl 60
there should also be a poetics vendor near the ishgard aetheryte as well
ah then you havent unlocked it yet, no worries
what poetics gear should gunbreaker use?
the lvl 60 one in idyllshire
tanking
You go there at 58 story
have you unlocked ishgard?
welp, there's no gear of tanking, therefore the question
the game is paced kinda awkwardly yeah, you'll be 80 before you finish stormblood
there's a poetics vendor near the aetheryte
Shire custodian I think is the name
Only after heavensward
ah
thx
thats kinda cringe
Starting in stormblood you won't get poetics access for that expansion until you finish the base expansion
