Well it's more shire is special that you can get it earlier
You can get ironworks early too
How early
Mor dhona
Cause you won't get tomes
Which iirc you can walk straight into
Until you do castrum and praeotirum
Okay boys. I was betrayed. I thought this is it, the farm is over, the eons of queuing trials for poetics is over, but... the world is cruel
I figured out, that the best way to farm this is
The most efficient way to farm aetheric density is generally considered to be to gather at least 4 max-level players and repeatedly run Alexander: The Eyes of the Creator (Savage), also known as A9S, unsynced.
Is there any chance of me, the lvl 70 DRK with zero experience, getting a slot for this "Alexander something"?
Yeah
People unsync it all the timr
But like... I think they just don't need me as part of the group cuz they are geared lvl 80s and im lvl 70 sprout who will do dumb things.
Hi there. I'm level 43 and I still have the base accessories except for one that dropped in the first dungeon. Is there some kind of shop to get accessories that keep up with my level like the vendors for armor and weapons ? I am currently playing the free trial so market board is not an option.
The fight is just let the 80s do what they do, and you get a few hits in
Don't worry about accessories until after arr
You don't get any good accessories until then
Okay, you enhanced my humble soul with hope. How can I like... find the group that does this?
use the party finder
Party finder
Okay, thanks
party -> party finder
Make sure Alexander is unlocked
Thank you.
yeah make sure youve done the questline and unlocked the savage
Just put in the description Light farm A9s or something and people will get it
Do I have to complete "normal" and "hard" version to do so?
there's no hard version, just the normal one
It’s just normal for raids
once you've finished the raids, you can go unlock the savage
They stop calling stuff (hard) right at the end of heavensward iirc
Thanks.
is this just a skin or a real mount?
a real mount
you can get it after getting all the bird mounts from the HW extreme trials
I don’t know what you mean by a skin anyway
well that's cool thanks
yeah there really isnt anything thats similar to skins
unless maybe chocobo bardings or chocobo coloring lol
how does one get more venture badges?
you mean the ventures for retainers?
yeah 🙂
buy them from your grand company
is ACT naturarely bugged in encounters where the boss becomes untargetable in certain parts of the fight? Was fighting Xande and ACT would reset even the encounter time each time he left the platform
best way is to trade items for grand company seals then use the seals to buy ventures
you have to set up this encounter timeout to a higher number. by default its like 10sec or something, so it resets after 10sec of you not fighting
@neat umbra how do you trade items with your grand company for seals?
I see, going to look around in the potions trying to find it
expert delivery
Is there any chance someone knows which of the items i could destroy to clean some space? I had a very long break and not sure which items i can remove
even the epic one?
i see some class-armor, you can put them in your glamour dresser if you want to keep them for looks
What about the skin could i use it later for skin?
@tropic flame oh but you need a certain rank with your Grand company to do expert deliverys
can you put items into your glamour dresser after extracting materia from them?
yes they just need to be fully repaired
most class gear you can buy back anyway, even if you do sell it
so don't worry too much
This channel is for new or returning players to ask questions about Final Fantasy XIV. As a reminder this channel is a troll free and an off-topic free zone. For general discussion please use #general-discussion or #beginner-lounge. <@&473626701947994134> are available to help in this channel. Thank-You, Kupo!
It will cost you one glamour prism per piece of gear to store in the glamour dresser
When it comes to keeping gear, I only do it if I'm gonna be leveling something that uses that gear in the near future, or I really like the look of it
Otherwise I yeet it into the garbage, and/or desynth it
Is there a faster way to farm flame seals? I cant turn in gear for seals yet and Ive already done my hunters thing. Ive been farming fates for about 2 hours and Im only at 3k when I need 5k
anyone know how to remove the GC sticker from my PLD shield?
If it's even possible
Its so ugly, poking my eye out

You could also do company leves, and some roulettes give seals as well
company leves?
And the roulettes give me like 200 per day so its not an effiecent way for me to do em
They're like normal leves, except issued by grand companies in certain areas
I have no clue what leves are 💀
A leve is like a repeatable generic quest, they're usually around the different zones near settlements
The icon is like a grey rectangle with an exclamation point
Ohhhhh
If you have a job that's "in need" you get a lot more seals from roulette
do I really only get 12 tomes for completing a hard trial?
That's not pog 
If you want tomes quick, the best way is in fact hunt trains
for e12s, part 1 and part 2 must done all the time right? cant directly start wth part 2?
They're considered a single fight, so yes you must do both
Hey guys, If I bought a fantasia to change my character, how do I access it in game?
It's mailed to you like everything is
is there's something like a chest where I can store some gear?
is guild for jobs exclusive to the city? Like for example i cant find pugilist in gridania?
hmm not in my delivery moogle 😦
is it possible to do the coils of bahamut solo unsynced at lvl 70?
i mean the master or something, the one who gives quest
is crystal tower necessary?
It's mandatory yes
as a leveler?
yes
oh
You should honestly do the raids even if they aren't mandatory
They are really good
leveler? thought it was for SB to ShB 
Hang on what do you mean by leveler? You don't just spam it if that is what you mean
Yea, gotta go to the respective city
The alliance raid roulette is good for xp per day though
can i ignore BiS and just stay with i530 aug cryptlurker gear?
Sure
hi how do you make the midgardsormr minion sit on ur shoulder?
Bis is only for people who want to push for slightly higher dps numbers
why wouldn't you be able to?
not way to force him to sit on your shoulder, does it when he feels like it
will the challenge log reset before the make it rain event? or should i save the challenge log for the start of it?
what a guy
Very stubborn
The challenge log resets weekly at reset.
is there any non rule breaking way to buy gil?
also since the phantom train is in the game will i get a chance to suplex it?
I wish, unfortunately no
No but there's a reference to it
No suplexs
Gil isn't even really that valuable in-game anyways, except for buying and furnishing a house or if you're hardcore into glamour.
I don't understand, don't they offer a way to buy level 70 in a job
thanks
Skips are primarily for alts
They do with real money
Not gil
I have a question. When Yoshida talked about the Viera hairstyles. Did he say new hairstyles would come specifically for Viera or did he mean that the issue with existing modern aesthics is getting resolved and we'll soon be able to equip those? I didn't quite understand
we'll be able to use existing hairstyles
Actually in a sense I guess buying job level and story skips does give you Gil so that is technically buying Gil without breaking rules but that's a huge fucking waste
I can pay for extra retainers, isn't that a way to vastly increase gil earning capabilities
Yes and no
the nin AF showed off a viera with the ponytail hairstyle, and he mentioned the lightning hair
oof
I'm off to buy all the hairstyles I can from the MB
before it becomes too expensive
Oh actually speaking of hairs is that benchmark "contest" thing still going on?
hello, im lvl 23, how do i unlock more of these?
Having more retainers can potentially increase your gil earning capabilities, but they bring back as much trash as they do items of value no matter how many you have.
Different levemetes give different level leves@plain lichen
I meant more the increase in market capacity
july26th is the last day to enter @wintry chasm
ahhh i see
I can't quite remember where you want to go for level 20... I think Quarrymill?
In South Shroud
do you guys think its worth getting extra retainers? and if so how many?
Eh I have 3 and it works well enough for me
I don't usually max out selling slots and it has just enough inventory for me
Again, it's only a potential increase in your gil earning. People would need to want to buy the things that you're putting up to sell. And even there, it's more like front-loading your sales. There's no real difference in the amount of gil earned or the impact on the in-game market if you list a bunch of stuff all at once with 8 retainers or over a longer time period with 2.
What do you mean?
? i meant i dont want to do e12s and just want to stick with some aug cryptlurker gear
Actual bis would be better, but even just full Aug cryptlurker is significantly better than what is required for any content in the game
i just hit lvl 50, can i do something for a better weapon?
If you're not doing high-end progression content there's no reason to go for full BiS.
i do want to do TEA though
What about your msq
I hear what you're saying yeah, but imagine filling a lake with water, it's always gonna go quicker if you have a bigger pipe so long as you don't run out of product right
When you start getting tomestones of poetics by doing the final base game content onwards you can buy a item level 130 weap and armour on Mor Dhona @turbid basin
Use tomestones of poetics (earned from level 50 instances) to purchase an Ironworks weapon. Otherwise, just do MSQ until you can do that.
Most tea groups that would form these days would probably want an e12s clear as table stakes
okay thanks
Except that a market isn't like a pipeline to a lake. It's like a faucet. No matter how much water is in the pipe, if nobody turns the tap (wants to buy something), then the water doesn't go anywhere.
games pretty popular yo, always people thirsty for my faucet
Depends on what you're trying to sell.
I would argue at patch releases there's a lot more demand than two retainers can supply
But aside from that
And whether other people are also trying to sell the same things.
Again depends what you're selling, Aura is right. It gives more potential for Gil making but it's not a guarantee and you're realistically not going to get that bonus because you'd have to keep stocking your retainers 24/7
yeah true, but then combined with the extra stuff from ventures it seems like a pretty direct cash to gil flow trade
Having more retainers means you can put up and forget more niche, buy high value stuff
Not as much as you might expect.
You'd be surprised how shit ventures tend to be
yeah like weird high quality items required for crafting quests
is the completion bonus a 1 time thing?
Basically, I wouldn't get more retainers from a market slots perspective unless you really intend to get into crafting (Savage)
You get a first time completion bonus per class for Guildhests.
If you need the bank space, that's another thing.
yeah but every job has a completion bonus
The tab with the ? on it.
The question mark
That's roulettes.
ohh that one
what are generally the best ways of earning gil at the moment?
exps really low on that one 
Craft items that sell well
Sorry, but I have to ask because you've just asked about two systems that we generally tell people not to bother with since they're pretty shit xp - are you leveling your first job, or is this for an alt or just for fun? @plain lichen
the exp given from roulette isn't shown because it scales
so don't judge adventurer in need bonus as the roulettes
Bozja is decent, maps are always at least okay
my 1st one
Crafting, especially right now, requires a bit of insight and research to really make money
Literally just a matter of looking at the marketboard and seeing what's hot which can depend on time and server
In that case, I'll tell you what we tell all new players: don't bother with levequests and guildhests. Do your MSQ and your job quests. This isn't a game where grinding levels quickly and early is really valuable. Everything is locked behind MSQ 
is this website the best lost action tracker?
Use this little helper to find all Lost Actions in Bozja Southern Front for Final Fantasy XIV Online
or do you guys have
a different resource
Don't bother unless you want to
The actual best way to make money rapidly is on patch releases
How do you get glowy red weapons? I see a lot of ppl in cities using them
But none of those are coming until checks notes November
Oh and other
are still important
yeah feels like to me the MSQ is the only thing you should bother with, it's all I've done and I'm not even 80 yet just finishing stormblood
Bit vague but could be the kinna weapons from palace of the dead?
There are... a large number of possibilities. Most are relic weapons, but there are also some crafted weapons from EX trials that glow like that, PotD weapons, etc.
MSQ completion is the real max level right
Yes
I would recommend doing the side content like raids and stuff though and not skip them Fast
Ohh cuz it seems like a skin that just replaces the weapon when it’s seen on somebody but it looks like reddish black glow when stowed
And job quests
I did the sun tower raid chain, and then I finished all the alexander chain too
plus got an anima weapon
but still lvl 79
Ngl that still feels hard to tell but I'm still sticking with maybe the kinna weapons?
Maybe if you could show us a screenshot?
most anima activities dont give exp though
yeah I just got into glamour and wanted a cool looking weapon while I quested
I agree with Calisaie that it's most likely the PotD weapons, since most other weapons that glow only do so when unsheathed, and look like normal weapons otherwise.
Also it's reddish black anyway
EX weapons don't glow when sheathed
@open coral a little like this
Some ppl had this in towns and cities while afk and it was just sitting in their back. Some were bows and swords one guy had it as an axe
That's the kinna weapons
That looks like... Hades weapon, maybe? Or were those purple?
It was like dark red black style with some glow
Oh, kinna weapons then.
ye kinna
Those are purple yeah Aura
You get those from palace of the dead
I'm bad at ID-ing a lot of the grindier gear because I don't have the patience to get it for myself 😄
Maaaan they look good I want one lol
Do the amount of flame seals you get from fates depend on how much effort you put in? I just got 30 seals from one lmfao
Fate?
Gotta do PotD then.
yes haha
I was doing potd for a while now. Wasn’t sure when I’d get loot tho?
From fates it's based off of the rank you get.
whats PotD ?
Yes. It's based off rank and FATE level.
I think it's also based on the level of the leve
It was a 52 fate
!faq potd
!faq potd
Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.
For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.

for Kinna specifically, you wont see it for a loong time …
Gdi
lol
duty complete
You get the ability to get those weapons from trading your aetherpool levels
It doesnt really drop, you have to get your weapon and armor level to certain point to get it
Ah okay fair. I’m at lvl 50 or 60 floor atm
Man seals are a pain to farm
Level 52 FATE and you only got 30 seals? You must've gotten bronze ranking then.
Don't use FATEs to farm seals.
Do your grand company portion of the hunting log
I have to
That's what you should do
The kinna weapons are a decent size grind.
That's the way to madness.
I dont have anything else to farm
Yeah when you don't have expert delivery, seals are a pain
I did my roulette, i did my hunting log
What rank are you?
And I cant turn in gear yet
Ah
Make sure you rank up asap :V
If you complete the Grand company hunting log you should have enough tokens to get rank for gear turn in
Uhh, I dont remember. Its the rank right before you can turn in gear
Unlock crafting and gathering and do those supply missions
Unless you've wasted seals somewhere
What rank do I need again to turn in gear?
2nd sergeant?
sergeant second class
Damn
The seals I got from the hunting log only got me to corporal
Does the hunt board give me anything?
am i able to use 2 of the same rings?
Gotta do fates@astral badge
assuming they aren't unique, then yes
People were telling to me do fates earlier lmao
sorry i only replied now I was inside a dungeon, what if im behind the level of MSQ?
But I dont see a point in that, I got 30 seals from doing a level 52 fate
the fact you got only like 20 seals or whatever means you didn't get full credit on the fate
ah ic ty
I started them too, which was weird
Wait I need chief sergeant to buy glamour prisms-
You're level 23 and behind the MSQ level on your first class? That... should not be possible.
52 fates would be like atleast 200 seals
Man why is glamour so hard to get
it's not actually my 1st class, i switched somewhere at lvl 15-20 from Thauma-something mage
when exactly do you reach heavensward?
Ahh, okay, that makes sense then. What class are you trying to level now? Recommendations on better sources of xp (and what level you're trying to get to for MSQ) will change depending on the role of that class.
80 quests after Ultimate weapon
80 quests after "The Ultimate Weapon"
The quest “coming to Ishgard ”
im using pugilist now
what should i do in golden saucer for its currency? is there a guide from 0?
!faq mgpguide
@faint flare @open coral thats the quest for your relic weapon right?
No
oh
Hmm, in that case you'll want to be doing Halatali (optional unlock dungeon - unlocked through the
"Hello Halatali" in Vesper Bay) or Copperbell Mines (level 17 dungeon - unlocked through MSQ so you should have it) if you haven't already unlocked Palace of the Dead.
Yeah you’re like 100+ msq quests away @river wagon
what's R300?
rating 300
thanks
sheeesh
But basically, just do your highest level leveling dungeon available until you reach your MSQ level.
is it true that some of the abilities for your job are locked until you reach heavensward?
thanks
yes
Yep
by highest leveling dungeon u mean the one in duty finder 1st tab, titled leveling?
i want to do chocobo race what part i have to go?

Post arr doesn’t give much exp
Do I need to be a certain as an alchemist to craft glmaour prisms?
Not leveling roulette, the specific dungeons. Second tab. Select the highest level dungeon you have available and run it until you can either do the next dungeon on the list or you've reached your desired level.
Any crafter at 15
Gotcha
Except Cul, because you know
Do any of the relic replicas have the shiny thing?
Question about the free to play only to lvl 60, how does it work?
You just play the game
You get to play up to patch 3.55, and you can level every available job to level 60
What about sub?
no sub
I have a question about Twintania mount... does it have to be returning players that you recruit, or can it be complete newbies that use your invitation code from mogstation? Are the golden chocobo feathers the same?
until you buy
It’s like just owning the base game except you don’t own it
can be new players as well
same feathers
has to be someone who has never paid for a sub
So if my sub runs out, I can still play, but it'll just be really limited?
no
no
No
You can’t do the trial if you’ve bought the game already
its there to let people try out the game to see if they wanna pay for it
Anyone having lag issues this morning?
once you've paid for you cannot go back to trial
So you dont go back to free trial once your sub runs out?
Oh-
Yikes
I might just stick with the free trial 💀
Stick with the free trial until you cant handle the restrictions anymore
I was gonna buy the game just so I dont have to learn crafting or farm seals to get glamour lmao
I'm new to the gold saucer, any reason my challenge log for it is so small? I see people in videos have way more gold saucer challenges. This is all I have
You haven’t unlocked the other things
You haven't finished the
to unlock other shit

Craft
Ahh
you can try do leves
or turn in gc and get free xp
they give good crafting xp
or firmament method
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
I'm new, looking at the server lists for once I get the game downloaded. Is there any difference in the servers besides which group theyre in?

is that yours or his screen?
his stuff
do gametime codes really only work for NA's?
my screen, im inspecting him on that pic
that reward is just for healer right? and the actual reward is based on my level right?
ah,, but the gear below is?
EU probably has exchange rate issues with time codes, like having to sell gametime in russia at like 2 dollars so its affordable there etc
given the events of yesterday, is now a good time to play FF XIV?
the bottom reward is only give if you're healer, since that's the current in need role. the top part (with the arrows pointing up) is the daily roulette reward @plain lichen
what happen yesterday ?
crafted gear, item lvl 10, 11, 8, 8, 12
Question about Red Mages;
Don't they ahave access to Relic weapons?
ahhh i see the arrow pointing up confused me
at 70 and 80 yes
Darn
tldr, so many new players joined the game that Square Enix stopped selling the game to prevent the servers from imploding
how do I get the exp earrings
or something along those lines
oh damn
tbh now is the best time for somebody new to come and play, a lot of new people to learn the game with
I just got the Zenith weapon for my PLD but the next job quest isn't until HS
Preorder Endwalker, redeem preorder code and wait
I was farming Odin yesterday. There was like 4-5 new clears in the group in every run
i agree shorter que time on earlier dungeon because of this influx :3
super weird, idk how to fix that issue. the quest shows up as red on their map?
plus you get to play with people who are first timers, it sucks to be the only sapling in dungeons with the others rushing through it
Anyone know a good guide for racing chocobo breeding?
otherwise, try logging out and in again

I think you have to craft that one
craft or buy from the marketboard
ah so if its marked untradable we still can sell on mb ?
yep
thx
No
Untradeable means untradeable
cant give it to anyone else
oh okay
What's enmity?
Aggro
I've never seen something untradable and marketable
Because the two are mutually exclusive
"Desynth Level: An Error occurred processing Desynthesis"
Hmm
can i farm eden's promise normal for tokens or is it on a weekly lockout?
i got this message after doing The striking tree (hard) for a msq what is spiritbond?
You can extract and create materia
what is materia :p
The games Gems
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
oh those little gems i got fomr quests
materia is only really used at endgame
Greetings! I want to start playing this game, and I have question about the Steam version. If I pre-order, or buy later Shadowbringer expantion, will I get all previous ones, or I still would need to buy them?
well that pice of gear dosent have any of those green circles?
then you can't meld it
the complete edition has everything
then what dies it mean that "the spiritbond is complete"?
If you buy shadowbringers you'll get all previous expansions, if you preorder Endwalker you'll get all previous expansions WHEN Endwalker releases in November
Hey whats the best way to do this?
Delubrum
Delubrum
Drops 3 per run
like disenchanting it fto get materia?
2 iirc
Can be cleared in 15mins
thank you
Ideally, join a Delubrum speed run group in Party Finder
It's 3 per run
I'm thinking raw emotions
kinda, but low level materia isnt worth the time
ah ok il just ignore it and such for now
ye
You used to lose the item when converting it to materia, but now you keep it. so it's just free materia 📈
is the potd memory droprate boosted too now that delebrum drops 3?
no
The matched floors always had a low drop rate
Ah, sorry, it is Endwalker that will be released in November. Thank you for expaining it!
100 and under is low, 101-150 is high, 151+ guaranteed
Potd is only worth it if going to 200
is it true that the digtal copies sold out?
They ran out of keys yesterday, I think they're back up now
its either a good sign or bad lol
Def good
So Im level 15, how do i start to craft prisms?
It's all a linear story so it's impossible to own an expansion you can't play
Glamour unlock quest is in Vesper Bay, and there's a merchant there that sells crafing tomes that let you convert clear prisms into glamour prisms
which like class to lvl 15 asap is easiest, class as in cook, mining, fishing
They're all pretty fast, especially when you unlock Grand Company quests
I got to level 15 as an alchemist in like 20 minutes
alright thanks
i just dont really know which one to benfit the quickest becuase im new to that field
is it advised to look at a guide before doing castrum fluminis or is it fine going in blind the first time?
I wouldn't be so sure because a lot of the wow toxicity will come to XIV
My advice, do the Grand Company supply and provision missions to level up. You don't even need to get the stuff yourself, just get it cheap from the MB
is there a way to fix this
I think people are making it more of a problem than it actually is imo
^^
its fine to go in blind for msq content
change settings before you launch?
the settings are like
just particles and sfx
TY
drag the window til you can see the full screen button on the right then click on it
life saver
thats how i did it
i was about to yeet it
its testing if you can run EW on high
damn my computer is being judged rn
yeah, its a benchmark, you are getting judged harshly
; - ;
insufficient
You have been weighed, you have been measured and you have been found wanting
Whats a good score
20k
Sadly the npc unlocks at lv50
LMFAO 1000
or add it at !faq benchmarkscores
potato pc
No, it unlocks at 15
I think you need to be orange or more important to do that
why does it need to be pinned or faq'd
I still dont understand how to craft glamour prisms
i shall pray return to the start of the benchmark
I dont see in in my crafting log
It's under master crafting
I dont know where that is
Just buy them with gc seals
Oh i see-
Just sell ur armor
Click on the button to the right of the list of levela
:<
wait do all mounts shapeshift when they go into flying mode?
Cant
wdym shapeshift
Not at that rank
oh
Not really shapeshift, but some kind of mode switch
I suggest ranking up so u dont have to worry about buying prisms
no, not every mount has a different animation for flying
Or cordials
ok ok
Like the magitek armor tucks its legs in

I want to but im at a point where I have to farm 200 seals per fate
And thats just
Not fun
No really, some have different flight animations, some just float. The car from ffxv is super impressive
You'll get seals from levelling roulette
yeah, 470 seals a day
I already did that
okay thanks
damn i got fairly high
Im at 1k, and I need 5k to get to the rank to turn in gear
ill try to redo it again
Also people tell me to go to goberin to get the crafting recipe for glamour but he doesnt sell shit
He sells glamour prisms but not the recipe
People on reddit have no idea what they're doing
You have to do the quest with the roegadyn lady first
I did lmfao
There is def a vendor in Vesper Bay that sells craft recipes
yeah i've heard regalia is expensive
As a crafter?
it looks sweet on the flying mode tho when it goes Type F
you're reading old information. goberin was how you originally got the recipes
How do i get them now?
if you did the glamour unlock in vesper bay, you need to go to vesper bay and do the quest there to unlock them
I have glamour
!quest Absolutely Glamourous
You need to talk to her as a lvl 15? I think Disciple of the Hand to unlock Goberin's stock
Is the quest, "absolutely glamorus?"
yes as i just linked it
ive already done if i had glamour
How come when I draw cards the seal isnt showing up, is there something else I need to do?
It's a diff quest
Oh
what lvl are you
did u unlock the three slots for the seals
Currently on hw and need a ilvl of 105 and I’m at 104. The current dungeon closest to my level isn’t giving gear to get me to 105. What’s a good thing to boost that number by one?
u have to draw cards in combat
what level are you
I was doing it in town just testing the system
54
60
ok then yes you need to be in combat to receive seals
get ur ironworks
ironworks gear with poetics is 130
playing cards outside of combat won't generate seals
Alright
this is a pain
Time to raid bby!
Check out Ironworks Gear in rev Toll, it's more than enough
Plays Solitaire in corner
Makes sense though since my current job is drk
draws card as soon as they kill the last add in a dungeon
how often are there expansion sales for this
3 times a year?
It won't be on sale for a while after EW releases though
The most consistent
gmg's ended
i wont really need to buy it any soon tho but wanted to know
i guess when endwalker releases there will be a sale?
No, but you can buy the complete edition that includes Endwalker. So that's kinda like a sale.
Not really bc you get all the expacs at once
Is there a way to send gild between my old character and new one but the thing is that they are on different realms
Or you could buy the starter edition now and wait for EW
You need a third party to hold the money
Like another person
Im trying to get into the thick of learning about my class properly. Is there a very good astroligian guide, either written or a video idm
I just kinda want something I can just refer to for a bit
Eh, Im solo wolf player so that wont work
i see on the website that the starter edition includes ARR and Heavensward, I thought that is included in the free trial?
oh yea
YOO the ARR after patches are more Boring than the actual expansion
Yep, it's the same thing but without the free trial restrictions
It is, but you also get caps and other trial limitations removed
Does anybody know usually how much it takes for the support centre to answer? Opened a ticket like 3 hours ago
Keep with it, it gets good. Theres a lot of running around yeah
We call it "The Great Filter" because if you can make it through it, you're laughing and golden
@faint flare What about putting something overpriced on market with alt and buying it with main?
Would that work?
You could but you'll waste abit of money due to taxes
@glacial monolith up to full day
How can I check ping on pc?
If 3 hrs ago then most likely they will answer in 2-3 hour
As a paladin, do i just do my best to have damage reduction at all time or have high levels of damage reduction but have less uptime on it?
@safe raptor iirc u cant
i thought that what happens after ARR,, didnt know its after the patches .. the patches is almost just as long 
I remember there is a command you can use to tell you how
what
!ping
!faq checkping
- Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
- Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
- Press enter
PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/
Ty
Spread out your mitigation
jamba what level r u on paladin and what content do you do
I said impressive, not expensive. Last time it was only 200k mgp, that's not a lot especially with make it Rain next week
You can try checking here to see where youre at, its a spoiler-free quest list
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/860767116197363722/864231231113920552/hnwtswhxzca71.png
45 and just dungeons atm
You cycle Cooldowns 1 by 1
same as this right ? https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests
this
You don't stack Cooldowns unless necessary
Thats what i thought, thanks
oh ok
So when Rampart drops off, hit Hallowed Ground, etc. For example
Leave hallowed til last. You probably won't need it
Or first to carry a big pull
Hallowed can be used Proactively, too
if a pull is sometimes overwhelming stack sheltron reprisal and arms length@blazing sorrel
but i doubt that will ever happen
Yeah I learned recently that Hallowed isn't a panic button lmao
is it always advised to do the duty roulettes every day?
If you want xp Yes
If i play well i dont think that’ll happen tbh
Not all of them, but many are good. Leveling, Expert, Trial, sometimes Alliance - it depends on what you want to get (EXP, endgame currency, etc.)
There's no downside, so yeah
how do I check my mail I have 2 mails in the icon top right
do you pull w2w?
The 50/60/70 roulette is a poor source of XP, so don't run that unless you're after Tomestones of Poetics
Mail moogles in town
Marked on maps
Go find a mail moogles letter on minimap
huh really?
Sorry but idk what w2w is
what about main scenario
yep
wall to wall
Best xp but takes an hour
like pulling until you reach the next boss room
Alliance, levelling and msa give the most xp
When I try to queue up for Duty Roulette for the lvl 50/60/70 dungeons, it says I have 2 requirements I have not met yet, but I don't know what they are, has anyone else run into this before?
LOTS of exp but the time commitment is heavy. Cant skip cutscenes so about an hour yeah
Like pulling agro?
Main scenario gets you either catrum or Prae. Good tombstone source
why cant I put materia in heavensward gear?
Whats the fastest way to get water/lightning crystals on free trial?
Whatever class you're running it on, there has to be 2 dungeons unlocked that you qualify for
meaning you need to be the appropriate level and item level
Gathering
ok so i made my character in the benchmark, how do people take those gposes wth
yeah pulling many mobs at the same time and stopping once theres none left
Man I just want some damn glamours
Leveling up Miner/Botanist, and gathering them yourself
If there are multiple people in your party, there needs to be at least 2 dungeons that ALL of you qualify for separately
Anybody ever bought things in the optional items for the wrong character and asked support if they can help ?
ooohh I see, thank you, is there a way to see which things I'm unqualified for still?
Duty finder shows everything you can do if you cycle the tabs
The description in the Duty Finder will say what the recommended item level is (meaning: required item level)
I dont think im good enough in the game to do that as of yet, and i want the exp atm
i am unable to login to my client. it keeps saying "ID or password is incorrect"
Which gear? Much of it can be melded, but they only allowed us to start melding in the middle of the Heavensward line of patches somewhere.
and dungeons you haven't unlocked yet won't show up in Duty Finder, so go unlock a bunch
there are at least a dozen in Mor Dhona
What level do I need to be to gather these fuckin crystals?
Otherwise just keep going through MSQ and look for blue quest markers
its okay always take your time with something if you are not familiar with it
practice by pulling like two sets of mobs at the same time
Thank you!!
the gear i got from heavesward quests so far does not show up on the melder, and they have materia sockets
and always notify your healer if youre planning to pull big
Like level 1-5 for Shards, level 20ish for Crystals
By utilizing the tank stance and the taunt right?
Oh ok
yeah always have the tank stance on
just by touching things with tank stance on you'll generate enough aggro/enmity
Im just gonna buy the game so I can access the board fuck this lmao
you dont need taunt for mobs
a single aoe can hold enemies for a while as you're pulling
its mostly for tank swaps
I see
since tank stance multiplies aggro generation 10x it's hard as hell for someone to pull aggro off you
doubt he's reached full party content yet
I heard if a healer heals a bunch that can happen no?
well now he knows he doesnt need it
a TON, maybe
hey taunting on mobs doesnt help though i always do that @blazing sorrel
It's impossible to lose aggro
but there's no need to heal until you're in 1 place
Only if you miss mobs
since taunting has a bigger range than shield throw
and once you're in 1 place, you'll be generating MORE aggro
Any gear in specific? Like a Ramie Doublet or a Totanium Mail or smth?
and it's impossible to lose it at that point
the only risk of losing aggro is like they said, during mid-pull prior to you sitting still in one place
if you missed a mob
How should i start a mob encounter usually?
pieces like this one
!action total eclipse
So i shield throw then aoe?
or this
Do i always do the combo aoe?
Yes
do the combo aoe on the next 3 mobs you see
so you'd run over, aoe mob pack 1, run, aoe combo mob pack 2
Yah should be meldable. As long as you have materia in your inventory and you're wearing the piece
Side note that you shouldnt have to worry about melding gear while leveling because you replace gear so quickly - so if you dont its ok.
and then stand in one spot and tank it all
then if you're not comfortable with more enemies, stand still and spam aoe combo
always stand in a place that isnt facing your team
watch your health to see if you're comfortable with pulling more, then use that as a guide on how many to pull after
kk, maybe Im blind 😛 ill just ignore it for now
if your teams drg is standing in front of you taking damage its not ur fault
Ok
So i use it once every 6s right?
It costs gauge
you probably don't have enough gauge to do that i don't think
During in an encounter
if u can yeah sure
It'd your short defensive Cooldown
you'd rotate your other cooldowns in as well if you don't have enough
arms length for one
works on normal enemies, not bosses
I heard you can convert shards to crystals right? How do I do that?
arms length with rampart
just started voyce of consern
i tend to prio arms length --> reprisal --> rampart
am I gonna get Scholar rn?
No that's an unlock quest for Sylph beast tribes
i always use arms length in huge pulls that usually happen in the third w2w
can't convert shards into crystals
need help to fix this, i just wanna try the free trial. cant even download it
You cant
?
Then whats the point in them?
Man I just want to glamour holy fuck
And then clusters
in the pull before the final boss fight
those are usually the biggest
Did you already use the Crystals you were given?
So i accidently deleted the weapon for a PGL loadout that i use for my menu macros, and now i cant load it up. Idk what the weapon was, is there any way to view or fix it short of buying every fist arm
And I just assumed there would be more ways to get glamour
you cant glamour your war set to ur drk
^^
Mainly what you need is patience lmao
you can trade in gc seals to get more prisms at your gc
Ohmygod if i hear gc seals one more time
Ive spent like 3 days farming seals
Im not even close
no I'm saying that its not possible even if you get the prisms lmao
if you do your gc hunting log you'll be able to promote yourself
I know?
Hi guys im a free trial and new player to the game, can i join parties as a free player?
yes
i did my hunting log
you just can't make them
For the 50th time I did my hunting log
Oh alright thanks
I literally have no idea what you're saying here, I'm just doing this because it's an unlock quest that's not "so you want to be a Blank" or "leves of location"
they're not talking to you
you just replied to them for whatever reason
so they replied to you
bro what?????????
man japanese games, 4 hours of playing the MSQ and maybe 10 minutes of that spent in combat
this happened to me so many times today
I regret what I say
people are replying to me about something that they were talking with someone else wtf
There's no "get glam prisms easy" trick from where you are. It's grind x, yn or z
I'm just VERY confused rn
There is lmao
Market board
Guys im stuck on Absolutely Glamorous it says i need Class/job Disciple of the hand lvl 15
But free trial cant use it so
I mean sure
¯_(ツ)_/¯
lmfaooo you're good im laughing rn xd
OH! That explains everything!
voyce of concern is a blue quest that unlocks sylph beast tribe dailies
normally your class quest is underneath your MSQ tracker
oh! It's another way for leveling?
e.g. face of thal is my next class quest
it is, yes
it's a daily repeatable set of quests you can use as another levelling tool if you felt like it
just about to do the quest "lord of the inferno". Am i close to a mount as thats a lvl20 MSQ
Yes
I don’t have the class quest
Literally like 2 quests
excellent
im stuck on Absolutely Glamorous it says i need Class/job Disciple of the hand lvl 15 but I don’t see it in my quest. Where do i go
Where to go to powerlevel blu mage with a friend?
Khlosuia beach
south of journeys inn in ShB
Also you should be doing that second thing, "Leves of X". Leves give you gil, exp, GC seals, Ventures, and other stuff
(theres a few options)
@modest igloo like that works at any level?
ty
how can i augment my armor? i've looked at like 3 different guides and still don't know what i need for it
chuck a flying sardine at enemies and have your friend kill them, you'll hit 70 in like an hour
Define "augment"
ok
Bc you could be talking about several things
the augmentation thing that you have to do in order to dye it
Where do I start the quest for my mount i'm lvl 21 and I have no idea lol
also make sure the 2 of you aren't in a party, otherwise ya won't be getting xp
yea
keep doing MSQ
which enemies here?
MSQ?
Ahhh
keep doing msq's until you get to a quest called "my little chocobo"
Okay thank you
that's only a thing for some sets, specifically tome gear
i got it around lvl 35
the Drachen set has it
any, all are melee
Jeez it's that far in?
and i want it
O.O
i think i just did a lot of leveling before getting to it just keep doing ur msq's
Lmao
Get the armor augmentation through crafting or the market board
Might as well level skip
Also the forums keep telling me that water sprites drop water crystals but all they're dropping is shards
higher level sprites
story skip doesn't level you, level skip still requires story
i think it isn't sold anymore and i need alchemist lvl 50 to get it 
They have to be certain level in certain zones
that just sounds like pain
also still need to do shadowbringers story even if you skip
Ask around for a crafter
^
Someone might make them for you
You can check the mb on other worlds incase they have it for sale
guys my inventory is getting full with all the materials Ive gotten so far while leveling, what should I do with them? sell to vender?
Can do that, or hang onto them for crafting if you want, or store on a retainer
The wyrm set from the coffer you get at lvl 50 is dyeable on its own
is there a way to remove the click sound when you press and ability
like even if i have to go into the game files and delete it or something
No it isn't
@modest igloo how do i start and is there one that focuses on prisms?
pick up the "So you want to be an (x)" from your main city
Wat. I thought the coffer armor was always dyeable
Nope
like weaver, alchemist, etc
ok
all of them save culinarian make prisms
