well, next to the scrips trader you can turn in stuff for scrips

#

i think leves gives out crafting scips too

faint flare
#

No, only collectibles

#

And custom deliveries but those are collectibles as well

around mor dhona, there's a vendor at one of the stands next to the scrip exchange up the hill from the aetheryte

chrome island
#

Oh dear, looks like I’ll have some progressing to do before I can buy the books

outer mural
#

if you haven't unlocked scrips, you have to be higher level likely

#

around 50-ish iirc then the quests will become available

I'm a bit blind at times.
Thank you very very much!

chrome island
#

I just hit 47 on my highest crafting class

#

I’m 68 on my highest overall class

rugged isle
#

What is the optimal msq level i should reach if i want to try out or change my job/class?

outer mural
#

anywhere is fine, but the later you go, the longer you'll have to level up a certain class to catch up to it

#

really depends on your goal but you'r the master of ur own destiny, swap whenever you want to

I see, thanks!

The team does their part. I know I'm both looking forward to and dreading Endwalker's changes, but at least Yoshida's said the formulae shouldn't be changing, only the variable numbers

Is there any beginner guides to gear progression (end game)? I’ve glanced at the pinned guide but I don’t really understand it

simple pine
#

This is a comprehensive guide aimed towards players entering endgame for the first time and getting overwhelmed with the amount of content to unlock and/or gear progression. This guide will help you get an understanding of how FFXIV’s endgame systems work, as well as how to gear up and what types of endgame PvE content exist.

How FFXIV's Meta Works

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

Hello, so I'm literally just starting out and its asking me to join the gladiator guild

#

Do I join it or?

warm snow

Yes

faint flare

If you want to be a gladiator

rich gazelle
warm snow
#

You picked gladiator as your starting class

#

So you gotta join the guild

rich gazelle

XD

hardy scroll

Heard I could be any class I wanted and it didnt matter what starting class I chose

#

Welp

faint flare
warm snow
hardy scroll
#

Oh ight

gentle arrow
#

isnt it 15 before u can change

warm snow
#

The starting class still has to mean something

faint flare

So I just join the gladiator guild now and later I can leave it for something else?

warm snow

You always have their progress forever

#

The guilds are just lore stuff

hardy scroll
#

Oh

#

Ight

warm snow
#

It's not a formal guild

faint flare

They're not ACTUAL guilds

as far as I understood its not like wow and dps shaming and the like can get u banned

This game is pretty damn far from wow

otherwise i wouldnt tell you to

ok i've equipped DRK and opened J

As a recent example some of the worst stream snipers on asmongold stream got temporarily banned

that's fine right

faint flare
#

Yes

rich gazelle

but quite surprised you mean the journal content change if i'm equipped with other jobs

#

?

faint flare
#

Only the DRK ones

rich gazelle
#

wow

faint flare
#

Cause of ||Your darkside||

#

That's why people love the DRK story

rich gazelle
#

did the game ever tell us this

faint flare
#

Nope

#

People noticed it

rich gazelle
#

whoa

faint flare
#

The writer who did the dark story wrote shadowbringers and is writing endwalker

#

So you know what to expect in quality

simple pine
#

endwalker is different though because dark story and shadowbringers are both their own encapsulated story that integrate some parts of the existing lore. endwalker will have to be a continuation of the existing story, a whole different challenge

faint flare
#

Shadowbringers isn't it's own story

#

It still continues the arc

#

Even though it's different place

How do i objectively compare my dps in stone sea sky to fflogs. I don't see a way to sort my ilevel. Or is my dps good enough if i can kill the dummy or atleast reach 10%

#

I don't expect to compare to bis players or people that play their ass off to show off a parse

alpine shadow
#

!faq sss

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS
  1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
  2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
  3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
  4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
  5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
  6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
  7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
slate spindle
#

You're better off doing a longer rotation against a regular striking dummy and feeding your report in to xivanalysis than using SSS

faint flare
#

Just throw the log into xivanaylsis really

slate spindle
#

I would not recommend sss when it's 3mins or less

quiet acorn
#

I'm on ps4

alpine shadow
#

get a friend that plays on a pc i guess

slate spindle
#

Are you able to have a friend record for you?

quiet acorn
#

Yup

faint flare
#

Just go to a housing area/summerford farms with them and smack a dummy for like 5mins

#

Or so

slate spindle
#

That'd be best, but again, a longer rotation will show better indications of your play than sss. All it's really good for is the cool down reset

faint flare
#

Enter a unsynced instance for a Cooldown reset

#

And leave

slate spindle
#

Yeah

quiet acorn
#

God i don't know how I'll react if i get told objectively that im bad at my main 😂

faint flare

That's when you get better

It's simple

Press button, get heals

void vigil
#

ppl seem to love it

faint flare
#

Optimising is a different thing with it though

void vigil
#

maybe for its simplicity

open coral
#

WHM has the strongest, straightforward AoE direct healing of the three healing classes.

warm snow
#

New players find the proactive nature of scholar weird and ast has a higher skill floor

open coral
#

WHM doesn't have to plan their skill useage to get big healing the way AST or SCH does.

#

Literally every heal they have is big healing. Except Cure. Cure is trash.

void vigil

Yeah, i might wanna just go straight to SCH or AST since I am a seasoned MMO healer

hi i have a question

molten meadow
#

best place to try find someone to swap region code?

open coral
slate spindle
#

It's quite a different mentality to other mmo healing in general, something to keep in mind as Kat's mentioned

queen nimbus
#

For archer, does it matter if the bow is slower or faster?

I have an Elm Velocity Bow and a Wrapped Elm Longbow. Their Physical Damage is the same, but the Auto-Attack is different (higher for longbow) but the Delay for the longbow is also longer.

vocal radish
#

i cant pay for a sub, so im using a trial account, someone told me there was 2 clients or is that wrong

slate spindle
#

It matters only for the damage range of each individual auto hit

queen nimbus
#

I know it doesn't really matter at this level but seems like something that would be good it know

thorn perch

If I transfer my char to a preferred server does that give the exp bonus? thinkderp

I’ve spent over 17 hours in total trying to troubleshoot and download the game with internet/ YouTube solutions however am unable. I’m about to stop but came here to see if anyone could help point me in the right direction. Sorry for the long chat but I appreciate your time!

@stiff cloak in a lvl 20 msq quest, so if the quest is lvl 20 u will be lvl 24-25. It's part of the msq so u won't miss it out. If you don't choose one u can't continue so play msq relaxed. It will come as long as u play 😄

armoury buff is really good

BLM for 25 more levels it is...

armoury bonus only matters if you have another battle job at a higher level than your lower level one

and while in queue do more hunting logs

the actual level of the higher one doesn't change the scaling

oh!

What are Treasure Maps?

Treasure Maps are a party activity where players are required to find the location in the overworld and clear waves of mobs in order to reap the rewards. Maps can be gathered once per 18 hours by a gatherer of the appropriate level and are unique, thus only one map can be held at a time.

Deciphering the map.

In order to actually use the timeworn map you've acquired, you must first complete the quest Treasures and Tribulations which will allow you to convert the timeworn map into a usable map.

What maps do people usually gather?

Timeworn Dragonskin Map (Level 60, Heavensward)
Timeworn Gazelleskin Map (Level 70, Stormblood)
Timeworn Zonureskin Map (Level 80, Shadowbringers)

Map Dungeons

Each of the three treasure maps mentioned have a 50% chance to create a portal which will take the party to a special dungeon full of treasure and riches, but only if you pass the game of chance.

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

# dark copper what are artifact weapons/gear

Artifact Gear is job-specific gear, given to you at the level cap or base game / expansion. Its gear made to have the look and feel of that particular job, its like unique looking and usually good enough to use at the start of endgame. Here's an almub for Shadowbringer Artifact Gear you get for each job, for example: https://imgur.com/r/ffxiv/qPb2L9V

Artifact weapons are usually the best weapon for each class, but require a LONG and hefty grind of some sort to get. Again, very unique and very powerful but a lot of work to complete, fun work but long work.

Why am I Past lv50 Without the Abilities of My Job

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in msq, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.

How do I unlock my job?

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

If you own the expansion you can try red mage or samurai, both of which start out as level 50 so no catchup required

I'm really confused with poetics level 60 gear with names like custodian/pathfinder/pankratiast/emissary/conservators. How do they relate to fending/aiming/casting/healing/maining/slaying/striking/scouting when it comes to which class uses which for armor/jewelry?

knotty lily
#

Tanks wear custodian set, so thats fending - and so on. They didnt realize they needed to job-lock accessories yet, crazy.

civic flare
#

Yeah. I have that for tanks, casters, healers, but getting a little confused with MNK/NIN/SAM/DRG

jade quartz
#

They all use strength

knotty lily
#

MNK/SAM/DRG all use Strength (Pankratiast), while NIN shares with Ranged (DEX / Conservator I think)

Oh didn’t see NIN in there yeah

Just click your character name like always

Need has priority over greed

#

You cannot need on items that aren’t equippable by your current class

#

So greed rolls only get counted if no one needs.

What is the best way to make friends in this game without relying on joining a FC or using Party Finder?

Just

I mean there are Linkshells, as well. Can check the community finder to see if any fit your mood, since those are just chat channels and dont require an FC

there are no downsides to joining a FC

#

Ahhh Better example: I beat Titan Extreme March 2014, so if you checked my acheevos you'd confirm "yeh, synced"

restive kayak

#

SE probably doesn't want achievement bloat, but there's a similar series of achievements for all BLU parties done synced and no echo

#

though that's arguably easier for the older content than with regular jobs

knotty lily

I see a lot more interest in old content synced since Asmon been challenging it, but it really is just for the clout yeh

Greetings folks, im new to the game and on free trial rn ( atm rogue lvl 28/DRG 25/GLA 11 )

Im surprised on how im really enjoying this thing

knotty lily
#

Just know that if youre enjoying the free trial now, the game only gets better and better.
Getting to 60 right now will give you a good idea of how much the game improves with each expansion, though!

#

Like a "you think 2.0 is good, just you wait until 2.3, then hoooly 2.5, then THREE POINT OH OH BABY, AND THEN... etc. etc."

If i spam MSQ, how long till i get to lvl 60?

And also i wanna try samurai, so there's that lol

Is there any other ways to find groups without using party finder or duty finder to find groups? Like a discord? I finished msq ShB and I want to go back and do all the raids and EX stuff I missed but they never really work out using those.

Of the level 60 poetics gear (custodian/pankratiast/conservator) what do NIN, SAM, DRG and MNK use for jewelry?

knotty lily
jade quartz
#

You just need to know the main stat for each job

#

And pick the gear with that main stat

civic flare
#

So it just looks like there is no equivalent for level 50/70 slaying jewelry.
