[slate arrow]

thats not your job quest

but that is a recommended quest

[sage mirage]

Talk to the NPC and it shows why you can't complete it

[mossy moss]

Is praetorium avoidable in msqs

[slate arrow]

as you need to complete it to get your mounts

[mossy moss]

or is it mandatory?

[sage mirage]

No, but you're gonna wanna do that one

[slate arrow]

mandatory

[knotty lily]

For linkshells there is but not for FCs - online players get moved to the top of the list tho

[robust crow]

in msq roulette it's random, but it's 100% worth doing

[storm vector]

ok but why cant i do it if its a recommended quest?

[sage mirage]

Talk to the NPC and it'll say why

[slate arrow]

did you get your chocobo issurance from the twin adders

[mossy moss]

this is gonna be a bummer

[storm vector]

idk what that is

[fading helm]

where does the dancer job start?

[slate arrow]

did you read

[faint flare]

Limsa

[robust crow]

limsa

[lucid narwhal]

why cant i turn in this quest?

[knotty lily]

Prae is usually the good one that people want, since theres less effort and more cutscenes you can tab out for

[fading helm]

is it a complicated class?

[robust crow]

Lisa lomasa

no

dnc is one of the easiest

[mossy moss]

oh great, i get to join another farm group speedrunning it

[obsidian patio]

The ring is normal quality

[mossy moss]

how fun it is to experience a raid while you have to do nothing

[slate arrow]

castrum and praetorium aren't raids

[faint flare]

That's why it's the Netflix roulette

[robust crow]

who the hell is "speedrunning" praetorium

??????

[pure lion]

hi anyone know wheres the info on getting into/ creating character on gilgamesh server?

[slate arrow]

they're just very stuffed to the gills cutscene dungeons

[knotty lily]

I mean they are unskippable cutscenes, so everyone has to run and do the work involved haha

[lucid narwhal]

can i purchase High Quality Furnace Ring @obsidian patio ?

[mossy moss]

it doesn't matter if they're raids or not, i liked the idea of having a lot of people in hard bossfights

[obsidian patio]

From the market board, yes

[mossy moss]

turns out i can scroll on reddit and people will do it without me because it's a joke

[knotty lily]

You can keep an eye on the status page:
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/

I dont expect it to open up anytime soon since NA primetime is coming, so keep refreshing and check back near/after midnight?

[robust crow]

praetorium isn't a hard raid

[pure lion]

ty

[robust crow]

it's barely a raid at all

[lucid narwhal]

@obsidian patio what do I search? im searching High Quality Furnace Ring and nothing comes up

[outer mural]

praetorium's an 8-man dungeon

[obsidian patio]

Just furnace ring

[robust crow]

its an 8 man movie

[mossy moss]

my problem isn't the difficulty

[obsidian patio]

And make sure it has in the price

[mossy moss]

my problem is that people are speedrunning it and i can't enjoy it

[knotty lily]

Prae and Castrum are impossible to speedrun since everyone moves at the same pace due to unskippables

[lucid narwhal]

ty xD

[outer mural]

speedrunning in what regard

[robust crow]

what are you trying to enjoy in praetorium

[outer mural]

it's just killing adds

[robust crow]

like they're just skipping trash mobs lmao

[slate arrow]

the only good things are the cutscenes

[knotty lily]

AKA - dont worry, you'll be running with the group since everyone knows the drill

[fleet vale]

I did some skip potion of some expansions and I regret it...I am planning to make new game+ by doing that can I get the item rewards from the story quests in NG+ ?

[mossy moss]

i got to cast 3 spells the whole duty

[slate arrow]

no rewards

[robust crow]

or are they bug abusing and fighting bosses during the duty?

[mossy moss]

and i can't read the cutscenes because i'm a slow reader

[fleet vale]

so just pure story

ok

[dull valley]

@mossy moss youtube

[robust crow]

trust me, you missed literally nothing, praetorium has 0 mechanics, it's just a braindead cutscene reel

[polar swallow]

do we have some kind of lvling guide for lvl 1 to 55 ish (wanna try playing ninja, but its lvl 1, and i have no idea from where to start now)

[robust crow]

and the dialogue moves at the same pace for everyone

[slate arrow]

and all the important shit is voice acted anyways

[faint flare]

!faq altlvlguide

[knotty lily]

Should mentioned that Prae and Castrum are the only two dungeons that do this, they never do this style again so you'll always be able to enjoy your raids or cutscenes

[robust crow]

you can't speed up or skip the dialogue

Is there any way to get quest items if you didn't pick them during a quest?

[polar swallow]

tyty

[slate arrow]

crafting

poetics

[faint flare]

Or vendors

[knotty lily]

You mean like quest rewards? All the normal quest rewards are just crafted items (or on the marketboard)

[willow sparrow]

Oh

[slate arrow]

unique quest rewards are from the calamity salvager except for the fantasia

[willow sparrow]

Even from MSQ?

[fleet vale]

can I new game+ specific expansions? or it has to be from the scratch?

[faint flare]

Yes

[slate arrow]

yes

[faint flare]

Nothing in the story is unique

[fleet vale]

thanks

[willow sparrow]

okay

thanks

[faint flare]

If it is, then the salvager gives it back

[knotty lily]

Specific, you can even pick where to start (roughly)

This thing

[knotty lily]

Up to you - they will be for glamour only for the most part even for trial players. Some sections have potential* be quite difficult actually without access to a market board so keep that in mind

[obsidian patio]

If you want it for the looks, sure. Just be aware that the zodiac/ARR will require you to level up all crafters and gatherers to 50 if you want the whole thing.

[spark monolith]

nvm

[fiery pagoda]

im leveling a gunbreaker. which duty roulettes should i do before spamming dungeon queues?

[spark monolith]

it sounds like such a hassle

[spare hare]

anyone know how long the sale is gonna last

[cedar horizon]

Whats the max item level in the game right now?

[lucid narwhal]

@obsidian patio I have gathered all the 4 items from the 4 quests at The Zodiac Braves Step, where do I turn em in? 😮

[spark monolith]

which relic is easiest to get?

[obsidian patio]

Give them to Jalzahn

[spare hare]

anima

[obsidian patio]

Anima/HW, it’s basically a giant poetics dump.

Like 8-10k or more depending on how you handle it

[spark monolith]

oh ok nice

i can do that

wait but then its 8-10k per weapon

ugh

[knotty lily]

Up to you - Leveling, Trial, Alliance.. (or maybe MSQ if you're feeling bold, it can be not worth sometimes)
Normal raid, 50/60, guildhest, not worth for exp imo last I checked

[spark monolith]

@fiery pagoda

lmao

our name kinda matches

i will destroy you

Where do I start getting gear with a fresh samurai?
Haven't played for more than 5 years btw

[knotty lily]

You're in Documents, not "Program Files" if thats what you're looking for

[knotty lily]

Note that when you unlocked Samurai they should have given you a coffer full of some left side gear for you as well so that you have something, try looking for it if you havent yet

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok this doesn't ring a bell at all xD What is poetics and ARR rowena sundries?

[sharp tapir]

What can I do with the fantasia potion, can i change my character fully with it?

like, from eye color to hair color

[faint flare]

Yes except name

[fading helm]

wow i really like dancer

[twilit arch]

you basically go back into the character creation screen

can't change name/starting class tho

[mossy moss]

so i can get a bigger tail then?

[knotty lily]

Unless its to a "New" classified server, like Oceania servers when they are implemented.
Paid transfer is like 18 USD?

[twilit arch]

mhm

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[slate arrow]

You can select a world at Character Creation

but for the most part every world is blocked from new characters rn

[knotty lily]

If it were my friend I would, -especially- if you're not on the same data center.
If you're on the same DC you can try playing together via World Visit, see if that works out for you for a bit.
Can't be in the same FC or do market stuff if you visit another world tho.

[slate arrow]

okay that was a lie

[crystal eagle]

Can I get the endwalker preorder in-game bonuses on free trial or do I have to own the game?

[leaden ginkgo]

?

[red cosmos]

fair, thanks!

[slate arrow]

you must own the game to redeem the early order bonus

no, try one of the worlds with a green character creation label

Hi there, any tips to find people for A9S light farming for heavensward relic weapon? Party finder isn't really working to find others to do this with, any tips are welcome

[robust crow]

isn't it a10s lol

[spring lintel]

So in duty roulette i have only leveling (lvl 16) and guildhests (lvl 10) while my main job lvl is 39 and my msq is about lvl 30 - did i do something wrong?

[twilit arch]

no

that's pretty much all you'll have at that point

[willow sparrow]

Are aetherite teleportation lore canon or a game mechanic for convenience?

[robust crow]

lore canon

[slate arrow]

levels are the minimum level to enter for roulettes

[twilit arch]

those aer the min lvls to queue by the by

[slate arrow]

canon, but also convienence

[knotty lily]

More roulette come at level 50, 60, and 80

[slate arrow]

no normal person in eorzea can teleport as much as we can

[spring lintel]

ah, should i even do them at this point or can I ignore them completely atm

[willow sparrow]

alright

[slate arrow]

you can ignore em until you need EXP

[robust crow]

either or but it's recommended you do them daily to not miss out on the huge exp bonus

especially if you want to level numerous classes

[knotty lily]

At least levelling roulette because the exp bonus is huge, for sure. You can also use a roulette on an alt job for exp

Once though- should only do a roulette once per say each, bonus resets every day

[spring lintel]

Once every job or literally once?

[slate arrow]

literally once

everything is character based

that means everything

[spring lintel]

if they need a tank and i queue as a DPS is it a big exp bonus loss?

[slate arrow]

no

Adv. in Need is extremely minor

[robust crow]

the gil is more worth than the exp lol

[slate arrow]

i'd only recommend chasing it as a level 80 job for the materia tokens if you need it

[spring lintel]

If i set a glamour plate and swap my armour or any piece, what will take priority? New armor or the glamour plate? I'll rephrase if it doesnt make sense

[robust crow]

armor

[twilit arch]

you have to reapply the plate

[robust crow]

glamour is applied on the armor you are wearing

so if you change the armor you have to reapply the plate

[spring lintel]

thats weird, i just swapped my armor and the glamour plate stays

[robust crow]

did you assign the armors to gear sets

because if you assign a glam plate to a gear set then it will automatically apply the glam when you swap armor

[spring lintel]

I'm not sure, I just used the "recommended gear" function and it swapped my armor for a new one and the glamour stayed the same

[robust crow]

did your new armor already have the glamour applied

[spring lintel]

i didnt apply anything to it, no

[dark scarab]

why is an item i bought from the market now market prohibited? its not equipped or glamoured anywhere

[spring lintel]

uh mabe

[robust crow]

glamours stick onto the armor

[spring lintel]

Actually maybe i have, nevermind

[robust crow]

not on the gear slot

[spring lintel]

yeah nevermind

not just it by itself

you get a cart from the combo effect

[robust crow]

are you missing attacks on the dummy

im doing the keen edge to brutal shell to solid barrel

is it a level 80 dummy and you're level 60

[fading helm]

yea

[slate arrow]

yep

you're missing your attacks

[faint flare]

Then you're missing

[robust crow]

then you're not gonna get the combo bonus if you miss

Hello all. I just got the game two days ago, I am wondering if I should use a controller or a mouse and keyboard setup? I don't own one of those mmo mouses. I have a fps mouse with two side buttons (G502). Is there something that is recommended over another, or is it strictly preference?

[faint flare]

Either

Preference

[robust crow]

I really recommend an MMO mouse for this game though

you have like 30 fuckin buttons to manage on your average class

having 12 extra buttons on the mouse is big

[verbal rune]

Controller is good too

Ffxiv was made with controller in mind

[robust crow]

yeah if you play on PC then consider getting an MMO mouse, if you play on console then controller is good

[verbal rune]

Or use a controller on pc

[robust crow]

only issue with controller is targeting shit can get annoying

[viral mantle]

So I guess order of convinence would go:

MMO Mouse > Controller > Normal Keyboard Setup?

Thanks!

[manic flare]

How long have you tried?

[little stone]

Correct me if im wrong , but i remember at ARR release , you could have certain skills from other jobs that you leveled, like paladin Sentinel on warrior

is it a thing now?

[robust crow]

they removed this

[faint flare]

Cross class Yes, and no its not a thing

[robust crow]

a long time ago

[viral mantle]

I'll probably just get a mmo mouse later next month.

[little stone]

gotcha

[faint flare]

Cross class was shit

[ripe moth]

Past like 30min or so. and havent gotten any answers lmao

[robust crow]

imagine having to level PUG to 15 just to play BRD

[stone quail]

If I buy the complete edition bundle on the square enix website, I can't use my steam version anymore right?

[red cosmos]

is there any way to transfer a character from a world to another, same data center, for free? (from Lich to Zodiark)

[faint flare]

Or DRG to 34 to play any melee job

[robust crow]

it was BLM that gave swiftcast yeah?

[faint flare]

Nope

Yeah

That was like 24

[robust crow]

and arcanist that gave addle

[faint flare]

Or something

[robust crow]

but it wasn't called addle back then

[strange knoll]

Did they say anything about being able to do duties with friends from other data center when travel comes out?

[faint flare]

They briefly mentioned it

[robust crow]

they said that it should be possible to raid with friends on other DCs iirc

[strange knoll]

Thanks, just gotta wait for it to be sure then 🙂

[spring lintel]

I heard some jobs have different run animations - is that true?

[robust crow]

yes

all jobs have a unique run animation with weapon drawn

ninja even has a unique jump

[spring lintel]

ok thats so cool

[ripe moth]

@manic flare I just tried logging and it worked

[spring lintel]

Blackmage doesnt seem to be different?

[dusty jungle]

right now. no.

[robust crow]

they hold their staff differently

I said it's different, I didn't say it was very different

[mossy moss]

So I read old tomestones have no cap

[robust crow]

and tbh the rdm run animation is ugly as fuck

[mossy moss]

does that mean i can just rush praetorium all day and get all the gear pieces for tmog

[robust crow]

well there's a number of problems with that statement

1. praetorium spam is slow as fuck

[faint flare]

You can hold 2k tomes of any kind at a time

[robust crow]

2. yes but what vinyl said

[mossy moss]

it was a hypotetical question

[robust crow]

3. only up to the expansion vendor you've unlocked

[mossy moss]

so i can just keep on doing one dungeon and turning in tomestones for transmog

[robust crow]

for some glamours yes

poetics only buys certain sets

[mossy moss]

ye i read some are dungeon rewards now

but i like the poetic set

makes my black mage look cool

[fading helm]

i wish u didnt have to level the realm reborn jobs from level 0

[open ember]

Well you're starting from lv1

[fading helm]

also is the fat chocobo promotion still on?

isn't each gift sub 5$?

[robust crow]

yeah that's it

cards

[slate arrow]

lots and lots of cards

[robust crow]

yep

[slate arrow]

throw card like ninja star

[quaint halo]

is it to buff someone's damage or something? i still really don't know what ast specializes in

[slate arrow]

basically

[robust crow]

yes

you want to play cards on people who are doing the most damage

oooo that's sound sick

[robust crow]

you'd rather put a card on a 25k DPS dragoon than on a 15k DPS samurai

[quaint halo]

can you get shadow bringer classes after 2.0 ? i just fought the boss that gives u mount flight

[slate arrow]

level 60

[robust crow]

but you can't possibly know who's doing how well without a DPS meter

[slate arrow]

so around when you finish HW

[robust crow]

you'd just have to guess based on aggro list

[void vigil]

hmmm

wondering which job would be more fun

WHM had the highest job satisfaction on the most recent survey

[twilit arch]

you can technically get them after you finish 2.0

[quaint halo]

is a dps meter smth i can get in game? or do i need an external software or mods or smth like that

[robust crow]

external software

[knotty lily]

!faq act

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

[twilit arch]

assuming you've got the road to 70 buff and are doing daily roulette/levels religiously

[void vigil]

any WHM or AST mains in here that wanna chat?

[robust crow]

fun is subjective

i play all the healers except SCH

because SCH makes me cry

but I CAN play SCH

[knotty lily]

Why not both? They share gear, after all

[limpid thicket]

what about SCH makes you cry?

[robust crow]

pet AI

what else

[void vigil]

WHM looks simple and maybe too boring because of that

[robust crow]

i love it when your pet fucking ignores your command

[limpid thicket]

[open ember]

SCH is all about resource management and predicting incoming damage

[void vigil]

You just gotta do it on disc and not in game lol

[open ember]

It is not very reactive compared to AST & WHM

[knotty lily]

WHM has Holy though, and is there anything in this game more satisfying than Holy

[void vigil]

what is Holy

[robust crow]

assize

misery

oh wait

[mossy moss]

do i need an expac to get dancer?

[robust crow]

holy is a spammable AoE that stuns everything

fantastic for dungeons

!action holy

[zinc orbit]

**Holy** : lvl 45 WHM (600 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.5 second base cast time)

yes shadowbringers

[quaint halo]

i just got holy and i didn't think it was good but 4 second is pretty long 👀

[robust crow]

there's nothing like dropping 2 blood lillies and assize on a giant trash pack

[limpid thicket]

oh so that explains why tanking with a WHM in the group feels smooth

[robust crow]

like the ones in paglth'an

[void vigil]

Anyone know why WHM was the highest in job satisfaction Reddit survey by a huge margin?

[faint flare]

You can stun things for 6s in aoe

[quaint halo]

huh- holy stun stacks ??

[faint flare]

Probably cause it fills the job fantasy the best

[faint flare]

You can stun mobs 3 times

Before they're immune

With the duration being halved each time

So 4 > 2 > 1s

So technically 7s

[quaint halo]

oh damn what

[robust crow]

you effectively don't need to heal for 7 seconds

[faint flare]

And this Is why we say USE FUCKING HOLY

[open ember]

You use holy for the damage not the stun

[faint flare]

You literally give the tank hallowed ground

Every pull

[robust crow]

nah you use it for both

lol

on 2 targets glare beats holy in potency

[wide flax]

Sorry, asked in the wrong channel: are there any preferred servers for extra xp currently?

Not on NA

[robust crow]

there's not really any class like resto druid from WoW

[open ember]

Or EU

[robust crow]

WHM and AST are the only 2 classes that have heals over time

but neither are predominantly HoT focused

[twilit arch]

sch has two hots

[robust crow]

ok yes all 3 healers have HoTs

but not like resto druid in WoW

uhh

ah, thanks

[robust crow]

HoTs in ffxiv are largely just set it and forget it

it's not proactive like resto druid who have skills that buff or play off existing hots

[void vigil]

fuck it imma play WHM looks sick

[robust crow]

well

if you are leveling as WHM

be aware it gets dull doing story since you only have like, literally 2 damage spells

so you'll be spamming stone a lot

[leaden ginkgo]

i'm lvl 55 and still enjoy it ❤️

you get assize at 56

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[leaden ginkgo]

do you guys have a command for rotations for each job?

[amber hornet]

cheers

[void vigil]

Does this change after leveling

[glossy flare]

no, there are only commands for jobs that get frequently asked about

[faint flare]

No. Weskalber for levelling rotations on YouTube

[void vigil]

Do I have to re-do the story if i have already done it up to Stormblood?

[obsidian patio]

Story is a one-time thing

[robust crow]

no, at level 80 whm has a total of 5 damage spells.

-a spammable spell
-a dot
-an aoe spammable spell
-a big spell every 45 seconds
-a bigger spell every 90 seconds

so like 80% of your casts in your average raid is going to be that one spammable spell

[open ember]

You can do new game plus but it'll just be a revisit of the story. You wont be able to play another class from the start for the story

If you wanna completely start over the story on a different class you need to make another character

[void vigil]

i dont necessarily wanna do the story again

[open ember]

Then you just level WHM as an alt job

then you start Shadowbringers as a WHM if you want

[void vigil]

cool

is AST more fun to level because they have more abilities?

[open ember]

Hmmm subjective but for me it was fun

[iron pelican]

Random question. Does anyone know what the boss fight is called where one of the phases is that you are like... falling from the sky or something?

[molten shadow]

ast is the most fun (and best) healer imo

[twilit arch]

ast has more to worry about with the card system

but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be more fun to level

The trial is called The Jade Stoa

[void vigil]

well does it have more than 2 damaging spells like WHM

[twilit arch]

no

its in a similar boat to whm

same with sch

[void vigil]

interesting

[robust crow]

all healers only have a small handful of damage spells

they want your DPS rotation to be easy so you can, well, heal

sage supposedly may change that

we don't know enough about it to be sure, but they said something about sages having a DPS phase

[leaden ginkgo]

how do you disable this lock icon for the hotbars? https://i.imgur.com/g7DXWUN.png

its in the way

[glossy flare]

you can't

[leaden ginkgo]

gey

[solid yacht]

what class should i give my retainer for profit?

[glossy flare]

[glossy flare]

any, combat jobs are all the same on retainers

for gatherers go either miner or botanist

[leaden ginkgo]

do any of the gunbreaker job quests do anything other than give xp

as all the ones ive done have given me nothing but xp

[glossy flare]

the lvl 70 one unlocks a skill

[leaden ginkgo]

hmm interesting

and besides that?

[glossy flare]

nothing

You need that skill though

[leaden ginkgo]

so just xp prior to 70 and after

[glossy flare]

There are no gnb quests after 70

[leaden ginkgo]

is it this skill?

[glossy flare]

well there is one

[leaden ginkgo]

!action continuation

**Continuation** : lvl 70 GNB (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Gnashing Fang may be followed by Jugular Rip.
Savage Claw may be followed by Abdomen Tear.
Wicked Talon may be followed by Eye Gouge.

Powered by XIVAPI

[glossy flare]

which actually rewards a title

[glossy flare]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont really understand how it works tbh, as idk what it means by "may be followed by" does that skill then turn into the following skill or what

[knotty lily]

Your retainers level cannot be higher than your OWN level on that job - so keep that in mind. Good to pick your main combat job maybe

[glossy flare]

Exactly

[steady pewter]

what should i level with culinarian?

[leaden ginkgo]

so once i use gnashing fang it'll turn into jugular rip to combo? @glossy flare

and so on

[glossy flare]

You basically go gnashing fang -> cont -> savage claw -> cont -> wicked talon -> cont

[knotty lily]

Low effort: ALC? Fish? Botanist prolly?
Better answer: All crafters/gatherers, if you havent already

[leaden ginkgo]

oh you activate cont for the following ability?

[glossy flare]

same cartridge combo you did before, just with a new button inbetween

[steady pewter]

@knotty lily i have them all at 15

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[carmine venture]

Hey can someone explain to me what all the stuff in brackets mean in the recruitments section?

[steady pewter]

@knotty lily what do you say i do first?

[knotty lily]

For sure, I meant to endgame - gotta get your tools, gear, mats, somewhere. So the best answert is all at once

[sick hornet]

how can I contact mog station support? I bought something but I have no idea if it went through

[steady pewter]

man honestly i just wanna make cool food and give them to sprouts

so i guess i'll do the selection you said first

[low flax]

its things like the server in which the free company is on and things the fc does

[robust crow]

do what I do and just hand them like 200 raisins

[spring elk]

How common/rare are weddings? I got invited to one on Facebook by a friend, but I have to server transfer to actually get the invitation, attend, and get the two minions, and I'm not sure if that's worth

[low flax]

not uncommon

[carmine venture]

Oh I’m dumb I thought FC meant first clear

[low flax]

the base version of marriage is free

so a lot of players get married

[robust crow]

you could create a new character on their server and attend that way

[strange knoll]

How do I queue by myself for dungeons as a BLU? I thought I could use undersized but it doesn't look like it

[robust crow]

you can't

[carmine venture]

@low flax ty UwU

[strange knoll]

So how do I go into Tam Tara to learn Mind Blast?

[spring elk]

What about the paid versions?

[steady pewter]

@robust crow i have this idea, of asking their favorite food, giving them 99 of that, then crafting 99 of the best food for their selected main class, but yeah raisins or eggs work too lol

[low flax]

less common but still not uncommon

[robust crow]

oh, if you mean you wanted to enter without a party, then yeah you have to select the undersized party option

[spring elk]

I thought about that, but if I ever want to use the minions, I won't be able to hey

[robust crow]

well it's more about being there for your friends' wedding

than it is about the minions

[spring elk]

True

[robust crow]

though I've personally tossed like 5 sets of the minion pairs

since i already have em

[strange knoll]

Oh I'm dumb, I was in the roulette tab and was wondering why I couldn't queue for anything. Thanks

[robust crow]

i made a character on EU DC to attend my EU friend's wedding

it can be a hassle getting them to ferry you to the chapel though

[spring elk]

Did you make the new toon in Gridania? Heard that's the best place

[robust crow]

i did indeed

it's the closest to the chapel

[austere radish]

how do I unlock hard mode for for bowls of ember, the navel, and the howling eye

[buoyant cargo]

Does a trust run give you the same exp as a duty finder group?

[robust crow]

regular version is fine

[manic heath]

thank you

[robust crow]

yes but trusts are slow as fuck since trust AI is braindead

[robust crow]

talk to urianger in the waking sands

[robust crow]

no

[austere radish]

thanks! does it unlock for all 3 tho?

[robust crow]

but you can easily make a lookalike

[robust crow]

urianger will have individual quests for each trial

iirc you have to do them in order to unlock the following quests

[willow sparrow]

dang

[twilit arch]

urianger is not the quest giver for the hard more trials for titan/ifrit/garuda

[sick isle]

are PF groups for leveling alt jobs through dungeon spamming common when a new expansion drops?

[robust crow]

well fuck

[twilit arch]

ifrit is from thancred, garuda is from papalymo and titan is from y'shtola

[robust crow]

it's thancred

well they're all in the same room iirc anyway

[dull valley]

same room, might as well be the same person lol

[strange knoll]

Who is the "outlandish man" I need to speak to to start the A Time to Every Purpose quest?

[gritty steeple]

hey i just started the game and im like super struggeling with the quest ? like i dont deal dmg to the monsters lol im super noob im sorryyy but is it maybe bc of my class ? my class is Conjurer

[robust crow]

how are you struggling exactly?

with what quest

you only have 2 damage spells at that level, it's just stone and aero

[gritty steeple]

i have this game on german zz but yea exaclty i dunno how am i supposed to deal any dmg ik its not my class mission to deal dmg but i just keep dying :(

[leaden ginkgo]

can someone explain how heart of stone works, it says i can use it an give myself + a teammate it?

[faint flare]

It's there for glamour

[faint flare]

You can use it on yourself OR team mate

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

what does this mean then

[robust crow]

the 240 gear was an older set with a different appearance, but yeah it's functionally just for glam

[cinder phoenix]

yo im just starting out and was wondering what class is the most fun

[faint flare]

You give them the shield from your brutal shell

[odd ravine]

Will ||Bozja|| give you access to abilities locked behind class quests even if you havejnt done those quests?

[warm snow]

At the level cap there's 2 types of tomestones, one is limited to a certain amount per week the other is unlimited. You can see the current ShB tomes in the currency menu. When a new expansion comes out the gear from both tomes becomes buyable with poetics

[warm snow]

There are no job quests skills from 70-80

[leaden ginkgo]

but how am i meant to use brutal shell if im targetting a teammate

[robust crow]

i sure hope you've unlocked your level 52-60 skills at level 71

[warm snow]

This probably won't be the case for reaper and sage tho

[odd ravine]

Wondering about abilities under level 71

[warm snow]

You can't be a job below level 71 in bozja

The end

[austere radish]

yo idk if I found the right quests to unlock the dungeon or not one of them literrally took me to the archers guild

[tight spoke]

How do I check if a certain FATE boss is on cooldown?

[edgy charm]

Are these things in the market?

[faint flare]

You would already have brutal shells shield on you

Since you combed it

[warm snow]

!skill brutal shell

[faint flare]

You get a tiny shield when you use brutal shell

[odd ravine]

If Im sum 71 and dont have any SCH quests done, if I go into Boz as SCH will I have all my SCH abilities to 80? or just thge ones unlocked by level and not by class quest

[warm snow]

@leaden ginkgo the brutal shell effect is that barrier

[faint flare]

And you give a copy of that shield to the ally when using Stone

[leaden ginkgo]

so if i have brutal shell and pop heart of stone it'll give the person i target the shield?

[faint flare]

If you still have it

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

is that even worth doing?

[warm snow]

No idea

Probably not tbh

[robust crow]

i linked you one of the quests that unlocks them, they should be blue quests

[austere radish]

where'd you link it?

[faint flare]

You only give the shield if you're the off tank, as an auto will remove it

[warm snow]

Since bozja probably isn't coded to deal with that specific situation

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah it doesnt feel worth doing since you would loose the 15% damage miti from heart of stone if you use it to give someone else a shield.

[leaden ginkgo]

ah.

so if im maintank i use it on myself.

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

good to know.

also, someone mentioned when i hit lvl70 from dungeons i should do bozja for 70-80?

[robust crow]

an image above but here you go anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

what is bozja

[robust crow]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Ifrit_Bleeds,_We_Can_Kill_It

[faint flare]

Shadowbringers relic

[floral silo]

BTW complete edition is back on sale on the retail site

[leaden ginkgo]

bozja is a relic?

[faint flare]

The zone for it

[leaden ginkgo]

im confused now lol

[faint flare]

It's a special zone that you unlock during the shadowbringers relic

[austere radish]

actually have brain damage and don't know what to do

[leaden ginkgo]

oh.

[faint flare]

And you can get mats for the relic inside

[modest laurel]

hello! is there any way of getting the lvl 1 arcanist weapon outside the marketboard? the prices for it was outrageous. I need one for my first retainer :/

[robust crow]

is thancred in the waking sands giving you this quest?

[leaden ginkgo]

but why do people say bozja is good for xp

[faint flare]

Cause fates inside give you zp

[austere radish]

you said talk to ufriager or whatevs that guys name was

[robust crow]

yes and someone corrected me that it was thancred

but they are literally in the same room

[leaden ginkgo]

are the fates better than doing dungeons or what @faint flare

[austere radish]

didn't see that correction mb

[robust crow]

like thancred is 5 steps to the side of urianger

[leaden ginkgo]

as someone said bozja is best xp at 70-80

[faint flare]

Very comparable

[leaden ginkgo]

wym

im asking as i saw this

[faint flare]

The xp is very comparable to dungeons

Just as good

[leaden ginkgo]

which is quicker though.

i suppose is the main thing

[faint flare]

Dungeons by abit

Cause you can boost the xp

Via food and the preorder earrings

However there's no que for bojza

So dps can level rapidly in bojza

[limpid thicket]

you can't boost fates exp?

[faint flare]

No

[knotty lily]

Not from the end bonus which is all you care about in a FATE

[leaden ginkgo]

then why am i being told bozja is the best xp at 71-80 in the game

i dont get it

[robust crow]

idk who the hell said that

but bozja is good exp

[astral field]

How do i go about reflect farming in eureka pyros? Because im not really noticing any noticeable difference between reflect damage and just spamming my own abilities...

[faint flare]

Remove your gear

Reflect does more damage the more you're meant to take

So get naked

[robust crow]

also pay attention and don't let reflect fall off

[faint flare]

Yep

[astral field]

I got naked still not really seeing the benefit

[robust crow]

and go fight mobs way higher level than you

[leaden ginkgo]

but what im tryna figure out which is better to run as atank.

[faint flare]

Bojza for dos

[robust crow]

there's a spot in pyros iirc that works well for the 35-43ish range

[faint flare]

Dungeons for others

[leaden ginkgo]

dos?

[robust crow]

i can't remember if there's one for higher than 43

[faint flare]

Dps

[robust crow]

hydatos has a very good reflect spot

quite literally called sprite island

the mobs there are like level 66 so they hurt a lot

perfect for reflect

[astral field]

I can only access pyros 🙂

[robust crow]

right so go find that level 47 sprite spot

i forgot where it is

[faint flare]

White flames near the north west

When you're within their rangd

[robust crow]

i think it's 7 levels under where it starts being good yeah?

been so long since I last leveled in eureka

more than 7 levels and the EXP rate is lower

[faint flare]

6 or 7

I am unable to progress in MSQ. I cannot start A Time to Every Purpose. Says I need to complete Crystal Tower questline, but the man that is supposed to be here to start that questline is not here. Any ideas how I can progress here?

does the minion behavior mean anything? Also what are those grey marks on some of the minions?

behavior does indicate whether it'll respond to certain commands

[slim cargo]

This wondrous tails book, I've earnt all the stamps I can but nothing has lined up, do I just keep using my second chance points to shuffle them until they line up? What if they dont?

[faint flare]

Yes, provided you're under 7 seals

Otherwise you just turn in

Can't shuffle over 7 seals

[slim cargo]

Ah so you still get the rewards listed at the top even if you dont get anything that lines up, the lines are just a bonus

[warped depot]

Are Gshade bannable?

[twilit arch]

no

[slate arrow]

you're taking damage

[warped depot]

ight

[leaden ginkgo]

that insta removes my shield?

[slim cargo]

Ah man she won't take the book unless I've earnt 9 stickers! I can't do any more, what a waste of my time

[twilit arch]

brutal shell doesn't shield for a whole lot of dmg

so it gets broken pretty easily, usually with in a auto or two

[twilit arch]

reset one of the things you can do

[leaden ginkgo]

what about aspected benefic? something is removing that too

[slim cargo]

I have, so if I do it again I'll still only have 6

[twilit arch]

no you will earn another sticker

[wanton niche]

how can i see the weekly challanges on saucer?

[twilit arch]

from resetting one of the activities you've already done

[hearty sentinel]

Where do I go to to get the security token key for the OTP? I checked on Amazon and it shows one but says for PS3

[lone totem]

shields in ffxiv are substitutions to hp to where they are considered in damage calculation before your maximum health

when the buff is removed, that means the shield is no longer applying

[robust crow]

if it's nocturnal aspect benefic then it's the shield being removed when you take damage

[lone totem]

meaning it either expired (the duration), or it was hit with its maximum shield strength

[slate arrow]

[slim cargo]

That's what I mean, I have 5/9 now after resetting, so I'll have 6 if I do that one again

[leaden ginkgo]

oh i see. @robust crow

[twilit arch]

ok so keep doing activities until you earn 9

[hearty sentinel]

Thank you. And I just click it and input the code right? Simple as that

[twilit arch]

use second chance points to reset what you can do

[leaden ginkgo]

i think you can get a security token with the phone app?

[lone totem]

you can either use a real physical device, or use a mobile device

[viscid fossil]

I would recommended get the app on phone Authy or other similar.

[outer mural]

yes

[viscid fossil]

Those key thing battery can die

[twilit arch]

you also have 2 weeks to turn in a book

[outer mural]

you don't need the key thing they just promote it if you want a more physical option for it

[twilit arch]

So you have time to complete it

[hearty sentinel]

I looked at the app and unfortunately I forgot my ID to login lmao

[slim cargo]

oh okay I see, keep running dungeons to earn points to reset the ones I can do to re-do them again to earn more stickers xD The rest of the stuff is extremes and coils and stuff I'm no good at

[twilit arch]

yer

[outer mural]

yer

you can also just unsync the ex's

[knotty lily]

Some of those can be solo'd unsynced if its like... level 50 stuff

Whats the moon icon beside my xp bar? Something to do with rested xp?

Rested Experience FAQ

'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.

[slim cargo]

I'll try the points way, I dont want to be letting people down in an EX that's meant to have got easier lol ty guys

[lone totem]

it means you are currently in a sanctuary

[jovial quarry]

The moon indicates you're in a sanctuary zone, meaning you're accumulating rested exp.

[dense vortex]

Thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

how can i add this person :/

kek

like idk how i add people from other worlds ;/

[dull valley]

anyone got a good youtube video for explaining how crafting/gathering jobs work?

[mental garnet]

if i buy a digital copy of ff14 would i be able to wait a bit before activating it?

[robust crow]

probably the easiest way is to visit their server and add them that way

[lone totem]

Social > Contacts

and they will appear in that list

[robust crow]

does that work across servers?

[lone totem]

it is one of the few things that does

[leaden ginkgo]

that was first thing i tried i keep etting this error

https://i.imgur.com/CQzVGxT.png

[lone totem]

oh really

I guess it only works for the blacklist

and not friend request

[leaden ginkgo]

it use to work

but now it isnt

idk why

ever since a few days ago it stopped working

[lone totem]

go to their world and add them in that case

that is weird yeah

[twilit arch]

its possible they made be in an instance

[lone totem]

perhaps they are not online?

[twilit arch]

which if they are, you can't add them

[lone totem]

or they are occupied?

[leaden ginkgo]

they are i was just in a dungeon with them

[twilit arch]

you have to wait until they left on

[ashen fossil]

What warrants a spell being interrupted? I'm trying to complete the Kobolds and Indigents quest but I can't because 90% of the time I try to cast a spell, it gets interrupted, even if I'm just standing there not being hit by anything

[dark charm]

Hello Guys! How can I use the boat to travel to vesper bay? The mini map says there is a harbor

[leaden ginkgo]

even when im in phoenix i cant add them

[mental garnet]

Limsa Lominsa --> Arcanists Guild --> ferry dude or dockmaster or whatever

[alpine shadow]

if you are not facing the enemy, it might do that

[dull valley]

If I buy a store mount, is it unlocked for all my characters?

[robust crow]

didn't you ask this earlier

you can always change your name later for money

[solar valve]

yes with different names. now im on the name screen and got paralyzed

[twilit arch]

depends on the mount, it'll be indicated on the store page if its account bound or single character

[robust crow]

is zwei even a real name

that's a number in german no?

[dark charm]

@mental garnet do you need to unlock it? Because there is no npc to speak to

[solar valve]

its been character names before

so have other numbers

but just the sound of it

[limpid thicket]

zwei is two in german yes

[dull valley]

is there a store page in game or just online?

[twilit arch]

just the webpage

[faint flare]

Online

[robust crow]

here, how about this

[limpid thicket]

koga sounds good to me

[vernal imp]

As a new player, what is the progression server or exp boost server? Doesn't really indicate

[robust crow]

there's a part in endgame where they append Blade- to your name

[twilit arch]

there currently are no preferred servers at the moment for NA/EU @vernal imp

[robust crow]

so do you like Blade Valentine or Blade Blackwind

[robust crow]

see above

A question regarding Bards music performance : if you party up with other people to play a song that requires say 6 people does only one need to play the midi file for all players to play the music or do they each need to play their own midi file ?

[lone totem]

you cannot use midi files

[atomic monolith]

So I bought the thing that levels up a class to 70 for dark knight, is still possible for me to get the dark knight armor from coffer so I can use it for transmog?

[carmine hollow]

Hey guys for the sale on the square enix store. Im from oce so i want to buy the complete edition from the eu store right?

[pine oriole]

guys, why do I not get the quest from S'dhodjbi for the Aesthetics?

[light hearth]

so how does it work then ? i have 6 players in Limsa playing numa numa rn .

[heavy wadi]

You can use midi files

[light hearth]

^^

[heavy wadi]

That's how most ppl play music on brd

[lone totem]

they are either using plugins or other third party modifications, or they are actually performing it live

like me, who always performs live

[edgy warren]

Aw man im on steam and the sale is on squenix SADGE

[heavy wadi]

To answer your question, I haven't done that sort of thing but I would assume it syncs if you're in a party, but you need to all play the file

[edgy warren]

And im not gonna switch over because preferred server bonus

[chrome island]

Pretty sure you’re unable to switch anyways

Not that the preferred server part would switch, Steam and the other share the same servers

But once you buy from steam you’re locked into it

[leaden ginkgo]

is zadnor fates or dungeons with tank friend a faster way to level from 71-80?

[edgy warren]

Would have to delete aquare enix account and remake it

im just depressed

[grim pebble]

I've been told that we need to pick up the EU / PAL version. It's on the Australian Square Enix site too - $23.98

[gray crescent]

hello im from free trial user,Na and i want to buy the Ffiv full game. what version should i buy?

[chrome island]

You wouldn’t have to delete your account unless you’re unable to spend $0 making a new email, but you’d definitely need a new account

[hasty timber]

How do I pull this off? The flare spell eats all my MP at once according to the tool tip, so I don't understand how to chain it like that

[edgy warren]

Yeah, I wont bother now cuz my current character has the preferred server bonus so

[hasty timber]

oh wait, does the umbral heart cancel that out? sorry, new to the game and still trying to understand BLM

[edgy warren]

I have 0 idea when steam sale will happen though

[robust crow]

what level are you

[hasty timber]

66

[robust crow]

that's why

[chrome island]

#recruitment-aether

[robust crow]

you need to be 68 for the trait that lets umbral souls save you a cast

[spark monolith]

is spamming leveling roulette better than doing aurum vale from 48-50?

[hasty timber]

oh that makes much more sense

[robust crow]

and 72 or 74 lets you use 1 spell at 0 mp

[hasty timber]

so do i still use fire2 for aoe now?

[robust crow]

unfortunately yes

[hasty timber]

oof thanks

actually you don't even F2 under 5 enemies

[hasty timber]

TIL, thanks tho!

[robust crow]

swiftcast and triplecast your flares if you aren't already

[nova epoch]

Do TT cards from trials or dungeons have better drop rates when synced? And what about hard vs EX?

[simple zephyr]

How do I get Odin's mantle

[lone totem]

the level 50 FATE, "Steel Reign"

[simple zephyr]

huh

[lone totem]

randomly appears in one of the shrouds during a specific weather condition

[simple zephyr]

So are you saying there is another location?

[lone totem]

I believe the timer is every few days

[edgy warren]

I wonder when next steam sale for ffxiv is going to be

[lone totem]

there is a trial to fight odin, but you are not awarded this item by defeating him in it

you need to complete the FATE

[low flax]

sync or unsync doesnt change drop rates, not sure about hard vs ex though I think it actually might increase in extreme

[simple zephyr]

Where would the FATE be?

[lone totem]

it has set locations to be in any of the shrouds

Central Shroud, East Shroud, South Shroud, North Shroud

[low flax]

yeah its lvl 60 in the black shroud

[simple zephyr]

ok nvm

ill just grind the trial

[low flax]

the trial doesnt drop the same things idk what you are looking for

[lone totem]

the weather condition is an obvious tell that his FATE is up

[vale ridge]

Player starting out on Heavensward here and got to level 60 yesterday, went to go unlock Gunbreaker cause why not. Originally i was using Samurai, while i have been alternating between the two. While i was in the field i noticed something extremely strange. My gunbreaker was doing more damage than my samurai. Now i may be kinda new but like that doesnt seem all that correct. Someone please help me LMAO

[slate arrow]

It's your gear

99% it's your gear

[simple zephyr]

I was thinking to get the whole entire odin set by using the odin mantles but I guess it won't be worth it.

[slate arrow]

Gunbreaker gets some very good quality 265 body pieces as your starter set

[low flax]

just farm the unsync trial if you want the armor set

its like 10 second clears or less

if you get people to help

[slate arrow]

Youd need to spend poetics for 270 on SAM if you want to see actual performance

[onyx kiln]

how many of these do i need again for my HW relic?

[simple zephyr]

wdym unsync

[low flax]

level sync disabled

[lone totem]

pretty sure you need 6
