[robust crow]

make sure they don't accept the queue if you disbanded the party

[solar bison]

this is so weird i got storm blood and storm blood starter edition

[alpine shadow]

yes, that's why contact steam support

[robust crow]

once you find out who can't queue, tell them to fix it and then reform the party

[solar bison]

man it's square enix's cringe website

[alpine shadow]

square enix isn't a problem here, steam is

[open coral]

If you're buying it through Steam, then SE doesn't even come into the picture.

[solar bison]

i got redirected through steam from their website

[alpine shadow]

contact steam support to fix it, cause they were the one that gave you the dlc download

[solar bison]

i think the problem was around there

[rancid spindle]

Is the hunt map supposed to be empty?

[hollow gate]

The tank left and he can queue solo, and our two dps can also queue together

So we can all three queue but not together

[rancid spindle]

Trying to find stinging sophie'

[open coral]

You don't even really need to disband the party. Just have everyone check their duty finder and highlight Tam-Tara Deepcroft in their dungeon list. Whichever person has something wrong with it will see what they're missing.

[open coral]

Just to be clear... what classes were all of you?

[hollow gate]

Okay update on dungeon not queueing, we changed party leader and now it works

[robust crow]

old party leader might have had a DF setting turned on

that fucked with it

[faint flare]

Probably

[hollow gate]

I was old leader, whats DF setting?

[solar bison]

steam takes me to square enix's support i am dead

[open coral]

Duty Finder settings.

[faint flare]

The cog at the top of duty finder

[alpine shadow]

are you sure? they shouldn't do that

[whole lagoon]

Guys i have a question i am returning player after 1 year used to play on typhon but now i am moving to lich shoud i start a new game to learn basics again i was in middle of heavensward or just server transfer i don't remember much of story now

[open coral]

Don't try and get game support. Get specifically Steam client support.

[hollow gate]

aah alright ill go through it after the dungeon, tysm for help

[alpine shadow]

@solar bison https://help.steampowered.com/no/wizard/HelpWithGame/?appid=39210

going to this page goes to ffxiv site?

[open coral]

It's kind of up to you. You can always read or watch recaps, or just do NG+ or use the Unending Journey to rewatch cutscenes to refresh your memory.

[solar bison]

@alpine shadow go through the options Pepega

[queen spruce]

I wanna know if its possible for me to buy the game on steam if I played free trial using the SE launcher.

[faint flare]

Yes, non steam trial to steam is the one time you can swap

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)

[hasty nova]

is there a way to teleport directly to your house?

[alpine shadow]

you need a mini-aetheryte

[hasty nova]

i have it but i dont know how it works xd

[alpine shadow]

you place it down outside of your house

[faint flare]

Place it in your garden

Then it's in your teleport list

[terse pendant]

Sorry for the absolute stupid question but how do I get back to Gridania from Limsa or Ul'dah? None of these boats have options for areas surrounding Gridania...

[alpine shadow]

you have to use the airships if you can't teleport

[robust crow]

teleport

[faint flare]

Teleport if you attuned

Otherwise airship

[terse pendant]

where the heck is the airship?

[alpine shadow]

where are you now?

[robust crow]

try to teleport first

lol

i hope you attuned

[hasty nova]

i cant xdd it wont let me touch it

[faint flare]

Rule 1: always attune to aetherytes

[terse pendant]

oh snap~

I can teleport

thank you

[faint flare]

It's just in your teleport list

[heavy jewel]

think they will give away a free phantasia potion when new race comes out?

[faint flare]

Once you place it down

[alpine shadow]

is it placed down now?

[faint flare]

No

[hasty nova]

yep

[heavy jewel]

bunny boy or whatever

[faint flare]

They didn't for viera/hrothgar

[alpine shadow]

then you can go to your teleport menu and select your aetheryte

https://img.thaun.dev/qlzl8.png

[hasty nova]

OH i see it know

[heavy jewel]

i'm using my phantasia that i got for free to switch my dragon race so my horns and tail are black instead of white... feels like a waste a bit though

[hasty nova]

yes yes, i am used to teleport with the map

thank you so much!!

[leaden ginkgo]

I just reached level 80

Is it better to buy 510 gear now or grind it?

I have 2m and can buy

[open coral]

Either or. If you don't mind spending the gil, then go for it.

[hollow violet]

How do you best farm mythril coins for converting into plat for the Blade's set?

[leaden ginkgo]

Though, would be nice to keep it

[robust crow]

have you finished the story?

[leaden ginkgo]

Nope

[robust crow]

don't even bother with gear

[leaden ginkgo]

I just killed fatty

[faint flare]

Spam Dalriada

[robust crow]

also, check pins for my gearing guide

[leaden ginkgo]

Feels so good

[hollow violet]

Thanks!

[faint flare]

You'll occasionally get some from fates/CE but just spam Dalriada

[leaden ginkgo]

OK got it thanks!

So only buy after MSQ

[errant ice]

what is the purpose of the 30 second timer when starting a triple triad match against NPCs anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

I at least got the weapon because it's pretty

[robust crow]

if you want to save money, you should follow my guide

it'll tell you to go through all the eden raids for free i510 gear

if you don't care about money then knock yourself out

buy a full set

[leaden ginkgo]

where can i find your guide?

[robust crow]

[coarse leaf]

is there a way to make nameplates of enemies smaller?

[hollow gate]

Is there an option to hide earrings?

[sacred oracle]

GNB has no ultimate weapon ? D:

[leaden ginkgo]

yay for free stuff, thanks!

[sage mirage]

Before I spend a bunch of time upgrading skysteel DoL gear, are the augmented skysteel tools the best in the game, or should I be going for something else?

[leaden ginkgo]

i got the weap for glamour anyway

thanks!!!

i think i'll just wait

i got plenty of story to finish

[cunning loom]

skybuilder tools are currently best in the game by a very small margin

[robust crow]

FYI you can upgrade the crafter i510 to i520

which is also covered in my guide

[sage mirage]

Emperor's New Earrings

[hollow gate]

ah thank you

[rancid spindle]

Any tips for hunting bounties?

[honest anvil]

join a hunt linkshell

[leaden ginkgo]

Nice. Thanks! I think I'll do the free stuff. If I can farm 6 hours for glamour pieces, I can have the patience for actual gear

[honest anvil]

510 is also plenty power for non-endgame stuff fwiw

[cold scarab]

I'm trying to do Choco breeding and currently have a choco with all stats except speed as having 5 stars in one or both of the parents - am I correct that I still need to use covers until I can introduce a 4 star speed into the bloodline before inbreeding?

[merry cape]

is there a command i can put in a macro to start a second one after it finishes for crafting 4 star stuff or do I need to push 2 macros for it?

[dull valley]

oh god...ff14 has chocobo breeding??? Is Sqenix trying to enslave the whole world with their game?

[robust crow]

2 macros

there's no way to have a macro start another macro

[merry cape]

alright ty

[faint flare]

Well chocobo breeding is for chocobo racing

Gotta breed that winning birb

[dull valley]

all they need now is a pokemon catch/collect system

[faint flare]

There's even an mini RTS thing

[robust crow]

well

[faint flare]

With Lords of verminion

[robust crow]

i guess blue mage is sorta similar to pokemon catching/collecting

[faint flare]

Which had your minions fight otbers

It's...ok

[dull valley]

the japanese are insane lol, such a perfect game is too dangerous to exist

[cold scarab]

I just zerg the crystal every game and go afk

[faint flare]

Where all the bis lists come from

[robust crow]

lol that command says 5.2 monk bis

oh lord it actually is 5.2

[robust crow]

ignore that monk bis command actually, it's out of date

just go to the balance

[faint flare]

Yeah go to balance

[stuck fractal]

alrighty, thank you nonetheless.

[faint flare]

Dummy Monk mentors not updating their command

[robust crow]

it's before the big monk changes in 5.3 too

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyone know where the last aether is?

[idle void]

is there a way to keybind the enable/disable music function?

[cunning loom]

check your aether compass

[faint flare]

Use your aether compass

[dull valley]

@leaden ginkgo dravanian forelands aether locations

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you

[faint flare]

The compass tells you where they all are

And how you're meant to find them

[leaden ginkgo]

Gotcha mb

[robust crow]

lol idk about the 2nd part

stormblood currents are pretty shit

[dull valley]

@leaden ginkgo https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Aether_Currents for the rest, compass is nice to pinpoint once ytoure in the area but its kinda shit far away

especially if you have multiple still up

[heavy jewel]

about what percent of gear/glamour is available in the market board?

[dull valley]

ive gotten halfway to one with compass and then it changes direction because another is now closer

[robust crow]

not really a question anyone's gonna be able to accurately answer

there's a lot of glamours that aren't on the marketboard

[lone canyon]

Aether currents are more annoying as they dont tell you the Z axis of the map

[heavy jewel]

more than 70% or less?

[lone canyon]

You can find an aether current up a cliff and you have to make a huge round about to get it

[lone canyon]

less

[robust crow]

again, no one's going to answer that accurately because no one is going to go figure that out

lmao

[lone canyon]

Majority of the glamours you will find are usually earnable, the ones from mb are usually expensive as hell

[heavy jewel]

didn't say accurately...

[robust crow]

more like I'm not gonna spitball numbers

[lone canyon]

i gave you a rough estimation

this is the best i can do

[heavy jewel]

yea ty unholy

[lone canyon]

np

[heavy jewel]

wtf

[fading helm]

if u cast glam on an item u can no longer sell it on the marketboard right

[faint flare]

Correct

Using for glamour binds it

[dusty raven]

I put my account in Chile, i can still buy the game?

[delicate elk]

!mute 144811946946985984 1h

[robust crow]

if you want to be in the same guild as your friend

then you need to pick the same server

other than that, it doesn't matter

not really, actually

I read Balmung was most populated

Where can I find minfilla to start quest for mount?

[faint flare]

Story

[robust crow]

!faq mount

[zinc orbit]

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.

What’s a fast way to get seals for company?

[fleet vale]

So guys I am lvl 66 I finished all of my HW hunt mark dailies including the weekly but then I went to Kugane city to get the hunt board of Stormblood and I get this text?

[ocean radish]

i just saw Rich cambell stream clip of a Lala talking like Evil BIG BAD with the deepest voice imaginable

[robust crow]

greed literally everything in every dungeon you do

and turn it into your GC for seals

[robust crow]

yes that's a well known meme

[glad robin]

Why not the need?

Just greed?

[robust crow]

but the meme itself is a spoiler

[ocean radish]

ahhh

[robust crow]

need what you qualify for needing, and greed everything else

[ocean radish]

well its fine, i just heard the "soro soro da" and died

[robust crow]

your average player passes everything and gives up all those free seals

[ocean radish]

didint hear nothing else

[stable grail]

but there is no loot lockout for nier?

[robust crow]

nope they removed it in the patch on tuesday

[stable grail]

but what do you mean all 3 raids, wasnt that token specifically for t3?

[robust crow]

go visit the vendor right now

you'll see they ask you for 1 coin from each raid

[normal plank]

how do you solo the hellsclaw?

Is there an expanded Keybind overhaul thats recommended? I'd like to add stuff teleport, return, and the like but don't want to just start adding keybinds randomly if possible

put strafe there (previously on Q and E)

and you get 2 prime keybinds opened up

what mount is this?

[obsidian garden]

does iron will give you more aggro gen?

[robust crow]

ixion

[robust crow]

yes, every tank has a tank stance skill

[robust crow]

yes, if you picked up the journal this week

WT journals last 2 weeks

but you can pick up a new one every week

so you can complete 2 journals in 1 week if you save the one from this week

[robust crow]

specifically, iron will increases your aggro generation by 10 times, so it's literally impossible for you to ever lose aggro as long as you are doing damage

**The Blackest Night** : lvl 70 DRK (3000 MP) (15.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Creates a barrier around target that absorbs damage totaling 25% of target's maximum HP.
Duration: 7s
Grants Dark Arts when barrier is completely absorbed.
Dark Arts Effect: Consume Dark Arts instead of MP to execute Edge of Shadow or Flood of Shadow

Powered by XIVAPI

[robust crow]

it's one of the most powerful tank skills in the game

[outer mural]

it's just a very strong shield becuase 25% max hp is just a large large boost, in addition to being on a short cooldown

[robust crow]

it's so good that DRK has to pay what we call "the TBN tax"

as in, TBN is so good that their invuln sucks

[warm snow]

Aka living dead being shit

[outer mural]

as well as being able to refund its own mana cost by giving you a free usage of an offensive mana spender skill

[waxen siren]

15s only? I though it’d be longer

[outer mural]

so it's both a very fun, strong and well-designed ability

and yes, it's a huge shield that only has a 15 second cooldown

it's very powerful

It’s gonna take a while to get then lol

[outer mural]

we don't have an exact number but people, from word of mouth mind you, have said like 30%-ish

[faint flare]

And raids give 3 now

[outer mural]

but your mileage will vary

[warm snow]

Buffed but we still don't know the drop rate

[outer mural]

ye

either way it's either 12 alliance raids or fate grinding

and fate grinding would arguably be faster with average luck

[leaden ginkgo]

Has anyone had this problem before? My friend just downloaded the free trial from Steam and it's asking him for a Registration Code??

[twilit arch]

steam trial client is a bit finicky

closing and relaunching should get it to work

[leaden ginkgo]

Also tried to do the FFXIV_BOOT.cfg file fix, but he said he doesn't even have that file in his folders

Alright thanks, I'll tell them :D

[inland quarry]

is bozja really the best way to lvl 70-80 cause it's been really slow lvling my monk and it's also ming numbing

[robust crow]

it's not "the best" way

it's a pretty good way

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh nvm, he says he's tried relaunching it multiple times but it still happens

[robust crow]

supplement 70-80 leveling with roulettes, wondrous tails, and pixie beast tribe dailies

[twilit arch]

is he certain he downloaded the demo?

[outer mural]

i fucking hate the steam trial man, there's always someone with an issue with it like this and it's so cursed
i have a video i can grab that may remedy it, hold on

[leaden ginkgo]

Yup he says he downloaded the free trial form the store page

[alpine shadow]

sure the game hasn't been downloaded by a different account or he owns the game?

Yup, he just created this account and has never bought the game before No clue why this is happening

If you do that, can you still buy the full game from Steam? Or would it not work

[twilit arch]

ye

you can go from SE trail to steam full game

[whole lagoon]

Man i have to start again then from all over i was in middle of heavensward a year ago if i remember

[outer mural]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah alright, thanks guys I appreciate it

[outer mural]

steam gives you a code you enter into your mogstation account

which will automatically make it a steam account when you upgrade to full

[robust crow]

just keep playing your old character? no need to start over

[whole lagoon]

World transfer require money i am quite broke at the moment and now that i am returning after a year i have to change to a new server due to ping issues due to relocation

:pepecry:

[robust crow]

ffxiv is pretty decent with high ping scenarios

[outer mural]

after a year i'd say restarting is also just a good move to familiarize yourself with the game

[robust crow]

just play and suffer a little bit for now

[outer mural]

LMAO NO IT'S NOT

ping is terrible man

[robust crow]

i have friends playing in NA from aussie

[leaden ginkgo]

Can i drop memories of dying for my future alt jobs that i will level to 80 on one job? or i can only drop and use them on specific job i was playing while droping?

[fading helm]

but where is the option to do a venture

i dont see it on the summoning bell

[twilit arch]

can farm for future relic weapons

[whole lagoon]

Man the MSQ not again the pain

[fading helm]

oh i dont have that optionj

[pallid bluff]

does anyone have a list of all reflect quest progressions?

[twilit arch]

did you do the quest "an ill-conceived venture"? @fading helm

[outer mural]

did you give them a class and do all the associated quests to unlock ventures

[fading helm]

nope lol i didnt even know that was a thing

where would i go about doing that?

[twilit arch]

there's one in each starting city

doesn't matter which one you do

[open rivet]

is 2x Aetheryte Ring really the best a level 50 crafter can get, no ilv 70 ring?

[solid fog]

Is there a reason to use foul if you have Xeno?

[twilit arch]

pretty much ye

[robust crow]

aoe

[twilit arch]

foul is aoe

[robust crow]

2 or more targets and you should use foul

[solid fog]

ah

well its useless

i hate BLM aoe

[outer mural]

that doesn't mean it's useless

[robust crow]

BLM aoe is amazing, what?

[outer mural]

that just means you hate blm aoe

[solid fog]

it just takes way too long, and by the time i start spamming aoe everythings dead

[robust crow]

if you're level 80 and have xeno

you should be the one doing all the damage

[outer mural]

that doesn't seem to be true given the speed of pulls at 80 but w/e

[robust crow]

i regularly pull upwards of 40k+ AoE DPS as BLM in paglth'an

[outer mural]

the question was answered and this ain't the place to talk about it

[spring lintel]

Lets say im a ninja and i use an attack that uses rear damage boost (aeolian edge) If i aggroed the mob and i quickly turn behind him and use my rear attack, will it count as rear or not?

[faint flare]

Depends if the server likes you or not

[outer mural]

oddly enough yeah if you're at certain parts of the hitbox and do it right

[faint flare]

Usually no

[outer mural]

also ping matters

it's not consistent though and generally a bigger headache than it's worth

[robust crow]

make sure you're doing the aoe rotation right, btw

use triplecast on flare

[fading helm]

i feel like paladin does more damage than GNB

is that true?

[faint flare]

Nope

[robust crow]

get comfy with the triple and quadruple flare setup

and watch trash packs melt

[faint flare]

Gunbreaker does slightly more but it's close enough that it's fight dependant

[spring lintel]

In WoW when you switch specialization from DPS to Tank there is a noticeable decrease in dmg. How about here? Can tanks like gunbreaker or dark knight do a lot of dmg comparable to dps?

[faint flare]

For general uptime

[spring lintel]

I heard that tanks are "dps but taunting mobs"

[faint flare]

No specs, tanks do about 70% of a dps damage

[robust crow]

tanks and healers are generally between 50-60% of the damage a DPS can do

assuming both players are playing well

[spring lintel]

Hey thats not so bad

[robust crow]

it's significant

[faint flare]

Everyone is a dps here

Just some have more responsibility

[outer mural]

yeah everyone should pump out damage as best they can while doing their own things

tanks have simpler DPS rotations but have more complexity because they have to tank

[inland quarry]

why iz bozja empty? like i don't see anyone anywere no one is doing fates besides me

[spring lintel]

I heard GNB doesnt have a simple rotation, no?

[faint flare]

Check the player search

You could be in a dead instance

[inland quarry]

yep

[robust crow]

all the tank rotations are relatively simple, even GNB's

[faint flare]

Which means just leave and re enter

[robust crow]

GNB presses the most buttons out of all the tanks though iirc

DRK has a somewhat complicated opener I guess

[faint flare]

Gunbreaker is the most active due to its ammo combo

More things to weave

Not complex per say

Just active

[spring lintel]

What is the easiest job like, in terms of mechanics or in general, in your opinion? For example I thought black mage was easy but the more skills you get the more you have to care about things like leylines etc

[robust crow]

easiest job is RDM, DNC, or WHM

BLM is one of the hardest jobs at high end

[spring lintel]

oh

[robust crow]

it's easy to play BLM decently

[faint flare]

Well simple rotationally

[robust crow]

it's hard to play well

[faint flare]

Complex in adapting it fights

[spring lintel]

Yeah i heard its all about positioning

[naive fossil]

quick question about how a new expansion works, so i know we'll be getting the reaper and sage, but for all the other classes, will there be new abilities that fill in those last 10 levels, or will the existing abilities be spread out between the new level cap ?

[spring lintel]

I thought about this today. Probably, yeah, you can see that Black mage for example has skills up to lvl 80

[outer mural]

it's honestly not that bad, it's just a popular meme that 'HEEHOO GUNBREAKER DPS'

[spring lintel]

so its a meme or is there some truth to it?

[outer mural]

Machinist, Dancer, Red Mage and Warrior are all very easy to get into

[robust crow]

we answered it above calaria

it's not "hard"

it's just button-pressy

[spring lintel]

No no, i meant the dps part

[robust crow]

yes, GNB is the highest DPS tank

[rough lynx]

i have silver chocobo feathers and as i know i can get some gear with it, but can't find place where i can receive it, can any1 help?

[outer mural]

i would argue it's not that true at all

1. gunbreaker damage difference is minimal compared to other tanks despite it being higher
2. it's not really that hard
3. the rotation isn't that much like a "DPS rotation", whatever that may mean, more that it weaves a lot

[warm snow]

Same as gnb and dnc it'll have skills from 1-70 but you'll have them all from the start. We expect a job quest line with a big skill for clearing a lv80 job quest

[outer mural]

just play whatever tanks look cool they all do well

[grave osprey]

Newbie tank here, how should I be grabbing enmity from distant reinforcements d:

[robust crow]

run up to them and aoe

[warm snow]

Calamity salvager in starter cities

[rough lynx]

can't find them

😒

[spring lintel]

How quickly can I unlock flying?

[grave osprey]

Thought tanks were expected to stay still?

[robust crow]

well if shit's far away then you can't stay still yet

[dull valley]

@spring lintel finish ARR MSQ

[naive fossil]

ah alright ty both kat and calaria

[high crane]

Having aggro is probably prio over standing still 😄

[twilit arch]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/friend_recruit/ scroll to the bottom of the page, it shows their locations

[rough lynx]

thx ^^

[grave osprey]

Fair enough, so just get close enough to tomahawks them?

[rough lynx]

are they worth getting?

im allrdy 53 lvl 😄

[robust crow]

no I mean literally just drag your whole trash pack up the ranged mobs

and bunker down there instead of wherever you were going to

[grave osprey]

What if it were melee mobs charging after the healer?

[spring lintel]

why are SAM so popular?

[faint flare]

Cause the weeb slash

[robust crow]

because people see "omg highest DPS" and bandwagon on it

[faint flare]

Folded nippon steel

Power of God and anime

And the high dps thing

[pallid bluff]

fun

[robust crow]

sam is pretty fun though yeah

[faint flare]

Low skill floor, high skill ceiling

[robust crow]

but the reality is most samurais are pretty shit

you only get those big numbers if you're good

[dull valley]

jrpg and samurai cosplayers, name a more iconic duo

[robust crow]

nevermind that ninja is literally just naruto

samurai is where all the weebs congest

[dull valley]

naruto is for KIDS smirk darkly tilting my fedora

[little swift]

sounds like that sort of discussion can be moved to #general-discussion

[spring lintel]

yeah sorry

How "easy" (I dont know how to formulate this question otherwise) is it to get glamours you want?

[dull valley]

depends on the glamour really

[faint flare]

Just figure out where it's from and go get it

[dull valley]

some are super easy, some take a lot of farming

[lilac thicket]

Where can i find the friend codes? to give to people

[robust crow]

but the glamour i want is this "ultimate vorpal sword"

[faint flare]

Mogstation > your account > Raf banner

[spring lintel]

are Retainers the equivalent of node workers in BDO?

[faint flare]

They're your banks

First and foremost

But can be sent out to gather stuff

[spring lintel]

and how useful is that?

[faint flare]

It's free, passive mats

Provided you collect and reassign them every hour

[spring lintel]

Every hour? Mine comes back after 22 hours, maybe its because its lvl 1

[faint flare]

There's longer ventures

With a larger pool of items

[spring lintel]

IIRC it was field exploration I

[faint flare]

Yeah those are the long ones

[robust crow]

field exploration is the long ones that you can use for leveling

that you only have to check once a day

[near path]

Who put all these holes in the Praetorium? I didn't think the Alliance brought artillery.

[robust crow]

if you can check like 4 times a day, quick ventures are faster

[warm snow]

Gaius made them fire on the praetorium

Cid outright said this

[spring lintel]

The story is not so bad, I understand that stories need a proper setup to feel rewarding later but some of the ARR quests (msq) feel insignificant - I heard that heavensward won an award - was it an award based on storytelling? In other words, does the story get better later?

[warm snow]

Yes

Arr is by far the weakest story in 14

Hw and ShB are considered the best

[faint flare]

Shadowbringers won awards as well

[warm snow]

Imo ShB is better but that's neither here nor there

[faint flare]

So please look forward to it

[mellow bobcat]

hey guys, i've seen some new ffxiv skill up on reddit, were can i see all of them?

class skills*

[spring lintel]

I am, ARR is not that boring in itself, it's fun when it's about scions but some of the MSQ can feel like literal filler

[faint flare]

The new skill animations were dataminded

[warm snow]

You can't, anything on reddit is just speculator they datamined the animations from the benchmark

[near path]

During Preatorium, ||when the Primals are being ripped out of the Ultima|| does that happen automatically? Or is there something that needs to be done in the fight that I didn't see?

[mellow bobcat]

oh ok, thanks!

[spring lintel]

What is eureka? no spoilers please if available

[warm snow]

You're beating them out of the mech

[near path]

So it just happens at health thresholds?

[robust crow]

level 70 post-stormblood content

[warm snow]

Iirc yes

Same in the extreme

[spring lintel]

Do people do palace of the dead? I just unlocked it and wanted to try but i don't feel that confident in my job

[warm snow]

Yes but mostly from floor 51

Queue times from 1-50 are high

[ripe viper]

can you actually get the red one

[robust crow]

yes

[spring lintel]

Yes youre supposed to get it actually

[warm snow]

Yes

[robust crow]

it's not that hard either

[warm snow]

Just git gud

[ripe viper]

Thanks for the helpful reply. you are a credit to the community

[ripe viper]

[spring lintel]

Which triple triad npc is the best in terms of farming MGP? I'm not even talking about raw MGP but the cards which i can then sell

[robust crow]

that sounds like a pretty awful way to farm MGP...

but no I don't know whose cards sell for the most

[spring lintel]

oh

[robust crow]

do the GATEs in the gold saucer every 20 minutes

if you're really looking to farm MGP

complete the gold saucer challenge log too

[spring lintel]

I am, also im doing the lumber thing

[robust crow]

and look into playing the minigames

lord of verminion and chocobo racing

[twilit arch]

if you're willing, chocobo racing is good mgp farm. but requires a bit of time investment

since the higher end races are were the payouts get good

[spring lintel]

time investment as in learning?

[robust crow]

there's also some one-time bonuses for doing races iirc

[twilit arch]

not learning really, but actually playing and raising up a chocobo

[robust crow]

i wouldn't know though, i haven't messed with racing much

[twilit arch]

iirc its like 2hours or so to get a 'bo to 40? might be misremembering

but getting to 40, then breeding it to get a new chocobo and repeating

until you get to like t6+

takes a while

[spring lintel]

Should i even bother to do dungeons right now? (msq lvl 34 main job lvl 41) or just push msq? Yes, i'm leveling alt job through msq

[twilit arch]

focus on msq

[spring lintel]

Can fantasia change voice as well?

[faint flare]

Yes

It basically re does everything is name and starting city/class

Full on back to the character editor

[spring lintel]

Can i use my fantasia without wasting it? I want to check which voice i picked but not actually use it

[faint flare]

Yes

You can back out

[spring lintel]

Thanks thats good

[faint flare]

And keep its effect

[valid heron]

Is there a guide on what to do when you first hit 80? I dinged this morning and I'm just continuing the MSQ atm but I'm not sure where to go from here really, my friend recommended that I buy some 510 crafted gear and try out some of the 80 content but I'm not sure if there's anything else I'm missing.

[faint flare]

You can try things out forever

It's only fully consumed when you confirm changes

[prime trout]

I'm currently at the MSQ "Back and Forth" from ARR. Will the quests be better later and I have to stick through it, or does it keep being boring with long texts and barely any content in them?

[shrewd kiln]

What's BiS gear for retainers rn?

[spring lintel]

Are there any videos or explanation of the story? like ARR? I'm not a native speaker and while im confident in my english some of those dialogues are pretty archaic and sometimes i can't understand them well

[twilit arch]

!faq retainerbp

[zinc orbit]

What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

BTN/MIN: 2400 Gathering.
FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

[twilit arch]

whatever gets you to i428

[shrewd kiln]

Guess I finally have a use for those allegories

[faint flare]

I just yeet my old gear at them

And call it a day

[spark monolith]

after i complete a quest is there a way to get the other options when im given choices of gear?

[robust crow]

how far into MSQ are you?

[thorn cave]

How much more complicated is astrologian than say scholar or white Mage?

[faint flare]

The gear is just crafted or vendor gear

Nothing special about it

[robust crow]

buying i510 crafted gear isn't a bad idea, but there are other ways to get i510+ gear after MSQ that can save you money

if you've beaten ShB there's a world of content you can go and unlock

[spark monolith]

i like how some of it looks

so i can just buy from vendors?

[faint flare]

The gear itself isn't special so you can just go buy from vendor

[spark monolith]

thanks

[faint flare]

Or get it crafted

Some gear for the post patch stuff is old tome gear

But nothing is missable

[visual delta]

Aye folks - enjoying FF14 so far and have a random question. A low level dungeon drops a crafting material I need. Does running it on hard mode increase the chances of it droping?

[spark monolith]

nah its only ARR and HW stuff

[faint flare]

Hard mode dungeons are a completely different and separate dungeon

[spark monolith]

and i have excess gil anyways

[visual delta]

ty!

[opal sorrel]

when you reach 50 whats the best way to optimize gear?

[shrewd kiln]

For leveling crafters, should I head to Ishgard level 1? Also is there a guide for this

[faint flare]

Buy ironworks with poetics

Best lv50 gear

[spark monolith]

does another set unlock at lvl 60

[opal sorrel]

@faint flare how is poetics acquired?

[faint flare]

Yes

[faint flare]

Through 50/60/70 content

You get alot available to unlock after castrum and praeotirum

[spring lintel]

Can we meet the poster boy (paladin in endwalker trailer) anywhere in the game or is it just literally the player character?

[opal sorrel]

like trials, dungeon and stuff?

[valid heron]

I'm not sure how I can answer without spoilers but I'm at the point where ||I'm chasing Emet-Selch to his hideout underwater||

[faint flare]

Which gives you your first 600 tomes

Yes

You can unlock all the old ARR endgame stuff

After castrum and praeotirum

[twilit arch]

stand in for the player character

[opal sorrel]

whats castrum and praeotirum?

[faint flare]

The 2 8man dungeons you do for story

[opal sorrel]

oh

[faint flare]

To finish Base Arr

[opal sorrel]

oh okok

thanks!

so basically just follow along the story?

[robust crow]

did you see my replies above? but basically just finish MSQ. buying gear is optional

there's lots of ways to get i510 gear at no cost

[faint flare]

Gil is just the lazy man shortcut

[valid heron]

Oh no I only saw the ping. Thanks! I'll work on the MSQ more and probably try to unlock some more content from sidequests as well. I don't have a ton of gil so saving some would be nice.

[faint flare]

Remember to grab your job gear from Grendolt after you met him and finished his quest

[dark scarab]

when does fashion report reset?

[faint flare]

For starting geae

[faint flare]

Tuesday. Judging opens friday

[dark scarab]

so tomorrow?

[faint flare]

Yes

[dark scarab]

nicee

[faint flare]

And the Fr bot command will be updated

When the answers are posted ofc

[shrewd kiln]

Please help

[opal sorrel]

question for glamour is that usually a goal in the end?

[spice orbit]

Getting your first char through MSQ should be priority #1. At least through heavensward imo.

[robust crow]

google the ishgard restoration google doc, but ishgard requires level 20 in a crafter before you can start

[dark scarab]

also is there a way to know how much fashion points i've got in total? or do i just keep doing until i see the spring items in the shop

[valid heron]

What's the name of the ShB alliance raids? I want to unlock those because I think they're really cool.

[faint flare]

Nier raids

Literally nier

[twilit arch]

there's a doc pinned in #doh-dol-lounge grab the dol/doh role to see the channel

[oak ice]

Yorha: dark alliance

[faint flare]

You keep a mental check

And just check the shop

For what's buyable

[dark scarab]

well that's annoying

aight ty

[valid heron]

Ok so Nier is the alliance raid, what is eden's promise?

[oak ice]

8 man series

[twilit arch]

the 8 man raid

[faint flare]

Eden is the 8man raid tier, nier is the 24man

[robust crow]

more specifically, eden's promise is the current raid tier, e9- e12

[valid heron]

ok ok awesome. this is pretty overwhelming but I guess I don't need to be pressured to do it at a certain pace so I should just take my time (that's a weird feeling coming from wow lol)

[flint pollen]

hello folks this is some one on topic and not and you will get what i mean what im going to say
my net is slow and it will take like almost 2 days or least a day and a helf to download the whole game which is done from the launcher before you play and i like to see how i can back up the whole game and any way i can do that cause it is twice i did this and i had to restore the pc again and that is another 2 days

[valid heron]

OK cool! I've enjoyed it so far

[faint flare]

It's about to get better

[ripe viper]

I really dont get the Plus rule on triad game, even after reading 10 times lol

[valid heron]

you could try copying the files onto a USB drive or something after you install

[flint pollen]

i want a back up to my external

yeah and i did that but still it will download the whole 63000 again

so there is another file some where else

[valid heron]

oh, then I'm not sure maybe someone who's played longer can answer.

[flint pollen]

i know it is not an in game ? but it sorta relates that i want to get gaming on pc as soon i like to be

Is RDM affected by high ping? (250ms)

Click here for EU

Click here for JP

[flint pollen]

oh btw for some of you are from EU or on that server with your class there is an emergency maint but idnk when so be prepare

[vagrant crescent]

Sheltron as Paladin it says block incoming attacks. Does that work with a shield that's 19% too?

[faint flare]

It makes your block rate 100%

[twin schooner]

when do you guys think the next sale is?

[faint flare]

It layman's terms

[faint flare]

Now

[tardy tangle]

I can be a blue mage?

[faint flare]

Yes

[twin schooner]

hs it is

thank you very much

[tardy tangle]

so, what's the difference between, white, black, and blue?

[ripe viper]

Anyone have examples how this works. i dont get it

[flint pollen]

my guess the next sale would be late in aug to september or oct when the holidays are kicking in

[faint flare]

Blue mage learns spells from the enemy

White mage is healer

Black mage is big boom booms

Red mage is a caster with a melee combo burst phase

[flint pollen]

reason i say aug to sept is that we USA folks will have labor day on the first Monday of September

[twin schooner]

yeah I think I'll get it now

[dull valley]

now is definitely the best time

no guarantee when the next sale is or how much it will be

[valid heron]

Hey guys I had another question: I kinda neglected my retainer while leveling and now it's super underleveled. Should I spend the money and buy a boost for it while it's on sale or does retainer level not really matter?

[robust crow]

just spam quick ventures

they'll catch up in under a week

[flint pollen]

it is no guarantee there will be a sale just now is the time to keep looking even no holidays or past

still there is always some kind of sale

[robust crow]

your retainer level is only for gathering stuff anyway and it doesn't sound like you were doing that to begin wtih

[valid heron]

Well, I want to experience the whole game but my focus has been solely on leveling and MSQ

[twin schooner]

hmm so just one question when my 30 days runs out I still have all the expansions right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[twin schooner]

ok cool

tyvm

[faint flare]

But you're locked out the gane

[rigid mauve]

What is the quickest way to farm Bitter memories?

[robust crow]

which is fine, but your retainer level isn't really a big deal

[faint flare]

Cluster farm in bojza

[robust crow]

their level is primarily for gathering stuff, and if you aren't in a rush to do that, then you can just start leveling them at your leisure

[faint flare]

Otherwise spam antitower

[valid heron]

ok that's what i was curious about, thanks

[flint pollen]

you have your game but when you sub and it runs out then you need to resub to keep playing except for free trial

[twin schooner]

ah I see

looks like the sale is there till august 18th

[shrewd kiln]

In the Diadem, I should be picking up Grade 4 stuff only right?

[rigid mauve]

Alright, thanks. I needed to do that anyway.

[stable grail]

Did materia jump over from augmenting tomestone gear?

[robust crow]

no

when you augment gear, it essentially destroys your existing piece and gives you the augmented piece instead

it warns you that you'll lose your materia if you trade it

[faint flare]

You're trading in your gear

For a new item

[dusty jungle]

Say you play a corner card with cards adjacent to it. Say the numbers on your card is 2-8. If the numbers on the adjacent cars are 8-2 respectively, Plus happens

Cause the sum on both sides are 10-10

[ripe viper]

so in this example 5 2

[dusty jungle]

if you put that one top left, yes

[uneven dune]

Are there any reasonably efficient ways to do A Dream Fulfilled (for the anima weapon questline)? Seems like it would take an absolute fuckton of Poetics

[dusty jungle]

Plus is like the... inverse? of same

[ripe viper]

thanks for replying was giving up hope lol

[robust crow]

is that the crystal sand step?

[digital zenith]

besides MSQ and I guess raids are there any lore spoilers I should be wary about?

[robust crow]

the entire anima relic takes like 13k poetics

[uneven dune]

Yes

[robust crow]

there's no other way to get umbrite than to spend poetics

for the crystal sand, heavily recommended to get a crafter or gatherer to level 60

[uneven dune]

If I don't have a crafter or gatherer what's the best way

[robust crow]

no joke, but the best way is to get a 60 crafter or gatherer then

20-60 can be earned in a few hours through ishgard crafting

there's a method to do it without a 60 crafter/gatherer but it will cost money

[obsidian garden]

where do i find these

yes ik in central but where exactly

[slate arrow]

and by money, we mean a shit ton of leves or even more poetics grinding

[ripe viper]

just discard extra cards?

[slate arrow]

you can sell them at a TT vendor

[robust crow]

isn't there some kind of amber trade in for crystal sand or something

i read it was an "acceptable" alternative

[uneven dune]

Do I have to level both crafters and gatherers or either or

[slate arrow]

which you get from leves yes

[warm snow]

Yes, it sucks, do scrip tokens instead

[slate arrow]

either or

[prime trout]

When does the MSQ start to be less boring? Currently its running from A to B, from B to C, C sends me do a task and then I go running and talking again. Maybe a dungeon/trial/raid thrown into the mix. once every while.
Wouldnt mind it so much, if they could stop repeating everything person A said for 4 or 5 times. Feels like a bad soap opera with "this happened last time" repeats. I am currently at the "Coming to terms" quest.

Less boring? Them be fighting words.....
Jokes aside, it's like that at first, just truck through it

[slate arrow]

this happened last time was a result of the ARR patch cycle

they were still trying to work out how to write a MMO story so ARR feels more like a budget TV show

[warm snow]

@prime trout youre coming up to a good dungeon followed by an excellent trial as a build up directly towards heavensward

[hardy scroll]

Ngl, the flame general speech was a really good one, like holy shit

[prime trout]

Thank god it gets better. Cause I usually really like FF stories and was sad that the story part is so bad currently.

[warm snow]

After that you'll be at the final of patch arr when

But this is also when you'll be blocked if you haven't done the hard primals and crystal tower

Arr patches admittedly suck, but the last two, you're in the second last one, are by far the best

90% of heavensward is in ishgard so this patch is especially relevant

[faint flare]

The post arr stuff is a slog yes

But just need to power through

[lavish sierra]

can someone explain p3 of royal menagerie as dps? I read but im quite confused

[robust crow]

EX?

[prime trout]

Tbh, I started skimming over the texts 15 quests ago, because it was so boring. If this one is one better, then I definitely have to slow down again.

[lavish sierra]

normal, MSQ duty

[slate arrow]

there's only 2 parts

[robust crow]

yeah I was gonna say

[faint flare]

Well adfs

[robust crow]

i don't think there's a p3 in normal

lol

[faint flare]

If you want to count that

[warm snow]

3 if you count the adds phaae

[faint flare]

As a phass

[warm snow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[lavish sierra]

oh no 3 platforms phase in normal?

[digital zenith]

how do you tick off sightseeing log?

[prime trout]

Have to check if I already did the hard primals. The crystal tower is finished though. Can queue while doing quests anyways.

[warm snow]

Pray, lookout, sometimes something weird, it deoends

[slate arrow]

tl;dr you want to attack the tail when it slams down because popping that does Big Damages

[warm snow]

The log entry hints at it but a guide is honestly recommended

ESPECIALLY FOR ARR

[faint flare]

Just dodge telegraphs. Don't move after diamond dust... Go into water for hellfirex don't touch water for judgement bolt...keep running into the centre for aerial blast

[lavish sierra]

o7

[faint flare]

Slap the tail

[warm snow]

Spank him

[whole ember]

are there any reccomended spots to buy the maps for flying faster for?

[warm snow]

tail is technically a dragons ass right

[robust crow]

there are no maps that let you fly faster

[faint flare]

Maps don't work on flight

[warm snow]

Maps don't increase flight speed

[faint flare]

Flying is max speed

They're for ground speed

[digital zenith]

oh I see

[warm snow]

Honestly unnecessary unless you're a completionist

[digital zenith]

yeah there's a hint there

thanks

[ripe viper]

is there a way to not do the tutorial but get the card pack?

[warm snow]

In which case, dude it's an mmo; fucking stop

[slate arrow]

i'm fairly sure you have to do the tutorial to unlock TT in general

[ripe viper]

Yeah ive done the tutorial but each rematch it goes through again

[warm snow]

What you get for winning a rematch is random if that's what you mean

The star icon means you've beaten them

The icon disappears altogether when you can't win any new cards from them

[uneven dune]

Jesus I need 5k poetics for just the Umbrites?

Zzz

[ripe viper]

Yeah i want to keep fighting for the random card but as its the tutorial match i win, dont get the card but then when i rematch it does the tutorial each time

[faint flare]

Welcome to relics

[ripe viper]

makes it really slow

[warm snow]

Pray to rngesus

[slate arrow]

oh you can just buy some of the cards from the TT vendor

[warm snow]

He demands a blood sacrifice

[ripe viper]

That seems better lol

[robust crow]

you would've just spent 6k poetics in the last step anyway lol

[slate arrow]

either directly or via the card packs at the bottom

[ripe viper]

thanks

[uneven dune]

That's true but

[warm snow]

Probably more lol

[uneven dune]

I'm still sad

[warm snow]

Anima is poetics the relic

[faint flare]

It'd like 13k or more

[slate arrow]

it's called a poetics sink for a reason

[faint flare]

Via poetics

[uneven dune]

Might go work on the 2.x relic instead lol

[robust crow]

FYI for the pneumites in a later step

[faint flare]

Oh we feel sorry for your soul

[robust crow]

probably better to use 80k GC seals to get those

[warm snow]

5k poetics, that's adorable. If you work it all out an anima relic costs around 20k+

[faint flare]

Books will no be kind

[warm snow]

What kind of idiot would do all the zodiac relics!?

[robust crow]

also the anima relic is by far the easiest relic

so if you think a poetics sink is bad

[uneven dune]

I'm like 2/3 of the way through the books step and I've heard that's the worst part

[robust crow]

you're really going to hate the other relics

42 runs of tam-tara deepcroft

[warm snow]

I mean yes, but there's also the zodiac step

And if you're not prepared...

[uneven dune]

I mean I did the whole Bozja relic and kinda enjoyed it so I decided to go back and do some past relics

[warm snow]

Bozja is the easiest relic we've ever had

And I've done almost every relic in the game

Because I am that fool

[fathom wasp]

Anyone free and near Thanalan that could help me kill 2 NPCs for this PLD Quest, I got 3/4 down but I can't line up the Kill on the last two 😶

[warm snow]

No

Just do it yourself, slow and steady

It's scaled for arr paladin and that was way weaker than what you have now

You have defensive cooldowns, if needs be you have potions

[uneven dune]

I kinda enjoyed Bozja

[warm snow]

It's scaled to solo it

[lavish vortex]

Is there any specific way to farm for a specific piece from a dungeon? Or just repeat until you get lucky?

[warm snow]

Sacrifice your first born child to rngesus

[fathom wasp]

Yikes, sorry asking for help, yikes

[robust crow]

unsync it if it's low level

[lavish vortex]

Lol thanks, it’s from a shadowbringers dungeon so rip 🥺

[warm snow]

People be farming heroes gauntlet for weeks for tea bis

[robust crow]

their point was that instead of getting someone to carry you there, you can probably do it yourself by playing better/more efficiently

if you aren't already, mitigate and use your stun

[warm snow]

Also some quest targets can't even be targeted by other players

[fathom wasp]

You guys are getting that emotional over one quest and a call for help, super cringe I'll walk away no worries be good

[tardy tangle]

did maintenance JUST activate?

[dull valley]

@fathom wasp also your post is better suited for a lfg channel not this one

[warm snow]

To say nothing of shit when have solo duties

[warm snow]

There's no scheduled maintenance

[terse pendant]

Do you get your first mount via the storyline or is it just unlocked as something you can buy after a certain quest?

[warm snow]

At least not in na

[robust crow]

!faq mount

[warm snow]

Msq

[zinc orbit]

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.

[digital zenith]

how do you activate first person mode?

[robust crow]

tldr yes you get your mount as part of msq

[warm snow]

EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress @terse pendant

[hardy scroll]

Does it matter what company I choose?

[terse pendant]

omg im lvl 30 and no mount in sight 😭

[warm snow]

!faq grandcompany

[zinc orbit]

Grand Company FAQ

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:

Grand Company Gear

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.

[dull valley]

@terse pendant msq is not based on job level

[terse pendant]

I know

[robust crow]

you are very likely going to outlevel MSQ if you play only one job

[terse pendant]

I'm just tired lmao

[warm snow]

Your level and where you are in the story have nothing to do with each other

[robust crow]

pick up another job or 3

[uneven dune]

Lifehack level ACN you get 2 jobs

[dull valley]

the MSQ is a marathon, not a sprint. Take is slow and enjoy the ride. Youll get there soon enough

[terse pendant]

Well I heard bard is lvl 30 and I wanted to try that job

[robust crow]

bard is also locked behind MSQ

[terse pendant]

...end me

[robust crow]

if you haven't even gotten your mount yet then you're even further away from bard

[warm snow]

That's a blue mage spell and blue mage is locked behind msq

[terse pendant]

LMAO

so only the super beginner classes are available then

[dull valley]

the MSQ is the backbone of the game and its a journey

[terse pendant]

cuz' I heard astrologian is lvl 50 .-.

[warm snow]

Classes are baby/trial versions of their real jobs

[uneven dune]

Astro is in Ishgard

Which is...

Locked behind MSQ

[timid frost]

For my Duty Roulette, i only have Lv.16 Leveling, and Lv. 10 Guildhests, but my battle job is lvl 30. Is there a way to unlock the higher level ones or do i just run Dungeons my level?

[terse pendant]

MAN

[tidal mica]

if I want to fly in heavensward, do I need the aether currents from each area?

[dull valley]

@tidal mica yes

[faint flare]

That's the minimum level

[warm snow]

Astrologian is a heavensward job and you can't get it til you enter the heavensward city which again, msq

[faint flare]

Of the roulette

[terse pendant]

do I have to play them to unlock the cooler jobs

[tidal mica]

alright thx @dull valley

[robust crow]

AST isn't only just locked behind MSQ, it's locked behind a lot of msq

[faint flare]

Roulettes give you xp that scales to your level

[spring elk]

does squenix have live chat, or is it only email?

[robust crow]

like quite literally probably 60 hours of playtime before you unlock ast

[timid frost]

Oh I actually didn’t know that, thank you.

[warm snow]

Mostly, only arr jobs have baby classes

[dull valley]

@terse pendant depends on the job, some are locked behind side quests

[digital zenith]

literally kneeling over and over in this cave and it says there's a vista and it's not ticking it off

[robust crow]

you'll be way past level 50 before you get there

[terse pendant]

holy smokes '_'

[uneven dune]

@digital zenith make sure you use /lookout

[warm snow]

Arr sightseeing logs are almost all time locked

[faint flare]

Try /lookout, /pray and /sit

[terse pendant]

everything is super gated lmao.

[digital zenith]

I used everything

but kneel was hinted

but I guess it's time locked

[faint flare]

We're not kidding when we say story locks EVERYTHING

It's a RPGMMO
