im trying to unlock the quest "the house that death built" in New Gridania, x-12, y-13.

could someone please assist whenever possible? 🙂

[dire prawn]

PotD isn't in the duty list

You have to go to Quarrymill and speak to the Wood Wailer

[naive ridge]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Grand_Company_Ranks this is the list of all the steps

[naive ridge]

depends on your region

How can I download the free trial if I created an account while using my phone? It doesn't want to let my download it on my pc

[tacit halo]

@dire prawn I understand now! thank you for taking the time to explain 🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

damn I did it in an awkward time then, thanks

[naive ridge]

oh it seems like the regions dont matter

i was wrong my bad

[slate arrow]

wdym

[naive ridge]

yeah thats the reset time

[slate arrow]

this game uses a seperate launcher to update itself

steam only downloads the launcher if that's what you're trying to do

[shadow knoll]

So I created an account for the free trial but I got an error saying that it cannot load the download website so I went onto my computer to log in and it tells me that I already own the game

[dire prawn]

I have to do Dzemael to promote?

[shadow knoll]

and it refuses to allow me to download it

Enquiry about account issue, SE doesnt permanently delete account and "blacklisted email address"?
the thing is my friend told me about new free trial T&C , and i tried since i reach 16 day of playing ,

I've come to conclusion that i want to buy and transfer from my secondary(active) to primary(deleted) email
but mogstation doesnt allow me to change email address .

what should I do if i still want to transfer my email?

[leaden ginkgo]

okay so how do you go from the doman enclave to gangos? the docks only has one guy and he just brings you to the glittering sea

[manic schooner]

hey guys why cant we apply glamour to belts?

[humble mason]

I’m pretty sure you can’t see your belt on your character

And they plan on removing belts in endwalker I think

[manic schooner]

oh really? damn.. havent noticed that

btw are the clan marks and FC marks the same for all players daily/weekly?

[pure pecan]

can i be logged into my ffxiv acc from both steam and its own launcher?

[dull valley]

can warriors be dps or are they exclusively tanks?

So, I'm on the Resistance Remembers Quest for the Resistance weapon and I want to know how many memories drop in the two raids you can do (HW and SB)? Or is it better to just farm Fates for those.

Guys, is there any help info about racing chocobo. My racing chocobo is almost perfect pedigree 9, 19/20 star, foul, and super sprint. Do I need all 4 since my acceleration is 3 star and I read it as less importance

[digital zenith]

when if ever does the status duration reset for enemies?

like sleep can be 30 secs and then if you cast again it's 15 and then eventually it's just resisted

[dull valley]

is there a way to see my critical hit chance?

[jade quartz]

https://ffxivchocoboracing.wordpress.com/ this site is terribly formatted for navigation but it's the most comprehensive resource I know.

[autumn oasis]

Do GATEs and chocobo races count for this achievement, or do only minigames count?

[jade quartz]

Acceleration is less important so it's usually not capped but it's still good to have max stars so you can still have the maximum amount

[jade quartz]

I believe they count yes

[digital zenith]

this Sludge from the earth worm makes me take too much damage

DoT

30 secs reapplied over and over

that Blue mage guide is stupid, I'll try something else

Do any of you know what the sound log #/name is for the Invalid Target sound effect?

Nevermind I think I found it- sound/system/se_ui.scd/49 (# varies)

For anyone using SoundFilter addon, use that file name to remove that horrible beeping when u have an Invalid Target, or you're spamming a button on cooldown

can someone help me with these quest

I cant seem to be able to show their completed

[proud willow]

you can turn off that beep/message normally too

[leaden ginkgo]

I can screen share

[leaden ginkgo]

WHAT HOW? It's my understanding that the option in game removes ALL system sounds

rather than just THAT

[leaden ginkgo]

What quest are u having trouble with?

[proud willow]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/cwn1pe/yhokos_weekly_helpful_settings/

[leaden ginkgo]

water, water everywhere

[proud willow]

"Display error messages when actions fail" and "Display recast timer error messages"

[proud willow]

if the messages are turned off, you don't get the sound either

[jade quartz]

disables the popup red text as well as the sound

[leaden ginkgo]

I turned those off but I still hear the beeping? 😮

[jade quartz]

did you apply changes?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes LOL

I turned off

[jade quartz]

an error will still play when you cannot attack anything

How many promotions are left now that I'm at Chief Storm Sergeant?

[leaden ginkgo]

id did many times

[jade quartz]

going up starting from bottom right

the highest rank available to players is captain

As long as it stops beeping when I'm trying to queue a skill during CD, this works perfect! Thank you guys!

[rich gazelle]

is running dungeon with squadron worth it?

i'm now 1st flame lieutenant

[dire prawn]

So I have three left

Anyways

[rich gazelle]

if i want to level my alt jobs frm level 30

[leaden ginkgo]

Sorry I had a problem to fix of my own! Did u get it sorted out?

[dire prawn]

It's telling me I have to do a trial and my second GC hunt log

[rich gazelle]

am i getting same exp as if i run duty finder?

[dire prawn]

Can I do any trial?

[leaden ginkgo]

@leaden ginkgo sadly not yet but I can screen share it

If the quest is giving a basic erorr that u know u tried to fix

Have u tried re-logging?

Because if it's an ACTUAL system error, we can't help with that. Or are u just not able to find something, like an NPC?

I can tru

try*

If you haven't even begun the quest, try quitting and re-accepting it as well

that might work

[dull valley]

you can fish there?!?!?

[leaden ginkgo]

illl givve it as shot

[proud willow]

If you have the Dunefishing trait unlocked

[boreal storm]

And dunefish bait

[dull valley]

wow thats crazy

[honest anvil]

crazy thing is … there are even crazier fishing spots kek

[boreal storm]

Aether/magma

[honest anvil]

spoiler

[boreal storm]

It’s in the traits menu

[lucid birch]

so i bought a glamour set on the mog station but realized my torso armor chest was full allready and i dont have the certain item i purchased but have evrything else am i screwed?

[honest anvil]

ye i was jk

definitely not screwed

moogle probably still have it

or it’s in your inventory

[lucid birch]

already check has no new mail for me

[proud willow]

try typing /isearch and the first word of the item's name

[honest anvil]

do an /isearch first

[autumn jetty]

Whats the best way to grind Wolf Marks other than doing daily frontline?

[vast torrent]

doing regular frontline

[boreal storm]

If the armor chest is full, it would’ve gone into your inventory

[karmic niche]

where do i buy BLU weapon?

[vast torrent]

why does being a crafter or gatherer need you to be every single other crafter or gatherer

why....

[worthy patrol]

can we see the stats on how many times we've played golden saucer minigames? I really want to know how many times i play out on a limb while grinding for the sabotender

[autumn jetty]

so just keep queuing for the frontline daily challenge? Still the best way to grind wolf marks after the daily bonus has been used?

[honest anvil]

BLU needs no weapon

[vast torrent]

If I had the money to level all crafters and gatherers i wouldnt be doing CRAFTING AND GATHERING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[karmic niche]

._.

[honest anvil]

but gears and accessories for casters

that’s your blu gears

[vast torrent]

and if you DONT level all crafters and gatherers you'll need to buy shit off the MB and that ALSO COSTS MONEY

[honest anvil]

basically caster gears = weapons for blu

[karmic niche]

i know that xD

i thought blu get weapon for lower lvl

[honest anvil]

which is why power leveling isn’t recommended at all …

take it easy

and do all of them at once

[vast torrent]

I just want to be 1 crafter

i dont want everysingle one of them

[boreal storm]

Too bad

[vast torrent]

fuck DOH/DOL

im just gonna be poor

[proud willow]

There are still many items that can be crafted for a profit by buying all the materials off the MB and then crafting it

It's just that those items might sell slowly, or they might crash at any time

[honest anvil]

crafting is an all or nothing package fren

for your profit, and sanity at least

[vast torrent]

then fuck it, im just gonna be poor

[slate arrow]

The margins on most items are so thin you need to omnicraft to get any sort of reasonable profit

[granite zephyr]

the gear I obtain before I unlock glamour, will that gear be saved as glamour? If the glamour system works the same way the transmog system does in wow

[slate arrow]

No

[civic rune]

Anyone else been getting occasional DCs lately

[honest anvil]

many

cause check the 📌

[slate arrow]

There's no transmog log

[vast torrent]

equipped gear doesn't save, you need to store it in the glamour dresser using glamour prisms

[slate arrow]

The closest is the glamour dresser which requires you to deposit it

[granite zephyr]

alright thank you

[formal crystal]

Is it kind of random whenever Discord overlay decides to work? Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't. Discord run as admin, I run FFXIV through XIVlauncher.

[vast torrent]

you use 1 glamour prism to put gear in your glamour dresser and then you can use that gear for glamour plates

but anyways. time to be poor

[leaden ginkgo]

how dO respawn

[vast torrent]

press and hold the button?

[leaden ginkgo]

I gotnothign on my scren

im only lvl 15

[boreal storm]

Select the revive prompt in the corner

You probably just dismissed it

[magic creek]

Bottom right corner?

i wish Sage would come out sooner

[queen flicker]

Can you just immediately change your mind and start learning a different class?

[leaden ginkgo]

You can be all jobs on one character. Mind you they start at different levels

[proud willow]

you have to get your first class to 10 and do the level 10 class quest, but after that you can pick up new classes as often as you want

[queen flicker]

Yeah ik I just mean like RIGHT from the get go

Ahhh ok level 10

[magic creek]

Is there anywhere on here, or somewhere else, that I can find people to help for certain content? For instance, I'm working on my lvl 60 relic weapon and I'm on the light farming stage so ideally I want to farm S Alexander unsynced BUT I never finished all of Alexander and I need to do that first.

[proud willow]

Usually people will ask in Novice Network or in their FC if they have one, or else resort to Party Finder

we have a recruitment channel but it's mainly used for advertising FCs and statics rather than individual raids

[magic creek]

Is there a way to rejoin the novice network?

[proud willow]

If you're still a sprout, any mentor can invite you

[magic creek]

Not a sprout anymore.

[proud willow]

Then the only way is if you become a Mentor

[magic creek]

Ok, thx

[mint hawk]

I had a bad exsperience with the hole novice network. Some random guy invited me but the only thing i got was alot of different people spamming my chat with dutch so i just couldnt stay in it as it was distracting.

[void vigil]

Is there a way to display chat bubbles above players heads when they talk in /say ?

[jade quartz]

There is a third-party plugin to do that

If you use xivlauncher then I believe it can be installed via the launcher

!faq quicklauncher

[zinc orbit]

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[digital zenith]

is there a blue mage discord?

[autumn jetty]

Augmented Exarchic gear is useless after getting Cryptlurker's, right? Just desynth it?

[jade quartz]

Note as usual this is strictly-speaking against the FFXIV User Agreement, so do not discuss it ingame.

[ornate moon]

Probably too wide of a question to ask but
Anyone know pretty good ways to farm or earn good amounts of gil for 2 level 36 Black Mages?

[leaden ginkgo]

dcan comeone help me out over discord screen share?

[autumn jetty]

MSQ gives decent gil.

and you'll unlock access to better sources for gil as you progress through MSQ

[ornate moon]

So for now just keep progressing through the story?

[fresh viper]

is the ff15 car mount going to be time limited or perma?

[jade quartz]

time limited

[fresh viper]

thanks

[jade quartz]

in the future after the event it may be added to the cash shop

[autumn jetty]

Yeah, that's what I'd do. Don't worry about gil, you get more than enough just selling MSQ gear on the MB.

[ornate moon]

Okay dude, thank you :D

[autumn jetty]

Sure thing, glhf 🙂

[vital ruin]

when tanks run in blu groups do they get the spells aswell?

cos they usually disband after we get spells. im thinking did he get too as a tank

[proud willow]

if you weren't on BLU, you don't learn the spell

[autumn jetty]

I can only possess one Cryptlurkers Ring...? What?

[vital ruin]

then why do they leave after the runs done

[proud willow]

if they came in as a non-BLU, it's typically because they are just helping out

[vital ruin]

ohh

[mint hawk]

Hey.. Is there a way to start gardening with out buying a plot?

For the last couple of days i spent about 4 - 5h Hours a day looking for a small plot to buy.

I Finnaly found one that was last night.

But i was crushed when i saw the massage:
you need to be atleast [Second Serpent Lieutenant] to buy a plot..

[proud willow]

though you do sometimes see PFs where they say there will be 2 runs so people can swap jobs

[vital ruin]

i c

[proud willow]

If you join an FC that has a house, and they give you permission, you can garden in their plot

[dire prawn]

So I'm doing the 45 AST job quest

[proud willow]

but other than that, the only gardening you can do is in a house or apartment (with flower pots)

[dire prawn]

And I'm guessing from how they've been going that you used to have to do your AST job quests to unlock the different cards?

[proud willow]

nah, ASTs had all 6 cards right from the start

the quests just give you the lore

[mint hawk]

You can get appartment with flover pots?

Can you cross breed in those?

[proud willow]

unfortunately not

[thin vale]

mmm I just dl'ed the demo and I get stuck at character creation easily. Is this the right place to ask for help with that?

[proud willow]

it's the right place for me to plug my character creation video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B92qQA5iFm4

[thin vale]

it's kinda specific since I was trying to emulate another character design 😅

[gritty oracle]

Does Fallgourd Float have a Battlewarden for guildhests?

[proud willow]

well, you won't find that in the video

you can ask here though

[thin vale]

just dunno if it's possible with moon cats, are pics okay?

[dull valley]

is the whisper-go mount unobtainable now?

[mint hawk]

I saw that a small plot costs 1mil but permits and house and all that adds alot more in Price later on.

Can i buy a plot and just have a single garden bed standing on it?

[proud willow]

If you don't build a house on the plot, you can't refresh your ownership, so you will lose it in 45 days

[gritty oracle]

Yes, until the next Yokai event

[gritty oracle]

The plot costs around 3 million, not 1. A house on a small plot is 500k

[dawn cove]

Do melds work in bozja/DRS , if u have bozja gear?

[thin vale]

I like this character from street fighter but don't know if I'd have to make a sun miqo'te to get the skin tone

[proud willow]

you can have brownish skin on a moon cat

[dull valley]

@gritty oracle that a yearly event or...

[spring oasis]

who takes these

[gritty oracle]

It's a crossover event with Yokai Watch. We had one in 2016 (?) and 2020

[gritty oracle]

Mor Dhona, ironworks weapon girl

The one on the right

[thin vale]

ah ok I was just worried it would be too ashen 😅

[mint hawk]

3m for the only the land it self?

I thought that was in a total with building permits and all that

[spring oasis]

@gritty oracle she isnt at a stand is she

From consolegameswiki:
Currently existing tomestones can be exchanged for Allagan Tomestone of AllegoryAllagan Tomestones of Allegory for a limited time. The exchange service can be accessed by talking to Auriana in Mor Dhona (X:22.7 Y:6.7).

[dull valley]

you can mail it to me

😄

buying things from market board mainly

[obsidian garden]

Teleporting, gear, craftin materials

[gritty oracle]

You could spam leves, but with ishgard you can stock up for crafting jobs

[late fog]

is there a way to search all items containing - Rainbow of healing? on the market or do I need to find each item individually

[gritty oracle]

I think you can partial match search on the MB

[copper hound]

so basically if i grind it out in ishgard i get a 2 for 1 deal leveling my next crafter for cheap?

[gritty oracle]

Yep

[queen flicker]

Okay how do I leave combat with a striking dummy. I regret my decision to attack it because it will NOT drop aggro

[worn lantern]

ok thanks

i was confused lol

[dull valley]

is PotD groups only or can you do it solo?

[kind bronze]

1 to 4 players iirc

[dire prawn]

There's a title for doing all 200 floors of PotD solo

[verbal rune]

Solo is possible, but hard asf

[rugged flicker]

Anyone have images of the Deep Dungeon Sprites for the jobs that were added since Palace of the Dead?

[leaden ginkgo]

Can i invite someone in a different data center?

[coarse flame]

any active free company ?

[sour pumice]

how do i do this fashion report thing ? XD

[rugged flicker]

Google what this week's fashion report is.

Easiest way XD

[dire prawn]

no

[dire prawn]

Tomorrow the Fashion Report comes out and you can use the Kupo command to see it for free gp

[leaden ginkgo]

what about in endwalker?

[dire prawn]

Also no since it depends on when cross DC travel comes out and how it'll work

[sly thistle]

where do i collect the items when i buy them from the market board?

[rugged flicker]

You get them immediately 🙂

[sly thistle]

ty

[sour pumice]

the go directly to your inventory

[proud willow]

They go directly to your armoury chest or inventory when purchased

Nope

[sour pumice]

thank you both !

[fast hull]

Hi is there any of you guys have issues disconnecting, in Vegas right now.

[wicked wagon]

wait yeah

exept im in virginia

no lag, no signs of any problems and it just boots me

during raids

what server are you on

[fast hull]

I can't even get in Primal Lamia

[queen flicker]

Is there any kinda Rested XP buff or something that means I should log out in sanctuary?

[wicked wagon]

yes

[queen flicker]

Hype thanks

[wicked wagon]

rested exp

[dire prawn]

!faq restedexp

[zinc orbit]

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.

[dire prawn]

:^)

[queen flicker]

Sorry

[wicked wagon]

anyone else having that issue though

because i am in a discord call and my internet isint dropping, it just keeps disconnecting from the server only during content with other people

[fast hull]

Me just gonna try it tomorrow. Hopefully it will fix itself

[wicked wagon]

is it because of the huge populations?

ive never had any issues before

at all

[indigo vale]

Good evening, is there a way I can take a gpose of myself while holding a Performance instrument?

[stuck sail]

Hello all, I just bought this game complete edition off steam and installed on my PC.

My brother is playing on his PS5 and bought the complete editions I have his old PS4 on my gf place. Is it possible to install the complete edition on the ps4 same account and login to my account which I have been playing on windows?

Without purchasing another version of it

[alpine shadow]

You would need to purchase for your playstation account

[stuck sail]

Can I install the version of his copy that he bought on my PS4?

[alpine shadow]

You cant use the same ps4 account to play on an another ffxiv account

No

[stuck sail]

I see

Thanks for the help!

[wicked wagon]

but im not sure about switching back to pc after though

[alpine shadow]

That is fine

[wicked wagon]

if that was your plan

[stuck sail]

It will be a problem if I were to switch back pc?

[alpine shadow]

No

You already own it on PC

[stuck sail]

I main on my pc, just that I spend weekends over at my gf’s

Awesome

[alpine shadow]

So you would just need to buy it on ps5/ps4 on your account and login with your ffxiv account when prompted

Just hope that your account isnt already linked

[oblique yew]

any tips before starting eureka?

[proud willow]

If you see an NM (Fate) don't just attack it

People wait for everyone in the zone to get there and kill it together to share credit

[oblique yew]

like in BSF and zadnor?

[proud willow]

Bozja enforces it though, by making you sign up for a CE

Eureka's more like an honor system

[gritty oracle]

Mobs have a line of sight Aggro. Basically you can sneak behind them without fear of getting Aggro. This enables you to enter pretty high level areas. I'd recommend you tag along a NM train, and travel in their pack to wherever they go. You'll probably die a few times, but it's faster to level than mindless grinding

[mint hawk]

If I join an FC to use theire garden beds, can others in the FC take the plants / seeds or is it safe to plant with people you dont know / trust?

[oblique yew]

so which elements are better to level up first? or are all of them relevant?

[proper crag]

do you get more customization options during character creation if you buy the game?

[proud willow]

You put all of your magicites in the same column

and then rotate it to be strong against whatever enemy you're fighting

[gritty oracle]

Depends on permissions. If you're at the same rank as everyone else, better not to garden unless you trust people not to steal your crops

[proud willow]

You can right-click an enemy and choose to automatically rotate to offense

[gritty oracle]

Just the ability to make Viera/hrotgar

Tbh I spread my magicite out, and as a lowbie you want defensive magiaauto

[haughty topaz]

ok its been 10 mins trying to go to the MSQ

wtf is going on

[gritty oracle]

Just type /magiaauto twice

[proud willow]

Is it Dravanian Hinterlands?

[gritty oracle]

You have to pathfind to the next quest objective. If you're having trouble, try looking up a YouTube walkthrough

[proud willow]

if so, you have to leave Idyllshire through the west exit in order to travel through the west half of the zone

[leaden ginkgo]

Where can i get the Augmented Wizard's Set black mage set from the base game? I think i deleted my own set a while back, any help?

[gritty oracle]

Nah that map looks different

[haughty topaz]

yes

[gritty oracle]

Huh

I stand corrected

[haughty topaz]

[gritty oracle]

Is it the lv50 gearm

[hybrid notch]

What does depleted magicite do? Or is it just story plot?

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

[haughty topaz]

oh

[mint hawk]

Ty

[gritty oracle]

You can get the lv45 set by farming a lv50 dungeon and trading the antiquated gear to mor dhona. Then craft a wizard's attire augmentation, and trade the gear piece and the crafted item

[haughty topaz]

am there TY

[gritty oracle]

Plot

[proud willow]

No, the Antiquated items get you the ilvl 90 set

the ilvl 50-55 set is the one that can be augmented to become dyeable

You can get that straight from the Calamity Salvager

[verbal rune]

What does it mean if a quest is 'quest sync'?

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah but i already did that, isnt there a npc to retrieve the items?

[kind bronze]

You get downleveled

[leaden ginkgo]

cuz i like i said ithink i deleted it

[hybrid notch]

Fair enough

[verbal rune]

No, not for that

I meant it for ShB side-quests

[proud willow]

Those will sync up to your level, in both difficulty and rewards

[verbal rune]

Oh, I get it

[gritty oracle]

Oh apparently just any calamity salvager will sell it

[idle void]

what are these symbols?

[proud willow]

Flight unlocked

[dull valley]

can you assign target markers to a hotkey so I dont have to do the menu to quickly mark 1,2,3?

[idle void]

I can fly? o.O

hahahahah omfg

[proud willow]

finishing 2.0 gives you flight in all outdoor ARR zones

[idle void]

those little wings on the chocobo xD

I love this game man

[copper hound]

you can do desynthesis on any crafter job right? even culinarian at lvl 30?

[digital zenith]

why does bristle not work with my primal spells?

BLU

doesn't increase shock strike or eruption

[proud willow]

You can make a macro that says /enemysign attack1 <t>

It's fairly unusual to mark enemies in most content though

[open rivet]

desynth will put desynth xp to the respective crafter, regardless what you are on at the time. you can desynth lv. 80 items at crafter level 1 tho so no lock there

[gritty oracle]

It only applies to spells. Shock Strike etc are abilities

[copper hound]

oh thats neat, thanks

[dull valley]

@proud willow I was just wondering if there was a keybind for it in the menu somewhere, thanks for the info!

[digital zenith]

oh? abilities?

[proud willow]

There might also be a keybind, I'm not logged in to look

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyone know what this is? I cant start the game up :/

[dull valley]

I scrounged around but didnt see one out of hand, but that doesnt mean anything knowing me lol

[gritty oracle]

On the GCD - spell or weaponskill
Off the GCD - ability
There are rare exceptions like mudras

[open rivet]

looks like a fatal directx error to me

try dx9

[proud willow]

Also, derp, you can just drag the mark icons onto the hotbar, making a macro unnecessary

[humble mason]

how do I use the spoiler warning thing

[leaden ginkgo]

How do i try dx9?

[gritty oracle]

||spoiler||

[open rivet]

||spoiler||

[open rivet]

go to settings in the launcher, you can swap there

[leaden ginkgo]

Just turn off Dx11 support?

[fickle meadow]

what setting do i need to change in order for my skills to be locked to my own class? whenever i change between smn > drk or vice versa it doesnt change the hotbar, it only changes 1,2,3 but not 4

[open rivet]

ye, if it works then it's just dx11 not working, if it still doesn't work you should contact SE support

[rigid narwhal]

hotbar sharing

[obsidian patio]

Character config > hotbar settings > shared

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah still no dice :/ Dont work

[fickle meadow]

when i do change it and hit apply hotbar 4 disappears

[humble mason]

ARR spoilers

||around how far into the ARR story am I? The waking sands was just attacked and Minfilia was captured. ARR has been a drag so far, I’m hoping to break through into HS where I hear the story really goes up in quality||

[digital zenith]

when does status resistance expire?

[proud willow]

since 4 is no longer shared, you have to fill it back up on each class

[fickle meadow]

ahh gotcha

[digital zenith]

also it seems like a lot of blue mage spells are similar in effect

even though the visuals are really cool

[copper hound]

you still need to unluck desynthesis at lvl 30 on a crafting class right?

but after that all crafters can do it?

[proud willow]

more than halfway. about 55 quests to go

[obsidian patio]

The crafters need to be at/above 30, but yes

[proud willow]

but then more quests to do in post-ARR

you are just past what many people consider to be the absolute low point of the whole game

[humble mason]

Yeah the last plot point definitely piqued my interest

Beforehand I had been skipping a lot of dialogue, I’ll be honest

[proud willow]

reasonable

[kind bronze]

cant blame ya

[leaden ginkgo]

This error is a bit of a pain, and there's a lot of things you can try to do to fix it. Unfortunately even Square Enix recommends the following -

1. Remove game and all content
2. Restart PC
3. Install and run a registry cleaner
4. Restart PC
5. Reinstall the game
6. Restart PC
7. Launch game to see if issue is resolved

[kind bronze]

Cant you put the big game files on a stick to reduce the time to reinstall?

[valid heron]

Hey guys, what's the best way to find a FC? I joined a random "social" one but no one really talks and it's got a million people that I think are probably there just for the buffs.

[leaden ginkgo]

Oof. Reinstalling the game would blow ass cheeks with my 1mb/s download speed lol

You could risk just bringing the error back by moving any files

[kind bronze]

lmao that sounds familliar

[gritty oracle]

! communityfinder

[late olive]

guys after finishing part 1 MSQ, im lvl 56-57, and now MSQ gives like 5k EXP at best, where should i level up next? fates? thanks

[proud willow]

you'll start getting major XP again when you reach Heavensward

[kind bronze]

you gotta get through that

[gritty oracle]

!faq communityfinder

[zinc orbit]

[kind bronze]

Is supposed to be the lvl 50 patch quests

[gritty oracle]

There you go

[valid heron]

thanks!

i'll check it out

[late olive]

go through part 2 MSQ?

[proud willow]

the XP from 2.X is deliberately low because they don't want you to already be 60 by the time you start HW

[kind bronze]

Once you do all 2.X quests you start getting more exp in 3.0 quests again

[late olive]

holy shit its still far tho

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, it sucks royal. It's an issue that's been around for awhile and while some people have gotten around it in various ways, what worked for them might not work for you

[late olive]

anywhere else i can grind this last 3 level

i wanna go gunbreaker lol

how about Dungeons?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah Im restarting my PC and see if that works. I just updated my Drivers like an hour ago too, so idk if that has to do with it for whatever reason

I've seen people have it work when they rolled them back. I've been trying to compile a document that catalogs potential fixes for a lot of these issues.

[proud willow]

if you're 57 and looking to grind out 3 levels fast for GNB, best bet (after your roulettes) is Palace of the Dead

[leaden ginkgo]

Welp. Restarting didnt work.

[jaunty pagoda]

Can we use crysta to pre-order endwalker?

[late olive]

ohh imma do this SQ, thanks fam

[random girder]

no, do 57 dungeon

and then 59

if you dont have it then.. yeah do potd i guess

[proud willow]

he's in 2.X

[random girder]

oh

rip

yeah do potd

[late olive]

2.X is the bane of the fast leveling? lol

[random girder]

nah

its just the bridge between expansions

[proud willow]

all of the expansions have a post-expansion stretch of MSQ that doesn't give XP

[random girder]

so it stops your leveling, but like

levels mean nothing without story

so its fine if you get overleveled, just a bit annoying to not be able to use skills

[late olive]

tbh i just want to change Role to tank

i have Glad at lvl 20 but i dunno i wanna try something else

[fresh viper]

is there a triple triad starter guide on what early game cards to buy and good progression paths? like list of opponents ranked by difficulty etc

[gritty oracle]

Raelys has ranked all trainers by difficulty. The lowest effort early game deck you can get is some random 3 stars, cloud of darkness and xande since they drop from very common alliance raids and have a high droprate.

Also regional rules can alter the difficulty of the fight. A lot of 5 star trainers become a complete joke with Reverse

[late olive]

Holy shit 21m average waiting time for POTD

[proud willow]

cuz each set of floors has its own queue

as soon as you get to 51-60, you can run that repeatedly with a very short queue

[leaden ginkgo]

I wonder if updating my windows will fix the error im getting, i havent done a windows update at all thos year heh

[open rivet]

enjoy your weather bar when you update :^)

[late olive]

oh

[fresh viper]

thanks

[late olive]

it says we start from level 1 again in the PoTD

so exp is calculated differently, yeah?

[crisp field]

are the trials duty roulette worth doing everyday? 47k exp at lvl 64 seems like not even worth the time

[open rivet]

inside potd levels are different, you'll receive like 100k xp after a floorset tho

[late olive]

ohh nice

[gritty oracle]

It's very low effort and a decent chunk of XP

[proud willow]

Trial roulette isn't a great source of XP. Main Scenario, Alliance Raid, and Leveling are the best

[little swift]

Frontline as well

[crisp field]

yeah I was wondering if I should also do trial everyday

I guess I might as well

[little swift]

People only include trial because it's usually quick

[open rivet]

Did Lv.50 crafters back in the day just use the ilv. 55 headgear? I can't find an ilv. 60-65 for lv. 50.

[naive kraken]

trial was 1.5mil at lev 71

for a usually quick thing that's decent

[crisp field]

thats a big jump

I am 65 and they give 47j only

[naive kraken]

but that's about just over 10% of a level

so 10 days gets you a level on trial roulette

[gritty oracle]

I've seen a detailed post on the mainsub that calculated xp per minute on roulette. Apparently trial is best because it's really short

[naive kraken]

if you do 5.X quests and fates while you wait in DPS queue its double worth for any roulette on a DPS

[open rivet]

if you ever find it ping me w/ a link.
I'd love to see the numbers

[crisp field]

I love the duty roulette they are amazing for leveling up my other job

[gritty oracle]

About half a minute later
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/ofng1r/a_quantitative_analysis_of_exp_gains_in_duty/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[crisp field]

at the rate I get distracted by new job and things

[neon holly]

paladin has been very easy to play.... how does it compare with dark knight? I was thinking about playing one

[crisp field]

I am never gona hit 80

[sour pumice]

where is this discounted mgp vendor ?

[proud willow]

I appreciate that he did some math, but wow did he fudge it

[gritty oracle]

DRK has more sustain with a self heal in its 1-2-3, but it has no dot and it uses mana to fuel darkside. It's also night and day in regard to aesthetic and job quests, DRK is dark and edgy.

[naive kraken]

its a seasonal one standing on the floor near the main purchasing hub

[proud willow]

Not counting wipes and not counting cutscene time

[neon holly]

is it relatively easy to play like paladin? does it have more buttons or nah @gritty oracle

[gritty oracle]

It's impossible to account for wipes because they can happen in any content, but are exceedingly rare.

[static pilot]

I'm stuck on the quest Dressed to Deceive as I can't find the Weathered Shepherd's shoes in my inventory.

[jade plover]

What are some of the best/reccomended items i can donate for the Doman Reconstruction per week?

[gritty oracle]

I think it has about the same number of buttons at matching levels (like pld 30 dark 30)

[proud willow]

pants, not shoes

[static pilot]

Oh...

Seems I can't read

My mistake!

[gritty oracle]

Materia if you have stella and planiclusters saved up, and Allagan pieces

[static pilot]

Sorry for taking up time and space!

[dry crow]

So when can I join Free Companies?

[proud willow]

They're named slops, the mistake is quite understandable

[gritty oracle]

Upon buying the game, you can join them at lv1

[dry crow]

I have the game but I can't join them xd

[static pilot]

Thanks anyway.

[jade plover]

ah i dont think i have any more allagan pieces, but materias are a good idea!
The best ones (+60 a stat) i assume?

[dry crow]

It says that the command is unavailable at this time

[static pilot]

Now that this has been cleared up, I'm going to go back to progressing through the MSQ

[leaden ginkgo]

Is this a hacker?

[gritty oracle]

Eh, doesn't matter as long as you weren't going to use it for your gear. Clear demimateria is also good if you do Bozja or eureka

[gritty oracle]

Likely

Or bot

[neon holly]

huh? the person is inside a wall and killing mobs or something lol

[jade plover]

icic, thanks. been needing to find a use for poetics anyhows!

[neon holly]

wow that sucks the job boosts are on sale and I literally did a boost like 3 days ago...

[jade plover]

that happens kek

[dry crow]

Nvm. I thought we could search for a FC in game using that command. Like how we cna find guilds in WoW

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there like a reinstall button? Or do u have to physically delete the game and than go back to the website and download it again

[cerulean plume]

what should I do with old leveling gear? sell it at a shop?

[neon holly]

does machinist still suck lol? I was looking in the search on here and there's people saying since 2019 that machinist suck and according to fflogs they're far down at the bottom even below dancer. Do they offer anything special to make up for bad dps?

[sour pumice]

i usually turn them in for gc seals

[thorn thicket]

So i know the Wisteria trees has petals under it but are there any petal housing items that match it?

[cerulean plume]

what are gc seals?

nvm. forgot it meant grand company. where can I turn in the gear then for seals?

[proud willow]

nobody considers even the bottom DPS to "suck". the class balance is pretty tight

[thorn thicket]

Yea, this isn't WoW, everything is used in savage and ultimates

[late olive]

oh

trial roulette is better for EXP?

[thorn thicket]

the difference between top dps and bottom dps is what, 3%

[late olive]

PoTD took around 5-10 mins per floor

[jade plover]

I've made my retainers not too long ago. Been sending them out for explorations, but wondering what are some ways to best deploy them for good profits

[proud willow]

but to further answer your question, MCH gets the benefit of being ranged DPS without having RNG in their rotation like BRD and DNC

[thorn thicket]

yea, they removed all the RNG from MCH in 5.0 and moved it to DNC

[neon holly]

wow according to the stats..... dancer is the 2nd most used dps unit. They must be fun to play

[thorn thicket]

they aren't brought for DPS

they're brought for the AoE buffs

[random girder]

they are fun though

all jobs are fun, imo

[leaden ginkgo]

Approximately 13 hours to re download FFXIV🤣 okay.

[marsh cosmos]

Where do you go for the scholar class?

Finished all of the arcanist quests

[proud willow]

IIRC both the Scholar and Summoner quests are right there in the Arcanist Guild

from two different NPCs

[thorn thicket]

5% damage increase to everyone in the party for 20 seconds every 2 minutes, 5% damage increase for 60 seconds to 1 party member every 30 seconds, 20% increased crit and direct hit for 20 seconds every 2 minutes. DNC is the party buffer

[proud willow]

if you already became a SMN, you will have to take the soul crystal off in order to get the SCH quest

[fresh viper]

is the campaign attendant the only npc with gold saucer discounted items?

[thorn thicket]

yes

[fresh viper]

thanks

[thorn thicket]

and i think the only one with the 3 new items

[jaunty pagoda]

Can we use crysta to pre-order endwalker?

[leaden ginkgo]

Whats the best way to do the 3 30/30 quests for the ShB relic?

Zadnor CE and FATE spam?

[warm snow]

Do Skirmishes in Zadnor for the first item and any CEs along the way, then spam raids for the rest

[leaden ginkgo]

I assume it has to be synced yeah?

[jade plover]

i don't think so. are you on steam or se store version?

[warm snow]

Yes

[spare plinth]

How’s the pvp thing in ffxiv

[warm snow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[alpine shadow]

secondary focus

[spare plinth]

I was thinking of getting late allagan sets for a mecha inspired glamour (like mch or the upcoming job sge)

[warm snow]

It's there, it exists, it's not popular

[leaden ginkgo]

A fun little side game at times

[warm snow]

You get quick matches in feast atm so grinding wolfs marks is ez atm

[spare plinth]

It’s not something people grind in, but it’s just for fun for some cool glamour?

And feast is now?

[warm snow]

There's ranked seasons with prizes but it's still not very popular

[proud willow]

Some people grind it, either because of achievements or because they're going for the seasonal rank

[spare plinth]

I rather get glamour

[warm snow]

Top 100 players in your data center get a juggernaut mount from ff13

Oh and no pvp for free trial @spare plinth

Hackers got really bad and ruined it for everyone

[spare plinth]

Is it just late allagan that provides a mecha like glamour?

I can ask the glamour channel

[cosmic pilot]

Does the last dungeon of SHB yield the most tomestones?

[tame notch]

Did anyone feel like some of the lvl 80 raid and trials are abit too gimmicky/hard? I died alot on eden titan not knowing the mech and got my 1st complain

[warm snow]

No

And not that kind of channel

[warm snow]

Most of the Eden bosses are just remixes of their originals anyways

[cosmic pilot]

I need 5 more ilvl for Nier’s dungeon 🙃

[warm snow]

@cosmic pilot matoya and paglthan give the same tomes

[cosmic pilot]

I see. Thanks for the info

I guess I need to spam em

[warm snow]

Don't forget your roulettes

Doing the other roulettes with level 80 jobs will pay out lv80 tomes

[honest anvil]

or ... go buy and upgrade an exarchic piece to make a crafter somewhere happy

[warm snow]

You'll need an average item level of 500 to start endwalker anyways

[cosmic pilot]

Did that too. Once per day, right? I’m just gonna spam the last dungeon. Aiming for that minion

[warm snow]

It is a cute minion, I just got my stubby from the last nier raid last night

[astral field]

Quick question, currently in Eureka pyros, levelling away. Do i need to upgrade my eureka relic weapon at this point to progress to hydatos and unlock the artisan vendor?

[cosmic pilot]

Yeah, I’m planning to farm Puppet Bunker too for 1 whole set of that outfit

[leaden ginkgo]

does the company you choose matter?

[dire prawn]

nope

[leaden ginkgo]

okay

[silver mesa]

can anyone help me on Leves of Aleport quest?

i cant initiate it

ive watched the youtube vids on it but its not working

[proud willow]

not the actual Leves of Aleport quest itself, but the other quest that you got with it should have an Initiate button

[silver mesa]

ah i see whoops

thanks

was wondering why i couldnt intiate it

[leaden ginkgo]

Just out of curiosity, is e10 the easiest out of e10-12 with echo? Clearing 1 savage content takes a lot of time, so it would be great if I could skip some

[tacit glacier]

is the fantasia potion destroyed on use? or can i use it, try some changes and then say no and keep my potion?

[naive ridge]

you can edit your character as much as you want in the creator but once you confirm the change its gone

[simple atlas]

Destroyed on use. But you don't have to use the race change right away

It's saved into character select screen so you can just change when ready

[naive ridge]

you can create another character on a different server if you want to see it in game, delete and try again

as many times as you want

once you are satisfied, save the data and you can fantasia that saved data

[tacit glacier]

ah i see thank you

[silver mesa]

also as a low level currently level 25

to get gear that is my level should i just craft them?

my msq seems to be only around level 16

[proud willow]

craft or just buy from vendors

alternatively, don't worry about it. MSQ and class quests will give you enough upgrades to keep you geared for the MSQ you're on, which is kinda all that matters

you won't be fighting level 25 stuff right now so it doesn't matter if you're not geared as a 25

[silver mesa]

alrighty. jw if i should spend my time leveling up my crafts

i mean they arent too bad ive been enjoying carpentry

[naive ridge]

there is no need to level crafting just for gearing

[copper hound]

hey can somebody help me with a ishgard restoration thing? it says i dont have the mats but i am looking in my inventory at approved and non approved versions of the item but it doesnt let me select it

how does that work?

[naive ridge]

are you using the correct grade?

the colors look different

[copper hound]

yes the item in the recipe is just called "skybuilders hemp" but i can only collect grade 4 skybuilders hemp in the diadem

[hot eagle]

you are on the wrong recipe, need the grade 4 recipe

[copper hound]

ah! thanks

[tame kayak]

what is the reason most people doing PoD completely ignore every single chest and never use a single item?

are they just bad or is it really just faster to ignore them?

[naive ridge]

They are just there for the exp.

[tame kayak]

each party ive met just doesn't say a word and bumrushes to the exit

[naive ridge]

unless if you are in a premadegroup

[tame kayak]

but like

you have things like rage

which makes it actually go faster

[naive ridge]

all the pomanders you gather will disappear in the next tier

[tame kayak]

or sight

ok but even for that tier

they're still useful

like i cannot actually believe its slower to not use them

[naive ridge]

yeah but its random

[tame kayak]

so?

[proud willow]

If you have the items, it's a waste not to use them

[tame kayak]

that doesnt make them less useful

^^

[naive ridge]

its more of an open it on the way kind of thing

[proud willow]

but to go into an extra room and potentially fight an extra couple of enemies isn't worth it for the chance that you'll get a good pomander

[tame kayak]

thats not what im saying

[naive ridge]

but i dont think people just skip if its right there

[tame kayak]

im saying we will have the shit in our inventory

and people just bumrush to whatever room

as if their inventory button doesn't work

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey, I've been that person before. It was because I had been farming it for a long time and just wanted to get my levels and get out. It's mostly just a "get me the hell outta here" thing

[tame kayak]

ok but its slower

you agree right?

[naive ridge]

you underestimate how many people dont know how any of that stuff works

[tame kayak]

if you have the items

not using them and rushing forward is literally slower

which is why im asking the question

[naive ridge]

well its kind of non very popular content right now

[proud willow]

I've rarely if ever seen someone not use Rage if it's there, as you get closer to floor 60

[naive ridge]

the experienced people are doing stuff like trying to 1-200 solo

[tame kayak]

ive never seen it

same with lust at bosses

[leaden ginkgo]

Really didn't think about it tbh. This back back in SB mind you, and I was just sick of it and was close to 60

[naive ridge]

so you get a lot of newer players that dont understand how any of the pomanders work and are just bumrushing stuff because hey it works

[leaden ginkgo]

So my thought process was just, get in, get out, move on

[proud willow]

also... since only one person needs to use most of these

the only way you'd notice "these aren't getting used" is if YOU were also not using them

[leaden ginkgo]

I never forced anyone to follow me. I just darted around from one room to another looking for the exit

[tame kayak]

im using them because its driving me up the wall

if you're gonna play a multiplayer mode

like single player

why not just do another exp source

i dont understand the mentality

[proud willow]

if you're using them, then there is no problem

[naive ridge]

they are playing multiplayer, they're just bad at it

[tame kayak]

alright

[naive ridge]

it doesnt help that potd is soloable content

[tame kayak]

thats the point

you can do it solo

but lets say you have rage and there's a room with aetherflow chest

[naive ridge]

so in a group of 4 you dont feel the need to Have to use the pomanders because 4 people rush through it all anyways

[tame kayak]

they will straight up ignore it unless someone says "hey can we go grab that chest real quick"

idk

i just feel like

[leaden ginkgo]

Because POTD is just a means to an end really. I met some great people along the way and chatted them up. I'm just trying to explain some of the mindset here as I saw it

[tame kayak]

is the exp really that good anymore

compared to other methods

to completely ruin the content

[naive ridge]

because the norm is just to get through it as quickly as possible

[tame kayak]

if it is then its w/e

[naive ridge]

same for dungeons

[tame kayak]

ok but dungeons incentivise teamwork

to speedrun

if you try to wall to wall in PoD

[eternal storm]

Hi is a1s soloable as a level 80

[tame kayak]

you will die

[proud willow]

I'm... somewhat confused why someone would type "can we go grab that chest"

you can just go grab the chest

[naive ridge]

but you dont go looking into every room looking for extra goodies

[proud willow]

in the amount of time it takes to type it

[tame kayak]

and if there's mobs?

[proud willow]

then it's not worth getting

or

[naive ridge]

ask

[proud willow]

aggro the mobs and run back to the group

[eternal storm]

If it’s a silver one it is

[tame kayak]

alright i get the point

[eternal storm]

Especially if leveling a weapon for glamour

[naive ridge]

most of the rewards are worthless at this point

it its for the levelling weapon you can run more potd from the time you saved

[leaden ginkgo]

Even iron satchels don't drop anything really worth getting. They don't sell well

[proud willow]

to be clear, I have everything at 80 so the only reason I run PotD is because I'm a completionist getting all the weapons

[tame kayak]

is PoD still the best exp farm?

[proud willow]

so I sometimes do get silver chests that are slightly out of the way

[tame kayak]

or HoH

[eternal storm]

Would a1s be soloable by lvl 80

[tame kayak]

in this instance

[proud willow]

I walk a line between getting what I want and getting what the group wants (speed)

[naive ridge]

I dont think PoTD is the best exp

im not sure

but it's quick

to queue

or it used to be, not sure about now

[leaden ginkgo]

It's also possible people are trying to get memories for their relic, for whatever reason. So they just want to hurry things along

[naive ridge]

PotD is terrible for relic

[leaden ginkgo]

I know that, but some people are dense

[toxic sorrel]

how does player search work? for the life of me i cant get this shit to work, and i know i didnt mispell anything

(btw im trying to find someone else with the same name, not myself)

[naive ridge]

search their first name or last name and execute

the rest are filters

[toxic sorrel]

im doing that and i get nothing

[proud willow]

It might not find them if they are in a solo instance, not sure though

they also have to be on the same server, obvs

[naive ridge]

then theres noone with that name, there are in an instance or other world

[toxic sorrel]

i tried it with the last name tia as a test because tias are everywhere and i get nothing

[short flame]

Would you guys say its worth it to buy the 60% off FF complete edition right now or wait until endwalker comes out? I would assume they'd do a sale for the base game to get people to buy the new expansion.

For context, I haven't made it past 30 yet in the free trial but I'm pretty convinced im going to keep playing past it.

[naive ridge]

theres a first name and last name option did you pick the correct one?

[toxic sorrel]

yep

[naive ridge]

If you want to play Stormblood and Shadowbringers pre Endwalker that would be the best way

[proud willow]

if you're moving right along, you will very likely hit the beginning of Stormblood before the end of November

[naive ridge]

otherwise spend time in the free trial until endwalker drops and buy the entire thing at once

hey guys, so i just bought the "Emote: Senor Sabotender" and checked my mail and couldnt find it XD

[warm snow]

Shits not instant

[short flame]

hmm ill keep it in mind, thanks guys!

[warm snow]

And servers are on fire

Site says allow up to 2 days

Should be less but servers are under extreme stress atm

[sacred oracle]

this supposed to be invisible?

[toxic sorrel]

it takes a while for mog station stuff to come through, be patient and it'll show up eventually

[naive ridge]

yes

[dusky plank]

oh okay thanks guys

[sacred oracle]

thank you

[naive ridge]

its for if you want to equip gear and be naked

[fast talon]

the emperor's new X items are basically glamour items to make it look like youre not wearing anything on that slot

[sacred oracle]

nice

[fast talon]

theres one for every piece of armor and also one for monk weapons and paladin shields

[silver mesa]

silly question

how do you use your limit break?

XD

[sacred oracle]

do you know where to get them?

[jade quartz]

Open actions and traits (P on keyboard) > general > Limit Break

[sacred oracle]

or just buy in market

[jade quartz]

drag it onto your hotbar somewhere

[sacred oracle]

i mean they are so expensive

:C

[fast talon]

theyr sold in vesper bay iirc

[naive ridge]

theres in vendor in mor dhona that sells them

[fast talon]

oh yeah theres one there too

[jade quartz]

Said vendors require you to have a level 15 crafter and have completed a short sidequest

they shouldn't be expensive on the marketboard though

[fast talon]

admittedly these items would be pointless without doing said sidequest

since thats the sidequest that unlocks glamouring

[jade quartz]

try traveling to other world servers and checking their markets

[sacred oracle]

well for me it is

[jade quartz]

no, different sidequest

[naive ridge]

MB prices are marked up because people are lazy

[fast talon]

okay thats a guy trying to launder gil

[silver mesa]

surprised its not on hotkey slot by default

oh okay

ohhhhh

[fast talon]

you can even see on your screenshot, the npc selling price is...59 gil?

odd number

[naive ridge]

should have gone for the 69

Koji is letting me down

[sacred oracle]

nice command there thank you guys

[fast talon]

never realized how cheap these things were lol i just bought them when i could

[jade quartz]

note it's not 100% guaranteed to be up-to-date

as it's only updated whenever someone with the plugin installed views that market listing ingame.

But it gives a good general indication.

[sacred oracle]

oh can i have the plugin name?

also damn 😤 the emperor boot isnt showing feet smh

[naive ridge]

yeah I hate those sandals

also like some of the footwear that show feet have weird feet shapes

but without them you character would be floating an inch off the floor while naked

[sacred oracle]

that makes sense

[spring lintel]

Are there different relic weapons? One for arr, one for heavensward and so on? If I unlock the arr one does it scale to lvl 80? Should I get lvl 80 and then grind for a relic weapon?

[warm snow]

There's mods for that

Including bunny peets for viera

[sacred oracle]

😮

isnt mod kinda against ToS

what a shame

[warm snow]

I mean yeah, but that type of visual mod is client side, they won't see it

[fast talon]

yes theres a different relic weapon per expansion

they do not scale

[sacred oracle]

is it ok to share with me ?

[fast talon]

so any relic weapon outside of ShB is pretty much only for glamour

[fiery pagoda]

i accidentally unbinded a default keybind. the one that lets you click on an object without clicking players

[fast talon]

or in the case of ARR, bragging rights i guess

because the ARR relic grind is rough

[alpine shadow]

You are probably looking for the keybind option "Target Filter"

[spring lintel]

Which one is the fastest in terms of grind atm?

[fiery pagoda]

which tab is it at

[alpine shadow]

"Other"

[fast talon]

Anima/Heavensward as its pretty much just a tomestone grind

and this is subjective but i do find anima to be the best looking ones

but thats just my opinion

[fiery pagoda]

@alpine shadow i dont see that tab in keybind menu

[alpine shadow]

weird

[warm snow]

Depends on the weapon, we haven't had a good war relic since arr

[alpine shadow]

can you take a screenshot of the menu?

[fast talon]

as a war main i can agree on that

i wouldnt say the anima one is bad but it feels...uninspired for me

[warm snow]

Itty bitty baby axe wit some fire. The previous stage with blue flames looks better.

[fast talon]

im working on the ShB one now and yeah even the end product doesnt look amazing. the models are nice but the particle effects are weak.

[fiery pagoda]

@alpine shadow

[alpine shadow]

ah yeah, there isn't an Other tab there

maybe System?

[dim marsh]

is it a dumb idea to play on a jp dc for the preferred buff and then transfer to na after ?

[naive ridge]

the preferred buff isnt necessary

[fiery pagoda]

@alpine shadow im looking but if you know where it is at, could you be more specific

i thought it'd be somewhere in the keybind section since thats where it was unbinded

i dont see much in "other settings" tab in systems config either

[alpine shadow]

well, the only part i know that it is somewhere there, and the keybind you are looking for is "Target Filter"

[dim marsh]

i get that it's not necessary but i wanna level up all my classes and whatever to 60 asap so i don't have to grind as hard later. or is that not really worth it ?

[fiery pagoda]

ok

[proper cipher]

MSQ will level 1 class up fine and then you get the armoury bonus so all the others will level faster

[naive ridge]

you will have to pay for a server transfer later on if you want to try that

[fiery pagoda]

he's basically asking if the transfer is worth it

just for the exp buff

[dim marsh]

yeah essentially

[torn viper]

Hi all, ui finally hit 50 and want to change to samurai, have obtained the soul of the samurai but i cant equip it

[dim marsh]

i haven't played so i'm not exactly sure how many "hours" it would save me

[torn viper]

Keeps telling me i need to change class first

[dim marsh]

but if it's substantial i wouldn't mind paying the transfer cost

[torn viper]

Any idea how do i do that?

[proper cipher]

Need to equip samurai weapon

[obsidian patio]

Equip the weapon first

[lofty locust]

Switch weapon

[proper cipher]

Then the stone

[torn viper]

Ah ok

Got it thanks!!

[naive ridge]

I don't think it is

[fickle meadow]

where do i pickup the quests to work towards atma weapons?

for drk

[obsidian patio]

They don’t have a zodiac weapon

Expansion jobs don’t get relics for level caps they weren’t around for.

[fickle meadow]

oh what do they have then

[obsidian patio]

So DRK has all the expansion relics

[fiery pagoda]

@dim marsh the world transfer is $18.00 and the exp buff is 2.0x. i would say it is worth it if your goal is to level everything up to 60 asap but i can't speak for how much you value 18 dollars

i think you would save lots of hours tho

[torn viper]

Uhm does anyone know which lvl 50 rare sam sword is best to begin with? I see theres like 5 of them..

[obsidian patio]

Ironworks

[fiery pagoda]

@torn viper ironworks. check the item level and ironworks' should be the highest

[dim marsh]

i have to wait 90 days regardless to transfer right? but i can stay on free trial for as long as i want?

[dim marsh]

fair enough, thanks for the opinion

[torn viper]

@fiery pagoda sorry what do u mean? I see mighty thunderstroke, inferno katana, blood of the vortex, tremor katana and maliferous moggle mogtana only

[fiery pagoda]

i mean you are potentially saving AT LEAST tens of hours and to me, that sounds like it's worth the 18 dollars

[obsidian patio]

Ironworks from tomestones of poetics

[fiery pagoda]

it is double the exp

[obsidian patio]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[fiery pagoda]

so time almost is reduced by half

there are probably few exp gains where the buff doesnt work but thats only my baseless assumption

@dim marsh free trial status does not expire

[obsidian patio]

Free trial stops once you buy the game

[torn viper]

@obsidian patio thanks!! Will give it a read. Not sure what this is LOL

[dim marsh]

how often do preferred servers pop up in NA? i know u can't predict the future but do u think it's possible one will come up within the next month?

[obsidian patio]

Poetics are currency you get from level 50/60/70 content

[obsidian patio]

Probably 0% chance at this point until 6.0

World statuses only change with patch updates, and 5.58 (current patch) is the last planned one before Endwalker

[dim marsh]

i see, so 6.0 is endwalker? as in end of november ?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[fiery pagoda]

yeah one thing that's a little dangerous to do it in NA server is that it can increase in population pretty quick, seeing the trend

this happened in other country data servers as well but not as prevalent tho

[dim marsh]

sounds like i'm gonna lean towards the transfer plan then. just unsure about a few things if you guys don't mind answering:

• is it painful to play the game on a jp datacenter? as in ping lag/ delays playing from NA?
• will I have issues playing with JP players? it doesn't seem like the preferred worlds in JP are the english communities
• i have to wait 90 days as a new player in the jp datacenter before i can transfer out to NA right?

[small tiger]

is there any spot to get lvl 80 white gear in shadowbringers maps? similarly to lvl 70 gear at the foundation

[dim marsh]

yeah I checked and it was around 180

[obsidian patio]

And yeah you’ll likely have issues if all the JP preferred aren’t in Elemental

[junior hazel]

hey, I have a question...
in wonderous tails, if you have a task for a specific raid, and you've already done it. can you queue for raid roulette and second chance retry it if you get the right one ?
ex: have labyrinth task, already completed. if I go into raid roulette and get labyrinth can I retry the task while in the raid and have it complete at the end ?

[obsidian patio]

The Crystarium gear vendors update over time with gear as you do the story

But the natural gear vendor for 78 stuff is in Kholusia at Tomra

[dim marsh]

gungnir and carbuncle are preferred in elemental, maybe i'll go there then

[obsidian patio]

Yes you can do that

[junior hazel]

cool thx

[small tiger]

so unlike at the foundation where their available right from the start?

also which msq unlocks it

[fiery pagoda]

@dim marsh if everything does work out, i'd think it's worth the 18dollars but personally for me, it's a bit too much effort or thinking and i happen to be lazy lol

[small tiger]

cant be assed to gear

[obsidian patio]

From what I heard other people say, yeah story partially gates the stuff they sell

[wanton niche]

excuse me but where can i get better alchemist equipment from?

[obsidian patio]

Probably whenever you’d have access to the upper half of Kholusia

[obsidian patio]

Level?

[wanton niche]

29 rn

[obsidian patio]

The main city markets have gear from 1-49

[dim marsh]

i guess i'll think about it some more. i would love to save time grinding to 70 but i don't want it to affect my experience too much lol
