So a friend of mind did his MSQ roulette, then went into alliance raids and it put him into one of the MSQ's. Is that possible?

faint flare
#

Each beast tribe have their own

mossy moss
#

are all beast tribes also as divided as the amalj'aa are?

outer mural
#

yes

mossy moss
#

that's interesting

outer mural
#

usually there's a faction that sides with the non-beastmen

#

hence the beast tribes

Does anyone from BALMUNG know of a primary Balmung Discord Server, and if so, may I have a link to it please? ❤️

blazing pike
#

for the first time i havent been able to continoue in the msq, it says dungeon requirments the bowl of embers hard teh navel hard the howling eye hard, does that mean i just need to go into the duty finder and bust those out before i can continoue?

outer mural
#

yes if you haven't done the hard versions yet

#

they are needed for msq

faint flare
#

The hard mode primals yes

blazing pike

For them

I know Mateus has a dedicated discord server for it...

blazing pike

faint flare

||Also is Yagiri the first Au Ra that people have seen?||

faint flare

It'd needed for story

So Au Ra came out in Heavensward then

That's cool

#

Hi, I started the quest for HW relic weapons as lancer, and I'm currently on the Soul Without Life quest, the reward shows up for dragoon weapon, is there any way I can change it? I'd like to get the ninja one now

acoustic thorn
#

thanks

mossy moss
#

Wait, so can I pay entry sub if i only play on my character always

#

or is it standard after a certain amount?

faint flare
#

Entry is completely fine

vernal ocean
faint flare
#

You should be able to abandon

vernal ocean
#

I'll check, thanks

dapper cloak
#

I have a question

mossy moss
#

So I can pay for the entry fee as long as I don't have 2 characters on the same server then

faint flare
#

Yes

mossy moss
#

perfect

mossy moss
#

don't hold back 😄

feral nebula
#

Is there a place whre i can find coordinates for Elite Clan Huts?

feral nebula
#

Ty ty, thought there would be smth with coordinates too

#

Will go looking for them :3

mossy moss
#

unless they don't live in huts, idk where to point you then

dapper cloak
#

You know how you can buy the starter pack and it comes along with 30 days play time? Im on the trial so lets say I buy it does that mean along my journey to lvl 60 it will use those 30 days in the background?

mossy moss
#

so i suggest you get to 60 and then buy it

dapper cloak
#

ok

#

dam :/

#

😭

#

Thanks!

mossy moss
#

i mean getting to 60 if you're not getting sidetracked and going through the story at your own pace takes about 5-6 days

#

considering you also go outside

feral nebula
mossy moss
#

I think you tagged the wrong person

feral nebula
#

Oops, i did

mossy moss
#

but yes

sturdy mason
#

is there no quicker way to scroll through lists in duty finder using controller?

feral nebula
#

Sorry

sturdy mason
#

trying to get to the withdraw button is terrible

mossy moss
#

there's also elite hunt zergs

#

that hunt them around the area

scarlet widget
#

Is there anyway of knowing which NPCs you have defeated? Or is it just the case of going to every one and ticking them off...? Or should I also win a fight against them to make sure? For triple triad

dapper cloak
mossy moss
#

so you can join them and they'll let you tag the mob before killing them @feral nebula

dapper cloak
faint flare
mossy moss
scarlet widget
#

But say in theory I obtained some of the cards through those random packs, or is that not possible?

#

I did a few of those very early on and have no idea if any, how many that might have affected?

mossy moss
#

If they are not the cards of the enemies you have already defeated, the icon will not go away

scarlet widget
#

I get that, but if I get the cards in other ways and the NPC has nothing left to offer, even if I don't battle them does that mean they count as defeated?

mossy moss
#

also the cards they give are marked by a black pouch with a question mark in it, if you have gotten the card they give, there will be a card instead

spring lintel
#

Is there any way I can check how much items in my inventory are worth on the market? Like right-click on them or something, instead of typing their name in the search bar

faint flare
#

If you haven't fought them then it's still there

mossy moss
scarlet widget
#

Ah ok great thanks for the confirmation!

faint flare
outer mural
#

also some plug-ins on PC

#

though said plug-ins are not 100% accurate to current listings

spring lintel
mossy moss

#

No, there's a paper icon in the corner

To show you the current listing

Anyone know/have a link to the output of MGP for Lord of Verminion? (and if it changes based on first time completion vs. subsequent ones)

spring lintel
faint flare
#

It's just the top right when adjusting the price

spring lintel
#

okay I'll check it later, thanks

#

Can i turn off FATE music?

mossy moss
#

System configuration > Sound Settings

spring lintel
mossy moss
#

If you meant fate completion music

#

i think it is system sounds

clear garden
#

genuine question, did they buff castrum or something

faint flare
#

The buffed the tunnel armour and changed the buttons to not needing to be stood in

#

Basically buffs for low man castrum

#

It's duoable now

mossy moss

#

Is the chocobo quest available when I hit level 20 with a job or when the msq hits level 20?

faint flare
#

Story

#

Everything is story

#

Your level means nothing

gray palm
#

Noted

#

Wish I had known that six hours ago

mossy moss
#

If my level means nothing, can i then switch to archer and do MSQ in heavensward with no worries? A genuine question.

faint flare
#

There's a minimum level for quests

#

Which is the story level

mossy moss
#

Okay so it doesn't matter as long as i am the minimum level required

#

i never had level issues, i had gear issues instead xD

gray palm
#

I’ve been having fun issues. I’ve been waiting to change my job until after the chocobo, but it’s still 5 msq levels away so I’ll just change it now

mossy moss
#

your fun in the game is your highest priority

#

no matter what

gray palm
#

Yeah. Sunk cost fallacy even though it’s only been one day lmao

#

So I’m switching from THM to ACN. Is the summoner play style a little more mobile?

mossy moss
#

Black mage is the least movement based class in the game

spring lintel
#

Black mage is super fun but i can understand why people dont like it

leaden ginkgo
#

hey can you unequip glamours without sppending glamour dispellers ?

mossy moss
dusty jungle
#

SMN is super mobile. It takes a little while to feel it though cause Ruin 1 and Miasma has actual casting

spring lintel
gray palm
mossy moss
slate arrow
mossy moss
#

But it is still the least movement based class

#

It's not for everyone

gray palm
#

I’ll definitely play it eventually, but I need something more mobile for my first time through the story

mossy moss
#

Comparing Black mage and summoner feels like comparing arcane and fire mage from wow

#

they're the same class ( caster ) but one moves a lot and deals damage and the other stays still and deals damage

#

It's about what you prefer pretty much, but i do have to say you can move a lot once you get further in into the passive procs

#

you're able to move forever and even have teleport abillities to get you out of stuff

#

so you're less based on moving on your own as well

gray palm
#

Yeah in WoW I just played casters with heavy focus on instant cast or the ability to cast while moving

mossy moss
gray palm
#

And ele shaman

mossy moss
#

black mage is kind of a mash between fire mage and arcane mage

gray palm
#

Summoner looks fun though

mossy moss
#

since arcane mage has to remain static at all times

gray palm
#

If I don’t like it I can always switch back

mossy moss
#

but still has as many if not even more insta cast procs as fire mage

ionic linden
#

if i use angel wings (fashion accessory) its still active while im in combat / dungeons?

Is it possible to deactivate the markers on the map for classes i currently dont do?

potent talon
#

@mossy moss who do you go against?

mossy moss
#

idk his full name

#

but i know he has king in his name while others in the gold saucer don't

potent talon
#

Hmm can you beat him with the beginner deck?

placid fern
#

So if I'm trying to join a Fishing Voyage and I'm told "They're no longer accepting Crew Members".
Does that mean that I'm too late to register, or that too many people have already registered?

mossy moss
# potent talon Hmm can you beat him with the beginner deck?

i suggest you gather all of the cards from other masters before attempting him, to get the feel of the game and how it's played, also look up on how the Plus rule in triple triad works so that you won't be confused where you lose the whole board against him

faint flare
#

Too late

#

You have 15mins to register

#

For ocean fishing

placid fern
#

Ah...

opal swan
#

What’s the number of memories of the dying do i need to complete the resistance weapon quest

amber yarrow
#

is there someone i can dm in regards to relic weapons? im close to augmenting my shadowbringers one but im too unsure about the refinement process

placid fern
#

So if I was trying to go on a venture at 4 pm and get there at 3:50, then I can't join.
But if I register at 3:40 then I'm all good?

do i just skip the allocate part?

vapid nymph
#

explains why so little people play this game on steam i guess

#

steam is like 80€ to get expansions

obsidian patio
#

It’s the same price as PC assuming no sales.

trail tide
#

steam is actually cheaper if you have regional pricing

#

and yeah it's the same price otherwise

slow drum
#

One Question. Can someone please tell me if the Hairstyle Rainmaker is still obtainable in the Golden Saucer?

keen osprey
#

is it possible to use GC aetheryte tickets for GCs you're not part of?

thats how it shows up for me

flint sentinel

Do I have to be on the same class for my resistance relic for the timeworn artifacts in potd or can I use a different class to get the timeworn artifacts?

warm basalt
#

im pretty new and I cant to level up another class I tried doing dungeons but they just give like 10%

trail tide
#

ah yeah if you wanna buy shadowbringers and endwalker at once

#

and dont wait for any sale

#

it should be the same price on the SE price outside of the sale though

obsidian patio
trail tide
#

you can be on any class for bozja relic farming

# vapid nymph

steam doesnt go on sale as much as square enix or third party sites that sell the square enix version

it's why people use blue mage for many parts of it

how far are you roelu?

#

i mean questing class quests etc i guess

leaden ginkgo
trail tide
#

if you are new you should just play the free trial rather than buying immediately

keen osprey
trail tide
#

and by the time you hit 60 there should probably be a steam sale

leaden ginkgo
#

no dont buy the steam version

#

buy the square enix version thats on sale rn, and save the code

and milk the shit out of the free trial

can someone explain how this chemistry even works

It gives you.mgp

obsidian patio
tame kayak
#

oh

#

i see

trail tide
#

if you aren't already on steam and dont have use for regional pricing or steam wallet option, then yeah you can just buy the codes on sale now on SE and enter them later then

tame kayak
#

i though it was based on a percentage

trail tide
#

once you are "done" with your free trial

obsidian patio
#

If they’re an active member in the mission and another active member is a marauder, you can get MGP

keen osprey
#

can anyone with aetheryte tickets from more than one GC test to see if you can use tickets from outside your current GC?

obsidian patio
#

Do note the chemistry won’t count themselves if they’re a marauder

digital kindle
#

So im currently on the free trial and im kind of thinking about purchasing a subscription but i prefer doing these things on steam so im wondering if there is a way i can transfer my progress from SE version to steam?

obsidian patio
#

Yes, just buy steam starter edition and register it to your account on the mogstation

#

PC trial to steam full game works

trail tide
#

yup it works, it's how i did it

digital kindle
#

oh alright cool, was worried i might had to redo progress

trail tide
#

i started free on SE then switched to steam paid version

vapid nymph
#

why can i only go 1280x720 on borderless windowed? am i stupid?

fluid wren
#

when should i use ruin 3 vs 2

dire prawn
#

2 is instant cast but lower damage

obsidian patio
#

When you don’t need to move or weave in an oGCD like energy drain or fester

You use it for mobility

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT
#
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)
    ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
gusty cipher
#

Have you actually done the main story quest to unlock your grand company?

#

Cause you may not have selected yours yet

obsidian patio
#

Moogle and Shiva are basically the only notable worlds due to being French and German focused

vapid nymph
warm sierra
#

is thanalan a great company or is that the city im in

obsidian patio
#

They’re both in the same location of Germany

hidden cypress
dire prawn
gusty cipher
#

So, if you picked Gladiator / Thaumaturge / Pugilist, you start in Ul'dah in Thanalan. That city's Grand Company is the Immortal Flames, but as you continue MSQ you will pick one of the 3 for yourself, which doesn't have to be the one in your starting city

#

You could instead choose Maelstrom or Twin Adders, if you end up thinking Limsa or Gridania is neater

warm basalt
#

where do I go to upgrade my exarchic gear

dire prawn
#

Wynne

dire prawn
#

There's a series of like five vendors on the left side that are outside the plaza

One of them is where you turn in the Exarchic gear, another buy the Crystalline Rain and the third where you pick up Augmented Exarchic

oh gotcha, I think I am lvl 15 then, on MSQ

Hey Guys know where I can find tips for lvl 60 paladin rotation?

obsidian patio
#

Goring blade combo > Royal Authority Combo x2

#

Use aoe combo at two targets

#

Using Goring Blade combo on two targets might be better depending on how long they live

dire prawn
#

Wait job skips are on sale HYPERUWU

slow drum
#

Coming on its Own is the step by the way, just checked.

obsidian patio
#

You can grind poetics for the unidentifiables

#

ARR tribes and HW tribes can also buy them with their beast tribe tokens

#

You can also grind the first tier of Alexander for the precision parts to exchange for them

#

3 runs per unidentifiable

vapid nymph
#

does the starter race/clan matter for dps lategame or something?

obsidian patio
#

Nope

vapid nymph

or just pick w/e i like

Absolutely not

are there more bosses in the game that are handled in a lame and braindead cheese-strategy way like twintania? i just heard about the pit strategy, and it's really pathetic

so are most people on Steam or SE version? which one is "better"

You can

obsidian patio

No

dire prawn

It comes with SB

#

Unless you don't have starter edition already

digital charm
#

Is it normal for the online store purchases to take a while? I already got the confirmation email but nothing is in my in-game mail?

obsidian patio
#

You buy starter edition to use shadowbringers

flat ridge
#

just spot twintanias location and dodge her charges, instead of moving boring into a pit, that seems really straight-forward and simple as well

warm snow
obsidian patio
flat ridge
#

it just requires a slight-tad bit of concentration and reflexes...

vapid nymph
#

btw can you re-customize character later for some currency or anything?

flat ridge
#

if i am not mistaken, it is fairly easy to dodge, isn't it? you have quite a bit of time to run away, no?

obsidian patio
#

Yes I know

#

But you need starter edition to use shadowbringers

if i choose a job , e.g. monk, can i switch it to samurai later on?

also- i don't see some of the other reasons as well. why do you "need to move below twintania" for her fire-cage. i assume so that AOE dps can deal more damage? but that's not really "need to" then

obsidian patio
#

You play as normal

#

You can still become another job

warm snow

#

You can be all jobs on one character

vapid nymph
#

so i can be like ninja at lvl 30 and switch later on? granted i heard ninja is one of the hardest classes in game

#

prob not a good idea for beginner

warm snow
#

You can play all jobs on one character

#

But you do have to level them separately

#

With one exception

#

But I'm not getting into that

outer mural
#

ninja also has a learning curve but it's not extremely mindboggling hard or anything

#

it teaches you how to get fast

leaden ginkgo
#

hows the learning curve for samurai?

#

how many jobs can one character have at the same time?

outer mural
dire prawn
#

Aka all of them

leaden ginkgo
#

but on free trial only 6 no?

dire prawn
warm snow
#

Everything is capped at level 60 tho

outer mural
# leaden ginkgo hows the learning curve for samurai?

speaking from an objective standpoint, samurai's learning curve is very strange
at 50, the starting class, it's simple: get 3 sticks to do damage, keep dot up
when you get kenki, you manage that by not overcapping and trying to align it with raid buffs, which is not that bad
at 76, when you get a skill called tsubame, samurai becomes the hardest class in the game to play well due to its rigidity and rotational complexity from trying to keep it not drifting

obsidian patio
#

Free trial has access to all base game and HW jobs, including the limited job blue mage

dire prawn
#

Not 76 SAM is fairly easy

#

76+ SAM has an extremely rigid rotation centered entirely around using Tsubame-gaeshi as it comes off cooldown for Kaeshi: Setsugekka

outer mural
#

aye

#

it's a sudden bombshell to drop onto you that late into your samurai career

leaden ginkgo
#

hmm ok, which dps has the easiest rotation? Minus the casters

outer mural
#

it's a rewarding job if you can learn how to adapt and change your rotation on the spot to keep skills from not drifting

dire prawn
#

Dancer

outer mural
#

mch / dnc
rdm
ninja

are my DPS of choice for ranged / caster / melee in terms of easiest

dire prawn
#

On what planet is NIN easy

outer mural
#

NIN has a relatively high skill floor but consistency wll let you master it

flat ridge
#

isn't dragoon the easiest?

outer mural
#

then optimization for it is not that bad

warm snow
#

The one where opinions are subjective

outer mural
#

i would argue that dragoon, while not difficult, is harder than nin due to its limited weave opportunities and rigidity

#

in addition to animation lock locking you in place

dire prawn
#

Also animation lock

outer mural
#

whereas ninja's burst windows are often forgiving and flexible

flat ridge
#

dragoon does the same rotation every time. and the question was about easy rotation, not easy class

outer mural
#

susge that is the same idea with ninja

#

just because a class does the same rotation every time does not equate to ease

warm snow
outer mural
#

same rotation every time =/= ease
most people would not find monk easy to learn or play well just because it does the same exact rotation on a 90s basis

leaden ginkgo
#

kk, i heard monk was the hardest to play, since im brand new idk if that would be the smart choice lol

outer mural
#

play it if you want to play it, just because it's hard doesn't mean it's a bad choice to pick up

dire prawn
#

That's subjective

outer mural
#

i find it helps accelerate how you get better in some cases, ie positionals cirno_shrug

leaden ginkgo
dire prawn
#

The only reason people say Monk is harder than the other melee dps is because it has the most positionals (six)

flat ridge
#

imo the rotation is just the rotation. the buttons to press, and when to press them.
the rest is all not rotation

outer mural
#

susge downtime and fight mechanics directly coincide with rotation

warm snow
dire prawn
#

And unlike SAM where positionals aren't really needed past 62 MNK loses a lot of damage if you're missing positionals

twilit arch
#

uhm

#

positionals are needed for SAM

outer mural
#

positionals are very much needed for sam

twilit arch
#

they are just as important for sam as they are for mnk

outer mural
#

samurai has the biggest loss per potency missed

twilit arch
#

you lose a lot of potency if you miss positionals

I have a question specifically for those who are into the Extreme/Savage/Unreal content of the game...
What advice can you give this nublet who wants to really become one of those reliable endgame players that people would want to have on their team?
I mean, like how do I train myself for these super-difficult tasks considering endgame players usually have their own selective groups where it's difficult for those new to the mechanics and such to become fully experienced in them?

.... I hope I'm making sense. @_@

outer mural
# leaden ginkgo I have a question specifically for those who are into the Extreme/Savage/Unreal ...

my steps

  1. practice your class well. read up on it, learn the rotation, get it done. hit a practice dummy until you're pretty good with the rotation
  2. bring that into regular fights. not extremes/savage, just regular fights. try to get good in those fights. you don't need to be perfect but do your rotation well and with uptime
    2b. if you want, you can also parse and then upload your fights to fflogs and then xivanalysis to point out your mistakes. not necessary, but very helpful
  3. after enough confidence, feel free to make learning parties on PF or join a discord dedicated to recruitment. you should then practice by doing harder fights after learning your rotation in normal fights
    3b. do extremes first since they are less hard than savage

Yes but you get alot of tools

To help you move

and a lot of mechanics involve moving around a lot

i gotta finsh HW then, itll still be a while oof

vapid nymph
#

well idk how bad mechs are for meele in this game tbh

gusty cipher
#

BLM has a couple of tools and some procs that allow instant case and movement, but overall it's a class that shines the most where you KNOW the fight, and when to save your movement abilities over all

#

Just learning the game, and the class, you'll have lower DPS than other classes cause you'll need ot move & learn stuff

faint flare
#

The game equally hates everyone with mechanics

vapid nymph
#

its usually like 80% of dps classes are ranged leaving very little space for meele dps players

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

If you're a physical range you're the mechanic boy we're sending out to do mechanics

#

So we can cater to the melee

vapid nymph
#

well makes sense physical range probably dont have many casts so they dont mind moving while doing dps

faint flare
#

There's always at least 2 ranged (physical range + caster) dps in the group

#

1 melee

#

Last is a flex dps of whatever people want

vapid nymph

so meele is minority still i guess?

You can only have 4 dps in a raid group

most of the time for relevant content

2-2-4 for 8-man raids / trials, 1-2-5 for alliance raids (24-person, 3 parties of 8)

sometimes people go 5 dps and one healer or tank for lower il content that isnt too demanding anymore

#

but its usually 4 2 2

velvet glacier

what's a better stat for monk, determination or direct hit rate?

What do all these quest icons mean?

msq - These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
bluequest - These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
sidequest - These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
repeatquest - These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

How much block rate is equal to 100%?

outer mural
#

block rate never goes up to 100%

faint flare
#

You can't get that high

#

Only sheltron allows 100%

obsidian patio
#

Block rate is purely decided by the shield and if you’re using actions that buff it

vagrant crescent
#

How much is equal to 1% than?

outer mural
#

the stats are very strange but generally they even out at higher levels

obsidian patio
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

outer mural
#

i genuinely could not tell you what the hell they do

#

shield stats are a mystery

obsidian patio
#

Probably whatever a level 1 shield at 80 gives

faint flare
#

Stats tiers change every level

vagrant crescent
#

Oh wow, lol XD

faint flare
#

And block maths is really not important

outer mural
#

but the only observation is that they give the same block resist and chance if it's at level

obsidian patio
#

If you use gear intended for your level your block rate and strength are around 20-30%

outer mural
#

which is 20% off of all damage total?

vagrant crescent
#

Should I focus on Block Strength more or Block rate more or does that depends on what type of class I'm using?

faint flare
#

Doesn't matter

#

Use whatever is the highest ilvl

#

That's why block maths isn't important

#

Highest item level is what you'll take

#

All the time

obsidian patio
#

All Shields give equal amounts of both after a point in heavensward item level

#

Past like i230

faint flare
#

And that part

vagrant crescent
#

Well ok, lol XD

lunar steppe
#

I have a question guys, if i want to buy the full game, do i need to buy shadowbringer aswell?

#

or is that just a dlc for extra things

jolly bane
#

do I have to create a new square enix account?

#

since I have the free trial on steam

obsidian patio
#

If you want to move from Steam to PC then yes

jolly bane
#

this game is amazing but the whole account thing is quite complicated

obsidian patio
dire prawn
#

Wynne

#

In your opinion

obsidian patio
#

If starter then yes you need to buy Shadowbringers

dire prawn
#

What would be the worst job to boost if I haven't touched it before

obsidian patio
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Probably ninja or monk ? Depends how familiar you are with melee DPS

jolly bane
#

and there isn't even an option to delete my old one

dire prawn
#

I have a 62 SAM so not very much LUL

obsidian patio
#

You need to make a new one entirely, with a new email address

kind fable
#

How do I get to sea of clouds from coerthas, I teleported out of there and dunno how to get back

dire prawn
#

Did you attune to the Camp Cloudtop aetheryte?

#

If not

spark monolith
#

if i roll on gear and then leave the dungeon before the everyone rolls and i win the roll do i still get the item

kind fable
#

I didnt

lyric rapids
#

how does the penalty system for abandoning a duty after it was readied work??

dire prawn
#

Go to the Skysteel Manufactory

vapid nymph
#

this will sound very stupid but just making sure there is nothing like "sprint" option or anything like that right

dire prawn
#

And go to the chocobokeep

obsidian patio
#

Go to the Airship people near the AST guild

#

One of the people there will take you back

vagrant crescent
#

So someone said pick whichever that has the highest level.

Does that mean level itself give a increased in stats? So maybe if level 10 has 2 strength, and level 40 has 0 strength cause it use intelligence instead but level 40 will still give better boost in strength cause the level is higher?

Is that how it works in FF14?

obsidian patio
#

You should always attune to aetheryte as you encounter them as a top priority

vagrant crescent
#

I see, lol XD

obsidian patio
#

You still need to actually use gear suitable for your class

faint flare
#

Highest item level with your jobs main stat

vagrant crescent
#

I see :D

faint flare
#

Gear is all job/role locked post heavensward

#

Well, post 50 except accessories

#

Those get role locked post 60

wheat vault
#

Do you guys think that support will do anything if i bought the complete edition on 7/16 and not even a week later it goes on sale for 60%. I was searching for sale info before i bought it

vagrant crescent
#

I see, lol XD

lyric rapids
#

how does the penalty system for abandoning a duty after it was readied work??

obsidian patio
#

3 strike system

lyric rapids
obsidian patio
#

If you don’t accept the queue 3 times you get locked out of all Duty Finder stuff for 30 minutes

lyric rapids
#

and when does my strikes reset?

obsidian patio
#

Any extra times past the 3rd in the same day also bring back the 30 minutes.

#

I don’t know for sure, but I assume the daily reset

leaden ginkgo
#

are races just cosmetic? And are they class locked?

obsidian patio
#

!daily

zinc orbitBOT

Tick, Tock, Kupo!
Time Until Daily Reset:

15 hours, 24 minutes, 13 seconds

Cosmetic

#

ok thank you

hoary veldt
#

What happens when DF pops but you're in a cutscene?

dire prawn
#

DF won't appear

#

So you either miss the queue pop or press F and skip the cutscene

hoary veldt
#

ahh that sucks

wet grotto
#

I think you can accept during a cutscene? Nope

dire prawn
#

It doesn't appear over the cutscene

hoary veldt
#

I thought they'd delay it or something so i could finish lol

obsidian patio
#

Some cutscenes are very long which wouldn’t be fair to the others

can someone confirm to me if Odin trial actually drops shoes and gloves for warrior?

vagrant crescent
#

Are there set bonus in the game? Like the kind of bonus you get if you have head, armor, hands, waist, legs, and feets. Some or all of which with the same name equipped at once.

Are there anything that give you additional bonus like those?

Hope that made sense

heavy wadi
#

no

vagrant crescent
#

Awesome :D

vapid nymph
#

is there any button bound to gathering etc or right click is the way?

leaden ginkgo
#

In combat when I use an ability while moving I sometimes start running towards the mob im trying to hit. Is there a setting that allows me to continue moving where I am moving and use damage abilities without it affecting my movement?

obsidian patio
#

Disable the auto-lock option in the control settings of the character config

vapid nymph
#

is there any way to display my fps in game settings? cant seem to find it

obsidian patio
#

Nope

#

You can only see it in the system config window

vapid nymph
#

30fps in town. god save me

#

Is there anyway to get The Emperor's New Earrings without a lvl 50 DoH class?

obsidian patio
#

You only need level 15

wheat plume
#

for fast level up from 61 to 70, what's better, PotD or HoH ?

obsidian patio
#

heaven on high

warm snow
#

Potd is heavensward content

#

It was never meant for anything that came after

#

This includes jobs released after hw

wheat plume
#

how long takes to level in HoH from 61 to 70?

warm snow
#

It's not fully balanced for them

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

Depends

wheat plume
#

is it faster than doing dungeons, roulettes and fates?

warm snow
#

Time of day, what floors you're doing, what job you're levelling.

All of these factor into an answer I can't give you

wheat plume
leaden ginkgo
#

are macros important or must have in endgame content?

warm snow
#

Dungeons are probably better for tanks

obsidian patio
#

No for the most part.

warm snow
obsidian patio
#

Only specific skills benefit from being made a macro

warm snow
#

This and even then they're finnicky

obsidian patio
#

Yeah 2nd option if you’re using the movement option that’s based on camera direction

im using character based

vapid nymph
#

should i be doing the side quests for story overall or its just optional quests for people that really want to see everything?

#

i like story but im scared when i see so many exclamation marks in first city 02Hehe

obsidian patio
#

Optional for the most part

#

At most they’re just minor world building lore-wise

vapid nymph
#

so i can skip those no regrets

obsidian patio
#

No.

outer mural
#

no, that was removed

fluid wren
#

spark silo

hey, some days ago someone posted an image that was like a "which expansions to buy" or something guide, outlining what you get out of buying just base game, shadowbringers, endwalker. Im trying to find it here but failing at it, does anyone have the link to that?

lyric rapids
outer mural
#
