[pine onyx]

I read you poorly

[junior walrus]

is there a simpler macro guide to collapsible huds/hotbars for only jobs

[pine onyx]

So since it's an alt, to level you need to spam either dungeons or Palace of the Dead, preferably running floors 51-60 over and over

Healers should spam regulars dungeons since they have short queues

DPS should spam PotD

[leaden ginkgo]

is there any instruction to install dps meter?

[pine onyx]

If the PotD queues are a bit long, do stuff like FATEs and hunting log to pass time

[obsidian patio]

!faq act

[zinc orbit]

ACT/Parsing

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

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

[pine onyx]

On the third party website you install it from. I don't believe we're allowed to speak about it here, and it's certainly a big no-no to do so in game

[obsidian patio]

It's fine to talk about ACT here

[pine onyx]

Gotcha

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh u can get banned for using it?

[obsidian patio]

if you use it for harassing, yes.

simply having it running won't get you in trouble at all

[pine onyx]

Not from using it

[leaden ginkgo]

oh i got those already, guess the rest is fluff

Fair enough

[fickle meadow]

what rank do i have to be to get tital cobaltpieces

[junior walrus]

does anyone know how to make something like this? (taken from r/ffxiv)

I saw a general guide but i wanted a smaller one like this just for my jobs ;;

[tight jetty]

short question: i have some location with no background music, is that normal?

[pine onyx]

Probably ARR zones

Some don't have music during the night

[tight jetty]

ah thx 🙂 yea im a new player and in ARR zones 🙂

[pine onyx]

Don't worry about it

The zones after ARR are done much better

[digital zenith]

I think I found out why endgame doesn't feel rewarding to me after MSQ, it's because I feel like having mounts and other material rewards tied to actions in the game devalues my entire effort

[sleek needle]

Looks like it's been removed

[tight jetty]

and im already enjoying ARR... 🙂

[pine onyx]

The game only gets better

[sleek needle]

O nvm

[fickle meadow]

ah cos im trying to do this one

[sleek needle]

I'm a dumbass, that's beast tribe currency?

[obsidian patio]

they're not removed.

they just went from being an inventory item to being in the currency menu

[sleek needle]

Ya just that thing you could trade it for

[fickle meadow]

yea it is

i was wondering how do you get it

[obsidian patio]

You need rank 3 for ARR dailies to give their token

[opaque grail]

I'm new and leveling (lvl 18 right now). I see that I can pick up quests to start professions. Should I do them now and along the way as I level, or just get to max level first then do professions?

[obsidian patio]

Rank 6 or 7 for Ixal

[obsidian patio]

better to be max level

[opaque grail]

thanks!

[obsidian patio]

or just enough that you have a lot of spending gil to throw around

[fickle meadow]

ah ok gotcha

[sleek needle]

I'm doing some as I have preferred server bonus, otherwise I would've waited until max lvl

[leaden ginkgo]

I am level 60 DRG in MSQ, just got out of heavensward. I want to get SAM to 60 and continue with that job instead. Right now I am 50 SAM. What is the best way to level a job up quickly?

[pine onyx]

MSQ

[sleek needle]

Dungeons basically

[pine onyx]

then leveling roulette and spamming dungeons

[dire prawn]

Ashe

[sleek needle]

Msq will be lv 60 so he can't do those on sam

[dire prawn]

If they're 60 DRG just did HW they can't do MSQ with SAM

[dire prawn]

Dungeons

Roulettes

[pine onyx]

I mean generally

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks, I was wondering if there is anything else because the wait time for DPS blows at 5:43 AM

[pine onyx]

Of course he'll have to grind some levels before

[sleek needle]

Do some fates and hunts while you wait for queue

[leaden ginkgo]

Ive never done hunts before, ill check that out

[fresh viper]

when is the last day for fashion report?

[leaden ginkgo]

Where are Save the Queen areas?

[sleek needle]

1d 22h left

So Tuesday reset I guess?

[fresh viper]

oh nice, should be enough time then

[fresh viper]

thanks

[shell gust]

if i store items in my retainer will my retainer sell those said items

or will it just hold on to them for me

[sleek needle]

Can write !fr in #kupo-bot-spam

It'll show timer & the guide

[sleek needle]

It'll hold them

[verbal rune]

It'll store em

[shell gust]

thank you 🙂

[verbal rune]

You can decide to sell something on the market trought em too

[slow isle]

What’s a good dungeon to grind for a boosted character?

[sleek needle]

To learn the class or for exp or?

[slow isle]

Exp yeah. Cause I just got my first 80, so exp is useless since msq is 77 now.

[sleek needle]

🤔

[slow isle]

Now I’m just grinding other classes like Dragoon.

[sleek needle]

Well highest lvl dungeon you can access for exp (except 50/60/70 ones)

And do daily roulettes

Leveling & alliance are best for exp

And msq, if you can stand it

[pine onyx]

I woudn't worry about wasting msq xp on boosted servers

[slow isle]

I mean like tales of adventure boosted. But alright.

[pine onyx]

Oh, I thought you meant servers with boosted xp gains

[woeful shadow]

Yo why is my mogstation in french but some stuff are in english

how can i change that?

in the login I choose English

[sleek needle]

Do you have the browser to auto translate? Or look for some language setting on the site

[glacial veldt]

Is there a way to disable the Open the Playguide prompt on startup?

[low bane]

Anyone accepting sprout friends? I'm on primal Excalibur world.

[honest anvil]

try #recruiment primal

Can't find anything to change language on the site 🤷

[wild dragon]

If tank moves past enemy group, or is attacking them but mobs still move about and attack dps or healer, does that mean the tank didnt draw aggro to himself or its just that some mobs are ''buggy'' or weird like that?

[woeful shadow]

oh goody it decided to change back to english

that was a trip

[honest anvil]

iirc the disable button is close to where the play guide is

[honest anvil]

assuming stance was on, it’s possible that the tanks didnt hit all those mobs

like WAR’s aoe is a cone so it might miss occasionally

[wild dragon]

Oh okay, so it was the tank fault, to be fair he was a sprout, next time i'll give them a heads up

[honest anvil]

or some weird server ticks … but nothing that an extra hit from the tank wont fix

[wild dragon]

It wasnt a short time thing, it kept happening for about 10min since we started the dungeon, since we were all lvl 50+ i thought maybe it wasnt the tank fault and it was some bug

but as i play i see a lot of high level sprouts doing basic errors

[honest anvil]

if it were 10 mins then tank definitely didnt have stance on

[leaden ginkgo]

what should be the stat priority of a monk?

[wild dragon]

If a tank attack a single mob near a group of mobs, does he pull the aggro more effectively from those he didnt attack, or would he need to also attack all the mobs to get the ''high aggro'' that tanks have

[honest anvil]

gotta hit them to get top aggro from them

[wild dragon]

ic, so its better to AoE each mob group you pass by

[honest anvil]

yes, spam your aoe to draw them to you

[quiet condor]

anyone know of gear that is a tank top sort of clothing made of cloth? for glam, whm has to be able to equip

crit > dh > det like all dps

[quiet condor]

mm, i guess tank top isnt really the right word

i meant similar to like

the miqote separates

i have the Oasis Sarouel as my pants and thought something like that but made of cloth could look nice

[leaden ginkgo]

nah i meant like strength dex etc

the attributes

[warm snow]

Strength

Like every other melee that's not naruto

[barren granite]

crit over DH ?

[dire prawn]

Always

[honest anvil]

yes

[copper hound]

maybe the wrong discord, but assuming i am in the clan hunt discord already, how does one actually join a hunt train on your server/datacenter and does it matter which of the daylie bounties i accept?

[dire prawn]

Crit stat increases both the damage from your crits and the chance of you critting

[barren granite]

mazn have to redo my materia heh

[dire prawn]

Direct hit stat only increases the chance that you direct hit

[quiet condor]

does the Hempen Camise change look for different races?

[dire prawn]

Yes

[barren granite]

o i was thinking the crits are only from direct hits

[quiet condor]

shame, i like the look of that frilly one

but miqotes dont get it

[barren granite]

is skill speed better then crit ?

[dire prawn]

No

[barren granite]

man i f'd up :p

[wild dragon]

does dmg reduction or dmg increase stack? so 10% reduced dmg and 20% reduced dmg = 30%?

[dire prawn]

You're playing MNK SpS should be the last stat you want

[dire prawn]

It's multiplicative not additive

[frozen fulcrum]

Guys, how do you find dungeons? Gather a group and go to the place? or is there any special group search?

[dire prawn]

Duty Finder

[barren granite]

no im dragoon

srry

[dire prawn]

That's even worse

DRG doesn't want SkS at all

[pine onyx]

^

[dire prawn]

You want the base 2.5 GCD or 2.48 GCD

[frozen fulcrum]

ty

[pine onyx]

2.46 GCD is one of DRG BiS

[warm snow]

You really really really don't need to worry about this level of optimization til endgame

[pine onyx]

But yeah you don't want skill speed

[barren granite]

well only 66 so still have time to redo stuff

[warm snow]

Don't overwhelm people

[pine onyx]

^

[barren granite]

but good to know

[pine onyx]

If you do use materia right now, focus on crit

[barren granite]

i was thinking higher refresh on skills = more damage

[dire prawn]

If you're not 80 in i520+ gear

Don't meld

It's literally not worth it

At all

In any way

[pine onyx]

And yeah I wouldn't recommend doing it

[gritty oracle]

Is there a place to view all leg armour, but with the ability to filter out genderlocked stuff/race gear/mogstation and also filter below a certain required level?

[barren granite]

cool ty

[warm snow]

Potentially but increased skill speed can't do more than knocking off maybe a quarter of a second at most. It can also mess up buff/off global skill alignment

[pine onyx]

And you'll have less crit/DH/DET

[barren granite]

ya thats minor gains at best

time wise

[gritty oracle]

Every class has a sps/sks preference, usually zero. Astrologian and scholar want very specific GCDs, while BLM just wants to hoard as much sps as possible

[bright wasp]

Because long cast times right?

[gritty oracle]

And because it relies on GCDs to deal damage

Other classes have OGCDs to deal damage with

[pine onyx]

It's nice to have a little skill speed on DRK too to be able to cast 5 bloodspillers during delirium more easily

But it's often very class specific

[barren granite]

wow i had that skill pegged wrong heh

[granite zephyr]

should I sell allagan gold piece things at a normal place where you buy gear? and get 2500 gil or is there another purpose for them

[dire prawn]

Yes

[verbal rune]

So... I'm kinda od a noob, what are GCD qne OGCD?

[dire prawn]

Vendor them

[bright wasp]

GCD = Global Cooldowns

[warm snow]

Yes

[dire prawn]

Global Cooldown and off-Global Cooldown

GCDs roll all of your GCDs

[warm snow]

!skill fast blade

[zinc orbit]

**Fast Blade** : lvl 1 GLA PLD (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 200.

Powered by XIVAPI

[dire prawn]

Most oGCDs don't share a recast with any other skill and can be used while your GCD is rolling

[boreal solstice]

Is it worth buying Exarchic Glaives for 100k if you cant craft them?

[warm snow]

!skill second wind

You can buy Starter Edition only once per platform

but if you do buy it for another platform, you do get another 30 days added to your sub

[heavy mica]

huh i see, ty

so uhhh guys

how do you buy the elemental gear from pyros npc?

I downloaded the game a year ago or so for the free trial, and now I can't find the link to download the game on my account setting, also I can't login to the lodestone (which I think the download is), is it because the devs have closed the game for non suscriber or something like this ? 😦

what do you have to do in order to be able to attach materia yourself? is it just leveling up the DoH associated with the item?

[balmy fox]

does anyone if there is a keybind i can set to show random player nameplates if i have it set to only show when selected by default?

I know there's a 'Target Filters' keybind but that only hides the nameplates that i have shown. Is there one to do the opposite?

[mossy moss]

Free trials can't use the Lodestone website

Just saying that in advance

[copper hound]

is the 20 of each memory step of the artifact weapon supposed to take this long if you do it inside bozja? ive done i think 10 skirmishes and 2 crit engagements and gotten 2 memories

[waxen harbor]

which potd floor people usually go for alt exp farm?

[mossy moss]

Apparently 1-20 is the best because higher levels can cause wipes

[leaden ginkgo]

I saw something that 1-10 is faster but gets less XP than 51-60, and it ends up being about the same XP per minute.
IDK how true that is, but personally I'd rather get to use my abilities so I do 51

[spring maple]

@mossy moss Ok thanks, but the link you guys gave me apparently work, so that's fine 🙂

[mossy moss]

Just saying because every time you log into the game as a free trial the game will ask you if you would like to open up the lodestone website.

[spring maple]

I don't even know what it is xD

[mossy moss]

Id say its kind of ff14 forums

[spring maple]

Do I need to do the sidequests or just the main quest + a daily roulette is enough to keep with the level requirement ?

[sleek needle]

Side quests give very little exp

[twilit arch]

51-60

[sleek needle]

Daily roulette and your highest lvl dungeon if you need lvls

But shouldn't be necessary except for maybe a few points

[spring maple]

Wow, I remember a few years back I needed to do the sidequests to keep up, + the hunter log, maybe I have bad memory though ^^

Do I lose Road to 70 the moment any class reaches 70?

[twilit arch]

you're assured 90 days, from character creation, with the buff

so if you're still within the 90 day window it'll return once you switch to a job below 70

[sleek needle]

From when the server stops being preferred I'd heard, still should at most be a few days difference

[twilit arch]

not always

[glacial veldt]

Oh wait, so it's always time-limited?

entirely possible for a server to stop being preferred well before the 90 daus

[sleek needle]

Yes it's a buff you keep for 90 days

[twilit arch]

you keep the buff if it remains preferred after the 90 days

[sleek needle]

I mean it's 90 days from when the servers stops being preferred

[twilit arch]

No

that is not the case at all

its from character creation

[sleek needle]

Not that it only lasts while it's preferred

Well can't say where I heard it from so might be completely off 🤷

[twilit arch]

I can say with certainity it drops after 90 days

as my alt lost it immediately once the server i had it on stopped being preferred

because it was over 90 days old

[sleek needle]

Okidokes now I know

[manic schooner]

hey guys how do WHM deal so mch damage? Goin in i thought for sure i can outdamage them, but they went on and even almost beat our MNK lol is this a dps-build WHM?

[hot eagle]

holy spam at trash mobs, antitower doesn't rly need a lot of heals

[manic schooner]

this dmg meter only takes into acc the last boss, calcabrina. its single target.

[faint flare]

There's adds with people being trapped

[manic schooner]

also holy only 140 potency. how in the world is this possible

[hot eagle]

and stone/glare with presence of mind + assize on cd

[faint flare]

Potency isn't 1 to 1 across jobs

[manic schooner]

ohh rly/ interesting.. thats news to me

[leaden ginkgo]

how do you get to black shroud from uldah?

[green grail]

also there's no ilvl sync on it so they have all stats maxed out for level 60, which is stronger than a person with level 60 gear

[manic schooner]

i see, that must be it. i shudve checked the WHM's gears, it was probably ilvl530 for alll we know lol

[hot eagle]

eastern thanalan is connected to south shroud

[leaden ginkgo]

I tried going through there but all mobs are way higher level than me

but the story mission has me going there ¬¬

[faint flare]

Just do the story

It tells you to use airships to travel to other cities

[hot eagle]

if it's msq go to the airship landing in uldah

[faint flare]

For the Lv15 story

[leaden ginkgo]

Not this one , doesnt mention which airstrip i have to land on

[faint flare]

If you pasted the enovy quest then you already learnt how to use airships

And you should have attuned to other aetherytes

[fresh viper]

to start breeding chocobos, i'll have to reach rank 40 and retire 1 first?

[twilit arch]

ye

[lyric rapids]

how does MP ticks work? because as BLM sometimes i get to full MP and sometimes not

[faint flare]

3 seconds

[fresh viper]

thanks

[faint flare]

On the server tick

[lyric rapids]

so one tick per 3 seconds?

[faint flare]

Yes...server ticks are every 3 seconds

[gritty oracle]

ty!

[faint flare]

And that's when dots or regen effects trigger

[agile laurel]

Anyone have a decent guide for sharingan LR?

[twilit arch]

its the adventurer hairstyle by the by, can buy with mgp

[lyric rapids]

so basically i just have to be lucky if my rotations are synced with the server ticks for when i need to regen MP?

[gritty oracle]

cool ty! Gonna grab it rq then

[agile laurel]

additionally, what's the difference between bowtie and hourglass for LR?

[gritty oracle]

I think you need to do bowtie, because you can't close the hourglass north-south or a tether will explode

[agile laurel]

yes, literally asking 'what is the actual difference between an hourglass shape and a bowtie shape'

[gritty oracle]

oh sorry lmao

[faint flare]

You spend enough gcds in ice to be full mana at the end

[rich bay]

When you are aspected to ice, you will recover MP when you are casting ice magic. (The potency doesn't go up, so don't be an ice mace!

[faint flare]

With thunder and blizzard 4, and any xeno uses

[agile laurel]

typically ice rotation is simply B3 T3 B4

and 3 gcds is always sufficient

add in any xenoglossy

[lyric rapids]

because in my AOE rotation when i am out of mana after the flares and i transpose sometimes it tickes fast to use freeze and sometimes its slow

[gritty oracle]

Very fast, very paint, very garbage example. Hourglass is left, bowtie is right

[agile laurel]

Oh. Right. And that's assuming true north?

[gritty oracle]

yep

[agile laurel]

gotcha.

and in that example if it did form as hourglass, NE and SW should immediately swap positions?

[modest canopy]

After you get Mooch 2 for fishing, why is it that sometimes you're unable to use normal Mooch?

[agile laurel]

normal mooch requires a hq fish, always did. surely that's not the issue?

[faint flare]

Normal mooch is ONLY for HQ fish

Always did

Mooch 2 allows mooching for any quality fish on a Cooldown

[modest canopy]

Oh, I see

would be nice if they made that distinction on the descriptions

[faint flare]

!action Mooch

[zinc orbit]

**Mooch** : lvl 25 FSH (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Wow even same tooltip

[modest canopy]

you can see why I was confused lol

if it did, it was so long ago I don't remember lmao

[fickle meadow]

is there a page that calculates the dmg with potency

[molten zodiac]

Hello, i have an issue, I bought a weapon with 600 iron alloy, and when I want to switch class, it says impossible to remove it

[proud willow]

Are you trying to equip another weapon and getting an error, or are you trying to unequip your weapon?

[manic schooner]

guys in a low level dungeon without level sync, will the character retain the full stats of their gears, even its an ilvl 530 set in a lvl 50 dungoeon?

[molten zodiac]

its unequip my weapon

[proud willow]

you can never unequip a weapon, you can only replace one weapon with another

[slate spindle]

There's sheets for various jobs that do so. I'm working on a general calculator across the board for Allagan Studies

[fickle meadow]

oh ok is there one for drk?

[proud willow]

if you go in without level sync, you get the full stats of your gear

[molten zodiac]

Yeah okay but If I want to change my job how can I do so ? 😦

[gritty oracle]

Does "Your search has yielded all the pieces of the puzzle. It is now up to you to put them together." mean I've collected all the clues?

[slate spindle]

Probably in their gear sheets, but I don't have any tank ones handy

That said if you want to work it out yourself

https://www.akhmorning.com/allagan-studies/how-to-be-a-math-wizard/shadowbringers/

[manic schooner]

no there is still level sync. but iLvl sync isnt there. for example, the aeitherochemical facility has it on and antitower doesnt.

[proud willow]

for the Gold Saucer event? yes

[gritty oracle]

ty!

[proud willow]

If there's no iLvl sync, then you get synced to the maximum iLvl available for that level

[runic cave]

Best poetics farm? I'm told its ARF...

[proud willow]

so for level 60, that would be iLvl 270

[manic schooner]

ohhhh didnt know such ilvl caps exists.. is there a table for this? like whats the max ilvl per joblvl?

[proud willow]

50 = 130, 60 = 270, 70 = 400

[faint flare]

It's the highest gear yoy can buy

Aka the poetic gear

[manic schooner]

how about those in between? 65, 77, etc

there are dungeons that have not so round numbers

[proud willow]

for those, I suppose you just look at the crafted gear available

[manic schooner]

ohh i see.... so theres no lookup table for this 😦

[proud willow]

if it's a 65 dungeon, the level 66 crafted gear will tell you what the maximum iLvl is

[manic schooner]

thats gonna be hard for non crafters like myself xD

[proud willow]

actually I'm not even 100% sure on that myself, but I assume that's the case

[warm snow]

There's an in game jail mods put you in when you're in trouble for xyz

[wispy finch]

What should my ilvl be, im lvl 69 rn

[proud willow]

as long as it's appropriate for the MSQs you're doing, it should be all right. so if you're on lv 63 MSQs, ilvl 270 is appropriate

[tidal yarrow]

is ff having any kind of log in issues?

[left whale]

if there were, it wouldnt surprise me

[faint flare]

If you cleared castrum and praeotirum then you can get i130 with poetics

[south flower]

once I've unlocked Trusts, if I want to do another trust dungeon, how do I start it as a Trust?

How do i make the choice of joining an FC? there's too many choices with the discord and community finder

[leaden ginkgo]

Can you complete level 80 gathering class quests if main job is only around level 73? So I’m asking do you have to complete SHB to do end game gathering?

[exotic zodiac]

There are no level 80 gathering quests

[leaden ginkgo]

Then how do u reach level 80 botanist

[exotic zodiac]

you level up with those leves

[static lava]

Are the "Leves of zone" quests worth doing? They're in each zone to unlock the leve quests, but not sure if they're worth or not.

[left whale]

theres alot.. leves, collectables, crystarium stuff...

i mostly did collectables and cryst, the exp is pretty insane for the amount of time i spent afking

custom deliveries and beast tribe quests as well

ishgard restoration is still an option as well

[exotic zodiac]

it's mostly an option. Not worth it for combat but kinda worth it for gathering and crafting

[verbal prism]

Little Question. Is the Endwalker Theme already be able to bought on Amazon/other plattforms?

[static lava]

Ah okay. Well, I'm not planning on only playing one job. I want to just play all of them as and when I want to etc. So I suppose it's worth unlocking

[faint flare]

They're only good for crafting and gathering

Not combats

[static lava]

But then again, there are so many zones with leves in. Am I really going to venture to every zone to do these leves?

[left whale]

well.. yes?

[exotic zodiac]

it's only really a pain in arr

[left whale]

its up to you, but i did

[faint flare]

They're leves for different level zones

[left whale]

iirc both ARR and HW leve npcs give you some menial task to prove you're capable or w.e
fortunately they stopped this nonsense by SB

[static lava]

I mean, they don't take long do they (the permanent unlock Leve quests), so I might as well just do them.

[leaden ginkgo]

When can I select my job ?

[faint flare]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

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

[leaden ginkgo]

ah cool thanks

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/Be6dQaZ.png

[steady gate]

npc melder? oh

I can't do it on my own?

[faint flare]

If your crafter is equal level or higher

To the gears level

[steady gate]

ah to the gear's level

Do I use any other item other than the materia to meld?

[faint flare]

No

alright thanks a bunch

Y’all how did I get past ARR without doing like some serious raids? :/ I only did MSQs didn’t pick up many side missions but I just saw Asmon did a raid called clock tower at lvl50?

[proud willow]

Crystal Tower

[bright forge]

most raids are side quest content

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah that lol

[proud willow]

Crystal Tower raids show up during the post-ARR section

aka 2.X

marked blue

[zenith salmon]

Can I macro multiple buffs to one key?

Crystal Tower is a and used to be optional, but now the MSQ will stop you close to the start of Heavensward if you didn't go clear Crystal Tower

[bright forge]

You unlock Crystal Tower line through a blue quest in Mor Dhona

Oh bet cause I did notice how it’s directly linked to the MSQ storyline

you can do multiple weapons, and even work on multiple weapons at once

you just can't work on the same step of two weapons at once

[long drift]

anyone know what this is? i was just online lost connection to server and now i cant open game

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it possible to level all doh/dol jobs to 80 when my msq is around lvl73? Thxvm.

[tawny zenith]

How do I exactly unlock rogue, do I need a specific level or something

[fickle meadow]

where can i ask someone to help me power level

[bright forge]

do your level 10 class quest for your starting class and you can unlock it in Limsa Lominsa. You'll have to be past level 15 MSQ if you started in Gridania or Ul'dah since you'll airship around to the other city states at that point.

[tawny zenith]

tyy ❤️

[bright forge]

np

[bright forge]

synced means you'll be dropped down to the level range recommended/required for that content. So, for example, doing Ifrit (extreme) synced from drop you from whatever level you are to level 50. Doing it unsynced means being able to do it at a higher level.

[hazy spindle]

Hey guys im on a boosted server and halfway through stormblood and i just got my main samurai class to level 70. Is it worth it to switch my class to a different one to milk the 2x exp bonus from MSQ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah but why would I do it sync when I can be unsynced and 1 shot everything

[formal valley]

guys, can you join only one guild at the time (I honestly don't know the name yet)? I come from WoW and GW2 and in GW2 you could join several guilds

[tropic flame]

no

[bright forge]

for the challenge of doing it.

[leaden ginkgo]

Bet so no extra drops or whatever

[alpine shadow]

only one

[proud willow]

You can't queue up for something unsynced; you have to gather a party first to do it (or you have to be high level enough to solo)\

[tulip peak]

is there a way to make the camera follow my mouse instead of having to hold right click?

[warm snow]

You can, but you'll need to level whatever job to your current msq level so up to you

[proud willow]

Once you are high enough level to safely solo something, there's no benefit to doing it synced on that class instead

[warm snow]

No and afaik there never will be

[tulip peak]

well that was a quick refund

thanks

[warm snow]

As there's spells involving placing shit with your mouse etc

Could just play with controller

[bright forge]

why is that a deal breaker?

[tulip peak]

shit gives me motion sickness

[true valve]

lel?

[warm snow]

Camera I have full control of gives me motion sickness vs camera that moves every time I jitter the mouse

[hazy spindle]

@tulip peak use a controller

[sacred oracle]

how to turn items for seal?

[flat ridge]

every move, their dmg numbers, effects, buffs, debuffs, etc.

[true valve]

cant imagine camera following mouse is less motion sickness than the default snap on 6 'oclock and just using right click to pan

[leaden ginkgo]

You have to be sergeant second I believe , only green gear + can be turned it as well

[formal crystal]

If you pre ordered the physical CE of Endwalker (merch only, no game), does that come with the CE goodies like the mount? Or will I need to buy Digital CE as well when pre ordering the game?

[sacred oracle]

is this lower or higher?

and where?

[proud willow]

you're talking about the Collector's Box?

[formal crystal]

Yeah.

Oh wait I'm dumb, my bad.

[leaden ginkgo]

Don’t recall the name but it’s the second npc from the right. It’s called expert delivery and yes you’re able to turn in gear now

[formal crystal]

I just read it. Will need digital CE as well.

correct, the digital items are not included with the Box

[twilit rampart]

I just completed heavensward content, I think. I unlocked this firmanent place I heard was good for leveling crafting/gathering stuff. I found this diadem place where I thought "i could level up my fishing here". So I went in and noticed lvl80 mobs wander around. There were no fishing places I could find. Sky fishing needs lvl80(?) baits that are bought inside. SO... is it actually a place where to gather stuff? Looks like it requires max lvl gatherer?

[upper wren]

find a static

[proud willow]

you can fish and gather as long as you're at least level 10

[twilit rampart]

how?

[heady zinc]

where is the best place to look for that ?

[proud willow]

I don't think it's the best experience for gatherers though

i guess i'm going to just forget about that place

[leaden ginkgo]

That’s how it worked in WoW you’d want everything nice and tight for the DPSes but I watched a YT clip and the tank ain’t doing that

Ok, question: I just recently transferred to a new Grand Company, but my Squadron was the highest possible rank and I had achieved the role of Captain at my previous grand company. Does this mean I will immediately rank up to Captain upon getting into the Squadron Barracks? Do I need to do the 5 Command Missions again? I'm not quite sure how the squadron transfer works in terms of ranks

[warm snow]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

y not? Just go AOE burn boss and adds at the same time

[warm snow]

Most of the time you want adds away from bosses anyways as they usually buff each other

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohhhh

Bet

[warm snow]

Not the case in amon but you can ignore 90% of the mechanics on sycrus tower

There's 23 other people to handle the adds

Can you work on a relic that is not your current class? I haven’t started the quest yet. Hit 80 as GNB, and thinking of doing ARR for WAR.

[leaden ginkgo]

what classes should my retainers be? or it doesnt matter? i have only the base 2

[fresh viper]

retainers are lvl capped by your classes

[exotic zodiac]

it really depends on what you need/want. Otherwise like Xallista said they can only be as high level as you class wise

[wet grotto]

Usually people have gatherers as their retainer’s classes, if you don’t want to level your gatherers, then any dow/dom class is good

Without road to 70, is it still possible to level 2 jobs from 60-70 with primarily just MSQ? I have the Endwalker preorder 30%.

[cyan parcel]

i cannot seem to continue the PotD with my current "save slot"? i completed floors 1-10 earlier but now whenever i want to continue it says i dont meet the minimum gear strength?

[wet grotto]

You need to keep doing potd. Your aetherpool gear is what they mean

[cyan parcel]

i cant seem to though? unless i have to reset my progress?

[tribal basin]

Can I buy something with gil that has good resale value to avoid the 300k gil cap?

[wet grotto]

Yes you have to reset

[cyan parcel]

Ah

[proud willow]

You could also restart from floor 1 on your other save file

the +X/+X is not specific to any file

[wet grotto]

You could but you can’t sell on the marketboard so there’d be no point unless you plan on keeping it in your inventory

[tribal basin]

Yea my inventory will probably get filled quick if its not something that can stack

[wet grotto]

I think Illydshire materials are good resell value and they stack

[tribal basin]

Will look into it thanks

[wet grotto]

That one scrap salvager by the summoning bell and scrips exchange

[median sparrow]

I was just in the middle of a raid and my hotbar suddenly went from one long row to two shorter rows after a cutscene-- how can I put it back to a single long row?

[gritty oracle]

[median sparrow]

ah found it. Thanks @gritty oracle !

oh

ok, thx

[sick ledge]

where do i find black dye?

[static lava]

Is there a way to stop my emerald carbuncle using gust? It attacks what I;m attacking and then pulls everything around it.

[spring maple]

If I have a low end pc (i5 and average video card), should I use dx 11 ? Is the game more optimized with it or will it run more poorly than dx 9 for me ?

[sand grove]

Soot black or Jet black?

[gusty cipher]

General-purpose jet black dye comes from all kinds of lootboxes (PotD 100+, HoH 30+, Zadnor, BSF, Eureka, Fetes), or you can buy for $1 from mog station. There is Soot Black dye which will be slightly grey-er than black, and works most of the time, which you can get for cheap from vendors

[sick ledge]

all

[gusty cipher]

On pet hotbar, switch stance to "Steady" instead of "Guard"

And then you can manually choose to tell it to attack with Sic

[gusty cipher]

That isn't actually black, that is for Terebinth, which is to remove whatever dye is currently on the item

[static lava]

Will it automatically attack my target I'm attacking though?

[gusty cipher]

Not if it's in Steady

[cosmic pilot]

Does Eden still have weekly limitation?

[gusty cipher]

No, those were removed last patch

[static lava]

Okay, so I have to force it to attack on every pull?

It'll still use gust though?

[gusty cipher]

If you don't want it to potentiall attack a group

Yeah

[cosmic pilot]

So I can spam the last eden for it, Captain Shepard?

[gusty cipher]

You eventually get Egi Assault, which is a different type of attack for it, or you'll unlock another pet which is better for Single Target

[static lava]

Surely there is a way to have it not pull everything around it.

By turning off a pet ability? lol

[gusty cipher]

For that Carbuncle, no. Its purpose is AoE attacks

[static lava]

Right okay, feels like that's a pretty poor design.

[gusty cipher]

Again, manual intervention you can do Steady and then Sic when the target is close to you

[static lava]

It's the first pet you get and I attack one mob, then I'm fighting 9

and die lol

[gusty cipher]

pet AI is jank, you're not wrong

[static lava]

Oh well, there's plenty of other jobs I enjoy 🙂

[gusty cipher]

Yes, you should be able to get all your swords now if you're wanting Cryptlurker

[static lava]

I'm just used to on WoW, being able to right click a pet's ability and it just forces it to not cast that ability.

[fickle meadow]

in this section of the altlvling does this refer to the hunting logs from the companies?
● Hunts (50+) Your daily hunts give a lot of exp. The Stormblood ones give roughly 100k exp per mob set. That is 100k for killing 1-3 mobs. Do them between dungeons.

[gusty cipher]

No

In the grand company rooms, there is a signboard with Daily hunt targets, which is separate from your Hunting Log per class

[warm snow]

That's the arr one

[gusty cipher]

And they provide some XP and a different currency. There are also hutning targets each day for each expansion area

[mossy moss]

Question, can I buy dyes for gil without having to go to the market board?

interested in a pinkish dye i could maybe get my hands on

[analog gate]

one merchant in the 3 main cities always sell dyes, but the selection is more limited
i believe ixal beast tribe also sells some dyes for gil after you reach a certain rank

[mossy moss]

is he moving from city to city or is he always there?

[analog gate]

each city has one

[mossy moss]

where can i find them?

[analog gate]

market area of each city, sapphire avenue/hawker alley/whatever it's called in gridania

[mossy moss]

thank you

[boreal storm]

They’re called dyemongers iirc

[analog brook]

Bard or machinist ? For heavenward and onwards

[boreal storm]

Either

Or both, it’s your decision

[analog brook]

Hmm thinking of doing bard for main quests and play around with machinist for side stuff

[fickle meadow]

where do i view the clan hunt page

so i know what to hunt

instead of going back to the board

[boreal storm]

Key items

[fickle meadow]

ah gotcha

thanks

[twin zodiac]

Lyon down to 40% that time. Anyone have advice on his Heart of Nature w/Exoquakes that is followed up into Thirst for Blood?

I can't get close to him in time

[mossy moss]

either way you can get BiS gear for them later on and raid with them as well.

[twin zodiac]

Do I just bring Lost Swift and go around the edge?

[feral nebula]

How do i dye a gear/glamour?

Is already in the glamour dresser, but i dont see any options to dye it

How to get Dyeable Artifact Gear

A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.

Heavensward i210 set: Dyeable upon opening up the coffer received from completion of your level 60 job quest. Should you have disposed of any particular pieces, they can also be bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Yolaine in the 'Artifact Gear Exchange' option.

Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.

Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.

[faint flare]

[raw mauve]

Hey guys I just started the game but have mmo experience, when I start arcanist I can queue as a healer correct? For dungeons I mean

[tight jetty]

i have a question for the benchmark (endwalker) and if i should play on max specs or just high specs?

max i got a score from 9438 and 11.98s loading time

on high i got a score from 17'679 and 12.282s loading time

[faint flare]

No

Arcanist is a dps

It goes into a healer at 30 with scholar

[boreal storm]

Scholar is a healer

[raw mauve]

So I'd have to be conjurer?

pre job

[faint flare]

To start as a healer yes

It goes into white mage

[boreal storm]

Conjurer is the only pre-30 healer correct

[feral nebula]

yup

[nocturne herald]

tho SCH and AST can be synced down below 30, buuutt new players are out of luck

[vast ferry]

don't sync scholar below 30

you'll only have 1 heal and it's a crappy one

[faint flare]

No you have whispering

And fqiry

[feral nebula]

is not like theres a choice all the time

[nocturne herald]

Eos practically heals low level dungeons by herself tho

[feral nebula]

if u sign some roulette and it sincs u below 30 u just gotta deal with it

[nocturne herald]

or Selene if ur gross

[feral nebula]

fairies i guess are decent enough on their own

up to 30~35

[vapid nymph]

where can i get lvl 5 stuff for the quest? do i buy it somewhere or just spam side quests?

[vast ferry]

maybe our tank was jusf feeding to much then

[boreal storm]

Item level 5

You just need a hat

[faint flare]

Just buy a hat

[vapid nymph]

so i need to go back to town and find some npc to buy stuff?

[faint flare]

There's a merchant in the area

[nocturne herald]

It’s the same with WHM, they just have like cure and medica - AST breaks the rules by having essential dignity at early levels which is kinda broken it’s like a Benediction every 40 seconds

[boreal storm]

The vendor npc is like right there

[vast ferry]

cause when i was synced to 26 the tank forced me to go on full healing duty whenever he pulled

[faint flare]

Lack of defence Cooldowns

[feral nebula]

thats just the tank not usin his defs

went through the same multiple times

[bright forge]

leveling AST:
"Oh, I'm in Sastasha and I still have ED? Looks like i get to play "how low can I let the tank get" this run."

[nocturne herald]

Tbf full pulls in early dungeons are kinda Cure/Bene/Physick spam after like Rampart runs out

since half the DPS don’t know what AOE is

[vast ferry]

then the second i got separated from the party cause of the webs he died

[feral nebula]

cries in brd and mch

[nocturne herald]

BRING BACK WIDE VOLLEY

[vapid nymph]

do i need to progress the arcanist quests if i just want to switch to rogue asap? or just follow main story till 10 and unlock rogue

[faint flare]

Yes

[nocturne herald]

Just make it an upgrade to quick nock please

wide volley looked so nice

[proud willow]

doing the lv 10 class quest is the prerequisite to being able to change classes

[verbal rune]

That, yeah

[vast ferry]

you actually need to follow the story till 15 and do the class quest for level 10

[woven talon]

No

[proud willow]

don't need MSQ to 15

[faint flare]

Just class quests

[proud willow]

ACN and ROG are in the same city

[verbal rune]

You can change class at 10 if you're already in limsa

[woven talon]

MSQ to 15 is only for airship

[vapid nymph]

so i should be doing arcanist class quests or no?

[faint flare]

Yes

[woven talon]

Yes

[nocturne herald]

yes

[faint flare]

Classes quests are MANDATORY

They give you gear and skills

[vast ferry]

sorry o thought rog was in gridania for some reason

[vapid nymph]

i see i thought i dont have to since i wanna be rogue soon anyway

[mossy moss]

Question, what are Senor Sabotenders supposed to be, are they walking mascots for the gold saucer ?

[solid yacht]

how do i unlock fieldcraft leves?

[faint flare]

Yes

Cactuars

[nocturne herald]

[mossy moss]

They just look creepy as fuck

I absolutely hate them XD

[verbal rune]

Sabor-thing are just what cactuars are named in ff

[solid yacht]

i have battlecraft leves but whenever i go to any other leve location they dont have any fieldcraft leves

[mossy moss]

I'd say they're named cactuars

[frozen karma]

is there a place you can look at all the shields available in the game? eorzeacollection only seems to have armour

[manic schooner]

hey guys is there any add-ons for healers to indicate that ur on living dead? We were previously in a huge fray, i activated LD to stay alive but just before Walking Dead expire, a WHM benedicted me... how cud she have known i had it on?

[faint flare]

Cause they're paying attention

[nocturne herald]

they just see the indicator on ur party buff bar thing

[proud willow]

it's visible as a grey debuff if it triggered

[sour tide]

where do i put the load stone code

[wet grotto]

Pretty sure they’re only in non-combat areas like the Foundation and Crystarium

[proud willow]

also healers will usually notice if you hit 1 HP and didn't die

[manic schooner]

ohh so it looks more conspicuous than ur usual buffs?

[lost jasper]

is a pentameld aethetic weapon better than a ilvl 515 relic for DoH ?

[wet grotto]

Pentameld

[faint flare]

It depends

If you want more control or craftsmanship

They're interchangeable

[wet grotto]

Relic compared to pentameld only gives more craftsmanship iirc

[leaden ginkgo]

You can get rogue at level 10 btw

[faint flare]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/277966370992291840/831620061991010344/momo_and_resplendid.PNG

[lost jasper]

i feel like control is more important overall right?

[faint flare]

It's not really

After you meet the minimum requirements

Control and cms don't matter much

[leaden ginkgo]

for HQ gathering, how to increase % above 0?

[feral nebula]

Isnt sheltron from pally supposed to make me immune to attacks for 4s?

Or what is blocking in this game

[solid yacht]

Perception increasses HQ drop odds

[leaden ginkgo]

ah perception

thx

[faint flare]

It's your passive bloxk

[leaden ginkgo]

never knew this

this game sux

at telling u stuff

[nocturne herald]

Blocking is just damage mitigation

[white isle]

@faint flare how do I unlock the level 60 samurai gear

[dreamy reef]

hi everyone

[nocturne herald]

It’s not immunity to damage

[faint flare]

Do your job quests

[feral nebula]

ah, thought it was

[white isle]

Ah gotcha

[vapid nymph]

any way to hide hat?

[dreamy reef]

is there another job u can do after u get the monk

[fleet vale]

Hello there I have the lvl 60 artifact Dragoon set the dragonlancer can I improve it to make jt stronger with poetic tokens if yes where please

I have the one from centurio seals

[faint flare]

You cant

[fleet vale]

ok

[dense hound]

Yo, which data center is behemoth on?

[leaden ginkgo]

Primal

I think

[verbal rune]

If you want to keep the look of dragoon set

[boreal storm]

Antiquated is the worse version of 60 AF

[verbal rune]

Throw it in the glamour dresser

[fleet vale]

I dont have the antiquated

[leaden ginkgo]

Gathering, Perception, GP. -- which is best for top end gathering?

[fleet vale]

I have the one fron centurio seals

[boreal storm]

Then that’s it

[twilit arch]

yes

you need all of them

[woven talon]

There's no "sequel" to monk, but you can of course still get other classes and jobs

[leaden ginkgo]

which to pivot, saying u need all of them doesnt help sorry

[boreal storm]

You can dye it and everything

[leaden ginkgo]

which to focus on which to prioritize

[faint flare]

Depends on breakpoints

[twilit arch]

You want to get them to certain amounts depending on the breakpoints

and what your end-game goal is

[leaden ginkgo]

is it possible to just tell me the BEST RULE?

[twilit arch]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

Gathering, Perception, GP. which one is 1, 2, 3?
