@sour tide arr relic is optional

AND NOT SUGGESTED

[sour tide]

oh

[faint flare]

It's something you do at cap

[sour tide]

i just want bragging rights

[faint flare]

Due to the effort it takes

[warm snow]

It takes a toll, on your mental health

[sour tide]

plus its shiny

[faint flare]

Do it at 80

Much easier

[somber idol]

Quick question, what is that boss hunt thing where everyone groups up and goes around the map killing them for mounts?

[faint flare]

Hunt trains

[warm snow]

The hunt

[somber idol]

Where can I find one?

And what’s the main purpose

[sour tide]

how i visit other worlds

[cold crescent]

how much is the ff15 mount gonna cost in mgp?

[naive kraken]

mounts XD gotta spend a year killing s ranks

[faint flare]

Join centurio hunts discord in #resources

[somber idol]

Thanks!

[faint flare]

Main city aetherytes

[faint flare]

It was 200k before

No real reason it should be different

[cold crescent]

oh, is it not confirmed atm?

[faint flare]

No

[cold crescent]

gotcha

[wintry sable]

Is it normal verminion tournment or master tournment that rewards 50k MGP at very least?

[dire prawn]

The FFXV mount is going to be 200k again

[faint flare]

It's a re run

But it shouldn't change

Unless they want to make it easier

[heavy hare]

where do u buy gear for lvl 60 allagan tomestomes of poetics

[cold crescent]

coo i got like 130k on em atm

[warm snow]

This is not confirmed no misinformation in chat

[dire prawn]

Idyllshire

Or next to Ishgard aetheryte

[faint flare]

Idyllshire or sundry splendors in ishgard after 3.0

[warm snow]

[dire prawn]

When literally everybody says the XV mount will be 200k I'm disinclined to believe it's misinformation

[sour tide]

thank u changed world and got it

[wintry sable]

.

[outer mural]

bandwagon mentality

[faint flare]

Well there is no information on it

[outer mural]

it was never confirmed to be 200k again

[warm snow]

Just for the record starting in stormblood tomestone vendors are locked behind the x.0 expansion completion

[outer mural]

just that it was 200k before

[faint flare]

Outside that it WAS 200k efore

And there's no reason it would be changed

Outside of being lowered

To be easier

[outer mural]

everything will certainly be on fire if it is higher than before

[warm snow]

Shits already on fire lol

[outer mural]

more fire

[dire prawn]

ARR requires you complete 2.0 though

[warm snow]

That's where you're wrong kiddo, mor dhona tomestone vendors are open from the start

[outer mural]

and poetics are available starting at 50 regardless of story i believe

[faint flare]

Yet you don't earn poetics until after castrum

[forest sphinx]

How's the Zodiac weapon grind, when compared to the Anima weapon grind? Easier or worse?

[faint flare]

Worse than anima

[warm snow]

Way worse

[faint flare]

Cause books

[outer mural]

definitely worse i would say

[forest sphinx]

Uh oh

[dire prawn]

Zodiac is by and far the worst

[outer mural]

books and overall tedium of material gathering

[faint flare]

Anima is the easiest relic

[warm snow]

Probably the worst relic

[faint flare]

Zodiac is the worst

[outer mural]

anima is 'stock up poetics'

[faint flare]

Or second worse

[forest sphinx]

Rip me I guess

[warm snow]

Since eureka is more braindead grind so far for me

[forest sphinx]

What about Resistance?

[naive kraken]

am i the only one that didn't seem to mind the zodiac grind? XD

[outer mural]

yes

[warm snow]

Easiest

[outer mural]

Resistance is easiest after the first time for sure

[acoustic thorn]

what are the subscriptions days rewards?

[warm snow]

If you count the sheer volume of poetics as difficukty

[warm snow]

Buy enough sub time get fancy glams from old games

[spiral inlet]

do you get beast tribe rep

way faster in SB

than in HW?

[outer mural]

it should be the same

[naive kraken]

it didn't feel much faster

[warm snow]

On content fates were all on a 48ish hour respawn timer

[spiral inlet]

I started moogle one.... before

[outer mural]

the system in SB is the same as the HW one, as is with Shadowbringers

[spiral inlet]

and somehow my namazu one is higher?

[naive kraken]

if anything the zones felt bigger in HW

so more travel time

[forest sphinx]

The HW one feels bad cause they make you fly all over the place, back and forth and back and forth again

SHB you go one place, do a thing, and you're done

[outer mural]

@spiral inlet i stnad corrected

[warm snow]

They are all bigger in hw

[outer mural]

upon further research, while they use the same system, SB ones give 10 more per daily than the HW ones

whic his

very strange design wise but whatever

[spiral inlet]

ok

so...

[naive kraken]

also seemed like SB aethers were placed better for warping to some distant tasks

[warm snow]

As the team had a better handle on the engine and didn't have the arr time constraints

[spiral inlet]

I thought it was weird/strange

but whatever

Lol

[warm snow]

Objectives are also better in sb than hw imo

[naive kraken]

non-crafting HW ones didn't have good aether placements

[autumn oasis]

Should I prioritize training speed or stam first for chocobo racing?

[late coyote]

so as a person that got requited i dont get any gold feathers? id have to recruit others to get them?

[outer mural]

yeah the SB beast tribes were way less tedious

[outer mural]

yes

[faint flare]

Gold is for recruiters

Silver is for recruitees

[spiral inlet]

does SB give the same as SHb?

[wintry sable]

.

[late coyote]

can i recruit ppl rn even if im still on the first free subtime i got and haven't received the reward from typing in the code i got elsewhere?

[outer mural]

yes

but you need another person to recruit

[outer mural]

lemme see

[willow sparrow]

I can't figure out how to get to Sea of Clouds for The Knight and the Maiden Fair DRK quest

[outer mural]

keep doing MSQ if you haven't gotten to it before

[willow sparrow]

oh

[outer mural]

yes

[late coyote]

aight cheers il just put a code on the forum thread and hope i get lucky :D

[sour iron]

Hi I'm new I'm like level 25 lancer. Thinking about switching to conjurer because I find lancer really boring do I just go to gridania and start the guild questlines?

[outer mural]

go in peace, and good luck

[sour iron]

Or is there any thing special I need to do ?

[outer mural]

yes, make sure you do the job quests up to level 10 first for your first class and that's it

[somber idol]

Is there a best way to rank up grand company?

[sour iron]

Yeah I done that

Cheerd

[outer mural]

And do your GC hunt log

[somber idol]

Ok thanks guys!

[mental thistle]

Trying to keep it simple to avoid a wall of text: Is it intended to be weird, if you purchase a subscription on your last free day, especially if you would like to buy additional retainers?

[spiral inlet]

these were all started

before moogle

Namazu was the first one

[hoary veldt]

Whats that song called that plays in HW?

[spiral inlet]

barely hit trusted with moogle today

[outer mural]

yeah it sounds awkward to do

[spiral inlet]

er

I mean*

I started moogle first

[obsidian patio]

Where specifically?

[outer mural]

need to be a bit more specific

[warm snow]

You're gonna have to be a weeeee bit more specific

[hoary veldt]

ahhh

the one with the woman singing

[hard aurora]

a bit more specific

[obsidian patio]

Dragonsong

[hard aurora]

lol

[warm snow]

Again, a bit more specific

[outer mural]

dragonsong should be it

[hoary veldt]

lmfao let me see

[warm snow]

Could be heavensward too

[dire prawn]

Be more specific

[hoary veldt]

nah its not dragonsong

she goes high pitched

[dire prawn]

What were you doing when it played

[warm snow]

That's probably heavensward

Brb

[hoary veldt]

i was speaking

[dire prawn]

To who

[hoary veldt]

ah yea it is heavenward

ty ty

[warm snow]

https://youtu.be/0JeUGDuUpDk

[dire prawn]

Five seconds in and it's already so much worse than Dragonsong

[warm snow]

Not the fucking point

[outer mural]

Hi I've played the game for around 3 days so far, right now I'm a lv 41 paladin. As it stands the class I really want to play the most right now is Gunbreaker, is the fastest way to level in this game doing the story?

[leaden ginkgo]

yup

[faint flare]

Yes

It's mandatory anyway

[late coyote]

im trying to post something on the ffxiv forums and its telling me to select a main character and everytime i do click the only character there and click save it does nothing and i cant access the forums

[outer mural]

yeah doing msq and roulettes will get you up to 60 very quickly

[warm snow]

EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress. Also you'll need to own shadowbringers

[dire kestrel]

I do. Also, once I unlock gunbreaker I go back to level 1 when using the weapon right?

[leaden ginkgo]

nope

[outer mural]

nope

[warm snow]

Nope

[outer mural]

it stays at 60

[outer mural]

expansion jobs start at a later level so you don't gotta deal with some of that fluff

[viscid fossil]

Just a reminder to all, don't burn yourself out playing ffxiv for the first time. It can be addictive.

[warm snow]

As a result diving headfirst into a stormblood or shadowbringers job can be a bit overwhelming

[worn peak]

So I'm on the lich server, are free companies cross server now and can you play with friends cross server? Looking for a social free company to join at some point

[outer mural]

free companies are not cross server

[faint flare]

Still locked to server

[outer mural]

but you can play with friends cross server yes

[dire kestrel]

I don't feel like I'm burning out rn but I am having a lot of fun

[worn peak]

Ok thanks so when looking for a FC make sure it's on lich then tyty 😊

[astral edge]

am i dumb for not seeing the cannons on steps of faith? i was constantly behind the boss because as BLM its hard to hit a target constantly moving away from you that also needs you to be closer to it then it seems

[obsidian patio]

The cannons are in front of the boss

[astral edge]

ik that now, but even when i looked under the dragon to the front side i saw nothing

i feel kinda bad and dumb because i feel like i was being useless

[obsidian patio]

Yeah the fight isn’t fun as a caster

[faint flare]

The cannons are suuuuper important these days but they're still good

[dire prawn]

I did Steps of Faith as SAM and I was directly under the boss the entire fight

[faint flare]

They're quite abit ahead of the boss

[dire prawn]

I couldn't see it half the time

[faint flare]

You can at least practice slidecasting

To try and keep on the boss

It doesn't move fast

So slidecasting should help stick on it

[astral edge]

i feel dumb because even the other sprouts were in front while i was the only one under the boss the whole time while having all my attention being taken up by my procs

[faint flare]

Most sit under the boss

It's a safe placr

[solid crypt]

i'm a canon main on steps

[waxen siren]

Okay so I’m trying to buy a Fantasia on the store but it keeps saying my post code is invalid

I’m in the Eu if it matter, how do I fix this?

[dire prawn]

Can DoT ticks crit/dh or only the initial application if it deals initial damage?

[faint flare]

They can

It was a major part of bard in stormblood

As songs triggered on dot critting

Opposed to a normal chance per tick

[obsidian patio]

They do, but it doesn’t show it visually besides an increase in damage

[solid sable]

Hi I am trying to unlock Hunts and am very confused...
So, I can see hunts on the ARR hunting Board, which means I must've completed the Quest "Let the Hunt Begin", right?
However, I can't find that quest as completed in my log and I can't accept Hunts in Ishgard but I also can't accept any quest there. Need help :/

[astral edge]

how bad is it that most of my attention in dunjs is on my mana and procs

and in general feeling more comfortable using spells when i see the button go darkened and then white circle go round

[naive kraken]

its good at first because it means you care about your rotation

but eventually you'll memorize it

[astral edge]

im lvl54

ive been using the same rotation for a while now

[faint flare]

Well you won't be using Fire as much when you get fire 4

[astral edge]

i can do it with my eyes closed, but my eyes still gravitate towards the hotbar

[faint flare]

So you won't constantly be watching for firestarter

Most put their proc skills on a separate hotbar and have it floating in visible eye range to help keep track of them

[astral edge]

and its also kinda mentally taxing to constantly switch my focus between MP/procs/spells and the battlefield

uhh ig i can make a hotbar like that

[faint flare]

Tbh once you get fire 4 you get into a pretty set loop

3 f4s 1 f1, 3 f4s then into ice

[turbid pilot]

Hey so I'm getting a 3102 error after getting accidentally disconnected. I've tried two different characters and I've got nothing

[warm yacht]

Do melds on your Kirin chest really matter that much going into Eureka for the first time? I just melded as much DH and DET as I could seeing as I'm a SAM

[turbid pilot]

I'm used to needing to give it a minute to log me out, but this is acting a little differently. It's kicking me all the way out to the title screen

[warm yacht]

(Crit was capped)

[west oar]

Is someone 100k for a single wootz ore on the market board asking too much? Just curious and I know you can get it with GC

[turbid pilot]

try the !market command in #kupo-bot-spam . Syntax is !market DC item

[west oar]

thank you 🙂

[spring lintel]

do all mounts move at the same speed? i feel like my behemoth is slower than my chocobo

[faint flare]

Yes

[turbid pilot]

Prices may not be perfectly up to date, but it should give you an idea

[west oar]

you can unlock mount speed increases in different regions

[wet grotto]

Behemonth feels slow because it’s big

[west oar]

so might wanna look into doing that

[rough epoch]

Does equipment affect exp gain as a BTN/MIN between 1-60 and 1-80 in the diadem at all? by having more stats for better items during nodes or whatever

[proper crag]

my chocobo is a slow pos. how do I make it better?

[faint flare]

Do story

For mount upgrade for zone

[proper crag]

is it a side quest?

[faint flare]

No

[slate arrow]

buy speed maps from the hunt bill master if you want it right now

[faint flare]

You get mount speed upgrades in zones as you do story

[slate arrow]

Otherwise, it's story locked for ground speed

Flight is always max speed

[outer mural]

nay but it increases success rate which will directly lead to more exp

[proper crag]

when do I get flight?

like after which primal

[outer mural]

exp is based on what you mine, gear lets you reach the breakpoints needed to mine it

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

[proper crag]

damn

guess I'll just strut around

this pos

[broken cairn]

can you leave and return to an on-going wedding?

[astral edge]

how annoyed are people usually when someone (me) is being a dumb fuck who cant figure out what the explanation of the mechanics is saying or anything else that should seem obvious

[rough epoch]

I saw that last time I was in the diadem there was only a lvl 1 node option and level 60, does that mean I should only bother getting better equipment at level 60 to have a chance at those nodes?

[obsidian patio]

Pretty sure not, after a point

[dull valley]

@astral edge it feels like youre fishing for sympathy

[obsidian patio]

Once you’re in the main hall you can’t leave and re-enter

[astral edge]

im just anxious aa

[broken cairn]

ah, ok

[astral edge]

i genuinely wanna know tho because i kinda struggle in dunjs/trials/raids sometimes

so i wanna know if people being annoyed at me is justified

[dull valley]

no one is being annoyed, its in your head

just play the game

[broken cairn]

do you have a source on this? is it from the EB website? i believe you but my friends want further confirmation

[obsidian patio]

From personal experience, though it’s been years. :/

EB website might say it

[warm yacht]

Besides the seal cap increase and the fancy weapon glams from the Quartermaster, what else does Captain unlock?

[obsidian patio]

I think it has the GC teleport ticket?

[warm yacht]

pretty sure that's 1st LT

[twilit arch]

fairly certain its just weapon glam and cap increase

[warm yacht]

Damn. Alright, nbd. Been wanting captain for ages so I was excited to see what I could get now that I finally made it

[broken cairn]

well, i can confirm happily that you have incorrect information I was able to successfully leave and come back. thanks for the help anyway

[obsidian patio]

👍

[warm yacht]

is Xelphatol Spring Water valuable/difficult to get such that you could make some money selling it? It seems to be the only other thing Captain unlocks at the quartermaster

[obsidian patio]

The original source was ixal beast tribe tokens

Gilgamesh has them at 800 Gil :/

[warm yacht]

Oof. Not even a 2-1 seal exchange. Thanks anyway

[eternal pawn]

If I wanted to make a new class should I start a new character?

[warm yacht]

Also why does a pepper cost 50k seals lmao

[waxen condor]

So as a tank, should you move out of Aoes or attack cones, or should you pop a cd.

[obsidian patio]

Move out whenever possible

[eternal pawn]

Or just swap weapons? I been watching some yt videos

[gusty cipher]

If it's avoidable, avoid it

[faint flare]

Never take avoidable damage

[faint flare]

Just swap jobs

[obsidian patio]

Yes you can swap jobs by swapping weapons

[faint flare]

You get bonus xp for jobs under your highest level job

[gusty cipher]

If it's against a boss, you'll get Vulnerability stacks that make you take more damage, so don't get into that habit

[waxen condor]

Ahh Kk,

[faint flare]

Making an alt means you need to redo EVERYTHING

And nothing is shared between them

Save like account mounts and collectors/preorder stuff

[eternal pawn]

Which one is better conjurer thaumsturge or an arcanist

[faint flare]

They're all different

[waxen condor]

Black mage is so cool

[faint flare]

And all viable

Conjurer is a healer

[eternal pawn]

What weapons would I need? And can I buy them somewhere

[faint flare]

You get given the weapon

When you unlock that job

[eternal pawn]

Oh

So I gotta wait till a certain lvl right?

Looking for a way to be more gil efficient if I'm gonna level most of not all DoH jobs

[faint flare]

Then gotta level your gathering alongside

Tis why we say level them all together

[neon fog]

That's this week's goals

Only just got into the professions side of ff, iv never been Intrested in that sort of game play but I know I miss alot of efficiency and self sustainability if I don't do it

Not to mention gil gains

[cedar horizon]

Whats the fastest way of leveling alt jobs?

Cuz I know duty roulette is one but thats like once per day I would assume for the extra rewards. But doesnt my character also have to be around that level to actually gain xp? Like my level 50 character wont gain any exp from a level 10 guild hest even if it gives extra exp and gil lol

[obsidian patio]

No.

Roulette experience scales

[neon fog]

Crystal Tower as far as iv been told, besides dailies and roulette level que

[obsidian patio]

guildhests is just a shitty roulette for experience

[naive kraken]

guildhests are fir a title and GC seals

what is the max rank you can grind your racing chocobo to?

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[obsidian patio]

R-300, I think

[warm snow]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

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

[warm snow]

Pretty much

[naive kraken]

though your first chocobo or two arent likely to have the stats to hit r-300?

[knotty lily]

Yeah its a good idea, but you can keep an eye on the status page to see which servers are open at the moment:
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/
For specific servers, around/after midnight is a good bet

[outer mural]

late but yes

[fresh viper]

this goes up to 300?

[naive kraken]

the rating

[fresh viper]

oh, i was asking about rank

[naive kraken]

50

i'll grind to 50 before retiring for breeding then

[twilit dust]

Is there a website that shows the most sold materials

[mild ermine]

I noticed I don't have the Weight of the World (instrumental) orchestration scroll in my library. And according to the wiki, or gamerscape they all say I just have to do a questline that I think I already did but I can't find it in my complete. So I searched for the quest npc and can't find them either. Idk what I'm missing here I wanna pull my hair out

[eternal pawn]

You said limsa lominsa I just turned lvl 15 how do I go there ?

[regal pawn]

There will be an MSQ that takes you to the other cities

[eternal pawn]

Oh okay guessing that’s the blue crystal thing

[regal pawn]

It'll lead you to where you gotta go

[regal pawn]

Go to the Crystarium. There will be a quest near the market.

[green grail]

think it's from when you finish the yorha dwarf message log collection menu weekly things that you can start after beating tower? maybe

[tardy comet]

[regal pawn]

There's 5 role quests, technically.
Physical, Caster, Healer, Tank.
the 5th one is for doing all of them

They're not blue iirc

[knotty lily]

Dalamud Red for Red Mage, or any shade of blue for Blue Mage, what else?

[regal pawn]

Role Quests FAQ

What are Role Quests?

Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.

At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.

I can't find where I left off!

No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests

Is there any way to create a macro where when you click the ability "Salted Earth" the ability is casted based on where your cursor is? Just like in wow

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

F

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[faint flare]

It will cast on your targets hitbox

[obsidian patio]

/ac “Salted Earth” <mo>

[faint flare]

But not where your cursor is

[leaden ginkgo]

Nice

[obsidian patio]

You want to fill the macro with copies of that line to help it work a bit better

Something like this

[leaden ginkgo]

okok

Just change the <t> and <me> for <mo>

[leaden ginkgo]

okok

[leaden ginkgo]

Dang, thanks for the info tho

[vivid bane]

is there anything that's recomended to do before endwalker? I've finished the story and I'm not sure what to do now.

[outer mural]

really depends on your goals but you might want to level classes you see yourself playing, and do ethe remaining side content in the game

eden raids, nier raids, sorrow of werlyt trial series, etc

[dry lichen]

hi, i played the beta but never purchased the game. when i try to join the free trial up to 60 it says that i am not eligible since i am already registered for a service account. is there any way around this or do i need to make a new account?

[alpine shadow]

top part i doubt exists

[gusty cipher]

That might be better suited for #glamour-discussion

[flint sorrel]

or just somthing like that

[alpine shadow]

if you already have a service account, you can't create a new free trial acc

you need a completely new account

[leaden ginkgo]

hey can I macroicon from the main commands section of the action and traits window ?

[opal sorrel]

So i threw away my saw how do i get a new one

[gusty cipher]

Buy one from a Tool vendor, whcih there's one in each major city in their general bazaar area

[dry lichen]

if i purchase the starter can i still play free up til 60 then or am i on gametime

[gusty cipher]

If you make a purchase with real $$$, you're on game time

[opal sorrel]

How do i know where the tool vendor is

I only see equipment

[alpine shadow]

game time, but you get 30 free days after registering starter edition

[lunar nexus]

Hey there, are there any guides on how to optimally level retainers to get them to max as quickly as possible? Looking for an in-depth guide that spares my brain as much as possible lmao

Primarily planning to do DoW/DoM retainers (Dancer) unless Gatherers are so much better; I don't really plan on leveling gatherers that much next expansion unless I get bored so Dancer might be the best decision for me.

[dry lichen]

dang that kinda sucks if i want to keep my username

[alpine shadow]

? you can just play free trial?

[faint flare]

They played during beta

[alpine shadow]

ah wait, you said you couldn't?

[faint flare]

Ages ago

[alpine shadow]

aah, yeah then they would need to buy

[faint flare]

And aren't eligible

[twilit arch]

send them out on ventures every hour while you're logged in, then when you log out for the night send them on 18hr ventures

[gusty cipher]

It basically amounts to, more time efficient is to spam Quick Venture, most venture-efficient is to constantly use the highest level 18h Exploration you have access to

[dry lichen]

ya it says i have service account because of the beta 😦

[dull yoke]

Do any of you think that they will increase drop rates of field notes in 6.0?

[alpine shadow]

yeah, you need to create a new account, but your first and last name ingame can be used anywhere as long it is on a different server as your original character

[dull yoke]

Do any of you think that they will increase drop rates of field notes in 6.0?

[faint flare]

Probably not

Maybe but eh

They're not that bad

[woven talon]

is there a standard for which role should use limit break / whether people should save it?

[faint flare]

Melees for bosses, casters/range for Trash/multi targets....tanks when mechanics required it and healers only to mass raise people with lb3

[potent lava]

hey so my hud settings reset, but I vaguely remember I recently did a character backup, where would that be and how would i apply it

[faint flare]

Character selection

The cog next to the character name

[white sierra]

Where do I get tomestone gear in storm blood? Wanna try that rathalos fight and then do raids

[faint flare]

Download it

[faint flare]

Rhalgars or kugane sundry splendors

[charred cipher]

does msq, leveling, or alliance raid roulettes give the most exp?

[faint flare]

Msq gives most cause it's the longest

[woven talon]

thank

[charred cipher]

ty

[delicate remnant]

How are the drop rate of memories form stormblood fates? I see some guides say they aren't worth doing and alliance raids are betterr

[faint flare]

They increased it by some amount

But increased raids to give 3

Just do fates while queing

As usual

[delicate remnant]

ok thanks

[lavish vortex]

If you use trick attack in a 24 man raid… the boss gets 5% more damage from the 24 players? Or just from the ones in your party?

[faint flare]

All players

[lavish vortex]

Man, NIN is op in 24 man raids then! Nice!

[faint flare]

Same with Chain strat

[lavish vortex]

What’s that?

[faint flare]

Scholars crit buff they put on the boss

[lavish vortex]

Oh ok, cool! So I’m guessing one trick attack is good but 2 won’t stack, right?

[faint flare]

They don't

[spring canyon]

Hey Everyone I'm a fresh 80 who just finished the MSQ. I was hoping someone could give me a clear path toward engame content? What do I need to do now to get better gear?

[faint flare]

Check pins

For gear guide

[lavish vortex]

Thanks!

[spring canyon]

TYVM 🙂

[lunar nexus]

Is there any correlation between what class a retainer has and what job I can assign them? For example, can I level them up to 60 as an Arcanist and then make them a Dancer?

[faint flare]

You can do that

That's how you assign them expansion jobs

[lunar nexus]

Just making sure before I commit, thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

You can only assign them their level 30 job or expansion jobs

you cant make an arcanist a warrior

[heady sparrow]

Does anyone know why imitation windows might give no glow at all? I've heard they can be different with lighting depending on the time of day but mine is always completely dull with no glow at all.

[lunar nexus]

Gotcha, so expansion jobs are basically free for all since they don't have a prerequisite stage like other jobs

[rich idol]

anyone can help me with a custom delivery? I need some information here

[lunar nexus]

That about right?

[leaden ginkgo]

yup

[lunar nexus]

alrighty, thanks

[rich idol]

like, I'm trying to deliver an item but I cannot and I don't know why?

[faint flare]

Collectiblity too low probably

[faint flare]

Yeah you didn't raise collectiblity at all

Look at the bottom of the delivery page

[indigo loom]

would anyone happen to have 8 o'ghomoro berries they'd be willing to give or trade for? fucked up my chocobo colors

[rich idol]

so how do I raise the collectability of it?

[faint flare]

That's the collectiblity thresholds

Raise thr quality

[rich idol]

ah I see, alright thank you

[faint flare]

It's the same as crafting HQ stuff

The level is the minimum level

To enter

[lunar nexus]

^^ if there are any duties that exceed that minimum level they'll be added to the pool, with notable exceptions

mainly MSQ roulette which is only two dungeons

What level are you?

[faint flare]

That's the minimum level to enter it

Yes. Cause you can get a lower level dungeon

But you can also get current level dungeons

[lunar nexus]

https://rhap.city/i/vtpeg.png These are all of the roulettes, although I believe some might be unlocked earlier than the stated level

[faint flare]

Levelling roulette has ALL levelling dungeons in it

[drowsy pagoda]

What does favored and free destination mean?

[faint flare]

And arr trials for whatever reason

[lunar nexus]

The way dungeons in this game works is that they have a maximum level you can be inside of them; if you're over this level you get reduced down to that level, but you get the amount of experience relevant for your current level

[faint flare]

Favoured is half cost...free is free

[drowsy pagoda]

@faint flare Is home point and free destination the same thing or can i have a differnt home point and a free destination?

[lunar nexus]

Your Home Point is where your Return spell sets you to

your free/favored affects transport costs with Teleport

[boreal storm]

And where you go if you died

[lunar nexus]

essentially you'd get a free teleport with a 15m CD via Return, and a permanently free destination via Teleport with no CD

(in other words it's more efficient to set them to different destinations)

That being said, as you get to further in the game the cost you pay for teleporting starts to feel negligible so I wouldn't put too much stock into it

[flint pollen]

how are ppl are ending the fate so quick from 0% and when i get there it is done and im like how is that possible

[lunar nexus]

just multiple people probably

[flint pollen]

maybe but but if not to many how are they are taking it down so fast

im at a point just forget it cause i cant earn a freaking thing when those fates are done before i get there or nearly finish

im done with it

[opal sorrel]

Which story line is the longest

[flint pollen]

been happening since last night

[kind fable]

if I pass the level cap for heavensward will it automatically throw me into stormblood or do I still have to do the msq for heavensward?

[lunar nexus]

MSQ needs to be done no matter what

[dire prawn]

still have to do HW

Everything is locked behind msq

[lunar nexus]

this isn't like WoW where you can skip over expansions, the MSQ is a straight linear path

[dire prawn]

Your level means jack diddly

[opal sorrel]

U cant skip through msq

[kind fable]

damn, i just wanna start doing raids

[wheat tundra]

For raids like puppet bunker are statics needed?

[opal sorrel]

Dont be a quin69696969

[lunar nexus]

One thing people will tell you about this game is to treat it like its RPG counterparts and you'll enjoy it a lot more, take the story in and don't worry yourself about getting to the endgame as much; the raiding endgame is a bit weak in general and it's currently the prelude to Endwalker so a lot of guilds aren't progging

[dire prawn]

No

Puppets' Bunker is an alliance raid

[kind fable]

ah okay, I came to this game from WoW, and im not used to just playing the story, I always just wanna raid and do endgame content lol

[flint pollen]

progging ?

[opal sorrel]

The story is good asf

And im onlt at ARR cant wait for hw

[lunar nexus]

It's definitely a change of pace but regardless of what I think about WoW, it has stronger endgame than XIV does

[radiant viper]

I like to think that this is just another FF game like the other 12-13 that exist and just it happens to have online multiplayer and sick group PvE content on top of the nice single player experience. just that single player experience is unskippable without boost, and even then you have to do the 30-40 hours of newest expansion if you boost.

[dire prawn]

Is this what I think it is?

If yoy get bored play some golden saucer and get that MGP boii

[modest laurel]

Hello! Is there some way to sort my inventory? Like a button to just sort everything to category sorting e.g. I only found one setting that will make future items sort, but I found nothing to sort my current inventory.

[knotty lily]

Right-click or select any item in it:

[radiant viper]

There's an auto sort by right clicking any item in your inventory but I don't know how it's based

[wheat tundra]

ahh okay sweet !

[radiant viper]

like how it decides what goes where

[dire prawn]

Oh fuck me it is

[magic burrow]

hi, has anyone seen a queue this long for a solo duty?

[modest laurel]

NVM what I said lol. Thx again for the help!

[lunar nexus]

For a solo duty? I would've reset queue long before then lmao

That's definitely not normal

[magic burrow]

the number's been ticking down sloooowly

im afraid of resetting my position at this point

[warm yacht]

Wait. Shit. Do you only get provisioning/supply missions offered for jobs that you've actually, y'know, unlocked, from your GC?

[lunar nexus]

I'm not on Aether so the only thing I can think of is extreme congestion on that DC

haven't ever had that issue on Crystal

[flint pollen]

i dont like the certian sorting it does like it does based on the gears first like you weap from highest to the lowest on down and then next is your hat and so forth down the list on your gears and your rings are last and others that are not part of armor then the rest is what idnk

i would like to have an option to sorting

[lunar nexus]

there's options in your character settings to adjust how it sorts if that's what you're asking for

but I'm unsure how in-depth it is

[warm yacht]

Like is 1 provisioning and 3 supply missions per day the usual allotment?

[modest laurel]

I guess you'll have to go for addons for that then. like in WoW

[knotty lily]

Thats right, if you dont have Goldsmith unlocked or Botanist unlocked then you can't hand in anything for the day on those two, for example.
But they offer you one hand-in per class, per day, thats the only "allotment"

[last ginkgo]

im sorta new but i leveled a 80 ninja and now trying to level up a red mage, trying to do the duty 50/60/70 roulette. I can check the box but it wont let me que for it. im not sure what im missing

[radiant viper]

@warm yacht this is my supply/provision list and its this full every day

[warm yacht]

So if you unlock all crafters and gatherers, even just to level 1 and then do nothing

yeah. thought so

thx

I need to get to unlocking in that case bc it's free passive xp

[radiant viper]

and seals for days

[knotty lily]

If its locked, it should tell you "why" you dont meet the requirement:
Maybe your item level or something?

[warm yacht]

I'm getting like 2-3 levels for GLD for a 5k gil item

[knotty lily]

Daily GC handins are always relevant, even in Endwalker you better believe I'll be doing all 10 supply missions every day until I'm full 90s!

[last ginkgo]

doesn't say. when i que it says unable to register two or more duty requirements unmet? not sure what that means

[radiant viper]

that means there are like 2 level 80 dungeons you haven't unlocked

that aren't part of the MSQ

that are required for that queue to be active

[last ginkgo]

oh...

[radiant viper]

usually for 80 it's like the twinning and one or two others

[warm yacht]

90s

🙂

[knotty lily]

Yeah just unlock a couple 80 dungeons and you should be fine

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there any mod that can change the HP to a ELVUI kinda thing?

[last ginkgo]

okay ty

[radiant viper]

none that I know about seems like people are hoping that with EW or sometime soon randomly that HP/MP bars will be splittable, I think as is you can only relocate and resize the current HP/Resource pairing.

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah

[proper nest]

whats a sale I can make from things from the MB?

[leaden ginkgo]

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

why did i only get 6mill xp on my xp bar

like wtf

[radiant viper]

it's just probably 2 "channels" of text reading you the same 6 mil xp gain

and not 12 mil

like one duty finder color text one general color text

[verbal rune]

Is the make it rain hairstyle obtainable?

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i stop that happening? its misleading

[knotty lily]

Whats the question here sorry? Maybe we're not sure what you mean

[hollow violet]

For Lords of Verminion - what does the Tournament rule 'only monsters' actually mean? I played one tournament match and both my opponent and myself were able to deploy Critters

[fiery pagoda]

i hit lvl80 on my gnb. im at grenoldt and he doesn't have the lvl80 msq gear for the gnb, just for drg which i leveled up first

[knotty lily]

You finish all the role quests for tank?

[radiant viper]

you could mess around with the text that appear in your chat channels in the chat setting, or just have the duty finder text only appear in its own tab

[faint flare]

Do your tank role qursts

[fiery pagoda]

@knotty lily for my gnb, yes

[magic burrow]

queue popped after 50 minutes...

[radiant viper]

just kinda depends how you want to get your text to read, I'd fiddle around in the chat settings until you get it to work the way you want.

[proper nest]

Oh I meant what can I sell from the GC quartermaster on the market board

[lunar nexus]

thats insane man, I don't know what to tell you

#questions-and-help message

I usually check these things

[lunar nexus]

Can I get a quick reminder on how supply/provision missions work? How many times can I fulfill it?

[knotty lily]

I'd add on Cordial to that list, sometimes (sometimes) you can get away with it

[obsidian patio]

Once per day

[knotty lily]

One per class, per day

[obsidian patio]

They’re simple item turn ins

[proper nest]

thanks!

[lunar nexus]

gotcha, thanks

[knotty lily]

And if you hand them in HQ, its "double" rewards

[leaden ginkgo]

any idea how i stop the 2 channels outputting the same shit, since its missleading as i keep thinking i get double the xp :/ @radiant viper

[obsidian patio]

Character config > log window settings > log filters

[deep meteor]

what's the website that shows which servers are available to make new characters?

[obsidian patio]

The specific thing to turn off is “Own Progression messages”

It’s a dedicated FFXIV discord you don’t need to ask if we play

[drifting nymph]

Has anyone ever had this happen to thair game window? If so, do you have any idea how to fix it? This started happening a little while back and it's not constan't but it pops up fairly frequently now and it's only present in FFXIV.

[tight kettle]

is there a way to way change the color of player name separately depending on their class?

for example, if the player is using a healer class their name appears in Green and if they're using a tank class, their name appears in Blue

[jade quartz]

No

[plucky totem]

Guys quick question

Im at urianger

[tight kettle]

thanks!

[plucky totem]

But it aint giving me the extreme for ifrit

[leaden ginkgo]

have you done the quests you need for it?

like titan ex/garuda ex

[plucky totem]

Not yet

[leaden ginkgo]

then thats why.

those come before ifrit

[plucky totem]

So just go through the patches ?

[leaden ginkgo]

yup

just do his quests and they unlock soon. 🙂

[verbal rune]

So...

[leaden ginkgo]

should be a few hard/extreme dungeons you unlock from him

[verbal rune]

About that make it rain hairstyle

[plucky totem]

Ok cool so just finish the patches and u can do all the extreme

Arr

[leaden ginkgo]

well not all, most 🙂

yeah, arr

[plucky totem]

Ok cool

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah i had to use the wiki to figure it out when i did it a few days ago lol

fun times.

[plucky totem]

So most of the hard ones are story patches as well?

[leaden ginkgo]

pretty much

[forest sphinx]

Is there a Pin or a Chart anywhere on what to do with Tomestones of Allegory?

[obsidian patio]

Hard is basically the “default” difficulty for primals past 1-49

[leaden ginkgo]

this might help. @plucky totem https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Content_Unlock

[obsidian patio]

And after a point they just drop the hard tag entirely due to being pointless

[obsidian patio]

Pins have a gearing guide and how to spend them for upgrading Exarchic gear

If you don’t need them for gear, just spend them on the tomestone materials that are worth 20 tomes

Check whichever sells best for your server since it changes often

[deep meteor]

is there any recommended server to join on aether? like the "best" server?

[faint flare]

Nope

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

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

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

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

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)
  ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

you can change the color of your chocobo though

[boreal storm]

Paint your chocobo black if you want that

[leaden ginkgo]

paint it red

like the song

[drowsy pagoda]

how to paint?

[faint flare]

Feed it specific food while it's stabled

[buoyant coyote]

Can mounts other than chocobo fight at your side?

[faint flare]

.

[neon holly]

how do you change the idle animation?

[faint flare]

/Cpose

[buoyant coyote]

X means no? That's very disappointing.

[verbal rune]

Nope

[knotty lily]

Unfortunately, but it would be cool one day...!

[faint flare]

They won't update companions

[tight spoke]

why are my umbrellas not available when im in {ShB spoiler} ||the first||?

[dire prawn]

You're || in an entirely different dimension || why would they be available

[tight spoke]

because,|| as im completely summoned body and soul, along with my personal effects, all should be there||

[random girder]

also ||there is no rain||

[twilit arch]

afaik you should be able to use fashion accessories

[jade quartz]

They should be?

[twilit arch]

did you just enter shadowbringers/

[wicked steppe]

Hi! Does anyone know if buying items on same-account alts is still possible?

I.e. 1. I put an item for sale on a housing mannequin on character A.
2. Log on character B to purchase the item, and do it.

[twilit arch]

weird

[wheat plume]

The HP Abbysal Drain heals is more if the attack hits more enemies?

[random girder]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[jade quartz]

Then you don’t have any

[random girder]

its very chunky on trash pulls

[buoyant coyote]

Are there any other NPCs who we can have fight alongside us in general, or still just chocobos?

[random girder]

during shb you get trusts

[faint flare]

Arcanist has pets

[random girder]

also mch gets a mech

[faint flare]

And yeah, Squadrons and trusts

[random girder]

drk gets a friend

[faint flare]

To run dungeons

[random girder]

nin gets a uh

shadow clone

[faint flare]

DRK gets a shadow pet

[dire prawn]

Emerald what did you do

[lavish vortex]

How many loathsome memories does cast run give?

[faint flare]

5

[lavish vortex]

Oooh nice!!

Thanks!

[buoyant coyote]

TY

[crisp pelican]

I hope nothing bad

[quaint halo]

can you do refer a friend after someone has already purchased it ?

[dire prawn]

If they're on their free days yes

[drowsy pagoda]

reølly?

[faint flare]

Yes

[drowsy pagoda]

i purchased it like 2 days ago can i still be referred? lol

[faint flare]

Yes

After registering the game and before paying for the first month sub

[leaden ginkgo]

So if you’re a fresh 80 with AF gear from the role quests, what’s the quickest way to get good enough gear to do the puppet’s bunker? I’m thinking of just beelining to that i520 Nier gear. I’m probably gonna buy a HQ exarchic weapon and right side though.

[faint flare]

Is when you use the code

[faint flare]

Eden

[drowsy pagoda]

what do i gain from that tho?

[faint flare]

You basically bounce between Eden and nier

To gear uo

If you're not shortcutting

• buying stuff with tomes

[leaden ginkgo]

Can you do the bozja gear too?

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok gotcha , does bozja gear take a while to farm? And do you need a certain ilevel to do bozja?

[indigo loom]

could someone explain to me what eureka is? i hear it mentioned a lot but i'm in shadowbringers and have yet to hear of such a thing

[faint flare]

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/friend_recruit/

[jade quartz]

Stormblood side content

[leaden ginkgo]

It seems that bozja gear would let you access puppet’s bunker lol

[faint flare]

Once you hit rank 10 and progress the story you can do castrum for coins to buy the gear

[jade quartz]

Large instanced zones with tough mobs where you do notorious monster FATEs and getting the level 70 relic weapon

[faint flare]

Like 2 or 3 runs gets you a full set

[quaint halo]

any idea where to find the recruit a friend code 😭

[indigo loom]

how do i access it?

[quaint halo]

is the code your game code when you purchased the game ?

[faint flare]

Mogstation > your account

[flint pollen]

be nice to get that and i dont have any one i know that i would invite so ehh

[jade quartz]

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks so much, and what’s the ilevel needed for castrum? I want to do the relic weapon anyway so this seems like it could be more straightforward than bouncing between raid gear

[acoustic thorn]

how long before the 🌱 icon goes away

[faint flare]

There is no ilvl in bojza

You're hard set to 430

As long as you're wearing something

Just remember to use dps essences

At least

ANY essence bare minimum

[jade quartz]

Complete MSQ up to the beginning of Shadowbringers and have over 168 hours playtime

[leaden ginkgo]

Awesome, bozja here I come! I will watch a guide so I can do it properly

[wheat plume]

how long is the reach of /Yell, if I yell in Limsa aetherite, how far does it go?

[acoustic thorn]

ty, 168 seems like a pretty arbitrary number lol

[faint flare]

It's 7 days

[acoustic thorn]

oohh

im stupid

[jade quartz]

7 days

[glacial isle]

so the lvl 56 RDM quest just used ||Stack marker||, is that normal for SB job quests?

using actual mechanics aside from "kill enemies"

[dire prawn]

Yes

Yes it is

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes heavensward and onwsrds job quests have mechanics and whatnot

[amber hornet]

do I have to do something to unlock FC?

[leaden ginkgo]

Silly question but why are certain cooldowns a circle?

Like drill and tsubame

[snow fiber]

I have like 4 quests left in ARR but i am 47 and next quest is 49. Fastest way to powerlevel?

[random girder]

i uh

accidentally triggered the word filter with a typo

[indigo loom]

probably fates and grand company stuff

[coral elk]

for SMN, do Bahamut and Phoenix have the pet scale applied to their potency? Is Akh Morn/Revelation really 650 potency?

[crisp pelican]

Oh I think I did that too a few days ago

[knotty lily]

Because THOSE both have a cooldown and are on the GCD, specifically

[verbal rune]

Dungeon

[faint flare]

Cause they're GCDS with their own Cooldowns

[verbal rune]

Or roulettes

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahhhhhhh

Makes sense

[tender ice]

How long is the time window to join Ocean Fishing when it becomes available on the hour?

[faint flare]

15mins

[tropic condor]

I was wondering if there is a good way to gear up at level 60+ on crafters without spending on the market place? Since i reached 63 WVR and am in need of new main hand and second hand.

[faint flare]

No...you can be invited at lv1

[pale nimbus]

Would there happen to be a good video overview of the game’s endgame content?

[dusty mesa]

hey guys , is there a way to see what class quests I havent done

[prime stump]

Ive been bouncing between what class quest Im on and a list of class quests in order

[leaden ginkgo]

https://i.imgur.com/TZqfw0f.png

what do i disable in log books to make it not repeat twcie

[neat ermine]

How do I unlock The Navel (Hard) and The Howling Eyes Hard

[calm hull]

Is it a bad call to make both my retainers gatherers?

[leaden ginkgo]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Content_Unlock

[prime stump]

[honest anvil]

[leaden ginkgo]

Where do I put code for pre order on mog station

[calm hull]

To add on to my question about if it a bad call to make both my retainers gatherers, can you make your retainers crafters?

[honest anvil]

not necessarily bad and no

[calm hull]

Awesome! TY

[honest anvil]

if you want to continue with your bow and arrows, you gotta be Brd and do brd job quests

alternatively you can level an entirely different job

[prime stump]

I might level arcanist while I have a break in the story

[honest anvil]

ye you can be all jobs so go experiments and see what clicks

[amber hornet]

is there any way I can browse FCs?

[placid fiber]

Any way I can change race?

[amber hornet]

there's a Free Company button on Social but it's greyed out to me

[tender ice]

Fantasia, buy it from the store. You get a free Fantasia when you complete A Realm Reborn.

[glacial isle]

food EXP buffs don't go above 3% right?

[tender ice]

No

[glacial isle]

Thx

[tender ice]

You can stack the time if you eat 2 tho

[knotty karma]

Quick Question: Since my 520 gear have Materia, do i suppose to Retrieve them before exchanging the iL520 with 530 iL?

[knotty lily]

Yes, definitely - you'll lose them if you dont

[placid fiber]

what level does that happen around

[tender ice]

Around 50

[deep badger]

final quest of arr

[tender ice]

^

[placid fiber]

aw

[tender ice]

Which I think is 50 or 59 or something, around there

[deep badger]

50

[knotty karma]

@knotty lily is there a safe way to Retrieve them 100% or just the 40% chance?

[tender ice]

There you go then, 50

[placid fiber]

damn alright

[deep badger]

materia is cheap

[placid fiber]

thats pretty deep in

ty guys

[leaden ginkgo]

anybody know how to do this?

i no longer have the gae bolg

it's been traded many steps ago

i just finished umbrite part

[knotty lily]

40%, good luck! Lots of good ways to get materia now so dont fret

[knotty lily]

Umbrite?? Isnt umbrite for the Heavensward Relic (Anima)? Where that quest you have is for ARR Relic, Zodiac 🤔

[leaden ginkgo]

ooof nvm hahaha got it confused

all good now

was following a diffewrent chain

[tender ice]

is Ocean Fishing only in Limsa?

[wind yarrow]

i just bought the complete edition. i am a level 49 warrior, is there anything different that is going to happen when i play

[tender ice]

No

You will unlock the full game with all of its features - you wont lose anything if thats what you mean

[wind yarrow]

is there anything immediately new going to happen>?

or is it more end game stuff

[dark scarab]

whats the first quests i need to do to start unlocking the nier raids?

[tender ice]

Na you are still on the content thats in the trial, once you get to the end of Heavensward the stuff you bought will 'kick in' i guess

[wind yarrow]

nicee alright tyty

[quaint halo]

have fun tho! i heard heavensward is really really good, have yet to play it tho

[terse grail]

yes

[wind yarrow]

Thanks!

[tender ice]

HW is ma fave

[wind yarrow]

does it continue right after ARR?

[tender ice]

After you do post ARR yeah

[wind yarrow]

would i be max level doing HW?

[terse grail]

after ARR is the post ARR patches (the MSQ for patches 2.1, 2.2, etc all the way to 2.55) this happens after every expac

[tender ice]

You will complete ARR and you will get 'end credits' but theres a post section afterwards

then HW

[wind yarrow]

or should i pick up a new job

[terse grail]

post patch quests give barely any exp, its just to give you some buffer going into the next expac so you dont have to grind dungeons or dailies between msq

[slow isle]

Where do you get dark Knight quests again after Fray goes away?

[tender ice]

You wont be max level no, you will be the level that HW requires you to be

[dark scarab]

you ain't reaching max lvl until the end of shadowbringers (the last expansion so far)

[tender ice]

Which is 60 I think?

[dark scarab]

HW is 50-60

[terse grail]

60 is max level for the free trial

[tender ice]

Yeah

[wind yarrow]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that makes more sense

i seeeee

[tender ice]

Stick to MSQ it will keep you levelled

[wind yarrow]

thanks guys

[slow isle]

Depends on boosts. I was 74 at Stormblood.

[terse grail]

up to you if you want to grab a new job, if you dont wanna waste the heavensward MSQ xp and you manage to hit 60 before entering heavensward

[tender ice]

Same I was overleveled cos my server had boost

[wind yarrow]

wow it feels good to play past expansions

[cosmic pilot]

Same, I was overleveled so I passed quiet a lot of content on SB

[terse grail]

you can check the top left of your screen below the MSQ tracker should have a job quest

[tight spoke]

ShB area.

Whats this?

[deep badger]

an island

[tender ice]

The best soundtrack in the game

[terse grail]

[dire prawn]

An island

[tender ice]

Lol

[tight spoke]

[deep badger]

[tender ice]

[tight spoke]

[terse grail]

[lyric rapids]
