A full duration Miasma does a total of 220 potency
Or near enough
You can use both
Miasma and bio do damage while you're doing other things
And do more damage than Ruin
!skill ruin
is the 30% earring really worth it?
is levelling slow after 50?
ruin and miasma/bio cost the same amount of time to cast
which is one GCD
ruin is 180 damage for one GCD
miasma is 220 damage for one GCD
just spread out over 30 seconds
and yeah that's not counting fester, which does damage based on how many dots you have on your target
for the record, GCD stands for Global Cooldown
it's the 2.5s delay you run into after casting any spell
or weaponskill
not abilities
instant cast spells like bio incur the GCD, so even though it's "instant cast" you still can't cast another spell for 2.5 seconds
miasma happens to have exactly a 2.5 cast time, which is the same as your GCD, so as soon as you cast miasma you can cast another spell
Is there a way I can see what certain races would look like in gear if I don’t have one myself

Make an alt or use a model viewer
can you farm breach coins now from raid more than once a week? duty finder says reward already received
can the preorder 30% earrings be transffered to diff chracters?
nvm ignore that question
It goes to all
oooh
can you farm breach coins now from raid more than once a week? duty finder says reward already received
I answered you
.
oh okay. thank you. i was just hesitating to run it because it still says obtainable weekly on duty finder and reward already received.
How do people make high item level gear? Saw gear that’s way higher than anything my quests have given me so far
Ahh bet
What do I spend my tomes this early ?
I’m near capped n I don’t need any gear on any job rn
thank you!
Ironworks gear at 50
if you are in a FC and there is someone much higher level, they can craft you gear
preemptively start buying gear for other classes
consider having close to 2k tomes banked for when you hit 60 in the MSQ to buy yourself gear right away
but most of the time you don't need to buy any additional gear off the marketboard
it's not necessary since you're locked behind MSQ progress to do anything higher level anyway
does that mean i cant reach floor 50?
oh I bought everything I needed from market board tbh lol
I ended up not having quite enough tomes at lvl 60 so ended up having to get a couple pieces from the marketboard
in that case just wait and farm more tomes
Wait what happens at 60 :/
you don't need that level 60 gear right now
Just gear for GNB & DNC?
you'll be fine picking up a few pieces of gear here and there
60 is a story milestone that unlocks the next set of poetics gear
that's all
same at 70
Oh bet
Can't go to 101+
it doesn't help that marketboard gear in the 50-70 range is horribly overpriced
the "efficient" gearing strategy is to stick with your 130 ironworks gear until around level 55ish MSQ, where the dungeon drops start being better
just use the dungeon drops from 55-60 until you unlock the 60 poetics vendor
buy a full set
rinse and repeat to level 65ish
thx
there is no need to outgear story anyway
Is poetics gear the highest lvl item at that point
it doesn't do you any favors to have level 70 gear on a level 70 character if you are only at story level 55
Like is poetics at lvl80 the highest item level as well?
no, poetics gear stops at level 70
level 80 uses a different tomestone
but yes, at levels 50, 60, and 70 poetics gear is the best gear you can get
Bet
and they last about halfway through to the next expansion, as previously mentioned
I am sitting at *166 right now. level 62 BRD
so ilevel 130, which is the level 50 poetics gear, will last until about level 55 MSQ, where your quest and dungeon rewards start being better
it does you no favors to outgear MSQ
as I mentioned before
so if your MSQ is still level 50 then having 162 gear doesn't really do you anything
For shire
the only way of getting exarchic gear is through crafting or theres a npc to buy them?
we're talking specifically MSQ level, not character level
If you have access to Idyllshire then you can buy shire
I am aware of that
Crafting... OR buying off market board
I am in Heavensward
but you probably are not at the end of heavensward
so what are tomestones of allegory/relevation for exactly?
Gear
which is when you unlock the level 60 poetics vendor
Without spending gil
Not at the end, no.
Allegory can get i490 gear, upgrade Exarchic and buy mats to craft exarchic
Revelation is for 520 gear which can be upped to 530
Most of my gear is ironworks
which is fine, you'll start naturally replacing it around level 55 MSQ
Since I already wasted my Gil and got my avg item level unnecessarily high , do I spend my tomes on gear to donate to GC ? Just enough to not be capped on tomes
pretty sure I am past 55
as mentioned before, start preemptively buying poetics gear for other classes you want to play
poetics are plentiful and can be spent with impunity
nope, guess I misspoke... it's 53
on that same note
don't sell off your poetics gear either
another class is going to use it
so if you bought a full set for, say, archer/bard
keep it for when you level machinist
I am freaking stuck on 53 though
else you're just gonna have to rebuy it back later
got lost.
I was wondering, can I use Class-specific gear, say the RDM sets as glam for say BLU?
I want that armor but blue
no
:(
if it's class restricted then you cannot use it on any other class
is there a website for experimental glamours?
like you can put any armor on a model as a test
and dye it
pretty sure if it is class restricted it won't even let you equip it to another class. it just won't go into the slot.
yes, that's correct
ah
there is a site like that but I forget the name of it
someone linked it to me when I was asking for a way to preview glamours
maybe ask in #glamour-discussion
it wasn't eorzeacollection
What’s the highest GC rank rn?
captain
how can i get glamour prisms?
easiest way is to spend GC seals
What can I buy as a free to play player? I almost reached 300,000 limit. That's why, lol XD
How do I raise my item level? I cant do the next part of a quest because my average item level is under 45
other ways include crafting it (not recommended) or buying from marketboard
thx ^^
what level are you?
is there a lot of endgame content/
i cant access market, im on free trial
49
i recommend going to a DoL/DoH vendor and buying early gear sets for when you inevitably level crafting
GC seals easiest way for free trial
i just bought 270ilvl gear with allegan tomes
Hit 50 and do your job quests for i90 gear
hope i did right choice 😄
You did
yes, that is recommended
just need head right now, spend 2k
I keep getting my ass kicked in my lvl 60 rdm job quest by that douche Lambard. My rdm is lvl 60 but my gear is at 180. Am I too low for this?
Anything that I can like buy multiple of to use alot more faster? Like maybe even 600 of the same items even, lol XD
idk go buy some dyes from a vendor then
whatever dyes
I guess. Well ok, lol XD
Is X-Potion only part of a Expansion?
i don't remember what level X-Potions are but they're pretty useless
like, 99% of the time
certainly not worth gil dumping
!item x-potion
What potion I should buy as a free to play player than?
none
You don't need them
i suggested buying the crafting gear sets for a reason
Not even MP Potion? LolXD
No
it's because they will make your leveling process a lot easier when you do get into crafting
If it's not a stat increasing Potion it's shit
super ether has uses in endgame raid prog
otherwise nah it sucks
no other MP potion is worth considering
How? Isn't it hard to manage MP?
Or do MP go up fast even during combat?
You only run out of MP if you like die or chain raise people
healers have lucid dreaming and their assorted individual tools
RDM and SMN don't use enough MP to care
Or just forget to ever press lucid dreaming ever
!action lucid dreaming
i have a question about how to join a server from ur fc everytime i write in what he posted says not found
!action thin air
BLM regenerates MP with ice phase
!action draw
!action Aetherflow
Stuff like this
What stat increase potion I should get as a free to play player than?
none
none
None for that either? LolXD
Nothing you can buy from vendors
can anyone help me with this
either dump your gil on crafting gear or buy a bunch of dyes you like
Stat pots can only gotten via crafting
So...
I need help with chancing my pvp hotbar
Can I modify them only on the island?
Yes
search for the player's name and apply to the FC that way?
Only on wolves den yes
Only in the den
Second thing is, where do I grab skills from to put em in the second hotbar?
so after lv50 the only way to get new gear is through dungeon drops right?
since i'm way behind on the story
I keep trying to find a usful item I could spend alot of gil on. Come on, lol XD
I would think crafting gear I would buy only one, so I thought it'll be faster to spend gil on a items instead. Lol XD
PvP profile
Ah, I see
I'm blind as a bat
ok let me try that ty renaulte
You don't have to
!faq poetics
!faq tomes

!faq allagan tomes
ok
!faq poetics
It's this
tyty
Well my hand and land isn't high level, so the gears I buy for them shouldn't cost much gil.
I'm only leveling them up through the daily stuff, and just do story for the rest so not high level yet.
So 1 piece per each set is not much, plus I've already got some of the current level gear for alot of them too.
it will easily cost you upwards of 100k to buy 2 sets of crafting gear and tools
should i be buying gear with poetics at level 50? or save for later
and again I said this is for the future
please do
Poetics grow on trees
Heavensward's stat curve is absolutely murder
okok i gotta farm em
You want to be i130
You'll be capped by the time you get to 60
ohhhh yeah i forgot doing hw when i get there
hey does anybody know where you get the samurai armor shown in the stormblood/shadowbringers cinematics?
ok renaulte where do u put a name in to find it sorry for asking dumb questions but don't use discord that much so still learning
Lv70 job gear
where do i go to get like mount speed for these places i feel so slow
player search in your party list
Bicolour gemstone traderd
it's the 4th tab
oh okay thanks
But flying is faster
but doesnt fly speed get controlled by that too?
How does my miner gear look?
oh shit pog
awful, go get some white scrip gear
It's why we say riding maps are basically useless
level 80 gear is around ilevel 500
Hey, anyone mind logging on and adding a friend and I to a party?
sure. dm me.
You naturally pass by all the currents as you do the story
Bet
Just use the compass now and then
Well I can't. If I wait for the future than my gil would surpass the limit, and if I just buy all the gears that I can't use for the future then my inventory will run out. My inventory has alot of items already, just didn't sold them yet cause I don't know which is useful and which isn't useful.
That's why I'm trying to like get a few items that I can buy multiple of, like 600. Lol XD
Try to always quest while spamming the aether compass
then, again, go buy like 100 of a dye you like
Hey I have a very quick question about subscriptions: If I'm a steam player, do I have to pay for my subscription through the Steam payment, or can I just charge my card directly?
You'll end up unlocking flying while never going totally out of ur path
the truth is, you are limited in what you can spend gil on as a free trial player
You can do either
so really just go find ways to dump money

It's an option when picking sub payment
buy a bunch of cheap food so you can maintain your EXP buff
or buy like 1000 gysahl greens
because lord knows you'll eventually use it all
Perfect, just wanted to be sure.
How do I get machinist
or go buy a stack of 200 of a dye color you like
finish ARR and do the quest in Ishgard @hardy scroll
where do you buy them?
lots of vendors
Damn
Why don't people use stat increasing potion either? Like Vit, Strength, etc..
the one I always go to is either in your FC house or the one right next to the aetheryte in limsa
because they're fucking shit at level 79 and under
How long can I wait after buying the game to use the activation key?
or completely unnecessary
What are all the jobs I can get while still in ARR?
Oh I see, lol XD
everything except MCH, AST, DRK, RDM, SAM, GNB, and DNC
So only bad for free to play player than cause the stats isn't as high, lol XD
so i just picked up astroligan and watched a quikc video and they didint mention the car symbols and names just the fatc that blue background is melee and pink is casters and the tiny icons on the top does the names of the cards and icons not matter?
You don't need to remember cards
Arcanist > Scholar/Summoner
Conjurer > White Mage
Thaumaturge > Black Mage
Gladiator > Paladin
Marauder > Warrior
Rogue > Ninja
Pugilist > Monk
Archer > Bard
Lancer > Dragoon
no pots are literally bad/not necessary for ALL players before level 80 endgame raids
free trial or not
Just look at the boarder and the seal it gives
Blue boarder goes to melee
Purple to range
All you need to know
the little icons at the top are important for divination
Thx
Well ok. Thanks pal, lolXD
you need 3 unique icons to get the most out of divination
so when you reroll you're generally rerolling for a different seal
yeah i learned that but im just lvl 30 but i dont have to worry about the different named cards just background and tiny icon right?
The seals/icons will mater after lvl 50 when u get divination. Till then, nope
yes correct
You get the seal icons at 50
I thought it was useful cause I noticed he had 2 potions.
So I was shocked to learn it wasn't useful afterall, lol XD
ah ok nice was scaed it was gonna be overly complecated but aht ezpz also any easy gear i can get on astro rn? i only have the robe and pants they gave me :d
Doing ur class quests should give you some gear, also dungeon drops
i did all the class quests avalible for my lvl when i got the dancer and gunbreaker i got a full set but here i only got like 2 pices of random gray robe
And basic vendor gear in ishgard or main cities
HW jobs only give you chest and legs and weapon
The pain of being the first expansion jobs
wher are these vendors?
Markets in main cities
you can server visit at any time
Is the 12 dollar thing repeatable?
to transfer to another server then you have to pay money
but just visiting can be done at any time with no cost
if you have 2 characters on the same world while being on the entry sub you will only have access to your oldest character
You want to buy DoM gear = disciple of magic
2 retainers is the max you get for free, right?
So stat boost potion is useless til you reach level 80 endgame.
Is HP and MP Potion like that too? Become more useful after reaching level 80 endgame, or is it completely useless the entire time?
Is there a place I can go to augment old ironworks gear?
I see
but most content won't ever need hp/mp potions
although you do have some advocates for mp potions in the circumstance where you're a char that can rez and just got rezzed
someone told you this already. HP/MP potions are almost universally useless. stat boost potions only matter at endgame high end raiding
Ok so I have a question about glamour. So I understand that you put an appearance of one set onto another, but why not just wear the set you think looks better?
you can pop an mp pop to get enough mana without waiting for ticks, but again that's niche
stats
if you're BLM you can super ether for a 4th flare in your AoE rotation
during dungeons
Also, if you are wearing a piece of armor that fits your class, and have a piece of armor that you can't wear due to your class, can you use glamour to make yourself wear that armor?
no
No
Damn
if only
What's a good place to get potions you think as a free to play player?
Maybe won't need it later down the line, but at the moment I doesn't have much health so I keep using whatever potions I get from the quest when my health is low
deep dungeon [palace of the dead]
Glamour puts a copy of a gears look onto another piece of gear
So you don't lose stats
i wouldn't bother spending actual gil on it
Do glamours bind
no, you can change glamour easily
Ok thank you
either with glamour prisms or glamour plates
Well ok
You go there later
me?
Yes
Ctrl space
yes, current is above you on the island
how do i get there xD
You go there later for the story
do more 
But i wanna fly );
Ctrl. Space.
you don't get the final current until you finish the msq in the area
You can't fly without finishing the story
Oh you want current
you wont unlock flying until almost at the end of the Main quests in the map anyway
In the zone
dufuq you mean control space @upper wren
doesnt matteri f you get all aether currents in the map
control space is the hotkey to dive
It's not even a flying island
What’s better for solo: bard or ninja
What’s better for raids. Bard or nin
control space will make you dive after you unlocked it
but the current isn't in the water
Just make a friend and have them fly you around
doesn't matter. doesn't matter.
You can go to it now if you just read your map
play what you find more fun
if you care at all about soloing then WAR, PLD, RDM have an edge over the other classes
which isn't really relevant FYI
Hey 👋. Is there a list of what the beast tribe vendors sell?
And well job quest instances
which falls under story i guess
Anyway. The gear I just shown you all is when I used Yellow Gatherer's Scrips. And I say it's way better than what I had on previously. It may not be the best the game has to offer, but it does get the job done.
||when do i get to visit Ishgard, I killed Shiva, I apprehended the Ivy twice, what else do i have to do to get there ?||
am I doing something wrong or are craftable item drop rates from mobs extremely low? I've killed like 50 Golden Fleece and gotten 4 baskets of snurble tufts
just depends on the item
for some drops, it's honestly easier to just have your retainer go out and gather them for you
Ishgard is opened after finishing ARR
Hey all. I have the steam version of the game, and I am launching through Steam. I can also confirm in Mog Station it shows a Steam account. But, it's showing a message that my server account does not have a valid license.
Weird thing is, I just played like a week ago. Same PC, same Steam, but I uninstalled + reinstalled through steam. Any ideas?
I have a question for sch players. Do I just spam ruin II to keep up my parse or do I do ruin followed by ruin II. I’m only a 52 sch right now
You didn't, she got away
||shiva is 2.4? you're not far||
if you care about parse then you're trying to minimize the number of ruin 2 you cast
did yor sub run out?
if you ruin 2 at all it's usually paired with an energy drain to make up for the lost potency
Ahh ok
New player, so still f2p. And I just logged in like a week-ish ago with no problem
Are you using the trial launcher?
i dont quite understand
I am unsure 😦 How can I tell?
look for the quest Legacy of Allag in Mor Dhona
you have to finish that whole quest line before you can continue
To progress the main scenario you must complete certain quests in the Crystal tower series
i did it once and she escaped from her cell and then i beat her and all of her "allies"
You have to complete the Crystal Tower raids in Mor Dhona
What's the best class for crafting for glamours
Yes
none of them
mor dhona?
oh wait you mean actual glamours, sorry I thought you meant glamour prisms
Yeah
weaver and leatherworker craft a lot of glams
Like I said: Yes
but they require mats from other classes anyway
Well, except cul
where is Mor Dhona
and the majority of glam items are treasure map drops
Ok thank you
LMFAO
Just leave the building
alright
Any good soul wants to trade crappy steam CD keys for a month of sub ? 😄 Won't be able to get the sub activated until the start of next week 😦


No worries. Everyone is just busting your chops 😂
Let's be fair, you kinda earned this one
So there is a free trial launcher as opposed to the Steam launcher?
How was I able to launch via Steam before (even with no sub?)
it do be like that
okay so i am outside
WDYM weird names?
I like my More Dounts and Foot Job
so does the free trial cap you a certain level? And whats the first expansion i should buy after doing the main story?
okay let me see
why do I have 10000MP? Is that normal?
Which one is Foot Job?
capped to level 60, no you're gonna be doing main story for a long time
level 60, and the first expansion is heavensward
Oh ok
seems a bit odd to have 10k mana when I only have 128 HP
So the main story includes raid content?
10k MP is standardized
Extremely late game location called Fort Jobb, usually the starting location of lv 80 hunt trains
depends what you define as "raid content" but yes it does include a decent number of raids
You might have started it, check your quest journal for completed and/or in progress quests
it does not include any endgame raids
I like it
okay let me see
spells get a lot more costly?
I downloaded the trial client here, but still got the same error message ;_; https://freetrial.finalfantasyxiv.com/download/?platform=win&lng=en-us&rgn=na
depends on your class
RDM and SMN barely use mana at all
despite having 10k MP
unless you have to pump outlike 5 rezzes
ummmm
Not raids per se but all the content actually called raids is locked behind story.
There are plenty of story trials which are boss fights
oh right, i just wanted to figure out what my checklist is to say i completed all the content of the base game. So far main story but i heard raids was a big deal to
okay, thanks for answer. I'm Arcanist. I'll just carry on now that i know it's normal 🙂
Look for someone wearing a mask to the left
Arcanist as a summoner doesn't really have mp issues, as a scholar you do have to watch your mp
but scholar has tools to manage mana
He has all the blue quests in the area you can see his minimap
New to the game here, got multiple people from different worlds and data crystals. Two from Aether (Gilgamesh and Siren) and one from Crystal (Balmung). Any advice on managing between these worlds without killing the experience?
"completing" the free trial takes like 200 hours lol
i dont see mask guy
thanks guys, appreciate it. Felt weird to have such an abundance of mana. Shouldn't complain 🙂
most people just get through the main story on the free trial, which is like 60+ hours
ill try google the quest on yt
You’re right. Guess he’ll have to check his journal for the quest then
@tranquil wolf go to complete and check this section
I only need 2k more, how do i get it xD
this?
@tranquil wolf look for a
to the east
do GATE ?
!faq mgpguide

where i am rn?
east on the map
East of mor dhona
Go to the campsite that’s on the east side
You’ll find it there
yeah that area
there is no icon tho
There is
I see it from your screenshot
not on map
There is
which one
The blue one
Jim pointed it out

its leaves
Hmm weird, one sec
yeah lemme double check as well
lol
there sohuld definitely be something for you
It's hiding under it
!quest sanding it down
Just go there
okay let me go see

Ok so just to be clear, if I am a PGL and I want a glamour that is only good for like PLD, I can't use that glamour on an armor thats only good for PGL
Dude you have this one active
No
You just didn't continue it
Glamour is class locked
Alr thank you sorry
yeah you can't glam pld stuff onto monk stuff and vice versa
I wish you could what
Check your journal for the quest
From your own screenshot
so i done it just its next step
yes
i didn't know
alright thanks
then you can proceed with MSQ
You need to finish all this to proceed with your MSQ
wait
godspeed
not curds and slay?
curds and slay is a quest to open hard version of brayflow longstop
standing it down
so no, is not really needed
which neir raid or content was it again that gives me currenct yot buy 530 crpytlurker weapons?
I dont want to do savge
just sanding down
All 3 nier raids
"currency" is hunt trains
how do i participate in a hunt and where are hunt targets?
and does it take a while to get enough nuts to buy weapons?
or is it all rng
The hunt board has your daily hunts
And people conduct hunt trains regularly for A and S ranks. Join centurio hunts discord in #resources
gotcha but are nuts guanrateed to drop
What class is easy to play on a laptop ?
and costs alot to buy
depends what you mean by "laptop"
like, a laptop still has a full keyboard
same as a computer
no class is easier or harder
and if you're limited to a trackpad, well good luck
No I got a mouse I was just wondering what class was less combos to memorize for first timer
easiest classes in the game are generally agreed upon to be RDM, DNC, and WHM
that's red mage, dancer, and white mage specifically
Ty for the help
easiest classes imo at least as a first timer is any of the healers
you'll press 1 heal button on the tank every now and then
and just spam 1 button for dmg
well the only healer you can start as is white mage (conjurer)
astrologian doesn't get unlocked until like 60 hours of playtime
and scholar requires level 30 arcanist, which is a DPS
But wait until after hitting level 60 though. Where you have to spam your heals like crazy.
Believe me. I know.
Only in bardaans
What's the highest item level crafting gear? I'm currently wearing a full set of armor/accessories at 500
Is there a resource that just neatly explains the mechanics of most bosses?
After level 60 and once you get into the Stormblood and Shadowbringers content. The original Cure will not be enough.
YouTube
prefer written source
You dony use cure once you get cure 2
Cure is fucking trash
is there no proper site that archives mechanics of bosses?
You shouldn't be using cure or it's equivalent on other jobs at all once you get cure ii/adlo/aspected benefic
why doess this guy have so much more hp than me? hes only lvl75{hes got 100k max hp ive got 92k}
Saltedxiv only has current content
Only extremes, savages and ultimates
he has better gear
Better gear being synced
You don't need a guide for the other shit you can figure it out
yes
but ive got the ilvl400 gear?
So I just got a quest where i'm supposed to do hard modes of Garuda, Titan and Ifrit, where do I find their hard difficulties, since i can't see them in trial search?
which is low for levle 74
wym?
That's low for level 74
So the same is true for Benefic too. am i right?

Depends
@/vinyl tales
On the target
A rank, s rank, which type of hunting bill
also im lvl76-77 just being lvl sync'd
your level isn't what matters in that case
You gear sync and level sync are separate
yeah i know but i mean why is someone that high lvl still uses ilvl400 gear, and not something better
they were a mechanist
what about puppet coins?
Now if it were low level dungeons, ie, level 30 or below, by all means use tier 1 heals, anything above level 30, tier 1 heals are useless.
they might be levelling through bozja or dailies
do i just need one coin of each to buy 530 gear?
neither of which really gives a shit about item level
Im currently lvling crafter/gatherers, but havent gotten to ishgard yet, should i save my time for ishgard
They don't have better gear for that job
HELL YEA
to buy upgrade mats for the 520 piece, specifically
cryptlurkers?
Yes
yes, it upgrades to 530
It upgrades to 530
but you need the 520 piece to begin with
okay i already have it
yeah that's fine then
The 530 gear you're thinking of is called AUGMENTED Cryptlurker gear
so i should upgrade my gear?
You need a break coin
you need the third coin as well
Breach coin
dang
You'll get more gear from msq
Like always
Also dungeon drops
scaevan is absolutely fine at 74, but you'll start upgrading basically now
is 520 crptlurker gear better than 520 exarch gear?
depends on substats/class
because i have the full 520 crpytlurker armour set now
You'll get better gear soon
sweet
and if they are, i can materia the crptlurker isntead
yeah, you'll start getting better gear soon
And you'll be getting better gear as time progresses
scaevan is, again, absolutely fine for 74
Some do some don't
Is Pyramid Schemes outlawed in Final Fantasy?
I wonder if you can set up a Virtual Pyramid Scheme, No real world money, all gill but as a stupid thought to make passive income in the game
lots of boss attacks don't have cast times
Especially early
How do you know when that attack is coming?
Can someone explain me the difference between the Collectors and Standard Edition for preordering Endwalker?
And how do people figure out the name of it?
Collectors has additional items
collectors comes with some extra goodies
But for level 75 or above. Scaevan would also be useless. As myself found out the hard way
fair enough but again, im not level 74. im level 76
One has minion mount and glamour item
Your own level does not matter
Cause the flying text of your damage receive tells you when you get hit
your actual level does not matter at all if your msq level is below that
Only your msq level matters
your character might say "76" but all the content you're doing is synced down to 74
whats the glamour item?
For example the ShB collectors edition includes squalls gunblade from ff8
:ooo thats cool
And then there's sb ce with the joke rapier

Joke rapier?
Chocobo rapier
ohh okay
!iglam chicken knife
Does anyone have the link to Syncademy discord? The link on the fellowship is out of date
How do you level up your chocobo? Is it just through it fighting along side of you?
Yes
common ways to level your chocobo include doing treasure maps or your weekly challenge log
in addition to just farming fates while doing something else, like your relic weapon
Can I still join other people's msq individual instance?
No
Nice, ty
It's a called a solo instance for a reason
Ohh didn't know it was called that lol
Raise the quality while crafting
Hello nice ppl ! i was looking to buy something on the FF14 store for in game emote and stuff like that cause its on sale but when i get to the checkout i dont see any taxes (i am in Canada) so can someone confirm that theres no taxes for Canadians?
I have found all aether currents but cant find the last 2 quests in sea of clouds. Are they locked behind limitless blue?
Use touch actions to increase quality.
Once is via story, other is a blue quest for that's probably in ishgard
for DRK what stats should i put these into, this is for anima weapon
or it shouldnt matter since these weapons are purely for aesthetics?
You're only gonna be using it for glam so it doesn't matter
Doesn't matter really
ah ok
Cause it's just glam
Crit and det I guess
Flex with tenacity and speed
sort of want to speedrun so i can get my glam sword 

Unless you somehow have 20k poetics in your pocket you'll be there a while
would that be the best way to obtain crystal sand?
or is that for umbrite?
Umbrite
o
gotcha
what is the difference between a gear is ornated and unornated? if u get what im saying
5 materia slots
Ronate has 5 melding slots
thats the only difference?
Yes
yeah ornate stuff is not worth getting at this current time
at least for the stuff available as ornate
im currently scholar (lvl 43) and i started off as arcanist, how come when i get exp it says "gained x arcanist exp"
because arcanist exp = scholar exp
scholar and summoner's base class is arcanist
so when you earn EXP it applies to both scholar and summoner
well
that doesnt affect anything
you won't unlock astro for a long time
you don't just get access to astro when you hit 50
have been waiting for age's for these two to pop up and neither of them have, is it just bad luck ?
you have to enter heavensward, which can take up to 60 hours of gameplay
and AST starts at level 30 despite requiring heavensward
is there a list with the best damage classes ?
oh shit fr?
yea
for the leve, you may have to do some other leve first before it shows up in the leve list
i just did them all :(
for the fate, it might be part of a fate chain that you have to do in order before it shows up
heavenward jobs are a bit odd in that they start 30 below the level cap
the rest start 20 below
is there a way to get a health bar up for my pet?
gotcha didn't know there was a fate chain
!faq meta
Bite me
if you want to see precise damage differences check fflogs
otherwise it's very small inbetween for most classes
Your pet doesn't have health
After defeating the (heavy HW spoilers) ||Archbishop and seeing Estinien turn into Nidhogg,|| how much longer until Stormblood? Is it like post ARR stuff?
it's not nearly as long as post ARR
Like post arr
a few dozen quests
but it's still a significant amount of story before stormblood
Except it has direction and isn't as long
i see, thx
a bit shorter than post arr but still long
It is significantly better than arr patches
oh. damn, i'm a noob 🙂 Thanks. The heal's for me then
gonna go ahead and buy the game now i guess.
If i buy the complete collectors edition, do i still need the starter edition?
what's the quickest way to level alternate jobs?
!faq buy
Depends
TY
!faq altlvlguide
where can i use allegory tomes?
eulmore
eulmore vendor only takes revelation
oh oh yeah
How deep into the msq is heavenward content? Like what level?
hw and stormblood had 3 different tome tiers as well?
51-60
Yes
They're always 3 tiers of gear
As new tiers come every major even patch
Ahh ok I'm kinda close then actually, I think my msq is level 42 or something
X.0, X.2 and X.4
you're not
There's 80 lv50 questd to do before heavensward
Oh
it's infamous that level 50 has a TON of quests before level 51
which is why i said 60 hours ish
It's much more than just level
i cant get the right attributes for adventurer squadron mission there is always 1 attribute thats too little and im at cap i dont understand
so where is basic tome gear for sb?
Rhalgars
how do i progress the satasha duty finder thing? been waiting for 30 mins still nothing
Or kugane sundry splendors or
i doubt he has 430 gear so nvm
I400 for stormblood
From the way transmog works, will it be possible to make my endgame dragoon set, whatever that may be, look like dark priest robes?
Allegory gets i490
what does most dmg between ranged and melee LB?
No
D:
Melee on single target. Ranged on 2+
My cosplay us already been killed
pls respond
It's just a matter of balance
usually I just send them out regardless if the stat difference isn't too big
i cant get it right
can't do much about it
is it possible to write a macro to use a pot and ogcd with one button press?
you don't want to do that to begin with
You could get it right if you calculate the stats ¯_(ツ)_/¯
i got close
incoming hoard of people telling you why combat macros are bad
but tldr don't use macros for combat
!faq macro
Ughhh
except in extremely niche situations generally relating to targeting
it's not here :(
!faq macrogcd
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:

There ya go
Limitless blue not recommended as black mage lmao
well to be more specific
you can
if you can find a "dark priest" lookalike set that applies for all classes
Not very easy to find tho
you can't glam white mage or other healer robes onto dragoon but you can certainly glam vanity sets
they sell one in mog station
y'shtola's shadowbringers outfit is dark priesty
or the blackbosom dress i guess?
Hi, anyone got a link which shows all the mats needed for zodiac weapon?
i have main astro lvl 80 geared, and GB lvl 62, when i can get the relic weapon?
GNB only has an 80 relic
Astro has a heavensward, stormblood and shadowbringers relic
So youre saying theres a chance....
Pots have longer animation lock anyways so you'll clip trying to double weave on a pot window
just browse sets that apply for all classes
again, you can't glam class specific gear (like gear that only WHMs can use) onto other classes
but you can glam anything else over whatever else
Thank you!
Yes
ok ty
Is that the void ark?
What’s the drop rate of 2b’s coffer? Is it frequent?
it's 300%
as in the raid drops 3 of them every clear
looks like it
Oh damn
So 600%
not guaranteed
If you win the roll
If you roll high enough
In*
you still haev to win th eroll
Just need to roll for it.
On 1 of the two coffers
Ah okay
Most people would have it already tho I assume
yes but that doesn't stop braindead ppl from rolling anyway
i know i've rolled on accident before
Should i click need or greed on it
||damn Varius zos galvus reminds me of denathrius from wow || HW
Does anyone know if i get my lancer to 30 then make them a dragoon and i get my dragoon to 50 (having beat the game) will that allow me to get the blue mage?
need
always 100% need on something that you want
Yes
You can be every job
if you greed when need is available then you may as well have just passed
Thx
You can't lock yourself out of content
because it's the best game ever
I was more worried that id have to get the lancer to 50 to get the blue mage
camping plots isn't the best game ever tho 
Lancer IS dragoon
Classes are baby versions of their respective job
Your guilds are kinda like your clubhouses

But blue mage says a lvl 50 disciple of war or magic so i wasnt sure if dragoon was still a disciple of war
when you get your soul crystal, you graduate and get thrown into the real world
disciple of ear 
Can you trade Gil with people from other worlds in your data center?
It just means "get 1 job to 50"
Ok ty
Yes you can trade with world visit
Yes
You need to meet them in person tho
