Yes
Oof. That's gonna be rough for me
Hard modes aren't hard
Hard modes are easy
They're just 8man versions of the fight
how do you unlock the ananta beast tribe? I completed msq and the two req. side quests but no quest popped up
Extremes are the difficult versions
I read the mechanics overview of Ifrit Hard and that Hellfire phase seems pretty fucking scary. Does tank also dps the nails?
Yeah hard is a totally bizarre and misleading naming convention
Yes
One spawns under ifirit
is level sync a good thing?
So you can hit it
Not scary, you don’t need a guide
or if its not can i disable it?
I find the people in Crystal to be friendlier, more new player friendly, and more helpful and willing to be of assistance to new players, in my opinion. My FC is on Crystal in Goblin.
Ifrit hard is balanced for like item level 60
You're fine
Yes, so low level people aren't fucked cause no one is.in low level dungeons
It’s how the game works
check the quests I'm about to link in #kupo-bot-spam and tell me if there's a
at either spot
It’s a core mechanic of the game. You can unsync but it’s not viable unless you outlevel the dungeon by a lot
oh i see. So only good to disable at high lvl
Unsyncing prevents exp and Gil gain
Current Level cap raids don't sync you
Oh ok, I'll do Hard modes when I get full Ironworks anyway
Thr hard tag literally means nothing
Do I need to beat Extremes to unlock Odin?
They’re casual difficulty just like everything else you’ve done
It's only for soloing/taking on old content at a higher level than it was made. It can't be used with duty finder and removes 90% of rewards
No
No
Guys
You got a full set of item level 90 armor from your level 50 job quest, you'll be fine
so when im doing dungeons to level up do i need it enabled?
Yes
Yes
If you unsync you will enter solo
It disables matchmaking
How do you manage to fight without looking at the hotbar?
For example i’m a gunbreaker and i have so much stuff to press that i just can’t see what ability will the boss cast etc
ah
Hard work and determination
Because im mostly looking at the hotbar
By getting your rotation into muscle memory
Practice and muscle memory
Go hit a striking dummy for a few hours
There's probably a git gud joke to be made but it really is just getting good at playing the game
It's not really the question of gear but time. Management fucked my work schedule which fucked my sleep schedule so I have limited time to play so for now I'm focusing on running my daily Castrum Meridianum roulette and Hildibrand quests
Bruh, skip the castrum roulette
They take under five minutes
They take no time at all
You don't need it
With 7 other ironworks people they get destroyed
Just playing msq and doing its dungeons and the trials will get you plenty of tomes
Also crystal tower will give tomes and that's mandatory too
i hit level 30 as a rogue, how do you unlock ninja?
Follow your class quest
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
You also have the first timer bonus
Fuck you phone, stop sabotaging me
thx
But those 500 tomes and Torn from Heaven are so hard to pass up
I mean it's neat but it's also a literal hour if you get prae
And it’s a 50/50 chance
You also don't get to hear torn from heaven in castrum iirc
So you’re going to get Prae eventually
B-but SuCh DeVaStAtIoN
Oh, no I'm thinking of the other one
cant stun bosses>
You'll cause tons of devastation later levelling alt jobs. But atm this is mostly just gonna over level you
I thought it plays when ||Cid is riding a Reaper mech||
Correct, you can interrupt some of their attacks though
And you won't even get most of your level 50+ skills til you're in heavensward anyways
I was thinking of The Makers Ruin
How much do full sets of Shire gear cost?
Over 2k poetics
what do i do to level gathering lvl 50 to 80
Ishgard resto, leves, job quests, custom deliveries
Hey, I'm doing the resistance Relic weapon quest 'A new path of resistance.' Now that they update updated how many Artifacts you get from the Delubrum raid, is it worth doing that or PotD still?
3 from delubrum
Dr is the best way for timeworns
It was questionable before, now 100% dr
Delubrum is always better than POTD unless you go past 100 as a fixed group
Unless you happen to be leveling an alt
Nah, no alt. I'm on my main. Thanks bois :)
Even then an average Dr is 45 mins so unless you're clearing 10 floors in less than 15 mins and getting a timeworn every time...
join speedrun groups in PF
can clear in 20 minutes or so
15 with a very good group
See that makes potd even worse even if you're going past 100
The real pro gamer move is absolutely dr apeedruns in PF yeah
Supposedly 4k and some change just like Ironworks and Scaevan
Poetics gear costs don't change
is there suppposed to be voice acting with every scene like this
It's always 600 for the weapon no matter what elevel it is
No
And even in arr there's even less voice acting
Voice work in ARR is mostly rare
Most of the time theres no va
i saw voice acting like 30-40 min ago then changed language havent gotten another one yet lol
That's what I meant.
By shb most of those cutscenes are voiced though
How are people making their weapons glowing ?
most
They just have glowing weapons
If a weapon has a glow it appears when you unsheathe jt
Glows are part of the models, although they don't show when sheathed unless you use a bug
Even my fishing rod glows
Primal weapons glow if it’s the crafted variant, higher tier relics glow
💪
I'll never understand why they couldn't/wouldn't voice Meridianum
ok thanks folks
Because arr
Arrs development cycle is the stuff of legends
Any inventory management tips for people just starting the game. Most of the guides seem to be based around people at end game, not new players with one job.
if the item has a listed "Shop Selling Price" that's below 100 gil, it's probably worthless and not worth selling on the marketboard or holding on to.
If you’re not gonna get into crafting, you can dump crafting materials you get
Is low level gear worth keeping for glamor?
if you like it sure
do you like the look of it? if so yes go throw it in your glamour dresser
You can just reobtain it
if not, toss it
Cool. Thanks!
how do I turn-off other character pet names? I got the character names out but no luck on this one
Moko Grass how do i find it

Hello, I always heard of hunt trains but never did one, where should I go to join one?
finally found it under NPCs XD thanks! I can finally enjoy the city ambiance more
A) you can buy it in lisma, uldah, or grid
B) gather it yourself
how do i gather it

When you get the free marriage plan, do you actually need to go through with the marriage, Sanctum and cutscene and all, before you get the hairstyle and the emote?

What MSQ do I have to reach to unlock DRK?
The one where you arrive in ishgard. Like one or two quests into HW
How do you change the blade weapons stats?

Thanks a lot
Omega 12 savage

i think its a quest from curuous george?
the skills guy doesnt have a new quest for me
or do i need to do more msq?
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
what tab would it be in
they're all "weathered" whatever
gotcha ty
is chocobo raising important for later on?
Not at all
I think the first alliance raids are at 50, if I remember correctly. I am at 53 in MSQ, char level 62 and have done the first set of alliance raids. They were either right at the tail end of the patches between ARR and HW or right at the beginning of HW, I can't quite recall.
Raids are "endgame" content for each expansion. They appear between the X.1 and X.5 patches for each expansion.
In ARR you have Crystal Tower (Alliance raid) and Binding Coils of Bahamut (Normal raid). HW is Void Ark (Alliance raid) and Alexander (Normal raid). SB is Return to Ivalice (Alliance raid) and Omega (Normal raid). Shadowbringers is YorHa (Alliance raid) and Eden (Normal raid).
whats the command
What are you trying to do Xeyr?
!faq mogstation
yes thats the one! thank you
Do it in #kupo-bot-spam next time, okay?
If you’re using faqs just for your own personal use then please use #kupo-bot-spam
@heavy tiger for reference you can also
!faq search xyz
hey guys, i want to farm Potsherds in Palace of the dead but im not really sure how. can i spam floor 50?
You can spam 51-60 like everyone does for leveling.
You can get from bronze chests, and ones guaranteed from floor 100
ooooh
how do i repeat floors?
thanks ^^
Reset your save.
and start from 1 lvl?
do you guys think its worth preodering the expansion since its on sale and needed eventually anyways?
mainly the earring and 30% bonus exp
No, if you've reached floor 51, you can always restart from there.
You can start at floor 51-60
can you disable clicking on party members in combat for targeting?
Up to you but preorder also gets you early access
i just cleared level 60. so if i reset progress now, i will start from 50?
Unless you somehow didn’t do the blue quests
51
It will give you the option to start from either floor 1 or floor 51.
You get the option to start from 1 or 51 once you start a new "save file"

What did he do wrong here?
apparently you get an exp bonus by logging out in a safe area, where do i see this buff?
@warm snow thank you ^^
@hasty turtle if you see a moon at the end of your exp bar, you're in a "sanctuary"
Just set a button for the mouse filter and you should be good to go
oh, thank you guys. so just spam 50-60 floors and that should do for farming right?
Which option to increase boss’ dialogue text?
i figured that out, but where do you actually see the buff you got?
He pointed the big fuck off cc cleave at the rest of the party
@hasty turtle the shadowed exp bar is the bonus exp
If you see a moon next to your xp bar, you'll accumulate "rested" xp, which appears as a green or gold shade on your xp bar when you log in.
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
wdym?
There's a hold button that literally filters what types of targets your mouse can click
Its in keybinds somewhere. its a mess.
so the yellowed exp bar means that i will obtain that exp faster?
how did he die though
@hasty turtle the faded one yes, until to that point
Cruise chaser spawns behind you to cleave then dash at the next player. He turned around accidently and cleaved everyone, giving people a vulnerablity that proceeds to kill then
It means that until that shaded bar is consumed, you'll gain 100% increased xp from killing enemies.
Yes
The only xp bonus that applies to quest xp is the Road to 70 buff on Preferred servers.
does rested exp + the 30% earrings exp stack?
yes
ah perfect, thank you
But all xp buffs stack with each other, so you can theoretically have up to something like 327% bonus xp.
oh no way
Not including chain bonus.
Chain bonus is negligible since you only get it from overworld mobs
Which option to increase boss’ dialogue text?
hmm I see, but why did he also die there?
Road to 70 + Armory + rested + food + preorder earring + Brand New Ring + Friendship Circlet
ah
right click on the text box
As soon as he cleaved the party he stopped doing mechs cuz they were fucked anyways
Even the top one?
probably not
too bad there is not a mac version.
How do I unlock being able to do the hunts at the hunt board?
Yeah not sure abt that one too :/
Grand company rank up
I'm chief Sargeant and lvl 55. Still can't do any
!faq hunts
What rank do I need?
'How do I unlock Hunts?'
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.
HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.
SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.
SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.
2nd lieutenant
is getting housing from epicnpc online shops a good idea?
That's a terrible fucking idea
They can't control who gets a house
No one can
except gms but I digress
Just the name sounds sketchy
they are botters selling houses. But i am desperate for a house
Can I increase the ui if auto translate menu?
is doing MSQ enough for me to unlock retainers? I have airshipped to the other 2 cities and this retainer pimp still won't let me get one.. 😦
If yoy don't have a house that a fucking easy scam
Yes, lv17 msq
ok, just a bit more then... ty
i do not own a house as of now, but my FC desperately needs one now
just gonna say that 1. no you shouldn't do that and 2. this isn't the place to ask about it
we don't even have a private place to gather
i'm lv52 and i've barely done any fates
nor leve quests
is there any point to doing them?
that's for your alt jobs
i've been focusing main quest
Leves are for crafters and gathering
So, is it possible to start the main story and every side quest over again from the beginning, but with the class I actually want?
Timed boss dialogue can’t be resized/enlarged?
No
Sorry to barge in. Was just curious if anyone in here is a high level armorer
I need a specific item crafted in HQ
is there a keyboard shortcut to skip dialogue
or skip all of it at once
or do i have to click
you can bind "confirm" under system
Escape
can use it to skip dialogue, but also interact with nearby npcs
are there any bonuses for being in "guild"?
Can we increase the size of auto translate ui ?
Whatever buffs they're running today
Any tips for finding my way around better i always get lost so i have to then use my few sigils to teleport back D:
default key is 0 on the numpad @inland bluff
nope by default it's bound to some remote key
i bound it to X
oh i should probably try to find some guild then
is there some section where newbies like me can look for a guild?
!faq communityfinder
also does the guild have to be on Odin server as me or just light eu in general?
Same server
you can't join guilds on free trial right?
Yup
i guess i should've joined Lich server everything is on Lich
idk what is the difference between "free company" and "Cross-world Linkshell"
ty btw
so i cant join a guild unless i own the game?
I'm planning on moving from a na server to eu, anyone know what gets less queue times out of spriggan/twintania?
Correct
Making an alt and I'll prob use a skip; does the skip do just the msq or blue quests as well?
Just the story
what about fates?
they gave good exp when i was like sub lv10
Hey guys what are these red quests i see them everywhere
hi having a hard time trying to understand this concept of:
-1015 for 2.43 GCD
-1117 for 2.42 GCD
-1218 for 2.41 GCD
-1320 for 2.40 GCD
-1421 for 2.39 GCD
-1523 for 2.38 GCD
-1624 for 2.37 GCD
-1726 for 2.36 GCD
-1827 for 2.35 GCD
this is for sks
what do you search for on the marketboard to find mounts?
it means you don't meet requirements for that quest
if you talk to the person it'll tell you what you're missing
Where can I go to see all weapons models? Ideally by job
when choosing quest reward if there isnt any good item should i just pick the sack with gils or is there some reason to pick meh items? like dismantle or something
there's desynthesis if you have leveled up crafters, but you don't really have to worry about it
the gil reward will sell for more
is it worth doing ARR beasttribes if I don't really like the mounts except for one?
how much CH is good for DRK
question, how much does an appartment cost?
500k
dam
It's up to you really. The ARR allied quest chain gives you a glamour mask to use.
as much as possible while hitting your preferred gcd tier
so free trials can't get appartments then
well this is how much i currently have
what's your gcd? I don't have the sks tiers handy (and forgot the kupo command
)
anything between 2.4 and 2.43 is okay
-1015 for 2.43 GCD
-1117 for 2.42 GCD
-1218 for 2.41 GCD
-1320 for 2.40 GCD
-1421 for 2.39 GCD
-1523 for 2.38 GCD
-1624 for 2.37 GCD
-1726 for 2.36 GCD
-1827 for 2.35 GCD
What could i spend poetics on once I bought all the sets (50,60) and havent unlocked the 70 sets yet? Im capped and it feels kinda bad to waste em
its around ~2.40
hey, just be be sure, is there a way to see all characters from a friends account? on every server?
then you're good
so i should put the rest of my meld materia into CH?
exactly
well at least until you have a nice sks
when can i get a mount?
!faq mount
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
actually, just to correct myself, crit is even more important than the comfy sks
ah yea i was reading the faq page on drk melds
but getting that sks is still important
!faq drkmeld
!faq drkmelds
Current meld priorities
Comfy SkS > Crit > DH > Det
Because of the extreme abundance of crit on current BiS savage/tome gear, crit now beats DH by a very tiny margin in BiS gear. Until you have close to BiS gear, DH is likely still going to be the best and would take priority over crit. If you also play a lot of WAR, meld DET over DH. WAR loses much more from melding DH than DRK does melding DET.
What is Comfy SkS?
Anything that lets you hit 5 GCDs in Blood Weapon and 5 GCDs in Delirium. Fights' downtime/mechanics and player preference also dictate what is comfy for them.
-1015 for 2.43 GCD
-1117 for 2.42 GCD
-1218 for 2.41 GCD
-1320 for 2.40 GCD
-1421 for 2.39 GCD
-1523 for 2.38 GCD
-1624 for 2.37 GCD
-1726 for 2.36 GCD
-1827 for 2.35 GCD
It seems the only way to increase auto translate ui is from system config? Which increase all UI size
it's slightly outdated as far as I can see
just in terms of priority
no big deal though, as long as your gcd is 2.40-2.43
whats the best rp world for like mostly rp? i hear balmung and mateus, but is one more rp-like or more populated or something?
sweet
actually just checking up on the balance there even is a BiS list for 2.38
what does white + mean?
!faq dye icon
so what does the red one mean?
welp, we both failed 
just the colour its glamoureD?
It can't be dyed
Should I be worried about anything like having my hot bar good and rotations as a lvl 37 ninja?
i havent hit lvl80 and all that, so im just making do with what i got currently
!faq dyeicons
There
then don't bother tbh
before lvl 80 it does not matter at all
and once you do hit 80 refer to the balance for up to date information
!faq balance

how do I send auto-translated words?
press TAB while typing
works like auto correct basically
of course the dictionary is limited but it stil has a ton
ahh k ty
Journal gives exactly 50% of the exp bar, right?
if you mean wondrous tails then yeah
not sure if it's exactly 50% but it's about that
Yeah, that
I'm level 43 but I still have some level 28/30 weapon/armor, where do I get better ones?
just keep doing the main story
it will keep you geared for whatever content it throws at you and once you hit 50 you can buy ironworks
!faq poetics
As a tank even the MSQ dungeons are very hard since I take A LOT of damage
you shouldn't tbh, unless you're doing big pulls and are not rotating your cooldowns correctly
which job?
I just did The Stone Virgil and I couldn't pull more than 2-3 enemies
if you do, you should try to find better gear
I'm a warrior
I mean there is always vendor gear
not great (and overpriced) but probably better than what you have
Remember job gears and weapon coffers story gives you
yeah, your next job quest at 45 will give you gear for head,leg,feet and hand slots
That's actually something, I always forget about those
Stone Vigil is also something of a difficulty spike.
very balanced
If you're going in for the first time, it's going to be a lot harder on you than it will be on someone who's synced down because they're actually level 73.
Nice, I will surely be level 45 before the next dungeon/trial so I'll wait for that
Also I have lvl 40 coffer that I didn't remember getting, that was stupid of me
yeah then you should be fine
remember that once you hit lvl 50 you get your job set from your job quests
It was pretty hard yeah, compared to the previous ones especially (which were easy enough)
and once you complete the 2.0 main story start saving up poetics for ironworks gear (ilvl 130)
Got it, I still have no idea how high level gear works but I'll save poetics
how come any name I put in for my retainer is unavailible do every player in game have to have unique retainer name
Yes
Every expansion has at least one dungeon where suddenly you need better gear because it's a massive spike in difficulty. ARR has about three, but for HW it's the level 57 dungeon, SB it's the level 65 one, and ShB it's the level 73 dungeon.
thats insane
I see, and how do people get better gear in that case?
Depends on the expansion. For HW, you can farm the level 55 dungeon for gear, SB and ShB you just sort of cope if you're already in Augmented poetics gear.
Well bear in mind it's not a case of "you can't get anywhere without it" as much as it's a wake up call. You can still finish the dungeons but you're not steamrolling them like before.
Part of dealing with the difficulty spike dungeons is knowing your role and modifying your pulls appropriately.
I see
So if you're the tank, instead of going w2w, you might drop to only pulling one or two packs until you have better gear instead.
If you're the healer, you might do less dps and focus on healing more.
Yeah perfect
That what I did for Stone Vigil actually, I just pulled 2 packs max (else I would've died lol)
when can i level further in grand company?
What's your current rank?
what's your rank?
||am i suppose to stand here and wait?||
how do you add more cosmetics around your head? = I got the horns which were a glam for my helmet, do i buy other cosmetics for other parts and attach as glams?

Your own squad of soldiers basically. You manage them, send them on missions, lead some yourself
Hi guys, new to the game (Gladiator) and just MMOs in general (I'm on the free trial). On dungeons, should I keep spamming and only using Total Eclipse (the AoE one) whenever there are multiple mobs, or I can just use it once and then use the go-to Fast Blade + Riot Blade single target combo?
how do i initiate them?
there should be a
in your GC headquarters
Always aoe at 2+ for tanks
Squadron and Commander (<insert your GC>)
Yes. If you have multiple targets you can just spam your AoE.
i must have already done it
Hi everyone! for the first time since I started playing about a year and a half ago, I've finished all the available MSQ. Loved all of it but now I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of options for what to do now that the MSQ is over for now... what are some things I should be working on next?
Depends on what kinds of things you're interested in.
Alright I'll keep doing that, thanks! Just had my 1st dungeon (the pirates one); it was pretty overwhelming to be honest. So many stuff happening onscreen, I wasn't even sure if the mobs were attacking me instead of my teammates.
At higher levels you'll get more buttons for your AoE combo. You can check your aggro list at the bottom left side of your screen to see if things are attacking you.
should i prioritise class quests or main story quests?
Yes
Red circle = aggroed to you, Green circle = aggroed to someone else.
i never know which to do first
Class quests when they're available.
ok ty
Because it's classified as quick unlock like the chocoporters. It's not a proper quest.
I'm thinking that for now I aim for unlocks? raids/trials. Is there a raid attached to progress in BSF?
Is there a guide for current resistance weapons?
Technically ivalice raids
Yes, sort of? There's Castrum Lactus Lictore available in Bozja at R10, and Delubrium Reginae at R15.
!faq msqtracker
And I think Zadnor has one too?
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
This should cover everything you NEED
how do I send my retainer on venture? it looks like I can only use her as bank or sell
so i decided to start the redmage adventure but the quest "taking the red" is not in Ul Dah. anyone know why? i have a lvl 80
ok thanks. I manged to get a relic weapon but didn't unlock all of the areas or ranks
Have to give her a job via equipment first
At current the only raid that is required for progression is the Crystal Tower Alliance Raid. The Return to Ivalice Alliance raid is required for the current relic weapons but not for progression.
You'll need to do one of the unlock quests for ventures located near the main aetherytes in the main cities. They're 
what happens if I queue for a duty then switch to DoL while waiting?
It's in the market.
Nothing
Are you looking in the correct place? And make sure you didn't already pick it up
You have to switch back when the queue pops
You'll have to switch back to actually join the duty though
@raven sage @open coral I have not picked it up and i am currently standing in the location the npc is supposed to be in
err any idea what it is called
A) uldah has multiple areas
B) you need to own stormblood
Can you show us a screenshot of your map?
Is there a guide for current resistance weapons? Does it unlock a trial/raid?
So we can see where you are?
Technically unlocks memorial ex
Do Ivalice, do SHB, lv80 quest in Kugane, it's a fairly straightforward questline
ok... so the queue will still work OK but I just have to switch back before pressing Commence?
You'll need msq up to 5.3 complete
Yup
gotcha ty
5.4 for zadnor but idt there's a requirement for BSF
I can only have 2 retainer atm. is there a way to unlock more?
Irl money
Afaik Zadnor is only 5.3 and bsf is 5.1
oh whats the max you can buy
Zadnor is 5.4 because it references a certain discovery
I’m still on the 1st phase(?) where it ask us to gather materials from some FATEs but I heard we can get those materials from resistance quests?
@open coral
You're correct I just double checked
You need the 3x20 memories? Yeah you can get those in BSF or HW fates
That's step 2
Okay. Can you show me your Completed quests in your Journal under "Disciple of Magic Job Quests", please?
That's what I'm trying to confirm right now, Kat. 🙂
can you actually go to that section of ul'dah
That's where they are, Kael
Yeah. In BSF it’s all peeps to themselves right? Unlike when in party where some peeps will heal and such
Oh yeah, he's still in the uldah plaza
They are in the steps of nald
See minimap top right
the red mage quest is in the steps of thal
Party finder
In BSF you want to party up via shout chat, since it makes fate trains and CEs easier. You can solo, but eh
Still in the plaza
http://puu.sh/HZKVe/f2789c3c5e.jpg what does this timer mean? if we don't beat the dungeon we get kicked out?
Yeah
But it's 70 minutes if you can't beat a dungeon by then I don't know what to tell you
This one is combat jobs only
Some people use pf for certain ocean fishing achievements
You're given way more than enough time to beat the instance. You pretty much only time out if you are straight up unable to complete the dungeon because of gear, afk or mechanic issues
And your on progress quests?
wait so the first one crafters and gatherers can join?
You only showed the completed quests
progress for what? he asked for the completed
Since I am stuck on lvl 70 because i am waiting for square enix’s support to give me shadowbringer, what should I do rn
it looks like you probably picked up and did "taking the red" but are on "the crimson duelist" which is in central thanalan
Farm dungeons’ currency?
basically,
top: any class / even doh/dol
bottom: any job or role that is dps/healer/tank, no indication of which class is locked though
Its been over a day and daily reset has happened, but my daily beast tribe pixie quests arent there?
Can you open your job stone armory and show us what you have in there?
since the "completed" section you showed was for the class quests, not the job quests
Not your set list, but your actual existing job stones.
@open coral i sent a SS of my current acquired jobe in my Character menu
No, you sent a ss of your sets, not your job stones.
Two different things.
oh umm
does party finder automatically make it unsynced when recruiting?
No
or do i have to check something off?
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
do i also check it off in party recruiter?
the "undersized party" option?
relogging now maybe 3rd time is a charm
ye, so people know you're intending to do it unsync
ah thanks
Can you also show us the Disciple of Magic Job Quests category in your quest journal? You showed us the class quests category, which is different.
ok sec relaunching the game
anyone know what he means by an ultimate? https://i.imgur.com/5lON0vm.png
The ultimate fights
do we need skysteel tools or do they get replaced by 490 tools?
Ultimate raids, by far the hardest content in the game
Hardest content in the games
Ucob, uwu and TEA
UwU, TEA, and UCoB
Is ocean fishing better for leveling fishing up than normal fishing?
Yes, by far. You also get scrips
yes
Yes, always do it every 2 houes
Yes
idefk what ultimate fights are where can i see info on it
Nice, and how do i know when i can do it
There are three fights right now that are marked as Ultimate difficulty. Cannot unsynch, multi-phase fights where you have to bring your A-game.
Every two hours, I think in the hours that open tournament isn't held
so these?
from what I see people are using ilvl 490 over 500 items now, what about the skysteel tools are they also replaced? or are they required and better than the rest?
is there any info anywhere in game that shows i can join it?
Yes
Those are them.
Ultimate is basically a bunch of savage raidbosses chained together but half the stuff doesn't have a cast time and one minor mistake wipes you
It's a code, and yes. It will not expire.
lovely. xD ~hasnt eve ndone a savage~
@open coral ok apparently the game didnt like me for the last 30 min.... no idea
im working on finishing my msq's so i can get my relic 😳
You need to clear a savage to even get into ultimates
We spent two hours on Jagd dolls yesterday, still haven't made it past hand of pain. That's like 30 seconds into the fight. That's how hard it is.
Ultimate fights are rough
I can't speak for Aether or Primal. But if "raid focused players" in other games are anything to go by I wouldn't be surprised if Crystal had friendlier people.
But I agree that the people in Crystal are rather friendly and welcoming to help, but I dunno about every server on crystal lol.
Fucking weird, welp have fun
I unlocked glamour, I can click on the glamour button in the character menus but nothing comes up
👍
what relic is worth getting atm? since you need to get 1 done to complete quest
im trying everything to get shining emerald to show as macroicon but it just doesnt work, does anyone know why? or what id be doing wrong?
Right click gear and cast glamour
You're looking at glamour plates
Haven't made glam plates. Head to an inn and in the glam dresser put some items in and make a plate
They also have (or at least used to) requirements to even be eligible which consists of certain savage raid fights.
Only the level 80 relic is worth it right now. The others are just time-intensive glamour.
Thank you everyone !
Those still exist
Do I need multiple plates ?
E4S, O4S, O8S
There are. O4S for UwU, O8S for Ucob, E4S for tea
which ones are level 80 though, all im aware of is gunbreaker
Glamour plates are basically just saved appearance sets.
There's a lv80 relic for every job atm
So you only need multiple plates if you want to have different appearance sets.
so every class has a resistance weapon?
Yes
Yes
Endwalker jobs wont
yup
is it hard to get to blade's?
There's a relic for every expansion
And by extension a relic for every job available at the time of that expansion
That was a statement of fact, not a question. 🙂
Not particularly hard, but there's a lot of grinding. Like a month or so if you pace yourself
Quick question, is the dungeon roulette the quickest way to get to 60 for SAM?
when do daily levelling roulette reset?
grinding what exactly?
37 minutes
!reset
36 minutes, 15 seconds
5 hours, 36 minutes, 15 seconds
5 days, 17 hours, 36 minutes, 15 seconds
1 day, 17 hours, 36 minutes, 15 seconds
3 days, 11 hours, 36 minutes, 15 seconds

If I want white scrips to get my gathering gear, after finishing weekly custom deliveries, which is the fastest way to get them after? Collect time-gated stuff that is only gatherable within certain times, or night peppers?
It depends. The Resistance weapons give you options for each step.
Raids, alliance raids, the instances made for the relic
interesting.
i'm really lost on leveling alt jobs, all i know is that at level 15 i spam dungeons, so far i'm level 13 and have no idea what to do
Is Ishgard going to scale to 90?
The fastest overall tends to be the Bozjan content, but there's options outside of it for most steps.
I just went straight to recruitment(?) I forgot. I’ve tried it once and died. Still got the points though
Probably not but maybe
Hunt logs, FATEs, and Levequests until you get to the dungeons step.
!faq altlvlguide
Press H and do hunting logs
how do i buy the Stormblood expansion on steam?
Bump
We don't know for sure
Buy Shadowbringers.
Yes
I only have one option for duty roulette (lv16) do I get a higher lv option? or this doesnt matter?
That's the minimum level to enter
thanks for the answers >.<
Level 16 is the minimum level to qualify for Leveling roulette. It will include all leveling dungeons that you unlock as you go through the MSQ.
casually is using i403 gear 😳
Roulettes give you Bonus xp based on your level
Once you unlock more content you get more options
when does stormblood begin? lvl 60?
Yes
Yes
kk
anyone knows if its worth to gear my retainers?
or do i just keep sending em on quick ventures?
If you're sending them on ventures it is
oh ok thanks so all dungeons are included on that one then no problem
They'll bring back better items with better gear.
To a degree. Better gear for quick ventures gives you a chance they'll return with more/better stuff.
what ilvl gear should i have a lvl79
All leveling dungeons are. Level cap (50/60/70) dungeons have their own roulette - level 80 dungeons will be added to that one once EW releases though.
ok next time they back ima gear em
High enough ilevel to get into the dungeons.
But the retainer only looks at one stat. For Combat it's ilvl and for gatherer retainers it's the gathering stat.
If you’re not in ShB, you kinda can’t get that gear yet
idk if im in shb lol
my msq's are 76 though
Then you're in ShB
That is shadowbringers
epic
70-80 is ShB

also ive got a problem my gnb is just about lvl80 but, if i lvlup i wont be able to get xp from the msq's and my 2nd highest job is 74 and naked.. what do
also where can i buy lvl74 vendor gear for a sch :>
can you not use macroicons if you dont have access to them in game?
For combat jobs that the retainer can be (eg Dragoon, monk, etc) the only number that maters is the overall item level of the stuff equipped. For gatherer jobs (miner, botanist, fisher), it looks only at the gathering score from the gear so items that do not have that stat are irrelevant.
Well you can’t use an item macroicon if you don’t currently have that item in your inventory, for example
but what about actions?
What things are limited for people on the same data center but not on the same server? It sounds like most things can be done, but if the option exists is it still a better idea to be on the same server? Due to character creation lock at the time my buddys and i arent on the same server, not sure what limitations we have
I am capped on grand company seal what are some material thats good to buy
I am only storm serg second class
I’m not sure if you need the action unlocked to use it as an icon, I’ve never actually seen someone try without
Can't join other server's linkshells or FC's. You also cannot put items up for sale on another server.

is there no bad luck protection drops for arr extreme trial mounts?
not getting any items from them
so mostlikely just gear em whit the cheapest gear of the lvl?
No but the rates are high anyway
i strongly feel this is the case, because it would explain why i cant use half of them
like classes i havent played for example
Are you using quotation marks around the action name? That’s necessary if it’s a multiple word name
I wonder something, my fri was playing ffxiv from website. now he want to change as steam but he dont want to lose char...can he play as steam same char?
i have
While leveling them, pretty much. Once they hit cap you will want to give them some decent stuff for the better chances at the bonuses.
so as a sch how should i setup my hot bar? my sch hotbar{first time going on it} is weirdly fuq'd
ive also tried every category, even if it doesnt seem likely
If he is currently on the free trial, yes he can change over to steam if he buys the full game. Otherwise it is impossible.
Then it looks like they must have to be unlocked
he buy full game from website
does it tax u when u make payments on their game site
Whichever you choose you’re stuck with it and must buy all future expansions from the same source
but not full game, he dont have endwalker
I personally prefer to group similar actions on similar keys, or with modifiers. I can't post a screenshot BC not at my PC, but I can DM you once I log on
Same price
Then he’s stuck on non-Steam version. There is no way to ever change this.
It’s the same price.
so if he buy full game again from steam? he still can play same char?
No
There is no way to change
Ever
At all
oh my
Would have to make an entirely separate account, characters would not transfer over
ive been doin Duo PotD with a friend, if we take in a 3rd would our stats eather pool reset?
also some macrocions will show darker than others as if they are not active/disabled, is there a command to change that?
Your Aetherpool won't, but you will have to start over on a new file from floor 1 (or 51).
Depends on if you can use the ability the macroicon is based off at the moment
does the game have no action camera? or am i just not finding the right setting
well i havent really gone in depth with it i mostly have it for turning hud elements on and off
at least for now
what does these options do exactly in the wondrous tails?? because the descriptions are confusing especially the first one
I dont really have like amazing hotbar set up since I dont have an mmo mouse and I play on a laptop
but i guess the macroicons are alot more tied to the abilities they are from rather than just being a display icon
Retry marks a greyed out option as refoable while greying out something else. Shuffle shuffles your stickers
you pick a duty you cleared for the week and it becomes uncompleted, so you can do it again for a sticker
Correct
do i lose a sticker if i do that?
No
and shuffle takes the stickers you've placed and rearranges them on the grid. But only if you have place between 3 and seven stickers.
Does anybody have an album to see all the different relic weapons? And maybe even a handy guide to get them all?
there's compilations on youtube
what is galvanize and catalyze i dont see either of these on my move list
thats kinda weird though, wouldnt it make alot more sense if there was a command to make it tie in with the actual action?
it's the shields from adloquium and succor
or any action
ill check em out, ty
The SCH succor/Adlo shield
galvanize is the basic shield buff, catalyze is the double-strength shield from a crit adlo
ah
For a guide, this is the most comprehensive one I'm aware of: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Resistance_Weapons
what does this bar do for sch tho
Basically let's say ordinarily your succor would heal for 100 and shield for 125. Now, your succor will heal for 225
Fairy gauge. Read the active help entr
where do i see that.
Uuuugh either character menu or duty menu or one of the other menus
succ
thx mate
I don't remember the actual name of the gauge
would yall recommend skipping relic grind until lvl80?
Open actions and traits, click the question mark at the bottom of the window
Depends on how hard you want the glam. I did a single anima before reaching 80. Mind that the 70 one is done entirely in Eureka, which force syncs you to lv70
what question mark @jade quartz
in the actions tab
Well you can't do the current relic till you hit 80 anyways and all prior ones are just for glamour mainly at this point.
ah.
i see. Some anima weapons look pretty good..gonna get one now and do the rest later i guess
thx guys
The anima is the easiest relic, and once you get to the singing crystal step, you can pretty much have it perma active if you do roulettes
neat, ill look a bit into it and just start the grind lol
the daily has reset now no? Its still saying "reward already received" for duty roulette
!daily
oh rip
up to you, unless you wanna raid asap you can do whatever you like as resistance weapons will be obsolete when endwalker releases
Relics are significantly easier to do at cap
Since you can unsync stuff and have more stuff open
blue mage even easier
is there a guide to levelling blue mage anywhere?
i never bothered to keep track of what level mobs are where so end up not knowing where to go when i out-level them
Get a noctast or SCH buddy, head to Kholusia, tag lv70 mobs, have buddy kill them
Pretty much. Because BLU's XP is primarily from mob kills, it's the fastest way.
I'll need to get there then lol
Lochs NE corner also works
Any reason to save armor / armor coffers as I level?
ah ok
Alt jobs
I just finish the main SB story so got lochs open
Couldn't I just buy gear as good or nearly from vendors?
Somebody just skipped through the cutscenes of the praetorium, how do they do it? we basically didnt have to do a single fight because of them.
There's this temple place, outside of it are plenty of fast respaneing mobs, and nearby is a plateau with lotsa mobs too
is it possible to garden without housing?
i think you can exit the game and it puts you right after the cutscene
Intentionally disconnected and reconnected their internet, likely. It's not a nice thing to do and probably bannable
That's what i thought then
Yeah it’s an exploit
No, unless you can convince someone to let you become their tenant, or your FC gardeb
Mgp farming is tedious

It's meant to be. The whole concept behind the Gold saucer is it's a casino.
You can grow stuff like voidrake or prebought seeds in your apartment or FC room but not really worth it
I know but I just wish more stuff was reduced in price during this special event
And GS added a new event: Leap of Faith savage
Long queue times and drop frame rates makes this a savage 
I seem to not be able to find the Gossamer Moogle in Idyllshire to unlock the quest that gives you Sohm Al (Hard). The prereq for it is to finish the quest Heavensward but i’m well beyond it. Has anybody encountered the same problem?

from 60
What else do I have to do to get UwU?
is there any way to boost a character from lvl 1 to 50? i saw there is some book that completes your msq's until lvl 50 but it doesn't give you the xp
!quest the fires of sohm al
is there a reason to hold on to all the allagan pieces, like an event or something that gives even more gil, or should i just sell em whenever?
I like how in the new make it rain quest, there is an option to get a saboteur horn from goddert but he snubs you and says you need to earn it by saving up points. Like bro, I just saved one of your employee’s asses and I helped your bumbling son on multiple occasion.
Sell them as you get them.
thx
what is more valuable? block strength or block rate?
I have done the coils
just making sure, but its probably like this for every item that says "Exchangeable for gil", right?
are there any other level gaps when completing the story? e.g. from 46-49
Strength
Doesn't really matter. You want ilvl and main stat, strength in your case
pretty much.
Block str increase the amt blocked and rate increase the chance
is there any way to boost a character from lvl 1 to 50? i saw there is some book that completes your msq's until lvl 50 but it doesn't give you the xp
(sorry for repeating the question)
Yes, unless you want to do doman Restoration
Not block strength but just regular “Strength”

Don’t worry about those stats

how does the zenith relic stage work? complete fates until I get the drop?
Yes, relic must be equipped
Thanks!
got a lot of those, thx a bunch!
Actually look it up on consolegameswiki, zenith might be the thavnairian mist stage
Sure you don’t already have the quest or dungeon unlocked?
oh ye I might mean the one after that
You mean Atma stage, right? Zenith is just to buy three items using poetics
With your Zenith weapon equipped, complete FATEs in each of the specified zones to obtain atmas
Then yes, equip relic, summon choco and go fate farming. Any fate can work
12 atmas, one from each of the specified zones
what's the drop rate?
The zones can be checked by looking in your completed quest journal at the description of the Atma quest (or just Google)
And yes, Atma requires the actual equipment equipped to get them.
Something like 20–25%
Yep, still haven’t unlocked it. Funnily enough, a comment from 2017 also mentioned the same problem i have.. weird
Then go to the next zone. You only one crystal per.
yep thanks

So say you max out your first job and you still got main quests to go. Can you do the quest with a maxed class and then accept rewards as a lower level job to boost it?
Jobs need to meet the minimum requirements
there's a lore summary in the lore channel ifrc
no, most quests require you to be the minimum level for it to turn them in

To be fair, I can really only speak about Goblin as it's the only server I have been on. But my experience has been awesome. I have played other games where new players are treated like absolute garbage and that has not been my experience here at all.

you balance the stats, you got max 200 in total
this makes a lot sense to why dps is lower than it feels, i always thought my attacks were happening around every second
