[teal orbit]

someone told me that nascent just always outvalues it

[hasty timber]

So im not sure how to go about it right now

[obsidian patio]

if you want to get used to the fundamentals of playing a melee DPS and dealing with attacks that have positionals, go Pugilist/Monk or Lancer/Dragoon

[primal gull]

I don't remember that fight being all that difficult, as long as you're keeping up with your gear from MSQ rewards/dungeons it should be fine

[stoic leaf]

is there a way to filter emotes in the chat so i only see emotes i do or emotes people do to me

[obsidian patio]

[primal gull]

Remember that if you fail a duty scenario you can turn the difficulty all the way down

Nascent Flash vs Raw Intuition

See the Link for the math and explanations on the different cases. Make a copy if you want to fool around with the incoming damage values.

Raw Intuition covers 171k damage in this example.
That's worth a Shiva auto-attack and a Ramuh tank buster in total. This is to give Raw Intuition at least two hits worth of damage to mitigate.

[hasty timber]

I have the lv 70 BLM artifact gear right now but my ilvl is 280 something, and i saw posts where ppl need 360 to beat it

[obsidian patio]

TL;DR: Nascent Flash is always better than Raw Intuition unless the attack will one-shot you if you used Nascent

[twilit arch]

by the time you get to that fight the msq should've given you better gear for it

that said you can always use whatever poetics you have to by sceavan

[obsidian patio]

the job quests as a whole are usually balanced around having fresh gear for that level cap

with some exceptions for later expansion jobs at earlier level caps, due to SE probably assuming you'd gear them up ahead of time

[twilit arch]

they were talking about the little sun fight

[obsidian patio]

[obsidian patio]

basically, yeah

[slate arrow]

wait 90 days all togethr

[coarse horizon]

shit

[obsidian patio]

if you started on a preferred server or transferred to one then yes 90 days

[frail halo]

Alright cool thanks dude

if you did not, it's only like 2 weeks from character creation, and then like one week for between transfers

[visual badger]

Hey, I'm very new to FF14 and I was wondering if bow veterans can give their opinion on the class (how much fun it is, difficulty, dps)

[remote lintel]

https://youtu.be/k_vH-1WZQ3A

[obsidian patio]

Bard is very proc heavy

[jade quartz]

Bard has a lot of oGCD procs to track

Very busy

[obsidian patio]

it also has a fairly high APM compared to most jobs

[gritty falcon]

what items should I prioritize spending GC seals on?

[obsidian patio]

promotions if you can

if not then look for items that sell decently on the marketboard, like cordials or glamour prisms

[jade quartz]

Its damage contribution is fine, its design is in-between machinist which is totally selfish dps and dancer which has a lot of party buffs

All jobs are quite closely balanced in this game, no job is undesirable

Bard has moderate party buffs.

[dim marsh]

is there anything i can spend my gil on that i might want/need? i'm a free trial player almost capped at 300k

[inland zenith]

ty very much!

[gritty falcon]

I'm maxed on promotions currently gated by Adventurer Squadrons which I think I'm going to ignore for now

[teal orbit]

How would you guys rank the tanks in terms of Difficulty?

[gritty falcon]

unless there's some REALLY good stuff in the last two promotion levels

[obsidian patio]

from easiest to hardest my personal opinion is:
WAR > DRK > PLD > GNB

[autumn mason]

i was trying to do the a relic reborn for the stardust rod and i need a sanguine rod for it, as a trial player the only way for me to get it would be to craft it myself right?

[obsidian patio]

yes.

[autumn mason]

aight ty 👍

[obsidian patio]

so you'd need a level 50 goldsmith and Blacksmith to make the staff and materials

also level 50 miner

[autumn mason]

👴 sheesh

[teal orbit]

why didnt asmongold go with drk

thought he was going with that

[left whale]

Cuz he hasnt unlocked it

[leaden ginkgo]

hes not in heavensward yet lol

[teal orbit]

oh lol

[leaden ginkgo]

you can assign a set to each class

[lilac sail]

Bring up character sheet and click on Gear Set List to assign each job an armor set

[low lynx]

what does all that mean in the Party Finder

UCoB UwU Tea and E9e12 and whatever else there is written

[heavy wadi]

someone selling clears of high level content

probably a bot/rmt

[hidden agate]

So question about Summoners: I've heard that they're a heavy hitting caster, but it so far doesn't seem like their abilities have a whole lot in the way of potency. Outburst actually kind of seems completely useless, as ruin has the same cast time, but definitely does more damage. Where does their damage come from?

[alpine shadow]

summons

at lvl60 and above is where the cool actions come at

[teal orbit]

how many stacks of mitigation do you usually need for tankbusters?

[alpine shadow]

1

[teal orbit]

20%?

[lethal leaf]

can you have more than one character in a world? rn i had a cat girl but i dont like how she looks or the lancer class. She was on the Primal Leviathan world so my boyfriend and I could play together at some point later on. Do i have to delete my old character to be in the same world again?

[alpine shadow]

i mean, as a drk you can use the blackest knight

[lethal leaf]

i'll send screencaps just gimme a sec...

[alpine shadow]

and pld has a shield i think?

[teal orbit]

Are tank busters that require 2+ rare?

[hidden agate]

you only need 1- you want to space them out, so you nearly always have a cooldown available

[hidden agate]

pretty rare, you shouldn't ever encounter any like that

[leaden ginkgo]

depends on your subscription, if you have the entry sub then you can only have 1 character per world

but having more than 1 character is not needed

[lethal leaf]

this is true.. how do i delete my old one then?

[alpine shadow]

if you are on entry, then you need to delete your old character to be able to use the same world

[teal orbit]

Are there some busters that force 1hp invinc?

[leaden ginkgo]

if you dont like your characters look and you havent progressed that much into the story then you can just delete it

[teal orbit]

And if so is there any way to tell beforehand

[lethal leaf]

its a level 8 i think

[teal orbit]

Also if you need to mitigate, and have both Rampart + Vengeance available, which one do you use first?

I assume vengeance as it has the longest CD?

[hidden agate]

outside of high end raids, your invuln is pretty much a last resort... or a way to scare your healer if you're a gunbreaker/dark knight 😈

[forest lark]

Not sure if I saw ot correctly, but I think I saw someone riding a mount that looks like queens from delubrum? Where do i get it?

[leaden ginkgo]

just right click on your name

[teal orbit]

I've seen a good amount of bosses that 1shot you if you don't tankswap or put invuln on

2 heads/main head

forgot the name of the boss

as an example

Is there any way to tell beforehand wheter its a tank buster that just requires you to be topped off and pop 1 20% dmg reduction mitigation skill

[lethal leaf]

i got it say o7 to Linwood

[teal orbit]

Or if it's one where you're forced to tankswap/pop invuln?

[hidden agate]

Outside of high end raids, i've never needed to tank swap, or use invuln to survive a tank buster. been around the block, though.

[kindred ingot]

Theres no easy way to get LB for a group pose shot is there?

[teal orbit]

whats considered high end raids?

[hidden agate]

Savage Raids/Extreme Trials

[teal orbit]

I think I saw asmongold get 1 shotted by a tank buster

by the hydra boss (2 heads - main head)

[twilit arch]

you can use explorer mode to get lb shots

[teal orbit]

and he's definitely not at endgame right

so whatsup with that

[obsidian patio]

Outburst is an AoE move. it does more damage than Ruin at 3 targets.

Summoner hits hard by having different damage sources pile up on top of each other. You have your ruin spam, your pet attacks, your DoT damage, and your oGCDs like Fester and Painflare.

[leaden ginkgo]

if you get a debuff before a tank buster you may get 1 shotted

[kindred ingot]

He's not very good.

[teal orbit]

he didnt have any invuln stacks

at that specific moment

[teal orbit]

I was wondering about that, how are his warrior rotations?

[kindred ingot]

Multiple regular dungeons have mobs who can oneshot people if you dont get out of the way.

Warrior is basically impossible to fuck up imho

You just gotta NOT STAND IN AOES

[teal orbit]

the hydra one wasnt an aoe

I forgot what its called

[kindred ingot]

Tbh idk which hydra you're referring to

There's a few

[teal orbit]

you mean a debuff separate from the tank buster debuff?

[hidden agate]

If you're not tackling savage raids or extreme trials, you should be fine just using your cool downs. Most tank busters have obvious names and long cast times to alert you "Hey, what I'm about to do is gonna hurt"

Space them out, and you should always have a cool down available for a tank buster

[slate arrow]

if you blow through every cooldown at once, you're going to feel very silly when you get tankbustered

[kindred ingot]

Also do not be afraid to ask for advice from your party ingame

[hidden agate]

Yes, I very much did, lol. Lucky that my boyfriend was an experienced player who walked me through that stuff early on. He's a good teacher :3

[slate arrow]

hell yeah

good teachers 10/10

[teal orbit]

Whats the best mitigation cd to start with

the one with the longer cd?

[hidden agate]

Start with Rampart- can never go wrong

[teal orbit]

assume all are up

[chrome island]

Do PLD job quests at 60-70 give you anything other than EXP, gil, and a tired finger?

[teal orbit]

I think veng would be the best opener

as that one also adds a tiny amount of dps

[slate arrow]

70 gives you your final job quest capstone

skill

oh and the 70 relic gear

[chrome island]

time to suffer through the tournament for one skill

[boreal glade]

will shadowbringers msq take me from 70 to 80?

[slate arrow]

mostly

[chrome island]

The gear I think is only a bit better than what I’m wearing, I don’t see a point in putting wear and tear on it just to put it in the chest

[slate arrow]

with 1-2 roulettes/dungeons after the MSQ run required for EXP

[boreal glade]

ive got the preorder earring so i should be good right?

[slate arrow]

you should have Scaevan gear unless you haven't finished Stormblood yet

[hidden agate]

some guides i've read mentioned that the 30% is the best for use against a tank buster, i'll be honest, I've never needed more than Rampart- unless rampart has already been used which, is rarely the case

[chrome island]

Lmao I wish I was at the end of stormblood. Started it about an hour ago.

I’m just overleveled

[slate arrow]

then why are you worrying about gear lmao

¯_(ツ)_/¯

up to you ultimately

[boreal glade]

i ended up doing the msq in a 2nd job

[slate arrow]

but you should wear your relic set at any rate, you'll need it for the item level

[boreal glade]

im half way into stormblood atm

[chrome island]

I’m gonna get a second job to 60 once I make up my damn mind on how much pain I want to suffer through (aka do I want to do this with WHM or something with more of a punch)

[teal orbit]

probably best to open with the 30% one cuz it adds DPS and has the longest cd

[velvet glacier]

does crafting each item of the crafting log give more xp?

[ripe hound]

Is "Claws of the Beast" on discount now?

[chrome island]

Compared to…? (@/traxus)

[ripe hound]

Cool it is nice

[velvet glacier]

compared to spamming one specific item

[hidden agate]

if that is what you feel comfy with, go for it 🙂 the important thing is not to use them all at once.

[teal orbit]

the important thing is to get yellow parses

[chrome island]

Oh. Not necessarily. Depends on a few factors, such as the level of item you’d spam craft vs the level of item you’d make new

[teal orbit]

😎

[chrome island]

You’re better off making a few new at higher min level than spamming a level 1 recipe, for example

You do also earn a bonus the first time you craft an item, I think.

[teal orbit]

Are bosses stunnable at all? (low blow)

[twilit arch]

most ARR bosses are yes

but after that no

[leaden ginkgo]

How do u lock certain items from expert delivery? I’ve got some gear pieces that I’d like to keep for an alt job. Is there a way to mark those as important or something?

[slate arrow]

ARR is the exception not the norm

[chrome island]

So like, I’m gonna get better EXP from crafting 3 orchestrion rolls that are level 30 than I am from crafting distilled water 50 zillion times

[teal orbit]

Does stun interrupt cast?

[slate arrow]

stun does not interrupt no

it does stop casts

but not interrupt

[leaden ginkgo]

So I can just spam dungeons unsync and expert delivery without having to worry about what I’m turning in and stuff

[slate arrow]

which is it's own status

[chrome island]

If you’re not on trial, perhaps give them to a retainer?

[teal orbit]

makes sense

So you should just use low blow whenever offcd?

[slate arrow]

not really

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh bet I’m not on trial but I never used retainers 🤦🏾‍♂️

Ty

[chrome island]

Oh I don’t know how you live without retainers

[teal orbit]

When you tank swap (enmity), do you also have to turn off your tank stance? or can you leave it on?

[leaden ginkgo]

Idek what they’re for lmao

[chrome island]

I have 2 because I’ve got so much stuff I want for leveling

[leaden ginkgo]

Are they like armoire? Like banks and stuff

[slate arrow]

you can but you should turn it off for a few seconds to let the other tank get the lead

[chrome island]

They’re for storage, grabbing items, and selling things

[slate arrow]

its basically banks

except per character

there is no accountwide stuff here

[leaden ginkgo]

Bet

[chrome island]

You can send them on ventures to retrieve items for crafting and stuff, and sometimes they find gear and minions

[hidden agate]

yes, drop your tank stance, and go ahead and shirk for good measure :3

[teal orbit]

If you turn off tank stance & turn it on later

when its not needed

arent you wasting 2 weave slots or whatever you call it

like other instants you could be weaving in instead

[slate arrow]

i mean no cause you weave em after you use your cooldowns or before

[light sedge]

You can change the visible items in expert delivery to hide gear set items

[teal orbit]

yeah but isnt it at the cost of other instants that you also want to weave?

[light sedge]

that will make sure nothing is being sold that might be in your sets

[teal orbit]

dont you delay those by adding in tank stance off & on?

[chrome island]

That does help, but it doesn’t solve the problem when they don’t have the item in a set because it’s higher than they’re leveled in that class

[slate arrow]

you either turn stance ON before your burst

or ON after your burst

BEFORE means you get a bigger aggro boost

or AFTER to stay in second

[light sedge]

true, all you can do in that case is not misclick :D

[teal orbit]

I thought tank stance just generated enmity

not amplified

[slate arrow]

it multiplies based on your damage

it's like, 10x?

something silly

guarantees DPS and Healers wont be ripping aggro off you

[light sedge]

I have a q myself. I just started using ventures with my retainers. I have no crafting class levelled except for weaver (like 46~). Is using the thm class okay or is minor/fisher/botanist still beneficial even for weaver?

[teal orbit]

I wonder if you have to turn it off at all

when tank swapping

shirk should create a big enough gap

no?

[slate arrow]

you don't have to unless your cotank is a lower item level

the damage/aggro difference between 510 and 530 is something to keep in mind

[teal orbit]

ah if your cotank has lower item level, you'll generate more enmity compared to him and slowly creep back up and overtake him eventually?

[slate arrow]

not slowly, but yes

especailly if your stance is on and your burst window is up

[teal orbit]

so here you would be forced to turn off your tank stance

I see

[high owl]

what duties give you the most exp when going from lv 60-70?

[rich idol]

[slate arrow]

61 to 69 (nice)

[cold river]

did Sargatanas just go down?

[high owl]

okay, so they don't all give the same amount then?

[slate arrow]

no

no

you want to do the highest level one you can do

roulette gives you a bonus that's a % of your EXP bar so that's the exception, not the norm

[rich idol]

no I mean, for the quest and learning it, I went there where NPC should give me the quest but there's nothing....

[cosmic pilot]

Is there a way to have 100% success rate on retrieving materia?

[slate arrow]

wait for the next expansion

[cosmic pilot]

Oh? There will be one?

[full gust]

yea I think so

I got kicked out and cant back in

[cold river]

Yeah the same happened to me

[jade quartz]

No

[slate arrow]

this is always how it's been, current materia will always have a chance to be lost

[jade quartz]

But there will be new tiers of materia

The current materia will become outdated but will have 100% chance

doesnt matter and inclusive

[neon fog]

will it show up on my buff bar similar to boost to 70 on preferred servers? I don't think iv seen it, although I havent really been looking

Question in relation go the "Tales of Adventure" So it says it instantly completes the msq, would u get the rewards for them quests? i have my main sever, which often dies down around a certain time, and want to have another on another data-center. Thus i am interested in Tales of Adventure.

[slate arrow]

No

[neon fog]

@slate arrow @outer mural cheers bois

[outer mural]

it has different applications towards its movement but it's ultimately not insanely harder than any other class

[neon fog]

726% holy sh*t

[slate arrow]

You can buy unique rewards from the calamity salvager but specifically the free fantasia you cannot get from skipping

[outer mural]

jut has a different thought process for positioning

it's also still immensely powerful for damage if played well

[glacial isle]

should i worry about accessories for Gatherer Retainers or is left-side gear good enough (Retainer is currently lvl 20)

[outer mural]

ilevel will matter from accessories as they unlock higher level ventures so you'll ahve to care at some point

[twilit arch]

left side is fine

[outer mural]

but you don't need to religiously upgrade their gear every 2 levels or something like taht

[naive yew]

That sucks

[queen jolt]

so im trying to buy glamour prisms from the market board and its only letting me buy the whole stack of 99 prisms, can I not select the amount of prisms I want to buy?

[twilit arch]

gathering retainers don't care about ilvl as much as combat do

[slate arrow]

No

[outer mural]

@queen jolt nay

[slate arrow]

You must buy the entire listing

[twilit arch]

main reason to give them accessories is to meld gathering on it to meet gathering requirements

[queen jolt]

Thats a tad bit stupid

[slate arrow]

And everyone snaps up the smaller stacks nearly asap so

May we well keep a stack in your inventory

That's what I do

/is sitting on ~500 prisms

side-note that's why selling in lower quantities for certain items will be far more efficient for actually getting people to buy it over time

they occasionally both go on sale at the same tme, it's just that this time just happens to be a complete edition sale

[pale nimbus]

If leveling as a healer, will you need to switch to a DPS or Tank Job when you’re in solo content?

[outer mural]

nope

[boreal storm]

All roles can beat the story

[slate arrow]

Quite often for standalone, one-twice a year for Steam

[pale nimbus]

Healers have enough damage output then in solo context, just presumably slower?

[slate arrow]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[slate arrow]

some people prefer playing healer cause you can heal yourself after fuck ups

[pale nimbus]

How do other classes heal for solo content? I know there’s some minor heal abilities. Besides that is there perhaps food for healing?

[slate arrow]

that's the neat part, you don't

well

[leaden ginkgo]

Really subjective, and I can't be a good judge since I quit raiding back in Wrath with heroic-10 ICC. I found the timing on certain things in FF to be a bit more clutch

[slate arrow]

that's partially a lie

[pale nimbus]

I see. Thank you.

Oh, on the topic of healers, what are the common ways of healing in group content? I mean specifically are you primarily focused on name plates and clicking on them to heal people? Or doing that but with focus macros?

[terse grail]

clicking on name plates and healing

or using aoe healing spells

[slate arrow]

AoE heals, target of target for tank

[boreal storm]

Don’t use macros for combat

[slate arrow]

if your DPS needs a single target heal, they've fucked up

[boreal storm]

They suck

[terse grail]

macros arent good in this game, they are made intentionally bad so you can't automate combat

[pale nimbus]

That’s really awesome to hear.

[terse grail]

although it sorta sucks, since mouseover esentially doesn't exist in the game. you'll need a 3rd party addon if you want mouseover

[obsidian tiger]

When do i get my first mount?

[slate arrow]

*proper mouseover

!faq mount

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'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.

[obsidian tiger]

Oh sorry

[slate arrow]

np

[pale nimbus]

Is “target of target for tank” the only recommended macro for healing in group content?

[obsidian tiger]

btw is it bad that im more ahead on my job quest then msq?

[terse grail]

dont apologize lol, we use those faq commands so we dont have to type things out xD

[slate arrow]

nah

[slate arrow]

it's not a macro it's a keybind

t by deafult

[obsidian tiger]

Because i like my job quest alot more :3

[pale nimbus]

Ah okay!

[tulip zephyr]

is there a weekly cap on custom deliveries as a whole, or just 6 per client?

[onyx zinc]

I see square has a 60% off most editions, when is this sale ending? doesn't seem to say anywhere on the store

[slate arrow]

12

12 weekly deliveries total

[pale nimbus]

8/18

[high owl]

hey quick question, how much EXP will TRIALS DUTY give you?

im lv 64

[onyx zinc]

alright thanks

[obsidian tiger]

whats 8th month?

[onyx zinc]

august

[obsidian tiger]

oh

so i have till august to buy it on sale

[slate arrow]

Roulette like 10%, trials itself virtually nil

[static hinge]

are streamers allowed to use ACT program?

[slate arrow]

yes, just dont be a dick

[static hinge]

just wondering cuz i still dont know if its bannable

[onyx zinc]

3 whole weeks + a few days

[high owl]

Nil?

[slate arrow]

basically 0

not worth spamming trials for EXP

[near path]

What are those things called that you can use to clear dungeons? From the grand company

[slate arrow]

squadrons

[terse grail]

you will never get banned for just using ACT. you only get banned if you use it harass others

[slate arrow]

!faq squadrons

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named squadrons exists, Kupo!

[slate arrow]

fuck

[high owl]

what about lv 50/60/70 dungeons duty?

[boreal storm]

Not worth either

[slate arrow]

not a whole lot either, they're for you to get Tomestones

[boreal storm]

Cap dungeons give shit exp

[sick knot]

what is the name of the dragon that Estinien is talking to in the Endwalker trailer?

[high owl]

im just confused on which ones give you the good exp cause they all say pretty much the same amout of EXP they give in the description

[boreal storm]

Leveling roulette

[slate arrow]

Leveling, Trials, MSQ, and Alliance

[pure zenith]

he calls her ||vrtra||

[sick knot]

Thank you!

[high owl]

thanks i'll keep that in mind

[rocky mesa]

I asked this in the discussion channel but it got buried so maybe it's better to ask here?
Is it known that we will get the hard version of ShB dungeons?

[static hinge]

then whats the point of yoship making that ACT video?

didnt he clearly say just dont use it?

[slate arrow]

we will not

dungeon devs were reassigned to other content

I believe it was Bozja

[rocky mesa]

Oh no

[terse grail]

because its a grey area, they ask you not to use it, but they won't ban you simply for using it since the devs know the tool is necessary for high end raiding

[rocky mesa]

So no more hard dungeons then

[high owl]

oh wait I thought you said that trials don't give you a lot

[slate arrow]

yes, but you can get it done quick

like, 5-10 mins

or less

[high owl]

oh

[slate arrow]

unlikely, but plans may change

[terse grail]

He just said don't use it. he never said he will ban you for using it

[slate arrow]

World First raiders have had ACT in their vods

Literally the golden rule is

DONT BE A DICK

[boreal storm]

Daily Frontline also gives decent exp, but it’s also frontline so eh

[static hinge]

ok so its not ok to use 3rd party in their guidelines but we can as long as we arent a dick?

[slate arrow]

specifically, they also referred to Discord as being a "third party program"

[rocky mesa]

I liked Bozja so if they add more content like that then it'll be fun. But not everyone in my FC runs that while most people run dungeons so was hoping for more .

[terse grail]

dont be dumb and dont be a dick when using 3rd party tools and you wont get banned

[static hinge]

i get it the point

[outer mural]

don't be stupid with it basically

[slate arrow]

and he said himself there's nobody stopping you from ripping the battle log and calculating your own DPS that way

[outer mural]

that means be mean with it, ego with it, etc

[smoky girder]

do i have to wear the full set of mogstation dlc gear to get the bonus or will just glamouring it on work?

[paper pollen]

honestly I was a fairly toxic wow player and I find myself being a lot nicer in FFXIV

[tulip zephyr]

basically, using 3rd party software gives them formal grounds to ban you

[slate arrow]

wear

[tulip zephyr]

so don't give them reason to do so

[slate arrow]

honesly the mogstation gear bonus isn't worth anyways

[paper pollen]

literally just talking to randoms which I would never do in wow

[slate arrow]

you outlevel it by 10 and you should be in actual gear by 15

[smoky girder]

i cant do anything with that....

[outer mural]

i would just glamour it, purchasing just for the exp is not a great deal

as you'll be stuck in statless gear for a while

[smoky girder]

https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/102280/candy-pirate
yeah I glam it

[static hinge]

tbh, they should just implement a damage meter for savage and ultimate lol

[opal sorrel]

Is might dps or tank

[terse grail]

they won't and they've already explained the reasoning behind why

[leaden ginkgo]

you guys is Heavensward/Shadowbringers story really worth the slog through ARR? Cuz this is like really really bad writing. I hated FFXIII and FFXV with a passion, but this makes those games writing look like Game of Thrones

[terse grail]

have you watched this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_i6mjiGerU

[slate arrow]

yes, but i may be biased

[outer mural]

yeah

[smoky girder]

HW is awesome

[opal sorrel]

Heavensward trailer sexy asf bro

[outer mural]

i am also biased since i'm less opinionated about ARR in general and vastly enjoyed HW

[static hinge]

yeah i saw that video

[stray dawn]

is there a website to view all the relic weapon skin for SAM?

[slate arrow]

I played ARR before the 5.3 rework and the impact wouldn't have been as strong otherwise

[terse grail]

yes, ARR is essential for building the world and the relationships with the characters, so that plot points later on pay off very big

theres a reason a lot of people consider shadowbringers to be the best ff game in a long time

[opal sorrel]

What about stormblood

[slate arrow]

Stormblood has a lot of set up for Endwalker

[leaden ginkgo]

I have a few questions.

1.) What is the range of dungeon/raid difficulties? How many are there and what are they called specifically? Like easy>medium>hard for example.

2.) Okay forgive me if this sounds rash but I am ridiculously overwhelmed the ludicrous amount of unlock quests that are just popping on my screen. Most of these quests don't even tell me what they're unlocking. I don't know if I'm missing out on dungeons (that I would like to unlock and play) or a feature that I know I'll never use (like PvP or something).

Is there a simplified way in-game to sift through these? It's overwhelming and honestly I'm irritated because I thought I was about to jump into Heavensward, and then I learn to unlock all of the roulettes and things I need to go back and do well over a dozen unlock tedious unlock quests. Which is fine, but I don't know what quests unlock what feature.

3.) Is it worth it to use my Allagan Stone thingies I got from the MSQ trials to buy upgrades from the vendors or would I be safe to just spend it on what I think looks cool for glamour later?

[slate arrow]

It may not have the same highs, but it's still good overall

[stray dawn]

SB is good but it's between HW and ShB, so it's being outshine by those 2

[smoky girder]

I liked some of SB, but love Shb

[terse grail]

stormblood is very decisive, people either hate it or love it, or think its meh. its good, but its like a 8/10 compared to HW which is a 10/10 and ShB which is a 11/10

[slate arrow]

Normal/Hard, Extreme/Unreal, Savage, Ultimate

[leaden ginkgo]

see like I'm pretty much only a 6,7 and 8 fan in terms of story (9 is cool, and i got my issues with Tidus but its fine) and I feel like FF's writing has just gone so far downhill, and I dont want to play through shadowbringers only to find out the same people who think that story is good are the same kinda people who like Sword Art and XIII. Like I'm the kinda guy who didnt care that much for what 12 was doing storywise, once I start hearing a bunch of gibberish words blurted at me every sentence i'm checkin out

[slate arrow]

also please at least buy 130/270/400 gear from the vendors at 50/60/70

you'll want it for the stat curve

it's hard especailly at 130

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay, I will do that - thanks!

[boreal glade]

does anyone know the differences between the subraces in terms of aesthetics. (i.e Au Ra having different colours for their horns)

im thinking of buying a apperance change

[slate arrow]

unfortunately they didn't have the time to establish the lore for 2.0, they were literally remaking the entire game from the ground up. 2.x elaborates more on the lore and the world ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[leaden ginkgo]

Normal/Hard/Extreme/Unreal/Savage/Ultimate - Thanks, so how many different types of group dungeons are there? Like 4 man dungeons, 8 man trials, that's what I know but I don't know anything beyond those.

[cosmic pilot]

Is there a way to reduce enemy’s name size?

[thorn thicket]

It all depends on the writers, 14’s current main scenario lead wasn’t involved with 13 at all as far as i’m aware

[terse grail]

dungeons have only 1 difficulty. to simplify, raids are split into a normal difficulty and a hard difficulty. there are also various types of raids that have only 1 difficulty or some have multiple. i can go more in depth if you would like.

on the topic of unlock quests, this website is useful https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Guide:Progression_and_Level_Locked_Content

[slate arrow]

4 - dungeons, 8 - trials, raids, 24 - alliance raid, 48 - Unique content

[smoky girder]

why are there so many hildebrand quests

[stray carbon]

cuz hes the best

[outer mural]

no website but Bad Wolfy on youtube has videos of all the samurai relics and weapons of each primal set on his youtube channel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxOOaNqOrPM

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay so there's 3 main types of group instanced content.

[halcyon knoll]

hey there, so I'm trying to log into the mogstation but there's no captcha box and it doesn't appear... Just on me?

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you very much.

[indigo epoch]

are Centurio seals an advanced currency from hunts? as in you do more hunts and eventually youll get them instead of alliance seals?

[pale nimbus]

No problem for me. Try a different browser if you can.

[slate arrow]

you get them from Heavensward and Stromblood hunts

[halcyon knoll]

tried Firefox, Edge and Opera :c

[indigo epoch]

so hunt marks posted in expac cities

[leaden ginkgo]

Like where's a Shin Megami fan to tell me this storys great, cuz like no offense but we all know the FF community is half people who only played 7 and half weebs who watch any trash anime they find

[pale nimbus]

Oh 😦 Works for me in Safari.

[slate arrow]

is this a question

[graceful sail]

Is paying $15 or so the only way to swap from EU server to NA?

[slate arrow]

if you don't like it, you don't like it. don't have to play it if you dont want to

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm looking at the list for ARR now and I'm not gonna lie, the sheer amount of stuff there is really overwhelming and discouraging.

[slate arrow]

at the moment yes

[slate arrow]

Focus on and your Job Quests

[graceful sail]

Why is it so expensive :(

[slate arrow]

You can do later

[terse grail]

maybe try this zepla video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKWDAe9g1N0

[leaden ginkgo]

Do PvP

[slate arrow]

because no server is in need of population rebalancing

[leaden ginkgo]

That's what I've been doing, focusing on MSQ and things, but if I do that and just power forward won't I end up with an even bigger mess by the time I'm 80 from having blown past unlockables from not only ARR but also HW, SB, and SHB?

[vapid nymph]

does it matter which grand company i choose other than maybe different story? (idk)

[slate arrow]

nah, its optional for a reason

[leaden ginkgo]

there a place i can see a classes BiS?

I just finished ultimate weapon and did enough trials/dungeons to get a whole set of level 130 gear. Is that the strongest equipment I can have right now?

[slate arrow]

yes

[stray carbon]

[slate arrow]

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[terse grail]

my advice is take your time. you can always come back and chip at the unlocks later down the line if you wanna focus on msq. or you can do all the unlocks now to clear them out, theres no wrong way to play just do what you find fun

[thorn thicket]

Guildhests + basic dungeons + early story trials = 4 man.
End of 2.0 dungeons + general trials + x.0, x.2, and x.4 raids = 8 man.
x.1, x.3, and x.5 raids (and Delubrum Reginae normal) = 24 man.
Delubrum Reginae Savage = 48 players.
Baldesion Arsenal = 56 players.

[terse grail]

nope, even story is the same. if you dont like your choice you can always swap grand companies down the line. you can also max all of them out if you wish

[graceful sail]

So what benefit do all these trials and dungeons have right now? Nothing until I progress in msq and raise my level higher?

[vapid nymph]

but what does grand company do?

[slate arrow]

Poetics, mostly

[stray carbon]

some are msq mandatory

[leaden ginkgo]

I was having the BEST time imaginable until I saw all that, tbh lol. I mean.. there's just so much. I didn't know about any of that until somebody asked me if I had X Y and Z dungeons + their hard modes unlocked. ;.;

[stray carbon]

some are part of roulettes

[slate arrow]

if you need gear may as well

[stray carbon]

some have special drops

[terse grail]

ya do em cuz the content is fun

[stray carbon]

or glams

[graceful sail]

Thats what I am doing rn lol

[thorn thicket]

Hard mode isn’t hard mode for dungeons

[terse grail]

its just flavor, but they all do the same thing

[blazing patrol]

hey guys i recently started playing ff14 with some friends and shortly after purchasing the full game ive been getting the same error and i cant play the game anymore ive uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times if somebody can please help me i cant find anything anywhere @ me and dm me because im new to discord too and am just looking for help

[stray carbon]

a hard mode dungeon is standard dungeon difficulty, its just a new version of an existing dungeon

[terse grail]

^

[stray carbon]

like for example, satasha hard is about the pirate crew getting wettified

into sea monsters

[thorn thicket]

Basically “part 2” of that dungeon’s story

[leaden ginkgo]

So it's the same dungeon, just a continuation?

[stray carbon]

and sunken qarn becomes a mummy horror story

[slate arrow]

more or less

sometimes it's different

but that can be counted on one hand

[terse grail]

different layout, different bosses, just at a higher level

[thorn thicket]

Same dungeon locale, different map/corridors, different bosses

[terse grail]

its in the same location i guess is the best way to put it

[slate arrow]

different aesthetic

[leaden ginkgo]

And there's absolutely nothing in-game that says 'hey you don't have this unlocked'?

[slate arrow]

besides the quest, no

well, if you want to have Mentor Roulette you'll need nearly everything so

[stray carbon]

only thing mandatory for msq is crystal tower series

which you need to do for shadowbringers

[thorn thicket]

Most dungeons aren’t needed for MSQ

[stray carbon]

since its integral to that plotline

[terse grail]

heres the thing, this is all optional content, so you can skip all of this if you want and come back to it later, it wont inhibit your story experience in any way

[outer mural]

^

[terse grail]

anything that IS important, the game will make you do before continuing in the msq

[graceful sail]

Is Syracus tower part of ARR main story?

[outer mural]

MSQ is ultra linear besides for Crystal Tower so you can very easily just plow through it

now it is, yes

[thorn thicket]

It is now

[slate arrow]

no, but it's required

[terse grail]

so again, skip all of it and come back to it later, or take a break from msq and do side content the choice is up to you, there is no wrong choice :)

[outer mural]

err, yeah, technicalities say it's not part of the MSQ but it's needed to be done as a side-story

[slate arrow]

You literally can't do the final ARR quest without finishing Crystal Tower

[stray carbon]

stuff like alexander and omega has useful plot details that become relevant later, but isnt mandatory

theyre just big "aha" moments later in the msq

[thorn thicket]

They barely come up later XD

[terse grail]

its not that big of a deal tbh

[outer mural]

they come up like once or twice but they're still worth doing for the fights alone

[smoky girder]

woah, so that must have been a new thing, because I was told i cant finish ShB until I beat crystal tower

[graceful sail]

I have the Syracus tower quest right now so is it better to time it with the story quest or is it a prerequisite?

[terse grail]

its like 5 minutes of "oh hey thats cool" and thats about it

[stray carbon]

i would say the story of dragons and cid's bizzare adventures pays off in shadowbringers

but yeah its small

[slate arrow]

you also can't do the 5.3 MSQ story without finishing Crystal Tower

[stray carbon]

compared to crystal towers importance

[slate arrow]

There's two checks

the second check is for players who quit before 5.3

[smoky girder]

or who had finished ARR by the update but not 5.3

[vapid nymph]

question about glamour.. do i glamour the item or the slot? because if im like lvl 30 i guess there is no point in me to use this feature when i swap gear pretty fast right?

[terse grail]

item

[stray carbon]

use a glamour plate to make permanent records of your glam sets

[terse grail]

what you can do, is put the item of the glamour you want into the glamour dresser, which only costs 1 glamour prism to put inside. once its inside, you can use it an infinite amount of times without having to consume prisms

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay, I appreciate the clarification. I was really confused, there was just so MUCH and people I was talking to were telling me how it was like almost all mandatory. Just took the wind out of my sails given how much I've been enjoying going forward and then I thought I would end up stuck just trying to unlock things, which isn't very exciting.

I am doing the Crystal Tower stuff as we speak since the game did tell me it was integral, like I don't mind doing that at all since it told me. I'm a dumb old person and need to be told what to do or I get lost, lol. Thank you all for the help, sorry to be a newb.

[stray carbon]

instead of manually glamming each time you get a new peace

[thorn thicket]

The item, but if the job can’t use said item, the glmaour is disabled while equiped

[slate arrow]

you're fine

[vapid nymph]

oh i see thats inside the inn right?

[thorn thicket]

Inn or your GC barracks

[terse grail]

yes, and as crimson was saying you can put the item onto a glam plate, which is accessible in any city so you dont have to go into an inn

[sour dust]

Does a party share the limit break bar?

[slate arrow]

yes

[jade lily]

I'm trying to make a character on the same server as my friends (Aether: Faerie) but like most of the worlds its not available right now. Is there like a cycle to when each world taking players or am I just outta luck?

[thorn thicket]

Yes

[slate arrow]

!status faerie

[zinc orbit]

Information

Faerie is currently Online
This server is currently: Standard

[slate arrow]

wait until later

[proud hazel]

Anyone clear the resistance weapon questline? I have a question.

[slate arrow]

rn is prime time for NA servers

[slate arrow]

#archived-lore-spoilers is probably better

[proud hazel]

Ok

[jade lily]

So like, the creation is limited but once my character's in there, there's not like a play queue or something right

[leaden ginkgo]

I had to wait until about midnight EST to get in on Zalera. It opens up, just might have to be patient!

[keen bramble]

Does anyone know where I can go to get HW relic replicas? Or when those are available?

[slate arrow]

there's a small queue, but it's not very large

only about a minute wait at worst

[jade lily]

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the help, it's been tricky to start up

[leaden ginkgo]

It is a bit, yeah. I started on Steam and I think that was easier than what I've heard from other people.

[terse grail]

once you finish a weapon step, the replica is available from the node in azys la

[jade lily]

Since my character's appearance data is saved I can just quit out and start up later to check then right?

[slate arrow]

if you saved it yes

[leaden ginkgo]

You can yeah, I actually sat on the char screen and watched TV, tabbed back in every few minutes and hit the 'refresh' buttons on realms until the one I wanted came up. C:

[keen bramble]

good to know, I'll go around and see which node it is lol

[cosmic pilot]

Is there a way to reduce npc/monsters name size?

[terse grail]

er, it might be after you finish the NEXT step is when you get the previous replica, i dont exactly remember. but just know you gotta finish some steps before buying replicas!

[slate arrow]

depends on the datacenter

[slate arrow]

as far as i can tell it directly scales based on your resolution?

[cosmic pilot]

I think it’s from system config but I want certain text to be scaled down

Can’t find any option

Cause when enemies are grouped together. I can’t see anything 🤣

[slate arrow]

in that case you just mash AoE and let your deity take the wheel

mob pulls don't deal significant damage anyways

unless you stand in like, 5

[cosmic pilot]

I guess

[rain marsh]

I restarted on a preferred server. When my first job hits 70 should I stop and start a new class till I am at an appropriate level to continue the MSQ or just keep pushing the first class till I finish the story?

[outer mural]

if you want to make the most out of your boost then having a second class will be the most efficient

[cosmic pilot]

Don’t forget food

[rain marsh]

Was leaning that way. Likely healer for instant queues till I am MSQ level appropriate

[cosmic pilot]

What’s ur main?

[rain marsh]

Pali

[river glade]

question guys, If I transfer my character to a different datacenter, can I change my name?

[cosmic pilot]

No

I think

[river glade]

what if the name is already taken?

[rain marsh]

Go to that server. Make a char with your existing name? Lol

[river glade]

yeah, that is what I thought

[late fog]

Does that black car ever rotate back into gold saucer purchase options?

[timber obsidian]

I just bought greather lenghts (hair) But can't use it. It says "Requires a copy of Modern Aesthetics" what to do

[river glade]

but I wanted to know if I need to do that

[rain marsh]

Can only regret not doing it TBH

[river glade]

problem is the server is already locked for character creation, so I have to wait 😦

thanks for the advice tho

[rain marsh]

I was trying to get proffered server and had to just sit and refresh the web page with server status till it dies down enough to get in.

[cosmic pilot]

I thought ur name is synced(?) across data centers

[river glade]

I'm pretty sure I've already created multiple characters with the same name

[outer mural]

it only comes with the ff15 event, its second occurance will be this september

[outer mural]

did you use it

oh

i cannot read

[timber obsidian]

Yeah, haha 😦

[outer mural]

what is prohibiting you from using it

[terse grail]

names are server specific

[cosmic pilot]

Ah I see

[vapid nymph]

so im supposed to get seals to buy chocobo but there are no quests there for me so what am i supposed to do?

[cosmic pilot]

"Characters with the Same Name In the event the name of your character has already been chosen by another character on the destination World, you will be required to change your character's name when logging in for the first time.

Although it is possible to confirm the availability of your character's name when submitting your application, multiple applications bearing characters with the same name may necessitate the renaming of your character, depending on the order in which the applications are processed.

Once service fees are instated for this service, characters transferring from another World will take priority in the event a character on the destination World has the same name but is associated with an inactive service account at the time of transfer."

^ might help

[outer mural]

do the next msq

[timber obsidian]

I have no idea My character is a miqo.

[outer mural]

try to use it while standing on the ground in a town and send a picture of any error message if it comes up

second theory being

maybe you bought it already

[river glade]

thanks! I guess I'll just create a character with the name in the new server, so I can change my name xD

[cosmic pilot]

Just to be safe

[vestal needle]

is there a guide on how to make the game look better without preshade?

[timber obsidian]

The problem is that I don't have it in my inventory anymore, I used it on my way out of Golden Saucer, and double checked with trying to buy it again (says that I already have it)

[outer mural]

@timber obsidian so that means you just have it

go change it at the aesthetician

it's not a one-time hair change, you unlock the style to be changed whenever

[timber obsidian]

Yuu, thats where I get the message "Requires a copy" Can I post a gyazopic here?

[outer mural]

not really, it's just turn up graphics

that's pretty much it

yeah go for it

[timber obsidian]

[plain python]

can I solo anti-tower? The last boss has a skill that turns you into a doll

[outer mural]

that's not stopping you from using it

it's just saying how you got it

[civic spoke]

I’m going out on a limb here, but does anyone know the song (I believe from a raid boss) that has a sort of auto tuned/metallic/robotic sounding voice in it?

[timber obsidian]

Oh shesh.. I just forgot how to change my own hair in game. It's 4 am, thank you A BIT STRESSED

[jovial quarry]

That's a lot but it could be from one of the Alexander raids.

Locus, Metal, Exponential Entropy, and Rise.

Are the main four

[outer mural]

very vague but there's a lot of those
but the most popular ones are
eScape, Locus, Rise, Exponential Entropy, Metal or Brute Justice

[faint flax]

hello, anyone wanna marry for the mount? 😁 (midgardsormr)

[outer mural]

big mood

[civic spoke]

I’ll check those out, thanks guys

[timber obsidian]

[civic spoke]

I thought it was part of the return to ivalice raid for some reason

Unless there is one

[outer mural]

ivalice raids don't have any robotic songs

they have the autotuned sniper robot though

[jovial quarry]

Oh also A Long Fall has a robotic sounding voice. That's perhaps the most popular one.

[civic spoke]

You know, I’m proudly thinking of that boss lol

[last hazel]

Any idea why I can't quip my Scholar gear despite being a Scholar and leveled enough for it?

[polar badge]

Thats not scholar gear

[jovial quarry]

That's a Magic DPS belt. Not a healer belt.

[last hazel]

My weapon says it is compatible with Scholar class so that shouldnt be an issue

[civic spoke]

Yep, that was it

[warm basalt]

I dont think thats for scholar

[outer mural]

it is not

[last hazel]

oh gotcha

[outer mural]

you cannot see 'sch' in the class list on the belt

[last hazel]

I though I got this from the In the Image of the Ancient quest

I need to equip certain gear to complete it

[tender ice]

So Scholar and Summoner level at the same time right? If I buy a level boost for a Scholar, does it also level the summoner?

[polar badge]

Yes

[outer mural]

yes

but it doesn't skip the job quests

[tender ice]

Ah cool, sick

Yeah ik dont worry, just curious if it would level both

[warm basalt]

is there a way of refreshing leve allowances

[jovial quarry]

You get 3 back every 12 hours

No other way to speed that up however

[warm basalt]

god damn

that takes a while

[dull valley]

whats a good thing to spend silver chocobo feathers on?

[slate arrow]

gear

[outer mural]

yeah it's used to get a minor boost in gear early on

[vapid nymph]

how do i increase the speed of my chocobo? is that blue plus quest somewhere too?

[boreal storm]

Msq

[vapid nymph]

oh okay

[outer mural]

flying also is max speed so you don't need to worry about it after unlocking flight unless you just like riding your mount on the ground everywhere

[somber idol]

Once you transmog things together is there a way to undo that and pair other things later on?

[outer mural]

yes

[somber idol]

Thx🤌🏼

[outer mural]

you don't pair things together

you just project the appearnace of an item onto another

you just undo the projection later

[somber idol]

I see

[outer mural]

the original item you used the appearance for isn't affected in any way

[boreal storm]

Or just layer a different thing over it

[zinc kelp]

does anyone know what's the current drop rate for gwibers in emerald and diamond extreme trials? i was wondering if anyone tried farming those and on average, how many runs did they do to see one drop? i have a pretty busy schedule at work but i have a short break coming soon so i wanna plan ahead of time and schedule my farm session.

[outer mural]

yeah that too

[onyx finch]

i just finished the 8 man dungeon at level 50 msq that shows the credits afterwards, would it be worth it to buy the tales of adventure: a realm reborn at this point to skip ahead to heavensward (and allow me to start playing as astro?)

[stray carbon]

10 percent drop chance

more or less

but you also need to win rolls with other people

[outer mural]

it's pretty low, i've been farming mine and we've seen 1 in about 20 runs but that's at a really shit point in the luck spectrum

[stray carbon]

so your gonna be fighting tooth and nail with others

[outer mural]

we don't have any numbers for chances but it is fairly low in general for each mount

[stray carbon]

over the sacred gwib

[outer mural]

emerald and diamond have smaller chances because they're newer

[dull valley]

is there a way to increase the chance of successful materia retrieval?

[slate arrow]

wait for next expansion

[outer mural]

right now no, it's stuck at a 40% for retrieval

[zinc kelp]

i see

so around 1 out of 20 runs for emerald and diamond, damn those 2 are the only gwibers i need for the mount achievement

😦

[outer mural]

just keep at it and you'll get them eventually

[cosmic sun]

Probably and extremely dumb questions but I just started. What is the thing beside my map? Is that always there or did I hit a button to make it pop up?

[outer mural]

if it makes you feel better diamond has twice the totems dropped per clear

[outer mural]

so it's easier than the other extremes to get a mount from pure effort

[jovial quarry]

That's your job gauge

[obsidian patio]

That’s the Thaumaturge/black mage job gauge

[jovial quarry]

It has relevant information for your class while in combat

Like it shows your remaining time in fire/ice phase and it gets more bits and bobs as you level up

[outer mural]

it tells you what level of fire you're in, and how long you have until it ticks out

aye

[dull valley]

Is exarchic gear only crafted or is there another way to get it?

[vagrant crescent]

So I know free to play player can't create a party, but what about join?

Can't sub player invite free player for free player to join the party?

[cosmic sun]

Is it always on the screen?

[outer mural]

though if you find it a bit esoteric you can go into hud layout and turn it to simple mode

[obsidian patio]

Only crafted, but can be bought off the marketboard

[jovial quarry]

You can't get rid of it but you can move it around as needed. You can also reduce it to a simplified version

[obsidian patio]

Yes that works

[random girder]

if you care about the story, absolutely not worth it

[outer mural]

you can't get rid of job raids yeah

[vagrant crescent]

AWESOME, lol XD

[cosmic sun]

Okay I just missed it early on because it isn't on during dialogue and I just now started moving around.

[outer mural]

you're close to it, so spending the money now would be a huge waste too imo

also yeah it sets up a lot of story bits at that range like emrald said so if you care at all, it is inadvisable to skip

[onyx finch]

but i heard its still like a lot of hours of questing to get to the heavensward msq

[random girder]

yes

but its story

a lot happens between arr and hw

[outer mural]

people are also extremely hyperbolic about how bad it is

i found the story entertaining regardless

[tulip zephyr]

i'm watching a year-old guide on leveling a crafter job, which heavily relies on Ishgardian restoration
is that relevant still?

[outer mural]

yes

[onyx finch]

ok but if i dont care about story, what am i missing out on by doing the skip at this point? some gear?

[dull valley]

story is fine, its all the running back and forth between the story bits thats annoying

[outer mural]

pretty much

[random girder]

if you dont care at all just skip to shb

[grim maple]

i do see very little criticism about this game though. i haven't gotten far at all so i don't know, but is it really that good or is hype a factor?

[outer mural]

even without the story it's just a waste to skip now when you're pretty close

[grim maple]

don't get me wrong i am enjoying it a lot though

[random girder]

both

[dull valley]

@onyx finch youre missing a large portion of content that was designed for the game. Story is at least 60% of the fun in this game

[random girder]

id say it is mostly really that good

[outer mural]

hype's definitely a bit of a factor but it's a good game regardless

[onyx finch]

isnt that inadvisable because your main exp comes from msq?

[random girder]

well, yes

you still get xp from those quests

just not a lot

(the lv50 ones)

[grim maple]

hmm i see

[outer mural]

emerald is saying buy a full skip if you don't really give a shit about the story

[onyx finch]

right right, i was more referring to you saying skipping to shadowbringer

[random girder]

if you like the game but not the story, just get a whole skip for your job and story

[outer mural]

if you buy a job boost for astro it sets it at 70 which gets you the full exp from shadowbringers

if you're going to buy any skip at all, might as well commit

otherwise

[onyx finch]

i still wanna learn how to play the game properly tho

[outer mural]

if you were only considering buying an arr skip

i'm against it from a economic standpoint alone

[stray dawn]

do i need to keep I's and II's materias?

[outer mural]

the quests are not that bad and you're just chillin

some of the fights are fun too

[random girder]

just watching a few basic guides and beating the shit out of a training dummy for a while should teach you enough if you skip

[outer mural]

it's either you pay 10-ish bucks, which is 66% worth a month's sub, or just spend a few days during post-arr

[random girder]

the problem is often that people skip and then jump into stormblood raids

[outer mural]

not really no

you can combine them at the materia melder to become more valuable materia to sell on the market

such as crafter's or gatherer's

[stray dawn]

oh, never knew you can combine

[outer mural]

yeah mutamix will hook you up

[queen fern]

You have to do his quest where you melt materia 8 times in front of him.

But you're allowed to just remove and remeld.

[outer mural]

yeah

which shouldn't be bad at all given your giant bag of materia

[stray dawn]

whats the quest name? I'll start doing it

[outer mural]

To create materia, you must first complete the quest: Feature QuestForging the Spirit. The quest giver is Swynbroes, located at The Bonfire in Central Thanalan (23,13).

this will unlock subsequent materia related quests

this is also where mutamix is

[honest anvil]

i materia actually sell well on their own

cause arr relics need those iirc

Grade 3 is also needed for crafter lvl 50 quests

[scarlet kayak]

Hi! How unlikely is it to get a group for Hard Ifrit in duty finder?

[boreal storm]

Not at all

[scarlet kayak]

Oh awesome! I heard it's almost impossible for extreme or something like that

[stray dawn]

Hard isnt that hard, so duty finder it away~ 😄

[dim roost]

what happened to Sargatanas, i'm 3600 in queue

[scarlet kayak]

Thank you ^-^ノ

[dim roost]

its never been like this

[outer mural]

yeah extremes are considered higher end content

whereas hard is not

[unborn fern]

What is a easy way to level up from lvl 3

[outer mural]

hard is just a weird naming convention they eventually dropped

[outer mural]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[outer mural]

^
for second job
for first job, keep doing msq

[stray dawn]

you can literally level 2 class with msq but you'll delay hitting 80 and delay getting lv 80 tome, so pick your trade off

[unborn fern]

My friend has to get to level 4 for a msq but their stuck at lvl 3

[outer mural]

[unborn fern]

I already told them to do their first guild quest but it wasn’t sufficient

[outer mural]

that is very strange but send them that guide

do their hunting log mainly

[stray dawn]

do this

[outer mural]

wrong tag but yeah knives tell them to do that

[stray dawn]

ops wrong tag

[wispy finch]

Wow people actually do this

[stray dawn]

for early levels

[wispy finch]

damn

[stable knot]

NO, I did it for achievement lol

[wispy finch]

Character creation

[outer mural]

you mean the default midlander guy?

[leaden ginkgo]

If I want to do a quick potd run for resistance weapon, shall I use pf to gather 51-100 or 51-150? Going 151+ takes around 40min/floor, so I don't want to do it.

[wispy finch]

Don’t press the benchmark or whatever, there’s a separate button for that

and its the character creation one

[outer mural]

51-100 is probably quicker but it has a lesser chance so

[leaden ginkgo]

Syrcus Tower is part of the Crystal Tower chain, yes?

[outer mural]

yes

second raid you do in the trilogy

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks.

[outer mural]

oh no that isn't included but you could probably get easily close

[leaden ginkgo]

Just out of curiosity, is 2x 51-100 faster? Or, is 51-150 faster?

[verbal rune]

So I already have some jobs at lvl 80

I was pacing my role quests, to go toe to toe with msq

[leaden ginkgo]

Also, would it be possible to do 101+ potd with only dps?

[outer mural]

i would not know the exact chances and know how to compare tbh

[verbal rune]

Should I just finish one role quest too? Is there any difference?

[outer mural]

i am not a potd expert by any means and just ran delubrum anyway

delubrum now should most definitely be faster for finishing the quest

[outer mural]

you get an additional neat cutscene in the msq right before a certain event but otherwise it's not significant

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, but I have several jobs below Lv60, so I want to do potd at first

[stray dawn]

oh, you have to pick up a profession class to do the melding quest apparantly, what proffession should I pick up 1st?

[warm basalt]

how do I get elemental materia IV?

[stray dawn]

DoH

[half grove]

does the coin for upgrade in breach drop only once a week?

[outer mural]

all of them at once if you wanna get serious about crafting

but if you're like 'nah i just want it for this quest' then uhhh

[jovial quarry]

Those have been deprecated and are no longer available through normal means

[outer mural]

any work but

culinarian is funny so pick that i guess

[warm basalt]

oof

[outer mural]

it's also a gateway into cookie biscuit leves

[stable knot]

How do I get access to reply here #860940278201319434 ?

[verbal rune]

Ywah, I know at least one role quest is mandatory

[outer mural]

uncapped

[half grove]

ty

[stray dawn]

hm, just one for now, I want to get classes leveled 1st, then I'll dig into crafting things later on

[warm basalt]

so the only way to get crystal sands is either gathering or the leves?

[jovial quarry]

The channel is open only when he is streaming FFXIV

[verbal rune]

Do the cutscene change if I do them all, or it depends on the currently equipped job?

[outer mural]

all the npcs from each role quest will talk to you in the msq at some point for a cutscene but other than that hter's nothing else

if you do them all

doesn't matter what job

if you do 3, only 3 of the 4 will show up, etc

[verbal rune]

Gotcha

[outer mural]

crystal sand? for anima relic?

[warm basalt]

yes for anima

[jovial quarry]

Gathering/crafting scrips and levequests are the most effective atm yes.

[stable knot]

Oh, I see! Mercy! Its unfriendly hour for asian then xD

[outer mural]

I used up all my 100 leves and got like 8

Hey I'm trying to figure out how to make gil as a free trial user to help with leveling my crafters and pay for repair fees does anyone have suggestions

[warm basalt]

vielskins

[outer mural]

crafting is the most efficient way for blue tokens for yellow scrips

[warm basalt]

oh damn

I have no idea how this crafting works

[stray dawn]

same

[outer mural]

like, at all or for collectables

[stray dawn]

any beginner's guide for crafters?

[outer mural]

crafting isn't complicated at a base level at all

sec

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlLzhgaU3U4

skip the intro to understand the basics in like a few minutes

[zenith halo]

where do i go to equip this?

[outer mural]

you meld it to your gear but if you're below 80 materia isn't worth looking into

you can meld it at a materia melder in towns

[slate arrow]

Weskalber

[zenith halo]

Which npc? there one in Ul'dah?

let me find it
