@digital geyser Thanks!
that I got through arr
Oh right, the stylist thing has a separate name
What are “gathering nodes”?
~300k gil on market it looks like for that hairstyle, at least on mine
modern aesthetics - gyr abanian plait
I'm too lazy to find an official source, just note that I found it on this article https://www.siliconera.com/final-fantasy-xiv-digital-editions-on-sale/
so it could be wrong
A node in the field gatherers gather from
What’s a node?
A thing you click on
You do
Like killing a lamb, gather it’s lamb meat
They're in the world
Or find a copper node, mine the copper
You do that
That's how you gather
There's multiple different items in each node
Be a miner/botanist > go into the world and find the node > click and gather the items you want
But what I’m wondering if like, if I want to gather, do I have to click on this node thing, can I not just go out into the world and gather myself?
Oh
Yeah, that's the process whereby you gather items
So this game highlights gatherable items to you in your area?
Gathering points
up until what level is POTD worthy?
60
after is HOH?
61-70 for hoh
See I play another MMO that also uses “nodes”, but in that MMO a node is a geographic location on the world map and the world is covered in nodes that all connect to each other
Yes that's here as well
never did HoH, i need to reach what level for the ones worthy exp farming?
.
What do they do in this game?
i mean what floor
21-30
and is the same as potd?
Same rules
i just need to reach 30 once and i can basically just always go for 21-30?
Same rules and everything
k will search about it
What does what..node?
ty
The nodes that cover the world map
I feel like you guys are maybe having a communication mishap?
They hold a collection of mats
Nodes are gathering points
Usually 2 or more items per node
And usually 6 nodes in a group in the nearby area
what food should i use for WHM?
until you're doing high-end raiding content, whatever you want
"Nodes" in this game are just points in the map you click, that shows you a list of items + the chances of getting it are. You can mine on one node several times before it gets exhausted and you have to wait for it to recover to gather from again
the important thing is the exp boost
heals are pointless on redmage/summoner right?
Much more on Summoner
not necessarily, but it's not their primary thing
Summoner yes
vercure is a (somewhat) decent cure
but largely used for downtime to prep dualcast
Red Mage can be useful since it's heals can actually heal. For the most part, if everything is going smoothly you shouldn't use it
I read somewhere that castrum gives 5 loathsome memories but i just got one? Is it bugged or what
Vercure is also good for popping Dualcast for Verraise in emergencies
ah ok
Heal only when the healer can't/won't
was on my summoner and heal did basically nothing lol
Cause physick scales off mind
Yeah Summoner heal is scaled off of-
Vercure scales off intelligence
Saaaame. Yeah, Level 53 Summoner heals about 250 more or less.
ahh ok
Yeah
Though
I'm assuming Quickcast + Ressurect is still a good combo for Summoner to have handy though
If both healers and anyone that can res is dead, Summoner res can be a life saver
when you first level beast tribes in ARR you only get quests that offer 10 reputation right? and I unlock the higher reputation ones later when I have a higher rank?
Summoner should almost always res over healer. They can eat the mana cost easier and compared to like, glare, I'm pretty sure ruin III is actually a lower potency spell?
The exception would be if you're in phoenix trance and your GCDs are actually strong instead of filler.
You can't necessarily compare potency between jobs
Yes, but my uptime.
Yeah. I notice that a lot.
The Healer has to wait a sec before continuing because they're out of MP. Meanwhile, I almost never notice that I'm low, and even then I get it back very quickly.
potencies arent comparable across jobs
only within a job, and even then there's exceptions, like pet abilities
How comes I only get lush vegetation now for botanist, I'm trying to get trees but I dont come across any
Fly yourself over to an area with trees then
it is true that rdm/smn should raise in prog to let healers focus on healing though
It's better much better for WHM to interrupt their own uptime to resurrect if they have the resources for it
especially because RDM can abuse Dualcast to raise fast af
Rather than a SMN to interrupt theirs
but i wouldnt go as far as saying they should always raise over healers, it really depends on the situation
It's really only when things get dire that SMN has to use Raise
They shouldn't be sacrificing their uptime because one of the other DPS died to a mechanic
Is there any Best in slot gears that doesn't require doing savages raid
tomestone gear
not really, it's not best in slot then. but you can make decent sets without it
usually BiS is a mix of both
You can get 530 tomestone without touching raid, but it won't be bis
for solo leveling a summoner should I use tank chocobo or healer?
oh ok
bis nowadays is a mix of tome gear, raid gear and relic
Because you need that maximum crit baybeeee
Always healer
Healer
Tank is the worst tree
Tank chocobo literally doesn't do shit
what's a direct hit exactly? like a lesser crit?
minicrit
on an unrelated note, more chocobo racing question. What should I breed with this bird to improve my gene pool? https://i.imgur.com/tDOZa1p.png
My thinking is this one because it has a 4 star rating on both sides of the pedigree, making it pretty likely to pass down accelaration to the offspring to eliminate bad acceleration from the gene pool. It also has 4 star max speed which is the only other stat the female chocobo doesn't have potential to reach 4 star in. https://i.imgur.com/ZrJO1w9.png
On the other hand, this one guarantees stamina while having 4* in all relevant areas except endurance. https://i.imgur.com/1qNs82x.png
how does it interact with crit
what hair is this is it from the shop?
it doesn't
berserker makes me critical and direct hit at the same time
Direct hit can trigger with crits
how do they stack?
Basically you have two different types of high damage hits, and since they have independent proc chances, they can happen at the same time or independently
@forest breach keep mashing the first and the third one together and hope the final chocobo comes out good
It's from pvp, Styled for hire
And the damage is added together
no, direct hit and crit are two different stats entirely
!faq directcrit
It depends how much crit you have
Scaled based on your crit hit stat
Cause crit raises the chance and damage
oh it's both
the direct hit substat increases your direct hit rate. your crit substat increases your crit rate and the strength of the crit
i see
It's also why BiS also recommends determination. This late into the tier 25% direct hits isn't as valuable
*or well, ranks det equally on dhit
i have 458 crit
what level
(it depends on the job)
if you're not 80, don't worry about it
Weapon damage and item level will give you a bigger bonus over literally every substat
i'd argue det this far into the tier is more useless than dh but to each their own between thoses, the difference is pretty minimal
Just buy Ironworks
weapon damage and mainstat are so much stronger
det vs dh in general is more a consideration for tiering
yep i'm trying to get all pieces
as long as you're not 80, just get more ilvl
also depends on your class but those are very fringe cases
👌
i was wondering the difference between the stats
dh on average will generally be stronger but if you can get more det tiers it can be stronger than the dh, but it's close either way at any point
since i'm investing time into farming this, might as well get the optimal shit
Buy a pepper from your grand company vendor or the market board
Reagan peppers
Buy a Reagan Pepper from the Allied Huntmaster or GC person
my recommendation is not worrying about substats, and grabbing bis for your local balance discord and working towards it once you hit 80 
It’s like 40 Allied Seals or 48k GC seals
Aug Ironworks is the optimal gear at your level. The primary reason we're all saying don't worry about the substats is that you will quickly outpace it once you get into subsequent expansions.
How high ranking do I have to be for that for GCs?
2nd Lieutenant
Second lieutenant
Hmmm
Like, even white-tier vendor gear will be better than Ironworks at lv54/56-ish
Time to grind some seals then, thanks
unless you're bis it's usually just
weapon damage / ilevel > substat prio > everything else
and you'll do basically the same if you just tried to squeeze every substat min-max outside of bis
And this game rains Poetics on you, so don't worry about the cost investiture.
i'm referring to the jewelry specifically, since there's 3 types you can get, fending, slaying and aiming, if tenacity is as bad as everyone says, i think the crit oriented jewerly might be better
what's your class?
It won't matter later
war
You won't have a option
Accessories get locked to your role
none of these are guaranteed drop right?
Post 60
you also just want fending anyway because it gives main-stat
Nope
to be fair, the Aug Ironworks aren't so much
it's also not like a significant factor at all
Nope
What is carrier level. How do I get it levelled
you can actually mix DoW accessories across various classes
both give strength and vit
They’re joke levels for doing the post moogle quests
Do the post moogle quests. It's fluff
I can’t even see the first quest in line
oh right
well if it really matters to you sure but it's ultimately a minute difference and like vinyl said it won't matter later
fending gives 10 det and 20 ten
slaying ring gives 15 crit and 20 dh
seems to me slaying ring is better
@hasty turtle Anyway, as a tank class, you always want Fending. In the future, it's all you'll be able to equip anyway.
at that point yeah you can go for slaying, it'll be marginally stronger
though since you mentioned, aiming would not
aiming gives dex
yeah, which is the issue
The easiest way to farm for Relic weapon stats quest is through seals?
yeah dex does nothing for tanks
you want STR as a tank or a melee dps other than NIN
DEX is only good for NIN and the phys ranged jobs
it is
but it gives the same stats
ARR gear was a weird time lol
yeah it's weird it works that way but w/e
yeah, they went through main stat changes along the way too
if you don't mind, what's the reasoning? I'd like to make these decisions properly rather than always resorting to asking.
there used to not be VIT on accessories other than tank ones, tank accessories used to not have STR. There was also a time when tanks scaled on VIT for damage, too, a bit after that point
so now we just have some of those weird old accessories (before they start role-locking them) where the fending and slaying are basically interchangeable
What can i do with a table?
what's the time you can keep your combo until it losses the "combo sequence"? (the lines around the skill)
Like 15s
What could I do if I buy the full game?
it's weird, i can only buy fending from the proxy npc in limsa
but i can buy everything from the actual shop
everything the game has to offer
Crit/DH/Det stats scale .... interestingly lol
also there is a hell of a gear creep between expansions so
be prepared for that haha
I mean, like,
this "beast tribe currency" is the thingy called relations or is the itens u get at higher levels of rep?
with people in 200K hp territory
i am squishy Bard and my Vit is 6100
and here i am with 12K
so when does direct hit get calculated
before or after crit?
so they're just added separately
doesn't crit just double the damage on top of normal casts?
no, the multiplier crit has scales with how much of the stat you have
no it's a damage multiplier
If I pre-order Endwalker, will I have access to the previous expansions as well or how does it work? I just hit level 60 on free trial
You can't preorder on trial
!faq buy
And you'll have to wait until November to play stormblood and shadowbringers
Cause you have a decent stat spread on one, and remember, you only need to get lucky once to have an all 4 star Chocobo. Just make sure to keep the decent ones for breeding anyways
If you preorder
I know this is a loaded question, but just asking for guess/ballpark, but how long would it take and how much would it cost to level all DoH/DoL from 1 to max? Like is it similar leveling one to max as a DoW/DoM? Longer? Shorter?
3-4 weeks? Or less, if you take the levekit route
oh wow. so much faster than DoW/DoM. Does it cost a fortune in gil?
Only if you buy the mats and gear from MB
For the extremely fast route, yes
Otherwise, you can use gathering jobs to fuel your crafting jobs
About 1-2m in gil per crafter
And save money
is there a link to said levekit?
I don't have one on hand because DC shenanigans
Could check your party finder though
What do u need to get/craft mighty thunder weapons?

Is there still a housing crisis? This is probably something I would want to do but all the videos I have found says getting a house is horrible ?!
More or less. Depends on your server, but the auto demo system guarantees that eventually there will be houses available.
We won't be getting new plots until 6.1 though, which is sometime next year ish
Oh, they're also looking into implementing a lottery system for plots as well so hopefully it won't be as painful
And solo only wards
What's the fastest way to get gil?
play the market board
you make stuff in demand, you sell stuff.
what's in demand? Entirely depends on your server.
Alternatively, sell crafting services and other items
I don't do crafting...
@slate arrow 4Head
You asked for the fastest. For combat, roulettes give you a decent bit of pocket change, but the big item mover is Treasure maps. The current party map always has a chance for a rare dungeon with a rare drop you can use to craft a cosmetic or a mount, which also sells for a pretty penny on the marketboard
Entirely depends on your server, and asking is the worst way to go about it because we crafters like to keep our money making secrets close
Because when supply goes up, price goes down
oh...
Just open up the marketboard and do your research
Cosmetics and glamour pieces usually sell for a pretty penny for example
So you could chase older treasure maps for example, since those have lower supply
How would I chase treasure maps?
Is it possible to buy vesper bay tickets?
Grand company seal exchange
Ah alright thanks!
Either buy maps off the marketboard, or level a gatherer
Hi, how do you survive whou you try to fish or cut wood? because my stuff is level 1 and aggresiv mobs one shot me
You get sneak later
Turn on stealth. At level one though you should be sticking close to the city state or in the case of fisher just fishing outside the guild
!action sneak
!trait auto sneak
You get that later too
Ok thanks, so i need to be level 8 in the collect jobs?
yep
Early on in the earlier areas its mostly nonhostile enemies
If I find some treasure that the map would lead me to?
or what would I be expecting?
Yes
8man maps have a chance to spawn portal to a special dungeon
Which has the better stuff in it
And more gil
You need a tank and heal minimum for those
If you get lucky you can get a few thousand to maybe a few million a night
Treasure maps with friends is lowkey the best content
I mean I wish someone in-game could guide me or show.....me I'm a lone wolf tbh with you.
I need friends
lol


I can't wait for DC visit but that's discussion at any rate
@simple zephyr join a FC
I can't believe I made it to 53 alone lmao
gonna be frank, most people won't share their secrets/gil making methods, you really do need to do research and find your own niche
secrets huh....
I cannot log onto a squeenix linked account through opening the client on steam right?
is there a way to get notifications of items that have sold on the marketboard while in dungeons or instances?
Nope

ohyah
Guess i gotta move the files back to squeenix folder then
Does any of you know what the feck is this... "rectangular" dialog box i seen about?
Like, when you talk to someone, and you get the dialog box
I seen some vids/pics of it being a perfectly square box
Likely mods. Was wondering if i somehow missed it on the settings, but gotcha
Is there a website or some kinda resource I should use to figure out what I should gather to make decent money with like, botany and mining at lvl 80?
When can i play with friends who arent on the same quest story as me?
there are coffeebiscuit.com or dwarvenmythrilfile.com ~~ /s jk, not real websites
Just tell them the thing directly instead of being snarky with making them into a fake website…
i.e gather mats for coffee biscuits and dwarven mythril files
lolol
Okay I'll do that then 🙂 I'm trying to save up money so I can work on my other professions too
sorry, too cheeky there :< my bad
I just know people don't really like to share the trade secrets because then they obviously don't make money which I understand
So I was just trying to find if there was like a resource website or something so I could try to figure out what to gather to sell
I'm not super good at following the meta always in knowing what everyone needs or wants 
If your miner and botanist is already 80 you don't need money to up crafters
True, because I could just go farm a bunch of mats to level crafting stuff huh
Remember this isn't #beginner-lounge trolling is strictly not allowed here. Next time is a mute
Of levelling stuff together
Aren't the professions harder to level than the gatherers?
@near geyser what did you do to lvl your bot and miner? 🙂
Crafting leves, doing roulettes as adventure in need, gathering things to sell on the MB, ishgard/diadem
Nothing is a secret with gil farming
I honestly can't remember 😅 I followed a guide and did it that way
i was farming diadem but it took me like 3 hours just for lvl40
and i was rushing for the most part
so what was i doing wrong.. @faint flare as i was told it was 6-10 hours for 80 mining or 80 bot
6-10 hours for one to 80 is quick damn lmfao
well someone in my fc said they did it in 6-8 but i said 6-10 to compensate for me losing focus
Diadem is the braindead method and gets mats for your crafters ready
Leves is the alternative
6-10 is assuming you're spamming leves
Leves is faster but you're not really helping your crafters
well, atm i just want to hit lvl80 then worry about mats regardless, arent crafters useless unless you have the highest tier armour to make i510 shit?
No
like whatelse is the point
I'm pretty sure crafters are for like, outfits, home decor, et cetera
That stuff is incredibly expensive
Like there are some items that take like 3000-4000gil to make if you had the crafting
but they sell for 500k +
liek what 🤔 because the only reason i wanted to lvl up my gatherers/jobs was to make money
Old glamour stuff
because like now thast i found out i cant make the 510 armour without high tier armour then i dont see the point
House decor is apparently very stable
Did I mention glamour
I feel like even though everyone knows making glamour is profitable
Furniture is super good especially when we get closer to 6.1
the laziness wins over
so not enough people to do it
lol
For the market to not be profitable
At the end of the day, gathering should be turned into something that would be fun, I'd say
It's all about market 👏 research 👏
Yeah <w>
This was brought to you by spending all day making spreadsheets
If I cared enough I would do that and market watch
is there any sites you can use to price check and see whats worth crafting and stuff
as ik there are sites for price checking market board stuff but idk about crafting costs vs selling on mb
The best we have is Universalis, but that's only updated as often as people check
because there's no official API outside of the Companion App
I feel like this game has much less of a stress on making money than other games
You have to do the maths of crafting costs yourself
Which is closed source
Based on the mat prices
in the sense that if you get into professions, you will just swim in Gil I've heard
off topic lol
So as an example, I could just go gather dimythrite and mythrite, and dwarven cotton boll
who you talking to
I tagged them
Isn't there a gathering map? To where you can look up where certain resources are? Thought that was a website iirc 🤔
Your gathering log
is 108k per day alot?
Log or stuff like Teamcraft and Garland DB
Its about quantity 🤔 1k isn't much until you have lots of it
For not using the marketboard? Yes, yes it is.
true but you'd need 1k of the items at 1k each for 1mill
Yeah
which seems like tedious amounts of work
Well it's either an honest days work
:copium:
Or playing the marketboard
i mean i wanna craft for my money but idk what i can spam craft for cash
Playing the marketboard is usually though just done with crafting though isn't it really?
More often than not
One is guaranteed, the other is LEFT TO THE WHIMS OF THE ECONOMY YOURE LEANING ECONOMICS 101 TODAYYYY
lol
I'm going to college for business, I've taken economics, and video game economics often confuse even me still
Video games don't always abide by economical market principles
uh help
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
The game told you you needed to do one for the MSQ
i did one tho
I think the one part I hate about resource mining the most is the timer rotation thing
i did 70: The Man with Too Many Scars: Granson, The Crystarium, x10.5, y16.3
Because there's no hard floor or always in demand items because of basic needs
All the way through?
that's the start of the chain bud
yes
they keep going
can we not use our chocobo in quest duties?
I'm about to return to the game. I played through the most recent regular raid and that is where I stopped. I pretty much just did MSQ and endgame raiding. I'm wondering what are some things I can spend my time on in the leadup to Endwalker. I'm planning to level some of the non-combat jobs but besides that I don't know.
Doesn't sound like you did if you haven't done the level 80 role quest
Anything, really. The world is your oyster
i havent doone a lvl80 one but i did 70: The Man with Too Many Scars: Granson, The Crystarium, x10.5, y16.3
Wdym quest duties
Instances? No.
do i need to do them all
that's what we said yes
You need to do the WHOLE chain
So you haven't done your role quest series
that makes my anus invert :/
It feels like you expect this game to play itself for you while you sit back and watch your gil skyrocket tbh
The role quests are your job quests equiliant
I can't remember, does botanist not need a rotation macro for gathering? 
Like miner does
i play the game drunk so ;-;
then that is your flaw =)
Both use the same rotation for collectibles, I always go for yield since I just need HQ Aethersand to HQ my crafts
*for normal gathering
Mmm yeah
Do I need to level up my crafter for mighty thunder weapons?
Or can they be bought/dropped
They're crafted yes
How high do I need my crafter for that tho
50
bet ty
Is this a fine rotation for both bot and miner? /ac "Discerning Eye" <wait.3> /ac "Single Mind" <wait.3> /ac "Impulsive Appraisal II" <wait.3> /ac "Discerning Eye" /ac "Single Mind" <wait.3> /ac "Impulsive Appraisal II" <wait.3> /ac "Discerning Eye" /ac "Single Mind" <wait.3> /ac "Methodical Appraisal" <wait.3>
That's old
Yeah
Those skills don't exist anymore
!faq dolcollect
hey im like level 47 and I need to be level 49 to do the final quest, whats the best way to level up?
@urban grotto daily duty roullettes
Aurum vale
So would I follow for the 400GP rotation for general gathering? Or just the scouring short one 🤔
auram vale?
Go for the cheapest one or the one you can do
Vesper bay
I'm at 439 GP for both of my gatherers so
all GP lets you do is get more collectibles or guarantee high quality collectibles per node.
Aurum Vale is an optional dungeon, can be unlocked in 2 ways. At your Grand Company and Vesper Bay. (They unlock the same dungeon.)
So the rotation stays the same
You could spend 200 to get a decent quality collectibles, spend 400 for a few very good ones
The more important part is to not overcap on GP
I've just forget how this whole gathering things works
rotation wise anyways

jesus....gathering looks hella complicated
In case you haven't unlocked it
I don't remember either tbf I just press buttons until it looks good
thank you guys got it unlcoked
Channy what also works is.....
Gather no just smack smack in this game
they have skill rotations 😆
do you have to pay rent on houses or is it just a one time payment?
!quest Gilding the Bilious
I can appreciate more than just right clicking, but that just looks...terrifying
Ah.....
In Eureka i just /shout for a party?
One time for the plot + buying a house license minimum
kk thank you
So why did they get rid of and change the skill system for gatherers? To make it more simple? Or was there another reason?
It is **
Gilding the Bilious** that also unlocks The Aurum Vale, requires GC Chief Saergant though.
no rent, but if you don't visit it for a certain period of time, it'll automatically be demolished and the plot put up for auction
=)
Simpler and more streamline
it's been active for a while now
It was from march 2020 to sometime in the summer-ish
It was restarted with 5.3, I believe?
Basically you only really use a few skills now based on what happens
Back in the old system you only really used discirning eye
The new system just removes the actions you literally never touched
Yeah, the FF14 houselord reposess a plot if the owner didn't entered the house for 1080 hours straight. (Exactly 45 days)
I heard the player admins also can release plots forcefully not sure about that however.
They probably can, but they don't use it often if at all
(Player admins are not the GM's btw, GM's are different.)
Do you just not bother then with stuff that isn't aethersand stuff?
As long as the enemies are within two levels in Eureka, is it okay to party with someone who's a higher level? Will you still get the same exp?
and scrips
Yes because that's literally all collectibles are for now
Scrips and aethersnsd
Is it normal that i dont see the level 70 complete quests in my Journal?
Damn lmfao
It is 6 levels or less, when someone has 7 or more levels then you, you don't get EXP when you party up
So basically if I was gonna go gather mythril for sale, just hit it like a normal node

when do you get positionals? im level 50 samurai looking at the tooltips and I dont see anything about flanks and rear
Level 54 when you unlock the Kenki gauge
SAM's positional bonuses come in the form of job gauge resources
Which can lead to a pretty significant DPS loss if you miss too often
uhh I was doing Aurum Vale but like I kept dying, what heppened? I was avoiding pools of gold but I don't think I was getting healed?
Did you pull everything
don't;
Welcome to aurum vale
The first room is murder
Got the customary welcome
wait
so if i buy the heavensward collectors edition
does that mean all my characters get a free fantasia
or do i just get one
Finally just hopped on after a few months, playing on PS4, does anyone know how to get into the alchemist crafting menu? A bit of a dumb question but I can’t find it anywhere 😅
All
Just hard hug the left wall at the start
Start > logs > crafting log
does it include any new characters i make in the future?
Yes
thank youuuu
It's an accountwide item

Does food bypass level sync?
kinda
no, because your buff is determined on your synced stats. That being said, your overall buff will be higher because the overall cap is higher
@jaunty hedge
Want to add that when you buy account wide things on the ff14 store, characters you made also recive the items automatically.
(Mounts need to be first unlocked however.)
So you could get a few extra points compared to using comparable food
is dancer class good enough to do all hard end gamecontent? heard its very easy to play class are there any downsides for it other than a bit less dps?
Yes
!faq meta
Thanks 🙂
A good chunk of your overall damage is based on your dance partner being good at pressing their buttons
so there's that.
Is it still possible for me to save enough for the Regalia mount if I start now?
yes
you can just be lazy and do fashion report 4 weeks, getting 80pts
and you will have enough to be the regalia when the event happens
I don't really know what that is. I've only visited Saucer once. Is any of it level locked?
OK, thank you
what regalia mount
The car
you can buy it? where
ah ok. its 200k right, is there any other cool item they're gonna sell at the event?
That's what it was before
various Orchestrion rolls of songs from FFXV
(the requested items for the rolls come from a fate that can spawn during the event)
what's the rock-y remix of the Azys Lla OST called? I've heard it played in FCs before
he who continues the attack
ah! thanks
so you telling me i gotta be a lvl 50 alchemist to craft the augmented drachen box thingy

not even showing an error message
can someone tell me how to use it?
what are you looking for
/isearch ITEMNAME

yes
You might have the chat type results go in disabled
ah
what does that have to do with it?
whats the lvl 70 bard rotation for songs
Hasn't changed since 52
idk lool i thought that you cant search item if theres nothing nearby
@faint flare ty that helped my issue
pls i boosted from 40 i dunno what it is 💔
Rip
Wanderers > mage > army for 20s
If someone makes me a tenant on their estate
and I go into the estate
does that count to stop the auto demolition timer?
@faint flare also do you mind if I dm you something real quick lol
fair enough
Only the owner counts for non-FC housing
No, only owner
how do i know the time i spend on the game
Thanks
when do i pop battle voice
On Cooldown
understandable ty
So if I want to abuse the crafting system for money, I should go leatherworker, armorer, and blacksmith huh?
for glam
All of them
Yeah of course, all of them
Just a matter of if I wanna focus a few first.
Well
I guess I may as well just level all of them
Any good guides for all of them you'd suggest?
In terms of leveling
Get them to 20 via daily company turn ins and filling the crafting log
Then ishgard restoration goes brrrr
ishgard restoration? I'm guessing I should just google it lmao
is it normal for (sprout) in expert duty paglthah dungeon tank role that doesn't know how to use matigation skills
For the Feast PVP: if I get bronze, I get 3 wolf collars for the season. Is that literally all the wolf collars I can get per season? Or do I earn collars from other PVP sources?
Guess I'm going to be playing lifeskilling and not touching anything on the combat side of the game for a while lmfaoo, is there anything around these days I should be doing daily regardless before leveling my crafters?
Or not really.
Beast tribes
.
P
Or whatever it is
shb post msq ended with 5.55 r?
I ain't pc
Yes
there's still patchs coming in our way before ew is it fillers
the game never actually provides any challenge in content that isn't labeled extreme Savage or ultimate so yes, this isn't uncommon
Having said that
5.55 was the last content patch and the following until the recent patch was unlocking content to farm
how a sprout be in this dungeon
If they've still got a sprout in pag
Boosting
That means they probably boosted
How many actions can a Rank 30 FC have activated at one time?
my god
2
Which means they're even more likely to be brain dead
Always 2
Thanks for helping
👍 thanks
@faint flare Is there any particular order for leveling crafters that will make my life easier?
Not really. Below 50 it's annoying hard to craft your own gear so you'll be buying and gathering most if not everything
Okay, yeah I heard this is why leveling your gatherers first is annoying but is worthwhile
Because then you can just go gather everything
I would definitely recommend that
My gatherers are 80
I just hadn't started w/ crafters yet
But hopefully it should make my life easier
As far as leveling your crafters goes I would do them in 10 level batches -- there's lots of cross class crafting so they all need items from each other
That or just look up all the materials you need to do ishgard leveling and do that
You still need things from not the diadem that way, but they're available on market if you can't be bothered to manage the trees of prerequisites across jobs
Yeah
I mean I can make a huge master list of what I need
Its mainly just knowing what I need across all the stuff
I'm surprised someone hasn't already made a master list of all the stuff you'd need so you can just go get it
whats a preferred server
I'm pretty sure such a list exists
u get a 70% exp buff?
I just wouldn't be able to tell you where
server as in like for example faiere, cactuar, etc?\
None currently exist for NA/EU
Only JP datacenters have them currently
Preferred server is 100% exp buff, but they don't exist outside of JP right now
any tips on targeting players out of party with controller? having a hard time healing and rezzing
Mostly a crapshoot, TBH. I generally walk up to them and manipulate the camera to have them be front and center
Should I actually do the main crafter questline?
Or just skip over it for the time being for favor of leveling
Kk
Any tips on getting over anxiety for dps role? Tank and healer are no problem for me but when I look up dos rotations in this, they seem so overwhelming compared to what I was used to in wow.
Also is there some kind of guide I should be following to do this in a streamlined manner? Or is it just gonna be filling out my crafting list by getting materials from wherever and then doing that
Practice
Do them in sections
And then add sections together
Anyone else not able to log in to the game due to a server issue?
im trying to give medrod his lentils and chestnuts but im not sure how

if i use i end up drinking it
Where should I find my crafting rotations that I should use when leveling all the crafters up?
Or should I not even bother with my rotation until I'm 80
Is spriggan on chaos?
and how do i add people in this game?
with the search function
they gave metheir last and first name
but im not able to find them
i am supposed to do player search right?
Does any of you know what this large hotbar is called or what keeps track of CDs?
If they aren’t online you can’t look them up
Select first name, type Barack
Sorry one more question: since I picked seeker of the sun does that mean i can only get certain hair colors? I noticed that I didn’t see many brown options when i created my character
If that is the case, is it possible to switch tribes?
Can you still do firmament for skybuilder scrips, and get stuff like the gorilla mount
Might be in a duty then
ahh
If they are online
so if they are searching for a dungeon or something i cant find either?
this system is way too complicated lol
You also need to be on their world if you’re not
Being queued up shouldn’t hide you from the search
Nope
ahh
just got to heavensward when can i fly again?
Anyone here that use mudfish ever experience frame drops and stuttering?
when you collect all the aether currents
That sounds like your CPU is under load
those part of the story or can i get them seperatly?
You should've gotten an aether compass in your key items from the MSQ
You only get one current from the MSQ, everything else is via exploring the zone + doing sidequests
You think? Hm, it only started happening recently and it coincided with both an Nvidia update and me using mudfish.
Do your job quests if you haven’t
i have
Not sure what I can do to relieve CPU load tho
Do dungeons
Assuming you have a GTX 1060 or better, your GPU should never be under load in 90% of scenes
I am doing dungeon
If it’s just your accessories that’s fine
That's fine
GTX 1650 laptop so I guess I should be fine on that front.
where do i buy more ring?
You don't get good accessories until 50
better?
It's just weird that it only started recently
The game expects you to not have good accessories until 50
Never had these issues before
What are you running in the background besides mudfish?
FFXIV is a single core bound game most of the time
What am I doing wrong with the Server Transfer? It just shows ----------
@slate arrow i don't see a aether compass
Discord and sometimes Firefox but I close Firefox if I start to notice the stutter.
where do i spend allagan tomestones at?? google gave me one (1) result with coordinates, and im at those coordinates and theres no npc here, is there a quest im supposed to do first? 
Spam Cutters Cry for level 38-39 accessories
also i was wondering how i can find a group to do stuff like savage eden with, as someone mentioned i cannot do that without a pre-madegroup
Party finder
!faq poetics
Find or make learning groups
as someone mentioned you cant get 530 gear without doing savage eden
You can now
wat
If you’re trying to spend Revelation/Allegory, you need to complete Shadowbringers leveling story
Revelation tomes
do any jobs have special dialog during MSQ for the other expansions like Drg in HW?
There's some minor ones with ninja/rogue
Healer gets the tiniest of mentions in stormblood
In the post-arr plots
hey do you guys know what the quest a light of inspiration has to do for msq for dragoon
issue is i do want to do raids ideally, however ive got no clue how ;-;
it says gotta do job quests
Your role quests
as i feel as if party finder isnt reliable
!faq rolequests
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
Auriana and Aelina in Revenant's Toll in Mor Dhona (X:22.7 Y:6.6)

Is there any way to skip aether currents?
Only with a story skip
yes and no. you can pre-shb
Finish Base arr

Ultimate weapon

Yes
Why?
Take a picture of where you are
Ultimate weapon is the last of Base arr

Normal mode is unlock any lv60+ 8man raid
You can’t be on trial for two platforms at once
You need to buy the game on steam to play on steam

Why do I suddenly stop target anything at all? Randomly during fights?
So frustrating
between two casts I'll suddenly drop target
You'll unlock Eden anyway for gear
should i drop what im doing rn and go and unlock the raids?
like stop doing msqs or wut
like what order should i do shit in
Is Make it Rain something that occurs randomly, or always in July/August?
what does that mean
I honestly think that we are getting a LOT of beginners in this game, because I'm always getting 2x dungeons with beginner bonus in roulettes, and why are there so many beginners right now? It's even hard to log in after patch 5.58 was released.
are you on kb/m and do you frequently click to adjust your camera? There's a setting to deselect your target if you click on field that you can toggle on/off
Can someone help me

People like Asmongold playing the game. There's a channel in here just for people watching his playthrough.
Need to be on the same server
wait really!?
Player search only searches that server
ah
World visit to their server
so overmelding is only possible on crafted gear? otherwise its not possible for example if it was on crypt gear
