questions-and-help

[faint flare]

Correct

Tome and raid gear can't be overmelded

Only crafted gear

[near path]

Are there any quests for Coils besides unlocking it?

[little swift]

if it has "Advanced Melding Forbidden" it means overmelding isn't allowed

[leaden ginkgo]

Are people just increasing because of him? I'm always surrounded with beginners in roulettes, and for example yesterday, I was the only non-beginner in Ramuh and we had a hard time defeating him.

[near path]

Not just him, no. But he's a notable part of it.

FF14 is just getting more attention right now and it makes it snowball in popularity for a time.

[fathom wasp]

Went through all of that, I'm just going to open a Chat Support

[obsidian patio]

[leaden ginkgo]

cool

[dull valley]

what does this symbol mean?

[leaden ginkgo]

so when should istart melding my gear? like and how do i know how many of each materia i should use, that stuff confused me an ungodly ammount

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks for letting me know about it. The number of pf for ex and savages are decreasing, so I imagine that there are SO many beginners right now. It's always taking more than 20 min to clear 2x dungeons with 3 beginners + me though 😋

[worn flume]

don't worry about melding until level 80, and you meld following a priority system

[raw solstice]

blue color means it's passive and won't attack until it is hit by something. The spikier the symbol, the more "aggressive/stronger" it is for its level

[obsidian patio]

Mostly Antiquated system for showing overworld monster difficulty

[dull valley]

ok so basically a passive "elite"?

[leaden ginkgo]

i am level 80

[worn flume]

ie many jobs follow Crit > DH > Determination - so meld crit first, if you can't meld that then meld DH, and so on

but look at the balance for your job-specific priority

[leaden ginkgo]

i looked in the balance discord but i couldnt find it*

should i meld my i510 gear? or

[faint flare]

In your jobs resource channel

[leaden ginkgo]

like can i take it off when i upgrade 510 to 520 or will it stay

[dull valley]

can someone link me the balance discord?

[worn flume]

there's a chance that you may lose high-grade materia when attempting to remove it, I'd only recommend melding stuff that you don't plan to replace any time soon, unless you have an excess of materia

[raw solstice]

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[leaden ginkgo]

ah ok

ill wait till i get my upgrade to 520 then

[worn flume]

also what job?

[exotic estuary]

uhh anyone can help me clear some stormblood extreme trials?

party finder kinda a bust

same with auto party

[dreamy meteor]

today i buyed shadowbringer i am gonna upgrade from free trail and i don't now how to get my registration code i need help!! plz

[faint flare]

You need starter edition ontop

You can't use dlc for a game you don't own

[leaden ginkgo]

gnb

[faint flare]

Trial isn't ownership

[dreamy meteor]

i buyed complex

[worn flume]

#593562900539637760 message

[dreamy meteor]

the hole thing with heavensward and stormblood

do i need to buy the hole game fist?

[leaden ginkgo]

what does this mean? @worn flume Skill Speed (Gunbreaker is very versatile and can be played at a lot of GCD tiers. Choose one that's right for you and meld appropriately)

[worn flume]

skill speed until you're comfortable with the speed of your gcd basically

[near path]

Is there an easy to way to locate all the static games in the saucer?

[leaden ginkgo]

when should that be?

like what should my cooldwon be at for it to be good

If I dye an armor set with glowing energy parts like drachen, does it affect the color or only the solid armor parts?

[gusty cipher]

Whatever feels right for you, C

[obsidian patio]

What platform did you buy complete edition for, and did you start your trial on steam?

[gusty cipher]

Like, at level 80 with the full kit, Gunbreaker has about 10s-ish of double weaving between every GCD (for optimal rotation)

[obsidian patio]

Glows/vfx are never dyed

[gusty cipher]

So if you have a shorter skill speed, especially if you have latency, you may clip -- so instead you could run with a longer GCD timer (lower SkS) without super hurting your DPS, so long as you can be consistent

[leaden ginkgo]

tbh idk weaving is i just use my 2 combos and thats about it

[faint flare]

It's using off globals inbetween globals

Ie using continuation

Is weaving

[leaden ginkgo]

thats what i do

but qwhat is double weaving

[faint flare]

That's using two off globals

[gusty cipher]

So, it goes to a concept of how you always want to have your GCDs firing on cooldown. But a lot of classes get additional oGCD abilities -- so you "weave" them in between the GCD

[faint flare]

Between a gcd

So something like Continuation + bow shock

[gusty cipher]

but if using a oGCD causes you to delay the GCD by a couple fractions of a second, you're "clipping" the GCD

[faint flare]

Would be a double weave

[dreamy meteor]

i buyed the only shadow bringer one

[leaden ginkgo]

so like blasting zone +continuation

[heady pelican]

What's the point of levequests and guildhests if you don't need the XP ?

[gusty cipher]

Which can lead to losing abilities over the course of a fight

[faint flare]

Yes

[dreamy meteor]

20punds

[ripe hound]

Sometimes clipping is worth it right?

[dreamy meteor]

was it

[ripe hound]

Like, WHM or something

[faint flare]

No

[obsidian patio]

So you bought Shadowbringers Collectors edition?

[leaden ginkgo]

as i usually pop blasting zone off cooldown same for bow shock

and the one that zooms oyu to an enemy

forgot the name

[dreamy meteor]

yes

i am dumb

[obsidian patio]

Yeah that doesn’t have the base game

[dreamy meteor]

yepp

[obsidian patio]

Collectors edition adds cosmetics

[gusty cipher]

I mean, keep in mind the concept of "clipping" is just your performance vs a theoretical BEST performance

So everyone's gonna clip, you just basically never want to do so

[worn flume]

these are the common SkS tiers for GNB:
2.40s GCD (1320 SkS)
2.41s GCD (1218 SkS)
2.42s GCD (1117 SkS)
2.43s GCD (1015 SkS)

[dreamy meteor]

fuck shit duude how do i refund

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[obsidian patio]

Can’t since you revealed the code

[leaden ginkgo]

whats that 2nd number

[worn flume]

your total skill speed

[faint flare]

The skill speed

[gusty cipher]

The Amount of skill speed stat to hit that GCD

[obsidian patio]

You can try the gameswap subreddit for a complete edition code

[leaden ginkgo]

oh

[dreamy meteor]

what do you mean

[ripe hound]

I was thinking it would be kinda dumb if:
Local WHM: "I refuse to use Swift to Res because I don't have an oGCD window to pop Swift"

[burnt sapphire]

yo im new, where can I find player for instances? Cant progress in story cuz of that

[gusty cipher]

I mean, if someone's being very

sure

[obsidian patio]

Exactly what I mean, since you “opened” up the product by revealing the key code you can’t refund it

[gusty cipher]

But you've already lost "ideal" state cause someone died so

[dreamy meteor]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

):

[heady pelican]

The duty finder

[obsidian patio]

Again, try this subreddit

[dreamy meteor]

how do i do it?

[burnt sapphire]

yea but at this time it takes ages, anywhere I could find a discord matchmakign?

[faint flare]

It is 4am

For eu

Ques will be slow

[obsidian patio]

Read the rules of the subreddit and make a post requesting for a trade

[heady pelican]

Try enabling all languages

[faint flare]

Plus if you're a dps ques for dungeons are long anyway

[obsidian patio]

You’ll want to ask for a complete edition of your region

[burnt sapphire]

uh?

[dreamy meteor]

oke i am gonna try thank for the help

[obsidian patio]

!faq dflanguages

[silver mesa]

Is ultima the hardest trial in arr?

[zinc orbit]

Why does it constantly take hours for my queue to pop

If you're on the EU or JP servers, it might be prudent to use the ⚙️ to change your duty finder settings to allow more players speaking different languages to be matched with you!

Image URL: https://imgur.com/xIPGDTn.png

[faint flare]

Lol no

[obsidian patio]

I’d say Ramuh EX or Moggle EX is harder

[faint flare]

I would give it to ramuh

[burnt sapphire]

ohhh

[faint flare]

Cause fuck orb management

[burnt sapphire]

tyty

[heady pelican]

Also I trick I did for one of them is to go where I'm given the quest and look out for other people in queue for that duty who just picked up the quest themselves.
Invited them to a party, went in the duty finder again and the queue popped in 10 seconds

[fathom wasp]

@obsidian patio Would a Gray Area exist in the free 30 days before the Paid Time kicks in? That has to be it right? For the Transfer

[obsidian patio]

Maybe? You might need to officially be on paid subscription

[leaden ginkgo]

how important are these? as they seem complicated..

[fathom wasp]

Ok, I felt so confused when everything on the list was right, oh well. Thanks

[burnt sapphire]

thank you but theres really noone

[little swift]

break it down into bits rather than trying to absorb it all at once. openers are basically how you set yourself up for the rest of teh fight

[heady pelican]

Alternatively try a better time if you can

[leaden ginkgo]

how important are they though.. i dont like strict rotations

[little swift]

this is just how they recommend your opener be done

its what people have figured out as the most effective to start yourself off at good dps and also line yourself up with raid buffs

and its not like you're going to be super flexible on gunbreaker anyways

[knotty lily]

I mean, you can just pick one opener that works for you if you arent doing min/max Savage Raid shenanigans

[leaden ginkgo]

the top one looks pretty simple but idk what tincture is

ive never heard of it

[little swift]

ignore the tincture

!item grade 4 tincture of strength

[near path]

Any good guides I should look up for Triple Triad? Or can I just play it casually without any fear and progress my collection and victories?

[little swift]

you don't need this outside of savage +

[solid basin]

may i know why is ironworks of gathering gear so expensive on the mb? ;w;

[leaden ginkgo]

actually now that i look at it more, it looks pretty simple the combos i mean, however is there a way to make like a web thing for act so i can have that shown so i can have it on screen to learn it over time easier without having to tab out

[knotty lily]

As long as you understand the rules, that'll get you pretty far - but theres a few guides out there for how to beat "Specific NPCs" if you're looking to try and farm specific cards. Like King Elmer for Bahamut card, etc. etc.
Arrtripletriad.com is a find place to check out deck locations and rule explanations if you like

[near path]

Thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

also should i be using my dot ability as gunbreaker? as ive never used it i never knew i had one until i read the rotation

[obsidian patio]

It’s free damage

It’s always worth using outside of aoe with like 3-4+ enemies

[knotty lily]

Definitely use it, its big damage but it has a 60 second cooldown of its own anyways. So slip in Sonic Break in that opener for single-target (and then keep using it on cooldown after that)

[leaden ginkgo]

once i get all my world aethers i can take my compass off my hotbar right?

also i dont think its an aoe?

[knotty lily]

Maybe but you might need to bust it out again for Endwalker, because even when you're done Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers Flying we'll have to do it again in the fall 🤔

[obsidian patio]

It’s not. I just pointed out how you don’t use it if there’s a lot of enemies

[runic cairn]

you can also get a replacement compass for free from certain npcs

so feel free to just chuck it for the time being if you want

[leaden ginkgo]

i mean yeah of course, what i mean is for the time being, till endwalker comes out as thats gonna be a few months.

welp ima head to bed before i become a cranky drunk boi, since its 4am

[knotty lily]

Its old gear but requires quite a few "Old materials" that people arent collecting much anymore, so the supply is lower than the demand right now probably. Its not that its even a hard craft, just not something people craft on purpose very often. You might consider looking for a slightly cheaper 60 set, or working towards a bit of scrip gear... or just waiting until 61 for the level 61 set thats also good

Did you mean UCOB?

[urban grotto]

i got a penalty for leaving aurum vale but like someone was trolling so whats a good way to get xp so I can level up?

highest lvl fate you can access i guess

yes

what is UCOB

[slate arrow]

The unending coils of Bahamut, the first Ultimate raid in the game.

Unending Coil of Bahamut, AKA an "Ultimate" tier raid - the absolute highest difficulty tier* you can attempt, currently

When I use Assault on my summoner, does my pet attack my target or the target he is currently engaged with?

[slate arrow]

Your target

[upper cove]

Is ilvl 25-30 for brayflox normal considered too low? Was playing with a friend who went as tank. I had problems keeping up healing and not running out of mana as whm

That's when he went for bigger pulls

We had to slow down because of that

[slate arrow]

Nah a lot of ARR dungeons don't have natural walls

[dire prawn]

Tower

Red Girl

[slate arrow]

So when you pull everything you kindaaaaa take a lot of autos

[dire prawn]

Fighting her when suddenly my character auto-walked into death

Why

[slate arrow]

You were chained

Watch the girl for the direction you auto walk in

[upper cove]

I think it was at 3 pulls, with regen on, I had to cast cure 2 every gcd

Otherwise he would drop dead for sure

[slate arrow]

That sounds about right

[knotty lily]

If possible just try to keep your weapon as high item level as possible, thats the biggest factor of your heals. Its rough though in ARR dungeons where tanks can just keep goin and you dont have a lot of skills to compensate. Especially no Holy

Everything gets easier with Holy

[upper cove]

Ah ok glad to know its not just me. I was oom pretty fast even with using lucid dreaming on cd

[urban grotto]

are there LFG for Aurum Vale?

[near geyser]

So once I have a crafter at lvl 20, should I do the levequests or ishgard restoration? And how would I go about ishgard restoration

[slate arrow]

Use Duty Finder

[upper cove]

I'm ilvl 400 that's why I was very concerned 🤣

We could go ham in satasha

[slate arrow]

nah yep arr dungeons are murder and there's a reason why later dungeons have a lot of walls

[upper cove]

But brayflox started getting very challenging

[urban grotto]

last time I ran into trolls and someone left midway

[slate arrow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[urban grotto]

do people join midway?

[dull valley]

Is farming overworld mobs for valuable drops a thing in this game?

[upper cove]

The holy grail

[slate arrow]

People can yes

[urban grotto]

ok

[slate arrow]

Wdym by valuable

[shut panther]

If the tank is in 25-30 gear and pulling massively things can definitely get a bit hairy in brayflox

[dull valley]

@slate arrow like worth gil on the MB

[knotty lily]

Maybe in 2013, but not as common anymore - retainers can passively collect most random overworld mob drops every hour

[shut panther]

Because you just have fuck all for tools

As a healer

[vocal summit]

When SCH got Leeches at like 38

[slate arrow]

I mean everything is worth something on the MB. animal skins in particular are somewhat ass to get without a combat retainer

[near geyser]

Was this at me?

[shut panther]

And in my df experience unintentional adds are quite common in brayflox

[slate arrow]

No was at the aurum vale person

[near geyser]

Ah, okay

[slate arrow]

So many roaming mobs in brayflox

If you get off the path you'll probably end up pulling everything

[near geyser]

Once I have a crafter at lvl 20, should I do the levequests or ishgard restoration? And how would I go about ishgard restoration?

@faint flare If you're around

[shut panther]

either is fine

Assuming you've completed heavensward

[slate arrow]

Whichever one you prefer. Ishgard is cheaper if you're leveling Crafters but I'd recommend Leves personally. Whichever one you want to do first

[near geyser]

Mmm

[vocal summit]

Ok so this is the dumbest question I have ever asked but Ive gotten so many sprouts of late and am so used to synced parties that Ive been thrown off the "usual timing"- never did it at the "right" ilvl
The actual time for Levi converter is when? Cause if my cute sprouts tunnel or take too long killing orbs it seems to become real variable as to whether he'll ult straight away or waste a bunch of time divebombing

[near geyser]

Yeah, where would the crafting levequests even be at? I've never done one of those 👀

I'll use up my leves probably, and then do restorations

[slate arrow]

All over the place. The level 1-15 ones are in the city states, 20 onwards according to MSQ progression

[shut panther]

You've probably got 100 leves saved and won't need them all

[slate arrow]

So 15-20 would be aleport, I believe?

I don't remember this off the top of my head

[shut panther]

Depends on the crafter, innit?

[slate arrow]

1-15 yes

15+ it follows where the MSQ is in terms of level

[near geyser]

I'll google it, I think I should be able to find it

That way

I'll actually probably use my leves first on getting Gunbreaker to max

Mmm

[slate arrow]

combat Leves are terrible

[near geyser]

Yeah nvm

I thought about it, bad idea

[slate arrow]

And don't exist for combat classes past 60

61 onwards it's only crafting and gathering leves

[near geyser]

Forgot its for the early level part of grinding lmfao

I'll find and do the leves then

Or well

Should I get all the crafters to 20?

Before I even start leves

[slate arrow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[near geyser]

Yeah

[urban grotto]

also, what is voting to kick during a dungeon?

[light lion]

For astrologian- does benefic upgrade into aspected benefic upon unlocking it or is it a completely separate skill (same for Helios as well?)

[lunar nexus]

Is there any way/site to view necklace appearances? I found the Gearset appearance section on EorzeaCollection but it notably doesn't let you filter by gear type, only by full set, so it's not terribly useful for me.

[shut panther]

Benefic ii is just a stronger direct heal

[uneven geyser]

Could anyone help me with choco breeding - just retired a good p5

[near geyser]

When doing your leves for crafters, did you just buy the mats from the player market to make the items mainly?

Or did you actually run around and get all the shit

from vendors and or gathering

[shut panther]

And aspected Helios is an AOE shield or heal

[shut panther]

That does not replace base helios

[slate arrow]

Entirely depends how much you want to spend

[shut panther]

Having said that, you should never use benefic once you have benefic ii, and Helios is also nearly useless

[light lion]

Oh ok

I just unlocked Astro so I guess I’ll toss those two skills out of the hotbar once I unlock the other ones

[slate arrow]

keep Helios at least

[shut panther]

Eh, you need them if you get synced down

[slate arrow]

And keep benefic if you plan on doing leveling roulette

[near path]

Good site for tracking what fashion report wants?

[slate arrow]

Helios does more direct heals over aspected helios

[shut panther]

And Helios isn't useless, it's just.. almost always unnecessary.

Wondrous Tails

Wondrous Tails are unlocked by speaking to the Unctuous Adventurer for the quest Keeping Up with the Aliapohs in Idyllshire upon reaching level 60 with at least one combat class.

Speaking with Khloe Aliapoh afterwards will give you a journal that has a series of random combat challenges to be completed which award you with a sticker that appears on the right-hand side of the journal. This journal can be accessed from the key items section of your inventory.

Your goal is to try and collect 9 stickers from completing those challenges. The stickers will appear in a random location on the 4x4 grid, but can occasionally align and form a straight line of 4, which can award you with additional rewards. Multiple line orientations are possible, with 3 lines being the most difficult to accomplish. Here is an image that shows how your stickers can be lined up so you can have the highest chance of 3 lines. Use the 'second chance' points you earn from completing content with new players to shuffle your 4x4 board around to try for 3 lines! To view what the possible rewards are for the Wondrous Tails or to see when they reset, use the !wt in #kupo-bot-spam Good luck!

[leaden ginkgo]

They bought the version from square enix. having the starter edition on steam

yes

in this case, they need a new account then

And also need to purchase STANDALONE STARTER EDITION

try 2000 as the birth year instead of your actual birth year

[knotty lily]

No - Paid accounts also cant join servers that are locked. Just either pick a different server, or if you want to get into a specific one then wait until some space frees up. Try around/after midnight if youre lucky. And check the status page so that you know for sure:

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

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

[honest summit]

Try 2000 when going through the forgot password thing?

[knotty lily]

Not quite - Ninja has a knife throw move but you'll probably press that button once a month 😉
Otherwise, hope theres a Ranged DPS that fits your style more in general!

PLD and WAR both have almost equally low APM, one of the lowest in the game. GNB and DRK are a bit more active.

[slate arrow]

You cry, and keep note of it next time

[echo cliff]

I just started playing. Should I play as viera or miqo’te

[ripe hound]

Adjust rotation to try to demessup it

If it’s mid pull and you mess up just cry then go into JUST ADJUST mode

[near path]

What's an easy DoH job to get to 15?

[slate arrow]

yea

[patent citrus]

Viera is female only for now

[slate arrow]

All of them

Literally 5 mins of effort

damn, hows war rotation compared to pally?

bzzzzzrt

[patent citrus]

War is a Chad Tank

[knotty lily]

WAR rotation might be easier to understand/execute because it has less combo paths to take. But make no mistake, both tanks are fairly easy still

[patent citrus]

PLD has Magic rotation

and in my OPINION, very clunky to play

[leaden ginkgo]

in your guys opinion, which race does war gear looks best on?

[shut panther]

Pld: nerd, uses spells like some sort of dress wearer WAR: fell cleave buzzing noises

[solid basin]

may i know, you'll only have one security question for se account right?

[viral mantle]

I see now we have Raid (Hard) versions. But I don't see any normal versions, is that a nomenclature mistake since Hard version is the base version or I can't find them?

[shut panther]

Nomenclature weirdness

[viral mantle]

Makes sense .

[shut panther]

Not actually hard, not actually a second version

[knotty lily]

No mistake, normal is reserved for levels 1-49 and you're looking at 50+ stuff. So everything will be named* hard or higher (Extreme, etc.)

[viral mantle]

Ahhh.

That makes sense now.

[patent citrus]

He said Raid though, Savage you mean?

[leaden ginkgo]

is gilgamesh most populated server or balmung still?

[ripe hound]

And after ARR there is no more (hard)

[mild ermine]

I bought Collegiate glamor set on mog station as male. But I'm playing a female now. Is there a way for me to swap it over to the other gender?

[viral mantle]

Not sure if it's a raid or something, I just was doing patch 2, did the sea boat thing boss.

[mild ermine]

or do I have to purchase it again?

[knotty lily]

Trial, then

[viral mantle]

I just called it a raid because that's what we call it in ESO.

[patent citrus]

oh Whorleater hard, yeah

[viral mantle]

Ah gotcha.

[patent citrus]

It's just slightly increase in difficulty

but they are still in roulette and can be done with Duty Finder

[mild ermine]

I really hope I don't have to purchase it again

[fresh gate]

Is it gender locked ?

[patent citrus]

Check out the piece, if it's Male only you are out of luck

[shut panther]

Sorry I should specify :

[mild ermine]

There's two separate versions of it on the mog station I think ..

So I guess I can't switch?

[fresh gate]

So yes probsbly

Check if it’s male only

[shut panther]

Some trials have normal and hard, these are two different versions but hard is still very easy

[mild ermine]

I can wear the set on female.

The male set.

[fresh gate]

I don’t know if it would work but calamity salvagers have a item swap

[mild ermine]

I don't see it under the swap :C

[fresh gate]

Well then

[urban grotto]

so I'm level 50 now what do I have to do to be able to fly?

[shut panther]

Some dungeons have normal and hard, but hard is less difficulty and more a complete remix of the dungeon

[fresh gate]

If you can wear the set regardless of gender

There

[knotty lily]

Honestly with the hundreds or thousands of new players and more every day, its in such flux everyday we might not know anymore

[fresh gate]

Beat the Praetorium

[shut panther]

And hw has a few trials labeled hard despite being the normal version

[fresh gate]

The last quest before patch quests

[shut panther]

Which is just confusing

[urban grotto]

gotcha

[uneven geyser]

Anyone able to help with chocobo breeding?

[patent citrus]

There's a website that someone linked the other day, but I didn't save it

all about Chocobo Breeding

[uneven geyser]

Ive got this sucker and want to make sure I dont mess up breeding it

[near path]

Is it possible to update a gear set without deleting it first?

[narrow jay]

yes

[uneven geyser]

yeah theres a little recycle icon in the top right

[near path]

Oh, in the main screen

Is there a way to control how many of an item you create with Doh? Or can it only be one at a time?

[patent citrus]

for Collectables, one at a time

pretty sure for normal DoH stuff, you can unlock Quick Synthesis for it

[shut panther]

Most items, once you've made one, have quick synthesis

You can't reliably make HQ with it though

[tribal shore]

Hey everyone.

so i've been getting a lot of triple triad cards which i already own.

what can i do with them?

[knotty lily]

Sell them back for MGP, the Triple Triad Trader catgirl is standing beside the TT Trainer lady in the Gold Saucer

[slate arrow]

Trade em for MGP at the tt trader

[tribal shore]

ok great.

thanks guys.

and also, how do i use the faded copies?

do i have collect enough to make a an orchestra roll

?

[knotty lily]

Faded rolls must be crafted into real Orchestrion Rolls, you only need one but

[shut panther]

They're used in crafting recipes with other items to create the roll

[leaden ginkgo]

Alchemists can change them into usable rolls

[tribal shore]

so i should save them and not sell?

[patent citrus]

I would sell it, waste of inventory

[tribal shore]

not that useful in the long run?

[patent citrus]

most of the time, they are cheap on marketboard

If you decided to use your Alchemist to craft one, you could buy the faded copy on marketboard

[tribal shore]

ahh ill get rid of them then.

trying to make space in my inventory

[near path]

Do DoH/DoL get exp bonuses from high level combat jobs?

Or do I need a high level Doh/dol first?

[knotty lily]

DoH/L dont get that Armory Bonus you're used to, from what I've been told. Unfortunate

[patent citrus]

[spring oasis]

is ocean fishing the fastest way to lvl it

[sour kettle]

Is it possible to reach 80pts with only flat cap (without scion adventurer's boots) for fashion report?

[vagrant crescent]

In the chest in the Inn can I store material items from inventory in that chest?

If not then is there a different chest I could store my items? My inventory is almost full. I could sell them but I would like to store instead just incase I ever need them

[acoustic thorn]

do you get the chaos set at 60 for DRK or do is that just a prerequisite to do some sort of process of getting it

[runic charm]

Can Bards still use all their abilities on the move?

[slate arrow]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

[last brook]

I was looking at https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Blacksmith_Quests so that I can prepare items for quests before I start them, because I reached level 80 before even finishing the 2nd quest.

Looking at this website, the last Blacksmithing job quest is at level 70. Are there really zero Blacksmithing quests after 70?!

[outer mural]

yes

it stops at 70 for all crafters

[runic cairn]

70-80 have facet quests based on crafter type rather than a line for every crafter

[jade quartz]

After 70 it’s facets

The crystalline mean

[outer mural]

they did not add any since the expansion has circumstances in which it would be super ridiculous for the eorzean crafter mentors to get wrapped in so they do facet quests instead

[jade quartz]

Like role quests for crafters

[outer mural]

yeah

[runic cairn]

do we know if there'll be 80-90 crafter quests or are they done for good like job quests

[last brook]

Where would I go to start facet quests?

[outer mural]

we do not know for sure but the likely theory is taht they'll do role quests

the crystarium, in the crystalline mean

[runic cairn]

fair, i suppose

[last brook]

Thank you

[outer mural]

it's the round hall right across the leve counter on the second floor

[nocturne hinge]

are they not having job quests anymore

[runic cairn]

nop

role quests again

[outer mural]

as said earlier, we do not know for sure. the likely theory is that, due to the number of existing jobs, they'll do role quests for everyone besides the new jobs

[runic cairn]

oh, i thought that was confirmed

[analog lance]

so is final fantasy complete edition from square enix website cheaper than final fantasy starter edition + shadowbringers on steam even though it's the exact same content?

[outer mural]

as it will be less and less sustainable to make more role quests i'd imagine

[outer mural]

yeah it's because it's on sale on the se website

steam is in control of sales on steam, and se is in control of sales on se's website

[analog lance]

is complete edition normally $60

[outer mural]

yes

it would be 20 for standard + 40 for shadowbringers

[outer mural]

i haven't seen a precise source so i'm just saying 'this is a popular theory'

if you do find one feel free to correct me and confirm it

[abstract pebble]

so what's the fastest command mission to go through with squadrons?

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone knows about role quest?

[outer mural]

whatever is the shorest dungeon, so probably tam-tara if you want speed

actually do they even run tam-tara

[outer mural]

what do you mean

[runic cairn]

https://youtu.be/FJLNV5cYN_U?t=4802 part of the initial announcement, as it turns out

[outer mural]

[runic cairn]

role quests are back except there'll be separate ones for melee and ranged dps

[outer mural]

nice

that's what i figured, thanks for the sauce

[leaden ginkgo]

well am currently stuck in my msq quest because i have to do the role quest which idk how to start

the light of inspiration

[outer mural]

shadowbringers right

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

[outer mural]

what class are you

[leaden ginkgo]

healer

[outer mural]

The Crystarium (X:10.7, Y:15.4)

giott

the quest will be called Traditions and Travels

they'll be in the bar in the crystarium

[runic cairn]

also answers my question, there will be role quests for crafters too

[leaden ginkgo]

okay thank you

[umbral dagger]

Does anyone happen to know what ore is currently profiting the most recently?

[outer mural]

it entirely depends on your market but usually the rarer ones needed to craft exarchic gear from legendary nodes will be in constant demand

it would be more profitable to find ore that makes crafted materials that are in demand

for example while dimythrite isn't worth much on its own, dwarven mythril ingots will sell for a pretty penny

but again these are vague answers that don't necessarily reflect how your market will react

[junior walrus]

whats the materia stat priority for MCH?

[outer mural]

crit > dh or det (equal) > sks

[umbral dagger]

Ah okay, that makes sense

[outer mural]

dh and det are equal because wildfire doesn't benefit from dh

[lilac bloom]

Can you get Loathsome Memories in Zadnor? Or is Zadnor/BSF completely seperate in terms of drops.

[outer mural]

along with reassemble guaranteeing dh here and there

[outer mural]

not in zadnor no

loathsomes specifically say BSF, and the most efficient way to get them, CLL, is BSF only

[junior walrus]

what's det?

[outer mural]

determination

[junior walrus]

what does it do?

[lilac bloom]

ty!

[outer mural]

a raw damage boost

it's very small for the increase you get per stat

[junior walrus]

ohh ok

[outer mural]

usually classes will prefer direct hit as that will be a higher damage boost on average

but as stated earlier, wildfire and reassemble reduce DH in value and make them practically equal in value for stat prio for DH and det

crit is still always king though

[junior walrus]

makes sense, ty for the explanation!

[dull valley]

@dire prawn pretty sure you gotta get to a certain point in the story before you can use a lot of stuff there

[dire prawn]

I'm at the start of 5.4 so that doesn't answer my question

[dull valley]

then I dunno, gl

[outer mural]

did you unlock materia melders everywhere else

[radiant canyon]

how much work/cringe am i looking at if i want to get 2k wolf marks for a glam piece

[outer mural]

like 2 - 3 games of pvp

it's not that bad

[dire prawn]

I didn't know I had to unlock them

How do I do that

[radiant canyon]

do i need to do something to unlock the pvp?

[dire prawn]

You are in the wrong channel

#technology-discussion

[outer mural]

not sure myself but the game can definitely go super wide

but yeah double check with tech

[dire prawn]

How do I unlock materia melder npcs

[outer mural]

yeah you need to get to level 30+ and do a questi n front of your grand company area called Like Civilized Men and Women

[radiant canyon]

true true true thanks

[outer mural]

do the Waking the Spirit quest i believe, and it should unlock materia melders everywhere

[dire prawn]

I have to level a crafter

That's disgusting

[outer mural]

you do not

actually

let me double check

i distinctly remember not needing to

[dire prawn]

This says otherwise

[outer mural]

i stand corrected

yeah you'll need to level one up

[dire prawn]

I don't want to level a crafter

[outer mural]

[dire prawn]

Can I have somebody else meld the materia for me?

[outer mural]

you could but it's really not that bad to just level up a crafter

[dire prawn]

Oh I can't for this item

[outer mural]

actually i don't even think you need to do taht specific quest to access a materia melder

apparently talking to an materia melder in eorzea you haven't unlocked will tell you where to go, which is the bonfire

which ahs a separate tutorial quest to unlock info about the materia system in general

[dire prawn]

Oh that's the quest to meld materia yourself

[outer mural]

yeah i tried looking it up and there's like zero documentation on it

[lilac bloom]

Do Essences stay on even when you leave and rejoin the instances?

BSF/Zadnor

[outer mural]

no

you leave, they're gone

[lilac bloom]

rip

[sleek needle]

Basically every town has a materia melder, who'll do it for you for a small amount of gil. Blue circle-ish icon on the map

[outer mural]

yeah they're trying to unlock them in general

[sleek needle]

Shouldn't require anything to unlock them AFAIK?

[outer mural]

you have to do a small quest before you do

it's just info about the materia system

[sleek needle]

Oh really?

Ah I see

[outer mural]

yeah it was so minor i forgot about it entirely

[sleek needle]

Yea same

[outer mural]

apparently they tell you to talk to mutamix and learn about it

then you can go to any

[sleek needle]

Oh ya, well, all the materia quests are there so makes sense

What is minimum IL?

[outer mural]

this is not really the place to ask, check the recruitment channels if you wish

or put up a pf

[outer mural]

every fight has a base stat/ilevel minimum. like, eden's promise needs minimum 510 ilevel

this basically means 'this is the lowest stats you can possibly have for this fight'

[lone glacier]

Yeah party finder hasnt worked. But yeah I figured help was help. Ok! Ty.

[outer mural]

and as you can probably figure, it's hard as heck

[simple zephyr]

Why is that an option?

[outer mural]

yeah good luck finding people man

it's also late

people like the challenge and preserving the difficulty of fights

a lot of fights have skipped or trivialized mechanics due to ilevel and echo

you can skip the entire third phase of eden 4 savage now because of it, it's ridiculously strong

[prime granite]

Did they remove the quest that rewards the cactuar minion?

[outer mural]

nope

!faq mounts

[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.

[slate arrow]

Shortly after this quest is available

Which is around level 20 in the MSQ

I assume you meant when and not what

But the vocate is located in every major city state shopping district

all of them at once

you dont need it to do the story stuff no

[last escarp]

I have them all at 80, I just need a gearing path for level 80 to slowly increase until I can get to the aesthete's stuff

[low wedge]

Hey guys, Im a pretty new player when it comes to tanking -- I've decided to take on Dark Knight, could someone explain to me the rotation for a level 70 DRK?

[slate arrow]

Just use the 500 white scrip stuff

It's pretty cheap and lemonade is easy to make

[static light]

How do u change classes after you've joined a guild?

[slate arrow]

Equip the weapon

[last escarp]

Will I be able to make it while still in the 71 brightlinen stuff?

[slate arrow]

Absolutely no clue.

I'd need to know your stats, but you can also get white scrips from weekly deliveries

So if your crafters are at 80, you can use your weeklies to get a quick infusion of white scrips

[static light]

this is what happens when i try to equip a staff or a sword

[slate arrow]

Then go to the guild and unlock the class

[static light]

mk ill try that

[narrow jay]

I mean ... then you haven't unlocked those classes yet. Gotta do the "So You Want To Be A[n] [X]" quest for that class.

[last escarp]

I'm spit balling here, but I think my craftsmanship is 1491 controll 1444 and cp 460

[narrow jay]

After that, just create a different gear set for each class.

[slate arrow]

That's good enough for custom deliveries

They scale from level 67 to 75 and there's 3 for Shadowbringers currently

Eulmore, and two in the firmament

Firmament ones are behind the sidequest chain

And by scale, I mean their recipe levels

They give like, 300 yellow scrips and 200 white scrips per max turn in

[last escarp]

I got ones in firmament unlocked I believe, the dragon and the one guy in the northern area

I just gotta will myself to getting manipulation unlocked on everything now

[slate arrow]

dw once you get past the 60 quest they give you the materials

And you should have

!action Trained Eye

[zinc orbit]

**Trained Eye** : lvl 80 CRP (250 CP) (0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases quality by 100%.

Available only on the first step. Recipe level must be at least 10 levels below yours.

[last escarp]

Oh snap, for real? It seems the hardest part for me is finding the level 1 and 3 materias for the low level stuff to put in to the items in the 1-50 quest line

[fluid tartan]

is there a place in this discord where I can look for a leatherworker?

trying to buy the fashion week boots off someone but not pay the crazy market board prices

[slate arrow]

Am Omnicrafter, but am unfortunately on aether

[fluid tartan]

I play on leviathan

[near path]

For the jumping puzzle GATEs, do you need to be in the ending zone to get points, or will you get points for however many Cactuars you have at the end no matter where you are?

[slate arrow]

You need to right click the exit zone to qualify as completing the GATE I'm fairly sure

[alpine vapor]

is there anything like wowhead dressing room for FF?

i wanna see what my gear would look like on other races

[tiny anchor]

how do i enter the goblet?

[knotty lily]

Might not be like wowhead, but check the Eorza Collection website. They usually have a plethora of pics even when you filter by a piece of gear.

[hardy token]

can i use a fantasia, edit a bit, maybe save a setting and cancel out, saving it for later?

[leaden ginkgo]

what do i put into it?

[knotty lily]

There's a quest if you haven't done it already, check here:
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Where_the_Heart_Is_(The_Goblet)

After thats done, you can teleport to any Goblet ward from the uldah main aetheryte (same for other main cities)

[fluid tartan]

damn I got a 73 on my first try, I did

Random Helm - Ice Blue
Random Chest - Mud Green
Random Legs - Rose Pink
Random Weap - Ice Blue

Did I lost those 7 points on not being abyssal blue on the weapon? I thought I read that any blue works

[spring lintel]

If i didn't do my hunt from the day before, can i get another 5 more hunt tasks when the server resets?

[tiny anchor]

yeah but i cant seem to enter it with said quest do i need to do something?

like press initiate or sum

[knotty lily]

This one depends on your job, stat priorities are different for each job. You might have to check The Balance if you haven't yet to see which are most relevant to you. Good chance Crit is top priority, tho

[fluid tartan]

im gonna try again with abyssal

[tiny anchor]

how/where do i use party finder?

[knotty lily]

As far as I remember, you just pick up the quest, then walk to the goblet entrance manually, talk to a person outside and/or inside, and then bam. Might have to read thru the quest carefully and follow it thru

[tiny anchor]

ok thanks

[stoic cove]

Best way to hit 80 if I'm at 65 now on DRG?

[narrow jay]

Fantasias are not used until you confirm the change. Up until that point they'll remain active on your character. I don't think it will save changes you've made before confirming, so if you fiddle around with it and then back out, you'll likely have to make all those changes again.

[knotty lily]

Oh and this is Duty Menu at the bottom > Party Finder. Then you can browse the open parties or specify what kind of party you are recruiting for.
I made a keybind for it like ctrl+p or something, I forget but good to check on that too

[knotty lily]

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[stoic cove]

oh thanks!

[spring lintel]

If i didn't do my hunt from the day before, can i get another 5 more hunt tasks when the server resets?

[stoic cove]

I should have figured that would be frequently asked

[tiny anchor]

ok thanks boss

[knotty lily]

The single bills? Yes, you can do the 5 you have on you and pick up another five. Can also do this with "last week's Elite bill", kill it and pick up another for the current week

[spring lintel]

Great
Do they have a timer tho? Like, a deadline?

[knotty lily]

Nah, I've got heavensward bills from 2016 in my key items still that I could do right now if I felt like it

Cheers, goodnight and good luck #q&a

[tiny anchor]

what level is the quest for free companies?

[polar flame]

what happens when you die in palace of the dead?

back to level 1?

[violet ravine]

Is normal to be stuck at trials and story raids queue for an hour?

[leaden ginkgo]

which raid should i spam farming for resistance relic
hw and sb

i cant select all of them

only 5

[midnight tinsel]

@violet ravine depends on what class you play and what time its

in general play healer and you get fast qeues

[frigid sigil]

is getting pentamelded aesthete gear worth it still? Or are we too close to the expansion for it to invest in that

[polar flame]

depends on the trial and the time

and your class ofc

if you play DPS you sometimes have to wait like an hour

usually it's like 10-15 min though

[tiny anchor]

how much for tank?

[midnight tinsel]

dps only gets ok times in alliance raid

[polar flame]

tank is probably very fast as well

[midnight tinsel]

but definitely slower then healer xD

[polar flame]

not so sure about that

in extreme qs I feel that they're about equal

[tiny anchor]

3 mins and nobody joined 😦

how long is usual story raid q

[midnight tinsel]

what story raid ?

the only story raid is crystla tower no ?

[tiny anchor]

first one

well dungeon

[chrome basin]

What's the name of the first quest for Stormblood?

[tulip zinc]

slapped khloe the lil scammer

i can't do anything to fix this right?

[frigid sigil]

nope

[narrow jay]

Beyond the Great Wall

[frigid sigil]

getting 3 rows is luck not much to fix

[fluid tartan]

went to go do the moogle cap so I can save some gil, saw the long ass list of quests lol

[chrome basin]

ty

[narrow jay]

not at 9 seals, no

[fluid tartan]

do those all have to be done in order to get the cap?

[narrow jay]

you can use second chances to shuffle your seals provided you've placed between 2 and 7

once you place the 8th one you're locked in

Two lines is still really good though so

[tulip zinc]

i was so close 😦

[narrow jay]

it's okay

[frigid sigil]

the 3 row price can be 1 million mgp just to maybe give you some comparison of how rare it is supposed to be

[narrow jay]

Khloe still thinks you're the greatest thing ever

[frigid sigil]

20 tickets that you can use for 50k mgp each

[scarlet shoal]

Oh my god

I'm fine done with Canopus Lux

[leaden ginkgo]

?

[fiery pagoda]

how do you kick a party member? also, can you kick a party member in potd/hoh?

[narrow jay]

depends on the step

gotta do different tier raids for different steps, so check your quest log

[leaden ginkgo]

i said it

[fluid tartan]

What is that a picture of? something in the casino?

[frigid sigil]

wondrous trails system

[narrow jay]

ahhh, for HW and SB, then ... the HW (lv60) and SB (lv70) raids

three of each

[frigid sigil]

it rewards you with stickers for completing a random assortment of all the group content in the game

[narrow jay]

queue up and zip zap zoom

[frigid sigil]

you do 9 of them and then hand in your sticker collection(journal) for rewards

[narrow jay]

yep

[frigid sigil]

it unlocks at level 60 after you finish hw iirc

[narrow jay]

just getting nine will give you roughly half a level worth of experience (it scales depending on your class), and each tier will let you choose between a subset of rewards

this is my current one; gives you 2.4mil XP at lv 61; if I swap to my lv35 class it only gives 116k

[tulip zinc]

what is the Khloe certificate?

should I bother with it or just go with MGP?

[scarlet shoal]

Allows you to exchange for items

You can check her shop

[narrow jay]

you can trade them in for things like minions or other cosmetic things

[tulip zinc]

oh

[scarlet shoal]

Minions, Mats and Glam

[leaden ginkgo]

ik its 3.. i want to know what to select to spam

[narrow jay]

any of them

[scarlet shoal]

Dress Up Thancred minion

Omega M and F minion

[narrow jay]

whichever you think is the least painful or most enjoyable

[placid fern]

Is using "macros" a very helpful thing?
Just curious because I'm just finding out that I think you can make custom buttons for inputs?

[scarlet shoal]

You don't use macros for combat

[runic cairn]

not for battle. macros don't work as well as normal skill buttons

[narrow jay]

"fastest raid" won't be a good metric because roulettes mean it could be a fast or a slow run

[runic cairn]

can be handy for other things though

[scarlet shoal]

Callouts

and stuff

letting a co healer know who you are healing and stuff

[placid fern]

So like. Could it be used to do like
SwiftCast --> Ressurection --> Nearest Down Player?

[scarlet shoal]

I meant raising

Huh

[narrow jay]

well, it'd be more like "Player in X Party Slot" or "Player On Mouseover"

[drowsy pagoda]

guys is lvl 52 with lvl 94 item lvl for the job quest "a journey of purifcation" too low?

[narrow jay]

there's no way to target the nearest KO'd person

[scarlet shoal]

Yeah?

How are you still on ilvl 94

[narrow jay]

but most healers I know use chat macros to call out which person they're rezzing so the other healer knows not to waste their MP on it

[dull valley]

is there a way to make my pixie follow another player?

[scarlet shoal]

Oh wait

A journey of purification?

Which job is that

No Lazerz

[scarlet shoal]

which job is that

[drowsy pagoda]

White Mage

[scarlet shoal]

I mean

You didn't buy Augmented Ironworks?

[dim marsh]

which dps classes are least affected by high ping? or are they all similarly affected

[drowsy pagoda]

Whats that?

[upper cove]

Ilvl 90 is theoretically enough to bring you through up to lvl 50 job quest

[austere igloo]

Sorry to interrupt the convo but just wanted to clarify: story skips don't clear sidequests right? going through MSQ on an alt but i dont wanna deal with most of stormblood once i get to it.. but i do want to enjoy the sidequests in azim steppe!

[scarlet shoal]

Go to Rowena Representatives in Major City Aetherytes

[upper cove]

@dim marsh most affected I would say MCH

[scarlet shoal]

You can exchange poetics for ilvl 120 gear

[dim marsh]

i see ty

[narrow jay]

130

[scarlet shoal]

Oh wait

Yeah

130

Then after finishing HW

it's ilvl 270

[narrow jay]

Hang on, though, because I need to remember which vendor gear outpaces Ironworks

[scarlet shoal]

56 gear

[opaque fiber]

You actually do depending on the job. DRK uses it on salted earth

But just for one ability

[scarlet shoal]

Vendor 56 or 58 gear I think does better than Ironworkd

Yeah sure

[placid fern]

Another question if it's alright to ask.
How much can Spell Speed reduce the recast time on spells? Like for instance, if my normal Recast is 2.5 seconds and I put all of my focus onto Spell Speed, how low could I get the Recast to?

[fiery pagoda]

how do u kick a party member during heaven on high?

[zinc orbit]

[leaden ginkgo]

is the side moment binded to q and e any useful can i unbind them?

[opaque fiber]

I don't know exact numbers but one time I got a 2.3 cast time. Although if you join the balance discord you can see the BiS gear for your job

Cast time isn't the biggest factor to focus on, but definitely need it lowered a bit

[narrow jay]

I would check The Balance for gear optimisation questions like that, they've got a lot more in-depth analyses resources readily available and regularly update it.

[placid fern]

Gotcha!
Thank you both!

[vernal gorge]

Hello people! I'm a SMN main. Should I wait till lvl 80 to learn an optimized rotation? I'm lvl 60 now

[outer mural]

you should watch WeskAlber's summoner guide for a basic rundown of the opener and rotation so you can at least get an idea instead of 'heehee i hit buttons' imo

[arctic sonnet]

Hello people :) Is there a little hotbar guide?
I see people have hotbars with little squares missing in between. which looks very neat, I want to use that to order my skills and such

[outer mural]

but you shouldn't really stress learning the full rotation until 80 no

[narrow jay]

60 is a good point to start learning your rotation, yeah. You're starting to approach your full skill kit at that point.

[opaque fiber]

The rotation changes each expansion but imo you should learn all of them in case you get into a duty that level syncs. Like, if you're in heavensward you should learn the heavensward rotation

[narrow jay]

From about there onward, everything else you get expands and enhances your kit.

[vernal gorge]

lol got you

[opaque fiber]

Heavensward is where summoner becomes fun for me 😛

[outer mural]

there's no guide but it's in the hotbar settings for you to tweak with them

you can fiddle with everything here, no need for a guide. you can probably figure everything else

it's in character configuration

[arctic sonnet]

Ohh hide unassigned slots!!

Thank you very much

completely missed that one when I looked over it

[outer mural]

oh isee

yeah that's pretty much it then if that was all u needed

[arctic sonnet]

[outer mural]

[dusty shard]

how to I win mahjong without any honor tile

[cosmic pilot]

Cmiiw, cross hotbars doesn’t have the hide unassigned slots option?

[atomic marlin]

If I preordered endwalker collectors edition from a free trial it says it includes the prior expansions but only on release of endwalker. would it upgrade me automatically to shadow bringers or no?

[patent citrus]

no

[buoyant sorrel]

Does it matter what kind of jewelry I use for the fashion report?
