questions-and-help

[fleet steppe]

yeah I figured getting the augmented gear was my next step

but it seems like a pain in the ass to farm

[narrow jay]

nah

the game rains Poetics on you

[fleet steppe]

unskippable cutscenes n shit

oh yeah?

alright

[narrow jay]

MSQ roulette is the fattest single source of them, but you get them for doing most content anyway

[fleet steppe]

so just keep going with main quest, clear dungeons etc till I hit heavensward?

[narrow jay]

they just accrue as you play

[naive horizon]

And do your roulettes

[fleet steppe]

I see that the first heavensward dungeon has a min. IL of 100 tho

[naive horizon]

They give poetics

[narrow jay]

yep

[fleet steppe]

you think ill have enough from just doing all the dungeons and msq stuff?

[crude hinge]

whats the command to bring up the quest icon explanation again

!icon

nope

[faint flare]

!faq questicons

[zinc orbit]

What do all these quest icons mean?

- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

[narrow jay]

Your final job quests should put you at 90 with armor, so if you grab accessories with Poetics first, and then your weapon, it'll bump you over 100 easy

[faint flare]

Weapon first

Always weapon first

[fleet steppe]

yeah

[narrow jay]

yes

[fleet steppe]

is the weapons IL 130? couldnt find it on the wiki

[faint flare]

Yes

[fleet steppe]

ok

[narrow jay]

Augmented Ironworks are all 130

Just the weapons are sold at the vendor next to the armor vendor so it can be a bit confusing if you're not used to that setup

[fleet steppe]

just finished an msq roulette got a nice amount of stuff

since im acn is it worth to level smn alongside sch or should I just focus on sch since healer queue

[boreal storm]

Which is why the sundry splendors are more recommended, they have all the gears separated by role

[spiral inlet]

is the custom deliver guy in eulmore worth unlocking after I unlocked the ones in Ishgard?

[fleet steppe]

level as in get better gear for*

[narrow jay]

Summoner and Scholar both use Arcanist XP, so they level with each other

ah

If you want to play them both, then yes, but focus the gear for the class you play the most.

[fleet steppe]

ok yeah even tho i like the fact that I can heal and damage on smn I've only done scholar cuz the queue is horrendous for dps

[thick dome]

Is the top tier endgame gear all craftable or does some drop?

[runic cairn]

smn's healing is worthless past level, i dunno, 30

[leaden ginkgo]

what do u do in eureka lands I kinda skipped all the dialogue cuz I thought it was just unimportant stuff? I know u can make ur weapon there and whatnot but im just confused what ur supposed to do

[narrow jay]

Also, if you know any crafters, see if they can hook you up with a set of green ilvl115 gear

[runic cairn]

the craftable gear isn't top-tier, it's just good enough to get you by

[hushed zealot]

So, this is a more general trivia question

[fleet steppe]

well moreso the ability to revive the healer in 4man but yeah

[runic cairn]

oh yeah fair point

[fleet steppe]

4man dont really exist past level 30 either tho so 🤔

[narrow jay]

....yes they do

[thick dome]

Oh cool so I guess the absolute best gear is found in ultimates ?

[runic cairn]

i mean, dungeons don't stop being a thing...

[fleet steppe]

nani

oh

[hushed zealot]

I found a wild comment saying
How for Yoshida to have full control on FFXIV, he made a deal with Square Enix, where the Mog Station is handled independently by someone else
Is anyone at all able to find a citation to this idea?

[faint flare]

All dungeons are 4man

[runic cairn]

not ultimates. ultimate gear is for fashion. savage raids and tomestones

[raven sage]

Unlocking and maxing out every custom delivery npc is beneficial since you'll have more opportunities for bonus scrips

[fleet steppe]

I just assumed everything level 50+ was 8 man lol

[thick dome]

Got it thanks :)

[faint flare]

8mans are raids

[runic cairn]

nope. castrum and praetorium are the only 8-man dungeons

[spiral inlet]

bonus scrips?

[fleet steppe]

oh

i see

[narrow jay]

Nah, it's a mix of 4 man dungeons, 8-man trials and mini-raids, and 24-man alliance raids

[raven sage]

At max level each npc has a certain item that gives bonus scrips when they want it

[spiral inlet]

Oh do I want to rush my rep

with one of them first?

give them stuff evenly

[raven sage]

Do it how you want to

They'll all get there eventually

I did them as they unlocked so I'm not sure there's an optimal route

[lapis stag]

Hey guys, I have some questions regarding hunts:

• I've been recently introduced with the Hunt Board, and so I had taken the marks in it. Although I have managed to find a boss from a FATE, the other one doesn't seem to appear anytime soon. I've been waiting at the place he's supposed to be like for 30m (and counting), but I don't know much about FATE and their spawns. Should I stay until he spawns?

• Is the gear -exchanged from Hunt seals- any good? Right now it's better than the one I have, but I'm unaware about how outdated it can be from other sources

[smoky girder]

for the resist wep quests that dont allow undersized parties, do undersized level sync work?

[runic cairn]

nope. gotta do it legit

[smoky girder]

aww

[junior walrus]

Gear from Hunts (for ARR and HW anyway) are mostly for Glamour, as for FATEs and your hunt markers related to them, you might have to deal with existing ones in your area so that your FATE will spawn

[smoky girder]

SB gear from hunts look great btw

[junior walrus]

Also, if you see any large enemies from low-level areas that are lvl50-60, please do not kill them unless they are your hunt marker

[lapis stag]

So do I have to deal with all the regional FATEs so the boss one will appear?

[kindred light]

how long does it take to upgrade my resistance weapon to Blade? this questline is looking kinda lengthy

[junior walrus]

not all, usually 2-3 fates and then after that another fate will spawn

[narrow jay]

it is

[kindred light]

Is it worth doing outside of glamour?

[pulsar escarp]

most people do it outside of glamour

[faint flare]

It's the best weapon

Of the expansion

[narrow jay]

On the bright side, the step where you have to get 30 of six different types of turnins only has to be done once ever per characters, so if you want to do subsequent relics, it's shorter the second and third time at least

[pulsar escarp]

blade weaps look kind of bad anyway lol and they are BiS rn

[twilit arch]

can get it done before endwalker release tbh

[kindred light]

how about going back and doing relic, animated, and antiquated?

[runic cairn]

i'm so salty that i can't make a recollection replica until i augment my law's order because i REALLY don't want to farm delubrum

[twilit arch]

you can buy replicas of previous stages

[lapis stag]

Got it 👍 I'll also keep in mind to not touch the ones you've mentioned, thanks a lot!

[twilit arch]

if you want them for glam

[junior walrus]

np! if you need some tips for hunts i can always help a little

[kindred light]

is it going to take as long as it takes me to get blade?

[faint flare]

No

Can do it in like 3 days

Slightly longer if it's your first

[kindred light]

yep it is my first

[faint flare]

Since you have a few more qursts

[heady pelican]

Why are some Jumbo Cactpot past results not displayed?

[faint flare]

Like +1 day or so for the first

[kindred light]

but I want to do it if it provides a decent story and dungeon/trials

[graceful sail]

The game told me that I need to do some quests in the crystal tower(I am assuming its the alliance raids) to progress the msq but I can progress without them. When am I locked out of msq due to not beating those raids?

[pulsar escarp]

they're story relevant, but were originally sidequests

[runic cairn]

you can't enter HW until you do them i think

[graceful sail]

Oh so I have until I finish 2.5 to do them?

[runic cairn]

yeah, but i don't see any reason to put it off

[graceful sail]

Just waiting on some friends to do it with

[runic cairn]

oh, then yeah, you've got time

[spring lintel]

what does IF grinding stand for?

[limpid glacier]

where do I redeem a defragmented tomestone

[dire prawn]

Question

Is there a way to not get Doom when doing the first Dun Scaith boss

[faint flare]

Answer

No its random

2 people get it

Per party

Just a healer esuna check

[naive horizon]

Eulmore iirc

[glad robin]

For MCH, should I do skill speed or crit hit? Besides dex I mean

Like what’s a good secondary stat

[narrow jay]

It's sort of random, but it's easy to cleanse in this case. Healers can Esuna it off, and Bards can Warden's Paean it away.

[faint flare]

Crit

No skill speed

[glad robin]

Alright

[lyric rapids]

how many crystals do i need per type for this quest?

[faint flare]

1 per

[harsh sun]

Hi guys, I'm new to the game and just created my first character, I'm in EU chaos server and can only choose Ragnarok, all the other server are full ... Is Legacy server great for a beginner ?

Is Ragnarok a great server to start ?

[twilit arch]

legacy doesn't mean anything for new players these days

it just means its a 1.0 or merged 1.0 server

its no different than any other server

[sturdy cloud]

Hello !do people consistency like the game better when heavensward start ? Or if I really dislike how the MSQ rn plays before it i shouldn't try to push it further ?

[fleet steppe]

is there a need to invest into a non-combat class (i.e. fishing)?

[narrow jay]

yes, the general community consensus is that the story improves markedly as you go through the post-2.0 patch quests into Heavensward, and only gets better as you go

[fleet steppe]

Also, doing side quests seems kinda pointless past level 50, I should be saving those for levelling up new classes right?

[heavy hare]

can some 1 help 😄 https://gyazo.com/fe571d81dabdf33ed68956383c4f645e

[faint flare]

Yellow quests are shit xo

[heavy hare]

https://gyazo.com/7b981e72c9e0de639083663d9aa13abb

[faint flare]

Do that quest

It could happen to you

For the gold saucer

Click it

[narrow jay]

Side quests do not give good XP. If you want to do them for completionism or because you're interested in side stories and background lore, go for it, but they're not really useful for leveling.

[heavy hare]

oke 😄

tnx

[fleet steppe]

not even at levels below the lowest level dungeon/raid/trial?

[heavy hare]

and when i finish 4.0 campane where i can buy gear for https://gyazo.com/01aaa72043c576d54539a3fa0944c5d0

[faint flare]

Yes, they're all shit xp

[fleet steppe]

rip

[faint flare]

Rhalgars or kugane sundry splendors

[fleet steppe]

time to spam abandon lol

gotta make way for the useful quests

[sturdy cloud]

okay thanks i'll try finishing the ARR MSQ when some free subscription days drop then 🙏

[leaden ginkgo]

what do i need to run to complete this?

[crisp mural]

Is this a glitch my msq says rock the castrum but on my duty list it still says i have to do cape westwind

Even though i did it already

[faint flare]

Because you didn't

You went into another dungeon

Cause you had another dungeon selected as well

And it put you into that

[heavy hare]

https://gyazo.com/e88ef7a2d045f1c37b2f378fdc87c5f1 LAS VEGAS?

[crisp mural]

I have the green checkmark next to it that says that i’ve done it

[amber ingot]

whats the gatherer's beast tribes in ARR ?

[obsidian patio]

None

[knotty lily]

There are none, only Crafter (Ixal) - even though they ask you to fish sometimes

[obsidian patio]

Extreme Trials, Normal/Savage Raids, and 24-man Alliance raids, mainly.

[amber ingot]

I got a lot of fishes , and i thought that i could deliver them sowhere for exp

[obsidian patio]

Give Gerolt the bow

[sly reef]

if I emote at an NPC that only appears at certain points of MSQ || (like honoroit/emmanellain at dragonshead) || what do other players see in chat?

[narrow jay]

so you've given him the three items from the elemental primals, yes?

[fickle radish]

hey, whats the fastest way to solo the light grind for anima weapons?

[lyric rapids]

whats the name of this mount?

[fickle radish]

i dont have a group for a9s so no other option

[narrow jay]

And talking to him now does not update the quest?

[leaden ginkgo]

Kamuy of the nine tails

[obsidian patio]

I’d say to either abandon the quest and start all over or submit a bug report in the support desk

[obsidian patio]

Level 50 dungeons

Most commonly run is Brayflox Hard or Amdapor Keep

[narrow jay]

another dummy check, did you do the Primal fights unsynced

[dull valley]

can i visit a world with my alt and mail something to my main?

[obsidian patio]

Unsync wouldn’t matter in this case

And if a step didn’t allow you to undersize a part of it the journal would explicitly say so

[obsidian patio]

It’d need to be an entirely different account to do so, since you can’t send a friend request to someone that’s offline.

And you can’t be on two characters at once

[dull valley]

can I buy something my alt has posted on the MB?

[obsidian patio]

Yes.

[stiff bone]

Hello guys, im new to the game, but veteran in mmo. i've heard that dps struggle in queue, and tanks get more and more everyday so i was thinking about creating an healer. I saw astrologian was the best one based on top perf, also i saw it is required to reach a certain level/expension to be able to play it. My question is, can i play whatever and be able to unlock astrologian at a certain level, or it is dependant of certain job like black mage and things like that? thanks.

[dull valley]

@stiff bone yes you can play any job

[narrow jay]

last question, do you still have the current relic bow in your inventory, or has he taken it from you yet?

[faint flare]

Yes you can

[dull valley]

and there is no "best healer"

[twilit arch]

can play whatever job you want til you are able ot unlock ast

[dull valley]

the balance in this game is exceptionally good

[stiff bone]

Thanks a lot. guys

[dull valley]

and there is no "Stacking classes" like in wow

[lyric rapids]

whats the quickest type of FATEs to solo?

[frozen carbon]

Hi, I ordered the starter edition for 9,99€, got a payment receipt.. but where can i download the actual game now

[leaden ginkgo]

Do u lose the item after u glamour it into a gear piece?

[lyric rapids]

no

[solar bison]

can u do all content even extreme and savage via duty finder?

[narrow jay]

Okay. Try equipping a different bow, so it goes into your inventory, because for the next step he's supposed to take the bow from you, and he can't do that if doing so would leave you without a weapon equipped.

[solar bison]

or are some of them so difficult ppl dont use duty finder

[stiff bone]

Another quick question about choosing a realm, i'm currently playing a lot since i have a huge surgery of my arm recently, so i am based in Eu, but playing in whatever hours, it can be NA peak time or EU Peak time. Does choosing a datacenter influence your in game MS/latency? Or just change the schedule based on wich datacenter you're in? Logically i'd say playing on NA server would give me over 200ms, but not sure.

[leaden ginkgo]

idk about savage I’m not there yet but I just did Ramuh’s extreme via duty finder

[obsidian patio]

Best to say that you shouldn’t expect an easy time with extremes

[twilit arch]

EX/Savage is generally not done thru duty finder

[obsidian patio]

And savage raids are even less likely

[twilit arch]

especially on NA/EU

[leaden ginkgo]

Ye we definitely wiped couple times but we got it done

[twilit arch]

you can certainly fine groups for extremes thru df, but you're either going to get sprouts who queued for it or mentors who got it thru mentor roulette

on the whole, the community uses party finder for extremes and savage

[upper cove]

Is there a way to fully disable other peoples minion names? I have all the minion/pet names disabled but they're still turning up

[leaden ginkgo]

Wait what’s mentor roulette 👀

[upper cove]

Cant remove my own either

[plain python]

do the third area of Eureka have monster-drop crystals like Anemos? Or it is FATE only like Pagos?

[obsidian patio]

Literally every duty in the Duty Finder that’s not Coil, a Savage raid, or current expansion Extreme Trial.

[stiff bone]

Just a quick question about choosing a Datacenter : i'm currently playing a lot since i have a huge surgery of my arm recently, so i am living in EU, but playing in whatever hours (Thanks for pain preventing me to sleep correctly) , it can be NA peak time or EU Peak time. Does choosing a datacenter influence your in game MS/latency? Or just change the schedule based on wich datacenter you're in? Logically i'd say playing on NA server would give me over 200ms, but not sure.

[dire prawn]

That sounds like pain

[leaden ginkgo]

I’ve played on NA Aether server while in Europe. No latency issues

[stiff bone]

@leaden ginkgo Alright thanks, it is a definitiv choice? Or you can switch when you log in?

[leaden ginkgo]

U can switch for $18

[upper cove]

Hang on i think I might be a pepega. Are minions considered companions or pets?

[obsidian patio]

200ms will definitely cause issues if you play a high APM/weaving class like Machinist

[leaden ginkgo]

U can visit other worlds within the data center tho

[narrow jay]

pets

companions are your Chocobo

[upper cove]

That's weird. I have mine set to never, even my own

[leaden ginkgo]

hey, when will you be able to create more characters in maxed out worlds ?

[upper cove]

I still see the names

[obsidian patio]

!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.

[narrow jay]

Did you hit Apply?

[obsidian patio]

When enough people log off

[upper cove]

Yep I did

I've changed the settings for a few days

PC names are hidden just fine

[lyric warren]

what gives best xp at lvl 13?

[upper cove]

But I always see the minions

[obsidian patio]

Go to the NPC section and scroll all the way down

“Pets” is for SMN/SCH pets

[leaden ginkgo]

and what if you are a new player ?

[narrow jay]

ahh that's the distinction, now I remember

[leaden ginkgo]

you justt can't ?

[obsidian patio]

Same thing.

[upper cove]

Ahhhh. Thanks Wynn

[obsidian patio]

You just wait for even less people to be on.

[leaden ginkgo]

oooh ok

got it, thanks

[dim marsh]

what's the fastest way to level up crafting classes from 1-50?

[stiff bone]

@leaden ginkgo Just checked my MS in NA world, got 186Ms

[near path]

Does anyone know the amount of time between the end of Ifrit's 3rd Hellfire and his final Hellfire?

[stiff bone]

@leaden ginkgo 26 MS in EU world

[leaden ginkgo]

Damn where u @ in Europe ? Idk if that makes any difference

[stiff bone]

@leaden ginkgo Belgium

But as someone mentionned for endgame performance 186 ms is too much unfortunaly

[leaden ginkgo]

Ofc EU will give u better latency but it wasn’t that drastic for me

[lyric rapids]

i got 1 each and its still not letting me finish the quest

[faint flare]

Turn them into the old lady

At mor Dhona cafe

For the nodes

[lyric rapids]

oh ok nvm

[lyric rapids]

yeah sorry my bad its been so long since i got the quest i forgot who did i take it from

[inland pasture]

Is there a complete Squadron guide?

[drowsy pagoda]

How to enable health %? and can i see total healtH?

[narrow jay]

you cannot see total health as far as I know, though

[near path]

Is there an option to always see item comparison when hovering over an item?

[boreal aurora]

how can u get squadron trainings book to change the class

[worthy ferry]

I am a Level 72 botanist and have no clue how to unlock the scrip exchange for Crystarium. I finished "Go West, Craftsman" and have unlocked the Idyllshire exchange. How do I unlock the scrip exchange for ShB?

[narrow jay]

no, you have to select it from the right-click menu; otherwise it'll simply show you the soft stat comparison

[kindred light]

Are scavean weapons originally from fighting Omega?

[inland pasture]

Where is a squadron guide?

[narrow jay]

your GC quartermaster should sell them for seals

they're also occasionally rewards for doing squadron missions

[stiff bone]

@leaden ginkgo I checked population from august 2021 Chaos: 63026
Light : 62655

I guess i'll pick the one with the best MS

[faint flare]

No, they were always tomes

[faint flare]

Savage drops different gear

[vocal zenith]

I have all the shire gear for my rdm, however my gear level is still to low to continue a side quest I’ve been doing. Is there a way to upgrade the gear?

[faint flare]

What level

[plain python]

does elemental gear +1 or +2 gives elemental bonus?

[inland pasture]

Where is a squadron guide?

[leaden ginkgo]

Uhm what is Moenbryda to Yda ?

[vocal zenith]

My gear is at 228 mission needs 235

[faint flare]

You don't have full shire

Full shire is 270

In every slot

[vocal zenith]

So neck and wrist counts?

[faint flare]

Every slot counts

[warm snow]

Why wouldn't they?

[vocal zenith]

I guess I thought it was only like main clothing

[faint flare]

Item level is all slots added together (weapons count double) divided by 13

[narrow jay]

full means gear, accessories, and weapon

[obsidian patio]

+2

[vocal zenith]

Whoops, I do have the weapon too

I have the menphina earrings and that’s it as far as accessories goes. I’m assuming to buy the neck, wrist, and earrings, I’d have to go to the shop in idylshire?

[narrow jay]

you are correct

[faint flare]

Yes

[vocal zenith]

Which vendor. I know the one in the middle but the other two confuse me. What option am I looking for the purchase these additional parts

[narrow jay]

Accessories tab

should be third on the top, looking from the left

[faint flare]

Middle vendor

Has armour and accessories

[vocal zenith]

Ahhhh okay. I’ll get to it! Thank you guys!

[little swift]

Source the claims theres no official data

[narrow jay]

....how did you check the population from August 2021, that month isn't even here yet

[worn peak]

can someone explain to me how glamour works? i have all these prisms how can i make them into what i need to use glam

[stiff bone]

Do you want me to link where i find theese numbers?

[little swift]

Yes

[faint flare]

Luckybroncho aren't official sources

[stiff bone]

I dunno if i'm allowed or not

[vapid nymph]

i used some food and it gives GP i dont see such stat in my attributes so any ideas what it does?

[faint flare]

That's a gathering stat

Gathering mana basically

[narrow jay]

Right-click on the gear you want to change the appearance of, select the Cast Glamour option. You'll get a menu with your glamourable gear on one side, and the gear whose appearances you can use on the other

[lucid narwhal]

anyone know how to unlock unlock bozja?

[narrow jay]

once you pick the appearance you want and confirm, the glamour is applied and you automatically use one prism

[faint flare]

5.1 completed and continue the bojzan story which starts with Hail to the Queen

[worn peak]

is it one prism per item?

[lucid narwhal]

What if the quest "Hail to the Queen" is not showing up?

ive cleared all the mainstory quests

[faint flare]

Then you need to do the lv70 24mans

[scarlet venture]

This may seem a bit odd, but for those in AUstralia and New Zealand, what type of ping does one get? Is it laggy? You play on JPN servers?

[hot eagle]

also need to be done with the lvl70 alliance quest chain

[faint flare]

Fully

[faint flare]

!faq checkping

[zinc orbit]

Q: How do i check my ping to the servers?

1. Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
2. Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
3. Press enter
   PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/

[faint flare]

See here

[narrow jay]

one prism per glamour cast, yes. however, if you want to make use of glamour plates, storing the gear you want to use for appearance in your glamour chest uses one prism, and then once you set the plate with that gear's appearance, applying the plate costs no prisms

[heavy wadi]

Squenix does not release population numbers and unofficial census counts shouldn't be trusted because there's no way to access that information outside of steam.

[faint flare]

Cause he has more gear

[heavy wadi]

he has better gear than you

[faint flare]

You're using the full extent of 510 gear

[narrow jay]

he also may be using food and/or potions

[faint flare]

Since you're not synced

[narrow jay]

but gear is the main thing

[faint flare]

Also spoiler image

[compact marten]

is there a discord where people recruit for extreme trials etc? or everyone just uses the party finder?

[heavy wadi]

most use party finder

[faint flare]

Primarily party finder

[vocal zenith]

Intelligence, Determination or Crit for RDM? Or I should ask, which order makes sense to prioritize?

[leaden ginkgo]

am i sync'd in town? i only get 170k in town

[faint flare]

Intelligence

No

[open coral]

Like, to meld? Crit.

[compact marten]

so for example if i want to do an extreme trial with min ilvl and like a learning/practice party, i can use the party finder and people will join?

[faint flare]

You also have party bonus in groups

1% per role

[narrow jay]

Intelligence isn't a meldable stat, either

[leaden ginkgo]

oh i see

[narrow jay]

it's RDM main stat

[vocal zenith]

Ahh okay. So if melding, prioritize crit. If buying gear, intelligence?

[errant swan]

Is the Ishgardian Restoration an ongoing quest, or will the building actually be "completed"?

[open coral]

If you're buying gear it should be gear for casters.

[faint flare]

Yes cause only gear with intelligence actuality DOES anything

For you

[faint flare]

The building is complete

[dull valley]

at level 50, is there any good food for scholar/summoner that isnt crazy expensive?

[faint flare]

But you can always turn stuff in

[open coral]

Raisins. You don't need to worry about stat food until max level content, and even then only for like, Savage progression.

[errant swan]

@faint flare Great! So newbie players can still get rewards and what not. Good to hear.

@dull valley And Orange Juice IIRC

[faint flare]

It's permanent content

[narrow jay]

sort of yes and no. It's technically complete, but since you may not have interacted with anyone in the Firmament, it may still read as being in progress to you. But it's been complete for a while, and as a result we will be getting housing in Ishgard in patch 6.1

[heavy wadi]

ishgard resto won't be going away, fyi

all of those rewards will be probably obtainable forever

[errant swan]

"Now restore this District"

[twilit arch]

no, its complete for everyone now

[drowsy pagoda]

Does this mean i cant do this mission?

when he says that

[twilit arch]

you need to meet all 3 stat requirements

[faint flare]

Yes. Flagged missions need all 3

Or it fails

[drowsy pagoda]

ahh

[solar bison]

@faint flare u said before that seigan is the best spender but it can only be used under merciful eyes

am I supposed to get hit all the times every 15 seconds

and then unload it?

[faint flare]

Not every 15s

Just every time you take unavoidable damage

Like aoes

[solar bison]

third eye is every 15

[faint flare]

And mechanical damage

[solar bison]

so it's not something i would use all the time?

[twilit arch]

youre not going to be able to get open eyes every 15s

because you arent necessarily taking dmg every 15s

[faint flare]

Don't stand in stupid just to trigger seigan

Cause you'll die

[solar bison]

i thought i would use it instead of the 25 spender

[unborn latch]

Uh so how does Blackest Night work exactly?

[solar bison]

but it seems i should use it sometimes whenever i could

[twilit arch]

seigan is "can you get open eyes" and have the kenki fo rit

[faint flare]

You use it whenever it's available for use

Aka whenever raid wides and unavoidable damage happens

[limpid glacier]

so where does the x want to me go, there's nothing to interact with

[fickle radish]

which would u say is quicker?

[twilit arch]

again, you have to get open eyes which requires you to take dmg while third eye is up

you are not always going be able to do that

[dull valley]

when scholar healing, should I be using adloq or physik?

[gusty cipher]

You need to use the Dig general action

[faint flare]

Gives you shield...if shield breaks from damage you get a free flood/edge

[narrow jay]

well first off you have to be on the ground

second, you have to use Dig once you're around the area

[obsidian patio]

I like Brayflox more

[fickle radish]

thanks!

[narrow jay]

then a chest will spawn if you were close enough to it when you used Dig

[drowsy pagoda]

So to be able to do this mission i should train one of my members with strength and mental training?

i think

[limpid glacier]

dig in what way

[faint flare]

Just level up

[limpid glacier]

/dig?

[narrow jay]

It's a specific action you learned when you unlocked treasure maps

[limpid glacier]

ohh thanks

[drowsy pagoda]

I'm one freaking point away from being able to do it? how can i get that point?

[faint flare]

Level your squadrons

[narrow jay]

send them on a different mission so they can level up

[faint flare]

Like 1 level

[drowsy pagoda]

okay

[naive horizon]

You should try and ignore physick and stick with adlo if you need to use a gcd heal. This is assuming you're still a low level to not have more ogcd heals. Abuse whispering Dawn often.

[dull valley]

@naive horizon currently level 50 so I think I only got the one 0gcd heal

[faint flare]

Lustrates are your prime healing

And whispering dawn

[quiet acorn]

Is there a possibility more mounts will be added to the firmament fetes rewards?

[naive horizon]

Yeah use lustrate over adlo

[errant swan]

Wait, everyone gets the same starting squadron NPCs??

Or did Wolfriaum get lucky

[onyx zinc]

whispering dawn is the fairy aoe heal right? how do you guys trigger it, place fairy on tank? gets annoying handling fairy placement

[stray dawn]

is earth time my PC's clock time or something?

[faint flare]

Be near the tank

[drowsy pagoda]

This is the mission that makes me able to take them to dungeons then?

[faint flare]

Earth time is real time

[stray dawn]

real time?
in game there are these three time

[naive horizon]

Just try and be near the tank/team mates to use it.

[lapis stag]

LT is your Local Time, aka your timezone

[stray dawn]

yes, but I'm confused about Earth time from jumobo cacpot

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[onyx zinc]

oh okay, do you usually just leave fairy on guard/follow mode always

[obsidian patio]

The starting 3 are the same for everyone

[broken flume]

if i pre-order endwalker, does it come with shadowbringers and stormblood like how ShB comes with HW, SB and ShB? if so will i have to wait to be able to access those expansions or will it be instant? (steam version btw, already own the starter edition with ARR and HW)

[tight mango]

So I am close to getting level 50 with BLM and getting flare.
Is it ever used?
It has an insane manacost and is the DPS really that good to break the fire 1 into fire 3 proc spam?

[fleet steppe]

can I better food anywhere other than the market?

[faint flare]

Yes you but you'll get them in November

[faint flare]

Yes in aoe

[obsidian patio]

End of your AoE Rotation during fire

[lapis stag]

I guess you have to wait until 7pm in your Local Time for a reset

[broken flume]

ok cheers

[lapis stag]

Mine is at 4am for example

[stray dawn]

fair enough, i'll try that so to see if Earth time = Local time

[tight mango]

But flare costs all 10K mana, so I'd need to be in ice to get it back for fire ?

[obsidian patio]

Depends on what you mean by “better”. Vendors start selling decent food in the expansion market areas.

AKA Ishgard/Kugane/Crystarium

[errant swan]

Neato. But only I have my Arcanist Roegadyn lady who turned up in boob plate and not much else. Thanks man!

[obsidian patio]

It costs up to 10k mana. The minimum it needs to be usable is 800.

[fleet steppe]

ah they sell better stuff in ishgard thx

[obsidian patio]

But yes after using it you’d transpose into ice.

[tight mango]

Ahhhhhhhh, I misunderstood it

[naive horizon]

You can place it but I just tend to have it with me all the time. It's a good habit to get into to stay in melee range with everyone.

[onyx zinc]

yeah i'll use fairy more often..one time I placed it for boss and left it there, didn't notice for 5 mins lol

[zenith salmon]

Weird question, but in Heavensward, I got a few cool extra lines because I was a Dragoon. Are there other classes that will also get me cool lines in Stormblood and Shadowbringers? Without spoilers please

[flat night]

is there a channel for in-game help / LFG in this discord?

[glossy flare]

Not to the extent Dragoons get them during Heavensward

Mostly it's just some unique lines for healer jobs

[obsidian patio]

Like 1-2 lines as a healer for stormblood

[tight mango]

So wait, flare does fixed damage but has flexible mana cost?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[glossy flare]

Which is why you try to use it as a finisher to your fire phase

just to dump your remaining MP

[zenith salmon]

Gotcha! I'll just stick with Drg then, thanks

[tight mango]

Then transpose into ice, got it

[faint flare]

At least until 68 where you just chain flare

And yeet f2 from existance

[vapid nymph]

stupid me forgot where ninja class location is anyone can help?

[lapis stag]

Speaking of BLM, where can I get the skills from Lv52 onwards? There aren't any quests that unlock these anywhere

[faint flare]

!faq whynojobquest

[zinc orbit]

Why am I Past lv50 Without the Abilities of My Job

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in , you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.

Image URL: https://imgur.com/IQgUjw7.png

[faint flare]

Do story

[tight mango]

Flare is good for AOE burst, but if it's a solo boss, is it better to ignore it and straight jump into B3 to get ice going sooner and getting the mana back?

[lapis stag]

Ahhh ok thanks a lot

[faint flare]

You don't flare in single target

[glossy flare]

For single target you don't use flare, correct

[faint flare]

You get single target flare at 72 with despair

And the comfy aspect mastery trait

[leaden ginkgo]

Where can I fit in Shade Shift

Can I move Hide? Since its only used in the opener

[faint flare]

You need hide to reset mudras

You can just click hide if you want

[glossy flare]

shade shift is not super important either however

nice for raidwide dmg but not essential

[tight mango]

I am on the free trial and soon I will be hitting my GIL limit, what's the best use for it?
(aside from converting it all to MGP and gambling it away until the moogle mafia comes for my kneecaps)

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a chat where i can ask for help filling a pf real quick, its taking forever to get people

[sterile oriole]

Do I have to keep setting up my ui if I try a different race? Or is there a setting I can save it and simply click

[faint flare]

Like a alt? Those are character specific

[near path]

Is there somewhere I can see the entire schedule of events in the Saucer?

[dull valley]

You can copy/paste the character config files in the FF14 documents directory, check youtube or google for a guide @sterile oriole

[glossy flare]

it's a random event every 20 minutes, there is no schedule

though you can technically figure out which event it will be 10 minutes in advance if you talk to one of the GATE keepers

[limpid glacier]

can I use any materia stat combination for novus relic step as long it's the same tier?

[leaden ginkgo]

are the disciple of hand blue quests around revenants toll and thanalan very necessary as i haven't really done any of them or can i leave them be until later?

[dull valley]

@leaden ginkgo if youre just working on the MSQ you can ignore them for now

[leaden ginkgo]

okay thank you

[dull valley]

most blue quests can be safely ignored if you are just wanting to progress the story, sometimes you will need to complete one to progress but the game will tell you when you need to.

[lyric rapids]

whats the drop rate of those atma things from FATEs?

[little swift]

Player reported rate of roughly 25%

[jade quartz]

Estimated around 20–25%

[little swift]

But no official rate

[lyric rapids]

damn, i just like did three and nothing

low level FATEs are rough solo and boring af

[mossy moss]

does dark knight not have a tank stance?

or if it does what's it called?

[open coral]

Grit

!action Grit

[zinc orbit]

**Grit** : lvl 10 DRK (10.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Significantly increases enmity generation.
Effect ends upon reuse.

Powered by XIVAPI

[mossy moss]

Thank you ^^

[low lynx]

does this mean i cant get anymore tomestones after 8/3?

[twilit arch]

no, reset is in regards to the relevation tomestone

cos you can only earn 900 per week

if you're not lvl 80 it has no effect for you

[low lynx]

Ah sweet

i panicced :3

[lyric rapids]

where can i find a party for farming FATEs for anima quest?

[jade quartz]

Make a party finder

But chances are you won’t get anyone

That doesn’t matter, you can easily do it solo.

[twilit arch]

probably won't find many people farming fates for anima tho since its fairly easy to solo most fates

[lyric rapids]

easy but so slow

[narrow jay]

easier just to run around knocking them out as you can, RNG for those is a thing

I think I spent three hours in Eastern La Noscea for one without getting it, and then got the next six within one or two Fates of being in the zone

[lyric rapids]

oof, sounds like a grind even though its old content

[jade quartz]

There is none in Eastern La Noscea.

That’s why you gotta read the requirements closely

[narrow jay]

I don't remember which zone it was precisely, it's been a while since I've done that. I just remember one zone taking 5ever before the drop happened, and me checking it every now and then to make sure I was in a place where things did drop

[limpid glacier]

where do I put in the materia in the zodiac relic?

[urban grotto]

hey, real talk, serious talk, any tips for the world of darkness raid? I went in blind on the first one did good, second one I was assured it was easy, but it went a little awry, so for the third raid give me your best gamer tips!

[twilit coyote]

Hello I just got to the game, I want to play Dark Knight when I have leveled up enough. But I want to play Axe more than sword at the start. Do I have to pick sword as base class to become dark knight later or can I play Axe at the start and become dark knight afterward?

[smoky girder]

what do i do if i have 15 luminous water shards?

i accidentally

[faint flare]

You can use any job

To get drk

[twilit coyote]

Thank you

[faint flare]

You can be any and everything

[vital ruin]

Anyone got diaex macro?

[urban grotto]

any tips for world of darkness raid?

[faint flare]

Just do the mechanics

[urban grotto]

cool cool

and what are the mechanics?

is it the same as other crystal tower raids?

[faint flare]

No

They're pretty obvious for the most part

[urban grotto]

i wouldn't know, haven't done it yet.

[faint flare]

Follow the group as usual

[urban grotto]

so it's pretty simple? like if I ask a question nobody is gonna rip my head off my shoulders if I get caught off guard?

[faint flare]

No one really cares if you're new...assholes like that are rare

Just ask if you need

[urban grotto]

i ran into some last time, the time before they were really nice, i wouldn't really know so I'm still kind of new
But I agree with your assessment

thank you

[faint flare]

People are nicer here

[urban grotto]

i agree

[vital ruin]

Angra Mainyu
Alternate the glowing platforms, 3 stacks you're dead, kill hourglass and adds when they spawn, avoid mortal gaze or you get doom and die, if you get doom stand in the glowing circles to remove doom.
Cerberus, if you're a dps stand in the pink gastric juice to get mini then stand in pink area to enter stomach,
6 headed dragon(forgot how kany heads) break heads before discordance goes off

rest is ez

@urban grotto

[narrow jay]

by "alternate glowy platforms", the whole room will either be dark or light; alternate which one you're standing on when it happens

[vague spruce]

What do I have to do to unlock the Lord of Verminion challenges in the challenge log?

[dull valley]

@urban grotto I highly recommend the MTQcapture guide videos, they are usually sub 5 min and very detailed

[urban grotto]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6vkTkhQikw you mean this? just found it oddly enough

[dull valley]

yup

[narrow jay]

yeah, they're in-depth and pair explanations with appropriate visuals, without excessive side commentary

[urban grotto]

thanks! i gotta lay down

i haven't slept in a day lol

take care

[narrow jay]

and there's no five minute intro music or "BEFORE WE GET INTO IT I WANNA THANK ALL THE VIEWERS AND MAKE SURE YOU SMASSSSHHHH THAT LIKE BUTTON AND SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHANNEL"

which is blessed

[dull valley]

yup, she is my go to for guides because of that

[narrow jay]

She also does a good job of breaking down mechanic variation and role responsibilities on higher-end content.

[stuck cliff]

At the end of the lvl 50 White Mage job quest you get the Healer equipment but you also get Cleric set which seems significantly better. Is there a reason why?

[shut wave]

So my friend and I just started playing, however when he starts his game it asks him if he wants to calibrate his controller and when he says no, it just goes to that spacy background. He doesn't get the main menu with "start game" etc so he's just stuck. Is this something anyone else has encountered?

[hot eagle]

the gear coffer was added later as catch-up gear

[faint flare]

So you get the ilvl for castrum and praeotirum

[warm yacht]

How do you get the free destination?

Do you need to use the one time code thing for that

[hexed sedge]

can someone help me? i tried downloading FFXIV and it keeps stopping and saying "cant download patch data" then shows me these numbers

[naive horizon]

Try in #technology-discussion

[naive horizon]

Yeah

Just use them as you need, when you unlock flying its easier to get everywhere

[leaden ginkgo]

why isnt this slot getting filled we kicked someone for being afk but we havent got a 2nd healer yet

what do

[warm yacht]

Do you think it's worth getting?

[leaden ginkgo]

halp ;---;

[naive horizon]

Even on the basis of securing your account more yeah

[near path]

Is the "open tournament" Challenge Log referring to the Open Tournament for Triple Triads?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[flint pollen]

hello folks

[warm yacht]

having limsa be free and being able to have a different one be half does sound pretty appealing

[flint pollen]

what npc and where that can trade with phantasmagoria ???

[runic cairn]

i'm too lazy to set up 2FA on most things but free aetheryte is super worth

[silk charm]

I bought the steam version of the base bundle with ARR and HW. If I pre-order EW on Steam do I get the past two expacs?

[runic cairn]

only when endwalker releases

[mossy moss]

what should i spend my gil on, i have no idea anymoe

i spent it on dyes

[rancid spindle]

Can I buy 2 augmented ironworks of slaying?

[mossy moss]

a lot of it and i'm still hitting free trial gil cap

[urban grotto]

i just wanna thank everyone here for your help you've all been great

[mossy moss]

frequently

[leaden ginkgo]

Is 100k per drachen augment core worth it for glamour purposes?

[runic cairn]

no one can answer that for you

do you feel it's worth it?

[naive horizon]

Auriana in mor dhona

[heavy jewel]

this is so lame, i feel like by the time i even get the aether currents i'll be done with those zones

[faint flare]

You'll be back

[flint pollen]

thx you

[heavy wadi]

you will regret not getting them on the first pass through

[hasty turtle]

will glamouring an item's looks onto another destroy it in the process?

[naive horizon]

No you don't lose the gear you just use up a glamour prism

[warm yacht]

If I don't like the auto rotate magicite thing because it tends to waste a lot of spins, could I just have a macro that toggles the offensive auto focus on then immediantely turns off auto magicite?

[limpid glacier]

where do you see if a duty has a bonus?

[near path]

Are there any quests for Coils of Bahamut besides the one that opens them?

[near path]

Like a bonus for a role?

[limpid glacier]

I farm relic light rn and some posts say there are duties that can have a bonus in that

[faint flare]

You can't see it until you clear and notice a different message than usual

Bonus windows were manually tracked

No one tracks them these days

[limpid glacier]

damn

well then 200 ifrits it is

[ripe hound]

I think you can farm in Bozja?

[runic cairn]

not for old relics

[eternal pawn]

Question can someone tell me how far away I am from unlocking the navel dungeon? My msq im on now is “power of deduction”

[limpid glacier]

I don't have bozja unlocked

[ripe hound]

Not for ARR relic?

[heavy wadi]

you can't do the arr relic in bozja

[ripe hound]

I think I heard someone said you can farm ARR relic light in Bozja and Eureka

[runic cairn]

not for any relic but shb

[warm yacht]

Pretty sure you can yeah

I saw a pic of it the other day

[ripe hound]

Yeah, since Bozja counts as “content”, “instanced content”

[runic cairn]

okay, if that's true, that's the first i've heard of it

[ripe hound]

Yeah

It’s just that it’s not popular in eureka days

Since you need gear for eureka

And you don’t need gear for Bozja

[heavy wadi]

I can't find information on that by searching so

[ripe hound]

So if you are farming ARR light, might as well farm another Bozja relic lol

Yeah

[faint flare]

It was on reddit the other day

[ripe hound]

I might be spreading misinfo too

Just remember seeing it somewhere

[limpid glacier]

how long does bozja unlock take, I could fact check this lol

[ripe hound]

About 30 min?

You also get a really really fucking cool solo instance

[ripe hound]

Also did you do SB 24 man raids?

If not then a few hours

Because you need to go do that

[limpid glacier]

which one was that

[ripe hound]

The, un, lv 70 ones

Something something tactics something

[limpid glacier]

those?

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[limpid glacier]

I miss the last one

[placid fern]

I'm still making my way through Post ARR
When does it stop being a slog? I hear that a very large portion of "the beginning" is very boring but then it picks up. When is that point?

[ripe hound]

Then Bozja should be unlockable in less than an hour if you did those 3 already

[white kite]

What are you presently doing now?

Like, quest details.

[uncut orbit]

Unrelated to the current topic, but I got message saying my chocobo's feathers won't change color anymore. (trying to go blood red) Should I just start over on the dyeing process?

[warm yacht]

Does Z actually dismount you?

I have it rebound

[white kite]

If it's rebound, then not anymore :p

I've always just used my mount button to mount and unmount.

[warm yacht]

I might have to restore it if that's the case. I hate having to click like 3 times for it to actually dismount me

[placid fern]

Currently?
I'm about to go meet up with Y'shtola at Horizon. I completed the Relic Reborn quest and I've done the... I forget the actual name, but the maze before the Crystal Tower.

[white kite]

Labyrinth of the Ancients.

[placid fern]

Yep, that one

[white kite]

It's technically separate, but still required for the MSQ down the line.

What does your MSQ currently look like? What's the quest called? Your MSQ is the icon with the flaming meteor around the ! mark.

[placid fern]

Still Waters

[eternal pawn]

Anyone know how to unlock the lvl 35 SMN quest?

[white kite]

You've got a while to go yet, Calliana

You're in... roughly patch 2.2 I believe?

[placid fern]

Ah... gotcha.

[modest hearth]

Is there a website that can help me track what stuff I have left to mine to get that sweet, sweet Resplendent Minefiend's Pickaxe?

[naive horizon]

You'll need to have beaten Titan in the msq cause the summoner stuff is related to the primals

[warm snow]

Have you considered just checking your gathering log?

[modest hearth]

I mean I know that much, but didn't know if there was a website that could give me a quick route to it all, and the cheapest route

[warm snow]

As for timed nodes you can use team craft

[ionic axle]

Hey All - I'm trying to get to second sergeant at my grand company so I can do more seal hunting. Is there any fast track to doing that or do you just have to grind FATEs and dailies?

[haughty peak]

guildheist if you're really desperate

[night oxide]

for the ARR relics, im on the book stage rn, is each book an upgrade or do you need all books for a single upgradE?

[faint flare]

All books

Have fun

[frosty ridge]

Teamcraft maybe

[white kite]

Existence is suffering

[night oxide]

all i wanted was a glowy weapon

[outer mural]

AND YOU WILL WORK FOR IT

[white kite]

WITH YOUR SOUL

[night oxide]

ILL DIE BY DEATH BEFORE I FINISH THESE BOOKS

[white kite]

People die when they are killed.

[night oxide]

have cat pic before i die

https://tenor.com/view/dies-cat-dead-died-gif-13827091

[modest hearth]

Didn't there used to be an option for the quickest route for it? I just put together a list of 40 items that I need to get to finish the achievement, although I'm not seeing the button for the quickest route D:

[gloomy bridge]

When you buy a mount in the cash shop, do you get it at the delivery moogle? I bought mine but it hasn't shown up yet, but the emotes I bought showed up

[frosty ridge]

Cant remember honestly

[white kite]

It can depend but yes, they ALL show up in the mail moogle. Sometimes it takes a while, I'm not sure what's going on in the background. You WILL have your mount, just give it some time.

[gloomy bridge]

Got it, thank you!!

[vapid nymph]

is there a way to cancel stealth without clicking it off from buffs? it would be nice if i could press stealth and press it again to unstealth

[viral mantle]

Question about the questline, not sure if it's spoiler or not so just in case (spoiler should be only ARR level):

|| What happened to alphinaud's sister? We saw her once then never again? Does she ever appear in the MSQ? ||

[faint flare]

Use any skill

[faint flare]

She went off to do her own thing. You see her during coils

[viral mantle]

The coils as in the trial? So she's not an MSQ character I guess?

[faint flare]

Until later

She's just busy

[viral mantle]

Gotcha 👍.

I am just confused lore wise so was like wait what's happening .

[white kite]

She shows up more in later expansions.

But back in ARR she was mostly focused on their Grandfather.

[viral mantle]

Because the scholar boi mentions her when I started patch 2.1 that she and him are studying stuff, but I was like hold on, I never saw her again .

[white kite]

She's heavily involved with The Binding Coil of Bahamut raid storyline.

She starts showing up more towards the end of Heavensward.

[viral mantle]

Oh makes sense. Unfortunately too noob to do coils . Well one day I will know the story I guess.

[white kite]

I'm sure you can have people here help you through it.

It's no big deal.

Finding a group to just power through the bosses so you can get the storyline is easy enough.

[viral mantle]

It's fine, I want to learn the game a bit so I don't hold people down, best part about these games is upcoming something from your own effort so want to save that feeling for now.

[plain python]

can you camp for multi spawns of NM in Eureka?

[dim marsh]

what exactly does each main stat do? and is there a quick summary of what stat each class wants

like rogue, do i go for dex? or str

[twilit arch]

if you mouse over the stats in your character screen

it tells you what they do

[dim marsh]

oo i didn't know that, thank you

[faint flare]

Strength is for physical melees except rouge
Dex is for rogue and physical range
Int for casters
Mind for healers

[dim marsh]

thank you

[spiral sigil]

any advice on how i should go about doing the coils of bahamut raids. waiting in duty finder seems to be hopeless, but im still free trial so i can't do party finder for a desync either.

[dull valley]

its gonna be hard

might just buy the game if youre having fun enough to want to do coils

[boreal owl]

does anyone know what this mount is called?

[twilit arch]

Al-iklil

[spiral sigil]

yea i was hoping to buy it when i got through all the free trial content, cuz money. Think im just gonna quest while in duty finder

[dull valley]

@spiral sigil yea just do the MSQ as far as you can

[frail fulcrum]

Can i sub 1 streamer 4x and get the chocobo mount?

[wet yew]

Is there any way to change the color of my chocobo without owning a house?

[frail fulcrum]

@wet yew fc house

[lusty oasis]

Hi! How do I go about finding a group to clear coils of bahamut? Not even at iminlvl or silenced echo. Just the normal sync stuff just to experience it once instead of going through it undersized.

[twilit arch]

apartments have stables

[lusty oasis]

Just party finder?

[wet yew]

Oh, good to know, thanks!

[frail fulcrum]

Can i sub 1 streamer 4x and get the chocobo mount?

[near path]

Do all Triple Triad NPCs have a chance to drop a copy of their own card?

[warm basalt]

where do you buy the Archaic Enchanted Tomestone

[spiral sigil]

@lusty oasis I'm going through the same thing rn and party finder is prob the best option. Otherwise, what i'm doing is just putting up the duty finder while doing the MSQ cuz im still free trial so i can't use the party finder. Have been playing for a few hours and have only done turn 1 but I'm hoping ill get through it eventually.

[leaden ginkgo]

How do I use drachen armor augments? google tells me to talk to kakalan but he says he is busy

[lusty oasis]

How long did it take you to find a group? I'm at work so I can't really test it atm

[gray mortar]

Does the companion app not give a free retainer anymore ?

[leaden ginkgo]

At what point in MSQ are you forced to do the Crystarium quests for your role?

[spiral sigil]

for turn 1 i was waiting for about 30ish minutes. but i think i probably got lucky

[elder glacier]

Hey when’s a good time to pick up a second class? I’m a level 28 marauder rn but black mage tempting me can’t lie

[urban grotto]

so how do I get machinist? I completed all the patch quest of ARR

[faint flare]

Whenever you want

[faint flare]

When you enter ishgard

You can get it

[urban grotto]

killer

[sharp surge]

So correct me if I'm wrong, but logging into the Square Enix store with a Steam account actually makes redeeming the game you bought impossible it seems.

[urban grotto]

i have been ever so patient

[pale vessel]

If I hit 80 before ending Shb there is no way for me to get the job armor before ending the campaign, right ? The DRK armor looks sweet and I wanted to wear it during the ShB cutscenes like in the trailers

[faint flare]

You have to wait until you meet the npc who gives it

Via the story

And ofc done your role quests

[urban grotto]

is there a benefit to completing every single quest in the game?

[faint flare]

Nope

[urban grotto]

sweet

[livid sinew]

it gets rid of the (!) bubbles around your minimap :^)

[urban grotto]

i am a strong, independent man who doesn't need proper vision

[livid sinew]

good so you know to focus on the msq

[urban grotto]

that's what my friend taught me

and they are wise in the ways of science

[livid sinew]

but dont forget to give some love towards the unlock quests

you might want/need some of them 😛

[urban grotto]

ill keep that in mind

[vagrant crescent]

How do I unlock Navel Hard mode? I have the normal mode unlock but not hard

[vapid nymph]

so i was in random duty with bomb queen for xp and i kept getting sleep i assume the healer was supposed to cure me?

[rich bay]

@urban grotto

It does give some background stories about the area the quests are started in.

Especially SB and ShB optinal quests btw.

[faint flare]

Do a recurring problem. It's tracked under the main scenario tracker

[crude scarab]

What should I use my allegory tomes tones on? I'm capped and no idea what to spend them on

[urban grotto]

lore? what lore? the only history that i'll ever need to know is of smith and wesson

Top left

The main scenario tracker

[hasty sapphire]

anyone know why i cannot do the level 80 dungeon roulette even though i have completed MSQ?

it has two ???'s under it

[faint flare]

Buy gear I'd needed, else sell mats. Check market board

[rich bay]

There are 2 optional Level 80 dungeons.

[faint flare]

Two optional dungeons in eulmore and crystarium

[hasty sapphire]

OH! nice, okay thank you

[vagrant crescent]

That tracker only tells me the job and main quest.

If you talking about the story the I'm at the point where it's telling me to unlock The Navel Hard so I'm trying to unlock it cause it didn't unlocked it for me if that's what you mean.

Story didn't unlocked that for me

The quest under it

[zinc orbit]

MSQ Tracker image guide

1. Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

2. An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.

By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.

[faint flare]

Os the chain

You need to do

[warm snow]

It's not just your job quest

[faint flare]

It's not always the job quest

Since you have none available

It's other important sruff as well, like the chain for hard mode primals

A Recurring problem

[vagrant crescent]

Oh ok. Thought it only showed job and main. Didn't knew it showed that too. AWESOME. Thanks pal, lol XD

[scenic cargo]

Having some really weird trouble getting a square enix account, I can't find any area to put the verification code into. Know it's not really ffxiv but I sure as hell have questions and need help so w/ever

[craggy urchin]

can anyone share some hunt -group discord

?

[craggy urchin]

where did you get your key ?

[vagrant crescent]

Fighting against a behemut Dragon thing. Do you unlock that during the story, or through a side quest?

[sharp surge]

If he bought his key on the Square Enix store like I did, there is no way at all to redeem it.

[dull valley]

where is this mount from?

[scenic cargo]

I don't understand the thing with a key, I'm just getting an account

[vapid nymph]

how do i slot materia in item?

[jade quartz]

Rewarded for getting all seven gwiber mounts from level 80 extreme trials

[verbal rune]

So I have a question

How does horoscope works for ast?

[urban grotto]

can I upgrade gear from level 50 to level 80?

[jade quartz]

No

[jade quartz]

Press once to put the buff on party, press again to trigger the buff and cause a heal to party members.
If you use Helios or Aspected Helios while the buff is active, it upgrades the buff, making it heal a greater amount when triggered.

[verbal rune]

Oh, so I understood it correctly

[urban grotto]

so I have to buy gear every ten levels or nah with tomestones?

[rich bay]

@faint flare

The MSQ tracker doesn't list Role Quests right?

[crimson torrent]

i finished my lvl 20 quest how do i join a grand company

[verbal rune]

I guess the 10 seconds timer is just for casting helios/aspected helios?

[jade quartz]

If the timer wears off before you press it a second time, that also triggers the heal

[rich bay]

The Level 20 MSQ will guide you to it.

[remote lintel]

how does one sell an fc

[verbal rune]

Understood

[jade quartz]

Transfer leadership

[remote lintel]

yeah but is there like a process or are you just like "hey wanna buy my fc"

[jade quartz]

Depends on you and them ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Advertise, get an applicant

[remote lintel]

i c

[crimson torrent]

wdym?

[rich bay]

The buyer joins the FC and puts the gil in the FC chest (deposit only).

The old owner takes the gil out and transfers leadership to buyer.

[remote lintel]

oh that makes sense

[rich bay]

There is a specific Level 20 MSQ that will prompt you to choose a GC via 3 options.
You will understand it when you see it.

[crimson torrent]

ohh i have to go to a different person

the lvl 25 one was locked i thought that was it

[west swallow]

can I still get veteran Reward with "Entry" Subcription for 2 month

[runic cairn]

entry subs count, yes

[west swallow]

nice

3rd or more retainer applicable for Entry right?

[little swift]

Entry sub is your character count not your retainer count

[runic cairn]

literally the only limitation on entry subs is character count

that's it. everything else works either way.

[little swift]

You can still buy the retainers you want those are additional fees

[west swallow]

that good to hear

[agile summit]

is there a reason im hardly getting any crafting things from treasure maps?

mostly just tomestones

[fiery urchin]

when I hover over icons on my map I don't see the names of quests or aetherytes, etc. How do I revert this?

[green grail]

[acoustic forge]

Hey all, should I be maxing out (or at least try to get to the highest levels I can) on the disciples of land/artisan classes? Like craftsman, culinary, and the like

Also is it good money to sell the stuff I make?

[twilit arch]

crafting/gathering is entirely optional

you can make good money, assuming you know what's worth selling. for the most part tho, crafting is kind an all or nothing thing

since they're going to be using the same gear and using materials from other crafters

[acoustic forge]

thanks for the info! I heard that one can make good weapons/armor from it though? Is that worth striving for?

[twilit arch]

it can make decent entry level gear that will let you skip most of the grind at end-game, but leveling crafting/gathering solely for that is going to be quite an invesment

[acoustic forge]

Oooffff, might not invest all my time on all of those then. Probs better to just grind out battles and quests that’ll get me good stuff. I’ll figure all that out later ofc, thanks!

[last brook]

For beast tribe crafting quests, does it matter if I craft items as HQ or not?

[faint flare]

Only if it asks for HQ

[twilit arch]

if it asks for HQ then it needs to be HQ

otherwise can be NQ

[teal tiger]

hey! do I have to complete e9s to unlock e10s or can I do that with a quest? o:

[last brook]

ty

[faint flare]

Not anymore, it's all unlocked

Normally you have to clear each floor in order to get to the next each week

But savage is fully unlocked now

[teal tiger]

so I only gotta find the blue quest to unlock savage right?

[faint flare]

Just talk to lewry after finishing Eden

And it's unlocked

[lusty turret]

hey i finished the story so what to focus now?

[faint flare]

In the high end duty finder

[fresh cradle]

Do leveling trials give decent exp to level alt jobs?

[twilit arch]

trials don't really give that great of exp

trial roulette is ok to queue for exp, since its generally very quick

but queueing specifically for the trials, no you don't want to do that

[teal tiger]

ooooh.. that was kinda in plain sight D: thanks a lot! ^-^ @faint flare

[solar kindle]

What do ppl think of red mages or summoners?

[final marsh]

Hello - I am now a lvl 32 maurader and read that Warrior unlocks at level 30. I finished all quests at the mauraders guild, but nothing is there to unlock Warrior. Google is saying to finish a part of the MSQ called Sylph management but I'm way past that now and still can't see anything to unlock warrior. Can anyone help?

[abstract parcel]

is there a glam dresser available for FC houses? everything says no online but i was just in a house that looked like it had one?

[manic flare]

What's the most scenic Stormblood dungeon do you guys think?

[twilit arch]

no

they haven't added a glamour dresser for houses, cos of spaghetti code and all that jazz

[rich bay]

It is random what you get from treasure maps.

[faint flare]

Click the quest under the main scenario tracker for your current job quest if you have pass slyph management

[fresh cradle]

Okay, thanks!

[versed siren]

is there any difference between FC and fellowship aside from one being rankable?

[faint flare]

Fcs are actual guilds with a chat

[twilit arch]

fellowships are just like bulletin boards

[faint flare]

Fellowships are message boards

[leaden ginkgo]

I cant seem to find this hairstyle, does anyone know which one it is?

[solar kindle]

should i try to do all purple quests with + symbols?

[final marsh]

oh it does show there and pulls up the map where it starts, thank you!

[faint flare]

Those unlock stuff so

[versed siren]

ok, gotcha tnx. I just thought there were too many flavors of group chat

[twilit arch]

its alphinaud's hair. comes with his outfit on the mogstation

[leaden ginkgo]

ah ok ty!

[solar kindle]

@faint flareso yea then?

[faint flare]

Yes..don't need to do all of them

As some are job unlocks

[knotty lily]

For the most part some yeah some no. This might help you decide
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKWDAe9g1N0

[rich bay]

Check your Journal, maybe you already accepted it?

If not the first WAR job quest is at the Mauraders Guild and it leads you to Costa Del Sol.

[flint sentinel]

What's the most efficient way to farm for the blades weapon

[faint flare]

Have all the quests active and cluster farm in bojza while doing CLL

[acoustic forge]

Oh another question! Is it best for me to just solo the MSQ and then focus on multiplayer after I’m down enjoying the story and all that? Honestly i wanna make some new friends that I can play with and do raids and stuff

[faint flare]

The story is primarily solo outside of mandatory dungeons

[acoustic forge]

Makes sense gotcha

[final marsh]

I was able to find it under the MSQ tracker on the top left of my UI, thank you

[agile summit]

yeah but like, a ton of party members getting material and just getting tomestones over and over again?

thats soem awful luck lol

[knotty lily]

Doma Castle? Or maybe Shisui or Burn, depends on what scenery youre looking for

[manic flare]

mountains/cliffs

[twilit arch]

personally think most scenic would be either bardams or swallow's

[faint flare]

Burn or Swallows

For mountains

[knotty lily]

Oh Cliffs, I'd agree with Swallows

[faint flare]

Swallows for the back half of the dungeon

[opal sorrel]

So do i need to collect all aether current in that area to fly?

[faint flare]

Yes

[gusty cipher]

Yes

[opal sorrel]

What does the yellow diamons mean

[gusty cipher]

Most are from exploration, some are behind quests (either blue optional or MSQ)

[faint flare]

Quest currents

[knotty lily]

All 15, 10 from pickup and like 5 from quests

[faint flare]

Blue quests and 1 msq will give you a current

Ontop of the field ones

[opal sorrel]

Ok ty

[knotty lily]

The last MSQ quest current is usually the last MSQ you'll do in that zone so dont expect to fly until you're just leaving

[sleek igloo]

q) i have never done any levels; i have 100 saved up. Should I do both LARGE and normal leves?

[faint flare]

Normal

Large leves aren't super worth it

[knotty lily]

Leves for combat classes = (almost) never, never ever
Leves for Crafter / gather = Just normal

[faint flare]

Less rewards per leve spent

[rich bay]

Some parties use Owner need rest greed. (Owner = One that has the treasure map)

There is higher change of rare loot on the higher floors of treasure map dungeon gauntlets and getting Red/Silver/Gold on the Treasure Map Roulette dungeons.

[rich bay]

Battlecraft leves can be useful for getting the last mile for a job

It is also used to spawn 2 S-ranks.

[lone totem]

the only worth that large scale leves has, is time

you get around 7 leves worth from spending 10

and complete it as fast as 1 leve

[rich bay]

There is a specific item you can get from the 10 Leves one.

[lone totem]

leves cap at 100, so if you are sitting at cap a lot you could consider it

if you don't plan on using them

the only item I know about leves other than blue magic is amber for the anima relic

what is the other item?

[rich bay]

Can't remember but it is a item you can trade for gear and other items.

[solar kindle]

is red mage really fast paced?

[heavy wadi]

not really

[humble mason]

Do the more normal body type races fit armour better? I’m a roegadyn right now but idk if the beefy body makes the armour look worse or

[vapid nymph]

btw once i use my code for full game on my account will i get some patches in launcher once i login?

or i need to redownload different launcher?

[knotty lily]

For reference:
On the low end. Still cool though, with every second spell being instant = mobility

[solar kindle]

@knotty lilyI don't know how to interpret this

[autumn jetty]

i'm guessing actions per minute?

[twilit arch]

yes

[knotty lily]

Depends on the gear, I'd recommend looking on Eorzea Collection and picking a piece you like and comparing between races

[twilit arch]

those are actions per minute

[knotty lily]

And yeah sorry thats APM,

[autumn jetty]

Yay, I win a cookie. 🍪

[sleek igloo]

@knotty lily , but I dont do any crafting or gathering; dont intend to in this game. My question was regarding levels vs Large-scale levels.
