the current BiS sets from the balance

[steel wedge]

Ah ok so armor would be law order for casters?

[obsidian patio]

no

[steel wedge]

Ty

[outer mural]

the yellow glow occurs on any class with combo, can test yourself on machinist or whatevs

[obsidian patio]

Law Order is i515

far too weak to beat out the i530 gear.

[outer mural]

again, edenmorn and cryptlurker gear still remains bis

[upper cove]

@outer mural alright thanknyou! I didn't test it out myself so I'm pretty sure I'm wrong anyway

[outer mural]

none of the bozja/zadnor gear is bis

[obsidian patio]

no. Each individual server has their own spawn timers

[spring lintel]

How should i hunt? should i join a LS or just hunt on my own?

[outer mural]

LS

[obsidian patio]

Or discords like Centurio Hunt

[spring lintel]

how do i find a LS tho

[obsidian patio]

https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv

[outer mural]

solo hunt is less efficient overall since ur locked for b-ranks and usually not possible to solo for a ranks

[steel wedge]

Ok I understand now sorry… so where would I get those? The new savages?

[outer mural]

hunts trains are faster and get all 12

[obsidian patio]

you ask around whenever you see a hunt train or in main cities.

[outer mural]

yea

Got it thank you

[vestal magnet]

oh shit i just completed a name change, and just now I randomly googled my character's name and someone from a japanese server has my exact name... why didnt the system say name unavailable?

[jade quartz]

Names only have to be unique in your world

Not across the whole game

[vestal magnet]

its a fuckin unique name, i cannot fathom some guy accross the ocean has the same imagination as i do lmao

i dont know whether i should feel impressed or feel unoriginal

[obsidian patio]

If it's referencing a popular media there's probably like 40 copycats

AKA any FF reference

There's probably like 10 variations of "Cloud Strife" per server

like C'loud S'trife

[dire prawn]

AKA any FF reference

[vestal magnet]

nah i chose a japanese forename and a japanese flower

Ruka Wisteria

[dire prawn]

I've done roulettes before with Aqua cosplayers

[obsidian patio]

I mean that sounds pretty likely to happen for JP players.

to make stuff from their own language.

[vestal magnet]

s/he seems to be max ish level, if he decides to come to my server temporarily to trade, will i need to change or will he need to?

hypothetically

i dont want to spend another $10

[turbid pilot]

If you're not on a JP server, he can't visit at present

[vestal magnet]

oh im on a completely different DC

[turbid pilot]

But we don't know how that will be handled when DC travel happens. I imagine they'll add unique identifiers in the bg somewhere

[obsidian patio]

The person transferring is forced to use a name change if they transfer to a world with their name already taken

[vestal magnet]

nice

[obsidian patio]

and SE already handles identical names with the world tag.

[jade quartz]

Neither if it’s a visit

[final girder]

I just bought the endwalker collecter edition but in the mog station it tells me only early access and no where does it say that i have the collector, is there somewhere I can confirm it ?

[obsidian patio]

though emotes do glitch out a tiny bit when you target something with your exact name

[jade quartz]

You are Ruka Wisteria@worldname

[obsidian patio]

you can't use the collector's edition code until the launch date

it's separate from the early access code

[jade quartz]

When you’re not on your homeworld your world appears by your name in chat.

[final girder]

I'll receive a new code?

[vestal magnet]

aight thanks

[obsidian patio]

yes, or you already have it depending on the platform you bought from

[final girder]

I bought it on green gaming and they gave me only one code

[obsidian patio]

I think only Physical Collector's edition gets their code later than the digital buyers?

Green Man Gaming is a third party site known for key reselling.

[final girder]

It's in the official revender

[turbid pilot]

wait really?

[final girder]

I paid the full price, it's not like there any difference

Same as squareenix store or even humble store

[jade quartz]

Do you mean G2A Wynne? AFAIK GMG is legit and hasn’t had problems

[obsidian patio]

That's something you'd have to send a support ticket to know then

[final girder]

On hte mog station there is no where to tell me that I bough the collector ?

[jade quartz]

Front page

There will be a circle in the “collector’s edition” column for the relevant explanation you bought it for

[final girder]

This ?

[jade quartz]

Yep

[turbid pilot]

I just poked around, looks like GMG got into it with CDPR bc they managed to undercut GOG somehow

But they are not a key reseller

[final girder]

o I odn't have the circle in collector edition but it doesn't offer me to buy it. Weird

[turbid pilot]

it technically doesn't exist yet

[final girder]

So I'll have to wait I guess

So you're saying that green gaming isn't an official reseller of square enix game ?

[dire warren]

those two should skip everything right? or do i need something else as well?

[turbid pilot]

should still get ur pre-order stuff though

That's the opposite of what I'm saying

[final girder]

Alright thanks

[dim marsh]

do I just drop extra copies of these? or what do I do with em after I use one

[turbid pilot]

there's a guy in entrance square that will buy them

the Triple Triad Trader, his in the round desk

[vestal raft]

stock up n sell em for mgp

[dim marsh]

ooo okay thank you

[viral mantle]

Hey guys, how do you get rid of slow debuff in the game? Barely got out of an aoe due to dragoons go far away jump, because slowed in keeper of lake thingy.

[obsidian patio]

If the debuff doesn't have a white line, healers can't remove it

[viral mantle]

What is esuna :o?

[turbid pilot]

it's a healer spell

[obsidian patio]

It's a debuff cleanse that healers have

[turbid pilot]

staying out of aoes is always the right thing to do

[viral mantle]

Gotcha.

[leaden ginkgo]

Just wondering, but is e11 with echo much difficult compared to e10? I'm practicing e10 now, but none of the practice parties that I've joined have cleared the 2nd voidgates, because it's hard to get 8 people doing the correct moves, and I'm wondering if it's better to spend my time practicing e11 instead.

[viral mantle]

So dps can't remove debuffs themselves I guess ?

[turbid pilot]

BRD can, but that's it

[viral mantle]

Gotcha.

[turbid pilot]

unless DNC has something I'm not aware of

[obsidian patio]

DNC only has a small aoe heal centered on them and their dance partner

[dire warren]

Thanks!!

Ok i want to know if dancer has an actual good story, because im just leveling him just to have him to 80 i give 0 f's for it i hate it so much,so should i skip the job story of it or it actual has a story thats not about going to places to dance?

[turbid pilot]

do them bc of the skill unlocks

[leaden ginkgo]

https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/101694/angelic-bunny which item gives the wings in this?

[storm sapphire]

That’s a fashion item

You get from gold saucer

It’s not a gear you equip, it’s like an umbrella accessory

It’s 500k mgp

[leaden ginkgo]

can I wear it at all times?

[jade quartz]

Dancer story is nothing very special

[storm sapphire]

I know you can outside dungeons but I’ve never tried inside. There are certain emotes you cannot do with it on though

[onyx kiln]

i feel i miss one step. trying to make my SMN ARR relic and just got past the first step and have my zenith step but neither Gerolt or Jalzahn have any quests for me

[fresh viper]

if i queue into alliance raid using roulette rather than directly picking the raids, do i still get the 100 poetics reward?

after the first daily run

[upbeat cape]

yo
I recently got a black chocobo from the ishgard msq
how do I make it my companion so I can put barding on it?

[jade quartz]

You can’t

That’s only for the company chocobo.

[upbeat cape]

oh man

[fresh viper]

you can dye your chocobo if that's what you want

[upbeat cape]

I know, I've looked into it but it's a tad bit too expensive for me rn
it can wait

[jade quartz]

You still get the rewards from the actual raid itself, but you don’t get any extra reward from the roulette itself

[fresh viper]

the roulette should still give these i think?

just not the extras

[jade quartz]

If you’ve done the Atma quest you now need to collect the 12 Atmas before the next quest will be available. ARR relics are a bit different in that you do the objectives in between quests rather than during quests

Adventurer in need bonus you can always get yes

Not really worth it just for that though

That’s not the roulette bonus itself

[onyx kiln]

so i need to have the 12 atmas before getting a quest then?

[jade quartz]

Yeah

[onyx kiln]

got it, thanks

[turbid pilot]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Zodiac_Weapons this guide is good and helps a lot

click through the different sections and you'll see what you need to do in more detail

[storm sapphire]

Has anyone tried to get the highest HP possible using all the bozja buffs? I’m kinda curious how high it can get before the stat squish.

[heady sentinel]

am i not allowed to stream ff14?

[obsidian patio]

in this discord? you need to support Kupo Bot's Patreon to be allowed to, IIRC.

just $1 per month should be enough for streaming privileges.

Also make sure Discord recognizes you as playing FFXIV

[heady sentinel]

yeah it said that its not on the white list

whatever that is

[obsidian patio]

I'd bring it up in #discord-feedback. take screenshots too to show Kupo bot messing up and your discord game status.

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a dungeon journal in ffxiv? so I can see what bosses drop what loot and potential transmog?

[obsidian patio]

nope

[storm sapphire]

There are websites that detail this though

[thorn thicket]

Okay, so I’ve cleared Hades EX a few times now... what the hell is the generally accepted method for dealing with the conal aoes from the tethers in phase 2? i’m trying not to overlap the attacks while avoiding the tanks because i feel like a second hit while you get the magic vuln will kill you

[obsidian patio]

pointing them north/south will make them avoid the tanks as they do the meteors

[thorn thicket]

Does it matter if you’re hit with 2 cones?

[obsidian patio]

it might kill you? I only ever healed the fight so I never had two cones hitting me

[stable grail]

Where can you get Tiger leather?

[onyx kiln]

another question about the relic thing. The quest "Up in Arms", is it something you do once and after completing it, just have the ability to get Atmas through FATEs if you have the right weapon on you?

[obsidian patio]

from crafting it or the marketboard. A Material Supplier in Rhalgr's Reach on the West side also sells it.

[obsidian patio]

yep. all the Zodiac quests besides the repeatables work like that.

where the quest unlocks the method of upgrading and you simply need the required items or to talk to Jalzahn to prep the weapon for stuff or upgrading it

[upper cove]

Does controller have any key binds to shift camera perspective like how keyboard does it with ctrl+up/down arrow keys?

[worthy heron]

For my miner 80 should i go for crafted gear or the white scrips? Gear

[obsidian patio]

If you don't care about getting the best possible yield in the Diadem or with 3-star nodes, then White Scrip gear is more than enough

[worthy heron]

I assume crafter with materia is better?

[spring lintel]

Which class needs the least amount of "ramp up"? I'm looking for a job for msq killing

[worthy heron]

what do you mean by ramp up

[obsidian patio]

yes, but white scrip set can gather everything the melded crafter set can

[worthy heron]

Just less optimized? I see

[obsidian patio]

melded crafter can just squeeze out more yield from the endgame nodes

[worthy heron]

So what your saying is just go for white scrips cuz im broke

[twilit coyote]

If I have two classes and one at lv60, one at lv22. Will I become lv22 when I switch weapon to that lv22 class?

[spring lintel]

For example the samurai needs the haste buff and dmg buff as a ramp up

[obsidian patio]

Definitely not Samurai and Black Mage then, maybe not summoner too.

[spring lintel]

Red mage maybe?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

[obsidian patio]

yes, levels are per-class

[spring lintel]

Do dialogues get more voice overs in later expansions?

[runic cairn]

for the main story, yes

[worthy heron]

Also last question how i start skybuilder tool thingy

[twilit coyote]

If I unlock dancer, would dancer be lv60 at the start in my character?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

[spring lintel]

I'm already in the patches between HS and ARR and im noticing a lot more voiced dialogues

[nova karma]

does this have unlimited use, doesn't expire?

Got it

[solid fog]

um.. i dont even have a single skill that is called "flourishing cascade and reverse cascade" where in the world are the "flourishing" skills

[nocturne wyvern]

They are a proc. I.E. other abilities cause them.

If you read your base combo it will say “50% chance to cause flourishing” etc.

[solid fog]

yeah i spammed it 100 times and it didnt trigger any flourishing skill it just

triggered the combo action

cascade to fountain

[nocturne wyvern]

If you’re level capped you might not have it at that level you’re capped at.

[sullen junco]

Hi guys, I made a conjurer by mistake and got to level14, should I make a new character or should I continue with my lvl10 Thaumaturge?

[solid fog]

im at a dummy at level 60

[nocturne wyvern]

I’d stay.

[cosmic pilot]

I’ve done mog questline for beast tribe. But Tricks and Stones quest does not show up

What I should do?

[nocturne wyvern]

You can switch freely at level 15 class quest.

[nocturne wyvern]

Are you on a crafter?

[sullen junco]

should i get conjurer to 15 then?

or leave it at 14

[nocturne wyvern]

Just get it to 15, won’t take long. ^_^

[sullen junco]

thanks

i just dropped it at 14 and ran to the other town to get the quest

[cosmic pilot]

It’s only for crafter??

[sullen junco]

its tedious cuz my story is across the world

[nocturne wyvern]

Moogle beast tribes? Yeah.

[obsidian patio]

yes, it's a crafting beast tribe

[sullen junco]

what do u get on 15?

[nocturne wyvern]

The ability to switch classes.

[sullen junco]

oh im so stupid

lol

[nocturne wyvern]

Once you clear the 15 class quest.

[sullen junco]

yeah i just walked over and swapped manually

[runic cairn]

is it 15? i thought it was 10.

huh

[nocturne wyvern]

Oh is it 10? Derp.

Sorry. It’s 3am. Hard to brain.

[ancient whale]

for HoH whats the best farming lvl

[sullen junco]

ah yeah, i already swapped to thau

[nocturne wyvern]

Just swap back. No need to level a new character. XD

[sullen junco]

i don't like conjurer

my thau is level 10 already anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

can someone give me a guide how to gear up for lv 80s
starting with marketboard with i510

[obsidian patio]

#questions-and-help message

[nocturne wyvern]

Market board for 510, spam highest level 80 dungeon for revelation tomestones, spam the 3 24mans to get coins which let you buy tokens to upgrade each piece of gear by 10 ilevels.

[leaden ginkgo]

nier raid ?

[nocturne wyvern]

If you want best in slot gear you’d have to do savage mode though.

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah.

Savage mode is technically doable in a mix of 510 and revelation gear at this point but as close as we are to the end of the tier you may have trouble finding groups willing to take a new person.

[leaden ginkgo]

nier raid will drop 520 gear or tokens

[nocturne wyvern]

Clearing the last boss of each drops a coin, 1 coin from the three raids let’s you buy a token.

3 coins per token.

[leaden ginkgo]

1 token per gear ?

[nocturne wyvern]

Right.

[solid fog]

when i click standard step, the color that will combo next is random right? I noticed that every time i click standard step a random color is highlighted to start the dance combo thing

[nocturne wyvern]

No, you upgrade tome gear.

[limber parcel]

Yes it's random Khun

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah it’s always different. Also it’s not immediately apparent but the step does damage.

[shrewd kiln]

Is Lost Sacrifice just a worse Lost Arise?

[nocturne wyvern]

Some new dancer players don’t know it.

[solid fog]

I saw it

[limber parcel]

if you look on your dancer gauge it'll show you the combo you need to do

Are you sure the steps do damage and you're not mistaking it for your auto attack?

[solid fog]

So its 1,2 then step dance for max perfomance

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah.

There’s a dance later that’s 4 steps.

[obsidian patio]

yes, but Sacrifice's raise works in Delubrum Savage, unlike most sources of raising people.

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks

what about i530

[limber parcel]

Am i right in that if i do another relic at 80, i need to farm the memories of dying again?

[regal pawn]

yup

[nocturne wyvern]

Upgrading the tome gear with tokens is how you get 530.

[solid fog]

And whats closed position ?

[limber parcel]

uuuuugh

[nocturne wyvern]

Also savage drops 530.

[solid fog]

I see theres 2 skills that can make someone your dance partner

[regal pawn]

You share certain buffs with the target

[leaden ginkgo]

is it easy ?

[nocturne wyvern]

A buff you put on the other dps so your dance boosts their damage.

[leaden ginkgo]

savage one

[regal pawn]

Your dance buff will apply to them

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s easier now with echo. But it’s not face roll.

[regal pawn]

alongside Devilment and Curing Waltz

[copper plaza]

Should I do PoTD solo or with random party for better XP?

[nocturne wyvern]

I cleared all of savage on content and can tell you it’s not easy.

[obsidian patio]

party 100%

[solid fog]

I thought standard finish spreads to everyone

[nocturne wyvern]

I’d always go with a party because if you mess up you get nothing.

[regal pawn]

Only to you and dance partner

[obsidian patio]

solo is intended to be done as a challenge

[limber parcel]

No, only you and your partner

[regal pawn]

the AoE is the damage

[obsidian patio]

Technical Step is the party-wide buff

[regal pawn]

^

[copper plaza]

Thanks!

[limber parcel]

When you get technical step ata 70, that's the party wide buff

[solid fog]

what about curing waltz thats an aoe heal

why would i need to closed position

[nocturne wyvern]

Closed position is a free dps buff to your party. There’s no reason not to use it.

By “party” I mean it boosts the other dps.

[solid fog]

No but it says" allows you to share the effects of curing waltz" but curing waltz already shares with everyone if i use it

[limber parcel]

It doesn't

you need ot pretty much be standing on top of the person you want to heal, the radius isn't huge

but if you have closed position

it goes off twice

both on you and your dance paratner

partner*

so you get 2x the value

[solid fog]

wait i need the said skills buffs to be active and then use closed position?

[limber parcel]

No, use closed position at the start of a dungeon/trial

Then that's it. it's on them for the rest of the dungeon

[solid fog]

so if i have closed position on a member and im very far and i use curing waltz they will heal and heal the nearby members too ?

[limber parcel]

yes

[stray dawn]

is there a way to know if you have an emote/song/minion from the shop?

[runic cairn]

there's a xivlauncher plugin for that

otherwise, no

[obsidian patio]

There is an upper limit for your skills reaching your dance partner, but you practically never encounter it in most content

it's like 40 yalms

[stray dawn]

was that meant for me?

[gritty oracle]

Is there any way to macro /random? It's tedious to write it every time.

[versed siren]

Do I need to have the source of the glamour to use it or is it enough to have "collected" that piece? If the former, is the glamour source consumed?

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[obsidian patio]

You need to keep the item if you plan to use it multiple times

Practice makes perfect

[nocturne wyvern]

It also does get some changes as you level which alter the rotation.

[proven wing]

Is any materia I used on cryptlurkers gear a complete write off when I augment it?

[nocturne wyvern]

But the basic premise never changes, empty your mp bar with fire, refill it with ice. Repeat forever.

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah but you can remove materia.

It even warns you beforehand.

[proven wing]

How?

[compact bridge]

i see that mechanic but im confused as with blizzard 1,2 3,4 and fire 1,2,3,4 when to use wich one and what about the thunder spell

[nocturne wyvern]

Right click it, retrieve materia.

[nocturne wyvern]

Well fire 2 and blizz 2 are only for aoe.

[proven wing]

What does Extract materia do?

[nocturne wyvern]

Extract is when your spirit bond is 100% and creates materia.

[nocturne wyvern]

From there the use of the other blizzard/fire spells depends on your level.

[obsidian patio]

Thunder is a damage over time spell you keep up on the enemy.

[nocturne wyvern]

You should only cast thunder during your ice mp recovery phase.

[proven wing]

Should I be extracting materia whenever possible?

[obsidian patio]

F3/B3 are primarily used to swap between the fire and ice stances

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

[knotty snow]

How can I get Mist Silk ?

[obsidian patio]

F2/B2 are your aoe spells, but get outclassed at the higher levels

[knotty snow]

need it for a glam item rip

[obsidian patio]

Unhidden Treasure Maps

[nocturne wyvern]

Boarskin maps.

[compact bridge]

so once i unlock f3 and b3 i dont use the 1 versions anymore ?

[nocturne wyvern]

You still use F1.

[knotty snow]

I been trying that no luck I heard potd is sorta easy for mist silk

[obsidian patio]

F3 costs too much mana and takes too long to cast to replace F1.

B1 is still used as a filler during ice phase until you get B4

[indigo dragon]

Is there a certain place one could go to get macros for ex/savage fights

[coarse leaf]

is there a way to make inventory bag UI bigger when its open all?

[obsidian patio]

right-click the top border of the window and it should give an option to scale it

that should be doable for all UI windows

[nocturne wyvern]

What do you mean? For mechanics?

[indigo dragon]

yea

[nocturne wyvern]

I don’t know of wheee to get any premade ones sorry.

[harsh sun]

Hi guys, is black mage good for a beginner ? 🙂

[obsidian patio]

yes

Though it is cursed with a bit of "rotation changes every 10-20 levels"

[nocturne wyvern]

Every class starts out pretty easy. The idea is that as you get new stuff you know enough about how it plays to understand how it changes your gameplay.

There’s always guides though.

[limber parcel]

If i do a level 60 dungeon on a job that isn't 80

Do i still get the bitter memories required for the relic?

So long as i have the will to resist quest

[obsidian patio]

yes.

[limber parcel]

Ok thanks

[reef turtle]

Hey! as a Free trial is it hard to find raids ? like the first raid in the game, the crystal tower one

[obsidian patio]

free trial doesn't make a difference for queue times.

they share the same queue as regular players.

Crystal Tower should generally have a good queue time since it's required for the story.

[reef turtle]

i mentioned Free Trial because i can't create a party finder or invite people to parties etc

[obsidian patio]

(unless you're a tank, then it's the one type of content to where you'll probably have to wait in a queue for a fair bit)

[runic cairn]

you do everything mandatory through duty finder anyway

[obsidian patio]

24-man raids can be done in the duty finder just fine.

[reef turtle]

Oh fuck, soooo i'm fucked? xD

[obsidian patio]

In terms of the general difficulty scale/pyramid, they're a bit harder than dungeons.

[reef turtle]

That's nice

[reef turtle]

Got it, ty very much!

[ornate roost]

i just hit level 60 and finished MSQ heavensword. and i got some decent gear from job quest. whats the next main priority now? how to improve gear

[obsidian patio]

you can spend tomestones of poetics in Idyllshire or by the Ishgard aetheryte on i270 Shire gear.

and you keep getting gear through the HW patch story.

[ornate roost]

thanks

[obsidian patio]

buy gear in Eulmore.

[nocturne wyvern]

Use revelation on body and legs first, those give the most stats.

[obsidian patio]

ehh, I'd put a bigger focus on weaker ilvl slots for Revelation

for quickly getting up average item level to do more content

[nocturne wyvern]

You get more average item level from left side pieces that aren’t belt.

[obsidian patio]

each slot has equal weighting

[nocturne wyvern]

The pieces aren’t weighed equally.

[obsidian patio]

yes they are, it's easy to test by having everything be the same item level and taking a thing off.

[rich gazelle]

hi, is the ||ishgard|| restoration event temporary or permanent?

[obsidian patio]

permanent.

[rich gazelle]

ok thanks!

[nocturne wyvern]

Didn’t they say it was going away when it launches?

The official housing I mean.

[obsidian patio]

There's been no mention of the restoration or Fetes ending

[nocturne wyvern]

They’ll probably put the fetes in a separate version of the zone from the housing then. Or at least I hope so.

[obsidian patio]

Same thing for Allegory, really. spend them as you get them for replacing your gear.

Just don't use them for slots you plan to upgrade with revelation.

[nocturne wyvern]

Good idea. Item level weight or not, you’ll get a better stat boost from left side.

[cedar horizon]

I saw an emote that a player did as a Lala when I was watching a streamer and it was the most creepiest emote ever. The Lala's eyes turned all red and just looked so much scary. What is that emote, and how can one obtain it? 👀

[nocturne wyvern]

Warrior gets an ability to make their eyes turn red.

Might not have been an emote.

[outer mural]

that’s not an emote

level 70 on warrior and finishing job quests to 70 yeah

[storm sapphire]

Nostrils if you wear a frog mask

[cedar horizon]

Ohhh gotcha

thats actually really cool

and so perfect for a lala lmao

[obsidian patio]

Blue Mages also get a similar effect with another skill

[nocturne wyvern]

It fits in with warrior’s lore about controlling their inner rage and harnessing it etc.

[obsidian patio]

!action moon flute

Blue Magic

This technique imitates a peculiar flute wrested from the grasp of a vanquished voidsent. Said creature was initially welcomed as a god by those New World peoples who worship the moon, but it soon became clear to them that the flute was the true source of its power and cruel authority.

Moon Flute too ye

[cedar horizon]

How do I get a Moon Flute?

[obsidian patio]

it's a blue mage action, not an item.

[cedar horizon]

Ohhh okay

[outer mural]

play BLU and do the 10 stages of masked carnivale as stated above

[storm sapphire]

Complete 10 stages in the masked carnival

[cedar horizon]

Also if a Blue Mage is like so powerful and op its a major meme in the FF community why does no one use it?

[nocturne wyvern]

I always forget those are a thing. I just did the stages for the class quest.

[outer mural]

you get something different from ||Tsukuyomi|| as BLU

[nocturne wyvern]

Because it’s capped at 70 when the current cap is 80 and can’t go in to most content.

[cedar horizon]

Ohhh gotcha

[leaden ginkgo]

would you guys say its better to wait until i max out one class to level 80 before doing alt job leveling?

[nocturne wyvern]

The ten levels alone locks it out of endgame completely.

[dusty laurel]

What is a lightning/earth/water etc... Archon Eggs for? I have a handfull from 2011 but have no idea what to do with them and I can't find much info.

[outer mural]

it’s mostly used for unsync solo and level 70 synced stuff

[obsidian patio]

useless items now

[storm sapphire]

Blu is great for farming fates too

[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

[obsidian patio]

IMO yes

[nocturne wyvern]

I prefer to cap something first. But that’s just me.

[obsidian patio]

lots of stuff look overly bulky or too long on roegadyn

[dusty laurel]

cool, so selling them for anything is better then keeping them. THanks!

[outer mural]

depends on what you like, Male Roe is definitely on one end of the size scale where it does look off to people

[obsidian patio]

you might be able to sell them for a lot on the marketboard

[warm snow]

The simplest explanation is: because its a joke job, a side mode. So ridiculous and unbalanced that you're not allowed use it for most regular content

[cedar horizon]

fr. I need a blue mage to farm fates lmao. Cuz I see them pull in like a dozen enemies and they kill them almost instantly lol

[leaden ginkgo]

ty!

[outer mural]

Other side of the coin compared to lalafell

[obsidian patio]

people like buying old collectables/novelty items

[humble mason]

Would the normal body races be everything but lalafel roegadyn and the lion dude?

[nocturne wyvern]

I mean I usually assume folks play male Roe because they want to be a buff boi.

[solemn sequoia]

Anyone having issues with getting account wide items on other characters?

[outer mural]

people also go for male highlander for buff boys

really depends on what buffness you want

beef is in the eye of the beholder

[nocturne wyvern]

I play a male Elezen. So all my gear is long.

[warm snow]

Beautiful

[humble mason]

I wanted to be a buff boy at the start, but looking at all the cool people in the big towns makes me regret that decision a bit

[outer mural]

i play lalafell so play what looks good to you

[nocturne wyvern]

You might like male highlander.

It’s a good compromise imo.

[storm sapphire]

It takes a while sometimes, I remember waiting a day or so before some appeared on another char of mine

[outer mural]

you say that but maleroe can ooze style tbh, they pull off plate like no one else

[humble mason]

Not too buff, not too beanpole

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be

[solemn sequoia]

Cause I got this a few days back, so I was a bit worried I got scammed by SE

[storm sapphire]

You can click something on top of the moogle mail menu to send a request to update or something

[solemn sequoia]

I sent it as a gift to my friend, does that also work?

[nocturne wyvern]

Nah it’s not that. It’s something related to their payment processing vs the system that sends items out. I’ve heard people waiting hours sometimes for things. Even days.

[gritty oracle]

Is it easy to single heal ruby now?

[outer mural]

also use cmtooks to check out body types for race and armor

[solemn sequoia]

Ahhh ok thanks~

[storm sapphire]

If people do their mechanics right, yeah

[obsidian patio]

Nael adds might be tough depending on which aoe they use but it's definitely doable

[nocturne wyvern]

I mean the ease or difficulty of solo heal has always been dependent on how good or bad the party is.

At the 520-530 ilevel I imagine it’s doable.

[storm sapphire]

Anecdotally speaking though, it’s just faster to have 2 healers if you’re putting up a pf, people mess up quite a bit

[neon fog]

Where do I spend white scrips

[nocturne wyvern]

Also in the mailbox there’s a button that you can hit to request your mog station items faster. You can try that a few times or what I started doing: buy any mog station items before I go to bed. It’s usually there in the morning.

[nocturne wyvern]

Eulmore.

[lament forge]

Is it best to level your first character to 60 before buying expansions? It seems that its free until then. Am I missing anything important as a new player being on the free play package?

[solid fog]

whats the difference between standard dance and technical dance in pvp?

[neon fog]

Do I have to finish ShB story to access vendor?

[nocturne wyvern]

Uh wait. I think you can use in idyllshire.

It’s been a while.

[neon fog]

I'll go have a look, just started ShB msq

[nocturne wyvern]

You can level to 60 but you can’t level past 60 unless you get Stormblood.

If you don’t you’re leaving a lot of exp on the table if you continue the 60 msq.

[nocturne wyvern]

Let me know for my own future reference. ^_^

[lament forge]

ok thanks, i will make sure i buy the expansions before then

[proven wing]

Does Battle-Ready Bobs work on viera?

[nocturne wyvern]

No.

[nocturne wyvern]

So at the race selection if you want that hair I guess the question is 2b or not 2b?

I’ll see myself out.

[proven wing]

Well, at least I can make a bit of gil off this

[agile laurel]

Honestly, if you're hrothgar or viera and you're asking if an aesthetician hairstyle works, the answer is more likely to be no than yes

[last mural]

If i bought the game through the SE website, can I play the game through steam without buying the game again?

[nocturne wyvern]

No.

[agile laurel]

nope. no interconnectivity

[nocturne wyvern]

Steam version is separate.

[last mural]

I see

[proven wing]

Also, how do I upgrade cryptlurker gear? I have a bunch of coins ready

[nocturne wyvern]

There’s an npc that sells the tokens at the row of desks.

To the right of the tomestone one.

[neon fog]

Theres not white scrips here, idk how to unlock it

[nocturne wyvern]

Then yeah… shb story.

[neon fog]

Ok, thanks 🙂

[agile laurel]

you need to exchange coins for the items at the token exchange dude, and then go to the gear exchange dude

[hasty turtle]

how do i access palace of the dead

doesn't show up in the duty finder

[proven wing]

What's the best thing to do with old augmented exarchic gear? GC seals?

[proven wing]

Go to quarrymill and talk to the npc

[hasty turtle]

i should've done the quest already

[proven wing]

you need to queue from quarrymill every time

[nocturne wyvern]

I usually just desynth everything, gc seals otherwise.

[swift pasture]

are all beast tribes crafter/gatherer oriented?

[nocturne wyvern]

No.

Most of them are combat based.

[obsidian patio]

the non-combat tribes are Ixal (ARR Crafter), Moogle (HW Crafter), Namazu (SB Crafter/Gatherer), Qitari (SHB Gatherer), and Dwarves (SHB Crafter)

[modest drift]

Guys!

i asked a few days agos the same but didnt got a reply that could be helpful enough

anyway you know to make gil decently??

i dont want to become rich, but neither my retainers are selling alot 😦

most of my lands are +70
And crafters are +60-+70

[nocturne wyvern]

Weekly challenges help. The completion bonuses are pretty high. Something like 50-60k a week if you do all of them?

There’s also camping the market to see what sells and gathering them.

[final girder]

Anything that I can buy ( with gils) or craft at lvl 50 to get to ilvl 90 ?

[modest drift]

camping the market?

[nocturne wyvern]

Along with the adventurer in need bonuses for dungeons.

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah, look what you can gather and look at the mb prices.

[modest drift]

ooooh ik

but didnt tried with the historial option

[nocturne wyvern]

I believe there’s quest reward gear to do that which provides a higher item level?

Job quest stuff and such.

[final girder]

It's for an alt

[nocturne wyvern]

Buy the ilevel 115 gear in ishgard.

Easiest way to boost a new 50 up.

Just need someone to help move it to the alt.

[final girder]

Ishgard need to have completed msq60 ?

[nocturne wyvern]

I mean if I had a new 50 alt, I’d buy the gear on my main and have a friend trade it to the alt.

[final girder]

By alt i meant, another job

Sorry

[swift pasture]

Thank you very much!

[nocturne wyvern]

Oh… gotcha. Do you know anyone with Ishgard access willing to spot you the gil? XD

[copper plaza]

If it says this when I try to queue PoTD does that mean my current gear or my Deep Dungeon gear?

[obsidian patio]

deep dungeon

[nocturne wyvern]

Deep dungeon.

[copper plaza]

How do I upgrade it?

[nocturne wyvern]

You’ll have to run the previous floors a few more times.

And get silver chests.

[copper plaza]

Ohhh

I see

[final girder]

I odn't know anyone but just to confirm it's msq lvl 60 to get to ishgard, right ? Nothing on market board ?

[copper plaza]

If one person opens it everyone gets it right

[nocturne wyvern]

50 msq.

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes and you don’t have to be near it.

[final girder]

I'm 50 but 2.1

[nocturne wyvern]

Just focus on the main job and quest rewards for now and go back to gear up the alternate jobs later imo.

[copper plaza]

So do I reset progress or just run alternative save file?

[obsidian patio]

you can use the other save file

aetherpool level is independent of your save files

[nocturne wyvern]

I’d use a new save and see if that gets me high enough to continue on the first one.

Rather than restarting.

[final girder]

I guess I'll do that, it was just to use up the daily roulette scenario on an other job becasue I'm on a prefered server and my main is already lvl 60 even though I'm lvl 50 msq

[copper plaza]

I see. thanks!

[proven wing]

Is the heavy wolfram's set I got from DRK quest actually AF gear? Doesn't look it

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s not.

It’s just a starter set.

[proven wing]

Also is the menphina's earrings better than all others level 70 or below? (Not counting ultimate bis)

[agile laurel]

i forget its stats. does it just have determination?

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s not bis but don’t swap it out.

Not while you need exp anyway.

[spring lintel]

What patch do i have to do crystal tower to progress the msq?

[proven wing]

Just wondering whether I can trash all my low level earrings for GC

[nocturne wyvern]

I would.

If you need exp don’t ever remove it. XD

[limpid glacier]

why don't I have eden promise savage in my duty finder but can join those intances?

[nocturne wyvern]

Promise Savage is the most recent tier, that means it’s not in the df.

[nocturne wyvern]

I don’t know the specific patch but it will stop you eventually. I’d just keep going until then.

[shell skiff]

Are there any skills in Final Fantasy you can only get through dungeons ?

[agile laurel]

no

well, not unless you're blue mage

which is side content

[nocturne wyvern]

Not unless you’re a blue mage.

[shell skiff]

Thanks

[agile laurel]

and not relevant

[humble mason]

Anyone know how much a Fantasia costs to buy after the first free one?

[nocturne wyvern]

Your skills are learned via leveling and your job/class quests.

[nocturne wyvern]

I think it’s $10 usd for one.

[outer mural]

Ten dolla usd

[nocturne wyvern]

Not sure what region you are.

[agile laurel]

no offence, but that was a really easy google - £5.75

[outer mural]

check yo mogstation

the price will be in the cosmetics shop as it contains fantasia

[humble mason]

Usually just converting usd to aud doesn’t come out at the right price I’ve found

[outer mural]

aye just check mogstation on ur end to verify

[agile laurel]

Huh. okay. yeah, best to do that if you're able then

[shrewd kiln]

How long does the zadnor relic stage take? What's the droprate for all 6 kinds of items?

[agile laurel]

skirmishes drop guaranteed 1 if gold participation

CEs drop guaranteed 2 of the other

divided by zone

alex items bottom, omega items middle, eden items top.

[gray sky]

Is this the thing i should buy? Except for Baldwalker when it releases, i mean Endwalker

[agile laurel]

it still takes a fuckin minute, obviously

[nocturne wyvern]

I believe so yes.

Get all the things. XD

[gray sky]

That's hella cheap too

[nocturne wyvern]

Luckily you only need to do a lot of that nonsense once.

[nimble bay]

When do I get to go to Old Gridina?

I started in the sand place

forgot its name

[alpine shadow]

when endwalker releases, you would want to buy that, you would still make sure it says that it includes endwalker

[nocturne wyvern]

There’s an msq quest where you will take an airship to the other cities. That’s the easiest way since you can attune to the main aetheryte.

[nimble bay]

ah

do you know when that comes around?

[nocturne wyvern]

I think 15? But it’s been a while.

[nimble bay]

i got to La Nocesea

just go to

got

[steady hollow]

Hey guys so I just got into shadowbringers and decided to finally start using my companion for extra DPS… is it going to be very underpowered because I never leveled it up?

[coarse leaf]

I can just retrieve materia with no consequence/cost?

[nimble bay]

no option for Old Gridina

[river oasis]

for dark knight living dead, what happen if i reach to 0 hp when the buff have 1 second left. Does the healer only have that amount of time to heal me

[brittle blaze]

Hi, got a problem with a quest, mby I’m stupid but on “Where the heart is” it say that I have to go to lavander bed but he say is not working 🤔

[nocturne wyvern]

High level materia can fail to be retrieved.

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

[river oasis]

[nocturne wyvern]

The bird scales to your level but it won’t have its full dps moves since it’s lower rank.

[steady hollow]

Ok, do I control it’s moves or is it AI ?

[nocturne wyvern]

AI.

[steady hollow]

Also thank you:)

[alpine shadow]

try talking to Emblyn in Central Shroud (x25.2, 28.1)

[steady hollow]

Cool!

[nocturne wyvern]

As it ranks up it gets access to other moves. However! You can set it to dps stance to only use dps moves, healer stance to only use healer moves, etc.

[brittle blaze]

Ok i try

[nocturne wyvern]

But I wouldn’t count on it to save your life.

[shrewd kiln]

What's the best way to grind resistance rank? I'm at 17 and have access to lower zadnor

[nocturne wyvern]

Zad fates.

[steady hollow]

Right, I’m doing MSQ as WHM so I can use the extra dps

[nocturne wyvern]

Remember to get each rank up also! The reward scales.

[copper plaza]

What does this mean?

[nocturne wyvern]

So higher ranks will boost the mettle you earn.

[oak ice]

It means clean out your inventory

[copper plaza]

But it's half empty

[oak ice]

Huh

Then keep going

[nocturne wyvern]

If you max out your birb to rank 20 it can have all the dps, tank, and healer tree moves.

[oak ice]

Probably something people have reported on losing rewards from because they had full inventory, so the warning was put in

[copper plaza]

Okay

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s just a warning to make sure you have inventory space.

[humble mason]

Can I buy stuff off mogstation if I’m still on free trial, or would I have to wait until I upgrade

[nocturne wyvern]

I would say wait until you upgrade and make the plunge in to the game before spending in the cash shop.

Because you may change your mind.

[brittle valve]

is there a transparent top like a transparent glove for glamour?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

[leaden ginkgo]

Do classes of the same role calculate potency roughly the same?

[copper plaza]

Gear does not matter in PoTD correct? as in your real gear

[nocturne wyvern]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/97254b85b86

[nocturne wyvern]

Correct.

[copper plaza]

Nice

[nocturne wyvern]

What do you mean?

[noble kernel]

hey i accidentally completed a mainline quest in my alchemy gear instead of gladiator gear and saw that I levelled up as an alchemist, did i also gain experience as a gladiator? i can't tell

[nocturne wyvern]

Like do they have equal dps?

[nocturne wyvern]

You did not.

[nimble bay]

Your level scales with class?

[copper plaza]

I think they mean, does for example 200 potency equal same damage on BLM and SAM

[nimble bay]

Ive been level 18

[noble kernel]

wow that's surprising

[nimble bay]

Eqipped lancer thing

now im level 1

[leaden ginkgo]

like if my NIN and MNK are the same level with the same gear, can I just look at their potencies?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

[leaden ginkgo]

to know which does more damage in which situation

[nocturne wyvern]

Each class is its own leveling.

[nimble bay]

So for all intensive purpose im level one now

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

[noble kernel]

so i can just complete any quest even if it's unrelated to alchemy and level up as an alchemist?

[nimble bay]

thats crazy

i thought level was universal

and class level was a side thing

[copper plaza]

Also is worrying that I will struggle on Job quests when only leveling on PoTD reasonable? Since I won't get gear to match my level

[nocturne wyvern]

Nope.

[nimble bay]

damn

[brittle blaze]

@alpine shadow nope he say to proceed with quest “Where the heart is(The lavander bed) you may visit any resident ward within the lavander bed

[nocturne hinge]

quests have locks on what level you can be to turn them in but otherwise yes you can

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah but I wouldn’t and there are restrictions on certain ones.

[alpine shadow]

yeah, you have to talk to the ward guy to visit a residential ward?

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s an issue yeah, it’s why I don’t recommend leveling in potd. >_>

But you can find vendors with gear if you need to.

[nocturne wyvern]

Sort of? Potency doesn’t count stat modifiers.

[brittle blaze]

@alpine shadow so I have to talk the guy next to him and visit s residential guy?

[alpine shadow]

if that's the one that leads to the ward, yes

[brittle valve]

can other people see my character nude if i downloaded nude mod? lol

[nocturne wyvern]

Only if they have the same mod.

[faint flare]

No

Mods are client side

[brittle blaze]

Ok

[grand trail]

Is it true that if I buy shadowbringers I will also unlock all previous expansions?

[faint flare]

It gives you stormblood

[copper plaza]

Got it

Thanks!

[storm cosmos]

trying to put ARR PLD relic into glamour dresser but it's not showing up? do I need to have the item bound to me first?

[nocturne wyvern]

I don’t think so.

If it’s not showing up it can’t go in.

[naive horizon]

You can't put the relic itself in only replicas

[storm cosmos]

oh you're right the icon on the tooltip is greyed out, cheers

[vestal cobalt]

is there a crafter levelling guide here?

[honest anvil]

#doh-dol-lounge 📌

[vestal cobalt]

oh thanks

[honest anvil]

love the ultimecia profile pic :3

[dusty bolt]

does anybody use mopi mopi that can help me really quick?

[agile laurel]

and sorry about this - you'd need to do the entirety of the relic weapon questline to purchase any of the replicas that can go in glamour dresser

it's really annoying and only the case for ARR relic, for good reason

[storm cosmos]

not surpised tbh everything about arr relics is hellish

[frank dune]

so i'm on 'The Light of Inspiration' quest, but i'm already lvl 80 and the quest is asking me to do a job quest before i can carry on? (the quest is locked if i don't do it). i've read online that people have had to lvl up a new job to complete this quest, is this true or is there a quest i can do to carry on? i'm a lvl 80 BRD

[leaden ginkgo]

does anyone have a good resource/guide to tanking in raids? i've only played DPS in raids so far, and am not really not sure how TBs/tank swaps are usually handled as well as enmity building

[nocturne wyvern]

You have to do your role quests.

Starts in the crystarium.

[nocturne wyvern]

So swaps are based on the specific boss and Tb’s always happen at the same intervals.

[frank dune]

alright thanks, i hope it works D:

[leaden ginkgo]

i think theres just some parts which are a bit confusing to me, eg on E11s i usually see the OT provoke after powder mark? not really sure why though

[nocturne wyvern]

Enmity building is a matter of provoke and shirk when you need to swap otherwise one tank pulls with tank stance on and the other tank is a glorified dps until it’s their turn.

[nocturne wyvern]

Powder mark is a powerful hit which puts an explosive second hit on the tank that’s targeted. You voke because if the boss autos the person with the bomb they instantly explode.

[harsh sun]

Hi guys, I'm stuck at the quest "call of the sea", I need to go to Noscea but I really don't know how to do it ...

[nocturne wyvern]

Swapping allows the marked person to bring the bomb somewhere safe.

[leaden ginkgo]

ah i see lol, will probably try giving a go at tanking soon

[nocturne wyvern]

Airship from your starter city to Limsa?

Or can you provide a bit more context?

[dapper oyster]

Hi giys, so my friend to install ffxiv and it says failed to download this patch

He tried to download the free trial version and he tried like at least 10 times yet still got the same error

[harsh sun]

Starter city is Thanalan ?

[dapper oyster]

Is this the right place to ask this kind of issue tho? ._.

[nocturne wyvern]

You should have gotten an msq quest to take the airships and learn how they work.

[nocturne wyvern]

I dunno. Running as admin?

[zenith salmon]

best way to earn MGP?

[oblique surge]

anyone knows how to fix this? I upgraded my FT account and cant log in eversince

[nocturne wyvern]

Play whatever mini game you’re best at between gates, complete challenges, and do gates when they pop.

[nocturne wyvern]

Try again later.

[dapper oyster]

Here is the error he got

[zenith salmon]

Is triad an option?

[nocturne wyvern]

If you can win consistently.

I usually play cuff a cur.

[zenith salmon]

I have a decent deck, any idea where the best triad spot is?

[oblique surge]

Okay i will wait a bit

[nocturne wyvern]

Starter npc at the saucer? I forget his name but he’s on the left when you walk in to the area.

He’s pretty easy to beat and you can complete the weekly challenges on him ez.

[nocturne wyvern]

Run as admin also.

[proud willow]

Tractaum (the Tidus guy) is also really easy to beat in Triple Triad

[hasty turtle]

my item inventory is full, what do i do with all the crafting materials?

[nocturne wyvern]

@zenith salmon If you can’t win consistently just spam one of the arcade machines you’re good at.

[nocturne wyvern]

Retainer them.

[hasty turtle]

free trial

[solid fog]

How does one put idle camera screensaver ?

[nocturne wyvern]

Vendor trash.

[hasty turtle]

rip

[nocturne wyvern]

Or use them.

And vendor the stuff you craft.

[stable grail]

Wait how do you get chat bubbles in ff14?

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s not in the base ui.

That’s either fake or they’re using mods.

[regal pawn]

Ploogin

[stable grail]

hes new player(esfandtv)
i dont think he uses any mods and it was in vid
||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7ck7bBstfY&t=90s||

[regal pawn]

chat bubbles are a plugin

[nocturne wyvern]

Believe me, it’s not part of the default UI.

What Eve said.

[agile laurel]

It's mods. It's a Quicklauncher plugin

very well known

[stable grail]

i see

[agile laurel]

Can I verify - with every job at 80 currently, there's no point keeping any current poetics gear except healing/maiming?

[zenith salmon]

How do I know which gate is gonna be active?

[regal pawn]

announcements come up saying what's next

[regal pawn]

pretty much
and even then, only healing/maiming gear worth keeping is 70

[agile laurel]

Figured. Ty.

[zenith salmon]

Where can I see the announcements sorry?

[regal pawn]

the giant speech bubbles that come up near the top

[proven wing]

Casting gear at 70 for BLU as well

[regal pawn]

oh and that, yeah

[agile laurel]

Oh. Yeah. good shout

have blu bis anyway

Currently holding onto all Scaevan gear and just clicked that it was largely pointless

[nocturne wyvern]

Also NPC’s about called Gate keepers that tell you what’s next.

[wet cradle]

is there another item to get access to the top of the hedge besides the treehouse?

the treehouse is soooo big

[nocturne wyvern]

They’re all over the saucer.

[nocturne wyvern]

Not unless there’s a specific glam you want to keep around.

[safe pendant]

If I transfer my character to another world, what happens to all the items my retainers are holding in storage?

[nocturne wyvern]

They go to.

Just not mb listings I believe.

[safe pendant]

The website says you have to rehire your retainers

[nocturne wyvern]

Or mail.

Yeah but you won’t lose the items.

[safe pendant]

Aight thanks

[nocturne wyvern]

Be a dick move to remove items if you have 8 retainers full of crap. XD

Plus then they wouldn’t be able to charge for the transfer.

[safe pendant]

Yeah but I was like....hmm my retainers will be gone and their storage is stuffed with shit

[covert marlin]

what skill is Ruination? I keep seeing it mentioned for summoner but I don't see it listed.

[oblique pagoda]

Looking for some help. My friends and I were able to create a character on cactuar. However, one person could not. He even tried creating a chat somewhere else and transfer but that would not work either. He did start with a free trial account and subsequently upgraded. Any input would be appreciated.

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s a proc.

It should be in traits.

[glossy flare]

!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.

[glossy flare]

Basically: Try at off hours

No one can exactly predict when character creation is possible, but your chances are much higher at off hours.

[harsh sun]

Can I enable the various other languages to search for in my dungeon finder settings ?

[regal pawn]

yeah

top left, the cog wheel on the duty finder page

[harsh sun]

Where is this ?

[covert marlin]

I don't see it :(

[oblique pagoda]

Thanks for the quick reply

[harsh sun]

Oh thx !! 😄

[humble mason]

Once I use a Fantasia, is it gone as soon as I use it or am I able to cancel the character creation and keep the Fantasia

[faint flare]

Ruination doesn't exist anymore

[faint flare]

You can cancel

[covert marlin]

rip thanksss

[faint flare]

It isnt fully consumed until you confirm changes

[faint flare]

See Akhmorning.com for updated smn guides

[humble mason]

That’s a big relief, thanks

[faint flare]

Or weskalber videos

[humble mason]

It’s daunting only having one free shot at changing your character

[glossy flare]

Weskalber is much better for low level/leveling in general

[covert marlin]

thank you again !!

[glossy flare]

akhmorning is more concerned with endgame

[kindred isle]

someone plz help

[faint flare]

Well Akhmorning has levelling rotations for smn and blm

[kindred isle]

potd lv 50, randoms keep dying don't know about the aoe thing

[nocturne wyvern]

Be more specific.

[faint flare]

In text form

[glossy flare]

True, just not as much detail

[faint flare]

I mean, it is detailed

[fierce cedar]

does anybody else have this issue where on foot the shadow distance is really low? but in flight it just randomly gets bigger?

[faint flare]

For smn anyway

[fierce cedar]

Here's some comparisons

[glossy flare]

I just checked and damn, you are right. My bad

[glossy flare]

Just assumed it was like the blm one which just lists the roations

[nocturne wyvern]

Man it’s been that long since I last played smn. I thought it was still there.

[fierce cedar]

So I'm playing the game on max graphics and for some reason the shadow rendering distance is really low

except when I'm flying.

[regal pawn]

You're on a slope
have you checked flat ground?

ah wait

i see now

wasn't sure wtf to look at

[frosty ridge]

textures are low? or its not in hd or 4k?

[queen gulch]

is there a way to slow down the auto dialogue on steam without turning off the overlay?

[glossy flare]

they are talking about the distance shadows are shown. Look at the cliffs in the background

and compare those

[queen gulch]

since slowing it down is the same combination as the overlay

[glossy flare]

(anyway I have no idea how that happens)

[fierce cedar]

I'm running this on a 3060

max settings

not sure what the issue is

[glossy flare]

I don't think it's a hardware or performance issue

Just how it seems to be

[regal pawn]

it might just be that area specifically

[fierce cedar]

Like, the distance the shadows render just gets smaller when I land

[regal pawn]

imma go check

cause i don't have that issue in mor dhona

[fierce cedar]

I'll test it out in Lakeland

[covert pumice]

What level will the next dungeon after bardams mettle be?

[nocturne wyvern]

67

Yes really.

[faint flare]

67

Doma

[fierce cedar]

I'm only bringing it up because it looks really ugly

[nocturne wyvern]

Blah. Typo.

[fierce cedar]

and super noticeable

[glossy flare]

I just checked and I have the exact same behaviour

[faint flare]

Dungeons are every odd level

[glossy flare]

flying just seems to up the render distance

[faint flare]

During expansion levelling

[nocturne wyvern]

Then everything after that is at that expansion’s cap.

Maybe don’t say the name though? Don’t want to spoil it.

[regal pawn]

uh

[regal pawn]

I don't have that

[final girder]

Is the archer story get better after 30 ? It seems borring compared to the gladiator one

[slate spindle]

This is not the case

[glossy flare]

It's hard to notice for me too tbh because once I start flying the shadows will just stay there

[fierce cedar]

Maybe it's reducing the shadows on foot to boost performance

[nocturne wyvern]

Class quests stop at 30.

[covert pumice]

I am sorry for spoiling a dungeon name

[nocturne wyvern]

Then go to job quests.

[kindred isle]

hello anyone please help

[glossy flare]

but I did notice shadows popping up once I gained height

[fierce cedar]

Since you're not looking at stuff from a distance

[kindred isle]

potd lv 50

plz team up with me

[fierce cedar]

Probably a performance design quirk

[glossy flare]

Vinyl already corrected me and I said as much 😉

[regal pawn]

genuinely don't see a diff

mainly looking at this cause that's a dead giveaway on their comparison

[slate spindle]

Just making it clear. We've got a lot in the works for early game considerations

[nocturne wyvern]

That was more meant for @faint flare

[slate spindle]

There's also our section for new to the game sprouts by Stal

[fierce cedar]

Look at the castle

[regal pawn]

which part

[nocturne wyvern]

I wonder if this should go in the ffxiv bug report forums.

[covert pumice]

Didnt even realise ||Doma|| was a dungeon name

[fierce cedar]

It's not THAT big of a deal

it's like the "Shadow cascading" setting keeps being turned from Best to Normal

[regal pawn]

For the life of me i can't replicate the behaviour in the first screenshots

Cause your shadows just disappear

[fierce cedar]

So they don't always disappear

[elder veldt]

About how long does it take to get from base stormblood relic to pyros weapon? I havent done eureka before if that matters

[fierce cedar]

If I land once the shadows render, they stay

but if I walk towards the shaded objects

the shadows suddenly disappear

until I get close enough

[covert pumice]

If we are talking shadows, why are the shadows moving frame by frame often when the sun sets?

[leaden ginkgo]

I just unlock POTD but I can’t see it anywhere on my duty finder?

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s not there. You can only queue in quarry mill at an npc.

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh bet

[regal pawn]

so your pc doesn't explode when the sun sets

[storm cosmos]

can I discard "weathered" gear obtained from grenoldt in the tempest? it's not as good as my current gear and I assume you can get it from calamity salvager

[nocturne wyvern]

Hard to ball park it. It’s a grind either way.

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes and you can just get it from him again.

[storm cosmos]

great thanks

[verbal geode]

Is there a quick way to see everything in my inventory that I can extract materia from?

[leaden ginkgo]

ok before I go in POTD , how long does it take? Lol

[fierce cedar]

like 20 minutes

maybe half an hour

[leaden ginkgo]

oh bet

[nocturne wyvern]

You have to see what is 100% spirit bonded and you usually get a message in your chat about it.

[fierce cedar]

You queue up for it in Quarrymill

it's not a normal dungeon

[covert pumice]

More like the game's engine doesn't

[regal pawn]

game engine, pc
either way, saves you frames

[fierce cedar]

I'm just gonna chalk up this glitch the game's shitty engine lol

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s divided in to 10 sets of 10 floors and you do 10 at a time.

[proud willow]

if you go to the Materia Extraction button in Actions & Trait - General, you can find just the extractable items. They'll be sorted to the top

[fierce cedar]

It's a roguelike

kill mobs, move on to the next floor

[leaden ginkgo]

Are certain floors locked behind a level? I’m leveling up an alt job at 31 atm

[fierce cedar]

Nope, it starts you at level 1

[boreal storm]

Aetherpool levels

[fierce cedar]

and you work your way to level 60 inside

[nocturne wyvern]

Potd uses an independent leveling system for both your character and your weapon.

[fierce cedar]

it has it's own leveling system

[nocturne wyvern]

And your armor.

[verbal geode]

thank you!

[short spade]

what does the * mean on the character menu??

• then there are 4 numbers

*xxxx

[boreal storm]

Item level

It’s how easily people track how good your gear is

[short spade]

should i care more about item level than stats?
