[mental oracle]

What's the point of breeding chocobo if you get put in a higher ranked race?

[crystal ingot]

anyone within 8 levels of the other can level with them in eureka. but also do your weekly challenge log and go to notorious monster fates when they pop.

[faint flare]

You can't buy them

Only specific items. Mainly like boosts

[warm snow]

If you're trying to get early access to a mount even if you buy one you can't use it til you unlock mounts via msq

[midnight sparrow]

When can I hire retainers?

[faint flare]

Retainer vocates

No

The chocobo is mandatory

To use any mount

[warm snow]

That's the mount unlock yes

[midnight sparrow]

I went there and it said they couldn't let me hire them.

[faint flare]

Need to pass the lv17 msq and not be on trial

[kindred isle]

hello, how do i change the chat log to shout

i know you do /p to party

/fc to free company

[faint flare]

You can only get a few specific items

[midnight sparrow]

NVM I found it.

[crystal urchin]

Hey, is there a specific place in this server to find linkshells? Couldn't really find anything in the recruiting section

[last mural]

Regarding supply and provisioning missions. Do i get more missions if i have more crafting classes unlocked?

[sleek bane]

Is there any form of server wide chat? 🧐

[boreal storm]

Each one gets a daily mission so yes

[hot eagle]

yes each crafter/gatherer get 1 mission daily

[last mural]

Ah... so i gotta learn as many of them... thanks

[obsidian patio]

closest thing is the novice network

in terms of "public" chats

[keen storm]

Help, I dont know why I am getting 69 points only for fashion report. I was following the fashion report guide

[boreal storm]

Wear a belt

[sleek bane]

Wdym "closest"? It's not server wide?
Also are only sprouts able to use it or?

[boreal storm]

All slots need to be filled

[regal trellis]

just did gunbreaker relix, what should i spec in

[faint flare]

Read the IMPORTANT part of the image guide

[obsidian patio]

closest as in only mentors/sprouts can use it

[faint flare]

It says you need ALL (except offhand) slots filled

[obsidian patio]

there's no server-wide chat that's open to everyone

[keen storm]

all slots filled except waist and offhand? So it means dont equip waist?

or am i reading things wrong

[faint flare]

Follow your stat priority... Crit det sks

[boreal storm]

Also that’s the wrong stuff

Fashion Report for the week of 8/6/2021 (Week 184)

Resets in 3 days, 19 hours, 47 minutes, 59 seconds

[sleek bane]

Who is mentor and how does one become one?

[faint flare]

You looked at previous weeks

[raven sage]

You're wearing last week's outfit

[keen storm]

ah i was stupid

thanks guys

😅

[worn flume]

wtf this week is easy

[obsidian patio]

in-game mentors are people who met various requirements and "upgrade" to one by talking to a Smith at adventurer guilds

[toxic sorrel]

would wearing two of the items for the fashion report be enough to get a 80 or higher rating? i have 2 items that are the proper items

[boreal storm]

It lists the. 2 items

Use em

[faint flare]

Look at the easy 80

[obsidian patio]

Combat mentors need one of each role (Tank/Healer/DPS) at level 80, 1,500 commendations, and 1,000 instance completions

[faint flare]

Use them + all slots filled

[obsidian patio]

non-combat Mentors need any Crafter at 80, any gatherer at 80, 300 gathering collectables obtained, and 100 crafting collectables made.

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it possible to level like 2 jobs at once using MSQ?

Maybe focus on MSQ exp on one job then queue for dungeons and stuff on the other

[gritty oracle]

Think so, but you'll have to sprinkle in roulettes and such

[sleek bane]

Damn so I'll have to play tank after all

[leaden ginkgo]

how can i get a large amount of ore on my miner? asking as i only get 1 per hit and if i do use my king's yield that drains my entire gp pool

[gray plume]

Yes, why not, during my first playthrough to not get overleveled with a single job while progressing MSQ and doing RLT's for currencies, I was playing a second job to do my RLTs with

[obsidian patio]

!action pick clean

[zinc orbit]

**Pick Clean** : lvl 77 MIN (250 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces the chance of obtaining HQ items to 0% but increases item yield by up to three. Number determined by your perception rating.
Does not increase item yield if all gathering node items start at 0%.

Powered by XIVAPI

[obsidian patio]

this is your most efficient Yield skill if you have enough stats to make it give +2

[gray plume]

Since MSQ gives you enough EXP, if you want to do your dailies still go with a second job

[obsidian patio]

!action bountiful harvest ii

[zinc orbit]

**Bountiful Harvest II** : lvl 68 BTN (100 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases the number of items obtained on your next gathering attempt by one, two, or three. Number determined by your gathering rating.

Powered by XIVAPI

[leaden ginkgo]

Bet I was thinking the same cause my main job is like 5 levels above my current MSQ

[obsidian patio]

this if you want the chance of HQ items

[leaden ginkgo]

So I leveled my alt job to the same exact lvl of my MSQ

so its not possible as a lvl51 miner then? @obsidian patio

[gray plume]

Yeah, you will simply waste TONS of EXP from MSQ if you go like that without a second job

[leaden ginkgo]

Appreciate u : )

[obsidian patio]

best you got for now is the +2 yield skill for 500GP

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it better if my alt job shares gear wit my main job?

Or does it not matter that much

yeah, idk how to get my gp back quicker tho

thats my main issue currently

[obsidian patio]

guzzle cordials like there's no tomorrow

!item watered cordial

[zinc orbit]

**Watered Cordial** **:** Medicine : ilvl 55

A sweet, fermented concoction that instantly restores 150 GP (200 if the cordial is of high quality).

Powered by XIVAPI

[obsidian patio]

!item cordial

[zinc orbit]

**Cordial** **:** Medicine : ilvl 25

A sweet, fermented concoction that instantly restores 300 GP (350 if the cordial is of high quality).

Powered by XIVAPI

[gray plume]

Well, if you care about gear in lower levels that much, you can choose one with sharing

[obsidian patio]

!item hi-cordial

[zinc orbit]

**Hi-Cordial** **:** Medicine : ilvl 100 [Untradeable]

A sweet, fermented concoction that instantly restores 400 GP.

Powered by XIVAPI

[obsidian patio]

Hi-cordial is from yellow scrips

[gray plume]

Game throws you lots of tomestones anyway, from literally everything you do

[leaden ginkgo]

isnt that a cooldown tho?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Bet

what isi t?

Ty @gray plume

[gray plume]

You're welcome bud!

Enjoy

[leaden ginkgo]

also do all crafters have the same skills?

[obsidian patio]

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/317689-Cordials?p=4028363&viewfull=1#post4028363

yes

this has the cordial cooldowns

[leaden ginkgo]

kk

I’ve got some bad news for you… it got nerfed last patch

[obsidian patio]

Basically Hi-Cordial are the most GP-efficient, but have the longest recast timer and a yellow scrip cost

but they're the best for pure node grinding where you're constantly spending GP

[wanton niche]

clearing a dungeon for the first time gives more exp right?

[leaden ginkgo]

so.. @obsidian patio ive ran into a slight issue on my crafting journey

[obsidian patio]

?

[leaden ginkgo]

ive ran out of crystals

[zenith halo]

Oh... thats unfortunate. What about pve content?

[obsidian patio]

recent patch was only PVP balance changes

[eager widget]

if you can use the marketboard, they’re super cheap in bulk

[leaden ginkgo]

All tanks are fine in PvE.

It’s also not unfortunate. GNB still good.

GNB was way ahead of the other tanks in feast before the nerf. Now it’s more balanced

[zenith halo]

Its still gonna be a raid boss in pvp thats goood

[leaden ginkgo]

i wouldnt say this was cheap

also is there a way to just buy a specific amount rather than buying all 3k

[eager widget]

nope ⚰️

we are all at the mercy of listers

[leaden ginkgo]

Idk about “raid boss”

Warrior was always harder to take down in FL and RW due to all the heals and Nascent stacking with retaliate well

IR stopping CC is also good to unga bunga

how long will this last me

[leaden ginkgo]

No. You buy the amount the seller listed. If you don’t need that many you need to buy / find another stack

[zenith halo]

icic, ill try it out

[leaden ginkgo]

https://www.akhmorning.com/pvp/frontline/tanking-guide/

This should help

[zenith halo]

oh ty. I actually needed this lol

[leaden ginkgo]

No problem. Most folks don’t know there’s a lot of resources for pvp

The pins of #archived-player-vs-player has some more stuff to check out

[zenith halo]

Ye ill take a look at it ty

[warm snow]

@leaden ginkgo you'll get more crystals and shards from crafting job quests

Don't neglect them

[floral snow]

My main job is 59 and I'm on level 53 quests, about a third of the way through HW. Should I switch jobs when I hit 60, or should I continue getting free exp for my main?

Note: my main is a healer so I queue for dungeons instantly

[warm snow]

It won't hurt to spread exp across multiple jobs

They give more than enough to get one job all the way to max through msq

[floral snow]

Is it better to level dps through msq since they're slower to queue for DF content?

[warped nest]

Up to you

[twilit arch]

its up to you, but i personnally would use msq for dps

tanks/healers generally have quick dungeon queues so dungeon spam is pretty easy breezy leveling for them

[turbid marsh]

Aight so someone mentioned this earlier but I didn't see the answer. So I finished my Bravura and equipped it, and tried to accept the next quest, but it tells me that I need to have it equipped, what do?

[floral snow]

Yeah I prefer to level through dungeons if I can queue consistently for them

[leaden ginkgo]

Just wondering, but why are content times becoming longer as time progresses? Praetorium was the longest content at 2x, but it takes roughly the same time to clear alliance raid at 5x, dungeons are longer at 5x, and trials are the worst, where it starts to get 10min+ from around Emanation and even 15min+ in recent ones including Lv80 normal raids, which is approximately the same time to clear dungeons at 2x.

[twilit arch]

is its just bravura or is it bravura zenith?

[turbid marsh]

Bravura, I think I need the next quest to get the zenith

Or is it that I need to do something else before?

[twilit arch]

since you have the jp role, i assume you are on jp. do you have the J language enabled in your df settings

[warped nest]

I think they meant "why higher level Dungeons took longer to do"

[twilit arch]

you need to buy 3x thavnairian mists from poetics and then chuck those + bravura into the furnace behind drake

[turbid marsh]

Ah yeah i see now, thank you

[twilit arch]

that'll give you zenith and let you pick up the next quest

[warped nest]

As in "why aren't I clearing dungeons just as fast"

I think that's what they meant

[turbid marsh]

Alright poggers, will do that now

[leaden ginkgo]

Sorry, that was what I meant. When I started ff14, 30 min seemed like an extremely long time, but as I do 5x contents now, 30 min is moderate time for contents.

[tranquil spear]

where can i get Flame Chpocobo Issuance for the mount quest?

[twilit arch]

from the flame quartermaster

i mean generally dungeons are going to be 15mins~ give or take, longer than that and either someone is slacking

alliance raids taking roughly 30mins is pretty normal

tbh

CT is easily steam rolled and really isn't the "norm" for how long an alliance raid is going to take, esp at higher lvls

[warped nest]

ARR alliance is the odd one out because their ilvl sync is not very effective

[floral snow]

I have one other question: My current (only) long-term goal is to clear BA. Should I start Eureka at 70 or wait until 80?

Would it be easier/faster/more efficient overall to wait until 80, or is it better to start off the time investment ASAP?

[twilit arch]

at the end of the day tho, higher lvl content is going to take ab it longer to clear

because you can't as easily smash thru it

[warped nest]

Eureka has its own level

[floral snow]

So 70?

[warped nest]

Yeah

[floral snow]

Alrighty, ty!

[leaden ginkgo]

Most dungeons up to holminster takes around 15-20 min, but anything past it honestly takes around 25 min to clear. Trials are the worst, and anything past Hades honestly takes around 15 min, and wondering why they are so long

[warm snow]

Prae is as long as it'll get

Weird exception

[warped nest]

People are just terrible at this game?

[warm snow]

They loaded all final dungeon of 2.0 with all the final battles and cutscenes.

Bad decision but there's no good way to replace/fix it

[twilit arch]

tbh it just sounds like you've set expectations on how fast things should be cleared that aren't realistically how long htey take

but that said

you also hav to keep in mind that not every plays well

[warm snow]

That doesn't cost an more time/money/effort than it's worth

[tranquil spear]

i don't get how to farm the currency to trade in at the Quartermaster, which also is not showing the item i'd need to buy (Flame Chpocobo Issuance )

[warm snow]

It's all fun and games until you see a hard cast verraise

[warped nest]

EX and Savage are where you can expect people to pull their weight more...

Even then

[warm snow]

Then you weep

[warped nest]

Ahem ahem

[twilit arch]

do the next main scenario quest to get the seals you need, the issuance should be under materiel section iirc @tranquil spear

[astral edge]

can you do polygamy (marrying multiple people without divorcing each time) in the game

[warped nest]

No

[twilit arch]

nope

[warm snow]

No

[astral edge]

cringe

[warm snow]

Ash, I will bonk you

[warped nest]

Just make an FC

[astral edge]

circle enix plz fix

[warm snow]

[warped nest]

And name it "my harem"

[tranquil spear]

do quest got it

thanks

[fickle radish]

hey. for leveling 61-70 which floors are best in hoh?

[warped nest]

51-60

Wait, hoh

21-30

[fickle radish]

thankss

is there an aetherpool req for 21-30 like there is for 51 in potd?

[warm snow]

I think so

But it's not very high

[fickle radish]

awesome thanks

[warped nest]

You need to be hilariously unlucky to fail the requirement

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, but Sastasha and Copperbell can be cleared with 15 min even if there are 3 beginners, Titan can be cleared in less than 5 min with 7 beginners, but it takes 30+min to clear Holminster~ dungeons if there is 1 beginner who always die in boss, and it can be nearly impossible to clear recent trials if there are 7 beginners.

[warped nest]

I remember just playing hoh normally and voila

You cannot scale those measurement linearly

[warm snow]

Like most games things get difficult as you progress

[warped nest]

"lvl 15 dungeons took 4 level 15 players just 10 minutes to do"

[warm snow]

In particular arr and hw content have a secondary problem of general power creep over the course of nearly a decade

[warm snow]

Only one of those I'd say is impossible is sos

[warped nest]

Low level Dungeons are significantly more forgiving

[warm snow]

Anything else, well you have to actually try, but that's a reasonable expectation

[twilit arch]

at this point i'd say this is more a #rants

[warped nest]

High level Dungeons can and will drain your resources (Healer and tank) during AOE pulls

[leaden ginkgo]

Agreed, but it seems that harder contents get longer. I'm fine with many wipes at hades or sos, but they honestly take 10min+ even if everyone is an expert.

[twilit arch]

at the end of the day, you're going to just have to accept that sometimes you're going to get shit groups

[warm snow]

Horses and water

[twilit arch]

that take longer than average

[warm snow]

That's just life dude

[forest breach]

Any chocobo breeding ~expert~ around? 👀

I'm really not sure on what I should do for my next pairing.

[dapper oyster]

how to access chocobo stables when u have no housing?

How do I rejoin NN after leaving? Do I have to be reinvited?

[nocturne wyvern]

I think the smith can do it.

Oh ty

[amber echo]

can I make the popup ui appear somewhere else? I can't see the list of items

[warm snow]

Have to become a mentor if you've lost your sprout

[sleek igloo]

Q) Anyway to get the Friendship Circlet without having a friend resub?

[gritty oracle]

I left via /novicenetworkleave

[twilit arch]

yes in the character config settings under ui settings i believe. can decide where active/pop-up help is displayed. either on the mouse or fixed location

[gritty oracle]

Get someone else to register your code.

[twilit arch]

if you make it fixed location you can go into the HUD layout and change its location

[shy kayak]

hey guys, are there any armour sets to buy or get when i hit 50?

[leaden ginkgo]

wut?

[sleek igloo]

@strong sapphire sorry I found it

[gritty oracle]

There's a banner that looks like an ad, with "recruit a friend" written on it

[gritty oracle]

The dialogue with the guy told you what materia needs to be melded to the gear.

[leaden ginkgo]

yea but which one

[twilit arch]

it doesn't matter for that quest

all that maters if you melded a materia to it

[leaden ginkgo]

ok

[fringe bone]

are you now alone in leap of faith or am i trpping?

[twilit arch]

you're with other players

[fringe bone]

why am i alone then lol

[twilit arch]

provided ofc others queued up for it

people didn't queue for it 🤷‍♂️

[fringe bone]

huh?

[twilit arch]

if no one else decided to talk to the gate keeper for it, and participate then you'd be alone in the instance

[raven sage]

Honestly you still have a chance of getting into it alone even if others queue because of server congestion

[twilit arch]

that's also true

[fringe bone]

its been 4 min tho xD

you wouldnt think no one would queue up with mgp boost

[twilit arch]

you got un/lucky and got a solo instance

[fringe bone]

hmm odd

[leaden ginkgo]

why cant i open this

[faint plover]

where can i recruit people for trials?

[twilit arch]

er not that one, its forging the spirit

but its the same location

you need to do forging to unlock materia melders

[leaden ginkgo]

kk

when can i meld stuff myself

without a melder npc

[twilit arch]

when you do the quest i linked

[leaden ginkgo]

i did it

[twilit arch]

there's 3 quests at the bonfire

[leaden ginkgo]

i did all 3

[twilit arch]

then you can meld

provided that you have appropriately leveled crafter

for the gear you're trying to meld

[leaden ginkgo]

well what i mean is, idk which crafter i go on to see the meld ability

[twilit arch]

it doesn't matter

they can all meld

[leaden ginkgo]

well then i do not see the meld ability

[twilit arch]

all you need is 1 crafter whos the appropriate level of the gear you're trying to meld

where are you looking for it

[leaden ginkgo]

actions and traits

[raven sage]

You do it from the gear

[leaden ginkgo]

?

[twilit arch]

you can just right click the gear to meld

[leaden ginkgo]

oh.

i see.

[twilit arch]

but that said in actions and traits it should be in the general section

iirc

[leaden ginkgo]

found it

whats the difference between going to a npc and doing it yourself

like can npcs not overmeld?

[twilit arch]

correct

[leaden ginkgo]

ah.

[twilit arch]

only players can overmeld

[leaden ginkgo]

also why do people say overmelding costs millions?

[twilit arch]

plus npcs require a small fee to meld

because overmelding is a chance

the lowest slot with the lowest grade materia like 10% or something to meld

unless you get really lucky

you're probably going to break a ton of materia overmelding

[leaden ginkgo]

but arent t8's easy to get

since the cracked things

[twilit arch]

you can't overmeld multiple t8s

you can only overmeld 1 t8

even if you have a hearty stockpile of materia tho, there's still a chance of you using all of your stockpile on the first few slots

that you either have to go farm or buy more to get the last slots melded

would also wanna note that as i said the lowest slot has lower chance to meld

for a t7 to meld its 7%

[leaden ginkgo]

wait so you can only have 1 tier 8 materia per armour piece/weapon/tool?

[twilit arch]

no

[willow sparrow]

What is Advanced Melding?

[twilit arch]

The green slots you see on the gear are "assured" slots

so you can meld t8s into those slots

its once you go past those green slots, that you're overmelding

[leaden ginkgo]

oh i see.

[twilit arch]

which means you can only put 1 t8 into the slot past those assured slots

[leaden ginkgo]

so you can only overmeld just 1 t8 so 3 total t8's?

[willow sparrow]

What are t8?

[sleek igloo]

Q) I can buy lvl 70 job unlocks directly from SE, right? This is legal compared to powerlvling?

[twilit arch]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

@willow sparrow

[willow sparrow]

oh

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

on their mogstation store.

the top 3 on the left are only story skips not boosts

[little swift]

!faq skips

[zinc orbit]

What does each skip do?

Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.

Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME> Journey This item increases a given job to level 70. It will not skip your story progress to level 70. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 70 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl400 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.

Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".
Machinist - Stephanivien at Foundation (8,10), quest name is "Savior of Skysteel".

[worn fog]

when i level an alt job do i use the duty finder for dungeons ?

[river oasis]

how to i effectively pass aggro if my shrik on cd

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

[river oasis]

the other tank didnt take boss aggro eventhough i didnt dps and turn off tank stance

[little swift]

Turn stance off after they provoke

[worn fog]

thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

:>

[little swift]

If they don't voke it's on them

[river oasis]

yeah

at some point i just continue taning

eventhough it hurts

[little swift]

In normal content swaps are optional

But extreme onwards swaps are done because they're needed

[river oasis]

was running eye of creator

ah ok

yeah i thought that was needed in normal stuff

[little swift]

Eye of the creator normal doesn't need swaps

Ot just grabs the faust

[river oasis]

my only extreme so far been garuda

[leaden ginkgo]

@twilit arch i assume thats what you meant?

[twilit arch]

yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

went to mb to buy some shit and saw that

[twilit arch]

i think i prepped close to 200 materia before i overmelded my aesthete

and still had to go and grind for more

because i lost a lot

[sleek igloo]

Q) How often do the Job Powerlvl stuff go on sale on the Mogstation? and what is the usual Sale %?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is every female dress in mog station can be equipped by every female character no matter the race?

Or there are specific dresses for specific races

[pulsar escarp]

every race can wear every dress from mog. the only exception is some (most if not all) purchaseable/exclusive hair on viera won't work.

(you have race locked gear but most if not all of that is the starting gear)

[onyx kiln]

isnt there a achievement or something for training other players chocobos?

[twilit arch]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to do this quicker?

[onyx kiln]

quicker than quick synthesis?

[leaden ginkgo]

well yeah because this shit takes ungodly amounts of time

mainly since i needa do like 200

[onyx kiln]

well yeah, you are making 99 leathers, that will take time , even with that. best is to start that. watch something of youtube or something and be back a minute later

[leaden ginkgo]

thats what i do.

[cedar ocean]

can people on the free trial do the moon faire event that's coming up?

[twilit arch]

yes

[onyx kiln]

[cedar ocean]

if he's on the same datacenter as you, you can world visit to his server by interacting with the main aetheryte in one of the 3 starting cities

[leaden ginkgo]

Guys I need some desperate help haha. I've been trying to get my hands on the complete edition of the game on the ffxiv main website since it was on sale. Since that didn't work I bought a key which I would be able to redeem on the mogstation website. But the website requires me to enter some sort of registration code, but I didn't get that with the key I bought, even though the key was for the base game and all dlcs. What do I do now? Is there another way to redeem a code for the complete edition?

[tacit mist]

I just started playing again aftef trying the game before and lving seems to a lot faster this time ive only had to do the msq, someone told me its the road to 80 buff but i dont think cactaur is a preferred server

Is there a way to check if you have the road to 80 buff?

[forest breach]

It'd show up in your buff bar I'm pretty sure?

[leaden ginkgo]

Y’all is there a cite that lists all relic weapons? So many I’m so lost rn

[forest breach]

Cactuar is definitely not preferred.

[velvet gorge]

Got a question about the Free Login Campaign. My account says that is inactive and sub ran out on July 8th. Does that mean that I'll be eligible for the free login anytime soon?

Made an attempt to log in recently with no avail. I hope that doesn't reset the inactive timer?

[robust crow]

youtube and google

there's only 4 kinds of them

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh so 1 each expansion?

[robust crow]

zodiac (ARR), anima (HW), eureka (StB), resistance (ShB)

and they don't have relics for classes that didn't exist in that expansion

[leaden ginkgo]

Bet ty just needed the names

Aw

So not AST relic for me

[robust crow]

so there's no zodiac GNB weapon for example

[forest breach]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Zodiac_Weapons

[wintry chasm]

Bought a key where?

[forest breach]

For ARR for instance

[leaden ginkgo]

Ty

[forest breach]

it has similar pages for the other relics

[robust crow]

there's no AST zodiac either

but there's 3 other AST relics

[forest breach]

@leaden ginkgo If you check the top of the page

There are the pages for the other relic types

[tacit mist]

I don't have a buff i guess they just buffed xp gains either way its a nice change

[robust crow]

that site doesn't have videos or pics

so use youtube if you want to see them

[leaden ginkgo]

sites called mmoga, been buying keys there for about 5 years now and its usually a trusted website in my country :/

[wintry chasm]

Right...

So you got the key code from that

[leaden ginkgo]

Ty I’ll check YT to see how they look then use the cite to know everything I need to craft them

[sleek needle]

What's the difference between a code and a key here?

[leaden ginkgo]

apparently its an expansion code or something and not the actual registration key. The key I got from there doesn not fit whatsoever

[wintry chasm]

Okay
A) what did you specifically buy
B) where exactly are you putting it in

[leaden ginkgo]

the key is supposedly from what I could tell just for the expansions, but in order to redeem it I need some sort of registration code which I didnt get. Its a bit complicated sadly but I wouldnt mind screensharing some stuff later

[wintry chasm]

So did you buy "FFXIV Shadowbringers"?

[sleek needle]

Take a screen shot of the things calisaie said

[wintry chasm]

Or something called a starter edition

[leaden ginkgo]

I bought the complete edition

base game and all expansions

ill screen it later

[hard aurora]

is this steam

or

[wintry chasm]

^ good question

[leaden ginkgo]

nope its for the main site

[hard aurora]

if its steam i can help you

[leaden ginkgo]

not steam

[wintry chasm]

It's important to know if it's a steam key

[hard aurora]

rip

[leaden ginkgo]

when will i be able to repair my gear anywhere its a pain in the nuts having to keep repairing my stuff while crafting

If I could id like to dm you in a minute about all of this, in a match with some friends right now

[wintry chasm]

Sure

[leaden ginkgo]

if i do a roulette before the reset and the duty ends at reset, do i get another shot?

yes

[green grail]

you get the reward for the day the roulette finished on

[wintry chasm]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

perfect

thanks

[boreal storm]

High level crafters + grade 7 dark matter

[leaden ginkgo]

awshit

so i lose it

[wintry chasm]

Correct

[leaden ginkgo]

hope i dont get prae

wut i thought it only counts if you clear it? didnt know that..

[wintry chasm]

To be exact about the same level as the gear

[near wedge]

Is there a way to do the stormblood relic steps without eureka now? The zones are kinda empty when im on

[wintry chasm]

No

[near wedge]

damn

[flint tiger]

Hey is there a setting that stops you from dragging your skills over the hotbar?

[wintry chasm]

Yes

There is a lockpad by the hotbar

Press that and it'll stop you from moving stuff

[dawn cove]

if i was to start a solo fc, do i need a house to buy buffs and to use the storage chest?

[leaden ginkgo]

where can i like buy t1 materia i need a low tier one for my quest, dont wanna use mb ideally

[faint flare]

Market

[wintry chasm]

Like, beast tribe vendors if high enough rep and that's about it

[leaden ginkgo]

which one

[faint flare]

Or spiritbond low level gear

[wintry chasm]

Could try to extract materia from your old gear too

Ones you have spirit bonded with

Ones you have spirit bonded with

[leaden ginkgo]

im not using any materia in general

[shy kayak]

hey guys, which expo is meant to have the really good story line (I hear better then all other ff games),

[faint flare]

The whole game is 1 story line

[wintry chasm]

Heavensward and Shadowbringers. That isn't to say for example Stormblood is bad. It's still good but it's not like, the fucking mountain peak

Also yeah it's all one storyline anyway

[shy kayak]

yeah ok cool, playing through RR, there are def some good bits but some of it isnt that epic, so just wanted to see where it really picks up and if it ever gets a bit more large scale like some of the single player ff games

[wintry chasm]

Uhh, are you still in the 1-50 bit?

[shy kayak]

yeah..

[wintry chasm]

Oh yeah I quite like the patch content. It scales stuff up a fair bit and introduces a lot of elements

It's engaging

[lunar nexus]

HW picks up with what you’re talking about while ShB increases scope exponentially, to not get spoily

[shy kayak]

im trying to read things so i dont miss the story (rather then rushing through it) but some of it seems is kinda brong

ok cool

[wintry chasm]

1-50 does have its bad and good moments

[lunar nexus]

ARR is worldbuilding but it’s kind of required to get a proper scope for things

Generally agreed upon it could be done better but it’s still pretty essential

[shy kayak]

ok cool, yeah ill keep reading through the main stuff

[wintry chasm]

Like personally I say 2.2+ is good, 2.1 is a bit slow but does readjust the story to go forward and I appreciate it for that and 2.0 is hit and miss

[shy kayak]

the other patches are much smaller though, so is it that the stories are a bit tigether?

tighter*

[faint flare]

Arr us season one of Netflix show

[shy kayak]

Like some of the quests just seem like filler, where as some seem to be moving some interesting plots, even if its small scale stuff

[wintry chasm]

Well patches don't exactly have chaptered stories, they are just continuous just about and kinda goes into each other

[lunar nexus]

They’re smaller but the patches contribute pretty heavily to the main plot

Usually tying up loose threads

[wintry chasm]

Patch stuff is tighter though, not as tight as maybe it should in ARR but it's pretty engaging

[shy kayak]

yeah fair enough, ok ill stick with it, we are locked down any ways, so might as well use this time lol

[lunar nexus]

Fair warning that ARR patches are a bit of a slog but the things that happen in those patches are very important both from a world and character building standpoint

[shy kayak]

Slog in the duration of the quest? or the number

[lunar nexus]

Number, they reduced it in like 5.3 or something significantly but it’s still a lot of quests

[wintry chasm]

Yeah but they really are more engaging quests

[lunar nexus]

Can’t give an exact estimate but I want to say eight hours?

[wintry chasm]

I really wouldn't even think about the number

[lunar nexus]

They’re engaging yeah, just approach it with a mindset of you’ll get to the end when you get to the end

[shy kayak]

yeah if the quests are good then thats fine 8 hours is not much

well if they're engaging i can just play them as i would a single player game rather then a mmo

[wintry chasm]

Yes

Please do that

[lunar nexus]

if you get bored just go do hildibrand quests for a bit

[shy kayak]

yeah ok, lets see how i go 🙂 im sure it will be fine.

[wintry chasm]

Like, if you're finding ARR alright now you're fucking gooood

[warm snow]

Patch content post arr is a lot better, 3.3 and 5.3 in particular are fantastic

[shy kayak]

like im not going to miss much of the story if i skip through some of the dialog for the small quests. I never skip things when its with the main chars , voice acted, or the more cinematic ones

and try and read the journal as im running to the quest

[tired mountain]

my mouse died, is there anyway to bind the left and right click to a keyboard key?

[boreal storm]

You can safely ignore

[shy kayak]

yeah its alright so far, im in the 30s quests i think

[wintry chasm]

I really just wouldn't skip, it can be hard to really know what is important or not until you've done it

[boreal storm]

Skimming text is fine too

[wintry chasm]

There are points where they pull twists

[robust crow]

do you have a controller?

you're kinda boned on kbm mode without a mouse

[tired mountain]

the only controller i have is a ps2 controller

[shy kayak]

yeah ok ill see how i go! cheers

[simple cradle]

Hey quick question can someone tell me what good gears for a lancer?

And where to get it

[warm snow]

Do pay attention to job quests, they have no voice acting but their stories continue all the way to shadowbringers

[leaden ginkgo]

hey guys, is there a shiva server discord out there?

[unborn latch]

Anyone know a way to customize the raid HUD without having to join one, By that I mean Its hard for me to tell exactly how the alliance bars are gonna look when I’m adjusting them in HUD layout without actually being in one. So I was wondering if there are any alternatives?

[shy kayak]

yeah i read job quests, the arcanist one I did was great, like the only ones i might skim or skip is when i know they're just telling me to go do kill 3 mobs or something.

[wintry chasm]

A) what level
B) answer is probably just the gear that says "disciple of war" till 50

[boreal storm]

Afterwards get maiming

[wintry chasm]

^

[simple cradle]

Oh okay thank you

[sleek igloo]

Q) How long do items fromt eh SE store take to arrive ingame?

[viral osprey]

Oke I have a question can you increase the Ilvl of a specific weapon?

[green grail]

no, some can be "augmented" but that's done through trading in an old version for another one

[green grail]

usually a couple minutes, but up to 24h

[hollow violet]

is there a trick to solo farming leviathan extreme? I kill the first wave of adds, hit him for a minute, then the wave splumes appear. I kill them. Leviathan stays immune to damage for the rest of time

[robust crow]

kill all the adds

and then hit the device during leviathan's kill move

then don't get knocked off to death

[hollow violet]

all the adds were dead. I've tried both hitting the device and not hitting it

[robust crow]

or just play BLU and 1-shot the fuck out of him

[hollow violet]

thought it was just a bug the first time, but it happened again on the next attemp

[faint flare]

Need to wait until he goes into his uly

[robust crow]

leviathan needs to be brought to low enough HP to phase change

[brittle valve]

anyone can tell me how to beat the boss at floor 20 in potd? is there a spell i need to interupt

[faint flare]

Don't stand in bad, hit the boss

[hollow violet]

^ the floor 20 one doesn't really have any tricks

[brittle valve]

dont stand in bad meaning?

[faint flare]

Don't stand in aoes

[boreal storm]

Aoe bad

[faint flare]

Aka bad

[boreal storm]

Poison/acid bad, don’t stand in it

[robust crow]

whatever looks bad

don't stand in it

[viral osprey]

Can someone maybe tell me what the fastest way is to level black Smith?

[tall river]

anyone's game ever consistently crash / not launch after hitting the play button

[vagrant jewel]

hey guys been putting off my shb currents for a long time and finally decided to do it, running into some trouble in the last lakelands unlock quest i believe it's supposed to be where the red circle is in this photo, is there another prerequisite i'm missing or something?

[boreal storm]

[viral osprey]

[nimble pulsar]

So I just switched from Free Trial to full game, but now I have all this gear I was holding onto from leveling/dungeons. What should I do with the equipment that I don't need (non unique for expert delivery)? Just sell it?

[faint flare]

You need to be overlevelled and geared to solo dungeons

[leaden ginkgo]

so im like kinda geting lost in knowing what jobs to play. I've been playing ninja as my main which I love, my drk is 78, and I do like that, but anything else I try feels very lackluster and non-logical. I'm leveling monk right now, it's okay, but some things make no sense, for example why you have to drop twin snakes during perfect balance.

what jobs would you recommend that flow nice and make sense?

To ellaborate I love ninja because everytihng is on shared cooldown besides bunshin,

it just all makes perfect sense to put it into the rotation

doesn't feel like that with monk.

or anything else I've tried for that matter.

[short spade]

whats that darker yellow thing on the exp bar?

[faint flare]

!faq restedexp

[zinc orbit]

Rested Experience FAQ

'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'

That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.

'How much of a boost is it?'

The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.

Is there a way to enable ping bar or sum on Console?

so many wierd systems in this game @ _ @

[leaden ginkgo]

Not in the states rn so I wanna check my ping rq

[deep meteor]

is there a way to preview your character as other races? i picked a race i'm not fond with anymore but it could still be worth it in the end, i just don't know my transmog options

[leaden ginkgo]

unfortunately appearance between races doesn't translate well

the face options are different, so no 2 races have the same face.

[haughty peak]

You can make a test character on another server and save the settings before buying a fantasia, but you obviously won't be able to see with the transmog that way.

[leaden ginkgo]

you can press create new character to mess with the character creation though

[deep meteor]

yea, i didn't know if there was like WoW's alternative to previewing all the transmogs in the game on any race

[haughty peak]

There might be a 3rd party way, but there isn't a first party method to do so as far as I know, but I've never used a fantasia so I know very little about it, to be fair.

[raven flint]

I do need some assistance for my White Mage (The only Class I have). How do I filled rest of the slots ? Any item that will help to get scoring 100? Most of the gear works in DPS favor .

Current Armor, I have owned
head = Late Allagan
Body = Augmented Ironworks Robe of Healing
hands = ?
Waist = ?
Legs = ?
Feet = Amateur Thighboots

T.T Please Help !

Thanks in advanced.

[crisp hill]

So there's no equivalent to Wowhead's Dressing Room either?

[leaden ginkgo]

he said there might be a third party way yeah, but I don't know of any.

[agile laurel]

gonna be 100. when it comes to planning glamours and previewing items, WoW thrashes FF hands down. it's just how it is

[haughty peak]

I know this site exists, but it's self submitted glams also: https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/ It's more for finding glam you like.

[raven flint]

most of this item favor DPS class, I'm only a white mage

[warm snow]

Yeah but you only need level 20

[coarse flame]

dumb question, but how many times can you do beastribe quests from one tribe>

[boreal storm]

Either get more jobs, or wait for a week that you can actually get 100 on

[coarse flame]

?

[warm snow]

Just level another job

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah fashion report is hard if you're a one trick

just have to get lucky.

[tulip zephyr]

do custom deliveries from later expansions make more scrips, or is it based purely on relationship level?

[haughty peak]

3 a day unless you rank up in the tribe, then 6 can be possible (I think it resets on rank up if I remember right).

[coarse flame]

okay thank youj

[zenith halo]

What stat do i prioritise for Gunbreaker? Vitality?

[faint flare]

Strength

[boreal storm]

That’s for ranged

[twin zodiac]

At that stage of the game, it doesn't matter -- but Strength

[faint flare]

Custodian is tanks

[twin zodiac]

You want Cu-- yeah. that.

[wispy forge]

for this week just buy the other pants and boots in the gathering tab 🙂 my partner had the same issue playing low lvl black mage

[faint flare]

Vit is on all gear

[zenith halo]

Oh ok, i prio Strength on my Monk so can i use the same accessories ?

[gritty lynx]

I read that you can pawn off green dungeon loot to your company, but I dont see the option on the quartermaster

[faint flare]

Under 60 you can

Past 60 they're role locked

[wispy forge]

you need to reach a certain rank first. unlock "expert delivery"

[twin zodiac]

I think you could use Shire Panki without issue on GNB

[zenith halo]

ah ok ty

[raven flint]

how do you get to gathering tab?

[twin zodiac]

The accessories, that is

[haughty peak]

You can't stack strength; it's maxed on every gear. You prioritize skill/spell speed, crit, determination, direct hit mostly

[gritty lynx]

Ty

[raven flint]

Sorry, I'm a sprout

[twin zodiac]

it's ok. we all were.

[zenith halo]

these are my accessories for Monk, Ill use the same on GNB

[tulip zephyr]

it's after a certain rank, and i think it's not quartermaster, but a personnel officer who accepts that

[twin zodiac]

Or some of us still are in spirit

[wispy forge]

you just ask to buy "DoH/DoL gear when purchasing 🙂

[boreal storm]

You go to gwalter, and select doh/dol

[wispy forge]

buy these two from Gwalter the merchant

[neon crystal]

so

[raven flint]

Do I need to be a crafting class to use them ?

[neon crystal]

how do i get a one time password lmao

[wispy forge]

nope "all classes" 🙂

[neon crystal]

do i have to pay for it ?

[faint flare]

Or authecatior app

Its optional security

[neon crystal]

how do i turn it off

cuz i can't login

[faint flare]

If you set one up you should have gotten a emergency removal code

Else contact support

[neon crystal]

i didn't set up anything, i downloaded the game and it's asking me to login but there's a one time password thing

[faint flare]

Then leave it blank

Its optional

It's not a required field

[neon crystal]

bruh

why does it not say that

[tame rivet]

where do i get ironworks magitech gear?

[faint flare]

Mor Dhona/main cities sundry splendors

[vast ferry]

does shadowbringers give one of those bonus xp earings?

[warm snow]

It did

Pre order bonus only

[twilit arch]

bonus earrings are tied to the pre-order of expansions, so right now pre-ordering endwalker will give you the menphina's earring

[vast ferry]

darn

[vast ferry]

once endwalker comes around correct?

[twilit arch]

no you will receive the earrings when you apply the pre-order code to your acct

[leaden ginkgo]

quick question, im pretty sure i purchased the game about a year ago, but when i log on it says "13 days of play time remaining"

[twilit arch]

there is a free login campaign running

do i have to renew a subscription to keep playing after that ?

Is Seeking Inspiration (the weekly Idylshire quest for 18 singing clusters) bugged? I unequipped some gear to ensure that I wouldnt get a ShB dungeon in lvling roulette and got The Aery (lvl 55 HW dungeon) and once i got out i still dont have the quest item

[twilit arch]

did you check your key items?

[neon crystal]

I didn't even play yet

[twilit arch]

also you need 3 volumes to turn in the quest

[wintry chasm]

Sounds like you didn't make a free trial account?

[faint flare]

Or wrong launcher

[wintry chasm]

That too

[neon crystal]

I did, i logged in and started downloading, then I stopped it cause I wanted to swap to steam, and now it's fucked

[hasty turtle]

https://i.imgur.com/EmgtQkY.png

what's this quest? infinitely replayable?

[faint flare]

You have to use the non steam launcher

[wintry chasm]

Steam and Not Steam aren't switchable

Since you got a Non-Steam free trial you gotta use the Non-Steam launcher yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

which plan would you recommend?

[wintry chasm]

Yeah, you can just keep doing it every...week? for those items

[boreal storm]

Entry if you don’t plan to get multiple months every time

[faint flare]

It's just repeatable

For abnima

[hasty turtle]

abnima?

[wintry chasm]

typo

[boreal storm]

Anima, HW relic

[neon crystal]

Is steam and the launcher still on the same server?

[hasty turtle]

anima? haha

[wintry chasm]

Yes

[hasty turtle]

idk what that is

[wintry chasm]

Dw about it

[round lotus]

so uh are guild heighst like
important in the begining?

[wintry chasm]

Nahhh

[boreal storm]

No

[faint flare]

No

[wintry chasm]

They kinda act as an extended tutorial but it's pretty pointless

Doesn't even have any good rewards

[twilit arch]

most people just do entry

[round lotus]

ah so not even worth the seals?

[open coral]

Nah

[clear garden]

Hello guys, do treasure map runs give exp? Someone form the FC is asking if they can bring an underleveled character (71+ still)

[faint flare]

No

[open coral]

You can get seals from a lot of other sources more efficiently than doing Guildhests.

[clear garden]

Can they still enter the treasure map portal?

[hasty turtle]

the only decent use they have is as a daily roulette, pretty fast to do and will pay out a few hundred grand company seals, which you can use to level up your rank in the GC

[boreal storm]

I’d do the roulette only between 10-15

[balmy fox]

so i have to do lvling roulette 3 times?

[little swift]

yes

[round lotus]

yeah thats why im asking about them

cus i think gc is the only source of glamour prisms at the beginign

[boreal storm]

You can craft prisms

[little swift]

it doesn't even need the daily bonus active you can just spam leveling roulette

[open coral]

They're not even really good for that. You can get more seals from doing FATEs, your GC hunt log, and your first daily leveling roulette (until you rank up high enough to start doing gear turn ins) than you can from doing Guildhests.

[balmy fox]

the way the quest is worded is confusing, why say "Obtain Volume three...by clearing a dungeon roulette: lvling" instead of "Obtain 3 volumes....by clearing a dungeon roulette: lvling"

[hard aurora]

to justify this, it was said in the dialogue they wanted 3 volumes xd

but yes the quest outline is

annoying

[little swift]

because each volume is labelled in your key items

[round lotus]

kinda scared of crafting at trial tbh lol

[little swift]

"volume 1" "volume 2" "volume 3"

[balmy fox]

sounds good, i'll pop it another time

[open coral]

Crafting is a little harder as a trial since you can't use the MB. But seriously, just do your GC hunt log for seals, rank up to the point where you can do gear turn ins, then just turn in any dungeon gear you don't need anymore for more seals.

[round lotus]

i still need unlock(?) the hunts lol

[boreal storm]

Oh but after you craft something once, you can just skip the process if you have the mats

[open coral]

No, you get the Grand Company Hunt Log when you join your grand company.

It's the same category as your class hunt logs.

[spiral inlet]

should I overmeld my 490 crafting tool if I'm going to get the relics?

[round lotus]

Oh? i been clicking on thing on the wall and thought it was that?..

[open coral]

No, those are The Hunt, which is different.

How can I farm lower level skybuilders material ? My mining is lvl 80 and I'm only finding grade 4 material but I need grade 2

I have a question about something story related. Can’t seem to remember what Estinien said at the end of ARR. if u didn’t get that far dont read. ||I remember he said something to Nigg’s eye in a cutscene. He did say that he’ll kill him “ next “ but I can’t remember what he said beforehand.||

[sturdy notch]

Right click the game -> Manage -> CD Keys

[spice kraken]

thanks, didnt even know this thing existed

[open coral]

If it's in a cutscene, you can go to the inn and interact with the book on the desk, The Unending Journey, to rewatch any cutscene you've experienced.

[leaden ginkgo]

Bettt tysm

[open coral]

Just have to know which quest that scene was associated with.

How can I farm lower level skybuilders material ? My mining is lvl 80 and I'm only finding grade 4 material but I need grade 2

[faint flare]

You dont

You physically can't get old grades anymore

You don't make old grade receipes

Only grade 4

(except artisan/expert receipes)

[sturdy notch]

Ohhhhhh so if my crafters are level 50, I can't level them through Restoration ?

[leaden ginkgo]

how long, hourswise, is shadowbringers just to the end of 5.0 (without any post story)?

[boreal storm]

You can

[faint flare]

You can

Make grade 4

[solid basin]

is there a way to store the walls, floors and ceiling lights in the furniture storage?

[faint flare]

The difficulty is identical

Through the grades

[sturdy notch]

Ahh okay thank you!

[faint flare]

Only the expert receipes got harder

[sturdy notch]

I see it now.

Thank you that was very helpful 🙂

There isn't a general chat

There isn't?, I remember being able to see a bunch of people chatting when in a town

There's no world chat

Closest thing to that is novice network, which requires an invite

[twilit rampart]

What are general purpose dyes? How are they different from normal dyes? Just some rare color that is slightly different (so little I cant notice it) from ordinary dyes?

I got some from deeper levels of potd

[tawdry copper]

I have a level 26 toon, haven't played in years.. Would it be good to just start over?

[twilit arch]

general purpose dyes are just the tradeable version of the dyes in the "rainbow" section of the dye menu

they're basically like the super dark/pale colours + metallic colours

[undone pulsar]

where do i find the summon mount ability??

[faint flare]

In the mount guide after registering mounts to it via their whistles

[undone pulsar]

i used the chocobo item in my bag and that's dissapeared now

so confused

[faint flare]

Character menu button > mount guide

[undone pulsar]

oh i see

ty ty

[proud vector]

is there a site with a list of tradable mounts? so i can get them from the marketplace

[faint flare]

Whatever is the highest ilvl gear available to you

[faint flare]

Ffxivcollect.com shows which mounts are marketable

Weskalber has levelling rotations

On YouTube

[knotty lily]

Theres also some good info for rotations for your job on The Balance, not a bad idea to take a look. Especially once you get to level cap

!faq balance

thanks @faint flare

[blazing pike]

is there some cheap food and pots to make leveling a little faster?

[boreal storm]

Egg

[heavy wadi]

You can just buy boiled eggs

[boreal storm]

[jovial quarry]

Eggs are like 2 gil a piece

[blazing pike]

how about potions?

[heavy wadi]

Nope

[jovial quarry]

There aren’t any potions specifically that speed up the leveling process.

[gritty oracle]

Potions are kinda useless unless you suffer from bad gear problems, and the game chucks them at you anyways.

[blazing pike]

i just want to be stronger

playing paladin and mobs just take a long time to kill

[heavy wadi]

Potions are useless

Except pots at max level

[faint flare]

Keep gear up to date

[boreal storm]

Get better gear

[quiet nova]

can i glamour higher lvl armor than me ?

im 64 the head is 66

i just want the glamour not to equip

[heavy wadi]

No

[faint flare]

No

[quiet nova]

:((((((((((((((((((

oki

[faint flare]

Glamour can't be higher level than your equipped items

[blazing pike]

btw how far in the crystal tower quests starting from the legacy of allag do i have to get before i can return to the msq

Do savage edengate

ah I see. So only the savage drop is dyeable?

[silver lintel]

do thavnairian onions stack?

[dawn cove]

Can i change fc name and tag, if i buy an FC?

[open ember]

Yes

[fierce sleet]

hmmmmmm.... im nearing the end of hw (base heavens ward, not the other chains before stormblood) should i cave and try out crafting? or keep keeping up with buddies that are zug zugging

crafting looks awesome, but being the guy behind idk

[open ember]

I say keep doing msq and do crafting last

But you do you

[zealous flower]

is there any kind of obvious simple gearing path (like tomestone gear for combat jobs) for crafters

for lv50+ onward specifically

[open ember]

Yellow scrip gear

[boreal storm]

Then the all class accessories

For that cap

[fierce sleet]

Oh speaking of gearing, my poetics gear is falling behind, my MSQs are at 59 now. Is there some other gear i should be gunning for like how 50 had poetic ironworks stuff?

[boreal storm]

Idyllshire, get shire gear

[zealous flower]

am i missing some quest or something, all the scrip exchange people i talk to only have the Lv. 50 option

in idyllshire atm

[vast ferry]

how to i get lots of money early on i need to gear up for a quest but i cant afford gear for every slot

[boreal storm]

You really should’ve replaced ironworks by that point

[sleek igloo]

Q) If I buy a job boost from SE, I can still play the story for the job thru New Game+ mode. Correct?

[faint flare]

Yes

[open coral]

If it's the quest I think you're talking about, you only need a hat. Your starting gear has the required ilevel to pass otherwise.

[zealous flower]

i'm talking about yellow scrip crafter gear

[verbal rune]

What are puppet bunker and copied factory coins for?

[faint flare]

Buying tome gear upgrades

[vast ferry]

i wish i knew that now i'm broke

[faint flare]

You need one of each coin

[verbal rune]

Ah, I see

[faint flare]

For cryptlurker upgrades

[vast ferry]

well technically not since i have 1 gil left

[boreal storm]

And the scrip gear is lvl 58

[vast ferry]

so how do i get money this early on

[open coral]

I mean, the quest text literally tells you that you only need to equip head, chest, gloves, legs, and feet with ilevel of 5 or greater.

[fierce sleet]

What does Shire gear cost? still poetics?

[faint flare]

Yes

[open coral]

Do some FATEs, maybe. Or vendor anything in your inventory and armory that you don't need.

[vast ferry]

i thought ilvl was the level needed to equip it

[remote lintel]

ilvl is the gear strength

equip level is the lvl needed to equip it

[open coral]

No, no. ilevel and equip level are listed separately.

You'll see "Item Level 5" on a grey line above the substats, then the "Required Level" and equippable classes (in early game that will usually be Disciple of War or Disciple of Magic) below that line.

[vast ferry]

i don't have anything of value everythings 1-2 gil

[open coral]

Do some FATEs or Levequests

[faint flare]

Just keep doing story really, and fates now and then

[open coral]

You're not going to have things that are really worth a lot for now.

[faint flare]

You only use gil on teleports

[vast ferry]

i literally can't do the story

[zealous flower]

oh i guess i'm meant to get blue scrip tokens with yellow scrip and use those and it's hidden in the middle of the misc crap, lol

[open coral]

You'll just have to live with walking everywhere until you get more.

Do some Levequests. If you're lucky, you'll get a hat from one of them.

[vast ferry]

i need a hat and only have 1 gil after buying stuff for every other slot because i'm an idiot

[boreal storm]

You can also buy the lvl 58 gear to hold you over

[open coral]

Oh wait

You might not be able to do levequests yet.

[vast ferry]

isn't that after the level 10 quest

[zealous flower]

i'm pretty sure i can't, or who is supposed to sell that?

[open coral]

Do some FATEs. Or some of the low level

[zealous flower]

oh nm

[open coral]

They won't be worth a ton of gil, but it should be enough to get you back up to a point where you can buy an appropriate hat.

[wintry trellis]

can i run unsynced for green Bitter Memories of the Dying

[faint flare]

No

It explicitly says synced

Can't unsync any of Shadowbringers steps

[wintry trellis]

[open ember]

Is quite long

[granite zephyr]

alright cool

And I thought ARR was long

[blazing spear]

Just to ask can anyone please tell where to go on this discord if I wanna play with other people

[open coral]

Just like, in general?

What role (Tank/DPS/Healer) would be recommended for a first-time player of FFXIV, who wants to have a chill learning experience for the game.

[faint flare]

Any

They're all pretty simple at base

[random spoke]

Anyone run across a audio bug in Praetorium dungeon?

[noble quartz]

What is my, "End Goal", is to push the higher-end hard pve content, such as Savage?

[faint flare]

If you want to do that

Then sure

Your goal is whatever you want it to be

[desert saddle]

is there a problem to at least unlock every job I can, now that I got to level 10 or is it better to focus on my starting job first? Or at least in my city, I wanna test some other stuff

[dusty shard]

where do I exchange for Senorita Sabotender ?

[faint flare]

Campaign attendant

Bottom of the steps near the mini cactpot broker

[dusty shard]

thx

[pure zenith]

mmo endgoals are typically whatever you want, some its story, some its higher end pve
but if you want the all encompassing answer, glamour (fashion) because thats the goal that will take you to every corner of the game

[noble quartz]

Well I was just, wondering if, say playing a DPS over say a Tank would infact be in general less stressful for a new player? Sorry for the vague questions, I'm one of those WoW Refugees, where the idea of Tanking/Healing was made out to be super-stressy, while DPS kinda just had an overall easier time at things, outside of queue times that is.

[faint flare]

Tanking is braindead here

[noble quartz]

I'm trying my best to kick out the, "WoW" mindset.

[faint flare]

Put stance up > hit things > use defensive Cooldowns

Boom you're better than a vast majority of tanks

[noble quartz]

Lol really?

[faint flare]

Yes

Some people struggle with step 3

[noble quartz]

Any of the tanks stand out?

[faint flare]

Some with step 2

They're all equal

!faq meta

How FFXIV's Meta Works

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

Q) How does retainer job/class matter? Can certain retainers bring back certain types of items more frequently?

[faint flare]

Combat retainers share a pool

[boreal storm]

Combat brings combat drops

[faint flare]

Gathering retainers have their own pools

[smoky badger]

whats the best healer for soloing stuff? Or rather, which would give me the easiest time? as far as leveling/questing goes and fates and what nto

[faint flare]

Retainers can't pass your level on that job

[faint flare]

All of them

[toxic berry]

I'm looking for a decent UI layout to download, is there something generally acceptable up for taking?

[faint flare]

All jobs can solo fates and Story

Otherwise that would be garbage gane design

[vast ferry]

is it just me or is fire II an awful spell

[faint flare]

Yep

[vast ferry]

it centers on you so your forced to be in melee range to use it

[faint flare]

Once you get freeze you dint use it until 50

Fire 2 isn't centred on you

Thats blizzard 2

[vast ferry]

orright blizard 2 my b

[faint flare]

But yes blizzard 2 is garbage and immediately replaced by freeze when you get it

But still it's aoe in low level so moderately worth

[tulip zinc]

do you need a party for Bozja? I die super easy trying to kill a small pack of enemies

[faint flare]

Nope

Just use essenses

[leaden ginkgo]

uh plunge is non issue in diamond EX right? making sure before i plunge to death....had that happened in e3n when i tried to plunge in left platform of levi when there is a split

[faint flare]

Don't fight rank 3 or higher mobs unless yoy have essences

[vast ferry]

not really it can't be used at range and does very little damage which just leads to you getting swamred by a ton of enemies

[faint flare]

No cause it's hitbox is on the platform
