"port to the firmament"
oh kk, it's mostly in case i see a long queue when i log and to see if i have enough time to leave it on while i shower or so xD
What chat setting hides /random annoucments
What could i buy with the scripts in firmamaent to make the most gill?
Is there a way to replay the msq with a new buddy or would i need a new character
New game plus
ng+
If i do ghimlyt dark solo unsynced do i still get the poetics?
No

hi, im level 30 what would be the best armor for me?
Level 30 gear
In terms of dungeon stuff, Haukke Manor gear
umm, that is the firmament.
ye was asking if there was a faster way to get to it aside from having to go to gavekeeper
my mistake.
That reads "port to the firmament"
oh i see, thanks.
also another question, what the best tank?
All of them
there is no best tank
!faq meta
all of them perform the same
Just press your buttons better
ff14 balance is insanely well polished
hmm
all jobs are more or less equally balanced
how do you get dark knight
reach ishgard
!faq hwjobs
Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (DRK, Tank), Astrologian (AST, Healer), and Machinist (MCH, Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Since the 5.3 update DRK, AST, and MCH are now included in the free trial/Starter edition of the game, though the unlock requirements are still the same.
Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
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".
is the our end a main quest?
End of arr
end of arr
Start of heavensward
you need to enter hw content to access
since its in the main heavensward city
which is ishgard
I'm new to Ishgard restoration and how do i obtain those Approve Grades materials?
Talk to the approver
Next to the diadem entrance npc
After gathering in the diadem
Need stacks of 5 to approve
Alright, Thanks :)
Can also buy from the marketboard
does changing jobs reset your character level?
Just make sure it’s grade 4
no
There is no character level
each job has its own independent level
All job levels are separate
say you have a samurai at 60, and you want to try out dark knigh
your sam remains at 60
your drk will be at 30
i see
I haven't played in six years. I'm installing the game now. Looking at my character, I'm a 57 summoner and 57 scholar. I assume they are paired.
I'm also a 16 gladiator and a 16 conjurer but that's just a coincidence right?
what can i buy with company seals to make gil?
thats coincidence
I'm also a 30 Dark Knight and a 15 Thaumaturge
I got a little bit into the Heavensward expansion. I assume it was my scholar and summoner getting me through that.
So, I've been playing FFXIV on Primal Famfrit for awhile now, got a couple classes to 60 and about halfway through stormblood. A friend is asking me to change to Spriggan in EU, and I was wondering:
What do I lose by doing that? Do I have to start a new character, or a new account entirely?
You can just transfer for $18
And lose nothing
You'll have to leave your Fc and give up any housing/apartment but that's it
Is there an ingame guide that will help me through all the stuff I forgot?
Okay, thank you, much appreciated

There's a feature called new game plus where you can replay sections of the story, if that's something you want to do
You can read the journal entries for quests and rewatch cutscenes in any inn
And re read active help under system
question, do i talk to the axemaster guy in limsa to become a warrior?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
which color here is the default for fc chat? i want to reset ithttps://i.imgur.com/HlnMOUA.png
Can anyone give me a cool mount I’m lvl 39 just started
Are mount/exploration unlocks account or charactar bound?
Well, 1: unless you completed the chocobo quest, you won’t be able to use it
I did
2: begging is not allowed
I’m not begging
Everything is character locked
If you mean aether currents, that’s character
Except for account mounts and preorder/collectors/veteran rewarss
If you mean buying mounts, it depends
There isn't many things account wide
anyone know? ;-;
I have 30k
I recall in the heavensward areas I can "unlock flying"
Would that apply only to the charactar?
Yes
You do realize you can cash in your achievements for certain mounts, right?
Everything is character locked
I'm debating starting a new chracter vs continuing on my old one from six years ago.
Yes but I don’t have enough
There isn't many thing that are account wide
All things that are progression related are character locked.
Then keep progressing in game, instead of asking for free stuff.
The game will also give you cool mounts if you put in the effort and time to earn them
This is worth preserving right?
I’d say it’s worth keeping, yes
It’s progress you don’t have to redo, just mechanics to relearn
Yes
Click the speech bubble and change the mode

I just did Shadowkeeper and that fight confused the f+ck out of me
do the speed increase items affect flying in ShB zones?
flying is always max speed
why are they in the game then lol, im so confused
for ground speed
anyone know the average hours to get from 70-80 or to finish the msq for that part
Okay so, just to be sure
If its on all fours, then does a back, it does a full 180
With the shadow
If the shadow is infront
Pardon
If it raises it's head it's frontal...if it's raises it's back then it's a rear aoe
If the shadow spawns, that's now the bosses back
Alright, so here is wher ei got confused.
On Bipedal, if he is gonna swing left, and the shadow appears behind him.
He rotates... 90 degrees?
OH IT JUST CLICKED IN MY HEAD
Right right
THank yeh, just hard to get the right feel on the spot
So if he's cleaving left (West) but the shadow is infront, he's cleaving right (East)
Hopefully i recall for next time, thanks
What races typically look good in Caster glams?
Subjective! Especially on such a broad topic, "Caster glam" can be almost anything, truly 🤔
hyur
what class should i make my retainers?
Well I mean, almost anything, besides, mail/plate/leather.
You know, stuff casters typically don't wear
If youre trying to find help for deciding though, head to Eorzea Collection and filter by caster jobs for body piece and see what pops out.
Hell apparently they even have a link for it here:
https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamours/casters
anything that you have leveled, ideally. retainers can't outlevel you on whatever job you give them
generally recommended to do one combat job, one gathering
Your retainers level can never be higher than a level -you yourself are on that class-. So dont make it a bard if you have it at level 20, etc. etc.
what classes do you unlock right at lvl50 and what classes do you need to finish msq lvl 50?

Any expansion jobs NOT DRK / MCH / AST are unlocked after beating base ARR, with a level 50 class (or level 60 if GNB / DNC)
Can someone tell me what number story quest is the one where ||it involves Chrysalis||? I'm just getting done with ||Flagrante Delicto|| and wanted to have an idea of how far I am from it. And it's hard to look it up without exact spoilers
2.4?
Number? Well, that trial was added in Patch 2.5 part 1, so by completing that and Patch 2.5 "Part 2" you'll be moving on to Heavensward. Not sure what FD is but, yeah
IM STUCK HOW I GET THIS? I WENT THERE 3 ROLE QUEST I CANT DO ANY
!faq rolequest
Sorry, I meant something more like, if there was something that kept track of the story quests in order like, this one is #88 and the other is #110 or something
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
You're literally standing on one
OH
you're 13 quests away from the quest involving that trial
You are like, here-ish in the grand scheme of things up to now, hope that helps
I AM HEADING THE RIGHT WAY?
ultimately like 30 quests or so away from entering HW
Thank you so much!
And also thank you, that's insane
yes thats one of the role quest chains
does the little "station" a DoH job uses to synth upgrade appearance as you level up?
no the little station you whip out while crafting
those actually (somewhat) change based on your main hand
ah ok
iirc the off hand version doesn't change
i thought it looked different but thought maybe i was going crazy lol
but the ones that make use of the main hand are going to take appearance of what you've got in your main hand
Yes, now can you please disable caps lock
i was told i get a mount at lvl 15 and i didn’t get one did i miss something?
its not lvl 15. the quest for the mount is lvl 20, and is after you join a grand company in the main scenario quest
ah okay thankyou i now know who to yell at lmao
I left my FC. Now, I wanted to know if it's possible to play this game without a FC ?
Ok
where i can get a lvl 9 thauma. weap? I think i sold mines at some point
uh so i think i preorder endwalker, i go to enter the key and the key wont work?
gotta wait till it is released
ah
Buy it from the merchants in any major city
yes
where did you pre-order
and you also bought the rest of the game from the SE store?
no just endwalker for $40 (39.99)
so you don't own the starter edition?
then where did you buy the game itself from
the square enix store
😔
can you please just screenshot your mogstation page and post it here
how to get second chance points in wandrous tails?
do instance content with new players to that instance
Be in a duty with a first timer
for some reason im not getting a notication when someone joins my fc how do i enable it/fix it?

nope, level them all together
ok but thats a lot lol

Hi guys, it is one time reward? Or i can do it multiple times? :3
you can repeat it as much as you want for the 200 poetics
doing msq roulette adds 300 to it
How do I get a friend code for my friend I want to get to play
there's a recruit a friend image banner on the "your account" page of the mogstation
click on that to generate a code
it's one time reward per day?
or i can do multiple times?
Roulettes are daily
thanks.
I dont see it 🤕
do iw ant determination, crit hit or direct hit?
for some reason im not getting a notication when someone joins my fc how do i enable it/fix it?
hi I have a question, can you play orchestration rolls in your apartment?
are you in an instance
nope
or in another world
im in town
yes
weird, it should show it in the text chat
you can place an orchestrion inside
https://i.imgur.com/GCIGr0m.png also need to have an active sub to be able to generate it
which will allow you to play any music sheet you may have used and unlocked
oh sweet! thanks! 😄
"Announcements"
im under announcements rn what am i lookin for
wtf, i can't freaking pay the game on the webpage -_-;
do they even want money when they wont even let you pay it :v
@twilit arch does the first 30 days of time when I buy it not count?
the 30 days free from the starter/complete edition do count as active sub
and there should be "Free Company Announcements"
do you mean wondrous tails
Thanks I found it idk why it wasn't showing up at first but I'm choosing to blame the site and not myself
also out of curiosity what are the best items to mass craft as a lvl70 omnicrafter to get yellow scrips to buy my hand king set
whatever has the cheapest materials for you
or has the least amount of stuff to gather
out of the highest yellow scrip recipe you have access to
^
generally whatever you can gather, but i find leatherworker or armorer to have the ones with the least annoying ones ot obtain last i recall
but any are absolutely fine as long as you can actually get the stuff
tbh i just want to know which is the easiest or cheapest to buy mats for
can't tell you that because every datacenter's mb is different
i cannot give an objective answer becaus that entirely depends on your market and how much you can actually gather yourself
you have to go look yourself
marketboard prices are always going to be on you to do the research of
fair but i did also mention easiest to get as in gather
as ive got a 58 miner and 69 btn
again
they're all going to be relatively easy to gather tbh
also depends on how good your gear is if you're going to be making a 70 collectable
but avoid culinarian for sure, they objectively need more materials gathered than the ohters
you need so much shit
but i heard cul is best for white scrips
as you can spam a lemonade thing
lemonade spam is okay
uhhh look at Rarifed DOman Iron Uchigatana
it's like the same tier as everything else but the materials are generally oaky to gather or mixed with cheaper material
for white or yellow
yellow if you 'er below 70
if you're above 70 you can do Rarified White Ash Earrings as that only needs 2 mats but the materials areo nly gatherable in shadowbringers zone and it's level 76
then just do Rarified Doman Iron Uchigatana as an okay baseline yellow scrip farm
seems kinda pricy 52k for 25 of the ingots alone
meh ill look into it in the morning as its 3:40am rn
So, Starting from Complete 0 in the Bozjan zones
I'm on the first one-time grind for Resistance Weapon, is it faster to do Fate or do HW/Sb Alliances
How long would it take, from now to the finale?
You have to do quite a bit of leveling up in there. Double digit hours, but hard to give a really good estimate
Well I guess thx you for your anwser
You could probably finish within a week then
Does the game get harder after ARR because nothing seems challenging
the main scenario quest really isn't going to get much harder for the most part
when is the best time of day for raid finding? specifclly rabinastre
its kept at a fairly casual difficulty
nothing in the story is meant to be challenging
most of the difficulty from the game is going to be from savage/ultimate raids
anyone wanna clear second coils 2 on aether?
a tiny bit
sb trials pick up difficulty a little
its never hard in normal msq
but it gets more complex in a fun way
is there a macro command that is uhh 180 degrees of a /facetarget ?
What does wt mean in party finder
wondrous tails
Hey anyone know what random number generator /random goes up too?
thanks!
does that mean the markets aren't actually global?
afaik they aren't
they are, its a leftover from old content
Does it go from 1-999?
huh
So does it matter which market my retainer sells in?
ye
everytime I've listed something it says it's selling on the ul'dah market
yep
thanks!!
im pretty sure its random and it does change afaik
iirc its not random
its based on how much is being sold in that market i believe? not sure
im running out of stuff to buy with yellow crafter scripts but im still incidentally accumulating them throughv various tasks
wtf do people dp
Hey guys, got a question/problem-
I had my Square Enix account deleted recently because it was accidentally on the japanese server, and I wanted a NA one.
It's all set up, but I bought a "Heroes journey" dark knight item to take me back to where I was before on my old account- Except it took me to lv.70 not 60. I obviously wouldn't care that much, except it looks like now I miss out on the lv.70 dark knight quest reward, "Abyss armor coffer", which I'd really like to have for glamour purposes. Any way I can get it?
Ahh ok, thanks
(I THINK!)
where do i spend poetics?
hey can anyone help me finding glamour

i think i have a weird bug. i had the returner icon next to my name, but i traveled to another world to visit a friend's server, and it changed it to a sprout. i traveled back to my home world and i still have the sprout. anyone know how to change it back to returner, or just take it off?
how do I get HQ laurel if i can't use skills to get it since the hq rate is at 0 percent? I'm level 35 on botanist
You need better gear
Your returner time ran out.
Sounds like your returner time simply ran out
oh right forgot to change out gear, thanks!
if my returner time ran out, then i should have nothing right? not sprout? that's backwards
HQ chance is dependent on your perception stat, if your perception is too low you can't get HQ items at all
There's no hierarchy in novice network symbol
Nothing higher than the other
You are there to help each other out. You can simply just change your symbol
By changing your search info
so it's there because of the novice network?
If you don't like the sprout
Yeah, it just shows people that you haven't finished stormblood
Change it on your search info
Sprout shows up because you haven't fulfilled the criteria to clear it, which is a certain amount of playtime and completion of Stormblood
Even if you manually change it on your search info it will eventually change back to sprout automatically
Until you get to the point where it gets removed
i see
/nastatus off
That
oh interesting I didn't know that existed
Summoner job quest I'm assuming?
Yes!
oh i see!
I was desperately trying to go to that undiscovered location lol
thank you!
what is the max aether arms and armor level for floors 51-60?
where can i find the lvl 70 poetics vendor?
Kugane/Rhalgr's Reach
so i checked my journal, i actually have completed stormblood msq
Post sb too
thx
it's strange through. i'm fairly certain i did not have sprout before i left the game a while back
You get returner regardless
Just change your status if you don't like the sprout
i did have returner
If you don't lose returner, you revert back to sprout
it went away yesterday. now i have sprout
iirc
you get sprout again if you're not at the ShB story
ok. basically i just wanted to make sure it wasn't a bug. because the timing of me losing returner, and getting sprout, coincided with me teleporting to a nother server and back, just seemed suspicious to me for a minute
cause like yesterday i teleported back, signed out, then i log in today and it's changed from returner to sprout. seemed weird
ok next question, what's the first post storm blood quest? lol i don't have ShB
Arenvald's Adventure?
is there a way to know what the name of a certain zone song is, its not the usual song I always hear but its playing now and its amazing but cant find it online
im outside the gnath zone

found it im dumb, was looking at the wrong zone lol

Hey guys Im thinking about making a new character and I have the goal of buying a house what server should I make it on?
Uh 
Any server you'd like
And you're gonna need a lot of praying
Arent some easier though because of lower pop?
housing was Housing (Savage) at ShB launch
there will still be people who want to buy a house on every server
now it's Housing (Ultimate)
itll be hell when the ishgard housing comes out
What level would a blacksmith need to be in order to satisfy all the weapon requirements for the ARR relics?
you dont need to craft anything anymore
i believe you can just buy the items with seals
and trade them to an npc
From the GC?
dispelling arrows are for anima
I need 2 cesti with certain materia welded onto them
not ARR relic
what is the requirement for getting level 70 poetics gear? i’m done the base stormblood quests
you would need a lv50 blacksmith to craft the cesti
vendors in kugane or rhalgrs reach
I completed my road block 🙂
Is that the same for all the other job's relics as well
Does anyone know if it is possible to remove the one time password authentication on your phone without waiting for the support team? I can't log on my account because my phone authentication one time password requires me to get a temp one time password from the official website but i can't even log on without a one time password.
no, the other lv50 items required for that step are going to need other crafters
Is the dark knight a good tank? I think I want to play him when I reach heavansward
when you got it the first time they should have given you a code to reset it right?
You were given an emergency password when you applied 2fa to your account and the page stated to put it somewhere safe
if you didn't save that password then you have to wait for support
all jobs are good
Does this server have a channel that would be good to group up with other blue mages for duty finder?
there's a discord for blue mage content, Blue Academy
dark knight and paladin have MP management. not as bad as healers or casters, but be prepared for that XD
Oh cool, hopefully I can find the link
Management is a strong word
Thanks so much ❤️
then you're out of luck and have to wait for support.
Bozja raid still the best most efficient place to get Loathsome memories?
Where do I take this?
its one of the possible turn ins for kurenai's custom delivery
so if you haven't unlocked her/its not the requested item, either save it for when you do/it is or toss it
does anyone know if HoH gives you access to a lvl 70 kit if you start from floor 20 without having to do the class quests or nah? got my mch to 60 through pvp and i dont wanna go back just yet since i have literally no gear for it
Im in the early half of heavensward right now, bought full ironwork gear Im only missing the boots and weapon now, should I also farm the ears neck wrists and rings? cause It will take a while to farm all those poetics, and by the time they're farmed maybe I reach Stormblood. Opinions?
you should be looking to improve your gear as much as possible through heavensward and stormblood, especially stormblood, because scaling through those levels is kind of broken
you don't need to go out of your way to farm a full set of poetics
that said, you should buy the weapon first
weapon is your biggest boost to dmg
its its always number 1 priority
doing your roulettes both levels you fast and gives you plenty of tomes
ultimately tho, the msq will give you gear that covers you just fine
find a nice omnicrafter they can probably get you gear cheap/free up to 70ish
where do i make friends
what exactly does this mean
other parties recruiting
beside levelling dungeons and level 50/60/70
7 and 1
does that mean 7 parties wanna do 50/60/70
I have a weird question guys, so when I reached level 80 doing the MSQ, and there's still more MSQ, can I swap to my second job when completing the quest to receive the rewards?
and 1 party in the whole of my server wants to do levelling
it means there are 7 parties in the party finder listed for that roulette
I'm assuming you can't party find for trials and MSQ? or people just never do that
its not really something big to worry about 99.9999% of the time
you can
because I always see the first 2 with numbers and trials/msq 0
you're right lol XD
if you go into party finder, you can see what exactly they're advertising for
those are usually spam ads though, noone really puts roulettes on PF
if its the appropriate level of the msq. so if the msq is 71, second job needs to be 71 as well
oooh okay, thank you
i just started doing palace of the dead, how do you get Gelmorran Potsherd?
and followup how do you turn the disembodied head resonator into a mount? (i thought mounts were always the horn/whistle icon)
So how exactly are things supposed to be adjusted once belts are removed? Is every class just going to get a stat buff to make up for it? Or are all other pieces of equipment going to receive boost?
there's a low chance of them dropping from bronze chests, and iirc you are assured one when you clear floor 50.
you use the resonator just like any other mount, right click >use @untold willow
they are recalculating stats as well so it will likely be a combo
ah okay ty, are all the bag icons like the one for that mount then also mounts?
I'm pretty sure they're likely going to get rid of the fist buffs for Monk and add attack stat buffs to make up for it as well.
oh ok
After they got rid of greased lightning, they went back to being completely useless.
i wish it was a bit more clear sometimes ~_~
The stat parameters you gained from Belts will be relocated elsewhere coming this expansion due to the removal of belt slot.
#translations-and-liveletters message
Still not sure why they got rid of greased lightning, it switching between forms gave combat an interesting twist.
Keeping up wind to keep the boost, and deciding when to use tornado kick to start over.

Drove me crazy when I saw people not switching to flame until they got their greased lightning up to three. <_<
this isn't a vent channel
what are the best ways to make gil without crafting/gathering classes?
Was just an aside.
do treasure maps, sell allegory crafting materials
does Ctrl+Shift+V do anything?
still isn't the place for it
for treasure maps, would i still be making gil in the long run if i have to buy them?
depends on how lucky you are
Is there any decent way of making money with a fully-leveled fisher retainer?
you can get minions through ventures, though its very rng
i actually cannot remember the name bc im stupid rn, but its the 1 hour venture where you don't choose what theyre gathering
^ also that
it doesnt sell as fast as chili crab, but on my server it goes for like 1k each crab
Certain fish required for leves could probably fetch a decent price too.
to add onto making gil as a non-dol/doh, doing your daily roulettes while its not a lot of gil, is decent amount
and will add up over time
guys what are the differences between the data centers?
Don't suppose there are time-sensitive fish required for leves that can be caught using retainer, those ones tend to be very sparse on the marketboard.
there's datacenters for each region, so aether/primal/crystal for na, separate ones for eu, jp, etc
Not much, unless your'e on Crystal.
^
crystal is the casual/rp datacenter
so i absolutely would not recommend it if you really want to do savage/ultimate
Casual? It's a legacy datacenter., nothing casual about it. XD
casual as in like
hardcore crafting, but there isn't much of a raiding community
when i check pf for pugs, i literally know 80% of the people in it because the raiding community is so small
crystal isn't a legacy datacenter...
but regardless, its possible to find raiders on crystal
Balmung, Gilgamesh, and others are legacy servers.
it's possible, i just wouldn'
Oh wait.
crystal doesn't have gilga
Gilgamesh is gone isn't it?
*wouldn't recommend it if you're picking your datacenter right now
also crystal was created back in 2019
Okay fine it's an offshoot of a legacy datacenter.
Is Balmung the only legacy server on there?
Either way its a moot point
you can raid just fine on crystal
it ultimately doesn't matter which datacenter you choose
you definitely can, but i just think that its something to keep in mind
it'll mean even less when data center visit release
Actually now that you mention it...
yes, lightning outfit can go into the armoire
i play on crystal, but i regularly regret it because of how small the raiding community is. it's still possible to find a static/etc, but if you want like
is there a mount for leveling all classes to 60 or 70? similar to how the amaro mount is 80
no
a hardcore static, or so on, it genuinely is really hard to find one
Since 2019 I notice that I've had a lot less assholes get on me during duties for mistakes I made.
Thought part of that might be because of the new zero-tolerance policy they introduced to the ToS.
how do I change my retainer base job
so right now shes stuck as a black mage 35 becos I stoped played black mage
how do i change her into a conjurer
need to reset the class
should be the last option on the retainer menu
do make sure to remove any gear that you've equipped on them
oh right the weapon
I know that you can boost jobs to levle 70, but you can't boost DoH?
o wait speaking of datacenter travel, has there been any news on what that entails?
not yet
guess who started on crystal because they only knew 1 person who played ff14?
LMAO that was me too
correct, doh/dol have an active effect on the economy
i dont wanna be a casual :C
at the moment we know its only going to be between the region for now
i.e if you're on NA datacenter, you can only visit to other NA datacenters
ahh that makes sense LOL
what restrictions are gonna be, etc specifically we do not know
I think they may exampt Asmongold's datacenter from datacenter visit. :x
no
im moving to gilgamesh
and this isnt the place for wild speculation like that
please no my alt is on cactuar
how do i receive memories of the dying in bozja? i remember getting them in HW fates, but i didnt get a single one in bozja fates
38 fing levels
1 week playing this shit
Still not the place for it
is it best to finish MSQ before leveling up alt jobs? and DoH/DoL?
bozja fates are rng for those
same here, doing Post ARR now.. where you at/
doing the sylph questline
its generally recommend to do dol/doh when you're max lvl and done with msq as it'll be a lot easier to level them. you'll have more gil to work with, plus a lot of stuff either unlocked or available to unlock
so it's normal to play bozja fates 15+ times and not a single memory?
i hate fairies >:(
for alt jobs, you can do it whenever, but doing it once you're finished with msq will just make it a bit easier
rng is rng
yes, it happened to me regularly when i was relic farming
generally tho if you're doing that step in bozja, its recommended to find a cluster farm party
yeah that's what I thought, I honestly can't be bothered learning other jobs or doing doh/dol.. Kinda like my paladin, and want to finish the MQ first with one job
UGH EVERYTHING IS FULL FOR NEW CHARACTERS
well, better late than never
since its easier to get all 3 memories since the party will be spread across the zone, and you can receive the memories from the mobs other party members are fighting
what is asmon's data center?
Aether I think
Is it me, or does the game seem to make det seem more important than it actually is? I've always kind of felt it did.
whats better for exp? msq or potd for 50-60
The game doesn’t do anything to make det seem important 
msq roulette?
Is there a way to know when a server will be open for new characters?
MSQ Roulette, you mean? or going through the MSQ?
MSQ roulette daily
ooh i see
Roulette rewards are only once a day
the only roulette rewards u can get multiple times in a day are for adventurer in need
Which are tiny and not worthwhile.
yep
the only time i would say they're useful is for getting enough seals to unlock expert delivery for your gc
if theres an issue in renewing my subscription like my card expiring do I just gotta wait for the process to fail before I can fix it
You can change your payment info.
I’ve once canceled my sub (doesn’t take away my remaining game time) and immediately resubbed for the next month with new payment info
its through steam I changed my paymen info but mogstation is saying its trying to recurring
you may get the usual $1 refunded charge when you switch so they know it's an active card
when tank swapping, how do I Shirk to the other tank without manually doing it?
if you have tanks on top you can macro a shirk button to list player 2 or whatever
is there a trading channel for this discord?
that way you don't have to manually target them
so what is a thaumaturge and is it only a prerequisite for black mages or is it also a prereq for other mage classes?
how do I do that?
Aside from the once-a-day duty finder thingy, how do you level up other classes quickly? I'm realizing that doing the MSQ as Dark Knight may not be the best idea, just due to how slow and low-damage it is, wondering if I should do MSQ as Machinist.
fates while spamming the highest dungeon you can that isn't 50, 60, or 70, beast tribes, PotD up to 50? 60?, and HoH at 61
/merror off
/ac "shirk" <2>```
is there a trading channel?
So I'd need to do 30-50, so just spam the duty finder? How fast is PotD?
sorry I don't understand
probably want at least 4 lines of /ac "Shirk" <2>
do I open a menu or something?
@ripe ginkgo potd is good only if you have slow dungeon queue
Dungeons are always better
why put micron at botton of the macro
@tepid stag slightly faster macro
You want to write down multiple lines of shirk too, to make it more responsive
Just fill the macro
so what is a thaumaturge and is it only a prerequisite for black mages or is it also a prereq for other mage classes?
0 reason not to
@urban grotto just BLM
don't forget the <>
Can someone just type out the whole thing
and ""
A thaumaturge is a magician or miracle-man.
kk thx!
"" is not necessary for shirk since it is just one word
just for black mage
@urban grotto only ARR jobs has class-job promotion
Expansion Jobs doesn't have base class
ohhh ok
is there a point to crafting fc 1 and 2 buffs instead of just buying them from gc?
okay so just like this
how accurate is this: https://www.gamepur.com/guides/best-servers-to-join-in-final-fantasy-xiv
Yup, put /merror off on top
how can I get gear while leveling up a crafter, it's so hard to craft stuff when my gear is so bad
And copy paste the shirk line as many times as possible
and repeat it in a new line about 10-12 times
@leaden ginkgo craft slightly better crafter gear
why is this?
Which should be doable with your current gear
@frozen thistle to make it more responsive
Macro, by intentional design, is not very good
It isn't accurate theres no sourcing
Someone pulled numbers out of their ass
it does it so fast if it still thinks you're doing an action it might not activate and it goes to the next line
play on whatever server you want, if you have friends, play with your friendos imo
Yes
yup
Yes
do I have to be an armorer?
what is a friend lmao
yo true
13 lines of south and then at the bottom put /micon shirk
thank you guys
@leaden ginkgo to be self sufficient, we recommend leveling crafters together
will try it out in a dungeon 🙂
It has no use in dungeons
Having micon set is important since it makes the cooldown timer display
Otherwise you will be spending gils buying materials from other crafters
we'll see how jank data center travel will be, if it's decent you don't even need to worry about data center for friends
just to check if the macro work, thats okay right?
It will work
if an item is unique can I have one in my glamour dresser and one in inventory?
Yes
It will work
@unreal badge they just cannot exist in the same pocket
okie thank you 🙂
Make sure you put micon at the bottom though
but for all you fc people, is there a point of crafting fc 1/2 buffs instead of just buying them?
/micon shirk
each retainer inventory is separate, your chocobo item stash is separate, glamour box is separate, even the armory is separate i believe
So, iirc, you can even have one each on your retainers
what is the difference between storing an item on the glamour dresser vs armoury?
Glamour dresser is your bank. Armory is your wallet.
if you mean the armoire only certain specific items can go in there
Armoury chest and armoire are very different things btw
Oh, armoire
dresser allows you to make glamour plates so you don't need to use prisms, armory is typically things you get only one time, lets you stash it
Armoire only store certain seasonal items, achievements items, and ARR artifact gears
so everything that i put in my glamour dresser i can glamour for free?
you pay a prism once to put it into your glamor chest, the plate uses are free in major cities, if you want to switch between two glams and not pay prisms
hell if its all the same class you can have 15 glam plates to switch between
can i glamour 1 item from the dresser or only plates?
or if its all lev 1 glam
Oh, if your gear has item durability below 100, they can't go into glamour dresser
You don’t have to fill all the slots
can i retrieve items from the dresser?
Can just put a helm glam and it’ll only glam your helm when you use it
Yes
Need to use another glamour prism if you want to put it back
My accessories slot on my plates are always blank
what is this for?
can i put uniques in my dresser?
@spice kraken yes
just don't put lev 80s in if they are your best in that slot unless you want to get another one with tomes, money, etc
so i can have 15 plates per job?
!myglam drk
if you like a certain armor look, but it's only for tanks, you can't glam it onto healer or DPS gear
I just swap Job, and their corresponding plates will swap the look
so its a good idea to make a plate for all my crafting jobs right?
If you want to, sure
They works like Transmog in destiny or wow
aside from scrip gear, most crafting gear goes onto all professions
Layered armor in Monster Hunter
can i store infinite items in my dresser?
400
so you really only need one plate for crafting jobs
Iirc
yeah, im a wow refugee xd
are glams interchangeable between jobs of the same role?
as long as it doesn't specify only Dragoon or only Weaver or only White Mage
As most gears are role based
gotcha, thanks!
its mostly DoL/DoH (gathering and crafting) where scrip gear specifies one specific class
So if you have a plate with general hat, tank chest, healer glove, general pants, general boots
When your tank use the plate, it will grab everything except the glove
and then the other thing is a level 80 caster gear can't glam onto a lower level gear
lol what
is there a way to disable the glamour msg in chat every time I swap jobs
so you can't look like your level 80 Summoner if your glam uses level 80 gear and your red mage is level 50
A more specific way to say it is "fashion piece cannot break the equip requirement of the stat piece"
ooooh, i get it now
If the stat piece is a lvl 30 healer gear, then you cannot make it look like a lvl 50 healer gear, or a lvl 20 tank gear
a lot of pure glam stuff like the 2B glam is level 1 to ensure you can use it at any point
Level 1 All Class
what limitations are there to the chocobo saddlebag inventory? Can I still interact with stuff as I would my normal inventory? For example, if I put fishing bait and lures into the chocobo saddlebag, when I fish, will it allow me to fish using the bait directly from chocobo saddlebag, or do I have to move it back into my regular inventory?
have to move it
It doesn’t count as being in your inventory.

well that sucks
Chocobo saddlebag is not unlike retainer inventory in that context
but you can access it anywhere, not just at the retainer bell XD
does crafting class quest give a lot exp? or should I focus on crafting after getting to level 80?
@hearty fable a lot
ok thanks
you also get more XP the more full your HQ bar is if it goes NQ
In Heavensward, I grinded all my crafters to lvl 60 only to find out that I missed about 1.5 levels worth of exp from the quests
@naive kraken yeah
cool, and are trade leve better than battle elve for exp?
Miles
it's more apparent when you get to HW leves
ok better save my allowances
ARR leves have you running all over ARR zones
oh so not at level 35?
nope
even before level 35 tradecraft leves are significantly better in terms of exp
ah ok
Battle leve are just meh
cool so still do them
because battle classes have dungeons for exp leveling
10x battle leves aren't bad for speed if you don't need the leves for crafting
I don't get what this means
Yeah, but it only exist in HW
at what level an armorer can desynth equipment? because all my crafter could desynth but armorer cant for some reason
Heavensward has large scale leve that consume 10 leve quota in one go
They are decent if you are in a hurry
But not good when compared to 10 individual leve added up together
is there a way to avoid clicking on a pet thats flying around your face?
is solo lvling as a dps faster than as a tank?
if you mean leveling alt usually slower
since tank queues almost instantly and DPS if you are unlucky can reach 15 mins
i mean leveling my first job
no
i was playing as a marauder and it takes so long to kill things
you still have to queue for stuff no matter what
the amount of stuff you have to kill is comparatively little overall
compared to the queue times
a tank will still do half of a DPS damage just fine
hmmm
yeah regarding kill speed, there are too many factors
if you can't sustain as a dps, you'll most likely to die as well
but I would recommend using DPS to do your MSQ since it gives so much EXP and you can skip queue
in fact level both your DPS and Tank at the same time
so you can skip queue for dungeon duties as your tank
and still gain decent EXP for your DPS from MSQ eEXP
where to buy venture in grand company?
Really weird question:
Normally when people run 4 man casual stuff as AST, they run Diur AST.
But in casual 4 man dungeons, is there that much difference in performance between Diur and Noct?
i once read it that diurnal regen effect is better than noct shield
its more mp efficient thingy
I was thinking... Diur gives you GCD regen, and gives CO more regen potency
yeah I'm no expert, but people mention diur is better for casual stuff
But Noct gives you CU 10% mit for 20s every 60s, and CI gets more regen potency
So...
tbh I think it don't matter in 99% of the case
ast shield is quite weak, i mean i use ast and i rarely use noct
only when there is WHM in trials or raid then i will use it
Like, the difference in DPS output is like... 5%? 10%?
Yeah
I was calculating, Diur Abene is 1200 Potency, Noct Abene is 700 Potency
it works like wonders! in a party, whether 4 man, 8, 24.. our own character is always #1 right? and second tank is always #2?
It's the private tier in the shop
Diur Aheli is 700 Potency, and Noct Aheli is 450 Potency
So... yeah, it's still quite a big loss
I never understood why bother going nocturnal at all unless there's another AST
I guess if you can avoid using GCD heals all together Noct AST can be worth it...?
because the diurnal HOTs stack with WHM
@frozen thistle yes, by default
and you lose a lot of potency going noct instead of diurnal
as long as you have the default player order list, yes
what quest should i finish to unlock Ehll Tou Custome diliverys
tbh I'm just trying to figure out, is it objectively wrong to play Noct AST in a 4 man dungeon?
how do I get money... I only have 500 gil... i'm, struggling.... 😭
How do I get the cavalry drake mount? Do I have to do the mark bill objectives?
which 4 man dungoen?
it seems like Post ARR gives very little exp, do I just need to do the first quest of Heavensward to do level 50+ job quests?
when it's sync'd to lv 50 or?
when i get dark knight im never switching my job lol
pretty sure everyone said that at some point
what can I do with quest item like level 45 job gear, I know you can buy them back from calamity salvager but is discarding the only way to get rid of it besides turning into glamour?
Who do I talk to in order to do beast tribe quests?
can't desynt :(
yeah thats what i said
discard
can't desynth, sell or hand in for expert delivery
ohh aightt
is black mage a good class to clear msq fast?
probably, if you know how to play it
never played a caster before, im sure it'll be fine /s
What's a good beginner tank class?
yeah just play what you think is cool beside dark knight
so you don' cry everytime you don't play your DRK
Paladin.
Thanks, wait I don't see the paladin class. Sorry, I'm super new.
You start as gladiator and then at level 30, your job quest will be to switch to paladin
Oh ok nice thank you
DM me on discord if you need extra help. I'm a level 57 paladin myself
Sweet thanks.
What's is the difference in tanking of Paladin and Marauder?
I'm more into heavy defense style
Hey yall im like pretty new i started like two months ago but my subscription ran out, i didnt get high at all and only made it past the prologue story missions i think, i resubbed today and im really interested in getting into it but it seems very complex and im not sure if i know where to begin, when i played it was fun but i didnt understand much so can anyone give some tips or help?
basically see these tracker and click it
and the blue quests are important
follow the story and enjoy the game
paladin is more involved with rotation and some MP management but has the best ultimate defense move in game (and the longest cooldown on it because of that) Marauder/warrior is simple rotation and a more simple ultimate defense move, but one of the shortest cooldowns on it so it can be used more often in high level raids. it also has high sustainability on its own after level 76
once i learn ruin 2 si there any point in keeping ruin 1 slottedon the hotbar?
yeah ruin 2 is when you need to weave your ogcd skills
yes ruin 1 turns into ruin 3, is cheaper mp and deals more damage
so we end up using ruin 2 and 3?
ruin 3 appear much later on
wait until you hear about RUIN 4
Does Moonfire start in 2 hours?
the msq will help you understand the gamr greatly? Also don't be afraid to ask questions in general chat (in game). The community is super nice @patent citrus
Thanks! I'm going with the paladin route.
assuming you are playing Summoner, not scholar
yeah you'll get ruin 3 to replace the ruin 1 later at lv 50ish
cause you need to weave your ogcd and you mismanage your usage of egi assault
you need the instant cast skill with recast to weave your energy drain, lucid dreaming etc
ruin 3 has higher damage
both has the same cast time
ruin 2 is instant cast
that's why i was confused
but i'm probably jumping the gun anyway
but both has the same recast time
waht's ogcd?
off gcd
oh right
when you cast Ruin2, you can combine it with ogcd skills like lucid dreaming and energy drain
when you cast ruin3, you can't
you weave it
ah makes sense
but ruin3 has more damage
so you basically doing both of them
aka you can use up to 2 oGCDs after an instant GCD like ruin 2
am i correct in thinking that if i want to craft everything i pretty much have to pay for extra retainers? the inventory space demands seem pretty obscene for even one job
hence weaving
so when you need to use instant cast skill like lucid dreaming and energy drain, you use egi assault or ruin2(if you ran out of your egi assault)
you don't really have to if you manage inventory and dont hold onto random crap XD
ah right that amkes sense
and when you don't need to use them, you use ruin1/3
