[patent citrus]

until you are ready

[barren granite]

EQ was 100 per year back in 1999, so this is much better game w/ tons more content, and not much more then that was

[merry knot]

Will I ever feel powerful in dungeons in the future (Currently level 35), or do all dungeon monsters across the game are simply a meat shield

[pseudo vapor]

but how long can i stay in free trial

[ocean herald]

hello guys want to ask, which weapon is better for samurai, the relic i535 for samurai or my e12s weawpon?

[hard aurora]

@ocean herald relic

[leaden ginkgo]

PogO

[hard aurora]

@pseudo vapor forever

[sleek needle]

Forever

[hard aurora]

literally

[pseudo vapor]

oh

[sleek needle]

You'd just run out of content to do

[hard aurora]

which would take

some tome honesyly

[sleek needle]

Yea

[pseudo vapor]

can i play with my friends if we both use the free trial?

[hard aurora]

like actually a lot of time

[sleek needle]

If you're going to do everything that's gonna

[merry knot]

I don't get it

[sleek needle]

Take a looong time

[oak talon]

is it too late to start grinding 200k MGP for regalia mount?

i never tried gold saucer at all

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s never too late to grind gold saucer. It will just take longer.

[barren granite]

is best to start free trial to get a feel for it to see if you want to convert over.

[hard aurora]

@barren granite 100%

[sleek needle]

Not too late at all

[hard aurora]

take your time, do whatever, enjoy or not

[sleek needle]

If you do fashion report every week you'll be fine before the event

[leaden ginkgo]

If you and your team have good gear and are doing good dps then you will kill enemies faster, but if you expect to one shot enemies on dungeons or trials by yourself this isnt the game for that

Wait

Wrong reply lol

[hard aurora]

lul

[leaden ginkgo]

[nocturne wyvern]

As long as you want.

[hard aurora]

ill give an experience -

[nocturne wyvern]

There’s no time limit.

[split dust]

What this does and how to unlock it?

[hard aurora]

black mage at like, level 30 feels kinda weak

at 80, in shb content, it feels powerful

like most other classes

[pseudo vapor]

can i play with my friends if we both use the free trial?

[nocturne wyvern]

Blm doesn’t get good, in my opinion, until fire starter at 44.

[hard aurora]

will you steamroll content? no, but you will have a plethora of tools to use and an experienced party

[barren granite]

yes but cant group,

[hard aurora]

@nocturne wyvern agree, the firestarter proc is a really nice touch

[sleek needle]

You won't be able to party each other so will be random chance if you end up in same dungeon

[oak talon]

only fashion report? do i need to do another mini game as well?

[barren granite]

i think can have another create group and add you guys, pass ownership and leave.

[pseudo vapor]

do you mean me?

[barren granite]

if you mean me, yes

[pseudo vapor]

ok

xd

[sleek needle]

You can if you want to but fashion report is easiest way get mgp AFAIK 80+ points give 60k+

[fast talon]

quick question about eureka, does the job i use within have to be the one i want to get gear for? like the relic weapon/armor?

[sleek needle]

Like 4 weeks til ffxv event iirc? So that's 240k

[nocturne wyvern]

The job levels are separate in eureka I think.

[fast talon]

but like can i rank up my warrior relic even though im using dragoon or vice versa

or can i get that cool glowy armor for tanks even while playing as a dps

[oak talon]

80+ point is RNG or there's guide to get that amount of point everytime?

[patent citrus]

yeah you can

oh wait

Eureka

[sleek needle]

Type !fr in #kupo-bot-spam

[patent citrus]

nvm what Isa di

[split dust]

how do i get that stuff in FR?

[sleek needle]

It'll show you the guide and suggestions for easy 80/100 points

[split dust]

mb?

[sleek needle]

Depends which stuff, the sharlayan boots are from library dungeon

Forgot the name atm

Some stuff can be bought from npc, some market board/grind

[zenith salmon]

What does the 'Gear Strength +13' mean?

[nocturne wyvern]

I think that’s the minimum required to get in.

[oak ice]

Gear strength is just a number that balances out palace of the dead

You can go up to 99 and it syncs down in lower floors

It will be very tough to progress later floors with low gear strength

[ocean chasm]

Is this palace progress?

[oak ice]

It's the gear you get inside, since you don't have your regular

[zenith salmon]

Oops mb for not being specific, I'm confused about what this signifies since my actual gear is +21/21

[bleak sapphire]

hello there ! Are beast tribes worth doing besides the mounts?

[verbal rune]

In shb ||pixies|| give good exp

[shut panther]

There's some emotes

[ocean chasm]

Can u install discord on console? Otherwise, push to talk feature is out of the way, so whats left is discord on a phone with open mic playing game muted?

[shut panther]

And post arr tribes give decent exp

Discord is coming to ps next year

[ocean chasm]

Or raids dont need communication assuming all pros

[shut panther]

You don't really need comms

[ocean chasm]

Chatting is a pain on console lol

By the time u wanna type something raid is over

Everyone leaving

[verbal rune]

You don't need one, but tbf it helps a lot

[ocean chasm]

:D

So discord coming to consoles huh next year...intresting, took a minute for them to implement that

[left whale]

sounds like yall need chat macros or smthn

[ocean chasm]

Nah its all pc and bias consoles

[woeful breach]

After i choose a class can i change it later?

[ocean chasm]

Ya

U can have all classes on one char

[woeful breach]

does it just start from 0 again

[ocean chasm]

Ummm to lvl 1 i think

[sleek needle]

The starting ones do

[crimson crystal]

Nope, you can get to lvl 80 on everything with one character

[woeful breach]

oh really sick

no need for like 5 chars anymore huh 😆

[verbal rune]

Hw ones start at 30, sb one at 50 and shb ones at 60

[ocean chasm]

Wait if i get my ninja to 60 and wanna try dancer - u continue off from 60 or go to lvl 1m

?

[sleek needle]

Endwalker ones will start at 70

[hot eagle]

dnc starts at 60

[ocean chasm]

Oh good so i can use same gear lol

[sleek needle]

Ninja uses aiming gear?

[crimson crystal]

No

[verbal rune]

It uses aiming accessory

[ocean chasm]

Just rogue, ranged stats

[verbal rune]

But ninja has his own gears

[ocean chasm]

Unless ARR ninja gear is basic enough to suplement other non str users

It branches out into more specifics later on in xpacks?

[verbal rune]

At lvl 50

[split dust]

The easy 80 fr points is a Sharlayan xxxx boots, where do i find how to get it? Wiki?

[wintry trellis]

can you get TT cards from doing undersized parties in extremes?

[verbal rune]

You get jobs specific gears

[dawn gazelle]

Ok

[verbal rune]

Tank share their own gears, so do healers, ranged physical, ranged magic

[dawn gazelle]

I think seraph is bad

[sleek needle]

HW dungeon, library one

[dawn gazelle]

On sch

[shut panther]

Through most of arr gear is shared across melee and range dps

[dawn gazelle]

It takes too long to activate

[shut panther]

Not after that

[split dust]

Damn, just started HW

Didnt unlocked that yet

[dawn gazelle]

And idom does the job easier

[ocean chasm]

Is there a set bonus system on items?

[dawn gazelle]

Why am I wrong

[shut panther]

Not really

[sleek needle]

Ah, I'd try grabbing some other pieces then and dying stuff

[split dust]

how that works? sorry

[ocean chasm]

Is dancer any different from ninja? Seems as ninja u mostly just watch hotbars lol, cant see ur surrounding on what bosses do lol....mostly its tunnel vision on hotbar

[shut panther]

There's very rare items with set bonuses

[wintry trellis]

memorize ur keybind and hand placement. Youre gonna need that regardless of class

[sleek needle]

If you check headgears and armor and see if there's anything there you can grab, and then dye the pieces according to the 100 points one

[ocean chasm]

I see so its across all jobs

[shut panther]

Dancer needs to look at hotbar the most due to procs honestly

[sleek needle]

Can't get headgear ones so don't mind those

[wintry trellis]

Most classes require this, I would say tanks dont but its not the case. If thats an issue move ur hotbar up to mid screen and lower the size

[sleek needle]

So try getting one of the armors if you can, and dye all your pieces

[ocean chasm]

Thats why seems controller to be more muscle memory friendly then keyboard lol

[left whale]

peripheral vision goes a long way if u ask me ;v

[wintry trellis]

^

[split dust]

So just get an armor and dye it?

[wintry trellis]

You could also opt important CDs to be displayed midscreen and have ones that aren't entirely relevant aside or at bottom

[warped nest]

You can use a hotbar to make a dashboard hotbar to keep track of your procs and key cooldown, and park it next to your character

[sleek needle]

And dye your weapon, hands etc

[warped nest]

This way you don't need to look at your crosshotbar or normal hotbar

[split dust]

with those dyes, right?

[left whale]

see, ive actually tried placing important CDs mid screen
and wat has happened was.. now i have TWO places to look at
when instead i could just have everything at the bottom, and just look at the bottom, so one place ;l

[sleek needle]

Yea

[ocean chasm]

Where u get catalysts to xmog gear? I was able to do it till i ran out of that material lol

[split dust]

oh god...

[left whale]

just buy a stack of 99 from the marketboard, should cost you a nickel
they're called glamor prisms

glamour? idk

[fast talon]

how helpful is the kirin gear for eureka? cuz the stuff i need to trade in for that is expensive

[sleek needle]

Uff, any other cheaper ones? Can also check other worlds in your dc

[ocean chasm]

Oh those white triangle looking icon thingies

[left whale]

yup

[split dust]

the other MB one is 400k

lol

[patent citrus]

If you have Strife Vest

[sleek needle]

🥲

[patent citrus]

from veteran reward

[patent citrus]

you can use that instead of shalrayan boots

and just use the dyes

[split dust]

been playing for 10 days now

[patent citrus]

same score, lv 80

[split dust]

i dont have that

[patent citrus]

yeah you can turn in without having to reach lv 80

better than nothing

[split dust]

Those are dlc areas?

[patent citrus]

yeah

sb

[split dust]

damn

[sleek needle]

How much do you get with <80 score?

[split dust]

im about to find out

[patent citrus]

i forgot, but better than 400k for 80

20k? maybe

[umbral dune]

if you dont even try, guarantee 10k MPG for just joining

[sleek needle]

Yea still better than nothing

[split dust]

Well, i could just rush through HW and get the dg

but i mean

5 levels

oof

[patent citrus]

not worth it

there's fr next week

[sleek needle]

Ye story is more worth it than mgp for sure

[split dust]

is FR weekly?

[sleek needle]

Yea

Fri-tues

[split dust]

wish i was bald man rn and someone traded me the whole set

[sleek needle]

[patent citrus]

those items you want aren't tradable

oh wait nvm

the adventurer vest is

[split dust]

the 400k and 160k one

yep

[broken python]

Hey guys, I'm in dire need for help with purchasing the game. I even wrote to NA Support about it. The thing is, I am european, but I created my square account about a decade ago when I was still underage, and I only started playing on the same account (big mistake) a few months ago, now I want to buy Complete Edition while it's still on sale on the NA store but square refuses literally every card I throw at it during checkout, as well as they refuse to even let me login to my paypal. Is there any workarounds to this or will I have to resort to some NA-based friend to purchase things for me? I tried using different browsers and mobile data but nothing helps.

[broken python]

We would advise purchasing the game/expansions from our NA store site in order to continue playing the game on this account. We hope this help clears up any confusion.
this is straight from the support email I received yesterday by the way.

[split dust]

Also, imma need to understand how to make gil. The farm methods will only be profitable at ShB?

[sand spear]

Can you make another account?

[broken python]

I'd rather not, I already invested over 5 days of gametime in the current one 😅

[sand spear]

So it wont let you buy from the NA because your account is a EU account?

[uncut nova]

so I cant do 2 sb relic quests at once but can have more than the required amount of quest items i need? interesting oO

[broken python]

no, my account is NA, but I am europe based and I play on the Light servers, but trying to check out in the NA Square store my mastercard/paypal get instantly refused

[tacit glacier]

i'm not sure i understand how leveling in PotD works, as doing 10 floors sometimes take a long time, am i supposed to do floor 1-10 over and over? or go as deep as i can?

[split dust]

51-60 if im not wrong

[solid cipher]

if my account region says 'Europe and Other Regions' do i buy the game from the square enix eu store?

[sleek needle]

1-10 or 50-60 is for lvling iirc

[patent citrus]

use this to login to SE store

[left moth]

If you need aetherpool maybe but the general idea is get to floor 50 first then spam 51-60

[patent citrus]

it will auto sync store region to your mogstation account

[tacit glacier]

ah alright thank you :D

[split dust]

what is that attempts?

[solid cipher]

thanks

[sacred oracle]

i didnt change anything if i cancel will my fantasia gone to vain?

[umbral dune]

@split dust try and error

[left moth]

4 tries to nail fashion report if doing it blind

[hard aurora]

@sacred oracle itll still be there

[split dust]

got it

[hard aurora]

your fantasia will only be consumed once you confirm its use in the log in screen

otherwise itll continue to prompt everytime

[solid cipher]

whats the difference between buying from the se store and upgrading through mogstation?

[sacred oracle]

ok thank you

[split dust]

well, 68, not so bad

[umbral dune]

well 68 is the default

you cant go below

[split dust]

shit

then it is bad

[hard aurora]

unfashionable

[sleek needle]

😂

How much mgp did you get?

[left moth]

Not much both are for standalone service account (not steam)

[solid cipher]

if i buy from the se store will i get a code, or will it automatically upgrade

[sleek needle]

Ah well

[left moth]

No have to "redeem" it then apply it on mogstation

[solid cipher]

thanks

[left moth]

Will get an email with the redemption process

[frigid brook]

Hey, how do you get the road to 70 bonus ?

[broken python]

I am genuinely considering buying the NA complete edition CDKEY of some reseller sites because it's that bad

[shut panther]

start a character on preferred server

[sleek needle]

It's only frlm creating a character on a preferred world

[shut panther]

Which barely exist anymore

[sleek needle]

Which only exists in jp atm

[frigid brook]

I'm on the primal Lamia. I see a few ppl with the road to 70buff but I didn't get it 🤔

[sleek needle]

It lasts for 90 days

[shut panther]

It lasts 90 days if you made when preferred

[frigid brook]

Ah damn

[shut panther]

Lamia was

[hot eagle]

also you dont rly need the buff, leveling is easy enough

[umbral dune]

@frigid brook you can visit other world which is why you see those have that buff

[sleek needle]

I just like it cause imma lvl crafter/gatherers to 70 before mine ends

Apart from that I've just been way over leveled, which gives you no benefit

[stone charm]

Hey guys, question, where do I get my job quests past level 30? Conjurer's guild doesn't give me anything anymore

[umbral dune]

i so bore with dungeons that i use my DRK do all the side quests from level 47 to 54 and he reach 59, it is strong but not necessary

[broken python]

hey, question, if I click this on my email can I just copypaste the code somewhere until I want to redeem it or how does it work

[potent lava]

Can you not invite people to party if youre signed up to party finder

[broken python]

I am still not even done with post-ARR MSQ lmao

[potent lava]

They have to join from Pf only?

[sleek needle]

You need to do msq 'Sylph management' first

[rancid cradle]

I really love crafting and gathering in this game i am wondering is it possible to manage with just 2 retainers?

[left moth]

If you're willing to start fresh account wise play asia has eu complete edition for 26 usd

[broken python]

no no i already ordered lmao

[stone charm]

and.. where is that? I'm level 43 now.

[left moth]

Yes you can copy paste the code into mogstation. Edit: code should be good for a year or so

[umbral dune]

@stone charm have you join grand company?

[stone charm]

Yes, the Immortal Flames I believe

[hot eagle]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my 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.

[umbral dune]

@stone charm than do 3-4 more MSQ and the quest will pop up

[sacred oracle]

can we stop this from popping for a bit because i dont wish to yet?

[umbral dune]

Grand company is not Free Company, the latter is guild

[nocturne wyvern]

@stone charm What msq quest are you on?

[stone charm]

Oh I already have the job, I'm a white mage. I'm asking how do I get the next abilities, like for example, Regen is given at 35 and I'm 43 so I suppose I need to do the quest that is given every 5 levels right? That's what I can't find

[nocturne wyvern]

Ah.

[stone charm]

''In Pursuit of the Past''

[nocturne wyvern]

The whm quests are in the zone where quarry mill is.

East shroud I think.

[primal gull]

If you look at your MSQ tracker it should show the job quests below it

[nocturne wyvern]

Or is that central? I always forget.

[primal gull]

Which you can then click on

To see where to go

[umbral dune]

if you cant remember the location, click on the quest right under MSQ reminder, it will show you the location

[hot eagle]

whm job quests shoud be near camp tranquil (X:16.8, Y:28.6) in south shroud

[stone charm]

I'm trying to read all, thank you all guys xD

[wheat pulsar]

What level should I be to use the vendor that sells Blue gear? Can't remember how specific, but I read somewhere that I should make sure to check it out when I hit 30 or 50 etc.

[primal gull]

50

[wheat pulsar]

ah ok

[primal gull]

For poetics gear

[wheat pulsar]

Are there any big unlocks for hitting 30? Just finished becoming a Ninja, and I'm curious now if there's much more

Currently going back around for Golden Saucer lmao

[umbral dune]

if you stick with base game class, level 45 job quest give you 4 piece, the chest is level 50

[primal gull]

For gear, not really. The big unlock at 30 is jobs

[wheat pulsar]

Nice

[primal gull]

Which is sounds like you got already

Just make sure to keep up with those job quests, every 5 levels until 50 and then every 2-3 after that! They unlock powerful skills

[wheat pulsar]

Yeah...That was a huge pain last night

I hadn't realised the Rogue missions don't show up unless you're in the hideout..had to do level 10-15 all the way to NIN lmao

[prisma glacier]

hello! I've just hit 80 for the first time. I've got 4 million gil on me, and was wondering if it's worth buying the exarchic gear off the market board. It'd add up to a little over a million, and I'm not sure if I should just go slowly grind the gear or buy it rn. I'm not even close to done with the shadowbringers msq, so I'm assuming I can't unlock a gear vendor or anything for a while, just like with HW and SB

[shut panther]

The job quest at 45 will give you four pieces of gear that will be massive upgrades for you

The 50 one will then immediately replace those xd

There's absolutely no good reason to buy exarchic before finishing 80 msq

[prisma glacier]

I am 80.

[proud willow]

Nah, no real reason to do so. You won't need that ilvl while you're still working on the pre-80 content

[shut panther]

Yeah sorry I phrased that poorly

[feral nebula]

Is there any good faq/guide on how to augment poetics gear?

[proud willow]

it's sold already augmented now

[hot eagle]

cant buy not augmented stuff anymore

[feral nebula]

ah

sry was a dumb question

[shut panther]

If you happen to have old non augmented stuff

I think you can still augment it with... The calamity salvager?

[hot eagle]

no worries they changed it to make it easier for new ppl so its less of a pain

[modern sorrel]

Hello I've got a question regarding macros and crafting

[hollow turtle]

can i start another resistance weapon without reseting the quest progress on the one i already have?

[shut panther]

Yes, you can do all the quests in parallel

[hollow turtle]

aight thanks

[modern sorrel]

If you're on PC and you want to set up a function that automatically clicks syntehsise and starts a macro in a set interval is that against TOS?

[left whale]

probably

[shut panther]

That's considered Botting

[umbral dune]

you can exchange pre-augment to augment version, with 100 poetics per piece

[shut panther]

Synthesis isn't macroable for a reason

[modern sorrel]

I see so using 3rd party macros is off the table like clicking and button mapping a macro to automate

I suppose the game checks if this is happening in real time too to catch botting then

[shut panther]

Probably not, actually.

More likely than not, you'd get away with it

But it's certainly a bannable offense

[modern sorrel]

Okay thanks for the help I won't use this method but It sure would save hours of time

[left whale]

would it tho..?

[shut panther]

Square's actual anti cheat/bot protection is essentially non existent

[modern sorrel]

Yeah when you have a macro that goes on for over a minute

you have to sit there and click synthesise again and use the macro

sometimes that gets real boring

[left whale]

just watch netflix

[modern sorrel]

I'd have to tab out every minute though lmao

[feral nebula]

Also is there like a place where i can see what materia i can put in that gear, without actually having the materia?

[left whale]

look at this dood, single monitor and all

[shut panther]

Only having one monitor

[modern sorrel]

Oh shit alright I'm gettin' dabbed on I see how it is

Peace out folks it was a pleasure

[left whale]

a 2nd monitor is a crafter's essential

[shut panther]

If you right click the gear and hit meld it'll show you

[hot eagle]

then dont use fullscreen while crafting XD

[shut panther]

Tbh I only have one monitor but I've got a tablet

[left whale]

so like a 2nd monitor but expensiver

[shut panther]

You just have to keep in mind there's item level requirements for materia as well

[feral nebula]

ye that im aware

[tall night]

i found a lot of conflicting information about tank swaping in raids... mainly how you execute it (taunt/shirk/aura toggle) can anyone explain the steps both tank take to swap back and forth?

[feral nebula]

just im not so sure, cause seems like theres a limit to stats that a gear can give

[umbral dune]

@feral nebula every materia has a level base, only gear with higher or equal ilvl can be melded into, however, you would still need to check the gear stats cap which having max level DoH to preview all the gear caps

[shut panther]

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/Be6dQaZ.png

[shut panther]

At the bottom of the melding window

"available materia enhancements"

Shows you the maximums

[left whale]

i mean, it kinda depends on why the tanks are swapping
or whether or not the tanks want to immediately swap back or whether they're able to swap back
;l

anyways, the process of tank swapping is simple, ya shirk when u want the other guy to tank
you provoke when u wanna tank

the the thing that drives the swaps to happen tend to be sorta different

[feral nebula]

ah, ty

[shut panther]

a) tank 2 hits provoke b) tank 1 shirks tank 2

[left whale]

turning off tank stance usually only really has to happen if the OT is doing too much flipping damage or the MT is bad
^^^

[tall night]

both tanks keep the aura on at all times?

[left moth]

Tank shirking to shed aggro should also drop tank stance unless need to swap back in a short time

[tall night]

shirk has 120s cd tho is is taunt enough to keep agro without the other tank doing anything?

[umbral dune]

off tank could turn it on but at least 30 seconds after the fight start

[left whale]

you dont really have to shirk that often

[tall night]

or are there not realy any fights where you would need to swap more than once a minute?

[umbral dune]

there are a lot

[left moth]

Provoke has a small (temporarily) aggro generation enhancer to it so its a matter of rolling the gcd

[split dust]

What is the purpose of crafting jobs? Are they fun?

[left whale]

they arent very fun if u ask me, but theres a few craft related stories thati find great

they also make gear.. cook food... make potions (the good kind).. uuh make money?

[split dust]

hmm

[zenith salmon]

People say to grind 51-60 but how can you keep reattempting those floors? My brain is tiny

[left whale]

delete your save data and start a new one starting at 51-60

[zenith salmon]

OH GOTCHA

Thanks!

[brave vine]

What do trial accounts use gil on? I think someone wrote that post lvl 50 dungeons I was never gonna have useless gil again

[tall night]

ok so to recap:
-> i can leave aura on
-> if i want agro i just taunt
-> and if the other tank wants agro i shirk (if its up)

[stiff fiber]

wat barding is this?

[left moth]

Alex 5 has swap at concuss, seiryu ex has forced swap because of debuff (unless hallowed ground it). Basically any fight that adds a debuff to tankbuster designed to ramp up the next attack significantly

[umbral dune]

@split dust crafting requires a lot of material that either gatherable or craftable from other DoH, which unless you level all at the same time, gonna be very frustrating

[left moth]

Suzaku

[cursive ridge]

do grand company supply missions go beyond level 50 materials?

[split dust]

gotcha

[left whale]

omnicrafting is something i cant help but contest but maybe...not here

[proud willow]

they do, they go all the way up to 80

Each turn-in that they ask for matches your current level in that class

[cursive ridge]

interesting, considering the rewards on the grand company vendor end at level 50. unless there are grand company representatives in expansion cities?

[proud willow]

Nope... it's kind of an abandoned system. you can keep acquiring seals, but you'll only be using them to buy ventures or marketable items

[umbral dune]

@left whale i do not mean to say everyone should do that but it is very frustrating to see every 5 receipt, you need to buy material from the market or level other DoH just to craft it, which the job quest guarantee to do so and it ruins the experience

[cursive ridge]

oh okay thanks

[proud willow]

The turn-ins continue to be a great source of XP too

[cursive ridge]

turning in all of them at once feels so nice

every profession gets like 3 levels at once

at levels ~30 anyway

[umbral dune]

high quality give double exp so if you can craft HQ, do it or buy

[cursive ridge]

yeah i noticed that

[split dust]

there is any channel here for random dgs?

[tulip zinc]

what's the point of bozjan gold coin armour?

Can't even augment it to 520

[left moth]

Can dump them for better coins in stacks of 100 i want to say

Which isnt saying much since zadnor coins are more useful

Unless you want the hair

[tulip zinc]

i can buy the hair with coins?

[left moth]

(i might be thinking of other bozja coins)

Yes gold and platnium

[tulip zinc]

which vendor?

[left moth]

Its on the bottom of the 525 armor list in zadnor

[tulip zinc]

there's 525 gear?

[left moth]

Yes also in zadnor. Npc is near the exit next to some containers

[gritty oracle]

How much data does XIV consume on average per hour of gameplay, if I'm mostly doing overworld content?

[left moth]

Maybe 10 mb unless you get sucked into a hunt train or an s rank

[turbid marsh]

I gotta ask how people do big pulls as a tank, like walking into an at level dungeon trying to take on even just three enemies and I have to use some of my mitigation, not to mention how fast I get dropped even with mitigation on, like am I missing something or am I supposed to die this fast despite being a tank. Especially when this wasn't the case on earlier dungeons I'd done before level 50, like I expected it to get harder but it just seems impossible

[umbral dune]

use mitigation, that for sure

[warm snow]

Only armor from Zadnor and weapons from diamond extreme

Just FYI the diamond ex weapons all have pretty bad sub stats

[left moth]

I rotate mitigation (so theres one available when another one ends), liberally use short cd for busters, and always arms legnth when possible to slow down physically attacking trash

[umbral dune]

when you pull, especially several packs, you have to use mitigation already, and you have to check whether healer is in close proximity or not to burst heal when needed

[tulip zinc]

i'm currently on 6th step for the relic i'll skip the weapons but i need something better than 520 for my armour and i don't wanna run the nier raids 30 times or whatever

[obsidian patio]

What? Last I checked they were mostly crit/det or crit/DH besides the healer ones being crit/piety

[warm snow]

I was admittedly going off the healer ones

[obsidian patio]

[patent citrus]

before lv 51, usually 1-2 groups at a time since many traps and deadly mechanics

and all jobs don't have their aoe and full mitigation yet

[gritty oracle]

At what level can I start to solo lv50 dungeons?

[patent citrus]

above lv 51 depending on the dungeon, 2-3 groups

[obsidian patio]

70 for most of them

Maybe 60 for the earlier ones if you play more carefully

[patent citrus]

this if you are not following weskalber guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StnOnwZEahE

[obsidian patio]

And not try to do big pulls

[umbral dune]

60 for the challenge, especially ARR extreme

[leaden ginkgo]

ok so how do i use nastrond skill on drg when it cant be added to hotbar?

[shut panther]

Geirskogul becomes it

[leaden ginkgo]

o i see

thanks

[shut panther]

During life of the Dragon

[umbral dune]

anything that can not be assigned usually replace current skill

[leaden ginkgo]

the sudden change of description is a bit confusing for me

didnt even notice

[split dust]

my stats are too low for lvl 34? im melting as tank

[shut panther]

tbh the game could use a lot of cleanup on its skill tooltips

[shut panther]

does your gear say Disiciples of War or does it specify tank classes

because that is a very common new player mistake on tanks

I don't know number expectations off hand, but that'd be the first thing I'd check

[sleek needle]

Shouldn't you get a coffer with drk gear when you unlock it?

[shut panther]

only contains.. 4..? pieces

[sleek needle]

Ah

[shut panther]

admittedly the most important ones

[faint flare]

It has 2 pieces

For heavensward jobs

Chest and legs

And wep fc

[flint oak]

Hello, I've played Realm Reborn in 2014 for 2 months but never touched it again. AFAIK, anyone can play up to Heavensward for free now, and I can see that I have that expansion in my account, but do I need to add game time?

[shut panther]

I'm fairly certain whatever chest that is is a DPS chest, so I'm concerned about the other gear

[umbral dune]

@split dust before Haukke Manor(level 28 dungeon), tank is easy, not that much to worry, right at that point onward, you will need to be constant healed, it is common so dont worry

[shut panther]

yeah, you can't revert paid accounts to trial

[flint oak]

😢

[verbal rune]

You can make a new account

[split dust]

ty

[flint oak]

I had a lvl 50 but, tbh, I played with a toxic wow mentality back then, rushing through the story just to get to max lvl etc

[shut panther]

if your gear is on level you shouldn't need constant healing at any point

[flint oak]

I want to go over the story now at a slow pace

[split dust]

indeed, some are disciples of war

[shut panther]

yeah, you don't want gear like that on tank

it's easy to miss, but it has far inferior defense

should specify left side I mean

right side gear it doesn't matter, and I don't think there is tank specific until 50+

[split dust]

should i buy armor from vendors then?

[umbral dune]

@split dust and one more thing, you have to buy gear every 10 level to keep up with dungeon, you can stop at 50 to buy ironwork but i would wait to 60 and buy shire

[shut panther]

or just get it from your next few dungeons

[errant walrus]

hello i am new at this game (still at trial).... I would like to ask question about the server.
I can't really speak Japanese but for better ping i need to use Japanese data center
Which server should i join for best experience? (I made my first character in Alexander and kinda regret it after knowing there aren't lot English speaker there)
...Or it does not matter much?

[left moth]

Gc equipment might help if its available but honestly at lv35 the choices are going to be flavors of meh until can outgear the content (lv50 especially)

[flint oak]

can I fully delete an account to re-use the same email?

[patent citrus]

Kujata/Tonberry/Typhon are the best for EN speaker

[umbral dune]

@flint oak no

[patent citrus]

in Typhon there's a big Taiwanese FC

[flint oak]

😢

[umbral dune]

@flint oak 1 account per email

[left moth]

Theres some English servers in elemental (tonberry and kujata most famous) but making a character there might be annoying

[flint oak]

well, I don't want to have a 2nd one heh, I just want to remove my old one

xD

[split dust]

buy from npcs? or mb

[shut panther]

what I did was use my same email with an extra . , since gmail treats those as the same email but square doesn't

[flint oak]

that's some 5head lvl strats

[umbral dune]

@split dust go to Ishgard, the Exchange Venue, Armorer sells gear all the way to 60

[flint oak]

where does the extra . goes

[split dust]

okie omw

[shut panther]

you don't need to buy gear from the market at all if you're grinding via dungeons, you'll get enough from drops to keep up as long as you're needing any tank gear that drops on your level

and if you're doing msq you'll get items from that

[shut panther]

whereever you want, gmail ignores it and squareenix treats it as a different email

except I think it can't be [e-mail]

but [e-mail] would be fine

[errant walrus]

Thank you, sadly they are all currently full

[flint oak]

that is so weird how would that be the same email for gmail lol

[patent citrus]

wait till offpeak time

[flint oak]

[e-mail] vs [e-mail]

[shut panther]

https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7436150?hl=en#:~:text=If someone accidentally adds dots,john.smith%40gmail.com

[flint oak]

TIL

[umbral dune]

really, how am i not knowing that email thing

[flint oak]

I'm kinda astonished lol

but hey, that's great

[split dust]

Okay, could change only the armor

[patent citrus]

wait till 2:00 - 8:00 JST

and then try to create a character there

[patent citrus]

shouldn't buy from NPC since gray gear quality is far below green

[faint flare]

Gear colour doesn't mean anything

It's high quality vs normal quality

Infantry shirt is a dps jobs armour

[split dust]

ye

thats why i bought the npc one

[faint flare]

Under 50 npc gear is just barely fine

[patent citrus]

hmm so is the NPC gear is stronger? Infantry shirt is from brayford longfox

shouldn't have a problem, not sure why the need to buy NPC armor

[shut panther]

it's not that npc gear is stronger

one is a tank piece

one is a dps piece

[errant walrus]

Thank you, i will try it later on

[patent citrus]

but what's the difference, -21 defense barely gives 1% reduction

[faint flare]

At low level it's more impactful

The stat tiering changes at each level

[patent citrus]

yeah, even at lv <50 it's very low I think

[faint flare]

It's not

[vital ruin]

is the <mo> on dragon sight macro for people that use mouse?

[shut panther]

yes, it's mouseover target

[shrewd cradle]

did they take down the free trial from steam??

[faint flare]

No

[vital ruin]

people with only BiS care about parse right?

[faint flare]

It's listed as demo

[uneven brook]

why am i only getting 4k xp from msq's

[shrewd cradle]

ohh woops

thanks

[faint flare]

So you don't overlevel in the post arr quests

[vital ruin]

cos I don't think full aug crypt can compete with BiS

[faint flare]

As heavensward starts at 50

[uneven brook]

whats post arr

when do i gett heavensward?

[faint flare]

Thr quests before heavensward but after arr Base story

[uneven brook]

ive been doing these 4k xp quests for an entire day

[faint flare]

There's 80 quests in total in post arr

After Ultimate weapon

It's all the story that came out while people waited for heavensward to release

[uneven brook]

ahh

how do i check where i am in the 80 quests that i need to do to get hw

[faint flare]

Can just Google the list of story quests for post arr

[little swift]

Not really, you can parse adequately without being bis. Full Aug cryptlurker has the same main stat capping as bis with only the substat variation. It can perform fine though your substat spread might fuck gcd timing

[errant walrus]

btw is it not possible to use the same character name twice right....?

even in another server

[faint flare]

You can

Names are server locked

[errant sentinel]

Guys need help , doing the MSQ in stormblood .. a dungeon requires ilvl 240 gear but I have 239 ilvl story gear ... what did i miss?

What do I do?

[faint flare]

Your job quests give i290

At 70

[shut panther]

your job quests, the answer is always your job quests

[vocal osprey]

Is lvl 17 after 18 hours good?

[errant sentinel]

job quest is locked at lvl 70

[uneven brook]

oh my god im not even close to hw

[faint flare]

Also you should have full i270 gear

With shire

[uneven brook]

whats shire?

[faint flare]

Lv60 poetic gear

Available in idyllshire

[errant sentinel]

I am doing a lvl 61 quest :/

[uneven brook]

ooooo okay

[faint flare]

Go buy shire

[vocal osprey]

Spent about 18 hours playing and I'm lvl 17 is that a good start?

[faint flare]

It lasts you until 65

[stable burrow]

whats the best way to approach crafting in this game? everything i have read suggests just doing them all at once. seems really daunting

[faint flare]

It's the ironworks equiliant

[upper cove]

Question about role quests. I rmb seeing people mention theres an additional quest line after finishing all 4 role quests. Where can I pick that up? Still on 5.1 if its msq gated

[rustic spear]

it says ap arm and armor will be reduced by 10 if I want to make ap grip
does it only cost 10 now not 30?

[faint flare]

So go buy it in idyllshire or ishgard sundry splendor

[errant sentinel]

Sorry just confused ... wasnt the game supposed to give us gear till lvl 70?

[faint flare]

It does

You also ignored a massive gear upgrade

With poetics

[gritty oracle]

You need three grips for one weapon.

[rustic spear]

so i only need 90 arm and armor to make kinna?

[random spoke]

Hey guys what’s the exp boost your alt job revives while leveling ? 20%?

[errant sentinel]

your saying I missed some MSQ?

[rustic spear]

i thought each grip costed 30 lol

!faq armouryexp

[zinc orbit]

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[shut panther]

the guides say this for a reason, because there's cross-class material requirements

the best way would be to get them up to 15, which you can do individually, and see if you can be arsed

from there you can look into ishgard restoration guides

[faint flare]

You missed spending your poetics on gear

[random spoke]

Thanks! And …..since I’ve done MSQ on main and stuff I just grind out mobs?…

[faint flare]

Like you do at 50

you never grind out mobs unless blu, grind dungeons

thanks. ill try that. crafting in the game seems enjoyable enough. I'll get them all to 15 and see whats up.

[shut panther]

20+ is where the cross-class stuff can make the ui infuriating, but ishgard can avoid a lot of that

[vital ruin]

say I'm doing diaex and running DRG with full crypt and the other DRG is BiS I'll 100% lose to his dps right @little swift

[modest laurel]

Been playing tank for the first time in FF14 now and noticed I got several dmg reduction buffs(as dark knight), if I activate them all at the same time, do they stack or do only the strongest buff work? like one buff gives 30% while the other gives 20%. Do I get 50% dmg reduction or only 30%?

[umbral dune]

stacked

[patent citrus]

multiplicatively

[modest laurel]

ok good to know, thx for the help!

[patent citrus]

you would want to cycle it one by one

[slate wave]

Whats the difference between the individual and shared maco tabs?

[shut panther]

chances are the other dragoon is also going to be playing better, tb completely fair

[modest laurel]

ye I have done so until now, jsut wanted to know for an emergency

[vital ruin]

i just wanna know who will outdps

[slate wave]

Thank you

[sinful holly]

is there like a spreadsheet or something to see what leve pays out the most gil with fewest resources?

[vital ruin]

even if our skill level is the same

[patent citrus]

the one that plays better

[shut panther]

it's coffee biscuits or dwarven mythril files

[patent citrus]

the one that understands the fight better, the one with less mistakes

[shut panther]

if your skill level was somehow identical they'd do more damage because yes, their gear is better optmized

[vital ruin]

then why's everyone crazy about bis of it's not miles better than full crypt

i c

[shut panther]

because

number go up

[patent citrus]

but with echo it shouldn't matter...

you are still wearing full 530..

[vital ruin]

huh

wouldn't echo boosts his dps more than me

[shut panther]

it's absolutely going to matter, substats don't cease to exist because echo does

[little swift]

Bis has a better substat spread so it will perform better in a skill vacuum

[patent citrus]

oh right you are concerned about your parse..

[vital ruin]

what's a skill vaccum

[little swift]

But having bis doesn't mean they're a better player on that job

[patent citrus]

i didn't know the context

[shut panther]

all things skill wise equal he will deal more damage

[little swift]

Skill vacuum means that you're taking player skill out of the context

[shut panther]

but on top of that

[vital ruin]

ohh

[rugged thicket]

can i buy a subscription and then cancel it immediately after to have only 30 days?

[patent citrus]

yeah, you can

[rugged thicket]

cool

[shut panther]

99.99% of the time I'm going to assume the dude in full BiS gear is going to be mechanically better than someone in full augmented crypt

[vital ruin]

just turn off auto renew

hmm

[patent citrus]

yeah make sense cause he knows his stats better

[sinful holly]

ah i mean at lower levels

[patent citrus]

and having full BiS means you went through E12S

[vital ruin]

u get the weapon only from e12s?

[patent citrus]

BiS is relic

[shut panther]

edenmorn weapon is e12s

[vital ruin]

fml

[shut panther]

at this point the big indicator of BiS is a chestpiece

[patent citrus]

but armor is E12S I think?

[vital ruin]

e12s is hard

[round lotus]

to unlock wanderer minuet (lvl 52 skill) i need to be into heavensward right?

[little swift]

Most bis is eden chest

[shut panther]

because the augmented chests are universally badly statted

[fast talon]

is there a way to increase mount speed in eureka

yeah, and people who never done E9S before can have full augmented cryptlurker

chest is also only from e12s?

Ah well are poetics still ok gear?

for like lvl 50-60 if im on free trial for a while lol

It's the best gear at the level caps

It will lasts you 5 levels into the next expansion story

ironwork surely carry you up to 60

It's replaced at 55

If you're a dps you can barely get away with going to 60 with it

You shouldn't as tank or healer

interesting point. I'll check that out. thx!

[sturdy mango]

Hey, i want to know if dancer need more apm than bard ?

[strange knoll]

If my friend wants to come back but stopped at HW, does he need to buy anything to go through Stormblood?

[cursive ridge]

to go through stormblood you need to have purchased stormblood or expansion after it

[strange knoll]

Ok so he will need to buy Shadowbringers?

[cursive ridge]

right now yes

[strange knoll]

Alright thanks!

[cursive ridge]

in 3 months, endwalker

[left moth]

Dancer has some burst ogcd use but generally bard is more apm from song procs

[cursive ridge]

for anybody familiar with wow - does ffxiv have a system similar to heirloom gear from wow? scaling low level gear

[faint flare]

No

[round lotus]

will this reset erase 135 tomes i already have?

[faint flare]

Except preorder earrings

[faint flare]

No

[sturdy mango]

Okok ty

[umbral dune]

@round lotus no

[faint flare]

That's for revelation weekly cap reset

[crisp pelican]

It only will reset the cap for the lvl 80 tomestones you can only get 900 a week but the ones you earned stay

[round lotus]

good iwas paranoid lol

[umbral dune]

sometimes the tooltip is frustrating

[left moth]

Weekly tome cap is just a way to prevent from going from nothing to 2000. 900 a week is the cap itself

[umbral dune]

how long does it take to farm 900, 3-4 days?

[leaden ginkgo]

hey how the heck do I get cobalt ore ?

[left moth]

With a hunt train it'll feel like nothing bit with just roulettes 4-5 days sounds about right

[cursive ridge]

extra experience from crafting an item depends solely on its quality, right? (not counting rested armoury etc, the straight number)

[sleek needle]

Mine it

[left moth]

Cobalt ore is in northern thanalan

[sleek needle]

Or buy off MB (possibly some npc sells too)

[barren granite]

can i get more then 1 of the same extreme mount ? to give to another character ?

[faint flare]

No

They're not tradeable

[sleek needle]

You're better off googling it, it'll give you coordinates and if any npc sells

[barren granite]

ok but once i use the whistle, i can get the same whistle ?

[faint flare]

No

[left moth]

No

[faint flare]

The game knows you own it

[barren granite]

k

[sleek needle]

No reason to have more than 1

[barren granite]

k

[fresh viper]

No need to have alts

[inland pasture]

Do Squadron AI do things like avoid AOEs, grab plants in Aurum Vale ect?

[brave vine]

anyone? :p

[leaden ginkgo]

oh ok thanks

[faint flare]

They don't, cause mechanics don't target them

[umbral dune]

@inland pasture immune to boss stacks mechanic

[faint flare]

You need to micro them to avoid aoes

noob question- does doing fights with 'min ilvl' give you anything? or just the bragging rights

[faint flare]

Nipe

Literally nothing

[cursive ridge]

okie

[stray dawn]

entertainment for completing the challenge 😄

[leaden canopy]

I have a trail account now, and want to get the whole shabang. Can i buy the FINAL FANTASY® XIV Online Complete Edition - Collector's Edition and upgrade my current account?

[woeful breach]

If I create a new character will they also get the bonus earring from preorder? Or does it only go to existing chars

[celest snow]

thank you!

[faint flare]

Just complete is fine. Collectors is additional items

[woeful breach]

yes @leaden canopy i just did it

[faint flare]

all characters

[woeful breach]

bruh

op

[sand spear]

How different are the quest chains? (girania, Lima lominsa, andul'dah)

[faint flare]

You just meet a different scion

At the start

[willow sparrow]

where do I get the DRK Bale armour that can be dyed? I saw someone using it

[shrewd cradle]

friend opened free trial on steam and it asks for a key :O

[faint flare]

Just close and reopen it

[shrewd cradle]

thanks

[pallid bluff]

how do i tell if a character is botting?

i see this one guy in every single ephemeral node i go to and he just doesn't respond doesn't move just gathers and leaves

[outer bane]

withoout spoilers, how do i know when i've finished havensward and moving on to the next dlc? is it obvious or is the transition between dlc not noticable

[woven ibex]

so do all mounts fight with you or just the ?

[pallid bluff]

in an fc with a single person rank 0

[woven ibex]

chocobo

[left moth]

Gathering bots usually use static wayfinding points and busy status to avoid interaction with other people

[pallid bluff]

finish the Main Scenario Quest "The Far Edge of Fate"

[faint flare]

Same way as you knew when you hit heavensward

You get a GIANT ASS TITLE SCREEN

For the expansion

[outer bane]

i accidentally skipped ARR so idk xD

thank you 😄

[faint flare]

Also second credits

[outer bane]

oooo okay!

[pallid bluff]

so what do i do to respond to them?

[left moth]

Just the companion chocobo

thank you @faint flare

[woven ibex]

ok thanks @left moth

[outer bane]

does anyone know when the blue mage cap will be lifted?

[pallid bluff]

endwalker probably

[left moth]

Make an in game report and let special trash task force deal with it

[faint flare]

A post patch quest in endwalker at some point probably

[outer bane]

thank you both of you 🙂

[faint flare]

Maybe like 6.3 or something

[outer bane]

Fingers crossed 😄

[empty rose]

is there any use for Allagan Tomestone of Allegory if you have Exarch crafted gear?

I see there are some material you can buy with it too

[left moth]

At this point not really unless you sell crafting mats on mb

[faint flare]

Sell mats

[left moth]

Or need to augment said exarchic gear

I am looking at the Wiki page on Sidequests, and i noticed that it seems to be in order, but i've accepted in no order except whatever npc with a sidequests is near. Is the sidequests populated in a chronological order regardless of the NPC you visit?

[faint flare]

If it's a chain then it's in order

[grim cypress]

can someone tell me how to generally do battlefield leves? I jjust got "bump in the night" but it just says "report to central shroud

[faint flare]

Generally: dont

They're shit

[grim cypress]

and there is nothing in the quest circle

[faint flare]

But open the journal and initiate the leve

Once you arrived

That's how leves work

[pallid bluff]

if yellow side quests don't have a picture they're usually unimportant

[verbal mirage]

anyone have like a video or some text that teaches you how to pronounce everyones name? I really hate that i always fuck it up, thanks.

[grim cypress]

oh its manual

thanks

[pallid bluff]

msq usually has voiced cutscenes which show you how to pronounce them

[verbal mirage]

yeah but i always forget :(

[nocturne aurora]

am I gonna be overwhelm with skills when I change to samurai? since it starts are lvl 50

[verbal mirage]

@nocturne aurora theres this guy online who makes guides to settle players into any job his name is wesker and i think he has one on samurai

[quaint grove]

hallo i am trying to get the heavensward relics and on the wiki i read that you gotta find this dude Ardashir in Azys La. I can't find this many anywhere in Azys La im almost on top of the coordiantes given for him

[gilded bronze]

How can i make a free trial user visit my fc house in kugane?

[nocturne aurora]

any idea why my free company menu is locked? lvl 39 atm

[faint flare]

Because you're not in a free company

[umbral dune]

[runic socket]

well okay, that sounds pretty explainable 😄 but i read that there is some kind of in game search for free companies aswell?

[faint flare]

There isn't

Outside of reading shout chat recruitment messages

[runic socket]

aah okay

[faint flare]

And occasional party finders people use to recruit

perfect, thanks a lot

@spice cave go to Mor Dohna, x22,y5 meet Kakalan to get ilvl 90(all level 50 class sets)

Would I be able to transfer from Shiva (Light) to Odin?

[faint flare]

Full transfers are $18

You can world visit to it with minor limitations for free

[round parcel]

Ah, i thought it would be free to transfer to Odin, as it's a starting server

[faint flare]

No its not

[round parcel]

sadge

[faint flare]

Transfers are only free from CONGESTED to PREFERRED worlds

[umbral dune]

@sand spear Levemetes are level based, so each of them offer different Levequests

[faint flare]

Or to NEW worlds

None of the above currently exist

[round parcel]

Gotcha

Looks like I'ma make a new character, just for Odin. Thanks for the info

[oblique yew]

what's the name of the UI element when enemy is casting something?

[faint flare]

Just world visit since its in the same Data centre

can you do squadron missions with other people or are they solo only?

How long should I keep my Shire gear equipped?

Is it good till next expansion’s poetics ? Or equip the drop gear I get

Same as ironworks

Lasts you 5 levels

Poetics always last 5 levels

Hello, I am sorry if this is the wrong channel for this. My wife and I recently purchased the complete edition but it was giving us trouble downloading the patch. Eventually hers downloaded fully after the fourth or fifth try and she is good to go. Mine on the other hand continues to get errors. I'm just curious if others experienced this problem and what solutions worked for them.

[oblique yew]

does a party with one player per job give some extra buff?

[faint flare]

1% stat boost per unique role

And no limit break penalty

Double jobs penalises lb generation

[open sinew]

I'm so frustrated with this issue whatever it is I'm ready to quit the game. For some reason, after a while of playing, whenever I mount, use an item, teleport, etc. it hides my sheathed weapon/shield and I cannot re-renable it. I can only re-enable it when I dismount, but when I mount again, it goes away. The only fix I've found is completely uninstalling the game and reinstalling it. I've reinstalled about 20x now and I'm tired of it. It's not worth constantly having to reinstall the game to get it to work right and I don't want to play a game where it constantly hides my weapons. Video attached for reference of what I'm talking about.

[mint forum]

Can anyone help me figure out how to get the frog suit? Google says a fate questchain in the tempest, which I've completed multiple times. I know the rare fate has a long spawn (24-48h or something) but can I just stop at the last fate in the chain and camp/wait for the rare fate?

[shut panther]

only the final fate drops the currency iirc

[faint flare]

You only need to do the final fate

The chain just tries to spawn it

[mint forum]

gotcha, thanks. any tips for finding out groups to do the fate with?

[hearty geode]

are the dlc such as shadowbringers etc a one time purchase or do you have to pay for them AND base game monthly? (talking mainly bout steam but should translate across anyway lol)

[faint flare]

One time

[hearty geode]

ah ok thanks :)

[faint flare]

The sub is a different payment

[hearty geode]

ah right ok thank yous

[split dust]

there is any SAM rotation guide per level?

[boreal storm]

Monthly sub is just that

[faint flare]

Weskalber has levelling rotations for all jobs on YouTube

[split dust]

ill search for him, ty

[boreal storm]

You pay 13-15 to play whatever content you own

[faint geyser]

Is there any easy way to get ahold of a cobalt bar? Don't have nearly the levels in bsm to make one, or min to procure the ore, and I'm playing free trial so no marketplace...

[heavy wadi]

do you have the option in the character configuration menu set to display main and off hand gear when sheathed?

[modest laurel]

is any1 else here having problems trying to login? I keep on getting errors while in queue on EU.

[faint geyser]

EU is dead

[hearty geode]

alright cool thanks for clearing up :)

[heavy wadi]

EU is still being DDoS'd.

[faint flare]

Go level mining and blacksmith

This is why we say level everything together

[modest laurel]

Man, who is being such an ass to do this 😦

[faint geyser]

But I don't wanna level mining and bsm

[faint flare]

Then you can't get it

[modest laurel]

I just bought the new expansion

[faint geyser]

Fine

[boreal storm]

You literally have no other options

[faint geyser]

Guess I'll go do it

[open sinew]

yes please check the video I posted

[faint geyser]

Wait what about desynthesis?

[heavy wadi]

in character configuration in the settings.

[faint geyser]

Buy a bunch of cobalt bows

[heavy wadi]

not on the character screen.

[faint flare]

You need to level the respective crafter to desynth it

To at least 30

[boreal storm]

And bows are carpenter, I think

[faint flare]

And there's no guarantee you'll get it

[leaden ginkgo]

i'm level 23...how to get a chocobo

?

[faint flare]

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[faint flare]

Story then blue quest after joining a grand company

[open sinew]

it unchecks that box whenever i mount. in the character configuration settings too. do you want a video of that too?

[errant walrus]

so i am back from some research on servers while i was waiting kujata could create new character
.... seems like carbuncle is also ok in terms of English speaker?

[open sinew]

and if i'm mounted it won't stay ticked

both the one in character configuration and in character

[heavy wadi]

is this checked? did you press apply at the bottom? https://i.imgur.com/MEaPXnb.png

[open sinew]

yes. here let me record another video

It has to be a video or you can't see the problem
