Hey, i'm lvl 52 but i cannot use my lvl 52 spell, there is something to do ?
!faq whynojobquest
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
O0h ok ty
there is no chest
which are best jobs to make gil for retainers?
are you sure you queued for extreme and not hard
Then you queued for hard.
There's no chest for shiva unless it's extreme iirc
Your retainers job level can never be higher than what -your level is on that class-, so make sure you use that to help decide.
Otherwise, up to you - Gatherer retainers are mainly used to feed crafting materials to you passively. Combat jobs can either collect mob drops, or you send them out for Quick Ventures and pray for something good tbh
i will look again
@leaden ginkgo you stop getting chests in trials after 2.0 iirc
Yeah, no chest for shiva normal
so botanist and miner would be nice i guess
someone suggested me omega today look at this
A common approach is to select a combat job (doesn't matter but they cannot be a higher level than you are in the same job) and either a miner or botanist for mat farming.
pretty sure you get chests in all the trials classified as EX
oh i see
You get chests in the hard arr primals
For sure, I have one combat and 3 gatherer retainers. For mat farming
whatever you are highest in. All combat jobs function the same for retainer.
It does not matter
i only have healers right now :S
Whatever is highest or rather whatever you're planning on continuing
Yep, like i said a retainer can never be higher than you are so if youre a healer, dont make them a bard - make them the same as you
Also helps you gear them up because they like to have a * gear set too, haha.
Indeed
can white mage retainer be useful? :d
Of course, they dont actually "fight" they just stand there literally and then disappear for an hour or a day or whatever, and come back to stand some more
All combat job retainers get the same stuff
guys is it dumb to use silver chocobo feathers on gear?
oh i see :d
what else you can use them?
idk 😄
how do you get platinum bozjan coins?
Chests from Dal, rarely from Skirmishes/CEs, or trade 100 mythril coins per plat.
If I add a materia to my weapon will it forever be there or could I take it off?
And is adding materia to gear called materia melding?
You can try to remove it if you have a high enough leveled DoH, but there's a chance of failure.
Just wanna make sure I’m not doing anything stupid
yes, the term is called materia melding or just menlding.
For this is just need to do the 3 three dungeon or a quest related to those dungeon ?
You do need to complete the instances themselves. There's a quest to unlock it but that doesn't count.
Okok ty
How do I remove materia from a gear piece?
are the third and fourth screens of ur inventory only for items to overflow into if you fill up ur regular inventory?
If you have a high enough Crafter (which one you need depends on the gear, it will tell you near the bottom of the item's description window) you can right click and select "Retrieve Materia".
The last window is for key items and crafting crystals. All other screens are for your regular items.
I don’t have that so I guess my materia is stuck there for now
Someone told me playing music is very different on ps4 and pc and that that its in someway much easier on pc, is that true?
correct. You need the appropriate crafter at the appropriate level to remove materia. There is no other option like there is for melding.
Iirc most people use a plugin that takes midi as input
Is that not available on ps4?
@plush hound no you just need to do the quest and you can remove materia

You only need a crafter leveled if you intended to self meld

Maygi’s POTD 1-200 Handbook (Solo/Party) ~BIG ANNOUNCEMENT~ I am making my debut as a VTuber soon! Please check out my Twitter~ any support is much appreciated! https://twitter.com/MaybeMaygi/status/1427115916580503552 ~ EDIT ~ Looking for a Heaven-on-High guide? Here’s a link to it! ~ INTR...
is a very good resource for soloing potd
ty!
which one?
@shut harbor if you have done the quest for materia melding, just right click on the item and click "retrieve materia". If youre on console then its a little different but I dunno console stuff
thjats cool they use midi signals
oh for bard
does new game+ only include the msq's or can i replay some blue quests such as hildibrand?
still thats cool
Ok lemme try
okay thank u
Can anyone help me? its abt the online store, im trying to buy an outfit but my cc is LATAM any help or fix? i did put a USA City n zip code since there wasnt any LAN options 
why everytime I login now theres 1k players in queue? did something happen?
@nocturne aurora are you on EU?
I have 2k poetics what can I buy to sell on the market for gil
yes
ddos last I heard
yo how long till i get Dark knight? im on lvl 28 msq rn
oh well
@desert cedar its unlocked in heavensward so its after lvl 50 msq's
I searched and got this "Dark Knight requires no base class and begins at level 30, unlocked by completing the quest "Our End" offered by an Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13, 8)."
yeah but to get to ishgard you have to finish base game campaign first
arr is the base game right?
yes
yes
but you have quite a bit to go thru
aight im speedrunning this sht, i want that dk
if thats a good idea
Uhhh
dont skip through the story, youll miss out on a lot of fun parts of the game
people say i should take time
You’re gonna burn out
you can always go back and replay it with new game+ if that's a concern to you
You’re gonna burn out really hard if you try speedrunning
I dont recommend but thats what i did
I finished based game and post within a week
I mean if you really wanna play drk then feel free to speed run/skip to hw and replay ng+ but general recommendation is to not skip
Base*
i was hopinmg i could get somewhere near end game before new world comes out
You will
you will for sure,
If you play couple of hours of msq progression everyday
how do I find or join a hunt train?
question- in solo content, do tanks do noticeably less damage than dps jobs?
and the "endgame" is only like 30% of the content in the game, its not the meat and potatos like in wow @desert cedar
Centurio hunts discord
Usually hunts happen in shb area
not by that much
But there is some in stormblood area
you'll be slower by like maybe a couple of seconds
Depends on the conductor
@cursive ridge I played warrior and things seemed to die slightly slower, but I felt safer with all my cd's and self heals
Der
can you ballpark a %% estimate?
Whats the best way to find a static?
Uhmm fc
@cursive ridge like 5-10 seconds per solo kill, but you can AOE pull like a boss
Usually party finder then its all about being friends with them
where can i get red mage?
a tank deals around 40-60% of a DPS
I highly recommend tank or healer for your first run through of the story so you dont have to sit in queue for MSQ duties 😛
huh, must have missed it then. thank you!
can you equip any materia to any gear once you do that one quest or do you have to have the right profession?
so is it mostly raids? and the savage stuff that i keep seeing on youtube
@desert cedar most of the content is the story
is there a limit on how many items you can put in the glamor dresser
not enough
how do people get alot of ore then someone said they get like 10 ore per hit
lvl 60 poetics gear has fending and custodian, should i get custodian?
pick clean + other boosters, but thats not the most efficient way unless you only want like 40 of an item real quick and have full landsaint gear
well im using landking atm, planning on working on landsaint once ive got my miner and botanist to 80 however, im not sure how you would get 40 of an item easily
since a fc member said with full land saint they only get +2 or +3
heya! on the free trial can you create your own free company?
you dont get 40 easily in one node, thats why I said its not the most efficient way
you can't even join an existing free company on the trial
what is the most "efficient way" then
ah, alright then
that doesnt have one answer, it depends on what youre trying to gather
well for example. atm im tryna gather 640 truegold ore
HQ or no?
bump
400
i wouldnt be using pick clean if i wanted hq 😄
am i good to put old job quest gear in it or do they get upgrades or something
for multiples?
if it's the level 50 job gear you can put that in the armoire
@leaden ginkgo multiples, more the one, several
if it's level 70 you can upgrade it if you go out of your way to run eureka
otherwise, nah
why the armoire?
do you mean different nodes or use pick clean multiple times within that 1 node
If I want to use as glamour
@leaden ginkgo you cant pick clean more than one in one node
armoire has unlimited space but can only hold specific items. you can use items from the armoire when making a glamour plate
ah right
but yeah ehm whats the most effecient way to get alot of 1 ore quickly
as its a pain in the ass tryna get 640
I just told you
actually, the level 50 job armor does have an upgrade, to make it dyeable,
use pick clean on CD and grind it out
well yeah pickclean and what else.
oh
ah, ok
how do you get that?
whats the ehm....unefficient way people do it to get 40 per thing
penta melded 490?
!faq afgeardye
A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.
Heavensward i210 set: Dyeable upon opening up the coffer received from completion of your level 60 job quest. Should you have disposed of any particular pieces, they can also be bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Yolaine in the 'Artifact Gear Exchange' option.
Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.
Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.
where is the poetic gear from kugane ?
there is no EFFICIENT way to get a ton from one node, like I said, you can do it for like 1 node and then youre out of GP
just do what I said, trust me
Hello all you beautiful people. Newbie lvl 80 here on my first job. I am reading a guide that shows I am going to need some ilvl490 gear to start running lvl 80 dungeons and raids. Where can I go about getting my first set? I looked at the MB but uh....don't quite have the gil folks are wanting. I haven't tried looking at other servers yet. Any feedback or assistance is most appreciated
isn’t eureka getting removed?
no, i said unefficient way. im not gonna do it but i was curious how some people get 40 out of it
You keep asking the same question expecting a different answer, I told you already how to get a lot from one node, just read it
no
is there anything i should add or remove from my hotbar, as idk i feel like there are stuff i should or shouldnt be using
no?
it's already an expansion old
it's not going anywhere
It's wrong
well, someone was mistaken, i suppose
who ever said that is wrong
was it a youtuber? lol
nah
they love clickbait that has no basis in reality
there was a comment made in a recent interview about making it even easier to solo
what kind of rewards do squadrons content give? I know you need it to get max rank company stuff but thats about it
there's a few emotes behind running dungeons with them
a couple of emotes, a title and an alternate way to level for 20-60
for running dungeons with them
there's also 18hr missions you can run at 50+ that gives you buffs that are same as rank 3 free company buffs
aren't the item buffs better than the highest-level fc buffs?
i said rank 3
making rank 3 is a pita
plus can only make it if you own a house and have an aetherial wheel
okay, makes sense, my b
can buy them all if you really want, and no you od not
simply need to own the appropriate expansion for the expansion job boosts
those restrictions were lifted a looong time ago
Hello there wonderful people. I started playing this amazing game yesterday and I love it a lot. Is there someone with decent knowledge about the game who wouldn't mind giving a beginner some tips going forward? Thanks in advance and have an amazing day 😄
skip realm reborn
run your leveling roulette daily if you can afford the time
i dyed my armor snowwhite, switched for raiding and now its back to normal, wtf is that?. ..
Do weekly GC hunts reset on wednesday?
does materia get gear synced
Sync ignores materia
As an off tank where should I be standing?
I assume I can only open this weapon thing at lvl 70?
I have a few lower then lvl 50 but I can't open them
how do you know it's only for ARR?
Bc of the item level
because you can't open it on any expansion job
and the item lvl
is much lower than the weapon given from sam/red mage unlock
ah I see, just one more question, what can I do with this? since I can't open them
use it on an ARR job and then either sell it or use it on that job
alright, thanks

Welp, sure, but with 90% of the leveling being story, it's gonna take a while
don't know if this is the best place to ask, but I want to delete a square enix account from X email, and then link another square enix account to it. Is this possile?
I have time, It's just that idk what that is xD
Currently trying to level my botanist. All the websites say i can get the Commercial survival manual from scrip traders, but none of them show it in stock. Is there some quest chain im missing to unlock this manual?
is there a list somewhere that shows what weapons you can obtain from coffers?
Does damage mitigation skills stack? And if so, is it additively or multiplicatively? (EG. Paladin's rampart + scholar's sacred soil)
Multiplically
Guys, I need to cancel my wedding in order to switch home server so my friends can attend. When I speak to the guy it says 'I must hand over my bands', will I lose my platinum bands I paid for?
Would I be able to get them back?
That’s the turn in item for the wedding
So I'd get my purchased item back and be able to home server swap?
We want to do the wedding again on Spriggan, not Moogle.
But I've paid £20 and don't want to lose it
Youll have to buy it again I think. Mogstation doesn't do refunds usually.
Anyone know where I can get the dye-able Bale gear? DRK lvl 80 job gear
Bruh that's so dumb. I can't transfer worlds while the quest is active, and if I cancel it I don't get the quest item back so I literally just lose out.
That being said, I don't know how FFXIV treats the wedding items when server hopping
yeah that sounds about right
You're locked in buddy
Memoria extreme drops dyeable 80 job gear
That is so stupid
alright
Weddings have been a thing for like 6 years, and they aren't exactly cheap. Why is there no solution to this by now.
it's a pretty niche issue.
There just isn't any information on it whatsoever, like it just says when I go to cancel 'you'll have to give me your bands'
This isn't rants.
anyone here do any PVP? Just tried a couple of the modes for gear and honestly hated it xD
Does anyone know if a blue mage discord exists for Aether?
How do I get the marauders to "face /me" in the gladiator quest
oh
Is thordan extreme min ilvl harder than alexander savage?
yo what does the darker orange bar mean?
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
Umm for the weekly Masked Carnivale challenge how the heck am I suppsoed to do Stage 7 without taking any damage AND in time fo rtoo fast, too furious?
I can definitely do one or the other but not both
when I visit 2x xp server, will I also get 2x exp?
can I do story quests with my friends and earn rewards too?
if an item breaks does the spiritbond not increase anymore til its repaired?
Good day ladies and gentlemen's , I have to ask , could anyone here be bothered to help my sorry arse farm Soul of the creator savage [ unsynched ] ? ? ? [ primal / hyperion ]
No cause there's much more mechanics in savage with tighter execution
Imo Temporal stasis shenanigans are a whole world appart form thordan
oh ok
3 types of debuff to juggle live some can mix some cannot Ou O
why are there rarely bards now performing in the city compared to last week?
at a certain time of the day after a long grind, i just want to sit and listen to live songs
/performance
the new mount on the store only transforms in flight right?
there isnt a command to make it transform?
Yes
Correct
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to complete all the requirements for this
Can someone help me with a simple Macro? I want to have a button that casts hide and if I am then under the 'hidden' aura a second press to cancel it
Where should i buy lvl 30 dark knight gear at? Like wheres the best place. the marketplace?
what song is used for https://youtu.be/Ujiql92CKuIthis scene whenever we meet the voidsent
idk if anyone answered you yet but it's under your Duty Roulettes section in the duty finder
you unlock it early in the story after you beat 2 story dungeons
Buy from the regular vendors in one of the three starter capital cities
you should run it daily after because it's a large source of exp
Ul'Dah?
Ishgard doesn’t have vendors with level 30 gear and the marketboard is kind of ass for that level personally speaking
That’d work fine but all three sell the same gear
i just need some gear for DK so i can just lvl him to 50 lol
Yeah just go to an NPC vendor in the sapphire avenue exchange
if you have GC seals, turn em in for gear
And buy the level 30 tank gear and accessories
really cheap and ez
Aight ill see both ways ty
Perfeect, cheers 😄

Looking to transfer off of Crystal. Need some server suggestions. I started my XIV career way back in 2013 on Levi but I dont know if I wanna do a West coast DC so probably Aether
All NA DCs are literally in the same place lol
what does it mean when one is yellow?
It's synced
I don’t know what to tell you besides put all the Aether and Primal servers on a wheel and get to spinning
Like servers have their own communtiies honestly
idk just pick one lol
They don't anymore
don't know what synced does in potd sry :/
i guess faerie has a comparatively large LGBTQ+ community
other than that all the other server stereotypes are outdated
Server communities got destroyed/merged with world visit
So no difference between Primal and Aehter
Nope
Crystal I know theres a big difference
Not really that big
What are MB prices like on Aether?
It can’t get boosts from that floors’ silver chests
((Yeah a lot of RP community drama thats why I am just xfering off)
OH so i can't get +20 before i reach floor 20?
you can just use the !market aether command to check
in the bot channel
it's a decent ballpark
You can but it's incredibly tiny chance
Like tiny
if i die at floor 100 or so do i lose all aetherpool?
No
hey the cruise chaser mount is in the store for good right? its not based on the moonfire event right?
It's permanent
nice!
Nothing gets removed off the store
Ever
well arent there event stuff?
A Swim suit
got it, so i guess the mount isnt an event item
Stuff never leaves the mogstation
so after the 26th i can still buy the mount
yes
is there any way to get rid of tooltips? I use my cursor to do my AOE so I see it all the time, its not hindering me that much but it would be nice if I could get rid of it
wait. i just got +20 at floor 12? i think i'm misunderstanding how this is working
nvm figured it out
Like I said
It's a TINY chance to be upgraded when synced
When it's not synced it's guaranteed to get upgrades
which is easiest disciple of hand job to lvl up?
All
All cause they're the same
!man materia is cheap on Aether
Character Config > UI settings > General > Display Action Help
Question do housing items sell well off of RP servers? Trying to think on how I'd make gil
depends on the item
yeah but in general do people like buy housing stuff
Thank you
gotcha I know RPers spend millions on housing decs
I just didnt know if none rpers took housing as seriously
Everyone doew
awesome
is there a way to know which instance has bonus light for ARR relic?
No cause no one tracks it anymore
Damnit
Okay, thanks! 🙂
does anyone know where I can find the mac download for the free trial? !faq freetrial provides a download link for windows, is there something similar I can do for mac?
which is a better way to level up 50-60 leveling rouletter or queing for high level dingeons
Best is to do On level or closest to dungeons
Final question sorry is there a server I'm most likely to be able to find housing on?
Lol no
Housing is a mess. Its bad everywhere
aether and primal DC is packed lmao
20-50 too?
Yeah every DC/world is basically in the same boat
maybe we might get some new servers for EW
or 6.1
so maybe should just wait and see
Yep, do the roulettes for the bonus but then move onto doing dungeons on level or closest to your level for the most exp.
kk
!faq altlvlguide
hi guys, never tanked a trial before and my friends are about to reach ifrit, how does it work? who tanks the boss between the 2 tanks?
This explains it basically
what does cairns of return do?
Revives people
First ifrit fight is only 4 man so no worries.
Ifrit specifically is the dps and healers kill the nail when it spawns. Outside of that stay out of aoes.
Also point the boss away, normal tank stuff
How do I get SE to get rid of gathering bots that I report every single day?
They ban them in waves
I reported the same bots six months ago.
Is there any way I can preview a hairstyle before attempting to buy it?
no way to preview in-game
awww okay, thanks!
do you only get rested xp with ur active class?
guy question, does I need to complete ShB dlc to unlock the skirmish gameplay mode something ?
Rested xp applies to whatever job you're getting xp on.
so when there's 8 players trials, there's 2 tanks right? what does the tank that doesn't have the agro of the boss do?
You don't get rested xp per job though.
Youre a dps
Basically
turn tank stance off and do dps
ok ok
Higher end stuff might have ads that the off tank picks up
be there to take aggro if the main tank dies
Sometimes theres two things to be doing that requires two tanks anyways tho
It depends on the fight, but essentially be ready to turn it on and provoke if a tank swap is needed or the other tank dies.
Can you elaborate a bit? Which?
Bozja maybe?
probably means bozja
thanks for the tips guyz
if you mean bozja then yes, you need to beat shadowbringers msq up to the final mission to unlock bozja, which then further needs the stormblood alliance raids done
Then, yes to Bozja - complete 5.0 and 5.1 (And Ivalice Raids from SB)
and then for further parts of bozja you need up to 5.3/5.4 as well iirc
someone fact check me but it's one of those for zadnor
saw that earlier but I avoided it because i'm pretty sure it's the full version launcher and requires registration code. downloaded it just now and it asks for registration code. I need to find the trial launcher for mac that doesn't ask for registration code
how many generic shared armor types are out there? like cloth/leather/plate thing type
and i know the game doesn't really use these terms
I'm not 100% sure i understand the question
He’s asking how many armor set types there are
But basically theres Tank Gear, Dragoon Gear, Melee DPD, Ranged Physical DPS, Caster, and Healer gear
Like how tanks use the same armor
So in terms of shared theres that.
What does this mean? My plant icon thing also changed
Fending, Maiming, Striking, Aiming, Casting and Healing respectively
dragoons don't share their armor with anybody?
You're no longer considered a returner
They will when endwalker comes out
While in a party, what are the damage colours?
Red: melee?
Blue: magic?
Orange: ranged?
Nope
I honestly forgot lmao
Tanks: Fending
Dragoons (and Reaper): Maiming
Monks and Samurai: Striking
Ninjas: Scouting
Ranged DPS: Aiming
Caster DPS: Casting
Healers: Healing
is that what it call ? i saw on video it have something like resistance ranking as well
that is bozja yes
it's jank anyway, Scouting uses Aiming accessories
Bozjan Southern Front, Zadnor after that, and a bunch of related instances
oh cool so does I need to complete SHB to get it unlock ?
yes
aw men
^
you need to dive into post-shadowbringers yeah
i do not recall if delubrum needs anything
well thx for info
DR at least requires progression in bozja past rank 10 + completion of CLL
does anyone know where I can find the free trial launcher for mac? I need to download it from a third-party source because downloading it from the square enix website requires you to create an account when I already have one. there's a command on this server to give the download for windows, but I need a mac one
I'm on a mac currently and could just click download at the bottom of this page https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/mac/download/
tried already, it requires registration code. I need free trial launcher which doesn't require the code
Someone I'm talking too destroyed their Wonderous Tails book as it was discarded, but they don't have the option to grab a new one from Khloe/Zhloe, anyone know how to fix that?
is the fenrir mount tradeable?
no
wait for the next weekly reset
Even though it was already an outdated one?
sorry, should've put that in
wait hang on, they might be talking to the wrong cat girl, smh
and yet here we are
It's khloe

Not zhloe
zhole
gloriole
what's the best way to grind loathsome memories of the dying
why cant i use my fire 3 spell when i have mana for it
do cll in bozja
are you synced down
idk what that means
FYI don't use fire 3 for DPS, keep using fire 1
1 clear of cll gives 5 loathsome
only use fire 3 if you get the firestarter proc
idk what that is either
Dungeons and fates sync your level to the dungeons level
oh yea
aka your level is reduced
is there a way to remove glamour but keep the dye??
or just keep doing fire 1
!faq blmleveling
Blm is boring till fire 4 at lv 60
Can I get the marriage glamour with a single ring? or do I have to find a partner for that
you're gonna need a buddy
I’m on the road to 60 anyway
Marry your homie for the tax benefits
shower with a friend to save water
do them at your leisure
the HW alliance raid and raid tiers have very little to do with the MSQ
crystal tower was forced because it's important later
not particularly, you can skip most levequests
useful for leveling crafters and gatherers later but there's a more popular method nowadays than levequests
ight ty
When they say use on cooldowns they mean when your physical attack is spinning right?
uhh if I understand your question correctly
yes you generally want to use your oGCD skills while your GCD is spinning
it's called weaving or doubleweaving
I think if the phrase is "use on cooldown" for a rotation for example. After you've used your base rotation you use those skills once they come back up as well.
Is there like a place i can see all hair styles that can be bought?
Thought there would be some ingame tool like for 2b hair, k will look for it
Can I buy two rings, and gift it to my partner
or do we both have to buy the ring individually on mog station
you can probably gift a wedding package to your partner
but no you can't trade the ring
it has to be bought or credited to their account
What is the difference between red names and green names?
ok. thanks for the help!

iirc green names means the house is open to visitors
and red means it's not
with crafters does the secondary tool stat only matter when you do the activities associated with it? Also for gatherers?
the primary tool saying +100 gathering or something sort of gives the impression that it's across the board but why would the hatchet help you use the scythe
oh so I can use like a diamond pickaxe and my dingy wooden mallet will be empowered?
thanks
so this whole secondary tool thing is basically pointless besides looking like you're using another tool
I dunno. I was under the impression that increases your overall stats. It is worthwhile to get
was just confused about the word 'secondary tool' especially since the story tells you like it's this other aspect of your job
If I unequip this I lose a ton of stats
yes, because as stated, it's a stat stick
some activities require you having an offhand equipped
but otherwise you should always have one equipped anyway
it's free stats
it's like saying why wouldn't you equip a 2nd ring
do you get more exp if you solo POTD?
Why would you
Is there a setting so that the party member selected will stay selected until another is selected? I play healer so it's quite annoying having to target the tank again and again
The achievement
Cause it's one of the hardest achievements
so I was told doing job quests for crafters are necessary because of an ability you get, is this the same for gatherers?
To solo all 200 floors
The alliance raids that only allow you to claim 1 item does those items include the cards, minions ect aswell or only gear.
I keep seeing online that I can run dungeons with NPCs so I don’t have to wait for a queue. How do I do that?
oh
Only the gear is subjected to the lock
only certain dungeons
There's no locks anymore
Yes, it is definitely 100% worthwhile for gatherers to do job quests
level 1-60 you can run with your GC squadron
ah well wasted nier rai d bec i did skip everything incase it were the other way around.

level 70+ you can run with shadowbringers trust NPCs
Gatherers unlock an ability at 70 job quest that lets you regen GP faster
right
Ahh. I’m currently on MSQ level 16. Does that mean I have to run it with people?
yes
Dang
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Botanist_Quests
You start getting new abilities from quests at level 53
Gotcha. So now I have to set aside a certain timeframe in order to continue the story. Wonderful
yeah you mean like a month of time
Throughout the questline you get new equipment to help you, so I'd say that alone is enough reason to do them 🙂
whats the name of the baseball cap ?
Calfskin rider’s cap
No. I mean I have to make sure nothing happens IRL for a good half hour
Hey, is it me or we can't get Shadowbringer "normal" raid in New Game + ? Is the story not released completely for this one ?
Do dots/hots snapshot?
are there situations where combat will not increase the spiritbound progress of a piece of equipment?
yes
what is better on whm, PIETY or DET? I noticed the exarchic gear is all DET
where does it come from ?
Does DR normal give 3 timeworn artifacts now? I vaguely remember grinding it out 15 times a few months ago, but just got 3 artifacts from a run now on an alt job.
Some of the mats come from a shadowbringers treasure map
crafting using mats only available from treasure maps
Zonureskin specifically
yes
Just to be clear it used to be 1, right? I'm not insane
piety is one of the worst stats
if you are a new WHM and running full exarchic then you're going to be super over the recommended amount of pie
you're right
Yes they changed it a 1-2 patches ago iirc
Oh nice I'm glad they did that tbh
even recommended whm BiS "safety" sets use only 1000 or 1200 piety
you should look for crit and DH otherwise
crit and DH not crit and DET?
Are there situations where combat doesn't increase spiritbound status?
crit det only applies for warrior
Do i need to be the level of my enemies?
yes, you really want DH because your gear doesn't naturally come with DH
but some pieces have crit and det on it
those pieces are generally the best options
why am i always ignored i don't get it like it's not just this server
crit det is pretty much the best substat you can have on the gear itself
unless you're going for the not-recommended max sps build for experienced healers
right, cause everyone chiming in to say 'i don't know' would be so much more useful
ok fair
i want too enter PoTD f51 but it says unable too enter gear doesnt meet requirement??
what am i missing?
Because I for one do not know. It just comes naturally and I don’t notice it.
All good
thanks @robust crow
Need higher Aetherpool levels
check the whm channels on the balance for more information

damn my gear is 12/20
how does savage loot work? I cleared umbra first time last week and got 1 book, and the cleared umbra 2 times today and got 2 books but i thought you could only get 1 book a week lol
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Tomestone Accessory upgrade
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Tomestone Armor upgrade + Tomestone Weapon upgrade
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
the 1 book per week restriction has been lifted
Savage loot lockouts are completely removed currently
because we are at the very end of the raid tier
is there no limit?
hello, currently lv23 ARC and leveling is taking a long time, what should I be doing?
that restriction only applies when the savage tier is current
The only loot lockout currently in effect is the materia token from paradigm’s breach
so i can get bis in one day? god dam
well, no
so wait i have too reset back too floor 1?? e,e
too grind more lvls?
Leveling roulette and spam highest level dungeon
you would still need revelation weekly tomes to get your bis
Just use your other save file
which could take weeks depending on your class's bis
oh ok
but they even doubled the revelation cap from 450 to 900
A single 1-10 should be enough
because we're so deep into the raid tier
i only have two guild ops and both of them are for lv10, am I... supposed to have more ?
Dungeons, not guildhests
yeah probablyXD unless i get all my upgrades again on my armor
If you don’t have those, do more story
wait are you saying i'm overleveled
my free to play friend is tired of the restrictions, how many games should he buy? just end walker? ARR+ShB? Just ShB then endwalker later?
Ok, this is a wild guess, but I'm betting spiritbound is based on exp earned
If you don’t have Sastasha unlocked then yes.
!faq product
So if you just fight random monsters for like 500 exp a mob tops you get nowhere
don't even know what that is, fuck
but a fate for instance will work wonders
welp, gonna go do story i guess
Hello guys how does the fantasia works? can I use it and look IF I wanna change my character or is it gone once I try to edit him?
using the fantasia consumes it
and lets you log out to access the character redesign
once you confirm a redesign change then the redesign option is gone
question does Delubrum count as a level 80 dungeon for Wonderous Tales
until you confirm a redesign change, the ability to access the character designer stays there
Nope
ahh so I can redesign and if I dont like it I can cancel it and log in again and I would be able to redesign him later?
Does the Calfskin Rider's cap remove ponytails?
Dang it T.T
yes, it only consumes it after you confirm the change
even if the fantasia item itself is gone from your inventory
you can still use the redesigner up until you confirm a change
okey thank you!
where can i check which weapons i can get out of coffers?
Is the Wondrous Tails upgradiing to lvl 80 dependent on MSQ or level?
Level dependent
The exp you get from it will always be half of what you need for the next level
i.e need 4 mil. it will give you 2 mil
I mean for the dungeons required and giving Gold Certificates
i'm inclined to say yes - can't actually check rn but you could preview it from the market board
guys should I join guilds like Culinary, I'm trying to finish every quest that I see, so are those guilds are limited to player ? like join one or I can join all, so I should do it as well ?
Hello! Is there a way to shortcut "Try On" from the right-click menu when trying to look at gear? Or are we stuck right-clicking > Try On every time?
ty
which is faster for alliance raid queues? tank or dps?
not for alliance raid
DPS is generally faster for alliance raid
menphina's earring is so irresistible, is this the first item of this level?
just reached lvl 51 should i spend my tombstone on this set ?
since a 24 man alliance only takes 3 tanks
i've only done one alliance raid i think and that was just to finish ARR
is there other better options or is this the go to ?
go-to until you finish your job quest at 60
see my comments above; DPS is faster for alliance raid specifically because a 24 man alliance raid only takes 3 tanks
Your best gear until level 54-55 in the story
That's the best 50 gear
ok thanks
got it thanks 👍
Get the weapon first though, since that’s a massive boost in damage
Previous expansions also included a preorder earring
whoa, would that stack with menphila for people who has it?
No
No, they occupy the same slot
It's unique right?
Cause you only have 1 earrings
oh i see, for some reason i thought we have it for left and right
I almost bought it but I didn't wanna over-power through the MSQ.
feels bad, they power creeped ala mhigan earrings
well sure they are, because there's content past stormblood now
they aren't gonna release menphina's earrings and not have it boost you all the way to updated level cap
technically the Ala Mhigan ones didn't do that
They boosted XP to 50
When the level cap was 60
What this quest icon mean please ?
Repeatable
Repeatable quest, either daily or weekly
But why a + ?
you know what i mean though, they wouldn't release preorder items that didn't boost you further
That one in particular gives a material needed for the HW anima weapon
Though you can also buy it for like 350 poetics
So i need to do it daily ?
If you’re not getting an anima weapon then no.
Okok ty
You don't need to do anything, it's up to you
Hello, can someone give me some advice about the Squadrons? I cant understand how can i reach the minimus attributes for the missions.
Im at 280/280 and cant reach the 3rd one
higher level members = higher stats
run it like that
oh wait that's a promo mission
yep
I thought the statistics did not go up
Manage your squadron and find automatically the best combinations for the hardest missions.
Cause you can drop your rogue for someone else
you can move around the 3rd stat to the 1st
you cap at 280
your limit increases after you finish that mission and promote
Okey ill try that, thank you so much

is there a way to disable the system messages that spams the chat when you apply a glam palette?
is there an ability in this game thats like a BLOODLUST ability, like in WoW where everyone gets a big bump to stats/dmg for like 30 seconds.
All raid buffs in the game
no single class can cast that ability and its like a 5 min CD with a 10 min Debuff on everyone.
??
There’s no singular super buff ability
There's no skill quite like bloodlust
Raid buffs don't debuff people
But lots of smaller ones that stack together
alright.
is there a better way to find players for thornmarch hard then using the duty and party finder i cant find anyone and i need to do it to continue the game

guys! For the 180 items for the relic, is better to do zadnor or 8-man raids?
Do Zadnor so you can farm mettle to finish the story/for honors
At least do the skirmish items in Zadnor and you can finish the CE ones in raids if you want
okay! i was just spamming normal raids like crazy
and then i started to though that maybe zadnor would give me more in general

Can you get the zu mount at level 50 without gil?
what are the allag thing coins for?
Vendoring for money
okay, so no need to keep then in the back. Thank you
can you bind a key to advance cut scene dialogue?
are allagan tomestones of poetics only used for lvl 50 gear?
no
they're for old expac gear, essentially
used at 50/60/70 and 80 when ew comes out
They’re also used for some relics
Can you get the zu mount at level 50 without gil?
you'd need to be in an fc with an airship
ok
im lvl 60 and i can only see lvl 50 gear, do i have to finish heavensward msq?
so no?
yes
then you'd get level 60 gear in idyllshire
kk thanks
is there a way to move the dismount button from the last slot on pet action bar?
i can move all my other buttons but not the pet bar ones 😦
You can't edit the pet bar
so i have to setup my hotkeys around that bar if i want dismount to be keybound?
dismount is keybound to z
Or reuse the mount itself
yeah i just want to be able to use x
Hey guys.. I keep wanting to go back to ff14.. but I don't have any friends to play with...
and i was able to do that before because i had x bound in that last slot anyways hahah
but changed it for UI theme i guess i just have to change it back
I feel like I am missing out doing stuff with other people.. is there a way to meet people?
is there some sort of guide i can follow for getting max collectability for gathering?

when im in a large triaLB ?
when im in a large trail. How can i tell who used the LB >?
What role
doesnt say it in chat.
The cast bar
You can tell by the animation
You should see the player casting it/animation locked.
LB3 is unique per job
ok, ya i saw that, but didnt know who did it. was wondering if any way can tell after the fact.
ya was an awesome LB.
You could always scroll though the combat log
ya im looking but dont see it, maybe i filtered out LB, ill have to check it
is there a discord for hunts on aether
the vfermillion one looks like
That'll be a Red mage then ❤️
ok ya it has a red tinge to it
Was you Blinded? 😛
Defo Red mage =p
this is the red mage lb3, for the record https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCncHOaZSps
3rd Tier Limit Break for Red Mage, Vermillion Scourge, used in Emanation. This is my personal character, Choi Kwon of Faerie, please do not reupload or use without permission :)
actually thought it was a wipe when it went off
wow ya thats nice LB
love seeing the LBs
Not if 3 go off at once
would it be Actions initiated by others ?
to check off in the filter ?
so it logs it in battle chat
or it could be Detrimental effects inflicted by party memebers ?
Since my starting job is gladiator and is currently level 24 with level 16/17 MSQ, it’d be more beneficial to switch to another job to turn quests in, right? If so, would Arcanist be the most “efficient” in the sense of getting a DPS and a Healer leveled up to go along with my main/starting tank class? Or is it better to just keep pumping all the MSQ exp into the one class even though I’m over leveled?
My retainers are currently lv 50+ each and they bring around 5 allagan silver pieces per 18h venture
What's the max amount of pieces and type a retainer can deliver at max level?
Personally, I didn't start leveling another job until HW
But if you want a 2-in-1, then ACN would be efficient

hey, so, i've been hoarding obsolete gear while waiting to unlock desynthing but it's become a problem. is it even worth it or should I sell this stuff ?
i'm keeping those cause i've been told the free trial had a gil cap; they can act as a 'bank' of sorts
should I just sell all the normal quality stuff?
Are you talking about retainers?
no
Most of that stuff will probably sell 2k or lower, at most
You can hold onto the gear if you really want to but honestly you should sell those random materials
@mossy delta all the low level stuff wont desynth into much, no reason to stockpile it as a trial player, youll make 1000x its worth just from doing the MSQ quests
There's really nothing in there that you can't easily get back
its like filling all your pockets and drawers with pennies when you make $50 an hour every day
should i use my lvl 60 drk to complete heavensward msq or level my lvl 58 war to 59 to not waste xp?
Up to you
You don't waste exp unless you're on free trial, then otherwise might as well use it on your WAR
@rancid onyx if you wanna min/max then use your lowest level job you can on the MSQ for the armoury bonus, but exp is super easy to get in many different ways so it really doesnt matter
yeah im on trial
Use it on your WAR unless you are going to buy the full game soon

I've never done beast tribe dailies before. I see that it says "Today's remaining allowances: 12". Does that mean I can only do 12 dailies today across ALL beast tribe dailies (from ARR, HW, SB, and ShB) or just ARR or something else?
The limit applies to all beast tribes
Does that number ever increase ?
No

Question. How does Pentamelding work? im trying to overmeld my gear, but its not letting me use a 4th slot :/
So like early in the morning? Or is this a thing that changes when square decides to change it
8s can only be overmelded 1
Can't overmeld 8s or 6s past the first slot
Need 7s
that make sense now. TY!
Hey so im a little confused by desynthing. How do i do it? I unlocked desynthing in general, it looks like i can desynth some gear but not most of it. What determines whether or not i can do this?
you need level 30 in the relevant class to be able to desynth it
I thought you could desynth shinryu gear for scales, but its not let letting me
I chose blacksmithing for weapons
as for what can and can't be desynthed, it's mostly current tier endgame gear
You need lv30 in that crafter
some weapons are CRP/GSM
Blacksmith doesn't do all the weapons
also ALC for books
Sometimes armourer for shields
Probably have answered this a million times. I am lvl 55 BLM should I just keep playing MSQ to get better gear or rotate roulette's. This is my main.
I'm pretty sure you can only desynth the weapons. I ran ifrit today and couldn't desynth the bracelets.
No
the bracelets can be desynthed
Different items need different crafters levelled to desynth them
It's listed on the item tooltip
There is a channel where post fates arr relics? 🤔
Ahh that would make sense. Goldsmith is my only non 50 crafter
what are the odds of desynthing a shinryu weapon and getting a scale? it is based on level or just pure rng
based on desynth skill
if it's below the recommended, it's lower
if it's at or higher, it's better
we don't have concrete % rates since that's all server side data
and you increase the skill simply by desynthing things huh? higher level desynth higher progression?
How many silver pieces can a retainer bring back from a 18h field exploration venture at max level?
makes sense
i think mine brings back like 5-7 for the highest tier of exploration ventures?
icic, mine's lv 50 ish and i'm getting 5 per day
Since I've just started beast tribe quests, I only see three available from the two I've started. Does that number ever grow per beast tribe or do I only have access to three a day per beast tribe?
