[faint flare]

Overmelding forces materia in

[hollow aurora]

what do you mean of equal level?

[faint flare]

Despite the slots not being visible

You need a lv80 crafter for 80 gear

[hollow aurora]

I am a level 80 blacksmith

and alchemist, and weaver

[faint flare]

Make sure yoy unlocked overmelding at mutamix then just continue melding like normal

[hollow aurora]

ah it might be that

ok thx

[modern sail]

Bought a mount and some emotes. emotes came through but mount did not. normal?

[storm sapphire]

How do fishers stop fishing without putting away their rod?

[obsidian patio]

Don’t cast your line out after catching a fish

[toxic kiln]

how do I use "approved grade 4 skybuilders' hemp" to craft skybuilders' hemp milk?

[storm sapphire]

what do you mean?

[toxic kiln]

do I need to convert it to the regular hemp somehow?

[halcyon shore]

Press 3.

[obsidian patio]

Go to the grade 4 recipes

[toxic kiln]

oh...

thanks

[obsidian patio]

Plain and grades 2-3 are from outdated phases of the firmament construction

[storm sapphire]

oh so just hook it?

[halcyon shore]

Yes

Just reel in the empty line

Like if a fish was there

[storm sapphire]

alright, thanks

[compact shadow]

When you change to dancer or red mage, will your lvl go down to 1 with that job change?

[halcyon shore]

Bear in mind that actions like moving your character will make you quit fishing

[brittle umbra]

how do i get here?

[halcyon shore]

They start at 30

I think

[runic cairn]

red mage starts at 50, dancer at 60

[obsidian patio]

Flying

[compact shadow]

Thank you!

[runic cairn]

that's the heavensward jobs, future expansions' start 20 below the expansion's cap

[halcyon shore]

O.

[runic cairn]

so 50 for stormblood, 60 for shadowbringers, will be 70 for endwalker

[primal gull]

Your level only goes down to 1 when you pick up a new starting job (PGL, LNC, ARC, etc)

expansion jobs are special as previously noted 😉

[fathom finch]

is it a big deal to get spell #48 for blue mage glass dance?

as in is it a good skill to have if i already have a primal skill

[obsidian patio]

The more primal spells the better, since they have different cooldowns and most can be used together

The main ones people use are Garuda/Ifrit, Ramuh, Shiva, Brute Justice/Sophia, Ravana, Suzaku, and Tsukuyomi

[fathom finch]

glass dance is such a bitch to get a full party for synced and im not getting unsynced

[obsidian patio]

Thankfully it and Garuda are the only spells from extreme content

But yeah it can suck :/

[toxic kiln]

can I purchase skybuilders' materials somewhere or do I need to harvest them myself?

[obsidian patio]

Marketboard

[rancid onyx]

any tips for leveling with a gc squadron as a tank? i keep dying because the healer doesnt want to heal me, im just pulling 2 groups

[toxic kiln]

I haven't seen it on the marketboard :/

[fathom finch]

is the drop rate on ramuh and the naval bad?

[obsidian patio]

About the same as all primal spells

[primal gull]

You can harvest them yourself in Diadem

Or buy the approved versions on the market board

[obsidian patio]

Stick to single pulls until they get better battle tactics (The green/red/blue/dark blue buffs)

I personally have my healers on any but Offensive

[dire prawn]

What does the Shire set for NIN look like

Is it just a reskin of the Aiming set like the Ironworks set is

[hollow aurora]

are the %'s to meld accurate?

it says 17% but I wasted 20 materia

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[hollow aurora]

should have been a very low chance of that

[topaz estuary]

i just bought this

[hollow aurora]

I should have gotten it in around 6

[topaz estuary]

but i cant find it anywhere

[obsidian patio]

There’s no RNG protection for melds

[knotty lily]

17% doesnt mean one in five will work, though

[boreal storm]

17 is pretty low

[knotty lily]

Thats a big old gamblers fallacy right there

[hollow aurora]

rng protection?

[primal gull]

Did you use the mount item in your bags

[obsidian patio]

Basically the game subtly raising the chance with each time you fail a meld

[knotty lily]

Just wait until you fail a 95% meld or succeed on a 6% HQ craft, you'll get there

[topaz estuary]

oh its here

thanks

[primal gull]

Use that then it should be added to your mount guide

[hollow aurora]

@obsidian patiodo you know how much I need in terms of cp to craft exarchic hq?

[obsidian patio]

Depends on the rotation you follow and how much total stats you have

But most rotations probably assume near-max CP

[hollow aurora]

I mean just reaching the minimum is going to be hard lol

[obsidian patio]

Which is like 560 + food

[hollow aurora]

damn I'm going to need maybe hundreds of thousands in materia to meld the aesthete gear

possibly millions

like gil value I mean

[obsidian patio]

Take a look through this sheet and see what i510 4-star recipes are close to your stats https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSX69Ta5IEcdnAbmg1H9j0lUcZ1aNavxXVOShevCfy0j34N9dJOWsJWWrpPV41dOQ3wqpJ4eJZWHO6q/pubhtml

Anyone know how to use an emergency removal code? I just transferred phones and forgot to disable it.

[hollow aurora]

@obsidian patiothx

ye I am way too low so far in terms of craft and control

[sacred oracle]

Please rate monk and nin difficulty /10

[hollow aurora]

@obsidian patiorn I have 2551 craft and 2334 control and 470 cp before blood boullabaise

can I even raise craft to 2800 with pentameld?

[potent lava]

so im testing out blm in potd, and for some reason I cant use surecast?

[obsidian patio]

Monk is like 6/10 for me, ninja 8/10

Though I don’t really like playing melee dps

[sacred oracle]

I see

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi! Excuse me if this is somehow out of place, or if I seem weird, but this is my very first time on Discord. I actually created this account just to join this group and ask a single question. During my adventures in Eorzea, I was told by a fellow player, that our characters aren't really "ours" and we just follow their story? Is this really part of the design philosophy? Are the looks of my character the only part of it that's mine?

I already asked this in the ffxiv-discussion channel, but was told to ask here if I want a more holistic answer.

[obsidian patio]

If you’re asking if the dialog options we make have meaningful changes in the story, then no

[topaz estuary]

ofc our character is "ours" what is it then

[sacred oracle]

Do you think perfect the optimized rotation is really needed in high end content?

[obsidian patio]

Not as much anymore, but it’s always good to try your best

[sleek cedar]

Hey! I'm trying to do some fishing levequests but I can only see the single-item quests from the guy, he should also have some of the triple-item ones. Do I have to unlock those somehow?

[sacred oracle]

I see thank tou

[boreal storm]

WoLs in FF have always been “the adventurer dude that does the plot”

[leaden ginkgo]

Wynne Yilmaz, no. What I am curious about is whether the character makes some important decisions which affect the story without player's intervention.

[hardy scroll]

what are all the free mounts that i can get on free trial. I didnt know i could get polar bear mount until i saw an ad pop up on my phone lol

[potent lava]

the player character is enough of a broad strokes character that you can fit your own spins on your own WoL, but they will make the same big steps as any other WoL

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[boreal storm]

No, because every one has the same storyline

[leaden ginkgo]

But originally, I was simply told that the characters in this game are more akin to, say those in Devil May Cry, where you are but a passive observer of the story and Dante is not your character.

[boreal storm]

But Dante is your character

[primal gull]

I wouldn't say that's a fair comparison, because Dante is an established character already

[boreal storm]

You play as him

[primal gull]

The Warrior of Light in FFXIV is literally whatever you decide they are

[potent lava]

to an extent

[leaden ginkgo]

He is his own character. You play as him, but you do not role play him. He is not like, say Shepard in Mass Effect.

[potent lava]

the difference mostly is the WoL is silent most of the time

only silently nodding and reacting, so its very easy to put your interpretation on how your WoL acts

[primal gull]

You don't get any control over the storyline, it is 100% linear and everyone going through the MSQ has the exact same experience. There's no "oh this person died for me because I didn't do their loyalty mission" a la Mass Effect

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes, that I am aware of. It would be neigh impossible to pull off in an MMORPG.

[boreal storm]

We say snarky things occasionally, like: “piss off, kupo”

[royal totem]

so, as a new player do I just ignore all gear drops (unless I like them for glamour) and just use my daily roulette Allagan tomes to buy the i130 set in Mor Dhona ?

[knotty lily]

The thing is, I would say your character IS you, or what you make them - they're a bit silent yes but you can extrapolate any headcanon you want for them.
And while every player experiences the same Main Scenario (unlike Shepard), do understand that the plot of FFXIV would be LITERALLY impossible without your character. The skills that you possess are the only reason Eorzea develops as it does, without you, the player, the Warrior of Light, nothing would happen - that is to say dont think of yourself as a "bystander"

[boreal storm]

While you’re leveling up, use whatever gear is available to you. Ironworks is only for lvl 50s

[rancid onyx]

do achievement certificates have a cap on how much you can hold at a time?

[knotty lily]

If you mean gear drop in level 50 dungeons, yes - nothing beats the i130 Ironworks set in Mor Dhona at 50. Keep picking up anything thats better than what you have tho.
Once you get into Heavensward, you'll find that around level 55+ the gear drops and quest rewards DO start to beat ironworks gear, and the same thing will happen to you at level 60 because there will be more Poetics gear. (again at 70, 80, etc)

[plain python]

does solo Dragon's Neck and Big Keep have a better chance to drop cards than fighting NPCs?

[primal gull]

No cap that I'm aware of; you keep accumulating them even after you've bought everything you can

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah! This is how you quote people. Yes, Dante has his own story, he's the centerpiece of the story, he's also its propeller. Lemme ask one last question. Are there any moments in the story where my character will take a plot-changing action without my intervention? Say, kill some important person in a cut scene which will lead to serious consequences in the world? If so, are these regular, or rather sparse?

[boreal storm]

No

Because everyone has the same plot line

[toxic condor]

Hey idk how to explain this but I saw someone use some sort of idle looking emote where they kind of were swinging their arms back and forth, and I have found 0 info about where to get whatever emote or pose that was, does anyone know?

[leaden ginkgo]

So the character simply goes with the flow and reacts/does what people tell them to?

Thank you all for your time! I really appreciate it.

[primal gull]

They were probably using the "hum" emote, which I think you unlock through MSQ

[knotty lily]

It might be the /hum emote, if you want to lok up a picture of that. You get it from a Quest Line in Stormblood

[true valve]

the hum emote is form the four lords quest line

[knotty lily]

Apparently its the Four Lords questline which is side unlockable content, but

[primal gull]

Er, not MSQ, sorry. It's part of a side quest chain

[toxic condor]

Thank you that's the one. I found 0 info about that emote no matter where I looked

[spice kraken]

why am i getting little gold/xp now that im on post-ARR?

[primal gull]

Because post ARR was level cap content

The xp will pick up again once you get to HW

[spare loom]

Is micro stutter normal?

[fickle glacier]

is there a channel on this discord, to find partys and guilds? Am i blind?

[obsidian patio]

#603040858782040095 for finding FCs

[leaden ginkgo]

when the quest objective is with chat mode say and then the phrase how to i put it

[obsidian patio]

If you just want to find people to play with, use the in-game party finder or use #retired-eu-datacentres

[sick osprey]

im doing ARR relic weapon questline, currently need to get the atmas. i see many people online reporting that it takes multiple hours of nonstop fate grinding just to get a single one. is that still the case ?

[obsidian patio]

Definitely not anymore

[sick osprey]

thank god

[obsidian patio]

The drop rate has been buffed A LOT

the longest dry streak I had with my last zodiac relic was like 10 fates or so

And most zones I got the atma in 1-3 fates

[obsidian patio]

Make sure you type the phrase exactly as written, including capitalization and punctuation

[leaden ginkgo]

i’m doing that it’s not working idk why

[obsidian patio]

What quest are you on?

[leaden ginkgo]

unto the truth

in shadowbringers

I should be done with the Shadowbringers base MSQ tonight. What do I do to gear up from there?

[obsidian patio]

Feo Ul is with an L, not an i

[leaden ginkgo]

(I.e whats the highest ilevel right now?)

[obsidian patio]

If you’re doing that

[leaden ginkgo]

wow

[obsidian patio]

530 for gear, 535 for weapons

Check the pins for a guide on gearing up

[leaden ginkgo]

thank you!

[errant escarp]

any recommendations on a class to play for a bit? played lancer dark knight and gunbreaker. I'm fine with starting at level 1 too. Was looking for an interesting class to play that also has cool weapons

[true valve]

BLM cause explosions

[obsidian patio]

If you’re fine with casters, I find that BLM get a decent amount of weapon variety in looks

I like flashy looking weapons

like

glowy shit

does it have cool glowy stuff to go with the BIG explosions?

[dire prawn]

What raid has a boss that spawns these tree-like adds that become huge as shit in the next phase

[obsidian patio]

Yeah a bunch of glowy weapons

You can check a good amount of them on the marketboard

[brittle umbra]

which lvl 50 dungeon is fastest to solo? at lvl 80

[obsidian patio]

They’re the crafted primal weapons and should all be a blue color in their item tooltip

[obsidian patio]

Probably Amdapor Keep normal or Brayflox Hard

[leaden ginkgo]

i hate this so much

i keep missing punctuations

[faint flare]

Titana

[warm snow]

Dancing plague

Aka the how good is my ot check

[dire prawn]

You are correct

[pale nimbus]

Is RDM perhaps the best Job for challenging endgame solo play due it being a DPS with healing?

[warm snow]

Honestly pld is better for solo shit

And I love rdm

[feral nebula]

Is there a way to see the % of EXP i have from that level?

[modest igloo]

WAR is pretty good too

[glacial isle]

with regards to the lvl 80 Allegory Tomestone gear, does the usual priority for Tomestone gear apply or should i grab whatever I can just to get the iLvl up so I can run Nier/Eden raids for better gear?

[warm snow]

Ilvl up imo

Since you need to do edens verse to get a weapon anyways

[paper trout]

Prefacing this with "I'm new to the game", is there any job level requirement for gear? i.e. if I make a weapon for a conjurer as a carpenter when my "main" job is archer, is anything stopping me from equipping the highest rank of conjurer's arm I have immediately or should I hold onto the lower ranked weapons?

[candid walrus]

hold on to the lower ranked gear

[runic cairn]

jobs have separate levels

and yes, gear has level requirements

[paper trout]

Got it, I'll hold onto it then

[candid walrus]

Yeah dont be like me and run around naked after switching to a new job, trying to find a gear vendor

[paper trout]

Yeah I figured out when I switched to Botanist from Archer that it was a good thing I held onto my starting gear lol

[leaden ginkgo]

i got a penalty count for withdrawing from a mission while it was ready

is that bad

[thin meadow]

How can i join the Asmonbold channel ?

[runic cairn]

just don't keep doing it

[wooden crest]

Could some1 help me boost a Blue Mage on EU-Spriggan?

[spiral inlet]

did they ever rerun the lightning event?

[brisk escarp]

are addons agaisnt tos? I've readen post of years ago saying that it is but only if you tell people about it. If I install a dps meter or a shaders addon would it be bannable?

[runic cairn]

you won't get banned for it

[heavy wadi]

yeah you won't

[wooden crest]

no its not bannable, unless you use those tools to harass others

[runic cairn]

don't mention them in game, definitely don't harass other people over dps

and you'll be fine

[heavy wadi]

dps meters are in a gray area - just don't go around harassing people for their performance

[brisk escarp]

and would it be a problem sharing screenshots of the game using shaders?

[runic cairn]

not at all

[heavy wadi]

outside of game? nah

[brisk escarp]

Cool! thanks ^^

[waxen siren]

Question, can I glam the cryptlurker drg head piece onto the tank headpiece?

No

Thanks

[regal abyss]

I bought the game on steam but it's downloading everything again, I already have the game installed in another path when I was on trial, can I just move the game to the steam libreary folder?

[obsidian patio]

I think so, yeah

[sick osprey]

if you played the trial on steam as well then yes. if you played trial standalone then no

[obsidian patio]

Best to look it up if there’s any small side stuff you have to do

[regal abyss]

I played on standalone first

[vagrant crescent]

How do I do 1080p borderless windowed?

There's no presets, only 720p. But if I switch to Full Screen, leave it at 1080p then switch to borderless windowed then for some reason even though it says 720p still it stays at 1080p instead whic is weird.

But the problem with that is after I restart the game it goes back to 720p alot of time, so I have to keep changing it constantly. Is there a way to make it stay at 1080p borderless windowed? Hope that made sense, lol XD

[shut panther]

Use lower level materia if you don't need the stats

[proud willow]

Are you sure? Borderless Windowed should always be the same resolution as your monitor. It doesn't matter what numbers show up under Custom, because it's not using those

[spare loom]

I finished post storm blood what's crystal towers?

[boreal storm]

ARR alliance raid

[proud willow]

Crystal Tower is the level 50 alliance raids from A Realm Reborn

[boreal storm]

Do this ^

[spare loom]

Okay thanks

[vagrant crescent]

It's been like that since day 1 which was 1 month ago now. Only 720p and no options to change it, but somehow changing to full screen then back to borderless somehow glitch the game to stay at 1080p while stay saying it's 720p?

[proud willow]

You are not in 720p

it's showing 720 in Custom, but Borderless Windows doesn't use that setting

[vagrant crescent]

Then why does it go back to 720 size when I restart the game?

[proud willow]

because it's what you'll change to if you switch to another screen mode

[vagrant crescent]

I didn't?

[proud willow]

If you switch to Windowed, the first resolution it will suggest is 1280x720

[vagrant crescent]

Unless it's because I'm using 2 monitor? Though the game is showing up on one monitor instead

[proud willow]

that doesn't mean that your Borderless is in 720

[vagrant crescent]

First one it suggest is 1080. I don't even need to change the presets. If that's what you mean

Just switch to full then borderless

[toxic kiln]

Does the job of a Retainer change what they bring back from Ventures?

[proud willow]

the only reason 720 is in the Custom box is because it's going to show 1280 and 720 as the suggested resolution if you switch to Windowed

it's a field that does not matter when you are using Borderless Windowed

[wicked pulsar]

Which Gladiator (or Paladin?) armor set/pieces is/are shown on Character Creation when you use the "job" clothes display?

[vagrant crescent]

How do I make it stay at 1080p than?

[proud willow]

AF1, the level 45-50 set from the job quests

[proud willow]

You can't.

[wicked pulsar]

What does AF stand for here?

[vagrant crescent]

So keep switching to full then back to borderless is the only way than?

[proud willow]

Artifact, a term used in FFXI for iconic job outfits

[proud willow]

No

What resolution is your main monitor?

[vagrant crescent]

1080p

[proud willow]

Then when you are in Borderless Windowed, no matter what is displayed anywhere in the settings your resolution is 1920x1080

[vagrant crescent]

But the game is smaller than my screen sometimes when I restart? Luckily it don't happen all the time but alot of times it do

[proud willow]

That shouldn't be possible unless you changed to Windowed

[vagrant crescent]

I changed to windowed because the game is smaller than the screen. Switching back to windowed than borderless fixed it everytime

[proud willow]

I can't find any old posts where people have had a problem like that. You could try reinstalling your video card drivers I suppose

[vagrant crescent]

As you can see here I am using 2 monitor, and it is in 1080p which you can see at the bottom.

[vagrant crescent]

I suppose I can try that, lol XD

[brisk plover]

How long is Stormbringer if i skip cutscenes

[clear cove]

hey do things like echo, min ilevel, or unsync change rewards or is it just bragging rights?

how do i make loop pet?
other than
/pet

/wait 5

it has a max

[proud willow]

You can't loop a macro, though you can go into /gpose and your character will repeat the last emote you did

[vague wedge]

will try it later

[noble kernel]

those spiral towers in coerthas can go to hell

[faint flare]

They dont

[proud willow]

Min ilvl makes more of the orchestrion rolls drop, but it is primarily for challenge/bragging rights and not loot

I've reached the first step in the relic quest where I can reallocate stats on the gunblade. I have no idea which stats are best to be honest!

How does Kupo bot work?

Go to #kupo-bot-spam and type !help

It's wonderful there!

It does so much!

I live in that channel.

!market primal Dark Chestnut
I use it to search for cheap items!

[tall raven]

how does the anima weapons tokens work I am not understanding the 10x and 4x

[primal gull]

what are you not understanding? You need 10 of 4 different items and 4 of 4 others

[tall raven]

on wiki there is 8 items for token 1

[primal gull]

that just means there's multiple ways to get them

you can use poetics OR beast tribe tokens OR whatever else it lists

[tall raven]

ah ok so any item works as long I have 10 of 4 different items of my choice

[primal gull]

No

You need 10 of each of the unidentifiable items

[tall raven]

ok so the tokens combine makes Animated Weapon Material

[primal gull]

10 bones, 10 shells, 10 seeds, 10 ores

You can buy them multiple ways but you HAVE to have 10 of each

[tall raven]

yeah after I get those

[primal gull]

There's 8 things in total you need, the unidentifiable stuff you can get from poetics (1500 for 10 so 6000 for all 40), the others you can buy from your grand company (5k apiece and you need 4x4 so 80k seals)

[primal gull]

Then you turn all those items in to the npc in Mor Dhona

[fervent bronze]

is there an option that shows distance to target?

[obsidian patio]

don't think they're usable as macro icons

[obsidian patio]

nope

[untold cedar]

These previous resistance drops(from certian fate areas etc), do I have to be on that specific quest for it to drop? Or is it enough just to have "unlocked" the drop?

[primal gull]

So for 1 Enchanted Rubber you need 10 Unidentifiable Bone and 4 Adamantine Francesca @tall raven

[fervent bronze]

aight

[tall raven]

thats what I was say to two makes the material I need

the format order was fliped so I got confused

yeah thnks

[primal gull]

Yeah I usually just collect them ahead of time

Most of the anima weapon can be done before you even start the quest

[tall raven]

I have 2,000 allagan tomestones and 33,174 seals

[primal gull]

Yeah uh, you're gonna need a lot more

10 Unidentifiable items is 1.5k and you need 40

And that's just for this one step of the weapon

The entire questline usually runs....what, 12k?

[tall raven]

and is the seals good

[primal gull]

More?

You'll need more seals too

[boreal storm]

80k seals for the other things

[primal gull]

80k for the step you're on

And another....I wanna say 40-60k for a later step?

[shut panther]

You have to have the quest in your log for the items to drop

[untold cedar]

Thanks for the answer!

And ugh

[shut panther]

You can have as many quests active as you have level 80 jobs

[primal gull]

Gotta be on the quest but don't need to be on that job

Or even on a level 80 job

[untold cedar]

Need to be 80 to start the first step

[primal gull]

Right, but to get the drops

[untold cedar]

I just tried with my lowbie whm 😉

Ah yes

[primal gull]

You can be on whatever job you want

like, you can get memories from crystal tower on any level 50+ job, regardless of whether you have that job at 80 or whether that job is the same one you're making the weapon for

[untold cedar]

I only have 3 jobs at 80, but each are on like step 2, 3 and 5

So I've essentially screwed myself over on step 4 drops now

[hollow aurora]

if I have the whitescrips set should I be able to craft aesthete hq gear no problem?

[shut panther]

It's certainly doable.

You might need a couple hq materials, I never did the math

[twilit arch]

yes

[shut panther]

Keep in mind of course aesthete's is actually worse than white scrips without considerable melding

[tall raven]

will thats the picket cap for me

[primal gull]

What they're saying is, spend before you reach the cap

Because if you're at cap you won't earn any

And they will just be wasted

[hollow aurora]

@shut pantherye I tried pentamelding and wasted 20 materia worth like 20k each on my server for no reason lol just gonna white scrip it far cheaper

[tall raven]

true

[shut panther]

Honestly doing aesthete's right now is a waste of effort

[tall raven]

didn't have the purpose for them until now

[hollow aurora]

@shut pantherhow much control and craft does the full whitescrip set give you?

[shut panther]

The exarchic market is a hypercompetitive hellscape and you don't need aesthete's for anything else

I don't know off hand

[primal gull]

There's plenty of uses for poetics even without anima weapon stuff

[hollow aurora]

I mean exarchic looks llike it sells like hotcakes

aesthete looks like it sells well too tho

[tall raven]

ah

[hollow aurora]

but only the chest piece it seems

at least on my server

I;m trying to craft it from nq

[primal gull]

For example ironworks/shire/scaevan gearsets for every class at 50/60/70 that are better than basically anything else at that level

[shut panther]

It sells reasonably, certainly, but at least on my server the prices do not justify the effort at this point

Versus just selling the materials

[hollow aurora]

I mean you can just buy the mats

it's like 50k expense for selling ti at 200k a pop

[shut panther]

They're still selling at 200k on your server?

[hollow aurora]

180ish

sometimes 200

the melded ones sell for like 800

[shut panther]

Last I checked on Exodus every piece was <90k

[hollow aurora]

for aesthete or exarchic

[modest igloo]

different servers are wack

[shut panther]

Both

[modest igloo]

elemental has them going for 50k tops

[hollow aurora]

my server is a goldmine for certain items

[shut panther]

But that was months ago tbf

[modest igloo]

brynhildr its like all over the place

[hollow aurora]

craftsman command materia goes for 20k rn on my server

last week it was 40

[shut panther]

Your server sounds wild

[hollow aurora]

ye legit you cvan become a gorillionaire easy, but it's just such a bitch to get to min stats needed to make exarchic and aesthete

btw do trial synths assume nq?

or hq?

[shut panther]

If prices were like that on Exodus I might actually be bothered to make use of my pentaset

Trial synth assumes all NQ mats

[hollow aurora]

damn so I am so close

[shut panther]

You're better off figuring things out in team craft, rather than trial imo

[hollow aurora]

what is teamcraft?

[shut panther]

A website with a crafting simulator

[hollow aurora]

ah

[tall raven]

will thanks for the help I be level grinding anyways so I will do it a long the way

[hollow aurora]

does anyone know what all white scrips gear gives you for craft and control?

just gonna grind it out

[shut panther]

You put your stats in, pick the item you want and you can play with the rotation directly

[wheat plume]

I'm getting some of my crafters at lvl 80, what can i craft and sell to make good gil?

[shut panther]

Then you can copy the macro out

[vagrant crescent]

Has there ever been a FF game where you allied with a Dragon? FFXIV Heavensward seem to be like that so I was wondering if any other FF game done the same, lol XD

[wheat plume]

FF2 has Ricard

FF4 Kain

FF9 Freya

[obsidian patio]

FF15 with Bahamut kinda

[modest igloo]

ff13 fang

[primal gull]

FFX kihmari is a dragoon/blue mage

[vagrant crescent]

Alot, lol XD

AWESOME, lol XD

[wheat plume]

FF7 Cid too, but I think his jump was Limit 1

[shut panther]

They said dragon not dragoon xd

[primal gull]

Oh, durr

I read good

[vagrant crescent]

Welp, lolXD

[rich gazelle]

if i want to try potd without wasting the exp granted, what's a good level to start? i'm aware our level restarts to 0 there but we get exp to our actual class every 10 floors

i have red mage lvl 55 for example

or astro lvl 42

[primal gull]

literally anything sub 60 is fine for potd

[shut panther]

Potd level =/= regular level

[wheat plume]

in my times it was called Dragon Knight lol

[shut panther]

Either of those is fine

[rich gazelle]

any minimum level required?

i also have some classes not unlocked

[primal gull]

17 to unlock potd

[rich gazelle]

like NIN

[shut panther]

The exp for potd only falls off at 60 yeah

[rich gazelle]

ok

thanks

[primal gull]

Probably not a good idea to go in with classes you don't have job stones for tho

[shut panther]

You can do potd from level 1 once it's unlocked AFAIK

[primal gull]

Like if you go in on a level 1 ROG you will always be a ROG in potd

And never get NIN

[wheat plume]

some months ago I read everywhere there is a think u craft using 10 allowances and sell the reward for millions of gil, anyone knows about that?

[primal gull]

There's nothing that lucrative from leves

[obsidian patio]

probably the level 78 CUL leve with coffee biscuits

[wheat plume]

yeah, it was that

[obsidian patio]

where 100 allowances is around 1.8m gil, not counting the elemental crystals

[primal gull]

Coffee biscuits are good but they're only like 18k per allowance

not millions for 10 allowances lol

[hollow aurora]

hmm why can't I find the full white scrips set

[obsidian patio]

might need to buy in eulmore or the firmament from the scrip people there

[primal gull]

The highest ilvl one should be under level 80 gear III

[wheat plume]

What can I do to get gil? I'm already at endgame and some crafters at lvl 80

[primal gull]

leves are a solid way to make some gil, you won't get super rich super quick but hey, if you have the allowances you might as well use them

[hollow aurora]

I am just wondering what all handsaints set cratf and control is

[primal gull]

coffee biscuits end up being around 100k for a day's worth of allowances, which adds up pretty fast

[obsidian patio]

learning the marketboard and carving out a niche for yourself can get good steady profits

[primal gull]

Other crafting jobs have similar turnins

[vagrant crescent]

Was Sage in any other FF games, or is 14 going to be the first? Lol XD

[primal gull]

Tellah in FFIV was a sage

[wheat plume]

3 and 4

[hollow aurora]

am I really going to have to do this manually

[vagrant crescent]

I see :D

[obsidian patio]

I managed to make like 60m+ gil in like 4 months from finding my niche and being one of the few sellers for it

and knowing how to cheaply get the materials

[vagrant crescent]

What jobs does FF14 has that no other FF game has than? Lol XD

[wheat plume]

in 3 it was a job u could use, in 4 u can't choose job, but one character who was in ur party some time was Sage

[obsidian patio]

Astrologian is FF14-unique

[primal gull]

tellah didn't shoot lasers tho

[obsidian patio]

Machinist too, probably

[twilit arch]

this is how much you'll have with full handsaint

[wheat plume]

Mustadio and Edgar

[obsidian patio]

Gunbreaker is also somewhat unique, but is based on squall from FF8

[hollow aurora]

@twilit archthanks so much

[vagrant crescent]

I see, lol XD

[primal gull]

FFVI Edgar is a machinist

[hollow aurora]

saved me a lot of time

[wheat plume]

I'm watching the levequests lvl 78 for other crafters but rewards aren't items

[obsidian patio]

BSM's dwarven Mythril File leve is an alternative to coffee biscuits

[primal gull]

I think ALC has one as well

[obsidian patio]

but in all cases you need to compare the cost of materials or how easy it is to get them

and then see how much the leve itself gives for gil

[wheat plume]

oh, so it isn't a reward for turning in, but it's the item u turn in itself

[obsidian patio]

yes

[primal gull]

Yeah, coffee biscuits are popular because you can do it all with just CUL/BTN, and the items stack in your inventory

[wheat plume]

But then I don't need allowances to craft them

[obsidian patio]

you make the files or coffee biscuits and then use the leve to convert them into direct gil

[wheat plume]

oh

lol, I thought it was a turn in reward that I sold in market

[steep heron]

Is there a way to add a symbol to a macro
Example: If I hit someone with Trick Attack, is there a way to mark them with a number from the Signs menu?
This is for use in PvP.

[primal gull]

The leve awards X gil, doubled for submitting a HQ item, and you get 3 turn ins per leve

So if it says it gives 2500 gil, you actually get 15000 out of that allowance

(2500 x 2) x 3

[obsidian patio]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/text_command/4348eed9de5/

[wheat plume]

but the levequest for that only costs 1 allowance and reward is 4073 gil

[steep heron]

pog ty wynne

[wheat plume]

or is there another NPC who accepts 10 allowances for better rewards?

like the ones in HW

[obsidian patio]

temple leves were only a HW thing

and were only time-efficient, never gil or exp efficient

[wheat plume]

ok, so dwarven mythril file, I must craft it 100 times to get 100 times 4073 ??

[obsidian patio]

times two on the reward for HQ

[primal gull]

You get 4073 for submitting a normal one, so double that for a HQ one

[wheat plume]

nice, I thought that was only for exp

[primal gull]

And those leves allow multiple submissions for a single allowance

[obsidian patio]

Also I think the Mythril File leve should be a triple turn-in, based on the leve plate im looking at

[wheat plume]

so Dwarven Mythril File and the biscuit, are the most efficient in material cost?

[obsidian patio]

since it uses the same plate as the coffee biscuit leve

depends on your server

[wheat plume]

but then why people reccomend them more than the others?

[obsidian patio]

like Kinger said, the ALC one might be a good choice too

[devout pelican]

what does it mean when someones name is orange reddish when you are looking a plots in a resiedential area?

[obsidian patio]

Coffee Biscuit is very simple in materials

[primal gull]

The coffee biscuit one is specifically recommended because you only need CUL and no other crafters, plus the items stack in your inventory

[obsidian patio]

and Dwarven Mythril File materials can be very cheap due to treasure maps

[primal gull]

So you can craft hundreds of coffee biscuits and have them only take up one space, whereas the files do not stack

[obsidian patio]

private plot. only they and tenants part of the plot can enter the house

[jovial tide]

Did primal just crash?

[wheat plume]

For the Dwarven Mythril File, is it recommended to buy the base materials only? Or could I get good gil too buyint the intermediate materials?

[devout pelican]

darn i hope they add more housing plots. i wanna buy one

but shirogane is full up

[faint flare]

6.1 is adding ishgard housing

[primal gull]

I haven't done the mythril file leve myself since I don't have BSM at 80

[devout pelican]

eh id rather shiro

[leaden ginkgo]

When does the Free Login campaign end again?

[faint flare]

Well people will be relocating out

So

[obsidian patio]

The 23rd

[honest summit]

How do you buy hairstyles from the market board? Where do you go?

[leaden ginkgo]

an 2 weeks of playtime from the campaign, right?

[obsidian patio]

They’re in the miscellaneous section, but they all start with the word “Modern Aesthetics”

So you can find them by searching that

[honest summit]

Ok

[dull valley]

First time doing POTD, im getting this message when I try to continue on my save. What do I need to do?

[leaden ginkgo]

I think get your aetherpool to +13 or higher?

[wheat plume]

how long does it take to get my 100 allowances again?

[obsidian patio]

Depends on floor

[obsidian patio]

3 per 12 hours, 6 per day

[dull valley]

says im floor 11

[obsidian patio]

I think you need like +2/2 or +3/3

Use your other save file to run floors 1-10 again

[dull valley]

ok

[crystal bluff]

resshi attire isnt gender-locked right?

[obsidian patio]

The store page will tell you if it is

[crystal bluff]

figured as much
just wanted to make sure. thx

[vagrant crescent]

How good would you say the writings are in Shadowbringers when compared to other FF games? I heard 6 and 7 is the best FF games so would you say the writings of ShB is comparable to 6 and 7 or no? Lol XD

[primal gull]

I mean, that's a subjective question, but for me personally (not being the biggest fan of 7 or its writing)

ShB was on the same level as my favorites (6, 9, X)

Post ShB was even better than my favorites

[vagrant crescent]

AWESOME. If you say that's that high of a level then I'll really be looking forward to it pal, lol XD

[umbral dune]

I failed at floor 40 of PotD, would that I try again and success, do the aetherpool upgrade remain after or I outright delete the save?

[vagrant crescent]

And by post, do you mean like an updated story that came after ShB? :D

[smoky totem]

can you autogather during leves? :0 cant find the tick

[primal gull]

I'm talking about the storyline that continued in the ShB patches

5.1 through 5.3

[obsidian patio]

If the option isn’t there then you can’t :\

[leaden ginkgo]

Bought Starter Edition… I can’t buy Stormblood or Shadowbringers separately right?

[vagrant crescent]

AWESOME, lol XD

[inner imp]

Heya, how can I craft a specialist recipe?

[obsidian patio]

have the relevant specialist stone for your crafting class equipped

if you never unlocked specialists, complete this quest

Ohh I see it's a quest to unlock that, thank you :D!

[novel orbit]

Is stormblood a long expansion?

[smoky totem]

it sure feels like it yes

[novel orbit]

I just want to get the dancer set but I am so far behind in the story

[wheat plume]

Where can I see what is in a macro for crafting?

[lunar nexus]

Currently leveling a DRK and I'm around level 60. Is there something I should be doing to get EXP besides doing roulettes and the highest level dungeon I can currently queue for? I haven't been having issues leveling until recently; it used to take only two or so dungeon runs (or a single roulette) before I'd level, but around the late 50s it now takes four to five dungeon runs (or three roulettes-ish) to advance a single level.

Obviously the curve makes it so that higher levels are a bit slower but I'm just curious if there's anything I can do to make it a bit faster.

[novel orbit]

Do you have to have completed the game to get to memoria misera ex

[faint flare]

5.0 complete + lv70 24mans fully done to start the chain required

[frank dune]

I wondered if someone could help, I've just done 'A Relic Reborn (Artemis Bow)' and have moved onto 'Up in Arms'. I have to do fates right? I found this - https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Atma_Zodiac_Weapons/Quest but it doesn't show exact locations, so I am confused lol.

[wheat plume]

How can I write a macro for crafter? I wanna craft like 100 of the same HQ and I wanna just let it do it by itself. (I know how to use macros, I just wanna know what exactly goes in one for crafter)

[lunar nexus]

Any FATE in the specified location will work

[dense estuary]

Im trying to add someone as a friend on my data center who is on a different world and its saying they dont exist but ive done it before. Anyone know why that is?

[lunar nexus]

You can't macro more than one crafting operation at a time

[lunar nexus]

Unsure but you can possibly get around it by visiting their world (via an aetheryte in one of the three main cities) then add them

[wheat plume]

So I can't put more than 1 crafter action in a macro?

[frank dune]

oh is it a drop chance?

[lunar nexus]

To clarify you can do a single craft per macro, assuming that macro is 15 lines or less

if it's more you need to press two buttons per craft instead

[faint flare]

Synthesis actions need wait.3, buffs can use wait.2

[noble kernel]

The glamour plate system seems very confusing

[lunar nexus]

You can't like make 100 items automatically though

you'd need to press the macro each time

[wheat plume]

ok

[carmine oriole]

hi, im on lv50 miner job quest, getting darksteel ore from unspoiled node. now is 1 AM in eorzea, and im at the exact coordinate the wiki tell me to be. but i still cant find the node, anything i miss?

[umbral dune]

Truth of mountain

[faint flare]

Turn on truth of the mountaind

[carmine oriole]

turned on

[wheat plume]

do u have an example for crafting macro please, I dont know basic stuff like how to deal with actions that have more than 1 word, if I can put multiple actions in 1 line, how to put the wait command, etc

[faint flare]

Quotation marks or auto translate for multi words

[oak ice]

<wait.x> where x is whole seconds

[faint flare]

/ac "skill name" <wait.3>

[wheat plume]

I've never used auto translate in the game, I don't know how to use it lol

[oak ice]

Tab

[faint flare]

Press tab while typing

[fervent bronze]

is it just me or is the vegetation

really flickery

and pixelly

[wheat plume]

and with controller? sometimes I've prompted an auto-words menu (I assume that's the auto-translate)

[faint flare]

R1

[rich gazelle]

i got a gundamlike gabriel mount from bozja today. how many mounts are there in bozja?

[wheat plume]

can it translate anything I write?

[faint flare]

3, 4 counting cerberus

[neon fog]

ShB role quests, do they take long?

[wheat plume]

or only premade words?

[faint flare]

Auto translate has a fixed dictionary

But it's pretty massive

[leaden ginkgo]

Most vegetation is a flat texture, not a 3D model. Grass and leaves will likely not have 3D models for a long time yet

[neon fog]

Is it faster if I do it on DPS job, do I have to kill things

[faint flare]

They take the same time

[lunar nexus]

wrong channel I think lol

[faint flare]

They're basically your job quests

[oak ice]

The lengths are pretty much the same for all roles

[faint flare]

There's one every 2 levels

[oak ice]

The dps enemies have more hp

[neon fog]

I see, thanks 🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

Nifon's comment up there

[lunar nexus]

ah

I scrolled up but didn't see that

my bad

[wheat plume]

nice, this could really help to PS4 users who don't have keyboard, there are like A LOT of words there, why no one talks about that when talking about stuff to do on PS4 controller lol?

[desert ravine]

my tank items are all broken what's the downside of items that has zero durability in dungeon?

[lunar nexus]

they give no stats

[faint flare]

You get literally 0 stats

[lunar nexus]

you could have 150k hp with all your items and 8000 if they're all broke

[faint flare]

You basically have nothing In that slot

[oak ice]

It's like you have nothing equipped

[fickle radish]

is it worth bothering to add materia to pre-bis gear if theyre gnna get replaced soon anyways

[vagrant crescent]

Do they extend the story every .1 update so like 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, "or" just from time to time like 5.3, and 5.5? Lol XD

[faint flare]

Yes

That's the post patch quests

[wheat plume]

can I put auto-translate stuff in macros?

[desert ravine]

he can barely tank 3 mobs omg

[faint flare]

Yes

[wheat plume]

how?

[faint flare]

They're perfectly valid for adding skills

[warm snow]

Yes, except the final patch

That's x.5 and x.55

[neon fog]

can I access eulmore gear vendors at the end of 5.0?

[faint flare]

Sane way

Type and tab/r1

[wheat plume]

nice, thxs

[faint flare]

Yes

[neon fog]

ty

[vagrant crescent]

I see. I always thought it was from time to time like x.3, and x.5. Guess I was wrong though, lol XD

[warm snow]

x.3 is usually the climax of the expansion epilogue. 3.3 and 5.3 for example very much finish up heavensward and shadowbringers

x.5 is usually a large event that's the major trigger of the next expansion

3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 are all strong examples of this

[vagrant crescent]

Event? So like it's not in the game anymore?

[warm snow]

A literal event

[boreal storm]

No like story event

[warm snow]

@vagrant crescent where are you story wise atm

So I can explain with an example that won't spoil

[wheat plume]

Can 1 macro call another macro?

[faint flare]

No

[warm snow]

No

[faint flare]

For obvious reasons

[warm snow]

You could make an infinite lopp

Easily

[wheat plume]

is that bad?

[boreal storm]

Yeah

[faint flare]

Duh, bots

[warm snow]

You know what they say about giving people an inch

[buoyant saffron]

Do you get a free fantasia as a quest reward like it looks in the wiki (https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Fantasia) ?

[faint flare]

Only 1

[boreal storm]

Yes for beating ARR

[vagrant crescent]

In Heavensward. And I just allied with the dragon. Father or brother (idk, lol) of Nighogg or something.

Did the dungeon that fight that dragon too. Think it's 3.3 or before?

[buoyant saffron]

1 per character or per account?

[faint flare]

Character

It was an old veteran reward but they moved it to story quest

[buoyant saffron]

so basically you can full edit your character once you finish ARR right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[buoyant saffron]

thanks i was planing to start again since i didn't like my appearance so amazing 😄

[waxen kelp]

Any info on where to look for behemoth callouts nowdays btw?

[warm snow]

2.5 was the patch where ||midgardsormr took away hydaelyn blessing. Its also the patch where you first killed an ascian.|| 2.55 was ofc the banquet

[obtuse marsh]

im currentlly lvl 51 and its super slow to lvl up when does it start to speed up and give more exp?

[boreal storm]

Heavensward

[vagrant crescent]

So like a celebration of an ending? Which later show a credit roll again?

[warm snow]

No

The second credits is in x.55

[faint flare]

When you get to heavensward xp from story turns back to normal

They don't want you overlevelled too much for the expansion

[lean talon]

Hey how do I set up a pf to only allow people at lvl 80?

[warm snow]

You're doing old level cap content. It didn't give exp originally

[hollow aurora]

does the durability at which you finish crafting an item matter?

[silk jetty]

why certain item like this which is only used for collectable doesnt bring up the collectable mining ui

[faint flare]

Cause they're not collectibles anyone

[hollow aurora]

like say it's 5durability left only, but you got 100 hq and 100 progress does it do anything?

[faint flare]

No

[hollow aurora]

noiice

[silk jetty]

ohh so completely useless 🤣

[runic cairn]

so why are they even still gatherable

[faint flare]

You can even finish with 0 durability

As long as you finish the craft

At the same time

[boreal storm]

Im sure they have some use?

[raven sage]

iirc they count toward the mining achievements

[vagrant crescent]

I see. So story start and ends in x.0, then they comtinute the story with an update which ends again at x.3 and x.5 or x.55?

If so then I've heard expansion is as long as half of 2.0 story. Is x.1 - x.3 and x.4 to x.55 as long as half of the 2.0 story too or no?

[warm snow]

No

[twilit arch]

generally the main story for an expac "ends" at .3

[warm snow]

Not exactly

[twilit arch]

with .4 and .5 being lead ups into the expansion

[warm snow]

Patch content is cumulatively an epilogue of the current expansion and prologue of the next expansion

[boreal storm]

Wrap up expansion 1, transition to expansion 2

[warm snow]

The main parts of the epilogue usually wrap up around x.3 and the prologue is pretty much done by x.5

[vagrant crescent]

So x.3 is an ending of an expansion, and .55 is an introduction to the next expansion?

[faint flare]

Story wise

[twilit arch]

.4 and .5 patches are the lead ups

[warm snow]

Mostly

You'll see it for yourself properly in hw

Arr patches are all over the place

[twilit arch]

ARR works pretty much in a similar fashion

2.1-2.3 are effectively working on the "ending" of ARR

2.4-2.55 are your lead ups to heavensward

[vagrant crescent]

If x.3 and x.55 isn't aa long as half of the base game then what about both combined?

If still no then how long is it?

[twilit arch]

quest number wise they're shorter than expansion

[remote lintel]

is there an orchestrion for the gangos music

[twilit arch]

cutscene length they're still not going to be quite as long as .0

[vagrant crescent]

Even when both of them are combined?

[twilit arch]

even combined

they're shorter than .0

HW is like 98 quests

post HW is 40

[hushed zealot]

So i had a really odd wonder about very minor things
The Relic weapon here, you cannot slot Materia, but it has far higher stats than normal to compensate.
Is this Relic weapon, if ilvl synced down, stronger than normal because of it?

[boreal storm]

Yep

[vagrant crescent]

I see, lol 😂

So if HW is like half of 2.0. then 3.3 and 3.5 combined would be quarter of 2.0 than? Lol 😂

[hushed zealot]

I dun imagine that much stronger, but still neat to know

[twilit arch]

basically have to keep in mind .0 has to cover atleast 10 levels (50 for ARR)

the post msq doesn't

its done when you're capped

and not intended to be leveling

which is why it gives fairly poor exp now

[boreal storm]

Post ShB doesn’t even give exp yet

[faint flare]

Well sync will still cap the stats. However if you spread the stats out in multiple different stats then you can get "more" stats when synced

That's why shadowbringers relics are Bis for ultimates

Cause you spread the stats out to avoid the substats being synced

[vagrant crescent]

If it is quarter and the expansion is half. 25% + 50% = 75%. I think that's still pretty long which is cool, lol 😂

[faint flare]

And therefore lose less

[hushed zealot]

That's some quirky fun

I imagine there's math about like

How much this gives?

[reef plank]

hi guys, is there an easy way to look for the hunting logs mobs in game ?

[faint flare]

Considering how small substats are. It's like sub 1% difference

[hushed zealot]

Neat

Thankyeh

[violet solstice]

Question about spiritbound. My Scaevan gear's (level 70 token gear) spiritbound % isn't going up. Does it only increase in content that doesn't snyc item level to below what it is listed as?

[faint flare]

You need to do content around its level

[violet solstice]

i just returned from a long break lol

[jade quartz]

The hunting log tells you which area of the map they’re in, and they have markers above their heads

[violet solstice]

thank you 🙂

[umbral tinsel]

black mage question: when i have fire umbra, i see that the cast time for ice spells goes down, and vice versa, but i don't see anything in the skills descriptions that says why

[blazing oriole]

hello I'm trying to achieve chef sargeant, but I have alraedy done all the hunt logs up to the 2nd, and I can't do the third yet

What's a fast way to get seals?

I'm kinda stuck

[umbral tinsel]

fates and turning in green gear i think

[fresh viper]

do dungeons, roll for all gear loot, turn them in under expert delivery

[jade quartz]

This is to facilitate switching between fire and ice using fire3 and blizz3.

The trait Magick and Mend II tells you about it.

[dull valley]

why are you wanting to transfer?

[umbral tinsel]

thank you, that's what i was missing. i knew it said it somewhere, just couldn't find it

[reef compass]

silly question from a wow player, can you make mouseover macro in this game for healing?

[dull valley]

not really nio

[knotty lily]

You can but you Should not

[jade quartz]

Yes but don’t

[reef compass]

noted

ty

[jade quartz]

1. Never macro gcds
2. You can macro oGCDs but they’ll be jank

There is a third party addon to enable mouseover

[knotty lily]

If you're on Aether, then ALL Servers are just as congested right now thanks to the WoW exodus. You won't find much better as far as Q times, if thats what you're worried about

[jade quartz]

But I’d only recommend that if you really can’t deal with manual heal targeting, since being an addon it breaks every patch until it’s updated

[near rover]

where do i unlock vrandtic folklore?

[dull valley]

@near rover eulmore

[jade quartz]

All North American and European servers are currently overcrowded

[knotty lily]

Yeah, thats not specific to your server - dungeons take players from across Aether , not where you live

And note that all NA Data Centers are in the same place (California?) so Primal or Crystal arent "different"

[near rover]

is it these?

[knotty lily]

So sounds like a connection problem, but I'm no expert on those

[dull valley]

@near rover yes

[near rover]

thank you

[dull valley]

we just told you, there isnt a "good" one for you to go to

[robust crow]

what do you do with all the leftover fish from ocean fishing

[obtuse marsh]

heavensword start on lvl 80 right?

[umbral dune]

50

80 is Endwalker when it comes out

[obtuse marsh]

oh someone said that i would get normal exp as soon as heavensword started im already lvl 51 and its still slow :/

[knotty lily]

You're still in ARR, probably*

[knotty lily]

Theres ARR Base (1-50, Prae) then then ARR Post-game takes about 80 quests after Prae, and "Post-ARR" gives little to no exp because "It doesnt need to", the whole thing takes place at "level 50 only".
Once THAT is done, Heavensward starts. Basically the moment you enter Ishgard, you'll be doing 51 quests shortly after but by then you'll probably be level 55 or something crazy and thats okay

[obtuse marsh]

damn that seems like its going to ttake some time xd

ty for the answer

[knotty lily]

Well we spent 2 years at level 50 cap at the time so you're basically doing "Two years worth" of quests, from 2.1 thru 2.55 haha.
Same thing happens with every expansion!

Desynth for a chance at bait or sell them to clear out the inventory. No other use for them unless you want the canvas works.

[obtuse marsh]

"Two years worth" O.O

[violet solstice]

yeah the ARR quests are why I never made it into Heavensward until a month ago lol

[uneven dune]

Why is my squadron so bad? They're level 36 and still fail level 25 missions

[obtuse marsh]

how long have you been playing

[umbral dune]

level them higher

[rancid onyx]

are you meeting the stat requirements?

[uneven dune]

No but I can't train them any higher

[violet solstice]

i played a little in 1.0 and started back at 2.0. I took LONG breaks though until about a month ago

[patent citrus]

You need the correct stats, that's what the training are for.

[rancid onyx]

once you reach the max level youll have to start juggling the stats through training

[cinder juniper]

Hi I just hit 80 a week ago and got myself some crafted gears to ilevel 514. What should I be doing to get higher ilevel ?

[patent citrus]

Adjust the stats to the mission requirements, if it's a rank up mission you need all 3 stats fullfilled.

[rancid onyx]

if you need a lot of mental sacrifice strength and mental

[boreal storm]

And changing up your team comp

[rancid onyx]

are all tanks still balanced at level 60?

[umbral dune]

training give the same exp, just your members need way more. Doing command mission to boost it faster

[obtuse marsh]

what about transmog does it work like in wow? i have to get the gear 1st before i get the apperence?

Glamour FAQ

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

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

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

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

[faint flare]

See above

!faq glamourdresser

[zinc orbit]

Glamour Dresser FAQ

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"

The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.

"How do I use it?"

In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".

When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

I got KO at floor 40 in potd, if i try it again and success, will aetherpool upgrade stay or I outright delete the save?

[knotty lily]

514 isnt bad - Cap your Rev tomes every week, then work on....
doing the Nier raid for 520 left side (and one of each for Cryptlurker upgrade pieces), Augmenting any Exarchic gear you have into Augmented Exarchic with Allegories, and otherwise trying to do Diamond EX for a weapon (and looking to start some E8S+ if you wanted to)

Having said that of course theres the Blades level 80 Relic weapon if you're looking to grind that out and get an i535 Weap **

[cinder juniper]

Okay. Thank you. I feel like upgrading weapon to 530 is the toughest one

[faint flare]

See pins on how to upgrade ilvl

Everything is easy to farm up

[knotty lily]

Yeah if you have a 510 Exarchic weapon get that to 520 Augmented Exarchic first, thats the most important piece. Otherwise the rest is at your leisure, got lots of time until EW drops

[patent citrus]

At LV 60? Probably not

[glacial isle]

where do you get Eden's Gate weapons?

I assume they're the next level of weapon that's not Allegory Tomestone weapons

[twilit arch]

considering that SE doesn't bother to balance lower levels, and only does it for max lvl. there's gonna be some discrepancy at non cap levels for jobs @rancid onyx

raid weapons are from the savage version of the fight, specifically the final fight of the tier

[faint flare]

Gate is the first tier so the weapon would be in hunt currency iirc

[glacial isle]

i mean the normal version

[faint flare]

Verse is allegory and promise is Revelation

[twilit arch]

That would be the deepshadow weapon then

which is nuts

[faint flare]

Gate was whatever the first tome set was and would be In hunt currency

[glacial isle]

then what are the Blades of Antiquity for

[raven sage]

They used to be a part of the process of getting weapons when you needed the tomes for it as well

[twilit arch]

would've been used to exchange for the tomestone which was required to buy the weapon

fairly certain you can still do the old method of getting it

[raven sage]

I don't think you can get the tokens anymore

But if you had them already yeah

[glacial isle]

hrm. does the Copied Factory drop weapons? Cause I used my Allegory tomes for the top and am out of Nuts

[shut harbor]

I finally made it to ishgard so how do I change my class to machinist?

[novel orbit]

Sorry if this seems too vague but what classes feel the fastest

[faint flare]

24mans never drop weapons

[twilit arch]

no, 24mans never do

you can buy the tokens with nuts

[faint flare]

Go to the machinist guild

And get the quest

[novel orbit]

Not necessarily spammy but fast animations

[shut harbor]

Ok thanks

[plush hound]

No weapons. Armor only.

[brisk plover]

What r “unidentifiable” things for such as bone???

[twilit arch]

if you have the gil, can buy exarchic. if not, i would look into getting the shadowbringers relic weapon

[twilit arch]

they are used as part of the anima (lv60) relic weapon chain

[brisk plover]

Is there any point to lvl 60 relic

[twilit arch]

glamour

[faint flare]

Glam

[brisk plover]

Ohhh

[glacial isle]

it looks very nice

[brisk plover]

How many of each do u need

[glacial isle]

10

[crystal briar]

whats faster 70-80 dungeons spam or bozja?

[open ember]

Dunegons for healers and tanks

Bozja for dps

[jovial beacon]

So when exactly can you start getting poetics? Just turned lvl 50 and the next msq is IL 42. Says use tombstones but I don't see them on my currency tab.

[faint flare]

After castrum and praeotirum

[thorn thicket]

Just saw a PF mentioning "limit cut" on Diamond Weapon... what the hell???

[open ember]

Nothing wrong with doing bozja for everything tho so

[faint flare]

Do your lv50 job quest and equip the i90 gear gicen

[faint flare]

Limit cut is Flood of Ray

[thorn thicket]

why call it limit cut???

[faint flare]

It's the same style of mechanic

[plush hound]

Level 50 dungeons is when you start.

[thorn thicket]

from what??

[faint flare]

And it uses the exact same dots as Limit cut does

From A11

[thorn thicket]

which is from what?

oh

[faint flare]

People get numbers, numbers go here

Same style mechanic with the same visual tell

[thorn thicket]

i'm aware of the mechanics i just ran A11 like 3 times and never bothered again

[jovial beacon]

Thx!

[dawn cove]

any mch weapon similar to this?

[jovial beacon]

Here's one. What like key + 1 do you use. All I can manage is shift + 1.

Keybindings

[twilit arch]

garo, its no longer available

[patent citrus]

Shift and alt are quite popular

[twilit arch]

oh sorry

uh not really

garo is pretty unique

[patent citrus]

But you can use ctrl

[twilit arch]

you're kind of SoL on small gun

[umbral dune]

for me Alt is easier

[glacial isle]

do you need MSQ progress to get into the Bozjan Southern Front?

[faint flare]

No

[glacial isle]

(i mean aside from Shadowbringers)

[faint flare]

Just buy it with 25 clusters

Oh bojza entry

5.1 completed

[glacial isle]

ah

[faint flare]

Plus ivalice raids done

[patent citrus]

Do use gaming mouse if you have, so you can press shift and alt with your right hand

[torpid falcon]

I'm confused about the store

these seem to contradict each other

only one character can have it? or one character uses the item and all characters have it?

[umbral dune]

all char get, each char can use 1 time only

[torpid falcon]

so one character uses and all get?

[umbral dune]

mean one char can not use it the second time

[torpid falcon]

I don't see why you'd need to use a second time if all characters get

[umbral dune]

distributed to all mean everytime you create a char, it in the email (moogle mail)

[faint flare]

It's basically saying "don't buy this twice dummy"

[torpid falcon]

and if already used, they all have?

[patent citrus]

Same amount of stars?

[plush hound]

No, each character you have gets the item. Using it is specific for that character only however.

[torpid falcon]

this is my favourite answer and makes the most sense

[patent citrus]

I think one has two stars

Ohhh I get it

[near rover]

Do I need 2 folklore books?

Like i bought 1 and it unlocked quarrying

oh wait nvm im just dumb

[shut panther]

No, there's only one per dol in shb

[near rover]

[plush hound]

As an example: you have character A and Character B on a server and the item is a mount. Both characters get the item mailed to them, but if character A uses the item, only Character A gets the mount. You would have to log onto Character B and use the item to be able to use the mount.

[torpid falcon]

so before I buy, if I were to use it on my main (this is for the chocobo chariot mount), I'd have it on any other characters I make?

[patent citrus]

Yeah

It will be mailed to your newly made character

[torpid falcon]

even if used on my main?

[patent citrus]

Yeah

[faint flare]

It goes to all characters

Past, present and future

[torpid falcon]

alrighty, their wording is so weird for it

[outer plank]

If it’s account wide mount it will be mailed

[plush hound]

The mount won't be activated by default for each character. You would need to log onto them and use the item for them to use it.

[faint flare]

Not really if you read it slowly

[outer plank]

To existing and new characters

[faint flare]

"this item goes to all characters"
"each character can only use it once"
Literally "don't buy this twice dummy"

[torpid falcon]

that's my favourite line

this is why I was confused mostly

"limited to one use for a single character"

[faint flare]

Yeah

Cause a single character can only use it once

Which literally translates To "don't buy it twice"

[patent citrus]

Why am I not seeing that

[faint flare]

It's the warning on all account bound items

[torpid falcon]

this is the cart version, when you add it to cart @patent citrus

[patent citrus]

Ok

[near rover]

Sorry but can someone explain folklore/ephermerial and unspoiled nodes to me?

[umbral dune]

you can use the mount item one, that all

[warm yacht]

What does this entail? Can you assist with one or does it have to be all you/started by you?

[patent citrus]

I can understand the confusion however 😂

[faint flare]

They spawn at specific times on the eorezan clock

[worldly zealot]

this is a store question

[faint flare]

Unspoiled only happen once per time period

[worldly zealot]

when does Shb get rolled into the endwalker purchase?

[faint flare]

Emyhmrals can be respawn

[faint flare]

It already is

You just get it in November

If you preorder

[near rover]

So uh unspoiled is for collectables, but whats epherermal for?

[worldly zealot]

So if my friend buys the base and endwalker he should have access to shb in november correct?

[faint flare]

Aetherical reduction

[faint flare]

Yes

[twilit arch]

yes

[faint flare]

!faq buy

[worldly zealot]

ok thanks

also, bought two GTC's on the website, but haven't received the codes? (they were to gift to friends), curious how that works? (I chose guest checkout so it wouldn't auto-apply to my account)

guessing I just wait?

[near rover]

should be in account, need to reveal code i think

[torpid falcon]

I chose guest checkout

so no account

wasn't logged in when I did it

[plush hound]

unspoiled/legendary nodes are rare nodes active at set times and have items for end game crafts. Unspoiled in ARR and legendary in HW and beyond are once per eorzean day, while unspoiled in HW+ are twice. Ephemeral nodes are similar but the items are primarily collectables that can be broken down for special materials and crafting crystals. Folklore are similar to Unspoiled/legendary but you need the proper folklore book to unlock.

[near rover]

so how do i make this thing show the location/time

or do i never know

[whole wasp]

Gather it once and it will fill in iirc

[near rover]

owh nice

[leaden ginkgo]

do monster drops/mats have an insanely low drop rate?

at least for shb maps

[potent lava]

is there a penalty to having snagging on while fishing? aside from possiblly getting something you didnt want because the pool is larger now?

[patent citrus]

Which mats? Calf?? Quite often..

[near path]

Is this Firmament thing recommended for leveling all DOH regardless. Or do I only need it for speed leveling?

[twilit arch]

thats pretty much the only penalty
